i’m planning on buying it after help wanted 2

#

Fr. But for gods sake if it’s only PVP I’ll scream in agony

wide trout
#

Halo has never been solely PvP

static pond
wide trout
#

I wouldn’t worry

static pond
#

i mean you can play halo in VR

#

but its like playing xbox but the screen in front of you.

#

its not like i’m holding the gun with my controllers

wide trout
#

that’s virtual desktop, not really actual VR

static pond
#

its just a screen.

But as I was saying from earlier… GIVE SOME KF THE FEMALES CAKE. JUS A LIL BIT

#

ok, chill

#

this is a PG-13 server

static pond
#

Alright

wide trout
#

and quit with the caps please

static pond
#

anyways have has anyone found like a secret easter egg

#

lol remember that like bigfoot family easter egg i think in halo 1 or halo 2

wide trout
#

burger

drifting canopy
#

Well I mean with it being a PG-13 game as well now... can't have flood.

#

so there is a lot of things that have to be either toned down or removed from the game in order to make it more suitible for a wider audience

wide trout
#

Halo has never been bound by that

#

Halo 4 was M rated, 5 and Infinite were rated T

#

the next Halo game could be M

drifting canopy
#

huh I would expect Flood or Promethans returning then

manic canopy
#

You haven’t lived if you haven’t gotten traumatized by the flood missions in halo CE

wide trout
#

heh… I was really young when I played 343 Guilty Spark

drifting canopy
#

I want more missions like that

manic canopy
#

I was like… 6 when I played that and I cried and would refuse to play it if my brothers didn’t help me

drifting canopy
#

it made the flood feel like an actual threat

manic canopy
#

Yea, have more horror inducing halo missions 😂

manic canopy
drifting canopy
#

or missions that feel like that flood animated series with the marines

#

were they get tasked to that prision ship undergoing a flood outbreak

wide trout
#

Mona Lisa

manic canopy
#

Some alien isolation type of stuff lol, like avoid areas you know are high risk

drifting canopy
#

Yeah that one

wide trout
#

I need to finish Dead Space…

drifting canopy
manic canopy
#

Ok I think this is a lore-ish question… does the flood detect you just by presence? Or like… sight/sound/smell.. ok it’s a hivemind but like… generally. Bc if a horror game was in any way developed like that, that would need to be taken under consideration

drifting canopy
#

From what I know they have spores in the air. Why cuts can be lethal

#

and the spores are connected to the hive mind as well. so basically sight is being given or granted simply by you moving

wide trout
manic canopy
#

Oh so it could be like, the more you move… the more you’re compromised type of thing

wide trout
#

flood spores have been weirdly inconsistent in Halo

#

sometimes they do a ton

#

sometimes they are practically nonexistent

#

it’s weird

drifting canopy
#

Well infection forms seek out corpses as well to infest

manic canopy
#

Ik that sometimes you’ll see swarms of what looks like spores flying around, so I get what you mean

drifting canopy
#

so there has to be some kinda way to detect that there is a corpse somewhere

wide trout
#

you say that as if they don’t have all the same senses as whatever they infect

#

the flood is an incredibly intelligent being

manic canopy
#

The flood is a terrifying being to go up against the more you think about it

wide trout
#

if you can detect a corpse by looking at it or sniffing around, the flood can too

drifting canopy
#

hmm do they though? I'm wondering that becasue some infection or combat forms look like they got stuff coming out of the eyes

#

or the ears or the mouth

#

like what is the point of the infection tentcle things then?

wide trout
manic canopy
#

That’s why I asked how it would detect, because of the physical deformities the corpse would go through to be infected

wide trout
#

and we know that their eyes still work

#

Jenkins was able to use his eyes

drifting canopy
#

fair enough

#

does the infection always produce the same copy of flood combat form? or is it more like a random mutation pending on the situation? so for Jenkins he got to keep his eyes but for others might not be so lucky

wide trout
#

the infection form pretty much completely rewires the nervous system through the spine

#

it will keep as much as it can for peak combat efficiency

#

until inevitably a Gravemind is developed and flood pure forms can start being developed

drifting canopy
#

man the flood would have been a really fun faction to play in Halo Wars

wide trout
#

that’s what modding is for

drifting canopy
#

What is the policy for mods in Halo anyhow?

wide trout
#

the MCC has official mod support, does it not?

drifting canopy
#

idk I upgraded my xbox one to the non disk drive XS and haven't been able to play MCC as I own only the disc version

#

Can I activate a mod through my laptop to my Xbox?

glacial tartan
#

No, you'd have to be on PC.

drifting canopy
#

That is unfortunate

#

Sucks that there isn't a mod cloud app of sorts that would allow for mods on PC to be loaded onto the Xbox. Basically load the mod to the app then when you power on your xbox you could open the app and load the mod then activate it

#

just blurr the lines between PC and Xbox gaming more and more

sharp escarp
#

Is ranked fun on pc?

#

And is there a reward for playing it?

wide trout
#

you can get charms and nameplates based on the rank you get

drifting canopy
#

Oh you can? Cool

sharp escarp
#

and one last question

#

is there a hack problem or anything on pc with ranked?

coarse dagger
#

A hack problem?

sharp escarp
#

sorry big fingers i meant hacker

celest heron
#

all pc games will have hackers on it, but how big a problem it is can be subjective.

wide trout
#

I have never seen a hacker in Halo Infinite myself

#

however I have been told hat there are a very small amount of hackers around

#

take that as you will

celest heron
#

the only thing I've seen is people playing ranked and saying they know they're using walls.

wide trout
#

which is almost always subjective

glacial tartan
#

If youre meaning Infinite the answer is less so, in MCC (particularly higher ranks) the answer is more so. But as mentioned, every game will have some.

wide trout
#

MCC has had a problem yeah

glacial tartan
#

99% of the playerbase wont experience it. But thats true in general.

tulip tusk
#

ive seen some fun hacks in mcc customs, like the superspeed one. wraiths and longbed trucks moving supersonic and ramming everyone. its not really op bc they also explode themselves too so it's more entertaining

misty vale
#

lol first game this week backfilling a husky raid where it was 1v4, became 2v4 and the team I joined was down 2-0.

please disable backfilling until leaver pentalties are installed

#

second game we 3-0'd them, went 1 cap 9 K 1 A 1 D, lasted around 2 minutes sbmm wootin

celest heron
#

people leaving isn't really the issue there. it's the lack of cutoff for jip games after a certain point in time and/or the amount of objectives that have already been done.

You can laugh. People have lives. And if you’re going to want to punish players over a 10 minuet game because “my KD!”

#

That’s seriously petty

misty vale
#

No I want leavers punished so that the game is more fun for everyone

drifting canopy
#

You just piss people off

#

You want to make the game fun? Increase the bot difficulty whenever bots replace player

misty vale
#

You just want to be able to leave games you're losing because you're bad and making up OUTLANDISH scenarios to justify your awful behavior

drifting canopy
#

That’s assuming too much

misty vale
#

"what if they got struck by lightning!!!!"

drifting canopy
#

That’s no different than you saying “players staying in a game are having fun”

misty vale

We should not punish people because of acts of god! God wants games to be fun! Ok bye

#

I thought they removed that terrible blue map in husky raid. The really long one

ashen atlas
#

Funny enough, in all of my time in husky raid, I just played that map for the first time today. I thought it was new

analog salmon
knotty ermine
#

do they know of the issue yet?

white birch
analog salmon
#

im pretty sure they know it changes yes

knotty ermine
#

hope they fix it in next season or something

analog salmon
#

it might be intended since less pixels is going to give you a less visually clear circle

#

at least the size of the circle at 1440 upwards would not be legible at lower resolutions, it would just be a blurry dot

knotty ermine
#

I made my screen 4k and lowers my in game resolution to 1440p for that tighter circle

#

but I kinda dislike how big the circle gets. kinda unfair for people in lower resolutions

analog salmon
#

using the in game resolution slider is honestly advisable anyway

#

but yeah if you have a 1080p screen it's probably not the best reticle design

#

the game uses temporal upscaling in conjunction with the anti aliasing solution so it looks a lot better then lowering your PC's resolution

humble birch
#

Ranked Snipers…. When Ping is in constant fluctuation between 19-130, what’s the point. Asking for a friend. [Series X, hardwired fiber, 120 FPS]

#

i think we just gotta wait for the new net code to roll out honestly mate

#

i try to play so i dont get too rusty but the lag was especially bad the other week

#

every so often you get a game that's flawless and it's amazing

knotty ermine
#

so I did that and it works for me

analog salmon
#

ooh you mean outputting 4k to your lower resolution monitor

#

honestly the reticle looks fine on a 1440p monitor to me

#

You're taking a hit having your GPU supersample the video output to 4k

#

now you have me curious how much better the reticle looks at 4k

patent breach
#

no idea but i reckon if you're on pc you might be able to lower the resolution

#

maybe that'll stop the pixels clipping or something idk

analog salmon

relaunch and otherwise its a driver issue iirc

All I did was go the fasted route from their bunker to mine while juggling the flag for max speed

Didn't die once during the process cause my team was all just positioned to provide coverfire

No need to juggle the flag
It doesn't make you as fast as you think and you risk a teammate stealing your capture

I had someone in husky just hiding and only moving slightly to avoid being kicked. I reported them for idling.

analog salmon
#

tbf i dont see it very often so i think they get detected and punished pretty quickly in infinite

#

i remember in year 1 a lot of afkers who would get kicked eventually but you'd be waiting 2 minutes or whatever it was

#

doesnt seem to be as common any more

white birch
#

You get more score by playing than just sitting these days

analog salmon
#

i dont even think most people were intentionally idling in year 1, they'd just go off to do something and not quit or dequeue

#

i guess the bans are hash enough now to deter that

#

and the kick timer was shortened perhaps? it was like 2 minutes by which point you've lost a slayer match with an afk player feeding kills

whispers Halo 5 campaign was better than Infinite's.

supple moat
supple moat
hollow bobcat
#

Halo 5 had way more characters. Aside the chief, we also had Locke, Buck, the Infinity crew, Halsey, the Prometheans, and even the legendary Arbiter.

In infinite, everyone just went away for no reason. It was just Master Chief, an AI that needed to be deleted within the first few minutes, and a janitor.

ashen atlas
#

I feel like it’s a shallow ocean vs a deep puddle

#

Halo 5 had more characters for sure. But it never really seemed any of them had depth

open tinsel
#

If Infinites campaign had more substance, I think people would’ve liked it more. Infinite’s campaign really only deals with a handful of issues which you’re aware of from the start, where as with most other halo games new mysterious issues would occur and add entire new pieces of lore you didn’t anticipate before. I will say that once you’ve read the more recent novels the campaigns lore starts to feel a lot better but in terms of the lore from the game alone it is indeed somewhat lacking.

#

In short, it relies a lot on the various novels to fill the gaps and expand the audiences interest, which in my opinion isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I love reading them. Others however might not agree.

signal ivy
#

really only deals with a handful of issues which you’re aware of from the start, where as with most other halo games new mysterious issues would occur and add entire new pieces of lore you didn’t anticipate before

so where does that leave the whole Endless thing?

#

I don't think anyone anticipated that at the beginning and that's a pretty giant piece of lore

open tinsel
#

I have a feeling it might touch on that with the next book, but I think they’ll leave that veiled for the most part, as it’s likely the next games focus.

signal ivy
#

a faction that is immune to the halo activation and WORSE than the flood is pretty big

open tinsel
#

I didn’t mean to imply it wasn’t, I meant more things like the flooded ship reaching earth and infested high charity, huge changes with huge lore implications that result in immediate problems for you to solve in game.

#

A focus on the present rather than a focus on future problems to solve if you will.

ashen atlas
#

Actually scratch that. Enough spoilers have been said

#

Which took chief, the weapon, and presumably, offensive bias or mendicant bias to take down

#

how many endless individuals are there

open tinsel
#

I think the moniker “Endless” refers more to their supposed ability to manipulate time rather than the number of them that exists.

signal ivy
#

she's endless

#

her species is specifically Xalanyn though

open tinsel
#

It could also be a reference to the fact that they didn’t die to the Halo installation, a name of mockery.

#

Also I think there are friendly Endless based on the method Chief survives the collapse of the silent auditorium. The idea that they were gone for 3 days to avoid destruction and reappear out of nowhere sounds similar to how the Endless were found by the Forerunners.

# hollow bobcat *whispers* Halo 5 campaign was better than Infinite's.

There is a lot I could say. I think one of the things halo 5 certainly did great was the variety of locales we got. Though Infinite told an interesting story I did not like the ever ongoing 'sweeping under the rug' of stories that keep on happening. From the Janus key, to the Didact, to the academy story

onyx latch
#

And a lot of important worldbuilding dialogue is built around not fighting everything as quickly as possible every time you can.

#

It's one of the times where Halo's very open, loose, and rarely hand-holding structure actively works against itself, in parts where that sort of action is extremely important in actually establishing world and character building. It's why the criticism for the gun-down segments existing at all always irritated me, because it's the part of the story that they actually sit down, slow down, and let you get some worldbuilding in, instead of constant fighting clouding your attention and judgement.

#

Like, Call of Duty's stories, for all their issues, at least understand the importance of slowing down, giving the player time to breathe and digest and observe what's going on. It's what makes those games work so well atmospherically-you get control wrested from you partially, so that the game can get a message or story across outside of a cutscene.

#

Even modern open world games such as Cyberpunk, Deus Ex, Gears of War 5, and Far Cry all understand the importance of the player temporarily relinquishing an amount of control to take the time to build the world up. 5 mostly understood it but it needed more time to do so and more places to do so.

rugged quartz
#

Character wise they could have done more with specific characters in situations

#

Tanaka should have been given more things to do and interactions with the colonists

#

Her being the voice of diplomacy there and maybe lending her skills to repair or upgrade something the colonists need and then the colonists warm up and offer information

sullen owl
#

They missed a huge opportunity to Gamefreak it.

Halo 5: Locke
Halo 5: Chief

Have to buy two copies to see the entire story from both sides.

rugged quartz
#

Have vale and thel interact and briefly mention operation far storm but no need to go in depth, just be the reason why he warms up to Locke

could halo 5's story been the same but excecuted differently and be succesful? yes

Not exactly the same but it borrowed heavily from 40K.

as for the GW thing, that is... Certainly a take.

I'm pretty sure that 343i would hear laughing on the other line before it got cut off. Very, very condescending British laughter.

drifting canopy

That’s racist and stereotyping

onyx latch
drifting canopy
#

I don’t think they’re that bad just because they’re from the UK

onyx latch
#

How is acknowledging that GW is a British company racist?

#

The reason they'd be laughing has nothing to do with that, lmao. It's the gall to ask the 40K devs to make something for another IP now, when 40K's going strong enough to spawn entire AAA games.

#

That ship sailed long ago, amigo.

drifting canopy
#

They made LOTR and have diversity in their universes

onyx latch
#

Like, Catalyst, sure, both companies are based in Seattle and both companies work with Microsoft IPs-that'd make sense. But GW?

drifting canopy
#

You’re talking about a table top RTS

onyx latch
#

A table top RTS isn't a thing. Simultaneous turns are a thing, but you can't "RTS" a tabletop.

#

Not that people haven't tried.

#

But there's a reason those games don't do well.

drifting canopy
#

Well a lot of passives kick off in WH that gives it a more interactive play

#

Idk WH has been growing in popularity

onyx latch
#

And that's irrelevant, because whatever universe that's happening in assumes that GW takes leave of their faculties.

#

Like, maybe in a universe where their lead guys all take an ice pick to the frontal lobe.

drifting canopy
#

You can dismiss the idea till the cows come home

#

That’s irrelevant

onyx latch
#

I mean, it's very easily dismissed and it's going to take a literal miracle for me to be convinced the only tabletop game company you knew before Mantic was anything but GW.

drifting canopy
#

😂 you haven’t played Halo Wars man

onyx latch
#

It's okay to admit you aren't very much in the know, but I've been playing tabletop games and RTSes since I've had consoles.

#

My first tabletop wargame was from the 80s.

drifting canopy
#

Uh huh

#

That’s irrelevant

#

Risk doesn’t count Lol

onyx latch
#

It's actually very relevant. I've been playing the exact games you're talking about for a very large part of my life, and researching inane things obsessively is my hobby. It's half the reason your insistence on GW being a good choice is blatant ignorance of what they do and how they operate.

onyx latch

I didn't like it very much.

But Leviathan Set is a good example of how far things have come

Nvm

#

Now just marine squads a ODST squad replace the Dreadnought with Cyclops or Mantis, replace the Hero units with Spartans

onyx latch
#

Which is what they were doing with Spartan Games before it shuttered.

#

Because it didn't sell well.

drifting canopy
#

Bad PR, bad Marketing 🤷🏼‍♂️

onyx latch
#

And you don't need GW to do any of that. There's plenty of other valid companies.

#

Spartan Games themselves were poorly managed.

#

They're the biggest wargame company out there by most metrics because of smart asset diversification, longevity and advertising. That doesn't mean they'd want to, care to, or be capable of assisting Halo in that space.

#

Would they do better than most? Absolutely. But that assumes that they'd want to, care to, or be capable of.

drifting canopy
#

But that’s why asking around is better than just jumping in

#

Sure there’s other companies but looking for the best odds for success is imo better than flushing money down the drain…

#

Though Microsoft has more than enough to flush

onyx latch
#

And that's why they don't ask GW, or if they did, GW rejected them.

#

Because GW doesn't have to care and Microsoft doesn't have as much patience to spend money as people conveniently like to think it does.

#

Half the reason GW's even got such a good grasp on itself is because it stubbornly held onto its IP rights aggressively.

#

Randomly going 'oh hey Microsoft collab' in the 20's is not exactly good for its health.

#

There's plenty wrong and can go wrong, and 'done right' is not a solid or stable metric.

#

Ultimately, it'd be up to GW, and there's not a snowball's chance in hell that'd they say yes.

#

The miniatures would be good, so I guess they'd have that going for them, but there's a lot of talent in that department nowadays.

That's... Possible. The flood levels ramp that difficulty up way more though.

From my experience the rocket flood are the main source of unfairness in ce but the other halo games have significantly worse sections on legendary

#

Liking the Library on Legendary is problably why I like things like Vermintide or Darktide so much tbh.

drifting canopy

See a fair trade would be getting the AAA studios that Microsoft has to make a AAA Warhammer experience. (Think of Darktide or Vermintide just dialed up)

In return GW could make miniatures. Now being upset over who is more greedy or who nickel and dimes more… that’s a discussion that’d never end

Just thought of a cool idea for an interesting defensive/offensive equipment that 343 might think to consider. The Shrapnel Trap. When deployed, any projectile that passes within its sphere of influence is suspended in place, swirling within until the effect ends, then, after the effect ends, all the bullets trapped within basically explodes out in a big blast. Kinda like a mix reminiscent between the gravity grenade and Vortex Shield from Titanfall

Will the br ever be the starting weapon in arena again?

I find it kind of odd that it has been completely replaced

left snow

ashen atlas
empty rapids
#

bandit's got a higher skill ceiling imo

noble delta
analog salmon
#

it's not that odd when you consider what the BR is in the sandbox

#

its the precision weapon for all levels of play

#

whether the BR is competitive enough is subjective but the Bandit Evo takes more skill to land your shots without a doubt

#

honestly I couldn't stand the launch BR in arena, nobody missed shots, and even after the aim assist was nerfed it was still a bit too easy for my liking

#

below Onyx people basically didn't swap the BR out because they just couldnt compete against BRs using the other weapons

#

and that was the majority of the player base

ashen atlas
#

Where I don’t like the bandit is any scenario where it ends up in a 1v2. The br I felt had a chance of getting at least one of them, but a 1v2 with the bandit you have practically zero chance of coming out of that with a kill

#

Against opponents with equal skill

analog salmon
#

the converse to that is you're not getting BR'd by two players and melted as soon as you move in an open area of a map

ashen atlas
#

Bandit has faster ttk. It’s actually worse now

analog salmon
#

nah its a new game with the bandit evo and you have to take advantage of that freedom to move around or be punished for not doing it

#

people arent beaming you across the map with the same level of accuracy

ashen atlas
#

You have 2 people gunning you with a bandit feels almost like instant death

#

Eh the accuracy is a weird situation. My accuracy is significantly better with the bandit

analog salmon
#

if you're getting gunned by 2 people across the map and your team mates are not aware, you're either not making a smart play or you team mates are playing like the meta didnt change

ashen atlas
#

It’s not that it happens a lot. But there are split second scenarios where that is the case

analog salmon
#

my accuracy stats are better because im not engaging players across the map and giving away my position for no reason

#

the BR is burst, you shoot across the map you're landing damage

#

the bandit you can shoot and miss easy so all you've done is give your position away

#

you are landing more damage at range with a BR then a Bandit, there's no real question about that

#

what your stats say is not really telling you how accurate the weapon is when you use it differently

#

if you could see stats for you damage at range, it would be much higher with the BR

ashen atlas
#

I feel the damage is more to do with the better scope than the burst fire

analog salmon
#

probably both

#

but burst fire is more forgiving

#

and a recoil pattern that helps you hit headshots is too

bold verge
#

BR is a lot easier to use than the Bandit so I think the bandit should continue to be the starting weapon for ranked

analog salmon
#

i would only want the BR back if they made a "BR Evo" with much more competitive stats

#

i think they made a fair effort trying to bring the social and competitive gameplay together with Infinite but sometimes you just have to tackle certain aspects of gameplay differently

bold verge
#

I’ve been told that the ranking system in comp is only based on whether you win, the skill rankings of the teams, and your KDA. Supposedly playing the objective and getting points that way isn’t factored in at all.

Kind of a strange system considering that objective modes are more common than slayer.

analog salmon
#

its just because slaying is such a huge factor in winning, even in objective

#

and if you're not slaying in a way that helps your team win, your not going to win. if you're just playing for kills you wouldnt actually rank up

#

conversely if you're the weakest player on your team at slaying, you can be the objective player and still gain CSR

#

you cant expect to gain the same amount of CSR for holding a ball vs actually winning gunfights

bold verge
#

Slaying is a big part of winning on objective but deaths aren’t. If anything more deaths in objective modes helps distract the enemy from obj

analog salmon
#

i dont think dying a lot limits your CSR gain

bold verge
#

It does. It’s based on KDA

#

Or so I’ve been told

analog salmon
#

i havent found my deaths a problem personally. as long as im slaying i usually gain a good amount of CSR

#

im aggressive as i can be so im always around 0k/d but top two in damage dealt and taken

#

if you are not getting kills because you're dying so much then that's a problem

bold verge
#

A couple times I’ve had more kills, obj points, and assists than someone with the same rank and gotten less points

analog salmon
#

your CSR change is not based on one game, its based on your MMR averaged across multiple games

#

which makes sense given how much chance there is when it comes to winning gun fights

#

the idea is to reward consistent performance, not a one off

#

nobody really complains when they perform terribly and only lose a tiny bit of CSR

There has been no official reason given.
My personal view is that they needed to prioritise other playlists, as you can't have too many playlists at the same time, and with the addition of Firefight, a PvE element is present within multiplayer. Keep in mind, you can still play versus bots in Academy and custom games.

# bold verge I’ve been told that the ranking system in comp is only based on whether you win,...

Your MMR is mainly based on results (win or loss) and who you beat (your skill relative to theirs). There is a weighting for both kills per minute and (to a lesser extent) deaths per minute.

Assists are not relevant.

CSR depends mainly on the result and your MMR. It kind of "chases" it (like a "line of best fit"). If your MMR > CSR then you will get more CSR for a win and lose less for a loss. The opposite if MMR < CSR.

And the type of game is kind of redundant. If you are doing the right things in that particular game mode then you will win more games.

And I’ve got decent amount of money so that’s also fine

And it’s not too bad a deal imo. 20$ for all the seasons was an easy buy for me

I have a serious question

#

If someone who lost their memory got infected by the flood, the flood would gain the memory of what happened before the loss of memory?

#

Since flood absorbs memories of those who get infected

serene badger
#

Good question!
It would depend on the type of memory loss.
With most brain damage, memory loss typically comes from damage to the brain structure. And it just simply isn't possible to store memories. Therefore the flood has nothing to access or no way to access.
But if it's the case with short term amnesia where the memories are still there, but you temporarily do not have access to them, then I would assume that the flood would definitely gain access to those memories.
We know that the flood has the ability to gain access to the information in someone's brain, But I guess it really comes down to if the flood has the ability to heal someone's brain after they have infected them.

TrueSkill 2 / TrueMatch purports to prevent "boosting" yet I just played against a Silver 5 that went +20 against a team of all Diamond.

If someone on my fireteam quits, and then I quit, what’s the penalty? **You will lose up to 5 CSR, just like it is today. **

If someone not on my fireteam quits, but we stay and lose the game, how much CSR would I lose? **0 CSR. Ranked games are not meant to be played out with uneven teams – *players should be able to leave with no penalty and just start searching again for another match.***

The way this was worded makes zero sense to me. The latter is contradicting the former, criticizing it. Can someone please explain what Tashi meant to say in the final sentence? It can't possibly be what was said, can it?

magic night
#

If someone in your fireteam quits a game, which is someone who partied up with you, and then you quite, you lose 5 CSR.

If someone who isn't in your fireteam quits, meaning someone you matched with through matchmaking and did not party up with prior, you can quit and not lose CSR.

woeful wigeon
#

If someone who isn't in your fireteam quits, meaning someone you matched with through matchmaking and did not party up with prior, you can quit and not lose CSR

But that's not what it says. It only says that you lose 0 CSR if you stay and lose the game.

magic night
#

Ah. I see the confusion. The question is asking what happens if I lose in that situation. The answer is saying 'just leave, you won't lose any CSR.'

You could stay for the rest of the match if there was a quitter, but they're encouraging you to leave since it's a lopsided game.

What is it with bad players tbagging the most and being the most toxic like I got tbagged by someone who had a 1 kd while I had a 7kd who killed me by 3v1ing me. I don't really care that I get tbagged I just don't understand where all the confidence of all these bad players comes from, like when I play ranked I never get tbagged by onyx players and I only get tbagged in social playlists by people plat and below. Someone please explain to me this mentality cuz I just don't get where this confidence comes from

The MMR is scaled so that it goes from 0 to 1800. In a normal distribution. Mean (mu) of 900. Standard deviation (sigma) of 300.

Each tier is then one standard deviation from the mean.

And you can estimate the % of the population that should be in that tier; eg. 900-1199 is Platinum - and it should contain 34% of the players.

The other interesting thing is that you can guage the win rate between the tiers. A Diamond player should go 25:75 vs Onyx, 50:50 vs Diamond, and 75:25 vs Platinum.

It looks like these went live a little early. They'll be coming down shortly. The plan is still to "unkit" these HCS bundles in the near future. When that happens, folks who bought it before will have their items updated without needing to make additional purchase. Apologies for the confusion!

Now if you miss an operation, you can pay €5 for access and an 'exclusive' cosmetic item.

#

You're not locked out of certain items anymore, and it gives newer players stuff to grind out if they want.

zealous panther
#

we simply get less stuff. And the stuff we getting is less valuable and on top of it you can't progress season season pass when the event pass active. This is all around worse then what was before. With the exception that you can actually buy it when it's over, this is really nice change

None if it has value, they're just cosmetics.

Is it actually less stuff? Seems like it's pretty much the same amount of stuff as the events gave before.

I imagine after you condense the stuff from Season 4 down because of cross core armor and weapon coatings, and stuff like shoulders, it's not all that different.

one sec, i will do that

38 if we fuze coatings, emblems and shoulders in one vs 32 and 8 xp boosts

Those xp boosts are big money.

also out of 38 only 1 emblem and 1 backdrop

Which season did you have more enjoyment out of the content of gameplay from though?

zealous panther
#

4

#

but this is because i don't really like evo starts

not because it's bad but more because or Reach flashbacks, so it is personal problem

#

so, out of 40 we have 8 xp boosts and 14 backdrops and emblems(i don't want to open game and count them separately)

#

also not a fan how they take matching colors out of main battle pass and add it to the shop bundle

they are afk 70 percent of the time

or are genuinely worse than bots

#

just quit out of a match because i got two bronze 2 blue spartan afk teammates

im not bad at the game im very confident in my ability to clutch up and carry

so if im skilled and win plently of matches

why dont i get teammates like me

#

Another concern of mine with the lack of punishment for going afk or leaving mid match is that what happened to tf2 will happen to halo infinite

#

Even if it was a report based penality

#

I’ve seen a lot of arguments for afk/quitting penalty’s

glacial tartan
#

The way the quit ban systems exist today players are incentivized to AFK. There is no punishment for AFKing. Its pretty simple.

#

The answer is to rework the quit ban system (which is considerably worse in MCC than Infinite) but with no communication on coming features you should assume its being worked on but dont get your hopes up.

sharp escarp
#

Yeah I read some stuff about how bad the griefing is in MCC

#

And I definitely don’t want halo infinite to become more toxic

#

I’m so tired of playing games with toxic communities that I really don’t want to deal with that

#

But I’ve been getting regularly matched with players that don’t do anything but walk around the maps and shoot the floor

#

That’s not an exaggeration or a skill insult

#

That amount of players I see that genuinely can’t play the game is ridiculous
