I think I had signed up on the old forum but like right at the time the migration happened and hadn’t been very active so kinda forgot about the place lmao
it fees like they could easily make it so the par score and time is only displayed if you select the appropriate campaign timer
Mk vii armor. I wish this was the new default for Mr cheef!
my take
All Halo Mans are identical
master chief looks like a girl here so its good. the ODSTish helmet appeals to 8 year old me who thinks helljumpers are the coolest halo boys
the halo 4 design is disgusting but otherwise: Yes this is why is why Halo is cool, it’s just variant porn on one particularly cool design family of combat armor
I’m guessing ODST will be out next week. It’s been long enough and the time seems close.
the real deal
enjoying the scary-sounding “message about your Steam account” you get from Steam Support when Microsoft stop running the Halo flights and revoke the key
Are they adding support for firefights? Cause that’s what’s missing from the Xbox version and it’s the best part of ODST.
Yes, Firefight is in this upcoming patch. It will also be added to the Xbone version.
hurrah
ODST campaign is kind of bad ngl
great aesthetic tho
you misspelled the best campaign
the combat encounters really suck iirc and i find the actual gameplay of the levels rly frustrating
i do like the narrative arc and the characters and so on
idk i’ll remember better once i replay it
I mean the combat encounters are very punishing if you treat them like you’re a John Halo type, which you’re not, which I get is jarring for a series where you play as John Halo types otherwise exclusively, but I enjoy that change of pace and character to the encounters, and how it brought new angles to fighting largely the same types of enemies
ODST is the best campaign because its all about taking your power away and you not throwing as far as the chief and the monsters being twice as mean to you because you’re not as tough as the chief, you cant jump as high and everything at first feels a little more frustrating because WAHH IM NOT THE CHIEF but once you realize that you’re just whining for superpower and learn your new grenade arc it rules. odst gives me the most marathon vibes. i love to not turn that hud stupid overlay bullshit thing on and get lost for ULTIMATE MARATHONIMMERSION
marremersion.
I remember liking ODST’s campaign except that the next-to-last mission was like a solid hour of one copy-pasted square corridor chained together, if I recall correctly (it doesn’t fit with the rest of ODST so I always stop myself and wonder if I actually played that in Halo 4 or something). That soured me on it a bit
getting back to halo’s roots (I have no idea why bungie do this as like a bit whenever they’re forced to crunch)
Reach is smarter and does the ol’ backwards level (now with new time of day change!)
@Felix do you want to try co-op on Halo ODST? I’m taking election week on vacation so I can play this weekend or whenever
In the end I think I don’t really like Halo 3 enough to play through it so we can drop that, but ODST is more up my alley (especially since we can just skip the hallway level I think with MCC mission select).
