HALO

Remember how Halo 2 was gonna have stencil shadows and the resultant scrapping of them forced Bungie to crunch for a year on Halo 2?!

A modder is working to add them back in.

I don’t want to be precious or entitled about this but cutting split screen after ten months is rough. It’s just the essential Halo feature.

yeah i mean i get it, i havent played splitscreen halo in a decade. but it was kinda one of the last major non-fighting games to do the whole ‘gather around a screen’ thing really well

times like these are when you start despising your studio’s budget and professionalism because it makes 95% solutions an automatic no

So many cool things that would have flied before 2005 killed because they can’t be brought up to the standards of other features

The same trick on a Series S runs terribly so the layperson guess is it’s shelved for feature parity

Curious what they do now

They do seem to have a policy of no market segmentation, at least in terms of in-game content availability

Wonder how long they’ll manage to maintain that, or if certain types of cpu-heavy games will suffer

i miss how in Halo CE you can create intense hardware slowdown simply by meleeing a jackal body enough times

error: too much blood
