Some of these achievement percentages in MCC are shockingly low. Only 6% have beaten Reach on at least normal.
Well Reach released on MCC a good 4+ years after the game released.

I imagine only a small portion will have even downloaded Reach on Xbox, let alone bothered to go through the full campaign.

I'm a massive Halo fan and I haven't completed it.

Well that depends:
  1. Pistol vs BR starts?
  2. Radar vs no radar?
  3. Sprint vs no sprint?
  4. Is your favorite multiplayer Halo 3?
  5. Name the best thing added to Halo 4, and why it was the Sticky Detonator.
  6. What's one of your favorite nilla creations?
  7. Do you play SWAT?

1. BR because it's the best weapon in any game ever.
2. No radar
3. No sprint
4. Yes. The art style they used still looks good to this day. Meanwhile, Halo 1/2/Reach look like ass.
5. I like how the Halo 4 BR looks (not how it plays, but the visual design)
6. AFAIK he's never had a creation added to an MLG/HC playlist so N/A.
7. No cause SWAT is baby's first 50

I'm gunna expand question 5 a bit to be any addition from 343.

My answer to that is Strongholds - genuinely my favourite Halo game mode.

  • Halo CE: Sidewinder 8v8 2Flag
  • Halo 2: Lockout 2v2 Slayer
  • Halo 3: The Pit 4v4 2Flag
  • Halo Reach: Powerhouse 4v4 Stockpile
  • Halo 4: Haven FFA Regicide
  • Halo 5: Guardians: Fathom 4V4 CTF
If you could only pick 1 of those, which would you pick?
  • Halo CE: Sidewinder 8v8 2Flag

The sticky detonator is a shitty grenade launcher
Fight me
Yep. In light of what it feels like a replacement for, it's a downgrade.
Halo Grenade Launcher is legitimately one of the most enjoyable GL's in gaming, so that's not fair for its little brother, the Sticky Detonator.

It was a cute, compact little weapon that was fun for traps. The radar screen was a neat tool, rather than just the 💀/X on the GL.

These forge maps...

Who do I blame for this? NOKYARD or nillapuddin

Unequivocally you never ever blame nokyard. I assure you he has always put in 387% effort on trying to help put the best foot forward.

Unfortunately there are so many obstacles from desire to reality. I really really hope the user content implementation sees a exponential upgrade.

As for me, I out out 10 matchmaking quality maps in Reach and with each successive Halo title I cut 2 off that number lol. Maybe I can return to form too

Is there an issue where FOV doesn't remain when playing on 120 fps? Recently started happening to me. Shows 120 FOV greyed out while playing on 120 fps, but it's not actually 120 FOV.

Do you mean on Xbox SX? I seem to recall FOV adjustment for the Xbox is only available for 60Hz, but disabled 120Hz.
Once you set it to 120 FOV on 60Hz it'll stay 120 FOV when switching to 120Hz, up until recently where it resets to default even though it still displays 120 FOV in settings but greyed out.

Weird issue.

So if someone is griefing you in CE by constantly taking down your shields and health and you killed them once you get kicked from the game. lol

Played Halo 4's campaign for the first time in years and forgot about how much of a slog it is. 343 tries to make the game cinematic through, well, cinematics, while Bungie had those moments emerge through gameplay. Overall, I'd call it the second worst Halo campaign.

um, I thought this was supposed to be fixed on PC. I tried playing Reach, and nothing I do prevents it from from running at 15 FPS.

I have a 2060, so this really shouldn't be an issue.

I had my first game of cheaters. They were new accounts and one was called cheat lite. It was in Griefball (lol). One guy was pretty much invincible, but they had some type of weird lag switch. After I died the first time, everything was extremely laggy; like my FPS went to complete shit, it was pretty much unplayable. However, when you died it went away and came back when you respawned.
