Yeah, my bad. I've put in a request to a mod to get it changed.

Coagulation, Blood Gulch and Hemorrhage are all lovely, garbage maps and I wish they'd loving die and never come back. Blood Gulch worked ok with the limitations of H1 but Coagulation was just a pile of dicks and Hemorrhage was just awful thanks to the marksman rifle.

Because challenging yourself can be fun?

Why the gently caress does anyone care what someone else finds fun so long as it's not hurting anything?

Hahaha holy poo poo the MCC is even more of a cash grab than I imagined.

Here I thought it was a dumb game to sell you what you already owned. Now I realize it's a dumb game to sell you that you already own and could be playing right now but you can't.

Who wants to play some Halo 3 matchmaking?

The fact that you guys still have legitimate hope for this game is so cute.

The game, all around, is basically broken at the "professional" level. This really mean doesn't much to 99.999999% of players but what it does means is that a lot legitimate kills are going to be taken from you i.e. that triple is going to be a double, the sickest snipe of your life will ping off their camo (more on that below), and all those moments that make you say "wow, that was truly incredible" are going to be less frequent just based on how poorly the game runs.

The above clip is a pretty sick camo snipe against a known player. That is entertaining poo poo, however...

We "LAN'ed" - as in, used the same router on XBL, to play H2:A during the week. I left after 2 hours because I had literally 4 separate sniper shots ping off a camo players face/body. There's really so much stupid poo poo that happened that I should compile everyone's most absurd moments. There's honestly no way to fix the game besides to burn it to the ground and start over but they already got your money, so gently caress it.

It ran better because it was set in a contained environment because all you could do is LAN it, the whole reason it was never released online was because coding didn't compensate for lag and every single thing happened client side. So of course it's going to run better.

My trip report from last night is as follows:

Played 3v3 over about 15 custom CE matches on several maps and the hit detection is functioning way, way better. Didn't notice too much off host lag, but we gave host to the worst player so I'm not sure what the advantage would be with a good player. I did notice a lot more dying under cover than before the patch and the teams are still changing after every round once you get back to the lobby.

In the regular Team slayer for CE feels like the shots are registering just fine, however it sort of feels like the targeting is just more generous with headshots. Felt like an above average amount of people where dropping headshots than before, but that could just be because Team Slayer is littered with dudes who only want to play CE.

Played the HCS list with 3 over 6 games, found games pretty slow above 2 min wait times with several uneven teams 3v5 2v4, split up party twice, and two games where people just flat out dropped. Pretty poor experience over all.


Again, I feel like y'all are missing what he meant by immersion. They're not adding sprint into the game because of some back story that Master Chief was an Olympic sprinter and occasionally likes to spread his legs. They're adding it because that's what people do, we run faster sometimes because we're dynamic. Running at a static speed is unnatural, not being able to pull yourself up over a short ledge is unnatrual being able to do those things in a game makes sense.
