Turtlicious posted:It definitely definitely had a way to find custom games. There for sure was not other than inviting your friends or being invited to a game. The port's been running flawlessly for me, though I haven't tried campaign to see if the audio issues are there. The only problem I did have was being unable to join my friend's lobby, but that was for some reason due to my VPN and stopped after I disconnected from it.

For anyone looking for some of your old favorite custom games, this spreadsheet had a good amount. Just use the Find A Player function in game to search for the gamertag and check their file share. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BX6V17ZWzqI2elsQurQ9XjFQa4tI8S9sUZfqb9NEEb8/edit#gid=1260675830 Some dorks on Reddit are also working on making a couple gamertags with filled up file shares to serve as libraries of them. If anyone wants to play some customs my Steam friend code is 68783707, or if you only have the Microsoft Store version (lmao @ you) my gamertag is vomitkittens

the story of halo 4 was so forgettable that I don't remember a single reference you guys are making to it despite having it beaten it maybe 3 times (normal, legendary, legendary co-op?)

Update on finding forge maps, this new site allows you to just search every map/game mode uploaded to everyone's file share all at once, with filtering by template map/type.

The enemy AI in 3 for some reason feels more difficult than Reach to me. In 3 if you take cover behind something the grunts will still throw grenades and Brutes will shoot their brute shots next to where you entered cover which can kill you if your shields are down, whereas in Reach it seems like when you hide at most you'll get enemies coming around the corner one by one which just lets you headshot them easily.

welp, the matchmaking for the game is somehow broken in such a way that my roommate and i can't play together. every time the game starts loading he just disconnects. no idea what the gently caress the problem could be since we're both connected to the same wifi router

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.

chaosapiant posted:As a budding fan of Halo, how’s the Halo Wars RTS games? Are any of the books worth reading? Halo Wars was the first RTS I played when I was old enough to understand how to play them. I really enjoyed it and got to ~45 TS ranking. It's definitely dumbed down from a PC RTS and the control scheme obviously isn't great for the same reason (Halo Wars 1 on PC still uses the same controller based UI, not sure about 2). The story is pretty good as far as Halo games go, and the cutscenes look amazing even now. Re: the books, I've only read the first fivd and there's like a million now, but those that I've read were pretty good. "The Flood" is a bit of a slog because it's largely a novelization of Halo 1, though the parts that aren't hold up well.

Oxyclean posted:I feel like I become older every time I hear someone say Halo Wars was their first RTS. I played the first two Age of Empires with my dad when I was in elementary school, but Halo Wars was the first one where I realized things like taking more than one base, having multiple production buildings, and unit groupings were a thing. I credit it for helping me get into StarCraft 2 once I got a PC; the simplification of RTS mechanics made it a good stepping stone.

You know, over the last few days I was kind of disappointed that despite the poor taste in my mouth left by the story of Halo 4 I never got to at least run through 5 once. This last page has made me kind of glad that I didn't.

alf_pogs posted:I am still relatively poo poo at multiplayer but enjoy Halo 3s the most I think. any tips or advice for getting better? For guns like the BR, aim for the body until their shields are down. Headshots don't do bonus damage until then so unless it's a one hit kill (like a sniper rifle) all you're doing is missing more bullets. Strelok604 posted:is multiplayer on steam this unpopulated, or is 343 just bad at matchmaking What game/modes are you trying to play? I never have a problem getting a Halo 3 match in <30 seconds but I haven't tried to play the other games since it came out. Also the Steam version is crossplay with the MS Store so that wouldn't affect it.

Are achievements supposed to still be extremely hosed up? I decided to play through Halo: CE and noticed about halfway through the campaign that I stopped getting achievements for level completions, skulls, and terminals entirely. I didn't do all of that in one sitting so that means it's been for a few days straight. The 'solution' that Microsoft provides is to delete all of your local data and do the challenges again, which uhh... no?

Figured this out: My PiHole was apparently blocking the domain that the achievement unlocking data is sent to. Unforunately didn't give me the achievements I missed out on when I whitelisted the domain, but I'm at least able to earn them again.

Can someone take a look at the method I'm doing to try to get the IWHBYD skull in Halo 2 and tell me if I'm doing something wrong? It's the last campaign collectible I have to get (outside of Halo 4 which I don't give a poo poo about) and it's driving me insane. https://i.imgur.com/wBVzXFW.mp4 I know it's supposed to have a one in seven chance of spawning but I've tried this poo poo at least 20 times and haven't seen it. At this point I'm not sure if I'm just unlucky or if the way I'm running through the level is keeping it from spawning. I know in this particular clip the sniper jackals aren't there which is a tell for the skull not spawning, but I was just recording it anyways to show the route I was taking/where I'm checkpointed at. i vomit kittens fucked around with this message at 04:40 on May 23, 2021 |

Okan170 posted:What I did was I jumped up in that same location and then ran around the buildings on the perimeter, hopping the gap. You have to kill one of the jackals near a crate in the middle to get things to spawn. Then I continued around back to the location while taking out the snipers as they spawn in. There are some videos... but the problem is even with all that it feels like a total crapshoot and I'm not sure if the time I got it I did anything else. It was literally the last skull I got in the whole collection because of the RNG crap. Yeah I've seen a bunch of different videos that claim to make the skull spawn 100% of the time but none of them seem to. I tried for about another hour last night and still got nothing
