Halo MCC/Infinite/general Griefing thread - Six months, two maps, no refunds

[>IMPLYING]

All of this just so they could have an incredibly shit 'fight' scene between Chief and a Flood Tank that completely destroys the tension of the final escape. The Autumn's about to explode, but Chief and the flood have enough time for this little gay slapfight.

It's arguably even worse than just that.
During the fight Chief is unable to use the assault rifle because it falls out of Reach.

Butterfingers!

He then shoots it with the magnum Keyes gives him.

Throughout the game this magnum is brought up a few times. Keyes gives it to chief because he wants it to reach his daughter, Chief tries to give it back when he rescues him from the Covie ship, and it comes back for the finale to kill the Flood Tank. Chief even holds it up and nods to Cortana after doing so, like a wink to the audience. "See? Good job Keyes gave us this pistol at the start of the game."


Oh, that's another weird thing. Chief keeps slotting Cortana into little pedestals and whatnot so she can walk and talk for a few seconds in a cutscene before he just puts her back in his helmet. There is no reason to do this. What if you get attacked mid-conversation and you can't pick her back up? But I'm nitpicking at this point. It might've been a thing purely so chief can nod at her in the ending fight.

TLDR: The Longsword was made a 1-person fighter so Chief can fumble grabbing his assault rifle.

So they're finally here, shooting at you
If you know the words, you can join in too
Put your hands together, if you want to clap
As we take you through this covie rap!
Huh!

This is some Cocomelon E for Everyone type shit. I genuinely didnt believe it would be that bad until i actually saw the clip.

Considering how many indian hands have touched this game, it’s quite possible the objective is to Bollywood-ify the original trilogy to tap into a much easier to please market.

>direction is shit in all regards
>fuck up the music
>hard miltary warrior woman

The warrior woman shit is what gets me everytime. It's the biggest red flag of anything modern.

You know like every historical woman who led men into battle was typically not a cunt. They are rare, but usually they tended to actually not be cunts.

Common misconception (by limp coastals) that military women have to be dykey cunts.

During my time, it was a woman during boot who “broke character” and levelled with the platoon. She was stern as they have to be but she was the “team mom” and the one most likely to pull you aside if you looked to be nearing collapse and give you a bit of hype to finish the day. You can be strong and gentle in equal measure.

Did they seriously have a prophet say "diversity is our strength" and introduce each member of the Covenant like a Power Rangers lineup complete with them striking capeshit poses?

It's also nonsensical, given that the Covenant has had a massive race war before this point, and would once again in the next game. The prophets don't treat the races equally, they use the Grunts as useless cannon fodder. Also, Grunts are not tenacious, they are extremely weak and cowardly.

 

[Großmann]

I hated this thing so fucking much. I was pissed off when Chief didn't just delete her.

Part of me liked Infinite but I'm starting to think that I just thought that the grappling hook was cool. I gave up after about 10 minutes of Halo 5 so I really had no fucking idea what was going on.

I beat Halo 5 and had no idea what was going on in Halo Infinite. It highlights modern Halo’s biggest issue: no through line between games. Halo 1-Reach all could be understood at a basic level without diving into Halo multimedia to figure out what’s happening. With Halo 4 and onwards, if you aren’t ingesting the multimedia waste bin like a good little piggie, you will be lost going from game to game. By Halo Infinite, my investment was gone. Like with Star Wars, Halo is now a thing I used to like that just doesn’t hit the same mark anymore. The only Halo I play now are the Bungie campaigns in MCC on PC and remember fondly the times I had Halo 2 and 3 LAN parties.

They dont have multiple Johnson lines do they.

Modern developers would never dare to create a slur for an alien race.

 

[Problematic User Forever]

I look at this game, and I just think how great were the first 3 Halos that they honestly had to spend nearly 20 years trying to recapture the magic and failing?

But then I remember this was always kind of a thing, but nobody spent billions on it back in the day. At some point Konami just had to accept that Contras glory days were over and relegate it to licensed deals for handhelds. At some point Namco had to realize that Pac Man is just gonna be fucking Pac Man and you just make a few bucks making a prettier version for mobile.

Not Xbox though. Halo is literally all they fucking got and they can't do anything right with it.

I feel like this guy breaks everything down pretty well, fuck this dead gay non-make. Highly looking forward to the crowbcat video on this

The Flood killed Keyes, but Chief killed the Flood with Keyes' pistol. It's like pottery, it rhymes. You can definitely tell the faggot writers were very proud of this retarded story they made with this pistol.

out of reach.

Out of what?

That custom magnum is so ugly. They don't know how to make something look special enough that the character (Keyes) would be proud of carrying all his service.
"UNSC" in big with a bunch of painted lines... Come on. Those weapons are manufactured for the UNSC, so why even put that on the side?
The pistol would look way better just with a wooden grip and Keyes' name or initials engraved on the side, that would be special enough to be given to his daughter later.

It was his pipe that was his favourite possession. Keyes had a pipe he nippled at as a stress reflex and I think he fucking lit it in the Flood novel when he realized, he’s going down.

But that’s tobacco so it’s gotta go.

Nobody will cry "muh lore" about that one, but they'll cry it all day about some angry dyke who wasn't in the original game, any books or any other supplemental material.

 

[Commander X]

A two-fer, the snarky hashtag-GIRRRRLBOSS character who also has a distractingly ugly character design. Once they start introducing those to a franchise, it's probably well past over. Halo had "strong female characters" before, but they weren't insufferable, they didn't constantly brag and snark about how badass they were, they weren't Reddit-style girlbosses who act like they're written by some queer with a fetish.

 

[Bob Barbas]

And modders like these won't save it.

Tbf modders have been autistic retards for literally decades now. There is no inbetween modders will either be actually cool dudes who just make cool shit or complete jibbering retards who get tilted at the slightest insult and throw massive bitchfits over nothing.

There's also no fail state if you kill Keyes in the covenant ship's brig. He falls down than gets up again.

>They added Bethesda style essential NPCs to Halo

This game sounds like it'll be aids but if I ever play I'm definitely gonna beat the shit out of Keyes lmao

I saw that it has sprint and that really tells me all I need to know.

Tbh I never got why so many people REEEEEE about there being sprint in Halo when there's so many other things wrong with the games now. I'd say having sprint isn't even a negative on its own and I say that as someone who is an OG fan that played the Halo 1 on the OG Xbox.

Never got the hate. It's such a weird thing to fixate on like some people do.

 

[PlapPlapPlapPlapPlap]

Sprint isn't a huge problem in campaign unless they bloat up the maps along with it (which cemake doesn't really do, thank god). But it ruins the flow of multiplayer and turns it into CoDslop.

I'd say the one and only time sprint has even come close to working in Halo multiplayer is the CE throwback playlist in The 5, mostly because the pistol killed too quickly for sprintfagging out of fights to be an option.
