Game works pretty well on my PC. Reach is SUPER crisp at 1440p, although that kinda reveals the graphics are a bit dated. But you expect that. Virtually zero graphical options in the menu feels a bit surprising. Not even loving anti-aliasing? Gonna have to force it through nvidia?

FPzero posted:Halo 1 and 2 on PC both had custom server browsers. Also, the anti-cheat disabled versions of the game make the series ripe for modders down the line. Halo Custom Edition's openness for modders kept that game relevant for years after most people moved on. The anti-cheat disable is itself just a concession to let people work on mods now, proper mod support with anti-cheat is coming. Overall I'm optimistic for MCC on PC (I really do love Halo and it needs to be preserved) but this reaaaaally is an early access release. I'm not having any bugs so far but there are definitely lots of people who are. But like I said before, most games in 2019 are released in beta form now

When I was a little kid I had a dream that I had gotten a gameboy and zelda from my parents. It was convincing enough that when I woke up I asked my mom "where's my gameboy?" Before I realized it was a dream. (My parents got me a gbc eventually)

spincube posted:How does the season thing work, anyway? Does this mean the hats I unlock for my Space Barbie, uh, expire? If its like all the other videogames doing seasons now, no, your unlocks won't expire. Instead when the season ends we all go back to level 1 and there's a new track of unlocks. The things on this season may or may not be able to be unlocked at a later date. (In this case they probably will, since I doubt they're gonna add a ton of new unlocks)

Yeah I think so. Maybe the seasons will rotate through the game releases? Or maybe they'll just loop and it'll just be that you have to play X amount in Y time to get the last items on the track  seasons don't really make sense unless you're actively adding DLC content so IDK, they're just jumping on the latest bandwagon

Uh, what? All the bungie games were super insanely fun and popular. Maybe they had some rare bugs but they were extremely playable. All the 343 games have been complete utter dogshit.

turn off the TV posted:i found that in the pistol swat mode i was very consistently doing better in hallways than i was in open areas. in hallways it seemed like i'd run into people who couldn't aim as fast as me, and in open areas it seemed like i would run into people who had better luck with the bloom rng than me. people on the other team using controllers would cause that kind of stuff. it's extremely lame to feel like i have to avoid certain areas of the map because of an rng disadvantage Of course its going to have a noticeable impact in multiplayer! That's unavoidable. They basically have two options: 1. Make everybody use M&KB and you lose if you use controller, no bullet magnetism 2. Leave halo bullet magnetism that was designed for controller-only on if you're on controller, but let people use M&KB Is there a 3rd option you can come up with?

Kin posted:So every time i boot up multiplayer my head is just a complete bafflement of what the controls are, due to a mix of time and a silly number of hours in Destiny 1/2. Sprint exists as an armor ability, so you won't always have one but sometimes you will have a sprint. All weapons have zoom, but only a few let you shoot while zoomed (sniper rifle, pistol, dmr) this is pretty similar to ADR for the less zoom-y weapons (pistol, dmr) but no, there's no Aim-down-sights per se. There's a jetpack armor ability.

Lunethex posted:What made Halo 5 so unlikable, like really. So many things sucked balls. The biggest was the story was a complete disaster. They pitched the story in all the marketing as this "Master Chief vs Locke" battle, where chief was on the run, and being hunted down, and living as an outlaw. None of that really exists in the game at all. Locke goes looking for Chief, finds him, and then is like "k, cool" and that's basically it. So huge letdown on false expectations there, of their own making. Next, Halo 4 killed Cortana, and then Halo 5 brings her back but makes her literally Space Hitler. Cortana. Like, the strongest character in the entire franchise (because John 117 is just a shell for the player, although 343i have been cocking that up lately) is now completely hammy as EVIL ROBOT and has no depth or nuance anymore. And without her in your head to talk to, the game doesn't work as well. Chief is flat without her as the comedy to his straight man delivery. The single player was extremely boring and repetitive and I could say a lot of words but the TLDR is its just not fun. Its bad. Its not a good single player. You have AI companions who are completely incompetent and add nothing. You mostly fight Prometheans, the enemies from Halo 4 that suck balls to fight. All the good enemies that Bungie designed are downplayed. Same goes for the guns. Every level begins with the characters saying things they should already know as an exposition dump because 343i doesn't know how to do storytelling. The capstone of this is the Warden Eternal. THE boss fight of Halo 5. The final boss you ask? Well, yes, but also the first boss, and the second, and the third... you see where this is going. You literally fight the same boss like 4 times, and the last time its 3 of him at once. doesn't even begin to cover what a loving insult that is.Then multiplayer was completely designed to whore out microtransactions. All this after Halo 4 already underperformed. They screwed up bad and instead of trying to make amends and fix what they broke, they doubled down on stupid-rear end decisions.

FWIW as much as Destiny improves on Halo in ways, I find myself really enjoying Halo multi more than Destiny, even now, even today. Even as jank as this port is and as much as Reach is getting old, I just prefer the simplicity and not having all the loving loot guns, and also miss all the classic game modes that Bungie won't put in Destiny for some stupid reason.StrixNebulosa posted:Big honking update on what's in store for Halo: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-december-2019 Great update. Holiday event sounds fun enough. quote:As part of our ongoing work to assess player feedback across controller and M+KB inputs, the team discovered a legacy mechanic from the original game that was contributing to negative sentiment regarding the feel and responsiveness of playing on M+KB. We have adjusted this mechanic and are interested in what the community thinks of this change. The team will continue to monitor player feedback around controller/M+KB input. Just goes to show how much of Halo is fundamentally built for controllers, lots of subtle things to be adjusted. But there ya go. On the one hand, its good they seem to recognize all the major issues (audio, frame rates, vsync, etc.) but on the other hand this is poo poo that should have been nailed down before launch, and this is a loving port not even a full new game or anything. 343i continue to be clowns. Seeing that Halo 1 & 2 are not far off is really exciting news though.

Coolguye posted:this is why i was looking so fiercely forward to MCC for so long. it is incredibly refreshing to have a shooter that just gives you a hurty stick and tells you to use it against that dingus over there. Also loving map spawns and all the strategy that goes with it. Boiling everything down to "heavy ammo" fucks up map design in so so so many ways. And don't get me started on everybody having a super every 60 seconds that just lets you go invincible and do infinite damage with no skill.

Lou Takki posted:For me and everyone I know who plays Halo it's more like why is there even a progression system? None of give two cents about the armor unlocks or whatever cosmetics exist. I know I'm probably in the minority here though, people seem to like unlocking poo poo but that's why Halo is so good, there is nothing to really unlock and everyone starts on the same footing every match. 343i does not and has never understood what people like about halo. Bonnie Ross keeps applying Call of Duty business models to Halo and its so loving dumb. They paid bungie hundreds of millions for this license and have done nothing but gently caress it up since. MS needs to fire the entire leadership and start fresh but instead they fail upwards into bonuses.

Yep, it does have Halo 1. And this is the final phase 4 of the closed testing, so its probably gonna go live very soon, they're just testing it on different hardware for bugs or whatever.  It runs really smooth on PC, and being able to flip back and forth instantly between classic and remastered graphics is pretty great.

FPzero posted:I love this series but I'm starting to rapidly lose hope right now. Launching Reach without Forge was such a huge mistake. My brother and I have been keeping an eye on player counts and it fails to crack 4000 active daily players regularly. I know everyone's probably waiting for the next game update for it but without easy Forge access there's been no reason for tons of people to stick around. Couple that with the other bugs the release has had and we're both feeling pretty negative about the whole thing. 343 were sitting on gold with this release, but they fumbled everything post-launch, and the initial peak sales and players peak was people coming back for the fun of it, and then everyone left. I hope people return for Halo 1 and keep playing until the rest come out, but it sucks that my favorite game of them all launched first, was missing half its options that usually keep players around, and shed the rest of its playerbase as quickly as it did. dude what dimension are you in? Halo is dead. Its been dead for a long time. Halo 4 AND Halo 5 both sucked donkey balls. This is just a relic project to port the old games to PC so we can play the good games Bungie made without having to be on Xbox. This game, the MCC, came out YEARS AGO on Xbox, and was itself a port of games that came out even more years ago on an even further past xbox console. What hope do you have? What do you think this is? Where do you think you are? If any of this was going to be anything but a disaster, it should have launched on PC when it launched on Xbox like 3 years ago. But the Xbox launch alone had endless disastrous errors. Did you hear nothing of that?
