I want to know something, Is it True if I changemy setting too much I'm going to messed up my aim ?

#

Especially during a game

analog tree
#

Yes, most likely so.

#

So much of aiming is muscle memory. If you change your sensitivity it’ll throw you off so you’ll have to build that memory back.

#

You can get used to it quickly, but it’ll take a couple days to be normal.

velvet root
#

that explains a lot, Every time I don't kill anybody or lose a game I change my settings I'm so stupid, thanks for that

#

I was literally torturing myself in game

#

I think I'm not going to change my setting anymore

# nocturne thistle 6,000 damage a game and i still deranked

The best stat for assessing overall skill is winning. So damage on it's own isn't going to help you.

If you have to focus on a personal metric - look at your kills per minute. There is at least a weighting for that.

When Microsoft looked they found some metrics to be a negative predictor of ranking up. Assists was probably one of those. And you would assume damage, without the context of kills, would fall into those lines.

Is your gamertag Veristium? I just tried to look you up on Halo Leaf - but that account is set to private?

is the ce bundle time gated? will it be gone forever after this week?

#

yeah but no one knows. so if they fomo it without people knowing they would get a lot of angry people. but also just the fact of fomoing that would anger everyone and rightfully so

Either way it strengthens the argument for a catalogue instead of a timed shop

Precisely

knotty ermine

actually nah black is boring now. I love cobalt adjacent

#

yeah i agree here. but still it's so weird that there is no splitscreen. i guess it would be harder to optimize 'cause there are a ton of different pc specs against one console

#

I feel like when playing super fiesta, instead of having a gametype for campaign weapons, why not have them in with the rest of the weapon sandbox?

That fails to load for me too. And on Halo Tracker the gamer tag Veristium has an average damage of just under 3000 in their 12 games today - so possibly not you and/or accurate.

We would technically be about 2 weeks away from being 'mid season' at this point, though if 343 underpromises, and over delivers, I don't think anyone would complain. It would help if we got some sort of announcement about what would even be in the Combined Arms Operation. From the sounds of it, the only thing we know is that its just going to be a playlist update

Does Halo infinite still not let you do map voting?

lime robin
#

No, and that's a good thing.

reef crypt

I strongly disagree and its a bad thing

lime robin

Or else we would only play the same three maps over and over

reef crypt

There's nothing wrong with that

lime robin

If you want to play a single map, make a custom game, veto is not coming back.

radiant sundial
#

Ive played games with map voting in it b4, unless you have the exact same taste as the majority of the mp community, you rarely get to play the map and mode you want, and playing on the same 3 maps usually gets boring quickly.

knotty ermine
#

Does this game not have multi team? I can't seem to change to a green team or any other color

#

What's going on here. Is this a big that's going to be fixed?

There isn't. Having the community vote on the same few maps is much better than being forced to play on maps that the majority of people don't like

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of things more basic and more commonly played than multi-team modes, even if its absence this late in the game is odd.

I'm not even talking about multi team for matchmaking but in general. The things you could do if you had more than 2 teams for a custom games especially with the power of Scripting gives limitless possibilities and an idea I had can't happen because 343 didn't design the most basic thing halo ever had. Which is really weird that this is one thing they didn't add into the game or are planning to but never did or is talk forever

#

Disingenuous moment

knotty ermine
#

Like. I never expected more than 2 teams not being in this game. That's just insane to me

radiant sundial
onyx latch
#

It's not really relevant to most modes aside from a playlist that usually didn't show up.

#

I don't even really recall any custom game modes that actually relied on multi team function.

knotty ermine
#

We literally have custom games and scripting

onyx latch
#

Just pointing out that it's not really a facet feature.

knotty ermine
radiant sundial
knotty ermine
#

And they chose to not have that feature this game?

radiant sundial
#

Theres 8 teams i think in mcc and h5

radiant sundial
knotty ermine
radiant sundial
#

Bc the gamemodes that are there are only set up for 2 teams

onyx latch
#

The only modes I really recall that needed multi team were modes where you were each driving a personal team warthog, or multi team territories/slayer/whatever.

radiant sundial
#

Hades, valkyrie and a good few others iirc

onyx latch
#

But if you asked me to name a popular custom multi team game mode, I'd be at a loss.

knotty ermine
#

I guess. But would you defend that this should've been in the game? It just feels like you're doing that same thing people do with other things like not returning assassinations or elites where there was no complaints about it initially but when it's gone and people complain there has to be someone out there to defend something that has no reason to have anyone against it in general

#

It's like people are okay that this isn't here that we had before even though it wasn't a negative thing in the game but still defended for it's removal regardless when it was never argued against in the past

#

I just find that odd

onyx latch
#

It's more that I really, really don't fret too much about that when it wasn't even a clamored for feature.

knotty ermine
#

That is true. But for me I see that they did not return something that should be in the game as it has been before and there is no reason it should not be in this game.

onyx latch
#

There are plenty of reasons to not continue to include legacy modes and content.

knotty ermine
#

There is definitely zero reason against multiple teams in a game mode

onyx latch
#

I don't know any for multi team, but it's not a binary of legacy=included.

radiant sundial
knotty ermine
#

This just restricts people from enjoying more of the game

knotty ermine
onyx latch
#

It functionally isn't a drag on the majority of the player base.

#

This is actually the first time I've actually seen a topic about it last this long, and the game's been out two years lmao

radiant sundial
knotty ermine
#

Yeah two years. That's kinda late for that isn't it. But they spent the first year or 2 fixing this game weren't they?

onyx latch
#

My point is that it isn't a very requested feature.

radiant sundial
#

Theres probably a tutorial on it somewhere on the internet

knotty ermine
#

It wasn't requested because it was expected

knotty ermine
radiant sundial
onyx latch
radiant sundial
knotty ermine
#

It wasn't requested because people expect something that has been in every halo game originally. Who is going to ask if the next game is going to have armor customization?

#

Imagine if they remove another thing in their next game and they do the same thing

radiant sundial
#

Didnt ce and h2 only have red and blue?

onyx latch
knotty ermine
#

We have features in halo as a franchise that we're used to and some of them are gone

knotty ermine
onyx latch
#

Like, it doesn't matter if people expected it, the fact is that it isn't here, and people don't request it often enough to make a noticeable call for it.

knotty ermine
#

Unless their engine really is spaghetti. Which is shocking for a new engine

radiant sundial

radiant sundial
#

Hi stckr

onyx latch
#

The point is that there isn't a major call for it.

knotty ermine
#

But I had a game mode idea for multi team but I can't make it

radiant sundial
coarse dagger
#

Some features don't have level of activity or popularity that you might think. In order to work on newer features, sometimes older, less used features get dropped. Fairly standard i the software world - hard to justify resources to maintain something that isn't being used. If there's a big enough call for the feature to come back, there's always a good chance it will

knotty ermine
#

Like I said I never played h5 but with scripting I've seen in infinite. I see so much potential to having multiple teams in a game

onyx latch
#

Potential and effort is frequently wasted on a calcitrant audience. It's why economy of effort is so important.

radiant sundial
#

There are multiple teams, you just have to figure out how to make it work, thats all i got

onyx latch
#

For the record, I really do miss multi team hog wars.

#

That was one of my favorite 'goofy' modes in Reach.

#

But I get why people don't really clamor for that coming back over mindlessly playing BTB 10 billion times.

knotty ermine
#

I remember playing on MCC a 4 way castle wars

#

Bot can use the multipe teams just not players yet.

knotty ermine
#

That's what I played last time. But I haven't played MCC in awhile since I'm a forger for my clan in infinite

karmic oriole
#

So since 343 has released the halo CE armor I've seen a few people say they want Halo 3 armor next. But isn't that the same as infinites armor? When infinite was first released I always thought of infinite chief armor as halo 3 armor but with much better graphics/visuals

time gating stuff like this is just a big no from me. I see these sort of things as anti consumer ro time gate people to buy something. and I already think bundles are anti consumer because all I want is cinder ring but im forced to pay more for content I won't even be using

#

I rather buy individual stuff for things I only want rather than paying extra for stuff I don't want.

destiny does it better but they overprice it which is just as bad.

halo 3 and halo ce armor are very different. the heck is going on

#

Infinite

icy pelican
#

is there a controller setting for halo infinite I'm missing, because as of last night my controller has stopped working in the game but it works in all the steam menus.

silver plaza
icy pelican
#

yes. so the controller is functioning correctly. just Halo infinite has stopped recognizing it altogether

silver plaza
#

Hm, gimme a moment

icy pelican
silver plaza
#

It's a BEAST. Yeah, I was surprised when I owned a 2600, how underwhelming it was. HOWEVER, if you're looking to upgrade, grab 5000 series, 5600X etc etc

#

Zen to Zen+ was kinda a miss, but it was a necessary step for AMD to make in the interim

#

I'm assuming this is an Xbox controller. Does your Halo Infinite Controller Setting look like this?

image.png
icy pelican
#

Kinda, but I have it enabled so I have more options there.

#

as for the 2600, It's kinda nice to know that i'm not the only one who was surprised by just how bad it was. I had 'upgraded' from a ddr3 amd fx setup with the 8350 and the 2600 actually performed worse in some games.

#

so it was actually a downgrade for me.

silver plaza
#

Now, that's just straight odd. Might have to talk about that soon. The FX CPUs were hot garbage, your 2600 should be running laps around them

silver plaza
icy pelican
#

Yes. it worked for me before using steam input, I'm only just now turning it off to see if it's an issue with it now.

#

as for the 2600 being better than the 8350 I'm sure I know why mine isn't, I have a motherboard that doesn't fully support the recommended ram speeds the 2600 gets alot of its performance from, So it's basically choking the speed out of my cpu

#

My motherboard supports a maximum of 2833Mhz overclocked and when I do put it to that speed, It is slightly unstable.

silver plaza
#

OUCH

icy pelican
#

so I just deal with 2133mhz ddr4

CB_sheesh

icy pelican
#

I used gigabyte before on my amd fx rig and it ran it super well

#

my controller works now with steam input disabled

#

so my issues is on steam's side.

silver plaza
#

Yeah, Steam Input is super strange. It can be very very finnicky

#

Usually it works like a charm, but XInput is a heavy-handed API

icy pelican

Thanks for the help. I was curious is there a chance for a change in the order of this discord or is it super set in stone? Because we could really use a forge discussion channel beyond just LFG forge

#

PVS432G300C6K

silver plaza
#

OH

#

Okay lol gimme sec

#

This motherboard straight up does not support that stick of RAM, no matter what BIOS revision

#

That's wild lol

#

Oooh, and it's 3000MHz, Zen+ does not like 3000MHz even when the motherboard can do it

icy pelican
#

people hate this motherboard across the board.

silver plaza
#

I can see why, it's kinda rough

icy pelican
#

pun unintended. But the motherboard specifically doesn't have a very good way of dissipating heat from the VRMs which is why I don't just overclock the memory more.

#

so I'm kinda in a 'Damned if you do, Damned if you don't' situation

#

Either way I need to just buy a new motherboard and a new cpu together.

silver plaza
#

Gigabyte is renowned for having underwhelming power phases and VRM efficiency

icy pelican
#

ideally a mobo cpu combo that supports the memory I currently have that isn't super expensive.

silver plaza
#

Any particular reason you got Viper memory? I don't see many people running around with their kits

icy pelican
#

It was cheap. I'm a creator, I make models and I work with lots of programs that eat ram up like substance painter and photoshop and the whole suite. so I wanted a 32gb kit

#

a creator is bad terminology, I'm closer to a dev

silver plaza
#

Mm, damned if you do indeed. Ofc on the second-most memory sensitive SoC lol

icy pelican
#

I do a ton within unity.

silver plaza
#

Usually I'd try to push off to #general-chat, but it's quiet here right now, so I don't personally mind

#

Question, is there any way you can return that RAM 😅

icy pelican
#

bought it all in 2020 so I doubt it.

silver plaza
#

Hey twinsies, except that was for my current setup lol

#

Might not be out of luck yet, lemme sniff a bit more

XMP OP

icy pelican
#

Yeah XMP bricks the board for me. I have to reset the cmos to factory default every time I try XMP

silver plaza
#

Makes sense, it can't lock in because the profile doesn't exist in the motherboard

#

Man, this is one esoteric kit you've got here lol

icy pelican
#

I know, dude. I regret this entire system.

silver plaza
#

Been there, done that. Literally my first build had one dead stick... out of four sticks. Finding which one that was took a long time

#

I only found out after about a year and a half of owning the kit

#

(Also the sticks were out of QVL KekLEO )

#

Depends on how invested you want to get into this poor kit, but basic memory tuning might not be out of the question. It would at least allow you to get those speeds up beyond 2133

icy pelican
#

I can get them to 2800

#

it's been stable at 2800 My issue with 2800 is that I've been worried about the VRM heat on the motherboard because the motherboard doesn't support the memory going that high officially, I think 2400 is as high as this board supports. and me being worried about damaging something, I just don't have the confidence to keep it at 2800 for long.

silver plaza
#

That's a huge improvement

#

What're you pushing voltage-wise?

icy pelican
#

Probably a notch or two above default

#

I copied the XMP settings and then lowered the speed down until it stopped crashing

silver plaza
#

Nice, that's... actually exactly what I was about to suggest lmao

icy pelican
#

It boots at 2833 but that was the limit where it got real unstable

silver plaza
#

Support for DDR4 3600(O.C.)/3466(O.C.)/3200(O.C.)/2933/2667/2400/2133 MHz memory modules
Gigabyte does say it should support it. Proper cooling may be the key there for preventing permanent damage.

icy pelican
#

2800 was where I got it perfectly.

silver plaza
#

What do you test with, or do you test?

icy pelican
#

I just ran prime95 for a while

silver plaza
#

Sheesh, all the right answers

icy pelican
#

I also did memtest86 for a full 24 hours to rule out the memory being faulty.

silver plaza
#

That's almost exactly what I was about to suggest if you hadn't already. Nice! Doing better than I was with my previous build lmao

icy pelican
#

this is all post me buying everything though. I learned how to do everything right AFTER i made the crucial mistakes of buying the wrong parts

#

lol

silver plaza
#

Live and learn dude, that's how it is. You learn the most with trial by fire

icy pelican
#

Agreed.

silver plaza
#

I wouldn't know so damned much about memory if I didn't fight with my kit for two years

#

Probably your best bet is to kick those speeds up to 2800MHz, tighten as many timings as you can, especially CL since infinity fabric is happy when CL is low (15 would be preferred) and ride out the rest of the life with this system. When it comes to upgrades once the system stops performing as it should, start researching the new generation, DDR4 vs DDR5 - AM4 vs AM5 - whatever the hell Intel's got going on.

icy pelican
#

Yeah that's what I've been doing basically

#

just with the 2133 ram speeds. Basically I tested my game performance and it was unnoticable at 2800/2133

silver plaza
#

Dumb question, what's the GPU?

icy pelican
#

a 1060. definitely aging but as I said before, It ran better on the old system so I don't think it's what's causing me issues.

silver plaza
#

Hm, do you have MSI AB?

icy pelican
#

No. I stopped using it

#

I used to have a problem where my temps would casually go up +20c just having it on.

silver plaza
icy pelican
#

and that wouldn't change even if I turned msi ab off or after a uninstall

#

my system would be permanently stuck with the +20c temps until a full system reinstall of the OS

#

This was ages ago mind you. I just haven't tried it since.

silver plaza
#

That seems.... super duper improbable. I'm assuming those readouts are coming from the onboard sensors?

#

Like GPU temp and CPU temp, not MB temp?

icy pelican
#

I know it sounds strange but it was real, Honestly.

#

it was a reading I'd get from coretemp AND from within msi ab itself

silver plaza
#

I don't doubt it, it's just the strangest thing I've ever heard

icy pelican
#

this was with a 760 back in like 2013 or 2014.

silver plaza
#

OH

icy pelican
#

i just had so many issues with msi afterburner back then

#

that i stopped using it entirely

silver plaza
#

That's because MSI AB had a lot of problems back then, not to say it doesn't now, but they're usually signficantly smaller and more a problem with Windows or drivers

#

Not gonna ask you to sacrifice your install of Windows, though I usually reinstall every other year anyways lol, but I can confidently say that my GTX 1070 and R5 2600 never saw a +20C delta after installing :p

icy pelican
#

I'm using a weird version of windows that's unsupported by games nowadays anyways.

#

I personally gutted it this install

#

This system is wild jesuschrist

#

while If I were in your shoes I'd be telling me that my system performance is caused by everything being out of date, I've already confirmed that not being the case through a dual boot test I did a few months back

you'd have to run it on two monitors probably

serene furnace
#

Or

#

You can actually start living in the present and play online coop like 98% of us do

silver plaza
#

Ooh, talk about a weak argument lol

serene furnace
#

If Netflix wasn't such a good alternative then Blockbuster would still be around
Same can be said about local and online coop

silver plaza
#

Yeah, naw, MCC should have splitscreen on PC. If for no other reason than maintaining the legacy behavior, which is the design philosophy of MCC

magic night
#

Is it really legacy behavior if CE PC and 2 Vista didn't support splitscreen?

serene furnace
#

And you just wanna overcomplicate things because if you were to play splitscreen on PC you would need 2 keyboards and 2 mouses, 2 controllers or one of each

silver plaza
#

It depends on your purview of legacy in that particular instance, but considering the work they've done to restore the Xbox Original visuals and mechanics, my assumption would be to replicate the experience as closely to the original release as possible

#

Make it controller only like BO3 did blob_shrug

serene furnace
#

Then let's also make the games 30fps like the legacy release

silver plaza
#

I mean, you have that ability, literally

serene furnace
#

Oh wait, you already do get back to 30 when you do splitscreen

silver plaza
#

... What?

magic night
silver plaza
#

Trust me, I understand why they haven't, technical limitations and all, and it's a harsh reality

serene furnace
#

This is the MCC
You could ask for literally anything that would make a meaningful and novel experience
-AI in Forge
-New maps
-New cosmetics
-Mods on consoles

#

And instead, you ask for PC splitscreen...

silver plaza
#

I asked for splitscreen on PC back in 2019 :p

#

Hell, it was the one thing I worried about losing since I knew the issues that would arise from it

#

If I were to choose literally one thing to be added and only one thing, it would be hostable dedis, separate from Azure

#

Ehhhhh, from what perspective? I can see why 343 wouldn't want to open up their backend like that

#

That's assuming a very pessimistic approach to community servers, one that doesn't have a lot to corroborate evidence-wise. Just look at Source games :p

#

No, but also yes. Because what information would they even gain? The server owner would be able to see an IP Address, assuming it's not being run through a relay. That's kinda it

uneven delta
#

Can anyone tell me if there is a reason why the campaign in co-op of Halo 3 in Halo MCC on Xbox One is in 4:3 aspect ratio?And if there is somehow to put in 16:9?

mystic bone
#

How many mode does halo infinite has with revive teammates

silver plaza
#

Like I said, there's not a lot you can do with just an IP address, not to mention hosting a dedi just to do that :p

#

You can't spoof much with someone's IP since you'd have to route connections through their router, which would mean bypassing the firewall

#

There's a risk with joining community servers, which is why I liked your idea off if they didnt link to the servers in game and gave you a big red warning saying "hey youre basically trusting some random person's code with all your data"

#

The risk imo is marginal and not particularly worth doing for the hacker or the victim

mystic bone
#

How many mode does halo infinite has with revive teammates

signal ivy
#

if you're going for the achievement you can create a custom game with bots and get it

#

idk the exact settings you need but that's how I did it

tulip musk
#

new to forge, any one want to play?

signal ivy
serene furnace
mystic bone
#

Ok, the rest is respawn auto?

silver plaza
#

You could, but the payoff would be: The player leaves and never joins that server again. Which is fine, that's basically exactly what you'd want

mystic bone
#

I mean some have 20 seconds before respawn to have the upertunity to revive

silver plaza
#

Let server mods abuse their power, who cares? It's their dedi and you don't have to play on it. Then, if the scene gets big enough, you'd have professionally run servers that would offer the same thing. IE: 24/7 Blood Gulch: Bob's Server with fun and games vs [Halo Server Group] - 24/7 Blood Gulch

mystic bone
#

@serene furnace

silver plaza
#

Almost exactly 1:1 with what happened in TF2 community servers

serene furnace
#

Do you want the achievement?

mystic bone
#

Eh, i like revive teammates to

silver plaza
#

Sure, it happened, but honestly, anyone that was in that space kinda already knew about it or learned. Petty stuff like that happens, but nothing much occurs outside of that

serene furnace
#

There are hackers on MCC and Infinite who pay money for a software that ends the match and ruins the experience for everyone present

silver plaza
#

Joining into a server just to see like six people with noclip and all of them have their Server username set to "HQ Tornado" was semi-rare, but happened a lot in GMod lol

silver plaza
#

You're seeing a custom dedi and an official server as the same thing when they can exist as two separate ecosystems. I keep bringing it up, but Team Fortress 2 had a hacking problem (specifically aimbot) and most people turned to community servers since they could moderate much more liberally than Valve could

glacial tartan

Excellent, I think we agree :p

Meawnhile using a mod that changes the mouse for a custom icon triggers the anticheat system lol

I've been thinking about your feedback on the number of Grunts in Grunt Wars. The initial idea behind the mode was to grow your team's army by killing enemy Grunts to convert them to your team. But if one team was in total control, they wouldn't have any Grunts to kill because all of them became allies. And to be perfectly honest, I don't think anyone even realized this mechanic was even a thing. 😅

Now the Grunts constantly spawn for both teams. Your Grunts are yours, and theirs are theirs. The mode feels more like a competitive Firefight PvP, but it still retains the BTB Super Husky Raid chaos. I dig it so far, but I'm curious to hear what you think.

I also made a script to constantly regenerate AI unit health, so now the boss has a slowly regenerating health bar. This will hold me over until (hopefully) 343 gives us more control over the maximum HP for AI units.

Thanks again for helping me improve it. I'm still trying to "find the fun." I just pushed the update live, so if you get a chance, let me know what you think.

My only complaint for Forge is that I wish there was a "simple forge" option like it was in Halo 3 and Reach, just so normal people could jump in and mess around with a few things.

#

I'm trying to teach myself how it works and I'm slowly getting the hang of it, but I do miss just picking up a controller and messing around easily

aim assist problems, and then no red reticle

i didn't get a PC good enough to run it until sometime within Season 2's 9-month lifecycle, but i heard about it quite a bit when there were issues

bizarrely it now has crashing issues on Xbox when it can run on many PCs without any crashes

Nvidia's new BS thing with microsoft restricts the installation of drivers because they require you to have access to the microsoft store now.

you can select standardized drivers to avoid this but the company decided to stop making them after 2021

so I'm using drivers nearly 3 years out of date.

Xbox has the worst gamertag system because it not only limits the characters you can have, but unoriginal names have to be followed by four numbers, which is atrocious.

It'll most likely stick around for a few weeks, like (insert name of the Floodified Jorge bundle here bc I forget)

It likely depends on how well it's selling. The flood stuff was selling so well it ended up staying for a while.

Stuff like that is gonna be in the shop for a few weeks no matter what I think, just prolly longer if it does well

From what I heard the MK V sold like hotcakes.
Enough so that Infinite actually rose on the Steam list of internal purchases (I guess Steam tracks that?)

Can't wait for the cries of FOMO when it eventually drops out.

Anyone else still having the issue of the halo infinite campaign just not saving progress?

Like with the BR I saw so many headshot machines. Feels way more skill-based in tandem with the recoil.

I hope Commendations come back at some point. Even if its just a minor reward like a charm with a career rank boost, I'd be super down for that.

Like. There are charms, coatings, nameplates, etc viewable in the armor hall that we haven't been able to access at all. (And you cant slap me this time for talking about unreleased content. Its plainly there in game!)

I get why it's not there yet. Ideally, having commendations would be best after Firefight arrives. (Yknow, complete package with enemies contributing to the system)

#

tl;dr
Progression to work toward beyond career rank, is all im saying.

#

Earnable stuff contributes heavily to longevity.

#

And releasing some of those smaller rewards as commendation rewards would be a boon, i feel.

zealous panther
#

The most useless piece is emblems. Their placement on armour and weapons just horrendous and you can't change it. I just don't get it why this is so hard to fix them

Oh so I need to buy it to finish it?

#

Yeah, but if I remember correctly only the first 20 tiers are free tiers after that the 30 left are premium tiers

karmic oriole
#

Ye I'm at 42, I already got all the free stuff I just didn't get to 50

#

But if you don't finish the first 20 before it ends, you lose out on all the free stuff? 💀

elder yew
#

I believe so or if am wrong its only for the operations

#

This system is pretty much not needed i was fine with what we had before.

karmic oriole
#

Yeah me too

#

Because now it costs money to get access to old battle passes💀💀💀if you never did them

#

Now new players don't have access to all the free items in original battle passes, its all behind a pay wall now

crystal iron
#

They’re trying to make as much money as they can

karmic oriole
#

I mean I want to complain but it's only $10 to get them, that's just regular battle pass cost regardless of this new system. Only people missing out are brand new players. Because pre existing players already got all the free items from original battle passes. For new players all the free stuff from those cost money now

elder yew
#

This is what i got "Season 5’s free Battle Pass will be active until November 14, 2023. Upon expiration, the 20 free tiers of content will no longer be available to unlock if you haven’t already completed those tiers. Players who would like to finish the pass beyond the stated cut-off date, or decide they want the additional 30 tiers of content, can purchase the Premium Pass in the shop at any point. When the free Battle Pass period ends, players will permanently keep all of the free content they’ve unlocked prior to the cut-off date." - Halo Waypoint blog.

The bonus is that you now have an extra item, bonus match XP, an extra challenge slot for the month and ads much time as you need to complete the event

Honestly, I like the bonus coating more than anything else in the pass.

scarlet shuttle
#

I just assumed it was like all previous battle pass. Bought it, then saw everything “free” 😨

misty vale
limpid pollen
#

so now when you buy a season pass, there are far less XP boosts and once an operation rolls around, youd need to buy that pass to get the extra challenge slot and the bonus XP from owning the pass 😭

And this time, there is no credit going back in my account 😂 oh cmon.

But yeah understandable

scarlet shuttle

with the other changes to the pass that is

grind what? I finished teh 50 tier pass weeks ago

limpid pollen
#

ya sounds like u play the game a lot

misty vale
#

I play for ~5 hrs a week

limpid pollen
#

same, but now its even more of a grind because i dont consistently have XP boosts to maximize my gain from playing one day a week

misty vale
#

hwo

scarlet shuttle
#

Never had any trouble finishing all season pass by just doing weekly reward. Last pass, I didn’t finish by doing the same.

signal ivy
#

I can't believe I didn't take 10 seconds to look at something before buying. #scammed

limpid pollen
#

bro u did not finish the pass from playing 5 hours a week

misty vale
#

I have 71 xp boosts and I use one every time there's something to unlock

limpid pollen
#

how tf do u have 71 xp boosts lmao

misty vale
#

you log into the game, hit the xp boost, play 3 games and that's like 5 levels of bp

limpid pollen
#

i dont think there even has been 70 xp boosts from the collective passes

misty vale
#

the daily challenge for 500xp x2 is an entire level the first game

scarlet shuttle
misty vale
#

plus whatever of the "shoot a guy" is x2 as well

#

so it's usually 2 + 2 + 1 level in those games. Do that 10 times over 2 weeks and you're done

signal ivy
#

you could have even just asked in here before you bought

limpid pollen
signal ivy
#

"Hey guys, do events cost 500 credits now?"

#

you would have received your answer

limpid pollen
#

so i mean if u already have a stockpile of boosts, thats great, i do not

misty vale
#

I didn't use an xp boost until season 5, no reason to

scarlet shuttle

#

that's fair I guess

limpid pollen

that said, the new system sucks and is designed to extract more money from players, cringe

or, it's meant to make them play more regularly

limpid pollen
#

i shouldnt have to play more than i want to

scarlet shuttle
#

It feels like a disguised shop bundle.

misty vale
#

yet you feel entited to all the cosmetics?

limpid pollen
#

like if i wanna play just one day a week, i could do that no problem

#

now i have to commit more time than id like to

misty vale
#

no you don't

#

just don't play it if you don't want to, it's cosmetics

limpid pollen
#

yes i do, there is a smaller window with less boosts on the pass, ill run out of boosts a little past halfway

#

it takes a long time to level up without the xp boosts

misty vale
#

wow, addiction to fomo and entitlement is a strong cocktail

scarlet shuttle
#

I am actually happy that i didn’t finish last season on time, it just gives me more to work on if I ever have a urge to play a lot more of Halo then I usually do.

limpid pollen
#

imagine saying a company doing scummy practices to extract money is good

misty vale
#

you're complaining that the free game doesn't give you all the cosmetics for free as well

#

it's FREE

Keep it civil, you can disagree, but chill with the insults

icy pelican
#

What's going on in here o.o

glacial tartan
#

The game shouldnt have been free, I do agree with that

#

Make it good enough to pay for

limpid pollen
#

part of my arguement is u still pay for the passes but u get far less time to reap the rewards, not even a full 3 month season before the paid for pass expires

misty vale
#

ok then get everyone to unsub gamepass so there's no need for gamepass tentpoles anymore and we don't have to deal with this anti-consumer setup

icy pelican
#

I came in here to complain about SBMM making it a sweatfest

like i lose my challenge slot and xp boost from owning the pass in a FAR shorter time, and you think thats good? wtf is wrong with u, like r u an NPC?

misty vale
#

a husky raid takes like 8 minutes, and you get 500 xp for the game + the challenges that do themselves

icy pelican
#

calm down guys

scarlet shuttle
#

Especially that many games are now free to play, people will think: “Why should I pay for this Halo game when I can play other shooter for free?”

limpid pollen
misty vale
#

so you're getting 500-1000 xp a game

limpid pollen
misty vale
#

if you have an xp boost on it's 1000-2000

#

that's 1-2 levels PER

silver plaza
#

No dude lol

limpid pollen
#

this guy is making stuff up, like i said

#

said he finished a 2 month battle pass from playing 5 hours a week

silver plaza
#

500-1000 with XP boosts is about right for average game and average challenge completion. It’s maybe a level a match

misty vale
#

Do you guys not get 500 for the daily + 150 for completed game +50 for vip + 50 for top 50%

#

you wanna do that math real quick? It's 750 base for the first husky raid in a day

limpid pollen
charred creek
#

you only get 500 once a day

misty vale
#

if you do a challenge then you're over 1k

#

then the second game is 250 + 150 + 50 + 50, plus challenges is usually another 500-1000

limpid pollen
#

this dude makes my head hurt

misty vale
#

so there's 2 levels in two games pretty easy

limpid pollen
misty vale
#

no it's like 5 levels in 2 games with the boost

limpid pollen
#

everything ur saying needs to be prefaced by if you have a boost active

grand sand
#

have they balanced prism yet

limpid pollen
grand sand
#

the map is waaaay too snowbally

icy pelican
#

i just want lobbies to persist past games and for sbmm to not exist for social playlists.

scarlet shuttle
limpid pollen
misty vale
#

with an xp boost the first game is 1000 + 500 + 100 + 100 + challenges

so there's slightly more variation. kind of soft sbmm I guess

elder yew

YES

u get 50xp for a win right?

misty vale
#

winning matters not afaik

are servers kind of janky rn or

#

because my bp isn't showing

limpid pollen
#

but is it 50 or 100 xp u get from a win?

icy pelican
#

for me it feels like every game is rigged if I play solo because the algorithm gives me bad teammates to average out our team's 'skill'

misty vale
#

oh no it's base mode bonus + VIP + Win, so you're missing 50xp / 100xp if you somehow are losing husky raids

im literally looking at a screenshot of the game where osmeone has "winning team" and its for 50xp

#

this is why i dont believe anything u people say

misty vale
#

yes it's game complete mode + win + VIP + challenges + daily

ancient cosmos
grand sand
misty vale
#

for small maps, it's 150, for BTB /Squad it is 250 for base mode, win is 50, vip is 50, daily is 500 to 50

ancient cosmos
misty vale
#

so the least amount of xp you get in your first game is 500 + 250. That's an L where you play terribly and have no xpbost

#

but if you do that every day you're still getting at least 8 levels a week and are finishing this op in 2 weeks

grand sand
#

I still need to finish my s4 bp

misty vale
#

you should pretend the sky is falling bc you have only 3 challenge slots rather than 4

grand sand
#

oh the halo discord icon change

limpid pollen
#

my issue is that, clearly, they 343 has designed the new pass system in a way that benefits people who pay for the passes, the most

#

like youd have to buy a new pass every like... month and a half

#

like season 5 is over

#

its season 5.1 now

misty vale
#

But for someone like me who plays 10 games a week or so...it's more stuff and it doens't cost anything

limpid pollen
#

im no longer even entitled to a full seasons worth of one single pass, like damn

misty vale
#

so it also benefits you if you just like...play the game

limpid pollen
#

AND the ratio of xp boosts to levels is so bad now

#

youd get 18 xp boosts on a 100 tier pass, now you get 4 on a 50 tier pass

misty vale
#

you want more xp boosts and less actual cosmetics? With this release there's more free cosmetics than there was in s4

limpid pollen
misty vale
#

I am

limpid pollen
#

like just think for a few seconds if you can manage that

signal ivy
#

apple chill

misty vale
#

I don't understand wanting xp boosts, for one. There's plenty of time to do this stuff, easily

young glen
limpid pollen
#

i mean, if you already play every day, for like 6 hours a day, it makes little difference

misty vale
#

I play for <1 hr a day

young glen
#

Surely more cosmetics are preferable over XP boosts?

limpid pollen
#

season passes are ez cause i finished mine in one day 😎

misty vale
#

there you go, now you have figured out that this game is easy

#

and gives you tons of stuff for no money

limpid pollen
#

youre supposed to have a pass for 3 months, now you get it for a month and a half give or take, immediately losing a lot of its "premium" galore as soon as an event drops

misty vale
#

what? You have it forever

limpid pollen
#

and if you want the xp for owning the current pass, and the extra challenge slot youd have to pay for the new pass

#

even tho its just an event

misty vale
#

the extra challenge slot is worth nothing becuase there is enough time for any regular person to complete the operation 10x over

limpid pollen
misty vale
#

I don't understand that part of your complaint either

#

I'm waiting on a client to call me back so I'm chatting about halo

limpid pollen
#

youre here to make me suffer 😔

zealous panther
#

i don't understand why i need to pay for this event so i have xp boost and challenge slot even if i bought battle pass of this season. like wtf actually?

limpid pollen
#

because its a free game and they want you to pay for the game as much as they can get you to

misty vale
young glen
limpid pollen
misty vale
#

ok lets back up

limpid pollen
#

not just like.. buying the pass for buying its sake lmao

young glen
#

You're paying for the bonus cosmetic and quicker progression in the pass and capstone.

misty vale
#

You've got me at "Grey Armor Coating", that's, afaik, the only perk of buying this pass

limpid pollen
zealous panther
#

i need to change to my other battle pass so i will complete my challenge faster for the weekly rewards and only then back to this. Wtf?

limpid pollen
#

thats how its gonna be from now on, they wont change it

misty vale
#

these complaints are honestly lensed through a black hole of "I don't play the game but feel entitled to all the unlocks" I guess

limpid pollen
#

im guessing theyll keep doing even more scummy monetization stuff now that the game is received better by the community

#

the content is good, so they want to make more money now, i dont really blame them but this stuff is just scum of the earth stuff

silver plaza
#

Not much has changed in monetization lol

reef crypt
#

How come the gravity hammer is OP now and why does the bulldog still suck? Haven't played since around when it released, but I'm surprised to see these things

limpid pollen
#

this is like OW2 kinda stuff ffs

misty vale
#

Oh no this is much more generous than ow2

limpid pollen
silver plaza
#

It’s still just the overpriced Store

limpid pollen
misty vale
#

ow2s event gives you a bad junk rat skin - a skin for a single hero most people don't play.

silver plaza
#

No, correction, they lowered the price of the store, then brought it back up

#

Devaluing in what way exactly?

limpid pollen
limpid pollen
misty vale
#

this gives you probably 5x as much and also 3x as long to do it

zealous panther
limpid pollen
#

so they lowered it because it was overpriced, and are now making it overpriced again

reef crypt
#

I do like the new semi auto you spawn with though

leaden hatch
silver plaza
#

What you described to me in that Ted Talk is: There are event passes lol

limpid pollen
#

yea thats... totally not scummy at all

limpid pollen
silver plaza
misty vale
#

dude you're wasting your time because your argument is just you being entitled. knock it back

limpid pollen
zealous panther
#

also why is this event ony 16 tiers? they supposed to be 20

limpid pollen
#

ya im entitled for spending money

#

i literally pay for this stuff

silver plaza
#

Okay, don’t explain it lol. I still don’t know what exactly changed

misty vale
#

why did you do that

#

no reason to do that

#

you'll finish the operation if you play like two games a week for the duration

#

there is absolutely no need to xp boost or have a 4th slot for this

limpid pollen
# silver plaza Okay, don’t explain it lol. I still don’t know what exactly changed

it was supposed to be 3 months to a SEASON PASS, now its 1 month basically. when you buy a current pass you gain 100 free XP per game, and you get an extra challenge slot. ok great!!!!! that only lasts one month, and when the next event rolls around, its less content on the pass, its all FREE, but you lose the premium benefits. if you WANT that back, youd have to pay for the event pass

grand sand
#

so uhhh when is the bp gonna show up

limpid pollen
#

you also now, get 4 xp boosts for 50 tiers, as opposed to 18 boosts for 100 tiers, but the xp gain is the same

grand sand
#

game still loading it

zealous panther
#

i don't care about xp, i care about my challenge slot. this is actually dealbreaker

limpid pollen
misty vale
#

but why

limpid pollen
#

like i obviously want all the content i can get, but like... i dont wanna play a lot more than i already do

misty vale
#

we just went over how long you have to do this, and how quickly it gets done

silver plaza
#

How does that devalue premium passes though?

misty vale
#

if you're not finishing this op, you don't play halo. that's it

limpid pollen
misty vale
#

dude you're trolling yourself

silver plaza
#

No, you haven’t explained how the value of premium passes is lessened.

crystal iron
#

So I'm using an XboxOneS, infinite keeps crashing while I'm looking through the armor coatings, any reason why that is?

misty vale
#

You're complaining that an op that is going to take me until Saturday to 100%, but you have eight times that length of time to do, is asking you to play too much

silver plaza
limpid pollen
crystal iron
#

Ok

tulip tusk
limpid pollen
#

bonus question: what is 18 divided by 2?

silver plaza
limpid pollen
misty vale
#

What's unclear is how you don't recognize that what you're saying is entitled

silver plaza
#

You’re talking about a durable pass that you can swing back around to. How is an event pass going to devalue that lol

misty vale
#

like "I want to play not at all, and still have all the unlocks, in this free game"

limpid pollen
silver plaza
#

That’s also not what I said

zealous panther
#

look, let us compare what was before and what now. Before when event drop i can progress my bp, i can complete challenges for my weekly and i complete event by completing weekly challenges.
This is direct downgrade of my player experience rn happening. Also 4 of this event slots is xp boosts.

limpid pollen
#

you just obviously dont respect me as a human being, to even consider anything im saying to you, like i get it, im not a mod, but cmon man

silver plaza
#

Lol. I’m out, have a good one

limpid pollen
#

if you are trying to talk to me, asking me to explain myself, it would only make sense if you actually read what im saying to you

misty vale
#

I don't even play this game every other day and I get these passes done with weeks to spare. I don't understand how or why a person would ever feel the loss of a challenge slot, or xp boost

#

but have fun guys

limpid pollen
zealous panther
limpid pollen
#

well before an event didnt take the place of the seasons pass

#

and really, it has no reason to, the only reason they did that is to coax more money out of people who dont really care

zealous panther
#

i am all out for events with bonus cosmetics and selling them in the store

limpid pollen
#

which, like, ya know... thats the name of the game with F2P

zealous panther
#

but like... you hinder my progression for this... why?

limpid pollen
#

its good they let u buy the event tho, cause before if u didnt play the event u can NEVER get the items, EVER EVER EVER

at least now you can go back and buy them, if you want to

smoky wave
#

The one bad thing is that you have to pay the premium pass to get the 4th slot and the bonus XP

limpid pollen
#

yeah! thats what im sayin!

smoky wave
#

The rest is just alright

zealous panther
#

pretty much yeah.

limpid pollen
#

the system we had in s4 was PERFECT

#

like, not the 100 tiers, that sucks tbh, but just... how it all functioned

#

you had the season pass, and then the events, and it was fine

zealous panther
#

obviously i will farm this. but this is massive disappointmet. i just feel shafted

smoky wave
#

Because if I bought the battlepass, I should have that bonus xp and 4th slot for the rest of the season, no matter in what operation we are in

limpid pollen
#

well youd think, but nope!

zealous panther
#

idk... maybe this some kind of error? i can't believe this is by design. I guess the season pass is not season pass anymore?

#

ooooh waaaait. it is not season pass it is battle pass! ...

#

basically it have nothing to do with season anymore yeah?

#

also i don't really get how the theme of this event and logo have anything to do with actual cosmetics. Aircraft, yada yada... no needles or something like that. Even no themed playlist. Am i missing something?

icy pelican
#

Can we get feedback on the new guardian? It's.. awful. I hate it. it doesn't flow anywhere close to the way guardian is supposed to flow.

#

it's cool on its own sure but it's not guardian

#

some changes I can understand but there's entirely new paths and stuff and it's just... eugh. awful.

zealous panther
#

Also 30 tiers winter update pass have only 5 xp boosts haha. This is just direct downgrade. like what the actual...

elder yew
#

Bruh did they remove xp from being top 50% on the team and they remove MVP XP from BTB...

smoky wave
young glen

#

I don't know i am not getting xp i just got 1st place and just got BTB completed xp

#

nothing else

frosty wyvern
#

my teammate left, leaving us in a 3v4. naturally, the game placed a bot in the enemy team, making it a 5v4. has this happened to anyone else?

frosty wyvern
ruby knoll
#

make sure to file a support ticket

elder yew
#

I am just going to assume that they remove it so people don't speed run the battle pass/operation...

zealous panther
#

wait a second... did they just add matching armor coating to the battle pass weapon coating in to shop bundle hivebreaker? Shaded showdown

#

yes they are! and they changed rarity of this coating ahahahahahahah.

icy pelican
#

WHY IS GAY A SLUR LMAO

pallid vine
icy pelican
#

the censoring system censors the word gay. like. what.

coarse dagger
#

Because people more often than not use it as a slur

silver plaza
#

For a dark period, that was also the case here

zealous panther
#

kinda hard to imagine where in halo discussion you actually need this word anyway

silver plaza
#

Tangents happen, people get personal, it’s no problem so long as everyone’s being nice. That’s a lot to ask for from the internet unfortunately 😅

marble halo
#

Bummer halo 3 playlist is ar pistol, but I guess that’s to be expected

zealous panther
#

at this moment i feel horrible because my no expectations getting ruined. probably i do need a rest and no more games today.

grand sand
#

wait why do you only get 3 challenges with the operation pass

young glen
grand sand
young glen
#

Then you get an extra challenge slot plus increased match XP.

smoky wave
#

Think like a mini battlepass at this point lol

young glen
#

B r U h...

also if you buy it you will get grey coating №4 for your armor

#

man I just had the most infuriating match of oddball. I held the ball for 2:40 soloing the enemy team while my team couldn't even navigate the map properly. and the enemy team was on coms and properly coordinating suicides to recapture the ball immediately after it respawns and stuff. I was literally a one man army for the whole game and we even won a round. but it didn't matter. SBMM is the worst.

young glen
icy pelican
#

😿

tulip tusk
icy pelican
#

out of the maps I've played narrows is the best

silver plaza
#

I’m ngl, SBMM has been around a long time. It may be too tight in Infinite’s social, but it’s far from a bad thing

icy pelican
#

it's nice in theory but something's definitely wrong

#

I feel like I'm soloing, 1v4 a lot of the time and it's just an awful feeling to lose when you're carrying that hard

#

it happens far too often

zealous panther
#

It need to be tightened then

#

So you will have your skill level teammates

white birch
#

I'm not sure there's enough people playing for that

#

You'd need a Fortnite level of player base

icy pelican
#

if there's not enough people, Then there shouldn't be any sbmm.

compact rock
#

Anyone else getting server issues?

silver plaza
#

Seems like it, I can’t say for myself, but getting lots of chatter about it

I don't got many game fuel bottles left. Every time I taste that citrus cherry it takes me back to 2007 playing Halo 3 online with the boys. That was my first real online experience.

icy pelican
#

mint blitz made a video on it

#

if you play good you get matched with bad teammates

zealous panther
#

mint blitz
Ah yes...

icy pelican
#

I imagine the guy who has thousands of hours probably knows more about the game's system than the average guy

zealous panther
#

his takes about sbmm was consistently horrible. It is especially looks bad in videos when he making 10-20 kills

#

like when you see this it must tell you that sbmm must be tighter and not like this where he is playing with no challenge

icy pelican
#

He's literally just that good

#

guy's in a league of his own

#

He's what you call a pub stomper, No matter how high SBMM puts him he'll always be the best if not one of the best people in the match

zealous panther
#

i mean... sbmm supposed to eliminate this. So he is probably the worst guy to listen about sbmm in this case.

icy pelican
#

SBMM isn't supposed to eliminate skilled players it's supposed to attempt to match them with other skilled players so that it's fair. the issue is that it does it overall for the whole team so if you're really skilled it matches you with less skilled teammates to raise the average of your team

misty vale
#

there's not enough skilled players, is the point

#

my lifetime KD is 4.1:1 and I'm terrible at halo

zealous panther
icy pelican
#

Not following you tbh.

zealous panther
#

If you made it tighter, then average player skill level will be more close to each other.

onyx latch
#

We talkin bout Mint Quitz himself?

#

Still glad Uny corrected him, even if his fans won't let that ego of his go down.

icy pelican
#

lots of creators have huge egos. it's a serious issue I admit.

#

we live in a society of narcs

civic sundial
#

It's why I avoid most content creators for Halo

sullen anvil
#

I really don’t like how an operation is treated like a battlepass, and now I have to pay again to earn back a challenge slot? Really lame 😕

icy pelican
#

should've just been like the winter pass

#

But overall it's a good update I can't complain much.

sullen anvil
#

I think Operations and Battlepasses should have two separate systems entirely

icy pelican
sullen anvil
#

exactly

#

and you could earn from both at the exact same time just like how Events used to work

zealous panther
#

I mean it is basically event

sullen anvil
#

yeah but not really?

zealous panther
#

Uuuh... Without event

sullen anvil
#

it’s being treated like a battlepass but it’s not technically a battlepass- I’m so confused

zealous panther
#

Yeah, it is horrible. And 4lvls is xp boost

icy pelican
#

I hope firefight will be the meta for grinding battlepasses tbh.

sullen anvil
#

I was also under the assumption from reading blog posts that Match XP would go towards progressing through the pass, but it’s literally just the same as progressing through a battlepass via challenges and bonus xp :/

tepid latch
#

Career XP going towards BP is what i thought they were talking about in that blog post which would be nice

sullen anvil
#

I’m just disappointed that Events basically just got turned into mini Winter Update passes and you now have to pay multiple times to earn back a challenge slot

#

these seriously should not be treated like a season battlepass

zealous panther
#

Honestly I just don't get it why they can't steal Fortnite system and call it a day.

tepid latch
#

Yeah a premium season pass should give you the slot for the entire season, otherwise they should just rebrand all passes and season to operations ig

zealous panther
#

Also the matching coating going to the store is a scammy move
