" i suk so does the game"
:lol :lol

T H I S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im terrible at halo now adays... but you wont find me saying the game itself is bad..

even some of my friends say CoD aw is bad.... but they're the only ones going negative, not dropping score steaks, and are food.

I understand not having fun cuz ur bad, but keep it 100 and just say you're not good any more :lol

Generally saying "_______ is the best installment of _______" = "I was the best at _______ and im not good at ________"

but its a two edged sword because if Halo Combat evolved never... evolved into what it is today, the franchise would get even more hate due to ppl saying "Its the same ish every release" than the extremely small (in comparison) demographic of people who say "All the new stuff they add is trash.. give me halo a halo 2 clone with new maps"

Thats why they released Halo MCC imo... to give the older folks what they want and they can die there while the rest of the younger, willing to change and evolve gaming crowd stays up to date.

Game does suck though.

No one is saying they want a H2 carbon copy either. That defense is a cop out.

djyoung08 djyoung08 I hear you fully. I like all the big shooters (CoD, BF, Halo) for their own reasons but the beta for 5 just isn't doing it for me. It's hard to adjust to it honestly when coming from other halos and I personnally dislike all the new mobility features with the thrusters and the dashing.

I also dislike sprint since it's connected to the shield I almost feel like what's the point of even having it at times when you are getting shot at. And it doesn't help when you can get rushed by dudes using sprint and the dashing to get to you much faster. I think the dashing should also be linked to the shields as well it wouldn't hurt.

The SMG and AR I feel are too good espicially the AR. I think if the damage could be reduced for the AR I would like it much more since when I get into a gun fight while using the BR I feel outmatched at times.

This game can be good and I wanna give it a try but the way it is now I'm not liking it. There just need to be tweaks to the things they have added to the game hopefully they get some critical feedback to make some additional polishing to the game since it seems like it is almost done with production imo

Game doesn't suck, you just don't like it and we know the reasons as you've stated multiple times and that's fine

Game has welcome additions, clamber thruster. They're going to adjust the strength of the AR. ( I actually preferred the AR starts of Halo 3 and reach, so I'm not really complaining)

Most people don't mind the "ads" after playing it

I'll need to see some better maps though

:lol :lol

:rolleyes

you are telling me the beta is fun?

im sorry but adding all this new crap is garbage. all they have to do is change weapons and make good maps and graphics not add all this little confusing crap to make it even harder and confusing to play.

No I'm saying you played one game and came on NT to call it trash. That's not enough time to evaluate a game.
 
Just got back from DC. Haven't played the beta at all yet. Tomorrow I'll jump on it and give the definitive NT review :lol



Srs doe




Btw

It sucks but buy a TV bro, only way or get a playstation instead. That has AV out.
PS4 has AV out 8o

You just got a PS4 and be knowing more than I do :lol

I though all current gen was strictly hdmi.

No console war but that av out is pointless seriously if u don't have a hdmi TV u made the wrong purchase its 2015 everything is high def. Next gen console on basically a tube TV ? Lol that hdmi to component is gonna look horrible. Just wait and buy a real TV IMO

Anyone ever had problems when game sharing? I started game sharing with my bro and we downloaded the games straight but whenever I try to play the game it says "Do you own this game or app?".

Also shouts to <a data-huddler-embed="href" href="https://niketalk.com/members/79112" style="display:inline-block;">@shottadru</a>
 came up on GTA V for free :hat
[/thread]

No prob bro

U game sharing digital copies right? Did yall set the console as home for each other game tag? Review the game share video ensure yall set up properly.
 
Halo 5 debate is interesting. People generally don't like change, especially when something wasn't broken. I don't like where COD went over the years so I guess the hardcore Halo players feel what I felt.

it's not that i didn't believe you, it's just that i couldn't believe the predicament i was in.....

and i know TV's are cheap now, but we're tryin to save up for a house- i'll still check out amazon and newegg though.....

Thanks fellas.....

No worries bro thing is with no hdmi I just didn't want u to not have a real experience with your console...how many inches is yor TV maybe u can sell it and cop a flat screen with those funds by throwing an extra $100 or so on it...
 
The Halo community is a living example of the familiarity heuristic and prosophobia.
well yes and no. The OG halo fans got the games they liked 7-9 years ago. Since then the game has went through changes to a degree where it's completely different gameplay wise.

Now we have these new halo fans that first got into halo with reach and 4. To them halo Is still halo.


The halo community really is one divided.

I've played enough of this beta along with my experience with Halo in general  to gain a solid opinion of it. After this I'm pretty much gonna refrain from posting opinions about it, the games pretty much what it is at this point. Acceptance is necessary.

I really don't want to call the game bad, because I have played much worse, but when you know that this is supposed to be a Halo game, a franchise that has set a standard of excellent amongst console shooters, and have four games that came before this one (CE, 2, 3, Reach) who all to what I would consider to a large degree upheld that standard it's hard for me to sit her and give this game any sort of praise. 

I said it when we saw the first pro match up of this game; it wouldn't be enough to give us things like fair starts, low aim assist, good ranking system, and arena maps (which I have yet to see any of. Making a map inside does not qualify it as being an arena map) when it would be covered by layer after layer of nonsense. 

Sprint, Chamber, and Thruster are the three primary offenders to me. Too much defense in the hands of the player. It extends kill times to an intolerable amount and makes passive play the only way to play on a competitive level. It's always been a trend since the Halo 2 to lower the power of the individual player but now it's gotten to the lowest point it's ever been.

There's next to no incentive to move around the maps and probably won't be. I would be shocked if there was a camo or overshield that worked in this game much less appeared at all, 343 for whatever reason seems to not believe in them.

The maps? Like I previously mentioned these aren't arena sized maps. It's an insult to call Regret and Truth Midship inspired, nothing about these Maps lend to it outside of artistic design. The amount of cover on these things is insane, coupled with the defensive nature of the Spartan abilities just leads to pop and shoot gameplay. Shoot a guy twice and watch him thruster behind a corner or Sprint away. As far as Clamber goes? This isn't something new to Halo, you were always able to get up to places that base. Movement/jumping didn't allow, but they actually took effort. Crouch jumping, nade jumps, etc etc as opposed to just pressing a button to climb a wall. Clamber isn't opening a whole new dimension, it's just taking away from another core element of this game and spoon feeding people. Not to mention it quickly negates height advantage. You can get from the bottom to the top of any map in like two seconds cause they're putting ledges to climb up on everywhere. 

I can't really be mad at anyone who likes this game, but it's shallow and vapid. It's fun for like three games at a time until you start noticing all the ridiculous things that happen game after game. 

They make the claim that they want to take this franchise to new levels and are taking it back to its roots but if this was really do they wouldn't continue to just pull things from other games and throw them into this one, when Halo isn't even like any other shooter out there. They wouldn't release games where the most significant feature doesn't work a dozen different ways and then when it's made clear to them by their own fan base write it off as "self section bias" when they even played a part in polling the people...

But at this point it's to be expected from them, these are the same people who added Sprint to the game again, the same people who took all the weapons off of all their maps and created personal ordinance drops in it is place and totally removed one core element of the game (establishing map control for power weapons) as a result. They added flinch and removed descope to the game so steady aiming became a thing of the past and people could get easier kills. HALO now has ADS for goodness sake and it doesn't even stop. At the guns, the Sword of all things has it now.

I don't want to keep harping on things that they put in Halo 4, because one might say that they learned from their mistakes, but they thought that these were good ideas and would make this game play well. They actually thought unlocking weapons via exp in Halo was a good idea for goodness sake. 

I just want a Halo arena game again, and MCC existing isn't a free pass to no longer make them. Idk if I'll end up buying this game or not but the lofty goals they had for this game and the future of this franchise will not be achieved with this game. Continuing to alienate your core fan base to pander to people who change shooters they play like seasons isn't going to work. They'll move on just like they always do, then when it comes time to make people pay money for DLC they won't be around to buy it, and you already angered your core fanbase, the people who were most likely to buy it so they're not around either. I really hope annualizing Halo is their aim because no title will see prolonged success if they keep making them like this.

Being better than the worst Halo game shouldn't be enough for you 343, it really shouldn't. Matter of fact what other Dev out there is drastically altering their franchise to this degree? COD, Battlefield, Gears, and a host of other games all get to make changes to their games while keeping the core gameplay the same, but for some reason Halo is not afforded that luxury. I've never seen anything like this, all under the guise of evolution as if 2, 3, and Reach didn't evolve from their predecessor while managing to keep the foundation of the game the same. This right here? This isn't the same. They bastardized Halo plain and simple. 

It's not even just gameplay that has strayed away from the core, what is going on with the way their game looks. Why must every sunlit map actually blind the player? Why must everything be so shiny? Like they changed the way the Rockets looked. The one gun that that looked the same through all iterations of this game and they just thought "Nah let's just change it, it's cool" that kind of thing just shows little regard to what this franchise once was. 

They're allowed to do whatever they want though they own it. I just wish I wasn't lied to and had my hopes raised for this game "We learned from Halo 4, we're bringing arena gameplay back" "ADS is aesthetic only. You've always had a 'smart-link' to your weapons in you MJOLNIR armor, we're just giving it a different look. If people feel like they have to use ADS because it offers an advantage, we've broken it." These along with all the other buzzwords they threw at us would lead someone to believe that they were actually going to take this game back to its roots as opposed to the opposite direction. Don't lie to people, be proud and initially stand behind the product you are making instead of taking this route then dancing around the backlash.

Dont lie to me and tell me this is an Arena Shooter when it clearly isnt one.

Outside of that I'm glad some of you guys are having fun with this game.
 
Finally had a chance to play Far Cry and that game is scary as ****

there is a reason why h2 and h3 was the number one game played on live until the next title released. as soon as that garbage game reach came out with sprint there was a sharp decline in number of players. competitive or casual, NO one played H4.
