Most disrespectful gfx gen launch I’ve seen in a good while

they fully won’t but I’d like for you to be able to play once again if you enjoyed it way back when. Hell I think they even went to far as to detect & prevent play on a Linux host when running the game through a win VM with Gfx pass through.

If you do decide to go with an amd GPU for gamedev, please reach out if you run into any snags. Would be happy to assist in any way I can.

Appreciate this input. The PAL drivers have indeed become more explicit / strict about spec compliance.

We sort of learned this the hard way across a breadth of older OpenGL apps (leveraging some pretty finnicky workarounds way back when) but have endeavoured to address each of these issues for OGLP.

okay yeah, Infinite’s is very different. Trajectory is less arced, it’s almost similar to the H1 plasma pistol. Velocity through its trajectory seems linear / consistent. it kills on direct hit unlike with H3 / Reach. I’m not sure if this is tuned correctly. Rate of fire seems similar enough to prior iterations but this isn’t the fuel rod gun we know.

In H3 it’s contingent on the angle of impact, perhaps even on flight duration. I feel like the older iteration’s initial muzzle velocity is quite high and drops off at range, which would make sense for such large and heavy projectiles, and gives you more consistent performance up close.

I can test with both Infinite and MCC running in tandem maybe later.

I gave the fuel… Rod… Not cannon? A quick try. The projectile speed and properties felt really strange. What would this most closely compare to?

I’ve yet to check in with strafe / movement accel and frag grenade handling. I wonder if the former would help make classic jenga feel like jenga.

well I guess the desecration of art continues

what a majestic game.

noble even.

check your vector.

I can’t speak to h5 since I decided not to get a console for it. I played with halo 5 forge on PC for a bit but its performance charactersitics and presentation put me off.

I spent enough time to play with some of the weapons and variants, and they were fairly interesting. I would expect much more to come to infinite over time if I didn’t already know that development on both it and MCC was virtually dead.

There are still so many absent iconic weapons. The plasma rifle, covenant carbine, pump shotgun, spartan laser. Would be nice to see the mauler, spiker and brute shot come back since… well brutes. I’m not sure I’d feel good about wanting the M6D magnum back in the mix but a little pocket sniper could be fun (and no, the mangler doesn’t fulfil this niche).

I suppose there’s a bit of a fine line when it comes to managing (I.e. not over-saturating) a weapons sandbox, but 343 didn’t seem to care about this with halo 5, and never considered each weapon in this way individually, since H4 went with a weapon archetype model as part of their loadouts system (carbine, BR, DMR, light rifle).

Would love to see the mountable missile pod and flamethrowers again too.

to much fanfare

I’d love an expanded universe but I can’t trust 343 to deliver it.

Their depiction of the forerunners was bad enough. I wish that was all undone / made non canon.

At this point I’m wondering if there’s any hope for a complete retcon of the 343 fever dream era.

Signed. Thanks for sharing

Now I’m extra mad because their new app is messing with sleepy time for the bebis 😠

fuck those guys. Glad you gave a workaround in place.

no u

Hope it works out for you tho. Hit us up if you need a hand.

I’m using my kitchen S5 exclusively in aux mode with a spare phone which runs the Malopieds fork of Innertune. It’s the perfect music kiosk / jukebox and I never have to touch their apps (unless I change up my network).

That’s a shame. Bad enough they took reach’s set, charged for some of it, and broke parts off like pilot, security, JFO, EOD into individual sets which people also have to pay for.

The reach ‘remasters’ look pretty damn great. They can do well with good source material. 343’s more original designs on the other hand pale in comparison.

I don’t understand their fascination with churning out ugly banised looking cosmetics.
