How come I hadn't heard anything about Spartan Ops being held back until December until now?

You would have heard if you listened to the right people.

 

[FatMarshall]

How come I hadn't heard anything about Spartan Ops being held back until December until now?

Probably because it's Halo 4 related.

 

[Overdoziz]

How come I hadn't heard anything about Spartan Ops being held back until December until now?

Hopefully they'll hold it back indefinitely.

Is this a forge stream where someone is actually placing down objects instead of spawning in the Golden Warthog and red energy sword over and over again?

Here's food for thought....

The drops at their worst is still equal to or greater than any other halo console release at their best.

Variable fps is always worse then stable. Espeically if its vsynced like mp, the drops will feel even worse

 

[DopeyFish]

Halo has never had stable framerate

 

[tootsi666]

Depends. IMO fps that varies between 45-60 fps is a lot better than completely stable 30.

Screw frames per second... why is matchmaking starting games 2v4? Almost every game I've seen on Bloma's stream has been started with uneven teams

Might have something to do with the fact that a relatively small number of people have access to the game right now.

I'm hoping it's just because the population is so low.

I hope so. He's in a party of two, game finds four more people, his team gets two of them and two random guys are left on their own. Must be a bug or something related to small population right guys?


,,, guys? Right?

I sincerely doubt that it's because of some bug. Low population = uneven team placement.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Yup, it happened a lot in Halo 2 when the population dropped.

 

[DJ Gunner]

Ehh large drops from 60 can be much more annoying and an overall worse experience than a locked 30 fps. Hopefully they are very rare occurrences. I personally almost never play splitscreen but I am worried about the report that there are major fps drops on Stonetown even without split screen.

Except every past Halo release was anything BUT locked 30 fps. 3 was the worst offender for me- there was a constant judder in MP that most people didn't seem to detect but it drove me totally nuts.

Point is, based on the information we currently have, all the games run smoother than their original versions did- especially CE and 2 classic.

 

[BigShow36]

So I decided to play Halo 3 for the first time in a few years.

Lost all my skill.

Lucky for you that's not needed for Halo 3.

It can't start in a 3v3?

 

[VisceralBowl]

lol..was that person trying to ads? How sad.

Yeah I wonder why nobody considered 3v3. There could have been three parties though.

 

[Strider]

So. Anyone making a thread in gaming section for this launch invitational?

I mean exposure n views n "King is back" n stuffs ya know.

You just volunteered.

 

[Tunavi]

The original Halos 1, 2, and 3 have come out unscathed, and their frame rates are pretty rock-solid.

Fuck yeah

Now to buy some expensive damn controllers

 

[danwarb]

Variable fps is always worse then stable. Espeically if its vsynced like mp, the drops will feel even worse

True if there are frequent sharp drops.

They've all looked pretty smooth in the 60fps footage I've seen. Only CE/CEA has the juddery cutscenes. Those should've been capped at 30fps to match the animation.

 

[JoeDanny]

lol..was that person trying to ads? How sad.

In the full video he had a sniper and threw like two grenades trying to aim at a guy across the map

 

[LinkToTheFuture]

You're really studying that gif so I dont catch you making the same mistake.

Well you see there are plenty of reasons why 3v3 isn't used. Unfortunately, I can't explain any of them because I don't know what they are.

3 parties of 2. Would you rather they split parties?

I'd rather leave such concerns to the folks who actually have control over this issue.

What I am ultimately saying is that I don't know what the right solution to uneven teams is. Perhaps your solution would work. Perhaps it wouldn't.

I've done the same thing several times now, coming straight off Destiny and COD:AW after having not played Halo since the One came out

I just saw a man lose a shotgun-AR close range duel.

He was holding the shotgun.

WHAT.

How will people complain that Halo is dead without it!

I remember this channel. They had a few other terrible gameplay videos from MCC.

Exactly. No fun there!
