Halo |OT2| Master Chief for Smash

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

I don't really think that's us you need to convince about which radar is better with this listing.

There are a bunch of people in here who like motion tracker, likely even more who lurk and don't comment. I want to get them actively thinking about it during a match and consider what we discuss in here, but that list above is for me to use as a resource in future discussions elsewhere.

If we don't talk about it now before the next flight, I have 0 hope of it changing.

Counterpoint



(I don't actually care one way or the other)

How is this a counter point? For one, it was a good grenade with or without motion tracker, but I'm guessing it was thrown because of that red dot, right? So doesn't that prove my point?

I certainly needed it to drop that in there, but like I said, doesn't matter to me, I'll just miss glancing at it

Grenade hit markers.

Are those in infinite?

only in social modes. Not in ranked/competitive modes

Reddit is clearly happy about the radar change - a comment I made saying it's a shame it got reverted has been downvoted into oblivion.

 

[The Real Napsta]

I prefer classic radar or no radar. The in between radar didn't vibe with me.

Here's a quick breakdown:

Gravity Hammer: Still no gravity (but maintaining that nice slow swing ✔)

I can't believe 343 has been ignoring our beloved hammer physics for 3 games now.

 

[Trup1aya]

I'm going to have an aneurism the next time the radar change is blamed on the Halo purists who only want Halo 3 rehash.

casual Halo forgot that ability tracker was originally created to appease people who didn't like Spartan Abilities and radar ie…. The purists. casuals rejected the ability tracker- relegating it to ranked play.

Infinite debuts with combat tracker, but it was removed after just 2 hrs of pvp test. Now purists are being blamed for the removal of the radar that they have been favorable towards for years now.

absolute insanity.

 

[TheHunter]

At least abilities are gone!

 

[The Real Napsta]

They brought back the moving planks from turf! I don't think those were in the Halo online version.

Can you blow up the tent still?

 

[Tawpgun]

Something I don't like is when the rules change too much between modes.

Weapon starts is one thing but to have different weapon layouts, movement speeds, radar/health models was really dumb when playing hardcore or MLG modes.

The ranked-social changes should be as minimal as possible.

Agreed different blooms across reach also sucks. Be consistent across the game.

They wanted forge maps like the cage over Halo CEA maps and begged for AR starts in MCC. Their opinions deserve zero consideration.

the aesthetic of this map in terms of lighting and atmosphere is so fucking good

it's a shame Halo has moved away from the ambient and living designscapes, everything feels too clean and sterile anymore

Since I'm back to playing MCC (saving up for season eight). Here comes the complaining again. Lost this one 50-47 and I wonder why. 🤔

It's always the idiots with a dick emblem. And yes he was playing not afk or a bot.

Nope, can't take it anymore. Every game since this has been against a premade and the scores are like 50-25. One guy had over 500k kills. Bro there are more games than Halo.

I just played another one with a premade of tour 9s and 50s in H4 squad battle. This just gets old.

This was Halo 3 and Reach's biggest failings MLG wise.

Even though the base gameplay was superior for both. (motion tracker not withstanding :P)

 

[DemonCarnotaur]

It just occurred to me that if Infinite doesn't have the DMR nor the Carbine, they should bring back the Needle Rifle finally -- it would absolutely fill a unique roll in the sandbox.

We'll get everything eventually I'm honestly not fussed by weapons missing. We've been using some of the same guns for 20 years. As long as the fundamentals are there I'm fine with new weapons.

 

[Forerunner]

Reach has no redeeming qualities. Before it had cosmetics and a great forge; all those points are mute now that you can just play all of the Halos side by side. Trash maps, trash abilities, and trash weapon sandbox. It's just trash.

Why it comes up so often in MCC is beyond me. Fuck Reach. I can't believe it was one of my most played Halos.

New multiplayer rankings!

H3>H5>H2>CE>H4>>>Splitgate>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Reach

 

[jem]

How is it that the MCC still can't matchmake when you load the game from quick resume/a suspended state.

I'm sick of having to quit the damn build.

 

[DemonCarnotaur]

Bring back Skirmishers while we're at it.

I don't care that they are allegedly extinct, bring em back in -- and bring in the 343 Jackal designs as some sort of Jackal heavy variant.

 

[VorpalNonsense]

Reach multiplayer does suck. At the time I enjoyed it well enough because it was the new hotness, but now that I'm able to hop freely between so many halo games, it just feels like junk in comparison. When I was making a list of my favorite multiplayer maps from every game, I literally forget to include reach at all. Someone pointed out may accident after I posted. Visually it was great with fantastic customization options, and the campaign is cool, but multiplayer is a trash heap. It's got a few highlight ideas to pick out, but as a whole I just dont want to play it anymore. For me it only exists in the MCC for campaign.

 

[Forerunner]

I think it's a combination of a lot of things. It was the Halo coming after the most successful one, Halo 3, so everyone wanted to play it. It had great cosmetics and ranks to keep you playing. It also had a ton of modes and a great forge to keep it feeling fresh. However, now that we have the ability to play it side by side with all the others it just falls on its face. The campaign was decent and so was the FF, but multiplayer was and is trash.

Session tokens are a sod of a thing. We have a similar thing that can temporarily occur in Quake. The client doesn't know your token is expired until it tries to use it, and thus on session errors I always terminate the login and the client has to restart the whole sign in process to hopefully clear it up.

This is the reality of matchmaking. Imagine if you didn't have your red dot telling your every move to the enemy, you'd be able to do more as a solo player.

Noo but sOcIaL pLaYlIsTs ArE cAsUaL, lol. Give me a damn break with people thinking this. As if no one is using their brain in social playlists.

Not judging you, but that's one of the worst take I've ever read on that sequence. Like, I would understand if you told me this doesn't make any sense within the lore level design wise, and I would agree, but the sequence itself? It's a lot of fun imo, I'm not so sure what's putting you off.

You don't like driving and having fun messing around? Also, remember it's just one sequence, the only other occurence is in Halo 3, so I'm not so sure why it would put you off for the whole saga? 😅

lmao wait what

You serious?

Yeah, might not be the series for you. Literally one of the most beloved and celebrated sequences of the franchise.

 

[Tappin Brews]

In all fairness, it likely doesn;t hold up, mechanically, in 2021. Probaly a fairly rough climax for someone new to the series. /shrug

Can't speak to 2021, but after replaying when MCC dropped on PC, it holds up

 

[lambdaupsilon]

it is pretty unreliable to get the achievement for doing it without flipping over, especially since you have to do it from the very start if you fuck up
there are some sections that i'm still not sure how you're supposed to get through quickly (as opposed to slowly weaving around pillars) but that's mostly because i've never cared enough to look it up

this was like the dopest thing ever at the time of release. I must have completed it hundreds of times.

this is probably the first time I've ever seen such a negative reaction to it. lol . IMO, There are far worse sequences one Halo CE, let alone all games.

what issue are you having?

It's a timed sequence with terrible controls and the level design is intentionally cumbersome. I can't believe this is something that is looked back on fondly.

you know, I hear people new to halo say the warthog controls are bad and I sympathize because no other franchises adopted the control scheme- but man I just don't agree.

what about the level felt cumbersome? You just run over enemies and do some sick jumps. There's way more time than is actually needed too.

Click to shrink...

It's looked at fondly because not only is it still awesome, but it was fresh and unique as most if not all FPS games ended with a boss fight. Halo 1 broke away from bosses entirely and let players use their experience gained with the weapon and vehicle sandbox to finish the game with something other than a boss fight.

 

[Cheesy]

Are Halo 1 and 2 playable in multiplayer for any of y'all? Whenever I try to play them I get the most horrendous lag, they're just unplayable for me, every other game in the collection is fine for me though.
