[signal ivy]

new #roles role that tells people their preference of not minding being pinged or dislike being pinged

[crystal iron]

Okay

[signal ivy]

I think the ability to "try on" battlepass items like you can with shop items would be really cool

[coarse dagger]

Indeed

[crystal iron]

Yes

[wispy garden]

Hey does anyone still get those awful ping fluctuations in Infinite mp? I thought 343 patched it? Makes serves unplayable from time to time

servers*

[analog salmon]

as of the last few months it's only happened a few times to me

[tardy turtle]

49

[analog salmon]

I only play on European servers and they're generally okay for me

[crystal iron]

I had 12 ping to an EU server but it felt much higher, they still have issues

[analog salmon]

i mean to be clear they dont feel amazing

but where your ping spikes and it becomes just about unplayable doesn't happen very often to me

i see people posting about it a lot so i assume it must happen a lot more to others, maybe more likely in some regions then others

[crystal iron]

I'm assuming its not an actual server issue coz mcc works fine which also uses azure

[devout kite]

[ruby knoll]

Every copy of infinite is actually randomized

Each copy has a random amount of desync built in from the factory, explaining why the player experience is so variable

[crystal iron]

I'm going to unlink infinite from my steam account and download it again to test this theory

[tardy turtle]

Oh my god there's an Anchorman reference in one of the Mirage coatings LOL.... For Burgundy Spear: "Half the time it fools the enemy every time."

I'm going to be honest; that coating looks like pure gasoline. It stings the eyes.

[ruby knoll]

Gud

[stone raven]

why do alot of the banished in infinite wear covenant armor?

[rocky summit]

I gotta say I am enjoying the new update

[south kindle]

Many of the Banished were originally covenant soldiers. Some probably just took their armor with them. Others may have got their armor from raids against the Covenant.

[rocky summit]

Hopefully this will be the turning point for Halo infinite 🤞

[stone raven]

well the banished halo covenant armor make them feel more like the covenant then the banished

[tardy turtle]

The Jiralhanae seem to wear armor more in line with Jiralhanae aesthetics and culture, breaking from the Covenant norms. The Sangheili though, if I remember correctly their armor was more or less Sangheili in design back in the Covenant, as they were the second class of species

[stone raven]

well Sangheili are still treated well in the banished

[tardy turtle]

Ish. They're treated well if they earn themselves, but as the Jiralhanae are the primary, a Sangheili's status isn't granted

But I imagine the Sangheili would wear the armor that they do not because it's Covenant, but rather because it's Sangheili. As the Banished isn't like the Covenant, they're free to do so

[stone raven]

ok

[stone raven]

I hope that one day we is the covenant type 36 scarab in a future halo game?

[vast halo]

Is there no more halo infinite chat? They’re all rolled into one now?

[vast halo]

I want it in BTB

Along with the elephant

[stone raven]

Im going to send you A picture of the scarab please post it

[vast halo]

I don’t have image perms because the mods agreed it would make me too powerful 😢

[stone raven]

well you know what it looks like?

[vast halo]

Is it the same one from halo 2 in the city level?

[stone raven]

no

[vast halo]

Is it this? @stone raven

[stone raven]

agree im going to suggest it or btb

[stone raven]

no I sended you an image of it im dm's

[ivory glacier]

Why do I keep getting the same maps and wtf is up with the matchmaking. Had someone go 27-1, then 29-3. I play this game for 10 minutes and I just get annoyed

[vast halo]

That looks tight asl

[stone raven]

ok

[vast halo]

You are a

[stone raven]

oh shut up

[vast halo]

I’m just playin

[stone raven]

ok

[vast halo]

Don’t make me get the rat back out here

[stone raven]

fine

[vast halo]

Very nice

I feel like they should bring the scarab to btb and also animals

[tardy turtle]

https://www.halopedia.org/Sumda'te-pattern_Scarab

I don't think that would have much application in Matchmaking, unless it's a set piece

[vast halo]

You should get it if you go on a 25 kill streak, akin to the tactical nuke in mw2

[ivory glacier]

Still getting shot behind walls. Melees still trash. Don’t have the patience for this today

[devout kite]

It won’t fit on the btb maps

[crystal iron]

Make it fit

[devout kite]

343 would’ve to downsize it to make it fit and balance it

[tardy turtle]

I'd like to see the Locust in some BTB maps

As well, frankly, the return of the Mantis

[analog salmon]

until they add more vehicles in general to BTB I really dont care what they add to the game

like of the vehicles we have, put them on the actual maps

idk what happen to having say a banshee in each teams base

and some maps not having even a razorback makes no sense to me

[crystal iron]

I really do miss the OG all vehicles at start maps. And BTB heavies was so much fun

[analog salmon]

increased player count, decreases vehicle count. idk what the logic is

[rocky summit]

Having Tanks at spawn would be so much funner

I don’t understand why they don’t add them to spawn at the beginning of the game everybody’s been asking for it

[crystal iron]

The game would have Been good if instead of this Bigger Team Battle thing, they did something Like Ground wars. I love that mode In COD it's not sweaty and it's just chaotic fun.

[analog salmon]

or you know, the very first Halo game

[stone raven]

what does the interior of a covenant cas assualt carrier look like?

[tardy turtle]

Potentially hot take but the first Halo's playstyle is so outdated

[crystal iron]

So has 343 made any kind of response to HaloHubs post regarding them selling the same coating twice again.

It's brought up a lot of Concern over cross core.

I get it's the weekend but it's starting to trend on Twitter and Reddit, to the point you would think maybe they would come out and say hey we will be addressing more on this on Monday, or hey Cross Core isn't canceled. It's still coming and maybe like a few time-frames of when to expect it

But I can't seem to scape this feeling that we are about to get a vlog update announcing they won't be further developing Cross core.

[crystal iron]

I agree

I see bots using it all the time though

[analog salmon]

maybe since Staten's left they dont have anyone else willing to announce bad news

[crystal iron]

So I have hope

[crystal iron]

Perhaps, but the silence is concerning.

Cross core and PVE are prob alt the only two things that could get me to play the game a Bit more as well. I already got the weekly and the Event stuff. So for me the allure of the new season has slightly worn off

[coarse dagger]

I'm sure they'll address it early next week. People are entitled to take the weekend off

[crystal iron]

I understand that, how eer I think like a quick tweet saying that would help tone down all the flames that have spread from this.

Like at least some acknowledgement that they are aware of the commotion and will have more when they get back in the office

[analog salmon]

they should address things before it gets to this point. This _ storm is completely self inflicted, lets not pretend otherwise

[tardy turtle]

Question being who's inflicting it

[analog salmon]

I feel bad for the community managers but whoever told them not to address this and ignore the community for months is responsible

[crystal iron]

Yea Given the desire for Cross core, and their last statements saying they were working on more,

It only makes sense that the response be negative when Players see the Exact same Coating being sold separately for two cores.

It raises plenty of Concerns

[analog salmon]

if its bad news, Pierre Hintze or someone else senior should be the one to announce it, like with split screen co-op being cut. More likely they will make Unyshek take the backlash.

new management and nothing changes

[crystal iron]

Dude I feel so bad for Unyshek, the guy is pretty chill and just loves gaming, it sucks his role is to essentially be the Blunt taker when there is negative Stuff.

Granted It has toned down a lot. But this recent coating thing is not a good look

[analog salmon]

Unyshek and Tashi both

[tardy turtle]

The bad news wouldn't be so bad to deliver if a sizable portion of the fanbase didn't take any news the absolute worst way possible, consistently compare to their nostalgic memories of Bungie, and literally bully 343 staff. We create half the problems.

Like this. Is it bad? Sure. Just don't buy it until it gets sorted. The update came out, what, Tuesday? Patience is still a virtue

[analog salmon]

both guys are super down to earth when they can be

[crystal iron]

I think it's the history of bad news, As much as a Win that S3 is for 343 they are still somewhat of a bad taste in the communities mouth.

Obviously a lot has to do with the leadership making bad decisions. Even some.former 343 staff whom got laid off weren't holding back anymore in stating the bad decisions were 100% on the leadership, which I believe are now mostly gone... So Hopefully they don't start taking steps backwards. In their current gain of Good fortune with the community.

I think though if this goes in addressed for too long it will leave a void open for things to really get out of hand and undo a lot.ofnthenhard work the Base level staff have been putting into the game

[analog salmon]

radio silence on cross core goes back many many months. if its cancelled they've had a ton of opportunity

they chose to wait until the community is forcing them to address it

[tardy turtle]

Ton of opportunity to do what? Belay concerns born of speculation and impatience?

[analog salmon]

i mean it really all depends what the news is doesn't it

if next week they say "dont worry, its all in the works" then sure there's nothing in it

we'll see i guess

[crystal iron]

At this point then. Saying done worry it's in the works doesn't really sound convincing anymore

[tardy turtle]

But see, that's just my criticism. The only reason that there would be need for news is because people can't wait and take no news as good news.

[analog salmon]

because no news has been bad news

[tardy turtle]

Has it? There was news on split-screen, rather than letting it just fade away

[analog salmon]

thanks to Staten probably

[crystal iron]

The idea right now is to re build confidence with the community. Because they really have lost a lot of that, which does mean not making promises. But to ensure your not just saying vague things like Ok we are working on it...

Rather at some point give like general timelines of when you want to "try" to deliver said Content.

And If they are ahead of schedule they shadow drop it... This so far has worked for them. So they have to keep this momentum going

[molten ferry]

Hey so quick question to anyone who knows, I just completed the campaign level: Outpost Tremonius on LASO, took a break and left, clicked on a different normal save file since I wanted to see what difficulty it was on, clicked back on my LASO run, and noticed all skulls were turned off, I havent loaded into it yet but did I just screw up my run?

[tardy turtle]

I don't think that'll screw it up; just make sure all the skulls are on for the next level

[molten ferry]

Well I hope youre right. Due to the save bug, I've had to restart like 4 times now

[tardy turtle]

Speaking of, was progress on The Signal patched?

[molten ferry]

That's the one where you rescue that one spartan right?

[analog salmon]

the problem for 343 is the community managers are so open and transparent when they're allowed to be that when there's radio silence it becomes understandably concerning

[crystal iron]

I'm so Glad I'm done with LASO, it was a nightmare without the ta k gun or Co Op when I did it.ainly the making sure you had full sheild to save

[crystal iron]

Yea that does get pretty bad, it sucks because it's not then making these choices. But again leadership above then who for some reason seem so secretive over some of the weirdest things

[molten ferry]

On my first run, I did it without the tank gun, little did I know of the save bug where I clicked continue game and it gave me a hud and everything right at the end.

[grim citrus]

still waiting for 343 to focus some attention on halo 5

[tardy turtle]

Like what?

[stone raven]

what single player halo games would you like to see be made?

[real vapor]

Maybe a game where you play as an Elite instead of a Spartan in campaign kinda like Halo 2 when you played as the Arbiter or a game you can play as your own Spartan instead of Master Chief like Halo Reach with Master Chief as an NPC.

[stone raven]

like a game set during the human covenant in like 2548 where for half of the missions you play as a spartan 3 fighting the covenant and the of hlaf of the mission you play as an elite zealot fighting the unsc on the same colony world?

[crystal iron]

ODST 2

[fickle bridge]

LFG Diamond 6 +

[crystal iron]

i cant even play the new season

[crystal iron]

You have to ask your Hunter if you can play lol

[devout kite]

I have a feeling that the next story event will unlock the oni door

[vast halo]

They aren’t doing cross core lol. They would’ve dropped it in this update. Time to accept it.

[crystal iron]

Honestly I wouldn't Be surprised man

[opaque bane]

So I've been testing my audio DAC settings, ramming them up to max. I can hear footsteps like 10-15 feet away. But if I turn away, even at 2 feet away, I can hear nothing. Is that intentional or just bad sound design

[full warren]

bad sound design, I literally been sitting still and people have ran up to me and backsmacked me without me hearing anything

[sullen anvil]

all of my Infinite settings got reset I am going to do something bad

[formal stratus]

are there 2 versions of cliffhanger? the normal one, and the one with the shield stuff

[vast halo]

Yeah don’t get me wrong the core gameplay is still fun. I’ll still play halo. I just don’t believe a word 343 says 😂

[civic sluice]

Mood.

[full warren]

I just want to update because I still can't play

[sullen anvil]

Wait did a lot of others get their settings reset??

[full warren]

some people are having the bug where their setting is reset

[sullen anvil]

yeah my settings desynced and now got completely reset

[full warren]

just be happy you can play the game lol

[coarse dagger]

It's a known issue, potentially one of the ones being fixed in the patch next week

[crystal iron]

343 was starting to go on a good direction to with getting The goodwill of the community back, and some trust in them. The whole Cross core coming into question really sets them back now a bit which Is not good given they are still.

[sullen anvil]

well, since they already got reset I’m assuming the fix won’t affect me anymore?

or will my settings revert

or is it about the setting sync in general

[full warren]

What did they do to get the good will lol, maybe I am just in a completely different community PC and MNK, I heard so many complaints this batch

[dapper zealot]

Playing H4 Spartan Ops with Bandana skull is so much fun, makes Spartan Ops way less frustrating especially when fighting the Knights. It's like playing in an even field, no unfairness.

[celest heron]

hmm, made two bug reports a couple days ago and still no response. Usually they respond right away.

[sullen anvil]

Since I am changing my settings, what would be the most beneficial enemy color???

[static path]

Hello everyone, so i checked the channels and didn't see lfg for halo mcc. I'm looking for people trying to unlock the skunked achievement in halo reach. I'm sitting in the queue for hours and nothing happens :(. Can you guys help me?

[nimble bloom]

Is there literally no one on infinite btb

It’s not even giving an estimated wait time

[signal ivy]

#lfg-social or #lfg-other

[static path]

Oh, that can be used for MCC, sorry then 😅. Thanks bro

[crystal iron]

Halo is pretty much dead in asia as far as I know

[nimble bloom]

I am on expanded search though

And other modes are giving around one minute wait times

[static path]

Before the season 3 i could easily find btb now it's just that unlimited arena with the two worst maps i've ever seen

[crystal iron]

It will still prioritize your region

[crystal iron]

You can play other playlists. You don’t need to play unlimited arena

[static path]

Yes i know but i didn't found any btb match since the release of season 3

[crystal iron]

I didn’t had any problem with finding btb matches. Maybe it’s less populated in your region

[prisma folio]

Guys, how often does this playlist rotate?

[crystal iron]

Playlists rotate every tuesday

[static path]

Weird. On the other side some arena matches had sync issues which i consider normal on release of a major update. No single crash though as experienced by some players.

[prisma folio]

So now this playlist will only last until next Tuesday?Will the previously removed maps and modes be back to normal next Tuesday?

[crystal iron]

They published playlist schedule for next few weeks but I don’t remember what was there. You should find it in internet

[nimble bloom]

Same here

Any other playlist works just not btb for some reason

[static path]

Well since i finished the achievements for online i reduced my playtime on infinite (basically play a daily match and when the week reset)

Now i am suffering with the MCC ones and oh boy what a journey to find matches

[mossy valley]

Hot take: Bipbap the Vanquisher is the peak life form in the universe

Nothing else is better

[supple socket]

Why is it even possible to be killed while inside of the wraith (not being grenaded) There’s no reason to even use it at that point

[stone raven]

what are your thoughts on the Cso supercarrier?

[ruby knoll]

big

[crystal iron]

Honestly the game needs to pull off extremely major wins back to back to stay in the market strong.

I know of Armored Core 6, Starfeild, and the Elden Ring DLC are good I won't really feel an overwhelming desire to play Halo as it currently stands with it's current content

I think a lot of the playlist decision come from the fact that their is not a large enough Player base to sustain so many Playlist

I know for Halo 5 BTB fiesta basically took BTB player base so That's probably why they dont have it in there cus BTB will be a deserted playlist

For me it comes down to Hardeive Space in my Xbox Series X and I have the expanded Memory thing too. But I have to choose to delete games to make room for other ones It's going to be rough when Halo goes on that list.

I'm really pulling for them but I'm not attached enough to seperate myself if better options come around

It Halo Really needs to come back strong.

[stone raven]

how?

[crystal iron]

Dude my Kid Said Halo is for Old People, her friends at school say it's that game all the old people play... Like it needs to come back in the sense that it is relevant with more gamers...

[stone raven]

no I mean how should it comback

[crystal iron]

It has to offer a lot of ways to Cator to a variety of their players..
So Halo has a lot of small communities inside it.. you have your PVP sweats but you also have your PVE players, your forgers, and there is the whole Clan system. Halo Infinite really feels stripped of Social aspect... Like there is no post game lobby, I guess they don't want people risking hearing anything that would hurt them after a match.

Right now it feels like a game that just puts you in a match get you out puts you in another, their doesn't feel like much interaction is going on...

Honestly dude MW 2 has better social aspect than Halo Infinite.

[stone raven]

well I have a suggestion of a single player halo game too

[crystal iron]

Right now it takes them so long to really implement new modes, a PVE mode isn't even close to happening. So It's moving very slow and it's going to get outpaced by other options

[crystal iron]

Yea it that would be like years of development. I'm talking Currently, with Halo Infinite... What your suggesting is probably another six Yrs out

[stone raven]

well here's how it could be made how about 343 can Collab with another studio to make it?

[tardy turtle]

I don't think many Halo fans are ready - or ever will be - for Halo to be "Big" again. They're going to be expecting Halo 3, but it's not 2007 anymore. Gaming has moved on significantly, as have gamers, and when we can't even settle on sprinting ten years later, what it's going to take for Halo to remain on top would be reviled by those who already do nothing more than sit around and complain.

[crystal iron]

Like Halo needs to make it's huge comeback this year.

If not it's going to get steamrolled by other developers.

It's a dog eat dog world man... If I see the population Dropping for Halo and I'm a game developer Only thing I see is a good chunk of market I can capture. Remember they are all a business, and a Business needs customers .. of one. Business isn't doing so not another will just take it place ..

[sullen anvil]

enemy player collision in matchmaking pls

[frigid grail]

the twitch gladiator armor was only up for a few hours lmao. Can we get that again?

[crystal iron]

It's a Hard pill to swallow, But I think Halo's time has come and gone.

Markets are shifting and other developers are much better at adapting to it... It feels like 343 spent to much time trying to define themselves and what their Halo Was rather than offer what made Halo Just fun on a breaod spectrum and grow from their... That would have separated them wry nicely

[tardy turtle]

In a Matchmaking sense, I would agree. Elsewhere is still strong

[ruby iris]

Removing all the social elements out of a social game really doesn't help.

[crystal iron]

That's the problem, Halo Infinite is mostly a PVP matchmaking game, most of the effort is in that direction. So as it's current state it's struggling because it like it pulled way to strong in one direction and left everything else behind

[crystal iron]

Dude for real the game feels so dry without those Post and pre game lobby's... The dumb conversation that would occured, the Banter... Like now it's just a mindless menu staring back at you after each match

[stone raven]

well here's my suggestion for this single player halo game it will take place during the human covenant war in 2548 and it would be on a covenant invasion of a human colony world however you would experience both sides of the invasion for have of the missions you will be playing as a spartan 3 with a team of 3 other spartan 3's defending the colony world from the covenant and for the other have of the mission's you will be playing as a elite zealot fighting the Unsc with the rest of your zealot group and finding forunner artifacts and infiltrating Oni bases

[tardy turtle]

Going forward I would prefer to see less relying on the "Pro Gamers" - like how many packs have we had for the eSport teams? - and more swing toward Single Player content

[crystal iron]

I mean if your willing to wait another 6 to 10 yrs for that have at it

[ruby iris]

End of game lobbies allowed people to talk, to connect and interact with each other. To start to form friendships. None of this happens anymore.

[stone raven]

again I now how this game can happen much sooner than 6 years and that's for 343 to collab with another studio to make this game

[crystal iron]

One of my buddies was telling me how this game banked so Hard on HCS being it's bread and butter.. And I was like What's HCS. Than I was like oh that's those teams with that in game store stuff

[crystal iron]

Yea. It remember this is 343 we are talking about. It's going to mostly be contractors working on the project with no real communication between departments and The turn over rate will be rather high

[stone raven]

wait you agree with the idea?

[ruby iris]

It's depressing to see Halo in such a state. Is there any hope at all anymore?

[tardy turtle]

Depends what you're hoping for

[crystal iron]

I never said I didn't I'm just saying if you want to base it in the realm of reality and how 343 has operated in the past and will continue to operate. Your going to see a lot moving parts that are not communicated well with each other

[stone raven]

well do you still love the idea of the game?

[crystal iron]

I have just kept my expectations so Low that it won't even matter at this point

[ruby iris]

The glory days aren't coming back that's for sure, but Halo has so much more it is capable of being. It never deserved becoming a husk of it's former self.

[crystal iron]

It's alright, of I'd rather game that follows out MP Spartan 4 that's trained by Spartan 2's and isn't a push over.

[crystal iron]

The franchise has so much potential but there seems to be something holding it back alot

[tardy turtle]

All of that, I would say, is perspective. To me the "glory" comes from the storyline content, and I think it's never been better. Rather than being a chore, there's passion and drive to expand.

[crystal iron]

I think Early 343 what held it back was pride and Ego...that old leadership was so determined to not be Bungie and stand out that they added in their own style in the worse way and removed things that already worked

[crystal iron]

Ok I'ma just say it... Us Fighting the banished cus Cortana Bad made no sense ... Like that didn't seem like something Atriox would do

The UNSC had a way to beat Cortana ..of anything the UNSC and Banished had a common enemy

[ruby iris]

The glory days are a full package. I enjoyed Infinite's story, but Halo as I remember it is the whole experience. The campaign may be a large chunk of the pie, but when literally everything else is either horrible or non-existent it pains me to see it.

[tardy turtle]

It made sense. The Banished made a direct attack on the Infinity because Atriox wanted Cortana dead. The Banished as a whole blamed humanity for Pax Cortana - it was their AI, after all - and thus responsible for the destruction of Doisac. The Banished are acting out of revenge and anger

[crystal iron]

Cortana herself could have gave rise to a new Age Covenant that see her as a god... Chief, Atriox and Arbiter could have done something to hinder Cortana's power. Meanwhile to get over the AI Turning on Humanity it could have been revealed that Cortana's Immortality wasn't from her being exposed to something but rather she was using the other AI to steal more time

[tardy turtle]

That's your perspective and it's valid for you, but not everyone is going to feel that way

[tardy turtle]

Jiralhanae have never been one to play nice with others. They follow strength, not compromise

[crystal iron]

Naw they just needed a new Villian for the sake of the story.

Atriox got built up as this huge tactician who was very smart, just seems like he would notice a common threat and would use that to expand his power in some way against that threat

[stone raven]

Well think about some of the stuff that could be in the game you could have scarab battles locust battle you could large scale battle with tons of grunt's, Jackals, Elite ,and brutes fight you with a Odst's coming out of drop pod to assist you have a section where you fly a gunship from halo wars missions where when your play as the elite zealot have to assassinate Spartans destroy key Unsc bases extra if this game was made it would be a massive massive massive hit

[crystal iron]

We could have easily had all of that in Halo Infinite.

[tardy turtle]

For the longest time he did extend the same offer to Humanity. Some accepted, and joined the Banished ranks. More often than not they pushed back and met rare diplomacy with aggression. Atriox would be a fool to continue trying to bend over backwards to play nice with the UNSC, and his packs would see him as weak

[crystal iron]

Dude honestly. Sing Open world the scale of battles could have so much better ... The campaign still feels so empty

[stone raven]

well were not getting campaign dlc

[crystal iron]

It would have made for an uneasy alliance. It a better story

[tardy turtle]

It would have led to another civil war. We've been there with the Great Schism. And with the Covenant Remnants.

[crystal iron]

In the end don't truly care anymore, as like I said Better options will arise. It does suck Halo is no longer at it's prime but All good things must come to an end.

I'm hoping Armored Core 6 and Starfeild are good. But I have truly learned to just not expect it. Halo Was that last straw with expecting anything but meteocre from game Developers. It just feels like quality has been tossed aside

[crystal iron]

And that would have made for even more story

[stone raven]

there are no covenant in infinte

[ruby iris]

I hope the death of live services will finally allow things to improve.

[crystal iron]

Yea but the BANISHED are essentially the new convenent, they have almost all the same tech

[crystal iron]

Don't hold out dude, that thing is too stubborn to die

[stone raven]

well we arent getting infinte campagin dlc

[tardy turtle]

It would have made for even more of the same story. Frankly I'm more interested in the current insinuations that everything the Forerunners left as their history is a grand lie, burying the truth

[crystal iron]

I know,. Ot sure if you haven't noticed but 343 is 100% invested in their Live Service... So you may have to accept that that is what is going to get all the Love and attention from them

[grim citrus]

Cortana was also attacking the infinity so how does it make sense for the banished to be attacking them too?

[stone raven]

also unlike the covenant we don't know what the hell the banished is motivation

[stone raven]

well is still want the game im suggesting to be made

[crystal iron]

I mean we aren't getting any lre of it though... Not in a time frame that will make me interested at least

[tardy turtle]

Cortana wasn't attacking the Infinity at that moment. Atriox attacked it because he thought Cortana was there

[grim citrus]

Are you forgetting the events of halo 5 lol?

Infinity was running away from her

[zenith laurel]

She more so confronted the infinity, she didn’t outright attack it

[grim citrus]

You can’t be serious

[tardy turtle]

The events at the end of Halo 5 have very little bearing on what happened in Infinite. The Infinity was running from her for a long time, yes. Yet when the Infinity arrived at Zeta Halo, Cortana was not actively attacking them; she had bigger things to do.

[crystal iron]

Also Honestly It's ironic how Halo Infinite story seems to be more like a miscommunication of a situation, much like how Halo 5 Story developers and marketing teams had huge Miscommunications lol

[zenith laurel]

I’ve watched it over and over, worst she did was show up, no one (to my knowledge) was slaughtered or injured

[grim citrus]

So if that’s the case, why was the infinity running away from her if it was a confrontation

[tardy turtle]

Mmmm, when she showed up on the Infinity that was a projected message, not actually her. What you're not seeing is the many words that fell, and her AI literally killing people at her command.

[grim citrus]

They took John from her…

[zenith laurel]

Oh no i knew about all the worlds and so on

[crystal iron]

Doesn't even matter not like we are going to get a solid follow up to this story so many questions left open and the next iteration will probably not even answer any of them but feel extremely disconnected. The Story from Halo 4 to now just feels like an erratic mess

[tardy turtle]

I don't share that pessimism, to be frank

[stone raven]

well the story the game Im suggesting is way better

[grim citrus]

Infinite was a huge mess because they didn’t finish 5’s story

[tardy turtle]

Only it's not really a mess at all

[crystal iron]

And Halo 5 story was a huge mess because Marketing wasn't on the same page

[grim citrus]

How was it not? Were they not hunting the truth?

[stone raven]

the story for the game im suggesting is also way better than that story too

[crystal iron]

Also then killing off Black Team made No sense, that's a whole Spartan 2 team they could have used. Instead of Palmer they could have had Black team Leading the infinity Spartans

[tardy turtle]

Black Team would be terrible leaders

[crystal iron]

I was hoping that they reconned their deaths and maybe Had it as a cover to have them secretly train some new S4 team

[tardy turtle]

They can't even put their own inter-team relationships on hold enough to work together effectively

[crystal iron]

I mean As Separate leaders not as a team have them just train the new Spartan to actually be Spartans

They should of also brought back Grey team Man I loved Gray team

[tardy turtle]

I would still argue that Black Team would be terrible examples and leaders. Unless their lesson is "Don't have a love triangle with your squad mates"

[grim citrus]

@crystal iron

[ruby knoll]

lmao live service isn't going away

[ruby iris]

https://youtu.be/q_9Jh74nEaI

[crystal iron]

Pretty much, 343 straight up said F the campaign story, naw we rocking 100% into this Live Service

[ruby knoll]

what

[tardy turtle]

On the other hand Palmer is a former ODST, and many of the Spartan-IV's under her command are former ODST and Marines. Palmer knows her Spartans, she understands them, and she is loyal to them. She knows how to lead them, how to train them, and how to get them to perform to their best. She's a -blam- good Spartan Commander for that

[ruby knoll]

they haven't said anything one way or another about campaign

i assume it's on the backburner for now

[ruby knoll]

ip logger

[crystal iron]

Well the people who could say something for Laid off so there is that

[ruby iris]

Infinite (pun intended) greed will always result in inevitable failure.

[ruby knoll]

unless disguised well enough

[ruby knoll]

they can always hire people again though, down the line

[stone raven]

There's one other mission suggestons that I forgot to mention how about a mission where you have to broad and destroy an cas assault carrier

[crystal iron]

I don't even think it's just as simple as greed I think they had the perfect storm of if it can go wrong it will.

They hired contractors who wouldn't stay on so someone had to come in and finsih that work, each department essentially worked as its own thing so coming together wasn't easy... The whole Pandemic thing happened, the leadership had huge ego and pride issues , and scoffed at ideas they didn't come up with.

It's was a huge mess

[ruby knoll]

343i also had a lot of FTEs though

[crystal iron]

Perhaps but honestly I don't expect anything for a few yrs, right now they seem focused only on Live Service and HCS... Nothing else is what they care to bother with

[crystal iron]

I remember seeing glass door reviews of it over the years and they seemed rather consistent of being called a revolving door of labor

[crystal iron]

What's FTE?

[ruby knoll]

full time employees

[stone raven]

how many employees are at 343?

[ruby knoll]

shrug

[crystal iron]

Idk I was getting bad vibes early on when each week it seemed like another Head of something dipped out... And not fired cus alot of them had work liked up right after

[ruby knoll]

heads aren't contractors, generally

that's a whole separate thing

[crystal iron]

Not as many as before, they got hit pretty hard by Microsoft's Scorched earth layoffs

[crystal iron]

It was like each week you see a video of a guy saying ok I'm on charge of this and I'ma make sure it gets better.. one week lateer that dudes gone

[stone raven]

well hire more people who like halo by the way

[ruby iris]

Lol.

[crystal iron]

Yea that's not exactly how it works... These companies get a budget for Hiring, and daddy Microsoft has a hiring freeze so they can't hire ..I think that's why they are switching to Unreal, since more contractors are familiar with it so Onboarding is relatively easier and they can just do temp work instead of full hiring on

[stone raven]

well when the hire people the people they hire should be people who like halo

[ruby knoll]

they do though

[crystal iron]

And Microsoft isn't really pouring a lot of money into this game right now... It really does feel like 343 have for a long while now been on their own with little support and bad leadership.

Microsoft spent a lot of money acquiring Bathesda so that's where their money is at right now.

[stone raven]

when was the last time they hired people who like halo?

[ruby iris]

Remember, Halo is all about competitive. That is the real core of Halo. /s

[ruby knoll]

always lol

[crystal iron]

Remember when I side Pride and Ego was the problem with leadership..

They hire Development teams aka the people doing the actual ground work who love Halo... But those people answer to bosses who have sticks up there buts who answer to large shareholders and executives. Who want to see sales profits potential.. so each idea and concept has to be marketed as it's going to make us money to people in suits who have no actual idea was gamers want.

These same executive also hire the same third party contractors that Casinos hire to get people to keep coming back... Thus the dawn of Live Service MTX.

The people your talking about are all under the leadership of those dimwits .. and really have no say in the matter

[ruby knoll]

Halo MP is competitive, considering it's PvP 🤷

[stone raven]

but they hired people who hate halo

[ruby knoll]

no they didn't

[ruby knoll]

wow it's like every buzzword mixed together into a word salad

[stone raven]

bruh they did 💀

[crystal iron]

You can't say I'm truly wrong though, the leadership at 343 before now for the most part wasn't the best, and didnmak choices that affect the game.. the people doing the actual leg work were just doing what they were told.

[ruby iris]

What is the point in winning if you're not having fun? If you're not having fun, why are you playing? Halo was a party game. That is what it was designed to be. That is it's actual core. Everything else stemmed from that. Ripping it out and making it a sterile, clinical competitive game gave us Halo 5.

[crystal iron]

Honestly though I just need Halo to keep me midly entertained until September

[grim citrus]

😂 why would they hire people that hate halo?

[ruby knoll]

people throw around "party game" as if it wouldn't be treated as a corporate buzzword under different context. Halo is an FPS that coincidentally has some social features

H5 also had the best forge until Infinite, and was the first game in the series to have a CGB feature

[stone raven]

because their stupide

[ruby knoll]

that quote was dumb but apparently nobody reads the other half of the quote

[grim citrus]

No… that’s not it

[tardy turtle]

No? The Multiplayer for Halo was an afterthought. A last-minute add-on. The storyline is the core, and it even defines the Multiplayer in every facet

[shell wing]

Inf seriously still has desync issues i thought they said they fixed this lmao\

[tardy turtle]

Put in a ticket

[grim citrus]

How long did bungie take to fix blood shots in halo 2 and 3?

[ruby iris]

Why is there no emoji reacts?

[shell wing]

never lol

[crystal iron]

I think the best way to describe it is If your losing but still somehow having fun than it's a great game..

Like if you not laughing so hard that your ribs hurt even when your losing cus your teams vibe is just that way of being than is it really any fun

[ruby knoll]

...that's 100% possible in h4, 5, and infinite

[crystal iron]

Like riding in a warthog expecting epic stuff only to be blow up kinda made me laugh a little

[ruby iris]

Considering how many people ragequit the moment the game isn't going their way.. lol

[shell wing]

I'm tired of being killed behind walls when they don't have line of sight with BRs and, snipers and shock rifles

[tardy turtle]

It's easier to lose and still have fun without friggin' leaderboards

[crystal iron]

Not to mention the post game madness of the post game lobby oh the amount of banter potential is now gone In infinite

[shell wing]

heck even a warthog turret killed me without line of sight

[ruby knoll]

*since Xbox Live Party Chat

[crystal iron]

For me proximity chat adds to COD has made that game so much fun lol

[ruby knoll]

i mean that's just one aspect

[ruby iris]

Hell, even MW2 brought post game lobbies and voicechat back.

And MW2 wouldn't be MW2 without that. 2009 was a different time.

[ruby knoll]

i've played enough of MCC to know that people barely use lobby chat or allchat

[tardy turtle]

So much faith being put in others to not have either a fan going, a bag of chips being munched loudly, weird grunts and loud breathing, or some crappy mix tape being played through blown out speakers

[ruby knoll]

and it's not just MCC, other games with lobbies are usually silent

people just don't want to listen to randoms

and I don't blame em, why gamble when you can party up with peeps you know

[stone raven]

speaking of mcc 343 100% should add scarab firefight

[ruby iris]

Oh I don't know, maybe you want to go out and meet new people? I actually managed to make a friend through Infinite because the server queue was so small we kept being rematched against each other.

[ruby knoll]

like, for every 1 good instance of in game chat i had in mcc, the other 99 were either mediocre to garbage

[grim citrus]

Nobody plays in game chat

[ruby knoll]

i mean you can do that through means outside of the game too

[tardy turtle]

Nothing like having slurs shouted to you from a teenager that just learned them

[ruby knoll]

or hearing the world's worst microphone

[ruby iris]

Much harder, and not as organic.

[ruby knoll]

much harder
literally just any game related community
not as organic
wut

[tardy turtle]

Or weird call outs with colloquial area names by someone trying to be "tactical"

[ruby knoll]

communities can host game nites and such

[ruby knoll]

speaking of, the ping system is absolutely a killer feature imo

lets people without mics communicate better

no having to quickly try and type out something, or shoot at something to try and get a message across

[tardy turtle]

Amen

[ruby knoll]

i'm not against 343i adding lobbies or whatever, I just highly highly highly highly doubt it'd be used much

[ruby iris]

Basic social features.

[white birch]

Don’t forget the ancient and out of battery smoke detector

[ruby knoll]

like a server browser

[devout kite]

I like the ping system especially in rank

[ruby knoll]

anyways, tbh more than lobbies, i wish 343i would've brought Spartan Companies forward to Infinite

[white birch]

Something to grind for would be nice

[signal ivy]

Companies were so toxic sometimes

leaders would kick people out right before unlocking an armor piece to bring their friends in so they could get the armor

[astral crag]

I’ve never been one to enjoy game chat in random lobbies, but in mw2’s DMZ, it’s actually amazing

You can squad up with randoms DMZ, and you can often times hear other squads chatting on mic before you see them

[modern juniper]

You can absolutely demolish this battle pass with double XP huh?

level up fast enough to earn back your boost lol

[ruby knoll]

dang

still though I feel like companies would've been cool

[tardy turtle]

There is the Clan corner here. Pretty much the same function

[ruby knoll]

it just doesn't hit the same

[formal stratus]

how come when I join a custom game it puts me with bots, and not with other players

theres no option to join a game for some reason

[frigid grail]

how do I get a whole BTB team banned lmao? They all clipped through the door on Fracture and camped power weapons for the whole game. They never once had to hack the doors either.

[analog salmon]

i mean once your inside you can just open the door

so if one clipped through they would just let the rest in no?

[frigid grail]

every one of them phased through the doors. like, not open at all. red and they would plainly walk through

[tulip vortex]

It’s pretty obvious they aren’t gonna add cross core now, seeing as they’re selling colors on a per core basis now

[analog salmon]

oh well clip it and send them it on the support site

[frigid grail]

no hacking, no opening for a friend, just all of them either phased through or spawned in it

[tulip vortex]

Also, these prices are outrageous. At most I’d give you 5 USD for a bundle of armor

[celest heron]

I'm rubber banding so much now in games with low ping.

[frigid grail]

same here, cant use the cindershot since i teleport into my own shots now

[tulip vortex]

Welcome to the club, desync is even worse

343s new update was so broke it made my graphics card kill itself

They better cover a new one

[novel pike]

Hallelujah.

[tulip vortex]

Just give halo to ID software, hell I’d even say Frontier Developments

I’m done with this crap

[novel pike]

Yeah, I'm going to move along with my day.

No, actually. Have you even played Doom Eternal? Did you ever play Doom 2016's multiplayer? There's no customizing the skins for eternal, just as much monetization, the multiplayer is a mishmash mesh, and as much as I love 2016's online, Infinite is leaps and bounds above it.

Words don't just need to pour out of your mouth.

The only thing ID software getting Halo would change is what company the "fans" are crucifying.

Because I can tell you one thing, Infinite as you see it is twice as faithful to Bungie (for all that matters) as whatever iD would do with the franchise.

[formal stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=860NIQXE8_4&feature=youtu.be
So uh....what are the chances of this?

[mortal shuttle]

🙂

[ruby knoll]

What would "this" be

[lime robin]

A Hail Mary overkill

[formal stratus]

2 overkills with one grenade apparently

Didn’t realize it fully until I rewatched the clip

[low blaze]

What is the intended use of the bandit?

Every gun has its own specific use, what is the bandit made for?

[frozen flax]

so-

if you count Cortana's time of death as July 21, 2557, during the end of Halo 4, she died at the age of 7 years, 8 months, and 15 days (2814 days, or 67,536 hours, or 4,052,160 minutes, or 243,129,600 seconds)
but if you count it as December 13, 2559, the day she blew up the Silent Auditorium to deny it to Atriox, she died at the age of 10 years, 1 month, and 7 days (3689 days, or 88,536 hours, or 5,312,160 minutes, or 318,729,600 seconds)

now I know someone's already done the math other than me

but I can't wrap my head around someone having two times of death

[low blaze]

its just a fragment of cortana

All that was once good now gone

Until the ||plot decided genocide was just a silly mistake and she is now forgiven||

[glossy carbon]

Hello there. Im trying out halo infinites scripting and im having a hard time figuring things out. Most tutorials i find dont really talk about the things i need. Anyone here able to help?

[warped birch]

Is h5 dead or what? Cant find any players in ranked slayer or quick play

[analog salmon]

its barely even the afternoon

who even wakes up this early on a sunday

[coarse dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/hand-up-raise-hand-me-here-sich-melden-gif-19627484

Feed the cats day

[zealous panther]

my cat woke me up at 8 am. then im like a zombie feed her and went back to sleep

[warped birch]

I'm dutch💀

[muted bolt]

Anything major changes since s1?

[warped birch]

In infinite?

Definitely

[glossy carbon]

ye

[warped birch]

Some new maps, forge, co op, custom games browser

New weapon and equipment

Some qol stuff

[glossy carbon]

im just trying the forge scripting

and i could really use a hand. Im trying to spawn a player with a turret. 3rd person stuff

i cant get it to work

[muted bolt]

Jesus sounds like it’s in a good place now?

I got the 100 in season 1’s battlepass and never went back because other stuff just grabbed my attention and the thought of the same maps over and over was rough

Has S3 been out long? I had enough points left to buy the battlepass

[glossy carbon]

its been out since tuesday this week

[muted bolt]

Well that’s a stroke of luck. Nice

Just took a fancy for a couple games of it today and after it updated I’ve just been playing new arena unlimited. I noticed there’s some decent looking playlists like 2v2 br starts and the community one sounds fun

[glossy carbon]

it really is

[muted bolt]

Looks like I’ve chose a good time to jump back in

Got an overkill from the grave first game back 😂

[warped birch]

It's pretty good now. Been playing since launch and its my favourite halo mp. Been playing halo 5 last two days too. Also fun when you can find a match.

[muted bolt]

I really enjoyed the mp at launch just needed some more maps and playlists I felt

Still isn’t what I’d like for playlist choice but it seems better

[warped birch]

Eh I'm boring I'm fine with quick play and team slayer lol.

And with forge I really enjoy playing remakes of older maps

[muted bolt]

I miss the days when there was a grifball playlist, shotty snipers and swat were great as well

I understand the whole not wanting to split off the player base into all these different things though

[zealous panther]

im pretty sure swat is here. snipers was available last week

[livid fable]

general question. if you could add one thing to Halo that has never existed in any Halo game, what would it be?

[warped birch]

Swat's there. It's called tactical slayer. Shotty snipers is sometimes there as well.

[livid fable]

I saw somebody mentioned that they would like functional weapon attachments. I think it's a terrible idea, but it's more creative than another color swatch or the same bugs.

[warped birch]

Good question

Idk xd

Oh wait I have something

Campaign matchmaking

Or did reach have that?

[zealous panther]

Campaign matchmaking indeed needed

[livid fable]

applying dark souls Network options would be pretty neat

I can see that going especially well with individually customized Spartans

[warped birch]

Thinking of dark souls, an invade feature would be cool

Playing as a brute or elite and invading someone's campaign

[livid fable]

now that is a solid way to do it!

[candid prism]

can noble six beat master chief

[zealous panther]

nope. they kinda dead.

[stone raven]

halo any of you ever bought the halo artbooks?

[coarse dagger]

Got a couple of them, yeah

[stone raven]

which ones?

[coarse dagger]

Please remember to turn off the ping /tag before replying. Thanks

[coarse dagger]

Halo 4, Halo 5 and Infinite

Copy of Mythos and the new Encyclopedia as well

[sullen anvil]

Why is scaling in forge all screwed up now??? I only want to resize one axis but it just resizes a complete different or random group of axis

[stone raven]

what are your thoughts on the single player halo games I suggested yesterday?

[vivid light]

I've had that happen a couple times and the undo button doesn't work most of the time now lol

[twin crag]

man when this games feels good/smooth, it's one of the best FPS rn

You can singlehandedly dismantle the entire lobby

just I like did, just now 💪

[coarse dagger]

Believe this is a known issue

But make sure and file a support ticket

[sullen kiln]

Please refer to the Halo Support site for additional information and/or to submit a ticket
https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[spark ibex]

Also i dont know if it's intended, but the rotation of objects is very very slow now. its almost like it got stuck in precision mode but times 4

[sullen anvil]

When can we expect the patch coming next week? I’m assuming maybe Tuesday or Wednesday

[coarse dagger]

Likely between Tuesday and Thursday, more information will come as soon as they're close to having to ready

[devout kite]

My guess would be Tuesday because that makes the most sense

[jovial relic]

Is there still no way to add a screenshot for your forge map on PC?

[coarse dagger]

There's a work around while an official way is developed

For y'all who need it;
Enter game, take screenshot with Xbox Game Bar, open game bar, click on screenshot, click "Copy Link", load up Infinite on Xbox Cloud Gaming, then go to your file and add your screenshots

It will embed there

[devout kite]

What’s the deal with the game putting me in a match that already ended

[coarse dagger]

It shouldn't, but there are always edge cases that can allow it to happen

It tries to to JIP up to a certain point, but a lot can change in the time it takes to load a player in

Where you can, get a clip and submit a support ticket. Or at the very least, details of the game, like as close a timestamp as you can

[devout kite]

I also get stuck in the loading screen then it put me in the after action report

[low blaze]

Does every covenant gun count as a banished weapon?

[signal ivy]

yeah

the only ones that don't count are UNSC and forerunner weapons (cindershot, heatwave, sentinel beam)

[stone raven]

do you like this suggestion for a single player halo game? my suggestion for this single player halo game it will take place during the human covenant war in 2548 and it would be on a covenant invasion of a human colony world however you would experience both sides of the invasion for have of the missions you will be playing as a spartan 3 with a team of 3 other spartan 3's defending the colony world from the covenant and for the other have of the mission's you will be playing as a elite zealot fighting the Unsc with the rest of your zealot group and finding forunner artifacts and infiltrating Oni and Unsc bases

[crystal iron]

Sounds good

[stone raven]

Yeah you could have some really interesting missions like for some of the mission where your play as a spartan 3 you can have scarab battles locust battles and a segment where you fly a gunship from halo wars and for the zealot you could have tones of allies helping takes down Unsc bases like brutes, grunts, and jackels and can also board Unsc ship and destroy them im 100% sure if this game gets made it will be a massive massive massive hit!!!!!!!!!!!

[real vapor]

when you and the other team are one kill from winning

[analog salmon]

When you lose by one kill and you have a quitter on your team with -1

[wispy garden]

Running into an issue that is really scaring me right now. Trying to load up my most recent version of my forge map, I just made a lot of progress on it. I switched to another Xbox just now because I can’t play on my regular Xbox. I load up the most recent version in customs and it’s still the old version of the map

Not even my files are syncing up anymore??? I’m worried that I totally just lost so much progress and reverted my map back to broken state

Please why does forge keep loading the outdated version and not the updated version. I swear I made so many saves

please tell me I did not just lose all of my progress

AAAAAAAA

[low musk]

Just finished about 6 challenges today. I would have played more this week, but I was busy preparing for a wedding that just happened last night for a cousin of mine. If I play a bit more, I'll have the rest done with a bit of effort. Just gotta get 5k points, finish my 3k point for the featured playlist. Get a Sword kill, and win at least one game of the playlist

Hopefully the GPU hasn't given up on giving out the rest of the Pass-Tense coatings. We still need the ones for the Bulldog, Wasp, Scorpion, and maybe the Bandit Rifle

[ruby knoll]

i always get confused when I see GamePass Ultimate abbreviated

[devout kite]

That’s for the campaign

[low musk]

Game Pass Ultimate, yeah. It was definitely shaken up that they used something else for the reward this month.

[crystal iron]

I hope that we will get it. I really want this green coating for bulldog.

[low musk]

Same.

Just 2k more points to earn and I have the last challenge done

Oh right, still need a sword kill too. Jeez, we need more Escalation slayer. That game mode is hella fun

[soft spear]

Before I make a ticket: is anyone on PC using Forge able to use F5/F6 to test/play a map? My keyboard is a 65% which means I have to use Fn+number key to use the function keys, so trying to figure out if this is a weird bug on my end before causing ticket spam

[quick pagoda]

How do I make that blue circle to select multiple units on Halo Wars ?

[crystal iron]

How prevalent are cheaters now in halo infinite?

[coarse dagger]

Can't say I've ever actually encountered one tbh

If I did, I never noticed

[young glen]

I have yet to face an obvious cheater. Either they're detected fast and thus never seen by most, or cheaters are not being dumb dumbs and making their cheating extremely obvious.

[crystal iron]

The awareness of these people are insane then

I don’t know if I have ever seen a cheater in halo. If I have seen a cheater I didn’t noticed it.

[stone raven]

why has 343 done less with halo than bungie like bungie made 3 great halo games in 4 years those being halo 3 , odst, and reach while 343 struggles to make a content complete game in 6 years

[verbal summit]

They have done about the same, but they need a team that isnt let go, shuffled, or lets political or social beliefs change the way their game is, or was born from.
Bungie never coddled us, they just gave us something new to shut us up 😂😅 i think that its the tech and the experience/ actual love the team has that will reflect on their games.
Halo 1 AN, Halo 2 remastered, big shoes they had to fill after the OG's abandoned Halo for their new love like a young man with too many options.
Idk.
I think the fact 343 is still here shows us something and we should be thankful they even care about us lol cheers

[grim citrus]

What an extremely L take

[stone raven]

well still 343 should have taken the halo we all loved and perfected it rather than mutating it into a cod rip off

[young glen]

Have you played CoD recently?

[stone raven]

yes

[young glen]

Then I've no idea how you could come to that conclusion

[smoky wave]

Play them again, it seems you can't tell the difference

[stone raven]

im talking about halo four multiplayer

[verbal summit]

Honestly they didnt do as bad as they could have lol thats what tends to happen when you hire devs that play COD more then halo though lol but honestly what it is now was what it was going to be

[young glen]

That was 2012. Let it go

[verbal summit]

Halo 4 was meh, but i enjoyed loadouts as a feature for a change, then they went back and i was again happy lol change is good

[smoky wave]

We are in 2023 now

[signal ivy]

oh sorry, I thought you were talking about Reach with Sprint and loadouts. My bad

[verbal summit]

However Req packs are another thing

[young glen]

haha

[grim citrus]

The amount, love, and passion 343 has shown towards halo in the beginning years trumps bungie

[verbal summit]

😂😂😂

[stone raven]

well 343 objectively should make the halo game I suggested earlier today

[stone raven]

Oh #### your right and I really like reach

[signal ivy]

gottem

[verbal summit]

Then get your degree and join their team lmao

[stone raven]

or I can go on halo support and suggest it their

[young glen]

I would love to be the support agent opening your ticket and just seeing a fan novel as to why 343 should do Halo their way lmao

[stone raven]

here's the game idea my suggestion for this single player halo game it will take place during the human covenant war in 2548 and it would be on a covenant invasion of a human colony world however you would experience both sides of the invasion for have of the missions you will be playing as a spartan 3 with a team of 3 other spartan 3's defending the colony world from the covenant and for the other have of the mission's you will be playing as a elite zealot fighting the Unsc with the rest of your zealot group and finding Forunner artifacts and infiltrating Oni and Unsc bases just think about some of the missions that could take place you could have some really interesting missions like for some of the mission where your play as a spartan 3 you can have scarab battles locust battles and a segment where you fly a gunship from halo wars and a mission where you broad a Cas Assualt carrier and destroy it and for the zealot you could have tones of allies helping takes down Unsc bases like Brutes, Grunts, and Jackels and can also board Unsc ship and destroy them im 100% sure if this game gets made it will be a massive massive massive hit!!!!!!!!!!!

[young glen]

jesus...

[grim citrus]

Were it so easy…

[coarse dagger]

343 can't just take your idea and make a game, too many legal issues around doing that

It's why Microsoft, and quite a lot of companies, have unsolicited ideas policies

[stone raven]

well How about 343 Collab's with another studio to make the game

[coarse dagger]

Please turn off the ping/tag before replying. Thanks

[civic sluice]

This has given me weird flashbacks to when I was like 10 and would play pretend sci fi stuff like this.

[stone raven]

ok

[coarse dagger]

343 already do work with multiple other studios

[stone raven]

??

[stone raven]

well that means it could work

[coarse dagger]

Turn off the ping please

[sullen kiln]

To disable the ping/tag when replying, please click or tap the "on" button at the right hand side of the chat box in order to turn it off.
For users on PC, if you hold Shift while clicking reply the tag will be automatically turned off.

[stone raven]

well still if they collab with a bunch of studios than they collab with a studio to make this game

[civic sluice]

Respectfully, I really do not think microsoft and 343 would sink likely millions into a game like that with so many moving parts and tech that would have to be developed to accomadate it because someone suggested it on the halo discord.

[stone raven]

I will just suggest it on halo support then plus its just a suggestion

[coarse dagger]

What do you mean suggest on Halo Support?

Like filing a ticket?

[boreal yarrow]

343 if you are reading this please make a halo 3 anniversary as some point

[signal ivy]

343 if you are reading this, please don't do that

[stone raven]

go suggest that on halo support

[civic sluice]

343 if your reading this blink twice if you are in danger and need someone to call the police.

[winter adder]

isn't halo support for bugs/performance issues or any problems that are related with the current games they have? not like an idea box for games they should make

[coarse dagger]

Just need to clarify here - please don't file support tickets to leave feedback or game suggestions. Support ticket are for bugs and issues only

[signal ivy]

stckr said it better 👏

[coarse dagger]

Same goes for the Halo Support Twitter account

[stone raven]

ok then waypoint

[coarse dagger]

Though nobody should be reporting bugs via Twitter anyway

[signal ivy]

waypoint forums are going bye bye

[stone raven]

what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[civic sluice]

Oh no way(point)!

[signal ivy]

they're going away March 31st

and you can't post after the 20th

[winter adder]

i reported a bug to activision support and they actually were helpful but i agree probs just do it on the official support ticket site

[stone raven]

well they make new forums?

[signal ivy]

no

[civic sluice]

Id imagine your already on their desired alternative.

[stone raven]

well then make like a suggestion website or something or something

[signal ivy]

lol

[sullen anvil]

Just got informed that apparently forge is having save issues past 100 so I probably just lost all of my progress on my map that I was working on. Infinite WHHYYY WHY WHY WHY WHY

[coarse dagger]

#1076337363770417172 - a discussion and suggestion website

[stone raven]

oh ok I will suggest the game there

along with scarab firefight

also when do you think halo infinte will get fire fight?

[civic sluice]

I've heard they are working on getting A.I to work in forge so i'd assume whenever that is up and running. I struggle to see that being in the forseeable future though.

[stone raven]

well how do you want halo infinite fire fight to work

[civic sluice]

I'm not quite sure if this is the answer your after but my main hope is forge will be used to compliment it with good and interesting map variety.

I'd also hope for Firefight exp and challenges for passes so your not disinclined to take a break from pvp.

[stone raven]

well one suggestion I have is for Boss like Hyperius of Jega to be end of round bosses

also I hope the make flood fire fight

[devout kite]

Can we still report bugs

[signal ivy]

of course, that's what tickets are for

[devout kite]

Ok so just the forums are being shutdown not the tickets

[signal ivy]

correct

[sullen anvil]

Great game I kinda just lost all of my mapping progress because forge saves are apparently having issues :,,,,]]]]

[civic sluice]

Unfortuanate : (

[sullen anvil]

I’m

actually going to do something bad

[civic sluice]

Just remember, its only a crime if your caught.

[sullen anvil]

I’m really getting sick and tired of my settings and configs getting entirely reset for no apparent reason

actually starting to go insane

[signal ivy]

take a bath and read a good book

[civic sluice]

I recall reading thats being adressed in the patch next week?

[devout kite]

Is getting mvp random the reason why I asked because I went 35-8 like 6 hours ago and somehow I came in second knowing I should’ve been first

[sullen anvil]

s ave me

[sage trench]

It feels impossible to duel at longer ranges on mnk, like i feel like I do no damage, while I get beamed by a controller player, and we are both out of red reticle range

Like aim assist tracks their bullets to my head at 6 yards away, but mine just vanish into the void

[stone raven]

where brutes war cheaftian's arank in the coveant before the great schisem?

[unkempt locust]

Anyone else not getting the cutscenes in halo infinite?

I already finished the event

[tardy turtle]

A somewhat related question; how easy is it to get books published with or through 343?

[signal ivy]

probably extremely hard

[tardy turtle]

If ever I have one achievement in life, it'd be getting my trilogy, Saga of the Valkyrie published

[low musk]

Done with the weekly. The Purple Reign coating is pretty nice

[short heart]

how come no one picks up the new gun? see people run by it so much

[tardy turtle]

The Bandit? I use it quite often, myself

[boreal yarrow]

343 if you read this please bring Rtas Vadum back into a game

[ivory glacier]

If the fire rate was just a little bit faster it might be decent

[simple pecan]

Bruh why isn't every game mode on every nap in btb and quick play? For example, total control isn't on the map deadlock anymore, only ctf, slayer, and stockpile are. As well on fragmentation, only total control and slayer are on that map not ctf or stockpile. Like cuh why? Highpower only has total control and stockpile, no slayer or crf. Oasis, the new map only has slayer, total control and ctf, no stockpile. Breaker also has only slayer and ctf, no total control or stockpile. Why is this?? Why don't all maps have every game mode? I am fairly sure this has all started after the addition of the new maps too.

[short heart]

real question: who wants to play stockpile

[simple pecan]

Me? I love that mode

[short heart]

well for ranked i get it, but no one’s picking up the new gun in causal gameplay, it’s always just sitting in the wall spawn for me every time. it’s not garbage like the disruptor..

[short heart]

i only like it if both teams actually care about the objective, which is rare

[crystal iron]

How do I turn on my mic in halo master chief collection?

Cause google don’t help

[simple pecan]

quick play is even worse with this. It doesnt even have bazaar at all! that was one of the best maps! launch site only has one flag, streets only has escalation slayer, detachment only has ctf and koth, aquarius only has ctf and slayer and thats just to list a few maps! no wonder I always automatically associate some maps with certain game modes. why dont all maps have every mode?? they used to, so why does the addition of two maps have to completely remove 5 and limit some maps to 1 mode?!
behemoth is gone completely as well!!! wtf!! and argyle!! and emyrean! and even caatalyst!

[simple pecan]

idk man, chat as a whole seems kind of weird in mcc

[crystal iron]

Lol

[simple pecan]

they probs forget it exists because its just been the base guns for so long and assume its a commando

[empty rapids]

bandit slaps ngl

[empty rapids]

should be under voice settings afaik

or audio

[coarse dagger]

Purple Reign on the Bandit slaps harder

This is nice

[empty rapids]

well i don't have that lol

[devout kite]

Skill issue?

[prisma folio]

Mint blitz said it might just be a seasonal list and it might come back later.

[devout kite]

That or people don’t know where it spawns

[simple pecan]

but they shouldnt be doing that to quickplay anyway

[prisma folio]

We can only wait for any news from the official side or someone has received news about this issue internally

[simple pecan]

well they run past it so they just look at the weapon pads

[empty rapids]

this new qp game mode is fun af

tests your sandbox proficiency

[devout kite]

True I guess it’s a skill issue then

[empty rapids]

could also be a preference thing

people love the br, i prefer the commando though over it personally

[gilded oxide]

Quick question, does anyone actually hear footsteps in this game?? I use Dolby atmos headset Astro a40s, i don’t think I’ve ever heard footsteps in this game

[empty rapids]

i do, i use skullcandy hesh evos though

whats your equalizer settings in windows set to

could be blocking out certain kinds of frequencies

[gilded oxide]

I’m on Xbox

[empty rapids]

or quietening them

ah, crank your audio then in game i guess lol

[coarse dagger]

Using Kaira Pros earlier, I could hear them

[gilded oxide]

I dont hear any, I dunno what to do

[empty rapids]

try increasing your volume

they're kind of quiet

lol this crysis armor actually looks p sick ngl

[gilded oxide]

Kind of quiet is the understatement of the year lol

[empty rapids]

i run at <80% volume ig, helps to hear them before they're on you

mirage core also looks p nice

[ivory glacier]

I keep getting the same **** maps!! Real question were maps removed? There’s a few I haven’t seen in a really long time now

Don’t even worry about it. I lost patience for tonight… again. Same maps same glitches. Time for bed

[empty rapids]

i got the same map/game mode in qp 3 times in a row, it do be like that sometimes

[ivory glacier]

Yeah that happens and it’s coincidence but this has been too long and very noticeable now. The same few maps

I haven’t had streets, behemoth, launch site in at least a couple weeks now

[empty rapids]

what game mode?

also, can i get some competent team mates?

how much do i need to pay for that to happen lol

[tardy turtle]

About $3.50

[short heart]

no matter how much you pay ur still going to get 7 year olds in your onyx rank up game

[frigid grail]

I would love to have an integration that tell you in game when twitch drops are happening so that you can get them. Had no idea there was one for like 3 hours that was like 7pm to 10pm. I would have loved to get the gladiator armor paint but I literally never knew it was active

[wind blaze]

Did they finally add mic chat to mcc?

[frigid grail]

you think they're paid enough to touch any fixing of MCC? 😂

[brave field]

MCC really needs an option to leave keys unbound and to combine the functions of certain keys. Like why is duel wielding for Halo 2 and 3 a different key from picking up new guns? There's only so much other keys you can shuffle around before the controls become uncomfortable. I don't need a dedicated zoom in/out key and the "special action" binding for Halo 4 really does not need its own key as well

[real vapor]

for some reason I had 66 spartan points when I came back to MCC

I don't remember collecting this much

[ruby knoll]

...what do you mean?
there's ingame text and voice chat already

[simple pecan]

yes bro

[crystal iron]

It’s because you are now getting points for leveling up. You just got points for all your levels

[smoky stone]

so the Team Slayer spawns are not using the same Arena Slayer spawns

there a reason for that?

i've never been spawned in the back on ranked arena slayer, but in team slayer, I'm getting spawned in the back. why?

[analog steeple]

hey is it just me or do the mags in halo inf still not work

[spark bluff]

Which mags?

[tepid latch]

Todays the day we hopefully find out some news on cross core 🤞🤞🤞

[crystal iron]

I don’t think so

[signal ivy]

huh?

[spark bluff]

Cross core compatibility for different amour cores.

[signal ivy]

I know that, but I don't know what "today's the day" is referring to

[tardy turtle]

Yeah, I've seen no sort of announcement that it would be addressed today

[spark bluff]

The present day 03/13/2023 would be it.

[limber fox]

does leaving qp games give you any penalty?

also which is the best way to learn the game? which mode? in qp i end up with like 4-12 score

[vast halo]

Team slayer is the best to learn the game in general, but it depends on where you’re lacking. Fiesta will teach you how to use power weapons, tactical slayer will teach you accuracy and defensive positioning, dubs will teach teamwork.

[vast halo]

The only thing for us to find out is “no we gave up on cross core” so I think for PR they will just continue to gaslight their fan base

[vast halo]

Also if you want to learn the ins and outs I’ll be happy to play a few games with you and share what I’ve learned

[limber fox]

thank you. Btw how much health is the shield and how much the actual hp? and you can't get headshot dmg til your shields break? (except from sniper)? and the armor breakage on an enemies shows by removing his red outline?

[vast halo]

Yes the sniper and also the shock rifle can only get a headshot kill while shields are up. And the skewer but that’s a 1 hit kill anywhere. I’m actually not sure about the red outline, I’m so used to it I can’t think of what happens off the top of my head lol.

Also what’s more important than knowing HP when you first start, is knowing how many shots it takes to pop the shields. Each gun is different, and knowing what will pop shields, especially for the precision weapons, will help you so much

[tardy turtle]

You're using "gaslighting" incorrectly, because that's literally not going on at all. Y'all need to settle down

[analog steeple]

mags in forge

[vast halo]

It’s annoying to have them say they’re working on it well over a year ago, that it’s peoples biggest complaint about customization by far, then hear nothing about it for ages. Theyre just pretending like it’s not an issue and hoping no one will call them out on it. What happened to communication, this is the bare minimum.

[tardy turtle]

Yeah, that's still not gaslighting my guy.

[vast halo]

Ok, it’s shady though. Are you defending them or just a definition enthusiast?

[tardy turtle]

I'm saying that y'all need to chill, stop setting your own expectations based on a lack of news, and spinning a narrative based on that.

[signal ivy]

I mean radio silence on the topic doesn't mean that it's shady. It just means that there aren't updates they want to make public on the subject

[vast halo]

They set our expectations when they said they would work on it in the Season One outcomes report, because it was the #1 most complained about topic. Over a year ago.

[signal ivy]

we don't know how long it would take to implement cross-core correctly. People (not 343) set these goals and timelines themselves and then disappointed that we don't have it when 343 never gave a timeline as to when these changed would take place

[vast halo]

Why is it taking so long for them to even address it? I don’t have any goals or timelines, it just seems like they’ll drop it like they dropped campaign dlc. And hope no one calls them out on it

The customization is a mile wide and an inch deep, the only purpose of using cores in the first place is to sell more coatings

[thorn hollow]

The timeline I'd expect would have been "at launch", it's not my problem how Microsoft handles their contractors or staff but asking for money for passes and boosts while content is missing or cancelled is a bad deal for the consumer

[signal ivy]

well it wasn't at launch, can't change the past. All we can do is look forward to the future

[vast halo]

If they keep mishandling Halo, the future is going to be less people caring about halo and the franchise falling off. Especially if there’s no one to call out 343 for their nonsense.

Everyone who doesn’t like people showing negative emotions has to understand that it comes from a place of love, and accountability

[crystal mortar]

Why do so many people want cross core

[zealous panther]

because some cores have almost no pieces or ways to obtain new pieces

[signal ivy]

I mean, it's obvious why right?

[young glen]

Improves customisation options.

[crystal mortar]

Yeah but do we really want a YOROI spartan wearing a CHIMERA helmet

I feel like it should be limited

[vast halo]

Yes

Why

[crystal iron]

Why? Let people have their weird spartans.

[crystal mortar]

Because some cores are wildly different in visual style

[vast halo]

So?

[crystal mortar]

And it would be kinda weird and jarring

[zealous panther]

Why should i care what helmet your spartan wearing?

[crystal mortar]

I mean coatings and visors yeah those should obv be crosscore

But i mean

Halo MCC season 5 showed us why you shouldn't mix certain art styles man

[zealous panther]

huh? that was great season people liked it

[crystal mortar]

Plus some armor pieces just wouldn't work on other cores

[vast halo]

Spartans have cat ears and flowers + hearts around them while they kill people with rockets and you think mixing a samurai helmet into the mix is bad?

[crystal mortar]

I'm talking about anvil

[zealous panther]

yes.

[crystal mortar]

You really think TRS art style works with halo 3

[vast halo]

S5 was great. Why does other people’s aesthetic choices bother you so much?

[zealous panther]

i stop caring about it when halo 3 came out and at some point i got 7 ninjas in the game with me

[crystal mortar]

Hayabusa released with halo 3

Wdym

[zealous panther]

and it looked completely off even back then.

[crystal mortar]

I

Bruh?

[vast halo]

Why do either of you care about that lol

[crystal iron]

Why should I care about how another player’s spartan looks like? If they will add cross-core I will make spartans that look good in my opinion but if someone wants to create something weird, let them do it.

[shadow turret]

tactical powersuit rabbit

[young glen]

You either let every piece be crosscore or you don't at all, otherwise it'd just be too confusing.

[vast halo]

Not weird or jarring

BRAVE

[coarse dagger]

Love it

[zealous panther]

you have a very selective perception of what you think is appropriate and what is not. Hayabuza is no different from Greek armor in its essence, and a katana on the back is no different from an ax.

[crystal mortar]

Chest armor wouldn't. Many of the models wouldn't work with other cores.

[young glen]

My point still stands.

[crystal mortar]

Alright

[crystal iron]

Hayabusa also doesn’t look like rest of halo 3 and no one have any problem with it. Let people create weird armors if they want it

[shadow turret]

Do keep being awesome in that

[crystal mortar]

I was just explaining why i don't think it would look good

[zealous panther]

looks sick. sadly i don't have this ears and color.

[crystal mortar]

Alright, Who let an e-girl into the IV program?

[zealous panther]

exactly. i sotp caring about it back then and i don't care about it now

[livid moth]

Running round with flaming helmet on Halo 3, your heads on fire like it's normal anyway

[crystal mortar]

That was originally a dev-exclusive chest piece, does it even count?

[crystal iron]

Yes

[livid moth]

Was, then everyone had it

[real urchin]

Can someone recommend an active social clan that has mostly older players (like 30+)? There's so much stuff posted in #1076334026090094602 that it's difficult to weed through it all.

[crystal mortar]

I mean i'd say it actually works with the artstyle

[vast halo]

Every piece of armor is dev exclusive in the beginning 😂

[livid moth]

Like Recon being so special, then everyone who did the Vidmaster achieves on 3, Reach and ODST had it

[crystal mortar]

Yeah that's why i said "was originally"

[vast halo]

I saw that

👀

[livid moth]

Now I'd understand the complaint sorta, if you could put Elites heads on Spartans 🤣

[zealous panther]

i want to play as elite. Straight up.

[vast halo]

Playable grunt when?

[crystal mortar]

Grunt campaign

[tardy turtle]

I absolutely want to put a Yoroi whatever-it-is on my Mk VII Spartan to make her look like it's a kilt

[livid moth]

I just wanna make my Spartan look like a monstrosity

[zealous panther]

Scottish Spartan let's goooooo

[tardy turtle]

SQUARE GO

[crystal mortar]

Ok yeah yoroi actually fits pretty well with the halo art style tbh

[livid moth]

Hopefully there's a Tartan colour cosmetic to go with it ahaha

[coarse dagger]

As a Scot myself, I would love that.
Need to ping some folk to ping Frank to ping the team and make it happen 🦄

[shadow turret]

I'm not a Scot, but I would like a tartan, since it could also kinda look like a skirt

[lime robin]

Fools, there already is a Scottish Spartan!

[coarse dagger]

HAHAHA

McYoroi

[signal ivy]

Spatartan

[coarse dagger]

lmao

[astral crag]

I thought hayabusa still aligned with the general art style halo 3 had

[ruby lake]

"and who are you supposed to be?"

"im scottish!"

[astral crag]

I really love yoroi now

[zealous panther]

OI!

[astral crag]

I don’t really like some of the weird MCC armors, I just think some of them look corny. The gundam armor is kinda cool though

Also I just now realize that in the post-match screen, “underperformed” on deaths is actually a good thing

[next shard]

is btb dead? I've never had this much trouble getting a game this time of day before

[astral crag]

This whole time I felt like I was getting put down for underperforming lol

I was finding matches fine earlier, though it does seem to fluctuate

Maybe the fact that the challenges this week are really focused on the new game mode has skewed things a lot

[next shard]

yea probably

[tardy turtle]

Ping them all! If I can do a MacGregor pattern on my Yoroi kilt, and have some of the Drengr armor above, it'd be the best!

[zealous panther]

played btb whole night last night in eu. search time was around 20 sec

[next shard]

seems better now. just took a while to get the first game

Might’ve just been an issue with your connection to the servers or smth

[next shard]

doubt it because i was able to get into other modes just fine. just a slow time of day for btb I guess that seems to be extra slow lately. probably because of the challenge stack for this week

it waas also early in the morning so a normally slow time anyway

[tame crane]

is the infinite update this week supposed to fix the consistent crashing for everyone? I keep crashing out of ranked matches and its destroying my ranking

[verbal summit]

Ive been okay on my old xbox one...? 🤔

[tame crane]

im on my one x, everyone ik on the series x/s or one x/s keeps crashing. like all my friends keep crashing after a match or two

[verbal summit]

I find hard restarting your xbox everytime you want to have a long game session helps, also you have to make sure all your other games were actually Quit because the new ones don't close the last app/game you played/used

[shut lily]

Well this game has becone pretty much unplayable since the launch of s3. Game keeps crashing, load takes forever, lag prevents me from being able to even see let alone hit shots and just now the simple act of trying to load into a match of Fiesta caused my whole laptop to freeze for 11 minutes straight before crashing it, meanwhile making listen to the loading screen music the whole time without being able to turn it off. Actual torture

And before you say my laptop is garbage, I had none of that before I updated to season 3

[flint wasp]

Guys did anyone got a problem with their tv while playing halo infinite?

My friends tv randomly turns off while playing infinite

[devout kite]

Hopefully the patch will come tomorrow

Because it makes perfect sense to release it tomorrow since the servers would be down for reset challenges

[shut lily]

man I actually still had hope for this game if this is what the other seasons are gonna be like they should just pull the plug and start working on the next game with a new company

[tardy turtle]

I would check your laptop. You may not have had issues before S3, but something may have changed to cause your laptop to now freeze.

[devout kite]

Like Heathen said check your laptop

[shut lily]

literally have no idea what I'd have to check but aight

I played a bit of that a week or so back, was pretty fun (I now realize I was playing a different one)

[tepid latch]

Someone posted a teaser couple days ago of a space battles outside the pillar of autumn that looks so cool!!

[signal ivy]

man, Infinite forge is incredible

[tepid latch]

it would be incredible to get some more space maps forged and have this be a rotated playlist sometime

i need to try infinite forge fr!

[coarse dagger]

That's the one I was looking for!

Of course it's Sik

Jon is a great dude

[stone raven]

what are your thoughts on the reach elites?

[halcyon folio]

Is halo infinite worth playing? I’m getting tired of all the shooters and have yet to ever play this

[signal ivy]

give it a try, couldn't hurt

[hard elk]

ive got a crazy question about halo 3 laso stuff, on the covenant (if anyone saw thesusx video of h3 deathless laso) theres a skip where you drive a ghost up a wall to skip the first the wraith and prowlers but when i tried what he did there was an invisible barrier that would slowly pull me back into the map and ive been stuck there for a while trying to make it just to the first tower (gonna try again later) but is there any strategy i could be using to get past them by despawn or just do the fast risky strat to ghost past everything

[tepid latch]

season 3 just came out and theres a couple of great events going on and coming up, why not 🤷

[halcyon folio]

Is the competitive scene balanced and it is fun would you say

[young glen]

It's free, so no harm in downloading it.

[torn wharf]

It’s balanced in the way that everybody plays it the same. Each gun is for a different purpose: to. Real Sheilds, to spray up close ect

That sounded stupid every game is like that

[devout kite]

Plus always stick with your team

[stone raven]

what if there a game where you play as a grunt?

[ruby lake]

that sounds a little too much-

[stone raven]

why?

[ruby lake]

i meant this

[smoky wave]

And at least 20 maps

[young glen]

I'd prefer my campaign to be longer than 5 seconds, thank you.

[smoky wave]

And 20 modes too, why not

[coarse dagger]

[young glen]

I wouldn't mind the carbine returning. I know it was pretty much identical to the BR in Halo 3 but it was so satisfying to use.

[stone raven]

how would it be five seconds?

[young glen]

Have you played a Halo campaign before?

[gilded oxide]

The UI for the playlist is so unintuitive. How they okayed this baffles me to this day

[stone raven]

yes

[young glen]

Then you'd understand my point.

However, if they were to implement an Overrun style mode like from Gears, then I'd like to play as a grunt. Otherwise, nahhh

[stone raven]

yeah I know its dumb

[tepid latch]

I enjoyed the campaign, its just still rough that so much action happened offscreen

[ruby knoll]

it's kinda funny how the complaints over the score performance labels only happened once the meaning was very literally spelled out

[tepid latch]

there was no connection aside from the banished to HW2 either, like i wanna know what happened to red team and Anders

[ruby knoll]

same

[tepid latch]

hope to hell we get some mark iv armour core stuff 🙏

[marble ermine]

Yeah. It’s awful. I haven’t seen anyone say anything about it either.

[short heart]

midway through game my mouse just decides to stop working

[marble ermine]

Yeah. They way I see it is they are still trying to make the game their own. If something isn’t broken don’t fix it.

[crystal iron]

is it called dreamwalkers because we will only ever see this in our dreams

[marble ermine]

Exactly.

[short heart]

cant do anything, but moves when im in menu, moves outside of the game, but i cant do anything ingame, what kind of bug is this and hows it even possible

[marble ermine]

Get a new mouse.

[short heart]

my mouse isnt broken

it works everywhere else lol

[marble ermine]

Then just delete Halo. We will forgive you

[short heart]

did that last week, wanted to give update a try

[marble ermine]

I wouldn’t call it an update

Nothing have been updated

[crystal iron]

https://imgur.com/a/pL8wY3m

Tis an interesting thing out of Conversation around this.

Has 343 given out any official statement on cross core? Any updates on it?

[marble ermine]

Just a release of more things we need to buy

Cross Core isn’t happening. You can see the differences in cores now. Chimera is a Halo 5 Core.

[crystal iron]

de-sync fix: 800 credits
dedicated server issues: 1600 credits

[marble ermine]

Mark VII is Halo 3

[crystal iron]

Honestly at this point of Leakers haven't shown any signs of cross core, I don't think we would see any soon. Those Leakers are freaking magicians lol

[signal ivy]

more additional content:
-All armors removed and placed with copies of Halo 4 Prefect Armor
-Halo 4 has been remade and added to Halo Infinite
-All Reach items have been removed and any references to Reach have been removed
-Dino-Blasters is back and worse than ever
-added world peace
-solved issue with world hunger
-spelling errors in item descriptions fixed

[marble ermine]

Too cheap.

[crystal iron]

But that's only for one Core

[marble ermine]

Perfect.

[tepid latch]

nothing has been said to prove this true yet, i hope this week we find out. initially they said only canon cores then maybe fracture cores

also halo 5 core lmao

[marble ermine]

It’s impossible for them to do.

[tepid latch]

its not, but go off ✌️

[crystal iron]

But don't worry you can pay an additional 300 credits for a PR statement of We are working on making it cross core... Followed by another store Shop update of the same.thimg for another core

[signal ivy]

why do you say Chimera is a Halo 5 core??

[marble ermine]

They need to redesign the entire shape of every spartan

[marble ermine]

Look at the locked content

Athlon is there

[signal ivy]

that's SPI, you're confused

[tepid latch]

there are h5 helmets in other cores too yo

[marble ermine]

Then Security was released for Mark VII

[signal ivy]

I don't see how that makes it a Halo 5 core

[marble ermine]

Ok. Simply

[tepid latch]

Maxi, are u really trolling at 8 in the morning 😭

[signal ivy]

because it has one Halo 5 helmet to unlock? lol

[marble ermine]

Cross Core = Too much work

343 = no work

[signal ivy]

gotcha so you don't want to actually respond to people 👍

[tepid latch]

🫡

[marble ermine]

Yes

Lol

I don’t understand the technicalities of it all

[signal ivy]

so what you're saying is you don't have enough information to make claims

[marble ermine]

But I highly doubt considering they’ve just released 2 new cores

That cross core is anywhere in the near future

[marble ermine]

Or that yes

But no one does

[signal ivy]

exactly

[tepid latch]

no, thats why we're waiting on word from devs

[signal ivy]

so maybe we shouldn't be making claims like that

[marble ermine]

Oh no

Don’t remember people must believe everything I say

[young glen]

I've given up any expectations of it coming. Not that I cared originally.

It's probably a nightmare to 'fix' the cross core issue. I just hope they slow down with the new cores.

[marble ermine]

Yes

[signal ivy]

new people who come in here and read statements like "Cross core isn't happening" may just do that exact thing

[marble ermine]

That’s what I think Force

It isn’t happening

I don’t really care either way tho

[young glen]

I'd wait until anything official before saying it isn't happening for sure. But on a personal level it's fine not to expect it.

[marble ermine]

I don’t understand the whole reason for people wanting it

[young glen]

Gives way more customisation options

[marble ermine]

What armour do you want to mix and match tho

[signal ivy]

all of it

[tepid latch]

hehehe

[marble ermine]

Only thing I see purpose is shoulders

Nothing else matters

[crystal iron]

They will offer you cross core for 1800 credits lol

[signal ivy]

expand your imagination to think of the epic monstrosities you could create

[marble ermine]

No

[tepid latch]

lmao i cant with Maxi 😭 people want freedom of choice atm its very limited

[bitter eagle]

Or just let us be able to color swap/ change the brightness of some colors

[marble ermine]

I have to buy a imagination expansion from Elon

[crystal iron]

Helmets man, I want Morrigan Helmet for MK 7 plus leg and chest attachments

[bitter eagle]

I mean do we really expect anything good to happen from 343?? This is the same company that charged $8 for blue at launch 😂

[marble ermine]

Thank you Copley

I honestly don’t see it happening

[young glen]

Well yes, they made Halo 5 and season 3 is a good start.

[marble ermine]

Season 3 is awful

[tepid latch]

*awesome

[young glen]

Haha

[marble ermine]

I can’t even play it

[young glen]

Why can't you play it?

Desync

Australia has been fine for me!
