halo-discussion

[celest heron]

they need to bring back double xp for limited playlists. I don't even remember the last time that was around.

[plucky river]

because someone hasn't fixed them yet

[vale swallow]

halo: infinite||ly nerfing and buffing it's weapons 😭 ||

[crystal iron]

lol wtf

[plucky river]

HAHAHAHAAHAH

[crystal iron]

im just imagining 343 HQ, big building, 3 people walking around, the other 300 seats empty

nobody knows the servers r down

[plucky river]

to be fair the coalition have been allowing broken servers for years with gears of war.

and r6 had broken servers during christmas break and no f's given for 4 weeks.

[crystal iron]

infinite only being down for 4 weeks sounds pretty good to me, i would make that trade

[plucky river]

Ubisoft lost shares during that. It was that bad and rightfully so.

[crystal iron]

havent played r6 in ages

[plucky river]

comp fanboys and esports has made the game very sterile and repetitive. no more night maps too.

[ivory glacier]

Server issues? Again?

[rare fractal]

Anyone playing Halo 3 right now…? Gt: KingBeks23

[peak dagger]

Can someone tell me if me and my friends need to do something to stop the disconnecting Everytime we try and join a match, or it just saying tied after staring at the screen for 5+ minutes it feels like. My friend just got an hour ban because this is happening so much.

[jade pebble]

I could see it being an attachment, although theyve separated Emiles helmet into its own even if that would work as an attachment too

Id hope its in exchange since most of the reach stuff is freely earned and the stuff that isnt just feels wrong

[cunning jungle]

They should start putting a limited number of double exp tokens in the exchange to replace the ones taken out the previous events

[zealous panther]

Is there any plans on changing operations back to normal seasons?

[civic sundial]

No

[open umbra]

So we're finally going to have VIP... Wonder if anyone is going to recreate the cut Medic mode in Halo 2 using the regen field.

[steep glen]

Another BTB game started as a 3v1. Enemy quit, so the game ended with us having a score of 0. Friend got a 20 minute ban for it. They're really trying to make it impossible to play this game.

[dull forum]

Hello.

[peak dagger]

@steep glen yea working on killing off the game at this rate for the people who were still playing

[steep glen]

When I do find a game it's against a 9-stack of heros with 6-19k games played each, while filling my team with nothing but brand new players. I just can't find the logic in any of it.

[glacial tartan]

Matchmaker doing the best with what it can. With dwindling populations its rough.

[steep glen]

Nah, I get they're gonna have a hard time matching some parties, but their 3 randoms were decent with a lot of games played. At least put 3 of those brand new players on the side of the pro 9-stack to even remotely balance it out.

To put a positive spin to it, it's amazing how many new players are still finding the game. 4 team mates on their first game ever in my last game alone, and the rest not far ahead.

[celest heron]

been like that for years

[crystal iron]

By the way, this isn't just halo infinite - mcc servers are janky

...maybe I'm entitled, but hasn't this taken a while to fix?

[keen silo]

I’m willing to bet it’s somehow connected to the Microsoft issues recently. Elden Ring connections have also been wonky these past few days

[keen silo]

It’s possible, idk ultimately. I’ve just been having unusually blipped moments while summoned in Elden Ring. Could be weather, could be Microsoft severs being tricky

[celest heron]

haven't run into any mcc server issues yet.

[full warren]

To be hoenst in those situations you should not let those group play because there is no other team that match their skill, I dont care about playing with friend or what ever bs they trying to spout

if there is no one matching a group like that just dont match them

once again problems withs ervber

gotta restart game, seem to be reoccurring issue lately

[peak dagger]

Yea I'm getting to the point it's not worth trying anymore cause every time it's happening it's working towards a ban for quitting. It's quite annoying

[scarlet shuttle]

Whats up with the game (for the 1000th time)?

Since last week, some game will randomly give 0 result at the end (can’t see stats) and challenges won’t count.

[tulip tusk]

i get that too even from custom games 😛 idk why

[scarlet shuttle]

This is getting annoying. I have very little time to play games and I don’t want to waste it on broken Halo. Been dealing with this kind of BS for almost 3 years. Every updates, something more is added to the count of broken things. It’s supposed to be the contrary.

Even during the Beta, it wasn’t that broken. And when a challenge didn’t count, you just had to restart the game and you’d receive your exp.

[mild brook]

whats going on im in a fireteam and we're playing slayer they are in the match and Im in a black screen?

[edgy forum]

Was there VIP in Reach? I can’t remember

[gray swan]

No

H4 had regicide which is similar

[white birch]

Regicide was fun, if your king was competent

[radiant sundial]

#1075989764026675210

[wispy cargo]

So, are they actually remaking the Original Trilogy? Is that a real announcement or did I get clickbaited?

[shadow turret]

That's a false
there's maybe like a .1% chance, but its most likely not happening

don't really see the point of doing it tbh

[wispy cargo]

https://youtube.com/shorts/FqSZYvlgXvY?si=lY9Mv_-go1OFZM-P

I usually trust MintBlitz Halo content, but I don't know him well enough to put money on that statement haha.

[shadow turret]

Unless its directly from 343 then its just rumor
just a good thing to keep in mind
rumor doesn't mean it'll never happen, but there's a good chance it won't

[wispy cargo]

It may be what Halo needs. The fanbase is divided and stale after a few stinkers and so many years between releases. If they execute a remake (not a remaster) correctly, it could serve to re-ignite the fanbase's interest and get them excited about Halo again. A bit of nostalgia bait and a bit of bringing the amazing OT up to a modern standard for current generations of players.

[ruby lake]

bruh

so this is what halo's future is gonna be now?

just the retelling of old stories with a new fresh coat of paint? (remakes)

a concept overdone tbh

and j dont think the halo cycle would be broken after that

"previous game good, current game bad!!"

[civic sundial]

His trustworthiness has waned over recent months to the point of using sources known for lying and falsifying information

[clever light]

why?

[wide trout]

HiddenX is usually credible

at worst I think his thumbnails are pretty clickbaitey

[civic sundial]

Like, no way he was claiming Chief is Jesus

[wispy cargo]

Damn. Too bad. I'll probably unfollow then.

[wispy cargo]

It's the sad world we live in, brother. But I would rather they remake a classic than trash the franchise with their god-awful writing. Writers these days couldn't write a compelling/coherent narrative to save themselves. Too risky. I think that 343 might be starting to realize this as well. No IP owners can trust today's writers with their franchises.

I'd love for forward progress for Halo. It's my most beloved franchise. I simply have no remaining faith in today's writers. They're either politically motivated, narcissistic, and arrogant or simply uninspired.

[civic sundial]

There's no confirmation that they're remaking CE or the whole trilogy

The only people saying it's happening are going off of baseless rumours

[civic sundial]

And you're gonna have to define what you mean more regarding your lack of faith in writers

See, the answer's pretty clear, continue on from the end of Infinite, begin exploring more about the Endless and why they are a threat. Given that the Banished (More specifically Atriox) are responsible for their release, it makes sense they'd still be involved with the story

And maybe show us what some remaining Created forces might be doing on Zeta

[civic sundial]

You're saying that like it's a given they're throwing everything away

[jade pebble]

hiddenx seems annoying as hell. I be clicking on a video, it opens up with him speaking, I click away

[jade pebble]

I wonder if we will see chimera core in action at some point. since there is the one

[gray swan]

Hiddenx is super annoying for sure

[frosty condor]

Kinda rude innit

[jade pebble]

idk about that but just the truth. Im disappointed its a hiddenx video if I didnt check before hand

[frosty condor]

He's a great lad, truely cares about the community

Also a good shoulder to lean on

[jade pebble]

never said he isnt

[civic sundial]

I imagine that'll be saved for a novel or two first

[ruby lake]

bruh

yeah im not typing a paragraph response to this

im gonna be like
talking to a brick wall

i dont trust any of them either

the more i side-eye while watching their videos the more i think "oh, so this is what the slop that halo fans are eating?"

"ew."

[edgy forum]

🍿

[edgy forum]

I hope the last armor core is Mark VI Gen 1

[dull forum]

I like personally the ancient armor like Noble 6 armor, Carters armor (I don't know if it really ancient), Mjolnir and a lot of them.

[civic sundial]

The armour worn by Noble Team isn't ancient

[civic sundial]

I doubt it since the Hero reward is Infinite's Mark VI, having a whole core that's a version of Mark VI added in after that would make that reward feel less important

[edgy forum]

It would make sense if they did the GEN1 in commemoration of Halo 2’s 20th birthday

[sullen owl]

Passed down to Noble Team from the Precursors themselves.

You didn't read the novel coming out in three years yet?

It's part of the Crystal timeline series of books.

[civic sundial]

Again, we have Mark VI in the game already. Having a second full set of it added doesn't make sense

[edgy forum]

Well it could be there to complete the armor core collection

[civic sundial]

And if we get anything for H2's 20th, I doubt it'll be another Mark VI

[edgy forum]

I feel like the transition from Mark VI to VII kinda seems odd & out of transition

[signal ivy]

forerunner armor core pls

[civic sundial]

Now, Forerunner armour as a new core is something I could see happening

[civic sundial]

Mark VII is visually a blend between Mark V and Mark VI, I don't think there's need for something between VI and VII

[edgy forum]

I can understand but I would like to have MK VI just in case

I like the Halo 2/3 feel and aesthetics

[civic sundial]

If you want full Mark VI, gotta get to max rank

[sturdy kernel]

I only need to reach max rank 2002 games

[edgy forum]

I already reached Hero rank, they still haven’t fixed the glitched hands when you hold a pistol weapon

[civic sundial]

From what I know about issues like that, that's an issue with the weight painting on the hands

[radiant sundial]

they already remade ce and two, and there is no grounds for a remake of three since it still has (imo) the best graphics out of the three and doesnt need a remake, so its likely a clickbait with no grounds

[tulip tusk]

I keep thinking about from software, the guys who made elden ring. For years they have been making dark souls, bloodborne, sekiro, other games that have their own unique style and success. Then elden ring hit and it's huuuge and so much fun, like their other games. Tbh most fans suck, dont know what theyre talking about, and move to another game in 3 days without caring at all.

I cannot imagine how much horrible input from software has read considering Elden ring. Like if they listened to questionable " fans " their games would become horrible lol. They are one of those companies i am confident in letting them do their thing and it will be good

[glacial tartan]

343 has the ability to deviate / "do their thing" - they just need "their thing" to be a better (arguably functional) deliverable. As a customer its hard to buy what they are selling.

I do agree with your sentiment and dont think its fair to compare 343 to most other companies

[tulip tusk]

I agree I mean Elden Ring has a staggering amount of content especially immediately on launch. No micro transactions which I respect so much. Just a base game that was MASSIVE!!! I want Halo to be like that whew maybe one day

[keen silo]

I don’t know how, but my brain read this and immediately went to “Man, I really want to parry a hunter and have their arm as a great shield

[wispy cargo]

I’d define it by asking you to look at the decline of almost every major film/game franchise over the past decade. Writers largely are terrible these days, and are little more than activists and sellouts to a corporate agenda.

[wispy cargo]

What a wonderful conversationalist you are. Glad you came to participate in #halo-discussion lol.

[ruby knoll]

oh you're one of those "people"

[wispy cargo]

They chase trends nowadays because the writers and devs are uninspired! They don’t have the confidence or know-how to make something trend-setting like Bungie did. That’s why it’s tough for me to be optimistic about a new story, knowing the team is on the back foot.

[ruby knoll]

bungo
trendsetting
lol

[civic sundial]

I feel like this image is relevant also

[wispy cargo]

Yes? What’s that supposed to mean? Oh, you mean one of the people that doesn’t like low-quality products.

[ruby knoll]

yeah i don't like halo 2

[tulip tusk]

😆 that would be crazy! But sometimes I do think...maybe Halo can get some boss fight inspiration from a game like ER. Something that can fit FPS well...like a dodgeable aoe or a selectable overshield/hunter shield to block a powerful attack

[ruby knoll]

but also the "activist" bit

[wispy cargo]

True, the original release had certain graphical cutbacks. Lower-quality there.

Thought the story and gameplay were great though.

Just my opinion of course.

[ruby knoll]

the story alone, the gameplay was meh

[keen silo]

That’s the fun of stuff like forge and whatnot. Can’t add whole new mechanics like a Parry and Riposte system. But a with enough scripting I’m sure something can be done

[civic sundial]

A spin-off that's a Souls-like could be a fun game honestly. Maybe set during the height of the Covenant's reign before humanity is discovered or something

[ruby knoll]

partially because they rushed it out without playtesting

the reason they rushed it out was 100% self inflicted

[civic sundial]

Aye, Halo 2's story is easily its best aspect, I really wish it got the time it needed in the oven for the gameplay

[ruby knoll]

nobody forced them to blow a year on making a fake trailer, and they had plenty of funding too

[wispy cargo]

You’re right. Infinite was narrative genius and totally swept the world. Everyone’s still buzzing about it lol.

[civic sundial]

I wonder if they would've kept sprint in Halo 2 if they didn't have all the issues in development?

[ruby knoll]

they might have had time to actually balance the sandbox

then again sandbox balance was never their forte

[civic sundial]

That too

[keen silo]

Or, a souls like set during the great schism itself. I’d love to play as an elite running around High Charity side stepping and rolling around brutes trying to land a backstab

[wispy cargo]

I’m probably in a thread of kids who don’t see or understand Halo’s decline, but it isn’t what it once was. That should be obvious. Hopefully you few who’ve been gawking at my comments will eventually see the full picture. Because our best chance of seeing a change is by not buying terrible games, and forcing Microsoft/343 to really focus in on finding a talented and capable team ready to make something great.

[ruby knoll]

bluh bluh bluh im le original troo hay lowe fan!!!!!

i truly felt the "love" put into the awful gameplay experience, the stock sfx, and the janky mp

[wispy cargo]

He’s 12 bro

[civic sundial]

Having talent alone doesn't make something good. You're ignoring so many factors that can affect development, such as higher ups demanding games release before release or limiting budget or laying off teams regardless of if they make a profitable game or not

[ruby knoll]

"I'm probably in a thread of kids who don't see or understand halo's decline"

[wispy cargo]

This too! But I’m sure you wouldn’t argue that a talented team isn’t required?

[ruby knoll]

sorry i don't pretend the bungo games are flawless

[wispy cargo]

Never said they were? lol

Said halo isn’t what it once was. The hype ain’t there anymore kiddo

[ruby lake]

what the hell

boo

[civic sundial]

I argue that focusing only on getting the best talent is a terrible idea. You need to have newer people who are going to offer fresh ideas and can learn from the older devs. But again, talent alone does not make something good

[ruby lake]

true

you gotta put the whole crew on the ship, not just the captain

[wispy cargo]

I’m not sure how seeking the greatest talent is a “terrible idea” while you say that getting new people and fresh ideas is what needs prioritization? I’m pretty sure you can have both lol. (Talented new devs with fresh ideas?) 😂

We won’t get what we had. But we can get something better.

[ruby lake]

like what

[ruby knoll]

i see that the market is far more saturated and different than it was, and even with the massive advertising campaigns of the type Microsoft ran back in the day, those games would fare poorly today

[ruby lake]

just make a halo poster the size of the moon

that'll do it

[ruby knoll]

suuuure

[civic sundial]

Or do an Eggman and destroy the moon

[wispy cargo]

I’d love to see Halo become more visceral, immersive, and grounded. I think exploring new formulas like survival horror, open world survival, or even just adding more depth to the current formula to progress the franchise would be great. If done correctly, that’s innovation that could provide a better experience than the copy-cat “play it safe” type of game we got with Infinite.

[ruby knoll]

yes ce picked very low hanging fruit in terms of gameplay in the 2000s

[wispy cargo]

^

[civic sundial]

I wouldn't call experimenting with open world in Infinite "copy-cat "play it safe"" for Halo

[ruby knoll]

wow

you used a lot of words to say nothing

[ruby lake]

careful

a blue hedgehog will awaken

[ruby knoll]

yes, that can mean anything

[ruby lake]

like what

[wispy cargo]

Just because you don’t understand them doesn’t mean I wasn’t making a point lol. Go play Roblox, kiddo.

[ruby knoll]

it's very easy to throw out vague platitudes

[wispy cargo]

Nice try

[ruby knoll]

halo needs to synergize and overcome market constraints to deliver a bold new vision

...

[ruby lake]

idk man

[tulip tusk]

whoa theres a very fun looking firefight ops trailer from Uneeq, the maps look amazin

[wispy cargo]

https://youtu.be/AxueSOrfax8?si=u9TdKM5NMomzWdl2

This is a fan-creation in UE5 that tries to blend classic Halo with survival horror. I think it’s the kind of thing people would be interested in!

[tulip tusk]

im most interested in the autumn

[ruby knoll]

I'm giving an example of the kind of nothing statements i keep seeing slung around

the synergize in there literally doesn't make sense

[tulip tusk]

there is a youtube channel making very cool halo space battles in UE5 too

[ruby knoll]

it's very easy to say "halo needs to set trends"

it's hard to say what that actually means

[wispy cargo]

lol, you just don’t even know what you’re saying. Grownups are talking dude, go grab a dictionary so you can participate.

[civic sundial]

Blue Hedgehog? Sounds like a faker. I only know a black and red Hedgehog

[civic sundial]

Bit rude

[ruby knoll]

what does the synergize in my statement mean then

[ruby lake]

whatz with the trashtalking man

[wispy cargo]

@ruby knoll is at that formative stage of development where he believes that by simply being contrarian and obstinate it will make him look intelligent or noteworthy.

[ruby lake]

huh

[wispy cargo]

Scroll back, I didn’t start this lol

*synergize

Doing what?

Yes, welcome to the internet. Talk trash and be trash talked upon lmao

I’m here for it

[wispy cargo]

@ruby lake any thoughts?

[ruby lake]

buurrrrrp

[wispy cargo]

Oh, so this wasn’t a serious question.

[ruby lake]

i mean

its cool i guess

[wispy cargo]

Sorry, wanted to have a #halo-discussion is all:

[ruby lake]

ive already seen it yesterday so

[ruby lake]

qhat

i dont think my wifi can handle it

dude

[wispy cargo]

This was my first and last time coming to this chat. Thanks to those of you who participated in a positive way. Sadly there’s clearly not much intelligent or substantial conversation to be had in the Halo discord. I’ll stick to private servers.

[ruby knoll]

none of these are "new" trends

or this

[ruby lake]

typical

[tulip tusk]

ye its been rough

[ruby knoll]

wasn't titanfall2 mp unplayable for years

[tulip tusk]

i luv luv the forge but it does feel like we are on dilapidated scaffolding sometimes lol. dont take me too seriously tho

[ruby knoll]

i still want to know what happened with btb around campaign launch, from an academic standpoint

[crystal iron]

💀

halo is truly special in that regard

so uh

is this game getting anymore campaign updates or has it been abandoned

the campaign doesnt crash for me at least

would have been a better idea to keep updating the campaign and instead abandon matchmaking (crash simulator)

[glacial tartan]

are you referring to when it simply wasnt working for a while?

[ruby knoll]

yes

well apparently some people could still play btb

very few, but it was still possible somehow

from an outsider perspective with incomplete knowledge it seems like it wasn't a simple issue, especially because the first clientside patch they tried didn't work despite working internally

[crystal iron]

that sounds familiar

[glacial tartan]

https://i.imgur.com/xwIrLlg.png Here was the post from back then

What a cluster.

[crystal iron]

they said mcc worked fine interally too but then released it and it didnt work

that was the day they found out internal networks are different to external networks

[glacial tartan]

https://i.imgur.com/hg1WQYx.png Here was a month later where it was still broken

[crystal iron]

💀

[glacial tartan]

Would also be interested in what the actual issue was

[crystal iron]

i thought halo 2 was meant to be the halo with bad code

this one sounds worse ngl

maybe there will be a 100Gb patch

and everything will be fixed

[civic sundial]

They're bringing back the Disruptor's damage over time and reworking the Ravager Rebound!! http://aka.ms/FleetcomSandbox

[smoky forge]

Super stoked about the ravager rebound rework

[civic sundial]

Aye, looks like it's gonna be much better

Would like to see these changes brought to the campaign honestly

[smoky forge]

a bit concerned about the plasma pistol unbounded rework though

quite a few weapon combos used the plasma pistol unbounded's projectile. swapping the Pulse Rifle carries over the burst fire.
Looks like now we will have 0 single fire plasma rounds to swap onto different weapons. RIP

[tulip tusk]

Oh yeah ur right. Map has sentinel beam shooting unbound. It sounds like a raygun which was a nice environmental thing. Wondering how that'll be

[radiant sundial]

THEY'RE MAKING THE RAVAGER REBOUND GOOD LETS GOOOOO

The variant ravager and plasma pistols will actually be good now, its a miracle

[smoky forge]

my paintball mode used commandos and pistols that fired plasma pistol bolts.
Swapping plasma pistol unbounded was favorable over the Pulse Carbine variant because it was actually single shot and didn't heat seek.
Now I fear that those weapons will again be heat seeking, effectively killing the ability to make a Paintball mode

[full warren]

the game have put me in so many 250 + ping games its a instant quit from me its so stupid, how is that even playable to allowed to match

[full warren]

The game has given up matchking EU players we started a 3v3 games and only my team got a replacement the other team just had a bot since the start 😄

[tulip tusk]

does anyone have that modded gametype file of Halo 3 ODST 3rd person? it's the one that works in Halo MCC custom browser, lets you play 3rd person in Firefight. And anyone can join it without having the file, and play

trying to re-find it after getting a new pc, can't locate it

[smoky forge]

the Halo mods discord probably knows more about mods

[plain snow]

Is this new update going to reset rank

[shadow turret]

Possibly
dunno tho

[plain snow]

I hope so tbh

[shadow turret]

I think its been resetting with roughly what Season times used to be, so every couple months

[full warren]

Game is broken again two games in a row in the start screen and just never starts

Also its always in the evening EU time

that games become unstable, either not start, or match making cancelled, or stuck in loading screen

Yep definitely server down, its now saying can not conenct to server now

[keen silo]

Interesting. I thought they’d reset with every new op, but I guess it makes more sense to reset as though with the older seasons

[shadow turret]

every Op is way too soon
most people, especially around Diamond/Onyx wouldn't even be able to break Onyx in that time, or if they did, not far
I honestly don't mind it being every few months, especially for me, since I don't actually run Ranked a lot

[vale swallow]

can I submit an enhancement report for halo infinite? similar to submitting a bug report in halo waypoint?

[coarse dagger]

General feedback is better posted in #1039633978841374720

Support site is for bugs and issues

[ivory glacier]

Have these server issues been acknowledged or addressed in any way? Again with this

0 for 2

[edgy forum]

I haven’t been affected by these servers to be honest

[ivory glacier]

I’d say it’s been about a week. You’re lucky. I’ve been hearing other people in the same boat

Sometimes I’ll get a match in but mostly disconnects

0 for 3. Alright that’s enough of this

[tulip tusk]

MCC seems fine, plenty of players too I counted 739 in custom servers today

i think Infinite cgb struggles sometimes, maybe due to unreliability, connecting issues, or just the weird ui. Infinite cgb was around 257 players in cgb games at same time

MCC Reach also has some awesome games in CGB. Like scarab assault/defense, which is very much like the Battlefront 2 Walker Assault, and Great Schism (elite vs elite objective game)

[tidal sentinel]

i got a question so i got a weird texture warp in the chapter 7 elevator is that in the original xbox halo ce or is it a mcc quirk,i got a screenshot of it

[crystal rain]

Is there a lore reason why the weapons, enemies, Flood forms, Halo rings, etc. look so different in between games?

[tulip tusk]

Nah just artistic and gplay

[limpid lance]

With Halo 7, would you prefer them doing character clones for co-op or other characters like 3 and 5?

[crystal rain]

For the MCC versions of Halo 1 and 2's multiplayer, is it possible to change the graphics between original and anniversary?

[prisma cipher]

Nope, Halo 1 does not have a remastered multiplayer and Halo 2: Anniversary's Multiplayer has a different game engine than Halo 2 Classic

[crystal rain]

So, we're stuck on original for 1, stuck on remastered for 2?

[prisma cipher]

only original graphics in Halo 1

[worldly yacht]

I’m gonna say it halo 2 was way better than 3

I’ve been playing both games without the rose tinted googles and gotta say 2 was better

[crystal rain]

Do you get the option to change to original graphics on 2 multiplayer?

[prisma cipher]

No, but you can play the original Halo 2 multiplayer separate from the anniversary version and viceversa

Halo 2 Anniversary is closer in a technical way to Halo 4, hence why they're separate and not like the campaigns whose anniversary versions are just an engine overlaid on top of another engine

[crystal rain]

I just hope the next Halo game has the Flood, and a good ol' M rating

[worldly yacht]

Anniversary multiplayer was meh

I skip over the multiplayer aspect of it and play the original 2

[limpid lance]

Even though we have MCC, anyone still play the games in their original format?

MCC’s great, but there’s something special about those original UIs, loading screens, and credits

[analog salmon]

i load up the games on the 360 but i dont really play them

if you only load up reach offline since the servers went down, you can still see your armour which is nice

[worldly yacht]

Menu music?

[craggy wadi]

What do you guys think of the weapon balances in halo infinite and QOL changes?

[civic sundial]

I need those changes applied to campaign as well, especially the Ravager Rebound changes

[craggy wadi]

Makes sense

[frosty condor]

I’m excited for the new ROF of the Bandit and the AR changes. Also happy to see the DOT return for the disrupter 🙂

And grenade bounce is back!

[swift iris]

Hence the shared DNA remark for the challenges for this week.

[barren root]

What should my HS% be in infinite ranked slayer?

[frosty condor]

Obviously 100%, but I usually aim for 50-60% accuracy

[edgy forum]

Friendly reminder that it’s okay to like/play Halo 4/5/Infinite 😎

[barren root]

I forgot how easy gold is lol

[analog salmon]

Accuracy and head shot % are kinda meaningless outside of snipers-only modes imho

Pre shooting and team shooting will lower both but are good practices

[ember path]

just got my first fastball medal with a plasma grenade lol.

[barren root]

I thought prefiring only brought down accuracy?

[analog salmon]

Mostly but if you’re team firing you won’t even bother with the headshot

And good teams team fire more, so will have lower hs%

[grave wedge]

man i wonder why juggernaut still hasn’t been added back to the match composer

343 said like 20 days ago in the anvil arrival blogpost that juggernaut was just now added to the match composer, but it’s nowhere to be found in any playlist

[magic night]

Might be worth submitting a bug report

[grave wedge]

I already did once, no response yet

Still weird they would forget something like that lol

[tidal sentinel]

i got a question,why is my ui and name blue if im team red and vice versa,doesnt it get confusing

[civic sundial]

That's because friendly teammates are always blue and enemies are always red if you don't change it in your settings

Personally, friendlies are yellow for me since it stands out more as a colour than blue on the HUD

Plus, the motion tracker in older games used yellow dots for friendlies and I liked that

[zealous remnant]

Are you able to change it? How?

[frosty condor]

I got enemies being yellow for that reason- easy to spot.

[frosty condor]

In accessibility, you can change the colors

[languid lily]

Is anyone’s favourite Halo Game Halo 5: Guardians? Or at least enjoyed it?

[frosty condor]

I enjoyed it but not my favorite

[languid lily]

Do you want a DLC code? I have two because I bought two halo keychains in hemsby?

[frosty condor]

No Ty

[languid lily]

Okay

[zealous remnant]

Bro!!! Thank you. I have been playing this game for over a month and didn’t realize that was a thing at all

[frosty condor]

[shadow turret]

Tbh I change my enemy color a lot, bc I feel like I can't see half of them

[signal ivy]

🍍 gang

[shadow turret]

Yellow blends in a lot to me

[magic night]

I've been told I look like a pineapple

[wooden briar]

people really Dole out the compliments for you.

[celest heron]

I like most of the changes, but don't think the AR needed a buff and I'm a bit skeptical of the ammo increases for the rockets and shotgun.

[shadow turret]

rocket ammo buff I'm 50/50 on
shotty I feel like needed it
and AR also felt weak to me tbh

[smoky forge]

rocket ammo buff only matters where there's a lot of rockets to pick up in the first place

[shadow turret]

true

[keen silo]

I missed the DoT. Happy to see that come back

[shadow turret]

same

its what actually made the Disruptor good imo

[civic sundial]

I'm hoping these balance changes are a precursor to something bigger

[tulip tusk]

something that flies with gunner seats

[civic sundial]

Or maybe something that changes gravity within a localised space

[full warren]

I keep getting unable to join game while playing witha friend

[white birch]

Suppressing fire. Just cause your round doesnt hit doesnt mean its not doing something.
Making sure someone who's trying to make a bolt for your teams flag has their heads down cause your firing an endless stream of Ghost plasma bolts across their vision is still a couple more seconds your team has to take them out.

[keen silo]

Never underestimate the power of well timed suppressive fire. Accuracy is a nice number to see be real high, but utility over funny number

[white birch]

Especially with descope too.
Yeah, you didnt hit them with all the rounds. But they're out of their scope now so they cant drop you or your teammates.

[crystal iron]

A Ravager buff would be nice. The weapon has been pretty obsolete since its conception.

[celest heron]

I think they did buff it

[civic sundial]

You'll like the update coming this Tuesday

For both versions of the Ravager too

[crystal iron]

Sweet. I’ve never really like the multiplayer but magically I’ve been playing it recently so that would be nice

[white birch]

Ravager works great in certain situations.
Its a support weapon, not an outright kill one. Same with most plasma weapons.

Works great for objective holding or clearing out a hill. Set the ground on fire, swap to your main weapon, drop anyone with no shields.
Works pretty good as a direct fire weapon too actually if you can manage it right.

[smoky forge]

it isn't that the Ravager is useless. It is that it is rarely worth picking up compared to other weapons.
A grenade is similarly effective but doesn't require switching weapons or charge up times.
If you have clear line of sight, just shoot your precision weapon.
The buff from 6 hits to kill to 5 hits to kill will hopefully make it more worthwhile. A solid move IMO.

[calm latch]

So what's up with new operation of Halo Infinite? Has it been announced?

[tulip tusk]

Operation Fleetcom, there are vids and newsposts about it

[calm latch]

Oh sick, ok, thanks for the heads up!

I've been digging the switch from Seasons to Operations

Operations just feel so much more focused

[scenic jay]

anyone else think theres gonna be somehting about noble six in a later game becuase the final cutscene in reach says 2560 same year as infinite

[high raft]

Nope, Noble has been dead for over a decade, please let go of them

[shadow turret]

Reach's ending cutscene is 2589, not 2560
and also no, Six has been dead since 2552 in the Halo universe

[barren root]

Bringing him back would be so bad

[compact bough]

Hopped back on halo infinite recently, game is so much fun rn

[dapper estuary]

i just bought MCC on PC

I grew up on halo 5 (kinda) so hopefully it's good

[barren root]

Same here except my teammates make me want to throw my Xbox out the window

[compact bough]

i wish halo 5 was on pc man

[dapper estuary]

Yea I don't even remember what I did on halo 5

I just played multiplayer and I remember never finishing the campaign

Anywya I'm gonna start with reach then go down the timeline

[compact bough]

5's multiplayer was amazing, the campaign on the other hand

not great lol, it has the best infection in all of halo tho, anmd WZ firefight is fun as hell

reach is my favorite campaign personally, enjoy the journey

[dapper estuary]

Omfgg infection ❤️

Actually I remember

[whole summit]

Yeah i still want to play as Locke and See Halo 5's Y Busting Cliffhanger of an ending

so yeah I'm all for Rare Replay and Halo 5 on Steam

[dapper estuary]

The day I got halo 5, I had a choice of Gears 5 or halo 5 and I wasn't allowed 18+ games at the time so i picked halo 5 I put the disc in the xbox and realised

I had to wait 3 days to download (I had 0 idea downloaded games existed)

[dapper estuary]

Gonna start with reach

[compact bough]

enjoy it, 11/10 game

[dapper estuary]

Yuh I tested out CE by plating the first mission

It's so gooe

Like seriously idk why I had so much fun in the first mission

Everything's so perfectly balanced and I had grenades tk throw

[compact bough]

great games

[dapper estuary]

I really want the halo 5 ragdoll effects

Grunts are my favourite enemy and you can use them as guides since they run to near by enemies of your ever stuck

Its crazy

And u can bash their skulls in with a pistol

[compact bough]

i miss the physics from the first halo infinite flight

for some reason the ragdolls were broken, bodies would go flying lol

[dapper estuary]

Lmao never played halo inf

I've h3ard it's just average hopefully they will make a masterfully crafted story not based on master chief or anything

Next generation

[compact bough]

Old physics went crazy lol

[dapper estuary]

Lmao

I remember combat rolling down a flight of stairs after i had died so perfectly it made the enemy look down at the ragdoll like it was a player

[compact bough]

lol

[barren root]

Why so many onyx players?

[celest heron]

do you mean rank or progression?

[shadow turret]

ngl
Sentry Defense is the first good experience I've had in BTB

I have found tho, with Firefight and BTB, Scarr seems to have worse performace than other maps

[barren root]

Rank. I thought less than 3% of the player base would be there but it’s way higher

[shadow turret]

For both Ranked and Career Rank there's a ton of people

[barren root]

I really like that if you did well but your team didn’t do well, you don’t lose a lot. Probably one of the best ranked systems I ever played tbh

Other than bronze being nonexistent

[crystal iron]

i love john halo he shoots aliens and sits down and eats chinese food with the marines and shares cool stories and everything

[dapper estuary]

i wonder when master chief will show up in this halo game

[civic sundial]

Which one are you playing?

[ruby lake]

probably halo game

[glacial tartan]

There’s a wide grouping of ratings in Onyx since it’s a range. 1500 vs 2000 is very different. If it were more subdivided youd see the curve you’re expecting.

[dapper estuary]

also is inf worth playing?

like the multiplayer

[sturdy kernel]

Ofc

[spare finch]

I’d say so, though I got called bad at the game yesterday despite there being better enemies (I’m actually quite good at the game)

[dapper estuary]

alr

[zenith holly]

We're your teammates worse and they rather call you bad instead of themselves?

[spare finch]

I’d say they were below my skill level, there was only one-to-two other good players on my team

[full warren]

what is the issue with halo infinite right now every 2-3 games I get match making failed

then I can't play until I restart the game, sicne if I try to search it will find game but then wont let me load in and just cancell the match making

[spare finch]

Instead of that I get a match that ends immediately after starting randomly

[zenith holly]

I've had some of those but I'm annoyed of joining late games on firefight when im still grinding for hero

[full warren]

I had game start and just black screen with sound of other player playing

This all started happening since last patch

[spare finch]

That’s annoying when that happens

[full warren]

Like they messed up some match making code, like why won't it left me join a game, its already found and loaded...

[spare finch]

Halo Infinite but your spartan is completely blinded and has no eyes

Wth the bot just deleted my message for saying I can’t see well from far away

[glacial tartan]

I would let it cycle, same thing happens in MCC and after a certain amount of time it goes through.

[spare finch]

Apparently iratus thinks the word for not being able to see well is not good? That seems ableist to delete messages containing that word when I’m referring to myself and the black screen glitch…

[full warren]

it is really annoying its every 3-4 games

restarting that often is annoying

[full warren]

I am blind

Works for me

or is there another word you are using lol

[spare finch]

No, i’m just comparing my blindness to the black screen glitch

[full warren]

its crazying how much the match making want you to lose, I won a few squad battles in a row and looks like I am not lossing them so the game put me in a game that is half way done, and 20 kills down haha like come on seriously how obviously does it want me to lose one

[olive brook]

its alright

[spare finch]

Matchmaking is unhinged in infinite

Completely nonexistent in the other games

[olive brook]

i cant even find matches most of the day

[full warren]

i resorted to expanded only playing USA servers now

[olive brook]

my favorite part of the halo infinite experience is getting a incredibly unbalanced match where half my team ends up leaving

[halcyon marlin]

Does anyone know why halo infinite matchmaking servers don't work properly? Most of our fireteam gets booted or sits in "waiting"...

[full warren]

its happeneing lately no idea why, just server problems

[olive brook]

yeah servers are having so many problems lately

[celest heron]

that's just modern halo in general

[halcyon marlin]

Did they release anything about a fix coming? It's been a whole week with these issues lol

[tulip tusk]

😔

[full warren]

I don't know if they even acknowledged the problems

They said something is wrong with match making on the 18th July, its been 10 days so no idea what they been doing

[coarse dagger]

If your still seeing issues , be sure to submit a support ticket with the details or bump an existing ticket with additional details

[sullen kiln]

Please refer to the Halo Support site for additional information and/or to submit a ticket concerning any issues you may be experiencing.

https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[karmic oriole]

Is something wrong with infinite? Every time I play a game and then go to play another it says lost connection to dedicated server and I have to restart it to fix it

[grand schooner]

Unsure! But does anyone how to get a high score on BTB sentry mode on Halo infinite? It’s seem inconsistent where I get 20kills and get 2000 but I’ve seen instances of people gaining 10kills but get like 2800? Maybe I’m trippin but how does the scoring work in BTB sentry mode?

[white birch]

More points for kills I think. It used to be 200, not sure what it is now.

[barren root]

Idk what causes it but every 2-4 games I’m getting it

And matchmaking giving me 7(8) players for 5 minutes

[vocal jewel]

when people play in a fire team not everyone is loading into the game for some reason the infinite servers bug out for a couple people, Its been happening for a few weeks now

[barren root]

Max sensitivity and It feels slow

[barren root]

I love when the other team double swings everything and my team wants to ego challenge everything

[leaden island]

which battlepass should i level that has like whatever the ingame currency in it without buying it? or is there even one

[acoustic tiger]

If I complete a campaign on legendary with a 0 scoring skull on will I still get the achievement of completing the campaign on legendary

[crimson berry]

Anyone able to play atm? I keep getting server errors.

[formal sigil]

I submitted a ticket, my bet is either they are somehow unaware half the playerbase is not able to play the game???? or they just do not care, ill post here hwen they reply

[crimson berry]

I'm starting to get this same error.

Oh, well. Maybe I should just wait till tomorrow. Tired of toxic enemy players today.

[sturdy kernel]

Yes

[edgy latch]

are some of you unable to even access customization in infinite?

[hushed nest]

So this happens in halo.

Friends: so how's the master chief collection going on

me: flood scares me..

[frosty condor]

It scares a lot of folks

[gray swan]

The scary factor of the flood in ce is so good

[craggy wadi]

you know you like SBMM even if you know it or not

[barren root]

Let’s go. 8 kills 8 deaths and 8 assists

[craggy wadi]

check your corners

[frosty condor]

Rookie numbers, gotta pump those numbers up

[barren root]

I had more damage than the guy with 15 kills not much I can do

Ok I locked in and went 17/7/6

[frosty condor]

There you go!!

[barren root]

Just needed some words of encouragement LOL

[craggy wadi]

keep it up, set goal for each session. getting MVP at least one time or better

[barren root]

For me it’s getting at least 3.5k damage

That game I had 4k

[craggy wadi]

damage is good, map knowledge and spawn locations

[barren root]

I’ve been watching some pro league clips just to see what they do

[craggy wadi]

I like to motivate myself and get in the mood before I even decide to play

[barren root]

I notice If I’m hungry or thirsty I do poorly

[craggy wadi]

sandwitches

and coffee

[barren root]

I can’t do caffeine, it goes right through me

I find carrots work really well for me

[craggy wadi]

cool

[barren root]

I just gotta get a stack

[craggy wadi]

do you dip carrots in something?

can't stand them raw

[barren root]

I love them raw

Sometimes I’ll use ranch dressing but raw carrots are healthier

[craggy wadi]

carrots and ranch

yeah

less body shots and more precision with head

[barren root]

Funny you say that, most games I’m either first or second with HS%

Most of it is just crosshair placement that I picked up from other games

[craggy wadi]

keyboard and mouse?

[barren root]

Roller

The aim assist is very helpful

I also have controller sensitivity down, and I’d need to find my sweet spot with kbm

[craggy wadi]

I am surpprised most people don't mark

[barren root]

Mark?

[craggy wadi]

call out

mark option in settings

[barren root]

Yeah I notice people expect you to know spawns and how to spawn trap and what spawns are open

[craggy wadi]

I would suggest getting to know the mark

[barren root]

High enough rank it’s a necessity but in plat, not everybody’s gonna know all that

[craggy wadi]

how do you practice?

[barren root]

Play games. Against ai is helpful just for aiming because you get a lot of reps in a short time

Aim is mostly muscle memory, reactions, and prefires

[craggy wadi]

what I would like to know is which weapon has the less shots for a kill outside of the S7 sniper

[barren root]

In ranked you get the bandit. It’s a very good mid range gun. 5 shot perfect. You should worry less about what type of gun because you start with the same guns. Power weapons are equidistant from the other team so you just have to get there first

Even wall weapons are usually symmetrical on the map

[craggy wadi]

I guess I should say outside of power weapons

br used to be 3-4

[barren root]

It depends. Assault rifle melts up close. BR is very good mid range.

[craggy wadi]

what button is grenade throw?

your

[barren root]

LB, I play with default controls

One of the bumpers I don’t remember

[craggy wadi]

if you decide to switch to keyboard and mouse it is faster ms

[barren root]

I won’t switch to mouse. I tried it and went 2-17

Just because I was losing gunfights I usually win

[craggy wadi]

heard

grew up on controller

[barren root]

Same. I’m tryna learn how to curb slide. I’ve gotten it a few times but I’m not consistent

[craggy wadi]

I am better sniper with mouse

good thing they upped the mag

[barren root]

Another tip is to use your movement to assist your aim

[craggy wadi]

that is instinct

[shadow turret]

I know curb slides fairly well if you wanted me to teach you sometime
iirc there's a couple settings that make it a lot more consistent

[barren root]

Ofc ofc

[shadow turret]

dunno when I'll be on bc there's some stuff I wanted to do, but if its alright I can ping you when I get back on

[barren root]

👍

[thorn raven]

man i cant wait for Wednesday's update

[civic sundial]

You mean Tuesday?

[barren root]

Aren’t they supposed to be adding some reach cosmetics and weapon balancing?

[civic sundial]

They are

[barren root]

Just read the bandit changes. I’m so happy

[civic sundial]

The Ravager changes are real nice too, especially the campaign variant which desperately needed some changes

[barren root]

Happy to see the campaign variants getting some recognition

[barren root]

I love when my team wants to sprint up middle lane and die to the same sniper 5 times

[manic wing]

oh my god riven mangler and rebound ravager finally not useless

there are those who said this day would never come...

[civic sundial]

I just hope those changes come to the campaign too

[sharp schooner]

When does the official stuff with the weapon and armor drops start back up on twitch? I need 3 more hours.

[shadow turret]

stream should still be up

[sharp schooner]

Cool

[craggy wadi]

if I was going to make real spartan armor in real life what materials should I consider?

has to be light weight and bullet proof

[sturdy kernel]

I guess Titanuim is perfect material

[crystal rain]

What do you guys think Halo 7 should be about?

[tulip tusk]

im too dumb to write for games

[crystal rain]

I think it should focus on the Flood more, and have a nice M rating with plenty of body horror.

[tulip tusk]

i would enjoy that im a sucker for flood stuff

[crystal rain]

I think a proper open world Halo with multiple planets and rings to explore would be nice

Each planet and ring will be the size of Halo Infinite's world

[tulip tusk]

maybe, open world can be fun or it can be empty.

i would like the next game to be like one of those games where players have access to a lot of tools to create anything. like Infinite's forge, but more, and a much larger collection of weapons, vehicles, etc.
This will pair with a very nice custom browser where mods are easily shared, and dont need an external download, if mods are required at all.

i guess it would need some system to drain money from people too, so idk how to do that. i guess the usual cosmetics n stuff. people want to spend 1000s of dollars on a game so best let them

[crystal rain]

How do you think MCC will turn out from here?

[tulip tusk]

MCC is still unique bc it has a lot that even Infinite does not.

Mostly bc creators are able to make "gametype mods", that introduce content one does not expect. For example, anyone can join the MCC custom browser and play the following without any downloading/preparation:

• phantom vs pelican maps. Pilotable phantoms and pelicans. They have working weapons too.
• scarab invasions where a makeshift scarab (essentially a scarab, it looks and moves very well) moves and can be destroyed. Plays like the Battlefront Walker Assault mode. The scarab also defends itself and destroys objective buildings with its main cannon and rear top turret.
• Elite vs elite invasions with unique classes and maps and special behaviors
• more stuff i cant think of

[crystal rain]

How about an Anniversary version of the Halo 1 mulitplayer?

[tulip tusk]

Feels like that time has passed. But people will make h1 maps and themes if they want via future forges

[crystal rain]

I'm just hoping that they'll at least fix the graphical stutters for the cutscenes in the original graphics version of Halo 2...

[crystal rain]

Do you think they'll do that?

[crimson berry]

I'm starting to get tired of Halo. :/ I either get matches that are good or like this where no ones either dealing with vehicles or letting the other team take them and it's just a slaughter. Not fun anymore.

[plucky river]

Anti-vehicle solutions needs work but I think Ispiteful's suggestions on vehicle spawn placements and rates is solid.

[tulip tusk]

playing customs isa nice way to change it up mcc and infinite. matchmaking is kinda limited

[crimson berry]

Not sure who that is but I agree. I spent bits of that match trying to deal with vehicles and my teammates just... would grab a vehicle and lose it. :x

[crimson berry]

Where is the freaking team balancing at?

I got two people constantly feeding the enemy weapons at this point.

[crimson berry]

YEah, that don't exist anymore. I keep finding teams that no one is doing anything besides dying to the enemy.

This match better be good or I'm out. I legit cannot stand this crap today.

Not surprised. I'm done.

[crystal iron]

[Cortana] CE Ending
Halo... It's Finished...

[plucky river]

Anyone experience game loading lag/ stuttering on forge maps in match making?

[crystal rain]

I'm just hoping one day for a Halo game where the gameplay graphics look like the pre-rendered cutscenes from 2 Anniversary...

[crystal rain]

But that's a pipe dream for me

What I really want is for 343 to keep polishing MCC, or release a new Halo game with the Flood.

[spare finch]

“No, I think we’re just getting started”
Proceeds to get one of the best armors in the franchise

[crystal iron]

“No, I think we’r.. game crashes"

[crimson berry]

Sadly, they stopped doing anything with it unless they do just random updates.

[turbid snow]

Can I download the 360 version of halo 4 to my series x?

[civic sundial]

Yes, all the 360 Halo games are playable via backwards compatibility

Just most people stick with MCC since there's more stuff and they can be played online

[turbid snow]

Yeah i just wanna sort of experience the og game for some nostalgia

[turbid snow]

Strange bc in the microsoft store it says currently not available

Is it not available in all countries?

[civic sundial]

Wait? You don't have the physical copies?

[turbid snow]

Oh yea sorry i forgot to mention that

Im trying to get it from the ms store

[celest heron]

are you just trying to play campaign or mp?

[formal kettle]

It's been a long time since I haven't touched a halo game. But today was the day that the Xbox 360 marketplace shut down. And I'm sad to hear this.

[paper bridge]

in the campaigns, are the npcs invincible? they dont seem to die, just occasionally disappear but i think they just got lost on those occasions

[civic sundial]

They can die

With some exceptions

[smoky forge]

depends which campaign. In Halo CE there are no invincible marines, there's just multiple Johnsons

In halo 2 and 3, essential AI is invincible and will go "downed" for a while if you try to 360 noscope'm

[civic sundial]

Never seen Johnson go down before outside of the method to get him to survive being killed by Spark

Didn't know he was falling and we've had Elites being playable in previous games, starting in Halo 2 and ending in Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer

Ok... Still not sure why he's falling or whatever

And playable Elites weren't something promised for Infinite

[spare finch]

Just got a round where my teammates constantly get betrayal kills

Specifically betraying me though

[civic sundial]

I see nobody getting heated here. Not sure why you think that? And giving vague statements claiming someone is falling is kinda weird

[zealous cedar]

what was their name?

i think i ran into them earlier

[spare finch]

Dunno it was 5 of them

[zealous cedar]

do you remember any of them?

and also what gamemode were you playing, i had that happen to me on btb

[spare finch]

No, I left the match so it wouldn’t count them

It was Sentry Defense

[zealous cedar]

oh on infinite?

[spare finch]

Yeah

Infinite is that weird with matchmaking

[wise dove]

Is anyone else have a 4 Minute wait to find a Ranked Snipers match?? Just me?

[keen silo]

It’s also literally the middle of a work day in the US. A very long wait time like that doesn’t surprise me

[wise dove]

Trueeee, I just got home from a 2 month work trip away from home, wanted to get some games in 🤣

[spare finch]

Anyone having server issues with infinite?

[celest heron]

they've been having issues for a couple weeks now

[crystal iron]

Why does halo 4 get so much hate? The combat is awesome and the story is pretty solid
Also, does halo waypoint still work on Xbox 360?

[civic sundial]

Nope

[crystal iron]

Dang, so theres a bunch of achievements I'll never get

[edgy forum]

Idk why the Waypoint app got scrapped, I usually check my progress there but it is what it is

I check online third party websites to check my rank, but not anymore since I reached Hero!

[topaz pier]

I think one of the reasons were because of ammo

[wet scaffold]

bro i got suspended for winning a match

it's for 20 mins

rip

[topaz pier]

What did you do💀

[wet scaffold]

nothing just winning a match i wasn't even top leader bored i was in the middle

i had 12 kills and 7 deaths

[topaz pier]

What does it say

[wet scaffold]

it's just said i'm suspended until 2:34

this has happened 4 times in the past two weeks

[celest heron]

did you quit previous games?

[full warren]

3 games and the issue with match making happens again, can't join game and match making cancelled... seriously when are they going to fix it

restarting the game every 3-4 matches is annoying.

[barren root]

-10 because my team doesn’t know how to stay together. Get me out of plat bro😭

[lusty wraith]

Some people didn’t particularly like it 🤷‍♂️

[smoky forge]

Different people like different things. IMO H4 wasn't fun

[zenith holly]

Since they're returning headhunter and VIP, you think they'll add invasion and use the banished spartan lore they're pushing as a way to make it work?

[fresh steppe]

can’t post images for it but we’re at a hotel and there was a halo raven fireteam arcade game. so fun. so good

ran out of money on the second to last level 💔

[crimson berry]

Yet another match where hardly anyone was dealing with vehicles right outside of base.

Think I'm done with BTB for a long while and I was enjoying it too.

[white birch]

Play Squad Battle instead for a bit.

[quartz falcon]

I have a question

[tulip tusk]

its tough trying to shoot vehicle by self need that swarm fire. i remember trying to kill a dang enemy wasp and failing

[quartz falcon]

Even though it’s not really Halo related and given that I’m pretty tired of seeing non-Microsoft and Activision characters on the game

I think Arbiter should appear in COD Warzone given that Chief was in Fortnite

[crimson berry]

Swear to god.

Team balancing is gone. On a team in stockpile, they don't know how to play at all.

Now can I please, please get one match with good teammates?

[celest heron]

saw a bandit skin that looked a bit interesting and thought about getting, but then noticed it was in an expensive bundle. sigh, wish we could buy individual items.

[white birch]

You can...if you dont own all of em, LOL.
Freakin recent bundle...

[velvet moth]

I think deleting Halo cured my depression

[silk vault]

Facts

[silk vault]

It's depressing to see how much halo has fallen

[velvet moth]

it really is, played since CE originally launched and I just can't take it anymore.

[silk vault]

I started when halo 3 came out on the 360. It's actually kinda crazy how old the og games are now

Feels like everything after reach was slowly getting worse

[velvet moth]

i agree. i honestly think they went the correct direction with the multiplayer in 5 and then threw that away too. I have no hope for this franchise 😭

[silk vault]

Agreed, halo 5 did have a good multiplayer. At this point the only thing 343/Microsoft can do good now is misleading people

Campaign on the other hand

Well you know lol

[cunning jungle]

Pretty hype for the new event tonight, if the Haunted helmet isn't earnable though I'm gonna be annoyed

[sullen owl]

Don't let yourself get your hopes up. I'm running on the assumption that any cosmetic teased is going to be in a paid bundle. The gamemodes and balance updates though? I'm gonna eat good.

[chilly lodge]

Hello people

[stoic atlas]

The reticle update for the dmr is going to change engagement range significantly

[formal kettle]

I just heard rumors of a remake or reboot on the way in 5 years. And tbh I don't know if Microsoft will make a new console by that time then. But I have an idea, why not reset the timeline into the Atriox timeline and tell 2 stories of John 117 and Thel Vadamee (the gold elite who will eventually become the arbiter later on) but this time they form up a team back in time like back to the future. At least I tried telling a good story.

[civic sundial]

Atriox hasn't changed the timeline

And those rumours are based off of speculation if I remember correctly

And if Atriox did find a way to go back in time to change events, surely he'd want to wipe out his enemies before they became a threat to begin with?

[tulip tusk]

No time travel...worst idea ever every time I see it. Lazy awful awful

[crystal iron]

rumors for things likes phones are trustworthy because the componants of a phone like iphone or samsung has been locked in and has to go through multiple companies and chances are at least 1 guy has leaked something
rumors for games dont work because things are always changing things even at last minute

[violet fulcrum]

Do you know when the update happens

[civic sundial]

In about an hour

[crystal iron]

whats being updated

[tulip tusk]

forge, sandbox, ranked

• pass, armor, store

[formal kettle]

https://youtu.be/S_tsMSPM0Iw?si=qwJD24OowZKHrtHR

[formal kettle]

And then there's
this

Atriox is basically in 97,368 BCE. It's an ice age. But it's speculation and I'm thinking maybe a reboot is planned. There's no possibility of a sequel if a villain is back in time. And Chief is in the future. Maybe just maybe, I'm not lying this time when it comes to evidence.

[tulip tusk]

Atriox is not in 97,368 BCE. That date is for the Forerunner that is speaking about imprisoning the Endless and deploying Offensive Bias.

Chief isnt in the future.

There is no time travel, it's time dilation

[civic sundial]

Anyway, I doubt Halo would do a time travel story where it changes the events of the timeline. At most I could see a time loop where someone manages to go back to find out what caused an event, only for them going back in time being the reason why the event happened

[formal kettle]

Then wouldn't that be terrible writing? Then time travel wouldn't be necessary if they want to trap people in the Halos. They're breaking down what halos could do. If for example they want to activate the arc again. Then the covenant would have to invade earth again, to activate a beacon. If there is no time travel then Halo needs better writing for a sequel. Otherwise time travel is necessary for a reboot. Halo infinite did not explain how atriox survived or went to a bce time dilation. Look if anything has the access to advanced technology? It's the forerunners, and I'm sick and tired of these lies just because it's a time dilation doesn't mean one person can sleep and travel back in the past. That is required for a time machine. Sure time works differently in the Halo infinite but, how do we know the future sequel is in the future or in the past? 343 doesn't explain that. Which is confusing.

[tulip tusk]

are u trolling or are u serious

[formal kettle]

I'm serious.

[tulip tusk]

ok ill respond

[civic sundial]

Beacons? This isn't Mass Effect

Also the idea that the writing is terrible and time travel is required to reboot the series falls part very quickly when you realise that you don't need a time travel plot to reboot a series. They could just reboot things

Like, COD didn't use a time travel plot to explain why they rebooted Modern Warfare, they just went "This new Modern Warfare is a reboot"

[onyx latch]

Well, emphasis on tried I suppose.

[onyx latch]

Oh dear.

[formal kettle]

Ok what are the tall structures I'm thinking of that activated the arc. Oh yes the key ships which is my mistake on the other hand I thought it was a beacon.

[tulip tusk]

1. I don't know what your point is with the trapping and Halo.
2. If someone wants to activate the Ark they can just go there and do it, I think it has repaired itself by now. It was heavily damaged during Halo 3 but it's doing okay by Halo Wars 2.
3. Atriox did not go into a BCE time. Atrioix did not go into BCE time. Atriox did not. The BCE is for the audio, where the Forerunner decided to imprison Endless and deploy Offensive Bias.
4. No reboot.
5. Forerunners could not control time. But they did construct Time Locks, which are tools of time dilation. They are not time traveling machines.
6. There are no time machines.

[onyx latch]

Emphasis on 5-Time dilation is not the same thing as time travel, no matter how much anyone says it is. Nobody in Halo has gone back in time.

[civic sundial]

Atriox didn't need a Keyship when he went to the Ark the first time round, he took the long way therr

And he has no interest in actually firing the rings

Only reason he wanted one was to have a gun pointed at the head of the universe, metaphorically speaking

[formal kettle]

Ok my mistake everyone I thought time travel was in Halo but clearly I was wrong about time dilations. Maybe someone could have explained the lore. But if it's in the books I've been missing out on the content. Although a sequel to a further game would explain everything. And for that I apologize for making an uneducated guess. I do make arguments and semantics that fall apart. And I'll just look at the books next time.

[tulip tusk]

no problem it's fun to talk about i enjoy the lore

[formal kettle]

Are there any books on Halo that everyone should recommend I should read before I make educated guesses?

[tulip tusk]

i think my favorites are the Forerunner saga, it's a trilogy. Cryptum, Primordium, Silentium. But it may be nice to read earlier books before them

[formal kettle]

Thanks you so much. I'll learn about the forerunners. But I also ask do you know the current book on Atriox?

[tulip tusk]

is it the comic book? i havent read it, have to catch up on more recent books

[formal kettle]

Ok thanks for the update. I just thought there would be a book about atriox but the comics are about Chiefs team vs didact I think.

[tulip tusk]

there is "Halo: The Rise of Atriox" it's a comic book about Atriox past and rise to power not sure if there are any novels about him though

[formal kettle]

May I ask again who's the publisher of halo comics is it boom studios or Marvel?

[civic sundial]

Been a few different companies over the years

[onyx magnet]

im so confused how halo tag test works

been trying to get halo reach tag test to work but just gives me the same old issue

[weary trout]

it costs 75 spartan points to get the haunted helmet

75 thousand*

[crystal iron]

// FLEETCOM DEPLOYMENT

// STATUS: STILL CRASHING IN MULTIPLAYER

Honestly, all we need now is playable elites and assassinations and I do believe that the game is finished in my opinion.

Perhaps a new weapon or two as well.

Maybe even a vehicle.

[smoky wave]

The elites can stay away and is most likely will never coming back at this point, I do want new weapons tho

[crystal iron]

elites made people go wort wort wort

why were elites removed

[civic sundial]

Balancing issues

[crystal iron]

hm

dont other online games have different hit boxes

how do they deal with it

[weary trout]

yeah but other online games are usually very different than halo

only sharing some similarities like overwatch

[crystal iron]

overwatch has bigger hitboxes?

[magic night]

Overwatch has different hitboxes for each character

And each character plays very differently to account for that

[civic sundial]

Overwatch is about playing as characters with different abilities and countering them by swapping

[keen silo]

Indeed. Tanks like D.VA or roadhog have much bigger hit boxes compared to someone like Sombra or Tracer

[crystal iron]

wouldnt a good idea for halo be
ranked = all players have to be spartans
non-ranked you can pick who you want?

like if ur the better player then you being an elite isnt going to make you not be the better player vs someone else is it

[magic night]

What about people who want to play on an even playing field, but don't feel like playing Ranked?

[crystal iron]

not sure what this means

for the people who care can play as spartan and have the smaller box

for people who dont care can be elites

[magic night]

There will be people who want to play and not have to deal with the stuff that comes about from having different hitboxes who also don't want to play ranked, and there's a lot of reasons for not wanting to play ranked.

[weary trout]

bungo tried fixing this by making elites have some pro and cons compared to spartans but in the end it didnt work since the hitboxes were sucha big thing

and lets be honest, there would be 1 elite among like 12 playters

[magic night]

It also meant you could only play as Elites in like one matchmaking playlist

[crystal iron]

I guess another way around it is not do spartans vs elites, just make it random either you're all spartans or all elites for every playlist

then the elite people can be happy

but something tells me hitboxes isnt the only issue, you also got devs not wanting to make elites in the first place

imagine like a vote system before the match starts, picking spartans or elites

man i should apply to work at 343, halo world peace

[civic sundial]

Were it so easy

[crystal iron]

halo infinite 2,0 make it happen

veto system every player as spartans or elites before each match
invest your xp into either the spartan or elite armour tree
by xp packs or earn them buy playing
some armour you can only earn by playing doing achivments to show other players you dont just get cool armour using mommys credit card

[cunning jungle]

New Operation seems pretty good actually, lots of good will items that I appreciate. Military Police helmet being $8 though is wild (nice to see you can buy it separate though) should be added to the exchange also.

Nice adding a weapon model to the operation pass though, that makes it worth a purchase for me

[dense idol]

OLYMPUS TACTICAL IS CROSS CORE FOR WEAPONS

[keen scaffold]

Why is the Military Police helmet a shop item

I thought no more "legacy" items would be sold for cash

[rugged quartz]

That's not what a veto means...

[crystal iron]

could still work with veto

if the veto doesnt pass, automaitcally select spartans

[civic sundial]

That's still not what veto means

[crystal iron]

it did in halo 3

or is everyone here too young to remember that game

[shadow turret]

Was never stated afaik
A lot of "legacy" and legacy-like items have been shop items

[crystal iron]

https://i.redd.it/8s40lcux8g341.png

[lusty wraith]

They didn’t explicitly say “no legacy items in shop” but they did say that they wanted to provide value with new items rather than charging for legacy items and geo

[crystal rain]

Do you guys think that Halo MCC is better on Steam or Xbox?

[lusty wraith]

Xbox is better for split screen, and obviously for couch gameplay, PC is better in all other aspects (depending on your hardware of course, but MCC games are generally low in resource usage anyway)

You can also split screen on PC with mods I believe

[tulip tusk]

steam for the workshop and mods. although u can still play some great gametype mods on Xbox on cgb too

[spare finch]

Do we know if mk vi gen I is heading to infinite as an armor kit or is it misinformation being spread

[lusty wraith]

Bruh I just launched the update and I can’t be the only one who thinks the Operator helmet looks kinda bad?

It’s like squished and missing details

[civic sundial]

Someone modified the version of Mark VI already in the game and released it as something you can use in Blender, it's not a kit coming out for the game

[crystal rain]

180 gigabytes is a LOT of space...I'll have to delete every other game on Steam just to play MCC...

[civic sundial]

Honestly, it just doesn't make sense for a second Mark VI kit to exist alongside the one we have already in the game

[spare finch]

True

[full warren]

anyone else still getting kicked from the match making in the search?

its always match found then can not join game, I literally played 1 games and it kicked me out

[spare finch]

Servers having issues recently

[keen silo]

You can never have enough MKVI

[spare finch]

Exit and relaunch

[hallow dagger]

Did they remove the daily 500xp bonus?

[lusty wraith]

Also don’t wanna be that guy but I feel like I’ve got a lot of coatings that I never bought/unlocked

[spare finch]

Same challenge just after the sp

[sour marlin]

i just LOVE that there is nobody palying this Infinite, launch update day and 5 minute search screens in BTB, Squad battle, Firefight

[full warren]

Its every 2 games lol I have to exit and launch

[spare finch]

Rip

[cyan canyon]

13 of the 20 levels in the pass are Spartan Pts? LMAO rip this game. What a joke dude

[full warren]

1 game then I restart now I played 2nd, and 3rd game is starting without a problem but I don't have my hopes up for the 4th game

[spare finch]

It replaces filler items

[keen silo]

I’d much rather get SP than another nameplate I’ll never use or only one shoulder piece at a time.

[hallow dagger]

Ok good. I was gonna say

[hallow dagger]

XP boosters weren't filler imo

[cyan canyon]

It replaces filler items and gives you pts you can use to go and buy filler items

[spare finch]

By filler items you mean items you missed out on

😎

[cyan canyon]

No i do not

[spare finch]

Yeah you do, because if you don’t then you don’t know what you are talking about

[full warren]

wow a restart did not fix the match making...

just wasting my time here restarting and queueing

[spare finch]

Weird

Just got a round with 25 kills 3 deaths solo-queue btb

[winter adder]

Hey guys the new Halo Infinite update is it 2GB or 33GB of download on steam?

[full warren]

2GB but I don't know once downlaoded you unzip it to what size

steam always says like 4GB download but the install size is like 15gb, I think it overrites a bunch of stuff

[winter adder]

Yah I already got like a lot of space free for it, was just trying to figure out the download time and for some reason it shows 27GB / 33GB

I also have High-Res textures disabled since my display is 1080

[full warren]

wow a game where everyone on my team left so its was a 1v8 squad battle and no one re-joined

[spare finch]

Oof

[full warren]

343 really knows how to make a good match making, it was ctf, people quit before the first flag capture and no one re-joined

[grave wedge]

Crazy how 343 still hasn’t added back juggernaut

they said it was just added back into the game a few days after anvil started, yet it’s still not back 😭

Same with Ninjanaut

[karmic oriole]

How many spartan points do you get after each game

[full warren]

100

[edgy forum]

Yeah from now on 100 SP every match

So if you wanted to you can technically grind like 5,000 per day if you played 50 matches

[full warren]

There isn't that amny thigns to buy lol

[tidal wolf]

what happened to sentry defense? is it in BTB match composer now

[full warren]

why dont you check yourself instead of asking

[tidal wolf]

already did

can't find it

so can you answer my question then

[full warren]

then its gone

[spare finch]

It’s gone sadly

[tidal wolf]

any word on if it will be added into match composer?

[spare finch]

Hot take: haunted helmet should’ve been named “SKULLEMOJIII”

[full warren]

260 ping games wtf....

anyone suggest me a different game to halo inifnite that is similar? I heard xdefiant is good? I just want a arena shooter, this game is just immpoosible to play, betwen match making cancelled and 260 ping games whats the pooint

[twin jackal]

What happened to the “battle-passes are free for life” thing? Like I remember paying once for the entirety of the seasonal BP run- I’d actually be given credits once the season ended so I could buy the next..

Anyone else remember that?

[lusty wraith]

Not sure what you’re referring to, that's never something they've said

[twin jackal]

It is actually, very early infinite days

[frigid grail]

source please?

[lusty wraith]

"Battle-passes are free for life" was never a thing they've said

[frigid grail]

considered false until you can provide evidence of these claims

[tulip tusk]

i believe all they said was they dont go away if u buy them or somethin

[tidal wolf]

343 simps found

[lusty wraith]

You've got to be kidding

[twin jackal]

nah i distinctly remember getting credits back after a season ended

[lusty wraith]

Battle passes after the first one gave you enough to buy the next

[twin jackal]

yeah exactly, what happened to that

[lusty wraith]

There‘s just no more battle passes

[full warren]

you did but it was not to allow you to buy the next season for free

you got 1000 credit after you complte all 100 levels

but they didn't say that was always oging to be the case

[frigid grail]

and they switched to a 20 level BP since they saw that getting to the full 100 is very hard to do without constant play let's be honest.

[full warren]

you did not need contant play, 100 took like 2-3 weeks to complete

[frigid grail]

I mean, if you really beast mode it lol. I played like 6 hours a day (was unemployed at the time) and it took me like 1.5-2 months of constant play (I was also terrible back then haha)

[full warren]

30 kills a game gets it done real fast

[frigid grail]

My man I was barely breaking 10 a game back then lmao

you just baller status

[full warren]

I remmeber back then the match making was more relaxed, I was just getting tons of kill but never won either

because the rest of the team can't even get as many kills as I did so it was like a weird thing is killing lots but never winning

I didn't enjoy it, now its half and half, half hardcore sweat and half easy mode

[spare finch]

Whoever reacted with a puking emoji, learn what a meme is

[tidal wolf]

One time I dropped 73 kills in a match and we lost, and no I wasn't using vehicles I'm a good shot

[keen silo]

Folks on the internet? Having a sense of humor when it comes to Halo? Impossible. Humor peaked at Halo three and died immediately after

[full warren]

I wish there was a mode that is 12v12 but only guns haha, bandit only, I hate vehicles

[tidal wolf]

Dude SAME

[plucky river]

New VIP voice lines for Mister Chief. 🤗

[tidal wolf]

For wahtever reason normal btb still has tons of vehicles despite there being a heavies mode

[tidal wolf]

Also I literally get on super high killstreaks only on maps without banshees and tanks

super hottake but vehicles take no skill and are lame

[spare finch]

So basically early infinite btb

[white birch]

Who the hell is averaging 30 kills a game?

[tulip tusk]

vehicles r for experts and desert bus is the next hcs gamemode

[full warren]

BTB or squad battles, when the game had more players = more noobs

games not s always a wipeout so ends way too quick

[white birch]

Dunno what BTB game your playing cause it usually ends with a steamroll

[spare finch]

More like enemy team = sweats but ok

[celest heron]

I've watched a streamer get 50+ kills in btb games last night, lol.

[plucky river]

when someone talks, it never shows their name on the screen like other games. I don't know the name of the player talking. Is that an option to toggle on?

[frigid grail]

when I select BTB, I don't want a game that's 7v5 lmao. I want the full 12v12. Maybe even a 16v16 if it were possible

[frigid grail]

you unfortunately have to hold tab or scoreboard button and see who's on the mic. It's kinda sucky isn't it?

[plucky river]

That's awful. How was that never fixed?

[frigid grail]

I guess no one has made enough of a stink about it

[plucky river]

I played a ranked game and some guy was talking and I have no idea who it is and where he is on the map lol

It's not often someone uses a mic but still.

[frigid grail]

I mean, there's a lot of things Halo Infinite needs to add.

• Visual mic on screen so you can see who's talking, or have a speaker appear above the person talking
• Vote to kick button to get rid of cheaters, griefers, and AFK players
• Completely customizable armor paints

[plucky river]

Rejoin a game when D/C to prevent 1 hour ban would be sweet.

I noticed players still casually leave a ranked game in the middle of the match.

[spare finch]

HOW

[frigid grail]

oh yeah I'll get stuck in a match where it never loads the game and then gives me a ban if I leave since I "Left prematurely"

[spare finch]

I’ve never been banned for disconnecting

[frigid grail]

if you do it too much, like more than 3 times in a row, it can happen

[spare finch]

Weird

[plucky river]

Not sure why basic standard things were never added.

[spare finch]

It definitely doesn’t prevent quitters

[celest heron]

kb/m player and rarely misses

[twin jackal]

The new update is great and all, but when are they gonna fix the fps issue on cliffside

[silk crypt]

servers down for anyone else?

[frigid grail]

no just a bit buggy

[silk crypt]

played 1 game and have been stuck "transitioning" then says my status is offline

[twin jackal]

How does ranking work for season resets

Bc i just went 4-1 and did considerably well and i got put in plat 2

[celest heron]

works the same as before. likely knew your skill after the first game and then you played people in that range.

[twin jackal]

So basically if you suck ur first game then ur hosed for qualifying?

[celest heron]

it will make adjustments during the qualifying matches, but generally knows your skill after the first game unless you're throwing.

[twin jackal]

Thats basically what happened lol

But even then i didnt choke it that bad, and every match after that i averaged between a 3-5 kda

[celest heron]

if you're getting a high k/d, then you're probly playing against less skilled players so it's not going to give you a high rank if that's what you expected. probly thinks you're in the plat 3-5 range.

[ivory glacier]

Have they acknowledged this server issue?

I probably get into a match once for every four tries

[celest heron]

yes

[ivory glacier]

Yes they acknowledged it? Is it just gonna be the norm or they fixing it

[celest heron]

they're working on fixing it.

[ivory glacier]

Ok I’m fine with that. I haven’t heard anything and that was annoying

[celest heron]

the tweets are in there. #halo-support-news

[ivory glacier]

I didn’t really dig that deep. Just waited for this new update and briefly read the details on waypoint but didn’t see anything about servers. I basically expected it to be fixed today

[crystal iron]

Mother Of God

The Next Halo Game is indeed a remake?

[celest heron]

a fix will probly take a bit

[topaz pier]

Just rumors

[celest heron]

wdym

[crystal iron]

Oh so Mint blitz is hyping it up

[crystal iron]

I just watched one of Mint Blitz's shorts

[topaz pier]

Could be, could be not, who knows what 343 could possibly be doing

[crystal iron]

Oh yeah it's from 1 month ago nvm

Why my feed is forcing older videos I already watched idk

[ruby knoll]

step 1: don't do that

[topaz pier]

I swear, it feels like 343 hates infinite launch maps

I almost never get them despite selecting all modes as arena modes

[crystal iron]

Why?

Is over dramatizing it?

[crystal iron]

They're in custom games lol

[weak jackal]

He tends to be a little.. Clickbaity

[crystal iron]

I mean I've always had my suspicions

[crystal iron]

Alright that's my confirmation thank you

[topaz pier]

I mean in matchmaking

[frigid grail]

please please please let me be put in a game where all my teammates aren't just hamsters hitting random inputs 🙏

[topaz pier]

Nah, your gonna get me in your team instead

[frigid grail]

[raven rampart]

is there a discord or community that runs halo 3 hardcore customs? I see that trying to find a match is useless since nobody is queuing the category anymore

[celest heron]

bruh, how am I only gonna get 3.6k xp in ff with over 200 kills and more multi-kill medals than I can count? was in a wraith majority of the game. Edit: next game get half the kills with not nearly as many multi's and get a thousand more xp. huh?

[twin jackal]

Im glad we finally got haunted in infinite but i think it should’ve been a progression reward rather than a microtransaction

I like the fact that the new battle passes are f2p, but i miss having rewards that were hard(er) to obtain like haunted(ofc), Recon from H3 vidmaster challenges, Helioskrill(sorta before it was buyable in h5), etc..

[white birch]

You can get haunted by grinding. Its 75k spartan points in the exchange

[urban gate]

HALO

[craggy wadi]

is an actual melee cancel still a thing?

[raven goblet]

so when is CU30?

[coarse dagger]

Like 4 updates ago

[raven goblet]

so are we on cu31?

[coarse dagger]

36 or something by now

CUs are basically anything that requires a client side update, something you can download

[grave wedge]

They should also add event modes to the Match Composer after they move onto the next operation

Juggernaut and Sentry defense were some of the most fun modes added to the game in ages imo, and now you can only play them in custom games.

Juggernaut stings the most because 343 said they had added it to the match composer in a previous blogpost, but that was a complete lie lol

In the Anvil arrival blogpost:

“MATCH COMPOSER

With the end of Operation: Tenrai IV, both Juggernaut and Ninjanaut modes have been added to Halo Infinite’s Match Composer so you can select them (or, if it wasn't quite your speed, deselect them) at any time.”

If you look through every playlist in Halo Infinite, Juggernaut and Ninjanaut are nowhere to be found

[edgy forum]

Well maybe someone forgot to add them in

I wouldn’t worry too much about two game modes

[grave wedge]

I assume they did forget, but it’s still crazy it’s been a whole month and they’re not added back lol

I think about it a lot because i want to play these modes in matchmaking again, but they just aren’t there.

[edgy forum]

Bit of an unhealthy mindset to obsess over but if you don’t worry and just let nature take its course, assuming faith, then things will occur by the time you don’t think about it. Just worried how people’s reactions are gonna be spontaneous or volatile when they don’t get what they want.

[steep glen]

Just thinking out loud. I wonder if Local Matchmaking in Infinite has become more strict than it needs to be? I can go for hours without being able to find a game in EU, getting "Not enough players to find a game in this playlist", but when I switch to Expanded with some luck I can get a bunch of games that are still on local servers (10ms). It's like local matchmaking isn't just looking for local servers, but actively avoiding players from other regions / players searching on extended?

[nova comet]

What's the fastest game mode on halo infinite to grind Spartan points?

[manic wing]

Hey where do I find the old exchange items in Infinite? Am I stupid or are they just vaulted

[scarlet shuttle]

Finally they splitted the pack into individual parts!

They should have done this since the beginning, giving an extra items if you buy the pack or all individual items of a pack.

Oh but the price for individual items is sketchy 😂🤡 nevermind my comment.

Pack contain 8 items for 1800 credit, if you buy helmet and coating only, cost you 2000 credits. C’mon.

[twin jackal]

Its not the same and you know it

[scarlet shuttle]

I’ve been grinding Spartans Point since they released this functionality, playing a match per day and doing all the weekly challenges, never spent any and barely have enough for the Ghost of Reach.

[grave wedge]

This is very true, i’ll try to stick by a healthier mindset

[scarlet shuttle]

Why the hell am I doing better then Onyx and Heroes player when I’m just Platinum? Every single game?

[frosty condor]

Is this ranked?

[scarlet shuttle]

I’d give my team a Scorpion each, and they wouldn’t compete against me. No not ranked

It’s just annoying being on a lose streak while always being the MVP

Those ranks don’t equate to skill level, just time put into the game

Practice is what develop skills dude

You are not born with skill

If 343 had earning spartan points and the shop the way it is now, back on Day 1, they would had retained tons of players this whole time. I do like the update the way it is. It's very good now. Just need to fixed quitters and afks.

My use of funny emotes begs to differ

But they failed. They failed so hard. No matter what good we can say about this game, people made their opinion and Halo Infinite is a disaster. No amount of love can bring it back alive, and they know it, so they don’t care. That’s why they abandonned the game and it’s 10 years plan.

I hope all these gaming companies learn their lesson. All games need this on day 1 and retain customers (we are customers essentially, like in any business).

does completing the halo infinite campaign give you anything

[plucky river]

It's wild CEO's of gaming companies don't see this for their business.

Excited to grind for the haunted helmet, basically quit the game upon reaching platinum as the hero grind seem like too much but it's nice to have little grinds like this

[plucky river]

There's a few coatings and poses to unlock in the campaign.

[cunning jungle]

Some minor cosmetics for getting the spartan lockers but nothing for completing the game

[leaden island]

doesnt matter too much to me then, thanks

[cunning jungle]

That said, I've still completed infinite on legendary. It's a fun time, is a shame about no reward though

[plucky river]

Gears of War didn't learn this lesson either @scarlet shuttle . I hope Eday will have all this shop and free rewards stuff sorted out on day 1. no more excuses.

[scarlet shuttle]

They are too greedy, that’s the problem. It’s a freaking digital item, people buying it even 1$ would be enough to repay the employee working behind those cosmetic.

If your game is good and have 3 millions people playing and all buying small 1$ stuff, it will generate many millions

Now their pack are like 20 - 30$, no one buy and everyone complain and talk S against them.

[plucky river]

What is disgusting is the customer service is non existent. Imagine buying something at a shop and there's no customer service to help you.
