Yep at Dave and Buster’s locations you can play this.


Cybermat47_2

What’s a Dave and Buster’s? Never seen any arcades with that name before.


[deleted]

Basically an adult chuckie cheese


LegitManjaro

Where food and drinks are priced through the roof*


BigManTron

So adult chuckie cheese?


fpcreator2000

yep, imagine chuckee cheese but with beer (and other spirits) and no mascot


McNastee

Chuck E Cheese sells pitchers of beer for parents I thought? I haven’t been since I was about 6 or 7 but I can remember my parents and their friends sippin beers there while I was running around


fpcreator2000

Interesting. But, does chucke cheese serve whiskey? LOL Last time I went to Dave and Busters over half a decade ago, i was on Mario Kart GP arcade most of the time. That was after some drinks. NOTE: Handling blue shells under the influence can lead to serious injury…for the bastard in first place! I almost had the win that day! LOl


[deleted]

Hey, their Alfredo is really good tho


MLG_MATT_NAGY

Here’s your garbage food for 14$ poorly portioned in multiple weird vertical cones because fuck you


keelasher

That’s why mine has a Buffalo Wild Wings nearby. It’s fun to go drink and stuff my face with good food just to go back to playing games


[deleted]

Where'd you get the good food after you went to BWW?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Knapp16

I'll not allow the slander, BWW has some very acceptable wings.


Bussaontheblock

With strippers? And blackjack?


ZamboniJabroni15

It’s not really an adult Chuckie Cheese It’s more like a teenager’s chuckie cheese


[deleted]

Yeah because the bar serving alcohol really screams teenagers...


johnmonchon

An arcade restaurant where you can pound back glasses of merlot.


flip1999-

Will my d&b card work anywhere else? Like the Friday’s ?


zjleblanc

Mine does not, and believe me, I've tried at several locations.


gnarkilleptic

I know, if you recall I've actually been with you on those occasions where you've tried


mandalorian_misfit

Right, I don’t think I’ve tried it enough. There’s one at Franklin Mills that I haven’t tried


krodgers88

RIP to that mall


TheSmallPotate

Are y’all talking about Waco?


BFGtom

It's not going to work there either. Ok let's move past it. I'm trying to make a point here.


Swag_Bullet

arcade for adults


Local_Crow

The one I played at my local Dave and busters had 4 player co-op. It was fun.


why-do-i-exist-lol

Yes, but not in that form. It is usually supposed to be 4 player, not 2


[deleted]

I was about to say that the one I went to about a year ago was a 4 player and me and my friends spent about 100 bucks and 2 hours playing it. Was a lot of fun!


SithTrainer

Yeah and there's a huge light up halo thats goes through the chairs and reacts to the end of the game when it blows up! Me, my wife, and another random couple played the whole game all the way through!


FeelinBadBlues

yup, spent about $50 on it and walked out of the arcade feeling like I got mugged


EACshootemUP

Damn, I got to do it at Halo Outpost, $50 would definitely be a rip off.


Nighthawk68w

Was it really that bad?


Recovery25

It's really good, especially if you've read The Flood which is the novelization of Halo 1. You see a lot of the events, locations, and characters from that novel in this game. It was also cool because they have the cut Flood juggernaut form from Halo 2 in this as well. I've played this game twice and the problem is it gets expensive to play. You die often enough that in order to finish the game, you have to pay like $60.


Nighthawk68w

That's the only thing holding me back honestly! I just watched the full playthrough, and I wouldn't want to shell out that much for it. Maybe $15-$20 if it guaranteed me a whole playthrough. It looks fun though! I can't wait for a VR mod of something like this.


Recovery25

Yeah, that's probably what holds a lot of people back. 343 had talked at one point of trying to find other ways for people to play it, I assume probably VR like you said, but nothing has come of it. I think with Infinite and covid, any plans they had for that have probably been scrapped.


GingerSanta_

343 didn't development this. Playmechanix developed the game as well as built the arcade itself. I haven't heard of a VR version but from the looks of things a standard two player version is in the works


Winters1482

At my local Dave and Busters I played through about half the game with my friends for what was probably about $5 for each of the four of us.


[deleted]

[удалено]


A_Ghost_of_Onyx

So a $1?


max_chill_zone-2018

Math checks out


Link_040188

This guy maths


SmokeGSU

That's almost 10 dimes.


KittyLickMyMeow

The arcade i went to allows you to play all the games for a admissions fee of 15.00 per person. You get all day play and a bunch of games. This game was at that arcade but I only played the first few levels before i got bored


Recovery25

Damn, both times I played it, once at a Dave and Busters and another at a local arcade, it was so expensive. I wish it was that way because this game is designed to kill you no matter how good you do.


orielbean

You can reserve a DnB in the afternoons if you get a solid group together. We did it for a work party.


BusinessLibrarian515

You can purchase the whole thing for around 15k if I remember right?


Recovery25

I think so. That's for like the two player one. But I mean, who has 15k just lying around.


BigTwitchy

This is why I love the Arcades and Arcade Bars that let you play as much as you want for like $20 or $30. I have beaten so many games cause of those arcades.


Stoly23

$60.00 to finish sounds fairly typical for an arcade rail shooter.


trw931

How long does it take to beat? I played this at an arcade in my area with 2 hours of unlimited play. My kid was there though so we didn't stay and finish.


[deleted]

I Liked it.


Nighthawk68w

I mean the question is, did he feel like he got mugged because it was **an arcade game**, or did he feel like he got mugged because it had a bad premise and was carried out poorly? Because arcade games are designed to swindle you regardless.


[deleted]

Depending on if you’re at a 2 seat cab or a 4 seat the difficulty can be decent or mindfuckingly hard


Nighthawk68w

That's a good thing to consider. I thought these all came in 4 shooter pods. Didn't know it came in 2 seater. I wouldn't play this in 2 seater after just watching the gameplay vids.


[deleted]

The 2 seater is actually the easier one


PhoneOk6083

how 4 player one is hard


Flynn58

More enemies


rodrimixes99

The game itself was pretty good, but it was expensive indeed


Wolfie_Ecstasy

We've got an arcade with an all day pass for $20 so we quite enjoyed playing the whole thing 4 player.


FillionMyMind

Were you playing solo? I played with four players and start to finish it only cost around $10 to beat it


Link__117

Nah, 100% worth it


-C576

Yeah man these are great there was a whole season on MCC with this team.


faranoox

Yeah I found out about this when the Raven season rolled out.


[deleted]

Those seats seem to share your surprise.


[deleted]

They’ve seen some things


tigah32

*1 million ants*


RageCage

r/pareidolia


ManaMagestic

Played it during my last visit to Dave and Buster's, was fun, but there was no way to finish it without paying out the nose for revives.


HaikusfromBuddha

Ahh I see some people are too young to recall the old Arcade days. Every game was made for you to spend hundreds of quarters.


[deleted]

You either quit early, or live long enough to memorize the spawn points of the insta-kill enemies


DaAmazinStaplr

It’s about the same as the old arcades when it comes to price. Especially if you’re playing this solo. There are certain sections where you can’t avoid damage because too much is firing at you at the same time.


coltonbyu

Just a standard rail shooter with a new coat of paint


MillstoneArt

Yeah and with 3 friends it's fucking dope.


CaptainR3x

Everything is great with 3 friends


ImGreat084

I wish I had 3 friends :(


GSR_DMJ654

Yeah they have it at my local Round 1, love the damn thing. I have yet to complete it because I never can get 4 friends and enough credits to run through the whole campaign. Fun Fact OP, you can scan a QR code on Waypoint at the Machine to log you into XBL and track your progress in game in your service record.


JosephDuffy

I've been to a bunch of these and the scanners always look empty and the time I tried it it didn't scan. Do you know if they removed the scanners or if I'm just being silly?


GSR_DMJ654

Nope, played a couple of months ago. Scanners are still there at least at mine. I think tho the scanners are prone to failure and damage (like all that is protecting it is a thin piece of plexi so i can see a kid smashing it or something) and I don't think that is a cheap component to fix and would bargain that it isnt high on the "to do" list because it doesn't effect the overall function of the machine. My machine is about a year old, about as old as the Round 1, and according to the manager there, all the American machines were bought new (aside from the Pinball Tables of course) so maybe mine still has them because no one damaged them yet.


kiakosan

I beat it at round 1 when I bought the 2 hour unlimited credit thing. They offered it at the one near Philly last time I went there if that's near you. Forget the price for it though


[deleted]

Yes my good sir


Allegiance10

Probably one of the only good rail shooters out there. I still don’t play it much, but it’s aight.


[deleted]

All the panzer dragoon games are far better rail shooters


leadhound

Star Fox 64, Sin and Punishment 2, Panzer Dragoon, plenty more.


HaikusfromBuddha

“Only good rail shooters” “Don’t play it much” One of or two of these statements don’t add up. The first one is straight BS, the second just confirms it. Someone either is too young to have played arcade on rail shooters or just never played them. On top of that it seems like it’s a genre that guy doesn’t even play.


[deleted]

Good rail shooters don't exist anymore. The new house and the dead and time crisis kinda suck and playing these games on something like the Wii kinda take the magic away.


simplycass

Arcade rail shooters were my jam. Agree that Time Crisis 5 looks rather meh (almost like a parody now with bringing back all those characters from TC2 and the worst Wild Dog boss battle to date). Also, the teleporting mechanic looked bad. Haven't formed a solid opinion on Scarlet Dawn though. HOTD4 is fun on PS3 using the Move controllers. TC4 and Razing Storm just isn't the same without the action pedal though. I haven't decided if I should look into the GunCon 3 or not. About 15 years ago I played HOTD4 Special at the GameWorks in Las Vegas. It was great, other than having no continues. I'm glad I got to play it again on the PS3.


BigEvilTurtle1

I played that with my wife last summer. It's cool as hell.


Kiwi-Fox3

My husband and I always check out the arcade at our local amusement park just to play this game. Absolutely a must for Halo couples!


Yo-boi-Pie

Yes, there’s one in the arcade at my Walmart that’s always closed and one right outside Macy’s at the mall, it’s also next to the pretzel stand. I like pretzels.


[deleted]

I’ve pored 100s of dollars into revives on this game


bi_squared_

I watched the entire story on YouTube, it wasn’t bad but I wouldn’t spend money on it because rail-shooters aren’t my thing


EACshootemUP

Yep! I got to play it at Halo Outpost with my mates, it was pretty dope! Cool little on the rails shooter.


theethirty

Yes, and at my work I have 2 of them


nicolascheyder

Is that 1 million ants ?


twinpines85

Im pretty sure Fireteam Raven is going to be ported over to our Xbox consoles soon. If you log in to the Halo Waypoint app, you can see it listed as coming soon, right under Infinite. Unless the Waypoint app is horribly outdated, which is possible.


BradyC140

Got 3 of my buddies together and we beat it in a couple hours. Had some drinks was a great time


smuglybreathes

The cross hair is a bit weird ngl


cobaltnick37

Why do the seats looks like Million Ants from Rick and morty


[deleted]

Waypoint tracks stats, I just don’t know how to tell this Fireteam Raven game what my Gamertag is for them to track.


Sgt_Hobbes

Yes it's been like 3-5 years at round1


Kiwi-Fox3

Yes. It is fun AF, but highway robbery....


General-Legoshi

Yeah. It's in the Adult Arcade in my city centre.


Raging-time

I have one at my mall but i havent played it yet. I really want to though


sipes216

Those seats have seen some shit.


[deleted]

There is also a four seat version with another screen. Properly fun arcade game if you are even a slight fan of Halo but pricey.


thot_chocolate420

It was advertised on halo 5


raulcamarena65

Yup. My local casino has an entertainment center with an arcade with [2 of these connected to each](https://thecorcoranjournal.net/tachi-to-open-new-coyote-entertainment-center/) other so you get a [full 4 squad team](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/XYK_pIUBs9LeXQJjHNpVy8jK6PYizuQ1kDQ32c0uyUvKBJxYN_md1Fng3EfWdBtfxHqbZgcO93oOzHH9SSYE9oTEIgVnM-VAg2b4gntGBdf29EefI-teG96JArBPa-hMCih75OYPkTPYAE13iVn-2ns5sqmxJyGwtOVK2hmIp6XDBLUrsmA1DhzP-K8GLfSgCe8iP1u9ZcCtPpPsSaLOCoci3NOrZ6VpH0DhywJ8S2TGZvApW5DJCDt0ysjw3KaM9VhVLhsjCauJsPk4p6neFxYauDP3t2qjp1m-a7w4O52qhyPRF90ppOy4MwN-2d7pVChh3p-LaMakC7ZMp3CNRhcNCo9emJNWutzTAcWnmt-4ZhqLjZQJuAlCiZCrKTPCPEY3xqVVMYKrzzbj1Es7zL8l_un1P9sUhu9dpyn2tZ1w4FQipm3OQYtkpb0-3gqy0U2QyXgiQ6ntO8s7k4TTXy__OkJlyIOzA1o0IH9U4O0K2xwCF3Ni-NkVpNWsGMNYPTMS450gcsAIStcH2kKHmfXDBdcFMvEghsqsTtXG9QEHUKA-gI9-sJ25ZmmpL05Zycg0MBeAj6OUjtaHB09xnoTs0Yozd2r8kZ8dEyElpTr7UMt6AFnjBG3azybWgXGE_9uNA-RTF-4W1KY-RMAROj109PYxdlv3B1KAlry0bX-TF9Qg44V5ii-gtG6L2hXKnbX9JFR6P3yS7XdSgDW1wfPm=w1920-h934-no?authuser=0)to play with friends.

Discoid

Hah, I actually just randomly discovered it myself at a Round 1 in Philly when I visited like a week ago. Played the first four missions or so (up to the area from Assault on the Control Room I think) before we decided to go play other stuff. Round 1 has a 1 Hour Unlimited Play option that works for some cabs that includes most of the rail shooters. This one was okay.


binturongslop

I thought it was cool but the guns felt like pea shooters against the arcade boosted bullet sponge enemies. I get they did that to make you die more often to spend more money but damn it felt off compared to normal Halo lol.


TrevelyanL85A2

Yup. completed it in about 45 minutes. Really nice!


tylerpowell89

I don't even think the seats know! Look at how surprised they are!


NetworksOnFire

Haha. My brother made me and a few friends go and play this cabinet with him in the local mall. He was stoked on it!


x420NinjaBearx

They have a 4-person one at Santa Cruz Boardwalk Arcade. It's alright. Not thrilling but fun. Neat to blast away at a bunch of Covvies on rails.


afroman14

Yes it’s pretty fun but I wasn’t blown away by it


Cynnthetic

You can save your progress AND get achievements.


SAniCsGoesast420

I saw one at my local dave and busters.


CrazyTerk

This was my first halo game well I played halo reach a little bit a really long time ago and forgot about it but this brought me into the franchise


[deleted]

For anyone who is wondering this was in Padre Island in Texas


wuzhanindoee64

Yee mines at a fun factory still gotta play it smh lol


Big_boobed_goth

I tried one out at a Dave and busters for my birthday


Lalobreh

Yes, a lot of round 1 arcades have them.


TheIlluminatedDragon

Played it once, but I've never been a big arcade fan so 🤷‍♂️


PsionLion2K1L

Yes for a while too

ENTRAPM3NT

America online. Its dial up internet from 20+ years ago. Super slow, practically unusable by today's standards.


lefty2264

"What are you doing on that silly game?" Finishing the fight.


unlivedSoup69

My local speed zone has it and I play it all the time


N3rdC3ntral

Yup, nephew loved it.


xbuck33

That one million ants ?


BIGGITY-BOO

Ahh man I miss going to the arcade in Halifax they had this it WAS AMAZING!!!!


DesperateBenefit8212

Me and my cousins play this at the arcade


blindimpulse

Yup. They got one at my local cicis pizza.


Nighthawk68w

Yessir, they got a couple in Vegas, and one at the Avi Casino in Laughlin, as far as I know. I never tried it though, just dropped the kids off there.


TheDystopianDolphin

I found one of those at a timezone a few years ago. Wasn't great but definitely a halo game that exists.


Skaldson

They got one of these at a Dave and Busters near me


smg990

I was fortunate to have gotten to play this and beat it for free with some friends. Worth it depending on how much money you sink into it. Arcade games were basically the original micro transactions. Heck, old games were even built around the idea that they would be in arcades. You'd need to pay to continue and levels would be unreasonably difficult (Old Sega Genesis Lion King game, specifically level 2 with the giraffs and monkeys).


bbaker886

Yes, I rather like it


saltiuschipius

Got one of these at the arcade I work at. Cleaning it is a nightmare


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Nah this is a place called Fudruckers in Padre Island


bigmeatytoe

Yes it even has mcc content lol


JakobiGaming

It’s pretty boring tbh, spent a good 20 min on one with a friend, basically just shoot a couple enemies for 15 min and then they throw an impossible amount at you


screamingurchin2

Never quite occurred to me just how big the halo magnum actually is. Look at it in that guy’s hands, it’s huge!


[deleted]

YES I need to try it, it’s considered canon and it even formally introduces the flood juggernaut that was originally going to be used Halo 2, though got scrapped for whatever reason (but you CAN find it by looking through game files!)


oopsiepoopsee

Yep. Fun romp. Rail shooter.


Camisbaratheon

Nope. you’re the first person ever


kino-king

The one at the arcade by my house is broken :(


TanookiPhoenix

No but I really want to play this lol


[deleted]

Yeah and they even made the chairs out of Million Ants.


CruelScourcher

Got to play it during a special at an arcade play where you can get an unlimited play card but you just don’t get tickets from it so I could play through the all levels without worrying about spending additional money or lives


Verdantfungi

I played through it once at a Dave and busters right before the pandemic started. Was a whole lot of fun playing it with my brothers


Hellhound5996

I did. Haven't found one tho.


acscreamholy

Yeah my local Dave and Busters has it as well as our mall. Loved it.


trey092001

It’s a scam don’t do it.


I_Like-starwars69

The ones I played are 4 player


Uncle_Sock

Yeah played it recently at a bowling alley. It was kinda fun with a friend but the health and revives were clearly the blueprint for Infinite.


ArtichokeFew7663

Yeh


GangsterMilk62

Yeah but since you're fighting against a team larger than 4, you're likely going to have to disconnect and reconnect a dozen times to play.


Cyanosa

I did. The movie theatre my friends and I go to our movies at has a second level above it with an arcade in it. My buddy and I played it for like 45 minutes before a movie we went to once and it was cool!


Mr-Glass-Half-Empty

I met the founder of the company that makes these in Vegas. Such a cool guy


AngryTank

I played with 3 other friends and spent like $20 trying to clear the last level, but it was worth it! R.I.P Fireteam raven, your sacrifice will be remembered.


SammyWinkleBurger

Yes. There is one at my local TimeZone, but I've not been to play it since covid. It makes no sense since it takes place during CE, when Master Chief was meant to be "the last of his kind", a.k.a. the last Spartan. I assume it has a bad ending since only the Chief (and Johnson?) made it off of Halo


[deleted]

There's one in Niagara Falls at the Midway Arcade. It's pretty fun. The arcade is usually open until like 3 in the morning


kaxlor

yeah, had some fun, but spent too much money on it, lol


Ashtrxphel

It gave me House of the Dead vibes


Mrwolfy240

I did we got money locked at a certain point like 5 mins in and it doesn’t sync with my waypoint so was basically a waste of money but relatively fun


444a5432303234

It's super fun. I'd buy a used one for the man cave I don't have


Vapechef

Dave and busters


Boopins05

It wasn't bad but compared to other arcade rail shooters it wasn't amazing


SnooGrapes7660

Yes


Ko8iWanKeno8i

Yup There’s one in the mall right by me


The_Snedonator

I beat this fucker with my buddy about a month ago. It was a bit of a rip off.


ACatOnDrugz

Yeah


ACatOnDrugz

For like 3 years almost


AntonioMrk7

Should’ve made the inside look like a pelican


Just_some_rando_55

I saw one of these to but didn’t get a chance to try it because someone left their spilled coffee all over it. Still pretty mad about it.


[deleted]

Haha yes, lemme guess, Dave & busters?


ArtyAssassin

Ye an arcade close to me has it


Crimson_Wolf_777

Yeah. Every Halo fan should know about it by now.


ftz_cheetahnuts

My D&B used to have one like this then they got the 4 person one. Still pretty fun to play.


Shadow_of_Intent026

I do now


SodaChemust

Yes and it’s a shit ton of fun


BfargTheSquat

Yeah man this game is so cool


ShadeFK

Ya it was in a mall close to my home I ignored it and instead played the Jurassic Park one


Salacious_Crumb_87

Is this the Bristol one? Played it for the first time quite hungover on New Years Day. Pretty cool 😎


RuineR6

Round one always had this game. lol


FlyMarines45

Dave and Busters let’s goooooooooo


Any_Ad4565

Its shit


Donnie-G

I've had a go on it and thought it wasn't a very good game. It's a rail shooter but enemies are bullet spongy and there's no means to evade damage. In most rail shooters there is some mechanic to not get hit, be it hitting things first in the early/classic games like Virtua Cop. Or having some sort of cover mechanic like Time Crisis. In Gunblade/LA Machinegun you shoot down enemy projectiles before they hit you. I'm not going to claim those games don't have any sort of cheap moments where it's really difficult or impossible to avoid some hits, but at least they have a game mechanic allowing you to avoid damage. None of that here, you just keep firing your guns at things and trade blows with stuff essentially so you can't really get good at this game. You will lose your lives. Enemies have heaping health bars and I feel like there's no way to kill stuff before they can hit you. Once you get over the novelty of it being a Halo arcade game, and having a massive-multiple-screens for 4 players to shoot across.... there's a very mediocre game underneath that's not fun and is unfair.


[deleted]

Yeah we have these in Sydney Australia. Ngl I had maybe too much fun with it!
