Halo Thread: Games, TV, Movies and Books

You’re so well known you have to remind us in your motto how well known you are.

Your opinions are invalid.

Complex is okay, Solace is the real turd we need to focus our hate on.

Nah Solace is fine

That’s the default forum text under my name, genius. What’s with you people that get all butthurt when someone gives feedback on a game

Nah Solace is fine

Solace is built for FFA, that much is certain. There’s random bullshit everywhere so when you get hit you can run away and reset the situation, which again is perfect for FFA but when team shit starts happening the map itself slows down everything when both teams know how to use it. I’m SR32 and am getting pulled into matches with people as high SR45 at the moment and a game of slayer is timing out everytime with no team going over 400 points.

So either I’m just getting pulled into some weird matches or this is some interdimensional SFxT bullshit.

I’m actually missing heal packs. Shields only is stupid and will always be stupid.

Still having ass loads of fun tho.

So far there’s not a single map that I hate, unlike Reach which had tonnes of shit maps. I tried to input the ONI code earlier but it failed, so I assumed that it had a prerequisite that I hadn’t met. I’ll have to look into it.

Love trolling people in Regicide by going invisible and and waiting for them to enter a room/come around a corner and I come from nowhere and assassinate them like the fucking Predator.

Played campaign for 4 hrs last night, OMG so good. Only neg is the amount running around pressing switches.

lol Plasma pistol + BR/DMR/Pistol makes Lengendary a piece of cake, I wasted so much time trying to just use BR/DMR to clear rooms full of Prometheans >_<. It doesn’t seem like the A.I is as good a Reach, when the enemy A.I tries to use a Banshee it goes full retard, I’ve seen two spin in circles, another nose dived into a wall as if it was trying to take cover then got stuck. Good to see friendly A.I drivers will still do their very best to get you killed :rofl:

I know that they put Valhalla in the game as Ragnarok. I need them to put Ragnarok into Team Slayer. Seriously. It’s my favorite map.

I’m really tempted into buying this game, but I don’t know, man.

I JUST DON’T KNOW!!

BUY IT!!!

Hale (?) gets extremely out of control in King of the Hill.

I agree, even on the second playthrough, the campaign looks fantastic, but it’s oddly flat the majority of the time. It’s not bad, but 343 doesn’t have seem to have Bungie’s knack for showmanship as far as set pieces. The music is well done, but too morose. There’s no instances where it cranks up like Marty’s scores for the “shit’s about to go down” moments.The Grunts and Elites all play it 100% serious, and the UNSC Marines haven’t really been entertaining since H1 or H2. The Prometheans…I’m not sure about them. They’re devoid of personality, and the encounters with the Knights grow really tedious quickly. The level design is…functional? That sounds horrible, but there’s just not any moments of wonder, like jumping the Hog out of the cave on Halo 1 for the first time with Marty’s music swelling, Silent Cartographer, Assault etc. 343 kept saying it was gonna be a much bigger game in scale, but it doesn’t feel that way.

[spoiler=]
The Pelican flying scene sucked compared to Reach’s flying sequence. My friend was the pilot and I was gunner, but the way the thing is designed, I could never get an angle anything he was shooting at, so I just stared at the backgrounds asking him if it was cool.

The scene where the landscape is cracking up and your escaping on the Ghost. My friend jumped on his ghost and started going like 10 seconds before me, so while he was racing through sequence, I was getting instant killed because the environment had already changed and I couldn’t go forward. It was black screen, death, blackscreen, death for the entire sequence.

Not built with as much co-op in mind?
[/spoiler]

Campaign question too…
[spoiler=]
The sequence with the Librarian talking to the Chief…I was playing co-op with my friend, but when the cinematic started, it played for a minute, then went to a white screen for everything that followed(like 3-5 minutes) until the very end where Librarian messes with Chief’s armor. Was there a cinematic there that glitched or something? I’m doing my Legendary solo playthrough and I’m not there yet otherwise I’d check. But it seemed odd that Librarian was delivering a monologue to a white screen…[/spoiler]

Wow. The scattershot absolutely works fools, day in and day out. You can kill someone in 2 shots from medium range and it fires as fast as you pull the trigger. If you think it sucks then you aren’t playing Halo right.

Complex, Solace and Haven are all terrible. Haven especially since it’s kind of like the new Arena Zealot (the worst Halo map ever created). Only good Team Slayer maps are Adrift and Abandon.

Your xbox is screwed.

So there was more? Wonder if cuz of co-op, there’s all kinds of weird graphic stuff happening at times too, but solo it’s been fine.

Is the Light Rifle THAT good? I get killed by that thing more than the DMR/BR.

I’m just gonna regular Slayer cause it’s ALWAYS the same one(sometimes) two maps -_-

It combines the functionality of the DMR and BR but will lose to both in a 1v1 encounter. It’s best used in the middle of firefights from the outside, away from enemy attention.
