Fine. Were you expecting everyone to congratulate 343? Were you expecting anyone to take kindly to you talking about how awesome your company's game is when it's barely even playable?

Yeah, it's definitely the PC Port and the issues that came along with that, whatever network code that Halo CE used is loving mystifying modern man on how to get that to the internet.

I talked to a guy that worked on the Halo PC port project way back in the day and he tried explaining to me how they got internet to work and I remember thinking that it sounded loving insane. Like a human centipede of functions within the code.

I don't maybe that's the part of the game they're working on and why they held back the Halo CE playlist a few weeks. I know in bravo's post from the 8th they said it was because of the online experience, maybe it's the hit registration.

So did the patch fix anything in multiplayer? It fixed some of the bugs I was having in Halo 1. It did not fix the terminal unlocking in Halo 2 bug though, although maybe I need to go activate it again?

E: Hey, for the Halo 2 skulls do you still need to play on Legendary to get them? Because if so I guess I won't be getting them because gently caress that.

I'm still torn as to whether I should buy into the Halo series. Is the story any good to justify the time and money that I'd invest into the franchise?

As somebody who likes the story (up until halo 4, 4+ is poo poo), No.

I'll be honest, that was what I was thinking personally. I only really like a game if it has a really good story, which is why Mass Effect got me so hooked. I also don't really care that much for online shooters, so I think I can safely give this one a miss.

I think the Halo 1-3 arc is solid enough for an action video game, and it's not like the time or money investment is all that great if you already own a 360.

You guys are weird. I'm not even arguing anymore.

I'm gonna get halo 5 and enjoy the poo poo out of it, just like I enjoyed Halo 4, and just like I'll enjoy MCC once they fix the launch issues (Which I knew there was going to be because How could there not be with 4 games never intended to be run together are run together?)

I dunno, all the other multi game packages managed to release without putting bizarre bugs into the campaign of each one.

Also you should not accept broken games from anyone.

Protip: If you want to avoid launch issues, don't buy games at launch.

The game industry will continue to launch buggy games if people keep pushing them gold before they're even released. It's pretty loving simple.

Also jesus christ you people are assholes. HEY ANIMATORS WHY IS YOUR NETWORKING SO BAD. because obviously they work on every part of the game

You are one hell of an apologist for a company that can't seem to release a functional game among plenty of other companies who have released functional games at launch (:ubisoft: and :dice: excluded). Why would you give a company a free pass for releasing something that doesn't work? That just says "Oh, I don't care if you release a game and it has a bunch of issues. Just fix them eventually, maybe!"

Halo 5 beta looks like fun guys. I must have watched that crossfire match like 20 times by now.

Rumor that it's a forge map, and if that's true those ramps seem like they're pulled out of the ground. If we have push/pull support I'll pee my pants in excitement.

If they are using the PC netcode, part of the design spec was that it had to support 56k, which complicated things.

In Halo PC you had to lead targets by like 5 head widths if you were living next door to the server. Is hit detection still a clusterfuck in MCC (if you somehow manage to get a game)?

dude likes halo, and you don't. halo is and always has been unpopular on the forums so you feel very comfortable posting about how much you don't like halo even though it has no real relevance to us, the people who are buying halo. Now I'm not saying this game is good in the matchmaking department because it's not, but I'm pretty sure all of your posts are worse and less relevant than his, at least he is posting cool videos about halo

who said anything about not liking Halo? I had fun with them playing on the original Xbox, but I don't think they hold up that well today, and 343 seem to be generally incompetent at times, so it's fun to watch. sorry I didn't realise this was the hug box.
