squad battle >>

need to see one rock ramp fixed on valhalla but

[limpid nova]

Liking the new maps but Valhalla has been kinda sweaty not enjoyable

[hasty zinc]

so business as usual

[next bluff]

my match was great

wasps and wraits doing thir job

[limpid nova]

The Valhiem was the one I was looking forward to but I'll see if can actually move around the map

Like now would've been good to do bandit load outs hah

[next bluff]

ar sidekick im chilling but thats just me

[hasty zinc]

yeah I got a sweet double with the wraith earlier

[astral palm]

Nice one.

[stoic rapids]

guy got bamboozled

[ancient pond]

when we getting bootcamp back, anyone got any news

[fossil skiff]

What coating you got on? I’ve never seen a green and blue like that

[vapid siren]

thats granular

[steady jolt]

Either #announcements or #halo-support-news will have details as soon as it's ready to come back

[cedar turret]

That sounds a bit sandy

[quick escarp]

I'm sad, I gathered 14 gamers for halo reach but it isn't crossplay 😔

[fossil skiff]

Makes me want M&Ms.

…or those rainbow chocolate chips ahoy…

[hasty zinc]

it was from the Nabisco Infinite promo so that makes sense

[next bluff]

its good day to be h3 kid

and reach kid i loved squad battle there too

halo reach squad battle iykyk

[void spruce]

thats what I grew up on. lol

[ancient pond]

i grew on h2 and even though i love 3, 2 will always be my pick for the best halo

completley improves on everything that CE built up

[fickle drift]

The helmet attachment Ghostlink Adaptation, which came with the Flenser helmet for Chimera, used to go on more than that one Chimera helmet. I liked that, and paid for that in part. After the new season came out they removed it from all but Flenser. I contacted support and they say this is intended and not a bug. Wtf. It was on more helmets and I paid for it. But o k •_•

[hearty flame]

Absolutely mentos

Is the playlist of community forge maps up this week?

[ancient pond]

i wish

[hearty flame]

I wish they'd do a playlist of community remasters, that'd be litty on a stack

[ancient pond]

does playlisted forge games count as matchmade if its in matchmade?

[vapid siren]

do mathmade games count as matchmade games

[stoic rapids]

if you got the match through mm, it's matchmade

[torn plover]

Anyone wanna play cursed halo with me

I’m bored

[haughty wraith]

Currently recreating the map Siberia from Pavlov Shack in Infinite

[ancient pond]

that sounds sick

its such a learning curve for me, never touched forge in the older days and im finding it pretty challengine but also rewarding

[haughty wraith]

It's going to be an 8v8 map since the map is actually huge, you can find the siberia map from pavlov shack on google, i'm laying out the building structure rn

Or FFA

[ancient pond]

cool

[obsidian wyvern]

yk it can be 12v12 in infinite

[ancient pond]

i working on other xbox og titles as maps

im trying to make a map psychonauts related

[next bluff]

we just need standoff remake

[ancient pond]

for psychonauts or halo lol

i mean infinites not the worst of the barrel

discounting 4's multiplayer i'd say its the best of the new trilogy

i just hate the achivements

i'm currently 141/144 the only things i need to do are finish a bp, kill 2 players with one shock rifle shot, and deposit 5 seeds in a matchmade stockpile game

the latter of which is near impossible thanks to the devs being unable to completley remove it for some reason and just making it near impossible to play.

[cinder berry]

Stockpile is getting harder to play to because there are less and less people who know how to form the damn chain

[ancient pond]

yep/

and because of that the minority of players who want to play it not because they like it, but because they want to 100% the game, cant finish infinite.

how hard would it be think of this. how hard could it possibly be to change the achivement to be available for both matchmade AND custom games???

like they did it for the medic!!! achievement, why can't they do it with this.

[forest lagoon]

Go find a repulser and become the chain

[ancient pond]

the repulsor remains my favorite

cant tell you how many times i've clutched a fight by just grav lifting myself upwards with it, so useful

[next bluff]

stockpile is mid

[ancient pond]

i hate it

but i need it ;-;

[obsidian wyvern]

for the achievement i assume

[ancient pond]

yep. 1 of 3 i need to 100%

the other two are fine, just take time.

[obsidian wyvern]

whats the other 2

[ancient pond]

battle tested, finish the pass, and watt say you, two birds with one shock rifle blast

[obsidian wyvern]

that shock one is whack

ive done it so many times, i only just got it recently

[ancient pond]

was hoping to wait until bot bootcamp to get watt say you, but since im farming btb for both stocpile and the battlepass, i might as well pick up a shock rifle when i see it.

[obsidian wyvern]

the stockpile one i got after agess and decided i might as well get the achievement done

[ancient pond]

god dude why cant they test features BEFORE they come out. bot bootcamp should've been changed to fit the new progression system and thats it

[ancient pond]

wish i went for it earlier

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah the weighting is hella low now

which is a good thing if you dont want the achievement

[ancient pond]

well i do so its not a good thing for me

[obsidian wyvern]

everyone always says for the achievement you just need to deal damage, when i finally got it, looks like it only registered upon killing

[ancient pond]

its killing yeah

i was told damage the first dude in the chestplate with the first shot, hit the second guy in the head to kill both

[obsidian wyvern]

idk if the purging shock rifle counts but it does heavy damage between multiple players

[ancient pond]

yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

2 hits on anyone and you can take out a whole crowd

[ancient pond]

ive been trying to hit crowds protecting a returning flag or people capturing a zone

i just hope they decide to change the bank achievement or at least do a weeklong playylist that has a higher chance of stockpile.

[next bluff]

i think 75 kills to win is a little weird, it was 100 in like all halo games

[placid stone]

am i allowed to ask people to follow someone else on twitch? its so he gets at least 200 followers so he can play all games LASO

hes a friend and i want him to suffer is all

[haughty wraith]

Yes, it's more of a medium sized map i suppose

[fickle drift]

Hey guys I love Halo

[carmine fractal]

We need the 69v69 btb update

[fickle drift]

Guys is it better to use V-Sync in this game singleplayer/MP or not?

nevermind

[jaunty yoke]

Quick question guys

Can game consoles get viruses?

[carmine fractal]

They can yes

Rare cases but indeed

[smoky token]

Yes, especially xboxes, but not easily

They use a modified version of Windows so in theory all windows viruses would work on an xbox

But the issue is how closed off of a system that the xbox is

[jaunty yoke]

All the more reason to beware then
Currently every single one of the Xbox games have 1 user in the Looking For Group function with the tittle "add me and let's play" and it's a bot, which I'm certain may contain a virus

[carmine fractal]

Those 18+ bots sure are annoying or any bots really

Always ignore what they say never follow the links to be safe

Report the account and move on

[jaunty yoke]

Yep

Aw hell nah
Exoprimal won't have crossplay lobbies 😭

[obsidian wyvern]

shame

its kinda expected from every game nowadays

[carmine fractal]

When there's crossplay issues can arise

So until its more stably adopted I would think it's best to stay like this for games.

Or of course have a toggle Cross play option

[timid crane]

Alright

One week gents, it’s official

One week left

[fickle drift]

Until Barbieheimer? Yep

[hasty zinc]

official diablo account btw

[carmine fractal]

I love it when game companies aren't always serious and ignore their fan base

Not naming names cough cough Activision for one

[hasty zinc]

you just did name a name though

I trusted you

[carmine fractal]

Trust is only given with action and earned I believe I have done neither

But I changed it to make it easier for my friends to identify Mr

Me

[hasty zinc]

wat

[ancient pond]

incredibly rarely. xbox has built in security but some foreign links given by other people can bypass that. don't open external links from someone you don't trust.

[fickle drift]

Amba

HALOOOOO

[ancient pond]

HALLOOOOO

[fickle drift]

ITSS REAAAL

[carmine fractal]

Yeah halo is a thing that's happened

[cedar turret]

It’s more of a self fulfilling prophecy.

[jaunty yoke]

Halo, it's finished

No, I think we're just getting started

And bam, Master Chief has another helmet underneath his helmet

[dreamy stirrup]

@eager mango can't self promo here but you can post in #1076327824924872755 maybe 🙂

[gusty elk]

Anyone want to play btb ?

[carmine fractal]

Might want to post this in the applicable lfg too

[half eagle]

hey guys ran into sort of an issue with halo mcc I went into my settings and put it on fullscreen when I applied the setting my game disappeared its still on the task bar and if I hover the mouse over the invisible screen I can see the cursor change in game but I cant see the game at all I would appriciate a way to fix this

[hasty zinc]

did you try closing it?

and then re-launching?

[half eagle]

yes several times

[hasty zinc]

maybe alt+enter while you have the game active

[half eagle]

let me try

still invisible

[hasty zinc]

strange, I'd post in #1075989764026675210

[fossil skiff]

Aegis when’s the new didact smirkle dropping

I would try it myself but I’m at my dorm until Friday night

[rugged moss]

https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1678782882494525440?s=20

[hasty zinc]

I'm not talented enough

[rapid plover]

whats the names of the old maps in the new 8v8 playlist?

[hasty zinc]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/squad-battle

[rapid plover]

ty

[hasty zinc]

you're welcome

[brave prairie]

I read that as squid battle for whatever reason

[ornate hatch]

I wish the bosses would respawn after you complete campain mode

I also wish you had the big mechs and stuff

The mantis and what not

This feels like something out of a therussianbadger video

[vapid siren]

its too cohesive for badger

no source engine sounds

no screaming

[ornate hatch]

True, which is why I said it feels like

[ancient pond]

if they were gonna reveal cheifs canoncial face (we dont count master cheeks from the series) it would be at the end of his journey; a death scene or a retirment scene.

[vapid siren]

weve... seen his face

like... multiple times lmao

[ancient pond]

well halo 4 yeah

i mean his FULL face in one conescutive emotional shot

[ornate hatch]

Bro, I wish there were flyable pelicans

Cause like, yeah I like the wasp and all but I wanna fly the big boi

[ancient pond]

okay heres how you make halo infinites open world feel more alive:
1: ODSTs eventually arrive at FOBs and can be requested to help out. they have healthbars and are seen as priority over marines
2: flyable vehicles OTHER than the wasp, including the pelican. perhaps to access other parts of the ring you need to drive a pelican
3: add scarabs from 2 and 3, roaming the world that can be destroyed and maybe even hijacked
4: add world events in which you and a squad of marines or ODSTs or even spartans pilot ships to destroy banished freigters.
5: add a kraken bossfight. the kraken was a halo 5 concept i and many others actually enjoyed, and i'd love to see it again.

this is a dream though, 343 already said they arent touching the campaign

[ornate hatch]

Damn

Sadge, it seems they are only touching multi-player

[ancient pond]

yet they expect this to be our halo for the next 7 years...

till 2030 all we have to look forward to is cosmetics WOOOOO

maybe by then playable elites will be a feature

[ornate hatch]

Idk

Why not just be happy that you even have a new halo game and stop complaining about stuff

[ancient pond]

not complaining

[ornate hatch]

🤨

[ancient pond]

just saying, they expect this to be a halo game for 10 years, but are not going to add anything but cosmetics. why would people stick around for 10 years

[smoky token]

They didnt say this would be the only halo game for 10 years post launch

[vapid siren]

given that everyone in the games industry agrees that games take 5+ years at this point unless you do some obscene crunch or cut heavy corners

kinda yeah

like the pace has far exceeded the usual 3 year cadence people have kinda gotten accustomed to

[ornate hatch]

I just like beating grunts to death

[ancient pond]

well yeah i dont like crunch more than anyone else

[cinder berry]

Halo just isn’t a good franchise to use for a live service game

[vapid siren]

because

[ancient pond]

^^^^^^

agreed

[vapid siren]

and why is that

[ornate hatch]

Earlier while playing halo I accidentally ran over a marine

[vapid siren]

a predominantly multiplayer game with tons of room for growth in both the dev made and player made spheres sounds like... exactly the kind of game that it works on

[cinder berry]

Live service games usually last based on gradual changes to the gameplay

[vapid siren]

given how little change the halo fanbase wants from halo 3 then we're perfectly suited

[cinder berry]

But change the gameplay of Halo, an uproar starts

[elfin glacier]

ah yes they're only adding cosmetics
lol

[ornate hatch]

Sometimes I forget that grunts are like as tall as me

[ancient pond]

in season 3 they added a progresion system BETA. have you ever heard of a beta progression system before???

[dreamy stirrup]

what?

i'm not sure you are correct, sir.

[ancient pond]

i feel like when a game has a progression system because it has a battlepass, it kinda just comes with the battlepass.

[ancient pond]

right here, cept its season 2 not 3 my mistake.

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-infinite-update-september-2022

[somber acorn]

is it worth to read all the halo books?

[elfin glacier]

yes

[dreamy stirrup]

you are still incorrect but okay.

[gleaming swift]

Are they canon

[dreamy stirrup]

yes books are canon.

[gleaming swift]

nice

[ancient pond]

sam i have a question about stockpile

[cinder berry]

Normally the best kind of games to use the live service format are RPGs. Where the core gameplay loop is more flexible

But Halo is not that

[ancient pond]

yes

[vapid siren]

the only time beta is mentioned is for forge

[ornate hatch]

I wish the audio tablet things were easier to find, because I've found almost all of them in one area but I'm missing like two in the place where you find a scorpion tank and have to blow up the four pillar things

[ancient pond]

destiny 2 for example has a fantastic live service

[ancient pond]

beta match xp, its right there dude

below 30 tier battlepass

[ornate hatch]

And I'm trying to 100% the campaign mode

[cinder berry]

And who knows how mad people will be if Halo does decide to be an RPG

[ancient pond]

its on the image

[vapid siren]

match xp was for battle pass

[ancient pond]

yes

[vapid siren]

not progression system which is atm its own thing

my brother in christ

[somber acorn]

they tried to do a halo rpg before but it was scrapped

[ancient pond]

bruh your not gonna sit here and tell me match xp ISNT a progression system.

[dreamy stirrup]

it's not

[ancient pond]

how????

[vapid siren]

it applies to battle pass only

[dreamy stirrup]

because it's for your Battle Pass.

[ancient pond]

what else would we be progressing

[vapid siren]

progression system, largely defined by the community btw, is career rank

[ancient pond]

other than the medals that we just added

[dreamy stirrup]

your Career Rank....?

[ornate hatch]

Bros arguing with the devs lmao

[ancient pond]

yeah, so that was JUST added.

[vapid siren]

i would know its all you guys ranted about for like a year and a half on reddit

[elfin glacier]

you know they added more than those things btw

[dreamy stirrup]

okay well nvm i'll just let Mr Blank explain it all since he knows it better than me i suppose

😛

[elfin glacier]

like idk the most powerful version of forge to date

[vapid siren]

goes hard

[ornate hatch]

Bro is trying to prove he knows more than the people that MADE the game

[elfin glacier]

or a very impressive fileshare (with version control)

[ancient pond]

season 2 added a progression system for the battlepass. season 4 added a progression system for the career ranks. my point is that both of these should have launched with the live service. not trying to argue with a dev thats pretty much suicide lol

[ornate hatch]

Ok?, I don't care about the battlepass

[ancient pond]

its part of the live service

[ornate hatch]

Ok?, I don't care about it

[elfin glacier]

yes in a perfect world things would've gone smoother but due to circumstances that none of us have a full picture of, it didn't happen in an ideal way

but i mean, it's here now

[ancient pond]

the whole point me and alzw were trying to make was that halo was clearly not cut out for a live service

yes

[cinder berry]

I’m still not sure what does the career rank do

[ornate hatch]

Ok, good for you

[elfin glacier]

it's a fancy way of showing how much you played

the people wanted it, and now they have it

[ancient pond]

^

[cinder berry]

That’s it?

[ancient pond]

yep

that and infection were the two main things added to season 4, plus the quantum translocator and something else if im not mistaken

[somber acorn]

would've been good if they gave some rewards for milestones, you know, so skilled cosmetics could exist

[ancient pond]

yeah

[hasty zinc]

threat seeker

[ancient pond]

right

wait really?

coulda sworn threat seeker was in earlier but i guess not

[cinder berry]

Wait that’s not a joke? Career rank really just a bragging piece?

[hasty zinc]

you're thinking threat sensor

[ancient pond]

right

[smoky token]

Has it ever been anything else?

[ancient pond]

i havent tried infection yet ive been too busy grinding out the dang BTB to get a stockpile game

[somber acorn]

in previous games, yeah

[cinder berry]

Is it too much to expect it was?

[ancient pond]

apparently so

[cinder berry]

Aw man

[cedar turret]

Most progression like that is just, “I have more spare time for you” same with 152 and inheritor. I’d include maxing out in 4 but that didn’t take long

[ancient pond]

im not gonna complain about this season specifically since A, it added a lot and B its going to be far shorter than season 2.

[dreamy stirrup]

All you’ve done is complain lol

[elfin glacier]

pretty sure ranked is a reflection of skill
not career rank

[ancient pond]

you guys had it down for two whole games, even in halo 5. i just think a lot of stuff that launched WITH halo 4 and 5 that were added into these seasons either should have been there then or not at all

[wild sleet]

Infinite just hard crashed my Xbox

[ancient pond]

f

[elfin glacier]

oh wait sorry
me deletes a few braincells with a wrench

GUIZ WEN U SAW AN INHERITUR IN REACH U KNEW THEY HAD 10000 POUNDS OF SKILL!!! HAUNTED PILOT!!!!

[hasty zinc]

only the best had haunted helmet

[cedar turret]

And I know a guy who had 152 twice over.

[elfin glacier]

you could say they were

Hyper Lethal\™️

[ancient pond]

wow

[hasty zinc]

I wanna mute siege

[cedar turret]

How the hell anyone has that much time to game I’ll never know, but it was a thing

[elfin glacier]

literally mod abuse

[ancient pond]

sam if your still listening is there a planned playlist with a higher percentage of matchmade stockpile, or due to fan backlash is stockpile staying as rare as it is now

[hasty zinc]

want and doing are 2 differing things 😛

[cinder berry]

So… Infinite has no equivalent of the Haunted Pilot? Or Hayabusa?

[ancient pond]

the FLAMING SKULL nah im kidding

[void spruce]

cant please everyone it seems.

[ornate hatch]

Does anybody have a map of where everything is in infinite, I'm trying to 100% the campaign

[ancient pond]

i can give you the guy that helped me 100%

[hasty zinc]

https://mapgenie.io/halo-infinite/maps/zeta-halo

[ancient pond]

its in video form is that alright

[cedar turret]

A google search would answer that

[void spruce]

https://mapgenie.io/halo-infinite

[ancient pond]

oop nvm

[elfin glacier]

there's this one rpg game where the level scaling was done in a way where it was literally impossible to do in the normal campaign and in the multiplayer campaign you'd theoretically have to clear the highest level area 3 times a day for a couple thousand years to get max level

assuming the game was able to actually track your xp (32 bit moment)

basically the only way to hit that level was with cheats

[ornate hatch]

Pog

[humble echo]

:0

[ancient pond]

halo infinties campaign was fantastic and i wish they would do more with it, but again if were waiting until whatever time to the next halo game then whatever. we get there when we get there.

[cinder berry]

I thought the campaign was underwhelming

[elfin glacier]

not talking about infinite btw

[cinder berry]

The open map concept didn’t bring anything new to the table that a linear format couldn’t do

[elfin glacier]

https://dungeonsiege.fandom.com/wiki/Character_Leveling_and_Spell_Guide#Exponents_and_Grind
"Since experience is awarded for dealing damage, characters in a party will gain only a fraction of the experience points of a character running solo. But the table in the previous section brings good news to cooperative heroes: since levels are exponential benchmarks, a party's effective levels will not lag far behind a soloist."
"The xp's from monsters in Dungeon Siege also rise exponentially... until they reach a plateau at the end of the Elite mode. Players will start feeling this plateau in the 80-to-85 range, and level-ups will begin to drag."
"Subsequent levels in the 100's take truly extreme amounts of effort. If a player cleared the Elite-mode Volcanic Caverns three times daily, it would take four thousand years to become a Grand High Siegemaster (150 in all four disciplines). But it is unclear whether the game can actually track experience gains for high-level characters properly. A Level 146 character, whose experience totals are only saved in increments of 10 billion, might not get any experience at all for fighting unmodded monsters. "

[humble echo]

:0

[ancient pond]

thats true i guess.

[somber acorn]

OH MY GOD

[ornate hatch]

What

[somber acorn]

I CAN FINALLY PLAY HALO INFINITE AGAIN

[ornate hatch]

Ok

[ancient pond]

whys that gigayoda

[somber acorn]

It's been glitched for over a year

[ancient pond]

love your pfp lol

[ancient pond]

how so?

[somber acorn]

he worked out during degobah

[somber acorn]

i couldnt do multiplayer since jan 2021

[ancient pond]

how so, did it crash? or...

[elfin glacier]

wack

[somber acorn]

no one knew why it wasnt working

[ancient pond]

were you soft banned or something?

[somber acorn]

no

i put in a ticket and they had no idea

[cinder berry]

You must be patient zero of the infected

[ancient pond]

lmao

[ancient pond]

so they didn't do anything to compensate you for 2 years of unplayability?

[somber acorn]

no

[vapid siren]

@hasty zinc she got a conda

[ancient pond]

damn

[somber acorn]

idk if they do stuff like that

[ancient pond]

apparently not

feel like they shoulda done something for you for two whole years. it must have been under investigation at least since its now fixed

[smoky token]

Beautiful ship

[ancient pond]

perhaps they wanted it sorted out fast but couldnt figure out the issue and didnt want to notify every individual

[ancient pond]

is this on forge????

[smoky token]

Yes

[ancient pond]

holy god dude

[smoky token]

I made this in Halo Infinite forge

[ancient pond]

looks amazing

[smoky token]

The map is called Elite Dangerous

[ancient pond]

ok i am gonna check that out when i get the chance

[smoky token]

lol its not actually a forge map lol

this is from a game

called elite dangerous

[ancient pond]

o lmao

you had me

i beleive someone could make something similar forge is insane

its been such a learning curve for me, if the forge mode is anything close to what the devs used to make the game then i can see why they had a challenging time

which is why i feel bad that i just got into an argument with one....

[astral palm]

Interesting.

[ancient pond]

Sir.

[somber acorn]

now i can finally finish heroes of reach

[ancient pond]

have fun

you have premium right?

otherwise im pretty sure the other ones are closed im not too sure

i have to complete the current battlepass for an achievement so maybe then i'll buy the extra cosmetics

depends entirely on the expereince i have getting that and 2 other achievements for 100% completion, at the moment i just want it to be over

[astral palm]

How are you doing?

[ancient pond]

Good cheif, and yourself?

[astral palm]

I'm good.

[autumn tiger]

https://imgur.com/GiPn7RQ

I carried so hard

[somber acorn]

its weird, i was able to use the shop, customise, and buy the battlepass, but i couldnt play multiplayer

[fickle drift]

Hey can someone help me do halo 4 LASO right now?

on mcc

[pine fulcrum]

Can someone help? I did Halo 1-4 + ODST and Reach on legendary and I didn’t get helioskrill armour in Halo 5

[jaunty yoke]

It takes a bit of time to register

[pine fulcrum]

Oh okay

[pine fulcrum]

Are you still down?

[wild sleet]

Ultimate for Infinite this week Kinda eh, I’ll do it for the XP though

[pine fulcrum]

I don’t really play Halo infinite

[wild sleet]

I only play it cause I’m grinding the Career Rank in the game

[pine fulcrum]

oh lmao

[desert kayak]

update day

[small quest]

Hey does anyone know if the Kabuto helmet will be aviable in the future?

[novel tangle]

i miss exuberant

[floral pollen]

Prolly not since it was an event item, but I hope it does, bc its the only Yoroi helm I want

[cinder berry]

They should give the option of rerunning past fracture events

So we can get stuff we missed

They can’t use the excuse they’ll lose money since fractures are free in the first place

[astral palm]

Yeah.

[real river]

Thank you for bringing back the good ol classics! oh man Squads are so epic right now!

keep this as a permanent playlist! please!

[bronze bronze]

So kawaii😎

[elfin glacier]

unknown at this time. I do hope that 343 reruns events with the old passes or something

[timber charm]

Same, I want that max rank flex

Also wutever reward 343 are planning

[leaden storm]

Is infinite still having server issues?

Would like to enjoy a match if it doesnt make me want to push in a childs soft spot

[rare cedar]

What do you exactly mean by a child’s soft spot

[leaden storm]

the mushy spot on their head, I'd like to use it like a stress ball

[rare cedar]

You must have a similar head if you have those kind of thoughts

Which isn’t warranted here

[leaden storm]

It would appear this was not the server I thought it was

[rare cedar]

Enjoy the Mantle for a few days and next time, think before you type

[elder pasture]

what the

[fickle drift]

not anymore sadly

[stable apex]

Does anyone know why the community maps always trash your frame rate? I normally always get around 60 fps but wherever I'm on a community made map I get drops all the way down to like 20-25

Makes it basically unplayable

[granite sky]

Question: is live gold required to play the campaign co op

[jaunty yoke]

Still down? Also, xbox or pc?

[jaunty yoke]

Yes

[granite sky]

Ahh ok

[fickle drift]

Tommorow I can

And I’m on pc

There’s crossplay don’t worry

[jaunty yoke]

Ohhh man I would help you if I could but I'm on xbox and there's no campaign crossplay

[fickle drift]

There is

they just added it

What time zone do you have

[jaunty yoke]

Hmmm alright

I'm on Mexico City, currently it's 11:57 pm, I believe this is UTC -6

[fickle drift]

Your one hour behind me

I’ll let you know tommorow in DMS

[jaunty yoke]

Alright

I've done Halo 4 LASO on my own before and it wasn't so bad, hopefully we can do some progress

[fickle drift]

I keep on dying on the first level

[jaunty yoke]

Coop will make that easier

[fickle drift]

Sure will

[granite sky]

There's scaling for multiple players right

[jaunty yoke]

I can tell you the first mission is the hardest so it's all easier from there

[fickle drift]

Is it me or do others also put tape in the middle of the screen for there crosshair

[jaunty yoke]

As in more enemies spawn? No, there isn't

[granite sky]

Ohhh

[jaunty yoke]

They do to nulify the effects of the blind skull

The hardest missions are Dawn, Infinity and Midnight, other than that pretty simple

[fickle drift]

mmm

[jaunty yoke]

Reclaimer, the Mamooth mission, no lie, even on LASO, you can beat it without killing a single enemy lol

[fickle drift]

oh lol

I mean

open space and someone on the rocket launcher

Sounds pretty easy

[jaunty yoke]

I have some experience with LASO

Aside Infinite, ODST and Halo 4 are the easiest

I can help you with all of them except Halo 2, I needed help for that one and even so almost go insane

[fickle drift]

Hello. I go with train

[toxic temple]

Frequent disconnects and game crashes with infinite and you guys are worried about jokes in a server. Get your priorities straight lmao

[midnight mica]

You realise there mods right?

This is there priority

[toxic temple]

People losing elo in ranked and you can't be bothered to add a reconnect feature

[vernal path]

You realize you both spelled 'realize' wrong and used the wrong 'their' twice right?

[midnight mica]

Does anyone care no, are you helping no

[toxic temple]

hiring people to monitor discord but cant be bothered to hire someone to add common sense game features. ok buddy

[midnight mica]

I’m just saying don’t blame a team that ist responsible for the actual game you are just gonna get banned or muted

[toxic temple]

why cause they are on a power trip? I expect nothing less lmao. It's pathetic honestly

[midnight mica]

Like you said common sense

[timid crane]

Does it show what game I’m playing on my account?

[midnight mica]

Not for me no

[timid crane]

How do

I do

[midnight mica]

You gotta have your discord set to online too

[timid crane]

Mmmm

You sure?

[midnight mica]

Yes

[timid crane]

Cap

[midnight mica]

Is mine showing

[timid crane]

Uny is on “do not distrub” and it shows him playing infinite

[timid crane]

No

[midnight mica]

Well that wierd mine doesn’t do that

Are you pc or console?

Because maybe it’s just pc

[timid crane]

I’m on console

But it said what I would play originally

But then I started appearing offline on both and not it won’t fix even after I appear online

[midnight mica]

I couldn’t tell you then sorry

Actually mines working now I’m so confused

[timid crane]

Not for me

[midnight mica]

Just discord being discord I guess

[dusty peak]

Hey is it just me or does anyone else noticed that Spartan Agriana (I know I butcher the female commander spartan name) Armor seem to be pretty much more different like it more beaten up when rerunning the tutorial when you see it close up in halo infinite?

[sand nest]

I Want The Orbital Helm In Halo Infinite Using The Jacknife Shader To Look Like Unit 01 Of Neon Genesis Evangelion

[elfin glacier]

The mods aren't 343 staff lol

[elfin glacier]

Halo 4 orbital?

[sand nest]

Yes The Helm

Sorry Fotus

[wild sleet]

Got my tax payment in 3 business days so I can probably buy the S4 pass by then

[elfin glacier]

Oh yeah FOTUS does kinda look like it with thehorn

[midnight mica]

Make a YouTube video on it and write it off as well lol

[wild sleet]

Perhaps lmao

[untold epoch]

Today, is a special day

So here it is merry Christmas everybody’s having fun ITS CHRISTMAS

[fickle drift]

thank you

U too

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern merry christmas to you

[fickle drift]

Happy Halloween

[worthy ginkgo]

Squadd Battle is so fun!

[fickle drift]

Oh yea fr

First playlist to Mame me hop out of Infection

[worthy ginkgo]

Having a ton of fun hope we can see more classic maps come to the game soon

[thorny glen]

but it's July

[sand nest]

I Just Wish Halo MCC Cross Play Was Completed On All Games

[iron moss]

Can anyone tell me which multiplayer is active on MCC? I have tried playing multiplayer on Reach and they are taking forever to find players.

[worthy ginkgo]

Halo 3 is probably the most active

[iron moss]

Any specific mode?

[worthy ginkgo]

Br or Regular Slayer

[iron moss]

Regular

[wild sleet]

Both

[worthy ginkgo]

oh im saying those will be most polulatedd either or

[midnight mica]

Anyone else getting a big advantage with the latency?

[sand nest]

Only With My PC

[midnight mica]

I’m on series x and I can’t miss headshots because the dealy

[young stone]

I don't know if it's my internet or if I am just that bad XD

[sand nest]

I Usually Play At Nights. Less Latency Issues During Day

[midnight mica]

It’s 9:00 in the morning here at 300 ms somehow

[sand nest]

Have You Tried To Restart Your Modem After A Speed Test If Its High?

[worthy ginkgo]

when does the mcc update go live ?

[midnight mica]

That’s the thing it’s not my connection I’m not lagging at all everyone else is there just standing still most the time I haven’t seen anything like this before

[sand nest]

NAT Open, Moderate, Or Closed?

[wild sleet]

Mine just feels like my guns get weaker or my melee doesn't work properly

[midnight mica]

Open I’m running fibre optic no service outages connecting is fine it’s just this game

[sand nest]

Yeah At Times I Melee A Player 2 Or 3 Times From Behind But They Can Just Hit Me Once

[wild sleet]

or when lunge doesn't work

[midnight mica]

I feel bad for playing like because I can see people struggling

Eu servers btw just for info

I’m in wales

[sand nest]

Weather Can Affect Connections Lines That It Have To Chain Out To Others

[wild sleet]

I'm Australian, Anything 200 & higher is just no very fun

[midnight mica]

I’ve just never seen this before especially when I’m not lagging at all

[sand nest]

Try Reload Game

[midnight mica]

I will later I’m just gonna enjoy it while it lasts

[wild sleet]

Don't crash lol

[midnight mica]

Hopefully not lol

[wild sleet]

Oh yeah MCC update is tomorrow would there be a thing to read the patch notes tomorrow?

[midnight mica]

Probably also they fixed it we all good now

[winter flame]

ping spikes still happen yeah

like the ping will just go up by 10x for a while

[bronze breach]

I will master teleportation and use lag and desync to my advantage!!!!

[floral pollen]

Meanwhile I shall suffer in my 700 ping

[bronze breach]

[midnight mica]

I literally was at one point who needs teleport when 343 giveing me a hand

[fickle drift]

[floral pollen]

I've spiked to like 13,000 before, and have gone down to like 20, it goes back and forth so much

[bronze breach]

Need chatgpt to help me win btb matches

Not cheating when an AI is playing

[floral pollen]

Not technically

[winter flame]

in europe the servers mostly seem stable

like spikes are rare. the wackiest stuff i see is when i play with americans

[bronze breach]

Same

[wild sleet]

Not for me I got a delay in EU

[winter flame]

by stable i dont mean lag-free

i just mean it feels consistently playable but not great

[floral pollen]

Idk what it is about where I live, but my ping is weird, and GPS thinks that in only where I live is in Napanee, I live nowhere near there, yet everyhere around me is fine for GPS

[steel loom]

Hi

[winter flame]

i honestly think the game felt more responsive early S2 then now but i could just be remembering wrong

[jade hare]

Guys, in MCC How do i enable Anti cheat on Windows? Can't find the answer, even doing a search here on Discord.

[winter flame]

you just start the game and click play with anti cheat

[floral pollen]

Honestly, same
I feel like may game ran so much better in S2, then S3 and 4 came along, and I'm so much slower

[winter flame]

if you removed EAC you can install it from their website: https://www.easy.ac

[jade hare]

i launched the wrong game file, i think it works now

[midnight mica]

For me it was season 3 when they fixed it now with 4 it’s gotten worse somehow

[winter flame]

the persistent ping spike where the server just goes up by 10 fold seems to be happening more with S4

otherwise it feels the same for me when the ping isnt doing that

[midnight mica]

Yeah it’s like this wierd 5 seconds delay feels like I’m playing black ops 1 again lol

[mental mauve]

Anyone know what time the update comes out? LOL PST

[bronze breach]

Google is your friend

[mental mauve]

Not always

[wild sleet]

Probably 3am for me

[floral pollen]

I can hear birds singing, and I'm not tired
This is fun

Its 5 AM here

[wild sleet]

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo

[floral pollen]

Honestly tho
I can see the start of the sunrise rn

[obsidian wyvern]

thank sb

[wild sleet]

You can see the sunrise, I can see the moonrise lmao

[fickle drift]

Wait was there an infinite playlist update

[wild sleet]

Helped out a bud in Destiny 2, Root of Nightmares Raid & he got the Raid Exotic on his 2nd Character

Now I can chill on some Playstation for a bit

[steady jolt]

Mods aren't hired, we're volunteers. We don't get paid for this and aren't 343 employees

[jade hare]

I must say though that "staff" implies that you are hired. So can be confusing.

[midnight mica]

Yeah

No more scarr sadly

[fickle drift]

That’s ok

Is it btb?

[jade hare]

Just played infinite, but it has freezes every 10 seconds, still won though.

[midnight mica]

Just normal btb now the new game mode is squad battle

[wild sleet]

No more Scarr? Good I dislike that map

[fickle drift]

Awesome

[floral pollen]

Honestly, Scarr is one of the few BTB maps I kinda like the look of, even tho I like, never play BTB

[midnight mica]

It’s my favourite always good games on scarr

[wild sleet]

I don't like it on CTF, it always turns into a Slayer match & ends in a tie

[bronze breach]

I hate that map

[fickle drift]

That’s the best part

[bronze breach]

Too circular and compact not good for vehicle combat

[midnight mica]

That’s how even it is

[bronze breach]

To counter the problems

I camp at rocket and ghost

And use the teleport to escape

[fickle drift]

I forgot there was a teleporter lol

[midnight mica]

So basically you get no kills lol

Like just push them off the map the hammer is much fun

[bronze breach]

I used to get more deaths and kills on that map before I'm using the camping tactic now

Enemy followed me from the teleporter

Jokes on him, I anticipated it and aimed my rocket at him as soon as he appeared

[wild sleet]

Scarr probably makes me pull out the Commando more, almost gotten a perfection on that map if only I didn't sit still

[midnight mica]

Have you done the rockets and objectives trick with the teleport

[bronze breach]

Never heard of it lol

[midnight mica]

You just jump through when the team is on b spam two rockets easy team wipe

[wild sleet]

It's a good Flank in general

Also good for a quick getaway cause not many knows it

[midnight mica]

I personally just love keeping people off the power weapon flank people get so salty

[bronze breach]

They need to disable the gravity hammer push on teammates.

Two occasions had trolls use it to push me off the map

[midnight mica]

Wait that happens?

[bronze breach]

Suprised it isnt disabled

Unfortunately it's not disabled on teammates

[midnight mica]

Yeah same it’s a bit strange for friendly fire off

[pulsar cobalt]

That raid is so easy lmao

[wild sleet]

It is but Nezerac is fun, with the Ads spawning man I can go to town with my Throwing Hammer

[bronze breach]

Stopped playing raid after crota

[wild sleet]

VoG still my all time favorite Raid

[fickle drift]

Wow kasini bay is a good one flag map

[wild sleet]

I think it's a fun Raid & also good experince for 1st time raiders

[fickle drift]

Only issue is that middle part under the bridge from the flag base, the ghost gets stuck on the speed bump under it which should get fixed

[wild sleet]

Zanzibar remake, yeah it's definetly good

[vocal portal]

👋

[fickle drift]

That’s the only issue I have with it

Just a map issue, but other than that it’s good

[wild sleet]

Anyone got Rat's Nest yet in Infinite?

[pulsar cobalt]

So fun

Yeah I got rats nest last night

[fickle drift]

@wild sleet have your games increased in ping? Mine went from 25 now to 71

[wild sleet]

Nah I've been lucky with 12ms Servers

Sometimes

I don't want to run into Mint Blitz again lmao

[fickle drift]

Mine just shot up

[pallid dawn]

Damn have they really not done a nameplate giveaway in nearly a year?

[jade hare]

Is Mint to be considered one of the best players? Or is he like the best known YouTube player.

[bronze breach]

Shouldn't focus on giveaways...

[pallid dawn]

Not focusing, just an observation. Had a friend who wanted it

[obsidian wyvern]

they used to do it for each tournament, dk why they stopped

[bronze breach]

Likely stopped until further notice

[pallid dawn]

Wack

[obsidian wyvern]

but there was also a way to get it by streaming the game on discord

[pallid dawn]

Ran out of codes

[obsidian wyvern]

nah it was manually granted lol

[pallid dawn]

True

[obsidian wyvern]

I think it'll come back, don't know how long until it does though

[bronze breach]

Coating > nameplate 👍

[pallid dawn]

Fr

[bronze breach]

Arbiter guard should be twitch drop pls

[pallid dawn]

more twitch drops

[obsidian wyvern]

recon do you still do your Xbox app thing for playing a game with a friend on pc

[winter flame]

Yeah but rn I’m away from my Pc

[wild sleet]

Arbiter's Guard looks like a Twitch drop lmao

[winter flame]

I can play on xbox tho

[obsidian wyvern]

I was just wondering if it's worked for you lately because the last 3 days it hasn't unlocked for me

[winter flame]

It happens

Sometimes you have to seemingly play for like 6 hours for it to work

[wild sleet]

Man Halo talk making me want to jump on Halo but I'm mega chilled right now

[winter flame]

Sometimes it’s unlockable after 1 bot match lol

I think it doesn’t reset at midnight maybe idk

[obsidian wyvern]

I even hopped into Minecraft for windows where everyone is using a msft account 😩

[winter flame]

Just don’t worry too much about to, it’s like 20 pence worth of points. If you get it just see it as a nice bonus for playing a game

It will start working again

Right now I’m playing the best Spartan game AC Odyssey

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I don't care too much about missing a few days, ironically I care a lot about my daily streak set though, but that's more because I like seeing the number for my days go up

[fickle drift]

So my small review on this squad battle thing; fun maps, inconsistent scores since it’s focused on vehicle combat

[wild sleet]

I have a AC tattoo lol

[winter flame]

Do you have Xbox? If so do the monthly reward in the rewards app

[midnight mica]

Have you done your login, bing, daily challenges et etc lol

[winter flame]

Also do the quests in the game pass app if you have game pass

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[midnight mica]

The Xbox app works too

[winter flame]

3 different apps all to get points for playing Xbox games man

[obsidian wyvern]

I was 1 week away from the monthly 500 bonus and they reset lol

[round laurel]

He's good, don't get me wrong, but he mainly farms noobs in matchmaking. I think to be one of the best players, you need to face people of your own skill in competitive. I've also faced a guy with a K/D ratio of 4, so there are even better players out there than him that don't stream.

[meager grove]

hi halo is a great game

[fickle drift]

This

[winter flame]

The Xbox app is different quests from the game pass app I think? Unless they added quests to the Xbox app on Pc since uninstalled

[meager grove]

halo is a great game

[midnight mica]

And be consistent

[wild sleet]

Yeah I've killed him 3 times in a btb match mostly because I had a Upper hand

[winter flame]

Most people who play halo as their job are pretty good at it

[fickle drift]

Yeah I’d be pretty good if my enemies didn’t shoot back

[round laurel]

haha

[meager grove]

i only played for fun

[obsidian wyvern]

I will never not laugh at this

[wild sleet]

My comfort Zone in Halo is CQC

[midnight mica]

I mean if the criteria is be good I should start live-streaming lol

[winter flame]

I’ve had times I played halo religiously and I did get insanely good at winning 1v1s but you need to play so much to keep you aim at its peak

[fickle drift]

My comfort zone in halo is turning off the game lol

[midnight mica]

I just stick to snipers much more relaxed or pushing people off maps

[fickle drift]

Might just be me but no matter how much time or effort I invest I don’t think I’ll ever reach a respectable skill level

[winter flame]

My advice is other than deadzones keep your sensitivity close to default, use a controller with rear buttons, and learn some basic game sense by watching high level players solo queue

[bronze breach]

Or camp, hide and run

[midnight mica]

And a lot of it is pure luck

[winter flame]

Most halo players don’t really have any game sense

[wild sleet]

My Skill level is around Diamond but I don't play that religiously anymore, if I did I'd probably be Onyx

[fickle drift]

Most of my issues lie within aim and region

[glad tapir]

bro wdym diamond

[winter flame]

Diamond bros 🤜

[midnight mica]

You know that glass looking thing lol

[fickle drift]

My aim is bad, I’ll admit it, but also my region makes getting kills with higher ping almost impossible

[obsidian wyvern]

my aim is horrible

[wild sleet]

My skill is Diamond but my Aim is Gold lmao

[winter flame]

Diamond is where ur respectably above average but nothing crazy. Feels like a decent place to be but also feels bad being so close to the “top rank” ig

[glad tapir]

I bellieve that is very true because you are from oceania, and america and europe are very far away 💀

[glad tapir]

what game?

Valorant??

[winter flame]

Halo infinite lol

U know what discord ur in man

[glad tapir]

THEy aDded sbm??!

[fickle drift]

I’ve only hit diamond once back in S2 and never reached it again due to 200+ ping games

[midnight mica]

So just most of us here then really

[wild sleet]

I only ever Reached Onyx once it was on H5 felt like an achievement

[obsidian wyvern]

halo invented sbmm

[winter flame]

Most people here are diamond or plat I would guess

[glad tapir]

I am not.

[fickle drift]

Idk how any other oce players are hitting onyx without boosting or coordinated stacks

[floral pollen]

I'm almost a Gold IV

[glad tapir]

I do not play halo infinite.

[obsidian wyvern]

i need a stack for arena but i dont want to go to the lfg channels lol

[bronze breach]

I am beyond Diamond. I will kill you before you even spawn!

[wild sleet]

I only ever played Ranked in S1 in Infinite, stopped because Ping was so bad

[floral pollen]

Gold 3 - 740/750 rn

[midnight mica]

Like you said stacks it’s the only way to play ranked otherwise good luck

[winter flame]

If you don’t have rear buttons on ur controller that will probably push u a few ranks up so keep that in mind

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-emoji-emoji-chorando-emoji-cry-cry-gif-25060390

[fickle drift]

You can get onyx solo, it’s just more of a challenge and gamble

[glad tapir]

Was the update released?

[winter flame]

Basically everyone at diamond and above has rear buttons or uses claw

[obsidian wyvern]

what update

[fickle drift]

I use an Elite Series 2

[obsidian wyvern]

got to diamond 4 on 30 fps 💪
without claw or backbuttons

[midnight mica]

I have piano fingers genetic diff

[glad tapir]

or play on pc?

[wild sleet]

Yeah I got a PowerA Controller with 2 Paddles

[winter flame]

U are just a unique specimen playing on xcloud and placing higher then me 😭

[winter flame]

I don’t think PC matters a ton below onyx

[obsidian wyvern]

it was on my xbox 1 lol

[midnight mica]

We should team lol show those sweats what’s up

[wild sleet]

Might give my controller a clean got some of that sweat grime lmao

[glad tapir]

Hmmm? Mouse and keyboard is so much easier.

[obsidian wyvern]

xcloud is 60fps which is why i switched

[glad tapir]

I know because I played on xbox before.

[wild sleet]

I'd run 120FPS on Xbox if I had a gaming Monitor

[obsidian wyvern]

i wanna try kbm with the bandit, seems so much easier

[winter flame]

As long as ur playing at 60fps the difference above that is not as drastic as people make out. It definitely feels better to play at higher fps but it’s not gonna take a plat player to onyx or something like that

[glad tapir]

Xbox 360 🥵🥵🥵🥵 and Xbox one s 😞

[winter flame]

30 to 60 is much more significant

[floral pollen]

Ehhhhh
Its not super easy

[midnight mica]

100% I’m just on a tv and series x and have no trouble at all

[glad tapir]

True also 60 to 120-144 is a big difference too, above 144 fps there is not a lot of difference.

[winter flame]

I hit onyx at 60fps on One X in S2 just by playing the game religiously

[glad tapir]

Or to 100 fps.

I know because I was getting 30 fps and had a 60 hz monitor.

[midnight mica]

Most the time it is just luck

[glad tapir]

In games that are new.

[winter flame]

I would say 90fps is where things feel smooth and above that is when you are just minimising latency by turning off vsync and such

[glad tapir]

true.

[obsidian wyvern]

some people have more time on halo infinite than i have on fps games (on controller) in general so im not too worried about my aim at this stage

[glad tapir]

I do not turn vsync off because I cannot even see more than 144 fps.

[obsidian wyvern]

🤨

[glad tapir]

uhhhh

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[winter flame]

I just use VRR with a frame rate cap at 90 because I hit CPU bottleneck at 100

[fickle drift]

The most annoying thing people say is “don’t worry if you’re good or not, just have fun”

[glad tapir]

Do not ask.

[fickle drift]

I’m not having fun if I’m getting stomped on

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah it doesnt work that way for me

[glad tapir]

Do not ask why.

[midnight mica]

Well yeah if your getting mad at a game it’s time to go outside

[winter flame]

For MCC you pretty much have to get good to enjoy playing that game for any significant amount of time

[obsidian wyvern]

no questions asked

[fickle drift]

In order for me to enjoy the game I need to be good at it

[glad tapir]

Good.

[warped elbow]

k

[fickle drift]

I usually shrug it off but there’s times where I just turn it off and go watch some tv shows lol

[winter flame]

He’s trying to beat Lone Wolf

[glad tapir]

Idk it broke it says I played it for 14 hours lmao.

[obsidian wyvern]

i only ever get mad when teammates with no game sense talk smack

[midnight mica]

Yeah like I’ll get bad rng shout and then go “time to feed the birds I think” lol

[glad tapir]

Probably because the game crashed.

[obsidian wyvern]

like why are you talking when you dont know how to play the game

[glad tapir]

hmm?

[obsidian wyvern]

i was continuing with this

[glad tapir]

hmm

[winter flame]

It’s cope because they think they’re good and only losing because of bad team mates

[glad tapir]

ok

[glad tapir]

either that or ping or insane enemies.

[midnight mica]

Come on we can all agree we get bad teammates right

[winter flame]

It’s not a reason to talk smack to ur team mates

[glad tapir]

Yes I am that lazy, that I did not use grammar there.

[obsidian wyvern]

like yesterday they were fine, they were mostly going positive, but they did not know how to play oddball

[midnight mica]

O right you mean that true

[glad tapir]

True, it only makes them play worse.

[midnight mica]

I’ve gotten better at typing my messages but then not sending them

[glad tapir]

REAL

[obsidian wyvern]

there was 2 seconds left on the ball for the enemy team so i prioritised killing the carrier over some dude who was 1 shot in an attempt to save the game but noooooooo im in the wrong for trying to win and not go for kills

[stiff fern]

You should be able to talk smack about bad teamates cause it’s probably some little kid who doesn’t even have a headset and can’t hear you and will never meet you again

[glad tapir]

Guys I will play Halo The Master Chief Collection for 24 hours straight.

[winter flame]

Only time it’s fair to judge ur team mate is when they’re playing slayer in a playlist with objective modes. There’s literally a slayer playlist

Or if they’re just camping and you’re getting decimated in 2v1s

[stiff fern]

Fair but if you don’t tell your teamates they’re bad how will they know they are so terribly horrible at the game

[glad tapir]

The game crashed while I was playing, and It says I played it now for like 14 hours.

[obsidian wyvern]

you can say it constructively ofc

[stiff fern]

I was joking

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

[winter flame]

Just tell them to buy a better gaming chair 😄

[stiff fern]

Still I think there should be criticism everywhere. At least a little. Otherwise you won’t know what you need to improve on.

[obsidian wyvern]

how do i improve my aim 😔

[glad tapir]

You need to train your aim.

[obsidian wyvern]

wow thanks

[stiff fern]

Like my friend is really bad at hitting head shots and can’t do it for nothing so I told him to play tactical slayer cause he’s so bad. He complained hella but eventually did.

[glad tapir]

I did for like 2 weeks no major difference.

In cs:go.

[stiff fern]

You’re not training right

[winter flame]

Sometimes I will say if my team mates are too passive and I honestly think we could have won if they just focused on dealing damage

[glad tapir]

Not rn

[winter flame]

A lot of people don’t understand halo is about dealing damage as a team

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont think tac slayer really helps for headshots as much as people say

[stiff fern]

If you train a lot and don’t see any difference then you aren’t implementing it correctly or training correctly

[glad tapir]

True.

[glad tapir]

Well I have seen some difference, but it was not a lot.

[fickle drift]

In order to see improvements you need to know what you’re doing wrong

[obsidian wyvern]

like i can play that mode, with brs, perfectly fine. it doesnt really help unless the dude is 1 shot in ranked

[winter flame]

Tac slayer is useless because hitting immediate headshots is easy, it’s hitting your last shot on a strafing target that’s hard

[obsidian wyvern]

exactly

[glad tapir]

I could finally spray accurately, and hit the target from about 40 meters away but it took some time.

[stiff fern]

Imo it does. It teaches you how to hit head shots before the enemy does and in point based gamemodes like king of the hill, if the enemies have no shields and neither do you, it’ll cost you the game if you don’t know how to blow their brains out faster than them.

[obsidian wyvern]

thats just seeing your enemy first

[stiff fern]

Exactly

That’s why i think criticism is needed

[fickle drift]

That’s not something that comes easy

[stiff fern]

Ofc

But it still does

As long as you work for it

[glad tapir]

I did spray transfers, 180's, spray control, and everything combined together, then deathmatch for 2 hours straight.

[obsidian wyvern]

id say the only weapon thats actually sometimes a struggle to hit headshots with is the commando

not in tac slayer, just in firefights in general

[glad tapir]

never seen that gun.

[stiff fern]

That’s how I felt for a long time. It’s bc youre scared to try and hit them. At least for me it was. I would always clench my controller and lose focus when I used the commando but now I’d much rather have it than an ar.

[obsidian wyvern]

commando

[obsidian wyvern]

id generally pick an ar in arena over a commando

the range on the weapon is still whack

[stiff fern]

Yeah that’s what I’d do

Not anymore bc I decided to practice in custom games and now I’m much better with it

[glad tapir]

Isn't this gun insanely accurate though?

[stiff fern]

Same with the sniper

[glad tapir]

Since it is a rifle, or a dmr?

[stiff fern]

It is, it really is ppl underestimate how accurate it is. Even at full bloom you’re more likely to hit a head shot than a pistol at full bloom.

[small quest]

Sadge, thanks for the info tho

[stiff fern]

At least in my experiences

[glad tapir]

Wait it is automatic???!

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[stiff fern]

Yeah

But most people don’t use it like that

[glad tapir]

wow, looked like a semi automic rifle for me.

[stiff fern]

Cause of bloom

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah full auto isnt the way to go with it most of the time

[glad tapir]

turm bloom off then.

[stiff fern]

Every gun is automatic in infinite 💀

[glad tapir]

no.

[obsidian wyvern]

pretty much lol

[stiff fern]

Bro what?

[glad tapir]

pistols?

[stiff fern]

It was a joke chill

[glad tapir]

ok.

[stiff fern]

I really like the commando

[obsidian wyvern]

not the sidekick, but you can just hold down the trigger for the disruptor and mangler

[stiff fern]

It looks so good

[obsidian wyvern]

even the damn shotgun is automatic

[glad tapir]

what is bloom though?

[fickle drift]

Yeah it’s automatic but some people just tap fire instead lol

Anyone any advice for how to improve? Or things to concentrate on improving? Im plat 3 solo queue and feel stuck 🤣

[fickle drift]

Don’t die

[stiff fern]

It’s weird how the disrupter was always automatic and it was this huge revelation for everyone once they found out

[obsidian wyvern]

a good 4 stack ngl

[glad tapir]

Isn't this in settings though?

[stiff fern]

Play slow

After plat 2 play slow

[fickle drift]

I would love to tbh but I don’t know a good way to find players, my friends don’t like halo

More like play your lives

[obsidian wyvern]

#lfg-competitive

are you in europe?

[fickle drift]

Yeah I feel I play too fast tbh, I find it hard not to tbh haha

[fickle drift]

Yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

im at the end of plat 3 too, id be down to play sometime

[stiff fern]

Same but all the onyx players mostly play slow or insanely fast. Id say start with slow cause it’s easier than learning how to play insanely fast and accurate.

[glad tapir]

Isn't this the same as spread though?

[obsidian wyvern]

spread is different

[stiff fern]

Being fast is easy but being fast and accurate is hard

[glad tapir]

ok.

[stiff fern]

What?

[fickle drift]

So stupid question but when you say play slow, how do you mean?
Just like not sprinting everywhere and taking every fight?

[stiff fern]

I hope they add bot boot camp back so all the bad teamates have a place to practice rather than dragging a ranked match

[obsidian wyvern]

bot bootcamp isnt helping anyone get better for ranked

theyre not even spartan level bots

[nocturne dagger]

Hey does anyone know a person who goes by chickenboom9

[stiff fern]

Not taking all fights. I mean avoiding fights and staying off your enemies radar. At least if you are trying not to die a lot.

[stiff fern]

@dusky fulcrum he’s on this server

Sorry for the @

[nocturne dagger]

Well he’s so childish he blocked me before I could say my last words lol

[stiff fern]

Which were?

[obsidian wyvern]

clan wars is the only answer

[nocturne dagger]

He always runs scared

[stiff fern]

What was the conversation?

[stiff fern]

Clan wars are childish imo

[obsidian wyvern]

i know

[nocturne dagger]

Sent you a screenshot

[stiff fern]

Fun but once it turns into a fight it’s immature and annoying

As in verbal fight not in the game

[obsidian wyvern]

they both seemed like they had some clan thing in their bios

[stiff fern]

I see

[wild sleet]

Clans are normal if it's just for a group for halo but all that other stuff is just gross

[nocturne dagger]

Honestly if he’s to scared to talk to me but wants to try and insult me then meh it’s funny

[stiff fern]

Bit odd conversation

Why’d he say fake?

[round laurel]

You guys should hug it out in private.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[nocturne dagger]

It’s a long complicated situation

[stiff fern]

Some people just walk away from stuff

Pointless stuf that could go on for ages

And that’s fine. Even if he was right he doesn’t have to continue the argument

Just let people be people and if he doesn’t want to argue with you cause he knows he’s wrong then so be it.

[nocturne dagger]

At one point, I tried training him to be some sort of leader, and he wasn’t of age to be at that level of clan bs so he ended up getting a lot of backlash as well as me

[stiff fern]

I remember a long long time ago not being the right age for a clan led by a 11 yo and I just pretended to not have a mic 💀

[bronze breach]

I hate clans. I make it my mission to punish them an ruin their clips

[stiff fern]

Lol I did that once

[nocturne dagger]

😂😂

Honestly I’ve been doing this clan stuff for way too long

[round laurel]

They seem to barely exist anymore. I rarely see folk with the same service tags or gamertags these days.

[nocturne dagger]

11 or 12 ish years

[stiff fern]

Me and some friends spent hours trying to overrun a clan base. It was one of those bases clans use to just kill ransoms for fun. But we actually got inside and killed them all.

[fickle drift]

Sounds good! Thanks for all the help
Have you any advice on Howe I can learn maps and spawns for enemies and weapons?

[wild sleet]

My LFG is full of Clan Recruitment

[bronze breach]

Join my camping clan but you must have hero rank

You must also relinquish any heavy weapons, sniper, tanks and air vehicles as and when requested by me

I am serious...

[nocturne dagger]

At least since 360 reach

[stiff fern]

Spawns are something I have no idea about. It confuses me too. Some spawns are just scuffed. But the best way to learn maps is either playing them in customs or playing the monthly ranked rather than ranked arena to learn the weapon spawns on the ranked version of the maps.

At least that’s what I do

[nocturne dagger]

@dusky fulcrum unblocked me lol

[wild sleet]

Someone say KFC?

[stiff fern]

Lol. Those requirements were always so dumb cause the leader always had a -2.7 kd or smthn

[nocturne dagger]

😂😂

[winter flame]

ONYX LIEUTENANT CAREER RANK ACHIEVED IN HALO INFINITE 🔥

BACK ON THE GRIND AFTER I QUICKLY SLEEP... SEE YOU SOON! 😴🛏️

Twitter · Jul 12, 2023, 7:16 AM

[fickle drift]

Nice! What is the monthly ranked? Sorry I’m really new to this 🤣

[nocturne dagger]

Keep from cooking

[stiff fern]

No life

[bronze breach]

👍

[wild sleet]

Someone tell him to slow down so I can catch up lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

more than halfway through onyx on a name basis

[bronze breach]

What about you rev? You in too?

[stiff fern]

It would take the avg player over 60 days to achieve hero. It hasn’t even been half that since season 4 dropped.

[nocturne dagger]

This ranking stuff is weak sauce

[obsidian wyvern]

im part of the deadweights clan i made with attorney like a year ago

[round laurel]

Why?

[bronze breach]

[obsidian wyvern]

anchoring all your games 💪

[nocturne dagger]

Getting inheritor in 360’s reach was a lot harder

[stiff fern]

Fr I see players with over 2,000 no games at bronze sergeant or smthn

[winter flame]

they could just add more ranks tbf

[round laurel]

This man must be running on fumes at this point. "Quickly sleep"

[bronze breach]

I will surpass him

[stiff fern]

That was only obtainable if you lived in your parents basement. I never liked it. Very scuffed

[nocturne dagger]

As well as maxing out all of the accommodations

[obsidian wyvern]

i can see why hes doing it, but surely he can take a break for like 2 days and still hit it before anyone that didnt use bot bootcamp

[stiff fern]

Yea now that I think about it this is kinda better 🤷‍♂️

[pallid dawn]

Are there rank rewards other than emblems/nameplates?

[winter flame]

people are forgetting this is a live service game, more ranks could easily be added each season. they just give you whatever XP progression you earned past Hero

[stiff fern]

Armor coating for onyx

[pallid dawn]

That's it?

[stiff fern]

I dont know

I’m not onyx

[pallid dawn]

Ditto

[stiff fern]

I dropped so bad cause I played with my bronze friend

[obsidian wyvern]

its not obtainable yet

[stiff fern]

And I mean bad

I’m silver 6 bc of that

[bronze breach]

Your fault for playing with a bronze

[round laurel]

I don't think he could. There is someone ahead of him.

I think he really wants to hit it first for his stream.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah the dude who played bot bootcamp, but everyone said he doesnt count lol

[pallid dawn]

Not obtainable? That's a problem if the people who are onyx don't get it down the line. Locked themselves out of it

[round laurel]

Oh I wasn't aware lol.

[stiff fern]

Lol yeah I thought it would play out well cause the matches before he was getting like 20 kills somehow

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean fair play for finding the glitch and dedicating to it, but i see why no one counts it

[winter flame]

Anyone got a better name for "career onyx" in contrast with "CSR onyx"

[pallid dawn]

Onyx rank, onyx career

[stiff fern]

Is mint blitz the goat?

[bronze breach]

No Act Man is

[winter flame]

how about sweat onyx vs grind onyx lol

[stiff fern]

Yeah he’s great but I’m talking about skill

[bronze breach]

I am the best player in the known multiverse.
