Your Brain on Hugs posted:I'm playing through Halo 5 on cloud gaming because I want to see the campaign before infinite comes out, and it doesn't seem that bad so far? I'm only up to mission 7, but so far I like it more than 4. Prometheans are less annoying to fight and their weapons are better to use, the missions are pretty good, and I like the squad based nature of it. It might completely turn to poo poo in the back half but for now I'm enjoying it. Using a controller for FPS games sucks rear end though. Hope they add it to the MCC one day, though it doesn't look likely at this point. Being on PC and a little modding would really improve it. Halo 5 isn't coming to MCC. Halo 5's story was convoluted and scattered, which was it's biggest complaint. Nothing ever seem to make any sense, such as Cortana being in the game.

This podcast about Halo 2's multiplayer design and implementation is still going and it's real, real good. Third episode about the game's multiplayer maps just came out. https://twitter.com/Brav/status/1455988421424418816

Welp, my GTX 970 cant handle big team battle above 20fps. And the load times are atrocious. The game isn't that big, there's no excuse for it to take so long to boot or load a small multiplayer map. It's great when it works though.

So since my computer can't run Infinite, I decided to clear out a couple of the season challenges. This revealed to me that they fixed the issue I had for a while where I couldn't unlock some of the Halo 1 campaign achievements, so I started doing those. And then I decided "gently caress it, I'm going to learn the scurty bump because I hate Keyes". And I decided to do the shield bump because I couldn't get the fucker to revive. I managed it in about 20 tries. I am scared.

I played Halo Fireteam Raven at an arcade today It was pretty fun but lol how it almost certainly scales damage taken so everyone loses after roughly the same period of time. Definitely a quartermuncher

It had its picture taker turned off so I'm guessing the Halo one's similarly restricted

I have a 970 as well afaik, and i usually get somewhere in the 50s if not 60fps - though I'm running most everything on low. Load times are okay for me as well, not snappy but not a bother either.

Takes almost 3 minutes just to get to the menu and then loading a 4v4 game takes another 2 after it finally connects.

My most played Xbox game according to the Xbox Museum site is apparently Halo Wars, which has to make me stand alone among all people on earth. I did really love that game though.

Halo Wars: Definitive Edition is a pretty good remaster of the game and supports mouse and keyboard on PC. Halo Wars 2 was x100 better though.

I played 2v2 with one of my friends a lot back when it was at its 'peak'. We would continually get matched with the same people that we'd just played because nobody else was playing it at all. I really liked where it had a balance of strategic and tactical gameplay. We were a really good team for the most part. My friend occasionally would get caught up if one unit proved super dominant in a match and want to just keep doing that every time in spite of the game being built around hard counters.

I'm lookin to learn about the changes / fixes for campaign coop on MCC since launch. I got Reach, tried playing it, found the audio issues and peer-to-peer coop unplayable. I imagine the campaigns can't be changed regarding the input lag, but maybe they've fixed other issues. What are people's experiences with campaign coop on MCC recently?

I've done all the MCC campaigns in co-op LASO with no problems beyond intermittent crashes if you don't skip cutscenes in Halo 2 but I was the host every time

As I understand it the input lag was lessened but is still present and Reach's weapon sounds were mostly fixed. Halo 2 did crash for my friend and I but setting fps to 60 and maybe also using the mod friendly launch option fixed that. As I recall, my friend described the input lag as kinda gross but not insurmountable and we've been having a blast so far with us at the end of Halo 2 right now.

Though from the sounds of it even if that level wasn't cut it'd still be anticlimatic.

I don’t think the original final Earth/Ark level ever got far enough in design to “restore”. https://youtu.be/OMahag8wEtc

Hey Halo thread, I'm running a whole Halo LP series and am currently on Halo 3. I'd really like to be able to show off some Forge stuff, but even after figuring out how to find the files, I don't know what's good and what isn't. Any chance someone in here has kept a list of particularly good maps and/or gametypes from back in the day that they'd be willing to share?

Even with infinite out I keep coming back to MCC. A lot of stuff in it just feels better to me than stuff in infinite. The hits on guns feel a lot better. The progression system and challenges feel better. It's nice having more map variety (although some of this comes from the earlier halos having DLC and infinite being new). I like how the vehicle spawns aren't random. I suppose in some ways it's goofy but I really like this seasons armor. I just finished the season and the Halo 3 helmet with the small wings on the side is my favorite helmet they've released so far. Not to mention being able to actually play the campaign with friends and replay the campaign missions.

That is a hack/mod. Bungie employees no longer get anything unique in Halo. I think 343 only gets like, a nameplate and maybe a gun skin, come to think of it.
