I tried to play it, but I'd rather just play titanfall or halo.

BR isn't for me, evidently
im fucking terrible at it - which is weird. i'm also strangely committed to wrapping my head around it and at least becoming decent. not sure why. my bruised ego? but yeah, the style is really not for me
Speaking of trying to nonsensically apply trends to Halo, remember when kids were obsessed with Minecraft and Murder Miners was a thing for like two weeks?
Still in the credits for testing that game lol
I think they are making a new one without the blocky look
Man that feels like forever ago. Before the HaloGAF ban, before the brief stay at SLAENT...
That could be fun.
How about all? BR, Arena, BTB, and a massive PVE sorta like Anthem, Destiny and division only with Halo boundaries.
That doesn't sound too bad. Rather than permadeath, I like Apex's Respawn system and I think it would better suit Halo's combat.
True
That was such BS to this day. Banning an entire community for a couple posts from just as many posters. Then citing the entire community was too off topic while other community threads were just as bad.
Crud, tuned in for the last 30 seconds, lol. What's the deal with this Outpost Discovery business?
Got matched with a player 3 times on MCC tonight who did nothing but bring teammates shields down and betray them. Killed me 4 or 5 times over 3 games, they were even listed as the player who killed me most in one of the matches despite being on my team 😅
Frustrating that I never got the option to boot them. Is betrayal booting enabled in MCC? Was in Halo 3 if that matters.

Respawn have certainly delivered the movement and gunplay/mechanics I want from a BR mode. Far and away above PUBG or Fortnite (aiming on console for those two is a total joke). Apex Legends is a real sweet spot for feeling accurate and when you lose you lost because of yourself/team not because of the controls.
That said I played about 6 games last night and still found myself having that ill feeling BR experience, scrounge for items for 10minutes get a kill or two and then die in a 10seconds gun tight. It's just a very slow gamestyle. I see the appeal but I far prefer a PvE experience, now give me that in a setting of 10-20-30 players on maps this size in a dynamically generated setting and we're good. I had some great moments and I'll Apex over PUBG/Fortnite but I'll still have BR on the secondary list of what I want to play.
This is so spot on for me. Exactly what I want from Infinite. Waaay more PvE and campaign content delivered often. PvP is fun but it just isn't fair online and gets stale without a regular team. Matchmade/party PvE content is what I want for the future of Halo. Given the Azure services I'd really like to see them push the boundaries and innovation on this front e.g. Gambit, story content, dynamic mission, Forge for mini campaigns.
Yup, Halo universe is so fascinating and rich with enemies, weapons, armors and stories.
LET ME TEAM UP AND EXPLORE.
While Destiny is Ok and Anthem looks also Ok from what I've played, 343 and Halo can really dominate this area. Everything is basically there, they just need to execute it right.
Oh, here is what they were talking about, courtesy Grim's facebook page:

halo has already been reduced to generic sci-fi shooter at this point.
set loot would add a competitive aspect to BR that no other game has tried and would set it apart from everything else in the genre
I'm not sure what you mean. Like Halo 4 ordnance drops but without randomness?
Just do it like Halo has always done.
Set weapons spawn in set positions. No randomness.
Sprint, ADS, Microtransactions. pretty generic to me
people really talking about a halo Battle royale when its not needed.
What about alternating Overshields and Camo? Not random, but it mixes things up a little.
Yup jem knows what I mean
I enjoy playing pubg/blackout because of the (in game narrative) that comes with having bad->good loot and the progression of each game, but if they locked it down so you knew where stuff was, that would change the dynamic of how you approach drop locations and fighting to take areas because knowing what enemies may have.
It might not work in practice, but it could be a unique element for the genre that I believe is too random to truly be "competitive"
I don't have a white board and a design team to help push these types of ideas to their fullest, but I just believe if you pulled that string you'd eventually find your way to something very unique and possibly great
I honestly have to wonder if there's going to be a big enough audience for this to warrant a 3 day event across multiple cities. Sure people will show up, and if I could I would go to the Houston one on that Saturday, but until I see more (the panels, booths, etc.) I have to wonder y'know? This seems to be like their own Star Wars Celebration which is cool, but I don't know if making it a tour will help it.
H1 Sniper Rifle and other weapons for life. They looked and felt so much more futuristic and clean (shotgun especially.)
I think the CE sniper still has the best sound. It feels good to fire with how good the sound design is.
Yup, CE is Legendary. They just sorta fit into Halo atmosphere. 2- Reach also.
343 design fits more into infinite warfare tbh. Out of wack.

Haven't tried apex yet. What do you mean by that?
Edit; Just read the thread about it. Yup, sounds cool.
You can ping ANYTHING, so if you see a weapon you can ping it and your friends will all hear you vocalize where is at and what it is, same for general locations where they should go or where enimies are at. They could remove radar for a ping system because it just makes shoutouts easier and you don't have to actually talk.
Radar would have to go fully for it to work, but I'm in favor of that. Probably remove pinging enimies but have an alert that you see them
How does ping compare to Spartan Chatter? I Remember when H5 beta was out, a lot of people complained about how much talking the Spartans did. I for one really appreciated being able to get call out information from people who weren't using mics.in the full release, I think toned back how often they talK.
