I'm back lol.
Rip funky funkerton, still doing hard time.
Yeah and there's a crawler on the left so I guess I'm hoping it's more of just an 'acknowledgment'
I love love that art though, it's a fantastic depection of classic chief.

Also a YouTuber I watched before played Halo CE for the first time ever, I found it enjoyable and interesting to see a brand new perspective on a game we ofcourse are all hyper familiar with
(It's a full playthrough edited compilation, 45~ minutes)
Halo is special yall Infinite is gunna be really good

It looks like everything on the left is old stuff and the stuff on the right is new so I suspect it's teasing prometheans in Infinite.
The grunts on the left are Infinite grunts and the promethean on the right is the Halo 5 soldier design, so I wouldn't look too deeply into the art other than 343i wanting to acknowledge their contribution to Halo's enemy variety.
Why is Halo 2A MP so fucking dark? Like, look at this shit:
Is my game bugged or something? This looks so damn bad.

Been like that since launch. Happens mostly on forge maps and seems to get better with time played in the match.Why is Halo 2A MP so fucking dark? Like, look at this shit:

I felt like my game was bugging out hardcore. I have a good system but holy shit!
I dunno.
It's missing the floating sections those soldiers usually have.
Anyways, I fully expect Infinite to have prometheans so I don't think it'd be much of a tease.
The silhouette matches the toy pretty perfectly, but yes it doesn't show the floaty bits.
And I'm a bit more inclined to think they won't be in Infinite for launch. The Banished are getting a pretty fleshed out sandbox which seems to be inheriting ideas from Promethean weapons (Boltshot -> Mangler, H5 Incineration Cannon -> Ravager, Splinter Turret -> Scrap Cannon) and there has been zero marketing as of yet for anything Promethean, which is odd for a fanction that would not be saved as a plot twist/surprise.
So much of 343i's work on Infinite seems to be laser-focused on getting the basics right and fleshing them out well that I'd believe it if they wanted to save a whole faction with their own sandbox that have received a very mixed reception for later. Plus, it's a 10 year project, so I don't think they're in a hurry for launch to get as much as they can in the game as possible.
The only thing Halo 3 has Halo 2 beat are some level design decisions and the scarab fights. Otherwise I agree that Halo 2 is overall better especially in regards to story. Halo 3 has the worst level in the trilogy (Cortana), bad writing and a terrible voice recast with Truth.

Yeah it sucks, one of the reasons I don't really have H2A on my map rotation.
For the remainder of the season, probably. They've already put up everything added with the last update and most of the previous special unlocks. There's not much to add other than the handful of rank skins and Acrophobia, but the nature of the Exchange was always going to be a pool of rotating unlocks.

Forge Maps don't belong in matchmaking due to shit maps and spawns. H2A is the worst offender.
H2A is also the game that needs them the most. I'd much rather play the forge maps than trash like Stonetown in 4v4.
H2A is so fucking dark lol. I turn up the gamma all the way and it still doesn't help that much. I don't understand why H2A got fucked so bad. It was the game with the most potential. A nice face lift with some slight changes, but plays much like the original and yet it got the least amount of content.
H2A DLC would be nice, but that ship sailed about 7 years ago. No way were they going to put resources into DLC when the game was straight broken, and the console itself was still half-baked.
I forgot about that, although I bet it was planned as paid DLC and they just released it in "oh shit" mode post-launch. I wonder if they had other maps prototyped for DLC but ditched.
Will they come with more lights? 😖Easy way to fix it is just add more forge maps.
A little less than 3 weeks now until Summer Game Fest and E3. Hope Xbox announces their briefing details next week.
The next Inside Infinite (Thursday) will also be about the Halo Waypoint team and the app development, so don't expect too much. Might get a look at customization, if we are lucky.

Seriously, no Midship remake is just bizarre. I wonder how they chose which maps were remade.
Probably. They also didn't include any of the maps that got proper remakes in Reach: Beaver Creek, Tombstone, Headlong, and Ivory Tower. IIRC they actually publicly commented on that being the reason for those ones.
(Interestingly, I just noticed for the first time that every map that got some form of on-disc Forge World remake/reimagining in Reach WAS included: Coagulation, Ascension, and Lockout)
Admiring the flight updates to Halo 1 this morning 😍
Captain Keyes is looking good, now with his proper Xbox texture and not the WIP texture the gearbox port had:
The detail on Chief's armor has returned prominently:
Transparency effects have been improved and restored. Cortana is looking better and you can actually see the halo out the window.
The water regained its ripples:
And shields have their prop effects restored!
It's back!
And that's just some obvious early campaign stuff, there's more further in and in multiplayer.

It's really going to become the ultimate halo collection.
Now if they could give us the option to hide the overview of a level before playing it. It's very spoilery for new players. :/

I love that they're committed to this stuff, even though it's been SO LONG
makes me wonder what surprises may land down the line
I wonder if they are recreating the shaders or they somehow managed to convert them from the Xbox's NV2A format.
The Gearbox port was my formative Halo CE experience, so it's wild to see the effects as they were intended to be! Perhaps even slightly jarring, lol.Admiring the flight updates to Halo 1 this morning 😍
