That made me think of a Fake ViDoc we were creating when I was working with my team on HaloDestiny.net 6 years ago (the ones who made the Halo 3 ODST Fake menu years ago) called Halo Anthology: https://www.halodestiny.net/news-1787-par-l-amitie-et-l-amour-des-fakes-halo-anthology.htmlThe snow is back in Halo Infinite! At least this new concept art implies it.

Yeah put the Halo 3 sniper and it’s BTB maps in Halo 2 and it’s perfect. H2A is also rediculous.
Facts.
This exact line was actually written in the New Testament. Little known fact.
That’s the baggage of having a sequel. If you get rid of the BR and DMR people would be angry. If you change the BR to 5 shot like they did in 4, people again get angry. Not saying it can’t be balanced, but that’s easier said than done.
it's my second favorite, but it's by far the best since CE
this wasn't an issue until 343 inexplicably nerfed them both to oblivion in the tuning update- implementing changes that no one asked for. DMR just needed bullet magnetism reduction (you could get headshots by aiming at the waist). BR just needed a slight unscoped RRR reduction.
Yeah being hobbled on spawn is bad.
i get what they were going for, making both the dmr and br preferable at longer ranges, but i dont think they were all that successful. I'll pick up a dmr/br as a secondary, but the pistol is better all but the longest sight lines in 4v4.
I don't think they were successful at all. I mean the DMR and BR were already preferable at long range. They Were just a little too easy to use effectively.at all ranges
Halo 3 pistol < Moose < Halo 2 pistol
The BR doesn't have RNG spread.
Forge gonna be the Infinite MVP if they play their cards right.
They have the industries best content tool (don't try and tell me far cry is better, it might have more but it's not better suited for it's game) but they cut themselves off at the knees with their lack of implementation into the general playlists and the ridiculous wait times in between content updates and how long the vetting process takes to put custom maps in the matchmaking. I'm really really hoping they took a hard look and can completely streamline this experience because the content is there and they have people willing to help and put it in the work they just have to get it in the game.
Yo... The extremely long vetting process is bananas considering many of the maps still release with issues.
In addition to usual submission settings vetting the most popular custom variants for proper inclusion would definitely be a good idea.
Im not as close to the process as I once was, but I know it can take 6 months to a year sometimes to get stuff through, that's crazy.
If 343 can have their own private server(s) that only run test maps then absolutely
I wonder how they're selecting their sample for this.
playing some shitty eleven year olds version of Mexicans invade America for 6 hours, no thanks
I can agree with that but you do want to resolve the issue of slow approval process for forge creations to get into matchmaking right? Do you just want that processed sped up and have less checks etc?
There's a little info here, but they don't really go into concrete details: https://www.trueachievements.com/n35488/introducing-the-xbox-gameplay-chart
I totally get the intent, I just wasn't sold on your concept of delivery thats all. The approval process is definitely way too long, Hell, Im still waiting..
Tbh, I know for a fact I can be build a dozen maps in a month and they could be played in matchmaking settings, maybe some more spawns need to be added or different zones, but fundamentally they always "work", that just comes from experience, Im not special in that, anyone whose been forging at a high level for a long time understands the requirements
I want it to be representative of our community, so "cool" is right out.
no gif support so holly michaels and hot dog butt scattershot are both out
I saw a little of those conversations from Waypoint moderator days, it was slow, oh yes it was slow. Here's a perfect place to outsource a little work, pay them, get them to stream as part of some contractor agreement etc and then promote them as well. It's pretty straight forward to me, nothing wrong with being critical when it's warranted mate.
I like the thinking there, the number one thing we have been asking for is transparency and they have made some progress in that area, but they still need to improve, I have hope that they will because in my opinion they need to.
LOL. Perhaps a mini ViDoc on the maps then, similar to the map reveals by staffers of old. Or a forgers peak at what is coming to matchmaking next week/month etc.
Im sure, and Im happy for it, just hoping for improvement and more streamlined pipeline for infinite
Get some Forerunner or Covenant pattern or just a slice of the ring. You can't really fit a lot of stuff so you might as well have it cut off (use the MCC wallpaper?)
whenever this happens to me I play some warzone gametypes. they're definitely kind of uneven in their design but the amount of chaos and long match time ends up being kind of relaxing; you don't really need to think about strategy as much as your moment to moment.
Just FYI to make things feel even worse, there is now a save draft post feature in ERA 2.0.
