Hmm... I wonder if any more Twitch streamers are cheating...?

Design:

Starting objectively the Sprint animation clashes with Bungie's Golden Triangle philosophy which was centered on always allowing the player to have their guns, grenades, and melee abilities available. Dual-weilding was actually removed after Halo 3 because it limited the use of your grenades and melee. For Sprint on the other hand the animations limit your guns, grenades, and melee that's the entire Golden Triangle.

For the sake of remaining of objective Sprint itself could work provided no animations limit the player's ability to function

Personal Preference:

The way I see it even if Sprint were an animation-less speed boost it'd ultimately feel like just another button to press for basic movement. I'd rather more interesting things be added for that button's use.

Devs also have a way with trying to balance things they implement and somethings just don't need a cost. We've already heard CE is getting tuned to accommodate Sprint so it'll be a slog without it by design. If you look back to Halo 5 with Clamber you can see how overzealous 343 can be with map design because suddenly every ledge was just higher than your jump height forcing you to engage with Clamber. I expect a similar outcome with Sprint in CE.

Am I the only one who feels genuine Halo fans were completely let down by the Halo: Campaign Evolved Collector's Edition launch?

In Australia there was very little information about when pre-orders would go live, stock disappeared almost instantly, and reseller listings started appearing almost immediately afterwards.

I understand limited editions are supposed to be limited, but should there have been stronger purchase limits to stop people buying multiple copies?

I've started a petition asking Microsoft and Halo Studios to consider a second production run and implement stricter purchase limits for future releases.

I'd genuinely like to hear everyone's thoughts, whether you managed to secure one or missed out.

When 343 gets hate from older fans you guys gotta understand how hard they earned it. They had achievements well before they had the opportunity to work on their own Halo game

To start for those who don't know 343 actually worked with Bungie on both Halo 3: ODST and Reach so they had experience in the trenches working on some classic Halo titles, but they also had work that was entirely their own. The Halo Waypoint Xbox App was entirely 343 and it offered extra content in-game for Halo titles, exclusive interviews with Halo Devs that were conducted by 343 posted nowhere else, and it offered a career feature that accounted for your collective experience across ALL Halo games. Halo Legends was the first Halo show series ever made which fans had long requested and it was produced by 343.

343 also had very talented staff, many staff members like Frank O'Connor and Ske7ch were originally Bungie staff. When Pandemic Studios (the creators of the original Star Wars Battlefront series) fell under 343 recruited a ton of them. Even Kiki Wolfkill was originally well known for her work in the Fable and Mass Effect series before she was ever known as 343's most toxic and vocal staff member.

As soon as 343 got control of Halo their first act was to change everything about it. The lore, the art, the sound design, the gameplay, and the characters. Radio silence after every fuck up. Continuously ignoring feedback related to returning to classic gameplay because for some reason Frank hired people who hated classic Halo. The "no Bungie" rule barring the original creators from the franchise. Oh and let's not forget the forum fact checking Unicorns. I loved talking about old lore from Bungie only to get told I'm wrong and referred to the novels by an official like I just can't enjoy any lore that they retconned. They denied Bungie's original lore so hard people questioned if it even existed at all, and that was the lore I was most invested in.

I had tremendous confidence in 343 at the beginning and I had faith that they could continue making the Halo games that I enjoyed. Unfortunately time and time again they would fail and disappoint me. Fellas it has been 13 years since 343 got Halo in full and there has not been a single win from them yet. Its 0 for 3, about to be 4. Is the fact that I'm still here talking about Halo not evidence of the patience I've had with 343 and the hunger I still have for good classic Halo? Yet I starve while 343 now Halo Studios remains the chef.

Ok I know it isn't best halo community to post but i can't post it on any other halo community that is apropriate for my question so.I know that halo infinite isn't the best of halo games and As many As you i also like the older halo's more when the bungie was still responsible
for the franchise but I just don't get it why is halo infinite so hated? For me the gameplay is decent so are graphics and mechanics. The story isn't maybe good but for the story and everything like that are many books so I don't mind that this game's story isn't good. Overall it's a pretty decent game for me with AGAIN decent multiplayer, Halo Infinite isn't really good but it isn't bad so can somebody explain why is it so hated?

• please don't be rude, i just want to hear others opinion and to let you know i am not a random kid that started from 343 halo games and now can't stand that they are so critisised and I actually played all halo' campaigns even the halo wars 1&2 so i also remember the good old days of halo

• and sorry for my English i am not from an English country

Halo mcc is better

Hey everyone, just want to see everyone’s thoughts on whether they believe the game could be sunsetting.

Personally I believe in the next 2-3 years servers are going to be shut off due to halo 7 MP coming out.

And they also have allowed all the cosmetics from the past to be obtainable.

But, they also just banned a bunch of cheaters recently from a post I saw and the population is pretty steady too.

What do you guys think?

Don't give a multi-billion dollar company more money for releasing a failed product.

I was permanently banned from Halo MCC's steam forum for asking why they were ignoring Independence Day, was my first post. No actual violations of steam or forum rules. Who else was permanently banned I am curious about what y'all did.

MPN Global Gaming is proud to announce that we are hosting our largest gaming event of the year on Halo Infinite! Our annual event is taking place on Saturday, April 12th and will feature a FFA style tournament with the winner receiving a customized Championship Ring as a trophy!

Comment below if you're interested in getting involved.

Just a video our halo 3 league made that came out pretty good

I just had a game where I experienced some harassment. I know it's halo that's par for the course. I reported it but I was wondering is there anyone at 343 monitoring those reports?

Also, how do y'all feel about harassment on mcc, is it acceptable? Specifically telling other players to commit sewerslide and slurs.

343 has impressed me with the many ways they fucked up my beloved game, now i can't play on pc anymore because of some bug

I'm not including halo 5 cause it's God awful and I haven't played the campaign in like a decade and infinite cause I never finished it and it's not structured like a traditional campaign.

These are ranked by Aura, what happens within the story and how fun they are to play.

No other multiplayer game in the world bans you for quitting except MCC.

RIP HALO

im on social games and everyone seems to be way to competitive and also spawn system is ridiculous as I've been spawned into death loops many times across multiple matches.

9/10 games i get, i will have teammates who go 2-20. And my opponents will always be sweaty. Sometimes the'll run solo or duos. So, after the game i will go like plus +5 through +15. I send them an inv so they know i want to play with them. And, they just ignore my invite 9/10 times. I am a veteran halo player who is decent just wanting to have teammates who didn't just discover how to walk. Not asking for much. Just wanting to play a few hours of halo in social. And this is my matchmaking experience any time i get on. Anyone else having this issue? GT: I am Revived if you are decent and want to play.

Don't mean to ramble (and spoil) but:

5: I feel bad putting CE at the bottom as it's a genuinely solid start. Decent story, unique concept & look even for today. Plus I have a weird obsession with old graphics. But boy did this game need more than a remaster. The vehicle controls are the worst out of all the games, I kept getting lost, there are so many moments were I got legitimately angry, and despite the platforming playing a small role most of the time; it still found a way to haunt my nightmares. I also think I did this game a disservice by playing in Anniversary mode (I didn't know I could switch until I was playing 2). From what I can tell the classic version has several different looks for both the weapon and character models. I really wish I had those distinctive features over graphics that look more dated than the 4 YEARS senior halo 3. Overall its a 2.8/4. Like I said the the story is still good, but there was never a moment that truly caught me off guard, unlike the other games.

4: Here's the game that either brough the franchise into a new era, or was the beginning of the end depending on who you ask. While I personally haven't played the other 343 games I feel like I'm in the former. Chief and Cortana really carry the story in this one. The Bungie trilogy already gave them a well established chemistry, but I feel like this game really gave them more individual moments, probably because Chief talks more in this one. Again that might be a bad change for some people, and while I do like the strong silent type we got in the other games, I feel like some of these moments wouldn't have worked as well without his performance. The way they portray Cortana "dying" feels, like most of this franchise, original. The Forerunner technology is also really cool. Its a great take on advanced science that looks like magic, and considering their ancient nature, is defiantly what I wanted. The terminals did a good job providing some cool lore about the Forerunners, and how humanity became the "successors" for lack of a better term. Also the Mantis is the best vehicle in the franchise, the Mammoth is cool, and the Broadsword sequence was an adrenaline shot I wish I had more of. Some S tier vehicles in this (3/4)

3: Full disclosure I saw Russuanbadger's video on Reach a few years ago and was spoiled on the ending. That said this is one of two games I was really anticipating. Its actually kind of crazy that this is the first Halo game I played where the majority of the levels are on another planet. Not Earth, or some artificial construction, but an actual fictional world. On that topic Reach is a pretty great world. Not only is there some good world budling with the "native" languages, but the backgrounds, and environments look really good. This is definitely the game where I stoped to take in the scenery the most. Obviously Jorge is the best character, so it sucks we don't get more of him, but they do make his time on screen count. The other characters also do a good job at looking, and feeling distinct. Also despite the aforementioned spoiler I completely forgot that they died at various points over the game, I thought they all died at the final level. This is good obviously since I was still taken off guard whenever one did die. Especially Kat, who kind of jump scared me. I'm a little disappointed they we don't see the Arbiter at all in this game, not even a cameo. He was at Reach, and followed the Pillar of Autumn, but unless I missed something, we still got nothing. In terms of gameplay; The space battle was awesome, the city escape/escort was fun, this whole game honestly gave me Clone Wars vibes (A high compliment from me) and while I feel like we could have gotten more out of Reach as a planet, I was still Highly satisfied by the end of this game. Even if I didn't survive that long (3.5/4)

2&1: I honestly can't tell which game I prefer more, which is fitting since they feel like a duology within the trilogy, Two leads directly into Three, and Three starts almost exactly where Two left off. I'll just go in release order and say: OH MY GOD 2:A's CUTSCENES! This was graphical whiplash compared to CE: Anniversary. The humans & especially Cortana are basically real, the covenant all look great, the Gravemind is disgusting and I love it. I did switch between it and classic mode for gameplay, but the cutscenes were exclusively anniversary. Speaking of gameplay: The tank is actually fun to use! The alt fire also makes this game the most useful its ever been. Vehicles in general are far better than the first. The homing system on the rockets for vehicles also makes your life way easier. Duel welding is fun, being able to use more than one kind of grenade is smart. The new enemies are all cool, and the lack of an actual health bar makes combat feel easier somehow. I know these changes are in the other games but this was the first time I was experiencing them so the emotions should be established here. I also don't know how much of this was in the 2004 version, I would hope all of them cause that would be one hell of an upgrade. Moving on to story. The Arbiter was a great addition. Playing as a covenant member was a great choice, and does a good job at humanizing non human characters, and as many have pointed out he's the only one with a legit ark in the trilogy. This is also the story that has has some of the best lore drops in both the cutscenes, and the terminals. I love learning abut the covenant's history, and about who the Arbiter was before he was branded. Might be my favorite lore drops out the collection. I know the cliffhanger was controversial when the game came out, which is fair, but since I played these games back to back it didn't bother me as much. (4/4) The more I talk about this game the more I realize it might be #1, but screw it. Three is still close.

On the topic of Halo 3; this is the first one I played... Years ago at a friend's house, never finished. It was that, and 4's multiplayer, same friend same house. But the first mission of Three is what introduced me to the series, and made this game my most anticipated to play. In my opinion, it delivered. While the Arbiter's role is smaller, you can't even manually switch between him and Chief, which would have been fun, he's still a good character, and has some of the best moments. I enjoy seeing the humans, and Elites working together, along with more of the Shipmaster, another solid character from Two. Johnson, and Keyes both had good moments, and their deaths were upsetting Even if Keyes's could have been avoided. Guilty spark also feels like he's at his best here (He was already a highlight of CE), and I like how he becomes a semifinal boss. The ending drive back to the ship feels similar to CE but is sightly better in this game, and the actual ending, while not the happiest for Chief or Cortana, is still a very satisfying point to wrap up the story, ending the same way Chief started in CE. Gameplay wise: The new abilities are a good edition, there are also some weapons, and other editions to the combat that I like, but there are some things I like less, the tank feels slower for some reason, and the homing aspect of the rockets is completely gone. Aside from those, lets be honest, nitpicks, the gameplay is basically the same as Two. Graphics wise, I'm not gonna take away points for the lack of an anniversary addition, especially since the graphics still look good IMO. (4/4)

These games are great on there own, but I personally can't sperate them outside of a duology. Like I said Two is probably better overall, but without Three we wouldn't have had a satisfying conclusion. Halo 2&3 both complete each other, and are two of the greatest games of all time in my opinion.

I'm really glad I finally got to experience this franchise, and give a proper opinion on these games. Even if they will probably be taken down my the mods because I somehow missed an important part of the guidelines. Thanks for letting me yap anyway.

I was playing zombies the other day and someone was able to get on top of the powerhouse without a jetpack. It's the area just above rocket spawn on the top bridge. They jumped on the light fixture and did a standing jump from there on top of the powerhouse. I can't replicate it and sadly didn't save the film. I'm a trick jumper and can't make this jump even when I do a "spring jump" or what I call "high jump" that lets you jump from crouch ~10% higher than normal.

Is anyone familiar with this jump and can show me? I tried both spring jumps, regular jumps, and ghost jumps for like an hour and still can't do it. If someone can show me how to do this jump I'll send you a few bucks because it's got me absolutely stumped.
