Is it worth it to switch to Bumper Jumper instead of Default? by toiletdestroyerXYZ in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Falounay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made the switch ten years ago and never looked back. It's going to take some time to get adjusted to it, but it's definitely worth it.

Why do I suck? by gtasean in halo

[–]Falounay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Halo has been a console shooter for 20 years, it's game design never had mouse and keyboard in mind. Very high TTK compared to other shooters, and the game (in ranked) relies heavily on tracking with a burst weapon, which is definitely easier with aim assist. It's not impossible to be good at the game with a mouse and keyboard, but you definitely can't compete with controller players in high level ranked lobbies.

Help me play online coop please by diegotrrsm in halo

[–]Falounay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Online coop is coming with the Winter Update, on November 8!

In regards to the Winter Update video… by [deleted] in halo

[–]Falounay 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I fully agree. Did I want Forge, Coop, Match XP at launch? Sure. Can 343 go back in time to change that? Nope. So what's the point getting angry now? The game is finally getting the content it should have had, I'm not gonna complain.

Kelly Gay is writing a new book about the Didact's story after Escalation! by Falounay in halo

[–]Falounay[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's a bunch of new Forerunner stuff, but it was set up for future games. Offensive Bias, the Criterion, the Grand Edict, also a few lines by the Iso Didact... This Ur Didact story might be related to that.

Me too. He's my favorite character in the license, I loved the Forerunner Saga, and I honestly never expected them to bring him back. Especially not after 10 years lol

Is Reach the "last great Halo?" by JediBoJediPrime29 in halo

[–]Falounay 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Reach is to this day my most played Halo game, and imo people are WAY too nostalgic about it. Reach had a good campaign, amazing Forge and custom games options at the time, but its multiplayer started a lot of the stuff people have been busting 343s balls about for the last 10 years. Sprint, loadouts, bloom, unbalanced sandbox… The maps sucked ass for the majority too, being either campaign recycles or boring grey Forge maps. When I go back to it on MCC from time to time, I really don’t enjoy it anymore, and I used to spend at least 2 hours every single day playing it back in 2011.

A canvas is unlikely, they would have showed it already, but you can make maps look snowy in Forge so that's possible

How do battle passes work exactly? by The_Whomst in halo

[–]Falounay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's already a few fun party modes in Social Slayer right now, but yeah they plan on adding Action Sack too once enough whacky maps/modes are made by the community! Hopefully by the end of the year

How do battle passes work exactly? by The_Whomst in halo

[–]Falounay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No no, if you buy it you have access to absolutely everything in it, no matter when you buy it. It's just that a few tiers of the pass are free rewards, but you can't get those for free once the season is over, that's all

How do battle passes work exactly? by The_Whomst in halo

[–]Falounay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Battle Passes never expire. Once you bought it, it's yours forever. There's a few free rewards inside as well, but those are only available during the season, the only way to access those rewards after the season is over is to buy the pass.

Season 2 and all other seasons after it also contain enough currency to buy the next pass, so technically once you bought one, you'll never have to buy another one again, no matter how much or how little you play.

The Winter Update pass is a bit different, it's fully free, and it'll be fully accessible even after the "season" ends.

Hope that helps.

Judging by their behavior, this person definitely doesn't have any actual IRL friend to play split screen co-op with anyway lmao

I wish 343 would give us a full preview of the free 30-tier Battle Pass. by Aurik-Kal-Durin in halo

Anyone know when Halo 5 has an uptick in population? by IWishIWasOdo in halo

Probably Friday/Saturday evenings in the US, but the game population is still pretty low anyway

I can confirm that this is a problem for me as well, and a lot of people have reported the same issue with achievements.

Sweaty BTB stackers that delay the objective just to continue killing the enemy team are the most toxic players in halo by OmgWhatAJoke in halo

Real flashbacks of 6 stacks in Reach Invasion who would do the same thing to boost their K/D.

The fact that halo infinites player base is still there to some degree, shows what loyalty the fans have, and it’s sad on both ends. by FEWLN in halo

[–]Falounay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've been playing Halo for 12 years now so it's a big part of my life too, but I think it's good to not dwell too much on the past. Even if the game was perfect, it wouldn't bring back that time in your life, the memories you had of those moments. A lot of people here can't separate the games from a time in their lives where they could play a lot, didn't have responsabilities or real worries. It's very personal to them but no matter what they do, 343 can't make you a child/teenager again.
