general-chat

[queen remnant]

I just buy stuff that I like and/or if I have the money for it for the store, if not then I just ignore it

[hearty flame]

True!

The logical decision

[fickle drift]

also a great feature would be if you could preview the colorschemes for nameplates
Why do i have to equip every nameplate, then go back, go to colors and then discover that half of the available schemes is utter trash and in 95% doesnt fit any of the armor coats

[west vortex]

best part is when you buy a color and realize it isn't on the core you want

[hasty zinc]

I regret saying Happy Shop Update day

[hearty flame]

That's on you tbh

[west vortex]

oh and the PADDING on the events for separate cores. peak 343

[queen remnant]

That's kinda your fault, the game says in what core it is for each item

[hearty flame]

^^

[west vortex]

naw dude, I want it on the core I got it for AND all other cores. it's a color.

[queen remnant]

Even in preview you can see for what core it is

[hearty flame]

Yeah and we do too. But you bought it with the ability to read what core it DID come with and you didn't.

[west vortex]

this happened back in season 1, I didn't even realize there were core specific colors at the time.

[fickle drift]

well the catears were the meme, i also got few other things, the Zvezda bundle with bleached Bone; the Ironman coats, the Anubis set. Im not the avid collector in infinite that i am in other games tho and its mainly because that stuff is WAY too expensive.
like one colorscheme plus a nameplate and a sticker(that almost nobody cares for) and maybe some kneepads or shoulderpads(which also almost nobody cares for bc there are 3 good ones) for the total of 12-18€
Thats more than the Battlepass with all its customizables?!

[queen remnant]

That was a thing since the game launched, you always knew for what core it is

[hasty zinc]

will today finally be pizza day?

[queen remnant]

Hopefully

[hearty flame]

That's not really on you because core colours should have been wide from the start and a lot of people thought that. Knowing you made the same mistake twice tho?

[west vortex]

we gonna have to pay $8 for a pizza skin

[queen remnant]

Worth it

[hasty zinc]

cheaper than an actual pizza

[queen remnant]

Because pizza

[fickle drift]

oh dont worry, we would talk about it regardless of shop updates or not since its a fundamental flaw sadly.
Whats your take on it btw?

[west vortex]

only did it once

[queen remnant]

TRUE

[hearty flame]

Oh I thought you did it recently too

[hearty flame]

Go to Little Caesars, man

[hasty zinc]

eh, I don't like to get involved with that particular topic since I uhh, like purchasing stuff from the shop

[west vortex]

naw, just still mad about it. why colors are specific per core is beyond me.

[queen remnant]

It is what it is

Now we have to wait for the crosscore

[hearty flame]

Gonna be real with you guys, a single skin for every gun should cost $2 max

Black Ops 2 had it right

[queen remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/bo-burnham-laugh-crazy-gif-22215333

[fickle drift]

where do you live?
I mean stuff got more expensive, yes but I can still easily find me places where u get a 28Ø pizza with 3 toppings of your choice for 6€ and no not the ones where you get roaches as a free topping

[solid nova]

what happened to the "Share your conent" channel where people used to post their clips and whatnot?

[queen remnant]

Now it's #1076327824924872755

[solid nova]

oh

[west vortex]

ah yes
that thing they've been quietly sweeping under the rug. they pulled it off with visors then gave up lul

[queen remnant]

And attachments

[fickle drift]

and some colorschemes

[west vortex]

the basic colors yeh

[fickle drift]

what?
I cant use my Mk VII attachements on Mk Vb core or Yoroi?

[queen remnant]

Some attachments* I think for some Mk VII helmets

[fickle drift]

else my Kat-B321 would have catears long time ago

[west vortex]

kat with the cat

[hasty zinc]

where do you live?
Spaceship Earth, man. Just cruising through the void at 1.3 million mph.

[west vortex]

pizza in space is quite expensive I imagine

gotta give one hell of a tip

[fickle drift]

i really want the Warmaster helmet and the Cambion for Rakshasa

[hasty zinc]

you just missed Cambion not too long ago

[west vortex]

[steady jolt]

19x faster than actual earth, you're ZOOMIN'

[fickle drift]

i came back just a week ago, so i missed quite a few things tbh

[hasty zinc]

earth spinning around solar system, solar system spinning around milky way and the milky way zoomin through the universe, so many zoomies

I didn't know which value to set for my Spaceship Earth comment so I just went with the milky way through the universe lol

[steady jolt]

lol

[hasty zinc]

shame none of us will be here in a few billion years when Andromeda and Milky Way collide. I bet the night sky will be super dope

[west vortex]

hope infinite gets better with the leadership changes tbh, but it's hard to keep up hope

[hearty flame]

Store resets at 10 PST right?

[hasty zinc]

yee

[hearty flame]

huge

I have a few hours to finish Firewall I guess

[late wyvern]

Shop update shop update shop update

[hasty zinc]

you have until an hour after shop resets to finish

what if we get surprised with pizza armor coatings?

[west vortex]

hope we get some 4/20 themed items

[hasty zinc]

0 chance

[west vortex]

I can dream

[hearty flame]

In a AAA rated T game? 0 chance.

[amber mirage]

I'm betting they're holding the pizza coatings until the last possible shop reset to annoy Aegis

[west vortex]

ah that's right
why is it t rated smh

[amber mirage]

That's what the ESRB decided

[hearty flame]

so they can pander to kids

[hearty flame]

343/Msft knows the ESRB rules. They made it so it could be rated T.

[west vortex]

don't think many kids care about halo tbh

[hearty flame]

I'm not saying that making it Rated M would be better.

[steady jolt]

PEGI 16 in the UK, far as I remember, just like all other Halo titles over here have been rated

[hearty flame]

Anywhere outside the US is such a small player in their game

Also PEGI is a lot more strict than ESRB

For the game to be rated lower in PEGI you'd have to remove Spartan on Spartan violence from the game

[west vortex]

I just want halo to be good again man ;w;

[hearty flame]

Halo Infinite's pretty fun

[west vortex]

ya, but it has a ton of issues and low content. to the point where halo channels are primarily reporting on leadership changes.

[hearty flame]

The gameplay has very few issues

[west vortex]

tell that to my wet noodle melees

[hearty flame]

That one issue sure does sound like a multitude of issues beyond being called, "very few." I will agree the game has content issues as well.

But the content issues generally come from a bad weapon sandbox. Map count is getting better thanks for Forge and absolutely no thanks to 343.

[queen remnant]

Your mind is going to explode when I tell you who made Forge

[molten pelican]

okay I have had this happen so many times in btb i can confirm. not quick play tho

[hearty flame]

Bungie || /s ||

[west vortex]

happened to me in swat two matches ago ;w;

sorry, tactical slayer

[molten pelican]

I gotcha

[fickle drift]

well we have one in Shatterline and Wargaming, our old publisher, aimed at Teen aswell - so we named it "Botanical" but it was a canna leafs camoflage for the gun with them printed over each other like stamps.
it is sort of possible for sure and its legalized in many countries now too.
tho yeah in the us there is quite a special "public opinion" on that matter

[molten pelican]

most bugs I get are in btb which sucks bc that was my main gamemode. every quick play game I get is well rounded and super close which is great so going back to btb after that made btb better

[west vortex]

also hard to make yt content when theater has been broken since 2016

[hearty flame]

343 giving players the ability to make their own maps to fill the gaps that 343 themselves facilitated is the exact same thing as Bethesda releasing a broken game and letting modders fix it for everyone else. It's lazy.

[queen remnant]

So giving the tools (and improving since the last game) for the community to make stuff is lazy?

[hearty flame]

You really did read what you chose from that, didn't you?

[molten pelican]

I think thats a stretch

[west vortex]

like I know they can do better because they did do better in mcc. but now it feels like they're not even trying anymore.

y'know. after like 5 years of it being broken

[molten pelican]

maybe thats the thing. it took 5 years so maybe infinite will be a long process 🤷‍♂️ Im having fun tho in it now

[west vortex]

maybe. but will it matter if nobody cares about the game anymore?

[molten pelican]

did that happen with mcc?

[fickle drift]

you mean over a year too late?
I may be getting old but Forge and Customs was a keycomponent of the Halo Games and it took them over a year to get Forge out - and they already had the extra year delay for the release. So basically Forge wasnt done for over 2 years after the initial Releasedate

[west vortex]

nope, cuz mcc was the only way to keep playing halo 2 and now it's the only way to play any of the older halos online now.

[molten pelican]

true

[fickle drift]

so yeah with a team that big I can call it lazy - or severely disorganized which, given the size of the Publisher, doesnt make it better

[queen remnant]

Don't get me wrong, it was bad to delay it over a year for Forge but it is very powerful right now compared to H5, and even more with later updates they talked about it

[hearty flame]

It's not about power, you're making a strawman right now

[queen remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/cortana2-cortana-halo-halo-infinity-gif-21956391

[west vortex]

forge don't matter if we can't make infection based maps ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hearty flame]

It's about the fact that the game released with fewer maps than any other Halo game and fewer variants. Even now I'm pretty sure the game has the fewest number of official maps by far. They're filling the gap with player-created content.

[molten pelican]

I dont blame 343 people themself as I have much respect for them. but maybe its a leadership issue and disorganization and lack of community involvement (waypoint forums) idk

[molten pelican]

I think its great

[west vortex]

I have absolutely 0 respect for 343 after infinite lmao

[hearty flame]

inb4 "we're in the middle of development so we have fewer maps" they had tons of time to make more.

[molten pelican]

well thats harsh and unfair to most people at 343 lol

[hearty flame]

Yeah Halo Infinite isn't a bad game, it's a good game at best and an okay game at worst.

[west vortex]

then they should prove me wrong and fix infinite :)

[queen remnant]

The game released the same amount of oficial maps in release like H3

Btb is less if you count on that of course

[molten pelican]

I agree infinite needs improving but im not blaming 343 employees themself I think its a leadership thing and a disorganized development

and lack of community involvement like forums imo

[west vortex]

bruh the leaders are still 343. they represent them.

[queen remnant]

Which ones the one who left or the new ones

[round laurel]

Well the leadership of 343 has changed quite a bit since Infinite so let's see how it goes.

[molten pelican]

exactly why im not blaming the employees

I have respect for them lol

[west vortex]

buddy, you gotta look at it as a whole

I don't go out of my way to attack individuals, I just hate the company

[molten pelican]

praise when something good changes, critique wisely when it doesnt or something bad happens

[hearty flame]

We can make the same argument as 20 reddit posts made back and forth. "It's okay because Halo 3 did it," "It's not okay because that was 14 years before," "That's not strong because Infinite is new," when, at the end of the day, you and I both know that Halo 3 launched with other content that filled those content gaps like Forge, map variants, custom games, etc.,.

[west vortex]

halo 3 one year later was a much stronger game than infinite one year later. any of the games are.

[molten pelican]

I think every halo game had its issues. sometimes nostalgia can make us forget that

[hearty flame]

We also traditionally expect games to get better, not for content to stagnate.

[molten pelican]

ye

[queen remnant]

It's about the fact that the game released with fewer maps than any other Halo game
I'm correcting that part, not saying that the game didn't had any issue of content which it is

[scenic latch]

Then don't play their game or go into their server. Go play CoD, there's no need to stick around in here.

[hearty flame]

Aye, that's fair.

[west vortex]

I don't play cod, I play halo. and I come here because I want this to be better.

[molten pelican]

still its a strong word and not productive

[west vortex]

I hate the state of this game

[molten pelican]

yeah dont leave you good here

[molten pelican]

thats not fair

[hearty flame]

Halo has never been comparable to CoD in terms of gameplay or development, let's not compare them.

[west vortex]

I don't mean better than cod, I mean better than what infinite is now. apologies for the confusion

two different niches

[molten pelican]

I think he replied to wrong message

[scenic latch]

Ah yes, because you'll be able to fix everything by thrashing on the engineers who had the love for the game to stick around 🙂

[molten pelican]

ight ima go lol

[hearty flame]

The engineers fixed the existing connectivity issues. I'm happy it came at some point rather than never happening at all.

[west vortex]

my guy I'm shouting into the void and I know it. I'm ranting because when I rant to my friends I just hear "you still play that game?"

[forest lagoon]

Everything cool in here?

[west vortex]

been playing consistently since launch, already have finished all the content there is for me to finish.

that's why I complain here

[molten pelican]

think it got unproductive

[faint mantle]

That's not the word but I'll take it.

[molten pelican]

I think complaining isnt the right tactic for wanting things to change

[west vortex]

like what other halo games didn't have career progression? halo 1 and 2? why is it taking so long to get basic features?

[west vortex]

tf else am I gonna do lmao

[steady jolt]

Leave constructive feedback

[molten pelican]

yes

[queen remnant]

Gaming development sometimes (all the times) is not easy + other stuff that has been happening in the studio doesn't help at all

[west vortex]

I'm in general chat, not a forum. I've left tons of feedback and it goes ignored. the entire community has.

[steady jolt]

Very good place to start is looking at the S.M.A.R.T approach to providing feedback.
It's what 343 use internally and what they use with focus groups and Insider groups

[molten pelican]

there is no forums anymore. if you mean waypoint

[forest lagoon]

It's totally fine to have criticisms and wish things were different while also enjoying it, but "complaining" doesn't really do anything. Pointing out issues and explaining what you would like to see instead and how much fun you think a change would be is a completely different frame of mind.

[west vortex]

what is halo waypoint then lul

[amber mirage]

#1039633978841374720 is a forum where you can leave feedback

[steady jolt]

Feedback isn't ignored. It not being acted upon doesn't mean it's being ignored

[faint mantle]

You can leave your feedback. It doesn't mean the devs will respond to you for it, they'll just take it and work on it along with everything else they receive.

[steady jolt]

Can 100% guarantee it's read, prioritized and passed to relevant teams

[molten pelican]

sadly do wish those forums were still active

[molten pelican]

people have to remember the game cant be tailored made for one person, they have priorities

[west vortex]

listen, I'm just frustrated and a little upset with the state of this game. I just came here to chat with others about it, that's it. sorry that rubs y'all the wrong way.

[junior ice]

halo is

[steady jolt]

But you have to remember the sheer amount of conflicting feedback that comes in from so many sources - focus groups, insiders, internal teams, various social media sites, surveys...

[molten pelican]

its aight we can just move on

[west vortex]

I understand it's a lot, but the things that are missing just feel... basic

[molten pelican]

get that

[hearty flame]

I will always respect 343 for a good number of the dialogue they've had for Infinite. I won't forget that they allowed the game to release in the state that it did, though.

[pulsar cobalt]

Everyone probably feels the same way everyone knows progression is coming best thing to do is wait

[steady jolt]

Absolutely and 343 gets that too - but it's about prioritizing the biggest asks that can be achieved within time frames
Some things just need to be pushed back in order for others to pull through

Good stuff is coming, we're at the start of a better cadence of content now

[round laurel]

Whoops old message from Discord app posted, sorry

[molten pelican]

the whole population would rather have the biggest asks first and the smaller ones later indeed

[queen remnant]

It's a start that this season is shorter than season 1 and 2

So that's nice

[pulsar cobalt]

Season 1-2 6 month seasons 🥴

[molten pelican]

haha yes

[hearty flame]

That soured the taste of the game for a crucial number of people I think.

[junior ice]

imagine actually being able to play halo

[molten pelican]

it did get ppl the chance to hop in and not miss out

[west vortex]

I'm excited for the stuff coming, just feels kind of frustrating waiting on fixes and content that should have been there from the start over a year after release.
I know that's not individual's fault at 343 and that they're working hard to fix it, but why did the game launch in this state in the first place?

[steady jolt]

It did, but it was necessary to get to where we are now - which is a much better position than last year

[molten pelican]

there is probably a lot of details behind the scenes maybe even marketing idk

[pulsar cobalt]

The game is so much better since launch though

[molten pelican]

oh for sure

[west vortex]

oh I know. but it's not there yet.

[molten pelican]

just glad its moving forward and not back

ight gtg cya mates

[junior ice]

i still cant tell it wont even let me log in 💀

[west vortex]

deuces

[molten pelican]

adios

[junior ice]

starting to feel like that fan in the eminem song stan over this problem lmao

[pulsar cobalt]

What's actually your issue you can't login or what ?

[faint mantle]

If that's the case, there's a solution for it

[junior ice]

idk dude ive done the credential solution the dns flush solution deleted xbox app reinstalled deleted halo reinstalled halo and still nothin somethings conflicted

[faint mantle]

Did you delete all the credentials from Windows Credentials? Or just one?

[west vortex]

at the very least I can say... I really like bandit rifle starts. makes it so I don't get lazered in btb

[junior ice]

deleted cache files YOU NAME IT lol

[west vortex]

and the season 3 content is pretty dope. minus the crysis lookin armor lol (100% personal preference, I know)

[junior ice]

omg halo can run crysis

[faint mantle]

Important question, Toast

[junior ice]

more then one

originally i tried with the ones it said to get rid of didnt work

[pulsar cobalt]

You using the Microsoft store one ?

[junior ice]

nope

[hearty flame]

I hope they add a Classic Maps playlist one day. The best classic forge maps that play well in Infinite.

[faint mantle]

I suggest you just go nuclear and remove all of them. I don't know which one it is now, but its name is not like the ones that came before.

Deleting them all has failed no one so far

[junior ice]

i have

still experience the same nonsense

[pulsar cobalt]

Have you tried using the Microsoft store version ?

[junior ice]

im also not the only one experiencing it

[faint mantle]

"More than one" sounds like you deleted many, but not all.

[junior ice]

ive deleted all the credentials countless of times lol

[pulsar cobalt]

well if nothing works maybe just use xbox cloud and stream it and use controller 😂

[junior ice]

that sounds so gross

[steady jolt]

Start a new thread in #1075989764026675210 and list your specs and everything you've tried up until now
There might be some other troubleshooting steps that could help

[junior ice]

when you gotta xbox cloud just to play halo feels 💀

[amber mirage]

Do the nuclear option and clean install Windows

[pulsar cobalt]

That might be another option to do

[west vortex]

pls don't do that ^

[floral pollen]

Hoi

[fickle drift]

Do the nuclear option and install Mac OS

[junior ice]

i am not clean installing windows just for halo 💀

[pulsar cobalt]

it can fix tons of issues reinstalling windows just saying

[west vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-halo2-elite-sangheili-greetings-gif-25839730

[junior ice]

i rather just never play halo ever again lol

[west vortex]

aw

[fickle drift]

Condolences

[junior ice]

as much as ill miss it or like to play it every now and then doin so much nonsense to get halo to work is not worth it

[hasty zinc]

I second this

[junior ice]

343 and microsoft should read into the issue doe it seems rare but still to prevent future experiences for people that do run into it

[steady jolt]

^

[pulsar cobalt]

it seems more of a user issue then a halo issue tbh

[west vortex]

reeeeally don't think a clean install of windows would be a good start for troubleshooting lol

[fickle drift]

I like John Halo

[amber mirage]

A clean install fixes just about every problem. though.

[hasty zinc]

sure it is, you know many issues I've solved by nuking windows and starting over?

[pulsar cobalt]

its the best troubleshooting thing you can do

[fickle drift]

Windows is reliable and efficient, it won't break down, never. /s

[junior ice]

💀

[west vortex]

y'all didn't even recommend reinstalling the xbox app

[hasty zinc]

esp when it comes to credentials stuff, nuking is the best option 👏

[west vortex]

just jumping over so many steps

[junior ice]

yeah cause no one can solve it so just nuke windows 💀

[fickle drift]

Just download Mac OS /j

[hasty zinc]

can't have credential issues if you don't have credentials

[steady jolt]

This is why I recommend a support thread in #1075989764026675210

We can move troubleshooting there

[amber mirage]

I did say it was the nuclear option

[junior ice]

idk can they solve what the previous threads could not lol

[faint mantle]

That won't work

[junior ice]

its all over the internet

[amber mirage]

But was a ticket made on the support site?

[junior ice]

yess

[steady jolt]

If troubleshooting there doesn't help, you can submit a support ticket after that

[west vortex]

figured, but it's like an escalation thing. you start from the easiest steps and work your way up to more in-depth solutions

[fossil skiff]

Nah just nuke it from orbit.

[junior ice]

i agree with sol very helpful 343 hire him

[west vortex]

reinstalling an os should be the last of the options

[pulsar cobalt]

Why go through all that trouble and stress when a windows reinstall can fix everything

[fossil skiff]

Initiate NOVA bomb protocols

[west vortex]

because it doesn't even work out what exactly is going wrong

it's like asking someone to move because of a leaky faucet imo

[junior ice]

look its not a big deal im just sayin the only solution im reading is nuke pc but i dont feel like restarting and im sad that it has to be that way

[steady jolt]

Start a thread in support and it can be taken from there, it might not even come to a reinstall

[fickle drift]

Tomatoes

[steady jolt]

The major point here is to move troubleshooting out of General

[junior ice]

but what if the general has a malfunction

[west vortex]

dude what

[amber mirage]

Talk to the two star general

[junior ice]

lol i like that

[fickle drift]

Oh my

[junior ice]

rok is funny dude 🤣

[west vortex]

off topic from what we've been talking about so far, but I finally finished my season 3 pass today

[fossil skiff]

Nice

[hasty zinc]

how about that scrub Sol

[floral pollen]

I finished S3 little while ago, and am now half way through S2

[west vortex]

were you playing tactical slayer like an hour ago? think I matched against you.

and if so, sorry for the bullying lol

[junior ice]

i was like 30 to 40 percent done

[west vortex]

I got em all cleared now

[lime lagoon]

I hope today will be the day I get my haunted helmet if I get 50,000 per game of firefight I think I can manage it in one day

[amber mirage]

I think I'm around level 40 for S3.

[fossil skiff]

Nope. I haven’t been on since last night.

[west vortex]

ahhh gotcha. must've been another sol named person. sorry for bothering

[fossil skiff]

Np np

[amber mirage]

Was it Sol Badguy?

[floral pollen]

I still need to do S1 after I'm done with S2, but then I'll be done all the passes, so far

[west vortex]

don't remember, only remember sol. my gt is kelleyyy e621. was doing pretty good I think.

[west vortex]

hell ya my dude. keep at it, and don't be afraid to burn some double xp tokens

[junior ice]

never mind lol i only managed to get level 8

[floral pollen]

I've already burned a few, but I still have like 20

[amber mirage]

I have used 1 double xp boost ever

[west vortex]

I got like 40 just sitting around for the next pass now 🥶

[floral pollen]

Lol

[floral pollen]

I want to get the next pass, but prolly won't be able to

[amber mirage]

I'm in rush to complete my pass since they're not time limited

[west vortex]

hit me up in 2 months if that's still the case. I gotchu.

[floral pollen]

And by that I mean get Premium, since there's a free track

[floral pollen]

I'll attempt to remember

[west vortex]

I think you get enough tokens to buy the next pass if you finish yours? could be wrong.

[floral pollen]

S1 doesn't give credits

jus S2 and 3

[west vortex]

yaaa, s1 was rough. cool armor and all but man

[fickle drift]

Personally, the premium battlepass isn't exactly worth it

[faint mantle]

You wanna see what your KDA says?

[junior ice]

halo rough in gen master chief feelin like the leon falling on the ground meme

[floral pollen]

So I won't have any credits left after I get S1, since I have to use S2 to get S1

[west vortex]

sure!

[faint mantle]

Would you like it to be public or DM'd?

[fickle drift]

What does this mean?

[junior ice]

not the caring about KDA 💀

[west vortex]

public is fine

[amber mirage]

KDA is not under NDA

[faint mantle]

This is you.

[west vortex]

ya seems about right LOL

[junior ice]

xbox 360 chat spazes out

[fickle drift]

My brain cells during work hours

[floral pollen]

I honestly forget what my KDA is, I'm gonna check

[west vortex]

getting better though 😎

[floral pollen]

I've had a few really good games lately, ran 25-13 in Fiesta, 17-3 in a BTB game

[west vortex]

most of my time is honestly finding cheeky hiding spots and chilling tbh. that's just fun to me.

[floral pollen]

I sometimes do that, but I'm also someone that doesn't like jus sitting lol, unless I'm in a Scorpion

[west vortex]

see, I just tend to use halo like I use vrchat sometimes lol

[floral pollen]

Lol

[west vortex]

oh, I was wondering, is there any button combo to lower your weapon on pc? or is it just accessible through forge scripting

[floral pollen]

Think jus Forge

[junior ice]

imma be honest
the only good halo is halo 1 on xbox orig

[floral pollen]

I may be wrong, but I think its just Forge

[west vortex]

hot take, I really don't like halo 1 lmao

[junior ice]

i dont blame you

[hasty zinc]

yeah the machinima control option for lowering weapons doesn't exist. You have to use forge

[west vortex]

sadge

[floral pollen]

I've never played anything other than Infinite so far lol

[west vortex]

ty tho

[west vortex]

well good news, the other games are near unparalleled

[floral pollen]

Wow.. my overall KDA is -1.68

[amber mirage]

Spartan Strike is the best

[west vortex]

I loved the story of halo 2 the most

[junior ice]

realistically thats not that bad for someone whos only played halo infinite lol

[west vortex]

could probably quote the entire first cutscene from memory

[floral pollen]

I do however have 45 Ninjas and 2 Quigley's

[leaden juniper]

Thata a pretty cold take I think everyone considers h2 having the best story

[west vortex]

I'm okay with that

[amber mirage]

H4 story was what I think was the best

[floral pollen]

I can quote Johnson's "two sticks and a rock" bit pretty well off by heart

[west vortex]

"when you first saw halo, were you blinded by its majesty?"

[junior ice]

yes master chief arguing with cortana was the best drama show id ever seen trully worth a oscar

[fossil skiff]

You shot me, fool

[amber mirage]

Second place would be either H2 or Halo Wars 1 for me

[floral pollen]

As well as being able to do SI's voice almost perfectly

[west vortex]

I'm still getting over the visceral reaction I initially had to halo 4. was probably my most played game at the time though.

[junior ice]

brb goin to gamestop to get the halo3 xbox 360

[west vortex]

looking back, it's pretty good, I just wish halo 5's story played off of it more

[west vortex]

tbh I'd just get mcc. more content.

and cheaper no doubt

[fossil skiff]

I think Didact should have been the subject of Halo 5 instead of Cortana

[junior ice]

honestly i wish there were more cool squad halo games like i like the ideas of odst and reach alot

cause we already seen enough chief games

[floral pollen]

I've wanted to get the MCC for a while, but there's a few things that'd need to happen first

[west vortex]

things like what? 👀

[floral pollen]

Getting my own credit card for one

[west vortex]

ah that's a pretty big one

[leaden juniper]

Just use debit bro

[junior ice]

you dont even need a credit you could do debit

[floral pollen]

Yea, I always forget which one is "first"

But I still don't have a monie card

[junior ice]

gotta sadly get a job

or nothin in the world spins

[west vortex]

honestly, I'd just enjoy childhood while you have it. it can get rough later.

don't worry about "the grind" and all

[junior ice]

more like instantly but take that with a grain of salt 💀

[leaden juniper]

Go to school so you aren't stuck up at Walmart for 25 years

[west vortex]

whatever you do, do not join the military. got me messed up lol

[floral pollen]

I wanna go back to homeschooling

[junior ice]

or career school

[leaden juniper]

At the same time though don't do a program if you aren't sure about it

I wasted a year doing something that I didn't even hate it was just online at that point

[junior ice]

^pretty much why i skipped schooling after graduating

[fickle drift]

Isn't it lonely?

[junior ice]

most unsure of all time

[leaden juniper]

Ye

[floral pollen]

Eh, a bit, but I much prefer it over where I'm going rn

[fickle drift]

I think I'd get sick of homeschooling fast, meeting the same person everyday with no one else to add to the variety

[floral pollen]

I was homeschooled for 9 grades

[junior ice]

even if you dont go to schooling after the school your forced to do in life its not like there aint ok jobs there is it just feels slim if you dont know much

[floral pollen]

from SK to Grade 7

[west vortex]

I was homeschooled for 4 years, is why I had to do five years of high school. make sure you keep those homeschooling records around.

[fickle drift]

School is the time to experience things, homeschooling kinda devoid you of that experience, kinda makes you isolated

[junior ice]

yeah but depending where you live schooling itself isnt exactly great either

where im at i hardly learned anything REMOTELY helpful in any form of way

[leaden juniper]

Quite literally, you're not exposed to anything outside of what you're familiar with so you never really grow as a person

[west vortex]

I mean... once it's done it's done. don't have to worry about it after that.

[fickle drift]

Of course school isn't great, it's school

[floral pollen]

I really don't wanna go back to public school, bc I go to a private school rn

[junior ice]

no but what im sayin is school can be great

but however sadly not all schools are great

[leaden juniper]

Well school doesn't really teach you anything relevant until like grade 11-12 and college lol

[fickle drift]

Your mileage may vary, you may get bullied a lot, have strict high expectations, overwhelmed with subjects and assignments. But what I feel school really is, is the people you meet a long the way, you have crushes, you make friends, you hate people, etc

[west vortex]

I wouldn't say that. the things you learn have different levels of importance depending on what you do in the future. and most kids have no idea what they're gonna do.

[leaden juniper]

There's a foundation they set you up on math wise in gradeschool though but hs math was such a meme

[hearty flame]

Fake and unusually questionable source

[leaden juniper]

This is always why I say tech classes did way more for me

[west vortex]

if you're going into tech, then math and science are both extremely important. and everything is a foundation for another thing in school.

[leaden juniper]

You don't have to agree

[hearty flame]

If anyone here is looking for advice abt school and your youth, I'm gonna give you the best piece right here: Don't take social advice from random people on Discord

[junior ice]

i dont agree with life in general imma be honest

lol well school didnt help me either or else id do better so i like the randos advice

[west vortex]

the ways school helps often goes unseen by people, but it's important

[junior ice]

this rando giving me more advice then my parents ever have ON GOD and no thats not a meme

[fickle drift]

Toast, you're a very dismissive person

[leaden juniper]

Yeah but college requirements aren't as strict as uni especially, it's dependant on what you want to do for sure, like I'm in computer engineering with minimal science classes right, they wanted you to be in computer science classes but my specialist program in HS was horticulture lmao

[amber mirage]

This creates a paradox. You are a random person on Discord offering advice to not take advice. Both cannot be done at once.

[junior ice]

rok spittin facts

[fickle drift]

Oh my

[hardy storm]

They're out of line, but they're right

[leaden juniper]

Based

[west vortex]

kind of my point. you have no idea what you're gonna do in the future, nor do you know what's gonna be important or not. is why it's good to pay attention through it all.

[fickle drift]

This is why you try and see if it works, if it doesn't, you could always transfer course

You're still young, there's no rush, if you rush, you might end up hating yourself because you haven't processed it properly

[junior ice]

that probably explains why i hate myself

[west vortex]

I mean, you probably just need a therapist lol

[junior ice]

FACTS on god

[amber mirage]

Don't we all?

[fossil skiff]

I just snuggle my cats

[fickle drift]

Snuggle elgato moment

[leaden juniper]

There are some boundaries that are basically breached for uni admission if you come anywhere under a certain % which I find just ludicrous, like that's what I mean in terms of having options because uni is not the be all and end all, everyone wants to go there straight out of HS, but there are plenty of good opportunities in college and vocational training as well

[junior ice]

wait who snuggling a capture card doe

[faint mantle]

Everyone at some point in their life needs a therapist

[west vortex]

I'm gonna dip, hope y'all's day treats you with kindness and thanks for chillin with me ❤️

[steady jolt]

Later o/

[leaden juniper]

Everyone probably would benefit from a therapist but lord knows if anyone could actually afford one

[junior ice]

^

[west vortex]

if you need anyone to talk to, night or day, I'm always here

[hasty zinc]

cmon AWS, don't do this to me. Not today

[fossil skiff]

What the AWS doin

Aside from not working properly

[floral pollen]

I know I prolly do

[hasty zinc]

precisely that lol

[fossil skiff]

Sounds like a great day 🫣

[grave pasture]

Hey everybody, didn't know an official Halo Discord server existed

[hasty zinc]

Welcome!

[steady jolt]

[hardy storm]

Greetings

[fossil skiff]

Halo there

[hasty zinc]

I am Archer, emissary of the Gorgonites

[grave pasture]

I was originally looking for info about why the map didn't load properly and I just kept falling in the cold fabrics of space until I saw there was a discord

[fossil skiff]

I love hearing something fall over when I’m home alone. Was it the cats knocking something over or are the squirrels breaking in?

[obsidian wyvern]

🤨

[hasty zinc]

I'm picturing squirrels using a lock pick set on your front door or using glass cutters on your windows

[fossil skiff]

(We feed the squirrels in my backyard every morning)

[obsidian wyvern]

pls build the Olympics course

[fossil skiff]

They already try to climb the bird feeder and get the seeds, does that count?

[fossil skiff]

Ya know what. Squirrels would be great at stockpile BTB.

[fickle drift]

Cheeky squirrel

[obsidian wyvern]

the squirrel maze*

[faint mantle]

They'll put the power seed two feet under the ground and forget about it

[static rune]

hi

[leaden juniper]

Good, maybe that will teach them to remove that gamemode

[sour gate]

I think slayer should be removed from Halo
it's just so different from the core series and doesn't seem all that popular /j

[hasty zinc]

wat

[normal owl]

Computron, summarize the last 520 new messages.

[hasty zinc]

Computing

Analysis complete: Nothing of value found

[static rune]

the only multi-player games i play are fiesta and big team battels

[normal owl]

Thank you, Computron, for saving me the most valuable resource of all: time.

[fickle drift]

Analyzing.. there seems to be no signs of intelligent life anywhere

[normal owl]

Very excited today: bought a big bag of animal feed peanuts and have strewn them across the windows to attract squirrels. During my workday, I'll have little buddies out there enjoying a fine meal hopefully.

[hasty zinc]

man idk why but now I want Circus Peanuts

[normal owl]

[fossil skiff]

Get a bird feeder if you can. It’s fun watching what sorts of birds come up to it

[normal owl]

Those candy things?

[fickle drift]

General Kenobi!

[fossil skiff]

Preferably squirrel proof cause holy moly are they greedy sometimes

[normal owl]

I would love that. Unfortunately our building is for professional services and doesn't allow anything to be affixed/implanted to the outside at all.

[fossil skiff]

Dangit. Well, seeds are an option I guess

[hasty zinc]

yep, I love them and everyone else I know hates them

[normal owl]

One of my favorite prequel moments: when Grievous splits into 4 arms with a lightsaber each!

[normal owl]

Ironically, that makes them the dumbos.

[fickle drift]

That was definitely a highlight

[fossil skiff]

I remember when PrequelMemes was doing that thing where every day added another lightsaber

Colorful to say the least

[normal owl]

That's a good idea, I should get some. Hope the birds are fast enough before the squirrels hoover them all up haha.

[fickle drift]

I rewatched Revenge of the Sith the other day coincidentally

It's still pretty good

[normal owl]

I enjoyed RotS a ton more after going through Clone Wars too.

[hearty flame]

I heard the Community playlist disappeared. Did it come back yet?

[snow helm]

Good Morning. I have a general question for the community. What kind of tournament would most interest you to compete either a team ranked playlist best 2 out of 3 or a ffa tactical slayer. i figured this server would be the best people to ask thank you

[steady jolt]

#halo-support-news

[fickle drift]

Should do that myself

I never fully watched Clone Wars

[steady jolt]

Should be back in about 2 hours 30

[hearty flame]

Mm. Lovely.

[hearty flame]

You don't have to make fun of 343 like that man

[normal owl]

Community, the show.

[hearty flame]

Haven't seen much of it.

[dreamy stirrup]

wait what

[hearty flame]

The whole playlist got disappear'd. Goned. There's a post in #halo-support-news about a patch for it coming in a couple hours.

[normal owl]

It's a great junk food show, like one that you pop on when eating something real quick or having on in the background while you fold clothes or what not.

[dreamy stirrup]

oh i should catch up on taems

hang on

[hearty flame]

It's funny cuz I came in today wishing for a playlist like that, not knowing that one existed in the first place.

[copper meadow]

Why is my matchmaking so horrendous

[dreamy stirrup]

skill issue

[copper meadow]

2 people who’ve never played before in my team

Am I being punished for playing good? 🫠

[normal owl]

It's truly a worthwhile watch, as it adds a lot more layers to characters that the movies/shows didn't have time to add a lot of dimension to (Anakin, Dooku, Grievous, the Separatists, Cad Bane, etc.), which then also makes moments in RotS have a lot more impact (for me, particularly Anakin's turn).

One personal recommendation--just because I'm not as patient--is to watch a YT summary of Season 1 and go straight to Season 2.

[fossil skiff]

I need to watch it again

[fickle drift]

Got it! Thanks for the recommendation

[normal owl]

You know what would be so fun: movie nights, with a chat thread specifically for that time so people can react together.

[hearty flame]

If you're not playing ranked, why does it matter? If you're performing well, you're performing well.

[copper meadow]

Challenges like “win 3 matches” are impossible when you get bad teammates constantly

I really don’t care unless I have to play 6 matches just to win 2

[normal owl]

It just takes some time
Mirio you're in the middle of the grind
Everything everything will be just fine
Everything everything will be all right, all right.

[molten pelican]

[hasty zinc]

one hour remains.. time to summon pizza

🙌

[normal owl]

[normal owl]

Probably less expensive to set up that summoning circle than to pay for delivery these days.

[elfin glacier]

Sam was never seen again....

[normal owl]

"Hang on" as in generally "hang in there" like the kitten on a clothesline.

[hasty zinc]

I thought it was a tree branch

[normal owl]

I think there are multiple distressed kittens being used for corporate inspiration.

[hasty zinc]

do the cats get compensation?

[smoky token]

I want a pizza

I hunger

[normal owl]

I think they get a base salary plus a meow-it based bonus.

[broken mantle]

you can do that in Animal crossing?

[hasty zinc]

probably

[normal owl]

I'll be eating soft Panera bagels for the next few days. Did you guys know that Panera sells a baker's dozen bagels for like $8 on Tuesdays?

[copper meadow]

Sounds like it’s time for my mid day coffee break

[normal owl]

You can mix & match all their good kinds, like Cinnamon Crunch, Everything, etc.

[copper meadow]

Really? Every Panera I’ve been to has everything outrageously priced

[normal owl]

Same, I only buy bagels via the special Tuesday pricing. It's like 70 cents per bagel this way.

And their bagels are superior to the store-bought six-packs that I normally buy. They just don't have as many preservatives so I have to eat them all within a few days. Oh no, such a burden.

[copper meadow]

I live in the middle of no where so there aren’t a lot of chain stores, thankfully everything here is mostly homemade

There’s an old bakery in town that’s been there for over 80 years

[normal owl]

That sounds awesome! What's your favorite thing there?

[tight remnant]

I miss exuberant witness

[copper meadow]

Bavarian cream doughnuts

It’s like custard but better in every way

[molten pelican]

season 4 content?👀

[fossil skiff]

Huh

[molten pelican]

nothing rly Sura on twitter just predicting maps lol

[normal owl]

That sounds incredible.

[copper meadow]

I’ve never had a doughnut like it. Even the dough is amazing. I should ask how they make them 🤔

[fossil skiff]

In the mixing bowl of an angel 🎶

[normal owl]

I read that to the tune of that Sarah McLaughlin song lol

[faint mantle]

I didn't scroll and thought you meant chocolate Crunch

[obsidian wyvern]

anything to look forward to in infinite today?

[floral pollen]

No clue, maybe the daily, but no clue

[obsidian wyvern]

I know stuff happens on a Tuesday but it can't remember what rn

[floral pollen]

Wait.. Tuesday is the full shop reset

So we get a whole new shop

Also a new weekly reward

[pulsar heron]

hey rev. nice, uh... nice pfp

sorry, i lied, it's horrifying

[floral pollen]

Hoi Tora

[pulsar heron]

hi river :)

[floral pollen]

To my knowledge, it shouldn't be, but there may be a small update or sumn I haven't heard about

No problem

[broken mantle]

matchmaking is kind of broken

[shell sage]

bruh btb takes forever to load

[broken mantle]

plus they tend to put you in uneven teams

I have had so many teammates who don't even know how to play

[shell sage]

Yeah and only like half the time am I good

[hasty zinc]

not seeing a lot of pizza summons in here 😦

[floral pollen]

🍕

[shell sage]

gulp

🍕

[hasty zinc]

too late

[shell sage]

im sorry master

how about I post duc

🦆

[floral pollen]

Why do I feel like we've gotten the Temple Grounds coating beofre?

[shell sage]

On which core?

[floral pollen]

The three its on this week

[shell sage]

oh

[floral pollen]

Chimera, Mirage, and Mark VII

[shell sage]

my fav coating is on mark 7 and it's foxwood seal

If it's less than 400 I might get it

[floral pollen]

Foxwood Seal was a weekly reward a while ago

[shell sage]

But it's honestly one of the best coatings ever

also it's legendary

[obsidian wyvern]

they brought back a weekly reward already??

[shell sage]

No

[obsidian wyvern]

oh i didnt read your comment

[shell sage]

lol

[obsidian wyvern]

its aweosme right

[pulsar heron]

it's... something, i'll give you that for nothing

[broken mantle]

lord hood you mind telling me whats wrong with your face

[fickle drift]

"If I was a megalomaniac, and I'm not, that's where I'd be."

[broken mantle]

the memories with that music

[young nexus]

Howdy chat

[amber mirage]

Best part of Halo 2

[fickle drift]

Cap

There are too many best parts of Halo 2

[amber mirage]

That's the bestest part. though.

[fickle drift]

Idk man I think tartarus betraying arbiter was bestester

Each to their own tho

[amber mirage]

If I could actually see what was going on in the cutscene, maybe. Too dark.

[broken mantle]

just imagine if they had the time they needed

[hasty zinc]

breaking out of Delta Halo and just exploring the outside was one of my favorite parts of H2

[fossil skiff]

Yeah. It was so peaceful. I still need to find that one doll.

[hasty zinc]

going to the tippy top of the tallest mountain

[pulsar cobalt]

That profile picture just reminds of that guy what was his name hoodlord or something haha

[amber mirage]

I remember taking a Ghost and riding it around a good portion of the mountain wall on the left side of the lake

[hasty zinc]

yep and you could explore under water as there was no kill barrier

but using the underwater elevator glitch was the best because you could explore the underwater ruins

[fossil skiff]

I need to try that now >_>

[amber mirage]

I never tried any underwater glitches

[fossil skiff]

I didn’t know they even existed

[amber mirage]

Same

[hasty zinc]

put a covie crate in the elevator then press the button from the outside, it'll try to spawn you in but can't because the crate is there and will spawn you on top of the elevator as it goes down

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[fossil skiff]

Many thanks Aegis

I’m gonna do this uh..:Friday night I guess

[amber mirage]

One day, I'll try it

[hasty zinc]

now you can't ride the elevator down you have to jump to the side to hit the edge and let the elevator continue otherwise you'll die

[fickle drift]

That's a tad issue of not being good at the game

Simply see through the darkness

[amber mirage]

I can't. I'm not Sam Fisher.

[fickle drift]

Then be Big Boss

Or Venom Snake

[amber mirage]

Is there a lot of darkness in the Metal gear games? From the small bits I played, everything happened during daytime.

[fickle drift]

Not all of it

[fossil skiff]

Ah, no pizza. Sadge.

[fickle drift]

In V you can infiltrate at night or day

[amber mirage]

One day, I'll properly play through that series

[fickle drift]

It's quite hard to access them

[amber mirage]

I think I own all the mainline ones

[fickle drift]

Oh that's good

Right now iirc the only ones that are available for purchase on modern hardware are MGR, MGS V, and the original MGS if you're on GOG

[normal owl]

That'd be interesting: like cocoa pebbles in bagels.

[amber mirage]

2 and 3 HD and Peace Walker are available on Xbox through back compat

[normal owl]

What about Revengeance? I pre-ordered that game back in the day...then never installed it.

[amber mirage]

That's MGR

[normal owl]

oh I thought MGR = Metal Gear Rising

[amber mirage]

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Same game.

[fossil skiff]

Armstrong disliked that

[normal owl]

I sadly missed the reference. The one I played was Sons of Liberty but a long time after its original release.

[amber mirage]

Music to my ears (eyes technically)

[fickle drift]

Peace Walker is, but 2 & 3 HD are delisted

[fossil skiff]

Senator Armstrong is the bad guy in that game..he’s a pretty interesting character.

[normal owl]

Wow I must have flushed a lot of that memory out afterwards hahaha.

[amber mirage]

RIP. Good thing I picked it up on sale however many years ago.

[fickle drift]

Lucky you lol

Stupid konami making some of the best games ever really hard to find

4 is basically locked to the PS3 I'm pretty sure

[amber mirage]

Yeah

[normal owl]

Is that the Old Snake one?

[fickle drift]

Yup

[amber mirage]

For anyone interested, Peace Walker and V Definitive are on sale for about $11 on Xbox right now.

[normal owl]

I would love to experience the MG games, but they're just so time-expensive...

[amber mirage]

Which is why this was a pleasant surprise for me

At least the barrier to entry for me is low.

[hasty zinc]

this is what the setup looks like btw

jackpot

[fossil skiff]

The forbidden pool

[hasty zinc]

oh yeah, after you activate the button you have to jump in the elevator doors and jump backwards out so the elevator starts

[fossil skiff]

Imagine if Bungie went full send and it was an open world on the Ring

I would have loved to explore the sentinel wall and outside the library on sacred icon, personally

[smoky token]

Erm. Spoilers!

[hardy nymph]

The transition between the beautiful jungle section of the ring we see in the Delta Halo mission into the nightmarish Flood-infected territory would’ve been so awesome. That’s what I’d love to see—an open world Halo ring with fluid transitions between different biomes.

[quaint quiver]

Greetings comrades!

[hardy nymph]

Hi!

[low parrot]

I just wasted so much time. I was in this broken land grab match it was where there was no land to grab and no one could get points for like 30 mins. I stayed thinking when the time went up the game would end and I would still get xp for getting kills but it just lasted forever so I left lol

[hardy nymph]

That’s hilarious. I didn’t know Land Grab could last forever lol

[fossil briar]

Heyy anyone got a way to farm exotic engrams in destiny?

[quaint quiver]

[viral dune]

Hi a huge Halo fan! I'm Icky Spartan!

[empty fulcrum]

Nice to meet you too lol

[versed spindle]

Honestly should just have a bot ping icky whenever someone new joins

[normal owl]

@empty fulcrum You should feel honored: your very first message in this server was subjected to the "I'm" trap of Icky.

It's one of the highest traditions of this server.

[empty fulcrum]

Should I be worried lol

[versed spindle]

Absolutely not

[normal owl]

worried honored

[empty fulcrum]

LOL okay well you said trap

[versed spindle]

Am I crazy or did the chat timer go down to only 5 seconds?

[obsidian wyvern]

[viral dune]

Nope, only thing you should fear here in the server is hot milk

Hot oj is superior

[obsidian wyvern]

if this is your first day on discord, how comes you have nitro already lol

[young nexus]

Lets gooooo i can communicate again

[young nexus]

What if they bought it?

[hardy nymph]

I got it for free with Game Pass. 3 month promotional perk

[obsidian wyvern]

ah

[obsidian wyvern]

no i mean, i was confused as to why anyone would buy nitro on their first day on discord yk

[empty fulcrum]

Does anyone play Halo on Xbox in here?

[normal owl]

Wow, Game Pass sounds like a good value...

Wanna know something kinda weird? I made that image you’re using as your pfp. it was part of a joke between a couple of friends and I when that imposter Jerma pic was making rounds a few years ago. Then some dude on an instagram page called like arbychief.exe posted it and it blew up. Makes me proud to see it still being used

[empty fulcrum]

Nvm that was a dumb question my bad lol

[obsidian wyvern]

NO WAY

thats awesome if youre not messing with me

[charred robin]

Bro some mf sacrificed his life by jumping in front of my skewer shot

[floral pollen]

I'll see you guys, prolly tomorrow

[hardy nymph]

I’m genuinely not!! I used a FaceApp smile filter like 10 times to give it that creepy look

[fossil briar]

hm i wonder whats that

[obsidian wyvern]

pretty convenient timing because ive always stuck to the same pfp, yesterday was the first time i changed it in months

[fossil briar]

nvm i didnt play destiny for long time

[obsidian wyvern]

good work on it lol

[hardy nymph]

When the timing is sus 😳

[charred robin]

Oi this is halo not destiny

[fossil skiff]

Now do upside down Hood

[obsidian wyvern]

bet

[fossil briar]

uh

[hardy nymph]

I also made a pic with FaceApp where I used the fat filter on the same pic of Lord Hood like 5 times. Some people posted that around too but idk if you’ve seen it

[fossil skiff]

Has science gone too far? 🫡

[obsidian wyvern]

dont think so

[hardy nymph]

It looks so weird. I’ll see if I still have it on my phone lol, he looks like an old version of the captain from wall e

[obsidian wyvern]

why does the upside down smile work too LOL

[hardy nymph]

LOL

[normal owl]

@obsidian wyvern happening by chance to meet the person who made his pfp is a more beautiful moment than meeting any other historical figure.

[fossil briar]

But theres no destiny discord?

[obsidian wyvern]

reminds me of his upside down smile lmaoo

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL

[cinder adder]

Hi

[fossil skiff]

Oh god

[obsidian wyvern]

emotional moment 🥲

[hardy nymph]

I wasn’t gonna say anything but since they’re one of the first people I interacted with on here, I knew we would have a special bond

[normal owl]

You two are close, like you're in the same neighborHood.

[obsidian wyvern]

thats a pretty cool super react animation

[cinder adder]

😑☹😩👍

[obsidian wyvern]

whats happening on friday @fossil skiff

[fossil skiff]

A research symposium that I really don’t feel good about. I also need to figure out what I’m wearing. It’s not like a big big deal but I don’t know what to expect

[normal owl]

Are you presenting at it?

[fossil skiff]

Not really presenting per se but I have to stand next to a poster I made with our project and explain it to people who come up

[obsidian wyvern]

thats what i thought was happening when i first read the status

[fossil skiff]

For 3 freaking hours

It’s also going to be really cramped so no sitting

[charred robin]

Bandit or DMR
Wich one is better

[obsidian wyvern]

the bandit is the dmr 😤

[fossil skiff]

Depends which DMR (though they’re kinda the same thing)

[normal owl]

Hahaha did Halo dig back and reply to a 2012 tweet?

[charred robin]

Reach,4,and 5

[obsidian wyvern]

that tweet has been trending recently, this was one of the funnier replies i saw lol

[cinder adder]

[obsidian wyvern]

upload to imgur and link it here

saying its appropiate

[charred robin]

Embed fail

Lol

[normal owl]

Just end everything by leaning in and saying surreptitiously "...at least, that's what they want me to say", then lean back with look that implies the truth is actually far different.

[cinder adder]

What how do you upload it?

[hardy nymph]

Halo CE elite sound when you stick them with a plasma nade and then their death scream immediately follows

[smoky token]

There is no embed, that’s not a valid link lol

[near pumice]

Does someone knows why i cant add the @ sign when the loging prompt shows ?

[fossil skiff]

Honestly since we haven’t been running the experiment for long I do plan to just emphasize the “future work” aspect of this.

[obsidian wyvern]

https://imgur.com/upload

[faint mantle]

That happens to some people, just copy and paste it from your browser.

[young nexus]

Might be a flagged text character

[fossil skiff]

In terms of experiment findings we have almost nothing right now

[charred robin]

Skill issue

[near pumice]

Ah i see , i'll try to copy it from notepad

[faint mantle]

Would be very counter-intuitive since that's a crucial character for your email...

[normal owl]

Perfect. Just lower your voice like you're giving inside information, "Human trials have already begun."

[fossil skiff]

monkaS

[young nexus]

Dunno, im mentally exhausted

[obsidian wyvern]

what a week, huh?

no wait, its tuesday not wednesday

[fossil skiff]

Dawg it’s only Tuesday don’t get me started

[charred robin]

Translation:thank you for the gift spartan verry apriciated

[normal owl]

@fossil skiff and if a passerby talks too much, panickedly say into your cell phone, "Shut it down and get the equipment out of there. This person knows too much. Shut it down now!"

[cinder adder]

G damn it

[near pumice]

Found the problem! I'm using azerty

[amber mirage]

What are the Tues for which this day is named?

[near pumice]

When using qwerty it works

[faint mantle]

Weird, I use QWERTY and it doesn't let me

Do you have multiple languages set on your keyboard?

[young nexus]

Nah, friend went too far with a deleting messages bit and removed my roles and timed me out. 😬 minutes before my therapy appointment(lmao) but it’s all good now

[amber mirage]

I found the answer

It's 1v1 day

[bronze breach]

i wish we could customize undersuit color lol

[fossil skiff]

The god of 1v1s, oh boy

[normal owl]

under where?

[fossil skiff]

Ego chall the week

[left bone]

$10 please

[amber mirage]

Every Tuesday we need to host 1v1s to satisfy the gods

[obsidian wyvern]

if icky happens to be in the 1v1 and loses, he cant drink orange juice that week

[young nexus]

What would you call a game where everyone was just chillin on a map, like on those reach custom maps. I want more of stuff like that in infinite.

[normal owl]

I've been eating oranges every day for weeks.

[amber mirage]

I don't think I ever experienced that in Halo

[obsidian wyvern]

is that.. a clan recruitment map

[young nexus]

Im talking about those drive or die maps or the chill and not fighting ones

Dunno what category it would belong in but i want to just chat with people who play the game in the game 😢

[azure gorge]

How is everyone

[young nexus]

Pretty mixed but alright

I just went 17 and 4 and my muted issue was resolved

[azure gorge]

Ah

[young nexus]

I was just starting to enjoy the game, by giving callouts, but of course the game had to bug out and prevent me from Actually doing so 😡

regardless, the community and the report process were both lovely and helpful

[empty fulcrum]

What is everyone's least favorite Halo?

[steady jolt]

Halo 3

[young nexus]

Halo 5

[frail walrus]

Halo 3 for me

[hasty zinc]

panda smashing his phone rn

[fossil skiff]

Reach

[empty fulcrum]

Infinite for me as well

[hasty zinc]

nobody said Infinite yet though

[young nexus]

sweating emote here

My biggest gripe with the game is the lottery for what game you’re gonna get

[empty fulcrum]

Scratch the as well part lol

[hasty zinc]

[young nexus]

I’m definitely looking forward to infinite improving in the future. I just think the fundamental hope you get the game you want is not very enjoyable. To me at least.

[empty fulcrum]

I mean it's not bad when I am on my Xbox One S but when I play on my gaming laptop its runs really smooth. Also I hope it improves too. More customization for one lol

[normal owl]

Spartan Assault. No Necromancer class was a dealbreaker for me.

[young nexus]

Yeah, though gameplay itself i would keep separate from the game lottery.

[empty fulcrum]

Never played it

[young nexus]

The mcc collection has a rocking system going on

[empty fulcrum]

Couldn't agree more

[balmy tundra]

Guys, the new playlist is bugged

[young nexus]

Being able to choose when you play oddball is like ecstasy when i look at infinite

[young nexus]

ah

[elfin glacier]

3

[normal owl]

Also, I did not enjoy Halo: Go. Like Pokemon Go, it was a cool AR/IRL concept, but I got really tired of strangers melee-ing me for points.

[empty fulcrum]

How is it bugged?

[balmy tundra]

I’m in a ninja landgrab match that won’t end

[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

[balmy tundra]

Thank you

[empty fulcrum]

LOL

[young nexus]

I haven’t really played any of the playlist, other than tactical and team snipers. Im not going to touch ranked snipers or most the other playlists. I just… don’t want to go from one game type to another back to back.

[balmy tundra]

Shoot, have to sign into waypoint

[empty fulcrum]

Why Halo 3?

[normal owl]

and winter was a real annoyance during weeks with the Nade Kills challenge. Snowballs everywhere when I'm minding my own business.

[elfin glacier]

Honestly it was kinda underwhelming compared to the hype

[young nexus]

I never heard of this “halo: go”

[normal owl]

I was satirizing: what it'd be like if there was such a game.

[young nexus]

Ahhh ok

[normal owl]

Humor failed successfully.

I will cross that off my list of Things That I'm Sure Will Make Folks Laugh.

[young nexus]

definitely got a chuckle for me

[normal owl]

haha well I'm glad.

[young nexus]

How often do you play infinite?

I haven’t played much as of recent due to my technical issues

Im excited that it’s resolved now

[hasty zinc]

Halo 4: King of the Hill Fueled by Mountain Dew™️ was pretty close to a Halo: Go type game

[empty fulcrum]

I mean Halo Infinites bugs have been fixed for the most part but there are a couple still.

[young nexus]

Yeah, I was kind of surprised when I managed to get by pretty scot-free up until my mic decided it was going to stay muted for a few weeks

[normal owl]

They were ahead of their time smh storming my hill.

[hasty zinc]

How dare you accuse me of using GPS spoofing software on my phone to put myself at the nearest 7/11 location. I do not condone such actions and am offended you even suggested it.

[young nexus]

💀💀💀

[normal owl]

ok Telltale Heart lol

[empty fulcrum]

Does anyone wanna play halo infinite with me now? Its the only halo I have downloaded on my PC.

[peak parrot]

So is there rewards in arena?

[young nexus]

I’ve got to head to a store and grab a soda, sorry, but I’m probably going to be playing with my friend

[empty fulcrum]

All good

[young nexus]

I would also love to since I can actually give call outs now

I might be able to convince my friend to join if we end up not playing the game we’re planning on

[young nexus]

So keep an eye out 👀

[balmy tundra]

I'm returning to social skirmish in the hope it won't explode this time

[peak parrot]

I've made it to silver 3, wanna know if it's worth it to try harder

Or if it's just bragging rights

[young nexus]

Honestly, all I can say is it depends

[empty fulcrum]

Will do

[peak parrot]

Depends on what?

[empty fulcrum]

Am I allowed to put my gamertag in this chat?

For xbox

[hasty zinc]

I mean if you're looking for people to play with the LFG channels would be better, you could also link it to your discord so people can see it there

[young nexus]

You can hit me up in DM or go to look for game chat

[young nexus]

Does pushing yourself to perform better equal enjoyment?

That’s a question I had to tackle with this game, and I found enjoyment finding a middle ground

[peak parrot]

Better question: Does pushing myself to perform better equal rewards?

[young nexus]

🙂

[leaden juniper]

No

[young nexus]

It doesn’t.

I’m only here for the enjoyment of playing the game

which to me is enough

[peak parrot]

Alright, back to Unranked I go! Thanks!

[leaden juniper]

You will have an emblem and be happy™️

[normal owl]

Who would you be bragging to?

[peak parrot]

Good point :(

[normal owl]

Same

[young nexus]

I definitely have moments where I do enjoy competitive matches. It’s just I have a stronger preference towards more casual, but still communicating with your teammates kinda feel

[floral pollen]

I'm either gonna do well, or not, at Halo today, since I have had to set up on the downstairs kitchen table at my grandparents house, since I still have no internet at my house

[young nexus]

Finding the balance point between the two has been quite troublesome, but I can almost look past it because of the game feel

[peak parrot]

See, but I like knowing that at the end of the day, you do get rewarded for grinding all this stuff

If there isn't that kinda assurance after everything gets reset, and a new season begins

Then yeah, I don't see a reason to ever touch ranked, personally

I'll just stick with BTBs and have that goofy 2000s Halo Night with the boys vibes I know and love

[dreamy stirrup]

you'll get nameplate/emblems based off your highest rank i think

[young nexus]

OMG, I would love a post game lobby to talk with them after the match xd

I know I joined the franchise recently, but Im interested in time travel

Sounds kind of fun

[peak parrot]

That works for me!

[floral pollen]

Can confirm, you get a Nameplate, Weapon, Armor, and Vehicle emblem based on your highest (or current) rank that season

[peak parrot]

Alright! Now I see a decent reason to challenge myself a bit

[young nexus]

I have to work a lot to get myself into that mindset

I hope you have fun dude

[peak parrot]

Well, I'm not gonna go CRAZY and go for the highest rank

Just gonna see how far I can go

[young nexus]

That’s the spirit

[scarlet parrot]

Heyooooo how's everyone doing today??

[young nexus]

Pretty all right, chatting with lovely halo fans

[peak parrot]

Yeah, no, I know I'll never match up with the likes of Faze, and such... but I'll at least see where I sit, skill wise

And being a Silver 3, just let's me know, I'm not that bad

And that's good enough for me. :)

[balmy tundra]

i remember back in Halo 5 I was trapped in diamond in swat for literal ages

[young nexus]

I fell into playing halo four swat for a while

Ended up introducing my friends that instead of all the games at once

Dude was so cracked. He could get head shots with a pistol across the map on Ragnarok.

He said he wanted his sensitivity higher than Max

[dreamy stirrup]

i hit onyx in swat and immediately started matching the 4 stacked swat pros

i retired

[normal owl]

ugh those swatty lobbies.

Update: no squirrels have visited the peanuts yet.

Now I'm just someone with a bunch of peanuts scattered across one of their office windows. "What's going on there?"

[young nexus]

My family also participates in feeding squirrels peanuts

[normal owl]

🤝

[young nexus]

One of them comes right up to the porch

Oh it’s so adorable

[normal owl]

I would love that! That's the kind of experience I'm hoping for throughout the workday: glance over from my work and see a little buddy enjoying some peanuts.

[young nexus]

Sadly they don’t stick around for long

If they do it might be a bad thing

[normal owl]

It's neat that you get to see them come up close. Squirrels are adorable--and oftentimes hilarious--little creatures.

[fickle drift]
