lmao
I wear odst helmet, shoulders, chest, silver visor to be more accurate to H3's odst visors. superintendent emblem on weapons and armor, ODST gun charm, superintendent AI with proper colors.
.
With the odst armor coating to boot
I wear it all
there’s an ODST coating?
Yeah, It's based off of Halo 3's odst, It's the matted dark gray with Urban camo forearms and thighs. Just like in Halo 3
It also comes with the ODST weapon charm
A halo cosplayer I follow posted it on twitter and I haven't jumped out of bed faster than I ever did.
what core is it for?
all of them except for the hazmat suit
Nice! I don't have the weapon charm (it comes with a brown camo pattern, the ODST one was standalone).
On Mark V[b] I also wear Gungnir knees, since it's what ODSTs wore in Reach, and I would wear the UA/NXRA armor for the same reason if I had been around for the event it was in.
Also have a pseudo-ODST on Rakshasa with the Firefall helmet and Survivor chest piece. Once cross-core shoulders come out I plan to put the ODST shoulders on it to have a sort of new-age ODST look.
nice
There's an emblem I have that's a drop pod too. I think it came with the Survivor chest for Rakshasa.
i didn;t know that! I use the super intendant
Er sorry, the chest is called Sacrifice, not Survivor. And the emblem is called Rainbow Hour.
It;s called Brushtread Disruptive.
thanks
say, has anyone gotten their promo items from the mountaindoritosrockstar site yet? just redeemed some of my points but don't have any emails
Man, why even put me in a game with 250+ ping
Who here has been playing halo since the OG xbox days?
I've played halo since CE was on PC a looooooong time ago
when it released on OG xbox
Something about driving at night in a rainy city that has lots of neon lights with Deference For Darkness playing on bluetooth hits different
I've found a bandit evo with the normal bandits model is what is this lol
https://imgur.com/a/xfFrIcO
a known bug dont worry
oh okay
its really stupid that soooo many of the armor coatings are either vaulted, or "coming soon", not in rotation etc. if you have to PAY for these anyway, what difference does it make to rotate them out. like i wanna GIVE YOU my money for this coating but im just not allowed to lol
second complaint is the weapon/equipment placements on maps, in every halo game when you play a specific map and mode there are specific waepon and equipment spawns. why did 343 have to make this change with infinite? you play a specific mode and map, the power weapon rotation and "power equipment spawns are random. one game it could be a sniper, the next a skewer. instead of active camo it can be quantum translocator.
why? this takes the consistency away from matches and the things that are replacing these good items are terrible. i dont think many people would prefer a skewer over a sniper in 4v4, same with quantum over camo. this is just horrible game design tbh.
lastly, the commando rifle is trash and has no place in the game anymore with the DMR and the BR. youre better off using the AR or pistol and never touching that damn thing
in ranked they are set.
If they are available to pick up, then for me it goes:
Bandit EVO > Commando > Bandit
well too bad ranked is so broken its unplayable 😔
what does this even supposed to mean?
skill based match making makes ranked a horrible thing to play
this is... insane thing to say. Because ranked is suppose to give you matches of your rank.
i think youre misunderstanding what i mean. when i play non-ranked i play fairly well, not god tier or anything but im usually top 50% of leaderboard, so the game thinks i need to be in super high skill matches apparently. any match i play in ranked the enemy team is like, onyx 4 stack, vs me and my bronze skill level teammates
this is a really big issue in the game lots of people are complaining about
so, you are a bronze and game matches you with onyx. Then yes this is problem
thats what it feels like. ive never managed to do all my placement matches, because they always are so one sided
"what it feels like" is not really an argument. you have matches of your rank or not?
i dont really know, but the way they set up games is really wack. i suggest you look up a video of someone a bit more educated on the topic explain it for you
it comes down to the skill based matchmaking system, it doesnt work well
its espeically bad in ranked because of the lower population
like in every ranked, if you have games that too heavy for you, then you will lose. Lose enough games and you will get lower rank and will play with someone of your skill. Ranked supposed to work like that in any game.
ya but not to this extent, ive never seen it this strict in any other games that have a more competitive atmosphere. my skill shouldnt be "too high" for my team. it should just place me into an even match
also, i always thought in Bungie games sbmm was way more strict, am i wrong?
no
when i played ranked in halo 5 it didnt feel like this
and when i played ranked in halo 3 it didnt feel like this
youll always have players that are having off games, nobody plays their best every game. but in this game, if you dont you just lose, lose, lose
if youre entire team isnt playing 110% its GG
idk. i don't feel like this even now, and i played this games sinse the og
i feel like 343 need to make it more strict honestly
if you dont have issues with the matchmaking thats good! sadly im not having that experience 😔
i strongly suggest you watch a video about this and see what people think about the system, and if they break it down i think youll agree it doesnt need to be more strict
its strict in non-ranked as well, which is awful
i have to lose a loooot of matches in a row just to get into a lobby thats balanced
i watched some halo youtubers and i have zero idea and i just don't understand. I simply don't see any real arguments. They all saying it is bad and not working but why how and where no information t all. Also it is even funnier when they make video with a lot of kills in it and have some interesting "arguments" about halo being social game or something. Yeah sure, really interesting running around getting 30 kills per game.
they have charts online you can look at where they have an algorithm graph your performance, and if you play a match where you have a rocket launcher and vehicles and get like 40 kills, it cant determine thats an abnormal performance and expect you to play that well consistently
well... duh?
and you think thats a good system?
obviously yes. If you get a lot of kills then you must be pretty good.
Except that it does take into account your average and doesn't think by from playing one match super well you are now onyx level
so as a consequence when i play unranked modes, and i play wel andl when i play ranked i get played into matches far above my skill level and it takes a long time to get out of that
i am almost sure that your ranked and social scores are different no?
And your rank placement does take into account the skill you are playing up against. If you actually were playing against onyx, it would count less losing against them in your placements vs losing to say bronze/silver
well all i know is that when i play ranked my team gets steamrolled every single time
Except that the playlists are separate from each other for the most part
its often the case ill be the top player on my team, once i got 34 kills in a KOTH match and my teammates had like, 5 and 6~
of course, we lost
Gamer tag?
Charmeleeon
i feel your pain. But honestly this is normal to have this kind of games. i once went 0/11 and win the game buy doing objectives so, kills not always counts
thats just to give you an idea of the kind of skill diference the matchmaking decides makes a fair and balanced team line up
its pretty rare that kind of thing happens, more often than not our entire team (myself included) gets rolled
You've only played 12 ranked games total
ya and ive lost them all as you can see
ive had losestreaks bigger in league where matches 30-40min long. So it is whatever.
tho i understand that your morale is low yeah
You've won 3 and one of the ones you've lost y'all almost won and it actually seems pretty fair. You clearly fit in with higher plat/diamond according to this
I think a part of this is you are anxious about playing ranked and it's easier to hop onto the other reasons matches don't always go the best instead of what you might've been able to do.
It's pretty simple. If you have fun, play it. If not, then play other things 
where do you check that stuff?
halotracker
idk it feels like im always just getting rekt tho when im playing
the odd occasion i decide to play anyway
I feel that too, you definitely aren't alone. It's why I like being able to see my stats. Somehow it helps me feel better about losing because it was fair and I need to find out how to better counteract stuff.
I know stats aren't everything but I do feel they help give a better general picture of what's going on and if you are trending a little better
A lot of times I'm on a losing streak, Its because I didn't realize I had actually improved and was playing against tougher people. I just think I'm doing worse.
I'd rather lose knowing I was a little bit outskilled than lose knowing something I should have won but lost was because I did something stupid to a lower skilled player 
I am at my working trip, and decided to play placements with ping over 200. Lose everything and get something like plat 5 or something. Sometimes we just play little bit worse, sometimes we make stupid decisions and sometimes we just tilt
Unfortunately, being able to see your stats doesn't mean you're capable of extrapolating off of them.
I understand that this comment is not related to halo, but every time i see this version of Grievous i feel sad that they don't choose it for all his appearances...
wish they had this stuff in game 😔 but at least i know about the site now
Look at how the stats are displayed on waypoint. Then youll realize why it’s not in game, its barely functional on wp lol
give them a slack. they are small indie company after all.
can u not turn off crossplay for ranked? id prefer to not play against people on controller. i know you can still use one on PC but not everyone will have one
No.
sad
oh my god why am I paired with the dumbest players on CTF...
anyone wanna play ranked arena
Drove up to a guy in a warthog, passenger side towards the guy holding the flag... he runs AROUND the hog and hides besides me
on this day, 11 years ago, Halo 4 released.
i remember playing it while doing my 10th Grade Chemistry Homework and barely completing the campaign before bed lol
On BTB I once drove slowly behind a flag carrier who ran the whole way from their Flag to our capture point, and I honked. That warthog had never been honked that much before, anywhere.
When he captured it I asked why he didn't jump in.
"Thought it was an enemy hog"
sigh
if its a razorback sometimes you have to just run them over and put the flag on the back
justified friendly fire innit
maybe a bit extreme tbh
Push em
:v
Enemy hogs dont wait patiently
am i the only one getting 800 ms
holy crap why does Ranked Slayer take forever to find a match?
Infinite's left-stick aiming always messes me up if i stop playing on controller for a good while
I finally played one match of Halo 5 after maybe six or the more years. My gosh, I can't handle the FOV and the controller lol
Regardless, I still went 17-7 mainly because I grabbed a sword since it made up for my bad controller aim.
mouse and keyboard > than controllers
I meant to say Halo 5 earlier.
there's just maneuvers you can pull off on a mouse and keyboard that you physically can't on a controller
It brought up the good question. If Halo 5 somehow made it to PC possibly within the MCC, how would warzone work? In that game, microtransactions were everywhere with those requisition packs.
yo
microtransactions are one of the main reasons why Halo 5 can't be in MCC
excluding that, they'd probably have to get rid of warzone
Debatable and most likely fake
Then get rid of it. Make the requisition packs just normal rewards that have cooldowns within the mode. That or certain requisitions are just random.
As for cosmetics, it could just be regular unlocks within the passes currently in MCC. You just acquire points, go through the cosmetic unlocks, and there you go. Although, I believe the majority should be unlocked from the start.
can definitely work
The game is almost as big as MCC, if they ever port on PC, it will be separated
When are they selling the halo ce armor in the shop?
November 7th
Unless of course they have separate packs for the campaign and the multiplayer.
Your not wrong, but you arent right either
lol how is it debatable? it's proven you have more freedom on a mouse and keyboard than a controller.
Ehhhh...any 343 official here? Why bots can use cross-core mkv with helmet and shoulder?😂
https://fxtwitter.com/FunLilCharacter/status/1721706880089649387?t=j8c-Di23_sHWqhZx9XnE7w&s=19
I know, but mkv shouldn't have cross-core armor features, right?
I'm more confused by the Agryna thing.
playing this game always reminds me why i never play this game

Am I the only one who still hates the bandit.
Why doesn't husky raid auto fill with a bot when a team mate leaves, it used to do that now its not and other players aren't joining either. If you lose a teammate its 3v4 the rest of the game
343
3v4
wtf.....
peep**pee…
wtf..;..................
uhh
no yuo
Hoping the Mark V Armor is priced fairly tomorrow in the Shop.
if it’s worth more than 1000 credits you might as well just use the Mark V(B) with the Mark V helmet and shoulders
It should cost about 1000-1200 credits.
1500 at the absolute most
But in reality it'll be 2000. And probably 2200. So it costs exactly $20, sucks when a bundle cost 2200 because you dont keep any extra credits after buying the $20 credits
if it’s more than 1200 then I guarantee then you’ll get some coatings and things like that as well
Why can't the armor be worth like 500 credits?
Shouldve been free like the Mark IV in H5
This is 343 we're talking about.
Oh my bad
343: "They like the game now! They will surely pay extra!"
no armor ever has been, I don’t think?
at least it's not something crazy like paying for fileshare
or god forbid, paying for p2p matchmaking
imagine that, crazy tbh
ngl a lot of mobile games operate on some kind of "stamina" system where you can only do x amount of content per fay
Leave the rich 343 devs alone.
The Culling?
only one that comes to mind
i feel like there’s one or two more
yeah the Culling 2
To be honest, 343 doesn't deserve to increase the prices of the packs. They're lucky we're actually still playing this game because the two years of harsh indecision and absolute travesty of updates.
Annnd they doubled down on weird statements and takes.
Wish I could be surprised, but I'm really not.
Hey, we're 343. We're sorry for the two years that we had the game in a terrible state. Does increasing the price of everything make up for it?
so swag
You know, you can actually get across your point that things cost too much without coming across as a total tool?
I know it's a shocker, furry to furry, that you can do that. Believe me, I was utterly flabbergasted the first time I learned that.
discord delighting customers
Tanaka helmet is my fave though
lord, how funny this is to me
I try uvu
there’s so many furries on VRChat that i’ve had to deal with
I wouldn't be surprised if they made you pay for couch co-op.
My advice got ignored. It is a sadge day.
would you really not be surprised?
honestly?
that's more of a bungie thing
Based Bungie
i love being locked out of the horrible paid p2p matchmaking because i didn't buy a aet of maps i don't want
wholesome keanu golden age of gaming
I'm just saying that the content packs need to be reduced in price. I understand the game is free to play, but 343 should also be listening to feedback considering they're on a roll with the good updates. Don't spoil it now.
Especially considering the two years that I mentioned earlier with other broken promises.
They'd likely listen to feedback that isn't chock full of irritating nonsense and hyperbole.
see now that's a statement i can get behind
and then you circled back
what's the verdict @onyx latch
Sometimes I get a little harsh, but there's also warranted meaning behind what I say.
Annoying.
Overall, I like what Halo Infinite is doing nowadays. They just need to keep from stumbling and listen to the feedback, regardless of what other people might disagree with.
Yes, the tiny kernel of legible and agreeable discussion nestled behind mountains of salt and ridiculous statements is meaningful.
speaking of, did you see what lilith put in LSH? I know you’re pretty good at writing, maybe you could help
I did not. I will redress my negligence at my earliest convenience.
it’s late, don’t blame you
It's ridiculous to say what exactly? If you're talking about the rich company text, that's a meme format that has a bigger meaning behind it and I explained it.
If you need it spelled out to you, you are already a lost cause.
If you refuse to tell me what exactly, we're just dragging this out for no reason.
What I'm saying was that the two years that we've had this game, the original developers were insufficient in their work. Most of them are gone already and that's a good thing. The ones that remains or were hired to fix the game did a good job. I'm just saying that when it comes down to the price increases of certain content, it shouldn't be done based on the hardships everybody had to endure.
Aside the game modes and new seasons with extra content and highly praised additions, they also need to just keep a close eye on feedback. If we're upset about the price increases, then make the changes. That's more publicity and praise.
(now I'm either going to receive a logical response or I'm just going to be told I'm a lost cause again)
No, that's just a lot of words that don't justify your whacky "343i killed my dog and burned my crops by making me pay for cosmetics" rhetoric from earlier. It has no higher meaning, it's just meant to sound inflammatory and annoying, and even if I agree that costs should go down, I refuse to play along with your nonsense.
Spamming ludicrous statements such as this only serves to make you come across as childish and irrational, harming the point you make. The fact you act as though that sort of utter nonsense is presenting your statements as some higher level of criticism is laughable.
So not reading what I had to say is the first sign of something bad.
That's something I usually expect within the Call of Duty community.
I'm not saying I didn't read what you said. It's that what you said is utterly bereft of value.
let’s stop with the name-calling and insults, both of you
A lot of words typically means you didn't read or you refuse to do so.
Noted. I'm sorry you feel that way.
I didn't name call the individual here.
not here to argue
both of you stop
move onto to other topics or leave chat for a bit
So I'm wondering when couch co-op is going to be available.
it’s 12 AM here in chicago, can’t imagine it’s earlier wherever you are, Rugged
It's 12:00 a.m. here as well, although I'm not in Chicago thankfully.
Just a mild Jest
bro i swear to god i need to stop getting games where i get players with sub 100 games on my team and enemies with 500+ on average
you can't carry in a game like that, it just isn't possible
Oh well, time to give up then.
What does the "7 Days" above the S5 BP mean? Is the season over in 7 days??
Thats the time until the free track in the season 5 BP expires and the next operation (entirely free) starts,
Nope
its this season though right
Yeah, sometime during this season
sweet
Firefight: King of the Hill is scheduled to come later in Season 5, per the release trailer and announcement
Hello! Does anyone here have experience scripting in Forge? My friend and I made a game mode called Grunt Wars, but there are two bugs that I have no idea how to fix.
You know AI really hope we get Spartan Companies back
I heard a rumor that 343 are working on Commendations for Infinite. Is that true or are they words of the Prophets?
Nothing like that has ever been announced or mentioned anywhere
At least, nowhere I remember seeing
Would be nice tho
What are commendations?
TIL, there is the bandit normal and the bandit EVO with the optical zoom, I wish they had a scope on it to make it easier to know between the two at a glance... Just sayin'
What's the best playlist to get melee kills for someone who is dogwater at mnk?
free for all, probably. Just third party people fighting.
there is?? I know the irons, but maybe it's the gun camo im using? It's not a model swap it's just Multicam
Also, to whover reccomended that I use the VK-78 as a support weapon for defense and not offence. You are right, this gun rocks!
Basically it was a system in Halo Reach to Halo 5 that gave XP, armor, and credits in Reach
How do you use it?
Tap fire at a distance, aim to bust their shields to teamates finnish them off due to the 20 round magazine
uuuuh... i don't see how you want to use it over a bandit then.
idk... i feel like there is no point in using this gun in this state of sandbox honestly...
that's fair, I had teh same feeling until I got used to it
i got used to it long ago. I just don't see the place where it excels. Single tap way better on bandit, range better br, close better sidekick. I don't really see the situation i will use it over other options or start weapons
basically super long challenges that had tiers. So for example, kill 10 grunts for tier one and then kill a thousand for tier five.
It melts people weirdly situationally.
It can excel in the right hands, but most people don't have the right hands.
i mean ofc you can kill with this gun and the ideal ttk is on the faster side... but this ideal ttk is luck based so...
Cool, learn to make your own '''luck''' then.
if you are talking about pacing shots or wait till you get less bloom then your ttk is worse then on the competition. it is what it is
and when you can just lazergun with evo... yeah...
It has a higher rate of fire than the Bandit
nice for repeating shots on target quickly
It’s a bug.
ah
I would love to team up with players who all use full ODST including the shader following a "squad lead" with black armor and a single red shoulder
maybe you could get that going in LFG
that would be fun
2200 big surprise... yeah...
for a green, for a grey, visor and yeah the thing i would like to buy
1 Armor Kit, 2 Coatings & 1 Visor for $22 dollars?
what's a halo ce pose
you know og halo ce art one
Next time I order food, I should break down the cost like this.
Probably talking about the cover though I’m 99% sure there’s a stance of it already
Or at least close to it
there is something close to it. like the kit but i just don't feel it is worth it for the price. Oh well.
I do think it invalidates the claim that cross-core is making stuff mor eexpensive. This is purely them trying to use nostalgia to make money. And its working
Ayo now that i think about it , if they allow us to change the helmets on the kits someday is just going to be halo 5 customization level all over again lmaooo 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

Blamite babyyyy
$22 yikes :/
I was having a feeling it would be $20 but it’s still such a shame that prices are still going up
I had this idea when it comes to bundles in Infinite.
When a bundle is released in the store, each item comes with the bundle just like how it is now etc etc.
But when the bundle rotates out of the store, each item is split up and given an individual price. If you were to buy each item individually, it would effectively cost you more, so bundles would have a little more value.
It essentially is $20 if you just buy the 2200 credit option. Even less if you have Game Pass.
I’m still kinda bummed that it’s $20 tho
I still don't get why there's so much amazement
That has been the price for a big bundle for a while now.
When is the operation releasing?
14th
Thanks
are challenges broken or do super fiesta varients not count
I was hoping that the MA40 would get an MA5B weapon model kit...
none of the weapons have kits like armor does
Well, kinda. The AR has a kit/model that completely changes how every single part of it looks.
It dropped with an early S4 bundle.
I know, but it isn;t the CE classic like the armor

If anybody remembers that from nearly 20 years ago, I salute you.
Since the beginning of this game, everytime I do my 5 match in ranked, I get Gold VI. In 2 years I never got any better. Also, every game in ranked, my team mate leave
Since when can machines get the clap?
@native spoke this is more suited for #1076327824924872755
Ok thanks, I will delete and move
Make a brand new account and try to see what you get. Placement matches are a bunch of nonsense, it's based off your global MMR so if you've played a bunch of games that's going to be pretty steady now.

Yo can I just join any btb group no problem?
Does ANYONE in the Halo community understands what the word "canceled" means?
Bonnie Ross promised it would happen. Are you saying she lied?
Let's see, Bonnie Ross, a former 343 employee made an empty promise about future Halo games getting splitscreen 8 years ago.
Halo Infinite comes out and does include splitscreen for multiplayer but nor for campaign
Splitscreen for campaign is being worked on but ultimately canceled
No, she didn't lie, the mode got canceled
the missions change. they always do
it has splitscreen tho
Imagine your uncle says he will go to your wedding which is going to be in 8 years from now.
A few weeks before the wedding complications happen and your uncle dies, as a result, he doesn't go to your wedding
Did he lie to you when he promised he would go?
Work was already started on it, there was never a lie about this. It was a promise made that I don't think anyone thought they'd have to break.
It was either continue with splitscreen development on campaign, or move staff to work on other features and bug fixes. They ultimately chose the not-so-easy decision of abandoning a promised feature in favor of progressing other requested features
also Microsoft has usage statistics
it's likely they saw the whopping tens of people who actually used splitscreen in infinite and decided to pull the plug
They said it clearly, they didn't have the resources to finish it
They shouldn't have even bothered with it like they didn't bother with assassinations
Those people were lying, I did the workaround myself
Every checkpoint lagged the game for up to 1 minute, you couldn't even complete the campaign because it crashed at the final missions, and a ton of areas could get you softlocked
It was not in a stable shippable state
As an example, there were extremely high chances of game save corruption among some of the issues
Performance was another big one
In what world does it sound better to share half a screen with 1 person than playing with other 3 people each one with their own screen since we're not in the stone age anymore and online play exists?
The choice was made for the health of the game, which has greatly improved since then, knowing full well the backlash they would take from making that decision.
We'd have a very different game right now and probably nowhere near as good as it's gotten
No, it would be a lie if they had never worked on such feature, but they were
Overwatch 2 is an example of lying
Blizzard promised a PvE mode and they cancelled it before even showing anything about it
Infinite at least had splitscreen for multiplayer as proof that the coding was there
Anyone think the missing material response for needler projectile impacting vehicles is ever going to be fixed?
You have no substance to prove that 343 was lying
I was hoping the missing effects for the needler hitting vehicles would be fixed since the theme is needlers, the needles still vanish when impacting vehicles, they should detonate or impact like ever other surface not vanish
sometimes it’s nice to have your teammate right next to you
Sometimes, and by some I mean all the times, companies don't care about that and will prioritize what gives them more money
A few days ago, I suddenly got the strangest urge...
I threw Halo Wars in my 360 and started grinding skirmishes
(this channel doesn't let me post media...)
but my latest achievement dates now go 2009, 2009, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2023, 2023, 2023, 2023
Too bad I'll probably never have another chance to play this against a human...
You do know it's backwards compatible with the new consoles, it's also on PC, and on Game Pass, right?
Anyone with a little bit of spare time can download it
I pulled up the PC version but there were no lobbies
Its gotta be said, BTB needs maps that are more open and less constrictive
and the spawns on BTB slayer are completely bonkers. No team sides, you'll often just be put in front of 5 enemies.
This game is so close to greatness but these little things that are so easy to fix...

I know they never specified the issue - but I thought one of the reasons discussed was that it just wasn't going to work on the Xbox One. Or at least take up serious man-power that was desperately needed elsewhere.
It's probably because of a few hard decisions like this that 343 have been able to turn the ship around in Seasons 4 and 5.
Hey does this game like just not work for anyone else? I can't play a single game without teleporting all over the place like an anime or getting "Unstable Jitter" constantly. It's honestly exhausting.
sounds like bad wifi
hardwired
internet then
I have it happen to me a lot when I get in vehicles.
funny it's only halo.
funky netcode go brrrrrrrrr
This game has a ton of bugs, indy dev afterall, so you might have to look up your problems
i'm so tired of troubleshooting this game
Whenever you remember Infinite's dark times of slow and small content updates
Just remember Nickelodeon All Stars Brawl, just now, 2 years after launch, is just getting alternate skins
Had they never actually intended to release splitscreen, yeah they would have lied about their promise. The intent was always to build it, but other issues with the game took focus and they had to drop it.
It sucks for people that were looking forward to it, but these things happen
Yeah but that was never a franchise on track to become the next Star Wars before 343 did their magic
I think the only BTB maps I like are the one's that are complete mirrors of the other side, there is no map advantage to being the team on one side or the other, just purely based on team comp. I remember one time i played CTF and their second flag spawn was in a literal fortress and our second flag spawn was in a shed...
Non symmetrical BTB maps don’t belong in Halo. It was a bad trend that started in Reach
That is not a reason to raise the bar, these are individual games
Uhhh Hello? Relic and Zanzibar in Halo 2?
Asymmetrical BTB maps have been since Halo 2
I miss Beaver Creek. That should be in the official rotation instead of relying on custom games.
Yeah, and they worked ok for assault, not for ctf
I think the worst offender for that was Boneyard. One flag on an open staircase, the other in a heavily defended base.
one team got an easy run up to the high ground with all the powerweapons, the other was forced to take a crane and get mowed down
That's why One Flag was created
Is One flag even in BTB infinite? Haven't seen it.
Unless it has been and I just didn't know, why hasn't grifball been added to infinite?
there is in custom games
And should stay that way

Maybe not
Halo 5 has my favorite Grifball in the series and that one did make it to matchmaking
The point is that they had every intention of delivering on that promise, until the issues with the game over launch forced their plans to change.
Yeah, accussing them of lying is uncalled for
They spent more time trying to make Infinite an overwatch clone then try to make coop functional at launch. And yes, they did PROMISE split screen during development of Halo infinite, repeadedly.
anyways, most of the people responsible for that mess are no longer working at 343, so its pointless to argue about it
pretty much a fresh company at this point
Then why even bring this up in the first place?
They did lie. I recall the official announcement stating that they would always have split screen going forward. This would be implied that it's not just for multiplayer, but also campaign as well.
That little snippet was actually used in a video from a guy known as The Act Man. It was in his "I'm done with Halo Infinite" video around 7:20.
wonder how many issues would've been avoided if they just made it next gen only
You should scroll up and read the entirety of this conversation
I understand that resources had to be allocated elsewhere. But now that we're in a good state, do you think the resources should be reallocated again towards that promise despite it being a little too late?
I think that would honestly generate a lot of positivity as a company that came back from the brink and gave us what we wanted despite the length of time it took.
It would only be "lying" if they had no intention of making it happen.
And it's quite clear from the "demo" that their intention was to complete the mode.
As some stage it became too hard - and not worth the effort when resources could be better spent elsewhere. Like fixing desync.
There is still way more to do. eg. Desync. Custom games browser. And so on.
And if it is actually the Xbox One that was the main stumbling block in the first place - it may just be easier to wait until MS archive that console.
It doesn't seem worth the effort at this point. It was scrapped quite a few months after campaign launch, it is now 2 years since then. It'd likely require a lot of effort for very little gain. Look at Baldur's Gate 3; admittedly, they're different games entirely, but even on current gen hardware, it's difficult to get SC working on every machine.
You'd need to yeet the possibility of Xbox One ever having campaign SC, and then the Series S may also present trouble. Although I doubt it, just from its base performance already.
My favourite map of all time. So many memories. We'd pretty much finish every Halo session with a custom game of shotties on Beaver Creek.
Even though Beaver Creek is a great map, I'm still awaiting the official introduction of lockout. That is officially my number one map in all of Halo, especially with the Halo 3 remake and the epic trailer for that content long ago.
Look up the Halo 3 Darkness map pack trailer. The poem that is quoted is extremely good.
There's a version of Lockout coming in the Mountain Dew event isn't there?
Yes. I haven't kept up with the release date, but I think it's coming up either this month or next month. I'm not quite sure.
That was pretty cool...
hey is anyone having issues loading the infinite store?
overwatch clone
lol
repeatedly promise
double lol
lol no
Would you say that the issue is that it's "infinitely" loading? 
reddit moment
Cope and Seethe
r/halo is over yonder
I'm sorry not everyone enjoyed Franky, Bonnie, and Kiki's slop for 10 years kiddo
Btw Kiki Wolfkill got promoted
Its fine when they break them because you have people like the guy below to explain it
when you do not need to
what
greentexting on discord?
using carats for quotes was a thing before imageboards yes
no issues noticed
ah, so you're also poorly informed or delusional
digital foundry? the same bozos who walked back their claim of no issues?
either he's blind, or being dishonest, because there were massive quality issues
if they're saying that the splitscreen had no issues then yeah
ok
that doesn't change the fact that splitscreen had major perf issues on the xbone consoles
@wide trout do you have the pic of the grunt reduced to like 5 polygons
That's breaking a promise. It's not the same as lying. Not by a long shot.
"even when they don't need to" - is purely speculative on your behalf.
And while broken promises aren't good - it's usually OK as long as there were valid reasons - or you get something else out of the deal. And in this case we are probably good - the extra resources helped produce the turnaround with Season 4 and 5.
Time to build a bridge.
magical update to make the xbox one not a ~10 year old console
We've just had this entire conversation do we really need to do the whole thing again?
He never claimed there were no issues, and his analysis clearly showed there were issues abound. There were frame drops on the Xbox One version, a drastic resolution decrease, and LoD that is bad on the base Xbox One. They also mention it has a high likelihood of corrupting your saves. The seal of approval came from John's kid, and if you're referencing the video's original title, it was changed as it was an editorial decision to include 'excellent,' which John didn't put there himself.
unnecessarily
just because some youtuber lied about it not having issues doesn't mean it didn't have issues
the one you took?
idk it’s in LSH somewhere
no the one from df's own video
the one where they walked back the title after falsely claiming it had no issues
video game development doesn't work that way
or development at all
it's like saying someone made mscalc open faster, so they should be able to make ms word faster
what cyberflop did has no bearing on specific features from a different game using a vastly different engine
I looked that up a couple of weeks ago... while playing it. Apparently it's the gamertag of the guy who made the first map. It goes way back even though I only remember it in Halo 5.
It was a joke. Husky as in the husky dog.
this is like saying
"they made vlc open files faster so they should be able to make encoding with ms live encoder faster"
two different things
different features
there is no universal button they can push that makes the software more gooder
you think that unrelated things have a bearing on each other
conclusive, probably not, but at least I'm vaguely familiar with software development
pray tell, what did you mean here then
be specific
considering the abysmal fanbase anything that wasn't perfect would met with the usual amount of screeching
and also, the issues with splitscreen were not limited to graphical ones
“Abysmal fanbase” are you an ex employee or something? A producer is not entitled to their consumers.
Might wanna shave that neck beard while you’re here
You kinda just proved his point
oh no how dare i call a fanbase bad
The Halo fanbase is not bad just because they were upset with the past 10 years, you're baiting
da hay low fanbwase is vewy vewy mad >:((((
Yo ac you're not wrong but this ain't it chief.
He’s pretty correct. I still remember when halo 5 came out and people laughed at us for being upset clamber was a thing
noooo clamber bweaks the holy golden dodecahedron of hey lo
The absolute state of the fanbase when a free halo came out and it was corpotrash was pure insanity, however this is the dedicated discord
Dodecahedron of no movement (there’s no sides because there’s no movement)
i mean, remove the free part and you got every halo
The fan base gets enraged at each release ever since halo 2 released
Not anything new
and yet the fanbase loves lumping together anyone who doesn't worship the bungie games and/or has a vaguely positive opinion of the 343 games
I got so enraged at halo 2 being either on vista or on xb that i quit halo for like 18 years and I was paid to play halo
If that’s the look I’m giving off then read what I said again
That’s a very strong assumption
Halo Infinite is a fun game
Konami wasn't boycotted for canceling Silent Hill PT
But you wanna bury 343 deep into Hell for canceling campaign splitscreen
Give me a break
Dang can't believe they monetized the color black. Lol dang, but hey if 2200 credits is worth having the color black go ahead... I think I'll wait till the Noble six Black grayish color becomes cross core
I wanted the armor in my case.
That's fair, still feels like the black should have been a cadet color, the green itself doesn't even seem special as I have cadet Olive.
The coatings portion really feels like a rip off with that bundle.
I'm just going to go out on a limb and assume they will also monetize The color solid white next?
But they are being called out on it.
The game is still looking good, but just feels scummy to be charging for a default colors again.
They really put gravity hammer in every single map of the extraction 24/7 playlist...
I don't disagree, I feel the Mark V should've been an unlock same as Mark VI along with its kit items.
For me it was an easy No to that Bundle, I don't really care for the armor kit, I'd prefer the Halo wars 2 armor as a core.
Don't care for the green coating because I have cadet Olive and the Anniversary Green.
And as far as the black coating, I already bought a black coating that has the red accents on it. So I'm not spending money for the less exciting version of that coating.
But yea man it really felt like it should of been an armor you had to earn, maybe by beating the game on LASO
my brother in christ you don't have to double space your posts
I do that with longer post because it's easier on the eyes for some
That's fair, I enjoy using it as I really love how it looks, but it's baffling that 343 or Microsoft decided to do this, like yes it will earn money but its also a scummy decision. Maybe I'm too soft but I really wanna believe that the decision to make Mark V paid wasn't their decision but some exec or shareholder. Not saying they can't make dumb decisions cause they do, but maybe they really did think it was okay(it wasn't) decision since Mark VI was made an unlock.
I don't mind, helps me see your points easier.
Oh for sure this decision was handled by the. Business team.
They knew no matter what price they put on it players would buy it, so they capitalized on that.
It makes sense when you realize the store is the only form of revenue they get. So it's bound to get predatory to some degree.
Am I allowed to post a video here
This will help anyone having issues with scripting!
It's sad honestly, I feel there are creative people at 343 who truly enjoy Halo as the lore I read up on by them actually intrigues me sometimes. But when the business side of things makes a decision you can't really change their minds all that easily, hopefully people kicking up a fuss will(eventually) make the price decrease.
The best Halo books have come out during the 343 era
So talent there is
The best books during Bungies era were Flood and Fall of Reach if I remember correctly right? assuming since I've read The Flood and only heard those two mentioned in terms of their books.
True, different people like different things.
once a cobra bit master chiefs leg. after five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.
This feels like a reworked Chuck Norris joke from back in the day.
peta will not comment
Is anybody able to register on the Mountain Dew website for the codes? The button has did nothing for two days now.
holy crap
a chuck norris joke
in 2023
They weren't bad books, the issue is that they overexplained many things that many (myself included) would have liked to keep a mystery.
Its an opinion thing
I have the mountain tiger coating and other items, it took a bit for the message to pop up
you got the Precursors out of it which is fundamentally what the Forerunners used to be
the “great big mystery” that is
I really didn't like what they did with Ancient humanity and the foreunners, if I had one criticism that stood out to me it was that Ancient Humanity stuff
But again, some people really liked that stuff, so what can you do
^fake fan
I can’t even get an account on the website :/
The mailing part was glitched for me, had to type it in manually to get it to work.
is the challenge system broken?
elaborate?
Hey is the MT dew merch already in stores to get the codes, I really just want the skin. That think looks nice
challenges wont show up
filter by citrus cherry
Hey guy, I am canadian and I would like to find a way to get the Mountain Dew cosmetics. Anyone know how/where I could find a code? (I wish I could also taste those, but that might be harder).
Yes
Excellent I don't drink it but I have family that does so they go and get me the codes
Does anyone have any screenshots of what's new in the the shop besides the 20 dollar armor kit
why is ranked slayer 3 mins and 46 secs to match?
More than likely because not enough players in your region are playing it to create a faster search
Thank you, after seeing it I think I'll be passing on this week's offers, especially the camo that looks like a bad night out after a lot of alcohol lol
So basically cinder ash is Midnight frost but without the red... And The Halo CE Green is barely much different than Cadet Sage
If anyone from 343 is reading this... Just know if the Halo wars 2 armor is released as a core and not a kit... I would gladly pay 2200 credits for that ...
Just saying
Is there a way to disable kill effects of the other people in infinite? I really dislike to see this effects when I die or when someone else die.
I enjoy the wolf Howl kill affect . It's on ally weapons

This this what I feel sometimes
Dear fellow Halo fans,
I am currently doing research for a video about Halo Infinite's customization system and what they could do to improve it.
Features they could add, features that are missing, so on and so forth. I have decided to come to the community for help in a way.
I want to know what the most dedicated Halo fans want most when it comes to creating your personal spartan.
I only ask that you keep your comments brief, and if you can please try not to repeat what others have already said. I know
that it cannot be helped to a certain extent, but I just thought I would ask. Thank you so much, and I look forward to reading
what all of you have to say!
I feel like prices are not worth it. And bundles in infinite is for some reason way worse then in every other game with bundles
But again it is not gonna change so whatever. I already done with caring about it.
Maybe check "Halo infinite ideas" and "Halo Cosmetic Discussion" under the "halo-infinite" tab
I had already given my opinion on that.
Thank you
Make a thread in the #1076337363770417172 section - you're more likely to get focused responses.
Does anyone actually like the visual filter applied to Reach? 343 actually made a good decision (intentional or not) to remove it. Adding it back has made Reach feel so much worse.
Yes, exactly.
is it possible to have 24 players in a custom game
yea just go lobby options and set it to 24
Which is why its frustrating (you cant)
$20 to get master man armor 😬
when mid season update drops does that include an additional 50 levels in the battlepass
I've never stuck around for one so.
no there are only 50 levels in this seasons battlepass
since the coatings and armor pieces have been condesed down
coatings are cross-core and armor pieces have been bundled into one tier now
that means only 500 credits. F
indeed
I purchased the pass.
The 50 tiers is much nicer than 100.You would be surprised how nice it is to get both shoulder pieces instead of one at a time.
All in all, they put great stuff in this pass.
It's 55 vs. 68 items, new vs. old, but the upcoming free event pass has like 23 vs. 8 so we're definitely getting more dress up for the same cost this way I hope they don't reverse course
This is horrible. I fortunately don't have money issues but I can make a week's worth of lunches for less than 20$. It's unacceptable.
It makes no sense and it would narratively be a bit weird but I would 100% support Buck replacing Chief.
Buck huh? Solid choice.
Interesting choice in fact, i have heard people say Locke.
Too bad there isnt really any good spartan III candidates.
Thats the question.
343 focuses on Chief.
If we lose him, will they find someone else to fill his hole, or do what they are doing for the multiplayer seasons and have an over arcing focus on a group, in this case, building the spartans IVs back up (there is no focus on a singular person)?
With the heavy presence of Locke in Halo 5, and it being series suicide to remove campaign, I think 343 will find a replacement for Chief when he eventually retires.
Jerome-092 my beloved
Hmmm.
Yea, possibly.
As for Jerome, they will have to pull the Spirit of Fire back into the fold of the UNSC.
ya its not even like a thing about if u can afford the prices
its more like, these prices are just too high for what it is, like... idk
ya its a free game i get it, but that doesnt mean they should charge so much money for a little bit of customization. i wouldnt say no to it being $10-13, that seems a lot better
obviously the intention is to make as much money as possible and charging people for these great cosmetics is a good way to raise profits for sure. but it seems like the value of money drops when it comes to video games
it should cost exactly 1170 cr
my OCD would flare up from an uneven amount of credits 😭

idk if 343 has any say in setting the prices, but this is sadge

If they have data that shows people are willing to pay $20 for it, they will do it.
Personally, i do see people with these expensive items, but not a lot. I would be sweating in the marketing room discussing dropping the price.
The data most likely supports these prices as the ideal profit point
The hurf durf my money crowd is kinda a lul tho
Bragging about being suckers is a strange flex
The rational I saw from someone who's presumably in the money side of things makes sense tbh.
Regarding the prices being based off of what people are willing to pay, even if it's solely based on scarcity v price. There's people who don't spend all their time here or on Twitter who don't have the same thought process as people grandstanding about how cool they are for refusing to pay or people who voice the fact they have the agency to decide to buy a thing or not.
There is no scarcity. Supply of pixels is infinite. There's exclusivity, if anything, but that's based upon bad valuation of dress up in a video game.
Why are forge maps getting removed by 343 lol
In what context?
They most likely violate the TOS but without knowing what you're talkin about....tough to say!
Not that kind of scarcity.
The scarcity in how many people bought the unlimited product and the looks you get for it. It's a similar concept to, say, unusuals in TF2. There's functionally unlimited unusuals from functionally unlimited loot crates, and the only thing that gives it any value is the rarity of how much you were willing to spend on the item in question.
If I had unlimited money and unlimited time, I could unbox unlimited burning flames team captain hats; It's personal preference and maybe personal finances keeping people from doing so. Same logic applies to animations, cosmetics, etc etc in these permanent stores. The scarcity isn't in the item being functionally something you can never run out of, though it's often mistaken for being the scarcity referred to, which again I'd like to stress, isn't the scarcity actually being meant. The scarcity is in having a cosmetic that is rarely utilized or owned, always present or no.
No just because they have blood
Oh no, the studio that has its own TOS actually deletes things that violate its TOS. The humanity, truly.
Blood ain't tos
The only maps that have ever been removed are ones that went like waaaaaay overboard. That was also months and months ago, haven't heard of it happening recently
Brah halo lore literally has billions of humans die in it
Well it has happened recently and it wasn't bad maps at all
To you maybe, if the Safety team had to remove it then it must have stepped over some lines
https://www.xbox.com/en-US/developers/rules
Alright, so the second rule under the "What are the rules" regarding user content from back in 2015 explicitly states "Whether an Item is "objectionable" is up to us, but you can expect us to be concerned if a significant number of people in the game’s community or the public at large report the content as offensive.".
While the documentation here is circa 2015, the GCUR likely has not changed that ruling.
So yes, quite literally, it is in their TOS that it is up to them. While it does not explicitly state blood, it would likely be covered under any one of the last few catagories of specific mentions of things that go against the TOS as far as allowed content.
Man matchmaking for Infinite is so bad even with expanded
Like I cannot find a match in under 5-10 minutes in any playlist today, usually it's not that bad
That's more of an Oceanic thing.
Keep in mind that it's also determining your matchmaking partners by their settings as well. No offense, but I'd rather not play with someone who's suffering with high ping due to being Australian.
Or, heaven forbid, being stuck on an Oceanic server instead of a US one.
Fair, it just sucks because I wanna play so bad but cannot
Custom browser is always out of the option 200+ ping most times
Very rarely is there an oce hosted lobby from my findings
Yeah, it sucks that Halo's not that popular on that corner of the globe.
Best of luck to you in that regard. Maybe try reaching out in LFG groups on Reddit or something.
... Or maybe not, considering the default Reddit response whenever Halo comes up.
Mhmmm
MCC and Halo 5 I find are easier to actually matchmake for than Infinite some days
MCC understandably so because it has a better matchmaking system and multiple games
That is "exclusivity". use the right terminology.
"it's exclusive to people who spend a ton of money on vidya dressup"
I would if I knew it. Now I do.
Or at least whatever version of the terminology you prefer.
Still, both sides are annoying and laughable in their own ways. Pretending to have loftier ideals because you decided to utilize your wallet one way or the other for what's ultimately spending money on a hobby (or not) as you see fit (or don't) is the peak of infantile position-jockeying that runs rampant in gaming circles. It's like giving someone crap for using Citadel paints instead of Vallejo to paint their Warhammer minis based purely on the cost of the paints and the stuff GW gets up to over any intrinsic quality difference.
Scarcity implies that there is a limited supply it's not "my version" I'm not twifty
love getting games where one person on the other team is dominating and then it's also a smurf account. funny part is they've played enough to where the system should know this, but still puts them in our game.
does the GCUR apply to UGC?
They probably derank enough to where this happens
god i love joining a game of ctf where its 2 flags to 0 as soon as you join then leaving, re queueing and getting put back into the same game its just great
Anyone seeing increased crashing on pc? Last few days have been terrible for me, only a recent thing but last couple of days I think I've had 4 crashes
I'd assume so. If nothing else I assume it establishes a precedent for Microsoft properties as I doubt they stray far from this.
i find it really funny that Infinite now loads faster on my Xbox One S (with a hard drive) than my PC (with an NVMe SSD)
i think it's a side-effect of the shader compilation driver bug that was a thing recently-ish
My loading screen starts at 50% now that I updated Nvidia drivers. I'm sure you've done that too though.
yep, it still loads in 30-60 seconds, much much better than recently, but it used to load in seconds before Season 5
just a nitpick though, not game-breaking by any means
Yeah, every time I start Halo Infinite on PC even with the game installed on my m.2, it still takes a little bit to load.
Originally, launching the game was instantaneous after the intro cutscene.
So I’m curious how many years do you think it will be before a new Halo single player experience (either infinite dlc or new game)
Honestly, I'm not looking forward to the next one.
The thing about Halo Infinite is that I enjoyed the moment to moment gunplay and game mechanics……I just for the life of me can barely remember anything about the story. Atriox destroys infinity, timeskip atriax is dead (as far as the story is concerned) Cortana is already dead and something something banished, something new threat called the endless
I really hope in the next game they don’t do open world again, that just made the game feel really unfocused IMO
sounds like you didn't pay attention
and I hope they refine the linear/open world hybrid model, it was an interesting change from the purely linear setup
Will the mark v kit like not be available for purchase after this week
idk if it will go away that soon, but it might
I’m hoping that with next weeks Operation’s event, we will be having our first look of a Firefight playlist introduced
I just want to say, there's always 1 person in every match that just dominates. I'm sooo sick of how much 1 person can determine the outcome of a match.
Ok so halo CE Magnum and Assault Rifle. Thoughts on just how good were they back in the day as I feel nostalgic. The Magnum was like a pocket sniper thanks to it's range and reliable recoil. While the Assault Rifle lacked accuracy at significant ranges it could easily send enough lead down range at CQC ranges to guarantee a kill.
Man I really hope we get better stability on pc
It’s super annoying to basically always get 1-2 losses every time I play due to crashes
I got a RTX 2060, with 48 gigs of RAM, running on a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 core on a gigabyte b450m ds3h motherboard, with seven fans, three hardrives, and a corsair rm850x. So far I haven't experienced any significant lag or a crash.
Got 3 today and gave up. Its worse today than in the past idk what changed
Im running lower settings than that it reccomends. Theres no good way to do a crash report or get support
That is honestly weird. I think I play on medium settings.
My friend who is on another machine has the same issue slightly better though.
Some of the stuff I got in here are like three or so years old and it runs fine?
Its something else, its not a pc specs issue
Connection issue probably.
Conneciton with what? the entire game freezes
Well if it's not a pc issue it has to be soemthing else.
BIOS: F9 (type: UEFI)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.6GHz
Memory: 24576MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 24506MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
Last time I submitted a report they didnt give me anything new to try but I submitted it again...
Its a combo of this machine + halo. Other games dont have this issue
Rocket League, Destiny, run fine. Never had a single crash on Elden Ring or Starfield
Well I don't know what to say man.
You try the CPU fix on YT? Use all them cores!
whats that
Did Infinite drop trying to tell a story in multiplayer? I remember they were doing all the cinematics every season but it doesn’t look like they did that for season 5
Mid-season update when
Been wondering that myself. Either it comes out in this upcoming operation, or the next one in December
Ideally the former
I want to buy mark 5 kit, but at the same time I don't want to...
but just think...you can put the nail polish coating on it.
and make Chief glamorous
I do have this coating...
look how fabulous
jokes aside. it's a really nice rendition. but yeesh that price is definitely eye watering
1/3 the cost of Infinite's Campaign
The price for it is just... Too much. And like I already have something about 6k credits ready for purchase, but I just don't feel like this is worth it. I wonder if this is a fomo thing
man i want a account thats close to the hero rank lol
then you best begin playing.
Did you know if you press and hold with the ravager you can use a plasma grenade like shot
But with fiery resedue
No way...
Price is too much for such little customisation options, I'd love if they gave us the shoulders and helmet unkitted alongside it, and then maybeeee
Also woulda been cool to see a halo ce assault rifle model come with it. I feel like that's missed opportunity
Maybe next year 🤷
Actually yeah. There is some other bundle with s7 model and other stuff inside at the same cost...
Not like anything will change at this point anyway...
I'm still not convinced about kits in general even after the changes and all tbh
Like the kit looks awesome buuut kits is not my thing
I just don't see why I can't get the kit by the different pieces...
I imagine it's because kits are meant to be just full skins that are just on that design
Like with the flood kit too
But I don't see it that well executed in Halo
I understand, but you can clearly can see different pieces of existing armour in this kit. So I kinda don't see why not.
Oh totally
If I can use any armor from that kit and mix some other armor stuff I would buy it 100% but because how it is that way is kinda like not worth imo
yeah for the flood stuff it seems like both the shoulder and helmet pieces could be unkitted, other parts i can see why theyre as a kit like the undersuit being covered. but there are clearly pieces we should be able to use outside of that
i hope kits do become more ambitious so as to not spark these kinds of issues, but as these kits are. it seems like a waste of money
There is other kits that do have all their parts in the bundles or passes, like cut Eva helmet from reach guy.
I think I will buy this bundle, but probably because I have credits already and this will be probably last time I do so.
my favorite activity is other players loading
I might look at the coatings and see how they look before I spend my credits. I’m seriously considering to just pass it over
Dark grey and green. Yeah... It is whatever
I already have Deathly Poison, so maybe not. More so if it ever gets crosscore
It's not like is going anywhere, seems like the old bundles from this season are still in the store
If not, I just wait for the next season and be added in armory like past bundles
Has anyone here played Grunt Wars in customs? How was it?
Why put me in 280 ping ranked games man
as a handicap for the other players 😤
I have not heard of Grunt Wars.
I heavily play custom games and will def check it out.
Has anyone made it through Duck Hunt?
I am always sniped on the last stretch of the obby...😅
I'd appreciate that. Just looking for a little feedback on it. I spent a few days putting together an upgrade system for your Grunt allies whenever you kill the boss. Not really sure if it even makes a difference in the mode. Grunt Wars is like BTB Husky King of the Hill, so it might be getting lost in the chaos 😅
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
is it just me or does prism feel pretty unbalanced
You made the game?
What is the objective, so I know before i jump in?
How many people is it set up to play? I want to make sure I play it with the proper amount of people.
The objective is to kill enemies and hold the central hill to score. Default score to win is 2000. Each team starts with 8 allied Grunts. When you kill an enemy Grunt, the Grunt joins your team.
Brute bosses spawn every so often that, when killed, upgrades your Grunt's weapon and turns the player who landed the killing blow into the King. Kings have a customized Overshield and a Gravity Hammer to help clear the hill. The King buff lasts for 60 seconds and currently persists through death.
Scales with any number of players. Intended for 4v4, but honestly it's more fun with big teams. I'd think 8v8 or 10v10 is the sweet spot, but I've had 12v12 games that were bonkers.

I clicked the links. Though, I play on the X, so i will manually find them.
When you kill a grunt, it joins your team? 😄 That is different.
Really intriguing idea.
Sounds more than fun. I will hit up a few people and give it a few plays.
Man, those crazy brute chieftains with hammers are always a blast.
For real. This one hotdrops into the middle of the hill. All of the little Grunts go flying. Good times.
Yo, I played your gamemode a few days ago, it was crazy fun
Ha, cant wait to see that.
As a custom game player, i thank everyone who takes their time to make these games.
Just to give feedback, I think 8 Grunts are very few, they die very quickly, and they don't respawn
Also regarding the boss, I don't know if it was glitched or intended, but we always got a Brute Chieftain
And again, he died rather easily
Thanks for the feedback! I'll increase the number of Grunts per side to 12 (24 total). The AI cap at one time is 32, so that'll leave me some extra wriggle room for bosses and other wrinkles.
At the moment, the boss is always a Brute Chieftain. I can see what I can do about creating a Boss Randomizer. No promises. 🙂 I can try to increase his health, too. Good call.
RE: Grunt respawning. So there's a fun bug where, after 20 minutes, the Grunts stop respawning. Nobody knows why. If anyone here has any ideas, please let me know. (There's another bug where Generic Zones stop submitting scoring ticks after the first round, which means the hill stops working on round 2 onwards. Hopefully 343 can fix these issues soon, but that's why the default for the map is 12 minutes/1 round.)
I am tempted to look at the script. I've encountered weirdness in AI scripts too though
When does halo 3 radar doubles come back? They used to rotate the second Wednesday of every month.

just had to do my least favorite thing: quit a game. it was 2v8

I can't post images here just ask and I'll send the screenshots in dm
Are the covenant from halo 4 - 5 a subspecies of their counterparts from 1 - 3
Yes
The Elites you see in Halo 4 and 5 did not grow up in Sangheilios like those you saw in 1-3, but rather one of its moons, Hesduros

Is the mark v limited time only or is it a permanent item?
Limited for now but will probably return or become available in the customisation menu
I’d bet on it coming back
Should be a permanent item one could by via the customization menu.
Has it ever been established what sort of gameplay features we’ll see in Combined Arms? The only thing that comes to mind is the Repair Field equipment, and I don’t even know if it will be in this Operation or the next
Idk but I got it yesterday
I noticed the battlepass switcher already has the combined arms background
theres a rainbow six siege sledge nameplate that you can equip rn if anyone wants a new one to use
any clue on why there wasnt an annoucement for this on twitter or did i miss something?
can anyone help me identify a helmet? idk if i can post images here or not
are forge map links allowed in show n tell
If you made them

the game also works pretty fine, except for the usual serverlag and some mild glitches like when you break the scene render of the player stance in multiplayer menu by clicking into the Battlepass and immediately hit [ESC] to get a full black, no lighting render of your spartan with only the armor effect glowing ominously
halo infinite active on pc guys ? eu region
yes
Unless they are referring on PC, which there is no splitscreen there iirc
would be wild for all this 2 people who will actually use it.
For the 2 people out there will love it
It already has it...
That's a very old card. You're behind by quite a few generations of GPUs. We're at the 40 series right now.
And maybe in the next year, we're going to go to the 50-series with GPU tech.
on PC?

I appreciate how far Halo's Forge has evolved.
Guys… I don’t like to beg, but I’m at my wits end about the Mountain Dew Promotion. I am in Canada and just can’t find help. I am wondering if anyone here would offer me codes. I’d gladly buy you the snack, if needed 😶
gungoose is actually kinda crazy
No, I am not a poor soul, I am just asking here because there are a lot of people from the USA here, and they may have access to the promotion codes 👍
gonna move countries to get halo cosmetics tbh…
Last week, everyone were begging for some exclusive chinese skin on Party Animals 😂 but we had something to trade, so it was easier, exclusive skin from Discord Nitro (they said Discord is banned in China).
Really?
Because I'm in the official Naraka Bladepoint Discord, and that game is Chinese
I can see discord being banned in China
But that is what everyone said 🤷♂️ Perhaps they have no way to subscribe to Nitro (which you needed for the skin)
You're right. Discord is banned in China.
Idk
I guess I would check back here from time to time. A lot of times if people have extras, they'll drop the codes in chat for the first person who scoops them up
that reminds me to buy a case of dew. 
So I was thinking of a way to do Warzone. Have the point buying system of the cod zombies maps to buy weapons at a base, And then have the gamemode be strongholds and place different bases around the map and then have AI reinforcements inbetween the bases
Sounds doable! There's a point-buying system script floating around that you could plug into your map to save you some time.
So I increased the number of Grunts per team to 10 because I hard-crashed when I tried to set it to 12 or 11 per team. 😅 The Brute Chieftain should have more health now.
Also I added Gruntcannons so they get shot from the base directly into the middle of the hill. Might be too chaotic, but it's hilarious so it stays for now
Thanks again for the feedback 🙏
in halo 2 after the level the arbiter is the rest of the game played as the arbiter or does it switch back to masterchief
how time left until halo ce armor is gone from the shop?
Tuesday is when the shop resets. Not sure if the bundle will leave or stay
It goes back and forth til h3
It's kinda two alternating story lines that eventually come together
This morning at work, I was helping people for a pop-up shop of used books (they had over 100 boxes of book to open and place on tables). One of the box I opened had Halo Cryptum on top. Took it for myself ✊ last Halo book I read was First Strike. Been a while.
I was about to pay for it, and this nice lady told me I could keep it for free 😌
Is the UI broken on Halo Infinite atm?
It will most likely be permanently available through the armory, click on kit, click on it, click buy.
Do not pay $20 for dress up you're rewarding a bad system.
or let people decide what they do with their own money
Getting my credit card right now
Thanks for clearing all my doubts about buying the kit
When I'm shooting rockets in custom games or forge playtesting they often vanish in midair and never connect, everything else works properly tho. Anyone else encounter this strange vanishing rockets bug/connection issue?
It's as if the game thinks I have 2 rockets to fire but in truth does not so some clips vanished when shot
@compact rock
I played a few rounds of Grunt Wars.
The version i played today is great when the game is full. The idea of husky raid with grunts makes it all the more fun. You managed to take husky raid to the next level. That is impressive.
A few notes:
The boss is still too easy.
The number of grunts seems to be right, i like it where it is.
Lastly, I would suggest to not have infinite ammo on, as people with snipers and rockets just sit in the back and clear the map, and infinite ammo would really make that off-sided.
Four thumbs up. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I'm always down to shame Whales in F2P games
Alright this seems fun, will try :3
how bout whales who pay for stuff in $60 games
even worse
well, tbh you can do that somewhere else besides here
let me people enjoy what they want to
esp cool setups like mine
which is exactly why i got no respect for halo kids who coughed up money for gold
imagine having to pay money just for online multiplayer
I like that people are enjoying the shop times
But I don't enjoy that continuing to buy shop items is only guaranteed more and more customization pieces will keep on going there
Say they add playable Elites with the Arbiter's armor as an option, but said armor is in the store
The cycle repeats
I heard that next week the free part of the infection pass is going away is this true?
And if i have the premium pass am will i still be able to get those rewards?
Firefight confirmed coming with mid season update
Just a question, is ranked always with a 1 single shot?
No
Yes you can switch back to it at any time if you buy it
When a new season comes in, you can only level up past season if you buy them. That is what we realized with my friend not playing much
anybody else miss the days of loot boxes?
Absolutely not. The time to miss is before xbl
dont lie
Where do i find this ?
still not available right?
Armory, pick the core it applies to, then 'kit' and then 'olde spartan or whatever ' and then 'buy'
I have not tested this question. I don't buy cosmetics
the kit doesn’t show up
Its only viewable in the shop. They dont tell you how long this will be in the store because they want FOMO to get people into buying.
yes, it’s only viewable in the shop
that’s what I meant
Is it me, or is all the coatings for the Mk V bundle just showing the MkVII for each of them. I cannot view them otherwise
you guys think they'll add any more ai personalities? still waiting for one from red vs blue to show up
Keep waiting
Is MCC Master Chief Saga Playlist 4 player from Halo 3 or still 2 player limit?
AI chatter off gang here 😎
did they change the map pool in Arena ranked ? Or is it still the same that it has been for months ?
quickplay is borderline unplayable for me in Infinite, i don't know what is going on with the matchmaking, i'm not even that good myself and yet every game is an impossibile carry
loose skill range to have a short wait time, and as I've been told by 343 support, quick play is not a playlist to compare skill levels
"Quick Play matches do not affect rank and do not focus on skill-testing experiences"
i tried it, it's buggy ant not stable
well MCC could have been the first. The same price as Xbox but pc gets less features. i do not think that is okay
i fell in love with this games and wanted to share with gf
when are they adding firefight
later in the season
Thanks again for the feedback! (Also thanks to 343 for showcasing it in the Forge Features blog ❤️ )
Good call on increasing the Grunts! That said, AI unit budget is very tricky right now. If I have too many AI active at once, the mode can crash. Hard. I'm talking straight-to-dashboard crash. And that's at only 80% AI budget. I added a one-second respawn timer to the Grunts to try to keep the budget away from that threshold, so hopefully that'll keep things stable enough so where I won't have to reduce their overall numbers.
Boss health is tough right now. There's no way to increase an AI's health over their maximum amount set by the mode's difficulty and player scaling options, which are currently at their highest. I'm thinking maybe I can slowly regen their health with a script where every second, it gains X% health back, but that doesn't feel good on paper. Hopefully we get the tools in a future update to just say "Give Brute Boss 10,000 HP." 🙂
I've only been programming for two months, so it's possible that I'm the problem with AI 😅
chief looks like he needs someone to revive him with the dragon balls
Unfortunate.
All that makes sense.
Def keep it as is then until 343 makes adjustments. No one will play a game that crashes.
You have created a solid new game and seem to know exactly want you want out of it. Keep up the good work and let me know if you have anything else you need tested.
Is anyone else frustrated by the prices 343 put in the shop?
I don’t see it.
yea but theyre only going to continue to increase in price, the whales will always whale. think of how expensive itll be in a couple years. im afraid the fate of such things has already been decided there will be no more battles 😢 i cry inside 😢
How come there are no quitters penalties in ranked? 3 games in row someone on my team is afk or quit immediately...
There are penalties even though you may not see them happening. Mainly CSR loss and temp bans
happened again 4 time out of 8 games
Less features? You guys have mods. However I do agree with you thay should add splitscreen on pc.
this is useless feature in 2023
actually that was useless feature for pc games for a really long time and really only few games was actually somewhat ok with it.
Dumb question, is it possible to script the campaign ai to have boosted health?
when is big team heavies coming back
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3080030043
they really need to remove grapple hook from BTB infected, literally impossible to get to these guys.
The best way to receive help is to file a ticket with support so they are aware of the issue
Please refer to the Halo Support site for additional information and/or to submit a ticket concerning any issues you may be experiencing.
You can do that here ^
Can we get a forge specific discussion channel for infinite please?
Whales will indeed whale.
And the free-riding suckerfish will continue to suck.
It's a symbiotic relationship that allows the 343/Halo ecosystem to thrive.
Why can't I generate a navmesh it's not working even though my map is basically empty.
Places like The Scripters Guild are where your question is most likely to be answered.
nuke it all, just like mobile games i sad. empty suits
Is there any species that are immune to the flood besides the prometians
QUESTION!
for the Achievement "Headmaster" for Halo Infinite, where you practically have to beat the campaign on LASO, am I able to simply replay the missions with all of my upgrades in-tact from beating the game already?
does the game crash? if you are on a forge canvas the nav mesh generates across the entire canvas. try adding some nav cutters to the outskirts, parts of the canvas youre not using it may help ease. just be careful not to nav cutt part of your built map then ai won't spawn or function on the nav cutter area
yeah it crashed last time i tried.
yea mine would do that too, try adding nav cutters carefully
so.. The thing is, I want to do this on a map that is traditionally 'Drive Or Die'
Meaning I need to have a huge portion of the map usable
I was thinking of adding AI to traditional gamemodes like infection
to help the humans fend off zombies.
u dont have any blank spots on the huge forge canvas ? like on the base floor
u can adjust the nav cutter dimensions and height n such
Can you invert them
So it cuts everything except anything within the radius of the navcutter
I guess I can just make one huge navcutter in the center of the map to reduce polygons and then set the AI to path around the outposts on the map.
if this is the issue I'll try that. thank you.
good luck ur welcome. btw i had trouble spotting my nav cutters after i placed them. theyre a very tiny gray object (i had to edit place of one i couldnt select/find so had to delete them all from folder to be sure) so i ended up placing pointers [gameplay - scripting] with shown dimensions with them so i can find them easier. it basically lights up. may be helpful for forging but will have to remove the show when releasing the map for play
low pop
You're a low pop

wtf
I have a question; I’m trying to play halo infinite and it said authenticating with services and nothing happen. What do I do?
Yea, i get that sometimes.
I start another game and go back into it, or reboot.
One or the other works, but it takes 2-3 times.
Another one:
Infinite will say i am offline on the X, but roblox, minecraft, halo 5, and MCC all work online.
But Infinite, pfff.
So again, infinite issue. Reboot, try to reset the game.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but same issues that often come up.
can i buy one of the seasons using Microsoft rewards points?
like buy credits with them
Yep! Just need to use the points to buy the xbox giftcard thing to use on the xbox store
Not sure exactly how it works with steam and the xbox account though 
if you want to use MS points, you can redeem a gift card on your xbox account and use the website or xbox game pass app (or any other medium) to redeem points/credits
Will there be story dlcs for Infinite?
Gotcha
Thank you, idek where I got it from but it’s from waaaaaaay before CBRPNk 2077 released
that’s SAMURAI’s logo
they’ve been around since the old days of the Cyberpunk TTRPG
the original one from the 80s
Oh, nice to know
The RPG's a few decades old.
A lot of people don't really, well, know much about Cyberpunk.
I only knew that it existed
Maybe I got it from a Facebook page, then tried to find a better quality by reverse searching but the colors were different so I kept it as is
i got into it cause of CP2077 but i started diving into the lore about halfway through the game
lots of really interesting and in depth stuff
Mike Pondsmith is a genius
Yes
unfortunately much of 343’s story team was gutted with the microsoft layoffs a couple months ago
😢

Coming into the discord late so I know there has been other discussions around the EVO switch in ranked for Infinite. I know the switch has been polarizing in the community... I also understand many of the points why the change was made. But to me the BR IS Halo and frankly a more fun gun to use IMO.
If I remember correctly, back in the day in Halo Reach you would spawn with both the BR and DMR starting weapons. I know BTBs over the years spawn you with 2 starting weapons (AR and BR for example). Do you think Ranked Arena could ever get to the point to start with both the EVO and BR to keep everyone happy? I could see there being balance and other issues but I haven't seen any discussion online about it. Curious to hear everyone's thoughts....
There is no BR in reach

I'm not sure it's been "that" polarising. Pretty much all of the threads I've seen, here and on Reddit, have generally fallen towards the positive spin. The YouTubes seem to be happy as well.
The BR is iconic. It's an awesome weapon. But the Bandit is really nice too - and being single shot with reduced zoom it provides a skill gap to 1v1 battles, encourages movement around the map, and rewards co-ordinated team shooting.
It will take a bit of getting used to. It will suit some play styles more than others. And I have a lot of work to do. 😦
does anyone else wish that you can filter cosmetics to the core only instead of the things that are multicore
Kinda strange we haven’t seen a trailer for Combined Arms. Feels like one should be warranted to get some hype behind it
there was a teaser kind of a video recently
but I think a proper trailer will be there on teh release
Can we PLEASE get rid of One Flag, its easily the worst gamemode in the entire game
there's only 3 gamemodes with One Flag in Quick Play and I'm getting ever single lobby for it and I don't like the game mode at all
Give me Slayer, give me Oddball, give me Strongholds, not One Flag or Landgrab
more gamemodes are good for your health
I'd just like gamemodes are AREN'T One Flag
Anyone got any ideas on why the ''Customary'' achievement isnt unlocking for me
How do I get to know the lore about Halo?
I’ve played it for a while but I don’t know much about the lore
I’ve only played Halo 3, 4, 5, infinite
Halo 3 I didn’t finish, and Halo 3 ODST I didn’t
Halo 4 and 5 I did. But Infinite I can’t afford
I’d rather play it myself though
then play 🤷♂️
do you have The Master Chief Collection?
which season gives you credits when you complete it
season 2-5 i think
where should I buy the gift card, I have 10k Microsoft rewards points and I can buy it on xbox as well as the Microsoft site
I dunno, i don’t use microsoft rewards
if i'm playing Infinite on PC and use controller, do i still get the same aim assist as an xbox player?
yes
thanks @celest heron
Should definitely not have bloom
Can someone please explain to me why 343 hasn’t fixed the hijack logic on tanks
I make the play to disable and hijack the wraith that has been terrorizing my team and it makes me get in the gunner seat 3 times!!!!
aim around driver seat.
use the seat swap button
i hope 343 will be able to figure how to fit AI Sentinels into forge even with skimmer movement they would be cool
Every vehicle with multiple seats has a seat swap button.
You can change seats without leaving the vehicle. One of the best changes 5 ever made to vehicle combat.
Tht's not what im talking about...
When I am going to HIJACK a wraith to take it down, it shouldn't make me go into the enemy wraiths gunner
Ah. Well, just stay in it.
.... lol ok
I'm serious.
While it is decimating my team?
Yes.
🧠
The tank can still take damage, you're locking them out of the gunner's seat, and you can target the tank's teammates.
It's hardly ideal, but you should problably be trying to board a Wraith from the side without guns in the first place.
k.
it’s 6 games in 1
If you have an old gen console you can just buy a hard drive
