but its not out yet ???
The only problem so far with this game is that you only get XP from specific challenges.It is kinda amusing to me that whoever is in charge of halo can't seem to help themselves when it comes to obnoxious challenges in multiplayer. when seeing the list i had PTSD flashbacks to trying to get halo 3's mongoose mowdown achievement, and whatever they were in reach.
So it doesn't really matter how good you play. :doge
Hopefully they'll fix that.
I dunno that's still a lotta moolah to play one game.There's always Xcloud then... though for a competitive online shooter, probably not the best idea.
We gettin' old Bork
When 343 announced that Campaign co-op and Forge would not be in the launch game, it made clear that the former would drop during Season 2, and the latter in Season 3. Staten confirmed that, with Season 1 now taking place for around 6 months instead of the planned 3, that means those modes have also been pushed back. Season 2 should begin in May 2022, with Season 3 likely to be around August/September.

So no coop campaign till 2022 ( if it even has that for PC )
Does the gameplay hold up, or is this strictly nostalgia?

last time i'm using a hog of war
Maybe 15 hours in. Game fucks. Game totally brings back memories of CE and "we're all trapped on this crazy ring so let's load up the warthog with GI Joe guys and go blow up some muppets"
I've played up to the 3 beacons part so far. Game feels great. Story is mostly meh but it does have its moments. Environmental variety is definitely lacking though. In the past we've had snowy stuff, swaps, deserts, but its all been the same up to where i am.
Everyone playing should pay attention to the grunt dialogue. They have an insane number of lines and a lot of them are quite funny. They're demented little fuckers. :uguu
Game plays very well. Just feels good.Yep you piece it together as you play.
Dumb question: did the last game end on a cliffhanger? Or are we just thrown into a wild situation and the game slowly gives us more info as a narrative device? Because I have no idea what is going on lol. Some ugly ogre man is going on about some nonsense in the video sequences. Master Chief has said a bunch of cool shit, the sidekick dude is pretty annoying
Game plays very well. Just feels good.There is a game's worth of stuff that happens before the start that you slowly piece together. Felt strange to me, too.

Doesn't the Legendary description even joke about the snipers. Another fine job by 343 fixing that issue though.
Then again, why even play the mode if it's obviously broken.
Maybe I just suck but I noticed that it's really fucking hard to take down hunters now. I would use the grapple hook to get behind them but they always will snap to face you no matter how fast you're going. Wound up just picking them off by shooting them in the knee over 5 minutes or some bullshit.Skewer rips through them, but I hear you. Sometimes I could get behind them, but I didn't know how to do it reliably.
Last thing, driving the tank fucking sucks, it collides with absolutely everything in the game making it incredibly hard to get from point A to point b
Not only was the main premise almost exactly the same (Hero wakes up after long slumber and lost battle and pieces the story together through flashbacks) so were many of the gameplay elements.
the lack of visual variety killed the game for me, the way I see it is imagine if every zone of sonic 1 looked like the green hill zone, everyone would stop playing once they hit zone 3 and it's the same old shit all over again.I think the game has just enough story beats and progression (and isn't that long thankfully) to pull you through but its secret of course is that it is actually a first person Spider Man game.
Driving pretty much anything but a Ghost sucks, you get stuck on geometry and flip every 10 feet. The world doesn't seem designed for it at all.
The campaign kinda sucks in general? The open world is totally lifeless, really adds nothing, and the actual "missions" are about as bland as can be.
Also impressed by how absolutely insufferable they managed to make every single one of the new charcters in the game. Fake Cortana's cutesy "lol oops" shtick belongs in some shitty 15 year old Joss Whedon TV show, the Brute dude literally gives you Saturday morning cartoon villain speeches every 30 minutes, and holy fuck the pilot guy - WHY do they think we would ever care care about this dude? I'm a fraud! I'm not like you! You're not my Dad! Please stop. The Bungie games, especially 3 and Reach, had simple stories and chaarcters but such a great tone (particularly relative to games at the time). 4 and 5 weren't amazing but at least they did an okay job on that front.
