general-chat

[floral pollen]

I'm in a weird spot where I am, not super close to the servers (I don't think), and also have not great internet

[shadow hinge]

lol that infectino voice cheesy as all get out, haha

[rare cedar]

I’m ready for a Iratus vs MP Announcer Guy ring fight

[floral pollen]

Same

[rare cedar]

That should be the prelims for the Musk vs Zuck fight

[floral pollen]

I'm predicting sumn like that mid-season, or maybe S5

[primal remnant]

this is weird but would any of you have any idea how to play gears of war on pc

because even though its an epic game they dont support 1-4

[alpine delta]

Just played S4

[bronze breach]

Wrong discord. Only Gears:UE is on PC. 2, 3 and J arent

4 and 5 on pc as well

[pliant hatch]

spiteful is in platinum already. will probly be done before there's even a reward to get, lol.

[somber hazel]

Oof

I would play but it's unsafe to put my pc under load right now

[torpid scaffold]

Looking through the rules I'm curious if there's a place to post map bugs? Just found a funny one but it's still unintended

[somber hazel]

Two fans died so there's no fans on the radiator. If the radiator doesn't have fans the liquid won't get cooled and my cpu will overheat

So it's unsafe for me to play, I'd be putting very valuable and expensive hardware at risk

[smoky token]

Your CPU will shut itself off before it properly overheats

or throttle it’s own performance

That being said, 2 fans at once?

are you sure you didn’t just hit your PC and accidentally disconnect the CPU fan header?

[somber hazel]

I have lian li uni fans the bearing broke on two of them

That means there's only one fan for my 360mm rad

[smoky token]

ah

always wanted some unis but my case is too small

[somber hazel]

But here's the thing my cpu is a 12900k aka a 245w power draw

[smoky token]

mhmm

[somber hazel]

One fan sure as hell ain't gonna keep the liquid cool

[smoky token]

when did you get them? they might be under warranty

if not you can replace them with some P12s or even Vardars if you have the cash

[somber hazel]

They're under warranty but I heard replacements will take several months to arrive

I had the uni fans v1. Those broke and I ordered the v2's

My pc should be back up by the end of the week but as of now I cannot game or I'd be putting valuable hardware at risk

My gpu should be fine though

[smoky token]

again, your CPU won’t die if it’s not adequately cooled

it will just be severely handicapped

Like an old war hero who lost a leg or an arm or something

[somber hazel]

Obviously but It reaching 90c or above will still decrease its lifespan even if it's technically within spec

[smoky token]

decrease its lifespan if you plan on continuing its use for the next 10 years maybe

I’m willing to bet it will be long replaced before then

or used in some sort of NAS or home server

[somber hazel]

Well I do plan on letting my sister use it after I upgrade so it's gonna be in service for a long time yeah

[smoky token]

Is she going to use it for gaming?

[somber hazel]

Yeah

[floral pollen]

'Tis Halo time o'clock

And I should really sleep lol

[somber hazel]

She has a ryzen 3 3100 she desperately needs that upgrade lol

[fickle drift]

I just had a shower and haven't even dried my hair yet...and it's after 1am. I will probably game late tonight as I have work to finish too

[somber hazel]

The only reason why I'm considering an upgrade is to get a cpu that has a better memory controller

But that won't be until atleast meteor lake aka 14th gen intel

[smoky token]

Better memory controller?

The 12900 is nothing to scoff at

unless you mean for DDR5

[somber hazel]

It's a good cpu but since it released alongside ddr5 the stability with 4 dimms is bad

And yes I use ddr5

[smoky token]

I can’t speak for it’s reliability there then

I’ll still be on DDR4 until late into DDR5’s cycle

[somber hazel]

I can, if you try to use 4 dimms ddr5 then windows will constantly blue screen you

[smoky token]

How does Zen4 perform on that front?

[somber hazel]

Haven't checked but I think it's about the same

[smoky token]

interesting

[somber hazel]

13th gen brought minor improvements

But still unstable with 4 sticks overall

[smoky token]

I’m rocking 4x32 on DDR4 with a 5900x right now

haven’t had any memory related issues since I got the kit in december

[somber hazel]

I was using 64gb ddr5 6000mhz but I had to take two because the blue screens

[smoky token]

32 is still more than enough for 99% of games these days

I wonder if I can get my current kit up to 3800mhz

It’s 3600c16 right now, which itself is overclocked from 3600c18

I can’t remember my exact timings but it’s a good kit

[somber hazel]

Well I don't do just gaming. I have things open on my second monitor + I play at 4k

[smoky token]

Gameplay resolution will almost always be more of a VRAM thing

and external apps seldom take up more than 500mb of RAM on average

I was on 32gb for a long time until I upgraded

Only issues I ever had were rendering huge scenes in Blender

[fickle drift]

What game even needs 64?

[smoky token]

Few

And only at the absolute max settings

with res scaling cranked up to the max

[somber hazel]

4k gaming is still relevant usage of regular ram tho. You gotta keep in mind although the gou is using its vram that doesn't change the fact that the cpu is using the normal ram for rendering things in and stuff

[smoky token]

I think RDR2 uses a bit more than 32 if you let it

But Windows also rations RAM based on how much you have

So if you have two identical computers next to each other but one has 32gb and the other has 64, same programs running at the exact same time, the 64gb one will use more

That’s on purpose

[somber hazel]

Well I plan on doing content creation in the future, so that's the game + screen recording software + second monitor activity

[smoky token]

Screen recording software like OBS will only use a lot of RAM if you render on the CPU, which I would never recommend doing

If you use NVENC or AV1 it will use (small) amounts of VRAM

[fickle drift]

That makes sense. I have never heard anyone even talk about 64 gaming so that's why I asked, as I honestly didn't know any games that would benefit right now from it or even in the near (3-4 year) future.

[fickle drift]

I use my PC for gaming and I have cad software/rendering software running in the background and 32 has been fine for me, but different setups and things obviously make the difference.

[somber hazel]

Yeah I'm just doing more multi tasking than most people. Halo infinite at 4k + seconds monitor stuff already takes up 50% of the 32gb. Throw in screen recording, livestreaming and all that other good stuff and that 32gb won't be enough

[smoky token]

Yeah it will

I used to do all that and more at the same time on 32

people tend to overestimate how much RAM a program takes up

OBS will be maybe 500mb, Discord will be 800 or so, the game might be anywhere from 8-16gb

Chrome will be another 2-600mb

that all is in megabytes

[somber hazel]

The game was using more like 20gb for me tbh though

[smoky token]

So then you have 12 left to spare

that’s a lot

Again it’s your choice if you want to get 64

But you are thinking about the wrong pros and cons

[somber hazel]

That's just halo lol.

[smoky token]

You tend to edit video as a content creator yes?

Make thumbnails, have lots of media programs open?

Chrome tabs with a bunch of images for reference and such?

Large renderings?

That’s what you want a lot of RAM for

not the live stuff

[somber hazel]

I plan on doing content creation yeah. But I can't do so with the 12900k because it's memory controller won't let me use 4 sticks of ddr5

[smoky token]

right

Any particular reason you can’t get a 2x32 kit?

[somber hazel]

What would I do with the x4 16gb sticks if I did that?

If I did that then $300 would've been wasted in those alone

[smoky token]

idk, didn’t you say you had a sister?

Actually that gives me a question

Are you on Windows 10 or 11

[somber hazel]

11, 10 has a burning hatred equivalent to that of a million suns toward ddr5 for some reason

[smoky token]

Probably just age

It was made during the beginning of DDR4 and was replaced at the end of it

[somber hazel]

Yeah it doesn't recognize that memory lmao

[smoky token]

that was going to be my recommendation though

upgrade to 11

[somber hazel]

I have 11

[smoky token]

You know what you could try is an Ubuntu partition

See if that works better

[floral pollen]

I feel like I should get Windows 11, but haven't bothered yet

[somber hazel]

Wait I've never heard of a Ubuntu partition

[smoky token]

Ubuntu is a fork of Debian, a linux distro, and quite a popular one

It’s pretty much the “noobie distro”

It has support for almost everything and is super easy to set up

You can run it basically like windows with a slightly different UI

That’s the long and short of it

[somber hazel]

Huh sounds interesting

[smoky token]

It’s super robust and incredibly stable

[somber hazel]

The only os I've heard of other than windows is Mac os and Linux

[smoky token]

I would try running 4 DIMMs with it for at least video editing, if nothing else

[smoky token]

Linux is an operating system with a very large umbrella of names under itself

Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, PopOS, Manjaro, Arch, RedHat… and about a hundred thousand others

Even android is made from Linux

It’s a very malleable operating system

[somber hazel]

Lmfao it's almost like deciding which virus you want

[smoky token]

Funny thing, due to how little use it tends to get, almost no one makes viruses for linux

therefore it’s basically immune (compared to mac or windows)

[somber hazel]

I wouldn't say immune more like people have decided to spare it for the time being since it's not popular

[celest stump]

I think Linux is technically a kernel. Debian, Arch etc. are operating systems

[somber hazel]

It's like not killing a puppy you'd feel bad if you beat up something so defenless

[smoky token]

yes, that is more accurate, but for all intents and purposes for a mundane conversation like this, linux is an operating system

[smoky token]

spared for the last 50 years, yeah

[celest stump]

because no one uses it. It's only used significantly in server computers

Even after its many improvements, it's pretty much unusable for 99% of people out there. Especially if you use the computer for an office job.

[smoky token]

“unusable” is an abject falsehood

While, yes, it’s usability is heightened by knowing all of the relevant commands for it and such, you can use most distros without knowing that information

For example, Ubuntu

or Elementary

[celest stump]

Many Linux distros are designed to limit the need for a terminal. The problem is with the software availability. Personally I simply can't use Linux even if I wanted to.

[wintry plank]

When is halo 7 coming out

[smoky token]

Software availability isn’t much of a concern when you have access to VirtualBox and WINE

[celest stump]

We don't know yet. We only know that it won't be a campaign add-on for Infinite.

[smoky token]

Halo 7 has not been announced or confirmed in any way by 343

[wintry plank]

Nuh uh

I'm making it

[smoky token]

uh huh

[wintry plank]

I am John Halo

[smoky token]

[somber hazel]

I'm surprised they're even making a new game considering how poorly infinite, 4 and 5 turned out.

[wintry plank]

Don't worry it'll be good I'm making it

[somber hazel]

Everyone I asked can agree that those 3 are the worst games lmao

[smoky token]

How do you think they turned out poorly?

[wintry plank]

No more microtransactions instead the game costs 70 dollars and releases with content trust

[celest stump]

There's definitely enough interest for the story imo
343i games were successful launches afaik. It's just that halo hasn't reach the commerial peak of Halo 3 again.

[twilit spoke]

Who here likes genshin?

[somber hazel]

Every single person I ask comes to the agreement that infinite, 4 and 5 where all bad

Or the worst games at the very least

[floral pollen]

Aside from a few latancy issues (Which is prolly just my wifi sucking), I actually quite like Infinite
Haven't played the others tho

[celest stump]

Halo 4 has good campaign, bad MP.
Haven't played 5 but I think it's agreed that its campaign was bad and the MP was good
Infinite was good but released with little content.

[wintry plank]

Halo 4 and 5 strayed too far from what made halo good the gameplay wasn't bad just didn't feel enough like halo, halo 5s story was trash tho, halo infinite launched with not enough content and then they proceeded to add very little as well as poorly priced and bad cosmetics and halo infinites story was decent but they ended it leaving us with more questions than answers and an unsatisfying end

Only things I prefer about the new games over the old ones are graphics and movement that's about it

[smoky token]

In objective terms, how do you think current Halo could be improved?

[pale barn]

Me personally and I think alot of other people wish alot of the vehicles, weapons, maps and gamemodes from older titles were brought over to infinite

[rare cedar]

[pale barn]

YES

[celest stump]

Would griffball work with Infinite's physics?

[calm fiber]

I just got a message saying Noble 6 is dead on Reach. Who’s Noble 6?

[rare cedar]

oof

[pale barn]

Im not dead

What...

[wintry plank]

Idk maybe

[smoky token]

Why wouldn’t it?

Every version of Grifball has run on Havok, same as Slipspace uses

[rare cedar]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I sent what you put

[pale barn]

i didn't say im dead

You got a whole game

You’re fine

Hi

@real hemlock you don't spell chief like that

[real hemlock]

[pale barn]

You might already now

Oh yeah ok

[real hemlock]

Was my gamertag from my 360 days lol

[pale barn]

Why do you have a bell in your name

Just asking

[pulsar heron]

It means they have the Pings Okay role

[pale barn]

Oh

Ok

Is 🤓 a role (joking)

[pulsar heron]

No. If you want to see what roles are available, you can head to #roles

[pale barn]

I cant grab a ping role

[smoky token]

You did

I can see it

refresh your cache

[pale barn]

Oh i see it now

Im gonna go to sleep now

Bye

Im zzzzzzzzzz

[floral pollen]

Night night

[pale barn]

Ok im gonna go to sleep now

[real hemlock]

See ya!

Iratus I need some orders given to me

[calm fiber]

You puny humans require rest during the dark hours, do you not? Go and take that rest if that is what you require. You will provide a better fight for me if you do!

[floral pollen]

Well, I'm not tired

[fading silo]

Bold of you to assume I require rest

[real hemlock]

I work 3rds lol

[floral pollen]

So either I get to stay up, or you make me sleep, Iratus

[calm fiber]

casts sleep spell using my wizard powers

[floral pollen]

I'm now slightly more tired

[calm fiber]

So it’s true… you humans really are susceptible to the “placebo effect”!!!!

[floral pollen]

I've also fooled you, I feel even more awake

[calm fiber]

Drat, you have played me, the mighty Iratus, for a fool! I will have your scalp for that!

And your armour!!

[floral pollen]

Good luck getting past a tank

[fading silo]

My suit is powered by a dangerous element

[real hemlock]

I got dibs on the boots

[floral pollen]

You ain't gettin my boots

[smoky token]

Can I have your horse?

[real hemlock]

But... I want da boots 🥲

[coarse jackal]

How is a bot talking

[real hemlock]

With his ai mouth

[coarse jackal]

Oh ok

[real hemlock]

He is the mighty iratus he has killed himself into existence

Willed

[coarse jackal]

he’s emo?

[floral pollen]

You can have the horse, I don't use the horse

[smoky token]

Ah, thanks

[floral pollen]

Np

[real hemlock]

You can only have the horse tho if you put an ice cream cone on his head and we pretend it's a unicorn

Cause unicorns are sweet

[real hemlock]

I wanna say sure but that was autocorrects fault XD

[near kraken]

any one know why bot boot camp was removed?

[floral pollen]

Something about being able to get too much personal score towards CR or sumn, it'll be back soon

[near kraken]

you know how long?

[floral pollen]

No, prolly about a week tho I'd guess

[near kraken]

oh ok

[floral pollen]

They're fixing a programming thing, so that can take a while

[real hemlock]

I was actually wondering that too lol I used that mode to grind season rank

[floral pollen]

I played 1 match on it for CR lol

[real hemlock]

Lol they are really quick matches

[near kraken]

i would play it for fun when i was having a bad day in multiplayer

[real hemlock]

Lol I feel that

[floral pollen]

Just felt too cheesy to rank up in imo

[floral pollen]

I did the same thing lol

[real hemlock]

Yeah it took 2 matches to rank up once and each match was like 3-5 min depending on what mode ya got

[floral pollen]

Quick Play isn't a bad alternative, especially if you get Oddball
I've seen everyone on both teams get over 1k personal score before

in a single match

[near kraken]

have you guys gotten the weekly reward? how does it look?

[floral pollen]

Like it, other than the fact the helmet is all neon yellow

[tight remnant]

Pro tip, if you ever want to see what the weekly reward, just youtube the name and there's a showcase on it

[near kraken]

thats dumb i have 1 challenge left then i got after the weekly

[tight remnant]

I do like the coating

[smoky token]

i got the weekly but didn’t bother to take a look

[floral pollen]

I'd love if the helmet was any other color on the rest of the armor

[smoky token]

when is the next fractures event set to start?

[real hemlock]

I got it but haven't looked at it yet so I couldn't tell ya

[near kraken]

thanks for the tip!!!!!

[real hemlock]

Next week I think

[smoky token]

do we know how long of a pass it will be? 20 tiers? 30?

[floral pollen]

20 prolly

[real hemlock]

I think it says 20

Check halo waypoint

[near kraken]

wish there was more lvls to the fracture events

[floral pollen]

Well, there's 2 Tenrai events this season, so one can get a lot from that

[near kraken]

WHAT TENRAI!!!!!

IM SUPER EXCITED!!!!! i got all the rewards from the first tenrai event

[floral pollen]

Tenrai II is the second event, and Tenrai III is the last event

[real hemlock]

Yeah I know there is a new chest piece for the core

[near kraken]

are they going to release the tenrai wrist cosmetic?

[real hemlock]

You can see it if you look at the chest pieces

[near kraken]

yeah i saw it but figured it would go straight to the store

[floral pollen]

I slep now
'Night

[late cloak]

How does it still take 20mins to find another ranked match

[worthy ginkgo]

enjoi your rest slab

El papu maestro

[hearty cradle]

What is the fastest way to level up in the battle pass

I have all challenges always done

And always use xp boost

What playlist gives the most xp

[obsidian wyvern]

uhhh

it would be bot bootcamp ig, but that's gone for now

honestly just quick play

unless you know you can win every ffa match

[worthy ginkgo]

if you just use xp boosts constantly you should finish it pretty quick no matter what you play

[brazen coral]

is there a way to see the playerbase of MCC vs infinite

like active players

[worthy ginkgo]

no but you can see their rank on xbox most played games list right now Halo Infinite is at 15 and MCC is at 23

[brazen coral]

would that include people playin on pc?

[worthy ginkgo]

yes because PC still uses xbox network

[brazen coral]

do u know which halo is the most played on MCC?

[worthy ginkgo]

im happy to see they are both doing a little better then they were

no idk how to check but I think its Halo 3 thats the game its always easy to find a match in

[brazen coral]

ok ty

[worthy ginkgo]

no problem!

[brazen coral]

@worthy ginkgo would u say halo infinite is better than halo 3

and would u say halo infinite is the most competitive halo

woops, one of my friends said that all the people who play the old halos are stuck in the past

and that they dont feel good

[split niche]

they feel a bit iffy on controller

even on kbm it feels a bit odd

but the gameplay experience makes up for it

i dont enjoy playing old halos on multiplayer but the campaign makes up for it

[brazen coral]

would u say from a gameplay perspective, that infinite is like 3

[fickle drift]

hell no

[cobalt peak]

Your friend doesn’t speak for other people. He only speaks for himself

[fickle drift]

only similarity between halo 3 and halo infinite is that both campaigns are boring as hell

[worthy ginkgo]

I think the gameplay is similar at least in the equipment aspect but Halo 3 even though it was super amazing and I love it forever the gameplay does feel a little dated now I definitely play Infinite more often these days because the game play is modern and so good imo

and both campaigns are great not boring at all I really enjoyed the open word in Infinite

[brazen coral]

ah ok

[thorny glen]

I agree with this

[worthy ginkgo]

if someone didnt grow up playing it and can see how they would think Halo 3 controls feel sluggish

[thorny glen]

Saying they're similar cause both have equipment is like saying armor abilities are similar cause you can find them on the map lol

H3 and HI absolutely play nothing alike to

[worthy ginkgo]

they are the only two games to feature equipment thats not armor abilites

[elfin glacier]

[thorny glen]

It's definitely not the most competitive.

[worthy ginkgo]

no cod style loadouts or advanced movement with emphasis on map control and controling pwer weapons and items yes they are similar H3 inspired Infinite

[fickle drift]

be careful, you can speak out on bungie's games all you want, but things will end badly for you if you talk smack about 343s games 🤫

especially in front of a mod

[thorny glen]

Doesn't matter? I just told you why that doesn't make them similar. They don't even have the same abilities.

Infinite also has spartan abilities still, H3 doesn't.
You don't lead your shots in Infinite, you do in H3.
Infinite's game play is basically just Halo 5's but light & lacks everything that made H5's mp good lol

[stoic rapids]

oh boy

[thorny glen]

Everything you just said there applies to every Halo game ever made except reach arguably

[worthy ginkgo]

and halo 4 and 5

[thorny glen]

No lol h4 and h5 play heavy roles on map control and power weapon positioning

[fickle drift]

I played halo 3 for the first time in 2022, the control feels normal, just slow

[stoic rapids]

all mainline halo games have that bud

[thorny glen]

H5 specifically does it to such an extreme that it can be difficult for new players just to get into the game

[worthy ginkgo]

Halo 4 you can make your own loadouts lol not he same at all

[thorny glen]

Read everything I just said or did you reply to the wrong person

[worthy ginkgo]

Halo 5 has crazy advanced movement that makes it not really the same as the other games IMO

[fickle drift]

you can only make your loadouts on halo 4 and halo 5

oh

[thorny glen]

I don't think you realize that Infinite and halo 5 both share advanced movement abilities. So yea it is the same

[worthy ginkgo]

which is locked into limtied use equipment which makes it more of halo 3 style and they arent unlimited

[thorny glen]

You can only use loadouts in reach and halo 4, in h4 343i did attempt to balance it out tho unlike reach.

H5 you can't except in WZ but that's an entirely different system beyond loadouts

[stoic rapids]

no point in arguing with him bud

[worthy ginkgo]

not the same you cant spam it the only one ytou can is the curb slide and thats to make the game play feel modern

[worthy ginkgo]

all good im having fun lol

[thorny glen]

Clamber, and sprint aren't locked to equipment dude. The fact that equipment even let's you grapple hook around the map means it behaves nothing like halo 3's equipment btw.

[thorny glen]

Wym

[worthy ginkgo]

im talking more about the thruster

[thorny glen]

What about it
Still not h3

[worthy ginkgo]

its a pickup and limited use in HI

[fickle drift]

halo infinite and halo 3 have wayyyy different multiplayers

they're only similar if you compare them to H4 and H5

[thorny glen]

I'm assuming you aren't gonna address anything else I said either by this point so

[worthy ginkgo]

yes the equpiment is differnt but the fact its a pickup and stragically placed throughout the map makes it similar to Halo 3 if you control them well you have a better chance of winning

its inpsired by Halo 3 it isnt exactly Halo 3

[thorny glen]

And...?
Still not halo 3. Thrusters didn't exist in h3 as it is. Infinite's movement is also nothing like h3's.

[worthy ginkgo]

I never said it was Halo 3 its inpsired by it

how equpiment plays into map control is what makes it similar

[fickle drift]

equipment in halo infinite is good but its not that powerful

the only powerful thing is the overshield

[thorny glen]

At this rate I'm not sure you know what being inspired means here cause it's not what you were saying earlier

[worthy ginkgo]

Ya because they didnt want to put in anything that would stop the gameplay like bubble shield

[bronze breach]

Nerf overshield!!!!

[fickle drift]

there's the drop wall

[thorny glen]

Yes every halo game is inspired and has small similarities to the last one, that's kinda given for Halo at this point

[worthy ginkgo]

you can shoot it with 1 shot and disable it

[viral carbon]

Has 343 ever given sales on Halo Credits ?

[fickle drift]

nope

[worthy ginkgo]

if you have gamepass theres a little discount on them

[fickle drift]

not a sale tho

[viral carbon]

10 % is only a one time discount only tho

[thorny glen]

How did H4 or H5 turn out poorly? Last I checked they were major financial successes for MS.

Only one I'm curious about is Infinite cause it's the only Halo title that MS hasn't bragged about in terms of profitability or money made. They kinda just went silent about all that.

[worthy ginkgo]

at least they all have something different about them

[thorny glen]

A lot of people here would disagree me included

[viral carbon]

they should have at least 20% discount on halo infinite anniversaries like most games have

[fickle drift]

a lot of people would also agree though

you won't see them around halo discord servers though, since most of the 343 haters would not talk on 343 discord servers

[worthy ginkgo]

Ive had fun with them all!

[fickle drift]

or they would get constantly bullied by mutes and timeouts since "non constructive criticism", in the case of this server

[thorny glen]

Nah not really. A niche minority doesn't = majority.

If tons of people thought they were bad, they wouldn't of sold millions of copies and kept making MS money for years. H5 specifically retained it's population incredibly well

[worthy ginkgo]

I wish Infinite was getting the post launch support Halo 5 was

getting

[fickle drift]

its not a niche minority lmao

[worthy ginkgo]

they did pretty good with updating that game

[bronze breach]

They put their mental health first above making content for infinite. Halo 5 post launch support burnt them out

[worthy ginkgo]

Yeah thats understandable

[thorny glen]

I've heavily criticized Infinite about a lot of stuff and haven't ever had a issue being muted over complaining about the games issues. I did this with H5's campaign to.

Just don't insult and you'll be fine

[fickle drift]

and that's the issue, most 343 haters straight up insult the game, and imo its understandable

[thorny glen]

It is. The niche minority always tends to be the loudest, even when those ideals goes against what the majority of halo fans actually wanted

[bronze breach]

"...with a “priority zero” of team health and getting ourselves into a sustainable development rhythm so that we can deliver great experiences to all of you while maintaining a healthy work/life balance.

We know we need to deliver more content and more features more quickly. Staying true to priority zero means that sometimes we need to slow down in order to stay healthy and move faster later. But we’re also aggressively looking at ways to accelerate.

[thorny glen]

So..don't do that?

[fickle drift]

some of them refuse to stop doing that, since in their mind, 343 got their childhood ruined

[thorny glen]

To complain about a game you have to know it's mechanics and how it works. Just insulting it for no reason is why you have those issues

[thorny glen]

I've been playing Halo for most of my entire life (since 2002), I practically grew up playing it. Never ruined any of my child hood memories

[fickle drift]

it has been ruined for others though

[worthy ginkgo]

i literally started off by saying it was inpsired tho

[thorny glen]

How so? The old games didn't change, you can still go play them whether through MCC or on the original consoles.

I actually got a OG Xbox recently just to play Halo 1 & 2 like I used to when I was 3-7 years old lol

[fickle drift]

the issue is that their childhood franchise got ruined in their mind

[thorny glen]

I guess you could say "matchmaking no longer works" but realistically no online server last forever. Those are memories you can't revisit

[fickle drift]

343's halo games are way different from bungie's and they have a lot of changes that can be worse for people that enjoy bungie halos

[thorny glen]

And that doesn't make any sense cause it's not like 343i had done changed the lore or retconned them somehow

[fickle drift]

its not just the lore

[thorny glen]

343i didn't "remake" them did they?

[thorny glen]

Arguably no, they aren't 't that different at all.

[fickle drift]

halo 4's loadouts and art style change, halo 5's lootboxes and advanced movement mechanics, halo infinite's microtransactions and battlepasses

[thorny glen]

I enjoy bungie halos but I enjoy 343i halos more. They're just better experiences

[fickle drift]

and some people enjoy bungie halos more

and dont enjoy the 343i halos at all

[worthy ginkgo]

Here I am enjoying all the Halos haha

[fickle drift]

I enjoy all halos except for halo 4

[worthy ginkgo]

I can see why some don’t like it but I think the story was super good and really put me in my feels because I lost someone really important to me around the time that game came out and it really helped me process my feelings about it

[thorny glen]

Loadouts were introduced with reach so uh..yea
The art style change didn't ruin anything tho, and it still has a ton of call backs. You're also ignoring the fact that the art style changed alot from each bungie Halo title to.

Movement mechanics also changed a lot from every Halo title. H5's advanced movement improved Halo's game play to.

I fail to see how a mtx can ruin a video game franchise for you when Halo's always had some sort of MTX in it since Halo 2. Remember DLC map packs?

[thorny glen]

This doesn't ruin anyone's experience tho nor does it make a video game franchise bad

[thorny glen]

Which is a opinion but that doesn't ruin a video game franchise

[worthy ginkgo]

Only thing that really bothered me about the art style change is that elites looked more like brutes I’m glad they changed them back

[desert shale]

Where are the text channels for Halo 3?

[worthy ginkgo]

Im glad we don’t have map packs anymore they were cool but they spilt the player base because not everyone would buy them

[thorny glen]

Deleted, they decided to minimize them all into a single channel called #halo-discussion
You can also use #1076337363770417172 to for other things

[desert shale]

Damn. I got my Xbox 360 console ready to play with people.

[thorny glen]

Wouldn't you use the lfg chats for that

[fickle drift]

and you're ignoring that loadouts on Reach only change equipments,
the art style changed but the changes were not as drastic as halo 4

advanced movement being an improvement is subjective, a lot of people preferred the simplistic gameplay

The microtransactions were bad, but Halo 5's was straight up pay to win and Halo infinite made it so your customization was limited and the only way to get free cosmetics is through battlepasses

[thorny glen]

Idk why anyone keeps saying that. The elites definitely looked nothing like Brutes at all.

[fickle drift]

subjective

[thorny glen]

It's a fact. They don't look like Brutes

[worthy ginkgo]

They look big thick and sluggish not quick slim and nimble like the classic style

Halo Infites elites are how they should look and they share the same design language as the Bungie games

But that was the only thing that bothered me if you don’t agree all good no worries

I remember someone from 343 saying that wanted Master Chief to feel like a tank mixed with a fighter jet and I think they nailed that feeling in Halo 4 and 5

[thorny glen]

I haven't ignored anything.
Loadouts in reach changed weapons, types of grenades, and what armor ability you spawned with. Same as h4.

What you're forgetting is not every Playlist in H4 allowed for personal load outs.

Art style changes definitely were just as drastic. Last I checked H1 looks nothing like H2, and most of the stuff in H3 looks nothing like what they do in reach beyond a few reused models that use different textures.

H5 still had simplistic game play.

Oh God not this "p2w" nonsense lmao. H5's REQ's aren't p2w.

I still fail to see how any of this "ruins a video game franchise" for someone when the old games still exist. You haven't addressed that part and have been ignoring it this whole time, instead bringing up all these unrelated topics

[thorny glen]

H4/H5 elites are still slim, don't look sluggish, and are pretty fast. Infinite elites look small, way to small which didn't match how they looked in bungie titles.

[thorny glen]

Like can you address this already cause so far everything you said just seems like you dislike the new games, not that it ruined child hood memories lol

[worthy ginkgo]

Just watch the scene where fireteam Osiris kills jul m’dama and they look so sluggish in that scene

They don’t look small they look slim and quick and the brutes are also actually in the game and they look way bigger then them as they should

[thorny glen]

I mean they were ambushed and caught by surprise. Idk what you mean by sluggish tho

[thorny glen]

The elites in Infinite look smaller then Chief does, which makes no sense

[worthy ginkgo]

They aren’t though they are still bigger then Chief

[thorny glen]

The waistline says otherwise

[worthy ginkgo]

Compare that scene to how the elites move in Halo reach where they are so quick it’s basically like they are wearing roller skates

[thorny glen]

Reach elites definitely didn't move that fast lol

[worthy ginkgo]

Elites in Halo Infinte are on atkins I guess haha

[thorny glen]

In the cut scenes at least

In fact with how delayed the Spartans response is in general is one of the reasons why I consider it the worst halo title

[worthy ginkgo]

Which one?

[thorny glen]

halo reach?

[worthy ginkgo]

Ohh

[thorny glen]

There's a ton of reasons to dislike that game

[worthy ginkgo]

Ya sand box doesn’t really hold up to me all that well compared to other games

Firefight is awesome though

[thorny glen]

Why play reach firefight when odst firefight exist tho

[worthy ginkgo]

To fight elites can’t fight elites in odst

But I agree odst firefight is the better one

[thorny glen]

Yea you can 343i updated it

[worthy ginkgo]

No way I didn’t know that

[thorny glen]

You can fight h3 flood in it to now also

They did that a while back

[worthy ginkgo]

Cool! Haven’t played MCC in a little might have to try it out

[thorny glen]

I forget if those options exist in matchmaking still but the options do exist in customs

[worthy ginkgo]

Sick

I remember they put the BR in I wish the BR had just been in the game from release only thing that game was really missing

The odst pistol is awesome but not really the same

[jade gust]

I wish they had the silenced weapons alongside the non-silenced weapons in ODST when it originally released

Do also agree about the Battle Rifle, it's odd it was not a useable weapon in the game

[heady forge]

servers are an absolute disgrace this season

[candid solar]

Oh god, I know right? They're supposed to be malfunctioning constantly. I'm supposed to have time to complain, dammit.

The faux pundits keep telling me it's supposed to be an unstable mess but yet somehow just tweaking my misconfigured network on my end solved most of my problems. What will I have to complain about now?

[heady forge]

yea my friends have misconfigured networks too. all of them

shame really

[candid solar]

More likely than you might think.

[heady forge]

it's really not. Been doing this since 09

[candid solar]

Suuuuure.

[heady forge]

what a terrible excuse when you know it's their end

[candid solar]

Who said anything about an excuse?

I've gotten this game to work through a VPN in the Middle East with a sub-120 ping.

Stable with minimal jitter.

Unwired because Deployed USAF networks generally don't have Ethernet access for personal machines.

[heady forge]

Nah we just have misconfigured networks

[candid solar]

And I've gotten it to work on a crappy modem in the Boonies of Michigan with an even lower ping, still unwired.

So it's got to be something. It's unreasonable for me to assume it's just a luck thing because I'm not some crappily written Bungie character from 2001.

[heady forge]

different locations, ISPs, routers. in the same game with the same issues. it's server related

[candid solar]

I can say the same thing sans real issues. And every issue I have had to solve was fixable user-end so far.

[heady forge]

ok

[wild sleet]

Man why does it feel like I have to empty more of my clip to kill someone half the time

[candid solar]

Depending on the gun, that's normal.

Sniper Rifle's 50% of a mag with no headshots, AR's around 16ish shots, BR's about a third on a perfect but usually about 5-6 bursts to kill

[pine atlas]

if anyone has an idea for a solution any help is appreciated.

[obsidian wyvern]

for?

[pine atlas]

sorry i moved the mesages over to the support chat

[obsidian wyvern]

ah ok

[pine atlas]

menu's not loading/imagery for the menu's, as well as customization tabs also on pc

[obsidian wyvern]

just one question, which I've seen be asked a lot

are you in Florida using comcast

[pine atlas]

nope

maine,using starlink

[wild sleet]

Try relaunching Infinite to see if that fixes it

[obsidian wyvern]

alr

[pine atlas]

does not fix

many many things i have tried to no avail,support straight up told me they had no fix

[obsidian wyvern]

did you post anything in the support channel because I can't find anything under Ur name

[pine atlas]

https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1082827334891089980

i didnt make my own post

however this one is directly for my issue

[candid solar]

Wow, okay.

Camo is way too strong on last survivor

Only real issue I have with infection

[amber mirage]

Doesn't the last survivor have a giant marker over their head, though?

[candid solar]

Not if they have camo.

Which lasts longer than the countdown.

[amber mirage]

Is the camo a map pickup for them?

[candid solar]

Yep

[amber mirage]

Explains why I haven't seen it

[candid solar]

Just had a guy win two rounds because he'd grab the camo and camp and activate it when he's the last one alive

[pulsar cobalt]

Camo completely hides the last person

removes the marker on top of there head

[distant jay]

I’m still practicing my sniper skills

[bronze breach]

hi

[distant jay]

Hello?

[candid solar]

Real Emile fan would train in edgelord, not sniping.

Though, I suppose the two do overlap.

[vale terrace]

Hi all

[fickle drift]

Hey @bronze breach

Previewing some of the skins with the brxx lightfire model is making me wanna get it so bad

[vale terrace]

Just got an xbox today. Because I miss the nostalgia for all the halos

[stoic rapids]

might come with that cyber showdown 2 event

[restive plover]

Heh, nice.
Mine sits in the closet next to the Atari 2600.

I thought about opening and cleaning them out. I forgot how big the controllers were.

Do y'all think people rage quit less back in the day of wired large controllers?

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[vale terrace]

Yes I would

I mean wow

Been a playstation player for years gone bored of playstation want to play on another platform so got an xbox one s

To play

Because I absolutely miss halo

[candid solar]

I'm still PO'd at my parents for selling my Sega Genesis.

[vale terrace]

I cried the moment I booted up halo

[candid solar]

That's a little overdramatic.

[vale terrace]

It brings back so much memories

When I used to play it as kid

Back on the xbox original

[candid solar]

Then again, I drunk ugly cried at Forza Horizon 4's intro because it was so cool.

So what does that say about me.

[restive plover]

Heh, yea. Tough times.

[vale terrace]

Yh

The old times

I remember when I used to troll my brother with the kill ball on halo 3 forge omg funny as hell

[restive plover]

All the days of breaking out of multiplayer maps...

[vale terrace]

Oh and I won't forget the time he would always steal the banshee

I love that thing

To this day its still my favourite vehicle in halo

[candid solar]

I should reinstall the second-to-newest Shadow Warrior.

It had a baller railgun.

[vale terrace]

Lmao 🤣

I haven't even been playing halo infinite

[restive plover]

Which one is the second newest? I quit playing it.

[vale terrace]

I only play the master chief collection

[regal chasm]

Probably Shadow Warrior 2.

[vale terrace]

I barely know anything about halo infinite lol 😆

[restive plover]

The first Halo banshee is still my fav

[vale terrace]

I won't lie it was ok

But I like the halo 2 banshee

Because its realistic it would literally explode after u damage it enough

Halo 2 is the best in my opinion its the only halo u can duel wield needleers in

[restive plover]

Sooo true.
Halo 2 had the best version of the warthog, imo.

[vale terrace]

I'll agree with u on that almond

Ur right there

[candid solar]

I think it's literally called Shadow Warrior 2. It had a sort of power score system that sucked but the actual mechanics were pretty damn cool.

[vale terrace]

Did any of u do fusion coil trolling?

In forge

[restive plover]

Then i will have to play it.

[candid solar]

$30 on the MS Store

[vale terrace]

Basically get tonnes of the explosive barrels

[candid solar]

The 3rd is on Gamepass

[vale terrace]

Put them in an area and put vehicles near em

[serene lance]

Hello everybody, I’ve finished all halo infinte campaign missions and submissions in Legendary difficulty in coop but didn’t unlock the achievement, what’s may be wrong?

[regal chasm]

I tried the third installement but I really didn't like the pseudo doom gmaeplay shadow warrior 3 went for. Serie's kinda all over the place imo.

[vale terrace]

Does anyone want to play the master chief collection with me on oddball? Halo 3

[amber iris]

HALO!!!

[rotund ice]

my game wont open and just keeps crashing

[amber iris]

Anyone have time to load up a customs

[obsidian wyvern]

#1075989764026675210

[rotund ice]

thank you

[vale terrace]

I'll load one up if u want

[amber iris]

Ok awesome

I can’t play but I need someone to test something for me

[vale terrace]

Is oddball OK on master chief collection?

[amber iris]

No no it’s infinite

I need to test if a medal works

[vale terrace]

Ah oh

I don't even have that game lmao 😂

[amber iris]

Fair enough

[vale terrace]

No problem

Sorry

[amber iris]

I wasn’t logging onto infinite for a long while until season 3 dropped and I really had a nice time

You’re fine by the way

[kind warren]

🎶waiting Innnnnn the firefight lobbyyyyyy🎶

[vale terrace]

I'm looking for people to play master chief collection if anyone is up

[amber iris]

FIREFIGHT???

For infinite?

[kind warren]

....mcc

[amber iris]

I don’t know what season 4 brought

[amber iris]

oh

oOOOOOOOH

[bronze breach]

Cant talk about leaks on this server. Against the rules

[amber iris]

HOOOOOOOo

I’ve redacted my interest

[kind warren]

Hah. I will NOT post the link

[amber iris]

Don’t even worry about it, it never happened

What link? Link to what? A leak? No no leaks discussed here

In fact who are you have we met? I don’t think we’ve talked yet

[vale terrace]

I don't believe leaks

They are all false

An example gta 6 getting leaked it's all clickbait

[kind warren]

Ah true

[vale terrace]

I won't believe leaks unless they come from the developer

[bronze breach]

General rule of thumb, unless something comes from Microsoft or 343, dont believe anything.

[vale terrace]

Or they actually tell us or give us a trailer

[amber iris]

Right good point

[vale terrace]

Yh

[bronze breach]

I could say season 5 is coming.

Source: trust me bro

But for all we know season 5 could be axed!

[vale terrace]

I don't believe any of this bs. Because it's not even been announced

[amber iris]

This is true

[vale terrace]

The leaks are just opinions

[amber iris]

But what if it has merit?

Like some sort of proof that can be fact checked

[bronze breach]

Its just attention seeking and click baiting. Nothing more

[vale terrace]

And predictions which are not 100% true

They just like milking views on the Internet

[bronze breach]

Only proof you can get if you work at 343.

[vale terrace]

Yes

[amber iris]

I mean

[obsidian wyvern]

I've yet to get forest or streets on infection

[amber iris]

People accurately predict smash brothers characters by looking into files weeks before their reveals

[bronze breach]

And no 343 will ever risk their job to some content creator

[obsidian wyvern]

but I've got chasm so many times

[vale terrace]

But all employees have to agree to a policy that no info regarding future projects is to be discussed outside of the company or shared with the public

It's how all gaming companies work these days

[bronze breach]

Good.

[amber iris]

Streets sounds cool

[fading silo]

They don’t talk about fight club

[fickle drift]

Free?

[regal chasm]

Sometime I wonder if 343 doesn't voluntarily allow some leaks to happen to create some hype. Wouldn't be the first time a team does it.

[amber iris]

Still can’t get on but I’ll be able to like Tuesday

[bronze breach]

Also does anyone for some reason get the sticker section highlighted by default on mobile when selecting emoji?

It's annoying the hell out of me

[stoic rapids]

no

was speculating when the bundle might come out

[amber iris]

[vale terrace]

Yh

[stoic rapids]

I remember that forge leak, gonna go all tin foil hat and say that it was intentionally left in the insider version

[amber iris]

Yeah people had clear proof of forge before forge dropped

What if firefight really is coming and the same can be said

That would be considered good proof I’d think

[stoic rapids]

I wish I could talk about this further, but not here

[amber iris]

Yeah

I’ll drop it before I make my timeout record slightly worse

But I’d like to hold out the hope that firefight returns

So what came with season 4

I know about infection, the armor core, and some maps

[stoic rapids]

infection, career rank, 2 new maps: Scarr(BTB) and Forest(Arena)

some new changes to the shop

HCS bundles have rotated, coatings for all weapons + a BR model

it looks pretty nice

[amber iris]

Neat

I don’t spend money on infinite but I like to look at stuff

[stoic rapids]

not getting it since there's another model I want

[regal chasm]

When you think about it, manufactured leaks are the best form of advertising.

If the community react well, you launch it, if they don't, you can wash your hands of it since a leak is not an official announcement and you can alweays act like it was an old cancelled feature and not something you intended to release.

[stoic rapids]

a bunch of free events lined up as well

[candid solar]

Season 7 will be the first Trenchbird themed content pack for Halo Infinite. It'll have birds and enough references to mixed drinks to make anyone's head spin.

I am a pro leaker now.

[amber iris]

MONEEEEEEEEY

[stoic rapids]

Fractures are now treated as normal events ie 2 weeks, however it has 20 tiers still

[stoic rapids]

there's Tenrai 2 and 3

cyber showdown 2

2 "Narrative" events

there's one happening next wk

[amber iris]

Bro why can I use animated stickers but not animated emoji

[obsidian wyvern]

welcome to discord

[amber iris]

That’s really really stupid discord

[stoic rapids]

so arnd five events, if you count tenrai 2 and 3 as seperate things, 2 weeks each

[obsidian wyvern]

wait mason what was Ur name here b4

[amber iris]

Medge

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah

[amber iris]

It’s gonna stay my Xbox tag but I’m changing my name to my actual one in most places

[candid solar]

You can't use animated stickers that aren't from this server or universal to Discord.

[amber iris]

Yeah stickers outside of their respective server used to be entirely nitro features

Wait they still are

I’m thinking of something else I think idk

Anyways halo

Pretty good game

[candid solar]

I wish Unreal Tournament hung around.

Got done hella dirty.

[fickle drift]

This quantum translocator is pretty cool

[hearty flame]

Seriously, Epic had a good thing on their hands and decided to push all their effort into a long-unfinished BR

[thorn umbra]

Why can't i watch my match history from before S4? I can watch the matches during S4, but not the ones before S4.

[regal chasm]

I officially found the worst way to play the library.

Halo Chaotic Edition is a mod that make it so every time something dies, it multiply into 4 new enemies.

[prisma roost]

new battle pass pretty mid

[candid solar]

Game updated.

[cedar turret]

Legendary melee only

[shy spire]

Yep

[candid solar]

Honestly, the best reward of the new BP IMO is the bulldog and the coating you get for premium pass.

[prisma roost]

im just glad they brought back the zvezda mk VII with bleached bone

[candid solar]

That paint scheme is slick.

[shy spire]

Definitely

[haughty flume]

I need help I just started playing and I'm getting slammed by ppl using shields and I don't know how to use them or where to get them any help?

[obsidian wyvern]

what mode

[haughty flume]

I've been playing pvp

[obsidian wyvern]

not infection I assumeb

[haughty flume]

No not that

But like quickplay

People have these shields equipped but I don't so I gst slammed

[obsidian wyvern]

ok basics

headshots don't do any extra damage till their shields pop, so shoot their body until it goes, then you can go for the head

there will be a marker on the map saying overshield, it's an ability you can pickup to get extra shields

looks like a gold circle

[haughty flume]

Thank you

Do u Wanna play a match with me

[cedar turret]

Halo. Try not to die. Die a lot

[obsidian wyvern]

you from EU?

[haughty flume]

Nah east coast

[obsidian wyvern]

sorry nty, I can't be bothered dealing with lag today

[haughty flume]

I see a bunch of already made armor but how do I make my own complete new armour

[cedar turret]

Check the lfgs if you want to team up with other kids

[obsidian wyvern]

you go to customisation from the main menu

[grim shale]

[fickle drift]

can't lie i love the infection game mode it's so fun

[grim shale]

Ty for not lying

[fickle drift]

how are you finding it

[near tree]

Hey good luck and keep at it. It's a bit tricky to get used to at first, and the online scene can be fairly intense at times
Don't be afraid to use the weapon drills or bot boot camp when it comes back up

[amber iris]

GUYS I JUST GOT A COCA-COLA SIGN

It has like lights and stuff

It’s pretty nice

[near tree]

[near tree]

#lfg-campaign

[tranquil venture]

I'm looking for a player to play any game from halo master chief collection

[willow cloak]

Spicy Halo

[floral pollen]

I could play a little later if you'd like
I'm on in about an hour or so

[wild sleet]

I got an Achievement for Hijacking a Banshee during the Halo Reach Campaign but all I did was jump into a Banshee in customs

[haughty flume]

I would love to play with u thx

[floral pollen]

Np

[granite grove]

343, can we pleeeeeaaaase get the MK6 gen 3 armor core in halo infinite multiplayer soon?

[hidden mountain]

Does Infinite have good progression now and actual nice rewards for leveling?

[floral pollen]

Imo, Good progression, but its only emblems for rewards, and maybe somehtnig else for max rank

[vapid siren]

did you bother to read the pretty readily available blogs

[willow cloak]

Spicy Halo

[bronze breach]

hate skar

map is too compact and always get rushed

[floral pollen]

Haven't played on it, since I basically don't ever play BTB

[bronze breach]

raging right now because i basically got 14-13

enemy team keep rushing at me in packs

i try to run away

but die

[hidden mountain]

WHAT? only emblems for rewards??

[floral pollen]

Simple, don't have a skill issue

[hidden mountain]

im uninstalling the game smh

[hasty zinc]

ok

[floral pollen]

Yep..
Like, they don't look horrible, but its only emblems until possibly at least Hero (max rank)

[hidden mountain]

this is embarrasing

How can they not do this simple thing every single bungie game after CE did every new game

[hasty zinc]

Halo 2 had rank cosmetic unlocks?

[candid solar]

😕

Imagine uninstalling

[candid solar]

Ooooh, mask off.

How embarrassing.

[fickle drift]

best part about reach is driving forklifts

[candid solar]

Must've felt so clever for adding periods between letters.

[candid solar]

Put tuna on your pizza 😂

[vapid siren]

die

[candid solar]

Still think it's viable depending on tuna

[floral pollen]

No, no tuna pizza

[obsidian wyvern]

no

tuna is a no anywhere and everywhere

[floral pollen]

I agree with Hawkner on the tuna pizza

[vapid siren]

what is wrong with the brits

[candid solar]

Anyone who says no tuna ever, has never had proper tuna.

[candid solar]

They think it's all canned I bet

[hasty zinc]

I need to figure out a way to make an upscaled higher res version of

[candid solar]

[floral pollen]

I feel this a lot

[vapid siren]

illustrator image trace then upscale as avector

[candid solar]

It's why I've been muted about 4 times now

[regal chasm]

What even is wrong with canned tuna? Drinking the juice is the best part of it imo.

[hasty zinc]

I think you should leave

[floral pollen]

Same

[pulsar cobalt]

Canned tuna is nice

[hasty zinc]

did you miss the juice part

[candid solar]

[vapid siren]

suffer

[hasty zinc]

oh lord

[floral pollen]

I like tuna salads, and that's about it for me for fish

[vapid siren]

blotchy vector smirkle is now real and CAN hurt you

[hasty zinc]

I'm going to be sick

[pulsar cobalt]

Tuna on pizza is yum

[hasty zinc]

its perfect hawk, thank you

[floral pollen]

You are weird, and I do not agree

[bronze breach]

considering doing that since im raging too much in btb!!!!

[pulsar cobalt]

But with canned tuna you usually just tip the juice out or give it to the cats

[candid solar]

You have to make it a grand display.

[bronze breach]

getting mostly slayert matches... has the weighting been changed?

[floral pollen]

Then play arena, and don't have a skill issue

[bronze breach]

going to eat, hopefully that will calm me down... then back on btb

[candid solar]

So funny thing about those two marines who were swallowing glow stick stuff a few days ago

[floral pollen]

If you start raging again, don't say I didn't say something

[candid solar]

There's glass in glow sticks. That's what the crack is.

[bronze breach]

[winter flame]

I’m gonna hit onyx this season by using LB to shoot

[candid solar]

I mean that fluid is also toxic anyways but there's glass in it

[vapid siren]

@hasty zinc suffer

i will not be cleaning it up in the slightest this is what you get

[hasty zinc]

oh it's fine, the more cursed the better

I'm making a smirkle galaxy watchface

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL

[hasty zinc]

nice name hawk lmao

[floral pollen]

Something I've found that I love in Forge come S4
The directions that you don't have selected to move will be grey'd out

[hasty zinc]

I wonder if I should do analog or digital time

[floral pollen]

Digital imo, but you can do you

[hasty zinc]

makes it look like smirkle has a goatee

[floral pollen]

lol

[obsidian wyvern]

wait aegis fo you want the file used for that smirkle directly

do*

[hasty zinc]

nah this is fine

I appreciate it though

[obsidian wyvern]

alr

[hasty zinc]

ugh, it keeps crying about AOD

[pulsar cobalt]

i just thought during mid seasons they should do a mini battle pass that's free and 50 rewards the one like the winter update

but might not be feasible

[obsidian wyvern]

we got 5 events so it's between 50 to 100 more free items

[pulsar cobalt]

Oh wait yeah lmao

[hasty zinc]

they should do like a thing where you can play games with people online. You could have all these different game mode like things that you could choose from. Multiple players playing against each other

[hoary patio]

silly question here why they dont bring halo 5 to steam yet

[hasty zinc]

probably not worth the resources

[obsidian wyvern]

that sounds.. woah 🤯

[hasty zinc]

sound neat right?

[obsidian wyvern]

hell yeah

[hasty zinc]

they could even add like a scoring system so the team who gets the most points or kills wins

[floral pollen]

You could make millions, Aegis

[hoary patio]

that is sad to heard

they should port it to steam in the future

[hasty zinc]

I seriously doubt it will ever come to PC

it would take a lot of work

[bold aspen]

Fortnite

[bronze breach]

hit a KD of 1 on btb... finally

[obsidian wyvern]

WOO DARK

if you hit a kid of 1, I should be able to in rankedb

[bronze breach]

ofc!

[pulsar cobalt]

I haven't even touched ranked haha

[bronze breach]

same

[fickle drift]

I just realised they changed the rocks on high power

[pulsar cobalt]

I thought i was using the hazmat core but turns out i've been using the mark 7 core 😂

[smoky token]

@dreamy stirrup can you confirm or deny if this model was based on the NES Zapper

[dreamy stirrup]

no idea

[obsidian wyvern]

showed it to friends who don't play halo and their first thought was that too

[hasty zinc]

read the lore of the weapon model

and the name of the model lol

both mention the word light

and the zapper was also called a light gun

as well as the coating that was on the gun when they first showed it off

[pulsar cobalt]

very nice br model tbh

[hasty zinc]

yee

there is 0 doubt in my mind this is a zapper reference through and through

[smoky token]

the model is very simple too

[hasty zinc]

yeah

[smoky token]

good example of occam’s razor, I guess?

I could probably model that if I really wanted to

[hasty zinc]

the d-pad and SNES style buttons is also a neat touch

[cedar turret]

The scope seems more reminiscent of one of my gaming regrets

[pulsar cobalt]

i can't wait until the commando gets a weapon model

[hasty zinc]

yeah it's a blend of the super scope and zapper

[fickle drift]

.

[cedar turret]

Definitely not worth the 60 dollars if anyone wants to travel back to the 90s

[hasty zinc]

yeah a cheaper option to travel back to the 90s is buying California Raisins figures on ebay

I had a bunch of those

[cedar turret]

It was 60 dollars on release. I stole I mean saved money for that

Probably the second worst gaming purchasing choice if my life after the game gear

[hasty zinc]

you mean you didn't enjoy 20 minutes of gametime on 6 AA batteries?

[cedar turret]

But I was young and dumb (genius level intellect aside) and color was obviously better

[hasty zinc]

there are some pretty incredible game gear mods out there

I've watched a few videos and it's pretty neat how they upgrade them

[pulsar cobalt]

I can't wait to see what armour we get in the store next week

[cedar turret]

You got more than 20 minutes, but definitely not 3 hour trip to the family member your stuck with for the next three months

[hasty zinc]

I know I was just being hyperbolic

as a gameboy kid it was rough

having to play gameboy in the car at night by streetlights

[obsidian wyvern]

going into an ffa match halfway complete IS FUN

[pulsar cobalt]

i keep joining that spiteful guy haha always in my matches

[obsidian wyvern]

btb?

I saw he reached plat yesterday, do what he's at today

[pulsar cobalt]

Love wolves haha

[obsidian wyvern]

ah

lemme hope I'm not good enough to get him in my lobbies

[pulsar cobalt]

went 24-12 in love wolves haha

[livid nova]

How tf is the nintendo switch gonna run Arkham Knight

[hasty zinc]

resolution scaling

[autumn tiger]

no

i've rebooted so many times and it never works

[pulsar cobalt]

is the gold chopper a variant ?

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

it was one of the campaign bosses' chopper

[near tree]

I didn't even know this thing existed
Did they make a sequel to duck hunt or something? Why does it need batteries? Is it that much different than the zapper?

[livid nova]

Wish we could find it outside of that one fight

[obsidian wyvern]

games back to 2 ping

[livid nova]

I was playing infection and my ping went from 50 to 4000 in 3 seconds

[hasty zinc]

Duck Hunt 2: More Duck, More Hunt

[livid nova]

Im not joking

[fading silo]

I remember cabela’s dangerous hunts came with something like that

[hasty zinc]

I can't decide which coating looks better. I want to buy one

[livid nova]

My ping just skyrocketed for like 5 seconds then went back down

[livid nova]

I think either C9 or COL looks best

[pulsar cobalt]

What you want isn't it

[near tree]

I think c9 and faze look sick

You can wait to see what team wins the major, then buy theirs

[hasty zinc]

idc about that lol

just what looks best

even though I'll probably never use the coating in the bundle

I just want the BR model

[pulsar cobalt]

go for the orange one haha

[fickle drift]

^ best one

[hasty zinc]

which one is that

[fickle drift]

SSG

[hasty zinc]

done

man that looks good

[smoky token]

That reminds me of some sort of hard sci-fi spaceship

like from Elite or something

[fickle drift]

btw does anyone know the song when you get attacked by the elites on halo reach

winter contingency to be exact

[pulsar cobalt]

is that watchdog your using ?

[livid nova]

Its just part of the winter contingency song on the album

[earnest umbra]

new BR looks chunky

[fickle drift]

thanks, song go hard af

[fickle drift]

If anyone has the vibrant horizon weapon skin I recommend seeing what it looks like with this model it's quite interesting
