Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

I play ranked cause I’m not some weak noob. If anyone wants to join me for some fun, let me know. I’ve been playing halo for nearly 7 years now, so I’m pretty good.

I also have halo 5, but that’s not as popular, and I also haven’t played as much of halo 5. Haven’t even finished the campaign.

Anyway, join me if you aren’t intimidated by a gamer girl who can 20-0 you in slayer

what does being a gamer girl have to do with anything besides you using this thread as an excuse to call yourself one

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Sometimes I long to go back during the days of Halo 2 and Halo 3. Those were my fondest online memories, and it's probably why I enjoy the shitposting culture as much as I do today.

I had a good clan and everything, knew all the callouts for all normal + MLG variant maps, it was pretty great.

...Haven't seriously played the games for years now. Don't have an Xbox One and really don't plan on getting one just to play Halo. Halo's a dead franchise, which is a damn shame, but that's what happens when a dev passes on a franchise to another dev team. They completely ruin it and retcon some lore to appease the novels rather than Bungie's own bible. Not to mention the multiplayer is a mesh of shit that no one asked for.

It sucks thinking about it. It could've been something great, but once Bungie left, there was no going back. Of course the decline of the games started off on Reach due to Reach's mechanics introducing some pretty shitty gameplay changes for competitive play, but it was still healthy going from 2010-2012

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Rant aside, I would love if I could relive the days of the old games through the Master Chief Collection. It's a shame though I would never EVER play the single player versions of those games. I don't care about "remixed" music or new voices for the first and second games. I don't much care for the changed cinematography for Halo 2 because I think the original shots and designs looks 100x better than the CGI they sprouted (not to mention extremely jarring). Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST are really the only ones that don't change anything so I'd PROBABLY dabble in those versions just for the stable frames, still though...

Do u even bxr

Edit: apparently they removed bxr in halo 2 arena lolll, no thnx

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

What's better... doubtshotting in the distance or always trying to go for bxr?

Also, I was under the impression (when I bingewatched some streams of Halo 2 on MCC) that the techniques are still there (minus super bouncing) since the build is based off the Vista port which removed it. I think what you're referring is the "remastered" variants because I believe all those techniques are just gone in those modes.

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

idk i liked drag scoping alot in halo 2 on xbox, and sniper duels, so probably neither

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

id join u if u werent intimidated by a gamer girl who can 20-0 you in slayer

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

uwu

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Halo 3 was the best and worst time of my life
I seriously regret throwing a controller while my younger brother was in the room once
But I also do think that the game, and the mentality it taught me about understanding that losses are almost always at least partially my fault has made me a better person

I was definitely addicted though, and I probably would be again if I seriously picked up a shooter.

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Why? Because you actually have to use skill beyond a kill combo?

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

I’m not intimidated

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

I dont think jokes are able to fly much further above your gamer wolf girl head

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Ah, the good ol' arguement I remember back 15 years ago...

A shame too, because Bungie stated themselves that it was "cheating" but it was never enforced as it was all fair game as everyone had access to the button inputs.

And what I mean from that is... tournaments, or rather "MLG" events allowed the use of these combos.

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

I have been playing for 17 years i'll slap your ass back into next week while drinking vodka while also playing ffr.

100-0 slayer ur gone

get on my level scrub 1v1 ur ded

scrub nub

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Never said it was cheating. It’s just a cheap tactic, that’s all.

Halo 2 has been out since 2004…

Not 17 years

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

and yet he's still been playing for 17 years
it's entirely possible within the theory of relativity, I don't know why someone as smart as you are is questioning him

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Word lmao, if she's like 4x as good at halo as she is at arrow game it'd be an easy 100-0, sticky nade across the map easy money free win

When I think of wolf girls I think awooooooo, not people taking everything literally lol.


In all seriousness I'd have no interest in actually "playing" anymore since if I were to play an fps nowadays I'd just get back into team fortress classic or quake 3 cpma (both of which I was a top player lolz), I literally just want to super bounce lol too bad they removed it

Regardless, without "exploits" halo is super slow paced and zzzzz

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Cheap tactic lmao oh boy

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

there exists a game that came out before Halo 2

you probably have not heard of it since only the elite players of skill know about it.

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Goldeneye 007

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Halo 1 pistols were amazing

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Who said I wasn’t elite?

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

I'm a noob at Halo 2 but daaamn double needler OP nerf pls

Halo 3 SWAT was the shit, change my mind

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Imo reach SWAT was the best

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

elite shit tier

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

damn dude, flawless aim. 20-0 in slayer for sure

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

hey if its an xbox controller u cant expect much, also first time ive heard their voice lol

also im pretty sure its impossible to go 20-0 in halo, i mean in quake live ive won duels 20:-2 before lol, if you steal every major item and time it, you can get people to die off their own rockets by running into them lolz if theyre bad... aww man i miss dueling on aerowalk vs people who couldnt even strafe jump to the red armor lul, halo i feel you can just at least spam some nades or something and get one kill, also lol halo about movement, big disagree there

i cant get over how your argument is that halo is about movement tho lol, ive heard tons of descriptions of halo and ive never seen someone say its about movement xd

Compare the halo movement to like, old team fortress games, like lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKlk...youtu.be&t=510, these are games literally about movement, not halo lol (also this game is why I can't play halo lol, too slow, also its like 60 fov, ew, under 120 fov in an fps game hurts my eyes q.q)

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Lmfao. I honestly wish I had a xbox right now. I haven't touched Halo since Halo 4 and I promise you i'd melt your face without any controller experience in over 10 years. My whole life i've gone with people talking so much shit about how good they are at Halo. Then I 25-0 them in a 1v1. If I get an Xbox I will contact you. Even so... Halo is more dead now than anything, which everyone else has already said. Which was the main appeal of an Xbox for a majority of people back in the day. Maybe Santa will be good to me this year though, who knows.

I can confirm. MLG allowed BXR. They did NOT allow double/quad shotting. Which was a shame because my team and I practiced double/quad shotting before going to Canadas first MLG event in Toronto for a good week straight. Good old days...
I wouldn't consider BXR a cheap tactic either. Extremely easy to pull off and basically becomes a reflex after time. Everyone had the ability to do it. Double/quad shotting was a little cheaper, as it was A LOT harder to pull off and i'd say a fraction of players could do this consistently.

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

banning BXR is like banning L cancelling in melee, like lol why, it just adds depth and technical skill to the game

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

Talking about how I'm better at Halo than other people brings me back to a dark, dark place.

IME, people who talk the most shit are generally the people who noobstomp their friends that don't care about the game, who go back to playing whatever other game they actually play after they've paid the friendship toll of playing Halo with "that one guy."

I remember one time at a bowling alley, someone on the lane next to me heard me talking to my brother about guitar hero, and he told me he could beat me (or anyone) so after about an hour of his shit, we went to the arcade machine in the alley. He went first and loaded up Mississippi Queen on Medium rofl.

P rare that I encounter someone like Brandon (presumably) or, for example, korny, who can genuinely back up their shittalk.

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

I have 100% achievement completion on Halo3, Halo ODST and Halo Reach, and was ranked Legend on Reach in very little time (before the first max rank was achieved, iirc)

Edit: was just to answer OP about rank

:)

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

I always get confused when people say brandon, do you mean etienne? i dont think ive ever seen him talk shit in my life lol hes one of the most humble top stepmania players

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

I think he meant the person with Brandon in their username

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

lmfao

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

I really want to show off my halo prowess now.

Gt is Qrrbrbirbei

Inv if you want to get wrecked by someone that plays at least an hour of Halo every day.

I'm a polished 50, so gl with those 10 years of controller absence Brandon lmao

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

well crap.
Yeah 50 was impossible in Halo 2 because of standby which was extremely annoying.
Halo 3 was easy as heck to get 50. Not sure about anything else though.

I do miss korny though... wonder where that man is at. What a legend

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
 

looks like you guys scared queenashy off

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?

Re: Anyone want to play some Halo 2 arena (MCC)?
