general-chat

[dense elk]

I think it was probably only one key thing that i missed

[worthy crown]

Than I'm pretty sure you won't be able to track the whole storyline of halo infinite...Story is a mess

[dense elk]

yeah it was apparent that i missed something lmao

[lavish matrix]

halo story is pretty easy to follow compared to something like kingdom hearts or metal gear

so there's that

[worthy crown]

But if you want to have some fun being master chief and destroy some aliens in style, yeah buy it

[bronze breach]

What if I dont want to be master chief.

[dense elk]

im not sure what campaign could be better than reach tbh

[candid solar]

I mean, even the closest sci fi equivalent to that as a basic system (Battletech Clans) have a mercantile undercurrent for solving the more fluid costs or peaceful trades. IE I trade you my Spiker and 33 Atrioxbux for your Brute Shot.

[worthy crown]

Halo 5 to infinite's story transition was a huge mess

[dense elk]

also are there no more elites in the covenant after the events of 2?

[obsidian wyvern]

halo infinite didnt have much of a story lol

[worthy crown]

Oh you wanna know the story? Guess what? It's in a book!

[obsidian wyvern]

im exaggerating but still

[lavish matrix]

remember to disable pings when replying, pls. and yea, i think that was a consequence of them trying to overcompensate for the feedback to H5's story

[candid solar]

It's hard to engender a cooperative relationships even amongst rogues without some form of peaceful mercantile, and that seems to be loosely what Atriox wanted.

[bronze breach]

Would say campaign was basically an intro to a story lol

[echo pagoda]

And don't like human criminals work with the banished? Those cats sure as hell aren't working for free

[lavish matrix]

i'm not sure if what atriox wanted was peace so much as absolute freedom

[cedar turret]

CE: Lizards are bad, oh no mold is worse than lizards!
2: Lizards aren't that bad, primates are bad. Mold is really bad.
3: The primates are on earth and the mold is in space!
4: Somone kept an ancient evil in a can without a childproof cap again
5: Oh, no the good guy wants to confont his mean friend, we better catch thema nd lock them up/

[obsidian wyvern]

it was like chapter 1 to a much much larger story

[cedar turret]

inifinte; Everythings gone to hell and the primates are in control

[worthy crown]

Lmao exactly

[dense elk]

bc i thought there were elite fights in the later games

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont think we're gonna get any expansion on this story for at least 5 years

[candid solar]

I said peaceful mercantile, not a peaceful confederation of otherwise rogue elements.

[lavish matrix]

the issue with currency is that's it's not practically useful, it's only use if representative of "value". The banished don't put any value in nonpractical things

[candid solar]

They absolutely do though.

[dense elk]

"infinite is the start of the next 10 years of halo"

[lavish matrix]

like what

[candid solar]

There's nothing practical about trophies.

[cedar turret]

warthog flip; explosions are cool
spartan assault; Hey somebody will buy the windows phone

[lavish matrix]

trophies are about personal pride

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but that doesnt mean the next story wont come out before 10 years (since release)

[lavish matrix]

they'd lose meaning if traded

[bronze breach]

I dont see we going to get anything at all imo

[dense elk]

true

[lavish matrix]

show me a brute who wears a trophy earned/gained by another brute (and didn't kill them for it)

[obsidian wyvern]

BUT i wont be surprised if it takes that long

[worthy crown]

343 is barely holding on. Honestly idk how they're still alive

[bronze breach]

They have cut content. Eurogamer or whatever stated 2/3 of game was cut. They could repurpose that as a continuation of the story one day

[candid solar]

Was more using it as a practical thing. Though on second thought, currency's still required to pay for several auxiliaries that the Banished used extensively.

[regal chasm]

They are backed by Big M Microsoft. I don't think there's much mystery here.

[candid solar]

Most Jackals and Elites who work for the Banished are not doing it out of belief in the cause.

[obsidian wyvern]

they need a team for the campaign first..

[lavish matrix]

it makes sense if they are using it with outside entities who don't share their beliefs. but internally i don't see an sort of currency carrying meaning to them

[regal chasm]

Yeah Jackals are 100% doing it for the money.

Don't they have lines in Infinite implying that they get paid a bounty if they kill you?

[obsidian wyvern]

if i remember correctly, most, if not all, of the campaign team is gone

[candid solar]

They had lines for it in 5 as well.

[dense elk]

is halo one of those games with incredibly fleshed out and expansive lore down to completely unnecessary details

[worthy crown]

Campaign team is basically all fired, multiplay contents are mess, no crosscore, translation is a mess, sales aren't going any higher, users are abanding Xbox, only way is down

[bronze breach]

Give the banished didact voodoo powers.

[lavish matrix]

jackals may be a pirate race but again, i see them putting more stake in practical things. are jackals known for stealing things they only find aesthetically pleasing?

[obsidian wyvern]

sales aren't going any higher, users are abanding Xbox, only way is down
where did you even get this

[lavish matrix]

yea but "payment" doesn't necessarily have to be money or traditional currency

could be extra food, guns, materials, etc

[regal chasm]

You are telling me that Jackals are basically giant ugly space magpie?

[lavish matrix]

reminder to please keep feedback constructive and to not spread misinformation

[lavish matrix]

no, don't magpies steal shiny things because they like shiny things?

or maybe that's crows

[worthy crown]

Halo infinite players are decreasing, Xbox had a downfall after Redfall didn't made a huge success

[candid solar]

Jackals were paid in Gekz under the Covenant last I checked.

[lavish matrix]

that makes sense because the covenant was a more traditional society (theocratic, yes, but more traditional)

[candid solar]

It was in use post 2552.

[obsidian wyvern]

bro one game they had a lot on failed recently and now xbox has had a massive downfall???

[lavish matrix]

there was a certain beaurocratic aspect to the covenant that doesn't really exist in the banished

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont think anyone stuck to xbox just for redfall lol

[dense elk]

isnt redfall terrible

i saw some bad bad reviews

[obsidian wyvern]

it always looked boring to me, idk why it was so hyped

[regal chasm]

I assumed that everybody forgot about Redfall until it's launch lol.

[candid solar]

A Skirmisher named Chol Von accepted an 80k Gekz bounty in the Kilo 5 books.

[lavish matrix]

who paid them?

[worthy crown]

True, but gamepass and cloud gaming. That's what we have left and it's never enough to win the console wars

[lavish matrix]

let's not do console war stuff here, pls and thx

[worthy crown]

Sry

[candid solar]

Avu Med Telcam, but it posits that Mercenaries do get paid in Covenant Currency, which would stand to reason that the Banished would maintain a treasury of Gekz to pay its mercenaries-so to me it shows it may engage in opportunistic mercantile in order to pay for goods or services as needed.

Brutes also understand the concept of paying for a Brothel.

[lavish matrix]

i don't know, maybe, but even if the banished kept currency just for the sake of providing it to parties who do find value in it (like jackals and humans), that doesn't mean brutes would

at least not among themselves

[candid solar]

Except Brutes clearly understand the value of nonviolent acquisition.

And negotiation over simply stealing or fighting.

[lavish matrix]

yes, but i'm saying that i just don't see brutes (at least not banished brutes) developing an internal system of currency for the banished

especially not something that would be used in a situation like Zeta Halo where they are stranded and cut off from the rest of the galaxy

[candid solar]

Neither do I, so I'm just assuming they kept using Geks.

Because it was an existing system that happened to work.

[lavish matrix]

all the gekz in the universe wouldn't get them off the ring

i think, if that were the case, it would have been abandoned on Zeta Halo where survival became the primary goal

even jackals would probably forego being paid in gekz in favor or something practical when they're all stranded

[candid solar]

The Ring's a slightly different situation. Jackals and Elites came along because they were paid and the Banished didn't actually expect to get stuck there. Saying they don't benefit from Gekz now is just stating the obvious as a point that doesn't matter to the Banished as an actual faction in universe because it's an unexpected development, not an operational norm.

[lavish matrix]

i know some elites joined the banished as mercs but not all of them

[regal chasm]

Banished using money just make more sense in my opinion. There are so many limitation to a Trade/barter society to work especially in a space faring society.

I do agree that on Zeta Halo, things like food and ammo would probably play a bigger role in the economy. Trade/bartering work well in a limited and smaller scale setting.

[candid solar]

It'd also be implying literal pirates are somehow less engaging in the prospect of currency than a literal cult.

[lavish matrix]

i think it makes sense in the context of banished dealing with outside entities, but not necessarily internally

[lavish matrix]

the banished engage in piracy, yes, but i don't think they have the same values as a traditionally defined human pirate

you don't see banished really looking to live lavishly, aside from maybe tremonius who had what appeard to be some gold plating on his armor

the banished are still at their heart a warrior faction, they enjoy fighting and conquering for the sake of it, which i think is going to influence the other aspects of their society differently from traditional pirates

[regal chasm]

Now that I am thinking about it, I could see them just straight up using gold and other precious metal as a form of currency. It's far simpler then using credits or paper with no inherent value.

As you said, Tremonius seem to have some gold plating on his armour which imply they do consider gold as valuable or at least luxurious.

[lavish matrix]

tremonious seems more like an exception rather than the norm

[livid nova]

Took 2 minutes to find a ranked arena match

[candid solar]

Internal affairs actually could still use Gekz come to think of it, as part of its barter system.

[lavish matrix]

the audio logs about him suggested he didn't approach things like a typical brute, he was particularly selfish and interested in increasing his own status

[candid solar]

A Clan with more money, for example, could afford more mercenary reinforcements.

Or to purchase more weapons from Sangheili or other ex-Covenant manufacturers.

[lavish matrix]

maybe, but again, that still would just be for dealing with outside entities

[candid solar]

Which is generally how currency tends to work.

[lavish matrix]

I don't see Voridus and Pavium exchanging gekz amongst themselves for things

[candid solar]

Depends on what the rationale is. Pavium and Voridus are brothers so it's kind of a moot point.

[regal chasm]

Which would mean that gold plating can be used as a mean to show one's status.

Thus, implying that gold has some value in their eyes.

Honestly, i think the real answer is that there's none cause 343 obviously know that people are here to shoot aliens and not barter with them or talk about hypothetical alien economy.

[candid solar]

Unless you regularly pay your sibling for literally anything.

[lavish matrix]

i think that would extend to their clan in general

whatever they were called. longshields or soemthing

[candid solar]

I don't, because the entire Clan isn't made up of siblings.

[lavish matrix]

no but it is made up of like-minded individuals who all seem to put honor and glory above all else

[candid solar]

Winning.

... Which likely means that currency really only generally matters to either a Clan that happens to care about that sort of thing, and to the Clan in general rather than individuals.

[normal owl]

Glad to be back! It was extraordinary, memorable, delicious.

Thank you! Now for the hours of photo editing lol

[forest lagoon]

You and your puns were dearly missed!

[candid solar]

Though I could see individual brutes having a stipend for personal effects such as trinkets or materials.

[calm osprey]

People that play doubles without mics ur a joke of partners

[candid solar]

People that play doubles outside of a preformed two man are silly goobers.

[near tree]

You're going to have to show us some

[candid solar]

What sort of weirdo solo queues doubles?

[lavish matrix]

people that play doubles. period.

[forest lagoon]

At least they provide you with a laugh

[normal owl]

I missed you guys! There were times when I was excited to be able to hop on and chat for a bit but trip stuff always seemed to pop up.

[near tree]

Nothing wrong with enjoying your vacation

[livid nova]

Just played one of my best matches in ranked

Slayer on Aquarius, got 27 kills 8 deaths

[desert axle]

[fickle drift]

It sucks cuz I was Hella hyped for infinite and it came out and slowly deteriorated

[queen remnant]

It's that time of the day

[worthy crown]

Idk how it can get any worse at this point

[fickle drift]

Maybe halo fans just got to be in the glory days for too long and the time has come where we fall

[worthy crown]

I mean after 343 came in, thing got worse pretty fast

[obsidian wyvern]

im sitting here, cringing

[fickle drift]

True

[molten orchid]

How many times has this conversation gone down now?

[worthy crown]

Come on. Halo 5 was a mess

[obsidian wyvern]

WOAH LOOK

[worthy crown]

Average discord user be like

[fickle drift]

Idc how many people try to defend halo 4 besides the mission with the mammoth in the desert it was bad

[worthy crown]

Lmao so true

[dreamy stirrup]

do u think he's sorry

[worthy crown]

Story, whole plot, didact, even new designs sucked

[obsidian wyvern]

not at all

[worthy crown]

Aww he looks sorry to me

[molten orchid]

He sure seems not sorry

[fickle drift]

Like we went from this badass military fighting off hordes of aliens to a love story between an ai and a soldier and we barely get to see any of the military part of halo anymore bc 343 sucks

[dreamy stirrup]

He just got that ball yesterday

[obsidian wyvern]

THERE WAS NO LOVE STORY

[dreamy stirrup]

He destroyed it within 10 minutes

[molten orchid]

The ball was dangerous he had to do something

[dreamy stirrup]

Dynf don't feed them

[worthy crown]

Halo 5 was just power ranger man lmao

[fickle drift]

It's basically a love story without it being a love story

[candid solar]

Just another day for the Halo community.

[dreamy stirrup]

Please look at my frenchies

[sour gate]

eyes so red

[candid solar]

An annoying, annoying day.

[dreamy stirrup]

They cute

[worthy crown]

After halo 4, no military at all, and infinite campaign felt like some hero action movie

[obsidian wyvern]

the way the eyes flicked colours

[molten orchid]

They got Sharingan

[dreamy stirrup]

Apparently the red eye thing is a thing with lilac dogs

Idk

First one I've had

[molten orchid]

Cool tho

[dreamy stirrup]

Technically the brown one in the back is mine but whatever lol

[candid solar]

Imagine disliking hero action movies

[dreamy stirrup]

Wait it's me

[queen remnant]

Dog time

[molten orchid]

Lmao

[queen remnant]

That's a cute dog

[candid solar]

Despite it literally being like, every Halo game that's ever existed lmao

[dreamy stirrup]

I dislike them but in fairness I dislike all movies

[fickle drift]

Dude real

[dreamy stirrup]

Like come on. They're so cute

[obsidian wyvern]

HUHHHHH

gotta brainwash sam

[sour gate]

that's so adorable

[molten orchid]

Can we get them in Infinite?

[dreamy stirrup]

I watch like one movie a year

[obsidian wyvern]

they made the sounds in infinite

[dreamy stirrup]

Already saw Mario. I'm tapped out

@dreamy stirrup Heya is Korea 343 team hiring any translation team?

[candid solar]

You aren't funny, so.

Good luck with that one.

[amber mirage]

"343 sucks" Proceeds to ask them for a job

[dreamy stirrup]

They brought Gyoza in for some recordings yes

[molten orchid]

these salty ahh people today 💀

[molten orchid]

Yo that is hype

[queen remnant]

LOL

[candid solar]

Yeah I ain't part of your pity party man

[sour gate]

wait really!? THAT"S SO COOL

[dreamy stirrup]

Yes!

[obsidian wyvern]

WAIT IT WAS THAT DOG?

[worthy crown]

I'm trying to fix that messed up translation by my self ya know

[dreamy stirrup]

There's articles about her

[obsidian wyvern]

i was joking, i knew a dog was used but didnt know it was yours

[candid solar]

I think 343 does fine enough work for the job they have and most just complain incessantly. It gets tiring.

[dreamy stirrup]

No

[molten orchid]

Gyoza is my favourite VA

[dreamy stirrup]

I don't own pugs

I have 2 frenchies and a Boston

[worthy crown]

343 actually translated Site unseen to site that can't be seen in Korean

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

i misread that

[dreamy stirrup]

Feel free to submit a feedback ticket to the Support crew so they can pass it to the loc team

I'm v excited

I'm going to the fancy bakery today

Gonna get a fancy pants coffee and snacks

[molten orchid]

Get us some cakes please?

[sour gate]

that's unfortunate but always likely to happen with translations

[candid solar]

Why would you get coffee in a pair of pants?

[dreamy stirrup]

😂😂

[worthy crown]

When we want to buy halo infinite credits for cosmetics? It's translated to 343 crew credit
Space key on keyboard is translated into literal Space

[dreamy stirrup]

I think I've seen them make a crème brûlée latte...?

[obsidian wyvern]

you need to go get profiteroles

[worthy crown]

I really want to change those for fellow Koreans

[dreamy stirrup]

Again, report this stuff via tickets.

[worthy crown]

Got it thx

[dreamy stirrup]

Complaining in general chat is just shouting into the void and does nothing

[molten orchid]

People love doing that

[obsidian wyvern]

now i want

[candid solar]

I'd compile a list and send it alongside proper translations to the support site. It'd be easier than asking for a job. The support site does support message attachments so you don't need to necessarily type it in one big message to them.

I need to do that with some of the typos one of these days.

[sour gate]

do not need to relapse on my diet

but those look so gooddd

[dreamy stirrup]

They have stuffed croissants too?? Like round ones omg

[worthy crown]

Oh man, thanks. That helps a lot

[obsidian wyvern]

cheat day

[candid solar]

Aren't these just those weird cream puffs in every Chinese buffet restaurant ever?

[obsidian wyvern]

what the hell

[sour gate]

oh

[obsidian wyvern]

never been to a chinese buffet so idk

[molten orchid]

That’s certainly something

[candid solar]

They're pretty mid. I'm more of a fan of Indian buffets.

All I can eat Tikka Masala makes for a bird too fat to fly.

[obsidian wyvern]

as someone whos indian, i could not imagine going to a buffet for that

[dreamy stirrup]

Look at itttttt.

[obsidian wyvern]

woah

[sour gate]

personally like Japanese hibachi places more than buffets but that is due to me being partially japanese

[obsidian wyvern]

my one problem is that it looks too chocolate-y

[dreamy stirrup]

Yeah I don't like chocolate but they have pistachio

Which I love

[pulsar cobalt]

That looks real good

[candid solar]

I'm pretty good at finding actually tolerable places. Normally I wouldn't do that.

[pulsar cobalt]

Making me hungry out here

[candid solar]

I usually make it at home now because everywhere near me doesn't sell anything I'm confident in.

It shouldn’t be there

howd you manage that

halo players dont go out and get hurt

[sour gate]

[obsidian wyvern]

looked like it

[dreamy stirrup]

I ran too much too far without breaks and gave myself tarsal tendonitis in both feet

[candid solar]

That looks... Heart attack inducing.

[obsidian wyvern]

even then, scrambled eggs.. in there??

[sour gate]

Highly unlikely. They're one of the biggest tech companies on the planet

[muted rose]

Bankruptcy? No. Not Microsoft.

[obsidian wyvern]

bankruptcy??????

[smoky token]

microsoft is worth over a trillion dollars, even if redfall costed a billion to make and made absolutely 0 dollars, it would barely be a drop in the bucket for microsoft

[muted rose]

Redfall may have been a massive failure, but it won’t destroy Microsoft. Maybe dent them, if anything, but certainly not destroy them

[fickle drift]

But Redfall is the biggest upset of the year. The world is on fire over it. Could this be the end of Xbox

[regal chasm]

Microsoft is so powerful that their gaming division is probably not even necesarry for their financial success.

[dreamy stirrup]

Where on earth are you getting your news my guy lol

[smoky token]

the world you say?

[muted rose]

I think your overreacting to the failure of redfall

[smoky token]

Which one? Mars?

[muted rose]

To say the least

[fickle drift]

Now when Starfield comes out and fails we can talk 👀

[smoky token]

Doubt starfield is gonna "fail"

[muted rose]

Speaking of failed games, is it true Star citizen is a Ponzi scheme

[smoky token]

honestly, probably

[queen remnant]

Do people forget about Xbox one launch or

[regal chasm]

Gamers will buy anything. Sorry for ruining you day but the video game crash is not gonna happen. Ever.

[fickle drift]

Honestly I try to every day

[muted rose]

I’ve heard people say that it’s confirmed to be a Ponzi scheme, but I haven’t seen any concrete proof

Just possibilities and speculation

[fickle drift]

People still defend The Day Before soooo

[muted rose]

Battlefront 2

One of the Worst launches of all time

BUT it came back (sorta)

[regal chasm]

People are still praising Cyberpunk because it's "fixed".

Game had much more problems than being broken folks.

[meager rover]

R u ok no it’s not gonna be the end and if we’re using that logic then why isn’t PlayStation gone yet

[muted rose]

I want a non broken game at launch, that is not a hard request

[fickle drift]

I have a hard time believing Cyberpunk is fixed tbh
The game you could turn around and make the police chasing you disappear

[dreamy stirrup]

Bro dropped that nonsense then dipped? Incredible

[faint mantle]

There is so much basic world knowledge missing from this sentence.

[meager rover]

Incredible indeed

[crude marsh]

That sounds more like an ability to me

[dreamy stirrup]

Anyway

[regal chasm]

Halo am I right?

[muted rose]

Hacks

[dreamy stirrup]

Crème brûlée donut for dessert

Oreo cruffle

[smoky token]

jealous

[crude marsh]

Omggg that looks so good!

[muted rose]

Your trying to make me hungry

And it’s working

[obsidian wyvern]

why the Oreo Sam 😩

[dreamy stirrup]

Cuz I wanted it

[crude marsh]

Cause Oreos are amazing

[fickle drift]

Should be a fried oreo.... because America

[dreamy stirrup]

And they were out of the Apple koign amman I really wanted

[obsidian wyvern]

ah rip

[meager rover]

Especially the double stuffed ones

And apparently the golden ones

[crude marsh]

Frfr now I want some Oreos

[frail walrus]

I need this

[muted rose]

I think even Americans would reject that

[regal chasm]

Just sell a jar with the creme so I can put it on my toast. Oreos are overrated otherwise.

[dreamy stirrup]

If you're ever out near dulles, it's close to that

[fickle drift]

Fried oreos are amazing sir 👀

[meager rover]

White Nutella

[dreamy stirrup]

Bro what? Deep fried oreos are fair staples and are delicious

[muted rose]

Mb I’ve never had one

[dreamy stirrup]

Texas will fry coke for crying out loud lol

[regal chasm]

Yo i love the off brand nutella that's white and brown. Nugatti I think?

[muted rose]

Frying stuff that isn’t meant to be fried out of the gate is kinda gross to me

[meager rover]

Off brand smoff brand who cares as long as my belly is happy I’m happy

[crude marsh]

I went to a fair once & I think for like 10 dollars they allowed you to fry any food you want lol

[regal chasm]

I admit, I am really curious about fried pickles.

[dreamy stirrup]

Fried pickles are great

[muted rose]

That, that I will try

[fickle drift]

Go to any fair this coming fall and they will find new things to fry 🤣

[crude marsh]

Fried pickles are good but fried zucchini’s are 😙👌🏼

[muted rose]

Eggplants too!

Fried eggplants with tomato sauce

[dreamy stirrup]

Eggplants aren't too great fried actually because they absorb a crap ton of oil

[crude marsh]

Welp now I’m really hungry

[dreamy stirrup]

Not great

[muted rose]

Oh wait no not fried 🤦

I’m not doing great today

[fickle drift]

Go eat some fried cereal

[regal chasm]

Someone once referred to me making grilled cheese as frying because I use mayo instead of butter. Now fried grilled cheese just sound divine.

[muted rose]

It’s grilled eggplant, not fried

[dreamy stirrup]

Mayo on grilled cheese is top tier

[crude marsh]

Now that doesn’t sound good :p

[muted rose]

Ok hear me out, Jalapeños, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese.

[obsidian wyvern]

one to shoot
one to consume

[muted rose]

Make it into a grilled cheese

Use some pepper jam

[crude marsh]

AKSLDHD NOOOOO

[bold stone]

Halo is a game

[fickle drift]

Knowing Halo 2 that could be an actual mod

[candid solar]

Cronchy Ehs Em Gee

[bronze breach]

Am I mean to kick a constant betrayer when timer was at 5 seconds on ctf btb and we winning by 1 capture.

Hate betrayers so I thought he deserved the boot

[faint mantle]

Lol no

Get rid of em

If you got betrayed on purpose they desserved it

[bronze breach]

Yeah there was a guy going around splattering teammates by accident but he wasnt learning his lesson in driving carefully

[fickle drift]

Worse than betrayers are the people who just drop your shields right before a fight

[livid nova]

I was playing ranked and all but 1 person on the enemy team quit

It was just sad

[safe dawn]

this has happened to me before, both all but one on the enemy team, and all my team but me

[nocturne vine]

I've had that happen and sometimes my team feels bad and lets them win

[fickle drift]

I mean Redfall is the most monumental fail in the history of gaming this could be the start of MS backing out of consoles

[queen remnant]

Lmao

That's a good one

[dreamy stirrup]

Enough with the tin foil hat please

[halcyon vale]

i had a game in reach once where i wouldve had 0 deaths but at some point i killed someone w the rocket launcher, and my teammate mustve felt that i stole their kill cause they followed me around for the rest of the match breaking my shield and caused my only death that game

[halcyon vale]

its moments like that that make me glad infinite's social doesnt have friendly fire

[safe dawn]

what if, he IS the youtuber

[subtle jolt]

i wonder would it be possible to get a digital halo 3 360 copy by contacting 343 or something

[dreamy stirrup]

No

[subtle jolt]

damn

[safe dawn]

nice try

[subtle jolt]

i really enjoyed the 360 version and miss playing on 360

[lavish matrix]

fried ice cream

[subtle jolt]

i’m not really trying anything i was just kinda curious about it

[dreamy stirrup]

The best

[subtle jolt]

clarification i do own MCC on xbox one and parts of it on pc i just like the xbox 360 version’s menus n stuff and being able to play with a 360 controller

anyway thats all

[livid nova]

I prefer microwaved ice cream myself

[clear sequoia]

That's good to know

[fickle drift]

I mean Sony has never failed this hard as with MS did with Redfall.

[dreamy stirrup]

Stop.

That's not a suggestion

[livid nova]

I don't know anything about Redfall. What is it?

[lavish matrix]

a game

[livid nova]

I assume a really bad one?

[lavish matrix]

google is your friend

[bronze breach]

As I said before, if activison takeover doesnt go through, MS should use the money they were willing to spend and invest in their existing studios and IPs

[meager rover]

Ight just stop this over exaggeration

[meager rover]

Not you btw

[bronze breach]

I was going to say xD, I was like. What did I do xD

[dreamy stirrup]

Well he self yeeted

[bronze breach]

Lmao. He knew the end was coming. XD

[lavish matrix]

no

they just didn't care

[dreamy stirrup]

That was an insane escalation

[lavish matrix]

impulse control issues

[bronze breach]

Probably just wanted reaction/attention so he left when he didnt get any

[lavish matrix]

or just spent too much time on twitter

[dreamy stirrup]

Correct

[queen remnant]

Yup

[lavish matrix]

anyways

[faint mantle]

Is it... loading?

[lavish matrix]

i love using the glowy visors with the chimera core attachments cause they glow too

[bronze breach]

Anyway how y'all doing on this fine weekend

[lavish matrix]

trying to hold out from eating until dinnertime

[faint mantle]

I wish it lasted longer

[hasty zinc]

wife made homemade nachos 😋

[lavish matrix]

[obsidian wyvern]

[lavish matrix]

[bronze breach]

I was actually considering buying bank shares. They are like £45 right now

[hasty zinc]

[fair fog]

Okay will do! Thanks

[thorny glen]

Disruptor is useless as it is right now, the new balance changes next week will actually make it useful.

Yea I do play Halo 5 & want more of Halo 5 in Infinite, what's the problem?

[bronze breach]

I think most prefer the slower pace tbh

[thorny glen]

No, people still play H5 MP and I get games in it still to this day. Wouldn't be that difficult for me to get to 152 in H5 with it's current playerbase either tbh (I'm already 150_

[round laurel]

I was talking about the plasma pistol.

[high forge]

Try playing at lunch time on a week day in a European time zone

[vapid siren]

Infinite is honestly still super fast paced

[bronze breach]

If dot is going, that's that mean the campaign variant for super fiesta wont be OP anymore?

[vapid siren]

The variant has a secondary explosion that does all the damage

It isnt really dot but a huge burst of dmg

[bronze breach]

Does it? Thought it was the dot that gives the kill lol hadn't noticed

[vapid siren]

Nope

Its a delayed trigger explosion

[lavish matrix]

sounds like a needler

[bronze breach]

Ahh make sense then

[vapid siren]

Yeah think of it as a mini grenade launcher in a sense

[thorny glen]

1. Movement speed is almost never taken into account when designing/creating maps. You can create incredibly small maps in H5 today right now with it's movement speed.

2. BO3 & Titanfall 2 are 2 entirely different games with 2 entirely different focuses of combat. Titanfall focuses on fighting between giant player controlled Mechs so the maps have to be large, BO3 doesn't do this so the maps are very small. None of this is related to movement at all.

3. You've played Infinite since launch and haven't noticed the drastic balance changes they've already done since the game came out? They happen almost every single season, I get S1 to S2 was 6 months but they still changed a lot. Same with S2 to S3, which was 10 months. Now S3 to S4 we're getting more changes.

H5 doesn't have loadouts in it's Arena combat, only HR and H4 do. H5 has loadouts in Warzone though which is needed cause the maps are built around that.

[high forge]

Yes we established this a moment after... why are you going back over old messages?

[lavish matrix]

lol, seriously

man's living 24 hrs in the past

[queen remnant]

Nighterlev moment

[bronze breach]

At least he didnr go back to a message from 2020.

[high forge]

This usually means they think their opinion is really important...

[lavish matrix]

don't tempt him

[thorny glen]

If you try to play really any Halo title for that matter without living in the USA you're just gonna have a bad time lol

[thorny glen]

I'm replying to messages related to what I was talking about yesterday that I didn't reply to today, problem?

[thorny glen]

No, I reply to messages whenever. Anytime of the day, anywhere.

[high forge]

Halo infinite, no problem with quick games and some other game modes all day round.

[fair fog]

Just released my new forge map in the ‘show and tell’ area!

[thorny glen]

what if I replied to myself from 2018

[bronze breach]

👀

[thorny glen]

2018 was 5 years ago huh

[bronze breach]

I dont think I was here then lol

I joined in 19

[thorny glen]

I was 😎

switched accounts tho (my other acc was here like a week after this server got made i think)
this one has only been here since Dec. 2018 tho

[vapid siren]

I will reply to your first ever message

[obsidian wyvern]

not really true

[obsidian wyvern]

nighterlev moment

[thorny glen]

depends really
I know tons of australian users who always have 200ms+ ping if they try to play Infinite, couple Asian users as well. EU numbers are pretty low also

basically same with MCC & H5 to

[snow spire]

Do y'all think I should try to beat Halo 2 on legendary (not SLASO, not yet anyways)

I have only beaten Halo infinite on legenday, all other games on heroic

[livid nova]

To answer that I have a question for you

Do you hate yourself?

[thorny glen]

100% yea it's doable
if it's your 1st time doing it, it'll require tons of patience & concentration. LASO or SLASO is nearly impossible regarding Halo 2.

[snow spire]

Ik, gonna try to beat all the games on legendary before I even attempt any LASO/SLASO

[lavish matrix]

halo 2 legendary is frustrating but not impossible

[livid nova]

It's doable but very dificult, especially solo

[snow spire]

Ok, Ima try it

[lavish matrix]

actually, in some ways H2 legendary is harder on co op because if one person dies it resets your checkpoint

[thorny glen]

If your gonna do another Halo game on legendary after Infinite just do Halo 3 & ODST, those are just as easy if not easier then Infinite is. Reach is pretty easy to.

[lavish matrix]

so your partner could set you back

[livid nova]

So Halo 2 legendary always has the Iron skull on right?

[lavish matrix]

yes

[livid nova]

Does the solo iron effect happen?

[snow spire]

On MCC?

Really?

[thorny glen]

I'd say it's actually easier cause you have 2 people shooting enemies over 1. Sure your partner could die & reset the checkpoint but it's better then just 1 person doing it solo and still getting checkpoints reset.

[livid nova]

The hard thing is that you have to worry about both yourself and your teammate

[snow spire]

Ok, Ima attempt to solo regular legendary, but maybe later, try to co-op it

[thorny glen]

No, Halo 2 legendary solo doesn't have the Iron skull enabled.
Iron skull has you forcefully restart the entire mission if you die, or in co-op it just resets the checkpoint if 1 person dies. That's how it's been in every Halo game (Infinite doesn't have it).

[livid nova]

Because if either of you die it resets

Infinite sorta makes sense for not having it because it's open world

[lavish matrix]

sometimes the extra gun isn't worth the extra target

[thorny glen]

personally I find H2 Legendary easier if you have a 2nd person

[lavish matrix]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[snow spire]

I am also doing Halo 2 instead of 3/odst/reach because of the graphics, I personally like the anniversary graphics

[livid nova]

If the Iron skull applied to singleplayer on Halo 2, absolutely go co-op

[thorny glen]

If they know how to play Halo 2 at least it's easier, if they don't then it's definitely more difficult

[livid nova]

Since resetting to the checkpoint would be much better than going back to the start of the mission

[lavish matrix]

infinite iron skull idea; when you die, you lose FOB valor

[smoky token]

sort of

If one person dies in co-op, it sets both of you back to the last checkpoint

[livid nova]

But there is a limited amount of valor you can get, so you could be locked out of getting the later FOB stuff if you die enough

[smoky token]

But if you are on legendary solo, nothing happens

[lavish matrix]

exactly

[thorny glen]

legendary solo if you die you still get set back to the most recent checkpoint

[lavish matrix]

permanent consequences!

[thorny glen]

all of this was explained already tho

[smoky token]

unless it’s a multi-ending single player RPG, permanency in video games is almost always just bad game design

[livid nova]

Like the Fallout games?

[smoky token]

Or something along those lines, yes

I did have fallout in mind when I said that

[thorny glen]

how about this
iron skull in infinite - if you die in the open world, you gotta redo the entire open world segment all over again

[livid nova]

Which fallout is best in your opinion?

[lavish matrix]

lose your save file

now there's a good idea

[smoky token]

This is going to be controversial, but 4

[livid nova]

I respect that

[thorny glen]

I don't see how that's controversial tbh

[livid nova]

I go with New Vegas personally

[lavish matrix]

liberty prime!

[smoky token]

1, 2, 3, NV are just… not really playable, I couldn’t ever force myself to play them for long enough to critique the storytelling

They look ugly as hell and the combat system is super unsatisfying

[amber mirage]

Ghost Recon Wildlands had a mode like this. I think I lost a save 40 hours in.

[livid nova]

If New vegas got a remaster it would be incredible

[smoky token]

Ultra Nightmare mode in Doom Eternal

[lavish matrix]

which was the one with jon berthal?

n

[smoky token]

There’s a team working on it!

[amber mirage]

The one before that

[livid nova]

Minecraft hardcore mode

[smoky token]

It’s actually pretty close to being done too

They have most of the open world and weapons done

[thorny glen]

never bothered to try and play 1 & 2, F3's story is kinda mid, New Vegases story is overhyped (i've never understood why people like it so much)

F4's story is great except for the part that involves you treating Synths as "real people", just blow it all up. No Skynet in my town

[livid nova]

Is it an official remaster?

[smoky token]

No

Modded on the FO4 engine

[livid nova]

Sounds cool

[thorny glen]

oh and the railroad people are annoying, so is that Settlement dude

beyond that I like fallout 4 the most

[smoky token]

https://youtu.be/hBKIsQE1QG4

[thorny glen]

Fallout 76 is okay also, it's basically fallout 4 online but with a non-existent story

[livid nova]

Fallout 4 I almost always go Brotherhood

[smoky token]

I’ve played dozens of games of FO4 and never once sided with the railroad

[smoky token]

Gameplay wise I like it as a slightly more refined - albeit laggier - fallout 4, but the lack of story drives me away big time

At least they added some side quest-esque stuff with NPCs

finally

The lack of any kind of permanency in any aspect is also kinda cringe but expected

[livid nova]

I like New Vegas mainly for the story

For the gameplay I go with 4

[obsidian wyvern]

eu numbers arent even that low

i can find games within seconds for the most part

[livid nova]

It took awhile to find ranked matches earlier

[obsidian wyvern]

ranked was the one mode i was thinking of that didnt fall under this

[livid nova]

What do y'all consider to be a long wait time

[obsidian wyvern]

2 minutes +

[fossil skiff]

^

[livid nova]

I was waiting for like 5-6 minutes for a ranked match

[forest lagoon]

Longer than 30sec

[livid nova]

Then all but 1 of the enemy team quit out

[obsidian wyvern]

na moment

[amber mirage]

If I blink and I'm not in a match, the game is dead

[obsidian wyvern]

I am sooo close to finishing half lifen

but it feels like I'm just going in circles

[livid nova]

Is Breakout broken or no one plays it?

[cedar turret]

Breakout has 5 devoted players. There were six, but one didn't like the changes to the flag mechanics

[clear sequoia]

Hello

[clear sequoia]

They're making one

[obsidian wyvern]

uh

[regal chasm]

Seems like you are having fun Dynf. You even got me playing the game again (MMod to be more precise).

[obsidian wyvern]

i literally might not be able to go further than this

all the circles are making me sick

[regal chasm]

Oh yeah his teleport attack are almost impossible to dodge. Hide behind a a pillar when that happen.

[obsidian wyvern]

if i get past this

[obsidian wyvern]

😔

[obsidian wyvern]

is it advised to teleport, spinning said to avoid

[obsidian wyvern]

^

[cedar turret]

I don't think you have a choice. Some stuff on the walls you can blow up too.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah blew them up

[cedar turret]

so you're good then

not good 😐

I use the emblem to show my support i want it in the game

[obsidian wyvern]

i think ive done it

[smoky token]

GG, you killed an innocent space baby trying to run and hide from a ruthless multidimensional empire

And doomed all of humanity in the process

[obsidian wyvern]

awesome

better yet, i agreed to help the spooky man

now all i have is a black screen and footsteps

[hearty flame]

If it didn't have a stupid name I'd have played it too

[obsidian wyvern]

oh.. thats it lol

[south sundial]

Hello

How is everyone doing

[dense elk]

is roosterteeth doing any rvb after zero

that was awful btw

i watched it when it was back on netflix

it was what first introduced me to halo

[near tree]

What game is this?

[obsidian wyvern]

half life

supposed to take 12 hours, i am so slow lol

[south sundial]

Nice you playing the first half life

Game

[obsidian wyvern]

onto 2... once i make space to download it

[south sundial]

Cool

Just curious how many half life games are theres

[sour gate]

I've never played any HL game lol

[south sundial]

Same here foxtrot

[obsidian wyvern]

3, but there seems to be a lot of DLCs

[sour gate]

I think there's two with a few others that show a different perspective of the same story

oh

what's the third?

[obsidian wyvern]

half life alyx is its own game iirc

the vr one

[south sundial]

Cool

[sour gate]

oh yeahh forgot about that one

[south sundial]

There a vr half life game as well

[obsidian wyvern]

YOURE KIDDING

i bought the wrong one damn it

and too late for a refund 😩

[south sundial]

That suck dynf that you can't get a refund

[regal chasm]

Still worth a try. These requirement apply for automatic no question asked refund. You can still get a refund if you are lucky.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah i might do

i cant believe it took me this long to notice as well

i looked at the download size and thought something was wrong

[faint mantle]

Steam refunds tend to be lenient, you'll probably just give the agent a laugh and they'll approve your request

[obsidian wyvern]

thats good to hear

[regal chasm]

Worst case scenario you buy portal when it's back on sale for like 2 jeans lint and a candy wrappers.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah it was really cheap anyway, but still lol

[cedar turret]

[misty ore]

Nice. I'll check it out. Always down for HL mods.

[regal chasm]

Also there's an RTX mod for Half Life? Wild. Man I should have gotten an RTX card.

[sturdy hedge]

Still nothing on crosscores? did they sweep it under a rug?

[errant crown]

I got a question about Submission Form:
do I have to put all my clips into one video or just sent my clips one by one?

[obsidian wyvern]

cant be a compilations

[errant crown]

oh just one clip only?

[lavish matrix]

submission form for what?

[forest lagoon]

I think this answers your question

[errant crown]

thanks guys

[obsidian wyvern]

there's a season 3 clip competition by 343

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern submit your triple quigley

[obsidian wyvern]

everything has music

[elfin glacier]

Didn't ask

[obsidian wyvern]

🫡

[hasty zinc]

mute the video and record every match sound possible and insert the exact needed sounds to recreate the audio from the original clip

[elfin glacier]

Aegis on that grind

Aegis probably has a pro team of audio editors on call for this specific pyrpose

“I have walked among men and angels for 3,000 years.
Time has no end, no beginning, no purpose.
I wandered the earth seeking forgiveness for my horrible crimes against God and man.
I live to see death and destruction.
Evil over the light, but the light cannot be extinguished.
I live in a prison of my own demise. I am lost in time.”

[hollow idol]

hello

[steady panther]

Does anyone here have jackbox party pack 5

[cedar turret]

I have a cat, half a bottle of dr. pepper, and a mild headache. Does that count?

[forest lagoon]

Sounds about right

[dreamy stirrup]

are we sharing the dr pepper?

[cedar turret]

Too late

[dreamy stirrup]

dang

i want a dr pepper now

i haven't had soda in a bit.

[crimson anchor]

Can someone help me

[dreamy stirrup]

idk

[crimson anchor]

Ok

[dreamy stirrup]

gotta actually say what the issue is.

if it's tech support, might hit up #1075989764026675210 🙂

[warm rivet]

I miss the early 2000’s. Playing Reach at my friends house inside of our makeshift treehouse with Cheetos and snuck in 2 liter Dr Pepper. Old monitor/ tv with the awesome graphics (nowadays poor) split screen and dying to new glitches because the game is so new.

[cedar turret]

Reach didn’t come out until 2010

Ce didn’t come out till 2001

[dreamy stirrup]

my dad used to make me 1v1 on hang 'em high in CE

i hated it

[rare cedar]

teach 'em young

[dreamy stirrup]

😂

that's funny cuz you know how old i am

[rare cedar]

[pulsar cobalt]

i'm having a blast in hell let loose

[candid solar]

Darktide somehow has recaptured my love.

No idea why though, it's still a pretty mid game outside of a soundtrack and gameplay that is riveting.

Oh wait, that's what people used to love games for, and why I love Infinite. Weird, that.

[dreamy stirrup]

excuse me sir

that sounds suspiciously like "fun"

and we don't stand for that here

i have been explicitly told that this is a strict "No fun allowed" zone

[candid solar]

Sorry, I forget typical 343 policy until Uny gets involved.

[dreamy stirrup]

i've been playing Hades again.

is also fun 🙂

[candid solar]

Honestly, I only wish that there was a Mechwarrior game that caught the cathartic thrill of superior gameplay over players in Infinite and slaughtering Nurgle cultists in Darktide to Imperial Advance.

[smoky token]

My dad scared me so bad when he and I first played 343 Guilty Spark that I didn’t play Halo again at all until Halo 4 came out

[dreamy stirrup]

😭

[candid solar]

Then the trifecta of 'Games Trenchbird can play ad nauseam and not care' would be complete.

[dreamy stirrup]

Halo 2's campaign put me off campaigns for a VERY long time

i made @pure spindle carry me through them somewhere before halo 4

didn't play 3, ODST, or Reach

lol

[near tree]

Story or difficulty?

[dreamy stirrup]

story

[near tree]

Heavy? Scary? Just not your type of story?

[dreamy stirrup]

the end.

[smoky token]

I liked Halo 2’s story

I think it was better than 3’s

and CE

But 4 is better than 2

I think 4 is also better than 5… but not Infinite

Actually 4 might be equal to infinite

[near tree]

That is a scary level lol. I played it with my pa and the sound off the first time, and I still found it off puting

[near tree]

I'm trying to remember how it ended...
||Gravemind tells thel and John what's up. John hops on a covenant cruiser heading toward earth, leaving Cortona in high charity. Arby Rally's guys against the covenant and takes out Tartarus.|| Was there something important I missed?

[late meteor]

This makes no sense. Can you elaborate on this?

Halo 2 is arguably the best game narratively

[hasty zinc]

"finishing this fight" ending outta nowhere

[late meteor]

Although reach is my personal favourite

[rare cedar]

cliffhanger of the decade

[hasty zinc]

oh you thought you're going back to earth? no

[dreamy stirrup]

"I didn't like the game because the story was mid and the ending was terrible."

"Ur wrong it's the best and you make no sense"

lol

you can like your thing

[late meteor]

How was the story mid?

[dreamy stirrup]

but i have zero love lost for how Halo 2's story was handled and i am allowed ot have that opinion 🙂

[late meteor]

You’re allowed to have any opinion I just don’t know why you have it

[royal agate]

Eddie

[dreamy stirrup]

because i didn't like the story?

we just went over that.

[royal agate]

Munson

[late meteor]

Nevermind

Lol

[forest lagoon]

[fossil skiff]

What in the Chaos did I miss

[royal agate]

Wtf how did that get deleted

[dreamy stirrup]

because it's spam.

[royal agate]

HUH

[dreamy stirrup]

[late meteor]

Based forge map

[valid ingot]

Oh no, we talking stories?
Halo 2 at least respected Halo, unlike the forever tormenting Halo TV Series. All of the games, for all of their flaws, are far superior in story quality than Paramount's demon piece.

[late meteor]

Did you enjoy Halo 5’s story?

The opening cutscene was pretty cool

[royal agate]

Facts

[valid ingot]

It was decent. Poorly executed, but I would rather live all of eternity in Halo 5 than have The TV Series exist

[royal agate]

Yup

It was the mask that ruined it for me

[late meteor]

Mask?

[forest lagoon]

What if I said I enjoyed it while also having my fair bit of criticisms yet still enjoyed it

[royal agate]

Why did he have to take it aff the first episode

[late meteor]

Based

[royal agate]

Helmet

I meant helmet

[late meteor]

I haven’t watched the tv series so i didn’t know what you meant

[royal agate]

Oh

[valid ingot]

Don't watch it. You will be much happier

[royal agate]

Yes

Bye imma go watch memes of stranger things

Don't ask why

[candid solar]

Based, Halo 5's campaign is hella underrated

Oh wait just read the rest. Gross.

[forest lagoon]

I don't even know what's being talked about

[valid ingot]

Halo Stories

[candid solar]

TV show's getting stinkied on.

And Trenchbird is enjoying... I think these are strawberry margharitas?

I did not spell that right.

[forest lagoon]

I was talking about 5

[candid solar]

Ah

[forest lagoon]

I believe you've had one too many

[candid solar]

Oh, no, I spell things wrong all the time.

[forest lagoon]

[candid solar]

And I'm on the 'water and coffee' part of the night.

The best way to embrace the Emperor is a head full of funny.

[smoky token]

let people enjoy things

[candid solar]

Illegal and wrong. Cringe comic creator made it, ergo bad.

[valid ingot]

I can provide a recommendation based on personal experience.

[candid solar]

So can I

What, so you think you're better than me?

(That's joking. Just noting that.)

[forest lagoon]

(an important addition)

[fossil skiff]

[valid ingot]

And from my personal experience: Halo makes me happier than most things on this Earth, but the TV Show makes be inconceivable unhappy, to use mild terms. The show is unreconcilable, and I wish I never bothered watching the first episode.

[candid solar]

That's a profoundly sad outlook.

And I wish you stronger fortitude in the future.

[vapid siren]

people are allowed to look into it and reach their own personal conclusions

[fossil skiff]

That show really living rent free in your head

[smoky token]

I find that it’s better to look at it as a separate story rather than one that is meant to tie in to mainline halo

which, y’know, it is

I don’t even think about it as halo, just it’s own story

[valid ingot]

I've completely forget about its existence for a while now until Youtube decided to throw a video of someone rewriting the script in my recommendations.

[candid solar]

Look, it's rude to lie.

It's usually better if you don't'nt.

[livid nova]

It would be interesting if we got a Noble Team series or spin off

[valid ingot]

It fits better as Starship Troopers than Halo, especially given that's where they got all the Marine helmets from.

[candid solar]

... That's kinda where Marine armor in general comes from. That and Aliens.

And Starship Troopers didn't have emotionally stunted Child Soldiers. That's Ender's Game.

[livid nova]

So the Halo universe is a combination of Aliens, Starship Troopers, Ender's Game, and some other stuff

[candid solar]

Among many, many other things, including a ludicrous amount of 'Wannabe Hard Sci Fi"

Honestly, that's the worst sin of Reach.

[livid nova]

I like Reach

[valid ingot]

The worst sin of Reach was eviscerating the Book's lore

[livid nova]

It has problems but it's still one of my favorites

[rare cedar]

Watch Aliens 2 and then think of the Halo story (beginning games) and you'll see a lot in common

Aliens 2 came out first

[candid solar]

Nah, worst sin of Reach is inspiring an entire generation of nerds into thinking Halo counts as 'hard sci fi' and formulating the basis of all their arguments off of it.

[livid nova]

Hard sci fi?

[valid ingot]
