Halo will now be built on Unreal Engine 5, 343 Industries rebrands to Halo Studios

I thought the Halo 4 campaign was really good, so I don't think 343 immediately broke the series.

You know what? I can't even remember if I played 5 or not. If I did, it would have been a long Saturday at a friend's house, because I never owned it, and have not had an Xbox in years*.

*I purchased a used XbOne and Halo Infinite and extra controller a few years ago to later learn that you can't play split-screen. I was intending to play through the campaign with my cousin and then sell it all. I bought the system just for that game. I was appalled that they removed split-screen co-op campaign, a staple feature the entire series! Fortunately, I was able to resell and return everything I had purchased, and I only lost $20.

MCC was really great to replay on PC with higher resolution and keyboard and mouse... until it stopped working. I was in the middle of a campaign with a friend, and we simply couldn't continue.

It was those two points which wrote the series off for me. Long ago, I had completed the original Halo 1 campaign on Legendary solo as well as on Legendary with a friend. Just good memories at this point I suppose.

Quoting: PhiladelphusSeems a bit optimistic to call it The Last Plague.
Or, very dark and pessimistic.

QuoteOne of the benefits of being just a bit behind is seeing all the new stuff get stable before moving over to it.
Moving to Plasma 6 and Wayland at the same time fixed issues I was experiencing beforehand.

I'll try the demo. I'm happy Valve is encouraging game demos again. But yeah, if it's too much the same as Advanced Wars, it makes me a little worried.

Quoting: MalWhat? 20 years? How is it possible? When did that time pass by?
When I think about a couple of the people I played the game with back then, it's easy to think it was that long ago. I'm not even the same person I was back then. But I did play over 5 hours of Space Marine 2 yesterday.

I wish it worked on Linux now since it was on sale for $1!

I hope this fills the hole left by Overwatch, minus the part where I was angry after playing.

Linux system performance optimizer GameMode v1.8.2 out now fixing hybrid CPU core pinning

I have not confirmed whether it was the zen kernel or gamemode, but ASKA was crashing after 5-10 minutes of play with one of those things. I should do a test to confirm which one it was. Because if it was gamemode, maybe this new release will fix it!
