Lack of notable marines in Halo 4-5 campaign

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 07:40 PM PDT

I feel like a big thing missing in 343's games is not just a lack of marines alongside 117 (which is still an issue) but a lack of notable marines. There are many wiki pages for certain marines in 1-3, such as Marcus Banks, Chips Dubbo, Echo-419, Master Guns, Johnson, and especially Sergeant Stacker (who actually did make a very very brief appearance in H4)

Some of these marines fought in Reach, Battle of Installation 04 and 05, Battle of Earth, The Ark, and so on alongside Master Chief. Sergeant Stacker even had a Firefight voice in Halo Reach.

The important thing about these characters are that they aren't shoved in your face like Palmer, Lasky, Del Rio, etc. These marines are characters you fought alongside since the first Halo game. Some players don't even really think about the marines and their personalities, but those who do really appreciate the effort put into these guys by Bungie. Whether you pay attention to the marines or not, they are an unsung hero to a story that would feel soulless otherwise.

You have no idea how much nostalgia I felt in Halo 4 when I heard Sergeant Stacker over the intercom, even if it was only for a brief moment. Despite my distaste for the artsyle changes, Halo 4 really felt like a true Halo game, and I'm still incredibly upset that Halo 5's campaign exists. Why couldn't Locke be a reintroduction of one of these characters, instead of some boring new guy with almost no personality?

343 isn't concerned with the marine's personality, they're just nameless cannon fodder. Who the Hell are these generic black/yellow Recruit Spartans I'm fighting with in Halo 4? In Reach, Bungie even went as far as giving EVERY marine a name at the bottom of your HUD.

Palmer, Lasky, Del Rio, Fireteam Crimson, Thorne... Every time 343 creates a new character, they're shoehorn'd into the spotlight, instead of just being incorporated into the overall story.

Can we get some of these classic marines back into Halo along with some new marines? It would help fill that empty void that is 343's Halo story

EDIT: I'm using the word "marine" very loosely, obviously not everyone is a "marine", but you should get my point...

MCC now listed as a console launch exclusive

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 09:44 PM PDT

I was just looking through the store and MCC now shows up as a console launch exclusive along side many other games that have launched on PC and (in a few cases) on mobile. Anyone think this is more then just Microsoft's slightly confusing marketing when it comes to "exclusives"?

Why we need a social skirmish sort of playlist

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 01:15 PM PDT

I have read all the reasons and comments of why it needed it to be removed and the reasoning was somewhat sound at first glance. After a few days of not having Team Skirmish it's becoming increasingly frustrating to play Halo unless I have a full party of 4 to play HCS/TA.

Team skirmish allowed anyone to just hop into a game of normal, casual, 4v4 pistol/AR start Halo and not worry about the outcome of the game. If people left, others would usually join to fill the void.

Sure I could just enter HCS/TA solo and not care about rank but I do care about rank. I want to perform and try my absolute best but that's not always the case. Sometimes I want to come back from work and not worry about the outcome the game. I want to play some relaxing halo and not end up more stressed than before I started. And when I've got my buddies on, I'll be sure to hop into HCS/TA.

I want to have the option. I do not like being restricted and forced to play Ranked just to play normal pistol/AR start 4v4 halo.

Custom games are there yes but why disregard the beauty that is matchmaking?! If so many people are looking for a casual 4v4 why not give us the option?

I enjoy playing super fiesta very much and some grifball and action sack never hurt when I'm in the mood to mix it up. But as a longtime Halo player, I love being able to relax, kickback and enjoy myself playing more casual playlists like team Skirmish.

SF Bay Area LANs

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 11:22 AM PDT

@everyone so the SF westfield mall location has a nice space available to occupy with free play/scrims/streaming of Halo mainly but will introduce a few other games soon after. They will have a minimum of 10 xbox 1 S's with monitors and all.13th is the 1st time they will allow anyone to come in with no time limits and play how you wish with who you wish so lets try to spread the word of this and attend as well. NO TOURNAMENTS (at least not yet). Lets revamp the local LANs and they are allowing us to call this place home..they have no problem allowing us to control what we play or how we play and will help rep NorCal Halo at the MS store!

Reply or DM for details or to send confirmation info of your attendance.

For the future Halo trailers...

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 02:45 PM PDT

... They should all be recorded in Theatre mode. If you look at Halo 3, for example, almost all of the trailers were recorded in Theatre Mode. And they (Bungie) used music from the game as well. They used all Halo music in their trailers, actually.

What 343 should do is also use Theatre Mode and their own music for their trailers. The story trailer for Halo 5 was simply amazing, I'll give it that. But I think it would be a lot more preferable for all future Halo trailers to use it's own assets.

What do you think?

Help with nightfall armor

Posted: 05 Aug 2017 07:37 PM PDT

So I have been playing halo 5 for a long time, and when I got the tmcc I watched nightfall series, now the problem is that no rewards showed me. I saw again and again the series but nothing unlocks. Is it only just now unlockable via req packs or the armor can still be rewarded? Sorry for my English
