Halo |OT2| Forging Ahead

In my experience about 10% of my matches my team stomps quickly, 10% is the opposite where we get slaughtered at spawn

The other 80% are the closest, most down to the wire, sweatiest games iv ever played in Halo lol

Without bitcoin investment, it’s the released trailer right on schedule.

I would like some single player love that’s all.

You’re not the only one by a long shot, but I wouldn’t go expecting random single player news as part of a season update. That’s an E3 announcement if anything existed and it hasn’t sounded like it would be soon if there was something.

They gutted the writing, art and animation departments back in January… At the moment the studio is focused on multiplayer and the next single player campaign, whatever shape it’s going to take, is only in pre-production.

Exactly

People shouldn’t be expecting anything Campaign related to Halo until next gen

343 aren’t gonna have one anytime soon and even if somehow there were other studios doing spin offs, they’ll still be years and years away with how long it takes to make games now, it is what it is

Yeah, it be nice to get some single-player news soon though.

I agree it would be nice, but it also is EXTREMELY unlikely that we’re going to hear anything in the next year or 2 so I’m not expecting it.

It’s sort of how I’d like Fable to come out this week or perfect dark… I’d love it but it isn’t happening.

I’m not on about a new game just would have liked some DLC

oh man, firefight is so fun.

It’s very fun, although I’m finding it a bit too easy, maybe the map plays a factor but so far it’s a bit easy

Kinda hope they add a ā€œforeverā€ type mode as well, maybe make it so there’s limitless waves with each one getting progressively harder and as soon as the enemy captures 3 waves or maybe even just 1 wave it’s game over

I forgot to mention this but over a week ago I had a games night at my place and the focus was to play a bunch of classic fighting games on a 360 hooked up to a CRT TV and with some fighting sticks but I also had my Xbox One and Series X setup on different screens and then on a whim I tried to see if 2 player split screen would work and it did!

So then I had two players on the Series X and two players on the One and I tried to join the same squad and that worked as well. But when we tried getting into a match, it would load up just fine on the Series console but not on the Xbox One. The Xbox One loaded far slower (and it’s not just because it doesn’t have an SSD, I think I did something to that Xbox One when I hooked up and ethernet cable to it while the console was on because of a static discharge and so the hard drive is a bit slower than usual) So we couldn’t play together with that setup.

But then I thought why not try four players split screen on the Series console and that actually worked! So we played duck hunt and some silly forge maps and it was fun. At that point it was late so we called it a night but I’m looking forward to trying that again in BTB and other modes like husky raid so we’re playing against people online.

Used to host 16 player Halo LAN parties and this is a good sign that it’s likely possible on the Series consoles. Though I would need three more Series X consoles and three more 4K TVs, which is out of my price range for the next few years. It’s really too bad that none of my friends, most of which had Xbox One consoles, have Series consoles.
