Microsoft has to protect its IP. Again, blame the leakers for poisoning the well

#

EULA and UGC agreements. If they didn't want to make stuff for free the option exists. Nobody forces forgers to use forge

#

The leaker(s) did literally nothing wrong.

I think the people leaking Microsoft IP burned the bridge. Stepping away from a volunteer project is one thing, and that's totally fair

# solemn portal The leaker(s) did literally nothing wrong.

enjoy digsite being taken behind a shed and Microsoft never opening stuff to the community for the next 50+ years. Do you think this hurts Microsoft at all? Some old stuff being leaked? Microsoft will suffer nothing from this. But I guess it lets the community pretend they stuck it to le big ebul companee

solemn portal
#

Digsite was already dead.

rancid adder
#

It's gonna hurt the communities sentiment which in time will hurt eventually.

#

Depending if they decide to add more fuel to the fire.

ruby knoll
#

Halo isnt even a rounding error on Microsoft's balance sheet. The community thinks Halo is more important to Microsoft than it actually is

#

if this had happened in the 00s, maybe Microsoft would've cared

#

"halo made xbox11!!!111" yeah bro that's great it's also 2024.

solemn portal
#

Who are you talking to? Geez.

ruby knoll
#

do you think the leakers hurt Microsoft? Did they show the big evil corporation to not mess with the cool and ebic communiteee for the very important IP?

solemn portal
#

No one was actually hurt by it. Digsite was already closing down. Nothing happened.

rancid adder
#

I don't think the intent was to hurt ms

#

But alas I don't expect microshaft to do anything positive at all at this point lol.

ruby knoll
#

from the phrasing I saw it was "getting back" at MS

solemn portal
#

Someone saw the opportunity to release something that was never gonna see the light of day and took it. "Hurting" MS had nothing to do with it

rancid adder
#

It's unclear to me what their intent was but I know a while ago some fallout 76 content was leaked because a lot of people were annoyed with the game so that had a purpose the current leak though I couldn't say.

#

Good time to move on from this now - reminder that we don't allow discussing leaks/leaked content

Does anyone have any documentation for the gameplay of the Elites behavior from Halo CE? The health and shooting mechanics I can do on my own, I just need the behavior.

Does anyone know exactly how to get these two medals in H2A custom games?

# gray swan Ur playing assault and ricochet right

Yes and I tried to get the goal one near my goal and enemy goal and it didn't work so unsure if I'm doing something wrong or it is bugged. As for the bomb one I don't understand because there is no option to defuse bomb?
But there was this one custom match I played a while ago where i saw the option to defuse bomb but that map looked like maybe a forge map coz it didnt look like any of the default maps i can choose from when creating a custom lobby.

i was looking at the new years post & people already are hoping for halo 7 this year

vagrant finch
#

gonna be so disappointed 😔🙏

#

It's gonna help with onboarding new members of the team since Unreal is taught to allot of up and coming developers and designers

#

Plus Halo Studios don't need to make the game engine anymore

solemn portal
#

Lots of optimism here. Not expecting a new mainline game within at least the next 3 years. Personally, I'm expecting an actual release in 5 years, and not necessarily feature complete, just like Infinite's release.

celest heron
#

would probly not be a good year to release if gta6 is still coming out this year.

solemn portal
#

Releasing a game the same year as GTA6 isn't an issue. Only the first few months truly matter.

celest heron
#

yes, and I'd guess they'll both be towards the end of the year if they both did. if not, then it would be better.

#

The standard for AAA development cycle used to be 1,5 years, then 3 years (PS2 and PS3 era) and now around 5 years. Hopefully it doesn't get any longer.

civic sundial
#

T'is the nature of the industry evolving quickly

tulip tusk
#

its tough id like games to be faster but id also like the devs to not be in a sweatshop for $1/hr

hoary basalt
#

I used to be like take all the time you need but that didnt work with infinite

solemn portal
#

Technology was supposed to make development faster and easier. ||That was a lie.||

civic sundial
#

I think the industry has so many issues going on that trying to blame long dev times on one thing is naive

tulip tusk
#

i dont mind hearing games having high budgets either i guess that means their workers are getting decent money at least or i hope

civic sundial
#

Like, so many people who were working in the industry got laid off these past two years, myself included. That's gonna affect dev times

solemn portal
#

Oh no, I'm not blaming just tech. I can't comment openly on what I truly think in here though.

civic sundial
#

It also doesn't help when projects are led by people who don't understand that they need to actually plan out their projects properly and not change things suddenly because why not, something I was witness to at my old job. Not saying this happens at every studio but it can happen

#

Plus there's stuff like ballooning budgets can lead to wasted time and resources being used on something that is cut or something being cut because it just wasn't feasible to finish in time, meaning that suddenly gears have to shift to polish up other areas

#

This industry is messy is the best way to put it

Just joined here to say a few words as a massive Halo fan and to get this off my chest. Yes, i will be venting. Halo Studios/Microsoft, you are so unbelievably out of touch. You make me sick and the way you treat us, the community, is completely asinine.

What is your problem with forge creators? It's not "real content"?! Are you out of your mind? These people that put their heart and soul into these projects are the REASON this franchise is still kicking around. Your refusal to compensate these people with passion for your game is genuinly insane.

What is your problem with the Digsite team? They have showed more passion for this franchise than you ever had the past 15 years. You really think Halo fans aren't excited to play restored cut content from the BETTER Halo games?

Most important of all, What is your issue with us, the community? Why refuse to listen to us? I just don't get it. I'm at my breaking point. I can't do it anymore. This is for the real Halo fans in this discord that are done with your bs. I was actually very optimistic with the "Halo Studios" rebrand. Then you threw it all away.

coarse dagger
#

I don't think anyone from Halo Studios has ever said that Forge content is not real content.

It's also strange that compensation for forgers is only starting to crop up now, and wasn't mentiond years ago when Bungie and 343 were adding forged maps into matchmaking

solemn portal
#

I think it's because of the scale of the work that goes into making Forge maps in Infinite (it's not the Reach days anymore), and the fact that they believe that they are keeping the community alive by providing actual content, instead of what Halo Studio (formerly 343 Industries) is doing right now.

#

Whether you believe that their feelings are valid doesn't matter, it's just how they feel right about now.

tulip tusk
#

I forge some maps i don't think I deserve $ for them tho 🤣 maybe I'm not skilled enough. But idk the pay the Forgers thing is weird to me, it's just a passion for some players. Some are SUPER skilled with scripting and stuff maybe that can translate into a dev job for some

crisp hull

#

I was talking about the forge maps that make it into matchmaking and the creators getting 0 credit for it. Not even acknowledged. Its the polar opposite of what Epic does to its creators in Fortnite

tulip tusk
#

That would be cool what like $50 a map?

crisp hull
#

Anything. doesn't even need to be money

Still that's for the Forgers to decide.

Hmm I'm confused @crisp hull creators get acknowledged idk where the idea that they don't even get acknowledged comes from

#

Even a mediocre forger like me got acknowledged for a non MM map !

Waypoint has regular blogs that highlight community created forge content

crisp hull
#

like @hoary basalt said, Its so much different than the bungie days. Its teams making maps now, not just 1 dude

i quit march 15th weird they are so close idr is there was a specific reason

its the worst halo game imo. I probably wont open it again. I love the passion for your maps tho. Keep up the good work man. I love community created stuff.

#

I wouldn't say Infinite is the worst imo. It's the most disappointing cuz of how good it ended up being

#

Talking about the MP anyway, campaign was mid af

vagrant finch
#

i loved the campaign i can’t lie

#

halo 5 might be my least favourite

#

multiplayer for infinite was fun idrc about how many maps are in it or whatever

#

it was replayable, yo

crisp hull
warped yew
#

I mean the shop sucks booty but still

crisp hull
#

The game feels like it's held together by a popsicle stick and spit

warped yew
#

You mean it's unpolished?

#

Cuz that's how Halo 2 is actually held together

crisp hull
#

It's more than unpolished. It's significantly worse than Halo 2

warped yew
#

Blud how

No grapple in halo 2 therefore infinite is better

No team collision

Why does team collision matter?

crisp hull
#

Going inside of people...screwed me over so many times with grenades and rockets cause I kept thinking collision was in the game

#

No good reason for it to not be there

warped yew
#

I mean it sounds like you died of cuz of preference. Mabye just get use to it honestly

crisp hull
#

Never did. I never got used to sprinting and sliding either. I tolerated it in 4 and 5 but coudnt do it in infinite.

warped yew
#

I mean the sprint is slow in Infinite

crisp hull
#

EXACTLY

warped yew
#

But like if it's slow, then don't use it

#

Not like your much faster anyway

#

It's only usable for tech movement but no one uses it often

crisp hull
#

It's not that simple. I like ranked Halo. You can't just not sprint in high ranks.

#

You have to use it for sliding.

#

Cause of the new dumb movement stuff

warped yew
#

It is what it is ig

#

I never saw any real use of slide or sprint for Halo but I've gotten use to it

crisp hull
#

Never needed to be in the game

warped yew
#

Yeah well it did and it aint going away anytime soon

crisp hull
#

Also I don't want to get used to it 😂

Well you can always play the earlier games. :>

Stuff like sandbox changes I can get around cuz most of the sandbox changes are lowkey better imo

#

It's stuff like the juggernaut because it's so unpolished for what it is

Speaking of sandbox, the mythic overhauls are so solid except the infinite guns. I just never liked any of them.

Hello

#

I'm doing Halo Reach LASO playlist. On Tip of the Spear rn, but was wondering if there are any tips for Long Night of Solace. It was the hardest mission in my Legendary playthrough because Seraphs, and the Corvette infiltration.

signal ivy
#

hide behind the station

real imp
#

I do that for the first part. The second part with the Corvette is where I feel like the Seraphs become overwhelming

#

Once they start shooting, it feels like they never let you go

#

For the Corvette infiltration part, I don't think most of it should be too bad except the beginning with all of the Elites, but I'm worried about the end with the Focus Rifle Elite. That weapon on Legendary is the single nastiest gun, and they never miss with it.

LASO in a nutshell

#

Nightfall took me like 3h 20m yesterday. I almost lost my mind lol.

#

Did you do any of the skips on Nightfall?

real imp
#

I ran past what I could. Tried the forklift clip, but the enemies kept loading in for some reason, so I just ended up fighting them, and it took forever.

civic sundial
#

Yeah, that's weird, they shouldn't load in

#

Learned that the decoy ability and NPC allies are extremely useful tho.

#

Jun doing all the carrying

#

When he's not staring blankly at a wall and shooting it anyway

real imp
# civic sundial Yeah, that's weird, they shouldn't load in

I tried the first time and Jun aggro'd the enemies in the area I was supposed to skip, so even tho I got the clip, I figured they loaded in because of that, but when I retried the second time, nothing was aggro'd but the enemies were still loaded in for some reason, and Jun sorta just vanished completely. Third time same thing as the first time happened, so I just rolled with it.

My win to loss ratio is more in favor of losses now, because I keep on being put in to losing games.

#

-sigh-

left snow
#

If, for some reason, the game is favoured to the opposition - then the loss is expected and you won't lose much, if any, MMR.

It will be easy to get that CSR back.

If you are losing a bit - chances are you pushed your MMR up (form and luck) but can't sustain that output. Which happens.

Your MMR will fall and you'll get better opponents.

The danger is that most people don't recognise fatigue and/or getting a bit tilted and extend their drop off in MMR

#

golden moas are working again if anyone was looking for them.

#

and if you get tired of matchmaking and want something more freeform, custom games are great. @dusty olive

#

some of the best games you'll ever find are in the customs browser, its very underrated in infinite and used well in MCC.

#

I love rockets only.

dusty olive
#

Definitely. I do play sometimes, but I am grinding through Echoes Within and wins get me XP.

In matchmaking I get more.

you get the full EXP for customs in MCC, so i play them more there.

People say that Halo 2 LASO is the hardest challenge the series has to offer

I think I found the worst halo 2 mod, a lot of copy written music, bad weapon design, and the creator saying it is a serious mod when it is more meme balanced.

like how does reloading 3 mags into a weapon load more ammo into it, when all you are doing is removing the ammo.

Also the amount of badly made ambushes of one hit enemies.

#

Reposted with out the Bad words sorry.

I really wish Infinite had armor presets for each core.

I mean MCC's 24-hour peak on Steam has been higher then Infinite's for the last year straight

Money was not the issue with MCC. Its still not free.

nah but there's not the incentive to support it even tho it's probably 343's most popular title

Infinite second worst campaign

Over odst and 3 is crazy

balmy wedge
fossil harbor
#

Was just so boring imo, both in gameplay and plot

#

Felt like there was zero grandeur that you usually get in halo

#

No large scale battles really was lame. All the interesting stuff happened in the first cutscene

#

I blame most of it on the state of development tho

balmy wedge
#

That's fair, but I actually liked the subtlety of the campaign. It felt like you were unraveling a mystery.

fossil harbor
#

I honestly don’t know whether I like 5 or infinite more. 5 had amazing scenery but Infinite really did have some nice quiet moments while exploring

5's honestly a masterclass in environment design, IMO. It's some crazy variety.

Nah, I actually don't blame their ranking. I don't agree with it, but I get it. OfficialDester likes them narratives, the ones on the higher end were praised for their narratives and those on the lower end were criticized for their narratives. Halo 3's amazing, but its storytelling is its weakest point.

#

It's a subjective list and listing 5 below 3 for any reason is absolutely insane.

There is always forerunner artifacts around forerunner planets normally that where prometheans based in or at least invade who ever trespass but I kinda noticed prometheans set up base to planets that were at least glassed by the covenant why are they more into turning planets into a Forerunner worlds

warped yew
#

I get the story is pretty good for some folks, but the gameplay is lackluster compared to previous iterations and it has Reach's problems but worse lmao

#

Also Halo 4 brought back the gondola ride for some reason so like what

onyx latch
fossil harbor
#

I rank halo campaigns based off if they have the mammoth or not

#

halo 4 wins

#

Ngl I didn’t mind the prometheans that much, I think if people realized you could plasma pistol knights it wouldn’t be as annoying

crystal iron
#

Bruh the mammoth is a glorified gondola ride

fossil harbor
#

It’s badass, how can you not enjoy that mission

crystal iron
#

It’s slow af

fossil harbor
#

Fun af you mean

#

Big car go vroom

crystal iron
#

Big car go slow

fossil harbor
#

Also loaded with good weapons unlike literally any gondola ride in halo 2

crystal iron
#

I swear and the encounters never change so it’s always the same

crystal iron
#

The gondola ride in Regret literally has you load up with weapons before you get in so what

fossil harbor
#

Not a fan of how halo 2 feels in general so I’ll just agree to disagree

crystal iron
#

We’re now moving on to the general feel now? Bruh

fossil harbor
#

I was never specifically talking about the weapons so

crystal iron
#

Ok

fossil harbor
#

Glorified gondola ride is crazy tho

crystal iron
#

I just hate every gondola ride in every Halo because you always go on a set path. You’ll always face the same encounters so there’s no replayability

tulip tusk
#

1 person made a Infinite mission where u have a gondola ride heading to a forerunner structure. its a pvpve infection invasion, the gondola part is really hard

crystal iron
fossil harbor
#

I like the level for more than just the gameplay so it really doesn’t bother me that I’m sitting on a moving thing

onyx latch
fossil harbor
#

It’s a gorgeous level with a cool giant vehicle and a nice sniper segment at the end

onyx latch
#

Which turns into a tank segment

fossil harbor
#

Probably my favorite mission in h4

onyx latch
#

Also most of the fighting in the Mammoth level is actually done via warthog that isn't in the Mammoth

crystal iron
#

I guess it is what it is. Halo is all about replay ability for me and the mission really has no way to tackle encounters differently except for that 1 part

onyx latch
#

It's a bit disingenuous to call it a 'gondola level'

fossil harbor
#

And you’ve got spartans with you

onyx latch
#

You really only have to be in the Mammoth twice, and the first is technically optional.

crystal iron
fossil harbor
onyx latch
#

I honestly don't care for that level either, I just don't think calling the Mammoth ride a gondola as a really accurate take.

#

It's so weirdly linear for a Halo vehicle level.

#

Which can be said for a lot of 4.

crystal iron
#

It’s a set path like every gondola ride. I’ll just leave it at that if

onyx latch
#

Mmn.

crystal iron
#

Honestly I would’ve liked if the Mammoth was treated like an actual fortress

#

Whenever I try to store my warthogs back up, they despawn

fossil harbor
#

I was like 12 when I played halo 4 tho so it had a big impression on me. Adore that campaign

crystal iron
#

Imagine if the whole gimmick of this mission was you found vehicles throughout the mission and you would choose what vehicles to put in the mammoth for your AI to later drive

fossil harbor
#

Should have just let us drive the mammoth

#

Would be so goofy

crystal iron
#

Meh. It’s a slow vehicle and most people probably would’ve taken a warthog cuz it’s faster

fossil harbor
#

Have you seen the thing catch up to you

tulip tusk
#

maybe the mammoth or elephant will return into multi one day. it was only 1 map but worth it for the dumb fun

fossil harbor
#

Mammoth only engages turbo mode if you drive far, kinda funny

crystal iron
#

We should get a fortress type vehicle in the next game ngl. Actually gimme vehicles that can interact with other vehicles like a Pelican or Phantom

#

Gimme a faster elephant type vehicle so I can store some vehicles and buddies

Why do people just ignore vehicles so.much? This isn't the old Halos, bullets actually do something to them in Infinite.

warped yew

Idk but I ain't wasting anything that's not a anti vehicle weapon against a vehicle tbh

tulip tusk
#

they prob got tired of being shocked and sitting there

#

oh did u mean ignoring like not shooting them

warped yew
#

Yes that's what the comment says lol

#

Truth is most vehicles are friggin paper machete in terms of health and weight. I find no value in driving one unless it's a Scorpion or Wraith or it's CTF

tulip tusk
#

its like a horror game maybe if u dont look at vehicles they wont hurt u

You really have to be stupid to drive a banshee or wasp in one of the bigger open BTB maps

It's so easy to just shock the vehicles in the sky or use a hydra

tulip tusk

looking up is the hardest part

warped yew
#

For vehicles?

tulip tusk
#

no player looking up

#

sometimes they look up and dont see vehicle so they stop looking up

#

its like someone saying look there is a ufo, then u look and dont see it

#

after while u ignore ufo claims

warped yew
#

I'm confused

#

Wait are you just saying look up is impossible for vehicles

tulip tusk
#

no like a player looking up trying to find or check for air stuff

#

like an aware player moves around knowing where an air vehicle may be or where they can get you from, like a sense, but others just tired of looking in air and also looking on ground and dont wanna deal with it

#

it can be annoying to keep up with and figuring where to move while knowing an air thing will prob pester u. like if u were getting hit with artillery constantly

Hello there.
I have a question.
Is the penultimate level from Halo 2 (High Charity) hard?

#

I remember vividly (from a year ago) that I just got a mental breakdown from the boss in that level.

#

And I was in either Heroic or Normal, as far as I remember.

tulip tusk
#

i remember it being pretty hard its been a while, i would prob get destroyed cuz i wouldnt remember the encounters for a bit

rose drum
#

Just found out that it wasn't High Charity, it was Great Journey.

balmy wedge
#

I'd say no. When I was younger figuring out how to beat Tartarus was frustrating, but if you bring a beam rifle into the boss fight it makes it a lot easier.

rose drum
#

Oh, coolio.

#

Without the BR, Tartarus still ain't even frustrating, just run away from him while Johnson is taking down his shields

#

Hey this is the second time I’m bringing this up I think, but I feel like Halo Studios should really look into removing the option to purchase premium event passes at 2000 after a player completes it. Could actually be a consumer protection issue since the 500 credit option is presented on the same page and you don’t actually get anything else for that extra 1500

Why are you playing this mod, you dont need XP anymore. Go play literally anything else, please

fossil harbor
#

have you considered that maybe people can play whatever mode they like regardless of their career rank

solemn portal
#

Also, XP based ranks mean absolutely nothing. Smurfs will always exist and some people have bad days or just play a lot of Halo.

radiant sundial
#

maybe perhaps, the same reason you're playing it?

white birch
#

Who the heck is BTB fun for?
Im only playing it cause its the only mode that gives XP anymore.

radiant sundial
#

It's not their job to accommodate you in the game, neither is it your job to accommodate them

radiant sundial
#

and is substantially easier to get xp from

white birch
#

Not anymore, they axed the extra points recently.
Accedentally or not, not sure.
But the only mode with boosts is BTB now

radiant sundial
#

🤨

#

you're looking for battle pass xp then, not career rank xp

white birch
#

No, Carrer got axed too.

#

Whys everything XP anyway, bloody naming convention

radiant sundial
#

my dear fish, there is no playlist in this game that gives you extra career rank

#

career rank is tied directly to your score in a match

#

the only thing that gets a buff is your battle pass xp

white birch
#

Play a game of BTB and see how many points you get
Then see how much your career goes up.

Trust me, BTB gives a boost. 1.8x to be exact.

#

Ex the last game I played last night I got 3000 points standard. My career XP went up by 6000

radiant sundial
#

and yet again, it doesn't matter, when firefight is much easier to get xp from, and you don't have to worry about being pubstomped by a hero rank

#

which is what you were complaining about

white birch
#

It used to be that way but now theres no boost on FF so the most effeicent way to grind is BTB.

radiant sundial
#

untrue, when you're too busy being pubstomped by a team of 6 hero ranks

#

use some common sense real quick and think this through

white birch
#

I mean, I dont get pubstomped THAT often.
Just enough to raise an eyebrow.

radiant sundial
#

then why in heavens name are you complaining?

white birch
#

Its just common enough to be annoying to commentate on.

radiant sundial
#

so what, you matched with someone better than you, boo hoo

#

its bound to happen eventually, "You win some you lose some" - some smart guy

white birch
#

Its not even that that frustrates me, its the fact they pack up.
I can handle one person stomping me. That happens.
But when its an entire crew organized specifically to pubstomp, thats the eybrow raiser.

This is not a new problem by any standard mind you and not even limited to Halo.

#

But its still annoying.
(Warzone in H5 was the same way for a long time especially during the Achillies grind)

radiant sundial
#

you assume they're doing it on purpose to make everyone elses day worse, which 9/10 times isn't going to be the case, 9/10 times people are just grouping up with their friends to have a good time and play the game

#

they aren't specifically organizing to pubstomp you, or anyone else

tulip tusk
#

i would prob lose btb all the time 😭 but legendary ff is pretty fun

radiant sundial
#

tbh it's the same for me, I don't play btb often because it's too big for my playstyle unless I have friends who I can hop in vehicles with, squad battle is a similar thing, if I want to grind however (which is the last thing I am concerned about in infinite) I will play something like firefight or quick play with slayer modes, because I know I excel in those modes and can rack up a good score quite quickly

#

I play what I'm good at, not what the "meta" demands

#

that is how I end up having fun when everyone else around me is complaining

fossil harbor
#

but I also play like 4 matches a week and usually get less than stellar players on the enemy team so its always a good time

warped yew
#

BTB fun as hell. Skill issue tbh

Don't you people play BTB for fun? CR? EXP? Really?

#

How disappointing. Really. BTB is one of the most fun element of the Halo sandbox across the entire franchise. To be reduced to just CR grind.

shadow turret
#

It kinda got that way since S4 tbh
If you weren't someone who played it consistently, it's kinda hard to get into it now, at least imo
I used to have pretty decent fun in BTB, but every time I've tried to play it now, it's either just extremely unbalanced/unfair, even within my own team I feel like sometimes, or it's a mid match join as the game is ending
I haven't had a good BTB game since early S3 I think

#

Castle Wars is the most fun I've had in anything above 4v4 or Firefight as of recent, but I'm honestly still not a huge fan of it personally tbh

fossil harbor
#

I pop a double xp for my operations, play BTB until it ends and hop off. dont care about career rank

#

life is good

#

Sometimes I wish I cared about max rank but I lost all that energy trying to get it in h5

#

also grinding xp in infinite is way duller than warzone firefight, so theres that

shadow turret
#

I just want Hero bc I've wanted both the Chief kit and Midway Emerald for ages tbh

#

Honestly I want Hero more for the armor than the bragging rights lol, I've just always loved Mark VI

onyx latch
fossil harbor
#

Not trying to min max. And infinite firefight makes me sleepy

spare tiger
#

I even exploited this during Reach

#

but also because i love grunts

#

btb is def NOT IT for career rank unless you're MintBlitz

shadow turret
#

(Before they broke the extra score boost) Heroic Gruntpoc Fiesta was easily the best for score, especially solo
Normal is still more fun tho imo

spare tiger
#

Yeah, I just wish I knew about Fiesta Gruntp ages ago, i def would have made it so i only que'd into that, my rank would have been higher by now

#

I only discovered the unlimited ammo thing recently

shadow turret
#

The unlimited ammo only got added recently in the Fiesta modes I think

#

I play mostly Normal Gruntpoc Fiesta tho for Career Rank
I get about 5.7-5.9k score on average per match in it

#

I still do have some burnout from FF bc I played so much when it first released, but I'm slowly getting back into it
I should be able to hit Hero sometime in June if I play somewhat consistently again, since I'm about halfway through Onyx rn

Hey guys.
I have a small problem and maybe you can help?
It seems the gamepad has double binds for movement. The DPAD not only selects grenades and the flashlight, but it also is bound to movement.
Is there a way to unbind that?

#

Damn. Can't sent a picture in here. I guess you know how the menu looks ^^
If i try to overwrite the dpad movement with something else(i tried "A" until of the dpad binds were deleted), but then i can't save the profile. It seems to be mandatory.

How do i fix this issue?

Lowkey, I’d like to see an enemy that would interact with other enemies in interesting ways besides shielding them or something.

#

Imagine if there was a certain enemy that could rally other lower ranking enemies into different formations. They can set up into a defensive line or send 1 squad to distract you and another to flank you

#

Killing that certain enemy will make the lower ranking enemies disperse and act normally like any other Halo game unless there is another enemy type around to take command

solemn portal
#

Well, leaders in Bungie Halo games could "rally" or force their underlings to retreat.
It's usually pretty hard to create such intricate interactions. Usually devs go for synergies (like the Engineers in ODST and Reach).

It's pretty obvious in later games. Go play a boatload of ODST Firefight and you'll see.

I wish brutes threw grunts more often, that was a cool feature that i've literally only seen once, can it even happen in firefight?

I’ve been trying to get the achievement forever

#

I’ve never gotten a brute to throw a grunt at me once

lol that ones annoying to trigger, think I got it at a random outpost

because we all know that'll be some big dck Grunt, it takes a Grunt to really motivate a few others

alright hear me out, they need to add the food nipple as a throwable item like the pheromone pods in half life 2

Is Halo 4 Reclaimer actually faster if you go ahead of the mammoth?

If you're going for the par time, the big time save is boarding the Lich with the jetpack as soon as it stops moving.

Is there no way to get rid of the DPAD Movement issue in Halo CE?
Either i only use Standard Layouts, which might conflict with other Halo games(Halo 2 and onward used DPAD), o will always move, when using PTT, selecting grenades or turn on the flashlight :/

Would be cool, if there was an option to disable DPAD movement for Halo CE.

DPAD is doublebound with movement and ... depending on the Layout with switching grenades and flashlight and so on.
So when you want to activate the flashlight, you will move forward.
If Push to talk is used you will move backward for as long as you hold the button.

There is no way to disable that for Halo CE.

#

You can check that if you start MCC and go to the Halo CE controller section. I can't post a picture here.

pretty much the entire xbox library is making a jump over to the xbox gaming app for pc, and after the terrible sales the series x/s made, I'd be super surprised if they invest in that. My guess is they're gonna scrap the r and d team for hardware and focus their assets on the pc market with an emphasis on software and games

Halo coming to Playstation is a good thing imo, games been on life support for a while and a new audience might help

I would honestly move to playstation except I've got far too many games that I've bought to leave behind and pay for again

I have one

#

I don't like playing on it since I've got a crappy wifi card and no money to replace it

#

The market has moved away from them. Nobody wants to be forced to buy a console for a specific game, that’s a bad feeling

coarse dagger
#

They're currently working on new projects, as well as Infinite updates

glacial tartan

343 doesn’t publish any roadmaps on their projects. Sit back and enjoy the ride

it's a shame infinite isn't getting played much, it's pretty good compared to the last couple games

I think so

Yes, there was a patch released right before the holidays

glacial tartan
#

What advantages exist nowadays? 😄

#

(That you are referring to for console exclusivity to be warranted)

tulip tusk
#

i feel like consoles r moreso the option for people not interested in pc and the troubleshooting. its just a box u turn it on and stuff usually works fine

#

easy to move around and stuff not much troubleshooting

fossil harbor
#

Exactly. Consoles will always exist as long as casual gamers exist. And not just casual ones, some people just want a device that does that and boots Netflix and YouTube too. Not everyone wants a PC

#

That being said, if the PlayStation does all that and has exclusives, it’s a different story

fossil harbor
#

Good reason for halo to come to ps

glacial tartan
#

Consoles are relevant 😄 The conversation is about exclusivity

crystal iron
#

Most people would complain about price but if your already paying 500 bucks for a console, you might as well save up another 100

i have nothing to contribute to console pc discussion i feel like its all been said

# frosty condor What’s wrong with it?

Iirc it got bugged when they merged all the FF lists, so Legendary and Heroic FF don't give a Career Rank boost currently (unless they did fix it)
Since both Heroic and Legendary did used to give a CR boost, similar to how BTB does

# frosty condor What’s wrong with it?

Since the recent update, the heroic and legendary firefight variant game modes don’t have their career XP multipliers. I think this is because all the firefight playlists have been moved into a single firefight tab.

#

Not a fan of that change.

tulip tusk
#

OOF

#

Yeah so I think its definitely unintentional

#

But an easy fix nonetheless, which is why I asked if they had fixed it yet

You know what Im gonna test it right now gimme a sec

I’ve been Hero Rank since April 2024

Any XP or whatever is going to any current Operation and nonetheless

Yeah they havent fixed it yet

But god I want hero rank so bad but its taking so long

#

At my current rate I'll get it in maybe July...?

But GOD I desparately wish they'd put in Double XP weekends or events like they did in MCC and Halo 5

You can earn between 5-6K points if you go out of your way to grinding points

and I got almost 20 kills the previous round.

i do totally agree with you tho. one game is good the next 5 are horrid. i dont think ill continue to play if they never figure out this matchmaking nonsense

#

what is it w the halo infinite games starting but being stuck on the map loading phase forever and people leaving bc of it. usually common in 8v8

frosty condor
#

Typically means someone didn’t load the map all the way or someone game’s crashed while loading in

olive brook
#

why did they put all the firefight difficulties in 1 playlist

sturdy kernel
#

It's way more simple than previous

causing new, less experienced players to be thrown into legendary

also its just really annoying to unselect the difficulties if you just want to play on one difficulty

Good evening everyone!
Sorry I'm new to Halo and I'm playing Infinite... and I ask you: The propaganda towers but the big red ones that look more like totems, they don't get destroyed right???

Those cannot be destroyed

#

Just the smaller ones with glowy cores

#

ops...ok thank you very much

fossil harbor
#

I get bot lobbies my first few btb matches and then get somewhat decent people after. Haven’t really dealt with bad matchmaking otherwise, I don’t really play arena as much anymore tho. I imagine it’s worse there

rough turtle
#

what is btb?

fossil harbor
#

big team battle

rough turtle
#

ah ok

civic sundial
#

Basically two large teams of players fighting one another on big maps

im lucky to get a bot lobby. i usually think btb is better to play cause its harder to have a skill based anything when it comes to more people but time and time again i get proven wrong and the game just becomes less fun

Sorry I enabled "shockwave" on the grappling hook, but how do you activate it? If I hook onto it and press the melee (body to body) button nothing happens... [forgive my English sorry]

Anything so long as you hold down the melee

Are you holding it down or just pressing it after you activate the grapple?

theres no discord vc you automatically join when in a game lol

obviously

#

people are talking in their own communities

its just weird. no communication no nothing. just awkward silence lol

the few times people have spoke its been fun!

Honestly, a lot of times I've heard ppl talk in game, its just been toxic
only once or twice has it not been

rocky oasis

no for sure

#

i dont get why people enjoy being pricks

civic sundial

People just sit in their own parties and prefer not to communicate with one another. It's just how it is these days

also so many racists. so bizzare

if they added mark v cat ears to mcc id never stop playing it

mark v is so pretty 🥺 i use it exclusively when im allowed to

civic sundial
#

Which version of Mark V is your favourite?

rocky oasis
#

isnt it all the same?

civic sundial
#

It's changed a bunch over the years, give me a second

Honestly, I've never liked the Mark V helmet personally
which I think is a bit in part to the kinda terrible build I used to have with it lol

rocky oasis
#

:c its so pretty especially in halo 4 and 3

#

i wish i could share my characters but no image perms

civic sundial

So for example, this is how Mark V looked in CE

my pic is halo 4 and banner is reach tho

rocky oasis

#

Then when it came back in Halo 3 multiplayer, it got an updated design, being this one

And then in Infinite, there's multiple versions, left one being the Reach iteration and the right being a new variant, the Mark V Zeta
