what if you get a flat on a highway and then someone stops to help and as your tire is being changed you look up and see a meteor blasting through the upper atmosphere towards you and then the guy changing your tire gets hit by a passerby as they're looking at the metor and then you realize you have to get out of that spot, but your tire is off so you hop in the car of the guy who stopped to help you and then you look down and see a shifter but don't know how to drive a manual. You're done bucko

I refuse to buy an electric car. I'll buy a vintage gas car before I do that.
a lot of people waste time learning stick and give up. that's money youre paying an instructor or time for your parents or whoever teaches you
Why?
I don't want one. It's that simple.
for me doing manual was a no brainer because i love driving
wayyy too early
stick shifts are affordable, and it seems you dont know what dedication is
love trains, hate buses personally. when my gf and i go to the cinema we'd rather spend 30 min on a bus, 20 min on a train, 30 min on a bus, instead of 1 hour by bus.
most people being able to afford an EV in 2030 seems too early
i drive manual and i love manual and will never drive an automatic petrol car so idk why you're being condecending to me for recommending against learning stick for most people
They aren't even friendly to the environment....look up repairs, battery replacement cost....
Yeah the problem is that learning how to drive manual has more cost attached usually.
that's so much more effort lol
and look up ev cost
like i dont know the dedication when i literally did it myself?
automatic driving lessons are more expensive
but you tend to take more manual lessons
Overpriced trash. I'll stick with my SUVs and Trucks.
fair
Time for sleep. See y'all, tomorrow. ๐
gn
Honestly the only reason I want Inheritor here someday is so I can show you guys cool pictures of frogs
trucks are actual useful vechicles
G'night
curious why are they more expensive? surely the fact you cant burn out the instructors clutch would make them cheaper haha
2 of my friends took around 40 driving lessons in manual, and it's about 30 an hour for them
unlike an 80k "cheap" ev with the only useful thing being automatic drive
should they focus more on chiefs human side in halo's story?
40 lessons, eek
I will never be without a truck. I like SUV's as I can get more in them too.
plus, the envirements already done without repair, it doesnt matter tbh
No, they should focus on people who aren't Chief in Halo's story.
Wait wrong reply
idk but I've been looking for instructors and all automatic instructors charge you more
probably because you have less lessons with them
lol
Dangit
i mean in the next game we play as him
i just learned manual with my mam and dad but i had to understand how the car actually worked to master the art
You can't just go take a driving test....?
we dont know if theres gonna be a next game, what are you talking about
driving tests are so much harder here from everything I've heard
Ah.
Doesn't change how I feel about it whether that's true or not.
its quite impossible atm to get them they are always booked and bloody expensive
I think it's a waste to focus on a universe as rich and potentially vast as Halo's, and just hyperfixate on one green dude and his blue lady.
and chief is the main character, and has been for over 20 years, theres nothing wrong with playing as him again
more effort, more money, more walking around, but less consecutive time on a bus :p
Yeah, it's too bad that ODST and Reach existed and proved that Halo can have good stories without a guy who should've stayed asleep.
im sure your first game was guardians lol
yeah all driving tests got cancelled over COVID so there's like 2 years worth of people trying to book their tests now. my friend was looking for a test date a few weeks ago and the earliest they could find was September
That's wild to me. Here you turn 15, go get a book and get a learners permit, get comfortable enough and at 16 go get your license. You don't have to do anything else.
????
my advice if you take the test in the UK is watch a ton of mock driving tests and pick up on what people commonly fail for. you need practical lessons but a lot of it is just mentally training yourself
fair enough, I'd probably do something similar to avoid the train if I was by myself
First of all, nothing would be wrong with that if it was the case. Second of all, it isn't the case. He's not a compelling character to me, and I grew up playing CE and 2.
all my friends like the tube though so I'm usually stuck on there when going out with them
you will need less lessons if you learn watching mock tests. so you can just focus on getting confident with the car
Come at me with an actual insult instead of something dragged from some reddit-tier basement.
chief is a great character, nothing wrong with him. odst was a great game, but the rookie to be fair was asleep the whole game, and reach was more based on.. well the planet than the actual main character. the only good "characterised character" if you get me besides chief would be The Arbiter
I think my app has something like that
The younger generation past halo 5 guardians doesn't know the truth about halo unless they experience playing the first game halo combat evolved 2001 which is also on halo master chief collection
nothing is a subsitute for experience but you dont wanna waste money with an instructor learning what u can learn online
Bull.
thats not bull, guardians was awful and youre their typical multiplayer fan with your hate driven self stuck with your crap-posts
The "Truth" isn't exactly an objective statement when it comes to the enjoyment of a storyline. And everything about Halo that interested me, wasn't Chief.
what the what kind of name is that haha
Hate driven?
go back to playing against the prometheans lmao
First of all, what?
dont spend a peny doing the theory, there's plenty mock theory tests
exactly, you proved my point
My brother in christ, you literally came out the gate insulting me with a game I never even brought up.
study as much as you need but dont spend money on those apps
without chief, halo wouldnt of existed
Good
enough practice hazard perception tests are free to pass easily
so did 2 other people
I spent a fiver lol
People thought halo reach was the first game release but bungie didn't bring it till after halo 3 odst
What
The MP on 5 was very liked actually
its the story people wern't a fan off
Halo reach was better then all of them
not my point
but it says it'll pay for your next theory test if you fail so I'm fine with it
halo reach is my second favorite bungie halo game personally
Your point is that you're hurt by someone not liking Chief and that's fine.
okay
technically halo reach is a 343 game also
Now, reacting like a child about me not liking Chief as a character isn't.
nothing can beeat halo 2's story though
thats why reach is my 2nd
I was referring to halo reach mp
THat's even worse
im saying campaign
reach MP is pog
the best halo game is infinite its god tier halo
I'm not even joking either
So TRUE
Infinite does have one of the best stories.
Halo infinite didn't start out with co-op or forge on release till a year later and all the other halo games had it on release
Season launch is tmw ya? with reset?
I dunno. Does Act Man have a server?
infinite has one of the worst stories imo
Hahaha
Next week
dont know
Season 4 launches on <t:1687284000:F> which is <t:1687284000:R>
oi, huge thanks
Find out and go there.
Infinite is the best halo game after halo CE, 2, 3, ODST, Reach, 4, and 5. My favourite after all those.
Halo reach had better spartan customizations then having to pay for them
As a Spartan, you are built for war. You are the master of any weapon, pilot of any vehicle, and fear no enemyโand in Season 4 youโll be getting your hands on some new equipment to make use of on the battlefield. Letโs see what the Halo Infinite sandbox will look like when you go hands on with Season 4: Infection on June 20!
true, escharum is literally bowser, jega did nothing besides look cool, the other villians were pointless and the harbinger existed to make the game progress, chief was the sngle best character in infinite due to more humanizing but i mean, the weapon is corny and the pilot is a massive cw
It's weird. I like Infinite's story in a self contained manner, but in terms of narrative order it's kind of a train wreck to continuity, and that I can't just abide to.
i agree
Infinite has a good campaign but it's like mp is toybox game
it didnt make any sense, but in my opinion, the best halo villian is tartarus
why? because he actually does something every 5 seconds
:P
Halo 2 chieftain was way better
It's undeniable that Reach had by far the most consumer friendly customization system of any Halo game. Unfortunately, that was 13 years ago, and Infinite's honestly isn't all that bad. The monetization of Infinite is the only significant downfall of the customization system.
Understandable
Reach Anniversary wen
Hopefully never.
he does something all of the time unlike escharum who spends all of the game talking through a gram
๐ญ
Halo Reach 2!
not possible
Does the value of the Reach CR get inflated?
Yes
That's not deep tho
reach is destroyed and since youre saying "2", im guessing youre meaning right after the event
๐ค
instead of a prequel
genius, bring back every Reach sandbox element in the slipspace engine and then EOL Infinite
Oh neat new Sandbox overview
Halo reach wasn't planned for a sequel cause the lore explains what happens next to where Jun and halsey goes after noble 6 leaves them
tbh reach is one of my favorites
Slipspace? You mean Blam! 2?
ik, thats why im saying its impossible for there to be a second one
i mean, guilty spark survived stupidly enough so i mean, it wouldnt suprise me if 343 did something like that
guys we're just memeing
who's we
why would you make a Reach 2 when Reach is already perfect
Halo wars 2 is Halo infinite campaign
I like how it took Halo about its entire lifespan for Halo to have the manpack teleporter that Unreal Tournament had.
AI lives on a galaxy spanning network of data
People are surprised when the AI lives after you kill its body
Did no one pay attention to Halo 5
TRUE LOL
No, and that shows every time I interact with people who screech about Cortana surviving.
I'm tired, boss.
potentially its the worst sandbox element since armour lock but who knows
If anyone hasn't noticed that then you haven't played halo wars 2 yet
yeah because cortana surviving didnt make any sense
neither did the entirety of halo 5 but whatever
^Didn't pay attention to 5
Or 4, for that matter.
Or even really parts of 3.
4 was a better game than guardians
explains why cortana surviving made sense
THIS IS WHY HALO 5 DIDNT MAKE SENSE
No.
3 was perfect, wdym
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
it's better than all of them
im a simple man, i shoot the aliens, green man wins, im happy, next game i shoot more aliens
better than all 343 games in my opinion campaign wise
who ru lying to
green man was sad in halo 4 so me no like halo 4
Dude, seriously, the jokes, they're too good.
You are joking right
Right?
Yeaaah no
i know man, not liking chief and literally any element of halo considering it wouldnt exist if it wasnt for the green guy is an hilarious joke, man..
Halo infinite is the sequel to Halo wars 2 but Halo 5 is getting a sequel its on for Halo 6 and ik there has been speculations of no game being made but unless it would make sense the continued story after 5
As much as I love H3 it's not that good
The main character is not the universe's reason for existing.
Trench you gotta chill when it comes to people having a different opinion to you
It's like saying CoD wouldn't exist if it weren't for Price.
Halo 3 had an amazing story
its great, theres some tiny elements where it was bad like changing TRUTHS VOICE ACTOR, and mirandas awfulness in the game
just mentioned that
I'll be sure to remember that the next time someone insinuates being a liker of Halo 5 is a bad thing.
besides that, its great
Or is somehow age related.
The story is mid but campaign level design and all is good
Halo Infinite is the sequel to Halo 5.
There won't be a Halo 6, as 343 has moved on from numbered titles. Halo Infinite is technically Halo 6
plus truths death was perfect and although arbiters plot wasnt as good, halo 2 was his game and hte series kinda had to go back to chief, but arbiter was still great
It is rather bizarre to like a series that has been centrally focused on Chief...and not like Chief. That's like saying, oh I watch The Mandalorian...but don't like Mando.
yeah, osiris disappearing completely and whatever the hell happened to blue team made a lot of sense for it to be a sequel to halo 5
are you good
TRUE
I like the world, and I think it would be better off if it wasn't focused on him. It's like loving Star Wars but hating Skywalkers.
tell that to trehcnbird or whatever his or her name is
The sad bit is that robs of halo 64. And that would be a good reason to get my n64 out of the basement
Why don't you like him?
hes the main character, and the game has had like 4 games not focused on him, you should be satisfied
No, because I don't want to keep focusing on him.
Quake would have been halo
"i like star wars but not the characters"
His story's been done a few times now and it's got a serious case of ending fatigue.
Disingenuous.
yeah and i just explained that
unironically the games without chief - Spartan assault and strike- were the best
WHAT
I do agree, John's story should have ended in 5 with him dying or him becoming a peaceful farmer
And you explained it like an amateur who can't grasp the source material properly.
The game would be fine without chief and saying more of others characteres, the Halo universe is pretty big for that
be better then them then, you obviously have a great deal of knowledge about Halo lore and I like your input here most of the time but sometimes you say stuff just trying to belittle the other person and it doesn't reflect well
where are the Spartan strike and assault haters huh, nowhereee
I really enjoyed the Spartan games, shame we'll likely never see a 3rd
universally loved games
Most Halo games are Spartan games
youre the one saying you dont like chief because he has too much screen time despite being the main character, what are you saying
Short answer, he's got a serious case of arc and ending fatigue, and he tends to absorb a lot of stories that would've been more meaningful if someone else had been doing them. He sucks oxygen out of other character's story by virtue of being a narrative rogue satellite.
im sure osiris had a great story arc and the rest of the confusing plot, trenchbird
Example, Hyperius' shoulder guard being Locke's helmet offers a chance for Locke to have an out-of-universe character redemption arc by way of giving him something more motivating to fight for.
yeah and he never got one, they killed him off in a bad way
plus locke had so much potential and was wasted in halo 5
And you can't comprehend the fact that I want to focus on other characters despite me literally stating this several times in a row. I'm not saying he's not the main character, I'm saying he shouldn't have to be anymore.
a spartan who hunts other spartans is awesome, but he was wasted because he was put in halo 5
uhh
yeah, and youre the type of person to enjoy the newer games than the ones who started it off
which theres nothing wrong with that, but going to the degree to not want the literal characters who satrted it to exist anymore
what's wrong with that
or not "exist" but be relevant is just weird af
just explained)
There is nothing wrong with this
i just explained this for the 4th time
that's just trench being.. trench
^
Please turn off the ping/tag when replying, thanks
Locke's a hunter of targets in general, Chief's actually weird 'prey' for him because he doesn't usually get tasked against Spartans. Nobody really does.
Halo Infinite playable Sangheili ODST Noble team when???
Because it's usually not necessary.
The game would lose a lot of followers if Chief was sidelined permanently. I'd never touch another Halo game myself. I don't mind the games without him, but at this series core...if he ain't here, ....peace.
The cool thing I enjoyed of halo infinite was finding the audio logs of deceased Spartans and finding the Easter egg 2001 xbox setup in the hidden room and flying around the map with the grappling hook
If Halo ever did like WoW and had the player be just a guy with John being the main character they work with or take missions from
You can tell me all you want, I fundamentally disagree on your subjective opinion.
plus, halo is alreayd losing popularity like every 2 seconds so i mean, making chief a side would just kill it
Halo Infinite DLC but you get to play as the Atriox and mess up the UNSC Infinity
Yo
That'd be a cool concept.
Playable Brutes 
subjective opinion is kinda redundant no
I'm using it like a tandem charge in case it doesn't go through the first time.
Banished were the good guys all along
chief is the single best character in halo anyways besides Thel, lmao
in my opinion atleast
The Arbiter.
I was watching a psychiatrist do an analysis of Breaking Bad and apparently feelings can be facts which I found interesting
And I take that entirely as a reason to step up the rest of the cast's narrative game instead of getting them caught in deeper tar pits.
yeah
Who here is an og 2000's halo ce pvp gamer and understands the true meaning of what halo games truly were and not based upon subjective responses
not true, my opinions are objectively right therefore all other opinions are subjective unless they align with mine
me
Anyone here who is an OG 2000s Halo player and is arguing in Discord needs to grow up tbh
They'd be... What, in their 30s, 40s?
lol
I've been playing the series since I was 16, so...a long time.
Facts
Damn. I feel attacked.
people played ce when they were 6 years old
Yeah, and Halo CE came out 22 years ago.
late 20s at the earliest
So they'd be 28 now, nearing 30.
I'd like to see the ogs here to take on the newbies in halo ce and halo 2 pvp and not remastered
Please athlon tomorrow 343 please
randie started with halo CE, she's like 21 now
lmao, invalidated again
... How is that an invalidation?
plus, nothing wrong with being late 20s and playing video games either
What is the age limit to be able to debate a game on discord?
youtubers are literally all that
I don't think anyone said otherwise.
Under 30 or it's creepy and weird.
That is a joke for the dense.
you just saw what i meant
there is no age limit on debating but adults shouldnt really be "arguing" tbh. Im guilty myself tho
30 years of age wow
The older I get the more I find people are stuck in high school.
Pretty sure you have to be 13 to be on discord
Limit as in max.
you didnt specify xd
idk why I always laugh when I see xd
Bowling for Soup made a song about this.
it's like making sure the other party knows it's not srs
xd i pretty much do it for the meme
Okay, I guess they made two songs about it.
I was actually thinking of High School Never Ends.
whatever the debate was
If you want to be charitable, it was a 'debate'.
i guess
1985 hits on so many different levels now.
true
Reach is a good game lets go this debate never gets old
Why do i get this feeling we gonna get a trailer tomorrow
don't tempt me
halo on top fr fr
Fr fr
a week before the new season sounds reasonable
halo is a pretty cool guy who doesnt afraid of anything
What's funny is, Reach was the first Halo game I actually was excited for.
God, I'm glad I'm not capable of nostalgia.
1985 is coming back into style that's what bungie took its did on its latest expansion
what?
destiny games arent that good
2 kinda made sense, and the characters didnt seem like robots
what?
I haven't touched it in awhile
this is like reading an AI conversation
(I've been asking this ever since they asked about any "OG fans who know the TRUE Halo")
Embed fail
As someone from that time, I am fine with it. I don't care much for lightfall tho, ha.
oh no it's happening again

I love destiny but the way its gone is not really it for me anymore
Tell that to the covenant
boom
my man just said boom
Okay, yeah, I totally get it now.
I don't think this is unreasonable.
don't expect anything from xbox entended and you can't be dissapointed twice right?
why isnt it letting me say it again lawl
titan face reveal haha
Titan is an elite preferred species?
Pretty good
titan is the arbiter
nothing wrong with speculating about it but if it doesnt happen and this chat is full of people saying "halo ded" again im gonna lose my mind
Anti-spam protection.
๐คข
Where da badger picture this is the perfect time
because halo is completely dead๐
@molten pelican boom
AHHH
Why do i feel like zooming in to the elite and having that as my profile picture haha but i don't want to steal
luckily the owner is right here to ask permission from
you want titans face as your pfp? little odd
no go ahead
the model is just an elite minor from Infinite and the headset was some one off turbosquid
(Don't do it titan will eat your skin)
I have the original image and blend files somewhere but iโm not home rn
im trying to figure out what elite that is
@noble kraken you canโt post duplicate messages
Titan literally just said.
gamer elite
???
the more you hit send on just the word โboomโ, the more it will get automatically deleted
it doesnt look like an infinite elite, im sure titan or whatever isnt lying considering they made it but it kinda looks like a halo 4-5 elite with a mouse that makes sense
itโs an Elite Minor from Halo Infinite
my bad for ever questioning it
Iโll show you in fullbright later lol
on first glance it looks kinda chonky like a 4/5 elite
like an infinite elite wouldnt fit in that chair lol
Anyways, I think IVs are cool because their bones use a fullerene lattice implanted into their bones.
the chair is 2x scale lol
told you
Amusingly, this should problably make their bones stronger than a II's bones, but it doesn't because reasons.
technically everything is like 100x scale
Mark IV core for season 5 please
hereโs the original if you donโt want the speech bubble
(I'm saying they have carbon nanotube bones)
Alright
still it looks like a 4/5 elite with a mouth that makes sense
i wanna have carbon nanotube bones ngl
It sounds so much more effecient than ceramic coating.
did they stop acountless uploads?
But then, considering how much early installment weirdness Halo has regarding Spartans, it wouldn't surprise me if the augmentation procedures for IIs and IIIs get soft retconned at some point to make more sense strengthwise.
you can upload to Imgur without an account
if so just make a private discord and you can upload stuff there. links are kinda long but not too bad
It's midnight and it's 67...
Whyyyyyyy

my fan isn't doing enough but if if I put it up a notch, I'll get a cold

yeah

Don't, aim it across

they changed the TOS a few weeks ago

I was debating it but I didnโt feel like getting rid of all the armour
You should've given him those razor cat ear headphones.
couldnโt find a model
worth a shot
actually i could just take the cat ears from halo and slap them on
Rip the cat ears off of MJOLNIR and make a simulacrum, yeah
Iโll make a second render when I get home
aren't you around London
nah im north
oh no you're in Leicester for uni aren't you
nah further north keep going
I'm debating sleeping on the couch tbh. 3rd floor bedroom just gets so damn warm, even with 2 fans
finished uni
Birmingham?
pfft I was thinking I was wrong with that lol
my mum went to sleep on the couch, says the loft extension turned into a microwave
infinite needs a fps limit for the main menu idk why its like running a benchmark stress test every time
i live in the north most city in England although its rarely known for being that
but i might be moving south soon
my geography is appalling
We've got a skylight window in the bathroom, but there's like a 100% chance Ziggy will go roof exploring.
known issue iirc
hopefully it will be fixed with s4
Lancaster?
67 ?
my pc doubles as a space heater in the winter though on the menus
i said north most city and you said manchester is too far north
how can a city be too far north if its the north most
not the best in the summer
I mean it seems like that's too far away from Leicester to justify going to uni there
Do you use fahrenheit stckr ?
oh nah i went far for uni
Most folk I talk with are US based, getting used to the conversion
67 Celsius is crazy lol
67c would be death lol
just a seperate fps cap for menu specific vs ingame would fix most of the 100% gpu usage
its not manchester tho its the one that's further north then any other city in England. and that's a map of all cities in England
Oh god. I just learned the Cobra has nearly the same dimensions as a Scorpion, but weighs about half as much.
And I thought the M820's weight and size situation was bad.
every time I go onto twitter and the UK weather is trending, it's just Americans attacking us for not being able to deal with it
force them to adapt
they must conform xd
Yeah i feel like us english folks are getting Americanised haha
Ripon? I've never heard of that city
People have gotta learn to adapt
I'm gonna say Cornwall next
you can do it
Cornwall is such a nice place

WOO YEAH

honestly I forgot that was England till you mentioned the line lol
not much hahaha
now i wanna move away again and the parents aren't too thrilled
they like all their babies in newcastle
Finally got my phat Xbox connected to wifi for the first time since 2009 and games keep freezing lmao just my luck
I wouldn't blame you for leaving
and yep
its not newcastle, its just some opportunities you gotta move for and newcastle is so far away from everywhere else in England
I liked it when I went
newcastle is actually one of the best cities to live in probably
it wouldnt even feel that far away from the rest of the country if train prices weren't so expensive
all I know about Newcastle is the football team
that's all I've ever heard about it lol
its just kinda like the English version of Edinburgh pretty much. But then with the night life of somewhere like Bristol
not that different from Manchester tbh
but yah most geordies be into football
we also have a ubisoft branch and i recall a guy from ubisoft giving us a talk in IT when i was in high school
anyone mcc legendary
tried that already
343 teased a new coating in announcements haha
Looks good haha
I'm really hoping season 4 has some rak items in there

This is a general chat if you looking for teams to play in halo games please go to the requested chats for them
Good Evening.
I am actually gonna start getting back into halo it's been months
lmao you know the ranked system is good when the top 5 players are 2500 csr 4stack playing vs 1700s
A relevant XKCD for everything (in reference to Redditโs current conundrum)
If they didn't allow that, those top ranked players would never find a match
Hey yโall whatโs the weekly challenge this week on infinite?
complete 3 BTB
B r u h, dang it, alright bet thank you!
Pretend its fiesta, with more people and non-random weapons
Btb is fun
Itโs not fun when 5 people are afk and only 2 people are playing objective
Iโve played too many matches that only last >3min because our teammates are either garbagio, or no one plays objective
its BTB you really just gotta thank your lucky stars there's another person doing objective with you ๐
It really do be the 1-3 people who are even playing objective, most goated players
tbf that's what makes is so special when you clutch the win. I'll never forget the time i sneaked into the enemy base alone and some guy rolls up on a gungoose to pick me up so we can get the final cap
That's why I pick up the enemy team on the warthog and kill my teammates ๐
I should start doing that lol
Oasis is probs one of my favourite BTB maps for CTF of all time
Oasis is the best btb map
No cap the btb maps are somewhat fun tho, just wished people actually played objectives
thats whats so great about oasis, 2 people have a decent chance at getting the flag out of the enemy base
@amber mirage if the system can't find a balanced matchup for a stacked team like that it they shouldnt be able to find a match?
the alternative is 95% winrate stomping randoms
and if you're lucky you get matched vs them multiple times
idk why this is even controversial
its life
if you and your 3 friends happen to be absolute gods at the same, nobody is obliged to play against you
you can just queue up at the same time and play against eachother with 2 randos on either team
isnt the point of the system to make a balanced matchup where both teams have a chance to win
what is a 95% win rate from hundreds of games mean its broken
it does in infinite for the most part
theres so many ways to cheese the system
i can understand that solos should be able to matchmake, nobody should be too good to find a game
the amount of times the game matches a full team of solos vs 4 stacks too doesnt help
can atleast be 3stack vs 4 stack or 2 two stacks vs 4 stacks
but its almost always a full team of solos
if this happens its broken but its some exception they're making because in general infinite matches are balanced
i dont like 4 stacks against solos on principle but they do tend to balance based on the fact the 4 stack will coordinate better
its relatively new since they changed the matchmaking to csr based
when it was mmr it would be impossible to find a match with mmr that high as a 4stack
now it finds relatively quick but at the cost of teams getting stomped
if they dont address that kind of thing good players will just stop playing
lose wayy more players then making stacks wait longer
stacks have the choice not to stack, but when ur soloing, finding similar skill players is much harder
whats happening instead is people will just make their own 4stack and do the same thing
check pro players making 3stacks stomping randoms
who would want to queue up again
i could be wrong but i think most pros solo, im not sure why they would stack in ranked when they can just do 8s any time they want
even halo tracker is showing like 5% chance enemy team wins
yah i dont think most pros would even wanna play matches like that
not like they're learning anything
I don't think they do but when they play solo the same happens to them so they say screw it I will make my own stack
and its just a cycle of stomping randoms
sparty played one game solo and lost vs a 4stack makes his own then wins 90% of his matches
it was obvious sideffect of the csr system that tashi is aware of
whatever system they need to stick to 50% odds
there's a modded infection mode where id purposefully die just to play the flood classes lol theyre fun
and if anything MCC needs it too for its matchmaking system
like a message saying your average team mmr is very high queue times might be long
but instead it finds games normally
i dont know if it was 343 or someone else who published a study about how many players are put off playing by stacks with 90% win rates
it just seems obvious that far more people are forced out of a game like halo if you go by the logic that stacks must be able to matchmake quickly
thats the thing its not doing any benefit making people want to play that mode
its basically killed mcc 4v4 for casual players at this point
if they still had solo/duo I wouldnt care if the 4stacks wanted to sweat it out against eachother
wait.... with halo stuff being in brawlhalla, and since Ubi owns that, doesnt that open up the door to Halo stuff being in Rainbow Six siege??
everyone i know who use to play mcc has stopped because "its too sweaty"
Not everyone can afford central air
tbh that's why on principle i think it should be:
1+1+1+1 can only match 2+1+1 or 2+2
and
2+1+1 can only match 1+1+1+1, 2+2 or 3+1
implement that alone and the force nature of stacking in infinite ranked would pretty much go away
basically make it so the only way as a solo you face a 3 or 4 stack is if you're with a 2 or 3 stack respectively
arguably 2+2 matching against a 4 is problematic, but its a lot less problematic then solos
thats one way to say 4 solos going up against a 2 stack plus to randos
lol
its necessary because i dont wanna say 2+2 cant match 4
because ultimately why would a 2+2 be less coordinated then a 3+1?
i think you have to accept duos can face 4 stacks with another duo
unless you were to say 4s can only match other 4s which i dont think is necessary
i've been matched with trios against a 4 and its not that bad
i know they're a trio and they're coordinating so i try to follow what they do
yeah. i dont doubt a lot of new people left halo with that being one of the many reasons. shoot i stopped playing MW2 cause i just couldnt be bothered to play against the sweats there and i wasnt invested to the point that i felt the need to stick with it and grind to "get better". i bought it to chill out and enjoy myself, once i realized thats not what was gonna happen i just left. my main sweat game is R6, if i want that comp experience ill play that... and i did
its probably harder to two duos to coordinate with each other then a solo following a trio but using in game comms is an option
thankfully we live in a time they have so much data on player behaviour and what might be triggering you to get off early so i hope they will address it
How about we make it so you can. Only Match with seven specific people and itโs up to you to find them, make sure they play halo, and get them to play when you want them too. Names chosen at random out of a hat with seven billion names.
asking too much of my introversion sadly
Or you can only match with people who have the same birth months as you.
first letter of your first name
Thatโs impressive. How did you know my name started with a letter?
how about they just build data centres in the middle of the ocean and make it Europeans vs Americans vs Australians etc
wait they could put them in SPACE
One server in Antarctica, but itโs Ethernet connections only
@winter flame now you're onto something
MSFT had an ocean datacenter once, was neat
probs will one day have low ping cross continental gaming with Starlink and such
you already know someone will take a boat near the datacenter to get lower ping though

Was that the Atlantis server
like if you had a server right next to wherever Starlink connects up to the internet, wouldnt the ping be pretty playable around the world
The trick is to break into the server building squat there and the use a twelve million mile cable to hook into the Oceania server
okay i did some googling and moving to new zealand might not be so bad after all
the only real downside is if you live outside North America you are basically in North America if you play games via Starlink, so you would have high ping with friends locally who dont have Starlink
honestly wouldnt be surprised if game companies did some deal with Starlink to basically link their data centres so ping isn't such an issue
its like 30ms added which is nothing compared to the 100ms+ you get playing across an ocean
Anyone that says they don't like btb isn't a true gamer cause big team battles is where there is more action
And I love action
what if the true gamer
Bigger battles are better then 6v6 or 4v4
were the friends we made along the way?
No true gamer plays anything smaller then 64v64, bigger battles are better then 12v12 or 8v8
battlefield noises
anyone else actually want a BTB map set on Zeta Halo similar or modelled after the campaign? Kinda feel like it would be cool to see a similar setting in a BTB map
i like btb alottt
Sniping mostly is what I do on the battlefield sniper or dmr or pistol lol pistol ik is impossible but let's take into account that the og pistol from halo ce had the Range
but i have more control in 4v4s
i can affect the outcome as a solo
whereas in btb its jus wut team did i get
embrace the grind
Btb zombies on halo reach was fun
nothing hits like a 49-50 match of 4v4 (or equivalent in objective)
Did u know the grind is much faster when playing zombies if your the last one alive
unless you have 30+ kills and your on the losing team, in which case its massively infuriating lol
I maxed my accommodations on halo reach just by playing zombies
Some that have had practice can always bring the losing to a win I've done that in many matches
does anybody want to play some ranked ?
Confidence and awareness
49-49 and u win the 1v1
i like btb alot tho have hundreds of games

Bugs and fixes
You can see the reddits discord if you want more info
I was wondering if I got banned cause I went on a small rant in the weekly thread. I canโt win any ranked match. I lost 17 game in a row. It pisses me off. :โ(

Went from 890 to 805
Something isnโt quite well with the game. Everytime I know if Iโll win or lose a ranked game, after only 10 seconds.
Just from those 10 second you see how people will be playing for the rest of the game, and there is always this one dude who is in the extreme negative and donโt contribute to the team, which gives a 4 vs 3 match.
Why donโt you wait for your Reddit thread to come back to continue that?
Well isnโt this a general chat about Halo Infinite?
Thanks
Iโm not used to Discord yet, rarely ever used it, but now everything is taking that direction so I gotta learn it
One thing i wonder, how come we dont have any red vs blue color shaders
Like Agent Wash's old armor color
YESSS
Soon, we will gaze at the outside of its box and imagine this is what's inside. ๐
@grim cargo hey icarusael from what I learned in ranked is the team balancing is too rng to rely on the teammates it gives you, the meta right now is to have a 3/4stack of decently skilled teammates
you can ask people who you think are decent if they want to party up otherwise you're at the mercy of the system
playing solo is considerably worse since they changed the mmr system to csr based matchmaking
Yea ๐ฏ I found that out also from a YouTuber explaining that in the past
Basically a skill based match making is what's described
That looks awesome
No way bro the lore is insane. Iratus controls the discord now!
And in a few days, he will control you as well 
I'm excited for it. There's something about a thoughtfully designed controller that's very captivating.
man this looks so good
dang
The Direct fully and completely sold me on trusting this game. This will be my true first Bethesda game.
you best bet we'll be DM'ing each other about it
I wish Sol was here too to share in our excitement
Hope he's doing well
I think that's part of what will be magical about it: the discovery of more than just new worlds, but of new wrinkles in the gameplay, about our companions, for customizing our ships.
The "whoa did you realize you can do XYZ!" messages.
absolutely
I hope so too. Glad he's taking the break he needs.
i canโt even remember when I put this up here, I think it was for a gag?
it was a while ago though
Wow
That's how all those halo 3 fan girling lizards on social media should solve their problems
Reddit as a whole is down
it is how I solve problems, tyvm
RUNK be like
RUNK?
Runk
I am unfamiliar
It's basically what that meme describes but it's about a fictional program that handles math for every machine on the planet
A meme that waters down the fact that there is code from way back when that banks and the likes will pay big money if you can read/write/edit it because no one else knows how/wants to
Like COBOL
I am familiar with COBOL
they should rewrite all banking programs in โbrainmeltโ
They should write all banking programs in java ๐ค
they should rewrite all banking programs in any modern language
So not sanskrit?
cause I donโt want my money to be made null by a technical failure
among other languages
So no Latin?
Gloriam!

Hey all, getting back into the MCC after a few years and was wondering which games in the series are the go to for multiplayer at the moment
Glad DarthAbhinav can remain as darthabhinav.
Discord just forced me to change my username today.

Also damn Deek managed to get deek.

she can still be one of my comfort characters

tfw you spend like 20 minutes reorganizing your stash in Tarkov

bro someone put my in a hydraulic press and make my a coin because i wanna roll
man that makes it sound like i wanna die when i just wanna feel like a coin
i just wanna roll
Hear me out
Pure, in adulterated rage coming for a spartan 2 versus an enraged brute
Who yโall got money on?
the spartan two who just lost their final nerve and is now just fueled by rage
Literally every class of Spartan has utterly bodied an enraged brute in melee at this point.
chief has more of a kill count with the brutes..
It's amusing that he's actually got the worst melee related track record against Brutes specifically in full canon.
question, how would chief handle using a deagle?
It's basically just a worse magnum because both are chambered in .50 AE.
He did not.
He had one aimed at him and he remarked that it was an amusing museum piece.
how would chief handle a normal rpg?
Worse Pilum.
I honestly just think any modern weapons from our time rn chief would be able to use with ease
i dont like the pilum
I like the Pilum.
It's a sensible weapon with a design purpose that makes a lot of sense.
See Ultimo's statement.
Thanks trench
It's that way for pretty much everything.
Chief or most Spartans for that matter aren't really gonna have issues with modern firearms short of modern firearms just generally being worse than the Halo equivalents except for when they aren't worse.
I feel like chief would love an f-16
Oh yeah but hed probably find the the plane amusing
all i know is that chief can really only know how to use irl pistols since alot of em just act the same as hus pistols
Vehicles are the big issue for Spartans because anything real is way too small for them.
That isn't how that works.
Any fire arm can be used by Spartans with ease, with their augs they can control recoil to borderline non existent and on top of that they have the tracking of gods so honestly I donโt think itโs much of a an issue even if you handed them any rifles, shotguns, pistols, or even explosives
Feel like if you gave a spartan a modern rpg with multiple rockets in theyโre reach they could probably rapid fire one
They might have a bit of a 'what the hell is this' with some of the more esoteric real firearms, but that's an issue everywhere.
Like, I doubt they'd automatically know how to properly use a Javelin or an RPG-7, but half of being a Spartan is literally just being smart and crafty.
True dat
Big brain over writes training when training fails
But most cases is training donโt fail
It helps when most are 6'9" or taller brick houses of people who are only a step or two below being a Mensa member.
Mensa's a bit of a goofy club because IQ testing in general is kind of goofy, but you get when I mean.
bro my brain doesn't function at 3 am im goin to bef
๐
I just woke up and couldn't fall back asleep.
Hello
Only reason im up this late is cause im waiting on da phone call from a person
But sheโs stuck in one of the trials from the new outlast game so itโs taking some time
Only reason im up this late is cause its the morning
Iโm at work and decided to download this app been playing Xbox games for 2 decades and never knew about discord lol
you're only about 5 years late to the party, discord aint been around that long
Oh my god my settings didnโt reset when I launched Halo Infinite what a rare occurrence
And just got myself an Xbox series s and gana download halo
Wellโฆwelcome anyway! Always glad to see a new face
Glad to be back havenโt played a halo game in a few years
Any way to apply for mod
Now I just need to find a way to relive a night like the halo 3 days
Do u have live on Xbox ?
probs
That decreases your chances drastically.
Shrekt
L
Idk
God I hate fighting tremonious on legendary its so hard lmao
I've only managed to get him to half health a couple times because his shield regenerates so fast
@echo wraith u wanna play
Does requesting a ban increase my chances? 
Hai
Sure im at work now but Iโll be playing a lot this weekend
Add me?
Sure whatโs your gt
Excuse me
But your game has clearly become corrupt.
The matchmaking is rigged.
Two matches in a row, I had two different individuals AFK while aiming their guns in the air
Oh nah wtf
There was ONE game where I had a person on my team named "AFKPrincess"

AFKPRINCESS
Goofy ahh emojis
It couldn't have been more blatant
Any time I call out some of these AFK individuals, they start moving
Despite having watched them for minutes
do NOTHING
While aiming in the air each time you die?
showing blatantly that you're not only AFK, but you are there just to ruin the game?
I spin around with gun in the air
WHY?
Its fun.
To ruin people's games?

You could be doing anything else with your life and THAT'S how you spend it?
If you say so.
Why would you speak the truth like that ๐คฃ
That is horrible

The psychological damage is too much
If they really are doing this, I want to sue them
On the grounds that they lie and manipulate matches
That ain't a legal ground. No case to answer
LMAO
I'm tired of this crap.
The lawyers are going to laugh you in your face
I am laughing right now
Heh
Yes I really spin around with gun in the air in matches
Thata why my KD is less than 1
impressive Morbius, you baited him into getting himself banned
Hes not banned.
Afaik
How can he not see I'm just trolling. Anyone can see it.

Could also check theatre
i think he said something that gets you instantly banned by the bot, im not sure
๐
Don't worry about it
Peace in chat once more
And please try not to engage with trolls like that
If I order little Cesarโs pizza and Mountain Dew while playing halo can I transport myself back to 2007
Sorry my bad. But was funny lol
I wonder if hell report me now.
Only thing you'll see me do in btb is camp for wraith, tank or wasp in btb heavies
For positive kd
... It's 5AM-6AM on a Tuesday on the East coast of the US.
Of course chat is quiet. Water is also wet.
10.30am here in UK
Yeah but who cares about the UK
I'm at work procrastinating

we're the centre of the world 
Wonder why scorpion tail is not on other maps for heavies
Yo, sup? We're officially a week away from season 4 and I can't wait!!
Hope future seasons introduce more vehicles
Hi
Hello
quick question,if i own halo reach,Will i be able to play with people from the MCC
Maybe a civilian car
I donโt think so
Iโve asked that before but Iโm not sure
I think you gotta get mcc
Yeah itโs disappointing
the game was 2 dollars i got baited

no they use different servers
Eh?
Iโm curious, is your name, itโs morbin time anti monitor as in pc? or monitor as in the installation watcher
@tired wraith Anti Monitor from the DC comics.
Quiet chat
343 OR MICROSOFT. PLZZ ADD HALO ON MAC IOS PLZPLZPLZ
Nty 
Chat is quiet today
Hopefully athlon comes out today I'm so hoping
Pretty much the last week for season 3

yk that annoying moment when you are in a room full of people and it goes silent for .5 seconds and some kid goes "it got really quiet all the sudden"
It got really quiet all of a sudden
love u Rok
It got really quiet all of a sudden
It got a lot less quiet when suddenly two people tried to point out how silent it was
Ghjnbffgnht?
yes
Bless you
Is it safe to come back have things calmed down ๐
One planet in Starfield has more biomes than halo infinite lol
ok
Its safe to say that Starfield and BGS is xbox new fav toy
Halo gone
Not dropping but it aint looking good
343 need more investment since the restructure halo infinite has improved massively they talk to us they hear us it's not dead not by a long shot
Another halo was killed? Oh man, the Covenant isn't going to like this... There's only so many chances of dooming all life out there, ya know?
Well i hope not
Give people the opportunity to work at 343 long term, dont fire them after 18 months
How many Halo's is dead now
Look at bgs and what made them successful. A company where the majority of the workforce are long term veterans, the avg employee is there for over 10 years
I want 343 that to be
343 have full time employees
And a halo that isnt made to get the most money out of it but to get the most fun for the Player out of it. The money comes with that
The ratio last i heard isnt good tho
"heard"
Deal with it.
Dw I will buy the controlling stake of 343 and then move halo to minecraft engine
Welcome to the Internet - Bo Burnham from Inside movie on Netflix
Ty
That would be simple right? Just copy and paste the code over from one engine to another and boom! Halo: Minecraft. Wonder why it hasn't been done yet
Just search it on Google
