Kids these days will never understand the pain and the awesomeness of lugging your heavy TV and Xbox to a friend's house for Halo multiplayer. This has been old man yelling at cloud.

Yi-Long973d ago

Clouds these days are terrible. Back in my day, THOSE were some top-quality clouds …

ManMarmalade973d ago

I remember buying a 360 so my best friend didn't have to bring his to my place. Me, my brother and our best friend would have a LAN connection in 2 separate rooms and just snipe and stick each other all day. Some of the best memories those years 👌

Locutus_of_borg973d ago

At one point, lasting several weeks i had to find space for 4 big old crt Tv's, Ghost recon was the game back then, looking back, i wouldnt change a thing... was so much fun.. Happy Days

got_dam972d ago

Oh, man. Mech Assault 1 and halo. I miss high school!

anubusgold970d ago (Edited 970d ago )

LOL you should have bought the xbox VGA adapter then you could just take a LCD flat screen with you or plug up your friends computer monitor to your xbox they are much lighter lol. Thats what me and my friends did for the 16 player halo ce matches.

A review from the Guardian... move on.

Counter Strike..like 20 years ago. It was the definition of a shooter for "grownups".

porkChop973d ago

He isn't saying it's the only shooter for grown ups. He's saying that Infinite uses a more old school design, like classic Halos.

Tedakin973d ago

Halo Infinite MP is the best MP in a long time.

KillBill972d ago

"The more tactical, slower-paced combat of Halo Infinite makes older players feel at home again" - I don't know what he is talking about. I have always been a more tactical slow paced player in my Battlefield and mainly any type of game. But oddly enough I have been running Quake style in my Halo Infinite gaming sessions. I have been less tactical in Halo Infinite than any other multiplayer game I have played in some time. It has brought out the kid in me.

Xbox-exclusive Helljumpers could be competing with Helldivers 2 very soon

The absence of Helldivers 2 on Xbox continues to be felt by its players, as Arrowhead Game Studios’ team-based shooter remains one of the year’s most popular games. However, that could soon change with the impending arrival of developer The Forge Falcons’ Xbox-exclusive Helljumpers.

rlow137d ago

Didn’t know about this one. Will keep an eye out for it.

Cacabunga36d ago

Very original title.. wonder how they came out to that

Kurt Russell36d ago

It's just people having fun in forge, calm down

RaidenBlack36d ago

'Helljumpers' is the nickname for Halo's ODSTs (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) and predates Helldiver franchise by about 11 years.
calm down.

PhillyDonJawn36d ago

I can enlighten you. ODST a type of marine in Halo orbital drop shock trooper. Aka helljumpers.

Christopher36d ago

Yeah, Helljumpers existed prior to Helldivers.

BISHOP-BRASIL36d ago

Ok, so Helldivers guys want to fight Helljumpers guys... I'm just gonna leave this here.

so... this is a mode for Halo?

gold_drake36d ago

"As always, we look forward to bringing the Helldivers 2 experience to Halo Infinite"

should you be chasing someone elses concept? make your own and stand out.

this is a lazy, imo, thing to do.

Redgrave36d ago

In this case, I will say that's a poor argument because look at all the soulslikes and such. There will always be the first, and then all the imitations/inspirations that follow.

gold_drake36d ago

sure, they specifically call out helldivers tho ha

repsahj36d ago

Even the name is so unique?

dumahim36d ago

Following a game type trend is one thing, but to do that and come up with a name that's very similar as well takes it to a whole new level. In the movie biz, they call stuff like this a "Mockbuster" movie, kind of like Transmorphers.

RaidenBlack36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

ODST ('Helljumpers' is their nickname) as a concept existed way before Helldivers 1 (by about 11 years) ... it was never properly executed in the Halo FPS games' multiplayer ...

PhillyDonJawn36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

It was revealed 343 actually had plans to release a side halo game with that concept but MS turned it down.

To those making comments about the name, thinking theyre ripping it/copying. Yall clearly don't play Halo 😂

DustMan36d ago

Hasn't really been worth revisiting for quite some time now.

PhillyDonJawn36d ago

@dustman True or not doesn't change anything I said. Anyone that was around during halo 3 and after knows what ODST are. They even had visor colors called helljumper.

isarai36d ago

I don't think a forge map is going to match Helldivers 2 🤣

jznrpg36d ago

Funny. Reminds me of Chinese knockoff games

Relientk7736d ago

When I read the title, that's what I thought it was.

I wish these would be in the game

just_looken42d ago

I wish they made the game a actual last stand all the know spartan teams halo wars 2 crew together with other unsc forces fighting in space and on the ground.

But nope one spartan again on a open bland map with good combat but a meh story and marines that still act the same.

With so much time gap you think the marines would have better armor and the Spartans would have special guns beyond the laser made for them.

Do no get me started on the opening cinematic were atrox gets taken out.

The lack of flood/blood overall rating decrease what a letdown this game was halo wars 2 last decent halo game for me.

Tacoboto42d ago

These don't read like they really would've made the game better, just even less like Halo. Except for biomes - how the heck they only had one biome is the biggest disappointment.

I'll watch the actual video later.

just_looken42d ago

It was the power of the 2000 xbox and 2005 xbox 360 only there we could get coop and more than one biome.

Toecutter0042d ago

The fact that when you boot up the game it immediately takes you to the multi-player menu (a first for the series), rather than to the campaign says everything you need to know about 343i, Xbox, and Microsoft Studios.
