[faint mantle]

There should be a crash_report + timestamp folder in there

[amber mirage]

No full logs, though? Just for crashes?

[molten pelican]

[faint mantle]

That's how it works afaik

What are you looking for?

[amber mirage]

Shame. Thanks for looking

[forest lagoon]

Every time I see one of the banished helmets just lying around I think how cool it would be to wear

[amber mirage]

Wrong message

[frail walrus]

I agree, would love to see a core that is thematic to the banished

[silent cairn]

Is it just me or is Halo CE ai the best in the series?

[frail walrus]

or a season with dedicated canon core armors that are inspired on if a Spartan defected to the banished

[amber mirage]

Context here, for real this time.

[faint mantle]

I see.

[forest lagoon]

One of the captured Spartans was tortured enough they defected

[faint mantle]

That option probably exists but is locked behind some kind of devmode only Halo devs have access to

inb4 it's the konami code but on Xbox controller

[smoky token]

If at any point we get story involving Swords of Sanghelios on the Installation (future campaign DLC pls 343) then I do think a Sangheili core would be cool

[silent cairn]

I’m pretty sure they said they aren’t making campaign dlc

[smoky token]

I’m pretty sure you are wrong

[amber mirage]

They haven't said anything on that matter

[silent cairn]

I could be wrong though, I’m not entirely sure

[smoky token]

Banished Spartan could also be cool but I can’t see a Spartan ever defecting, unless they got the Proto-SIV augments

The ones that the Infinity hijackers had

[balmy tundra]

wut

[bronze breach]

Locke should defect.

[smoky token]

I wonder as to the physical health of Locke

[silent cairn]

I like the idea of a Spartan defecting, has that ever happened in the lore before? That would be pretty cool

[smoky token]

Google “UNSC Infinity hijackers”

[balmy tundra]

i think romeo did

[smoky token]

Romeo also defected

This is true

Wait was it him or Mickey?

I really need to go back and read my halo books

[balmy tundra]

no, it was mickey

according to mythos

[faint mantle]

And New Blood

[silent cairn]

I googled it, didn’t see anything though

[amber mirage]

Get on the wrong side of the mouse, and you pay the price.

[faint mantle]

Micky was fist-fighting Buck while Romes beat up insurrectionists with rocks

[smoky token]

Walk with my dog in spring

[amber mirage]

Why it spring, but weather is summer?

[hasty zinc]

we skipped spring and went straight to summer. It's 87 here

[balmy tundra]

that is nothing

i deal with 90 on the regular

[hasty zinc]

anything hotter than 68 is terrible

[balmy tundra]

you are weak

[silent cairn]

Mines not that bad, only 75

[silent cairn]

I agree with this completely

[molten pelican]

around 76 here in VA

[amber mirage]

What's the coldest it gets there?

[normal owl]

hahaha

[balmy tundra]

60 ish

[molten pelican]

you mean winter

[balmy tundra]

unless a freak snowstorm happens

I'm texan btw

[silent cairn]

That’s the COLDEST?

[amber mirage]

How cold does it need to be before it feels bad?

[smoky token]

https://www.halopedia.org/Raid_on_UNSC_Infinity

[molten pelican]

Im a colder kinda guy 50-65 good for me

[silent cairn]

I could never live there

[balmy tundra]

It sucks yeah

[silent cairn]

Thanks

[molten pelican]

40 with t shirt, 20 with pants

[normal owl]

It was 40 a week ago, it's 80 today. The weather woke up late and was like "oh crap, I'm late for Spring!"

[hasty zinc]

25 and I'm set

[molten pelican]

fr lmao

[pliant hatch]

86 today and 51 on Saturday. 😐

[hasty zinc]

the only good part about spring/summer is thunderstorms

[amber mirage]

The sun needs to go back to sleep. Give us some more time before melting the sidewalks

[pliant hatch]

mowing lawn season

[amber mirage]

I think spring is good when the temperatures don't hit summer levels. Doesn't seem to be the case this year.

[silent cairn]

I never like Spring, it’s always muddy

[amber mirage]

Probably won't be the case going forward

[normal owl]

Agreed. The sun needs to relax. It's like a repressed workaholic on its first night in Miami.

[balmy tundra]

Global warming sucks

[molten pelican]

yeah totally global warming ....

[balmy tundra]

We need to insulate earth

[molten pelican]

i dont think thats how it works sir but it is hot

[pliant hatch]

I'll take mid 70's all year

[smoky token]

I'd like thunderstorms a lot more if they didnt knock my power out every time

[smoky token]

Thats what global warming is doing

[molten pelican]

had to start 2 weeks ago it sucks😔

crazy idea but, global warming isnt real😱

[balmy tundra]

I genuinely forgot that’s how it worked

[pliant hatch]

maybe he wants that lol. lizard ppl.

[smoky token]

You really want to go down that route here?

[molten pelican]

good idea not on discord

[amber mirage]

Or around climate scientists

[molten pelican]

the media.

[silent cairn]

He didn’t actually say that, right? I must be dreaming

[balmy tundra]

Is this your first time?

[forest lagoon]

Wut?

[molten pelican]

wut

[fossil skiff]

Halo there

[molten pelican]

aha

[amber mirage]

Halo where?

[molten pelican]

under there

[normal owl]

under where?

[fossil skiff]

Gotem

[molten pelican]

omg guys IM so funny

[silent cairn]

Well I will admit that I haven’t used Discord much until the past 2 months

[molten pelican]

ComEdy

Its CoMeDy

[fossil skiff]

“Master Chief! I was expecting someone of your reputation to be a little..taller”

[normal owl]

Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?

[fossil skiff]

I plead the 5th

[forest lagoon]

[normal owl]

That's Princess Leia being out of touch with current affairs. I'd think she'd know about the Empire sourcing personnel from recruits and not clones by that point.

[fossil skiff]

Slacking on the job, smh

[silent cairn]

“Arbiter. You’re shorter than I expected.”

[amber mirage]

Back in the early days, Stormtrooper candidates needed to ride a rollercoaster during their entrance exams.

[smoky token]

I forgot, how long does it usually take the pins to ship from the xbox merch website?

[normal owl]

and kinda rude if "Aren't you a little short" is her greeting to someone off the bat.

[silent cairn]

Craig

[vapid siren]

the special ones for the season? should be all in september

[normal owl]

I think mine mentioned June or something.

[forest lagoon]

That's Princess Leia undermining whatever she can with the authority above her. I mean she was being held captive and all lol

[vapid siren]

i think thats the cutoff for when you can order

[smoky token]

Perhaps the Empire has a minimum height for enlistment?

[normal owl]

ah, noted.

[amber mirage]

That's what the rollercoaster was for

[normal owl]

Must be this tall to ride dewbacks.

[silent cairn]

I would totally ride a dewback if I got the chance

I don’t care if it’s gonna eat me

[gray summit]

I'm trying to make a list of all the customization options (slot wise, not literally every single option) from every halo game. I don't have my Xbox with my atm and have found conflicting evidence for Halo 5 colors. How many colors are in Halo 5? 2 slots, right? Then is it 60 colors or 32 colors or maybe I miscounted the one screenshot and it's actually 33.

[smoky token]

3 slots

Primary, secondary, tertiary

[gray summit]

Halo 5 armor color slots

[smoky token]

Oh what the heck

I lied

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tILXYz90mRU

I swear I remember there being a tertiary option

[fossil skiff]

For nameplate there is

[normal owl]

Wait I thought there was too!

ahhhh nameplate, thank you Sol

[smoky token]

That would do it

Thanks sol

[normal owl]

I did my nameplate N7 colors

[smoky token]

I did mine Unit-01 colors

Same with my FOTUS

[normal owl]

That would be cool if we could freely use a color palette for our nameplates in Infinite.

[hasty zinc]

You're thinking of Seven of Nine Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01

[smoky token]

You right, my bad

[silent cairn]

Halo 5 infection is better than 30% of Infinites game modes

[smoky token]

Infection is a fun game mode

[silent cairn]

Which might not be a lot, but still

I love Infection, it’s always been my favorite

[gray summit]

There's 60 colors in that video. There's other videos and screenshots showing a different color menu where there's 32 or so, which is what I remember.

[plain lagoon]

[smoky token]

New emoji

[muted rose]

People always complain about leia being bossy, but that’s one of her traits. She’s a leader, and a pretty good one too, right off the bat when she met Han and Luke she took the blaster and shot a hole in the wall and told them to dive in.

[gray summit]

Colors

[smoky token]

Perhaps you are thinking of the nameplates?

[gray summit]

Hell, someone wanna hop on Halo 5 and send a screenshot of the color selection menu as it is today cuz I swear there ain't 60.

[gray summit]

This must be the old version with 60 color options.

[silent cairn]

I mean I’ll do it in a bit if it’s necessary

[gray summit]

I believe it is. It would mean a lot to me. Nuerodivergant gang.

[low parrot]

Speaking of color options I hope in halo 7 you can customize each main piece of armor with different colors

[low parrot]

I will

[gray summit]

Thanks bro

[muted rose]

Uh oh. Sorry about that word.

[copper meadow]

How do I report players for afk farming?

[gray summit]

How do I get allowed to send photos?

[smoky token]

You can report players for cheating or unsportsmanlike conduct on the main page of the Halo Infinite section of Waypoint

[low parrot]

Got it, want me to dm or if not where do I post it?

[gray summit]

DM, since idk where to send photos either lol.

[low parrot]

Alr

[smoky token]

You get the ability to send photos once you gain the Inheritor role, which is gained from general activity

Although if I’m not mistaken it’s not a small amount of activity

[smoky token]

I do miss Halo 5, honestly

[muted rose]

Where is planet fitness and why do all the bungie fanboys hate it

[smoky token]

Haven’t touched it since I started playing on a PC

[silent cairn]

Considering how little content Halo 5 launched with, it’s amazing how much is in it now

[fossil skiff]

Warzone

[copper meadow]

When will this be in infinite 😭

[hasty zinc]

I'd love to see the Master Control weapon skins in Infinite

[silent cairn]

Unfortunately, probably never

[hasty zinc]

mmm, good lookin AR

[safe dawn]

Hm

[smoky token]

You get this from winning against a 343 member in matchmaking right?

[safe dawn]

I hav the boomco pistol, but not the skin 4 it since i got it from my cousin

[hasty zinc]

that's ice, fire is for spotlight

[smoky token]

Ah

[hasty zinc]

I'm not allowed to talk about Ice Unicorn

[smoky token]

I thought ice was just for playing with a 343 member

I do have ice

Not fire

[safe dawn]

Why

[hasty zinc]

yeah ice was for playdates

[smoky token]

Sam I have a request to make

[hasty zinc]

if I told you, then I'd be talking about it

[safe dawn]

Hmph

[smoky token]

(He lost against a 343 member during a playdate and is still salty about it)

[hasty zinc]

no no actually the opposite, but that's not why

someone from 343 called me out for killing them so much

[smoky token]

Lmaoo

Who

[hasty zinc]

let me find clip

[normal owl]

Ubisoft+ is here!

[steady jolt]

Was it Jeff?

[hasty zinc]

Andy

[steady jolt]

Oh Andy lmao

I remember that

[normal owl]

$18/mon yikes

[hasty zinc]

(my old GT was HaloRelated) https://clips.twitch.tv/HandsomeIncredulousCougarKappaClaus-qOh6XloTCwrXluZ9

[smoky token]

Youch

“Can you stop ruining me”

That’s hilarious

[hasty zinc]

that was my peak

I also have a clip of andy no-scoping an AFK nighterlev

[smoky token]

I have many things to say but all of them would get me banned

[faint mantle]

I chauffered Andy once

[amber mirage]

Yeah. Talked about it at work and seeing the price comparison between Ubi+ with 65 games for $18 a month, and Game Pass Ultimate with 450+ games at $15 a month really helps highlight the better deal.

[elfin glacier]

Nighterlev my beloved

[hasty zinc]

was that the game we were in together?

[candid solar]

🤔

[smoky token]

[elfin glacier]

My favorite halo 5 character

[smoky token]

someone in my lobby just got a killtrocity with a ghost

[low parrot]

My favorite halo 5 character is the grunt flying bye in the Home Screen /j

[obsidian wyvern]

someone in mine got a killpocalypse in a ghost last week

1 off the naire 😩

[candid solar]

TBF, he has the single best character arc in Halo history. Simple, sweet, to the point.

They should make a spinoff about him.

[obsidian wyvern]

about nighter? lol

[candid solar]

He has.

A history.

[obsidian wyvern]

do I know you trench

[faint mantle]

Yeee

[candid solar]

No, I am an inscrutable mystery

[obsidian wyvern]

not a convincing no ngl

[late wyvern]

How do I submit a ticket? I’m playing rn and I’m stuck looking at the spawn screen from the beginning of the game, about to lose my onyx -_-

[calm fiber]

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

https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[late wyvern]

I GOT BANNED

[paper trellis]

Hey guys

Is Sam on here?

[cedar turret]

Don't do bad stuff and that won't happen

[paper trellis]

Yo I have a question for sam

Sam! U here?

[floral pollen]

She may be working

[paper trellis]

probably

I just wanted to know if 343 was actively working on Campaign updates

[hasty zinc]

that would not be answered here

[paper trellis]

why

[hasty zinc]

any info like that would be posted to Waypoint

[paper trellis]

Not like an official announcement. I just mean like what is 343 working on explained in a way with no leakage

like what are the priorities yk?

[hasty zinc]

that won't happen

[paper trellis]

why

[amber mirage]

If they want to share that information, that will be shared officially

[hasty zinc]

there are policies in place that prevent things like that from being said randomly like in a discord server

that goes for most developers

[paper trellis]

I guess that makes sense. I'm just sad about all the cut Halo Infinite campaign content

I want to know if they might add it all in via DLC or update

[candid solar]

You'll know when you know.

[steady jolt]

Good rule to follow: if it hasn't been publicly announced by 343 or Xbox (i.e. Posted on Waypoint, Twitter or Xbox Wire) then you're not going to get confirmation of it from an employee here

[paper trellis]

Do employees at 343 sign a non-compete?

[steady jolt]

Do you mean an NDA? Non-compete wouldn't apply to this

If so, yes they do

[late wyvern]

Did you even read what I said?

The game glitched and the camera was stuck on the loading screen and I got banned.

[candid solar]

You don't normally get a ban for your first quit of a session.

[late wyvern]

And with how often this game crashes?

[candid solar]

Personal problem.

[late wyvern]

Kinda like your low T

[candid solar]

I never have a crash regularly enough to be worth remembering.

[smoky token]

[paper trellis]

That too. But I ask about a non-compete because 343 just had a heavy layoff season so the ex employees would have a hard time finding a job

[candid solar]

D'awwwww, resorting to insults, how cute.

[calm fiber]

Do not tag Admins or Moderators unless immediate action is needed. If you see anything that does not abide by these rules and guidelines, please tag a Moderator to bring it to their attention.

[paper trellis]

and yeah do they sign an NDA

[round laurel]

While I empathise, unfortunately crashing / disconnecting is not an excuse.

[steady jolt]

No idea if they do tbh

[late wyvern]

? I got banned over the game messing up

[smoky token]

One crash or bug wouldn’t cause a ban

[round laurel]

I realise that, which is why I empathise, but you shouldn't be playing matchmaking if you're crashing so often that you get banned.

[candid solar]

Or at least not ranked, until you fix whatever your computer's problem is.

[hasty zinc]

isn't the first ban like 5 minutes? it's probably already up by now

[late wyvern]

Yup yup

[round laurel]

Are non-competes a normal thing in game dev? Seems kinda scummy idk.

[candid solar]

Man, that'd be absolutely brutal with the amount of turnover that medium sees.

I doubt it, though. Most of 343's employees that got let go weren't necessarily permanent party IIRC, and were looking for new work in the same field right away.

[upper dock]

yo

ayo

[amber mirage]

Considering how many devs from 343 devs have switched to new studios, I think its safe to say they don't sign a non-compete, or at least a very strict one.

[upper dock]

why is my name anakin skywalker?

[candid solar]

How did you use the force on Padme as someone who isn't force sensitive

[steady jolt]

Because that's what you made it?

[upper dock]

old status fr

[upper dock]

i didn’t because this is my first time looking in the server

[steady jolt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

It's not a name our bot sets

[round laurel]

Because you don't like sand.

[steady jolt]

And none of the staff here have changed your nick

So at some point you had it set as this

[late wyvern]

Cuz you’re the best

[upper dock]

what

now im so confused

[round laurel]

Um, watch Episode 2.

[upper dock]

S3?

[fickle drift]

[upper dock]

or s2? Or s1?

[round laurel]

[upper dock]

oh

ep 2 of Star Wars lmao

but yeah im not anakin anymore

[rare cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/anakin-star-wars-padme-gif-5048790

[upper dock]

it gets everywhere

[kindred kindle]

why do people say halo 2 is the hardest on legendary?

I finished the game on legendary and I'm now onto halo ce legendary

I spent more time in truth and reconciliation than in gravemind

ce is impossible

[smoky token]

The game tends to have a lot of BS and is overall not well balanced on legendary

the fruits of an awful crunch I suppose

Only 4 more tiers on Firewall for me

[dapper minnow]

surprising you think CE is hard

[smoky token]

CE was hard IMO

mostly because of the health system

But it was also a lot easier than Reach or 2 or whatever

4, I put up there with 2

[slender sonnet]

💀

[dapper minnow]

the TTK in CE is way higher than in the other games especially on legendary

that being said T&R is brutal if you don't know what to do

[smoky token]

T&R in particular I'd say is the hardest level in CE

Closely followed by the Library

[vapid siren]

I think we can get Uny to attest to that one lol

spent hours on it on stream for his laso run

[slender sonnet]

It's happened to me before actually too

[dapper minnow]

i dont think the library is super hard except for a few of those holdout sections

[smoky token]

Didnt he just start CE laso recently

[vapid siren]

library's just tedious and annoying

[candid solar]

Legendary Library is fun

[vapid siren]

he beat it

[smoky token]

GG

[slender sonnet]

where my game kept glitching and it'd auto kick me and result in a ban

[dapper minnow]

imo two betrayals has harder encounters

[vapid siren]

it was a like 3 part series basically

[dapper minnow]

like the 2nd to last encounter where you have to nick a banshee

[smoky token]

Two betrayals was incredibly easy

you can skip 90% of the level if you get that banshee

Well, really closer to half, but still

[dapper minnow]

you're skipping the easy encounters when you get the 2nd banshee and fly underground

[silent cairn]

That one part in two betrayals with the Wraith where you have to go through the giant army to get the banshee was hard, especially on Legendary

[dapper minnow]

^^ this is what im talking about

[silent cairn]

That part took so long

And I was playing on co op, so I can’t even imagine how bad it is solo

[lavish matrix]

the real betrayal is that there's only one betrayal in Two Betrayals

[dapper minnow]

the checkpoints are pretty bad too, like the rocket flood hallway makes you go back through an entire encounter if you die there lol

[candid solar]

No, there's two.

[candid solar]

Chief betrays Spark.

[lavish matrix]

no

[candid solar]

And don't fortnite build a fort over that, come on.

[lavish matrix]

that's not how betrayal works

[candid solar]

"Hey yes I will do this"

"Hmn no I will no longer be doing this"

[lavish matrix]

betrayal requires willful intent

it doesn't count if the other party lies

[dapper minnow]

https://imgur.com/gi8NZPX

[candid solar]

Agree to disagree.

[dapper minnow]

embed fail

[forest lagoon]

You could say their relationship lost the spark it had in the beginning

I'll see myself out

[silent cairn]

343 betrayed him first, 1 betrayal

[candid solar]

I find this utterly hilarious because you forget to do it one time the Mod has a fit over it.

[silent cairn]

I got super lucky with my play through, rocket floods were literally NEVER a problem in any level

[candid solar]

Like, you did that in less than a second.

[calm fiber]

For server moderation concerns, please message @bleak yoke.

[smoky token]

its the automod

[candid solar]

I can see them typing the command and it getting deleted, so... Kind of half right.

[forest lagoon]

At least @normal owl would appreciate that

[dapper minnow]

its not the automod they're literally manually making those show up 😭 💀

[candid solar]

^

[smoky token]

oops mb

[candid solar]

I find it hilarious, tbh.

[lavish matrix]

Please take these concerns to modmail if you wish to discuss them.

[silent cairn]

I thought it was funny, tbh

[candid solar]

I mean, I'm discussing them, but not with the mod team.

[lavish matrix]

time to stop then

[candid solar]

Just pointing out that it's silly behavior.

[dapper minnow]

i mean they're guaranteed spawns but yeah most of the encounters are actually really easy to deal with

people who complain about the rocket flood in the library are just bad

[cedar turret]

not all of them

[candid solar]

One of the greatest highs I ever had on Library Legendary was dodging every single rocket in one playthrough before taking out the source.

[silent cairn]

I also got super lucky playing Library, it was also never a problem

[cedar turret]

the worst one is in the two betrayals though

[silent cairn]

I don’t understand all the hate for the library, I enjoy fighting the flood

[dapper minnow]

lol yeah the hallway one

[cedar turret]

there is one spot where you have to bounce a grenade around a corner almost instantly after you enter the hallway before it or you're vapor

[lavish matrix]

I don't understand all the hate for the library
kids these days hate reading

[dapper minnow]

anyone else remember the rocket flood spawns on quarantine zone in halo 2? absolutely insane they gave them homing rockets

[silent cairn]

I haven’t even beaten the second level on Halo 2 legendary, I haven’t had time to yet

[candid solar]

I still find it weird that Bungie thought flood vehicle levels was a good idea.

[lavish matrix]

bungie admitted halo 2 legendary wasn't balanced correctly

[candid solar]

Like... Beyond Warthog runs, that kind of suck too for different reasons.

Least good element of any Halo game.

[silent cairn]

Halo 2 flood are the worst flood

[dapper minnow]

it would've been fine if there wasn't literal gauss hog and scorpion flood spawns

[silent cairn]

Halo CE flood are best flood imo

[fickle drift]

Halo 1 flood was scary the first time I saw it

[silent cairn]

I feel like everyone can relate to that

[lavish matrix]

they were scary for 2001 but now they're just cute

[dapper minnow]

bungie devs all said that they thought the library was too long of a level lol

[lavish matrix]

shoot off their arms and you have a loyal pet

[forest lagoon]

I didn't remember them until recently so I have a feeling my tiny self didn't care at the time or I blocked it out lol

[silent cairn]

I know most people don’t like it, but I thought it was fun

I will admit it wasn’t a very well designed level though

[candid solar]

I was actually disappointed by the reveal, because I thought the flood was gonna be something way more scary. The mix of music and the models deflated the experience.

[silent cairn]

[forest lagoon]

I was looking at the Minecraft Halo bundle and noticed they have a flood beanie. It's stinking cute lol

[silent cairn]

I just realized you can use multiple emojis at once

[vapid siren]

wait what

[cedar turret]

As long as you’re using cea graphic the library isn’t that bad

[silent cairn]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve considered buying that

[candid solar]

I should note that CE was both my first Halo and I first played it in middle school. The flood were never really all that scary.

[cedar turret]

The arrows make it a lot less of a slog

[vapid siren]

i demand to see this flood beanie

[smoky token]

heresy

[obsidian wyvern]

bro

[obsidian wyvern]

its back??

[candid solar]

Doesn't the updated graphic setting also have arrows

[forest lagoon]

I'm thinking of making the Minecraft flood beaning irl

[silent cairn]

I don’t think it ever left

[vapid siren]

do it

[forest lagoon]

It never left? It's in the Minecraft marketplace

[vapid siren]

i just want to see a pic of it tho

[obsidian wyvern]

i searched for it but couldnt find it

[forest lagoon]

It was under something like "pop culture"

[obsidian wyvern]

is this java or bedrock

i always guessed bedrock since xbox

[forest lagoon]

Bedrock

[silent cairn]

It’s really far down, it takes a while to scroll to it if you’re just on the headwear section

[forest lagoon]

I have java with all the pretty mods but I play bedrock mostly because couch comfy

[silent cairn]

I play bedrock because I can’t afford a PC

[obsidian wyvern]

the only things that come up for halo

[silent cairn]

You have to be on the character customization menu, also the pack for all the skins is called “Master Chief Mash-up” or something, it doesn’t show up when you search Halo

[forest lagoon]

If I do make the beanie irl, it'll be after this baseball hat I've cut up and modified to have the shape and 3d space of Chief's helmet I'm combining with a chef hat. Currently prototyping it. I want to add lights on the side to give a light boost when cooking and a magnetic visor to snap on when chopping onions

[obsidian wyvern]

found it ty

[silent cairn]

If you want the beanie I t’s on the part where you customize your skin

[obsidian wyvern]

now to buy minecoins despite never playing minecraft

[vapid siren]

i would've imagined it being just a crochet job ngl

[obsidian wyvern]

i can be the monitor??

[smoky token]

I used to use that one all the time

[obsidian wyvern]

this all comes in that one bundle right

[sharp granite]

Minecraft, that takes me back.

[silent cairn]

Yes

[silent cairn]

It does

[obsidian wyvern]

sick

thats so much for so cheap

[visual lance]

imagine getting into a game where 2 people are partied up and combine to go 2 kills and 38 deaths

[forest lagoon]

I don't crochet even though that would be adorable. When I was learning I would hold the yarn too tight, so tried knitting instead. Solved that problem but I easily lose my spot because I apparently can't count to 12 without losing my place, so decided to stick with sewing and other cosplay crafting methods

[vapid siren]

fair enough lol

great now i cant get the mental image of a crochet infection form out of my head

lil tiny plushy monster

[forest lagoon]

To be fair, infection is an apt description for those that take up the hobby lol

I have a friend that crochets and their yarn collection is massive

Prototype step 1

[hearty spire]

Chef hat

[silent cairn]

Master Chef

[forest lagoon]

I fully intend to have a glowing light in the back like Chief's helmet has where Cortana goes. Just trying to nail the size down right and the proportions of the visor section

[forest lagoon]

All of the ones I've seen done are the actual helmet with a chef's hat on top. I've seen no one make a real mashup. I want this to be fully functional with augmentations for the final one

[obsidian wyvern]

of all the times ive seen, i never actually realised what it was till now. thats so cool

[forest lagoon]

What did you think it was?

[hearty spire]

Correct

[obsidian wyvern]

i thought this thing was some fancy cheese trap and the yellow thing was cheese LOL*

idk why it sent that message for a screenshot of this..

[hasty zinc]

I got the same message when I tried to upload a pic of esq next to a dead miranda from H3

[obsidian wyvern]

LMAOO

[silent cairn]

I wish halo 5 servers were more alive

[hasty zinc]

wonder if I link it, it would go through

[candid solar]

NGL, if it had an FOV slider and settings to turn off the blur effects (And a PC port) I'd be playing it almost as often as I play Infinite

Like, there's other upgrades I'd want, but literally just adding basic multiplayer would be enough for me to play it.

[forest lagoon]

An elaborate game of Mouse Trap

[obsidian wyvern]

idk what i was thinking lol

[fossil skiff]

Wait Rev where did your blue go?

[fickle drift]

LMAO

[obsidian wyvern]

what blue

[fossil skiff]

Idk what’s real anymore

[fickle drift]

same

[obsidian wyvern]

i havent had a blue username for like, over a month now, if thats what you mean

[forest lagoon]

He's been white for a while now, he keeps changing colors on us

[obsidian wyvern]

white went better with this

[fossil skiff]

It’s too early for this, I’m going back to my potato

[obsidian wyvern]

give me a colour for my pfp and ill change it now

[fossil skiff]

[low parrot]

Best Minecraft world

[novel pier]

Is there a canon difficulty?

[obsidian wyvern]

heroic

[novel pier]

Alright

I woulda thought Legendary

Maybe for halo reach

since the armour wasnt as advanced and plasma could burn right through the armour

or was that a different model

[fossil skiff]

You must be thinking of Mark 4. It didn’t have shields. Mark 5 and Mark 5b (the armor in Reach) did

[novel pier]

Yeah that one

[candid solar]

Some limited models of Mark IV did mount shields, but they were pointedly experimental and not the norm.

[novel pier]

but what about Mark 5 and 5b, when shields are broken is that still the case?

[candid solar]

It's iffy. Nowadays plasma in general is not as portrayed as being as lethal as it used to be, especially to MJOLNIR.

[candid solar]

So... Kinda. Really depends on the plasma you're getting hit by and where. It's less durable than Mark VI and some depictions of GEN2 or GEN3, at any rate.

[novel pier]

alright

[candid solar]

For reference, a Marine was able to survive a hit to the chest with plasma weaponry without immediate injury due to his breastplate (Though he had to take it off ASAP via the quick release straps), so a direct hit to the standard body armor of the UNSC is confirmed to not be a certainly lethal strike nowadays.

[novel pier]

aaah ok

so he had to take off the plate because the plasma would burn through

[candid solar]

Basically. So some improvements were made. Though even ones that took place around the original books also tend to show better survivability too, so early installment may've been deemed as going too far into 'everything is hyper mega deadly' territory. I concur with the assessment if that's the case.

[amber mirage]

Now instead of 'hyper mega deadly' it's only 'super ultra deadly'

[jaunty yoke]

Just imagine how weak marine armor is if an overcharged plasma pistol shot and 3 more normal ones are enough to kill a Spartan 2 in canon lore

[silent cairn]

Or just 6 plasma rifle shots if you’re in Halo 2 legendary

[cedar turret]

Can't even shrug off a scorpion shot to the chest. It's sad really

[balmy tundra]

That was red teams right? Or are the halo wars shields non canon

[sacred inlet]

hows everybody doing?

[obsidian wyvern]

halo wars is canon, don't see why that wouldn't be

[candid solar]

It usually takes significantly more to kill Spartans now. That was pretty early in lore and in universe and in armor not really built for durability against plasma.

[near tree]

This armor is behind the times

[candid solar]

Spartans have tanked anti-tank mines, energy sword cuts/stabs, ghost rammings, staggering amounts of plasma fire, direct hits with fuel rod guns, headshots from Banshee plasma cannons, gravity hammer headshots, multiple shock rifle hits without shields, etc etc etc.

Only three of those examples were from non-IVs.

[cedar turret]

odsts can take two beam rifle shots. That's nothing.

[balmy tundra]

Clearly, armor has improved by now

[candid solar]

Touche.

[cedar turret]

It's just a shame they changed the armor so that you can't survive 5 inches of water

[candid solar]

Hell, Mark IV was drastically improved by itself nearly a decade before Mark Vb was even on real drawing boards.

[regal chasm]

Compare Chief getting bodied by 343 in Halo 3 to him just casually blocking the Infinite's Monitor beam attack.

[candid solar]

*Halo 3

[lethal maple]

Master chief sent a banshee flying with just a punch 🥱

[balmy tundra]

Someday the sea marines will someday get their mjolnir

[candid solar]

Apparently the Gamestop advert of Locke bodychecking a Banshee was canonized.

[junior heath]

how come mcc on the microsoft store just sucks?

[candid solar]

Banshees in general just seem to suffer critical existence failure whenever Spartans just exist around them, lmao.

Between getting punched, tackled, skyjacked, and sniped.

[lethal maple]

Skill issue 😴

[leaden juniper]

until you play halo wars 2

[regal chasm]

Halo tend to just have awfully designed vehicles. I'm not really surprised that a Banshee can blow up from a Spartan giving it a mean look.

[jaunty yoke]

Yep

[lethal maple]

Bad engineering

[candid solar]

Halo 5 has a funny interaction where Tanaka tells an Elite how to fix a Banshee and he's just like "How did you know to do that", with a simple response of "Yeah I've disabled them by doing the opposite of that a lot"

[junior heath]

how come mcc on the microsoft store just sucks?

[candid solar]

Skill issue

[regal chasm]

"Let's make an Humvee but with no doors and literally 0 protection for everybody."

[lethal maple]

Damn

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 5's Scorpion tank is realistically more useful than the classic Scorpion design, but you know Halo fans, when it's convenient they like something because it's cool, and when it's convenient they complain about something not belonging to Halo

[candid solar]

I'm... Iffy on 5's. I like it more, but it didn't really solve much about the old design that was an issue.

[smoky token]

I still think that feat is a bit silly

[candid solar]

I kind of just assume he did the same thing Locke did, tbh.

Just from a different angle.

[smoky token]

What did Locke do

[candid solar]

Basically dive-tackled it.

Less a punch, more a ground pound sort of deal, but still.

[copper meadow]

Why even send a banshee flying. Wasn’t it flying to begin with?

[candid solar]

lmao

[jaunty yoke]

Spartans are beyond overpowered in canon lore, they move so fast regular eyes can't even see them in action, which is why the Covenant call them demons

[lethal maple]

Helped it out

[candid solar]

IMO, ideal Scorpion is 33% smaller, M808S (Halo Wars 2) turret and tracks, and M820 body (Halo 5).

[copper meadow]

I thought only chief was demon

[lethal maple]

He didn’t have amor lock

Had to improvise

[candid solar]

All Spartans are demons, Chief is the Demon.

[jaunty yoke]

"Yes, run, little demons" said by Atriox to Red Team

[smoky token]

All spartans were demons

[balmy tundra]

Honestly, chief needs an exclusive nickname

[jaunty yoke]

In the games, running a spartan over with a warthog will kill them. In canon lore, running a spartan over with a warthog will kill the warthog

[candid solar]

And Chief was originally only "The Demon" singular because of Installation 04, because he didn't exactly stand out exceptionally compared to other Spartans until then in terms of anti-Covenant engagements.

[smoky token]

He kinda has one

[fossil skiff]

“I’m not so much hunting a Spartan as I am hunting the Spartan”

[lethal maple]

John halo

[jaunty yoke]

Silly Chief, a single Brute almost kills him first time he fought one

[balmy tundra]

Chief was very mid at the time

Among Spartans

[candid solar]

Chief was pretty crippled around then, tbf. Literally 'worf had the flu' in Spartan format.

I mean, Chief's still more just exceptionally lucky than anything else in terms of why he's effective. It's why he ran into next to zero issues in Infinite's campaign, funny enough.

Don't get me wrong, he's amazing, but the majority of his success in Infinite as a solo combatant is because he both A) Wasn't doing it alone, B) had pulled punches against him, C) Was given assistance that everyone who died before him really didn't.

[jaunty yoke]

Even in the events of CE Cortana had to save him from an infection form that almost kills him

[candid solar]

Hell, he knew the mission, but nobody else did. They just fumbled in the dark due to the mission's secrecy.

[jaunty yoke]

It's amazing how many times Cortana has saved him

[lethal maple]

She even stopped him from activating the ring in CE

[candid solar]

Fighting from CE-3 was mostly either assisted or third partying, lmao.

[lethal maple]

Honestly

[candid solar]

And in 4 it was still a lot of third partying and being underestimated by a villain to whom cautious extermination was a silly suggestion.

[lethal maple]

He still the 🐐 tho but he third party’s a lot

Can’t blame him tbh

[jaunty yoke]

The difference behind the reason really hits from Halo 3 to Halo 4. In Halo 3 Chief wants to save Cortana because she's an important asset to win the war and stop the Flood, saving her is an obligation to give humanity a chance. Meanwhile in Halo 4, the Chief wants to save Cortana because he wants her and doesn't want her to die

[candid solar]

"Master Chief in the books" is literally just waiting until a good moment to strike between the Flood and Covenant killing eachother ad nauseam, or just trying to survive whatever the hell's going on, or getting assisted by a sizable contingent of Marines/Elites/Spartans/whatever.

Or just constant catching enemies flat-footed.

[candid solar]

I appreciated it tbh. Then again, despite disliking Cortana as a character, I think she gets misunderstood a lot out of universe by fans as a character.

[valid grotto]

Must have been the wind...

[lethal maple]

Lmao

[candid solar]

... And, tbh, I always perceived the Halo 3 level of interaction was indicative of a deeper friendship, under a pretty thin veneer of professional courtesy.

Halo 2 and 3 not giving Chief any actual personal responses to things Cortana says during gameplay was part of the reason it can seem very one-sided, which was one of the better moves Halo 4 made that ODST started.

Shocker; Having your playable character actually talk when things happen makes it easier to get them as a character.

[autumn zenith]

halo infinite is boring af the developers need to make it more optimized too

[candid solar]

I can't post memes but I have a good one for that

(It's a picture of a toaster)

[autumn zenith]

its runs like dogwater on pc

[candid solar]

I've been playing it just fine on a stock standard 1080 since it came out tbh.

[leaden juniper]

it does run like crap. im on a 2080ti and it still has very fluctuative framerate

[candid solar]

lmao

[autumn zenith]

wow i gotta spend $1,00 to be like you

crazy

[candid solar]

Lmao

It's a prebuilt I bought like four years ago

[smoky token]

$100, huh?

[candid solar]

On a discount

[autumn zenith]

ohhhh

[scenic latch]

1050 Ti?

[autumn zenith]

alr

[candid solar]

Stock 1080, no Ti.

If you're trying to run it on a 1050ti I'm not surprised it's not working out for you.

... Is that even a thing?

[smoky token]

How do I do the skip on this part of the level

[scenic latch]

"the game has to run on my 8 year old toaster or else Infinite gets 1 star"

[candid solar]

It's harder in the MCC version

[hasty zinc]

get in then out

[candid solar]

"Where's the HDMI Port in my waffle iron"

[faint mantle]

Align the cart with the door and move it inch by inch until your Spartan can get out in the gap between the two doors

[smoky token]

Ah, it worked

thanks

No enemies either!

This will be useful for LASO

[faint mantle]

There's a ghost parked on your left

I mean Phantom

[candid solar]

Laughs in doing it the hard way

[hasty zinc]

yeah but then you have to play Reach longer

[candid solar]

Depends on the day, because I don't always hate Reach.

Just most of the time.

[livid lion]

You know, if I was in the Halo, and see the Flood, I would just run. Although, the Flood would be terrifying to encounter. And they overwhelmed your memories when being infected.

[valid grotto]

I use to be an adventurer like you till I took an arrow in the knee

@fisherbro Hello! I don't have any details to share right now, but we are hard at work on the next MCC CU and look forward to sharing more info about it in the future. 🙂

For clarity

[low parrot]

Yeah that’s why I got worried

[low parrot]

Alr ty

[low parrot]

Mb I meant it send this as a reply to spinning

[steady jolt]

MCC has shifted back to a more "ready when it's ready" approach. Due to the complexity of the things they are working on, this stuff can unfortunately take quite a bit of time

[low parrot]

Yeah, I prefer quality over quantity anyways.

Just had to make sure.

[pliant hatch]

only thing I don't like about that vid is you shot the grunt in the beginning of the bridge which alerted more enemies.

[solid vortex]

so when is the Halo BR coming out

[jaunty yoke]

Trial and error

[hasty zinc]

but the grunt birthday party makes it even so it's all good

[steady jolt]

Nothing like that has been announced

[smoky token]

The only BR they are interested in is the battle rifle

That was a quote

[steady jolt]

What about the Bandit Rifle?

[forest lagoon]

Now it could mean the Bandit Rifle

Dangit....

[smoky token]

Just another fancy term for DMR

[steady jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/twins-twinsies-man-spiderman-spider-gif-12746886

[forest lagoon]

It's not a DMR without the scope. It can't be a Designated Marksman Rifle if it's missing the thing that makes it a Marksman Rifle

[smoky token]

I need to buy a new domain for an email server but I can’t think of a good name

[forest lagoon]

It's just a slow pew. pew. pew. Instead of the other BR that goes pewpewpew

[smoky token]

Feels a lot more powerful though

Meatier, if that makes sense

[forest lagoon]

I'm trying to figure out where it's supposed to go along with the other rifle that I just forgot the name of but it's not the assault riffle that after the bandit rifle showed up everyone stopped using

[leaden juniper]

h4 dmr sounded mean

[jaunty yoke]

Best place to test them both back to back are Halo 4 and 5 since those 2 games have both weapons together

[steady jolt]

pewpewpew.com/.net/.mail/
Lost track of all the fancy tlds these days

[smoky token]

Why would I use a fancy one when I can use .cx or .ch

Especially when those are so much cheaper

[jaunty yoke]

The Commando rifle

[forest lagoon]

Thank you!

For some reason I thought the rifle started with a V and nothing was coming to mind

[jaunty yoke]

There was no good reason to get rid of the Fuel Rod gun

[steady jolt]

I bought a .family and so many places can't sort basic regex to accept it 🙃

[forest lagoon]

I can't believe I legit forgot what it was called

[smoky token]

I’m a bit new to webdev in general, why can’t/won’t they support it?

[steady jolt]

Honestly, no idea

It's been around for 15+ years

[jaunty yoke]

Why is Sony so worried about losing everything to Call of Duty when they dominate 70% of the high gamma videogame market?

[forest lagoon]

Companies gonna company

[steady jolt]

Lot of validation seems to be tied to 3 or 4 letter tlds or double dot tlds. Anything longer and apparently it doesn't exist

I've emailed places about it, never had it resolved

[smoky token]

The backend devs getting lazier by the year

[steady jolt]

Had a government site let me sign up with it, but the password reset functionality wouldn't accept it 🤣

[balmy tundra]

It’s designation is VK-something

[forest lagoon]

Seems like programmers from the past didn't think about the possibility of having longer ones and don't care to adjust

[steady jolt]

It's so stupid

VK78 YES! I knew I wasn't losing it that bad yet

[steady jolt]

It's not even hard to fix 😭

How long have you been doing web development?

I looked at your website, it seemed pretty impressive

[forest lagoon]

I'm not even a little bit surprised

[steady jolt]

About 20 something years

[steady jolt]

Thanks 😄

[smoky token]

Sheesh 💀

The person who is teaching me webdev isn’t even that old

[steady jolt]

Lol

[faint mantle]

Today I asked my old man if he'll let me see him do his taxes so I can learn. So far he hasn't called me.

I keep saying to myself in going to get back to more react / node development, never do.

Anyways, 3.19am is late enough. Work in a few hours

[smoky token]

3:19 huh?

Is that GMT?

[steady jolt]

Yeah, I'm in Scotland

[stuck ruin]

Not exactly. Bandit is an automatic.

[smoky token]

The M392 was as well

Just never in a game

[pliant hatch]

watching Ready Player One. How are people not running into things wearing VR on the street, lol?

[smoky token]

The simple answer is plot contrivance

[copper meadow]

Can someone rip the scope off commando and put on the bandit pls?

[forest lagoon]

Actually, that's not a bad idea

[smoky token]

I am not inclined to disagree

[fickle drift]

Why does it feel like the game is getting worse with every update? Any precision weapon is almost unusable. I have to empty half a sidekick mag on a one shots head to actually get the headshot

[candid solar]

Old age.

[timid thorn]

Is there a self promote chat ?

I hate to break it to you but sidekick is not a prescision weapon

[fickle drift]

Do I gotta be a certain level to post my art in show and tell?

[copper meadow]

Use imgur

[fickle drift]

Yeah. Just feel like none of my shots are registering

[copper meadow]

Desync or lag

I get the same issue. Even dying behind walls because of it

[blissful orbit]

Is it sad that Halo 4 was my first Halo campaign

[smoky token]

Not at all

[obsidian wyvern]

he's not Spartan

no*

[smoky token]

I think that was Ubernick’s first campaign as well

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think it was

I swear nick has been playing since before 4

[faint mantle]

Actually @obsidian wyvern thanks for killing Aegis

[smoky token]

I remember asking him something about it on stream once and he said (if I remember correctly) that it was the first halo game he really got into

[faint mantle]

You reminded me this project is due to return this month and I gotta ask why I haven't received a call

[obsidian wyvern]

wait

@hasty zinc you have to remind rok to remind merty

[faint mantle]

I already gave Rok the info he was looking for

[obsidian wyvern]

smH

[blissful orbit]

As a result I really really love Halo 4 no joke. Seeing it now I get it had its faults but still

Fun game

[smoky token]

I don’t see any reason for it to really be a joke! It’s a good game with a really well thought out story and world design

The Prometheans are cool enemies too

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe the first game he started streaming, I'll check later but I could've sworn he started before. you could be right

[blissful orbit]

Me and my cousin would always fight over who got the Binary Rifle haha

[obsidian wyvern]

(not fun to fight)

[smoky token]

(Correct)

[blissful orbit]

For sure!! The graphics are still beautiful to this day too

[smoky token]

Agreed, especially in 4K

[blissful orbit]

Oh yes

Halo 4 on MCC via PC is amazing

[regal chasm]

I like fighting the Promethean. At least, I don't "hate" it. Maybe i just got bad taste.

[blissful orbit]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves 4

[smoky token]

They are cool on every difficulty that isnt legendary

On legendary they are…

I can’t say that

[blissful orbit]

I had fun times with forge world too. One person would be using the grid and would fling me into outer space lmaoooo

[regal chasm]

Halo 4 just feel amazing on PC. Love being able to lqand my shot even outside of red reticle range.

[blissful orbit]

To those who hate Halo 4 I gotta ask. Why? Ik back then it was very looked down upon but now I think it’s seeing a resurgence

[novel pier]

I think its too different

[blissful orbit]

True but at least it wasn’t like 5

[novel pier]

It was kinda similar

[obsidian wyvern]

I lik5

[blissful orbit]

Never played 5 so idk I just go off of other opinions

[smoky token]

I recommend playing 5

[obsidian wyvern]

pfft dont be like that

[smoky token]

I think if you liked 4 then you will like 5

[blissful orbit]

I have yet to play Infinite too and I rlly want to

[novel pier]

i guess if you get the chance to play it then do

its not the best though

its kinda weird

[blissful orbit]

I hear it’s multiplayer was fun

[smoky token]

The campaign was fun too

[novel pier]

idk I havent played the multiplayer

[smoky token]

The story was arguably a bit odd but I encourage you to form your own opinion on it

Especially post-Infinite

[novel pier]

Yeah but it wasnt good

[smoky token]

I disagree

[obsidian wyvern]

the campaign was better than infinites

[blissful orbit]

Not to change subjects but which Halo game do you think had the best multiplayer? For me it’s easily Reach

[novel pier]

i agree with that

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll die on this hill

[novel pier]

Reach

[smoky token]

Infinite or 5 honestly

[obsidian wyvern]

reachs multiplayer is so damn low for me

[smoky token]

4 felt good but for the most part didn’t really fit with the halo formula

Vehicles were extremely weak too

[obsidian wyvern]

was it infinite weak thoufh

[regal chasm]

Halo 4 suffer the same issue as 5, being that it was obviously the first entry of a new sage that just never got an actual sequel.

[novel pier]

just like infinite, they are made of cardboard

[blissful orbit]

4 is fun for some casual matches

[obsidian wyvern]

everything in this game except the ghost is made of paper

[smoky token]

I think it’s just the fact that the damage multipliers on the weak spots are set so high

[obsidian wyvern]

how does

[smoky token]

I enjoy Infinite’s vehicles

[obsidian wyvern]

the wasp take 1 skewer shot but the ghost takes 2

[blissful orbit]

Isn’t it amazing that the Steam Deck can play all the Halo games

[smoky token]

If you shoot a ghost’s wing with the skewer, it one shots 😉

[blissful orbit]

Portable Halo

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

[blissful orbit]

I have MCC on my Steam Deck. Best thing ever

[novel pier]

they should put Halo CE on mobile I have a feeling its possible now

[smoky token]

It definitely is lol

[blissful orbit]

Honestly it should be

Heck maybe Halo 2 also

[novel pier]

Like how they have GTA trilogy on mobile

[blissful orbit]

Exactly

[obsidian wyvern]

not the anniversary right

[novel pier]

and they are from the same generation

[novel pier]

god no lol

[blissful orbit]

There was a Dead Space mobile game too at one point. It was its own thing and it was actually quite good

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah was gonna say

[blissful orbit]

Anniversary graphics suck so bad. Cutscenes are cool though but other than that 👎

[novel pier]

They are just a reused from reach

[smoky token]

I’m not a big fan of the anniversary edition of CE and most of the reason comes down to the lighting

[novel pier]

I had the Anniversary edition disc lol

[blissful orbit]

I’m currently on The Librarian level currently in CE and I can’t for the life of me get past it. Any tips?

[novel pier]

technically CEA is 343's first halo game

[blissful orbit]

True lol

[novel pier]

What difficulty?

[smoky token]

Ehh

Saber Interactive was contracted to do most of the work on it, 343 just oversaw development

[blissful orbit]

Normal. This is my first playthrough of the games aside from 4

Blind playthrough

[novel pier]

I think you just gotta take it slow

[languid wigeon]

shoot it them untill it they die.

but yeah take it slow

[novel pier]

there are some secret things you can pick up like shotguns

[blissful orbit]

I am but they keep coming. The Flood are so so annoying lol

[languid wigeon]

shotgun and magnum are the best weapons for it

[novel pier]

Use grenades to explode the fat guys

[blissful orbit]

Ok

[languid wigeon]

use grenades liberally

[novel pier]

It kills all the flood babies inside them

[languid wigeon]

you know, I really like the flood

really fun to fight and a good change of pace from the covies.

[novel pier]

I like ur usernames reference

[regal chasm]

Plasma rifle work well if you have no pistol avalaible. Still, the pistol does like 1.5x damage to flood so it's superior.

[blissful orbit]

I like how CE turns into a horror game

[novel pier]

Idk why they didnt add them back into infinite

[faint mantle]

Not on CE, gotta take note of that.

[languid wigeon]

plasma pistol is a beast in ce!

[faint mantle]

...and I don't remember if it's the same case in H2

[languid wigeon]

halo is t for teen now

[novel pier]

it doesnt? I always thought it did

[novel pier]

Halo Reach is a 16 in UK

[languid wigeon]

the suits decided it would sell better that way

[faint mantle]

Only on Halo 3 as far as I can remember. When carriers get to 1 HP in CE, they become invulnerable and begin their detonation sequence.

[smoky token]

What if I make them explode with rockets

[languid wigeon]

but three hundred and forty three industries has yet to create one new enemy type as fun to fight to replace them.

[novel pier]

yeah thats true

[faint mantle]

Same If() function.

[novel pier]

idk why they added back the skirmishers to infinite, makes no sense

[smoky token]

I just realized

Everyone still calls the Halo 2 launcher a “rocket launcher”

But it shoots missiles

It’s a missile launcher

I’ve been using the wrong terminology for years

[faint mantle]

They're Jackals with the Skirmisher rank, they're not actual T'vaoans

[novel pier]

its still kinda stupid

[smoky token]

Why?

[faint mantle]

I don't see why it's a bad decision.

[languid wigeon]

listen here jack, its called a rocket launcher in doom, so it's a rocket launcher in halo. Nobody cares about gun nerd stuff.

[regal chasm]

Kinda feel like a soft retcon but honestly I don't really mind.

[novel pier]

How can the Jackels be bouncing around and stuff when they are snipers and shield guys

Cowards

[smoky token]

Have you seen their physiology?

They are built for running

[languid wigeon]

skirmishers are good

[smoky token]

Fast, too

[regal chasm]

Remember how one pounced on a scientific in 4?

[novel pier]

oh yeah I member

[smoky token]

A scientific

I always tried to save that poor fella

[novel pier]

but they did make all the species weird in halo 4

[smoky token]

Yeah… they kinda did

[regal chasm]

Look I'm tired. I'm trying lol.

[novel pier]

they done massacred the Elites

[smoky token]

Makes sense from a gameplay perspective in some aspects but in terms of lore I still very much question some decisions about xenobiology

[languid wigeon]

that's reach's fault really

the hunkification of elites started there

really everything bad about halo is reach's fault

[novel pier]

whoops

[languid wigeon]

and I love reach!

[novel pier]

eeeeeh

they started with good ideas but halo 4 took those ideas and made them worse

[smoky token]

The reach elites were cool, but that was also when their design started to become much more… brutish, I guess?

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[forest lagoon]

I'm sorry what? Hunkification?

[smoky token]

He spittin though

[novel pier]

I think they made them look more like big huge warrior types instead of sleek ninja guys

[regal chasm]

Look at it this way. Human varies greatly in body shape and size. Who's to say the same doesn't apply to Elites.

Halo 4's Elites are just bigger.

[smoky token]

You are quoting a YouTuber but I can’t remember which one

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm not disagreeing

[novel pier]

Me?

[smoky token]

Yeah

It’s one of the few YouTuber opinions I actually agree with

Was it Act Man?

[forest lagoon]

That's a new one. Hunkification. Ok then

[novel pier]

He mustve possessed me

[languid wigeon]

I made it up. but I'm sure other's have made it up too.

[obsidian wyvern]

you cant be agreeing with actan, probably not

[novel pier]

Cuz I wasnt intentionally quoting anyone lol

[obsidian wyvern]

act man

[novel pier]

Acting male has some great takes

[smoky token]

It might have been Luc

I honestly can’t remember

[obsidian wyvern]

can't take act man seriously

[smoky token]

Don’t be disrespectful

[novel pier]

your not really supposed to, only sometimes

[languid wigeon]

action man is mostly bad takes from what ive seen

[novel pier]

I think hes funny tbh

[smoky token]

Funny, yes, sometimes, but some (most) of his takes give me a migraine

[languid wigeon]

I remember him crying about Cortana looking different in halo 5.

[regal chasm]

I have never seen an Halotube with a good take. In fact I have never seen anyone with a good take. I am the shining example of someone having good take.

[obsidian wyvern]

and last I saw luc, he just complains about everything.

• his Marty fanboying is kinda cringe

but the few lore videos I used to watch were pretty descriptive

[smoky token]

I did enjoy his lore vids

Met him and Ian in person at Outpost

Chill people

Just don’t agree with a lot of their opinions

[obsidian wyvern]

did you see Ian's jaw surgery pic

[smoky token]

I did not

[obsidian wyvern]

looked really rough lol

[novel pier]

I watch uh whos that guy again...

The guy with the two energy swords and the elite in the middle

[smoky token]

That’s who we are talking about

[novel pier]

HiddenXperia???

[smoky token]

HiddenXperia, aka Luc

[novel pier]

Lol I didnt know

[viral dune]

Honestly I'm the best halotuber out there

[obsidian wyvern]

that is luc

[novel pier]

I feel abit like an idiot now

[obsidian wyvern]

ok internet smh

[smoky token]

It’s fine

He doesn’t say his name on camera much

[novel pier]

nah I am (I posted like 3 halo infinite vids and thats it)

[obsidian wyvern]

you have to contest with Brett kingham

[viral dune]

Who that

[obsidian wyvern]

imperiumm

[languid wigeon]

vadam is the best

[obsidian wyvern]

for like the past year, he's been the only halo youtuber I've watched
https://youtu.be/knDYNor4CkE

[balmy tundra]

guys, installation 00 exists

[obsidian wyvern]

didn't one of them quit

[balmy tundra]

how can you be so incorrect

[balmy tundra]

i dunno, i just watch lore vids

[regal chasm]

I do like his mod showcase videos.

Personally I miss the CE3 events the community used to make. Those were always great to watch.

[viral dune]

Ok I'll just post all the clips i have

[novel pier]

what u guys know about Rocket Sloth

[viral dune]

I appeared in a rocket sloth video once

[obsidian wyvern]

they have terrible takes on twitter so I don't watch their videos

[novel pier]

Yooo which one?

[novel pier]

videos are good to have running as background noise tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

this was one of the funniest

[novel pier]

besides I dont use twitter

[novel pier]

what was number 3 lol

[viral dune]

https://youtu.be/3VfRvEsZ4Ng this one, i forgot the timestamp but he's talking about the plasma pistol
