It's time to innovate.
Next Halo should remove sprint.
Next Halo should have loadouts, but only as a toggle/customizable option in customs.
Next Halo shouldn't just have hexagons. It should add octogons and septagons.

Sprint is good. If I want to get to a warthog I can get there much quicker with sprint. Or if someone's shooting at me, I can sprint away. I think it makes the gameplay more enjoyable.

I respectfully disagree. Not being able to sprint makes getting to that warthog all the more important and gives vehicles more value because of their mobility. And it helps prioritize positioning, so you don't have to run away when shot at because you wouldn't have made the bad decision to expose yourself carelessly in the first place. Not being able to sprint makes the gameplay more enjoyable.

I mean we had the Halo CE Anniversary Reach playlist which was the closest we actually got.
It's just that as good as some of the 6 maps look, some of the really important ones look sub-par like Ridgeline. None of them quite look as good as Halo 3 maps either.

You know what's incredibly frustrating is all the assets are available to create something that looks like the left, but plays like the right, in an incredibly lazy and low effort way: you could literally just port Halo 3 and Reach maps and assets into a single engine, maybe mix and match some stuff like Halo 3 spartan models but the better looking Reach elites, Halo 3 AR model, but the Halo Reach Magnum model, etc.
And tune everything to play like CE, both the gameplay and the weapon layouts on the maps

but I've never seen a modder who was capable of restraint, modding always seem to go off the rails in some way eventually, and the stars would have to align for the multiplayer to become active

The usual "your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." situation. Because of this, I'm worried about the Halo 2 Ruby's Rebalanced mod and whatever other games he might do.

I think it's also a situation where a modder wants to show of his skills, flex how good he is as a game designer for the attention factor, so sticking to a homework assignment like "faithfully re-create Halo CE's gameplay" starts to feel un-glamorous halfway into a project and you get SPV3 or that Halo CE in Halo 3's engine project

Here's the lazy man's remake of Halo CE multiplayer

- Use the Reach engine(?) - seems like the best one, although I know the Halo 4 engine is basically the same but a little easier to use(?)
- Port the following maps
H:R Beaver Creek
H3 Valhalla (replaces Blood Gulch)
H:R Sword Base (replaces Boarding Action)
H3 Cold Storage (replaces Chill Out)
H:R Anchor 9 (replaces Chiron - this is the only one out of the 3 and Reach maps I could think of that sort of correlates: it fits the Marathon aesthetic and is a gimmick map)
H:R Penance (damnation Remake)
H3 Midship (replaces Derelict)
H:R High Noon (Hang 'em High)
H3 Narrows (replaces Longest)
H:R Solitary (Prisoner)
H3 Orbital (this one seems like a decent fit to replace Rat Race, having similar multi-tier layouts and claustrophobic inner paths)
H3 Citadel (replaces Wizard)
H3 Avalanche (replaces Sidewinder)
(this is the full original Xbox map list, but you have 12 more BTB maps from Halo 3 and Reach that could be used to fill in the places of the Gearbox BTB maps)
- For models/assets, use the Halo 3 Spartan (maybe use the CE armor pieces), H3 Assault Rifle, H3 Rockets, H3 Sniper, H3 Needler, H3 Banshee, H3 Scorpion, H3 Ghost, H:R Warthog, H:R Magnum, H:R Shotgun, H:R Plasma Pistol, H:R Plasma Rifle, H:R grenade models
(this fills the full Halo CE Xbox weapon sandbox, but of course you could use the H3 Fuel Rod, H3 Flamethrower, and H:R Rocket Hog to fill out the Gearbox sandbox additions)
Use Reach's Anniversary multiplayer gameplay as a foundation and tune everything from there to get it feeling like Halo CE.

It's so tantalizingly close to existing and yet so far

Here's the Slightly-More-Effort-Man's remake of Halo CE multiplayer

Basically the same as this >>503013352
Except with the following extra steps
(oh, forgot to add: use the original Halo CE sound effects - that's what will really tie the whole thing together)

>H:R Beaver Creek needs an adjustment to its lighting, needs to be much brighter to be on par with H1 and H2, and needs a new skybox.
>Valhalla is a good replacement for Blood Gulch, but personally I really like Coagulation, and would love a version of touched-up version of it that could sit next to the other HD maps in the list
>Replacing Boarding action with Sword Base would be a decent move, Sword Base looks great, but it's worth considering remaking Boarding Action because it's so unique. Could make the middle low-G to allow actual boarding action
>Chiron is also so unique it would arguably deserve a remake
>Replacing Derelict with Midship would be a good move, Midship is a great map, but I personally like H2's version of Midship a little better. Would be worth examining H3 midship and adjusting it (lighting, layout) to match H2's more closely. Additionally would be cool just to have a remake of Derelict
>Penance has a few small aesthetic things that could be touched up
>High Noon, the Reach Hang 'em High remake, has a really busy skybox. I'd just straight up replace it with the skybox from Sandtrap or Sandbox desu. And adjust some things on the map to make it less visually busy
>Narrows is a good replacement for Longest, but the H2 remake is a lot cooler - could update that map to HD
>Rat Race could do with a proper remake
>Reach's Prisoner remake is also really busy with too much glowy shit, and the towers in the skybox are kind of nonsensical. Would make several aesthetic adjustments
>Wizard has its Halo 2 remake, which could be brought to HD
>Sidewinder deserves a proper remake instead of Avalanche (and really, all the BTB maps probably deserve a remake)

- There's a lot of maps in Halo's history that would play well with Halo CE gameplay. As BAD examples, I think maps like Tempest or Highlands have too much cover and not enough space for vehicles despite being BTB maps. They would need retooling (mainly removing a lot of cover objects and opening up vehicle space). But on the other hand, Powerhouse is a fantastic map that could fit comfortably with Halo CE's gameplay. Halo 2's Relic would be a great fit both in terms of gameplay and aesthetics. It would take playtesting to figure out which ones actually ARE fun, and not all of them would be. But a lot of Legacy maps, and even some 343i maps could be great with Halo CE's combat
- Personally I think the Halo 2 Spartan player model is the coolest. Would be very preferable to have that in HD than to use the H3 spartan or even a Halo 1 spartan model remake.
- No reason not to have playable Elites. You've got the Reach and Halo: Infinite models to work with. Gun to my head, I prefer the Reach one, but Infinite Elites have a good silhouette
- Halo CE has Campaign weapons that aren't in the Multiplayer sandbox - the Energy Sword, Fuel Rod, and Sentinel Beam. Oh and I guess the Wraith. All were modeled in Halo 3. On top of this, Halo has had a ton of interesting weapons and vehicles. Not all would compliment CE gameplay, but a lot of them would. Reach Grenade Launcher, Halo 4 Railgun, the original Gearbox fuel rod, Reach Plasma Launcher, Halo 2 Brute Shot, Halo 3 machine gun turrets - you wouldn't want to add anything functionally redundant, but there's room for more weapons
- Halo 3/Infinite style Equipment is a possiblity for CE gameplay. Both aren't ideal, and some Reach Armor Abilities should be converted to Equipment, like Hologram, but Equipment is a good addition to Halo gameplay.

The Halo 3 Sidewinder remake Avalanche should look more like this. I swapped its skybox with the skybox from Sidewinder. I also desaturated the map. Sidewinder is actually many shades of gray, where Avalanche is more icy blues and greens. I increased both the black values and the white values to provide more contrast, and create more of the icy impression the original map gives.

Here's a comparison between Halo: Reach's Prisoner remake Solitary, how it looks on the left, and roughly how it should look on the right.
There is so much glowy blue shit all over that map. My guess is that the designers weren't confident in the strength of the basic Forerunner aesthetic, and they wanted to make it "extra" with all kinds of lights and wacky visuals like the rotating prisons standing on impossibly thin spines in the skybox, but the simple idea of the broken window with the ice and snow pouring in created plenty of visual dynamism without going overboard.

>>503040798
The geometry itself is ok. I'd personally remove all the gravity lifts, except the two inside the cave, and clear out some of the driving space, but the skybox leaves something to be desired. The general aesthetic isn't as nice as Sidewinder even if the layout is fine.

I think Halo's impact has less to do with how scientifically accurate it is, more to do with how so much of it is dreamlike imagery made plausible through its sci-fi veneer.

Innovate doesn't necessarily mean add. It's making a change to something already established. And removing something can also create a new experience. Playing with sprint can make you behave recklessly because of the lower risk involved with your actions, but playing without it makes you more cautious, resulting in a smarter, more surgical gameplay experience. In an industry full of shooters with sprint and advanced movement, slowing the game down is definitely an innovation that would make Halo stand out more in a unique and compelling way.

No, it actually does change the pacing. When someone disengages in older Halos, it's slower so even though you lose sight of them when they turn the corner, it's more predictable where they might be when you follow them around that corner. But with sprint, that time they spent around the corner can result in much more variability, they could be in more places than you have time to predict simply because you have less time to make a decision due to the faster movement. It's much easier to disengage with sprint and escape your attacker, even when you both have access to sprint. You have more options and stronger safety net than without sprint.

Somehow it always ends up turning into a discussion about why we shouldn't remove sprint. But no one has really made a strong case for why sprint should have been added in the first place. It's really more just that Bungie added it, so we should accept it as an innovation. But what exactly did it innovate and improve? Did it actually make Halo better? I don't think it did. It was cool at first because of the novelty, it was different from previous Halos. But it didn't make the game more fun. But for whatever reason the devs don't want to let it go.

If you flip that argument, it could mean that you don't like to think about the consequences of your own movement and positioning and want an easy way to disengage from a fight you didn't think carefully about walking into. Of course you have to think about the enemy's movement and positioning without sprint, but it also means you yourself have to be careful and consider the consequences of your actions because you can't just sprint away to safety for free when you carelessly run out into the open. And by having to commit to a fight it means you're more engaged in combat itself rather than trying to figure out how to best run away.

Another argument against sprint:
A lot of times players for sprint will say it doesn't change anything because everyone has sprint. So even if someone who tries to run away with sprint, the enemy can just sprint after him. But sprinting after someone to catch up to them and continue the fight only works in close quarters. In a long distance fight with a BR or DMR or Magnum, it doesn't matter if you both have sprint because the player running away can get to safety faster than you can catch up to them, due to the distance. But that same distance without sprint means that the player has to think twice about running away or even being out in the open in the first place. So in a long or even medium range fight it is safer to disengage from a fight with sprint than without it.

The thing is that there have been several Halo games in a row with sprint. Why not switch it up and remove sprint for the next game? Not every weapon or mechanic needs to be in every Halo game. So why does sprint need to be in every Halo game going forward?

Timberland is a great map. With a full 16 player lobby it's very chill. Perfect for CTF. Its fun to run offense with the sniper, but it's not as open as Blood Gulch so it's not overpowered. Map is designed around teamwork and vehicle plays. It's great. It's perfect for a relaxing game of Halo.
(it's chill nature might have been enhanced by being populated by PC players too)

Problem is it's completely against the design philosophies of both 343i's competitive focused gameplay, and in a lot of ways it's against the faster paced direction Bungie went with Halo 2 and 3.
So with Reach's sweaty gameplay, DMR, and nerfed vehicles, it's simply not as fun, and the map is also over-designed aesthetically with a frankly awful skybox.

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. Every map is designed with competitive considerations, the default modes spawn everyone with the most competitive sandbox-breaking weapon Bungie introduced, everyone gets to spawn with gamebreaking equipment power-items, gameplay is balanced against vehicle use with too many vehicle counters, and again the matchmaking is some of the sweatiest in Halo.

If you're arguing Reach is less sweaty than combat evolved I completely disagree.

Why would you make an asymmetrical map competitive in the first place? Wouldn't it be easier just to make it symmetrical one like a normal competitive sport? You don't play Basketball with one side of the court longer than the other or soccer with one goal area wider. Why does Halo try to be a special snowflake when it comes to its competitive maps.

Just make it completely symmetrical. Competitive settings and maps SHOULD be boring because that's how you keep it fair. Variability is bad when it comes to competitive. The only variability should be from player skill in this case.

Almost every competitive shooter has asymmetrical maps and modes. Symmetry sucks unless you're playing CTF. Both sides having exactly the same equipment means there is little reason to push out and get more, which leads to a stagnant game.

Almost every single 343i map in Halo 4 is designed to be an ultra sweaty symmetrical arena, like Derelict or Wizard, but nobody, not even competitive players, actually likes that shit.

Not him but symmetry is competitive. Asymmetry is not competitive. Everything must be equal to be competitive. No team should have more advantage over the other. No power weapon should spawn closer to one team than another. And any weaker weapons must have copies exactly the same distance to both teams when at a closer distance. This shouldn't even be an issue. The map and spawns must mirror each other exactly on both sides. Simple as.

Yea no that's what people consider competitive. When you go to a professional Football("soccer") game, the games people enjoy are the ones with two closely matched teams and a really close final score because both teams were closely matched in high skill level. When it's one team trouncing a worse team, it's not considered as competitive. Nor would Football on a hilly field be considered competitive.

>Play games that aren't Halo.
I play Chess.
I can confidently say Chess' symmetrical board is a core component of its philosophy, and that game has been played competitively for over a thousand years.
Also: see any competitive ball sport.
Also: see the majority of 343i's multiplayer maps for Halo 4 and 5.

>Because it's a garbage map, but that's besides the point. Reach doesn't have any good maps.
It doesn't have any good maps because they were designed for sweaty competitive FPS players: who want tons of cover so they can disengage from firefights and hide from vehicles, who want vehicles de-emphasized because "they're too heckin' O.P.", and who want either long range weapons or tightly enclosed maps so they don't have to walk very far to get to a firefight.

>>503088474
"Competitive" FPS play is a farce: it's just skill check to whether a player is better at aiming and strafing than his opponent, and on a meta-level a check of a player's map knowledge. You can be really good at those skills, but the inherent randomness of spawning, asymmetrical maps, and the lack of focus in the competitive community on the team gameplay elements of Halo make it really boring to spectate.

There's no meaningful asymmetry. It's nothing at all like an FPS game map with an asymmetrical layout, random spawns, and power weapons in asymmetrical places.
More importantly, baseball also isn't considered as competitive as a sport like Boxing or Muay Thai
>the majority of 343i's multiplayer maps for Halo 4 and 5 are shit
Yea and they're all tight symmetrical arenas designed for competitive players. Reminder that my argument is that Halo CE was designed for casual play. Whether or not Halo CE is played "competitively" (I'd argue this is almost impossible, it's not truly competitive in design) doesn't really matter: my argument is that Halo CE is more casual than Reach, which trended towards the kinds of arenas "competitive" sweatfags prefer.
>Everything in Reach is purposely designed to be the opposite of what competitive Halo is.
No, it's tight arenas, the dedicated BTB maps (ignoring Forge World garbage) are full of cover and de-emphasize vehicle play by not having enough space (compared to maps like Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, Death Island, etc.), there are too many counters to vehicles, the spawning weapon in most gametypes is overpowered and invalidates the majority of the sandbox. Everything compfags love.

And there are still too many counters. Splazers, EMP from Plasma Pistols and Grenade Launchers, Gauss Cannons, vehicle hijacking: vehicles have been downgraded in every Halo game since the first one. Not all of the vehicle counters are bad, but the emphasis has consistently shifted from vehicles to infantry play, which is what compfags prefer.

I'm actually quite good at certain gametypes. Sure I have a minor impairment that makes it difficult to play retarded reaction-time tests, but the only thing you've ever been good at is being a meathead.

Assuming you're replying to this >>503107274

Halo CE had 2 vehicle maps out of 13 at launch. Blood Gulch, and Sidewinder.
However, these, especially Blood Gulch, were hands down some of the most popular maps.
Halo 2 had 5 vehicle maps out of the 12 at launch. Again, they were some of the most popular among the average player.
Every one of the 6 Halo PC maps added in that release of the game was a massive vehicle-based map, and they're generally considered to be some of the most fun - particularly Timberland and Death Island, bringing its vehicle map total to 8 out of 19 maps.
In Halo 2, 4 out of its 11 expansion maps were large BTB vehicle-based maps, bringing its vehicle map total to 9 out of 23.
In Halo 3, 6 out of 10 of its original maps were vehicle maps, and (excluding Forge spaces), 4 out of its 13 dlc maps were vehicle maps, bringing its vehicle map total to 10 out of 21.

In Reach, barring Forge World and its maps maps, you had 2 out of the original 8 maps as dedicated vehicle maps. With the DLC, you had 5 out of 11, bringing Reach's total to 7 out of 19 maps.
This is the smallest proportion of dedicated vehicle maps in any Halo game released to that date, and most of them were dogshit for vehicle combat (Countdown, Spire, Tempest, Highlands, Ridgeline, Breakpoint - really the only good one was the Halo 2 Headlong remake Breakneck)

So no in the only Halo games that mattered, vehicles were significantly more important than Fusion Coils, and Reach was definitely one of the worst for vehicle combat, a move to cater to compfags, and setting the stage for 343i's design philosophy.

Halo CE vehicle maps
- Blood Gulch
- Sidewinder
- Timberland
- Death Island
- Gephyrophobia
- Danger Canyon
- Ice Fields
- Infinity

Halo 2 vehicle maps
- Burial Mounds
- Zanzibar
- Coagulation
- Headlong
- Waterworks
- Containment
- Turf
- Relic
- Terminal

Halo 3 vehicle maps
- High Ground
- Isolation
- Last Resort
- Sandtrap
- Valhalla
- Rat's Nest
- Standoff
- Avalanche
- Longshore

With the exception of maps like H2 Burial Mounds, Turf, and H3 Isolation, and Longshore, maybe High Ground if you don't like the Mongoose, these were all great spaces for vehicle play.

When you compare these maps to Reach, and especially Halo 4, the picture becomes really clear: vehicles weren't the focus anymore, even on maps with vehicles in play.

The main gun is good, but the fire and forget nature of the fuel rod is what makes it so dangerous. You can't be an acrobat when you have to focus on something with projectiles that don't deal splash damage or instakill.

The only reason the Banshee is as good as it is in Reach is because no one on your team shoots at it. Despite having the DMR, Spartan Laser, Plasma Pistol, Sticky Grenades, Plasma Launcher, Warthog Turret, etc. It simply doesn't exist to anyone on your team except you, so you're the only one who will be shooting at it. That's why it seems so strong.

? I don't think I ever said that. If you're referring to earlier, I meant it's not that much different from other Banshees. It still gets taken down by a Spartan Laser or focus fire from several players. And now everyone has a DMR to help kill it faster. The problem is that no one helps you try to kill it. It takes longer to kill a Banshee with a BR in 3 than it does to kill a Banshee in Reach with a DMR. But it never happens because Reach players just seem to ignore Banshees and let them get free kills the whole match. You have better tools to kill a Banshee in Reach than previous games. But no one on your team uses them.

I think it's just exacerbated by the fact that no one tries to deal with it. It's definitely buffed from previous games, but it's still a Banshee. It's still made of paper. If people could just look up every now and then and shoot at it, maybe it wouldn't have so much free reign the whole match. Like, just help me shoot it down. Why would you grab the Spartan Laser and use it on players running around when there's a Banshee still alive on the other team. I think that's more frustrating than the Banshee itself.

I don't know if it's the playerbase or what, but in 3, even when the enemy team gets ahold of our Banshee and runs off, neither of the Banshees stay alive the whole match. And it takes longer to kill it with a BR individually, but most of the team does try to shoot at it, and maybe someone gets a lucky stick. But they're going down sooner or later.

With Reach, everyone has a DMR which is stronger than the BR and more range. I kept getting killed by one Banshee, but after only a few deaths, I was able to get it on fire and smoking. He would quickly target me once I started shooting, but I was clearly doing damage over time. If my team helped me even just a little bit, we could have taken it down quicker instead of it just flying around getting free kills. There's no excuse because everyone has a DMR. Yeah, the Banshee is stronger than in 3, but it's not invincible. And in 3 we didn't have a DMR or a Anti-vehicle Sniper Rifle. The bigger issue is that no one cares, and you're the one who has to deal with it alone.

It's probably them realizing the true potential of modding. Maybe they had an initial vision, but then they realize what they can actually do and then get inspired and become more ambitious. They're not professional devs who have a proper development pipeline all figured out and stick to it and treat it like a job, they're making it up as they go along and focusing on the fun stuff. But then they discover something else with their newfound skills and pursue that next goal and now they're way off course. You can't really blame them.

The main problem I've had with Reach's fall damage is that it's too consistent. It doesn't take away your shields, either, it sets them to a certain amount. So if you had Overshield and fell from a distance that would normally take half of your shield, you'd lose the entire OS and half of your normal shield.
And the worst part, this damage is tied to collision so you can't remove fall damage without also removing splatters.

Idk man.
The really important stuff imo would be figuring out how to get the the handling of the Warthog right (make sure it slip/slides around like the original - which honestly they already did with the Reach pickup truck, it handles very similarly to the CE hog), change the way damage works with vehicles (vehicles themselves are indestructible, you damage the pilot directly), fix the blast radius of the frag grenades returning them to their status as mini hand-nukes, returning hitstun to the plasma weapons, bigger blast radius on the Plasma Pistol bolt (and removing its EMP), restoring the AR to 60 rounds, but besides that, and a bunch of stuff that can be easily fixed with Reach's scripting (the timing of camo and overshields, some player physics stuff, etc.), I don't think there's much else I'd care so much about whether or not it was half-assed.
Reach still fundamentally plays like Halo when you remove the bullshit on top of it.

I've had times when I have fallen the same height with the same velocity just to only loose shields and health sometimes (which is a good problem to have for sure, but it is still a sign of a poorly designed system).
>It doesn't take away your shields, either, it sets them to a certain amount. So if you had Overshield and fell from a distance that would normally take half of your shield, you'd lose the entire OS and half of your normal shield.
This is the most comedically awful implementation of health subtraction I've ever seen from a AAA video game.
>And the worst part, this damage is tied to collision so you can't remove fall damage without also removing splatters.
This is rather short-sighted, but I don't think it is bad outright. If fall damage is not intended to be removed or modified once it is fully implemented, then taking shortcuts like this makes complete sense.

The evolution of Vehicle counters in Halo

Halo CE
- Vehicles are indestructible, but pilots take damage directly. This is actually the ideal system for GAMEPLAY, even if it makes less physical sense, because vehicles become an asset you don't want to lose in enemy territory. Losing your warthog/ghost/banshee near an enemy base means you've given them that asset, like dropping a power weapon on death.
- Rockets and grenades are the only significant counter to vehicles, besides other vehicles: otherwise you're dealing damage with infantry weapons (not as bad as it sounds, because damage is dealt directly to the pilot)
- The Plasma Rifle does hitstun to vehicles

Halo 2
- Plasma Rifle hitstun was removed
- Vehicles are nerfed with a damage system. They're no longer indestructible. This makes team vehicle control much more closely tied to their spawn points.
- Vehicles can be hijacked (this is probably the best vehicle counter added to the sandbox)
- Fuel Rod and Brute Shot were added

Halo 3
- Plasma Pistol and Energy Drain now do EMP damage which will temporarily disable active vehicles
- Trip Mine, Gravity Lift, and Deployable Cover can all actively fuck with ground vehicles
- Missle Pod, Spartan Laser, Gravity Hammer were all added and can fuck with vehicles to varying degrees of effectiveness (moreso than normal infantry weapons)

Reach
- Energy Drain, Trip Mine, Gravity Lift, Deployable Cover, and Missle Pod were removed
- Grenade Launcher weapon added which does EMP damage
- Concussion Rifle added which does low damage but has high knockback: can flip moving ground vehicles
- Plasma Launcher fires explosives and can track moving targets: potential to flip vehicles
- Sprinting, Evade, and Jetpack allow players to more easily dodge splatters, or approach vehicles for hijacking
- Armor Lock gives the user infinite mass, countering splatters and instantly destroying the approaching vehicle. It also has an EMP function so users can run up to vehicles and EMP them

In summary: in Halo 1, the most effective vehicle counter, besides other vehicles, was the Rocket Launcher.

By Halo 2, vehicles were no longer indestructible, could be hijacked, and 2 more weapons were added with knockback effects that could interrupt driving. Totaling 4 vehicle counters
By Halo 3, with the addition of equipment and new weapons, you had 12 vehicle counters in the sandbox.
By Reach, with the addition of some and removal of others, you had 15 different ways to counter vehicles.

The Halo series progressively punished vehicle play with each entry, which made it less fun to play with Halo's most distinguishing feature.

No, I disagree.
Halo CE got it right the first time. In that game, if you die by flying your banshee or driving your warthog badly and are shot down in your opponent's territory, you've given them a vehicle and it's your fault. The limiting factor on the vehicle's availability after losing it in enemy territory is its respawn timer.
This is just like running into opposing team territory with a power weapon: it creates risk/reward tension, and the indestructible vehicles keeps them in play longer (obviously good for vehicle focused gameplay).
I'd argue this is why Blood Gulch is still one of the most popular maps, but Coagulation didn't quite take off. With indestructible vehicles, the vehicles stay in play on your vehicle focused map.

Some other interesting things Halo CE's multiplayer does that was dropped in later games

- On some maps players will ALWAYS respawn in their team's starting area/base. Especially on the larger maps, this creates a much more team-focused game flow
- Power Weapons placed in bases (particularly sniper rifles and shotguns). On maps like Blood Gulch/Sidewinder/Timberland, this seems like a way to let players have some control over the role they will play in the match
- Multiples of the same weapon placed in close proximity (2 needlers to the side of each base on Battle Creek, the 2 shotguns placed next to each other on Damnation, etc.) It's unclear what the design intention was, but the effect is that multiple players can pick up the same weapon type. On Damnation this makes a lot of sense, as the shotguns are placed in the middle in such a way that it sets up a shotgun duel between two players rushing for them.
- Piles of 4 grenades placed on the ground. This obviously plays into the 8 grenade carry limit (4 of each type), and keeps grenades in play longer. Halo 2 stopped doing this despite keeping the 8 grenade carry limit.
- Powerups had physics, and on Rat Race they were placed in holes in the ceiling. They could be reached through the upper tunnels, or shot down into the rooms below.
- Some maps had two-way teleporters directly into the team bases (believe the only other case of this was in the Avalanche Halo 3 Sidewinder remake, but even that didn't have the full outer teleporter path between both bases.

Halo 3...but all existing weapons, vehicles, equipment, and maps throughout the franchise, all rebalanced to fit within Halo 3's sandbox. Any equipment/abilities that affect individual players only are either nerfed, limited use, turned into powerups, removed, or relegated to customs and special game modes only.

Not them, but if CE had destructible vehicles it would be more fun than without destructible vehicles. Especially because they respawn in a convenient spot instead of in the middle of Blood Gulch where it becomes impossible to approach them. It's also more satisfying for both the driver and the shooter when the vehicle blows up. When the vehicle just falls out of the air or stops moving it's not as satisfying compared to being treated to a big explosion and the silly debris physics ejection like with later games.

I started watching Hardy LeBel's game design school videos. Apparently his original design during Halo CE development for Sidewinder had the 2 way teleporters into the bases. Each route, the teleporter route, the "middle maze" in the center as he called it, and driving a warthog through the canyon, was timed to take the same amount of time.
An office-mate convinced him to remove the two-way teleporters into the bases because he thought it was unfair, against LeBel's judgement.
Then when the game was out on Xbox, people found the exploit of shoving a hog into the base entrances which significantly increased the difficulty for attackers without the 2-way teleporter.
So the PC version is actually LeBel's original design.

Muh Tempest edit. Was going to draw on the map, but I figure I'll just write this instead. Feeling lazy.
Based actually a lot on ideas in this thread (I've been lurking), I put a shotgun, plasma rifle, AR, Sniper, and a Magnum in each base.
Gravity lifts are removed. The tunnel closest to each base has a one-way shield oriented towards the middle of the map. Just outside each shield is a reciever node.
Sender nodes are placed symmetrically in the outer forerunner structures where the side grav lifts were. Those were also removed. A sniper is placed in each of those.
2 rocket launchers are placed near the middle.
The middlemost tunnels are closed off, and the outermost vehicle tunnels are opened. 2 warthogs on the map.
Turrets are placed in each base for defense.
All respawn points, except in the bases have been removed.
Each Power Weapon, except for the shotgun has only a single magazine (but of course there are 2 rocket launchers, and 4 sniper rifles on the map total - 2 in each base and 2 in each outer Forerunner structure).
No Plasma Pistol on the map now to prevent noob combo and EMP against hogs.

Neutral Flag CTF so the flag is in the middle,
Matches on this map have been consistently fun and I'd say well balanced.
I realize it's hard to describe all this and have it make any kind of sense, but the teleporter network provides a nice way to intercept flag carriers: the route someone needs to walk just barely gives a player enough time to intercept before a flag cap, so that can be quite tense.

It really just needs players. It plays quite well.

No because it is too important. The needle rifle and odst pistol are better because they are ranged precision weapons that are effective against infantry and terribly weak to vehicles. This frees the rest of the sandbox. Halo is at its best when each weapon fills a role.

To be clear I’m not saying to go back and change CE. I like the pistol too. I don’t want to change CE unless it means changing MCC CE to Original Xbox CE. I’m saying do this to a future game.

The CE pistol does not work in modern Halo. The skill it took back in the day was due to most games being split screen local games on tube TVs. It's easy to lead shots when you're playing on a 4k full TV at 60frames.
A lot of the balance Halo1 had back in the day was due to limitations.
I'll tell you on a personal level that in the old days Halo 1s weapon balance was a lot more equal, pistols didn't dominate every single game and map. You can't have the haloce pistol anymore.

I've said this about Halo in general. The games were designed for a very specific setup and when played with modern standards the already pretty poor sandbox just completely falls a part.

Something Balancefags ignore about the Halo CE pistol (including Bungie themselves) is it's just fucking cool
In Marathon and in early Halo builds the Magnum is called the "Magnum Mega Class" (with various numerical designations depending on its iteration).
In Marathon it's your workhorse weapon. A big fuck off revolver. You don't start with a WSTM (Waste 'Em) Assault Rifle, you start with the Magnum. Even in Marathon, its accuracy over the AR made it preferable in some firefights, even if the WSTM was actually more powerful.

Its a power fantasy design: a big fuck off hand cannon from the future that's actually effective and not just a lame sidearm like every other pistol in videogames.
Jason Jones knew what the fuck he was doing.
Bungie, actually Jamie Griesemer himself - all-time great designer otherwise - made the (what I would call) mistake of making the Magnum into the BR: his reasoning being that turning it into a rifle made it less confusing for players. The weapon's power had a frame to match.

I say no to this: if the Magnum has a risk of confusing normalfags because it's the pistol but it's the most powerful gun in the game, you don't change it to look like a rifle, you change it into some kind of small hand-held rocket launcher, or a handheld railgun. You make it into some kind of sci-fi super pistol.
Something that makes you go "oh yea obviously this is the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of a cyborg super soldier"
The Battle Rifle (which is literally a reskinned/nerfed Magnum) was one of the first mistakes of the sandbox. It was a big step away from the power fantasy of the first game.
Much respect to Jamie, he's brilliant, but he was wrong there.

Split-screen on a 4:3 was very different to what we have today. Hell, some parts of the UI was omitted to fit the screen.
The 360 came around HD tv, which is pretty similar to how gaming is today.

So what you are saying is MP should be tossed aside and made into "eh I guess we can toss some MP in" and the focus should be shifted into campaign? Because that's something Marathon and CE have in common as opposed to the rest of Halo.

Played Halo on release, and I play the Halo trilogy yearly on a 360. Also started playing it Splitscreen with a family member.
Halo on console doesn't feel significantly different than the MCC version. It's not like it's a completely different game.
I do think CRTs went some way to helping the games' atmosphere (almost to the point where I'd recommend playing the trilogy with CRT shaders - it's something I consider), and with Halo 1 and 2 you had the duke controller, which had slightly different button placements and the thumbsticks might have been taller than a modern controller.
But I wouldn't go thinking it's so different.

There really was a game knowledge factor to: at release nobody knew the Magnum was as powerful as it was, and it took a few years for people to figure it out.

No. That's not really what I'm saying at all.
I'm saying the weapon sandbox should be fun.
Reminder that in Quake, both campaign and multiplayer, your starting weapon is a grenade launcher.
In Doom your starting weapon was a shotgun.
These were power fantasy choices.

The BR and the Magnum are the same exact weapon. BR is slightly nerfed, less damage against vehicles, but they have the same rate of fire, 12 bullets -> 12 bursts, same damage pattern.
Despite being functionally the same, the Magnum is superior because it's cooler and funnier.

This map and Lockout is only fun for Snipers. No one else is allowed to have fun. In fact, a lot of smaller maps seem to be be custom built for Snipers is most Halo games. Once you get the sniper it's like you're jsut allowed to do whatever you want unchallenged. The only challenge comes from getting the Sniper itself since you have to fight for it. But after that it's smooth sailing.

I just don't like how inaccurate the CE magnum's reticle is. Even though I aim straight dead center at an Elite's head when he's standing still, the shot doesn't land. The reticle makes you think the magnum is more accurate than it is. The reticle should be wider and the zoom magnification should be a little closer/not as strong. It does a lot of damage, but for a scoped weapon its accuracy is unreliable. Sometimes you just have to get lucky with its shots even when you aren't spamming shots. The AR's accuracy/reticle is more honest and reliable.

For me, it's Halo 3...but every weapon, vehicle, equipment, map, mission, enemy, ally, and mode from every Halo game, rebalanced and modified to fit Halo 3's sandbox. Every addition, removal, would be made on a case by case basis, with my personal judgement.

I would even modify existing Halo 3 sandbox elements, such as making Needlers dual-wieldable, or regular Marines being able to wield Brute Shots. I would also add new things, such as the dynamic lighting mod for Halo 2, but made for Halo 3, and make some existing maps larger, such as Standoff and Valhalla to properly fit 8v8 with more room for vehicles. I would nerf the Spartan Laser and Sniper Rifle so that vehicles and players can't be instantly deleted. You would be able to play as a Spartan, ODST, Elite, Brute, or Flood Combat Form.

I would make Halo great again.

Anyway, I want to weigh in on sandboxes.
Some anon posted about the 5 human weapons in Halo CE being like archetypes that show up in every shooter.
I think that's right. Sometimes you don't even see the Sniper - that tends to really only show up in shooters with maps large enough for it to be fun.
But I think if you try to slavishly stick to those 5 weapon archetypes as "platonic ideals" of FPS weapon design, you're going to end up with something soulless and dry.

My core Bangheilios gametype in Reach uses the Plasma Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Concussion Rifle, Energy Sword, and Needler. Players have Evade and 110% damage. The maps I use are all generally tight arenas.
Just made a gametype in Halo 3, a few days ago, based on the power fantasy discussions, that only uses Machine Gun Turrets, SMGs, Maulers, BRs, Energy Swords, Gravity Halmmers, and Flamethrowers for weapons, Spike Grenades and Firebombs, Flares, Regenerators, Radar Jammers, Overshields, and Invincibility equipment. Players have 150% damage resistance.
Made a gametype for Halo 2, Magnum SWAT: no weapons on the map, Players spawn with Magnums, and have Grenade Regeneration and Bottomless Clip. Player Gravity is set to 75%. I turned on the Feather and Sputnik skulls. This combination of factors ended up creating a gametype where players can air juggle players in the air by shooting them. With dual wielding magnums it feels straight out of Devil May Cry. I'm considering adding an energy sword.

These have been the gametypes people seem to have responded the best to, and they're all based on ideas I think are funny

Why? If I have a shotgun and I come across another shotgun, I want to be able to pick up all the available ammo, rather than dump my current shotgun to get the new one. Somebody could then pick up my old shotgun, which I don't want.

Since 343/Halo Studios likes to copy other popular franchises, maybe they can copy Borderlands style reloads where after you deplete the magazine/battery, rather than dropping the weapon or having to reload a new magazine, you can simply throw the empty gun at the enemy and it could explode, or perhaps drop the gun nearby and it becomes a temporary turret, then self-destructs. And maybe for a power weapon that uses this reload system you could give it AI and have it run or fly around and shoot/melee enemies for a few seconds and then charges at them and self-destructs.

How many of you guys are participating? I've never participated before and don't hang out with anyone from here or the discord, so I would feel like I'm intruding. But I wouldn't mind watching the matches if it was streamed/archived/commentated or whatever. I would participate in spirit and maybe play customs on the side with randos to simulate participating.

Death Island is a really REALLY bad and forced map concept that just doesn't work in practice and also butchers TSC's flow by throwing random teleporters everywhere and fucking up the middle of the island.
Danger Canyon would be good if it had more ramps to go back into the tunnels or a fix for the spawns being shit.

He's a propped up barely functioning public puppet designed to shape people's perceptions of intelligence. Just coincidentally promoting the popular idea that intelligent people should be humble and never go against the grain.

Can you imagine how horrible it would be to be truly more intelligent than everyone around you? I'm near average intelligence personally, but like, hypothetically, imagine you're a 300 IQ individual and almost every conversation you have with people is so far below the nuance and complexity of thought you're capable of.
It must truly be suffering for people who are genuinely more intelligent than average, having to put up with normalfag tier mental capacity.

Been experimenting with Reach damage settings
Had the idea to try setting player damage resistance to 50%, while setting player damage output to 50%.
The effect that this has is that players deal and receive damage to each other normally, but non-player damage sources do twice as much damage, and players do half-damage to non-player objects which have hitpoints.
In other words, vehicles have twice as much health (they are nearly indestructible), and impacts from vehicles do twice the normal damage (previously non-fatal vehicle impacts will insta-kill - it's much easier to splatter). Both of these results are obviously much closer to Halo CE gameplay than the default, but with some arguably positive differences: Vehicles are nearly indestructible, but not totally. The warthog feels much more like the hardy Halo 1 warthog in how much damage it can take, but you still get to see it taking damage and eventually blow up. Also, in Halo 1, players touching any moving vehicle from any angle seemed to result in a splatter, but with the damage system of Reach, and with this damage tuning, the vehicle still has to have momentum against the player. You're not going to touch it from the side and die while it's moving forward, even if you're twice as likely to die taking frontal damage from a charging warthog.
On top of this, players driving or riding in vehicles seem to take normal damage, meaning small arms weapons fire is still effective against passengers and pilots.
I decided to use the Anniversary Magnum settings (or an approximation adjusted for the 50% damage resistance value), meaning it's a 3 shot kill (if the last shot is a headshot/does bleedthrough) AND should be an effective weapon against vehicle users like the original Magnum.
In short this is a huge step towards getting Reach to play like Halo CE in custom games.

Needs more testing to make sure there aren't any game-breaking kinks, but I've tested these values in Firefight and in a custom game with randoms

I'm purely making a gameplay argument. There is no actual logic behind it other than Halo is more fun when every weapon and vehicle is disposable. Seriously try it. Play Pillar of Autumn all the way to Assault on the Control Room. This applies to any difficulty. Don't seek or worry about ammo. Spam power weapons. Use them up as quickly as possible. Use your grenades like crazy. The amount of grenades in CE is actually over the top ridiculous. Pick up the closest weapon when you run out of ammo and adapt to each one.

>>It's right for CE
With your left-brain computational mindset, you seem incapable of making the leap to the proper conclusion, so I'll help you out: there is no "Right". There is no "correct". There is nothing inherently "necessary" nor "incorrect" about the Magnum, to the Halo CE sandbox.
Another anon mentioned wanting to drop the Halo CE Magnum in favor of the Needle Rifle and ODST pistol. If anyone were willing to code it, and people were willing to play it, this would be a perfectly valid way to play Halo. I personally don't think a lot of people would want to play that version of Halo, because I think it overlooks some key things the Halo 1 Magnum does for its sandbox, But I might be wrong and maybe that's a more fun way to play Halo that people would flock to if anon created it.

>You are challenging my assertion that you believe this.
I don't believe the Halo 1 pistol is "right" for CE. I don't believe it's "wrong" for Halo CE. It's the way Halo CE is, and there's no "right or wrong" about it.
>Strange. Because I think the magnum is right for CE.
Well cool, you can think that, but I think the Halo CE Magnum is fun, not right or wrong. You could replace the pistol with something that functions like it, but say, does less damage to vehicles and still have fun. They shipped that: it's called Halo 2.
>And I made a leap in implying from your post that you think the magnum is right for CE.

Yes there is. There is right and correct. This train of thought is wrong. You have been deceived and that is unfortunate. There is a right and wrong to every situation.

You should constantly pursue truth and rightness in every aspect of your life.
>I think the CE magnum is fun, not right or wrong
If a game's objective is to be fun CE's objective is fun, as dictated by Bungie's "30 seconds of fun" mission statement , then it is right that it should exist within that sandbox. Balance is less important especially in the window of time and the offline platform that CE originally existed in. Not a perfect game, but it is a very fun game. But I don't think the magnum would be fun in a new sandbox.
>Another anon mentioned wanting to drop the Halo CE Magnum in favor of the Needle Rifle and ODST pistol.
That was me. This is something I want from a future halo weapon sandbox, and not a change I would like to be made to CE. If Halo Studios went back and ripped the magnum out of CE and added those, I would be mortified. That would be wrong. I don't want retroactive changes to games (especially classic games). But I would like improvements to an imperfect idea of a franchise to be made over time.
>it's called halo 2
Almost. That design philosophy is attractive. But Halo 2's weapon sandbox has a whole list of changes that I find unappealing for a future title. Lots of weapons lost their interesting perks, dual wielding changed the nature of smaller guns. The melee system was only ever right in CE. And I don't want other weapons to lose effectiveness against vehicles. Just the jack of all trades precision weapons.

But its weapon sandbox is just less interesting. If I didn't love the Brute Shot so much I would actually call the weapon sandbox bad. Another thing but Bungie's version of the fuel rod is somehow outdone by Randy's. He couldn't do anything right yet he just about nailed the Fuel Rod Gun.

Quoted By:

Loadouts have no place in Halo and here's why.

On the smaller arena maps, the game design is built on spawning players with low-tier weapons, which will pull them into conflicts over the mid-tier and high-tier upgrade weapons scattered around the map. This classic Arena Shooter design is Halo's foundation.
You might want to say "Just make a bunch of different low-tier weapons players can choose from!" - which is how you ended up with the Assault Rifle and Plasma Repeater in Reach - but having functionally identical/redundant weapons in an arena shooter sandbox tends to make both weapons seem shittier, and fills the map with more types of discarded heel weapons you'd have otherwise. This makes it less of a power fantasy.

Halo CE team bases in the larger scale maps are stocked, generally, with shotguns, snipers, ARs, Plasma Rifles, Magnums, and Plasma Pistols. Additionally, on those bigger maps, players always spawn in their bases in the team-centric modes.
In the early stages of the game, this is very similar to a Loadouts system (where players are allowed to choose their favorite weapons and weapon combos from among those available), AND it's like a class system like you'd get in TF2 or Overwatch: where players roles in a match will be defined by the weapon they choose.
But spawning weapons in bases like this is a vastly superior system
- You can change your "role" by just picking up a weapon off the ground
- The amount of "role" weapons in play is limited: give the Sniper to your best Sniper. Let the guy on defense grab the Shotgun. If you're doing mid-range combat, grab a Magnum. If you're driving vehicle: let somebody else grab the base power weapons.
- At the same time, when you have a team of randoms, it's a mad dash to grab the weapon you want: a risk/reward scenario. Frustrating to watch your teammate grab the Sniper before you, but satisfying to grab it off his corpse when he ends up being a shitter

All of this is removed with loadouts

Halo should define itself as a sci-fi FPS game with vehicles and grenades and melee attacks, and if it adds a cool feature which makes the games better, then who cares if COD does or doesn't have that same feature

Depends on the game, but usually you never have to use the rest of the sandbox besides maybe power weapons. There's no adapting to what is happening on the field. Only "pew pew pew pew and die".
Hunting for a "better" gun is what Halo should be about. Not spawning and die.

>Macworld Machete
Which is a one hit kill melee but CE's standard no lunge melee that requires the target to be on reticle. Not really a power weapon.
>Sword and shield from the E3 2000 demo
Pic related. Again with no lunge but you poke with a completely extended arm. Alternatively you slash with a very forgiving wide sweep that is at a set horizontal height that can be either jumped or ducked underneath. Shield is just a funny jackal shield that exposes the user with use of the sword.

Well you've overlooked some interesting functions of the Magnum in CE and how elegantly it solves certain problems in CE's system. I personally don't think you improve anything by removing the Magnum and replacing it with two weapons that fill the same role, while failing to compensate for its lost qualities, and I don't think people would leap to play your game. I'm trying, politely, to say I think your idea is shit. Go back to the drawing board.

I agree. In CE... In 2001... In splitscreen. The magnum serves its purpose in CE and I don't want CE to change. But would like future Halo titles to steal from Halo CE frequently in almost every area of the sandbox. All while flipping the whole script by removing what the masses view as the definitive and core weapon of the weapon sandbox and replacing it with two less effective precision weapons. One better in close range. One better at long (and the best looking gun). This is to boost the rest of the sandbox. Other tweaks would need to be made of course, but the core design

No, the Magnum is still fun in 2024, in matchmaking and custom games. Moreso the latter because people in custom games tend to realize they're actually playing with other people, and that the goal is to have fun with other people: rather than being brainless retards who just want to shoot heads.

>Jason Jones was right about the magnum
>You slipped up anon. You admitted it was right.
Your problem is you're a retard who doesn't care to ask what I meant by that, or what I actually think. You look at my words and try to cross reference them and add them up like they're some kind of formulae, instead of having any sense of what I'm actually saying. You're a soulless automaton.
He was right about tuning the Magnum up because Halo is a power fantasy, and turning the Magnum into a ridiculous cannon was a fun choice. Jamie Griesemer, brilliant designer responsible for a lot of Halo's fun, ultimately lost sight of this, and maybe never really understood this, as Halo's sandbox was tuned with each successive game: resulting in a sandbox that drifted towards realism and boring uniformity and too many low-tier weapons.
Obviously having a bunch of weapons that do the same thing works for some games, it works for COD, it seemed to work for the Bungie Halo sequels: but it's worth paying attention to the fact that Halo 4 and 5 bled the fanbase down to only committed diehards, and it's worth asking "If you fundamentally change Halo's base sandbox by filling it with a ton of mid-range headshot weapons which only have slight functional differences, how does this change the game, and is it still really "Halo" in the end?

You're all turbo retards who deserve no respect, and I'm tired of pretending you're not.
The Magnum, BR, and DMR fill the exact same role in the sandbox. They're all mid-range weapons which kill in basically 4 shots with a roughly similar ttk.
You can contrast this weapon role against the AR (mid-range starting weapon which has primary value as a bad weapon you want to replace - prompts player movement into the arena), the Shotgun (close-range 1-hit-kill, but next to useless at mid-ranges), and the Sniper (Long-range 1-hit-kill with less auto aim, making it less useful at close ranges, but trumping the mid-range 4-shot kill).

The BR, Carbine, ODST Magnum, DMR, Needle Rifle, Reach Magnum, H4 Magnum, H4, Battle Rifle, H4 DMR, H4 Light Rifle, H4 Carbine, H5 Battle Rifle, H5 DMR, H5 Magnum, H5 Carbine, H5 Light Rifle, Hi Battle Rifle, Hi DMR, Hi Commando, Hi Stalker Rifle, and Hi Mangler, all fill that same role.
They are not significantly different enough to warrant the inclusion of more than one of these types of weapon in a game like Halo.

You legit do not know what you are talking about. Just because a weapon is effective beyond close range and can headshot it doesn't make it a CE Magnum analog.
Even in games where the BR and the DMR are both present, the DMR is clearly a longer range weapon, capable of counter sniping, while the BR is a forgiving mid range weapon.
Your obsession with making the sandbox as simplified as possible betrays your lack of intelligence. You desire the perfect sauce while the community clearly prefers perfect sauces.

Doesn't matter. I'm right. You're dumb. They all fill the same weapon role.
I've said this multiple times, Jamie Griesemer is brilliant, but toning down the Magnum was a bad decision. Jason Jones was more brilliant in that case.
Every Halo game, from CE to Reach, plays basically the same way: the mid-range headshot weapon role (of which the Magnum is the grandfather) is the weapon everybody wants (if they can't get the sniper), and it's the weapon everyone uses if it's Magnum/BR/DMR starts. The Magnum in CE being a few point-seconds faster TTK doesn't make it better than the Sniper at range, or the Shotgun at close range, and that's all that matters for its role. It's arguably not even the strongest iteration of the mid-range-headshot archetype: that'd be the Reach DMR, with its longer effective range, 3 more rounds than the Magnum/BR, and random bloom spread making it more effective at close range. Both the Magnum and the DMR are effective against vehicles (an important and worthwhile distinction that made the Magnum valuable - being able to take out a wounded opponent trying to escape in a vehicle is something Halo lost when it changed the vehicle damage system) but the DMR has all those additional factors OVER the Magnum, and it's powerful against vehicles using the Halo 2/3/Reach vehicle damage framework (doesn't just kill the pilot, kills the vehicle, significantly impacting the flow of vehicle matches - totally de-emphasizing them), making it much more dominant.

Also it's really fucking funny, I'm realizing this whole conversation you're assuming I want a new Halo game that slavishly sticks to the Halo CE sandbox, while it seems like another anon is arguing for a Halo CE sandbox with little insignificant changes to the formula.
No: you're treading water making dumb stupid changes to a game, frankly, nobody plays anymore.
I believe Halo has had it's time, and it's time has passed....

Cont.

I wish Microsoft would treat Halo a little better, treat it with the respect it deserves, but I don't want any more Halo games.
Hardy LeBel is on the right track wanting to "reboot" Halo, but even that I think that's too conservative: Halo Studios should just make a new game entirely. Start a new series. Tell a new story.
This is something I've been saying for a while.
Halo is not going to capture culture like it did before. Chase a new audience.
No, not the non-existent "Modern Audience". but the young nerdy kids who like, or would like, 80's action movies and cool sci-fi shit.

Jason Jones was, again, on the right track with Destiny, a completely original sci-fi series and that's been a bigger financial success than 343i's "Halo" franchise, even if it's arguably been a popular failure. I'd argue Jason's vision was hampered by what Bungie had become.

But that's what I'm thinking about: That's where my head is.
I'm not thinking "Ohhh, hmm, hoooooh, the next Halo game sandbox should have this many mid-range headshot weapons, that function such and such a way: surely all these minor tweaks to the well established Halo formula will "Save Halo"
No. Fuck Off. There's no saving Halo.
And frankly, Fortnite has filled a lot of the role for people that Halo used to fill in culture.
The only thing that games like Fortnite, CoD, Doom Eternal, Destiny, etc. don't do for people, really, is present a rich, manly, hard-sci-fi universe (in the vein of Aliens/Predator/Starship Troopers/Gundam/etc.) for nerdy kids to skin their teeth into.
There is a vacuum there. Nothing quite scratches the same itch, and there's room for a new game that does scratch the itch. I frankly think Halo Studios is actually up to the task: they're just tied to the legacy of these old games and this fanbase that can't smell the coffee.

I know for gameplay the 5 main archetypal weapon roles work. But I'm more interested in what form they'll take after Halo: if any.

You seem to be arguing that the Magnum "wouldn't be fun in a modern Halo sandbox", but I'm arguing that Jason Jones is *still right* about the Halo CE Magnum.
I am arguing that it *would* be fun in a modern sandbox.
Or more specifically, in this spirit >>503410887 I am more interested in the possibility of the next cool sci-fi super handgun than I have any care about the ideal Halo game weapon balance.
The Halo CE Magnum is cool.
If you don't like it, you're a pissbaby and you don't like Halo.

I don't care about your position, I care about how arrogant you have been about being proven wrong. And how you've constantly shifted the goal posts so that no attention can be brought upon why you were wrong. Reach's DMR and H2's Magnum do not have the same TTK, nor do they fill the same role.

That's one of the things I've said. Not my whole position, but we can ignore my overarching position on the matter that I posted here >>503410887 (which is that I could frankly care less about the mechanical design specifics of any potential Halo sequel - for several reasons, not the least of which being 343i's screwed the pooch every time)
I'm also saying (dunno if I've said this explicitly, but it's there in the subtext - stop reading my posts like an autist) - that the Halo CE Magnum doing damage to vehicle drivers (not to vehicles, but drivers) was well balanced. There is some kind of buffer, where most weapons don't do full damage to a driver/pilot, it's some kind of fraction of the weapon's base damage, but it's enough that you can kill a wounded/unshielded driver trying to make a getaway: without destroying the vehicle.
This is really critical to the flow of Halo CE gameplay, and it's something that was lost in favor of more realism.
What I am saying is that if you had that system - the mid-range headshot weapon deals damage directly to vehicle drivers - you wouldn't have to have all these anti-vehicle weapons, like the Splazer, the trip mine, giving the Plasma Pistol EMP, the Grenade Launcher, Armor Lock, etc. etc. etc. and a more realistic damage system, which de-ephasizes vehicles in the game about vehicles.
All these changes throughout the series that were made to counter vehicles are way too overpowered when you put them in the normal arena context, but the Magnum did the job.
I'm also saying the CE Magnum is a power fantasy weapon: so, separate from the issue of its design specifics, it's core to the fantasy of Halo. You could take the stats of the BR, reskin the BR into some kind of super revolver, and it'd be cooler than the BR because it'd be a sexy super hand cannon instead of a common rifle. This power fantasy aspect, the fun of the weapon design in question, is more important than making sure the sandbox is "balanced"

I agree, and this is something Halo has been missing ever since 2 released. Bungie didn't want people to have fun, so they nerfed literally everything in every single game.

No they definitely wanted people to have fun, and people did have fun, but they got caught up in the specifics of balance and lost sight of the power fantasy. And really the sense of fun in general.
I also think Halo itself (in addition to CoD and videogames in general) created a kind of player who cares more about playing the game well in a rote mechanical sense than having fun with it, and having fun with the people playing it - in a friendly way, not "fun" as in roflstomping.
This problem, of players playing the game for the dubious satisfaction of being mechanically good at a skill that has barely any irl application, to the neglect of good sportsmanship, friendliness, and good play, fed into Halo's design - where the games started being designed for this kind of player who just wants to get his dopamine rocks off instead of really having a good time with people.

Destiny (the less said about Destiny the better desu, it's a sad mess) had a really interesting approach to making players acknowledge each other and have a good time together: it had its raids, which unlike MMO raids, were full FPS action-games mechanically, requiring every player to do their part, and complete different parts of the challenge, with the right timing, the right ... choreography for lack of a better word ... good teamwork: it was a really interesting/sociable new type of game. Shame about the rest of Destiny, but the intentions were clear: and they were really Jones' intentions. A game people can have fun playing together.

I think this is a little saccharine and not really honest about people's true nature, which is why Halo is more interesting to me, but I still think that intention, Jones' intentions, both for Destiny and Halo, are what made them successful.
The myth is that Jones adjusted the Magnum damage so he could cheat in multiplayer.

Correct. With the understanding that its design philosophy does not take into account the last 23 years of changes and expectations to shooters (most of the changes have been bad, but not all). Nor does the original CE take into account online multiplayer. I know a lot of anons ITT like Gearbox's botched multiplayer but it was a bad port and most of the maps were bad and even some of the original maps like Sidewinder were retroactively ruined. Randy screwed up. He always does. Online CE fundamentally alters the game for the worse. Does that mean I hate playing CE online in MCC? No. But I always note the missed opportunities. Good online play was the original Halo 2. It was done so brilliantly that it changed online play forever. Everyone aped it yet no one did it better. Let's get something clear. I adore CE. It's my favorite game. It is the quintessential flawed masterpiece that should be left untouched, but its concepts should be retuned to and improved upon in future titles.

Big thanks to Red and his file share. Lots of old 360 maps for Reach that aren't in matchmaking anymore, for some reason.

While I did see this thread, I didn't originally intend on actually making a special celebration for it. #1700 felt long overdue to me, probably because of the barrage of Halo news and aych gee happenings that went on after HF and 1600. But alas, I want to give something back to y'all.
I joined this place a bit more than a year ago. It was during then that all the shitposting about BTB being broken and Bloons having more players than Shitfinite was happening, and I got heavily invested in learning about everyone here and partaking in the discussion. Not too long after I started my autistic crusade to host lobbies and the rest is history.
From the no mic euros to the shitposting browns, from the humble and modest oldfags to the cancerous femboys, I have accepted all you frequenters as my equals, and maybe even my friends if I'm feeling lucky. I love the incoherent trashtalk and I cherish the few select moments of passion I see in your personalities. Even if Halo never gets played again, I'll still remember all the ridiculous, totally not normal for imageboard standards shit I did with you all.
Take care, Halo General. Maybe one wishful Friday night we'll get to queue up for MCC again.
