[celest heron]

Static Respawn Zones have been enabled for all symmetrical maps when playing BTB: Slayer. Team spawns will no longer flip in this mode.
spawn camping is back baby! 😐

[ruby lake]

oh

[white birch]

Oh so thats why every game of BTB turns into a hellstorm of Wraith shots and snipers...

[dusty temple]

So like, I have 84 ninja and an arena rank of gold 3. Is that special 🥲

[ruby lake]

idk man

[white birch]

It means you know how to find people who dont know how to use their motion tracker.

[dusty temple]

Ranked doesn’t have one

I forgot when I came back lol

[white birch]

Then your spending too much time showing off and not trying hard enough actually to win.

Ninjas mean nothing. I get them by accident. Same with 360s

[dusty temple]

Fair, I have a win percentage of 43 and a kd of 1.04

[white birch]

Your nowhere near close

[dusty temple]

Close to what

[ruby lake]

i just shoot when people are standing right at that dot thingy ingame

[dusty temple]

You’re

[ruby lake]

and tbh
idc about what medals i get or all the extra points or whatever

i just want to win a game

even if i play with this controller with a broken cord

[rare dirge]

Hi people

[radiant sundial]

Same

[radiant sundial]

"You're*" If you're going to correct someone's grammar, do it the right way.

[hollow bobcat]

Unless I missed it, why hasn't Halo Infinite released grifball yet?

And I mean officially as in through a public playlist instead of community playlists (If they created such a mode).

[dusty temple]

If they’re gonna insult me then they should do it the right way. Also, did you forget Discord shows edits?

[dusty temple]

We can only hope that they will

[radiant sundial]

Did you know adding a space at the end of your post (which gets deleted anyways) shows as an edit?

[radiant sundial]

No, and tbh it doesnt need to be an official mode

The community can (and will) always do a better job of making the mode than 343

[onyx latch]

Your'r'rn't

[hollow bobcat]

I don't really trust the community because they often choose the worst maps, have the worst rule sets, and it's very rare to even find a game mode like that. I would just like it to have its own rotational playlist slot or maybe permanent depending on how popular it is.

[slender aspen]

Did anybody buy the mark V when it was In store?

[chrome mauve]

I did when It first came out

[white birch]

Literally the Tuesday it rolled out. Havent regretted it.

Cinder Ring looks so good

[ivory glacier]

I still don’t know what spartan points are

[open umbra]

Sort of, because we don't have any news about the campaign team in 343 after the layoff, which means the new project that have some sort of narrative will have a higher chance to be either a remaster, remake or spartan ops like small campaign for infinite (considering that they are still able to do small stories like halo chronicles).

Yet I think they should stick to slipspace engine instead of UE5 consider the recent Hellblade 2's GPU bottleneck (and burn the GPU to such high temperature) issue and the 30 FPS on XSX (I know it was pushing the graphics to its limits), I highly doubt they'll able to push the game to 120 FPS at minimum if they use the latter one. Plus the assests were already in the slipspace engine, which means the actual development time cost can be much lower than using the UE5.

Also consider it should be a complete package, the release date should be at least 2028.
But first of all, we should wait for 343 to confirm it.

I would rather they do a proper "relaunch" for infinite paired with something certain affinity make than a "remake".

[open umbra]

About Spartan Points, I don't know if 343 have the ability to add a feature that let us able to convert those to Credits (maybe 10 : 1 or 100 : 1 conversion rate?) if we purchase the campaign.

[shadow turret]

Spartan Points are for the Exchange, which is a new tab in the Shop menu
old stuff from past promos, Twitch Drops, events, and a few unreleased items will rotate in over time, so anything that wasn't a Premium shop item will eventually show up in there someday

and in the MCC its a similar deal
you earn them for playing, and can purchase cosmetics for all the different games within the MCC (CE through 4, including Reach and ODST)

[limpid falcon]

what do yall think about the halo tv show

[stoic latch]

Jimmy Rings and his AI friend Cortana

[limpid falcon]

all about the power of ✨✨feelings✨✨

[drowsy nest]

please fix local no longer giving us local games, we are averaging 180ping insterad of 30

[open umbra]

Well... we do need a proper server region selector like MCC in infinte.

[full warren]

This sbmm is so depressing, to balance a team it gave me two 1/12 and 1/14 players just so the teams are balanced...

Like it really can;t find a more balanced team than giving me two noobs who have nevber palyed the game before

[left snow]

A couple of years down the track it is what it is. The population isn't getting any bigger.

You only lost 44:50 - so it was a close enough game.

All you can do is work with the team you're given.

The noobs died 26 times between them - could you and your other capable player have helped out with that?

[crystal iron]

unironic opinion, why is truth and reconciliation so terrible (halo ce)

[finite prawn]

how is it terrible

[crystal iron]

only bc keyes is so unbelievably squishy and too stupid to take cover when he is not wearing any armor

[violet mist]

big team battle matches are not long enough for the amount of que time it takes

just as ur starting to have fun and found ur driver buddy the game ends

[finite prawn]

gotta kill the enemies faster than keyes can catch up to you

[crystal iron]

the prisoners have to be in the one room in order for the game to progress and usually keyes is in there by the time the dialogue finishes

[finite prawn]

if your talking about the big room with the invisible elites you should still be getting there before keyes does

[crystal iron]

I get there before keyes does, but the dialogue happens and then by the time its done, hes made it in

[finite prawn]

what is he dying to then lol

[crystal iron]

he's made it in by the time the dialogue is done and the like 12 or so unggoy come in

maybe its a skill issue bc this is my first time playing on legendary??? but

[finite prawn]

if you have marines alive you can hide behind the structure and snipe the grunts that come in that room

[crystal iron]

yeah maybe

[finite prawn]

it will work

[open umbra]

The match composer really needs to have further categorization, the ui feels so unorganized

[open niche]

Wtf is with halo mcc
Halo 2 is bugged
I have done all levels on heroic and 2 didnt count when i was co op with a mate
So i went back and did them
And then did last misson
And the achivements for
Do all halo 2 levels on easy / normal / heroic are not unlocking does my head in

[zinc flax]

Cringe warning ||Just woke up from a really stressful Halo dream, was escaping with Thel and John from an Flood-infected (as it was spreading) High Charity after having killed Truth, we would use one of the dropships to escape, but end up crashing back on a different level of the City, hearing and seeing different alien races run from the Flood & scream in terror. Somehow we’d end up back in the “Pilot area” and saw we were on a collision course with an island on Earth with a cruise ship docked, then everything went black for me.||

[chrome mauve]

ok
cool story 👍

[zinc flax]

It’s not even a story, I just woke up 20 minutes ago

Drenched in sweat rn

I’m not even on the second part yet, it felt so real

[open niche]

Sounds like you need to lay off the green

[zinc flax]

I don’t do drugs, I’m 5 months clean

[chrome mauve]

W

[vestal cypress]

halo

[crystal iron]

it worked, thank you

[crystal iron]

you ought to just write this down ill be so real

its a rad story, honestly but

its a lil offputting

also initially thought ur pfp was another t'vaoan/kig-yar but sadly its a sergal

[finite prawn]

np and good job 💯

[celest heron]

you might be playing too much halo.

[agile lodge]

Your brain came up with an insane lore dump

It’s crazy how impressive that our own conscience can think of bizarre themes

[rare dirge]

So I just downloaded this game the other day would anyone wanna get a group together to play?

I’ve played a couple of games

[clever light]

lets play firefight

[shadow turret]

I'd be down sometime depending on timezones
I have way too many hours in Infinite lol, and have kinda been meaning to get into MCC again

[trail dagger]

Can someone possibly help me understand how to sort out custom games on MCC? Wanna get some funny ones going tonight

[full warren]

They are only good for bullet sponge, they literally walk past the OS and never picked it up or even if they did they didn't know how to use it, I can't even help them because I do not know what button it is on the xbox to activate items lol. I only know PC commands

literally these gusy were literal noobs, they have no idea how this game worked, they didn't even know how to change weapon as I never saw them switch weapon

[zinc flax]

Tysm ❤️

But It was a dream that’s currently fading away

[radiant sundial]

If your playing infinite, it tells you what the keybinds are over the equipment counter

And for controller, (if your playing stock keybinds) it should be rb for equipment

[zinc flax]

SADLY?????

[full warren]

I mean I know what it is on my keybind but I never used a controller in my life I dont even know what RB is lol, is that the trigger, R = right?

[analog salmon]

Right bumper RB right trigger RT. I don’t even know the default controller binds tho

[celest heron]

to mark things, it's the up button on the dpad.

unless you meant using equipment

[radiant sundial]

Its the button marked rb, the one right above the trigger

[radiant sundial]

Thank God i still use stock keybinds lol

[amber elm]

2 better then 3

which is then better then 4 and 1

but cant reach reach in greatness

[analog salmon]

1 is number 1

[crystal iron]

1 is soo good it feels weirdly modern and intutive for a early 2000s fps

[amber elm]

1 is a walking sim, and is kinda overrated from a gameplay perspective

[crystal iron]

i would argue but ur right but you must also repsect it alot since it relase in 2001

[amber elm]

hmm idk, some great games released in 2001 like half life

and so forth

[crystal iron]

same year as red faction , serious sam first encounter etc

[signal ivy]

power rangers game best of show currently

[crystal iron]

half life 2 relased in 2004 but half life was monunental and that was in 1998

half life a blessing from the lords

[amber elm]

yes ik which is why i brought up the og half life

[crystal iron]

yes yes but its half life lad we cannot compare its godly

but you are right

[amber elm]

no thats stupid, that is not how comparisons work

anyways best game of all time is lone echo 1(imo)

[crystal iron]

i'm just messin ofc but its half life its a lightning in bottle

[amber elm]

ohh ik, have u played HA alyx

[crystal iron]

no i haven't but if i would buy a vr device it would be for it

i like the fact that its an actualy triple a valve class game on vr

[amber elm]

ehhh if you were to buy a vr device it should be for lone echo, it is 100x better then half life alex, it is imo greatest game of all time vr and not

[crystal iron]

let me check it out and get informed

[amber elm]

mhm i mean i think almost all the half lifes have full vr support at this time

[crystal iron]

brb

[crystal iron]

looks cool and it has that og alien movies artstyle

lighting looks cool

facial expressions are uncanily good for a vr title

expressions feel real rather than move like wich is a interesting choice

[amber elm]

it honestly reminds me of like ||the flood(the bad guys) from halo but also in space|| idk lol

[amber elm]

might be facially captured thropugh some kinda catpture foftware idk

[crystal iron]

kinda has that la noire thing going on but its no just a gif layed on a face and its more grounded rather than movie like

[amber elm]

yeh i see that

[crystal iron]

they don't try to go for the oscar they try and sucseed to mimic natural human expressions

would love this tech on a halo game tbh

[amber elm]

the trailer doesnt do i justice, honestly trailer seems bad

[amber elm]

fr that would be insane

[crystal iron]

was watching a gameplay preview

[amber elm]

hale 7 with facial capture?

[crystal iron]

this would work with emphasising chief or any other spartan suit main charachters actions

since they are huge and cool

like other marines sizing them up or being relaxed when chief shows up

anything is posible if we ask why not rather than why

[amber elm]

no i was thinking for cortana and such or any character that doesnt have a blocked face, like imagine halsey in reach but with realistic facial capture

[amber elm]

oml that would be sick

[crystal iron]

yeah it would give a lot of subtle depth

[amber elm]

yeh

[crystal iron]

its open for exprimentation

[amber elm]

i mean technically you can mod the game to implement these features

[crystal iron]

well yeah but 343 doing it would be better ... its better that this feature would be organic and not uncanily try hardy as la noire

[amber elm]

maybe, but passions projects can end up better then anything a AAA studio can do

[crystal iron]

yeah like cry of fear

[amber elm]

especially since theyd be only working on bringing 1 specific thing to a game, instead of making an entire game

also no deadlines

[crystal iron]

indeed but i rather see some intiative and experimention from game devs of the times

i think they are playing too safe

[amber elm]

yeh altho iont rlly believe in 343 anymore

[amber elm]

join the vr gaming space, vr is very experimental in what studios are doing

[crystal iron]

can't cuz poor but i enjoy it from where i am

[amber elm]

i am poor tooooooooooo

i hate being poor

[crystal iron]

good or even interesting game design makes me happy

[crystal iron]

money be damned

[amber elm]

yes lets go back to the old days when money didnt exist, screw the Lydians for that

[crystal iron]

lets trade rice and haye

[amber elm]

lmao frfr

[crystal iron]

lets buy games with terracotas

hayebalegaming47

gn lad i need good sleep i had the worst day of my life

[amber elm]

lol that is unironically a good gamer tag

[crystal iron]

from the early tf2 era

[amber elm]

yes have a good one, i was also boutta head out peace

[crystal iron]

bota hed ot

[tough temple]

Did they fix local matchmaking in Infinite yet?

[high raft]

What's broken about it?

[ruby lake]

ugh

[bitter panther]

Is it just me or does xp in infinite feel significantly less than before the patch? I’ve been playing firefight, I’m about to finish my ultimate challenge and I’m not even to level 5 yet.

[left snow]

Bullet sponges can be very useful. If you can work out how to run with them and use them to attract / distract the enemy.

If you could save them dying three times - and your competent team mate did the same thing - then the game is up for grabs.

I appreciate it's hard when they are so raw. But the flipside is that you are going to be much better than the opposition team. As per your K/D in that game. So, if the W is important to you, and it appears that it is, you need to work out what you can do to elevate your team.

If you let them run around by themselves you are just feeding the enemy easy kills.

[spare finch]

I completed Halo Reach on Legendary

it may have been a pain, but it was ridiculously fun

[crystal iron]

damn

[crystal iron]

yea i sorta don't rlly like sergals, they're sorta lame in the fields of furry aliens

[crystal iron]

my pleasure, nearly done with silent cartographer (i grew up playing halo ce trial so i know it like the back of my hand)

[spare finch]

ugh it says I didn't complete the campaigns on legendary (which I did)

it says unplayed for all campaigns 💀

[celest heron]

check waypoint to see if you have to claim it on there and you can check the campaign missions to see if they all counted.

[spare finch]

it didn't count it 💀

quickplay says all missions complete, mission select shows all missions completed on legendary

[celest heron]

did you go on waypoint?

[dusky nova]

Is there a bug with infinite's firefight only being gruntpocalypse since the match composer update? I think I've done like 10 games of firefight and never had it not be gruntpocalypse

Then again, might just be that a) of 3 gamemodes in each firefight playlist, two are gruntpocalypse, and b) Maybe people are filtering out the one that isn't gruntpocalypse for easier challenges/xp?

[finite prawn]

what didnt count

[celest heron]

might just be bad luck. I'd unselect the grunt ones.

[celest heron]

this
#general-chat message

[crystal iron]

like CE

[finite prawn]

have no clue about that then

[shadow turret]

Most likely that, Ik I just run Gruntpocalypse Fiesta, but you can just deselect it if you don't wanna play Gruntpocalypse, since there is still normal FF games too

[crystal iron]

Hello

[spare finch]

Is it just me or has btb wait time increased with the update

[radiant sundial]

Considering that it made it so that a good portion of modes in a playlist are going to be depopulated, im not suprised

[celest heron]

yeah. I'll take a longer wait though over playing something I don't like.

[radiant sundial]

me who just plays quickplay and ffa

Only thing i dont like is the h5 remake map that i forgot the name of

[celest heron]

the rig

[radiant sundial]

No, the one that is all grey and looks dead

[shadow turret]

Solitude

[celest heron]

plaza

although solitude looks dead as well.

[analog salmon]

solitutde is good for strongholds

and its alright for slayer

the team with better positioning will always win pretty much

it teaches you there's more to the game then just running in a direction and shooting at people

[celest heron]

unless they're all newbs

[analog salmon]

very tru

[celest heron]

but that can be fun too

[analog salmon]

its probably the best map for turning a player who's mechanically good into a good player

cause the spawning is so predictable and exploitable. you realise that and then you can apply the same logic across the game

[white birch]

Still need to work on that myself honestly. I don't have the spawns down

[analog salmon]

just look at where your team mates are

its actually pretty simple

[shadow turret]

Dunno if you know Shyway on YT, but he did a vid on spawns a while back

[white birch]

Oh thanks

[frank pendant]

can someone please answer this question. I can't get halo infinite to load. it keeps crashing on the startup of the game. i've updated all bios/drivers. cleared all unnecessary data, reinstalled the game. verified files. and it still gets caught up loading and crashes. thoughts???

[frank pendant]

Thank you!

[drifting gazelle]

I had this problem years ago. I had to go back to mission select and see if it said it was done. If not you will have to look at achievements and go by that.

[spare finch]

mission select says all missions for said campaigns are done

on legendary

[celest heron]

mission select in the campaign menu?

[spare finch]

yes

[celest heron]

you need to look on waypoint to see if they counted.

[ivory glacier]

They need to do something different with this match composer

[clever totem]

hey guys i was playing with a friend firefight on the map rendez vous. I have activated all 3 terminals but the gates for the garage woud not open, is this a bug?
because we wanted to go for the warthog but it did not work to open the garage

[celest heron]

probly. didn't open for me either

[smoky stone]

So hard to get out of Plat in Ranked Slayer...I just want to get to Diamond so I can get away from the noobs...

[smoky stone]

different how?

[open umbra]

I'm glad the match composer is mode based, but they should have at least another layer or two for categorising the playlists.
I'd prefer two layers just in case if there's too many modes in that category:

1. Game mode type such as CTF for classic CTF, Covert One Flag, Husky Raid and so on.
2. Mode label just like what they added before the name of each gamemode like social, core etc.
   The UI for now feels cluttered.

And the fact that we still need to wait for playlists to be loaded in, shows that 343 should put some data to client side rather than keeping them in their server.

[craggy wadi]

Find a diamond that is willing to play with you

[analog salmon]

that wont help, just puts you with higher rank players

if ur in plat you probably need to work on ur game sense. watch your damage dealt, you should be landing more damage then your team mates consistently to get out of plat

if you've ever ran around the map looking for the enemy not knowing where they are, that's probably why your plat

[neon jasper]

Hopefully we get some news today or hint at something

[open umbra]

I'll just keep my expectations very low.

[valid smelt]

evidently, that turned out to be a wise choice

[iron bobcat]

(we got nothing)

[vast nova]

should i get The MCC on Xbox for Local Multiplayer

[balmy cave]

yeah it was bad

[astral tide]

I'm not going to say I'm not disappointed we're not getting any news.

[smoky stone]

Im constantly team shooting. other players however are not.

[cloud anchor]

was the NVDIA bug fixed?

[signal ivy]

nvidia has not released an updated driver to resolve the issue

[foggy torrent]

Sort of expected it. Had to go in thinking we weren't going to get anything at all.

[full warren]

WTF.... I was removed from game because of easy anti cheat

Was there an hacker in my game? because I literally reported someone for hacking and bam I got this message

[crystal iron]

I wouldn't even be surpised if whatever cheats these people are using tells them when another player reports them, so then they ban you, it happens in gta5

[full warren]

Like the guy was teleporting on my screen... so I report him and the very next game I get that message kicking me out of a game like wtf.

[left snow]

Maybe it was a connection glitch. They were teleporting on your screen. You were teleporting on theirs. So you both reported each other.

[crimson berry]

Well, this is going great. First match of BTB I get, it's almost over on a map I have no clue about and leave before the end as I'm just not helping. Second match, I'm the only one trying to get two vehicles from our base that are camping it. Get sniped, realize no one else is gonna bother and leave it.

Shoulda played something else. :/

[white birch]

Play Squad Battle

[crimson berry]

No thanks.

Less frustrated by the mode, more frustrated at my performance. Should be better than this but here we are.

[tribal kite]

are servers down? seems like they just went down

[silk flare]

Are the Halo servers shut down for you guys

It's shut down from me and 3 of my friends

Are they updating the game right now

I don't know why Halo servers just went down

[tulip tusk]

Yeah servers seem to be down

[wooden briar]

Servers are indeed experiencing issues.

[errant sparrow]

My fault fr

[gloomy minnow]

THE SERVERS ARE DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

https://tenor.com/view/crying-drowning-water-gif-12994039

[errant sparrow]

I just wanna kill grunts 😭😭

https://tenor.com/view/toothless-make-it-stop-how-gif-20674409

[gloomy minnow]

now i gotta resort to fortnite... Thanks lol

[coarse dagger]

If you're still having issues with servers, please make sure to file an outage report: https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us

[lyric brook]

the servers are acting up

[tribal dagger]

Ye

[muted pebble]

Hey, how can i fix the crashes in my infinite?

it happens since the last act

[grave ether]

Probably unrelated. Me and my friends were getting kicked out constantly

Something's not right with the servers right now

[latent acorn]

I got in a match. So the servers are up for me at least.

[lyric brook]

yea i got into a match too but it keeps kicking me offline out of nowhere. they gotta fix the servers

[fast prawn]

does anyone wanna do legendary campaigns 1-reach-4

preferably a group of ppl

[sturdy kernel]

Go solo play
It's more funnier and harder
I test it on myself

[half abyss]

solo and co-op have their respective strengths

you wanna have fun? go co-op
you wanna git gud? solo

[neon jasper]

so no new Halo game, a remaster at that, till 2026. Jesus

[half abyss]

The job listings for the next game JUST got filled, dont expect a teaser overnight

[neon jasper]

right however a new game should have been in development already lol

unless they are planning to add new content to infinite

[coarse dagger]

They only announced at the start of the year that teams had started to work on new projects, too early to start discussing details. With that, definitely wouldn't look at things being released or announced this year

[gray swan]

Miss the old days when they started development shortly after the old game and supported the current game too

[narrow shore]

Halo infinite campaign is fun, me and a friend were playing earlier through a misson and I had a stupid idea with a plasma coil so I grabbed it ran at a elite and said "special delivery for mister elite" and threw the plasma coil at his face killing it and my friend

[stoic latch]

meanwhile theres like a new assasin creeed game every year

same as call of duty

[vale swallow]

call of duty is innovating in movement mechanics

[lusty wraith]

• sprint in all directions

• adding options to mitigate button presses

We're literally just going back to normal movement but with animations 💀

[vale swallow]

yes, it's probably only a little bit better than halo infinite

[onyx latch]

In-place sprinting like that has been in games since 1993.

[vale swallow]

check out black ops 6

[onyx latch]

I did.

And the first thought I had seeing that movement system was:

https://tenor.com/view/seen-it-marty-back-to-the-future-ive-seen-this-one-gif-5960361

It ain't innovating, lmao, it's going back to the past.

Just so happens that the past had a lot of good ideas.

[sullen owl]

What would be neat is if they did floor collision mapping to get rid of all the sliding and diving outside and over debris. On a nicely polished floor I can see it, sliding on railroad tracks? Nah.

[vale swallow]

The diving and turning 360 degrees, I thought was innovating.
Which game had that before?

[onyx latch]

I'm like 90% sure a game has tried this, but ultimately avoided doing it because it removed fun and became less predictable.

[onyx latch]

Max Payne, for starters. Plus Mirror's Edge.

Doom had omnidirectional sprinting.

[sullen owl]

Helldivers 2 is the latest example.

[onyx latch]

Which also almost directly ripped off Metal Gear 5.

[sullen owl]

The character animations and bones look identical, yeah. lol

[onyx latch]

Which... For once I'll say is fine. It scratches an itch.

[spare finch]

Actually you can’t walk, you literally just sprint the entire time (unless you hold ctrl to walk in doom 2016)

[sullen owl]

Halo 3 also had omnidirectional sprinting.

[onyx latch]

Wrong. You have to manually tell it to turn on.

[spare finch]

Eternal removed walking entirely

[onyx latch]

Auto run has been a selectable option since Doom 1's launch in 1993.

Otherwise you have to press a keyboard bind.

[vale swallow]

I still think it's great that they are adding these movement mechanics to the game, stolen from other innovative games but nonetheless, a good evolution.
The dynamic + progressive peek over corner was another thing I liked.

[spare finch]

Sure you can sprint in the old doom games

but with the seboots you’re always sprinting

[onyx latch]

'Stolen' is a bad way to view it and is a large part of why Halo gets as much undeserved flak as it does, when it's been 'stealing' since CE.

Did Halo invent the concept of vehicle boarding in 2004?

No, it borrowed from GTA.

[wooden briar]

Agreed. There is zero value in some game "getting the credit" for being first to implement any particular feature. We just want fun games for our money, that's all. If they stand on the shoulders of a zillion lesser games beforehand, it's just called Being a Good Game.

[vale swallow]

I'm not trying to bait... I just use wrong words... guys... stolen... alright.. wrong choice...

...let's see... borrowed.. no.. hmm

I need coffee

[onyx latch]

I think it's important to remember your history to better inform your criticism and judgement.

[paper estuary]

Hmmm. 🤔 like to ask

[onyx latch]

Which is more my point.

[wooden briar]

just "used". No one gets to keep a place in the nonexistent Museum of Who Gets Credit for What Feature. It's a service and if someone makes a good-quality one, that's great.

[limpid python]

i need some popcorn

🍿

[paper estuary]

There are game specific features I like about each halo game

Halo Reach onward is sprint. So I often use it for ram attacks

[wooden briar]

Definitely agree with the principle, and though we may disagree on its application in this case, you know I got nothing but love for you

[onyx latch]

That game didn't have a 'ram attack' though?

[paper estuary]

Run + Melee

[limpid python]

i want assasinations back 😦

[paper estuary]

In Halo 5 it’s Spartan charge

[wooden briar]

What did the poor sheep ever do to you though?

[onyx latch]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-battle-gif-23571223

And 5 had an actual Spartan ramming attack :>

(That people, for some ridiculous reason, hated, despite being one of the single coolest things Halo ever added)

[paper estuary]

Since I can’t use sprint to body slam anybody

[limpid python]

that is too much for me unless i play with mouse and keywoard

[paper estuary]

I have to use grappleshot as a way to body slam

Hook onto others and body slam them

[vale swallow]

Why so much attention on someone's opinion on the internet?

[onyx latch]

I honestly feel 5 would've been a complete hit on PC.

[paper estuary]

I don’t always shoot. I often resort to suckerpunches

[limpid python]

i played back in the day halo 5 forge pc i like it but in cosole with controller i dont like it

[onyx latch]

I mean, I don't necessarily disagree that it's a good idea to borrow mechanics. I just think it's a mistake to not know where they came from, so as to track the evolution of the mechanic.

[wooden briar]

1. I was agreeing with you. 2) You all were discussing your opinions already and I'm free to jump in.

[onyx latch]

Problem is that melee is kind of a crutch tool in Halo.

[wooden briar]

*clutch tool

[paper estuary]

But I wish Halo Infinite takes the feature of spam-melee from COD MW2019

You literally throw a flurry of punches at anybody

[limpid python]

@wooden briar are you the guy from the september update in halo infinite? back in 2022

[onyx latch]

It can be both

[wooden briar]

That is very flattering, but no

[vale swallow]

That sounds nice, and realistic. So when you dock your weapon, you can throw a series of melee moves, because it's more realistic. Just punching once doesn't make sense. I would imagine Chief knows Karate 😭

Uppercutting an elite would be so awesome

[stoic latch]

I wwonder if Atriox had a tummy ache after chief did that to him

[paper estuary]

How about. Parrying berserking brutes punches

[onyx latch]

Problem is that if a Spartan's punching someone it's liable to just dent their skull in.

[limpid python]

i will never forget that day (halo 3 odst saxon start playing)

[paper estuary]

How about a Wing-Chun fight against Atroix. Or you want to fight him the Thanos way

I enjoy beating brutes to a pulp

[stoic latch]

would be so funny if you can just charge at enemies using 400 kilos of titanium as a weapon

like those annoying brutes in firefight

[paper estuary]

How about spamming grenades and rockets for that matter

For hunters I would be spamming a lot of explosives at them

Teabagging them is the ultimate throphy for killing

Extra-humiliation 🙂

[stoic latch]

i like gruntpocalypse firefights

[paper estuary]

I always give the firefight bosses extra humiliation by teabagging them

Warden eternal and escharum not spared

[vale swallow]

Those charging Brutes are so scary. Chief must weigh like 4 times less. But this is true for almost all video games, the main character has plot armor.
Otherwise, I can only imagine using something like armor lock to ward off charging brutes.

[paper estuary]

In Both Halo 2 and Halo Infinite. The Brute Beserkers are often the ones who riled me up

And when I saw them. I wanna throw melees back at them

And bag them as an extra token of humiliation

Anybody who enjoys bullying brutes. You get what I meant

[stoic latch]

the thing is canonically spartans probably can dodge them but in gameplay nah

[paper estuary]

Only players arrogance can kill Spartans lol

[stoic latch]

yeah I hate brutes and unggoy so much

like at least the elites have a redemption arc with thel vadam and his sos

meanwhile Unggoy and brutes are straight up villians lore wise

[paper estuary]

If I have to say which are the woest enemies I have ever dealt with. I would say. Promethean Knights, some Flood Strongmen and Wardens

So hard to kill them even if you button mash the melee button

[vale swallow]

Brutes are like charging bulls basically. I don't know the name of the counter maneuver, but those guys that deal with Bulls, they strafe to the side and let the charging bull run past them.... what's that called?
Would like to see that animation in Halo someday.
Overall, I feel like graphics have reached close to reality with unreal engine, but animations or their applications in games are still quite last-gen.

[paper estuary]

When I get super furious about wardens killing me in Halo 5 Firefighr. I resort to speed abilities and a gravity hammer

And chop them in a flurry of gravity hammer strikes

I often use the hammer to vent anger at enemies

Anyways, time to button mash melee on more brutes

I want to try to get the most kills in every firefight and be the fastest killer there is

[neon jasper]

yea but i mean....not exactly great games

[scarlet shuttle]

I always hear people saying how they ranked Onyx during the begining of the game and stopped playing afterward, while I’m here playing almost everyday since release, 7 - 8 out of 10 games being the MVP, and never made it as far as Gold VI.

Are people hypocrite liar? 😂 it’s always the same “I was Onyx” everyone was Onyx besides me?

[shadow turret]

I've only peaked P3, but I'm sitting P2 rn
Never got above P3 in any lists

[limpid python]

What they do IS lost match on porpuse in no rank playlist, and then they find a easy match in ranked

[scarlet shuttle]

That’s a thing? Didn’t know 🤔

[limpid python]

SBMM

[scarlet shuttle]

If only I knew, one time I was 1 victory away from Platinum 😦 but I tend to be matched with bad players.

Wish I had a solid team of 4

[shadow turret]

I'm on basically every day to play, but idk how schedules and stuff would work

[scarlet shuttle]

I lost 13 match in a row after. Gave up on ranking. (People quitting is almost always the reason of my loss)

[shadow turret]

I rarely solo in Ranked anymore tbh

[scarlet shuttle]

You do well to not play solo in ranked. Before, you could choose to play against other solo/duo only. Since the player base dropped dead, they removed that option

[sturdy kernel]

Solo ranking is like nine circles of hell

[sturdy kernel]

It is playable, but really hard

[cunning jungle]

Infinite crashing on start up, any advice?

[glacial tartan]

#halo-support-news message

[vale swallow]

funny thing - if I roll back nvidia to previous version, I get discord black screen. if I roll back to new, I get halo infinite crash

looks like I might have to rollback 2 versions

[livid fable]

juggernaut hide and seek is boring

[torpid nacelle]

So what does everyone thinka bout the Halo CE remaster rumor going around

[ruby knoll]

its a rumor

certainly ome of the rumors

[livid fable]

Think i'm more worried about this match composer decomposing

[onyx latch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1168769782468837377/1209477256074756096/ezgif-2-ac867d6afc5f.gif

[livid fable]

firefight still sucks

juggernaut is hide and seek

match composer is a better option, but mostly as a way of not playing annoying modes instead of being able to search for varied games

[shadow turret]

Imo Firefight is a lot better with the match composer, since I really only liked Gruntpocalypse, and from the games of Juggernaut I've done, its in no way hide and seek

[feral steeple]

I'm playing Halo for the first time and started with CE in the mmc game. Honestly I feel it's held up pretty well. The repetitive hallways are a bit annoying but I don't feel it needs a remake.

[livid fable]

it might have been the tenrai versions in particular. juggernaut is stealthed and all non- juggernauts have threat detectors

[shadow turret]

that's Ninjanaut, regular jug is different

[livid fable]

thank god.

[celest heron]

these are my favorite types of posts on here. hope you enjoy the games.

[white birch]

If its hide and seek you have a bunch of players who dont know how to play Juggernaught.
And the Jug doesnt know what theyre doing.

[feral steeple]

Ha thank you. 😊

[livid fable]

tenrai variant has stealth juggernaut and all others have threat detectors. so it's kinda uuuuggghhhh

[white birch]

Oh Ninjanaught.
Yeah....

TBH I had the same problem with Covert 1 Flag
Great idea. Mid implementation

[rugged quartz]

Ninjanaught is funner than juggernaught

[paper estuary]

One more better way to kill enemies

Listen to Eurobeat

[paper estuary]

And kill super fast

[slim flint]

so you’re saying a better way to kill enemies is to do it faster?

[feral steeple]

I think I f8nally met the flood. Creepy little buggers

[stable karma]

Am I the only one that thinks a Halo CE remake is a terrible idea? I want the series to move forward, not backwards - not to mention, 343 has done such a terrible job with the IP since Halo 4.. can we really trust them to do the original story justice?

[sullen owl]

My dude, my homie, my pal. There's no such thing happening currently.

Any leaks, rumors, etc are there by people who want clicks. Ignore them.

99.9% of the time, they're completely false.

[stable karma]

I hope you are right good sir

I’ll be waiting patiently for news on this one

[sullen owl]

The only word on Halo we can take at face value is what comes from direct 343 sources. Once you see an announcement from Sam or Uny, you can trust it.

[stable karma]

Nonetheless, how are you feeling about the future of Halo? Any thoughts if we’ll get a game for the story between 5-6 or will they try to retcon it?

[tulip tusk]

For me the future is forge maps with AI, I'm forging one rn it's exciting

[sullen owl]

I'm feeling green. With Infinite's Forge we could go without a new Halo for years and be fine.

[white birch]

About as likely as you are to survive a point-blank M90 discharge.
Ref; the CE shotgun and its 8 gauge magnum rounds, which in the real world are intended to stop trucks.

So long as we keep getting new armor sets to grind for, more things to buy with SP, and the occasional new shop turnover, I'll keep grinding to Hero and call it good.

(Not like I got the amount of free time I used to have anyway, 2 games a day is perfect with my schedule. And not even that, when I finish whichever BP Im on)

Also yeah someone give the Forge Falcons some pizza and MTN Dew and we'll have more content than we know what to play

[analog salmon]

the problem is even if people make really great forge maps, they're just gonna go into the "Community" 4v4 playlists where the quality is hit or miss

for forge to really carry the game 343 should take the best community forge maps and put them under Arena imo

Like if Guardian and Rig are good enough to be in ranked, they imo belong in the Arena playlists

main thing is the next 343/sperasoft maps are solid hits. If its more Corrosion / Lockout then Infinite's 4v4 is gonna get really stale.

[white birch]

Specially made BTB size Last Spartan Standing maps would be very neat

[analog salmon]

same with illusion honestly. Take away the camo area in the middle and the map has the most boring and uninspiring design

and sorry but the camo area can't make a boring map design good

in encourages the most passive and uninteresting gameplay when you're constantly in cross map sightlines

[analog salmon]

BTB is where they're killing it tbh. The community maps actually saved that mode.

Oasis too. Another dev BTB map like Oasis would be great

Scarr seems like it was made for LSS moreso then BTB

[vale swallow]

Glad to see LSS mentioned

[white birch]

The lanes on Scarr are too small. And you cant use air vehicles at all.

[celest heron]

that's an issue with a few of their maps.

they're all just choke points for the bigger vehicles.

[analog salmon]

other then Oasis and Fragmentation, vehicles aren't great on the dev maps

im not really sure why they did Scarr after Breaker. They are both infantry focused

this naming 🤨

two of those playlists are BR starts and two have ARs

[civic sundial]

Wait until we get Slayer Slayer

[analog salmon]

Auto Slayer = AR+SK
Auto Slayer BR = AR+BR
Slayer BR = BR only

Easy

[craggy wadi]

BR start please

[onyx latch]

We already have BR starts

[radiant sundial]

No

[craggy wadi]

bring back MLG status

[celest heron]

it's not '08 anymore, lol.

[plucky river]

I saw Mint's video. I don't know how to feel about that. I just hope we get new campaigns set after Infinite. Seems like a high level Microsoft decision to revisit OG's for both Halo and Gears.

[ebon jungle]

I mean they have to change the course somehow.

Can’t keep digging the same hole trying to find gold

[plucky river]

The Hollywood poison of remakes now bleeds into games. 👍

[onyx latch]

It's the sort of plan you make when you get tired of digging for gold and go for pyrite instead.

At least Gears wouldn't be remaking the wheel to satisfy a fanbase that should no longer be catered to.

[analog salmon]

its the era of remakes

Xbox just follow trends

[ebon jungle]

Nostalgia sells 🤷🏽‍♂️

[plucky river]

I know. It what it is, if it's true. I'm going to stop caring. It's too much of roller coaster. Have a nice week.

[topaz pier]

I bet there doing a remake (if they're doing a remake at all) is to test out the unreal engine to test its capabilities

[ebon jungle]

All rumors point to a remake of CE-3. So expanded story/missions/ etc

[topaz pier]

If they're doing a remake it'd definitely going to be ce first

[analog salmon]

i think the biggest concern is we're gonna be waiting 5 years for Infinite Act 2. Imagine if instead of doing Halo 3, Bungie did Reach then

i wouldn't put it past Xbox to completely ignore 343 and make them do that

Xbox just dont even seem tuned into Halo at all really. they have Xbox strategies and that's it

[onyx latch]

I cannot think of a single more repugnant truth of media.

Kidding, I could, but that's pretty up there.

[celest heron]

CE has been remade to death, but sure let's do another one. 🫤

[analog salmon]

i would be completely fine with it if it came after Infinite Act 2 as a DLC

Infinite with it's Act 2 would be a great campaign

[craggy wadi]

hopefully linear again

or a hybrid

[analog salmon]

yeah, it would have been perfect as an expansion for Infinite with linear levels in completely different environments

personally i think that's what 343 were going to do before the layoffs

[topaz pier]

It had a remaster and that's it?

[cunning oyster]

I’m now redownloading infinite to test to see if 60fps in multiplayer will somehow make it better to play competitively. It certainly did for CoD.

[celest heron]

I'm mainly referring to all the times it's been released over the years.

[stoic canopy]

I keep trying to make Mark VII work for armor but it's so hard

It's the fact that chest pieces are all just bolt-ons and not really intergrated into the armor while also being a different color that really hurts it

[crimson berry]

Wait, explain please? I thought higher FPS was always better, I'm not sure what FPS you're coming from so, have to ask.

[topaz pier]

Is anyone having issues with staring up halo infinite on pc

[crimson berry]

Mine was fine, I'm having really slow match making today but eh.

[topaz pier]

yea i found out and rolling back rn

[crimson berry]

Oh, that's probably why I have no issues. Minus the fact I just lost all freaking control a second ago and started walking to the left while stuff opened up for some reason...

[analog salmon]

if something takes your system's focus when youre playing a game the inputs sometimes just keep being registered by the game

[crimson berry]

I know. It just randomly started opening a system page to save a link or something and made me walk to the left for some reason.

Idk waht happened, seems okay now thankfully. 🙂 Probably my wrist rest hitting a button

[analog salmon]

Windows being Windows lol

[topaz pier]

ok ima try again now

[crimson berry]

That too

:3 I love big team snipers.

[topaz pier]

I suck at snipers especially in infinite

[crimson berry]

I love sniprs cuz I can no scope with them decently. 🙂

Went 18 and 3 last match. :3

[topaz pier]

I like the snipers in older halos because movements slower paced

Makes it easy to snipe

Infinite works now

[crimson berry]

Outside of campaign, I never really played multiplayer. Just a bit here and there, so barely remember it.

[topaz pier]

The quick play modes in match composer is overwhelming

Like 50 different modes

[crimson berry]

I know, I just selected Super Fiesta and went with it. XD

[topaz pier]

Nice being to choose modes at least

[crimson berry]

Yep cuz I will never have to touch CTF ever again

[topaz pier]

What's the difference between arena and community

[crimson berry]

I don't know that one.

OKay, that actually irritated me. :/

[polar valley]

So, I found out that Halo 3 ODST has an order you need to do the missions in.

[crimson berry]

Oh?

Been a while since I played it

[topaz pier]

Halo 3 odst was so good

mombasa streets just hits different

[neon jasper]

I leave em all selected that way I'm in a game in like 30 seconds

[topaz pier]

doesnt take that look with 10 games selected

[topaz pier]

Instead of putting community and arena maps in games list, cluttering the list, add an option next to games list, map list, and boosts where you can choose either dev maps, community, or both

[analog salmon]

I suppose the only limitation of that is you might want community maps for some modes but not others

I think they just need to use sub menus like past halo games did

Idk why 343 is so adverse to sub menus

Too many playlists being the reason we couldn’t have more then 2 ranked playlists for 2 years is insane

[swift iris]

Probably due to population.

[analog salmon]

Population is lower now then ever

But now we have 4 ranked playlists

[onyx latch]

It's a Halo 5 thing./

[topaz pier]

I see your point

[onyx latch]

ALL of Halo 5 was bad, so we shouldn't repeat it.

Even the parts it copied from old games. Especially the parts it copied from old games.

[topaz pier]

But there is so much game modes in a playlist

We should separate modes into slayer, objectives, social slayer, social objectives, etc

Like mcc

[rugged quartz]

LSS please

Today I had more trouble searching elimination/attrition for some reason

[analog salmon]

MCC is the same as infinite just game modes are grouped together

So infinite gives you more choice pretty much

There’s ways to make a UI that groups together modes while still allowing the amount of choice we have rn

But I mean if they couldn’t do a sub menu so we could have 4 ranked playlists before now, I’m not expecting much change to the match composer lol

[ivory glacier]

I’m waiting so much longer to find matches now than before the composer. I guess I have to add modes that I really have no interest in playing

[analog salmon]

Ig im lucky

Brs and snipers are both pretty much instant

[onyx latch]

Shame, BR sucks

[analog salmon]

Toss in bandit tac too but I have a bad feeling that mode is plagued with hackers

Brs on arena maps is all I can tolerate out of the selection

Don’t mind the sidekick on small maps but it’s so miserable on big maps

Bandit is better then both but 343 won’t give us bandit slayer

I guess to give ranked that as a unique aspect which is fair

[smoky stone]

so, just to reference back to this. I just had a game where I went 21/11/6 (kills/deaths/assists), we lost 50-42. I'm Plat IV. I went down -4 points from this loss. If I consistently keep doing good on my team, yet we lose, I'm not gaining any momentum to level up. The wins still seem to count more, which I understand, but it's really frustrating as a solo player to be brought down by weaker teammates.

[analog salmon]

consistency is key, honestly it just takes time tho

since you'll win about half the time, as long as you're getting bigger CSR gains then losses you'll go up slowly

but you'll have days you just lose all your matches, there's an element of luck to it

you're still learning and improving during those matches so there's no point dwelling on it

[smoky stone]

just won one match, 18/14/7, points went up +14. The wins definitely count for far more. My point though is that as a solo player, I think it's unfortunate that no matter how good you do, if the result is a loss, you're not gaining anything, you're losing pts in rank. If you're doing all the work for your team, there should be some kind of point gain, even if you lose the match, not a lot, but something. Being the top player on your team match after match, but it's loss after loss, you're not gaining anything.

[smoky stone]

I'm a competitive player. I'm past the learning/improving thing, been playing this game since HCE days. I miss the old Halo 2 ranked system. It was far simpler.

[analog salmon]

probably still learning

there's a high skill ceiling

i just find this ranked system really grindy

because of resets your just constantly in race to reach the highest rank you can grind to

your MMR is probably slowly adjusting upwards, like i always place P6 or D1

but i just cant grind long enough to find out how high i can actually go

there's like a soft plateau where you only get +8/9/10 and -6/7 for losses. You stop getting +14 and -5 even if you perform insanely well.

that's when you just gotta grind and put in time. and then eventually you'll hard plateau because everyone is at your level or better

but it takes so long to reach that hard plateau it seems

[smoky stone]

that just seems like a lazy ranked system.

and I gather that having a team of four gives you better chances at leveling faster...but damn, as a solo, that's cold.

[white birch]

They should make the resets longer in between.
It used to work nicely when there were like, multiple month seasons. But with operations you've got less than a month to do it

[analog salmon]

it doesnt reset every operation

it wasnt even every season, i think it was like every 4 months or something weird

[knotty ermine]

So

I just found out that on PC you can change the intro video and the shader loading video

I found the video file. Changed it to the halo reach intro and changed the loading screen to the halo club dance lol

Wish I could share

[unique lark]

Hello

[celest heron]

got a grunt firefight game with a scorpion, warthog and gungoose. never had that before so wondering if it's some kind of heavies variant.

[spare finch]

He’s a troll, best thing to do is ignore him

[keen silo]

The block button is a beautiful feature

[shadow turret]

Its Fiesta
tank is OP in Firefight

[sturdy kernel]

Maybe it's so damn rare
I've only seen the brute chopper, and not above on firefight

[celest heron]

it wasn't the fiesta variant

[spare finch]

Wait, that’s illegal

[celest heron]

my teammate got it, but he was blowing up all the phantoms, lol.

[spare finch]

I don't think scorpions can spawn in ff

[celest heron]

idk, I thought it was odd that a scorpion was in grunt ff.

[vast nova]

i mess read this as Black button & i thought i was living in 2004

[ivory glacier]

I just want to play slayer. Why it’s taking so long to find a match

[left snow]

It feels grindy because of the CSR scale. It's too high and therefore lacks precision. You "skill" doesn't change by a few points each game - so why are we encouraging a meaningless grind.

I don't think we can go back to 1-50 (too much toxic nostalgia). But maybe 1-100, or as has been suggested, 1-117.

[shadow turret]

If it was Gruntpocalypse, then was 110% Fiesta
sometimes its hard to find where it says it, but that's the only way a tank can spawn in FF, and ik bc I've had it happen before, and I've played all the maps enough to know a tank can't spawn naturally on any of them in normal Gruntpocalypse or default Firefight

I have at least 100+ hours in FF, and know the ins and outs of pretty well every map

[shut plinth]

What do these numbers mean (1-50, 1-100, etc)? Just started playing

[shadow turret]

CSR is your "Competitive Skill Rank" for if you play the Ranked modes
In the context of that convo I'm not 110% sure, but basically, the better you do in your placement matches for Ranked, you'll be semi-secretly awarded a certain amount of CSR, which is usually baselined around how well you play in Social modes and whatnot I believe, and depending on how well you do, and CSR you gain/lose during your placement matches determines your rank (anywhere from Bronze 1 to Onyx 1500+, going through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Onyx)

Depending on how long you do/have played I believe can also affect your rank/baseline CSR slightly. I'm currently a P2 (Platinum 2), but since I've played a lot, and placed a few times in Ranked (since Halo: Infinite resets it every 5-6 ish months I believe), its slowly raised my baseline skill level to test me from, resulting in a higher placement more often than not.
I'm not 100% sure on the exact numbers of CSR it is per rank, but I know, at least in the higher ranks, its increments of 50 to the next level (Platinum 2-3 for example, is 950-1000 CSR), although I believe some of the lower ranks (Bronze 1-3 ish) its only in increments of 25

Onyx is the only rank that's measured purely off of CSR, (1500 CSR+). The other ranks do have that as well, but are broken up into "levels" going from 1-6, so the CSR number isn't often used.

Sorry for the rant, I have way too many hours in Halo lol

that's all based off of Halo: Infinite's current system too btw

If you have any other questions or anything just feel free to ping me about it

[shut plinth]

Thank you my friend, appreciate the explanation. I'm about to unlock ranked play this helps

[shadow turret]

Np, I'm down to play sometime if you'd like, depending on timezones and stuff, and just ping me if you ever need help with sumn

[celest heron]

it wasn't fiesta. I watched the film and we all spawned with a shotgun and commando and when my teammate died, he respawned with the same weapons.

im just trying to test out my stream and this app keeps messing everything up along with the driver issue

[shadow turret]

I can't think of anything else than bug then, bc I've never seen a tank on any Firefight map outside of Gruntpoaclypse Fiesta

[feral steeple]

I'm on the part in CE where you follow the crazy laughing flying bot. He cracks me up

[shadow turret]

Guilty Spark can be funny lol

I can actually kinda do his voice as well lol

[feral steeple]

Ohhhh fun. Yeah I figure because he's been alone for thousands of years he's lonely

[gleaming wolf]

Are they ever going to bring back the spartan laser??

[sturdy kernel]

Library💀💀
Every wall wants to kill you

[fierce quest]

Use a AR/Shotgun combo, best chance of survival

[sturdy kernel]

I used my own strategy
(Peaking on the corner and shotgun)
99.9% of survive

[fierce quest]

That’s a good strategy NGL

[keen silo]

Best strat for library is skipping the level. Can’t die to the flood if you don’t play that part 🤔

[fierce quest]

🤔

[feral steeple]

I'm playing on easy right now since it's my first time and I've died 3 times so far LOL

[shadow turret]

I think I had at least 10 deaths on the Library on easy lol

[feral steeple]

Yay I'm not alone!

[shadow turret]

I ran out of ammo so much it was a paaaiiiinnnn

[feral steeple]

That's the issue I'm having right now.

[fierce quest]

“Run out of ammo very fast” The Level

[keen silo]

Yeah no The Library is a major pain regardless of difficulty. On the bright side, it’s a very good opportunity to get familiarized with plasma weapons if you weren’t already

[fierce quest]

Oh for sure!

[sturdy kernel]

Me, on the legendary Library:
-Looks pathetic

[agile lodge]

It’s just hard on legendary

[agile lodge]

I am a genius hmhmhmhhh!

[finite prawn]

nah pistol shotgun. Ar is useless

[fierce quest]

Hmmm, maybe I should use that combo for now on 🤔

[finite prawn]

definitely should. pistol objectively better ar does nothing on leg

[tulip tusk]

Ar is fun vs the infection form swarms

[civic sundial]

I recall learning recently that the AR is better than the Magnum in CE when dealing with Flood

Sure the range is worse but you're gonna be stuck fighting Flood up close most the time anyway

[tulip tusk]

The 60 magazine helps increase the atmosphere of panic

Fire everything!!

[keen silo]

I’d argue that’s not a high bar. CE magnum isn’t great against the parasite

[finite prawn]

no

when you already have a shotgun

you would never ever benefit from an ar in any difficulty

why would you use the ar close or mid range when you have shotgun that one shots flood from those ranges

and long range the pistol is obv better

[civic sundial]

Because the AR is more effective than the Magnum against Flood

[finite prawn]

no it isnt objectively

you have a shotgun

why would you use an ar over the CE shotgun

the only time the ar is the better option in the entire game is in pillar of autumn to kill grunts while your running through them and the start of assault on the control room

[steady urchin]

use fists

better

[wooden briar]

https://tenor.com/view/dwight-yes-gif-4325810

[steady urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-halo-mcc-master-chief-spartan-hop-gif-20187968

ah no right for me xd

anyone could check my post on the forum bellow ? kinda important

[civic sundial]

I never said I was using it over the shotgun, but when the shotgun is low and I am surrounded by Flood forms, the AR is gonna be a better option

[spare finch]

worst thing about infinite controller sweats/streamers: they get toxic when someone mentions kbm

[steady urchin]

what are spartan points plz?

[finite prawn]

if you run out of shottie ammo, which u almost never should because the flood at the start of first floor drops a garunteed one that lasts until the end of second floor alone and from that point your bound to kill a flood with shotgun ammo. U jus use the magnum to shoot a shotgun flood specifically and pick up its ammo otherwise you can run through the flood

[coarse mauve]

Is it intentional to make Halo infinite incredibly sluggish/unresponsive to gameplay input? I'm starting to notice that when I try to switch weapons, it doesn't happen, or it takes about a .7 seconds to switch weapons

[feral steeple]

Grrrrrr I'm tired of dying!

stupid guilty spark mission

[radiant sundial]

Free currency that you earn by playing the game

[steady urchin]

i didnt see where to use them

[radiant sundial]

No, you just have bad internet or somn

[radiant sundial]

The exchange, there should be a tab in the shop that will take you to it iirc

[steady urchin]

uh okay thx

[steady urchin]

just saw but, how are chosen the articles ?

[crimson berry]

Whats with the coumminity play lists, what's the differences?

Wait, nvm figured it out finally. 🙂

[radiant sundial]

What?

I dont understand what you're asking

[steady urchin]

like it's always the same things in the shop or it changes sometimes ? if yes, what kind of object can appear

[shadow turret]

Exchange rotates with every Operation (somewhat except for the newest one, since the old stuff was left in)
Anything that was a promo, Twitch Drop, or old S1-5 event item can show up, but there's not a specific algorithm for it, generally its based on the current Operation theme though

[steady urchin]

okay thank you

w thing

[topaz pier]

Earning sp honestly feels grindy though

[celest heron]

currently saving them to get the 30k one.

[celest heron]

it's easy to get lost on that one if you don't know the paths to take.

[spare finch]

Mhm, the flood part is a pain because of it

[onyx latch]

They do provide plenty of delicious snacks however

[keen silo]

Doesn’t the library have bright arrows on the ground? Or was that exclusive to the anniversary edition

[sturdy kernel]

Only for anniversary edition

[hallow dagger]

Is there anyway to view your medals in infinite?

[signal ivy]

on waypoint yeah

Click your pfp in the upper right > Service Record > under Halo Infinite choose Go to service record > then click on stats and then scroll down

[covert phoenix]

What if there was a spinoff game that was a spaceship combat game with first and third person where you play as your custom pilot i.e. custom suit, face/helmet, etc. and the game centers around a series of space battles against the Banished, possibly featuring the same battle with the USS Infinity at the start of Halo infinite. It would take inspiration for games like everspace using the same ship as in halo: reach.

[hallow dagger]

So the game itself doesn't track medals? Well that's a let down

[signal ivy]

are you talking about viewing your lifetime medals or after match medals?

[ruby knoll]

cea floor arrows my beloved

[hallow dagger]

Both basically

[spare finch]

Tbh team snipers removes the fun of using a sniper

Fiesta btb is unbalanced

[left snow]

The "rank" they award is based on your MMR. But the scale they "show" is arbitrary. At the moment they are using a scale 1-1800 (which is allowed to drift much higher).

Previously they used 1-50. With 50 being hard capped.

I think the answer lies somewhere in the middle. And 1-117 has a nice ring to it.

[left snow]

Your CSR isn't necessarily "baselined" around your Social modes.

When you go into placement you get a "seeding" MMR. If you've played before it's your MMR from the last season. If you are new to that playlist it's from a "similar" mode. Which in some cases may be Social.

Your CSR is based on the left hand edge of your MMR curve. Post placement they are "conservative" with your rank - so you end up a half to a full division below your expected rank. Giving you a little grind to catch up.

And it's 50 points for every tier Bronze - Diamond.

Interestingly each division is supposed to be one standard deviation from the mean. So you should be able to estimate the number in each division like any other normal distribution. But it's probably not that accurate because 343 let CSR drift to the right.

[spare finch]

Kdr is broken, I got 2x as many kills than deaths in a single round and it decreased from 2 to 1.71

[full warren]

its even harder finding a game now with the new selections... quickl play was not 5 mins wait lol,

There must be less people playing halo now since a wait time of 5:00 showing on the quick play mode is crazy

I swear with more modes per selection there are now even longer queues lol

[half abyss]

Is the match composer not working out so well?

I dont play infinite so im a bit out of the loop here

[crystal iron]

3rd lasso attempt and the game saved while I was getting shot at by thr harbinger i had scorpion gun equipped so couldn't boost and the game won't save so if I die I get put into a loop of pain I hate this 🙂

Just got to 3rd phase the 5th time

I DID IT

[ivory glacier]

I never had wait times like this. I’m starting to lose patience with this match composer

[onyx latch]

I mean when you set it to just modes people hate

[grave ether]

You mean the fun of being the only person with a high powered precision rifle capable of one shoting an enemy

[ivory glacier]

Slayer, team slayer, BR slayer? People hate those? I even included the community maps which I don’t really like

But my point is I would find a match a lot quicker the old way just selecting team slayer. At the very most 30 seconds wait time

[onyx latch]

🤷‍♂️ I find a match in less than 15 seconds in Firefight, so maybe you're just playing a bad playlist, lmao

[ivory glacier]

I have 12 modes selected in quick play. I don’t really like firefight solo

[stoic wadi]

Is the arbiter still part or work with the unsc from time to time

[onyx latch]

Thel's overall position on the UNSC is as allies. He has faith in them, cautiously.

They do work together at times, including joint UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios units, typically consisting of Spartan IVs working alongside Elites.

[swift iris]

The fact that he's aware of Locke and his recommendation to ONI to "assassinate" him back in 2552 show's that he's not ignorant. Though I do wonder how his intelligence network is now.

[onyx latch]

He's also not ignorant enough to be mad about being an HVT when there was still a war on, tbf.

[swift iris]

I do wonder how he found out.

[full warren]

firefight is not evn pvp

if I want to shoot grunts I can get on single player

wow went to bed because i found 0 games. and now first game I get its a constant 350 ping, everyone in the lobby was complaining about 350 ping because the 'host' was from AUS and he was fine...... seriously wtf

It used to be 250 ping from UK to AUS but constant 350 is a joke. that is unplayble

[full warren]

yes this is totally true, I have the same selection as team slayer and quick player and I used to find games even at 2am in under 2-3 mins but now, the quick play list literally says no matches

turned off expanded and now I been searching for 5 mins in quick play.... is this how halo infinite has become? you either play unplable games or no games....

I found a game, after 10-11 mins wait in quick play. I guess this game is dead lol

[feral steeple]

So I died 5 times yesterday on guilty sparks mission on easy. I might have to just restart the mission instead of from my save point. Right now when I load I have just 1 health marker left in red. So one of tge floods explode near me I die. >_<

[sturdy kernel]

You talk so much about Halo CE that even I wanted to replay the game again

It will be for the 4th time

[spare finch]

I died zero times on easy on guilty spark

[sturdy kernel]

I wish I could help you, but I don't know English well enough to speak

[lusty wraith]

ROOKIE NUMBAHS (I am obsessed)

[shadow turret]

I've played it two and a half times I wanna say
maybe one and a half I don't remember

[warm spire]

hi is there a way to only download one game from the MCC?

[feral steeple]

You have to buy the whole collection but I know on steam you can just download the one you want

[analog salmon]

once the game has downloaded around 20GB, you can launch it and deselect the other games. Or on Steam you can deselect them through the DLC menu at any time.

[celest heron]

you can shoot those bloated carriers before they get near you so they explode or try to run past them and get far enough away where the blowup doesn't affect you.

[sturdy kernel]

Don't forget they can also detonate grenades after dropping on the floor

[warm spire]

yea i dont want to download the 18gb

i just want halo 3

or any game by its own

[warm spire]

i have bought it but i dont know how to download one thing at a time

[analog salmon]

18gb is required

[warm spire]

damn

[analog salmon]

uI and whatnot

[warm spire]

alr then i will wait till the router recharge

[crystal iron]

Spartan points are awesome

[glacial tartan]

It downloads Reach multiplayer by default pretty sure, thats where the size comes from 😦

[crystal iron]

Would be cool if we could trade them for credits though

[feral steeple]

I finally beat the guity spark mission! Now on to destroying the pluse genorators.

[crystal iron]

Should I buy the MCC to play Halp ce or wait for the remake either way I'm gonna play both but what should I play first

[keen silo]

Now that mission. Now that mission is bloody awful. Bring plasma weapons

[glacial tartan]

There's nothing confirmed about that, even if it was true it would be years away.

[feral steeple]

I thought the mission before was hard enough gaaa

[keen silo]

If it makes you feel any better, the last few missions aren’t super difficult. Granted I’ve only played heroic or above but still

[feral steeple]

I only play on easy so lol

[analog salmon]

I’m so bored of argyle CTF

Feels like the same match every match

Gotta get something new into the ranked pool soon

Just toss in guardian at this point

[feral steeple]

I haven't tried online matches yet. I want to get through the campaigns first.

[celest heron]

the skill matching in mm is extremely loose so you could potentially match anyone. I'd do the customs browser first if you want to try some fun modes without any pressure to do well.

[vast nova]

it would take years if the remake was true so go with mcc ce

[lyric brook]

Halo Hero Shooter

instant profit

[vast nova]

no pls no

[lyric brook]

Spartans, Marines, etc = DMG
Elites, Brutes, etc = Tanks
Cortana, Grunts, ODST = Support

i don’t see why not. companies like marvel and star wars are doing it. and i’ve thought about it, they seem to be making hero shooters based on movies, but what about basing one on video games that already exist!

Halo: Heroes

think about that and lmk your thoughts please, i’d appreciate it.

spartans should be damage except master chief tho i think he’d make a great tank. he is 6’10 after all and strong armor

[keen silo]

We definitely don’t need a Halo flavored hero shooter. People are losing interest in Halo as is, we don’t need to give them more reason to dislike it. Especially after the fiascos TF2 and Overwatch have been seeing.

[smoky stone]

Where can I post a screen shot to get some feedback on a graphical bug I'm having in the game?

[celest heron]

probly #1075989764026675210 and then ask a mod for temp pic permission.

[thick wave]

anyone able to MM on infinite? cant even get a game lol

[craggy wadi]

Are you USA? East? Central? West?

[thick wave]

EU

[craggy wadi]

Try in the evening

[thick wave]

we finally just got a match

[craggy wadi]

Longer waits in morning

[sand matrix]

Hi

[vast ridge]

is there a type of cheat that forces the game to choose a crazy location for a server?
Just entered a match where we got stomped by one dude and his comparatively much lower ranking friends and we were all on 300 ping together. Was super strange, also think the dude had walls

[analog salmon]

dont think so, it just happens randomly

use local if your in North America and you shouldn't be put on high ping

they are probably smurfs

idk why 343 dont just let you cap your ping to say 150 max

geuinely pointless putting ranked players on servers above 150ms unless you are somewhere so remote that's your only option

but at the same time, local isn't viable outside NA most of the time either

[vast ridge]

Im on US EST though and it's set to local

that's why I think somehow the dude was breaking the server or forcing to play in like south east asia

[analog salmon]

if you stack i think local is disabled

you can't geofilter, 343 fixed that exploit

if they were blocking servers, their game wouldnt let them matchmake

the game putting Americans on 300 ping servers is just crazy tho. I would just quit tbh

only one person gets -15 csr if they quit immediately

or maybe you all do if you're stacked i forget now

[vast ridge]

I was a solo queue, everyone on my team had 300 ping 🤷‍♂️

we were talking about how strange it was together in game chat

[analog salmon]

weird, i think it's happened to me queuing BTB before

i'd guess local/expanded is just a preference thing tho, rather then a hard limit on what server you can be put on

i get a lot of americans in European games complaining about ping who I'd assume have local on

[analog salmon]

Rn I’m on expanded, queuing ranked slayer, with an est time of 1:30. Still can’t find a match in 10 minutes

This matchmaking makes no sense honestly

[feral steeple]

Hello

[vast nova]

i accidantally uninistalled 3 odst & HR so im reinstalling them

[serene bane]

IF HALO COMES TO PS5 BUT HELLDIVERS DOESN'T COME TO XBOX, IMA BE MAD

[feral steeple]

Why on earth would an MS IP go to PS?

[prisma cipher]

knowing how sony treats their exclusivity, it's very likely to be that case

[analog salmon]

Who cares honestly

Halo needs a bigger audience

[onyx latch]

Console wars good, Recon

[analog salmon]

It’s just a win if halo gets more players

[onyx latch]

Where's your brand loyalty?

[analog salmon]

Xbox dug its own grave

So many easy wins they could have over PlayStation but they choose short term revenue instead

[spare finch]

Sony’s grave is deeper then

[analog salmon]

They haven’t got a competitor

Home console market has probably peaked, but they have a safe dominant position for a long time

[spare finch]

Not true

[analog salmon]

When your only competitor does nothing to undercut your strategy you’re pretty much safe

A high price subscription was never gonna sell consoles, that’s what Spencer gambled on

Xbox is doing well as a publisher because they bought two huge publishers

But they’re just a huge EA at this point, and obviously EA was never a threat to PlayStation

Anyways man people are so bad at forbidden

This guys sitting in our base ping spamming OS and gets back smacked

You just get ratiod hard if your teams passive

When you’ve got highest damage but lowest kills you know you had zero chance

[feral steeple]

Okay time to die a few more times XD

[white birch]

Skill split seems a bit tight today
Isn't Saterday supposed to be when all the good players come on?

[feral steeple]

LOL Well I'm a new player not a good one either XD

[vast nova]

Halo should come to PS5 & Swittch 2

to expand the playerbase

[wooden briar]

I just want to say that I've loved seeing your Halo journey recently. You have been so positive and it has refreshing to see this saga through new eyes. Glad you're a part of this community!

[feral steeple]

Thanks! I've enjoyed being here. It's nice to join a new community and feel a part of it right away. I honestly thought I'd hate these games. I've avoided them for so long. Normally when I die over and over again I give up too, but there is something adictive to this! I'm enjoying the lore. I especially enjoyed Spark and his silly behaviors.

Yay I passed the last mission I was on. Now I'm on the Keyes mission. Once I got the hang of it, it wasn't so bad.

[civic sundial]

Oh just you wait for the last level of CE

[radiant sundial]

The maw is fun once you get past the engine room

[keen silo]

The maw isn’t that bad I don’t think? Just that engine room part is irritating

[radiant sundial]

The maw is the warthog run, the only annoying part is doing the engine room but not knowing how to get to the armory ;-;

[feral steeple]

I just can't wait to move onto Halo 2. I'm hoping the map design is better. CE is easy to get lost in and that mini map is pretty useless. I'm use to playing games with large maps you can marl destinations on and the mini map guides you lol

[craggy wadi]

Radar crouch is a thing

Headphones on full blast

Footsteps

Voices

@feral steeple

[feral steeple]

oh you really want to give me the fully creep factor LOL.

[crystal iron]

Just 100d halo infinite

It's about time I got act of Genesis

[vast nova]

the emoji name is what you are 40K

[crystal iron]

I should mention this was on a save that kept reappearing after I delete it

[finite prawn]

valid opinion. Im biased for ce but i can see it being hard to navigate

Halo
Truth and Rec
Silent cartographer
Assault on the control room
343 guilty spark
Full path keyes

[feral steeple]

I'm on Keyes part right now

Yay just fined the Keyes mission.

That was a killer! I just jumped down to the hanger to get out of the ship

[shadow turret]

I haven't played in a bit, but from what I can remember, 2 and 3 have a lot better level design than CE, in terms of being straightforward
4's is good too, since there's Navigation markers on the HUD for where you need to to (most times anyway I think)
Reach is fairly straightforward as well, with a lot of audio cues, and straightforward paths, or something/someone to follow
3: ODST is alright, but especially early game in the city its hard to navigate, especially on a first playthrough

[barren idol]

[pliant crane]

Hot orange juice

[ivory glacier]

I used my spartan points to buy that devil helmet (don’t remember the name) and the attachment for it. I wanted to see what it looked like without the attachment but it wouldn’t let me unequip it. Am I missing something

[signal ivy]

Halo DS (never released, gameplay leaked)
this wasn't a cancelled game, it was a skinned/modded version of a James Bond DS game that was made not by bungie

[whole crest]

Does anyone else solo que social playlist and it seems the matchmaking system always tries to give you teammates that will bring you down?

[crystal iron]

https://imgur.com/a/WOIwN2V

Starfeild got Halo armor

And The OG operator helmet is one of the options to put on the chiefs campaign armor

I'm so excited , I can put the M V ammo belt on the infinite campaign armor too

[ruby knoll]

hi ickty spartan long time no c

[edgy path]

Super Escalation when

[celest heron]

did you find keyes?

[rugged quartz]

Is escalation in quick play?

[edgy path]

yes

and under BTB

[rugged quartz]

My quickplay selection is 4 only, does take some time to search

[pliant crane]

Hello

[ruby knoll]

hi ickty

[past adder]

Does anyone still play halo 5?

[tulip tusk]

Sometimes I see someone say they played it the other day, warzone maybe

[past adder]

Oh, what’s really popular rn in the halo community?

[tulip tusk]

Halo Infinite. Official playlists, then its custom browser is pretty active. I only play custom browser games pretty much. There are lots of forge maps to play, like custom pve or campaigns

MCC after that, Mcc custom browser is less populated but they are dedicated

[past adder]

Oh wow I am so behind then. Nice to know custom games remain popular though

[tulip tusk]

They should be even more popular! The forge is great

[past adder]

Is halo 5 popular

Their multiplayer modes was my drug

[onyx latch]

It was as a multiplayer game I'd say, but it's nearing on a decade of age.

[past adder]

I’ve been on this server for years I think but never interacted with anyone here. What about halo reach?

[onyx latch]

Well, the servers for it are down, so you're stuck with MCC.

[finite prawn]

it not being on pc is a big factor

[past adder]

Oh I see, you guys know so much about halo

Im stopped playing it years ago but I do wanna get back to it

However I only ever played reach, 3 odst, 5, and when infinite came out that’s when I stopped playing

[feral steeple]

Okay spartans! Lets see if I can beat CE today!

[spare finch]

Remove deaths from the game, add disco lights

[spare finch]

Slight warning: warthogs are a pain to drive

[finite prawn]

ce warthog is heavy so on easy they should be fine

[sturdy kernel]

True

[finite prawn]

oh on the last jump you can splatter yourself

😂 you can do a 360 to remove that ever happening but if you splatter then thats why

[feral steeple]

I beat CE!!! WOOT!

Took two times for me to get off the ship but I'm glad I finished.

[shadow turret]

Nice!
good job

[feral steeple]

12 hours on easy not too bad for my first time or my first FPS.

[shadow turret]

I forget how long CE took me
I think it was about 8-10 hours for my first playthrough

[celest heron]

what'd you think of the story and also when you saw captain keyes in his final form?

[feral steeple]

Oh I felt bad for Keyes that was creepy, but it reminded me of something from Mass Effect. I loved sparks and the story was nice. I liked the pace of the game as well and how it was mission based.

[civic sundial]

Oh you will love a character in Halo 2 then if you've played Mass Effect, specifically for his voice

[celest heron]

awesome, and I also agree. it definitely got me invested in the halo universe. 2 will have a lot of changes if you decide to play it.

[feral steeple]

I bought the MMC so I will be playing it. I'm trying to work my way up to Infinite so that I can play online with my friend.

Though I'll have to get better at the games because he's a pretty skilled fighter.

[celest heron]

nice. h5 is the other game that you'd have to buy separately.

[sturdy kernel]

And only available on Xbox
But included with game pass

[feral steeple]

Yeah I will have to skip 5 since I don't have a system to play it on.

Ma6be watch a YouTube play through

[neon pollen]

Has anyone figured out why Halo keeps crashing on start up PC?

[feral steeple]

Which one? I've been playing MMC fine on steam

[neon pollen]

nvm

[shadow turret]

if its Infinite then #halo-support-news message

I think its still an issue

[neon pollen]

yeah just saw the tweet

[prisma cipher]

What are the most forgotten enemies of Halo?

I might say that the Sentinel Enforcers are like the most forgotten enemy in my opinion, since we haven't seen them since Halo 2

[full warren]

what happened to halo. ever since this update Literally can not find any games even in quick play

There must be something wrong, i used to find local games atleast in quick play at werid times because team slayer or BTB is too long, now with quick play and team slayer selected I still do not find any games under 5 mins for quick play wtf is that. I never had to resort to 150 - 300 ping expanded games... ALSO why is the game putting me in 150-300 ping games when I can get 80-120 in USA. why is it putting UK and AUS players together

[analog salmon]

Mate honestly if they could make a ping slider for expanded mode and actually make expanded work
