Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

                          There's actually an Easter egg in Halo Reach that lets you fly the Pelican and the Covenant dropship.

                          [–]xxhonkeyxx 22 points23 points ago

                          Please, do tell how I go about doing that :)

                          [–]thinkforyourself 44 points45 points ago

                          You have to hit a switch on the level with the helicopter things and then fly your helicopter through a big loop on the level. If I recall correctly it's nigh impossible to do without at least two people playing co-op. I would link to a tutorial but I'm on my phone, just type this into Google: "halo reach pelican Easter egg."

                          [–]xxhonkeyxx 5 points6 points ago

                          awesome! i'll take a look at that later when i can watch the video. I'll have to try it out sometime :)

                          [–]impetergraves 6 points7 points ago

                          Reach had some pretty cool easter eggs. There was another one on one of the last levels that gave you a couple of Banshees. You definitely need two people for that one though.

                          And then on the second mission there was one that enabled a cool Warthog race kinda thing.

                          Maybe the next game when the new consoles can handle large scale battles. We can only hope.

                          There was a controlled pelican in Reach, but only for campaign. Oh, and it was an easter egg.

                              Isn't console battlefield like 12 vs 12 or something of the sort? That ain't that big. Needs 100vs100.

                              [–]03Titanium 110 points111 points ago

                              Yes. It's not really true battlefield. If next consoles can't support LARGE online battles it will bra disappointment. Flying a pelican with 12 troops and a warthog into battle where another 50 of your team is battling would be insane. That would also require much bigger maps. I hope the development teams can think big.

                              [–]AndyOB 120 points121 points ago

                              /r/gaming peeps need to seriously check out Planetside 2. It is in beta right now and the game is exactly what you just described but imagine 3 pelicans rolling into to where 200 of your team is aleady fighting. along with tank columns and air support to protect the pelicans. /r/planetside.

                                  [–]uniquecannon 10 points11 points ago

                                  While I love this game, MAG never got big because of two fatal flaws:

                                  1) It's not a Call of Duty 2) It's not a Battlefield

                                  Plus you can't call your opponent "faggot", or say you had sex with their mom, over the mic.

                                  [–]Goron40 20 points21 points ago

                                  Planetside 2. 666 v 666 v 666. It's essentially battlefield in the future. And it has proximity voice chat for calling people faggots. If that's what you're in to.

                                        It sounds fun but PS3's game, MAG had 256 players in one game (or something like that) and it was just bad. It wasn't laggy in the least bit. Just...it wasn't fun.

                                                Joint Ops did around 150 players at a time.

                                                Planetside had a 600 player game once.

                                                    Halo 1, if you didn't mind voiding a warranty or two.

                                                    Halo 1, if you didn't mind voiding a warranty or two.

                                                    Halo: Combat Evolved was released November 15, 2001.

                                                    It predates the release of Halo 4 by 9 days. (Whilst 11 years apart.)

                                                    Basic mathematics will tell you that the square root of nine is three.

                                                    At the end of all Halo 3 campaigns (minus the Legendary ending), Spartan II- John 117 [Master Chief] is thought to be dead.

                                                    Dead...

                                                    If a player has not finished Halo 3 on Legendary difficulty, the announcement of Halo 4 must have been shocking.

                                                    Dead...

                                                    Shocking...

                                                    Shocking of the heart is called defibulation. This medical procedure can be used to pull a human back from the brink of being half dead.

                                                    Half dead? No... More like... Half-Alive.

                                                    Three? Half Alive?

                                                          Here's a comparison of Valhalla and Ragnarok (remake name)

                                                          Holycrap. I never thought Halo 3 would look "crappy" but compared to that..

                                                          Yes. How has this even happened? Halo 3 was the top of the pile for graphics, and now it looks like NES-rendered crap? How? What even does if this was?

                                                          Sometimes you've just gotta wonder where whence came back the whosenwhatsen.

                                                          More light filtering and more tasteful textures. The polycount hasn't increased much so it seems.

                                                          Yeah, looks like the changes are primarily cosmetic, but I like the new art direction.

                                                            And soft-lighting tech has reaaaallllyyyy improved in the past few years.

                                                                Funny, I like the building from 3 a lot more (more detail/style preference).

                                                                That said, the environment from 4 looks much nicer (that tree especially).

                                                                The building in 4 has far more subtlety of color, not to mention the model being far higher detail. But on the other hand, style preference is a personal thing so I guess you can have your own opinion even if it's wrong.

                                                                [–]FleetMind 11 points12 points ago

                                                                Agreed that the model in the new one is better, but I like the look of the first being all grungy and complicated to the new "Aperture Science" look.

                                                                I might like it more if I was playing, but hey, we are speculating on small screens.

So far it's looking better than Reach in that regard, which is the only thing that stopped me from enjoying Reach MP.

Had they not put them in Reach we wouldn't know how much they affect the game, and multiplayer would stagnate. I'm really glad that Bungie took a risk like that in their final installment in the franchise.

I was under the assumption that the spartans were specifically designed to counter mech suits like this because the colonies were using retrofitted cargo loading mechs in their rebellions.

                                                                                                                                [–]ztherion 5 points6 points ago

We had to scrap the concept and redesign battle armor from the ground up for hte MJOLNIR project. The Mark Is consumed enormous energy. Either they had to be plugged into a generator or use inefficient boradcast power- neither option is practical on a battlefield."

                                                                                                                                        Personally, I wish they went all-out in making it as different as possible and experimenting with more than just the storytelling and a pseudo-open world.

                                                                                                                                        [–]stigiancore 28 points29 points ago

Being a little more realistic than Master Chief, but still a badass was a nice middle ground between "Walking in a tank" (Halo) to "my flesh is made of butter" (Battleground). In the halo series master chief starts to feel like the sci fi equivalent of Connan, the king with an ax who is forging the universe. In ODST you were a soldier fighting a losing war, trying to get back together with your squad and see if you can't find your way out of this.... OHGODALIENS!

It gets a lot of shit for being unrealistic and for being popular, but it's a very good game.

                                                                                                                                                      On top of that, the devs have always gone above and beyond for community involvement. You can waste hundreds of hours just building Rube Goldberg contraptions in forge, creating your own gametypes [such as sprinter zombies, or health leeches, or...], modding existing maps, and the like.

                                                                                                                                                      The guys that dismiss it as 'kiddie nonsense' from the get-go are seriously missing out.
