damn sounds fun and easy
wtf halo online is still playable, didn't know that
No, it was shut down years ago. Any unnofficial versions of the cancelled beta can't be discussed here
oh
No
Im hoping itll come back later, I think it was a little short sighted to have made it that way
also just completed the Fracture Pass
not too interested in the core, but its a reason to play
I do wish the fractures had a dedicated mode that fit the aesthetic of the fracture
Agree
was for sure underwhelmed when Yoroi came with Fiesta, but not mad at all we got fiesta so quickly too
I'm just glad they no longer limit the event challenges to the mode
or limit event challenges for that matter
vehicle coating are my favourite free ones
I don't use coatings
What custom game modes / maps have y’all been enjoying lately?
speaking of which, is there a way to play Halo MCC multiplayer with just bots in a custom match? is there a mod on steam workshop for it?
Can someone explain to me how I got 5 CSR for going 15-4 in slayer, while in another game where I went 25-9 (and got 15 CSR) my teammate gets 8 CSR while going 9-13 with 1 assist?
there's server side bots but they are absolutely useless. they just straight line towards you
its kinda wild the jank stuff you find in the CGB
stuff that will tank a Series X to 10fps
nah just experimenting with them
i know it was found in the game files so i figured someone wouldve made a mod using it
honestly i dont think it would be a wise use of their resources
unless they can somehow backport Infinite's bots with too much difficulty
yea but im hella bored of infinite
you could probably replicate any halo game in infinite customs near enough
like given how many map remakes and how powerful the scripting is
im playing MCC multiplayer now because activision shut down xlabs
there isn't a universal payout with CSR and there are different factors that play into what you get like the MMR of both teams, how many kills you got over time and what the system expected of you in that game are a few examples.
Makes no sense. There should be no instance where someone going negative gets more CSR than someone with a 3.0+ kda
probly because you played as expected and the negative player did better than expected. If you're doing 25+, it's very likely that your opponents were below your skill level so it's not going to reward you for that with a lot of CSR.
It's possible they earned more points through other things to make up for that gap. Maybe they went negative but like Lukepowa mentioned did better than expected, but also may have played the point/objective highly well along with may have gotten a lot of assistance points. I'm not completely sure how all of it is weighted and it does seem like someone that went negative shouldn't have gained points. But if them going negative still helped bring their team to a win then that's what really matters
If only we could verify your claims of this. But for some reason peanutpckrupper has locked down their profile and stats to private so we can't see their matches and claims
My profile isn't private, I followed the steps on halotracker to fix that and it doesn't work
You have it set to private in game so halo doesn't share data
The guy that went 9-13 got 8 CSR for that match
My match history settings are both set to share as well, my halotracker profile went private with the launch of season 3 and I don't know why
Your CSR change at the end of the game depends on;
- Who you beat (more for an upset).
- Your MMR. Your CSR is always trying to match your MMR. So if your MMR > CSR you'll gain more points and if your MMR < CSR you won't get as much.
- Personal performance - which is likely to be based around KPM and DPM.
The main point is MMR. Not only is this the strongest affect on your CSR - it will be different for every player. Hence the different amounts of CSR being handed out to each player.
I sure wish I could see what my MMR was. Team MMR that you can see at the end of a match seems to swing between 750 and 1200
It's not just halo tracker, but also waypoint. So you must have the in game settings set to private and not sharing.
It does. Because KDA isn't a metric. But in this case their low KPM may negatively affect their MMR. But if their MMR is above their CSR (ie. they have been playing well recently) then they are likely to get a good CSR score in this game.
But if their MMR has dropped they will struggle to earn CSR points in their next game. It kind of lags a game behind.
peanut whats ur rank
But looking at this match everyone there is around gold 3/4. So if you're higher than that, that explains why you got less CSR
Gold 4
alright that's kinda borked
all i can think is that guy's MMR is higher and the game is giving him CSR to correct his CSR regardless of his in game perforamance
It would be great. Not so much at the end of the game. But definitely over time. A plot of MMR vs CSR would awesome. Plus, by taking the "mystery" out of it people can relax and work with the system instead of being suspicious of it.
And while we are at it. A plot of KPM vs opponent skill would be a fantastic self-evaluation tool.
Definitely. The MMR is probably the biggest factor in CSR change.
343's biggest ranking mistake was making the CSR the same scale as the MMR. 1 to 1800+ just doesn't have the precision.
People are losing their minds over a handful of points that really don't matter.
you can probs boost ur MMR by playing a social mode that attracts more casual players, then going back to ranked
was gonna mention the mmr/csr thing when I came back since I stepped away, but the convo has gained traction, lol.
They need to reduce the scale. Not all the way back to 1-50 (that wouldn't work). But 1-100 would be nice. Or even better 1-117.
And people can then relax and let their rank evolve over a couple of days or weeks. Like it should.
I'm just irritated that there's this shadow system in place that makes it seem like what I do doesn't exactly matter in ranked.
It's not a "shadow". If you are playing consistently your MMR and CSR will be pretty much the same.
and just focus on getting loads of kills regardless of deaths in all modes
go into social and just slay as hard as you possibly can for a week straight and then watch ur CSR gains go up in ranked
But by leaving the MMR to be a bit more volatile (a wider curve) - your MMR can react to form swings and help the match maker. But while you would love the upswings - you'd hate the down ones (you can drop 150 MMR in a day). So the CSR acts to smooth it all out (max 15 point change per game).
This shouldn't work that well. Yes, you'll buff your global MMR. But that shouldn't affect a mature MMR offset like your ranked one very much. And any buff you give to your MMR will be quickly offset by your worse performance in those games vs tougher opposition. It should only take 1 or 2 bad games to bring your MMR back to where it should be.
what you do matters, but it's not going to be instant. If you're a little better than the rank tier you're in, you'll eventually move up, but it takes time.
And yep. Kills are good. Or rather KPM is good. But remember it's only a weighting. Wins are far more important to your rank. It would only one loss at the expense of going for more kills to undo your good work. First priority should be the win. A couple of extra kills here or there is just a bonus.
it just depends whether your underranked or not
if your underranked its a way to climb up, if your not its just gonna make you have a bad time in ranked
you play better with better team mates so its very possible to be stuck at a lower rank and struggle to reach a rank where you're very able to be competitive
i've seen low rank players performing well better then their rank would suggest
Good point.
I think some players get caught in a patch of rank debt. There are a lot of players who jump on each season and get their rank then check out until next season. This can leave patches of rank debt in the population - mainly around the middle of each division.
If you're just below this patch then the MM doesn't have the players just above you for you to play and rank up. You end up having to take players on the next bit above. And they may be a gap too far.
You can still watch the Season 3 cinematic and the last S3 event cinematic & this one, but that's it.
If you want to rank up.
- Keep winning.
- Get your KPM up (exceed the expected kills).
- Communicate and/or squad up.
- Don't live somewhere that has 250+ms pings. 😦
but at 250ms ping think of the peakers advantage you have
and you'll be killing everyone when they think they've made it behind a wall
Sadly outweighed by never being able to trade in a gun fight. Last headshot never registers.
Don't ever try to melee.
And if you see a sniper rifle sitting on the ground. Just keep walking.
Down to play sometime
"Don't ever try to melee" is a rule i follow even at 20ms
every dang time i break this rule i regret it
?
of course sometimes you have no choice but in general if i can avoid a melee i will
asking some random person to play with you probs aint gonna work
You seem legit
You can always say no
im good
Nice
I really hope we get a MP level set on Reach. There's concepts by Josh Kao that look really similar to Isaac Hannaford work for Reach
the game never really quite captured Hannaford's impression of Reach I don't think
I want a dark gritty rainy map for infinite
on reach? xd
few other photos here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/4Xaox8
captioned "Very early explorations for Halo Infinite", so maybe they were considering returning to Reach
You know for a reach season at the beginning you would think you have reach maps haha
they should just make every winter season a reach themed season lol
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/vDEAPO 3rd picture is what i was talking about
I can already hear the sort of loathing I'd have.
it would be pretty neat if the MP narrative could feature Reach in some way
oof yeah that's nice
so it must have been considered for a full dev remake i assume
Makes me think the pit map for infinite was originally gonna be a dev made map
but due to the issues at launch it got changed into a forge map
It was likely a strongly considered Forge showcase
I'm pretty sure you could actually replicate all of those aesthetics in Forge near flawlessly.
Do we have rain in forge and like fog lights ?
And what better way to showcase a new mapmaker than a dev-tier remake.
Yes to at least the first.
no way you could do rain or snow like that
doubt it would be convincing
It's a video game. It's almost never convincing enough if you have an argument to pick.
Out of those 4 pictures we got the 4th picture
the safe aesthetic of forge maps works better to me
all the forge maps i've seen that try to come close to dev maps in quality just look off to me
some of the dev maps in this game are just gorgeous and look more convincing then anything I've seen in a Halo game before
Some in 5 pulled it off well.
Halo 5 forge maps looked really out of place though
the human stuff, Bazaar, Street, Recharge are so well done imo
Behemoth is a very decent map tbh
cant know if its a decent map post changes because 343 wont let us play it
I really hate the map rotation stuff
i reckon Behemoth CTF with Bandit starts would be pog
It's not just a "video game" its a lifestyle BRO 😡
Behemoth would be a great as a btb map tbh
Kinda small for that tho
Like the map is still designed for 4v4 with vehicles, is just how the map is made makes it pretty bad
Halo is literally the greatest thing EVER created, how could you disrespect it like that. You must not be a true fan 😤
Its a nice vehicle map though
the interiors in campaign and the MP maps in Infinite are very close to bringing to life the concepts. The outside in campaign just falls apart due to pop-in
there's areas of the ring that look really great though
The more I think about it, the more I realize Halo Infinite's campaign is the MGSV of Halo and I appreciate it more because of that
MGSV did have two different maps though lol so one key difference
Exactly
I just want behemoth back in more playlists
Like i know its in fiesta but like i really miss the map
this is one of my favourite areas of the campaign: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/716394908864217231/1113150004283047986/30-05-2023_17-58-48-o5cka4vy.png
So much dense tree coverage and stuff going on
Yeah that bit is pretty
im not really sure why this "biome" isn't wayy bigger
https://youtu.be/cZwFJClScX0 Sup guys. I hadn't seen this made before, so I decided to make it myself. Sounds pretty cool
No athlon again
the top of the waterfall behind me in this screenshot is also a really interesting setting
kinda makes me think they just ran out of time
I'm now starting to think they have saved this helmet for season 4
every time you ask for it they delay its release another day xd
Who ever does the shop team needs to be looked at or something because its crazy
release order
They just took away heavies. QQ
there's always customs 😄
343 does realize that the settings reset glitch is extremely easy to fix
The cloud syncing this what causing the problem
If it was that easy to fix, it would have been fixed weeks ago
Spoiler: it's not
It's intermittent, not happening to everyone and not hitting telemetry they have added
Just write the fix work, it's that easy
I actually have the perfect tweet for this
Word of the day, again, is ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century): one who loves to give their opinion on matters they know nothing about.
7714
1750
Have they addressed the issue at least?
Yeah it's pretty obvious the cloud save piece is the issue when you can go offline and bypass the problem. I might be remembering wrong but I thought
I saw on twitter it was a file permission issue with the cloud save data
It was a talking point on their last podcast a wee or so ago and has been mentioned by employees multiple times, it's one of if not the highest priority bugs being looked into now
csr is bugged rn i think
dude like really starting to get annoying i get into a match and just crashes everytime
You should ask about that at #1075989764026675210, starting with your specs.
Where do I give 343 feedback that total control should return for Fragmentation and Breaker on BTB?
run Findissue.exe
run Foundissue.exe
run Fixissue.exe
run EZClap.exe
Ah, I was looking for a specific tag named "feedback" in there to use
Any topic can be feedback, just tag it what's closeat to what you want to feed back on
they removed total control from Fragmentation? 😭
honestly as much as i appreciate some map-mode combinations had to go, i feel like they are going too far
if anything Fragmentation was the map for total control
Me fixing bugs at work
Frag is the most balanced of all BTB maps too. Symmetrical besides vehicles drops. The 3 controls in Breaker tunnel was fun chaos.
looks like total control is getting updated then will be back.
why do they have to remove stuff to "update" it
oh nevermind it's stockpile
same with stockpile really, lower the weighting if its unpopular but not really necessary to take it out of rotation if you ask me
some changes might not be possible without removing it
perhaps
It needs a rework for sure. Almost everyone I know hates it.
I'm not a fan of either atm
When will Halo Infinite get a campaign expansion? Lots of untapped potential and mysteries worth exploring…
its a pretty hated mode just like LSS
what is the ultimate?
man wish they'd replace standard btb with btb heavy
I really dont get this game sometimes, we had a player leave like 1 min into a ood ball games and for that round and the next 2 no one joined
we were even winning with 3v4 but then another player left for the last round, and we go no replacements.. I really dont get it, I can be put into a 5-25 slayer game but they wont replace someone who is on a winning team that was in round 1 out of 3 games
Does anyone know when season 4 is coming out for infinite
Season 4 launches on <t:1687284000:F> which is <t:1687284000:R>
Ok
Alright the 3 month season system really is a good incentive to hurry
Season 4 arrives in 3 weeks and I'm just halway through the season pass
I mean the season pass only takes a week to finish, if you play like 3 hours a day, 10 days you will finish it very easily
especially if you do the 500 xp game (first game of the day)
Agreed. The passes don't take long to complete, since they offer a ton of EXP per game now.
Especially for winning, MVP, double exp, etc.
I most definitely don't play everyday
That would make me feel burnout quite quickly
Understandable.
I was not suggesting you play everyday lol, but 10 days in 3 month is not a lot of time lol, maybe just every weekend for 2 month of it, or just 1 game a day will probably finish the battle pass, since its 500 bonus + the xp you get in game
literally 1 level a game not count the missions you complete per game you can easily get like 1.5k xp a game if its the first game of the day lol
There is like not big rush to complete it mostly because those passes are always there so it's nice
Honestly if you get on to do just the weekly challenges each week, you'll finish the BP in no time.
You can max the BP within 2 days easily by just doing bot bootcamp
4️⃣ new community-made Forge maps are now available in the brand-new Community Doubles playlist!
#HaloEchoesWithin
Nice new maps but it's on doubles so 😴
But it's nice that they adding more forge community maps
seems like every week Infinite has new issues with it. Now Stockpile has been re-added cause of something found. 
So the skewer and s7 are not one shot kills in super fiesta? Is that correct?
sniper has never been a osk unless it's a head shot.
quick question but why is mmr a thing??
like i really never understood its purpose
other than killing the night
it's a more advanced way to get balanced matches.
literally how though? it makes matches one sided??
It doesn't.
Your MMR is your TrueSkill2 rating. It's the best representation of your current skill / form.
the hidden mmr doesnt pair you up with bad teammates against hcs pros?
That's subjective.
The teams are divided on MMR. Whether you gel with those team mates or not relies a bit on luck.
if you want to read about it.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2018/03/trueskill2.pdf
but its a running pattern i have been noticing with my matches. The more games i play, the more progressivly worser my team gets and the more one sided the matches get
And in the case of "HCS pros" - I guess sometimes matches may end up being one sided - but just because the Matchmaker had no choice but to create a one sided match.
I know. I’m talking about super fiesta. I’m not getting kills for headshots
The only running pattern should be playing into some form, raising your MMR, and then getting tougher matches.
But that's what you want from a ranking system.
It's up to you to then win those tougher matches to prove you deserve to rank up.
Same principle in Social. You play better. You deserve to play better opponents.
but i just shut my brain off and play halo? not be the best of the best every single match?
mmr is more loose in social so you're going to get a wider variety of skill in your games.
which doesn't always favor you
But if you are stressing over the result, the quality of the opposition, and the performance of your team-mates - that's not "shutting your brain off".
it still sucks being pummled to the ground over and over because game says so
Are you being pummled? Or your team-mates?
all of us collectively
The only thing the game is saying - is here are two even teams. Or at least as even as we can make it from the players available. Go at it.
the one with the bigger reticle is different I think so it may not be a osk.
It’s a easy no scope but kinda takes away the point of a sniper if it can’t osk
I think it’s faster too
Bigger reticule. Faster rate of fire. More ammo. And I have no idea how to use it properly. 😄
I think it's 2x head shots or 4x body shots to kill.
I get heaps of assists with it.
Yeah it just doesn’t make sense. It’s not bad but it’s not a sniper rifle imo
And I skewered someone and they didn’t die. Teammate finished him off and I got assist. The skewer is useless if it takes more than one shot. Reload takes forever. I was fine with normal fiesta. At least it’s consistent
I think the skewer is still one shot. I've gotten them with it.
Yep. The mis-skewer must have been some sort of network error. Although it's super weird if it gave your the assist. It should either be a hit (kill) or a miss.
Yeah that’s what was weird. Never saw that before cuz you can’t get an assist with skewer but I know I hit the guy but no kill. Then the assist popped up. It was in super fiesta
why does the mcc exchange always rotate the same stuff
can never get the items I don't have
When the next game rolls around, I really hope they don't try to make it for both next-gen and previous gen
Next game is likely coming with the next Xbox console, and I'm hoping they don't try to also have it on Series X|S
I feel that 1 serious mistake they made with Infinite
I didn't realize people still blame that as a reason for Infinite being the way it is
It's not a super duper 1, but I do think they should've just focused on it being on Series X|S & PC
But that's a small issue in comparison to the the obvious 1 being how they launced with such little content
Infinite has online co op now right?
I think the gap between the next console and the current gen wouldnt be as bad as current to last gen
But who knows maybe the next xbox can cook my food and time it for me
i haven't bought anything in the shop since the green and gold armor coatings first showed up, but the disruptive measurement weapon coatings are CALLIN MY NAME
im sure you've found your answer by now, but yes, it does
Why are we getting hasmat suits if there’s no flood in infinite?
there's no flood anywhere in the universe after halo 3
however Season 4 will be introducing Infection to matchmaking as part of the multiplayer story so it's thematically appropriate
I expect the core to have lore placing it as part of UNSC strategy to contain the flood if it were to ever reemerge
or since the AI can lock spartan suits, maybe it's a design meant to prevent infected spartans from losing control
The armours being infected by Irratus so this armour presumably protects them from that.
Although, if you read lore, Rakahasa is the anti Created armour meant to be able to resist AI and cyber warfare infection. So yeah, feels a little redundant if this is just an even better version of that.
Remember SPI was shown in a flashback/simulation. So if Irratus does something similar we might see it in proper story context.
Still seems weird because it’s not like he’s unleashing anthrax against people
well it definitely doesn't look like a suit intended for standard combat deployments, it's almost entirely made out of rubber with what looks like a life support system on the chest area
Say Iratus attaches himself to a spartan wearing hazmat, he won't be able to physically control them due to the lack of armor around the joints and in the worst case scenario the dude inside won't have to worry about losing consciousness like dinh
and if 343 ends up going the flood angle, there's already plenty of justification for a spore-proof suit in existing lore
Yeah sure isn’t didn’t Hazop get converted into the anti flood armour
Hazop is a just helmet meant to create oxygen in toxic/radioactive environments, MJOLNIR in general is still vulnerable to flood infection when shields are down
Ah
Actually there is still some flood in universe. We could see it in halo wars 2 campaign dlc for example.
eh true, though their introduction was self-contained and were all wiped out by the end anyway
there's always room for writers to bring back flood from within abstract, forgotten facilities whenever they feel like
by the time of Infinite there's no more flood but thanks to the powers of fanservice it's inevitable they'll return again once someone scans their Amiibo card from the legendary ending 
why tf cant i find any matches on Halo 3 on PC?
ive been trying for 2 days and i could not find a single social or competitive multiplayer match on halo 3
is it because i live in Asia and finding a match with good ping for me is difficult or something?
Halo overall isn’t popular in asia as far as I know so it might be a reason why you can’t find any match
Yea idk why, Halo is a dope franchise
slow to move to PC pretty much
microsoft was still hoping Xbox could take off in Asia or something
Okay crazy idea but hear me out: BTB with bots.
Son of a b**** I'm in
is ranked csr fixed?
#halo-support-news details will be there as soon as it is
Any idea if Raksasa's Morrigan helmet will be aquireable again?
If it was a free event then probably not
🥹
Sorry
Honestly they should add all free event items to a catalog in the store you can purchase with free credits that you get by playing matches
Tbh I'd just purchase it outright.
It's my fav Rakshasa helmet
also the helmet was obviously inspired by the Fred concept art for halo 5 I have as my pfp :3
Nice! It's a shame that the helmet isn't available right now.
Bruh
Guess we stuck with that ugly deafult rakshasha helmet 😞
I wanted to suggest to 343 to add like a difficulty to the bots in Bot bootcamp because I miss the ODST and Spartan difficulty bots
What’s with 343 giving me stupid teammates
They wanted someone to do the daily whining on discord about bad teammates
And your name came up
Cant complain about bad teammates when im the bad teammate 😎
Did anyone else enjoy the temporary BTB heavies mode way more than regular BTB? Came back to the game to try it out and now that it's gone I've lost all interest in playing, old BTB is just so boring in comparison
Why can’t I find the sidekick in btb
I vote to remove the bandit in btb and put it as a wall weapon
And put the sidekick back as the second weapon
I vote to replace side kick with bandit as starting weapon in all modes 😄
Bandit supremacy
shadow why do you prefer sidekick over bandit out of curiosity?
i do think the bandit could do with some small changes
a better reticle for a start would be welcome
Nobody wants the bandit as a secondary weapon because they always drop it so what’s the point of making it a secondary weapon
are you saying you wouldnt swap your side kick or AR if you came across a BR?
I always keep my sidekick
that's because the side kick and AR are very similar in terms of their ideal use
Are you saying in BTB if you were picking up a bulldog, you would drop the bandit over the AR?
I would
why?
Because I'm bad at Halo
fair, in that case they should probs make the bandit easier to use
But also the bandit just isn't satisfying to me
Sidekick's got the range, AR has the burst, bandit has neither. I do like the sound, though.
Or they can just give use normal btb with the sidekick instead of bandit 24/7
im really confused by the side kick having better range then the bandit
from my experiencec its not even close
the bandit is the clear choice
but i've heard a fair few people saying they find the side kick more effective
I could definitely be wrong but it just feels that way to me. Higher skill floor for the bandit, I guess.
which im pretty sure wasnt intentional by 343
it seems to me like the bandit just needs to be made easier to use. damage wise i think its pretty balanced
maybe they were a bit mean with the aim assist because of the lack of descope
and they'll buff it at some point
i wouldnt mind that just because personally i find bandit starts much more satisfying so i would prefer they made it more appealing to the whole playerbase
Anyone notice the mangler jams in super fiesta. And not occasionally. Like all the time. Can’t miss it
I think the bandit is great just add descope for it and every gun. It's supposed to be that way for the skill gap. Master it and it shreds. It has way better range than the pistol. The pistol has a better ttk. But bandit has little to no bloom and a decent range. Every shot I've had ebmven at 150+ ping connects right.
Not in super fiesta, but i have noticed the mangler has gotten way less consistent w it's fire rate
Idk maybe it's just skill issue on my part
I only noticed the jamming in that game mode. Just curious if anyone else noticed. It wouldn’t be hard to miss. It happens all the time when I try to use it. I just drop it now
I haven't played it recently to comment on it but I've had other guns jam like that in the past. I'd recommend filing a ticket to help get it on their radar. Any clips you have of it happening would be helpful
That’s a good idea. I remember the BR jamming awhile back. They were aware and eventually fixed it
On top of the BR, in the past I've had the skewer and the hammer noticable jam as well. Seems like a bug that likes to travel
I remember the hammer
I did the other night. Had it jam a couple of times. Or at least feel very sluggish to fire. It was only in one game though?
Plus one for the Bandit.
I thought it jammed in SF, but it's just the slower rate of fire on the upgraded one.
embarrassing, me and another player couldn't hit our snipes so we just had to run up and melee each other.
The dance of shame.
I know it well.
and first game of Slayer guy on other team gets first death around 17 kills. sigh
Frustrating. But at least the game was close, 44-50? And it was worse for their team mates. Two of them went 9 & 24 combined.
Talking about bandit, my only suggestion for balancing it is making it's sound effect more in tune with the fire rate. The SFX is super short and it's hard to time the shots correctly. Look at Reach's DMR (or other Infinite weapons) the length of their SFX fairly matches the weapons fire rate
yes, just annoying seeing someone that no one can kill.
in object those kind of players wont win
you cant not die a lot with a high MMR in social objective lol
side note streets is in quickplay
Had a CTF game a few days ago. Bunch of us sorry sad sack solos vs a 4 stack. And the 4 stack was cleary being carried by one player. We weren't communicating much - but every now and then you'd hear "He's dead" - and then everyone would rush the flag. We won comfortably.
these newbies that only try to trade kills to not that bad...
I won a ctf game today by defending the flag against a coordinated, yet ultimately 4/4 awful halo players, and letting my team of lost possible bots cap the flag 3 times.
got 4 of the weeklies knocked out in one game tho
Haha thanks i woke up and saw this
how long does it take to recieve the dr squatch armor coating
Was it a mutual kill? The ultimate bro-down
I don’t think the coating is in until season 4 fwiw
What is this?
The soap coating instructions
What does the Sasquatch armor coating look like?
you're correct it says we won't unlock the coating until season 4
Whole game is redundant tbh
Not all of the Flood were all wiped out, they still exist within High Charity to this very day and HW2's lore makes it very eery that the Gravemind returned, implying the Flood sent a ton of biomass back into High Charity to rebuild the Gravemind. At least that's how I read it based off the audio logs, no idea what 343i's planning to do with this knowledge though.
also yea Flood still exist on multiple Halo rings, and possibly multiple Forerunner installations as well. One such flood outbreak happened on Etran Harborage (now known as Trove).
Also I think in 4 and 5 they mention about Spartan teams being sent to deal with Flood. So it’s possible this IS anti Flood armour but it’s also usable or just available to use against this AI infection.
For me biggest thing I want to know is if Irratus is infecting the armour itself or the Spartans neural link. The vision and Chimera strongly suggests that but obviously he just takes over the armour in the cutscene we see.
Plus, infection could just be more fever dream visions instead of physically overrunning the base.
-
The HAZOP armor utilizes a specialized material that helps protect the user from heightened exposure to radiation that normal Mjolnir suits cannot. HAZOP also employs biothreat filters and corrosion-resistant sealing valves that operate in synchronicity, which is a unique technology to process and manufacture oxygen in highly toxic conditions.
-
HIVEMIND is an armor set intended for use by Spartan personnel assigned to Flood containment operations. It was tested at ANVIL Station, which was considered an ideal testing ground for such equipment.[1][2] Nina Kovan was one of the Spartans who run trials on the armor.
-
All MJOLNIR armors contain biofilters and the likes by default that can filter out Flood atmosphere just fine as far as we know. This has been demonstrated multiple times by Chief utilizing just basick Mark V Gen 1 armor, and Mark VI Gen 1 armor. Anything related to a "hazmat suit" kinda doesn't make any sense because every single MJOLNIR armor to exist is already a hazmat suit.
-
CBRN is also a thing, which is an attachment to MJOLNIR armors that can help filter things out, but afaik it likely isn't as effective as a full body suit like Hazop is otherwise Hazop wouldn't need to exist.
and afaik all Mark VII Gen 3 suits were built by default to have anti-AI measures put in place, starting with Chief's Mark VI Gen 3 armor.
So the "AI infection" done by Iratus has already been done..by Mark VI Gen 3 armor and Mark VII Gen 3 armor.
Point of the matter is, whatever this new Hazmat suit armor thing is, we've already got like 4 alternatives that exist which pretty much do the same thing.
and likely even more then that which I haven't found yet
All that from the guy who thinks CBRN doesn't exist in Halo as anything but the buzzword name of an armor module.
Please FIX JIP'
CBRN armor attachment is a armor attachment no idea what you mean
No one ever said it mysteriously didn't exist in Halo, but the CBRN term is related to a armor attachment in Halo
Only thing I can't seem to unlock in Infinite is the LASO achievement, it's like it's glitched permanently for me. Doing my like 5th playthrough of Infinite on LASO and so far the achievement hasn't progressed at all (this is on the steam version, my 4 other playthroughs were done on the XONE, and Windows versions)
:)
It's funny because sneaking into the blocked messages shows he either doesn't remember or is lying outright.
But I will abide.
yeah i know that
activated the code yesterday at like 2:00pm, still dont have it
It isn't available until season 4 drops
Can I have a Rainbow armor coating?
So what’s the Dr. Sasquatch bundle thingy?
Soap
Yeah but what are the codes for?
secret maybe
is there a possibility of us gettin something pride month related for mcc… or no?
well that answer my question then lol
was hoping for maybe a new one but eh, i guess its something
Can we decrease the respawn time frame from 10 secs to 5 secs or something for multiplayer gameplay? Sometimes it seems long enough for me to grab a beer before coming back in to help my team or fellow player(s).
I can't wait for the morons in the fanbase to cry about evil number company WASTING TIME on a POLITICAL nameplate (they reenabled it, billions of manhours wasted‼️)
1 billions resources on this emblem
Badevilbad should've put more resources into researching the Fix Daesync tech!!
And also build more pylons
I know how game development works they took the programmers off the game to make cookbooks now it's NAMEPLATES 😡
is Halo Infinite dead?
no
ty
nahh they're calling pride month on halo infinite "unity month"
OK?
Yes
Pride is about unity
I know, you don't have to defend the choice of the name
damn the unity month steam post for MCC is getting harassed hard
35 clown awards that go right above the name of the post
oh DAMN, apparently comments are getting deleted, that's why I saw too much positivity but clown reactions on all of them
I really thought there was going to be at least a joke in here about how it's not on the unity engine but slipspace or that they were bringing the unity engine unity to slipspace. But nope. Just pointing out complaints Much disappointment. Moving on
god DANG, the thread of the post is a warzone
Because of outright homophobia and Transphobia, and Steam themselves stepping in to remove comments that violate ToS
yeah not saying the negative posts shouldn't be deleted
the moderator deleting the negative comments is getting harassed hard, dang
lol this post is funny, I can't send screenshots so I'm going to quote it
"Halo fans stop having paper thin skin challenge (LASO)"
Surprising that 343 doesnt block basic slurs in MCCs text chat. Game ends and this guy goes off and I know nothing will ever happen about it 😦
the classic xbox live experience lets goooo!
Yeah pretty much.
yeah but the filter is annoying since it also blocks out words like the F word and stuff
I do report it - I dont just report in game, I also open waypoint tickets. Hopefully it does something.
then that's the risk you run honestly.
it can't be both ways
lol
Kind of the point
Yeah but I feel like anyone over the age of 12 nowadays won't get a seizure from seeing the B word.
So you either get roblox level chat censorship or get to see people calling you a slur.
theres a filter you can turn on/off?
Yes - by default text chat is off in the first place.
how do i turn it off lol
I don't care about slurs so doesn't affect me, but for the people who do, too bad
Players modding their gamertag to be slurs is the bigger problem imo
Looking forward to no longer seeing someone named the N word flying around and cheating lol
As bad as that sounds, it's quite comical. They went through all that work just to do that.
Oh you can mod your gamertag? that's cool af
I mean't the Frick word, not the F slur
Modding your tag isn't allowed and can lead to account bans
oh, you just ruined my christmas
damn, 40 clown awards now on the Unity month post
I think it's too late since you'll be like at the 10th page, and the people giving clown awards have caught on to that strategy
but go for it
For some reason makes me want to ask if people are still mass reporting official Xbox accounts to ruin their reputations lol
Cheaters can accomplish all kinds of things in MCC. Auto complete challenges, change teams mid-game, lock other players ranks, aimbot, fly, modify gametypes/maps in playlists, the list goes on 😦
WTF, lock other players ranks?
Yeah - force you to be a 1 or 2 forever
Damn, that's evil
i saw some dude with the gamertag “Halo” and thought it was some really rare gamertag, until dude started flying around the map in a hog
Ranked MCC has pretty much been held hostage by cheaters for the last year+, at least at the higher ranks. Sort of like the old Halo 2 days, we've gone full circle.
I don't play ranked so I never met a cheater
Its more rare in social for sure
I couldn't find any players for Halo 3 ranked, haven't played it in forever.
I’ve always been super curious about this and felt like bringing it up because mint blitz just recently brought it up about multiplayer splitscreen. Why is it that some playlists allow 4 players, but some only allow 2 or don’t even allow it at all
Why not just have it 4 player across all playlists?
@sullen anvil I'd be curious if there is an actual answer to this. Team matching doesnt appear to be consistent.
you can’t even splitscreen on FFA modes
something about that needs to be changed tbh
each playlist allowing up to 4player local splitscreen
Kinda feel like everyone forgot multiplayer has splitscreen support lol
Once again I like how this game is basically telling me “you suck at video games” because dude, Infinite is just way too sweaty and competitive for me. Sucks that 343 encourages this now :/
As a result of the investigation into inconsistent CSR, the 3 Flag CTF mode has been removed from the Ranked Arena playlist via a backend update. If you're currently playing haloInfinite, relaunch to see this change. The team is still monitoring CSR, so stay tuned for updates.
When SMG in Infinite?
Oh wait, what am I saying!! We can create the SMG in Forge! Right! Just use a base model and modify the range, attack, and ammo
Just 3 flag? Is 4 still in?
What was up with csr?
I know as much as the tweets say
Alright
Thanks stckr
3 flag? What
I dont play Infinite, but my guess is its referring to the score - I remember reading potential changes from 5 cap limits to 3 cap limits.
Just to be clear, does this mean that CTF was entirely removed from ranked? I think "3 flag" means "the three maps that featured CTF" (Argyle, Aquarius and Starboard)
That tweet confuses me so badly
Same
It being the cap limit makes sense
man. doing the ultimate weekly challenge as a BTB-only player will be a nightmare for me
Alright so I have a question.
I've been playing PC MCC For many months but I'm fixing to get a Xbox, should a switch from Keyboard and mouse to Controller of not? Ps before I got a PC I played on controller so I'm used to the controls.
I'm getting a Xbox because my PC sucks and I want a stable 120 fps.
Wtf am I dying from a melee when I have zero damage, zero shots landed on me. The list of aggravations with this game keeps piling up
Re spawning and already getting shot. Awesome
Hey. I played Halo my entire life on controller and I recently switched to MNK. It takes a bit of time to get used and you'll go through a lot of different settings, but when you it plays great!
.... If it only takes 3 feet of water to kill a spartan, why didn't the covenant just flood the battlefields with water?
wow, halo reach was incredible.
Sure was
Reach had the best campaign 😁
🤮
Nah h2 best
h3 campain >
I can’t come up with a best
They all excel and fail incredibly in a bunch of areas
Halo 4 best campaign
covies just bringing giant buckets of water to each planet they invade!
two types of floods to worry about
Disruptor is a much better weapon now that is actually effective @coarse pollen
I didn’t think we had to move lol, I thought that was about the argument
But anyway, send a clip and I’ll believe you, otherwise I stand my ground. Thing feels like a paperweight now
Idk how it feels like a paper weight at all now lol
what gun
Distruptor
Disruptor
Disrupter
just play cod lol
Distributer 💀
Shut it lmfao
it's meh
you talking to me lmao
super fiesta one si good tho
The both of you now that you mention it, but it was aimed at nighter
water is the superior weapon against a spartan. 100% fatality rate with only 3-4 feet deep
i am so happy i finished s1-s3- and weekl ychallanges and winter one
now i jsut started s2
That's the Calcine disruptor which does more damage, the normal Disruptor doesn't.
LMAO
ye
Calcine is like a 3 shot ttk I think
nah
4-5
6 shots originally to kill
that a new gun??
DOT does the job for the rest, you can just flee
yea I rarely did this lmao, useless in any competitive play more or less
Definitely not
That's been in the game since launch
Gives you ample time to run away and that kill is guaranteed
That video proves the old one was better lmao
So why is it useless now when you can actually get kills with it faster?
They also cannot aim while the DOT is active, it causes descope from the constant damage
More ammo + more focus on the target
It's not that much faster though
can we bring back all the old guns into infinite? I dont like the new ones much
No one's going to leave a person with no shields alone while he's chasing you and shooting at you, that's the most ineffective way to even use the gun
You don’t do that tho
I did that and the dot finished them off
Their fate is sealed
You literally just said "ample time to run away"
No one's running away from an unshielded target lmao
They can’t come back from 6 shots of the original one
You're gonna keep shooting at them, constantly.
Did you even see the video
That’s using the gun wrong
Yea, at that type of range? I'd keep shooting them for a guranteed kill and so they couldn't kill me
Simple facts
i stil lwant the old commando and a betetr bandit
If you use it like that, you're literally gonna die or give the enemy amble time to make you an unshielded target.
I hate this bot. You’re using it wrong
is it me or halo servers are laggy?
I havent played halo for a while
The disrupter had really good range what you talking about
It's not the bot's fault you keep using inappropriate words 🤓
also why i set to local and sent to america whn im from italy
i was paing with a dude from winsconsin
I wasn’t lol, I had just repeated what I said before but I guess it counts as spam
If you use it like that, you're literally gonna die or give the enemy amble time to make you an unshielded target.
Wrong
What
When someone’s shields are popped, they will run away and take cover
do not say the nutella word
Otherwise they’re easy to kill, a sitting duck
Did I get pinged here???
The DOT takes care of them behind cover
Idk
The disrupter also caused delayed healing haha
No one's hiding behind cover like that lol
I’m literally watching a video rn
You're gonna 1 shot kill them fast af
me
i run for me life asap
after killing half team then come back to finish the other 2
You can also just…swap guns. You shouldn’t have been using the disruptor shots to finish people off
ngl today i had some isnane kdr
duo i had 16-6
My weapon cursor just increased by 5x 💀
fiesta 23-5
ai i s currently uncostomizable lol
Wym?
The personal ai turning to butlr? I think that’s caused by customizing while loading
This just happened lmaoo
Does the AR reticle get bigger while you fire?
Not that big
I think it’s bugged to be stuck at the max lol
The circles don't get bigger like that
It might be able to just in case
That happened when I switched from 8k resolution to 1440p out of no where
Oh then it’s just your res then
8k res haha
I mean the bug comes from that
It’s probably trying to render the larger one at a lower res
Well it has to render at a higher res, so the scale is larger at a higher resolution
You don’t see it because everything else is larger
Unless 8k is not supported it could
the size on ur screen is going to be the same but the size in terms of pixels is bigger to compensate for their being more pixels on ur screen. i dont think anyone here is really disagreeing just wanted to make yall understand eachother lol
Understandable
weird bug tho lol
It could of just been a Infinite bug though
yah its just not rescaling it or something. I've had the same changing resolution just never that drastic. Usually fixes by just toggling ur fov by 1 degree and back
that seems to make the game recalculate the recticle size for the resolution
my laptop burns when playing this game
L
My laptop heats up a lil but I have like 4 fans pointed towards me so like it cools down pretty fast.... I also have an xbox 1 x that I mainly play on
what laptop
i got msi g66
k66
I recommend on PC setting up riva tuner and a keyboard shortcut to toggle a 30fps cap. That way you can cap the game to 30 when your in the menus and then hit the shortcut to uncap in game. saves power and component cooking
its an ASUS VIVOBOOK
skill
wait do u use external coolers?
do u even have an nvidia card
no
AMD APU?
lmao
want my specs?
nah i mgood
I mean Steam Deck can run Infinite pre S3 and that has a AMD APU
i can barely play the gme in 2k with a gtx 1080 in my desktop
wth is a apu
gpu cpu?
Processor AMD Ryzen 7 4700U with Radeon Graphics 2.00 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.42 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display
whatt AMD calls a CPU with really good on board graphics
Xbox and Playstation also use an APU from AMD but those are specially made for consoles and nothing on the PC APU market comes close to the amount of GPU power in the latest consoles
facts
but its supprising how good APUs in laptops are now
You can run the game at 8k resolution so it's "technically" supported but not really.
I'm probably like in the top 100 in terms of amount of people who have actually even attempted it.
Halo 5 Forge for example supports 5k resolution, and it does work. It just won't go above that.
my laptop was only like $200? and it runs most games... I can run Inifinite, Bo3, phasmo, r6 so I am set on life lmao
what paltaform tho
for sure, you will never need another PC upgrade for life 😄
lol. I am wanting to get a custom built pc with the best of everything on the market so
Get more RAM, Infinite's a RAM hog + Windows by default will almost always take up 4GB's I'd recommend getting a 2x8GB kit for your laptop
there is def possibility o f running halo in8k on pc jsut need 4090 i9
waiting?
I want one but im broke asf rn
nothing on PC still comes close to the amount of power the Xbox One X offered in terms of APU's lol
we're just now gaining AMD APU functionality of what the XONE had for PC's.
i could have popped 400 bucks on new cpu and mobo but ibought a table
lmao
tiem to grind
PC obviously what do you mean by platform
I want an oculus quest 2 before I get a pc tho
xbox and consoles exist
i am selling one
I don't have a RTX 4090 or a Intel processor but I can run Infinite at 8k 🤓
how much?
whatchu got
300 euro
Ryzen 5800x3D
RX 7900 XTX
my dream would be for Steam Deck 2 to have an eGPU dock. You dock it and you can game comfortably at 1440p. Right now you can do it via USB 4 but there's not enough PCIe 3 lanes. Need ability to hook up via PCIe 4x4 or 3x8 at least
i was gonna ay xtx too but i didn't know tbh
buy asus rog one
I am in America so I couldnt buy it lol
honestly you can run Infinite at 8K res if you have a RX 7900 XT or even whenever the RX 7800 XT comes out lol
you can
as long as it has the VRAM capability, you can
my gtx 1080 dying ik 2k
cause at 8k resolution Infinite consumes vram
💀
i got at my job a pc with 64 gb lol
in-game it claims it'll only use 11gb's but that's a lie
Oh and I want to use any GPU I want, not be limited by ASUS's proprietary eGPUs
when I monitor it, it uses like 18-20GB's 
ye i bet yu need at least 20vram
that's RAM not VRAM
jsut build a pc then
my PC has 64GB's of RAM to lol
i use less then 3gb of vram in infinite i play on such low settings. i have 8gb but i want frames lol
probably expensive as hell tho
Vram is on the gpu no?
mine is ddr4
yea they're 2 different things
Like mine has 12 gb vram
yeah.... same ngl
DDR4 is RAM
GDDR5/GDDR6/etc is VRAM
I have the RX6700 XT
mine isn’t a beast, but can run infinite on all max settings at 110 fps
GPU has 24GB's of VRAM, think it's GDDR6 on the 7900 XTX
I also have 64GB's of DDR4 RAM
i am 20 at studyung
So that’s what I play at, just 1080p tho cause that’s what my monitor’s at
and im working oo
do you crash much? I have RX6600 and I never crash so Im wondering if 6000 series GPUs are just perfect for Infinite
350 euro per month higest salry i had lmao
Occasionally but not very often at all
i'm just smart with pc specs and know how to spend money lol
same but i am brokie
DDR4 RAM right now is insanely cheap, 64GB's is like $130 lol
ye
That’s not cheap to everyone lol
interesting, probs helps i play mostly low settings
ddr5 ain't worth it
That’s not cheap as a whole tbh. That’s a good amount of money for one component
overhyped
Ofc that’s a good deal for what it is, but it’s not like anyone can go and grab that yk?
it's cheap compared to what it used to be
i remember when 16GB's of DDR4 was like $70-80, now it's $30-$40 lol
ye we get it ou are broke too but liek compared to ddr5 it's cheap
I’m not super broke but I’m still not wealthy
ofc idon't grow 130 euro outof the dirst but if yo ucompare prices it is cheaper than other things
$130 can be spent on so many other things is usually what I think about
send one mroe time this emoji and iam gonna eat all your ram
its great, same with storage. Upgrading to an SSD and 16GB RAM is so much more accessible now
100%
WD green 1TB SSD is like $35
i don't trust any of the other brands around that price point tho
im hella broke lol
all I know is
Infinite runs beautifully for me now
basically if you want to eliminate desync
you just need a better pc
L advice..... im broke asf and cant afford one
Wrong, desync is a networking issue
setting the simulation quality to Max helps a bit
What you’ve eliminated is poor performance, but that doesn’t change that the game is poorly optimized
And the servers are crap
and you'll only lose FPS with higher simulation quality if ur hitting a CPU bottleneck
Same goes for animation quality. Should always be max
I dont want my laptop to die
Do you get significant performance changes with it? It also falls onto the CPU
you can use RSR with an AMD APU I think?
nope sadly not
ah
Processor AMD Ryzen 7 4700U with Radeon Graphics 2.00 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.42 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Oh you got integrated graphics 💀
343 pls add FSR and DLSS 
Add real full screen support so I can use RSR
The borderless only fullscreen is 👎👎👎👎
you can, AMD sucks at explaining how the feature works
not worth it
I’ve heard it just doesn’t work on infinite
It's both a networking and game issue afaik.
Example:
I get desync on my Ryzen 5 3600
Switched to a 5800x3D
Zero desync issues.
my gold guns in cod look nice. not that

Nah, that is nice. Not every gun skin has to be flashy and gaudy
Subtle stuff is nice

oh wut
sooner then I expected
So if you want the best performance RSR, add a custom resolution in Adrenalin at 1440x810. The refresh rate and clock timing doesnt matter because we're using GPU not display scaling. Then make sure GPU scaling is enabled and set your system resolution to 1440x810. Enable RSR for Infinite and boot up the game. then when in game make sure you have all scaling off (including "Minimum framerate") and that Infinit is also set to 1440x810. Now you should see RSR working and the slider in Adrenalin should make Infinite look sharper (easiest way to test its working is to move the slider)
810p is the lowest resolution support by Infinite though. If you want RSR Balanced, you can skip adding a custom resolution and just set your system resolution & in game resolution to 1080p.
I was wrong at first
that's super early for PST dudes lol
thx
i would also set the sharpening slider in Infinite to 0 and use the RSR slider
oh and you want to set RSR to "Enabled" not "Enabled - borderless fullscreen"
the latter works for balanced but not if you wanna upscale from 810p
King status
in fact i think you can use "Enabled - borderless fullscreen" and not change ur system resolution
I’ll try when I’m home
i didnt notice the custom resolution I added is now included in the RSR presets
RSR is such a neat feature but man they make it convoluted to use lol
AMD software is just downright bad lol
jank and powerful at the same time
Oh when it works it works
But getting it to work is the problem lol, it’s got a really bad interface
Like the color settings I have, I love ‘em. Super nice on my monitor
But getting to that point was soooo annoying with how janky that software is
Recon I added a thing I Want in the MCC List thing
for some reason RSR doesnt let you use AMD Chill (the fps cap), and there is no other way to cap ur FPS without breaking Freesync it seems. So I've resorted to just enabling freesync+vsync and changing my system refresh rate between 144 to 120 to 100 to 85 depending on the game im playing
works but like dang why cant you just let me cap the FPS while using RSR lol
nice 😄
PC gaming just needs a lot of the features of Nvidia and AMD's control panels baked into the OS
similar to Steam OS
Uh recon what happend to your old account haha
definitely not as bad as Nvidia software is when you want something to work properly
Nvidia software is jank af, if you haven't touched there drivers just don't bother is my recommendation.
Both of them are bad lol
They're mainly meant to be plug and play and that's about it. Zero customization, moment you try to customize stuff things begin breaking down fast.
Never had issues with AMD's software when I try to customize stuff or set up custom resolutions etc, it just works. Very different experience on Nvidia drivers.
For me it’s the interface
The UI is trash, and it likes to uninstall itself at least for the 6700
It was worse before but over time it’s gotten better with the uninstalls tho
And yeah I did disable windows from trying to sabatoge it but that didn’t change much
That might actually be a Windows update issue, I had that same issue on a RX 570 until I uninstalled the driver, let Windows install it's really out dated AMD drivers and all that stuff, then just installed the newest drivers on top of it and haven't had any issues with it since.
That issue hasn't ever been a thing with my RX 7900 XTX tho
Just saw a bot entering a room full of enemies walking backwards lmao
do we have to watch co-streamers for the AR skin? or will the Halo broadcast count?
I believe so, yes
Do we know when is the XP bonus is beginning ?
probably when the challenge resets at 7
When was the first Spartan issued? How was he? There should be a happy Spartan day!
The callouts are pink and car with no pink and no car, gets me every time.
so why telling its beginning the 2nd ?
And progress doesn't track at the same time pretty sure.
damn why servers are so garbage today
I wasn't having any issues in game, but at the lobby I was.
depends on the amount of traffic aka the bandwidth being used down the major pipelines. Then to the servers. Then to the ISP. Plus equipment. Then to the hub. ETC...
Had to use Waypoint to see what my challenges were.
I enjoy hexagonal patterns but having to watch someone for 3 hours lol. It's always been weird to me when a game decides you can only get something from a guy who may or may not end up talking more than playing.
That's still a problem?
Wonder why challenges just don't seem to be part of the game itself, or whatever the reason why it appears to be tied to internet and can fail to load properly, nothing else I know of has it happen.
I think the game would benefit immensely from having an MCC-style, in-game popup that tracks your challenges.
Especially since challenges are linked to getting rewards and battle pass progression.
And probably the universal ranking system in S4.
ugh, do bots not count as "enemy spartans" in challenges
Grain of salt, not entirely sure, but I think that it only matters if it specifies “in PvP modes”
well that's what I thought until now, but my challenges did not get completed in bot bootcamp despite none of them specified PvP
I remember having completed some challenges in bot bootcamp, so maybe they changed it
Does anyone know if there will be a community playdate anytime soon to get ice unicorn items?
We havent had a community playdate since season 2
Maybe a question for the next Spartan Chatter?
I haven’t heard anything about that
Best bet is to watch the halo twitter account
They had some challenges a while back which were achievable in Bootcamp, those lacked the "in PvP modes" section of the challenges
i love amogus
i hate how bad i am at ranked CTF
i always make the wrong call when the other team are running the flag
its so much more complicated then territories or oddball
could literally hear the pain in my team mates voice and i dont even speak french xd
Now we know the name of the Season then "Infection"
Everyone can get three coatings today
The MCC modding update doesn’t say “go play ranked matchmaking to see players using mods”, could have been an awesome update 😂
ngl i'm jealous of the rgb hud that some hackers have in videos they upload
id love to be able to customize hud color in each game
Amazing how you can go like 30 Kills 5 Deaths in Swat and your team still somehow loses, they really need to balance the matchmaking in Halo Infinite.
not putting you in those games would be a start.
Ok I have a problem with HALO INFINITE starting on my pc. It just gets stuck in a syncing data loop
might find better help in #1075989764026675210
Why can't you find games in europe after mid night even tho you set the search to be expanded, why is there still geofencing? if I am asking to play on american servers
What has happened the game I am being put into games that are like 50/25 slayers, Everyone on my team is literally a potato or rage quiting going 5/10 these matches are not even close
Casual mp is so sweaty now
any way to play fireteam raven in the dc area or is there away to run it on my own pc (its running on a hp box in the cabinet)
Just finished grinding the Season 3 Battlepass
Uh, can’t wait for Infection in 18 days.
has anyone else been lagging very hard only in ranked the last few days?
if you've ever used a wasp in MP, you're an actual almond. sorry, i don't make the rules. i just come up with them and write them down
can I play BTB heavies rn in Infinite? or do I havw to wait for them to rotate in?
anything better than being a raisin
is it just me or are you also getting 100% braindead staring at ground&sky players in doubles? It's genuinely mind-boggling to me how every game a BOT is more useful than them
yah ive had players who dont seem to know the controls in quick play
yeah its orrible
maybe once you reach a high enough MMR they stop putting you in lobbies with bottom 5% players but i aint reached it yet
which boggles my mind honestly
I dont play competitive atm, does it matter?
i dont think it makes any difference
I've watched pro players in social get team mates with barely any grasp of the game
you have an MMR regardless of whether you play ranked, its just the metric used to judge a players skill
i would just make it so you can only match with players of a higher skill up to 50% of the player base above your skill level, and likewise therefore you can only match with players of a lower skill up to 50% of the player base below your skill level. That way everyone can match with at least 50% of the player base but the best players would never be in the same lobby as the worse players
seems like whatever cost that would have to matchmaking times would be worth it in terms of match quality
or at the very least this should be the case whenever matchmaking times are under say 2 minutes, then once matchmaking times surpass 2 minutes you can turn off the 50% skill range filter so that good or bad players arent ever completely unable to find matches
Yep. As part of a more detailed match composer. We should have sliders that tell the match maker how long we are happy to wait for a match in terms of both skill range and server distance (ping). And separately, eg. I am happy to wait 5 minutes for an even / low ping match. If you can't do that spend the next three minutes trying to find me an even match. After that, whatever.
Can’t wait for the PVE in Forge
I’m the best player, In halo universe. 🙂
I believe it
Halo live on Twitch right now
Or is it
people in ranked who just start screaming callouts suddenly after being silent the rest of the game cause they're mad
my god its just a game if you wanna win callout normally throughout the game
How can it still be crashing on LAN? Wild.
Yeah did anyone see that? Someone crashed at the HCS on the map Streets
tryna report this guy for just generally abusive comms and hes the only person i cant see in my recent players lmao
just making team mates throw because he takes the game too seriously, so annoying
had to mute him all 4 games in a row cause he couldnt keep his chill lol
Loving these random disconnects from custom games.
Fix customs already my god 👍
But fixing issues in this game is like a game of whackamole. They fix one thing but break several others even worse
That's how most software is
Not as bad as infinite/slipspace. Literally held together by toothpicks, hot glue and duct tape
just like Halo 2 ^^
great discussion topic: why is there people in high ranked camping flag but going 5 kills 19 deaths with no assists
Because they’re bad at camping
It surprises me that Slayer is a competitively viable playmode in Halo, but TDM isn't in COD
You haven't played Darktide, early Brink, or a few dozen other games.
... Or a few hundred really
ive disconnected from ranked twice today, lost my 30+ kill game due to disconnect
major rip dude that sucks
Can you not reconnect in Infinite ranked?
My LASO run was just ruined my a bug that turned all the skulls off
Your pfp is the perfect emote for that statement
you have never seen a line of code in your life
educate him
show him a working line of code
343 too while you're at it
maybe then i won't get kicked out of games
lmao, stop complaining about engines when you have no idea what you're on about 🫡
uhmm sirr
u dontt have to know how engines work to know when one doesnt work
do u have to be a vet to know label a dog sicking when its puking all over the floor
i think not
And how do you know that this one doesn’t work?
becaus 343 instruies wrote a 40 page blog exaplnningg to us y online is bad
more efforte goes into the blogs explanning why something isnt working than my matchmaking lobby!!
Well that’s just simply not true
ok
i will contunie to play infinite and get kicked out of for no reason
and talk to my tv, hello tv, that didnt happen why did u show me getting kicked out
this game has no issues, titan said so
you must be a halo fan, because you have 0 reading comprehension skills at all
another thing the community has no skill in
that being said, Titan clearly meant that they don't put "more efforte" into the blogs than into the codebase
r you trying to down play the importance of a blog writer
when i read the blogs they dont kick me out half way into reading them
works on my machine + L
that is great fore you sir
but if that was the case for most people there wouldnt be blogs about networrk issues
Did you contact support
yes
they made me reinstall game
hardreset xbox
i thin they wanted me to reset the internet box too but i didnt do it because cod and bf work
vocal minority
i did not see statistics at the bottom of the blog posts backing that staement up
i do see however oeople stop playing it because they cant
Try that
