general-chat

[bright hound]

Well like from my pov halo can stay true to its 4v4 sandbox gamemode and retain its limited gamemodes but if that’s the case it’s just unlikely to appeal to non halo fps fans and halo is unlikely to really regain its former popularity

[young nexus]

Ahh, ok i see

There’s a bit more nuance to the halo sandbox than just the steadfast 4v4 that you’re thinking that it is

343 took the COD pill

[leaden juniper]

i think halo would be popular if it kept to the formula. heck 5 arena was a good showcase of that, can you imagine if instead of req packs you had the level up system and challenges determine armour unlocks?

[bright hound]

Oh definitely. Halo hurt its odds with existing halo fans and other fps fans by releasing a half finished experience. It didn’t innovate on its gamemodes and then alienated existing fans by tripling down on the in game store options, forcing progression to be built around it

[copper meadow]

I don’t think halo will ever truly attract regular fps players. It’s not like any other fps. It’s one of a kind.

[obsidian wyvern]

but the problem with that is punishing new players in a sense. games which make older players op deters new players from sticking with the game

[young nexus]

I would post the gif of SpongeBob guiding the flying Dutchman’s, Ghost Ship through rocks to that

[copper meadow]

Everything else is battle Royale (boring)

[bright hound]

Nothing inherently wrong with that but unless halo suddenly comes up with an entirely new game mode that outsiders want to play the halo community will probably remain around its current size

[young nexus]

The biggest thing that I want to say is don’t get swept up within your own preconceptions of games. Always maintain your critical thought and opinions, upset titles, and be willing to alter or add upon.

[young nexus]

Halo had the winning combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, and kept changing it till it didn’t work. And from the bad positioning, they’re expanding from that instead of taking inspiration from itself.

[leaden juniper]

i don't think any halo has every really made old players op, but for new players that's just part of the learning curve. in infinite everyone's punished equally though lol

[hasty zinc]

The biggest thing I want to say is make sure you stay hydrated, perform regular posture checks and make sure to eat your vegetables

[leaden juniper]

Nice

[young nexus]

Everything’s about enjoying the game. If the game is not fun than that’s the issue to worry about.

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean, if you were to get better weapons by using a level system

unless you're talking about levelling up in match

[young nexus]

Getting better weapons is not with halo should be about.

Halo should be about the party game aesthetic, sandbox, matches, and playing with the boys

[smoky token]

Should it be?

[leaden juniper]

No levelling never had any degree of weapon earning in halo unless you count 5 req packs which were also questionable, but I meant strictly customization

[obsidian wyvern]

isn't levelling what you suggested..?

[leaden juniper]

yes but reach or 4 style

[obsidian wyvern]

but does that not go back to my concern

[young nexus]

I absolutely lothe the fact they included battle passes. Keep that marketable trending out of here instead taking advantage of the player base. The player base will literally lift you to stardom if you take care of them. Not if you abuse and try to milk them for money. That’s how you ruin Good faith and a quality game.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh sorry, took req packs for weapons

my bad

[leaden juniper]

how? you didn't earn weapons for leveling up lol. in 4 i think it did apply to loadouts but that was universally disliked also

oh

[leaden juniper]

state of gaming unfortunately

[young nexus]

All they had to do was go counter to it and succeed. In the end it doesn’t even matter.

[smoky token]

Not sure the battle pass had much to do with the success or lackthereof of the game

[fickle drift]

Hamburger

[bright hound]

Idm it really. It’s purely aesthetics and doesn’t impact gameplay. If there were more earnable options outside of the battle pass I think it’d be more favorable

[young nexus]

It did. Just like seasoning makes the food good

[bright hound]

Also cross core is just a must atp. Earning a shoulder pad for one single core is a bit wild to me lol

[young nexus]

It’s not so much the aesthetics or gameplay more so the thinly veiled FOMO, manipulative and greedy, psychological methods used by battle passes.

absolutely hate that. Subtlety is absolutely the destroyer of titans.

[smoky token]

He hit every buzzword in the book

[young nexus]

Death from 1000 cuts

[smoky token]

I thought this only happened on Reddit

[young nexus]

It’s just marketing, if they wanted to they can try to cram NFT’s in there

The one thing that I do like about it is that they don’t expire

[sudden heart]

they deff taking advantage of players on halo for money

[young nexus]

Imagine buying a battle pass and see that you only have seven minutes left to get three months worth of Content

[smoky token]

This isn't fortnite, if you buy a BP you own it permanently

[hasty zinc]

Subtlety is absolutely the destroyer of titans
did you hear that Titan? you're donezo

[leaden juniper]

fr. I think they could have used the disliking of the modern gaming market to their advantage by essentially advertising it as the antithesis to the battle pass and shop systems. Like how many full price triple A titles would people buy? after the BF2042 nonsense it was a perfect storm for this kind of marketing, but of course I guess the game would have to be in a better state on launch to warrant such marketing

[young nexus]

YES

THIS GUY GETS IT

[bright hound]

Would I rather have paid $60 for a Reach type of system for earning armor? Yea probably. Are there bigger issues than the battle pass? Definitely

[young nexus]

it’s not about the money it’s about the prestige. That’s how you maintain your money. GAHHHH

[civic iris]

Deep Rock Galactic is the shining example of how its done right with what you're sayin. Just take care of your players and they'll return the favor tenfold

[young nexus]

And the copped health support for their own child? Their own baby?? (Microwave)

[young nexus]

Bless

[smoky token]

Deep Rock Galactic... A pure PvE resource harvesting game?

[sudden heart]

thats the only thin good bout halo. but fortnite is winning everywhere else

[young nexus]

But they had to be marketable and trendy with the free to play for a “broader audience”

[civic iris]

Yes, with how they release their content

[young nexus]

all they did, was alienate their Fanbase and dilute the fans that remained.

Halo was miss treated and dropped

I’ll say it

[leaden juniper]

Deep rock is way more than that, but it is also made by a significantly smaller company. all of their content is free, the only paid stuff is supporter packs

[bright hound]

Yea but looking at the other f2p games they all have similar sketchy purchasable cosmetic systems

[smoky token]

The pure third person battle royale with cartoon graphics and almost no cohesive story is winning against Halo in every aspect?

[bright hound]

There was just no way for infinite to be profitable and f2p without the battle pass and cosmetic store

[young nexus]

It’s because everyone’s trying to psychologically take advantage of you

[bright hound]

Really says more about fps games as a whole than just infinite

[young nexus]

That’s why they use following tactics in the shop and have things at Ludacris $20

[leaden juniper]

yeah that is bonkers

[amber mirage]

Ludacris is collabing with Halo?

[leaden juniper]

ow2 has the same kind of complaints too they charge $20 for a skin bro

[young nexus]

Says more about the greedy individuals, in meetings that have influence really

[sudden heart]

Fortnite releases content for br, creative, and campaign every update. you can earn v-bucks if you own the game, so you pay once and can earn ANYTHING by playing. which i wish other games like halo and cod would do

[young nexus]

I wish halo would’ve been halo. Literally take it from 2008 I don’t care. That would’ve been perfect fresh air in this gaming economy.

[leaden juniper]

H3A

[young nexus]

H3A

And try again from there

[bright hound]

Consequences of having 50/60 year old board members in charge of game franchises

[young nexus]

YES

A third of my vocabulary is GIFs in response

[smoky token]

In terms of gameplay, Halo is the same as it's always been

[young nexus]

It hurts not using then

[young nexus]

Wrong

[bright hound]

Yea honestly gameplay is infinite’s best attribute. Feels like a good modernization of the og gameplay. Just wish everything else around it was as good

[young nexus]

Don’t fall into that trap @smoky token

[smoky token]

What trap

[young nexus]

Exactly

Have you heard about the boiling frog example?

[amber mirage]

Getting into conspiracy theory talk

[young nexus]

I’m just dipping on my toes

[leaden juniper]

i think that gameplay wise infinite was a return to baseline, but that being said the levels helped out to polish that too. i think the open world did more harm than good

[young nexus]

The main thing that I’m getting at is the subtle changes that happen around you are too small to notice and as more things are added the new normal changes

Meaning: if qualities or conditions get worse, they tend to keep getting worse

But you’re used to the new normal, so you continue like nothings wrong

[smoky token]

Oh lord, I can see where this is going

[young nexus]

And from when you started; the bar in which you would’ve acted, has now shifted

That’s it

[leaden juniper]

I remember playing reach and being like "why do I have sprint" thinking that was the worst thing to befallen on this franchise...

[hasty zinc]

then you played the campaign and it got worse

[young nexus]

Exactly. And now we’re fine with Sprint in infinite?

It only took the growing pains of five to consider sprint to be fine

[leaden juniper]

campaign was solid for reach though? story had some issues but gameplay was was a great entry

[sudden heart]

custom game sprint disabled - problem solved

[young nexus]

343 did add a good balance between outrageous and nonexistent, didn’t they. Honestly, that fact alone is pretty impressive and I wanted to get some kudos to that.

But the fact that we’re OK with Sprint in halo now

at least partially

[hasty zinc]

can't have our advanced super soldiers all running around

[leaden juniper]

speaking of 5, did you know that the walking movement speed in 5 is actually the fastest in any halo? the maps were enlarged to give an illusion of distance and speed, but ironically they wouldn't have needed to be

[young nexus]

😭

[leaden juniper]

they should be running all the time doomguy style

[young nexus]

honestly, the approach of infinite was great.

[leaden juniper]

but infitinte is a good balance ill take it

yeah agree

[young nexus]

But your bar for including sprint in a halo title has moved

[young nexus]

Referring back to this

[obsidian wyvern]

what do I doooo
I've lost the last enemy in this mission and I can't progress, but I can't find them

[young nexus]

If they keep doing more stupid stuff like NF tees in battle passes, and what other seasonal stuff? It just raises your bar of tolerance, higher and higher.

[bright hound]

I really loved 5’s movement system. Kinda sad that halo 5 and titanfall weren’t more popular because both were so fun

[sudden heart]

restart

[smoky token]

have you all seen what happened with SpaceX this morning

[young nexus]

No

[hasty zinc]

what's SpaceX?

[leaden juniper]

for sure. I think 5's movement was pretty dope, but the charge was a bit busted...

[young nexus]

What’s a Elon?

[obsidian wyvern]

I would like to avoid that since it took me forever

[hasty zinc]

that happened to me with tank gun and I shot the enemies out of the mission area, I just sat there and it eventually progressed

[smoky token]

Rocket had a "rapid unplanned disassembly" a couple minutes after it took off

[hasty zinc]

well technically it was planned since it self destructed

[young nexus]

Yikes

[young nexus]

It only took the extreme movement abilities of halo five to normalize to modern giving standards of movement.

[hasty zinc]

it was by all measures an extremely successful launch, even if it went exactly to plan it would have been destroyed anyway

[civic iris]

Feels pretty silly lookin back

[obsidian wyvern]

ugh

[young nexus]

So there was error practically outside of margin, but the mission was still a success?

👀

[foggy ingot]

All failures are successes if you learn from them

[leaden juniper]

ye. while i liked 5in a vaccum i acknowledge how problematic it could have been for the future of halo movement

[gloomy pond]

My Spartan model has more bullet magnetism than the weapons themselves

[hasty zinc]

so the whole goal was liftoff and clearing of tower, to see if launching a rocket of that size could actually fly. It did and it went far. Everything after it cleared the tower was all bonus stuff

[young nexus]

Oh ok

[gilded night]

i’m a firm enjoy of halo without the sprint mechanic, but it’s not exactly a bad thing considering spartans are freak of natures it’s to be expected they don’t waltz around

[young nexus]

Yeah. Is an example of positive evolution. But the only issue from that is that that slight sprint also adds into the feedback loop of everybody’s being sweaty every single game, including in casual, and I can’t take it anymore Please help me god

[leaden juniper]

that's what i thought doom 2016 multiplayer did so well

the movement was super fast but no sprint

[young nexus]

And then they screwed over the music composer, Mick Gordon with the next doom game 😒

[leaden juniper]

yeah i'm aware... good gameplay tho

[hasty zinc]

I did not like Doom 2016 MP at all

[smoky token]

Me neither

[gilded night]

it makes sense that as technology advanced and the franchise expanded they’re eventually going to add a sprint mechanic, i think Halo: Reach did a good thing on adding the spring as an armour mod making it more optional but also to warm up fans to the addition of it in normal core gameplay

[smoky token]

felt unresponsive, clunky, and too... vanilla

Just boring

[young nexus]

I tried playing it, but the gameplay wasn’t my style

[hasty zinc]

yep the perfect word, boring

[leaden juniper]

i loved it, though i think it could have taken a note from quake in terms of weapons. the game had a massive skillgap and that's why it wasn't very popular

[gilded night]

its doom, skill gaps like half the game

[obsidian wyvern]

doom 2016 took forever to pick up, once you unlock more weapons, it becomes a lot more fun

[young nexus]

That’s thinkin from a modern perspective, looking back to when they first launched the game the amount of lash back over the armor abilities was immense

[leaden juniper]

fr

[obsidian wyvern]

doom eternal took even longer to pick up, didn't have fun at all in the beginning

[open crater]

hey guys

whats up?

is there any hippies perhaps?

[hasty zinc]

oh great, RP no RP

[open crater]

oh ok

soz

[leaden juniper]

doom eternal made you work for the thrill it offered. play that game on nightmare and man, the rush and constant barrage of everything is unlike any other shooter i've played

[gilded night]

the armour abilities were alright, they weren’t super overpowered and made the game fun (excluding AL) and it was completely option to use them which was a good thing to make them optional but i do still enjoy the the old halo gameplay it’s more fun and brings me back

[young nexus]

It was definitely trying something new

And then 343 took out running and sprinting off into the fields of halo 4 land

[smoky token]

I had a similar experience with Ultrakill

No holds barred

[gilded night]

it makes sense that bungie would eventually try to expand on what the spartans could do inside of gameplay

[gilded night]

we don’t talk about Halo 4

[leaden juniper]

yeah ultrakill had that philosophy as well

[young nexus]

Yeah, it was unfortunate that three for three didn’t use the insight to refer to the previous games, and it instead branched off mainly from reach

[smoky token]

three for three? Why not just type 343?

[gilded night]

funnies

[leaden juniper]

as in 3 mid games

[young nexus]

I’m using dictation

Anywhere the wind blows brother

[smoky token]

Be constructive

[young nexus]

I have a slight negative bias towards some of the titles but I’m still trying to be constructive

[gilded night]

i enjoy mostly all of the halo games but it’s very clearly that 343’s take on Halo is significantly less fun to play than bungies, with the exception of maybe infinite since they’re trying to cater towards fans which is a nice touch but it still doesn’t feel right

[young nexus]

I get the feeling that they thought they could make it better or that they knew best for some reason

[leaden juniper]

yeah there are aspects that again went in the right direction and then other areas just completely regressed

[gilded night]

yeah it’s like they moved 4 steps forward then periodically take 2 steps back

they were headed in the right direction then took like a 90° turn

[young nexus]

• proceeds to have four minute long Dialogue cut scene while referring to out of game lore*

[leaden juniper]

new bungie does the same stuff now too... heck most triple A games do

[foggy ingot]

I think it depends on who you ask too - a lot of this stuff really depends on what folks like too

[gilded night]

i hate that whenever i log onto infinite i always have to skip the wolves cutscene even if i click that i don’t want to watch the cutscene it still makes me watch it

[young nexus]

Corporate interest took a route and it’s so much harder to be dynamic and agile

[leaden juniper]

of course, that's fair

[young nexus]

I know right, look at this well-rendered, cutscene and ignore the lack of content you’re about to ingest. Sorry that’s a bit to pessimistic.

[foggy ingot]

For example I have issues with each Halo title but I love Halo 5/Infinite more than any of the other games because they were a lot of fun/still are a lot of fun for me. Infinite feels reallllly smooth the play and Halo 5 has the coolest weapon sandbox that I want in Infinite

[leaden juniper]

yeah absolutely. bungie set themselves up for success by essentially being an independent wing. 343 was made in house specifically for halo, it's just fundamentally two different dynamics

[foggy ingot]

Whereas while I loved Halo 1/3 when they came out, I don’t really get any joy from them now because the new mechanics just feel so good

[gilded night]

it depends on people’s tastes really. I think most people have become accustomed to how 343 make Halo games and it’s just the norm now, it’s the same with resident evil and how my friends started playing re5 instead of the older version and they say that re5 is really good, thankfully i’ve got my friend to buy MCC after playing infinite and i’m hoping he takes a wider appreciation to the old legacy games

[young nexus]

It could’ve been so much more on top of that though, which is the real shame to feel

[gilded night]

i started Halo on ODST so i’m pretty biased to the old bungie games and how they orientated their gameplay

[foggy ingot]

With Infinite there's still time to add to it/polish things up - I really hope things keep moving in a good direction here/things get added

[young nexus]

Was. 7 years.

I’m going to say the D word

[foggy ingot]

I started with H1 on PC and I was addicted to it - loved it at the time and it will always have a special place for me

[young nexus]

I started playing destiny with my friends

[gilded night]

yeah let’s just hope 343 keeps the attitude that they’re trying to improve the franchise and give the majority of fans what they want in a newer style

[jolly willow]

Are you green, pink and purple actually paid now?
Your category is "staff"

[gilded night]

that’s just me with ODST, i’ll always love the rainy and dark cityscape and the story, it’s a shame how the book went following the game

[young nexus]

That’s the real stuff right there

[leaden juniper]

yeah i understand that, it's just comparing the games in terms of fluidity is sometimes a slippery slope because obviously i expect a game from the modern age to be much smoother than something from 2007, so with that in mind while I acknowledge the fludity and smoothness of infinite there is of course more elements alongside those progressions that also need to be present

[young nexus]

10 months development time and it’s still a better product than infinite. That’s GigaChad energy.

[gilded night]

that’s because Rookie carried 🗣️

[queen remnant]

And a smaller game

[foggy ingot]

I mean ODST is just Halo 3 with bells and whistles if we're talking dev time 😄

[queen remnant]

That it was intended to be a DLC

[gilded night]

infinitely smaller (no pun intended)

[young nexus]

Most impact came from the storytelling they managed to pull from that. Nevertheless, it’s still a superior product sadly.

[gilded night]

ODST was a DLC to 3 if i’m not mistaken

[young nexus]

It was supposed to be, but was later change into its own title to fit with Microsoft expectation for two more games before the company left

[queen remnant]

But Microsoft or Bungie, maybe both, said to better make it full game but still is smaller than all halo games

[smoky token]

Nope, it was made and sold as it's own game at $60

[gilded night]

i’m just praying we get a remake of ODST or a continuation into the books with the insurgents but it’s very unlikely sadly

[leaden juniper]

intended to be but ms decided to sell it lmao, it came with h3 multiplayer if you didn't have h3 tho

[young nexus]

Still more content than infinite😎

[gilded night]

it was intended to be a dlc or something similar since it’s named “Halo 3: ODST”

[smoky token]

We do get a continuation of ODST's story with Halo: New Blood and Halo: Bad Blood

[foggy ingot]

My hope is we get Forge tools in Infinite to create mini campaigns - a long shot but holy heck imagine what the community could do with new single playerish content

[gilded night]

i’m talking about a game adaption of the books

[smoky token]

Intent doesn't really matter, it was sold as a full game

[queen remnant]

That's sure is a take

[gilded night]

red vs blue style

[gilded night]

fair point

[young nexus]

They could literally make spinoff titles off of just the stories from that

Holy mackerel

[gilded night]

and they’d be great (i hope, i pray they don’t mess up ODST)

[foggy ingot]

Also 343 if you're watching right now I'd also love Halo Wars 3 but with the plot of the Rubicon Protocol

[hasty zinc]

Beginning of Game. Scene: fade in on rookie down on his knees, tears can be seen running down his cheeks.. BANG Rookie is dead. Fade to black. Roll credits

[young nexus]

Instead of killing off the Master chief, so soon just keep him as a figurehead and have stories happening, while master chief is on the ring insurgency problematic it could just be humans versus humans and then sprinkle in some aliens

You just need the right people to write the story for that

[smoky token]

$70 with pay 2 win microtransactions

[gilded night]

immaculate, already better than 5

[foggy ingot]

Yeah, I love the Chief but there's a huge universe to exploit explore here

[young nexus]

And on top of that, you could use the books as inspiration for shorter campaigns, or story missions. There’s so many ways to make more halo content great

[leaden juniper]

still more campaign levels than 4 😎

[pliant hatch]

finally might have a fix for ping spikes in Infinite

[queen remnant]

Nice

[gilded night]

pay $70 for the cutscene and another $40 to play the game

[young nexus]

Eyy yooo

[queen remnant]

What

[steady jolt]

No, means server staff. Only paid people here are 343 employees / yellow roles

[gilded night]

the books really are a blessing

[hasty zinc]

no a Halo video

[young nexus]

Oh nvm then

The believe trailer?

Oh God, I forgot how good some of the trailers for halo were

[hasty zinc]

yes, I need a hero by Bonnie Tyler reminded me of the Halo 3 believe trailer

[young nexus]

I’m throwing out guesses left and right here. I’m not trying to hit anything.

[hasty zinc]

That was epic.

I thought you were talking about the infinite clip my bad

The believe trailer was such a humbling storytelling fixture. God it was so good.

I remember a trailer of reach gameplay.

It was just better. It made me wanna play reach.

How do you know you've only watched it 100 of 100s of times

It had so much character. Beautiful music. The frame by frame horrific struggle for survival against the covenant. It was art through and through

[cinder adder]

[obsidian wyvern]

The frame by frame horrific struggle to capture the flag against the enemy team

[civic iris]

LOL

Too real

[young nexus]

Halo infinite fails to capture that feeling. Or at least bring you in. Every. Single. Time. I play the bungee campaigns. I can’t help myself, but get sucked into the story every time.

[cinder adder]

😅

[queen remnant]

To war

[obsidian wyvern]

there's literally a sign which says to take it to the intended destination lol, but everyone always goes to the flag spawn

[young nexus]

Because where else are you supposed to take but to your flag?

A sign that you don’t always see is not as useful as knowing that your flag is there, take it there.

[obsidian wyvern]

...to the place where you cap the flag

[queen remnant]

The sign is very noticeable

[young nexus]

not really.

[hasty zinc]

you're very noticeable, gottem

[cinder adder]

Your moms house ... owwwwh

[obsidian wyvern]

like I understand sometimes missing it, but people just sit on there doing 360s lol

[young nexus]

have you ever been so panicked where you’re unable to have a critical thought while trying to survive desperately in a halo match?

[queen remnant]

Need bigger with neon and most likely people would miss it

[obsidian wyvern]

need big red arrows

[cinder adder]

😲

[queen remnant]

Go here 😱

[young nexus]

Need a guy to guide you there

[hasty zinc]

anything but red

[obsidian wyvern]

the 😱 emoji and a few circles too

[young nexus]

The red would blend into the map, you’re right

[obsidian wyvern]

beat me to it lol

[fossil skiff]

Beautiful

[young nexus]

You can’t cap if your flag is missing right, so why move the capture enemy flag location from your flag?

[cinder adder]

Well his life got saved ... twice

[queen remnant]

Skill issue

[obsidian wyvern]

as an awesome hog driver (rok will say otherwise), no. I know where to go each time

[cinder adder]

Or am I counting wrong?

[fickle drift]

hello

[obsidian wyvern]

not in btb

[young nexus]

That’s a genuine gameplay question.

[obsidian wyvern]

you can cap when your flag is missingn

[young nexus]

Hectic need simplicity don’t complicate it with a separate spot

Math is math (mr. Incredibles gif here)

[hasty zinc]

oh i dont got image perms lol

[young nexus]

If you try really hard

[obsidian wyvern]

I got a screenshot of someone doing that yesterday one sec

[cinder adder]

Do you test his warthog motion when you meet in person?

[fickle drift]

with the power of spite anything is possible

[fickle drift]

It always is

[young nexus]

You can never escape

[queen remnant]

Yup

[obsidian wyvern]

i was shocked

[cinder adder]

Math is math

[hollow hamlet]

Very nice. That's around where mine is at as well.

[young nexus]

You can reach five hours 20 minutes next time

[supple hazel]

I was shooting for 5:40 but yk what that's also pretty good

[obsidian wyvern]

i should edit it to make it slightly louder

👋

[young nexus]

Yes

[civic iris]

NOOOOO Aquis got muted lmao

[young nexus]

What why?

[civic iris]

Idk its easy to get muted on here

Not knowing what words are prohibited and stuff

I got muted the other day on accident trying to say a duke nukem quote lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

lol rip

bad aim paid off

[smoky token]

Shouldn’t that have penetrated the first guy and hit the second guy?

Or was the aim off

[young nexus]

Yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

my aim was nowhere near the other guy

[young nexus]

Aww

[obsidian wyvern]

i got lucky with the other dude

[young nexus]

Rip indeed

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[young nexus]

I have a funny screenshot one frame before I get a headshot buy a pistol bullet on halo four

[obsidian wyvern]

you can use imgur

[young nexus]

I tried, and it didn’t work

https://i.imgur.com/oP1Mpwm.jpg

See

[balmy tundra]

How do mutes here work?

[civic iris]

You get 3 warnings then get muted, first 1 is 24 hours, im assuming it gets progressively worse lol

[smoky token]

If you get 3 warnings, which are usually automatically moderated by the bot, you get a one day warn. 6 is 2 days. Pretty sure 9 is a ban.

Our profanity filters are pretty strict so be careful

[young nexus]

I sent you my warnings log lmao

[balmy tundra]

Thank you

[shell tundra]

craig

[young nexus]

craig

[civic iris]

LOL imma send you mine too, the silliest warnings I swear

[shell tundra]

i dont have any warnings

[young nexus]

You’re Craig

[young nexus]

Keep it like that

[civic iris]

[shell tundra]

ima gud boy

[civic iris]

You get good noodle stars

[young nexus]

Im gonna make some food

And im watching Mario sunshine Tas

Lovely chatting with you guys and I was glad I was able to articulate my frustrations with infinite

[round laurel]

That's because you were the warning.

[young nexus]

But for the most part, I am looking forward to the future

[gilded grotto]

Do you guys know if Halo 5 playarbase is active ? Specially Firefight

[late spire]

try doing the training mode with the S7 it's helped me a little

[smoky token]

Last time I tried it took me a few minutes to find a game, you'd probably find some luck with the built in Xbox LFG system

[balmy tundra]

Heroic is almost always active

Mythic is harder, usually on weekends it’s pretty active

[gilded grotto]

[thorny glen]

I noticed 👀

didn't answer my question tho 😢

[grizzled gazelle]

Dunno why but I feel like I'm in some sort of Halo content drought.

Ian/Halo Canon has been in permanent vacation (it feels like)

Generalkidd, and 00 have had some good content off and on

I feel bad for not watching Covenant Canon's stuff despite being subbed to them

HiddenXperia, MintBlitz really haven't put out anything interesting,

Ecksheartladder hasn't done anything Halo related in a while.

[gilded grotto]

Good i guess, really miss that gamemode

[balmy tundra]

Eckharts does halo once every 4 months as far as I remember, and that was like 5 years ago

[hasty zinc]

lmao https://haloreach.isnotcanon.net/

[thorny glen]

Halo Canon went on permanent vacation/hideous from Youtube altogether to focus on his own personal issues. Afaik, he's most likely not coming back.

GeneralKidd just makes videos about glitches, if a glitch pops up, no matter how obscure, he'll make a vid on it.

Installation 00 idk.

HiddenXPeria is moving away from primarily Halo content.

MintBlitz just makes random vids

Ecksheartladder isn't a Halo youtuber

[thorny glen]

are you just now finding out about this website

[hasty zinc]

yeah

[thorny glen]

how tf
I've used it in all my arguments about why reach is terrible

[balmy tundra]

I had no idea that is real

[civic iris]

Me and Dark were finding heroic firefight matches just fine a few days ago, shouldn't have a problem with it

[gilded grotto]

Damn

[copper meadow]

Blasphemy

[thorny glen]

bet you guys didn't know the Halo community also hated Halo 2 at one point

http://www.halo2sucks.com (you need to view this link on the wayback machine)

[civic iris]

Damn lmao

[gilded grotto]

I knew that before yeah

[grizzled gazelle]

Are people still hating on Reach over a decade later?

[civic iris]

Halo 2 aged like fine wine man

[thorny glen]

Of course I am, reach is the worst halo ever made 😎

[queen remnant]

Still mid

[civic iris]

👁👁

[late spire]

whoa whoa whoa there buddy

[queen remnant]

But if you enjoyed it that's fine

[thorny glen]

I didn't make that website though but whoever did, did a great job

[copper meadow]

Reach>infinite

[balmy tundra]

Yeah, it’s usually the same guys who dredge up the forerunner retcon thing

[gilded grotto]

Wait, why is with date/s3x bords?

[copper meadow]

Story wise reach was better. I refuse to play wars 2 just to understand infinite

[queen remnant]

Story wasn't any better either

[grizzled gazelle]

The only thing Halo 2 was missing imo was more hard rock... for example GNR, ACDC, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, KISS, Motley Crue

[queen remnant]

You know what, I agree with that

[late spire]

don't really need to play wars 2 to understand infinite, wars 2 just gives you an understanding on who atriox is

[gilded grotto]

Good luck paying for all that man

[queen remnant]

Imagine one of those groups

It is the best minecraft game but also one of the worst Gatorade flavors yet. 17/10.5 penguinz

@finite cypress

[late spire]

sir, those were not words

[finite cypress]

👀

[amber mirage]

Funny enough, I imagine Minecraft is a big reason Halo lost popularity, especially in the Forge space

[dreamy stirrup]

i thought you'd like it #general-chat message

[grizzled gazelle]

Toontown > Club Penguin.

[copper meadow]

They definitely were words, just not coherent ones…

[finite cypress]

What a weird sequence of English words

[finite cypress]

Also I'll fight you over this

[grizzled gazelle]

I'm just speaking my mind, F5

[slate ice]

Hi All, I've found a workaround to the settings reset bug

[round laurel]

Go on...

[late spire]

for infinite?

[gilded grotto]

Habbo?

[slate ice]

Yss

[late spire]

yo, what is it?

[slate ice]

Current workaround for settings reset bug.

1. Launch Halo Infinite
2. Press Gude>Settings>Network Settings>Go offline
3. Go back to Halo Infinite and Press A to start
4. When main menu appears press Guide, tab across to Profile/System and "Go online"
5. Go back to game and voila

@dreamy stirrup @rocky oasis Don't know if this is any use to you. Also posted it on twitter and asked for feedback

[calm fiber]

Please don't tag 343 employees. See #rules-and-guidelines for more information.

[slate ice]

Noted about tagging employees. Thought it'd be useful to share

[late spire]

yo where is network settings, can't seem to find it

[livid nova]

Is it weird to say that despite it's flaws, Infinite is my 2nd favorite of all the Halo games?

[slate ice]

If you tab across to the profile bit in the guide menu and then go to settings. When settings opens its under general settings

[smoky token]

No, its a very good game

[livid nova]

It was actually the first one I played

I knew about the series before it, but I was able to get Infinite first

[round laurel]

So which Halo game takes first place then?

[livid nova]

Reach

[hasty zinc]

Halo Wars and Spartan Assault

[livid nova]

Spartan Assault

Infinite has my favorite gameplay in the series, but Reach wins in the customization and not having microtransactions

[hasty zinc]

it just had map packs which were worse

[rare fox]

👁👁

Who up playin for 420

[dreamy stirrup]

pass.

[round laurel]

it's 214 here

[rare fox]

I mean the date silly

April 20th

I play way better after I’ve had a little for some reason lol

[round laurel]

Yeah it's 214 here

[round laurel]

I like water.

[supple hazel]

Got turned to an alternate I didn't run the 4 by 800

[rare fox]

That’s really cool

What do you like about it

[round laurel]

It's just neat.

[rare fox]

That’s fair

Could really go for a glass of crisp cool water straight from a glacial pool

Yum yum yummy

[fossil skiff]

Ice cold water is unsurpassed

Especially after working in the yard

[thorny glen]

@elfin glacier
i appear in halo waypoint articles now

wanted to know your opinion on this

[cedar turret]

what halo waypoint?

[thorny glen]

canon fodder article lol
i asked a question but it got poorly answered 😢

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-ship-strike

[latent pendant]

hello

how to play open world outside missions in halo infinite

[thorny glen]

"open world outside missions" ?

[latent pendant]

I want to explore open world without playing missions

[thorny glen]

you can just do that normally

although to fully explore the entire open world you need to have a close to 100% campaign save

[latent pendant]

sad

[thorny glen]

not entirely 100% just once you reach the sequence mission then everything is unlocked

it's pretty easy to do ngl

just reach the sequence mission and you pretty much have everything available

[latent pendant]

how long does it take

[thorny glen]

not that long if you speed run it

maybe 30 minutes on easy

or less

[latent pendant]

I am already in the open world map but I dont know can I explore it know?

[cedar turret]

Find the sandwhich

[thorny glen]

you can explore specific sections of the open world depending on where you are but not the entire thing all at once yes

without following the main story missions

although the weapon will get annoying with constantly telling you "hey chief go do the main mission like right now what are u doing" repeated 500x over

[latent pendant]

yeah idc

where can I find planes

[thorny glen]

planes?

[latent pendant]

yeah

[thorny glen]

what do you mean

[latent pendant]

I want to fly planes

[thorny glen]

you only got wasp and banshees nothing else

[latent pendant]

🛫

[thorny glen]

yea no planes

or pelicans or phantoms, can't fly those

[latent pendant]

why not

[thorny glen]

343i doesn't make them available

[elfin glacier]

Get out of my head aaaaaaaaaaa

[late spire]

use to be a glitch to fly a pelican'

[thorny glen]

Halo 4

Aegisfake, what is your favorite?

[molten pelican]

i see this as an absolute win

[rare cedar]

Sol, why are you dreading Friday

[molten pelican]

just testing the rules

[molten pelican]

h4 is the best I agree

[cedar turret]

That's not a GT.

It doesn't mention the word Dark

[molten pelican]

wait aegis what interview was it for

[smoky token]

A job

[fossil skiff]

I have a symposium where I have to stand next to me poster for 3 hours and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed

[molten pelican]

fantastic

[fossil skiff]

Cause I feel like I don’t know enough about it. Impostor syndrome go brrrr

[molten pelican]

No, CE AR go brrr

[fossil skiff]

I’ve always thought it was more of a dun da dun

[molten pelican]

dont gaslight yourself

[fossil skiff]

In remastered at least

[molten pelican]

remastered is the imposter

its not real

honestly its kinda off a lot lol

[smoky token]

With CEA, I think that means that Halo has officially been handled - in part or wholly - by Embracer Group twice, right?

First with Custom Edition and Gearbox, and then a second time with Saber Interactive on CEA

[amber mirage]

Technically three times, even though it was before Embracer Group.

Saber did both Anniversaries

[smoky token]

Ah, didnt check the acquisition date

[amber mirage]

Embracer is very recent

[lime lagoon]

Me and my friends was debating about something interesting, how well do you think an elites energy shields or Spartans would hold up against gigantic elephant and rhino hunting guns like 700 nitro express if the elite or spartan was hit point blank in the face usually these rounds are designed for ranges of 100 meters because they will just blow things to peices in close range

[smoky token]

Is Certain Affinity owned by MS or are they independent?

[amber mirage]

Independent

[lime lagoon]

Personally I think an elephant rifle would split an elite in half through its shields

[smoky token]

Spartan shields can canonically tank air-to-ground missiles and 14.5x114mm APFSDS rounds

[cedar turret]

I dug a moat. I'm safe.

[lime lagoon]

You know that elephant rifles carry more velocity than most missiles

[smoky token]

velocity, yeah, but not kinetic power

[lime lagoon]

For example an elephant rifle round impact is greater than. Hellfire missile or a 50 BMG

But has no armor piercing effect

It's 33,000 pounds if force compared to anti tank rifles which are 19,000

[smoky token]

If you mean something like .950 JDJ, yeah, it would probably penetrate and split an elite in half, unless it's a Zealot or something

We really don't have exact energy numbers so we can't calculate

[lime lagoon]

No 700 nitro express

And 600 nitro express

[molten pelican]

big gun go big boom

[lime lagoon]

A 14.5x114 from thr halo sniper carries 24,000 pounds of force

[smoky token]

I doubt that, since a Hellfire has a warhead that is over 100 pounds and has double that in tnt-equivalent explosive potential

I mean, hellfires are used to kill tanks

[lime lagoon]

OK maybe not missiles but it's confirmed that elephant rifles carry more torque and power than anti tank rifles

[smoky token]

Whats the average muzzle velocity of a .700

?

[lime lagoon]

It's a proven fact because anti tank rifles can't kill an elephant in one headshot unless you get it perfect in the brain

[molten pelican]

elon rocket does trick

[lime lagoon]

700 is 33,000 pounds

[smoky token]

Thats not muzzle velocity

hold on let me google

[lime lagoon]

That's impact force only

That's how much force the bullet applies when It stops and hits an object

But it's a rounded tip

There's also a round identical to nitro express that is even bigger it's called 4 bore designed for wild bore and rhino's

[smoky token]

I mentioned .950 JDJ earlier

Big round, bullet itself is half a pound

[lime lagoon]

It's basically a handheld version of a ship mounted puckle cannon which on average will blow a bowling ball size hole through most matter like wood and steel

[smoky token]

Its hard to measure

[lime lagoon]

Because both pickle guns and 4 bore rounds both carry 41,000 pounds of force

Than after that point it starts to get into actual cannons

[smoky token]

a Longsword air-to-ground missile (probably close to a Hellfire) gets bounced, but a 14.5mm APFSDS can penetrate

Yknow what

I think eric nylund just doesnt know how to use math

[lime lagoon]

Lol true

But yeah if it came to close quarters I would go with a double barrel elephant rifle over an anti tank rifle for sure against elites

I forgot to mention if you fire both barrels at once out of the elephant rifle it triples its force up to like 120,000 pounds of force

But it has like no penetration it can't go through thick armor just flesh

If it has a piercing tip my God it would be op it would definitely beat out anti tank rifles if it has a tungsten pointed tip

[molten pelican]

nothing compares to your racoon army

[cedar turret]

Raccoons are evil.

[copper meadow]

They just want a hug

[paper trellis]

good evening guys

[cedar turret]

Hugs are evil

[restive shadow]

Happy 420 to all who celebrate

[mellow arch]

I am a bit confused on how to unlock things. Is it all just stuff that you purchase? It doesn't seem like a lot of things released in season two are on the season two battle-pass. So I am just wondering if there are challenges, game-modes or something that I am missing to unlock stuff in the game

[frail walrus]

All items in a battle pass are auto unlocked via XP gained from playing the game.

You can earn XP just by playing matches and by completing weekly challenges.

Each week, there is a cosmetic available through completing the set of weekly challenges

[mellow arch]

So if we miss the weekly challenge to unlock an item do we have to wait for a rotation or something?

[near tree]

Yeah, 80% of items are purchased. You can unlock things through events when they're running, but when they're over you can't get that stuff anymore
There's also the weekly challenges, which allows you to get one item a week. Sometimes they reuse them, but usually that week is the only time to get en

[frail walrus]

Yes but it is not known if or when they will return

[near tree]

Sometimes they rotate, sometimes they don't, you'll just have to keep watching

[near tree]

Yeah, what he said

[frail walrus]

Items are not repeated. This only occurred during the Winter Update

there are no repeats in season 3

[mellow arch]

okay, thanks for the info guys.

[near tree]

Np

[near tree]

Good to know, I'll have to be more diligent then

[near tree]

The firewall event should be returning in a few weeks, which will let you get some super cool exclusive stuff for Chimera

[mellow arch]

There are so many things I would work towards in this game just through gameplay. It's really to bad that it's locked by events and wallets, as well as totally misseable.

[mellow arch]

I'll have to check things out during this, to see if anything that would be cool to have is available

[leaden juniper]

a design flaw of the f2p model

[mellow arch]

I bought the game and I'll buy the next one, and the next one. Should be something in it for the old-school gamers, haha

[near tree]

Yeah, but if you keep playing you'll get stuff
I haven't put a dime into cosmetics, and I haven't been too diligent with the events til recently, yet I have a pretty sick looking spartan
Mostly stuff from the free winter battle pass with a helmet from a low tier on the jfo event and bell toll visor, a weekly ultimate item

[near tree]

Oh, if you bought the campaign there's stuff you can unlock through there too!
All of the mjolnor lockers get you cosmetics, plus a few for a few special achievements

I believe there's a lot of red banished skins for guns and vehicles

[mellow arch]

Totally, I am pretty sure I have gotten at least 90% of those if not all of them. That's the type of gameplay grind I'm lookin for in the multiplayer yo unlock items ya know? The battle pass is one thing, that I think everyone understands. It's all the other content released in the same season that is unachievable that I was curious about.

[near tree]

Yep

Yeah most of them are store items, that's what funds development and server upkeep and such

Rest are events and weekly items

[mellow arch]

hahaha, alright sorry one more question! Where do I find the events and weekly items to unlock, having a hell of a time trying to find it

[calm fiber]

The FIREWALL event weeks are scheduled for the following dates:

Week 1: March 21-28
Week 2: April 11-18
Week 3: May 23-30
Week 4: June 13-20

Each week, players can unlock up to 10 tiers of their 20-tier Event Pass.

[smoky token]

The next one is may 23-30 for the Firewall event

[mellow arch]

Is the event pass for weekly tiers different than the battle pass?

[smoky token]

What do you mean

[near tree]

Weekly ultimate rewards can be found in challenges (press y, go to challenges next to battle pass). The item and ultimate challenge are shown on the right. Complete all of the challenges to unlock it. Should be 10 challenges+ ultimate challenge

[near tree]

It's an event pass much like a battle pass. Everytime you complete a challenge, you go up a tier and the XP still goes toward your regular battle pass

[mellow arch]

I'm sorry, I must be missing something. Pressing Y just brings up the chat

[smoky token]

People can buy from the shop if they want to

[smoky token]

He’s probably on controller. Simply click on the top right battle pass/event pass icon

[mellow arch]

haha, Im on PC]

[near tree]

Not midmatch
Controls might be different for you

[near tree]

Oh, idk then lol
I play console

[mellow arch]

oh haha, sorry

[near tree]

There should be a button for the battle pass and stuff at the top right of the ui. Maybe click it?

Idk, any other PC players here?

[smoky token]

🖐️

[near tree]

How do you see your challenges, new Aegis?

[smoky token]

I click on the button in the top right, like I said

[near tree]

Oh, I didn't see you literally responded
I'm dumb lol

And he responded to your response

Okay, that's a sign it's time for me to go to bed
Night guys

[vast tiger]

Happy Thursday!!

[smoky token]

Feliz Jueves

[fossil skiff]

Aegis has evolved into many forms ig

[smoky token]

Do you find my new form… disturbing?

[forest lagoon]

I think this form is lacking craigtana

[wet smelt]

[green belfry]

Lol I feel like an addict because I completed every event and battle pass and own almost every thing in the shop from season 1&2🥲

I’m waiting for noob cube to make its rotation back I want itttt

[rare cedar]

Nice!!

How does it feel to have so many options to choose from when it comes to armor, coatings, stances, etc

[green belfry]

It’s nice honestly. I make everything match Lol. Color coordinated.

[paper trellis]

millions of customization combinations…

[green belfry]

I love the stances alot: I have so many favorite. It sucks that they don’t have much armor colors for the mark b outfit. I wish I can use my other colors on my other Spartans for it sometimes since that one got chiefs helmet

[paper trellis]

344 was originally gonna do that

343*

[green belfry]

Yea and there was a concept idea to put the cat ears on chiefs helmet too.😂 I would have loved that

[paper trellis]

sometimes the game will glitch and your armor gets cross swapped with accessories and helmets. So its not that 343 cant do it. They just wont

[rare cedar]

I see you’re back to nagging 343 again

[paper trellis]

nah ive chilled

but they can do it

[rare cedar]

Riiiiiiight

[paper trellis]

am i wrong tho?

im not, good answer

[rare cedar]

Of course they can do it. Maybe it’s a flip of a switch. B

[green belfry]

I use the Mark VII the most because that one have the most customization options. I have so so many colors. Especially a lot of the twitch drop colors. Sometimes I use the Mark V (B) one but those my top 2.

[rare cedar]

But I’m not one to say they will so I just let it ride it’s course

[green belfry]

😂

[paper trellis]

sure. You can actually talk about things that need improvement in the game here right?

[green belfry]

do ya like the armor cores this season? I like the colors but idk how to feel about the armor itself.

[rare cedar]

As long as the feedback is constructive

[fickle drift]

Make your feedback remind you of a lego set

[paper trellis]

i dont like armor cores period but if i had to pick the least unnattractive one it would be Halo Reach and Mirage

[rare cedar]

This is more geared towards #halo-discussion but I kinda like the Chimera but imo it’s not the best

[paper trellis]

annoying, fragile, painful, and cheap?

[rare cedar]

I love the Mirage core

[paper trellis]

the lore behind it is interesting

[fickle drift]

Definitely that's exactly what i meant 100%

[paper trellis]

but it would be nice if 343 did more than an infomercial on the lore

like a cutscene

also whats with the “previously on Halo Infinite” is this like an episode of Ninjago or something?

[smoky token]

Interesting that Ninjago is the first thing that comes to mind

[green belfry]

I hate how it keeps playing almost every time I open the game

[rare cedar]

Bionical or riot 😤

[rare cedar]

It’s a known bug

[paper trellis]

we were just talking about legos

[paper trellis]

just like desync issues, lighting issues, and server issues (just to name a few)

[smoky token]

Fair enough

[polar shoal]

im bored wat are you guys talking about

[green belfry]

Legos

[polar shoal]

LEGOS

that brings back so many memorys

[rare cedar]

Wow what a throwback pfp

[green belfry]

I have the Optimus prime that came out a couple months ago. I have yet to build it because I need more shelving space

[polar shoal]

lol

[green belfry]

Righttt. I used to have the panda pfp.

[polar shoal]

[green belfry]

Now I have the halo infinite Xbox series x.

[rare cedar]

Best dashboard

[green belfry]

Same. It’s wraps up in stuffing and in a storage unit for now

[polar shoal]

[rare cedar]

Yea that gif is hurting my eyes too

[polar shoal]

[green belfry]

I have it. But idk how to do that

[paper trellis]

ew

[polar shoal]

lol

pizza

[paper trellis]

what did you just say about the steamy decking

[opal lichen]

pause

[paper trellis]

i agree

[rare cedar]

PC function, not on mobile

[paper trellis]

Oh

[green belfry]

I just did it on mobile. Omg it’s so cute

[paper trellis]

btw im just gonna mod halo infinite so its fun

[polar shoal]

[polar shoal]

[paper trellis]

its easy bro

[polar shoal]

im chromebook

or xbox

hol up brb

[paper trellis]

pc

can i list every dissapointing cut feature from the campaign? I should

[fickle drift]

Gotta be honest, I don't hate infinites campaign at all

Looking back on it, it was quite fun

Cut content or not I did enjoy it

[rare cedar]

Nope

[polar shoal]

ima connect my xbox real quick brb

[paper trellis]

lemme know if i should finish

[rare cedar]

How about no

[paper trellis]

i didnt spoil anything

[opal lichen]

i dont think the flood were cut from the game

[paper trellis]

they were

[opal lichen]

i dont think they were ever planned

[rare cedar]

How about we move along from this discussion

[paper trellis]

and its fine to say cuz it aint leaked or future content

[rare cedar]

@paper trellis

[paper trellis]

fineee

[opal lichen]

the fact that i can play thru nearly the whole halo franchise on a linux pc, including multiplayer is crazy

[fickle drift]

Funny linux users

I have no idea what they're talking about but I admire their passion

[paper trellis]

odsts were gonna be in infinite

[opal lichen]

okay bro

content gets cut from games all the time

thats how game development works

especially during the pandemic

[paper trellis]

yeah well this is too much

They can still add some back

[opal lichen]

they wont

[paper trellis]

and keep the promise that their mega construx sets leaked

[fickle drift]

Bro were you not just told a second ago to stop

[opal lichen]

hes true btw

[paper trellis]

hey what about lockes helmet on hyperiuses shoulder anyone wanna talk about that?

[opal lichen]

no

i really dont care tbh

[paper trellis]

ok

[fickle drift]

Yeah same

This is all really insignificant and pointless

[opal lichen]

its okay if you dont like the game

thats why the mcc is on pc now

i forgot you could put an xbox on your back in thsi game

[paper trellis]

only if you dont want change

[opal lichen]

its not going to change bro

[paper trellis]

cant wait for campaign forge

[paper trellis]

only bcs people like you are too lazy to do anything about it. Bet some americans thought the same thing in the 1700s when they were under british rule “it wont change”

[opal lichen]

dude

its halo

[paper trellis]

yup.

and?

also i honestly would like the Bandit in campaign. Imagine banished headshots 🤤🥴

[opal lichen]

dude

its called halo reach

[paper trellis]

i know. But the bandit (even though id prefer the DMR) is still ASMR to my ears

[fickle drift]

This is a video game you're talking about. Get some perspective.

[opal lichen]

hes right you know

[languid wigeon]

the dmr is nothing compared with the glory that is the ce pistol

dmr has to be my least favorite bungie precision weapon

[paper trellis]

why are you here man.

[opal lichen]

because he likes halo

[paper trellis]

i kinda agree

[languid wigeon]

every halo game has worse combat than the one before

at least for the bungie ones

[paper trellis]

so dont tell me “its a video game get persoective” your a grown person on a discord server who likes a dying franchise trying to shame someone else because they care about the game. You get persoective

[languid wigeon]

d y i n g

[paper trellis]

halo 2 dual wield was the exception

[languid wigeon]

halo is going nowhere

[paper trellis]

exactly. Thanks to 343

[opal lichen]

halo infinite may have low player numbers but the mcc is still going strong lol

[languid wigeon]

as in it'll stick arond

[paper trellis]

MCC has same player count as infinite

[opal lichen]

plus steam stats dont say the whole story
that's not counting people who play on gamepass pc, or consoles, as those platforms are not open with player counts like steam is

[languid wigeon]

dual weilding kinda messed up the balance for a lot of guns

[paper trellis]

milk that cash cow, 343. Milk it until its dead, then milk it some more. Spartans never die because if they did, 343 would make less money

[opal lichen]

what is bro saying

[languid wigeon]

axing dual weilding is one of the very few good gameplay changes introduced in reach.

[opal lichen]

they are adding features to mcc that actively do not make them money

[paper trellis]

how old are you?? Like ho do u not get that

[languid wigeon]

ain't it a bit weird that all the good stuff in reach is just ce stuff

[polar shoal]

any body wanna join a new discord

[paper trellis]

thats because MCC is dying with the next gen of consoles

[polar shoal]

yes no

[paper trellis]

its laying bungies games to rest. 343 hired people who hated halo

[languid wigeon]

that's overblown
