I'm not sure if that, ghost busters or Duck hunt were the best game types.
People on here seem to love Fat Kid though
>>332553067
It'snot that great, and is just a noobified version of 2. The only people that liked it were the fags that played zombies all day and people who never played the earlier games.

I don't think I've ever seen a bigger downfall of a studio than Bungie.
Their games, their attitude, their website, all went straight down the shitter, from being some of the best in the industry.

He's not.

>>332558308

Shitty "do everything weapon."
AR Starts are fun, cause it actually encourages you to pick up another weapon or do the "Charge at each other firing AR bullets until your next to each other, then whoever melees first wins"

This was the point of no return for me.
Me and my friends used to spend hours chatting shit and trying to get out of bounds in campaign and custom games.
Then Bungie completely killed it. It was a sign that they were moving away from the ''here's a game, have fun with it'' philosophy to ''Here's how we want you to have fun with this game''.
>>332557598
Vetoing was so much better than voting for maps, let the super underplayed games and maps get some love.
Territories was pretty fun and that was the only way I would ever play it.
>>332556850
That hits me where I live
If you wore anything other than Security and Mark 5 you were a homo, I don't make the rules but that's just how it is.
>>332560435
I honestly loved Halo Reach a lot. The DMR was fun to use, armor customization was amazing even with that shitty credits system, campaign was aight, Forge World and it's custom game maps were GOAT
>playing custom games infection with a full lobby on sandtrap
>you and your buddy are the last survivors

The best Halo 3 custom gametype was obviouslyPurple Monsters.

>Because Forge World was already big enough.
Being a teeny bit bigger doesn't hurt.
And if people are worried about players getting outside the map just add kill barriers to the map where it's needed, not have them permanently set up and closing off options to map makers.
>>332556850
What scares me is that I don't think I'll ever have that much fun ever again.

A bunch of humans were in a bunker with infinite ammo needlers, and they had to keep pushing back the super slow but invincible purple zombies that were slowly coming to get them.
As time started running out, the zombies got more and more cover and bubble shields started spawning.
Every time I played it with a group of friends the humans never won. I remember we'd be losing our shit whenever the humans would be about to win and one of the zombies managed to sneak through and fuck us up.

I'll always remember how I got overkill. It was the day before Halo: Reach came out, and everyone was scrambling to finish up achievements. I wound up in a game on Snowbound where everyone was wanting to do achievements, except for one guy who just wanted deathmatch. We were taking turns shooting each other for Two for One, the Spartan laser achievement. For some reason, 3 guys line up for me instead of just 2. As I'm charging up, the party pooper, who we were all ganging up on, respawns near us and throws a grenade to steal kills/misalign the other players. Somehow I managed to get the shot off, unlocked two for one, then, even with my shield drained from the grenade, turned and blasted his stupid face with the Splaser for the overkill. It was glorious.

Yeah.
As autistic as this sounds, we held a final send off to them (and Halo 3) around a year ago before we deleted our save data.
We had 14 players and 2 guests (who weren't playing) and we played all the gametypes they loved one final time.
We even did a 14 gun salute for them in front of the guest accounts.
Afterwords, we all went our separate ways.
Someday, we will meet again, on the big Halo up in the sky

MCC community is practically nonexistent, which really is a shame. I was really looking forward to reliving it again, but of course the launch was terrible and the game is still kind of buggy and only a few of myfriendshave an xbone. Even though Halo 5's Forge is pretty slick, the game is just missing so many gametypes and features, that it's just not the same; not only that, but the halo community is much smaller now. The glory days of Halo 3 andReachcustom games are over.
Ultimately what I think killed the halo 5 custom game/Forge fanbase was a lack of Forge at launch, as well as a file share and file browser.

Why couldn't we have lived in the world where Chief's story ended at 3 like it was supposed to, and bungie made their next project unraped by Activision. Fuck.
I used to feel so cool because I was the best H3 player out of my group of friends.
I was in a shitty clan full of teenagers and I remember the way they initiated new members in was they had to play a 1v1 against me and get half as many kills as I did to make it in.
Think they moved on to one of the Cod's (Black Ops I think?) then died shortly after.
>>332560435
There was so much fun glitching out of bounds you could do in 1 and 2. I miss warthog jumping and the Metropolis banshee in second half glitch.

They didn't partner up themselves until about 10 deaths apiece when they realized we weren't going to kill each other, but by then we had too much momentum to be stopped.

Came here after the old version was canned in favour of that social network shit.

The DLC's are the first to die in any online game. I have the ODST multiplayer disc and have never seen a DLC map in matchmaking, even the fucking free ones.

Yeah but it has sprint and shitty halo 4 armor

Halo 3 on MCC
Pic related, this guy went through using 2 TV's and remade all of the maps from Halo 3 into the MCC. They are exactly identical.
Looks like he's forging right now. Add him to your friends list and join him next time he's hosting customs. He's a great guy.

That pilot helmet was pretty cool. I'd use that on my Spartan.

Halo 3 didn't have any of those to begin with.
Anyone else get all 1750 gamerscore?
My last Halo 3 achievement was Two for One; my lone wolf rank went down 6 levels me trying to get the achievement whenever Snowbound or High Ground were the maps

Does anyone else here wanna go back?
The OG Halo series was fucking amazing and I can't believe what 343 has done to it.
Old-school Bungie knew what they were doing. They focused on making a fun future war game, with all the cooler sci-fi stuff and SPARTAN lore in the books, so the casuals didn't need to care about the cool shit and the fans could read that shit to their own content. They put Forerunners in as cool, mysterious background forces, not the main fucking bad guys. They made multiplayer games where over a million people played every day for half a decade, while pretty much every non-COD shooter today can't even keep 50k people past it's first month (Including 343 Halo.) Sure, Halo 5 is an okay shooter, but Halo games had a unique style of gameplay, that wasn't about going fast all day every day. The maps were extremely freeform, with almost no invisible walls or boundaries that didn't make sense within the map itself. Getting mined on Sandtrap was fucking amazing compared to being yelled at to "GET BACK TO THE MAP IN 10." And Bungie was a part of the community, not like most companies pretending to care, they were intimately involved with the content creators and strived to help them, and ACTUALLY launched Machinimas as a form of entertainment.
The original Halo Series is the Star Wars of the 2000s, because it was an amazing spark that launched an amazing franchise that turned to shit when they decided to milk that cow for all it's fucking worth. Good job on killing it's soul, 343.
What was /v/'s favourite Halo 3 machinima?
>>332569168
This was well stated.
>>332568885
Yeah. All the ODST achievements, too.
>>332569234

>>332569234
Hard to go wrong with classic RvB, but I also liked Matchmaking and Pregame Lobby.
DigitalPheer had good stuff too but I forget his stuff besides Arby and the Chief.
>>332553768
I remember when there were threads discussing the definition of porch monkeys. I had no idea what they were talking back in the day since I was a kid, but when I remembered the /flood/ forums I first remembered porch monkeys and figured it out.
>>332569234
Pregame lobby
>>332567449
Playing Team Slayer with 2 of my friends splitscreen. Kicking ass and 3 of the other team leaves the game. 4 v 1 is so boring that the 3 of us drive mongooes and keep ramming into the 4th guy that was taking it seriously. Pic related
fuckign sn0wb0und
veto this shit fagots
>>332569234
Bungie Police literally never fails to make me smile
See, this is why Original Halo will NEVER be topped in community and happiness.
>>332569168
That's glorious anon, I feel the same way.
Especially about minefields, not just in halo but in general, I remember CoD classic maps had them, even a few day of defeat maps too, even if it's a small touch it's something.
My favorite matchmaking memories were when the two teams would stop trying to win and would just mess around.
That glitch where the Banshee blows up and it looks like you're surfing happened and everyone just pushed the guy around and rode him for the rest of the game.
Another time where everyone on my team quit but the other guys just messed around with me and we jousted on Mongeese. Good stuff.
Why did nobody care about ODST?
>>332569901
Nobody cares about Halo campaigns.Firefight was great. Reach's a shit
>>332569901
This image feels so weird being flipped that way.
>>332569234
Arby 'n' The Chief pre-seriousness, the Halo 3 era of RvB, and there was an old one about Zombies.
>>332569901
no standalone multiplayer and was like 40 bucks when it came out
>>332555741
the overkill one was hard to get at first and I was the only one in my group of online halo friends that got it legit and as you can see, Im still proud of that
at first, halo FFA was only 5 players with one gametype (AR starts). so not only did every player have to be in the same part of the map at the same time, but you had to kill them all
after the cucks bitched and bitched, bungie finally increase it from 5 to 6, then 6 to 7, and now 7 to 8. though I think they reduced it later on, idk.
they also added sword gametypes and rocket ones as well.
its fucking easy to get the overkill achievement in FFA. just get the hang of the game again and then go into FFA and you should have it no time
>>332570373
>>332569901
Because there was no Chief.
It was a good game but it didn't have Master Chief being awesome in it. People don't care about Halo without Master Chief being a badass super soldier who saves the galaxy from the increasingly less threatening Covenant and the much more awesome Flood while being fucking bros with the Arbiter and being a two-man army just destroying shit, all while Cortana is there to help Chief out with the boring computer shit.
>>332570350
I'm pretty sure it was a full $60, which they tried to justify it since it had the full halo 3 multiplayer with all the DLC maps.
>>332569901
I love it. That fucking OST is great. Problem is the game is short, the Rookie sections are actually kind of boring post first play through, and it's a little linear.
>>332569901
Because it was made to be an expansion pack and then MS sold it for 60 dollars
>>332569901
Because it was weak shallow garbage.
It might have actually been interesting if they changed up gameplay to really reflect ODST soldiers trying to engage Covenant but instead it was just Halo 3 with no shields.
>>332570552
This. ODST and Reach dropped that epic galaxy spanning feel of the first three games. Trying to save a city or planet didn't amount to saving the entire galaxy.
>>332558060
You can get a mod for it which replaces the halo 4 armors with Halo 3 armors, I believe some people are working on getting Halo 3 weapons as well.
>>332570817
Reach was still cool, especially New Alexandria.
>>332570934
I like Reach, but maybe that's just because I really like war movies. Because Reach is just a massive war movie.
>tfw looking at screenshots I took nearly 10 years ago on halo 3
fuck man...
shit...
>>332570984
Favorite mission? I'm quite fond of Long Night of Solace.
>>332570934
I still play Reach campaign to this day, but I learned a bunch of its speedrunning techniques because I just want to see my sweet custom armor in the cutscenes.
>>332571003
>massive war
This burned me not because it was a massive war but because it didn't seem like one. I was expecting the Tip of the Spear cutscene to be a mission but then I find out I'm taking out AA guns while everyone else is fighting three scarabs, THREE FUCKING SCARABS, and me I'm stuck on a cliff side taking out AA guns.>:(
>>332571065
I still have all of my original Halo 3 screenshots
>Bungie sell their souls to Microsoft to keep making Halo
>"We're fucking sick of making Halo, we're getting the fuck out of here!"
>Join Activision to pump out yearly Destiny releases
What the fuck is wrong with them?
>>332571127
Exodus was awesome, the atmosphere and feel of it. The civies were lame but they helped contribute to the tone of the level.
I think I liked it so much because there were no Spartan buddies, invincible allies in Halo are always boring. Exodus was you and the marines and ODSTs desperately trying to save the city and it was really cool.
>>332570662
The Rookie sections are like that on purpose, he's used as a transition to the other characters.
ODST had a pretty neat method of storytelling that set it apart from the other games.
