forgecast is pointless. "Here's the schedule for these testing lobbies which are held on the same day at the same time every week."

I feel like if I say what you say to my overly-comp friends they would murder me. For a very long time I've actually been quite fond of 3v3. So for that, we share the same unpopular opinion. -1 player from 4v4 IMO allows for better communication and is over all nice to keep track of while still maintaing a player count higher than 2v2. Also, it allows for slightly bigger maps to be compatible as opposed to 2v2 being played on 4v4 maps.
I posted a radical thread on reddit for the lulz https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/4z2lhk/showerthoughts_the_were_it_so_easy_line_is_better/
That's why I don't even bother Halo Reddit. Almost all of the responses are unbelievably stupid and naive, even though you explain your point of view with sense and logic in mind. ^^
I think public prefabs will be bad for the forge community and I am worried tons of maps will just borrow everything instead of being made unique. There are most certainly benefits but I am worried about the side affects they carry. I don't mind seeing **** like couch prefabs or table prefabs being used but I have a feeling I will see a lot of maps use other peoples original bases plastered where they don't belong. What scares me even more is people claiming that they made prefabs.
The "tons of maps" that would be lazily pasting other people's assets onto them will go ignored for that very reason. I'd imagine that the original author will be shown in any group used on the map as well, so that shouldn't be an issue. It's a good system that will benefit the editor far more than it can hurt it. I think we will see people use it for small props and doors more than complete bases and other structures. But if someone wants to copy and paste a Valhalla base on their map or something, then that's cool. As long as they use it in an interesting way. There are plenty of Halo Custom Edition maps that share assets among one another.
Are you MartianMallCop on reddit? Yeah, that place is a joke ahahah! Anyways read this gem: Person 1: I didn't even like the story of 4 or 5 and this is stupid Me: Did you even read under the title? If so argument Person 1: "I can give you over 40,000 reasons why I know that sun isn't real" Me: So deep. I'm emotionally fulfilled. Gimme these 40,000 reasons, then Person 1: ....okay clearly you have no idea what you are talking about Me: You still have to give me ONE argumentation. Why do you think the Halo 4 or 5 story work well. Why do the character development and the story execution deserve credit? Person 1: I just quoted one of the most character driven lines in the entire series. Me: A quote isn't an argumentation. And you have to give me reasons why that line is character driven. In the OP there are reasons. In your comment not. Person 2 (from nowhere): Your opinion is not fact. Stop. Me: Why exactly I should stop? I'm asking arguments to prove his opinion, is that wrong? I have given my arguments in the OP and in the comment. And if it is like you said, that my opinion isn't a fact, it's the same for him. Then why he can say, without giving me reasons, that what I think is stupid? And if we want to extend what you're saying, we can say for sure that your opinion, that my opinion is not a fact, is a not fact. And then? Where do we go? So please, it's you who have to stop. There are objective criteria to judge the script of a game (or movie or book), its direction and its execution. If one person tells me that he likes Halo 4 or 5, it's ok, it's his opinion. But if one persone says me that Halo 4 and 5 are objectively good, without arguments and insulting my intelligence too, well, what should I do? If you look my successive answers, I behaved too well. And these guys are even sooo lucky that english isn't my first language
I see what you mean. As someone who has had their creations stolen and claimed by others as their own property, this can be an enormous and aggravating issue. But like A 3 Legged Goat said, the original creator's names will likely be displayed. For example: WyvernZu made her fantastic Flood template. I've been wanting to make a map with aspects from it in another canvas, but can't. If WyvernZu were to make, say, the Flood Tank form she has in her template a public object, I would be able to put those in locations about the map. The same applies to the Flood pods and such she made. The system will have its ups and downs, but if it has the right things in it, it should be an overall boon to the Forge community.
Yes this is definitely true, my only worry is that someone would build a magnificent center piece for a map and someone would download the map, steal it and they would be praised for making it, the thing is if someone ungroups the prefab it will probably not have your name anymore unless it would be impossible to ungroup prefabs. Im being a bit parinoid though as I am worried about something that will probably rarely happen. Simple things like flood objects or forerunner asthetic is one thing. Now that I think about it more you probably will only be able to prefab things on your personal maps or download ones others make public on purpose, which would be great. I will keep my fingers crossed that a system is in place.
Uhmm, are you serious? This is Martian, and this. So most likely he's going to have the same name on Reddit, riiight? Come on, man, I would never change my name to MartianMallCop (Nothing against you, Martian ^^). In fact, I don't even own a Reddit account to be honest.
Oh I have another good one The Halo 4 story is the most overrated story in the series. People tend to criticise the gameplay but like the story. It handles all its characters badly. Cortana is a princess peach on a period who needs her big strong Cheif to save her. Compared to Halo 1-3 where she is very much a mother figure to Cheif and strands herself on High Charity knowing what will happen. Going Rampent is just an excuse the lore junkies and 343 use for the complete about turn of her character in Halo 4. Halo 4 undeniably shoves a more romantic connection between the two, intentionally or not, and is certainly not as purely platonic or motherly as Halo 1-3. Cheif has no memorble lines, but I suppose most of the characters are forgettable. Didact is a complete waste and is basically a bad Sith Lord Cut out villan. I don't care what the books say about him, in the game he is ****ing awful and boring. There is no character Arc, no real reason for his motivations, just I wanna make Promeatheans. With the Gravemind, we know sentient life is food, and he craves knowledge and power. The Didact could have been more intresting Palmer says "I thought you'd be taller" and thats all I need to hear to dislike that character Lasky is dull del Rio is the one memorable character. He is so over the top its funny, and Actually kinda works. "I ORDER YOU TO SURRENDAH DAT AI" Halo 4 really wasn't a good Halo story either. As a standalone, it's Ok, continuing from what is established, its overrated
Thank you. Bugs the **** out of me when I hear how great the Halo 4 story was lol maybe for a 3rd grader who just wrapped up the Harry Potter series
the only good thing about halo 4's campaign is that 343 made it edgier than the past games. sometimes it worked and other times it was trying too hard, like a star wars fanfic that allows sam jackson to say 'mothafuckas' in the jedi temple knowing full well that george lucas never would have let him say that. also cortana was hnnnng. **** bungie's pygmy doll model, and whoever decided to put her in a leotard for halo 5.
The weapon sandbox in Halo 5 is one of the worst Halo has had. the majority of low tier pick ups are just upgraded easier to use versions of the Starting weapons. This makes for very dumbed down gameplay and Halo 5 basically plays like AR starts Halo 3, as people pick up a better utility weapon than people spawn with, and the players spawning in can't match these engagements with what they spawn in with, just like Halo 3 AR starts (admittedly to a lesser extent, but it is a similar effect) Low tier pick ups should not be functional upgrades
