yes, you need to experience the struggles of the arbiter to be good online
Yes, it's twice as hard to aim if you don't finish the story
not really, the gameplay is pretty straightforward, you will however get raped because the people still playing this have been playing it for over a decade and a half now.
Hnnggghh... But I just want a different mp game because I'm tired of overwatch and tf2.
I really don't care about space robots and ai milfs...
How different is it from the tf2?
There's no classes right? So no support role or something like that? Just kill each other as many times as possible?
What makes it good?
You can support and have roles but it's not a class. Like if you pick up a sniper in ce you better be getting kills with it or don't pick it up. Support is like call outs, pistol is all around good, etc. You want to control power weapons and overshield and camo which all spawn on timers. Also you want to control the top of the map when possible. There are different game modes like capture the flag, koth, besides just slayer.
That's the thing. Halo is / was a series that had a good balance of campaign and multiplayer, and probably one of the only series that managed it worth a damn in its era. You can enjoy one half of the equation for your money's worth, or mess around with both at your leisure, plus Forge from 3 onwards for real fun dicking around with friends and on the browser.
MCC may not be perfect yet, but for how cheap it goes on sale for, it's so much value it's ridiculous since you get so damn much
Halo having a high TTK means its pretty easy to pick it up as a newbie, as opposed to CoD where if you're out of position you just die instantly. The campaigns are also not really relevant to multi except in the sense that it trains you to get headshots I guess
>Halo having a high TTK means its pretty easy to pick it up as a newbie, as opposed to CoD where if you're out of position you just die instantly.
How does this logic work? Instant kills like in COD reward people just starting out because every game is more or less equally lethal and you don't have to put in a lot of effort to get a kill. The time it takes doesn't really make any difference, especially when your options to avoid fire in Halo are so limited.
Because of the learning curve. If you frick up in Halo you actually have time to react i.e. getting to cover or maybe using the bubble shield or something else. Lower TTK means you simply cannot react fast enough to your mistake. Ask yourself this: will you be able to survive longer if you're being attacked by a BR or Sniper? Can't abuse the low TTK if you're constantly fricking dead by people doing 360 noscopes across the map zooming around like they were pumped full of uppers and having an energy surge. It's why Halo starts people off with the shitty AR on respawn

You seem like a homosexual, but since you like TF2, you may like more fun and stupid gamemodes so, try hopping into the custom browser and join games, mostly Halo 2, 3, or Reach, which most often go for whacky shit and will give you power weapons off the bat, stuff like fiesta giving a player with 5 hours a rocket and a 5,000 hours player a plasma pistol usually will equal the playing fielf ala random crits.
Custom games on Halo aren't the same level of customization to most PC, or even source stuff, but their ease of access and modifying them make its so any moron can make a game within seconds so there is millions of variations of every gamemode and map you can think of.
I would say there may be more maps in Halo than in source, maybe 90% made by 5 year olds cramming all items into the corner of the map, but it still can be ammusing.
If you get the handle of fun stupid custom gamemodes, you might start liking more vanilla stuff like matchmaking or the such, maybe then you should hop on into some campaign modes and put some hours so you can git gud outside of whacky gamemode shit.
Since you are probably too young to apreciate good games, you can start with Reach if you really want to, do give CE a shot eventually because it has age pretty well for a console shooter. Never play Halo 4.
Halo was probably the last FPS with single-player and mulitplayer that had a worthwhile campaign
It's funny, because neither CE or 2 were made with multiplayer in mind, CE's was an after though, 2's was technically cancelled and made on the last few months.
3's the only one fully planned due to XBL.
>>Halo 2A >People play this? >>Halo 4 >People play this?
yes. they have bigger populations than 1 and 2 because those games are pistol br games.
2 has far more games and players in the CGB, I never see anyone playing 4 there.
2A is underated as frick, and no, 2A is the least played by a wide margin.
>2 has far more games and players in the CGB, I never see anyone playing 4 there.
Sure, but most people playing CGB will be hardcore players. It has a huge following despite not having a forge.
Surprisingly, this isnt the case, most H2 games are simply-ish things like swords/shotguns or low gravity fiesta, which have a low skill ceiling.
H2 is not a bad game for new players to try out in the CGB, rarely CGB H2 is ever anything but the dumb and fun side of Halo.
people who exaggerate 5's campaigns like this are the worst. like hate the story all you want, but 5 has really good setpieces and levels.

This, hate 343 more than I hate Black folk, but 5 was an upgrade over 4 by a lot, gameplay wise at least which is more important than cutscene shit.
2=Reach>CE>ODST>3>>>5=Infinite>>>>>4
3's is overated as frick, Brutes are the most brain dead enemy bungie has ever made and you can sneeze on them and they will die, and most importantly outside of Flood, its 90% just Grunts/Jackals/Brutes, Hunters and Drones only appear like 2 or 3 times in the ENTIRE campaign.
Scarabs are peak Halo which saves Halo 3 though.
5 made a lot of upgrades over 4 which made it feel less like just a downgrade of Reach, enemies were overall actually fun to fight for the most part, vut prometheans are still shit.
Halo Infinite is okay but it is somewhat more repetitive than its 20 yo counterpart, CE which had plenty of qualities still unlike shitfinite. Forgetabble and bland at best.
Try and play 2 swords, its always filled with mexicans but still, as long as you have good reaction time and internet, its not that hard and as intense as it gets.
Getting chains there is addicting.

Halo 5 is still at the very best a 5/10 but Halo 4 has 0 fricking redeeming qualities, everything was downgraded from Reach, and enemies were not fun to fight againdt in any way being just bullet sponges, with portable shields, and may I remind you teleport abilities that would GIVE THEN INVULNERABILITY.
Halo 4 is rock bottom, simple as.
>but since you like TF2, you may like more fun and stupid gamemodes
Yeah, that's kind of it.
I mostly enjoy how matches in tf2 can be pretty... non-serious. Doing dumb stuff and reacting to shit with voice-lines. Being in a stalemate for hours, and talking to people about random things in chat. I actually like it a lot.
I know Halo isn't as laid-back or wacky as tf2 but I wanted to give a try anyway ig.
>Halo isnt as laid back
My man you have no idea. Sadly voice chat is pretty dead, but you need to play the ACTUAL whacky Halo shit, frogger, trash compactor, jenga, smear the queer, speed, hot pursuit, monster trucks, splatter monkey, and now with PC scripting crazy shit like infection-invasion or fricking WARIO WARE.
Outside of having characters themselves be the vehicle for comedy, the game itself and the players reactions are the comedy, Halo 3 and Reach customs show what game physics are meant to do, just fun.
Sadly because of homosexual circlejerk programs like discord and shit rarely anyone ever talks, but it still is fun.
I honestly have been slowly making my friends talk in game rather than in discord, in game voice chat is such a lost feature now a days.

I agree the prometheans were worse in 4. But the fact that 343 didn’t adress these issues and just replaced them with generic foot soldiers pisses me off. I hated the brutes in halo 2, but the halo 3 brutes are on of my favorite enemies in the franchise. 343 could have done a similar thing with the prometheans to make them more fun and less annoying. But they didn’t, they just made them appear less frequently. That’s why I hate 5 more than 4

>just replaced
Knights were still in 5, just as a higher more rare rank, like an inbetween of Elite and Hunter, and made surprisingly more fun to fight due to having actual weak points rather than being bullet sponges.
Although I agree Soldiers were generic, they filled a unique role how Knights are an inbetween, Soldiers are an inbetween of Jackals and Elites, with some decent mobility that sets them apart from generic COD fodder. >Halo 3 Brutes are my favorite
Halo 3 Brutes are the opposite of Knights, instead of being an artificially hard enemy to fight, they are piss easy and nothing like Elites were, while trying to replace them.
Hate Halo 2 Brutes all you want, but they were unique there and different to Elites in any case thus my favotire version of Brutes, maybe with Reach's on a near second, if the game offers 0 challenge like 3 its just not very entretaining.
I like 2A's gameplay a lot but holy frick is it buggy. You have a 30% chance of being stuck in the match start screen while other players can start moving around and can get free kills on you, and there's always one guy who doesn't know that to get unstuck you have to exit and rejoin, so there's someone who just feeds for the entire game.
Never had that happen to me, not sueprising how bugs seem to be GPU/CPU exclusive somewhat and the latest update seemed to break some things, and I play H2A every 3 weeks for challenges.
This last update made it hard to play Halo 3 on the CGB, some memory leaking in the server or something going on that closes them eventually.

I'd put ODST over CE for no other reason than its levels not dragging on. Halo 1 has fantastic combat, but the levels are all gigantic and sparsely populated.
>stopped from quints
see you are wrong.
reach has a terrible story. you're asked to give a crap about Spartans who in-game don't do anything, and in-story aren't even there half of the time.
Emile is the best Spartan though, you gotta remember that at the start of the story Spartans are just emotionally detached mutants created by glowBlack folk to eradicate thousands and thousands of people who disagree with the government. Makes sense one might be an edgy fricker
>4>anything
I'd rather play Halo CE and 2 on LASO than touch 4 again. People make threads often that go like "what game could you wish you could erase from memory so you could replay it again". I'd want to erase 4 but then never play it.
I have a weird bug that happened since Halo 4 dropped and it still hasn't been fixed yet. I play with y axis inverted. If I play any game that is set to play inverted, when I play any other game it will not be inverted despite it being set to play as inverted so if I want to play it inverted I need to make the settings go back to normal which makes it play inverted and not normal, this happens to every different MCC game I play so I have to go in settings everytime I want to play a different MCC game. How many fricking years is it that Halo 4 dropped, why the frick haven't they fixed this shit already. Frick 343
There are individual settings for every game. You're not setting your shit up properly. I also invert Y axis and haven't had a problem. The only problem I ever had with Y axis inverted is that Banshees were once the opposite of the setting, but that was fixed with the recent patches.
>but that was fixed with the recent patches
Wait really? I'll check it out. No before it was set up properly for each game, they released the games in order of Reach, CE, 2 ,3, ODST and it worked fine once set up. When 4 dropped and I set it up, if I played any other game the settings I was playing with was set opposite of the last game I played regardless of what box was checked on the settings. If that makes sense. I played the Bungie campaigns often so it was a pain before.

Flight inversion has been fixed as far as I can tell.
However, in the case yours is not fixed, there is an easy workaround;
Keep your regular Y axis inverted, and your flight Y axis normal. BUT only do this in the game that gives you issues (i.e. don't set to all) because not all flight inversions were broken.
Yeah if you play 1 or 2.
1 is the hardest with the highest skill ceiling (best) and every map is amazing to good besides a couple of them
2 is more dumbed down in a lot of ways but still some amazing maps
3 added gay ass equipment
Everything after that gets more and more moronic as frick

You'll have some guys who are really good at the game make new accounts so they can play new people and dominate sometimes. Other than that, it does a decent job matching you up with people on your same skilll level. Id recommend doing some heroic campaign on whichever game you want to play multiplayer on to tune your controls.
Not really, the story has a bunch of shit exclusive to it so it's not something that you'll need for multiplayer, you will get killed at first but once you get used to the weapons and how they work you'll be fine.
>Am I gonna get raped if I skip the story and jump straight to multiplayer? >Halo CE

I just hope you're all still alive and well bros. I miss em...
Reach is a parody of halo that bungie made to try and shit on Microsoft and the series. 3 was the pinnacle of the series in terms of game design, but the story lost its original direction with 2.
The original trilogy+ODST is amazing and just ignore everything else. The multiplayer is just a consolized arena shooter and holds up very well. Customs are amazing with friends and nothing beats big battle blood gulch CTF with tons of vehicles
I tried going back to Halo multiplayer a few months ago because I grew up playing them on the OG Xbox and it just isn’t the same. Everyone knows all of the button combos and animation cancels - it was a lot more fun when it used to be just you and your friends dicking around instead of exploiting nonstop

You'll never catch the actual players who've played that storyline and made friends through the process, and the competitive teams are pretty gung-ho about the campaign too. The campaign is not only awesome (haven't played Infinite yet) but the combat, as repetitive as it is, never gets too old. It's a cool FPS playground with a touch of trajectory variation for other games that bother with that function for 'muh modern uh graphics'.
Halo Multiplayer is terrible balance with shit matchmaking. You either have landslide win or landslide lose. If you can't carry matches then just play campaign co-op.
>It was ok for the first year or so.
you actually sound like a homosexual for saying this
sorry you were living under a fricking rock in the 2000s played that dead fps called CS
Finished CE's campaign a couple days back. The first half was great, the covenant are some of the most fun enemies ever made for a shooter.
Then the flood appears and the game goes to shit. They're a fricking slog to fight and the backtrack missions often force you to run around on open ground without vehicles against aimbot AI
It's unique and te only Arena Shooter that still exists. H3 is so fricking good, Reach is ~~*good*~~ and H4 ain't bad at all.
But if you're on PC without Gamepad is total ass. The Auto Aim/Aim Assist is so strong with a controller it's straight up cheating. You cannot play with a mouse. You cannot win a duel with a mouse. They did two queues for KBM players but was too late and it's completely dead since the majority of players left playing are on Xbox.
Now, Infinite is actually pretty good. It has AA, but it's not as egregious as the others, and they added a micro AA for the mouse. Still not perfect and gamepad is still better, but can be enjoyed.
I love Halo MP. It is unique and has lots of nuances to it. But the AA had to go decades ago. Either everyone gets it, or no one gets it.
I get like 40 fps on infishit and 144 fps on masterchief collection and other games so nah not upgrading for a game I know still sucks bbc because the fricking morons that made the game fricked it up somehow so it runs like shit and the maps seem like they were created in a few minutes by a moron and are frickin shit you just throw fusion cores and blow people off the map like a frickin gay

>Except 4
It is actually alright if you break the maps and then it is better than Halo 2 in that regard. Halo 2 is famous for its skips and Halo 4 is actually fun and really, really short with them. Even Laso is like a quick venture, shortest campaign aside ODST. I learned recently that while Hologram is worthless, the tiny sentry is OP in that, it allows you to assassinate any one target.
Tips I would had loved to known before jumping into Halo.
Hit boxes are different in every game and this matters. Aim slightly above the forehead in Halo 2. In Halo 3, use the controller, the bullets are slightly magnetic and can track enemies, for a headshot aim slightly above and off center as if you were trying to hit the helmet's visor. Aim dead center in Halo CE and Reach. It is the difference between killing someone in 3 BR shots and going -15 every game. I was used to aiming above the neck for a headshot in other FPS.
You would see a lot of idiots jumping around, don't jump, try to move in and out of cover. Run from confrontations you cannot win, wait for the team, stay together. Jumping makes you more vulnerable, only worth it in close encounters or when you are out of cover but you know, try avoid those situations.
Prioritize the sniper rifle above all weapons and try to stay close to team mates, the sniper rifle, even in the hands of an idiot is dangerous and match defining.
Situational awareness, if you cannot find someone to fight, stay in cover, don't go looking for trouble, you risk the entire enemy team spawning behind you.
Prediction, always throw a grenade if you so much think someone is coming, use your radar, the nade goes before anything.
The Warthog is amazing, don't use it like a personal vehicle, get in the turret and wait for someone to drive you or get in and honk. A good Warthog pair is oppressive as frick.
Don't carry more than one power weapon at a time, if you get to a spot where you found one, camp it until another team mate grabs it or you ran out of the ammo of the one you got. Use sniper rounds indiscriminately, forget headshots, two shots in quick succession kills just about anyone.
You forgot gernades. Gernades are a multi-purpose tool in Halo. You use them to start fights, to check blind corners, to give you cover so you can turn a corner and stop people from thirsting you. You should be throwing them constantly.
>Hit boxes are different
No. The difference is that some games are hitscan and some aren't. Halo 3 stinks for this reason alone because it uses projectile weapons.
I aim higher ever since I got my shit kick in at Halo 2 playing against pros and I started to get kills but I noticed that it works slightly different in certain games. I would lose in CE in 1 vs 1 aiming similarly to how I do in Halo 2, also for Halo 2 you simply need to want the kill more.
That's the point of my post. MCC has either pros or completely new blood, and the new blood aren't sticking around. You never see people go say, 14 - 14 anymore in games.
>Join game after passing away, reincarnating into a new anon and growing old once more >Enemy team are basically Siamese Quadruplets >Your team has a guy who is moronic on purpose, one new guy, a guy who so much quits if you look at him and your ping is 130Ms.
Reach is unplayable but every other game is fine if you got the patience to wait for a Halo2A map. Halo 3 and CE are the most played. Halo 4 would be great without sprint and loadouts, the mantis is so cool.

I'm gonna jerk my dick off to this post. It's hilarious that morons like you wear rose tinted glasses and proclaim every Bungie halo as good and 343 as bad halo because you guys got btfod by a community manager. Keep crying though it makes my dick even harder

You will run in straight lines, never throw grenades, not understand map pickups or weapon combinations, and always challenge players when having no shields instead of retreating. You will do all this while versing veterans with 20 years of experience, and you will get raped. And then you will cry on the forums about how MUH CONTWOLLA is "OP" and that you were simply cheated. Such is the life of a PC gamer.
You will never use chat or voice chat for that matter.
You will never learn the map or to prioritize certain power weapons.
You will never drive someone with the warthog, you will use it as a mongoose.
You will never carry the flag and ride shotgun, you will insists on going by yourself on foot.
You will run straight into battle against more than two players, with only the standard AR.
You will lose and go back to being a shit at TF2 again playing on skial servers.
You will never so much browse and use custom games.
The only people that play halo are the nostalgiagays that pissed and shit their pants back in 2012 when the halo 2 servers got shut down. Halogays literally never play any other game except halo.
I played through the first one but that felt like pushing shit up hill. I feel strangely compelled to do the second one though. Any advice for a shitter to make things smoother?
Do you mean you were finding it difficult?
In Halo 2 the BR is your best friend. Use it will charged plasma pistol (disables shields) to insta kill elites.
I also hope you weren't playing CE in remastered graphics. It ruins the look of the game is much worse on visual clarity.
Halo 2 remastered graphics are good though, watch those remastered cutscenes.
The annoying thing about that is Cortana search was a neat crossover and would have been good in theory, but Microsoft search fricking stinks - until now. If Cortana search never came out until now it would have been a success and Halo was still have some semi relevance.
It was supposed to be a selling feature of windows 10 but I haven't encountered a single person that ever actually used it. I didn't even know it spoke. I was just assmad that it searched shit on the internet before files on my computer like the old windows search bar.
I was playing mcc last year and I don't understand the flood = horror meme

>bro what is terrifying about being bashed to death by furious undying tree-zombies and then having spores break into your body to make your corpse another wandering zombie while it breaks your appearance apart, sprouting branches, leaves, and more of the spores from your very essence

no, but it might take you a bit to get used to the successful play styles. Because it takes so long to kill a player, if you can move with people and shoot together, enemies die faster. If you are alone and get shot, back up behind cover and lets your shields restore themselves before engaging. Since close quarters combat is very sloppy, its a gamble, so if you can stay alive longer, you prevent enemies from advancing unchecked. If you have cover next to you and you get killed by 1 player, you let yourself die.
no but the story in Halo was actually good
Hnnggghh... But I just want a different mp game because I'm tired of overwatch and tf2.
I really don't care about space robots and ai milfs...
TF2 is my favorite game. I have over 2,000 hours.
I guarantee you'll love the Halo trilogy. Start with CE on Heroic.
How different is it from the tf2?
There's no classes right? So no support role or something like that? Just kill each other as many times as possible?
What makes it good?
You can support and have roles but it's not a class. Like if you pick up a sniper in ce you better be getting kills with it or don't pick it up. Support is like call outs, pistol is all around good, etc. You want to control power weapons and overshield and camo which all spawn on timers. Also you want to control the top of the map when possible. There are different game modes like capture the flag, koth, besides just slayer.
then just go ahead and play it, its still a fun game.
you don't have to play the story but it's still worth a try from Halo CE-Reach
ignore beyond
That's the thing. Halo is / was a series that had a good balance of campaign and multiplayer, and probably one of the only series that managed it worth a damn in its era. You can enjoy one half of the equation for your money's worth, or mess around with both at your leisure, plus Forge from 3 onwards for real fun dicking around with friends and on the browser.
MCC may not be perfect yet, but for how cheap it goes on sale for, it's so much value it's ridiculous since you get so damn much
Halo having a high TTK means its pretty easy to pick it up as a newbie, as opposed to CoD where if you're out of position you just die instantly. The campaigns are also not really relevant to multi except in the sense that it trains you to get headshots I guess
>Halo having a high TTK means its pretty easy to pick it up as a newbie, as opposed to CoD where if you're out of position you just die instantly.
How does this logic work? Instant kills like in COD reward people just starting out because every game is more or less equally lethal and you don't have to put in a lot of effort to get a kill. The time it takes doesn't really make any difference, especially when your options to avoid fire in Halo are so limited.
Because of the learning curve. If you frick up in Halo you actually have time to react i.e. getting to cover or maybe using the bubble shield or something else. Lower TTK means you simply cannot react fast enough to your mistake. Ask yourself this: will you be able to survive longer if you're being attacked by a BR or Sniper? Can't abuse the low TTK if you're constantly fricking dead by people doing 360 noscopes across the map zooming around like they were pumped full of uppers and having an energy surge. It's why Halo starts people off with the shitty AR on respawn
But that's exactly the complete total opposite, anon
Halo was probably the last FPS with single-player and mulitplayer that had a worthwhile campaign
>Overwatch
You seem like a homosexual, but since you like TF2, you may like more fun and stupid gamemodes so, try hopping into the custom browser and join games, mostly Halo 2, 3, or Reach, which most often go for whacky shit and will give you power weapons off the bat, stuff like fiesta giving a player with 5 hours a rocket and a 5,000 hours player a plasma pistol usually will equal the playing fielf ala random crits.
Custom games on Halo aren't the same level of customization to most PC, or even source stuff, but their ease of access and modifying them make its so any moron can make a game within seconds so there is millions of variations of every gamemode and map you can think of.
I would say there may be more maps in Halo than in source, maybe 90% made by 5 year olds cramming all items into the corner of the map, but it still can be ammusing.
If you get the handle of fun stupid custom gamemodes, you might start liking more vanilla stuff like matchmaking or the such, maybe then you should hop on into some campaign modes and put some hours so you can git gud outside of whacky gamemode shit.
Since you are probably too young to apreciate good games, you can start with Reach if you really want to, do give CE a shot eventually because it has age pretty well for a console shooter. Never play Halo 4.
It's funny, because neither CE or 2 were made with multiplayer in mind, CE's was an after though, 2's was technically cancelled and made on the last few months.
3's the only one fully planned due to XBL.
2 has far more games and players in the CGB, I never see anyone playing 4 there.
2A is underated as frick, and no, 2A is the least played by a wide margin.
>2 has far more games and players in the CGB, I never see anyone playing 4 there.
Sure, but most people playing CGB will be hardcore players. It has a huge following despite not having a forge.
Surprisingly, this isnt the case, most H2 games are simply-ish things like swords/shotguns or low gravity fiesta, which have a low skill ceiling.
H2 is not a bad game for new players to try out in the CGB, rarely CGB H2 is ever anything but the dumb and fun side of Halo.
really? sure didn't feel like it the last time I played it.
people who exaggerate 5's campaigns like this are the worst. like hate the story all you want, but 5 has really good setpieces and levels.
This, hate 343 more than I hate Black folk, but 5 was an upgrade over 4 by a lot, gameplay wise at least which is more important than cutscene shit.
2=Reach>CE>ODST>3>>>5=Infinite>>>>>4
3's is overated as frick, Brutes are the most brain dead enemy bungie has ever made and you can sneeze on them and they will die, and most importantly outside of Flood, its 90% just Grunts/Jackals/Brutes, Hunters and Drones only appear like 2 or 3 times in the ENTIRE campaign.
Scarabs are peak Halo which saves Halo 3 though.
5 made a lot of upgrades over 4 which made it feel less like just a downgrade of Reach, enemies were overall actually fun to fight for the most part, vut prometheans are still shit.
Halo Infinite is okay but it is somewhat more repetitive than its 20 yo counterpart, CE which had plenty of qualities still unlike shitfinite. Forgetabble and bland at best.
Try and play 2 swords, its always filled with mexicans but still, as long as you have good reaction time and internet, its not that hard and as intense as it gets.
Getting chains there is addicting.

Halo 5 is still at the very best a 5/10 but Halo 4 has 0 fricking redeeming qualities, everything was downgraded from Reach, and enemies were not fun to fight againdt in any way being just bullet sponges, with portable shields, and may I remind you teleport abilities that would GIVE THEN INVULNERABILITY.
Halo 4 is rock bottom, simple as.
>Halo isnt as laid back
My man you have no idea. Sadly voice chat is pretty dead, but you need to play the ACTUAL whacky Halo shit, frogger, trash compactor, jenga, smear the queer, speed, hot pursuit, monster trucks, splatter monkey, and now with PC scripting crazy shit like infection-invasion or fricking WARIO WARE.
Outside of having characters themselves be the vehicle for comedy, the game itself and the players reactions are the comedy, Halo 3 and Reach customs show what game physics are meant to do, just fun.
Sadly because of homosexual circlejerk programs like discord and shit rarely anyone ever talks, but it still is fun.
I honestly have been slowly making my friends talk in game rather than in discord, in game voice chat is such a lost feature now a days.
I agree the prometheans were worse in 4. But the fact that 343 didn’t adress these issues and just replaced them with generic foot soldiers pisses me off. I hated the brutes in halo 2, but the halo 3 brutes are on of my favorite enemies in the franchise. 343 could have done a similar thing with the prometheans to make them more fun and less annoying. But they didn’t, they just made them appear less frequently. That’s why I hate 5 more than 4
You like Halo 3 Brutes? Those dudes are pretty boring.
I liked that their armor didn’t replenish and could be destroyed. Was very fitting for their aggressive gameplay. They also interacted well with the new “power ups”. Throwing an EMP into a whole cluster of brutes and hearing the sound of 5 pieces of armor falling apart was immensely satisfying
Their berserk modes were pretty boring though. They just felt like squishier Elites.
>just replaced
Knights were still in 5, just as a higher more rare rank, like an inbetween of Elite and Hunter, and made surprisingly more fun to fight due to having actual weak points rather than being bullet sponges.
Although I agree Soldiers were generic, they filled a unique role how Knights are an inbetween, Soldiers are an inbetween of Jackals and Elites, with some decent mobility that sets them apart from generic COD fodder.
>Halo 3 Brutes are my favorite
Halo 3 Brutes are the opposite of Knights, instead of being an artificially hard enemy to fight, they are piss easy and nothing like Elites were, while trying to replace them.
Hate Halo 2 Brutes all you want, but they were unique there and different to Elites in any case thus my favotire version of Brutes, maybe with Reach's on a near second, if the game offers 0 challenge like 3 its just not very entretaining.
Never had that happen to me, not sueprising how bugs seem to be GPU/CPU exclusive somewhat and the latest update seemed to break some things, and I play H2A every 3 weeks for challenges.
This last update made it hard to play Halo 3 on the CGB, some memory leaking in the server or something going on that closes them eventually.
It's annoying as frick that you can't talk while it's loading
Huh. That sounds kinda interesting. All those "quirky" gamemodes sound a bit like roblox ngl but I'll give it a try anyway.
Only 14 year olds and younger played halo 3 and above so yeah pretty much roblox shit
Never played roblox, but I wouldnt know how to describe them, many of them give you a lot of freedom to move around and shit so they arent quite mini games, kind of assymetrical stuff mostly.
Enjoy only playing gaygt comp shit BR only 1v1 on lockout or whatever homosexual while we aee just having fun
Play FFA then Black person.
>the shangeli world
Felt like the entire world was just a reused Reach asset
>any time we are bear a guardian
Don’t understand the appeal. Guardians were kinda jost hovering around. Still don’t know what’s so special about them besides that they can teleport and be big
>the fight with the craken
Forgettable and nowhere near as fun as the scarabs from 3. You are also forced to use the most boring vehicle in the entire franchise
>but since you like TF2, you may like more fun and stupid gamemodes
Yeah, that's kind of it.
I mostly enjoy how matches in tf2 can be pretty... non-serious. Doing dumb stuff and reacting to shit with voice-lines. Being in a stalemate for hours, and talking to people about random things in chat. I actually like it a lot.
I know Halo isn't as laid-back or wacky as tf2 but I wanted to give a try anyway ig.
Just join a blood gulch game then in the custom game browser
I like 2A's gameplay a lot but holy frick is it buggy. You have a 30% chance of being stuck in the match start screen while other players can start moving around and can get free kills on you, and there's always one guy who doesn't know that to get unstuck you have to exit and rejoin, so there's someone who just feeds for the entire game.
Yeah, by me. Play the campains they're good.
yes
yes, you need to experience the struggles of the arbiter to be good online
not really, the gameplay is pretty straightforward, you will however get raped because the people still playing this have been playing it for over a decade and a half now.
halo is not that hard, you can get decent in a couple weeks, (maybe more for halo 2), the reason you will get raped in halo is because of the controller players aim assist
Controller has always been the correct way to play halo. Frick off pcgays
It’s always funny to see PC players act like a controller just makes everyone a professional player.
As if every game with aim assist doesn’t have a bunch of shit console players.
>played halo on controller as a kid
>played kbm for years on pc after
>try halo on kbm when I got mcc
>seems good
>try to play controller on pc because I used to do that and it has auto aim
>feels like I'm severely mentally frickin handicapped trying to aim
>feels so fricking bad to aim that I don't even think the auto aim will help me and I don't think I'll EVER be able to aim as well as I can with a mouse
Same. I thought that it was meant to be impossible to reliably noscope with the sniper until I tried it with a mouse and keyboard.
Yes, it's twice as hard to aim if you don't finish the story
Okay anons, best campaigns.
3>Reach>2>4>CE
>4>anything
What is wrong with you
For me it's
CE>ODST>3>2>Infinite>Reach>4>5
I'd put ODST over CE for no other reason than its levels not dragging on. Halo 1 has fantastic combat, but the levels are all gigantic and sparsely populated.
Why do people hate Reach's campaign again? I haven't played in forever but remember it having pretty fun levels
It retconned a book only 4 people read.
>stopped from quints
see you are wrong.
reach has a terrible story. you're asked to give a crap about Spartans who in-game don't do anything, and in-story aren't even there half of the time.
Emile ruined the entire game for me. A Spartan should not be allowed to look and act the way he does.
Emile is the best Spartan though, you gotta remember that at the start of the story Spartans are just emotionally detached mutants created by glowBlack folk to eradicate thousands and thousands of people who disagree with the government. Makes sense one might be an edgy fricker
understandable
3 was so boring and the final boss was fricking moronic with a rehashed ending
2>CE>3>4
>Thinks 4 > CE
2 > 1 > 3. Only other campaign I played was ODST and it was so fricking bad
Poor taste, ODST is awesome.
The campaign doesn't feel like a halo game, it feels like a "we want the COD audience" game
It must be depressing and very confusing to be this tone deaf.
3>2>Reach>ODST>1>>>>>4>>> watching paint dry >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>5
CE = 3 > 2 > ODST = Reach (both are kino and would be higher but the original trilogy is just too good) >>>>>>>>>>> aids infested shit > 4 > 5
Frick this gay. Here's the true hierarchy
3=odst>ce=2>reach>anything 343 shit made.
>4>anything
I'd rather play Halo CE and 2 on LASO than touch 4 again. People make threads often that go like "what game could you wish you could erase from memory so you could replay it again". I'd want to erase 4 but then never play it.
>Halo CE on LASO
The playlists are broken on MCC PC, frick you 343i.
I have a weird bug that happened since Halo 4 dropped and it still hasn't been fixed yet. I play with y axis inverted. If I play any game that is set to play inverted, when I play any other game it will not be inverted despite it being set to play as inverted so if I want to play it inverted I need to make the settings go back to normal which makes it play inverted and not normal, this happens to every different MCC game I play so I have to go in settings everytime I want to play a different MCC game. How many fricking years is it that Halo 4 dropped, why the frick haven't they fixed this shit already. Frick 343
There are individual settings for every game. You're not setting your shit up properly. I also invert Y axis and haven't had a problem. The only problem I ever had with Y axis inverted is that Banshees were once the opposite of the setting, but that was fixed with the recent patches.
>but that was fixed with the recent patches
Wait really? I'll check it out. No before it was set up properly for each game, they released the games in order of Reach, CE, 2 ,3, ODST and it worked fine once set up. When 4 dropped and I set it up, if I played any other game the settings I was playing with was set opposite of the last game I played regardless of what box was checked on the settings. If that makes sense. I played the Bungie campaigns often so it was a pain before.
Wait I forgot this was a bug for flight inversion not regular inversion
Flight inversion has been fixed as far as I can tell.
However, in the case yours is not fixed, there is an easy workaround;
Keep your regular Y axis inverted, and your flight Y axis normal. BUT only do this in the game that gives you issues (i.e. don't set to all) because not all flight inversions were broken.
no you fricking wouldn't.
you think hallways and bad a.i is better than being constantly oneshot and all tension being lost because of rng?
Yeah if you play 1 or 2.
1 is the hardest with the highest skill ceiling (best) and every map is amazing to good besides a couple of them
2 is more dumbed down in a lot of ways but still some amazing maps
3 added gay ass equipment
Everything after that gets more and more moronic as frick
>throws a power drain in the building you're camping like a little pussy in
>one taps you with a BR
>MOOOOOOOOOOM THE homosexualS KEEP PWNING ME IN HALO
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
?
The story doesn't teach you how to play the game in the slightest.
You'll get raped even if you play the story before multiplayer.
ce was fun but man the levels got really repetitive about half way in
You'll have some guys who are really good at the game make new accounts so they can play new people and dominate sometimes. Other than that, it does a decent job matching you up with people on your same skilll level. Id recommend doing some heroic campaign on whichever game you want to play multiplayer on to tune your controls.
Just play the multi frick the campaign. Me and my friend can maybe teach you if you drop your gt and discord for vc
not at all halo is piss easy
CE > 3 >>>>>>>>>> everything else
no you dont
but if you want to ill play through them with you
That's kinda nuts anon.
Wouldn't it be boring to replay the game again though?
nah its a comfort game for me been playing it for nearly 20 years, those are just my steam hours
Exactly. There's no way you wouldn't be bored out of your mind while playing with someone for their first time
well then dont come play
Yes. Play the campaign. It's a classic for a reason.
Not really, the story has a bunch of shit exclusive to it so it's not something that you'll need for multiplayer, you will get killed at first but once you get used to the weapons and how they work you'll be fine.
>Am I gonna get raped if I skip the story and jump straight to multiplayer?
>Halo CE
gunna be rough starting out but if you can get good you will do fine, that being said this game is the biggest filter for shitters you need to want to git good.
>Halo 2 Classic(busted vista bs)
The dregs of MLG intermingle with sub 80 IQ mouth breathers, You will either be put in your place by someone who can calculate where exactly you spawned on the map or you will be stomping on people who eat glue and crayons.
>Halo 3
This is where the people who think they are as good as the Halo 2gays are(they aren't). You will be playing against 22-26 year olds who started with Halo 3 and don't care for any other game, the skill level here is consistently above average to average but its the most forgiving to learn
>Halo Reach
The skill gap here is similar to Halo 2 but much narrower outside of AR starts FFA this where people come to farm perfection and killionaires expect skill level from above average to glue eater
>Halo 2A
People play this?
>Halo 4
People play this?
>>Halo 2A
>People play this?
>>Halo 4
>People play this?
yes. they have bigger populations than 1 and 2 because those games are pistol br games.
So is H4/2A.
>So is H4/2A.
since when? brs are good there, but not that good.
Since they patched 4 to make the BR kill in 12 bullets, in 2013.
>Since they patched 4 to make the BR kill in 12 bullets, in 2013.
so what it has always been for MCC? that doesn't make it overpowered. plus most people aren't getting 4 hit headshots in Halo 4.
The BR has never been overpowered, but it has always been the best gun in every game it's in because it's very good at filling every role. This is no different in 4.
that doesn't make 4 BR Meta, especially when there are other guns you can use.
It does, because it's still the most well-rounded option for any situation.
not really
Do we really need to use the word rape so casually now? Can you all just grow up?
*rapes you*
Remember a time, just a decade past, where this would be a funny joke usually posted by a cute girl, and not cause for immediate outrage and cancellation?
troony
*rapes you*
take it bawd
How many times was you raped anon? Did you enjoy it?
Someone definitely never played halo on xbox live, also you get teabagged in every single match so you never even played the game. Just a b***hing troon.
They have different balancing and even different mechanics entirely with all the different game modes you'll be fine
Campaign, especially co-op is the only thing worth playing those games for Black person
>remembering the insane amount of fun me and my XBL friends had playing custom games, forge mode on Foundry and Sandbox, Forge World, Old People on Scooters, Scorpion on Pit, Firefight in ODST, enjoying our prime youth together in the golden age of the internet and online multi-player
>haven't used XBL for almost 12 years now, no clue if most of them are even still around playing Halo or vidya anymore
I just hope you're all still alive and well bros. I miss em...
Have this reddit gold kind stranger
your insults will never work, sorry. You had to be there.
Reach is a parody of halo that bungie made to try and shit on Microsoft and the series. 3 was the pinnacle of the series in terms of game design, but the story lost its original direction with 2.
The original trilogy+ODST is amazing and just ignore everything else. The multiplayer is just a consolized arena shooter and holds up very well. Customs are amazing with friends and nothing beats big battle blood gulch CTF with tons of vehicles
I tried going back to Halo multiplayer a few months ago because I grew up playing them on the OG Xbox and it just isn’t the same. Everyone knows all of the button combos and animation cancels - it was a lot more fun when it used to be just you and your friends dicking around instead of exploiting nonstop

Only good thing about MCC is that it allows you to disable this shit
You'll never catch the actual players who've played that storyline and made friends through the process, and the competitive teams are pretty gung-ho about the campaign too. The campaign is not only awesome (haven't played Infinite yet) but the combat, as repetitive as it is, never gets too old. It's a cool FPS playground with a touch of trajectory variation for other games that bother with that function for 'muh modern uh graphics'.
Halo Multiplayer is terrible balance with shit matchmaking. You either have landslide win or landslide lose. If you can't carry matches then just play campaign co-op.
naw dude it's a console fps
you'll be fine 😉
joking aside, the good players (like ninja) stopped playing halo over a decade ago
you're late to the party, homosexual.
>ninja
?
Who the frick is ninja in halo?
>Ninja out of no where
Frick off zoomer
Multiplayer is just a bunch of sweaty homosexuals now.
It was ok for the first year or so.
>It was ok for the first year or so.
you actually sound like a homosexual for saying this
sorry you were living under a fricking rock in the 2000s played that dead fps called CS
If by sweaty homosexuals you mean aim assist cheating then yes
I like SourceForts.
Yes, your butthole will be swollen and bloody after one match of TDM.
Finished CE's campaign a couple days back. The first half was great, the covenant are some of the most fun enemies ever made for a shooter.
Then the flood appears and the game goes to shit. They're a fricking slog to fight and the backtrack missions often force you to run around on open ground without vehicles against aimbot AI
Halo MP right now is strange
It's unique and te only Arena Shooter that still exists. H3 is so fricking good, Reach is ~~*good*~~ and H4 ain't bad at all.
But if you're on PC without Gamepad is total ass. The Auto Aim/Aim Assist is so strong with a controller it's straight up cheating. You cannot play with a mouse. You cannot win a duel with a mouse. They did two queues for KBM players but was too late and it's completely dead since the majority of players left playing are on Xbox.
Now, Infinite is actually pretty good. It has AA, but it's not as egregious as the others, and they added a micro AA for the mouse. Still not perfect and gamepad is still better, but can be enjoyed.
I love Halo MP. It is unique and has lots of nuances to it. But the AA had to go decades ago. Either everyone gets it, or no one gets it.
Reach is fricking moronic because it has jetpacks
Infinite is so unbelievably and blatantly shit that I cannot consider taking literally anything you just said seriously because you said it was good
You should really try it now
I do not like the weapon pool that much though. But it's at least not a aimhack built on it
I get like 40 fps on infishit and 144 fps on masterchief collection and other games so nah not upgrading for a game I know still sucks bbc because the fricking morons that made the game fricked it up somehow so it runs like shit and the maps seem like they were created in a few minutes by a moron and are frickin shit you just throw fusion cores and blow people off the map like a frickin gay
no periods or any kind of punctuation mark for that long ass paragraph?
bro no is gonna read that shit
It's only one line??
Either way I stopped reading after "i get 40 fps"
it's clearly supposed to be multiple sentences hence a paragraph.
Just admit you're on mobile
a paragraph is not dictated by screensize
It's actually only 2 sentences
who care i can't read it because it's so long and it doesn't stop.
It's not that long
If you have so many words and no punctuation it's a run-on sentence.
I don't understand how moronic you'd have to be to think like this. Just call him a shill lol.
k
>long ass paragraph
>he can't aim at brightly colored 6ft tall spacemen that can't run and jump like their on the moon.
Holy frick get good homosexual.
It's a pretty mediocre story and the campaigns are only fun in co-op. Feel free to skip
Any infiBlack folk want to vouch for the squad battles that supposedly make the mp good now?
BTB is the only thing worth playing.
No, but the campaigns are good, except 4. Have fun either way. Don't forget that customs multiplayer is way more fun.
>Except 4
It is actually alright if you break the maps and then it is better than Halo 2 in that regard. Halo 2 is famous for its skips and Halo 4 is actually fun and really, really short with them. Even Laso is like a quick venture, shortest campaign aside ODST. I learned recently that while Hologram is worthless, the tiny sentry is OP in that, it allows you to assassinate any one target.
I think Halo CE might actually be the worst.
Tips I would had loved to known before jumping into Halo.
Hit boxes are different in every game and this matters. Aim slightly above the forehead in Halo 2. In Halo 3, use the controller, the bullets are slightly magnetic and can track enemies, for a headshot aim slightly above and off center as if you were trying to hit the helmet's visor. Aim dead center in Halo CE and Reach. It is the difference between killing someone in 3 BR shots and going -15 every game. I was used to aiming above the neck for a headshot in other FPS.
You would see a lot of idiots jumping around, don't jump, try to move in and out of cover. Run from confrontations you cannot win, wait for the team, stay together. Jumping makes you more vulnerable, only worth it in close encounters or when you are out of cover but you know, try avoid those situations.
Prioritize the sniper rifle above all weapons and try to stay close to team mates, the sniper rifle, even in the hands of an idiot is dangerous and match defining.
Situational awareness, if you cannot find someone to fight, stay in cover, don't go looking for trouble, you risk the entire enemy team spawning behind you.
Prediction, always throw a grenade if you so much think someone is coming, use your radar, the nade goes before anything.
The Warthog is amazing, don't use it like a personal vehicle, get in the turret and wait for someone to drive you or get in and honk. A good Warthog pair is oppressive as frick.
Don't carry more than one power weapon at a time, if you get to a spot where you found one, camp it until another team mate grabs it or you ran out of the ammo of the one you got. Use sniper rounds indiscriminately, forget headshots, two shots in quick succession kills just about anyone.
>before "common sense"
Common sense, isn't.
You forgot gernades. Gernades are a multi-purpose tool in Halo. You use them to start fights, to check blind corners, to give you cover so you can turn a corner and stop people from thirsting you. You should be throwing them constantly.
>Hit boxes are different
No. The difference is that some games are hitscan and some aren't. Halo 3 stinks for this reason alone because it uses projectile weapons.
I aim higher ever since I got my shit kick in at Halo 2 playing against pros and I started to get kills but I noticed that it works slightly different in certain games. I would lose in CE in 1 vs 1 aiming similarly to how I do in Halo 2, also for Halo 2 you simply need to want the kill more.
multiplayer is unbalanced as frick. Last time I played it was either
0 - 32
or
21 - 3
Long gone are just the balanced K/Ds, maybe its not actually 343 but new players playing one or two games and quitting forever.
If you ever go 0 - 32 you're a fricking noob that just downloaded the game and on top of that you're moronic
That's the point of my post. MCC has either pros or completely new blood, and the new blood aren't sticking around. You never see people go say, 14 - 14 anymore in games.
I do all the time

Reach is unplayable but every other game is fine if you got the patience to wait for a Halo2A map. Halo 3 and CE are the most played. Halo 4 would be great without sprint and loadouts, the mantis is so cool.
>Reach is unplayable
what the frick are you on about homosexual, reach is second only to 3 in popularity, and in the customs broswer specifically it takes like 3/4 of the whole list,l
>halo 4 eould be great
have a nice day underpaid 343 pajeet shill
I'm gonna jerk my dick off to this post. It's hilarious that morons like you wear rose tinted glasses and proclaim every Bungie halo as good and 343 as bad halo because you guys got btfod by a community manager. Keep crying though it makes my dick even harder
No one knows what you're talking about but I guarantee you're whatever troony twitter community manager you're talking about. And i only know you're a troony because every single community manager is one.
You will run in straight lines, never throw grenades, not understand map pickups or weapon combinations, and always challenge players when having no shields instead of retreating. You will do all this while versing veterans with 20 years of experience, and you will get raped. And then you will cry on the forums about how MUH CONTWOLLA is "OP" and that you were simply cheated. Such is the life of a PC gamer.
You will never use chat or voice chat for that matter.
You will never learn the map or to prioritize certain power weapons.
You will never drive someone with the warthog, you will use it as a mongoose.
You will never carry the flag and ride shotgun, you will insists on going by yourself on foot.
You will run straight into battle against more than two players, with only the standard AR.
You will lose and go back to being a shit at TF2 again playing on skial servers.
You will never so much browse and use custom games.
I refuse to play on controller
yea
personally, i will be the one raping you and going 25 - 0 on your ass homosexual
i will find you no matter the gametype lil Black person
The only people that play halo are the nostalgiagays that pissed and shit their pants back in 2012 when the halo 2 servers got shut down. Halogays literally never play any other game except halo.
I played through the first one but that felt like pushing shit up hill. I feel strangely compelled to do the second one though. Any advice for a shitter to make things smoother?
Do you mean you were finding it difficult?
In Halo 2 the BR is your best friend. Use it will charged plasma pistol (disables shields) to insta kill elites.
I also hope you weren't playing CE in remastered graphics. It ruins the look of the game is much worse on visual clarity.
Halo 2 remastered graphics are good though, watch those remastered cutscenes.
use it WITH*
BR = Battle Rifle BTW.
Not so much hard but it was a slog.
Halogays are the equivalent of sonicgays in fps games and you can't change my mind
At least Sega somewhat still cares about Sonic
Microsoft didn't give a single shit when Chief cucked Cortana and made her watch while he was fricking
They even cucked cortana IRL by shutting down that shitty searchbar thing in exchange for BING AI.
The annoying thing about that is Cortana search was a neat crossover and would have been good in theory, but Microsoft search fricking stinks - until now. If Cortana search never came out until now it would have been a success and Halo was still have some semi relevance.
It was supposed to be a selling feature of windows 10 but I haven't encountered a single person that ever actually used it. I didn't even know it spoke. I was just assmad that it searched shit on the internet before files on my computer like the old windows search bar.
You never installed Windows 10 fresh? Cortana would always speak instantly.
Nah, upgraded from an 8 install and haven't installed it since.
Imagine Sonic cucking Amy and going to frick a fem knuckles and making Amy watch it all
70% of halo multiplayer is getting to power weapons before your opponent. You should learn the maps.
How the mighty have fallen
Bungie should have killed chief in Halo 3
Play the story, it's unironically great.
when you encounter the Flood and the game goes from comfy sci-fi alien war FPS to survival bodyhorror
I was playing mcc last year and I don't understand the flood = horror meme
Were you homosexuals underage when you first played halo? Being scared of the flood is worse than the zoomer backroom shit
>bro what is terrifying about being bashed to death by furious undying tree-zombies and then having spores break into your body to make your corpse another wandering zombie while it breaks your appearance apart, sprouting branches, leaves, and more of the spores from your very essence
I just played the game for the first time without having any prior watching or playing experience with Halo, and it's scary to me.
>Bro it's totally scary *proceeds to describe how the back rooms monster turns you into a garlic drizzled fried pepperoni and meatball calzone (it's scary because you fee your toes)*
You're moronic
Why is it not scary to you?
Because you have a shotgun and its a rooty tooty point and shooty. Without all the hivemind power level wank the flood are just fungus zombies.
Again though, why would being chased by fungus zombies not be unpleasant to you?
I'm avoiding "explaining" why it would be scary to me like I did above.
Because its a videogame, you live, you die, you live again.
Sounds like they ripped off half-life 2
ye
no, but it might take you a bit to get used to the successful play styles. Because it takes so long to kill a player, if you can move with people and shoot together, enemies die faster. If you are alone and get shot, back up behind cover and lets your shields restore themselves before engaging. Since close quarters combat is very sloppy, its a gamble, so if you can stay alive longer, you prevent enemies from advancing unchecked. If you have cover next to you and you get killed by 1 player, you let yourself die.
Wait, half life 2 ripped off halo
Halo has the skill equal the breathing. You master everything the game has to offer within 5 minutes of playing the game.
