Listen, Halo Online, that russian fan game, is still alive, right now there's only like 30 people online at a time but it CAN STILL BE PLAYED.
it still has tons of servers and is tottally worth playing if you miss halo 3 as much as i do. MCC is no replacement when you can have a keyboard and mouse. This kind of passion these creators have DESERVES a big community. Maybe microsoft will notice and make this thing official. Who knows...
>reddit
you have to go back
>Maybe microsoft will notice and make this thing official. Who knows...
yah no
Stop. Just stop. Just accept that Halo died when Reach came out. Stop trying to "replicate the magic" when we all know it's gone. Move on. It happened, and it's gone now.
Also, linking reddit should be a perma bannable offense.
Why not just play Halo 5 Forge? It's free
But this is wrong
>The novels have been in the best place they've been period, with every release since the end of the travis books being great
>Halo 5 has the best MP in the series since Halo 2
>H5 has the best forge and customs in the series period

this seems worth it though. I will never be the happy 13 year old on christmas morning again. This is about a game that deserves more attention. Halo used to be one of the best multiplayer experiences out there and the chance to have it on pc is totally worth it for plenty of people. Nostalgia has nothing to do with it, this game just kicks the shit out of CS, Overwatch, and that wierd tom clancy cops and robbers bs
Halo 5 did some cool stuff, but adding cases made it a pay to win game and it's bullshit. with 2-4 it was just how good you were at the game and i know some games do that now (CS, Overwatch) but those games just don't have the same kind of tactical feel like alot of older fps had.
is this El Dewrito?
if so yeah this is pretty fun, it's pretty much halo 3 multiplayer on PC for free. It wasn't even laggy last time I played
it is el dewrito. I like it alot so far but it needs a population.
That's only a single shits and giggles mode though, and you earn enough points playing in game to where you have a complete surplus of points and cards even without spending real money if you do wanna play that one mode
>HALO ONLINE IS ALIVE
>right now there's only like 30 people online
then its not really "alive" now is it?
We're lucky its playable at all
it's not like you need a lot of people to get a game going.
besides, the point of this thread is to raise awareness that it exists so more people start playing
I gave it a chance. It was fun for a while, but soon enough the nostalgia wore off and I just felt like I was playing the slowest arena shooter in the world. The FPS limit is also an issue in an FPS.
I don't trust russians
I might re download it
It's time has passed user.
I still remember the early days where people were trying to bruteforce into the actual game and all the new updates making it playable, shit I remember needing to use shit like Evolve or Hamachi to actually play with friends.
I liked those times but it's time to move onto other things.
True
I have 70% of the Armory only playing the game
>Stop. Just stop. Just accept that Halo died when Reach came out
I'm literally playing Reach right now. Has about 4kish players. Halo 3 will be alive once 343i gives it BC.
I don't think Halo's floaty movement lends itself well to m&kb controls. Hitting slow moving targets is incredibly easy and the ttk becomes drastically lower than it would be on consoles, pretty much removing one of Halo's selling points.
Euromantique here. I just shit on all you faggots
Do you people even know what you're angry about any more?
I've played a good bit of M+KB halo and while what you say is correct the game is still fun. Not everyone has great aim, and I think the tradeoff of other people aiming better is worth yourself having the control scheme that suits you. The TTK is still slow compared to other games, you just can't count on a fresh respawn running out of ammo before they kill you anymore.
It was always too laggy for me, I've never enjoyed Halo on PC because Bungie had dedicated servers on Xbox Live.
>Stop.
Nah.
Halo still has potential to exploit, plus has some near infinite fun that is bringed by forge and customs with an already great matchmaking.
17 years later and we are still stuck with 16 players bullshit for example, when are we gonna be able to play Halo 3 style infection with 32 players or more? Or in more massive maps, better scripting, more detailed items, custom textures and models.
Halo still got a long life ahead, at the right hands.
>Halo died when Reach
Now I know you are just a faggot. Reach was the best Halo game until december 2016 Halo 5 update made it easilly the best Halo.
We seriously need more people playing Halo 5 for the kind of potential from shit like this Cases shit won't stop you from having so much fucking fun in customs user.
>b-but muh armor
Eitehr way Halo 5 armor is abismal except by the starting one, CE one and the Shangieli designed one.
>because Bungie had dedicated servers on Xbox Live.
Uh.. didn't games crash if the host left?
>tfw I was expecting this to be the MMO
it being impossible to find a playable match is not playable mate
there is a full lobby at all hours of the day and also at night
That's cool and all, but I liked the idea of the original Duck Hunt custom game. It doesn't need to actually look and play like the NES game.
>Halo 3 will be alive once 343i gives it BC.
God, I can't fucking wait. Halo 3 with an actual population would make me cum. I need my customs nights back, Sup Forums, you don't understand.
>10 people online right now
T-this looks fun, Sup Forums, maybe we could play together...
It fucking defies logic that Microsoft still won't port Halo 3.
No? It would pause and choose a new host.
JUST GIVE ME HALO 3 FOR PC, MICROSOFT
They would lose the subscriptions of the people still playing it on console. Not that hard to figure out.
user we need to talk.
first, user, why didn't you fucking wait until 0.6 dropped at the end of the month to shill it? it fixes a lot of flaws and adds crazy forge shit.
second, user, why don't you say there is NO FUCKING SERVERS IN EUROPE EVER?
third, user, why don't you say that 90% of servers are infection only?
>Oh you didn't like GFWL and Vista? well I guess you wouldn't have liked Halo 3 either!
I am 99% sure this is what motivated them to never port it.
>third, user, why don't you say that 90% of servers are infection only?
This is the worst part for me. Turns what could be fun, frantic games of Halo into glorified CS rounds. I cannot believe how many people are playing these shitty infection game modes and variants.
They would lose the subscriptions anyway when Microsoft axes their gaming division. They don't give a shit any more.
Future Xboxs will just be Windows prebuilts, if there even is an Xbox after the XBOX ONE X. With all the talk about joining the two platforms together, they don't actually do anything to entice PC gamers to their store.
I would literally buy an Xbox One just to experience something similar to Halo 3 again.
Microsoft is actively looking for good game propositions.
How's the lobby count?
Most of my interest in H5F is with edited boost amount. The vanilla mobility is really average.
>HALO ONLINE IS ALIVE
oh neat
>there's only like 30 people online
oh it's dead
That's the dev's fault for not putting out the update like 14 months ago like they promised and just kept saying "ITS BEING DONE"
Why don't you faggots just download halo 5 forge off of the windows store? It's free and is begging for a larger community to play custom games. It has a customs browser
Because I'm not using Microsoft's botnet just to "play" an editor designed to make maps for the console.
It's genuinely the entire halo 5 multiplayer except on pc. For customs it is probably better than the console.
>P2W
Easiest way to tell you've never played it.
