Halo: Combat Evolved just surprise launched on Steam | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Three months after Halo: Reach hit PC, Master Chief is back in the spotlight. Holy shit! Didn't expect this so soon. Installing right now!

I have played and completed the demo, actual CHILLS. The graphics are unbelievable, the depth of character form people like Jesse, Biggs and Wedge is fantastic (this was one of my gripes about the original, I didn't really care when they died fighting under the plate). The battle system is different but certainly more exciting - it didn't take me long to work it out at all. I love how they've changed some of the dialog to start fleshing out Cloud from the start, not a massive fan of Barrett's 'Mr T' voice but he's a little less 'gangsta rapper' than he was in advent children. The camera situation was weird but after messing with the settings I fixed it so it would follow me rather than me having to readjust. My only criticism? I have to wait another 4 weeks for the full game.

I'll use this thread to provide some basic tips that aren't always apparent. In no particular order 1. Switching between 1st and 3rd persons = F4 key 2. Free look while in 3rd person = hold down Z key while you move with mouse 3. Before taking off and landing, check in with landing services via comms in MobiGlass = F1 4. Check fuel status after a while. Can refuel at plenty of places. 5. If space cops come at you, immediately stop and you'll avoid a massive fine. 6. Best early missions are deliveries as they are good earners and help you get your bearing in the universe 7. In the MobiGlass contract menu there are tabs for general and personal jobs. Personal deliveries tend to pay higher as they may be slightly illegal. 8. If you do any investigation or mercenary job, buy guns and medikits before you go. 9. In some ships you can sleep and log off in the ship, and wake up on the ship next time you log in. If you logged off in your ship on a planet you'll awake in the same place, if you logged off in a space station, you'll wake up there, if you logged off in your ship in space you'll wake up in a space but not necessarily where you logged off. More to come as they come to me...

If I have a clear credit card, debt-wise arounr November, which should be about right, I think I'll pick up the Steam VR. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Turn your sensitivity down to the lowest and build it up. Saying "play on sensitivity x" means nothing as there are a load more variables at play which dictate how fast your cursor moves in relation to your hand movements. Some people will say that playing on sensitivity 1 is best for them, whilst others will say "lol noob I play on 10" - what neither of these super elite CoD players realise is that there's a 50k DPI difference in their mice so they're playing on the same effective sensitivity. Christ one thing I learned very quickly on Sunday was that I seem to have lost all ability to aim with MKB, so I'm also starting low and building up until I'm happy with it. I can't hit the broad side of a barn at the moment.

There's loads of these old vids on YouTube, they look so much better with modern technology added, very fascinating. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Yep. Separately I need to work at KB&M stuff as I can't be competitive and good enough until I try on lesser chilled games abit more.

It's like going into a time machine - what a great job they've done with this

I'm liking the risk/reward of sneaking a bounty in the last minute or losing your entire character. Might start a separate thread on loadouts. Be good to start understanding what works well with each other. One thing I would say though is I only enjoy playing in a group of people I know. Co-ordination is key in the game and knowing that people here have your back and have an idea on which way to go helps way more than you realise.

Good news @Plumbers Crack the patch coming in a week or so will finally bring persistence. Limited but it includes whatever you earn being kept between patches, so I'm happy.

On the website they have a mechanic which shows you how much an upgrade would cost. Depends on the price of the ship you want to upgrade to. I went from the Aurora to the 300i and then to the Cutlass Black but the first upgrade was discounted. Look out for a sale and I'll keep an eye for you too. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Played through the demo and was really impressed with the visuals and characters. They have done a great job with the cast and writing. Gameplay was ok but nothing special - practically the same combat as FF15 with more linear environments. I would've preferred an updated turn-based battle system instead. Framerate also feels ghastly. Not sure if I'll get this anytime soon especially with the other big games out in this period but I think it's about as good as it could be.

Thanks to having some of the most amazing friends in the world, I now own this on PC. Let me first state that I had zero interest in this game. I judge games a lot by the folks who play them, and Rachel, Phil, @Nutcuttlit, @J&B and a few others all have one thing in common: survival games. These games aren't my bag, I need an end, an objective, something to achieve. I thought that this was going to be just another survival game with a bit of a twist. I couldn't have been more wrong. First off, with everything maxed out at 3440x1440, I never dip below 70fps. For a game which is this stunning, that's seriously impressive, but then let's not forget that this is the studio behind "but can it run Crysis". I did the tutorial mission and killed the spider, but not once I'd thoroughly shat myself. Holy shit, what a mindfuck. I then hopped in a few games with @phil bottle and @tronic44 and the tension in this game is like nothing I've ever experienced before. The immersion and atmosphere is on a whole different level. The monsters are quite possibly the most fucked up things I've seen in a game since STALKER. The sound design in this game is also ridiculously good. The amount of times we were just walking around only to shit ourselves because of some fucking birds is ridiculous. We lost every match I was in but this game is very different to anything I'm used to so it's going to take a bit of practice. It's a bit Battle Royale, a bit Escape from Tarkov and even a bit of Gambit from Destiny. The ideas and concept behind the game are superb. I've not yet mastered the whole hunter customization thing, will need to have a go at that tonight maybe. Oh and at one point Phil and I were approaching a building when I saw an immolator walking around on a roof. I remarked to Phil about how awesome it looks, Phil says "yeah they can also run at you like motherfuckers" and at that literal exact moment I turn around to see one of these cunts bearing down on me at a billion miles an hour only to explode in my face. That moment will forever be etched in my memory and is hopefully a sign of things to come. TL;DR, graphics are superb, sound is superb, gameplay is superb, I think this could be a good one for a while.

The biggest tip, certainly for myself and @Plumbers Crack is learn the controls. They're really simple once you get the hang of it: A&D = strafe left & right. Q&E = yaw (spin) left & right. Space = vertically up (jump jets if you will). Ctrl = Down (opposite of space). W&S = faster & slower. Phil's tip no. 3 is a big one for me personally as I've probably spent over an hour just wondering how to get my ship out of a hangar. You need to ask them. Facepalm.jpg. Hoping to get on tonight, now that @tronic44 has the game he can hop on too!

So it turns out that all the projects for this year are coming through which leaves me with zero time to eat, breath and edit. Pretty sure i fit 2 weeks into last week 😴 This means i'm relying on you guys to pick up the pieces, i will of course be creating some videos but i probably won't be able to do any series or if i do the amount will be limited. Apologies for this as i was really looking forward to making lots of videos this year. I will how ever still create a forum montage for the year/6 months, so do keep sending videos to the google drive. If anyone feels like making some videos then go onto the google drive and take what you need. The drive has been set up, not only for me but for all of us. Also i will be here on and off so if anyone has any editing questions, fire them my way. Apologies again. ❤️

Can. Not. Wait. for persistence to arrive. The idea we get to keep stuff and everything is remembered fills me with great happiness. Although, maybe they can remove the 20k bill I have over my head first for speeding.

Then we'll have to give it another go! 👍
