[pulsar cobalt]

Poor dude can't recover from that one

[round laurel]

The dude decided to play life on legendary

[livid nova]

I play life on LASO personally

[obsidian wyvern]

if they ever respond pls ping me lol

[livid nova]

Technically SLASO since i'll be alone 😦

[pulsar cobalt]

Its alright mate most of my friends gave up on halo so i only play alone now

[livid nova]

I have only one friend left who still plays halo

Problem is he's really bad

[obsidian wyvern]

that's 1 more than me

none of my irl friends still play halo

[round laurel]

You're lucky.

All my friends just stopped playing games altogether lol.

[livid nova]

Ah that would hurt

[obsidian wyvern]

idk if this is worse than my friends becoming overwatch addicts

[livid nova]

Better to not play games than to play the wrong ones

[round laurel]

It's worse.

Overwatch is fun.

[pulsar cobalt]

i gave up on overwatch realised it was a waste of time

[obsidian wyvern]

I lost interest in it after season 1

[livid nova]

I gave up on overwatch when i realized i wasn't having fun

[queen remnant]

I played a lot of overwatch with my friends years ago, it was fun but in the end well, we got bored because there was anything new

[livid nova]

I'm really beginning to actually enjoy Infinite again now that content is coming at a consistent pace

[obsidian wyvern]

it's funny how overwatch 2 got the number for pve which then got cancelled lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Overwatch 2 was a waste of time

[livid nova]

Overwatch 2 is just a bad sequel imo

It changes basically nothing and makes many things worse

[obsidian wyvern]

it's the same game ngl

[pulsar cobalt]

and whatever happend it was meant to get talent trees haha

[livid nova]

It's the same game but slightly worse

[round laurel]

It's an excuse to change the monetisation model without the possibility of keeping the population stagnant.

[queen remnant]

The 5vs5 imo got the game even worse the gameplay design

This is without saying about the whole progression system to get heroes too

[obsidian wyvern]

seeing 6v6 no role lock videos were funny

xqc getting 5 ana mains always makes me laugh

[queen remnant]

Blizzard took a long time to make significant balances, which of course got the whole meta for like a year or so

Until they tried to lock it and of course, it got worse

There are some good changes they did in OW2 tho but yeah it's just meh overall

[obsidian wyvern]

wonder what's its player count is

[queen remnant]

Most likely enough to keep making updates, that's most likely why they stopped with PvE to keep ongoing with the live service game

[obsidian wyvern]

1.7mil damn

[livid nova]

Overwatch 2?

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[round laurel]

Please don't tell me you got that figure from that rubbish site activeplayer

[obsidian wyvern]

is that not a good source

[livid nova]

Not really

[obsidian wyvern]

(yes I did)

[livid nova]

It's wildly innaccurate a lot of the time

[obsidian wyvern]

right mb

[round laurel]

No.

The data isn't public, and they don't reveal their methodology.

Overwatch 2 is at number 11 on Xbox's most played.

That's pretty good.

[obsidian wyvern]

is infinite still top 10

[livid nova]

I doubt it sadly

[round laurel]

26

[obsidian wyvern]

got me curious about robloxs player count

[ornate panther]

do u play roblox

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[livid nova]

I don't either and I'm curious too

[ornate panther]

my nephew plays it a lot

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean I hopped on the other day when I was here because I was curious about those halo RP games lol

[round laurel]

Kids love it.

[ornate panther]

yes but he takes over my xbox everytime he's over lol

[round laurel]

Rainbox Six Siege is number 5 on Xbox's most played. It's insane how well this game has been doing

[livid nova]

Can you just look up individual games on the list?

[round laurel]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/most-played/games/xbox here

[obsidian wyvern]

combat evolved

[round laurel]

Top 49

[livid nova]

For Honor is on there...

[obsidian wyvern]

what's first

[round laurel]

guess haha

[obsidian wyvern]

fortnite?

[round laurel]

yes

[livid nova]

Ye

[obsidian wyvern]

no surprise

[livid nova]

I see for honor...

I mustn't

[obsidian wyvern]

where

[livid nova]

On the list somehow

[obsidian wyvern]

how far up

[livid nova]

28

[obsidian wyvern]

not bad

[livid nova]

I mustn't go back

[obsidian wyvern]

it seemed like an interesting fighting game when I tried it

[livid nova]

Then I got hit with light spam and left the game

[obsidian wyvern]

Roblox had 5 mil concurrent players at one point, damn

[pulsar cobalt]

You don't really hear about roblox that much anymore

[normal owl]

That game got me good. It looked really awesome: felt really good during the tutorial. So I bought 4x Marching Fire Edition: one for each Xbox as I envisioned me and 3 buddies drinking and playing this fun hack & slash game together. First actual match we played: we were done. Way more complex than I thought.

[willow cloak]

Can we talk about the halo tv show

[livid nova]

What Halo tv show? No Halo tv show exists

[willow cloak]

I just wanna talk about Chiefs butt

[ornate panther]

bonk

[obsidian wyvern]

nooo all that money spent

[pulsar cobalt]

i don't think that's appropriate here lol

[willow cloak]

But it’s part of Halo?

[livid nova]

It's not canon

[molten pelican]

is there new mp music?

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[molten pelican]

interesting

[obsidian wyvern]

well

[ornate panther]

needs more saxophone

[molten pelican]

why am I hearing something new

[obsidian wyvern]

I thought I heard new music but apparently it was always there

[willow cloak]

god I love crying to the ODST soundtrack

[fickle drift]

Halo2 had the best campaign

[molten pelican]

my brain no work

[livid nova]

plays saxophone during alien invasion

[ornate panther]

😂

[sour gate]

drink batteries

provides pwoer to the brain

[willow cloak]

Is battery acid ok

[molten pelican]

tried that, made it worse idk why

[livid nova]

The entire planet is completely on fire around me, and I'm just sitting on my porch playing the sax

[sour gate]

yes :)

[molten pelican]

yeah just water it down with monster

[willow cloak]

Cool I love the taste

[sour gate]

are you crazy?! monsters are soo unhealthy

[molten pelican]

oh sorry yeah my bad

[obsidian wyvern]

been addicted to literally 38 seconds of the binary sunset soundtrack

[molten pelican]

been addicted to massacring entire civilizations for fun

[obsidian wyvern]

banger
https://youtu.be/1gpXMGit4P8

[livid nova]

I feel like people forget about New Hope

[willow cloak]

Hate split jaws

[sour gate]

the best and worst part about songs like these is that they can never be replicated or perfected

[obsidian wyvern]

why are the best pieces always the shortest 😔

[livid nova]

His last words: wort wort wo-

[pulsar cobalt]

that's discrimination to elites

[molten pelican]

hits me deep on a personal level

[willow cloak]

Good

[willow cloak]

Elite preferred species deserve the

[pulsar cobalt]

Elites rights should be protected

[molten pelican]

elites are people too

[livid nova]

We need to start a movement

[ornate panther]

I actually really like H4 soundtrack

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 4 has some amazing soundtracks

[molten pelican]

lets sit in the middle of the road with our hands glued to it because everyone knows that is how you get a point across effectively

[willow cloak]

Incorrect opinion

[hallow olive]

Electric chair

[ornate panther]

u can't listen to Arrival or 117 and say it's bad

[livid nova]

Halo 4 has one of my favorite soundtracks

[molten pelican]

no

[pulsar cobalt]

That's how you get shanked and arrested

[willow cloak]

Yes, yes I can

[livid nova]

Green and Blue

[obsidian wyvern]

notably

117
arrival
mantis
awakening

[ornate panther]

yes love them

[livid nova]

Why do people forget Green and Blue?

[ornate panther]

[molten pelican]

yes but it was all for the cause

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't like green and blue tbh

[willow cloak]

Halo 2 is objectively the best Halo

[molten pelican]

personally halo 4 soundtrack is my least favorite of them all, wasnt as memorable or atmospheric, percussions felt too futuristic like a 2014 dystopian movie lol

[hallow olive]

Soundtrack and Story I agree

[molten pelican]

halo 5 did better at simplifying it and giving it more atmosphere, wasnt my fav still but better imo

[obsidian wyvern]

I dislike halo 4 a lot but the soundtracks were so good

[hallow olive]

Halo 4 was mid

[pulsar cobalt]

Halo elite edition is the best halo its so good

[molten pelican]

yeah my fav story personally

[obsidian wyvern]

favourite non halo soundtracks?

[livid nova]

Game soundtracks or any?

[hallow olive]

Halo 5 and Infinite need to be dragged behind a barn, shot in the head, drug to the docks and thrown on a ship, dump it in the sea and when it washes ashore, burn it, collect the ashes and scatter them at the studios of 343i

[obsidian wyvern]

game film series whatever

[molten pelican]

what

[hallow olive]

Subnautica

[livid nova]

No one really talks about it, but i love Hollow Knight's soundtrack

[molten pelican]

any hanz zimmer tbh

[molten pelican]

DUDE ITS SO GOOD

[obsidian wyvern]

time

[livid nova]

I know! It's amazing

[molten pelican]

hollow night soundtrack massively underrated its masterful

[obsidian wyvern]

got any in particular bizcra

[hallow olive]

Sorry I just despise 5 and Infinite

[livid nova]

It's perfect for the game

I love City of Tears and Dung Defender

[molten pelican]

perfect atmosphere and choice of instruments

[livid nova]

But really all of them are fantastic

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll check em out

[molten pelican]

skyrim soundtrack too

[livid nova]

Oooh another good one

[molten pelican]

AC black flag pretty good

[livid nova]

City of Tears is like a calming melody, while Dung Defender is a boss theme

[molten pelican]

dirtmouth and enter hallownest my fav personally

[hallow olive]

I don’t really pay much attention to soundtracks, I mostly listen to metal

[livid nova]

Enter Hallownest is also really good

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean a lot of media have metal soundtracks

[molten pelican]

doom

[hallow olive]

Yeah

Never played doom

[livid nova]

My favorite has to be Sealed Vessel however

[molten pelican]

i dont listen to video game soundtracks except when studying or sleeping or smthn, I listen to a lot of 90s and below

[obsidian wyvern]

id suggest doom 2016,a bit of a slow start but it's really fun

[sour gate]

right now Die Toteninsel Emptiness from Signalis

[hallow olive]

Any thrash metal fans here

[sour gate]

I cannot recommend the game enough and suggest playing it

[livid nova]

spork thoughts on Sealed Vessel?

[obsidian wyvern]

feel like I've heard this one

[hallow olive]

Recently been playing a Back To The Future-inspired indie game called No Time… good game

[molten pelican]

pretty good, I like them all

[hallow olive]

Would definitely recommend playing it

[sour gate]

maybe
the game did go under the radar for whatever reason

[regal chasm]

I don't know... I might just not have the free time to play

[hallow olive]

Dang

Indie games have so much potential

[livid nova]

spork, I completed White Palace without Hiveblood

[ornate panther]

love horror games

[candid solar]

Alright, I think I found the one thing that 343i did that I will never forgive them for.

They denied us the Crab Rifle.

They denied us the CRAB RIFLE

[molten pelican]

ive never actually played it tho I rly want to download it

[sour gate]

you might've missed the pun....

[candid solar]

THE CRAB RIFLE

[livid nova]

Bro it's one of the best games I've ever played, if you're considering it, absolutely get it

[obsidian wyvern]

it was a time joke.. hence the smirkle

[candid solar]

Dynf I need to borrow your image posting privileges

[hallow olive]

Yeah I missed it… somehow

[sour gate]

any recommendations

[candid solar]

https://www.halopedia.org/images/1/1f/H4_StormRifle_Concept_2.jpg

[molten pelican]

fortnite

[obsidian wyvern]

I usually deny those because I get spammed after a while, but we might let this slip

[livid nova]

Crab rifle...

[candid solar]

It's literally a crab rifle

[sour gate]

never playing fornie

[candid solar]

THEY MODELED IT AFTER CRABS

[candid solar]

Thanks!

[molten pelican]

exactly why its a horror game

[molten pelican]

oh u right lmao

[livid nova]

It's a travesty when on a discord server you post your spartan drip but no one rates or responds to it

[candid solar]

Yeah it's straight up crab rifle

[obsidian wyvern]

weird inspiration

[ornate panther]

kinda makes sense with the whole Scarab aesthetic

[candid solar]

It makes a ton of sense in hindsight considering 4 was a rush job but 5 leaned into crabs for Covenant tech.

[molten pelican]

master chief could be a crab

[candid solar]

Much like how the Harvester is super organic, but that's not actually normal for Halo 4 Covenant gear

[ornate panther]

I think they were going for a more "alien" look

[obsidian wyvern]

the same way the scarab is?

[hallow olive]

I hate Fortnite so much (I’m incompetent)

[livid nova]

5 was the first 343 game that felt like it's own game imo

[sour gate]

I don't like Battle Royales

[hallow olive]

Same

[sour gate]

each time I play never feels like I make progress

[candid solar]

Well, kinda. I mean more literally, like, the Harvester straight up looks like a giant beetle in every way, down to a weird beetle face.

[livid nova]

I'm excited and curious for whatever Certain Affinity is working on

[obsidian wyvern]

oh right

[ornate panther]

guardians kinda have a crab face

[hallow olive]

Anyone heard of a survival game called Volcanoids?

[candid solar]

So I'd assume Crabs and bugs were the name of the game for Covvie tech, but they didn't really get to do that for Halo 4 as much as they wanted to.

[hallow olive]

Still early access but fun

[candid solar]

Because the guns in 5 stuck to the Halo 4 aesthetic (Kind of a halfway between Halo 3, bug, and sports car)

But the vehicles all went with a bug aesthetic

[molten pelican]

if you eat uranium you wouldnt have to eat again like ever

[sour gate]

so true!

[molten pelican]

i tried it

[hasty zinc]

I've been quite close to pulling the trigger on that game a few times

[ornate panther]

Greyhill Incident looks pretty good, it's an indie title

[candid solar]

I'm not kidding, btw, the other Halo 4 ref sheet for the Storm Rifle specifically cites sports cars.

[molten pelican]

so full rn, only 20 billion calories

[livid nova]

I got a mantis from my daily pack!

[obsidian wyvern]

there a lot of ways to interpret this message and im not sure which way I should

[sour gate]

game focused around 90's aliens?
I'm interested already

[ornate panther]

lol right

[molten pelican]

idk why he wants to shoot the game, why not just play it

[livid nova]

I'm sad that they delayed Silksong

[ornate panther]

same

delayed game is better than a broken game tho that's my philosophy

[livid nova]

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

[ornate panther]

Redfall broke my heart

[sour gate]

I've never seen a game in such poor state on release

probably others but Redfall was just really unfinished

[livid nova]

Lets see

[ornate panther]

it was worse than saints row...

[livid nova]

Cyberpubk 2077, Battlefield 2042, and more

[iron shale]

It’s like all “recent” next gen games were all released half baked

[ornate panther]

yup

[sour gate]

I think execs are trying to make up for loss profit from the pandemic

rushing as many things as they can

[iron shale]

That makes a lot of sense

[ornate panther]

I feel bad for the developers tbh, usually it's corporate decisions

[livid nova]

Or the corps are pressuring studios to release games that would be finished but because of covid are not in a polished state

[ornate panther]

ye and everyone working from home

not having the proper resources n stuff

but it is understandable, employee health should be a priority

[iron shale]

Until they lose their jobs

[ornate panther]

that includes mental health as well

[iron shale]

Because of covid

Do the roles work?

I clicked them but they haven’t shown on my pf yet

[faint mantle]

We're checking it

[iron shale]

Could be my end being slow

[fickle drift]

I didn't even play that game and I still want my money back

[livid nova]

Some companies still deliver quality games despite the pandemic

Santa Monica for example

[brave helm]

no way someone else with an elster pfp

[crude furnace]

God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo, Resident Evil 8, Stray, Deathloop, Scorn, Elden Ring of course, pretty sure ffxvi isnt going to suck, although its made by evil profit corpo Square Enix

exclusively for PS5..

[iron shale]

Ok?…

Scorn is on game pass

Death loop is also on game pass

Game pass is an Xbox thing btw

[crude furnace]

just sayin there are enough games that arent trash

[iron shale]

I mean yeah

Just some games you wouldn’t expect aren’t up to code

PS5 or Xbox. I’d doesn’t matter

Console wars is stupid and it doesn’t matter what’s better on what

[crude furnace]

true, im not a Nintendo kid, else i wouldve named some of those too

[iron shale]

Got to be honest, the new Zelda game is fire

[candid solar]

The only thing I learned from console wars was that most consumers are objectively obtuse fools.

[iron shale]

What’s the point arguing about what’s better and what’s worse?

[candid solar]

It's all relative and pointless.

[iron shale]

Real

I think my roles are still broken

[fickle drift]

Very true

[faint mantle]

Like I said, we're checking it.

[ornate panther]

I still play my 3ds sometimes

[fossil skiff]

Still have my DS Lite

[iron shale]

My Mom sold my 360 when we moved

Still salty about it

[fossil skiff]

Used to have a gameboy and Pokémon emerald but it has gone MIA…no idea when

[rich egret]

As you should

[iron shale]

Real

[fossil skiff]

Also have the action replay but it no longer works >_>

[iron shale]

Damn

[rich egret]

Dang

[pliant hatch]

my sister took my original gameboy and basically trashed it.

[crude furnace]

they tend to do that..

[iron shale]

My brother stabbed his 2ds in the top screen then broke it in two over his knee after he died in Minecraft

[ornate panther]

💀

[iron shale]

Stabbed with the stylus that came with it too

Rest in pieces

[rare cedar]

How much diamond did he have

[iron shale]

😂

I don’t remember 😂

[rare cedar]

Must’ve been a lot to break it

[faint mantle]

Remember how Minecraft pocket edition used to be a rather small piece of land (by today's standards) and you could actually mine, use, and run out of the diamonds the world had to offer?

[iron shale]

Pocket edition was jank

In creative you could place blocks miles away. Only in pocket edition could you do this

Imma warm up then play ranked

Trying to get plat before Tuesday

Gold 5 rn

[molten pelican]

used to play pocket edition lite

which yes was a thing, sheep had ears and grass was this ugly dark green

ol 2011

[fickle drift]

I played PE back in early 2015

The nether reactor was a thing then

[molten pelican]

yup, that think was weird but fun lol

[fickle drift]

Only a handful of spawn eggs

That was a long time ago

[molten pelican]

played mc ever since 2011 lite version, moved to legacy version on wii u (was great lmao) and then java

[molten pelican]

feels like only a few years but it was almost a decade

[fickle drift]

Yeah, it's weird

[candid solar]

I try not to think about it.

[molten pelican]

nostalgia is strong

[fickle drift]

What was the first game you guys ever played?

[fossil skiff]

Yes! Good times.

[worldly sedge]

Halo CE

[iron shale]

Minecraft legacy on the 360

[pliant hatch]

ET

[gray leaf]

I lost so many games when I was younger, mostly because I let friends borrow them but they never returned them back. To this day, I still miss my copy of MGS4 for the PS3.

And I'm still pissed that my parents sold my SNES. Thankfully I have my Super Mario World cartridge. That I'm gonna keep forever LOL.

[crude furnace]

Doom

[fickle drift]

Pretty hardcore first time lol

[muted rose]

Lego Star Wars TCS

[ornate panther]

Resident Evil for ps1

[muted rose]

Simple for a 6 year old, who refused to play free play

[ornate panther]

prolly explains a lot about me lmao

[fickle drift]

I think Purble Place was my first

[crude furnace]

back then it was more a way to show off your PC

[fickle drift]

If anyone doesn't know, that game was a classic that was included with windows 7

[crude furnace]

suppose nowadays its still the same

[muted rose]

Oh it is

At least for eternal

You can run that at full specs, thats an impressive pc

[ornate panther]

I'm trying to beat the dead space remake on hard currently

[muted rose]

Actually, the first game I have a memory from was Halo 2, my uncle played it while I sat on my dads lap. I believe he was playing one of the arbiter missions

Now that I think about it

[crude furnace]

Took me a while to play 2, CE was playable on PC

[pliant hatch]

wish my first game was halo. that would be cool

[fickle drift]

The first game with a story mode that I played was halo ce

That was cool

[thorny ice]

Wort wort wort

[hazy path]

Worters

[ornate panther]

it's wortin time

[molten pelican]

halo infinites matchmaking for me rn is being super annoying

infinite is now just customs for me XD

Il play for a week, then take a break for a week

[iron shale]

I deranked

Last three games we only had three players

The fourth guy either wasn’t there or left

[molten pelican]

alas why I never play ranked

[ornate panther]

same

sometimes me and my partner play doubles but I suck at it lol

[true maple]

if i install mcc on pc, then i install every dlc (game), then i move the game folders (halo1,halo2 etc) to a spare hdd and only move back the game im currently playing, will this be fine for updating the base mcc game?

like do the actual dlc (games) ever get updated

or is it just the mcc base

[cedar turret]

That’s why I avoid tennis. That and it’s the cause of nightmares

[pliant hatch]

all the games get updated at the same time, but I don't know if you only install individual ones.

[unique vigil]

Just had a BTB Heavies slayer that ended 100 - 17

[ornate panther]

lol I had someone tbag me earlier for ruining their perfection

[pliant hatch]

should've tbagged them for ending their perfection

[ornate panther]

😂😂

yeah but the game ended I killed them at like the last 10 sec

so worth it tho

they had like 40 kills

most with a shock rifle

[sour gate]

ended a round of Hi with a losing streak of 4 lol
don't really mind tho since I got to have quality time with my dad

[rare cedar]

That’s what it’s all about

[warm mirage]

I did a greatest video game tier list anyone wanna see

[hallow olive]

The DMR and BR have to be the best Bungie-era UNSC weapons

[ornate panther]

I still miss the sticky detonator

[rich egret]

Im eating some hecking good chinese food

Always goes hard

[smoky token]

I may or may not have just played basically a straight 24 hours of stellaris

my CPU may or may not be in serious pain

The 360mm AIO was a good investment

[rich egret]

Gaht damn

[winter flame]

i imagine its more changes in temps then being hot that wears out a CPU and whatnot

so ya a good cooler keeping temps constant is well worth the money

[candid solar]

Helling

Helling good

[rich egret]

Helling good chinese food

Scrum-diddily-umptious

[smoky token]

Actually just being hot period is what wears a CPU out

[candid solar]

The 3000 spicy CPUs of 343

[winter flame]

i've cooked my laptop's CPU so much playing Halo ngl

[candid solar]

Y'know what would be a cool fracture?

Halo, but the Spartan program is vampires

Literally just vampires

[smoky token]

Fellow NCD enjoyer I see

[candid solar]

My sibling in Christ we literally both moderate Halo subreddits

[smoky token]

lmao

true

[winter flame]

i use to underclock but at this point it's like 5 years old so i just let it cook itself at like 90C

[candid solar]

I think my old prebuilt is starting to fry

[smoky token]

90 is not a healthy temperature for a CPU

[candid solar]

I can barely load the Mourningstar (Player Hub) in Darktide without it screaming

[smoky token]

Above 75 or so is when it starts to degrade

[candid solar]

And the actual fighting takes about 15 seconds to stop chugging

[smoky token]

GPU or CPU?

[candid solar]

YYyyyyyes

[elfin glacier]

Halo Reddit moderators!!!!!

[smoky token]

I know the game is super GPU heavy but I never bothered to measure the CPU

[winter flame]

im not really worried about killing such an old laptop, gotta get my money's worth out of those 4ghz cores

[candid solar]

Amusingly, neither of us mod the actual r/Halo unless Titan got an ask I don't know about

[smoky token]

Lol

[elfin glacier]

@vapid siren r/halo amiright

[smoky token]

I think I can hit 5.0 on my CPU

[candid solar]

And yet I'm still banned from Halopedia because some Admin there has terminal skill issue involving Trenchbird

[smoky token]

usually I think it hovers at uhhh 4.7

max

[elfin glacier]

Lorebird
Gets stronger with every book

[candid solar]

It's been literally two years lmao

Maybe 3

[rich egret]

Lorebird?

[candid solar]

Me but lore themed

[rich egret]

Ah

[smoky token]

The Bloodbird will get you

Stronger with every victim

[candid solar]

I get stronger with every kill

And every book read

And every Trench made

(Current world politics have made me exponentially stronger)

[winter flame]

somehow im sure you were banned for a good reason 😛

[candid solar]

Not really, actually.

I got banned because I made fun of a mod for complaining about how bright lightbridges are in Halo 4.

I am not kidding.

[winter flame]

completely reasonable ban if you ask me xd

[elfin glacier]

Absorbs niche lore to replenish power

[candid solar]

"Hmmm yes this structure made out of literal solidified light is too bright"

It wasn't even a good meme lmao, I used comic sans

[rich egret]

L mod

[fickle drift]

Doom Slayer?

[smoky token]

They added 40 point lights to it and accidentally set the intensity too high

Also no witch hunts please

[candid solar]

I'm not naming them

And it has nothing to do with the fact that I don't actually remember the moderator in question

[smoky token]

lol

[fickle drift]

DON"T

[rich egret]

Also the bridges in halo 4 werent that bright, at least to me

[fickle drift]

DON"T CLICK

[candid solar]

I just know that was the last straw, the 'true' reason I got informed was that I argued 'too aggressively' with mod staff back in 2019, which means I just won too many arguments.

[fickle drift]

NEVER CLICK ON THAT

[candid solar]

I assume that was some sort of degenerate nonsense.

[rich egret]

Virus link or some horrid crap?

[winter flame]

every single light source in halo 4 is too bright

[candid solar]

It can be aggressive yeah

That's half of why I was floored by getting banned for the meme lmao

[winter flame]

even if the dang sun is somehow too bright

[smoky token]

Don’t discuss it please

[candid solar]

It's not that I disagreed that light bridges were too light, I just found the subject matter somehow hilarious.

[rich egret]

It sounds hilarious

[candid solar]

I'd get being mad at the sun, that's fine, it's bad sometimes in 4.

But, it's a bridge right

[fickle drift]

You mad sound like a Reddit Admin

[candid solar]

Literally made out of shaped light

[smoky token]

I’m going to sound extremely pretentious for a second

[candid solar]

I mean, I haven't asked for kittens yet.

[smoky token]

Its not actually a sun

[rich egret]

I get mad at the sun regardless of game or real life. Its always too dam bright

[fickle drift]

Okay all good then.

[winter flame]

did they tone down the bridges in halo 5? I know the sun is much less glarey

[candid solar]

They did.

4 went hard on the bloom.

[candid solar]

🤓

[smoky token]

4 went hard on the post processing in general

[winter flame]

i love 5's lighting engine, i get really annoyed when people say halo 5 is just halo 4 with higher res textures. such an insult to the work that was done for 5

[smoky token]

The color grading for every level was also super high tuned

and not usually in a good way

[candid solar]

A sustained open-air fusion reactor is basically a sun, Titan.

[rich egret]

Literally leave

[formal wasp]

?

[fickle drift]

Dude this is a Halo server. Go do that shi somewhere else

[rich egret]

Remove yourself

[candid solar]

There should be a "Trenchbird's thoughts' channel

I'm sure it'd be enlightening

[elfin glacier]

The most entrenched ideas

[candid solar]

(Most of them will involve learning to cook exotic food)

[smoky token]

🤓 ☝️

[fickle drift]

Man's ego is off the chain

[smoky token]

well actually

[elfin glacier]

*bird's

[smoky token]

It’s my fault, I made a “Trenchbird’s lore corner” channel in my server for him

[candid solar]

Lmao

[winter flame]

is there not a halo lore subreddit trench

[rich egret]

Trenchbirds Entrenched Philosophy and Cuisine

[fickle drift]

Ah yes, my fault.

[candid solar]

I objectively have correct opinions on both, so it'd check out.

[winter flame]

you're probably going to be really insulted by this but you just said the most reddit statement, even if its in irony

[candid solar]

Not really.

I talked like that before I had a Reddit account, because apparently just using proper grammar is "Reddit behavior".

Despite the fact that people there talk like they are on Instagram nowadays.

[winter flame]

its not the grammer but i dont wanna be mean to you cause i actually like you

[smoky token]

I’ve almost stopped using the platform completely tbh

I mostly use Twitter and Discord now

[fossil skiff]

You are missing nothing

[candid solar]

Pretttty much how I wager Titan and I are both viewing it.

[smoky token]

I know, i’ve been terminally active on there for 3 years

lmao

[candid solar]

It's missing... What, degenerate takes?

[smoky token]

true

[rich egret]

I associate proper and articulate grammar(in text) with people i deem intimidating. I dont know why but it makes people sounds more mature

[smoky token]

i’ll go on there to do a little moderation, check on my favorite subreddits, and maybe look at recent news stories once or twice a day

[rich egret]

And I am not a mature person, therefore intimidating

[candid solar]

Like, I swear, I look at r/Halostory and it instantly puts me into conniption fits because some weird person is already screaming about something that is literal basement involvement knowledge.

[elfin glacier]

r/halostory, a horrible place

[winter flame]

ya but you gotta respect people can like halo lore and not be deeply into it

[candid solar]

I still find it amusing how I somehow ended up moderating r/HCJ, r/Haloinfinite, and r/Lowsodiumhalo

[candid solar]

I respect an interest and a willingness to learn for almost all subjects. It's deaf ears I hate, and Reddit has more of those than the former.

[winter flame]

fair

[smoky token]

Classic reddit moment

[candid solar]

That still makes me laugh.

[winter flame]

hahaha

[fickle drift]

Honestly

[candid solar]

It's a shame you can't share the spicier insults here, Titan.

It's funny as hell when it happens.

[regal chasm]

I just can't look at R/Halo without getting annoyed. it's 90% "Oh look at my double kill plz give karma".

Tbf, Reddit is almost only Karma seeking folks. don't even bother asking for help in any enthusiats subreddit, if they can't find a way to get karma out of it, they won't do anything for you.

[rich egret]

Skidaddle is a funny word

[candid solar]

Then again, I'll admit, I've had some pretty petty moments. I wanted to buy one of those grapple hook Chief statues once, but I was planning on ripping off the head and replacing it with a 3d Printing GEN2 Hunter helmet and repainting the entire mini in Locke's paint scheme.

[smoky token]

A lot of my top comments were on PC enthusiast subreddits

[candid solar]

And then sharing it to r/Halo for the sillies.

[smoky token]

I like helping people, Karma incentive isn’t really a big thing for me

Which is funny because I have something like 200k karma

[regal chasm]

You are one of the good one then.

[candid solar]

... I think I have like 40K, maybe 70K.

[smoky token]

There are a bunch of people that make accounts specifically to karma farm which they sell for a couple hundred-thousand bucks each

[candid solar]

50K rounded up.

[smoky token]

It’s apparently really lucrative

All they do is repost old stuff

[candid solar]

I considered doing that at one point. Then I figured I had better uses of my time.

[regal chasm]

I think I got something like 300. Not 300k. Just 300 lol. I speak only wehn i got something to say.

[smoky token]

same lmao

[candid solar]

Mostly just typing out and discarding old arguments and dissertations on ancient Halo lore arguments.

Like my continued frustration at Created/Spartan IV/MJOLNIR/Silver Timeline/Whatever else stuff

[rich egret]

I just really like learning about halo lore or just lore in general. I find it interesting

[winter flame]

i think the main reason for repost bots is to create accounts that can then be used to manipulate the platform. very high karma accounts probs do sell but its mostly just for getting past karma filters i would guess

[rich egret]

People just get nitpicky over nothing if you dont get it 100% accurate

[ornate panther]

these twitch streams are lit

[candid solar]

I can't imagine spending a few hundred to bypass a filter, likely for the sole reason of dropping a slur once.

[ornate panther]

feels so good to finally have female Spartans have the spotlight

[winter flame]

i mean companies and potentially state actors

[candid solar]

You're expecting too much out of degens.

[smoky token]

Accounts like Gallowboob get paid to advertise on reddit since they have such a large platform there

Off the top of my head I know both Netflix and Nike have paid him

[ornate panther]

just got the Got Milked emblem lol

[candid solar]

I really want to get that joke.

[smoky token]

Wasn’t that a twitch drops one?

[regal chasm]

Honestly it all just make me wish we could have an anonymous based forum/social media. Unfortunately, most of those end up turning into a mess.

[ornate panther]

yes it's going on now

[candid solar]

I've been using Pineapple grenades and milk emblem every once in a while but I don't think that's the joke 343 meant.

[smoky token]

4chan moment

[candid solar]

And I can't explain that joke either.

[candid solar]

At least /tg is usually interesting.

[smoky token]

Unicorn for me

[candid solar]

Until they complain about the new Primaris models for 40K

Then again I usually avoid social media that isn't Discord, Telegram, or 🏳️‍🌈 like the plague.

[ornate panther]

milk emblem goes so good with the oreo coating

[elfin glacier]

The fourth channel

[elfin glacier]

One of these things is not like the others

[candid solar]

It's Discord

That's the odd one out

[smoky token]

hmmmmm

maybe edit that message lol

just to be safe

[candid solar]

Is that better

[elfin glacier]

I love 🏳️‍🌈.com

[ornate panther]

we got cat ears already where is cow print coating??

[elfin glacier]

Moo

[candid solar]

Part of the Flenser bundle

[smoky token]

Yes

thank you

[candid solar]

Lmao

Man, I really want some shrimp pasta right now

But it'd take too long to make some

[jade vault]

[rich egret]

Make it, itll be worth it

[candid solar]

Nah

[rich egret]

Dang

[fickle drift]

"You know what we need? Halo wars 3."
-No one ever

[candid solar]

WE NEED THE CREATED DLC OF HALO WARS 2.

[ornate panther]

I will pay good credits for a cow print coating

[rich egret]

I never got around to playing Halo Wars

[candid solar]

I AM STILL MAD ABOUT THIS.

[rich egret]

Lol

[candid solar]

There were straight up plans for a third playable faction, the Created, at one point

[rich egret]

Really? That sounds awesome

[candid solar]

People complain now about the Created not getting fleshed out and I'm just sitting here like

THERE. RIGHT THERE.

IF PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT FLOOD AND... Sunray, apparently... SO MUCH, WE COULD'VE HAD IT FLESHED OUT MORE NEARLY FOUR YEARS AGO

And it wouldn't even have spawned the CBRN questions that Awakening the Nightmare did

[wild sleet]

Welp can’t run Halo 2 vista on my Pc for that 100% nostalgia, oh well MCC still exists I suppose

[candid solar]

Just play MCC Halo 2 on classic settings. It's built off the Vista port anyways because Bungie didn't want to share old files.

[rich egret]

Ye

[candid solar]

Even has almost all of the same bugs like the upside down wraith spawn in Arbiter's last level.

[wild sleet]

They fixed that

[candid solar]

Really?

Huh. I mean, it's a Banshee segment so it was already practically a non issue

Surprising

[wild sleet]

They fixed some of the legacy stuff like graphics & stuff that was missing so it’s more in line with the Xbox version

[candid solar]

Well, good for them.

[fickle drift]

Why are there so many inappropriate custom games in Halo 5????

[candid solar]

Seriously though this is a huge issue for me

Because I keep SEEING IT, and it's just like, guys, GUYS, most of the stuff touched on isn't even that new to the subject

We already knew the Created had a mandate of world terraforming

We knew it because one of the Halo 5 remix maps was literally on a planet that got terraformed by the created.

[winter flame]

humans should have just surrendered to Cortana smh

clearly the good guys

[candid solar]

I mean, I'd assume any sane Earth fleet survivors went the way of Quisling

[fickle drift]

Keep it in your pants.

[candid solar]

Typo

It beats dying to Created forces in your EMP'd ship

[timid crane]

I have done a big return

[fickle drift]

Can someone please tell me why there are so many inappropriate custom games in Guardians?

[candid solar]

Because they are not being reported enough.

Do your part, citizen.

[wild sleet]

They don’t get reported

[fickle drift]

Okay thank you

[candid solar]

Be sure to report any and all assassination tower servers too

They all suck

[static meteor]

i cant wait for infection

[wild sleet]

What Trenchbird said the amount of Assassination Towers made me turn away from the browser, same with the recruitments

[viral dune]

Report anything that isn't desert bus

[fossil skiff]

You just want to fly around the map again smh

[fickle drift]

yall, they hit the second tower. (i may be a little bit late)

[grave forge]

id like to speak to the manager

[fickle drift]

📱 💬 "Yes?"

[grave forge]

ive figured out halo infinites motto

[fickle drift]

interesting 🫳

damn 😦

[grave forge]

you're welcome

[ornate panther]

well I mean it's literally in the title Halo lol

Halos loop

[smoky token]

Please remain constructive @grave forge 🙂

[grave forge]

whyd you delete it though?

was a pretty neat idea

[ornate panther]

sometimes good ideas don't always happen unfortunately

[grave forge]

sad reality indeed

[ornate panther]

it is sad but it is reality regardless

not to say it's all bad tho

sad doesn't always mean bad ya know

[grave forge]

what are you a sadist?

[lethal spindle]

Hey

[ornate panther]

is that an issue

[grave forge]

depends on who you enjoy seeing in pain

[smoky token]

weird…

[timid crane]

I would like to make a comment but I unfortunately cannot

Rip

[lime elbow]

How is everyone?

[fickle drift]

Alright

[smoky token]

tired but i have to finish watching this youtube video

[lime elbow]

Well happy better then terrible

[jaunty yoke]

Really mad about this double standard

[lime elbow]

Why?

[jaunty yoke]

343 announces they are cancelling campaign splitscreen and suddenly the Halo fanbase has a collective meltdown that ends in outrageous conflict
Meanwhile, Blizzard cancels PvE in OW2, the reason OW2 exists in the first place, and I don't see people making a hashtag to fire them trending topic, nor do I see the playerbase of the game dropping

[smoky token]

I don’t know, I’ve seen some pretty extreme reactions to Blizzard’s announcement

[rich egret]

Truth

Every announcement and cancelation will have its backlashes

[balmy tundra]

i have now finished with all the battlepasses

[rich egret]

Heck yeah, good job on ya!

[ornate panther]

just now?

[candid solar]

Yeah, but on the other hand, I have yet to really see it be a trend.

[lime elbow]

I hate it

[balmy tundra]

i did it all 4 of them this season

[shell agate]

First impressions of halo reach: the game crashed halfway into the first mission and now I can’t open MCC

[rich egret]

Dang, have you tried restarting your console?

[fading silo]

I wonder if they fixed that problem where it crashes on the bridge section of “Metropolis “ in H2A. I remember me and my friend were trying to play through it in coop but the game kept crashing.like it can’t handle all the explosions happening on screen

[shell agate]

Playing on PC. I uninstalled and am reinstalling

[rich egret]

Hopefully that fixes your problem

[strong walrus]

Man ever since i bought the campaign. i never felt so good

[strong walrus]

[rare cedar]

It’s what you didn’t do

Think about it

[fickle drift]

i just found the soundboard button how did i instantly recognize it was ubernicks reaction to the e3 campaign gameplay trailer

[timid crane]

Merty!!!!!

I finally have Jedi survivor!!!!!!

I just booted it up for the first time and I got chills

AHHHHH IM SO EXCITED

[calm fiber]

Mid game, let me borrow your armor instead.

[high crystal]

Hello, new here

[timid crane]

Maaaaan don’t get me cooking on you being a mid AI again

[gleaming swift]

this is where the fun begins

[timid crane]

😂👌

[gleaming swift]

cal's got that chad beard now

jk lol

[timid crane]

Factual content

Plus he’s got the chad dismemberment now

[gleaming swift]

yei

[timid crane]

Plus the brutality of the first mission is just 😘👌

[bronze breach]

Suprised spartan armor doesnt have anti AI system to combat its armor being taken over

[timid crane]

I think it does? At least the newest gen does

Chiefs suit in infinite had a whole program to delete an ai

[gleaming swift]

dang i barely know halo lore💀

[bronze breach]

So the one in the cutscene was like gen I or something?

[timid crane]

Sorta

[obsidian wyvern]

SPI is old I swear

[bronze breach]

Still able to use AI with them but not sure if it had any failsafes

[timid crane]

It was SPI armor which had like extremely bare bones hardware and was mostly just a gen layered suit with like odst armor put in with the ability to carry advanced functions if needed

In this case AI was the advanced function

[bronze breach]

To combat infected spartan armor. Send in unconscious john Cortana controlled chief from the Halo tv show.

[timid crane]

Based

[cerulean terrace]

er guys quick question. I'm in The Maw and i'm looking at a room full of ARs and shotties, but i can't replenish my shotgun shells. Is this a bug?

i can replenish my AR bullets

nvm, might be just for show

[inner pine]

Just loaded into first ranked game of infinite for the day. Was oddball on live fire, in a 2v4, with 400 ms latency wtf 😂

[honest minnow]

anyone else getting 1000+ ping after latest update , IN , AUS and NZ region

[honest minnow]

its absolutely unplayable , :((((((((( , even as host i get 240 ping, similar thing with other players in same region

[fickle drift]

Is your matchmaking set to local?

[honest minnow]

locally there are no games, always played on expanded , got 200-300 ms , which was playable

[obsidian wyvern]

hosting doesnt mean you get to pick the region

i dont understand why, but thats how it is

[honest minnow]

i meant i went in a sqaud with people right in my region and hosted the lobby still got 240 ms

[fickle drift]

Do you usually play around this time? Might just be the player count is especially low at this time for your region

[obsidian wyvern]

idk if this is completely accurate, but im guessing youre getting NA servers which is why your ping is so high

[honest minnow]

could be , i have played after a weeks gap , but this is so sad , thanks for the chart , ill try playing later in the night and check

[obsidian wyvern]

player count will be a lot better in around 5 hours

[honest minnow]

MCC doesnt do this though , do they have different servers

[obsidian wyvern]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fickle drift]

Dublin? I thought it would be in London

Maybe tax reasons made them put it in Dublin

[honest minnow]

this is just sad, 😦 thanks for the help tho

[grand merlin]

100% tax reason, same as Amsterdam.

[old pumice]

Mfw the closest server to me is in the netherlands (🤢)

[opaque oyster]

Just had to use this

[honest minnow]

i am at my last wort mate

[opaque oyster]

[fickle drift]

lmao. i'll active on this server lol

[fickle drift]

Yoo

[real gorge]

Peri you had to create a new account cuz of the ban you got here in your main? 💀💀💀

[fickle drift]

How does spartan ops work in terms of co op

Is it like the other halo games or is it like halo 5 where it can be online

Hey

[willow panther]

[pulsar cobalt]

Well he can't do that he will just banned again

[pulsar heron]

not sure exactly what you're asking here. are you asking if spartan ops has local and online multiplayer?

[fickle drift]

I think normal campaign on MCC is peer to peer and halo 5 is online via a server or something like that

I’m wondering if it’s peer to peer like halo 4 or if it’s online

[heavy dragon]

Why do I have slowmode on 💀💀💀

[fickle drift]

We all do

It’s so people aren’t spamming from my understanding

[pulsar heron]

ah, i see. i'm not exactly sure whether mcc's spops is dedicated servers or peer to peer

[pulsar cobalt]

MCC uses host connection i think

but it can be good sometimes you get real bad lag or you just straight up lag

[fossil skiff]

And in halo 2’s case, crashes

[fickle drift]

Reach for me with friends in the US has a big delay

Meanwhile CE is almost perfect lmao

I was away for a week... came back yesterday to find in (Infinite) Ranked that im losing more XP in losses (anywhere from 11-15) and gaining less in wins even when i am top earner on the team (7-10 pts)

Before last week it was not this severe of swings and seems to have reverted back to how it was last/earlier in the year?
Did something change back to how it was earlier with point scaling?

[acoustic river]

Didn’t know where to share this but myself and Bullet2thehead9 recently published this remake of “Abandon” from Halo 4. Lemme know what y’all think 🙂

[cedar turret]

#1076327824924872755

[acoustic river]

Thank you!

[fickle drift]

anyone?

[near tree]

I don't know about that, but I know the further you go up the ranks, the bigger the offset
Like in silver it's the opposite. Every win you go up more than you go down a loss

[fickle drift]

Im only plat 2 rank... well i recall a few weeks they announced there was a change to the way earned XP was given. And i liked it from when they made that change. Just seems like it reverted back (for me at least)

[gleaming mantle]

Hey guys new here is this server strictly infinite or are other halos involved?

[tired wraith]

Anything

[gleaming mantle]

Word

[fickle drift]

oh well

[limpid saffron]

Hello I'm new here

[fickle drift]

Looks like they got the attachments to finally blend into the armor

[narrow barn]

wait

there is a server in São Paulo/Brazil

but i almost never enter this server when playing halo

it goes by american and european servers most of the time

Btw, i'm from Brazil

[obsidian wyvern]

im not sure if its accurate

[pulsar cobalt]

I don't really lag on the us servers

[pulsar cobalt]

They have ?

[obsidian wyvern]

i was checking today about 3 hours ago and didnt see that

[pulsar cobalt]

is that about the attachment thing ?

[fickle drift]

Dumb question, or maybe not, what servers you get pinged to when in a group - is it more dependent on the party leader or does it matter? Like if you're in NA, but playing with an Oceanic player who is the party leader - will it go there first? If you can't find a match would swapping help?

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[fossil skiff]

Wait wat

[obsidian wyvern]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[obsidian wyvern]

someone said attachments now work with your coating, i couldnt see that

[pulsar cobalt]

Strange was this guy telling porkies ?

[fossil skiff]

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean it was a few hrs before them but i really doubt anything happened between that time

[pulsar cobalt]

i could make so many more customization if they sort out the attachment thing

[fossil skiff]

Hopefully they add multiple attachments at once like in Reach.

[obsidian wyvern]

gimme back bling

[pulsar cobalt]

Back blings like swords and that on your back ?

[fickle drift]

I shall just have to experiment then. Cause we keep being thrown to Aussie servers and stuff like BTB Heavies is dead when we play. But not in the NA servers.

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont think its dependent on party leader because whenever i host with NA friends, i get 100+ ping

by myself im on ~12

[fickle drift]

I know we are getting Aussie servers tho, cause half the player names and nameplates are NZ/AU related

[fair marlin]

helo

[elfin glacier]

Helo

[fair marlin]

helo :)

[floral pollen]

Hoi

[winter flame]

i recall them saying it's basically considering everyone in the lobby

so leader does not matter

i dont think its a particularly complicated system though. If I (Europe) play with Americans the logical server is East US. Good for me, good for Americans. But we get anything from West Europe to West US

[light arch]

Good morning guys

[winter flame]

Gm

[timid crane]

Scare

I don’t wanna go to work mane

[light arch]

How are you guys doing today

[bronze breach]

Want to play infinite but too tired

[timid crane]

I want to go play Jedi survivor but I’m out eating breakfast

[pulsar cobalt]

I want to play infinite but its making me depressed because no athlon

Probably the best looking helmet and i can't even get it 😦

[fossil skiff]

Ack, bamboozled by scroll

[winter flame]

patience

this is a test zugzug

u will endure

[jaunty yoke]

I started playing Sekiro and oh man, and I thought Ninja Gaiden was hard

[timid crane]

Dude idk Jedi survivor is like an extreme improvement and worth sequel to fallen order

Like yeah there’s bugs and stuff but very rarely

[pulsar cobalt]

I think it might be a test haha

[jaunty yoke]

Jedi Survivor is ok as long as you're on console

[timid crane]

The combat is very fun

Only thing i dislike which has followed from fallen order to Jedi survivor is the parrying system is very hard to do and get down unless my whole finger is on the bumper

[jaunty yoke]

Yeah lmao

The difference in difficulty is clear when in Sonic Frontiers you can just hold down the parry button forever and he will do it automatically

[timid crane]

I think the parrying problem is mostly because of my elite series 2 controller is just dated and the bumpers are starting to fail

[light arch]

Question what is #lfg-competitive and #lfg-social?

[timid crane]

Lfg stands for “looking for gamer” so the comp tag is for competitive gameplay and social is just for casual gameplay

[candid solar]

Parrying is for nerds

Real men tank every single blow ever, even the avoidable ones

[timid crane]

I haven’t missed you trench bird

😂

[light arch]

Ohh ok can I say anyone plays Xbox?

In LFG chat

[candid solar]

Rude

[jaunty yoke]

I play on Xbox if you need campaign achievements

[timid crane]

You can be as specific as you want for requirements for people joining you

[light arch]

Oh ok

[jaunty yoke]

I am willing to LASO carry Halo 3 and 4, no CE or 2 tho, not touching those ever again

[light arch]

Thank you @timid crane

[winter flame]

LASO carry me in CE and 2 pls

[timid crane]

Of course, chances are if mods can’t help atm most people here are kind enough to help

[winter flame]

pretty please

[timid crane]

I’m just doing my part

[light arch]

Ok I don't do LASO, legendary campaign all that sorry I just died way too much

[winter flame]

understandable

[light arch]

But we're gonna talk about in the LFG Chat @jaunty yoke

[jaunty yoke]

Fair

[timid crane]

Dude I only have half of halo 2 left and all of ODST left and I’ve done everyone on legendary and then I start laso on all of them

[light arch]

But I'll talk to you guys later plus I'm new here by the way

Thank you for the invite guys

And @timid crane thank you for telling me that

[jaunty yoke]

Reach and Halo 4 are actually not so bad, and Halo 3 is easier with 3 or 4 people

[light arch]

You guys have fun playing some Halo all that be safe

[jaunty yoke]

A bit harder than Infinite on Legendary, but much easier than CE and 2

Seriously, there's a mission in Halo 4 LASO, Reclaimer, the one with the mamooth vehicle, you can finish it in LASO without killing any enemies, it's awesome

[winter flame]

Villager if it wasn't for latency i'd ask if you wanted to do 3 hours Legendary co-op. I know solo + S&Q is easiest but co-op without S&Q is a personal challenge I have if I can find someone else in Europe down for it

[jaunty yoke]

Yeah it would be best to avoid as much latency as possible

[winter flame]

probs take multiple attempts at some levels but it seems more fun then S&Q

[jaunty yoke]

You have the time glitch to help you tho

If you die you can save quit, go back to the menu, resume mission and you will be back in your last checkpoint with the time it took you to originally reach it

That way you can just speedrun most missions and bam, easy achievements

[winter flame]

ik but its cheesing it a bit

[timber charm]

facts

CE T&R gave me ptsd

[winter flame]

personally the only way im doing 700/700 is if i find someone to do them with anyway so i figure i might as well just wait until i find someone. at like 640/700 rn

[jaunty yoke]

Truth and Reconciliation and Gravemind took me over 5 hours EACH

[livid nova]

I attempted Gravemind on just regular Legendary, tried for 2 hours then gave up

[jaunty yoke]

I had to learn the Gravemind prison skip on LASO and then perfect it just to get that section of the mission done

[timber charm]

when i got grav glitch to work i cried

[winter flame]

i got crazy lucky Gravemind Legendary and it was okay. I managed to get really good RNG

[jaunty yoke]

Reach and 4 glitches are fun tho, from clipping through the walls like a pro in Halo 4 to getting to the MAC canon at the final mission of Reach before you're supposed to in order to destroy the Phantoms that deploy enemy waves at you and save you the hassle

[timid crane]

Same honestly

[timid crane]

Never took the time to learn how to glitch into that area

[jaunty yoke]

Leaving LASO aside and talking about regular legendary, it might be possible that CE is worse than Halo 2

[timid crane]

Idk man

Halo ce and halo 2 legendary isn’t bad and to irritating imo, it’s halo 3s missions with the flood that are annoying as everything

[bronze breach]

Tank gun on breaker nice.

[jaunty yoke]

I actually want the tank gun to become a fully fleshed power turret and give it its own model

[timid crane]

I tried btb heavy’s once and then I tried for another game the other day and just couldn’t load in at all

[bronze breach]

Btb heavy is what btb should be tbh

[timid crane]

Turns your spartan into the borderline lore accurate prototype suit

[jaunty yoke]

Most Halo fans always wanted to use the Hunters' gun for so many years and it was awesome that Halo 5 finally allowed it, it's a shame it didn't come back for Infinite

[timid crane]

Agreed

[livid nova]

Shame a lot of things in 5 didn't come back in Infinite

[bronze breach]

Maybe it will return for a warzone esq mode

[timid crane]

One thing I thoroughly enjoy is the fact that in Mcc reach if you have the bandana skull on you can mount hunters when you break they’re back off and stick a grenade in them and it’s such a cool thing

[jaunty yoke]

Really cool

[timid crane]

I wish it was officially implemented into most halo games

[jaunty yoke]

I see why Bungie removed it from the final game tho, it might have made Hunter fights too easy

[timid crane]

Yeah but then you just balance it by only allowing it to happen once before the hunters like reconfigure or something to make it impossible to do it

[livid nova]

Infinite's hunters don't feel fun to fight

[timid crane]

I feel like that would balance it and if your smart and fast enough that planted grenade could do a good chunk of damage to weaken it

[bronze breach]

Cuz you really just fighting worms.

[timid crane]

Make the hunters into little pesdo boss fights

[timid crane]

Factual content….but still its a cool idea

[jaunty yoke]

It's a problem since Halo 3, Hunters have never been properly balanced, in Reach they are too strong, in Halo 4 they are too weak, in Halo 5 they are broken, and in Infinite they are a fair challenge but not perfect

[timid crane]

Hunters are such a cool enemy type and enemy concept

[bronze breach]

Maybe 5 hunters disassemble themselves to make a big super hunter?

[livid nova]

Goliath

[bronze breach]

Yes

[livid nova]

Like the ones from Halo Wars 2

[timid crane]

That would be sick, or if you have 2 sets of bond brothers and one of the sets loses a bond brother the third hunter form up with the first set

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 2 is probably the best we've seen Hunters but with two limitations
First is that they only have one firing mode, the beam, which is kinda easy to avoid
And second is that due to the spaghetti programming of Halo 2, melee attacks don't do damage to them, you always need weapons and grenades to kill them

[cedar turret]

I let the deer kill the hunters personally. They’re much better at dodging plasma weapons than I am.

[pulsar cobalt]

The most thing i wanted is career progression and its coming in season 4 i'm excited so bad

[timid crane]

@faint mantle you could’ve told me the Jedi survivor is brutal with the execution of the one character on first mission on coruscant lol

[faint mantle]

Uh

[bronze breach]

The only reward for career progrssion will probably be the title.

[faint mantle]

I don't have that game.

[bronze breach]

[pulsar cobalt]

did you just tag a mod haha

[faint mantle]

I couldn't care less about pings

[pulsar cobalt]

oh you don't ?

[bronze breach]

._.

[frozen inlet]

y

[pulsar cobalt]

343 should make the unreleased yoroi bundle buyable

[faint mantle]

I have the bell on, but the mod emoji takes priority

[vital cave]

Hey, for HI is there a way to lower the max ammo cap on weapons

[faint mantle]

An alternative is to set it at the nickname, but honestly, it's too much just to say I'm okay with pings, a regular part of Discord conversation.

[vital cave]

game mode settings or scripting I assume?

[faint mantle]

On Forge you can

[bronze breach]

Shame Gears 5 forge didnt work out as intended

Tried to copy halo

[vital cave]

@faint mantle Alright, thanks for the info

[timid crane]

I messed up I tagged the wrong person 🤦‍♂️ my bad homie

[timid crane]

@forest lagoon this was meant for you lmaoooo

[forest lagoon]

Yeah but we're like the same person so it counts

[obsidian wyvern]

how did u mix that one up lol

[bronze breach]

Had a lotus biscoff krispy creme doughnut at work today. Man that was nice

Best doughnut ever

[timid crane]

Fair

[timid crane]

Ughhhh don’t talk about work my shift starts in 4 hours

[cedar turret]

Another lotus eater? I thought I got off that island?

[bronze breach]

[timid crane]

It was all an illusion, you never left

[bronze breach]

I get Krispy creme doughnuts for free. I have only 1 per shift cuz I dont want to get fat from doughnuts lol

[rare cedar]

Reminds me of Shutter Island

[timid crane]

Don’t you dare bring up the forbidden isle while I’m awake…..please mr. panda

[rare cedar]

[faint mantle]

TIL I can draw

[cedar turret]

Ithaca awaits

[timid crane]

I’m terrified

There’s a lot of staff talking rn

[bronze breach]

Wait merty. If dozens have no ping role and has the mod emoji. Why dont you have the ping role yourself. You didnt select it did you? 👍

#exposed

[near tree]

[viral dune]

Wait.. it's discord's birthday?

[floral pollen]

Yes

[obsidian wyvern]

icky really has been off the grid

[bronze breach]

Also is it safe to do 343 stage on discord. I mean I think discord now records everything as they removed something from their TOS

[obsidian wyvern]

[viral dune]

Somewhat

[bronze breach]

I showed like back in March
