That a skill issue
It’s the fact that the story comes back to certain areas etc.
And when you comeback to those areas the arease actually change
I truelly loved how CE introduced me to stuff
That said the flood map was a little bit tedious hehe
Exemple keyes with the green lakes and black dirt paths
Yes indeed, I think it is a great way.
Yeah also the maw was tough on laso
Guilty spark? It’s so easy to get trough there man. I think my time is 8 min or something
Speedrunning or just normal way
Speed, record I think is 4 min and I found 8 min to be nice
I got TAR and TB left for par time :/
You meant like you use speedrunning tricks like grenade jumps wall glitching stuff or just run as fast as you can skip enemies and dont fight when you have choice
Yes
That being said, CE on LASO is such a great experience, I don’t understand how people can dislike it.
Oh please, I don’t either 🤣 I just fail my way to the end lol
It's hard or kinda mid difficulty
I just run as fast i can kill everyone throw all my nades dont waste anytime on useless stuffs
That’s a good way too. I still need to mentally prepare to get through TAR in 20 minutes
First time i played ce when i was little children at 343 guilty spark i piss myself even at start of mission then i piss myself even more at the flood intro and i quit game then comeback when it was day so i'm less scared then i never played halo when it was night lol..
Oh yeah it is
Oh xD I just played halo for the first them in 2021. Started with CE up to halo 4. Did ODST and Reach in co-op.
oh yeah lol
Did all the games on legendary though. No need to waste time on normal and heroic xD
@bright finch Cool
Oh you never tried normal lol
i always play leg too i started in like 2011
Yeah, I do that with all games tbh. I don’t want to spend time finishing a game more than once. Halo on the other hand was an exception lol.
Oh yeah you have it on steam
If you do then you can put mods and they are so cool man``
I love doing the campaign every year
Nice job!!!
Im a noob when it comes to that. I am on Steam Deck ^_^
Gonna do ODST next then circle back to CE
I need to buy a washable marker to put a dot on my screen xD
ODST is such a drag, perhaps my least favorite with 4
4 is dreadful, but at least with ODST I don’t have to fight flood
It's really easy to put mods just watch a guide you just gotta go to workshop press install and it'll go to mcc automatically
The Flood are in ODST via Flood Firefight, a mode exclusive to the MCC version of ODST. Also, your phrasing makes it sound like Halo 4 had the Flood, it does not outside of its own twist on Infection, but those are player controlled infected in a multiplayer scenario, not enemy NPCs
I mean explicitly in the campaign, and yeah my wording is confusing since 4 has no flood, but I am dreading it for other reasons
I would posit (at least from my legendary experiences) that Prometheans are worse than flood
I'm gonna be completely honest, the Prometheans were nowhere near as bad as the Flood to fight
Flood is kinda meh enemy now, it should've stayed closed in titanium buried box
I just remember spending way too long combatting Knights in Midnight
And the ammo economy is halo 4 is so awful, when every enemy takes a magazine it feels slow
Outside of one encounter where I just didn't have the best weapons, I didn't have too much issue
Oh yeah, the ammo economy in 4 is bad, but I can at least manage with limited ammo if I use enemy weapons against them
Or, to quote Luthen...
But I like the Promethean weapons so I'm fine with that
I enjoy the promethean weapons for sure, just not my favorite
Nothing more infuriating than finally killing a knight only for a hidden watcher to fly by and revive him while your back is turned
Situational awareness is your friend, gotta keep an eye out for those
Gamers are allergic to paying attention silly
To be honest I'd still rather deal with that then Halo 2's Brutes or Skimmers.
Halo 2 Brutes my beloathed, hate that they have as much health as a Hunter
Brutes are easy though. Just headshot them.
Halo 2 Drones on Legendary on the other hand....
Pain, but true about drones
An excellent point
Man those jackals are so annoying to headshot in odst
I feel like their heads are almost bulletproof or something
They're as "difficult" as they were in Halo 3.
The Automag is pretty good against them too.
how to unlock all spartan point halo ? collection
Play the games, complete challenges, level up in the progression system which the game has
Does anyone know if a public lobby in custom games can be joined without starting the game first, or can players join before a game is even started from the browser?
in infinite? no it wont become a public lobby until session launched. sometimes i see players join quickly as the map is initially loading
Alright, Thanks
Hello.
Anyways I don't know why people want Nobel six back. He's dead. Died a hero
hes alive in a cave
does anybody know which the best mod to make ai battles or just spawn in different types of ai on halo reach
Someone told me that PC players on MCC have higher fire rate on their weapons due to higher frame rate. Can someone confirm that or is it fake news?
Its a bending of the truth/misunderstanding of the tech there. The weapon firing rate is a set value, its not multiplied based on frame rate 😄 The server has a set tick rate thats slightly different (now we are talking about interpreting the data on the server side that the client is sending) which matters too. But no, increasing your frame rate doesnt make you shoot faster.
https://i.imgur.com/5DzPRWm.png Here is a helpful writeup that 343 put out in 2020 that should help clear things up 🙂 its a bit mathy but hey
cheers thanks mate
When MCC VERY FIRST RELEASED over 10 years ago it was true for like...a few months. But everyone was on Xbox and very few even noticed. 😄
Since its been on PC definitely not
(I see this question pop up all the time, people think PC gives some massive advantage)
Anyone wanna achievement hunt infinite from the beginning or coop missions

hello guys! are people still playing halo reach infection on halo MCC?
More populated in the evenings
@sullen kiln I’m not used to discord but I did campaign lfg already
I guess no one plays infinite I see reach , mcc a lot
Those are the channels you're meant to use for finding people to play with
The channels Iratus directed you to are the ones you're meant to use
Even I don't hate Halo Reach that much, and I hate Halo Reach.
I hear Nobel six won a Prize
It was an energy blade
That's what the Elites were doing in the final cutscene, they really wanted to give him his new energy blade
create a post on the Halo subreddit
Automatically gets deleted
No wonder why barely anything changes with the game.
They're literally bringing in changes based on fan feedback in the next update

It's taken 8 months to slightly reduce the available game modes to select within the composer. Even then, it's still terrible.
It's because potential feedback that could greatly improve everything vanishes.
But then again, there's not much you can fix with a game that's over 4 years old. The best solution at this point would be to focus on a potential reboot of the series.
HS hasn't said anything about a reboot happening
Reboots are gross
That's not what's happening. Plenty of feedback gets through and is seen. A few threads getting caught in an automod on reddit is not the downfall of feedback never reaching it's target dooming everything to fail.

Reboot fans vs original ideas going forward enjoyers
Reboots and retellings can be fun but the amount of people that want to continually scrape things and start over the moment something they don't like is there astounds me.
How could you ever learn from anything and make it better if you keep deleting the start and never progress onward?
I think the reboot would be a good idea because the story as of now is going nowhere. What we potentially had for a sequel to Halo 5 was squandered.
Plus, everybody loves the original trilogy. Reboot that to make it better without making controversial decisions, and it'll be thriving again.
Retcon everything made by 343i. That's a decent start.
Reboot your pc ✅
But most of all, my major feedback is if they did reboot the trilogy, don't release a multiplayer game every two years or so. Just make the new multiplayer extremely robust and support it for 5 or 10 years during the SP releases.
Considering the advances made in forge, tons of new maps can be added in support of the SP release, along with developers adding new weapons since everything is part of the same engine.
I genuinely cant see a reboot of the original 3 being received well by anyone. What do you change? What new ideas would be vehemently hated? Do you add sprint to the New Halo 1 or not? Would Cortana be purple or blue? Do you make grunts an inch taller? Do you make Elites playable?
Do you see the very real issues here?
Where do you go if not "To War."?
Terrible idea. It would make HS look insecure about building upon the past 15 years of Halo
They've been insecure about their world building for the past 15 years. Omissions, soft reboots, never willing to commit to anything.
Rebooting the franchise would be a controversial decision and would not guarantee the series would thrive
Omissions? What have the omitted?
If they couldn't commit we wouldn't have anything at all 
The Created nonsense for one.
So the thing which the fans endlessly complained about back when Halo 5 happen, and then took a backseat because it was such a big complaint that Cortana turned evil, which yes, I do think wasn't the best decision. You're upset they decided to do a thing the fans wanted?
It's an example of their cowardice.
Still a terrible narrative element.
So they're "cowards" for doing a thing fans asked for now?
Give fans what they ask for, get punished.
Ignore fans and do what they want, get punished.
It's a no win
Yes.
Outright retconning that trash would have been braver.
Or fully committing to it.
It's an half measure to avoid pissing people off, which pisses people off because it's an half measure.
Halo 5 had an interesting ending and I really wanted that to continue. Rather than dedicating to that story, the devs basically got too scared and made it into a cutscene.
That's one of the many reasons why I thought infinite had the worst campaign in the entire series.
Are wraiths the most annoying vehicle in infinite ?
Any vehicle with a horn that gets spammed is the most annoying.
beep beep beep beep
fun police over here
Ugh, just finished Kizingo Boulevard on LAso, what is your guys experience on Alpha Site? Do you consider it difficult in comparison to the previous missions?
it's pretty easy
I only struggled with the very end
I was checking silver his guide and the entire weapon juggling etc just bothers me, I can’t wait for this to be over so I never have to play ODST again xD
oh just a note
he doesn't have mythic enabled in his laso, so he can like 1 shot the hunters
that's just not possible, it'll take more
I was thinking something was off already
Because it took me way too many shots to kill certain things
How come? I never watched his guides for ODST so this just sounds odd
whispers
I think Halo needs a faster time to kill and faster respawns.
Leaves
there was a bug for a few of the laso playlists where it didn't include mythic
I think even his halo 3 and reach playlist don't have mythic
pretty sure it's the ones where jackals get knocked back instantly, you just can't do that on laso lol
Silver always has the weirdest things happen in his guides
@void gorge feel free to share your Halo live streams in #1076327824924872755 - links will embed there :)
hi
Hey fellas, is anyone else having a hard time getting into an 8v8 match on MCC?
You need to play during American prime time hours.
It also depends on the game.
Is it still possible to get the Vidmaster achievements on H3ODST campaign edition?
I'm trying man, I check steam charts and get on peak hours. Idk if I'm banned or something, are you getting into big team battles?
Within 5 minutes? Sure.
Gotcha, well I'll keep trying then, haven't played a btb in like 2 months
I can usually find h3 btb matches pretty quick.
couldn't agree with you more, wtf did they do to btb?????
random vehicle/weapon drops are back, and even normal versions always feel like heavies now :(
Am i the only one getting stuck when i satrt the game and after logging in the loading screen gets stuck?
other folks are reporting similar issues. we have #1075989764026675210 if you havent posted there yet
why did the grunts and the shield guys stay with the covenant during halo 3
Those were Grunts and Jackals still loyal to the Prophet of Truth, whether that be due to fear or other reasons
alright thanks
Finished halo infinite and had an absolute blast
will be playing more games when i have the time

i wish mastercheif went back to reach to recover noble six while he was hiding in the cave
hi guys
no he's just dead
i just got masterchief collection on steam sale, never played anything halo related. which part do i play first?
Not just dead, he's super dead
Go in release order, so Combat Evolved, then 2, then 3, then ODST, then Reach, then 4. They're listed in mostly chronological order in MCC but that's not the best order to play them since you don't get to see the proper progression of gameplay mechanics over the years
reach and odst are spinoff games so it won't be a part of the main story with master chief, but it's still fine to play them in release order.
Yo man
Can we play together leaf
hi whatsup
cortana is like an AI thats everywhere and does everything right?
i want to experience campaign first
not everywhere but a super smart ai that can pretty much do anything
we can play campaign coop (2 players)
when i get the hang of it sure
and cortana is like in masterchief head cus shes in a chip that masterchief put in his helmet
alr
alr
leafcommunicate
let me add ya
accept pls
uhh do CE
ima customize controls first
ok take your time
we do the campaign from the beginning or you were in a certain level in the game
beginning
oh ok normal difficulty right?
it's so great when my teammate blows up the hog in ff on purpose when I'm in it trying to get the monthly hog challenge done. then proceeds to blow up the spawning hogs. sometimes I wish friendly fire was on.
This firefight gonna have me addicted
lmao
anyone here know of anyone that can help? i've got a support ticket submitted already, i haven't been able to play infinite for 2-3 months now because of this bs. game will load and then after 5-10 seconds the game will crash. crashlogs say the game can't detect my gpu, but i know it isn't a hardware issue because this is ONLY happening for halo infinite.
Halo or cod, which do you think is more sweatier
COD without a doubt
Trying to get a screenshot so you can see what I'm talking about, but I keep randomly getting some dialog in H3 MCC multiplayer in the middle of the screen saying like "hold/press B" for something. Can't find the setting for the life of me...anyone know how to disable this?
The only reason I'd like friendly fire ngl
yeah, and since then I've played around 7 games and I haven't gotten a warthog map. 🙁
Edit: now I've played around twenty games and still nothing.
Oof
might just be a bug or sometimes it will do it if you hover over a weapon too long.
FF Doubles? Easy mode for that challenge.
just copped mcc
what order should I play, which game is best campaign, which game is most active in multiplayer, and are there any I should skip?
Play all of them in release order (the order it shows on the install page for the games; CE, 2, 3, 3: ODST, Reach, and 4 I believe)
I think H3 is the most active MP, but I'm not too sure personally
And in terms of skipping, I'd say no, but it comes down to personal preference really once you've played them
why is the unsc marine uniform always changing
and the bungie halo games in lore are like 5 months apart
They all exist concurrently.
UNSC has a lot of different kit sources, planets to develop camo for, et cetera.
I like the halo wars a lot
I love visorless/minimum visor helmets
same
for halo ce u should play on classic especially in the mission 343 guilty spark
No
Wade, why are you spreading misinfo
Really?
Nobody knows yet
Wade, please don’t spread misinformation without any sources backing it
I so badly need to know how the adventures of Echo 216 progress after the events of Halo Infinite
YO I can play in like 30 mins
yeah probly, but I don't like two player modes.
Thats fair - I used to do that challenge in BTB until I realized it worked in ff
What's peoples thoughts on firefight in infinite? I'm kind of getting addicted 😂
yeah, I usually do it in ff cause it takes too long in btb, but this is kind of unusual with how long it's taking to get a hog map. Of course, I'll probly get one next time I play.
I like it, but I mainly only play fiesta gruntpocalypse cause I want the best chance to win for the most xp in that mode.
it was decent at first, but got 10x more fun when they added firefight classic
We need more maps with vehicles on for the Firefight Classic mode. Like, let me mount up in a Warthog and splatter Grunts
Or grab a Razorback and some marines and give them all power weapons
also add enemy vehicles on select maps
I'm surprised we don't sometimes see Wraiths on Security Zone
Especially since the original mission that map is based on did feature Covenant dropping in Wraiths at that area
I'm newish to infinite zo I'm glad they added this I didnt take to the games release I thought then it was weakest in franchise but now God dam I love it
Fair! I'm newish to it so it's fun for me atm
Oh, believe me, it is fun, but having a Mongoose on only one of the FF Classic maps isn't enough
wanna play
its kewl
Kinda new back to halo and jumped into campaign on infinite again and God dam forgot how tough can be 😂
Just did a 2 hour classic FF last night! Me and this other player kept going at it while others bailed out! No easy kills when you get later in the game and they're more brutes than grunts in the stages. 4 more plays in this game mode and I should be in Onyx General! Hero rank is near!
ranked halo is cooking me fr
people in ranked before weren't that bad to play against
platinum league is now so sweaty...
Are we aware the Husky Assault gametype can break and cause the bomb to disappear and/or freezing the game timer to create pseudo-infinite games?
file a bug report on the support site.
https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us
tbh, if a game isn't predatory but still has monetization, I want to spend. Big example is Infinite. Core gameplay is peak. But battle passes and microtransactions. But they aren't predatory, at least for me, so I somewhat want to spend money
I really like it personally
Just burnt out from playing like a few hundred hours of it in a fairly short time lol
I just want to make this clear for myself, what generation of spartan is in Halo Infinite?
IV (4)
aight ty
Np
Oh boy, just a terrible youtube video about some bloke rating all halo games. Giving Halo CE a B rank :/
I cant wait to get max rank and never touch this mode again
A B's honestly pretty generous.
Eh….not for the best game in the franchise with 2
I forget that people's opinions on Halo games runs on opposite day rules.
What do you mean?
They do not like Halo 1/2/3
I mean, I do not like certain movies for example, but would still rate them an 8 or 9 because they are good
I have a question, I'm working on a fanfiction within Halo 4, does anyone know servers who are into that? Like fanfiction/ x readers etc?
Since it's my first writing something after being a fan for so long, but I think it would fall under self promotion if I asked right?
There’s a #1076327824924872755 section you can go nuts with self promotion
can anyone help me i have a forge question
when i change the camera speed to 1.60 it moves extremely slow
and when i change it to 1.70 it moves super fast
any other speed values dont seem to make any difference, it's either slow or fast
halo infinite forge
why is the slowmode 10 seconds theres straight up nobody in here 😂
There's quiet periods and active periods, when it's active it's needed so we keep it on
Excited to confirm you can also just type your entire thought in a single message 😄
Make sure you type an essay with self created quotes 🙂
does anyone know how to fix the camera speed in forge?
maybe try in #1231006559539036233
This is a mere pipe dream of mine since the trailer got me hyped.. but are we actually going to be the banished one of these days??
I have listened to Venezian Sonata. That'd be poetic irony if the Banished gets the idea to make their own super soldiers, copying what the UNSC is doing.. with even less safety protocol.
Well the Banished don't make their own super soldiers, they hire human mercenaries known as Janissaries, which is basically the closest thing to a Spartan Venezia has. The kids seen in that story are just the ones being forced into that line of work
And well, outside of the Prophet's Prelates, there's not really been much in the way of Covenant super soldiers
I smelled endless gameplay potential in that.
If you've ever heard of Freedom wars before where you're undergoing dangerous monster extermination work to justify you existing outside a prison cell?
That'd be perfect for a helldivers co-op shooter, until you either repay your debt or you manage to sneak a signal for help to the UNSC.
being backed up by a squad of jackals while you're at it.
Eh, I'd rather Halo not try and copy what Helldivers is doing. I get the appeal, but I just don't think Halo should chase after Helldivers
Is helldivers just pve?
I wouldn't want an exact copy of that gameplay either.
It would also make for a good traditional campaign too.
I mean, Helldivers 2 gameplay is basically just MGSV gameplay.
mhmmm like? It's gameplay of helldivers 2 and Metal Gear The Phantom Pain... #helldivers2 #metalgearsolid
yea all pve
im not sure, h4 could have been seen as chasing cod with the classes but i didnt mind it much its pretty fun. helldivers-ish halo couldve been a normal transition from odst to a future game i guess they either didnt think of it or didnt go forward with a project if they did
COD was not the only game to feature custom classes and it was also a natural evolution of the classes we saw in Reach's multiplayer
And I hate whenever someone tries to go "Halo 4 was copying COD"
Not entirely. It copied SOME parts from it.
I admit that's one of the best parts of Halo 4. The killcam is really good at weeding out cheaters in any game mode.
I would actually like to see that in every halo game.
(if we're really going back, wolfenstein 3d was the first to have a killcam replay!)
everything else about halo 4 outside loadouts is still classic halo gunplay.
Helldiver style can be just as natural imo
Clearing bases is already like infinite + odst drop pods
hd is just a more intense infinite co op campaign mission tbh. But halo has cooler bosses
Way more environments though
For example there is a huge appetite for large lobby Raid style Halo missions, being filled by forge creations in infinite
HS could create an excellent one themselves even if done in forge rn. I'm going to ask them if they can work on one or some
I find it funny that people claimed that killcams letting you see how someone killed you somehow took all the 'skill' out of camping.
Like, dude, camping doesn't take skill, and they'd still be able to see you if you were camping when you killed them.
it also encourages revenge which is good
I found the killcam to be annoying.
They're amazing. @onyx latch
camping is still a legitimate strategy. You want a tactical vantage point. But you can't OVER camp in one place.
a grenade will get thrown where you're camping faster. that's all that means.
I mean I do think UI functions should always be a majorfactor in any design decision any company makes-such as the ability to purposely turn off a killcam by default.
same.
especially since it was like 15 frames
can anyone help me in #forge-chat
Yuck, back on ODST LASO 😩
I am now noticing it, even wraiths take 2 laser shots and it kind of changes the layout of the fights.
Ah, well 2 wasn’t that bad so can’t be too hard
In 2 you never had to rely on an AI. You WILL know pain.
Ok fair enough 🤣 well I am looking forward to it.
Im wondering what if you laser the Wraith where the pilot is? May one shot there if I remember, but i haven't done LASO maybe pilot is durable enough to survive
with how they changed each Operation/Season can I go back to a previous one if i didnt get a chance to play them or are they gone forever
i saw the one with Blue Team not showing up for me so i guess they arenot permanent?
@heavy edge Most battle passes are permanant,
but I honestly did not like what they did with the last 3. they made them unpermanant.
I do understand it at least, they wanted an extra incentive for people to purchase it.
i see well i guess i wont be able to get any of the Blue Team operation pass
hey, the staff around here actually listen!
it isn't a waste of time to voice your support for it returning.
the super cool banished armor was enough reason for me to buy them when they went up for sale.
You will in the Exchange
But it takes a few updates to rotate in
Passes are no longer permanent to buy whenever, but in roughly 2-3 updates (I think, idrk) any payed items will go to the store, and any free items will go to the Exchange, so free armor will always be free (payed armor/Premium items will most likely get upscaled in price, which I'm not a fan of, but)
If you buy the pass while its active though, you'll have access to it forever
They were all permanent, what?
Frontlines-Forerunner, and all future passes aren't able to be purchased after they expire anymore
Burden of proof's on you.
... But, after doing a cursory look on the Switcher, I'm wrong, you're right.
I didn't buy the Blue Team pass, but I did finish it. Huh. Didn't expect that, frankly.
My bad, sorry.
All good
in infinite's koth ff, does it show all five hills in the postgame stats or just three? The screen where it shows the xp amounts of the hills.
I forget tbh
I feel like some of them may be grouper for some reason or sumn, but it's been ages since I've played FF KoTH
got another garbo teammate blowing up my hog in ff. luckily, I got a bunch of kills at least.
I didn’t try that, they dead and I got to the next checkpoint inside the hall near the elevator where they are trying to get through the doors etc.
It was too late at night for me to really focus after that so I put it away and will continue tonight or so
Which is better: Titanfall 2 multiplayer or Halo Infinite
Honestly, the movement for TF2 is way better in a sense
why do ppl say not to trust nmpd on reddit
If you've not collected all the audio logs, it's spoilers for when you do
He's a chill dude who just needs backup. Don't worry about it.
Both
@river minnow
I mean Titanfall and it's not even close
Rushing to the ship after losing/winning is still one of my favorite features
Personally, I prefer Halo's
Have you seen tf2's movement
It's beautiful
Yes I have
I don't judge it off of just the movement, I've played both, I prefer Infinites
Unironically one of the coolest things they could've done and it pains me it's only ever been in Titanfall
Though there is an irony in me having only played the beta for Titanfall 1 and that being the only place I experienced it
I mean, but wall running? cmon
That's the best
@white jungle when do we play
Who wanna play some campaign
Im at 343 Guilty spark havent started the mission
I wanna play coop
broo nobody here 😦
Im play alone

Sorry, steam deck in co-op is still dead so
Man how many people do not understand that in koth you are meant to stay in the zone?
I only leave the hill if I'm under heavy fire and there's little cover. I like not dying
Yea, it's been particularly bad today. Half of the matches I've played I've found myself solo in the hill against about 5 bipbaps and grunts spamming grenades.
Then when I inevitably get blown up, I can see my team mates scurrying from the other side of the map doing God knows what lol.
You get more score by staying in the hill
The enemies go to the hill so you get more kills at the hill.
There is literally no benefit in being on the other side of the map
The optimal strategy is to have one or two guys dedicated to hunting people outside the hill.
I’m so hyped for the Battle of the Academy playlist
Love Linear Firefight or anything PVE
id really like if HS forged a pve mission of some sort, more like a campaign
It's not referred to as a Firefight KotH mode, right?
Like, this new playlist is something different, no?
Never playing koth ff again after getting hero lol.
Only play it due to consistently getting 5000+ score each match and it results in a gain of 700,000xp a week so I'm on track for hero on 20th July 2025.
Would have been cool to get a Spartan ops dlc mode
Oh what'd I'd do to get a Spartan Ops 2.0
Spartan ops was fun. I remember watching the cutscenes that released when a new ep came out
Can't remember if it was weekly or monthly
Like, I'd structure missions more like how Destiny's strikes are structured (More D1 than D2, not a big fan of the more recent strikes they've got in D2 these days) where there's a revive system and I'd want them to be more focused on quality than quantity of missions
It was weekly, though there was a break between episodes 5 and 6
Halo 4 is a good game, just not a halo game
The art style as an absolute insult
The samurai transformers just make it completely bonkers for me
And then you step into some Metal Gear VR stuff also
Didn't like how killed cortana then made her evil in 5
I don't remember samurai transformers or Metal Gear VR happening in Halo 4
Made no sense and ruined her legacy
And other neat things I said when I was 14
Because she wasn't evil and people who say this fundamentally have a fundamental misunderstanding of who Cortana is or what the Created Conflict is about.
??
That saying is something I unironically parroted when I was 14. Now it's something I ironically parrot because it's blatantly wrong on the face of it.
FYI, opinions cannot be wrong or correct
That's not true, lmao. The world isn't flat, but people are of the opinion that it is.
Halo 4 had a good multiplayer but I really didn't like the campaign
Honestly same, and I say that as someone who still likes 5's campaign.
The campaign was just not in line of 1,2,3
I don't see how that matters.
But then, I even disliked halo 3
Won't be impressed if the new halo game is a reboot or
If it's a reboot I'm checking out of the franchise.
I'm mad enough at how Infinite went.
I mean, I just stick to the games that I like after my laso runs are over. Halo CE & 2
On zeta halo and let's see blue team and red team on zeta halo and actually continue the timeline instead of darting around
The others don’t exist for me 🤣
Maybe even add more military aspects and let us command a battalion.
Imagine a halo game that was similar to battlefront II
Lol. Halo 7, master chief wakes up in his pod after a bad dream.
What I would love to see is a remake of AI in the first 2 halo games. AI is so good right now, I wonder how it would run on a new engine and what the capabilities are
I would hate that
Red Team is stuck at the Ark. They ain't gonna be on Zeta Halo unless they acquire a ship capable of slipspace travel, get back to human controlled space, explain what's going on at the Ark, get reinforcements there and then find out where Zeta Halo is to also send reinforcements there
Nooo it's the only way to save the franchiiiiise
I was thinking like halo 5 you see your team with you but you play as grey team doing undercover ops with sangheili that lead you to fight alongside cheif
Halo ODST 2 or something would be cool
cool, game crashed during the ff bonus round.
I’ve never actually heard about what happened ||to jun after the fall of reach, where did he go? Did he survive?||
Yes
Iirc he trains/trained some of the Spartan IVs
I forget if he still does or not tho
He more like recruitment, like Buck
Head recruiter, and a trainer
garbo game night. the unevenly skilled teams were extra bad.
Cant they just normally get out of the ark without slip space
That would take them years
It's about 262,144 light years from the galactic centre
And probably somewhere over 50k from any UNSC space, at least, but it depends on if, and how much it orbits the galaxy
So in short
Basically no
Or the crew would have gone through like 6 generations of people before it got back home, if the ship itself even survived that long
And they can't just contact UNSC space to ask for an FTL capable ship, since they're so far out
Aye. And sure they do have cryopods, but I think Cutter would want to get the news of the Banished being on the Ark back to UNSC space faster than a half dozen generations from now
Yep
Their best hope is that the UNSC has enough resources to send a ship or two through the Voi portal to see what the Ark is like
Pretty much yea
better than nun
Like, at the very least, the UNSC forces on Zeta know that the Banished have been to the Ark (One of the Atriox speech totems found in the environment of Infinite's campaign will sometimes play audio referencing the Spirit of Fire). But they don't exactly have contact with the wider galaxy either
wait what is the ark
the big think u find in halo 3? with all halos
Again, the info they have on the Banished being on the Ark is something that needs to be delivered much faster than in half a dozen generations of human life
The Ark is the Forerunner installation seen in Halo 3 and Halo Wars 2
It's called that by name in both
they re doomed
except if they find a crashed ship with slipspace travel that they can use to put in their ship
Not to brag or nothing but I was just in a game with mint blitz

Is that all? lol, it's still hard to comprehend the vastness of space and they're not even in a different galaxy.
its the number on Halopedia at least lol
You know what? I'm going to say it--
Neil Davidge was the best composer for Halo.
He was pretty good.
I'm more of a Kazuma Jinnouchi fan, personally, but Davidge was fine.
117's such a wonderful lietmotif for Chief that I'm annoyed Infinite lacks it.
I love watching the behind the scenes stuff of him making the soundtrack, so good
I heavily enjoy the Halo 4 soundtrack even if it sounds a little more like it was made for a movie
Gonna respectfully disagree, I wasn’t the biggest fan. I agree with Trench though, Kazuma was pretty fantastic. The Infinite trio were also incredible.
Stephen Rippys compositions 
Greetings everyone
Morning all.
Couple things;
- Cortana's dead. Not much to save there
- There's a big difference between making mistakes and actively trying to take over the galaxy via a dictatorship which subjugates everyone and actively destroys planets when someone refuses to bend the knee
I'm not thrilled at her being purple either.
That said-in 5, her whole schtick is that she fell into a Halseyesque mindset. I think she shouldn't have been redeemed.
I don't see why you decided to delete your parts of the conversation
Its alright man, When I reflected again I felt the same.
Anyways, Thanks guys especially ADV Eon and Trenchbird for your time and Insights. I really thought Cortana could be redeeemed, beleived in a chance.
But, yeah, its not right to ignore the just rationale. Still... man, that was a loss.
And Sorry for deleting my conversations about Cortana's redemption and leaving your replies like that. Well thats it, KJ out 
delet this
I hate the match queues
guys i have a halo infinite custom match problem
i have a mode i modified (bot backfill slayer), but at one point in the match people cant respawn anymore
i didnt set any number of lives though?
so i dont know whats going on
Anybody know if the Mutilator is going to show up on ranked maps/modes or only for social modes?
yea mutilator on ranked streets
Is it classed as a power weapon? It seemed very strong when they showed it off on stream.
Very generous melee range, easy set up for kills with shot + grav melee. Not to mention the gravity attack has infinite ammo.
Good question
Probably not I think because it’s a shotgun
I’ll report back to this channel in 4 days when it launches
Pretty sure it will be considered a power weapon since it's more in line with the shotguns of older Halo games in terms of damage
Plus it has a gravity hammer melee
yea power weapon sketch mentioned it i believe
Okay so it’ll be a power weapon
Its a power weapon
I think one of them mentioned it during the stream, and its mentioned as such on the Waypoint blog
real although I think its a tie for me between him and kazuma
was also cool to have a song called Kantele Bow in a game I play. national instrument here
i think that N/A glitched ui postgame bug is back in infinite's custom gaames
Beat the halo infinite campaign on legendary ofc lol
God the brute bosses and the last boss are terribly designed Jesus Christ
On legendary they are NOT fun bosses at all
hi can someone help me https://discordapp.com/channels/471722331820130324/1367924941374099527
Any fellow Halo Wars 2 enjoyers?
I mean I finished the base game pretty recently on xbox, and it was pretty fun, especially the last level with no population cap
Nice
Getting a blank screen when trying to log into infinite? Any advice?

new to halo just got mcc. any advice ? i do see there are 2 more halo spartan games, alongside halo wars and the halo infinite campaign.
The two Spartan games were originally mobile games, being twin stick shooters and aren't too important to the story. Halo Wars is a Real Time Strategy game and while the first one is not as important to the story in the main games, its sequel is where the antagonists of Halo Infinite were first introduced
bro when did i block you 💀
i hosted the marathon match last night 💀
So they changed the battle pass system on infinite right? I missed the blue team operation so how do I go back and get anything from that operation?
I thought it was promised they go into the exchange? Why is it showing vaulted?
After doing some googling they're only updating the exchange every major update with the previous operation content. This game is exhausting to be a fan of
it's been loading for 22 minutes for me 💔
im in that part where it shows the halo ring from directly above while it loads
22 minutes and counting wooooo love this game 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
#halo-discussion message
Here's explanation
That's an uninstall from me, I'm not messing with that fomo stuff
Free stuff will come to Exchange, and premium stuff will come to Credit Shop
In next operation in exchange shop should be stuff from Blue Team operation
After a several month waiting period when previously there was no wait
mcc solos
ODST Laso coming to an end, truelly a poor challenge if I may say so
Is it me or was halo 5 a really fun game?
I wouldnt mind the new halo game’s multiplayer being similar to 5 tbh
It is a fun game
bro ignored me
Huh?
wdym huh i mentioned you lol
Sometimes stuff slips through and I don't see it
ic
@civic sundial im hosting another marathon map btw and this time it doesnt have the bug because i disabled revives
it's called Proxy it just released
Ok
What about the single player, is it worth picking up for that?
Nvm, not on steam
Yeah, Halo 5 has no full PC release
whats the quickest game / mode to get 500 grenade kills in mcc multiplayer
Why can’t I sidestep those hammerbrutes. Skillissue much I assume
@solemn portal so I am at LASO Coastal Highway now, do I need to mentally prepare for the AI or what? 😛
because the gravity hammer really isn't something you can sidestep lol
is there no session name in halo infinite custom games?
Well, Silver does sidestep it and pretty smooth too.
I’ve done it like a few times but with atleast dying 5 times inbetween
the session name is usually the name of the gamemode, so if you want you can try renaming the gamemode to get a specific session name in the custom browser
i see..
is it posible to have classes in halo infinite? like in halo 4?
Random question
Is MCC okay now with the whole hacker problem in public matchmaking?
i think it is?
i mostly play customs and i havent seen a single hacker in mcc customs
I'm in the mood of playing MCC today, but I just haven't done it because of that whole thing
Skiddies and mod menu users are pretty rare.
Just redownloaded Infinite and going through my armor customization and Realize there isn't alot of Grounded Military stuff for the default armor whatver it is.
Like the Halo reach armor has really cool tactical stuff but the halo infinite one jjst gets these weird Goofy platings. Especially the Wrist part its just random stuff that doesn't look great like no extra Ammunition things or anything I'd the sort.
Noticed thrybreally leaned in hard with the shop stuff.
Figured I'd give this game another go sin e inwant tonkrevent myself from burnout in MH wilds
Ah, ODST Lasso completed, Halo 3,4,Reach to go!
Congrats to you man. Are you soloing them?
Thanks!! Yup
My god the visual lighting bloom effect in Halo 3 MCC is so awful. Was it this bad in the OG days? Can't remember
halo infinite is halo 3 if it was good
Does anyone still play Halo 5 forge on pc?
Just had Escharum decide to fly away in firefight by doing little hops.
Infinite just needed cooler explosions like H3s, they were spectacular. The Adjutant explosion is best by far. but other vehicles explosions are pretty bad
343 cant do explosions
I encountered another stupid bug on The Sequence when replaying it. After the initial fights, I fast travel to a FOB, grab a scorpion and head to the first spire, I clear it out no issues and get that part of the sequence. Then I fast travel to another FOB, go to another spire and its empty, no enemies and the door is open already. I cannot get that part of the sequence. I try to replay the mission instead of going to a FOB, same issue
I've honestly had enough with this game, so many bugs
Waiting for Halo Wars 3. Hope its like Company Of Heroes but with a huge campaign map. Zoom into star systems and fight it out on planets playing battles out.
Damn the 1v1 feels bad with the rng
Win the sniper and bandit rounds easily
Lose shock mangler mangler
Maybe time for them to hire Michael Bay
Getting too old for FPS games.
Never too old
True
Lol yeah Yahtzee literally calls it out in his OG zero punctuation review. That always stuck with me for some reason
There's plenty of kit webbing armor for all cores, though?
Oh nice haha. A shame they didn’t add a video setting for it in MCC. It’s so bad on some multiplayer maps.
That does not impact 99.999% of players. You’ll be fine.
Lol. How so?
yea
I had a rather brilliant idea this week. I thought, “Why use precision rings on my controller, when I can buy actual rings and put them on my thumbs and get the same thing and something l can wear when I’m out of the house?” So I did, and well, it ended being really beneficial for my gameplay in MCC. Far better than using foam.
dare is the WORSTTTTTTTT
oh you completed it, congrats
Does the Wanna Have a Catch achievement in Infinite only progress in multiplayer?
Does anyone have a problem with their controllers/stick buttons? Literally just got 2 Xbox series X new controllers and in game my movement and aim just keeps quickly jumping and resetting back like small movements, tried changing deadzones so much but nothing works. I’m wondering if that’s just a game problem or is what
Are all halo mcc campaigns cross play?
No, only Halo 3 and ODST
Thanks xD it was quite a joke that mission. I didn’t have a problem with my AI buddy tbh
you just doing lasos or going for all achievements?
That’s so stupid
it's unfortunate, but they likely didn't have the resources to invest all that time to do all the games when other projects are going on.
Didn't they say something like it'd take a year on each game?
six months to a year
Yeah, due to the way Bungie originally wrote the networking code for campaign. Multiplayer was handed differently.
I still don’t see why 3 is the only cross platform game if anything you’d think it’d be the newer ones. Feels more like laziness to me and them doing it for 3 since that was the game with the most hype
Work was done, from memory, on ODST diento Firefight and they translated that campaign as well (I'd need to look it up again to confirm). As ODST shares an engine with H3, it was easier to get the same networking updates in place.
As mentioned, it was estimated at 6 to 12 months per game to update the rest of the titles, which is a massive amount of work. It has absolutely nothing to do with laziness
FF was moved from being "campaign" to "multiplayer" to work with dedi servers
3 and ODST are still P2P co-op so idk if it was translated from FF
its also still pretty buggy. i think if you dont cap to 60 or 120 it has issues
feels like you don't know what you're talking about.
Never said I did, just annoyed they’d do it for one game and none of the others, was hoping to get one of my friends to experience the series for the first time
prob 6 months with 1 dev lol
I mean, the multiplayers are all crossplay, the only ones that aren't all crossplay are the campaigns
I don’t know yet. I feel like I owe it to myself to do all LASO achievements because I did 1,2 already so the others should be a cakewalk, but somehow I am not clear on if I want to do halo 1&2 in under 3 hours or not.
To be honest, Halo is worth experiencing nonetheless. Co-op is just a big bonus.
honestly, playing halo from its initial release date in early 2000's, this game franchise changed my life. amazing story and gameplay. many of my irl friends and i would spend countless hours playing split screen, co-op, LAN parties with many others in our groups, pulled all nighters playing the campaigns after waiting in the lines at Gamestop for the newest halo games to come out. but halo infinite did not hit home with me. it was all about the times me my friends had back in the day with halo for what it truly was. you just had to be there.
MCC will always be better than infinite. cant change my mind, any OG player will back this.
you can cheese that achievement
save and quit every time you die, the same way you do with laso. resets your timer
but only for ce and 2
Really?! I mean, everytime I save&quit the timer continues tbh
If you watch some guides, there are a lot of time savers that aren't too hard to do.
So true
I agree that it was pretty great back then, but unfortunately, I think the current state of how we do things contribute to the lack of that feeling. I imagine lan and split screen parties are pretty rare nowadays cause how readily you can talk online.
Also, most people who grew up doing that are older, have jobs and even kids now.
I grew up doing it and pitch it all the time, but I'm 27 now and a full time college student-I'm the only person I know who never has a busy schedule, so I'm the only one who can do it.
we need an influx of younger players, but the problem is they probly only know about doing things online.
The murder of splitscreen really deprived them of that knowhow imo
I don't think "murder" is the right term
Friendly reminder that Halo Infinite has had splitscreen since launch.
Just not for PvE.
Splitscreen was generally just slowly not being included in games since the early 2010s and with more of a focus on online play, it's just natural for multiplayer games to not dedicate resources to it. Which isn't to say no games have splitscreen these days, it's just not a feature in allot of them
True, halo infinite multiplayer being an exception
Yup, and ive been using it
Me and my buddy just completed Halo 2 LASO. Took about 3 weeks. Started Halo 3 last night 🤘🏻
- Truth and Rec
- The Library
- Cairo Station
HM. Regret
These are my 3 undisputed worst experiences in the entirety of LASO. Regret would move above Cairo if you didn’t use exploits.
Wait infinite has splitscreen?
Yeah I need to stop being lazy. I hope I can share those achievements sometime soon here though
Yeah good for you man, grabbing that achievement really is something to be proud of. CE is also a great one, in my opinion CE was more difficult than 2.
Can I actually unlock stuff on this game without spending money?
On which game
Infinite, I'm a new player
Looks like everything needs these credits or a mf battle pass
Yes, from the exchange
Ah, I don’t play infinite. Only rushed the campaign for Laso
But I suggest waiting till tomorrow, since the exchange will have ui update to easily find thing available to purchase with earnable points
I was gonna say is this it?
Mate if all I got to go off is free tiers of a mediocre pass and bad exchange items then I'm good lmao
Yeah tbh horrendous customization if you don't want to pay extra for everything lol
We've gotten some fantastic sets for free, like Kelly's Hermes, Prefect and the upcoming Halo 3 EOD and Halo 4 Venator sets
And the Exchange has stuff like Mark V Zeta, which is one of the best looking helmets the game had in its early days
Going to start with Halo 3 on easy and then go for Laso I think. How is 3 in comparison to the others? The Laso playlist I mean, I assume harder than ODST but significantly easier than CE and 2 right?
for ce and 2 it resets back to the time it was when you hit the last checkpoint
every other game it continues
Oh ok that is nice then!
way easier, but it still has its moment
are you using silvers guides
Yes
ok idk how he missed it in his guide, but when you get to the scarab section on the storm, you can completely skip it
saves you so much time
I will keep that in mind, I use his guides just as a guideline because sometimes things just occur better for him
Like his 100% headshot accuracy 🥲
lol
if youre familiar with the forklift skip in reach, its exactly the same. not hard to pull off
actually got a video of myself doing it, though i did it way too quickly and broke the mission
Yeah I remember doing that, but I don’t remember much from reach because I only finished it on co-op and was stuck on the shooter stage with the spaceships etc
that mission is hell on legendary and laso
Yes I was stuck on legendary there
It’s something I disliked about the games that came after 2, the amount of ‘vehicles’ you need to drive and get into
I play an FPS, not a transformer video game
fair, im the complete opposite though lol
hope they do more stuff like that saber mission on reach
😂 well, I know my taste/opinion is kind of on a desert island anyway. The amount of people I’ve heard ranking CE so low and putting Halo 3 up high. To each his own
Been a while since I've last seen a halo update live. Do they shutdown the servers at all before the update or is it a case of playing up until the shop refresh then it suddenly drops?
The game will need an update
😂 I even dislike going through halo 3 on easy, I find this such a poor excuse of a game
Halo 3 rules how dare you
Rules at what? Being a bad game?
Halo 3 is so bad its still relevant, probably because of how bad it is /s
Eh, people still talk about Bubsy.
The update on Infinite drops at like, 10 AM PST right?
Halo 3 hate? Since when?
not sure when that is, but itll be out in 3 hours
Bruh why not now
I asked them to push it forward a few hours so I could sleep in
Halo 3 was fun as hell to play, that's all I really need from a video game
Because HS is on the West Coast (So not 9am there yet) and get ready to release the update
Yeah, it 8:41 over here, gotta wait for nearly 2 hours and 20 mins
Bruh, I've played TWO MATCHES on Infinite and when the match is over I get a "Lost connection to game server" so I got none of the XP.
Anyone having issues getting on MCC right now
Elaborate?
Stuck on license validation screen can't load anything except campaign
Make sure your PC timezone is set correctly (may have to toggle on/off daylight savings time)
Xbox
Oh, on Xbox is interesting. First I've heard that 😄
Could try logging in / out of your Xbox account. Thats a usual fix on PC for that issue too. Usually its a stuck authenticating type thing
Now it is saying
Contacting server to get the latest matchmaking data please wait
I'm gonna let it do that for however long smoke have a beer come back lol
I think its down, was logged in fine but after relog Im stuck like you 🙂
I can't play
You can play single player 😄
gotem
I don't have it installed 😔
You can always install pokemon unite on your phone and pvp there 😮
The update releases in 50 mins
What halo modes do you enjoy playing
Legendary CE/2
I'm only really into Halo Infinite
I had fun doing infinite though. It was refreshing, new and fun
Ugh, I am suffering through H3 right now on easy to refresh the lvls before I jump into Laso. My first one was CE, loved it.
I've played the campaign on them all
Great games, I just wasn't very good at them all
Yeah, I mean despite my personal preference, I enjoyed going through them too.
Seems like its only for logging in that its stuck 😄
I might just do the campaign I usually do a couple missions on legendary every day
enjoy!
Anyone else able to access the match making menu on infinite?
Have a good one man
I'm stuck with the ! triangle and loading icons on the menu
hey halos, is it normal for MCC to refuse to load customization options after a while? I played earlier today and now it just refuses to load
i can. im searching for a game right now
Could be a server issue, theyre flipping them off and on for the update or something
I mean I looked at down detector and it's at 100% server connection
Servers are going down it seems
in a game right now
I can't even see my battle pass it's just a loading screen
I think it’s just server issues right now
Makes sense, was starting to worry that something was broken on my end
Mcc as well? Lemme check mcc
Mcc as well
Must be an issue with halo studios' servers then
Must be overloading
Yep, mcc ain't working for me either
Ofc, today is may the 6th AKA Single player Tuesday
No way my bday is linked to this
Lol. No friends for halo fans
Now we know who to blame —> @gleaming pawn
There's a reason why blue team ain't in the og trilogy
I always liked the grunt dialogue.
Pain
Because master chief is a sigma wolf who sits alone at the lunch table
The mission Cortana in H3 reminds me of the one in Zelda where you are inside the fish in OOT, the final dungeon before you turn big
Servers have been down all day. I played two matches of Halo Infinite earlier, both times when the matches ended, I got a "Lost connection to server" so I never got my XP.
And it ain't my Internet. I can play DayZ just fine, and that game usually takes more bandwidth than Halo does for me
KEK
theres an update today lmao
This has been going on for the past 4 hours tho. Typically I can play up until the update drops with zero connectivity issues
womp womp
true but im sure it has something to do with the update
Finally back in had to hard reset a few times
anyone else having isues loading like any of the menu stuff? lol
yeah score, battlepass n challenges doesnt work
Bruh is the infinite update broken smh
ive played 2 ranked games and at the end of each game "lost connection to server"
😭
⚠️ The development team is working with partners to investigate reports of #Halo online service and matchmaking errors. Stay tuned for updates on this investigation.
yeah its not loading anything for me
Is there a fix yet?
They're working on it
Took a bit of time
But now things load for me or atleast starting to
Huh now it's just half stuck

So I appreciate the detail of the player only replacing one shell in the Mutilator when they reload after only firing a single shot
It's also been shown on community streams
according to down detector its only getting worse
You guys liking the new discord logo?
I was like okay we’re finally getting ranked snipes… down for hours
Server issues do be like that
Nothing unites a community better than server issues 🙂
Give it a few more hours and we'll be at each other's throats over something dumb like sprint or the visuals of something so insignificant
Is something wrong with the servers? None of my main menus are loading
Known issue right now, it's being worked on
Ok thank you. Just making sure it's not me lol
Hello, is there an official notice stating this? 🙂
Yes
Thank you. I can't navigate Twitter since I don't have a profile there. 😅
Dev team is working with "partners". So server related? 🤔
Yes
I played a game of Big team and everyone including myself was a default grey mk VII spartan like when on a fresh acc lol
Because of these loading issues*
Did the menu issue get fixed yet?
No
What do you think would win
A promethaian knight with a binary sniper ( halo 4) vs a necron sniper ( warhammer 40k)
It’s not a menu thing every halo multiplayer game is down
You can play custom in mcc
Servers on infinite are still having issues? Cause It doesn download my spartan at all
Halo services are having issues right now, it's being worked on
Bruh, yeah i just tried again right now I can't even get past the main menu
Custom games, the Academy section, and matchmaking seem to work, but the shop, battle pass, and customization menus are broken
Anyone else been unable to load up the game sense the update? Guessing most by the lines?
Halo services are having issues right now, it's being worked on
The devs are working on a fix from what I can tell
Something happened between the dev build we saw on stream and the release
It's unrelated to the update today
Issues started before and are affecting more than just Infinite
That’s exactly what I mean lmao
When I used to play wow, the forums were spammed on maintenance day with ‘servers not up yet? Want my money back!’ Lol
Ok someone ping me if they release a new statement or have an update to fix the issue
can someone also ping me when it is fixed? i wanna use the new weapon and customize my needler
ok
@lapis citrus don't visit that server
Just in case you're not aware, it's a fake/scam place
oh thank god, i was gonna check it after a nap
thank you for the warning good sir and/or ma'am
Some stuff works for example custom browser has plenty of games rn
Only partially tho like endgame score is na
Is the game more or less broken for anyone else?
Ye was barely loading for me
Halo services are having issues right now, it's being worked on
Good that lol
Game is broke servers are down
fix this game
the day i decide to come back to this abomination the servers are down
It's being worked on
Actually based response
Ay, complain all ya want, but atleast they trying to do something
I swear yall got the patience of a 5 year old with severe ADHD
I am a 5 year old with severe ADHD
I haven't played this game for a year or two, but came back for the update and the servers are down.
The timing is incredibly unfortunate, but it is 100% being worked on to be back up as soon as possible
I'm just sayin this is why the game peaked in beta. 343 doesn't know how to hold onto a player base
It is kinda funnily unfortunate that it happened on update day what kind of bad luck is that
Probably reaching a bit here but they got any ETA on a fix? @coarse dagger
A great update too 😆
Nope, pretty much asap
Fairs, guess I'll check back tomorrow then
lol, halo is always going to have a core population, but it's highly doubtful that it will ever have high sustained numbers no matter how good it is.
I feel like it so heavily depends on launch. Core can weather it pretty much no matter what but game gets labeled for a long time based on that
it's been like this for years and years whether the launch was good or bad. I don't see things changing.
best I'd hope for is that we get more new players that stick around.
I dunno if this is related, but I can no longer log onto my account on Xbox and my wifi is not working
iratus infected ur wifi gg
I think it would be different if it wasn't underwhelming at launch
That explains the red electrical surge that just happened! [Joke]
why are halo 5 servers down too
Halo services are having issues right now. The studio is aware, and are working to bring things back online as soon as possible
is MCC working?
Prob not idk
campaign is
damn
and custom ff
Any update?😭😭😭been dying to play man, had ordered dinner too was ready to play all night
Still being worked on
you still can.. if it gets fixed soon.
IF
How the quack did patching Infinite break the MCC?
is anyone able to play infinite im kinda just constantly loading
Halo services are having issues right now. The studio is aware, and are working to bring things back online as soon as possible
It's not related to the Infinite update, server issues are a separate thing
Quite the coincidence then.
Extremely unfortunate timing, issues began before the update launched
stckr you and sam are amazing for being able to put up with this; i apologize for my impatience
I've been doing this and other tech support stuff for a looooong time, I'm very used to it 😄
lol
well i’m letting you know on behalf of most (bc not everyone is a decent person) halo players we appreciate everything you guys are doing

I want the $15,000 I spent on MTX back /s

If I could, I'd fix everything and get people gaming again. Unfortunately, got to wait for the studio and partners to track and resolve whatever has gone wrong
completely understand, there’s a chain and y’all have to follow it
atp your just a messenger p much js copy and pasting the same message to everyone😭 (which i assume is very frustrating)
Is halo infinite having issue , just redownloaded and games not loading and data
It’s MCC too lol
Not just infinite. Planned on doing some reach multiplayer but oh well
⚠️ Halo - Online play service degradation ⚠️
Please be advised: there is currently a known issue impacting online play across multiple titles.
This is a temporary issue that Halo Studios are aware of. The Halo Studios team are working to resolve the issue as fast as they can. Please be mindful that there are real people behind the development team. There is no need to be rude, offensive, or discouraging towards the team. Not that role-specific insults are welcome under any circumstance, note that not everyone on the development team is involved in resolving outage issues like this.
You have no reason to harass Halo Studios staff, the Halo Discord server moderation team, nor other players.

Steam says it’ll take 6 days to patch files, it’s being a bit goofy
Welp try again in a couple hours then.
Still down fr, bro?
yeah im noticing it too, a bunch of menus and tabs just aren't loading and i can't look in the exchange, hopefully the team at halo studios can fix it soon.
yeah i would advise just stepping away for a while. steam itself may too be overloaded from people trying to reinstall/verify etc. but currently multiple halo titles are having issues anyway
I'm playing on xbox and the issue is happening, again just hoping the game isn't too broken
Server problems
man first time i come to play halo in a month and it breaks, what are the odds?
And like you many others
Given IT work... idk 1 in 133?
huh.. interesting

The #Halo team is continuing to prioritize both this investigation and restoring the progression data from matches completed today, including those with missing Post-Game Carnage Reports. Stay tuned for additional updates on this issue.
Idk if it’s just me but I CAN load up games but my teammates are just gray Spartans (all of us)
same
I cant eveb get any Match to start its like the ganes completey disconnected from the server
Some HCS coatings not showing up on rakshasa armor. Everything is back up btw
Firefight at the academy is working fine for me
Just got pinged in another discord server that the servers are back online
Anyone test it? Kinda not worth it for me anymore I'll have to play tomorrow
It needed anupdaye but the update didnt show up until I restarted my xbox which is weird that has never happened to me, but I also haven't really played the gane and uninstalled it a while ago so maybe a new feature lol
same
that's also been happening to me a little
they seem to be now
I finally got ranked. don’t know which of the 20 games I played counted towards my rank tho lol
Ok idea. Make a mutilator that shoots small solid hammers (not grav hammer like sledgehammer) single barrel.
I was given this idea by another, and I know it probably won't be added but it's out there now.
Hmmm, possible
New firefight is pretty neat. Reminiscent of "dungeons" you see in mmos albeit simplier than most ive seen. People i paired with were into doing tacticool stackups on the doors
Hello 👋
i think it would be cool to have something like this for every major update
nothing too major but helps progress the lore a little
Is anyone here playing MCC on Steam Deck
I been playing it on Legion Go
Hmm do you have any problems playing co-op campaign?
Yeah, whenever I do that, the game crashes
Yes, co-op is not officially supported - the difference in loading speeds causes the crash.
That’s unfortunate to hear
On Halo 3 it has worked for me before, but ymmv
New cat stuff is in from temu xD
Update so big it broke an entire ecosystem of servers? 💀
Server issues were unrelated to the Infinite update
Are servers back up now?
Yes, should be
Based
The #Halo team is seeing improvements after a backend update published earlier this evening. They will continue to monitor feedback & reports as the investigation continues. If you encounter any errors, submit a ticket at https://t.co/Ya2f8ZX5cs. Stay tuned for more updates.
I just played a few games and nothing seemed unstable
halo infinite can also shutdown an entire stadiums power at the optic lan
I don't think Infinite was the cause of that shutdown
If it was, we'd have heard of stories of the game destroying power grids
The recent update may have exposed existing server instabilities that have been present for a while.
That's highly unlikely, given how the grid is provided for massive servers like Microsoft's.
Aye, I agree, it was Shington suggesting the game could do that, I was just pointing out the idea of the game being capable of disrupting power grids like that would've been heard of if it could
I think Infinite needs to fix their matchmaking composer, I am in a losing streak
Winning is a rare sight to see
For christ sake I'm going against Hero rank and I am only platinum
Hero ranked players are not an indication of skill
Once you win you will 100% guarantee to lose the next game, either because of your team or the enemies
Really? Cause when I checked their profile their onyx rank too in ranked mode?
Either Onyx or Diamond on ranked
So when you're losing, it's not your fault it's just you're putting to lose
I just hate that winning punish you for being good at the game
It's not a guarantee you'll lose. But it makes sense that the better you do, the better of players you'll be put with. It's a balancing act
Career rank is an indication of time spent in game and is separate from ranked rank
For example: someone can max their xp only playing firefight, doesnt make them any good at multiplayer 🙂
It's all from my experiences, if I have no problems I wouldn't be telling it
Yeah but I'm playing PvP and most of the opponents are Diamond+ on Ranked play also
Around 5k-7k+ match played as well
That isn't a coincidence
Theres also the issue of a shrinking playerbase. As you have less players the two ends of the skill curve will be matched more often, its inevitable
As someone who lost a game 50-43 yesterday with 43 kills while my 3 teammates combined had 0, I feel your pain 🙂
(its not uncommon, its going to happen, thats life solo queuing)
Exactly having no friends is not user friendly, You'll get demolished by stacked teams and they'll make your day crap
Make friends?
what if i dont want to
It's a lonely life, believe me, I don't recommend it
And I hate chatting with strangers, I just want to play the fricking game
Lose to someone often? Invite them. Dont have to chat
It's a good life, no one is annoying you
No one said you had to, just trying to help out with your complaints. Do what you want
