general-chat

[oblique reef]

yeah that's what I thought. it's not everything, but it's something. idk why it's such a major deal being able to buy everything haha

This. This right here. Quote of the day. Until someone finds proof of him swearing. 🤣

[cloud tundra]

Cause people wanted to buy what they needed for their Spartan looks

[left bone]

fact

[oblique reef]

Okay but like, tough? 🤣 I can't go back to a clothes shop and buy two year old clothes? 😉 I say that in gest. Obviously I understand it would be easier to set this up in Halo, doesn't mean it should be done 🤣

[dusty sparrow]

true

[cloud tundra]

The problem mainly is trying to compare a digital game to the real world to begin with.

[dusty sparrow]

@fickle drift thinks halo 4 makes master chief seem more human

[oblique reef]

Yeah I know, hence, said in gest haha.

[dusty sparrow]

i think halo infinite shows his more human side

especially when hes with brohammer

[cloud tundra]

Just saying cause it’s the second time someone here has stated that and I’m like “ok so….um..”

I think gatekeeping cosmetics is just unnecessary and what we would call cringe

[bronze breach]

Being human bad, being robocop on a vengeance mission good

[pulsar cobalt]

Reason why people get annoyed is because they see stuff in the customization menu that ends up never releasing throughout that season

[cloud tundra]

Nobody should care about them much right? Then we don’t need to do that

[hasty zinc]

your move, creep

[bronze breach]

Checkmate. 👍

I win

[oblique reef]

I mean, I agree, but then there are top tier games that do this, and it works.... like Fortnite for example. Doesn't make it right, but it does work

More about player retention and rewarding return play I suppose

works for some, doesn't for others

[cloud tundra]

I will say it works when it comes to people spending more money than usual on non-appealing items

Fortnite has created an entire community of rare cosmetic hunting people who will buy any item from the store that hasn’t been there for so many days

[bronze breach]

Wallet issue

[oblique reef]

I also agree, I dont care about them hahaha, ya get them, or ya dont. Used to think I needed every skin on SMITE, missed playing it for a year, realised i'd just wasted £100s on cosmetics lol

[oblique reef]

It's quite genius that tbf 🤷‍♂️

👽 Otherworldly Gaming 🛸 (@DarkHolocron)

This is the MOST unappreciated game this gen. From multiplayer to campaign, I stand by the claim that Halo Infinite is actually fantastic. It looks great, it runs great with a host of visual options, the campaign is vast and the multiplayer is a RIOT. Deserves more respect.

It feels like a good idea until that one day comes where you’re told the servers will shut down and you lose everything and you’re like the chris pratt starlord “what…” gif

[pulsar cobalt]

Halo infinite is so good

[bronze breach]

Dying is not

[pulsar cobalt]

its alright morbius i went 2-16 earlier lmao

[cloud tundra]

The campaign is good and the multiplayer gameplay no other game on the market can come near to.

[split stag]

campaign was easily 343's first W in 10 years, not sure if it was worth the $60 USD

[candid solar]

🙄

[split stag]

MP IS fun but given the choice between it and CE (20+ years ago) I'd still rather play CE

IDK doesn't scratch that itch the same way the old games do

too twitchy

[cloud tundra]

The itch could be a nostalgic itch possibly

[fickle drift]

returning to mcc since the update has been god tier im loving it again

[split stag]

I'm only 22, never played the oldies when they came out (no 360 growing up)

digsite's crash site is genuinely the most fun I've had in a halo game in 10 years lol

again IDK because it's not like H:I isn't fun (though I have some big issues with balancing and overall design philosophy but those seem to be rooted deep into 343's vision of "Halo" since they started putting out games) but something just isn't clicking with me

I can't be too old to understand the newfangle vidya games made for those new young folk since I'm literally the young folk in question

[candid solar]

Some people are just wired weird.

[bronze breach]

Omg. Another screaming kid getting on the bus

I'm a goner

[pulsar cobalt]

[split stag]

ask if he plays fortnite

get him talking for hours

[bronze breach]

Kid is like 3 or 4. I doubt it lol

[true ibex]

you'd be surprised with the age demographic of fortnite

3 or 4 is like spot on lmao

[willow kraken]

Is Squad Battle pretty good? I usually play MCC over Infinite lately but I've got the fatal error on start and need a fix

I've heard good things about Season 4 so figured I'd ask

[true ibex]

ye its worth a play

[fossil skiff]

Squad battle is awesome

[true ibex]

its the best playlist to touch the game so

plus there is an event today, not a bad time to hop on

[willow kraken]

Fair enough, was looking forward to the Digsite stuff but noticed Infinite has some stuff going on too

[true ibex]

ye, mcc bug will hopefully be fixed soonish

iirc correctly its tied to what drive u have mcc installed on

halo support said to install mcc to your c drive if possible for now

[willow kraken]

Yeah, NTFS and exFAT formats on C: drive but moving 128GB to my internal doesn't sound like fun atm 😅

Is what it is

[true ibex]

ye i dont blame u

i wouldnt either lmao

[sweet pasture]

why isnt waypoint working

i keep trying to report a player for spamming slurs in chat but its not working

every time i do it halo waypoint just says "login.halowaypoint.com can't currently handle this request."

[willow kraken]

Blame the Patriots, Snake

SOP system wanted it to happen

[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

[candid solar]

I will say

From the digsite map, I absolutely love the bolt action sniper over CE's normal sniper.

[sweet pasture]

halo waypoint doesnt let me sign in to it what do i do

[split stag]

I think the Spluger (Space Luger) might be my fav gun so far

[candid solar]

I kinda hope that shows up in Infinite as a Sidekick reskin.

[split stag]

I'd honestly prefer it as a new weapon

reskins are nice but it'd be a disservice to the weapon to use it as a reskin for something that doesn't fit the function

[willow kraken]

Big fan of the Covenant Masters

And the Heroic Knives

[split stag]

same reason why I don't want an OG magnum skin for the sidekick, they don't function similar (aside from like, the H2 one)

the excalibur energy sword in the rock rules

[willow kraken]

H5 did something like this if I'm not mistaken

[sweet pasture]

why doesnt halo waypoint let me log in??

[split stag]

because it's waypoint lol

[sweet pasture]

ok

[tight remnant]

16 minutes left!

[winter flame]

refresh the page

[sweet pasture]

it still doesnt, i had to switch browsers

it works on firefox now

[urban iron]

[urban iron]

Oh right it's one hour earlier than weekly reset.

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[tight remnant]

[pulsar cobalt]

Hope the store is good

[slender sail]

What are the playlists for the new event

[urban iron]

tenrai bonanza.

[slender sail]

I heard ranked doubles is coming back

[light pasture]

Hello

[tired wraith]

I’m curious what pve is gonna be like

[light pasture]

Same

[tired wraith]

I mean I have an idea

[light pasture]

?

[split stag]

it will be the mode of all time

[tired wraith]

But with infinites way of doing things

[tight remnant]

Why are there so many items on the store!

[light pasture]

That could be

Idk

[tired wraith]

They want the moneyh

[light pasture]

Fr tho

[tight remnant]

10 items including the bundle right now

[light pasture]

It’s never enough for them

[urban iron]

JUst got the bundle.

[light pasture]

Cool

Good job

[jaunty yoke]

If you played Infinite's campaign you can have an idea of how future pve content will be like

[fickle drift]

Hey I got a question anyone else having trobule with hit reg on infinite today?

[light pasture]

Yea

[tired wraith]

The only reason I’d spend money is to grind the old battle passes

[urban iron]

50 items

[light pasture]

Playing rn

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[fickle drift]

Hmm wierd

I was in multiplayer and everytime Its messed up

[tired wraith]

Probably gotta wait till Wi-Fi clears up or something

That’s always the issue for me

[light pasture]

Same here

[fickle drift]

Yeah I ran a speed test And I'm wierd getting 500mps+ but and 10ms. But i still have to empty like three sidekick mags into an unsheilded enemey to kill him. If he dosnt insta meele me

[tight remnant]

Dragonbark shoulders!

I mean drgonborn noble!

[obsidian wyvern]

how much is regal strike rn? 800?

[tired wraith]

I wish they had a way to earn instead of buy

[tight remnant]

??? Uh oh

I bought the dragonborn bundle but Kawari is locked still

[tired wraith]

Having to spend money for cool helmets is just dumb

I get monetization

[tight remnant]

The chest piece only actually

[obsidian wyvern]

the crimson dawn bundle doesn't have a coating for armour

[jaunty yoke]

Fortnite locks the cool skins under paywalls

[novel tangle]

so i guess im buying the super bundle, i already own everything else in the shop today

30 dollars down the drain for me lol

[obsidian wyvern]

standing slice is badass

[jaunty yoke]

How smart, for every 2 super bundles they sell they're getting the same earning of the campaign

[novel tangle]

sidekick bloom is more than it shows imo

[errant current]

Same, wish they'd add something similar to what some mobile games do

[tired wraith]

Yeah

[novel tangle]

yep thats, the industry we have right now, and we will prob never return to the old days

[obsidian wyvern]

ok redwaters actually looks sick when it comes to the coatings and stance, but crimson dawn has sick fx

[jaunty yoke]

I realized that back in Mortal Kombat X with the devs charging players half the price of the full game just for 4 new characters

[candid solar]

Leh funni hat unlock has arrived

[tired wraith]

Wow

[sour gate]

i havent got on halo infinite yet is the funny tenrai tent helmet in the game yet?

[obsidian wyvern]

yes, 1.6k

[errant current]

It's even crazier that people will pay it for those characters too

[obsidian wyvern]

1.4k actually

[pulsar cobalt]

Chestpiece is locked for me

[obsidian wyvern]

#1098000122023006331

[jaunty yoke]

Where can I buy the cool grapple effects?

[fickle drift]

Yeah i tottally get that. However I'm shooting the dude at like 2ft and Its hitting him sometimes the hitmarker shows sometimes it dosnt. I have to footage here but I cant send it without nitro which sucks.

[obsidian wyvern]

im so tempted to buy redwaters

[tired wraith]

[jaunty yoke]

Yoroi beats Hayabusa

[tired wraith]

Calvalino beats recruit

[neat dagger]

Oh lords of Halo, me as a newcomer and about to head into Halo this Black Friday with the new Series X, I kindly ask you, which Halo campaign features the most usage of Human Weaponry?

[tired wraith]

Halo 5

[errant current]

I mean, Im pretty sure you can buy the game w/ those character for like $20 5 months later

[jaunty yoke]

Halo CE

[urban iron]

They messed up Dragonborn group set and forgot to include Lacquered Heartwood from Kawari set.

[neat dagger]

Halo 5 or CE? Sorry

[jaunty yoke]

Literally, 60% of the arsenal in Halo CE is human and it's what the game incentivizes you to use most of the time

[tired wraith]

5

It’s because all the weapon variants

[neat dagger]

I would love to first try CE

[novel tangle]

not all of the multiplayer variants appear in campaign

[jaunty yoke]

If you're new to the series I'd say you play all the games
IN ORDER

[neat dagger]

Should I try CE or 5 first

[errant current]

Eh I always used Covenant stuff whenever I could in CE

[tired wraith]

Maybe, but there are still a bunch

[errant current]

all the games actually

[pulsar cobalt]

if any 343 looking here right now the chest piece hasn't been given and some people are not getting the helmet

[neat dagger]

Yeah I looked it up and 6 weapons are human based while 3 or 4 covenant

In ce

[errant current]

damn really I thought there were more

[jaunty yoke]

Yeah CE has less weapons than one might think, only 12 at release and 2 of them unusable by the player, then with the PC port some more got added

[neat dagger]

What I meant by my og question was the time usage spent in chapters

Of human guns

[novel tangle]

is that the only piece missing?

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah i'm missing the chest piece

[novel tangle]

wont be buying until fixed

[jaunty yoke]

In Halo CE you start every mission with a new refresed loadout and it's always human

[tight remnant]

Submitted a ticket

[neat dagger]

Is that the case in 5?

[errant current]

Idk Halo fandom's showing 5 and 5 unless you include the flamethrower, but its not in the campaign ig

[jaunty yoke]

Yeah also the case

In every game actually minus Halo 2, in that one you start some missions with covenant weapons for reasons I won't spoil

[neat dagger]

Thanks I will play CE and in release order

Can't wait for Black Friday

I am a guy that loves weapon sandboxes in games

[jaunty yoke]

You're gonna love Reach and 4

[glad aspen]

i hope this can help 343 to bring back the cutscenes 👍

[jaunty yoke]

God the horn one looks so silly lol

[split stag]

cool flex bro

[jaunty yoke]

Dragonborne?

Halo Infinite x Skyrim?

[errant current]

Well if they were going for armor that looks like skyrim's they failed miserably

[jaunty yoke]

The lore behind the actual events is kinda interesting

Tenrai armors come from an alternate dimension with samurai spartans

[errant current]

oh thats cool

[timber charm]

love fractures, let’s canon stuff stay grounded

yet gives freedom for devs to experiment

They weren't.

there’s no way this is true

[tight remnant]

I doubt that as well

[queen remnant]

Highly doubt

[candid quail]

video games simply do not cost that much to make lol

god of war ragnarok costed 200mil to make lol

RDR2 was 540 mil to make though

[void magnet]

Yea it might be a reference but TES doesn’t exclusively own ‘Dragonborn’

[candid quail]

thats including marketing though, 370mil is more reasonable

[elfin glacier]

is this a reputable reportedly

[split stag]

praying for the day the industry implodes again so games stop costing millions to make

[elfin glacier]

or random German fansite reportedly

[pulsar cobalt]

So happy with these new yoroi items

[queen remnant]

That doesn't makes sense at all

[novel tangle]

i mean some of the covie weapons are prob more fun to use in general than unsc, but yeah, in combination strives a beautiful playbox of success

[quiet stream]

Don't reset

I need two target assists still!

[void magnet]

Any of the helmet attachments work on multiple helms? Likely not buying, just curious

[tight remnant]

Dragonborn does mean born of dragon basically so

[tight remnant]

No

[warm roost]

Lol

[novel tangle]

i think dragons exists in the tenrai world

[warm roost]

Hi

[sour gate]

is there supposed to be a tenrai event or do I need to wait for the weekly challenge refresh?

[dreamy stirrup]

there's no need to spam.

Needles is overrated

[cloud tundra]

Try SWAT it should be easy enough

[void magnet]

Personally would like if fractures was on the table for cross core as well. Huge fan of the helmets and I wanna use the swords on canon cores 💀

[vapid siren]

343 got lowballed lmao we're rich bois

[obsidian wyvern]

nooo just lost a 49 to 49 ranked slayer

[dreamy stirrup]

git gud

[timber charm]

😣

[obsidian wyvern]

I hope ranked doubles doesn't have power weapons like sword and hammer

[cloud tundra]

Make a Reddit post blaming everything on the game

[warm roost]

What is git gud even mean

[pulsar cobalt]

Why not makes it fun

[obsidian wyvern]

get good

because it's just unbalanced lol

[sour gate]

obviously the rotation of the earth affected Rev's aim

[warm roost]

Duh

[pulsar cobalt]

That's the whole point of power weapons though lmao

[cloud tundra]

Power weapons are usually a matter of pressure and pushing

[warm roost]

Bandit is terrible

Right?

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean having a map like catalyst with swords that have 100% makes no sense, it's just 10 free kills

[cloud tundra]

You are forced to pressure or delete them off the map in ranked

Otherwise gg

[obsidian wyvern]

rockets and sniper makes sense, but the other 2 are too much

[elfin glacier]

50% then?

[errant current]

you mean when ai makes it much faster & easier to create so games are cheaper?

[obsidian wyvern]

even 50% is quite a lot but it's significantly better

[cloud tundra]

Maybe a hot take but I like the Bandit over the BR ngl

[obsidian wyvern]

and I'm saying this as the person who's abused them a lot

[warm roost]

True

[void magnet]

Doesn’t have to be “AI” exclusively personally can see potential in leveraging UE tools (which includes some “AI” tools sure)

[mossy bison]

Look if I could I would use a energy sword in a match instead of a gun

[elfin glacier]

UE is just 1 engine

[void magnet]

Just an example

[errant current]

Oh idk anything about creating video games I just know AI can streamline a lot what would go into coding and visual work 💀

[tight remnant]

That's a bleak and horrible future

[candid quail]

the br is just pretty boring

it's a consistently good mid-midfar range weapon

bandit has a higher ttk if you actually manage to hit every shot though, and the commando can out ttk the br afaik

[errant current]

Depends how you look at it, for those who work in that area yes, for people who enjoy games/movies with great special effects its good

[candid quail]

or well, lower ttk makes more sense

ai can't work on 3d video games lol

[errant current]

It will most likely create new types of jobs as it becomes more common anyway

[candid quail]

the amount of precision you need when working in 3d is incomputable to an ai

[tight remnant]

That statement has, "Crunch is good actually", vibes

[candid quail]

ai could be useful for concept art but an artist is going to be able to better express the interest of the given material

[errant current]

for now

[candid quail]

be a 3d artist, come back to me lol

[errant current]

Anything precision related can pretty much always be done better by a computer, so as the AIs advance I assume they will be able to do that eventually

[candid quail]

3d is deliberate precision

[void magnet]

Lot of confusion about AI nowadays. Has existed in some capacity for a while now. Big recent boom in training and modeling, but anything that doesn’t involve leveraging other peoples content is fair and exciting imo

[candid quail]

you need to know what and where each vertex goes

you can't approximate or guess with it

topology and uv maps are important lol

[errant current]

Sounds exactly like something a computer program could do

[candid quail]

except it doesn't know how things should deform without prior input

[tight remnant]

Concept art needs to have layers and be able to be finely tuned and changed according to demands so..

[void magnet]

Depends on what you mean by this. You can create decent assets from simple video recordings nowadays

[elfin glacier]

ai is decent for quick and dirty prototyping (and tbh i'd be perfectly happy if it stays that way)

beyond that? lol

[candid quail]

the realistic outcome

[cloud tundra]

I only can see value in AI as something that could do maybe the most basic and mundane tasks for more efficiency but also it’s over reliance would become troubling.

[errant current]

Isn't that what machine learning is for? Once they're able, and get enough of that input you mentioned, they can handle that no problem

[tight remnant]

And I am not fond of building on the exploitation of workers and their work.

[candid quail]

ai is really good at doing what it is told to do

it doesn't actually understand what it's doing

[errant current]

hopefully it never does lol

but I don't think it really needs to for it to do a good job

[candid quail]

for 3d, it does

[elfin glacier]

pretty much this. AI will give you an answer to a query. Whether it's right or wrong is another thing

[candid quail]

you need to understand topology, riggingand whatnot

[forest lagoon]

It can only feed out what has been put in. Never generate something fresh and new

[cloud tundra]

AI when it tries to do artsy stuff seems to just clump any data or knowledge it can gather into one ball: “here you go”

[candid quail]

it literally doesn't understand the concept of art

[errant current]

It wouldn't be creating new ideas for the art itself, just being used to do what is needed for whatever it's helping with

[forest lagoon]

annnnnd now i have that JSRF song in my head

[tight remnant]

Honestly calling it AI is disingenous I'd say

[quiet stream]

Weekly challenge complete 😎 3 minutes left

Yeah it’s a reskin/variation of the tier 98 battlepass visor ‘plot device’

[slate marsh]

I really like it

[tight remnant]

Some visors use certain patterns

[cloud tundra]

I think I still only like visors with no patterns personally

[slate marsh]

I try to get all the ultimate visors if I can. Flex that cosmetic muscle a little bit 😆

Bell Toll is still the only visor I use

[void magnet]

[dreamy stirrup]

i like all the obnoxious ones

Will O Whisp goes so hard

A green version of that one wheeeww man

You definitely like all the gem visors like the emerald edge or the new ‘redwaters’ one that’s basically a ruby visor

Now we need a proper neon dark red

[tight remnant]

I do like that new one

[obsidian wyvern]

squad battle is still in this week's rotation btw

ranked doubles and social skirmish back

Was really hoping the petal shoulders and the wrist attachment were gonna be buyable 😂

Will-O'-Wisp is really good but we do have two green glowy visors

@molten pelican you there?

The scarlet hunter visor is good but it’s not red enough

Isn’t that the capstone one for Halloween past?

I think that’s more orange than red

[fickle drift]

Kinda annoying only some br skins change the colour of weapon models

[urban iron]

???

All models are affected by skins. IDK what you mean.

[fickle drift]

They arent

[dreamy stirrup]

the ultimate reward is for the YOROI core

[fickle drift]

Orochi's breath

The colour of the dragon sometimes changes, sometimes doesn't

Depends on the skin

Would have thought with it fitting with the dragon theme it would change, but it doesn't

I haven't played as much squad battlese as it doesn't give me as much score

[inland gyro]

Has anyone else bought the new Yoroi bundle but didn’t get the kawari chest piece? I’m not sure if the bundle was supposed to include that chest piece or not but I totally feel like it should’ve since everything else in the bundle was included

can we just please keep the free for all playlist in the game oh my god my balls are in such painnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[void magnet]

It’s an error

[true ibex]

so annoying bro

[balmy sable]

You will have entire weeks where you will not want to play. Thats the 343 way

[tired wraith]

This is th way

[balmy sable]

Miss all the playlist options we had in Bungie games. It'll never be the same

[true ibex]

its not even about that

bungie sux

we need a match composer

[balmy sable]

Bungie always had FFA in some from ready to be played.

[true ibex]

so bad

mcc is so fun to play cause of the match composer

[balmy sable]

We do, and pregame lobbies but thatll prob never happen under 343

[elfin glacier]

thankfully 🙏

slows down matchmaking

[true ibex]

this guy is just bein dumb idk

[balmy sable]

Pre game lobbies are loved by most people. Its a fun social element.

[true ibex]

i was just bein honest, game needs a match composer like mcc

[elfin glacier]

more playlist options would be nice but playlist health is also a consideration here

half of MCC's playlists are dead

[balmy sable]

343 always talks about playlist health when Bungie never did. Which games did better? bungies

[inland gyro]

Ah aight thx hope it fixes soon

[true ibex]

i loved when bungie made everyone buy map packs just to play matchmaking in h3

good times

[balmy sable]

Not on topic

[true ibex]

cope more

[pulsar cobalt]

you know what i just thought mini btb 😂

[elfin glacier]

i would love like an arena map supersized into a btb map

[balmy sable]

Nothing to cope my guy. Bungies games were better managed and had huge populations due to it.

[elfin glacier]

supersize like idk, recharge, and downsize spartans

[pulsar cobalt]

Imagine a small banshee or wasp on recharge haha

that would be so fun

[balmy sable]

Cause I care

[elfin glacier]

you could turn the server things that move up and down into a map feature

er i mean i guess they're already a map feature

well it'd get pretty small at that point

I need to give infinite forge a whirl again

[hearty flame]

What up

Why would you supersize me

[fossil skiff]

Wasp Wars; everyone is downsized and it’s just wasp squadron battles

[elfin glacier]

for glory

[fickle drift]

I like how I bought the 3 bundle set and it didn't come with the chest piece that was in Kawari bundle lol

[hasty zinc]

they are aware

[fickle drift]

Ok good

[fossil skiff]

Is there a new red visor by chance

I’m not at home so I can’t check

[fickle drift]

Yes

[vast pendant]

im waiting on the unicorn weapon charm

[fossil skiff]

I’ve been itching to get another red visor

[rocky remnant]

halo

[fickle drift]

Also the bandit custom for the dragon doesn't match the colors for alot of the weapon coatings for it

[rocky remnant]

halo

[reef wasp]

lmao the dollar symbol is a "prohibited phrase""

[elfin glacier]

$

hmmm

[rocky remnant]

[reef wasp]

man 34 bucks for 3 armor sets is just wrong

[bronze breach]

Game development is expensive and a business needs to make money to sustain itself

[steady jolt]

Correlation doesn't imply causation.

[elfin glacier]

yeah def steep

hmm wait hang on $34
34$ ?

[bronze breach]

I personally think its justified

This isnt the 360 era anymore.

[elfin glacier]

I don't mind cosmetics being sold but tbh I still think the prices are steep

[amber mirage]

Comes out to about a little over $11 per set. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

[fresh urchin]

Ngl the game should be $50/week to play it smh

[elfin glacier]

oh i was just wondering why the dollar might have been flagged. (see above)

[reef wasp]

too low, sould be at 75 to justify server costs and you get 5 credits in game

[void magnet]

Monthly payment of a kidney

[reef wasp]

343 doesnt like people making fun of them

[elfin glacier]

i mean who would

[bronze breach]

Some factors to consider

• game development is now more complex than on previous gems

• 343 is a business and a business needs to make a profit to sustain itself. Microsoft isnt always going to fork out on the costs.

• inflation is factored in

[fickle drift]

Let the people who wanna spend money spend their money

[steady jolt]

If you want to do that, you can be elsewhere

[elfin glacier]

anyways speaking of recurring costs
considering Microsoft wanted to use Infinite to push GamePass subs, the MP perks are pretty poor...

[void magnet]

A lot of assumptions there, just saying

[fresh urchin]

Yea but when I pay $34 for three sets the game should be developed fully and not be missing features

[reef wasp]

Another factor, Microsoft is one of the biggest companies in the entire world

[bronze breach]

Matt Booty mentioned a few weeks ago that game development can take up to 6 years, thus implying game development is complex now

[elfin glacier]

like that's a criticism I've had for a while. GamePass subs should have better perks for infinite. 1 coating + swaps/xp/whatever a month is not great

[fossil skiff]

Haven’t had a perk in awhile now that you mention it :c

[fresh urchin]

Didn’t they have like 6 years to make Infinite?

[void magnet]

Of course it can. Technically there is no limit on how long it could take

[elfin glacier]

I'd think 1 coating set or a piece of armor + some cR + swaps or xp per month would be far more lucrative

[severe holly]

i would like to announce that all elites are pretty cool EXCEPT the spec ops minors

[bronze breach]

Cant remember, 3 years engine stuff and 3 years to make the actual game afaik

[elfin glacier]

nobody but 343/MS have an actual figure on the actual development time

[ornate python]

please could someone help me with Dolby Atmos bug on Windows 11

For official support, you'll need to go to the Halo Support site: https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[fresh urchin]

Yea just buy a new pc that would work

[ornate python]

dolby atmos switches off when after signing into halo infinite

@fresh urchin haha, im playing on a new pc

[reef wasp]

get a new one, two is always better than one!

[fresh urchin]

Cool, go buy a new one and the bug won’t be there

[novel tangle]

hey do you guys know if ultimate has always been 17 dollars, or are they raising the price wiht the annoucement of gamepass core?

[fresh urchin]

Simple solution

[elfin glacier]

tbh that's not great

[elfin glacier]

I think it's been around $15~ for a while

[ornate python]

@reef wasp funny, create a go fund me page to buy a second pC

[void magnet]

I think they raised it a bit ago?

[fossil skiff]

Price was recently raised a few dollars

[elfin glacier]

15.99? so i guess they bumped it a dollar
or two

[ember snow]

Why must the Dragonborn Noble HAVE too be exclusive to the big bundle😭

[reef wasp]

i cant, gofund me doesnt work on the third world

[steady jolt]

Game Pass had a price raise announced in the last few weeks. Think it kicks in either now or August 1st

[elfin glacier]

i think a monthly 250 or 300cR for gamepass subs would be a good perk

[bronze breach]

For infinite, they should have followed Gears 5 approach.

• earnable currency from gameplay and that currency can be used to purchase store cosmetics

-in Gears 5, the price through gameplay currency was like 5000-20k afaik, which make sense

For the type of content you want to purchase

[novel tangle]

dang, yeah. crazy times, do you think they will still sell annual bundles for the online service. i still always spend 60 dollars for a year of gold and then an extra 15 to convert to ultimate, but im getting a slight feeling that ms is trying to crackdown on that.

[steady jolt]

https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/21/23768400/microsoft-xbox-series-x-xbox-game-pass-price-increase

[elfin glacier]

i think there's some conversion going on

[warm roost]

Game pass has nothing good

[steady jolt]

Maybe for you

[elfin glacier]

it has Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition

[steady jolt]

Though for it to really have nothing, your gaming tastes must be incredibly niche

[warm roost]

What y’all think about bandit?

[bronze breach]

Prefer br

[reef wasp]

you are just baiting now

[fossil skiff]

Bandit fun

[bronze breach]

I ditch it when I can

[warm roost]

Correct morbius

SIM is terrible

*Aim

[bronze breach]

Gears is good 👍

[fossil skiff]

I’ll take bandits in btb over the sidekick any day

[warm roost]

Idk

Sidekick is best

[reef wasp]

how will the 25 gamepass games will be selected on the new suscription?

[elfin glacier]

by someone in microsoft

no really it's just a curated list of games

[reef wasp]

🤔

[steady jolt]

The initial 25 games have already been announced

[warm roost]

Forza is also good

Cod

[novel tangle]

ultimate is just better than core imo. but yeah in general, i cant say im a fan of these prices going up

[novel tangle]

wdym

[steady jolt]

Things are more expensive

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bronze breach]

Looks like the appeal process is paused for the CMA appeal

[elfin glacier]

gold subs are getting converted to core subs

[fossil skiff]

Could be much worse I guess

[open robin]

I hate covert one flag and nothing you can do will get me to like it

[fossil skiff]

Still a heck of a bargain to me

[obsidian wyvern]

how is ranked doubles already a 4 minute wait

[bronze breach]

What does everyone think. Will the merger of Activision go ahead?

[tight remnant]

The new bandit model is amazing

[novel tangle]

ah yeah, i hope they dont stop making annual packages. prices are getting annoying lol

[steady jolt]

Fairly confident it will

Especially after coming this far

[candid solar]

Hopefully when they jack up the price they also remember to give us the rest of the aqua hex coatings.

Instead of forgetting that Halo has gamepass rewards.

[tight remnant]

I think so too

[bronze breach]

Hope so. Just read that CMA and Microsoft agreed to pause on the process so they can renegotiate. But that may also result in a new investigation too.

US wise, there is a class action lawsuit done by a group of gamers to get the US supreme court to block the merger

Quite interesting stuff, I really wish I was in the competition/anti trust/commercial sector as a paralegal

[steady jolt]

That class action is going nowhere

[novel tangle]

i hope that fixing the horrible stick drift becomes a result of these events

[elfin glacier]

entrenched bird what do you think about my thoughts

that the GPU perks are kinda meh

like from the angle of

[bronze breach]

Yeah. Just angry gamers really

[elfin glacier]

"we want to drive signups for GPU so we should put in perks to make it attractive to have for certain games"

[steady jolt]

And CMA are just trying to save face - just like the FTC

[bronze breach]

Yeah defo, I mean they tried to delay the appeal until October

[novel tangle]

honestly, might think gamepass core could be worse than xbl gold

[winter flame]

i would say the CMA are being pragmatic

[elfin glacier]

doesn't it have the same perks more or less?

gp core and xblg?

[novel tangle]

i dont think we get the free 2 games a month anymore, dont we

[winter flame]

no but those games started to suck real bad

[steady jolt]

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2023/07/17/xbox-game-pass-core/

[winter flame]

or at least be of very niche interest

shouldnt say they suck just cause they dont interest me

[bronze breach]

You got to understand, CMA concluded there is no harm to UK gamers. So that's not a problem

It's the cloud gaming monopolsiation

[amber mirage]

I appreciated the fact that they started to give more indies. I like that it wasn't just games I would've bought anyways.

[bronze breach]

That's the only obstacle for Microsoft

[novel tangle]

true, but now, people are stuck to 25 games instead of the 24games/year that can be reinstalled.

[winter flame]

so there is harm to current and future UK cloud gamers 😄 but yah i honestly expected them to come to an arrangement. Wasnt really sure why the head of Xbox UK had a hissy fit at the UK's independent regulator

[steady jolt]

New titles will be added 2-3 times a year.

[winter flame]

it was almost like he wasnt British if he thought the government was gonna overrule them

[open robin]

I just delivered the flag and it said "round tied" how is it tied if I brought it to our spawn and there were 40 seconds on the clock

[candid solar]

I just want my aqua hex coating.

[novel tangle]

ah, i thought it was just those initial games.

[elfin glacier]

you will get nothing

fly away entrenchedd bird

[novel tangle]

idk tho, glad thats its almost over, but im just getting the feeling that these recent events are going to result in a future thats worse than the one we have now.

[obsidian wyvern]

corrupted hex?

[bronze breach]

Wait wait. Please dont tell me we have to play fiesta for tenrai 2?

[obsidian wyvern]

aqua hex was sold in the shop
ember hex was a drop
and the purple hex we know nothing of

[leaden storm]

Dude, what the hell is happening with the servers

[obsidian wyvern]

any mode

[bronze breach]

Thank goodness for that

[amber mirage]

Any mode, except for you. You have to play Fiesta

[obsidian wyvern]

the challenges seem to be oriented around 4v4 fiesta modes though

like there's a lot of sword kill challenges

[candid solar]

Yeah that sorry

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah there was death hex too

[elfin glacier]

purple hex doesn't exist stop asking about it

[obsidian wyvern]

aureate hex

[fluid turtle]

anyone have the Yokai Helmet with the Spirited Thoughts armor effect? or is that only for the MK7?

[obsidian wyvern]

it's nether hex to me

[amber mirage]

Ender hex when?

[obsidian wyvern]

oh wait that's what I meant lol

[amber mirage]

I didn't think that was actually a thing. I was just trying to make a Minecraft joke.

[candid solar]

Bloodbird hex

[elfin glacier]

gets stronger with every cR

pay2win

[candid solar]

1 cent=additional .01% damage

[pulsar cobalt]

The new armour effect ?

[fluid turtle]

check the shop

[fickle drift]

I haven't played Halo for a long time what's new?

[candid solar]

All armor and mythic effects are always available for all armors.

[pulsar cobalt]

Do you want to see what the effect looks like on yokai ?

[fluid turtle]

right but i cant preview it

only on the mk7

[leaden storm]

I literally can't even play the game because the servers are exploding for me

[fickle drift]

[leaden storm]

Is this how it feels to be european?

[candid solar]

Yes

[fluid turtle]

yeah i do actually if you have it

[fickle drift]

man i forgot how bad the spawns were in MCC

[leaden storm]

S4 also introduced this really funny bug for me, where it will drop my framerate to 30 - 20 FPS and lower the render resolution to like 50%

[leaden storm]

Squad spawning system was designed for 2v2, and every bungie halo game suffered because of it

[pulsar cobalt]

thanks

Too scared to play infinite rn because I will go negative 🥲

Nah you will do real good

[bronze breach]

I'll play tomorrow.

definitely noticing that after coming back after so long

If you play 2v2, you will have a much better experience

Just across the board lol

[obsidian wyvern]

tenrai 2 done, the ar model is nice

[bronze breach]

Test

Odd discord on PC isnt working

[hasty zinc]

[fossil skiff]

Are you trying to run it and infinite at the same time

[trim hull]

is it just me or has everyone gotten better at halo infinite all the sudden, or am i just getting worse.

[fossil skiff]

Maybe you are having an off day

[sinful yoke]

I always suck so

[trim hull]

also, did they add old maps to halo infinite?

[leaden storm]

At least no matter how bad halo infinite gets, it's not halo 2. My god that was the most miserable experience i've had on MCC in a while

[bronze breach]

working again

[fickle drift]

lol one day ill try 😄

[hasty zinc]

they added some Forged Halo 3 maps into the Squad Battle playlist

[bronze breach]

I really should shutdown my pc... https://i.imgur.com/yf1fIYe.jpg

theres people out there that says infinites multiplayer is bad compared to these on the mcc .....baffling tbh

I'm sitting here with no matches

no lmao, not a single match on any modes

[pulsar cobalt]

Placements is that about ranked ?

[shell agate]

How did I not realise until today that the Chonmage set for Yoroi is not “Chronomage”

[hasty zinc]

well you see, you probably read it fast and missed some letters

[obsidian wyvern]

screw catalyst

of course they kept the sword

[oak cave]

hellooo

[bold sparrow]

Chronomage would be the Fracture where Spartans are just weaponized wizards.
Shadow wizard money gang.

Presumably chronomage would be some kind of time-wizard.

Guys are the MCC servers down or is it just not working for me?

If it's via Steam, it could be the weekly maintenance Steam does?

[elfin glacier]

nooooo

[bronze breach]

I wanted to see them grow up... why on earth would someone move them

[hearty kiln]

It's xbox

[smoky token]

Does Halo not use Azure servers?

Or would it be Steamworks DRM at play?

[fiery solar]

my sprinkler goes like ratatatata and then tstststststs in the other direction

Maybe someone stole them and had a nice dinner

That actually happened few weeks ago at a village

[steady jolt]

I don't know how Steam works tbh. Just guessing

[bronze breach]

Story time for zug!

[pulsar cobalt]

Suprised the halo discord picture did not become a pose

[fickle drift]

anyone know some p2p streaming software

[bronze breach]

• At a pond there was a swan family with 4 cygnets.

• a group of people kidnapped mother swan and cygnets

• police found cygnets at a shop and the owner confessed he was part of a group that kidnapped them

• other conspirators was found and it was discovered the mother swan was taken and eaten by the group as they thought it was a large duck

• they were charged for something but cant remember for what since it's an offence to kill swans since the king now owns them all

Cygnets were returned to the pond, but the dad swan who was there, didnt realize those were his and tried to drown a cygnet.

• the dad swan had to be permwntely moved to a different pond

[tidal hatch]

Anyone ever get this bug in infinite, I was in Social Skirmish with 1 flag, went into the overtime round, I was holding the flag during end of countdown time so I got bonus OT time since, I scored the flag and they still counted the game as a Tie? what?!

[bronze breach]

Yeah someone mentioned that earlier. Not only you

[pulsar cobalt]

That's depressing

[elfin glacier]

:c

[tidal hatch]

I mean i didnt need a win challenge but that was annoying esp after the clutch score

[bronze breach]

Yeah, now the cygnets have to grow up without their parents

But in any case, probably doesnt matter because they leave them like when they are grown afaik

[proper shell]

I just found a gaming magazine with an article called "Halo 2 vs Killzone vs Metroid Prime 2" as the cover story.

I miss "Halo Killers" so much.

[bronze breach]

Nice

[pulsar cobalt]

Killzone i reckon will comeback but as a reboot tbh

[bronze breach]

I genuinely want to camp at night at the pond where the swans and ducks are as I'm curious as to what they do at night lol

[elfin glacier]

sleep probably

i think they sleep on land

[bronze breach]

Maybe lol. I can't imagine them sleeping lol

[proper shell]

I can see Sony forcing Bungie, Insomniac, or Blue Point to reboot Killzone/Resistance (another Halo Killer.)

[elfin glacier]

they do

[bronze breach]

Yeah most likely like every living thing

[elfin glacier]

they tuck in their heads

@bronze breach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbsPt9LOytU

[pulsar cobalt]

Also surprised sony hasn't brought back The Getaway tbh

That game was so good

[trim hull]

I showed a friend a halo book and on the cover it showed some spartan IIs and he said: "why are there so many master chiefs?"

[bronze breach]

I remember there was this spammer on reddit that went around in different game subreddit saying an upcoming game was the " <insert game name> killer"

[pulsar cobalt]

Its funny with the game killers haha

its like when star wars the old republic released people thought it was gonna completely kill wow 😂

amazing game and fun but still haha

[hasty zinc]

resistance and haze were both Halo "killers" too

[bronze breach]

I should go around and say "hire me, and I will save <insert game name>"

[hasty zinc]

maybe killzone as well

[bronze breach]

[pulsar cobalt]

Wasn't haze that really hyped up game that completely flopped

[slate marsh]

Hows Tenrai so far yall??

[pulsar cobalt]

Well its nice we got more yoroi stuff but its okay the store items are the best part about it

[slate marsh]

Ahh

[bronze breach]

Love the dragon shoulders

[proper shell]

I love that Sony focused on 3 entire Halo Killers during the 7th generation.

The Conduit was basically Nintendo's Halo killer for the Wii (Conduit 2 was actually really good.)

[pulsar cobalt]

I feel like it should of just been 1 event and not split in two and just had 20 rewards for week 1 and 2

[slate marsh]

I was a tad bummed the dope helmets are in the next go around of Tenrai and not this one :/

[slate marsh]

Yes yes

[proper shell]

And yeah, Sony marketed it as a Halo Killer smh.

[pulsar cobalt]

Thing is though killzone MP was really fun

[bronze breach]

I like the tin man yoroi helmet in store

[proper shell]

That's what I've heard. The Conduit games had good mp too.

Apparently Resistance had solid multiplayer.

[pulsar cobalt]

Really hoping killzone comes back i do miss it badly

[amber mirage]

Probably not for a long time, if at all. Guerilla's Games pretty much only does Horizon now.

[pulsar cobalt]

Shame

[amber mirage]

Another studio could work on it, but unlikely given the games never really made much of a splash compared to Sony's current lineup.

Around 1.5k for 7 and a half minutes for super fiesta playlist

whereas in rumble pit that was around 2.5k in depending but around six minutes

[elfin glacier]

pins here has the numbers down to a science

[tight remnant]

I may not be onyx but I'm at least diamond, still higher than most so grind grind science

[dusky berry]

pins how much do you charge for coaching? someone recommended you to me

[round laurel]

Sure, but it seems like a lot of the other high ranked career players were playing Rumble and Infection... so it might be the next best thing.

I think they grab the turret.

[tight remnant]

Grinding coaching? Spartan Fashion coaching? just skill coaching? or maybe lore coaching?

[tight remnant]

Yeah if you get a really good game you can get a lot of XP

[hearty beacon]

[tight remnant]

50 kill game is over 5k xp, which is nice. BUT you have to have so many factors go right as well, zombies, zombie skill, team mates, when they die, if you have a good set up

So you have to put more mental effort in as well, which can fatigue you more. So that fatigue must be factored in. Rumble pit you don't have to always be giving 100% to do decent, easier to relax with music and other stuff

One playlist I am looking forward to which I think should give lots of good score is husky raid. And there's one map I really really hope gets into matchmaking

[fickle drift]

Would anyone be interested in taking it?

[tight remnant]

We don't allow surveys per our rules here.

[fickle drift]

Oh

Then i dont need to be here.

[novel tangle]

theres people that full stack squad battle and farm kills

[tight remnant]

Oh wow that sucks..

Farmers like that are like the worst

thats why I liked rumble pit, it's FFA. You do bad, u dont affect your team, its you

There's no teams farming your team

[mighty epoch]

why does nobody talk in halo reach social games

[tight remnant]

Do they talk in other titles?

[mighty epoch]

it’s full of no-mic’rs

eh idk

[fickle drift]

Day 3: praying for 343 to add Halo mcc on mac

[tight remnant]

I don't think I'm enjoying social skirmish. I don't see as many graet playlists for me in the forseeable future. I did like team survivors but that's out as well and rumble pit. I guess I'll have to play a lot of infection and maybe quick play but, it doesnt feel it for now

[slow kiln]

I've been having mad issues with infinite it crashes a lot mostly right when I press A to start it turns black screen and causes my entire xbox series x to act weird and won't let me boot up any other games after and takes a long time to restart it as well

Anyone else having this issue

[tight remnant]

It's been happening a lot more to me

[steady jolt]

Please don't post this every single day. Doing that won't do anything. If this is something you would like to see happen, you're welcome to start a new topic in the #1076337363770417172 forum

[fickle drift]

NGL either Ive never had bugs/crashes issues on halo before or I never notice them

[elfin glacier]

closest that you'll get is probably a compatability layer like CrossOver

[fickle drift]

I know. I just do it because the future is unknown and many things can happen

[elfin glacier]

https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover

[fickle drift]

I wont stop. Just as with the vaccines and i will push on.

Have a nice day

Be careful

[elfin glacier]

uh

[tight remnant]

If you don't stop then you're going to simply face the consequences of your own actions. Plus it's not really going to do much? So like, yeah.

[elfin glacier]

wat

[fickle drift]

Would i get banned?

Dang ok ill stop

Im sick of gettjng banned cause of my shizo lore

[tight remnant]

For breaking the rules? If you keep breaking them yeah? It's not a hard concept to grasp honestly.

[vapid siren]

hold on can we run that back

[elfin glacier]

even disregarding the rule stuff, it's a MS title lol

the day they put an MS first party game on Linux (or Mac) will be a strange day indeed

[fickle drift]

I know but its fun

Now its... Joever

[elfin glacier]

it's fun to... post a comment every day?

[hasty zinc]

I don't know why I found this funny

[fickle drift]

Once a day yes.

Since im rarely active here

[elfin glacier]

they thought they were safe

[hasty zinc]

someone was using a bot to talk over team voice that match

[elfin glacier]

like tts?

[amber mirage]

The new armor effect and kill effect are so cool

Only problem now is there's too many effects and not enough cores and weapons to use them on.

[hasty zinc]

yeah

[steady jolt]

Lol

[vapid siren]

oh yeah that's a thing lol

[hasty zinc]

I didn't know what was happening. When I first heard it I thought I was losing my mind

[tight remnant]

That's an accesibility option I think

[hasty zinc]

yeah I figured as much

[amber mirage]

Your subconscious emerged to tell you how bad you were

[hasty zinc]

I will say, it had a lot more impact on me hearing it than reading it

[fickle drift]

so mcc has been giving me the ue fatal error antone know how to fix this?

[opaque gyro]

Just had the most unballanced match of my life

I absoluterly stomped, enemy team did alright, and my team was like it was their first video game. We won by two points. back hurts man.

[hasty zinc]

#humblebrag

[vapid siren]

dont make me pull out some clips to actually brag

[opaque gyro]

a brag? IDK more like luck

I was on controller and I suck on controller

Id say it was MM handing me the long end of the stick and everyone else was grasping at air

[opaque gyro]

Do it, good clips are always fun

[fickle drift]

Where's the meme channel?

[tight remnant]

Not on this server.

[fickle drift]

Damn really? Nowhere for memes at all? RIP

[vapid siren]

i'd give it 10s before one of yall just has a meme of some slur

and that's a generous estimate

[candid solar]

I'd bet actual money that any user asking for a meme channel would have posted something with a slur of some kind within 24 hours of getting their request granted.

So the current armor bundles should be both weeks right?

[tight remnant]

I'm not sure but I thought Tenrai II was a one week event

[vapid siren]

is it a 2 weeker?

[tight remnant]

two

[vapid siren]

sam seems to say so

well i guess ik what im doing next week

[tight remnant]

What are you doing next week?

[vapid siren]

[willow kraken]

Any good guides on how to get sweatier in Infinate?

Saw a good one on straifing, do bots actually help?

[tight remnant]

NO

[vapid siren]

YES

I CANNOT BE STOPPED

[minor drum]

lol no man

[obsidian wyvern]

academy weapon drills do

[slender sail]

I just got scammed

[round laurel]

Play, watch streamers, watch guides.

[slender sail]

I bought 5000 halo credits with a gift card and the money got taken but I don’t have the credits I love this game

[candid solar]

Play it in a sauna.

[candid solar]

Restart your game.

[minor drum]

strafing and aiming doesnt matter much in infinite. The hitboxes are enormous and anyone can land a 4 shot with it.

To get good, play older halos. Thats where the real good players are.

[candid solar]

If that fails, contact support.

[candid solar]

You can't see it, but I'm laughing right now.

[obsidian wyvern]

???????

[candid solar]

Not very hard, but I am laughing.

[minor drum]

whats your gamertag

[vapid siren]

... what

[candid solar]

Yourmom12827

[minor drum]

cover is more important than strafing in infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

oh i didnt read the last sentence, thought it was a legit take

[vapid siren]

and pray tell how do you get TO the cover

and what do you to to EXIT the cover

[minor drum]

its is, and its true. Infinite is probs one of the worst halo

[candid solar]

Theeeere it is

[vapid siren]

[candid solar]

Like clockwork, baby.

[vapid siren]

https://tenor.com/view/gentlemen-synchronize-synch-synchronise-notaquietk-gif-18049587

[minor drum]

whats that? i dont like infinite so my input is invalid? Lmfao, ive put in tons of hours in infinite, and its still a bad halo game

[obsidian wyvern]

drop the gamertag

[candid solar]

Your input's invalid, but not because you don't like Infinite.

[minor drum]

use sprint. real no brainer my man

[minor drum]

B4gs 4 Days

[candid solar]

Lmao

[vapid siren]

1500 s1

[obsidian wyvern]

[vapid siren]

[minor drum]

i have more than one account my man

[vapid siren]

ew even uses smurfs

[obsidian wyvern]

but onyx with no strafing yeeeeeeeees

[vapid siren]

extra cringe

[minor drum]

yup

[vapid siren]

give us the main you coward

[elfin glacier]

is the account in Canada in a different school

[minor drum]

you dont have to strafe in infinite, use cover. strafing doesnt matter as much as it use to

[vapid siren]

do it cmon prove us wrong show us the light

[minor drum]

i could just redownload and 1v1 you. lmfao

[vapid siren]

[obsidian wyvern]

i need help getting to onyx and i strafe, i need the advice

[minor drum]

that would be the best, cause then i could teabag you in real time

[vapid siren]

just share the stats bro it's less effort

[elfin glacier]

watch out

we got a tough guy here

[minor drum]

use cover more man. Dont let them get the first shot. If you get shot, go to cover and regen. Other than that communication is key.

[obsidian wyvern]

moments like these where i miss dex

[vapid siren]

unlike others i wear my main on my sleeve so just sayin

[round laurel]

I like it Earl Grey, hot.

[vapid siren]

bro got executed in r/halo never forgetti rip in spaghetti

[candid solar]
