Halo |OT2| Master Chief for Smash
- Thread starter FUNKNOWN iXi
- Start date
I never want to see Zanzibar, Last Resort, or Stonetown in 4v4 slayer again. So happy they dropped it for forge maps in H2A.
Watching now.
What's the deal with Microsoft snubbing Marty? The audio/composer people on Halo CE/2 Anniversary wanted Marty to consult but were told they can't talk to him at all about the projects.
What is going on with my MCC for PC.
Yesterday, I was banned for a single minute. Now when I matchmake I am stuck just looking for players (Halo 2, 8v8). Am i shadowbanned? What is going on.
Edit: So Halo Reach works... But i wanted to play Halo 2. I cant seem to find a single Halo 2 game

I just hope the PC version of Infinite doesn't have as much aim assist for controllers. I really feel as if the massive aim assist for controllers will continue to make it so Halo will never be able to take off on PC.
It still needs to be viable on console. Apex for instance has a lot of top PC players playing on controllers. But generally the way it seems to go with these games is average controller player will be better than average PC player. But a good PC player will be better than a good controller player.
This is true for a lot of games, yes, but imo it isn't true for Halo with the exception of the sniper. Snipers are way better for PC players I think but BRs and stuff just completely dominate on controller. Like Summit is a decent mouse user and he gets dicked by controller players a lot of the time.
Hardly any of my BTB games are H2. The vast majority are Reach followed by H2A then H2 and CE last. It's probably the algorithm combined with what players que up for.
I'm already half way right. :)
Don't forget Bungie fired him, maybe he is just difficult to work with dredges up drama.
Bungie wrongly dismissed him and he won the legal case against them, which is why he got his stock and money back.
Watch the video. On the question about Bungie splitting up with Activision, he touches on why he was fired. It was for being right all along about Activision. Bungie's board of directors (which he was part of) turned their backs on the principles and terms they'd agree on when dealing with Activision. When he was outvoted, they ousted him.
Thanks for the heads up. This is now the rarest Steam achievement I have.
I mean, that doesn't mean he wasn't difficult to work with. Being wrongly fire and right about Activision doesn't make you less of a dick.
Yeah. The procedures around his termination were wrong, which is why he got the money, but that doesn't have much to do with their core motivation.
Seems weird to me that it took them over 15 years to figure out that he was difficult to work with. I don't think the reason he was fired is as simple as that.
Someone should interview other former Bungie senior ppl like Harold Ryan to find out more about what happened.
I don't think he was fired because he was difficult to work with. I do believe it's likely there are people at Microsoft who don't want to work with him, hence why they didn't involve him in the music for later games.
Sure. I can understand that there might be ppl at Microsoft who don't want to work with Marty. But those ppl telling the composers and audio guys (who Marty knows well and is friends with) that they can't even contact him to get the information they need to remaster the music seems a little extreme.
Seventh Column Symbol on H3's Valhalla as well, but not available till next year on PC.
For all we know if they reached out something in a contract would trigger and they'd have to pay him. Could be as simple as that.
The quitting in MCC is so bad, I really never seen a game this bad before. BTB is the worst, bigger maps with less players and higher scores.
If the penalty is too lenient, players don't care. If it's too strict then they simply just go play something else.
So instead of focusing on the quitters they should reward players that stay. Like you get an XP boost streak for not quitting or you get a XP. Like every ten games you don't quit the bonus it gets higher or something.

Wrong.
The penalty is too severe. I see far more AFKing than quitting. Because quitting knocks you out of commission loner than AFKing
The issue is there is no vote to quit. It is not fun to just get steamrolled by a pre-made BTB team that knows how to pay. If you can vote to forfeit you get the W and move on instead of trying to hunt down everyone for 15 minutes.
It's not severe at all:
Current ban ladder for MCC
Currently, bans are calculated and based off your actions within in the last 3 hours.
The current system of being able to quit without a penalty when half your team leaves is fine, however, that only really works for 4v4. In 8v8 you have to wait for at least four of your teammates to quit. AFK would be easy to solve, just have it kick and ban players if they aren't active within a certain period of time. As for botting, just have a report function. Adding a vote function would also be good.

- First quit: 1 minute ban

- Additional quits: 10 minute ban

I am just very opposed to a time ban on quitting when we still have lame duck rounds and no way to forfeit. I also don't know if that is accurate (unless they changed it) because last time I quit it was like auto 10 minutes.
But, you can potentially borrow Halo 3's EXP system.
A win is a point. A loss is nothing. I believe ties were a point.
A quit is a negative point.
I just try to play in a party of 4 at all times. If someone drops, at least it's on the other team.
I'm not a habitual quitter, but I quit my fair share of games, I literally just quit out of a game yesterday. I've never been ban for more than a minute.
i used to have so much halo honor - i was the guy that would never quit a match. 1v4? bring it. no longer though.
weird issue in h5 i'm having - off spawn (and only seemingly affecting off spawn) my spartan walks in slow motion for second or two. probably a dying controller issue, i guess i should try to change to outer deadzone to see if that fixes it?
I won't stick around for a 1v4, lol. I don't want to waste players' time. I'll stick around if it's close and there is a good chance we can win. However, for the most part I leave the second it's safe to quit without penalty.
i'll still stick it out if i feel i can make it interesting by trading out kills. i just wont hide in a corner or take a whalloping till the match ends like i used to
You earned it.
Touching any vehicle that is in motion, even in the slightest, will kill you if you are not personally riding on it.
I'm pretty sure dragging out matches counts as negative toward your Halo honor. Beware!
I never quit matches. Even if I'm the last person, I enjoy making a game out of hiding, picking stragglers off, and pushing the game to the time limit.
not the best clip probbaly, but those familiar with h5's movement speed should pick this up. wtf? as soon as i stop briefly and resume i got full movement speed, but prior to that it was slooooooow. related/unrelated? i've also had a lot more issues lately with sprinting immediately off spawn. i dunno.
Just finished Sacred Icon mission in Halo 2. This is what I hated in Halo 1. Boring repetitive level. Hopefully, this wont drag for too long like Halo 1 did towards the end.
