halo-discussion

[analog salmon]

i have a 1.8k/d in btb and i mess around and dont enjoy having to spam the trigger of a pistol for some context

its a very subjective thing

at the end of the day its just relative to how you want to experience the game

i know this sidekick nerf is gonna be a decisive change especially for players who play casual to try their best

but for me it's 100% a good move

[blissful vortex]

but honestly positioning matters, stay w your team and dont overextend and kills are easy then, I dont rly play btb cuz I dont like it as much as other modes

[rugged quartz]

K/D isn't the best way of judging skill at all.. especially when you get placed in tighter matches

[blissful vortex]

my "mains" are quick, duos and husky

[rugged quartz]

you can get a higher K/D against lower skilled players but when its more to your skill, good luck having it high.

[analog salmon]

ultimately i think its lowering the skill gap in an area where the skill gap is not benefiting the casual halo experience. there is a playlist for high skill gap halo.

[blissful vortex]

part of my hate towards btb is the fact that performance is awful and I get like 50-60 fps only

[blissful vortex]

well I only quit matches when its blatantly awful, like a good 4 stack against randoms, like yesterday I had a game where after 20 kills 2 of my teammates were in minus score and didnt have a single kill

[analog salmon]

if they add a match composer and allow for queuing with BR starts only like MCC, I think Infinite will be somewhat close to this

[blissful vortex]

the new team slayer mode says that it spawns u with BR and AR but it spawns u with AR and pistol lol

[analog salmon]

there's both afaik

and its so random i dont get it

i would make sidekick+AR on small maps, BR+AR on bigger maps

that way you dont end up in the situation you spawn with a sidekick out in the open and you're getting immediately beamed to death by a BR across the map

[blissful vortex]

tier 10 and I already have 7750 SP

[analog salmon]

Cliffhanger is frankly broken with sidekick starts i dont get it

and its a shame cause Cliffhanger with BR or Bandit starts is a good map

[blissful vortex]

bruh I hate how infinite doesnt display map names cuz I have no idea what cliffhanger is

[analog salmon]

the ONI facility on the top of a cliff with the island where sniper spawns

[blissful vortex]

wait ill google it

oh I know which one it is, is it even in quick play? I only ever got it in firefight

[analog salmon]

they probably nuked the weighting because people keep quiting

which i dont blame them for doing so cause its just miserable. One team gets BRs/Commandos and the game just snowballs

it just doesnt work with the sidekick

[rugged quartz]

I really dont think that's a thing

You can view which maps are in in the menu

[analog salmon]

i think they said in an update they adjust weighting based on data and player feedback

data being quits no doubt

[native tinsel]

Are SP's out??

[rugged quartz]

Pretty sure they announce that in the notes

[analog salmon]

they dont announce every weighting change i dont think

[blissful vortex]

how does the cindershot work exactly lol, I cant figure it out

[rugged quartz]

yes

[rugged quartz]

It bounces then explodes

[analog salmon]

i shoot ground and bounce it up in their face

[blissful vortex]

I just shoot at my enemy and it either does nothing or obliterates them

[rugged quartz]

you may be shooting in a way where the grenade goes past them

and explodes mostly behind them

[blissful vortex]

so shoot way before them and it explodes kind of as a shaped charge?

[radiant sundial]

Alr, whats being talked abt

[analog salmon]

if you shoot the ground you can time the detonation a bit easier ig

[young glen]

Not going to lie, I genuinely don't know what most of the Forge maps are called in matchmaking.

[analog salmon]

i think i two tapped someone with it today which supprised me

[blissful vortex]

I dont know what most of the maps are called since im new to the game lol

I only know damnation and corrosion off the top of my head

[warm fjord]

lol great, Halo Infinite just crashed while in the middle of a firefight 😦

[hearty nova]

Halo 4 or Halo 5

Ik both are bad but pick one

[blissful vortex]

I felt like h4 was fun

[hearty nova]

Pick your poison

[radiant sundial]

Halo 5's mp was great, but i gotta go with h4 bc more customization options

[hearty nova]

Halo 4 had specializations

They shouldnt have gotten rid of it

[ruby lake]

why does the gravity hammer sucks so bad?

[karmic oriole]

Where's heavies refresh? Wasn't that supposed to be the featured Playlist for this update?

[hearty nova]

You gotta beat halo 2 legendary

[blissful vortex]

I just had a 3 minute husky raid, I dont think I have ever seen such domination lol

[ruby lake]

i meant in infinite.

[hearty nova]

Oooh

[ruby lake]

ugh

[analog salmon]

they nerfed it today lol

[ruby lake]

WHY

[near berry]

What happened to getting new vehicles?

[analog salmon]

it was too stronk

[blissful vortex]

thinking about getting citron white, looks awesome

[karmic oriole]

So no one knows what happened to BTB heavies refresh?

[spare finch]

i'ma get plat anniversary when I have enough spartan points

[ruby knoll]

what about it

[sleek hatch]

Wish we could play in the academy while we wait for ranked games.

[near berry]

Falcon and the warthog/tank thing?
Did they just decide it’s not worth it to put in the game?

I feel like people forget Halo 5 has more overall content than Infinite.
And on updates for Halo 5 it’s had vehicles, weapon skins, weapon attachments, armors added and spec ops added stories and missions…
This isn’t me complaining. Just comparing.
Halo 5 had more attention and love than infinite.
Halo 5 was broken at release (same as infinite)
And 343 spent years repairing and slowly releasing a complete game. Over years.
The second it was 100% they abandon it and scrap it to make the next halo game to repeat the same process.
Halo Infinite has an extremely high level overall of less content than its predecessor.

[ruby knoll]

did they ever announce those?

[near berry]

It was in the posts they made for upcoming content they had images of them yes.

[ruby knoll]

do you have links

[spare finch]

they changed the spectating speed

[coarse dagger]

Nothing like that was ever announced or teased in any manner

[coarse dagger]

Halo 5s DLC model was not sustainable for the team, it burned devs out fsr too quickly

[near berry]

https://youtu.be/e1dKFMWMTeg?si=LwVjtwKIcItNxdVt

Gaslight me again.
Roadmap pictures 343 deleted from there fourms.
This video has the images of the roadmap for vehicels and weapons at season 6 before they abandonded the idea of seasons. @coarse dagger @ruby knoll

Not my fault they deleted the links thinking no one would notice

[crystal iron]

Someone knows where is act of genesis stance located at?

[karmic oriole]

Btb heavies refresh?

[shrewd arrow]

What should my FOV be set as in Halo Infinite

[ruby lake]

aaaaaggghhh

i think we're at a point where infinite's gonna have less and less update features

[shrewd arrow]

Why?

[ruby lake]

like

"WEAPON TUNING!!! GUYS?! ISMT THIS AMAAZIN?!"

that doesnt make me feel excited or to look forward for

anything really

[shrewd arrow]

Is the campaign mor interesting than Infinite?

[ruby knoll]

that pic in the thumbnail is fake lol

[hasty sable]

https://gyazo.com/22700af1c69d14373e1ee728653f02e9 without the mandables and the headpiece this is literally spartan Locke's helmet

[onyx latch]

Not really. It reminds me more of a scuffed up ODST helm.

[hasty sable]

Rlly? the skinny visor and puffed up mouth piece really look like a Mark VII variant of his helmet.

Would be cool to get it without the attachments

[onyx latch]

I don't really see it. The lines follow, I guess, but Locke's helmet design is still pretty basic.

[hasty sable]

True, in comparison to halo 5 armor design is pretty geometrically simple. definitely not a 1 to 1 but a strong inspiration, with a close second being the linebreaker helmet in S2 battlepass

[blissful vortex]

whatever u prefer, I personally play on max

[left snow]

Trade off. Higher FOV = wider view. Lower FOV = easier aiming.

I've seen most recommendations for between 90 and 105.

I'd probably start at 95 and slowly work your way up and down depending on how your aiming feels.

[rugged quartz]

I think halo 5's model spread out over more time to be more sustainable would have been good for infinite

[old vigil]

HOLY HELL WHY IS THE PATHS TO DOMINANCE PACK SO EXPENSIVE

That’s over $30 of credits

[twin jackal]

I like the exchange being added but why did they put all of the exclusive rewards like the legacy coatings and beta emblems in there?

[onyx latch]

To reduce FOMO

Which is what the Ults and store were criticized for doing

[spare finch]

is it just me or does the br fire faster

[ivory sun]

The shop model would be more tolerable if we had the option to buy credits with Spartan Points

I'd much rather grind the game instead of spending a lot of money

[lusty wraith]

Monkey’s paw curls…

30000 SC for 5 credits take it or leave it

[rugged quartz]

Yes, but also adjust SP gain

[solid ingot]

SP gain would be fine enough if that one item wasn’t 30,000.

And you made like 25 a match or something.

[zinc oriole]

how long is the battle pass until? for halo infinite

[celest heron]

june 4th

[coarse dagger]

I'm not gaslighting anyone. 343 has never announced anything like that. Those images are not from anything 343 published

It's either modded content in that video, or stuff lying around in files people dug out - which isn't anything that can be discussed here

Couple of those images actually look like concept art pulled from the Encyclopedia

[ruby knoll]

it's cobbled out of random sources

[civic sundial]

The one that's funny to me is the supposed combat knife weapon. Like what would it do? The energy sword already exists and would do everything a knife does better in terms of gameplay

[onyx latch]

Eh, I could see it being a themed sword replacer or 'civilian mode' weapon.

[civic sundial]

See that sounds boring

Like, there's so many different things that could be added, yet people for some reason want a knife as a weapon

[shrewd arrow]

K will do I think my FOV Is like on 95

[onyx latch]

And what we ultimately got was the... Reach DMR.

Still a little salty bout that one.

[paper estuary]

Why are skimmers so hard to shoot down

A lot harder to shoot down compared to drones

[noble urchin]

waaaait, the newer operations are still buyable for 500 credits even after their event is over???

[zealous panther]

i hate no first play of the day xp reward and 250 credits instead with the ultimate reward as 1k

with prices like 30k this is a joke

[coarse dagger]

Yep, same as Season passes were

[noble urchin]

343

i love you

[noble urchin]

if there wasn't expensive stuff then you'd blow through the exchange in a week and then what

[civic sundial]

I'm just saving for when Mark V Zeta arrives, already got much of what's in the exchange this time round from having gotten it when it was originally released

[zealous panther]

and then play as before but with the stuff. 8500 + 5000 + 15000 = 28500 you literally can't get this 30k coating in this operation before exchange renew

and this is ridiculous. and there is no more ultimate rewards mind you

[civic sundial]

It'll be obtainable via the customisation menu once the exchange refreshes

I do think some of the pricing definitely needs tweaking but it's not completely gone once this operation ends

[zealous panther]

i thought they will rotate exchange

[coarse dagger]

As far as I'm aware, when the exchange renews none of the stuff currently there will go away

[zealous panther]

then im kinda puzzled why not to make everything available...

[left snow]

Integrated into assassinations? Having to change weapon to instigate them?

[left snow]

FOMO has gone. But you still need Fear of Having to Wait to drive shop sales.

[zealous panther]

i just deleted the game first time since launch. This is OW2 level of grind. And i just don't want to be pushed to play everyday

[civic sundial]

Having to swap to a knife just to use assassinations would feel clunky and awkward

[noble urchin]

i hope they have infinites EXACT battle pass/store model in the next game, except store prices cheaper

[paper estuary]

Grunts are free money in all Halo Games.

[noble urchin]

no FOMO is goated

[paper estuary]

But why Skimmers are just as hard to shoot down like crawlers?

I have to literally run to punch them down

Skimmers are not Drones

[civic sundial]

Nobody was saying the Skimmers were Drones

[paper estuary]

They look a lot harder to shoot down

I played Infinite Firefirght. Had been getting annoyed by them lol

Any tips on how to quickly shoot down Skimmers quickly?

[zealous panther]

aim to the head. and tap them

[paper estuary]

How many shots on DMR since I used it often in firefight

Compared to grunts and jackals/skirmishers in any game. A single head shot from an DMR or Pistol kills then instantly

[zealous panther]

1 bullet to the head

You just don't hit them because of their weird movement. You can use such a brightly glowing point as a guide when they look in your direction. Just shoot at it.

[paper estuary]

Ok

[zealous panther]

honestly i feel like commando is a better choice in pve then dmr. you can just spam shots around the head and kill them eventually and they also drop a lot of commando ammo

[paper estuary]

A lot of recoil is what made me use the DMR and BR for firefight games in all Halo games

I also use the Carbine

But sadly in infinite. The Pulse Carbine is basically a combination of 3 weapons

Carbine, Plasma Rifle and Storm Rifle

Stalker Rifle is ok too. More like a Dragonov

I wish Halo Infinite brings back Brute Shot

[left snow]

Probably.

But on the flip side the old system was too easy to trigger accidentally.

And this caused enough people to turn them off that they became non-viable.

[civic sundial]

Well I ain't a fan of assassinations for those reasons. Honestly I don't need them in Halo

[zealous panther]

i would like to see them in pve. but it's not a big deal

[brave lava]

Has 343 added big team infection back into the game yet? Or do i still have to wait till all the planets align? game is dead to me without it

[ruby lake]

this doesnt really feel like an update

imo, this is sad

[paper estuary]

What’s your favourite way to attack in game?

For me I prefer the more aggressive and bullish way of battling.

I often use Spartan Charge and Sprint attacks in some Halo Games

In infinite, I often use grappleshot in melee attacks

[feral vale]

that would be a nice addition to the infection playlist, add some more maps and increase the lobby size a bit.

[civic wedge]

Just came back from a long break from halo infinite, Would like some clarification I looked some of it up but still was unsure about some of them.

The bonus match xp is only active for that certain operation when its live correct? I already owned season 2’s pass does that mean I won’t get match bonus xp despite owning it but not playing during live window.

Is there a xp battlepass cutoff? I remember back then I played so many matches that eventually the 50 xp yields for the battlepass go away and you hit a wall for that day.

[young glen]

You need to own the current active operation to receive a 4th challenge slot, alongside bonus match XP.
There isn't an XP cut-off. You receive XP from playing the game and challenges. Once you've completed the weekly challenges, you'll only receive XP from playing the game.

[civic wedge]

Thank you for clarifying, Did they remove the xp cut off? Back then once you cleared all your challenges and only got 50 battlepass xp after every match (before all these bonus ones were added like top 50% or mvp) after around like 50ish matches or so you simply didn’t receive battlepass xp anymore that day

[young glen]

I know there was a cap at launch, but as far as I know, there's only an XP cap in custom games at the moment.
Honestly, I haven't seen anyone mention it since launch. So that either means it's no longer a thing, or people just don't play +50 matches in a single day.

[civic wedge]

Guess I’ll find out now that I’m on break haven’t played this game in years just got the first pass done and winter update and stopped playing

[formal kettle]

@cedar spindle I hope you get enough sleep in time and I want to share my schematics and circle back on the fan made Laso playlist I made I'll give the schematics of the skulls first before sharing the mathematical countdown. I have added 2 made up skulls to enhance the PVE environment to make it fair.

Iron= Death and Reset, Black eye= No shield regeneration Tough Luck= More projectiles evaded catch= throw more grenades and 2 will drop when you are dead. Fog= compass and motion tracker disabled Famine= Less ammo Thunderstorm= All enemies are higher ranks Tilt= Enemy defensive resistance/weaknesses are amplified Mythic= Health is doubled/hit to regenerate health, Blind= No HUD and weapons shown on icons Cowbell= increased acceleration from explosions Grunt birthday party= confetti shown from headshots, IWHBYD= Rare dialogue. That's the schematics so far. I'll get to the countdown later. And I'll add in 2 favorite made up skulls later.

As the countdown continues the skulls will be activated following after 60 minutes in a big team slayer and they'll have a backwards order for the skulls. The mathematics are as follows. 56:00= Grunt Funeral Skull, 52:00= Birthday Party skull, 48:00= IWHBYD, 44:00= Cowbell, 40:00= Blind skull, 36:00= Mythic, 32:00=Tilt, 28:00= Thunderstorm, 24:00= Famine, 20:00= Fog, 16:00= Catch 12:00= Promethean general 8:00= tough luck, 4:00= Black eye, 0:00= Iron and the game is extended by 5 minutes making the game 65 minutes in total. And the person with the last kills is considered the last player standing. And Iron does bring elimination to players who get killed in the game. Making the process fair enough for the Laso playlists.

And the 2 skulls I added for fun are Grunt Funeral and Promethean general to enhance the PVE environment.

[young glen]

Why did you ping that random dude?

[formal kettle]

Well I wanted to share my ideas with everyone. Don't get too agitated. I asked if everyone else had enough sleep. And besides we're a forum discussing innovation and what not. Thanks for listening.

[misty vale]

This dude thinks He's slick

[robust drum]

Did he name himself that to save everyone else from pings?

[civic sundial]

@ everyone doesn't work here anyway

[coarse dagger]

And for good reason - there is nothing here that needs pinging 230 thousand people

[civic sundial]

Also like, Iron still doesn't make sense in PvP, you need to explain what it does in this hypothetical mode, because until you do, I have to assume it restarts the match every time someone dies

[crystal iron]

What did I just walk into?

[formal kettle]

It's not a reset. It's an elimination skull. And I already explained it if you read the last paragraph.

[civic sundial]

So it's basically changing the gamemode

Also I don't think anyone would want to be playing the exact same BTB map for an hour

[formal kettle]

Ok, I have good options, for slayer,and king of the hill it can be 30 minutes, depending on how time works differently in a halo game I think the seconds and minutes move faster. I leave out options for players to choose playlists of their liking. And time works differently like sports games where seconds and minutes move faster.

[civic sundial]

The timers in Halo games aren't faster than ones in real life, a second is still a second in Halo

And having to control a hill for 30 minutes sounds like hell for a matchmade mode

[formal kettle]

And you don't have to like the game. I'm just pointing out the pros and cons.
The pros: -it's fun and addicting

• it builds a skill like strategy
• Laso can be immersive for players to engage in like firefight
  The cons: - it's challenging
• it builds tension
• and it gets players to actually want the feeling of winning.
• losers will throw the controller in anger. Sure the cons are immeasurable but at the end of the day new games are what's building the next community.

[civic sundial]

You don't need a gruellingly long match to build tension or give players the need to win

[formal kettle]

Alright, is 15 minutes suitable for the players.

[civic sundial]

Yes because that's around the standard match time

[formal kettle]

Ok fair enough,I know you know the mathematics for each minute of the skulls being activated. But it's still not like world of Warcraft or ESO. I think it's just like a firefight but with a multiplayer matchmaking as a setting. I know what it's like to win and lose. But I just want to play the game at its fullest. Challenges and all.

[civic sundial]

I thought this was a LASO BTB playlist, not Firefight?

[formal kettle]

Well you're right to be confused. I just wanted the same elements of Laso in a playlist. Sorry if I'm confusing you again.

[sturdy kernel]

Does anyone have any tips for heroic difficulty?
I want to try to get into the game on this and the next difficulty(legendary)

[civic sundial]

Which game are you playing?

[sturdy kernel]

Infinite

[civic sundial]

Ok, first piece of advice I have is that precision weapons like the BR and Stalker Rifle are your best friends

Second, use Plasma weapons to strip shields quickly when in the middle of a fight

Third, if you're coming across a group of Banished with Elites on patrol that haven't spotted you, find the highest ranked one and kill them before they can activate shields

Four, upgrading your equipment will help, I recommend going for shield upgrades first so you have more survivability

[balmy wedge]

My tip - follow this guy's tips. Especially the shield upgrades, Spartan Core upgrades will really help you overall so be sure to prioritize them when you're exploring the open world.

[onyx latch]

2fort moment

[karmic oriole]

BTB heavies refresh... anyone know what happened to it?

[sturdy kernel]

Thanks for the useful tips, I will try

[civic sundial]

[round forge]

What are Halo Infinite spartan points used for?

Just noticed they were rewards on the new BP.

[celest heron]

you use them to buy items in the exchange

[misty vale]

Bold of them to not include anything for me to actually purchase on the exchange, because I already play Halo

[celest heron]

some items will be from twitch drops

[misty vale]

They need to add some gun skins to the exchange. I don't care if they cost 50k. It's the only cosmetic I actually look at while playing.

[onyx latch]

Valid take tbh

[whole summit]

Crazy how Halo Infinte was 50 something GB now to 94 GB

[dusk thunder]

44 gigs of shop updates

[ruby lake]

oh my god

69gb

for what?

[coarse dagger]

What do you mean?

[ruby lake]

i just looked at the size of halo infinite

[coarse dagger]

Forge assets could very well be a chunk of that

[ruby lake]

huh

[civic sundial]

They did add a whole bunch of new stuff there

[ruby lake]

o h

[celest heron]

adding more content over time increases the amount of gb's. news at 11

[neon jasper]

I need.to figure.out.how.to.use the forge

[hollow grove]

are the s1 tenrai items gonna be in the exchange

like the antlers etc

[radiant sundial]

I hope so, i want my yokai helmt

[ruby lake]

i never got the yoroi helmet

simply because i didnt have enough time to play the game

[young glen]

Maybe you're already aware but they mentioned that Tenrai items will be coming back through the exchange next operation. So I'd say there's a good chance.

[grand loom]

Hello everyone
In the long night of solace at the hangar, is there a medkit somewhere in there?

that room is EXTREMELY unfair

[radiant sundial]

Elaborate please

[celest heron]

do you mean on reach or on the covenant ship?

[tulip tusk]

i was gonna make marines enemies in a forge pve map but i really dont like shooting marines, i feel bad every time one dies

[crystal iron]

Once you bring in the pelican there’s a Medkit and ammo behind it

[empty python]

How many times can you earn the new daily challenge for Spartan points?

[spare finch]

daily challenges are once a day

so technically every day

[empty python]

I thought I got lucky and earnt it multiple times but just challenge page glitching out, realised the extra ones were from the pass

[plucky river]

next week

[regal rock]

Are servers down?

[warped verge]

nothing but premade hero rank teams on btb I love this game lol

[white birch]

It's two days into the new op, it's gonna be like that for a bit
Hit up squad battle

[warped verge]

bro wasnt fibbing

[crystal iron]

oh my god someone at 343i please realize that h3 hardcoure doubles should be one of the static playlists and should never be cycled out

realistically the ranked playlists should just be:
hardcore 3
hardcore 3 doubles
hardcore 2
hardcore 2 doubles
hardcore CE doubles
hardcore reach
no radar legendary slayer br 4 (not too much of a fan of this one but w/e)

CE, 2, and 3 don't need MLG settings to be competitive but let's just use them to stay on theme. they do add some improvements though

[fringe wren]

Capture the Flag but more intense

[turbid flume]

hi, in halo infinite how many max no of players v players can be in a single match? i mean whats the max team size considering all game modes?

[turbid flume]

Also does this game have any consistent progression which we get to carry for next pvp matches? like unlocks new units or skills or weapons or upgrades or litle bit of unit stats etc?

[civic sundial]

Halo is about equal starts, so each new match you start with the same weapons as everyone else (Unless you're playing Husky Raid or Fiesta where weapons are random)

And you're not gonna be unlocking new characters to play as, it ain't a hero shooter

You also don't unlock skills, you find equipment on the map and use that

[turbid flume]

ty

[sturdy kernel]

Welp
It's time now
I feel so nervous, a little bit, but i will do this

[civic sundial]

You're gonna be fine

You're wearing Mjolnir armour and carrying deadly weapons

[sturdy kernel]

The only thing what i need its infinite ammo

[civic sundial]

Gotta get the Bandanna skull for that

[slow walrus]

why did they remove xp from daily and weekly challenges?

I don't even want to play anymore, this sucks

[sturdy kernel]

Yay
I found it

Now, the next target: Heroic difficulty

[zealous panther]

I feel like heroic is what every halo game should be played

[civic sundial]

That's the difficulty they're designed around, at least in the Bungie days

[sturdy kernel]

I think the shock grenade is little op

[blissful vortex]

Only from the daily no?

They replaced it w sp

[zealous panther]

Sadly they are.

[slow walrus]

yeah it's a bad change, really kills any motivation I would have had to play everyday

[zealous panther]

I mean they changed this to fomo basically, because you for sure need this 250 everyday if you want to get this 30k coating.

[blissful vortex]

Or just finish 2 passes and dont play in between, but tbh the new color looks bad anyways

[slow walrus]

it's like every update since season 4 ended has actively made the game worse

what an awful feeling

[zealous panther]

Which will take you longer then before and also at least month and few weeks

I mean if we consider to playing them when they came out.

[blissful vortex]

Fair, but my point was doing it without daily 250sp fomo thingy

[zealous panther]

And also this is just one item. No more weekly rewards or something.

To be fair there is other items, that more cheap... Like backdrop for 1500 lol

[blissful vortex]

Imo thats debatable, this way we wont get nameplates that noone will use at least

Idk, im happy w the exchange, but yeah I can def see why someone thats not new would hate it

[slow walrus]

It's gonna be an even worse grind since 70% of each pass has been replaced by SP filler, meaning that if you thought you could make the grind more tolerable by using 2x XP, the only way to get more from now on is by spending money

[zealous panther]

I would like to buy old stuff I didn't get. But... The amount of currency and the price is abominable. This is actually arguably worse thing ow2

[blissful vortex]

If they would add a 50 or 100sp reward per match it would be nice

[zealous panther]

I need to calculate this but I'm almost sure if we consider something like whole armour pack it will cost waaay more grind then 1 legendary skin grind in ow2

[blissful vortex]

Def not

You can play a husky raid for the daily which is like 5 minutes, the weeklies are like 2 hours overall, and you get 15k from the pass.

[zealous panther]

28500 per month. Still not enough for that coating tho. If we add the pieces like 7500 per piece like that attachment... Tis is A LOT

[blissful vortex]

Can we stop talking like every color is 30k bruh, its an ugly one anyways

[zealous panther]

My apologies not per month, per operation

[blissful vortex]

Just because a ferrari is expensive it doesnt mean card are unaffordable

[zealous panther]

Why we need stop talking about it? You don't like it, that's fair, but what if someone like it. The price is not consistent so it can be more it can be less, and even if we take 10k coating it's still outrageous.

[misty vale]

No. You can't grind a legendary skin in ow in less than 12 weeks.

[zealous panther]

yes. But this is whole skin. Not one piece of the shoulder.

[misty vale]

What shoulder is on the exchange did i miss one

[civic sundial]

They used a shoulder as an example

[zealous panther]

utility. 7500 for example. if you add every piece of whole set of armour how much it can be?

[misty vale]

Infinity, because there is not a whole set of armor

[zealous panther]

bleh. do not be dishonest to yourself

[misty vale]

Because I'm not willing to invent a situation that might happen to upset myself?

What item on the exchange are you feeling fomo for

The only one I don't have already from playing the fun game is this needler needle attachment, which is 6k

[zealous panther]

sure. this is good for you

[misty vale]

24 days of 1 game eqch day, getting 0 challenges done, is 3.5 weeks

So the theoretical max for a set is what 18 weeks? A good ow legendary takes 34 weeks to grind out and the time sink to do those weeklies is like 5x halo

[civic sundial]

I do think the pricing or the amount of points you earn needs tweaking but it's hardly the worst thing ever

Especially since when items in the exchange are rotated out, they're still obtainable via the customisation menu

[misty vale]

Halo is vastly, incredibly more generous than ow

Ow a fun game to tho

[zealous panther]

it is not. It is worse then before, but it is not the worst. But again, i just hate being pushed to play every day so i just peace out.

this system should be added on top of what was before. not instead

[civic sundial]

You say that like there's nothing to earn within the game for free

[misty vale]

He just wants to complain

[zealous panther]

look, before it was guaranteed something every week, now you will get some currency that is not enough to buy something meaningful in one week

[misty vale]

I'm going to debate with you that ugly keychains and backdrops were "something"

about as worth it as a "GOOD JOB SPARTAN" pop up imo

I think that, worldwide, the number of people who equipped a chess piece keychain was <5

[zealous panther]

yeah they are worthless for sure. but again for example last week was really good one. and this can be a gamble 10k or 30k when it came into exchange.

and this is basically what 4 weeks of farm or so

at least

[misty vale]

but again, the game gave you something for logging in which is better

than basically anything on the exchange that is 30k

[civic sundial]

I'm gonna be completely real, I'm just gonna be grinding and waiting for when Mark V Zeta comes into the exchange, grabbing it and living my life

[misty vale]

not that either of those things mean anything, you don't see anything other than the gun skin, and weapon/equipment effects, in the game itself

and so those are the only cosmetics I care about at all because otherwise what am I doing I'm looking at myself in a mirror. Nobody else in the game cares what your guy looks like

[zealous panther]

eh. i just uninstalled the game yesterday. 3 years is enough.

will be playing mcc

[misty vale]

oh so you just came in here to be sad and spread misery

good luck with that, I'm sorry that you can't play a fun game unless it has a sufficient dopamine treadmill, you should work on that. Have fun playing MCC.

[zealous panther]

yeah. i still have about 60 achievements to do

out of 700

[misty vale]

Just make sure that you enjoy playing a game, and aren't playing simply because "there's something to do". That's how you get addicted to the dopamine treadmill is that you let the game tell you when you had fun.

[zealous panther]

Just enjoying the game is not enough. If i can work toward something and enjoying or just enjoying i will probably choose the first option.

[civic sundial]

I have been balancing between Halo and a few other games as of late because it's just better than playing one game endlessly

[misty vale]

the perfect customer.

[civic sundial]

Like, I'm gearing up for the release of Star Wars Hunters in June by reinstalling Battlefront II and playing Republic Commando for the first time while also playing Genshin Impact so I'm not just playing shooters

[zealous panther]

hardly. mcc is is one time buy and yet i get way more hours in it

[white birch]

Darktide just got stuff too so thats fun

[sturdy kernel]

Without recharge of grapeshot I'm feeling like using odmg gear from anime Attack on Titan

[onyx latch]

Well, earlier this month it did at least

[fallen flame]

Hoping Darktide really picks up this year

[white birch]

Im having fun with it. I like the fact theres not a million things you have to do oddly enough.

[onyx latch]

I like the fact I can still jump in Auric and carry even when I'm rusty because most players kinda mid.

[white birch]

I guess most of the really good players all got bored and left?

[onyx latch]

Maybe?

Or I'm just weirdly good at Auric. Or maybe shoutspam Vet is OP.

[white birch]

Shoutspam is pretty pog.

[abstract mural]

Has anyone else been playing husky raid and constantly getting matches where on the last flag capture you get a team mate that won’t put down the flag to farm kills, or worse so, the receiving end if that?

[white birch]

Its been that way since the mode launched and Hero became a target.

[abstract mural]

I guess I have just barely run into a lot more matches of that than usual

[white birch]

Its the start of a new operation, that doesnt help.

[abstract mural]

Yeah, i wish their was a way to fix it, but realistically not

[limpid lance]

For those hoping Halo 7 would drop the live service format/model, it seems they're pushing forward with it https://jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/1713058/Senior-Product-Manager

[limpid python]

i am ok with that is just that things should be day one, and not two years later

also 343 if you want more money add diferent hud for the next halo

(i play in halo 2 with elite for the purple color of the hud)

[young glen]

This isn't anything shocking tbh.

[white birch]

I dont think you can launch a game and NOT have it be live service these days.
Doing so is just...lost free money in essence.

The issue isnt if its a live service. Its if its a GOOD live service.
Hopefully the hiccups with Infinite smoothed things out.

[misty vale]

Why would they do halo not as a live service? Halo fans are suckers, and like the hardest community of suckers I've seen, for cosmetics

[abstract mural]

I mean helldivers is a great live service

[misty vale]

yes it is

why? Because they're rolling out new guns every month, and not $38 skins

however, I saw a 4 pack of halos in husky raid yesterday all 4 with the $38 skin on

in conclusion: they do it do you because you tell them you want it.

[limpid lance]

After The Final Shape, Destiny 2 is moving from seasons to what they’re calling episodes
And with Destiny 2 really being the big live service game, we’ll see if this is a successful change, and if other games will follow this direction, including Halo

[ruby lake]

[forest smelt]

Does Halo Infinite have a hit reg issue? Feel like my bullets vanish like casper…

[vale swallow]

I believe that's called the desync issue☝️

[sullen ferry]

Does anyone know if they have a halo 5 chat?

[forest smelt]

Any fix or just delete the game 😂

[onyx latch]

Nope, Halo 5 is in the no talky pit.

[blissful vortex]

I like the new colors that they gave us

[vale swallow]

According to 343, it's your fault so just adjust and stuff.

[sullen ferry]

Ok

[vale swallow]

Either that, or it's an unsolvable algorithm they'll tell ya.

[young glen]

There's a discussion thread in the #1076337363770417172 forums. Here: https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1083073036082749531

Otherwise you can use the #1076337363770417172 forums to talk about Halo 5 specifically or talk about Halo 5 here.

[vale swallow]

Halo 5 felt like a space shooter being viewed through an opaque smudgy lens. But, it was fun, and more likable than you think.

[sullen ferry]

Ok thanks

[sullen ferry]

It was my favorite halo mp next to reach

[vale swallow]

Yea had some premium technicality to it

[forest smelt]

Wow! I don’t seem to have this issue on MCC. I’ll do some research online and find some tips to cope with it

[civic sundial]

Ignore what they said, if you're having issues, make a bug report on the support site

[sullen ferry]

I loved playing ghoast busters and ro sham Bo that’s why I joined I wanna get some of those customs going again

[forest smelt]

I can’t imagine I would get a response. Just looked online and seems to be a common thing. Will be a waste of my time sadly

[ruby knoll]

They never said this.

[civic sundial]

Mudila loves to spread misinformation

[ruby lake]

mudila the non reliable

(episode 1)

[coarse dagger]

Every ticket is worth submitting, they absolutely do help. You may not get an immediate response or there may not be an actionable solution to your issue, but the more data points 343 have to work with, the easier it can be to track down and solve problems

[misty vale]

Simulation ultra; get fast Internet.

[zealous dagger]

Is the mark 6 Gen 3 helmet still in infinite?

I thought it was in the lone wolves battle pass but now it’s gone

Like if you had the pass can you still get the helm if it comes back?

Nvm found it

[vale swallow]

We need 2 weapons by end of year.

• single shot shotgun
• smg

[limpid lance]

I honestly bet no more guns are coming to the game

The Bandit Evo was the last weapon we’re getting

[onyx latch]

So two basic weapons that offer nothing exceptionally new or mechanically interesting to the sandbox?

"One shot kill shotty!" - Cool, but we already have two heavy melees that fulfill this role.
"SMG" - Okay, but we already have the Sentinel Beam and Needler.

On the one hand-Absolutely agree that we need more 'soft' slot weapon variance. I would love both.

On the other, what's needed is more mechanically interesting and eye-catching guns, not weapons that don't bring much new to the table.

[left snow]

What does "soft slot" mean?

[onyx latch]

Sorry, soft being 'non-power'.

[crystal iron]

Like the plasma rifle and carbine?

[onyx latch]

P much.

[crystal iron]

Nice

Spiker could be fun

[left snow]

Now that we have a different networking model - I would like to see 343 see if they can rework "damage over time" back into the disruptor.

[meager path]

I know there’s a lot of weapons halo fans want in infinite but for the devs they can’t just drop them into the game randomly without thinking of how that weapon fits in the sandbox or if it’s even useful or not.

[left snow]

I think that the Halo sandbox is big enough, and versatile enough to allow more weapon variation.

A balanced sandbox is important. Don't get me wrong. But only in the context of the map / mode.

For example. If a map/mode suits a sniping weapon - I don't think it matters that much if said weapon is UNSC, Covenant, or Forerunner. Or if that weapon is a minor variant of the classic. As long as it fits the role (in this case, sniping) and it's fair for both sides.

And if you end up choosing a slightly OP version of the sniper - you can ease the sandbox down by making sure that other classes of weapons are slightly toned down. Or even just softening the weapon itself by including a bit less ammo.

[lusty wraith]

Classic shotty would be the one gun I’d say is worth adding to the game at this point, but I’m still of the “let’s move on to 7” crowd

Bulldog in infection is 😔

[analog salmon]

my hot take is variants are bland

i'd much rather have a few more weapons in the game then the dozen+ variants we have

i just cant feel remotely excited about a BR that shoots slight faster or whatever

i'll give something like the lock-on rocket launcher a pass

but pretty much all the other variants i wouldnt miss at all

the swords and the hammers are also cool just for the aesthetic and lore significance

[ruby knoll]

Skill issue

[manic wing]

Maybe we need mechanically different variants

[ruby knoll]

So

[manic wing]

say like a covenant carbine that can supercombine

[ruby knoll]

blood of suban?

[manic wing]

wait is that just the needle rifle i didnt play reach

[manic wing]

i didnt play h5 either does blood of suban do that

imagine if the ravager rebound exploded every time the shot bounced…. ravager but awesome

[ruby knoll]

Yes

[analog salmon]

i'd honestly just rather have weapons with distinct roles

variants just always end up being buffed versions in some way

of course there's always going to be overlap between weapons, but when you add variants there's just so much overlap

[rugged quartz]

Halo 5 variants were amazing so, no let's have variants, good variants

[analog salmon]

each to their own i guess

i think they tried with the shock rifle and impact commando to make something unique

but neither did it for me

even if 5 had more polish to the variants, it just doesnt really create the weapon sandbox i'm looking for. weapons having trade offs and not just upgrading from one pickup to the next

[paper estuary]

Hmmm looking at the Halo Evolution Videos

Had a question. What’s your favourite overall in the franchise?

Mine is DMR in all variants because of semi-auto firing. Similar to the SAR-21 and Tavor

[rugged quartz]

Halo 5 did a much much better job

also... they should be upgrades, not trade offs, thats what variants should do

[zealous panther]

Trade offs is more interesting

[rugged quartz]

trade off make a different weapon

DMR/BR

Assault rifle/pulse carbine/suppressor

[analog salmon]

I'd take the bandit over the entire arsenal of weapon variants in Infinite's campaign

[rugged quartz]

they didnt do a great job with the variants in campaign

except a few fun onees

[analog salmon]

i just dont think its really possible to make good distinct variants that aren't just buffed

when you do make something distinct, at that point you might as well make it its own weapon with its own lore

like the carbine to the needle rifle

much more interesting to me then just making a carbine have super combine

You can tell Infinite's variants were just filler content compared to 5 though, no doubt 5 had a lot more work put into them

[zinc flax]

When can we post images

[sturdy kernel]

I don't known why, but i feel so much pain about Noble Team on Halo Reach
So sad, so much pain...

[zealous panther]

But why? They are hardly a characters.

[civic sundial]

People get attached to background characters in Star Wars, it's surprising people would get attached to the main characters of a Halo game, regardless of how much they change over the course of the story

[paper estuary]

Needlers are so so

Plasma Rifles are the best

Anyways, how does the Brute Ravagers compared to the Spikers?

[civic sundial]

One's a burst fire plasma grenade launcher, the other's an SMG

[crystal iron]

I just thought of something.
How would you guys feel about the next Halo having Battlefield-like environmental destruction in some regard?

Like it wouldn't be for every single map(cause that could get VERY chaotic), but it would for a few maps?
(or better yet, it would be a playlist/mode)

[civic sundial]

I don't need that for Halo to be good

Like, I think that the destructible pieces we got in Halo 5 were good enough and should've been incorporated into more maps, so I wouldn't mind seeing something similar incorporated into the next game but I don't need skyscrapers or entire bridges that fall apart after too much gunfire in a Halo

[crystal iron]

Solid reasoning.

[plucky patrol]

There was a CSR reset with the update on Tuesday, right? Are there new ranked emblems now or are they still using the Spirit of Fire-themed ones?

[sturdy kernel]

Welp, Halo Infinite Heroic Difficulty is almost done, it took ~3 days(yesterday, today, tomorrow)

[spare finch]

do laso

[livid fable]

yup

variants are possibly a problem in games where multiple variants of the same weapon exists for pickup and both are supposed to be the same tier, but given infinite's weapon spawning by type system, seems like a big nothing burger to have multiple weapons with overlap

like, shotgun at the bottom of bazaar? It's either going to be the scattershot or the bulldog. Nothing else goes there. (Though mangler maybe should.) Introducing other types of shotguns won't push those two out of usefulness because you'll never be choosing between them in standard matches- there's going to be one kind of shotgun there.

The more weapon variety that exists, the bigger the benefit to scouting the map to see what's out there.

[spiral oyster]

bring ce magmum back

i miss heating headshots and cooking

[misty vale]

Make pc players love you, 343i, bring back Magnum

[sturdy kernel]

Does it mean I need to find all the skulls on legendary difficulty?(Halo infinite)

[short basalt]

So is this anti cheat preventing people from playing Campaign this pervasive? I dl'ed the game thru gamepass and I cant boot the game at all, and seems like very few people are talking online about this

[woeful wigeon]

so many bugs I don't know where to begin, nor do I want to begin

[onyx latch]

So you don't want to begin, and you don't want to help, so you want to provide net zero benefit.

At least you got the uselessness of your statement out of the way.

[woeful wigeon]

yes, I want to complain and not help, because 343 doesn't deserve it and the bugs are so simple they should be ashamed of themselves for not testing and/or releasing

[onyx latch]

I wish I could naturally generate that ridiculous of a take.

[woeful wigeon]

are 343 paying me? no

I am paying them. I do not work for them.

[onyx latch]

I'd be a much more interesting person if I could be that useless.

I can't imagine condoning being so objectively useless.

[woeful wigeon]

filing a bug does nothing anyway, they just close it without fixing it, their process deincentivizes people from reporting

[onyx latch]

Actually, no, I can imagine that. I can't imagine being so childish that I'd enact such uselessness.

[signal ivy]

this is just not correct

filing bug reports absolutely does help

but if you dont' report them, guess what

nothing happens

[onyx latch]

No but you see that's what makes 343i weak and bad

They don't know my problem without a report? They are weak.

[woeful wigeon]

actually I had a ticket that went unfixed for years and they kept trying to close it and I had to reopen. guess what they never fixed it.

[signal ivy]

what was the bug

[onyx latch]

Saying so little with so much.

Continued silence.

Fascinating. I'm sure that ticket was substantial now, absolutely.

[woeful wigeon]

not going to engage further other than to say it says a lot about you that you want to shout down someone because they are unwilling to spend their valuable time doing 343's job for them

[onyx latch]

So you decide to say nothing.

It's a ridiculous stance. I wish you success in the future.

But I don't forecast success if that's your default behavior.

[white birch]

Must not be bothering them enough not to play cause Discord says they're on Infinte right now

[onyx latch]

Infinitely amazing.

[frozen prairie]

[civic sundial]

Don't need to find them on legendary luckily

Halo 5: Guardians legendary solo… stuck on this stupid Hunter pair… my guns are inefficient…

[fair birch]

the MCC multiplayer is still being played or no

[civic sundial]

Which Hunter pair? You fight multiple in the game

[short flower]

Mission 2.

[short flower]

And I looked up, Halo 5 has at least one skull that can be found only on Legendary.

(Whoops ping)

[civic sundial]

There should be shotguns and railguns in that room

[short flower]

Oh… well just saying I guess those could support…

MCC campaign reviews so far:
Halo 1, 2.5 stars
Halo 2, 3 stars
Halo 3, 4 stars

[civic sundial]

I assume you're going onto ODST next?

[spiral citrus]

Yeah just starting

Not wild about the HUD in 3 or ODST

[civic sundial]

Which one is your favourite so far?

[spiral citrus]

3 so far 👍🏻

[civic sundial]

Oh I was asking about the HUD specifically

[spiral citrus]

Oh, first two seemed fine. 3 adds the visor lines. In general I don't like any more HUD than necessary

[celest heron]

I'd guess campaign related. I don't think any of mine got fixed after keeping them open for over a year, but probly due to them laying off people.

[crystal iron]

@onyx latch good grief man let the guy leave with some of his ego

[spiral citrus]

I'm on 3 bars of health

[civic sundial]

Do you have a plasma pistol and a precision weapon?

Because that's the best way of clearing the hangar

I'm going to give my top 5 list of games Halo got better and for the worst here it goes: Reach> Halo 3> Halo 4> Halo Guardians> Halo infinite. Sorry for the long time in typing I was looking for the greater than symbol on my keyboard. Lol and as for the multiplayer the best multiplayer of all time hands down goes to Reach.

[vale swallow]

halo 3 has so much vibe bro

[civic sundial]

Define what you mean by vibe

[sturdy kernel]

I don't know why but I feel like depression and empty
Because maybe soon I will finish Halo infinite on every possible difficulty?

And I don't know what I will do after finishing
I'm crying

[sturdy kernel]

Losing Halo would be hard for me

[civic sundial]

LASO

I did it and it wasn't too bad

[serene badger]

Yep. I feel you @sturdy kernel. I am a heavy campaign player.
I am still replaying the campaign, putting restrictions on myself each time i play it.

Also, to scratch that itch:
Go to multiplayer, custom games, choose map, search, and search for "operation" and "campaign"

You will find a large selection of fan made infinite campaign levels . Some are very well made.
My friend and I play them each weekend to get our campaign fix.
It works as they are new and take you to a variety of places.

[humble vine]

@soft yarrow @signal ivy ya'll wanna hop on halo?

[rocky cipher]

Tank gun + infinite dynamo nades made it entirely too easy lol

[civic sundial]

I lost my tank gun part way through but still did fine thanks to a SPNKR

[rocky cipher]

arcane sentinel beam + tracking spanker is basically the same as having the tank gun

honestly might even be more convenient for hyperius and tovarus since you dont run the risk of launching them to another halo ring

[white birch]

Arcane Sentinel Beam is nasty.

[crystal iron]

Grab a razorback, fill it up with marines holding arcane sentinel beams

Works like a charm

[inland minnow]

repost for the embed (: nice work

[jade pebble]

thanks!!

not sure why they dont show here. setting maybe?

[signal ivy]

embeds are disabled for normal users

[inland minnow]

yup, gotta be inheritor or staff to embed

[crystal iron]

give me embed and nobody else. trust

[spare finch]

they're most likely gonna go "no sir"

[crystal iron]

yee of little faith

[jade pebble]

how to inherit

[crystal iron]

gotta beat all of the halos laso

[jade pebble]

incredible

[sullen kiln]

Inheritors are folks with veterancy, a record of good behavior, and currently active

[jade pebble]

my love of swearing is a large obstacle

[analog salmon]

being able to moderate your language is a good skill in life

[jade pebble]

its a joke

[analog salmon]

it wasnt for me lol, i had to conciously learn not to swear in the wrong situations after growing up on Xbox Live lol

[slim flint]

how long would veterancy be?

[sturdy kernel]

Oh,
I know what I would do after finishing Legendary difficulty
I will do every save and get 100% progress bar

[sturdy kernel]

This is my target now

[proper gale]

I have a question. Does Halo ever address the possibility that the flood has already infected other galaxies and could always just come back to the milky way?

[white birch]

Yes. The Flood never left the Milky Way. The Flood is the result of the Precursors attempting to test thr Forerunners and Humanity.

The likelihood is about the same as the Tyranids having eaten everything else around the 40k Milky Way (spoiler: they didn't, they got smacked by Szareck so bad they circled the galaxy looming for a way to slip past him)

[lusty wraith]

Could say that gravemind implies this in 3

"Defeat is simply the addition of time to a sentence I never deserved"

As an aside I really preferred how gravemind's voice sounded in 2 vs 3, in 3 it almost sounds like he's reciting quotes in a theater, sounds cool but less 'flood-y' imo

[sharp smelt]

In halo infinite it's better to play with keyboard or controller?

[blissful vortex]

whatever u prefer

[sturdy kernel]

Your choice

[neon jasper]

So I know everyone is saying COD for the Xbox showcase but those wolves they show look similar to the Halo Infinite Wolf emblems

[ruby knoll]

It's not halo. Capitol in the bg

[neon jasper]

ah yea Ok i see it

[drowsy nest]

agreed

[spare finch]

Your choice, though i'd say you can get higher accuracy with keyboard, downside being strafing is less doable

[analog salmon]

I think the most recent update fixed VRR in 120fps mode?

Panning around I ain’t getting judder when it drops

Yeah it’s fixed 😄

I went on oasis turned on raytraced shadows and panned around in the middle bit

No judder can’t even tell the frame rate is dropping to ~110fps

I feel like CU32 fixed so many of my little gripes with this game 🙂

[wintry fractal]

Whos tryna play customs rn lol

[steady sequoia]

Anyone elses servers going down right now?

[tulip tusk]

Yea it crashed for a bit now it's down again for me

[tulip tusk]

I'll be hosting a custom campaign soonish!

[zealous dagger]

Does anybody know the song while in the lobby of infinite with the guitars?

[tulip tusk]

cant tell which u mean but try searching for it in this video, a comment listed the tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afwNIRwDies&ab_channel=ArturBloodshot

[zealous dagger]

Ok thanks 🙏

[low hollow]

hey so im trying to get some halo 2A multiplayer achievements done but i am wondering what most people still playing halo 2 would have the game size set to?
4v4 or 8p ffa, etc?
i rarely find any matches 😦

[low hollow]

either the game is full of bloody cheaters or controllers bend bullets around corners and give people aimbot and wallhacks. sniped across the map when no one has line of sight of me and how could they possibly know where i am especially if i just spawned and im just surrounded by obstacles

[frosty condor]

Btb is probably your best bet during peak NA hours

[hardy belfry]

Most of people play 4v4 I think

[low hollow]

idk how im supposed to get achievements done when i barely even find a game and if i do it's almost impossible to walk around a corner without getting shot even before i turn the corner
perhaps it's latency

[crystal iron]

So Lucid is right and I see it now. 343 has given up on Halo. Looking at it now makes sense. They brought "The Exchange" to Halo Infinite. When 343 brought "The Exchange" to MCC it died out. Notice the content not being there anymore and 343 relying on "Forge" kids to make maps.

You can't tell me I am wrong. The player count has gone down significantly. I remember the days of playing OG Halo 3 and finding a game no matter what time it was. I struggle now late at night trying to find a game in ranked or in socials. I know people don't game as much anymore but 343 has to do something about the player base leaving. If the player base completely dies out then no one will come back to Halo and they will move on

I've been playing Halo since Halo 1. It is sad to see my favorite game go down the drain

343 needs to find a spark or something to get players back into the game.

I spend countless hours playing Halo cause it is my favorite game and it's hard to do that when there is no one to play the game on the other end

[civic sundial]

If 343i had completely given up on Halo, why are they hiring for a new Halo project?

Surely if they'd given up and weren't going to make a new project, they'd be closing doors

[crystal iron]

They are closing the door on Infinite. If they are focusing on other things then they need to bring in another company to help. Infinite is in a good state but the networking, bullet reg, playlist updates, content all needs to change.

Every game currently is going through the same thing

[civic sundial]

Your original phrasing was this, that's very different to saying they giving up on Infinite

[crystal iron]

I should have phrased that differently but didn't know I had to be specific. Usually when you say "Halo" people know you are talking about Halo Infinite

[jade pebble]

no yea you have to say halo infinite

to say they give up on halo its talking about the franchise

[noble urchin]

getting gungoose on launch site in firefight then losing wifi connection is true pain

[slim flint]

if you just say halo I think you mean MCC

[sturdy kernel]

Welp, today I end Legendary difficulty

[cunning jungle]

Is there a way to take a clean picture of you and your squad in infinite in the menus without there being a UI?

[sturdy kernel]

Escharum fight legendary difficulty zero death

[crystal iron]

Yeah, Infinite really is just one big "?" at this time.

Either Infinite still has "big ticket item" plans on the way and it's just taking more time than we thought it would, or it's on the backburner and the full focus is on the next game.

Or(and somebody suggested this theory) they are trying to balance work on Infinite and the next game at the same time, and they're slowly adding more "big time" items to Infinite as a "lead up" for until the next game takes center stage.

Me personally, if I was in 343's spot, I would go ahead with adding in all the big ticket stuff to Infinite(stuff like assassinations, possibly elites, new weapons, vehicles, those cool things and such) and then going full throttle with the next game once we have done all we could reasonably do with Infinite.

That's what I think the best route to go down would be: Add everything that people want to see in Infinite, then once the community is pretty nicely satisfied with the state of the game, THEN you go full throttle with the next game.

[loud wharf]

okay so realistically the only way we’d get assassinations is if we told 343 we’d pay stupid amounts of money

[crystal iron]

Well... yeah, I think it's obvious if assassinations get added, they WILL be present in the shop.

You got some assassinations already unlocked, but if you want some wacky/insane looking ones, those would likely be in the shop.

[loud wharf]

also they’re playing w us we wanted playable elites so far we have playable “grunts” and playable “brutes” and an elite esk christmas helmet

[crystal iron]

Well, if they were to be working on playable elites, that would definitely take some time. It's a possibility that the reason we just haven't heard anything about it as of recent(apart from NDA shenanigans), is because they've been working on them and they just want to make sure that it ACTUALLY functions well.

In all honesty, it would be an extremely questionable decision to stay quiet about something if it's NOT coming to the game.

[loud wharf]

you would like to think they’d try to get it polished

[crystal iron]

Definitely.

[loud wharf]

i mean 343 is improving their way of handling content

my hopes arnt to high for the future but there definitely not as low as the last year or so

[crystal iron]

Last time elites were mentioned(which is very close to a year ago), it was ske7ch saying that it wasn't an active priority due to all the other problems they were dealing with. (5/19/2023)

"I'll just give it to you straight - playable Elites are not in active development. We know it's something that some players are super passionate about but we have a long list of things to go after and this isn't a priority today." (5/19/2023 2:46 PM)

[loud wharf]

yeah surely most of those problems have been sorted

like that was a year ago by now you’d hope they’d sorted some stuff out

[coarse dagger]

There's still match composer in development

[crystal iron]

Well yeah.

But honestly, though I do understand the argument of "elites/assassinations(and other things) shouldn't be a main priority at the time, there's so many other things to deal with" feels weird right now.

In my opinion, the "functionality" issues that Infinite had are (for the most part) dealt with, so I think it's important to now try and go full speed ahead with the "content" issues.

And if you're wondering about what was said about assassinations:
"Currently, assassinations are not in active development." (05/19/2023 2:47 PM)

[loud wharf]

i feel like the theory someone else suggested is the most likely but i wouldn’t be suprised if infinite was on the back burner as the need a player base back and the best way to do that is to realise a good polished game from launch no matter how long think about gta 6 their taking their time but u bet they’ll do it right and no one’s upset with the wait time bc they understand that yk

[crystal iron]

Yeah, it would make sense to try and focus on rebuilding goodwill with the community with Infinite, especially now.

[sturdy kernel]

Legendary difficulty beaten
It was hard, but I dont want to leave this game

[crystal iron]

It wouldn't really make much sense to slow down hard with Infinite and risk the goodwill with the community and just go straight to the next game. It's an unnecessary risk, in my opinion.

[civic sundial]

Do LASO

[crystal iron]

So I do believe the theory that there are still big things coming to Infinite(it's just taking some time), and once the community is pretty nicely satisfied and happy with the game, then they will go full throttle with the next game.

[civic sundial]

Saying that armour pieces inspired by armour worn by other species is basically adding those species is misleading, those armour pieces aren't meant to be seen as equivalent to adding in new species

[civic sundial]

I hope there is something coming, I need something new in Infinite that's not Forge maps, even if it's just an SMG

[crystal iron]

It's important to have hope and to make your voice heard.

[civic sundial]

Believe me, I know

I'm just tired of seeing people making all sorts of claims that "Halo is dead!" or "343i are being taken off of Halo" based on lack of evidence and lack of logical thinking

[sturdy kernel]

Who is it "Meril" ang "Mighty Edikt"?

[spiral citrus]

Finished Halo 4, 3 stars

Reach > 3 > ODST > 2 > 4 > 1. Final answer

[halcyon kraken]

This might be a dumb question but Is infinites multiplayer good now?

[shadow turret]

Yes.
It can still be annoying or laggy at times, but its a million miles better than even S4 or 5 was for performance

[tulip tusk]

customs are a lot of fun too people have made tons of ai campaigns and firefights

[fallen flame]

I just really want sandbox and more dev btb maps

One thing infinite is missing is nice new weapons and vehicles and btb dev maps

Just having operations and forge maps is just not it really and the operations are super poor atm and we get even less stuff from them now

[civic sundial]

I would love for there to be some kind of mode akin to Spartan Ops, though with a larger focus on quality than the original mode from H4. Honestly I kinda wish that was what Operations were

Though I don't think we'll be seeing anything like that at this point

Which is a shame

[fallen flame]

I've been loving infinite ever since it came out but ever since that spirit of fire livestream i just haven't got the same feeling anymore

[civic wedge]

Will the exchange system get event items? From my understanding it has new items and passed weekly rewards however will it give rewards given through events such as fractures of tenrai?

[young glen]

They said Tenrai items are coming in the next rotation.

[civic wedge]

Sweet, Thanks

[neon jasper]

What about 5

[spiral citrus]

Not in MCC sadly

Turns out I have copies of Halo 1 & 2 on xbox but im pretty certain i didnt get around to playing them then

Also I no longer have an xbox

[neon jasper]

Yea I've got the MCC on Xbox but haven't used a controller in so long so I dunno if I wanna try it on they're it just download the collection from games pass

[civic sundial]

Can't you use KB&M on Xbox MCC these days?

[limpid python]

you can i use it

i play on xbox series s mcc mouse and keywoard and control both

[civic sundial]

Thought so, guess that's an option for @neon jasper

[neon jasper]

Probably could but setup isn't really ideal for it

[open tinsel]

Who voices Iratus? The only site that says anything is the Villians Wiki Fandom, which says “S. Weyte” is the VA, this however is incorrect, he voices a different Iratus from a different game.

[lime robin]

@weary pier If you don't know this, no one does

[crystal iron]

I kinda feel like they should try to update the Exchange more often(maybe), at least in the early stages. (I'm just thinking about the pros and cons of that route)

But as long as the Exchange updates are nicely sizable, it should be fine. Having a large amount of stuff added in with each update would be good.

[open tinsel]

The only other thing I can think of at this point is asking Axis Studios, who made the season 3 cinematic.

[spiral citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-like-the-sound-of-that-jerry-edgar-bosch-that-doesnt-sound-good-that-sounds-bad-gif-21885289

[weary pier]

I'll investigate

This reminds me Halo Infinites credits need a lil fix up

[weary pier]

Yea no idea

Halo is kinda weird for some releases. (Especially Fireteam Raven)

So we dont know who voices the Seasonal narrative crew.

(Unless they said it)

[neon jasper]

my lord 100 levels in those earlier seasons lol

[shadow turret]

did them all in like 3 days lol

[neon jasper]

they got some good looking gear in there too

[open tinsel]

Real shame, they’re great at voice acting tbh

[rigid iron]

Guys i need people on europe server

[regal rock]

I wish I could go through life with this much blind optimism

Like a golden retriever

[low hollow]

is there even a fix to that respawn bug like whole teams cant spawn into a game
or we spawn in and just randomly die to nothing and then can't respawn, it's stuck on 0 seconds

[true knot]

boo

[foggy torrent]

It

Has a lot more content versus a few months ago

It's fun, really, custom games ( if there was a decent browser...) would be popping

[slim compass]

back items in halo infinite like halo 3

[maiden ocean]

hey mad noob question but any favourite halo infinite custom game modes for like 6 friends to play?

we've played a few infection custom modes and duck hunt but wondering if any of y'all got any personal favourites

[crystal iron]

HaloWare (v1 and v2)

It’s a halo version of WarioWare; you basically play smaller mini games within the game mode from things like jump on the platform before time runs out or kill the other sabres

Oh infinite nvm

I keep forgetting infinite has a cgb

[low hollow]

why cant pc connect controller for pvp, it only works in campaign

[zinc flax]

The more I realize it

Admiral Hood could’ve gone full Ferdinand Foch on Thel and the rest of Sanghelios’ new government… God bless

He chose not to

[thorn creek]

Anybody else having desync/network issues? Me and my friend are being booted out of games, ping is showing normal speeds (45-65ms) but we keep dying to things that happen either way too soon or way too late for the visuals that we see. We’ve tried restarting the game multiple times, waited a few hours played other games flawlessly, dunno why it’s doing us like this but I just wanna play super fiesta with my girlfriend sheesh

[onyx latch]

No, he couldn't. As bad as the Ex-Covenant Sangheili were in terms of functioning, Hood's own military and government were not in a position to make demands or attempt to force direct confrontation.

Humanity had just spent nearly three decades getting the everloving piss getting kicked out of it, and the last thing Hood needed was to give the still militarily superior in terms of naval fleet assets (the only asset that actually matters) Ex-Covenant a cause to rally around instead of infighting. Even slightly attempting to make overt attempts to screw with Thel would, at best, be laughed off and treated as the jokes they were-while subsequently chilling relations.

[jade pebble]

yeah theres no way humanity couldve won that fight

I also dont see why humanity wouldve fought them

they just helped humanity win the war

[civic sundial]

Not all humans saw it that way

To be clear, the UNSC antagonising the remnants of the Covenant right after the war finished by attacking would've been a terrible idea, just not all humans saw things the way the UNSC did

[jade pebble]

Im sure theres a lot of reason to kill them all too. they had killed hundreds of millions of people

just thel alone was responsible for massive human loss

[onyx latch]

Eh, that's not... really a reason, per say. It's certainly a causus belli, but it's not one that should necessarily be acted upon.

To quote Jarvik-"Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer."

In the case of an understandable grudge between humanity and Thel-the 'honor' of avenging the billions dead is moot in the face of pragmatism and cooperation. Simply put, like, thousands of conflicts in human history, there's nothing to be gained from more killing, and it isn't the best course of action. It's just more dead.

[jade pebble]

kind of feel like thats a given

more blood spilling isnt gonna unspill the previous

[noble urchin]

double xp boosts only apply to battle passes/event passes right?

[glacial tartan]

Do you have your preferred input device set to gamepad?

[low hollow]

thanks, it works now

halo 2 lighting is so bad. and then the muzzle flash from the guns is blinding and i cant even see the crosshair or what im shooting at

[neon jasper]

Which halo was it where there was like a load out of a build you can make in PVP? Or am I misremembering it

[granite gust]

Yep. Network has been even worse since the last update

[zinc flax]

But… Foch demanded a lot of economic reparations to those that France had lost? I imagine Hood would’ve done the same when the Sangheili Government and UEG ended the war via signature (I imagine there would’ve been demands)

[onyx latch]

I explained every single reason that would be unfeasible. Unlike Focht, the UNSC did not have the blood to spill that the allies did against the Germans.

You cannot demand of a power that still has the ability to band back together to wipe your stain of a species off the map. Your best option is to continue to approach it diplomatically while you can.

[zinc flax]

Sorry… I must’ve misunderstood your answers

[onyx latch]

Basically, as a power dynamic, the UNSC did not win the HCW-they survived the HCW. They survived getting beaten within an inch of their life by an opponent who had a heart attack from how hard it was beating them.

[zinc flax]

I see what you mean now

I just thought during the end of the war, once the signing of official armistices came, humanity could’ve made demands after what it had suffered, I read it from a wiki

[onyx latch]

Yeah not trying to sound rude about it-some people take 3 and 4 and don't really think of the deeper implications of how the end of the HCW really went.

[zinc flax]

…sorry

[onyx latch]

Realistically speaking, it is not a politically possible or savvy move.

[onyx latch]

I mean that subjectively, you are not the only person and most people, understandably, don't think about it from a strongly practical perspective.

[zinc flax]

You sound very wise

Ty

[onyx latch]

No problem.

[zinc flax]

I kinda wish that Halo 5 was more focused on Thel and Locke

Master Chief and Blue Team felt out of left field and kinda soured the story for me

Like the game goes back and forth of Locke’s Campaign and Thel’s Campaign

[onyx latch]

Well, Thel's not much of an entity because his role is fundamentally different in the campaign than Locke's. Locke's reasons for helping Thel are means to an end, and both parties openly acknowledge it.

[zinc flax]

Heck…. Something deep inside me tells me that was the original script

[onyx latch]

No, original script is uh... Weirder, actually.

from what I know at any rate

[zinc flax]

Like why would Mahkee be just piloting a ship with a powerful VA? I imagine at one point she had a much larger role, even Vale’s remarks prove

[onyx latch]

Higher emphasis on Chief and Locke fighting and Chief being solo rogue.

[civic sundial]

Honestly, my hot take is Halo 5 should've had Osiris be the only playable Spartans, with Fred, Kelly and Linda helping them look for Chief

[onyx latch]

I like that take.

But then again I'm ride or die on Team Osiris, so.

[zinc flax]

Not hot take, but humble opinion

[civic sundial]

Like, give me Blue acting as mentors of sorts to Osiris because they recognise they're not a proper team

[onyx latch]

Nope, both written out of the story forever now. Bye bye.

[civic sundial]

[zinc flax]

Hey, Trench?

[onyx latch]

Bird

[zinc flax]

Oh sorry

So… are you one of the mods here?

[civic sundial]

They are not

[zinc flax]

They should be, they have a commanding presence

[onyx latch]

Nope, I just talk a ton and start too many fights.

[zinc flax]

Not really, you’re more of an arbiter or negotiator that defuses them

[civic sundial]

Even a negotiator can start a fight

[zinc flax]

I don’t mean to break the ice

[civic sundial]

I see no ice here

[zinc flax]

But what to you guys think about Sangheili x Human romance fanfics

[civic sundial]

Never read one but nothing will compare to the poem about the human named Palmer in Halo 5

[inland minnow]

you can identify mods by our roles for future reference (:

[zinc flax]

But trust and responsibility takes years to build, I think Trenchbird is deserving of that role

[zinc flax]

Someone wrote a fanfic for them, it was great, really wholesome

[civic sundial]

I've been here even longer (By three days) and I'm fine with not being a mod

[onyx latch]

Oh, no, I can't be trusted for that role, I'm unhinged.

I moderate for a few Halo subreddits, some of the same ones mods here also moderate for, and I tend to get flak for being way too quick to permanently ban people when they annoy me.

The thought's appreciated though.

[zinc flax]

But isn’t that kinda expected if the bother people? I’ve been those people before

[onyx latch]

Eh, maybe, if I wasn't a hypocrite in terms of behavior.

[zinc flax]

You seem very calm and collected

[zinc flax]

You all do in fact

[orchid pendant]

I know this is suddenly late but honestly they should've gave us spartan points for stuff in the exchange we already had.

[zinc flax]

I love you guys so much

[neon jasper]

I want my XP boosts back

[civic wedge]

Well after coming back to the game I’ve gone from bronze to almost plat in a week, The grind after that looks awful though not nearly as bad as the halo 5 xp one though, That one took a while

Getting to onyx is only 50% of the way there reminds me of halo 5 when getting to level 150 was a little less than halfway there and getting to 152 is the other 25ish million xp

[karmic verge]

think xbox's changing of how they handle clips broke halo's feature to attach screenshots to custom maps

[weak jackal]

Yeah, I hate that they did that in the first place

Didn’t seem like they had a real reason for it anyway either

[karmic verge]

yeah idk what got them to change it , lot of old clips people will lose from it

[weak jackal]

I had old Battlefield V clips where I made crazy shots and stuff like that

All gone

[karmic verge]

damn

[weak jackal]

Yea 😔

[white birch]

They didnt pull stuff yet, it should still be there.
I downloaded everything I have saved from almost 8 years of gaming to a 1 TB hard drive yesterday

[hot musk]

Hello, I have a question about a Halo game

I bought the Xbox 360 version of Halo 3 from GameStop and it only came with one disc. It says ‘Multiplayer’ at the top. Below Halo 3 it says ‘Complete Multiplayer Experience’

Is it supposed to come with a Halo 3 campaign disc or are both in one disc? I can’t verify because I don’t have my console with me until later this month

[smoky forge]

You got the Halo 3 MP disk from Halo3: ODST.

It has all the Halo 3 multiplayer map DLCS included, but there's no single player / campaign

Given that xbox live services are no longer available for Halo 3 xbox360, that will only be useful for local splitscreen or LAN play

[hot musk]

Thank you

[ruby lake]

343 on their way to make 20 weapon skins instead of making an actual weapon: 🏃‍♂️

[misty vale]

Well, when the fandom is pretty much universally addicted to cosmetics, what do you expect

[ruby lake]

i just want my fuel rod cannon to come back

the shrine is not working

[misty vale]

I also want guns, but rather than say stuff like "oh now that we have the exchange and the drastic slowdown of mostly-who-cares level cosmetics, we're going to get some sandbox additions right?"

But instead it's just like "dead game" x100 and "now no reason to play" x10,000.

This community needed to look at how helldivers fans did it.

[rugged quartz]

Cosmetics stuff has been a big part of halo throughout the years

I stil see a bunch of people mention the sandbox. But yeah, helldiver fans did a great job for sure. Inspiring

[ruby knoll]

Dad game

[weak jackal]

Then what would the Mom game be?.. 🤔

[true knot]

doom?

[weak jackal]

lol

[smoky forge]

Mom game is animal crossing new horizons?
I am sad that sandbox additions have been fairly slow.
I get that adding weapons to the game has to be considered carefully in competitive matchmaking

[foggy torrent]

People HAVE said that.

[smoky forge]

but tons of weapons to play around with in customs would have been great

[foggy torrent]

I feel it's very dismissive to say all people do is trash Infinite, that's not the case. A lot of people like the game, and the gameplay, but the lack of additions for the weapons other then the Bandit and the EVO is just very disappointing.

[smoky forge]

For instance, in trying to craft a fun PvE experience, Elites cannot use one handed weapons.
I wanted to make a more classic Covenant encounter, but the only thing I can give Elites is a plasma repeater or a sword.
That's kinda poor.

[foggy torrent]

The game other then new modes and things of the such, hasn't had anything new added to change up the sandbox much.

[smoky forge]

Yeah, a traditional plasma rifle, carbine, and fuelrod aren't super unique in the sandbox, they would have been really useful to that niche use-case

[foggy torrent]

I am actually on the boat that the Covenant weapons in Infinite are not that good.

Other then then the shock rifle and needler.

I think they should add some older Covenant weapons though, I agree.

I think the fuel rod and plasma rifle would fit a really good role.

[smoky forge]

I get that they have to prioritize their efforts, but having more options to play with in customs would be great.

The weapon combos were my stop-gap, they are neat. You can make some interesting things, like a plasma shotgun

[foggy torrent]

Honeslty, It would just be nice to know that they're exactly working on.

[smoky forge]

but the weapon combos are super limited, in that you can't control the ammo, reload rate, or fire-rate. You can only put the Campaign Varient projectiles onto normal base weapons.
Anything that you want to shoot a ravager round, will always shoot a volatile ravager round

[foggy torrent]

I wish there was a playlist with some of the "custom" weapons.

[smoky forge]

Want to make an AR shoot Mangler shots? Too bad, you can only use the Riven Mangler, which is more like a shotgun

Just letting us combine any two weapons instead of only putting a Campaign Varient onto a Base weapon would open up a lot of options

I'll admit I don't know how hard that would be to do, but man would it be neat

want to make something shot rockets? No. Only homing rockets.

end rant

[glacial valley]

One thing I’m still wishing for in the community is a Banished custom Campaign for Infinite that we play on the Banished side.

What playlist in infinite has the most humor (besides gruntpoc)

[noble urchin]

is there a way to look someone up on halo infinite? i saw their armor in a youtube video and want to inspect armor for specifics

[jade pebble]

Suppose adding them as a friend on xbox would do it. Theyll show up on your friends with their armor visible

[noble urchin]

i love you

[sturdy kernel]

That last spartan module so hard to find on Halo Infinite campaign

[civic sundial]

Have you got all the FOBs?

Because it should be on the map once you unlock all of those

[sturdy kernel]

Yes

[crystal iron]

Isn’t one of them bugged or at least doesn’t show up on the map?

I think it’s that dogfight Makovich wasp coating

[civic sundial]

Pretty sure they're talking about the upgrade points, not the cosmetics

[crystal iron]

Ah ok

[sturdy kernel]

Finally, i found it

[neon jasper]

Not to derail but that's one thing I've noticed between Halo and D2 is that Bungie makes tweaks and changes nearly every week to the sandbox and the only thing I've seen from 343 was the last operation update with weapons tuning

[analog salmon]

there's been a few of others but yeah, I wish we'd got all the tuning updates in year 1

I like the remake of Rally Point - Rendezvous

but it seems to be gruntpocalypse only 😔

[valid fable]

[night meteor]

Why are the second halves of the first 2 games' campaigns so damn bs

Dying from literal nothingness, every enemy one-shots, they all sponge like they're vehicles, AND I AM ON NORMAL

HOW DID THIS FRANCHISE TAKE OFF WITH THIS IN THE GAME

IT IS UNFAIR, UNFUN, INFURIATING, BAD DESIGN-INFESTED, STUPID, RIDICULOUS, UTTERLY INCOMPETENT, INSANIY

[civic sundial]

Thankfully you're not the only one who takes issue with the level design in those two games

Halo 2 especially has it bad due to it being rushed

[ashen atlas]

Skill issue

[civic sundial]

I don't think Jackal snipers being how they are is somehow a skill issue on the player

[sturdy kernel]

Those rats killing me on halo infinite legendary difficulty in 3 shots

[lime robin]

I am very interested on seeing footage of how you're playing and seeing these things

Not because I don't believe you or anything, but I as someone who's passed those games on LASO have forgotten what it's like to be new

I remember when I played the CE trial on PC, I shot the marines because I thought they were the bad guys

[jade pebble]

did the devs say anything about removing the daily and weekly sale items from the shop? I havent seen any since the new update

[civic sundial]

Halo 2's one shot you in the foot before you know that they're there most of the time

[karmic ridge]

It's not a huge deal if you know where they spawn and have enough ammo to get them all

[ashen atlas]

Gotta work on that reaction time

[white birch]

They make tweaks every week because people threaten to do criminal things to stuff they should not do criminal things too if Iron Banner and Trials goes bad again.
And with how many weapons they have, they dont have a choice.

Meanwhile the Infinite sandbox is simplistic, clean and utilitarian and doesnt require the constant juggling of three layers of interactions (class, subclass and weapon perks, not to mention weapon TYPE as well) that inevitably results in the "Stasis Hunters Running Infinite Tornados While Rocking A One Tap Handcannon That Refilled Said Tornado" mess from the release of Stasis several years ago

Its not a sign of a passionate and caring game company; its a sign of a bloated, rotting Imperium of Man style game thats held up by its own momentum and coughs out half-dead pro players every couple of minutes like they're jerky chunks.

[foggy torrent]

Based opinion

[finite prawn]

it is ngl

not on outskirts tho. if you dont go the rooftop route

and metropolis driving section

those situations are unfair

[warm fjord]

I presume people still play Halo 5 Forge but not many as I’ve only encountered 3 other players lol

[analog salmon]

the Big Team Heavies refresh is dope but Oasis and Fragmentation should stay. They are great for Heavies.

the headlong remake is honestly so much better with the extra vehicles

[rugged quartz]

infinite's sandbox however is anemic and meager compared to the rich and flavourfull 5

[rugged quartz]

You're sending that to a warzone legend

[onyx latch]

I mean I'm still gonna make the joke

[ruby lake]

it just keeps happening and no one realizes it

(but me)

[celest heron]

cool, get put in a 165 ping server and then my game eventually freezes and crashes.

next game get a teammate who's just running around the map doing nothing and then when 3 of us died he killed himself so the game would end. top tier game session so far.

[weak jackal]

What does it even say? :o

I can’t read it lmao

[celest heron]

got another one just running around the map, but at least we won this time.

[glacial tartan]

I can’t either, accidentally called them trying to click it on mobile (sorry Trenchbird)

[spare finch]

got 39 kills in bth

i'm terrifying

[ruby lake]

husky raid is the only type of game that makes everyone say: "screw it, we ball"

5 minutes later and the teams become uneven

[scarlet shuttle]

How are people ranked Onyx and play like garbage?

[crystal iron]

Boosting?

[scarlet shuttle]

And why was he matched with 3 Gold, poor guy loosing rank x)

And making us play against onyx and diamond… super fun.

I’ve been playing Halo for almost 20 years and I never got past Gold VI. 😧 Something must be wrong with me x)

[white birch]

Its called having a life and not fusing yourself to your chair.

Sacrifices must be made for gaming skill. Usually in the form of being uninteresting to 95% of the human population and rapidly burning out your adrenals.

And, for the most part, basically just being someone no one wishes to be friends with. I cant think of a single pro who actually has a large healthy stable friends group.
They surround themselves with the like and inevitably those collapse.

[scarlet shuttle]

Well I don’t have a super friend group either 😅 as I age, friend are disappearing in their family, making kids of their own. But I get what you say!

[chrome mauve]

does anyone else have an issue with 4s reclaimer mission not loading the grav lift to the lych? it softlocks the mission - I've restarted the level at least 3 times to the same result

dunno if it matters but im playing on legendary

nevermind, i guess you just have to fight through waves of vehicles

[orchid gyro]

What are spartan points? Just loaded up the game for the first time in a while

[celest heron]

you use them to buy items in the exchange.
