That really is not fact paced at all. It seems slower than advanced warfare let alone something actually quick like quake.
it looks like the same pace as halo 2. I honestly haven't played quake in years but halo was definitely always a lot slower I think

and what bugs are in the campaign? the campaign has been flawless for me so far, unlike the mp

who the hell else would be present in the official thread of a game that just came out

there is literally nothing else on-topic to talk about aside from MCC's hosed up state. I think we all know where the skulls are and poo poo, we've played these campaigns already

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.

I loved Halo and even kept up with the books up until The Cole Protocol which I could never be bothered to finish. Compared to Bungie, 343's handling of the series has been a total joke. I admit, it is pretty funny how the only people that still like Halo are sounding more and more unhinged as it becomes increasingly difficult to defend the franchise or it's terrible custodians

Doing my first playthrough of Halo 4. It looks better than most XBO/PS4 games and I'm not getting any weird slowdown like in CE:A. I have a feeling Halo 5 will be the best looking 60fps game for quite a while even if Cortana's fun bags don't return.

There were bugs with the in-game timer/leaderboard functionality and some chieves weren't unlocking. The timer and chieves seem fixed now, but the LBs for campaign playlists still have piles of glitched entries (0:00 times and impossibly fast times).

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

This is probably an old bug but there's a point in The Library where there's a little hallway that has a health kit in it, and if you have the anniversary graphics on it paints a wall over the entrance. You can see it with original graphics but it's a flat wall witg the new stuff enabled. You can still walk into it, and with tge new graphics on it looks like you clip straight through the wall and find a health kit (and elite corpse) floating in midair. You can see the rest of the level through the invisible sides of the walls and everything. Of course, switching back to old graphics reveals you're just in a regular hallway and not out of the map at all.

What the hell?

Yeah Reach was great and they didn't include it in the MCC because it would have hurt 343's feelings.

Work for a company that can produce a product superior to what one guy did for free with XBC. It's seriously amazing to see how much 343 doesn't give a gently caress. I'm honestly surprised this game even released. There are so many bugs I don't even know where to start. They even hosed up split screening in CE somehow.

When literally 20-25 of the former best players in the country can't get anything remotely resembling consistency then you're going to need a crazy overhaul. These are guys that do not miss on LAN and have freakish reaction times. The lead is different for each player, we're hitting people by shooting behind them in some cases, split screen doesn't display right, they changed the bullet velocity so host is leading less and everyone else is just doing guesswork, people are falling through walls/floors, shields aren't flashing when people are having bullets bounce off of them, you can light up a camo guy and do zero damage/still get zero aim assist, etc.

Once I'm in game playing i don't see any of this and it just feels like halo 2, in which I also had a few laggy games once in a while. Is this on video or something of these 'former best players' because my problems have largely been matchmaking issues.

Do your average games usually look like this? This is just from the Illinois LANs and nothing in that vid is anything you wouldn't see at an average gathering of people who got paid 6 figures a year to play.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgj2YtOfff0

^I'm bottom screen if you want to compare the experience I'm expecting versus what I paid for. Just look at our average shot count. I've been shooting people in a straight line and not popped their shields. And yeah, I go 40-4 in public servers but that doesn't change the fact the game is literally unplayable at a high level.
