ce, one of these three:
silent cartographer
truth and reconciliation
assault on the control room

if i had to pick one i'd say truth and reconciliation

# versed holly How come my settings on Infinitr never save

So... Quick cursory search, don't think it'll be the most useful but it's worth a try; Screenshot your ideal settings, then copy, paste, then modify your SpecControlSettings.json file. This should be in your C: drive or wherever you have Halo Infinite saved under \Users\PC\AppData\Local\HaloInfinite\Settings, in that order.

#

SpecControlSettings.json is where your files should be saved for controls, so modifying that should keep your settings modified in turn.

#

Probably The Covenant from Halo 3
Silent Cartographer from CE
Or the boss battle against the super cool Elite from Halo Infinite

solid canopy
#

I think for me it is Composer from Halo 4

#

It has a great flow to it, with tons of fun encounters and great dramatic moments. Not to mention a lot more Bungie-esq attention to detail.

#

Honestly, if Halo 4 was that good consistantly it would rank way higher in terms of gameplay.

civic sundial
#

Halo 3's The Ark, Halo 4's Forerunner, Halo 5's Swords of Sanghelios or Halo Infinite's Pelican Down

solid canopy
#

The Ark is also a very good pick

#

If I were going down a list for each game it'd be-
Silent Cartographer
Delta Halo
The Ark
NMPD
Long Night Of Solace
Composer
Battle of Sunaion
Pelican Down

Aotcr(in spite of the identical sections)
Tied between Gravemind(partially held up by breaking benjamin) and Uprising
The Ark(the obsolute peak of halo mission design, there are few others that provide the shear amount of variety and choice while still making it feel like one level. 10/10 you can ram the brute chieftain at the end with a chopper the forerunners made the doors to fit it perfectly)
Cleansing(depending on how long you take to beat this one space folds in on itself and the crust of the shield world can be many times thicker than it appears)
Mombasa Streets
New Alexandria
Reclaimer(not a fan of the slingshoting of the unsc from last legs to powerhouse in less than a decade but the bigger elephant makes me happy, also reminds me of gears2)
Never got a xbox1 but the sanghelios mission looks visually quite nice even if i really dont care for the elite designs
Fighting Retreat(the flood feel the most like a flood here)
The Tower(you can get the troophog to the bossfight you just need to believe)

civic sundial
#

The Sanghelios missions in Halo 5 are the best in the game, Enemy Lines and Swords of Sanghelios have a similar visual aesthetic, they do pretty different things and have plenty of good level design which compliments Halo 5's movement mechanics

hey guys i have a question can you still get 100% in halo 4?

# keen lark After replaying Halo 5 I think I actually enjoyed it more than Infinite and 4

I think there is allot to love in Halo 5 which people didn't see 10 years ago (And some try to ignore even now). But I find Infinite is a bit harder to just simply compare due to how different it handles the environment the player explores compared to the older games since outside of a select number of missions, a majority take place within a single large play space

#

Like, I think the grapple hook in Infinite is an ability we should've obtained later on in the campaign than starting with it, as cool of an ability as it is, it does make it extremely easy for players to skip parts of the game without trying

#

At least in Halo 5, the levels were designed around you having the Spartan Abilities at all times, and thus, it felt rewarding to use them to find secrets

keen lark
#

The gameplay in Halo 5 just feels a lot smoother to me than Infinite. Not to say it's perfect by any means.

civic sundial
#

I will say though, I think the improvements made to enemy NPCs were great in Infinite, like Brutes and Elites scavenging more powerful weapons off the ground mid combat or (While rare) Brutes picking up and throwing Grunts were fun additions

indigo swan
civic sundial
#

Honestly I have to wonder how the Prometheans would've been had they been in Infinite, I think Halo 5 took a step in the right direction by adding in the parts you can shoot off the backs of Knights to help them feel more unique, but I feel they were made too tanky to fit the Hunter-like role they were put into for Halo 5

keen lark
#

Yeah they felt like a slog at the end of Halo 4 but were more satifying to take down in Halo 5

civic sundial
#

I think the issue with Halo 4's is linked with how hard it was to get a reserve of ammo due to the amount of reserve ammo being so low across the board

keen lark
#

Something about the gunplay in Halo 4 just never really quite felt good to me

civic sundial
#

Not the only factor, but something that should be noted

#

I also think the energy shields for Knights didn't really flare up enough too, which could lead to people perciving them to be tankier than they actually were in Halo 4

rotund zenith
# civic sundial Like, I think the grapple hook in Infinite is an ability we should've obtained l...

I remember feeling that a contributing factor is how much more vulnerable vehicles feel in the campaign in infinite. Every enemy besides hunters can come equiped with an emp gun, the cliffsides are speaking in skewer, and if you touch a flying vehicle the game instantly spawns a banshee to come chase you down. That combined with the very mountainous terrain just makes the grapple so much faster than driving in many instances

civic sundial
civic sundial
#

And that also works in your favour against the Banished too. You can just EMP everything at long range

#

Honestly, I think they could remove the EMP effect from the shock weapons and they'd still feel pretty unique

#

Maybe instead of EMPing vehicles, they "disrupt" the driving by inverting the controls or something

#

Then you can keep the Plasma Pistol EMP

rotund zenith
#

Apply a slow effect like the plasma rifle in ce mp did to players

civic sundial
#

Or that too

#

Personal favorite is Metropolis in Halo 2
Or the Silent cartographer in Halo CE

solid canopy
#

I have played Metropolis too much to be able to get the most fun out of it

#

It has a ton of cool setpieces, but everytime I play it I just realize how linear and fixed everything is

frosty condor
#

Delta Halo is another favorite

solid canopy
#

Delta Halo is so good

#

It's probably tied with Composer and The Ark for favorite level

I can’t argue with these choices that’s pretty damn good.

# solid canopy Delta Halo is so good

I love Assault on Control Room in CE. It's the one level that basically has everything in it. You have a chance to use all vehicle types, all weapon types, and it has my favorite track in it, "A Walk in the Woods"

Hello! Good afternoon. I'm new to the group, I just joined. I have a question and wanted to know if you could help me. I have an Xbox Series X with a disc drive and I want to buy Halo 3 (Xbox 360) on a physical disc. If I insert the disc, will I be able to play it on my Xbox Series X?

I got lucky with hayabusa since I already had 30k points when the operation started, I’ve been spending trying to get everything in the exchange and I’m really close but now I’m afraid to not leave a good stock there because in the past they said everything in the exchange would be permanent

I am gonna make a modern parody of Oh, Hayabusa! by JT Music for Halo Infinite called Oh, Hayabussy! I will need some help. I am currently rewriting lyrics for a modern Halo audience, and I will likely do the annoying vocals myself, but I will need a person to be in place of "Skullkruncher" (I will likely go with someone with 3 syllables in their name). So who'd be down for that? I'd also love help with making a machinima video to go with it! I currently am also just straight using the instrumentals for now, but if someone wants to or can make new instrumentals for it (or simply knows how to do that so I can), that'd be great!

Replaying Shutdown from Halo 4 it's finally hit me what my main gripes with (and I should emphasize this) some of 343i's Reclaimer Saga Forerunner architecture/environments is-
Color and Complexity.
A lot of the environments in Shutdown's spires are all basically a singular light gray which causes everything to kind of blur together and lack some (for lack of a better word) definiton.
Meanwhile a lot of the structures in this space feel kind of jumbled. With the exception of the final area, I don't get the feeling of any of these areas being things, they feel too random and unfocused.
These things paired together kind of add up to a weaker design language.
Not to try and make this sound like a "Bungie good, 343i bad" arguement, but it is worth noting how Bungie did (8/10 times) contextualize a lot of their environments, making them feel alien but understandable. They also would make great use of bronzes, silvers, blacks, and golds with patterns in their Forerunner structures, which are kind of lacking here.
I should say that this critique applys mainly to the Forerunner spires in the level Shutdown as well as a lot of Halo 5's Forerunner environments. And that Halo 4's other Forerunner levels and Locations do a good job of avoiding the pitfalls mentioned above

#

Excuse my TED talk, I was thinking on this and I wanted to put it somewhere

civic sundial
#

Shutdown is also just not a well designed level so you know. Good thing you can skip most of it

quaint mulch
#

Anyone here also think halo 1 is the best game

solid canopy
#

I do think the last two arenas are probably the best, even if the Banshees feel little BS

civic sundial
#

Fair

#

Like conceptually, a level focused around the Pelican is cool

#

It just doesn't quite work within Shutdown

solid canopy
#

I think the Pelican should've been segmented like the Saber or the Broadsword

civic sundial
#

Likely not helped by the lack of enemy variety in the flying sections too

solid canopy
#

They cut the "defense spires" out right?

#

Even though Cortana makes mention of them

#

I can't remember if they are there or if I just skip them

civic sundial
#

You're probably just skipping them (Spires 1 and 2 are the defence spires)

solid canopy
#

Oh those? Huh.
I know there was concept art depecting smaller spires with turrets like the one you see in the Broadsword section of Midnight

#

My biggest issue with the Pelican section is really just how the Pelican doesn't really work that well as a flyable vehicle that functions like a warthog or banshee

#

They had to make odd concessions like having the cockpit open up from the front, the weapon racks on the sides, and the tank cannon on top

#

Not to mention the more boxey look of the Pelican in 4 doesn't make it as smooth to fly

#

Also I feel obligated to bring up how 343i made the mistake or was misguided into making the Grunts able to charge their plasma pistols and also for enemies to be able to supercombine needler rounds at you

#

It leads to certain enounters being more tedious than they should be. If anything, those things should've been a skull you could toggle and not on by default

Grunts could use overcharged plasma pistols long before Halo 4

Halopedia says reach onwards though I do remember having a grunt during the covenant that had a plasma pistol which was glowing then blasted a large shot at me taking away my shield

Maybe it can happen depending on difficulty?

Why did they remove the credits from the heroes s of reach battle pass

Who all would be about having a ranked Multi -team?

I have missed that game variant since the halo 3 days. teams of 3, and there are I believe 5 or 6 teams of 3?

The Commando is such a strange gun for me because functionally, I should like it. It's basically the Halo CE magnum in rifle form. But in practice I feel completely disincentivized to actually pick it up and use it when the role it's supposed to fill is already being used by weapons that have been in use by the series for over a decade

It's not meant to be the CE pistol in functionality

Its kind of like how in Halo 4 you had three different guns doing the same thing. Just not as drastic

#

If the Bandit and BR weren't present, maybe the Commando would've been better positioned as a keystone/jack of all trades weapon

Also as a controller user, I find the reticle oddly small to use effectively

#

Kind of like the gunner on the Warthog

Looking at all the designs side by side, I still don't think the series has quite topped the Halo 2 design for the Brutes.

#

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think when Bungie had to compensate for the armor they had to really alter the design and we haven't really gotten to go back. Ideally we'd get something of a middle ground but things either learn too close in one direction over another if that makes sense

Maybe it's my fondness for Halo 2 speaking, but I really dig the tribal, wookie look of the Halo 2 brutes

Infinite does have PvE, it's called Firefight

kinda wish we had floodfight

civic sundial

That'd require them to design, model, rig, playtest, texture, playtest again, design new systems for Infection forms to work how they do in the older games as you can't just drag and drop the code and make sure they get in more playtesting to get the Flood into Infinite

#

Which for a skeleton crew like what we have on Infinite right now, that's just not feasible

#

odsts floodfight is pretty fun

wraith dune
#

true that

#

imagine a killing floor type mode with flood spartans as bosses

civic sundial
#

Yeah, MCC's ODST Flood Firefight is the best place to go for that experience if you want to fight endless hordes of Flood

#

I'd say it's pretty worth it. Gameplay is solid, guns feel nice, Firefight is a great way to learn how different weapons function and there's a training mode with bots too for practicing

#

EA's Battlefront II is a fun one. Very different to a Halo game but variety is good

Halo Infinite has actually been doing good and is very fun! MCC I would say is better for campaigns and customs, matchmaking is very sweaty on mcc though.

I have my issues with Halo Infinite's restructuring of Halo's weapon sandbox, but I think it was a good call to drop the Magnum and introduce the Sidekick

#

They basically took Halo 2 (and 3?)'s magnum approch and redesigned it to make it a viable weapon it's own, rather having to rely on duel-wielding

Especially having a lot of them.

The easter eggs are just like hidden Grunts or little details here and there

#

Not everything in the mod is my favorite- like I don't care for some of the changes made to the Skyboxes on TaR and Silent Cartographer.

#

Also making the Flamethrower third person is kind of awkward

#

TaR looks too awkward like its all on the top of a single plateau, and Silent Cartographer puts too much stuff around the island (which CE:A did) that I think takes away from the vibe of this single lone island holding ancient knowlage

Much as I didn't care for the changes made to accomodate for the squad based mechanics in Halo 5, I do think the additon of issuing orders would be great if combined with the Marines in your fireteam

After seeing Superman yesterday, it confirms what I would like to see from a Halo game.

Humanity. While past games, we got to save civilians in Reach and ODST. We were still focused on the war for survival.

I would love to see non-UNSC stories about a family’s struggle to seek refuge or perhaps outside the Human-Covenant War where it takes a crew to explore worlds for colonization and mystery dramas where we try to uncover secrets kept away by corporations or shadow organizations.

Not every story can be translated into a FPS game, so delving into new territories, ones that I presume developers at HS have been involved in shipping could be a great opportunity.

Replaying some of Halo 2 recently and the New Mombasa levels might make the best case for why Halo 2 is probably the game in the series that would benifit from a remake the most

#

Outskirts and Metropolis are good levels, no doubt. But they are heavily restricted

#

Everytime I go back to them, the more I can see Bungie's disapointment with Halo 2.

#

Arenas are either heavily linear or scripted. Which might not be bad for the first few times you play it, but eventually the holes get poked in it.

tame moth
#

Isnt it old mombasa?

solid canopy
#

Its both old and new mombasa

#

The Scarab only gets taken down one way, Outskirts spends it's first 7-ish minutes locking you into one arena (if you are playing normally), you are boxed in while driving on the streets or beaches, ect

#

The point I'm ultimately getting at is those sections show a portion of the game that could be improved upon with a proper remake. Make the Scarab more dynamic, give the "Outskirts" a larger play space that allows for more approch, really sell the idea of a massive military fending off an Alien invasion in the way Bungie tried but couldn't do

solid canopy
#

I'd say Halo 2 benifits from a Remake more than Halo CE or Halo 3. Halo CE has some rough edges but is still a certified classic, Halo 3's narrative (or lack there of) is pretty weak, but I can't really point to a level or section of the game that feels compromised besides Cortana, which, one level doesn't really justify a complete remake

Is glass the surface's matter being transformed? Or is it new matter being put on top? superintendent_think

youd probs need massive atmospheric plants like you see in aliens. whatever gases the glassing makes are gonna be on top of the co2 levels from everything burning which will probably be equivalent or greater to those found during The Great Dying

you have to remove the glass and then mess with the surface.

I understand them wanting to make a place for the Avenger in the sandbox, but I really, really don't like how the AR changed in order to accommodate it

Would it be better if blue team were with Master Chief during halo 4 and the war in requiem

#

The Covenant we fought in halo 4 looked stronger which it is possible because of Jul mdama

#

I Guess he taught covenant how to hit humanity hard after he was riddled with guilt after his wife death

rotund zenith
#

i got the opposite impression.
The elites are wearing budget tanktop armor, the capital ships are so badly maintained and armored the infinity can just barrel right through them, they have the least diversity seen since ce indicating their support base is potentially thinner than the real covvie years, and while they did seem to have quite a few corvette/subcorvette sized vessels id hazard that's done out of necessity of the era rather than the desired fleet comp.
Definitely the largest and most capable fighting force of the period until the banished were retconned

the only "slipspace shields" is the normal radiation shielding, and maybe the energy shields do something

#

but the brunt of that impact was on the energy shields and the infinity's chassis

shadow turret
#

There's at least slipspace rated shields, which yea are prolly different, but still

radiant sundial
#

thats, probably just radiation shielding

shadow turret
#

I'm just distinctly remembering a H4 line in the Broadsword mission where Cortana remarks about the Broadswords shields not being rated for slipspace, so they slip under the shields on the Didacts ship as we see them go up, and it enters slipspace

Idk if it’s just me but the Infinite Mark V looks like a younger smaller version of the original Mark V, like something abt the proportions make me think it’s young looking. Would love to see proportions changed a bit so it looks a tiny bit bigger or older, something that kind of looks more like a mark IV evolution

civic sundial
#

Which Mark V? The Mark V helmet from the Reach core or the armour kit based off of Combat Evolved?

#

But also, Mark V has always looked different from Mark IV

stone marten
#

Well yeah ik, that’s my bad, the infinite’s ce armor kit

#

Like ik it’s rly different and weird to want but the shoulders on the mark iv give it a broad shoulder look and makes it seem bigger and stronger

#

But changing the shoulders on Mark V would be asking for a different design

civic sundial
#

Like, Mark IV (While originally appearing in the novels) was designed long after Mark V and Mark VI was designed and appeared in games for Halo Wars. It's ironically pulling more inspiration from Mark VI than it probably should be for an earlier iteration

stone marten
#

Yeah ik like irl it came way later, but immersing myself in continuity it’s funny to think abt

woeful notch
#

halo

civic sundial
stone marten
#

Yeah, that’s fair, I just think the head looks big

#

Like Halo Legends The Package I really like cuz he looks buff as hell and even tho it looks too much like Mark VI to be a mark V variant to me, it gets a pass cuz the build looks similar

rotund zenith
#

i kinda like the idea that for the mk5 they removed a bunch of redundancy and extra nonessential features to slim it down and take the new features and then they realized those were good things to have after chief fried half the components in 1 extended deployment

#

but that doesnt line up with the mk6 development 😔

stone marten
#

Yeah, the simplicity isn’t the issue for me at least I don’t think, the Mark V is prob my fav main armor

#

It’s not that it looks sleek or slim and thinner, to me thats mark vi and mark vi mod

#

It looks simplified, but that tracks cuz low poly art style

rotund zenith
#

the lack of greebling gives it sleek vibes

civic sundial

#

Fair, I think I misunderstood

#

Yeah Mark IV variant but ig it’s also not canon?

Oh? Didn’t know that. I mean like the design ig. But yeah it makes sense that it’s IV cuz it looks tanky

Proto mark vi for black team?

civic sundial
#

Looks like Mark VI, basically a prototype of the Mark VI and was most likely in development in parallel to Mark V

HBL-Issue1-FullPage-BlackTeam.jpg
#

Well, not most likely, was in development in parallel in universe

stone marten
#

Wait in parallel? Like how parallel? Did mark iv take longer to finish?

civic sundial
#

As in multiple projects existing and developing armour at the same time (Also not Mark IV)

#

The Mark VI is basically the cumulation of both Mjolnir Mark V and Mjolnir Black's successes

I don’t know much about Jul mdama’s past but i remember it confirmed he has a wife and two kids

#

But I think the UNSC killed his wife

#

And that left him furious he thought of himself powerful to lead all of the covenant

#

Which he’s an opportunist not a leader

#

But ever since his death that left the Covenant broken forces

#

Is it possible now his kids will take control of the Covies and get revenge on humanity for the death of their mother and father?

Then he’s probably nothing like his father or the Covenant

civic sundial

Yes

nova basalt
#

Oh my god I forgot that one kid was Juls son

strange jewel
#

I bet Jul mdama is humiliated from the dead looking at his son join Humans side

#

I mean I don’t blame him losing his wife caused him to be the way he is now

#

But he’s not fit to be like a forerunner master

#

Sure he and the didact worked together but he’s delusional if he thinks he can lead the entire Promethean forces

#

Did the didact promise mdama payback against humanity if he was actually wiping out the entire population on earth?

civic sundial
#

I mean, he did lead them during the time after Halo 4's ending and just before Halo 5 began

strange jewel
civic sundial
#

That doesn't change the fact Jul was in command of them in that time period

#

Only reason he lost control of them was because of Cortana going power mad in the Domain

strange jewel
#

I wonder if he was gonna take control of didact ship if Chief didn’t nuke it

#

I mean not that he’s extremely crazy about that

strange jewel
#

But I was wrong

civic sundial
#

I'm gonna be real, it's kinda really weird and we don't exactly know the how she managed to take over them

strange jewel
#

Probably the mantle of responsibility

civic sundial
#

That's a concept, not a physical thing you wield

strange jewel
#

Then I’m sure she has something that Forerunners left behind

#

It could’ve even been left on Requiem

#

But that’s a stretch

#

If Forerunners left some kind of mantle to take control of the Prometheans then that could explain how Cortana took control of em

civic sundial
#

Again, the Mantle of Responsibility isn't a physical thing, nor was it a Forerunner creation

strange jewel
#

No not the mantle of responsibility

#

I meant something else

civic sundial
#

Best guess for how she took over the Prometheans was by accessing their data centers (Wherever those were) and convincing them to switch sides

strange jewel
#

Well what ever reason she not controlling them anymore and the Prometheans are probably in hiding

"Slop" implies that it is something made without any real care or effort, completely disposable and forgettable

There is a lot of effort and care put into the mod. I just don't know if blends completely well

I oddly prefer the mod's Commando rifle to Infinite's

Oh! I know which mod this is! It's the one where they've just slapped random parts of Grunts from different games together

Do you think its fair to say that one of the bigger misses 343i made in their transiton was not catering more the Pro/Hardcore scene with Halo 4?
With Halo Reach the social side of the community thrived more than ever with the influx of modes, options, and features. But the Ranked player base didn't carry over as strongly from Halo 3 with the changes made to the gameplay systems in Reach.
I kind of wonder if it may have been better for 343i to use Halo 4 as a means of winning back the pro scene while being able to retain the social side of Reach's audience.
Halo 5 did make a very large push for competitive play, and while it did find some success with that, it was still very divisive. I wonder if they sooner tried to mend the growing divide in the playerbase the long term benifits would've been greater

silent briar
#

kinda, but i feel like a lot of issues started with reach. 4 just kinda worsened it.

#

5 is a whole other can of worms

I think that sense of community will come back in that alleged Invasion Update coming in the fall. They’re finally giving the Falcon. Which really means halo reach style fan made firefights and missions

#

back then, halo was still using third parties for halo tournies for a good period of time, so I doubt 343 were even thinking of hosting their own ones in the beginning years of h4. once mlg dropped halo it was in a pretty low place, but the pro scene isn't nearly as big as social, so I doubt catering to them would've changed things.

#

if you meant ranked playlists, they did have those, but it's hard to find a balance with everything because the social players will also complain if things are catered too much towards the competitive side. We see that a lot with ts2 for example.

# solid canopy Sorry, my wording was a bit wonky. To rephrase my question- do you think that 34...

I think they were trying to make halo in their vision instead of being a bungie clone which is a very tough spot to be in, but it's understandable. If everything worked out, then it would naturally make both communities happy. It's obviously hindsight now, but at the time, there was the possibility that changing the formula could've been a success and the risk would've paid off.
We can't really answer your question because we just don't know. 343 could've tried to ease divides, but maybe those implementations made things worse and we're still at the same conclusion.
