Release order goes;

1. Halo Combat Evolved
2. Halo 2
3. Halo 3
4. Halo 3 ODST
5. Halo Reach
6. Halo 4

[quick jetty]

Thanks

[quick jetty]

@civic sundial how do i enable subtitles in the game?

for CE first

[civic sundial]

It should be in settings

[glacial tartan]

Options and Career -> Settings -> Accessibility -> Subtitles

[quick jetty]

ty

[quick jetty]

No all I had to do for CE was ON in subtitles settings, not accessibility afaik

[quick jetty]

Thanks though

[glacial tartan]

My steps are how to turn the subtitles on, which is what you asked 🙂 No problem!

[celest heron]

the time when it got posted doesn't change that it was still mentioned here and that's just a staff issue of not posting it sooner when it was tweeted.

[quick jetty]

This one wasnt in accessibility iirc but somewhere else, not sure, ive also turned those in accessibility too thanks like text to speech and speech to text

[coral egret]

Anyone know what's going to be released next after blue team?

[bleak marsh]

So, when do yall think Halo CE Remaster will be announced

[civic sundial]

Next operation is called Forerunner, so I assume Forerunner themed armour

[coral egret]

Thank you!

[civic sundial]

June 6th, 2011. Combat Evolved Anniversary is the Combat Evolved remaster

[onyx latch]

Hopefully, never.

[bleak marsh]

The rumored unreal engine remaster i mean

[onyx latch]

Actually, not just never, I hope they explicitly say they won't do a remaster because people asked for it.

[civic sundial]

That wouldn't be a remaster, that'd be a remake

And I don't think we need a remake of Combat Evolved

[bleak marsh]

Ah my bad

Darn grammar mistakes

[glacial tartan]

It would be very par for the course for everyone to ask for something and they do the opposite

(This comment is both sarcastic yet true, a conundrum)

[civic sundial]

This isn't a grammatical mistake, this is people getting the words remake and remaster mixed up because of how many remakes and remasters keep happening

[onyx latch]

343 wants to do something interesting that everyone asks for
Microsoft denies it, tells them to make another sequel

Many such cases!

[glacial tartan]

This is true, circle companies hands are truly tied

[onyx latch]

I'll admit that it still chaps my salad that they got told not to make more spin-offs.

Like, what better time than when the franchise is trying to find its footing again?

[glacial tartan]

Sounds like they need to learn to make better business cases 😄 But we'll never really know whats happening behind the scenes until much later

[fathom hawk]

Haha, yes that is typical for Halo 4 even before sunset as the game would randomly disconnect for live. Players would need to restart the game a couple time just to get into the lobby... this is no different. Anyhow, its clear you don't know your history here and believe what you want. Good luck.

[civic sundial]

No, this is the servers being shut down, not me not knowing history

This just comes across as you refusing to accept the fact you're wrong about the servers being shut down

[fathom hawk]

Its ok dudue, its called confirmation bias.. you will only see the evidence that confirms you false asumptions. Anyone can easily see the Xbox live disconnection issue was common in Halo 4 before and after sunset. Restart the game and retry getting into the lobby (like we all had to do) and eventually the system will work.

[fathom hawk]

Nah, I host Halo 4 sessions all the time to help people with achivements. No mods, just know what I'm doing. Good luck.

Like i said, you are ignoring the evidence and the real world examples of people posting on TA who've sucessfully played Halo 4 even as late as last year.

[civic sundial]

What are you on about? There is no "false assumptions" or "ignoring evidence" going on here

[fathom hawk]

But it's ok you can belive what you want.

[civic sundial]

If anything, I have to ask you for your own evidence of being able to play, because you have provided none and are expecting me to take your word for it

[fathom hawk]

I'll help you out again: #halo-discussion message

[civic sundial]

What I want is you actually showing me that you're able to access Halo 4's multiplayer, not a link to a forum

Like a video or screenshots of you playing the game in 2025 on the 360 servers without any mods

[fathom hawk]

Anyhow, Halo 4s matchmaking will continue to work until the day Microsoft turns off all Xbox 360's matchmaking services. Until then, its playable for those who wish to.

[onyx latch]

They don't have any actual evidence lmao

[civic sundial]

Tell me about it

[fathom hawk]

And here's just one of many simple web searches that shows the xbox live disconnection issue was a problem that plauged Halo 4 players for over 10+ years. Restarting the game was the work around one would need to do to reset and be able to search the lobbies again. That's not unique to 2025....https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/halo-4-keep-disconnecting-xbox-live-when-looking/1c3546de-e670-4845-af0b-cfd72caf5785

[civic sundial]

I'm not asking for links to forums discussing connection issues from 12 years ago, I am asking you to actually provide proof that you can get onto Halo 4's Xbox 360 servers in 2025, which you have not done so at all

[fathom hawk]

Again, it's ok dude.. It's shows you have no experience in the topic and playing Halo 4 on 360.

[civic sundial]

So forgive me for not taking you by your word, but the lack of actual proof you've provided has made me sceptical of your claims

And it does not show me having a lack of experience, I remember playing Halo 4 back in 2012

So are you going to actually provide some actual proof that what you claim is true or are you going to belittle me for not believing you based on just words?

[fathom hawk]

DId you play in the 12 months prior to sunset, when the disconnection issues were prevalant? Did you even participate in any of the final sessions, or do any of the testing I and other did after sunset to document what still worked(and works today).

[fathom hawk]

As you are quite aware it takes a bit to reinstall the title.. patience young padwan.

[civic sundial]

You went out of your way to link me to a forum post from 12 years ago, I don't see why you would do that if you were discussing recent connection issues

[fathom hawk]

Don't worry... this is how long you have left to believe your incorrect information: Unless of course you have the ability to set aside your confirmation biases:

well doesnt seem I can post screen shots.. so I will dm it when the title is installed.

[onyx latch]

@civic sundial Since you got image perms, I'd love to see this guy's DMs to you on the subject lmao

[civic sundial]

What does that even mean? How long I have left? Is that meant to be a threat or something?

[fathom hawk]

Dont put words in my mouth. Read the whole sentence.

[civic sundial]

You constantly keep throwing at me this idea that I somehow have "confirmation bias" because I don't believe you when time and time again you have not shown any actual proof of your claims. You saying "this is how long you have left to believe your incorrect information" comes off as weird at the very least

Provide proof, that's all I asked

[fathom hawk]

Dude, it's not my evidence you are ignoring. You are also choosing to ingore the evidence of the OP of this conversation who also discovered the Halo 4 matchmaking was still possible and you immediately took the time to dispute that without first hand knowledge.. Only something 343 told you (and you misinterpreted). Thats confirmation bias.

[civic sundial]

You've not provided any evidence to what you claim

I tried investigating myself and came up with proof that goes against your claims

[fossil harbor]

🍿

[glacial tartan]

This person is very clearly a diehard H4 supporter who was wrong in some ways (H4s servers were shut off) but also was right in others (apparently some H4 matchmaking instance was left on, maybe in err) but idk why we are throwing around college debate bro language about a game 7 people care about lol

Its cringe but im bored so carry on

[fathom hawk]

Dude, I gave you a link that references an Xbox tag I created for the explicit purpose of popping H4 multiplayer achievements to prove it was till possible with time stamps after the sunset date. Can't help it if you are ignoring it, or simply dont understand the evidence you have before you.

[fossil harbor]

the dumbest arguments require the strongest passion

[signal ivy]

not in error, they had a chart

custom games/achievements still work

[fathom hawk]

"No longer supported" != "Complely non-functional"

[civic sundial]

Please tell me this person wasn't talking about custom games when they were claiming the servers were still up

Please tell me this person didn't confuse matchmaking with custom games...

[fossil harbor]

read the TA thread

[fathom hawk]

I'm in Halo 4 searching for a match in Infinity Slayer now.

Screen shot sent.

There's 6 playlists active now. Infinity Slayer, Big Team Infinity Slayer, Regicide, Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, and Team Slayer Pro

The more advance players among us who can double box and have enough controllers can even fill up a lobby ourselves and play.

[fathom hawk]

Wow,, you really are that desperate to be right huh?

[signal ivy]

yeah filling a lobby by invites is online squads

which is supported still

[fathom hawk]

Hey, I sent you the screen shot too since it's clear ADV is not going to repost and continue to deny matchmaking is not possible.

[fathom hawk]

Haha, this is not a custom game. Halo 4 supported fireteams in matchmaking, including couch co-op players. Each playlist (including the screen shots I took, show the fireteam restrictions for each playlist).

[fossil harbor]

If the servers are dead then what, is it peer to peer or something?

[signal ivy]

sounds like something 3rd party is involved

[fathom hawk]

Yeah, Halo 4 is a peer to peer once a match starts. Unlike Reach/Halo 3, there was a default playlist built into H4 that comes up when 343's servers are down.

As you can see in my screen shot, since the 343 servers are down... My spartan has no customizations, and its rank as been reset to SR1. That stuff was tracked on 343 servers.

So in essence, Xbox live is used to do the matchmaking then control of the match is passed off to one of the players consoles to host the match. Halo 5 is the first title to move matches to dedicated servers.

[fathom hawk]

nope, try again. stock halo 4 connected to xbox live using backward compatibility on an Xbox Series X.

[onyx latch]

Hmn.

[fathom hawk]

I'm also now sending the screen shot of the exact same screen ADV sent previously showing the Playlists actually being visible without the yellow "disconnected from xbox live" message. In this shot you can see the game reports the Halo 4 servers are down, and matchmaking has reverted to the default playlist. As long as you have this you can play Halo 4 multiplayer. Eventually the yellow xbox live message comes up... which of course happened all the time prior to sunset. To recover players need to dashboard and reload Halo 4 (sometimes a couple times).

[onyx latch]

Something tells me that it's just a zombie server and nothing worth being as snotty as you're being.

[fathom hawk]

It's not a zombie server. The game will start once 6 people are loaded in.

[onyx latch]

I don't care, that doesn't give you the right to be a jerk.

... Wow. "Jerk". I don't like saying something so... Simple.

[fathom hawk]

You can make whatever assessment of me you wish.. that's a you problem. I was correcting a false statment and questioned repeatedly with demands for proof. Proof is here now. Do what you wish... or come up with other justifications to keep up with the false narrative.

[onyx latch]

Something tells me you own a fedora.

And wear it unironically. But I can't place what that something is.

Have fun with whatever it is.

[fathom hawk]

Why don't you post the second screen shot I sent, instead of name calling and personal attacks? ADV has gone silent since I sent them the proof.. I don't expect any apologies.

[fathom hawk]

BTW, this chart also claims "Spartan Ops" was supported after sunset (and many of us questions 343 if thier chart was accurate regarding spartan ops since it does require 343 services to work fully). Indeed spartan OPS did work off and on for a while after sunset (seriously deprecated as loadouts didn't work, and the achivement for completing all chapters had to be done in one session)... But as of the Fall of 2024, spartan ops no longer loads in Halo 4 and is dead.

[signal ivy]

ok

[oak basin]

why do you guys talk like that

[harsh bronze]

I played spartan ops last week.

[long nacelle]

Saw an interesting Reddit post regarding what the Primordial may have told those ancient human scientists

[onyx latch]

An incredible blueberry pie recipe?

[long nacelle]

You know, the ones who proceeded to check themselves off the census after processing whatever it was the Primordial said

[long nacelle]

Lmao

The general idea of the post was that the Primordial presented them with something akin to Roko’s Basilisk

[onyx latch]

#lore-and-universe is usually a better place for these topics btw

Faster post time and more involved on the ting.

[long nacelle]

Aye, thank you

[fossil harbor]

best comment here

[onyx latch]

Real

[fathom hawk]

On Halo 4 360 or MCC?

[radiant sundial]

Bro just let the discussion die already

[harsh bronze]

MCC

[fathom hawk]

I'm not the one who responded and pinged with an offtopic reply.

[harsh bronze]

Is that why?

[wooden briar]

Move this to a #1076337363770417172 thread please.

[azure lily]

I feel like a physical shield item would be cool in game. Working similar to the detachable gun turrets putting you in 3rd person as you carry it and slowing you down, but defending yourself from one whole direction from lighter weapons like AR's, pistols, and Shotguns with kinetic ammo
Is this a good idea (✅) or should I shut my mouth (🚫)?

[harsh bronze]

So a jackal sheild?

As an equipment item?

[azure lily]

sort of, but not energy based and a bit bigger

[harsh bronze]

Riot sheild?

No

[harsh bronze]

Energy based. Forerunner sheild

[azure lily]

random peice of scrap lol

[harsh bronze]

Peice of a pelicans wing

Warthog armor plating

[azure lily]

lol

[harsh bronze]

Imagine chief just walking around with the hull of a phantom in front of him

[harsh bronze]

Yeah thats bad

Idky but it always bypassed it for me

Hear me out: Spartan Unggoy

[civic sundial]

Hardlight shield my beloved. Oh how I miss thee

[onyx latch]

I wonder if they could have made percentage drain armor abilities work.

Like, instead of number of deployments, you can engage and disengage at will.

[celest heron]

always annoyed me that I couldn't shoot their feet since they're exposed under the shield.

[civic sundial]

I imagine that's due to the hitbox being a bit larger than the actual shield itself

[civic sundial]

So like the jetpack and how it functions?

[onyx latch]

Yeah, or the hardlight shield.

[civic sundial]

Or Promethean Vision since you can also toggle that off too

[uneven bison]

Like trench said, hardlight shield, and a physical shield would probably be stupid as well because games (not just halo) never make them balanced.

I literally posted a video on my channel of my friend playing as montange in siege and stalling for nearly a full 45 seconds flat, and he won without firing a shot

It’s funny, but shields are stupid in fps more often than not

[balmy wedge]

While Halo 4 isn't one of my favorites, it's got absolutely STELLAR armor abilities over Reach. The shield, the turret, the healing thingy, it was all just absolute gold.

[civic sundial]

I recall the riot shields in COD MW2 being really good back in the day, and from what I've heard, the same is true about MW2 2022. The big thing is really they should have durability but then that has its own host of balancing to think of, like what happens when the shield breaks

[civic sundial]

I would gladly accept most of the abilities Halo 4 had being brought back within Infinite's equipment system (It helps most could easily be translated over)

[crimson shale]

My friends play halo on xbox can i join them on mcc campaign or infinite campaign on my steam deck?

[gilded nest]

can hunters get infected by the flood?

because theyre living creatures so why are there no flood variants of the hunters?

[harsh bronze]

No, the flood cant infect the hivemind that is a hunter

[crimson shale]

Cause i wanna play with my friends

[lime robin]

I believe in-game invites should still work

Worst case scenario you have to be the host

[fossil harbor]

I was there for the mw2022 turtle fest, everybody had one on their backs and it was so annoying

[tropic ruin]

the walling is unreal

[cold beacon]

time to start halo combat evolved

my dummy ahh decided to play halo 3 first but im fixing my mistakes

[leaden flare]

I've played none. I own all of them besides 5 tbh

[cold beacon]

damn

also is it just me or is halo combat evolved harder than halo 3

it feels like i went from baby mode to straight up elden ring

[harsh bronze]

Yeah it is

[left gull]

So worth it

[radiant sundial]

Yes

And thats basically exactly what you did

[cold beacon]

well now i regret my decision even more

well its not like i can reverse time, i'll just have to deal with the spike in difficulty

[celest heron]

you'll be in for a worse time with h2 in the higher difficulties.

[harsh bronze]

Dude the legendary jackal snipers are so bad

Its annoying

[civic sundial]

This post was made by the Jackal Sniper gang

[analog salmon]

still too soon 😭

[solemn portal]

It's been like 15 years.

[woeful wigeon]

"We tested different ranked matchmaking configurations because people have been complaining about how unfair it is, and we decided that it should be more unfair than it was before. Why? Because we know what we're doing, just trust me." - Tashi, basically

[left wasp]

speaking of unfair, does anyone here know if the cheaters are still an issue on mcc?

[solemn portal]

Not really.
Haven't seen any cheaters in the past 6 month.
Griefers? Yes. Betrayers? Sure.

[celest heron]

I think they mainly just bother streamers

[left wasp]

ah, cause I found a site that hosts them looking for news on the situation

I wont share the link because more might download them but I was thinking of reporting it to someone but couldn't find a good place to do it

[celest heron]

maybe https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us

[left wasp]

nah, I tried that. none of the options were for a suite of cheats, just players

[celest heron]

twitter then I guess

[left wasp]

although the flag report function might work

[celest heron]

or dm modmail the link and then they can send it to HS.

[left wasp]

thanks for the help powa

[celest heron]

ugh, just about every game so far I've had an afk or a quitter.

[glad umbra]

Just beat halo 4 again with my friend

He loved it so much, I can’t believe people don’t like that one

I’m tempted to say halo 4 comfortably slides into the halo top 5

[shadow turret]

It's in my personal top 3 (of ones I've played)
I really like 4 tbh

[glad umbra]

I like a lot of them

(Obviously) so it’s hard to say

I would say my top 5 is 3, 2, reach, odst, and 4

[sturdy kernel]

I loved every halo campaign, I don't know why people hate it
Everything is changing, even the world around us

[coarse dagger]

No, please don't do this. Modmail is for server related stuff only, we can't pass stuff directly to the studios support like that

[timid bough]

(Asking this to see if you people know) What does Master Chief fear?

[celest heron]

oh, I didn't mean like sending it to support, but just pinging sam or uny in your mod channel or whatever you use. good to know though.

[terse cave]

Evening all.

[hallow dagger]

When did they add green tracers to plasma grenades? I was playing firefight and the plasma grenades were giving off green trails when thrown

[dark hedge]

alguien para jugar halo?

It’s a visual bug. I’ve had purple trails on my frag grenades when thrown. I think it’s awesome looking

ITS THE MAIN STORY, YOU CAN EITHER PLAY THE GAMES OR BE DISOWNED

[frosty condor]

That’s one way of convincing

No one is disowning anyone

[harsh bronze]

yes

they

are

[leaden flare]

Meh. My parents told me I could be anything I wanted so I became a disappointment 😉

[balmy wedge]

My parents told me I could be anything I wanted so I became
YOU.

[pale tide]

Man just play it

It's good

[quick jetty]

Is there upcoming halo game?

And if so, which is it? Halo Cosmos?

[civic sundial]

We don't know what the next game will be called, we just know HS has multiple projects in development currently

And the last thing we want is to rush them

[quick jetty]

Do we at least know release dates?

[civic sundial]

No

[signal ivy]

what is Halo Cosmos?

[civic sundial]

I think they made up a name

[signal ivy]

sounds like some fandom garbage

[quick jetty]

"Halo: Cosmos was released on December 12th, 2025 internationally to critical acclaim. The game is rated Mature 16+ for blood, gore, violence and heavy language by the ESRB. It is rated MA 15+ in Australia and New Zealand by the OFLC."

[signal ivy]

source?

[quick jetty]

Google pops that first for me

[signal ivy]

do you have a link

[quick jetty]

https://halofanon.fandom.com/wiki/Halo:_Cosmos#:~:text=Halo%3A Cosmos was released on,New Zealand by the OFLC.

[signal ivy]

lol

[onyx latch]

Fanon is fan canon. It's not real.

[quick jetty]

Probably fanmade

[onyx latch]

Use Halopedia.

[quick jetty]

No i get that, but google pops it up in the quick overview

[uneven bison]

Google isn’t a source

[signal ivy]

what did you search to get that to come up

[quick jetty]

So i got confused for first

[onyx latch]

Maybe don't trust google exclusively.

[quick jetty]

"Halo new game 2025"

[onyx latch]

Just a thought.

[quick jetty]

But what would we expect in terms of dates? Last game was 2021 right

Its been 4 years for a new one, but when usually does a new one release?

[radiant sundial]

it's not real lol, if it is then it's just a small fan-made game

[radiant sundial]

they said 10 years would be how long infinite was planned to go for, so if they stick to that I assume at the very least 10 years from now

[quick jetty]

Isnt infinite sort of dead by now kinda

So im assuming theyd start on a new game but fair enough

So 2031 for a new game

Got it lmao

[radiant sundial]

not really, don't listen to the loud people who only shout "Halo is dead 343 killed it!", they're just pessimists who are mad bungie isn't still in control of halo

[quick jetty]

343 storytelling is weird isnt it tho

[radiant sundial]

I don't find it weird, but tbf I did start with halo 4 so idk

I'm ever so slightly biased to 343 games

[quick jetty]

Ok but 2031 for a new game?

[timid bough]

yes

[quick jetty]

That's crazy

[timid bough]

Halo Infinite will continue updating

to keep it as the current generation Halo game

[radiant sundial]

its not guaranteed, that's just my personal opinion as when teh earliest a new game could be expected

[quick jetty]

10 years is crazy though

[celest heron]

they likely mean supporting infinite and continuing it with a new game during that timeframe. I highly doubt they'll wait ten years to release the next game.

[quick jetty]

How long did it usually last on average between each releases by now?

We could use that as a pattern, 4-5 years have passed by now.

[celest heron]

it's usually 4-5 years based on their previous releases.

[quick jetty]

So this year or next year is also a viable bet for a new game?

[celest heron]

I'd say 2027 if I had to guess. they also had their campaign team get laid off so that probly delayed things by a lot.

[quick jetty]

I see, thanks

So long as it isnt just another remake

[fossil harbor]

Please god no CE remake please no CE remake

[uneven bison]

Whatever the next game is, it’s likely we’ll have a great many new and old problems with it

Always gotta be doing something to mess it up

[civic sundial]

Good thing Halo hasn't had any remakes, only remasters in the form of CEA and H2A, both of which are in MCC

[hallow pasture]

A halo ce remakeboot would be dope

Adding cut content and more modern mechanics (and New levels and enemies)

[keen silo]

They should very specifically remake CE but the only change should be the addition of Sprint

[hallow pasture]

That would be boring.

Go nuts with the remake

Because the OG is right there

[grave ether]

You really want to start a whole war in the fanbase don't you?

[fossil harbor]

no armor lock?

also increase the bloom on the magnum by 200%

[keen silo]

You make a good point.
Sprint and Armor Lock only in the reboot. Plus Chief has a twin now that goes rouge and joins the flood

[civic sundial]

We definitely don't need a reboot for Halo

[radiant sundial]

Ooo, also make the fuel rod cannon pick-upable, but it explodes when you do

[fossil harbor]

also remove the sniper from T&R because F you

[radiant sundial]

Not before. But exactly 5 seconds afteryou pick it up.

[keen silo]

The levels in the CE remake need to reference Halo Reach at every given moment. People love Halo Reach so much, obviously we have to keep reminding them of how good Halo Reach was

[fossil harbor]

(but put it back in the library)

[civic sundial]

Noble Six's helmet shows up in every level for no reason

[onyx latch]

Wow! Reach! Wow! WOw! WoW! Wow! WOW!

[keen silo]

I’ll do you one better. Instead of playing as the Master Chief, you’re actually Noble Six themselves. They just stole a MKV suit from a secret ONI facility deep in a cave

[onyx latch]

It's actually a roguelike where you respawn as Noble Six constantly and the levels are remade each time you die

[civic sundial]

Eventually it just all ends up bleeding into just being a Halo Reach clone

[uneven bison]

Noble six in hell

[onyx latch]

NOBEL SAX

DIED PLAYING THE SAXOPHONE

[fossil harbor]

erm, thats ROOKIES thing???/

[civic sundial]

Everyone is Noble Six now

Carter? Kat? No more, all is Noble Six

[keen silo]

That’s what ONI doesn’t want you to know. Noble six quit the spartan program and joined the ODSTs

[fossil harbor]

flawless lore

[onyx latch]

The top secret Trenchbird lore is that Reach never happened, and it was actually an off-world tax haven.

[keen silo]

We’ve done it gang. We made the ultimate Halo remake. It’s got

• Noble Six
• Armor lock and Sprint
• Weapons that blow up as you use them
• Removed the ugly green guy and added MORE Noble Six
• Kept everything else the same

[fossil harbor]

idk the levels could be longer

[onyx latch]

I remember when Halo 5 was coming out and people thought that Locke would be Noble Six coming back from the dead

Because clearly dark armor=Noble Six

[fossil harbor]

I remember seeing the trailers for halo 5 and not having a damn clue what was going on

[keen silo]

Only if the levels are lengthened by the player have to play the level one more time, but this time you die in a long firefight like scenario near a radio tower

[civic sundial]

I hate how I remember that

[fossil harbor]

copy paste halo a couple times and sprinkle some outposts in there, and maybe a couple radio towers to climb

[keen silo]

We’ve saved Halo! Yay!

[onyx latch]

I still remember all the rumors pretty decently lmao. There were some crazy ones.

[silver plaza]

Wow, this is horrifying

[hallow pasture]

Its not a proper Reboot

Its more of a remake that really changes the OG.

And then i Think that they will realisticaly make halo 7

[signal ivy]

https://tenor.com/wuwy.gif

[river minnow]

[silver plaza]

Hi Aegis

[signal ivy]

HI HQ!!

[frosty condor]

A rare HQ appears!

[quick jetty]

Well let's see if a new Halo game is coming this or next year

4-5 years between each is fine

[nimble dune]

k

[glacial tartan]

Makes sense, you need 4 years to make the game, then an additional year to make the new game after throwing the last 4 years away completely. Repeat!

[hollow jackal]

So has mods fixed from anticheat update

I deleted origal question cus yhough it hapoed begining this year and it fixed XD

[civic sundial]

The modders themselves have to fix it whenever mods are broken by a new MCC update, this has been the case with every update

[hollow jackal]

I see

[flat bison]

Nope

[hallow pasture]

The battle rifle and the dmr are the best UNSC weapons (not counting power weapons of course)

[radiant sundial]

MA40 says nah I'd win (I just love full auto and .308 win)

[cunning oyster]

We made the ultimate Halo for you guys. Now for the first time in 20 years you can now modify Halos guns in the franchises first ever gunsmith!

[civic sundial]

I know you're likely saying that because you want to meme on people, but unironically, for PvE modes like Firefight and Campaign, I'd be down for weapon attachments in Halo

Like, let me go in with silenced weapons against the Banished

[celest heron]

we kinda had that with warzone.

[civic sundial]

Aye but it was pretty limited in how you add the different attachments to the weapons, since you needed to have the card for the Longshot BR with the bayonet to use that specific combination on the BR

And I don't think Halo needs a system where you completely customise every aspect of the weapon, just something akin to the older COD games where you can choose a barrel attachment, scope/sight and underbarrel attachments (If you so choose)

[uneven bison]

Sure it’d be cool but the joke is that it’d be painted as a huge leap forward for halo when in reality it’s barely a feature worth noting in most games

[civic sundial]

Fair point

[crystal iron]

@radiant sundial but it says its vaulted for the echo nine helm

[timid bough]

why does it say that nearly everything in the MCC is a DLC that is paid for

[civic sundial]

Because with how MCC works on PC, it treats every game within it as DLC

[radiant sundial]

well idk then

[harsh bronze]

I want to see the progress @HaloStudios

[shadow turret]

It'll be back most likely next update
it was part of the Frontlines pass which is no longer purchasable due to them changing the pass system

[crystal iron]

it looks so clean i love the odst helms

[worldly cloud]

Hi so I'm revisiting halo for the first time in like 10 years, and I started off with reach, and am now playing CE but I'm a but stuck, so I've made my way to the two betrayals mission and I need to destroy pulse generator #3 but I don't know how to get up there I was forced to leave my banshee behind on the other side of the canyon and they're aren't any other banshees left?

[solemn portal]

Move forward until you reach the end of the canyon. There should be a couple of Wraiths on the way guarding Banshees.

[timid bough]

But why do you have to buy the DLC

[fossil harbor]

To play the individual halo games?

[timid bough]

maybe

[glacial tartan]

MCC is the launcher. The individual games are standalone.

[timid bough]

so I need to pay 40$ AND 55$ for all the games?

or am I dumb

[glacial tartan]

Thats not correct. If you buy the bundle on Steam it includes MCC the launcher (free) and all of the DLC ($$$)

It goes on sale pretty often for $10; that just ended, so now its back to the normal price of $40

[timid bough]

oh so if I buy only the game I will need to buy the DLC as well but if I get the bundle (often a better option with DLCs) I will get all of the DLC and the launcher

[timid bough]

what was the last sale prior to the latest one

[glacial tartan]

13th to 19th MAR

20thJAN to 2nd FEB before that

https://i.imgur.com/x9MMypw.png

[timid bough]

20th Jan to 2nd Feb is like 2 weeks

[glacial tartan]

yes

[timid bough]

ok I’ll be honest

Halo Infinite. Is good

[amber island]

Favorite in the series ngl.

[timid bough]

I should get the Halo MCC bundle

[timid bough]

yeah

[civic sundial]

Yes because MCC has some great games to play

[amber island]

Haven't noticed any of that

I just play and enjoy myself. Like any other game.

[brave pier]

I still play MCC to this day and I always will

[timid bough]

Pointless

No need for that, as such differences have no need to be changed because they’re so small

[amber island]

I only play mcc with the troops mod

[timid bough]

While usually small things added up together become big, that is not this case

What is big though is the price of the Infinite campaign

[brave pier]

Can someone explain who were the endless

[civic sundial]

Some of y'all really don't care for the sense of mystery

But like, the Endless are basically a species which survived Halo's fire through unknown means, which meant that the plans the Forerunners had for humanity were threatened

By the way, no clue what you mean by the Warthog being "like a cube sliding across the floor". Looks like a car in the shape of a warthog or a puma to me and the animation on the wheels looks fine. If it was an issue, I would know, I used to know a professional animator and I got some of their love for finding fine details in animation via osmosis

[radiant sundial]

The sense of mystery only works when the mystery can be solved, imo otherwise its just a plot hole

[civic sundial]

Ignoring the context we got from all the media which came after, would you consider Chief not learning about who the Forerunners were exactly a plot hole of Combat Evolved?

[timid bough]

Is Chief scared of the Flood

[civic sundial]

Because unless Halo 7 or whatever it's called doesn't follow up on the events of Infinite, I hasitate claiming it's a plothole in Infinite that we didn't learn much about the Endless

[radiant sundial]

Depends on whether or not we know that the story is going to be continued

[civic sundial]

Are you a professional animator?

[timid bough]

What ADV Eon said

[civic sundial]

See, I never pulled that card

I said I knew one and learnt some stuff from them, not that I was one

And if I don't see an issue with the Warthog animations, and they didn't either when they saw them one time, I don't think there's anything wrong with the animations

There's also a real world optical illusion which can affect how wheels look while in motion, I imagine what you're seeing is likely a recreation of that illusion

[radiant sundial]

Buddy if the warthog had no grip you wouldn't stop moving until you hit a wall

[civic sundial]

You also control when the Warthog moves too

[sullen owl]

I believe Luke's problem with Infinite's Warthog is BKAC.

[radiant sundial]

Also that usually happens when you floor the gas pedal like literally everyone in this game does

Buddy the warthog isn't made to go slow 💀

[civic sundial]

And Halo isn't trying to recreate real-world physics for its vehicles

[radiant sundial]

The animations would be designed with its max speed in mind, not its minimum speed

If you want a realistic warthog go play forza, they have one in one of the iterations

Buddy, you are the only one making a fuss about something that all of 2 people looked at

[civic sundial]

It should be noted there is a thing known as blend spaces which allow for different animations to blend together to allow for a more seamless transition, such as an in-between for slow walk and normal walk speeds for the player character. I imagine this is also true with the Warthog but it's not as important for the speed of the vehicle so much as it is important for the positioning of the wheels for when it turns or is on uneven terrain

[radiant sundial]

The explosions are actually kinda accurate to how grenades go off irl anyways

[civic sundial]

All video game explosions are made up of multiple 2D planes anyway

[radiant sundial]

Theres no big fireball when a frag grenade goes off, just a puff of smoke and lead

[civic sundial]

You should've specified you were talking about vehicle explosions

Also, just checked with a Warthog via the training mode, the explosion looks fine

[sullen owl]

My favorite Infinite explosion is from Phantoms in campaign mode.

[sullen owl]

Looks fine to you, not to a man with such refined taste such as Luke.

[civic sundial]

If anything, it feels a little more exaggerated than what would happen in real life if I blew up a car. But that's likely the case because it's a video game and it isn't one striving to be ultra realistic in its depiction of everything

[sullen owl]

Honestly though, I do want hollywood explosions in my military space opera.

[civic sundial]

Aye

[sullen owl]

Big badda boom is what I live for.

[radiant sundial]

The only baffling thing is that you havent caught the hint that we don't care 💀

[radiant sundial]

Understandable

That doesn't even have an explosion...

It just pops out of existing with a red flare

[crystal iron]

Well, that’s rude.

[civic sundial]

I like how you just assumed my thoughts on the Phantom explosion without actually wondering if maybe, just maybe, I actually don't like how it looks in Infinite

The Warthog explosion does look fine, I viewed it seconds before I typed out my thoughts on it. That doesn't also mean I think the same for literally every explosion within Infinite

[radiant sundial]

Has bro seen a car explode.....

One that specifically works the way the warthog does

[crystal iron]

I do like it when you skewer them into an explosion, satisfying.

[civic sundial]

To be fair, the Skewer is just satifying to kill with regardless (Do wish it sent any players or NPCs it hits flying or pinned them into walls though)

[crystal iron]

That one clip of a marine obliterating a “friendly grunt” with a Skewer has ruined me forever. Not everything, but most things.

[radiant sundial]

Buddy 🤣, the warthog explosion looks exactly like it should lmao, also that attempt to turn that on me was sad

[crystal iron]

What is this conversation even about?

What is your belief in this discussion, if you will restate it.

[proven breach]

as a really new player of halo, should i start off in legendary difficulty?

[civic sundial]

Most of us are fine with most explosions in Halo Infinite, Luke is complaining about them because they're not realistic

[civic sundial]

No, start with normal so you can get a feel for how the games play

[proven breach]

oh okay

[amber island]

I like how the plasma in infinite looks like liquid kinda

[crystal iron]

I’m honestly fine with the vehicle explosion mechanics. It’s satisfying at the very least.

[civic sundial]

They're talking about the explosions themselves, not the mechanics behind how they work

[radiant sundial]

again, have you actually seen a car explode?

[crystal iron]

Ah, I stand corrected. I have no grievances with those either.

[civic sundial]

Fair

[amber island]

Needler Rifle is cool I wish they brought it back instead of bootleg plasma battle rifle.

[radiant sundial]

bro just moved the goalpost by lightyears 😭

[civic sundial]

I have noticed something with the FRS's explosion, looks like the particle effects within the explosion are at a slightly lower framrate compared to other explosions. Could be a weird side effect of quick resume though

[crystal iron]

I thought 343 brought it back for 4 & 5, so I am curious as to why they didn’t in Infinite. Maybe it’s just that they wanted to explore the Banished toolkit above all else.

[civic sundial]

Needle Rifle was only in Reach

[radiant sundial]

you literally are lmao, I asked you if you had ever seen a car explode and you tried to clap back with "realisim" yap

[civic sundial]

The closest the Needle Rifle got to coming back was Blood of Suban in Halo 5

[amber island]

Honestly, idk why the burst plasma rifle doesn't shoot red plasma

Hell all the plasma weapons should be red. Because banished.

[crystal iron]

Also, double wielding is a must

[civic sundial]

Because it's not a Banished made weapon. It's made by Elites. Same with the Plasma Pistol

The Stalker Rifle in Infinite is a Banished variant of a Covenant weapon as well

[amber island]

I do like the brute revolver gun

Very fun to use if I don't have my bandit

[radiant sundial]

are you okay? you heard that and tried to come back with have I ever seen alien guns in real life 💀

[civic sundial]

Plus like, it'd be boring to have all the plasma weapons firing in the exact same colour

[crystal iron]

Personally, I’d take the particle rifle over it any day. I’m quite sure it’s more powerful.

[amber island]

What happened to the katana skins for the energy sword

[crystal iron]

Obliterated by 343, probably

[civic sundial]

Well the Stalker Rifle was meant to be more of an inbetween of a Beam Rifle and a Carbine in terms of where it sits within the sandbox. But sadly neither of those weapons are in Infinite

[civic sundial]

I don't think that was ever a thing for Infinite

[radiant sundial]

there were none and it doesn't make sense for it to be considering how the weapons were shaped

[amber island]

I remember seeing a leak of it a long time ago

[crystal iron]

I honestly think a major weapons update wouldn’t be too out-of-hand, and in fact the right think to do after the whole Fuel-Rod Spnkr blowout.

[radiant sundial]

overlaying a katana skin onto an energy sword would look terribly wrong

[amber island]

It was just an energy sword with one long curved blade

[radiant sundial]

1. no leaks are allowed to be discussed, 2. idk if I've ever heard of that

[amber island]

Looked so weird

[crystal iron]

But are we sure these are even actual leaks?

[amber island]

They could have just been mockups idk

[crystal iron]

Bamboozle your enemy with a sword like no other, I say

[amber island]

Leave it to humanity to ruin alien culture

[crystal iron]

✅

[civic sundial]

The FRS exists because they don't have a team which would allow them to properly bring in completely new weapons to Infinite. Like, there's a reason both the MA5K Avenger and the FRS share animations with weapons already in the game. My bet is the animators they have at HS are working on new projects

[amber island]

Ngl I kinda miss warzone.

That was fun for a while. I remember being happy that I could fight enemy Marines

[crystal iron]

I hope something substantial (and good, if you know what I mean) comes out for Infinite. Additional DLC… I know it’s nigh-impossible, but one can dream.

[amber island]

I do like how they turned planned weapons cosmetics into new weapons.

[crystal iron]

Fair

[amber island]

Now make cross core chests

[radiant sundial]

ngl I just hope they add atleast one more vehicle and gun, I don't think infinite really needs anything besides crosscore and a tad bit more weapon variety

[civic sundial]

They're still supporting Infinite with operations and additional gamemodes, and if the past few times is to be believed, we can expect some kind of weapon to be added every three months

[civic sundial]

I imagine the time for that is passed now, as much as I'd like it to happen

[amber island]

I'm just trying to get hero rank, I'm halfway there.

[civic sundial]

Like, my ideal Halo Infinite update would be bringing in a bunch of weapons from Halo 5

[amber island]

Storm rifle pls

[civic sundial]

And I'd break it down into three smaller updates, UNSC, Covenant and Forerunner weapons

[civic sundial]

I need that and the Plasma Rifle back ASAP

[amber island]

Also. They should let us transfer our infinite armor to the next game if possible

Especially the purchases

[civic sundial]

Well HS already confirmed they have multiple projects in development and the team working on Infinite is not a full Dev Team

[amber island]

They should also keep The Chief's current design. There's no improving on that.

It's actually perfect

[civic sundial]

They still do fix bugs in Infinite, they're just not gonna be doing anything as big as seasons anymore

[amber island]

We should have gotten the jazwares designs for blue team instead of what 343 gave us in the store.

[crystal iron]

That’s the truth of it, sadly

[crystal iron]

I concur. It’s lovely.

[civic sundial]

If Chief's campaign armour wasn't a kit, I imagine they'd have been armour pieces for a Mark VI [Gen 3] core

But also, I don't mind the Blue Team armour in Infinite

[crystal iron]

It’s always funny to see a Master Chief occasionally running around in multiplayer. “Master Chief, mind telling me what you’re doing in castle wars?”

[amber island]

I like how Chief's armor is an actual reward too. Shows your skill.

[civic sundial]

Even better now we can have multiple people running around as different iterations of Chief

Less skil and more time dedication

[amber island]

Can't wait to put my coating on that armor once I rank up.

[civic sundial]

I need to make it yellow

[amber island]

Wish they let us at least change the helmet

I need operator on that armor

[amber island]

I'd say like 100.

[timid bough]

Oh

[cunning oyster]

It’s kinda funny how I always looked at my crosshair rather than my enemies when I was shooting them. Now that I focus on my enemies rather than the crosshair I’m now dominating in Halo competitive.

[celest heron]

I only do that if I'm doing certain no scopes.

[shadow turret]

ngl I lose my crosshair a lot

[shrewd finch]

Just remember it's in the center of your screen

[radiant sundial]

how?

[shadow turret]

white on white usually
it happens moreso with the sniper bc its basically just a dot

[fossil harbor]

Be cool if you could change your reticle color like other games

And opacity

[olive brook]

im pretty sure you can do this

[shrewd finch]

You can change HUD opacity, which also changes things like your shield and radar

[radiant sundial]

Reticle opacity is a seperate option that exists as well

[analog salmon]

Increase the outline thickness

I have it maxed out at 1440p

Its effected by resolution so 1080p the default settings are fine but higher resolutions you may wanna increase the outline thickness

[hushed estuary]

I never had played a Halo game in my life until my friend who is a super fan of Halo got me to play them. I played and finished one and two and just finished three like a minute ago and it might just be my most favorite game of all time. It brought a tear to my eye at the end.

[cunning oyster]

Had the wildest dream last night lol. For the next Halo they let us play as any of the humanoid covenants races in multiplayer. Yes even the grunts.

[grave ether]

Grunt game mode would be fun

[cunning oyster]

I think it’d be funny to just add armor cores of different banished species lol.

[sturdy kernel]

Hoping for returning mark 6 Gen 2 in next Halo

[glacial tartan]

Event Viewer. But MCC constantly crashes on login, authentication issues. Does the same thing if you change profiles.

Usually a relaunch fixes it. If you try again same thing?

Should post this in #1075989764026675210 but open your credential manager, delete everything that has "Xbl" in it, and then try MCC again 🙂

[glacial tartan]

Yeah theres a script to do it, other thing is delete webcache for MCC 🙂 https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037206872-How-to-Fix-the-Xbox-Network-Sign-Out-Loop-with-Halo-The-Master-Chief-Collection-on-Steam written here

[twilit kite]

Hey everyone. Where can I request team doubles playlist for halo 3 stays active for longer than the hardcore doubles? I always find a match for team doubles, never for hardcore doubles. And it seems hardcore doubles playlist is active for way longer

[glacial tartan]

Not sure what you mean but your information is backwards; H3 Hardcore doubles finds games much faster than Radar. Also in general they are relatively even in terms of availability.

Every 6 or 7 months Radar only sits around for 1 week, but thats pretty rare.

[coarse dagger]

Try restarting your game

[wintry turret]

Hey guys, does anyone know if blue team battle pass will be deleted after the event ends? (for those who didn't buy it)

[twilit kite]

You sure? I feel like I’m just sitting and waiting to find a match for H3 hardcore doubles

[glacial tartan]

Im positive. Radar doubles has team matching, meaning if you are solo you cannot match a duo.

More restrictions = slower matchmaking, a lot of the same people play both lists.

Also Halo Studios if you ever read this please change that for Radar. Its arbitrary and its the only doubles playlist with team matching like why

[coarse dagger]

Yes. Once a pass ends, you can no longer purchase it. The items will become available again in a few weeks time though.

The free track items will be available in the exchange and the paid track items will go to the store.

[balmy wedge]

The one item, aye? This operation is pretty different than the last.

[rugged quartz]

In halo infinite the forge water does not have physics, and there's two different forge waters, static and dynamic. dynamic can react to objects but sometimes it doesn't in forge but it works in customs.

[coarse hawk]

Hey guys, sorry if this is unrelated but, I'm having issues with the MCC, I'm trying to play with mods and I realized that when starting the game with no anticheat it stutters like crazy. Launching it normally works perfectly. It's weird because if anything, it should be the other way around lmao. Any ideas?

[inland minnow]

you'll have better luck asking in #1075989764026675210

[coarse hawk]

Thanks!

[grizzled lion]

any tips on finding a social game on MCC (pc gamepass) searching for any mode any series

[glacial tartan]

Pass leader to someone on the steam version or on an xbox

Not sure of a fix for the msoft store version. No response from Halo Studios on it.

Not sure they've even acknowledged its an issue 😦

[grizzled lion]

got it thankyou, i think ill just buy it on steam eventually

[glacial tartan]

Thats what I recommend; it will go on sale for $10 again soon enough

Sorry I know its annoying

[civic sundial]

You can also really easily mod it on Steam as well

[glacial tartan]

Yeah the only reason I would see anyone doing msoft store over steam is if they get it via gamepass and are heavily involved w/ that pass. But the value at $10 is undeniable, worth every penny I'd buy it again 😄

[civic sundial]

Fair

[civic sundial]

They do have proper textures in Forge, people just keep making things look plastic

Like, you can change the metallic and roughness of a material as well as what kind of material, ranging from human metals to Banished rubbers to Forerunner materials

[civic sundial]

Have you changed the metallic and roughness of those textures?

It already is

[onyx latch]

Oh. Wow. One example. Eon's entire argument has been ruined. Please ignore the others.

One example isn't the rule.

[civic sundial]

Do you not see the picture Trench literally posted?

[onyx latch]

I mean if you aren't saying it, you should stop presenting it like it proves your argument lmao

[civic sundial]

It shows that dev quality maps can be achieved

Right but that doesn't change the fact that Infinite's Forge allows you to make maps on par with with dev maps

Also that Foundry remake just needs another art pass and it'll look better. But even then, it looks fine as a cleaner version of the original

Dev tools are better than Forge, but that doesn't mean you can't make dev quality maps in Forge

And 343 quite literally had dev tools when making the dev maps for Infinite

[tame vault]

Spartan Ops Legendary COOP is finally done.

[civic sundial]

Now do it solo

[tame vault]

I have already done it twice on this gamertag, once on Halo 4 original and once on MCC. I have also done it twice on another gamertag.

[civic sundial]

Fair

[tulip tusk]

from my eye the largest difference between forge and dev are the biome textures, most plants, and water. they jump out and are noticeable in a meh look way. sometimes snow biomes tend to blend better and not look as blurry. and forge water is pretty bad too. can add visual trick to appear decent from certain angles, like for a picture, but the illusion fails when playing. not sure why. i guess bc water is only a simple pane in forge. some nice water tool would be awesome in next game.

[tame vault]

I did also get every Red vs Blue eastern egg while at it.

[civic sundial]

Well a fun little trick which most people don't realise is that most of the time, you are going to be walking by the same two trees and rocks over and over. This is true for dev made environments as well as Forge maps. It's just easier to reuse the same models over and over

[tulip tusk]

yea indeed

[civic sundial]

I think the only completely unique rock within Infinite's campaign is the Craige rock next to one of the FOBs

It's not so much a single tool being used, it's multiple different programs, such as Maya for 3D modelling and creating UV maps (Or Blender), Substance Painter for creating the textures for the materials, and whatever the inhouse tools were for working with Slipspace (Which are likely not gonna be used in the future given the move to Unreal Engine)

[strange jewel]

Is the didact actually alive?

[frosty condor]

👍🏻

[signal ivy]

hmm

[long nacelle]

Do people still play Halo 5 multiplayer?

That one version of Jenga from Halo 5 is literally my favourite. To be honest, it’s all I ever played on multiplayer

[fossil harbor]

jenga with the phaetons was so fire

[real forum]

👳‍♂️

[abstract isle]

well ,y halo infinite on steam refuses to boot me in the menu all it says is platform but its cut off i have repaired the files and reintalled the game and it refuses to fix its self

[glass goblet]

Dude halo 2 multiplayer is brutal

[frosty condor]

What’s brutal about it?

[frosty condor]

Try looking in #1075989764026675210 . If nothing, you can create a post and someone may help ya!

[deft vine]

Bro how tf at diamond 6 can’t find a single game for almost 20 minutes

[frosty condor]

You’re searching at a low-populated time

[autumn mason]

such are the dire times when we cannot find enough people

[radiant sundial]

High rank (smaller pool of players to match with) + time when few people are on to play ranked =longer wait time

[ruby lake]

i still remember the time when someone told me i should go back to playing infinite because of a 20$+ armor kit is in the shop

peak consumerism right there

[analog salmon]

im lucky i just like standard looking spartans and legacy stuff

and even then im not really tempted by the multiple iterations of Chief's armour

does kinda suck if you like building very unique looking Spartans, it's expensive

[jovial knot]

Running custom games on Reach if anyone wants to join

OG game modes such as speed, frogger, Michael Myers, Trash Compactor, Forklift Sumo, Jenga, Cat N Mouse, etc.

same

i just play to get the free stuff now

[brittle hollow]

Hi guys, is it possible to use active camo in campaign mode?

I've played through the entire thing but not once have I seen it

[frosty condor]

You’ll have to upgrade the thrusters that give you camo for a brief period

Otherwise I don’t think there is camo on the Halo ring

[deep valve]

ok why did my mission progress get reset THIS TIME

[civic sundial]

Which mission were you on?

[brittle hollow]

Btw are the marines gods or what ? I cant seem to kill them lol

[civic sundial]

The marines in Infinite are not gods

The game just doesn't allow you to kill friendlies in the campaign

[uneven pendant]

hi

[frosty condor]

[deep valve]

why do mission progress reset randomly?

I'm too scared to leave in the middle of a mission cuz it might reset my entire progress

[sturdy kernel]

Which one mission?
And which Halo?

[civic sundial]

Which mission are you on?

[deep valve]

OH MY GOD IT RESET AGAIN

halo 4 infinity

[civic sundial]

Are you swapping between console and PC?

Or do you have the Iron Skull on?

[sturdy kernel]

Yeah possibly, if resetting

[deep valve]

no same platform, pc steam, no skulls on

standard legendary playlist on halo 4

it's fine until I quit the game

I've tried save and quitting and then resuming and it's fine but when I quit the game and resume the progress is ogne

[civic sundial]

I'll have to test something, give me about half an hour to be free to do so

Because I have a suspicion it could be to do with the playlists themselves, but I wanna test on my own end to see if it is

[civic sundial]

Worked fine for me

[deep valve]

huh

it resets the mission every time I restart the game twice

it works when you join the game the next time but when you quit and restart for the second time, it gets reset

[radiant sundial]

Did u make sure to hit save?

[deep valve]

yes? there's only one option and it's save and quit

it only saves once for some reason and my steam cloud isn't even full

I'm just gonna not use a playlist and try with normal mission select

[crystal mortar]

Halo infinite is getting stuck on the title screen what do i do

[olive brook]

whenever i play a playlist its really inconsistent

sometimes it’ll save just fine other times it resets my progress

[hybrid copper]

Does anyone have news w/r to a new Halo game? Expect the ones that is common. (UE and so on)

[civic sundial]

We've not got news yet, HS will share when they're ready to

[hushed salmon]

Would an average Grunt beat up a human in a fist fight?

It seems like they would. They are incredibly heavy for their height

[glacial tartan]

Compared to a human they are massive so id say the grunt by a long shot

[hushed salmon]

Ugh. I like Halo but that is so disheartening

Like the lowest of the low of what the Covenant has to offer is overall physically superior to humans

[hushed salmon]

Thank you for the response. Was wondering that

[glacial tartan]

https://imgur.com/gallery/halo-discovery-outpost-covie-scale-chart-Df9ve7A

[hushed salmon]

Seeing a visual comparison is very lovely as well. It’s a miracle how humans even lasted against the Covenant attack

[frosty condor]

That’s why John Halo is the hero we needed

[deep valve]

if I completed missions in a playlist on legendary then complete the rest in mission select, do I still get the achievement?

[solemn portal]

It should work fine, since playlist completion counts as mission completion.

[deep valve]

alright I'll do mission select instead since playlists are kinda broken when saving. really scared about my halo CE LASO run tho.. it might not save properly as well

[celest heron]

they're slow and if we damaged their mask we would have a big advantage.

[solemn portal]

Grunts have the physical strength of an angry chimpanzee (or was it an other primate?, it's been a long while), under old Bungie lore.
So yeah, they definitely could beat up a regular human.

[radiant sundial]

I mean, it's very clearly stated in the spartan field manual that they can very easily rip off your arm if annoyed enough

(Also something to keep in mind is they're about the height of a normal person, so don't expect to be towering over them like a spartan)

[autumn forum]

Finally unlocked More Than He Bargained For

best part is that i didn't even need the secret Tank gun anyway

[frosty condor]

Niceu

[autumn forum]

Normal diff, should I retry in Legendary?

[deep valve]

the catch skull actually makes promethean knights easier to fight in halo 4

[deep valve]

I mean depends how strong master chief is compared to an average human. but I think the grunts would lose without using grenades or plasma pistol.

the most intense moments is definitely when a grunt rushes you with dual plasma grenades

[deep valve]

are we considering a regular civilian in a city like new mombasa as a regular human or a UNSC trained marine as regular human?

[grave ether]

yes

[radiant sundial]

oh no, a grunt would absolutely murder any human who isn't a spartan, trained soldier or not

[deep valve]

wasn't there like a marine or something who killed an elite in halo wars in hand-to-hand? or was he a spartan?

[civic sundial]

Forge was not a Spartan

And the Elite he killed was getting too cocky for his own good

[radiant sundial]

he got VERY, VERY, VERRYYYYY lucky

[civic sundial]

Had Ripa not decided to gloat about winning, he'd have actually won that fight

[grave ether]

Forge should be a Spartan

[radiant sundial]

also had help iirc, bc he was getting his butt kicked

he probably would've been if he hadn't died on the shield world and had made it back to UNSC controlled space in time for the S-IV program

[grave ether]

Weren't there a handful of Spartans with him during that fight?

[radiant sundial]

the 3 composing red team

[grave ether]

I thought I remembered it like that

[deep valve]

ehh he might have a slim chance at fighting a grunt with his fists

[radiant sundial]

he was mostly in the 1v1 but they stepped in to help I belive

[radiant sundial]

no, no he wouldn't have

just about every species in the covenant short of jackals, prophets, and enginners, are capable of dismembering a human without trying very hard

[grave ether]

Grunts only seem small and weak because we play as Chief. They are not small and they are not weak

[sturdy kernel]

Grunt rebellion

[radiant sundial]

a 5 foot tall stocky crab boi only seems small and tiny when you're a 7'2" super soldier who can flip tanks with a flick of his wrist and throw coils that are easily 50lbs a few hundred feet

[civic sundial]

A good comparison between a normal human and a Grunt is in Halo 5 with the Grunt wandering Arbiter's camp, you can sometimes see him walk up to Halsey

[deep valve]

yet palmer thought he'd be taller

[deep valve]

they're still pretty small in halo 3 ODST and reach

[radiant sundial]

facepalm

[civic sundial]

That line was Palmer making a joke. She wasn't seriously upset Chief wasn't taller

[deep valve]

bro I know lmao

[radiant sundial]

you're still playing as a spartan in reach, and ODST is it's own special thing because I'm pretty sure the models for the ODST's were still spartan sized

[civic sundial]

I can actually double check that, give me a few

[deep valve]

makes no sense how all the ODST members in buck's group can single-handedly take down multiple hunters

[civic sundial]

Because I know that while the Reach Spartans are a tiny bit shorter than Halo 3 Spartans, they're still taller than a marine and Grunt that it's noticable

[radiant sundial]

the reach spartans were mostly like within 2 inches of 7' iirc

execpt for jorge's chunky self

[civic sundial]

Something like that

Oh yeah, Jorge is actually taller than the Halo 3 Spartan model

[radiant sundial]

Jorge is the guy who had something to prove after the drill sergeant called him hor-he so he grew as much as he could and then some

[grave ether]

And now we know why Buck was made a spartan

[radiant sundial]

also I find it terrifying how realistically the hunters are nerfing themselves by staying in their armor

if they just, uh, wormed at soldiers like in halo nightfall there would be no combatting them

[grave ether]

Maybe the UNSC genetically engineered some birds to handle an instance where they go full worm mode

[radiant sundial]

🤣

nah they had to put them in armor bc the jackals were getting too antsy at seeing all the hunter eels slithering around

[civic sundial]

Now I want to see a Jackal with a Hunter worm caught in their beak

Just full on going pigeon mode

[civic sundial]

Ok so! Left is the ODST model used for Alpha Nine (Without all the extras they all carry), middle is the Halo 3 Spartan model, right is Reach Spartan model

As it turns out, the ODSTs in ODST are actually the same size as the marines

(I know that's a NMPD officer but they're the same size as a marine)

[radiant sundial]

I find it absolutely hilarious how the ODST boots have height boosting and the spartans dont lol

but yeah out of armor they would be dwarfed by the spartans

by atleast 10in, bc iirc the ODST's in H3 ODST aren't short, they're all 6ft+

besides that they're about similar heights, so yeah the grunts being small still isn't suprising

[hushed salmon]

Exactly. To a human they are deadly in close quarters. Humans need more Spartans. Practically all the aliens outclass the regular humans

[hushed salmon]

A trained armed human could beat a Grunt but in a fist fight with no weapons even a trained military personnel would lose that fist fight

[celest heron]

maybe a fist fight, but we'd have a chance if it wasn't only a boxing match.

[radiant sundial]

nope

a human is just gonna break their hands on the grunts exoskeleton

[hushed salmon]

Give a human a weapon he may have a chance. If he has no weapons he is so screwed

Grunts weight like 250. 250 compacted in a 5’6 body is going to give them a lot of punching power

[celest heron]

what I meant is if I'm fighting one, I'm going for their mask breather and damaging it asap.

[hushed salmon]

That would be your best bet. Damage it’s breather then run away immediately

[keen silo]

How long can Unggoy last without their flavor of Methane? A few minutes or like. Seconds?

[solemn portal]

We don't know. Humans can survive without air around 5 minutes, so something around that number.

[coarse dagger]

Current record, underwater, is 25 minutes. Which is wild

[rugged quartz]

i really wonder how that works

people can pass out easily but also a lot of time without air sometimes?

[magic loom]

Thats so cool seeing, what about Halo 4? Chief seems shorter or it could of been just me

[unique parcel]

This is about infinite - Games loads and says "Press Enter", but when i do the promt goes away and nothing happens. Is this a known issue?

[tulip tusk]

yeah https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/4411142084628-Cannot-Sign-in-to-Halo-Infinite-on-Steam-Stuck-in-a-Sign-in-Loop

[digital robin]

Halo infinite i expected more in it tbh

[timid bough]

campaign or multiplayer

[visual steppe]

Tbh I like the recent additions, the ma5k especially

[wraith pivot]

is halo ce really the best game in the series...

[shadow turret]

Personal preference really
Imo Infinite is, but everyone likes different games more/less

[wraith pivot]

😔

would it be ideal to only play infinite and nothing else (ce isn't doing it for me)

[solemn portal]

What's the issue with CE?

[wraith pivot]

game was off to a good start but the open grass field area kinda threw me off

half of the time i just didnt know what to do

[solemn portal]

You're lost? Just follow the blue lights or go to where you haven't been yet.
The Halo level is actually pretty small.

[wraith pivot]

and maybe because I kept restarting the level due to accidentally killing too many survivors

excuse my aimlessness but what blue lights?

[solemn portal]

Before every subsections of the canyon, there are blinking blue lights that will lead you to an area where the marines are.

[wraith pivot]

im blind, i cant see them 😭

ill just try halo infinite and hope for the best

[solemn portal]

Bruh...
Have you at least driven past the "This cave is not a natural formation"?

[opal solar]

Tbh ce is very outdated when it comes to level and gameplay design. It's quite short anyways so you're not missing much

[wraith pivot]

I KNEW THAT LINE SOUNDED OFF TO ME

Anyway yeah, I did

[solemn portal]

And the light bridge?

[wraith pivot]

I'm just trying to run through halo and doom games for something related to death battle and atm just trying to get the general gist of both game series

[wraith pivot]

Yeah

[quiet compass]

I've been playing mcc 🤫

[quiet compass]

Make sure you don’t mention it to anyone. I’m aware it’s a sensitive topic.

[frosty condor]

k

[weak slate]

finally reached hero rank

done in 1523 matches

[frosty condor]

Dang, congrats! I just hit Onyx Captain grade 1 last night

You got there quick

[weak slate]

firefight classic clutched up

if it didnt exist i would be halfway to hero right now

[frosty condor]

I missed that short iced huge xp dishout as I was on vacation

[swift iris]

Some are more vocal about it and not recommended in engagement.

[wide patrol]

I think that every halo.game for the most oart improved upon the last in terms of mp, with some exceptions. I think halo reach is better than 4 and 5 is better than infinite

For mcc I search halo 3, halo reach, halo 4, and halo 2a

I just dislike the way halo ce mp is the most out of all the halos and halo 2 is just too much of a time sink into learning the conoetitive curve of the mechanics

[swift iris]

I know a few people who'd probably disagree fully with you on that with Reach and 4 due to gameplay reasons. (Even though they're both made with the same engine.) To me personally both have their share of pros and cons as games of their time.

[summer basalt]

hello?

[zenith scarab]

Halo CE 🐐
Halo 2 🐐

Giving halo ce one more shot

[frosty condor]

don't forget to use the reload glitch 😮

[deep valve]

really useful on LASO

how do you clear the hangar area before the mantis on infinity without a tank or wraith?

[wraith pivot]

Tell me more

[frosty condor]

Called the "backpack glitch". This video explains it https://youtu.be/KY6dRa5cjPg?si=bt5X_R-iY9MxF_Zg&t=11

[wraith pivot]

Thank you kind hola player

[frosty condor]

[deep valve]

nvm I just shot the hunters with plasma turret on a broken wraith until they died

[quiet compass]

First rule of halo. Don't talk about halo

[civic sundial]

Halo isn't fight club, you can talk about Halo

[quiet compass]

Agree to disagree.

[brittle hollow]

The way Infinite saves progress is funny. I tried replaying The Sequence, and I quit the game once I saw "Saving PROGRESS" and ended up back at the start of the mission when I continued

[shadow turret]

Did you quit while it said saving progress?
Bc if so that'll invalidate what it was saving, and go to the point before that

[quiet compass]

Was halo infinite single player any good

[hearty beacon]

Does anyone know if Operation Blue Team will stay after April 8?

[timid bough]

it wont

probably'

[ruby lake]

"you will own nothing, and you will be happy"

[brittle hollow]

No, I waited until the thing disappeared

[shadow turret]

Odd
Idk then

[shadow turret]

No, it wont

[coarse dagger]

The items from within the pass will be available at a later date though.
Free track stuff goes to the exchange, paid track to the store

[shadow turret]

Yep

[celest heron]

I just use the hog from the vehicle run and have spartans in it.

[quiet compass]

Halo reach is pretty good

[sturdy kernel]

Every Halo game are good

[quiet compass]

Halo infinite would like a word

[celest heron]

Infinite is good

[crystal iron]

Infinite is good

Its just that part of the community have no idea what they want

[solemn portal]

I know what I want. I just ain't playing your Halo and I'll stick to the good ones.

[crystal iron]

and another thing is that, halo's community is split. Meaning, we're all scattered onto multiple games from reach to halo ce to halo 5 to infinite

[uneven bison]

Infinite is abysmally empty compared to pretty much every other game in the franchise

[crystal iron]

That's alright, stick to the other ones that's not a problem

[crystal iron]

That I can agree on

but gameplay imo is nice

[uneven bison]

Gameplay can’t save a game fundamentally flawed at its core

[crystal iron]

To each their own. I like infinite and the some of the old halos. Reach by far was the best imo

Felt like a movie

[uneven bison]

Because it was more than a tech demo for something that was abandoned anyway

You were there for the plot, not picking up pieces

You weren’t running around copy pasted spreadsheet environments, what you did had consequence

[crystal iron]

Games made back then had passion

[uneven bison]

They were made by people who liked games, not their shareholders

A Wall Street suit will never know why a game is important

[crystal iron]

Yup

Well hopefully some "good news", halo studios are hiring a couple passionate people for the next halo project

we'll see

[civic sundial]

Games still have passion put into them now. The problem isn't a lack of passion (Which I am pretty sure I've said to you before), it's higherups squeezing the devs and making it really hard for them to do things they want to do

[crystal iron]

Yes that's true

Unfortunately

[coarse dagger]

They always have hired passionate staff. Lots of community members have been hired over the years, including very recently

[crystal iron]

Its pretty much what Eon said, higherups making things difficult for the devs to do what they want to do

I recall this being mentioned on some video I watched as well

Bright side is, we're getting halo stuff

unlike the transformers community who have been dragged 6 feet beneath the ground

and not received one proper and new transformers game

[uneven bison]

Don’t get me wrong, games still have passionate people working on them. But things have to go through multiple stages, and when one of those is making sure the game can squeeze as much money out of people as possible, or whether it checks off boxes for people who will never even play it, you’ll never get a game that truly is what people want

For all the whine and drivel from certain people, they are not wrong when they say games are made for audiences that simply don’t exist within their space

[crystal iron]

Btw something that doesn't make sense to me is how is Halo Infinite profitable to Halo Studios when there are barely any players on it

[uneven bison]

It isn’t.

There is a really big thread on the halo subreddit, but to quickly summarize, infinite was not a cash cow that Microsoft was envisioning (see the problem already), and was only “profitable” (meaning making a net positive) for a brief period

[crystal iron]

Yep

[uneven bison]

Unrealistic expectations, complete misunderstanding of reality and the market, and just straight up parasitism killed the game early on

For all the flak contractors get, statistics show they will put in more work than people who are comfortable in their seats

The mistake infinite made was making the core of their game under contractors

Amid a million other things

[celest heron]

It's also the only open world halo game so it's not really comparable.

but I agree that it's empty for an open world game.

[uneven bison]

If they wanted to make it open world, they should’ve not committed all their resources to a bloody engine when open worlds are already infamously difficult and long to make

Red dead took 7 years and even then rockstar took shortcuts

With a 200+ workforce nonetheless

And there’s no way games can regularly hit that level of quality, so being asked to make an a whole engine in addition to a new game is unfathomably difficult

[crystal iron]

What engine where they using before slipspace

[civic sundial]

Blam!

Which was made by Bungie

And Slipspace was basically a heavily overhauled version of Blam! which warranted the name change

[crystal iron]

Ah okay

[glacial tartan]

https://www.halopedia.org/Blam_engine Clicky clicky

visual aid

[celest heron]

It probly still would've had issues even with an easier engine because they aren't an rpg company, but I don't fault them for trying something big and new.

[glacial tartan]

We can praise the attempt while also acknowledging the mistakes 😄

[crystal iron]

They are going for something big and new again lol but I feel like they'll do it right this time after the huge mess they got into

[glacial tartan]

https://i.imgur.com/gpDrRgF.png the meme

[celest heron]

well they did learn and made new ones.

[uneven bison]

Slipspace was an overhaul of Blam, blam was already aging anyway, so I see the rationale in an engine change

Unreal makes my eyes roll because it’s a very vanilla and “whitewashed” engine that prioritizes realism over aesthetics, but it could be worse

I like frostbite but we’re not battlefront or battlefield

[civic sundial]

Hi-Fi Rush used Unreal and is the furthest thing from a realistic game

[uneven bison]

Because the concept isn’t really realistic either, Halo is military sci fi, so a tad of realism, while appreciated, should not be the central focus of any halo game

[swift iris]

Which is none.

[uneven bison]

Reach fans howling dark n gritty are in the corner for a reason

I like reach, but I also like some of it being confined to reach as well

If your pushing a game to be as realistic as possible, your risking sacrificing the other features of a game

And halo is chock full of features that can suffer from “realism”

I don’t expect 343 to actually go headfirst into that situation, though, so I’m only laying it out as a warning rather then a genuine worry

[celest heron]

there's no good halo's?

[swift iris]

Considering some of the new cosmetics we've got with Infinite, I don't think there's any concern unless you're one of those people who'd complain over cat ears.

[uneven bison]

There’s worse things than cat ears with infinite

[cursive harbor]

Where do I go to join a clan

[celest heron]

#1076334026090094602

[swift iris]

I apologize. I have to look at each of the games constructively now since each of the games were byproducts of their respective time which some didn't age well as FPS games changed from how it was back 20 years ago. Can't let nostalgia deter my judgement. ||Especially once you find out what occurred behind the scenes beyond the videos. But I'd rather not generate that kind of of debate.||

[swift iris]

Long as it doesn't cause complications with the hitboxes or can give you a disadvantage you're all free to armor up your Spartan however you want. Don't let has beens on it convince you otherwise.

[civic sundial]

The cat ears don't give you any advantage or disadvantage, they're just a fun cosmetic you add to your helmet

It's not like adding them gives you any buffs or debuffs or removes a hitbox on the player model (Really wish HS would fix that Bungie era issue with Elites in Halo 3)

[swift iris]

Don't forget about the Bungie legacy armor. The flames don't cloak with active camo.

[glacial tartan]

What do you mean?! If anything, Elites are easier to shoot! /s /s /s im being insanely sarcastic I hate this bug

[civic sundial]

Wasn't it like that in 360 Halo 3? I never had the flaming chest so I can't even go check

[civic sundial]

It's the fact that it's an issue with all helmets but the default one which annoys me the most

[glacial tartan]

thats not a bug its a feature

[swift iris]

Yeah. Bungie never did address it for 3.

[civic sundial]

Classic Bungo

[glacial tartan]

Cant fix whats not broken

[crystal iron]

Its kinda funny to me how hopeless halo's playerbase is

But source: trust me bro, they aren't going to fumble this one

because if they do, and this is harsh, halo will be gone

We'll see

Leave it to for the future

[swift iris]

I've been hearing that exact same tone for nearly 13 years. From the old forums to now it.

[crystal iron]

Yup I know this

But I feel like this is it, they are actually hanging on by a thread and everything has it's end.

So it's either they clutch it up on the next one or they're done

Yk how there's like multiple problems in life and that one point in time comes where everything changes, this is it

[swift iris]

Sure, as you say.

[crystal iron]

Leave it for the future

[celest heron]

meh, even if it's good I don't see halo having its glory days again. It will probly have good initial sales and then over time be back to where we are now.

[crystal iron]

To be real, no games nowadays are having their glory days

things are just different

[graceful ingot]

Different as in not cool

[crystal iron]

I don't know how to properly describe it

[graceful ingot]

It’s just what audience they are targeting. Reasons why Halo became so popular is the same reason Baldurs Gate got millions to play a turn based game. They made something so cool for their specific audience that they insisted normies adopt it.

nowadays products haven’t even hit market saturation for their specific audience before trying to broaden that audience.

[shy cradle]

Halo Reach Team Hardcore is back in the competitive playlist on MCC. Anyone wanna play?

[weak slate]

months of firefight koth

i was in platinum in feb 2024

lots of burnout

[keen lark]

Halo 5 seems to be the least populated in my experience.

[crystal iron]

Many people disliked as far as I've seen (correct me if I'm wrong)

[celest heron]

I think the campaign was more disliked than the mp.

[crystal iron]

To be completely honest, I never played 5 but I plan to soon

[scarlet shuttle]

Why is the last Operation not available to buy (and complete)?

[coarse dagger]

Things have changed since the last update:
https://aka.ms/SpringUpdate25

Passes will now lock after their active period meaning you can no longer buy them, but the items inside will be available later.

Free track items go to the Exchange and paid track items go to the Store

[sturdy kernel]

It's already been pinned, Panda

[frosty condor]

[deep valve]

is this forklift jump possible? I can't do it even with 80 FOV https://youtu.be/DK0gWn-Xibc?si=1Mb7qGY3G3UT1CPo&t=211

oh wait you need the cowbell skull I'm stupid

[river minnow]

yes it's pretty easy

[scarlet shuttle]

Holy. This is the S news I’ve read and I’m pulling the plug on this game. They did this thinking they would get more players from FOMO? 😂 what the actual F. I always wished other game would take the route of letting us buy and play at our own pace.

Thank you sir for your answer.

Been playing since day one, didn’t complete 2 passes so far, always felt like if I ever have more free time, I’ll buy them and complete them, but now that I missed one I can’t buy again, I lost the only incentive I had to progress in this game. I won’t pay 20$ for each god damn pieces of armor I could have gotten for free or 10$ for the whole lot. This is insanity, the person behind this idea has gone astray.

[crystal iron]

I love infinite and some of the content it has but this update is whack

For a spring update they gotta add some guns

Maps or whatever

[civic sundial]

We did get a gun, the Fuel Rod SPNKr. The next update coming in May will include the Mutilator, which they confirmed is coming in the Summer update

[uneven bison]

They did this to get more money, player count doesn’t matter

The game praised by many for its anti fomo approach finally caved to fomo

Would be humorously ironic if it wasn’t sad

[radiant sundial]

Uh, what fomo 💀 you can just buy the armor from the exchange instead now after the pass completes

For whatevers paid it just goes to the shop instead

[frosty condor]

There’s no fomo

Fo sho

[glacial tartan]

Does the exchange in Infinite rotate? If so, that would be a bit of fomo since you may potentially have to wait for an item 😄 (In MCC the exchange rotations take years)

[radiant sundial]

No? Everything is avaliable 24/7

[uneven bison]

It doesn’t rotate, you’ll have to find the previous items in the armor hall

[glacial tartan]

I think theres some mechanic where you can just buy particular things later, not as sure

Ah okay, thanks for clarifying

[uneven bison]

The armor from operations comes later in the store as a more expensive bundle

I’m sure you can see what’s wrong with that

[glacial tartan]

Thats a smart way to punish people who werent smart enough to buy the pass when it was active, poor morons /s very sarcastic I dont like it

[uneven bison]

remove credits from passes
remove the ability to retroactively purchase passes
encourage lengthier and more expensive purchases

Nah guys it’s fine it’s all good

Not downhill at all

[glacial tartan]

The part I really dont like is that we are drawing blood from a stone nowadays, with what development roadmap?

[uneven bison]

No roadmap, just milk the cash

[glacial tartan]

I never regret buying items in Fortnite because I constantly see development being done, constant loot pool changes etc etc

Its why I didnt like the MTX conversation for MCC. You're going to sell items but....for what? There was never any explanation of what the value gain for the players was (amongst other problems, like introducing it many years into the games development when the playerbase was at its lowest)

Eh. Preaching to the choir a bit I guess 😄

[uneven bison]

Expecting anything to be a cash cow years after its release is akin to pounding graveyard soil

Fortnite got away with it, stop trying to copy it and move on

[frosty condor]

I know there’s data showing companies that go F2P make more money via MTX than selling a game outright with no MTX

Said data may not be available to the public, but I’m sure it’s there

[uneven bison]

There’s also data showing the amount of players directly correlates to revenue made

[glacial tartan]

I think the major difference is actually keeping a playerbase

[frosty condor]

If your going to make a ftp could at least try to keep the content flow going

Otherwise you bleed players and thus money

Clearly that’s all players are anyway

We are a consumer at the end of the day

The last few thousand players might buy a $20 skin for a game they already know has had its development severely limited, thats an idea I guess

It was an attempt and a miss, it is what it is. 5th times the charm

Let’s say of 2,000 active players, 500 buy a 20 dollar skin

Still a loss in todays market

Bump it up to 4,000 and 750 buy a 20 dollar skin, you’ll make a profit, probably won’t break even
