Обзор halo 5: guardians

Звук и локализация Halo 5: Guardians

Объем локализации оказался на максимально возможном уровне — переведены все кинематографические ролики и сцены, поставленные на движке, сопутствующие диалоги между персонажами, которые они ведут во время боя, а также фразы той или иной группы врагов, с учетом их классовой принадлежности.

Качество локализации также на высоте — актеры озвучки приложили силы, дабы все персонажи звучали натурально, а также смогли передать их состояние при помощи необходимых интонаций речи, например, если идет бой, то фразы будут более громкими, быстрыми и интенсивными, в безопасных местах персонажи расслабляются и говорят медленнее, спокойней. Впрочем, не обходится без жарких споров.

Особенно радует тот факт, что каждый бой, благодаря диалогам между персонажами, становится намного интереснее и больше смахивает на реальность, а различные «фразы-поддержки», когда игрок убивает врага, держат градус веселья в тонусе, а порой и помогают сориентироваться во время тяжелого боя.Не забыли локализаторы перевести фразы врагов. Их исполнение на русском языке соответствует тому представлению, которое заложено согласно описанию каждого вражеского персонажа в рамках игрового мира. То, что враги обмениваются между собой информацией не скрытно и мы их слышим не должно вас смущать — так частенько делают разработчики.

Качество звука на достаточно высоком уровне, но нельзя сказать, что оно идеально. Больше всего бесит фоновая музыка во время длительных столкновений со сложными противниками — она играет по кругу и приедается как заевшая пластинка. В остальном саундтрек Halo 5 оставляет приятное впечатление.

Trivia[edit]

Gameplayedit

• Ten pieces of Mission Intel can be found on this level.
• The Tough Luck skull can be found by the left wing of a crashed Pelican with a sniper rifle, SAW, and battle rifle.
• The White Scar Plasma Caster can be found behind burning wreckage in the first site where Covenant are fought.
• The Vorpal Talon Energy Sword can be found on a ledge by the Alpha Core..
• The Twin Jewels of Maethrillian Binary Rifle can be found on a ledge overlooking the Epsilon Core.
• An can be found by the Shade turrets in the core valley.
• It is possible, but difficult, to get a Mantis in the final area with the Prometheans. Simply position a couple of Ghosts to act as stairs for the Mantis to get across. If it gets inside, it would make fighting the Prometheans, especially the last Knights, much easier to confront on Legendary.

Mistakes and glitchesedit

• Exuberant Witness’s line «Cortana was about to lock me out.» does not appear in the subtitles.
• Roland’s line «from Earth to the Outer Colonies» does not capitalize the latter term.
• It is possible, through careful maneuvering and stacking of vehicles, to bring the Mantis and/or the Ghosts into the final arena.
• Using an energy sword to increase the player’s walking speed will cause them to progress through the final corridor slightly faster, to the point of skipping the last Guardian pulse entirely. This further increases with the Vorpal Talon, which allows wielders to boost twice at a time.
• In the last cutscene, Buck is seen holstering his assault rifle on his back, but the weapon disappears for the rest of the cutscene.

Referencesedit

The Spartans’ armor suits malfunctioning during the end of the mission is a reference to Crysis 2 where the player character’s suit suffers malfunctions and cannot regenerate until after finishing the last level. In Crysis 2’s case, Alcatraz’s nanosuit loses power three times, while in Halo’s case, Cortana’s Guardian generates up to three pulse blasts which causes the Spartans’ armors to malfunction. Both protagonists are narrowly defeated before they make the final attempt to finish the fight.

Miscellaneousedit

• In Halo: Bad Blood, it is revealed that Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris were able to return to Sanghelios in the Pelican because 031 Exuberant Witness revealed that there were craft pulled to Genesis with the Guardians that they could use to escape the Forerunner planet. Once the Spartans reached the Pelican, Exuberant Witness opened up a slipspace portal for them to Sanghelios.
• In Cortana’s announcement, she excludes the Yanme’e which Edward Buck notes in Halo: Bad Blood. Buck is unable to blame her for doing so due to Buck’s own distaste for the creatures.

Bring the Fight to Your Home Computer

When Halo Combat Evolved came out in 2001 games were forever changed. It not only had a big impact on first person shooters but it also changed how we played games with our friends. Halo was a dominating force in the game industry ever time that a new game was released. People thought Halo would eventually start to dictate real life and have an influence on our military. 

Halo 5 is the latest game in the franchise being developed by 343 Industries and fans have always wanted to be able to play on the PC. 

Since the start, Halo has been an Xbox exclusive and wasn’t available on other systems normally.  Being one of the founding father figures for first person shooter it is only fair to want to be able to play the game on PC. Playing a shooter game requires precise accuracy and this is where the sensitivity on a mouse surpasses that of a thumb stick.  A mouse has the freedom to move at a faster more controlled speed and can be tweaked in settings to find the perfect feel to it.  Anyone who plays shooter games knows that you cannot compare the reaction and accuracy of a mouse and key board. We as fans of the game want to play Halo the way it is really meant to be played, on a PC.

The evolution of Halo throughout the years

Геймплей Halo 5: Guardians

Игровой процесс достаточно стандартен, хотя появление новых функций оказалось весьма трудным для перенесения на управление джойстиком — многие из них подразумеваются и используются в связках с обычными действиями, что первое время приводит к ошибкам — хочется сделать одно, а происходит совершенно другое.

Если вы еще не знаете, то мы напомним, что в Halo 5: Guardians появились такие фишки от разработчиков, как возможность высоко прыгать, быстро бегать, скользить и проскальзывать, наносить сильные удары по площади при падении после затяжного прыжка, а также функция Aim Down Sights во время бега — она не дает точно попадать, пока игрок стреляет «от бедра».

Еще один шаг для серии вперед — это повышенное количество техники на картах, касается это как однопользовательского, так и многопользовательского режимов. За счет джипов и глайдеров, вертолетов и банши, роботов и огромных танков, разработчики значительно разнообразили традиционный геймплей в духе «стреляй-беги».

Как вы понимаете, такая резкая смена парадигмы игрового процесса противопоставляет себя предыдущими играми серии. Однозначно сказать, что раньше было лучше, нельзя, но и хвалить новые возможности тоже не получается — уж больно они заточены на мультиплеер (да и там не всегда полезны), что уж говорить о синглплеере.

Сетевые режимы Halo 5: Guardians

Самое время поговорить о мультиплеере, который и является основой Halo 5: Guardians. Тут 343 Industries развернулась по максимуму — куча режимов, множество карт, а также внутриигрового содержимого, которое предстоит открыть. С первых секунд в мультиплеере чувствуется, что его долго полировали и мусолили, так что он вполне сможет затянуть игрока на несколько лет.

Да, не все тут новое, около 50-60 % контента заимствовано из прошлых Halo, хорошо знакомые режимы никуда не делись, однако разработчики учли опыт недавних Call of Duty, Destiny и Battlefield, сделав упор на острые ощущения от каждого матча, от каждого противостояния. Система подбора игроков достаточно честная и если вы играете плохо или не умеете на должном уровне, вас не будут направлять в команды хороших игроков. Да, будет не так весело, но хотя бы честно.

Halo 5

Для тех, кто уже порядком освоился в игре, разработчики предлагают совершенно новый режим — Warzone, который заимствует множество идей, в духе больших карт для двух команд по 12 человек в каждой и доступности различной техники, но есть и нововведения. Появились боссы-пришельцы, которые воюют против всех и наносят большой урон.

Для получения техники или лучшего оружия разработчики ввели систему ящиков с оружием, техникой и обмундированием. По мере достижения определенного ранга в матче, игрок может выбрать тот или иной ящик, а награда в нем будет случайной, но лучше, чем то, что у вас в руках. О том, как доминировать в этом режиме, можно узнать из отдельной нашей статьи.

Важно учитывать тот факт, что Halo 5: Guardians разрабатывалась с упором на киберспорт и для этого был выпущен специальный режим Arena. Он предназначен для профессиональных игроков в консольные шутеры и прекрасно раскрывается за счет большого потенциала и выверенного игрового баланса

Однако даже если вы не являетесь профи, то спокойно его можете попробовать, благо там все стандартизировано и у более прокачанных игроков не будет преимущества в виде более мощного оружия или редкой способности, как в других режимах. Во многом, все решает скилл, умение принимать правильные решения и занимать выверенные тактические позиции.

So how does one actually play Halo 5 on PC?

How To Play Halo 5 on PC — Multiplayer Gameplay + Impressions

It may surprise you that it is actually simple and only takes a few steps.

First you need to be running on a Windows PC. You shouldn’t be playing games on a Mac anyway but it is important that you have Windows because you will need to upgrade to the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. Why this one? Because in this version they offer you Halo Forge while the others do not. 

Next you have to go to the Windows Store, which you can access at the bottom of your screen on your task bar. Once in the store search for Halo Forge if it already isn’t on the home page. Click and download Forge, it is free and is a 36GB file. Once you have done all of that you should be able to open up the game and play!

It is important to note that this is a special version of Halo 5 for PC and only has the features of Halo 5’s robust Forge level editors. The creation process should be much easier using a mouse and key board than a controller. 

Looking down the sights at an enemy with assault rifle

Although most Halo fans are excited to see the game brought to life on the PC, some aren’t as happy and still are skeptical about how the game will truly preform. For people who have been playing PC games for a long time the lack of options is very frustrating. Halo was a game made for consoles and has always been that way since the first game. The transition of a game from console to PC can sometimes mess with how that game functions. For example, Halo was never a fast paced shooter so the need for the quick response of a mouse is not really needed. Also for a long time Halo was Xbox’s main title and having it transfer over to PC seems sort of odd.

Players want to be able to play the game how they play everything else on their PC. The trust players need to have in the Windows store running a game without crashing or getting messed up is worrying to some. The Windows store to some people is buggy, slow and hard to use. Another big worry of PC gamers is the lack of field of view (FOV) sliders. FOV is how a player screen looks during the game. It is how the player would see if they were in the position of their character. Not having the right settings can cause motion sickness and leave a player feeling queasy. Other complaints are that the chat lobbies are poor and you are capped at 60fps. While some of these are deal breaking problems to people others are able to look past it and enjoy the fun of the game.

A big draw to Halo for most people is the multiplayer. Everyone can remember those long nights at a friend’s house playing death match after death match until the sun came up. Being able to play with friends and people from all over is well worth the time you spend playing and at a free cost it is even better.

A team of Spartans

Moving forward with Halo 5 on PC we hope to see more improvements as well as more features. As of now you need to find 15 friends to play in a 16 person death match but it is still fun and makes for a good time. Developers at 343 Industries have said that they plan on eventually bringing a custom game browser feature to both versions of the game. This will make it easier to find new games and maps to play on. We hope that one day to even see a type of campaign mode on the PC. Even if it is a set of Forge created maps that mimic the actual story or better yet community made campaigns that everyone can load up and take on the adventure!

 We hope you enjoyed reading about Halo 5 on PC. The signs all point to it being possible and in a way already is. We just have to see where it goes from here! If you like this article and want to read more like it go to Gamersdecide.com and check out these other articles.

Now I know what you are thinking, how are we supposed to play an Xbox exclusive game on the PC?

Well there is a way and it might just surprise you.

In the past people have tried to get games from one platform to another but it never really works out well. The games either don’t work or are too glitched to play at all. Other attempts are modded versions of other games that are mainly reskinned textures. Don’t lose all hope thought!

 Recently Windows 10 has updated to their anniversary edition, if you go to the Windows 10 store they have a download for Halo 5 Forge. Forge is a mode in Halo where the player can design and create a map using the Halo props. It is popular for making custom death match battle maps and creating fun obstacle courses for you and your friends to race vehicles in.

E3 2013

“There was no ambiguity in not putting a number after the game. For me, what we showed wasn’t the game. Nobody should be confused on that. I didn’t really want to try to show something that was clearly a thought piece by the studio around where Master Chief is in his journey, and then drop the name after it and be somewhat disingenuous about that being the game. But I did want Bonnie to come out and say ‘First-person shooter. Master Chief.’ Because they’ll get the questions: ‘Hey, is this ODST? What are you guys doing?’ Bonnie comes out and reaffirms that 343 is building this game. It’s Master Chief. It’s a first-person shooter at 60 frames per second. It’s coming in 2014.”— Phil Spencer, regarding the teaser trailer

Xbox Wire

On May 16, 2014, Bonnie Ross, General Manager of 343 Industries, announced on Xbox Wire that the Halo game will be named Halo 5: Guardians and will be released in Fall 2015. Bonnie also announced that Halo 5: Guardians will run on a new and more powerful engine.

Hunt the Truth

Main article: Hunt the Truth

On March 19, 2015, Frank O’Connor tweeted a link to a Tumblr page called Hunt the Truth. On the page, there was countdown that had ended on March 22, 2015 at 1:00am UTC and had an image of the word «Traitor» engraved onto a bullet. The page revealed to be about a journalist and war photographer, Benjamin Giraud, who is trying to find the truth about the Master Chief.

Графика Halo 5: Guardians

Несмотря на всю критику, которую вылили на разработчиков, в визуальном плане Halo 5: Guardians является прекрасным примером того, что консоли текущего поколения еще способны выдать качественную картинку. Можно долго придираться к тому, что у игры постоянно скачет разрешение, особенно в однопользовательском режиме, что большая часть анимации проходит при 30 FPS, да и детализация уровней весьма примитивна — порой кажется, что в локациях Lost Planet 3 и то было больше деталей.

Однако технические аспекты вроде смены разрешения не бросаются в глаза, а огрехи графики нивелируются, во-первых, четко выдержанным общим стилем, во-вторых, дотошной проработкой того, на что игрок смотрит, в-третьих, невероятно качественными эффектами. Во время боя все эти светящиеся гранаты, подсвечивающиеся патроны и враги, световые мечи и яркие взрывы, придают игре незабываемый шарм и уже не хочется отвлекаться на разглядыванье недостатков.

Приятное впечатление от Halo 5: Guardians возникает и благодаря большому количеству роликов, повышающих общее впечатление от графики. Конечно, если рассматривать каждый квадратный метр локации и намеренно искать изъяны, то их можно найти, но если этого не делать, то впечатления от графики Halo 5: Guardians будут на высоте.

Чувствуется, что в техническом плане парни из 343 Industries затратили на оптимизацию максимум сил и выжали весь потенциал Xbox One.

Gameplay[]

Spartan Abilities

Main article: Spartan Abilities

In Halo 5: Guardians, armor abilities are replaced with Spartan Abilities. Spartan Abilities are distinct from Armor Abilities, in that they are not limited by cooldowns or pickups. Rather, they are base player abilities which can be used by all at any time, similar to Dual Wielding or Boarding. The seven Spartan Abilities are:

• Thruster Pack: Similar to Thruster Pack from Halo 4, except now there is movement in any direction.
• Ground Pound: While in air, you can slam down into the ground, potentially killing anyone below.
• Clamber: If you miss a ledge, you can pull yourself up.
• Slide: While sprinting, you can slide.
• Charge: While sprinting, you can slam into an enemy.
• Sprint: Sprinting like in Halo 4, but after a certain amount of time, you will achieve the perfect velocity to activate the previous two abilities. Sprinting will stop shield recharge.
• Smart Scope: A zoom function that applies to all weapons. Each weapon has a different degree of zoom.

Campaign

The campaign is roughly twice as long as Halo 4‘s campaign.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer in Halo 5: Guardians is split into two main play styles: the classic Arena experience, and the new 24-player game, Warzone. Big Team Battle is not present in the game at launch, instead it was replaced with Warzone, however it was added post-launch. Spectator mode is allowed within multiplayer matches. There are over 20 multiplayer maps at the launch of Halo 5. At least an additional 15 maps were added post launch, before June 2016.

Заключение

Вполне обоснованно можно сказать, что затрать 343 Industries достаточно времени и сил, кампания у Halo 5: Guardians получилась бы такой же прекрасной. Вероятно, в Microsoft решили, что сетевой шутер лучше подходит для продвижения платформы Xbox One, чем протяженная однопользовательская кампания, на что делает ставку конкуренты из Sony.

Еще один вывод, который напрашивается после прохождения Halo 5: Guardians — вряд ли шестая часть выйдет в ближайшее время, поскольку такие большие инвестиции не окупятся молниеносно или за год. Пятая часть пришла всерьез и надолго и, скорее всего, возможный скорый сиквел не будет так завязан на мультиплеер и может быть спин-оффом или совершенно другой историей.

В любом случае, если у вас отличное интернет-соединение и вы фанат сетевых игр, то Halo 5 определенно сможет вас порадовать как минимум возможностью играть с друзьями!
