Savage For The Winjun posted:Some guy called me the n word last night. No way to even report people in this game lol I went to go google to see if there was some hidden away option, and the first result was a forum post asking how to do it every reply with the most likes was a variation of "deal with it snowflake" "grow thicker skin" "actually racism is good" glad to see 343 has really cultivated an excellent community

Also in case anyone else can't figure it out, the Banshee's little green bomb thing is mapped to change weapons/1 for some reason. It took me forever to realize it

I've only done multiplayer so far but the only real weird sound issue I've noticed is that the noise for a distant Warthog is just a Mongoose's regular noise and it's very confusing.

I was looking some stuff up with the MCC in general since I’m pretty out of the halo and having no real idea what’s up besides “it was busted,” this poo poo is wild. There’s apparently Halo 1 Anniversary multiplayer, but it was just maps for Reach and that’s available now and just lumped in? But MCC also has uprezzed regular Halo 1 multiplayer? And Halo 2 Anniversary does have remake multiplayer on a new engine but it’s only 6 maps but it has hornets and a mongoose with a gun? What the gently caress

Trip report on controller: the auto aim is actually really strong like everyone was bitching about. I dunno about bullet magnetism, but you can have someone walk in front of you and your whole aim will just turn and gravitate to their head without pushing a button. I think I remember one of the games having different aim assist settings that would impact matchmaking? This is probably whatever the strongest setting was. Also you can hack together the aim assist with KB&M and that seems very bad I think long range shooting or target acquisition (and general maneuverability) is the only stuff that suffers, but I'm also very out of practice with a controller. My subjective experience has been roughly comparable between the two settings, but I could see how if you've been playing console FPS games for years that this would be much much better. PantsBandit posted:Also looking at radar from time to time. I knew people who played Halo for years and still never looked at radar. also god anyone out there please use the radar, it's so essential.

turn off the TV posted:i think that the stand alone halo anniversary game had the halo reach mp but the version of halo anniversary in the mcc actually has halo 1's online mode, but it isn't remastered Right. The Halo Reach maps that came with Halo CE Anniversary are part of Reach right now (Hang em High, the Halo firefight map, etc.) When MCC came out they added the uprezzed Halo CE multi. Halo 2 Anniversary has its own remastered multiplayer, plus the uprezzed Halo 2 MP. Halo 3 and Reach are just uprezzes.

Kin posted:Does it really matter how well you rank? I seem to get a decent amount of EXP from just contributing to a match so far and getting a few medals. Though i'm still only on maybe the 7th rank or so. The breakdown is time spent/personal medals/team medals. I don’t know if your kill/death ratio factors into it at all. I think all 3 categories are capped at 8000 per game and realistically you’ll never get to that in time spent or the team medals. It’s why people abuse Grifball to level up, since it’s so easy to get a few multikill medals (especially on afkers) and the games go by so much faster than regular matches. For like a point of comparison, capturing the flag in a big team CTF match feels huge and monumental and maybe gets you 1000 points? But getting an easy triple kill and scoring a point in Grifball would get you way more with minimal effort and a fraction of the time. Luckily the unlocks don’t really matter and it’s double XP for the holidays.

Kin posted:Yeah checked both and then jumped through the menus. I couldn't see a prompt for it downloading or a progress bar or anything like that. Was I supposed to? You have to hit like, "update preferences" or whatever below the selection before it starts downloading. There's a progress bar at the top middle of the screen while it's going, and it still goes in the background and such. I played a little Firefight while I waited.

Big Scary Owl posted:What FOV setting you guys have? I have been using the default but I think it's been causing me some light headaches that I never had before playing Halo. Maybe I am getting old I think I settled around 105. Higher felt too wide and the default is waaaaay too narrow for a PC game.

Mazerunner posted:double needler wrecks brutes, at least on heroic. although when possible I think you'd still rather plink them from far away with dmr/carbine/snipers. brute shot's ok too. does the brute shot do extra melee damage in 2, or was that a 3 thing? It does double damage in 2. Jumping and melee also does a lot of extra damage, and I think a jumping melee with the Brute Shot is an instant kill in multiplayer.

Seconding this one to just play the campaigns in order of release. Reach isn’t hard to understand but its moments of significance are rooted in nostalgia and winks towards the audience, and I think you’d definitely lose something if you played it first.

i vomit kittens posted:so after actually playing some more of the matchmaking instead of campaign/customs, the hit reg in this game is comically bad. like, so much so that getting in a firefight with someone feels more like a game of chance on whose shots are going to get picked by the server than anything. 343 is apparently claiming that the original game was like this as well which really just... doesn't seem accurate? i have a very hard time believing that something this terrible would be one of the most played FPS on the 360. Halo 3’s hit registration is also notoriously not great but yeah, it’s significantly worse on MCC. I think it doesn’t help that the BR infamously has random bullet spread so it’s designed to not be consistent before netcode even takes effect. I’ve definitely personally noticed it, especially at long distances, but honestly if you gave me the choice of this or Reach DMRs I’ll take not dying across the map every single time.

I just use Universal Reclaimer for every game's control scheme and that works fine for me. X reloads, Melee's on RB, Equipment's on LB. I kinda wanna try out Universal Bumper Jumper instead, but I feel like that one would suck for Reach since you can't sprint and aim at the same time like that.

Lord Ludikrous posted:I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Before playing the MCC I hadn't played the Halo games in a really, really long time, and I remembered Halo 2 as being totally kickin rad awesome (first game I ever bought brand new on the day of release too), and Halo 3 being good...but not massively memorable or as good as Halo 2. I think I had about the same experience. I remembered Halo 2 as having faster gameplay overall and kinda resented 3's slightly slower pace. I think my memory had painted it as having a better campaign for whatever reason, and now in retrospect I think it mostly just came from me conflating the hype around it into it actually being that good of a game. I think I also really overvalued how good Reach was by comparison too, possibly because it had AR starts and a good pistol instead of Battle Rifles everywhere and then, welp.

The art style didn't bother me much, honestly. I thought the demo looked pretty good and was really confused by the shitposts on Twitter just digging into it.The Kins posted:Yeah, this is where I'm at, though a bit of extra shader work on the enemies wouldn't go unappreciated. Give 'em a bit of shine ala the weapons so they stand out a little more and don't look as "flat". I also remember Halo 3 had some really significant shader differences in its beta, too. Though I think the beta ones looked better, honestly.

Arcsquad12 posted:I can see valid criticisms for both sides of the argument but I won't deny that sprint makes big team battle matches on large maps a lot more bearable. The whole point is that the map sizes are designed with your top speed in mind, so it'd be the same with or without sprint.
