Ask me about my XCOM and controller collection

word.

why not play on the cloud vs download and install?
Isn't that the smartest of deliveries?

I tried the multiplayer on the cloud and even though i suck at it the performance was great.

Cloud streaming isn't viable unless you're on a ultra fast internet connection that most people don't have access to. Fiber optic speeds or close.

You sticking with the 120 fov for campaign too? I might go back to 60fps mode so I can enjoy the scenery a bit more

I've experimented again with the campaign, but I'm staying with 120fov and in performance mode. It's just so much nicer to me. I've played about 3 hours of campaign now.
I did try quality mode, but after playing Halo these last weeks in 120fps, it's hard to play in 60fps so I'll just stay where I was. And honestly, I don't really see a big difference in the textures, at least not enough to feel like I'm missing things.

Halo is super fun, I'm having a blast. It's so cool just running, driving and grappling around in this big world.

The One X version in performance mode runs really well and looks great. I'm a little surprised after Forza H5 which was fine but just 30 fps (not that these are similar games in any way).

I will enjoy this.

Review descriptions describe a more hub world than open world. Is that correct?

did you also spot the huge ring world, it’s a pretty subtle detail you might not have noticed but the game actually takes place on a giant ring

Halo's combat works really well as a part of open world shenanigans. It's a lot of fun and I'm someone who doesn't love most open world games.

There are also still discrete Halo levels.

This game isn’t for me! The storytelling is so bad. What is going on? Why is Master Chief doing anything? The grappling hook is fun and multiplayer is fun. I can’t (well I can) believe 343 spent 6 years on this single player, it’s poo poo.

Okay, after playing the campaign, how about a compromise on the multiplayer: Everyone spawns with two grappleshot charges? and it can't be used to stun.

This is the best Halo game in at least a decade. If you want a story go read a book!!!!!

I'm obviously joking with that last part. I don't really get why 343 cannot just make a coherent, self contained story in one of their Halo games. But I'm still having a great time with Infinite.

I liked Halo 1, not at first but I eventually came around to it during college and had fun with friends. I bought a used xbox for 40 bux in advance of Halo 2 and to this day Halo 2 remains the only game I have ever purchased new for an MS console.

Infinite is actually really fun to gently caress around in. I can imagine it being approx a million times more fun co-op
