I always liked the Hunters in ODST the most. Different versions and they act much smarter. Caught me off-guard a coupple of times.

@Gandie: The first encounter has a weapon box with Shotguns near them.

What would a Hunter made of butts look like I wonder...

As a soon to be employee of Verizon, have you considered switching to Verizon FiOS?
I'm sure it's super fast with great customer services, not like those other ISPs.

*cough*

Having actually used Verizon's FiOS internet, its worth checking out if it's in your area and you don't already have a good ISP. The customer service is pretty cool, the speeds are good (great if you're directly connected or living in a house) and the prices aren't half bad.

I used it back when I lived in Gresham and it was nice.

Not just you. Judging by the screwiness on TA yesterday it seems they're not fully uploaded onto the achievement servers.

Man that Relic remake is really bad. A awful long loading time and framerate is all over the place.

I really got bad at Halo. Struggling with the first hunter encounter in ODST on Legendary. Am I supposed to just run past them?

I fought them for a bit, then I just said fuck it and ran passed them.

ODST is still by far the best Halo game.

I'd put it right after Halo 3, it's real close for me.

So I have spent over an hour doing the Didact fight this morning. Every time I pull myself up the screen says press RT to fire machine gun but nothing happens. Every video I have looked up online it says press LT to plant gernade after MC pulls himself up. Does anyone know what I can do? I have tried tapping RT, I have tried holding RT, nothing works. I even quit out of the game and restarted. This is the worst.

We doing this again?

You need to press LT. The QTE is wrong.

This is the type of thing that you can single-handedly bomb your final exam with.

Do I hold LT the entire time the promt is on the screen? He just slaps it away every time. This is the most frustrating thing I have ever seen in a game.

I'm pretty sure it's after you crawl to it, you pick it up then get right next to him, I'd hit the Left trigger then.

 

[BlackJet]

Why did I wait so long to play ODST? It's soooo good. Almost enough to make up for the MCC mess.

Almost

So, the latest patch reset a coupple of Playlist checkpoints. I have a buddy who was at Halo 4 Composer and on Halo CE Two Betrayals in the LASO playlists and now it shows the 1st missions for him again, with the progress reset to 0. I also saw somebody mentioning it in one of the ODST threads, but I had no clue if it actually was the patch casuing it or a corrupt save file. Anyone else affected?

Pretty frustrating for him, because it took him quite some time to get there. I'm glad I did them in time

Spoiler

, eventhough I cheated.

Edit: Just checked my dummy account and the progress is gone. Except for Halo 3.

Happened to me after the February patch. Whenever they push a new patch out, the only thing it saves for player data appears to be the stuff in the start menu. Any progress made in a Campaign mission or Playlist appears to reset.

I haven't played ODST since like 2009, maybe I'd like it now

Because back then, I didn't really care for anything other than its visual style and hub world

Man I'm really going to be pissed if for E3 all we get is something like Spartan Ops and no Campaign or BTB footage. As much potential I think Spartan Ops has, it's definitely not the most exciting thing for me.

[HTupolev]

What's wrong with the cutscenes?

The animation work was never very refined, but in the original version it can at least give off a sort of "stop motion action figures" vibe.

In the MCC version, the intermediate animation frames bring out or emphasize nuances that shouldn't be there. Everything looks obnoxiously exaggerated in weird ways, especially faces.

He can be a damn good voice actor sometime. I haven't really seen him in anything great as an actor, though, but that's not his fault. Also: Buck is a stupid, annoying character, as is most of the ODST cast. The dialogue in that game is so bad.

 

[AlStrong]

Make it have real bobble physics when your head gets shot. That Chibi Chief is adorable, but the lack of bobble is, quite frankly, a travesty.

On a side note, the beard easter egg in Gears 3 was a riot since even Anya got it. 343i should have a skull that gives everyone sombreros and 'staches!

You can have it for $4.99 on Xbox One, but the complete version only works on 2005 hardware.

According to the ODST Developer Commentary all the cutscene animations were keyframed by a single person.

It definitely shows, like you said, but I think that that person did a damn fine job.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Man, the framerate in 4 player coop in ODST gets down right terrible, sub 30 it feels.

You can. No encounter in the first mission is required.

The framerate is abysmal.


Side note, I think that they have done it now so when the host quits, you don't get a black screen, it just lags all over the place for a few seconds.

Anyone else had that??

It's not the original work I have a problem with. It's how it looks interpolated in MCC.

Though, I've played a bit more now, and it's not really problematic in places without much closeup facial animation. First cutscene just left me with a really bad first impression; probably didn't help that the brightness curves were wrecking the framing as well (and even turning the bloom into a nasty smear when Buck and Dare are chatting).

 

[Madness]

Why is the framerate so poor for Stonetown, Bloodline and Remnant? H2A isn't even that technically beautiful. Halo 5 beta had a solid frame rate, but we never played more than 4v4, is the Xbox One that underpowered where it'll be tough for BTB in Halo 5 as well?

 

[Overdoziz]

Halo 5 beta had a solid frame rate

Truth, Regret and Empire definitely had framerate issues.
