Juse beat Halo 3 on legendary. I cried during the final cutscene and credits because I realized that the game marked an end to a masterpiece. And with the multiplayer community slowly decaying, bungie selling out, and 343 dumping garbage titled as halo, there may never be a game as good
>>769200492
good job, anon. take a breather and reflect on what you just went through. and remember to protest when 343 decides to shit on the legendary halo series for a 3 time. be vocal don't let them get away with this shit.
Halo Reach was good and you're still a fag
>>769201034
It was, probably the last good halo
>>769201171
>>769201034
I second this.
Wait what about ODST?
>>769200492
Honestly. Single player fps games have been dieing out due to games like call of duty where multiplayer is the primary focus and single player is a distant second.
A major single player fps with an original plot has not been released in a very long time.
I fucking miss halo 3 custom games. Good times.
>>769200492
Let's just remember that bungie could count to 3
>>769202105
Yeah, but halo 3 also had the best multiplayer I've ever seen. Custom games, forge, amazing playlist.
>>769202104
ODST is good but it's still below halo 3 and reach. Definitely a game to return to though.
>>769200492
inb4 call of duty faggots
>>769202105
Bioshock is post-good Halo. Borderlands is post-good Halo and they've been teasing a new one.
>>769202530
Yes but that's 2 franchises in an entire decade right there.
>>769202105
Somewhat ironic, because COD had great single player for a while. Cod4 up until MW3 were fantastic campaigns
[spoilers] What are the numbers, Mason? [/spoilers]
>>769202444
MW had a decent story compared to today's SP games.
>>769200492
Atta boy. Long live system linking with your friends. Shit was rad, gaming will never be the same.
SLASO was both a pain in the ass and the most beautiful thing I've ever experimented on a console.
>>769202105
Well... there's still Deus Ex
go to bed jc
The ending on Legendary isn't canon is it?
>>769200492
>2 was best
>1 was better than 3
>sage
>>769202948
That is third person and also closer to an action rpg if we are going to be honest here. It just uses guns instead of swords and/or magic.
>>769203031
Were it so easy
>>769202782
I'd argue only CoD4, CoD WaW and BlackOps, MW2 went bananas with the russian invasion and the No Russian mission was stupid AF (no one bother to check security cams for the most wanted russian terrorist in the world?)
>>769203031
Can you remind me what that was?
>>769200492
I'll destroy anyone ITT in Classic H2 Lockout.
2007 to 2011 was the golden age of Halo and Xbox Live in general. Thousands on thousands of custom matches. Greatest game ever.

Anyone know if there is an Xbox 360 emulator? I wanna relive Halo 3 and Reach but no longer own an Xbox
>>769203836
Will double shot and bxr rape
Damn OP this dredged up some old memories - I only had Halo 2 for the longest time. Parents were super strict and my first console ever was a refurbed POS that caused Halo 1 to load for 30min per checkpoint because they tapped too many neon strips into the psu.
Games are not being made to be played by gamers, they're made for streamers where glitches and fuck-ups within the game end up being more profitable when they can get streamers to promote their games; ex PUBG.
What a blatant scam of a game.
>>769203847
There is but reach has been in the works of being decompiled and they only just recently got to the main menu- albeit a really fucked up main menu. You'd also need one hell of a pc to run it.
>>769203945
Lawl, not better than me you scrub.
Do you even claw bro?
>>769200492
i always thought the halo games sucked balls
the story was terrible
why was everything so ugly? all the designs were so stupid
it wasnt even fun
>>769204171
Like Warframe, you either get it or you don't. Maybe sci-fi isnt your thing.
>>769204053
What's the name of the emulator? I have a pretty good PC.
>>769204209
shut the fuck up faggot
my point was that as far as sci fi goes, halo was a shit show. try reading a book in the genre sometime and realize your shitty game was fucking retarded and also stole from Ringworld
>>769204171
the AI is actually really well made.
after you kill enemies in halo, its hard to go back to anything from that time period.
>>769204329
Damn looking the insecurity leaking out of you! I never even said I liked the game myself, and I do in fact read sci-fi. Old Man's War is one of my fav series.
>>769204329
I think it was pretty good, even some of the novels are entertaining and the Animatrix like anthology was awesome
>>769204417
haha i know right? nothing screams insecurity like a person pointing out that you're wrong when you say something fucking stupid! i'm so insecure fuck a confident person would blindly praise a popular game because nostalgia.
have you read the forever war? its one of my favorites and apparently they're really similar
>>769204283
Xenia. I have a 5930k plenty of ram and 24gb vram good luck, it runs like ass.
>>769204608
Thanks. I won't be able to run it, but I'll keep an eye on it.
>>769204596
No. But I will look it up for the sake of a good story. Flaming your disproval of a game so passionately makes me think you were left out of the hype as a kid.
I beat pistola on MCC. Nigger.
>>769204112
>>769204492
>>769204171
uhhhh okay uhhhh a ring in space and UHHHHH aliens attack and UHMMM then uh..uh ZOMBIES! yeah uhh that's right zombies! (the entire series becomes a fucking zombie game and gives up what was fun and unique about it: fighting the covenant)
Then they come to earth and UHHHH then they leave earth then UHHH uhm then in the third game they come back again and UHHHH
everyone acknowledges that halo has a terrible story and the team just managed to tell that terrible story well
>>769204733
I was on FB's farm team Classic.
Seriously, add me and get fucking wrecked.
>>769203847
Honestly I doubt we'll see one in good working condition for a while, even Microsoft is having trouble emulating the 360, that's why they emulate one game at the time
>>769204705
i never had internet growing up so never got to play online, maybe that's part of it.
but yeah the forever war was awesome to me when i first read it in high school
>>769204804
>has a terrible story and the team just managed to tell that terrible story well
I think that's an oxymoron, as an example: have you seen Mad Max Fury Road??
>>769204832
Its down to getting single core performance and single thread speed where Crysis expected it to be today around 8-9GHz. Since virtualization rarely often uses resources efficiently or multiple cores, we're in limbo since the only way forward as of the moment is to tack on more cores because the smaller you get in NM the less stable Ghz gets at higher freqs.
>>769200492
qeibf ciard daffit qgat aew tiy 12
>>769204832
I wonder why Xbox consoles are so hard to emulate. The PS3 and WiiU have pretty good ones.
>>769202301
man fuck off ODST was epic it was equal if not better than halo 3. People fail to realize that the game was designed to put the player into the same combat environment as the chief with out the benefits of being a spartan. Fire fight was great!
>>769200492
>cried
What're you 12? Wrong board faggot. Get out of here.
>>769204918
I didn't either. I had a fucked up xbox which barely ran long after it came out. Only thing before that was a gba so I don't get the appeal of mario or zelda. Born 1992, got an original xbox around 2005
>>769204978
not really. There are good stories told badly, which is what happens with many movies that are based on books, where the directors just can't fucking figure out how to translate it and for some reason always fucking throw a love story in the movies
then there are bad stories told well. Halo's story is fucking shit, but they did it in such a cinematic way that used to awe inspiring scope and size of space and other planets to make it have an impact, even though the story was just a fucking zombie story that kicked off the 10 years of zombie EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. All the backstory is really kinda shit
>>769205045
For real PS3?
>>769205001
I have no idea what you said, sounds right tho
What's your favorite moment in the Halos lads?
One of mine is when you have to kill all the elites to get the bomb out of the Cairo; the music, the setting and the rewarding cutscene at the end!
>>769204819
Carbon wins the championship.
>>769205334
lol
Preach it brother
>>769203034
This guy knows whats up. Halo 3 ending is a shit lego bridge copy of halo 1 ending. Halo 2 gave us the brutes, te elite's fight for honor, and the parasite fear of extinction. Halo 3 gave us brutes in silly hats. Never forget bruh.

>>769201034
3rded ODST was also really good fight me.
>>769205185
same here haha. ive tried to play many mario and zelda games and i just don't get it. never had fun with any of them.
>>769200492
yep the Halo series died with Halo 3. such a shame.
>>769205467
also no i haven't seen mad max yet,but that makes sense.
I would also say that the judge dredd movie is a good example of a bad/boring story told very well.
the story is just
>there are drugs in this building
>lets go find em
but the movie is so much fun and so interesting, it just plays out like an comic book or an episode of a tv show that you always wish existed. it's so satisfying even though its so simple
>>769205648
I think it died with Reach personally. Reach was pretty good.
>>769205448
replay that shit on legendary and tell me that was the best part. fucking cancer tbh.
EL
DEW
RITO
>>769205705
Reach felt like the it was after the apex, still good but lower quality
>>769205306
When emulating you often need 10x the power of the original console for it to run at full speed.
Since were going the way of core count, we need programmers (which even major game devs seem to avoid doing) to optimize for hyperthreading and multi-core rendering. DX12 and Vulkan when they work (often not) offload a small portion of CPU-0's workload, but not nearly enough.
In most if not all games, if you had a quad core cpu 0 takes 75% of all load, cpu 1 is lucky to get 10% and the other two bounce between filling the blanks. Even with their low specs, Consoles were programmed to utilize every portion of the hardware since it was standardized. Check out the gamecube and rouge squadron 3- they pushed that shit beyond its limits.
Once we either move past DX12/Vulkan or perfect them (unlikely) and we can balance the workload between all cores, then we will see emulators and shit for consoles as they release.
>>769205705
Reach was alright despite your entire fucking team dying. It's redemption was that its storyline tied to the first Halo. Multiplayer was shit though.
>>769205680
Another point I'd like to add against your "bad story" argument and my "well told" one is that Halo had the gameplay mechanics fine tuned, so goddamn satisfying, the BR, the plasma nades, the vehicles! There was a time in VG where story and gameplay were a fine balance and the result is brilliant games (I'm including Half-Life 2)
>>769205881
Thanks
>>769205515
>I grew up with Impossible Creatures, Ty the Tiger. Mechwarrior and Lego Racers 2.
Those were about the only games I managed to retain when my father would go on his perfectionistic rage. Got a B on report card? Come home to an empty room void of all belongings. Lost Battlefront 2 like 8 times to that shit, thankfully my mother rebought that piece of my past when it devolved into forgetting to make the bed meant my xbox was in the dumpster. Shit was rough, but mother passing away made my old man 180 so hard he's the nicest person in the world.

>>769204804
Woah there calm down on the insecurity.
>>769200492
facts op
>>769200492
I miss the old days of good Halo. I was thinking of playing ElDewrito after 0.6 dropped but Microsoft cucked Halo again and it's bullshit. The fucking shitskins that run that company ran their IP into the ground via 343 and screwed over the only people that had enough passion to make the game they wanted, themselves. End Halo on a good note friend, don't play anything past Reach.
>>769206161
haha holy shit dude I'm so sorry. I had some friends with parents like that and I couldn't believe those kinds of stories when they told me. that must have been so hard.
Also i have battlefront 2 on my coffee table right now! but my 360 wont play it without a harddrive, so im debating whether its worth it to buy one
Dont make a girla promise if you know you can't keep it.
>>769206385
you cant MAKE me stop being insecure!
>>769205179
No I'm 24, but the game was a huge part of my life growing up and the nastolgia was intense. And what's wrong with having feelings? Sorry I'm not an in-human husk.
>>769206340
It's a game nigga, kinda like the Mako in MassEffect1
>>769206502
why did they name phone voice assistants cortana? that's always annoyed me
>>769206689
FUCK THE MAKO HOLY SHIT
>>769206452
swsaga.ru Its a huge mod pack that makes the game 36gb of every eps, season, alt-universe, games in one. Shits amazing, supports 4k and improved bots and 64v64
>>769201034
It was the beginning of the end.
Everything Halo Reach did, Halo 3 did better.
Story was decent, but the multiplayer was terrible outside of ducking around in forge minigames.
>>769205420
Ok, I never said 3 was better than 1 or 2, 2 is my favorite but halo 3 was the finale.
>>769206710
Well it's a digital assistant, an actual AI and voiced by Jan Taylor, do the math.
>>769205436
Composure eh?
Nice to see an old teammate around.
>>769207011
the math is fucking STUPID why would the general population want the equivalent of a weaboo waifu for americans on their phone?
>>769206850
holy shit thanks that sounds awesome!
>>769207185
If you install it to steam, you can play online. Has a few servers up. Its nice to play BF1 Bespin on the new engine and reverse BF2's shitty lack of air vehicles on land maps. Has all the PSP battlefront maps, BF1 maps and a bunch of custom maps some converted from Jedi Knight.
>>769200492
Fuck I'm gonna have to go dig my old 360 up tomorrow and play some halo 3, turn on IWHBYD and play through campaign again
>>769207185
Oh, if you choose not to install from steam, effectively it's the full game. They act like you need to own the physical disc to avoid getting the site taken down, but yeah, its a full game.
>>769207273
>>769207369
that's so cool thanks! I've never played it online, only ever with bots kek
>>769207354
That's what I did, the only bad part is the gaping hole that's left in your hear once you relive the story and finish it.
>>769204733
Whoop de shit... I beat Harrier Attack on Standard.
>>769206850
You're doing god's work anon, thanks!
>>769207151
Dude the general population have no idea where does she come from, for the vast many it's just an assistant like Alexa or John Legend.
>>769207734
Yeah it's never quite the same as the first play through. Still I hadn't played on my old console in many years, so it might be fun to replay some of the games I still have since I'm back from the dorms for the summer and I don't have a job.
Just play Halo online. Very good game yes.
>>769209312
They banned me from the ElDewrito Discord, which is the only way you can join servers, because the in game server browser is fucked.
I think I made a small joke, I don't really know. The administration was triggered banning everyone.
>>769209457
Pls, tell me the joke.
>>769210169
I don't know what I said. I was banned mid-conversation with other players.
>>769203535
I'll literally rape your ass 10 times before I even let you touch a power weapon. God I miss halo 2 online
>>769202530
Borderlands is trash
>>769202885
playing through MWs story mode now confirms this as fact. I actually felt immersed in the experience, as opposed to playing BO3 or WW2
