[orchid gyro]

Ah ty

[noble urchin]

wish double xp applied to career xp 😢 i have 130 xp boosts for nothin

[orchid gyro]

Dang i thought it did!

[manic wing]

halo 2 moment

im playing that on heroic, i just noob combo and save as much of my beam rifle ammo as i can

and i try to run/drive past vehicle sections or particularly BS areas if i can

on metropolis theres a warthog behind the tank you can just drive across the bridge, for some reason the banshees wont spawn

[zealous panther]

i want to see the full image.

[zealous panther]

but you will skip a fun part of feeling unstoppable in tank...

what just happened... image where?

[manic wing]

problem is its halo 2

your tank will die fast

id rather get the hog and dodge all the shots and finish the mission in less time

[zealous panther]

i mean, this part constructed as the corridor where you can see enemies miles away and destroy them all way before they attack you even on legendary. Don't get me wrong, halo 2 legendary is busted, but heroic... i don't really think so.

[blissful vortex]

why are there so few kills in btb compared to other modes?

I had the most w 26 but I feel like w 3x as much people there should be much more higher kill players

[manic wing]

can drones be headshot at all

[neon jasper]

There's only 1 sensitivity settings correct?
Like you can't set the sensitivity on specific weapons

[sturdy kernel]

How did they are dare took Kortana from Chief on Halo 4😭

[civic sundial]

What? Dare isn't in Halo 4

[cunning oyster]

So curious question, why would you turn off aim magnetism in Halo Infinite?

[civic sundial]

Some people don't like it

[shadow turret]

I never even notice it

controller or not

[cunning oyster]

I just play firefight in halo infinite these days.

The PvP aspect has just become too toxic.

[misty vale]

You don't notice that the sidekick is 3-4x as good on controller?

[shadow turret]

I hate controller
it feels so weird to use for me

Sidekick, and honestly any weapon just feels better on MnK to me

[misty vale]

I play on mnk but the aimbot for controller is obvious and substantial, especially on the default guns.

[shadow turret]

literally can't even kill with it on controller, and I can get like 2 kills a mag on MnK

bullet reg is also terrible for me tho, so

[analog salmon]

im the same on both inputs but the sidekick and commando are sooooo much nicer mnk

Infinite has a strange stick curve though, if i dont play controller regularly and i go back, i cant shoot anything

dont have that issue with MCC tho

i think im probably slightly better on controller at my best, but being able to jump in after a break MnK and actually shoot on target is making me give up on controller lol

and also just enjoying using the sidekick and commando so much more

[shadow turret]

All the recoil heavy weapons especially feel horrible on controller to me
Granted I barely play controller bc I'm miles better on MnK, but still

[cunning oyster]

I must make a confession. For the past 20 years in halo, I’ve only ever used the AR in the last 6 games lol.

[shadow turret]

I honestly barely use the AR to this day lol
I got good with it for a while, and now the Sidekick is way better again

I don't play the older games all that much but its the same kinda deal

[analog salmon]

recoil control comes much easier on mnk

[shadow turret]

ye, I have a low sens compared to most on Mnk apparently, but I can still do good recoil control

[analog salmon]

my sense is 360 from one side of the pad to the other

fairly big pad as well

i feel like anything faster is too fast

[shadow turret]

1.405, 0.6, 0.8, 1200 DPI is what I run rn on MnK

I get jittery a lot tho, so I need a lower sens, at least until can control anxiety better and stuff

[neon jasper]

Define toxic

[analog salmon]

im 0.775 1&1 1500 DPI

i cant remember why i increased my DPI to 1500 tbh

think i just figured it was a nice speed on the desktop lol

[shadow turret]

that's really low tho, jeez

[analog salmon]

honestly being able to only go 360 is a good baseline

it just forces you to move your arm for fast movements

[shadow turret]

I wrist aim a lot lol

[analog salmon]

i use to but a light mouse, big pad, and low sense just made arm aiming come nautrally

[shrewd finch]

I have 1600 dpi 0.350 sens

I like precise aiming

I aim with my whole arm for big movements and fingers for super preciseness

[cunning jungle]

From being the biggest infinite hater on launch to playing recently and absolutely loving the game, the exchange has been the tipping point for me as it (is a start) at removing FOMO completely.

Just a fun game to jump on and play a game of firefight at our own pace, Rendezvous is a pretty amazing map too having its own mini Easter egg basically. All maps should be the standard of that one

[blissful vortex]

wow its so fun playing ranked at 150 ping

[sturdy kernel]

Welp, there goes off 2 Noble Team member(Halo Reach)
Jorge and Kat💀
The best campaign who give me chills

[ruby lake]

ugh

me and my team got camped by the enemy team with grav hammers and other nonsensical weapons

even worse when an enemy held our flag to prolong the torture

why are some halo players like this?

[crystal iron]

another day, another period of not knowing what the Endless are.

[radiant sundial]

when that happens, just leave and find a new match, dont give them the pleasure of beating you 36 feet underground ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ruby lake]

yeah but i had to wait for the game to finish just to complete a few challenges tied to the match

and i dont wanna risk running into that situation again by leaving and going another match

[radiant sundial]

You can always get the challenges in another match

[rigid iron]

Are there people on europe server who want to play halo?

Btw why the game doesn't have a lot of players connected at the same time, halo is just unique and so fun

[radiant sundial]

Depends on whether or not your catching them at 12am, like it is rn over there

[manic wing]

husky raid moment

i love getting spawn killed by mint blitz junior

[ruby lake]

spawnkilled agaiin

uahahahaa i sure love playing halo infinite and getting spawnkilled by mint blitz wannabes🌧️

[rigid iron]

Is there a large european community for halo ?

[zinc flax]

Who?

[scarlet shuttle]

I just saw a new trailer for Halo Infinite and it said it now has Multiplayer Split screen, is this true? 🤔

It was on the FB page: Halo Game

[ruby lake]

yes

[spare finch]

I wonder how good the match composer will be

[ruby knoll]

mp has had splitscreen since launch in 2021

[manic wing]

that isnt the official halo page i believe

[upbeat pecan]

Can someone tell me what SP (spartan points) are for in Halo Infinite please?

[meager pendant]

im wondering if people still hate halo infinite or did people start to enjoy it?

[near blade]

If you mean in campaign they can be used to upgrade

[scarlet shuttle]

With a work around yes, but it was never advertised as a feature for the game.

[ruby knoll]

please read what i posted thanks

the fanbase is NEVER beating the allegations @onyx latch

[onyx latch]

No, AC said MP. Not campaign.

[ruby knoll]

(they can't read)

[onyx latch]

Illiteracy allegations, unbeatable.

[scarlet shuttle]

1. You can on Xbox, not on PC.
2. You can’t play big team battle with more then 1 friend.
3. Nowhere in the game does it tells you to sign-in extra players.

[ruby knoll]

1. not the point in contention
2. not the point in contention
3. not the point in contention

[scarlet shuttle]

Mp has had splitscreen since launch in 2001.

[ruby knoll]

nah the goalpost has been flung into another dimension entirely

[radiant sundial]

Oh lawd

[scarlet shuttle]

Yep it did.

[upbeat pecan]

Thanks for your reply and no my bad, I meant multiplayer. There’s a new SP next to CR and I don’t know what to use it for and I’m not sure what purpose it gives.

[onyx latch]

@ruby knoll They admitted it

[ruby knoll]

don't care anymore

[onyx latch]

I hope you eat sand

[ruby knoll]

i ate an ice cream sandwich :3

[scarlet shuttle]

No, you admitted it. We are just agreeing with the situation.

[onyx latch]

That you're wrong, and AC's right? Yeah, that is the general consensus, your, you, you specifically, you, Icarusael, your failure to be correct is what I'm admitting to. Amazing.

[zinc flax]

We got to talk about Ilsa Zane

[scarlet shuttle]

You guys made me feel ashamed to be a Halo player today. I don’t want people to think I am part of a community with people like you. Cringey af.

[zinc flax]

Like bro she gives off Maria-062 vibes

[onyx latch]

Welcome to the club sister/brother/other.

[zinc flax]

Pop my head like a watermelon Bam!

[onyx latch]

Most Halo fans make me ashamed for even giving a crap about canon, so.

[zinc flax]

Canon is a point of view

[onyx latch]

No, it's an objective perspective with subjective views on direction.

[zinc flax]

Known knowns and known unknowns

[white birch]

Most dont bother to even consider the canon other than whats in the games.
Holding up Fall of Reach to them cause a reaction similar to the composer, except with more cringe and panic and less "standing there in ungodly agony as your flesh is singed from your bones layer by layer"

On a related note; the Composer is still a very cool weapon and I want it brought back on a tactical scale.

[sturdy kernel]

See you on another life, commander Carter of Noble Team

Why is theatre mode so buggy? trying to record a clip, but it's so laggy and bad is there a way to fix it? the bullets don't even match the sounds ect

[lusty wraith]

On PC, in FF, it actively moves your reticle between enemies it’s most annoying there. In MP, if you want to have some aiming integrity and more challenge as well

[onyx latch]

It technically does it in both, it's just quantity

[lusty wraith]

Personally turned it off even though it makes the game 10X more frustrating for me because it would impact my aim in other games

[final lantern]

anyone willing to help with the floodfight monthly challenge on mcc? need 3 on pc in the usa

[lusty wraith]

Use LFG, also I’d help if you’re still on after work hours (5 CST) for me

[final lantern]

i did use lfg but no one ever responds on there anymore it seems like.

[knotty ermine]

is firefight just gruntpocalypse now?

cause I'm not getting normal firefight

[lusty wraith]

I got like 9/10 gruntpocalypse it’s so annoying

[final lantern]

it should be random i believe

[knotty ermine]

wait so it's random? lmao i got gruntpocalypse always

[final lantern]

but half the time it gets stuck

[knotty ermine]

ugh. boooo. just split the gamemodes

[final lantern]

lol

[lusty wraith]

Match composer can’t get here quick enough

If it were me I’d make the FF section social FF, FF classic, and KOTH FF in a match composer

[cunning oyster]

Infinite’s game modes are becoming more and more harder to get into.

Can’t even get a regular BTB match.

If it’s any consolation infinite’s deadzone settings did make me a better battlefield player.

[vale swallow]

Yea, we need Last Spartan Standing more than ever.

[zenith holly]

I kinda thought people were 50/50 on that mode

[fluid rain]

Personal opinion, but please bring back ranked swat and stop rotating ranked playlists. Really frustrating to try and climb ranks and then have all progress deleted.

[stoic canopy]

Hey, does anyone know what the deal with the Exploded Geometry Glitch is? Like what causes it/how to prevent it?

I had a match on the Headlong Remake that was, then my immediate next match I got the Tempest Remake and had to quite during because of it.

[weak jackal]

Oh are they adding it?

[vast nova]

im sad i have no way to do 4 players on infinite

[edgy forum]

Did Warhammer inspire Halo with ship design wise, like the Spirit of Fire, and glassing planets (Exterminatus)?

[neon jasper]

what exactly is that?

[stoic canopy]

You select your preferred match size + gametypes, then the game tries to make matches out of that.

Titanfall 2 started it, but it's in CoD now too if you want a taste.

[final lantern]

need 2 for the monthly floodfight challenge on pc pm me if interested..

[ivory glacier]

Servers down for anyone?

Nm

[crystal iron]

No Ben up al dhey

[manic wing]

Why doesn't Arby take Johnson's beam rifle and shoot Tartarsauce himself? Is he stupid?

[proud barn]

Are all Halo Infinite firefight games currently gruntpocalypse?

[zinc flax]

Tartarus eats those for breakfast

Dude was literally Omni-Man on Legendary

[silk sinew]

Why the hell am I getting 300 ping? playing Australian servers as an east coast Canadian ????????????????????????

Limit the servers, or fix them 343, that's ridiculous, ranked snipers with 300+ ping is a joke

[manic wing]

its like 33% gruntpocalypse 66% normal ff

[manic wing]

i am THIS close from beating halo 2 on heroic but the tartar fight is so boring

[zinc flax]

Spam frags

[crystal iron]

How did you connect to aus servers when there’s US always populated

Depending on what you mean by limit the servers, I could see the way mcc does it being super useful instead of this balanced/expanded junk like H5

[manic wing]

What frags

I get like no grenades on The Great Journey

weell i ran past most of the level but

[civic sundial]

Throw Plasma grenades instead

[manic wing]

i have none sadly

also i get to carry 4 only so unless tartarsauce drops to 4 sticks

[humble kestrel]

Does anyone know if nucleus coop works with mcc on game pass? please ping if you have an answer :]

[spare finch]

Try using local servers

[spare finch]

It’s gonna be in halo infinite soon (hopefully)

[torn cape]

friendly reminder that MCC matchmaking is beyond unfair (cant send screenshot cuz no image perms)

[woeful wigeon]

Yup, especially when you get to diamond level, you are expected to carry with like +20 every game, otherwise you lose. That is a poor experience for everyone, but especially for the lower skilled player(s) that consistently get matched on your team.
You should be matched with players at your current CSR regardless of MMR until you quickly accelerate into the matches where you consistently play at the same level as your teammates and stay there. This is how matchmaking systems befre Halo 5 worked.
Unfortunately, TrueSkill 2 + TrueMatch makes fair matchmaking impossible to accomplish. The ironic part is that the whole point of it is to improve matchmaking wait times, yet when you get to higher skill tiers it actually takes longer to find a fair match than it did with traditional matchmaking.
I will keep saying it - 343i could integrate a more traditional matchmaking system into ranked that has other safeguards to limit boosting (which is an issue in Infinite already anyway, but that is another excuse people like to use to defend TS2/TM), but they won't do it because, well, fill in the blank.

[analog salmon]

you could back this up with data if your k/d is above 1 and your w/l is 1

its not perfect but these wild claims just make no sense to me

[radiant sundial]

Alright, whats the random world ending topic for today

[woeful wigeon]

Kind of, I mean I'm sure that's the case for many players, but if K/D is the ultimate goal (which it is for many, consciously or not, because of how the system works taking less points away from you in a loss when you have a better K/D), anyone could go into ranked and not care about winning.

[analog salmon]

i dont think your k/d matters at all tbh

i think it kills per minute

because realistically that's the strongest metric

[woeful wigeon]

the whole issue is that MMR pretty much boils down to a single metric

whether it's the "best" or not, it's nothing close to purely comparing against CSR. the goal of each match in matchmaking should be that the system can't predict the outcome - it should be as close to a coin flip as possible if the system did its job

[analog salmon]

you beat the odds you get awarded and you rank up

there's probably games you cant win but its the exception imo

[woeful wigeon]

ok so you're admitting the system is rigged against players and are arguing that's a good experience?

[radiant sundial]

Yes and no, and no and yes

[analog salmon]

it's not rigged to give you a match you are expected to lose

[woeful wigeon]

it is inherently rigged because it is using a single, flawed metric when it should be using the only metric relevant, CSR

[analog salmon]

its within a reasonable margin that you can win

[radiant sundial]

Elaborate

[analog salmon]

I really dont think lopsided matches is a huge issue in Infinite. the entire system is built to avoid that, whether you like how it awards CSR or not

frankly its insanely difficult to predict player performance. 4 solos can just play exceptionally well together and dominate a 4 stack

i can feel when im in sync with my team mates and when im just not

[woeful wigeon]

Maybe it hasn't been your experience but in ranked it is a huge issue for many players and has been for a long time.
I agree, it is insanely difficult to predict player performance. That's my point, the system in place now matches people by expecting to know what is fair by looking at their MMR, not their CSR and MMR can never come close to CSR as far as match fairness.
Ask yourself this, why doesn't 343 release the MMR stats at per player level in team matches? They know that if they did, people would analyze it and find that is consistently lopsided.

[analog salmon]

traditional matchmaking wasn't lopsided?

[woeful wigeon]

only if people were boosting using smurf accounts, but there are ways to limit that and it was only a smaller portion of matches where you'd see that happen anyway

if you get knocked down in rank because of getting unlucky with matching against smurfs for a long session, you could just work your way back to the same rank easily because when you don't get matched against smurfs, you know the likelihood of it being a fair match is very high

[woeful wigeon]

If going to use a single metric, I'd like to see something like (total damage * (damage taken / deaths)) normalized against time

[neon jasper]

anyone having server issues?

[rapid summit]

Guys is the Bandit in lore the exact same as the halo Reach DMR without the scope?

[analog salmon]

M392 yeah

idk if it has a shorter barrel tho

[civic sundial]

It's just a different manufacturer licensing the design of the DMR to make it

[rapid summit]

So it's the same base gun just with adjusted rof and attachments

[spare finch]

ngl the match composer is needed

[rapid summit]

How about Halo 4? All the guns sounded kinda weird in that game.

[civic sundial]

In lore yes though different manufacturer, gameplay there are differences since Reach is different to Infinite

[blissful vortex]

yeah sure but h4 had a bunch of promethean guns

[civic sundial]

Forerunner weapons my beloved

[rapid summit]

A bit to much treble in the human weapons sound tho. I didn't really "feel" the power

That's something infinite does really well I think

[blissful vortex]

idk, I preferred the light rifle in h4 anyways

[analog salmon]

I never really take the ROF or recoil as lore accurate things. doesn't really make sense

[blissful vortex]

there isnt any recoil anyways tho right?

[rapid summit]

Yeah you're right. They are variables that can be adjusted as the devs please for gameplay balancing.

[civic sundial]

Spartans are canonically more than capable of dealing with the recoil

[analog salmon]

i honestly hate the bandit evo conceptually even though I love it gameplay wise. Just give it the same scope it had in Reach and called it the M392 DMR

asthetically it should just look the same. gameplay wise it's the same role the DMR had in past games

Bandit Evo is such a silly name lol

the mangnification different is not a problem with the ACOG style scope

[civic sundial]

I think if Infinite handled the Evo scope like attachments from Halo 5, it'd be not that bad. Though that would require weapon attachments to make sense

[analog salmon]

tbf the Bandit and Bandit Evo are distinctly different weapons

I love both gameplay wise

im also fine with the Bandit lore wise. I just don't get the Bandit Evo when you already have the M392 as a DMR and you can just call it the DMR i guess

[blissful vortex]

I actually prefer them having proper names

[civic sundial]

It's odd compared to previous DMRs for sure

[blissful vortex]

ma40, s7, m392 etc etc it just sounds better than assault rifle or dmr imo

[civic sundial]

Like all the variants in Halo 5 are M395 [Attachment name here]

[neon jasper]

is there a report player option for like AFK BS

[radiant sundial]

I think so, im not sure though, but wdym by afk?

Like, gone for the entire match, or, awh darn, i have to do something so im afk for half but i came back

[thorn sierra]

my biggest fear in halo custom lobbies are tanks

[radiant sundial]

Mine is rocket launchers and sniper rifles

[neon jasper]

literally a guy in the corner just moving back and forth not doing anything in the match

[radiant sundial]

Was there a somewhat noticeable pattern to the movement?

Like walking in "circles" while staring straight up or down?

[neon jasper]

strafing back and forth and going into walls

[woeful wigeon]

people are dropping out of games like 5+ minutes into losing and it ends the match with the "unfair so no CSR awarded" thing. makes no sense. if it happens it should happen immediately.

[radiant sundial]

Then they probably did what i do and set their controller down with the thumbsticks to the side so it keeps u moving so u dont get kicked for inactivity, they probably had to go do something while they had started the find game thing, but it took too long so he was just afk the whole match

[radiant sundial]

Explain

[woeful wigeon]

wrong. all players were active the whole time before 1 quit

[radiant sundial]

Wasnt talking to you in that post my guy

[radiant sundial]

That doesnt make any sense though

[woeful wigeon]

it happened

[radiant sundial]

I mean what you meant abt if the match alr has had some action it shouldnt end

[woeful wigeon]

so you mean if I'm losing I can quit and it won't count? sweet

[radiant sundial]

If the match is alr 30-25, and one or more players leave, the team whos person left will be at a disadvantage, and will probably lose due to unfair conditions

And it should end the match anyways if someone leaves

[radiant sundial]

If your losing and both teams have 4 people, you shouldnt leave, if your losing bc you lost a teammate, the match should be ending itself iirc

[ruby knoll]

343 did all the SFX in house instead of using a stock sound library. I'm not too big on some of the sounds (br sounds too scratchy) but i think it wasn't all bad (h4AR my beloved)

[woeful wigeon]

I don't think you're really thinking about what you're saying. Let it sink in. That's not the policy they blogged about. Bugs are happening.

[rapid summit]

Well some of the sounds had an additional effect applied on them on top of the gun sounds.

[woeful wigeon]

If I'm winning righteously, if someone can just quit and it will kill the CSR I would've gotten that makes absolutely no sense.

[radiant sundial]

Its to avoid punishing the other people on the team of the guy who left, bc now theyre going to unfairly lose csr

[ruby knoll]

true, i meant more 343 recorded everything basically

[rapid summit]

Right

[neon jasper]

leaving matches, i hate that. like why? never understood that

[radiant sundial]

Some people have things that come up in life, so they have to leave, or bc they are being trolled in the match so they leave, or bc of cheaters, so they leave

[ruby knoll]

i can understand needing to bounce for unforseen reasons, no issue there, but serial quitters are the worst

you play matchmaking, play the match through to the end

[radiant sundial]

Yes

[ruby knoll]

if you want to pick and choose gametype and map and such explicitly then customs should be used

[radiant sundial]

If something happens, or people are just making the match unfun by being jerks, yes, leave, but if your just iffy bc you rolled a bad map or your losing, then oh well, deal with it

[woeful wigeon]

so, reiterating, you think anytime anyone quits, regardless of the reason, the team that wins should get 0 CSR?

that is pure insanity

[radiant sundial]

You are ignoring half of the equation dammit

No one gets anything because its UNFAIR

[shadow turret]

only in Ranked that happens

[radiant sundial]

Thats what we're talking abt, read the whole convo river

[shadow turret]

there's like 200 messages

[radiant sundial]

Not even close

[shadow turret]

even still if its half or more at least, the match won't end if someone quits, but I believe its as soon as there's kills/points from each team

[woeful wigeon]

no, I'm not. it wasn't unfair before they quit. so you are rewarding sore losers and keeping honorable players from ranking up. not to mention how much time was wasted for the honorable player playing a good match.

[radiant sundial]

Read the ones pertaining to this convo

[radiant sundial]

So, if your team wins bc half the enemy team dropped out halfway through, so you crushed the enemy team bc its a constant 2v1, you think thats fair? And that you should benefit from that?

Because thats what your saying

River what is it with you and essays today

[shadow turret]

if they drop midway, its arguably their problem
I don't mind the current system they have, which ends if it starts unfairly (again, idk the exact cutoff for it, but its soon after a match starts), because if you're leaving a match for not liking the map, or just being a sore loser, too bad then
The reason I don't honestly quit a lot, especially in Ranked, is because I don't care if I'm being pummeled to the floor, I still play to do my best, even if I lose
If someone leaves halfway through just because their losing, that arguably gives the enemy team an advantage as well, at least in my experience, since even with 3 players, its harder to find ppl, but easy to sneak around more without a killfarm player (if that was the kinda player that left).
And I'm not saying its a guaranteed win/loss if someone leaves, its just easier to move because there's less people as a whole on the map

[left snow]

Quits are the bane of any ranking system. It's bad data for the "sorting" algorithm.

From an ranking point of view it is safer to assume the quitting player is at fault - and has done something to avoid losing.

And in the end what it does to CSR is of no consequence - because that will tend to correct itself against the MMR over time anyway. For player "welfare" it's better to not penalise those who did the right thing and kept playing.

[left snow]

...
But technically, no, you shouldn't expect CSR if the other team quits.

If you were the better team then you probably weren't getting much, if any, MMR from the "expected" win.

So any "token" CSR you are given to make you feel better is just going to be taken back on the next loss - and you will be even more frustrated.

I see why they do it. But it may be better to rip the band aid off there and then.

[crimson berry]

Anyone having issues on Halo Infinite where they get into a match and sometimes, it just endlessly repeats the loading section until it ends?

[tulip tusk]

sometimes in customs that happens, it repeats the intro cameras forever and i just end it manually or restart

[sturdy kernel]

I have a very strange feeling
I finished the Halo game out of order and it's bothering me to the max
Should I replay Halo 4 to get it right?)

[weak jackal]

Probably, yeah

[left snow]

When I get that it's a mystery box as to what is going to happen.

Occasionally the game eventually starts. But not often with all the players (some obviously gave up waiting).

Last time it sent me back to the menu screen warning me about inactivity in the game. I assume to everyone else in the game I was AFK.

Sometimes it just keeps going, endlessly looping... and I have to restart the xbox. Sometimes the game appears in my "history" and sometimes it doesn't.

It's weird.

[spare finch]

had a round that lasted too quick and only allowed me to get 1 kill (died twice)

[neon jasper]

Ok finished this season, and cyber showdown 3, any season I should consider taking on next?

[ruby lake]

remember

never use a blue coating on a mk 7

you're gonna have bad luck

[spare finch]

I never do

[ruby lake]

congrats!

[ruby knoll]

i always do

[velvet relic]

[analog salmon]

I havent solo queued halo btb for this long in years

Infinite heavies is just great. Vehicle drops should just be removed from btb honestly. Make btb light with small infantry maps, then have btb heavies for the open maps with lots of vehicles

The problem with vehicles in infinite was never that they were weak, they were just absent at the start of every match

[wind gale]

Does anyone know when the next halo game might come out?

Or is there any sort of timeframe we could potentially expect it?

[coarse dagger]

There are new projects in the works, but we don't know what they are or anything about time scales right now. Too early to tell

[wind gale]

Thanks!

[radiant sundial]

What btb are you playing? It was always a race to get the warthogs right as we spawned in in my matches

[analog salmon]

Yah cause there’s like two hogs and a ghost for 12 players lol

[spare finch]

343 needs to fix matchmaking, I got put in a btb round that ended less than a minute after I joined the round

[ruby lake]

i have never played with a team so bad that one of my teammates has negative 115 score

and almost got ran over by them too

[analog salmon]

Now now

Some people just can’t drive very well

Revenant for example

[radiant sundial]

This, is true

[radiant sundial]

And some people have bad luck with cars (me)

I drive fine but dont ask me to do any fancy pickups

[analog salmon]

i switched to regular btb to get the dev maps and yeah, its just hit and miss

some maps have basically the same number of vehicles as heavies, just wraiths instead of scorpions etc.

but high power, breaker, etc are just very dull some games

not always, i had stockpile on high power that was super intense and came down to one seed left, both steals stealing eachothers seeds etc

but games like that just seem to be the exception

that said i did have a game of heavies where 9 out of 12 players on the other team quit lol

i really hope Oasis is added back to Heavies and they just leave out Breaker and Scarr which are more infantry focused anyway

[craggy wadi]

Off topic is halo infinite in e-sports?

[scenic warren]

Yea

[zealous dagger]

Why is big team heavies so good?

[frosty condor]

@river minnow oof

[crystal iron]

Because it’s fun to use a large amount of the sandbox

[sturdy kernel]

That Flood parasites so annoying on Halo 1-3(Go to hell with that)

Worse than covenant elites

[manic wing]

halo 2 flood are horrid

actually no i dont mind halo 2 flood

those flood turrets in halo 3 are the worst, the game never gives me firebombs

[civic sundial]

Stickies work on the ranged forms too but that's redundant knowledge when you're in a room with 5 of them shooting you at once

[zealous panther]

only flood form i ever had problems with is ranged variant in halo 3, that one who mutates.

[sturdy kernel]

It easily shut down with plasma weapon

[river minnow]

mf I have clips of your driving

we can both be bad

[zealous dagger]

Could you imagine a mode where you survive against the flood till extraction

Like fireteam but flood

And with extraction or something

[civic sundial]

Like an extraction shooter?

[spare finch]

chaos

[vestal cypress]

we getting new halo infinite story?

[spare finch]

wasn't announced, it's just a rumor

[vestal cypress]

hm ok

[crystal iron]

How recent was this "rumor"?

[spare finch]

unsure, but people keep speculating about another "halo infinite campaign"

[crystal iron]

If that does happen, neat.

[civic sundial]

There's like a person claiming that every week based off of nothing

[crystal iron]

Oh, I'm aware.

I'm just saying that if that does end up happening... neat.

[civic sundial]

I would like it too, I just ain't holding out hope for it

Like, I know exactly what I would do if I was in charge of making it, but that's just me having a fun idea

Like, I want to explore the downed Guardian and fight Prometheans still loyal to Cortana that are protecting it

[tulip tusk]

destiny 2 has a story update next month seems to be cool

[civic sundial]

Isn't that the last big expansion for D2?

[tulip tusk]

i believe so, The Final Shape

[spare finch]

refuge is too small for btb smh (it works better for squad battle or 4v4)

the banshee can literally fit in every space of the map

the sword shouldn't even be in the map because that's how powerful it is

[radiant sundial]

danger zone intensifies

[spare finch]

True

[regal ledge]

What happened to the 500 XP you get from your daily match

[shadow turret]

Changed to 250 Spartan points (to many ppls dislike)

[ruby lake]

time fora

riot

[analog salmon]

you have 10 weekly challenges that are just " play the game" as well as match xp towards the battle pass

the daily Xp was pretty much pointless

i dont love the soft FOMO that is operation passes, but i do think you should actually have to play the game to unlock stuff just like 3/Reach/4/5

being able to finish the pass by playing 1 match a day for a week or so was just kinda silly

[snow dagger]

Without the daily challenge and ultimate challenge XP, operation pass progression feels like it’s at a good pace imo.

[foggy dune]

The only reasonable sp gains are from the pass the amount you gain from dailies and weeklies is laughable

[zinc flax]

Be Thel ‘Vadamee’s forces

[meager estuary]

For the "Life Story" achievement in Halo: MCC will the achievement unlock for Legendary Master Chief Saga playlist?

[analog salmon]

no

normal only

[sturdy kernel]

Legendary difficulty feels really legendary on Halo Reach
Everyone wants to kill you

Really hard, just not like Infinite campaign

[zealous panther]

Good thing you don't have to actually play most of the reach campaign and can skip most of this suffering

[sturdy kernel]

I'm started from beginning

[ionic stratus]

Legendary is fun although I have been playing it the past years on legendary favorite section is probably the motorpool from H3

I feel like the only really annoying part of reach in my experience at least on mcc because its broken is the long night of solace space section

[sturdy kernel]

And there's end
It took 3 days
I'm impressed
It didn't take long as i firstly expected

[zealous panther]

3 days? Not 3 hours?

[sturdy kernel]

3 days for full walkthrough

If someone will said that I don't have my own life
It's true, I really don't have my own life

[ionic stratus]

How was LNOS Space Section

[sturdy kernel]

I don't know how I thought about this but what if next Halo part will be on planet Reach?

[civic sundial]

If you were asking this question after Halo 5, I'd be inclined to think it would

But given Halo Infinite took place on Zeta Halo and has set up for more events on that Halo, I think we'll be spending our time there in the next main Halo

[onyx latch]

Why do people insist on making this massive sprawling universe as small as possible? It actually disheartens me to see them beg for a smaller circle.

[foggy dune]

rather have a content rich smaller circle than a barren wide open space

Getting matched with 100 games played 30 kill players what a great game

[onyx latch]

You can have a large area covered with tight events.

[foggy dune]

that 50 games ranked limit really fixed the smurfing

[onyx latch]

That's the issue. Star Trek feels big but it's focused on a small crew, because they almost never go to the same world twice, and the recurring enemies involved tend to be specifically against a specific starfleet captain around the same rank.

Like, Reach is done to death. Take a trip to Mars or Tyne.

[civic sundial]

Requiem is kinda hard to revisit given it's fiery destruction at the hands of Jul sending it into its sun

And saying that we should go back to Reach just because it was in one game and ignoring the books is odd. The planet was fleshed out thanks to both the game and the books it appeared in

At this point, the only new thing that could be done is either explore when the planet was first discovered or explore Reach in the time after it's been deglassed enough to be habitable again

[onyx latch]

Narratively, Reach gets stepped on a lot. 3 books at least, 1 game plus a smidge of concept art showing we might've been on it in Infinite.

It's weirdly central for a world that just happened to be a world you made a whole game about.

[onyx latch]

Not to mention, why would you go back to a glassed Reach? We've been on glassed worlds before, they're pretty boring.

Meridian.

And it's all but stated glassed worlds are pretty damn uniform.

You've got waaaay more options.

[civic sundial]

I disagree with the notion a glassed world is boring, but with Reach specifically, the story about returning there has already been told thanks to Shadows of Reach

[sturdy kernel]

Not bad discussion what I started lol
It just my thoughts, no need for explanation

[onyx latch]

Eh, it's mostly gray and odd lava flows

[civic sundial]

Some people like lava flows

I have a friend who would love to see one up close

[onyx latch]

Mm

[civic sundial]

Either way, give me new places regardless, glassed or no glassed

And if it's a new human world, can we please draw inspiration from other cultures for the architecture?

Like give me a colony world with Middle Eastern or Asian or South American inspirations

[onyx latch]

I actually hate that concept vehemently lmao

That's like screaming with a megaphone into someone's ear that you're creatively bankrupt

[civic sundial]

Last thing both franchises need is rehashing already told stories over and over

Like, I have played Jedi Fallen Order, adapting that into a film is completely redundant

[onyx latch]

Oh boy, I can't wait for another damn adaptation of the Fall of Reach. Again.

[civic sundial]

There is no Halo, only Fall of Reach

[onyx latch]

It's literally one of like 3 Halo books the non-book reading masses ever read.

The other two usually being Ghosts of Onyx or First Strike. Maybe the odd Contact Harvest.

[civic sundial]

Terrible game adaptation

So much would need to changed to make it more combat focused

Halo Reach told a different story to Fall of Reach

[onyx latch]

They'd all need massive changes. It's why it's a terrible idea.

[onyx latch]

One of the biggest criticisms of Reach's campaign was the fact it basically butchered everything we knew about the Covenant and Reach even from the perspective of the Halo games.

[ruby lake]

i loved reach

[onyx latch]

The Covenant do not operate like they do in Reach, the Covenant do not use tactics like they used in Reach, Reach originally fell in under 72 hours, there was originally an actual space defense system in place, the Autumn never went groundside, etc etc

[ruby lake]

and this is why i skipped on the books

i do not wanna be a perfectionist

[onyx latch]

Weird reason to skip.

Most people just say they hate reading.

[ruby lake]

wait really?

i thought people liked reading

[onyx latch]

... I mean, take how illiterate by choice the average American is, and reduce that number by half.

[onyx latch]

I read one book a week at a minimum. That's enough to make me a statistical outlier by a wide margin.

[civic sundial]

In this day and age, so many people barely pay attention to the obvious in a show, people aren't picking up books as much as they used to either

[ruby lake]

i never stop reading

[onyx latch]

Media literacy's at an all time low, not that it was ever high.

"I can't believe that Glasslands acted like Halsey was a horrible person, she was clearly a good person. After all, she made the Spartans"

[ruby lake]

...

[foggy dune]

Halsey for nobel peace prize

[ruby lake]

oh

[onyx latch]

(Note that even FoR was not shy about her being horrible)

[ruby lake]

now i realized why not many people read the stories i made

[civic sundial]

You didn't

[ruby lake]

outside of this server.

they only go for the pictures

[onyx latch]

Preaching to the nunnery.

[ruby lake]

well well well
he hit the nail on the head

[foggy dune]

wow hold up there buddy I don't need to read your 500 word essay

[onyx latch]

It's funny that people tend to assume I'm angry for typing like this all the time. Or because I'm super wordy. Et cetera.

Did I say funny? I meant annoying.

[ruby lake]

i dont understand anger mostly

so i just usually think: "???"

[foggy dune]

Ignorance and low anger control might have a correlation

[errant maple]

helllo Is there away I can play remastered or remade versions of halo games without buying masterchief

[coarse dagger]

Nope

[onyx latch]

They do.

[errant maple]

I only want halo 3

[coarse dagger]

The only updates to Halo 3 exist within MCC

[onyx latch]

Ebay? Disc traders? Local resellers?

[errant maple]

Im low on storage what do you recommend

[coarse dagger]

Tell a lie, actually, Halo CE got an anniversary edition that exists outside of MCC

[onyx latch]

There's usually like 13 copies of Halo 3 at my local game stores.

[coarse dagger]

Depending on what platform you're playing on, you can selectively install only Halo 3

[errant maple]

I am on windows xbox

[coarse dagger]

Some platforms will require you to download it all, but then you can pick and choose what you want after that

[errant maple]

so I cant just install halo3? (I have 40 gb storage)

[radiant sundial]

If your on a pc you should be able to, on xbox i dont think so

[errant maple]

I mean on windows xbox

I have xbox on windows

[coarse dagger]

I can't remember if MS store on PC lets you install 1 game at a time

[radiant sundial]

You mean the xbox app?

[errant maple]

xbox ultimatum or something yeah

[radiant sundial]

Gamepass ultimate?

[errant maple]

yeas

[radiant sundial]

Alr, heres a better idea, do you have good wifi?

[errant maple]

6 megabytes per second

[radiant sundial]

Idk if thats good or not, but if u have good wifi u can use xbox cloud play, which lets u play it without installing it

[coarse dagger]

I'm confused now - are you playing on an Xbox console, or are you playing on a PC?

[errant maple]

it works on microsoft?

[errant maple]

I have windows on windows I have xbox ultimatum for pc

[radiant sundial]

Considering its a microsoft service... yes

[coarse dagger]

Ok

[radiant sundial]

Xbox ultimatum aint a thing, its gamepass ultimate lol

I hate phone keyboards

[errant maple]

ok no extra paying i guess

ill try it

[coarse dagger]

Looks like on MS/Xbox store it needs you to install the full game, then uninstall what you don't want after. Must be Steam that lets you pick and choose. Sadly MS Store doesn't have the "Ready to start" feature that Xbox consoles do, that allows you to install a small potion, then enter the menu and stop games from installing

Best advice I have, is to try and free up some space to install the full game

[radiant sundial]

Cloud play also exists, and with it u dont even have to install the game

Its the only reason i was playing halo on my laptop lol

[errant maple]

I cant do it this is work pc 😔

[errant maple]

yeah Im trying

[ruby lake]

what if

samus was in halo?

[radiant sundial]

Ball lady in halo?

[ruby lake]

yes

the sphere woman

[radiant sundial]

Probably not much changes

[civic sundial]

Samus would be spending half the mission gathering her gear up again so she can laser the enemy

[radiant sundial]

Mostly bc oni kidnapping her and stealing her stuff

[errant maple]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/play/games/halo-the-master-chief-collection/9MT8PTGVHX2P (I guess here)

[radiant sundial]

Yep, thats the link for browser cloud play

You can also run cloud play from the xbox app if you have it

[frigid grail]

How do I completely turn off my crosshair in Halo Infinite? I tried moving around all the options but cant get them to completely disappear. Is there any way to totally remove them? (for multiplayer games I mean, not campaign)

[shadow turret]

I believe there's a way but I'll have to check after sumn I'm doing

[misty vale]

Disable hud

[shadow turret]

yea that's what I thought

I think its the checkbox for HUD in Gameplay

[frigid grail]

Aw Nuts. I was hoping there was a way to do it without turning off the whole HUD. But thank you for the help.

[lime robin]

Does your employer know you wish to install MCC and is okay with that?

[foggy dune]

Invite your employer to a 1vs1

you can try lowering your reticle opacity and thickness to the minimum

thats the closest you can get without turning off hud

[shadow turret]

no, you can get the reticle off with the HUD still there

[errant maple]

I am employer its my own work pc

I got video previews and 8k videos and many games I need to record for videos stuff

[analog salmon]

I dont understand why Team Slayer is the only playlist they mix up the starting weapons, and even then its random and not map specific

Different starting weapons for different maps would just make bigger 4v4 maps so much more enjoyable in Quick Play

The sidekick change has made it really fun to use on streets etc but behemoth is just horrible

[crystal iron]

Why did they removed magnum from halo

?

[white birch]

Infinite. They replaced it with the MK50 Sidekick.

This was a point of contention something like 4 years ago.

[ruby lake]

does anybody have a pen?

i need to borrow it

[analog salmon]

They pretty much brought it back with the bandit

Bigger maps replacing the sidekick with bandit starts would be such a huge improvement

And different starting weapons for different maps just adds variety

[ruby knoll]

i have a pineapple does that work

[thorn creek]

I don't know what was done or seen as an improvement with this big "network update" but ever since that update, my instances of being shot through walls, "ties" where me and an opposing fighter kill each other simultaneously, and being "out-ping'd" on a 40ms stable connection have gone through the roof. I love the game, I really do. But i'm afraid i'm just not gonna be able to play it anymore until these issues are worked out. Thanks for everything.

[white birch]

Okay, dude whos been on this server for less than 3 months.

[zealous dagger]

Sadly it was removed but I do like the sidekick though

[crystal iron]

does the repair field just not work on Scorpions & Wasps or am I just tripping because I swear every time I’ve used it it never even looks like any of the damage was repaired

[civic sundial]

It does work, I used one on a scorpion the other day and it worked just fine

[crystal iron]

maybe I just have terrible luck I don’t know

[civic sundial]

It can be destroyed via gunfire

[crystal iron]

well my issue with it has been 2 instances as of recently, both of which were when the vehicles were at critical health, on fire smoke and everything, and it was a scorpion the first time and a wasp the second time

I even waited for the repair field to respawn before I tried it another 2 times in both cases, and saw no improvement to the health of the vehicle visually

honestly have no idea what the hell happened but I figured I’d ask around

[tulip tusk]

Try custom game browser! Imo customs are where a lot of the fun is as they say. Custom campaigns, firefight, anything. Someone even made a "campaign infection" mode that I found very interesting. The infected are on the team of the Banished ai and try to prevent the alive side from progressing. When the infected die they spawn in the next staging area. I forget the name of the mode but was super interesting bc I used to imagine such a mode in old halos

Bro the banished now have Spartans…😱 the only I would think they could counter that is if gamma company which is computerized of 300 spartan 3’s I think. And maybe that training facility for Spartan 4 to back up the marines of the UNFC

[civic sundial]

The Gammas aren't computers

[half dune]

I’m mean company

lol I hate auto correct

[civic sundial]

And there's only one Banished Spartan, Ilsa Zane. The augmented humans working with the Banished are attempts to replicate Spartans by human extremist groups allied with the Banished

[half dune]

Yah but that’s a scary thought tho 😅 the banished were tough but now that would be nightmare fuel

[civic sundial]

It's only logical that others would attempt to make super soldiers

[half dune]

At that point I would try to find every Spartan 2 left alive.

Like blue red and grey team

Well and omega

I would want every best soldier I could get by my side

[civic sundial]

IVs are more than capable of handling other super soldiers, no need to gather the surviving IIs

[half dune]

Bro 2’s are god tear well either that are I would want ODST Spartan’s now that’s a hell of a combo 😎

[civic sundial]

There are Spartan IVs that are former ODSTs, such as Alpha Nine

[half dune]

😱 that’s my favorite

[civic sundial]

And the IIs, while great, there aren't exactly many of them compared to the IVs, better to use the older Spartans for missions where their experience will serve them better

That's not to say the IVs don't have experience, the majority of them do, they just don't have the unique experience the IIs have

[half dune]

Bro the 2 have tons of experience plus they have that edge because they trained when they were kids

Which makes them awesome by the way

[civic sundial]

Being a child soldier is abhorrent, that's not something to celebrate at all

[half dune]

Ok then I mean, I think it’s cool. That doesn’t mean you have to think it’s cool

[civic sundial]

You shouldn't be seeing it as cool in the first place

[half dune]

Bro it’s a story I tend not to take it too seriously

[civic sundial]

Being kidnapped as a child to be a soldier is a horrible thing to put someone through, doesn't matter if the armour's cool

[half dune]

Ok sir whatever you say

[civic sundial]

They still die to Stanchion shots from 25 klicks out.
They're a threat to a disorganized and unstable galaxy.

But thats all they can live in. The moment organization returns, things are going to get very nasty.

I expect massive Banished Ls in the near future, presumably involving entire forces being wiped out aggressively with Forerunner technology.

Also; tell me you really dont get the point of the lore without telling me you really get the point of the lore.

Im guessing if he knows 40k he assumed the Imperium are the good guys cause the Marines exist.

[half dune]

Bro I really couldn’t care less who are the good guys or who are the bad guys if they have cool weapons and armor and if I find them, that’s all that matters

If I see an alien freak, I smash it because alien versus predator vibes 😎

[white birch]

And that explains the edgy RepCom helmet with the completely useless Sam Fisher night vision goggles.

[half dune]

Aww poking fun at my helmet that’s adorable

[white birch]

Its redundant, and in the bad way.
Also it compromises the entire forward section of the helmet even more so than the giant T visor does.

[half dune]

I love armor and weapons and cool, sci-fi soldiers you can have your opinions I really couldn’t care less about them though😂

[white birch]

The shallowness of your understanding of the material makes that VERY obvious.

[half dune]

And?

Meh I don’t take it too seriously I just enjoy what I enjoy. If you don’t like my opinions well that’s your problem not mine.

[onyx latch]

Whoa whoa what did I miss

Did I miss the regular crapping on IIs for being boondoggles?

[white birch]

Not quite

[onyx latch]

Oh, cool, it looks like I didn't

[white birch]

Different horrible take tho

[onyx latch]

Yeah IVs are the best by the standards anyone who actually knows anything about how militaries work

Especially real special forces

[onyx latch]

Dang

I came over here six shooters akimbo, ready to blast

[white birch]

Nah, man did that himself

[onyx latch]

What, with the creepy emphasis on kids?

[white birch]

Well that and the apparent note that inhumane treatment of sentient beings is "cool"
Very standard surface level 40k take tbh

[ruby knoll]

you know what the true mystery of 40k is

how all those massive bolter shells fit in those stubby little magazones

[onyx latch]

They clearly haven't read the first person perspective story about how servitors are made. From the perspective of the servitor to be.

[signal ivy]

lmfao

gonna make a video "Don't replace Master Chief with Neo from the Matrix, Seriously"

[signal ivy]

noooo

[glacial tartan]

I wonder why they chose such a long window. MCC has less options but still rotates weekly.

[foggy dune]

idk but if you played since launch, there are only 5 items in the exchange right now for you to choose from and 1 of them is a 30k point coating you can't even possibly have enough points to unlock. Another 2 are emblem packs and 1 leg utility and 1 is a needler helmet attachment

I am just holding on to the spartan points hoping the next batch of items are worth unlocking

But 5-6 weeks for it to add more items is extremely long, especially if the offering is lackluster

and all weekly/dailies and 14/20 items of the pass are for Spartan points, I would hope there would be more incentive for the exchange having good items

[coral zodiac]

hey did 343 make a good halo yet?

It's not a bad looking armor I guess?

Better than some armor, at any rate. Looking at you, Venator and Infiltrator.

[keen silo]

They actually left lol

[analog salmon]

Does anyone enjoy chasm slayer

[sturdy kernel]

How Sergeant Jonson is alive in Halo ODST?
Isn't he was dead on Halo 3?

[analog salmon]

ODST is during the war. He dies at the end of it

[ruby lake]

odst takes place before 3 i think

[shadow turret]

no.
Chasm is one of the worse maps in the game

[wide trout]

Seeker

[onyx latch]

DO NOT DISS MY KEURIG

[crystal iron]

Hello

Someone in eu have horrible times to search game?

2mins to quick play, btb 3-4 mins rofl thats crazy

Some time ago I had much smaller times

Game is dead in eu or what

[young glen]

QP is usually okay, but yes, in BTB I have to set it to expanded around this time.

[crystal iron]

Thats sad

Playing on any day other than Friday or Saturday leads to frustration due to long search times

[young glen]

Yup.

Sometimes I can't even find a match in BTB.

[crystal iron]

😢

[tulip tusk]

try custom browser if matchmaking isnt working out

[crystal iron]

I think this game needs searching for several playlists at once , because the player base is small and is additionally divided by a large number of playlists

[ruby lake]

true

it needs that matchmaking system thing like mcc

[young glen]

Match composer is coming.

[crystal iron]

Is there information somewhere on how this is supposed to work?

And when can we expect this feature?

[young glen]

It'll likely be similar to MCC's system.
And we don't have an ETA yet, other than it'll arrive within this year.

[raven night]

they seriously just couldn't stand to leave the blue flaming helmet code exclusive in one game? Lame Bungie.

[spare finch]

how do I make it impossible to join enemies with consistent 5000 score on big team

because it makes it so I get less kills

[crimson berry]

Okay, I don't get this game. I've had failed match starts and now sometimes I can't drop a weapon when holding V.

[celest heron]

getting more kills means getting worse teammates and/or getting better opponents.

[rugged quartz]

what

[radiant sundial]

I also need this to be elaborated, your not alone pins

[bronze junco]

What's your guys favorite halo?

[visual lava]

I have a question cause I'm super confused
Do the Sword Elites in Halo CE drop their swords or am I just dumb

[balmy wedge]

Nope! The moment they leave an Elite's hands and touch the ground they POP.

[visual lava]

Ah
Makes sense now lol

So I assume player used energy swords are like a pvp exclusive or something?

[celest heron]

bungie put it in mcc and infinite. I was also very mad at that. ugh

[balmy wedge]

Nope! You couldn't use them until Halo 2!

[visual lava]

Oh. Aw....

.w.
I wanted to commit stab

[balmy wedge]

They evade my grasp, gifted to the enemy for free, just like my hopes and dreams.

Just wait a game, the stabbing will begin soon, I promise.

[visual lava]

Don't the halo 2 energy swords also have inf ammo or was that 3

[balmy wedge]

They do in Halo 2, but exclusively in the multiplayer, if my memory is correct.

[empty forum]

Wait why was dual wield removed?

Just a question

[celest heron]

balancing issues. guns are too weak by themselves so you have to dual wield in order for them to be effective. it also negatively affected the golden triangle that bungie used.

[vale swallow]

Halo 2 backwash has so much vibe

[radiant sundial]

Bungie???

Also isnt the blue judgement helm a 343 employee exclusive

[ruby lake]

it is

[wide trout]

you can also get it if you kill someone with a traffic cone

(allegedly)

[plucky river]

what is this game? junk servers.

[onyx latch]

Feel free to ping me when you're discussing something I said.

But yes, I agree, it's been lackluster.

There's a difference between tempered concern and criticism and unrestricted pedantic loathing over 343i's acts. I like the basic direction but I dislike many things that are not the part that gets criticized.

[onyx latch]

More a matter of disliking being mentioned but not poked when something I said is being discussed.

[zealous dagger]

Really wish they would remove banshee and wasp from btb heavies

[analog salmon]

but tank is good?

Infinite's heavies rn feels really good to me. I'm just super confused why Oasis and Fragmentation are gone.

if you're getting ratio'd by banshees and wasps you're maybe just not aware of how many options there are for countering them

you're pretty much never far from a weapon that can be a nuisance to them in heavies

its where the weapon variants really shine

[loud brook]

any1 know what mode has the most players

Australian here struggling to find a single game and I wanna know what people think the most populated mode be

[white birch]

Or they've all been yanked by the enemy team, which is inevitably a 12 stack of high rank Onyx's who turn every game into a grind fest so they can get MK VI

[zealous panther]

I mean, people criticise halo 4 like reach doesn't exist. And halo 4 is basically a bit refined reach.(With awful art style on my opinion)

[zealous panther]

I encountered numerous times situation when this weapons on cd and you resp one the open field and got deleted in 2 seconds, just to pray to get resp near something that can do something about this situation.

[zealous dagger]

It is really good, but when players get the banshee or the wasp they just spam

[zealous dagger]

Same

[plucky river]

I loved halo 4's art style. the darker tone for the campaign made Halo feel like it's an adult game for those that's been with Halo since CE.

I don't like MCC, the disjointed nature of cut scenes and post-credits is horribly done and ruins immersiveness for all Halo games.

[zealous panther]

what this even means?

[signal ivy]

probably the mix of pre-rendered cutscenes and engine rendered gameplay in H2A

but that really only applies to one game

well 2 if you count the beginning and ending of Halo 4

in that case only the bookend cinematics apply

[vale swallow]

Real. Halo at it's core is a Rated-M, Dark, Adult, and a Horror game.

[plucky river]

1. Any campaign just ends. It doesn't play the end credits like the OG games do. I finished the fight and it goes back to MCC menu's. Horrible immersion.
2. Spartan Ops doesn't even play the cut scenes, I go to some menu to view them.

MCC is not a great experience.

[crystal iron]

Husky Raid is by far the most populated mode

People are always farming kills for xp

Currently in rotation is btb heavies so it’s not hidden lower down on the menu

[civic sundial]

You had to go to a separate menu to view the Spartan Ops prerendered cutscenes even back in Halo 4. Could it have been handled better? Sure but it's not exactly a major issue

[glacial tartan]

It’s okay nobody really cares about Spartan Ops anyway

Kidding of course it could be handled better but on the priority list that’s got to be near the last item

[civic sundial]

The concept of Spartan Ops is great but alas the execution of it was not the best

I think it needed to be handled more like a second campaign than what it was

Like, as much fun episode 7 was, it would've flowed better in the gameplay if it was just a single mission on Infinity

[onyx latch]

I dunno, I'm weird and prefer 'formulaic generic mission' layouts in games.

[civic sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-fi-hi-fi-rush-dies-from-cringe-meme-chai-gif-27556030

[balmy wedge]

While I don't agree that it's "not a great experience" I had the same frustration. I started Spartan Ops for the first time (I didn't have Xbox Live growing up so I could never play the missions) and had no clue what I was doing and who everyone was... Until I realized halfway through there were cutscenes in a very tiny box near the bottom. No clue why they wouldn't make them function identically to the other games, especially since 2: Anniversary manages pre-rendered cutscenes.

[onyx latch]

Well, firstly, it came out before Halo 2A.

[balmy wedge]

I'm referring to how it's implemented in the Master Chief Collection.

[agile lodge]

It’s not but there’s a whole list that’s dedicated to it

MCC isn’t the authentic experience but it’s the most convenient

[plucky river]

True.

[analog salmon]

for Halo 3 its pretty much a perfect port

you miss out on the menus and 5v5, but otherwise its very close to the original experience

[civic sundial]

I'd argue it's significantly better than the original given the new armour to unlock and the skins for weapons and vehicles

Not to mention that the additional maps are nice

[agile lodge]

It has a ton of bugs and graphical issues

Halo CE and 2 have more parity since they fixed most of it

[analog salmon]

Halo 3 just had the least issues to begin with

Reach, CE and 2 have more gameplay and visual issues I think

you can see a break down of the Halo 3 issues here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKO4nGXI7dM

[agile lodge]

I know that halo 3 has a few graphical issues

There’s also an issue where the character doesn’t pump the shotgun correctly from the third person perspective

[analog salmon]

i think the shadow issues are quite noticeable

but most of the issues are so minor. its not like reach where the entire blooming affect is broken if you up the resolution

[agile lodge]

Yeah

But halo 3 is a beautiful game, I hope it can retain its original form like the other games sometime down the line

I’m happy that they made CE and 2 look identical to its Xbox original versions

[analog salmon]

all three have small issues

then there's Reach that's just a mess

problem is just so much stuff doesnt scale properly with resolution

probably would have helped a ton if they added FSR 2 and DLSS so you dont have to render at 4k to avoid aliasing

[shrewd finch]

I know in multiplayer there's some hit detection issues with the tank gun, spartan laser, and maybe the sniper bloodshooting near corners of walls.

Though the ce hit detection is way worse

[celest heron]

they've improved the h3 hit detection which is likely why it's not as bad.

[ashen atlas]

No and that would be too op vehicles already have the ability to be a game changer

Making them inaccessible to the other team once someone gets in would be too much

Spartan laser is the only equalizer. And it wasn't even much of an equalizer in 5 cause those variants were so damn powerful

You have to be on a map with an edge and pretty close to one to pull that off

Tell that to the scorpion

Even banshee

Any game. Scorpion was dangerous in any game

If you got a really good player in a scorpion they control the map for good amount of time

No. Having corridors to hide in is necessary and that's how it controls the map. By making the open parts inaccessible

Yeah if you use the original ridgeline map it wouldn't be fair

The whole map is open and scorpion would just dominate with no challenge

Yeah

It's about the same as 4 and 5

Ttk isn't too different across all the titles except for ce where the magnum 3 shots

Also you will lose it if you get boarded, which would be the only reason you would blow it up

Not a high chance to survive when you leave the vehicle. Most of the team is gunning for it

And sticking the outside of the tank isn't as good as boarding it and this is assuming you picked up those grenades before entering which most don't

Hurts it doesn't destroy it though

Yes, but that makes it very op because at this point the scorpion has most likely done enough damage

It is. If you have a good player in the scorpion it will control the map

Team coordination or lasers. And lasers aren't a guaranteed answer. The laser charge gives away position and can be countered if the tank is quick

No

It takes a few seconds to charge up and gives away position with the little laser it gives off

And makes a distinct sound when charging

Not sure. Rockets are the only instantaneous thing I can think off. In terms of a weapon that will hurt the tank

Ah ok, gauss cannon. Another vehicle that is a pain in the butt

[shrewd finch]

I'm talking about after they've improved it

Oh wait nvm you were talking about why it's better than CE's hit detection my bad

[ashen atlas]

It depends on some things. Objective game modes is really the only reason to play aggressively and you don't want the whole team doing that

Team slayer you only play aggressively if you either know you're better than the opposition or if the enemy team is in a vulnerable situation

And even then it's dangerous to chase for risk of getting naded

[zealous panther]

Some calls it playing tactically, others call it camping

[left snow]

It's a legitimate strategy!

[analog salmon]

never playing aggressive in slayer will limit you

im the opposite style where i have to keep myself from over extending

but honestly when you have a completely passive team you just cant control the map well enough

you end up trapped in yard on solitude while the other team take shock/sniper and the power up. never gonna win a match like that

snowballing on solitude is almost always a skill issue with passive players

basically there's camping and there's holding a strong position / setup. most passive players dont know the difference

[glacial tartan]

Starting to hint at it with this comment; you have to play around your team. If your playstyle is always on either end of the spectrum (aggressive or passive) then you'll struggle if your teammates have different styles. Instead do what your team needs 😄

[gray merlin]

hello i would like to preach some words:

“A lot of our stuff is unlocked through playing the game, and only through playing the game.”

Halo Infinite | Multiplayer Overview

https://youtu.be/n-O7OuliQRY?si=epyD081JMWuW-1bK

[ruby knoll]

ok

your point being

[frosty condor]

Things change, and it did, from 2 years ago when that video came out

[ruby lake]

halo fans be like

"im gonna bring up a very old thing and make an argument abt it, even though everyone else did it before me!"

[rugged quartz]

It's stil a point and two years ago it was still not very much like how they described

[ruby lake]

yaeh

but i feel like people are just beating up the dead horse

speeaking of horses

i blame you horse armor from skyrim.

[ruby knoll]

the horse was turned into glue years ago then the glue was destroyed now they're just beating the floor where the horse and glue used to be

[zealous panther]

I like horses

[ruby knoll]

don't go to the glue factory

[civic sundial]

Hey, to be fair, at least they're not bringing up something from 12 years ago to use as something to complain about current 343i

[white birch]

Bringing it up is all they can do, because they have no actual say in the situation.
Its the screaming of the powerless, as reality and time rolls them over and pushes them flat like Dio Brando in that one episode of Jojo with the steamroller

And they have no Star Platinum with which to resist.

Things didnt work out the way they should have. Things happen.
Can you, as a fan, do anything about it? Probably not?
Cool. Say you piece, shrug, move on.

[tulip tusk]

the banished helm in the thing right now is pretty cool i hope they add a gun or vehicle eventually

[onyx latch]

Oh they usually don't know it's a thing that was argued somehow

[white birch]

The amount of them who think its a new idea no ones commented on before is kind of disheartening.

[cunning jungle]

Have they ever explained why there's no new ai content or new weapons in infinite? Seems like the PERFECT time to add the Spiker as I hear it was being worked on at one point

[onyx latch]

... Intentional joke?

[plucky river]

Mister Chief is not only the best AI in the game, he's very much a friend in the game. There's always new voice lines to discover. Well worth getting.

[analog salmon]

Queuing team slayer as soon as I get on always puts me in the sweatiest of sweat lobbies

Like I’m not complaining but my god I just woke up

[cunning jungle]

Nah, I stopped playing in 2021 and came back when they announced the exchange as I wasn't a fan of the fomo in the game

So I haven't kept up with anything

[onyx latch]

Amazing timing then, considering we were just making fun of people who don't keep up at all.

[civic sundial]

Counterpoint, Fret exists and it's basically like having Akechi from Persona 5 (Or the Curious Cat from RWBY or Chai from Hi-Fi Rush if you want another Robbie Daymond character instead) riding inside your head

[plucky river]

Fret is very good and he was my boy when the game launched but Mister Chief is next level.

[plucky river]

The jokes, the delivery of lines, the things he says - it's like a friend, he has your back, the tongue in cheek lore voice lines. There's a lot.

[cunning jungle]

Oh 😅 yeah genuinely not intential

[ruby knoll]

are the "people" who told you in the room with us now?

[cunning jungle]

There was the model found in the files a few years ago and recently the brute armour concept are featuring the weapon

[analog salmon]

I’ve somehow won 21 of my last 25 ranked games

Idk if it gets any better then this

It’s all downhill from here

[ruby knoll]

lots of things can be left in the files and concept art doesn't always mean it should be expected

[radiant sundial]

Your fault for choosing the second sweatiest gamemode

[analog salmon]

Tru I should probably start with btb but hey, warms me up faster ig

[crystal iron]

Hey everyone, just thought I would suggest going to the "Emblems" section in Infinite, and take a look at the very last one listed.

[civic sundial]

You mean the emblems based off of a tarot card deck?

[empty forum]

Lol the bundit was a bad addition tbh

[cunning jungle]

I don't think it's a bad addition but when it's the only gun that's been added it doesn't stand out as much

[empty forum]

Thats fair

[analog salmon]

the bandit was the best addition they could have made to the sandbox

it not replacing the sidekick as the starting weapon on maps with large sight lines like Cliffhanger and behemoth is tragic

[left snow]

100%. The Bandit is awesome. And not tailoring the load outs to the map/mode is a crime against humanity.

[analog salmon]

343 are so close sometimes. You've got the perfect formula for varying the starting weapon map to map

it's like they dont believe in themselves sometimes

like no way the bandit was just envisoned as a pickup

[crystal iron]

Is there a way to the stats on which games you play the most, on Xbox

[vale swallow]

forge map "reach: free roam" is such a good map. very open, but with hills. nice horizon, sky, and have the workings to be a good battle royale map.
BR on Planet Reach landscape is a phenomenal idea 💡

this is exactly what halo is missing IMO, a big open world... room to freely move.... ah.... I can finally breathe....

Not to mention that Halo Infinite looks aesthetically better from afar. All those small maps feel too dry and have too much unnecessary detail in comparison.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFVy8xj6rXI

[analog salmon]

🤨

its the opposite. Infinite has amazingly detailed environments at max LOD

once you are any distance away the LOD drops off completely

the campaign interiors and arena maps in this game are incredibly detailed.

the open world by contrast ends up looking last gen and doesn't hold up against even Halo 5

which isn't a criticism of the artists, its just the engine's capabilities are being stretched at that scale

[crystal iron]

When you’re in the game you’re checking, press the Xbox button and go to the controller icon at the top, should be where the achievements are and there’s a tab called stats

[tulip tusk]

is it compatible w firefight? ive seen it being hosted but mostly only do pve

[vale swallow]

I guess I just like Nature scapes, and outdoor maps more, and large ones at that. For example, the Halo level in Halo CE was quite aesthetically pleasing for me. That's what this forge map reminds me of. Aesthetics is probably subjective anyway. The usual halo infinite maps are good looking as well, but more detailed (to a fault IMO). And by that, I mean it's too realistic. (Like that illusion map)

[vale swallow]

I would think not. Too large. But idk fs.

[cyan canyon]

Does anyone know where the scorpion gun spawns on the new BTB maps? Havent been able to find it

[white birch]

Its in the middle on Quarentine. Havent been on any other maps enough to know

[zinc flax]

I’d love to see Prelates someday in the Games

[analog salmon]

no way, i thought i saw someone with the scorpion gun, thought i was trippingg

[white birch]

Its on several maps now yeah

[civic sundial]

I've played that map, it's not all that great. Way too easy to get spawn camped and it takes so long to get from one side to another in vehicles with how winding the vehicle paths are. And for an "open world" that map is limited by Forge canvas boundaries, it's smaller than Infinite's campaign map

[civic sundial]

Infinite's campaign is an open world, it's not the biggest but it still counts

Unless you mean you want Chief doing sidequests like getting six Kholo pelts for NPCs or gathering plants for cooking and crafting

Which is not really something that would make sense for Chief to do

[white birch]

Murdering every Banished leader within range and stealing their gear, however...

And breaking all their stuff.
Annhilating strong points.
Essentially breaking the Banished's hold on this entire portion of the ring and unifying stranded survivors into an effective and lethal resistance force with enough equipment to ensure proper security and retaking the Reverie.

Honestly the only thing that the missions missed, and a shame in my opinion, was a section where he utilizes one of the reconstruction towers as a massive anti-orbital laser to nail a couple of the Banished ships overhead

[civic sundial]

I would've liked it if we got to see the UNSC repurposing some of the Banished bases more

Like, we see them at Outpost Tremionus but it would've been cool if when you revisited The Tower or the Redoubt of Sundering and saw them under UNSC management

[noble urchin]

anyone else really enjoy being the driver in a warthog, especially in firefight? no? just me?? ok...

[cunning jungle]

It's a shame they never released any stances involving the ai's in infinite, I'd pay 5 bucks for a pack of stances involving them

[rain horizon]

The UNSC should have a failsafe against AI. Like I can't imagine someone like Isabel turning against the UNSC

[onyx latch]

They had a small amount, but it's not like you can enact a failsafe when the AI just depressurized your entire ship.

[civic sundial]

Also The Created wasn't exactly something they expected to happen when creating failsafes when AI were first being developed in universe as they wouldn't have been considering a primordial alien network that could theoretically allow AI to live longer

It'd be like complaining humanity built a city atop of where the Voi portal is even though nobody knew it was there for centuries

[crystal iron]

I don't know if I'm remembering incorrectly or not: But wasn't there some requests from the community for a Cortana AI model at one point?

[crystal iron]

hey everybody, does anyone got news on halo 7?

[loud brook]

yes

[crystal iron]

or a halo vr game (that isn't halo recruit)

[loud brook]

leaked characters that will be in it are

Master Chief
The Weapon
and probably eelites

[crystal iron]

nice

[loud brook]

watch mint blitz

he usually posts halo news

[crystal iron]

i watch him a lot

the og halo 2 servers one shocked me

[coarse dagger]

Nothing has been announced around it yet, keep a check on #announcements for any news

[crystal iron]

thanks

i've heard rumors that it's been in development since 2022, correct?

[civic sundial]

No VR game is in development as far as we know

[stoic latch]

yes it's in development

[crystal iron]

thanks guys

[stoic latch]

hope the campaign would be less mid

[crystal iron]

yeah

i hope they add mk vi gen 2 armor core to infinite

[crystal iron]

Elite armor core.
There, I said it, now nobody else has to.

[pallid blade]

Does anyone want to play halo with me?

Halo infinite

[crystal iron]

ooh nice

[crystal iron]

Just let me warn you, starting a discussion about playable elites can temporarily turn a channel into a metaphorical wildfire real quick if you aren't careful.

halo 4 started it its not my fault

but yeah that is true

I'm just saying to tread carefully.

thanks i will

You're welcome.

[cunning jungle]

Did they ever add that way to play as your multiplayer spartan in campaign? I know everyone was asking for it a few years back

[shadow turret]

Nope
Campaign hasn't been updated in a few years now

[cunning jungle]

I sort of jumped out just as they added coop, shame it never got added though. No way even with mods and stuff?

[shadow turret]

I think there's mods, but I'm not sure on that
I never really got into the modded side of Halo, even in MCC

[cunning jungle]

Fair enough!

[sturdy kernel]

And there goes my Halo 4 Legendary walkthrough
It took 2 days

[manic ice]

guys i want to play doom music when i play halo but my sister has her friend over what do i do

[shadow turret]

headphones?

[balmy wedge]

Invite them to play Halo.

[radiant sundial]

Just play the music

Let them listen to good music for once instead of the wackjobs on the radio

[manic ice]

i have one pair, i use them for the game

[manic ice]

LOL they would never play halo

[balmy wedge]

Not yet.

[manic ice]

👍 (its 4:20 pm where i am rn 🔥 )

[celest heron]

you like her or something?

[manic ice]

[manic ice]

💀 shes 9

[radiant sundial]

PFFFFTTTTT

[celest heron]

she won't comprehend stuff at that age

[radiant sundial]

Yoo we in the same timezone

[manic ice]

[manic ice]

i dont know what you mean and im thinking the worst rn

im just gonna go for it and blast bfg division

[celest heron]

I'm talking about the music

[manic ice]

lol my sister and her friend only care about sephora and tiktok (both of them are 9) so they wont understand metal

[radiant sundial]

Sad

[manic ice]

guys help my wifi is slow so halo 5 is gonna finish installing for me in 9 hours 😭

[topaz pier]

What type of music they listen to?

[manic ice]

Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo... lmao thats it

[topaz pier]

Dann that's kinda bland

[manic ice]

mhm

2 artists and nothing else 🙄

meanwhile im over here listening to metal, grunge, rnb, rap, and opera

psychedelic rock as well

[topaz pier]

Let's see

Metal, rnb, rock, hip hop, soundtrack, and honestly others that I can't really keep track

Oh and disco

[balmy wedge]

The contrast of the last one compared to the energies of the other music preferences is hilarious. I honestly get it, but it still sticks out.

[celest heron]

they're little kids. their music will expand when they get older.

[left snow]

And at 9yo - their "taste" in music will be all about fitting in. A little bit older and it sometimes becomes more about "standing out". It probably takes into your late 20's or 30's for you to learn to appreciate music for what it is - appreciating multiple genres for what they provide - and be comfortable just listening to what makes you happy.

[zinc flax]

Do you guys think the Covenant High Council debates are like the UK Parliament banter?

[main walrus]

Is Halo reach possible in solo LASO ? I did the first mission some days ago, but there are two that seems a little bit hellish to me. The one in space and the last one (before lone wolf)

[civic sundial]

It is possible but it's hard

Pretty sure there's an achievement for doing LASO solo

[sturdy kernel]

It really hard and even without skulls

[main walrus]

I saw an achievement for LASO, not SLASO

[main walrus]

Does the speedrun achievement take into account the time when you die and redo a part of the mission or not ?

[keen lark]

Are there any recommended playlists to find matches in halo 5?

Can’t seem to find anything in quick play

[stoic latch]

why halo 5

isn't infinite free

[keen lark]

Yeah I’m aware. Just in the mood for halo 5

[vast nova]

should i get Bro CE OG or CEA (For his 360 cuz he cant get an xbox one atm)

[analog salmon]

European CE is pretty hard to play cause 25fps
