Mainly about how to steer Halo in the right direction if they want it to be the most profitable like how Bungie did it. Not to mention ask why firefight is cut from ODST. That was like the best feature in the entire game aside from just the story, I want to tell them that they should include firefight in this build and not cut it from the previous 360 build  by Bungie. What good is a 60 FPS upgrade if you can't even enjoy the full features of the game? That's like cutting Halo 2's multiplayer from Halo 2 PC and only leaving the campaign. That isn't fun.

I want to say all this to 343 and more, but I know they won't listen to me let alone respond.

Besides, does anyone even know 343's email?

>Being this much of a faggot.

Oh, wait. It's Deci..

:/

Come on man. Does anyone even care anymore? Why can't we just have a civil discussion here?

And people tell me that I don't try.

idk what it was, but they made the forums so they didn't have to deal with people spamming it, but yeah they don't care.

Yeah it figures. Just make money and forget about the content. That's all it is these days.

The people that made the previous Halos are currently working on it. I'm sure they know than some kid

You're a game "developer". Surely you of all people would understand that it's not a simple task. Just look at the MCC and how broken that was because of MS making them get it out by the 2014 holidays.

I play the games for the campaigns nowadays.  If Halo 5's campaign is as well-written as 4's then I'll be happy.

Okay there's no need to be an ass. I'm not saying it's all fine and dandy there and they're just lazy. I do know how tough it is.

I'm not a game developer. Just a developer. Developer of shit actually. If I ever actually spend time and assets on a project and it turns out good and I sell it, then I can call myself an Indie Dev. Otherwise I'm nothing more but a student.

I'm not "some kid," you are in no position to put me down. I still know far more than anyone on this site in terms of making a game currently. Unless someone from the video game industry joins Sep7agon, you're all I have right now, and I would know far more than you could possibly ever imagine.

One of my projects originally was going to be a Sep7agon brawl battle, but I decided to axe it out entirely because the community here keeps giving me shit instead of positive enforcement. It's not too late to start all over again though, but I doubt I will unless a major change happens here. All you guys got so far as far as content goes was the Sep7agon Theme for the 360, and I did that. The only thing that I did not create was just the Sep7agon logo, but the background, color scheme, that's all my work.

I'm fuckin' with yah, dude.

Anyway, 343 has the Waypoint Forums set up for this sort of thing. Of course, those forums are a pile of dog turds. If you want to get more directly with someone at the company, I suggest going on NeoGaf (Frankie is there a lot and answers questions and addresses issues) or simply send the letter via postage to the actual 343 building. They usually read the physical letter, as they're less common than forum and email spam.

fucking around in blender isn't game design, deci

Okay, first of all, I don't even use blender. That's a modeling program. I use Autodesk Maya for that, which when it comes to character modeling, Zbrush is slowly going to replace, Autodesk Mudbox is a texturing and digital sculpting program, and I use that too, you can get those for free if you're a college student.

And if my computer didn't get fucked last time I would have had a complete Halo 2 PC Map under my portfolio using 3DS Max 7 with the Bungie .ASS exporter, I am still really fucking angry at myself for not backing it up, that was weeks and weeks of work, and it wouldn't always open it in the Halo 2 engine due to Pathway issues, once I fixed that I was so happy that I could finally add in the in game assets and set the map up for Halo 2, long story short, I did something unrelated to the whole map project, something that obviously knew would fuck the machine up if I opened the .exe, and boy did I have a fuck load of malware to the point where the Windows boot manager for Windows 7 got deleted. I'm mad about it to this day, I can try making the map again but I lost the passion to do so. Maybe this summer I'll reinstall 3DS Max 7 or 8 and get back to it. It has to be either of those programs because the .ASS exporter doesn't work with any recent version of 3DS Max, let alone any other modeling program. So fucking yeah!

Aside from that the only engine I fuck around with is UDK, I develop with Unity, and since Unity 5 just came out, I have more tools to use for my projects this time to create some high quality environments.

Next time educate yourself and do a bit more research before attempting to insult me again, because you're pretty bad at it so far. I know my shit, and I swear if there were MORE game development courses to take in my area aside from the 3 that I have aced, I'd hop right to it, better yet if there was a job offering for anyone who has knowledge with Unity in the area, I'd fucking run over there right now and apply.

> game company taking advice from, quite literally, a complete random


lol good luck with that

If we've learned anything about 343i from the MCC, it is that Porting last gen games is the most incredibly complex process ever conceived by man, and that if anything about it works it's a miracle.

4 games running on 4 different engines and running on something that's a single game in itself, and coding all 4 games to be compatible with a completely different architecture than the 360 used is a massive task that has never been done before the MCC.
Having to get it all work whilst MS are breathing down your neck and forcing you to get it ready for the holidays doesn't help either.

So yeah, it is an incredibly complex task.

what languages do you know?

I'd say go for it, Im sure there's still a chance to save Halo >.>

By turning it back into the drab Bungie put out?
