I'm on mcc and all I did was change my crouch settings for Halo 3 and now my controls are all messed up and I cant reverse it. Left joystick lets me move forward and look let to right and left joystick lets me look up and down and move left to right and some buttons just don't work anymore. There is nothing wrong with the controller its mcc Halo 3 and it works in all the other Halo MCC games. How do I fix this problem?

[magic night]

Sounds like the whole control and thumbstick layout got changed

You'll have to change them back

[stone raven]

what are your thought on the halo reach brute conceptart https://twitter.com/Isaac_Hannaford/status/1570833645660942337?lang=en ?

[magic night]

This is like the third time you've asked this

[stone raven]

well not that many people answer it

[magic night]

You might get better, more consistent response if you create a forum post in #1076337363770417172

[stone raven]

ok I will do that

[fallow merlin]

Did anyone here ever find every skull in a Halo game on their own without knowing where they were beforehand?

Ive tried it with every game (in some cases I might have vaguely known one or two beforehand just from watching Halo videos on YouTube or whatever.) Closest I came was Infinite where I got 10/12. And one of them was because someone gave me a hint when I asked them not to and the hint wasn’t even correct and had me looking in the wrong spot so I don’t count that one and consider it 10/11 since I was basically trolled (though I don’t think it was intentional and maybe just a language barrier misunderstanding) with one of the skulls. I’d think if anyone actually found them all on their own without hints the best game to do that for would be CEA.

Though I missed quite a few. But that was my first game I tried to skullhunt. Now I’m much better at scouring levels. CE is the only game where all the skulls are as simple as just “find them” and none of them require you to to do anything special to trigger them to spawn.

Has anyone here ever done the full IWHBYD challenge in Halo 2? With the 28 elite ultras. I’ve done it twice. Hardest thing I think I’ve ever done in Halo. The amount of time it took me to come up with a crazy method to pull it off was just insane.

Naw dudes Halo Forge lost this one... Like come why can't forge have this already

[ruby knoll]

because forge is an ingame map editor and forkknife's whatever isn't?

[ruby knoll]

i don't get why people think comparing an external tool to an ingame one makes sense

(which is why I only compare forge to other ingame editors)

[crystal iron]

It's still a very impressive one from Fortnite I'm not really comparing them but more like making the statement that the current Creative 2.0 is very impressive and want something of that capability in Halo Forge. It really feels like Halo Infinite is still falling behind.

[sullen anvil]

halo infinite patch tomorrow nice

2 patches back to back is pretty good stuff

[ruby knoll]

this is like comparing forge to unity or something; inane

[crystal iron]

Like we can't sit here and if and act like the creative 2.0 mode isn't something impressive

[ruby knoll]

I can!
external tools have existed for a while

there's this tiny indie title called Warcraft 3, it launched with a modding tool. Spawned this game nobody knows about called Defense of the Ancients

Certainly, UE's gimmicks are neat but the concept is far from new

it's modding tools, given a fancy rebranding from what i've seen

[crystal iron]

I never said it was "new" I'm saying it's very impressive what people can create in it.
It looks fun, my kid and her friends are having a blast with it.

They keep saying Halo is just for old people too,

Yea it's modding tools that was given to a community with the largest hold on the gaming market.

[ruby knoll]

well credit to the people who actually make the stuff then

[fallow merlin]

Ive never tried the Halo 3 Mythic multiplayer map skulls. I just realized. I do have a vague idea of where some of them are. What are the Mythic maps in Halo 3?

There’s 6 right?

(Don’t tell me where the skulls are pls. I want to try to find them on my own.)

[signal ivy]

there's one under the bed

[fallow merlin]

What map

[signal ivy]

I was kidding

[fallow merlin]

I know

Should have said this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jsxyegwttC8

Andy’s Room forge map

[shell shadow]

I am not gonna lie Combat Evolved is a bit repetitive and boring so far, each level has the same design all the way through and there's not a lot of challenges like some of the other ones

[fallow merlin]

What difficulty and what graphics you playing on?

[shell shadow]

normal, and ive been switching between anniversary and original a bit

[uneven bison]

Uh.. play on legendary?

[shell shadow]

i just starting playing halo bruh

[fallow merlin]

Imo you should use original graphics first time through for many reasons. This is why I hate that 343 puts Reach first in the list of campaigns on MCC. Because a lot of new fans who don’t know better are gonna start with that. It’s like watching Star Wars for the first time and starting with the prequels. It’s fine if an established fan wants to watch in chronological order or play CE and 2 remasters but that shouldn’t be how someone experiences the games for the first time. And the order they put for the MCC campaigns isn’t even chronological because if it was they’d have ODST before 3.

[shell shadow]

Ah i see thats good to know

[fallow merlin]

Going from older games to CE can be jarring because CE definitely feels a little clunky in comparison gameplay wise.

The jumping always feels delayed to me

[shell shadow]

its not the gameplay its just level design

for me

[fallow merlin]

Honest question. Have you heard about the level design issue before you started playing? Because it’s something I see people talk about all the time in reviews. And I think people go in expecting to dislike it and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

I think CE genuinely has overall one of the best level designs in the series.

[shell shadow]

No I haven't

[shell shadow]

Go on...

[shadow mango]

I literally joined the server to rant about Halo Infinites BTB Social playlist. Idk what person at 343 thought that escalation and rocket slayer were going to be the main two game modes but they deserve some hate. 2/12 social games so far have ONLY been these two. Rant over kinda but I could absolutely slap someone for this

[crystal iron]

[fallow merlin]

It’s lacking in the kind of action set pieces you see in Halo 2 onwards. Stuff like fighting the scarab, etc. But the thing CE does so well is these wide open areas. Compare it to Halo 2 which is for the most part very linear in confined spaces. Halo CE starts out that way with the first level. And then the second level is this massive wide open area. You can choose what order you want to tackle the objectives at the end of the level. You don’t feel like you’re on a linear path (even though most of the time you are) like Halo 5 or most of Halo 2. The world feels expansive. The fourth level The Silent Cartographer is one of the best designed levels of all time imo. The way you can go around the island and tackle the objectives in any order you want. The atmosphere of the ring in general in CE (on classic graphics/audio - not remaster) has a very unique mysterious kind of creepy but beautiful feel.

[shell shadow]

ohh so its got more of a sandbox feel

good to know since im about to do silent cartographer

an example of what i didnt like would be the truth and reconciliation with its endless repetetive hallways that reminded me of the backrooms

[fallow merlin]

I get some of the levels use similar rooms and some of the levels backtrack through areas. But the encounters in each room are different. Also none of the rooms are actually totally the same in the first place. And even on the backtracking levels there’s no level where you don’t explore new areas on top of visiting old ones. And the visual aesthetic of the level is different, the route you go through is different, the enemy encounters are totally different and feature entirely different types of enemy factions. I think there’s things to criticize about CE level design. It has flaws. But I think they’re blown out of proportion. The game was rushed and they had to reuse some spots. It’s also important to remember the context. Game came out in 2001 and revolutionized shooters. So many things we take for granted these days originated from CE. When I play on remaster graphics I notice the repetitive level design much more personally because the overall charm of the areas is greatly diminished and goes from places that I don’t mind spending time in to wanting to be somewhere else. I love the lighting on the Truth And Reconciliation hallways on classic graphics with the beautiful greens and purples. It’s amazing how detailed those hallways actually are for a 2001 game when you take a second to look at the textures and designs. Then you turn on remaster and it’s just obnoxious saturated purple. Reach assets being repurposed in a way that just doesn’t work (and I think Reach itself is gorgeous).

[shell shadow]

Fair, putting it up to todays standards would be unacceptable

And yeah Reach is the prettiest game I've ever played

[fallow merlin]

Enjoy. It’s maybe my favorite Halo CE level. Though Halo and 343 Guilty Spark are also contenders. But I think I’d go with Silent Cartographer. Let me know what you think.

[shell shadow]

Anddd I crashed the warthog and died

10/10 level

[fallow merlin]

I agree. It’s a gorgeous game. I just don’t think you can repurpose assets from Reach and Halo 3 and call it a day. Because those games has a totally different style. The CE remaster is often very pretty on its own but it just doesn’t capture the vibe and charm of original CE. I think they did a much better job with the Halo 2 remaster (though I still prefer classic graphics and think first time players should use classic graphics but if you chose to do that definitely come back and check out the remaster cuz it’s much better than CEA imo and the cutscenes are awesome)

[fallow merlin]

Btw that fight on the Beach at the start is the inspiration for the fight on the beach in Reach at the start of Long Night Of Solace.

I love that beach battle. I think it’s great level design. Epic music playing while you storm the beach like D day with your marines. It feels wide and expansive but the way the enemies are placed and the rocks and shields they use as cover are placed, it funnels you to the center. It makes you feel like a badass. And then you get to go explore the island.

CE, 2, 3 and ODST also nail marines in a way Reach onward just haven’t quite gotten right imo.

[shell shadow]

Man it’s been so nice to play this with my Dad

He’s remembered the Cartographer level as being the best level in FPS

[shell shadow]

It really does

[crystal iron]

haven't seen that before

[fallow merlin]

He’s right. I’m also playing Halo with my dad. It’s a lot of fun.

Wait. You can’t say words in this server that are said in the games the server is dedicated to? Lol. Umm, alrighty then.

Point was the Reach, 4 and Infinite marines lack the same kind of humor and 90s action movie kinda lines. The OG trilogy marines made you feel like a God. You’d walk into an room and they’d get so excited at your presence. They were hilarious. Over the top. Full of charm. Reach marines felt a little too, idk? Serious. There was some goofiness at times especially with the IWHBYD skull activated but it wasn’t the same. Halo 4 marines looked terrible. Halo 5 marines aren’t even in the campaign and the Meridian people were meh. Infinite marines have the right look. And they’ve got some humor. But some of the charm just isn’t quite right. And a lot of the humor to me feels a little try hard. Like it’s something clearly written down beforehand. Whereas the OG trilogy humor is often clearly the voice actors riffing on the spot.

I miss Johnson. Sgt Stacker. The Australian. The Mexican(?). The female marine played by Michelle Rodriguez. And several others. They were so funny. Their lines never got old.

[uneven bison]

Chipps dubbo our lord and savior

[fallow merlin]

I remember one time playing Halo 2 and a female marine got killed and one of the marines goes over, kneels beside her body and says “she was one of the hot ones” sounding like he’s gonna cry. Lol. Reach onwards to me was missing that kind of humor. Or at least it was greatly reduced. The marines in CE-ODST are the best NPCs of all time.

[fallow merlin]

Definitely. He’s the Australian right?

[uneven bison]

Correct. He is also immortal

[fallow merlin]

I don’t understand for the life of me why Sgt Stacked wasn’t in Infinite.

They had Pete Stacker in the voice booth to do Keyes flashback lines.

[tardy turtle]

A while back, but I always suggest a True Timeline run-through of the games. Forget when it came out, play that story from start to finish.

[fallow merlin]

For first time players?

[tardy turtle]

Yep

As well I always suggest first playthroughs to be on Easy.

[ruby knoll]

https://twitter.com/HaloFunTime/status/1640403509441970190

tfw no embed
@river minnow pls

[tardy turtle]

And just for the curious, a True Timeline playthrough (Easy: Games Only) is:

Halo Wars
Halo Reach
Halo: CE
Halo: Fireteam Raven (if possible)
Halo 2 (STOP after Metropolis)
Halo 3: ODST (STOP before Epilogue)
Halo 2 (RESUME with The Arbiter)
Halo 3: ODST (RESUME with Epilogue) (Technically a backtrack, but easier than stopping the closing cutscene for The Great Journey in the middle)
Halo 3
Halo: Spartan Assault
Halo 4
Halo 4: Spartan Ops
Halo: Spartan Strike
Halo 5
Halo Wars 2
Halo Infinite

[uneven bison]

I believe that fireteam raven has multiple versions. Your standard 2 player and a 4 player I’ve never seen

[tardy turtle]

4 player just has more of the ODST squad, I believe. Same storyline

It'll be easier to include if it ever comes to Xbox. Spartan Strike, too

[tepid latch]

Lmao can this get pinned T_T what a concise timeline

[magic night]

I assumed the 4 player was standard and the 2 player was non standard, considering that it seemed to make the most sense that the full squad would be the best way to play.

[bright jasper]

Why is there still a penalty for leaving matches or getting disconnected etc? As far as I know infinite is the only game that still does that.

Maybe I don’t want to play a bad gametype on a bad map. Maybe I have specific challenges. Stop punishing us

[tardy turtle]

Every Halo game has done that.

[sterile shore]

anyone got any tips on achieving hunting?

[bright jasper]

So stop. I’m saying why still do it? There’s no point

[tardy turtle]

Maybe you should stop leaving games

[bright jasper]

The game crashed twice today and gave me a 10 minute ban

If I want to leave I should be able to. I can in cod. There’s no penalty except in ranked. That’s how it should be

[tardy turtle]

And yet you were complaining about being penalized for leaving.

[bright jasper]

They force us to play gametypes and maps we don’t want

[tardy turtle]

Then why are you selecting that gametype?

[signal ivy]

social players deserve fair games too. Leaving is bad no matter the mode and people should be punished accordingly

[bright jasper]

You can’t not play the ones it gives you

[round forge]

How is Halo Wars 2 after Halo 5? ||The Ark was destroyed at the end of Halo 3.||

[signal ivy]

then just take the L and play like everyone else has to. You can always try again

[bright jasper]

I didn’t realize you couldn’t read, my bad. I didn’t say that at all so that’s what you’re missing

[bright jasper]

This is one reason the game is dead

[signal ivy]

because people have to deal with quitters and get upset and stop playing? I agree. Be a part of the solution not the problem

[tardy turtle]

Halo 5 takes place in the Autumn of 2558, ending October 28, 2558. Halo Wars 2 takes place from March 28th, 2559 to June 5th, 2559

[tardy turtle]

What's your GT? Asking so I can avoid you and be assured to not have a teammate that will flake on me because they don't feel like the game.

[signal ivy]

constant quitters should have BP tiers revoked 👏

[distant plank]

Hi

[signal ivy]

or put into games with other constant quitters so they can experience the pain

[round forge]

But that still makes no sense. It even said on Halo Waypoint "The Master Chief and the Arbiter activated Installation 04B prematurely. Resulting in a massive explosion destroying both Installation 04B and The Ark."

[signal ivy]

there's a timejump between HW1 and HW2.

and there are reasons for the timejump explained in the games

[tardy turtle]

The Ark was damaged, not destroyed. We know this from Hunters in the Dark, Halo Wars 2, and even Cortana's statement that Installation 08 firing prematurely did a "number" on the Ark.

[bright jasper]

I’ve probably already blocked you for going so negative in ranked

[tardy turtle]

For the better

[bright jasper]

🐀

[ruby knoll]

fr

[bright jasper]

It’s always the worst players that think like this, it baffles me. Why do you want everyone around you to suffer

[analog salmon]

the quit penalities should be stricter but man this game badly needs a match composer

[tardy turtle]

Says the guy quitting games

[bright jasper]

I D/C’d

I’ve explained this. Your IQ is lower than your kd

[analog salmon]

i mean you said you should just be allowed to quit any non ranked match

[tardy turtle]

Then why do you care so much about how the game should just allow you to quit if you don't feel like playing it? Have some consistency in your complaint, my guy

[crystal iron]

Dude it’s a video game who gives a flying hoot about how people play

As much as I hate players in my region being worse than bots I understand that everyone still has to start somewhere

[bright jasper]

Everyone should yes. Like every other multiplayer game that exists

[analog salmon]

halo is just garbage if players can quit any match they dont like

like nah

[ruby knoll]

it's what happened in MCC for ages until 343i finally put in quit penalties

[analog salmon]

its a team game, its not COD where you can just do ur thing and slay

[ruby knoll]

hoping they can also kill the AFKer plague

[analog salmon]

COD is so pathetically basic as a game that comparing it to Halo is nonsense

[bright jasper]

It’s a team game where 90% of the players don’t even know the controls

[crystal iron]

And?

That was all of us at one point

[analog salmon]

most games like halo probably have quit penalities

[bright jasper]

None that I’m aware of

[analog salmon]

Infinite has issues and i quit games over them but acting like the problem is you not being allowed to quit is absurd

[bright jasper]

The op I was making was about the quit penalty being in effect when games crash

[analog salmon]

i think everyone agrees they need to fix the crashes

[bright jasper]

The leaving is a secondary issue, it’s SOCIAL. There are BOTS

[tardy turtle]

"Maybe I don’t want to play a bad gametype on a bad map. Maybe I have specific challenges. Stop punishing us" - you, 30 minutes ago

[bright jasper]

Maybe I don’t want to play a stupid gametype on a bad map

[analog salmon]

i mean i agree but that's why they need a match composer

[tardy turtle]

Look, if you don't want a timeout, then stop being a quitter.

[analog salmon]

if you let people quit they will quit for no good reason

[crystal iron]

Well you play cod so you should understand the phrase “choices have consequences”

[ruby knoll]

games can't detect if you crash

[tardy turtle]

Ironic, I know; quit being a quitter. But I mean, baby steps.

[bright jasper]

You don’t get banned for quitting matches in cod

[ruby knoll]

or rather, since there's ways to fake crashing or quitting or disconnects or whatever the game can't detect what the actual cause is without being excessively intrusive

[bleak nymph]

Honestly unless they bump the bots up to Spartan difficulty, they are just free kills. Sure Spartan bots aren't gonna win matches against most players but at least they will do something

[bright jasper]

Why should I play out a bad gametype with bad teammates on a bad map? Explain the logic

[tardy turtle]

Then play CoD?

[round forge]

Also they can't tell between a game crash and someone just cutting the power to their PC.

[analog salmon]

like i quit attrition matches 9 times out of 10 but ultimately i do that cus everyone else quits modes they dont like and there's no penalty. I didnt quit in past halo games and those games didn't have so many wacko modes forced on you

[crystal iron]

Because you queued for the match

[bright jasper]

I just need to finish the stupid weekly

[signal ivy]

intentionally ruining games is bad and you should feel bad

[analog salmon]

i mean that's just the dumbest reason

[tardy turtle]

LOL

[analog salmon]

if you really really dont like a mode fair, but if you just wanna get a cosmetic, uninstall the game

[crystal iron]

You quitting because you don’t want to play a mode or map is part of the problem

Like who cares if the team sucks, pop off, go for clips or something

[analog salmon]

i know but i would stop if they had penalties so everyone else stopped. the penalty is so weak that quiting is rampant

i would probably only queue Team Slayer or Ranked though. Idk why we cant just have a traditional Objective playlist like every other halo game

[round forge]

But then some moron will just report you but I guess that's better than the 100% chance of being banned for quitting.

[tardy turtle]

Hold up. The weekly is literally just 10 power weapon kills? My dude, just play a couple games of Fiesta. There is literally zero excuse to be a quitter.

[analog salmon]

the problem really is matchmaking in this game is just archaic

[crystal iron]

Reporting doesn’t work so there’s no issue with that lmao

[analog salmon]

Quick play should not be a playlist, it should be a way to queue multiple playlists for faster matchmaking times

and then the game should have more playlists to choose from

[crystal iron]

So something like the quick match for cgb on MCC

[analog salmon]

ideally a match composer but if that's too hard then just make Quick play actually function like it sounds

[round forge]

I really wish it did. I literally gave up reporting people after spending about three hours trying to report (due to the stupidity of the site) and getting my ticket closed for not responding to an email I never received.

[bright jasper]

It didn’t let me see what it was going to be beforehand

[crystal iron]

Probably because then people would quit before even loading in so teams would be unbalanced

[bright jasper]

There is literally no other reason to play this game lol

[analog salmon]

fyi you usually can see where it lists your friends, then if its a mode you dont like you can toggle your internet off for a second

[round forge]

You can't determine what game mode you'll be playing in competitive matchmaking. Especially with things like fiesta.

[bright jasper]

It wouldn’t finish loading that way, it’s how COD does it. It would restart the search

[analog salmon]

you will still get banned for doing it i think though

and if you requeue that playlist you might just get put into that match

[round forge]

That can also get you banned sometimes. I know from experience.

[tardy turtle]

Bottom line if you're just going to quit out of a game, you have no ground to be chuffed about a 10 minute time out.

[analog salmon]

i've never done it enough to get banned so idk how people even get banned in this game

[bright jasper]

Give a valid reason not to quit other than fear of a ban

[analog salmon]

but if im going to quit over a mode, i try to do it in the lobby so the game has plenty time to find someone else

[bright jasper]

You can’t see the mode before the game is started can you?

[tardy turtle]

No. I'm not going to fluff egos here, Donatello. Quit and get banned

[analog salmon]

friends section you can see

you go to where it shows your fireteam details and it shows what match you are in before you even load

[bright jasper]

Exactly, you don’t have one.

Nice L you’ve got there

[analog salmon]

its cause leaving causes imbalance and its basically gonna quin the match for your team mates if you are decent and the game weighted the teams based on your skill

[tardy turtle]

Might have a loss, but I'm not a quitter, so...

[crystal iron]

No ego is pretty good, means you’re not overzealous

[bright jasper]

Is that new? I’ve never heard of that. Also I don’t have any friends that play this game, all my long time Halo friends deleted it a long time ago

[analog salmon]

i mean its in the place where it shows your friends list

[bright jasper]

You literally just ragequit a valid question

[tardy turtle]

It's not my job to convince you to play, dude

[analog salmon]

I think you press F1 to open it unless i set that binding myself

[bright jasper]

I get that, what I meant was I never check my friends list. I don’t even think I know how honestly

[bright jasper]

You sure came into this discussion gung ho trying to. Your entire counter point is “how dare you not play this game”

[analog salmon]

honestly dude if you're decent at this game you might as well just wait until they add some ranked maps

and pray they are good maps

[tardy turtle]

Uh, no. But nice strawman. I "came into this" ridiculing the notion that you should be allowed to quit

[bright jasper]

I don’t even care about onyx anymore, I won’t get any higher than I did in season 2 and it’s just a boring grind on a good day, and a mental health crisis on a bad one

[analog salmon]

i just play ranked for fun honestly i think i also hit Onyx in S2 and just hover high diamond now

[bright jasper]

What is the alternative then oh wise sage, oh mighty gamemaster?

[crystal iron]

Can we not devolve into attacking each other

[analog salmon]

but ranked has nothing with Season 3 until Plaza and they removed perfectly good maps so i really dont feel like there's much reason to play rn

[bright jasper]

I got to 1610 and know I can’t hit that now so it’s not even worth it. Ranked in this game has no relevance since they constantly reset it

[analog salmon]

its just more fun for me honestly

[tardy turtle]

Expect to get a time out if you're gonna quit. That's been the rules for literally the entirety of Halo matchmaking. Preemptively: this isn't COD. If you want to quit carte blanche, play COD

[bright jasper]

And since ranked is the only decent game mode there’s just no reason to play anything else. So if ranked is pointless and the rest of the game is too, why not allow us to do what we want

[bright jasper]

No, explain why I should have to suffer through a bad game type on a bad map with bad teammates

[analog salmon]

i mean they're trying to make the game not suck and not make people wanna quit matches

[tardy turtle]

No.

[analog salmon]

i dont think just removing quit penalities is the answer lol

[bright jasper]

Then stop trying to take the high ground Anakin

You have no argument

[tardy turtle]

How do you know they're bad teammates if you quit on them? The quitter is always worse than those who try

[river minnow]

I was asleep

[bright jasper]

You call that trying? They can’t even figure out what trigger is the gun and which is the grenades

[tardy turtle]

And you know that... How?

[river minnow]

hell yes

[analog salmon]

what your missing is its not their fault your in the same lobby as them

[river minnow]

quitters deserve harsher and harsher punishments each time

[analog salmon]

ideally the game would have a big enough population and a good matchmaking system so you dont even get put in the same lobby as vastly lower skill players

i've had social games i lose my first FF, we all get wiped, and one guy quits immediately cus he thinks his whole team is trash

its annoying cus i actually like the sweaties social games where im getting out played but some people have no chill and instantly quit

[bright jasper]

You guys don’t seem to understand what this game does for my mental health. It’s literally designed from the ground up to make me hate every second of my life wasted on it

[crystal iron]

So, stop playing it

It wasn’t designed that way, you designed your perspective to think that

[ruby knoll]

Sounds like PEBCAK tbh

[bright jasper]

What is that

[bright jasper]

I finally got my weekly done so I am.

I have been wanting to play ranked CoD all night and this stupid game took forever

[crystal iron]

Good for you, have a cookie

[bright jasper]

I’ll consider this if you please explain what that means

[ruby knoll]

Modern gamers truly are.... something

[bright jasper]

I still don’t know what you’re talking about

[crystal iron]

No game is designed to make your mental health decline while playing it, it’s you who builds up either a coping mechanism for your dissatisfaction for the game or as a means of covering up a personal issue I suppose

[bright jasper]

So me becoming more and more angry and not having fun and feeling as though not only am I wasting time but also not accomplishing anything is not an issue with how the game is designed?

[crystal iron]

Well no

[bright jasper]

Because I’m kind of positive that’s the way they design these games

To increase player retention

[crystal iron]

I mean, would you say that about dark souls or sekiro

[bright jasper]

Those are masterpieces

[crystal iron]

I could easily say they’re meant to make me more and more angry and feel like I’m wasting time and not accomplishing anything

[bright jasper]

But they’re not.

They’re designed to reward you for improving

From the ground up they’re built around you becoming better to progress

[crystal iron]

And that’s what this game does too

At least for ranked

But I’m going off on a tangent, if you’re not finding the game fun and you’re finding it frustrating, stop playing it. Nobody is forcing you to play it, and you can always come back to it when you’re in the mood

[bright jasper]

I disagree on that. The way ranked is designed in this game it does not reward improvement

[crystal iron]

Sometimes spending time away from a game can help improve your thinking

[bright jasper]

If you improve, in order to keep you at your specified hidden mmr, it will pair you with worse teammates or against much stronger opponents

Or both

You can’t actually tell you’re getting better because the game doesn’t want you to. It wants equilibrium so you feel compelled to play more

[crystal iron]

Possibly

I wouldn’t be able to tell you because ranked is currently unplayable for me lol

[bright jasper]

I mean, that’s what they admitted to. The goal of a 50% win/loss no matter what is how they design these games, social or ranked

[crystal iron]

Hm ok

[bright jasper]

Actually omg that’s why they don’t want quitting to be common, it throws off the algorithm

Jesus we just cracked the code

https://tenor.com/view/an-unexpected-christmas-alison-wandzura-columbo-cracked-the-case-columbo-gif-23940620

[tepid latch]

A 50% win/loss means that both teams have a 50% chance to win or lose my guy... they're not going to make the game so you 100% win wtf would be the point in that...

they're also not putting you in matches that you will definitely lose either. the goal is to make sure that both sides are even.

[bright jasper]

This notion has been disproven

[tepid latch]

okay

[bright jasper]

Okay

Take btb for example. If you do too well a few games in a row, your entire team will suddenly have less than 10 kills each, the enemy will get multiple tank drops, and you will be the only one positive on your team

That’s not just balancing, that’s forcing you to lose

[left snow]

And by "example", you mean a vaguely interesting anecdote? Of dubious accuracy.

[bright jasper]

So you’re saying most people here don’t have a similar story?

oh my god it’s this moron again, why do you always pop up to troll with stupid nonsense anyway,

Blooooocked again scumbag

[left snow]

I'm sure if you go back over your game history you'll find the occasional "unbalanced" game that ended a bit of streak. But you'll also find heaps of results that contradict it. It all balances out.

That chat went well...

[bleak nymph]

Ahh Darwi my old waypoint nemesis 😂 glad you're here.

[bright jasper]

I’m being actively censored and that’s just wrong

I get insulted directly by multiple people and nobody bats an eye, I insult a person that literally stalks me online and I get a warning. Adorable

[left snow]

Just finding my feet. Didn't take long to be blocked by someone. I assume it was someone else from Waypoint. 😄

[tepid latch]

Who are you being Insulted by i didn't see this

been actively reading the chat since you went on your rant about quitting and only saw people try and debate you, but no insulting 🤔

[frosty condor]

Please don’t bring any Waypoint drama here

This is a drama free zone

[tepid latch]

there's waypoint drama?!?!?

[frosty condor]

Just skimming the past several posts

[tepid latch]

oh, fairo

[left snow]

A rainy afternoon in Tasmania. Good time to hit up the man cave for some Halo. Pity about the 270ms pings. 😦

[bright jasper]

Multiple people, including the one I blocked

[left snow]

???

[tepid latch]

rainy down there? man its like 30+ °C here in Bris dont think we're seeing a drop today

[lime robin]

You guys have chances of rain?

[tepid latch]

0% by the looks

[left snow]

14 degrees here. A couple of degrees cooler than I would like. 🙂 Can't stand the heat and/or humidity. I had to work in Kalgoorlie a couple of weeks ago and it was heading towards 45. 😦

Just lost an epic game of CTF. It was 3 all with seconds to go and they managed to sneak a cap. 😦

Managed 23 & 18 despite the lag.

Game's always good when nobody quits.

[tepid latch]

I think we've been on steady 30's for a couple weeks now, couple spikes about 35 🥵 my home office and actual office dont have ACs atm tho so its been a lil uncomfortable to work fullstop

always love a game where noone quits, makes the game much more fun

[bleak nymph]

-2 here 😎

[bright jasper]

We just had a string of devastating tornadoes

My local area is fine but surrounding areas don’t exist anymore

[bleak nymph]

Sorry to hear that, I'm sure a lot of people have been affected.

[bright jasper]

Does anyone on this discord regularly play infinite or is it a once a week thing at most

[worldly tendon]

I play a match or two just about every day

[bright jasper]

its either I quit out of unplayable matches or I mill myself, which would you prefer

[river minnow]

you stop playing the game as a whole

[bright jasper]

that involves quitting, so how do you reconcile it

[river minnow]

quit the game, not quit your matches

[bright jasper]

what's the difference

just turn off my pc lol

[river minnow]

thats not what im saying lol

just stop playing halo infinite as a whole

[bright jasper]

then i'm walking around getting killed over and over for like 2 minutes while it catches up

so here's a hypothetical: what if a game is extremely mismatched because a group, very often from a discord setting like this, is stacking their team to search against randoms to make themselves look good on stream and make everyone just trying to play the game after work look bad to boost their own egos and increase views on their videos? Is it acceptable to quit then, why or why not?

[ripe thistle]

Oddly specific scenario that i dont think is as common as you think it is, but who knows

[river minnow]

yeah when is that ever gonna happen

[bright jasper]

literally every day

[river minnow]

so the people you go up against every day are people from this discord, streaming to boost their egos?

[bright jasper]

I play this game like once a week because I hate it, but yeah often

[coarse dagger]

It's my life's purpose to stream and boost my ego

[river minnow]

i aim to be like you stckr

[bright jasper]

its rare that I don't see teams in btb

[river minnow]

youre always gonna have people stacking in that mode, its normal

but the games should be decently balanced

[bright jasper]

are you joking

[river minnow]

no, i dont get rolled over in every game i play. and the times i do, i know its me doing badly and not them being amazing compared to me

[bright jasper]

what's your GT I want to check that

[river minnow]

idk what its gonna prove if i said i know i do badly in some of them but sure its on my discord profile

[bright jasper]

I'm not seeing it

[river minnow]

revenantss

[left snow]

There once was a player who quit.
Any time that his Spartan was hit.
So many excuses...
But in fact the whole truth is -
At playing he was actually... not quite as good he thought he was. 🙂

[river minnow]

pfft ive just seen my recent btb games and ive done awful, but again, the team hasnt been steam rolled lol

[bright jasper]

you weren't playing any teams that I can tell, unless it was just small groups of friends or something. I'm talking about people who specifically stack to farm randoms

I know a number of groups who do that. They hold the objective, etc.

[river minnow]

oh yeah, thats because i was exclusively playing the 24/7 btb oasis map, but i cant see an option for it on halo tracker

[bright jasper]

how do I have certain people blocked but they can still harass me, how do I make them not exist

[river minnow]

yeah its not there

[bright jasper]

too bad, I played that some too

hated it. Ran into a couple of teams but mostly just hated the experience of playing with so many randoms

[river minnow]

oh no it is there - nvm

[left snow]

Does anyone have any advice for using the Shroud?

I tried using a few times to help my team in a game of oddball - but all it did was confuse everyone?

[finite river]

shoot it off the map and never pick it up again is a good option

[river minnow]

yeah just looked at it, 22 wins to 21 losses in btb unlimited, its pretty balanced

[river minnow]

idk how to use it effectively

been waiting for someone to mention or make a video but seen nothing

[bright jasper]

because once again, it tries to force a 50% win rate. The only time it doesn't apply is in free for all modes

[river minnow]

best ive come up with is putting the enemy in a shroud screen to run away

[river minnow]

no no no no no

[bright jasper]

BUT, if you're stacking a team and stomping randoms all night, you're not going to lose matches at all

[left snow]

It worked well once - when the ball carrier jumped up on the ledge next to PD (Streets). I put the Shroud over them to stop people shooting them. But that's just a silly place to take the ball in the first place.

[coarse dagger]

Uh, no

[bright jasper]

it is yes

[coarse dagger]

There is no forced 50% win rate.
Each team is matched up with as close to a 50% chance of winning as it can make, it's up to each team to take the win

[bright jasper]

So that's why certain people have disproportionately high kd/s and win rates. They stack teams and search easy matches against people that barely even know the controls

[coarse dagger]

I can probably dig up a Josh Menke tweet for this

[bright jasper]

that is literally impossible in many situations due to the declined population

[river minnow]

I could get an uny tweet too

[river minnow]

out of curiosity, have you done your placements this season

[bright jasper]

yeah I placed D2, as I said in one of these threads I don't care about Onyx anymore because I can't see myself getting higher than I did previously

[coarse dagger]

I just realised this conversation has been going for over 2 hours, jesus

Take a break

[bright jasper]

I did

this is one of them

Ok, time to move on now

This is circular and boring

[smoky wave]

This tweet is so good lmao

[bright jasper]

use your noodles. they "balancing" the teams to achieve a 50/50 win rate? They attach anchors to players who are performing well

[coarse dagger]

We're done with the conspiracy theories now

[bright jasper]

they're not placing two teams of pros against each other to even it out, they're getting one pro per team and 3 people that just downloaded the game

its not a conspiracy theory, and I'm just blocking you now for trolling

[smoky wave]

LOL

[coarse dagger]

Blocking staff is not advisable

:)

[smoky wave]

Sorry stckr you are now a troll 😔

[left snow]

We know that TrueSkill2 is very good at assessing your rank. So all the system has to do is divide the "talent" evenly between the two teams and fate will do the rest. It doesn't have to manipulate anything.

Of course, it can't predict how said teams will "gel" together - so you will end up with some "unbalanced" results here and there. But overall everything will just keep drifting back to 50:50.

[limber karma]

Can anyone give me advice as far as improving my aim consistency?

Some days, my aim will be amazing, other days, not so much.

[bright jasper]

part of that is just the game being inconsistent honestly

from match to match it can be all over the place

[young glen]

Mouse or controller?

[river minnow]

just one last comment

[zealous panther]

I mean, youtuber can't be wrong, because he feel like it, right?

[willow nexus]

Did halo infinite screw up my controls? Y do they feel so slow compared to mcc?

[obtuse storm]

Check your settings.

[river minnow]

probably got reset

[zinc glen]

what have I missed in Halo have they added anything to MCC?

[willow nexus]

Nah it’s not reset I checked everything but it still feels very off

[zinc glen]

maybe its been a while since you played?

and you're not yet used to the controls again

[finite river]

i guarantee its aim acceleration

[glacial tartan]

The only two things that have happened in MCC was a double XP weekend several weeks ago, and the message of the day is no longer actually updated it just points you to a static website. . 343 hasn’t mentioned MCC at all in 2023.

They did also remove the MCC section of the news page on Halo Waypoint.

[limber karma]

@young glen Mouse and Keyboard

[coarse dagger]

There's still work being done on MCC, but it's back to a "ready when it's ready approach".
I think for a lot of this they can't put realistic timescales on it

[zinc glen]

you know what I'm impressed they are at where they are considering the mass firing

[crystal iron]

I’m not gonna lie fiesta is probably the only mode I wish never returned lol

[zinc glen]

what's wrong with fiesta?

[limber karma]

So are you guys gonna nerf snipers?

They are literally a game changer more than anything else in this game

There are people who suck with every other weapon in this other than sniper and STILL do amazingly

I mean straight up, they suck with every other weapon. No exaggeration. Base weapons, beam, name a weapon and they'll suck with it

But a guy with a sniper is godlike just for holding that ONE weapon

Legitimately, ANYONE who does well with a sniper. NOT ONE GAME

He sucked with the pistol

He sucked with the assault rifle. He sucked with EVERY other gun, yet he's at the top of the board just cause he knows how to snipe

There's a HUGE difference between being a power weapon and just being BROKEN

I'd rather deal with CINDER SHOT and SPANKERS

Compared to the S7 garbage

"Durrr, don't peak your head out" AND IF I NEED TO?!

Give me one reason why S7 Sniper is balanced? It can two shot people, it can one shot people if it's not already doing that, it has a good amount of ammo, there are TWO of them at times meaning whomever is doing better with it automatically wins

By the time the bullets are gone, another spawns

TWO of them spawn on each map they're on

You know what's sad? I'm not the only person who's complained about this.

And the ones that have "defended it" have had 0 good reasons as to why and have just PROVEN it's a busted weapon.

"Oh, just don't let them see you :B" Yeah, that's a bad sign you 2 year old.

In a game where you have to LOOK at someone to kill them. Meaning you HAVE to let them see you.

And if you don't, you STILL have to move forward most of the time.

We just won a match and I can't even be happy about it. One thing I liked about this game is how diverse the weapons could be. Now, it's usually weapons that can 1 shot you and the S7 being the BIGGEST offender

[tepid latch]

Omg @limber karma you're back to "Sniper too OP" again!? its literally a power weapon!

[limber karma]

Weird... Is the Spanker a power weapon?

[tepid latch]

YES

[limber karma]

Is the Cinder Shot a power weapon? I'd rather deal with both of them.

Being a power weapon and being overpowered are two different things damn it.

[tepid latch]

The sniper is not overpowered tho

[limber karma]

I have never seen someone get a rocket often enough and perpetually make it to the top of the leaderboard.

I have seen plenty of people who have grabbed a sniper and it was over.

Their score was amazing despite the fact that they suck at every other weapon. I mean EVERY other weapon.

EVERY other weapon

[tepid latch]

who tf are you constantly playing with my guy? mint blitz?

[limber karma]

No. People in quick play

Give me a reason why it's not OP

A REAL reason

[tepid latch]

Because it has terrible hip fire accuracy therefore its most consistent use is only from range

[limber karma]

I've seen people do work with it without needing range as long as they use cover intelligently

From up close.

And don't tell me people can't no scope with that thing

[tepid latch]

im not saying people cant no scope. im saying that there is much more skill involved in such a task, the same goes for even zooming in, with such a small reticle you still have a small point to aim at

[limber karma]

I've done it and I barely used S7.

[tepid latch]

same and same. plenty of luck to go around for all of us <3

stop complaining cuz you're getting owned by snipers

[limber karma]

Oh. You mean like the rest of my team?

It's just a coincidence that the highest person on the board is always some jerk with an S7?

Okay :B My bad

[tepid latch]

probably not, the highest person on your team probably has the sniper because they have good accuracy

[limber karma]

It's not even by a small margin

Oh. Weird

So whenever I see most of these people and they suck at an up close pistol fight, which is rare btw since they try to fish for S7

And they miss every shot and I own them and dump on their face

They have amazing accuracy. They even suck with assault rifle. It's pathetic how bad they miss.

Honestly, I'm shocked they're good at aiming with just that 1 weapon.

[tepid latch]

maybe the sniper people choose the sniper because thats what they're good at then my guy, its not a constantly spawning weapon on maps

[limber karma]

Okay. Here's an issue with that argument. They get good at it. They finish all their bullets. Another one spawns.

Legitimately, it has happened almost every time. They will be done with their ammo and guess what? "Power weapons, bla bla bla"

WHOA!

Guess what?!

Just walked into another game and guess what's happening?

In just a few seconds, most of my team died

[tepid latch]

god pls send a clip or something, i wanna see this happening

[limber karma]

You're legitimately one of the only people I have ever seen defend it.

I was in a chat on here and other people were legitimately stating "Yeah. Every weapon like the S7 is broken."

"That is the meta of the game right now."

[tepid latch]

because i've never had issues like you're describing, if i see a sniper i hide til i can get upclose and take them out

[limber karma]

But know what my biggest issue with it is? It's not fun. I can handle losing

But not when I can't play.

I almost never see any other weapon if that one exists on the map

I almost never see the shotgun anymore. I almost never see the beam. I almost never see the needler.

I'll once in a while see that blue plasma sniper rifle.

Maybe a sword. Rarely a hammer.

Funny enough, I will see the Plasma Pistol from time to time

[modest violet]

I think one of the things to note is that people with good aim/accuracy are going to obviously pick weapons that have a high dmg output and less spread. Its obviously really annoying sometimes when someone on the other team is cracked with a sniper but like I personally know that’s them being good with the weapon/aim in general because if I pick it up I’m not going to perform that well necessarily

[low musk]

Just 3 more Shock/Hardlight kills and 4 more AR/S7/SPNK/Bulldog kills and I have the weeklies done

[limber karma]

Here's the issue I have with that. If I learn the S7, I can get good. You can get good. Anyone can. But almost every time I see someone who's good with the weapon, it's game over.

Even when I have someone on my team who's good with it, I don't even get to do anything.

I legit don't get to fight

So it's like, why am I playing if the game's being played for me by one guy?

And the insulting thing? Almost every sniper I see sucks with every other weapon. Including your base ones. And I'm not the first person who's said this or the last.

[tepid latch]

I dont know what games you're playing because thats rarely ever the case for me? every map provides decent enough cover to avoid snipers and thats how i've always played it, there's never been a time where my entire team is absolutely pinned down by a sniper guy

[low musk]

I think that is because the game has such a high speed that its going make alot of weapons feel slower in comparison

[limber karma]

I once spawned on the new map Ethan and died before I could do anything.

Guess what weapon killed me.

Just take a wild stab

[coarse dagger]

That's classic Halo

That happens in pretty much every Halo game

[limber karma]

Something being classic does not make it good.

[coarse dagger]

It was how you held and won games in CE

[tepid latch]

im off to play a nice game of halo

[limber karma]

Nice game. sure

[white osprey]

map knowledge and general positioning are what make a great sniper, alongside the accuracy. obviously, high vantage points with solid cover are where you'll most often find a sniper. cracked snipers are just some losers who learn the map by heart enough to just be unseeable the entire round. they (oftentimes) suck at most other weapons because of the accomodations for the sniper are different for that of an assault rifle (for example). knowing said vantage points, and how to get to them, weakens them by a long shot, because youre able to disarm them of the op position they have, where they thrive the most. basically, learn the vantage points and pray you dont end up in their crosshair while getting to them.

[zinc glen]

which halo?

[obtuse storm]

the game

[tepid latch]

Infinite

[obtuse storm]

[limber karma]

@white osprey Alright. If you feel so confident in those words, teach me to kill a sniper. I want to kill every single one

[zinc glen]

going to say the grenade because I can't imagine it'll be the sniper its not OP enough

[limber karma]

I want them to feel like they're pathetic and should cry to their mom cause they couldn't S7 someone

[obtuse storm]

You still have to have skill

[limber karma]

And I'm going to say you're wrong. It was an S7. I spawned and within a line of site

[zinc glen]

skills get kills

[limber karma]

from a far enough distance, I got headshotted

[zinc glen]

I have an easy solution

don't die

[obtuse storm]

not dying usually helps, yeah

[zinc glen]

exactly

[limber karma]

That is such... I feel sorry for Ethan at this point cause he had better points than "Durr, don't die"

[smoky wave]

Don't go the same place where the sniper expect a enemy going too

[obtuse storm]

It

is what it is

[limber karma]

Tell me. How can I not die to an S7 and still bring the game in our favor?

[white osprey]

i'd say snipe them back, but map knowledge comes first. regular high vantage points with cover are your best bet, because they oversee the map. use cover around you to cut off their LOS. your teammates closing in on their position also usually helps, yk. although, if they hard scope, you're done.

[smoky wave]

Also you can shoot them and they can't scope so it is more difficult for them to snipe

[limber karma]

So the best way to defeat a sniper is by using the weapon you guys were trying to defend about not being OP

[zinc glen]

get gud grrr

[limber karma]

Human logic makes me want to vomit

[white osprey]

im not saying it isnt, im saying theyre using it to their advantage.

[crystal iron]

Hi

[zinc glen]

sup

[smoky wave]

Other than that, learn your mistakes and see what strategy sticks

[white osprey]

hello

[limber karma]

I realize, you are correct. They are. Nerf.

[obtuse storm]

halo's sniper is unchanged in how it deals damage over 20 years

[white osprey]

nerfing them wouldnt make the snipers worse, itd make them smarter actually.

[smoky wave]

The sniper is fine

[obtuse storm]

it is indeed.

[white osprey]

if they want to continue to play, theyll play around the nerf and use it to their advantage.

[smoky wave]

Just learn how to deal vs them

[crystal iron]

Nerfing sniper would be stupid. It is supposed to be powerful because it’s POWER weapon

[zinc glen]

adapt and overcome

[obtuse storm]

The game is not here to accommodate you. Learn to use the sandbox or suffer to it. it's how it's always been

[white osprey]

in other words, learn basic positioning and youll be fine for the most part.

[limber karma]

So let me ask. Why am I not complaining about Spankers or Cinder Shot? They're power weapons. They can one shot you.

Well, mostly two shot with Cinder, but still

[white osprey]

do you see snipers up front? rarely

[smoky wave]

Because you have skill issue to deal vs snipers

[obtuse storm]

Because they don't require skill

[crystal iron]

Why you are not complaining? Ask yourself

[zinc glen]

snipers take skills

[white osprey]

exactly

[obtuse storm]

go practice with the sniper

[limber karma]

I don't want to use it.

[white osprey]

well then dont

[limber karma]

Okay, then I lose

[crystal iron]

Don’t use it then

[smoky wave]

Then learn how to deal with them

[white osprey]

learn to deal with said snipers

[limber karma]

I've made the attempt. I've tried baiting out shots

[white osprey]

they usually have counter-weapons

[limber karma]

I've attempted to keep my distance and wait for a moment to go forward

[smoky wave]

So you give up

[limber karma]

I've attempted to sneak. I've attempted to run.

Usually is a key word here.

[white osprey]

distance is a snipers greatest advantage

[limber karma]

Okay, and guess what? I've faced snipers who still do amazing up close cause as long as they keep their cool

They can two shot you. And if they're really good, they can no scope one shot

[white osprey]

theyre losers, but yeah.

[smoky wave]

Did you tried to shoot them

[limber karma]

Yes

I did. The best outcome I got was they couldn't scope

[obtuse storm]

yes. that's called skill

[white osprey]

yeah,exactly. use their inability to scope to your advantage

[limber karma]

Oh. So when they suck with literally every other weapon in the game, even the most basic ones

They're skilled.

[zinc glen]

then you have to rise to their level not demand they come down to yours

[obtuse storm]

Yes

[white osprey]

yup

[limber karma]

That is stupid.

[zinc glen]

no its not

[obtuse storm]

If you're not as skilled as them

[limber karma]

I mean, how can you not aim with a friggen pistol.

[obtuse storm]

You die

[crystal iron]

No

[obtuse storm]

the game is not going to hold your hand

[limber karma]

Okay, and if they die to me when it's up close with pistol and assault rifle?

And they had absolutely no chance?

[obtuse storm]

AR wins

[crystal iron]

Every multiplayer game looks like that. Better player wins

[obtuse storm]

if they have more precision? pistol wins

simple

[white osprey]

again, accommodations for the sniper are different than those of a regular close range rifle

[limber karma]

That's the issue. They will use AR and Pistol and SUCK with them

They will miss almost EVERY shot and spam as if they've never used the weapon before.

[obtuse storm]

some people are better than others. it's nothing new.

[limber karma]

I've seen it happen multiple times

[zinc glen]

everyone is good and bad at different things

its how the world works

[obtuse storm]

I know people that can trickshot the hell out of snipers and can't use an AR or even a BR to save their lives

[limber karma]

Sure...

I think I'm good on this conversation.

[zinc glen]

they just so happen to be good at sniping

[obtuse storm]

That is called skill differences.

[limber karma]

Cause it's just, what's the point?

[obtuse storm]

some people will be good with the whole sandbox, others will be good with a couple of weapons.

[zinc glen]

either improve or don't play mp

[limber karma]

I either stop enjoying the game to win or lose by playing what I like doing.

[smoky wave]

Well you are literally dying to snipers that are easier to deal with them, so is not like you are in the position to talk who is good with the weapon or not

[obtuse storm]

Would you complain about people being good with snipers in literally any other game? CSGO for example. people who snipe in that game are usually insane

[limber karma]

Yeah. Kind of. They're annoying in almost every game.

[obtuse storm]

you have no chance against them, so what. they're better than you.

Then stop complaining and move on, or work to be better

[limber karma]

I don't think you see my issue here.

[obtuse storm]

I see it. I'm saying it's not the game's fault.

[zinc glen]

what is the issue then?

[crystal iron]

Good question

[smoky wave]

https://tenor.com/view/simply-a-difference-skill-simply-a-difference-in-skill-gif-21335337

[white osprey]

map knowledge gives you advantage over others, sniper or not. they have said map knowledge, apparently more than you, which leaves a gap between your skill and theirs.

[limber karma]

It is legitimately not fun. And it's insulting that people who can't even master the most basic weapons are doing well just cause of one weapon. SO much so, that they top the leaderboard EVERY time.

[zinc glen]

good for them

[smoky wave]

Well, it is what it is

[zinc glen]

they mastered that weapon and focused on it

[limber karma]

I would rather see more diversity in this game. People use to pick up the shotgun, the needler, ANYTHING else.

[obtuse storm]

diversity isn't going to save you from a good sniper lmao

Go to any other halo and tell me it will.

[limber karma]

Thank you. You just told me I no longer will have fun with this game.

[zinc glen]

then improve

[white osprey]

you need to learn to play against them

[crystal iron]

People can be good with some weapons and bad with other weapons. One person will only get kills with sniper, another will just run around the map with AR and kill everyone.

[zinc glen]

or just don't play

[obtuse storm]

I don't think you'd have fun with any multiplayer shooter. You either have to improve and learn how to counter or move on.

[smoky wave]

This game has a lot of tools to deal in a lot situations
You are just bad to deal them

[limber karma]

And if said weapon is changing the game?

[white osprey]

not expect them to accomodate their games and play to you

[limber karma]

Ugh...

[obtuse storm]

That's called "power weapons"

the team that controls power weapons dominates the game.

[smoky wave]

The sniper is not going to change lol, it's fine right now

[zinc glen]

that is what *power * weapons do

[limber karma]

It's like when people said in Guilty Gear Strive "Durrr, Happy Chaos isn't overpowered." and the guy wins EVO by pressing 1 button over and over again

[obtuse storm]

a power weapon can bring a team from the brink of failure to victory, if they know how to use it.

[crystal iron]

Don’t understand the reference

[obtuse storm]

It's a bad one

That's why

[limber karma]

Yeah, well all I can understand is this. If I want to win, I have to learn to snipe.

[smoky wave]

Literally different types of games too

[limber karma]

I don't want to do that.

[obtuse storm]

Fighting game tech and shooters are not the same style of competitive

[limber karma]

I came on here cause I'm running out of games to enjoy.

[zinc glen]

deserve to be shot in the head by a rebel leader

[obtuse storm]

learning a sandbox vs learning a move kit.

[crystal iron]

You don’t have to learn how to snipe. Everyone explained it to you already

[limber karma]

Sure I don't.

[white osprey]

you dont. you have to learn to counter them

[limber karma]

Yeah. And you told me earlier Isaac, to counter them, snipe

[white osprey]

you missed my point

[limber karma]

Okay, so show me how YOU counter them

[white osprey]

map knowledge

[limber karma]

If you wish, you can DM me.

[coarse dagger]

I can't snipe at all, but there are other ways I can be useful to help my team win games. Getting assists, running with flag runners, marking enemies

[limber karma]

Show me a video. A clip. Something

[crystal iron]

😐

[white osprey]

cutting off their LOS of you

[zinc glen]

your name is so ironic

[limber karma]

Thank you

[zinc glen]

💀

[white osprey]

you can also exploit them being far away, since they cant access objectives as easily

[zinc glen]

or depending on map hide in a building or ambush them

[white osprey]

yeah

[zinc glen]

flank them

[white osprey]

snipers are (mostly) weak when youre close to them, unless theyre absolutely cracked

[zinc glen]

or run in a unpredictable way

[crystal iron]

There are many ways to counter snipers

[white osprey]

strafing helps

im p sure snipers are one of the easiest to counter

if you do it right

[zinc glen]

in which case yeah its annoying but that takes skill to reach that point

[crystal iron]

Sniper isn’t an enemy impossible to defeat

[white osprey]

you could also make note of their, so called, blind spots. if nobody is covering them, which happens pretty often, theyre weak

[limber karma]

It's not impossible, just improbable you will.

[zinc glen]

or coordinate with your team to stop them

[white osprey]

yeah

[limber karma]

And you act like cutting off their line of sight is some kind of easy process. If a map has a lot for you to see of them and you take any route you might THINK they can't see you, you're generally wrong cause Halo maps are usually designed to be more open ended from one side to another

Sure, you have cover. but for how long?

[zinc glen]

it is if your fast

[limber karma]

Are you just gonna sit there and turtle?

[zinc glen]

that is up to you

[limber karma]

God, that's boring...

[crystal iron]

POWER weapon

[limber karma]

I don't care if you keep saying POWER weapon. I'd rather deal with S7 than a rocket or cindershot.

[white osprey]

they could hard scope if they know youre there, which sucks, but dont make yourself easily readable

[obtuse storm]

then why are you complaining about snipers?

[limber karma]

Both of them are power weapons. Both of them have less ammo. Both of them can potentially kill you too.

[low musk]

Just gotta get 10 power weapon kills and I have the weekly

[smoky wave]

Lmao

Then why are you complaining about it

[zinc glen]

perfect timing

[white osprey]

why would you complain then?

[limber karma]

Cause 2 snipers usually spawn on a map and cause Snipers are generally WAYYYYYY more powerful.

[crystal iron]

Wtf

[smoky wave]

Shoot them

[white osprey]

you have a gun, shoot them

[smoky wave]

They can't scope anymore

[zinc glen]

don't die then kill them

[signal ivy]

[white osprey]

or camp spawns

[low musk]

Yeah, I just did all 10 of the challenges in the last few hours. I just flew back in from Maine, so I'm both tired and frantically getting challenges xD

[limber karma]

If I see a person doing well with a Spanker, it's not like they suck with every other weapon too.

[smoky wave]

Don't go to most probable places they expect the enemy too

[limber karma]

The sniper is the ONLY time I see that crap

[zinc glen]

because they put the effort to learn

[white osprey]

makes you even worse than the snipers tho tbh

[limber karma]

Good for them. So other weapons don't have a learning curve

[crystal iron]

I don’t understand his point to be honest

[limber karma]

Got it. I'll keep that in mind

[white osprey]

frontline weapons generally take less skill

[obtuse storm]

At this point the argument is cyclical.

[smoky wave]

This is insane lmao

[white osprey]

fr

[crystal iron]

Yeah

[zinc glen]

we keep repeating and repeating

[smoky wave]

At this point I would call it and say skill issue, play better

[white osprey]

it is one

[obtuse storm]

Just move on at this point. It's a skill issue. Learn to deal with it, improve, or avoid it entirely.

[zinc glen]

the definition of insanity

[crystal iron]

This is the way

[low musk]

I'm generally garbage at this game. There was a time I used to be decent at halo in general. Not great, but not cruddy either. In this game, I feel very outclassed in most instances

[zinc glen]

same mate same

[limber karma]

I didn't know skill determined something's power

Got it. So if something requires skill, it's not overpowered. Understood

[white osprey]

did you not listen?

[obtuse storm]

So, the sniper has one of the lowest magnetisms of any weapon in the sandbox, it does indeed take skill.

[crystal iron]

Skill determines everything in multiplayer shooter

[obtuse storm]

Otherwise you miss your shots.

A rocket, cindershot, or other AOE weapon has a larger radius of damage and explosion detection

It takes more skill to use a sniper. Plain and simple. to put it bluntly: Get over it or git gud.

This discussion's over.

[crystal iron]

Sniper is not overpowered because it is supposed to be 1-2 shot kill weapon. It’s like that in every halo game and almost every shooter in general

[low musk]

I'd worry more about the method that matchmaking works over the 'skill' issue

[obtuse storm]

I'm actually able to counter snipers.

[crystal iron]

Someone got angry lol

[zinc glen]

lol

[white osprey]

failed to mention, im speaking as said sniper. thats why i know so much lol

[crystal iron]

Same

[obtuse storm]

Like, really. It's been going over and over now.

Just move on please.

[coarse dagger]

Now we definitely done

[low musk]

I can counter sniper pretty decently, just reposition, or use other sides of cover. Now aiming is a bit on the iffy side

[zinc glen]

I'm crap at PvP so I tend to stick to PvE modes

[low musk]

Firefight when? lol

[white osprey]

dont snipers have an animation that you can track? loser move but it gets the job done

[white osprey]

PvE modes are the way to go

[zinc glen]

good man

[low musk]

Hopefully PVE modes will make its way in at some point

[white osprey]

i, personally, prefer the lack of human communication and toxicity

[zinc glen]

same

[zinc glen]

hopefully

[white osprey]

it also helps me get better

[crystal iron]

It’s sad that many players are so toxic. It’s hard to find normal people to play with

[white osprey]

seriously

ive had so little chill matches its insane

[left snow]

I've got nothing but respect for a skilled sniper. The magic they can weave. It can turn a game.

Personally I couldn't hit a barn door with a dozen warthog's.

[white osprey]

you can also practice tracking before that, just following your target ups the accuracy by a lot

[zinc glen]

they can be annoying to deal with but I still respect them

[crystal iron]

Yeah

[white osprey]

there are also, oftentimes, good and bad aim days where you either hit every single headshot or cant even hit a body shot

[crystal iron]

True

[white osprey]

bad aim days are... not favourable, imo

since you can either log off, or spend millennia staring at the training bots

wondering whats wrong with you today

and it, usually, doesnt even "fix" itself, so just log off and play something else

dont dwell on it

i mean, i could go on, but i'd probably talk your ear off

[low musk]

Warthogs feel very inaccurate in this game. I could keep my reticle on a target, even at close range, but they can always seem to kill me just as fast

Its like the game actively wants you to miss with vehicle weapons, where as before, a good gunner could keep an area locked down. Kinda sucks that vehicles are definitely not at its best

Just need 3 more power weapon kills and I got this

Kinda slow period to find games

[crystal iron]

I hate random things

[zinc glen]

Kyrgyzstan

[left snow]

Just had a great custom session with mates. A bit of BTB and then into customs. Spicy Sumo Bowl. Digletts. Snipers. And to finish off - shotguns on Beaver Creek (thanks, Uneeq).

[low musk]

Just finished the weekly capstone, so I'm spared from the FOMO xD

[full warren]

Has 343 removed the ability to see the team average csr or mmr at the end of the game?

I swear you used to be able to see it, and there will be a average mmr or csr score if you look next to teams

but that seems to be gone?

[low musk]

New engine means old features have to be built from the ground up, old assets and interfaces being defunct is sadly the result

[full warren]

Are you replying to me or someone else?

Halo infinite has not changed. nor has the csr system I do not think

[magic night]

I think that was only in Ranked matches' post game reports

Haven't played Ranked in a while, so no clue if its changed

[full warren]

ah could be, that would make sense

[zinc hedge]

anyone got any tips for getting past the spawn room on gravemind in h2 on legendary?

[magic night]

Been close to a decade since I last tried that, so I barely remember, but those doors that enemies come out of have decently long hallways you can use as cover to regen your shields.

[north stag]

I don’t but I just watched a video analyzing the level and talking about it being one of the hardest parts of the mission

[tardy turtle]

Oh man, big prayers... If you can, jump up into the Counselors seats, and use the cover there. That was the WORST spawn in the whole game

[magic night]

That too. Counselors seats should get you better range weapons from the Brutes up there.

[zinc hedge]

exactly tho

[bleak nymph]

The "pro strat" is to get inside one of the small doorways on the side of the room, which prevents some enemies from spawning altogether.

But for a more casual player getting on top of the councilor stands gives you the best cover, and only one set of enemies spawn there.

The Carbine and Needler are going to be real friendly for a lot of the mission. Needles are extremely effective for Brutes, and Carbines for most other enemies.

[tardy turtle]

Everything after that was just the normal infuriation, but that spawn room...

[empty rapids]

i'd give a whole two fitty to get allies with braincells

[karmic oriole]

[empty rapids]

lol if that made yall mad yall weak

[ancient sun]

it was an incorrect statement...

When the game expected you to have 10 deaths, and you only had 8, it would say 'underperformed' because they incorrectly tied 'getting a lower than expected stat' to the message of 'underperforming'

It didn't make me mad that I was potentially 'underperforming' and being called out.
It made me mad because it was poor design and an incorrect statement.

[empty rapids]

underperforming in dying is a good thing

thats not something you want to overperform at lol

[ancient sun]

it was a poorly worded statement.

It should've said "less than expected"

[empty rapids]

🤷

[ancient sun]

either way, it's gone now

[empty rapids]

it was fine

[ancient sun]

'below expected' leaves no room for misinterpretation.

[misty vale]

have you been on halo reddit? Fans of this game exist in a black hole of misery so of course they complain that it didn't mean what it read as.

[glossy carbon]

correction: Video game fans

[magic night]

Correction: fans

Fans of anything

[glossy carbon]

yes

[empty rapids]

i know

[empty rapids]

is that what it got changed to?

i straight up remember kids getting clowned on for having a -kda back in the golden days when ever kid and their mom had a kinect, IE microphone lol

[empty rapids]

halo fans are exceptionally whiny though

[glossy carbon]

indeed

i keep getting recommended tweets about this person hating everything about halo even though i keep telling the platform not to recommend anymore

its such terrible takes too

[ancient sun]

no, but they should've

I think they just removed any wording for the deaths at all

[empty rapids]

Even if they changed it, people would have complained too lol

[misty vale]

that person paid Elon cash on the nail so that you'd have to read their whines

[empty rapids]

you can't please this community 🤷

[ancient sun]

people will always complain, but if they changed it to something that made universal sense - it would be less people complaining.

[empty rapids]

you don't want to excell at dying, you want to suck at it, it made sense to me lol

[misty vale]

It is my experience with Infinite that there will be no reduction in complaining

[smoky wave]

The underperforming part didn't makes sense to begin with

[ancient sun]

I'm happy for you. You are in the minority.

'below expected' leaves 0 room for misinterpretation.

[smoky wave]

In some matches I died like 1 or 2 and told me exactly that

[ancient sun]

@smoky wave this is what the stat was 'trying' to say

it was just such a backwards way of putting it

it was kinda like a double negative

unnecessary

and unclear

[smoky wave]

There is also the argument of kinda feeling bad for some people, other than that it is basically worthless that stat

[empty rapids]

lol get good

if you suck in a competitive shooter, you should know it

[ancient sun]

Waypoint tracks your expected kills kills and expected deaths for each match, @smoky wave
This was just trying to show it in-game.
It was not worthless, just poorly framed

[smoky wave]

Meh, feels that way honestly

[empty rapids]

people are so sensetive now that you can't even have the thank system from OW1

[ancient sun]

there's probably plenty of data and stats that might be worthless to you, and that's totally fine.

[smoky wave]

Fair enough

[empty rapids]

idk maybe my view is old fashioned lol

i like having the stats that exist in infinite, in a lot of newer games they just outright hide them

[smoky wave]

In most games those stats is provided by third parties using the API of the games
So it's kinda like whatever to not put all and just show the most important stats

Some with more details in-game if you want

Improved stability when navigating Customization menus on PC.
Oh cool finally

[low musk]

Is the game not working atm for anybody else?

[signal ivy]

did you update?

[low musk]

No update seems to be showing up

Maybe its just slow to dole it out for the moment

[shadow turret]

What do you boot the game off of? Xbox, Steam, or the Microsoft store?

[low musk]

XBSX

[shadow turret]

I'm not too sure when the update will drop for that, I run it off Steam

[low musk]

I'll just restart the Xbox and see if that helps

[shadow turret]

Yea, idk if it will, but its a good try

[low musk]

Ah, there it is

[shadow turret]

There ya go

[devout kite]

Why haven’t 343 removed infection from the popular mode file

[crystal iron]

I don't think pc is ever going to get a performance/optimization patch

[celest heron]

so many knives on armor, but we can't use them.

😐

[fallen flame]

it needs it badly though

[crystal iron]

so far there's only been stability fixes

[ancient sun]

would be super cool if we had assassinations, and they used our armor knives

[uneven bison]

I’ve heard people say assassinations are hard to implement, is that true?

[lime robin]

Animation is always hard and Halo 5 set the bar pretty high on that regard, but there was a complaint about being able to turn them off disrupted the flow of the game, something like that.

Basically some people don't want them because it'd make them an easy target and there can be accidents where they just wanted the backsmack but went for an assasination

[uneven bison]

That’s what I was saying too. An animation like that isn’t easy

[fallen flame]

most people had them off anyway

[uneven bison]

Sure it’s doable, but to have a ton of different ones you could do like halo 5? That takes effort

[celest heron]

thinking of new ones would be a challenge

[uneven bison]

I was thinking about maybe kind of taking a page out of doom and doing more glory kills kinda thing in campaign

Probably only for higher level enemies

[fallen flame]

i think they should skip assassinations for infinite

[uneven bison]

Maybe. I truthfully don’t care, I just find them satisfying to pull off.

[fallen flame]

Problem is if you add those your gonna have more useless stuff get added to the BP

[uneven bison]

Well they would be better than nameplate emblems that nobody looks at

[magic night]

I'm all for having flashier teabags back

[fallen flame]

Problem with the S3 BP its cluttered like crazy with same items

[uneven bison]

I just want bulkier shoulder pads for the Mark 7. Like security or commando bulky

Deming doesn’t really cut it for me

Or they make shoulder pads cross core like visors. Probably not though

[fallen flame]

cross-core is looking rather slim i would love to have it especially helmets but i just don't think its gonna happen personally if it does great i will be a happy man haha

[ancient sun]

With the forums being decommissioned in just a few days, I thought I'd share this thread about the loss of Spartan Companies.
Many people actually really loved building their own community around Halo 5, and as you can see in the thread, people were sad to see them gutted.

Forums going away, while understandable from a maintenance/usage standpoint, is just as sad.
https://forums.halowaypoint.com/t/the-end-of-spartan-companies/107766/19

[tardy turtle]

Well, I mean there is the clan corner here

[glass spade]

Is halo infinite campaign good?

I heard it was pretty big and there’s a lot more bosses but I wanna ask if it’s worth a try

Rn I’m playing through Spartan Ops and 5 cause I wanna finish those beforehand

[magic night]

I enjoyed it

[glass spade]

I played it until I killed Tremonius and I did like what I played

But I wanna save the rest for after I’m done the previous games

[magic night]

That sounds good. I always prefer to do things in release order.

[glass spade]

Yeah, first halo game for me was actually halo 3 but I somewhat recently got the MCC and decided to play em in order

[mental trench]

Anyone know why I can’t find ranked matches?

[signal ivy]

where is the last place you put them?

[grave ether]

Where was the last place you left them?

Nice xD

[ancient sun]

oh hey, I just noticed this

[smoky geyser]

how big is halo infinite on pc

[ancient sun]

it is my favorite 343 campaign.
Not as compelling to roam the open world after you've finished the main story as I would've wanted, but otherwise great!

[smoky geyser]

halo 5 was a nightmare

the trend i seem to notice is that

halo 4 had a good campaign and multiplayer
halo 5 only had good multiplayer
halo infinite had a solid campaign but multiplayer took a while

[ancient sun]

halo 4 had a good multiplayer?

I guess if you liked it, that's cool

[smoky geyser]

i think it did, havent played it in years tho

[analog salmon]

personally i just think Halo 4 had an okay story and that's really it. I would much rather replay Halo 5's campaign cus it's actually fun lol.

and i say this as someone who first played 5 in like 2018 and has barely touched the MP

i dont really get the whole "4 had a good campaign, 5's is terrible" takes

[smoky geyser]

im so lost on what the actual game size of halo infinite is

im not sure if its 44gb or 81gb

[smoky geyser]

honestly with halo 4 they couldve done the didact better

[analog salmon]

depends on your platform, campaign, and textures

[smoky geyser]

like ur telling me a grenade took him down/?

[limber fox]

did the settings reset bug got fixed with this patch?

[smoky geyser]

pc

[analog salmon]

81 sounds like base+campaign+high quality textures

[smoky geyser]

yeah i just want that , not the multiplayer

[analog salmon]

MP is included in the base

[smoky geyser]

i thought u were able to play these seperately from each other

[analog salmon]

you can't uninstall the MP

[smoky geyser]

but didnt 343 offer the campaign and the multiplayer as 2 seperate games on pc

[analog salmon]

nope

[signal ivy]

campaign is the DLC for MP

[smoky geyser]

ah

[analog salmon]

probably intentional to get everyone to try out the MP

[smoky geyser]

problem is that i doubt my system can manage the multiplayer lol

[analog salmon]

far more likely it cant handle campaign

MP is playable on quite a lot of systems

campaign meanwhile is very GPU and CPU hungry

[smoky geyser]

i think my ryzen 5 3500u with vega 8 graphics should be able to manage at 720p with some settings changed

[analog salmon]

assuming you have no thermal constraints yeah

campaign is just kinda unreasonably resource hungry

mostly on GPU I would say, so downing the resolution should be okay. It's not easy on CPU but its an open world game so kinda expected

[signal ivy]

isn't vega 8 integrated gpu? I don't think Infinite supports that

[analog salmon]

oh yeah the game is now blacklisting unsupported hardware lol

i have a mate who played on vega 8 but not recently

[smoky geyser]

wth is going on at 343

[smoky geyser]

i mean ill give it a shot, if it doesnt work i still have mcc to go to

[analog salmon]

probably a kneejerk response to crashes on lower end hardware

[smoky geyser]

just offer an option to continue or close the game

[lime robin]

Not necessarily, some AMD integrated graphics can run the gamebarely. It's Intel that's the weak one.

[strange estuary]

good question

[analog salmon]

i mean a 1060 3GB could run the game fine but it got blacklisted with Season 3

[lime robin]

Crashing means there's been an error and the game can no longer continue, the program can't give you that option

[smoky geyser]

i just stopped caring about it like mid july

[strange estuary]

reject infinite, return to odst firefight

[analog salmon]

cant say for sure but it does seem like they have just made the game not launch with less then 4GB vram

[smoky geyser]

yeah i specifically wanted an amd system since i couldnt shell out the cash for one with dedicated graphics

[signal ivy]

I'm not saying it won't run it. I was just saying it's not supported

[lime robin]

I think it was always marked as not compatible in the hardware list, but the program will run regardless. This is no longer the case, they probably changed something regarding how VRAM is handled like in season 2.

[strange estuary]

reject infinite, return to odst firefight

[analog salmon]

possibly. I could try with my laptop's 4GB 1050 to see if its vram, since that's unsupported but does have enough vram

[smoky geyser]

how long ago was the change madde

[analog salmon]

S3

[smoky geyser]

how many months ago was it? havent kept up with anything halo

[signal ivy]

Season 3 was released on March 7th

[lime robin]

!s3

Alr, that doesn't work anymore

[lime robin]

wtfno

[sullen kiln]

Season 4 launches on <t:1687284000:F> which is <t:1687284000:R>

[lime robin]

I have a friend who has a 1050 3 GB and can't run it, but he claims a friend of his with a 1050 2 GB can run it. Honestly I don't know if I'll believe him anymore.
