Multiplayer

In multiplayer campaign firefight halo lobbies anything

Hey, I have a decent number of friends and I often host unique custom matches. I have custom firefight modes too and I'm always down for some campaign co-ops. I only play on the weekends and holidays if you have any interest lmk. I'm not a huge chatter and I don't have a mic, but I usually get right to business.

If you are interested, feel free to post your gamertag and you'll likely receive a message from Metalfrog. I most likely will leave you alone until a weekend night then I might send you an invite. If you don't accept or tell me, you're not available then that will be it.

CAMPAIGN: Halo 4

While there are some apparent design flaws and the Promethean enemies can get annoying at times, Halo 4 has one of my favorite stories within the series. Halo 4 also sticks with me personally, since I dealt with a huge loss at a young age. Hell, I’d call it my comfort game.

MULTIPLAYER: Halo 3

Self-explanatory. You simply can’t beat it.

FORGE: Halo Reach

On top of Reach’s excellent map offerings, we got Forge World, and the amount of things you could build or play were essentially endless.

FIREFIGHT: Halo 3: ODST

Being an ODST is cool. Fighting endless enemies in a badass way is cool. Throw in Rocketfight, Fiestafight and Floodfight, and you’re golden.

So yeah, those are my favorites.

Now, from what I know of, Halo Infinite and Halo 5 are the some of the only games that have multiplayer without the Elites. Now I get Elites wouldn’t fit lore wise, but gameplay wise they would fit perfectly. And argument I hear is that 343 will have to make all types of armor pieces for elites, but in Infinite they already do that, the Elites could just be some glorified armor core. They made armor pieces for the Hazmats so why can’t they do it again for the Elites? Next season could be an Elite themed season with the battle pass containing different armor pieces. I mean- I just love Elites but I wish they were in Halo Infinite.

The Australian badass should return in halo 7... or DLC! I betcha you can't change my mind! Even just as a Multiplayer AI! Anything 343! Please... Fingers crossed.

Sorry for the double post!

(Halo 3 High Ground Map)

Also me : It's impossible !

ME : Why's that ?

Me : They're all John-117s like me ! They know everything I do ! ARGH !

ME : I thought they are different individuals ?

Me : NO they all played the Campaign and all of them were once Master Chief John-117 ! They literally know everything I do !?

ME : Stop accusing them, you're just bad compared to them.

Me : ..... But...

ME : They can be Master Chiefs, but that only works with his body and skills, not his mind, so generally the minds are still yours, so it's your fault.

Me : ...

(This was inspired by my own comment to a post)

So it's been a couple days since I've finished the campaign and posted an update on my adventures through Halo: Combat Evolved. Both yesterday and today, I spent some time playing through Social playlists of Halo: CE multiplayer.

When I first joined, it was super cool seeing all of these new maps and getting to learn the spots for certain power weapons and power ups. It was, for the most part, what I expected, which was of course a ton of fun!

The Pistol is such a fun feeling weapon, so I played a TON of Precision Slayer. It felt great when you got the perfect three-shot on somebody. I also played around with Auto Slayer. It's an awkward feeling game mode sometimes, like when someone is super far away but you only have an Assault Rifle to use. But it's still a ton of fun, especially when you're just playing casually.

I also hopped into a ranked Doubles match at one point, and lost badly, so I went back to Social after that to improve lol.

As of right now, my favorite map is either Battle Creek or Damnation. Both I feel have a significant enough skill gap, and I don't often find myself getting immediately killed by a grenade.

And actually, that's my biggest complaint, or two complaints, I should say. Grenades and Spawning. The Spawning system isn't great at all. I can tell it tries to spawn you in the battle so you can immediately get to playing, but sometimes that just leads to instant, unpreventable death, and that can get kind of annoying. The second problem is grenades, which first of all is annoying for the spawning reasons I mentioned. You can literally spawn on an active grenade and basically get instantly killed lol. It's never fun when it happens. Also, grenades have a super massive explosion radius and are extremely lethal, which can get annoying. And lastly, you can hold up to four frag and plasma grenades at once, which makes grenade spamming a genuine threat. But either way, since I mainly play Social for now, I really shouldn't be complaining about this lol.

But that's about it. Thank you for reading. I'm having a blast playing the multiplayer so far and will continue to do so. I will probably post a second multiplayer update once I start playing through more game modes!
