Halo 5 has to be able to play at 60fps and 1080p at all times or it'll get absolutely creamed in critic reviews and public opinion on the internet.

Instead it'll get creamed in critic reviews and public opinion on the internet about it's lack of splitscreen. :v:

Frankly I enjoyed Halo 4 as the first Halo game where the guns didn't sound like toys and the story, while awful, could actually be followed by a sane human being without the help of tie-in novels.

No, you just had to watch those extra cutscenes that were only available on the main website.

Its a forge map and the pictures mean you can change the season on your forge maps, which is a really nifty little touch.
Its really not hard to figure out.

So only the Forge map will use stretched out textures? :v:

Yes, a plotline that happened only in the failure that is Spartan Ops, so nobody remembers it.

I have a friend who just loved Spartan Ops. He didn't remember that Halsey turned on the UNSC and kept calling me a liar when I told him otherwise.

He's a huge Halo buff and he couldn't even remember this story twist.

Yeah. Which makes enough sense. Normal maps look fine, you can view pictures or videos of them online. The campaign maps are actually really well detailed and look very cutting-edge in the graphics department.

Another thing is that this version of Forge actually lets you grab terrain geometry and drag it around, and it actually tries to match the textures and stitch things together so they look natural. One of the developers said "I was dragging parts of the map around and it was breaking people's heads". Forge gives you a TON of freedom, and that freedom with console power comes at a cost. The cost is that forge maps just don't look as good as hand-crafted developer maps. That's just how it is. I'm fine with that.

Good looking normal maps + somewhat lovely forge maps is better than good looking normal maps + nothing else.

Also you can forge on the non-forge-specific maps if you want to, you just have less of a budget to work with.

The forge maps are big empty canvases for people to come up with fun maps on that won't look as good. That's fine!

Fair enough. I liked Forge but felt like it was more fun making poo poo than actually playing the game.

A friend of mine would spend days making a map and then never play it. Then he'd just start again.

Nope, not this time. I'm jumping straight to pub-stomping, and saving the campaign for a day when I have no internet and nothing better to do.

Nonsense, there will always be something better to do.
