halo-discussion

[spare finch]

I’m actually tired of getting 10 or less kills

[onyx latch]

'Vibe'?

I mean I agree with nefnoj, they're usually pretty spot on with assessments, that's just a weird word to use.

[shadow turret]

I can get like 60k in 15 mins in Firefight

[onyx latch]

Uh... you adding an extra 0 there, buckaroo?

[blissful vortex]

no idea what happened to me but I just went 34-6 in an oddball game

it was such a nice match

[shadow turret]

yes
I can't type rn

I think I was thinking of my score to rank up in CR for some reason

I meant 6k tho

[celest heron]

4k is on the low end. need more kills and multi's to get your score up.

[shadow turret]

sprees mainly, not even multis

less deaths the better
I've had lobbies where I rarely get 'Jaros, and still get lik 5.5k

but I'll have like no deaths

[celest heron]

yes, all of those are good. also the harder difficulty probly gives more as well.

[regal rock]

I think its nostalgia really just relied on “remember the 2nd level from Combat Evolved, what if that was the entire game”

[balmy wedge]

Oh, I'm not even referring to the level design. The cosmetics are incredibly Reach-inspired, the loading tips are largely classic Halo quotes, the smaller weapon pool is reminiscent to me of the older games, there's probably more that I can't think of.

[spare finch]

Because your teammates don’t die at all

Meanwhile matchmaking wants me to suffer by putting me with idiots

[shadow turret]

mine do
Like all the time

[regal rock]

Is this not including the actual reach models that were reused?

[spare finch]

[regal rock]

I think overall Infinite strikes a good balance between whatever 3 and Reach had going on

Everything is still relatively soft and “toy like”

But not as gravel in your teeth as Reach was lol

Not a fan of the AR design here though

[balmy wedge]

Oh I completely agree on both.

[ruby knoll]

reused models
where

[ruby knoll]

halo 3?

[regal rock]

Isn’t that like most of Hero’s of Reach pass and anything for the Mark Vb armor

[ruby knoll]

design != model

those are two different words with different meanings

[regal rock]

Yeah. I’d say Halo 3 was really soft and toy like, maybe as an indirect side effect of graphics not being as good as they were a couple years later even on the same system

Having minimal human faces you look at constantly helped. Sgt Johnson looks weird as hell for most of that game ngl lol

[regal rock]

The weapon pool is giving Halo 3 vibes tbh

Lots of shared weapons, designs and ideas

[spare finch]

My power crashed while playing infinite btb

[rugged quartz]

Halo 3 had a lot of useless weapons

They should have just kept going with what they had with 5. A big sandbox

[blissful vortex]

halo 3 is the most overrated and worst halo mp out there

prove me wrong

the starting weapons are so damn bad it makes the game so unfun, you usually get an ar which shoots mayo past like 10 meters and a useless nerfed magnum

mcc mp is acc so unfun

no chance unless you use a controller

[spare finch]

The campaign is good though

[regal rock]

Skill issue?

AR and BR are a pretty safe combo

And if that fails, there's usually a weapon laying around somewhere that'll probably be better

[blissful vortex]

most games you dont spawn with a br

I played like 3 or 4 games now and all ended with the enemy having 2-3x as much kills as my team and getting permaspawncamped

and an open map having only shotgun, plasma rifle and a singular beam rifle spawn didnt help either

[spare finch]

I won a 1v2 in btb

My analysis of pro movements payed off

[lusty wraith]

Why? Most of the regulars on this discord agree with you. You’re inviting someone to get dogpiled

Halo 3 best MP btw

[blissful vortex]

because 1 to 3 were regarded as generally great games

[spare finch]

I found a strafe that consistently gets me near 4000 applied score

Spamming crouch while moving in circles (works best on player throttle .1)

[regal rock]

Couldn’t think of a sadder existence than that of the contrarian

[spare finch]

True

Thel unfairly getting classified as arbiter

[thorn sierra]

i wonder why mcc's crashes EVERYTIME i wanna play a multiplayer game, same happens with infinite

[celest heron]

you could try posting in #1075989764026675210 with your system details and maybe someone will help you.

[hallow dagger]

Anyone else think it's kinda counterintuitive they're making it harder to unlock free items from operations with less XP from weekly missions so that you can earn SP to buy those said items you missed?

[gray swan]

Every decision they’ve made with this game is like that in the last 6 months, they are just trying to squeeze profits from this game while they can

[hallow dagger]

Sigh. Ok. I guess it's nice I can get stuff I missed. Just more of a grind now to avoid missing more tho

[ancient sun]

I hope a 5 seed scoring variant can be added back to the game sometime, making this medal obtainable again:

[white birch]

I got that before I think

[runic herald]

what is the planet killing bomb called

[coarse dagger]

Space Pickle

[white birch]

I think he means the NOVA

[runic herald]

ok thanks

hey what to NOVA bombs look like

[white birch]

We only have one description from Ghosts of Onyx

[runic herald]

ok

[zealous dagger]

Do you guys think that a coop extraction type mode would be fun?

Like you fight off waves of enemies through levels until extraction

[weak jackal]

What like R6 Extraction?

That would be a pretty hefty game mode to make

[obtuse laurel]

hey is it just me, or does no one use game chat in infinite anymore

[weak jackal]

I think people just don’t really talk to strangers anymore, the most I see is a simple ‘GG’ at the end of firefight matches

And even then, I’ve usually started being the one who says it, and most people don’t reply

[dense stag]

i dont see anyone talk in my games

but that could just be cz im new

[zealous panther]

I must mention that the chat is kinda blending with the interface. I personally just don't see it, or see it accidentally after game when it's over.

[obtuse laurel]

I used to see all that, but idk if my pc is bugged or what cuz I never see it anymore

[blissful vortex]

I think that most people that want to talk to others prefer voice

[obtuse laurel]

yeah typing during a match is hard

[frosty condor]

@river minnow is a pro at typing during a match

[river minnow]

I talk too much

[frosty condor]

He has “he’s one shot” as a hot key after he dies

[river minnow]

ready to be copy and pasted

[dense stag]

damn

[river minnow]

I should actually do that though, my typing is fast but that'd be better

[dense stag]

👀

[paper estuary]

I now have found a new favourite overall in all halo games

DMR in Reach, 4, 5 and Infinite

[zealous panther]

Blasphemy

[paper estuary]

The reason why I dislike the BR is because it’s like a FAMAS

BR = Halo FAMAS

[zealous panther]

Dmr in reach probably the single worst thing happened to halo franchise

[paper estuary]

It has significant improved since first debut

In infinite, the DMR or bandit still is OP

[zealous panther]

Yes this is true. And now dmr is fun. But I will never forget and never forgive

From my perspective bandit is really fun. Evo not so much because how... Basically laser gun without kick

[paper estuary]

Bandit Evo has more ammo

And I often pair up with the standard bandit. So ye. Using it for firefight. It’s good

[zealous panther]

The only game mod I had problems with ammo is firefight

[paper estuary]

I will often resort to the weapons enemy uses to keep ammo in store

The worst weapon overall in the halo franchise

I have to say. Needler

[zealous panther]

Depends on the game.

[blissful vortex]

Ravager

[zealous panther]

Ravager is good support weapon after all the buffs

Just not always good weapon

I would say this electric pistol is useless now. In standard 4v4

And with emp back to the plasma pistol it is just bad overall

[blissful vortex]

I actually love the electric pistol

It shreds shields, I love running pistol + e pistol

[civic sundial]

Your reasoning for disliking the BR is because it looks kinda like a FAMAS? You do know that most the human weapons in the games are inspired by real world designs, right?

[paper estuary]

Because I hate burst weapons actually

I prefer Seni-Autos

[civic sundial]

So why not just say you dislike burst fire in the first place instead

[zealous panther]

Idk. Ttk of this thing is just... Bad.

[blissful vortex]

I usually do e pistol for shields and pistol for hp

[vast flax]

am i the only one who used weapons like the DMR or carbine for most of the campaigns?

[civic sundial]

Pretty much the everyone uses a precision weapon when playing campaign

[vast flax]

i barely used automatic weapons (except for plasma rifle in halo ce)

[spare finch]

For some reason matchmaking likes to cancel itself

[spare finch]

it’s called the disruptor

[magic night]

I believe the official name is actually Space Monkey Taser

[blissful vortex]

Yeah but everyone recognizes electric pistol but maybe someone wont recognize the official name of it

[spare finch]

Someone in firefight used a lagswitch to delay every action so they could get the kills 💀 some people are weird

All you could do basically is move

[radiant sundial]

Jeez

Also how

Also whats wrong with the disruptor, its a good weapon to pick up

[crystal iron]

Does anybody else still get the issue where some menu options just don't load?

[quasi nexus]

Regularly

[quasi nexus]

Yeah I love the electric pistol.

[shadow turret]

Only in gruntpocalypse rly
Shock Rifle is better in normal Firefight, and Disruptor gets outgunned by like 90% of things in PvP

Calcine is better for PvP

[civic sundial]

Calcine Disruptor is just better in general

The only thing that the normal Disruptor has over it is ammo capacity

[shadow turret]

yea
I feel like it can be worse in firefight bc sometimes the shock chain/DOT won't activate properly but its pretty good

[civic sundial]

Aye, which is why it annoys me that I've always been the only person to pick it up in matches I've played

[tulip tusk]

i mostly do pve so i dont really know the purpose of the normal disruptor, it can kill grunts and jackals ok but other stuff you just end up shooting mag after mag. calcine is super powerful

[runic cloud]

Hello everyone! I'm new to the Halo discord - does anyone know the best place to submit suggestions/feedback for 343?

[shadow turret]

#1076337363770417172 I believe
but Panda can correct me if I'm wrong

[frosty condor]

Welcome! Best place is in #1039633978841374720 as 343 typically reads posts there. Don’t expect a response, as they’re the ultimate lurk masters

[runic cloud]

Thanks!

[civic sundial]

It used to have a damage over time effect but it was really inconsistent on the old networking model. That got removed ages ago and it's kinda now just a pistol that deals shock damage

So ok for EMPing vehicles but outshined by everything else, even more so come next week when the Plasma Pistol EMP returns

[spiral citrus]

Finished Halo 2. 3 stars

[frosty condor]

Enjoy

[zealous dagger]

Yeah

[mortal kernel]

Hey how fast is infinite sensitivity on controller compared to Mcc?

[weak jackal]

Then it’d need to be an offshoot game

[zealous dagger]

Yeah

Just thinking it might be a cool game mode

[weak jackal]

It’d certainly be an interesting concept, yeah

[zealous dagger]

For sure

[neon jasper]

Damn how do you guys remember the name of these guns? I just pick up whatever and go lol

[zealous dagger]

I guess we just do

[shadow turret]

casually knows 90% of the cosmetic and map names in Infinite as well

[zealous dagger]

Welp

[shadow turret]

I used to know all but like 3 or 4 of the maps as of S3

[zealous dagger]

Nice

[shadow turret]

and I know all the weapons, and (most) of the variants names too

[zealous dagger]

Yeah same here

[shadow turret]

needless to say I'm a nerd lol

[zealous dagger]

Yeah

[civic sundial]

Be odd to be a Halo fan and not be a nerd to be fair

[neon jasper]

Eh I guess I'm the same way about WoW
I just mainly know the Needler and that's my favorite lol

[zealous dagger]

The needles is a famous one

[shadow turret]

yea that's a well known one

[zealous dagger]

Needler*

[shadow turret]

that and the AR I feel like

[civic sundial]

I still await for my favourite two weapons to return... One day I'll have them back, one day... I miss you Plasma Rifle and SMG

[zealous dagger]

What do you guys feel about the bandit?

[shadow turret]

Hate the normal one, love the EVO

[zealous dagger]

Yessss

Good old halo 2 days

[zealous dagger]

Yeah I like them both tbh but the eco is far better

Evo*

[shadow turret]

I feel like the normal one has horrible HS reg, but maybe its just me

[civic sundial]

I kinda wish the two variants shared more stats, like I believe the Evo fires ever so slightly faster but I prefer the standard's recoil pattern

[shadow turret]

I think the normal one is faster, even tho the EVO feels faster

[civic sundial]

Not even for Halo 2 nostalgia, I'm just big on SMGs in games

[zealous dagger]

Strange

[zealous dagger]

Yes

[civic sundial]

Like, if the SMG did come back, I would want Halo 5's due to how cool the reload animation is

[zealous dagger]

Yeah for sure

[scarlet shuttle]

I just clipped my teammate doing a direct hit in the face of another player with the gravity axe, and we can see the shield breaking but the opponent did not die. Hammer are broken.

I wish we could share clips x)

[civic sundial]

I can (Just ignore me clipping this because I heard the mention of a beam rifle variant from H5)

[zealous dagger]

Wow

[scarlet shuttle]

Is there something we have to do to be able to share clips?

The file selection is greyed out for me

[civic sundial]

I've been here for a long time

To the point they trust me with posting files

[shadow turret]

I thought it smelled of Inheritor in here

[civic sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/the-arbiter-thel-vadam-rtas-vadum-half-jaw-shipmaster-gif-21381357

But also...

[shadow turret]

I'm still a little ways from Inheritor
or a long ways idk

[blissful vortex]

this weeks ultimate challenge color looks SOO awesome

[shadow turret]

don't quite have it yet

I've seen it on a few Spartans tho

[rugged quartz]

Guns are the easy part to remember. Although when I forget a map's name or the name or something I can usually tell you so many details about it but the name. A whole lore lesson while still not remembering the name

[blissful herald]

random opinion: Rig is easily the best competitive map in ranked right now and goes to show how bad all the maps are in infinite. Forbidden is easily the best map ranked has to offer also.

[onyx latch]

https://tenor.com/view/hey-champ-thats-really-interesting-next-time-keep-it-to-yourself-gif-25930013

[celest heron]

I've heard max sense is slower.

[full warren]

ever since I learnt you can just leave game and not alt F4 its so much easier

wow H3 play list, it was me and 2 plat 1 unranked vs 4 onyx players 1500-1600 wtf is this balancing

[cyan canyon]

Playing on MnK, and since the newest update my reticule/character will just spin in circles while not even touching the mouse

Game is legitimately unplayable. when I windows+g to record it, it stops. then generally doesn't start again until I die

inb4 "submit a ticket"

[ruby knoll]

if you don't want to submit a ticket (maybe 10 minutes of work max) I'll assume your issue isn't a huge deal

[fallow oar]

Question for everyone: is there a damn way to join/invite people in/to a game without the *********** Xbox app?

[vague comet]

Menu go to social press their name invite to game if you don’t have them added or vice versa then no as far as I’m aware

[thorn sierra]

SKIRMISHERS???? AGAIN?

holy cow

[hollow grove]

are they just not doing real battle passes anymore

[young glen]

They ended seasons with the conclusion of season 5, yeah. Now they release an Operation every 4-6 weeks.

[hollow grove]

didnt know that lol, but good to know

[regal rock]

Hmm yummy XP boosts and emblems

Sometimes you’ll get a weapon skin as a treat

Maybe some armor paint and a helmet

[cyan canyon]

lol the debugging for this game is such a joke

it literally makes the game unplayable but whatever

i'll just uninstall it for now

[ruby knoll]

works on my machine

[tulip tusk]

check for debris near your mouse sensor. may be a hair or etc.

clean with q tip

[spare finch]

there needs to be more matchmaking options for btb

instead of just "hit play and wait"

[thorn sierra]

I was playing halo 3 jenga wall in mcc and when i died my spartan started spinning and rotating in a way it looked like it had a seizure

[zealous dagger]

Interesting

[spare finch]

How do tryhards go unpunished for being overall unfair

It isn’t fun when there’s a group of 5 enemies picking on one person and repeating fir the entire team

[white birch]

Unenforcsble

[north stag]

Corrosion as a map is kinda useless holy crap

[sly yew]

I kind of want to watch the halo show just to spite myself and see how bad it is. I have played halo ce-3 and am at the first contact with the covenant in the fall of reach. do I need to read the entire book and play anything related to forerunners to understand how bad it is or will I be fine where I am at?

btw, halo 3 looks great on a crt

[white birch]

You should read all the lore anyway just so you can get a better understanding of the series.
You are actively harming your enjoyment by not undrestanding it.

[sly yew]

what enjoyment will there be gained when the flood look wrong?

also, I do not plan to read any if the forerunner novels at all at the current moment at least

[white birch]

Then you are a fool

[sly yew]

? the show has like, some forerunner things afaik and uses info from fall of reach to halo 2 I think, so idk

there's an arbiter or smth there. his name, to me, is hardy's

[white birch]

Not the show. Ignore the show. The show isnt important.
You need to read the existing material, especially Fall of Reach, First Strike, Ghosts of Onyx and Contact Harvest, and then play ODST, 4, 5 and Infinite.

[onyx latch]

Having a much more positive mindset about it instead of measuring it under the dim light of nostalgia would help too.

[white birch]

Then you need to catch up on the rest of the books including the Forerunner trilogy so you actually understand why the Flood in the show work as they do.
Despite the complaints they do not, in fact, contradict canon yet.

Also that too, yes.

Also the books are just...really good. Period.

[onyx latch]

The Mona Lisa story also does kinda explain the flood the same way (Madness from injury, then zombie, then weird squishy game monsters is a viable flood infection path)

[white birch]

The Flood are multi-variable.
Infinitely mutable and adaptable. Its part of what makes them so dangerous. They don't HAVE a set form or pattern of combat.
They can overcome whatevers put against them, sometimes nearly instantly.

[sly yew]

tbh though, I was planning to play odst soon anyways. the design of the arnor is my main reason why...they look so cool...

[white birch]

If you go by design alone your missing the point.

[sly yew]

idk if it is nostalgia if I completed these 3 games in a span of 2 months

? I just meant that them looking cool in 3 made me want to play odst

[white birch]

Their looks are the least interesting thing about them.

[sly yew]

that's subjective, but fair ig

[potent portal]

their capacity to elect to increase or decrease entropy correlates with their symbolization as the God material

[glad stump]

is johnson being alive post combat evolved a plothole actually explained with the excuse of it being funny?

this mf blew up I swear

[civic sundial]

The legendary cutscene showing Johnson hugging an Elite is non-canon, but we do know he made it off the ring via Pelican thanks to Halo First Strike

[zealous panther]

It's classified

[gray swan]

Yea the only non canon moment in the games in ce legendary ending

They probably didn’t expect the games to be so huge

[serene badger]

Heh yea, that scene was legendary.

[ruby knoll]

me when my game has a multimillion dollar ad campaign

[glad stump]

how did he escape the flood? he got jumped during the first cutscene with them

like quite literally knee deep in flood

[civic sundial]

He didn't taste so good is what he says

But in reality he's just that good of a fighter that he was able to get out

Though Halsey speculated that he might be immune based on Boren's Syndrome

Anyone got any input/resources for trying to fix ping? Used to get 12 ping back in March but now can’t get under 60 per game, in in California so I’ve assumed I’ve been on a west coast server but it has been very difficult lately

It was never an issue pre networking fix

[viral jetty]

Will MCC get full support for crossplay across all campaigns?
Will MCC get mod support on Xbox?

[celest heron]

unknown, but updates for mcc have become rare nowadays so that's not a good sign.

[spare finch]

I’m gonna try out a way to improve kd in btb (I credit genesisrider for giving me this information, that’s prob how he got hero rank)

[grand loom]

Good evening everyone, I need a professional legendary runner's help

I just started CE on legendary and its a NIGHTMARE

I'm also playing Reach on legendary too and thats a breeze compared to this

I am literally stuck at the Stay with the survivors, protect, wait for evac at the start of the game

Id send a screenshot to know where exactly but you know... you cant in here

Im at the thing shooting plasma to the sky, stuck at 1 health checkpoint. Do I have to kill enemies or can I just stall and evac will eventually arrive?

literally at my like 50th try atm

So I literally just waited and it kinda worked

now after I wrote all this

I aint deleting all that

this game 💀

[spare finch]

The banshees?

Hot take: refuge is worse than breaker

[low blaze]

The armor rarity system in infinite seems completely random

There will be items in the battlepass that have a lower rarity than items before it

[onyx latch]

K

[neon jasper]

Theyve gotta be working on a new game or DLC it just seems like way to long has gone by

[topaz pier]

I just started halo 3 odst it is so good

[radiant sundial]

Random question, why is master chiefs mark 6 gen 3 the only armor in halo infinite with good treads on the soles, because the rest of them are just flat plates that dont lokk like they provide any grip whatsoever on anything

[neon jasper]

picked up games pass and Im looking for the games to play in order, is the MCC best way to do that?

i have it on xbox 1 but I cant tell you the last time I played controller lol

[weak jackal]

Yeah MCC would be the most convenient way, seeing as you have all the mainline games on it +ODST and Reach

[ruby knoll]

bird

[finite prawn]

wdym

[celest heron]

were you talking about the mission Halo?

[rough cove]

I wonder when rendezvous map will be added to regular firefight koth and not just gruntpocalypse

[finite prawn]

i think so. wait for evac

but theres 3 wait for evac sections

he didnt specify enough lol

[finite prawn]

i think it was the actual start of the level. because if you wait long enough the enemies will just despawn

bro still has 3 different areas to evacuate 💀💀💀

[river minnow]

is he on about the second mission

[neon jasper]

i got 2 mor levels on the winter update, is there any other season worth looking into?

[celest heron]

likely done by now cause it was over 3 hours ago

[leaden forge]

@fair zealot thought you would have a team

[neon jasper]

they shouldnt penlize people who kill their teammates especially if those teammates sit in place and spin

[zealous dagger]

Does anyone know what the song is called in the menus of infinite?

[worthy owl]

Desynchronized

[celest heron]

nah, give purposeful betrayers harsher penalties excluding killing afk's.

[weak jackal]

Team Killing does nothing but waste your teams’s time, you could be out there helping but you choose to kill your teammates.

[glad stump]

why didn't the pillar of autumn just land

[crystal iron]

In what, CE?

Keyes pretty much crash landed the Pillar of Autumn on the ring, so technically it did land.

Also in Halo Reach the Pillar of Autumn is docked in the ship breaking yard

[civic sundial]

In CE, it was damaged enough that it couldn't land without crashing

[glad stump]

i could of landed it

[civic sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-rebels-darth-maul-no-maul-star-wars-gif-17336122

Keyes got too cocky

[twin crag]

Rig is a fun map in ranked

[analog salmon]

its good but i keep falling off lol

i hope the original forge map has colour so callouts are easier to learn

[twin crag]

Yea that one was easier for callouts

Making this one all grey was forger choice

[analog salmon]

i dont mind it, i think its a nice looking map

i mean there's apparently two more forge maps coming and one is an original map

remakes are always going to be tricky with callouts unless you copy the asthetic 1:1

[forest smelt]

Pleased that you don’t lose ranked points now when someone leaves the team and you get beat 😅

[formal kettle]

Hey guys I know everyone is familiar with the Halo franchise. I have a new idea to share. What if instead of the old ranked matches for the matchmaking playlist. I add in 2 different playlists that can convince the casual players and competitive players at the same time. And these 2 playlists are the Legendary playlist and the Laso(legendary all skulls on) playlist. In these 2 categories you can play 4 games while adjusting to the difficulty set in a standard. For legendary you can add 1 more skulls and for Laso you have to play with all skulls activated. Let me know what you think of this Idea and gameplay?

[civic sundial]

For PvP?

I don't want to be stuck in LASO Slayer at all

I like knowing how much ammo I have in PvP

[formal kettle]

Or PVE. Whichever suits you best.

[spare finch]

I hate how the fireteam info during matchmaking is inaccurate about the gametype. I matchmade into btb and it said stockpile, and guess what... it was slayer

big team slayer should just be a separate mode because it ruins my kdr

[spare finch]

big team objectives should be one mode while big team slayer is another

[formal kettle]

I forgot to add the 4 games on the list, Legendary playlist; there is Big team slayer, Capture the flag, King of the hill and Headhunter. As for Laso playlist; there can be a 15 minute timer where each and every minute that goes down there is 1 skull added to increase the difficulty and the last for example in the last minute would be an iron skull.

[civic sundial]

How would Iron work in PvP? The match resets every time someone dies?

Because that'd be horrible to play

[formal kettle]

Or better yet the player is gone until the team wins. Having difficulty can be a thing that competitive play can improve people's hand eye coordination. And as for the legendary playlist you have the option to activate 1 or more skulls for difficulty. I'm passionate about halo and ever since firefight was not added to the game halo infinite. I can understand why gameplay has to change and become innovative. To me the same old ranked matches are about XP and KD and whatnot. But, I do like your insight on PVP and in those 2 categories I added I want more playable factions or races.

[civic sundial]

Would the skulls active be shared for every player or different?

And we have a version of Firefight in Infinite, it's just not traditional Firefight as that doesn't work that well as a matchmade mode, previous games have attempted to make variants that work but with mixed results

[formal kettle]

For example, you don't see Jackals, elites or brutes, hunters, Promethean knight and soldiers, grunts, and unsc marines. I want at least 8 more playable factions into the 2 categories. That way I can play as a grunt, use the grunt funeral skull and make a massive amount of explosions. And as for the skulls it can be shared to every player. And I do love the activation of skulls from the campaign. And like I said I'm passionate about Halo.

[civic sundial]

Repeating that you're passionate about Halo isn't a point

And you still haven't explained how skulls would work in PvP for your idea

And I highly doubt we'll be getting playable Grunts in a standard FPS Halo game, wouldn't be fun to play at all

[formal kettle]

I already explained them. For the legendary playlist 1 or more skulls could be added to the game to increase the difficulty. That's 1 game down. 2. The Laso playlist is for a 15 minute countdown for each and every skull activated. I understand your thoughts on the multiplayer. But if you read my idea from above the listed games you would understand.

[civic sundial]

Again, are the skulls shared across all players in the match or randomised?

[formal kettle]

The players share the same amount of skulls in the Laso playlist. As for the legendary playlist the players have the option to activate them before the start of the game. It's not randomized. It's the first skull being the last skull for instance grunt funeral skull and the last skull being the first skull being the iron skull. It's not randomized

I know this is hard for you to understand but the 15 minute countdown is for Laso.

[ruby lake]

i think im getting better in halo again

[spare finch]

what's the best long-ranged strategy for btb

btw i'm actually kinda good with the sniper when enemies don't see me

[civic sundial]

Do all the players have to agree on a set of skulls or is it individual? So I have Bandanna and someone else can pick Mythic?

[civic sundial]

Be patient and wait for clear shots, don't get aggressive with sniper rounds as that could give your location away. Move often. If possible have someone to watch your back

[formal kettle]

I say it's individual for the player to choose the skull in the legendary playlist. As for the Laso playlist it's kind of a forced perspective. Where all players are given a countdown to all skulls being activated.

[civic sundial]

So everyone is gonna be picking the skull that gives you infinite ammo because there's no reason not to in your proposed rework of PvP

Someone's gonna be camping with the rocket launcher and racking up kills quickly

Someone will be sat in a hard to reach spot using the sniper the entire match

[formal kettle]

Or we could take away the infinite ammo skull and make it fair for the players. For example if I want to play as a grunt and get ran over by a warthog. You can make 2x the amount of explosions. I like the idea of having to pick and choose. But if you take away the option of the ability to increase the difficulty it's not as fair. I understand what you mean it's not fair to have infinite ammo but when people play the Laso playlist. Everyone is blind as the skull is activated. In that way nobody can aim right.

[civic sundial]

Did you miss the part where I said playing as a Grunt wouldn't be fun at all?

[formal kettle]

Again are you the developer of Halo? Shouldn't new ideas be the way of innovation? Look I understand that you don't want the 2 playlists but every new game should have a new challenge. Without challenges how do we evolve from Combat evolved. Thanks for your insight, you are not up for the challenge as many people are thinking it's halo infinite and there has to be infinite possibilities. Lol keep saying grunts aren't fun at all.

[civic sundial]

I'm saying that playing as a Grunt in a traditional Halo wouldn't be fun

[radiant sundial]

What is happening

[civic sundial]

Everyone else would be picking Spartans as they have shields and don't go down to a single shot

And trying to make it so matchmaking uses the skulls for campaign would mess with the balanced starts

[white birch]

Playing as a Grunt sounds like a nightmare.

[civic sundial]

It would be

[radiant sundial]

Yes it does, considering that besides jackals, they have the least health

[white birch]

Also, did someone seriously say "you cant aim using the blind skull"
Did...he not know about the tape trick?

[civic sundial]

At least with Elites, they are somewhat equivalent to Spartans, so that's why we got them (As well as Halo 2's story requiring them to be playable)

[radiant sundial]

Even in laso, if you sneeze on one it dies

[white birch]

Headshots rule all.

[civic sundial]

Indeed

[white birch]

Playing a Grunt would probably be like being in a SWAT lobby with an Onyx ranked player.

[radiant sundial]

You dont even need tape, just know where your reticle is on yohr screen lol

[ruby lake]

someone did not use the x y graph smh

[radiant sundial]

Yerp

[white birch]

Passion overrode common sense and gameplay balance for this one methinks.

[radiant sundial]

Quite possibly

[formal kettle]

My goodness, everyone in this discussion is so hilarious. I can't even think of a better Halo than halo infinite multiplayer and campaign.

[civic sundial]

Aye. Like, I am all for new ideas, but something like this wouldn't work in a standard Halo game. It's getting closer to hero shooter, which isn't what Halo is

And like, at this point, I don't think there's any reason to try and rework it so much

[radiant sundial]

Alright, lemme put it like this, as a grunt, even as a grunt bouncer, you are the equivalent of a cardboard box, versus a spartan or elite, which is a person holding an rpg-7, i wonder whats winning that fight

[blissful vortex]

When are the updates usually?

[white birch]

Tuesdays.

[radiant sundial]

Which updates

[blissful vortex]

I mean what hour usually

[white birch]

11am PST right?

[radiant sundial]

Idk, its supposedly 2pm est time but my friend had it reset before that once

[formal kettle]

Well I don't mean to take away the fun in your game but, at least playing as everyone in the game would be fun in my opinion. Enjoy the finite resources in halo infinite.

[civic sundial]

And you would know that little Timmy is having fun being killed over and over as a Grunt, how?

[white birch]

Balance never came into the equation.

[shadow turret]

its usually 1 PM EST on Tuesdays for updates I think @blissful vortex

[formal kettle]

Again like I said you're entitled to your opinion. And I'm going to send the word to Microsoft for my great opportunity. And at least it's a fun game in my opinion.

[white birch]

Be ready for literally nothing to come back because your a random fan among a sea of millions.
You will not the first to approach them with an idea thats unimplementable.
You will presumably not be the last.

Im actually not sure how you can contact them that wont just instantly be shredded or spamfiltered.

[civic sundial]

If it was a DnD inspired Halo roleplaying game, having all the different species be playable would be much more viable

Which, side note, someone make that DnD campaign

[formal kettle]

You do you and I'm not going to sink into these negativities. And hopefully if 343 is out of Ideas. Well my idea will one day come in handy.

[grave ether]

If grunts are ever playable, imo it needs to be a very specific game mode. Preferably something silly and insane. Like Grunt Soccer

[blissful vortex]

if they would use the resources they used for playable grunts that would be even better imo

[blissful vortex]

cool, thanks

[shadow turret]

np

[shadow turret]

Griffball with grunts

[civic sundial]

Gruntball

[spare finch]

just had a horrible round because of a spawnsniper

[civic sundial]

If you are going to suggest ideas in the games industry, you need to also accept that you are going to have people breaking down the pros and cons of those ideas

[spare finch]

1 kill 17 deaths

[grave ether]

There's a lot of home brewed stuff out there already you might be interested in searching up

[civic sundial]

[grave ether]

It do be like that sometimes

[formal kettle]

Thanks for the tip anymore you'd like to add?

[grave ether]

That there's nothing wrong with that kind of discussion

[civic sundial]

Aye, like, if someone wasn't there to break down my ideas back at uni, all my projects would've been horrible

Also it's important to remember that just because an idea sounds cool, doesn't always mean it's possible, whether that be due to technology limitations, budget or time

[grave ether]

If anything it can help you find ways to make it work and be a viable option even if it's in a completely different way than initially brought up

[civic sundial]

Indeed

Like, former devs who have worked on Halo talked about how they attempted to add grapple hooks in the past, as an example

[formal kettle]

That's understandable, and the grapple hook was kind of a knock off to the grapple beam in the Metroid series. I thought everyone hated grapple hook more than jetpacks from Halo Guardians.

[civic sundial]

The grapple beam is just a grapple hook that glows and isn't the only example outside of Halo. I haven't heard anyone hating the grapple hook in Halo and Halo 5 didn't have the player using jet packs

[formal kettle]

Let me try to understand again. In the multiplayer of Halo guardians I thought everyone had jet packs.

Or was I thinking of boosts.

[signal ivy]

are you talking about thruster packs?

[formal kettle]

Yes thank you.

From what I've seen in the past halo games. Doom sets the Standard of first person shooters, and Halo got better with split screen and every shooter game after that wanted to be better than Halo or at least have been influenced by halo to make similar play types.

[thorn sierra]

I joined a custom game in h3 in the mcc, and everyone was talking on the chat about how good would elites cook food

[civic sundial]

Halo was the game that set the standard of what a console shooter can be back in 2001, it wasn't known for having splitscreen (Though obviously that was a feature of the game)

[civic sundial]

Well we know of a feast that Arbiter had right after Halo 5 to celebrate meeting Chief again. It was basically a BBQ

Or are you asking how an Elite would taste?

[thorn sierra]

No

[formal kettle]

Halo isn't the same after cutting split screen play, and adding an RPG open world into the campaign. I just want a different halo but in different standards. Halo can be halo but have more playable characters. Like every shooter like borderlands, Call of duty, fallout and you name it any shooting game that meets the modern standards. I understand Spartans are the main playable characters. But, it's been 12 years since halo 4 that elites weren't playable. To my knowledge it is only in the MCC collection.

[civic sundial]

Infinite's campaign isn't really an RPG. Fallout is

[formal kettle]

Ok if halo infinite is not an RPG why do I have to level up to kill a high ranked elite or brute. And why do I have to level up my perks.

[grave ether]

That doesn't make it an RPG

You aren't building a character, roleplaying that character, or making decisions.
It's just upgrades you can make to make it easier for yourself

[civic sundial]

You don't really need to upgrade your equipment to beat Infinite, it just makes things easier when you're using a grapple hook that can stun enemies and a drop shield that makes everything passing through it deal shock damage

Like, pf all the equipment, I would argue the grapple is the one you should prioritise upgrading last

[formal kettle]

Could you two beat the game on legendary without using skill points ? And please don't dodge the question. It's a yes or no. I find it helpful if it's a yes or no.

[signal ivy]

yes

[formal kettle]

Even if it's lvl 1?

[signal ivy]

yes

[civic sundial]

Definitely yes

[formal kettle]

You either have to have either fast hands or good strategy. But I'm not going to invest into halo knowing well that it's an RPG. Who doesn't read skill points and not know it's not an RPG. Are you serious. I'm seeing red even though both of you explained to me the apple is red.

[signal ivy]

so any game where you upgrade anything you use is an RPG?

[civic sundial]

Does that make Hi-Fi Rush an RPG?

Or Halo Wars?

Because neither of those are RPGs

Not to mention not all RPGs use the traditional skill point system, Pokémon is an RPG but you don't assign skill points like you would in Fallout to your Pokémon

[grave ether]

Considering I didn't know about the upgrades and changing equipment till about half way through, yes.

Even so, that's not an RPG

[civic sundial]

That's what happened to me in Dishonored 2, didn't know how to upgrade gear until the final mission

[formal kettle]

Who is the highest ranking brute? Escharum, how do you get to him? You can't speed run the game. Every boss has to be defeated before him. I could be wrong correct me by any means show me a video on a speedrun on legendary.

[civic sundial]

You can speed run the game

[signal ivy]

it's just the story

you don't need to upgrade equipment to progress through the story

[grave ether]

So Spider-man isn't an RPG and it's got more RPG elements than infinite does

[radiant sundial]

Atriox, and not true, only a certain few bosses are actually nessecary to beat, all the power weapon bosses are optional

[civic sundial]

Like, even without glitching, you can reach the Escharum fight without upgrading anything

[signal ivy]

you can go on youtube and look up Infinite speedruns

[civic sundial]

There's a whole category dedicated to not upgrading equipment if I recall

[formal kettle]

I like to see you try it yourself and tell me how to do it. I don't believe you when fighting escharum without fighting all bosses. I'm sorry guys. But at the end of the day I'm you'll prove me right that halo is an RPG.

[signal ivy]

lol

[civic sundial]

I do enjoy a challenge

[grave ether]

You could say Halo Infinite has RPG like elements commonly found in many full RPG games. But it's 100% not an RPG

[signal ivy]

I don't know what fighting all bosses has to do with it being an RPG

[civic sundial]

Like, I have beaten Infinite without going for all HVTs and skill points before. Doing it with no upgraded equipment would be fun

[grave ether]

Please give us YOUR definition of RPG because it doesn't seem to match what the majority consensus agrees to of what makes a game categorize as an RPG.

[formal kettle]

Ok boss if you say so. I need video evidence that if you can get to escharum. In a speedrun. But the last speed run I found was 11 hours.

[ruby lake]

i feel like teambased social gamemodes are rigged

[grave ether]

Unless you're just trolling. Then troll is fun troll lol

[signal ivy]

I feel like it has to be

[civic sundial]

Infinite speedruns are definitely not that slow

[radiant sundial]

Alright lets clarify something, what bosses are you talking about?

[finite prawn]

infinite speedruns are literally sub 1 hours

[civic sundial]

Sub 30 minutes even

[radiant sundial]

I think bro got confused with 100%ing the campaign and speedrunning the mainline story

[finite prawn]

💀

[formal kettle]

I asked if anyone can get to escharum. But my point is no one can. Show me the evidence of a video and I'll write a 200 word essay off an apology. Lol

[signal ivy]

...

[radiant sundial]

My guy...

[signal ivy]

lol anyway back to fallout. We're just going in circles

[radiant sundial]

Look up ANY halo infinite campaign playthrough on youtube

[ruby lake]

anyways

godzilla

[grave ether]

I thought your point was that it's an RPG

[civic sundial]

I hate that I am now actually considering playing through Infinite without getting skill points just to prove it can be done

[civic sundial]

I hear they have a new bed

[grave ether]

YouTube it first to find it and save you the potential pain

I'm sure someone's already done it

[radiant sundial]

^

[civic sundial]

I'm unemployed and need stuff to do while I'm searching for a new job, the pain will make me feel something

[grave ether]

Unless the argument here means it HAS to be done by you and no one else for his argument to be proven

[signal ivy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuD3aF22K48

[civic sundial]

That and I beat RE4make on professional S+ first try

[finite prawn]

dont waste ur timr proving the obvious to him

[ruby lake]

a godzilla bed?

Where.

[radiant sundial]

Dang bro is purple

[formal kettle]

Is this the speedrun argument? If this is evidence of an actual attempt at an speedrun? I'll consider being in the wrong and apologize.

[finite prawn]

bro just discovered google

[signal ivy]

what does speedruns have to do with you saying it's an RPG?

I'm so confused

[ruby lake]

bro just discovered evidence

[civic sundial]

Yeah, that needs answering

[radiant sundial]

It doesnt have to be a speedrun to prove that its possible to do lmao

[finite prawn]

he is just lost 😭

[civic sundial]

I just remember seeing Godzilla sleeping in the colosseum on Twitter

[ruby lake]

bro tripped and fell down the stairs

[civic sundial]

Also, as an example of a sub 30 minutes run https://youtu.be/Wgg8GozgiKM?si=zg60Y1o5T6XnU6gW

[radiant sundial]

Fr, bro has two points and no one knows which one hes on anymore

He might aswell be a circle now

[ruby lake]

he switched sides faster than italy smh

[signal ivy]

I dont' think they do either tbh

[civic sundial]

Like some kind of Halo?

[ruby lake]

😭

[radiant sundial]

Yeah, but it doesnt even have a galaxy ending function

[ruby lake]

and he went silent

[civic sundial]

Ah, so like the Broken Circle

[civic sundial]

Like the Cartographer?

[ruby lake]

yep

[radiant sundial]

Lmao

[grave ether]

I don't know. Every time I ask him a question like this he ignores me

[ruby lake]

i think hes furiously typing a paragraph now

[radiant sundial]

Probably

[ruby lake]

"grr...ill show them...ill show them all!"

[civic sundial]

Ask them about playable Grunts again

[signal ivy]

or maybe that 200 word apology

[radiant sundial]

I mean he might be making that 200 word apology essay he promised

[ruby lake]

LOL

[radiant sundial]

Same thoughts lmao

[ruby lake]

bro is gonna act like in a apology video for youtube

"hey giys....im sorry for wut i did........ i woont do it again...i promis.."

[grave ether]

[deep sigh]

[blissful vortex]

corrosion is so damn boring bruh

and I get it every second game 🙃

[ruby lake]

undercooked map btw

[grave ether]

BTW, I went to game pass and sorted games by RPG. Halo infinite isn't on that list.

[radiant sundial]

[ruby lake]

apparently halo is final fantasy now

[civic sundial]

What is this? Datto apologising to the Destiny community for vault cleaning?

[ruby lake]

impossible....

[formal kettle]

Ok let me explain it and don't fall asleep this time. I asked for an evidence that escharum can be defeated without beating all the bosses. And I claimed that no speedrun can be attempted at an RPG like halo. Well as to the 1st video evidence there is an 8 hour play with legendary without perks. And the 2nd video is a 25 minute speedrun. And I'm confused as to what I said to you all on this. The great amount of confusion as to what I said was can a legendary speedrun be attempted on a campaign. And as to the 2nd video was shown to me. I'll come up with a qualified apology after reviewing the evidence. Please don't interrupt my due process please.

[signal ivy]

too late, fell asleep

[ruby lake]

huh

[grave ether]

There really isn't a need

We don't need an apology

[ruby lake]

im sorry i cant read english

[civic sundial]

I'm neurodivergent and suffer from attention loss

[ruby lake]

my attention span is 9 picoseconfs

[civic sundial]

Ok, that's better than mine has been as of late

[finite prawn]

the first video was proof you dont need to upgrade like in an actual rpg

[civic sundial]

Like, I am just Sherlock Holmes in the second RDJ film, desperately looking for something to do

[ruby lake]

upgrades are optional

fight like a man

[civic sundial]

My mind rebels in stagnation and all that

[formal kettle]

https://youtu.be/FWAwUuF5k7s?si=PsBPYglYZvVGPFQ7

An augmented enhanced military program trained man!

[ruby lake]

i wanna be able to lift up something really heavy

like a truck

[radiant sundial]

What is this?

[civic sundial]

It's a speedrun slower than the one I posted earlier

[radiant sundial]

;'-'

[formal kettle]

As to the apology as the evidence stands. I'll give everyone a qualified apology. I forgot to look at YouTube for a legendary speedrun as my argument stands. I also thought Halo was an RPG and everyone proved me wrong in doing so. As my attempt to confuse everyone into thinking a boss like escharum can't be reached without beating all bosses and was wrong in doing so. And for that I apologize to never again bring confusion as to what I brought up. I wanted to be very clear in showing off a challenge as to what it can bring for the audience. And that challenge has been done. I take full responsibility for my actions as to what I've said that halo was an RPG and I was so arrogant as to what I said was not true. And for that I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I'll reflect on my arrogance and next time review the evidence as it stands. I'll take time and reflect on my past actions and I'll make a solemn promise to never challenge anyone's actions as to what was brought up. Sincerely Yonis.

[civic sundial]

I just realised I had a gif that would've been useful half an hour ago

[radiant sundial]

Thank you for your apology

[signal ivy]

you are seven words short

[river minnow]

oh was he supposed to hit 200 words lol

[signal ivy]

yep

[river minnow]

smh yonis

[civic sundial]

Guess that's those marks lost then

[magic night]

We need another apology

[ruby lake]

waiter waiter! more apologies please!

[formal kettle]

We'll I'll take the time to reflect if you need an apology that hits 200 words I'll need more time if you can give me 24 hours.

[signal ivy]

deal

[magic night]

I'll check back in 24 hours from when you sent that last message for a new apology

[analog salmon]

Not sure if my game is just loading really slowly or it decided to recompile textures…

“compiling textures” message would be so nice

[analog salmon]

Probably unpopular opinion but new maps shouldn’t have higher weighting AND a 24/7 playlist

I’m only playing social to warm up and I’m sick of corrosion

Matches are so lopsided and half of one team usually quits

[zealous panther]

I hate corrosion. I don't like it in any way

[zealous dagger]

Okay

[white birch]

Im pretty sure thats Halo Eternal, a fan-made RPG game.

Also; Laughs at Destiny fans
And this is why I bailed from that series AGES ago. It was giving me clutter anxiety.

[analog salmon]

Ive never understood halo having social and competitive maps

If a map snowballs, it’s bad in both

[vale swallow]

terrible map

[old vigil]

Can someone explain to me why firefight is glitching out

For like a week gruntpocalypse started showing up as firefight

And I wanna play regular firefight not gruntpocalypse but whenever I jump into regular firefight it loads into gruntpocalypse

And it’s played regular firefight like twice for me since this glitch

[analog salmon]

It’s not a glitch it’s just a % chance of either

Gruntpoclypse should just be the normal mode and regular be heroic

Like MCC, not sure why they changed the strategy

I guess cause maybe there’s demand for normal regular firefight but idk

I feel like if you just wanna easier challenge, fighting only grunts is that

[celest heron]

likely just a weighting issue on whether you'll get it or not.

[analog salmon]

I’m just gonna wait until they make a regular firefight playlist again

Probs with the match composer

[river minnow]

I guess that low grav map is an example of a social map but not a ranked map

but I would mostly agree

[old vigil]

Wait

That’s really annoying then because I keep getting gruntpocalypse and I really don’t wanna play it

[old vigil]

Didn’t work that way for me

[analog salmon]

I means that’s how I think it should be

[analog salmon]

Me neither bro

[sly yew]

does halo 3 odst have an alt ending? I heard that you get it if you obtain all audio files

[analog salmon]

All you can do is not play it so they see engagement drop and then bring back regular firefight only mode

[analog salmon]

Yup

Well it’s more like an extended ending lol

And it’s not related to the story in the audio logs

[sly yew]

okay, ty. nothing online was explaining it. also, are the audio logs able to be missed and never retrieved?

[analog salmon]

I don’t think so

[sly yew]

ah, ty

[old vigil]

There’s a secret with the audio logs that I forgor

[ivory sun]

not an alternate ending but an alternate course of events

if you get all the audio logs then the mission Data Hives becomes different. usually the police officer gets killed by drones in normal runs, but if you get all audio logs he survives and opens a door to a cryo room where the dead body of a character mentioned in the audio logs is, the the policeman turns aggressive and you have to kill it, the rest of the misson is normal, rookie just whistles to vergil in the cutscene before veronica tells him not to shoot like she does in the normal version

[fair zealot]

What do you mean bro!

[thorn sierra]

Just beated halo 3: ODST, i loved every piece of it, Vergil is my new favorite character

[heavy rain]

I have a question! I want to play the original game in the Master Chief collection with a friend who is much less experienced in shooters. Is there a way to play coop on different difficulty levels? I’d love to have her on easy and me on heroic

(Mods would work too)

[analog salmon]

maybe use bandana and give her good guns lol

you can just use regular weapons to make it a challenge

[heavy rain]

What’s Bandana?

[finite prawn]

infinite ammo skull

[heavy rain]

Were there skulls back in 2001? lol

[analog salmon]

They were added for CEA

[river minnow]

sleep

[analog salmon]

No u

Sun’s gonna get me

[river minnow]

smh, I just woke up for no reason. off you go

[heavy rain]

Okay great! That should help a lot with balance, thanks 😄

[analog salmon]

No worries 😄

[zealous panther]

This week is regular firefight

[river minnow]

it has the grunt mode too

[zealous panther]

Oh, I didn't knew. I played few times this week and only get normal ones

[zealous dagger]

Same 👍👌

[brittle hollow]

Hi guys. Can I just check in advance. Is voice chat supported in MCC using a controller?

[crystal iron]

If you’re still looking for an answer then on Xbox the mic should work when connected to the controller

On PC I’m pretty sure your normal setup works fine

[brittle hollow]

Ok thanks!

[twin crag]

meh trailerr

[obtuse tartan]

Agreed unfortunately

[misty vale]

Whoever puts together the trailer should probably not put both "20 Tier Operation pass" and a graphic showing the 7 total actual rewards in the trailer. It kinda highlights the totally null tiers like xp boosts (who doesn't have >100 of these?)

[celest heron]

there aren't any xp boosts from what was shown on the live stream. it's just spartan points

[blissful vortex]

where do you get so many tho? the passes dont contain that much

[misty vale]

There's never been a reason to use them

[blissful vortex]

faster pass progress ig

[misty vale]

but why

the last operation took 5 hours over 4 weeks for me to complete. I've been playing HD2

I stand corrected and that there are spartan points instead of fluff

but we need new guns, new vehicles, and new equipment.

[blissful vortex]

well you could have completed it in 3 hours instead lol

and if u go back to the seasons if you havent completed them they have more tiers

I havent personally so boosters will be nice

[misty vale]

Seasons were like 6 months long

and took about 4 weeks with no boosts to complete. I never felt a single bit of pressure to xp boost for those.

[blissful vortex]

well if someone is new and it took you4 weeks to complete a pass thats 20 weeks for 5 passes rn

[misty vale]

I'm going to say that the number of hypothetical players who fit that description is probably <10

so, nothing to really consider in the grand scheme of it. Oh well

[blissful vortex]

make it 11, im just about to buy s5 haha

[misty vale]

husky raid owns. Wish there were new guns, vehicles, and equipment coming

[blissful vortex]

the rusalka armor kit looks so damn dope

[celest heron]

those people will have to grind the same as everyone else did. they'll just finish later.

[blissful vortex]

yeah thats fair im just saying that xp boosts arent useless

[celest heron]

they have use if you're trying to finish sooner

[misty vale]

They're just a nothingburger for people who actually played Halo Infinite.

[civic sundial]

I just want something new to shoot or drive

[sullen owl]

A drivable gun would be nice. Some sort of Revenant maybe.

[civic sundial]

I wouldn't even mind a vehicle variant like the Hannibal Scorpion from Halo 5 coming back

[sullen owl]

I need to reup my gold at some point and play more online of 5. I played maybe three matches. lol

One was the special warzone firefight and I really didn't understand fully what was going on. Just kept killing stuff and dying.

[civic sundial]

Honestly been thinking of doing that too

I miss the variety 5 offered in terms of weapons

[formal kettle]

To Everyone in the Halo community on Discord, I wanted to apologize for all the gaslighting,and trolling tactics I have inflicted upon you. I really thought I was right about Halo being an RPG game when everyone on the discord chat proved me wrong. I was also wrong to not look up the video on YouTube on a halo speed run on legendary to prove my argument. And for that I apologize. I was wrong to challenge an argument that the final boss could not be reached in a speed run. The video evidence of what I shared was a legendary speed run on YouTube that was done by someone else. I was wrong to challenge anyone who could beat the game on a legendary speed run, and the evidence was on YouTube. For all the confusion I brought to this community I apologize for all the conspiracy and false narratives to what I said about Halo infinite. And for that I'm truly sorry for bringing it up as an RPG game. I was uneducated about this lying incident and never again, will I attempt to give the wrong answers ever again, and to replace the words I put in people's mouths in confusion. I take full responsibility again for this wrongdoing of this incident and never again will I attempt to lie, troll or gaslight the community ever again.

Sincerely Yonis

What color do you guys think brushtread disruptive is?

i have a debate going on over this coating

[ruby lake]

no one cares

anyways

godzilla time

[ruby knoll]

mushroom jelly

[civic sundial]

I learnt recently Godzilla visited my place of birth in a graphic novel and destroyed some nuclear stuff hidden there

[formal kettle]

Thanks.

[white birch]

Godzilla doing his glorious work.

[civic sundial]

Honestly him just being there would be an improvement given how things are in the UK these days (Though that would be getting super off topic to delve into)

[ruby lake]

i wonder if the marvel version of godzilla is gonna make a comback

[neon jasper]

didnt see the trailer posted dont know if its allowed or if people do it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcdZLmdUb_4

[spare finch]

Once the update comes out, i’m getting platinum anniversary asap

[white birch]

Its a solid coating.

[spare finch]

Agreed, great choice for it to return

[thorn sierra]

is there any way of putting lives in halo reach multiplayer? like if you die you have certain ammount of lives left

[spare finch]

I doubt they’ll change how the old games work, but I don’t think so.

[white birch]

Theres probably a customs game option for respawn.

I remember there was a Hunger Games mode where if you died you couldnt respawn.

[river minnow]

👏

[white birch]

I mean, he learned

[neon jasper]

are there clans or no?

[sullen kiln]

If you are interested in joining a clan, are recruiting for a clan, or are looking for general clan discussions, please visit #1076334026090094602 and find the clan of your dreams today!

[analog salmon]

yeah this is an option as far back as halo 3 at least

[thorn sierra]

is there a way to enable it on the mcc? and how? ive been searching for so long to make that

[spare finch]

When will btb not be so competitive for a core mode

There’s ranked for a reason, I keep dying because of people being too competitive on non-ranked

[zenith holly]

Almost every social mode is competitive, unfortunately

[spare finch]

Social modes are supposed to be fun and social, I don’t have fun when it’s just death after death

[white birch]

The moment they stop making you get more XP for Big Team, you'll stop seeing tryhards in it.
Most people playing BTB right now are using it to style on others, methinks

[analog salmon]

i think its just a first person shooter

btb is the most casual regular mode

cant change that it's a first person shooter tho

[analog salmon]

General settings > Respawn settings

[strong needle]

Is there a way to do Spartan Ops online? I mean like, search and join with random people like firefight and other multiplayer game modes.

[analog salmon]

not anymore

[strong needle]

Oof, thanks for the quick reply

[crystal iron]

You’d have to organise it with people prior

[misty vale]

Husky raid.

[analog salmon]

i meant regular as in equal starts etc.

[lusty wraith]

99.99% sure it’s possible, especially with Reach in MCC having the ability to import gamemodes from file. So if it’s not in the built in options you could likely write up a mode that does

[old vigil]

Does anyone know what time the update comes out?

[ruby knoll]

probably 11 am 343 time

[old vigil]

Which time is 343 time…

[ruby knoll]

Pacific time

[lusty wraith]

Washington

[ruby knoll]

utc-8

or 7 idk. Daylight savings as well

[old vigil]

Oh great 1pm for me

Bruh

[spare finch]

Utc-8 aka pst

[humble berry]

any word on aim assist toggle for MNK?

haven't kept up with halo recently

[sly yew]

is there a steam workshop mod for the grunt birthday party to do the "yipii" sound?

this:

https://tenor.com/view/tbh-creature-gif-25772842

[silver lynx]

Yayyyyyy

[sly yew]

so true

idk why no link embeds but media is fine?

[silver lynx]

Im new im just looking for a way to host a custom game i had lots of fun in the other day. It was a reach custom game. I see where I have the file saved but the settings aren’t exact when I load up the game

I thought u could basically copy and paste any custom match from your files. Haven’t played mcc in a while

[civic sundial]

So I just noticed something about the promo art for the next few operations, they're at Relic from Halo 2

Like, that's definitely Relic, right?

[river minnow]

made by sperasoft in forge

[frosty condor]

It’s the same structure but not an exact one to one of the map

[ruby lake]

welcome to fps gaming

you either die hard or adapt

[young glen]

There's still no toggle, and as far as I'm aware from watching the stream, there wasn't any mention of eventually adding a toggle.

[humble berry]

Dang.

[spare finch]

No, but practice makes your aim better, which is why I aim good on both controller and kbm

[humble berry]

I'm good with my aim, however personally I don't like how aim assist messes with my aim, I want to turn it off

[limpid python]

Controller>mnk

Mnk emulating controller>controller>mnk

[left snow]

Just had my weekly frag fest with mates. Two and half hours. Squad battle, Husky Raid, etc.

And once again. We had an absolute blast. Infinite can be so much fun if you let it.

Tried that new map. Corrosion. I thought it looked a bit bland. Kind of like a Halo 5 map. But it seemed to play pretty well. Not that we had much idea of what we were doing.

[limpid python]

If they added chat all i Will play again infinite, until then mcc

[spare finch]

honestly idc which one I use, i'm good at both

the reason I main controller though is because of better strafing

[left snow]

I think my son was using both there for a bit. Controller for in close and then switching to keyboard to use the sniper rifle etc.

[spare finch]

I can strafe in circles doorway-length while crouching every half-second and I basically only lose half my shield in fights

[spare finch]

woah he's smart

[left snow]

It would be good to be able to chat with random team mates. There were three of us for the first few games - so there was a random solo player. It would have been awesome to have them in chat by default.

[spare finch]

kbm is really good for ranged weapons

[silk flare]

Anybody know when the Halo infinite update is going to happen cause I just turned it on and updates not live yet

[blissful vortex]

some folks here said 1/2pm est

[silk flare]

Ok

[coarse dagger]

It's always around 10am or 11am Pacific

Unless they say it's later

[civic sundial]

About 3 hours from now

[misty vale]

honestly with the sidekick change KBM is going to finally feel almost equatable. The aimbot x sidekick for controller players has been a gigantic crutch

[blissful vortex]

what are they changing w the sidekick?

[coarse dagger]

https://aka.ms/BanishedHonorSandbox

[misty vale]

They are making it so that you can't just TURBO BUTTON the shots for an ezkill. 15% reduction in ROF means I'll have another second to take cover before I die because of the TTK.

[blissful vortex]

wow, might have to use the ar then LOL, I completely stopped using it since the pistol was much better

[misty vale]

I am guessing they'll revert after the cacophony of whinging over not being able to aimbot midrange kills with no skillful input becomes too loud. But I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.

[open umbra]

Still think they shouldn't remove cindershot's gravity effect

[crystal iron]

You know what would be an interesting idea for a Halo spinoff game?

[balmy wedge]

Me too. I feel like they've been taking away a lot of unique functionality from weapons, I'll never forgive what they did with the Disruptor.
That said, it's fortunate it wasn't remvoed outright.

[civic sundial]

If it ain't Unggoy Farmer, I don't care /j

[crystal iron]

It's something random I thought of, but imagine a Skyrim styled game(you know, with Halo weapons and gameplay). But you got a selection of not only being a Spartan, but also an elite, brute, basically any Covenant species(that isn't just a large beastly creature).

You got the whole the ring to explore. And I don't know know what else to say past that, it's just some idea I thought of randomly.

So basically: "What if we had Skyrim... but it's Halo?".

[blissful vortex]

"Finally, you are awake"

[drifting tartan]

Sounds Interesting

[crystal iron]

Maybe each species has a certain advantage.

[drifting tartan]

That would be cool. I'd play that

[crystal iron]

Now I wonder what kind of "story" it would be, what exactly could you "DO" in this hypothetical game?

[drifting tartan]

Maybe the elite could Turn Invisible

Brutes would do more damage and have more health but would be a lot slower

[drifting tartan]

Kill anything that moves?

[blissful vortex]

Uhm okay akshually thats racist 🤓

[civic sundial]

Aren't all the species in Skyrim that you play as humanoid with roughly similar proportions to humans?

[crystal iron]

Well, yeah.

[open umbra]

As for now, I think they can just make the stories from waypoint chronicles (fireteam shadow one and the flood one) into some small missions since they don't have the campaign team yet.

[crystal iron]

Is the Campaign team still suffering?

[open umbra]

No idea

[crystal iron]

Hope they're doing better.

But yeah, I feel like this could actually make the whole "Open World Halo" idea work more.

[blissful vortex]

Skyrim has catgirls
Halo doesnt
Skyrim>Halo

[crystal iron]

Cat ears kinda (maybe, theoretically) got that covered.

(sorta)

[drifting tartan]

Catgirls disgust me

[crystal iron]

Anyways, I would imagine that "Unggoy Farmer" could be something plausible in this hypothetical game.

Hey, when's the last time they did a "answering the community's questions" thing?

[open umbra]

It would be cool if they make a gamemode similar to Beast in Gears 3. (Able to play as any species than just elites in Invasion)

[crystal iron]

That would be pretty neat.

[tulip tusk]

i used to daydream about that species idea i think halo will reach such a point one day, where they just toss everything into the game either officially or via mods that are easily accessible just by joining a hosted server on custom browser

[formal kettle]

@civic sundial I'm not going to beat around the bush or insult halo again. But I wanted to ask you? Which reboot era of halo would be best to reset the timeline in an alternative reality? What I mean about alternative reality I mean an Atriox timeline. Let's say if you could choose the year 2552 or 2553.

[river minnow]

no no no no lets not do the timeline stuff please

[river minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/master-chief-uw-u-gif-20951888

[crystal iron]

This was the first thing I saw when coming back to this channel.

I have no words.

[ruby knoll]

hey revendynf don't you think forerunners are human

[river minnow]

perish

[limpid lance]

What’re your hopes for ANYTHING Halo related at the Xbox showcase in 6 weeks?

[drifting tartan]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

[civic sundial]

Atriox timeline? Atriox isn't from some alternative canon, he's in the main timeline because all the games are in the same continuity

[civic sundial]

We need to go further

[formal kettle]

From what I understand so far. Is that idk about giving spoilers but, Atriox is in the BC era. Who knows if he outlives every halo character. But if halo is still a continuity it would bring problems as to what's canon. I know I'm giving everyone a timeline headache but the plot from Halo infinite just doesn't make sense yet. Who knows maybe the continuity is in the reset. And I'm still confused as to how Atriox is in the BC era in the first place.

[civic sundial]

Atriox hasn't time traveled and even if he had, we don't know the rules of time travel in Halo, could easily be a closed loop

[misty vale]

Dang, 8.5 gigs

[zenith holly]

Hey, do you guys think we should have cross core for chest pieces?

[formal kettle]

Fair enough, for all time travel logic, whoever controls the past, also controls the present and future. If there was a story to reboot the timeline I think the best setting would be 2552. And here's my breakdown, they can go post halo alpha destruction. And start at a title sequence of halo 2 but this time here's the fun. Atriox Breaches high charity to kill the heretic and the royal guards plot a coup against the heretic and Thel escapes. And then finds a disguise for the end of mission 1.

[civic sundial]

I doubt we'll be seeing a timeline reboot

[formal kettle]

Fair enough. I'll just take it as a grain of salt for now. Halo at this point is nowhere near the timelines in the books. It's just original works that avoid plagiarism.

[civic sundial]

What?

The games aren't plagiarising anything?

[celest heron]

maybe they're referring to their own ideas.

[white birch]

God I hope so cause otherwise someone's getting force fed the Fall of Reach again

[formal kettle]

What I meant is that the games have original ideas but the books have different ideas.

[civic sundial]

Ok... Not sure what you mean by that

[lusty wraith]

Could see some, but a lot of em are too armor specific imo

I think at this point for cross-core we should get small waves of specific cross-core updates like helmet attachments or utility pieces, maaaybe knees

Definitely think katanas should be cross core

[neon jasper]

Am i missing something? wheres the new operation

[zenith holly]

I know this would be a take but for the next halo game, I kinda wished they kept the custom AI thing

Our reset time is at 11:00 well for Pacific time anyway

[neon jasper]

ah

makes sense lol

[civic sundial]

Update was showing up for me

Check in the manage updates section of my games and apps if you're on Xbox

[real vapor]

I'm at 50% for the update

[zenith holly]

Got mine done and logged in, can't wait to see the reduced fire rate on the sidekick

[maiden skiff]

Came back to infinite today after a year not playing it and got greeted with a 4v1 because the 3 players on my team using AFK macros, its amazing how they never solved this issue.

[shrewd arrow]

What is the best way to practice my aim in Halo Infinite?
My aim is off and I’m still playing for like 3 hours a day but still not
Improving.

[misty vale]

what input are you using.

[white birch]

Its all part of the same universe. Theres zero disconnect.

[formal kettle]

Thanks.

[shrewd arrow]

Sorry I’m new to all this,
What do you mean by input?

[blissful vortex]

mkb or controller

[shrewd arrow]

Mouse and keyboard is what I use.

I’ve been playing Minecraft with mouse and keyboard for about six years now and I’m accurate, but not in Halo Infinite

[blissful vortex]

if you are really struggling you could try aim training like aimlabs

[lusty wraith]

boggart wendigo

aim assist toggle is a W, now nerf strafes 🙏

[neon jasper]

are players ion games that have 343 in the name AI?

[civic sundial]

Yes

[misty vale]

aimlabs isn't great for halo infinite because there is no aimbot in aimlabs. The aimbot in halo infinite makes sniping on mkb harder than it would be otherwise. The only way to train your aim in halo is within halo.

[blissful vortex]

I disagree, if you can stay on target in other games you can stay on target in halo easier

and sniping is def easier for me in halo as well compared to others

[shrewd arrow]

Where would I find aimlabs in Halo Infinite it’s self or?

[crystal iron]

does anyone know if there is any game or server similar to the cut halo reach global battles? (tons of vehicles, tons of players, scarabs, dozens of tanks, actual warfare on a massive scale)

[neon jasper]

much faster getting into comp games in this than D2

[blissful vortex]

you could have searched it up long ago instead of waiting for an answer but its on steam

[sly yew]

so?

[scarlet shuttle]

The lag is terrible 🤯 getting guy teleporting on me with sword in husky raid, like he start going in a direction with grapple and suddenly fly toward me

And what’s up with Quitter? We should have Spartan Point Penalty when we quit.

[ruby lake]

daily challenge doesnt give 500xp

what is the meaning of this?

[shadow turret]

way to gain SP
it gives 250 SO now instead of 500 XP

[ruby lake]

why can't they just put both of those in the same challenge?

[shadow turret]

dunno

[ruby lake]

now theres 50xp challenges

whyyyyyyyyyy

now im earning even LESS exp

[analog salmon]

did the daily challenge use to contribute to your career rank?

[shadow turret]

no, BP

[analog salmon]

then honestly probably no bad thing

i would crack a 2XP before every daily and finish the pass so fast

sidekick fights feel a lot better

biggest change to take the sweaty feel out of the casual modes

and the side affect of the AR being more viable is great for newer players

[vernal temple]

?

[analog salmon]

the firerate is slower

bigger maps should still be bandit starts imo but i can say the sidekick is now enjoyable to use in cq

[spare finch]

it's prob unnoticable for mint blitz and other pros

I'm scared to see how much the sidekick has changed

also holy crap the update is 15gb

[blissful vortex]

I noticed that other players are worse with the sidekick while I win more fights w it....soo, win I guess? xD

[analog salmon]

the only people who will dislike the change are sweats in casual playlists

[spare finch]

win win for pros still

[blissful vortex]

I wouldnt really say im a pro haha

[spare finch]

I can imagine it's still good

[spare finch]

I'm above average and am good with snipers, pistols, and br

[spare finch]

still learning the stalker and shock

but overall i have the hang of them

[analog salmon]

unless you like spamming your trigger or mouse in cq, you are gonna benefit from the slower firerate lol

[spare finch]

I'm trying to figure out how to headshot-perfect the shock

[young glen]

https://twitter.com/impliedskill/status/1783621728822014403

Video of the change if you care.

[spare finch]

so slower fire rate is better?

[spare finch]

thanks shled

[analog salmon]

i mean do you enjoy spamming a trigger when you're just trying to kick back and play halo?

i cant imagine many actual casual halo players enjoy that

[spare finch]

I don't see a difference tbh

[analog salmon]

you will appreciate not getting melted by spam trigger mint blitz wannabes

i include myself in that but tbf i never willingly use the sidekick, its just what your forced to use in social

[spare finch]

I've only seen an enemy spam pistol once, and it wasn't even mint blitz

I've obliterated enemies with it before the update

[shadow turret]

Sidekick is actually buffed imo, I'll need to try it in MM but in drills it feels better

[analog salmon]

in cq you just spam at the body and pace the last shot. spamming was how you won in cq

[scarlet shuttle]

Just saw a Cadet Gold II with only 316 match played, and he finished the last game with -50 points (killed himself a bunch of time). Is it possible to reach Gold in so many few games?

[analog salmon]

you had to know how to use it as a ranked player because it was such an OP pickup

[analog salmon]

well its easier to control bloom

which is another benefit for casual players

[spare finch]

yeah, platinum took around 400 games to get to, almost 1000 to get to diamond. It's definitely possible

[spare finch]

for me at least

[blissful vortex]

I do lol

thats how you win the fights, duh, just gotta hit your shots

[analog salmon]

yeah i know and i hate it lol

[spare finch]

me sniping snipers:

[scarlet shuttle]

Was wondering cause I lost track of it since I’m myself Platinum Staff Sergeant III with 3,210 match

[analog salmon]

just isn't why i play casual halo, to spam my mouse button like that

[spare finch]

I'm at Platinum Master Sergeant II with only 1000 smth games

[blissful vortex]

I mean, why would spamming the trigger be sweating, lol

[analog salmon]

how is it casual lol?

[blissful vortex]

how is it not? you are using the pistol what its intended for

[scarlet shuttle]

I didn’t feel any change with the sidekick, but did they reduce the rate of fire for Cinder?

[analog salmon]

casual halo never had me spamming my trigger / mouse and we had plenty of pistols lol

[spare finch]

pistol + strafing is sweaty to some people

[shadow turret]

I'm Diamond Brig general 2 with like 2k ish games since S4

[scarlet shuttle]

Yeah, they didn’t count the game for the first two years.

[blissful vortex]

yeah because in the past they shot slower

[spare finch]

i'm def gonna hit hero by 2900 games

[blissful vortex]

you two definitely like firefight/husky raid haha

[spare finch]

iirc january 2023 was when they added the ranks

[shadow turret]

I used to grind FF a ton lol, don't rly anymore tho, just got burnt out of it

[analog salmon]

and that made it feel more casual. idk man. i play both ranked and casual halo and the fire rate of that gun just ruined Infinite's casual experience for me

[spare finch]

so it's been roughly a year since it existed, I just didn't know about it until december 2023

[analog salmon]

the gun is indeed the gun, doesn't change how the action of spamming my finger on a mouse makes the game feel for me

[spare finch]

playing with friends always help the grind feel less exhausting

[scarlet shuttle]

Have they reduced the rate of fire for the Cinder Shot? I felt like it was extremely slow last game I got to try.

Either that or it bugged

[spare finch]

no they haven't iirc

[coarse dagger]

https://aka.ms/BanishedHonorSandbox

[blissful vortex]

I would def grind it if there was solo or duo ff

even legendary feels easy w 4 players

[formal kettle]

Hey everyone, who wants Cross-platform play on every competitive console? If no one wants it I understand. I'll just keep on walking.

[shadow turret]

rarely play Legendary

[analog salmon]

idk what you're even asking

[formal kettle]

Do you want to see halo on PlayStation and Nintendo consoles? Is it simplified for you?

[blissful vortex]

magnum in ce was anything but casual lol, it was a sniper

[livid fable]

you mean the cricket gun

[analog salmon]

CE has a skill curve but once you master the magnum it feels very casual to me

you start with the best weapon, right off spawn you can kill any player looking at you

[blissful vortex]

I never had a problem w kills in CE personally

[analog salmon]

i think you just dont really get what casual means in this context

[blissful vortex]

well casual play for me is just playing and doing my best

[spare finch]

snipers are more of snipers

[analog salmon]

yeah casual for me is just playing the game for fun

[blissful vortex]

sweating would mean that I lock in and close out everything

[analog salmon]

i try my best in ranked, in casual i mess around a bit

[blissful vortex]

but running around killing ppl is fun for me, I dont play ranked because of the long queue times and unfair teams, half of my ranked games are against coordinated 4 stacks while I have a guy on my team who is discussing dinner with his wife

[analog salmon]

game requiring that i spam a trigger at pre-nerf rates to win a gun fight wasnt it for me

[blissful vortex]

that happened today btw im not kidding hahaha xD

[spare finch]

lmao

I hate when people use voice chat to not talk to people in the game

[analog salmon]

if you like sweating in casual modes thats fine, i just dont think the mode should have to feel sweaty for everyone playing it

[blissful vortex]

I hate it when someone is on open and they are devouring their mics

[analog salmon]

realistically this nerf just means some player kicking back and AR spraying you has a better chance at killing you

your sidekick is a bit less deadly

[livid fable]

ideas have been recommended regarding this, actually. The lack of middle ground between comp and casual results in people who want serious games that don't affect rank to have nowhere to go but casual.

[blissful vortex]

there are people better than me in more than half of the games definitely so idk

[spare finch]

He's only trolling foreign language ranting intensifies

[analog salmon]

great traded off for overall more welcoming casual halo experience imho

[blissful vortex]

here are my stats, do you think im a sweat or not? https://spartanrecord.com/service_record/mrbubbleg

[spare finch]

I'm speedrunning the operation

[blissful vortex]

I still feel like there are tons of people better than me so idk

[blissful vortex]

I am almost half done as well lol

[spare finch]

yes, teach me your btb ways

[blissful vortex]

I dont play btb

[spare finch]

yeah you do

1.54 is your btb kdr

[blissful vortex]

I played a few games when I started playing but I dont like it

[spare finch]

also finally something worth using my xp boosts on

[blissful vortex]

meh, thats not that good imo

[analog salmon]

i cant judge if your a sweat or not based on your stats lol, 1.5+ k/d ratio puts you obviously fairly above average for the casual playerbase

[livid fable]

someone, i do not remember who, proposed a three tier system of casual, Cautious, and Competitive.

Casual would be stuff like kong slayer, purple rain, standard slayer, etc.
Cautious would use comp rules, but not be ranked.
Competitive would be for ranked games.
