halo-discussion

[magic night]

seanonix isn't trolling

[spice dragon]

I ONLY play firefight, and I get melee kills constantly in firefight, and it still shows 1/3. The only reason it’s 1/3 is because I went into super fiesta and got a melee kill from behind by luck.

[magic night]

The weekly can be done in Firefight. I've done it myself.

[tawny halo]

Honestly, firefight is gas

Even floodfight, albeit it is only playable on halo 3

[spice dragon]

I’ll try to firefight route for this challenge, and we’ll see. If it works, I owe y’all an apology. But I’m tired of being trolled by people when I ask for help. Henc why I never ask questions anymore.

[shadow turret]

I'll be doing it after lunch if you need extra proof too

[spice dragon]

Okay, so it said 1/3 spartan kills via melee, and I just finished a firefight game and it counted, even though they we're grunts? So apologies @tulip tusk.

[unique mango]

I just suffered through back smacks

[celest heron]

saw a clip of flying hogs in infinite. we're back in h2c now.

[spice dragon]

The amount of times we have to suffer through a weekly challenge, and half the times the reward isn't even worth it lol. We're all troopers man.

[unique mango]

That’s not all tho I bought halo 5 couldn’t even play it because I need game pass

I only wanted to hold the spartan laser again

[glacial tartan]

Havent we been for a few years now though 😛

[celest heron]

don't think it's been in mm

[glacial tartan]

I'm teasing a bit. Its been in MCC for a while now, but you're right this level of manipulation is newer to Infinite.

[spice dragon]

You should be able to play halo 5 without gamepass? Unless you’re trying to play multiplayer, then obviously you’d need Xbox live. But the campaign, you should be able to play?

[unique mango]

Yea but the campaign was not the best

They made master chief 60% weaker

[spice dragon]

It was mediocre at best.

[weak jackal]

It works, it literally works my dude 👌🏻

[civic sundial]

Ok, need to double check something, playlist progress in MCC carries over from console to PC, right? I know checkpoints don't but I just need to double check this one thing

[spice dragon]

I know. If you look a little lower, I apologized.

[weak jackal]

Ah, my b

[spice dragon]

All good 🙂

[young glen]

This worked for me too, thanks.

[shadow turret]

Got mine in Firefight as well

[balmy wedge]

I do not think so. I will double check in about four hours.

[civic sundial]

Roger that. Let me know when you do

[onyx latch]

He was literally the same amount of strong he always was.

If anything, 4 and 5 depicted him at his absolute strongest, considering he went toe to toe with literal sentient Forerunner practically-demigods who were explicitly trying to kill him and only him.

[unique mango]

What about Locke he was beating the crap outta him

[slender topaz]

[onyx latch]

Yeah, because a IV in armor is equal to a II in armor.

[unique mango]

And now Locke is my least favorite character 😑

[onyx latch]

That's a pretty dumb reason.

Then again, him showing why IVs deserve the Spartan mantle is also why he's one of my favorite Spartans.

[unique mango]

Blue team,chief and noble six are my favorite Spartans

[onyx latch]

Vanilla pudding.

[tulip tusk]

why did locke start selling helmet cosmetic attachments to banished brutes did he retire from oni and start own business

[onyx latch]

Smart tbh

[weak jackal]

Why did Locke let his helmet get taken by one of the Spartan Hunters, is he stupid??

[coarse dagger]

Why did Kat get shot in the head?

[weak jackal]

Is she stupid???

R/Batman Arkham has taken my sense of humour hostage

[onyx latch]

Someone should make a Brimless Chief and start calling him "Master"

[ruby lake]

why did jorge explode himself

is he stoid?

[onyx latch]

Like Man

[onyx latch]

Who the hell is Jorge? You mean Gorge?

[ruby lake]

is there a lore reason why arb disappeared after hal 3?

is he ghost?

[weak jackal]

Why did Noble die alone, was he stupid???

[onyx latch]

No, dummy, it was dramatic irony

[ruby lake]

guys i made this new spartan what the HECK should i name him?

[onyx latch]

NGL, I do think that is the one ironic death Noble Team actually had, in spite of how much I hate the memes.

[weak jackal]

Why did the Runners disappear, were they stupid???

[ruby lake]

i think halse is stuoid

[ashen atlas]

Why is it that every number that is greater than 2 is the sum of three primes?

Am I stupid?

[ruby lake]

is there a lore reason why

[weak jackal]

Prime?

Like Optimus??????

Am I stupid???????

[tough temple]

Would be nice if the estimated wait times in Infinite were per region.

[magic night]

They should be

I remember we conducted a test here and concluded they were

[grave ether]

I'll do it

Wait, someone did it to an action figure

[onyx latch]

Hot take, that doesn't look bad.

[grave ether]

Kinda looks like one of the helmets already in infinite a little bit

[tulip tusk]

it looks like he has no frontal lobe

[unique mango]

Blue team helmets in infinite

🤔.

[coral rose]

I have a question...
do you know where I could find a halo 3/reach Scarab 3d model? Preferably rigged for blender or unreal engine, but it could not be rigged and that would be fine.

If anybody has any info that could help me, that would be appreciated!

[spare finch]

master chief if he was on noble team:

[spare finch]

the bite of 2559

[wide trout]

squatting in your frontal lobe since the bite of '87

[spare finch]

the covenant during halo reach in a nutshell: "hippity hoppity your land is now windows which have become my property"

[old bloom]

How do you lock team changing in Custom games as a host (INFINITE)? People changing teams on their own is chaotic

[slow walrus]

that moment when you pop a double xp boost and can't find a single game for 50 minutes and counting

and my boost just ran out, what a waste of an hour

this sucks

wish we still had bot bootcamp so I could at least get this ultimate done

[zealous panther]

How many boosts you have?

[frosty condor]

I always pop the booster when I find a game, so at least I get one game counted

[zealous panther]

I wish xp boosts work on the profile xp

[round forge]

This may be a bit random but what is everyone's opinion on the Jackals speaking in Halo Infinite as I know some people didn't like the change? I had mixed feelings on it until I actually played the game and listened to the dialogue between the grunts and jackals.

[frosty condor]

I’m fine with it

It’s about time they had dialogue

[civic sundial]

It's a change that should've happened long before Halo 5 made the change

[zealous panther]

What change people didn't like?

[analog salmon]

when chief takes his helmet off in halo 4, it shows his face

this breaks continuity with Halo CE when he takes his helmet off, and there's another helmet underneath it

[slim flint]

he left his reserve helmet in that ship

[civic sundial]

We were talking about Jackals speaking English in gameplay, they never did that until Halo 5

[zealous panther]

Ah. Eh, I don't see why not. They in war with humans for many years now.

[subtle iris]

i have question guys, i can have the chief armor ? or its too late ?

[young glen]

You unlock it once you reach max career rank.

[subtle iris]

thanks for the answer how many ranks ?

[frosty condor]

You can read about it here https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/career-rank-overview-season-4

[subtle iris]

thanks

[balmy wedge]

They do not!

[civic sundial]

Roger that!

Thanks for confirming for me

[tulip tusk]

thats going to take ages guudluck

[subtle iris]

I'm gold

[tulip tusk]

Gold is VERY far away from max rank! my career rank is gold staff sergeant and id need about 5,800 games to reach Hero lol no way that's happening

how close are you?😁

[tulip tusk]

https://spartanrecord.com/
@subtle iris allo

[lilac abyss]

I think Halo 2 is my favorite halo

Halo 2 is #1
CE is #2
Reach is tied with 3

I think ODST is my least favorite. 4&5 I like better

[halcyon violet]

It'll be cool if the Arbiter's Guard Coating was manufactured by Swords of Sanghelios themselves but NOPE. 343 just had to advertise themselves as the manufacturers.

[limpid pollen]

next halo title to be rated M (potentially) this is goated. no more baby garbage halo, pls god bring the flood back too

[tulip tusk]

thats exciting i hope it's true!

[limpid pollen]

its just on a little promotional art thing, so 🤷 i just pray that halo makes a return to form

seems like xbox thinks that theyre major market is children, but hopefully seeing the success of helldivers will make them pivot away from that mindset

[signal ivy]

they could have flood and still be rated T

Awakening the Nightmare for example

[young glen]

I don't think that promotional image implies that the next game will be rated M. I think they're referring to Halo as a whole on Xbox so they attach the M rating because of the Master Chief Collection.

I could be wrong though of course, it could just be a mistake, or something we haven't even thought of.

[civic sundial]

I wish people understood that ratings aren't decided by 343i and are based on the content of the game when it's submitted to the ESRB

[signal ivy]

right and outside of the US the ratings haven't changed

it's only a US skill issue

[civic sundial]

Indeed

[civic sundial]

Like, for me, it's always been a 15

Uny plz XD

[celest heron]

leave the flood in the past unless they're making a horror game.

[signal ivy]

leave the flood in the past unless they're making a horror game.
FTFY

[celest heron]

mak horror game. FTFM

[civic sundial]

What kind of horror game?

Because it'd have to be more of a Resident Evil style game than Alien Isolation style due to the nature of the Flood being an enemy that attacks in a horde

[celest heron]

idk, but I think a marine or odst main would be good.

[civic sundial]

Which is why I want a Halo Horror game to be about a civilian against a Spec Ops Elite

[celest heron]

so like it's hunting them?

[balmy wedge]

If I recall correctly, I've heard Halo 5 never even intended for a T rating, understandable considering how violent assassinations are. I heard the main reason for the rating was just because they toned down blood... For better framerate. And considering how many games have far worse gore, violence, blood, swearing, compared to the worst of the Halo franchise, it's honestly not unfitting.

But I do need myself some Flood though. It's just not the same without my ambushy boys.

[civic sundial]

Yes, likely in a damaged space ship or something

[civic sundial]

That I can believe due to how hard they were pushing for Halo 5 to be 60fps at all times. Like, I bet if Halo 4 also had barely any blood (And we ignore the skeleton we see having flesh stripped off on Composer) for similar reasons, it also would've gotten the same rating

And like, the age rating isn't exactly indicative of whether a game is good or not anyway. If it was, all Mario games would be considered bad

[balmy wedge]

The tonal whiplash of that scene was so good. You're playing a space shooter and then are violently reminded of the game's age rating.

[civic sundial]

Aye, for sure. And then having the level after being what at the time we thought was Cortana's death was a good move for the game's story

Like, I remember playing through both after school and being shocked when that moment happened

[signal ivy]

https://tenor.com/bzfdR.gif

[civic sundial]

They'll be fine, they've got new bodies and space guns now

[onyx latch]

What's funny is, when I went through that, I was a little cynic.

"Nah, that death won't stick."

[civic sundial]

Trench... Why did you have to be like that back in the day?

[onyx latch]

I hated Cortana as a character back then and figured they'd do something to annoy me. The Weapon is ironically what I actually expected.

[rugged quartz]

No. flood vs prometheans

[signal ivy]

flood vs prometheans but the flood always wins

[balmy wedge]

I've always wanted a Firefight mode where each round is a different faction. One Covenant, one Flood, one Forerunner.

[civic sundial]

You can kinda do that in ODST now since there's Flood and Sentinels

Though obviously there's not much to the Sentinels than just thr standard Aggressor Sentinel

[rugged quartz]

prometheans should win to show what they were made for

[balmy wedge]

But it'd be really funny if they didn't. Devastating warriors created to annihilate Flood... But their only strength is they don't die as fast as human and Covenant.

Though I'm pretty sure that contradicts the lore.

[tulip tusk]

plus they dont add to the Flood numbers/intelligence if defeated! EDIT just their ships and equipment but not bodies

[weak jackal]

POV: You touched cold dish water

[ruby knoll]

Considering the (media) literacy of the fanbase it's not hard to imagine why Xbox would think that

also yes helldivers is totally popular only because of a rating assigned by the US video games rating board, one famously made to appease puritans

[rose tundra]

What’s the weekly reward this week? Didn’t see it posted on Halo social channels

[young glen]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1028867807150096434/1227393024791810119/image.png?ex=66283dd4&is=6615c8d4&hm=2f21ac99cf5b9c1815e85317460064adc86d2bf5724efab3d9ec94ab4d321cda&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1287&height=671

[rose tundra]

Thank you 💪🏻

[onyx latch]

Also one famously ignored by most of the free world.

[arctic walrus]

I just had the most wholesome match of Halo Infinite

Was playing husky raid, and the entire enemy team left the game. So me and my team of randoms were just goofing off at their spawn waiting for someone to join.

Eventually, somebody did and at first we kept beating them up. But then we started being friendly to the guy and we all just kept messing around.

We ended up letting the guy take our flags for a free win. It was so sweet lol

[coarse dagger]

😄

[ashen atlas]

What a bunch of chads

[thorn sierra]

Just had a gruntpocalypse match in heroic and i was scared bc i was with no shields and my teammates died and I tried to revive them, ended up dying but i revived one teammate that revived the rest

[celest heron]

best just to live and wait for your teammates to naturally respawn unless you're close to losing the hill and the game.

[lilac abyss]

I beat Halo CE on Laso

It has been a week and a half straight of pain

[ashen atlas]

Lol

[finite prawn]

good stuff

[lilac abyss]

Thank you my friend.

[finite prawn]

next is to speedrun CE

[celest heron]

in ff, and two teammates in a party quit during hill two and we didn't get any bot replacements. luckily, only lost one hill and still won the game with my one remaining teammate.

[weak jackal]

👑

You dropped this

[celest heron]

oof, just had two bugs in the same game

[steep badge]

I could never bruh

the library would be the end of me

good job tho

[finite prawn]

i believe in you

try it

[steep badge]

nah I'm garbage at halo

[arctic walrus]

🤴 Thank you

[crystal iron]

Hey

I was wondering if there was anywhere I could show sum pics as master Chief in a anime?

[weak jackal]

#1076327824924872755

[wise shale]

still no upscaling in infinite, right

[analog salmon]

the temporal upscaling is pretty decent

[misty vale]

The game has always had dynamic resolution.

[shadow turret]

Absolute chads, all of ya

Also, is the Dracon Bandit model not showing up in the 2024 HCS launch bundles for anyone else?
Ik it goes away if you purchase a bundle, but I haven't yet

[white birch]

Does anyone here also play COD rn?
Im trying to figure out which BP has more overall content.

BP specifically not store stuff.

[finite prawn]

infinite ammo glitch

[steep badge]

idk how to do it so idc:(

[finite prawn]

pretty easy just double tap r and switch weapon on ground

[shadow turret]

there's also literally a skull that gives Infinite ammo in campaigns

[white birch]

And in Firefight if your lucky

[shadow turret]

ye

[balmy wedge]

@stray dagger give me the wisdom of your opinion: Why is Halo 4's progression system the best?

[agile void]

reach

[balmy wedge]

That's the thing: I've played every Halo game until the Xbox One games... But didn't play a single one online until the Master Chief Collection came to PC, so I never got a progression system until the most recent games.

[signal ivy]

because Halo 4 is the best halo game so hence everything contained in it is the best

[balmy wedge]

Welp. I guess that answers that!

[agile void]

Your opinion, not mine

[stray dagger]

Halo4's Progression system was what Reach's awful credit system wished it could've been.

It wasn't a total slog to level up and didn't require you to sit AFK in Grifball for hundreds of hours(Reach's fastest XP method).
Everything was unlocked on level, meaning I didn't have to grind out a ton of additional XP/Credits just to get an item locked behind a specific level-up.
Masteries let you choose sets of cosmetics you wanted to unlock for each 10 levels after level 50.
Completing Commendation Challenges was a test of actual skill and you got 100+ free rewards from them.

+More that I can't remember off the top of my head ATM.

[signal ivy]

good call

[agile void]

Might have been the only one

Not tryna start a civil war

[stray dagger]

Oh yeah, also;

Adding to the slog comment, in Reach you needed a few million XP(maybe even more tbh) to hit max rank, while Halo4 only needed a fraction of that.
Some campaign and multiplayer Achievements would give you armors and emblems.

[balmy wedge]

I might have to Google some of these terms because I don't think Masteries were in offline play.

[stray dagger]

I think they were, you just would've needed to get to SR 50 to unlock them, which I remember on an offline account would take forever, so I never bothered on an offline account, that's why I don't know for sure.

Oh wait my bad, they were called Specializations.

[balmy wedge]

Aaaah. Yeah that woulda done it, I played it a bit but between each Halo on the 360 I played it the least.

[edgy path]

tmw the match gets stuck on the map preview when loading

[onyx latch]

Halo 4's and rank stuff were not accessible in offline play whatsoever.

Reach, on the other hand, did have progress offline.

But there is a nuance.

[thorn sierra]

Im halo reach the only enemies are your allies, kat freaking flung me out lmao

[thorn sierra]

And auto destructive grunts

[onyx latch]

Reach's progress gave a lot of XP for everything in every mode offline for accounts that had never signed in on Halo Reach on Xbox Live, so if you never connected to Xbox Live, you never had to worry about progression, it was always possible til you hit max rank.

However.

Signing in for even a minute of online play-not even jumping into a game or lobby, but signing in on Reach whatsoever while connected to the internet, it would immediately reset your rank to zero. Additionally, commendations were only bragging rights, and did not unlock cosmetics, which 4's did. When you tried to progress further offline, you would only get around 100 CR/XP per game.

[finite prawn]

cannot use that in laso

or in actual legendary

[radiant ivy]

what did yall think of the starting pistol in halo 5

[halcyon violet]

The weekly challenge is bugged.

[quasi shard]

I'm realizing Spartan Assault had its 10 year Anniversary last week, and I'm kind of a bit disappointed to find out it still doesn't have co-op on PC.
I really hope they update that soon, even if its just for Local co-op.

[celest heron]

mine worked

[calm minnow]

Can someone please give me a solution on the Silent Auditorium glitch?

[sullen kiln]

You may refer to #1075989764026675210 if you are in need of community based assistance. This is strictly community sourced and operated and is not staffed by any official members of the Support team.

For official support, you'll need to go to the Halo Support site: https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[calm minnow]

What difference does it make?

Stop spamming that Iratus bot.

[tulip tusk]

all help topics go there bc it's like building a database of issues and fixes, in future people can search then find how others fixed it. if done in general chat it gets lost in void. plus, getting help with anything especially glitches usually is not simple and requires plenty of back and forth, over many hours, or days. it's best to keep it organized in own separate topic.

post there and people will help

[agile void]

I have finally finished halo 4, wrapping up my MCC campaign to do list

[zealous panther]

I can't find the strength to finish few more Spartan ops chapters solo in legendary. I really like halo 4 but this is... So boring!

[shadow turret]

You can
its required for LASO I'm pretty sure

[signal ivy]

can confirm

[pallid sorrel]

they need to start handing out perma bans from ranked on leavers games nigh unplayable winning a game person leaves person leaves if your losing over 75% of my ranked games have a leaver in them then the awful ppl on the other team get ranked points for winning a game they should never win thus sustaining them in ranks they shouldnt be in

[finite prawn]

he was talking about the library

[white birch]

Dont play ranked. Simple.

[hushed grail]

Is halo MCC split-screen on xbox?

[coarse dagger]

Yes

[twin crag]

how do u download individual games from gamepass app?
In the gp app, everytime I try to download MCC, it says 118GB, even if I just download the one of the games inside

[coarse dagger]

You can't, I believe only Steam and Xbox Consoles let you do that. Limitation of the Windows/Xbox store

Once it's installed, you can uncheck what you don't want and uninstall them

[twin crag]

damn, initial download is a bigger problem than uninstalling later :(

[normal ermine]

I used the linear response curve and no acceleration settings in apex legends, but halo infinite and mcc don't have those settings, so is it okay for me to use those settings through steam inpu?

[analog salmon]

it wont do anything

mcc has a linear response curve though

there's no way to get around infinite's response curve, idk why

[normal ermine]

Is modern shooting style is a linear response curve?

@analog salmon

[analog salmon]

Yup

Well close to it anyway

[frosty quartz]

i only have $20 on steam, what halo games should I get on the MCC?

[tulip tusk]

thats unfortunate i remember it being on sale, will there be a steam sale soon?

[signal ivy]

summer sale in june

[frosty quartz]

its $40 rn

and I only got $20 :/

[tulip tusk]

you may be able to buy it for $20 or less when the summer sale comes in June, thanks aegis. i remember it being $10 during a sale once, unless my memory is off and it was a dream memory which is possible

[signal ivy]

yeah it's usually 9.99 during sales

[frosty quartz]

I'm kinda impatient

but I'll wait this time

[untold yarrow]

Guys help

Do we have to collect all the skulls in a save and get to use them in the next save or can we use the skulls which we have collected so far?

[analog salmon]

you can use them

when you load into campaign you choose the skulls and difficulty for the current save

ur not locked into the choice

[tulip tusk]

u can do different saves the collection is universal

[vale swallow]

Gore can save Halo. Along with ||50 other things|| of course.

Blue grunt blood, purple elite blood, green flood blood.

We also☝️need Chief's helmet to get shot off the body with headshots (in multiplayer).

[rugged quartz]

There are more important things to do..

[crystal iron]

A pro player talking trash about 343 thank god 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

“Talking to 343 is like talking to a brick wall” 🤣🤣

Safe to say 343 has no idea what they are doing in the comp scene since they got rid of their pro team

[civic sundial]

Gore is definitely not the "thing that will save Halo". I'd hardly say it was ever a selling point of the series

[celest heron]

they still have pros there although a few left or are now working in a different area.

[ashen atlas]

What do you think needs to be improved?

[crystal iron]

The map pool for sure. Guns still need tuning for the comp scene. Team Slayer needs to be removed for comp. We do so much slaying now in OBJ games that the game mode itself is practically useless

[delicate jetty]

Has anyone played Coop Master Chief collection on PC recently? I remember trying it a year ago in February and it was really laggy for the person not hosting. Does it still not work correctly?

[ashen atlas]

Team slayer has a totally different strategy than objective modes though. In Arlington when ssg and optic were tied 49-49 that was one of the most tense games of the entire tournament

[crystal iron]

Yeah I'm not trying to play a TS after everyone in my games have 50+ kills in obj

I just quit TS games now cause it's pointless

[ashen atlas]

That’s because people throw their body at the objective. In ts there is much for preservation

[crystal iron]

Not really

[ashen atlas]

Did you not see that ssg and optic match?

No objective mode slows down like that

That match came to a complete standstill

[crystal iron]

I've played CTF games that slowed down just like that

[ashen atlas]

In tournaments I’ve never seen a ctf go to a standstill

Only mode I’ve ever seen that happen to is ts

[crystal iron]

Then you must be newer age Halo player

[ashen atlas]

What would that have to do with it?

[celest heron]

there will always be some type of input lag, but it can become worse if the non-host players don't have perfect conditions and they aren't close to you.

[delicate jetty]

oh okay thanks

[oak topaz]

I wanted to ask if it’s just me or did anyone notice a bit of difference of weapons being more precise and work better with the opposite team? Like gravity hammer killing me in the air while I have to punch like two times to kill the enemy? It’s also happening with other weapons as well…

In quick play or social initiatives

[scarlet shuttle]

Guys I just saw someone use a masterchief emoji on a youtube comment, anyone know how? 🤔

[echo finch]

i played some roblox game called Delta ring its gravity hammer range is long

[echo finch]

idk

[tiny laurel]

Who has cursed halo or desert hog here

[inland minnow]

they're a youtube member for a channel with that emote. it's like twitch emotes - if you sub, you can use that channel's emotes.

[scarlet shuttle]

Oh ok thank you for the answer!

[inland minnow]

np!

[safe ingot]

So, weird question: does anyone feel like after this recent update, their performance has somehow gotten worse?

Referring to the one for Halo Infinite for clarity, the one that released the networking upgrade

[zealous panther]

I have not the best rig and I don't have drops in performance personally. I feel like the game working roughly the same

[short lynx]

Is laso hard or na

[zealous panther]

Depends on the game

And on the level. But yes usually it is a hard challenge... Honestly it is more tedious I'd say...

[crystal iron]

Hey 343 can we separate the Ranked playlist from the Social playlist please

[white birch]

They did. Its always been seperate.
Theres like, 10 social playlists

[crystal iron]

No like a drop down or a complete different menu for ranked

[crystal iron]

So having high ping in Halo is cheats lmao. I just watched a girl 3 shot someone with full shields and she is on 230 ping

[junior cipher]

yeah she will get better internet soon

[full warren]

man 3m30s wait time just for quick play

[civic sundial]

Everyone is killing Grunts

[full warren]

lol its been 7 mins waiitng in quick play...

[oak topaz]

Dang…thanks 🙂

[analog salmon]

its mid day on a weekday lightning

[analog isle]

Did halo Infinite campaign get any update? I played it at launch but then completly forgot it existed lol

[frosty condor]

it got co-op play

[analog salmon]

and mission replay

[full warren]

but its quick play..... They really can't find 8 people online during a weekday?

[analog salmon]

quick play is just the mixed slayer-objective playlist

if there was an actual way to search every social 4v4 playlist a la MCC then yeah, you'd find a match pretty fast

honestly im not even sure why they don't just make a Team Objective playlist, and then make the Quick Play button give you a 50:50 chance of queuing Team Objective or Team Slayer

the Quick Play playlist makes no real sense to me

[full warren]

Probably because in USA they dont need to

they have plenty of players to fill both list at all times

[analog salmon]

there's still no choice for 4v4 Objective only tho

anyway the match composer like system they're working on will probably address it

[analog isle]

Any new content except that?

[analog salmon]

sadly no

you'd think they could just toss the bandit and bandit evo on the FOBs for people who have 100% the game

it's small but being able to use those weapons when replaying missions would be nice

[zealous panther]

I would not even hope for any single player content anymore

[analog salmon]

they did randomly add Moa statues to MCC so honestly nothing would supprise me

[civic sundial]

Adding collectables to shoot at in older games is easier than making entirely new single player experiences

[crystal iron]

Who would like to try alien milk this fall ?

[white birch]

I'll stick to eating boiled Unggoy meat
Fun fact: every Covenant species is edible if prepared right, Dungeon Meshi style

[civic sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/culture-man-of-culture-cultured-gif-10903367

I wonder how Senshi would prepare a Blind Wolf?

[white birch]

The skin is leathery so it should hold the juices nicely.
I'd say fry it with the skin facing down kinda like a chicken, with hot oil.
Like how you cook a thorn beast honestly

Would need some spices tho, but the Forerunners planted full stable ecosystems so yiu should be able to find something to use

Man now I wanna see Menshi team on Instillation 04

[civic sundial]

Ok but an important question, would there be any...

https://tenor.com/view/bread-senshi-give-senshi-his-bread-dunmeshi-dungeon-meshi-gif-13784749192472379832

[white birch]

Probably? Might make a bit to make though.
They could always raid the Pillar of Autums crash site tho.

[crystal iron]

343 can we make overshield top mid for Aquarius instead of bottom planters?

[ripe root]

great another 3 v 4 in comp...thanks 343

[coarse dagger]

@strong gulch #1076327824924872755 is our space for sharing live streams

[white birch]

Funny enough it works the other way around too

[lilac abyss]

I have a question. Is Halo: Lone Wolf. 1 comic book or a series of comic books?

[frosty quartz]

should I get just Halo 3 and Reach on MCC? I only got $20 on steam

[tulip tusk]

u could wait for summer sale in June, MCC will be $10

[frosty quartz]

and what can I do with the extra $10

[tulip tusk]

contribute to your Roth IRA

[frosty quartz]

uh what

[white birch]

It's a 6 comic arc but there's a collection yiu can get

[strong gulch]

I was not aware thank you

[high verge]

Why were the prophets such fools

They literally made enemies with the sangheili

[white birch]

Calculated power move.
Specifically it was Truth, the other Prophets were either less informed, or completely unaware, of Truths plan.
As we see by him casually leaving Mercy to die to the Flood

[winter wren]

in a firefight mode in infinite and some ahole wouldn't move the warthog because i was on gunner and he wanted to be on and then I GET SUSPENDEED???

make this make sense

[blissful vortex]

is halo infinite matchmaking always ages in europe?

[zealous panther]

just found a game in 10 seconds.

[vale swallow]

Top Halos by Aura

1. Halo 2
2. Halo 1
3. Halo 3
4. Halo Reach
5. Halo 4
6. Halo 6

[open umbra]

Where's 5 and ODST?

[vale swallow]

oh 😥

[civic sundial]

Also why are you calling it Halo 6 when that's not the official title?

[vale swallow]

not worthy

[civic sundial]

Not worthy? What do you mean?

[slim flint]

it’s not infinite because the maps end

[crystal iron]

How it is at times… sometimes wish it was truly 17+ so kids can’t complain lol

[vale swallow]

𝕐 𝕆 𝕆 𝕠 𝕠 . . . 🤣

[spark ibex]

Every species is edible if you're brave enough 🫡

[misty vale]

Lol did u seriously stand in the gunner position until the game kicked you for being afk?

[onyx latch]

They'd have to be sitting there for like 5 minutes, but then Maru's always doing something that is not fully elaborated upon and blaming the game for it every time I see them complain.

What I assume happened is they got on the turret, everyone did firefight things because driving a warthog doesn't get you score, and they were there so long the game kicked them-and barely anyone on the team noticed.

Like, I'd leave em too-Gunning gets you score, driving doesn't.

[lilac abyss]

Okay, thank you friend

[old vigil]

If you buy a weapon charm for a weapon in Halo Infinite does it become available for all weapons?

[radiant sundial]

Yes, weapon charms/emblems work on all weapons

[old vigil]

Ok thanks brother

Coatings?

[civic sundial]

Yes for plenty of coatings these days but there are still a couple that are exclusive to specific weapons and armour, this is going to be changed soon

[old vigil]

Cool

[white birch]

An oversight that 343 should fix at some point, even if you don't get very much score for it

[celest heron]

should've drove off the map and then no one gets it.

[tulip cloak]

is it possible that any of you can help me? Ive been trying for months to play Halo Master Chief collection but it always gives me a login problem and idk how to fix it

[zealous dagger]

I feel like they should boot Halo: Fireteam Raven to Xbox or Pc

[spare finch]

loading time needs to be fixed on halo infinite's pc port

[spare finch]

I go into a match and I get an infinite loading screen on the latest graphics card driver

[old vigil]

Y’know

Still missing a lot of cross core I noticed

[onyx latch]

Helmets, visors, shoulders, and some coatings is still more than it used to be. Most other parts have significant clipping and positioning issues, which was already obvious from cross shoulders.

[spare finch]

yet again halo infinite on pc forces me to play on xbox because of the "problem with dedicated servers"

[spare finch]

big team slayer should be its own playlist, change my mind

[spare finch]

biggest problem with halo infinite's btb is teammates ignore the rules of surviving btb (1. get power weapons immediately, 2. stick to teammates, 3. get vehicles that aren't named __goose, 4. have at least 2 teammates follow you so that you don't die to a 1v4, 5. destroy enemy vehicles before they gain control of it)

[spare finch]

Might not play halo infinite as much until matchmaking is fixed, the lack of matchmaking makes it so I'm less confident in the game and it gets me killed way too often because my ignorant teammates keep being ignorant. This is one of the problems in the game that takes away the enjoyment of the game.

[celest heron]

they aren't going to make mm stricter especially in a 24 person game if it's not getting popular. best to just adjust your play style or find a party.

[misty vale]

The gungoose is a skill check. Thing owns.

[fallow merlin]

Does the gravity hammer show up in H5 campaign at all?

I can’t recall it being in the campaign

[onyx latch]

I don't think so.

[neon jasper]

The only reason I am now here is because I watched the show and it got me to want to play halo again lol

[civic sundial]

It's only in the multiplayer

[frosty condor]

Welcome! 🤗

[molten sparrow]

Yo guys I’m a new player to halo infinite on steam but I’m experiencing some problems

For some reason after I type my user and select my profile pic it won’t let me go to the next section

[vale swallow]

The players in halo infinite all have glowing outline / marker highlighting them. I'm finding it hard to understand why someone would spend effort to build their spartan with custom skin and color when the thick glowing outline is going to hide the actual armor design from being seen in-game. More here: https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1229048232152268830

[civic sundial]

The outline doesn't hide what your Spartan looks like

And the outline isn't all that intrusive to the experience

[tulip tusk]

join the thread - many disagree and have a different experience with Outlines. We are discussing it there, not here

[spare finch]

so only exclude the mongoose

I just exclude the gungoose because of how easy it is to hijack

[twin crag]

playing Helldivers, honestly I wonder how good a ODST firefight MMO (basically ODST Helldivers) would've been
it would've been so good, work well with the existing lore and be canon (afaik, im not lore pro but I think it would've been very nice),
and honestly just been so much fun :O 💔

[ruby knoll]

glowing
nah
thick outline
also not true lol

[blissful vortex]

hi

is there any way to invite someone after a game ends? from the post match screen

[crystal iron]

Yes recent played player history

[blissful vortex]

yeah I went to there but when I clicked on the guy it didnt give me any options other than report

[crystal iron]

Player might have invites turned off

[blissful vortex]

me or the other guy?

[crystal iron]

Other guy

[tulip tusk]

how about a pve map where you invade an underwater Nestle factory with ally Elites, Grunts, Hunters vs Nestle Mercenaries: Humans, Jackals, Brutes bosses lol

[faint delta]

does anyone know why halo 3 odst is making me do the first two missions again? I'm pretty far in, whys it gone back to the start?

all I did was turn on my 360, see that I'd been put back a level, change to the level I'm actually on, and then move on, is the game seriously gonna make me replay it just because I had to go do something for a while?

[clever coral]

In looking for 3 people to join me for ranked that are good so we win games if you haven't played much or are new then don't reply thankd

[spare finch]

you problem

[pale viper]

should i buy halo 2 anniv or halo 3 and odst

[young glen]

Personally I'd wait for a sale and buy the entire collection at a discounted price.

[shadow turret]

if you have about 10 CAD I'd just wait for the MCC to go on sale

[tawny halo]

I just finished my first match of VS AI Skirmish on Halo Wars

And all I did was hunker down as arbiter & I wrecked the enemy team with 2 scarabs, some banshees & some hunters

It’s so easy to win lol

Just wait out the enemy & get some goated units & charge them, problem solved

[pale viper]

thx

[tulip tusk]

It only gets tricky if someone leaves making it 2v3 and then don't flank enemy bases, just fight the AI units in front and try to overpower them that way. It ends too quick if someone flanks side bases bc AI isn't good at defending itself

[tawny halo]

The funny part is

They didn’t try to attack, they just kept sending like 1 warthog at a time

So I got a scarab, some banshees, an engineer, some locusts, some wraiths & a buncha jackals for some reason

[celest heron]

360? what year is it, lol. anyway idk, probly some save issue.

finally got some mcc btb games that's not h3. feels good

[tawny halo]

lol I just beat cutter on Blood Gulch by just sending in max level Arby with 50 max level Suicide Grunts

[radiant sundial]

Accurate

[tulip tusk]

just had a fun 3v3ai cause the AI built large armies and scarabs, we had to kill 2 voridus scarabs. i made 395 units it was a long match

[spare finch]

as far as I'm aware 343 thought of an idea similar to that, but sadly microsoft rejected that idea.

[onyx latch]

Halo fans fail to understand what ODSTs actually do challenge speedrun

[tulip tusk]

arent odst just special forces with unique drop pod insertion they could be helldiver style dropped intro large warzones or spec ops style

[onyx latch]

ODSTs are multidisciplinary shock troopers shock deployed into high threat zones, while Helldivers function more along the lines of what Spartans on the offense are expected to do-independently wipe out contingents of enemy forces and gut backlines.

There's exceptions, like specific ODSTs tasked to do specific jobs (A9, the squad the War Master trainee in Spartan Strike replaces, etc), but the majority are not deployed like Helldivers short of falling from the sky in an iron coffin.

[neon jasper]

So is infinite worth playing the Campaign?

[celest heron]

I'd say every campaign is worth playing at least once.

[blissful vortex]

Yeah and sadly h5 campaign is still not on pc

[tulip tusk]

may as well try it u may enjoy some levels

[tulip tusk]

ah ok i see. i wish we had odst AI, everyone would use them and their droppods in campaign levels

[neon jasper]

I picked up the Games pass for 1 buck so I guess Ill give it a go

So this is the last season?

[onyx latch]

No idea.

[coarse dagger]

If you mean the Operations, the current one is the latest announced operation. There will still be more, just haven't been announced yet

[neon jasper]

Ok and sorry if this is the wrong channel for that Im still figurting the discord channels out, Yea I saw a video saying that there will be no further seasons after 5 and move to the operation event, so i guess this is the operation event

[coarse dagger]

Yes, Seasons have stopped now but Operations have taken over. They release roughly every 4 to 6 weeks

[neon jasper]

ah ok understand, those past season items look good too lol

[zealous dagger]

Yeah definitely

[neon jasper]

its a nostalgia thing for me right now after watching the show I installed infinted and got right back into halo 3 refuled game modes

[zealous dagger]

Ahhh halo 3 refueled is so fun

[blissful vortex]

Halo 3 refueled feels like the same as quick play to me tbh

[neon jasper]

that a bad thing?

[blissful vortex]

Idk there is not much difference imo so I cant say if its good or bad

[celest heron]

that mtn dew map in the refueled playlist is in quick play which I don't really like.

[neon jasper]

i havent touched comp and Im afraid too lol

[blissful vortex]

Comp is the same as quick play but w ranks right?

Maps n modes wise I mean

[neon jasper]

I guess I dont know

[celest heron]

ranked has a different starting weapon. not sure about other differences, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were any.

[blissful vortex]

What do you start w in ranked? Or is it still map dependant?

[celest heron]

bandit evo

[neon jasper]

well lemme give it a shot and see how bad I am lol

[blissful vortex]

Thats cool, I like the bandit

[celest heron]

I found it a bit jarring since I don't use it much in other playlists.

[blissful vortex]

Its fine but I feel like its kind of a worse commando

The commando is better both close range and long range imo

[neon jasper]

theres 2 styles of ranked right? Arena and another?

[crystal iron]

Arena and slayer

[tulip tusk]

i recommend 3v3ai in Halo Wars 2 lol it can get crazy https://imgur.com/SVVkb3A

[neon jasper]

went 3-2 in my plaacements

[sour marlin]

Even though played Halo CE multiple times knowing what happens, some reason the mission 343 Guilty Spark always brings a nostalgic, fearful shiver despite knowing its the flood already

[frosty condor]

It’s up there being one of the best ways of introducing a faction in a universe

[zealous panther]

I like this level. The sad thing is the library after...

[onyx latch]

Why is that sad? Library's more fun as a level, best level in CE.

Not a joke.

[grave ether]

It's not actually silent though

[signal ivy]

neither is the cartographer or the auditorium

[silver grove]

Hello HALO fans.

[frosty condor]

Hello airborne catfish

[silver grove]

WOW.

[silver grove]

You like grunts?

[sour marlin]

I am so proud to have at least beaten that mode once i legendnary without a single death--

[zealous panther]

there is achievement for this if i remember correctly

[finite prawn]

i jist hate it when people say they dislike the level due to repeating geometry when the game was made in like 2001 and the purppse of the level is to feel lost and run through everything to survive

its a gauntlet

[blissful vortex]

that is a fact tho, I never felt lost in CE, It just didnt feel as good as other halo games due to every level being just a copy paste essentially

[analog salmon]

Where is the option to disable toggle scoreboard

Finally found it

[hearty nova]

Should i do halo 5 legendary with coop

I heard ai is dumb sometimes

[analog salmon]

Yeah the friendly AI is a bit weird

It’s a coop game for sure

[civic sundial]

The campaign is basically designed around playing in co-op

I definitely need to put together a team to play through it in co-op one day

Since I want to hear the different dialogue that happens there

[hearty nova]

Okie

Hopefully theres ppl still doing it

[weary pier]

Nothing really interesting outside really out there dialogue

The Mak 'Vadam one for example is honestly the most interesting co-op exclusive dialogue

[civic sundial]

Oh worm

I haven't heard about Mak 'Vadam

[weary pier]

Oh I suppose the weapons down mission dialogue is fun

But thats easy to get

Maybe later I'll set up my Xbox One to do localised co-op for Halopedia so I can do stuff in my own time. But I'd need to go out my way to do that

[civic sundial]

If you need a helping hand, I can lend it

[ember belfry]

wow halo multiplayer sure takes its time loading

[analog salmon]

If I’m JIP it’s fast

Joining-in-progress

But regular match starts take forever

Probs people playing off dying hard drives or something

[shadow turret]

for me its the opposite
JIP takes forever for me vs start of match

[neon jasper]

Made it to silver rank which I'll take since im an old man lol

[spare finch]

I've played it multiple times and it is the least boring halo game imo

[spare finch]

slomo
i'm already at diamond sergeant on the career rank

csr is slower since i'm more focused on the hero grind

[lusty wraith]

I think I’ve had the fastest JIP to game-end of all time

Didn’t even see a loading screen, the XP award screen just showed up lmao

Weirdly got challenge progress too

[regal rock]

Has Halo Wars aged relatively well as an RTS?

I'm sure the story is good, but as 2000's console RTS I do have some doubts lol

[onyx latch]

I had a pair of friends run it through in co-op recently and both mostly said that it's pretty sluggish on MKB.

It's not really bad per say, but it's very much a product of design philosophies at the time of design.

[regal rock]

I'd really just be playing on Deck, so playing with a controller isn't a big deal

It goes pretty cheap when on sale on Steam, it's been sitting on my wishlist for a while

[neon jasper]

Well I'm still in a bronze rank like captain or sergeant I forget but silver rank for ranked play

[spare finch]

s l o w

[neon jasper]

Literally just started playing it lol

[regal rock]

I remember playing Halo wars a decade ago and getting really stuck on the Scarab level, where it's shooting a big beam across the stage

I'm sure now it's probably quite easy

[coarse dagger]

@scarlet orchid File a player report if you suspect someone of cheating

[sullen kiln]

https://aka.ms/HaloSafety

[spare finch]

well that explains it

[zealous panther]

Halo wars was pretty good for what it was. Is it good on pc... Honestly I would say... It's not bad, but not worth your time if you want an rts game, because you have such a wide variety of way better rts on the platform. But if you want to play specifically this game it will be ok on it's own.

[winter wren]

for iinfiite, if i buy the $5 premium pass, am i able to finish it even after it's over

[crystal iron]

I don’t think the event/seasonal passes ever expire, so long as you own them

and even then, I think you can even get them from some section of the in-game store

I could be wrong about that second part, however

[winter wren]

as long as i own them..so if i pay $5 then?

which was my original question...lol

[crystal iron]

right, lol. yeah, you had the right idea to begin with, then.

but yes, as long as you paid for it, it’d be yours to keep & progress through as you see fit

[civic sundial]

When you buy it, you keep it, it will not disappear when the operation ends. The same is true about the seasons we got previously too, you can still buy those and unlock those passes

[zealous panther]

Yes

[ember belfry]

omg the relief I felt when the Steam version of Halo signed me in to my Xbox account and all my achievements were marked as complete

[zealous panther]

I have Xbox headset and this headset connected to my Xbox one and my pc. Sadly you literally can't turn on headset without turning on Xbox. So when I get the achievement in halo, I see achievement popup in steam, in windows and hear it on my Xbox through my headset. This is ridiculous.

[crystal iron]

Halo 2 is so nostalgia I started playing halo when I was 4

[vale swallow]

that means you're 24 years old☝️or wait... 27

[neon jasper]

I was already out of HS lol damn I'm old

[crystal iron]

No I am 16

[frosty condor]

[vale swallow]

Unc is 40, that's craayyy

[crystal iron]

Newest model Xbox a little better than previous gen but computer still TRUMP

Was still enjoyable even though obsolete parts compared computer… purposely play on potato

I would link gamer tags associated with hacking in game mechanics can deal with them when they occur live ban

[neon jasper]

40 is not boomer

[crystal iron]

lol only 40

Master chief is how old ?

[ember belfry]

it just me or does Steam Infinite have less custom lobbies than Game Pass Infnite?

[frosty condor]

I'm just behind you a bit, so I feel ya

[crystal iron]

He’ll yeh

20yrs on halo and Warcraft lol

[neon jasper]

About how long is the infinite campaign, 8 hrs ?

[crystal iron]

That depends on your skill level on time

I would suggest taking time to read dialogue

[neon jasper]

I plan on that

[crystal iron]

Nice 8hrs good time

[ember belfry]

we're dying of no servers over here

[crystal iron]

Good idea if you didn’t have that option selected and remember report those hackers so in game mechanics aren’t abused

[frosty condor]

No petitions 🙂

[ember belfry]

Ok let me rephrase that

This is a kind reminder to NA Infinite players to change their matchmaking region to "Expanded"

[neon jasper]

If I see you stuttering around the map I'm going to be very upset

[ember belfry]

no one saw me stuttering when I was playing on my US region Game Pass profile

[neon jasper]

Had a few of those yesterday

[ember belfry]

the game has much better networking code than people think

[hearty nova]

I think 49 or 50

Hes getting old

[civic sundial]

He was frozen a bunch of times during his life so that's likely helped

[crystal iron]

Dmr is better than the ma5c

[zealous panther]

Smg better then no smg

Silenced SMG better than SMG

[edgy forum]

Bring back the Halo CE magnum so I can say, “It’s Halo time”

[civic sundial]

Only it we get a coating similar to the skin it has from MCC based off of the Samurai Edge from Resident Evil

[edgy forum]

I wonder what the weekly fresh will be today

[junior lodge]

So is gruntpocalypse sticking around? Thought it was leaving today (kinda glad if it is staying)

[young glen]

I think it's staying around for another week.

[junior lodge]

Wish we could make it stay permanently... possibly just reduced to one playlist though, with a voting feature for difficulty before the match starts.

[hearty nova]

1st mission done

Im guessing halo 5 legendary is just sit back and shoot

[sinful orchid]

i got thru a large portion of the halo infinite story mode.

problem is im in a area where i dont know where to go next. :C

[hearty nova]

Legendary blue team

Here we go

[civic sundial]

It gets annoying near the end but so long as you keep yourself alive, you will be fine

Also make sure you give your squad good weapons to make things easier for you

[exotic bluff]

Guys

Why does my game take so long to load in

[young glen]

Which platform?

[hearty nova]

Well i never did that so far lol

I also see the hunters are a lot harder now lmao

[ruby lake]

no fuel rod cannon 4 infinite

i have been robbed

[civic sundial]

I was genuinely surprised it wasn't in the game when I first played it

[lilac abyss]

Im booting up halo infinite. And I haven't played a single game of multiplayer but I still have a bunch of different armor sets. How did I get them?

[young glen]

The base armour cores are free.

You can unlock further cosmetics for them by completing battle passes, operations, Twitch drops, weekly capstone rewards, and the store.

[gilded island]

I played a game yesterday with someone who could shoot a perimeter wall in a certain spot and random players would drop dead. I have never seen anything like it. What would allow them to do that?

[weak jackal]

Probably cheats, dunno

[young glen]

Cheating or taking advantage of a certain exploit.

[winter wren]

Can i buy the $5 premium pass and complete it for infinite after the event is over?

Or do i have to buy it before it's over to finish it later

[young glen]

Yes.

[coarse dagger]

You can buy it anytime

[thorn sierra]

The only reason i have elite as preferred species in most of the mcc, its because of the funny death sounds

[tulip tusk]

i use elite bc i use covie weapons whenever i can so have to play the part

[exotic bluff]

Windows, through steam

It takes like a couple minutes to get through the loading screen

[zealous dagger]

I just want to clear something up

The mark iv mjolnir didn’t have energy shields but was bulletproof right?

[frosty quartz]

damn i wanna play some halo rn but i dont see any available VCs

[zealous dagger]

Same

[frosty quartz]

you down to play some?

[zealous dagger]

Maybe in a bit

[frosty quartz]

alr just send me dm

[zealous dagger]

Infinite right?

[frosty quartz]

yep

[zealous dagger]

Alr in a bit

[frosty quartz]

i was gonna do halo 3 but i gotta grind rn

[zealous dagger]

Yeah

I’ve been playing through all the halos

[frosty quartz]

nice

[zealous dagger]

Yeah just started ce today

[white birch]

Some models had experimental shield barriers but for the most part it was merely heavily armored

[zealous dagger]

Alr thanks

[frosty quartz]

whoever was in chat with me just now, i fixed my mic

[crystal iron]

The fact I have to play against people in MM who have 9 ping to my 29-30 ping is freaking stupid man. You can tell they are abusing tf out of their ping

[weak jackal]

Abusing as in.. lag switching?

[left snow]

Really?

I wouldn't have thought that 10 vs 30 would make a huge difference. Except maybe at the very highest level of play.

My last few games were at 200+ ping. 🙂

[left snow]

What's lag switching?

[weak jackal]

I don’t know how to do it, but it’s something to do with manipulating your internet to give you massive ping and give you an advantage

[crystal iron]

Bullet reg is effected by ping

[gilded island]

Is there a way to turn off aim assist. It is ruining my shots dragging my reticle in every direction when trying to shoot someone.

[crystal iron]

A lag switch is hardware you can use to give yourself an upper hand in multiplayer games

In the case of halo it might be something like your opponent teleporting in different directions and you trying to hit them while they are still shooting you consistently as if there were no issues

[crystal iron]

Try fighting someone and then an enemy runs in front of them dragging your aimer to the other enemy. It's so stupid

[crystal iron]

I think it is funny there are only 20k people playing Halo Infinite

"Halo Infinite has lost (30D) -129,880"

[slim flint]

on pc

[crystal iron]

It's console too

It's overall not just PC mate

[blissful vortex]

where can you see overall statistics? I know where to see steam but not the rest

its like 4k average on steam

[young glen]

It's likely compiling shaders.

This is done whenever you launch the game for the first time, update your graphics card drivers, and make changes to certain graphical settings.

But any loads after should be much faster.

[signal ivy]

MSFT doesn't provide the console player numbers

[neon jasper]

Where'd you get this information

[frosty condor]

https://tenor.com/view/trust-me-bro-truman-fairfax-believe-me-bro-listen-to-me-man-gif-25607226

[young glen]

Activeplayer.

That website makes up stats.

[zealous panther]

20k for an arena fps actually not bad

[final fulcrum]

Opinions on the death of sarge Johnson in halo 3?

Why dis channel so dead?

[coarse dagger]

Generally only starts getting active from now. Folk have work and school, etc

[zealous panther]

why mc didn't port mcc to the switch at this point?

[coarse dagger]

Massive undertaking to do a project like that, which might not be technically feasible within a reasonable budget (or at all)

[zealous panther]

idk. looks like switch getting a ton of old games rereleased. Something like battlefront collection for example. I don't really believe halo games that demanding or hard to port. I guess this is just wishful thinking

[coarse dagger]

It's absolutely not an easy task - considering the time and work it to get games functional on modern hardware

[blissful vortex]

even just 2-3k average players are enough to get games in a game like this

when games dont last ages and dont need much players

[civic sundial]

Porting a game is much more than just putting it onto another console, they need to make sure it runs well and doesn't have game breaking bugs. And given what happened with MCC nearly 10 years ago, I doubt they'd want a new port releasing in a state like that

[blissful vortex]

what happened to mcc 10 years ago?

[zealous panther]

mcc happened

[coarse dagger]

Not to mention the sheer size of MCC

[blissful vortex]

size shouldnt be an issue anyhow since u choose what games to download

well if you meant it on the users end

[zealous panther]

look, if they put witcher 3 there, no doubt mcc can be ported.

[blissful vortex]

anything can be ported, that doesnt mean that it would be worth it

I doubt that many people would play halo on a switch, anyone can get an xbox 1 for a fraction of the price if they really want to play halo

[coarse dagger]

I refer back to this statement

[civic sundial]

Aye, six games in one package is big, even if they are old games these days

[blissful vortex]

most people that want to play halo mp nowadays are older halo fans still playing

[signal ivy]

porting 6 game engines to switch under one package doesn't seem like the easiest task

[blissful vortex]

at least in my opinion it seems like most people are long timers

[zealous panther]

it's not about just playing. it's playing portable

[signal ivy]

steam deck 🙂

[blissful vortex]

you can play mcc on xloud or steam deck

[signal ivy]

portable windows gaming machines

[analog salmon]

2A campaign doesn't even run at an acceptable performance level on the Xbox One X. According to Xbox it shouldnt even pass QA for an X enhanced title

[signal ivy]

tons of them exist

[blissful vortex]

both are cheaper I think

[zealous panther]

even with how i like steam deck i hardly can say it is portable. and xcloud is... Look, i travel a lot around the world and at this moment sadly switch is probably the best option even if this really hurts me to say this.

[signal ivy]

how can you hardly say the steam deck is portable

that's like it's whole thing lol

[analog salmon]

the deck not the switch :P

[zealous panther]

it is big. for a portable device it is big.

[signal ivy]

that's just one device, there are other options that are slimmer/smaller

[analog salmon]

i think its the biggest you would want a handheld

[blissful vortex]

whats the problem w xloud? its a cheap alternative and it work fine

[zealous panther]

not when you behind the polar circle

[signal ivy]

for travelling it's not ideal with the internet connection requirement

[zealous panther]

like i am rn

[analog salmon]

xcloud isn't great even with a decent WiFi 6 5Ghz connection

i think it will get there but right now it just doesn't feel that good to me

also would help if you had VRR so your screen was refreshing in sync with the stream

[blissful vortex]

I just tried xcloud with wired and its fine like that, cant confirm

for wireless

[analog salmon]

wired should be basically flawless and it isn't. it's behind even Stadia years ago

the tech is just not that good on microsoft's side

its usable if you arent sensitive to frametime stutter pretty much

[blissful vortex]

yeah, its not the best but its also much newer than stadia of geforce now

[signal ivy]

geforce now steaming is great

I've used it a few times and could barely even tell I was streaming a game

[analog salmon]

geforce now pretty much proves that cloud streaming is viable

[signal ivy]

fr

[blissful vortex]

I tried geforce now a while ago, it didnt work at all, massive lag and fps drops even tho I met every requirement, support couldnt help me either

[young glen]

It doesn't work fine for some people.
Anecdotally, xCloud is total trash with stuttering and heavy pixelisation, while Geforce Now, while not playable in any competitive capacity, is usable for SP games.

There a lot of variables in the mix when it comes to cloud streaming. It just ain't there yet for a lot of people.

[analog salmon]

distance from the data centre is always going to be a huge factor

[signal ivy]

there are tons of factors that come into play with game streaming services in general

[blissful vortex]

idk, xclouid worked for me, geforce now didnt, thats my opinion

[analog salmon]

i tried out all 3 which are all the same distance from me (london) and xcloud was just far behind Stadia and GeForce Now

[young glen]

... and that's valid. I had the complete opposite experience, that's all.

[analog salmon]

Stadia and GeForce Now streams were better quality then using Xbox Game Streaming from my Xbox Series X in the same room as me

and Nvidia's GameStream tech is also usable locally with your PC using Moonlight which also outperforms Xbox Game Streaming by a long shot

Moonlight is basically flawless streaming from ur PC locally to another device. You can't even tell its streaming.

[blissful vortex]

fair, not like I really need cloud gaming rn, Im just gonna play halo 5 on it since its not on pc and thats it

[zealous panther]

i had pretty good exp with GeForce Now. Still i just don't use it now

[analog salmon]

its a bit expensive to get priority queue

[blissful vortex]

how much is it

[analog salmon]

£10/month

[blissful vortex]

yeah thats kinda expensive

the only sub Im paying for rn is prime gaming and prime video and for me thats 900 HUF which is like 2 euros lol

[analog salmon]

i'd probably use it if i went away with my laptop for a decent period and had good internet wherever i was

then again i'd probs just take my xbox with me lol

[analog salmon]

same but even then im cancelling it this week lol

[blissful vortex]

ehh, I claim some things I dont use it much but its cheap so idm it

[analog salmon]

i claimed the fallout games

[blissful vortex]

I have those already but Im claiming for some other games

[analog salmon]

but yeah i would probably just leave reoccurring billing on if it was 2 euros here lol

i get it for 5ish euros

[blissful vortex]

most games that I used to claim stopped giving rewards sadly

guild wars 2, warframe, league, they all stopped

[gilded bluff]

Is the re any information about a patch for the achievements unobtainable or discontinued o halo Tmcc chinese version?

[glacial tartan]

I dont remember this being fixed recently - and 343 does not publish any roadmap / future information for MCC.

Basically you have to wait and hope it gets fixed (but dont hold your breath).

[blissful vortex]

Cotana sounds like an uwufied version of Cortana 😭

[civic sundial]

Discord allows you to make polls now?

[blissful vortex]

its a new feature

instead of implementing something useful yk

[drifting tartan]

oops

[jaunty hull]

im laughing 😭

[blissful vortex]

Cotana chann :33

[jaunty hull]

[signal ivy]

unfortunately bot isn't updated to deal with them

we're not allowing them to be posted

[civic sundial]

That's fair

[signal ivy]

it would become way too spammy quickly

[blissful vortex]

why is there a leaver in every single ranked game

its so fun playing 2v4 and 3v4 every game

[white birch]

Because ranked sucks and people realize that as they play.
And they bail to go do something better, presumably, not online.

[humble vine]

All

[ruby knoll]

units

[civic sundial]

Local units

[crystal iron]

Theres a website that has the info

[neon jasper]

Ok....so what's the website lol

[glacial tartan]

They grabbed it from here: https://activeplayer.io/halo-infinite/

[celest heron]

get over 250 kills in grunt ff and can't even get 4500 xp. lame

[zealous dagger]

Wow

Thought there would be more than that

Haven’t checked lately

[crystal iron]

Oh no it is low

[zealous dagger]

Yeah is seen that

I*

[crystal iron]

When 343 stops putting out content and does more to fix their game. The player base will comeback

[zealous dagger]

Yeah

[vale swallow]

Why does the Halo Infinite shield glow take 6 seconds to go away?

[shadow turret]

Because that's the time it takes to recharge?
afaik that's the case

[vale swallow]

The shield hasn't been lost yet, it's just at breaking point. This wasn't the case in Halo 1 and 2.

[shadow turret]

yea ik, no matter the shield level I'm pretty sure that's the recharge time

[civic sundial]

They wanted to make it clearer to other players when someone's shield is low, that's likely all there is to it

[vale swallow]

But why show it out for the world to see?

[regal rock]

In MCC Reach, can you no longer get XP/unlock armor from the campaign? I remember that being a feature in the 360 version at least

[shadow turret]

exactly

[civic sundial]

There's challenges for MCC that earn exp

[shadow turret]

A lot of pros use it I'm pretty sure to tell how many bullets a shield has in it

[civic sundial]

Those challenges can be done in multiple of the campaigns in MCC

[shadow turret]

I can even tell a lot of the time if its 2 or 3 Bandit shots in

[civic sundial]

Not even just pros, it's a useful change on the more casual side too

[shadow turret]

ye

[vale swallow]

Logic makes sense I guess. But, seems like training wheels to me. Doesn't seem like a requirement.

But idk... shields... is fiction 😭 concept.

[regal rock]

At least they're not paid I guess

Even though I also don't really like the unlock tree/battle pass system

Or, at least the tiers themselves, stuff like voice lines

[civic sundial]

Blame that on the people demanding a progression system be added to MCC six years ago

[civic sundial]

Making something clear isn't the same as training wheels

[regal rock]

Tbh, making players unlock stuff in MCC Reach was a weird choice anyways

Especially when they're all unlocked in games like Halo 3

Any chump can use Recon or Hayabusa without putting in the effort smh

[balmy wedge]

I felt that way about all of Halo 3's cosmetics. When the Master Chief Collection was added, I was so disappointed that I didn't have to unlock the cosmetics and skulls.

[regal rock]

Wasn't it all presets at first?

It's been a hot minute since I really spent time in MCC lol

[vale swallow]

It is actually. literally. players can kill without this 6-second shield glow.
Similarly, players can ride a bike without training wheels.

[celest heron]

I don't think the majority of people care about that anymore.

[regal rock]

Pretty sure Recon was pretty much impossible to get after a certain point anyways, so I don't really mind that much

Hayabusa should have been an unlockable though

Weeb armor

[blissful vortex]

is plat 1 good for someone who just finished placements?

[celest heron]

it's around average

[misty vale]

Halo Infinite is not a serious competitive shooter, so really any rank you get is fine as long as you're having fun

[civic sundial]

Originally yes but when they were doing fixes they brought back proper customisation for every game but made it so everything that was there originally was just unlocked since the presets were all unlocked. New stuff (Like the Halo Online armours in Halo 3 and all of Reach's armour) were added to be unlocked

[civic sundial]

Tell me, are you the kind of person who complains about yellow paint in games?

[vale swallow]

This is the end of our argument.

[civic sundial]

I was just trying to have a discussion

[crystal iron]

Don't worry about the rank. Just play to enjoy the game. It isn't worth your mental to worry about the ranks

[blissful vortex]

I'm having fun so not like I'm stressing bout it or anythin

[neon jasper]

I stress and get mad and beat myself up after bs kills

[analog salmon]

its called information. 99% of halo players arent communicating with eachother. if my team mate lowers your shields, I like to know that

[crystal iron]

343 has a lot to fix in their game and they just keep putting out content and ignoring the community

[onyx latch]

I didn't know putting out content was a bad thing now.

Weird that people like Helldivers, in light of that.

[blissful vortex]

what content? you mean the one about the new book?

[stone nimbus]

it's like Team Fortress 2's updates which are only community maps and cosmetics

[onyx latch]

The canon fodder? The one with a battery of fan lore questions getting answered, including a question yours truly asked?

That canon fodder article?

[blissful vortex]

im having fun so far tbh, I havent seen any major problem or cheaters yet

yeah the micros are questionable but the base game is free

[vale swallow]

I could argue that it's too much information, couldn't I? Just like glass wall hacks as an extreme example of this "information" that you so definitively put.

[analog salmon]

in ranked you'd just heavily punish solo players if you dont provide that kind of information

[blissful vortex]

what info are we talking about exactly here?

[analog salmon]

also even stacks probably dont want to spend games calling out how damaged players are constantly

[onyx latch]

Hey Mudila, how did you feel about Reach's shields?

[analog salmon]

there's already more then enough benefit using comms in halo

[vale swallow]

I don't recall, will check next time.

[analog salmon]

90% of the player base being able to make clutch plays using the shield information probably jusitifies it

[blissful vortex]

what are the shields like in reach? I only played one game of reach mp so I dont know much about it

[onyx latch]

Incredibly aggressive. Makes Infinite look positively withoutintel.

[blissful vortex]

ahh, they scream "no shields" when you destroy them? lol

[analog salmon]

infinite just looks damaged constantly, has no subtly to its shield break

reach did it right

you just have to gamble on a player being damaged enough in infinite, cause you really dont know

good visual feedback > hit sounds

[crystal iron]

Hell divers has no competitive scene. It isn't a competitive shooter. You aren't fighting other players just AI. The content push in that game makes more sense

[ruby knoll]

middivers

[crystal iron]

The reason why Hell Divers is doing so well is because people can just run around and shoot things without a worry in the world. I enjoy Hell Divers way too much.

[stone nimbus]

it's like a 3rd person twin-stick shooter

[crystal iron]

Putting out content is a good thing but the way they spend the money from making that content is what is important. I see nothing happening to halo from where the money is being made. No big QOL changes or anything. Yeah the "Network" update is good but it broke other aspects of the game.

[stone nimbus]

with what's been released lately, it doesn't seem like they have the money to do things like new weapons or new dev-made non-Forge maps

i really wanted to enjoy the game but i find it more frustrating than fun
and that's all i can say without echoing everyone who complains about the game

[ruby knoll]

you already are

[blissful vortex]

They still have the same amount of devs tho dont they?

[stone nimbus]

minus the campaign team

[edgy forum]

They should bring back Friendly Fire

[blissful vortex]

wdym?

[stone nimbus]

i think the campaign team at 343 got reduced

[blissful vortex]

are they gonna release any more sp content tho or just move on to the next game?

[stone nimbus]

probably move on

[blissful vortex]

plus thats the campaign team, they could still spare a couple devs from the mp team if they really wanted new weapons

idk, I feel the weapons are nice rn, definitely not another brute shot please

[stone nimbus]

i've just been keeping my fingers crossed for the classic pump-action shotty

good dream, right?

[blissful vortex]

It felt kinda useless to me in mcc tbh

Granted I dont even have as much mcc mp playtime as infinite but still

[stone nimbus]

you don't run around and get kills with the old shotgun; it's a defensive weapon

[ruby knoll]

no thanks

[blissful vortex]

I felt the same about the brute shot yet it gave me kidney stones when using/facing it

[ruby knoll]

camping is bad and weapon design that encourages it is bad

[blissful vortex]

I feel like the part that faces brute shot has no chance to do anything against it if in range

[ruby knoll]

corner campers getting skill issue'd to death by the Bulldog is a blessing

[blissful vortex]

I agree, the few times I played mcc we got spawncamped relatively often

In infinite I didnt feel the same way

[stone nimbus]

true

[blissful vortex]

Also, older halo gunplay just feels kind off weird sometimes tbh, not sure why

I played a bit of h2 yesterday and w the same weapon this enemy was basically instakilling my shields while I needed like twice as many shots to get his

[stone nimbus]

bxr

[blissful vortex]

Not sure if he was lagging or something it just felt weird

[stone nimbus]

h2 (not h2a) still has button combos in mcc

[blissful vortex]

Explain please

[stone nimbus]

i'll try
so "BXR" refers to a button combo on controller, where B=melee, X=reload, R=fire
the reload button can cancel some animations, with "BXR" allowing a player to punch, cancel the melee animation, and shoot

https://www.halopedia.org/Button_combo
i hope this page helps explain it better than i could

[blissful vortex]

Interesting, but I was only referring to guns w what I said, the guys br just simply seemed to do more dmg or idk

[stone nimbus]

because they're likely button comboing allowing them to shoot faster

therefore do more damage

[blissful vortex]

Ahh I thought by what you said it allowed you to cancel melee, I see

[stone nimbus]

yeah it's not just for melee
it's what made h2 comp stand out (for better or worse)

[blissful vortex]

My favs so far seem to be 3,4 and infinite, wish I could play 5 mp cuz that looks cool

[stone nimbus]

i take it you're a pc player

[blissful vortex]

Yeah

I'll play campaign of 5 soon with xcloud but mp with input delay + only 1080p 60fps would be criminal

[stone nimbus]

yikes

[edgy forum]

Where’s the Infinite armor feedback? I noticed something glitchy with the Mark VI armor kit model

[blissful vortex]

Everyones saying the campaign aint good but I enjoyed tons of quote on quote "bad" campaigns so I think I'll like this as well

[stone nimbus]

to that i say have fun

[blissful vortex]

Thanks, will do.

[balmy wedge]

It is worth playing! I think every campaign has something they bring that's interesting.
I think the partner system was cool, though would benefit from being fleshed out, I think the ability to take multiple optional routes in different areas is very fun, the Prometheans aren't that bad to fight (though they nerfed watchers a bit too much), but most of all, it's really cool to see what Infinite decided to expand on from 5. It's the worst campaign in Halo, but far from a bad game.

[young glen]

Naw.

I think it's worth extra grenade spam on points for the exclusion of friendly fire. It gave greedy and entitled players power to screw you over if you took a weapon or vehicle they wanted.

It's in ranked, and I think that's okay.

[edgy forum]

I understand but with the way Helldivers II made FF a silly and goofy friends moment it definitely captures the original Halo gameplay design and I sometimes wish it was there again for the immersion.

I also want the player collision back to be honest

[blissful vortex]

The whole idea of this evil cortana is making me so excited lol

Also, I LOVED 4 which also seemed to be liked less than the original 3

The scattershot knights were very annoying tho and they tanked way too much

[onyx latch]

Oh they're even tankier now

Buuuut they're also slower and less aggressive in 5, they mostly just make you feel dumb for closing with them because they don't even teleport

[blissful vortex]

Are there any additional secrets or something for playing on legendary?

[onyx latch]

If only AI are left to revive you, just cut out the middle man and revert to last checkpoint right away

[blissful vortex]

Wdym middle man?

[onyx latch]

Middle man being the revive system

The revive system was maligned at launch because single player is made worse by it

Like, in co-op it's actually pretty useful, but in single player it sucks

So if all that's left is like, AI characters, just hit last checkpoint instead of waiting for them to die trying to revive you

[blissful vortex]

We are gonna play in coop so that wont be a problem then

Are there any secrets or anything that we only see on legendary?

[onyx latch]

I... I don't think so.

Wait, the legendary ending, I guess

[blissful vortex]

A bit different cutscene?

Like in halo 4 you only see chiefs eyes if you played on legendary I think

Correct me if Im wrong tho

I just simply dont want to play on legendary with controller aim paired with poor resolution and fps, only here for the story with 5 :<

[onyx latch]

Extra I guess

[onyx latch]

It's just showing a Halo ring

[blissful vortex]

How long is the game itself? About as long as the others?

[onyx latch]

IDK tbh

It's been a long time since I played through 5's campaign in earnest

[blissful vortex]

Is it doable in ~6-8 hours on non legendary?

[onyx latch]

Problably, but you miss a lot if you rush.

[blissful vortex]

Can we really miss anything besides terminals tho?

[onyx latch]

A lot of dialogue is co-op only or shows up when you loiter or secret-hunt.

[lilac abyss]

I think Halo infinite brute chieftains are my new least favorite enemy. They're really annoying to fight.

[zealous panther]

Shoot them until they die

[crystal iron]

I have no faith in 343 with the next halo. What I see a lot of game companies doing is going back in time instead of moving forward. Make new maps, stop bringing back old maps, old game modes. Is their imagination so dull that they can’t do that or they really putting.l no effort into the game now. With how infinite was released and how it’s going I’m going to say 0% effort and I’d like to see them prove me different

I lost hope in 343 when they destroyed the franchise with Halo 4. That game was a **** storm and killed all the player base who loved the game

[coarse dagger]

The community are constantly requesting old maps to be added

[zealous panther]

Tell that to a cod. Everyone bash it and still buy it.

[coarse dagger]

Let's keep it constructive please

[zealous panther]

Franchise was destroyed by Reach, because 4 is just a continuation of the reach basically.

[crystal iron]

Even the half ****ed last game bungie made aka Halo Reach was better then what infinite is. If that is the case then bring old maps back. Don’t forge remake them. Bring them back the way they were. I enjoyed Plaza. This Plaza aka “Solitude” is dog meat. I actually went into the files and deleted that map

[coarse dagger]

Also please don't bypass the filter

[crystal iron]

That’s not me passing the filter. It’s my own filter on my phone

[coarse dagger]

It counts as bypassing

[crystal iron]

I could give tips to 343 on how to make the game better but would they really listen? Do they really read what we type and complain about the game?

Like for instance they took out Strongholds on Solitude. Did any of us comp players ask for that? No. They could have just tampered with the spawn system or rearranged the abilities to make it more viable

[coarse dagger]

Yes

If you have constructive feedback to offer, feel free to start a thread in the #1039633978841374720 forum or add it to an existing one

[ashen atlas]

Comp players actually did ask for strongholds to be taken off solitude

[crystal iron]

Not the pro players. There wasn’t even a vote, they just did it

[ashen atlas]

Idk if pro players did. But a good portion of the comp community did ask for that

I’m just correcting the initial statement that no one asked for that

[ruby knoll]

why do pro players need to vote exactly? lol

[crystal iron]

They have always voted on what effects their livelyhood

[ruby knoll]

sucks to suck i guess.

God, there's already so much red tape in development already, i can't imagine needing to wait on a tiny external intrest group to vote before deploying changes

[ashen atlas]

Idk if it necessarily effects pro players as much as the rest of the comp community since they’re getting paid a pretty nice salary

[onyx latch]

I may or may not have some serious personal concerns that are largely irrelevant to how 343i run things regarding how highly they seem to value their comp settings.

Irrelevant because I am a street level rube.

[crystal iron]

Just why isn't there a voting system in general? Why should we have to complain or the community to complain before something happens

[ashen atlas]

How are they gonna know what’s wrong if there is no concerns being voiced

[edgy forum]

Because this ain’t 2007 anymore

[crystal iron]

That's what I am saying. There's no poll or anything on what changes need to be made

Like the player base is dying because the game is failing.

[ashen atlas]

But if they don’t know what’s wrong they’ll have to make a million polls before they come across a subject of concern

[crystal iron]

You can have different polls for different problems or areas

For instance. For the bandit evo. Why do I have 2 reticles? Why can't I just use the smaller reticle without having to play in 4k. Why do I match against a 4 stack as a solo in ranked instead of the 4 stack fighting another 4 stack.

[ruby knoll]

jfc actually one of the worst ideas I've heard, development by poll/committee

[tulip tusk]

what is the forge team cooking

[ruby knoll]

food

[crystal iron]

Very depressing they got rid of their pro team. 343 must have thought they can do it on their own

The one game mode I enjoyed in Halo 5 didn't even comeback which is tragic

[celest heron]

they still have a pro team. don't know where you're getting your info from.

[onyx latch]

Reddit, Youtube, dreams

[gilded island]

Why do people cheat so much in infinite it’s like every 3rd game someone is cheating

[celest heron]

how are they cheating?

[gilded island]

Shooting at walls to insta kill people. Guys teleporting around the map killing everyone when they spawn. People with invincibility, auto aim the list goes on

[celest heron]

must be unlikely. I've yet to encounter any that I'd suspect.

[misty vale]

I have literally never seen any of that

[zealous panther]

Not really. Sorry to say but arena FPS kinda dead genre rn

[crystal iron]

The next halo needs to be campaign only

[zealous panther]

why?

[gray swan]

Why don’t they make lss a rotation playlist, one of the only things they added to the game and they completely abandoned it
