Halo Infinite- The Banished Rise
You can still tell it's being held back due to the cross-gen support. I hope we'll start to see an end to that now that we're a year on from the 9th gen console release.Looks a good bit better. Might not be the best looking game ever, but good enough and a big improvement. I do believe they tried to go for a clean look in the original build but the more realistic dirty look does look better.
Ikr? How is there so much hype for this. It got trashed when they showed it a year ago. It doesn't look much better now. Halo was always a over hyped series to me.
4. People who played the game when it first came out and didn't like it.There are three types of halo people.
1. played halo when if first released and love it both for nostalgia and the fact that it revolutionized fps' on consoles. We (my group) have also generally moved on because Halo stopped evolving after 3 and other games took up the torch.
2. people who played halo originally and became obsessed with it and still think its the best thing ever.
3. people who played halo late and thus never understood how it revolutionized fps gameplay (because every game they played copied halo in some way, most commonly the control scheme). They cannot understand why Halo was important as they likely didn't play many game pre-2001.

I'd disagree with the last line, there is/are zero aspects unique to Goldeneye in any console (or PC) FPS mainly thanks to the odd controller that the N64 had. I like Goldeneye alot, but its a dead end of the FPS genre.4. People who played the game when it first came out and didn't like it.
I played it when it first came out in 2001 and never thought it was anything special. I enjoyed the novels way more than I ever enjoyed the games. I only ever suffered through the games due to how much I liked the story. Halo 3's campaign was pretty much the only one I ever enjoyed. Goldeneye did more to revolutionize FPS on console than Halo ever did.
No your the rare white rabbit that even knows about that. Did you also know it was originally an RTS, then TPS?I guess I'm 5) people who were excited for the game but got pissed off when they cancelled it for PC/Mac and made it Xbox exclusive, and then stopped caring about it.

In my local I think my chem proff and I where the only ones that actually knew about Halo before it moved to xbox.
There was a lot of hype over the original E3 2000 trailer and a lot of sad PC gamers including me, when it switched to Xbox. But it sold a lot of Xboxes and had an enormous impact on console gaming.
I did multiple PC LANs every week with friends and after Halo came out we started doing Xbox LANs and got a lot of people into gaming that didn't have PCs or consoles, but since you can play 4 per Xbox that wasn't a problem.
Even if it was bigger than Half-life was on PC it wouldn't have had as big an impact on PC as it did for gaming in general by becoming an Xbox exclusive.

They opened the beta up to everyone to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series.Looks like multiplayer is up?
Check which server farm you're connected to in Steam. May want to try manually connecting to a different one if you're getting slow speeds from your usual one. I usually get connected to Miami, but find I sometimes get faster speed through Atlanta or Dallas.I tried to download from steam on several different servers and it was only going about 80 KB/s. It was going to take days. Is steam getting hit hard or something? I have gigabit fiber...
I gave up and decided to download from the MS store and the download is almost finished.

Steam always does great with my gigabit. I'm about to test it out with the halo download in about 35 minutes. I'll report back.I had tried Minneapolis and Chicago which were both 80 KB/s. I switched to Dallas now for updates to other games and it went 7 MB/s. But I already finished Halo on the MS Store basically maxing out my HDD speed at 100s of MB/s. When I've put games on my SSDs in the past MS Store and basically every other store but Steam has maxed out my gigabit.
Steam's downloads are kinda pathetic. And don't give me that BS about it being limited by your CPU. I have a 9900k with all cores 5+ Ghz. Steam decided compress their downloads to hell to save a fraction of a penny on bandwidth costs.
If it takes me 10X (or in this case 1000X if I don't dick around with server selection) longer to download install using Steam, fuck that! I'll use something else. I pay for gigabit fiber because I want to be able to play in minutes or even seconds.
Hopefully Halo doesn't have issues when I play later like nearly every MS Store game I've tried has. MS Store sucks balls and is always my last choice, but fuck Steam's slow ass downloads.
The live-action Halo TV show on Paramount Plus gets its first brief teaser
What server do you have selected?Steam always does great with my gigabit. I'm about to test it out with the halo download in about 35 minutes. I'll report back.
Ok I'm back. 70MB/s at the moment. I'm not complaining lol
Ok, Back again. It's done and peaked at 92.8 MB/s
All in all about 10 min?
Then they should step up and support the site. $15 for a lifetime supply of wieners.not everyone has access to the premium section...the same thing is always mentioned in every one of these type of posts
yup, time to pony up for a sub and support the site.not everyone has access to the premium section...the same thing is always mentioned in every one of these type of posts
It say's Atlanta.What server do you have selected?
I don't know why they started doing the one game per matchmaking thing. It was never an issue in the past. Doing it this way just makes it harder to develop a community and make friends.I figured out how to turn on the ping counter, so at least that's an improvement, but the matchmaking is still my biggest gripe with MP. If you are going to insist on using this inferior gateway to accessing online play then Overwatch's model should be the gold standard....i.e. allow players to join servers mid-match and don't fucking kick everyone to the lobby to start the matchmaking process all over again after a round ends, just load into the next damn round with the existing players! For what its worth I have been having a good time in MP, but these idiotic and archaic design decisions are so frustrating when they are avoidable and just slow down the process of getting into a game. The progression/unlock system is also terrible, but seeing as its just cosmetics and I am not paying for it I am prepared to overlook that issue.
YesReading that you only get XP progression if you complete Battle Pass challenges in the multiplayer. Is that true?
I'm probably a bit of all 3 tbh. but I never played that much multiplayer (maybe 10 or so hours per game on average), mostly stuck with co-op and single player. Split screen co-op was great fun though. I always felt the first one was a bit overrated with the levels in the second half being mediocre. The gunplay was good for a console FPS, but not that impressive to people who were used to PC FPS games. Halo 2 was a significant step up IMO with better level design and more interesting weapons. Halo 3 was the last halo game I played co-op in and Reach was the last one I felt was good. Halo 4 and 5 were decent, but not at the level of the Bungie produced games.There are three types of halo people.
