halo-discussion

[analog salmon]

In the classic game it’s very distinct sandstone to grey/metallic

For some reason saber made new Mombasa also very sandstone asthetic

[exotic vigil]

I wish they would fix the H2A framerate issues

I havent even played it in months

[analog salmon]

Pray tomorrow it’s fixed

[exotic vigil]

Oh right I almost forgot that

Big hype if it is

[lusty wraith]

Man I gotta replay H2 again for the 50th time lol

So damn good

[exotic vigil]

Legendary time

[lusty wraith]

The MCC classic visual fixes are actually 11/10, so glad they made those updates

One thing that I really wish we could get are the original credits. CE has a missing cutscene because of this, and 2/3 have unique music that are just so fulfilling to listen to

[exotic vigil]

Yeah and the Reach credits and the goodbye from bungie

[lusty wraith]

H2’s credit visuals are so friggen beautiful too imo. The like etherial-digital motif is

[analog salmon]

Yeah I’ve been mostly playing 2 with classic graphics since they’ve been improved. Think I’ll replay on anniversary soon if they fixed the performance

[lusty wraith]

If my name was on those credits I’d feel like I made it in life

[analog salmon]

Bungies name should be on the introduction imo, I can’t imagine they would be that opposed now the game is solid. Maybe it’s just to avoid people wrongly thinking it’s maintained by bungie ig

[lusty wraith]

I personally play on classic mainly because of audio and music, I love the classic sfx and some sounds/music in H2A are a bit off to me. I still like H2A but the classic is yet to be topped

[analog salmon]

Their name is on the box copy of MCC

I think there’s a mod for classic music in anniversary

[lusty wraith]

Yeah I gotta try that

H2A music is 90% gold, but I think what really annoyed me was the complete tone shift of “Punishment” compared to “Heavy Price Paid”

https://youtu.be/7isqWSWGM2s

VS

https://youtu.be/GIVW5JgYSns

Anyone know if Marty/Michael had any involvement in Halo Legends’ ost? I think Legends music captures their sound extremely well

[opal orbit]

Hay Guys, searching for a Group to boost the Halo 5: Forge Achievements. Anyone up for this?

[storm snow]

I stopped trying when I'm supposed to carry the team now and it's so much more enjoyable. Kinda funny seeing the scoreboard though, just on this last one I got my 10 kills then just chilled and we lost 50-31

[fierce oasis]

ok so solution for ai defaulting to butlr

delete butlr

also solution for sweats

ban anyone better than me (i am not good)

[storm snow]

Delete all ai's and spartan chatter

You can actually delete the audio files for the ai's on the steam version of the game, such a great qol feature.

[analog salmon]

Spartan chatter is somewhat helpful I think

[storm snow]

"enemy over there" Where MF, where???

[lime robin]

[analog salmon]

Tells you if they have certain weapons I think

[lime robin]

It's useful when calling out power weapons and camo, but everything else is just confusing if you give it more than half a second of thought

Nevertheless, I don't turn it off

[analog salmon]

I don’t think it tells you anything the killfeed doesn’t but I don’t watch the kill feed that much

I just passive note which team killed which team so I know how many people are dead

[devout kite]

I always wonder how’s it possible to be in Diamond career rank with 1k game played

[storm snow]

Maybe they got to gold before bot bootcamp was taken out

[devout kite]

Or that person play the game 24/7 lol

[storm snow]

Plenty of those out there tbf

[low musk]

Sadly Bot Bootcamp is still missing. Guess people were idle playing or something

[lime robin]

It was removed to avoid rank farming

[glacial tartan]

I feel bad for PvE players, now they have actually nothing to play in matchmaking

[storm snow]

https://i.imgur.com/Douoa91.png

Hmm, I was at level 0 on the season 1 battlepass and never unlocked these

[devout kite]

343 doesn’t want people to rank farm lol

[short heart]

then disable xp from that gamemode it can’t take longer than 30 minutes

[crystal iron]

Rats best I'd back.... Had to get re adjusted to such a classic map

[storm snow]

If they did that something nuts would happen like make all onyx players bronze

[elfin copper]

Where do I go to complain about taking away ranked slayer?

[storm snow]

Just played a game on the rats nest remake and it actually feels like an old school map. I didn't have to sprint for 30 seconds to get back to the action on respawn

[ruby knoll]

When i respawn it usually takes me less than 10 seconds to get into the action

Have you tried moving towards the sounds of gunfire?

[storm snow]

I have my volume turned off so I don't have to listen to the stupid ai

[thin elm]

i think u can turn jus ai off in settings

but still hear the map, guns etc

[storm snow]

Na there's no way to turn the ai off

[smoky wave]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/squad-battle

[soft spear]

omg squad battle looks dope

[misty vale]

another in a line of W updates

[dull cave]

Firefight

[hollow bobcat]

Is it only three maps for 8v8?

If so, that seems a little lackluster. I would have expected at least five or six to start.

I would have expected other maps like terminal from Halo 2, standoff from Halo 3, or landfall from Halo 4.

[misty vale]

"I can never be happy" the community the movie

[storm snow]

I just got 1 shot by a commando...

[scarlet shuttle]

Well there was only 3 BTB at first no? I like it when I can replay maps over and over ans master them. There are so many new maps now I can barely navigate through them without making mistakes 😂

There will be more maps, no worries

[smoky wave]

These are tested to be in matchmaking too

[hollow bobcat]

Hopefully more maps can be added if the 8v8 mode is actually good.

[misty vale]

"if" lol

they're mid size maps, 8v8 seems pretty populated

all 3 maps I just played good

[smoky wave]

Depends also the forgers if they have time to do most changes and be able to be in matchmaking
There is like a whole list on what to do if you want your map be on official playlists

[scarlet shuttle]

I can’t remember how many players were on a BTB match in Halo Reach? 16?

[hollow bobcat]

If somebody creates and officially has Beaver Creek added, I will be happy.

[serene furnace]

Squad Battle just got added to Infinite and it's a pleasant surprise

[ruby knoll]

Populated? ERM, don't yuo know that le game is le dead??? 🤓

[serene furnace]

A bit sad Sandtrap was not along the remade maps, but being real, the Elephants are the protagonists of Sandtrap, and since that vehicle is not on Infinite, a map without them wouldn't be the same

[scarlet shuttle]

As long as we don’t get to play CTF on Beaver Creek, I’m all in for that map. One map I really enjoyed on Halo CE was the one in space where you can fall between the two platforms

[storm snow]

Just lost 75-27 lmao

[misty vale]

I just won 100k but it's not a million dollars I am pissed also a halo lifelong "fan"

[hollow bobcat]

I may be wrong, but was that boarding action?

[scarlet shuttle]

Yes exactly! Loved snipers fight on that map.

[serene furnace]

I love Boarding Action, just not Halo CE's gameplay

[storm snow]

Has there been any public mention of 343 tuning aim assist? I just had my controls pulled by a ghost driving past while I was fighting someone else. I don't remember it ever being that strong in Infinite

[toxic parrot]

Is squad battle a permanent mode?

[crystal iron]

It’s rotational

[toxic parrot]

Had a feeling. Doesn't matter, already don't like it. Played a game of ctf and a game of one flag and every single game we got spawn trapped because of how small the maps are. I can now see why tanks and wraiths are only gained through pelicans

[devout kite]

Those maps are halo 3 remakes

[scarlet shuttle]

But why did I never see this as a problem in previous Halo? There were games with tons of scorpions and it didn’t ruin anything

[toxic parrot]

Probably because correct me if I'm wrong,I think the scorpion here is stronger than the halo 3 scorpion. Either that or maybe it's just the aoe constantly killing me.

But aside from that,probably because back then we had spartan lasers and plasma pistols,not dynamo grenades, shock weapons,skewers,and grappleshots. So Scorpions weren't as easy to destroy

Meanwhile here you can lose your scorpion within a few seconds if you're surrounded

[serene furnace]

The combination of BTB maps being more claustrophobic for vehicles and Spartans being able to move faster with things like the grapple certainly give Scorpion tanks a harder time to stick around on Infinite matches

[hollow bobcat]

About an hour ago, I played my first squad battle game. I was annihilating people as a turret gunner on the warthog in "total control".

[toxic parrot]

Meanwhile with halo 3 remake maps,maps that are wide open,you can pretty much get shot from across a field by Scorpion tank. Earlier we got trapped in our base in valhalla since it was right outside and even if we threw dynamo grenades,we would just get sniped trying to board it

[grim citrus]

That’s what happens when you don’t modify maps to fit the modern take on halo games.

[dusky nova]

I'm guessing nobody is playing the new Squad Battle playlist, because even with expanded matchmaking search on it's showing an estimated wait time of over 2 mins for me and after searching I just can't find anything.

it's that or the matchmaking on it is broken

[grim citrus]

Nostalgia can only keep a person’s attention for so long

[vital pebble]

^

don't get me wrong i enjoy halo infinite

i just don't enjoy it to the extent i've been playing it

[glacial tartan]

If they removed sprinting / clambering / other movements not in the games where the maps came from, would you expect an improvement? Not sure they can even do that per title but just an idea.

At that point you’re recreating H3 in Infinite but that ship has sailed I think.

[left snow]

It sucks that the relatively low population is affecting the quality of lobbies.

But it doesn't mean the MM is "trash". It's doing the best it can with what it has to work with.

And TS2 will sort the population at hand very efficiently.

Sadly, the trash part is that it's garbage in, garbage out.

[smoky oasis]

I'm getting instant matches.

[dusky nova]

Huh, for me it's now showing an estimated wait of 3:33 and again, I've got expanded search on.

Other playlists are completely fine though.

[smoky oasis]

That is weird. Try resetting the game I guess.

[vagrant glade]

adding BR to team slayer loadouts was a bad call

[toxic parrot]

Seriously. I would have understood bandit rifles since they're better but BR is just annoying. It's always either team slayer or BR slayer

[undone sluice]

is the MCC update out?

[low musk]

Geez, can I get a single victory today? 5 games and we keep losing by a landslide. Last game it was 53 to 100 kills.

All BTB

[tepid latch]

July 12 american time

[undone sluice]

damnnnnn

[tepid latch]

PST i think, so atm its July 11 5.20pm there

[undone sluice]

I am in australia so I made a mistake lol, used to wednesday updates

[low musk]

Make that 6 losses in a row. This is disheartening

[ivory glacier]

All 3 of my teammates crouch walking the entire match. Took forever. It’s crazy 343 fixes the game and the players ruin it

[crystal iron]

oh okay, thanks for the info

[serene furnace]

Infinite needs multi team

[unkempt vessel]

Lol.

Some Players.

[left snow]

Yes please

[blazing eagle]

[white birch]

Just fought Uny on Infinite. Small world.

[devout kite]

I miss the classic halo 3 btb maps I’m glad we can play them this week

[serene furnace]

Only Halo 3 and ODST

[blazing eagle]

What?? That’s so weird lol

[serene furnace]

And Infinite

[ivory glacier]

I’m not really into cosmetics and there’s already tons of variety anyway but I gotta say this season 4 battle pass is so bad it’s funny

[exotic vigil]

I think they need to bundle the “cross core” coatings together

[wise kite]

Tried ranked for the first time since season 2 and of my five placment matches I had three matches with a leaver and a match with a betrayer, great matchmaking 343

Also it's absolutely absurd how winning a 3v4 doesn't give you bonus points

[hollow bobcat]

Although this has already been a theory most likely, I think the reason for the lack of cross core customization is due to the marketplace.

[exotic vigil]

Well obviously

[hollow bobcat]

The thought process is essentially if I can't have a cool armor coating for one core, then I guess I'm going to have to spend money on another cool looking armor coating and customize another. That's more money spent just to add some more options.

Again, it's just a conspiracy. I can't actually prove what I say is true. It's very rare you'll hear this from somebody within the community because they typically go balls to the wall with their assumptions being true.

[devout kite]

How’s everyone career rank going me I’m sliver gunny grade three

[ivory glacier]

Sentinel beams not a banished weapon? My bad. Thought it was

[signal ivy]

forerunner

hardlight etc

[hollow bobcat]

Sentinel beams were technically in the first Halo, but we got them as weapons and Halo 2. They were very useful in Halo Infinite.

I just had this interesting idea if Halo 5 ever came to PC. What if there was the option to not allow ADS? In other words, the weapon zooms in, but it doesn't shift to the call of duty ads look. This obviously does not apply to every weapon, especially if it has a scope like a sniper rifle.

[left snow]

I guess you take your chances with other players.

I do wish they matched players on DNF. My quit rate is barely 0.1% - I deserve to play with similar players.

[grim citrus]

Is there something wrong with ADS? It’s been in every halo game since CE. The only difference in H5 is that you can see around you.

[hollow bobcat]

I'm talking about how a Halo 5 did it. Normally, if you had a battle rifle, the camera would just either zoom in or be viewed through a scope. In Halo 5, you literally transition into the ADS like in Call of Duty. That doesn't happen in infinite or other games prior to that.

[grim citrus]

The sidekick, bandit, carbine all have a similar ADS to 5

[hollow bobcat]

When you aim with those weapons, you're not aiming down the sights. The weapon is still positioned to the right and it zooms in a little bit.

In Halo 5, you literally have your eyes down the sights. That's what I'm talking about.

[grim citrus]

So the animation throws you off?

[hollow bobcat]

I think some people just don't like it. I think I should just be an option (for Halo 5).

[grim citrus]

So you would prefer it like CE. Where you have no idea who’s around you

In a fast paced game, that would be extremely problematic

People that have the option on would have a huge advantage

[livid fable]

that would slow down your match finding

[exotic vigil]

I really wouldnt waste my time dude it isnt worth it

[livid moat]

?

[hollow bobcat]

I think it's a good idea and it is worth it. Some people just have a distaste for aiming down sights, especially when it comes to Halo not traditionally having a feature like that.

[livid moat]

???

[exotic vigil]

I meant arguing with that dude

I think bloom with ads or no bloom without is the best idea

[quasi finch]

Wdym I’d say you should reverse that

No bloom with ads and bloom without

[exotic vigil]

I get that

I think that with bloom the ads compensates and stays accurate

[hollow bobcat]

Let me put it this way.

Do you know how in Halo Infinite, aiming with the pistol slightly zooms in and the weapon is still to the right? The same applies to the assault rifle and bandit. As an option, I think if Halo 5 ever came to PC, there should be an option to have the weapons aim just like that.

Normally in Halo 5, aiming with specific weapons will make you aim down the sights with the weapon in the middle. This was specifically for the battle rifle.

[grim citrus]

Ah, my mistake. And you want all weapons like that?

[hollow bobcat]

In Halo 5, I think it would be cool if it was an option. Some people didn't like how the battle rifle would literally aim down the sights like in COD.

[grim citrus]

Well not to be technical, when you sim a weapon you do have to hold the weapon to your face.

It kind of defeats the purpose of having scopes on weapons if it leans to the right

[hollow bobcat]

I know, but other games don't do that. The weapon just stays to the right and you slightly zoom in when aiming. Even Doom 2016 and Eternal does that (unless the weapon has a scope).

[grim citrus]

I hear what you’re saying.

Doom eternal does have that option, now that you mention it, it would be a good option

[hollow bobcat]

Well, that's more like gun position. When you hit the aim button, you're not putting your the weapon in your face aim.

[sullen anvil]

it’s 1am MCC update when

[serene furnace]

They are not midnight updates lol

[sullen anvil]

if it’s not up in 5 minutes I’m going to peacefully walk away from the conversation and go to bed

[serene furnace]

It's gonna come out like in 12 hours

[exotic vigil]

Probably going to be 10am Pacific

[serene furnace]

Is this update bringing Halo 4 campaign crossplay?

[tepid latch]

I dont think so, they didnt mention any of that in the blog post about it

[crystal iron]

Well just like in previous Halo with the Rat base, I have yet to ever win a match on that map

[zenith holly]

I haven't won a match after 3 games of that mode, so far the experience has been trash for me.

[crystal iron]

Finally Valhalla , it I wish I can just play slater on it

And I won on Valhalla

Cpt the flag, on eflag captured and I sniped half the team with me sniping the driver and the gunner at one point

I found a sweet spot using the grapplehook

Ok why do most of the armors have like this citrus Tropical themed lol

Hey anyone else noticed something weird with the armor hall, info to change my coating and all my coatings have a metallic look and there's a weird shadow on them

[low musk]

I'm hoping to be somewhere in the Low to mid 20s in the Season 4 BP after tomorrow. Been clawing my way upwards towards the TRENDLOCK Helmet. Currently sitting at 17, so I have 10 more levels to go. Got 5 challenges left so between that and the first battle bonus, and popping a 2 XP booster, it will hopefully push me into the 22 or 23 spot

[crystal iron]

I'ma probably play a few more rounds than maybe jump over to No man Sky

[crystal iron]

Sniper rifle, Valhalla, grapple hook and I have me a spot that can't be touched by ground forces while also dropping Pilots out their things

Dude there is one dude who got some reason even when shooting him he still holds his accuracy

Is hacking still a big issue on Halo infinite or did they get locked down

[hollow bobcat]

I just realized something. With the incoming acquisition of Activision by Microsoft, do you think resources from one development company will flow into Halo?

[small goblet]

No Microsoft keeps all company separate under there own management it’s why redfall never got cancelled even tho the employees begged Microsoft

[hollow bobcat]

With a game like Halo, it might be too big to isolate.

[autumn pasture]

I bet it's like 6PM CEST

[crystal iron]

Well damn I used the reposlor and it did nothing.

I really just want a dang PVE mode already, I'm tired of grinding PVP for XP..

[fervent peak]

Are we getting PvE for Infinite?

Sorry I’ve just been living under a huge rock

[small goblet]

Ai update I believe

That’s what been said

[fervent peak]

Ooooo sweet

[coarse dagger]

#announcements

[reef crypt]

How's the BTB update in infinite?

[crystal iron]

It’s ok

[cobalt ginkgo]

Home menu needs a “reconnect to server” button for after quick resume on Xbox

[autumn pasture]

someone ping me when the MCC update drops 🤍

[small goblet]

Yeah been getting that too just gotta restart the game

[olive brook]

super excited for the mcc update today

[autumn pasture]

Gonna be sad if i have to play it tomorrow

[crystal iron]

3 hours and 30 minutes! Can’t wait

[rocky cipher]

anyone elses Infinite just crash immediately upon startup

[autumn pasture]

darn, takes too long

[crystal iron]

Not really. MCC was always updated at that hour

[autumn pasture]

what is the first thing you gonna check out?

[crystal iron]

Firefight of course. Will definitely try playing it in custom games

[scarlet shuttle]

What are the Legendary Emblems representing Tarot? Released Season 3, never ever heard or seen those before? 🤔

[wanton root]

there a bunch of cosmetic items that weren't sold in the game right now

[livid cobalt]

Why am I seemingly the only one who still wants to properly play Halo on a mouse and keyboard without a population that's on life support, even Titanfall 2 Northstar feels far more alive and stable on PC

I literally can't find any EU game for Reach half the time

[wanton root]

just don't know when they'll come out

[scarlet shuttle]

Ok

[wanton root]

like, a bunch of season 3 coatings look sick but some of them weren't even sold at all

[livid fable]

something something heresy keep it constructive blah blah blah

[analog salmon]

just select East US

im guessing youre a btb guy cause reach 4v4 is pretty easy to find games in

but i get sub 100ms on east US so its very playable

to find btb matches outside of halo 3 you really have to like all the games

you select every game except halo 3 and you will find something decently fast

(fwiw i love halo 3 btb the most but its nice to play the others)

im actually kinda supprised you wanna play reach with keyboard and mouse though

i dont know why but i cant stand reach kbm

3, CE, Infinite no problem but Reach is always gonna be a controller title for me

3 is probably partly so popular on PC because of how well it plays kbm

[round forge]

Have the Forge PvE features been added?

[wanton root]

not yet

[round forge]

Have they said when?

[wanton root]

don't think so

but I have hope it's soon

[limpid pollen]

is it possible to mod the windows store (game pass pc) version of mcc?

[analog salmon]

yeah you can access the files and whatnot

in the xbox app you might have to make it moddable if you installed it before "XboxGames" was made the default install location

but if its already in the XboxGames folder you can install mods, just dont have access to Steam Workshop

[livid cobalt]

All the others too

Shame it's so obsolete here

[limpid pollen]

😦

hopefully theyll give it the skyrim xbox treatment one day

[analog salmon]

honestly if you wanna mod just buy it on steam

i've had game pass for years but i just bought it on steam for the workshop support

[crystal iron]

You can mod on Xbox it is just that it will be much more difficult and risky, so yeah steam is the best way

I can't even imagine what people will do with all the "new" content

[scarlet shuttle]

We just had a 1 flag game and we were on over time because it was 2 points vs 2 points. We managed to win the over time round and the result was a TIE

[sullen anvil]

I want David Cross to voice marines in Halo again

[daring scaffold]

Yooo

[scarlet shuttle]

Someone failed his programming class at 343? 🤣

[lime robin]

Submit a support ticket about it so they're aware

[sullen kiln]

Please refer to the Halo Support site for additional information and/or to submit a ticket concerning any issues you may be experiencing.

https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[analog salmon]

because you both won both your offence rounds and then you stopped them winning the overtime round?

so its not a programming error

you never won points for successfully defending in One Flag

its just oversight in how overtime works in One Flag since only one team gets another chance

really there just shouldnt be an overtime round in one flag

[next shard]

theres some absolute noobs in squad battle. on one hand you love to see it but on the other hand omfg I hate it lol

[olive brook]

mcc update

less go

[small goblet]

That’s just every game mode

[next shard]

no not like this

[scarlet shuttle]

We stole the flag in overtime. It was 2 points vs 2 points. We stole the flag and won the over time round. The end result? TIE 3 - 3.

And yes? If you defend your flag, you get a point. If you steal a flag, you get a point.

They won the 2 first rounds, and we won the next 3, and it ended up as a TIE. There is an error.

[autumn pasture]

Halo MCC is updating now.

[analog salmon]

Fair but honestly makes no sense to treat a one flag round as a deciding round anyway

You need to give both teams the opportunity to attack or you can win every attacking round and lose

[scarlet shuttle]

Even a guy yelled in his mic: “oh what! TIE!?” 🤣

[analog salmon]

In past games you didn’t get a point for defending a round because the objective is to cap

[scarlet shuttle]

Ok ok

[analog salmon]

I’ve had games in infinite both teams won every attacking round and the team that attacked first won because they got to attack in the overtime round

[scarlet shuttle]

Yeah but if they didn’t succeed in stealing the flag, the defending team should have won?

[olive brook]

did anyone elses mcc backgrounds get reset after the update

[analog salmon]

If neither team is capable of defending against the other team, neither should win

[scarlet shuttle]

But it’s also about being capable of attacking

[analog salmon]

The first team to attack gets the overtime round and wins purely from a flip of a coin

The other team would have won if they attacked first

And thus attacked in overtime

[scarlet shuttle]

Not if they don’t succeed in stealing the flag? 🤔

It’s treated as equal, not harder to attack, not harder to defend.

[analog salmon]

Yes but in a game neither team is able to defend agains the other team no matter how many rounds you add, it’s not equal letting one team attack 1 more round and thus win

This isn’t some hypothetical

[scarlet shuttle]

Yeah, I get what you mean, like if both team are bad at defending, the one team that get an extra attack will have the advantage

[analog salmon]

It happens on maps where you can break the spawn and thus both teams can easily cap but neither can easily defend

Salivation in particular because it spawns the defending team so far from the flag

[scarlet shuttle]

But the same is true if both team are bad at attacking?

[analog salmon]

Yup

Any tie in attack defend should just be a tie

Or you can add 2 more rounds and give both a chance to attack again

[scarlet shuttle]

If it end up in all Defend wins, the last round’s attacker are at a disadvantage x)

[analog salmon]

Either is unfair because it’s a toss of the dice if both teams can’t defend or both teams can’t cap

[scarlet shuttle]

But as you say, previous Halo don’t offer point in defending 🤔 which is the problem. In Infinite, you get a point if you successfully defend your flag.

It’s a bit of a “too bad” if you can’t overcome the other team.

[analog salmon]

It’s not too bad it’s luck deciding the game lol

Otherwise why even swap attackers and defenders around?

[scarlet shuttle]

Well it’s the players skill. Luck or no luck, you were in a team unable to perform as either attacker or defender.

[analog salmon]

The whole reason you swap them is because it’s a fair and equal test of both teams

[scarlet shuttle]

Yeah ok

Thats true 😂

[analog salmon]

😄

I think 343 just rebuilt a lot of the code related to mode logic and didn’t consider the downside of giving points for defending

[scarlet shuttle]

So there should only be 4 round, or 6 (but that would be too long).

[analog salmon]

Does it even end after 3 rounds if one team can’t win?

Past halo games i believe it did

[scarlet shuttle]

We played 5 round, the match lasted 23 minutes

[analog salmon]

If starting attacking team caps, then successfully defends, then caps again, they’ve won already and the game would end in Halo 3 at least

Idk if it works that way in infinite

[scarlet shuttle]

Yes it would give them the victory im pretty sure in Infinite

[analog salmon]

I don’t really know why the single overtime round is a thing in infinite then tbh, 4 rounds is already a long game

If I were 343 I would just give ties if both teams cap both rounds

[scarlet shuttle]

Round 1 we failed at stealing the flag.
Round 2 they successfully stole our flag
Round 3 we successfully stole their flag in sudden death
Round 4 we successfully defended (if we did not, we would have lost the match)
Round 5 we successfully stole the flag in sudden death and it ended up TIE.

if we had lost any more round we would have lost the game.

[glacial tartan]

If you are a mouse and keyboard player the new MCC update appears to wipe all of your keybinds, just FYI

[scarlet shuttle]

In the end, we won more attack then they did.

[analog salmon]

yeah i mean i would just remove the overtime round and give you a tie in that match. no idea why it granted them an extra point though

[scarlet shuttle]

I wonder if it has something to do with the win being in sudden death 🤔

[analog salmon]

you didnt have equal chances at attacking and defending so it wasnt really fair whatever the outcome

[scarlet shuttle]

Yeah, but if we didn’t steal the flag in round 5, they would have won (or a bugged TIE as well)

[exotic vigil]

Anyone knows if the mcc update fixed the H2A campaign framerate issues

[ivory gyro]

It did not.

[exotic vigil]

Smh my head

[teal temple]

Hey I've been out of the loop with Halo for a while now. By any chance does MCC campaign cross play exist for nah just asking

[exotic vigil]

I think for halo 3 and ODST

[small goblet]

This ^

[teal temple]

Alrighty thanks

Finally coming back after burning my self out on reach legendary

Might continue it again

[small goblet]

I don’t know how you people do it and still have a wall left

[teal temple]

Wym

[small goblet]

Well if I had to do legendary I would be punching said wall a lot

[teal temple]

Ah

Im more verbal then physical

[analog salmon]

Loaded up metropolis
performance seemed solid
BSOD due to no memory

I have 32GB of RAM

[teal temple]

But after long night of Solace I needed a break

Way too easy to die in the sabre

[small goblet]

I mean at least it’s not laso or cod WaW legendary

[analog salmon]

Hopefully they’ve fixed the performance issues and the memory leak is next

[teal temple]

I guess yeah

[limpid saffron]

did the update come w double xp?

[teal temple]

I'm either gonna start exodus or go back to ODST and collect the last audio logs I cannot find

[serene furnace]

You can actually hide in a safe spot with the Sabre during the first section and you'll advance automatically to the next one

[teal temple]

Wow for me most of that first section was hiding behind anchor 9

[serene furnace]

Yeah that's the trick

[exotic vigil]

I’m on xbox

[analog salmon]

U might be in luck but I can’t test rn

I’ll try it on One X at some point

[exotic vigil]

Thanks dude if I get a chance I’ll say something

[sullen anvil]

I think there is a broken helmet in H3 because someone’s head was completely missing lol

[small goblet]

That’s a feature not a bug lol

[exotic vigil]

Find out which one it is and play swat with it

[sullen anvil]

true…

[celest heron]

ooh, CE plasma rifle stun fix

[analog salmon]

They added FSR for CE 2 3 and ODST

I assume FSR 2

Hopefully improves the AA

[crystal iron]

me redownloading mcc (boom 200 something gb install)

[cedar shadow]

If the game requires me to screen calibrate so often, wouldn't it be smart the reference like a screen calibration screen and not just random screenshots of the game

where would I post that as a recommendation

[analog salmon]

Its a bug but just remember what you set the brightness to?

It’s mostly preference too

[cedar shadow]

that's not the point, I am just saying like literally every other game has something like "adjust brightness until you can barely see the text." Can they change it?

[analog salmon]

Xbox has a screen for calibrating your display

Brightness in game is up to you

I’ve never seen a game with a calibration screen

Unless you just mean literally two shades of black you

[cedar shadow]

You've never seen a game say "adjust the screen until the text is barely visible" or similar?

what do you play? Minecraft and roblox only or something/

[analog salmon]

Yeah but that’s not gonna help you calibrate your display

[cedar shadow]

no its good to help you adjust your gamma

[signal ivy]

for that specific title*

[analog salmon]

It’s really just preference, your display should be calibrated to your Xbox or PC

[cedar shadow]

again it's better than rando screenshots of the game

[analog salmon]

It’s not if you just wanna adjust the gamma based on how the game looks

Which most people probably do

Some shade of grey isn’t gonna know what my eyes like to see

[prime bone]

there's a glitch in halo infinite where I can't level up or complete challenges after a match does this happen to anyone else?

[celest heron]

can someone play Gravemind with the scarab skull on and shoot the brute pr? I'm using it and not crashing.

[celest heron]

lul, teammate was crying about me not getting kills all game in social and then he sent me a message afterwards. Just sad. What's funny is I had less deaths than another teammate

[serene furnace]

Nothing out of the ordinary happens

[celest heron]

Nice, so maybe it's actually fixed

[small goblet]

Yea someone else also mentioned this earlier no fix other than restarting the game if that doesn’t work make a ticket

[prime bone]

oh alr thx

[small goblet]

No problem i just like helping

[lilac lichen]

Got into ranked match. Took 4 steps, Instantly booted to lobby and lost 15 rank points. Great servers smh

[raven pier]

Hey
Maybe I'm just dumb but where do you download the Excession Modding Tool?

[exotic vigil]

H2A on xbox still has abysmal framerate issues in game

[analog salmon]

Oof

They have added FSR to PC for Halo 2

So maybe they will use that to fix the frame rate on Xbox

It’s experimental right now

[exotic vigil]

I hope it works

[dusky nova]

playing a game of squad battle and the enemy team has 2 tanks while we have 0, such a non-game 💀

I mean seriously what even is this killfeed https://i.imgur.com/4XFX8rK.png enemy team had like 4 vehicles total (2 tanks, wasps etc.) and the only anti-vehicle weapon in our spawn is a single hydra

[analog salmon]

maybe tanks in 8v8 aren’t ideal

[dusky nova]

It was right at the start of the game too. At least in BTB they don't spawn until later into the game

They just got the early initiative at the start and then it was just a steamroll until the game finished because you can't do anything against that with 1 hydra on a timer

[small goblet]

Personally I think we need more skewer spawns like how the unsc sniper spawns on skarr

[crystal iron]

im loving mcc

[analog salmon]

If you’re on series X or S there’s apparently now a performance and quality option. Not sure if it’s just a 120fps toggle or if it improves performance at 60hz as well

Not sure if it’s on One X as well

[dusky nova]

It's just strange because the weapon spawns absolutely do not match what is going on with the vehicles in some games. I've been seeing commandos frequently come out of the aerial drops and anti vehicle weapons can be very scarce in some games of squad battle, and yet the map will be absolutely littered with vehicles? If one side gets the advantage on vehicle spawns in that situation the game is just DONE

[analog salmon]

A commando from a aerial drop is funny. I use to love the commando but post nerf it’s barely worth swapping bandit for

[dusky nova]

I didn't even know it was a thing to be honest, first time I've seen it.

[analog salmon]

Bamboozled lol

[small goblet]

100% like on the majority of the original btb maps you get random weapons spawns (always a hammer or sword) the people who hog the shock rifles don’t use it on vehicles we need at least one power weapon spawn for each side

[exotic vigil]

I’m on One X so I’ll just suffer lol

[analog salmon]

I think they should just have fixed weapon spawns for BTB, maybe switch up where they spawn

[analog salmon]

I feel man I was so disappointed when I got my One X and 2A was unplayable

[exotic vigil]

I cant even imagine on a regular xbox one

The console it released on lmao

[analog salmon]

It’s actually better depressingly

[exotic vigil]

Of course it is

Why wouldnt it be

[dusky nova]

BTB I've not had so many issues with. And just to clarify it's not every game of squad battle I get the issues I mentioned, just a few of them where the weapon spawns feel completely mismatched compared to the vehicles. If you're going to have tanks everywhere then you need sufficient weapon spawns to deal with that if possible

Again, with BTB at least the tanks don't come up until later. I think that was one of the changes they made after criticisms about tanks.

With squad battle they can just be there from the get go

[small goblet]

For me it’s mostly Valhalla the other similar unsc base map and the banished air weapon map

The rest I seem to have no problem

[analog salmon]

It makes no sense and it’s not even allowed. One X enhancements must perform as well if not better then the base Xbox One version, yet MCC doesn’t meet this standard

They should disable or reduce the enhancements

But 343 went to the effort of making Halo Infinite run close to 60fps on One X so it’s not that they don’t care about One X

It’s very odd to me they’ve left One X users pretty much unable to play 2A campaign for years

I’m guessing it wasn’t always broken or it wouldn’t have been approved by Xbox

[exotic vigil]

It wasnt before but theres almost nothing online from 343 about it from what I can find

Just “we’re looking into it” feels like another H3 shot registration thing

[analog salmon]

I feel like it’s just been forgotten about. I hope this performance toggle on Series X isn’t a permanent bandaid fix for that console and One X will just never get fixed but I’m not very hopeful after so long

I really don’t understand why they can’t just lower the target resolution, if it performs better on One S then One X, just lower the dang resolution. But who knows

[exotic vigil]

So did they just set the target resplution to be higher than what the X can do?

[analog salmon]

Seems like 2A isn’t very well optimised and the optimisation has gotten worse. For whatever reason this has affected performance on One X more so then the other consoles, perhaps because they are targeting something like 1800p

halo infinite only targets 1440p on One X

It might be fine if they just lower the resolution to 1600 or 1440

But I mean I would honestly take 1080p at this point, it’s better playable then not

[exotic vigil]

The punishment for buying a one x

[analog salmon]

Conversely Infinite is one of the few cross gen games that has a 60fps mode on One X. I’m sure that took 343 a decent amount of effort

[small goblet]

Don’t forget the ray-traced shadows lol 😂

[analog salmon]

Those are understandably Series X only lol

One X doesn’t have hardware accelerated RT

But One X does run Infinite pretty well

[small goblet]

I seriously can’t even tell tbh

With the shadows

[analog salmon]

I think they could potentially be quite transformative for campaign because of how sudden the drop off is with the conventional shadows

But will campaign get RT shadows? Who knows

[small goblet]

True if you got time to look at it you’d probably see it more especially since the Mp maps can be quite dark

[crystal iron]

Halo infinite has ray tracing?

[small goblet]

Shadows

[crystal iron]

oh

[analog salmon]

Tbf the RT shadows barely hit performance on my Series X in MP. The problem is the game doesn’t have working VRR so you really don’t want to drop frames at all

If they fix VRR, the cost of a few frames is frankly worth it for slightly better shadows, even in MP

[hollow remnant]

Does anyone know happened to those Auntie Dot and Mati AI's we saw leaked like a year ago?

[clear cedar]

why does it feel like any time I throw a nade, its a firecracker, and the enemies nades are all mini nukes

[white birch]

Thats the usual cycle. Been that way since Halo 3.

[dusky nova]

My memories of halo 3 is going back a bit, but I don't remember it being anything like what I posted with the link

[quasi finch]

Why doesn’t halo infinite look any better on s/x than it does on a one s or x

Mid optimization imo

[static snow]

anyone down for MCC?

btb, 4v4

[left snow]

There are three popular explanations. Depending on how paranoid you are.

1. Lag and/or desync.

2. A ploy by 343 stop you ranking up.

3. They reduced the radius of the explosions to reduce spamming. It now rewards the skill of a more accurate throw.

[tepid latch]

Nades at the start of infinite were a disaster with how big their explosion radius was! i remember you couldn't walk through a tight hallway without getting spammed to high hell

[low musk]

Just got to 22. Just a few more levels and I have my helmet

[analog salmon]

It does

It’s 1440p on One X so it looks pretty good in MP

But in campaign the resolution scaling goes down close to 1080p

Series X looks much crisper in campaign

At 60fps anyway

And then in MP Series X can hit 120fps and still maintain 1440p

[left snow]

Population sucks. MM is doing the best it can. Infinite desperately needs a match composer to increase the available population in the playlists.

The occasional whiff can be brushed off. No network game is perfect.

If it's happening a lot (the lobbies have an unhealthy range of pings) then you're better off adjusting your play.

The wait time for other bronze players would be considerable.

But I agree. Platinum lobbies are a bit harsh.

You just have to console yourself that sometimes it works in your favour.

[celest heron]

it's also both

I've been on both ends and I think not being able to get kills cause I'm playing against a 1600 onyx is a worse feeling. Then you get sweat lords getting mad at you. Blame mm, not me.

[gray ivy]

Ngl I wish the 8 player firefight was in regular matchmaking as well not just custom games

But the menu screens I can choose look so nice

[grave ether]

Your best soldier. You do your best.

[queen dagger]

I just want to play normal unranked play without someone who can't think and shoot at the same time

Squad battle is infested with people that genuinely cannot function at average. It makes the match awful for everyone else because you're basically down a player

[celest heron]

both teams will have those players and it's not as bad as 4v4 when you have one bad player imo. not saying it's ideal, but there's a little more leeway in 8v8.

[queen dagger]

There's so many of them. If they're not on my team they're on the other one

[celest heron]

cause it's a social playlist that requires more people so the skill restrictions are gonna be looser.

[dim jewel]

Well, there was a concept I saw for a Halo spin off title

[livid fable]

Holy cow the energy sword is done awful in campaign

glow in the dark toothpick

[left snow]

The MM isn't going to do that. That would be an average team MMR of 1050 vs 150

Unless you are specifically a squad of Bronze players and you are forcing the MM into no other choice.

[zenith holly]

This week on infinite so far has been awful, and the squad battles I'm sorry but my games have been all loses and garbage matches. Left a bad experience and I'm not gonna play that mode again.

[zenith holly]

It's hard for me to try to keep the mentality of playing the game for fun when I can't even have fun while being stomped and the odds being against you when you play against better players just so they can get a game going.

Its a never ending battle, I try to play on different times for a different experience but it ends up being the same, changing my settings to fix my aim but yet that doesn't work either so screw me I guess

[quasi finch]

Are you doing your qualifying matches

If so that’s why, it’s testing you to see if your at that skill level

Ranked isn’t the way to go if you’re trying to have fun

[zenith holly]

I'm playing social, I very rarely touch ranked

I mean I play quick play like you, when I mean social matches I mean games that aren't ranked

I mean I shouldn't be if people are playing the halo 3 mode when they can just go play halo 3 to get the literal same experience.

[analog salmon]

It’s just 8v8 with halo 3 maps, it’s not “the halo 3 mode”

Very different experience

[smoky wave]

The Halo 3 mode lol

[crystal iron]

They won’t get the same experience lmao

[signal ivy]

y'all are crazy, you don't remember sprinting/sliding and grappling in H3?

some of my fav Halo 3 memories are grappling up on the Last Resort wheel and using a Skewer to take out enemies

[small goblet]

Yeah I remember playing on the that bridge map just using armour lock and pushing people off with the repulsion

[full warren]

31 kills in a slayer and we won 50/49 lol. imagine getting a normal amount of kills and then we would lost so badly lol

[graceful mantle]

why is halo infinite eating my vram it normally doesnt do this

[full warren]

it uses 6GB for me of my vram DDDR6

Can not play any objective based game because these teams are just stupid, people don't even understand the rules like capture the flag or capture the zone I just see people camping in a corner next to the zone without campturing it... seriosuly give a tutorial to your new players isntead of just throwging them in the game

[analog salmon]

I lost arena slayer with 39 kills which I never thought possible

Then again I just wish more people played ranked so I could queue that more often

Probably a hot take but I don’t think 343 should make arena maps that don’t play well in ranked. It’s just making the divide bigger.

And thus discouraging casual but decent players from trying ranked

Removing maps from ranked that don’t play well after a season is understandable, but I don’t really understand why the only new dev map for ranked has been catalyst

And frankly the maps that are in both social and ranked are the best maps in social

It’s almost like maps being good for ranked are just good in general

[full warren]

I don't think people are turned off ranked by the maps, I just think people don't like ranked in general lol

[storm snow]

The maps in general are too big imo. I think they should make smaller maps or make arena 6v6

H4 in MCC has(had?) a 6v6 mode that played great and those maps are smaller than maps in Infinite

[analog salmon]

I think the lack of maps is certainly not helping

[grave ether]

You think the maps are too big for 4v4s? I can't imagine how hectic it would be if the maps were smaller. There's barely any breathing room as it is with constant non stop engagement

[storm snow]

You must be playing a different game than me. I can run around for a full minute sometimes without seeing someone on the enemy team.

[grave ether]

If that happens, start running around in the opposite direction

[zenith holly]

There's a handful of small maps especially when you respawn and already get shot at after taking just 2 steps forward

[analog salmon]

The game shipped with 4 imo amazing dev ranked maps which are also some of the best social maps;
Streets
Live Fire
Aquarius
Recharge

It’s odd to me they haven’t managed to ship another since launch

I liked catalyst and bazaar in ranked fwiw but I get why they were removed

To me Plaza seems like the only real love ranked has gotten. The Pit is good but it’s nothing amazing and frankly argyle is worse then catalyst and just an odd inclusion

[grave ether]

I only wish live fire had a few more cover points. It's a great map but sometimes it feels almost too open. Strong map overall though

[zenith holly]

What about the forge made maps? I did play that forge map that looked like midship when I hurt myself playing ranked

[analog salmon]

It’s better then argyle and I appreciate it but it was community made and it’s not really got much on bazaar or catalyst

Can’t remember the name either

And frankly detachment should never have been in ranked

[grave ether]

Argyle, imo, has the same issues as behemoth but inverse

[zenith holly]

Last night on infinite I felt burned out, and I struggle to keep up with it, I don't even know how to improve when everything practically fails

[analog salmon]

Argyle to me is just another catalyst / bazaar. It’s not terrible but it just makes no sense to me to add a forge map to replace a beautiful map like catalyst if it isn’t in some way obviously superior

[zenith holly]

Despite more cover, streets feels almost worse than live fire since you can't escape from grenades.

[analog salmon]

On streets think outside the box. Try to figure out where your enemy is so you can flank through the main street at the right moment

Otherwise you are predictable and will get naded

[grave ether]

Streets have given me some fun plays/flanks

It's got a great balance of open line of sight with cover to juke and surprise or recharge your shields

[full warren]

Yeah I much prefer smaller maps

[analog salmon]

It’s worth making plays you think might be too risky so you can learn better ways to move around the map

[full warren]

I just played vs a guy who had 0 movement, like I dont think he ever slide just walks around everywhere never sprinted.... but his shot was so accurate I was so confused

[grave ether]

High risk high reward, and ends up very satisfying. Or if you die it's pretty clear what happened

He's playing it like that old school no sprint halo. Respect

[full warren]

also his looks sens is like so slow lol, I am so confused what he is doing

[zenith holly]

I just don't know how people do it, I switch sensitivities and watch guides, can't even strafe dance, never mastered the whole left stick aim trick, pacing my shots so the bloom doesn't go crazy yet I still miss.

[grave ether]

Do you ever go into training mode and try to see if you are overshooting or undershooting your targets?

[full warren]

bloom in this game is so bad on mnk, until they added aim assist after that I was like OMG the pistol is actually amazing

it doesn't take 2 clips to kill someone

[grave ether]

I'm a terrible tracker but great at flick aiming. I noticed I was consistently overshooting my targets so I scaled back my sens a little until it was landing more where I was intending.
Doesn't fix all of my skill issue but it helped a bit

[zenith holly]

I do on both training mode and firing range and I don't know what needs adjustment, I've been switching settings to YouTubers preferences thinking it helps but realize it doesn't so I'm stuck with adapting to what I have

[full warren]

stop following youtuber's sens that is someone you gotta pick yourself

I assume you are on controller?

[zenith holly]

At that time, I mistakenly used settings that are similar to MCC thinking it'll be fine until I took advice to not do that since it's on a different engine

[zenith holly]

Yes, and still on Xbox one

[grave ether]

Is the overshoot/undershoot you notice possibly connected to your strafing? Like if you try to strafe with your target you overshoot but undershoot if you are going the other way?

[zenith holly]

I think so, it's something I haven't noticed cause my mentality has just been just when your reticle is on them unless you have an AR

[full warren]

it would be nice if in theater you can watch the bullet trails

to know where your bullets are going

[sleek hatch]

Lowkey, might be my bad, I'm coaching a gold/plat player. Helped him find his aim and told him to play slow and get a feel for when to play fast(he hasn't gotten the feel yet).

[full warren]

haha this guy was high diamond/onyx

[lusty wraith]

I know this’ll sound kinda dumb coming from a classic shill, but try to avoid sprinting as much as possible. I literally play the game like the older games, focusing on flanking, sight-lines, and mastering crouch-jumps; it’s really helped me become more methodical and measured

[sleek hatch]

Might know them. Was their shot insanely accurate like you couldn't beat them?

[lusty wraith]

It might sound reductive but I just think if you focus on placement over movement you’ll find some success

[small goblet]

Not dumb at all it’s better to be tactical than feed the enemy team kills

[full warren]

I send his name to you lol

[zenith holly]

I can try to not sprint as much cause I did have situations where I sprint and have less time to shoot back

[grave ether]

Someone earlier today said they lost a long range gunfight to someone standing still. I asking if they were strafe dancing but they never responded. I've stopped trying to dance completely and I'm winning more 1v1 shootouts now. The wiggle most of the time isn't even wide enough to escape the reticle so I'll gladly let them mess with their own aim dancing around me

[lusty wraith]

Yea I sometimes ask my teammates to stop sprinting everywhere since it literally broadcasts your location via sound and radar (<- in social) from significantly far away

[small goblet]

Just try and time it if you know an enemy is coming up get ready

[livid fable]

ranked is unappealing

[lusty wraith]

In Reach as well, I literally just avoid being near my teammates who sprint, the whole map can hear the heavy breathing in that game 💀

[full warren]

so true lol, sometimes just standing still and trust your shot is more accurate

and descope them more often

[sleek hatch]

Imo when you get so high up, it's not about who is more accurate, but who can outplay their opponent, get first shot, or even who hits the headshot first.

[small goblet]

Honestly it’s the reason we get so many bad players because they think it’s like cod you just run around and shoot when it takes more strategy and patience

[zenith holly]

I feel like Rambo from the first (or maybe second movie) when he's boxed in and struggles with life with the war being over when I can't crack it with infinite.

I look back at my old clips I saved up years ago, back then I could snipe and vibe without worrying about an AR hitting he off my scope at 75 yards, I could get killionares on halo 5 infection but not I can't even hold a decent tracking

[full warren]

but also you can't do crazy out plays since you can't just flip around and kill 3 people at the same time lol

1 v 2 unless they are silver or below you are goign to lose (without power weapon advantage)

[small goblet]

Or you get that 0.001% luck roll

[zenith holly]

I did read that part when you asked the guy about strafe dancing, there were guides I watched showing the strafe dance but I couldn't pull it off

[sleek hatch]

I've 1v4ed golds. It was harder but it's really doable

[small goblet]

Just spam b and move in an unpredictable pattern that’s all it is really

[full warren]

It needs be them shooting someone else, if they are all shooting you there is no chance lol

[livid fable]

I play mouse and keyboard. mouse and keyboard makes strafing a little bit more difficult unless you get more creative. keep left and right as your standard movement keys, but put your crouch onto your mouth and make it hold to crouch. focus on going left and right while making your right hand able to make you go up and down independently

[small goblet]

Depends what weapons your working with but a fair fight will always end in you dying

[zenith holly]

I don't have crouch on b I use recon layout

[sleek hatch]

I promise if you go play against golds and use equipment and runaway and disengage and use the Sandbox you will absolutely win against 4 golds.

[small goblet]

Just spam crouch basically i just say b as a turn of phrase

[full warren]

I mean sure you can but 80% of the time you will die before you get that over kill lol

[sleek hatch]

You'd be surprised lol. Try it out against low golds sometime

[small goblet]

It’s always better to stack the odds

[lusty wraith]

I find it nearly impossible to out-strafe anyone. Could be a skill issue but I find more success in unpredictable movement like dropping ledges or moving sporadically behind and out of any bit of cover around me

[grave ether]

I've been enjoying ranked slayer but I had to call out a jerk teammate the other day. He started chewing out the last guy on our team because he hadn't gotten any kills yet and was threatening to report him. Poor guy just sounded defeated saying "I'm trying my best here... You've died more than me already and the game has barely started"
aggressive guy: "At least I have kills. You aren't doing anything but wasting space"
Me: "He's actively trying, sometimes we all have a game that's rough. But it's ok, we can pull through this and try our best. Just need to coordinate a little better and not leave him behind"
Aggressive guy toned it down a little bit. Poor guy got some kills and came close to having a 1kd. We lost of course. But there's absolutely no need to ever get so salty because your teammate is having some bad luck and it's clear that he's actually trying and not griefing/throwing the match

That's what I find the most frustrating part of ranked. People that view their teammates as an enemy. You really think insults are going to make them play better and bring up morale?

[small goblet]

Honestly it depends on the person you fight some will get confused some will just wait for you to slip up

[zenith holly]

After going through ranked on overwatch, sounds about right on how it goes when players do the best they can in a situation but still get chewed out

[analog salmon]

Bruh first game of squads battle two afks. Before they got kicked other people already quit

Afkers need harsh bans man

[crystal iron]

That's the worst part about ranked, people quitting

[small goblet]

Sounds about right

[crystal iron]

Cause then you are just fighting a losing battle

[analog salmon]

If you get kicked for afking you should automatically get 10 minute ban at least

[zenith holly]

I've had matches on squad battle when at least 5 or 6 people leave the match and we get a few new players to join late game and we still get demolished

[analog salmon]

It’s not like the afk kick is strict, it gives you ages

[crystal iron]

Ranked doesn't allow any new players to join

[small goblet]

You all see why I don’t touch ranked tho because I don’t want to be that guy who gets frustrated then because of griefs then chew some poor kids ear off lol

[crystal iron]

Can the following be accomplished with scripting or will I have to mod: 2 teams choose one base each that they built beforehand before during it out in ctf

[thin elm]

jus win

jus win game

[crystal iron]

If they had loadouts it could probably be scripted, but in Infinite you might have to mod

[small goblet]

I mean you could pre place everything then set it to spawn when a player sets it the have a divider between the two teams on a timer

[crystal iron]

Oh true

[zenith holly]

Hey sky, when you mentioned about the undershoot/overshoot could that also apply to sensitivity?

[crystal iron]

I misunderstood

[small goblet]

No it’s ok

It’s basically not possible without pre placeing everything in forge

[grave ether]

That's the first thing I meant with it. If it's too high you'll notice you consistently overshoot. If it's too low you'll consistently undershoot

If you find yourself doing both, pay attention to how much moving around is affecting you and try to compensate from there

[dull bluff]

halo infinite

[zenith holly]

It's weird cause due to me going by guides on YouTube I've put it in the middle on all 3,

[grave ether]

Though to be honest, the sweet spot for me seems to change and feel off at times so idk

[crystal iron]

Movement affects a lottttt

[grave ether]

This has felt to best for me overall, but I do have my sens a little different and haven't edited those three settings. Let me pull em up
My Halo Infinite Xbox Controller Settings https://imgur.com/a/0kQB4hj

[small goblet]

Don’t forget muscle memory too sometimes you just gotta keep practicing until you hone your skills

[grave ether]

With those settings I'm currently playing at a
3/6/7 for acceleration/horizontal/vertical.

[crystal iron]

And that there is always a bigger fish in the sea

So don't get discouraged if you get wrecked a couple times

[small goblet]

Like I say anyone can be good at anything it just takes patience and practice

[grave ether]

https://tenor.com/view/qui-gon-jinn-bigger-fish-star-wars-gif-14009372

[crystal iron]

Was waiting for that lmao

[zenith holly]

Question, are your look dead zones supposed to be that low?

[crystal iron]

Any ideas for modding that might make it possible?

[grave ether]

As low as possible to where stick drift doesn't move it for you

[small goblet]

I’m a console only but I’m sure someone here can help you

[crystal iron]

You can still mod console games can't you?

I was planning to play on xbox

[small goblet]

Not through the console it has to be done on pc

Plus moding on console is so complicated it’s not even worth it without a dev kit

[zenith holly]

I also remembered a while back from recon 18 that fov affects aim, I think I made a mistake keep my acceleration at 3 but my vertical and horizontal are around 4/5 with 90 FOV

[small goblet]

Yeah fov will big time effect your aim

[grave ether]

Oh yeah! So that's why my sense is different now than that image. I went down to 92fov

[small goblet]

Especially if your eyes are adjusted to a certain range

[grave ether]

I mainly did it because my older PC was struggling a little at the 120 I had it on but I've gotten used to it now it feels like a sweet spot for me

[zenith holly]

Couldn't FOV also effect you if you're using either a TV or monitor?

[small goblet]

Not sure I’m currently only on a big tv

[analog salmon]

The long story short is fov sensitivity and deadzones all affect one another

I do think if you play 90-100 fov and lower your deadzones, the default sensitivity is probably solid. I just up the acceleration from 2 to 3

[small goblet]

Yeah mines on 3 too

[grave ether]

Idk, when I play on the Xbox on the 70in TV I sit like 2 feet away like a kid on the floor looking up so

[small goblet]

Makes those sniper flicks much easier on 3 I find

[grave ether]

I wish there was a 2.5 option for acceleration. Sometimes I find myself wanting to flip between 2 and 3 because they are both close but just not quite where I want it

Which is weird because when I first was playing infinite it felt better all the way up

[zenith holly]

Cause that's what I had it when I lowered my dead zones and have 90 FOV but kept my it to 3/4/5 or was it 3/5/4? Dang it now I gotta look back

[grave ether]

I'm extremely picky for such an average player lol

[small goblet]

Personally I wish I could set it per weapon because I need more control on a sniper than I do a sword or handgun

[zenith holly]

My question is it used to be up to 10 back on MCC, why did they drop that to half

[grave ether]

Idk, the scaling is so different

My halo 5 settings feel so good, I did my best to replicate that

[zenith holly]

Halo 5 isn't runned by the same engine as infinite right?

[grizzled copper]

Is this the right channel to discuss an issue im having with mcc?

[small goblet]

I normally just stick to around the default so it’s not such a big change per game I play

[grave ether]

Along with Apex. I played Apex the other day and aiming just feels good. Wish I could import that into infinite

[zenith holly]

I tried to replicate my MCC settings at the start, at MCC I had acceleration at 8 but kept vertical and horizontal to 7 while leaving the radical and axiel dead zones to 12 which I think is default

[small goblet]

Yeah I know what you mean I was playing Titan fall 2 and I can perfect aim while at 200 mile per hour but in halo fall over and My aim just goes to hell

[thin elm]

lol

[zenith holly]

I wonder if there's an aim training thing on custom game browser that can practice with the ping

[grave ether]

Nope. Even the zoom calculations aren't 1to1. XLR8 shared some great scaling information to make those feel better. I'm not sure I updated my controller settings image to reflect those changes I made yet...

[zenith holly]

Did he? I never saw that. Is it in the pins?

[grave ether]

I don't think it's pinned. Not sure if it was on Twitter or in a vid. I'll see if I can find them

[small goblet]

Same engine but it’s modified completely differently according to what I read

It’s like how sorce gold is much different to source

[grave ether]

It was for MKB settings but the scope multipliers work the same.
I just logged in and checked and that's what I had switched mine too.

Zoomed level for: 1.4 2.5 3.0
are all 1.4 where it says "3.0x sensitivity"
Zoomed level for: 5.0 6.0 10.0
are all 1.1 where it says "3.0x sensitivity"

I'm not sure what the defaults were but I know when I switched to this zooming felt much better and I wasn't overshooting scoped in anymore

[small goblet]

It’s is strange I only use one zoom level and that’s the default one

[zenith holly]

I left the zooms on default lol

[analog salmon]

XLR8 is a legend for breaking down this kinda stuff

Anyone playing on Pc who isn’t sure how to get best performance should check his stuff out

[small goblet]

Honestly to me it’s all foreign

[analog salmon]

He explains things pretty well I think

[crystal iron]

Do you realise your name says origonal and not original

[analog salmon]

Not just “use x y z”, he explains why you should so you understand

[small goblet]

O no he does but my brain is just like “one zoom boom”

[small goblet]

Yes that’s the joke

[crystal iron]

Can any modders here tell me if my idea is possible through modding? Scroll up

I guess I can write it again

Two or more teams select bases they built beforehand for a map, then Duke it out in ctf

[analog salmon]

Tanks on Valhalla

Basically whichever tank wins then gets to spawn kill the other team lol

[small goblet]

Honestly I just hate that map

[analog salmon]

I think they should have just stuck with the halo 3 vehicle spawns, two banshees and two wraiths

Don’t fix what ain’t broke

[small goblet]

Yeah that would make sense

Or at least add some turrets to counter you

Know

[zenith holly]

Yeah cause with the scorpion in play which is the the most powerful and somewhat easiest vehicle people can use makes the game just point and delete and I'm often the receiving end of those

[storm snow]

Scorpion spawn on Valhalla was in Halo 3 heavies and its magical

[analog salmon]

For me heavies in halo 3 was very hit and miss

Sandtrap heavies was epic but Valhalla has the right amount of vehicles normal

Tbh I just think bigger maps should have more vehicles and heavies shouldn’t really be a thing

Standard Valhalla still has more vehicles in play then any “regular” infinite btb map

Better to just have maps that allow infantry play like rats nest then have “light” and “heavy” BTB

[small goblet]

This we need more open big maps for vehicles to fight with side lanes that players can exploit aka blood gulch

[livid fable]

i'd say gulch clones rather than gulch direct

[livid fable]

when i say cancel search, and your stupid 'are you sure' pops up, and i hit yes, and it still puts me in a game, i just exit the game now. alt + f4. Saves everyone time.

[small goblet]

O yeah like a bigger newer version

[livid fable]

gulch prime was a product of its time. it had good aspects. we can magnify those aspects and diminish the negative aspects.

i think the long ranges make too much of a pure precision play though

[small goblet]

Cool idea have the original blood gulch in the middle then have the reach blood gulch futher out then have infinite be the biggest one so far

[storm snow]

Getting killed while fully behind cover in swat is just so demoralizing.

[shell wing]

I wonder. . . Since MCC got 8 player firefight. . . Is it possible with the custom firefight browser (i know with mods it is possible) but i wonder if someone could do a take on warzone?

Maybe even invasion with A.I. 👀 (grunts, jackals, brutes, marines and ODSTs) just so the teams of elites and spartans still feel like the leaders

[small goblet]

I know for a fact if it’s an option and the ai is good invasion is exactly what I’m gonna make

[storm snow]

50-22 when I'm supposed to carry but work called when the match started lol

[shell wing]

One system that would be rad as hell for an AI firefight would be y'know reach campaigns non existent "fireteam squads" expanding that to actually be able to direct the marines in your fireteam to areas in an AI invasion setting

[small goblet]

Yeasss like a fps halo wars two firefight

Ability to put down turrets and walls

[shell wing]

Yeah! Give it a little more of a tactical side

[small goblet]

Then have a mode like horde mode in gears of war where you play as the enemies

[shell wing]

Yep!

[small goblet]

So many possibilities

[shell wing]

I just think it would be sick to see invasion where you have your 6v6 but they all feel like squad leaders your 6 spartan players fighting along side marines, odsts and jetpack odsts while the 6 elites have grunts, jackals and brutes fighting along side them

[small goblet]

It would be so sick

[thin elm]

I have always wanted this frrrr

[shell wing]

And y'know for like balancing have the AI spawn 15-20 seconds after they are killed with the players on their usual 3 second respawn time

[thin elm]

I’d still play balanced or not

The idea is so cool

[shell wing]

Just so you aren't constantly bombarded with AI

Maybe 10 second timer?

[small goblet]

Apart from legendary mode where you just go full Nobel 6

[hollow bobcat]

In One Flag CTF, when a teammate is dropping/picking up the flag repeatedly towards our base, am I evil for grabbing it from them and scoring?

I mean, technically they dropped it. I just helped out by recovering it.

You may refer to #1075989764026675210 if you are in need of community based assistance. This is strictly community sourced and operated and is not staffed by any official members of the Support team.

For official support, you'll need to go to the Halo Support site: https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

Nobody answers there...

The most useless section in the whole server for a reason, after all...

[coarse dagger]

It's the correct place to post, people will answer if they can. We keep this channel clear for discussion

As noted above, you can also submit a support ticket

I'll keep waiting...

[fallow oar]

It's broken, clicking on "report a bug" brings me back to the "report a bug" page...

I miss the Bungie days

When we make maps on infinite for 343 to potentially use in matchmaking should we have copy protection on or no?

Straight up not having a good time in Infinite today. Feels like aim assist is off.

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON A TENRAI RENDER FOR 3 WEEKS

[low musk]

I really don't like BTB Slayer. Get enough guys killed, and you pretty much can box all the enemies into their base and it becomes like shooting fish in a barrel

[spring burrow]

I need help with my MCC, it keeps crashing on startup. I've redownloaded the game, verified files, checked for updates on my computer, and my game still hasn't worked.

It's just saying fatal error

[sharp summit]

Guys I need ideas to put sounds/song to play in game, I got an app and I binded pirates of the Caribbean to one

I need more

It plays smoothly through everyone’s head set/speakers so it’s nice

(Don’t worry I won’t spam it)

[crystal iron]

This right here would be game changing

I like

We can only dream

[worldly heart]

does anyone want to play halo 4 mcc multiplayer with me

im lonely af

[sharp summit]

I don’t think you need to have changing fov, you can change the sensitivity I think per weapon so its ok

[crystal iron]

I thought it was only heavy and light?

If I'm mistaken consider me guilty

[full warren]

lol, destroyed a 4 man after having 2 of my teammate quit turns out they were 1600 onyx 4 man team (except 1), and I had the disadvantage of playing on american server so 120ping,

kinda funny how bad they were, I don't normally face onyx players in team slayer since there isn't that many of them in the EU

I might see 1 every 50 games

ouch, they had a 92% win rate, we gave them their first loss in 12 games 😄

[grave ether]

Every now and then I'll run into an onyx that makes me think "how?" lol. I just assume they must be playing casually and leaning back in their chair. Otherwise it doesn't make sense to me that we appear to be equal in a gun fight and I should by no means be on the winning end of that battle after some of the other Onxy or even Diamond I've matched up against. Almost gives me false hope of my own skill level, haha!

[hollow bobcat]

Whatever happened to strongholds? Unless I'm not looking in the right place, I haven't seen it in a while.

[magic night]

It's in Quick Play and Ranked Arena, at this time.

The only two 4v4 objective playlists

[hollow bobcat]

I think they should just be standard objective playlist featuring strongholds, classic King of the Hill, oddball, and way more. It should replace quick play.

[magic night]

It would probably cause a big population drop to that playlist

Historically, objective only playlists have never done well in Halo.

Toss in Slayer, like Quick Play does, and it become more palatable for more people.

[hollow bobcat]

Maybe, but we already have like three or so different Slayer modes.

[magic night]

Team Slayer's the only permanent playlist that features normal variations of Slayer, though.

And while it would be nice, in theory, to have a dedicated place for just objective modes like there is for Slayer, it would probably erode matchmaking health a good bit since the objective playlists would attract much fewer people.

[hollow bobcat]

Unless I'm mistaken, we already have Team Slayer, social Slayer, and arena Slayer. That's too many.

[serene furnace]

Have any of you noticed that none of the current playlists in Infinite matchmaking include Launch Site?

[magic night]

Social Slayer is a rotational playlist and includes non-traditional variations of slayer that play differently from the standard mode. Ranked Slayer is also a rotational mode, and by it's nature of being Ranked also provides a different experience from standard slayer.

Social Slayer was also rotated out, so it's not currently available.

[serene furnace]

I had already noticed that Behemoth was drastically reduced
But Launch Site is straight up absent now

[magic night]

I thought I saw when I checked the playlists earlier today

Could be wrong though

[hollow bobcat]

Unless it's an issue with the engine being incompatible, I think one of the best moves that can be done at this point is mixing Halo Infinite with the MCC.

If people did not purchase MCC, they could still download it and play Halo Infinite multiplayer. Everything else you have to pay for in terms of campaigns.

UNLESS a decision was made to allow MCC's multiplayer games to be free to play (with the campaigns still requiring a purchase).

[serene furnace]

Infinite runs on a completely different engine

[magic night]

They had trouble enough adding Reach to MCC with memory limitations, adding Infinite would be a non-starter.

Also, just checked and Launch Site is in the Super Fiesta playlist.

[ruby knoll]

why would MCC go f2p

rn Microsoft can at least milk it for gold

if only there was a proposal last year that may have incentivized f2p MCC in a way that didn't affect gameplay whatsoever

Alas, we may never know

anyways Age of Empires 3 Definitive Edition with it's ~$10 of cosmetic mtx is getting frequent content updates with an upcoming update that gives every civ completely unique unit models

[hollow bobcat]

Just for multiplayer. It would greatly increase the player population. They would just have to increase the MTX to compensate a bit.

[ruby knoll]

so what you're saying is it won't happen

[quasi finch]

There’s two smurfs in my lobby. It was a silver lobby bc everyone on my team was silver and everyone on the enemy team was except for two of them which weren’t even qualified and both got 20+ kills with less than 10 deaths. I’m currently at silver grinding to gold bc I lost Al of my qualifying matches even tho I got more than 15 kills on all of them. I’m trying my best to rank up but I can’t win a single match bc my teamates always suck.

Nvm they were qualified I was looking at their rank in ranked arena not slayer

[full warren]

I won’t call them Smurf if they have no rank lol

[quasi finch]

They do

They are silvers both of them

[full warren]

You said they weren’t even qualified

[quasi finch]

I was looking at their rank in arena

Not slayer

I’m playing ranked slayer which is why I thought they had no rank

[full warren]

How many games do they have in arena if they have hundreds then I doubt they are smurfing

It could just be match making trying to judge where they should put them since they don’t have rank in slayer yet.

Give them a silver game a gold game a diamond game until they lose and put them where they belong on the slayer queue

[serene furnace]

Leaving aside all of this? Why you complaining?
Idk if nobody told you but, smurfing is 100% legal

[quasi finch]

They do

[full warren]

Also Smurf in this game puts you in the correct rank within 5 games lol. Since the second you get 30 kills in a game bam you are playing vs people a whole rank higher

[quasi finch]

Then I have no idea how a silver player is getting more than 20 kills with less than 10 deaths

[serene furnace]

They are good?

[quasi finch]

I’m just trying to rank up and it feels like every thing is getting in my way. Especially teamates, I’ll always have that one teamate with a -12 kda

[quasi finch]

They should be in gold or plat lobbies

[serene furnace]

You see people getting 0 deaths in social playlists, ranked shouldn't be that crazy

[quasi finch]

I’ve never seen someone with 0 deaths

[serene furnace]

I have

[quasi finch]

Unless they’re hiding all match and they def weren’t doing that

[serene furnace]

Even sometimes in BTB one single player getting over 40

kills

[quasi finch]

Well yeah I’ve seen that

I’ve almost gotten 40 before. I got 32 and it was only bc I was in a wasp the whole time n

[full warren]

I mean 20/10 is not even a crazy score line for the same rank. They just had a good game

I seen diamond lobbies where some people got 5-12 or 28-18

They are all within d2-D4

Also some people are just mechanically good but terrible objective players. I saw a guy with average 12 KDA who only players BTB and has a 32% win rate lol dude only knows how to get in vehicle and get kills and never play the objective

[shell wing]

I mean? that's sometimes all someone wants to do tbh

Not everyone is a fan of objective modes

[shell wing]

I'd hope the more maps they add to the game they do what MCC does and let you select the modes you want to que for You'll get less people only playing for kills in objective modes if that was the case

[thin elm]

i dont play btb for that reason

too little control with that many

prefer 4v4 by alot

[shell wing]

I really like the squad mode tbh

8v8 feels p comfy

[crystal iron]

I’m still figuring out the game

Does anyone know when we're getting Reticle Scaling based on your FOV in Halo MCC? like Halo Infinite Has

I’m not sure this is the first halo game I’ve played since 3

[crystal iron]

I like it I’m a noob tho

[shell wing]

probably lots of nostalgia with the halo 3 map remakes eh?

[crystal iron]

Yeah kind of now I was 10 years old when halo 3 came out so it’s been a minute😅

It is nostalgia tho

[shell wing]

I would have been the same age as you when halo 3 came out

I had some good times with 3 never got to do the online and stuff

[crystal iron]

I didn’t either just campaign

Halo infinite imo is good I enjoy it

[shell wing]

I'm a big Reach enjoyer myself

Infinite is pretty alright for what it is but there's still a lot of Jank they need to work out

[crystal iron]

Yes I’m unbiased because I haven’t played enough of it yet

[glossy carbon]

aye ill drink to that

[smoky stone]

Ranked Slayer longest wait time...why...could it be that the starting weapons are garbage?

[glossy carbon]

that and nobody cares for slayer despite objective gamemodes being bloody cancer to play

comp players be like

[real violet]

it's better variety though

i dont know how you can do 8,000 hours of just slayer

[smoky stone]

man, Halo infinite on PC has one of the worst ways to add friends...can't figure it out at all, why do you not get the option right after a match ends, to just click on someone's name and add?

[smoky stone]

unranked slayer is fun, but when it's ranked slayer and nothing but slayer, it's fun to try to play competitively. I love ranked arena, but there's times where I just wanna compete in slayer competitively, and I dont understand who the hell came up with the starting weapons.

at least do AR/BR.

[crystal iron]

Ranked Arena has always been only BR starts since halo 2. AR takes no skill

[smoky stone]

im saying, I love ranked arena, for what it is, but for Ranked Slayer, at least have AR/BR.

[crystal iron]

Ranked slayer has only BR starts are that's a great thing. AR starts take no skill. Ranked is meant to show your skill.

[smoky stone]

Ranked Slayer does not have ONLY BR starts...

im talking about the playlist

[crystal iron]

Ok the playlist is fine having AR starts. But ranked Arena shouldn't have AR starts

[smoky stone]

I never said it should lol

[small goblet]

But the br is just as easy to use lol

[crystal iron]

That's only at long range

[small goblet]

At any range you can’t really miss

[analog salmon]

he's saying he doesnt like the bandit in ranked slayer i think

and he wants BR starts or AR+BR

its weird how the bandit is seemingly the most polarising weapon in this game

i kinda wish 343 just made it a little bit OP at first so people would give it more of a chance and then maybe nerf it later

like a bit too much magnetism or AA so it better matches a BR at all skill levels

instead it feels like it has less magnetism then sidekick

[zenith holly]

The bandit does have somewhat of that cause and effect where it was less magnetism but has a steady or tight bloom. I'll admit it's annoying when you take out the shields then it becomes difficult to land a headshot with it

[analog salmon]

yeah its sort of the opposite of the sidekick which feels pretty easy to nail the headshot if you let the bloom reset

[small goblet]

O in that case agreed that gun is so pointless I switch it out the second I find a higher tier weapon

[glacial tartan]

This is so niche I’m going to guess it’s not even on their roadmap.

[full warren]

36 kills in a slayer and we still lost lol

guess 40 kills out of 50 is the new norm to win

[small goblet]

Nah you need at least 40 plus 10 assists

[left snow]

TrueSkill2 will start with a similar MMR from another playlist.

It would, or should, be safe to assume that it would use your ranked MMR, if not the individual Slayer MMR from Ranked.

[left snow]

Don't fall into the trap of blaming your team mates. I've been there - and it's a dark hole to dig yourself out of.

Try and think of what else you could have done to hold the team together.

You will get games where there is nothing else you can do. But you'll also get games where the opposition are easy pickings for the same reason.

Swings and roundabouts.

Just keep on trying to improve both your personal AND your team play.

[full warren]

well 36 kills and 3 assist = 39 and our team got 46 kills.. worst of all there was a guy who just stood there didnt move and shoot randomly with his AR when its a BR game... I been trying to tell 343 to introduce a tutorial but guess they are too lazy

force a 5 mins tutorial to tell people the basics of movement and shooting before putting them in a game

[left snow]

You should have to play 'x' number of games vs bots before you can go PvP.

It would have to benefit player retention.

[full warren]

Almost every game does it, I don't know why Halo does not.

When I loaded up on valorant I am sure i was put into tutorial

[small goblet]

Yep every game has at least one player with 1 kill no matter what you do

[full warren]

I mean this was peak bad, it was his first game, I just want 343 to know that no one had fun that game lol

I bet he hated it, he probably never going to play again

his just getting killed randomly he has no idea what happend

[small goblet]

Yeah and then everyone probably reported him and chewed him out

[full warren]

yay finally won a slayer with 30 kills lol. this time the 1/13 guy can move around

already an improvement

[small goblet]

O I don’t know it’s scary when they walk around lol

[full warren]

Must threw off the aim of those opponets because they expected people to stand still and shoot, as if its valorant LOL

[small goblet]

lol 😂

“But in cod if I shoot them in the head they die 😢”

[crystal iron]

I don't understand how it can even remotely be considered niche, high FOV on Mouse and Keyboard is borderline unusable, especially on Reach with bloom

While controller players get additional aim assist because the reticle is bigger making it much easier to stick onto players

[small goblet]

You can change the size of it in settings

[crystal iron]

Where?

[small goblet]

The thickness other than that it makes little difference

[flint wasp]

Guys does anyone still have screen flickering problems with halo infinite on series x? I tried turning off and on VRR but the screen still flickers randomly red and green. If so has anyone found a fix for this yet??
Edit: it only occurs when playing infinite, other games work fine.

i think i found out how to aim properly with a controller in infinite again

i hear a lot about aiming more with your left stick, but i found that my crosshair is wack when i see someone, so i end up adjusting A LOT while im firing, that doesn't really work with a controller though, so i have to aim at where the opponent is gonna be before i see them (if that makes any sense)

[small goblet]

Yeah it’s called tracking it’s how we get so good with snipers

Is my xbox dying or is this just another Infinite feature? https://i.imgur.com/VprILLi.png

Was it a forge map?
I had.... two matches I think, where the screen was white apart from the HUD

There's no problem with your HUD so I assume it's a similar situation

[storm snow]

Yeah it was kusini bay. It's happened on another 4v4 map but I can't remember which one so I don't know if it was forge or not

Just pulled up the support ticket, it was aquarius I think is the name

[vapid marten]

Okay, so a Forge map, sounds about the same what I had.
Mine hasn't returned since I got it those two times and it was ages ago, and I'm on PC

[empty rapids]

i don't think i will ever stop complaining about how dogwater the matchmaking is in quickplay

it's so unfair for noobs lol

[empty rapids]

looks like an xbox issue

might be overheating

[wraith willow]

i think i just got my best match in infinite ever (so far)
25 kills, 5 deaths, 6 assists

[empty rapids]

game has to stop pairing me with another high plat/diamond player and 3 noobs, it's so unfun lol

[sudden niche]

Geezer here. Where do I go to listen to this thing with Uny and Tashi?

i'm going to stop playing during peak hours if the game is just going to give me noobs on my team lol

[vapid marten]

I got the answer that Quick Play isn't a test of skill, and thus the matchmaker does what it does.
Then I tried Team Slayer and got the exact same results with the players.

[hollow bobcat]

There are no peak hours when the great majority of the population left.

[vapid marten]

Not a single game played where a player on my team hasn't left. No enemy player to leave as of yet

[hollow bobcat]

If the game modes for infinite had to be reduced in size to compensate for the population, what do you think should be permanent or improved upon in terms of game modes?

[vapid marten]

this is getting ridiculous, two more matches and three quitters on my team, none on the enemy

amazing, the person with their literally first match

[small goblet]

Just make sure you report them

[vapid marten]

I allways do

[devout kite]

I’m pump for catalyst to makes it return to rank

[low musk]

I do like the new map, Scarr.

Not vehicle centric, but at least it doesn’t feel like the typical 3 lane approach, and you can go above and below and still find good footing to take on an enemy. Currently at 28 in the BP, got my TRENDLOCK, but my next goal is to get the chest piece at 48 next

[small goblet]

Honestly we need more maps like scarr

[crystal iron]

Scarr is the best btb map

[small goblet]

We need less Valhalla and that other unsc base map the one with big hole in the middle

I really hope this game gets money to upgrade the servers at somepoint

rubberbanding on a wired connection is extremely frustrating

[balmy coral]

what is the best game mode to do the ultimate challenge in it?

[shell wing]

I really want to like infinite and i do like it when it works but it's really hard to with some of the issues the game is still having throwing fusion coils and grenades through windows but them hitting the wall somehow is just not very fun. . .

[small goblet]

Yea the amount of coils I’ve hit the wall with is not fun even tho it’s a wide open door way

[shell wing]

mhm

I just shot a guy in the head with a sniper who was going off a grav lift saw it hit him in the head directly

and just. . . nothing not even his shields being stripped

just makes a lot of it disheartening

[small goblet]

I’ve noticed it’s getting worse each day

Earlier I hit 400 ms on fibre optic

[shell wing]

it seems to be fixed in an update then break again with another update

[small goblet]

Pretty much that’s spaghetti code for you

[shell wing]

I'm gonna clip it my theater shows the shot hitting this dude in the head and just vanishing

I have two versions of it in theater somehow

what i saw and what the server saw

why are there two different theaters?

[small goblet]

I have a clip of me getting a rocket kill with a shotgun even tho I didn’t have a rocket or kill the person

[small goblet]

Is there?

[shell wing]

seems to be

I recorded the same clip twice

and they both go differently

one shows what the server saw which was me completely missing

[exotic vigil]

Master chief in the books

[small goblet]

343 trying to cover it up

[shell wing]

and it shows what i saw which is me hitting the guy with the shield impact and no damage

[small goblet]

Hit reg is off

[shell wing]

its the hit reg and the servers
