general-chat

[glad tapir]

Didn't know lol.

[hasty zinc]

they get more money that way

[midnight mica]

Can’t remember the story

[fickle drift]

Also yeah, you cant refund tarkov i believe

So thats another reason

[midnight mica]

That made me giggle I can hear the frustration

[safe dawn]

wait what?

i thought they fixed that

[fickle drift]

Only cope for s2 i have is that its not on ps5 😢

Id give you guys final fantasy 16 just so we can share it

[bronze breach]

Correct and didnt want to make any more either. Microsoft set up a new division within the studio to help the wider xbox game studios..
As a consequence, it may mean less games from them

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

[jaunty yoke]

Both Gears 4 and Halo 4 deserve more love

[midnight mica]

Can we keep him

[dreamy stirrup]

@shrewd yoke please don't bypass the filter.

[round laurel]

I agree with Epic here. The original trilogy felt like a complete story. I would've been fine with it ending at Gears 3. What do you think?

[bronze breach]

Gears 4 was confirmed to be a refined Gears 3 because they rebuilt the entire game in Unreal engine 4

[midnight mica]

I mean cars normally have 6 gears

[jaunty yoke]

Gears 5 is pretty good, sometimes a little too big

[shrewd yoke]

Then please fix these issues so that people don't get mad

[dreamy stirrup]

this is not a support avenue.

[fickle drift]

I prefer 12 gears

[midnight mica]

She’s just doing her work leave her be go make a ticket or #1075989764026675210

[bronze breach]

I agree. Story should have ended. Now everything just U-tuned back and saying... oh they didnt really die to begin with.

Makes characters death and war useless

[midnight mica]

Damm you going to a race?

[jaunty yoke]

Gears 2 still to this day has some of the best characters I've ever seen in a videogame

[fickle drift]

Yes 😎 🏎️

[fickle drift]

I know 0 stuff about gears

[bronze breach]

I will say this...

Gears 5 walked before Infinite could run

(In other words, open world shooter was tested for Gears 5, to see how successfult it would be)

[jaunty yoke]

I better hope Starfield has Spartan armors as an option for our astronaut because I wanna go the Halo way

[fickle drift]

But i saw a tiktok of some new recruit getting eaten by some monster and it was sad

[midnight mica]

Personally I think gears 6 is the fastest

[fickle drift]

Honestly that would be nice if you could find it on some planet

[midnight mica]

That’s gonna be £50

[fickle drift]

🤣

[jaunty yoke]

Coming tomorrow to game pass: Exoprimal; a.k.a: Mechs vs Dinosaurs

[bronze breach]

I'm a Gears fan first tbh. Used to run a Gears fan twitter page highlighting all news to the community as an infographic amongst other things.

I used to be a mod for the Gears reddit up until Gears 5 release before I resigned

[midnight mica]

Sad part is that joke will probably become true

[fickle drift]

The Gears Wizard

[hasty zinc]

Used to run a Gears fan twitter page highlighting all news to the community as an infographic amongst other things.

now we get it all here

[midnight mica]

Yeah I miss gears I hope we get another game

[bronze breach]

👍

[jaunty yoke]

I want to believe the broken state Fallout 76 released in is related to the fact that the game was multiplayer and not singleplayer

[midnight mica]

And a small team Todd was riding

[bronze breach]

There is a standard Gears Cog helmet in infinte iirc

[fickle drift]

I like f76 now and yes the engine was not made for mp

[jaunty yoke]

Gears 5 has Kat and Emile from Noble Team doesn't it

[misty spindle]

isn't Starfield a single player game?

[bronze breach]

Yup

[midnight mica]

Yeah

[misty spindle]

are people really going to pay a lot of money for a skin/character if its single player?

[fickle drift]

(oblivion)

[midnight mica]

Yes

[fickle drift]

(horse armour)

[midnight mica]

This

[jaunty yoke]

Yup, althought I wouldn't be surprised if later down the line Starfield gets multiplayer of some sort, be it deathmatch or coop. A game that big has potential for either

[bronze breach]

Headcanon: Emile and Kat was transported to the Gears Universe, similar to spiderman no way home

[midnight mica]

Yeah fortnight ties them all together

[jaunty yoke]

That's more or less the lore explanation of why Spartan Nicole is a playable character in Dead or Alive 4 lmao

Bungie didn't want Koei Tecmo to use the Master Chief so they created a new Spartan in the lore just for her appearance in the game

[midnight mica]

Which universe do the characters live in:
A.fortnight
B.wreck it Ralph 2

[void spruce]

👍

[bronze breach]

I think Kait Diaz needs to be put on trial for committing genocide of the remaining human race just because she wants to sleep better

If I recall, the lore was, at the point post Gears 3, humanity was on the verge of extinction

[jaunty yoke]

I actually don't know how they managed to include the Hayabusa armor back for MCC when they couldn't get it in Halo 4 because of expired licenses

[midnight mica]

Wait an official got away with a crime…. Anyway

[bronze breach]

Yeah pretty much

[midnight mica]

It’s 100% accurate

10/10 realism -IGN

[jaunty yoke]

Am I the only one who when on an indoors place in Infinite's campaign I would always try to grapple to the ceiling?

[midnight mica]

I can’t say I have

[bronze breach]

Didnt play campaign beyond mission 2 so cant say I have either

[jaunty yoke]

Surprisingly you can go very high up in a lot of those places

[royal lava]

I’ve just got Halo mcc on steam and I’m getting ue4 fatal error then the game crashes

[midnight mica]

No support with that pfp

[fickle drift]

Restarting your computer can sometimes help

[bronze breach]

I assume UE4 is just used for the menus?

[jaunty yoke]

Refund it, and with the refund money pay for a game pass ultimate subscription, open the xbox app and play MCC through the cloud

[queen remnant]

Basically

[bronze breach]

I didn't think it was possible for using another engine within an engine just for the menu

Curious as to know how it works

[midnight mica]

£1 for new members for 3 months

#notsponserd

[jaunty yoke]

Not for me tho

I've been a subscriber for 4 years

[midnight mica]

Yeah it’s a n inside joke because when you get ambassador you get some points for #ad

[left heart]

is anyone else not able to play modded campgains after the new update?

im not getting the option to selecet the campagin

[void spruce]

mods may have to be updated.

[obsidian wyvern]

would you think this would end up as a collateral

[jaunty yoke]

Lemme guess, you were trying to play Cursed Halo

[left heart]

yeah haha

[midnight mica]

Yeah mods will probably need an update

[jaunty yoke]

Only if both of them die

[left heart]

but thats so dumb why would they release an update breaking every mod

[midnight mica]

No

[obsidian wyvern]

the shot has already been fired, it shouldnt go through both of them

[bronze breach]

Rev, hows your matches going?

[obsidian wyvern]

i quit

[jaunty yoke]

It's not that, mods are made to be compatible with the specific version of the game at the time of creation, so if the game gets an update, mods need an update too

[void spruce]

Thats how it always has been.

[midnight mica]

This

[bronze breach]

Same, I quit after 2 games. First match I done quit good and got rampage.

I'm just not feeling it today

[midnight mica]

You can’t make a mod for a version of the game that doesn’t exist yet

Past tense

[void spruce]

It happens to everyone. Just take a break and play/do something else 🙂

[jaunty yoke]

Quitters 😡

[bronze breach]

I got back from work lol, I normally play like 5 games for an hr and half

[midnight mica]

Tbh I got distracted with talking it’s been on the menu for like 5-6 hours

[bronze breach]

But today I wasnt feeling it and quit after just 2 lol

[jaunty yoke]

Infinite should have the same system MCC has where if you quit matches you get a temporal matchmaking ban

[midnight mica]

Everything should have this

[bronze breach]

Should be like Gears 5. Temp ban for all playlists for x minutes and also play x amount of quick play matches to also get unbanned

[midnight mica]

Life should have a giant screen that warns you

[limpid nova]

Hey guys curious what controller settings everyone is running, if they tweaked anything or not with the update

[worthy ginkgo]

in what game?

[jaunty yoke]

21 years and I still haven't been kidnapped and contrispted into a Spartan program 😩

[midnight mica]

Which game

There was a mcc update

[limpid nova]

Mcc update there is remapping on controller now

[jaunty yoke]

I use the default controller settings Infinite has except for one difference: I crouch with the right stick and melee with B. It's perfect like that

[midnight mica]

You gotta be bi for that like the real Spartans where

[limpid nova]

I melee with the right stick all the time b is for switch grenades and ai scan

[fickle drift]

Anyone else having problems with MCC's new update?

[jaunty yoke]

I know almost every shooter out there uses the right stick for melee. But idk, it feels weird for me

[fickle drift]

For me I can't access any of the new content

It'll be in the workshop, categorized into packs

[midnight mica]

Use one tap of the trigger for short zoom double tap for long zoom

[fickle drift]

No like I meant Escalation Slayer and the CE acrophobia

[jaunty yoke]

Soooo, what can Xbox players access to in this new MCC update?

[midnight mica]

Everything apparently

That’s how I read it

Also who said cap I said apparently

[jaunty yoke]

Imma check real quick

[fickle drift]

None of the mod related content is available on Xbox, so the cut maps, vehicles, etc.

[hearty kiln]

Hey how many people maximum can play on firefight browser

[midnight mica]

Best do

[midnight mica]

8 is what the news said

[hearty kiln]

Ok thanks

[jaunty yoke]

Don't you think firefight with 8 players would bee too easy? The games didn't just have a limit of 4 players, they were made around 4 players, designed for 4 players and thought for 4 players

[elder pasture]

For me the new update is 56 GB for some reason idk why

[limpid nova]

The remapping should be able to unmpan buttons, tryna figure out setup for h3 but it insisting that I need to map something to dual wield

*unmap

[midnight mica]

8 people on legendary wave 100

[fickle drift]

I can't access escalation slayer or Acrophobia

And I cannot update the game through Steam

So I'm stuck

[compact nexus]

yo what's up

[midnight mica]

A plane

[jaunty yoke]

Will MCC still get more achievements or are 700 enough?

[midnight mica]

Wait there 700

[jaunty yoke]

Yes

[midnight mica]

Daammm

[jaunty yoke]

And I have them all, took me 4+ years 😎

[midnight mica]

Took me N/A

[fickle drift]

I don't reckon they will, best chance was for ODST's Firefight update and they said they didn't plan on adding them at the time.

[midnight mica]

Tbh tho how much score is 700 achievements

[jaunty yoke]

7000 gamerscore

[midnight mica]

Ah that’s not alot thought I’d be more

[jaunty yoke]

That's why they should round it up to 1000 achievements 😈

[midnight mica]

I’m trying to get to 1 million score next

Only need another 900,000

[glacial moth]

hey if i reinstall Infinite I can play these H3 maps in a playlist? Or is this some community custom mode.

[fickle drift]

Man seeing Powerhouse in H3 is uncanny

[limpid nova]

Toggle flashlight is necessary to map c'mon really?

[midnight mica]

It gets spooky

[jaunty yoke]

They are in a playlist

You don't have to install any Halo game btw, they are all on the cloud

[glacial moth]

even the base game? I dont have it at all uninstalled it many months ago

on PC btw

[jaunty yoke]

Yeah

It's a multiplayer playlist, in matchmaking

[dreamy stirrup]

good news

you can now install just multiplayer

[mystic shell]

I wish there were a way to ask 343 and get an official response on their situation involving mod support for anniversary graphics for halo ce and 2.

It's something a lot of modders want.

[dull trellis]

whats up gang ?

[jaunty yoke]

The sky

[compact nexus]

yoyo

[dull trellis]

Halo 2 man ....... Halo 2

[dreamy stirrup]

where'd you get the 1v1 emoji?

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 2 and Halo 4 have some of the best skyboxes in the franchise

[dull trellis]

Halo 4 Cortana was lit but thats about it for me

[jaunty yoke]

The skybox in Shutdown, beautiful

[winter flame]

They should add Vidmaster Endure and make it 701 😄

[jaunty yoke]

I remember doing the Halo 3 final run 4 players in ghosts with iron skull on, we only died 3 times, never undertood what was so hard about it

[limpid nova]

Anyone use shift on controllers? I just to replicate my infinite setup to mcc but I have a weird setup lol I'm going to think up another way of going about it

[dull trellis]

Now Halo 5 was amazing !! but there were only like 5 maps ...

[winter flame]

Honestly Endure isn’t that hard but with peer 2 peer you lagged so much and disconnected half the time

[worldly kettle]

Got a question rq. I don’t need mod tools to actually use mods for mcc right?

[winter flame]

Nope

[jaunty yoke]

Nah, mod tools are for creating mods

[worldly kettle]

Okay thank you

[opaque epoch]

can’t send pictures anywhere?

[jaunty yoke]

Although any mods that haven't been updated won't work at the moment

[midnight mica]

Although a loader for consoles would be nice

[dreamy stirrup]

depends what for

if you just wanna show off stuff, we got #1076327824924872755

but you'll need a link to your content, no direct uploads.

[jaunty yoke]

I 100% agree mod support for consoles would be great

[midnight mica]

Bethesda have it so I see no reason why not

[mystic shell]

It just seems really weird 343 never confirmed nor denied any plans for future mod support for the anniversary graphics. Almost as if it's something they're working on but can't say anything publicly yet.

[opaque epoch]

thats a lot of steps for a picture

nevermind

[dreamy stirrup]

just go to Imgur.com

upload, then paste

unfortunately people can't be trusted with direct uploads

but the links embed! 🙂

or DM it to a friend on Discord and use the image link from your DM

[limpid nova]

I use imgur it's probably the handiest

[jaunty yoke]

Has someone used the Saber for a map ever since it was added to Reach's forge? Or it only works with modded maps?

[opaque epoch]

yea true

appreciate it

[midnight mica]

You can use Xbox.com too for images on your Xbox account

[fickle drift]

I’ve seen a few maps in the Browser use the Sabre and Seraph, they’re a bit jank though so I don’t imagine they get used very often

[jaunty yoke]

Hmmm

[obsidian wyvern]

i didnt mean that sort of quit

[jaunty yoke]

Would be awesome like in Halo 4 that they added the Pelican and Broadsword to Forge

[obsidian wyvern]

like, i stopped playing lol

[midnight mica]

I just want to pilot the pelican once in a game in forge

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 4

[jaunty yoke]

And Reach through an easter egg

[midnight mica]

Probably should of specifically said forge

[jaunty yoke]

They did listen to my inner kid tho
Back then in Halo 2 I always wanted to use Tartarus' hammer, now we will finally can

[bronze breach]

I swear imgur was going to require an account to upload images. What happened to that?

[midnight mica]

Like imagine a sandbox with invasions between the unsc and banished/covenant with all the the vehicles

[winter flame]

They haven’t really ruled out anything so I wouldn’t get your hopes up. It’s Saber’s engine (Saber3D) but Saber do still work on MCC so ig it’s possible they could release some kind of mod tool for it but no idea if they would

[jaunty yoke]

You can board Hunters in Halo 2 like you can in Reach with a skull now btw

[midnight mica]

There’s a joke here

[jade gust]

There's no joke there

[mystic shell]

Hmm, sounds like there may be some private behind the scenes stuff involving the subject.

[jade gust]

I just wish I could check it out because I am not currently able to play the game

[obsidian wyvern]

i cant see how it was

[jaunty yoke]

Didn't the bullet ricochet

[midnight mica]

Bro you useing aim bot lol

[obsidian wyvern]

it didnt reply to the message awesome

[jade gust]

Doesn't happen in Infinite

[midnight mica]

I’m so confused how did you shoot two people with one bullet?

[jaunty yoke]

Bullet magnetism :3

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean its possible, but that didnt line up to kill both of them lol

[mental mauve]

Im saying they need to port it to pc. Stand alone or part of the MCC at this point 5 should be on pc regarless of how bad the campaign was. Mutliplayer was really fun. Charge like 5 bucks for it as a dlc

[jaunty yoke]

Hitboxes are a little weird, you can kill someone by just shooting at the weapon they're holding

[midnight mica]

Yeah you shot him in the head your just too good

O my god your the guy who did jfk that’s how

It’s the magic bullet all over agine

[winter flame]

I’ve rewatched it 20 times now and concluded you performed some kind of dark magic wizardry

Bending bullets

Impressive

[bronze breach]

Power of desync

RIP phone at 4%

[midnight mica]

It’s that 300 ms latency I was talking about this morning

[winter flame]

Maybe the bullet ricocheted inside one Spartans skull

[hasty zinc]

data or battery?

[fickle drift]

It’s weird, it looks like you fire two shots at once

[bronze breach]

On wifi right now, battery

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah i could see 2 streaks too

[calm fiber]

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

https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[fickle drift]

oh, thanks

[obsidian wyvern]

but you can also try trouble shoot it in #1075989764026675210

[midnight mica]

Maybe it registers another bullet as yours

[hasty zinc]

ricochet

[obsidian wyvern]

infinite bullets arent supposed to richochet though lol

[hasty zinc]

oh then idk

[tepid galleon]

Can you still redeem the northwest sky coating or is it expired?

[obsidian wyvern]

yes u can redeem it

[tepid galleon]

I have a code for it but I scratched off a number😅

[bronze breach]

Should have got a Quigley for that

[obsidian wyvern]

get the notepad out

[obsidian wyvern]

i did

[bronze breach]

Nice

[winter flame]

can you freeze an earlier frame

I wonder if they lined up but the death animation is not

[midnight mica]

Going full conspiracy theory on this shot

[obsidian wyvern]

?

[midnight mica]

Zoom in and enhance

[winter flame]

Slow it down and enhance

Enhance how only CSI knows

[hasty zinc]

do you have the theatre clip?

[jade gust]

We need that movie zoom and enhance where it produces a high quality image despite zooming in loads

[midnight mica]

Are you sure you didn’t shoot twice

[obsidian wyvern]

this was like months ago

ive just been clearing my clips out

[midnight mica]

Well there goes my ideas lol

[winter flame]

The shot is on the second guys head, the first guy you shot just saw his buddy get shot in the head and had a heart attack

[obsidian wyvern]

ages ago

[obsidian wyvern]

lmao

[midnight mica]

Now I know why cold cases are hard to solve

[gentle bronze]

@ 343 add the ability to create custom campaign playlists please

[obsidian wyvern]

aegis' detective era is over

[hasty zinc]

not enough information

[fickle drift]

Maybe the game updated on the second shot and repositioned your first shot through a miscalculation. Idek if that’s possible.

[obsidian wyvern]

i swear you used to be a mod

[obsidian wyvern]

gotta make do with what you have smh

[midnight mica]

“This mystery will be forever…..UNSLOVED”

[jaunty yoke]

MCC actually was gonna have custom campaign playslists, it's one of the few cut content we know of

[obsidian wyvern]

in conclusion, I should not have been granted the kill lol

[hasty zinc]

how many quigleys do you have

[obsidian wyvern]

2 i think

[fickle drift]

Well at least you have one that’s legitimate

[hasty zinc]

maybe

[vapid siren]

same i think i have only 2, and a good many missed ones

[jaunty yoke]

Why doesn't Xcloud support 120 fps?

[hasty zinc]

inb4 the other quigley clip is even worse

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah 2

[midnight mica]

Just shoot a warthog for more that’s how I got mine

[jaunty yoke]

Yesterday I was playing with a friend who got a new PC and says he was playing Infinite at 240 fps

[obsidian wyvern]

the other quigley was from like the november infinite released, i doubt i have it

[vapid siren]

behold pain https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/555162271073173515/1122505229729005688/Ranked_QuigleyFail_SlowMo.mp4

[jaunty yoke]

What's with the slow mo

[vapid siren]

because i slowed it down

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[vapid siren]

really let it sink in

[midnight mica]

“Can’t you feel the silence”

[vapid siren]

also cause the clip would be incredibly fast and hard to make out if i went full bore

[hasty zinc]

4x speed plz

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah the farthest clip i have atm is 2022

[elder arch]

anyone else crashing when launching non modded halo mcc or is it just me?

[gentle bronze]

Is there a way to turn off the new content?

[jaunty yoke]

Did you complete the academy obstacle course in less than 25 seconds?

[midnight mica]

My most recent one is just me pushing people off the map

[bronze breach]

🤦‍♂️

[jaunty yoke]

Pro tip: using the repulsor on a Wraith's shot kills the pilot without causing major damage to the Wraith

[hasty zinc]

Major Damage

[midnight mica]

Correction my recent clip is me panicking and then clutching while at 300 ms

[icy mural]

hey there i bought halo camaign but it won't install does anyone know a fix

[midnight mica]

O yeah I got one clip where I shot a rocket out of a shotgun lol

[midnight mica]

You can use #1075989764026675210 too

[icy mural]

[midnight mica]

It’s Thursday tho

[jade gust]

Not yet in the US

Unless Texas has suddenly shifted to a different part of the world while I'm here

[midnight mica]

Yeah we moved it Wednesday now it’s just in front of the uk

[ancient girder]

Ping still at 500ms+ for everyone?

[midnight mica]

Wednesday morning it was yeah 300 ms

[ancient girder]

Has it been fixed, do you know?

[midnight mica]

“Unstable latency” just like my sanity

[midnight mica]

It’s on and off

[vapid siren]

not in the only part of the world that matters

[fickle drift]

It’s Thursday

I’m sorry you guys are a thing of the past

[ancient girder]

Appreciate it!

[midnight mica]

i have an immense need to go from ivy out middle through your connector like a speed demon

[midnight mica]

Far out dude wow

[obsidian wyvern]

you think they made the word bed based on that?

[hasty zinc]

they made their bed, now they have to lie in it

[vapid siren]

i have been reminded when i had to yell at favyn over CS actually having a sprint mechanic

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/953139598979117096/1126527443310739466/goforajog.mp4

[obsidian wyvern]

idk what to think of favyn

[vapid siren]

given brother was adamant that CS doesnt have sprint and therefore halo shouldnt either i about lost it

[obsidian wyvern]

i guess at least he expands on his points whenever hes negatqive, its not just

this sucks its bad its horrible 343 why

[midnight mica]

Fun fact: I sleep with a pair of scissors for no reason at all

[obsidian wyvern]

bruh

[vapid siren]

knife running in cs is literally sprint just without an animation

[hearty flame]

Halo should remove vehicles because CS doesn't have vehicles

[hasty zinc]

remove spartans since CS doesn't have spartans

[timber charm]

peak halo movement was h5

[obsidian wyvern]

all weapons should insta kill if its a headshot ofc

[hearty flame]

Remove good gameplay CS doesn't have that

[timber charm]

infinite is gud too tho ngl

but not peak

[vapid siren]

@lucid bramble wake up we're talking about the CS not having sprint thing

all hail the EU global god

[obsidian wyvern]

thought that was waffle for a second

[hearty flame]

Can't Prayge, not Inheritor yet

[vapid siren]

dude garf is terrifying ive seen his stats and some clips

[midnight mica]

Valve actually copied halo did you know that

[hearty flame]

Valve went "Right click > Copy > Paste > Rename" when Halo CE came out and that's how they made CS a year before CE came out

[timber charm]

halo shud copy valve (l4d2 wit covies)

[midnight mica]

Yeah exactly

[hearty flame]

Imagine supported PvE gameplay in a live Halo game, what a dream MCC just knocked on my door and wants a word

[midnight mica]

Then they added a sprint button called it half life

[midnight mica]

G-man is just arby

[vapid siren]

look at his back

33-13 what a hero

[timber charm]

is cs2 out officially yet?

[hearty flame]

No

[vapid siren]

no thats why some folks are preparing

[midnight mica]

They need to get the emotes ready first

[hearty flame]

Well first they gotta ship Portal 2, and then they gotta ship DOTA 2

[cedar turret]

valve should buck the trend. Go directly to counterstike 3

Hi guys

[midnight mica]

Gabe killed the chat

[carmine sun]

and just like that, Social Slayer is nothing but a memory... thanks 343

[midnight mica]

Man i was reading that

[carmine sun]

You do not feel that way, you are having fun playing this game, you like all of the game modes, you will buy more skins, you do not wish the game was like the older Halo games, the new games is more fun, buy skins

[midnight mica]

Money like it is what it is

It’s a buisness

[winter flame]

95% of console and PC players would play exactly the same on either platform. 300fps+ isn’t gonna make you a pro. Kbm and controller is pretty balance in infinite unlike other fps

[midnight mica]

True it is actually fair

[winter flame]

so the devs thought it would be good to increase the playlist population and let friends play together?

[queen remnant]

No Recon that's illegal

Fun? In this server?

[winter flame]

So why does every single professional halo player use controller?

[midnight mica]

Then I must be the best controlll player in the world because I’m always top of the leader bored

[untold epoch]

Since I gotta get sapien and all sorts of other stuff running to see this hidden content is there any public tutorials in the halo discord?

[queen remnant]

Even a lot of people from PC use controller

[amber mirage]

When was the last time you watched a Halo tournament?

Explains a lot

[queen remnant]

It checks out

[amber mirage]

Watch HCS

[midnight mica]

Yeah ranked is where the gameplay is most balanced between teams tbh

[amber mirage]

Then come back and say if controller or KBM is the dominant control scheme among pro players

[midnight mica]

Keyboard or not

[amber mirage]

Care to back up that "objective superiority" with objective stats?

[midnight mica]

They don’t cod just has an awful assistant mechanic

[amber mirage]

That's not a stat

[midnight mica]

That’s cod not halo

[winter flame]

Not a single HCS comp only allows controller. 343 added kbm aim friction to HELP kbm come closer to competing with controller

[midnight mica]

All of it it’s horrible controls can just lock onto people

It’s really not like I said I must be the best player in the world then if the pros can’t even do as well as me aginst pc

[amber mirage]

I would say Diamond in ranked is another world compared to whatever skill level you may be playing at.

[carmine sun]

The mnk hill is a weak one to die on, the real reason this game did so poorly, at least imo, is because they don't allow us to pick the exact game mode we want to play, most of the time we have to hope we get what we want via RNG, if this game launched with the MCC playlist system, I bet it would have done way better, but I could be wrong...

[queen remnant]

That's explains a lot

[midnight mica]

Exactly at least have a good argument not take an argument from games with bad assistance

[amber mirage]

It's easier to track moving targets on a controller due to the nature of aim assist on a controller.

[carmine sun]

I actually hard disagree on that, I like a lot of the Infinite maps, I just hate feeling forced to play CTF, Oddball, etc... also the core game/gunplay is really solid too, imo

[fickle drift]

idk bout yall but whether i use mouse, keyboard, controller and whatnot i am absolute garbage at every multiplayer game 💀

[winter flame]

Honestly if you set aside your cognitive dissonance for 5 seconds and do some reading about kbm in halo infinite you would realise it’s not comparable to other fps games. Pros can use kbm in HCS and they don’t. Truth is you don’t wanna hear it. You’re not losing 1v1s because people are on PC. You’re losing them because you’re outplayed.

[amber mirage]

Outside of snipers, you aren't winning fights with flicks in Halo since it takes over a second to kill targets. In that second, targets are strafing and require you to adjust your aim.

[winter flame]

Even if they are by what you’re saying they would be getting stomped by new players using KBM

Plenty of aspiring pro players will switch games. If infinite was easy to pro level with kbm there would be players doing it

[midnight mica]

Wrong I flick with the sniper

[winter flame]

Halo isn’t even that complicated game

[midnight mica]

And I’m a beast with it

[winter flame]

It’s probably one of the easier games for pros from other gamers to switch to

But they don’t hahaha

[carmine sun]

What is the point of having Team Slayer AND Ranked Slayer? It would make sense if Team Slayer was only assault rifle loadouts, but as is, it's basically the same thing... to keep that over Social Slayer is such a massive L

[winter flame]

The pros are playing against kbm players in ranked all the time

[midnight mica]

Ah yes because pros have never faked content before it’s not like I can check the states o wait I can

[vapid siren]

i mean yeah

hold on lemme dig up the stats

[winter flame]

Yeah pros aren’t good, makes sense

[queen remnant]

Skill issue from the pros

[vapid siren]

spot when aim assist got added to the game for keyboard players like me

i wonder when

[winter flame]

There’s very easy money for high level kbm fps gamers if they switch over to halo by your logic. Hmmmm wonder why they isn’t happening

[vapid siren]

the only real time keyboard players get to shine is when aim assist range is exceeded or irrelevant such as when noscoping with the S7 Sniper

beyond that sticks have advantage due to higher aim assist values

[dreamy stirrup]

You haven’t watched any. How would you know?

[vapid siren]

[midnight mica]

You know your wrong when Sam joins in

[vapid siren]

someone doesnt understand the assignment

aim assist is a huge issue in modern comp games that have cross input

[dreamy stirrup]

Anyway the summary

[obsidian wyvern]

lol guess the outcome

[vapid siren]

50-15

[carmine sun]

🥲 Guardian

[obsidian wyvern]

fyi i suck at the game

[queen remnant]

That's a good dog

[midnight mica]

Sounds like a biased developed from ego (that each player thinks one is at an advantage)

[dreamy stirrup]

He wants more fetch

[vapid siren]

aim assist increases accuracy which is the consistency of hits

which also increases the consistency of precise shots (snipes/headshots)

it means a lot

[winter flame]

I feel like at this point he probably knows he’s wrong but he’s just dug himself too deep to admit it

[obsidian wyvern]

big egos <<<<<<<<<<<

[queen remnant]

Simply skill issue

[midnight mica]

It’s like when people blame the “lag”

[carmine sun]

Anyone got some stats on how many people played Social Slayer compared to Ranked back in the Halo 3 days? 🤔

[vapid siren]

well i guess there was a 15 in there then if its a by 15 win

[dreamy stirrup]

He also wants more fetch but won’t bring it to me

[cedar turret]

Sounds like mine

[dreamy stirrup]

No take, only throw

[obsidian wyvern]

😮
1679208859473178660

[midnight mica]

Actually walking is better lol

[cedar turret]

Running around with a purple tennis ball with no understanding of why I can’t throw it while she holds it in her mouth

[obsidian wyvern]

that wasnt supposed tohappen

[dreamy stirrup]

The last one is napping

[midnight mica]

Running wears down the joints

[carmine sun]

Is it at least true that you guys are thinking about adding multi team back in? 🥺

[obsidian wyvern]

https://vxtwitter.com/milkwayfps/status/1679208859473178660

[vapid siren]

So where's keyboard warriors taking it home at Arlington

[cedar turret]

Dude chill

[dreamy stirrup]

Can we move on? He isn’t interested in actual discussion

[queen remnant]

They never changed the devs?

[dreamy stirrup]

I tried to be subtle

[vapid siren]

i choose violence

[queen remnant]

343 is here to stay lol

[carmine sun]

@sam If I send you my pinky finger, can I have Social Slayer back? 🥺

[cedar turret]

Ferocious

[dreamy stirrup]

She is so feisty lol

[cedar turret]

Manages to run off the 40 pound beagle too

[dreamy stirrup]

Poor beagle lol

[carmine sun]

Well... enjoy the doggos, I'm sure Halo will be fine 😩

[dreamy stirrup]

He’s very persistent

[queen remnant]

No?

[vapid siren]

brother i think you hit your head on something

[midnight mica]

Ok so active is playing aginst pros and the second comment points out why he’s better

[amber mirage]

Misinformed guy claims everyone else is misinformed

[vapid siren]

my entire thing is handling halo news

[midnight mica]

The lizards man

[cedar turret]

One more time. Chill.

[queen remnant]

Where is the command that shows 343 is still doing Halo image

[vapid siren]

i think ik just a few things

so like

shut up

[obsidian wyvern]

!halo

[queen remnant]

This is just so funny

[obsidian wyvern]

damn it i did it wrong again

[queen remnant]

There you go

Anyways, 343 is still developing halo games
Next time don't believe in false rumours

[obsidian wyvern]

i always have a 2 minute debate with myself as to whether its halo or343 and i always get it wrong

[midnight mica]

Love you Iratus

[calm fiber]

and I will crush you last beneath the boot of the banished

[obsidian wyvern]

discord letting dozen down

[amber mirage]

Why do the Banished only have a single boot?

[midnight mica]

You too bby but you gotta catch me first

[obsidian wyvern]

hall of shame

[near tree]

On which subreddit?

[queen remnant]

I think injector took the L and never talked

[obsidian wyvern]

(i laughed)

[cedar turret]

https://tenor.com/view/movingroght-along-movingrightalong-muppets-anyway-gif-17971671

[queen remnant]

I agree with this now

[midnight mica]

Dude had Sam proving him wrong that’s the biggest L you can take here

[fickle drift]

Does anyone knows why spiltscreen campaign for Halo infinite is not allowed

[stark marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-want-peace-i-want-problems-always-choose-violence-no-peace-problems-gif-24342946

[fickle drift]

I’ve found things that say it’s not supported

[obsidian wyvern]

it isnt supported

idk what else to say

[midnight mica]

It got cut for Mp

[obsidian wyvern]

thats always been a thing btw

[queen remnant]

That's a normal thing to do in the industry

[amber mirage]

There have been outside companies working on Halo since Halo 2

[queen remnant]

Even Bungie did it with outsourcing stuff

It's not a new thing

[carmine sun]

😭 don't say the B word

[vapid siren]

[cedar turret]

You've all been told to move on.

[stark marsh]

Can anyone answer me on one thing? Why can't we have many playlists without them being removed and replaced?

[deep flare]

woo. been waiting

[vapid siren]

There are many words I wish to use but cannot due to the rules of this server to express my frustration

[amber mirage]

Short answer: Matchmaking health

[obsidian wyvern]

there used to be ui limitations, dk what the answer is now

[fickle drift]

Population concerns and lack of Match Composer to compensate

[midnight mica]

It’s to help keep them populated

[amber mirage]

Too many playlists splits the population up, causing more unbalanced matches and longer wait times.

[vapid siren]

https://youtu.be/MgffSUwTeKw

[near tree]

I think it's to keep playlists populated, and allows them to rotate things to keep things fresh

[queen remnant]

If that playlist is not populated, then why having them
The solution basically is rotating them while making permanent the most popular ones

[carmine sun]

Social Slayer wasn't popular?

I never waited more than like 20 seconds

[queen remnant]

If it's rotated then most likely is not that popular for long term

[misty spindle]

I kinda wished Certain Affinity would be put in charge tbh

[stark marsh]

Interesting

[queen remnant]

Certain Affinity is mostly a support studio

[obsidian wyvern]

things havent changed since the last time you were here huh h8

[queen remnant]

Oh hey H8, long time no see

[misty spindle]

lemme rephrase. I want Max Hoberman to make the main decisions on the game style

[stark marsh]

Isn't it better to give the players the freedom to choose then?

[vapid siren]

[queen remnant]

And too have most of them underpopulated like MCC does?

[obsidian wyvern]

mcc match composer >

[midnight mica]

Technically we do the more popular game modes get put up and the less popular get put down

[queen remnant]

And then complaining why those playlists are taking so long to get it

[stark marsh]

I didn't know social was that unpopular. That's a bummer. The whole playlist with the last update was great. Fun game modes :/

[obsidian wyvern]

social was popular, it was just rotated out

which sucks

[misty spindle]

I don't like the whole rotation thing tbh

[midnight mica]

Yeah sometimes they get replaced for new ones

[queen remnant]

They should rotate swat

[obsidian wyvern]

i understand it to a degree, i dont like it at all

[obsidian wyvern]

this lol

[plain lagoon]

I love the backward logic of they take playlists down because they don’t care

If they didn’t care, they’d just leave up like 30 playlists and half of them would be completely dead

[midnight mica]

Unless more people play it’s all we got

[fickle drift]

Deja Vu all over again

[misty spindle]

I doubt their "UI" can even handle 30 playlists lol

[vapid siren]

shout out to last spartan standing for having less than 1% of the population play it

[plain lagoon]

Cough cough halo 3

[winter flame]

I think the point is that if there was a ton of playlists you might be waiting much longer then 20 seconds to find social slayer. People like social slayer, but they might also like other playlists and thus the population would be diluted and overall experience degraded. Social slayer will be back

[midnight mica]

Also if that was the case “battle royal” would still be there lol

[vapid siren]

hot take but 20s queue times are honestly kinda fine

[obsidian wyvern]

20 seconds? dead game

[queen remnant]

Hawkner if I don't get a game in 1 second then it's dead

[vapid siren]

idk im kinda cool with queue times up to 2 minutes tbh

[cedar turret]

Not sure how you'd notice 20 seconds.

[vapid siren]

even 5 minutes is fine with me if its like ranked

[misty spindle]

5 minutes seems long tbh

[cedar turret]

By the time you take a drink you

[obsidian wyvern]

anything more than 2 minutes is too much

[cedar turret]

're back in the match.

[vapid siren]

tbf im used to Siege and CS where matches are like a half hour long each time

[plain lagoon]

Hot take, several minutes is better if it means games are super close I.E overwatch

[misty spindle]

takes 30 seconds to load into Battlebit so I'd expect Halo to not be more than 2 minutes unless its like 3 AM lol

[obsidian wyvern]

overwatch took seconds for me

[vapid siren]

like halo matches themselves are 5-15 minutes so i understand the ratio of time searching/playing is gonna differ

[obsidian wyvern]

well overwatch 2

[plain lagoon]

Found the gold

Self exposed

[obsidian wyvern]

not wrong lol

[carmine sun]

lookwarm take, at best: Social Slayer would never get into the 2min territory for wait time

EVER

[vapid siren]

dude i went from silver to grandmaster in a single season and i never wanna do that again

[midnight mica]

Trust me I noticed every little detail like that one pixel on the br that’s not the correct shade by like 1 hex code

[void magnet]

There’s an art to curating playlists and it’s something that could use improvement in both MCC and Infinite

[winter flame]

Yah quality over quantity

[dreamy stirrup]

who'd you get to GM with?

[carmine sun]

MCC playlist system is basically perfect, wtf u on about?

[fickle drift]

Aye MCC could do with a playlist culling ngl

[misty spindle]

I like the MCC playlist tbh

[vapid siren]

this was like the first few seasons of the first game

i dont remember who and it was on xbox

[void magnet]

Try queuing for an FFA game at higher ranks

[misty spindle]

the only reason I feel the MCC Playlist is "dead" is because you got like 10 playlists across 4-5 different games

[vapid siren]

i was just a mercy/ana main that had the most godly calls and predicts

[carmine sun]

Fair enough, try queuing for a Social Slayer match tho... I bet it happens in seconds

[fickle drift]

I did a count a while back and there’s something like 180 playlists in MCC If you break it down by title and category

[obsidian wyvern]

oh i only had this much play time lol

[vapid siren]

then i went back to Siege where controller has no aim assist because im not a coward like 99% of halo fans

[hasty zinc]

hey guys, what did I miss

[vapid siren]

[void magnet]

I literally play Infinite whenever an FFA playlist is in rotation because I barely ever match into FFA in MCC

[cedar turret]

your shots

[hasty zinc]

[obsidian wyvern]

nothing new

[winter flame]

A reddit moment

[midnight mica]

Hay my doctor told me to stay away from harm ok

[vapid siren]

but yeah Sam idk cause I did a lot of solo queue and would change groups as I climbed the ranks

[dreamy stirrup]

makes sense

[obsidian wyvern]

i could get to GM as a mercy in one season 😤

[plain lagoon]

I just top frag as orisa and call it a day

[carmine sun]

Social Slayer(both regular and big team), and Heavies are always fast af to lead into in MCC... probably a good idea to not make those dedicated playlists in Infinite, Halo players clearly don't like it 😉

[cedar turret]

They made grandmother a rank?

[midnight mica]

Yeah support takes no skill you just heal

[misty spindle]

I just don't see the need to have a separate playlist for every single game variant

[void magnet]

It is pretty quick, I definitely prefer the MCC match composer but it only truly shines with a massive population which MCC doesn’t have sadly

[carmine sun]

who tf said every single game mode variant? Social Slayer is a huge part of Halo... or did we all just forget that?

[vapid siren]

[misty spindle]

for 5 games that are more than a decade old, I'd say it gets a good playerbase

[vapid siren]

very easy thing to say when you arent matrix dodging 30 abilities and are also the IGL for the team

[midnight mica]

One word: WINTON

[vapid siren]

also i would unironically go battle mercy half the time lmao

[void magnet]

It is, don’t get me wrong. There are invariably some empty playlists however, I’d only play MCC if I could

[fickle drift]

Good thing about a composer is that it can compensate for lower population by letting you search multiple playlists at once.
MCC just has a metric ton of playlists

[cedar turret]

You know how many playlists I've heard that about all of them. Even bro slayer. I get you liked this one, but wait a couple weeks and it'll come round again and in the meantime there are new btb map remakes to play.

[dreamy stirrup]

her pistol is solid

[vapid siren]

its terrifying

[misty spindle]

yeah the fact that u can search MULTIPLE PLAYLISTS in MCC is genius

[vapid siren]

i would go pistol only mercy when i ran socials iirc

[misty spindle]

you want to play Infection, Slayer, or FFA? well you can search for all 3 at once!

[fickle drift]

Well not really since they break them by team / lobby size but yeah

[misty spindle]

you can literally pick individual playlists as long as it is within a category. Which I think its just 3 "Categories" before playlists which is 4v4, BTB, and I think one other thing?

[void magnet]

This is true, but I think having a selector for everything (having FFA and the team-based matches included) would be good. Even if it’s rare I’d always want to queue for FFA alongside 4v4 for example

[misty spindle]

isn't it just FFA, 4v4, and BTB the only options for MCC for categories? or am I missing something? "Custom"?

[obsidian wyvern]

you can get
1v1
2v2
4v4
ffa
8v8

[misty spindle]

I still think 1v1 is a dumb thing to add

[obsidian wyvern]

wait i cant remember if 1v1 is a thing in mcc

[misty spindle]

it was a thing I remember now

[void magnet]

And 12 player infection

[obsidian wyvern]

and multi team?

[void magnet]

It is

[misty spindle]

I don't think there was a multi-team option

[obsidian wyvern]

that goes under ffa i think

[fickle drift]

It makes sense to break them down that way tbf

Also lol Rev I wish

[void magnet]

I think it’s on rotation? Don’t remember

[void magnet]

It does not

[misty spindle]

2v2, 4v4, FFA, BTB would be nice categories for Infinite (Or Halo 7)

[obsidian wyvern]

to the multi team?

[tender pollen]

how do i change my background on mcc to the new update backgrounds?

[misty spindle]

which reminds me.... how the hell is Multi-Team not in Infinite 😦

[carmine sun]

IKR

[misty spindle]

4v4v4v4 was chaotic fun in Reach and now its just.... gone lol

[carmine sun]

2v2v2v2 FTW!!!!

[fickle drift]

Aye, Multi-Team has been neglected since Reach, arguably H4

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

[winter flame]

Something like a match composer is potentially coming to infinite down the line. I think sketch said it’s in early stages in one of the Spartan chatters.

My idea would just be meta playlists that can search multiple playlists and then group all the playlists into half a dozen meta playlists

[obsidian wyvern]

i only played multi team in halo 5 ngl

[midnight mica]

Why don’t we just make every mode btb yapyap event then everyone will be happy

[void magnet]

There’s only one “modded” background included in the new update, but to change them you go to settings - video

[queen remnant]

Still waiting for vip btw

[void magnet]

You have to add more yourself

[obsidian wyvern]

vip my beloved

[vapid siren]

it'll likely just be multi-queueing the existing playlists at once

[obsidian wyvern]

we were told it was coming in season 4 😔

[dreamy stirrup]

Reach was never 4v4v4v4

[fickle drift]

Oh if H5 had multi-team that’s cool, missed that one

[tender pollen]

they need to update the mcc main menu music

[void magnet]

Queue all button ftw

[dreamy stirrup]

Reach was squads of 3.

[midnight mica]

Can’t wait to see the milk meme on there

[queen remnant]

I remember they basically said no vip for season 4 and I'm so sad

[obsidian wyvern]

wasnt it 3 teams of 3

[queen remnant]

We got midfection over vip 😔

[dreamy stirrup]

4x3

[misty spindle]

there was def a 4x team variant

[dreamy stirrup]

not in Reach.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh, was halo 5 3 of 3

[fickle drift]

Rocket Hog Race my beloved

[dreamy stirrup]

Halo 5 was 4x3 as well

[obsidian wyvern]

that mode was always so confusing to me

[dreamy stirrup]

red, blue, green, yellow

[misty spindle]

looks like Reach had 3v3v3v3 and 2v2v2v2v2v2

[obsidian wyvern]

i forgot red LOL

[elfin glacier]

You guys don't know true pain until you've tried (re)crimping Ethernet cables

[void magnet]

But anyway have you guys tried the new firefight with Elites v Humans? Super friggen cool

[misty spindle]

just saw 2 different YT videos from 12 years ago and theres 1x thats 6x teams of 2 and 4x teams of 3

[dreamy stirrup]

6x2 was very quickly swapped to 4x3

it was not a regular thing

[misty spindle]

I feel both modes would be fun chaos and shouldn't cause any issues if you were to make em part of the same playlist

[obsidian wyvern]

https://twitter.com/MaxHoberman/status/1679280310876508160

Max Hoberman (@MaxHoberman)

Seeing these old Halo multiplayer maps being resurrected makes me want someone to dredge up Mofocross. It was a Warthog v Ghost race map, with a road that looped around the perimeter of an island. I made it using the terrain editor, way back in Chicago ... I think in 1999.

Twitter · Jul 13, 2023, 12:03 AM

never heard or seen this

[misty spindle]

50% chance of playing 2x teams of 8 or 50% chance of playing 4x teams of 4. Sounds like that'd be a lot of fun chaos for a casual party playlist

[winter flame]

There’s a knack to untwisting the cables and getting them to go into the plugs easily. Takes so much practice and I still forget because I do it so rarely

[midnight mica]

Honestly I can’t wait to have btb with ai like a flash point game mode

[dreamy stirrup]

if i'm playing with 2 friends i don't want to be put on a random squad.

so that's not really a great solution.

[steady jolt]

I've heard of this, would be cool if it was still in a build somewhere

[misty spindle]

still I find it odd that 343 hasn't added in Multi Team for Infinite, is it just another UI Limitation due to the outlines?

[elfin glacier]

I just gave up halfway and started using the unnecessarily long Ethernet cables in inventory

[tribal fiber]

Master "John 117" Chief

[elfin glacier]

Because we don't have shorter ones

[vapid siren]

the treasure hunt begins

[obsidian wyvern]

i cant find any pictures on it 😔

[misty spindle]

I mean im being serious, even if multi team were added to Infinite I'd not want all my enemies to be the color "Yellow" when I want to target the team in the lead lol

[midnight mica]

I’m gonna ship you a box of 1inch cables

[void magnet]

Uh oh. Outline conversation incoming…

[winter flame]

Understandable. I feel like there’s gotta be some easy way to get the wires into the plugs, maybe there’s a tool for it

[misty spindle]

im fine with outlines, but if multi team is gonna be added wouldn't you want the ability to pick colors for teams 1-8

[midnight mica]

You can in settings team 3 and 4

[void magnet]

Yea that would be cool, but just don’t see it changing to that. IIRC LSS was different “teams” too

[misty spindle]

is that a customs setting? I don't recall seeing that in my settings

[obsidian wyvern]

it was just ffa

[vapid siren]

anyways not only did MCC update, but so did TF2: https://twitter.com/SoundSmithTF2/status/1679281041872240642?s=20

SoundSmith (@SoundSmithTF2)

They released a map where you feed fish to this dude
I changed my mind this update rules

Twitter · Jul 13, 2023, 12:06 AM

[obsidian wyvern]

and there are multiple team names, but you cant give them different outlines

[misty spindle]

I knew about the team names but not different outlines

[midnight mica]

No its for the spectating cams

[misty spindle]

thats just for casters then lol

[obsidian wyvern]

no you can give players different teams

theres loads

[queen remnant]

You can also disable outlines too in customs right

[midnight mica]

Yeah but it takes like two tweaks to add team 5 6 7 8

[misty spindle]

I had a feeling if it was that easy to do then 343 would probably do that by now tbh

[midnight mica]

It’s probably not a priority

[misty spindle]

yeah but all the enemy teams are "red"

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[obsidian wyvern]

yes but my point also was that they have different teams

[steady jolt]

Oh there very likely won't be. Max mentioned it either in a tweet or a podcast, I remember hearing about it somewhere. Maybe it was Bravo's podcast

[misty spindle]

thats been in for a while thanks to forge nodes no?

[obsidian wyvern]

[queen remnant]

They should come to my house, play the matches here

[midnight mica]

No come to Cardiff London is stinky

[winter flame]

It’s actually cheaper for me to fly to Berlin then get the train to London… and I live in England

[obsidian wyvern]

wjhat

[winter flame]

I wish I was joking

[obsidian wyvern]

fly to london

[elfin glacier]

Ingerland

I went to Leeds once

[midnight mica]

Fun fact: London is Roman

[obsidian wyvern]

why leeds lol

[elfin glacier]

Idk

[carmine fractal]

London is stab town

[steady jolt]

Leeds is nice, I have family there and in York

[midnight mica]

Anglo hell hole but definitely no biased from the welsh guy

[obsidian wyvern]

honestly idk what there is to do in london here

im supposed to be going out with friends on saturday to the city but we still havent planned what to do because we dk what there is to do here

[winter flame]

Was. Good old Londinium

[obsidian wyvern]

and for pretty much all of you here, why are you still awake lol

[steady jolt]

British Museum or the Science Museum

[midnight mica]

Back before our Celtic girl slaughtered them all

[vapid siren]

bruh do you really not remember the "barvo plz" memes

[obsidian wyvern]

i swear ive been there at least 15 times lol

[vapid siren]

barvioli barvioli

[obsidian wyvern]

i didnt really interact with the halo community till 2020

[faint mantle]

I didn't know that until I played a Sherlock Holmes game, I felt bamboozled

[steady jolt]

[carmine fractal]

Bah humbug

[midnight mica]

Did you also know England is actually mostly welsh land

Also welsh ist our name

[carmine fractal]

I don't think many people care about England tbh lol everyone I've talked to doesn't really give an f

Always murica or other places

[midnight mica]

It’s because they keep saying wa’tha

It’s water god dammit

[carmine fractal]

Bo'ou'u'wo'a?

[winter flame]

Brythonic land really and before the Britons there was prehistoric people. It’s invasion and displacement going back many thousands of years

[midnight mica]

Britonic is an Anglo word

[obsidian wyvern]

its 130am and we're discussing history

[winter flame]

So is Welsh

[midnight mica]

Nobody actually knows where the welsh come from we just guess

[midnight mica]

Yeah it means foreigner

[winter flame]

Well everyone on Britain either sailed across or crossed the land bridge

So it’s safe to say we all came from the mainland

[midnight mica]

I mean if we going that far then we all where once African

Man I wish we could go back to monkey

[winter flame]

I know but you say nobody knows where the Welsh/Britons came from like there’s many alternatives. Probably crossed the channel or land bridge and separated from mainland celts

[midnight mica]

Evolution

[obsidian wyvern]

https://vxtwitter.com/MKBHD/status/1679203263093121025

[faint mantle]

I did not, I should study european history more

[midnight mica]

But that’s the thing the welsh Irish and Scot’s where already here before the anglo nations attacked

[obsidian wyvern]

they spawned there my guy

[winter flame]

English people by DNA are a mix of Germanic and Welsh/Brittonic so it’s not like we stole all their land lol. We assimilated

[midnight mica]

Yeah yeah like you didn’t steal America

[winter flame]

I most likely have Brittonic ancestry

teach me Welsh

[midnight mica]

Rydw yn hoffi halo achos mae hwyl

[winter flame]

Nevermind looks too difficult 😄

[midnight mica]

That’s (I like halo because it’s fun)

[winter flame]

I do actually hope the Welsh language keeps going strong though

[midnight mica]

Trust me I’ve been getting nos da trending

People just like nos da insted of good night sounds better

[fickle drift]

im asking is there any mcc support tickets i can fill out for a problem thats recurring

[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

[winter flame]

Scotland is much more complex then that. They got invaded by the Gaels around the same time as the Anglo Saxons incased

Invaded*

[midnight mica]

Well yeah that’s the problem a lot of history was lost so we most go off stories and language

[winter flame]

There’s a guy who does Scottish history videos who’s super informative

Looks at different viewpoints and such

[midnight mica]

I know someone like that but he does each “tribe”

[winter flame]

https://youtube.com/@ScotlandHistoryTours

[midnight mica]

Yeah I love the history

I revise a modern druid belief personally

[winter flame]

I feel like we’re getting a much better understanding of the history of the people and languages of these islands as of recent

[midnight mica]

We are but sadly a lot of it will be lost forever because of the wars

[winter flame]

Feels like there’s a lot less contention over one theory vs another these days

Which is helpful for people learning

[midnight mica]

Very lol

I feel sorry when I info dump lol

[winter flame]

Lol I get u

[midnight mica]

We take our pride very seriously

[winter flame]

It’s pretty understandable when u have a history of being oppressed as a nation

[midnight mica]

It’s nice to hear someone acknowledge it outside of my country tbh thank you

[winter flame]

No worries, I wish there was more understanding of that here honestly

[dim zenith]

Yo

[worldly badger]

I want to enjoy ranked but the amount of 4stacks this season in a team based game vs full solos

it was kinda bad in season 3 but season 4 its almost every second game

[dim zenith]

I have a hot take

[midnight mica]

Anyway I gotta sleep but it was nice chatting

[winter flame]

Likewise man good night

[midnight mica]

Nos da

[dim zenith]

I think every halo should have a firefight

[worldly badger]

isnt firefight season 5s theme

[dim zenith]

I don’t think so

But I wish halo 4 and 2 had a firefight

[fickle drift]

So this 8 player firefight is only in custom games?

[dim zenith]

I think it’s for public too

[fickle drift]

It’s not in the match composer like the 2 and 4 player ones unless I’m blind

That’s so dumb

[winter flame]

You can join 8 player ff in the CGB

[bronze bronze]

8 player co op odst on lost platoon cures my depression

[fickle drift]

Yeah no I want to play 8 player but get xp like normal firefight

[winter flame]

Honestly 8 player FF in matchmaking wouldn’t have a strong enough population long term

[dim zenith]

You get do for custom

Xp*

[fickle drift]

Firefight for me is dead anyways so I don’t see the issue here

[dim zenith]

As long as it’s normal or above on custom

[fickle drift]

Oh really

[dim zenith]

Yea

[winter flame]

4 player FF is searchable at peak time in Europe

[fickle drift]

What’s the payout

[dim zenith]

I dunno depends on how long you survive

[fickle drift]

EU is usually when I’m asleep and also unplayable due to the high ping

[winter flame]

You’re best playing West US probably

[fickle drift]

Ofc

[winter flame]

So just don’t play too late when the Americans are sleeping 😄

[worldly badger]

everyone has different hours they can game

[fickle drift]

Most of the weekdays I don’t get home until like 6pm so yeah

I’m not catering my times for them but unfortunately that means I either get the cracked players or nobody lmao

[winter flame]

Gotta schedule ur weekend plans around halo time ig

[fickle drift]

I do

[winter flame]

I do that to some extend for infinite ranked

Extent*

[fickle drift]

nicee just completed CE, absolutely loved it

[fickle drift]

What happens if you leave

Do you get any xp?

[dusky sage]

What difficulty?

[fickle drift]

legendary, i usually pick the hardest difficulties for games and they’re not really that much of a challenge for me but this was something else

i will probably do heroic for halo 2 though

[dusky sage]

When I was doing my run for Helioskrill, I did halo 2 first and Halo: CE last.

[void magnet]

I love H2 legendary as BS as it is

[winter flame]

The way you get the hang of CE legendary and it gets easier? That’s not so much the case with 2

[dim zenith]

Yes but it’s slim

[dusky sage]

Ngl, Halo 2 on legendary wasn't all that bad.

[fickle drift]

So you have to complete it

[fickle drift]

i have no clue what an helioskrill is tbh

[dim zenith]

Basically

[obsidian wyvern]

helm3t

[fickle drift]

Do you get more xp based on match length? Difficulty?

[dusky sage]

A used-to-be hard-to-get armor set in Halo 5.

[winter flame]

Imo CE is peak halo legendary and 2 just has some absolutely nonsense

[dim zenith]

Both

[fickle drift]

ohh, gotcha

[dusky sage]

It basically resembles Arbiter's armor.

What posessed me to call myself "Arbiter's Special Little UwU?

[obsidian wyvern]

ah yes no news

[fickle drift]

Hm, I wonder if you can change it to have invincibility for really long rounds on legendary

[fickle drift]

just checked it out, looks pretty cool tbh

[dusky sage]

Sheeple should not be word.

[elfin glacier]

Me when there are multiple blogposts about the update since last week

[dim zenith]

Idk

[iron shale]

Where do I go to post forge bugs? I have a bug here that’s messing up a whole bunch of stuff up and it’s annoying.

[obsidian wyvern]

also if u guys want the mcc drop, you have to start watching before :00 in 2 mins

[dusky sage]

I think, the over-all easiest title was ODST.

[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

[elfin glacier]

If you're having trouble with forge you can ask in here

If it's a bug bug then file a ticket

[echo stump]

WE GOT CONTROLLER REMAPPING 🔥

[fickle drift]

that game where you play as a mix of marines and spartans correct?

[dusky sage]

Nope! ODSTs.

[obsidian wyvern]

theyre kinda in between

in simple terms

[echo stump]

iirc they were the best soldiers the UNSC had before the Spartan program

[dusky sage]

Still better than spartans, IMO.🙄

[dreamy stirrup]

i was so excited about this that i completely forgot to re-map my controller and kept doing the wrong thing lol

[echo stump]

it happens 😅

[obsidian wyvern]

controller mapping was pretty much at the top of my mcc wishlist

[dusky sage]

Ngl, 8-man ODST firefight is a bit chaotic.

[elfin glacier]

I W8 for the rains

[fickle drift]

Reach's maps probably fit that count more than ODST

[elfin glacier]

8 people with the GL tbh

[timid forum]

Didnt they say they fixed the backgrounds not saving

[elfin glacier]

Artillery mode

[winter flame]

I believe a dev mentioned it was fixed but in the changelog it says it happens less often

[timid forum]

Figured as much

[steady jolt]

Background video selections are less likely to be reset after closing and relaunching Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

[stark shadow]

has anyone had the issue where screen goes black when switcing to remastered graphics on halo 2 quarantine zone?

[winter flame]

For me it only happened on Xbox not PC

[silent cairn]

Is there any news about Halo Infinite firefight?

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[silent cairn]

I thought I saw something saying that they were working on it

[silent cairn]

Well that sucks

[obsidian wyvern]

nothing vonfirmed

[winter flame]

They’re working on forge AI which pretty much would let people make FF

I wouldn’t be surprised if an official mode is in the works

[obsidian pilot]

Just wondering, did they bring back halo 3 maps?

[dusky sage]

From Halo online.

[obsidian pilot]

I’m talking about infinite btw

[elfin glacier]

It would be a bad look for it to not have an official pve of some sort

[obsidian wyvern]

in ifninite yes

[winter flame]

If you mean in infinite there’s a playlist with forge remakes of some halo 3 btb maps

[obsidian pilot]

Ooooo

[winter flame]

Called squad battle

[dusky sage]

OH! I doubt it, I feel like they gave up just with community maps at this rate.

[obsidian wyvern]

they did give us halo 3 mapps*

[smoky token]

https://tenor.com/view/bellebows-tiktok-dog-funny-silly-gif-26293491

the username

[winter flame]

Literally the opposite lol, they’ve added some of the arena ones to other playlists

[elfin glacier]

Oh no it begins

Revenant time

[dusky sage]

Who?

[smoky token]

you

[elfin glacier]

Me

[dusky sage]

Hahaha!

[smoky token]

him

[elfin glacier]

I'm stuff

[steady jolt]

Infinite has added quite a few community made maps into matchmaking

[smoky token]

[dusky sage]

What? Arbiter's Special Little UwU too cringe?

[winter flame]

We don’t judge 😄

[smoky token]

[dusky sage]

Hey, judge all you want, idrc.

I made it like that for people to notice it.

[fickle drift]

The skybox of this H3 version of Lockout is pretty cool
