halo-discussion

[zealous panther]

Also 343 probably need to change bandit spawns on the maps, rn they just give you ammo which you usually don't need

[tribal jasper]

Idk, it can probably can be changed to be this proximity alarm weapon, where you fire it on surface and it stays here for a while, damaging in a wide area (tho damage wont be that big)

Increasing dps is a dangerous game, gun has decent range and no recoil, if it had good damage it will genuinely become a power weapon (look at campaign modification for example)

[zealous panther]

I feel like this is just "never pick up weapon" right now. Just like plasma carbine

[tribal jasper]

Maybe each shot could create an electric point that if in close proximity of another disruptor point create a lightning ark, tho connection distance must be reasonably short

[civic sundial]

The electricity already arcs between weapons and equipment left on the ground

And players if they stand too close to one another

[zealous panther]

Idk maybe something like rawager charged shot?

[smoky wave]

The best interaction btw

[civic sundial]

I love it too

[smoky wave]

You can get some funny plays right there

[civic sundial]

Yeah

Just a shame the Disruptor itself isn't a great pistol

Like, electricity based weapons are something that I love allot so seeing it be so bad makes me sad

At least the Shock Rifle and Disruptor variant are good

[tribal jasper]

Those are ricochet hits, I mean actual lines of lighting that are visible, can be placed on any surface and stay in place long enough. Like electric bolts from DRG

[civic sundial]

The weapon doesn't have ricochet

[tribal jasper]

Shots bounce from players and weapons, you said it yourself, lol

[civic sundial]

Arcs between players and weapons

That's not the same as shots ricocheting

That would be stuff like the sniper rifle shot bouncing off of a surface at a certain angle in older games

[zealous panther]

I mean we have ricochet weapon in the game

[civic sundial]

Aye, the Heatwave

[tribal jasper]

Man, I watched th videos, I tried it myself there are no real archs with disruptor, damage just bounces from one point to another (player's, weapons, etc).

Now if you look at this, this is an actual in game lightning ark type of weapon https://youtu.be/XXdQIJ9521Q?si=MQLmpddxuiaN2K1D
Time code 6:48

A visible electric connection between two points, that also deals damage.

One of my suggestions was to make disruptor work similarly to this example. The linking distance should be shorter so that you cant just create a full hallway of ceiling to floor connections, and maybe with a bit reduced rate of fire.

With this you can create damaging area on the terain that wont necessarily deal significant damage but will for sure make you aware of someone crossing this area and make a nice damage support option

[tribal jasper]

Easier to implement option is to make it leave proximity damage area like campaign onе, but with bigger radius and less damage, and firing a new "lightning point" that overlaps with already existing one, will destroy it so you can't just stack damage areas creating hallway of death

[lapis zenith]

Hello

[sturdy bronze]

Is it impossible to play rank at this time

[civic sundial]

Because that's what arcing electricity is. It seems like what you want is for the weapon to be some sort of trap laying weapon, which doesn't really make sense for the Disruptor for what it's meant to be. It needs a rework but if we're getting an electric trap, it'll be better if it's a new weapon designed around that function than taking the Disruptor and making it into one

[tribal jasper]

It still EMPs vehicles in BtB, and it is kinda "disrupting" enemies movement throughout the area, so I don't any issues with identity conflict.

We definitely don't need old disruptor where it's just a dps pistol with a few gimmicks.

Also, not related but, plasma pistol overcharge should also EMP vehicles, at least airborne ones

[zealous panther]

In btb this is great weapon. But the problem is that ranked maps have a lot of them... And like... Why would I use it over literally everything

[vocal basin]

Super husky raid needs to go

It can go to the rabbit farm

[zealous panther]

Why?

[vocal basin]

It’s just worse than regular husky in every way. And it’s the only mode it’ll let me load into today for some reason

[tribal jasper]

Is it just me or halo 2 has peak battle rifle, that never got better in later games ?

[zealous panther]

It just have first.

[tribal jasper]

Like I started halo2 leg playthrough yesterday, and cairo station was the best battle rifle experience I got, Im shabby on remembering how exactly halo3 br felt , but it leages above Infinite's one (halo 4 br is a joke)

And that's odd, Infinite's br looks cool, and not necessarily sounds bad. But it just feels not as satisfying as its source material

And it's not entirely because of fire rate being lower, breacher variant feels the same same way

[terse gazelle]

Infinite Br felt pretty good to use

[zealous panther]

Probably because of how famous noob combo in h2 with all this plasma aim

Honestly I think infinite br probably the best out of all. I like how it looks, how it sounds, how it punches just a little bit visually. H2 now feels like weightless brr brr brr brr

[tribal jasper]

Idk maybe firing one or two bursts doesn't feel bad, but it gets progressively worse the more you have to fire it, and here it's actually probably because of low fire rate

maybe

I'm not a game guns expert, probably should watch only one YouTube video to "become" one

[zealous panther]

Even with how much I love h2, and trust me I love it more then any other halo, I just can't compare this. Infinite br is just... perfect, 2 years and I still enjoy this metallic sounds of the shots, this little climb of the burst, the methodical rate of fire.

I want SMG return...

Even if this is just skin

[civic sundial]

The SMG would need to be its own weapon, nothing in Infinite is quite like it

But yes, please give me back the SMG, I miss it

[zealous panther]

I just like how SMG looks. Because I love halo 2. In halo 2 this weapon sucks anyway so I will be ok even if this is skin

[tribal jasper]

I listened through all the versions of br, I found it, Infinite burst feels too slow, the delay between separate shots in burst is too big.

[zealous panther]

It is just right. This is not automatic weapon

Or maybe I played h2 too much I kinda getting sick of all this brrbrrbrrbrrbrr

[analog salmon]

ig i like infinite's BR as the DMR of the sandbox, but not as a starting weapon

but i also hate the sidekick wayyy more as a starting weapon

hard to really say how 343 could have approached it differently cause infinite plays so different to other halo games

im sure they looked at different BR and pistol ideas

ngl i think a lot of people are just furstrated they dont have a strong AA precision weapon from the spawn in ranked any more

and there's nothing really 343 can do about that, making the starting weapon require more skill to use is always gonna annoy a portion of the playerbase

[zealous panther]

Imagine standard bandit starting

[analog salmon]

we had it in ranked slayer and it was decent honestly

just made precision pickups too OP on maps with long sight lines

BR starts just discouraged more enjoyable playstyles, getting absolutely melted if you take any kind of risk with open areas

rn people are still adjusting to being able to actually tranverse maps in ways you couldnt before

and for me ultimately doesnt matter what a weapon sounds like if it makes the game more enjoyable to play and watch

[zealous panther]

I would strongly prefer standard bandit starts. At least I would love to try it

Rn I just... I just hate reach too much.

[analog salmon]

lol im kinda the opposite, a more competitive focused reach is the peak for me

since i have notalgia for the game but im much more into competitive then social now

[zealous panther]

Competitive my backside. Dmr with their bloom + armour abilities is just... probably the reason why h4 became h4

But then again a month ago I bought legendary edition of halo reach in great condition so I still love this game even if it's destroyed franchise.

[analog salmon]

a more competitive focused reach wouldnt have bloom and armour abilities

literally the hardcore mode

but the game lacked competitive dev maps

[keen scaffold]

IIRC bungie didn't really like comp that much, despite MLG getting its start with Halo 2.

[analog salmon]

it was a social game and back then i was a very casual player so it worked for me

so for me Infinite taking stylistic queues from Reach but being a much more competitive title is pretty nice

[keen scaffold]

Is that why we have the MA40 and not the objectively superior MA5D?

[analog salmon]

though i do think they're making the same mistake with most the post launch dev maps being unsuitable for ranked

you can argue a map like midship is unfun for social players, but pretty much all the maps in ranked are just good maps

some arena maps not working in ranked is understandable but 4 out of 7? seems a bit much

granted forge maps in infinite are not even close to as bad forge maps in reach were

[zealous panther]

I must admit that in ranked rn I kinda ok with most maps.

[hollow ingot]

guys, its been about 3 months since iv last played Halo Infinite, came back 2 days ago and iv noticed that the loading screen when you first launch the game (with loading bar down the bottom) takes about 10 minutes to get me into the main menu, i tried verifying game files, relaunched steam but nothing seems to be working for me, is the problem on my end ? thanks

[analog salmon]

latest nvidia driver is the issue

[silk solar]

Does infinite rank reset seasonally ?

[velvet dawn]

I love the new Ranked Slayer playlist. Is it only expected to stay for this season? I would love for it to be a permanent playlist. Any info is appreciated. Thank you!

[neon vapor]

Career rank or competitive rank?

Career rank doesn’t reset at all, competitive ranks do.

[grim swan]

Wait when does uh firefight come in infinite?

[grim swan]

Csr doesnt reset

[sullen kiln]

Firefight: King of the Hill is scheduled to come later in Season 5, per the release trailer and announcement

[twin crag]

[velvet root]

Is there a way for me to turn off cross play between Xbox and PC on halo infinite ? I'm tired of controller players ruining my experience no offense to controller players by the way

I just got into a game and I already lost and I'm already frustrated

I just want to have fun but I got the feeling that controller players don't let me

[crystal iron]

Are people still complaining about that 2 years later? I'm on PC and use controller but occasionally lose to keyboard players. Its all about skill level.

[velvet root]

Right sorry I think I got carried away by my anger, I want to get better but I don't know how, how am I supposed to practice ?

[onyx imp]

true ture

[velvet root]

and sorry if I offended any controller players here and anyone else

I'm tired of losing games

[low musk]

Have you been adjusting your settings? I’ve been fiddling h with my controller and it’s made a massive difference.
Not losing as many 1v1s as of late

[velvet dawn]

It's okay. I'm a console mouth-breather & would prefer to not play against PC people.

[velvet dawn]

What kind of "fiddling" did you do?

[low musk]

Sensitivity, dead zones, and acceleration mostly

Before, my controller was very stiff with all my inputs, but now it flows more with my thumb stick inputs

[velvet root]

well I did, low sensitivity high sensitivity I used to play on controller I was having sensibility issues on controller and also I wanted to learn how to use mouse and heyboard but I guess I made the situation for me worse

[velvet root]

thanks

[velvet dawn]

I do love the Ranked Slayer playlist so much. I feel like they crushed it with how it's built. I just hope it never leaves the rotation (even though I eventually expect it to)

[velvet root]

i think I'm going to switch back to controller and try to get better there

[crystal iron]

I love HALO

[hot axle]

Tired of playing on PC and matching with console players sitting 10ft away from a Tiny 720p TV and no sound

[hot axle]

Other explanation is they lack sentience

[crystal iron]

Well sadly not everyone can be as good as you 👀💀

[hot axle]

I expect a certain level of competence that this MM has just not been providing

We're in Diamond, if you haven't learned sound cues and pings by then - what are you even doing?

[crystal iron]

(Flips through notes)
Having fun? Just a guess though.

[hot axle]

Keep that in the non-ranked playlists

[crystal iron]

You know video games are for fun right? You can’t force someone to be a sweat lord.

[hot axle]

so go play Mario party

Is team snipers on halo infinite infested with cheaters or something? Back to back dodgy gameplay with suspicious accounts

[knotty ermine]

Is this season the only chance to get master chiefs kit or is it going to stay in the hero rank?

[coarse dagger]

The reward for Hero rank will always be there, no matter the season

[wraith willow]

snipers in Infinite require practice, the team snipers playlist has people who have perfected the art

[violet gust]

I mean bronze seargent that goes 35 kills to 1 death against plats and golds

@wraith willow

[zealous panther]

This is f2p game

[violet gust]

Yup, and its a shame that it means more cheaters 😔

[crystal iron]

That's not a cheater but rather someone on a smurf account

[hexed plume]

Late reply but I play on KBM as well, I use 800 dpi + 1.5 sens for normal crosshair, 1.4 for smart link and 1.2 for br/bandit scope

It really just comes down to practice, I ran the octagon map against bots to get used to the bandit and now i'm pretty comfortable with it

[twin crag]

could be a smurf

[low musk]

Its not just about sensitivity. I actually had to do a bit of research how every value affects how we aim and how it effects the responsiveness of the controller. Once I started adjusting things to respond to my inputs, I've been slowly getting kills. Like before, I never used sniper rifles since I missed at close or at far ranges due to how fast another player moves. Now I can no scope enemies (2 shot) alot more effectively since my inputs react so much more to another player. Even weapons I struggled with before like the Heatwave or Bulldog now allow me to burn away targets without too much trouble. After that point, its just about me trying to lose some of my bad habits, like not jumping during firefights

[velvet root]

got it, thanks

[violet gust]

Looking back, they were locking onto every player so I'd say cheats

[serene furnace]

You can't cheat on Xbox

[twin crag]

Not looking back, but guessing, still could be a very good smurf

[violet gust]

I mean theater clips

[twin crag]

I dont think I would consider theater to be a reliable source but that's just me

[violet gust]

True, but it is like, really obvious, looking at their gameplay compared to the rest of the team

atleast 1 playlist as this bandit evo is horrid for m and k

Bandit has just been brought in, if they decide to swap back then it's not going to BR for some time

Need to wait and see how it plays and what the feedback is like

[regal meadow]

Where can you send in clips

but where should feed back be given

there are multiple changes that would benefit the bandit like getting rid of the outer circle on reticle and make it 2 shot body

the gun is just worse to use then the br on m and k

ive been grinding ranked and its so much worse. going from onyx on m and k with br start to gold with this gun is bs

[bitter belfry]

Frank, you’re getting upset over new Halo. It’s a completely different beast from old Halo.

Not saying I disagree with you, but you’re not going about it wisely to try to change things the way you are. This server, which is reflective of new Halo culture, is how it is and won’t be changing.

[ruby knoll]

ET for the Atari 2600 says hi

always hilarious how halo kids pretend that they experienced some nonexistent golden age when they helped contribute to the state of the industry today

i mean it's not just halo kids that pine for a fake bygone era where companies supposedly released bug free games with no cut corners but still

can't wait for the blogpost that's about to drop

[stoic sapphire]

I think people’s perspectives on what is constructive or not widely vary.

Constructive can be blunt/straightforward and to the point, but it should have some sort of solution to that. I think a lot of people get hung up on things not being dressed nicely and insist that constructive feedback is just nice, but that’s not true lmao.

For example, the public relations of 343 is abysmal and sucks, as there is obvious placating to a particular side of the fandom than there is to the whole of it. As a result, there’s either diehard 343 loyalists who will declare that 343 can do no wrong, or people that want 343 and everything associated with it scorched earth’d. I believe 343 would be better off genuinely listening to the complaints of those that vehemently dislike them, gathering input from said complaints, and work to address them, if only as much as “we hear you and will do what we can to resolve this” regarding issues with legitimacy and are actionable. Faux demonstrations of “muh wholesome chungus” while immediately discarding people with opinions or perspectives counter to what 343 want their audience to have regarding Halo aren’t beneficial, and serve to actively create lines of division between the fandom.

This is what I believe constructive criticism to be, but again, many people would say it’s not nice or too blunt and, ergo, not constructive.

[ruby knoll]

there's the blogpost

i wonder if you're the guy who thinks 343 controls the r/halo cesspit from the other day

[coarse dagger]

If you think 343 doesn't list to and read comments from people that dislike them, you would be very wrong :)

Feedback is collated from a variety of sources, both positive and negative

[onyx latch]

I don't think feedback coming from a place of malice is usually all that helpful.

[misty vale]

I think that too much halo feedback is just nitpicky, when the large problems which make this game an unserious, but fun, shooter should command laser focus

Cosmetics have almost nothing to do with what makes this game frustrating. If a player is ever frustrated with the cosmetics in this game they should take a serious look at why they even play.

But I feel like the majority of complaints are about the cosmetic systems

[ruby lake]

meow

[vivid light]

I have friends that won't play again until shoulders are cross core

[misty vale]

I was confused, for MONTHS, what all this dsync stuff was about...until I played a game away from my home Internet. The netcode in this game is a joke, it's not suitable for competitive play.

[misty vale]

Wild. You see them in the intro, and the outro, and no other times. Literally who cares

[stoic sapphire]

Malice is different from contempt and frustration.

For example, it’s a very clear bump in the road between fans like myself and being more fond of 343 when they outright embellished or outright lied about details regarding the state of Halo before and after the launch. Usually, when these items are brought up (ex: how the new color system would provide “millions of combinations”) they are either vehemently denied by the diehard 343 fans or otherwise shut down as “negative criticism”, yet this is an actual quote from an actual employee actually representing 343 in a professional capacity. We were lied to, and there was no acknowledgement of this.

Cosmetics are debatable, but being told one thing and having another happen - especially on hot button topics like whole changes to the system of the game - are incredibly frustrating. An example of this impacting our relationship with 343 is when that one attendee at the most recent playoffs was talking about how he was hoping there will eventually be campaign DLC and he was immediately and curtly cut off from talking. It was explained as the presenter “making a joke”, but with the fact we’ve been lied to without apology from 343 in any official capacity, it comes off more as 343 refusing to admit they messed up rather than someone pointing out they made a social blunder. People should not be made out to be “malicious” when there is a track record of 343 public relations dropping the ball and over promising or embellishing the state of Halo time and again.

[pine lava]

completely off topic but what are you guys doing for Halloween??

[misty vale]

Aight here's the skinny: this game is a gamepass tentpole. That's reality. Water is wet. It exists because they needed folks to sign up for gamepass and priced this sucker at $60 to make it easy to sign up.

I would not be surprised if they looked at the $10s of dollars people are going to spend on campaign DLC and the $100s they do spend on cossies and made a very easy business decision.

This is the exact stuff I’m talking about.

It isn’t whining. I’ve been a fan since I was 6 years old back in 2003, only two years after Halo launched. I’ve been around for it all, certainly longer than most. I’m bringing legitimate criticism and feedback to one of the official places that 343 has available for feedback for a franchise I grew up with.

It’s vexing that people like yourself tout the amazing things 343 does - to include this supposed fight against the same “rubbish” that someone else was just called out for - yet immediately dump on anyone who brings criticism to 343.

[bitter belfry]

You don't deserve respectful feedback if your feedback isn't constructive nor respectful.

[ruby lake]

yknow, there's something i dont get

[stoic sapphire]

Then deal with my whining. Point out what in my feedback isn’t constructive

Otherwise, deal with it

[pine lava]

and that is?

[onyx latch]

All of it.

[bitter belfry]

Dude typed an essay how is it not constructive? Because he didn’t praise 343i in his criticism?

[onyx latch]

Essay does not a constructive make.

[stoic sapphire]

Cool. How bout you just block me, then? Mods haven’t banned me, so it clearly is constructive

[pine lava]

an essay would be longer than that sir

[onyx latch]

Mods don't ban people just because they aren't constructive.

[bitter belfry]

He made points and gave solutions to them what isn’t constructive about it?

[stoic sapphire]

Then block me, bud

[onyx latch]

No.

[coarse dagger]

There is a large difference between:
"This thing sucks and I hate it and 343 are bad"
vs.
"I don't like X, I think Y would work much better or perhaps Splitting X into Z and A"

That's the point I've been making

[onyx latch]

If you need to beg me to block you, you are the one who needs to block me.

[bitter belfry]

I agree with you

[stoic sapphire]

You’re the one complaining about me

You got my attention now, dude

[coarse dagger]

Please turn off the ping/ tag before replying. Thanks

[onyx latch]

And you clearly don't want mine.

[bitter belfry]

I thought I did

[pine lava]

its funny how frank freaks out because Ardent types a lot for explaining something

[stoic sapphire]

I find you annoying and representative of everything wrong with the new Halo fandom, that’s for sure.

You bring zero to the table. You don’t address in any way whatsoever how I’m not being constructive, you just say it’s all “not constructive”.

Either be productive or quit complaining about me. You’re prior service, so I know you’re smarter than this.

[onyx latch]

Some people are not used to people typing long winded statements over pedantic things like trying to say how '343 threw muh favorite franchise in a woodchipper' isn't whining. If it isn't whining, it's about as infantile and teaches about as much. It may not be whining, but it's kissing cousins.

[coarse dagger]

OK Frank, if you agree with what I'm saying, you can rewrite this into something more constructive

[onyx latch]

Awwww, I'm flattered that the old guard considers me the epitome of everything wrong with modern Halo.

[bitter belfry]

PM stckr

[stoic sapphire]

You’re the one that wants the dang line in the sand.

And for the record, Frank Brusca got a message deleted for not being constructive. I didn’t

[onyx latch]

Yeah, that's a real gold star there.

[pine lava]

this is getting entertaining

[coarse dagger]

No

[bitter belfry]

^ I’ve got it in the record

[sullen kiln]

For server moderation concerns, please message @upbeat plover.

[bitter belfry]

I’m asking for your help stckr

[stoic sapphire]

So your disagreeing with admin perspective. If mine is still there, with a mod watching our convo, im not in the wrong

[coarse dagger]

You can DM Modmail

[ruby lake]

the halo fanbase has existed for a very long time

yet the fans within it just endlessly complain about stuff like uncivilized toddlers, pointing at one another and striving for fake internet points.

their ego is what fuels them and i just watch them type a endless line of paragraph after paragraph. their minds consist of nothing but negativity, not pausing and thinking about rationalizing their thoughts. only saying "343 this" "bungie that". those folks are grown men yet im still surprised of how they act. the more complaints i watch, the longer the feedback will be soon to be applied to the recent halo title and future ones.

[coarse dagger]

My DMs are closed

[ruby lake]

but idk, im just some gal who's on the internet who rarely thinks

[misty vale]

Am I allowed to tell Ardent that I was being paid to play halo when he was in diapers

[ruby lake]

???

[onyx latch]

And they aren't doing anything to me, so I'm also clearly not in the wrong by your own logic.

[coarse dagger]

I think it's about time we shift topics now

[ruby lake]

yes.

[bitter belfry]

Jesus

[coarse dagger]

This has been entertained long enough

[pine lava]

mhm

[stoic sapphire]

I never said you were in the wrong. Jesus.

[pine lava]

typed

[ruby lake]

ok

[pine lava]

different topic now?

[ruby lake]

discord drama be like:

insert gif of 2 clowns fighting eachother

[stoic sapphire]

I said I was leaving it there

[ruby lake]

yeah

[onyx latch]

Kinda, yeah.

[ruby lake]

i couldnt send a gif

[onyx latch]

Except they're very adamant about not being clowns. Despite one squirting the other in the face with a lapel flower.

[stoic sapphire]

You’re the clown, too, friend. We’re both losers that argued on the internet.

[bitter belfry]

Get back on topic heathens this is a halo discussion channel

[pine lava]

dont tell some of us what to do frank

[ruby lake]

master chief hates me

[onyx latch]

Follow your own advice from earlier if you can't stand me making light of the topic.

[stoic sapphire]

Light on a very passionate topic we just got out of? I’m a loser, not stupid. Don’t wet on me and tell me it’s raining

[pine lava]

thats a weird thing to type

[stoic sapphire]

Ok

[ruby lake]

uh whaaat

[pine lava]

lol

[ruby knoll]

reminder that sgt ardent thinks 343 shut down r/halo

oh no am i gonna get blogposted at

[serene furnace]

Honestly good

Reddit should disappear altogether

[pine lava]

any topics?

[stoic sapphire]

Something we can all agree on hopefully lmao

[ruby knoll]

forge

[serene furnace]

I have less negative things to say about DeviantArt than I have about Reddit

[sullen kiln]

You can all talk about mighty, powerful and awesome that I am and how puny humans are

[bitter belfry]

These bots say the darndest things

[pine lava]

i say Noble six is alive but somewhere

[serene furnace]

He is, in your heart
Everywhere else he is dead

[ruby knoll]

he's here, also there

a bit over there too

[pine lava]

itd be odd but cool if the rings that you see in infinite just randomly spat out Noble six and helping chief with something lol

[serene furnace]

But, he's dead...

[pine lava]

bc way back then everyone loved Noble six

[serene furnace]

Are people still angry that the Rookie was killed in a book lol

[pine lava]

i never read the book..

[bitter belfry]

If the last 5 years of movies have taught me anything, no one who died when a franchise was supposed to end can’t be brought back by some magic

[serene furnace]

That ruins the impact of any death and makes it meaningless

[pine lava]

doctor strange magic lol

[bitter belfry]

Tell that to movie makers lol

[pine lava]

i hate the new Halo series

[serene furnace]

Luckily they haven't brought back Tony Stark
And if they come to their senses, he will never be back

[night rain]

Reminds me a lot of how I was treated two years ago when I spoke up about the issues the coating system would bring, in a since deleted channel

[bitter belfry]

Pretty soon they’ll give halo the Modern Warfare treatment and just start over

[stoic sapphire]

I’m leaving it alone, man. I’d advise the same.

[serene furnace]

There was literally a reboot talk 2 months ago where 343 said they won't be rebooting it

[bitter belfry]

^

Wellllllll we just finished a convo where 343i says a lot and does a lot different soooooooo

[pine lava]

well if you pay attention in big hero six i think, but on a table theres like a tape thingy that said tony stark

[bitter belfry]

But we’re done with that

[serene furnace]

Big Hero 6 is not canon to the MCU

And even if it was
It was made before Endgame

[pine lava]

think it was like an easter egg?

but that was before the dad died in the school

[ruby knoll]

that's every company ever lol

[night rain]

Or maybe just be restructured. I’ve got quite a few cool subs on there that I love and I’d be pissed if they were blipped out of existence

[pine lava]

HMM

[serene furnace]

Also, no

Don't give 343 this bad reputation of liars when it's not warranted

Isn't their reputation already bad enough? Don't make it worse

[bitter belfry]

Gonna leave that alone

[serene furnace]

The internet hates Xbox and its developers, the least we could do is stay together between ourselves

[ruby knoll]

people make up stuff supposedly said by 343 and get mad when it's not true

[pine lava]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-gif-18214305

Has anyone seen the new Halo series?

[bitter belfry]

I remember when we completely made their whole marketing campaign for Halo 5 completely different from the game they released. Silly us.

[stoic sapphire]

Lol

[ruby knoll]

earth will never be the same

[pine lava]

i hate halo 5

[stoic sapphire]

5 had good multiplayer, at least

[serene furnace]

The marketing wasn't even all that false regarding the game
Locke does go after Chief

[stoic sapphire]

They definitely overselled and overhyped it.

[serene furnace]

Well yeah lol, what do you think marketing is for?

[onyx latch]

Marketing moment

[zenith holly]

Back then I hated halo 5 because of the power weapon varients but looking back the multiplayer was doable and warzone pvp wasn't a nightmare at launch cause it was so much fun

[serene furnace]

I loved Halo 2, 4 and 5 since day 1 because I'm not stupid

[bitter belfry]

I thought I hated H5 power weapons until I found out you could make a needler Op in Infinite

[pine lava]

i kind of love halo 3 but i was terrified from the flood, but Halo reach will always have a place for me

[serene furnace]

Reach is a mixed bag for me

Not a fan of the story, and I enjoy the gameplay, but the way some weapons were reworked was not of my liking

Especially the Needler, I hate the Reach Needler

[pine lava]

Emile was my fav because he had a badass helmet

[stoic sapphire]

Marketing shouldn’t be conniving like that. I’m a Business Admin major, and that’s one of the first things you learn about when you take your marketing class.

[serene furnace]

Boba Fett fans be like

[serene furnace]

Tell that to CD Projekt Red, EA, Ubisoft and Sony too while you're at it

[bitter belfry]

EA did false advertise they’re recent battlefield as well I’ll give you that

[stoic sapphire]

Lmao I would. They paid for their mess ups. So did Halo 5. There’s a reason why people claim that campaign to be the worst of them all, and a lot of that has to do with the expectations set by the marketing

[serene furnace]

The marketing of The Last of Us 2 tricked us into thinking it was a good game

[pine lava]

like the Halo series

[serene furnace]

And you know why guys
Because the point of marketing is to sell things
And to sell things you need to make them look good

[bitter belfry]

Looking good and false advertisement are different things

[serene furnace]

Ultimately, Halo 5 didn't show gameplay trailers of cutscenes or dialogues that were not in the game, they all were

[pine lava]

when i first say the trailer it revealed Master chiefs face, HE NEVER REVEALS HIS FACE AND HIS SUPPOSE TO BE A HOT 50 SOMETHING YEAR OLD

[stoic sapphire]

Business is more than selling a product. You need to retain a market base. Brand loyalty is a thing because customers develop a relationship with your product.

Making misleading marketing is not good for business, especially in the long run.

[serene furnace]

Wasn't Halo 2's marketing all about defending Earth?
Because we only had 2 missions in Earth

[pine lava]

i dunno havent played it in a long time

[serene furnace]

We did

And marketing didn't show the Arbiter
Not because it was fake, but because it was a surprise

[ruby knoll]

Earth Will Never Be The Same

@onyx latch

[stoic sapphire]

Sure, but the extra stuff was left to be extra. Underpromised instead of over promised.

[onyx latch]

This again?

[serene furnace]

Or Halo 3 with "Finish the fight" as its slogan
Even though it didn't finish any fight, evidenced by Bungie beginning production for Halo 4 before turning it into Reach

[pine lava]

halo 4 wasnt that bad but i did like the song for it

and cortana was kind of anoyying

[serene furnace]

More annoying than CE Cortana?

[pine lava]

id be fighting in a battle she randomly starts talking

[stoic sapphire]

Is that true? Lmao last I heard, 3 was intended by Bungie to be last, but they were contractually obligated to make two more, hence ODST and Reach.

Where did you hear that Reach was supposed to be 4?

[serene furnace]

Well, that's part of the story

[serene furnace]

We have mentioned it here in this very server many times before

[pine lava]

i could be losing blood and she be talking

[stoic sapphire]

Evidently I’m not in the in-crowd. If you don’t want to share you don’t have to be smarmy about it

[pine lava]

Like cortana i dont care

[serene furnace]

There isn't that much to share beyond that
Reach wasn't their first idea for the last game, it was Halo 4

LIke, did you forget about Halo 3's Legendary ending?

[pine lava]

halo 3 had a legendary ending?

[serene furnace]

Bruh

[serene furnace]

Every Halo game except Reach and 2 do

[pine lava]

dont bruh me

[bitter belfry]

Bruh

[pine lava]

i just play the game for fun and other stuff that isnt important

[stoic sapphire]

From what I understood of the legendary ending, it was meant to just be a cliffhanger. Nothing more. Chief and Cortana would be adrift, Arbiter and the Elites were shown to just be handling everything else, and things were left relatively open ended.

[serene furnace]

"stuff that isn't important" he said while talking about the story

[serene furnace]

https://www.ign.com/articles/bungie-halo-4-vision-same-343-industries

[ruby knoll]

literally had a shot of Requirem at the end lol

[serene furnace]

How do you not get that the obvious setup for an obvious sequel is obvious?
Literally, if a story ends on a cliffhanger, that means a sequel is planned

[pine lava]

i hate cliffhangers

[serene furnace]

Might as well have the game spell "to be continued" on the screen for you

[pine lava]

if it says that im freezing myself till the next one comes out

[ruby knoll]

halo 2

[serene furnace]

So yeah
Halo 5 is a good game

[pine lava]

ehhhh

[serene furnace]

And don't forget we live in the timeline where Halo 5 has a bigger score than Starfield in both IGN and Metacritic

[pine lava]

Hm

[stoic sapphire]

Lmao, no it doesn’t. I read the article you sent, and nowhere did it say that Bungie planned on going past Reach. They did develop ideas and concepts for Halo 4, but that doesn’t go against the idea that they were still out the door. Their concept development team probably spared a few guys for the possibility of sticking around, but that doesn’t mean they were planning on 4.

Even in ODST, they were alluding to Destiny. They wanted to do much different from Halo, lmao, they didn’t even think Halo: CE would have taken off like it did. Many different options aside from Bungie staying on contract with MS, which would have been the only way they could continue Halo

[pine lava]

literally they used the power of frienship to defeat cortana

[stoic sapphire]

With that said, that’s reason why the saga was so impressive cause Bungie was kinda tired of Halo. They still loved it, but they wanted to branch out and not be stuck on that one franchise

[serene furnace]

How do you say that Bungie made idead and concepts for Halo 4, and then say they never planned on making Halo 4?

[stoic sapphire]

If they planned on making a sequel, that would require them to renew their contract with MS. That would have never happened cause. They wanted out

[serene furnace]

And are you understanding things wrong? Because I never told you that they planned on making Halo 4 AFTER Reach
I told you Halo 4 was their original idea BEFORE making Reach

[bitter belfry]

To be honest, halo 3 was supposed to be halo 2 if the development of halo 2 didn’t suck

[serene furnace]

They didn't need to renew any contracts because Bungie's Halo 4 was going to be the last game in the series, before they changed plans and turned it into Reach

[pine lava]

why do some people like the spartans to be thick?

[serene furnace]

idk

I don't know why people like how Elites look like in Reach either when their Halo 2 look was perfect

I also don't know why on the last Halo 2 mission when you rescue the 2 Marines from the Brutes they refer to you as the Master Chief when you're the Arbiter

[pine lava]

and i heard that someone wants to see a female Elite

[serene furnace]

You can be a female Elite in Halo 3, and we hear one talk in Halo 5

[pine lava]

Hmm

[serene furnace]

Female Elites in Halo 3 are the same as the males, they just have higher pitched voices

[pine lava]

theres an odd version of what people make of a female elite..

[crystal iron]

I aint hear female elites have higher voices in halo 3

[stoic sapphire]

Ah, that makes sense, then. Appreciate you clarifying.

[serene furnace]

Halo Legends has female Elites and they do look quite different, but it is confirmed that was just artistic liberty

In canon female Elites look identical to males

[pine lava]

hmm

welp ima head out and work till when i feel tired hopefully i finish it in time for Halloween

[topaz pier]

hello

[wraith willow]

praying that Halo comes to GFN so my friends have something to play other than Fortnite

[serene furnace]

It isn't yet?

I thought GeForce Now had the entire Steam library

[willow junco]

Why does the Hammer kill me in one swing from like 40 feet away but I'll drop on a guy and hit him directly and he lives...

[stoic sapphire]

Epic 343 spaghetti code. Either that or your connection is wonky

[willow junco]

my connection was fine. Code or the other guy's connection maybe. I had 28ms

[ruby knoll]

lag?

[willow junco]

not on my end. I just find the hammer to be one of the least consistent weapons I guess...and it annoys me lol

[stoic sapphire]

Lmao, careful with wrongthink round these parts.

[serene furnace]

It's not always your connection, sometimes it's the game

There's a thing in online games known as ghost shot where you shoot a weapon in the game, you see the character shooting the weapon in the game, but the game didn't quite register it and for the rest of the players in the match you didn't shoot the weapon

[ruby knoll]

didn't mean on your end, just lag somewhere along the line

[willow junco]

Yeah probably. In that case, it's annoying that a laggy player can kill me from what I perceive to be a safe distance with the hammer only to have my skull bashed in.

[stoic sapphire]

It might get fixed in the future, at least

[bitter belfry]

Only been 2 years you know, the beta almost over

[stoic sapphire]

Shucks, you right

[wraith willow]

it used to years ago, it's been an opt-in system for a good while now

after Gears 5 and Forza Motorsport though, there's hope

[grim citrus]

Remember halo 2’s fight for earth? Great times

[lusty wraith]

They should just make them sound the same too lol we don’t need to differentiate them that much

Though I do like Jackal skirmishers in Infinite, nice compromise to give them unique sounding dialogue as a compromise for them not being the Reach race

[lusty wraith]

ALSO default Elite voice and dialogue in 343i’s games is not my cup of tea, H2’s was the best by faaar. The Infinite bosses had good voices though

[peak field]

Is there a reason that the Security helmet for Mark V [B] has so few attachments?

[celest heron]

? they finished the trilogy with the prophets wanting to ignite the rings. Their version of H4 could've ended up with starting something completely new which we'll never know. If you're saying they should've stopped making Halo games after H3, then that's kind of insane.

[edgy path]

why in heck did we get a free attachment for a shop-exclusive helmet for playing during season 3

[lusty wraith]

Halo 3 was a great end to Chief’s story at least tentatively. Was good thematically and narratively. 343i should have began their series with a new character, I’ll die on that hill

[lusty wraith]

Which one?

[zealous panther]

Even after playing halo 3 for... A lot of times I still have zero idea how the last mission transition to the ending and then to the halo 4

[celest heron]

wdym. Their ship is floating in space at the end of 3 and then Cortana wakes Chief up in the floating ship in space to confront the issues at hand in the beginning of 4.

[old aurora]

Yeah I think using Master Chef again was a mistake
They should have used Rookie or made a new character

[lusty wraith]

I petition for an H3A just to get better cutscenes. I personally love H3 but a lot of people I know do get confused at different scenes, like the gravemind seemingly ‘helping’ free the pelican Chief, Cortana, and Arbiter are escaping High Charity in, or the scene where Arbiter crashes back on Earth at the end, a lot of people miss the fact that the Dawn was cleaved in half

[zealous panther]

I mean cheef jumped to the ship with arbiter, then ship somehow landed on earth and suddenly chief is supposed to be dead while arbiter not... And then halo 4 you wake up somewhere that do not looks like the same ship at all

[lusty wraith]

See lol

The ship was cut in half, the front made it back to Earth with the Arbiter, the back was stranded in space heading towards Requiem with Chief onboard

[celest heron]

the ship got cut in half in the slipspace portal. people on Earth thought he died which he didn't. It doesn't look the same cause we see more details of the ship which is just 343 making it that way.

[zealous panther]

My point is... This cutscene made so poorly you can't really tell this is the case.

Not like this changes something, I guess that was just afterthought somewhere the end of development

[celest heron]

we weren't really meant to see everything in the ship. It was the ending of the game.

[low musk]

It clearly shows that MC was left behind and was put into cryo sleep so that in the offchance he could be rescued, he would be. Though if he was on the side of the portal where the Halo ring was fired, it calls into question how he even survived at all

[zealous panther]

Plot armour for sure better then halo 2 legendary armour is

Very resilient

[celest heron]

it was just the shock wave from it blowing up. I'd say he had a less chance in CE when it blew up.

[low musk]

True, its easy to forget that the Halo Ring was still largely unfinished

[celest heron]

and then Johnson magically surviving.

[low musk]

But Johnson IS dead though

Only way I can see him coming back is either cloning, or as an AI used from saved DNA

[celest heron]

was talking about the legendary ending.

[edgy path]

the CBRN attachment for Firefall helmet

[low musk]

I'm sure that wasn't the 'canon' ending

[celest heron]

hence the kekw

[lusty wraith]

Johnson wasn’t really a full blown character in CE anyway, they brought him back and gave him a bigger role in the story because people loved him so much

[edgy path]

not sure if the UNSC or its contracted R&D firms have the technology to convert DNA information directly to AI yet for that matter.. they can model an AI after archived footage and notes on his history and personality though

[low musk]

They were able to do so with Catherine Halsey. They cloned her brain, which they, in turn, used it as a base for the development of Cortana

[edgy path]

🤷‍♂️

basis, sure, but I think they did it fully manually

idk

[low musk]

If they have Johnson's DNA, it wouldn't be that big of a stretch, though given how much of Earth was messed up during the 3 way battle between the Flood and the Covenant, it could have easily been destroyed. Honestly, if they just did it as a customization thing only in MP, i'd be happy with that premise as well

[edgy path]

We have Mister Chief, why not an AI named Sarge

[low musk]

I'm sure every player here would be it in an instant

[unkempt locust]

Can we farm challenges in bot games?

[long mural]

Most challenges are PvP

They will note “in PvP,” though

[celest heron]

I feel like he would just be berating you in a drill instructor way which wouldn't be fun after awhile.

[low musk]

He has alot of pretty funny quips too, so I doubt it would be just disparaging remarks coming to the player

[stoic sapphire]

There’s already so many non-canon armor mods, just make Johnson one of those

Hell, give him a quip about how he shouldn’t be back but he is

Giving him a canon reason to be back would be in the top ten dumbest lore additions

[unkempt locust]

I thought they were changing get kills with x or y weapon challenges

[crystal iron]

Do you guys think the next halo will be on UE?

[edgy path]

Unreal Engine? Doubftul

[crystal iron]

Why not?

[edgy path]

Idk but I think if they wanted to put Halo on Unreal it would've happened already

[crystal iron]

What if they just decided?

[edgy path]

I wouldn't doubt both teams considered it before and chose not to

[hollow bobcat]

So I'm pretty sure this has been acknowledged, but are other steam users spending a few minutes waiting for game to load the main menu per launch?

[frosty condor]

https://vxtwitter.com/HaloSupport/status/1714724687882911771?t=GRB6c9TnVE-JGaulRvsgrw&s=19

[hollow bobcat]

Now I think the game doesn't allow for any connection either.

[unkempt locust]

Is there any game mode that gives banished weapon starts? This weekly is killing me

[onyx latch]

fiesta and husky raid

[unkempt locust]

Yeah I somehow just got 8 from that are covenant weapons counted as banished now?

[unkempt locust]

My weekly is glitched I didn’t get the coating for 2 cores I’ve tried restarting my game and everything where can I contact support about this? Or is there a fix

[ruby steppe]

Man joining custom games via the browser is so buggy

its like a 50/50 chance you even get in, just errors most of the time

[zealous panther]

Husky is the way to go hammer time

[low musk]

Super Fiesta is a pretty good choice, especially if you can get the gravity hammer or sword

[sullen kiln]

Am i able to spawn in the grunt boss in the forge ai?

[twin crag]

who is this HaloSupport guy and why does he know everything about what 343 is doing, is he a spy or smth?

[low musk]

You can pretty much spawn in any Boss, including campaign and HVEs from my understanding

[scarlet lotus]

Hey, quick question: i'm trying to build an elevator in forge and the object i'm using as a base keeps rotating on its yaw and pitch. How do i stop this?

[rare stream]

Ok because i can only see the big sentinal guy

[scarlet lotus]

This place got real quiet

[coarse dagger]

Always a quiet time around now - US is asleep and a chunk of Europe is at school or working

Uugggh

Hey, stckr, do you forge?

[coarse dagger]

I don't

[scarlet lotus]

Noooo

You could maybe try the Scripter's Guild or Forgehub for more detailed Forge questions

Don't have an SG link, but Forgehub is in #community-servers

[fleet geyser]

the games trending, have they fixed the optimization

[vital whale]

Is halo back???

[winter adder]

Hey guys should i even use High-Res Texture Pack for Halo Infinite since my screen is only 1080

Like most ppl say that's for like 4K and has no benfits for 1080

[simple tinsel]

You know what would be a good update?
Make it so that items from Armor Kits are able to be used on the armor core.

For example, allow us to use the Mark VI Gen-3 Gloves, Shoulders, and Knee Guards on the Mark VII Armor Core.
Allow us to use the Mark V Gen-1 Gloves, Shoulders, and Knee Guards on the Mark V [B] Gen-1 Armor Core.
And of course, allow cross-core for the helmets.

But now that we are doing Hero Armor Kits... is Spartan Agryna's Armor going to be an Armor Core or another Hero Kit?

[arctic haven]

why is no one playing ranked slayer? do people not like the bandit or?

[twin crag]

no, Halo is Halo

[twin crag]

something I wanna understand too, everyone is playing Ranked arena only

[left snow]

Just had an awesome session with a few mates. Husky, Squad Battle, Super Fiesta. Everyone had a blast. And love that the Hammer has been tended to. It now sends Spartan's flying appropriately. Never fails to amuse.

[simple tinsel]

Been playing customs with some friends the past two days. I'm a bit rusty due to my long hiatus from Infinite, but I'm getting back into the swing of things.

[grim citrus]

Less bloat in maps

Ranked Slayer yet again is done incorrectly. They need to make it that it has motion tracker and the sidekick has more of a fixed rate of fire like the H5 magnum.

[twin crag]

it has a motion tracker?

[twin crag]

Wym less bloat

[grim citrus]

I find some of the maps in ranked are not very good for 4v4

[twin crag]

Isn't that a good chunk of maps
Catalyst is bad on slayer
Argyle slayer is bad

I kinda dislike the new reach map remake in ranked

[river minnow]

was supposed to reply to stckrs msg

oops wrong chat nvm

[signal ivy]

Lol

[sterile meadow]

Hey does anyone play on xbox with controller? I was hoping someone else noticed the same bug as me

[hot axle]

Xbox with Controller in a Halo game? Probably a tiny minority

[sterile meadow]

Yeah, I know, just wanted to see if its a common thing or if no one noticed, I already reported it, basically half of the controller vibration stops working upon player death, when you respawn

[modest nimbus]

I have vibration off

[sterile meadow]

Ah okay, it's the trigger vibration, branded "impulse triggers" every time you die in a match it stops working, only works per match until you die for the first time it's weird

[modest nimbus]

ok

[twin crag]

bro

u missed the joke by a margin

[rocky cipher]

so glad I win one match of btb and then have to face an onslaught of bored Onyx ranked players for the next 10

[glacial tartan]

this is incorrect.

[rocky cipher]

Infinites matchmaking is literal dogwater

[grim citrus]

Halo started off as a console game and it’s the minority?

[misty vale]

I mean that's gotta be a joke that's like saying water isn't wet.

Controller on XB players are probably the massive majority of players.

[onyx latch]

It doesn't fit with the narrative of 'I am trying to solo queue in BTB, a mode notorious for full stacks of roughly coordinated people in a mode where the tempo of the match is often obvious by the third minute'

(It's even worse in BTB Heavies)

[hot axle]

Dude, how can I dominate a team and then end up with 2 of them on my team 😭 These ranked matches are ridiculous sometimes

[hot axle]

That was the joke

[left snow]

It will be interesting to see how each map (and mode combination) changes with the Bandit starts.

[grim citrus]

I like it. What I don’t like is the no radar in ranked slayer. Never has there been a ranked slayer playlist without radar until infinite

But I wished it was a secondary weapon so we can have more weapon combos

[celest heron]

they tried to fix it with more even games in h5, but I'll emphasize tried.

[lusty wraith]

Ok so for the H3 refueled playlist do we know anything about settings? I’m guessing that sprint, clamber, and slide will be disabled (hopefully), but what about base movement?

Really think they should reduce the base movement and try to use 1:1 remakes but I guess it’s too late since they’ve already shown off which maps are going to be used

[left snow]

I don't know. I can't see 343 winding movement back.

[lusty wraith]

It won’t really play like H3 with current movement and strafe speed, but ehh

[left snow]

True.

But 343 have already put a lot of effort into giving Infinite a classic feel. I just can't see them going back to that well again.

And as you mentioned - the maps aren't 1:1 with their H3 counterpart.

Plus, I really can't see Mountain Dew putting money into a promotion that only attracts a section of the playing group.

[lusty wraith]

I get how many people feel the classic-vibe with Infinite, but I personally dispute that. I think the way encounters and gunfights play out in Infinite are inherently more difficult and favors long-distance engagements too much

[serene furnace]

Considering Halo 3's Legendary ending. No, 343 was basically forced to keep using the Chief

I want you to picture a Halo 4 without the Chief.
What would the fans be complaining about?
They would be asking angrily why the game is not following Halo 3's ending

[smoky wave]

Some of the maps from that playlist iirc are already published and are designed for Halo Infinite movement
So I don't think the classic settings will be there

[lusty wraith]

I really don’t think so, plain and simple. Keeping the Chief on ice, floating around Requiem for a few games while they figure out their vision for the series BEFORE reintroducing him would have been a lot better

[serene furnace]

If people want classic movement and gameplay can't they just go play Halo 3?
Halo Infinite's versions of the map are supposed to be remakes, not recreations
And remakes are adapted for its respective game

[lusty wraith]

I would have loved that 😎

[serene furnace]

Many fans wouldn't

[lusty wraith]

It’s a Halo 3 throwback playlist.

[serene furnace]

One of the main complaints in Halo 5 as it exists is the lack of Master Chief screentime

[serene furnace]

With remakes, not recreations, remakes

[civic sundial]

They also showed of one of the maps at HCS and I'm pretty sure they had normal settings on

[zenith holly]

I will say it was a weird concept Cortana died in 4 but all of the sudden comes back at 5

[lusty wraith]

I know lol

[smoky wave]

Yeaaaaaaah

[serene furnace]

It's not Cortana, but I don't blame you, the books make everything confusing

The Halo 5 Cortana is one of her rampant fractures restored

[lusty wraith]

Did they? Even slide, sprint, and clamber?

[civic sundial]

Yes

[lusty wraith]

If the playlist is only a throwback with the maps, I wonder why they wouldn’t just put them in normal matchmaking

[zenith holly]

Does that mean there could be other Cortana rampant fragments throughout halos galaxy?

[civic sundial]

My guess is the playlist is where we're gonna see those maps first, if they're popular enough, they'll be added to the other playlists

Though I don't like that this means we have yet another remake of The Pit in the game

[lusty wraith]

Ehhhh 😞

[civic sundial]

Since Tenrai III had multiple Pit remakes if I recall

[lusty wraith]

It did, yea

[serene furnace]

Probably, but they're likely not exploring them again

[lusty wraith]

The neon Pit is the worst since it doesn’t flip spawns

[serene furnace]

Cortana's story arc is done

[lusty wraith]

I tend not to think/care about the reactions of ‘many’ people

[serene furnace]

That's why you would fail as a game developer

[lusty wraith]

Lol ok

[serene furnace]

Supply and demand, it's easy
If you make a game only a minority want it's not gonna succeed

[lusty wraith]

Mhmm, it’s easy

[white birch]

Yep, its reset week.

Three games so far. Every single one Im smacked in the face by cooridnated teamstacks.
Why

Its not even a skill issue thing, its just getting steamrolled.

[serene furnace]

You got clan'd

[white birch]

I swear it happens more often in Infinite than it did in Reach.
Maybe theres somethign to the whole "lower playercount" stuff...or the SMBB...or something.

That, or I just play the game way too much so it sits me with the people who also play it way too much...I dunno.

I might actually use some of my challange swaps cause theres NO WAY Im getting 5 kills in a match with ARs when the moment I spawn Im instantly annhilated by the entire vehicle compliment of the enemy.

Which is every vehicle on the map.

Uggggh.

Does this happen in Fortnite? Anyone know?

[zealous panther]

You can just play other playlist to make the challenge.

[deep mantle]

Why does the game take forever to start on PC now?

[coarse dagger]

#halo-support-news message

[glacial tartan]

343 has to fix the bug still

[analog salmon]

reach is just a very casual game, maps are big enough you have a lot of space to move around even if your team mates are terrible and the other team are a decent 4 stack. there's only a few reach maps i really feel you can get spawn trapped and dominated

[coarse dagger]

Or Nvidia do

[analog salmon]

so the kind of players who want to stack and dominate players wouldnt even play reach

[white birch]

Makes sense.

[leaden mountain]

often

[grim citrus]

Fragments. End of halo 4, she duplicated herself multiple times

Thought it was a great idea. Gave Cortana a proper farewell, but at the same time bring new life into the character.

[scarlet shuttle]

Why aren’t they just selling individual parts in this game, I don’t wanna sink 20$ just for 1 item that looks good to my eye in a bundle. Why not having the bundle for a lesser price then buying all individual part…

Most of the game I play (actually all of them I think) are selling everything individually but if you pay for the bundle, you get a discounted price.

[lusty wraith]

Mr. Krabs enters the room

[scarlet shuttle]

😂

I’ve been skipping all the cash shop items for the past 3 seasons because I don’t want 80% of the items sold. I would have gladly bought a few things here and there if it was offered individually, like I do in my other games like Sea of Thieves and Fall Guys. 🤷‍♂️

The greed is strong with this game, and it comes from a player who doesn’t mind paying for cosmetic… I just don’t want to spend the price of a diner at a restaurant just for 1 emblem 😅

[left snow]

I would love the prices to be a bit cheaper. But in terms of a restaurant, we're not talking about much more than a hearty feed at the Golden Arches.

[tepid latch]

Im honestly happy not buying anything from the shops currently, I don't think i bought much or anything in season 4, I've bought battle passes and thats about it. the prices in Aus are just too much for me for what im getting especially when I just want a couple of the items.

it still feels like they're making the bundles look bigger than they really are, like "25 items" when 16 of those are the weapon/armour coating :// Sanguine Gift should be marked as 11 items and priced lower and same goes for any other bundle thats marked that way

[left snow]

@tepid latch I've been hit and miss. I bought a few things to support 343 in Season 1. Dropped off in Season 2. But picked up on Season 3 onwards.

I acknowledge they are a bit on the expensive side - but I'm also at a stage of life where I have disposable income. And I am playing the game regularly. Having a lot of fun. Getting good value for dollars vs hours.

And I've used most of the things I've bought. No buyer's regret just yet.

[plain osprey]

question for the comunity here in reguards to btb anyone seen a razorback sense season 5 dropped?

[left snow]

The one with no weapon? Took it for a spin in Squad Battle last night.

[plain osprey]

ite thanks trying to get the achive for it and so far i've had 40+ btb's and no razorbacks

[left snow]

I just looked up the name of the map; Exiled.

[plain osprey]

thanks darwi

[crystal iron]

Just had the weirdest Thing happen in husky raid, my weapon spawned in with ammo already depleted my equipment was also on cool down.. I liked two guys and not registered one of them died but he was still running around and died like 4 seconds later

[misty vale]

Neon Superfly is on literally every core, gun, and vehicle. Goat bundle

[tepid latch]

Yeah i totally understand that, I defs bought my fair share of things when the game kicked off! I think just in season 3 and 4 there wasnt much there that tickled my fancy so much as to want to buy it. but i wont look down on anyone buying stuff ofc everyone's different :P

[rocky cipher]

I sincerely hope they allow firefight to give rank and battlepass xp; BTB is not very enjoyable after the 6th loss in a row.

[tepid latch]

If its going into matchmaking i'd say its more than likley to

[rocky cipher]

It's a PvE gamemode though

[tepid latch]

idk, im kinda being optimistic here, but with it being a big mode addition to Halo, you'd think if they want most people to play them some people would want an incentive to as well

[rocky cipher]

praying you get actual decent items for the Legendary and LASO difficulties

if its just a coating or emblem that's a fat rip

[tepid latch]

Wdym? you probably wont get any rewards for playing I cant imagine, I just meant in regards to getting BP and Career XP

[rocky cipher]

realistically why would they add other difficulties if you didn't stand to get anything out of them

[tepid latch]

For a challenge?

Because if they didn't they'd make a lot of people mad for not adding firefight like it was in previous games

[celest heron]

[tepid latch]

Lmao that is crazy!

not even that high a ping

[left snow]

Just goes to show that it isn't just your ping in play.

[tepid latch]

Oh yeah of course lol, kind of a throwaway message ig :P

[onyx latch]

There was a pretty freaky server hiccup earlier tonight that affected my whole server, so something may be weird tonight.

[half spire]

Hey does anyone know how to make friendly AI in forge?

[civic sundial]

What team are you playing on needs to match the team you set the AI on

[ruby steppe]

The Parol Patrol weekly is underwhelming but I see what they were doing with that Pumpkin color sorta.

[livid fable]

why is it that even if i delete everything on a forge map, 15% of the memory is being used?

[crystal iron]

I'm seriously contemplating deleting Twitter, only got it to keep up with Halo news and some other games. And few content creators, but now my feed is literally Weird Console wars stuff.. like Dude I have a mortgage and laundry and stuff . I don't care that much about Xbox or PlayStation.

So when I see some 30+ yr old dude arguing with like. 15 yr old online over console and game exclusive I kinda just wonder why is that on my feed .. like it's almost like Twitter is going hey you see this stuff you don't care about Well we are going to push this on to your feed extra hard. Lol.

[twin crag]

Same, exactly same man :(

Idk when did my feed got filled console wars, xbox bad, PS bad, Microsoft earning and what not

[twin crag]

Also the random spam posting meme pages

[crystal iron]

For real, right now I'm in the process of Joining discords for the content creators, and after that might go through my Follow list and just follow Xbox and Halo and Starfeild stuff.

Well I'm headed to bed, I'ma probably stay off Twitter for a bit.

[twin crag]

U can use the follow tab tho instead of the full feed
Cya lad

[olive brook]

downloading infinite rn

hoping this is worth it

[loud brook]

it is

[olive brook]

20%

[civic sundial]

It's not a perfect game but no game is

[olive brook]

my internet is dying rn

[civic sundial]

But Infinite is definitely one of the most fun Halo games to play

[olive brook]

hope so

almost 50%

yall got any tips

first time playing this one

[loud brook]

personally I like to take things slow when I'm not sure of my surroundings

like if I'm in a tight area like a hall way or have no teammates with me I try not to sprint

because I'm pretty sure if you try to shoot right after sprinting there is a small delay or something

[vague grove]

season 5 saved infinite

[olive brook]

91% 😭

so close yet so far

[olive brook]

yo why is my game locked at

36 fps

[loud brook]

ok

I'm so god dam confused, how do the gravity hammers work in super husky

cuz like 1 second they can hit from meters away and the next they're useless at that range

then they're really useful at close range and then they do nothing at close range

[olive brook]

how do i like turn on the thing that when i press 1 it swaps to my other weapon

[uneven bison]

It depends on the hammer, normal hammers you got be very close to work, rushdown hammers give you a bit of space, and Diminisher of hope has a very narrow kill space, but very good at de-positioning enemies

[olive brook]

this game is so awesome

performance seems to be quite terrible for me though

[loud brook]

whats your specs?

you might wanna mess around with graphics and stuff

[flint coral]

play on lowest settings and if it's still terrible you're out of luck

[olive brook]

1 sec

[flint coral]

been a whole lot longer than one second

[loud brook]

lol

[olive brook]

alright lemme just

[flint coral]

Finish that sentence

[loud brook]

bit sassy today eh?

[olive brook]

im running a ryzen 7 5800x, a 3060ti and 16 gigs of ram

[loud brook]

god dang

[flint coral]

was about to question the existence of a 8500x

[olive brook]

haha

[flint coral]

but long story short, lock your fps to 120 and tweak your graphics settings

[loud brook]

yeah you probably just wanna set your frame limit to whatever you want and just change up some of your video settings

[olive brook]

should i just put em all to low

[loud brook]

I just went with monitor refresh rate for my fps and a mix of medium and low graphics

[loud brook]

eh its up to you, personally I like my game to look decent while also running well

[flint coral]

not all of em, wait lemme turn the game on and tell you the ones I have for my rtx 3070, should work just fine on a 3060 Ti

[olive brook]

alrighty thx

[flint coral]

game will take 5 hours to load bc of new nvidia driver update but I'll say it asap

[olive brook]

whats ''minimum framerate''

[flint coral]

don't touch that

[olive brook]

i just turned it off

[flint coral]

leave it to off, if your pc ends up at lower fps than your min fps the game will scale the resolution down in real time, and it may or may not cause more render latency aswell

[coarse dagger]

There's a patch coming for Infinite tomorrow with stability improvements

https://vxtwitter.com/HaloSupport/status/1716948431996871001?s=20

[olive brook]

this game still looks pretty alright at low

[flint coral]

alright so here's how mine are set:

resolution scale to lowest(you can ignore that one and leave it to your screen's native res if you want, more of a competitive setting tbh)

Anti-Aliasing: High
Texture Filtering: Ultra
Ambient Occlusion: Low
Texture Quality: Ultra
Geometry Quality: Low
Reflections: Off
Depth Of Field: Low
Shadow Quality: Low
Lighting Quality: Low
Volumetric Fog Quality: Off
Cloud Quality: Low
Dynamic Wind: Off
Ground Cover Quality: Low
Effects Quality: Ultra
Decal Quality: Low
Terrain Quality: Low
Animation Quality: Max
Simulation Quality: Ultra
Flocking Quality: Off
Async Compute: Checked(ON)
Raytraced Sun Shadows: Off
Blur: 0%
Screen Shake: 0%
Press screen calibration and for me -15 luminosity looks the best, it really makes the colors more realistic
and the rest is really up to your preference.

Matter of fact, everything is really up to your preference, it's just what I use, you can always mess around with the settings and see what you like

[olive brook]

Going to do this real quick, tysm

[flint coral]

Welcome

[olive brook]

Gotta restart, ill see if its better once ive done that

[flint coral]

yeah that too, and since you've got an nvidia gpu make sure you go in the nvidia control panel, go to Manage 3D settings and put Low Latency mode to ON, not ultra, on

[olive brook]

All done!

Lemme check it out in game real quick

[flint coral]

if you're interested in seeing your gpu's render latency turn on the geforce experience overlay, (restart the pc if it's not already on) and press ALT + R, it will show you the render latency, and here's a heads up: if it's higher than 7ms, you will notice input lag

[olive brook]

Alrighty, everything feels really nice now. tysm

[flint coral]

👌

[lusty wraith]

A little random but I miss being able to back-smack AI enemies like Elites and Brutes. I think that for lower ranks at least it should still be a thing

[flint coral]

is it not?

[shell phoenix]

any idea on when were getting the transgresor armor kit for the flood?

[flint coral]

I think it was in the shop

[shell phoenix]

I've not seen it, bought every flood related item

[flint coral]

I'm level 50 in the battlepass and I don't have it either, so idk

[shell phoenix]

Another 20 euro cosmetic incomming

[flint coral]

I doubt it, I'm guessing closer to 10

[placid ivy]

I miss assassinations.

[flint coral]

same

[livid fable]

i have been weapon testing for like 3 hours now in forge with ai.

i can say this conclusively: Halo Infinite is a well made and ultimately SIMPLE game.

i know nobody's come out regarding explaining a lot of the basic mechanics. but with forge AI, i've been able to test all kinds of things.

I can't speak for everyone. But I CAN say that for ME, it's not typically a skill issue when my melee doesn't connect, it's not typically a skill issue when my BR isn't hitting heads when the reticle is square on them, and it's not a skill issue when gravity hammers work sometimes and not others. It's also not a hardware issue on my end.

well, within definitions of the word 'my.' i've tried playing halo infinite in a variety of network environments by now, but they've all got something in common- they're in the same state. and come to think of it, the internet in this state was so bad a couple of years back that the state literally sued the largest provider of internet for failing to meet contract agreements

which MIGHT mean that, short of me moving to another state, this is as good as it can reasonably get.

but all that gray space about 'does combat behave different depending on if you're sprinting, jumping, etc.?' I can answer definitively that the answer is yes, but it still wasn't the source of the problems i was experiencing.

Standard melee lunge is 1.5 sprint steps' distance. Anyone within .5 sprint steps' distance between your 9:00 and 3:00 will be hit by your melee on standard FOV. You will hit people that you can not see when it's working properly.

Your reticle not only doesn't have to be centered on them, it doesn't even have to be touching them when you're on the ground.

When you're in the air, the cone of melee lunge is reduced to about your 11:00 to 1:00, but it's still pretty generous, and the reticle doesn't have to touch them

i did a ton more weapons data but since my biggest beef has been with inconsistent melee experience, that's the data i wanted to share. gotta sleep now, be well all.

[lusty wraith]

At least in Legendary, I don’t think back smacks are a thing for Infinite’s enemies

Not sure about lower difficulties

[flint coral]

oh

[flint coral]

man you sure do have a whole lot of time to spare, mind leaving some for me? lol

[ruby steppe]

at this point id be willing to commission someone to make a solid Monster Trucks custom map; DM me

Halo for sure should open up a commission forum for maps and such

[livid fable]

I tested this as well. it is, but to different degrees

any of the three energy swords against the chosen brute chieftain to the back kills him in four hits

the dualist blade and the regular blade take six hits from the front, and the blood blade takes five hits from the front

[livid fable]

I have been building questions for 2 years now that nobody dared answer

using the banished AI is much better than using fusion coils

[flint coral]

How does one build a question?

[ruby steppe]

if 343 wants to blow up the community the same way Garry's Mod, Roblox, and TF2 have they need to heavily encourage commissioned maps as much as possible. Paid maps would obviously have a higher ceiling of quality and that would mean more players coming in for custom games.

[livid fable]

upon other unanswered questions

[scarlet shuttle]

Guys, I just learned about Field of View 😶 I feel cheated.

I’ve been playing with default FoV since beginning… the only thing I dislike with higher FoV is the scene look funky, like when you un-zoom with a camera, the sides are rounded

[misty vale]

skill issue. Max FOV Masterrace

[fickle bridge]

when is the halo 3 maps coming in game?

[ruby steppe]

already are

[fickle bridge]

for infinite?

[ruby steppe]

yes

[lusty wraith]

Obviously he means in matchmaking

[ruby steppe]

we got rats nest and a few others, they're all on Squad Battles

[fickle bridge]

n1 just coming back. Thats cool!

[lusty wraith]

The refueled playlist

[ruby steppe]

Squad is the mode to be on rn 🔥

[fickle bridge]

they in comp mode as well!

installing game right now. thanks

[misty vale]

wrong. BTB Heavies >

[olive brook]

is there aim assist on mkb or am i trippin

[misty vale]

there is

[olive brook]

ah

[fiery pewter]

Why the F do people quit so much in ranked

I hope the penalities for quitters are severe

[celest heron]

could be they don't care as much about their rank or they wanted a more even game. Or, they lagged out/crashed.

[crystal mortar]

Hey guys is the winter battlepass still free? I beat it before the update so i do not know

[coarse dagger]

Yep, will always be free :)

[crystal mortar]

Epic

[fiery pewter]

We were winning

[olive brook]

enjoying infinite so much rn

the game just feels so good

[frosty condor]

[noble urchin]

imagine how gnarly the cinematic cutscene woulda been for this season. man... 😔

[ruby lake]

and live for eternity

[ruby lake]

i agree!

[grim citrus]

That’s the game crashing

[olive brook]

I did like this “ultimate challenge” but i have no idea what I actually got from it

[fiery pewter]

Lucky for me i got to onyx so i'm never doing ranked again for the rest of the season

Is there any reward for onyx or is it just the emblem?

[grim citrus]

That’s my plan. Since there’s no champion division, there’s no point in playing ranked after that. And that they decided to remove to4 in onyx.

[low musk]

I actually found that there are still challenges you can do in Bot Bootcamp. I thought some of the greyed out ones pretty much defaulted to PVP, but that does not seem to be the case, at lease in the case of one challenge, so I assume there are others (Probably). The 'Win Matches' challenge I started with Yesterday actually could be done in that playlist, which honestly surprised me

[misty vale]

You got a red skin for every gun

[low musk]

I thought it was more of a pumpkin orange color

[ruby lake]

hooray.

[misty vale]

Seeing as how fun skins are something you actually see, it's really not bad at all? Considering the challenges are so easy they do themselves

[olive brook]

Thats pretty cool i guess

Atleast its something

[misty vale]

The 'something' for me when i pay halo is the fun i have playing halo.

Kinda eh gun skins considering what i got from twitch

[olive brook]

Can i still like complete the older battle passes even though i didn’t play during those seasons

[low musk]

If you bought them, you can. They never expire

[olive brook]

Can i still buy em?

[coarse dagger]

Yep

[olive brook]

Oh that’s awesome

[coarse dagger]

Every season pass so far, except the first, gives you 1000 credits - earn as you progress. So essentially you can buy 1 and get the rest for free

Or buy each one and use the credits in the store

[olive brook]

That’s nice

More games should do that

[coarse dagger]

Worth checking out my pinned comment about the battle pass and operations/ events - the linked blog post details how things will work going forward

[low musk]

Right. One thing worth mentioning is that there will likely no longer be 'events' which you could miss and never get those items ever again. They instead are being replaced with 'Operations' which last longer, and even if you miss them, you can buy they like you would a battlepass for 5 dollars (Which also comes with a bonus item if you pay the 500cR anyways)

[signal ivy]

aka the pinned comment stckr was talking about

[low musk]

I was just summarizing the explanation

[misty vale]

Tldr of you play you get tons more dress up

[signal ivy]

woot

[low musk]

Season 4 and 5 are easily my favorite seasons so far. 4 had some of the best events by far, though there is still plenty of time for 5 to shine if the Firefight modes coming out mid season will spark a new resurgence for the game

[civic sundial]

Honestly, making it so an operation's contents can be accessed after it ends is something I am happy with

Since with the events, I did miss out on some of the early ones and wish I could go back and do them

With operations, if I do miss one, I can still access those cosmetics, even if I do have to pay a small price for it

Plus if one doesn't interest me, I can just not play when that operation is happening and not feel I've missed out

[low musk]

I wouldn't be surprised if they turned alot of the old events and combine them all into an operation. Like combining all the past Tenrai events into a singular operation. The Winter Contingency 1, the Eagle Strike, and so on

[civic sundial]

We'll see

But I definitely want my Mark V Zeta helmet still

Also, since it relates to this, I do like how Infinite is such a relaxed game when it comes to the grind. I don't feel like I have to play constantly just for a chance to reach the end of a season

[low musk]

Hopefully so. It feels like the smart thing to do. I wouldn't be surprised if they also incentivized players to buy the operation, despite completing the past events by having an exclusive item

[misty vale]

This has gotta be the idea. The best eaglestrike stuff was on an event

[ruby lake]

sounds kool

[misty vale]

That is already the case

[ruby lake]

just two tiers away from finishinf this bp

[low musk]

I know that, but I'm talking about in the possible future where people who already completed the events might buy it for that very purpose

[low musk]

lol, I already got everything I wanted after T19 after getting my Gungnir, so I'm taking it low and slow xD

[civic sundial]

Hell yeah, I've got the last 10 tiers but I know I'll be able to get that done over the next few days

[shut jay]

Does anyone else have their Spartan's voice changed to the default voice? I have my Spartan voice as a woman but in games it changes to a man's voice (default). Does anyone else have that problem? or is it a halo bug as such?

[ruby lake]

you're not the only one

i too have that bit of a problem

[shut jay]

343 hasn't said anything about it?

[ruby lake]

i aint hear nuthin

[shut jay]

lol

[civic sundial]

I think it's something people just haven't really noticed

[ruby lake]

i was dressing my spartan with the pinkest of the pink coatings of all

and all of a sudden, my spartan has a male voice when i play the game

[civic sundial]

I'm gonna have to check with my Spartan and if they're not using the right voice, I'll file a bug report

[shut jay]

That's an old bug, I remember that it happened from season 1, then in season 3 they "solved" it and now it happened again

[shut jay]

me too

[coarse dagger]

Make sure and file a support ticket, especially if it's a regression of a previously fixed issue

[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.

Will do Stckr and Iratus

[coarse dagger]

👍

[ruby lake]

i finished the season 5 battle pass

now what?

[signal ivy]

go for max rank

[zenith holly]

Hopefully they don't nerf down the XP for firefight

[signal ivy]

it wouldn't be a nerf

it would just be the XP for firefight

[crystal iron]

Grind progression system or wait for first operation to start I guess

[lime robin]

That's happening to me too, my western cowboy Spartan's voice has changed to default 😦

[ruby lake]

halo infinite: "you WILL like the default spartan voice and you WILL like it."

[scarlet shuttle]

Wut? 🤔

[misty vale]

having your fov at maximum is objectively superior?

[young glen]

Yup, not only do you see more, but your movement speed is increased. 😉

[turbid terrace]

Is anyone else also having issues with the UI loading for Halo Infinite or is it just me? I don't know what's going on but can't customize my Spartans. Heck I can't even see the challenges.

[coarse dagger]

Sounds like it could be related to the last few posts in #halo-support-news

[turbid terrace]

Maybe. I mean, I as able to load into one multiplayer match yesterday, but it defaulted be to the base Mark VII Grey armor that new accounts are given.

[cosmic saffron]

does anyone here like halo

[coarse dagger]

Lots of people

Pretty much why we're here

[turbid terrace]

I like Halo Mods. Can I put feedback about Halo 5 in here?

[coarse dagger]

Here or in #1076337363770417172

[agile cobalt]

do i have to get to hero in season 5 to get 117s suit or can it be any time

[coarse dagger]

Any time

[agile cobalt]

thank god

i went from gold to plat corpral tier 3 in 1 day

husky raid my beloved

got ranks confused

[turbid terrace]

Awesome. In which case, I think Halo 5 deserves some the love Halo MCC's gotten. Full port to steam (workshop included), and just about everything else MCC's gotten wherever possible. I know that a lot of people view Halo 5 as being one of the not so good Halo games, but for posterity's sake, I think should still get the same treatment.

[agile cobalt]

halo 5 multiplayer is apparently great

and the vids from it look fun

[onyx latch]

Most based user imaginable

[agile cobalt]

2 rounds gave me 5k xp

man no embeds. its a personal sharex server

[signal crow]

Anyone know what causing halo infinite to randomly freeze then crash? My laptop can run the game perfectly fine cuz it's a rtx one (30 series) with adequate ram but game randomly does this

[agile cobalt]

like often?

[gloomy cape]

a new playable space has been added to Chasm 🙂

[severe valve]

Not freezing for me, but I haven't been able to get anything to load. No multiplayer and no custom games. Could just be my Internet, but I feel like that's unlikely, especially with just restarting it.

[bitter belfry]

When the beta is over they’ll get the freezing fixed

[silk solar]

Anyone know what the 343 bounty emblem looks like for infinite

[knotty haven]

Man, when can we have multiple attachment features in Infinite😔

[turbid terrace]

Apparently there's supposed to be a patch comming out tomorrow that may or may not address the loading issues for the UI.

[severe valve]

I've literally wasted an hour or so of my day waiting for it to load. And that's with having no trouble at all since season four.
