Thief. Is. Not. Steampunk.

Gamescom also confirmed Space Hulk: Deathwing is coming this year (along with a whatever trailer). B)

owned yet again

I googled thief steampunk and the results seem pretty conclusive

this rules but does it seem like the game is really reluctant to acknowledge left-click actions, especially when combined with E? I want to make sure whether this is an issue with the game or the laptop I’m using.

What is that NPC at 1:03 doing to that buffalo?

[quote=ā€œGate88, post:2127, topic:197, full:trueā€]Oh, are you talking about the single player? Then, yeah, Halo 5 single player sucks. The multiplayer is maybe the best it has been, though.

i mean, it’s serviceable, but uh… noooooooooo

halo 1 was the best multiplayer for my money

Halo 5’s competitive more or whatever it’s called is super cool and basically a sport or whatever, but that’s not something I can do for more than a few games at a time and the rest of it, from what I saw anyways, was not good.

My favorite Halo MP is Reach which I am pretty sure is the Wrong Answer in Halo circles

Halo 5 arena is good and does a good job of ā€œHalo as sportā€, but its appeal as a Halo game lives and dies of how well you take to the changes they made (mostly the ones done in Halo 4)

The not-esports mode is fun though

My best Halo online memories is playing 3 with people here, mainly the silly modes like Rocket Race (AWESOME!) and that one where your team has to move the elephant to their side of the map

Yeah, it entirely depends on what you want. Halo is a lot of things to a lot of people.

The balance/viability of weapons is way better than it’s ever been. The movement (and related abilities) are really good too. And it runs at 60 fps!

If you value wacky game modes and sprawling vehicular combat, it’s probably not the best halo for you (not to say there isn’t any of that.)

I appreciate halo 1 mp the most because it’s basically console-ified pseudo quake

like, static timers for weapon/power-up spawns, small arena maps, every weapon is a projectile weapon, distinct effects for each (plasma rifle freezes + headshot bonus, super strong pistol, AR strong enough to be an effective pickup, automatic weapons get quick camo ability, etc)

a lot of this applies to halo 5 as well but a) many redundant weapons in the sandbox (whereas in halo 1 pretty much everything is useful, except the needler); b) additions from later eras of military fps, such as clamber and sprint (altho they are balanced about as well as you could hope)

some cool stuff e.g.

I don’t disagree with your points; I like Halo 1 for the same reasons!

Halo 1 is more pseudo tribes or pseudo unreal tournament than anything quake like. Mainly because movement is so slow and floaty and the maps feel like ut/tribes big spaces than quakes extremely tight layouts
