power nap before hitting those power plays

[timber charm]

man needs his gfuel

[normal owl]

Give his mirror the pump-up speech.

[timber charm]

morb: IM MVP x3

[normal owl]

"Who's got thumbs of steel? Who's got thumbs of steel!"

[bronze breach]

My daily routine:

procasinate at work while doing work
Browse discord on train home if there is wifi
Once home, turn on PC and let it sit there doing whatever lag it wants to do
Eat in the meantime, rest and drink tea
Then play infinite for an hr
Then rest in bed until sleep time whilst chilling on discord xD

👍

[timber charm]

relatable morb

[bronze breach]

Ngl, I just dont enjoy my job anymore I hate it. But gotta do what i need to do

[hasty zinc]

be on discord all day on the clock?

[round laurel]

You should procrastinate in work by job searching

[bronze breach]

I should you know

Supervisor didnt hire a legally qualified person to assist me. So I need to leave. All the burden is on me, while the new hire wont help me at all.

Previous colleague who assisted me was legally qualified with 5 years experience

Too much pressure, so I procasinate and chill in discord while doing work lol

[hasty zinc]

that probably doesn't help your situation

[round laurel]

I mean, the new hire can probably pick up on your negative energy.

[obsidian wyvern]

doesn't seem like they're ever there to

from what I heard he always disappears lol

[round laurel]

Lol, well it's their funeral.

[smoky token]

so then… do it

you keep talking about quitting

[obsidian wyvern]

he needs the money

[smoky token]

if you are genuinely going to quit, then stop blueballing everyone and yourself and just do it

[cedar turret]

Alternatively, I don't care if you quit or not, but this isn't the place to constantly air your workplace drama.

[bronze breach]

My bad

If infinite is theoretically going to last 10 years, will older graphic cards still be supported?

[obsidian wyvern]

doubt it

[bronze breach]

Damn.

My PC is too old, and I dont know if newer cards are compatible with my motherboard

[obsidian wyvern]

aren't you switching to Xbox soon

[bronze breach]

I will only temporarily switch to xbox once Gears 6 comes out. Because its unlikely with my current pc it will meet the requirements like starfield doesnt.

[timber charm]

wuts ur mobo

[bronze breach]

Only games I play is Gears or Halo. I used to play destiny but not anymore

[smoky token]

which mobo?

[bronze breach]

That's a good question, I cant remember lmao. This is a custom pre-built lol

I know its asus lol

One sec

[smoky token]

is it a b450? b350? x470?

[bronze breach]

I have the package in my drawer

Prime x370 pro

[smoky token]

the thing about GPUs isn’t compatibility, it’s bus speeds

an old old motherboard might bottleneck the bus

but a X370 won’t

which CPU do you have

[bronze breach]

Ryzen 1700x

[smoky token]

Might want to get some upgrades but it should be fine if you want to get a 3060 or 2070

[bronze breach]

Tbh I didnt build this pc, a company did. So I'm concerned I'll break the pc if I take anything out.

I want to build a pc from ground up, once I have spare savings one day

[unborn hamlet]

[bronze breach]

Basically get the most updated stuff and build it myself

Once I know how to build myself, then I can just replace individual parts as and when its needed

[smoky token]

The Prime X370 has the same latch system as any other consumer motherboard

[real hemlock]

Go find a junk PC to practice on people throw em out all the time

[smoky token]

throwing a GPU out or in is the same as with any custom built PC

[real hemlock]

That's how I started

Only thing you really have to worry about is on a PC is the CPU pins

[granite solar]

So I just saw a bunch of cool stuff being added to MCC. But the majority of it is PC only... So will console players ever get access to all this cool content?

[timid crane]

Ain’t got no money for da pc

So I stick to my broke boy Xbox

[bold sparrow]

I mean, 900 bucks for a Series X isnt exactly a small investment.
Heh. I remember when saving up all the pennies from my first real job to get an Xbox One was a HUGE thing.

[timid crane]

I got lucky

[bold sparrow]

...I really hope they dont roll out an Series X 2 at some point in the future cause I got the Halo model of the X and its really pretty

[timid crane]

I bought my series x when it first came out on stock x for 500

[fickle drift]

900???

They've been in stock for a while tho

[misty spindle]

imagine paying $900 for a console lol

then again I guess there is more laughable expensive electronics to buy for gaming

[muted gyro]

[bronze breach]

It took me a year in college to save £400 to buy a halo:mcc xbox one bundle

[misty spindle]

(cough cough, $2000 for a VR)

[bold sparrow]

Considering I built my PC for free from scrap more or less, it worked out.

[misty spindle]

how the hell you make a PC for free?

[bold sparrow]

You'd be amazed how many computer nerds just...yeet their slightly outdated equipment.

[bronze breach]

Know someone from a pc store that gives you unwanted parts?

[bold sparrow]

If your not looking to make something thats top of the line and can run Minecraft at like, a million pixle intensity, its gold.

[round laurel]

Was this on release?

Oh wait, of course it would be.

[bronze breach]

I dont think so, but I recall it was around Nov/Dec that I purchased it

Cant remember lol

[round laurel]

Ah. Yeah I bought an Xbox One for MCC too and I stopped playing a week later when I could barely find any matchmaking games lol

[bronze breach]

Rip

[bold sparrow]

Same thing happened to me, but I still used the One cause I had other games.
Titanfall.

COD Advanced Warfare and Ghosts.

[round laurel]

Yeah a friend introduced me to Titanfall soon after. It was a blast.

[bronze breach]

I had only 4 games on xbox one? Halo:mcc, Gears:UE, destiny and halo 5

Oh and titanfall as well

Now xbox one is just used as a DVD player if anything

[misty spindle]

tbh there isn't really many games for me to play that I am interested in atm on the Xbox lol

[bronze breach]

I only play 2 shooters. That's it really

[misty spindle]

is one of em Battlebit?

[bronze breach]

Nah. Gears and Halo only

[misty spindle]

I'd give Battlebit a try tbh

even though its not the same genre as Halo as an Arena Shooter, the fact that there is proximity chat alone reminds me of 2007 lol

[bronze breach]

Might do

I wonder if there'll ever be custom forge btb maps in matchmaking

Would be nice to see

[misty spindle]

there kinda is already I think

or they said they were trying to at least I think

[bronze breach]

Nah it's all dev made btb maps

So far

[bold sparrow]

Its too expensive to get invested in other games these days.
And I stopped liking COD as soon as things got too heavy on the gear.

Same with Destiny in truth. Halo feels like the only competitive game where skill matters more than the weapon you have on hand.

[misty spindle]

its now $70 a freaking AAA game and I hate it

[bronze breach]

Not a big fan of scarr, it's not good for vehicular combat and feel compact and circular to me.

[bold sparrow]

Yeah, that too.

[misty spindle]

and they all release UNFINISHED or BROKEN

like come on... really you expect me to be happy with a $70 AAA purchase of a broken unfinished game, that'll take 2-3 years to fix and then 2 years after that you'll probably release another unfinished broken game for $70?

[bronze breach]

Matt booty explained this. Game dev is much more complex now than it was during the 360 era. It can take up to 8 years for AAA game to be finished

[smoky token]

first time actually seeing either of these in person; they are a LOT smaller than the promotional material makes them out to be. Cord box for scale.

[dreamy stirrup]

the X is hefty

the S is smol

[fickle drift]

Destiny is a money and time sink now and that sucks.

[dreamy stirrup]

and cute

[bronze breach]

Let me see if I still have his quote on phone clipboard

[queen remnant]

There is also like a lot more games nowadays that releases pretty much alright and you can play it

[misty spindle]

I mean as someone trying to get into game dev for fun I understand how difficult it is, but I mean it's just so.... frustrating as a player to spend money on a game that is 1/7th of a console and then experience something broken

[uneven axle]

Hey not to bother you but do you know if double xp will come with the update ? Wish there was more double xp days

But I understand you guys are working hard so if not it’s okay

[misty spindle]

I think the one game that was just straight up unplayable for me though was just Cyberpunk. I wanted to play it but it was just so unplayable lol

[bronze breach]

Yeah I get that. For starfield phil said all of xbox QA staff was playing it.

[round laurel]

I've been pretty happy waiting for reviews on big titles and just skipping those that need a bit more time. There are some great indie and AA titles out there, like Aliens: Dark Descent.

[misty spindle]

I loved Indie games on the XBLA in the 360 era

those games were like $5 and were amazing experiences, but also a ton of them

[bronze breach]

Also The Coalition will now help the wider Xbox Studios organization with game development by creating tools, workflows etc for studios to use.

Microsoft established a Technology group within the studio to deal with that sort of thing

[misty spindle]

im not gonna lie though im just really concerned about the state of AAA titles though (not just Xbox Studio ones)

[uneven axle]

Did it mention double xp coming with the mcc update*

[bronze breach]

Which is why the establishment of Xbox Technology Group should be seen as a good thing

[bold sparrow]

I have to lean my Series X sideways to fit in the little counter I have it on cause its too tall to fit normally. It really do be a tiny mini fridge

[bronze breach]

As a consequence it could also mean less games from The Coalition

[hot aspen]

where can i shill my halo video

[misty spindle]

yeah but is that gonna really help things like future Halo titles or if Xbox actually wins the Activision situation, games like CoD?

[bronze breach]

Who knows what the future holds

[hasty zinc]

#1076327824924872755

[bold sparrow]

So long as we dont get a game crash, I'll call it a win.

That, and Project Wingman 2 at some point.
Also, Titanfall 3.

[queen remnant]

The Coalition already helped with Halo Infinite

[bronze breach]

Yes.

"At The Coalition Studio, through our work on the acclaimed Gears of War franchise, we are tackling these problems head-on by leading engine innovation, developing technical showcase technologies, and delivering world class workflows, tools and features that are adopted across the wider Xbox Game Studios organization. Xbox Games Technology Group – The Coalition"

Note - "wider xbox game studios organization." This includes 343

[obsidian wyvern]

the day tf3 gets announced the internet will break

[misty spindle]

now I feel a little more concerned after hearing that tbh lol

[queen remnant]

How so

[tight remnant]

Speaking of crashes my game just crashed and restart my xbox 😦

[bronze breach]

So even though The Coalition primarily uses Unreal Engine, they will help with Halo

[tight remnant]

titanfall or tream fortress

[misty spindle]

I mean I guess it'll take more time to see more drastic changes made to games but it just feels like not much changed imo

[oak cave]

hello halo fans

[bronze breach]

Yeah, but they will play a much bigger role now

[queen remnant]

Yup

[oak cave]

hows everyone feeling

[misty spindle]

tired

[bronze breach]

Ngl, kinda scared with the future of Gears now lol

[oak cave]

well titanfall 3 already kinda released

[timid crane]

So are the cutting floor content only getting added to pc and not console mcc?

[oak cave]

bad news: as apex legends

so take that news however you want

[bold sparrow]

Watch it be both and ALL of the internet breaks

The sheer realization that Valve can count to 3 would result in a tsunami of people headed for Redmond.

[misty spindle]

Valve can't count to 3

[queen remnant]

I see more possible titanfall 3 than team fortress 3 lol

[oak cave]

look if they gotta count to 3 it will be half life

[bold sparrow]

I dont see no Titans.

[oak cave]

me too budy

but you dont allways get in life what you want

[bold sparrow]

If they release Half-Life 3, they'll break the other THIRD of the internet.

[bronze breach]

I'm suprised there was even a titanfall 2

[oak cave]

wdyma third

half life shaped pc gaming with its palm

[misty spindle]

could you imagine TF3 and Half-Life 3 at once

[oak cave]

not to mention counter strike is already breaking a third of the internet it self

[fickle drift]

im wondering when theyll be dropping the update

[oak cave]

maybe it will be a orange box deal

tf3 half life 2 and uhh

[misty spindle]

I love how Valve is handling CS though tbh

[oak cave]

a new ip

[bronze breach]

Csgo 2?

[round laurel]

If there is a Gears 6 I imagine it'll be F2P and drastically different gameplay wise.

[oak cave]

no its just counter strike 2

[misty spindle]

they don't change the game completely, but they add in some new features to an already existing game, and upgrade the map quality

[round laurel]

Since Gears 2 they've tried to stop the Gnasher wars.

[timid crane]

Again, is the cutting room floor content in the next update for mcc only for pc and not console?

[oak cave]

they were like "alr counter strike 1 counter strike source counter strike global offencive this makes no sense lets return to numbers"

[obsidian wyvern]

I was saying Titanfall

but team fortress 3 would do more damage

[misty spindle]

shooting bullet holes through smoke to get a sightline or throwing a nade to it is amazing

[bronze breach]

Majority or at least the pros, want the game to be like Gears 1 gameplay wise

[obsidian wyvern]

portal 3

[round laurel]

So Gnasher 24/7? lol

[oak cave]

Cs 2 is shaping to be also the first look at source 2 engine

[misty spindle]

Portal 2 RTX*

[oak cave]

portal is already over mate

[bronze breach]

For Gears 5, I believe the movement speed was nerfed but not so much that it was like Gears 1

[obsidian wyvern]

I just bought portal 2 and half life episodes 1 and 2 today so gonna go through them

[oak cave]

it got a conclusion and that is it

[obsidian wyvern]

(don't spoil pls)

[oak cave]

unless we get like portal 2.5 where its just the co op mode then nah

[bronze breach]

Pretty much. To them, its Gnasher or nothing.

[oak cave]

also the co op mode for portal 2 is amazing

[round laurel]

I get it. Rifles can make Gears gameplay very static.

[misty spindle]

wait theres a storyline in Portal? I never touched Portal yet lol

[timid crane]

Ok so no answer got it

[oak cave]

Overall portal 2 is amazing

the best game ever made

[oak cave]

yes its a short but good one

[misty spindle]

theres a storyline ending about Portals..... really?

I need to install it then lol

[round laurel]

I believe it's about cake

[bronze breach]

Afaik, if it's being introduced as mods then only pc. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong

[oak cave]

no the portals play a zero part in the story

[round laurel]

And some sort of lie.

[misty spindle]

...

[obsidian wyvern]

I think only pc, it is mod material iirc

[oak cave]

they get intruduce at first and then they get taken for granted until they expand the lore in 2

[misty spindle]

so a game about Portals, has a storyline but has nothing to do with Portals?

[oak cave]

but still they are a VERY small part of portal

[oak cave]

it has to do with portals yes

but its like uhh

[timid crane]

Thanks my boy

[bronze breach]

It's like saying Gears has a storyline but it's not about Gears.

👍

[oak cave]

does the story of halo allways include the halo rings

[bronze breach]

Except reach

[oak cave]

and wars

[misty spindle]

didn't every Halo but Reach include a ring

[bronze breach]

And odst

[oak cave]

and 5

[bronze breach]

5 had a ring cameo at least

[misty spindle]

lemme rephrase.... every Halo game with the real main character Master Chief (then again I shouldn't say "real main character" since Reach was good storyline)

[obsidian wyvern]

5 had a ring at the end technically, but yes

[oak cave]

4?

[obsidian wyvern]

wait where was the ring in halo 4

[oak cave]

i dont remember 4 having a ring

hell i dont even think it had the ark

[bronze breach]

After didact came out of the portal to get the composer

[misty spindle]

I just googled Halo 4 ring and it looks like it had a cameo

[bronze breach]

Afaik it was on a station near a ring

[oak cave]

yea that

[misty spindle]

a google picture shows Master Chief looking at the ring through glass

[hasty zinc]

reach had a ring at the end too

[oak cave]

a cameo

[misty spindle]

Reach had a ring too?

[sinful karma]

hi

[oak cave]

yea instilation 04

[misty spindle]

oh yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

it showed the beginning of ce

[oak cave]

yea its just like the portals in portal

[misty spindle]

also didn't Forge World have a ring too?

[hasty zinc]

also forgeworld

yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

has anyone here played uhh

[hasty zinc]

it's my favorite

[obsidian wyvern]

damn I forgot the name

[hasty zinc]

and the sequel uhhh

[bronze breach]

Still baffled with pillar of autumn design. A bridge connecting two parts of a ship....

[oak cave]

damm i didnt knew every halo game technically has a halo

[obsidian wyvern]

clone commando!

[misty spindle]

well it is called "Halo" so you'd probably hope there'd be a "Halo" lol

[obsidian wyvern]

yes has anyone played that

[bronze breach]

Nah

[hasty zinc]

are you talking about Republic Commando?

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah lol

[oak cave]

bionic commando?

[bronze breach]

Is the gravemind on delta halo still alive?

[obsidian wyvern]

Republic commando*

[pure gate]

Still suck at BTB, but am better at Slayer

[oak cave]

what gravemind

isnt the flood wiped out

[hasty zinc]

nope

[oak cave]

god damm

[hasty zinc]

ikr

[bronze breach]

I think he was answering to me

[hasty zinc]

no I was answering to green guy

[bronze breach]

I cant tell lmao

[misty spindle]

Gravemind from H3 is dead, but the Flood still exists somewhere I thought

[bronze breach]

Delta halo I presume?

[oak cave]

once i get nitro ill change it to the red guy since sarge is in fortnite

[hasty zinc]

why.. the ark of course

[pure gate]

Probably on another Halo that has yet to be discovered

[misty spindle]

still waiting for 343 to actually do a story involving the Flood as an enemy 😦

[bronze breach]

Its contained but not defeated

[oak cave]

no no no no

the flood has been defeated and thats it

[bronze breach]

They did... in halo 3 did it not?

[steady jolt]

Halo Wars 2

[pure gate]

I mean I want to see CORRUPTER in a Halo game

[oak cave]

unless you wanna do a prequel then no

[hasty zinc]

if the flood comes back they should win

and everyone dies

[bronze breach]

I genuinely think they should tbh

[misty spindle]

wouldn't a prequel technically just be Halo CE and 2?

[obsidian wyvern]

need to clear clips 😔

[pure gate]

Regardless, we haven't seen a Flood infected Spartan in campaign

[steady jolt]

\o/

[oak cave]

no

stuff happened between those games

[bronze breach]

Typical story is hero wins. The villain should win for once

[pure gate]

Unless you focus on the Insurrection

[oak cave]

like halo 3 odst

[pure gate]

But would it be truly Halo?

[oak cave]

for now lets hope that the flood dosent come back

[misty spindle]

I mean Halo Reach was kinda a villainous victory? they destroyed Reach?

[pure gate]

Since many iconic weapons wouldn't be there

[oak cave]

lets hope we get a new but GOOD enemy

[pure gate]

So the UNSC can live to fight another day

[bronze breach]

Dw, the endless is a greater threat than the flood. The flood should be the least of your worries

[misty spindle]

do we really need another "new" enemy though rn

[oak cave]

how would you save the banished

[pure gate]

It was a pyhrric victory for the Covenant

[misty spindle]

true

[oak cave]

like from narative stand point

[misty spindle]

you don't 🤣

[oak cave]

yea

[bronze breach]

They are hellbent on revenge... ain't no saving them

[pure gate]

We had a cool faction in the Created, but 343 decided to replace it with the Banished for some stupid reason

[oak cave]

we just gotta replace them until we hit something

[obsidian wyvern]

screw this

[misty spindle]

what was the other villain or whatever

diadact or whatever?

[pure gate]

The Created were a cool antagonist

[bronze breach]

Yes... the guy with voodoo powers

[obsidian wyvern]

gonna have to do for now

[pure gate]

Too bad 343 neutralized them off screen

[oak cave]

cant you make it as a gif instead

[misty spindle]

343 did a lot of things off screen for Infinite Campaign :/

[pure gate]

I stand by my opinion that the Created should have been the main antagonist of Halo Infinite

[bronze breach]

Atriox wants to control time?

[oak cave]

also question is infintie finally getting dlc or not

[bronze breach]

We dont know

[oak cave]

so no

[pure gate]

Did you see the concept art for Cortana in Infinite? She looked badass

[bronze breach]

But unlikely any time soon with the redundancies

[hasty zinc]

Infinite has had 4 seasons of DLC

5 if you include winter update

[oak cave]

ah yes "DLC"

[hasty zinc]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bronze breach]

I think he meant campaign

[hasty zinc]

I know

[oak cave]

i dont even think multiplayer would count that as dlc

[obsidian wyvern]

im not booting up mcc to just make a gif ngl

[round laurel]

In my personal opinion, I wouldn't count on it.

[bronze breach]

Ok, like Sheldon Cooper, I too need to master sarcasm

[misty spindle]

am I the only one upset there is no Cortana or Master Chief AI for multiplayer

[obsidian wyvern]

that was just season 2 and im not having it any other way

[oak cave]

eh the maw takes like 10 minutes you can do it

[bronze breach]

We will have pablo chief

[hasty zinc]

I don't think the UNSC would be too keen on using a mass murderer as an AI

[oak cave]

yes since we missed a bigger fish

[queen remnant]

We are also using dummies AI

[misty spindle]

yeah but do we really need to make Multiplayer "lore related" when its just spartans killing each other and giving each other tea

[oak cave]

we didnt get epsilon

which for me makes me not want to play halo infintie out of spite

[bold sparrow]

Epsilons a Smart AI fragment remember.
He wouldnt be trusted with something as complicated as MJLONIR, hes too volitional

[oak cave]

guess my new halo game will be fortnite

[queen remnant]

Auntie dot could be a cool addition to Infinite, knowing that the AI is also a dummie one

[bronze breach]

Throw a poke ball at Cortana. Problem solved, she's contained

[bold sparrow]

Though how in the hell Freelancer got their hands on a Huragok before Acendant Justice I'll never know.
Let alone figured out how to make AI carrying capabilities before MK V rolled out...

[oak cave]

Capitalizim

THey have been supported by inlore version of amazon

[pure gate]

Seriously, did nobody see how badass the leaked concept art for Cortana in Infinite looked?

[oak cave]

they had infinite income so they could just invent things on the fly

[bronze breach]

I actually wonder what is chief and the pilot planning next.

[oak cave]

Plus the capabilities was a side effect if i remember

[hasty zinc]

I know what they're not planning, their next week of food thanks to HelloFresh subscription service.

[oak cave]

The alpha couldnt use those

only the fragments so eh

[bronze breach]

[oak cave]

Imagine the next trailer opening like that

with a god damm sponsor lol

[bronze breach]

What I dont get if the endless was so much big of a threat, why not just chuck the lot of them into a black hole

[oak cave]

yea why they couldnt do that with the flood too

[dusk notch]

randy he is the one hide your daughters and hide your sons

digbar

[oak cave]

why not just grab the rings and boom into the black hole

no more flood

[obsidian wyvern]

lore accurate multiplayer

[oak cave]

Ay maybe he just got no brain

[bronze breach]

Should have had overshield or active camo

[safe dawn]

Hm?

[oak cave]

like caboose

[pure gate]

Well I can't post it here

[oak cave]

why not

[pure gate]

I don't have image permissions

[misty spindle]

cause 343 / mods will open fire

[bronze breach]

Leaks or data mined content discussion, real or fake is a no no here

[oak cave]

under what law

[misty spindle]

the "343 law"

[oak cave]

its been publized

[misty spindle]

has it?

[safe dawn]

Dm it to me :|

[oak cave]

i think so

[misty spindle]

well why are you guys using the word "Leaked" lol

[bronze breach]

Read #rules-and-guidelines and tell us

[safe dawn]

Also concept art isnt leaks?

[oak cave]

i forgor i cant swear

[oak cave]

yea since that stuff isnt coming out any time soon

[misty spindle]

🤷‍♂️

[bronze breach]

Ask modmail for clarity

Not appropriate yo

[oak cave]

no i just rather wait until sam comes here so i can ask her

[safe dawn]

Ask one of the many mods chilling in chat?

[oak cave]

what mods

[safe dawn]

By many i mean like 2

[dusk notch]

shiver me timbers

[oak cave]

where

[calm fiber]

For server moderation concerns, please message @bleak yoke.

[bronze breach]

Just DM, @bleak yoke for clarify if in doubt

[oak cave]

no ill wait

[queen remnant]

About art concepts?

[steady jolt]

No, take it to modmail

[bronze breach]

Then they wont respond here

[obsidian wyvern]

waittttttttttt

[safe dawn]

Welp

[oak cave]

im good

[steady jolt]

Then let's move on

[obsidian wyvern]

so the background video selection is only for pc?

[oak cave]

HA SUCK IT XBOX

[bronze breach]

Stckr are you head mod? As I note that you have admin role but cant see any other admin role staff

[safe dawn]

Soo, favorite infinite s4 helmet folks?

[obsidian wyvern]

my guy you dont even play the game

[pure gate]

Sent

[oak cave]

well i play mcc

[misty spindle]

is one of the video selection options the H3 background video

[oak cave]

just because i cant install a xbox series s f2p game dosent mean i cant play a xbox 360 rerelease

[obsidian wyvern]

idk

i think its from mods

so anything really

[misty spindle]

the Halo 3 Main Menu still remains the most impactful menu I've played in the Halo series

[oak cave]

yea i wish i could see it

[bronze breach]

I wonder it it's possible to recreate the entire halo campaign in infinite forge. Impossible due to forge budget I assume?

[misty spindle]

could probably do missions

1 mission per game mode / map

[hasty zinc]

https://halome.nu/h3/

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah i was hoping it was on console too because i wanted the halo 3 menu

[bronze breach]

I recall someone recreated the h3 hog run in forge

[misty spindle]

think he meant in-game

[oak cave]

browser

[hasty zinc]

you can see it though 🙂

[obsidian wyvern]

halo ce run too

[misty spindle]

still waiting for the day that can be done without modding on Halo MCC 😦

[bronze breach]

Ngl, I want to change my work phone ringtone to halo theme song

[misty spindle]

I mean you can technically replace some files I think with the Halo 3 background and call it a day but lol

[hasty zinc]

I haven't heard my phone ringtone in years

[obsidian wyvern]

theyd applaud you and give you a raise

[oak cave]

oh im sorry for you

[obsidian wyvern]

same, i think its some LP instrumental but i have no idea

[bronze breach]

And then some rando be like... what on earth is that

[oak cave]

bro i think everyone knows what halos theme is

[bronze breach]

Doubt it.

[misty spindle]

eh probably not anyone at 12 or under lol

[oak cave]

well they wouldnt hear it here at least

[misty spindle]

when I was like 8 years old, I found Halo because it was THEEEEEE game to play, now its probably Fortnite or Fall Guys for people 8-12 rn lol

[peak hatch]

eyyyyy

wuzup fam

[oak cave]

i have news for you

[misty spindle]

hm

[oak cave]

fall guys is dead

[obsidian wyvern]

whenever im in a tunnel with my friends, they all sing the halo theme song just for me

every
single
time

[misty spindle]

well I know that but I still know alot of little kids probably still play it

[bronze breach]

👍

[oak cave]

and also you do guys realize that halo still atracts children

like me

[misty spindle]

not as much as it used to though tbh

[oak cave]

i learned about halo through uhh

[hearty flame]

If Breaking Benjamin came back to make a song for Halo Infinite 2, it would be the best selling game of all time.

[oak cave]

[hearty flame]

Why are you upside down?

[obsidian wyvern]

travelled to australia

[bronze breach]

Down under

[hearty flame]

Oh ok how is it there

[misty spindle]

oh wait Martin O'Donnell did Reach too so I guess Halo CE to Reach

[hearty flame]

If someone tries to steal your wallet, throw your tourist boomerang at their earth harness & they will fall off

[fleet canyon]

Hi, recently I got MCC from steam but I can't really find matches in Halo CE, why?

[hearty flame]

No one plays CE on MCC unfortunately

[obsidian wyvern]

🫡

[hearty flame]

MCC mp populations are super low, makes matchmaking hard

[misty spindle]

most popular games on MCC I think is 3 and Reach isn't it?

[bronze breach]

Let it bite you, we all know that a spider bite will turn you into spiderman

[hearty flame]

Don't do it, it will just make you Australian

[round laurel]

Spider went poof

[hearty flame]

You'll eat vegemite:(

[round laurel]

Yup.

[bronze breach]

Joking, it wont turn you into spiderman.

It will turn you into super saiyan God super saiyan

[obsidian wyvern]

why did it get deleted wtf

[round laurel]

Becasue it's a huntsmen

The creepiest critter on earth

The facehugger of earth

[bronze breach]

Looks like something from Harry Potter tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

did a mod do that accidentally i cant tell

[unique vigil]

I just watched someone get 60 kills in a BTB match, dude probably hasn't seen sunlight in weeks

[obsidian wyvern]

did i do that accidentally lol

[round laurel]

I mean, spiders are pretty triggering dude

[hearty flame]

🤷

[obsidian wyvern]

cmon theres no way youre scared by the sight of a spider online

[fleet canyon]

That's really unfortunate, actually I really loved the campaign, except for the library level, that felt like a chore kinda but everything else was really good

[obsidian wyvern]

not you force*

[round laurel]

Huntsmen terrify me, look at them! lol

But no, a compressed jpeg of them doesn't scare me

[obsidian wyvern]

thankfully 🙏

[hasty zinc]

people with severe Arachnophobia can be

[fleet canyon]

I was able to find a match in halo 2 but I think I happened once only

[bronze breach]

Pigeons are worse. That just randomly fly at you or just passed your head

Annoying critters

[obsidian wyvern]

i hate spiders irl, the spider isnt gonna jump out my screen

[hasty zinc]

can you prove that?

[obsidian wyvern]

if the message wasnt deleted 😤

[round laurel]

Pigeons are fine, it's the seagulls that are a menace to the British isles.

[hearty flame]

It got deleted because it jumped out at Aegis

[fleet canyon]

What about the Xbox version of halo ce?

[pure gate]

Is Halo 2 on MCC active?

[bronze breach]

Anyway night all. It's way past my sleep time. Should have gone sleep at 11 lol

👋

[obsidian wyvern]

👋

[fleet canyon]

@pure gate I found one match there, so I guess a little bit

[obsidian wyvern]

idk whos smart idea it was to make the default sensitivity like 15 on a scale of 1-10 for the main menu of this game

[hearty flame]

You mean Xbox One/Series version of MCC's Halo CE? Since MCC multiplayer is cross-platform, you'll likely have the same luck.

If you mean any other version of CE, there are no other live forms of matchmaking.

[floral pollen]

Thank you for this, I shall use it

[fleet canyon]

I actually meant these, I still my two Xbox 360 but I found our servers were shot down last year

[fleet canyon]

That's true when I play it on PC, many are playing it from Xbox, and I still haven't found a CE match

[fading fractal]

anyone wanna play 2v2 h5 forge (pc)

Note to self, and everyone here
Do not enable Xbox Game Bar recording in google
I was trying to save sumn, so I did it, now it makes my screen flash black, and crashes any other apps I have open when I open it

Idk how to turn it off, and if I can

I'm gonna see if restarting fixes it, but if not, then I'm gonna have to look into stuff further

[obsidian wyvern]

?

I can use it fine on chrome

[floral pollen]

Maybe its my laptop then

[round laurel]

You can turn it off.

[obsidian wyvern]

hopefully just a one off if anything

[floral pollen]

but my screen goes black for brief periods, and it crashes everything else, but my laptop and chrome itself, and it happens every time I open chrome

[round laurel]

... have you restarted yet?

[floral pollen]

I'm about to

[round laurel]

Try that before disabling the Xbox app

Yeah always turn it off and back on again first.

[floral pollen]

I'll see if I'm back, or if I get bopped off the internet when I restart, so I should be back in like 5 mins

It is very much still doing it, and worse now

[round laurel]

The newest game is Halo Infinite

If you'd like to play the classics, Halo: The Master Chief Collection is your answer

Tied there with reach

I’ve been trying to get into infinite recently. Let me know if you guys ever want to team up

[rare cedar]

Use the LFG channels to find folks 😄

[dull trellis]

Will do

[rare cedar]

and I'll let this one slide as not picking H3 as your top game since you're new

[fickle drift]

So generous. 🙄

[dull trellis]

I’m lucky

[rare cedar]

[dreamy stirrup]

H2 and H5 tied for first?

good choice.

[fickle drift]

I have no comment on that emoji.

[dull trellis]

YES !!! Best of both worlds

Can’t deny how good those snipers felt on 5

[rare cedar]

with the amount of aim assist in halo 5, I believe it yea!

OHHHHH SNAP !!

Wish they could of added some Japanese contents on MCC

I'm still hopelessly waiting for either Mod Support or some sort of add on menu as a substitute (like the 3DS Homebrew Hshop) for MCC Xbox... as theres some neat MCC mods but they're only playable on MCC PC....

[smoky token]

The 3DS homebrew system goes against Nintendo TOS

a similar system for Xbox would be the same

[torpid junco]

Guys I need friends, who else is 19 and likes limp biscuit

[fickle drift]

Against Nintendo tos
Egen thought they already made it unusable

[spark comet]

I have thought of something

Dead chat

[lusty star]

[sacred hedge]

Bro I’m so late but the og writer for halo was layed off…

Bro I thought he left after reach

[spark comet]

For some reason

And I don’t mean this as an insult or something like that but

[left bone]

ahyuk

[spark comet]

For some reason the prophets remind me of E.T.

[sacred hedge]

Those old wrinkled up nut of an alien

Ac I don’t have an answer for cuz I play only halo 2-halo reach

[smoky token]

Joe Staten went to go work for Microsoft and then was put on 343’s team for Halo Infinite, if that’s what you mean

He then was put onto other projects shortly after launch iirc

so, no, not laid off

[sacred hedge]

WHAA

Lesgo

[left bone]

ahyuk

[spark comet]

I like the drones

[sacred hedge]

E.t did it better

[spark comet]

Yea

[lavish matrix]

at the time of Reach, Joe Staten was still at Bungie. He left Bungie and joined Microsoft Studios/Xbox Game Studios shortly after Destiny

[spark comet]

The brutes remind me of yetis

[sacred hedge]

Wait bro was involved in destiny

[lavish matrix]

uh, yea

[sacred hedge]

Wish I can send a pic to show my appreciation

[lavish matrix]

there was a big controversy on how his original vision for Destiny was cut up by activision

this is pretty old news

aaahahhhuyukkuhyuk

I haven’t been big on halo since reach

So I’m for sure out the loop

[spark comet]

Hero’s in a half shell

[sacred hedge]

Anyone in here know if aim assist been nerfed a bit?

[lavish matrix]

relative to what

[sacred hedge]

Heard back like a year ago aim assist for real was on wheel chair

[lavish matrix]

i don't know what that means but aim assist in infinite is generally lower compared to previous Halo titles

[sacred hedge]

That’s good to hear

I’m stuck on mouse and keyboard bro I don’t wanna play halo if aim assist is gonna stab me in the 🍑

[lavish matrix]

well

people on both sides always complain the other input has an unfair advantage

[sacred hedge]

I play both sides

[left bone]

i use my tv remote to play

[lavish matrix]

controller players always say that kb+m is unfair cause of precision, kb+m players say controller is unfair because of aim assist

[sacred hedge]

I like controller more tho

[lavish matrix]

basically if you go in thinking the other input has an advantage over you then you are probably going to feel like that's the case when you play

even if there isn't empirical evidence suggesting that is the case

[sacred hedge]

I rather enjoy the game then think about this

Inputs&mechanic

[past jungle]

Halo 5 Forge PC can’t connect with XBOX platform, it’s outrageous, 343’s stupid decision makes Halo 5 ForgePC lose its meaning

[sacred hedge]

Whaa

[lavish matrix]

1. keep comments constructive
2. it's just a tool to allow forge maps to be made on PC. you can still play the maps on console

[sacred hedge]

We need firefight once more

Miss arguing with teammates having dumb debates

[past jungle]

343 always brings so many stupid decisions, I love halo 5, but what's the point of halo 5 forge pc? Can only be used to edit maps? The server is also independent

[lavish matrix]

the point is that some people find it easier to make/edit maps using PC controls

so that's what it's for

it was never intended nor advertised to be a PC port of H5

[past jungle]

I think Halo 5 should not continue to engage in XBOX exclusives. This is different from Microsoft’s current XBOX philosophy. I think 343 should remake Halo 5 or be lazy and directly port it to PC.

[near abyss]

who i gotta beg for a pc port though eheh

[lavish matrix]

that's great that you think that

[past jungle]

Instead of thinking about getting that halo full of bad reviews every day: Infinity

[lavish matrix]

you say that like H5 didn't also get bad reviews

[past jungle]

I can't stand 343 anymore, if I can swear now, I will definitely...

[lavish matrix]

i wouldn't recommend trying to swear

also, again, keep comments constructive

[grand haven]

infinite is good but it could be better

best mechanics just lacks content

[fickle drift]

Honestly rank sucks

Really ain't fun but br everywhere and nothing but br

[near abyss]

I want to play infinite more, but I'm Bad ™️ and I feel bad for my teammates

[past jungle]

Halo 5 has the most bad reviews except for plot issues and false propaganda, other aspects are crushing Halo: Infinite, I think you understand

Halo 4's multiplayer online mode, I'm tired of playing, I think Halo 5 is a very fun work, except for some problems with the plot, but Halo: Infinite, I can't stand it anymore

[lavish matrix]

It's fine if you prefer H5 to Infinite but that doesn't mean 343 needs to shift focus just to please you

not really a realistic option

[lavish matrix]

as long as you try your best, no one can ask more of you

[near abyss]

True! Or more solo, then there's no one but me to eat dirt lol

[smoky token]

could always do bot bootcamp

actually wait, did they add that back yet?

ik there were problems with the XP system

[fickle drift]

Idk but imma never do rank again

Easily the worst thing about halo infinite

[lavish matrix]

imo ranked is the worst thing about every mp game

[vapid siren]

ranked modes can be a vibe

that said halo ranked is pretty mixed bag imo

[past jungle]

ok

[vapid siren]

[fickle drift]

The lack of weapon variety is thr biggest issue and having 5 br racks sucks

[vapid siren]

i just want bandit starts and a shock rifle aa nerf

br starts and shock having hipfire aa just makes the game feel too forgiving on aim while making players way more powerful than they should be

[fickle drift]

I want diverse weapon ranks

[lavish matrix]

i'm fine with weapon diversity as long as it doesn't result in weapon redundancy

[smoky token]

what’s so bad about weapon redundancy?

genuine question

[fickle drift]

Get boring and stale

[vapid siren]

eh in this case it wouldnt really be creating much redundancy, but think back to how in older halos things got kinda weird with how the carbine and br and even the dmr all had extreme overlap

[lavish matrix]

redundancy ends up diluting the weapon pool. work goes into making what effectively amount to reskins

[vapid siren]

like i just want bandit starts cause the gun's hard to use in a good way compared to the br so we actually have a skillgap that exists for once in halo's lifetime

[lavish matrix]

h5 was the biggest culprit of this where you had like 5 versions of the same warthog that were all just different cosmetic changes

[vapid siren]

fair but also its own issue separated due to the overarching macro of the req system

[lavish matrix]

i think it's fine to expand the weapon sandbox so long as time and effort is put into making new weapons feel unique and different to existing weapons in the sandbox

[vapid siren]

i really just want the game to actually have a legitimate feeling skillgap and competitive feel that the compbros go on and on about on twitter but in an actually tangible way

[lavish matrix]

ideally serving a different role than what other weapons occupy

[vapid siren]

give me bandit starts, kill the stupid aim assist for shock rifle hipfire

make recoil on burst weapons actually exist

[lavish matrix]

design a system where the game adjusts difficulty of weapon usage based on your skill

[vapid siren]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting on paper but ngl not a fan

[lavish matrix]

i bet you aren't

lol

[vapid siren]

there should be consistency in the rules no matter the skill level

having an "easier" gun for lower ranks/skills just encourages smurfing and then you have conflicting/muddied info in player guides

the desire to get better kinda gets diminished as you then are effectively punished for doing better in a tangible way

[lavish matrix]

which is why we need more robust skill measuring systems that can detect fakers accurately

[vapid siren]

pretty sure trueskill2 does, but whatever mutation Infinite uses kinda seemed to get in the way according to Menke way back

[lavish matrix]

either that or brainwash all of gamer community to remove the desire to smurf

[vapid siren]

impossible sadly

[lavish matrix]

trueskill2 doesn't work well in a low pop environment, and so concessions have to be made to allow matches to actually happen

[vapid siren]

csr focused mm prolly isnt helping a ton either

but hey we did it reddit we saved ranked

[lavish matrix]

and even if trueskill2 does a better job predicting performance and victory than trueskill1, the system is still abuseable

[balmy lance]

You can swear freely wym

[lavish matrix]

please do not encourage users to break the rules

[vapid siren]

tbf every system is abuseable its just a matter of time and effort

[balmy lance]

But it's possible without getting warned/muted

[lavish matrix]

consider yourself notified

[balmy lance]

🤔

[lavish matrix]

on one hand, the fact that the TS2 whitepaper was made publicly available was great from a learning perspective, but the spreading of that behind-the-scenes knowledge also made it easier for people to figure out the "best" ways to climb the skill ladders

i.e. selfish play

[balmy lance]

As in test

[vapid siren]

i'd argue players would still poke and prod to find that info out themselves

trying to optimize progression/ranking is always gonna be a priority for many players and is just inevitable

[lavish matrix]

which is why we need that brainwashing machine, I'm telling you

[vapid siren]

not only that but winning and playing well in those wins is generally a safe bet on "how rank fast"

like you ain't gonna get onyx on a loss

especially if you go 5-15 with only 3 assists in a full length ctf match on aquarius

[lyric burrow]

bruh. isn't the point of sbmm to have reasonable balanced matches? i just had a tac slayer match where one guy got an overkill on us as soon as we spawned and was 12-1 before we were even 30 seconds in

[rare cedar]

If anybody here needs a sign to buy MCC, here it is

[void magnet]

Consequence of pop. If you want fast matchmaking, you sacrifice some balance for matches

[winter venture]

I already bought it when it came out

Ima be in a call if you need me

[void magnet]

I’ve bought it for myself and like 3 others

😎

[lone turtle]

10$ halo mcc ???

It's 2$ for me where I live

[lyric burrow]

in hindsight, we had an onyx and 2 diamonds (if armour emblems are anything to go by) so i guess the matchmaker just thought we were up to the task of taking on mr. super ultra hardcore esports pro or whatever (spoiler alert, we weren't)

[balmy lance]

I'm angry that they don't have this sale on the Microsoft store which is where I got MCC from

[balmy lance]

Wth

Where do u live

Exact country and street name please 📝

[lone turtle]

😆Idk because of region but I live in india

It's just 224₹ which converts to 2.7$

[rare cedar]

Lucky you!

[lone turtle]

Even the gamepass ultimate is cheap

Like 5$😆

[faint mantle]

I imagine you're limited to gifting within a certain region?

Because I am

[lone turtle]

Idk about gifting to other regions

[frozen wasp]

Hi all, I have a question, can I launch Halo infinite campaign mode directly from Steam?
Thank you.

[lone turtle]

There are region restrictions for games purchased as gift Ig

[faint mantle]

Yeah, that's what I meant

For instance, I live in Mexico and my gifts can't go outside of Latin America, because our games are cheaper in comparison to the US

[lone turtle]

Marketing strat

[rare cedar]

If you bought the campaign version of Infinite, then yes you can launch the game and play

[lyric burrow]

i just had my face stomped in by a 343 employee 😄

[smoky token]

which one

[lyric burrow]

muggsy

at least, i'm assuming they're a 343 employee since they had a 343 nameplate

[floral pollen]

Did they have a blue fire effect?
Like Judgement Helm kinda, but blue?

[lyric burrow]

i have to admit, i don't remember lmao. it was super fiesta so everything was way too chaotic, plus i only entered halfway through so all i really remember was just ... explosions, everywhere

[floral pollen]

Ah, lol
Could prolly look back at the match in Theatre

[smoky token]

looks like a 343 employee

[rare cedar]

Muggsy is really good

[smoky token]

(don’t ping him)

[smoky token]

You played with him?

[rare cedar]

Once

He plays with Uny and Tashi a lot

[smoky token]

lemme rephrase

with or against

[rare cedar]

It’s a wrecking crew

With

[smoky token]

I would call them the nolife squad but they get paid

lol

[rare cedar]

I think he’s on the HCS team

[timber charm]

I matched Uny only once

And ya he had a rough go

[lyric burrow]

he fell off the map a few times but i think that may have been him trying to get more favourable weapons, not that he needed them to be rolling all over our faces lol

[smoky token]

Last time I played with Uny he got an Unfrig on Fragmentation with a scorpion

Perched up on a rock structure and our spawn and sniped the enemy across the map with a tank

[floral pollen]

I've never matched with a 343 person lol, prolly bc I play on local servers, and I'm in Canada, not the US

[timber charm]

Scorpion snipers are notorious

[lyric burrow]

eyy fellow canuck

i'm also on local servers but i'm western canadia

[smoky token]

I joined him

Sam was there too

and @vapid siren

[floral pollen]

I've never been with or against anyone I even knew, not specifically 343, besides SolVoyager one game

Still remember that BTB game, turned into a manhunt

Our whole team had a bunch of tanks and rockets and stuff bc it was heavies, so there was a lot of chaos lol

Only time I've ever matched randomly with someone I knew

[rare cedar]

:0

Add me and I’ll inv ya sometime down the road

[vapid siren]

ive naturally matched with and against a few 343 guys

that said i am usually able to harass uny whenever he streams with reckless abandon

[floral pollen]

I'll see if we can make times work ever lol
I'm usually on to play from like 10 hours from now

[rare cedar]

I have a thing called a job around that time

[smoky token]

I’ll add you on xbox whenever i’m home

[timber charm]

Is Uny the best 343 player?

[rare cedar]

I too am known to stream snipe Uny to make his life miserable during his matches

[floral pollen]

[floral pollen]

I have no unicorn emblems

[smoky token]

I love my fire

[floral pollen]

I could have gotten the Earth one, but I didn't have ppl to stream to at the time

[faint mantle]

The hermit's tactic, nice.

[floral pollen]

Too much work for me lol

[rare cedar]

Fire was for being in a monthly update sometime ago, and Cosmos is… special

[floral pollen]

No, I mean time zones for night time and stuff

[obsidian solar]

A: hey guys it's been a bit since I got in here how's it been,

[obsidian solar]

I gotta push myself to adjust how I sleep for a big trip

[floral pollen]

Oof, well, hope it all goes well

[obsidian solar]

It should there has been more than a year of planning and zoom meetings

Plus if it goes wrong there is going to be a ungodly amount of unhappy parents

[floral pollen]

I think I'm gonna sleep in the next few mins, but I'll prolly be on later and hopefully tomorrow night

Hey by any chances can someone help me I just installed the master Chris collection and I can even login in I have tried fixing it find different vids but none of them work can someone Dm to tell me what to do

[frozen wasp]

Of course I have bought the campaign. What I'd like to do is launch it without having to go through the multiplayer first.

[faint mantle]

Yooo

I just installed Bluestacks and got a BSOD at the same time, yet it came out fine

[hexed geyser]

If Mii's had blood & gore in them would that decanonize them from Mario Kart?

[winter flame]

I would recommend u wait until the update tomorrow (or the day after tomorrow) and then if u still have the issue post in #1075989764026675210 including whether ur using steam or ms store

[manic mason]

I appreciate it hope you have a good one

[winter flame]

No worries fingers crossed the update sorts it

[bronze breach]

Mistakes were made staying up until 11.30pm

Feel knackered

[faint mantle]

That BSoD ruined all my possibilities of running Bluestacks, apparently

[bronze breach]

What's bsod?

[faint mantle]

Blue Screen of Death

[bronze breach]

RIP

[faint mantle]

And Windows couldn't even fully take over

[smoky token]

[bronze breach]

You sure have alot of two meals a day tabs open

[faint mantle]

I was looking for the best deal on an audiobook

And I did, eighteen dollars

[bronze breach]

Is that an audio site? I thought it was a takeaway site lmao

[faint mantle]

I installed the X version but it won't fully run because it needs a repair, but can't perform said repair

[smoky token]

just to check, do you have virtualization on in your BIOS

and what type of boot format are you using

[faint mantle]

I just restarted the computer so I'll have to check later, what's it for?

[smoky token]

virtualization in bios?

it helps your CPU run virtualized applications

[faint mantle]

Yep, not even Bluestacks 5 wants to run

[smoky token]

virtual machines, emulators, blue stacks

etc

[bronze breach]

Titan, did you leave your pc on again or just in orbit. Discord says your on ED for 1 day now.

[smoky token]

if I was in orbit I’d be out of fuel very quickly

I’m on the main menu

[bronze breach]

[faint mantle]

Ah, here we go

[smoky token]

make sure that’s enabled

[faint mantle]

And the app I'm looking for ain't in Bluestacks 5 either

I'll just listen on my phone

Lionbridge being an unethiqual partner as always... (they are[were ?] the localisator of Halo in Europe, and doing a really poor job in Infinite)

[jade hare]

Strange issues you have Merty. Never seen this behaviour. But I wonder if its bluestack, or something else causing it.

[faint mantle]

Imma go to bed, it's almost 2:00 AM

I'll listen to the book tomorrow

I weirdly had to disable virtualisation to undervolt my laptop’s CPU using throttlestop

So I had to choose between android apps or my laptop overheating lol

Suffice to say I went with better temps lol

Ideally Dell could just not lock down Intel XTU but that’s asking a lot from Dell

[faint mantle]

I use Throttlestop on mine, it's a godsend of a program
