[viral dune]

Ye

[fossil skiff]

I’ve tried on infinite but no luck yet

[viral dune]

You can get splattered by the pelicans

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[fossil skiff]

Oh I’ve seen pelican splatters. Just not drop pod splatters

[viral dune]

Oh, i think those don't do anything

[hasty zinc]

https://youtu.be/xijHsUUTu6U?t=46

[smoky token]

this video is awesome

[fossil skiff]

Wow that is amazing. The sheer luck.

[rare cedar]

I've gotten a kill by using the pods

[viral dune]

I've accidentally killed myself with one of those things.. i think

[queen remnant]

Oh god I remember doing that once back then LOL

[fossil skiff]

What would the name of a medal for that be?

X marks the spot?

[bronze breach]

I had an ordanance error once on breaker. The spartan voiceover said something along the lines of ordanance error and then there were quite a few drops on random places.

Anyone else had it?

[fossil skiff]

Only thing I’ve heard of is the rare “massive munitions drop incoming” thing where it spams pods full of OS, camo, etc

[simple wave]

With frank leaving, where will halo go now?

[fossil skiff]

Actually had it happen for the first time in months last week

[bronze breach]

Wonder what triggers it or just random

[fossil skiff]

I think it’s random…just reallly small chance of happening

Would be fun if it happened on the other maps.

[regal chasm]

Remind me of when that happened.

[fickle drift]

Wait, I got a question, why did the ODST coating disappear already?

[bronze breach]

Did it?

[fickle drift]

I was just about to buy it

[fossil skiff]

“New contact slipping in! Unknown classification!”

[queen remnant]

New speedrun technique

[fossil skiff]

And it was on that day that the Scorpion had finally beaten Gravity.

[viral dune]

Reminds me of one time i ground pounded a hunter in that level and i was sent flying

[bronze breach]

Didnt think the coating was a daily item. Odd

[viral dune]

I was using some skulls and grappled the ground at a weird angle so i guess that's how

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL

so half life is just the flood 2.0?

[viral dune]

Yes

[regal chasm]

Inb4 someone complain because of HD models.

[fickle drift]

This time I'm kinda mad, you set expectations for that item to be half week reset, I waited and now it's gone

[bronze breach]

Yeah, I can understand. It didnt even had a daily tag either

[fossil skiff]

Maybe someone messed up on the other end? Idk.

[hasty zinc]

weird, that slot is usually a weekly slot. My bet is that it wasn't supposed to change since it shows epsilon winter as NEW when it's not

[queen remnant]

Seems an accident or something

[fossil skiff]

I’ll blame Iratus

[frozen gazelle]

yeah half-life (1998) really ripped off halo: combat evolved (2001). Actually pretty sad how much fame the HL series got when it stole its main ideas :(

[hasty zinc]

yeah def not on purpose I would bet

[queen remnant]

Sooo I would put a ticket just in case

[fickle drift]

Half-life ruined halo tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

oops lol

[regal chasm]

Atleast Bungie had the decency of giving us an Halo 3.😔

[copper meadow]

I miss ordinances

We should have that but for vehicles in infinite

[regal chasm]

Also Revenant, you got Opposing Force too right?

[obsidian wyvern]

what's that

[fickle drift]

Lol imagine if Halo ended at Halo 2 and we never got a resolution to the cliffhanger

[ivory sandal]

hi

[amber mirage]

Half Life expansion pack, i think

[ivory sandal]

anyone wanna do duos?

[obsidian wyvern]

I just got 1 and 2

[ivory sandal]

oh

[fickle drift]

I love those games

[regal chasm]

OF is a standalone expansion pack. It's a 10/10 game if you end up liking Half Life 1

[fickle drift]

They have a very special place in my heart

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll def give it a go when I get round to it

saying I enjoy these games

[fickle drift]

Also try Black Mesa after completing the first game

It's a fan remake that does a solid job at remixing it

[regal chasm]

If you do like it, you'd be glad to know there's like years worth of mods out there.

[fickle drift]

Tons and tons

[obsidian wyvern]

omg I didn't realise this game had jumpdcsres

[regal chasm]

How far along are you actually?

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm still in the facility after the experiment went wronf

this Einstein looking scientist looks mad suspicious

[hardy storm]

I never finished Half-Life. I should probably get on that, its a crime at this point.

[fickle drift]

Come on man, you just gotta play it

[hasty zinc]

did you finish Infinite LASO rev?

[obsidian wyvern]

no, it's not as easy as I thought lol

[hasty zinc]

smh

[regal chasm]

I think it was one of my first fps. ||Pirated|| it at some point when I was a kid. Wish could play it blind again.

[hasty zinc]

you can, just throw acid in your eyes (or just wear a blindfold)

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm

I think I was supposed to save someone but I let them die

[hardy storm]

Good

[obsidian wyvern]

so now I'm stuck lol

[fickle drift]

What part are you at again?

I've played Half-Life over and over again so I can help

[fickle drift]

Oh, you don't need to keep him alive

[obsidian wyvern]

oh great

[hasty zinc]

use the crowbar to wallrun on the right side

[fickle drift]

But if you do, you get extra ammo

[obsidian wyvern]

welp

[regal chasm]

You shoul have saved the guard. He would have unlocked the door for you and you would have gotten a shotgun.

[fickle drift]

Might as well re-do the checkpoint

No, you already get the shotgun

[obsidian wyvern]

I have a shotgun already

but how do I redo checkpoints

[regal chasm]

But you progress by jumping off the cat walk. At least i think.

[fickle drift]

The way to get to the next part is to jump through the window of the flooded room and get to the vent

[obsidian wyvern]

oh I gotta do that again

[regal chasm]

You can actualy save at any time. Quicksave and load should be f5 and f6 I think? Better check your settings.

[obsidian wyvern]

may have cut myself

[hasty zinc]

into pieces?

[fickle drift]

Oh that part lol

[obsidian wyvern]

yep

[regal chasm]

I heard the sound just from this pic lol.

[obsidian wyvern]

quick load I assume

[fickle drift]

Make sure you crouch

[regal chasm]

Don't worry. ||Once the Marines arrive and help you fight the aliens, everything get easier.||

[fickle drift]

They're a huge help

[regal chasm]

Currently playing the Halo 4 reflow mod. Im surprised that now one else used H2A asset in 4 for mods yet.

[frozen gazelle]

f6 and f7 by default

[frozen gazelle]

|| ||

[smoky token]

HECU <3

[obsidian wyvern]

what do I do if my suit is on low power lol, I'm on 1%

[smoky token]

Power just helps with negating damage

[regal chasm]

You know how the wall mounted chargers work?

[smoky token]

find a battery like a health pickup or a wall charger

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[regal chasm]

You won't die if your power reach zero. It's basically armor.

[obsidian wyvern]

ah ok

[regal chasm]

You will take much more damage tho.

[smoky token]

A little more damage

not that much

[regal chasm]

Nevermind the mod is bad. They removed the "Thought you'd be taller" line. Smh grow some thick skin.

[smoky token]

it just helps block damage

[frozen gazelle]

i dont remember how the damage formula in goldsrc hl works

i only remember BM

[smoky token]

goldsrc and source HL both use the same damage formula

[frozen gazelle]

really?

i thought suit power was nerfed in source

[smoky token]

Really the only major change is with some physics stuff and a water shader

[obsidian wyvern]

omg I figured it out

I didn't realise you could move a box

[smoky token]

I dont blame you lol

[obsidian wyvern]

and I just witnessed that scientist get obliterated by a turret

[frozen gazelle]

ok so in hl1, apparently you take 20%, the suit takes 40%, and the remaining 40%...vanishes into the aether i guess

[amber mirage]

I remember something similar in HL2 got me stuck because I was not expecting them to make a puzzle out of water displacement.

[smoky token]

that was a fun one

[amber mirage]

I think I was stuck on that for about an hour

[obsidian wyvern]

huuh

I'll keep that in mind once I finish this

[amber mirage]

You should because the game sure didn't tell me to look out for it.

[smoky token]

the things were big and blue in a relatively drab and propless area

it should have been obvious

[obsidian wyvern]

my ally basically just killed me hahagdgah

I'm on 2hp after he shot me several times

[amber mirage]

I noticed them. I just wasn't expecting them to be part of a puzzle involving water displacement.

[smoky token]

What ally?

[amber mirage]

It was the first puzzle in the game too, I think. I was not expecting a puzzle game.

[obsidian wyvern]

the gusrd

[regal chasm]

Now that I think about it, you do know wooden crates often have ammo, health and power right?

[smoky token]

amongst other things...

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah ive been breaking them

this game is brutal lmao

witnessed 2 people get crushed in a vent

[shy spire]

Grunt.exe

[smoky token]

The whole backdrop of the lore is Earth being plunged into a war with an alien empire that ends up being so brutal that we as a species surrender after a mere 7 hours

[fickle drift]

So cool

[smoky token]

After that they proceed to assimilate us into their ranks, depriving us of all of our free will and modifying us in the most horrific ways possible

[fickle drift]

The lore in that series really leaves a lot to the imagination, that's partly why I like it so much

[smoky token]

Google what the Half Life 2 stalker looks like

or what a Half Life Alyx grunt looks like without a helmet

[cedar turret]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-running-beta-half-life2-gif-19730760

Don’t even need to Google

[steep hazel]

oh god half life the other revolutionary shooter amazing banger game

[peak parrot]

Can I get some info on something? Why is there a Matte Black Master Chief? Is it like, for an anniversary, or something?

[muted rose]

You mean mjolnir black?

[amber mirage]

Are you talking about the Fortnite skin?

[peak parrot]

Yeah, what's it represent?

[amber mirage]

It's an alt style for playing on an Xbox Series console.

[peak parrot]

Is it- is it just a funny style, or is there meaning behind it?

[amber mirage]

No real meaning that I know of

[peak parrot]

I know it is, I have it, I just dunno why it's a thing, other than a loyalty reward

[frozen gazelle]

exactly

it's a loyalty reward

[peak parrot]

Alright then, cool

[amber mirage]

It's like with the Aloy skin where it gets an alt style for playing on PS5.

[peak parrot]

Well, that one's based off an armor you unlock in the DLC of the main game

So I was wondering if the same was for this Master Chief style

[amber mirage]

Well, if there's any meaning, it's lost on me.

[frozen gazelle]

makes me think that a HEV suit style skin would be cool

like for MCC cause its on steam

[peak parrot]

Woah, rlly? That sounds awesome

Oh, wow, just looked it up

That thing looks incredible

[steep hazel]

Completely unrelated but due to the mention of the series consoles just had to say I’m personally just amazed at how powerful the Series S is for its size and price, the fact it can run cyberpunk at 60fps pretty well is just astonishing, absolutely amazing budget console and convenient for traveling on the go as well

[peak parrot]

I wouldn't know, I don't have a Series S, or X... but man, I'd like to get one

[amber mirage]

Series S is a pretty good console on a budget. Honestly, all of the console this gen are.

[peak parrot]

"BUT HOW DO YOU HAVE MATTE BLACK MEMSBHRHR CHEFDF-"
Didn't say I got it from the Series S, or X, just said I got it.

I earned it from playing on Xbox Mobile Gaming

Waiting for someone to catch me on that, sorry-

[amber mirage]

I think Xbox Cloud Gaming uses Series X consoles on the remote servers, so that would explain it.

[frozen gazelle]

but how do you have matte black master chief

[steep hazel]

Yeah exactly, I’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get into this gen but doesn’t want to shell out too much

[frozen gazelle]

i wish i had the cash to have all the current gen consoles

[peak parrot]

Okay, can you dm me a sec?

[steep hazel]

Sure what’s up?

[shy spire]

Fun

[peak parrot]

I wanna get the pros and cons, as a guy who has the previous generation, and wants to upgrade

[frozen gazelle]

i just have a switch and pc, and its nice cause i can play pretty much every game im interested in, but kinda :(

[steep hazel]

Oh yeah sure

Gotcha I got the ps5 and series s I can give you that

[amber mirage]

Pros, they run all your games but better, and let you play even more games on top of that.

[molten pelican]

one flag can either be the longest grind ever, or a steaktaculer. never in between

[muted rose]

Series X is quite the upgrade from a Xbox one. It’s able to run a lot of games my one struggled with running, much smoother and much more efficient.

I got mine for just 700$ along with a headset, controller and controller jacket.

One of the biggest upgrades I noticed was for infinite. Crashes got much rarer, and frame rates improved a lot. Game just got quicker overall

[meager rover]

If you get all digital games just get a series s if you wanna have an unrestricted experience with more to do get a gaming pc or steam deck

[muted rose]

Steam deck would def be better, I want to get a pc for CS and project zomboid but my parents would never let me

Strategy games also are much better on pc.

[obsidian wyvern]

woah

[round laurel]

Pros: Games load faster, look better, play better.
Con: Other than a few select games, there still aren't many Series S/X and PS5 games which take full advantage of the hardware, as they're still tethering on to the previous generation.

[static bridge]

I don’t know if I should say something because I’m honestly intimidated by y’all’s profile pictures

[muted rose]

Boo

[static bridge]

lol

[muted rose]

Honestly you can say whatever. I’ve seen some horrendous takes here and people are way more patient then Reddit or YouTube

(As long it’s within the rules)

[static bridge]

Oh ok

[round laurel]

Don't worry I don't look like that IRL.

[static bridge]

I know

[muted rose]

I am a missing in action cybernetically engineered super soldier irl

[obsidian wyvern]

where can I find you

[static bridge]

Honestly that made me laugh a little bit because I don’t know if I should believe that or not

[muted rose]

I’m MIA, nobody knows where to find me

I don’t know where to find me

[static bridge]

One answer… anywhere

[hardy storm]

Says the guy with the drip jacket

[muted rose]

One could also say I’m a scary bench

[static bridge]

🤨 bench?

[muted rose]

Take it as you will

The name is equally as confounding to me

[static bridge]

Makes sense 👍

Honestly I think I achieved master chief’s speed irl

[muted rose]

You can run at 32km per hour?

[static bridge]

Miles my friend miles

[muted rose]

20 mph?

[left bone]

im hoarding all this cardboard

and i dont know what to do with it

[viral dune]

Hi hoarding all this cardboard, I'm Icky Spartan

[static bridge]

More than that my friend

[muted rose]

You cannot run 60mph.

[left bone]

🥹

[muted rose]

Your legs would burn in atmosphere.

[static bridge]

I can run 40 mph

[steady jolt]

The current record for fastest runner is about 27mph

[viral dune]

I can run at 47 km/h

[round laurel]

Are you a 'cop' by any chance?

[left bone]

inb4 someone does saitama's training irl

[static bridge]

Bru I’m thirteen years old my friend

[muted rose]

That’s incredible

[round laurel]

Well that rules out Skynet being real, I guess

[static bridge]

But I am thinking of going into law enforcement

[muted rose]

He really is the next Husain bolt

Inside joke reversed

It is now an outside joke

[static bridge]

Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[muted rose]

I can run 48 mph

[static bridge]

Nice

[cedar turret]

The only place any of you guys can run is straight into a wall

[steady jolt]

Lmao

[left bone]

i run through wa-

now, me personally

[viral dune]

With my lag i can just phase through it

[muted rose]

I am not “stupid” I am “built different.”

[static bridge]

Honestly give me a sniper and since I’m really observant I can see things smaller than an ant

[round laurel]

Let's not give a 13 year old a sniper.

[molten pelican]

heh silly mortals I can run 500mph

[molten pelican]

def 100%

[static bridge]

Cap🧢

[molten pelican]

No no thats an underestimate one day I ran next to my friends Bugatti and got 505mph

(he had turbo)

[static bridge]

😳

How!

[molten pelican]

I practiced for years and got rly good at sprinting and studied the way master chief ran

I have rly good genetics so dont compare yourself to me its okay

[static bridge]

[molten pelican]

40mph for a kid isnt too bad thats pretty good i only ran 30 when I was your age

[static bridge]

🤨

[static bridge]

One time I ran so fast that I sprained my ankle

Ow

[molten pelican]

I never ran that fast for that too happen you might be faster who knows

[static bridge]

I sprained it as soon as I tried stopping myself

But now I feel better than before

[molten pelican]

yep rookie mistake when I broke 100 I hurt my wrist bc I stopped myself via a wall

[meager rover]

Good thing about the steam deck is I can also play almost any halo game except for 5 unless I install windows

[static bridge]

Oof

[molten pelican]

its def wrong. they just dont want us to succeed

[molten pelican]

yeah it hurt but I bounced back

[static bridge]

Sigma

[molten pelican]

yeah and that day I got my 500kg deadlift so 👌🏻

[static bridge]

Nice

[molten pelican]

fr fr

nice talking to you master drip hope I could inspire or motivate

[static bridge]

Honestly one time when I went to school with a sprained ankle I thought it through and started doing one leg push ups

[molten pelican]

one leg ?

[static bridge]

Yes one leg

[molten pelican]

oh just wait til you get to leggless pushups those are so hard I can do about 137

[molten pelican]

thats insane

[round laurel]

Halo Infinite runs at 30 FPS?

[static bridge]

One of my friends literally called me a sigma for doing push ups with one leg

[molten pelican]

well deserved Idk anyone who can do one legged pushups

gtg now master drip you have a nice night

[static bridge]

Good night

[gritty ibex]

Hello

[sturdy hedge]

This bandit challange is suffering. never before have i used a weapon i hated this much

[gritty ibex]

Dang rip

[sturdy hedge]

i get the idea but execution is not it

[round laurel]

If you're having difficulty with the Bandit, you could try pairing it with a Pulse Carbine or Plasma Pistol.

[left bone]

i wonder if infinite's going to have some sort of 'egyptian' styled event

[gritty ibex]

Eh

[sturdy hedge]

main issue is it fails hard against the Assault rifle in a head on fight for me

[gritty ibex]

Infinite in my opinion is ok, it’s got a somewhat good story

[left bone]

it'd be cool though

[round laurel]

Well yes, if you're fighting an AR user at their optimal range you're likely going to lose, even if they're a potato.

EDIT: Turns out that the Bandit has a faster optimal TTK than the AR's optimal TTK. Although hitting a perfect each and every time requires skill the average user won't have.

[gritty ibex]

I just wish they did more with Cortana’s character

[sturdy hedge]

suppose i'm just too spoiled by what the pistol can do

[gritty ibex]

Pistol is good

[left bone]

halo 5 flashbacks

[gritty ibex]

lol

[ivory spade]

pistil is strong up close but the bandit does have it's advantages at range so it's a reasonable change

[sturdy hedge]

favorite will still be the halo ce pistol

[leaden juniper]

Well yeah that might as well be an anti material hand cannon

[ivory spade]

i just wish they would give the commando a few more rounds in the mag...

[leaden juniper]

It once did I thought

24 to be exact

[sturdy hedge]

its either the smallest rifle or the biggest pistol

[gritty ibex]

Explosives 🙂

[ivory spade]

commando feels like a bigger pistol lol

weaker, but more shooty

[sturdy hedge]

suppose for now i'll try using ar and swap to bandit to finish off

[gritty ibex]

I’ve never played halo before I just watch people play the game :/

[round laurel]

Playing it is more fun

[sturdy hedge]

Original one is quite an adrenaline rush on campaign and multiplayer

[gritty ibex]

Prob

[ivory spade]

why would u watch when u can play

[gritty ibex]

I don’t got money XD

[ivory spade]

game is free

[sturdy hedge]

just be wary of suffering on some levels like Halo Ce library

[gritty ibex]

It is???

[sturdy hedge]

infinite has free multiplayer

[ivory spade]

lol yes halo infinite multiplayer is FREE

[gritty ibex]

oh

Alr

[sturdy hedge]

campaign you have to pay for

[cedar turret]

that's what I said about juggling chainsaws.

[ivory spade]

have to pay to play the campaign tho

[sturdy hedge]

sadly they dont reward us master chiefs armor for beating campaign

[gritty ibex]

Rip

[sturdy hedge]

that would be a great incentive to do laso challanges on infinite

[left bone]

chainsaw man

[ivory spade]

im maybe half way thru campaign and so far it's gotten me some vehicle skins

[gritty ibex]

Nice

[ivory spade]

kinda sad that you cant get skins for covenant vehicles tho

[sturdy hedge]

lore prospective its understandable cause covenant gear

i dont think they ever customize their gear

[ivory spade]

also apparently the repulsor is not in the campaign? i'm not thru it yet but there's no space for it in the upgrade screen

if it's not there then whoever made that decision really sucks. the repulsor is so much fun. taking it out is just lame

[gritty ibex]

…

Wha

[rare pine]

?

[ivory spade]

this game's development is tortured lol

probably has a lot to do with it bein free

[left bone]

k

[round laurel]

Calm down

[ivory spade]

u first

[round laurel]

Oh no, you got me

[leaden juniper]

Well, not wrong to a certain extent. The games development was troubled to be sure

[eager mango]

Goodnight:)

[gritty ibex]

Gn

[molten pelican]

just missed a step on my stairs and saw my life flash before my eyes

now I am unsatisfied. I want more in my life I want to become my best self possible

[hasty zinc]

how much Halo was in it?

[molten pelican]

Jun was laughing idk what that means

[ivory spade]

well if you get wrecked by some stairs you it ain't gonna happen. be careful lol

[gritty ibex]

N depending the healing because they are good at healing other wise master chief because his armor will protect him

K I responded to something that was sent in 2021

[molten pelican]

did that once lol

i swear if i hear the PEACHES SONG ONE MORE TIME

[gritty ibex]

Lol

[ivory spade]

(peaches for free)

[gritty ibex]

Lol

[dreamy stirrup]

Let's not do that pls

[gritty ibex]

Alr

My apologies

[copper meadow]

At least it’s not as bad as the “one piece is real” parody

[sturdy hedge]

what song?

[left bone]

can we get much higher

so hiiigh

[sturdy hedge]

just 2 more bandit kills and i can finally put this weapon away

[ivory spade]

probably: The Presidents of the United States of America - Peaches

[cedar turret]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GCrzjVdmSg&ab_channel=ThePresidentsoftheUnitedStatesofAmerica

[steady jolt]

Great song

[cedar turret]

definitely a throw back.

[steady jolt]

Lump was also a good one

[safe dawn]

Hi?

[cedar turret]

I have a story related to that one.

[weary hound]

[sturdy hedge]

i see

also i noticed EVA type helmets are pretty populat. USed to be no one wanted to touch em in halo 3 cause of how bright it is

[molten pelican]

wort wort

[supple hazel]

I feel like eva c just got ruined by every edgy teenager ever

Other helmets could have looked menacing as heck but eva c was the go to

[molten pelican]

no one plays objective on stockpile😔

got the bandit challenge in two matches tho nice lol

[smoky token]

BIOS engineers hate this one trick

[steady jolt]

[fossil skiff]

Fancy

[safe dawn]

Wat

What did you unplug???

[smoky token]

CMOS battery

[hearty flame]

My computer bricked one day and wouldn't turn on. I checked everything in my skeleton kit one by one and was so puzzled. It wasn't till then that I learned that the CMOS battery can cause issues like that. Threw a new batter in and it powered right on.

[faint mantle]

You get TWO fans?!

[crude marsh]

Nakey computers

[fossil skiff]

[smoky token]

You get a nice Kingston SSD, don’t complain

And proper copper coldpipes

And at least double my RAM (if I had to guess)

And a lot of IO

I want to get a 2x16 kit sometime in the future, my line of work sometimes demands it.

[hearty flame]

Same

I have 4x8 in my PC rn

[faint mantle]

The only downside is that my favorite RAM manufacturer discontinued DDR4 gaming memory, so I'll have to get it at an inflated price.

And I still need to figure out what to do with my current sticks

[hearty flame]

EVGA stopped making GPUs so my 3080's value is going up

[smoky token]

I love crucial but I have g.skill memory in my PC

[hearty flame]

I, too, have been stolen from a truck and ended up in Vietnam

[smoky token]

Looks prettier and I’m not one for overclocking so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hearty flame]

My allies from Somaliland sent for me though

[faint mantle]

I have 1hr 20m left in my day

I wonder if I should try to install this now

[hearty flame]

M.2s are easy to install as long as you have the riser for it

Unless you're installing to an Xbox or something idk if the Series consoles take M.2

[faint mantle]

Nah it's to the PC

[cedar turret]

too difficult

[faint mantle]

The trickiest part will be to take out the GPU

And now I'm wondering if I should just clone the drive with a reader I bought, or just reinstall Windows 11 altogether.

[smoky token]

Do you not have a second m.2 slot?

Or are you on mATX

[faint mantle]

I have a second slot, yes

The currently installed M.2 has PCIe 3.0 tech while this new one is PCIe 4.0.

So I want to use that.

[hearty flame]

So you're swapping the slots

[faint mantle]

Swapping and adding a new one, yes

[hearty flame]

4.0 in your main and 3.0 in your second?

[faint mantle]

Exactly

[hearty flame]

Yeah makes sense

[faint mantle]

Just as the founding manufacturers intended

[smoky token]

Swapping to a new SSD on m.2_1 would also involve reinstalling windows and moving all your files, I would just wait for tomorrow

[fossil skiff]

You see tomorrow’s launch news? 👀

[hearty flame]

That only applies if Merty doesn't have a boot drive installed

I have 6 drives on my PC, a 240 boot drive with Windows and root directories for things like Steam, then 5 drives for content

[faint mantle]

Or cloning, which is what I'm debating

[smoky token]

Cloning is only good if you have some premium enterprise software

Otherwise you get data corruption

Or just loss in general

[faint mantle]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[smoky token]

True…

[hearty flame]

Just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, how hard can it be?

[smoky token]

What I like to do is just back everything up on a separate drive and spend the night moving it all back while sleeping

In other words, ctrl+c ctrl+v

[faint mantle]

Well that's where I'm #builtdifferent

I use OneDrive's 1 TB to back up my stuff, so it's a lot easier for me.

[smoky token]

I would probably do the same if I had fiber

Alas, Comcast enjoys screwing me over

[faint mantle]

I already have the salvageable stuff mapped out

[smoky token]

11?

[faint mantle]

Drivers for Win 11 too

[smoky token]

Don’t think I’m going to upgrade until probably 12

Or whatever the next version is

[hearty flame]

2022-04-27 14_58_26-.png is a picture of Merty shaking John Halo's hand

I just know it

[faint mantle]

Change the timestamp to 2023-04-29 and it'll be true

[hearty flame]

Poggers, I hope you enjoy that

Hey is anyone online right now

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[fickle drift]

Nevermind they didnt

[fickle drift]

awake again, time to grind the last 38 levels of the battlepass. maybe i get it done in under 30hrs

[rare cedar]

you know you have like 45+ days to finish it

[fickle drift]

i started 21hrs ago with about 9hrs of sleep, im at level 62 now, I should be able to pull this off

[cedar turret]

You should go out and look at the sky

[hollow summit]

I left my 💘 in the sierra madre

[fossil skiff]

Get a bird feeder too. It’s fun watching the different kinds of birds show up.

[cedar turret]

The Audubon society is recruiting

[fickle drift]

nah

its 6 in the moring so there is only darkness anyway

lvl 64

[fossil skiff]

But sunrise

[cedar turret]

So they got rid of the moon and the stars?

That’s a shame. The moon owed me twenty eight dollars

[fossil skiff]

Took the day off

[cedar turret]

All but one of them work nights

[fickle drift]

mate i live in a city

not on farmland where u can watch stars
ever heard of light pollution? you cant see anything but a hazy dark nothingness from the mass of lights reflected in the atmosphere.

[broken mantle]

I never actually been in a city been in the outskirts of St. Louis

[forest lagoon]

Sadge.
I can only see a handful of stars near me but a good bit is there and I can make out major constellations most nights. A little further out and the more spectacular it gets

[fickle drift]

i just found a new thing
bc i scrub over my tablewide mousecloth, i kinda rub my skin off on the wrist
grabbed one of my gf satin gloves that have just these finger loops on them and booooi do you slide with that on the wrist

[fickle drift]

my god i finally found out why i had such bulls deaths around corners and behind cover or meleeing an enemy, hearing the thud of my fist in their face only to then hear their first in my face while they already ragdoll

Like why would i wanna play on Malaysian or Seattle server when im in Europe

[south epoch]

Anyone else get bad stuttering and freezing for .5 seconds or so when playing mcc?

Idk if it’s just the game being old but I be playing halo 2 with bad stuttering

[fickle drift]

okay since i switched to local search i get no game at all... wonderful

[rare cedar]

That’s not the problem (game being old) rather it may be your setup. If you’re on PC, it would be great if you submit a ticket so the dev team gets an idea of what the problem is and they’ll get a better understanding.

[fickle drift]

level 70 with a break due to local servers apparently not existing at all

[rare cedar]

Is there anything positive you’re going to post, Calisota, or is it going to be all negative

[glad aspen]

finished this thing
the story sucks but the coop is one of the best experience i had in halo

[fickle drift]

well there is a lot wrong with the game and we all know it. but whats so negative about passing levels after level in the battlepass?
and yes its quite annoying that i have to play on NA servers when i sit in germany

[rare cedar]

I commend you going through the battle pass tiers with ease, but we have a thing here where negative comments are allowed, but with constructive feedback. I’m aware of the issues in the game too but I post them in feedback tickets so the dev team can makes things better 🙂

[fickle drift]

also i just found a wallhacker, thought it was fishy how he never walked aimless around on that large and pretty unorthodox maplayout, turns out in theater that while he did try to mask his sneaky looks at where the enemys spawned, he did a few sussy snaps and one in particular was fascinating. you see he climbed an otherwise very useless bulge on a wall and aimed right at one of our teammates through a tiny fence at the other side of the map and fired his BR once, only to find out that there was still 2 walls between them

[golden meteor]

does anyone know if halo mcc is going to get any new updates?

[steady jolt]

Yes, but there's no eta right now

[golden meteor]

good to know thx. yea its been quite a while since the last halo mcc update so i was just curious

[fickle drift]

Borgor

[sudden trout]

How can I tweak a game to my liking that's meant for the custom game browser. There's no options to choose anything besides 6 maps and the name of the session. Meanwhile in custom games you can tweak a lot of things such as shields, weapons, damage and so on but it doesn't get hosted in the server browser.

[hearty spire]

Jackals

Skirmishers

Drone

[obsidian wyvern]

is there one for legendary

[ivory spade]

i got some constructive feedback : stop putting this stupid popup in my face telling me to buy a damn battlepass after every match

i gave you $30 for the single player campaign. you should leave me alone now

[fickle drift]

[static bridge]

You all are still talking so flipping early in the morning?

[fossil skiff]

Morning is relative

Well, timezones exist.

Eastern Standard Time is the universal time, time zones no longer exist you are all up early.

That is objective fact

[smoky wraith]

[wraith vapor]

is this THE halo forums now?

Im a 34 year old OG of the Bungie forums. Just realized 343 doesnt have forums anymore.

[fossil skiff]

Thanks :0

[pulsar cobalt]

Discord is the main place now I think

[wraith vapor]

damn, I have no clue how to navigate this place lmao

like its a continuous chat instead of topics? im so lost

[hasty zinc]

so this is general chat, you have #halo-discussion where yes it's just a continuous chat and you have #1076337363770417172 or #1039633978841374720 which are forum type threads

[wraith vapor]

ooooh I see the chat symbol next to the "forum" style sections

[fossil skiff]

Dude Electron just announced a new suborbital rocket

“HASTE”

[wraith vapor]

I think all of these rockets are a joke. our gov has had other means of propulsion for decades.

[smoky token]

Discord is really more of an instant messaging platform

Less of a forum

The Steam forums still exist, but afaik all the Waypoint forums have been shut down

[wraith vapor]

thanks for the clarification Titan, i have been awol from halo forums since 343 took the helm.

lets call it a "forced vacation" from the forums. I voiced my opinions about the trajectory of 343 and their trend chasing focus group games YEARS ago and it ruffled alot of feathers then. I wonder how all of those posts would have aged now..... lol

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Snow in mid-April is always a perfect start to the work week.

[fickle drift]

[neon zephyr]

i need help, halo masterchief collection won't work for some reason.
i was playing halo for the first time and i liked it a lot, but then i had a power cut on my house and my computer turned off. i turned it back on and it now says ''one or more members of your party are not allowerd to play this game'' when i try to continue the campaign of halo reach. and when i try to make a new one it just tells me i don't have the DLC and tells me to download it again. i tried it and it just doesn't do anything

it tells me to wait and gives an error

[hasty zinc]

pressurization issue 😦

[neon zephyr]

wait wtf why it worked just after i sent this message

why

i stayed the entire day trying to fix this

reinstalled the game and tried everything and it didn't work

it only worked after i asked for help

how is that even possible

oh well i guess i don't need help anymore

[fossil skiff]

I’m glad John is commentating on this. He’s a cool guy

[floral pollen]

I have returned (sorta)

Still no internet at my house, so I'm at my grandparents today

Mostly anyway

[obsidian wyvern]

[tardy pike]

Can't get through the first level on easy yet 🥹

[smoky token]

Simply don’t use the D20s

[hasty zinc]

the shotgun is so annoying to use in that mod lol

[smoky token]

It’s also one of the only viable weapons in the mod

I played on normal with a friend

Got a Wart God on Halo (the level) and cruised through the whole thing with a turret that blew up half the map with a single shot

[hasty zinc]

I got lucky and D20'd some flood then had them kill everything then got an oof D20 and killed all the flood

[faint mantle]

@hasty zinc yesterday I played the song 117 over the last part of Metro Exodus

Who did 4’s soundtrack?

[faint mantle]

The behind the scenes ViDoc on H4's soundtrack is really cool

Shows you how much time and effort went into it

117 is the one that plays when you get that mantis right?

No, when you're on the Broadsword under the Didact's shields.

Halo 2 will always be my favorite

Just something about the campaign makes me like it

[rare cedar]

No Halo 3 love?

[hasty zinc]

of course not

[frozen crystal]

Halo 3 is the goat

I will say Halo 2 had the best quotes

[fickle drift]

I love halo 3 as well it’s my second favorite

[hasty zinc]

Nah H3 had the best quotes. Miranda had some 🔥 lines

[frozen crystal]

To war

[fickle drift]

adding more types of reactions was a genius idea, didnt think about it

we should get sam to ping everyone replying to his message LOL

That would end badly I think

[obsidian wyvern]

how could it, everyone wins a free mcc copy

[floral pollen]

I dunno, my brain ain't working

[wraith vapor]

any news on halo MCC on Xbox getting mods?

[leaden juniper]

Likely not happening bro, pc is simply more open to that

[faint mantle]

Xbox modding is not allowed

[wraith vapor]

well fallout pulled it off years ago. with steam workshop support and all I thought the trend was heading that way. just checking.

merty, it totally on Skyrim console edition

not fallout. I misspoke

[faint mantle]

Cool

[leaden juniper]

Yeah well technically fallout was strictly a Bethesda implementation because it wasn't run through Nexus or ModDB or anything it was strictly a first party mod distribution platform

[wraith vapor]

cool. didnt know. its at least possible but apparently not in the works.

[leaden juniper]

Yeah it's possible in terms of technicality but besides the existing websites steam workshop is typically only implemented on games that are pc focused or only on pc

[wraith vapor]

i hope maps get pulled at the very least and brought over. the coag halo 3 version has me salivating

[leaden juniper]

The best you could do would be to get the PC version

[wraith vapor]

i know. i have a pc i use only for modeling. i run a toy business and 3d print my stuff. I just like the ease of console.

[leaden juniper]

Black ops 3 did get workshop support but this of course made sense when you look at the track record of cod zombies modding, they just added the devtools to BO3 so it was quite straightforward

[wraith vapor]

never knew that either. I dropped off on COD after the first modern warfare lmao. im that old.

[leaden juniper]

I don't blame you, it fell off after bo2 anyway

I enjoyed my time with bo3 and 4 though

[wraith vapor]

I totally used to FLAME COD for "copying and pasting" the same game every year. Now, 20 years later and 3 failed "modernizations" of Halo, I realized they didn't fix what wasn't broke. I wish Halo wouldve done the same thing after 2007.

[fickle drift]

Okay

[leaden juniper]

Well it's funny you mention that, but CODs problem was a bit more integral to the game itself, especially after BO2. Just take in of course, each of Bo2's modes was flushed out, fun, and had soem improvements from its predecessors without forgetting the formula. Anything after bo2 either A: had one or more modes that weren't very good B: riddled with pay2win loot boxes (got to the peak of nonsense with AW) or C: advanced mobility divided the community.

[wraith vapor]

Basically, they never chased trends nor did they ridicule and leave their core fanbase they worked to build behind. Infinite is white noise. Broader audience didnt stay because they could play the same game anywhere else. AS competitive as I am as a Halo player, it's key draw in the beginning was the low entry level. There were 13 year old girls playing H1 when I was in middle school. That was CRAZY in 2001. Nowadays you need to main line red bull just to play in social.

Very true. loot boxes ruin everything.

That being said, the game ALWAYS still felt like COD. Halo could never say that post 2007.

[leaden juniper]

Yeah that's true, cod was basically trendsetters for the heyday of the great Era (mw2007-bo2)

[wraith vapor]

they named the eras now?

[leaden juniper]

Nah that's just what I call it

[wraith vapor]

lol ok made me feel even older lmao

[leaden juniper]

I somewhat draw from act man's take on that

He labells cod 1-3 as the humble beginnings Era

[wraith vapor]

i think my comment was deleted

[leaden juniper]

Mw2007-bo2 as the "is cool but he doesn't even try to be" era

[wraith vapor]

i put i love the actman with a curse word. apparently thats not allowed on the internet.

[leaden juniper]

Not here anyway

[wraith vapor]

how old are you

[leaden juniper]

I'm quite young, I'm 21

[wraith vapor]

geez lol ya im 34.

[leaden juniper]

My first halo was 3

[wraith vapor]

halo 2 was the dawn of man as far as online console gaming went

[fickle drift]

Idk man I still think reach was pretty solid

[wraith vapor]

total revolution.

[hasty zinc]

it was pretty solid after it cooled

[fossil skiff]

Science checks out

[wraith vapor]

reach was a good game. not a good halo. it was the first to chase trends note the loadouts and reticule bloom. both of which BUNGIE removed in reach later on.

[leaden juniper]

Halo 1 and 2 both had some very interesting trends they set both in terms of making shooters actually playable on console and making them online

[wraith vapor]

zero bloom was the only thing that was playable

halo 2 MADE xbox live

[leaden juniper]

Also I swear the reach jetpack felt like a destiny titan lift beta test stg

I still liked reach tho

[wraith vapor]

the entire setup of the friends list, messaging, chats, lobbies, all that was halo 2. you had to load the game and THEN log into xbox live within the game. each game had to have their own UI for it. Halo 2's was used to make xbox live on 360.

[fickle drift]

I don't follow but I respect your take

[obsidian wyvern]

not the
"good game not good halo"

[leaden juniper]

Yeah, it was quite the leap. We have had online gaming for a while but I think halo 2 really cemented that online gaming was here to stay

[obsidian wyvern]

that's such a dumb line please stop

[wraith vapor]

Dynf, dont insult.

[blissful orbit]

My first Halo was 4

[wraith vapor]

ive been banned for less on 343

[obsidian wyvern]

what

[wraith vapor]

reach was objectively bad. Bungie's own actions prove it. they removed all of the new things they added because it just didnt fir halo's sandbox

[fickle drift]

Bro now you're saying objectively bad what???

[obsidian wyvern]

did you not just contradict yourself..?

[leaden juniper]

Only part I wasn't a huge fan of was armour abilities, otherwise it was solid

[wraith vapor]

im sorry it was your first halo. nostalgia doesnt make a game good.

[fickle drift]

That's the fattest under 5 minute contradiction ever

It was not my first halo. It's a damn good game and I like it

[wraith vapor]

Zero bloom was added by Bungie. I think that speaks for itself. If you arent old enough to have been there you may not understand how it was taken then.

[fickle drift]

I'm sorry halo ce was your first halo because your eyes are glued to those nostalgia goggles like craaazy

[steady jolt]

In your opinion Reach was a bad game, but others enjoyed it and they're not wrong in any way for liking the game

[wraith vapor]

if you liked reach. god bless ya. It was a bad Halo. Im not saying CE was a great MP game. lol

it was a bad Halo MP game. for sure. Bungie's actions backed that up. multiple times. go look at the MLG settings they used lmao

[ruby pecan]

Zero bloom was added by 343

[leaden juniper]

I think I would have a different view if I grew up with 1-2 and 3 and then played reach, but since I basically went from 3 to reach then backwards it was a bit different for me

[wraith vapor]

no. bungie was still at the helm of online

[ruby pecan]

nope. Once reach Shipped management of Reach went to 343.

the TU that brought ZBNS was from 343

[dusky swan]

TU was 343

[fickle drift]

Bahahaha

[ruby pecan]

along with the map packs.

[wraith vapor]

still, an admitted error

[dusky swan]

Who made those, Certain Affinity?

[ruby pecan]

yeah. CA and 343

[wraith vapor]

bungie employees lmao

Max hoberman....

[zinc hatch]

Map packs

[steady jolt]

What about Max?

[wraith vapor]

get franks face outta here lol

[leaden juniper]

He's gone don't worry

[wraith vapor]

lead of CA

lol i know i saw the news and came back to the forums

[leaden juniper]

Waypoint forums got wiped unfortunately

[wraith vapor]

I trashed him, bonnie, kiki, and holmes over their agendas for years until i was banned from 343's forums.

I'd love to see how those comments aged 😉

[steady jolt]

Let's not talk about moderation please

[wraith vapor]

what?

[fickle drift]

I'm not sure that's a flex

[steady jolt]

I'm not sure what's confusing about that
This isn't the place to be talking about moderation

[wraith vapor]

take it as you like. i just feel vindicated after a decade of being fed garbage.

[ruby pecan]

You only feed yourself what you want.

[steady jolt]

And keep it constructive please

[wraith vapor]

talk about moderation, i see. use full sentences next time. sorry

[steady jolt]

🙄

[wraith vapor]

therrre you go lol

[fickle drift]

We're talking about video games 😭

[wraith vapor]

hey STCKR was @dark's comment constructive?

[calm fiber]

For server moderation concerns, please message @bleak yoke.

[wraith vapor]

i’m so confused i’m tryin to read the last messages but i’m drawing a blank lmao

[ruby pecan]

Graphic design is not my passion.

[steep hazel]

No like reach is def a good halo game come on 😭

[fickle drift]

Yea have a good day yourself man

[slate nacelle]

reach was what got me into halo ngl

[steep hazel]

Same actually

Great campaign and pretty balanced sprint I think it’s a pretty good game

[forest lagoon]

Ever notice how if you draw a blank, you actually aren't drawing anything

[steep hazel]

😱

[slate nacelle]

man

[forest lagoon]

[obsidian wyvern]

does discord remove the pfp for anyone who doesn't have an image, for anyone else?

[steep hazel]

I still see the pfp

[steady jolt]

Desktop web shows default for me

[forest lagoon]

It's a blank for me too. That wasn't drawn

[steep hazel]

I’m on mobile

[obsidian wyvern]

desktop is normal for me, mobile doesn't show me anything

[slate nacelle]

mhm
i played it on an old xbox 360 that never got online so it was like 1.0, it felt really balanced and still does- it’s funny tho i never really realized the mechanic of the recoil tho lmao

[weary hound]

[steady jolt]

Shows on mobile for me

[obsidian wyvern]

weird

[slate nacelle]

man i hate it when that happens

[steep hazel]

Same tbh lol the recoil thing I just kinda glossed over I didn’t really notice

[obsidian wyvern]

I reinstalled recently too, been happening for about a month

[slate nacelle]

yeah i thought to crosshair getting wider just indicated u were firing

[steep hazel]

Yeah honestly

It’s a great game I kinda don’t get the hate on it sometimes

[slate nacelle]

playing halo 3 and ce after that confused me a lot bc of no crosshair animation

[steep hazel]

Lol yeah that’s what happens when you go chronological 😭

[slate nacelle]

when it came out it was kindof a 50/50 deal, some hated it some loved it- i think its just more of an 80/20 now

[floral pollen]

Does that on mobile for me

[slate nacelle]

it aged super well

[steep hazel]

Yeah I heard like the gamers loved it but the lore people hated it

[leaden juniper]

I think some of the biggest takeaways from reach was definitely the armour progression

[slate nacelle]

fr

[steep hazel]

Real

[slate nacelle]

honestly my twin and i were rlly invested in the lore and it was super solid

[leaden juniper]

I think a particularly modern halo should take soem notes from that..

[zinc hatch]

And then it got completely overshadowed by 4's progression but "muh COD gameplay" made people ignore Halo4's progression

[steep hazel]

Halo lore is way deeper than expected it’s crazy

[zinc hatch]

I'd actually say Reach had the 3rd worst progression system

[leaden juniper]

I agree halo 4 had some improvements but I think another reason it got overlooked was the artsyyle change

[slate nacelle]

ok i’m not gonna lie i play the halo 4 multiplayer with like really high fov and dexterity to make it feel like a movement shooter i really liked the multiplayer

[leaden juniper]

I don't particularly remember challenge based armour in reach? 4 had it I remember that, I did the 1000 assassinations for venator back then

It's alright just avoid the infinity gamemodes with load outs

[steep hazel]

Welp gotta go for a bit but it’s been great talking to you all! See you all soon

[zinc hatch]

4 actually rewarded you for doing stuff. Reach was just "sit in corners in Grifball for 1000+ hours" simulator.

[slate nacelle]

i think the big reason why halo 4 was so ‘eh’ for a lot of the community is because it was a big change, which isn’t particularly bad but community was jarred and not ready

[slate nacelle]

buh bye

[leaden juniper]

It also broke the 3 year cycle for halo

[slate nacelle]

didn’t realize that

[leaden juniper]

I think additionally halo 4 had some changes that tried to mirror what competitors were doing, I.e loadouts and those ordnance drops, so people picked up on that real quick

[slate nacelle]

yeye

i loved 4’s battle rifle tho, that thing is so fun to get headshots on

[leaden juniper]

Some sounds from 4 still stick with me, the warthog sound, while vastly different than virtually every other halo was pretty cool sounding, it sounded like those blown methanol fueled V8's they put on monster trucks, and also the DMR had this really heavy baseline to it

[fossil skiff]

Aside from the noise I agree 😄

BTB in halo 4 = field of crickets

[last crow]

id pay money for actual model swap in halo infinite

id drop 25 for a halo 4 battle rifle model swap cosmetic

id also drop another 25 for a gen 2 core

[leaden juniper]

Don't give them any ideas

[smoky token]

The Warthog uses a hydrogen engine iirc so despite how good it feels

Not lore accurate

[fossil skiff]

I do hope we get GEN2 one day. Some of those armors were fantastic

[last crow]

yes

and if i gotta pay them to incentivize making it happen then so be it

id buy 1000 battle passes worth of gen 2 in a heart beat

[steep hazel]

Y’all have you ever had your tv speakers up so loud then when your Xbox launches and you’re tryna play at like 11PM the start sound wakes up the whole house

I swear Xbox startup sound is unnecessarily loud and with home theater the whole house feels the bass for me 😭 glad I disabled it

[normal owl]

Thank you, that gave me a pretty good mental picture actually lol

[normal owl]

What matters is that you went for it.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah, when I'm tryna be quiet and the Xbox sound just ruins it lol

didn't find out about the disable feature until recently

[late spire]

can mcc have an update where you can chose the patch? it would be very helpful for reach mods on the xbox app version

[supple hazel]

Yo this server should get the soundboard up

[pulsar heron]

you could always raise a thread in #1039633978841374720 to see what the interest would be! that'd allow the team to easily evaluate if it's a feature that a lot of people want

[pulsar heron]

not happening

[supple hazel]

Why?

Too spammable?

[leaden juniper]

Hydrogen is still a gas tho, you gotta either combust it in liquid form for power or do those proposed hydrogen fuel cell things, which generate electricity anyway so there wouldn't be an audible sound period, and since there is a sound i think it's safe to assume it's some form of ICE

I'm so close to getting the haunted helmet and inclement weather in halo reach I'm rank 74 on series 1 battle Pass

It's still gonna need me to do flood firefight about 100 more times to.get enough XP but I'm making progress lol

[rare cedar]

We don’t trust y’all with emojis, what’s makes you think soundboards won’t be any better.

[obsidian wyvern]

arent soundboards created by the server admins though

so like, youd make a betrayal soundboard that anyone can use in vc

thats how i read it anyway

[amber mirage]

24/7 warthog honk sounds

[rare cedar]

Then it becomes a spamming issue

Just how rok put it

[steep hazel]

Yup 😭 a for effort I guess

[steep hazel]

Yeah it’s just so loud 😭

[plain lagoon]

How we doing chat

[steep hazel]

Good and you?
