Anyone excited to see an active Halo PC community?
Reach was when the abilities started getting a little too crazy, but the campaign/customization/modes were really fun, and it was the last Halo that had me coming back regularly.
Seeing as it's $10 and on Steam+Gamepass I hope it sticks as hard as CE did.
Reach mp was the worst.
Time to finally play Reach campaign!
Someone teach me how to play fps with thisAs far as basic tips to get gid with FPSs:
Set the Windows Mouse Sensitivity slider to 6/11. Disable Enhance accuracy. Disable smoothing.
Set your mouse's software to 800-850 dpi. Change your sensitivity accordingly through the game settings.

Installed it on gamepass. Hit PLAY and nothing happens. Game won't boot.
Good to see this long long process to get the PC version up to speed was worth it!
i get why they launched on pc with reach but also why did they launch with reach?They're being released in story order: Reach, 1, 2, 3, 3:ODST, 4.
The sound barely working is cracking me up; like seriously.. 343i is a bit of a fucking mess.What is even the point of this shit?
They should ditch the dual-engine approach; I have to imagine that's a huge part of the problem here.
Wait this being released in a specific order? That's stupid. I wanted to get this and play Halo 1. I've never played a Halo game outside flirting with multi when it first came out and wanted to go through the campaign. I avoided Halo because I was an elitist jrpg gamer back then and wanted to give them an earnest shot. Releasing them incrementally is stupid af.
Halo was the first time I remember gamers ridiculously blushing about how amazing a game's story was. It was when I realized most gamers huff paint.

It's because the average age of someone playing Halo was 10.5
Yeah online discussions about games used to skew younger; but I was like 21 and plenty of people my age or older gushed over that crap.
And today they gush over shit like The Last of Us, plenty of grown ass men bragging about how it made them cry.
Single player with mouse and keyboard. Gonna try it with a controller too, but I doubt I'll like it.
Played one match of slayer, but couldn't find another game within 2 minutes and stopped trying. :idont
How is Halo single player unique thenThe original was one of the first FPSes to take a rather true sandbox type approach to enemy encounters. Once you land on the Halo, it's not open world and it's certainly not non-linear, but when you get to the encounters you have more freedom than you traditionally did along with AI fighting alongside you that's simply not scripted. You might fight guys to the north of the building with a rifle and I might be taking them out on the southside with nades and melees.
i always read that goldeneye let you plug in two controllers and use two sticks to move/look. never had a 64 so never tried that but pretty cool if it actually worked well.Perfect Dark also allows this. Dude and commentary is lame but he actually shows his hands operating both controllers unlike most other videos that are just gameplay or show the persons face lol

On consoles especially this was rather groundbreaking, in part because it took until the Xbox's power to pull it off, PC less so but it was still an iteration further.
wasn't that already the plan? Aoe2 remaster was on Steam at launch just recently so I assumed they were just putting their stuff everywhere right away.
Halo Collection get.
Halo Collection get.
Gimme that tag boo!
Will wait to see if it's shit or not.
bought CE on steam
never played the MP much outside of 4 player splitscreen on og xbox
its pure chaos but also :lawd :aah
don't make 'em like the used to
Also FUCk buying the whole MCC collection. I don't want Halo 4 to infect my library. lick my ass 343
Wait. I can't tell from your post. Are you playing Halo: CE for the first time ever? The first half of the game is so good. Yeah, landing on Halo for the first time was a really cool moment. Heck I'd say it still has its charm even if someone were to play it for the first time in 2020.
Halo
So anyone can give me 1 (ONE) good goddamn reason why i can't play Halo (Reach or otherwise) in local coop, on PC? >:(

Apparently it's tab. Neat.
Well, that's fucking dumb but not surprising given 343.As dumb as Bungie on Halo 2 Vista and Gearbox on Halo 1 PC (2003).
how do i play red vs blue
and will someone play halo ce mult with me
I haven't played Halo multi since high school. For all I know, red vs blue was a mode.

I hope that's patched in though. For completionist sake. I probably won't hook up a desktop to a TV ever, but maybe a laptop on the other hand...

I don't recall Halo 2 Vista being too bad. But I do recall Gearbox's port of the first being pretty bad with some things (in graphics).

Same with left 4 dead on pc..
Is Halo 1 a non-buggy port yet?
has 343 done anything right since they've taken over halo? :lol
Is Halo 1 a non-buggy port yet?
No. Sound is supposed to be fixed with spread next week when Halo 2 launches. Remains to be seen. :doge

OK, back to forgetting about this.
The sun is not rendering on most maps and missions
With the Scarab Gun skull active, a hardlock can happen when firing a plasma rifle after swapping weapons with an Elite
Performance lowers during games of 3 plots
Team Spawn system does not have parity with original
Bullet registration is not in parity with the original
Users on AMD hardware may encounter missing and/or flickering textures across campaign (such as the Elevator on Oracle)
When using a Ryzen 5 and AMD GPU, large rectangle volumes appear on the mission Oracle
Enemy Elites do not dual wield in the Campaign
Why rush out the game when it has some pretty obvious issues and not minor things you wouldn't notice unless you were running OG Halo 2 on a TV next to your PC monitor? Nobody cares about when these games come out. They just want them to to be nearly perfect.
Gaahh.
343 sucks. :-\
Because folks wanted 2-3 over Reach-CE, but they're doing it in time-line/lore order instead of popularity or release order. :doge
only problem is that controller is far better on this game than mouse and keyboard it's actually hilarious the difference

Supposedly they "fixed" that, but I dunno. Given they haven't fixed audio issues, broken achievements (some not in sync, aka: only on Steam or the X-box app), the bullet register being broken in CE past 60FPS (hello Pistol spread), 2 (hello not hitting where you're aiming), the lag, no server browser (CE and 2:Vista had this, shit 3/Online/El Dewrito did as well!)... I wouldn't be surprised they haven't.
Which reminds me. I can't make binds multiple of the same key. I get why in some sense (some PC players may not want that, I don't generally) but stuff like picking up a gun and now with 2/3 having Dual-Wielding, you have an entirely separate key for dual-wielding and it's like "why? Why can't I just have it be a long-press or something a la the X-box controller?"
[Probably because Keyboard is digital, but jesus: High-jacking is E, interacting with something like the EMP in H2A is F... it's a mess]
So yeah. I think H2C is busted right now. As much as I don't like the Halo 4-isms in the Anniversary remakes, it plays more solid with the BR (for me). But Ghoul wanted to do Doubles and like 4v4 instead of 8v8/Big Team so... :doge
Man. Reading about this is such a bummer.
It's the MCC on XBone all over again. :'(
I just never liked big team because of the fuckery that is tanks etc.
Halo 2 didn't have Bumper Jumper, being original X-box. :dogeI just never liked big team because of the fuckery that is tanks etc.
>buys a sandbox shooter
>doesn't want to play in the sandbox
:drakewtf
I really enjoy Big Team, despite some of the bullshit with it. Objective modes just aren't the same with a smaller number of players.
A mere 13 years on from its initial release, Halo 2 has been re-released on PC as part of The Master Chief Collection - an ongoing enterprise that has attracted as much criticism as praise. So how does this port from the Xbox One conversion of Saber Interactive's Xbox 360 original fare? What extras does it bring to the table, how well does it run - and does it manage to avoid the problems and issues of some of the other games in the PC collection?https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2020-halo-2-anniversary-pc-master-chief-collection-analysis

Excuse me, wat?
Seriously... WTF are they doing at 343i?
Halo Infinite is going to be a disaster...
Can't wait for another round of "It's bug free, launch it!" *launch, bugs that weren't in flight show up, audio still isn't fixed, broken achievements, shotgun shooting the floor gets you kills [which I abused. :shh ] *
Halo 3 has always felt like a garbage mud monster when it came to multiplayer. Fantastic campaign, abysmal multiplayer. People loved it, but there's a reason why CoD4 was so popular. :lol
Who cares about 343's bullshit? I'm talking strictly Bungie and the multiplayer is the star of those.
I have absolutely no faith in 343, and yet somehow I think there's a chance they have made decent multiplayer given that it is at this moment the most expensive videogame ever produced.Is it the next derivative crap kids like or thing that makes old people angry? ???
Is Halo Infinite going to be the next Fortnite or the next Rise of the Skywalker?

Secondary Weapons do not reload in Halo 3 while dual wielding. Halo 3 introduced per-weapon reloading (compared to Halo 2, which only had a single reload action for both weapons). Both Controller and M/K support this by having the “reload” functions on separate keys. Check the “controls” page for your input of choice to find out where it is bound (on M/K, this is defaulted to the “F” key, but can be rebound).
Throwing equipment or a grenade in multiplayer sometimes results in multiple objects to be thrown. Our team is aware of this and continuing to investigate potential causes and fixes for when this occurs. We hope to have more on this in the future.
depends what time as I work in the week and time zones etc! IF I'm on for sure, also how do you unlock flaming helmets?
Ghoul-kun, later today help me with the 3 co-op in Halo 3 so I can get the banner and do the Reach Easter egg. :doge
Users who are at non-16:9 aspect ratios, extended FOV, and/or centered crosshair will occasionally see through the ODST’s body at certain angles.
Often, repeating voice effects can be heard from either Covenant enemies or player actions.
Phantom becomes stuck on the environment, blocking match progression.
The inclusion of our new expanded game modes exposed this as a legacy bug in title (likely as Halo 3: ODST Firefight in Legacy never expected troopers with infinite-ammo rocket launchers!)
We’ve resolved this in the interim by removing game variants where this exploit is easily reproducible on impacted maps (Fiestafight, Rocketfight, etc.), however this will still be possible in custom games.
Should I play Halo 4 when it finally comes to PC? I've heard it's better than Halo 5...
