general-chat

[dry kelp]

Lol

[rare cedar]

They upped the amount of xp you get per game

[dry kelp]

I did notice that

[mellow arch]

Did they?

[arctic creek]

For normal difficulties, yes

And multiplayer

[rare cedar]

This is what I’m saying - they made changes since S1

[dry kelp]

For me all I gotta do is slap an XP boost and I level up very quick

[timid crane]

Hear me out

[arctic creek]

LASO should not change… if anything, it should get harder

[dry kelp]

no thank you

[arctic creek]

Bro why is there a CSGO emoji in here lol

[dry kelp]

Lol

[keen meadow]

the fact they want people to pay money for cosmetics ive already earned in 3 other halos is ignorant

[rare cedar]

You just said you can’t survive on Normal

[floral pollen]

Bandit, Shroud Screen, new maps, and prolly a lot else

[timid crane]

Complain more please it fuels me

[dry kelp]

My issue with the bandit is the bloom and recoil. Maybe add a sight

[keen meadow]

they did but its still garbage

[arctic creek]

My icon on infinite has been the ilovebees logo since day one

[timid crane]

Then it would just be a dmr

[dry kelp]

Which is what I want

[floral pollen]

Honestly, up your sens on the 1.4x scope, and zoom in when firing
Honestly makes it a lot better

[timid crane]

I don’t think it would fit the sandbox

[timid crane]

What you talking bout

[arctic creek]

[timid crane]

Btw there’s a typo in your bio

[dry kelp]

I'd also like some sorta Halo 5 style armor class. I liked the old look

[storm blaze]

Yo I normally don't comment on things like this unless it's to critique companies exploiting communities, but the pride logo here is kinda fire for once

[arctic creek]

Literally called CSGOSkull

[dry kelp]

Where at?

[real hemlock]

YESSSS

[timid crane]

“I’ll all be over soon”

[dry kelp]

Thanks.. lol

[timid crane]

Welcome mane

[dry kelp]

I'm glad someone agrees lol

[real hemlock]

i love the reclaimer series armor

[mellow arch]

I love this game so much, I just want it to be good and all the BS of modern massive game companies just infects everything and it's so sad

[real hemlock]

prolly my fav chief look

[near gulch]

Switch to Playstation 5 two days ago, My Xbox series X crashes too much and is broken, Cant even play Halo, and Halo Infinite has been ruined by Leftoids. What do we do.. ?

[real hemlock]

especially with the cloak

[dry kelp]

The helioskrill armor back too. Or some sorta rare armor for legendary completion

[rare cedar]

I have a pretty good art piece with him and his cloak

[real hemlock]

ill take Fotus

it was such a good look for him

[rare cedar]

Do you wanna see it

[real hemlock]

YES

[dry kelp]

I liked what Halo 5 did with some mythic armors. Gotta do a special challenge got the armor set

[storm blaze]

We really need a good joke armor core

[mellow arch]

The joke would be that you could unlock everything for the armor core without paying for it, just in game grind

[floral pollen]

Have you bore witness to Aegisfate's Clownmera?

[dry kelp]

Reminds me of the Halo 5 achievement art style

[real hemlock]

that is beautiful

[storm blaze]

Bro sneezed while typing

[dry kelp]

Honestly not a bad armor. It's a decent starting armor

[rare cedar]

Cause it is lol. It’s the achievement art for beating the game on legendary

[dry kelp]

I knew it seemed familiar

[floral pollen]

I did not
The Clownmera is a work of blursed art

[mellow arch]

yall are paid bots

[storm blaze]

Lmao what

[calm fiber]

no u

[dry kelp]

I'm just not negative torward 343

[floral pollen]

Ah, hello there Iratus

[real hemlock]

XD thank you iratus

[mellow arch]

I am not negative either, I am constructive

[dry kelp]

You gotta say his name like he does. The mighty IRATUS!!!

[storm blaze]

Bros whining more than a skyrim npc and he calls us bots

[calm fiber]

Hello, humans.

[floral pollen]

The Brutes doing well?

[dry kelp]

...... about that

[real hemlock]

lmao

[dry kelp]

They turned Doisac into Alderan

[calm fiber]

Yes. The grunts will not shut up about some.. food nipple?

[real hemlock]

[dry kelp]

[real hemlock]

agreed

[storm blaze]

He mascotted for some NFT project but it didn't go well

[floral pollen]

The clownmera for those unaware
I believe it has been updated though

[dry kelp]

I can appreciate some of the work 343 puts into Halo. Infinite was a set back but it doesn't help without much community support

[rare cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-haverford-ive-looked-at-this-gif-9647862

[floral pollen]

Hmm, definitely odd

[real hemlock]

yeah some of the bungie erra games were good but 343 erra games are good too.. i feel like people get stuck in nostalgia mode when they think of halo and then hate the new stuff for being new

[dry kelp]

That's what I think

[storm blaze]

343i has its problems, but I always thought that they at least had a level of sincerity that most other studios don't have, so I'm always hoping they succeed.

[mellow arch]

I appreciate all the work 343 has done. All I am saying is that they would probably receive more support and attention if they trail blazed a new way of doing things and stop following the season pass cash cow mentality.

[floral pollen]

I'd ask Aegis for a more recent image of the clownmera, but don't want to disturb him

[dry kelp]

I do think they should've waited to announce Halo Infinite before actually releasing it and I feel we can show a little more support

[real hemlock]

yeah it would be nice but for most of the games i played recently they all seem to rely on money and in game purchases so i cant get mad at them for wanting to do it too

Cough cough destiny

[storm blaze]

I mean 343 kind of fixed the problem with battle passes. They don't put you on a time limit, and you can still get some decent stuff from the free pass.

[dry kelp]

Halo 5 was a meh with the micro transactions but it wasn't excessive. You can either buy them or earn them. Now you gotta buy them more

[dry kelp]

Especially during events

[tardy hare]

ayooo my mother’s getting me a pc what should I ask for bleh 😛

[mellow arch]

It just takes so long for the average person is my point, you are not wrong though

[real hemlock]

yeah i loved how they did the battle passes.. i can do them at my own pace. and not feel like i have to make time out of my day to get it done or i loose out on cool stuff

even tho i did completye season 3 in like 3 days XD

[storm blaze]

But that's okay because you have all the time in the world to finish them. Unlike Fortnite, the inventor of the concept, that only gives you like a few months then poof.

[dry kelp]

I do think they should put at least 1,000 cred in the battle pass so you can buy the next one after buying 1 pass

[real hemlock]

i think they did do that

[dry kelp]

Like how every other BP does

[floral pollen]

They do
Only S1 doesn't

[dry kelp]

I know they put creds in there I just don't know how much

[floral pollen]

1k

[dry kelp]

That's good at least

[storm blaze]

I think 500 credits is reasonable so they can still make a good profit

[dry kelp]

Buy 1 you can buy another after completing it

[real hemlock]

thats if you dont spend it on cool cosmetics XD

[dry kelp]

Lol yea

[real hemlock]

cause the temptation is real

[floral pollen]

I want to try and acquire more CR for S4, since I have 0 again

[dry kelp]

But that's optional. There's sometimes a cool item in the store

[mellow arch]

Okay, you got me there. As long as the content is always obtainable

[real hemlock]

oh it would be cool if the ultimate challenge gave you a bit of credits

[floral pollen]

I want to have enough to get a few cosmetics I want, as well sa the S4 pass

[storm blaze]

I wonder what the next armor core will be

[dry kelp]

343 has definitely tried to level it out more. Less spending if you choose that way

[floral pollen]

I really would, I'd like that personally

[rare cedar]

Hazmat

[floral pollen]

In S4 its Hazmat, and we dunno past that

[dry kelp]

As I said, I really hope for a Halo 4 or 5 armor core

[storm blaze]

Oh crap the base color is gonna be bright yellow then, won't it

[floral pollen]

Might just default to Cadet Yellow

[dry kelp]

I think they should keep the color pallet design but let us customize each section

[real hemlock]

i have a feeling one of the seasons might have a similar one

[dry kelp]

That is what I thought Chimera was at first

It looked like Tanaka in a way

[real hemlock]

chimera does give off that vibes

[dry kelp]

Only it has different lore

[floral pollen]

You mean Tatanka?

[dry kelp]

What would we even call the Halo 5 era armor? Back then it was Mark 4, 5, 6 and 7 but they didn't really say

[dry kelp]

Her name was Holly Tanaka

[storm blaze]

Tachanka?

[dry kelp]

She was the white armor girl on Lockes team

The nobody/filler of the team basically

[floral pollen]

Ah, Ight
Just looked similar so I didn't know if it was a mistake

[real hemlock]

also does anyone know how to get inheritor role... i want to show off my halo collection

[storm blaze]

If I remember right it was Mjolnir GEN2, as well as Artemis for the sleeker armor sets.

[floral pollen]

I should hop off for the night, bc my battery is dying, but I'll cya guys later!

[dry kelp]

Cya

[real hemlock]

seeya nice talking to ya!

[dry kelp]

I do remember the Artimis thing. Locke mentioned it

[storm blaze]

Yea, the corporate competitor to Mjolnir

[dry kelp]

Halo 5 armor seemed more flexible than older armors

Though also somewhat less armored

[real hemlock]

yeah was very sleek

[storm blaze]

I always hated that the shoulder pads instead covered the lower biceps, it looked weird

[dry kelp]

Yea I did notice that. I assume it was for better movement

[real hemlock]

prolly so they can raise their arms up easier

[storm blaze]

Idk because with how low it was, it'd clash with the gauntlets.

[dry kelp]

Yea. Especially with them now having thrusters and such

Locke was sliding and jumping all over Jul 'Mdama

[storm blaze]

I do miss the thrusters to be honest. I ended up being a beast with them in Halo 5.

[real hemlock]

ground slam was fun

[dry kelp]

It felt right. Chief always looked like he had thrusters on his back plate

[real hemlock]

or smashing through walls while screaming OH YEAHHH

[storm blaze]

Man Halo 5 swat was such a blast back in the day.

[dry kelp]

Lol

Some Halo 5 armors were definitely questionable though

wtf was going on with seeker lmao

[fickle drift]

https://youtu.be/etb48EO3oJQ

[storm blaze]

Ah christ

[fickle drift]

Best halo animation ive ever seen

[real hemlock]

there was a really good reach one that a fan made id have to see if i can find it

but ill have to watch that one

[fickle drift]

Please do

Why do fans make better stuff than developers smh

[storm blaze]

I still think it's funny that Halo basically had an armor set that's lore was it being made from random crap at RadioShack

[real hemlock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5_ynsjwd48&list=LL&index=12

[dry kelp]

The animal helmets lol

[real hemlock]

basically a epsiode of a show being 25 min long

[fickle drift]

This is one of the games ever

Oh yeah ive seen that he does amazing work as well

[dry kelp]

There was a super secret pig helmet in Halo 5 for people who's forge maps were featured in actual multiplayer

[storm blaze]

Still had some amazing armors though, I always loved the Athlon

[dry kelp]

Halo 5 had a wide selection of armors

I usually run around in Linda's armor

[real hemlock]

linda had a really cool looking armor

[storm blaze]

Linda's armor was the Hades armor right?

[dry kelp]

Argus

I don't really have a way to show

It was definitely unique though with all the attachments and weird visor

[storm blaze]

Ah OK, I always confused Linda and Kelly

[real hemlock]

i would post a pic of her jazwares figure but i cant post photos lol

[storm blaze]

I always liked Fred's armor because it was the closest you could get to Chief, lmao

[dry kelp]

The figure is her Legends design

I used Reaper for Chiefs armor set

[mellow arch]

Thats the rub, sorry to come bakc to complain, haha. You gotta pay for that

[dry kelp]

Fred armor was cool though too

[storm blaze]

Helioskrill was a really interesting concept, it just needed some visual adjustments

[real hemlock]

yeah.. i really liked his lok in the paramount show tho

look

[dry kelp]

Helioskrill was cool cause the way it used to be obtained

[storm blaze]

He wasn't in the Paramount show, those were OCs

[dry kelp]

It'd based of Arbiters armor

[real hemlock]

wait that wasnt fred

it looked exactly like his armor

just VERY beefy

[storm blaze]

No the guy you're thinking of was closer to EOD armor

[real hemlock]

hmm

[dry kelp]

Fred is trained with close quarters so it explains the beef

[tight remnant]

No?

[storm blaze]

For some reason they refused to use the actual Blue Team. But hey, that's what you get when you hire directors that proudly hate the games.

[tight remnant]

Every Spartan is trained in close quarters.

[real hemlock]

dang i got that messed up lol

[dry kelp]

Well I mean Fred's better at it

[tight remnant]

I think not using blue team was for the best.

[dry kelp]

It's the Silver timeline or something like that

[tight remnant]

Linda Gen 2

[storm blaze]

The show felt like a CW production, Paramount should actually be ashamed of themselves.

[dry kelp]

Yesss. That's her. I love Linda. (As in my favorite character way)

[real hemlock]

yeah her sniper variant was really cool as well

[dry kelp]

The Nornfang

[real hemlock]

yeah that

[tight remnant]

Here's a better image to share.

[dry kelp]

Kelly had a custom shotgun too

[storm blaze]

Man the weapon variants in Halo 5, I remember having a lot of fun with them

[real hemlock]

is that image from the comics?

[tight remnant]

Linda and Athos. Athos was in last week's Firewall story.

[dry kelp]

So many different choices

[storm blaze]

The explosive SAW was so cracked

[tight remnant]

Oathsworn

[dry kelp]

Gave you speed boost

[tight remnant]

Yes I miss halo 5's warzone and weapon sandbox, and vehicle sandbox.

[dry kelp]

I think slightly farther range too

Halo 5 is underrated imo

[tight remnant]

Blaze of glory is amazing though.

[storm blaze]

It's too bad Halo 5 had a campaign, because I still think it was one of the top 3 Halo MP's.

[dry kelp]

Blaze of Glory was tone of the scariest things to see in MP

[dry kelp]

I think Halo 5 campaign should've been a side story like ODST

[storm blaze]

I don't know what they were thinking with the deceptive marketing.

[tight remnant]

Halo 5's campaigns ideas weren't bad but their execution weren't stellar.

[dry kelp]

Yea the trailers and build up weren't great

But I was just happy for another Halo

[storm blaze]

The MP was just so much fun

[real hemlock]

idk the scene where he was walking through desert in a cloak was pretty cool XD

[dry kelp]

It was cool but didn't make much sense to the actual plot

[storm blaze]

Oh yea, the grand reveal that ended up having nothing to do with the game

[real hemlock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhTMIyhxJJc

yup lol

[dry kelp]

The cloak that didn't appear. Ever

[tight remnant]

That was a guardian.

[real hemlock]

dude if i had to buy it in halo 5 i would have done it in a heartbeat

[dry kelp]

That was about all that really mattered

[real hemlock]

the cloak i mean

[dry kelp]

Yea but everyone and their mom would've been using it

[storm blaze]

And the cracked visor

[dry kelp]

Yea but those are the only 2 things that mattered

[real hemlock]

yup but still cooooooll

or made it a legendary campaign unlock item

[storm blaze]

It could've been a new armor piece slot, for misc accessories

Cloaks, backpacks, hoods, etc.

[dry kelp]

Kinda like Juns rag thing

[storm blaze]

Like in MCC

[real hemlock]

oo you could get an odst backpack

[dry kelp]

Jorges backpack

[real hemlock]

or jorges ammo pack

lol

[dry kelp]

Carters pack he had on his back plate

Maybe a secret knife

That did always bother me how the Halo 5 Spartan just kinda pulls the knife from no where

It spawns from the wrist when 90% of the armors don't even have a knife on the set

[real hemlock]

they willed the knife into existence XD

[tight remnant]

It's stored in the bracer.

[dry kelp]

That's how Spartans roll. We just spawn the knife

[storm blaze]

A grunt riding your back like Yoda

[candid solar]

I do think the bracer's a weird spot to hide a knife. But I guess it worked for R6 Seige.

[real hemlock]

LMAO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT

[candid solar]

... Though that was just a straight up dagger, so.

[tight remnant]

Fast access.

[real hemlock]

and all he talks about is food nipples

[candid solar]

I mean, there's a lot of (better) places for fast access tbf

[dry kelp]

With the new armor abilities we can get some cool assassinations like what Titanfall did

[storm blaze]

Think Hunter from Star Wars

[candid solar]

I'm aware.

It's just a weird place to put a knife to me.

[dry kelp]

Assassins Creed hidden blade

[candid solar]

And people say Palmer isn't that good.

[dry kelp]

Palmers voice is annoying

[candid solar]

Lady just threw a knife through plate, techsuit, bones and meat, techsuit, and plate.

[storm blaze]

Clones in star wars fight like boxers, so since the hands are so close Hunter's hand is always inches away from his knife, so I always figured it was for that kind of stance.

[candid solar]

Stop projecting.

Alternatively, how do you feel about Femshep?

[dry kelp]

Her flying that pelican in Halo 5 was cool though

[dry kelp]

Remind me what that is

[storm blaze]

The better shepard voice imo. Broshep is funnier, but Femshep has better emotional range.

[candid solar]

Mass Effect main character.

[dry kelp]

Ah. I never got into Mass Effect

[candid solar]

Same VA, same line delivery.

[storm blaze]

Ik

[storm blaze]

It's like Halo but so much more depressing

[candid solar]

Weird that Jennifer Hale being Palmer's VA never seems to click for people.

Because she's in a lot.

She straight up voices an agent trying to kill a FNAF expy lmao

(Regular Show)

[storm blaze]

What marvel/dc character did she voice

[tight remnant]

Hard light shield!

[real hemlock]

idk why but that panel reminds me of when i think linda smashes a grunt with a ghost lol

[candid solar]

About 20 characters.

[dry kelp]

Hard light shield was cool

[real hemlock]

yeah i was never good with it

[candid solar]

Screaming Mimi, Spider Woman, Ghost, Mary Jane, Ms.Marvel, F.R.I.D.A.Y., Lilith, like a dozen and some change others in Marvel

[real hemlock]

always used the little turrent

[candid solar]

Jennifer Hale also voiced about 20 odd characters in DC.

[dry kelp]

Promethean vision was cool too. See things through walls and invisible guys

[tight remnant]

One of the best uses.

I used the autosentry as well

[candid solar]

Street Viper on Rakshasa was designed to emulate Promethean Vision at all times.

[storm blaze]

Bro I looked up arkham city because I thought she was in it, but tell me why Batman's two love interests and mother are voiced by the same woman

[real hemlock]

it was my little buddy XD

[candid solar]

It's part of the reason the Created wanted to kill every Spartan that had it.

[dry kelp]

Amazing game.

[tight remnant]

Mirage IIC.

[candid solar]

Even I make mistakes sometimes.

So humble.

[storm blaze]

Bar none, are you the most humble-est

[tight remnant]

One of the chest has two regeneration fields.

[candid solar]

The Mr.Bones Chest for Mark VII.

[tight remnant]

Mr. Bones has two disposable versions.

[candid solar]

I always did kinda wonder how regen fields worked.

[fickle drift]

I forgot this discord existed....hello 👋

[dry kelp]

celery

[candid solar]

Like, do they reknit flesh and heal bone right? Would my bones need to get reset due to getting healed over?

Because unlike the Bloodfuel weapons, this kind of... Isn't that.

[tight remnant]

Regeneration fields are for shields.

[fickle drift]

So how do you explain health regen

Like for 5 and infinite

[real hemlock]

you built different

[fickle drift]

I know reach and CE have the health thing

[candid solar]

All other games except ODST basically handwave it as your armor healing you automatically.

[fickle drift]

So how would that work

[dry kelp]

it just do

[candid solar]

Through autoinjected biofoam, drug cocktails, blood transfusions etc etc

[fickle drift]

But how

[dry kelp]

Master Chief tells death no and it backs away

[fickle drift]

Hm

[candid solar]

Spartans are simultaneously more and less durable in the games than the books.

[dry kelp]

Cryo stasis also helps doesn't it?

[candid solar]

Only for long term injuries. Not battlefield survival.

[dry kelp]

Cause I remember in one of the books Linda was almost killed and she was put in cryo for a little

[candid solar]

The armor is very, very good at actually keeping a Spartan alive and fighting. Spartans also heal naturally very fast, to the point of shrugging off a major concussion within 48 hours with no rest.

Or regenerating organs that were effectively shredded to pieces within a month, passed out in a ditch, and waking up ready to fight.

The plating itself usually would keep it from getting that far.

[tight remnant]

Biofoam injectors, medigel, all of that.

[tight remnant]

She was preserved and ressucitated shortly after.

[candid solar]

I heard it got changed from a headshot to getting gutted by a sword, with the current position being both or something.

Personally, I never really thought the manner of injuries mattered that much, but one resuscitation makes more sense than the other.

[tight remnant]

For what? Linda?

[bold sparrow]

*Mirage

[bold sparrow]

Closer to over a week; she was declared dead after Gamma Station, placed into cryo aboard the Autumn, her pod was ejected into orbit around Instillation 04 due to standard procedures, the other two people in her pod group died but she didn't, she was saved (while still in cryo) by Chief, then ressucetated by Dr Halsey using onboard medical stuff from the Gettysburg and then went on to fight and provide sniper cover during Operation First Strike.

Spartans are very, VERY hard to kill

[dry kelp]

As long as you ignore Reach, yes

[bold sparrow]

There's hard to kill.
And then there's facing the barrel of The Fleet of Particular Justice.

Attrition and odds fell all.

[tight remnant]

?

[dry kelp]

Cause Noble Team is dead

[feral galleon]

Hi

[dry kelp]

[feral galleon]

[bold sparrow]

Much of Reach's oddities can be applied to Bungie merely wanting to be done with the series and disagreements between existing external lore and their "headcanons" of what the actual lore was.
Alongside internal strife around the storyline (see the extensive and only recently properly patched inconsitencies around Reach)

[wind finch]

no more pride month

only jurassic june

[carmine magnet]

Does anyone know which drops will be available this weekend and what channels you have to watch to get certain drops?

[tight remnant]

Co-streamers for assault rifle. I think sidekick tomorrow

[pearl laurel]

Tea Rex

[timid crane]

Quick question

I just beat all of halo 3 odst on legendary and when I go through each mission it says “completed on legendary” in game but on halo waypoint I says I’m missing oni alpha sight on legendary….does that mean I need to go back and do that again on legendary or do I just wait for it to fix itself

[limpid mesa]

Just redownloaded mcc how long is halo reach matchmaking again?

[zinc hatch]

I think that happened to me before. I think I redid the mission

[kind token]

I consider my self good at halo, and yet I still fear legendary difficulty.

[amber shore]

it’s gaelo time babyyyy

Lesgooooo

[scarlet loom]

fear is above, legendary is potato

[spring comet]

guyysss i ordered the halo infinite xbox

[spring comet]

yep that one

[steady jolt]

Such a nice console

[spring comet]

thanks!

[steady jolt]

I have it too 😄

[spring comet]

it will arrive tomorrow

[steady jolt]

Awesome!

[spring comet]

my collection is done now

[fickle drift]

That is beautiful

have a great day everyone

[spring comet]

Its not actually me

Im not a girl

[tropic scroll]

Does the progression system: related to weapons, give you a fighting advantage over someone who basically starting new and fresh?

[obsidian wyvern]

no

you can't upgrade weapons in this game

[tropic scroll]

cosmetic only then?

upgrades

[obsidian wyvern]

we don't know if there will be cosmetics, but probably

it's really just showing off how much you played

[near tree]

More bragging rights

[obsidian wyvern]

yep

[near tree]

Unless you mean the battle pass, that's cosmetic

[obsidian wyvern]

I have a feeling we'll get cosmetics from this

we'll find out today

[tropic scroll]

thanks for the replies

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't realise we were gonna see new equipment this season until a few hrs ago

[tropic scroll]

wish we could save maps in forge that are already released by 343 industries

and play solo

[regal chasm]

I guess if you get a really good looking coating, you might feel more confident with a weapon and get more kill.

[obsidian wyvern]

the cat ears are known to boost your kills per match by 150%

[untold ferry]

hey where can i get some actual consistant comp matches in h3 mcc

[obsidian wyvern]

you can't

[untold ferry]

😔

[pulsar heron]

you could always party up with people using the lfg channels here

[untold ferry]

im tryin

no ones responding lol

[hardy bane]

Ok

[shell plinth]

does anyone know when the 2x XP weekend for Infinite starts?

[sonic bolt]

hello halo

[fierce steppe]

Hate to say it but man halo is dead or on life support at this point with how 343 keeps messing up their priorities

[steady jolt]

Not dead and not on life support

[fierce steppe]

Nah mate, it’s objectively dying. They’ve basically cancelled future campaign content, joe left before he could make any positive impact on 343

The franchise is dying and this toxic positivity isn’t helping

[steady jolt]

ok

[fierce steppe]

Pretty much every notable halo YouTuber has made a “I’m done with halo” video since infinite came out

That’s not just people throwing buddy fits over nothing

[steady jolt]

ok

[fierce steppe]

So you clearly don’t have any proper evidence to back up your statement then other than “ok”

[runic panther]

I think if you looked at player numbers to previous titles at this time from release date. My guess would be Infinite suffered the biggest loss. But I could be wrong.

[winter flame]

they say they're done with halo and then they keep doing halo videos

bit of a weak point innit

campaign situation is bleak tho

[fossil skiff]

Mfw clicks to generate revenue so I make clickbait titles

[bronze breach]

How can an IP be dead when it was never alive. Man keep saying it's not a person..

[fickle drift]

New rgb pfp? Noice

[untold ferry]

plus with bunjis new game, a lot of halo players will proly move to that

[winter flame]

Halo never dies, its just MIA

[fickle drift]

Shut yo mouth if you think halo is dead or dying.

[runic panther]

The community died with Reach

[azure sandal]

Halo fans are in denial that their franchise is doing fine lmfao. Every franchise goes through highs and lows, we’re climbing out of a low now.

[fickle drift]

Facts

[untold ferry]

yeah, look at cod, they had like three bad games in a row, then pulled out of it

and made

average games

[fickle drift]

Pierre will bring this franchise to highs.

[azure sandal]

Just because you don’t like the modern output, doesn’t mean it’s bad, nor does it mean it’s dying. This is the same thing that happens to something like Star Wars. Star Wars sequel trilogy was a rough time in that community but as of recent things have picked up with additions like Mando. Halo will be fine, and Infinite is doing just fine right now. Steam numbers mean nothing on a 3-platform game.

[winter flame]

im still a tiny bit hopeful they will do a dlc during Infinite's cycle. I think that's the only way we're not waiting a long time for a continuation of the story

[fossil skiff]

I would settle for an ingame cutscene at this point

[bronze breach]

We got 8/9 years worth of infinite. It will happen at some point.

[fickle drift]

Daily reminder that books are still there to enjoy if the games cant satisfy you.

[bronze breach]

They also cut 2/3 of the game during development which may be repurposed as dlc in future

[untold ferry]

i mean look at h4, ppl thought it was terrible when it came out, but now its getting some of the love it deserved

[azure sandal]

Nah, we don’t. That 10 year plan nonsense isn’t happening either. It’s simply a rough time for halo, but in the end infinite has been successful financially and will continue development until 343 has something else to show

Which will take some years, infinite took 6, so it could be longer for all we know

[steady jolt]

Ok

[bronze breach]

They said infinite is the next 10 years of halo, they haven't confirmed that they have backtracked on that.

[fickle drift]

It wasnt terrible aside from promethean bullet sponges and running out of ammo stuff. Its forge and campaign story was excellent (aside from didacts end)

[azure sandal]

They said that before leadership changed….twice. Lol

[untold ferry]

and you cant go past the fact that it looked gorgeous and ran on just abt anything

[azure sandal]

Halo 4 is a great game

[fickle drift]

Yep. I recently discovered that it's forge is gorgeous.

[winter flame]

it actually runs far worse on my PC then Infinite does lol

[fickle drift]

Its a reach copy but i prefer this than full on greyish look

[azure sandal]

The lighting is just bad in MP as a whole haha, but you can make it gorgeous and some maps looked amazing

[fickle drift]

halo goated

[azure sandal]

Lighting is usually the big downfall of halo’s graphics post-reach tbh

[untold ferry]

it got so much hate from ppl cause it was 343's first game when it is easily the best halo content they have made

[bronze breach]

People dont like an emotional chief. They want cyborg chief thats why h4 was probably hated lmao

[azure sandal]

I think halo 4 is a better middle ground between modern shooters and halo (not counting infinite, which is trying to lean more classic)

[fierce steppe]

They literally just announced that they’re not even considering any campaign DLC at this point

[fickle drift]

As long as halo 2,(story) 4 (forge and story) odst (campaign) and reach (forge) exist. Then i will never stop playing this game.

[untold ferry]

yet look at h1 chief

[winter flame]

I dont think my opinion on 4 has really changed. I think 5 was a huge step up in most ways besides story and Reach honestly has aged better visually for me. I just think they should have stuck with 4's story, not that it was amazing

[azure sandal]

So? That just means they can focus on a new campaign.

[fierce steppe]

No, it means they’re only focused on the multiplayer

[azure sandal]

We don’t know what they’re working on and we can’t act like we know what they’re working on

[fickle drift]

Agree but sadly brian reed was hired.

[fierce steppe]

They literally announced it publicly

[fickle drift]

For halo 5

[azure sandal]

Game concepts take years to come to fruition. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they’re already brainstorming the next project.

[untold ferry]

h5 was too much of a modern shooter for me, it wasnt halo, it felt like cod with shields and halo weapons and vehicals but i dont judge ppl for loving it

[winter flame]

basically word for word what i think of halo 4 lol

[azure sandal]

Brainstorming doesn’t necessarily mean they’re making a new game, and once again, it takes years for those to go into fruition. Real game development would start a long while from now

[fickle drift]

I wish they add 5 on mcc. I know its terrible but i just wanna try pc for it.

[azure sandal]

Halo Infinite has concepts from all the way back in 2017-2018

When Halo 5 was still being updated

[untold ferry]

i suppose, but h4 covanent combat felt classic still whereas h5 felt cod,y thru the whole thing

[fickle drift]

My criticism with 4 is the overdesign kf forerunner buildings. Mostly inside requiem.

The outside was gorgeous

[untold ferry]

but honestly, i enjoy halo infinite, im not looking at it from the perspectives of the other games, i just want a fun game to play with friends, and no matter what halo you pick, whether its campain or multiplayer, halo has that, it is always, and always will be fun

ty for coming to my ted talk

[fickle drift]

No probs

[winter flame]

If they actively support it long enough I could see Infinite being the most successful Halo game since 3

[untold ferry]

hands down, its boring on its own, but amazing with people

[thorny glen]

assuming you're talking about me, what was any of this about?

[fickle drift]

https://youtu.be/Qo_yAh-PQ1E

Best track

Breaking the covenant

[winter flame]

I genuinely cant remember now, I managed to get unintentionally banned tho 🤣

[fickle drift]

from?

[untold ferry]

that better be h2 mjolnir

[thorny glen]

Idk what halo youtubers saying they're done with Halo has to deal with Halo dying

[untold ferry]

yeah its normmaly them hating on new contant

[fickle drift]

HALO and COD are both dying ngl

[thorny glen]

that's correct, Infinite has suffered the biggest loss but Idk what any of that has to deal with Halo dying as a brand.

[untold ferry]

baha my friend, cod, will never die, its too damn big

it has hit the point where i dont think its even possible

[pulsar cobalt]

Cod fans are sick of the yearly releases

[thorny glen]

afaik anything campaign related is an assumption/not confirmed until 343i says it is

Last I checked 343i basically said they'd keep making future Halo campaigns/storys back in Jan., did they not?

[fickle drift]

have you heard where alot of ppl are getting hacked and their accs banned....

[fierce steppe]

So the fact they all said “I can’t be bothered with 343 at this point” around the same time doesn’t sound weird to you?

[steady jolt]

They did

[fierce steppe]

Continue epic stories? I didn’t realise they’d already made any

[azure sandal]

Mine is the promethean balancing as a whole, I didn’t find them very fun to fight. The covies were kinda dumb too

[untold ferry]

h4

[winter flame]

i just mean it seems like we're gonna be waiting a good while. i dont really have any doubt there will be another halo campaign

[untold ferry]

they were fun until they tp'd

[fierce steppe]

Literally like 2 cutscenes in that game were cool and the rest was mid and no fun to play

[azure sandal]

Halo fans when they find out they can stop keeping up with a franchise that doesn’t interest them anymore 💀

[thorny glen]

No, that's peoples opinions, not 343i or Halo related.

[fickle drift]

Halo 5 was the worst halo ngl

[untold ferry]

you can have your opinions even if they are kinda wrong

[thorny glen]

I disagree

[winter flame]

🍿

[fickle drift]

why?

[untold ferry]

oh lord, here we go

[thorny glen]

Halo 5's MP is A+ in the Halo series, that's why.
shouldn't have to explain it any further then that 😎

[azure sandal]

This is exactly the problem in the halo community. Everyone’s opinion is fact, and everyone else’s is wrong. Nobody can agree on anything and it’s always “THIS IS BETTER!!!! YOURS IS WORSE!!!!”

[fierce steppe]

I really shouldn’t have to explain this to you but here I go

If people all say “I’m sick of this now” around the same time, that’s not a coincidence.
There’s a reason people said “I hate Star Wars now” after the sequel trilogy. It wasn’t because they all randomly stopped liking Star Wars, it was because they hated what had been done to the franchise

[azure sandal]

That being said, reach is the worst halo

[fickle drift]

I was just asking why he felt that way

[azure sandal]

So then move on

💀

[winter flame]

reach is objectively the best Halo 😈

[fierce steppe]

No, because I actually like halo and want it to improve. But me just sticking my fingers in my ears and saying “lalala it’s still good lalala” isn’t gonna make the game magically not garbage again

[azure sandal]

What’s the purpose of wasting your energy on something that isn’t going the way you like? There’s other things you can keep up with. Halo isn’t changing for people who are just stuck in the past, it’s changing for the people that enjoy what it is now. Grow up

[thorny glen]

If it's not officially said from 343i themselves, then it's unconfirmed. If you dislike this, move on. Play something else lol
A niche loud vocal minority might all dislike the new Star Wars sequels but that doesn't mean Star Wars is going to stop being made tomorrow, it's still profitable and still makes an absolute ton of money. Why stop?

[azure sandal]

the one time I agree with nighterlev

[steady jolt]

Then instead of crying about "Halo dying" why not leave some actual constructive criticism in #1039633978841374720 ?

[runic panther]

I think it shows a big resurgence in players corresponding with a huge decline. This tells me that a lot of players had hope for the game. But ultimately it didn’t live up to its glory days so they quickly disappeared. An inclination of a dying franchise.

[queen remnant]

''I'm done with Halo!!!!''
Continues to do more Halo content after seeing his viewers and subs going down

[fierce steppe]

This place is the definition of toxic positivity. Can’t say anything critical without being told “don’t talk about it you don’t like it”
It’s such a childish and black & white mentality

[steady jolt]

You can be negative while still being constructive

[azure sandal]

That’s not what we’re saying at all though. You’re not bringing any criticism, all you’re saying is “it’s garbage!! It’s garbage!!!”

[pulsar cobalt]

Nothing to do with halo dying it was desync that mostly caused people to go in infinite

[round laurel]

I believe Infinite's initial popularity would indicate the opposite of a dying franchise. Being able to keep people playing is not the sign of a dying franchise, it's the sign of problematic retention mechanics (in my view).

[queen remnant]

Also the 6 months season that it kinda hurt

A lot basically

[runic panther]

And lack of content

[azure sandal]

Infinite was hurt by season 1 and 2 being too long. Simple as that

[queen remnant]

But hey, here we are with 3 months something season at least so we are getting there

[round laurel]

The 6 month seasons were horrible, I'm sorry.

[azure sandal]

If you recommend it to someone now, it’s a perfectly reasonable modern gaming experience. You can find matches very easily, as most playlists are well active (excluding ranked cause it’s not great at all)

[nocturne iron]

Xbox isn't letting me renew game pass help

[steady jolt]

Reach out to Xbox Support

[pulsar cobalt]

That also haha

[fickle drift]

halo 1+2 controls were a lil finicky
Halo 3 Flood
Halo 3 odst was confusing to get around
Halo 4 Prometheans would teleport so much
Halo 5 Movement was weird but was good, multiplayer was weird to me as I wasnt used to it
Halo infinite Takes so long to get anywhere

[azure sandal]

You know, yeah the old ones were better in my eyes. But they’re old. Halo 4 is over 10 years old now. We need to move on and rather than hound 343 for this game, give them real feedback to improve it. Or play something else until the next halo game is out, they aren’t gonna cancel Infinite because YOU don’t like it. Plenty of others have a great time.

[round laurel]

For a F2P game based on microtransactions for a large part of its income, releasing your game with barely a plan and 6 month seasons isn't a recipe for success. With that said, from the outside, I can understand the difficulty the team were facing with the development of this game and I'm aware not everything is released perfectly. But Infinite came out with a bang then slowly went to obscurity with a lack of updates.

[runic panther]

Problematic retention mechanics is a sure sign of a dying game.
Originally I was talking about I finite not so much about the franchise although one could lead to the other if not managed properly.

[thorny glen]

@runic panther
I dislike Infinite and by all means want them to just continue on with a new Halo game instead, but I'm not gonna start pretending as if 343i is suddenly incapable or doesn't have the capacity to keep making Halo titles, campaigns/stories, multiplayer, and more.

[round laurel]

Apologies then, I was speaking more of a franchise standpoint. Yes, you're correct, that would be the sign of a dying product.

[azure sandal]

And it’s simple as, you don’t like it, don’t play it. The old games are still there, infinite is still there if you feel like checking out the new stuff

[fickle drift]

my problem with the halo games

[grizzled gazelle]

Is it too early to speculate on hypothetical Mjolnir Gen 4 armors, as its too early in the lore for the generation to be produced yet.

[dark nebula]

I'm getting so tired of playing team slayer just to avoid playing that damn oddball crap. They gotta be able to add a playlist that is just CTF or something

[azure sandal]

The constant complaining just gets nothing done and leads to confusing priorities for the games

[thorny glen]

I blame the retention issues on the gameplay personally. You can have the most amount of content in the world but if the gameplay is bad, no one's gonna stick around and keep playing it.

Works in the opposite way to. You can have the most refined, best gameplay in the world but the least amount of content, yet still keep a massive playerbase because of just how good the gameplay is. Battle Royals do this quite often, just look at PUBG, Apex, or Fortnite, they started out with a single map and stayed that way for years. Apex is the only one that even offered different character selection lol.

[dark nebula]

I guess I'm not the only one here to complain

[runic panther]

It’s a sign - buy games not subscriptions—- 😦

[azure sandal]

Nighter don’t start with this Lmao. Everyone says infinite plays good

It’s the server and content issues

[pulsar cobalt]

But Infinite gameplay is really solid so..

[fickle drift]

one thing I dislike about infinite is the grapple hook. it has like no range.....

[azure sandal]

I’ve not once see anyone complain about the core gameplay. Most of that comes after balance changes, like that terrible disruptor nerf that made the gun useless

[queen remnant]

It's not Halo 5 2, sorry everyone

[thorny glen]

probably to early yea lol

[azure sandal]

(Please reverse that 343 🙏 disruptor was my fav gun because nobody knew how to use it like me)

[fickle drift]

facts lol

[thorny glen]

"everyone says Infinite plays good"
No they definitely don't. Idk what you mean by "don't start with this" either. It's a perfectly valid outlook on how Infinite turned out.

[azure sandal]

It was always the pop and run, now it’s just a crappier needler

[azure sandal]

Yeah nah I ain’t wasting my energy on you buckaroo

[thorny glen]

Disruptor nerf is an absolute positive, not a negative wym

[azure sandal]

????

[thorny glen]

It actually helps Infinite's gameplay lol

[azure sandal]

The gun is terrible now, everything outclasses it

[thorny glen]

But it still has a long way to go

[azure sandal]

It’s completely useless

[thorny glen]

No? It has a faster fire rate and a quicker TTK now.

[pulsar cobalt]

It's rubbish

[thorny glen]

If it's useless now, then it was even more useless before without the quicker TTK

[pulsar cobalt]

The change was a complete waste of time

[thorny glen]

Which it was useless before, it's not now.

[azure sandal]

Quicker TTK? Hell no. The ttk was slower if you tried to use it without the DOT

[thorny glen]

The TTK is faster because of the faster rate of fire what are you on about

[pulsar cobalt]

It wasn't useless people just didn't pick it up and used it

[queen remnant]

They should make the disruptor like actually destroy your PC, give the shock weapons like that

[azure sandal]

The DOT was what got your kills. It was slow, but that’s the point. It’s the disruptor. It disrupts people’s shields and aiming and slowly drains their health

[thorny glen]

It was useless to anyone who picked it up and tried to use it before, now it's actually an effective weapon that can stand on it's own

[azure sandal]

You weren’t using it right lol

[pulsar cobalt]

It wasn't useless lmao

[azure sandal]

It wasn’t something you just blow the clip on

It was like 9 shots then run, their fate was sealed after you got the supercombine

[pulsar cobalt]

I was using it instead of the sidekick most of the time and shredding with it

[thorny glen]

The "damage over time" effect rarely if at all got you kills, and 343i knew it was a problem because of how weak the gun was.
It was also broken, so no, it didn't get you kills. The increased rate of fire gets you the kills.

[azure sandal]

?????

[thorny glen]

Then why is it suddenly much better now and gets me kills while before it never did?

[azure sandal]

I literally always got DOT kills with it

That’s how you were supposed to use it and that’s how it functioned

[pulsar cobalt]

Same

[azure sandal]

Hell, the calcine disruptor still has it

[pulsar cobalt]

And works perfectly lmao

[azure sandal]

You’re supposed to shoot them like twice with that one and they get their life drained quickly

[thorny glen]

Then it should be even more effective for you now lmao

[azure sandal]

It isn’t, the DOT was what made the gun useful in the first place. Now it’s just a worse needler

You need two supercombine a for a kill essentially

[thorny glen]

No, you were supposed to shoot people with it until they died. The DOT was meant to be an added benefit, a small one. Not the main point of the gun itself.

[azure sandal]

You weren’t using it right

[thorny glen]

I was using it correctly, wym?

[azure sandal]

💀

[haughty zodiac]

yoo i just finished s3 bp

and weekly

[azure sandal]

I’m willing to bet you also don’t know about the AOE

[thorny glen]

Since the new update I've probably gotten like 3 killing sprees with it, it's a very effective weapon now. That was nearly impossible before.

[haughty zodiac]

time to grind s2 bp

[azure sandal]

Stop lyyyyying

[pulsar cobalt]

It wasn't impossible

[steady jolt]

^ can we maybe move this conversation down to #halo-discussion

How am I lying

The gun is so pitiful I genuinely cannot believe that

[haughty zodiac]

Show me a clip, and I’ll believe you. Otherwise the gun is crap now

yes but twitch gives rewards

[obsidian wyvern]

I thought they also stream on yt

[rare cedar]

Do they?

[hexed geyser]

I guess i have to wait 'N' See

[runic panther]

It’s normally on you tube

[steady jolt]

What kind of channel?

[fickle drift]

Mod appreciation channel lol

[forest lagoon]

The sentiment sounds nice but ultimately a terrible idea

[tidal hatch]

How are you guys doing this weekly ult challenge, 5 games and it only gave it to me once, i feel like the requirements are too picky, i feel like if i take down enemy within 10s of swapping it should count

[winter flame]

Remember when we thought CE and 2 on MCC would never be restored to the original Xbox versions and they went and did it

[forest lagoon]

That's years in the QuickDraw world!

[tidal hatch]

i really hate this challenge lol, i dont really want the visor but it annoys me i cant finish it

[forest lagoon]

I believe in you!
I naturally get quick draws because I miss my AR shots but hit enough to at least break the shield so pistol swapping and going tactical slayer for a moment is my saving grace

[candid solar]

What bothers me is the visor I really want has never dropped in a bundle

That black and blue tron one

[forest lagoon]

That being said, I haven't done my challenges this week yet but I'm not stressing about them

[amber mirage]

I'm planning to do them today to grab that bonus exp while I do my challenges.

[forest lagoon]

I'm still debating if it's worth dropping credits solely for the Synthetic Dawn visor effect or if I should gamble and wait to see if it's released separately from the bundle

[steady jolt]

Amazing

[smoky token]

What’s been your strategy, exactly?

I got it in 3 games by popping shields with the AR, switching to pistol, and then headshotting

[pulsar cobalt]

If you really like that item skyfi why not haha

[forest lagoon]

Do I want to be able to admit I spent $12 on just a visor effect

[pulsar cobalt]

I've done it on some bundles purely just for 1 item

[winter flame]

Reach Combat Knife xd

wanna get the Mark 7 one too lol

[fossil skiff]

I did that for mark 7 knife and I feel no shame for doing so

[forest lagoon]

How much would a legendary stand alone effect be anyway? Around 500cr I would think?

Also I'm a little surprised it wasn't in the other effect bundle

[winter flame]

Spartans just look so much cooler with the knife

especially if you dont care for a chest peice

[pulsar cobalt]

I reckon effects should be standalone and cost 150-200 credits

[fossil skiff]

Yeah. Very practical too. How else am I gonna butter my bread in the field?

Actually I think they were using their knives in ghosts of onyx to spear fish

[winter flame]

gut and fillet rats, etc

[tidal hatch]

Well i just swapped to this doubled mode made it much easier to swap as soon as shield breaks so I dont keep getting wiped by other team mates

[forest lagoon]

The stance in the bundle is pretty neat too though. I could make some more hot OJ propaganda with it

[pulsar cobalt]

Just do it haha if you really want that item

[regal chasm]

Nothing wrong with treating yourself. get that visor.

[winter flame]

smart, the new maps are cool too

just me or do some of the doubles maps feel like they're be great for 4v4?

[forest lagoon]

I already have the credits from MS Rewards

Thanks y'all. I needed the peer pressure

[fossil skiff]

It’s free real estate effect

[forest lagoon]

Y'all da best

[winter flame]

i earn most MS rewards playing infinite so really i earned the points playing the game to then spend them in the game

[forest lagoon]

how do you earn points playing it?

[winter flame]

on PC you get them for "Playing a PC game with freinds"

[obsidian wyvern]

you get 200 for playing on pc

[winter flame]

"with friends" beign literally anyone in an online game

[obsidian wyvern]

if you have gamepass, you get 250

[thorny glen]

1 more hour until the HCS event

[pulsar cobalt]

Hurts when your friends stopped playing halo so I have to be solo

[forest lagoon]

Also, just putting this out there, I'm actually quite frustrated with the achievement a day being moved to the game pass quest thing... Now it's only for game pass games. The change happened right around Jedi Survivor and I got nothing for all of those achievements

[winter flame]

it doesnt require you lobby up, literally just be in an online match with other humans

[obsidian wyvern]

I still think it's any game, just need gamepass to claim

[forest lagoon]

Somehow I completely missed this! Time to log in later!

[forest lagoon]

It has to be a gamepass game to count

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I used to rinse this specific reward when it used to be 'play fortnite via xcloud'

[obsidian wyvern]

ah rip, yeah must've been recent too

[pulsar cobalt]

I didn't know that

[forest lagoon]

Where are these quests at? I don't recall seeing them anywhere

[obsidian wyvern]

???
he randomly sent
I denied
it still accepts

[obsidian wyvern]

Xbox app

[amber mirage]

I feel like it might be regional

[forest lagoon]

On PC?

[obsidian wyvern]

both phone and pc

[obsidian wyvern]

I know it used to be, but I thought they recently brought a lot more people into the program

[winter flame]

the benefit of this is that you can now claim using the mobile/PC app. Before you could only claim those points if you have an Xbox

[amber mirage]

I don't have a play on PC or play with friends quest so definitely seems regional.

[winter flame]

that is very unfortunate

[obsidian wyvern]

I also think it's linked to ISPs in a way, though there is no confirmation

[tidal hatch]

And done thanks for the the vote of confidence lol

[amber mirage]

My points balance weeps at the lost opportunities for more points

[winter flame]

its basically free in game credits for PC players in markets where its available. Honestly it's kinda unfair its a regional thing and PC only.

[obsidian wyvern]

as soon as I switched ISPs a while back, it disappeared, changed again and now it's back

[obsidian wyvern]

you still on 600k?

[amber mirage]

400-something

[obsidian wyvern]

what did you spend it on?

[faint mantle]

I get 293

[amber mirage]

$100 gift cards for a couple sales

[tidal hatch]

Anyone else doing the dailies for pts and getting their progress wiped, happend to be when i was at 893, and then again at 25 days feels like happening more often recently and im not missing them for sure

[obsidian wyvern]

that might be from the other quests put together

[obsidian wyvern]

sick, I wish I had enough self control to stack up for that long

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I was on 47 days and it just wouldn't let me do my set, so it got reset

[steady jolt]

For the play on 200point PC on, how does it work? Like do you need to complete an online match?

[winter flame]

I broke my like year long streak in the Xbox MS Rewards app. Kinda wasn't worth it anyway and I wasnt close to any streak bonus

[obsidian wyvern]

I complete a match but I don't think you have to, it usually just takes a while to pop up

[tidal hatch]

in my case i was complete im postive and it reset i messaged support they didnt do anything

[amber mirage]

My plan now is just have auto-redeem for 1 month of Game Pass, so I'll never run out, and save the rest. If there's a sale with a lot of stuff I want, redeem the gift cards.

[faint mantle]

Even Bot Bootcamp works. But you can't join a match in progress or else it won't count.

[tidal hatch]

I miss family sharing lol my brother used to do it for me and send me extra 5k points every month

[obsidian wyvern]

as long as there's people you're playing with, it'll work

[obsidian wyvern]

haha, everytime I was low on points I'd just take whatever from my dads account

[winter flame]

I dont boot up the game just to claim the points, imo its not that worth it. But its nice to get something when i do play Infinite that I can then use to buy "paid" content in the game

[obsidian wyvern]

currently on a 37 week streak on Xbox, I feel like I'm gonna slip up soon though

[forest lagoon]

Yeah, I don't see those options on my end. Iirc we had this conversation months ago and we determined it was a regional thing

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[steady jolt]

Does it work doing it via xcloud using the Xbox app?

[tidal hatch]

now i just have him gift me whatever he can form xbox but ofc it doesnt allow you to gift in game currency only full season passes etc shame

[winter flame]

just dont slip right before a 2000 point bonus lol, after one of those its probably worth letting it reset so you can get the smaller streaks

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I'm really close to one

[winter flame]

the streaks dont actually get better, they just take longer

[obsidian wyvern]

I would be at like 40 weeks rn, but they had a glitch which reset my streak and wouldn't go up for ab a month

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[winter flame]

good luck lol, best bet for the next few weeks is to set a reminder for the 3 days after reset each week so you dont have to stress

takes a minute each day so worth it to make sure u get the points

[obsidian wyvern]

also the 2k punch card is back

for some reason it automatically did my 2 weeks set instantly

[steady jolt]

Damn. Ah well, my surface isn't powerful enough to run installed games

[pearl laurel]

Hersheys

[winter flame]

weird, monthly 2ks are relatively easy to keep on top of thankfully

[obsidian wyvern]

you can install something like asphalt 9, just link your Xbox account and play one mp game

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah they've made it a lot easier now

actually Minecraft bedrock should work

and it's really well optimized

[wild sleet]

Y’all ever just stop killing in Multiplayer because you felt bad for flat lining the enemy team

[nimble relic]

no never

[humble quarry]

h

[obsidian wyvern]

thought that was someone else for a second

[merry thunder]

343

[steady jolt]

OOoh, it should be able to run asphalt

I'll try that

[obsidian wyvern]

the only thing is

if you haven't played before, you'll have to do like 30 mins of campaign to unlock mp

[merry thunder]

🇺🇸🇺🇸 oh say can u see

let’s go to florida guys who want to go?

[pearl laurel]

Immigration

[steady jolt]

Minnesota seems to be where it's at right now, they doing good things

[forest lagoon]

Not exactly, but if it's clearly skewed in our favor, I'll ease up a bit. If I notice they are playing like a complete n00b I'll slow down and try to give them a chance. Or play pop and peak. Which is me acting like a whack a mole.
Or if the teams are unbalanced because of people disconnecting so it's like a 2v4 (mainly in ranked) I'll do the nice thing and chill messing around somewhere. Or tbag dance with the enemy to see if they want to mess around with me as they surrender and my team gets the objectives/run the clock down.

Da Hub doesn't though. He goes full Cobra Kai no matter the situation

[merry thunder]

my jokes are uncanny

[forest lagoon]

That's an interesting way of spelling unfunny

[obsidian wyvern]

brutal

[merry thunder]

am i talking to myself?💀

[merry thunder]

yes star wars from the wet door

[obsidian wyvern]

half an hoourr

[merry thunder]

No

No.

[obsidian wyvern]

i have yours and i have mine
lol

[pulsar cobalt]

I wanna play diablo 4 so bad but i'm waiting for my friend haha to get on

Doing it with him

[obsidian wyvern]

ive never actually seen gameplay of diablo

dont even know what kind of game it is

[merry thunder]

yes

is this family friendly server

[steady jolt]

Yes

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[forest lagoon]

#rules-and-guidelines will tell you everything you need to know

[merry thunder]

ok mr starwars man

[pulsar cobalt]

Pretty much a dungeon crawler hack and slash game

[merry thunder]

do i really need to read allat🔥????

[pulsar cobalt]

Its probably blizzard best game since for ever haha

[forest lagoon]

That was almost a sentence

[steady jolt]

Yes

[pulsar cobalt]

Whole point of the game is to get powerful and make really good builds

[merry thunder]

eternal

[merry thunder]

whole point of the game is to shoot

[amber mirage]

Sounds like Minecraft. I get powerful and build really good.

[merry thunder]

Finally got behemoth in fiesta and had so much fun on that map

[quick escarp]

Lucky, I still haven’t got it after so long of trying

[obsidian wyvern]

stream started now

[smoky token]

is it a community play date or something?

[obsidian wyvern]

its a major..

[smoky token]

ah

[steady jolt]

HCS Dallas

[smoky token]

right

[obsidian wyvern]

cmon titan wheres your excitement

drops btw

[amber mirage]

More coatings to collect but never use

[brittle hawk]

do we know what time does the double xp starts? i would assume a couple hours.. or whenever noon is for 343i

[pulsar cobalt]

I wonder if that's it with the cores if more are planned

343 100% needs to do Mark IV and and Mark VI as the last cores

[jade gust]

So long as the H3 style Rogue/a Rogue helmet much closer to that comes with that Mark VI core, I'd be happy

[pulsar cobalt]

Man i would be super happy if that happened

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL they had the wrong players on each team

[pulsar cobalt]

Doo doo

[limber marsh]

Did they fix the controls yet. Been waiting over a year. Nothing juices me more than bad controls.

[dreamy stirrup]

what

you can remap them to anything you want?

[pulsar cobalt]

Sam is right controls are more of a you issue 😂

[burnt frost]

xd

I think I use legacy controls? I forgot the actual name

[azure trellis]

when does the ember hex battle rifle drop?

[burnt frost]

last day

finals

[bronze breach]

Skill issue

[cloud tundra]

When does 2XP go live, does anyone know?

[dreamy stirrup]

yes

[cloud tundra]

When does it?

[bronze breach]

Nice textwall. To sum up - skill issue.

Sam, what do you do at 343. Are you a CM?

[limber marsh]

So it is part of the game then?

[dreamy stirrup]

si 🙂

[bronze breach]

Nice.

[vagrant patrol]

hahaha

happy pride month everyone

[obsidian wyvern]

sam, do you happen to know if people are allowed to share the season 4 content they can access today

havent seen anything saying theyre allowed, but nothing saying theyre not allowed

[limber marsh]

Rip halo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1fNEO8bees

did that guy just say what i thought he said

[smoky token]

Don’t worry about it

[azure trellis]

i was in a ctf game just now

and this guy without a brain

FORGOT WHAT TEAM HE WAS ON and helped us capture his own flag

[smoky token]

I said don’t worry about it

[azure trellis]

what?

[elfin glacier]

Huh?

[pearl laurel]

Halo chat

[fickle drift]

343 needs to hire this man

https://youtu.be/etb48EO3oJQ

Best halo animation ive ever seen

[pearl laurel]

I’m guessing that’s an ip grabber

[azure trellis]

it is clearly a youtube link

[fickle drift]

^

[buoyant iris]

https://tenor.com/view/rickroll-roll-rick-never-gonna-give-you-up-never-gonna-gif-22954713

[pearl laurel]

Definitely an iPad grabber

[fickle drift]

Litterally a youtube link to a amazing animator that 343 needs to hire

[pearl laurel]

IP

[azure trellis]

this chat today is killing me

im dead

[buoyant iris]

Actually

[azure trellis]

thats it ive died

[pearl laurel]

Master chief has to come to save chat from the covenant

[fickle drift]

😂😂😂fr

[azure trellis]

alright guys gather around my funeral starts in 4 minutes 12:30pm est

[smoky token]

343 usually commissions other studios for pre-rendered cutscenes

Also it’s “hire”

not “higher”

[azure trellis]

small brains are important too

[fickle drift]

Oh typo im driving right now using voice to text

[azure trellis]

brain fit in my pocket ❤️

[smoky token]

You should probably focus on driving

[obsidian wyvern]

you speak out that link too?

[azure trellis]

he sure did

[candid epoch]

it would be funny if you didn't die but

didn't

[bold sparrow]

*hire
Higher would be something else you can do in the State of Washington but thats usually best done by yourself.

[bronze breach]

plays ctf btb, forgets what team I'm on...

[candid epoch]

MCC or infinite

[smoky token]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[bronze breach]

Infinite.

[lean arrow]

@candid epoch MMC

[azure trellis]

people on btb genuinely are that bad most of the time

[winter flame]

he didnt forget, he just decided he wanted to do a flag run regardless. u gotta respect that

[bronze breach]

You telling me, I go 5-25 nearly every game on btb

[azure trellis]

🦷

[spare latch]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/So-OiniVBBM

[bronze breach]

and?

[candid solar]

Just don't rush B

[fickle drift]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but for the longest time the halo waypoint forums have been the palce to make suggestions for the game and those are gone, probably have been for a while. Where do we go to make suggestions now?

[candid solar]

That's the neat part, you don't

[fickle drift]

wonnnnnnderful

[smoky token]

He’s joking

You can make them here, the Steam forums, or reddit

really any place 343 has a social media presence

[fickle drift]

gotcha

would it be feasible to add a "suggestions" board to the infinite and mcc steam forums?

also, thank you mods for finally stepping in and cleaning up the steam forums

[obsidian wyvern]

i feel bad for pyro having to moderate those

[fickle drift]

yeah theyve been really bad possibly the worst ive seen personally

[noble wharf]

All morbed up

[vapid siren]

i swear to christ i never get the credit for anything

pyro's got backup now and it was me and titan really goin hard yesterday

and also the REAL gigachad mod on the steam forums, Leo

[tight remnant]

I can't find an answer right now but did they have the bulldog then switch out to the sidekick on the HCS twitch drop?

[vapid siren]

sidekick is whole weekend, bulldog is just today's

[fickle drift]

youre all doing a good job keepin it clean

[dreamy stirrup]

i'll think about it but i suspect most of those "suggestions" would turn into a disaster

i'd prefer you use #1039633978841374720 tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

thats because i only spoke to pyro, didnt even know you or titan moderated them bcs ive just met you 2 lol

its fine ill shower you with praise next time

[hasty zinc]

50 separate Playable elite suggestion threads

[vapid siren]

bro you knew me from r/halo before here lol

[smoky token]

Me and Hawkner also mod them

[obsidian wyvern]

i knew you were there

[tight remnant]

Ah. I looked at my progress and I saw the bulldog then I saw the sidekick show up with lower percentage. I got confused.

[obsidian wyvern]

but if you search how much ive spoke in there, its like nothing

[smoky token]

…who?

[obsidian wyvern]

only when siege drags me in lol

[smoky token]

lol

[vapid siren]

but uh yeah i've been pitching in with steam for the past... month and a half?

[vapid siren]

Leo's one of the valve mods

Leo, Paul, etc are all valve when you see the "removed by..."

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[smoky token]

ah

I know there was one other mod who is no longer active

[vapid siren]

which is something that's nice to see but we dont want to see cause it means coverage is lacking

on the upside that wasn't much a thing yesterday so we were on the ball

[smoky token]

We were killing it yesterday

[fickle drift]

understandable yeah it would be messy the hope is that it'd let ideas come across without being drowned out by the standard anti cross-plat and other vitriol

[obsidian wyvern]

oh, was yday bad bcs june

[smoky token]

I banned at least 100 people

[obsidian wyvern]

holy

[smoky token]

yeah.

[vapid siren]

on steam alone?

[smoky token]

yeah, steam

[obsidian wyvern]

they only get banned from forums right, or from the game as well?

[dreamy stirrup]

forums

[hasty zinc]

Oh is hcs drops today?

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[timid crane]

Pain

[smoky token]

Only sam here has perms to actually ban people from the game

[vapid siren]

and annoyingly enough if they're banned from MCC forums they can go to Infinite forums so it's a tedious process

[hasty zinc]

I'll have to check the times

[smoky token]

Alongside other xbox/343 devs

[vapid siren]

hopefully there's some plugin tool out there we can find later on

[obsidian wyvern]

its started

[hasty zinc]

Oh great

[smoky token]

Dynf can I DM you something

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[spring fulcrum]

No

[hasty zinc]

Wonder of I can still get the drop today

If

[obsidian wyvern]

only one game has been played

or do you have to wait till you get home to watch

[hasty zinc]

I can do it on mobile
