general-chat

[normal owl]

This might be the best thing I've read today.

[obsidian wyvern]

i realised i still dk what game to start lmao

[normal owl]

Haha, so the Intimidate option for you in dialogue.

[winter flame]

i love this guy who hasnt talked in the chat but keeps reacting to messages

[fickle drift]

If you just finished Ep 1 then do Ep 2 Rev

[obsidian wyvern]

i havent started ep 1

[ornate hatch]

lmao, yes

[obsidian wyvern]

i finished the base game about a month ago, waited till the steam sale to pick up the rest

[ornate hatch]

my dad has collected so much ammo that i told him to just nuke the hell out of diamond city

and he did

[midnight mica]

Same lol he’s kinda funny

[normal owl]

like the people who just comment "beautiful" on posts lol

[ornate hatch]

yeah lol

[amber mirage]

beautiful

[winter flame]

lets be nice maybe he's trying to find the courage to talk to us but isn't quite there yet 😄

[ornate hatch]

like a missile would post "just hit an enemy building, feeling pretty good"
and somebody would just reply "beautiful"

[midnight mica]

So lush

[normal owl]

haha yes

[midnight mica]

I hate I can’t use lush anymore damm white people 🥸

[hasty zinc]

beautiful

oh rok did it too lmao

[normal owl]

You both are beautiful.

[hasty zinc]

[oak geyser]

Didact senpai

[midnight mica]

That’s kinda gay love it

[normal owl]

I can only hear "beautiful" in Paul Hollywood's voice: been grinding Celebrity Bake Off lately.

[oak geyser]

When the Halo 3 multiplayer map book dropping ?

[hasty zinc]

2007

[midnight mica]

Now you got me hear Noel edmans voice

[oak geyser]

I meant Epitaph

[hasty zinc]

January 2024

[ornate hatch]

the arbiter and master chief are secretly dating, because master chief has a pic of him in his helmet

[midnight mica]

I actually have that somewhere

[normal owl]

"get set"..."baaaake"

[midnight mica]

Btw baking under pressure so much more difficult

[oak geyser]

Now stalk Unyshek and Pierre Hintze to make it happen

[normal owl]

Oh I bet, it always takes so much time. Can't imagine those time constraints on the show.

[ornate hatch]

i have like 4 of the original halo books and i bought them for 5 dollars each

[ornate hatch]

i assume those are the voice actors or smth?

[midnight mica]

An hour is all you get in a catering exam 2 hours if it’s a 4 course meal that’s why dropped it way too stressful

[hasty zinc]

community manager and studio head

[ornate hatch]

ah

i dont feel like stalking anybody rn

[oak geyser]

The guy whose team saved MCC

And the community manager, yeah.

[hybrid blaze]

the UA/M560 PLATE has an interesting description

[midnight mica]

Ok seriously how do you guys remember all the armour names I can just about remember how old I am

[normal owl]

Holy cow that does sound stressful. Don't blame you at all for dropping it: where's the joy in food at that point?

[hybrid blaze]

my secret is that I have the game open and can type without looking 🙂

[midnight mica]

Literally do not recommend it and yes I’m the uk the chef will shout at you

[wild sleet]

You know Scarr CTF kinda not the best but good for Kills though

[midnight mica]

That makes sense but some of y’all will like remember the name of like the toe bit and all it’s lore lol

[hearty flame]

Does anyone else's screen have a little shake to it when you sprint?

[normal owl]

I wonder if The Menu is cathartic for folks in that industry who hate their chef.

[jade hare]

Here's fun fact: The Halos' numbering system isn't sequential. For instance, the first Halo discovered by humanity in "Halo: Combat Evolved" is Halo Installation 04. In "Halo 2," the ring destroyed is Installation 05. The sequence doesn't refer to the order in which the rings were built or discovered, but seems to be a designation given by the Forerunners themselves.

[hybrid blaze]

isn't there an option to turn that off?

[hearty flame]

nvm fixed it

[oak geyser]

A ritual to be performed as soon as you finish the level “The Covenant” allows your eidetic memory to be expanded by about 60%. As a result of this eidetic memory expansion, a neurophysical circuit is implanted by the remaining spirit of the Precursors, that allows you to memorize the names of hundreds of armor pieces worn by their chosen.

[midnight mica]

Definitely and if the menu goes wrong it’s your fault

[hearty flame]

Yeah lol I thought I did that already

[smoky iris]

Did yall see that the yori stuff is coming back

[normal owl]

Correct: they were numbered by the Forerunners to rank them as vacation destinations.

[hybrid blaze]

yeah, I thought it was coming back this shop rotation, but apparently not

[smoky iris]

Yeah

[winter flame]

yeah im meaning to report this bug. every time i restart the game there's a little screensake and i have to adjust the slider from 0 and back

makes me wonder how many settings arent persistenting properly

[hearty flame]

I will say that playing Valhalla in Squads was so fun

[winter flame]

the settings menu really needs to read what your current settings are and not obscure settings that dont persist

[hybrid blaze]

is there a channel where people can rate my drip?

[midnight mica]

I want more salvage armour #yapyap

[hasty zinc]

yeah I played 2 squad battles yesterday, got Valhalla and Last Restort, hoping if I play another I'll get Rats Nest because I want to see it

[midnight mica]

#1076327824924872755

[dreamy stirrup]

#1076327824924872755 !

[midnight mica]

Damm look at us on point lol

[obsidian wyvern]

wasnt me sliding off the map for once

[midnight mica]

How the hell do you slide off the map

[pulsar cobalt]

Shame talon has no attachments

[ornate hatch]

The fact that the halo announcer has actually said "social credit, deducted" makes me laugh

[midnight mica]

That made me giggle lol

[pulsar cobalt]

uhm

[ornate hatch]

What

[obsidian wyvern]

ive done it a lot

[midnight mica]

We need these modded in

[ornate hatch]

Lmao yes

[oak geyser]

Female elites

[ornate hatch]

yes

[hasty zinc]

let's keep it appropriate

[pulsar cobalt]

I bet everyone has done this haha

[ornate hatch]

I didn't even mean for it to go this way lol

[obsidian wyvern]

aegis do you ever forget youre a mod

[hybrid blaze]

anyone else love rakshasa?

[pulsar cobalt]

Yes

[hasty zinc]

what do you mean

[pulsar cobalt]

i just hope more of its concept art comes to life

[midnight mica]

Mohawk baby

[obsidian wyvern]

just like in general, do you forget sometimes you have the ability to delete messages and such

[hybrid blaze]

I unfortunately missed the mohawk, I didn't play much season 2

and it's now vaulted

[hasty zinc]

occasionally

[midnight mica]

It complements my banished Spartan look me and Iratus gonna be getting out the academy with this one

[bronze breach]

@obsidian wyvern since I disabled embeds, I can see mb size of your uploads

[fickle drift]

I played with Panda for a few hours last night and we got Val multiple times in a row, Last Resort once, never got a single rats nest match. 😑

[obsidian wyvern]

the software aegis gave me makes each video a lot larger

[viral dune]

Hi

[bronze breach]

57.01mb and 40.76mb. If I clicked it.. I'm a goner

[hasty zinc]

click it

I dare you

[obsidian wyvern]

also let us use several effects like this

and the lighting changed for the gauntlets but i couldnt be bothered to go back and get screenshots

[bronze breach]

No unless it magically gives me free infinite credits

[pulsar cobalt]

2 effects at once looks real good

[bronze breach]

👍

[obsidian wyvern]

or for the pauldrons, i cant tell

[obsidian wyvern]

3 actually

[hasty zinc]

you'll never know until you click it

[midnight mica]

Exactly the trap master and the other green woul go so well together too

[obsidian wyvern]

the one for your helmet right

[midnight mica]

Yeah

Helmet and wrist

[pulsar cobalt]

I wonder if they gonna allow this at some point

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah ive always wanted them together

maybe one day 343 will let us change the colour of the effects too

[midnight mica]

And let me put charms on my helmet

[floral pollen]

Packmaster's Glare

[midnight mica]

Yeah that’s the one

[pulsar cobalt]

Decals would be another good thing tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

also rats nest is the best of the 3

once people actually get into your hog, it becomes fun driving around

[bronze breach]

[sage hare]

I've not been on yet, have they added a bunch of halo 3 maps?

[obsidian wyvern]

3 halo 3 maps

[bronze breach]

What game

[obsidian wyvern]

infinite

[sage hare]

Rats and 2 others?

[obsidian wyvern]

rats nest, valhalla and last resort (zanzibar)

[bronze breach]

In matchmaking?

[hasty zinc]

yes, squad battles playlist

[midnight mica]

Is it time to download the 1tb halo mcc for series x again

[obsidian wyvern]

its an 8v8, so the classic btb size too

[sage hare]

Thats a great update for what was meant to be a dead week between events!

[bronze breach]

Tempted to play but rev, reacon and zug will hunt me down

Esp they know when I play

[hasty zinc]

the cadence of updates, events, playlists is looking good right now

[midnight mica]

I’m sure nobody here would ever hunt you down and push you off the map

[obsidian wyvern]

im playing other games for a while

unless im on ranked

[bronze breach]

Me when someone gets the hog...

https://i.imgur.com/r2OZSqH.png

[midnight mica]

I think that was me he said that to I lagged out and fell

[pulsar cobalt]

Just wish we got more store items quicker tbh

[bronze breach]

That's me... I said that

[dreamy stirrup]

you complain about data all the time and now you're posting images?

[obsidian wyvern]

well here we go

[pulsar cobalt]

Once you complete it you will be wanting portal 3

and you know valve does not like counting to 3

[obsidian wyvern]

ive heard this gets a proper ending

[bronze breach]

Previously linked and copied to clipboard. Not reuploaded 👍

So no data wasted!

[pulsar cobalt]

All i want from valve is left 4 dead 3 and portal 3

[hasty zinc]

help

[pulsar cobalt]

Stab it quickly

[sage hare]

I don't think that guy needs my help.

[hearty flame]

Well here we are again*

It's always such a pleasure.

[obsidian wyvern]

lmao i love this

[midnight mica]

Hay we got half life 2 . 5 ok

[pulsar cobalt]

Pulse carbine is becoming one of my favourite weapons

[willow hamlet]

Peak gaming

[bronze breach]

Sam, do I submit a ticket for diminisher of hope trolls. Died by teammates twice using it to push me off the cliff

That push effect shouldn't be enabled on teammates

[thick socket]

[pulsar cobalt]

Camping and using shock rifle with teleport

[midnight mica]

It’s because they got nerf ist it

[jade hare]

I want to know who decided to update MCC. I wish him/her the best possible life.

[bronze breach]

No, enemy insta targets me when I use it now. So I ditched it lol

[carmine fractal]

No they? Its 2023

[jade hare]

No pronouns

[limpid nova]

[midnight mica]

Collection of atoms

[thick socket]

morbillion lightyears

[fickle drift]

wort

[hybrid blaze]

can I get plastic surgery to sound like voiceprint 10D3?

[bronze breach]

[fleet bluff]

y'all.. this new squad playlist is goat'd

[midnight mica]

Also can we please get a welsh voice I want the enemy to feel confused when I fight them

[fleet bluff]

they need to keep this playlist permanently

[carmine fractal]

Cmon wheres the halo infinite chat gpt 4 update?

[thick socket]

one thing ive yet to do in mcc is play workshop multiplayer maps

ive been playing custom solo stuff but i havent tried any of the mp stuff

[jade hare]

Love the Zanzibar map

[hybrid blaze]

I'll also take an uwu voice for my cat ears

[carmine fractal]

For sure

[ancient pond]

they'll add spartan tails soon enough

[carmine fractal]

And high thighs lmao

[jade hare]

I actually like to visit Zanzibar someday.

[pulsar cobalt]

I get carried away in rats nest and just drive around lmao

[midnight mica]

If I hear that in my left ear your going off the map

[ancient pond]

"they're not tails they're ONI balancing devices"

[hybrid blaze]

wait rats nest isn't a racing sim map?

[floral pollen]

[carmine fractal]

Used for the most covert operations

[thick socket]

i still couldve sworn i saw a cat tail on a bot in infinite before

[ancient pond]

oh no

maybe it was the back end of a grav hammer

[thick socket]

like a really long time ago, but maybe i imaged it

[thick socket]

yeah could be

[hybrid blaze]

I still can't get over the team doubles banner text

[ancient pond]

hope they bring bot bootcamp back soon, probably the easiest way to get the "watt say you" achievement

[fleet bluff]

yeah it's so awesome. And vlalhalla.. i sit back with sniper and snipe the poor fools who mancannon lmao

[ancient pond]

one of the three left i need to 100% ;-;

[winter flame]

there's a better way to play on that map? xd

instantly get blown up by rockets
lets do that again 😄

[jade hare]

come to think of it, wil MCC be updated on Windows too? or just Steam

[thick socket]

this is kinda making me feel like playing some mp again, i havent done so in a really long time

[hasty zinc]

windows store version too

[hybrid blaze]

do you have the mark and enemy in top mid achievement? I can't seem to get that one to save my life

[winter flame]

there's lots of updates to the base game, not just steam workshop

and probably bug fixes

[bronze breach]

Who is snickerdoodle. Never heard of that CM before

[hybrid blaze]

really? they're like THE waypoint forum mod

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[midnight mica]

It’s doodlebobs sister

[carmine fractal]

We need the crypto update in mcc invest in John halo coin

[bronze breach]

Who lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

snickerdoodle is Sam

[pulsar cobalt]

That's sam i'm pretty sure

[bronze breach]

Oh.

Then I live in a cave for sure. I didnt know that all this time

[hybrid blaze]

are you noble 6?

[carmine fractal]

Heresy

[bronze breach]

No. I am your next door neighbour

[ancient pond]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO I GOT STRAIGHT TO THE BANKKK

[midnight mica]

How do you not know snickerdoodle and doodlebob there THE duo

[obsidian wyvern]

nice blank

[bronze breach]

Never used the halo forums tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

god help you 🙏

[hybrid blaze]

I miss the waypoint forums

bring them back 343

[midnight mica]

Wait do you really not know doodlebob

[carmine fractal]

Never knew why they were discontinued honestly

[hasty zinc]

https://giphy.com/gifs/spongebob-doodlebob-spongebon-squarepants-dS5SlEcrO3Abu

[hybrid blaze]

while I'm making demands, 343 make the aureate midnight coating for more guns

[carmine fractal]

Anyone remember the horrors of the halo channel?

Like the app

[hybrid blaze]

I try to forget

[carmine fractal]

Want to watch a terminal? Bam install this app mf

Basically what used to happen lol

[midnight mica]

Ist it still like that but waypoint

[hybrid blaze]

it probably would have worked better today but download speeds were a lot slower back then

[hasty zinc]

cool menu

it's neat but I dont know if it's $13 for one character neat

[ancient pond]

nice to see chief and arbiter back togeather after all this time, even if it isn't canon

mhm

is it 13 for one or both

[hasty zinc]

one

[ancient pond]

dang, bc thats almost worse than hazop armor for 20 dollars

who would u pick O_O

[hasty zinc]

Chief

[pulsar cobalt]

Aegis would pick arbiter he loves elites

[carmine fractal]

I personally would pick the cam girl on twitch armor core

[ancient pond]

love arbiter hes still my favorite character besides keyes

[bronze breach]

Well game dev is expensive. 343 at the end of the day is a business and a business needs to make money/profit

[ancient pond]

^

[midnight mica]

I’m more a infected pod kinda fan personally there so hot

[bronze breach]

Also, price is also probably in line with inflation as well

[ancient pond]

um

[ancient pond]

yeah that and game development is hard

[hasty zinc]

I just don't play brawlhalla so for me it would be a waste

[carmine fractal]

My army of measles and cockroaches shall inform me on inflation

[bronze breach]

Everything in the world is going up, except our wages lol

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm so hoping 343 keeps this battle sqaud mode and keep adding classic btb maps to it

[midnight mica]

Inflation? What’s balloons got todo with it

[ancient pond]

hohohohohoooooo

[bronze breach]

Your not Frieza blank

[ancient pond]

sounds like a line from the old dudes in the mummets

[bronze breach]

Or are you?

[ancient pond]

*muppets

[midnight mica]

I just love dumb humour

[ancient pond]

same here honestly

[midnight mica]

No I’m Brenda Frazier from the mummy

[ancient pond]

if i was a dragonball character i would be krillin

[carmine fractal]

The Chinese balloon dlc is gonna be a banger

[ancient pond]

new map on a border just pop balloons

[bronze breach]

Not angelic Goku or God of Destruction Vegeta?

[ancient pond]

okay now i wanna make balloon fight from mariokart in forge

[bronze breach]

Either way Beast Gohan will surpass both

[carmine fractal]

Yeah who wants balloons? Balloons are the root cause of society's downfall

[ancient pond]

i can probably do that, with the plasma coils, put em on the back of warthogs, and boom, mariokart

[bronze breach]

If someone throws a coil at you, grapple it and throw it back at the person

[hasty zinc]

dont' even need to grapple

just catch it

[midnight mica]

Repulsion is my friend

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah just hold x as it comes your way

[bronze breach]

Cant catch

[hasty zinc]

skill issue

[carmine fractal]

Alternatively desync issue

[midnight mica]

Nah it’s just funnier watching someone go “o damm he counters it” and start running

[bronze breach]

Me at sports:

I got it, I got it...

5 seconds later, I dont got it

[faint mantle]

Physics makes me believe you can't catch a Fusion coil without it detonating anyways due to the force it'd take to make its velocity 0

[ancient pond]

best equipment

[bronze breach]

Mp defies psyhics

[ancient pond]

ok nvm then

[midnight mica]

Enemy has a tank? Shoot it back at em

[ancient pond]

enemy has a skewer? just catch it and lob it back

[bronze breach]

You cant repulsor a tank shot can you?

[midnight mica]

The wraith you can the scorpion is too fast to time it

[wide sable]

What time does the update drop?

[jade hare]

no time was giving

[ancient pond]

no

[carmine fractal]

Apparently sometime tm

[bronze breach]

Anyone used the scorpion gun on btb heavies?

[ancient pond]

theres defying physics and then theres defying logic

[ancient pond]

what.

[bronze breach]

Well it's called scorpion tail in btb heavies

[wide sable]

Why

[wide sable]

Ok

[ancient pond]

you on about the secret gun from the campaign, the handhelp scorpion cannon?

[jade hare]

most likely tomorrow for us EU people

[wide sable]

I’m in the US

[bronze breach]

Think it works the same, one shot enemies. It shoots like a tank

[ancient pond]

dang

[hasty zinc]

yes

and wraith

[carmine fractal]

I wonder how the super ultra ultimate elite gaming gfuel snorting masterful athlete gaming gamers esports scene is for halo infinite

Haven't checked on it in a while

[vapid siren]

i mean they just had a major lan

[carmine fractal]

I should probably take a look

[midnight mica]

You can repulsion most projectiles as long as there a physical entity

[carmine fractal]

Shame master chief didn't have a repulsor for the grave mind in halo 2

[bronze breach]

Is the gravemind still alive on delta halo?

[vapid siren]

hed be on the ark

[midnight mica]

Proto-gravemind

[carmine fractal]

No idea its basically a big sack of chicken nuggets and likely blown up

[bronze breach]

Oh

Wonder if delta halo monitor managed to escape

[hasty zinc]

PT up to no good

[carmine fractal]

I wonder when we will get zombie miranda keys

Obviously the most important thing

[midnight mica]

He did sadly all the characters we want dead are alive

[bronze breach]

[forest fractal]

is halo 3 multiplayer just pvp? or also co op

[obsidian wyvern]

there's pve

[carmine fractal]

Pretty sure it's ultimate elite pvp

[midnight mica]

Also co-op

[pure seal]

coop

local and online

[carmine fractal]

Well mp side matchmaking wise pvp anyways

[midnight mica]

This tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

there's a mission side to the game, which can be played with 3 other friends

then PvP

[forest fractal]

ok

[midnight mica]

There’s also a family of…. MONKEY!

[jade hare]

Dead chat

[midnight mica]

Just like the g… I mean Cod right guys, right?

[magic prism]

Finally the pride flag is gone, I’m back

[bronze breach]

Problem if there is pride flag?

[jade hare]

Time for Pride year

I will make you Pride

[safe dawn]

No.

[magic prism]

You ain’t pushing nothing on me you creature

[bronze breach]

Play nice now

[safe dawn]

Ye dial it down a bit

[jade hare]

You know, we need a Pride flag in Halo for CTF

[midnight mica]

See it’s when you think it’s a conspiracy it’s wierd

[safe dawn]

Ik this is a joke but cut it tf out

It gets annoying quick

[bronze breach]

Pride is a good thing, whether or not you like it. 343 supports it and should respect it if they do change server icon to it or do anything to support it

[carmine fractal]

Please if we involve pride the whole rp clan community will make fun and pretend to care

[bronze breach]

Oh man, its raining heavily and I didnt bring my coat

[ornate hatch]

Dawg it's not hurting you

[bronze breach]

Luckily I'm still on the train

[carmine fractal]

But yes it's good to be respectful to others no matter the race or preference

[magic prism]

Nah I’m tired of seeing rainbows everywhere I used to like them when I was kid now I hate them

[ornate hatch]

Ok?

[midnight mica]

You know what best I just say nothing

[ornate hatch]

Yeah

[bronze breach]

Just have to accept it really, nothing you can do. Got to keep the negavitity to yourself

[jade hare]

okay okay, let's drop it, yes i was just joking with what i was saying. ^^

[midnight mica]

Because I do not want to be dragged into something

[carmine fractal]

I mean nothing wrong with a civil discussion

[smoky token]

Would be good for one flag actually

[smoky token]

sorry, just joined the convo, why do you hate rainbows?

[bronze breach]

What's one flag? Never played it tbh

[hearty flame]

He's being homophobic

[pulsar cobalt]

i think the mcc update is out

[jade hare]

I actually talk to LGBTQ people daily. I have come to learn how they think. It's not all that bad. But the woke is destroying it.

[obsidian wyvern]

but one flag sucks, why would you associate your flag with that mode hmm

[midnight mica]

I mean people will take it wrong and yeah we all know what happens then

[smoky token]

CTF but there’s only one flag that spawns in the middle of the map, whoever caps it and brings it back to their spawn X amount of times wins

[pulsar cobalt]

just got 8.80gb for MCC

[bronze breach]

Thanks titan

[obsidian wyvern]

it's not in the middle

[jade hare]

YES MCC is updating!

[smoky token]

it’s close to the middle

it’s in an easily contested place

[obsidian wyvern]

it spawns at one base and teams take turns defending and attacking

[midnight mica]

But where exactly is the middle 👀

[bronze breach]

It is a question of mathematics

[smoky token]

That’s a different mode

[bronze breach]

Rev, you answer this!

[obsidian wyvern]

that is one flag lol, maybe a different variant

[smoky token]

u sure?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeaa

[carmine fractal]

One flag gang

[midnight mica]

Yeah that’s one flag

[bronze breach]

I just want a bomb type game mode. At least for btb

[hasty zinc]

looks like the MCC update is out

[obsidian wyvern]

one flag is basically "bomb defense" dark

[jade hare]

yup

I download at 37 MB/S this is gonna take a while.

[midnight mica]

Mac cannon defence

[haughty wraith]

Currently getting that update

Hopefully fire

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm gonna open this game just to remap my controller lol

[smoky token]

MB or Mb?

[bronze breach]

Ok, looks like I'm going to get drenched when I walk out the train station

But hey, at least I get a free shower right?

[safe dawn]

Lol

[bronze breach]

Just in time to sweat in btb

[safe dawn]

Somn like that happened to me once

[obsidian wyvern]

have to wait for them to update it

[safe dawn]

Out walking, then an oceans worth of water just yeetz down at us

[safe dawn]

Oof

[jade hare]

[jade hare]

It's not that slow, but my connection speed is double.

[midnight mica]

Nah he’s on that 37 billion mites a second

[obsidian wyvern]

[fickle drift]

[midnight mica]

Mines at 500 ish

[smoky token]

one gigabyte every half minute

[jade hare]

i cant see percentage 😦

[bronze breach]

Squad battle stats not tied to regular btb stats right?

[midnight mica]

No it’s squads only

[fickle drift]

ah dang, guess thats a thing for xbox players only

[obsidian wyvern]

depends on the site

[carmine fractal]

Where we droppin'

[jade hare]

[bronze breach]

Twitter embeds back?

[obsidian wyvern]

it's like the Xbox store for pc

[bronze breach]

At least elon came back to his senses

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah, came back a while ago

[fickle drift]

ah that makes sense

[jade hare]

omg it goes to 15 MB/S Stop downloading people!

[hasty zinc]

Halo Online Reactor map is a big W

[fickle drift]

please tell me they added in the acrophobia skull into ce

[obsidian wyvern]

yesss I got rats nest again

[hasty zinc]

it has my favorite UNSC ship on it 😉

[hasty zinc]

they did!

[safe dawn]

Pov: you have to explain to your friend that research is an essential part of writing a fanfic

[pulsar cobalt]

Resolved a memory leak in Halo: Combat Evolved Campaign missions.

nice

[fickle drift]

greatest news ive heard in my life, i can’t wait to explore cartographer

[hasty zinc]

no way!

[jade hare]

i thought the chat would explode, but it's super calm.

[fickle drift]

OHH so they’re called hunters, not big things

[haughty wraith]

So, is this for MCC or is it modded in?

[hasty zinc]

mcc

[dreamy stirrup]

https://aka.ms/MCCJulyUpdate

[hasty zinc]

no mods

[jade hare]

Noooo it goes to 700 Kb/s

[grizzled gazelle]

Who at 343 do I ask to add the Halo 3 map remakes to the Super Fiesta Playlist on Infinite?

[bronze breach]

Sorry. I'm borrowing your internet connection

[jade hare]

Thief!

[bronze breach]

[haughty wraith]

I mean, i'll make map remakes, im not a 343 employee though

[jade hare]

I would love to make my own maps. I'm just not that intelligent.

[grizzled gazelle]

The new game mode is fun , but I want to play the new maps on Fiesta/Super Fiesta

[bronze breach]

Going to be honest with you. 343 not going to listen to 1 user out of thousands of players and listen to their suggestion.

[jade hare]

343 doesn't even listen to Mint.

[fickle drift]

I mean...

[hasty zinc]

well that's just good business practices

[haughty wraith]

Its actually pretty easy, you just gotta learn how to be precise with the scaling tool, and know how to recolor and retexture, which are both quite easy aswell

[harsh vector]

for some reason at the top 3 player screen on mcc or whatever its called, my spartan shows up with a completely different visor color

[jade hare]

It actually is. Never listen to pro's

[hasty zinc]

"pros"

[bronze breach]

Next version of forge - create maps and modes in python!

[fickle drift]

Stretching the term there.

[bronze breach]

[forest lagoon]

He's a professional YouTuber so I guess that counts

[bronze breach]

I'm a pro too.

[hasty zinc]

professional clickbait artist

[bronze breach]

At camping

[hasty zinc]

I'm professional at being bad at the game

[haughty wraith]

And that's why you're trashing on mint for being good at the game 💀

[bronze breach]

Mint Blitz is a valuable player.

This comment is sponsored by Mint Blitz...

[safe dawn]

Oof

[hasty zinc]

when did I trash on him for being good?

[haughty wraith]

I mean, thats pretty much what yall are doing here

[hasty zinc]

I never said that

[haughty wraith]

And how does he clickbait?

[bronze breach]

Skyfi, hows the new PC. Did you get it custom pre built?

[obsidian wyvern]

mint blitz has outright lied to his fanbase and you're all like nah

[hasty zinc]

now you're moving goalposts

[urban iron]

Anyone else over 600 ping on the new playlist? Like insane latency??

[obsidian wyvern]

no

just had a game on 7 ping

[hasty zinc]

pick one thing and stick with it

[forest lagoon]

Runs amazing and illustrator/Photoshop is not longer hanging up. And yes, I paid microcenter to put it together for me so I could avoid the headache

[haughty wraith]

I only play traditional gamemodes, so i have no idea

[bronze breach]

I feel you. I did that with my current pc back in 2018

What's the specs?

[fickle drift]

how so? i dont really watch him tbh

[untold epoch]

So where do we download this unreleased content or see it?

[obsidian wyvern]

there's loads of tweets where uny has to correct his videos and such, I'm playing rn so cba having to get them

[fickle drift]

alright, thanks

[jade hare]

Hmmm I thought that Digsite stuff was in this update

[forest lagoon]

AMD 7 7700X
RX 6750 XT 12Gb ram
32GB ram

[ornate hatch]

I wish I could turn the headlights on the vehicles off

[bronze breach]

Nice. Good future proofing

I hope to upgrade by Gears 6. If not, I'll temporarily move to console

[versed olive]

They really showed off the classic CE background only to reveal its a custom background, a feature that is PC-exclusive 💀

[hasty zinc]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

they're allowed to show off stuff

[tight remnant]

The one place where it gives me issuees is in Oasis in the caves

[fickle drift]

i did not know that when standing still in the ce collection masterchief inspects his gun, pretty cool detail

[wary egret]

What update was this added??

[hasty zinc]

#general-chat message

[versed olive]

Why are the new maps also only PC-exclusive?

[wary egret]

I did not read that when I read the patch notes last night and I thought I read them thoroughly wth

[hasty zinc]

yeah it's in the patch notes

it's not in that article specifically

but it's in the patch notes

[wary egret]

Ahhh, I gotcha now. Thanks for clarifying!

[hasty zinc]

you're welcome

[obsidian wyvern]

slip I've been dying to get an answer from you

[jade gust]

I'm a little disappointed in how those additional Halo Online maps are being incorporated, especially given how precious maps from that game were properly added to Halo 3

[jade gust]

Wait, what?

[obsidian wyvern]

can we still not ping you nowadays

[jade gust]

Oh! That, I've kinda had to get used to it over on my friend's server I moderate for so I'm more used to it

[obsidian wyvern]

no way

[jade gust]

Yes way, I moderate on a different server

[obsidian wyvern]

pinging slip 😱

[jade gust]

It happens now

It's what happens when you end up friends with a former RWBY animator before they got the job on that show

Changes you

[pulsar cobalt]

More halo online maps got added ?

[urban iron]

It's all of NA east apparently.

[jade gust]

Only via using the mod tools, so you can't play them on console

[midnight mica]

NA more like No Answer

[versed olive]

But why

[pulsar cobalt]

I don't use console

haven't done for years

[jade gust]

Fair but it does feel like a weird decision to make, given that these were just maps from HO that hadn't been released yet

[versed olive]

343 moment I guess

[bronze bronze]

343 built different

[midnight mica]

Company diff

[fickle drift]

i am having WAY too much fun with this skull

[jade gust]

Wish I could check it out but I'm flying today

[winter flame]

From a dev:

A lot of people worked to get the existing Eldo maps in MCC shippable. They had to do this within the confines of an engine whose tech effectively dates back to 2006. Any further engine changes/optimizations can risk breaking stock content if not careful.
https://twitter.com/KornnerStudios/status/1678681699687993344
"Eldo" being short for "Eldorado" - the codename for Halo Online

[uneven crest]

how does one change the menu videos ?

[jade gust]

Ah, fair, would've been nice if they mentioned that in the update to make it clear to people why they were coming the way they are

[midnight mica]

Both?

Both is good

[bronze bronze]

I have halo on gamepass pc will I be able to use the new modded content?

[winter flame]

you can install mods but you dont have steam workshop support so its not as flexible

if youre interested in modding i would get the steam version as its on sale rn i believe

[pulsar cobalt]

I really miss playing battlefront 2

[hearty kiln]

Is there a way to mod on Xbox?

[winter flame]

No

[hearty kiln]

Damn

[midnight mica]

Which one?

[pulsar cobalt]

the one that released in 2017

[bronze bronze]

Such a good game

[midnight mica]

Yea but it’s super complicated and his it’s own art form at this point

[dusky sage]

The newer Battlefront games suck.

[pulsar cobalt]

I personally don't think so

[fickle drift]

still havent removed the invisible walls i see 😭

[bronze bronze]

I think they are good

[fickle drift]

They got better.

[dusky sage]

Christ, my name is so cursed.

[bronze bronze]

Still love 2005 bf2

[pulsar cobalt]

Battlefront 2 was going places until ea stopped support

Pretty sure DICE still had stuff for it but RIP

[versed olive]

I noticed that the bug fix list said that it was less likely for the backgrounds to be reset when opening and closing the game. That's... kinda sad imo?

[bronze bronze]

Yeah to support 2042... and we all know how that went

[midnight mica]

O that one it’s alright prefer the original one tho

[dusky sage]

Memes that made Arbiter into a Swordsmaster

[tired wraith]

Among them

Near us

[fickle drift]

Anyone have any tips for improving awareness and game sense?
I feel like I’m just getting shot from behind all the time and I’m not sure why

map

Learn the maps?

radar, to be more specific

keep ur eyes on the radar

[jaunty yoke]

Lookin at the radar

[fickle drift]

But ranked has no radar

sound

[hasty zinc]

sonar

[jaunty yoke]

It's very simple then, if your shields are getting drained, then you are indeed getting shot from behind

[bronze breach]

Do what I do. Go in a pack or duo. Let one person take out the shields and you go in for the kill.

Never go solo

[round laurel]

Knowledge.

[bronze breach]

If the people die and you the only one left. Run for your life

[midnight mica]

Poor teammates and bad spawns nothing you can do except keep checking where your team is spawning

[jolly willow]

This is a really nice image

Great job team!

[round laurel]

8p FF is a big one.

https://tenor.com/view/here-we-go-again-gta-gif-20483040

[somber wagon]

The personalized menu reset bug is still here. (Series X)

[midnight mica]

You know when they say cut content what does that actually mean

[hasty zinc]

content that was cut

[jade gust]

Content that was removed before release

[midnight mica]

Funny I mean like what’s in it

[vapid siren]

Ngl its pretty self explanatory

[vapid siren]

Enemies, weapons, levels/maps, mechanics

[jade gust]

Generator Defense in Reach had a cut variant from the Reach beta that has been restored as an example

[vapid siren]

Halo 2 can bring back sprint and lean now

[midnight mica]

Right right was just skeptic and that’s all systems?

[bronze breach]

Bring infinite cut content back

[hasty zinc]

there she is!

[bronze breach]

Backward Unto Dusk?

[midnight mica]

Ngl that’s actually a cool name for a sister ship @bronze breach

[bronze breach]

[fickle drift]

Played a lot slower, plugged in some headphones and stuck with teammates, went 31-11 👍

Thanks for the help guys

[winter flame]

No problem 😄

[sturdy wharf]

Obamna

[bronze breach]

Another one is unsc eternity. But that one the parts was used to replace infinity afaik.

Hope the ship becomes a thing and replaces infinity if its destroyed

[hasty zinc]

Infinity gonna need a lot more parts

[bronze breach]

I think it probably emergency slipspaced away

[midnight mica]

Unsc finitely

[sturdy wharf]

SODA!

[jolly willow]

new nameplates?
https://twitter.com/UberNick/status/1679200580932100096

SSG UberNick (@UberNick)

I'm very happy to announce the first ever MCC DROPS playdate!

Watch me or any of these lovely streamers for 1 hour to claim the "Unlikely Pairing" Animated Nameplate!

Starts at 6pm EST / 12th of July!

Twitter · Jul 12, 2023, 6:46 PM

[midnight mica]

Ahh woman I’m scared /s

Hay I gotta put /s because someone will think that’s serious

[hasty zinc]

I mean to be fair you could have just not said that lol

[obsidian wyvern]

all the way from the top of plat 4 to halfway down plat 3 😔

[midnight mica]

Yeah but then you don’t get chat activity

[bronze breach]

Yes! He is playing mcc so I can avoid him in infinite btb!!!!

Thank goodness for that!

[bronze breach]

Rip

[dreamy stirrup]

https://aka.ms/DigsiteDeliveries

[bronze breach]

@obsidian wyvern omg, I saw your stats. Well at least you didnt have bad match like 6 days ago. 2-14

[midnight mica]

Thank you Sam

[obsidian wyvern]

I need to play for a few hours every day to stay consistent otherwise it all drops

[left harbor]

The new MCC Update broke Halo 4 a bit, lol. Submitting a ticket about it. Basically all of the UI elements decided to cram at the top left of the screen 💀

[midnight mica]

Also does anyone remember that old demo disk for the original Xbox that had a bunch of preview footage from combat evolved

[jade gust]

Pretty much everything meant for the Eternity was repurposed to fix up the Infinity after it was hit with a glassing beam, kinda hard to finish up a ship that has no parts to begin with

[midnight mica]

Technically if you replace all the parts of the infinity does that make it it the eternity

[hasty zinc]

can't though, as the eternity was never completed

[winter flame]

It would still have infinity’s systems though? It would be like putting your brain into your twins body

You don’t become your twin

[bronze breach]

like xavier?

[hasty zinc]

I mean, Infinity is the class of ship, as well as the name of the first one of the class

[faint mantle]

https://www.pcgamer.com/half-life-2-mod-lets-you-finally-experience-the-game-as-it-was-meant-to-be-played-in-lego-form/

@smoky token @obsidian wyvern you seein this?

[hasty zinc]

Eternity is/was/will be an Infinity class ship

[midnight mica]

But are you still you?

[winter flame]

Yeah

You are ur brain pretty much

[hasty zinc]

is this a ship of thesus thing

[midnight mica]

Yes lol

[smoky token]

I know the guy who made this mod

[winter flame]

If I can’t move when my cat is laying on me, do I own the cat or does the cat own me

[midnight mica]

Or does gravity own you both for laying down? 👀

Ngl I see why the dude who drank poison had fun question people

[faint mantle]

Of course you do

And yet you didn't recognize the Combine Soldier Spartan

[smoky token]

LOOK

[faint mantle]

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT

[smoky token]

I JUST DIDNT RECOGNIZE IT

OK??

[faint mantle]

[dreamy stirrup]

thanks!! @proper dew did an incredible job!

[proper dew]

Thank ya! 🤘😁

[midnight mica]

I like your organisation the ocd thanks you

[jolly willow]

Nice work - I'm loving how it mirrors the format of the Infinite material lately.

[smoky token]

Had to walk 40 minutes to get to the bus in rain

I’m soaked and I have to take another 40 minutes to ride this bus

[hasty zinc]

back in my day

[smoky token]

don’t you dare

[hasty zinc]

uphill, both ways

[vapid siren]

im over here going slowly insane from work having nothing to do

yes im aware of the irony

[hasty zinc]

play video games while you're working

[smoky token]

do you have a laptop

[hasty zinc]

it's what I do

[smoky token]

any laptop

[vapid siren]

do i have a laptop

what do you think im using rn

[smoky token]

do you?

phone??

it wasn’t a stupid question lmaoo

[vapid siren]

i just dont have a mouse on me rn so kinda just stuck watching vids/streams atm

[pulsar cobalt]

Question do 343 devs look in here for feedback or is it mostly the forum bit ?

[vapid siren]

they're always watching

[smoky token]

https://parsec.app

download this on your home PC when you get the chance

works wonderfully

[vapid siren]

[smoky token]

can play games using the power of your home PC

[vapid siren]

true

[pulsar cobalt]

litreally this

😂

[midnight mica]

Mods watch us then report back to to oni for future investigations

[vapid siren]

but yeah like... while its nice to have no workload it is quite mundane cause im stuck in the basement of a hospital waiting for anyone to maybe show up to do theit software trainings

[midnight mica]

Do not go sitting in corn fields at night

[midnight mica]

Ngl hospital basement sounds like a sketchy place

[vapid siren]

at the same time i get paid like 19/hr for 8hrs to sit around and do nothing compared to best buy having me at 15/hr answering nonstop phone calls of stupid questions

so we up

[crude juniper]

Why is the radar on the top left of halo mcc

[steady jolt]

Knocking it out the park, as usual

[proper dew]

Cheers mate!!

[crude juniper]

Fr I need help on the settings! I want to get my radar back to its position for halo mcc

[pulsar cobalt]

Now where is the dev that did cedar mud one haha because that coating is straight up fire

[plush sandal]

The acrophobia skull seems to be a little broken in CE since the update. After a bit your character locks up and you can move or switch weapons. Solo and split screen. Happens to both players, you can spin around on your screen only but to the other person you are perfectly still

[crude juniper]

No one knows what I’m talking about

Everyone is in their own conversations

[steady jolt]

Maybe try dropping a post in #1076337363770417172 about your issue?

[steady jolt]

I'd submit a bug report for this if you can reproduce it

[midnight mica]

Are you talking about the ui being stuck in one corner?

[bronze breach]

do I submit a ticket for diminisher of hope trolls. Died by teammates twice using it to push me off the cliff on btb scarr

That push effect shouldn't be enabled on teammates

[pulsar cobalt]

i'd say leave it in

[faint mantle]

Make a support ticket about it, with video evidence if possible.

[hasty zinc]

that's pretty funny though

[calm fiber]

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

https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[round laurel]

You can't change radar position.

[midnight mica]

That comes under betrayal you literally just have to let the servers deal with it

[bronze breach]

but if gravity hammer doesnt do it or repulsor, its odd to see the diminisher of hope does it...

i thought it was just an oversight

[midnight mica]

It knocks you back too when you use it

It’s the ultimate chaos

[crude juniper]

Is your halo mcc radar now on the top left?

[jade gust]

Which game in MCC are you talking about?

[crude juniper]

UI? I’m talking about the radar in the HUD being moved to the top left corner when it was always on the bottom corner

[plush sandal]

Oh I can reproduce it easily. I guess I should try a different mission to see if it was just halo. Is there a place to submit tickets here or is there an official forum?

[calm fiber]

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

https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[crude juniper]

Halo reach and halo 3

I went into two games and this is messing me up

[vapid siren]

your hud scaling is probably messed up. try verifying files and just file a support ticket lol

[midnight mica]

Someone mentioned there ui was all stuck in the top corner of the screen I’m wondering if it’s related

[wary egret]

I've noticed a load of new nameplates appear in Player ID. Does anyone know how to unlock these?

[round laurel]

I'm too lazy to load up MCC but I'm checking a few people on Twitch out and their Halo 3 radar is in the normal position. Are other HUD elements in their correct place?

[crude juniper]

I pay for the ultimate pass to play on my Chromebook. I’m limited to setting but I’m a great player who wins but this radar thing post July 12 update really is messing me up

[midnight mica]

Just make a ticket or #1075989764026675210 I’m sure your not the only one

[crude juniper]

I did. I just won’t play anymore. It’s all the games. Not just reach and H3

I’ll just play another game. Who cares

[round laurel]

Just for the sake of curiosity, are the other HUD elements like your grenades visible?

[crude juniper]

I don’t see where I can upload a screenshot

[calm fiber]

Please note that direct uploads are disabled. In order to share your content, you'll need to upload it elsewhere and share a link here. Twitter, Instagram, and Imgur.com are excellent options for this. Thanks for understanding!

[round laurel]

You can link from imgur, but direct uploads and embeds are disabled for normal users.

[midnight mica]

I’m anything but normal lol but yeah

[crude juniper]

mhm yeah I’ll just leave it as is.

[faint mantle]

We are curious about what you see though

[round laurel]

Wrong chat? lol

[midnight mica]

You said “for normal users”

[round laurel]

Never mind.

[midnight mica]

But seriously I kinda want to know now

[bronze breach]

I'm not normal either. I am a serial complainer. Ask anyone

[hasty zinc]

idk anyone, are they new to the server?

[bronze breach]

[midnight mica]

I don’t know why anyone needs to tell me that but we all see lol

That doesn’t sound right in text

[brave helm]

a warning if you're gonna use acrophobia in halo ce if you go out of bounds your movement gets completely disabled

[midnight mica]

You get it

[safe dawn]

anyone notice how the danger zones emblem has green radioactive and blue coils on the picture on the bp, but on the actual emblem theyre swapped?

[faint mantle]

I don't see the anomaly

[hasty zinc]

yee, that's been a thing in CE forever. Bungie failsafe

[brave helm]

bruh

[midnight mica]

Wait there’s a speck text option

[brave helm]

and here's me thinking ce would be the best with that skull
oh well

[hasty zinc]

blame bungo

[bronze breach]

No, I blame you

[midnight mica]

O my god I swear if auto correct keeps changing my text I’m “I’m gonna break my monitor I swear” 🔨

[hasty zinc]

I'll take the heat

[bronze breach]

And my next door neighbour down 5 streets

[hasty zinc]

you just deliver that package

[brave helm]

also staying in place mid air you're slowly falling

[glad tapir]

huh?

[bronze breach]

ok delivering a Domino Pizza to Pizza Hut

[glad tapir]

another update?

[midnight mica]

Jedi?

[hasty zinc]

I mean.. it's something that wasn't in the original games, it's gonna have quirks

it's just something to goof around with

[elfin glacier]

Dangerous

[bronze breach]

I live dangerously

[glad tapir]

I feel you mate.

[brave helm]

i guess the skull just gets more useless with each game its added too

[fickle drift]

The way assists are counted is so stupid, just coz they're recharging their shields doesn't mean you haven't assisted in killing them

But you get an assist even if they've been sniped in the head for example

[brave helm]

at least you can technically slide on the ground pretty fast with the skull

[bronze breach]

FTC may seek an appeal on the preliminary injunction.

No final decision been made yet though

[hasty zinc]

I'll deny the appeal

don't worry

[slim zealot]

Lol?

[muted gyro]

[bronze breach]

1000 halo infinite credits to accept the appeal.

[winter flame]

I’ll then appeal his denial of the appeal

[midnight mica]

It means nothing is this the activison thing?

[bronze breach]

Yeah

[midnight mica]

Yeah they won it will just be delayed

It’s all legal talk for “ftc is salty”

As they say in movies “the people have spoken”

[winter flame]

Regulator does job

ftc is salty

[bronze breach]

My assumption is they going to pull bias/ conflict of interest card because the judge's son works at Microsoft but she said he doesnt work at the gaming division.

[glad tapir]

wth is this update???

[round laurel]

FTC done a bad job of representing the people,though. They defended Sony too heavily.

[glad tapir]

60 gb!??

[winter flame]

You know these people don’t have personal vendettas against big companies. They’re literally just doing what their suppose to do lol

[glad tapir]

64.42 gb

[jaunty yoke]

Is Halo 2 grifball out?

[midnight mica]

The court is the people ftc are all thing

[glad tapir]

nvm its patching.

[midnight mica]

Ftc just screw people over for fun most the time

[jaunty yoke]

The judge had to remind the FTC that they're supposed to defend the customer, not Sony

[bronze breach]

Sony does not care about agreements or call of duty, they simply want to prevent the merger so Microsoft doesnt get bigger

[midnight mica]

I recon there’s some inside info going on with Sony because the whole case was super strange

Hypocritically

[round laurel]

What do you mean by inside info?

Both companies know what the competitor is doing, they have informants.

[bronze breach]

Sony lost with CMA anyway. They said they didnt find harm to consumers.

It's the cloud gaming part that's the issue.

[midnight mica]

They have something to gain but that’s all theory

[jaunty yoke]

A lot of private mails from both companies came out

[winter flame]

UK and US regulators do job

“This is corruption Sony must have bribed them”???

[midnight mica]

Yeah so who knows

[midnight mica]

You don’t know a lot about the ftc then

[bronze breach]

@ recon. One of CMA director used work for a law firm representing Sony. So that's something lol

[winter flame]

Big if true

[midnight mica]

Yeah the ftc have been doing shady deals for years

[jaunty yoke]

What bugs me is that those regulators don't have a problem with Sony being number 1 in the game market but will step on and do something if Sony's number 1 spot gets threatened

[midnight mica]

Hench the theory

[bronze breach]

Isnt Australia also set to block it too?

At least what I read before

[jaunty yoke]

New Zealand

[bronze breach]

Oh

[midnight mica]

Don’t that place and it’s politics is a land mine

[jaunty yoke]

And they have not blocked or approved it, they chose to delay their verdict

[bronze breach]

Like CMA who wanted to delay the appeal to October so they can plot...

[jaunty yoke]

Considering Australia banned Mortal Kombat 9 for years, yeahhhhh

[midnight mica]

Won’t matter anyway tbh

[winter flame]

I don’t really think anyone would defend Sony as not being anti competitive but regulators should have stopped these practices decades ago and Sony didn’t invent them

[glad tapir]

guys why was the update 62 gb big?

[winter flame]

This is just regulators finally getting teeth

[midnight mica]

You got the Trojan

[jaunty yoke]

Then you have Bobby Kotick, Activision's CEO, being all in for the merger, defending it and wanting it to happen, and then say he doesn't like game services like Game Pass, but will be forced into it when the merger is complete

[midnight mica]

You mean like with tiktok lol

[bronze breach]

Sony probably only wants to block the merger because they know they cant afford it to acquire a company with the same amount of money lol.

So they be like, if we cant spend 69 billion, so MS cant either.

[round laurel]

TikTok is a whole different ball game.

[glad tapir]

huh?

[bronze breach]

[glad tapir]

nahhhhh

[midnight mica]

But does it use Wi-Fi? 😂

[jaunty yoke]

I can tell you now if Sony had the money to buy Activison they would have done so and they wouldn't have negotiated Call of Duty with anyone else

[bronze breach]

Microsoft should have bought Twitter

[midnight mica]

Like come on we got people “defending” us and they still don’t understand the concept of a Wi-Fi connection

[round laurel]

I mean, why not try to block it? It is a massive acquisition, so if you can try block it, why not do it? They're a corporation made purely for profit.

[winter flame]

And let me guess, you think regulators wouldn’t have stopped them

[midnight mica]

They have investments to watch just saying

[jaunty yoke]

Yeah

[bronze breach]

True. They didnt try to block Bethesda did they?

[glad tapir]

Twitter should get cancelled 💀

[winter flame]

Sony secretly controls western governments 😈

They’ve been pulling all the strings all this time

[midnight mica]

No it’s about money not a conspiracy

[glad tapir]

Twitter is a place for arguments to occur.

[midnight mica]

Line goes up line goes down

[winter flame]

So Microsoft doesn’t have money to bride regulators but Sony does?

[midnight mica]

Btw this has all been seen before mine you this ist new

[round laurel]

I don't believe so.

[bronze breach]

My plan..

Microsoft buys Activison...

Me buys Microsoft...

Me makes all current and future games exclusive to my phone - samsung galaxy s10

[winter flame]

It’s conspiracy man

[bronze breach]

Playing the long game here

[midnight mica]

No it’s about the stock

[jaunty yoke]

That's exactly why Twiter should stay

[obsidian wyvern]

just get rid of elon

[round laurel]

It's too late for that.

[fickle drift]

Can you add them to A54 5g 😄

[bronze breach]

[midnight mica]

Agine this has been said before I’ll leave it there

[jaunty yoke]

If you take away Twitter, the place people use to fight, they won't stop fighting, they'll just take the fight elsewhere

[winter flame]

Explain how regulators would let Sony become a monopoly but not Microsoft “because stock”?

[round laurel]

Next stop: Meta's Threads!

[fickle drift]

Hope twitter and threads collapse

[obsidian wyvern]

that died the day it came out

[bronze breach]

Someone actually bought 1 million worth of Activison stock...

Recently

[midnight mica]

Because if you have investments in a company/ if a company lost a ton of money and someone was to short the stock, they would make a lot of money

[fickle drift]

Elon musk?

Or me.................

[bronze breach]

Doubt it lol

[winter flame]

What does this have to do with regulators lol

[shrewd yoke]

Very smart to make King of the Hill in big maps

[midnight mica]

They own said stock

[winter flame]

Lol

[shrewd yoke]

I really don't know what the issue with intelligence devs have

[obsidian wyvern]

old games had koth

and it's 8v8

[midnight mica]

You can literally go look it’s public information

[winter flame]

Gonna have to back that one up buddy because it would be a major scandal in the UK if there was proof

[midnight mica]

I don’t need to prove anything

[winter flame]

Okayyy

[round laurel]

You need to work on giving feedback.

[fickle drift]

Bro thinks he lives in 1984

[jaunty yoke]

The real question is, after Activison, who's next to buy?

[fickle drift]

Me.

[bronze breach]

"Xbox will now let you clip and report audio to clean up Call of Duty lobbies"

O.o

[shrewd yoke]

Useless...

[obsidian wyvern]

🤨

[fickle drift]

Time for cod to die on xbox kek

Good ol mw2 times

[round laurel]

I saw that. I think it's a great idea.

[fickle drift]

No it isn't.

[round laurel]

Although I assume AI will be doing most of the work.

[fickle drift]

Litteraly

[bronze breach]

Hopefully it will expand to all games

[midnight mica]

You mean like all the scandals we have anyway

[jaunty yoke]

Currently Microsoft is developing a safe -18 voice chat party system and Sony is working on a real time expert help when you get stuck in a game and I can already tell both ideas are gonna flop hard

[round laurel]

It is.

If you don't have tools to combat verbal toxicity, people will just flip out and create an unwelcome environment for the many.

People are smart, they realised you could just verbally assault someone on Xbox and get away with it.

[winter flame]

Nintendo 😄

[bronze breach]

Isnt trolling against the xbox code of conduct?

[round laurel]

If you text message rude stuff, you get the hammer.

[fickle drift]

As a ps5 owner, just search it up on your damn phone

[jaunty yoke]

TRUE

[fickle drift]

People can regrow the spines they've lost and deal with some bad words. COD lobbies being ridiculous is half the point of them.

[midnight mica]

As long as it’s not offensive

[bronze breach]

EA or Ubisoft

[jaunty yoke]

I'm an achievement hunter and I've watched hundreds upon hundreds of YouTube guides to unlock achievements

[fickle drift]

They would lose money on ea

Litteraly

[round laurel]

I think we both recognise that general trash talk isn't being targeted here.

[midnight mica]

I mean probably a smaller company tbh

[fickle drift]

Oh youre talking about the funny words arent you

[bronze breach]

Ok.. then Sony...

Why compete when you can buy out the competition?

[fickle drift]

Sony's a broke boy

[jaunty yoke]

Imagine buying Capcom. You get Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Megaman, Dino Crisis and more

[fickle drift]

Remake re 5 6

[midnight mica]

I was gonna @ Sony but there is actually someone named Sony lol

[bronze breach]

Lmao

[fickle drift]

I have zero issue with the other stuff either. I was late teens/20s at the height of xbox/xbox 360 cod lobbies...and a female (an actual born one) and you just deal with it. There's some over the top wild stuff that's been said...and I think policing speech is lame. People wanna say some not so friendly words...who cares? It's a word.

[jaunty yoke]

It beats me how Sony bought Bungie, and their next game, Marathon, is gonna be multiplatform, and live service... eww

[fickle drift]

I love xbox

[hasty zinc]

money

[jaunty yoke]

Same

[fickle drift]

"an actual born one" topkek

[midnight mica]

Same 🤝

[jaunty yoke]

I played Marathon, and honestly I don't know if you can make it that different to Halo. Halo just takes all the ideas from Marathon and modernizes them

[tired wraith]

What’s the new heart emblem thingy

[bronze breach]

They should invest in old IPs like battletoads had been

[fickle drift]

💪

[dreamy stirrup]

Disability Pride emblem/nameplate in Halo Infinite!

[jaunty yoke]

YES

[tired wraith]

Oh

Ok

[fickle drift]

Microsoft needs to tell bethesda to remaster fallout 2 (not remake it)

Best pc game of all time 😎

[jaunty yoke]

Microsoft owns Rare, that means Killer Instinict, Banjo/Kazooie, and such. Perfect Dark is one of their franchises and they're making a new one, hopefully the others get some too

[midnight mica]

Bring 👏 back, command 👏 and 👏 conquer

[fickle drift]

Amen brother

[hasty zinc]

well I mean it's an extraction shooter, that's pretty different than Halo

[midnight mica]

So halo tarkov?

[bronze breach]

I thought The Coalition was working on perfect Dark series?

[glad tapir]

REAL?

[jaunty yoke]

They are

[vapid siren]

more like cycles frontier most likely

[jaunty yoke]

But the Perfect Dark franchise was created by Rare

[vapid siren]

tarkov is just the extremest end of the genre

[bronze breach]

Ahh.

[vapid siren]

dmz being the opposite end

[midnight mica]

Where does vigor sit on the spectrum

[jaunty yoke]

Speaking of awesome games coming to Xbox with completely unknown release dates
Stalker 2

[midnight mica]

And voidtrain

[vapid siren]

the stalker devs have bigger priorities than making the game atm

[fickle drift]

tarkov my beloved (pain)

[bronze breach]

Well I genuinely think Gears 6 will be the last. With The Coalition new commitments, I dont see any more Gears game beyond that.

They may invest I making their own IP perhaps as well

[fickle drift]

They moved to czechia i believe

[glad tapir]

how th is escape from tarkov not on steam.

[vapid siren]

just how it is

[fickle drift]

Made by russian devs, russian company. believe they cant

[midnight mica]

Yeah I don’t think they stayed

[jaunty yoke]

If I recall, Epic Games sold the Gears franchise to Microsoft because "they didn't know what else to do with it"
