Price of sbmm in ranked

warped yew
#

Wait my bad did I ping?

harsh granite
#

Sbmm makes it so that once you hit the peak of your ability every game is a nail biter and you have play at your best 100% of the game.

warped yew
#

Yeah but isn't it supposed to balance each team

harsh granite
#

Naturally that stops being fun, and ranked isn’t a good way to grind lvls in this game so sweats take a break and go to casual playlist where they are better than most everyone there.

#

Not saying it’s good or bad, it’s just a side effect of the system.

#

I'm playing mcc. sbmm is almost non-existent

# potent cypress what is sbmm

A thing in matchmaking that actively tries to balance opposing teams skills so that no one gets overpowered

Sometimes it's works against you

keen silo
smoky forge
#

Skill Based MatchMaking, trying to uses player "skill data" to make balanced games.
If it wasn't there, matchmaking would just try and drop you in the first, lowest ping lobby it could build using available players.
You'd get more frequent matches with teams of all newbies vs teams of high skilled players.
Ideally SBMM should say "find 8 players that are all close to the same skill level" but that is VERY hard to find if player counts are low or people have wonky teams.
so instead it says "Let's find 8 players that I can divide into two similar average skill levels"
Which leads to stuff like the best player in the lobby being put on the team with the three worst players, and the other four players being "close in skill"

#

in the before days, there was no match making or "skill data" to track, and there was just a list of servers to join (usually by picking the lowest ping server that had openings, and was playing something you didn't hate)
This let people join a lobby, play with those players on whatever maps and modes the server was running, and leave whenever they wanted. The teams were usually shuffled every match, which meant your friends might be on the other team, but it didn't matter.

If the match was unbalanced, some games had the option to Vote to Shuffle teams, or Vote to End Match if it was really bad.
Or you just waited until you got stomped and hoped for a better match up the next game.
Or you just quit and someone else would join the open slot.

It had a lot of advantages, especially with low player counts, but also led to people just playing the same match and mode over and over again (thing Blood gultch CTF nonstop on Halo PC)

celest heron
#

that's a long way to just say custom game browser, lol.

smoky forge
#

There's some pretty substantial differences between a traditional server browser and the CGB in Infinite.
We don't have "vote to shuffle", "vote to end match", or auto shuffling of teams in Infinte's CGB.
We also cannot sort by low ping AND see how many players are in the lobby.
Nor can we sort by the number of players currently IN a match, only the MAX players the match can have.

So if you make your FireFight game set the the rational 4 or 8 players, you are, by defaultm at the very bottom of the list of matches.
We also do not have any way to set up a "dedicated server" so that it runs a rotation of matches / maps / modes. It MUST be manually selected for each round.
That means there's no reliable "USA_EAST_CTF server that runs curated BTB maps, so there's pretty much no consistency with what you experience on the CGB.

Arguably that's the role of Social Matchmaking hoppers, but you then have all the pains that come from Matchmaking (unbalanced teams, quitters, AFKers, long matching times) with none of the actual social aspects that comes from having a lobby stay together for multiple matches in a row.

#

Don't get me wrong, the CGB is a great addition that will likely get better over time, but it is at present, a worse experience than Halo PC offered in 2003

celest heron
#

I know it's different, but they would likely know what server lobbies are if they played pc games. anyway, I wasn't being serious with my response.

#

Just looking for a little advice here... I don't have the rig to play competitively, but I've enjoyed the game since its inception. I only used to do the campaigns, but have gotten into Multiplayer in the past year and specifically the Husky Raid optioins. Q... Is it even worth reporting players? It's the quitters and idlers that annoy me. Nothing worse than getting dropped into a loss or having your team fall apart mid-match and you get smoked bc of imbalance of teams. You never know if in-game reporting does anything, but even thru waypoint, they claim you need to attach media to further their investigations. 9 out 10 reports result in some hidden agent stating no action will be taken (regardless of egregious evidence provided). Do they really care at 343 or is this just a formality forced upon them by Microsoft/Xbox? Just curious if I'm wasting my time even bothering. Thx.

smoky forge
#

Sounds like a case where a server browser would have provided you with a more enjoyable social experience lol.
You can report people for quitting / afking, but they already know when people quit. Because they quit.
The automatic quit related bans are pretty "gentle" for obvious reasons. They want people to continue playing the game, even if they quit some times, rather than moving on to a different game entirely.

#

out of curiousity, what sort of punishment scheme do you think would be "Just" for quitters / afkers?

jagged loom
#

Appreciate the reply. I'm in over 3000 matches and don't want to quit the deal altogether. I get the gentle scale of punishment (there's always a legit reason someone might have to leave/idle). I guess I'm more pointing to the peeps who have DNF'd thousands of times or over half their matches when they feel they're team or stats are going to get dinged. Considering it's just a social deal, not even sure why someone would pull the ripcord and not just play it out for the sake of others.

smoky forge
#

yep. Super frustrating. I almost exclusively play customs these days

jagged loom
#

Idk what an appropriate scale of punishment would look like bc, as you noted, they know who the quitters are already and don't want to run off their remaining players. Some of these folks are blatantly the worst mates in the game though. Their scale is so shrowded as is, I might need to take your advice and look at customs. I get smoked in cross-play, but I'd almost rather that be the case than see the same dozen players frequently that you know are going to bail the second their goals look to be unmet.

smoky forge
#

You can always try and find full parties to avoid randos quitting on you, but that usually opens you up to getting matched against good 4 stacks lol. (and is just an exhausting amount of effort sometimes)

jagged loom
#

starbug798078 is the worst I've ever come across. Fyi. Lol. Prob shouldn't name-drop, but forget that. They appear to have been suspended for a while, but have come back and started peppering in more and more quits.

#

I like that idea. I've friended a bunch of people on there and hook up occasionally, but most don't really play for the team aspect anyway. I'll have to do more research. Maybe one day I'll get off the old console at 60 fps, the 60" screen and reg controller and level up.

smoky forge
#

It does seem like some people are just jerks for the fun of it

jagged loom
#

Yup. You're right. Thanks for the insight. Cheers.

There are people in MCC that have 0-100 kills and 50-60 THOUSAND deaths. All banning per quit does is incentivize AFKing, and AFKing isnt bannable apparently.

System needs to be reworked, everyone has been repeating it since before Infinite was released, but even the differences there dont seem to address the issue.

smoky forge
#

AFKing is VERY hard to detect reliably, without having false positives.
Spend too long camping with a sniper? Oops. kicked for AFK
Remember when people were just putting a rubberband on their controller to make them spin while AFKing MCC?

#

or if people are afraid of AFK bans, but have mentally checked out from the match, there's plenty of other ways they can be unhelpful to the game. It is not a fun thing to try and solve.

glacial tartan
#

Even manual reports do not ban AFKs

#

So I agree it can be difficult to detect, but if they are AFK for hundreds of matches straight, you can look at their service records and they've never moved, and thats still not bannable? Thats where it falls apart a bit, no?

smoky forge
#

agree that should be something that you get bopped for

glacial tartan
#

If MCC carried over a tweaked version of Infinites system it would be better. You shouldnt be banned for every quit, you should be penalized for repeat behavior. But of course thats a more difficult system to implement 😄

#

Dont want to incentivize AFKing but also dont want to over-penalize quits.

smoky forge
#

Some sort of "Performance minimum" to award game completion EXP is what MCC needed IMO.
Yeah, if you are completely unable to hit the enemy at all, it would be frustrating not getting any sort of EXP, but allowing AFKers to profit from the system was a far more frustrating issue

jagged loom
#

I'd love to see a published chart that shows parameters for certain behaviors. For AFK/Idling and quits, maybe it's a gentle scale up to a certain number, but becomes more progressive as you are detected as being a consistent/repeat violator. We shouldn't have to even report this behavior--they have it already. If you, on occasion, quit/idle and get dinged, I could live with that regardless of whether I meant to bc them's the rules. As for more abusive or egregious behavior, different animal altogether. I just wish there was more transparency. Anything like that would deter some of the peeps who lean on the lack of oversight.

#

As of now, it's almost like the contract workers at 343 are taking their roles as seriously as the dude from Office Space. Just sitting back with their legs up, eating cheetos off their desks while playing Tetris.

coarse dagger
#

That's pretty disingenuous tbh. 343 have a good compliment of FTEs working across projects. They take their work very seriously

smoky forge
#

it is indeed frustrating. I kinda get why 343 tends to err more on the side of caution with AFK bans, but the MCC setup actively rewarded bad behavior, leading to the need to do manual "ban waves" that should never have been necessary

jagged loom
#

I wouldn't call it disingenuous. Possibly somewhat inaccurate for a host of unknown reasons around how 343 is structured, but I can only base my observations off the results of a vast number of legitimate/documented reports that are seemingly rejected out of hand. They might be some of the greatest, hardest workers out there, but there is no transparency around the issues and you only have your experiences and boilerplate responses to work from when drawing a conclusion. If feasible, maybe a team expansion is what's needed in order to uphold their own codes and comm guidelines. Not trying to rile anyone up. As a multi-disciplined analyst and pm trained in lean six sigma who also loves the game, I just see inefficiencies. My bad if I came off as insensitive. Not my intention.

Because the Bandit doesnt have a carry handle.

civic sundial
#

It's also based off of concept art for Reach before Bungie decided to replace the BR with the DMR

#

Not to mention that outside of some minor changes (The biggest being the lack of scope), the Bandit is basically the Reach DMR anyway in terms of design

#

Here we go, this is the concept art

It's not surprising that it was gonna appear in Infinite to me, given how much in the game was based on Reach concept art, such as the Elite Mercenaries (The blue ones) we see in the game

keen silo
#

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, the Reach DMR had a much higher coolness factor

Will say though, be nice if we got some stuff from H4/5 make its way into Infinite, I think we've got more than enough Reach stuff in the game right now

Those aren't like that for lack of effort. It's due to whether it's worth using resources to make the destruction physics good or using those resources elsewhere in the game

It's not my favourite Battle Rifle design (Which would be Halo 4's BR) but I like how it's been realised in Infinite. Big fan of the yellow ammo counter it has

If Infinite could get a new weapon, what would it be and how it would serve a unique purpose from other guns that might do the same thing

Pretty nice update overall. The only bad thing, which is kinda outright scummy is the 2024 Championship bundle. Having it be a temporary thing after the promise of armour being available forever is really bad. People should be looking into seeing if that breaks advertising laws

Idk if the devs read here but wanted to comment that I LOVE the new firefight playlist.

#

I got no issue with the improvements the games have gotten. Im part of the gen that grew up with 4 so I like the games better overall. Were talking about armor design here. Not the game

#

And for the record I like Mk6 a ton. I think as evolution for armor development it made a lot of sense to start having these custom pieces. Just my issue is with this specific piece made for the mk7

# jade pebble What are you even talking about lmao

so i made a feedback post recently and deleted it because the conversation was going no where because 1 admin and 1 slipstream technician both wanted to be "correct" instead of actually engaging in the topic itself, **no point in talking to these kinds of people no matter what you say they will reply back so they feel they are "Correct" **

Massive proportions typically utilized by certain Halo youtubers that emphasize a Spartan's 'assets' to SODB levels.

Wait this is still weird

I mean most of the time when I see someone begging for more Spartan 'representation' they are being disingenuous in their actual intention.

crystal iron

It’s just personalization she’s talking about

Don’t gotta make it weird

it's an argument I've had with fellow transfemmes a lot. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well I'm different I hope 😭

I didn't say that?

onyx latch

I know you didn't.

Then what are you talking about?

#

You just made it weird lol

onyx latch
#

I mean I do absolutely wish we had more representation options, I just would rather they stuck to basic pride flag emblems and such rather than body types that accentuate things that the armor explicitly covers.

#

It makes more sense and preserves aesthetics.

What

onyx latch
crystal iron
#

Uhm ok bro

civic arch
#

we have a female voice option in the game already but still only male bodies

crystal iron
#

It is what it is i guess. Big part of reach community back then were teens. Those desires are rly just normal

#

Like I’m pretty sure every body who’s past the teen phase has had those sorta desires CSGOMister

#

I’m no different but I’ve changed I hope 👀

civic arch
#

im going to suprise you buddy, other games have playable girl characters, im going to take a guess and say 343 is just too lazy or understaffed to remodel armors

#

and thats the ONLY reason we have 3 of the same body with different arm thickness

onyx latch
#

That's a hell of a wild claim.

crystal iron
#

Well no reason to keep whining. It is just customization anyway. Not like it changes gameplay. I mean Ivy just kinda left the convo. She doesn’t rly care

civic arch
#

and yet its almost certainly truth

onyx latch
#

Not really.

#

It was foundational canon that Spartans, AMAB or AFAB, were practically identical in armor outside of what they added to it.

crystal iron
#

The audacity to include race dedication months like Asian month but we don’t have any foreign accent voices to put for our Spartans

onyx latch
#

Reach was the game that added the physical difference. But we had fem Spartans since 2007.

crystal iron
#

I’m kidding lol hehe

onyx latch
#

Due to the fact the characters are wearing nearly a ton of straight up superpowered plate mail, honestly, I think even the waist option is too generous.

civic arch
#

none of that should really matter though, they already went down the ingame shop road, canon is second to income for them and the playerbase is dieng

What If there was a height difference

question about halo infinite's campaign completion bar. Does it only count the open world things like getting all Spartan Cores and Propaganda towers or does it include story missions as well?

They're more like how Arnold looked as a Terminator than an average military grunt

sure but their augments arent going to completely overwrite their genetic build. theyll have variation

#

if you compare for example female and male body builders theres a clear difference in every area (just an extreme example)

#

especially the newer the gen of spartan the more this should vary. realistically all spartan 2 should probably be shaped like fridges with how early their augments started

amber badge

So they're going to 100% be more homogenous in build.

Buuuuut on the other hand, IV augs include a full torso dismantling and additional muscle grafting, plus limb lengthening and bone grafts.

white birch

jade pebble

Unless they can sign all that up through some neural link

Youd basically become a toddler

onyx latch

They basically speedrun relearning because their bodies are physiologically rewired to.

jade pebble
#

Makes sense

#

Youd probs need all that anyway with how much your body changes

#

Body builders often say they gotta relearn some niche movements when muscle grows significantly

#

Like to throw basketball for example

#

And these guys getting bones and extended muscles and everything else

#

Would be nice to see a proper side by side of all the gens in both male and female form to really see how all this changes them. Especially with 2s being so young when it all starts

But also allthese softies have entered the gaming industry and have made it even more horrible so theres that too.

civic sundial

Uh. What?

And making every FPS game into an MMO sounds like a horrible idea for the market

And Star Wars already has an MMO, SWTOR. It ain't an FPS but it's still got enough of a fanbase that despite Disney gutting the old continuity years ago, they've allowed it to carry on as its own thing

Am curious if anyone knows what the Halo Infinite Legendary Campaign 100% Speedrun average times are? I just got 100% on Legendary and it only took me 7 hours 10 minutes. I definitely could have gone a lot faster and didn't play super optimally in terms of not dying, so I think I could get it down to 6 hours 30 minutes without "much" effort. I wonder how that compares to others. Anyone here tried a speedrun of that category before?

MCC is strait up pointless to play. You might get one good game in 10 as a solo queue player. It's either playing with/against a bunch of people who are trying Halo for the first time, or you're playing against a full stack of players, with teammates that have quit out, and are spawntrapped the entire game. This franchise is seriously so cooked.

hello, i want to get more in on the halo lore by reading the books but i have no idea which to start, any recommendations?

coarse dagger
#

Fall of Reach is probably a good one, first one published

timid heath
#

thanks

tender field
#

so each purchasable colour is only applicable to one weapon or armour set? that's irritating

#

Am i tripping?I can't recall any loading screen between maps in the same mission of any halo games

civic sundial
#

Which game are you talking about?

gusty spear
civic sundial
#

Which mission did you get a loading screen in specifically?

frosty condor
#

Also why you won't see the game credits when you beat each game

tender field
#

don't wanna buy one to see if it's for all my armours because I can only afford a single one

shadow turret
#

99% of stuff is crosscore, and everything in the shop is
it should have a little infinity looking symbol underneath if its crosscore

civic sundial
#

Aye, they just don't show it across every core and weapon since it would make it look like there's more items than there is (Though this is an issue with some older bundles and how they show off coatings for multiple weapons and cores)

Hi, I want to start to speedrun Halo 3 in Legendary. To practice some parts, I saw people use custom checkpoint but I don’t know how that work ( I play on Halo MCC on PC )

Now think of it, that would be amazing if when I choose the campaign I would be instantly launched into oldschool menu of each of the games... Ah, the dreams

#

Me personally, I feel like Halo should incorporate some rock to their soundtrack

#

Maybe not to the cool factor of halo 2's ost, but maybe something closer to Rock in a Hard Place or Rock Anthem for saving the world

#

But it would be nice to get some Odyssey, Reclaimer, Mjolner, and Gungir like tracks in Forge or Campaign 👀

#

What I'm asking is for more experimentation with the soundtrack. I liked Adjutant Resolution's bossfight track not just because it was a bop, but it reminded me of the techno ambience of Sacred Icon

edgy forum
#

Yeah it bops

#

I liked Neil Davidges’ work and Kazumi Nouichi’s OST from Halo 4 & 5

#

And whoever did the theme to Halo Wars 2 at the main menu 👌

#

why truth death in halo 3 feels so anticlimatic

#

or its just me,

Idk

#

The entire game has been leading up to it anyway

It's definitely a fitting end for a false prophet

Prophet of Truth's death in Halo 3 was not very memorable.

What would you have rather they done with his death?

You know, it's interesting reading that and seeing someone go "Halo 3 is not canon" from back in those days

just sounds like they're salty

civic sundial

Sounds like the people who love to yell "343's Halo aren't canon"

I'd tell them that h2 isn't canon cause corbunga and the enemies don't look the same from ce.

#

Something about that scene just didn't resonate with me. Miranda died, Gravemind was yapping, and Arbiter wanted revenge I guess. So, these other things kind of masked the significance of the Prophet's death. And also, normally I'd back O'Donnell but the music didn't quite hit either. The idea / script for his death seems ok, just the implementation is not very cinematic to my taste.

#

Oh yea, just heard the Halo 2 VA for Truth again, far far better. That's the guy from the Halo 2 TV ad also, with that absolute iconic line.

tulip tusk
#

one thing i realize tht bothers me are the hogs in infinite i dont like them after playing mcc games. but the ability to change rotation in midair and the extra turning with a and d on pc is cool

Does anyone remember Sega genesis?

Try those graphics

#

Or better yet my first pc was macintosh

#

@tulip tusk

#

My first pc game was command and conquer

#

Then doom

#

Now you can watch doom played on holographics

#

Unless the laws can be undone with and about AI. We are limited to weak AI enemies. If you get my drift

#

Halo 2 graphics were good considering that decade

civic sundial
#

AI in games isn't limited by laws. The AI that people want regulation for is generative AI that's being used to plagiarise art and the voices and appearances of actors

craggy wadi
#

The ai I want is

#

The next evolution to enemy ai

#

Think in terms of an enemy that learns

crystal iron
#

Hi

civic sundial
#

Alien Isolation had AI that learnt throughout the game to become more effective at killing you back in 2014

craggy wadi
#

So there are no restrictions?

civic sundial
#

What you're asking for has been round for a long time

#

And is not what people wanting regulations on AI are going after

craggy wadi
#

Then give me a good algorithm

#

And what I heard was wrong

civic sundial
#

Heck, Resident Evil has had systems in place that dynamically changes the difficulty of enemies for years. There's a reason speedrunners of those games manipulate the AI to lower the difficulty for easier fights

craggy wadi
#

Still want learning bots

civic sundial
#

That can be done but it's not a necessity for Halo

craggy wadi
#

Thank you for answering and correcting what I heard

craggy wadi
civic sundial
#

What?

tulip tusk
#

There was a Shinobi game I could never beat

rancid python
#

The next Halo should be an MMO RPG with the Spartan Assault Camera view, if not that then an ESO camera 1st and 3rd person. Views. The players Spartan runs with lowered Weapon. Tho that game may not last too long. It would have everything Halo Related in the game, from characters to landscape. Including the destroyed vehicles and buildings.

#

Just a small idea but yeah idk how long it would last

keen silo
#

Didn’t someone else make a similar statement recently in this channel?

rancid python
#

Not sure

civic sundial
#

Found it, different user 5 days ago said Halo and other franchises all need to become MMO games (They also claimed that "softies" ruined the industry and are the reason most franchises aren't MMOs, whatever that means)

#

And they used Star Wars as an example of a franchise without one despite there being the Old Republic MMO that's still updated

rancid python
#

Well idk about star wars, but it would be something different, something unnatural

#

I think that person meant like the characters or something

#

It's whatever that works

civic sundial
#

They specifically used the term MMO, not sure how they could've been talking about characters

So I'm playing the Halo infinite campaign on multiplayer and the other equipment doesn't exist. The grappling hook is the only option even after we got the shield from the dead spartan.
What do?

I wish the repulser was in the campaign. I get why not cause that would be a super easy way to break the game but still

civic sundial
#

You can use the grapple to break stuff

jade pebble
#

I doubt its not there because of game breaking possibilities

#

was the repulsor in the game when it launched btw? curious if the QT is the only thing theyve added later on

civic sundial
#

It was there at launch

#

My guess is that either it was a launch equipment because of the extra time the game had after being delayed or they decided to not include it in campaign over the other pieces of equipment that were there

#

Though I do have to wonder how they'd handle having an extra piece of equipment

#

I'd assume by swapping pieces out, kinda like weapons but maybe only at the FOBs?

#

just learned that when they brought headhunter back this week, they removed the 10 skulls to win on purpose

why???

#

the best part about that mode was when there was a target everyone in the lobby was chasing before they got to the hill, for both the players trying to deny them the win and the target rushing to get there

#

seen so many clips + my experience myself/with friends where people are jumping in their seats trying to make it to the hill but now it's pointless because it doesn't get you the win. just 343 sucking the fun out of the mode

#

and on top of that the xp for skulls was lowered which was like ok fine, but then removing this feature too. wtf

Bruh I dropped 75 kills in a match and we didn't win

warped yew
#

How did your other teammates do?

#

Actually I bet they did horribly considering how SBMM works

tidal wolf
#

In summary our team had 215 kills so my teammates weren't useless but I was def carrying hard

#

but yeah since I am statistically a very good player (and I like to think that I'm really good as well) I often get the most brain dead teammates to compensate for team balancing

zealous panther
#

Sooo it wasn't a slayer?

civic sundial
#

Yeah that sounds like an objective mode, where sure killing the enemy helps but that ain't gonna win the game

You know Helldivers II is like Halo Infinite. Both games were hyped up and released, then fell off because of something, but they are still there to play at the end of the day. Hope my Helldivers brothers are okay! salute

They just released a new update and it looked cool

Halo infinite wasn't really hyped at release. Also mp free so this is why a lot of people tried it.

edgy forum
#

I thought the player count was pretty low

#

I’m just making up weird comparisons to justify the state of gaming lol

zealous panther
#

infinite peak around 4k in steam. Helldivers 2 around 16k. I would say this is not fair to compare this 2 games. I mean Hali is an arena fps which is basically a dead genre, so it is pretty good numbers all things consider

Anyone else not finding games? Been searching for a game for a while now, EU

It’s a shame we never got the Sparrowhawk as a pilot able aircraft. It’s unlikely we’ll ever get one at this point, with the Wasp serving a similar role, but still.

I can argue Helldivers and Halo Infinite are like long lost brothers lol the ODST concept

tidal wolf
civic sundial
#

You can't just focus on killing the enemy team and nothing else though, if your teammates aren't playing the objective, tell them to go play the objective

tidal wolf
#

nah man if I'm clearing the entire enemy base allowing for free flag grabs thats not on me

civic sundial
#

So you cleared the base, are standing inside the base where the flag is, and you decide not to grab the flag?

#

Yeah no, you're the one causing the problems

tidal wolf
#

Sniping from middle of the map. You do not seem to understand how this game works.

#

75 kills means 750 seconds of enemies doing LITERALLY nothing not even adding the time it takes to run back into the action

civic sundial
#

You left out the detail you were sniping, that's not somehow me not understanding how the game

#

And again, you need to tell your team to go for the flag if they're not doing that

tidal wolf
#

The part you don't understand is how easy it is to run flags when the whole enemy team is dead

#

aw yes let me interrupt my overkill to type a message in chat makes sense to me

civic sundial
#

Repeating "You don't understand" does not somehow mean I don't understand how the game works

#

And yes, that's better than nothing

tidal wolf
#

Nah I'm going to continue my multikill

civic sundial
#

Enjoy those games you're losing because you refuse to play the objective then

tidal wolf
#

My man I'm not the problem. You are telling ME the guy who got 75 kills that I'M the one not doing enough for the team LMAO

#

My whole statement is that team balancing gives you the absolute most braindead useless teammates if you are somewhat decent at the game

warm sapphire
#

Equipment no work in infinite campaign after doing multiplayer. Unlocked shield and isn't an option, only grapple. What do?

civic sundial
#

You don't unlock equipment for the campaign by playing multiplayer. Play through more of the campaign

warm sapphire
#

So the shield and detector and etc. Are not available at all in multiplayer? In my single save file obviously I have all 4

civic sundial
#

They are available in the multiplayer, but aren't you trying to get those pieces of equipment in the campaign?

warm sapphire
#

So we got the shield from the dead spartan in the campaign. And none of us can use the shield. Just the grapple even after I replayed and got the shield again by myself

civic sundial
#

Do you have footage of this?

warm sapphire
#

You want a screenshot that the grapple is the only option?

civic sundial
#

I'd prefer footage that you can't use the drop shield but sure

#

How far into the campaign are you?

warm sapphire
#

Idk what footage you want. I can upgrade the shield but can not deploy it. I'll send images in DM

civic sundial
#

Footage of you picking it up and not being able to use it, that's what I want

warm sapphire
#

Why? I can show you I have it unlocked and it's not present. Does that not still get the point across rather than me playing the mission a 4th time?

civic sundial
#

Because having footage is helpful to have when it comes to an issue like what you're describing. And again, how far into the campaign are you?

warm sapphire
#

16% (recovery) so just done some side stuff after tremonius

civic sundial
#

You've not reached where you get the drop shield yet

#

You've picked up the shield generator module that's used for upgrading your Mjolnir's shields

warm sapphire
#

Oh I'm dense. Nvm

Can you hide the UI on the multiplayer screen?
