Need II mental gymnastics and plot armor.

Only way it works. Can't Thanos Ant Man this stuff.

[molten pelican]

I say give the spartan a cookie and some coffee

[candid solar]

Just got gold baby

[candid solar]

Things I can't say

[molten pelican]

deep

[timid crane]

Sad

Very very sad boi hour

My brain is working against meh

[wild sleet]

Mcc it is

[tight remnant]

I got killed by a translocator and that was wow.

[candid solar]

Oof.

[stoic rapids]

I like the quantam translocator

[wild sleet]

As soon as it gets cold & I start shivering a bit my movement gets wonky in Halo

I physically can’t aim

[forest lagoon]

I recommend investing in a hand warmer.

[uneven axle]

Halo mcc h2 anniversary is a joke

Banned for an hour cause it keeps disconnecting me in match making

It only does it in h2 anniversary

[rare cedar]

There's a rejoin feature

[candid solar]

Ghost

We can make up

Get soup with me, it'll be delicious

[uneven axle]

It doesn’t let me rejoin

Gives me the same death loading screen

[forest lagoon]

Trench... Maybe you should put down the discord for a bit. You're making no sense anymore and everything is like a drunk text that you might regret in the morning.

[candid solar]

Actually, me being nice is a sign that I'm sobering up.

I'm usually an exceedingly nice and happy drunk until I feel wronged.

[forest lagoon]

[candid solar]

:c

[forest lagoon]

But seriously

[candid solar]

I'm trying to say I'm being nice now dangit

[cedar turret]

Probably better to log off and sleep it off.

[forest lagoon]

And/OR say nice stuff about everyone here

[candid solar]

But I'm playing with halocircle.

I can't say the last word.

[forest lagoon]

But you can say nice words

[candid solar]

I am thought

You just can't see it

[forest lagoon]

Tell us how much you like us

[candid solar]

Only if I get one warning removed

Otherwise only the mods I know will get a 💗 emote

[forest lagoon]

Nevermind then. I was encouraging you to play nice and make amends with others here but I'm going to sleep

[candid solar]

I mean, I'm literally playing along.

[forest lagoon]

I'm not part of that game

[candid solar]

best join it then nerd

I'm a killer GM after all

:3

But no, I'm actually legitimately a nice guy when drunk, I lose my temper really easily when something weird happens. And I wish that wasn't the case.

And I hate saying it like that.

[forest lagoon]

So close

[candid solar]

Butyet

Not this server at least

Yeah, I get it.

Man I missed drunk trenchbird? Work sucks

[pale barn]

Hi

Uhm

[candid solar]

Hmn.

[keen sandal]

Hello

[rare cedar]

[candid solar]

He's better in VC.

[keen sandal]

Anyone know how to access seasonal cutscenes?

[smoky token]

You can look at them on youtube

I’m not sure if there’s a way to do it in-game

[keen sandal]

I kinda meant with my own Spartan within Halo Infinite

[smoky token]

leaving them post season would honestly just bloat the file size past what it needs to be

video files are large

Ah

no idea, sorry

[keen sandal]

no its ok. i wasn't specific enough. thats wrong on my end. thanl you for providing assistance tho!!

[candid solar]

I will

Likely regret my ramblings

But I will not deny them

Welp

[calm forge]

🤔

Interesting stuff

[candid solar]

Drunken Trenchbird says a great deal of dumb things.

He is of poor judgement, unless you are seeking his help or something beyond antagonizing him. Otherwise he's an overly helpful big softy.

[calm forge]

I don't know you but uh maybe you shouldn't use discord

Right now

[candid solar]

I'm actually sobering up right now.

Or have been for a hot minute.

[calm forge]

Go to bed man

[candid solar]

No.

[rare cedar]

Anyways

[smoky token]

I’ve heard that Spam - the product - is actually quite tasty

never tried it myself though

[rare cedar]

The smell is what gets me

[smoky token]

Was spam, as in email spam, named after the product?

[rare cedar]

[sullen carbon]

it originated as a prank where somebody spammed spam all in peoples e mails

or something like that

[wheat bolt]

The Halo community at 2am “what is spam”

[smoky token]

These are important questions, Simon

[pliant hatch]

Even the bots are going afk.

[rare cedar]

Did you put oil in them?

[wild sleet]

I need a break from MCC lol

[distant jay]

Making a forge map I looking for people to test it early access

[wheat bolt]

Big question Bungie or 343 i don’t think I spelled bungie right but go on

[distant jay]

Thanks

[smoky token]

looks like a navmesh issue

[smoky token]

what?

[pliant hatch]

only the finest oil, but I guess they just want max rank

[rare cedar]

[rare cedar]

343

[wheat bolt]

Who has better games Bungee or 343

[rare cedar]

I liked Bungie Halo, but current Bungie is not good.

[wet schooner]

[rare cedar]

343 Halo, took a minute to gain their identity and they nailed it for Infinite

[wet schooner]

[smoky token]

Difficult question to answer

[wheat bolt]

It’s because Bungee has no control it’s just 343 now at least for MCC

[smoky token]

Bungie has no control?

Bungie has more control now than they’ve ever had

Since old Marathon, at least

[wheat bolt]

Yes but they have no control over MCC since they sold Halo

It’s just 343

[rare cedar]

It’s been that way for almost 15 years now

[wheat bolt]

Yes unfortunately Bungee made the best games “in my opinion” reach and the oh halo 3

[smoky token]

Both good games

You know what they say, though

comparison is the thief of joy

[fickle drift]

https://youtu.be/_tH6DTlrUHY

an old bug

[wheat bolt]

Should I even click that

[fickle drift]

did it happen to anyone else?

[smoky token]

If you are experiencing issues, please report them to halo support

[calm fiber]

Please refer to the Halo Support site for additional information and/or to submit a ticket concerning any issues you may be experiencing.

https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[fickle drift]

no they are fixed now

it was an issue for me like 11 days ago

i just wondered if it happened to anyone else

[elfin glacier]

Ensemble Studios

[wheat bolt]

Ok now instead of companies let’s try games what’s everybody’s fav game

[elfin glacier]

im back

[rare cedar]

wb

[keen sandal]

Question, if thats ok

[wheat bolt]

Yes

[keen sandal]

as whole, how Good/Toxic is the community? i havent gotten involved in the Halo community much so i want to know what im stepping into

[worthy ginkgo]

There’s good and bad like every online community honestly

[wheat bolt]

Like he said but I’d say mostly good

[keen sandal]

Ive asked this channel and another, for a wider variety of responses. Im guessing the best option would be to just play around a bit and see what i think for myself

[wheat bolt]

I think this is the best but you do you

[worthy ginkgo]

Ya the good parts out weigh the bad and I love seeing the creativity of some fans especially when it comes to them making their own armor/art etc.

[wheat bolt]

Warning you’ll see a lot of Craig memes lol

[worthy ginkgo]

And I feel like a lot of negativity comes from a place of caring and just wanting the games to be the best they can be which is totally understandable

[wheat bolt]

Yes exactly

I couldn’t find a way to word that thank you

[worthy ginkgo]

No problem ghosty boi

[elfin glacier]

ehhhhh I don't think wanting the current/latest game to die is that
and yes it's an actual sentiment i've seen enough to know it's not just a few people

a lot of negativity comes from a place of negativity lol

[keen sandal]

im not really sure what to think. ive seen the creativity, from scary maps and backrooms themed maps to goofy stuff like family guy and minecraft. and then ive come across PVP people who make me want to do some not so nice things with my controller. but ive never gotten truly involved with the community by interacting with them directly

so i never really knew what to think

[elfin glacier]

the forge peeps are definitely on the more chill side

[wheat bolt]

Yes

[elfin glacier]

look up 'RedNomster' on youtube. Guy makes some sick af stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vaXhPbhBTw @keen sandal

no mods, all in vanilla infinite forge

[keen sandal]

thank you. i'll check it out when im not tired from staying up lol

[tight remnant]

It'd be fun to grind LSS.

[fast dune]

infection

[worthy ginkgo]

Yea I see that too but I think feel like thats because a past experience with a halo game was so gooood to them that they don’t want it continue if it won’t be like that which I think is a very selfish sentiment it’s just entertainment you can stop engaging with it whenever you want

[keen sandal]

they took away Bot Arena 😭😭

[tight remnant]

I want to telefrag someone

[elfin glacier]

chiron tl-34 awaits

[stoic rapids]

will come back once they fix the issue with the player score in bot bootcamp

[worthy ginkgo]

They are fixing it it gave too much career progress lol

[keen sandal]

who even cares about career? just let me level up my battlepass and play the game at my pace😭😭😭

sorry that was a little too angry. i just want bot arena back..

[worthy ginkgo]

itll be back dont worry !

[keen sandal]

im about to re-enact the ending funeral cutscene for halo 3 but instead of 117 written on the pelican wing, Bot Arena will be written on it instead

[worthy ginkgo]

were it so easy

[worthy ginkgo]

very true

[keen sandal]

i just hope that more positive stuff comes for halo infinite.

[worthy ginkgo]

Do you like season 4 so far?

[keen sandal]

only a little bit. i like how infection has iratus break out and control spartans, but i think infection should have been flood based or disease based since the Hazmat core came out

[worthy ginkgo]

makes sense if the flood would come back though I would want it to be a major story event in a game and not just a multiplayer story thing

[obsidian wyvern]

the flood are boring

[worthy ginkgo]

idk the flood is fork lift certified i dont think thats boring

[keen sandal]

the flood would be forklift certified. by either infecting someone who is forklift certified, or infecting the forklift test giver

[worthy ginkgo]

exactly haha

[keen sandal]

me personally, before noble 6 died, she (that was my choice of gender for 6) gave me her forklift certificate, so now im forklift certified

[worthy ginkgo]

congratulations we will watch your career with great interest

[candid quail]

ey yo when they buff the mangler

feels tight atm, is there less drop?

[winter flame]

they didnt change anything

same as launch

[stoic rapids]

aside from the mangler nerf that hit arnd season 2 launch

don't think there were any changes for it

[winter flame]

well it was a 10% melee nerf to all weapons, not really a mangler nerf

[stoic rapids]

but kinda killed the whole one shot melee kill

I kinda appreciated that since next season, LSS had mangler as one of the earlier tiers

[winter flame]

fair

and yah overall prefer the weaker melee i think

[stoic rapids]

it kinda was the BXR for infinite

[winter flame]

still waiting for the bayonet on the BR in ranked to show its a bladed weapon with the 10% melee buff lol

[stoic rapids]

hm

[bronze breach]

Whelp going to have a £60 lunch in a few hrs lol

[obsidian wyvern]

whew rich guy

[fickle drift]

£60!?

bit flash isnt it?

[winter flame]

Domino's with 6 friends? £10 a pizza?

[pulsar heron]

Why spend £60 at dominos when you can get a Large half and half with any 4 toppings per side for £7.99 each

[bronze breach]

Sorry just came home lol

Big appetite xD

I'm going to a grill house in my town lol to celebrate my sisters finishing exams xD

[wild sleet]

BTB maps in 4v4 nah chief that ain’t it

[winter flame]

back in the halo 3 days small BTB maps were used for social 5v5

Valhalla, Last Resort, High Ground, etc

now in MCC they are all either 8v8 or 4v4, High Ground went 4v4 and it just aint the same

[bronze breach]

I wonder if the titan sub, tried to come back to the surface, the moment they lost contact

[pale barn]

Hi

[winter flame]

submersible experts think it lost contact because it imploded

[bronze breach]

I think that's the case. The moment they reached a certain level, I think the hull cracked and insta imploded

[queen remnant]

Omg the BXR? Like the BXR-55 Battler from Destiny in the DLC 30th anniversary? That one?

[winter flame]

i just saw one of the funniest REAL interactions in Halo game on r/halo

[pale barn]

Is anyone going to say atleast hi to me

[winter flame]

Hi Luigi

here's something just for you https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/14i29r3/had_a_good_chuckle_after_this_random_interaction/

[queen remnant]

LOL

[winter flame]

it just gets funnier every time i watch it

[bronze breach]

Also an apparent quote from phil at the FTC hearing on the activison takeover.

"PlayStation uses the money they make off of Xbox Games on PS5 to pay for other games to block on the Xbox Platform"

[winter flame]

idk why they dont just both agree to chill out with acquisitions and exclusivity deals

[pale barn]

Yeah

[queen remnant]

Money

[winter flame]

they did a deal to share cloud gaming tech a few years back, idk why they became so hostile all of a sudden

Google was so scary ig and now that threats gone

[bronze breach]

Because sony dont want Microsoft to one up them.

[winter flame]

but I mean Xbox started it back in the 360 era

COD DLC for 360 first iirc?

[pale barn]

I mean 360 was gold

[bronze breach]

Maybe the reason I got rejected from paralegal roles at playstation is that they found out I'm an xbox player

[winter flame]

Nvidia is the big winner rn getting Game Pass back on GeForce Now lol

[bronze breach]

[queen remnant]

Time to wait for maybe the next year to play the new Final Fantasy because it is exclusive only on PS5

[bronze breach]

Next sony will make destiny playstation exclusive

[pale barn]

Im tired of the war that xbox and play station have like i mean cant you just live in peace

[queen remnant]

Thankfully Bungie got the whole being independent but with Sony money, that's why Marathon is multiplatform too lol

Bungie is just there to help making ''live service games'' for Sony basically

[bronze breach]

You should have seen the starfield playstation exclusive petition. A real disgruntled sony fan mad that its xbox exclusive

It's pretty funny. Dont know if its still up. One sec

[queen remnant]

Tbh thank god, because at least I can play starfield on PC lmao

[bronze breach]

Yeah its still up, go have a read. It's pretty funny

[winter flame]

well Sony can let Nvidia put GeForce Now on PS5 and then they can play Starfield at 60fps with a Gamepass PC subscription 😄

[queen remnant]

But what about their cloud service Playstation Now

(it's not happening because Sony is like that basically)

[bronze breach]

Here is one reason..

"First, Xbox exclusivity would not only hurt PlayStation but also the player base. When a major game like Starfield is only available on Xbox, it limits the player count of the game and stifles the amount of players PlayStation has. This means that now Microsoft can charge higher prices because they dont have competition and take away players from Sony. We CANNOT allow this"

[queen remnant]

That petition is insane

[winter flame]

I could actually see Sony and Microsoft both agreeing to let 3rd party cloud gaming services on their consoles at some point

[queen remnant]

Instead of asking being multiplatform no, they want full exclusivity lmao

[pale barn]

Imagine spiderman xbox game only if playstation and xbox weren't in a war

[bronze breach]

Next they will ask for halo to be a playstation exclusive

[pale barn]

No

[winter flame]

"Give Bungo back their IP now!!!!"

[bronze breach]

👍

[winter flame]

is their not a petition to force Bungie to make Marathon PS exclusive

[tired bolt]

Gm chat how's it going?

[winter flame]

Gm its going good

[bronze breach]

Probably not lol

[tired bolt]

🤣

[pale barn]

Yeah

Alright

[fickle drift]

Gm

[wild sleet]

Afternoon going alright just slaying in Halo 3 trying to get back into it after not playing MCC for months

[winter flame]

what was the BTB map you got 4v4 on

[wild sleet]

Standoff

[winter flame]

oof yah

[pale barn]

Bye guys im gonna go play on my nintendo switch for a while

[winter flame]

Standoff is probs a 5v5 map similar to High Ground but 4v4 would be a drag

[wild sleet]

We almost won it but my team apparently doesn’t have a radar

[tired bolt]

Huh no radar?

[wild sleet]

Radar was on but you got those players who never use it

[fickle drift]

eh?

ohhhh i know the type

[tired bolt]

Oh ye that sucks

Have that alot when I played it

Can't play it now don't have a xbox

[obsidian wyvern]

i still dont have audio for people behind me, 2 seasons on

[winter flame]

the only solution i've found is to turn down hit detection sounds so you can turn up all audio

for some reason the death sound is really dang loud

even at like 2 you can hear the hit detection sounds no problem

not sure why they blast your ears out by default

also turn voice down because that's gonna drain out everything when Jeff or your AI is speaking

[wild sleet]

You can turn down hit detection damn I need to do that

[obsidian wyvern]

I can hear footsteps to my side perfectly fine, it's just audio from behind is nonexistent

[cedar turret]

That’s useful information.

[wild sleet]

Would I make a poor decision to drink a monster at 9pm lmao

[winter flame]

if you're using "Windows Sonic" spatial audio try disabling that

[coarse jackal]

Sup

[grim dawn]

Howdy

[pulsar cobalt]

Like recon said disable it if it's on

[forest hedge]

HALO 2

[fickle drift]

I find turning audio to compressed is better

[molten pelican]

hello there

[merry stag]

General Kenobi

[molten pelican]

pew pew ahh fast light poles move very fast many scary hurt

[merry stag]

Lol

[wild sleet]

Need to clean my controller, paddles & Thumbstick got a bit of controller gunk

[quiet edge]

Is it me or does infinite now not give you all the maps to play anymore? They keep spamming with the new map. It's so annoying I quit every time. I literally played the nee map 8 times in a row.

[wild sleet]

Heard they upped the chances of getting the new BTB map unless you’re talking about the Forest map

[quiet edge]

I noticed every time they give us a new map the spam us with it. I haven't played behemoth sense season 2. Once or twice in season 3. But the old maps are basically non existing.

[winter flame]

new maps have higher weighting and some older map-mode combinations are removed

some map-mode combinations removed last season are back

[wild sleet]

Is the Forest map any good for 4v4 i only ever got it on Infection

[winter flame]

its aight

[fickle drift]

I find it's really hard if you have bad teammates

[winter flame]

get the impression cliffhanger and forest are infection maps first though

[fickle drift]

Coz its so big they have no idea where to go

[winter flame]

i find big maps are okay if its super easy to transverse across them

like forest is big but unless you're just circling the map, its not hard to find the enemy

[wild sleet]

That & enough cover as well, reason why I wasn’t a fan of Behemoth

[winter flame]

cliffhanger is much more problematic for cover then forest

cliffhanger is so dang bad for AR slayer because it snowballs in favour of whichever team gets precision first

personally would not put BRs on cliffhanger at all

[wild sleet]

1 Flag on Cliffhanger is pain

[winter flame]

with Chasm I think they added an additional BR/Commonado pad to either base

which ig is a solution but that that point why not just make that map BR spawns

or just remove BRs from the map completely

Sometimes it feels like 343 just stick to a formula too much. every map must have symmetrical BR pads etc

[wild sleet]

I feel this, this should apply to BTB as cause man if you have a bad Hydra spawn it’s game over

[winter flame]

i think they should just do fixed spawns

stop randomly changing stuff

fun experiment but it hasn't worked well and its just hindering their ability to balance the sandbox

[wild sleet]

I agree with this, like I get what they’re trying to do make it seem fun but it really messes with the Sandbox

[winter flame]

yeah especially in BTB where you have weapons far better at countering vehicles then the other weapon that can spawn on the same pad

like shock rifle vs stalker

[smoky token]

this is hilarious and a perfect example of the Black Forest theory

[wild sleet]

Highpower is probably the worst map when it comes to weapon Pads, there’s a higher chance of the weapons that counter Vehicles are where the action is

Want the Hydra, you’ll have to walk right in the open for it

[winter flame]

yah i cant even really judge that map because it just feels like each time you play it, its a completely different experience depending what weapons are where

when you have a lopsided match its almost always because of poor weapon selection on pads, meaning the team that controls the map and thus gets the weapon drops snowballs

[wild sleet]

On the Red side if you get the Ravager or Commando spawning on the top of the base, Hydra is going to be next to the Man Cannon or between the rocks on the left side, the same with the Battle rifle.

Blue Side literally the best side because there’s more cover, less open & weapon pads are much better

Like don’t get me wrong, the map is unique, but it just does not play well with the random Weapon pad spawns

[left bone]

aaaand wh

this is strange

is it me or is bot bootcamp is removed?

[bronze breach]

Highpower needs a rework. One side has grapplehook, other side has power weapon. How is that fair lol

[pulsar cobalt]

it was removed should come back though

[left bone]

i hope

that one little gamemode loves to be taken away

just like taking candy from a baby

I’m perpetually in the same situation on The Maw

can’t beat par score on that one for some reason

[steady jolt]

Bring back your caps lock as well please

[near tree]

Mega oof
Shoulda just shot one more ungoy, or won a bit faster

But some of those par scores are hard

I don't think I got very many

[wild sleet]

We get a hot & they get a Tank in BTB, y’all definition of balance really goes right out the window

[fickle drift]

How are we all doing?

[fickle drift]

doing good, just started the masterchief playlist on mcc. you?

[inland marsh]

we REALLY shold get some sort of xp for playing forge and customs. It makes no sense that for playing your game, you get absolutely nothing. I have dropped around 1000 hours since S3 on forge alone and just you get nothing

[bronze breach]

No. Because it can be farmed

[inland marsh]

and?

people are still playing Halo

and those who spend days and weeks creating content for other players at least recieve some recognition for playing Halo Infinite \

[bronze breach]

Farming and easy levelling bad.

Why do you think bot bootcamp got removed? Because of high xp gains in little amount of ti.e.

[obsidian wyvern]

then it's not a real show of career progression lol

if someone is just there in a custom swat getting 100 points per second

[inland marsh]

they arent going to get the same amount of xp per game as they'd get in matchmaking

[bronze breach]

Yeah exactly. People can create a very simple mode to farm progression

[winter flame]

if you want they could do a token amount of XP for completing any match like reach had, it was completely pointless though

[inland marsh]

at least in Reach you gained a small amount of credits per customs

[winter flame]

it was nothing

[bronze breach]

Might as well make afk count to progrssion too. 👍

[winter flame]

token XP is a pointless waste of devs time to implement imo

[inland marsh]

even if people try to 'boost' in customs. They are still playing Halo. They are still interacting with the other players.

ya know, playing the game socially then making friends to then go play actual matchmaking in

[bronze breach]

They could add an xp limit of 500xp per day with a minimum of 30 mins of match time for forge.

But monitoring match time Might be problematic

[inland marsh]

how so?

[bronze breach]

I dont know, maybe technical reasons they cant do it. Beats me.

Only reason I can think of

Infinite does not really have time based challenges so it could be a bit difficult to implement

[inland marsh]

500 or 1000xp per day in forge would be excellent. it'll take 200 or 100 days and you'll max the battlepass if you just used customs/forge alone

thats a pretty good number considering seasons are 3 months or so. roughly 90 days.

even if someone afks in forge, surely after day 5 they'll actually get intersted in actually fiddling around with the tool. its a good incentive to get players using the mode and custom games feature the devs put so much time into making

because at the moment the whole customs game browser is dead. I mean completely dead. usually 3-6 lobbies running which arent even full. Why are players not using the customs browser? becuase there's no reason to. you get nothing out of it

[winter flame]

anything you can do afk is problematic imo

just from an environmental angle

rewarding people for leaving a game running doesnt seem right

you would have to stop rewarding when they are afk and then detect afk macros

its tricky

i agree in principle with the idea of a customs/forge reward with a daily cap

[inland marsh]

environmental? bro the game is borderline dead. it scrapes barely 5k players on steam. At this point having anyone playing is better than nothing

[winter flame]

but its so easily gamed by macros

[obsidian wyvern]

I see your point but I wouldn't call infinite dead at this point

[winter flame]

people passively grinding XP is not better then nothing

[stoic rapids]

levelling and BP is for matchmaking

[pulsar cobalt]

Game isn't dead lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

didn't it make it to the top 10 again on Xbox

[winter flame]

i would much rather people dont passively grind XP not leave their PC or console running for no reason. people having the game open does not benefit anyone

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[winter flame]

inflating a Steam's stats is not helpful

[pulsar cobalt]

It did yeah its now at 26th on most played

wouldn't call a game that's 26th a dead game lmao

[inland marsh]

tell that to the hcs streams. it's artificially inflated by the drops requiring 1 hour of watchtime

[stoic rapids]

shows how much people who still play actually care to get those skins

[faint mantle]

Career progression for Forge building is such a niche topic I don't really think it's going to matter

[pulsar cobalt]

and pretty sure it was 3th or 4th on trending

[winter flame]

Just because Twitch does something doesn't make it right lol

Twitch could probably stop drops progressing when its muted etc if they wanted

[inland marsh]

because it's niche, the players who devote their time into learning it, playing it, and putting weeks of effort into it should recieve nothing from it?

[winter flame]

i suspect Twitch's algorithm knows fake viewers and doesn't boost a stream in the algorithm based and them anyway

[obsidian wyvern]

you aren't playing it by the looks of it lol

[faint mantle]

No, because it's not doing anything for those playing MP

Career rank is supposed to reflect your time in matchmaking

[inland marsh]

but they're still playing 343's game?

[pulsar cobalt]

When are you people gonna learn steam doesn't count for the playerbase lmao

[faint mantle]

^^

[stoic rapids]

it's called recommeded tab and it getting into matchmaking if it's good enough

[winter flame]

ideally a system that tracks what you are doing in customs / forge and can identify that you're not using a macro could reward you up to a cap of say 500xp but I just dont think its worthwhile

[fickle drift]

bruh my game crashed while i had a rocket and a skewer 🥲

[inland marsh]

why does it only have to represent time in matchmaking? it easily can represent time into 'Halo Infinite'

[obsidian wyvern]

if all you do is play forge, idk why you care about career rank anyway

[left bone]

career ranks are nothing to me

[inland marsh]

barely anyone looks at the recommended tab. or even play said games in the tab. just look at custom games, it's dead

[left bone]

i just wanna progress through battlepasses quickly

[stoic rapids]

then why would one care about a rank or BP in a dead game?

[winter flame]

tbf infection just released, i imagine customs will pickup now people can host proper customs infection lobbies

nobody needed an incentive to play infection in halo 3's days and we had to actively find other players

[left bone]

ahyuk

[winter flame]

imo the absolutely peak of halo customs was halo 3

[pulsar cobalt]

Halo 3 customs were the best times

[inland marsh]

because they still want to get things for playing this game. career/battlepass xp are only tied to the multiplayer. literally nothing else

[obsidian wyvern]

there's like, no rewards for it anyway

it's just emblems and nameplates

[stoic rapids]

but it's dead no?

[inland marsh]

the actual cosmetics from the bp

[left bone]

"we want a progression system!!"

"nvm, this is lame!!"

[winter flame]

im satisfied with the progression system 😄 feels like a complete halo game now

[left bone]

halotubers say otherwise

[obsidian wyvern]

still needs better rewards over whatever the hell we have rn

[pulsar cobalt]

Alot of people like the progression system it just needs rewards

[winter flame]

the rewards are in the Battle Pass which is based on the same progression - XP

[inland marsh]

ahh so it's important to give players rewards for playing the game now?

[stoic rapids]

bandaid fix could just be: take a store bundle and split it up between the ranks

wouldn't mind if we go one week with a repeat

[winter flame]

im all for a reward for hitting certain ranks, but lets not act like there isn't rewards for playing the game and earning XP already

[stoic rapids]

BPs are a progression of levelling systems tbh

[pulsar cobalt]

Tons of rewards already recon

[left bone]

aauaaagggghhh

[winter flame]

each tier could have a reward but anything more then that is asking too much when you have a BP each season and events. It would basically just come at the cost of the BP

[inland marsh]

there isnt any reward for playing forge or customs or campaign (bar the one time cosmetics which after getting there is 0 incentive too play again)

[pulsar cobalt]

Why would there be rewards for forge and customs lmao

[inland marsh]

why shouldt there be?

[lavish matrix]

Forge and Customs are exploitable, which is why rewards generally aren't tied to those

[inland marsh]

then you put a cap on the xp earned per day?

[lavish matrix]

then people would complain about the cap

[stoic rapids]

and the cosmetic rewards for forge are in the form of the unicorn emblems or the master builder coating + visor

[novel tangle]

you cant please everyone

[inland marsh]

that's when it's unreasonable

[stoic rapids]

no matter whatever cap there is, it's still extra xp being cheesed

[lavish matrix]

your definition of "unreasonable" may not be the same as someone else's

[inland marsh]

yes, but something is better than nothing

[winter flame]

on pc you could literally have a macro that runs automatically when you're sleeping and grinds to the cap and people would do it

[lavish matrix]

yep

[inland marsh]

like said earlier 500xp or 1000xp per day cap

[left bone]

ooieeoeuhoeoieuehou

[lavish matrix]

just play mp, you'd get about that much xp for a mediocre/bad match anyway

[stoic rapids]

why should you feel rewarded for just playing forge? I don't understand, must you be rewarded for every single thing you do?

[winter flame]

iirc there's a daily bonus for playing one game that means you can play once a day and get through the pass with ease

[lavish matrix]

that's what I did

[obsidian wyvern]

pop a double XP for game 1 and that's 1 tier a day

[left bone]

sounds kool

[lavish matrix]

one match per day. in bot bootcamp, mostly

finished the bp with like 3-4 weeks to spare

[stoic rapids]

play 2 or 3, 1 tier per day

[lavish matrix]

nah

[left bone]

bruh

[lavish matrix]

i played the minimum cause i didn't actually like playing

[stoic rapids]

either way 500 xp is very generous

[left bone]

same here

[stoic rapids]

for one game, just wish there were more dailies to do

[left bone]

daily challenge: go outside

[stoic rapids]

or weeklies since once you finish them it's just a slog to get through the rest of the week

then again match xp gives you a base 250xp for arena matches with the premium bp

[inland marsh]

true true. minimal viable product is what this game needs to survive. how dare it be generous to it's players

[pulsar cobalt]

Heh is waiting for his PVE modes whenever they come 😂

[winter flame]

how much IRL XP do I earn

[lavish matrix]

i'm not waiting anymore, i uninstalled

[near tree]

Wait, then why did you want to get through the bp? Lol

[lavish matrix]

obligation

[pulsar cobalt]

You will be back once they come

[lavish matrix]

habit

if they come, and if they're good

[left bone]

touching 1 blade of grass gives you 1xp

standing under the sun gives you 50 xp

lawn mowing gives you 100xp

[obsidian wyvern]

waiting on anything in infinite will takes months at least

[lavish matrix]

lawn mowing may give you 100xp but you can also probably get $10

[inland marsh]

that's hilarious if a moderator to Halo's official discord uninstalled the game because it's boring

[obsidian wyvern]

over a year for infection and they dropped the narrative for it

[pulsar cobalt]

you do know they not devs and just volunteers right 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

people have different tastes, SHOCKER

[lavish matrix]

moderators not being pure shills for halo? blasphemy!

[left bone]

thats!..
i dont have a word for that

[obsidian wyvern]

ngl I'm surprised I even stuck with infinite for this long

[pulsar cobalt]

Just because they are mods here doesn't mean they have to play the game lmao

[inland marsh]

that's a dig at the game. not you.

[left bone]

but

i wonder if a spartan feels pain once you put the flaming armor effect on

[stoic rapids]

I know a guy that's a discord mod for a server of some youtuber they dislike

[left bone]

"MY HEAD IS BURNINGGG"

[pulsar cobalt]

Because you know its got huge potential

[obsidian wyvern]

the potential chaos

https://tenor.com/view/troll-troll-face-gif-25116980

[left bone]

we do a little trolling

[obsidian wyvern]

there's just nothing else I enjoy playing lol

[lavish matrix]

the key is that I can be respectful and constructive even when I have problems with the game

[stoic rapids]

either way, the youtuber doesn't really talk much in the discord, from what I've heard

[left bone]

a duck walked up to the lemonade stand and said to man, running the stand

[obsidian wyvern]

it's like that one dude who became really trusted in the biggest LGBT server on discord... and then deleted it when he finally got owner. took a few years iirc

[lavish matrix]

...

what

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm not saying I support it, it's just what happened to clarify

[lavish matrix]

what does that have to do with anything?

[obsidian wyvern]

with the dude who didn't like the guy he moderated for

[left bone]

im scratching my head

[obsidian wyvern]

n v m

[lavish matrix]

it's odd your mind went to that example

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah fair

[lavish matrix]

but you've said odd things before so i guess i shouldn't be surprised

[pulsar cobalt]

Infinite is probably the best game for me since 3 and that's why i've stuck with it and the gameplay is just solid

[obsidian wyvern]

🤔

[stoic rapids]

see you in s5

[left bone]

ouaaagh

[lavish matrix]

bruh you didn't even see me in seasons 1-3

[obsidian wyvern]

I like the gameplay, I just don't like how long it's taken for them to implement everything that should've been there around the start

multiplayer wise anyway, I dislike the campaign

[pulsar cobalt]

Well that happens when management is a mess haha but it seems like they got there head in gear now which is really good

[stoic rapids]

the argument "should've been here at launch" is abit overused at this point, I understand there a bunch of things that should've been at launch, but it feels like it's being used to downplay any new feature that has been implemented

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm not talking about anything new

[stoic rapids]

I'm just saying, not really directing anything specific to you, just the phrase "should've been there around the start" made me think about that

[lavish matrix]

this discord is just a bunch of the same phrases repeated ad nauseum

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[obsidian wyvern]

it's somewhat justified though

[lavish matrix]

"iconic"
"should have been there at launch"
"dead game"
"bungie"
"it's somewhat justified though"

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Heh. you forgot the noble in a cave one also

[stoic rapids]

I understand that but it's just that I've heard it so many times, it has just become annoying

[verbal salmon]

why we cant stream in this server >

[lavish matrix]

everyone asking if Noble 6 in a cave, but no one asking if the cave is a natural formation

[left bone]

they actin like them pokemons

repeating them words!

[obsidian wyvern]

I get that, constant negativity puts me off from certain places. that's why I don't always.. try not to always.. act like that

[lavish matrix]

you can post links to your halo live streams in #1076327824924872755

[pine cloak]

has anyone else noticed that the season one HCS armor coatings appear in the M8 armory?

is there a way to obtain them yet?

[winter flame]

as much as I like Assault and think it needs to come back, I would say the game is as of S4 in a good state with probably the only major cavitate being the network stability

[stoic rapids]

no, only realised now since you'd pointed them out

[solemn spear]

yo how do I forge with halo infinite on pc? I only use mouse and keyboard and I don't see the option to mess with the controls for forge..

[verbal salmon]

okay but we cant use the discord streaming ?

[stoic rapids]

could be their plan to split them up

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[lavish matrix]

no

[verbal salmon]

euhokay

[left bone]

unnatural eggs

[stoic rapids]

don't seem to have any changable keybinds, but the controls are fine the way they are

[verbal salmon]

why ?

[obsidian wyvern]

and yes the s1 coatings got unlocked, but haven't been granted

[dire spade]

Guys is it feasible/fun to 100% the halo infinite campaign? Or should I just uninstall and download sea of thieves instead

i beat the main story

[winter flame]

up to you

[lavish matrix]

because users in this server have shown and continue to show they cannot be trusted with privileges without causing problems

[solemn spear]

I'm struggling with them I guess I need help learning to forge

[dire spade]

is it fun or is it a chore

[obsidian wyvern]

even though I disliked the campaign, it was fun 100%ing for some reason

[winter flame]

subjective innit

[dire spade]

I got the arcane sentinel beam (finally) so it should be easy right

[obsidian wyvern]

finding all the caves and Easter eggs alongside them made it worth it imo

[lavish matrix]

i unlocked every cheevo in infinite

[dire spade]

Rolling around in a razor back

[lavish matrix]

it's doable

[bronze breach]

Recon and rev, dad made me reduce my order from £60 to £30

[stoic rapids]

well they're fine for me, just don't know about everyone else

[verbal salmon]

mmmh i see fun not alowed here

[dire spade]

wat caves

[obsidian wyvern]

even the new ones chimera?

[lavish matrix]

define new

[winter flame]

what did you wanna order for £60

dad probs right

[dire spade]

I think I found a cave with a sleeping grunt, I spared him

[obsidian wyvern]

well there's caves dotted around with audio logs, skulls etc

[pulsar cobalt]

Man wanted his pizza😂

[obsidian wyvern]

season 2.5

[dire spade]

What are skulls? I see them as collectibles but never came across one

[lavish matrix]

yes

[hasty zinc]

you're a phrase repeated ad nauseum

[winter flame]

how about MCC?

[hasty zinc]

[stoic rapids]

they are hidden

[lavish matrix]

... i mean, you're not wrong

[obsidian wyvern]

they alter gameplay once you collect them

so you could find one that removes your hud, or gives you infinite ammo, etc

[stoic rapids]

fortunately there is no iron skull in infinite

[floral pollen]

Why the heck is there two versions of Argyle in the training maps?
There's "Argyle" and "Argyle - Arlington"

[lavish matrix]

skulls also emit an auditory signal when you're near, which helps you locate them

[dire spade]

HUH????

[lavish matrix]

Is infinite your first halo?

[dire spade]

err first one I’ve owned

[floral pollen]

This is on a lot of maps

[dire spade]

I watched my brother play halo 2 and combat evolved though

[lavish matrix]

skulls have been a part of halo since halo 2

[dire spade]

oh :0 I never knew

[lavish matrix]

in halo 3 they became permanent collectible/unlockables

[dire spade]

Is there a skull for infinite health?

[lavish matrix]

no

[dire spade]

dang

[stoic rapids]

that would make laso so much easier

[dire spade]

I want the one for infinite ammo that sounds really cool

[obsidian wyvern]

Arlington is the hcs versions.. basically pre-season 4 versions of the map because pros haven't adjusted to the changes for next week

[floral pollen]

Ah, makes sense

[winter flame]

question, if you cannot die, do you have infinite health or do you take no damage?

[lavish matrix]

well you can either explore the map or look up a guide

[floral pollen]

Bc I was gonna say, it seems to be all the arena maps

[obsidian wyvern]

infinite health I think

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah it is all the hcs arena maps

[lavish matrix]

you're basically talking about immortality vs invulnerability

[bronze breach]

Burger with side chips, loaded chips and coke. In addition to that I wanted mix platter and dessert which would have costrd a total of _60

[winter flame]

bruh

[bronze breach]

[ruby token]

Have to go be on standby in case the players have technical difficulties, but hope you'll come keep them company on stream today! They'll be playing through the original games on MCC: https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1122515632290803832

[obsidian wyvern]

for 60???

[winter flame]

just go to an all you can eat at that point

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[lavish matrix]

i can't do buffets anymore

[obsidian wyvern]

wonder if we're going through disinflation yet, I haven't checked for the past few months

[winter flame]

nah its still high cause people keep spending

[lavish matrix]

i used to love brazilian meat buffets, those were the bomb

[fickle drift]

Hello

[dire spade]

Actually F it halo is boring without any more story

Are all those purple installation things the same?

[obsidian wyvern]

the audio logs give you a story

[lavish matrix]

purple installation thingy?

[dire spade]

audio logs are on yt

[obsidian wyvern]

though I won't say it's anything special if it's your first halo game

[bronze breach]

Only had, burger with side chips, chips and coke which costs 30.

Mix platter is 25 and dessert 5. Both didnt have

[dire spade]

Like the forge of teash and stuff

[fickle drift]

are halo 5 servers still fairly active? wanna get the achievements for that game

[dire spade]

They’re purple on the tac map

[obsidian wyvern]

that's still expensive as hell

[lavish matrix]

oh you mean the optional fortress side missions

[stoic rapids]

banished outposts?

[bronze breach]

[obsidian wyvern]

somewhat

[stoic rapids]

not really

[dire spade]

Ye

[fickle drift]

ill download halo 5 and see

[lavish matrix]

they are not all the same, there's like 3 subtypes of outpost

[dire spade]

It’ll be funny melting them all with the sun laser

[obsidian wyvern]

I assume you haven't used the tank gun yet

pepsi man^

[bronze breach]

For goodness sake, guests are coming over and they interrupting my btb schedule.

[simple wave]

Holy F, Hacksaw was a VERY unfair spartan ops level.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah dark

you free later today? actually got a few people for customs

[dire spade]

Ya I used it but I like to see the enemies melt

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah the Sen beam is satisfying

[stoic rapids]

arcane is straight up broken

[lavish matrix]

technically they sublimate

[bronze breach]

Unlikely, I'm going sleep at 11pm for work tomorrow. And will probably finish solo btb by 9pm.

I'm off on upcoming wednesday and Thursday as well as the weekend for work

[tired wraith]

Hahaha! My game isn’t lagging anymore 😎😎

Less goo

[bronze breach]

I will make it lag again

[obsidian wyvern]

rip, alr

[tired wraith]

No pleas dont I had to play 10 games of tactical slayer

[bronze breach]

[stoic rapids]

my aim is horrid, however my 200 ms ping helps me in never missing shots

[smoky prism]

why doe ranked games start 4v3? the game should automatically end like mw2 does

[spice tundra]

ima

i am gonna say a secret

never gonna give you up

[steady jolt]

That's at least a better secret than the last attempt

[spice tundra]

:0

[spice tundra]

i know more

when como cuando te caes de la moto

ok

[fickle drift]

hopefully the acrophobia skull comes to halo CE, best skull

[steady jolt]

We have #español for Spanish users, need to keep to English in main channels please

[spice tundra]

i know is was a joke

[silent cairn]

That’d be awesome since Halo CE’s maps are all super open

[spice tundra]

im chilean

[fickle drift]

exactly, i wanna explore the top on the island in the silent cartogtapher

[wild sleet]

Wasp needs a Nerf bad

[silent cairn]

It does

[obsidian wyvern]

nah it's fine

[tired wraith]

Anyone else though Iratus was pronounced i-rah-tuhs? Instead of i-ra-toos?

[obsidian wyvern]

there's so many anti air weapons to counter it

well anti vehicle

[spice tundra]

hey hey baby don't say that don't say that you're perfect

xD

[wild sleet]

Where

[spice tundra]

TA

[silent cairn]

The only real options to counter it are the skewer and the shock rifle

[fickle drift]

hydra too tbh

[tired wraith]

Does the plasma p still emp a vehicle?

[fickle drift]

also acrophobia skull for infinite when? 👀

[silent cairn]

No

[tired wraith]

Bruhh

[spice tundra]

Gaius if you bought to me a ice cream i´m goona give to you a cokkie

[wild sleet]

Hydra doesn’t even spawn near the base like half the time to even counter the wasp

[pale barn]

Hi

[calm fiber]

🍨

[tired wraith]

Ello lugijee

[silent cairn]

The plasma pistol emp was the only thing that actually made it useful

[tired wraith]

Exactly

[hasty zinc]

noob combo

[silent cairn]

Fair

[tired wraith]

It still worked tho

[silent cairn]

That’s also good

The plasma pistol in Halo Infinite is kinda trash though, I barely ever have a use for it

It would be a way better weapon if they added back the emp

[tired wraith]

Idk why they took it out

It’s like taking the supercombine out of a needler

[hasty zinc]

probably because of all the shock emp disable items already in the sandbox

[calm fiber]

OK, I dropped some ice cream, I believe in owed a cookie

[pale barn]

I use needlers for halo infinte bosses

[winter flame]

*I'm

[calm fiber]

*I'm, internal matrix is shorting today

[silent cairn]

Hey, he might not have given you one, but here you go 🍪

[wild sleet]

Have a sultana cookie

[silent cairn]

The needler is by far my favorite gun in Halo Infinite

I would say it’s my favorite weapon, but the energy sword is definitely on top

At least in my opinion

[wild sleet]

The Needler is one of my favourite guns all together it’s a very fun & a unique weapon

[silent cairn]

It’s probably the most iconic gun from Halo

I know people who’ve never played a single Halo game and barely know anything about it but they still know what the needler is

[winter flame]

Needle rifle is lit

[silent cairn]

I love the design of the needle rifle, but I’m not a big fan of Reach so I haven’t used it much

[obsidian wyvern]

hydra, skewer, disruptor, shock, dynamos, rockets and hammer work well on oasis

[silent cairn]

Fair enough

Also now that I’m thinking about it, grapplers are also a pretty good counter

Like if you grapple onto them and then hijack

[obsidian wyvern]

idk how well the cindershot works on it

[winter flame]

if only the game had predictable consistent weapon spawns

the heatwave is probs my favourite new weapon in Infinite

[wild sleet]

^^

[silent cairn]

Why did 343 get rid of dual wielding

Dual wielding was so cool

[winter flame]

they didnt

Bungo did

[silent cairn]

Ph yeah you’re right my bad

[wild sleet]

Yeah that started with Bungie with Reach

[silent cairn]

Well why did Bungie get rid of dual wielding then

[winter flame]

it didnt really work

[silent cairn]

Yeah but it was a cool feature

Dual wielding SMGs and spamming on Elites was fun

[winter flame]

2 & 3 had really strong metas because duel wielding wasn't really viable and the game was balanced around it

[wild sleet]

Pistol & PP was kinda broken

[winter flame]

like you just couldnt have a pistol like the sk with any kind of viability on its own

[wild sleet]

It was a fun & unique feature added to Halo like Duel Wielding Needlers in Halo 2 was chefs kiss shame they changed that in H3

[stoic rapids]

Well that started with odst kind of

[bronze breach]

I completely agree or get rid of it and make it an ordance drop like tanks but on the middle of the map

[hearty flame]

ODSTs couldn't dual wield because they're regular humans, that change was made entirely for lore reasons

Dual wielding was officially removed with Reach for entirely gameplay reasons, don't confuse the two

[bronze breach]

Only problem is that sometimes those weapons spawns away from base on highpower

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm assuming that's to stop people from just destroying it in their base straight away

on one base the hydra is too far away tbf

[bronze breach]

I dont see a problem with that.

[hollow hamlet]

The Wasp is insanely fragile and gets taken down with 2-3 people just focus firing it down.

It's a glass cannon. It should stay how it is.

[bronze breach]

Not fragile enough. Should have the health of a banshee

Also on highpower, if they far up in the sky, then shots wont reach them

[hearty flame]

I love that three banshees can spawn on a single base in BTB and no one rushes for them

[bronze breach]

They need to lower the ceiling

Yeah people prefer wasp than banshee because it has more health even though banshee is more mobile

[wild sleet]

I always go for Banshee, it’s a high rush high reward vehicle

[hearty flame]

Wasp has more control

[bronze breach]

I go for wasp personally.

Every time I go for banshee I die 10 seconds later

Either I get too damaged after hitting a cliff or tree and then get shot at by ar, or get skewered or sniped

[wild sleet]

I think the Banshee is fine since for its High Risk High Reward it’s just the Wasp is a bit of a problem

[bronze breach]

Reduce the ceiling on highpower should suffice if not nerfing it.

[hollow hamlet]

Everyone spawns with and spawns around multiple hitscan weapons (Bandit, Commando, BR) that will always reach their target.

[tight remnant]

I don't like the nerfs to the spike grenade and disruptor and shock grenades 😦

[hollow hamlet]

There is so much anti-vehicle ordnance in this game, I don't think nerfing any vehicle is the play.

[hollow hamlet]

Spikes are essentially worthless now.

[tight remnant]

The wasp isn't that fragile.

[tight remnant]

Very much so.

I would however rather the wasps be like halo 5.

[bronze breach]

Then reduce the ceiling, oasis has a perfect ceiling level. Highpower just seems too high to me

[tight remnant]

Shields but weaker hull and weakpoints. MOre skill

[hollow hamlet]

Maybe. If a pilot is flying that high without cover on Highpower I'd consider them a fairly bad pilot to begin with. Highpower is about playing the cover of the mountains, center map, and bases.

[bronze breach]

My strat is ambush them whilst hiding from enemy wasp until they get taken care of by someone else.

I hide beneath the cliffs and then come up at enemy base for a surprise attack whilst be wary of shock rifle

[hollow hamlet]

Pretty sound way to fly, yeah.

[bronze breach]

If possible, if enemy didnt take their wasp, I take it out first

[wild sleet]

Shame the Shock Rifle on blue side is is like a walk to get to it

[bronze breach]

Tbh it's closer to blue than red

If it doesn't spawn near the wasp

Nvm, that's what you meant xD

Didnt read properly lol

[wild sleet]

I know red is like next to the wasp but it isn’t always going to be the Shock Rifle

[bronze breach]

Yeah it's either stalker or shock for blue or red team. Sometimes shock for both teams

[wild sleet]

Blue literally gets both

[fossil skiff]

A competent wasp pilot can keep canyon and left mid locked down while taking minimal fire on highpower

[obsidian wyvern]

sol..

[fossil skiff]

I didn’t break it

[obsidian wyvern]

wait what

[fossil skiff]

I mean what

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

uhh, do you care about the watchdog skin

[fossil skiff]

A little, why?

[coral gyro]

Question -
On halotracker I’m #299 on the leaderboards which it says is the top 29%. Is this bugged or is the player base just this small right now??

[obsidian wyvern]

^

[fossil skiff]

That is…unusual. Oh well.

[obsidian wyvern]

idk why they'd do that but yeah

[fossil skiff]

Cared more about the prestige of achieving 152 tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

thankfully you don't care too much about it, I felt really bad when I saw

[wild sleet]

Shame, that was probably the only solid looking White coating in Infinite atm

[coral gyro]

Anyone?

[amber mirage]

Probably bugged

[fossil skiff]

The coating would have been nice, but I have so many already that I enjoy wearing (when covenant frontline? )

[wild sleet]

I’ve honestly just been using Steel blue on all my cores until Cadet White is a thing

[granite pawn]

Yooooo

[fossil skiff]

The new uh…light blue cadet is really nice. Cobalt?

[obsidian wyvern]

honestly I doubt we'll ever get cadet white or black, so much money to be made from it

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah, and it also doesn't make the shoulder pad gold when using highcom sentinel

[thorny glen]

Probably small mp base idk

[fossil skiff]

Rev have you seen my mark 7 recently? I’ve adapted the assymetric look again

[obsidian wyvern]

nope, got a pic on you?

[fickle drift]

Ello chat

[fossil skiff]

No :/ but it’s what I’m wearing rn

[obsidian wyvern]

I can go check

[coral gyro]

Oh my bad I didn’t know this was a no swear zone lol

[obsidian wyvern]

prevents it from getting chaotic

[fossil skiff]

Yee if you want, no biggie

[amber mirage]

Checking the official Waypoint leaderboards, there are 1591 players ranked Onyx in Ranked Arena for this season, so Halotracker is definitely using a much smaller player pool for their leaderboards.

[obsidian wyvern]

WHEW

the visor goes so well with the secondary colour

[wild sleet]

That’s a really good looking Spartan

[thorny glen]

@coral gyro did you ever ping me?

[coral gyro]

Last season I was ~1750-1780 area and I think I was sitting around #500, which sat around top 1% of players. This season I’m #299 in the top 29% of players. The guy that’s #8 is in the top 9%.

[coral gyro]

Extremely likely not but in the instance I did I’m completely unaware that I did

[obsidian wyvern]

lost the 40 week streak 🫡

[coral gyro]

Is that the game pass points thing?

[obsidian wyvern]

kind of

[coral gyro]

@amber mirage

[obsidian wyvern]

it's the Microsoft rewards app, different but they all go towards the same thing

[amber mirage]

Then it definitely looks like a Halotracker bug, since it doesn't line up with Waypoint's leaderboards

[coral gyro]

Ahhh ok

[fossil skiff]

Imo the coating and visor were made for each other.

Also F for 40 week streak

[coral gyro]

Solid investigation bro ty for help

[obsidian wyvern]

wait whats 40 weeks in days

uhh, 280?

[fossil skiff]

280

[obsidian wyvern]

damn it was longer than this

[fickle drift]

:)))

I should really start doing the rewards stuff

[obsidian wyvern]

i should start gambling it again

[coral gyro]

Ambassador is good it gives u the one month of ultimate at the end of every szn if u farm it

[fickle drift]

Ooooo

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah if you do most of the daily stuff with this, you can get gamepass and if you stretch yourself, a $5 giftcard too by the end of each month

[amber mirage]

@coral gyro I found you on the Waypoint leaderboards. https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/leaderboards/csrseason4-1/edfef3ac-9cbe-4fa2-b949-8f29deafd483?page=4

#313 puts you at the top 19% of all Onyx players this season

[wild sleet]

3:30am and can’t find a game now I think Infinite is telling me to go to bed lol

[coral gyro]

Interesting. I’ve got some more practice to get crackin on with by the sounds of that :)))

[amber mirage]

If you ever get matched up against me, you definitely won't need any practice to win.

[coral reef]

do you guys think we will eventually get full cross core?

[amber mirage]

I imagine you're in the top 1% of all players if we count all ranks

[obsidian wyvern]

cant tell if i like this stance or not

[coral gyro]

In and around, maybe just shy of it. I’m tryna improve :))

[obsidian wyvern]

also is that the end of the skewer

[wild sleet]

I like The Respect stance hoping to get my hands on it soon

[amber mirage]

I hope you achieve your goals

[obsidian wyvern]

i have a feeling itll be part of one of the yoroi events

[bronze breach]

guests are a no show so far and its 6.40pm

[coral gyro]

Thank you sir 🙏

[wild sleet]

Or a bundle, I know the katana pose is going to be in the Tenrai pass

[obsidian wyvern]

ugh

that stance is cool but id like the other one to be free lol

[amber mirage]

I think that would look better if you used it with a helmet that had eye-shaped visors. So the Skewer sight covers one eye.

[wild sleet]

So the Stormfall helmet without the Gungnir faceplate

[obsidian wyvern]

i am not wearing that LOL

[wild sleet]

I’ll only wear that helmet with the faceplate, it is cursed with it missing

[obsidian wyvern]

also i want

[wild sleet]

Yeah csnt find matches at 3:38am guess I’m calling it a night lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

gn

[rare cedar]

[twin mauve]

I hate that they havent brought back the flood

[grand haven]

bungie didnt leave much options...

[pulsar cobalt]

Bungie ?

[bronze breach]

flood is gone... deal with it. move on

[pulsar cobalt]

Sorry to break it to you pal bungie hasn't worked on halo for years

[grand haven]

they ended the flood

[bronze breach]

stop dwelling in the past, look forward to the future.

[carmine fractal]

Flood were great they kinda looked like chicken nuggets from all the biomass but alas

[grand haven]

flood go boom

[bronze breach]

the T-55 shoulders is my new favorite. love big shoulder pads

[pulsar cobalt]

They are pretty nice

[grand haven]

my favorites are the one in the security gen3 bundle

[timid crane]

I appreciate you moving on from that topic (I’m also tired of talking about the flood)

[carmine fractal]

When can we have the flood return in halo in the form of water

Suits the name

Just puddles of water firing weapons and talking to the player.

[grand haven]

we need this as an april fools update

[carmine fractal]

Thinking about it that would be kinda funny.

[tired wraith]

I like the ones that go on the shoulders

And the mk7 helmet

[winter flame]

Indeed, all flood died when chief and cortana destroyed installation 04 by blowing up the pillar of autumn

Couldn’t be brought back

[rare cedar]

Pretty sure every Halo ring has the flood contained in it, so it's possible they're on Zeta Halo

[winter flame]

Forerunners really didn’t account for a covenant of meddlers kidnapping humans to break into all their installations huh

[queen remnant]

Skill issue from the forerunners

[pulsar cobalt]

Imagine if they on zeta halo and 343 keeping it as a a future season and mode imagine

[carmine fractal]

So was the floods return in halo wars 2 non Canon or something?

[hasty zinc]

it was canon

[carmine fractal]

So that would answer the question it is possible

[pulsar cobalt]

Isn't halo wars 2 like 1 year behind infinite

story wise

[quiet warren]

I think 2 years

But I’m mad they never showed how Atriox and chief came face to face

[hasty zinc]

1 year

[carmine fractal]

They agreed to a date but it went wrong

[hasty zinc]

they did, the very first cutscene of Infinite

[carmine fractal]

190% lore accurate

[hasty zinc]

oh how sorry misread

[carmine fractal]

Honestly a good way to bring back classic enemies is fire fight

Doesn't have to be Canon

[quiet warren]

Yea I’m mad they never explained or showed

[pulsar cobalt]

Imagine LSS but its flood themed and pve with the circle coming in and the map gets covered with flood biomass

[quiet warren]

I hope in season 5 they bring firefight

[carmine fractal]

Nothing better than some flood biomass nuggets

[scenic dragon]

why does the ai in halo wars 2 say "atriox was the first to rebel against the covenant and survive"... waht about arbiter?

[winter flame]

In my head canon the banished go on to finally kill chief, defeat the UNSC, and liberate all humans from the UNSC’s tyrannical rule. We all live peacefully with the brutes happily ever after

[scenic dragon]

did he rebel before arbiter?

[tired wraith]

I’m guessing they’re working on it as opposed to cutscenes

[hasty zinc]

Atriox was first, Arbiter was after

[carmine fractal]

Craig was the 3rd
