I promised I would check back in for one more thread of questions, so here I am.
Once again, I worked at 343 from 2010 to 2016.
I'm linking the earlier thread. Look there for questions before asking the same one:

halo 3 pc when
You visit a remote desert island inhabited by one hundred very friendly dragons,
all of whom have green eyes. They haven’t seen a human for many centuries and
are very excited about your visit. They show you around their island and tell you
all about their dragon way of life (dragons can talk, of course).
They seem to be quite normal, as far as dragons go, but then you find out
something rather odd. They have a rule on the island which states that if a dragon
ever finds out that he/she has green eyes, then at precisely midnight on the day of
this discovery, he/she must relinquish all dragon powers and transform into a longtailed
sparrow. However, there are no mirrors on the island, and they never talk
about eye color, so the dragons have been living in blissful ignorance throughout
the ages.
Upon your departure, all the dragons get together to see you off, and in a tearful
farewell you thank them for being such hospitable dragons. Then you decide to tell
them something that they all already know (for each can see the colors of the eyes of
the other dragons). You tell them all that at least one of them has green eyes. Then
you leave, not thinking of the consequences (if any). Assuming that the dragons are
(of course) infallibly logical, what happens?
If something interesting does happen, what exactly is the new information that
you gave the dragons?

in regards to "gambled on the esports scene and lost", as a former Halo player who went to MLG competitions as early as 2006 (Halo 2), I feel like the same "pros" who were playing or breaking out back then are still pretty much the pros today. just want to see if you have any thoughts on why the gamble did not work
Who thought the opening cinematic to Halo 5 was a good idea and how soon were they fired?
Has 343i taken any ideas regarding how not to make a shit FPS from DOOM/Wolfenstein TNO? These games will show kids who grew up on COD/Halo that the mediocre cash cows being thrown at them yearly/every 2 years are just that, mediocre cash cows.
How much of the industry is connected/how easy is to move from studio to studio?
>>341530742
>Halo 6 coming to Win10?
Yes. And Project Scorpio and Xbox One. Certain features may be exclusive to certain versions. For example, the X1 and PC versions will almost certainly not have splitscreen.
That being said, I have no idea if the next main series game will actually be Halo 6.

MCC is getting an overhaul for the Halo 3 Anniversary launch, which is essentially MCC with a new launch featuring an updated graphics engine for Halo 3 as well as two new levels made from the ground up. It will release as DLC on Xbox One and as a new game called Halo 3 Anniversary on Windows 10 and Scorpio. It will have all the other MCC features and the unified UI. Console and Windows users will be able to play campaign and custom games together, as well as forge together, but matchmaking is version specific.

Im not trying to sound like a cunt, I thoguht halo 4 and 5 were ...ok
But they didnt have the heart and soul that the other games have. It seems like they borrowed a lot from COD style online and in game styles and gametypes, while also getting rid of things from Reach thy could have built off of. The new armor sucks, the upgrades suck, they got rid of game type, fucked with the existing ones and all the maps feel the same. Not to mention the charatcers feel 2D, and loose all thier human appeal in turn to be godlike warriros .

>>341531454
The e-sports scene was always mostly it's own thing. The games that we're played at MLG or wherever were the games that people wanted to see, for the most part.
The publishing companies have been trying to make money off this scene and have designed games TO BE esports games, befire it can become clear if they will naturally catch on as such.
TL;DR it became over saturated with forced "esports" games.
That being said there's no plans to stop supporting the Halo World Championship as far as I know.
>>341531867
The opening to Halo 5 was never supposed to be the opening until things started getting cut. Once we were left with what we know each we were going to ship with, that just made the most sense, chronologically speaking.
DOOM just came out. No, we were not inspired very much from TNO.
It's a small industry (but growing). It's pretty easy to hop around. In fact, once you're in it's pretty safe to say you'll have a place as long as you don't fuck up. Getting in is the hard part.

>I hear that Frankie is a cuckold, is there any truth to that?
Frank's fine, I just hardly ever saw him. He was very much a delegate of MS from what I understand.
>>341532732
Our first original game shouldn't have been Halo 4, or if it was, it should have been released later as an X1 launch title. We had to scramble so much, and I was hardly even involved in Halo 4.

Ooh. Could you possibly elaborate on this a little? Reach is one of my favorites in the series (I literally spent a whole year playing nothing but Reach when it first came out.) Any possibility that this may actual become a thing or is all hope lost?
So was halo 5's story actually changed a lot last minute? I always got the sense it wasn't and people whining about hunt the truth just didn't realize how often halo marketing campaigns don't match the final game anyways.
Do you know anything about the novels? Do you know any of the stories in the new anthology book? Just general behind the scenes lore stuff would be nice
What was the studio's approach to weapon balance in 5, and how was feedback from the beta actually considered? I think 5 has the best balance in the series and I desperately hope you guys don't take steps back in 6 and make autos shit again

>>341533571
Halo 5 was originally supposed to be a generational game. That was actually the original subtitle for the games. You had chief (II), Locke (IV), and even Jun from Reach (III) playing different roles in the story. The game was supposed to be centric about what makes a soldier and what it means to be a Spartan, a warrior, and a hero/villain.
As more and more was cut and the Cortana plot became the only relevant plot, Spartan IV's were given greater relevance in the narrative.
This change is noticable in the difference between Hunt The truth season 1 and 2.
>>341533717
Early development ideas included a glassed Reach and the soldiers that survived. This was supposed to fill in some blanks about Jun (who was the character presumably) and there was also talk about traveling to another shield world such as Onyx. We wanted to bring that into the games.
>>341533785
5's story went through a major change when the squad mechanics were introduced to the game. That set everything back a lot.
Weapon balance was something I actually spent some time with. Beta feedback was tricky because a lot of the feedback was that people "wanted" things a certain way even if they didn't think it was a flaw. You'd also be surprised how much tuning the weapons needed when sprint speed was reduced.
Also I said limbo, not dead.
>>341534354
Halo 3 Anniversary is coming to Windows 10, which has the rest of the MCC with it. Halo 5 forge mode is also coming soon but I don't believe there's any plans for the campaign to ever make that trip.

Not him but i've been in halo/343 leak threads for a few years now and there's some pretty consistent keywords and planned projects that get mentioned.
Unless every thread made has the OP going back on the archives and meticulously taking notes there's no way they aren't legit
>>341535234
ODST is fantastic, but it's more like a mini campaign expansion for 3 then a full game
Reach's SP is great and has by far the most content of any halo game with firefight and normal multiplayer on top of that and a robust forge. The MM is iffy and the MP maps are shit but the amount of gametype options it has and such makes customs a blast.
4's story is shit and the default MP settings suck but the actual camapgin missions are alright and the MP can be made to be tolrable with the right settiings. If you can get it cheap/as part of MCC, I'd say it's worth a try, but don't pay more then 10$ for it.
5's campaign and story are eh but the MP is actually fantastic, and it's forge is almost a dev tool. But it lacks local play.

Kek, State of Decay 2 was the only good thing shown honestly.
Sony had Spiderman and The Last Guardian, better but not by much.
Nintendo had Zelda and Pokemon, about the same as Sony.
Microsoft was an embarrassment and Sony and Nintendo were below average.
Last time you mentioned that Halo 6 would have less of a focus on story (or a more subtle story or something, I can't remember your exact phrasing).
Can you explain why that is? Does 343 think that Halo (campaign) fans don't care about story now? Is it just because H5 got such a bad reception and they don't want to be bothered?
One other question- how many people at 343 played CE multiplayer and really enjoyed it?

From before: Why were you guys ignoring Greg Bear's lore? Seriously, even though it screwed with the mystery it was one of the few genuinely compelling things 343 was responsible for since their inception. The writers seem to be spinning an entirely new plot and discarding all of that.

Can you clarify about this a bit more? Specifically i'm curious about how automatics and the assault rifle in particular was handled, and how you expect them to preform in halo 6 based on how the studio felt they did in 5.
Ideally, i'd hope the balance for 6 is mostly identical, just giving more of of an incentive for people to burst fire and be accurate with automatics.
Literally the only thing I would have changed with 5 is to bring back the headshot bonus on shields with the AR, but make the bodyshot damage lower so bursting is a bit more useful then it is in the final game
>>341536342
>From before: Why were you guys ignoring Greg Bear's lore?
Not him, of clourse, but I didn't feel they were? plenty of the newer novels and halo 4 touched on the forerunner triology stuff.
You can't really have the precusorsors be villians though because how the shit do you fight them?
>>341535745
YO I don't give a shit about the story anymore because you fucks butchered it to the point it's pointless to play.
What I want to know is multiplayer. Please tell me they (343) are not going to make it even more casual and will be making it more competitive. Please tell me that the skill gap will get wider again.

I believe you are both idiots, I want Alien weapons, one thing I hated about both H4 and H5 was the removal of truly alien weapons. For example in H4 it feels that for the sake of balance all wepaons were reskins.
One thing H4 and H5 did right was the improvement to the Assault Rifle, it felt useful. I wish there was amore rock paper scissors approach. Plasma beats human, and human flood forms, Human beats Forerunner (Just roll with it), Forerunner beats Perfect Flood and Covenant.
I can understand how it affects MP. Human weapons in both new halos felt just right.

If that's how it came accross, then I should clarify.
The narrative of this universe is an important part of the games. The next Halo game won't have "less story", but there's a goal set to make it less in the player's face during gameplay sequences. Cut back on the in-game diologue, we don't need animations for opening every door or pushing every button, etc.
Things like that.
Also, a return to the lengthy leven sections that are filled with nothing but combat. Not every mission needs to be exposition throught.
>One other question- how many people at 343 played CE multiplayer and really enjoyed it?
Everyone at the studio has played Halo.
Everyone at the studio loves Halo.

Hey OP why should we believe you?
>>341530616
Do you believe the NX is dead in the water with all the power Scorpio has to offer?
>>341537203
i don't want weapons to be useless, but I also don't want lesser skilled weapons to have faster kill times than higher skilled weapons, unless they exist in a certain niche. that *isn't* balance, but it's what h5's given us and people like you praise for some reason.
automatics should be useful, but they are too powerful in H5. the AR is ~okay~ and I wouldnt complain too much if it never changed, but the SR and SMG are jokes and shouldn't exist.
even if you don't agree with that argument, you have to admit that h5's super "balanced" sandbox is cluttered and redundant. we have 3 automatics and 3 precision weapons that fill the exact same purpose and have very little difference between them, 4 if you include the carbine. that's shitty design and h5 would be better if they were gutted.
>>341537631
I didn't ask you anything about split screen I wanted to know will the game be like Halo 5 a coop shooter or will Chief be alone like Halos 1-4?
Why is all the 343 armor so atrociously ugly?
>>341530616
How come 343i decided to change Master Chief's armor in Halo 4? To me it doesn't make any sense how his armor is supposed to totally change shape and style while in cryo sleep. I imagine there could have been a way to update the over visuals of the character while maintaining the Halo 3 style.
>>341537631

>>341537631
>... especially now that Jun's role in the post-bungie games has been reduced from the original plan we had.
That sucks, I would have loved a game based around Jun or have him involved with it again. He was a cool character, but oh well.
What's it like being a part of the team which manages to take the legacy of one of the most recognizable and enjoyable console FPS franchises of the past decade and corrupt it into one of the most unintelligible, garbled, uninspired messes of all time? Halo 5 was a shitfest
>>341530616
This E3 has to be the worst ever. Do you really believe e3 will die soon? If so how much years do you give it? I say1.
>>341538029
Fuck 343s shitty armor design.
How the fuck does a RTS game where you barely see the Spartans have better armor design?
Why is every Halo after 2 shitty and casual with the exception of H3 on LAN?
>>341535745
That makes some sense regarding the generational game idea. Mind me asking why you guys didn't end up having the focus on Buck for the Spartan IV's rather than Locke? Since Buck being an established, well liked character we've also played before, it seems he would have been a smarter choice to focus on. While introducing us to Locke getting to know him and like him before he takes the protagonist role. However with the story cuts I imagine that was a choice made early on because with Halo 5's story as it is now. It just makes more sense for it to be Buck, while how you're describing it with the original idea seems to make a little more sense to be Locke.
>>341537631
>Flood are in the game, but you can only play as UNSC and Covenant.

Why did you let 343 shit all over the Halo franchise?
>>341537596
The thing is, the halo games have never had truly alien feeling weapons outside of the needler.
All other covenant and brute guns are functionally just traditional human weapons with a different coat of paint, at least in the games (lore wise it's different).
>>341537910
Oh, I totally agree that the skilled player should beat the unskilled one. if you read my actual posts you'd notice that while I was praising the usefulness of auto's in 5's sandbox, I actually also wished that bursting and accurate fire with the AR was rewarded more and spraying and praying was rewarded less.
tl;dr, I want autos to be just as good as precison guns, and I also want them to be given more of a skillgap in the process.
Somebody just holding the trigger down with the AR should get their shit pushed in, but somebody doing 2-3 round bursts and can consistently get headshots with the AR that way should absolutely be on par with precision guns, and it should be advantageous over holding the trigger down in all but melee range. In 5 as is, spray and pray is better then bursting all the way out to like 10 feet, and that sucks
>you have to admit that h5's super "balanced" sandbox is cluttered and redundant. we have 3 automatics and 3 precision weapons that fill the exact same purpose and have very little difference between them, 4 if you include the carbine. that's shitty design and h5 would be better if they were gutted.
I get your point, but I think 3 and 4 suffered from this more then 5 does, honestly.
What do you think of Sony's games?

>>341536659
Having the AR be one of the most accurate weapons in the game if you just shoot one bullet was important to us. It strikes a great change in how to use the gun and how to handle bursting. There's actually plans to bring back the huge clip AR with no accuracy boost when busting from CE as a Req pack.
The suppressor was the automatic gun that I can almost guarantee you will change in the next game (again). That, or the scattershot will go back to the way it performed in 4, at least that was the compromise to keep it from being like a mini suppressor going forward.
>>341536668
The way the guns handle will probably be looked at again. Smart scope is something that's probably going away. Can't promise you sprint is going.
>>341536684
>What is more important for 343i, SP or MP? and for the case of multiplayer, which one is more important for the franchise? Competitive gameplay or Custom games.
This is going to sound like a fence sitting answer but those components are all parts of the Halo experience. We don't play favorites, at least we try not to. For example, the only reason Guardians doesn't have canpaign DLC is because Microsoft would want to charge for it.
>How long do you guys have to develop for each aspect of the game?
For Guardians we worked up until the game went gold and even then had to withhold content that wasn't quite ready such as the first warzone DLC map.
>It feels like Halo 5 released A.S.A.P
We had a set date we had to make. We had to beat competitors to market. MCC also slowed things down a bit, but the biggest distraction was the overhaul of the campaign to incorporate the squad mechanics

Needler/Plasma Pistol(Ie: Overcharge)/Beam Rifle/Fuel Rod/ Plasma grenades + Forerunner Weaponry (Halo 5) & Plasma Caster Are the only ones i've ever felt had the "alien" feel to them.

>As the name implies, they are brutal, they got sharp ends, and have blades, and spikes sticking out of them

>Covenant wepaons
>look, and feel alien
>the weapon constantly reminds you that you are handling an otherwordly weapon every time you need to reload or cool your weapon
>weapons like the needler, or the carbine feel different from human SMGs and BRs
I like the feel of human weapons from Reach to H6 however Forerunner weapons did feel like mere Reskins. Despite their visual effects they cannot hide the fact that they are too similar to human weapons. Aside vaporizing people, and bouncing, they do not feel as alien as covenant weapons did. they seem like human wepaons designed by megatron.
>>341539356
>The suppressor was the automatic gun that I can almost guarantee you will change in the next game (again).
Good, that's one of the few weapons in 5 I still felt was balanced poorly.
>Smart scope is something that's probably going away
Well, you obviously have no influence on it now, but I hope not. I'm fine with it going back to old style scope for weapons that have scopes, but I like it on autos and stuff like the hydra where it's an alt fire mode.

>Not him, of clourse, but I didn't feel they were? plenty of the newer novels and halo 4 touched on the forerunner triology stuff.
I agree with you on Halo 4, but I'm talking post H4 stuff. I could go on and on about it, but the one that sticks out to me the most is Ur/Iso idact. Halo 5 threw out everything that made the Didact in the novels such a tragic villain. Brian Reed killed the guy in Escalation before he was even developed past the five sentences he said in Halo 4 and replaced him with the entirely literal White Knight Warden Eternal, a character who wasn't mentioned or implied to exist even once in the Forerunner Saga despite the extensive characterization of the Domain.
It really sounded like 343 knew what they were doing in the background with the Forerunner Saga, and that Halo 4 was a slight misstep. Then Brian Reed comes in and makes Palmer breathe in space, and now I'm out of hope for the franchise going forward.
The trip changed half way through the thread.
You guys are being taken for a ride by a bunch of autists from the Halo General Discord.
>>341530616
whats 343 industries?
>>341539358
>How would you suggest things like the Plasma Rifle be changed to feel more 'alien' like described in the novels?
It's just not feasible. In the novels, plasma weapons actually melt through armor, flesh, and clothing, cause burns even if they fly by your head, and when they hit walls and such they splatter molten metal and rock everywhere.,
There's no way to feasibly make that work in a game with current tech, and even if you could it'd make covenant shit so much better then UNSC gear it wouldn't be fun. There's a reason why lore wise the covenant were winning.
Halo play better on a Monitor or a HDTV?

Where franchises go to die.
Why do you people fall for this shit constantly
It's not hard provide the most tangible bit of proof that they worked there but there's still nothing and you faggots are eating it up.
Why does 343 ignore MCC?
Why are they letting it's population die and why are they not patching all of it's bugs?

>She trusts me with lots of things
Kinky.
> the only reason Guardians doesn't have Campaign DLC is because Microsoft would want to charge for it.
I'd honestly pay for that.
Not sure how other people would feel I about it.
I did pay for the extra camapign map for gears of war 2, I would imagine multiplayer DLC is much more popular, and I can see Campaign content to be much more expensive to produce with Voice Acting, Motion Capture and all.
By the way, do you know what happened to Spartan OPS, and Teams Crimson, Majestic and Castle? I know it is essentially firefight, but I enjoyed having my original character be part of the Halo Universe aside War Games. I hope to see that back, I liked the "TV Show" approach to episodic content.
I wish Warzone and Spartan ops could be reconsiliated into one thing. For example, The divison has these weekly youtube episodes where a guy tells you to help the Divison by doing mundane stuff in game. Sure, you are doing same old, everyday grinding, but that extra layer of interactivity helps the game a lot.
>>341540194
You seem knowledgeable of the books.
Can you tell me how Mjolnir shielding/Elite shielding work?
I remember it being described as 'slippery' to grab a hold of. But how is the armor touched/Interacted with then?
Does the speed of projectiles approaching flare the shields or are they in a constant state of flaring up but just not visibly?
How strong are the shields really? Cause in the game they really cant take much punishment (using heroic difficulty as a base)
Are elites on average stronger/faster than Spartans in mjlonir?
Why are the damn human guns so weak against the enemies in game but are shown to be able to shred enemies in books (even with shields up)?
>>341539356

It's just the artists interpretation of the Mark VI armor. Canonically it's the same armor. Getting upset over that cosmetic alteration is like getting upset over picking up ammo with your feet by walking over it.
The HUF was altered with nanotechnology though via Cortana.

Quake fag here.
That is tantamount to saying Mario killed Arena Shooters. It is fucking stupid.
What killed Arena shooters was the abundance of samey games on PC. You got Quake, Unreal, Tribes and then off brand games all over, not to mention RTCOW. People were rightfully sick, and it had always been PC gaming territory.
For example, Starcraft did not kill RTS, people simple felt burned out.
It also happened to platforming games.
Blame the market kiddos.

YOu hate her because she knows karate now?
Hey OP thanks for doing this.
I really like the fact that you don't have to buy reqs with real money and can get them by playing the game.
I also really like that because of that, we get free updates.
Saying that, I read something about the "Hog Wild" update being the last free update for H5
So here's the question:
Since the REQs were so profitable in H5, in H6 will they probably do the same thing AND charge for new maps and updates? I'm really worried about this.
Thanks OP, hope you don't get found out.

Call me an ignorant fuck, but I thought the GC was the underdog, power wise, the PS2 seem much more capable.
Xbox was a great console, but did not have the same appeal.
>>341542102
>ut I thought the GC was the underdog, power wise
It wasn't, both it and the xbox were technically superior to the PS2 in just about every way.
>>341542330
I remember playing Timesplitters 3 on GC for the longest time and blown away at the improvements on the PS2, there's no way it was less powerful
>>341542102
the ps2 had its good multiplats, but most of the time it was the worst at running them
Sonic heroes for one example, simpsons road rage/hit and run were even toned back because they were to run the same on all 3 systems, but because the ps2 was so weak all versions were reduced in quality.
hell the dreamcast is arguably more powerful and thats saying a lot.
>>341542330
the only thing the ps2 did better was memory cards, but even then the fucking memory card scare that happened was just awful
like you can have 18 first party ps1 memory cards, but good luck having more than 1 ps2 first party card. no idea what the fuck happened there

Are you sure you were a 343 employee because most of the stuff you been telling us I kind of already knew and anyone can see where 343 is taking the story and gameplay next so can you show me proof that you were an employee?

I'm tired so I can't answer this in as much detail as I would normally like to. You should consult Halopedia (NOT Halo nation/the wikia site) for further information, or ask /r/HaloStoryif you have more questions. Plebbit, I know, but they have tons of lorefags who know their shit
>Can you tell me how Mjolnir shielding/Elite shielding work?
It's described as a field of energy (I don't recall if it's expliclty plasma or not) that behaves like a non Newtonian fluid. Spartans could adjuist the strength and "rigidity" of it along certain points of their armor, such as their boots.
The "slippery" thing you recall for example was an intial issue for S2's to get used to and I know john adjusted the shielding to be less powerful along his soles so he could walk easier.
As far as stopping bullets and such, when you shot at it, it would concentrate it's energy to that point, so by shooting at it by multiple angles, it spreads the shields out and makes them weaker. Spartans would break the shielding of covie ships via this method a lot. I recall forerunner shielding on sentinels was also said to detect stuff by velocities, so S3's in Ghost of onyx would destroy sentinels by throwing rocks, which would pass through the shields without being blocked
> But how is the armor touched/Interacted with then?
I don't recall, it may have never been explained. maybe similar to how the sentiel shields go via velocity?
>How strong are the shields really? Cause in the game they really cant take much punishment (using heroic difficulty as a base)
I'd actually say LESS powerful then in the games, at least against plasma weapons. Again, it's really depedent on how much stuff is being thrown at it from different angles.
>Are elites on average stronger/faster than Spartans in mjlonir?
This is inconsistent. Ostensibly elite majors are on par with 2's, but that doesn't seem to be the case in practice.

>>341542702
Thanks based Anon.
I remember reading that the Spartans described trying to grab someone wearing Mjolnir as feeling 'slippery' like trying to grip a bar of wet soap tightly. I wondered if that was the shielding causing that sensation of intangibility. Probably useful when going face to face with say a brute.
Spartans seem even more fragile than described. In my head canon I imagined them to be walking tanks capable of destroying entire armies but it appears that they're just hyper capable soldiers that can be killed just as easily as a run of the mill elite. Feelsbadman.

Do you burn these files to a disc and stick them into a 360 to play? Or do you have to have a modified console to run them?Curious cause I was the Reachfag from earlier and I would really enjoy me some stuff from the game before it went into actual Beta and release.
If not, that's okay. Keep doing what you do, man.
Is there a reason why sprint is forced into all of your Halo games?
Were there discussions ever about how 3 made the most money and that every game since then has done worse?
Can you confirm or deny CoD influences in Halo 4 or 5?
Will we ever get a Halo game with the simple movement options or map design of Halo 2-3?

>>341544763
>Do you burn these files to a disc and stick them into a 360 to play? Or do you have to have a modified console to run them?
Modded is required or you get a devkit (i have 2 but hey, theyre going to die soon so better get a slim devkit)
Best i have is the public betas that have a patched executable to allow it to be played without being connected to xbl
i *was* planning to get more but that deal fell through.
theres also the debug halo anniversary execuable but again you need a modded systsm or devkitor whenever 360 emulation becomes good enough

Halo 4's map design is pretty damn similar to 3's, and 5's is pretty similar to 2's.
>>341545396
Halo with sprint will NEVER EVER have good map design. Fuck off.
>>341544304

>>341545229
Damn. I never liked looking into modding my systems and I'm sure a devkit for either model of the console costs a small fortune to get.I'm downloading anyway in case, just because fuck it. Nice to have something on hand in case I want to test the waters with modding a system.
>>341545535
We are talking about the maps, not sprint, are you stupid?
>>341545710
RGH is the better route to go.
Reliability is important too so Xenons and Zephyrs are more prone to death (rrod) than a falcon/opus or a Jasper (jasper being best "arcade" 360 model)
Slims are also really really nice to have, because theyre better than jaspers but some people like the look of the original over the slim.
Slim E models are moddable, but why bother when a Slim is cooler
>>341530616
I have a fun question, do people who work on game development teams get offended by shit like YouTube likes/dislikes, reddit posts, bad word of mouth, bad reviews, stuff like that?

>>341545826
The bad maps are a result of sprint, and if you don't immediately understand why you are stupid
>>341545316
>>341546034
not correct
Tripcodes work like this
[name]#[pass/code] for normal trips
[name]##[pass/code] for secure tripcode
The only reason a trip would ever be different is due to an incorrectly entered pass/code.
For instance if i use mine and change 1 character to a capital, it will alter the tripcode to something new
platform is irrelevant. code entered is what matters

Oh my jesus, you really think intentionally stretched out maps with fucked verticality is on par with lockout, warlock, guardian, hang em high and others?
>>341546338
>>341544245I'll admit, that was some bad information I knew of on my part. Forgive me.
BUT
Check the tripcodes from both posts you linked to (or whoever linked to them.) They are both literally the same tripcodes, down to the character string.OP is the same person. Even with the changed tripcode.

Any cool stuff in the Halo 3 build?
>>341547076
i wasnt in the other threads so do understand im only now catching up to this shit.
forgive me
>>341547102
not particularly. search "prototopia" its a big archive of prototypes. theres a 360 section with some more builds.
>>341546978
I don't think 5's maps are fucked vertically, 5's maps have a fuck ton of vertacality in the same way CE and 2's maps did, if not more them them.
4's maps are fucked vertically, yeah, just like 3's.
>>341547316
You are forgiven my son.

almost done with that upload anon
wherever you are
>>341548483
interestingly no. no C&D, no Email, nothing. Disney or EA
im also surprised it got greenlit for steam.
for free
those guys are putting a lot of effort into it
>>341548678
You should make your own thread about prototypes and betas
>>341543816
Was H5 designed with so few gametypes from the start, or were modes like Assault and Infection cut for whatever reason?

i have but that autism is too niche to last long.
its hard to explain how things work and trying to keep people interested is hard.
the biggest question is "why would/should we care about an incomplete game?" and honestly thats the hardest part to explain.
its autism that has a purpose
heres the halo 4 network test build

Why was the Battle Rifle butchered so bad. I understand it was the go to for everyone for years but ever since Halo 5's release it doesn't feel the same anymore.
Also will Warzone actually feel like what was advertised in the next Halo or will it be just a long battle over the middle base and occasional bosses.

Do you have anything Kingdom Hearts-related?
How do you get a job as a graphic/ui artist ;^)

i have a channel im uploading some dr4 shit to right now. not sure what people care about so throw me shit to try and record i guess. or give me a series to look into.
hell RE7 dropped and i have a backup of the US build in case shit goes horribly wrong (like PT 3.0). So maybe RE content?

There's no way to play DR4 without owning an Xbone devkit right?
>>341530616
Why did 343 fuck up the look of halo?
>>341550160
Its the win10 build i have
installing it works but playing it is unreliable and im assuming the issue is DX12
half the people that have this build have it working, half dont.
hell my second tower isnt running it even after installing, but my main is. no idea whats causing it but DX12 is likely why
Can I have recon?
>>341530616
Thanks for taking the time and clarifying whats been/is happening to Halo. Or at the very least telling a really interesting lie.
If you're legit then good luck out there!
>>341530616
WHY ARE YOU PUTTING HALO 6 ON PC AND NOT HALO 1,2,3 MCC WITH MULTIPLAYER PLAYLISTS FOR EACH GAME SEPARATELY? RELEASE ON WINDOWS 10 STORE HOLY FUCK
>>341541504
>>Will the art direction of the series ever recover?
>In what sense?
Well, Halo 1-3 had Forerunner architecture that was monolithic and as minimal as possible, with streamlined lighting and a lot of atmosphere to how the structures stood towards the test of time.
Halo 4 onwards, everything was literally lens flares and as many light sources and edges you could possibly shove into every possible architectural plate you could find on screen. It became less like the Pyramids, which have stood the test of time, and more like you fired every single competent concept artist and hired people who design all the ricer shit at Razer.
Like seriously man, what the fuck.

I think you are generalizing. The forerunner visual style gradually changed from halo game to halo game. The forerunner visual style in 4 really isn't that much bigger of a step from reach then 3's forerunner stuff was from 2's.
Also, if you look at concept art from CE, it has a lot of the sort of tron esque glowy lines and floaty bits that weren't actually visible in game till 3/reach/4's forerunner stuff, presumably due to technical limitations.

It's like you didn't read my post.
There's obviously a difference, I just said the difference between any two adjacent games isn't any bigger then any other. Also, 3 and 4 aren't adjacent, 3 and reach and reach and 4 are.
>>341554301
No, they're very different
Also I've seen you in threads before. You always claim the CE concept art was all floaty and glowy, but then the stuff you post always looks like the rest of the 1,2,3 shit.
>>341550160
>PLEASE upload
Really interested, OP is cool dude. I feel sad for selling my Halo Mega Blok collection right now
Anyway, I have always loved Vehicles in Halo and Halo Wars has some of my favorites. But I need to ask if there were Any vehicles ideas scrapped or older vehicles were to make an appearance (Stuff from Halo Wars like the Vulture Gunship or Covenant Locust making a cameo. Or the Falcon/SkyHog, I loved that thing in Reach)

>It all fits in with Bear's lore technically speaking, but we were never going to meld the games super-specifically around a book that came out. Bungie didn't either.
1) I was talking thematically. You can't seriously look at Halo 5's story and think that it's stemming from the concepts laid in Bear's work when the word "Didact" is mentioned in the game only one single time.
2) Bungie didn't do it because MS was the one who forced the Halo EU with Nylund, and because most of the novels were side stories that weren't marketed as set ups. 343 started off by saying that they considered the "EU" to be the same level of canon as the actual games, and that's what made the lore community originally believe in them (especially after the Reach debacle- canon breaking or not). There were so many times Chris Schlerf discussed his lore, and even a giant podcast that they did together discussing Silentium and its direct ties to the future of Halo. Hell, IIRC Greg Bear was literally brought on to supervise the Didact Cryptum opening cutscene from Halo 4; either that or they modeled it around his work and brought him on to evaluate later.
