The Halo 2 soundtrack has been my go to for driving for like the last month. It’s unreasonably good

They’re in the base game, but only in the unstable release for Build 42

Tic Tac Toe is still a pretty good time though. Legit that was how i killed time growing up, and even now, the number of spontaneous tic tac toe games i’ve started in games while playing with friends is pretty high

I think so unfortunately. I don’t think i could handle higher but i’d love to give it a try just once

Definitely, the item balancing is funny until you’re on the receiving end.

Does it work with native hardware? I know most Switch emulators all support multiplayer in some capacity but a large percentage of my friend group i think would get afraid if i tried explaining a ROM to them

I play with my PS3 (sometimes PS5) controller hooked up through Steam. No way i could use wiimote for this

Wii is like the only game where i cant pull off the timing for it, otherwise my finger will just get sore waiting for it

I hadn’t even thought about the fact it’s a different time period. It keeps skipping my mind that this doesn’t take place closer to the movies despite the fact i know it

It was a complete accident too. Poor rat, it got confused for a chest and hurled at a campfire

I’m thankful to have them to play games with. We all went to highschool and when me and my best friend were doing our Halo 2 Legendary run and about to move onto 3 we mentioned it to one of our other friends and they offered to join for 3. Then the 4th guy joined and by then we had kind of gotten a group together. I’m glad we were able to reconnect in that way

The forge based maps have some really solid ones. There’s one called Asylum (I think?) that I like to play Slayer on. it’s got like this little tower in the center with bridges connecting it too two other platforms.

The high charity level was unbelievable. It just tossed you in front of some needler grunts and Brutes and called it a day. To this day the line “Watch out for the Captain, it’s got a Brute Shot” is still burned into my mind because of how many times I had to hear it

zealot feels perfect for Infection. I’m not sure if it’s the right corridors or what but it feels like the Infection map

Damn. Me and a friend took months to finish Halo 2 on legendary. I think I’d do a yearly replay if it wasn’t for that. I have lots of respect for you doing the replays

That’s what. I’ve been trying to get into game dev myself multiple times the last few years and it’s difficult. I can’t imagine getting one game out, let alone a second one. Getting that far I imagine has to drain a person

Some people find it to be repetitive and low effort, which, as much as I love doing these, I can understand their perspective. The last few days have been mostly Halo and Zomboid (and Shadow of Mordor one time) while I finish the move over to CachyOS. So I kind of understand where they’re coming from.

I still enjoy it though, and as long as other people are enjoying it, I’ll probably keep going (or until life requires too much time of me).

I didn’t discover this game until a few years ago, it blew my mind to find out it used to be 2D. I kind of want to go check out the oldest builds just to see what it’s like

That’s really the only thing keeping us from jumping ship to Build 42. Once it gets it I don’t think there’s much keeping us from switching over, especially with all the new building stuff

It really is. At least for me, that’s where I have a lot of my fun.
