halo-discussion

[flat delta]

The flood has the god knowledge of several precursors

[pallid storm]

But they finally were destroyed by the unsc

In halo 3

[flat delta]

Plot armor

The grave mind should’ve ate that goofy master chief when he had the chance

wait why didn’t the grave mind kill them actually

did the gravemind know that they would prevent the covenant from activating the rings

[pallid storm]

That’s what he wanted

The rings— once activated— desstroy the flood entirely

The gravemind forced the master chief and the arbiter to look on separate sides of halo to find that key

That’s why he saved them

The entire story is in halo 2

[tulip tusk]

yea he needed some pawns it was cool how their goal intersected for a time

[pallid storm]

It was

And then they finally meet up in halo 3

[quick jetty]

Technically, it destroys gravemind/flood's food.

It could be possible that Flood could find food via other sources or means.

[pallid storm]

Which then makes the flood die out, you have to remember that forerunner artifacts have worked before that is why the entire forerunner species is gone

The chances of them failing is 0-100

[quick jetty]

Flood/gravemind now has probably enough knowledge about Halo Arrays and what happens, so possiblt they have a way to counter it

You could technically not get affected by HALO array if you are in one of safe worlds, or far away enough.

[pallid storm]

That’s why the gravemind sent chief and the arbiter to go stop the rings from being activated

[quick jetty]

Hivemind can get far away. Well, the flood.
One random small spore, far far away.

[pallid storm]

They live on halo

Or the rings

[quick jetty]

Yes, but speaking generally.

By now, surely Flood has an idea what to do before Halo is fired or after

[pallid storm]

The gravemind tried to stop the key from turning

[quick jetty]

Aka they pribably have some safety measures and protocols, in its own gravemind/flood link.

Remember, Flood is like 100x smarter and faster than Cortana, and Cortana is alreast fast and good.

[pallid storm]

Yes that is why he captured Cortana

[civic sundial]

So I am replaying Halo 5 for the first time in a long time and all of Osiris refused to exfil off the Kraken, gotta appreciate Locke telling his team to look around a Forerunner site when they're at the bottom of a ravine in the ruins of a large walker

[flat delta]

But the gravemind liked the flood

So why would the gravemind want to kill the flood

[flat delta]

He needs to put flood on a ship

[pallid storm]

U are looking at that out of context

The gravemind wanted to STOP the rings from being activated

Cuz they destroy the floods food source which then destroys the flood

[winter folio]

hello , I am currently dealing with technical issues regarding halo infinite through steam

for the past few months , it just crashed around 35% into the loading apge

the background freezes and it just closes

the xbox games version works great , but i cant add it to steam (universal game library for me) and all my achievements are on steam

[flat delta]

Oh lol that was my theory

[pallid storm]

Yeah if u play halo 2 that’s the entire point of it 😂

[celest heron]

have you not played it before?

[cobalt bridge]

what is yall's fav assault rifle?

especially in Halo Infinite

[flat delta]

Dawg the gravemind didn’t know the future

Plus chief is the main reason the flood died

[pallid storm]

Commando isn’t bad

[pallid storm]

He knew what the rings did tho

[cobalt bridge]

Kommando?

i like that one too ngl

[pallid storm]

It got range and it’s not a burst rifle

[cobalt bridge]

and it fires fast and does enough damage

[solemn void]

Noble 14 was a cool story

[pallid storm]

Yep

[pallid storm]

U can thank 2401 Penitent Tangent for that

[cobalt bridge]

[onyx latch]

Yeeaaaah, 5's AI uh... Kinda ruins a few impactful moments.

I still don't get why they didn't Noble Team Blue and Osiris instead.

As in, make them invulnerable, but incapable of grabbing new weapons.'

[thorn sierra]

I'm gonna try to beat halo 2 on legendary for the first time, wish me luck

[quiet veldt]

Don't get sniped too much

[thorn sierra]

my problem isn't jackal snipers rn, im still on Cairo station getting killed by elites

[waxen badger]

just finished halo ce

[bold magnet]

So why isn’t there an LFG for firefight?

[waxen badger]

I think they go under customs

[spare finch]

is there any easy way to get 9000 score in btb?

[ashen atlas]

Score or exp?

Both will be ridiculously hard. But 9000 score seems impossible

9000 xp is doable, but not at all easy

The highest score I’ve ever gotten was 8075 and I had 72 kills 13 assists and 1 flag cap I believe

Only time I’ve ever gotten above 60 kills

[spare finch]

someone got it before

[spare finch]

any efficient and easy way to get 60 or more for a decent player?

[ashen atlas]

Not surprising I suppose. I don’t consider myself good. I imagine someone has topped that, but you’ll need at least 80 kills

[spare finch]

not surprised either since it's filled with grinders

I find it funny how grinders make grinding hard on everyone else

[ashen atlas]

I should preface that by saying I accomplished that in husky raid. I think that is the best bet for a high kill count. In btb I think the most kills I’ve gotten was 40 maybe 50. As for strategy, I played defensively most of the match. Using mostly the striker pistol and sniper

Semi defensive. I found a good spot with good cover outside of their spawn

[spare finch]

gravity hammer strategy is just waiting for enemies to try to get the flag or going to their base and bonking

[ashen atlas]

Grav hammer can help with flag caps since it’s an instant kill when they spawn but it’ll be hard to get a high kill count with that

You get 10 swings and have to hope someone drops ammo for it

And by then, if you do manage to keep killing with it, you’ll most likely be close to winning with your team capping

[pallid storm]

Are Spartans just supposed to have enough ammo to get a new weapon or what? Cuz every beginning of halo makes it so you only have like 30 bullets

[onyx latch]

Spartans typically carry way more ammo than you see in the games. In Ghosts of Onyx, in the final fight of the book, Linda is mentioned as having six sniper rifle magazines (One in her rifle 5 in reserve)-after expending an undisclosed amount, but several, over the course of the book.

Halo also has really weird mag volumes and scales-for example, the S7 Sniper in Infinite has a Magazine that can carry 10 shots of its standard ammo.

Which isn't that weird if you look at the 10-shot-per-round Flexfire, except for the fact you can't actually carry the same number of magazines in a Flexfire as you can with a regular sniper-and neither's mag count actually makes sense anyways.

[celest heron]

if you're still playing, use the plasma pistol overcharge on them.

[pallid storm]

Yes but how come we never have too much ammo

[onyx latch]

Gameplay balance

[pallid storm]

I know that makes sense but I still think just a little extra ammo like 2-3 more mags could go a long way

Cuz the plasma weapons don’t lose ammo as fast

[fallow merlin]

Does anyone know how to get that last checkpoint in Halo CE?

The one where Foehammer gets shot down

My mom is trying to beat CE solo normal (she already beat Halo 2) before we move on to Halo 3 co op. But she’s struggling with the warthog run

I know that sometimes I’ve gotten a checkpoint at the Foehammer rally point, but usually I don’t. What factors trigger it?

[ashen atlas]

I believe you have to wait for the dialogue to end for the checkpoint to set

Outside of that, I’m not too sure

[craggy wadi]

drifting and proper use of braking should do the trick. corners: left-inside line, right-inside line don't lose speed

[fallow merlin]

I don’t even think she knows how to drift. I’ve tried to explain it. She’s old.

[craggy wadi]

explain the button for e-brake

[fallow merlin]

I can do it with my eyes closed. I didn’t even know there was a cutscene if you failed until I saw her try it, but I’ve been playing forever. I have the muscle memory. Boomers have a hard time with gaming.

[craggy wadi]

she needs to memorize the route

[fallow merlin]

Yeah, she’s tried that. She’s getting better. But still she’s wasting a lot of time. If she could get the Foehammer checkpoint it would be nice, but the game never gives it to her

I guess she doesn’t have enough time to spare to get the checkpoint cuz if it gives it with not enough time it could softlock

[craggy wadi]

well what I did is never let off the throttle

[craggy wadi]

wish I could play with my boomer parents

[silent orchid]

how did husky raid get its name?

[celest heron]

it was named by the creator of the gametype who had husky in his name.

[slate flower]

Can someone help me with this? I've heard there is a version for halo ce on the pc. But I don't want to play the gearbox version neither the MCC version cuz my laptop is not strong enough, I've heard it's almost a 1:1 to the xbox version. Does anyone know what the name is?

[craggy wadi]

Halo Combat Evolved: Refined (PC)

I extremely miss Big Team Battle Ranked

If they did bring it back there could be a theme: Old School Throwback

[white birch]

Throwback

[craggy wadi]

thanks for the correction

[crystal iron]

Hi

[frosty condor]

[craggy wadi]

hello Spartan

I remember Walshy and one of the Ogre brothers and some others in Team Slayer fighting our team as I was 45 trying to get 46

cruel and professional punishment

[crystal iron]

👋

[frosty condor]

Sounds like you chose the wrong day to play

[craggy wadi]

trust me I learned what not to do quick

[frosty condor]

Did you ask for mercy afterwards

Or apologize for wasting their time

[crystal iron]

How is halo infinite, I haven’t been able to play in like over a year

[frosty condor]

It’s pretty good, give it a shot next time you’re on

[crystal iron]

I need to buy a new Xbox😭

[frosty condor]

[crystal iron]

I moved away from home a couple years ago and left my xbone with my siblings

[frosty condor]

You know what needs to be done

Best bang for your buck imo

[crystal iron]

I know

I have to bite the bullet and just buy it eventually 💀

[frosty condor]

[errant grove]

hey guys new player here, can you get the odst armor for free?

[frosty condor]

I think so

[frosty condor]

I stand corrected. ODST can be acquired from the Heroes of Reach battle pass (very first one). Shoulders of the armor is unlocked at 62 & 63. The helmet is unlocked at level 65 and the chest piece is at 67.

Cost of the pass is 1000credits (~$10)

[ebon rapids]

Can 343 give us the option to have the knives on or off the armour items

[analog salmon]

the attachment system for chest and shoulders would have been neat but probably overcomplicated

[civic sundial]

Aye, the system is pretty complex as is with all the options

[analog salmon]

i like the ODST chest piece with the tac knife that Buck has in H3ODST

[fervent peak]

Highly debatable, matchmaking still takes way too long plus matchmaking balancing is absolutely atrocious.

[analog salmon]

Its fast for Americans. If you play with an American, you literally find games instantly.

Why doesn't "expanded" let you find matches quickly like you're in the US? I have no idea.

[gusty pawn]

If they let us that option they were losing money

If u see the winter pass, It has an core amor with a knife and the same with no knife

[twin crag]

probably has to do more with the dev efforts required v the impact of that change for the players

[spare finch]

I use the series x

[ebon rapids]

before i ask in here, is there a tech help channel

[twin crag]

maybe #1075989764026675210

[ebon rapids]

thanks, just spotted it

[velvet dirge]

I bought one for my brother last week cause his PC bit another type of bullet

[ebon rapids]

I don't know how 343 made halo infinite so ineffective on mid ranges machines on medium settings

[onyx latch]

The third time I've heard that. Wonder if it'll be the third time I hear about someone running it off a 'midrange' GTX960 and 4 gigs of ram.

[velvet dirge]

Midrange or vintage?

[onyx latch]

If you remove the thermal sensor, you can reliably cook eggs on it.

[ebon rapids]

Ryzen 5 4700g with a RTX 590 16gb ram on a fresh install of windows with all bloatware removed

[velvet dirge]

Breakfast of champs

[warped jasper]

960 isn't THAT outdated. The 4gb of ram is unnecessary though. Could upgrade to a faster 8gb for literally nothing.

[onyx latch]

So... relative to Infinite's launch, that's a 4 year old GPU, now a 6 year old GPU, with not an exceptional amount of RAM and I'm not good with motherboards. IIRC Infinite's specs are also out of date on the store listing and would be higher now.

I was still running it fine on a 32gb ram prebuilt with a 1080, because it had some funky specs.

[ebon rapids]

I'll need to treat myself to a new gen GPU

[onyx latch]

But I doubt that computer would run it well now.

[ebon rapids]

On the launch maps it's dropping 16fps from 60 on the newer maps it's locked to 60

Imo I don't think its using my CPU as much as it could with async turned on however my total load across both GPU/CPU it's barely cracking 40% usage so there's headroom

But I'll probably look for a 2nd hand card probs something beefier than I've got now

Probably somewhere in the 5700 family

[jovial furnace]

is there anyway to get split screen on halo mcc pc?

[lime robin]

The 960 is slow and nowadays Infinite seems to consume 5-6 GBs of VRAM to begin to display everything properly. It's an old card.

And VRAM isn't upgraded unless you are pretty darn good at soldiering and don't fear losing the GPU if something goes wrong

[spare finch]

I think the reason why people used bot bootcamp to grind is to avoid tryhards and to avoid getting killed, and without it you have to face the tryhards and die repeatedly, which makes it take longer than it needs to in order to get hero rank imo.

solution is just to cap bot bootcamp at +9000 score

[spare finch]

unfortunately I wasn't able to grind using this mode because I started multiplayer when season 5 was about to end

[hollow bobcat]

So what's everyone's opinion on the new husky maps?

[tropic valley]

Does chiefs armour get more dinged up as the campaign progresses or did they completely weather him up compared to the first few trailors

[white birch]

Or go play Firefight.

[spare finch]

that's 9000 for an hour though, it's not fast

and tryhards get annoying in husky raid, btb, and fiesta pros

it makes it extremely hard to grind and they waste everyone else's time, I've been trying to find a mode that isn't a waste of time for grinding that gets 9000 or more in less than an hour

infection is extremely inconsistent and there's no guarantee you'll survive in a camping spot

[tropic valley]

9000 for an hour. That seems . Off

You can easily make 3k minimum with bad skull acquisition. Each firefight is max 15 minutes. So you should be making 12k minimum an hour.

That’s normal mode as well,

[spare finch]

bad teammates are constantly on normal mode and heroic mode, which is why it's so annoying

[spare finch]

speaking of that, i'ma add a suggestion for it

[green aurora]

Will there ever be a double XP weekend for MCC or something similar?

maybe even something for Infinite?

[ebon rapids]

i didnt know i missed the OG halo ost till i just booted up MC

MCC*

[full warren]

a hacker is ruining h3 playlist right now aim bot and walls its crazy

[plucky river]

why do players quit every match?

[spare finch]

that's why I stick to Infinite multiplayer, little to no cheaters

why do people abuse the banshee? I was trying to get in a wasp to get some missile kills from above and I get instantly killed because a banshee is camping the air

it makes it impossible to go inside flying vehicles

this is why I hate btb

either BTB needs debuffed or SBMM needs to be added

[full warren]

No I mean the h3 playlist on infinite

dude is bunny hopping around the map with 0 care in the world

he would bunny hop arounce a corner and already firing,

[spare finch]

idk what to do about that then, I don't get in servers with cheaters

[full warren]

Literally randomly bunny hope around a corner while I am slightly moving up and he would be shooting me first because his got walls and he never missed lol, trust me i know when i see one

[spare finch]

were you sprinting?

also could've been a pro because pros shoot when they see a sliver of a spartan

[full warren]

nah his hacking and no i was not sprinting i was standing still because i knwo hsi ahckign

[spare finch]

there are some corners of maps where angles can allow the enemy to see you without you seeing them due to weird geometry of maps

[full warren]

no .

[spare finch]

it's called triangular walls

[full warren]

I am not that bad at the game to not know these things, dude basicly had the aim of a 1800 onyx with the movement of bronze 5

Just search my gaming tag

[spare finch]

that's possible with some players

[full warren]

no, that is not possible, not even if you are a ex-pro because if you are you will know how to slide or crouch

[spare finch]

just very hard for consistency

[full warren]

and NOT miss clambers every time watching him in dead cam is so funny

[spare finch]

they're good with aim though, aimbot would detect people from miles away

[full warren]

he would not clamber walls, and he only has 100 games played total with 72% accuracy on headshot

[spare finch]

clambering isn't required, it's a pro strategy

[spare finch]

as I said, prob just good aim

[full warren]

Dude I am like D4 and I can tell his walling because his shooting literaly while running around a corner without knowing whos behidn it

[spare finch]

without a sniper

[full warren]

You can tell someone is walling when they can always be shooting as they come around a wall, and you can tell they are aim botting because their accuracy is crazy and in a 1v1 they dont miss ever, and his general lack of awareness, no one get this good at aiming is that unaware, I could literally be shooting him and he don't even notice me if I am not the locked on target

he will stand out in the open shooting someone else while getting shot at and not even attempt to run or dodge, just jump jump jump, I don't think I saw he used crouch all 4 games I played with and vs him,

[spare finch]

if they were aimbotting they'd have 100% accuracy (which is impossible for human feat)

[spare finch]

seems like just a bot with spartan shooting settings

and recruit movement

[full warren]

well you clearly do not understand aim botting because aim botting does not mean 100%, you are 100% accurate but bloom and other thigns will cause you to have less

There was a prolific hacker at rank 2 during season 1-2-3 and he had 74% accuracy

literally everyone knew reported multiple times, pros would stream the games and took about 2-3 weeks before he was banned so we can see all his stats for hundreds of games

[plucky river]

every ranked match players quit.

i guess the community majority likes this cause nothing is done about it.

and the reporting feature isn't as good as other games. manual blocking is a chore.

[thorn sierra]

My epik halo 2 legendary journey

[full warren]

I mean if someone feels they going to lose then they will quit since there is no penalty for it anyway other than points but when you lose you lose points anyway

[celest heron]

I rarely ever see that cause there's so many counters for it and the banshee bomb still isn't great.

[full warren]

I am sure wasp is better than the banshee lol.

banshee is good at dive bombing

[plucky river]

there is no consequences.

the halo community enjoys it. so nothing is done for the integrity of the game.

it's joke really

[full warren]

I mean they didn't change it for 2 years, I think they given up trying to be a esport

[plucky river]

i mean r6 is a joke too.

reporting goes to a black hole

and the menus is very inconvenient

[full warren]

Wish we had reports like league of legend where a few report would actually ban them and you get email saying they been banned

[plucky river]

riot games is a serious developer

[full warren]

all done in game no need to upload stupid files from a broswer

[plucky river]

mods will probably ban me here for complaining about quitters every match

[full warren]

But in league you will get abnend if you quit like 2-3 games lol

[plucky river]

mint and ubernick don't say anything either. there's no voice.

[full warren]

You actually have to play 5 bot games just so you can play again

[plucky river]

i can see why more people leave halo

no care. and mint's last video on mcc. oof.

[smoky stone]

if you report someone for cheating, do you get any notification if they were actually banned?

[plucky river]

nope

[celest heron]

they will respond and say they'll take action on any violation that's been found.

[smoky stone]

that sucks, tarkov will send you an ingame msg saying thank you for reporting players and that they have been banned

[sterile void]

Riot games also regularly bans people for NOTHING. so no dont be like riot games

I once got banned from Valorant for 30 days for saying "No shot my jett isnt bronze, truly tragic." I have the email to prove it lmao

[spare finch]

You get banned for leaving the game, it’s stupid. This is why the only multiplayer shooters I go on are Halo, Doom, Battlefront, and Contractors

[spare finch]

Because the games I mentioned don’t ban you for no reason, and rarely anyone gets banned because barely anyone cheats as it’s the only real offense in the games

[smoky wave]

If you leave a lot of times frequently you get banned, not like at first or 2 times every once in a while

[red harbor]

What is your best halo

[outer ingot]

Halo Combat Evolved and 3:ODST

Reach for multiplayer

[red harbor]

I like reach best

It tells a tragic story

So it shook me

[outer ingot]

I like ODST for "open world" and story, Reach it's also cool but when you replay it's kinda boring in my opinion

But gameplay it's fun. I like multiplayer and trying to assasinate players 😅

I sorry for my bad english

[red harbor]

It's a shame, because neither of these games was finished

[spare finch]

And also the aiming system in valorant sucks for a competitive game, standing still leaves you open to getting killed

[red harbor]

If conditions permit, they can be more complete

[spare finch]

Cursed halo 2 mod when

[red harbor]

odst has a great atmosphere and I feel like I'm there when I play

[spare finch]

funny thing since the enemies have no pathfinding, I was in firefight and saw esharum walk into lava

[solemn bay]

Odst is fun for when you want to experience like your the person and not like your just a player

[thorn sierra]

Im trying to mod halo MCC and make a cursed halo-like mod, and if it works then what weapons should i add?

[solemn bay]

@thorn sierra Console or pc?

Add any weapons you wish

[pallid storm]

Does using skulls count as cheating? Cuz there are skulls that make infinite ammo

[coarse dagger]

Skulls are not cheating :)

[civic sundial]

Bandanna just makes it more fun, especially with any power weapons

[thorn sierra]

Pc

[slim flint]

a gravity hammer that tilts gravity in a random direction instead of doing damage

[covert bobcat]

a gravity hammer that little damage but the kickback is insane (the smash bros hammer)

and then a full auto br

[civic sundial]

A full auto BR would be pretty broken

[ashen atlas]

Full auto br lol. Ttk would be like 2 seconds

Would be funny

[civic sundial]

I assume they mean the Battle Rifle and not the Beam Rifle

But now I'm wondering if they did mean the Beam Rifle... Imagine a Jackal with a full auto Beam Rifle... The Halo 2 Jackals would be jealous

[ashen atlas]

Indeed would be envious. That full auto beam rifle would be a damn light show though

[civic sundial]

The burst fire one from Halo 5 is powerful enough

[spare finch]

44 firefight games to complete each onyx rank, just did the math.
this means 660 games from onyx cadet to hero rank
this is gonna be hell.

[spare finch]

1378 games of suffering total from where I am now to hero

[spare finch]

it would be more devastating due to the fact it only takes 4 shots to kill someone with it.

so it would last 1 second

[spare finch]

throwable Cortana microchip

[solemn bay]

No unless you set it on the easiest difficulty with every skull that makes it a one shot one kill type then possibly but still if you want it to be more fun then use skulls

[pallid storm]

I have never been one to use skulls so thanks for the info

[solemn bay]

On god put the halo 2 legendary jackals combined with a full auto beam rifle I would be crying

[solemn bay]

All good mate 👍

[pallid storm]

Same

What if you have all of the halo 2 brutes gravity hammers

[solemn bay]

I'm on 2 health after suffering with the elites and suicide grunts then the jackal headshots me

Instead I'll see just multiple lasers one shoting me

[solemn bay]

Rip

[pallid storm]

Ong bro I just finished halo 2 and went back to play a few levels on legendary

Couldn’t even step out of cover 😂

[solemn bay]

I know 😅😂 felt so hyped to Jump back in not even 5 minutes In already being sniped

[pallid storm]

And then on top of that you have to run and evade all the attacks from the melee brutes 💀

[spare finch]

somehow changing the amount of cpu that halo infinite runs on makes it less laggy

[solemn bay]

I think I responded by using a sniper and a RPG or by using a lot of grenades also help

[solemn bay]

When was halo infinite a part of this halo 2 conversation?

[spare finch]

I wasn't adding onto the halo 2 conversation

[solemn bay]

Anyway I'm hopping off for 6 hours

[solemn bay]

Alright then

[teal scarab]

Anybody else experiences missing playlists in halo infinite?

[spare finch]

sometimes, but usually no. restart halo infinite to see if that fixes it

[teal scarab]

I only have 4 gamemodes/gamemodes rn, which is why I decied to ask here

[spare finch]

that's a glitch

[spare finch]

just got a score of 1750 in btb, I started using Mint's strategies

13-14 kills

also managed to make halo infinite look like halo 2 graphics in terms of gui settings

[karmic shoal]

average score per firefight game?

[spare finch]

my average is 3000-4000 per game

I still have a ways to go in order to get to onyx though

[ashen atlas]

I stand corrected

[celest heron]

not terrible compared to previous games.

[ashen atlas]

Yeah, I would say 3, reach, mcc, and 5 were a much harder grind imo

[karmic shoal]

could probably sneak an extra 500-1000 points with skulls and essentially sitting on hill nearly 100% of the time, then again randoms are randoms

[craggy wadi]

sorry if this is a bit off topic. Just listened to Halo 3 menu music again

[spare finch]

any good camping spots for btb?

[low blaze]

No

[spare finch]

worst part about firefight is that my teammates kill any banished outside of the hill boundary before I have time to, leaving me at 3000-4000 instead of 5000

[worldly cobalt]

Does anyone play ranked invasion anymore on mcc?

[spare finch]

pretty sure ranked is a huge problem in mcc due to cheaters

[worldly cobalt]

I can only find games for the halo 3 playlist but not for any of the other ones

I haven’t encountered any hackers

[ruby knoll]

ranked is pretty sparse due to very low pop

[cold imp]

fun fact: both Halo 3 and Halo Infinite start with Chief in Space, and being found by another main character

[worldly cobalt]

They should move invasion to social

[ruby knoll]

we must discover what the exact altitude is of chief at the canonical start time of h3

[cold imp]

There's some pretty good custom Invasion servers, had a blast experiencing Invasion for the first time on them.

[ashen atlas]

2 kilometers, easy

[cold imp]

when i was replaying halo 3, as I often do, the moment where the Gravemind says "Or I shall feast upon your bones!" reminded me of when SHODAN in system shock tells out about how her cybernetic creations will feed on your flesh or something like that

[worldly cobalt]

Yeah the custom invasion servers are cool, but the maps are big and I like ranking up

[onyx latch]

2 miles according to a Marine, so... Not in space.

Also not high enough to actually cause him to burst into flames.

[low blaze]

Why doesn't halo 4 explain why the covenant are back? Why did they wait until spartan ops to give an explanation?

[onyx latch]

I assume they thought most people know how religious schisms work amongst species made up of individuals.

Apparently, most people assumed 'Great Schism' was just a buzzword, and that religion is a shawl to be dropped when convenient.

Instead of a core component of the regime you grew up under.

[low blaze]

The reason for why you're fighting a group you're supposed to be at peace with shouldn't be something you have to assume

Even a throwaway line would've been better than just "things change in four years"

[onyx latch]

Not a matter of assuming anything more than viewership literacy as higher than it actually was.

I didn't even need that line to figure it out tbh.

'Oh, right, the religious organization had some fanatical elements that kept the colors regardless of the prophet's actions. Makes sense, tbh, the Elites aren't just one dude wearing different hats'

I have beef with that line, but more because it's not on the nose enough for people who struggle to separate religions from individuals of a species.

[low blaze]

It's not a matter of that, it's a matter of poor story telling, you should never assume that with the audience they had in mind they would understand without any explanation how cults work

[onyx latch]

I like to assume the reader isn't illiterate or inept, tbh.

Sounds insulting to need everything precisely spoonfed.

IDK, though, I guess some people clearly need it.

[low blaze]

I don't want to be spoon fed I want to know why I'm fighting, not just assume it's a splinter group

[onyx latch]

Not hard to assume when the game outright says it to you.

[low blaze]

When

The only point at which I recall this being explained was spartan ops

[celest heron]

they didn't have any new intel for half the campaign and when they finally got on the Infinity the main focus was the Didact with it being established that the covies are subservient to him making them part of the bad guys. I thought the splinter group assumption was fine for the campaign considering it's explained in a lot more detail in spops.

[uneven bison]

Didn’t Cortana say they’re different herself

[onyx latch]

Chief notes that they are far more fanatical than the previous forces they had encountered.

[celest heron]

yes, that's what he's referencing

[uneven bison]

Well in dawn, he also says he thought they had a truce, so it seems reasonable to think these covenant are different that the OT

[ashen atlas]

Not really a throw away line. It puts you in the perspective of chief and Cortana where they had no idea what went on while they were adrift away from everything

[onyx latch]

The thing that does bother me about the line is that Chief's factually incorrect.

[uneven bison]

Truce is a weird way of putting it for sure

[onyx latch]

There was never a peace accord with the Covenant-Arbiter's rebellion wasn't legitimacized in time for the end of the war, so it was more 'this fractitious group, out of writing, of the Covenant; Explicitly a rebel group; Is not aligned on the side of our enemies right now'

So I feel like the line should've been more along the lines of

"I thought we had a truce with the elites" instead of 'with the Covenant'.

[old creek]

Just finished ODST, why does no one talk about it, its so good

[onyx latch]

Cortana's line could feasibly stay the same, but it could just as easily be "Only the Arbiter's forces, apparently. Either way, he's problably not alone.'

[celest heron]

it gets talked about on occasion. infinite is the main game so that's going to dominate the discussion.

[onyx latch]

ODST's consistently on the top of my list when it comes to discussion about Halo campaigns.

Which is really funny, because I think ODSTs are horrendously overrated as far as mooks go.

[celest heron]

Covenant is a nice umbrella term for all the enemies which would be less confusing to the most casual audience.

[onyx latch]

Which is likely why they ultimately went for that line.

[echo nymph]

Halo 5’s multiplayer is SO GOOD

the best thing 343 did with halo😭

[spare finch]

I just call the banished by the covenant for this reason

[crystal iron]

I really liked halo 5 muliplayer but it was pretty much one of the only things I liked

Campaign was alright, I was like 11 so it was entertaining enough at the time

[halcyon violet]

I'd replay the HALO: Infinite Campaign if 343 allow us to use the Combat Evolved Mark V Armor Kit.

[crystal iron]

There’s this helmet in Infinite called ISIDOR but I don’t see it listed on the helmets that you can use

Is this no longer available?

[karmic shoal]

vaulted temporarily until the next CU

[fallow kite]

Noble Six is here

And now i am gone…

[frosty condor]

Back to the cave he goes.

[civic sundial]

Let's keep him in there this time

[echo nymph]

Yeah the campaign wasn’t really good but the multiplayer is fire still managed to play some warzone yesterday

[hard surge]

Quick question... Can I still play Lone Wolf cinematic in halo Infinite? or....how does this work?

[civic sundial]

We cannot view the old seasonal cutscenes sadly

[hard surge]

Oh... okay... thanks...😔

[civic sundial]

Believe me, I wish we could still view them

[hard surge]

I wanted to rewatch it because I want to make gifs with my Spartan (personnel profile Isn't enough) 😄

• I Wanted to see them with MY spartan...

[supple tusk]

same here

[twin geode]

Is halo MCC still available for online play or they taking it down???

[coarse dagger]

Still available, unlikely it will be taken down. If it ever is, will probably be quite some time away

[twin geode]

Ok cool

[queen lake]

I beat Halo3 LASO , ODST, Reach. I'm going to go insane with CE and 2

4 sounds easy

[rose cypress]

Enjoy, 4 was genuinely fun to do solo

[crystal iron]

Still hoping for MCC local splitscreen on PC someday 🙏

[queen lake]

Yeah that sucks

[crystal iron]

Yeah just a shame bc I know it's on the console version, but I have controllers ready and waiting

[viscid ravine]

Eaglestrike isn’t canon

IMO best styled armor core because it caters to the industrial militarist inside of me. And it’s not canon

I’m going to halo my infinite til I master my chief. Cortana.

[lime robin]

I'd read a book focused on the Yoroi and Eaglestrike storylines

[smoky stone]

cant believe the ranked slayer list has such a long wait time.

[viscid ravine]

Fractured/entranced whatever it is, is grim/dark halo from what I hear

[smoky stone]

what happened to people enjoying playing for ranked in Halo games?

[crystal iron]

I gave up ranked altogether because of the ranked lobby times tbh (I am also aware this makes me part of the problem lmao)

[supple tusk]

fr it takes so long

[obsidian galleon]

why this game forces you to lose if you're on a win streak?

[crystal iron]

Forces?

[obsidian galleon]

by matching you with 4 other bots whose scores are frigging negative

[smoky stone]

ranked arena is always fast for me unless it's outside peak times. but ranked slayer is literally a ghost town, i dont get it.

[low blaze]

Why doesn't halo infinite allow the cross hair to be lowered?

[main iris]

why r u lowering it anyway 😭

[civic sundial]

Some people prefer the lowered crosshair since that's what the older games had on console

[low blaze]

Because that's how halo has been since halo 2

[main iris]

mmmmm

[low blaze]

Until halo 5 changed it because of how competitive it tried to be

But halo infinite wanted to be like Bungie games and they still didn't put it back

[slate willow]

i'm listening to halo 3 odst ost Deference for Darkness

[twin geode]

Need halo ce and halo 2 LAN party like early 2000s again

[bleak nymph]

Why are there still XP boosts in the operation passes? They are only 20 tiers, kinda redundant at this point.

[misty vale]

To have a reward for a tier

[fallen flame]

True

[full warren]

what can you use xp boost for these days anyway I have over 100 lol

[fallen flame]

xp boosts are only worth it for the battle pass and operations but even then without them you level them up so quick

so they kinda useless these days

[rotund zenith]

Lowering the crosshair has the effect of raising your entire camera to aim at the same spot meaning youre looking at more of the actual playspace and scenery rather than the floor

[stoic canopy]

Uhhh.....is anyone else's Mark V B bugged out?

I'm still not allowed to post images yet but yeah....

[rugged quartz]

We definitely shouldn't be having those XP boosts in the passes. Should be having more meaningful items

[solid star]

I mean the XP boosts are pretty useful for advancing through the pass

Almost a necessity

Oh wait we’re talking about ops, not seasons. Yeah you have a point on that one

[silent orchid]

gaming...

[abstract mango]

https://youtu.be/38C1FG96z14?si=XZQN_aM40LNen531

[ashen atlas]

Yeah, maybe like one xp boost per operation. Just really not needed

[thorn sierra]

I played a random match on halo mcc and actually got killing spree for the first time

[old creek]

We need another campaign where you swap between two different perspectives every other level like halo 2 or ODST

[ebon veldt]

Random but what is everyone's favourite track in all of halo? Mines Breaking the covenant from halo 2

[ruby lake]

follow in flight from halo 2 anniversary

[random fern]

Truth and Reconciliation

or Blow me Away - Breaking Benjamin

[winged osprey]

Rock anthem for saving the world

[slim flint]

Ghosts and Glass from Reach

[slate willow]

i've hired a sangheli to stare at you

[main iris]

ermm...no..we definitely need xp boosts lmao

[slim flint]

what we really don’t need are so many emblems

[misty vale]

How could someone possibly need xp boosts competing a pass takes like two hours each week

[main iris]

so errr how many yercs deep r u rn?

xp boosts r so helpful like what

people acting like we get a boost every 2 levels

[misty vale]

WTF is a yerc

[main iris]

point proven lil thug so deep in he dont even know what hes taken 😭

[velvet dirge]

Some people can't allow themselves to play 5-6 per day

[misty vale]

I don't play 5-6 a day. 8 in a week about all you need to do the weekly

[velvet dirge]

Weekly = pass?

[misty vale]

If you do the weekly you always finish the pass

[main iris]

even with a xp boost fully finishing a pass will get u like 7 tiers max

well

weekly

[velvet dirge]

Where are you pulling that from?

[misty vale]

Doing the weekly last week got me to level 6. This week's probably to 13 or 14, next week 20

[velvet dirge]

How many games it took you to finish the weekly tho?

[fiery sedge]

I love Infinite’s forge sm

[misty vale]

8

They're extreme easy

[velvet dirge]

Easy, but some of them are long-ish

When you have challenges like "play 6 matches"...

And even then, exp boosts are extremely helpful with that

[misty vale]

That's why it took 8

I have 122 xp boosts they are worthless

[velvet dirge]

You're telling me you finish all of your weekly+ultimate challenge in 8 games?

[misty vale]

Last week i did

[velvet dirge]

So it's situational

[misty vale]

Sometimes it takes a splatter or something, so maybe 12 games a week is the most it's taken me in the year since they made them so easy they do themselves

[velvet dirge]

Let's say 10 on average

That's for the weekly, approximately grants 5 or 6 levels

4 weeks ish to finish an op pass

40 matches in about a month?

[misty vale]

Something like that? I've never failed to finish a weekly or pass, never needed an xp boost, and halo isn't even a game I focus on

The challenges used to be fun back in like season 2 you had to get backsmacks and stuff

[main iris]

u dont need an xp boost they just help massively if u win and get top of the leaderboard on btb with a boost u get like 800 xp thats nearly a full tier from one match

[misty vale]

Now it's literally 'afk a few games if you want'

[main iris]

nobody is afking for a weekly challenge lmao

[misty vale]

People afk in this game all the time

They're going like 5-15 in husky raid you aren't looking at the screen with a score like that

[main iris]

doubt a single one is afk so they can progress a weekly challenge

[fiery sedge]

I can’t wait to get Slipstream Sectorlink
It’s such a cool effect

[main iris]

i got it like a week ago

[fiery sedge]

I got the BP for it recently lol
Just gotta grind to it :)

[main iris]

its aight looks rlly pixelated in the menu for some reason and my game is running 1440p so might be a bug or sum

[fiery sedge]

Oof

[main iris]

same i bought 1000 credits and im getting all the battle passes done

got lone wolves and another pass i forgot left then ive done them all

infection is the other its so bad but i have to get it done

[fiery sedge]

Ayy sweet
I’m using MKIV so I don’t have much to unlock for it
Just amassing credits so I can get cool stuff (I really want the Prophet color for Butlr)

[main iris]

i use iratus his voicelines r amazing

[fiery sedge]

Peak
I just think british sidekicks are cool lol

[main iris]

proud to be british wheyyyy

[inland minnow]

@misty vale • we dont do callouts here

[onyx latch]

Top mid, enemy with a binary rifle. He's one-shot.

[misty vale]

Ironic, for a game which is effectively unmoderated.

[misty vale]

Update, I completed this weeks challenges in 9 games.

[velvet dirge]

So 1 game more than it took you last week

[misty vale]

correct. I am at 13/20 on the op pass so about to finish it next week, which I think is two weeks before it closes

[velvet dirge]

And you played all of them today one after another?

[misty vale]

yeah, it took me 84 minutes

husky raidx8 1xFfight

[velvet dirge]

Coming back to my initial point of "not everyone can play X games at once"

[misty vale]

It's actually slower to do it all at once

if I waited until tomorrow I'd get more bonuses after game 4

[velvet dirge]

(or wanting to invest all of or most of their free time on this)

[misty vale]

if 84 minutes is "all or most" of your free time, you should not spend it playing any video games. Full stop

[velvet dirge]

Kinda twisting my words a bit, aren't you?

[misty vale]

I don't see how I am twisting anything

[velvet dirge]

There's a difference between "I only have 80 min of free time per week" and "I'm not willing or able to invest 80 min straight over X"

[misty vale]

Yeah that'd make sense if the game didn't reward you for playing only 3 games a day

[velvet dirge]

Said free time also goes to:

other games
Other hobbies
social life
resting

[velvet dirge]

Technically you get exp just for playing matches without the challenges; which will be more efficient if you have boosters on

[misty vale]

What I'm saying is that the passes are comically easy, and the weeklies are easier than that. XP boosts are nothing / unneeded filler, and exist to be a reward on a pass tier.

[velvet dirge]

Oh, I never disagreed the weeklies aren't easy

I disagree that exp boosts aren't useful

[misty vale]

The whole conversation started up when someone wanted more xp boosts, which is a joke

because any amount of playtime negates their usefulness immediately

[velvet dirge]

I don't mind not having more, I'm def fine with the current amount

[misty vale]

I would take literally anything, or even just less levels on the pass, instead of xp boosts.

xp boosts are the epitome of a non-reward

[velvet dirge]

That's your opinion I guess

I'll take more exp boosts over emblems tbh

[misty vale]

why at least the emblems you can see on two screens, if your build allows you to see the emblem. Or better yet it is actually visible in the game if it's a gun emblem

whereas an xp boost does literally nothing, ever, at all.

[velvet dirge]

On the other hand you can say only your enemies can see them, and if they live long enough to see them you're playing it wrong 😛

[velvet dirge]

It does something, just not the thing you want or find useful to you

[misty vale]

it's not useful to anyone

[velvet dirge]

That's hyperbolic

[misty vale]

there's no circumstance where you can play for an hour and not finish all the passes.

[velvet dirge]

There is where you can play for less time and get the same amount of exp

[misty vale]

xp from the boosts only applies to the passes, not the career rank

[velvet dirge]

I wasn't talking about the career rank

[misty vale]

and so there is no situation where someone who plays for the amount of time the xp boost lasts, enough times that they use all the xp boosts even by a quarter, and does not have all the bp's done

[velvet dirge]

^

[misty vale]

because playing for that amount of time finishes the bp

and so the xp boost does, in a real sense, nothing. They're a non-reward.

[velvet dirge]

I'm not a fan of repeating myself tbh, especially not if you're gonna keep being hyperbolic

You can 100% say you personally don't find it useful

[inland minnow]

if you encounter particularly problematic players, you're welcome to report them. better that than coming in here and breaking the rules yourself.

[misty vale]

1. the report system is purposefully convoluted to discourage reports
2. they don't have a system to review it. They ask for your own footage every time like it's my job to cut out the video I took of me playing. Might as well just make me a game moderator.
3. There is never any evidence that action is taken.

So telling me to report people is the same as telling me to be quiet. Which is fine I believe the fuchia colour of your name indicates that tell me to be quit is your perogative.

[tough temple]

Here is a question I'm curious to hear and answer to. With the SBMM in Infinite, is it possible I will never mind a match in low population regions (BR servers) if I'm too good? Cause I get put with/against toddlers, easily win, and queue for another match and can find nothing, so I'm wondering if I'm a lower priority because all the active players have a lower MMR. Is it waiting for higher MMR players to log on before it decides to match me?

[misty vale]

The game prioritizes matchmaking speed above tight banding of skill.

Play ranked if you want tighter matchmaking.

if you're waiting a long time, then the general population of your region is just very low

or you're playing an unpopular game type

[tough temple]

My main issue is I can't find a match at all in my region, even after I just finished one. I know it's a low populated region, but still, I just had a match and I'm surprised I didn't connect to the same people again like I usually do. I'm doing Quick Play.

You can't play Ranked in this region, not enough people. You'd have to go with a full party an hope you get lucky.

[shadow turret]

Do you do match searching on Local or Expanded?

[tough temple]

I prefer to do Local so I can have decent ping, I am aware I will find a match with Expanded, I'm just surprised is all. My searched timed out, but thankfully it just found me a match as I'm typing this.

[misty vale]

VPN to a more populated region.

[tough temple]

That's not how ping works.

[misty vale]

actually, it works quite good for when I want to play with my brother who lives 2400 miles away.

[shadow turret]

Yea I get that
Expanded can sometimes be alright depending on the playlist, but it goes back and forth a lot

[tough temple]

VPN works well if you have bad routing to start with. My routing is good.

[misty vale]

if we both join a fireteam my ping is like 100, but if I VPN to his region my ping is 60.

my normal ping in Halo Infinite is 15-20ms

[tough temple]

Match starting, adios.

[tough temple]

That's probably because you had bad routing to your brother, and the VPN fixed it. When I played Classic WoW when it first came out, the routing was really bad, making it like 400 ping, after using a VPN it brought it down to 120, like it is normally. After a while they improved things with the Classic servers, I could play without a VPN at 120 ping.

[tough temple]

Expanded as a lot more balanced matches since they have more players to choice from lol, Halo was never popular in South America like it was in North America. Most people here are Playstation owners, they go crazy for League of Legends too

[shadow turret]

Fair, fair

Yea I can usually find matches in like 5-20 seconds from where I am
Ranked takes like 20 seconds to a min tho for me usually, its just a kinda dead playlist especially at lower ranks

[tough temple]

Yeah, I'll be moving back to the US later this year, so all problems in my life will be forever solved lmao

Doesn't mean there won't be new ones- but still.

[shadow turret]

fair lol

[gray kayak]

yo 343, can you like fix the spelling of "eneny" to enemy so i can actually complete my weekly challenge?

[thorn sierra]

the needler and the shotgun are the best weapons on halo: ce

[pallid storm]

Especially against the flood

[tulip tusk]

so fun to use

mowing down flood with ce shotgun

[thorn sierra]

Oh yea and i also love how halo 2 made the flood terrifying, the first time i played halo 2 on the missions with the flood made me terrified of the flood

[tulip tusk]

yea i always rlly loved flood levels i like that lil extra terror

[sour marlin]

Halo is so dead

[misty vale]

Counterpoint: Infinite is a fun game and the queue times are like 15 seconds

[celest heron]

maybe in your region

[full warren]

Well outside us its kinda dead outside normal hours

[spare finch]

the one thing I don't like about halo infinite is how custom matches don't gain career rank score (it technically counts as multiplayer), and matchmaking is so difficult to get in a game that you're happy with the amount of score you get.

[ashen atlas]

Custom games would be too easy to cheese your way up the ranks. Even if they reduced xp gain by like 75%, people would form groups and just take turns getting massive amounts of kills

[spare finch]

most matchmaking is long and exhausting

that's my counter argument, I'd rather play against a bunch of bots than a bunch of people abusing controller's aimbot settings from aim assist

I'd rather get an easy 100 kills than none at all, that's how broken sbmm is, you can't get kills at all.

[ashen atlas]

The aim assist complaints are a bit inflated. I’ve played against m&k users that dominate matches. M&k has always been more accurate and that allows them to play at extremely high sensitivity settings

[spare finch]

how do I get more accurate with MKB

[ashen atlas]

Halo to me has always just felt better with a controller, but I am jealous of people who can snap 180 degrees in a split second

I’m not sure. Practice I would imagine, and some people like that guy shroud, are just naturally gifted it seems

[spare finch]

me waiting for score boosters to be added

[sour marlin]

Funny the only thing I can do in PC on halo is snapshot noscope the sniper, but can't do it on controller

[spare finch]

why do stupid strategies get all the kills in btb, I was getting relentlessly chased while i was strafing and I somehow died??? I feel like most kids use aimbot in btb because of how stupid their strategies are.

[misty vale]

Stupid strategies like..."driving the scorpion"?

[edgy latch]

it would be pretty funny if i could make the prosthetics all the way up to the hip

[misty vale]

Please first before making the prosthetics cooler, let me set them per kit

[edgy latch]

i mean, they had the right idea when doing the Mark IV

just look at the concept art

[obtuse laurel]

man I just got a clean sniper kill just for the ultimate challenge to not count it for some reason

[tulip tusk]

was it on the new map?

[obtuse laurel]

It was in Husky Raid, in that one old town looking map

I got a counter snipe headshot and I got nothing for it besides the medal

[fiery sedge]

Is there a problem with the servers?

I’ve been experiencing constant packet loss today and yesterday

Nvm seems to have just been my internet having a weird one

[steep mantle]

Does anyone know if there gonna be new seasons coming to Infinite? We ain't got anything news recently since season 5.

[young glen]

Seasons got replaced with operations.

[steep mantle]

So they stopped doing them or there gonna be a huge changes in the future?

[signal ivy]

they moved from seasons to operations

no more seasons, only operations

with free operation passes

[steep mantle]

Ah, so there won't be a new update. Or if there will be then when?

[coarse dagger]

There will still be updates , there are still features in development that will be released this year

EAC, Match Composer, Networking model changes, etc

[steep mantle]

Ah okay, I'm asking cause I'm haven't heard anything new that comes to the game soon. Seasons or another major update.

[signal ivy]

keep an eye on #announcements for Infinite update news

[thorn sierra]

i was playing halo CE multiplayer and a random dude in chat started to call everyone a n word

[steep mantle]

Wait I don't know, was there an update where they fixed the desync issue? Cause I can't remember if that was fixed before to be noticed.

[sullen owl]

Not yet. They piloted network changes in a special network beta playlist, they're back in the oven to bake a little longer.

[solid star]

So now that we’re doing operations instead of seasons, when will the next Content Update (CU30) be?

[sullen owl]

When it's ready. 😁

[velvet dirge]

it'll be coming 'round the mountain when it comes

[steep mantle]

Yeah it will be perfect if they do not forget about additional content being added, the vehicle we all love the mantis, and some AI too.

There still a few content we be missing.

[solid star]

The Content Updates usually contain a heap of bug fixes too, and given that operations are basically month-long mini-seasons, each with their own bugs and issues, it would have made sense to have a new CU or at least a big bug fix with the start of each new operation

[rugged quartz]

Unfortunately we lose a lot of value stuff by losing the season passes

[solid star]

Agreed

[rugged quartz]

I'm guessing probably in may

[solid star]

That was my guess as well

[rugged quartz]

We need more sandbox

[solid star]

CUs in the past came with each season, and technically these three ops are all Season 6 (they’re even coded in the game as such), and by that reasoning we won’t get a new CU until the ops end in April

I still stand by my point that we should get big bug fixes and patches with each new op to fix whatever remaining issues were in the previous op

[rugged quartz]

Mid season updates weren't uncommon before

[solid star]

Yeah and we need those back, but they need to be mid-operation patches instead of mid-season

[rugged quartz]

Mid operation? That's like every 2-3 weeks

More ambitious than the drop pods. And we only got like two after they were announced and then scrapped

[steep mantle]

I'm just hoping there won't be any long delays between seasons or updates as they promised.

[surreal mirage]

Guys do you think that i should get halo infinite campaign now or wait for a better price?

Please someone advice

[main iris]

me personally id say just dont get it 😭

really isnt worth ur money or just get gamepass and get it that way

[surreal mirage]

I mean im a big fan of halo i have played all games but halo 5

Beaten all games on heroic

[main iris]

just pay for a month of gamepass ultimate so u can install the campaign and halo 5

[main iris]

ive done them all on legendary

[surreal mirage]

Yeah im not so strong mentally

[surreal mirage]

And what after that

[main iris]

just cancel it

[surreal mirage]

And then i cant play anymore tho

[solid star]

Just to be clear, when I say “patch” I mean “bug-fix mega pack”, as 343 seems to prefer “saving up” bug fixes for a mega patch than fixing individual bugs as they come up, and in some ways it makes more sense to fix issues with an operation while it’s still going than waiting until it’s over and locked.

Still, I suppose that’s a tight schedule and there can be issues that only come up or are discovered after the patch, so in other ways it does make sense to have it so that the next op release also comes with bug fixes for the previous op (instead of being released in the middle of the previous op)

[main iris]

keep buying it i suppose

well worth it imo really good price for what u get

[surreal mirage]

Nah if u say its lame then i shluldnt

[solid star]

The steam spring sale starts soon

On sale it’s like $23. Not bad at that price

[surreal mirage]

But do you think it'l be cheaper in a later sale?

[solid star]

That’s the cheapest it will be

[surreal mirage]

I mean it was launched 2 years ago

[solid star]

Correction

[surreal mirage]

Almost 3

[main iris]

brother what 😭 just get gamepass so u can play ur games and like 500+ other games

[solid star]

The sale is on now and it’s $24 (retail $60)

[rugged quartz]

Pretty sure CU refers to every update we've had, therefore this is the 29th we've gotten.

[surreal mirage]

Yes i know but it isnt really cheap
At least not for latam

[solid star]

Ah

Forgot Steam upped their prices down there

Or maybe it was just Argentina (I remember reading it in the news somewhere)

[surreal mirage]

I belive they dropped the price of some games

At least on ecuador

[sharp summit]

How can I find the current map rotation for quick play

[steep mantle]

I usually buy Game pass ultimate but there is Game pass Core as well, which could extend the ultimate. But I don't have much insight about it.

[solid star]

Is there any conformation we’re even still getting mid-season patches? I did some calculations, and we should have gotten them this week as that was the halfway point for this Season’s 3-month period

[main iris]

Dont ever join Cobra Commander!!!

why am i not allowed to join

[steep mantle]

As my calculations was between the recent last 2 season updates was 122 days of wait time which is from June to October. In June we got season 4 and season 5 came in October it was within a year.

[coarse dagger]

There are no seasons any more

Operations took the place of seasons, which run on a 4 to 6 week basis

[solid star]

Technically/code-wise there are. Spirit of Fire is S6.1/Season 6001, Cyber Showdown III is S6.2/Season 6002, and The Yappening II is S6.3/Season 6003

As I said before, one of the main purposes of the mid-season updates is to fix a variety of bugs and issues with the Season that weren’t deemed high-priority or severe enough to warrant a backend update to fix them.

Now that we’re not doing “seasons” anymore, does that mean we’re not getting these mega patches/mega bug-fixes anymore and we have to wait until CU30 starts in May for the “low-priority” bugs from the 3 operations to be fixed?

[young glen]

I'm guessing it's at least 50% off? You're not going to get a better discount than that for a long while, I'd say.
But yes, it's worth it. The gameplay is solid. It doesn't offer anything revolutionary or mindblowing but you'll get at least +10 hours of fun out of it as long as you approach encounters with the idea of using equipment to their max potential. Wiping out the elite lieutenant enemies (note: I can't remember exactly what they're called) is a fun side objective that the open world offers.

[surreal mirage]

Yeah 23 dollars isnt the cheaper i've seen

Im willing to pay up to 20 dollars

[steep mantle]

So are we only gonna have major updates? I'd never expected that after season 5 no seasons would come along.

[coarse dagger]

Operations will still be coming every 4 to 6 weeks, large features are still in development and smaller bug fixes are still being worked on

[solid star]

And when can we expect these smaller bug fixes? Will they be “mega patches” like in the old mid-season updates and released at some kind of rough midway point/time, released in small chunks with weekly backend updates, or will they only be released when the next CU comes along?

[thorn sierra]

I can't believe that someone actually recreated assault on the control room in halo infinite

[solid star]

The old Mid-Season patch system gave users an estimate as to when “low-priority” bugs would be addressed and fixed, and now that seasons are gone, those are gone as well.

[main iris]

i just want jfo back man : (

[solid star]

Me too

[main iris]

s tier helmet

[solid star]

Indeed

But back to my previous point, the loss of seasons in general has created a ton of uncertainty, as the way content in the game was handled/managed from launch to this point is now almost completely changed, and there really hasn’t been much information provided on how the “new way” works. So I guess what I’m asking for is a little clarification.

[steep mantle]

Most of the fan base is missing the playable elites in the game, which could have come in the next seasons but since those will be no more, then maybe in the incoming updates. But it may take them more time to develop I guess.

I'm not sure if those features will be added in the incoming updates yet. But it would be good if they had worked on this before.

[coarse dagger]

Nothing like that has been announced or hinted at

[solid star]

Do you have any information on the bug fix and patch questions I asked?

[coarse dagger]

I know as much as what has been announced so far, either on Waypoint or via the January live stream

[cyan crown]

are we going to get a halo 7?

[pallid storm]

We were told that we wouldn’t get an infinite sequel

But they might make another game

[sullen kiln]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572921337782337566/1066811550003896361/FnBy6SyXgAEUeNx.jpg

[coarse dagger]

There are new projects in the works, we don't know what they are yet or when they'll release

[cyan crown]

i just hope they don’t drag it on forever and ever, i don’t want the story to end, but i don’t want the story to be ruined

[coarse dagger]

I imagine we'll see a continuation of the Infinite storyline

[cyan crown]

that would be good i reckon. i hope to see more of chief

[night thorn]

just beat LASO in under 8 hours on Infinite, only achievements i need left are the co-op ones and i'll have 100%'d the game!

[pallid storm]

Nice

[cyan crown]

what are the best armour sets in the store? i can’t make my mind up

[pallid storm]

Whatever suits you the best

[cyan crown]

i take it, i can’t get the mark V anymore?

[thorn sierra]

On legendary or other difficulty?

[night thorn]

any difficulty for the co-op achievements

only issue is i dont have any friends with the campaign, just the multiplayer

[thorn sierra]

Should i buy infinite's campaign

[cyan crown]

it depends on what you expect from the game. currently what type of game do you think it is?

[thorn sierra]

Idk, but the open world seems interesting

[cyan crown]

it’s really good when playing with someone, open world is good. campaign and story imo is good.

[thorn sierra]

Also the weapons sound so goofy

[cyan crown]

wdym?

[thorn sierra]

Like they sound too weird like the rocket launcher sounds like a whiplash with extra echo

[full warren]

does any mode start with bandit other than ranked

[cyan crown]

i personally haven’t noticed it when playing campaign

[full warren]

that is 4v4

[solid star]

Firefight starts with an EVO

[full warren]

PVP

[rustic pier]

Tactical Slayer

[thorn sierra]

I just killed a dude in CE when i had 0 shields and 1 health pack like what i should have died

[ashen atlas]

Btb starts with bandit as well

Not 4v4 though, my bad

[steep mantle]

Halo 7 is being rumored as far as I know by some content creators. But I also heard they might come up with this new game, cause Infinite isn't good?

[ashen atlas]

Only one I can think of is tac slayer, and that isn’t always a guarantee to be a bandit

[rustic pier]

Yeah, I'm a BR fanatic. I don't particularly like the Bandit yet

[ashen atlas]

No sequel ever came out because the previous movie/game wasn’t good

[rustic pier]

Give me a DMR instead

[full warren]

kinda sucks that the only mode you can practice the bandit on is ranked lol

[steep mantle]

Yeah those were just rumors what we dont know if they will be true and which console they are releasing it on.

[ashen atlas]

Can be practiced in btb, not a 4v4, but still can be played to practice with it

[full warren]

I mean sure but very different setting

[ashen atlas]

I’d bet my bottom dollar that it’ll at least release on pc, unless it’s an arcade game like fire team raven, which I seriously doubt it will be

[ashen atlas]

Yeah

[steep mantle]

Or its will be on PS which also rumored but it's uncertain.

[coarse dagger]

The PS rumors started because of Xbox announcing games going to other platforms. Those games have all been announced now, Halo was not one of them

[steep mantle]

Yeah, that might not be true it's gonna be on PS. Halo 7 or any Halo game ever made.

But I would be surprised if any of those gonna be come to this platform.

[thorn sierra]

Tbh halo ce looks like a phone could run it

[ruby knoll]

i mean a modern phone could easily run it through a VM

man
my phone has more (and higher speed) RAM, more processing power, and more storage, than my family's old 3 PCs from the 00s combined

probably more pixels too

[zealous panther]

i wonder how involved 343 was in the halo tv series

[frosty condor]

That’s a good question for #halo-the-series-chat

[hard surge]

@crystal iron I already said that here. I Watched the First season of halo show And then played the games for the First Time. So Its was new for me. I knew halo for a long time but I wasnt interested. Now I am

[crystal iron]

ehehe

Im 37 years old when I first played halo I was 15 maybe thats why

[hard surge]

Halo CE Is a good game. But for me... Its the worst of all of them

For Now of course. I can still change my mind.

[crystal iron]

back then there wasnt a game like halo so maybe Im acting emotional IDK

[hard surge]

Its Okay, I understand.

I'm not mad at you, I understand...

[crystal iron]

thanks

still great to see new spartans enjoying halo

you played the remastered version of halo1 though right?

[hard surge]

Yep. But I could change the graphics to old one

But maybe Reach is for me the best Becuase I played it first I don't know how to explain that... When I saw noble six for the First Time He came to top 1 favorite character from halo And that Story was really good start for halo universe. (I know reach came out later)

[crystal iron]

yeah reach is pretty good you are lucky you can start experiencing by first playing reach it makes more sense

[hard surge]

I loved how CE started but when cortana was left in control room And I had those maze Parts it was... Annoying.

[hard surge]

I teared up a little... REACH was kinda emotional game for me.. (I usually dont cry while playing games) but REACH was really sad...

[crystal iron]

yeah

[hard surge]

😔

[crystal iron]

you know whats sadder than halo reach campaing is the greedy microsoft

[hard surge]

[crystal iron]

if bungie was the one making all halo games halo today would be in a better place

but microsoft forced them to make a game every year or so so they qyit

[hard surge]

And how many games bungie did? 🤔

[crystal iron]

all the legendary ones

[hard surge]

So... REACH, halo 1?

[crystal iron]

yeah

reach and halo1 were made by bungie

[hard surge]

I'm kinda fine with halo Infinite to be honest. Its fun.

[crystal iron]

think about the best halo games youve played theyre probably made by bungie

except for halo1 for you 😁

[hard surge]

HALO: REACH - 10/10
HALO 1 - 7/10
HALO 2 - 7/10
HALO 3 - 8/10
HALO 4 - 9/10
HALO 5 - 7/10

[crystal iron]

halo5 7 🤨

[hard surge]

Here Is my list. Of course I understand some people Have different opinions

[hard surge]

I had 9/10 but you would hate me for it 😂

[crystal iron]

so halo4 wasnt terrible but it wasnt great either. i dont know what made you like it that much

[hard surge]

Story, visual, music. And missions

[coarse dagger]

It really wouldn't, it probably wouldn't exist

[coarse dagger]

This isn't true

Bungie was under contract to make a certain amount of games

[crystal iron]

its true they couldnt keep up

[coarse dagger]

It's really not

[crystal iron]

halo was a huge success why would microsoft not want bungie to make other halo games

[coarse dagger]

They wanted to stop making Halo games after Halo 2, they only made 3 because of the difficulties they had in making 2

[crystal iron]

yeah they had difficulties because microsoft wanted them to make lots of halo games

[smoky wave]

Even they weren't expecting to make Halo 2 either but in the end wanted to make one and last one

[coarse dagger]

ODST and Reach were a product of the contract they were under, but then they had already split off as an independent company

[hard surge]

Is halo ODST good? I started the first mission But it wasnt anything for me. Even it looks like the best halo for fans on the internet. (I love to Play as spartans, not shock troopers)

[coarse dagger]

No

[crystal iron]

they wre under pressure

[coarse dagger]

They were too ambitious with Halo 2 and couldn't build what they wanted in time

They did it to themselves

[crystal iron]

but halo2 was a success they turned it around

they made the game from scratch after it was not looking like what they wanted

[hard surge]

Halo 2 Was good. But I Didnt enjoyed playing as the arbiter

[crystal iron]

if you like halo 5 that much you ll like odst ones too

[hard surge]

I was shooting my own covenant bros 😂

[crystal iron]

yeah

[hard surge]

I had to skip it Becuase it was nothing for me but i'll give it another Chance.

[crystal iron]

it introduced playing in diffeerent parts of stories for the first time

it was crazy back then

I actually like covenants

especially elites

they are cool I think

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W69xjsMCgQ

[hard surge]

I have to go Now. Bye.

[crystal iron]

its sad that youll never experience this ending because you dont like halo1 😂

[hard surge]

Ending of what?

I Finished halo 1.

[signal ivy]

good morning

[hard surge]

Hi.

[static birch]

have you guys thought about the fact regret when fleeing earth decides instead of literally anywhere else decides to slipspace to halo 2 which leads to that ring getting blown up

cuz the chief then discovered it

like if he had went literally anywhere else they couldve just done their business and blown up the universe

[signal ivy]

delta Halo didn't blow up though

[static birch]

you are correct

idk why i didnt realise that while typing ive played halo 2 like 20 times past 2 years

💀

still doesnt remove the fact they couldve activated it if regret didnt mess up massively twice

[crystal iron]

good then

thought you didnt

[hard surge]

Nope. Like I said the game isnt bad, just those maze sequences are boring. thats all. but I finished all main halo games. I'm replaying it again with my friend now. 😄

[crystal iron]

nice

[hard surge]

if I didn't finish it, I wouldn't rate it😁

I love halo universe So... Why would I don't Finish the game that Is important.😄

[thorny zenith]

putting Halo 4 above 3 is criminal

[hard surge]

I'm sorry 😄🙏👐

[thorny zenith]

ey, we all have opinions

no worries.

[hard surge]

I was rating it from how much I enjoyed it. + Then Story, music etc.

But that Doesn't the games Are bad. All of them Are awsome.

[ruby knoll]

preach it. Every halo game brings something great to the table

[hard surge]

Yeah I agree with that.

[indigo tinsel]

Mangler is best gun in Infinite (fun wise). My monkey brain loves monkey gun :3

[hard surge]

I'm happy with my classic UNSC rifle 😄

And Magnum.

[ruby knoll]

buh buh buh scummy clickbait youtubers and reddit said infinite wouldn't get updates!!!!!

[rose cypress]

Sorry, didn't mean to ping-- The Bandit reload increase is nice, as is the reduced bloom for the Commando.

[frosty condor]

I’m gunna like the faster reload and reduce sound of the bandit

I can hear footsteps again

[rose cypress]

Lol, yeah the reduced sound will be great

[coarse dagger]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/ranked-march-update-preview

[lusty wraith]

Most interested in network improvements. The sandbox adjustments seem super minimal unfortunately. Was hoping for substantial changes to shock weapon stuff as was stated before

[cyan crown]

with halo infinite. if i buy one of the operation battle passes, will it run out?

[coarse dagger]

Nope

If you buy it, you have it forever

[cyan crown]

because cyber showdown 3, has a timer of 18 days

[lusty wraith]

Plasma Pistol changes seem weird to me, it should only have changed the charge time imo. It has issues with firing sometimes when you try to charge shot, and I’m worried that it’ll have ‘jamming’ issues again like the Riven Mangler does with single shot nerf

[coarse dagger]

Yes, it's 13 days until we move on to the next Operation, but if you buy it then you can continue to earn whenever you like.

[cyan crown]

right i see, thank you

what is the point in buying the cyber showdown premium pass, if all the items are free anyway?

[coarse dagger]

You get a bonus cosmetic item, I believe an extra challenge slot and the ability to earn items outside of the Operations live time

[cyan crown]

yh but is that rlly worth it?

[coarse dagger]

Entirely up to you. If you don't want the bonus item and can complete the Operation while it's active, you don't need to buy it. It can be useful if you miss an Operation that has already ended

[cyan crown]

cool cheers

[coarse dagger]

You bet :)

[hollow bobcat]

I wish Halo Infinite added rocket race. It was a mode where you and a teammate had to ride on a mongoose that was invulnerable. The goal was to drive through small spots on the map to score points while the backseat player shot rockets to knock others off course.

[blissful vortex]

Hi

Whats the most played halo for multiplayer nowadays? Bought mcc for the campaigns but I wanna look into mp as well

[celest heron]

probly h3 or reach if you meant in mcc.

[blissful vortex]

Well wbu outside of mcc?

Ig halo infinite is active as well cuz its the newest

[tulip tusk]

For MCC, Reach. Infinite is prob most active. Halo 5 warzone has some games but not super active.

MCC custom game browser is good. Try out rabidsmods invasion lobbies

[zealous panther]

Internal Server Error when i trying to open halowaypoint

[empty iron]

I need to know how best to script this.

I am working on a "The Finals" game mode. The way this functions is that each player kill will automatically award you 500 coins, and a killed player will always drop 1000 (Note: this will not drop a thousand coins, but a single coin object worth 1000), including what that player did not bank. Players stock up these coins, but they do not translate to game winning points until you reach a bank and cash it in. Coins are at the moment represented by an orb dynamic object. Banks are currently just a switch, but I want it to be an extraction mode area. When the bank is activated by a player, it creates an extraction event where other players can hijack the bank and steal the money for themselves after a successful extract.

The issue I am having is how Forge handles duplication and dynamic lists. I can't figure out a way to create an object from scripting using a single object as reference. What this means is that instead of taking an "original" and then spawning multiples of the original when needed, Forge wants you to instead physically duplicate each object to the desired number, then script each one separately. To avoid spaghetti code and copy paste nonsense, I tried to throw all of my dynamic object duplicates into a single large area monitor.

So the coins that spawn on a player are now wrangled inside an area monitor, and on player death, the script checks the monitor to see what coins are not in use, grabs the appropriate amount, teleports them to the player location, and then the coins await pickup. I tried to create a dynamic list of "active coins" and attach monitors to them via code, but the game wants me to instead write a pickup script for each coin. How do I avoid a mess?

[zealous panther]

when patch will be applied?

[tulip tusk]

that's beyond my forge experience, have you tried asking the reddit forge discord or Scripter's Guild discord ?

[rugged quartz]

Hm I might be able to help. I'll have to look back at it in a bit but you can use custom event trigger to avoid redoing a lot of the scripting for each coin

[cyan crown]

this might be a dumb question, but is there just a standard lfg for multiplayer? if so i can’t find it

[tulip tusk]

looks like lfgs are broken into more specific types

[cyan crown]

yes, but isn’t there one just for a standard multiplayer? if not do i just use the ranked

[coarse dagger]

#lfg-social or #lfg-competitive

[cyan crown]

thx

[silver pulsar]

What happened to booting in MCC? You can get betrayed twice and not get option then you betray once and I get insta booted

[rugged quartz]

You can't do a single area code for multiple objects. Each object must have a single one.

[teal scarab]

uhm, anybody has clipping into the terrain issues since update?
I keep clipping into the ground on my screen in Husky Raid 😦

[empty iron]

Not quite what I'm doing. The large, single area monitor just pools together my orbs for easy listing. I actually just changed it to a custom game mode object list and removed it entirely.

I'm wishing it was capable of

For each object in (object list) -> on object entered area monitor event -> etc.

For each object in (object list) -> °Area Monitor

Instead I have to do this like 30 times on each unique, already spawned in object just to get the effect that a bunch of coins dropped off of a Spartan. It's just janky and I'm hoping there's a solid workaround.

[tough temple]

Any tips on winning objective matches when you're 1v4? (teamates I get put with just installed and are learning how to walk still it seems)

With Slayer I can at least follow my team and try to be their bodyguard, but I can't do much about the objective if the team is in the corver of the map looking for lore or whatever.

[ashen atlas]

Nope. Even if the team you’re against doesn’t communicate(and are partially competent) it’s just not possible without extreme luck

1v4 is just not going to happen

[tough temple]

i cri

[young glen]

Commando buffs!
New Squad Battle maps!
New networking model!

Awesome update, I must say. Not interested in the other stuff but I'm also glad to see the Hammer is receiving a nerf, as lots of folk had an issue with that.

[quasi nexus]

Did I read they're fixing the desync next week?

[ruby knoll]

idk, did you read that

[quasi nexus]

I saw it on a gaming news tweet. Idk if they're legitimate or not

I was more shocked it hadn't already been fixed ngl haha

[coarse dagger]

Desync isn't a single issue unfortunately, it's something that's affected multiple parts of the game. There have been various patches released to try and resolve them

[obtuse laurel]

omg yes same

nothing beats trailing that thing and doming someone with what is essentially a very angry nail gun

[ruby knoll]

if only there was a 343 run website that had information about upcoming and released updates...

Alas 😔

[thorn sierra]

Fps games fried my brain so badly

Now that i beated almost all classic halo game except halo 3 ODST bc im still playing it, what should i do in the mcc?

[tulip tusk]

try out the rabid mods lobbies in custom game browser its a super improved invasion

[tulip tusk]

uses halo reach

[thorn sierra]

hu

[tulip tusk]

rabid mods uses halo reach look in custom game browser for a lobby

[thorn sierra]

oh ok

[tulip tusk]

it's a super fun invasion lobby, really great maps, some have phantoms, special vehicles, and classes like grunt and brute

[thorn sierra]

Classes?

[tulip tusk]

yea

like more in depth loadouts to pick at spawn

[thorn sierra]

oooo

Why do spartan IVs now look like spartan IIs?

[fallow merlin]

Because they look better.

And they kind of already did in Halo 4

[thorn sierra]

"and what now, more brutes?"
"Worse."

[near trellis]

What is the best way to kill those dumb banshees on the bridge in two betrayals in Halo CE?

[fallow merlin]

Most human guns except a sniper can do the trick.

Gotta be close if you have a shotgun. And if you use a rocket it will really only work if they’re coming straight at you.

[near trellis]

Thanks the magnum worked pretty well, plus shotgun but yeah have to wait until they are close

[quasi nexus]

No time to go to halo website I live on the fly

Hey have you guys ever heard of the game Halo? Halo is a hugely popular science fiction universe that has expanded across various forms of media, including video games, books, comics, and even a live-action series. Here's a simplified explanation of Halo for someone who isn't familiar with gaming:

Imagine a vast and futuristic universe where humanity has spread across different planets. In this universe, there are these super-powered soldiers called Spartans who wear advanced armor and have incredible abilities. They're like the ultimate protectors of humanity.

But there's a threat to humanity called the Covenant, a coalition of alien species who believe humans are a threat to their religious beliefs. They're constantly at war with humanity, and it's up to the Spartans to defend against them.

One of the key elements in the Halo universe is something called the Halo rings. These are massive, ring-shaped superstructures that were created by an ancient civilization. They hold immense power and have the potential to wipe out all life in the galaxy. However, they also have the ability to contain a deadly parasite known as the Flood.

The main storyline follows Master Chief, the most famous Spartan, and his AI companion Cortana as they battle against the Covenant and the Flood, trying to save humanity and the galaxy from destruction.

Overall, Halo is a rich and immersive sci-fi universe filled with epic battles, intriguing characters, and complex storylines, appealing not only to gamers but also to fans of science fiction and action-packed adventures.

[frosty condor]

[solar crag]

sounds like a fun game

[ashen atlas]

Is this halo like an indie game or something?

[slim flint]

yeah

hand-crafted by Jason Bungie himself

[tawdry palm]

Hi. Is there a place (forum, discord, wiki...) to exchange on Halo infinite forge?
I'm looking for help to script some prototypes.

[plain current]

anyone by the name: Lemonvoid?

[frosty condor]

#lfg-forge

[tawdry palm]

I'm not looking for a group to play forge, though

[night thorn]

I had a couple Forge map ideas I may want to work on in the near future, all used with Team Slayer most likely

• Grunt Methane Distribution Factory
• An actual outdoors Grunt Bday Party
• A personalized cave where an Unggoy hid out during the glassing of Balaho (joking about the Noble 6 theory)

I love Grunts so I wanted to make something themed after them, which sounds the most interesting?

[inland minnow]

you can use the forum tag in #1076337363770417172 if you just generally want to discuss forge, your post is less likely to go unnoticed that way

[inland minnow]

all of these sound like really fun ideas! the birthday party i think tops the list for me, followed by the factory and then the cave

[frosty condor]

Did the color of the grenade trail change to green for anyone else?

[kindred oriole]

did they add a sidekick sniper combo to firefight or am I crazy

[civic sundial]

Which map are you playing on?

Because on one of the maps that is a secret weapon in Firefight

[kindred oriole]

this guy is dropping hundreds of sidekicks on the ground

[civic sundial]

Oh, that shouldn't happen

Like all at once?

[kindred oriole]

ok now i'm confused, he has 5k games played.
nvm it's just an easter egg weapon

[thorn sierra]

MCC banned me temporarily for crashing, yay!

[hollow bobcat]

FYI: Husky Raid's "Outlook" map suuuucks.

bad actors can force crashes -> can't simply classify crashes separate from quits anymore

it sucks but there's no good way to tell a "real" crash from a false one

[spare finch]

that's caused by cheaters crashing everyone's game by force

For more context:
I was playing socials on halo 3, it was slayer and the textures corrupted when the game finished loading, i had 5 seconds before the game crashed and also crashed all the programs i had open at that moment

[obtuse laurel]

oh that def sounds like a hacker

that or your pc absolutely cannot run Halo 3, which probably isn't the case cuz it's over 15 years old

[thorn sierra]

Also mcc didn't crash after that 5 seconds, after 19 seconds of the freeze it crashed

[thorn sierra]

My pc is win 11

[obtuse laurel]

yeah so that sounds mega suspicious

[thorn sierra]

Maybe it is bc i have low space?

[spare finch]

definitely a hacker
