@hasty zinc yo bro can I upload something rq

[faint mantle]

I ain't Aegis, but no, we do not want to see your sister fight.

This is exactly why regular folk have no permissions

[fickle drift]

Grade 7

[barren comet]

I'm scared to ask what kind of fighting

[faint mantle]

Then don't

[fickle drift]

Just look at the video I sent

[hearty flame]

Man if we ever got a Taylor Swift AI in mp

I'd win every game to hear her cheer for me

[calm fiber]

CIRC's levels of jealousy have reached a critical point.

[hearty flame]

Circ is my current AI but things just aren't working out

Losing her would make me blue like I'd never known. Missing her, dark grey all alone. Forgetting her would be like trying to know somebody I've never met.

But loving her? That's red.

[calm fiber]

But not Banished Red

[barren comet]

You down in the trenches for those ai girls bro

[ripe willow]

man I wish the update was never a thing I was playing fine before and now its just fatal error

[rare cedar]

MCC or Infinite

[ripe willow]

MCC

[rare cedar]

Verified integrity of files?

[ripe willow]

already sent a support ticket and stuff

[rare cedar]

[ripe willow]

and yea like everyone else did

[rare cedar]

Hopefully the hotfix will fix it when it comes out later this week

(tomorrow or Friday)

[ripe willow]

hopefully or my pc will fly friday out the window

[rare cedar]

can you record it

[ripe willow]

lemme buy my new pc and sure as hell will

[rare cedar]

for those interested in learning just how nightmarish game troubleshooting is

the answer btw of what was the problem

[faint jungle]

how often do guys come on here and host reach custom games?

[gentle osprey]

Donno if this has been talked about yet but I can’t bother looking through anything, but anyone hear about r/place

[pure gate]

They fall in line

I know with the issues Infinite had, if Microsoft and 343 will just abandon Infinite's 10 year plan, I mean since campaign DLC isn't happening

Here's a would you rather? Would you rather have to deal with the infamous Jackal Sniper Boulevard from Halo 2 on Mythic or Gravemind from Halo 2 on Mythic?

[royal lance]

If halo ever hits 15k concurrent players for a week straight from here on out ill buy every battle pass in the game

[bronze bronze]

I'm Cortana

[obsidian solar]

Good for you I guess

[bronze bronze]

Lame

[pure gate]

Let's not make you a promise we can't keep, then

[obsidian solar]

I didn't know what to say

[obsidian solar]

Good sense of humor here

[pure gate]

Thanks, they did set me up for it

[obsidian solar]

Kinda did

[obsidian solar]

Anyone else awake

I need someone to talk to

[dusty fossil]

I love when I get kills after I died from the grenades it is so satisfying.

[bronze bronze]

Same it's awesome

[wild sleet]

The feeling about taking apart my Series X to give it a clean really is making me want to start building myself a PC the novelty of it is starting to grow on me

[bronze bronze]

I built my PC and once you finish building it setting up fan speeds and drivers bios and all that, it really makes you feel a connection to it

Dope experience

[haughty wraith]

Some clown mf really cussed me out in a quick play lobby for "being trash" and i kid you not, said say hi to stream, so naturally i complied, nice to see that halo spirit alive

I got second place btw

[bronze breach]

You bad, me good

[real hemlock]

bro i got 3 more acheivements to get perfect and they are pain

at least 2 of them

[obsidian wyvern]

for which game

[real hemlock]

infinte

[obsidian wyvern]

which ones are they

[real hemlock]

control freak, straight to the bank, and party bus

[obsidian wyvern]

straight to the bank is easy enough when you're trying but it's getting the game mode that's hard now

[real hemlock]

yeah thats the trouble im having

[obsidian wyvern]

control freak is capture all 3 zones right?

[real hemlock]

yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah that's somewhat difficult

and party bus is straight up hard without a squad

[real hemlock]

i was super close to getting it but i couldnt get to the last point fast enough and they capped it

[obsidian wyvern]

idm helping you with party bus if we're both on at the same time later today

[real hemlock]

yeah it seems like everyone hates the razorback lol

[obsidian wyvern]

you could try posting in #lfg-social or #lfg-other and might get help

[real hemlock]

i might try later

[bronze breach]

Noooo rev will drive you off the cliff!!!!!!

[real hemlock]

lol as long as i get the acheivement he can shove me off the map all day XD

[obsidian wyvern]

my driving isn't bad smh

[viral carbon]

Anyone has UTIL S PAK Behaving weirdly like having weird color

[lapis snow]

is it okay for game to crash every 10 mins ? : /

also, how do I control vehicles, wasd seems to do no work

[paper jolt]

any others having error with dedicated server frequently when trying to start matches?

[lapis snow]

me

didnt find fix yet

if it even exists

[weary bluff]

has anyone experienced this glitch where your ai will randomly switch from the one you have equipped to butler?

[fickle drift]

Hmm

No

[real hemlock]

yeah a lot actually

[jade gust]

I do hope they are able to solve that bug, I love having Fret as my AI

In part because he sounds like a cat most curious about the world

[silent trail]

I lov odst
I loved firefight, the little things. Like the countdown to the wave starting, then the announcer would say “wave start, tough luck and black eye on” and you would just be like oh crap 😂

Do badass

[somber wagon]

This bug is there from S2, it happens when you change core before a match and it fixed itself after a couple of matches

[obsidian wyvern]

if youre here stckr, just noticed this and got not clue as to what it is

[steady jolt]

Huh

Where's this?

[obsidian wyvern]

click the rewards icon

[steady jolt]

Oooh, I see. Shiny

[obsidian wyvern]

i think you have to do 3 searches every day for 7 days and then you get a puzzle piece, eventually making the puzzle and bagging 1k

[steady jolt]

Oh dang, that's cool

Definitely need to try that

[timber sleet]

hmm, i dont think i have that :(

[valid grotto]

I simply say the words IRS in a sentence and everyone goes running for the hills.... why?

[timber sleet]

and i've been doing rewards non stop for 633 days 💀

[obsidian wyvern]

might be EU only

[timber sleet]

ah yeah prob

[valid grotto]

Oh hi Rev hi stckr

[obsidian wyvern]

[fickle drift]

hello sweethearts

[valid grotto]

[thick horizon]

ah ok so would it still be co op campaign for a modded level?

[valid grotto]

Am I the only one who listens to halo 3 odst sound track to sleep T×T

[mighty epoch]

me too..

[valid grotto]

Rain is the best song hands down

[proper osprey]

Are the Halo servers down for anyone else or is it just me?

[thick horizon]

Whats your guys favourite game music outside of Halo?

[jade gust]

Kinda hard to pick when you have games like Hi-Fi Rush, Resident Evil, Pokémon and Dishonored to pick a favourite soundtrack of

[valid grotto]

I like zeldas fairy fountain

[thick horizon]

I love Jeff Van Dycks music in Medieval II and Rome 1 for me its on the same level as Halos though I love both

[fickle drift]

DOOM!!!

[jade gust]

I see that EVA profile picture, Anock, respect

[mighty epoch]

real

[obsidian wyvern]

i really liked one part of this ac7 music but then the vocals kinda ruined it for me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kVdCaczLE8

[valid grotto]

I'll hear the halo music till my last breath then that music will be so amazing it follows me into the grave due to one of three reasons
1 my casket has a Bluetooth speaker

2 the music is so great it followed me

3 the music is so great it followed me

1 is unlikely... 2 and 3 are real

[thick horizon]

Are YT music links ok in this Discord group then sorry I am new :^P

[obsidian wyvern]

yea, but they wont embed

[valid grotto]

Rev is special ^-^

[obsidian wyvern]

(no)

[valid grotto]

Yes you are everyone is in there own way... or so I've been told....

[thick horizon]

cool so its fine if I post one from med II then?

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean if its music and we're talking about music then sure

[fickle drift]

How did everyone feel playing Infinite for the first time???

[thick horizon]

Nice :^D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPPQ80QfFt0

[valid grotto]

It felt good homes

[thick horizon]

hmm why did that not post the same way the other one did

[obsidian wyvern]

you need the inheritor role for it to embed

[calm fiber]

Inheritors are folks with veterancy, a record of good behavior, and currently active

[thick horizon]

ah ok

[valid grotto]

Magic! -o-

[pulsar cobalt]

infinite felt amazing playing it the first time still is tbh

[valid grotto]

Right

[jade gust]

Wish I could replay it for the first time again

[pulsar cobalt]

Facts

That music starting up was just chef kiss shame most of the music is gone from the main menu now though

[jade gust]

Like, I do have some issues with it from a level design perspective (Which isn't related to the reuse of assets, that happens all the time) but the gameplay is just so well done and I desperately need new PvE experiences with it

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah its PVE ,Mark IV,mark VI cores, cross-core and a hide core feature and more weapons is what i really want

[jade gust]

More weapons and vehicles for sure

Like, I need my Plasma Rifle and SMG back desperately

[pulsar cobalt]

100%

[jade gust]

Carbine and Needle Rifle would be nice to see back as well

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they ported over a bunch of the Halo 5 weapons to give us more weapons

[pulsar cobalt]

Needle rifle i think would be very nice it could act like the old needler where the little needler bits did dmg

[obsidian wyvern]

bring him back

[jade gust]

Yes! I miss that thing

[pulsar cobalt]

I reckon this might come back you know

[thick horizon]

Pre Halo 1 harpoon is kinda similiar

[pulsar cobalt]

Also i think we should get the halo CE AR

[obsidian wyvern]

damn someone made a lego one

[pulsar cobalt]

for close up dmg and make the normal ar for long range

[jade gust]

I don't even want them to redesign the Sticky Detonator, just give us an updated model and bring it back

[obsidian wyvern]

just give an smg at that point

[pulsar cobalt]

but the classic CE AR is so beautiful though

[jade gust]

I can live without the CE AR

[obsidian wyvern]

itd be funny to see them bring a low poly CE core tbh

[pulsar cobalt]

But if the SMG did get added which one would you want ?

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 5

[jade gust]

H2A campaign design but feels like the launch H5 SMG

[sand nest]

I Wish Their Was A Option In Settings To Disable The Multiplayer A.I. Voice

[pulsar cobalt]

I personally would love any i think they are all good but my favourite is the halo 3 one

[sand nest]

I Want A Sgt. Johnson A.I.

[pulsar cobalt]

I think the main weapons that infinite need right now is SMG,SAW,Sticky grenade,

[sand nest]

I Want The ODST Suppressor SMG

[pulsar cobalt]

I kinda feel like AI's have been scrapped i just get that feeling

No new colours and no new ones

[thick horizon]

Wouldve loved AIs of Serena and Cortana in Infinite

[sand nest]

It Is Lacking In Options & Content

[pulsar cobalt]

We haven't got anything to do with ai's since S2

[thick horizon]

Maybe I'll see you guys on later Imma continue trying to find another player if possible X^D

[oak cave]

hola

[bronze breach]

All part of my plan to go back to red v blue master chief

[jade gust]

I'm still surprised Red Vs Blue is coming to an end

[obsidian wyvern]

lol whathttps://twitter.com/Banished_Atriox/status/1681676487962017792

its real as well

[bronze breach]

Photoshopped 👍

[cinder berry]

RvB ended a long time ago for me

At some point it just stopped being funny

[pulsar cobalt]

What the haha

[calm fiber]

while I am reticent to allow more human filth into the banished he will serve us well.

[bronze breach]

You are nothing but a bug beneath my boot.

[stoic rapids]

not really

[bronze breach]

[wild sleet]

We’ll probably get more AI’s the same way it took to S4 to get new Weapon Kits

[hard sleet]

[bronze breach]

We need mech suits in btb!!!!

[pulsar cobalt]

We need 32v32 btb all out warfare

[bronze breach]

My kind of game

[pulsar cobalt]

Can you sign up for 343 and become the lead btb dev and make it happen

[bronze breach]

Ofc. Time to apply and usurp control 👍

Me: just edit a config file and increase player count from 24 to 64 👍

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[bronze breach]

"Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan on Tuesday turned down the request, filed by a group of gamers, for an emergency injunction to halt the merger"

In relation to activision takeover

What will people do next. Appeal to the president

[pulsar cobalt]

Lmao

[fickle drift]

hey everyone 😄

[carmine fractal]

[hasty zinc]

dang

[pulsar cobalt]

Season 5 comes we have included new ranks, we find the ranking system to be really quick so here's new ranks to get inheritor

5 weeks and already max rank that's just crazy tbh

[bronze breach]

Spiteful probably raging

[pulsar cobalt]

They will be both raging if they add more ranks haha

Adding the extra reach ranks might be a good idea tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

but then what will it be

hero cadet? or just go up in rank names

[pulsar cobalt]

Just like the old reach rank names

So Legend > mythic > noble > eclipse > nova > forerunner > reclaimer > inheritor

[stoic rapids]

didn't that guy cheese it through bot bootcamp?

or at least boosted quite abit

[stoic rapids]

anyways, seems like the only reward is the nameplate, will see if 343 is gonna say something about it

[obsidian wyvern]

they said there will be another reward, and yes it was that dude

[pulsar cobalt]

[obsidian wyvern]

it's that shred shift

also does anyone else keep getting dedicated server issues

[fickle drift]

Pretty much anyone that’s already in onyx or close to it would’ve abused it before it got removed

[obsidian wyvern]

main menu has given it to me about 9 times today

[stoic rapids]

maybe, I would still dislike anyone who does that

[obsidian wyvern]

it's fair game tbh

[gusty elk]

To me if he cheese it shouldn't count but that's Just me

[carmine fractal]

of course bot bootcamp is a true testiment of skill

[hasty zinc]

I used it to grind out my BP, I couldn't care less about my career progression

[gusty elk]

BP ?

[hasty zinc]

battlepass

[gusty elk]

Ah

[stoic rapids]

guy didn't play it normally

[hasty zinc]

yeah I didn't do anything weird with it

I just played regular games

[stoic rapids]

he and a few friends dragged out the games to like 2 hours farming kills and player score

[gusty elk]

I play alot of btb I stop playing rank modes

[stoic rapids]

and some unpleasent rumors I would rather not spread

[hasty zinc]

yeah that's a little excessive lol

I just like how fast the game went in bot bootcamp

[calm fiber]

For server moderation concerns, please message @bleak yoke.

[steady jolt]

Please don't directly call out users in chat, you can send any relevant details to modmail

[obsidian wyvern]

gold general 1, I'm so close to hero

[stoic rapids]

same colour

[carmine fractal]

i think the most easiest way to move over this is dont talk to em and ignore them.

[stoic rapids]

I guess, we'll see if ispiteful gets there soon

[mighty estuary]

I’ve met ispiteful

[obsidian wyvern]

he said he thinks he'll get there on the weekend

[carmine fractal]

alright?

[obsidian wyvern]

@pulsar cobalt you getting dedicated server issues by any chance

[mighty estuary]

Yeah it was a louddd party 😆

[pulsar cobalt]

Uhm what mode you trying to play ?

[obsidian wyvern]

fiesta

[pulsar cobalt]

I can try

I play couple games and see if it happens to me

[obsidian wyvern]

alr thanks

[opaque gyro]

Can you report server members? Some kid is spamming our ranked VC

[carmine fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/master-chief-uw-u-gif-20951888

wonder when we will get the fem chief dlc

[calm fiber]

For server moderation concerns, please message @bleak yoke.

[carmine fractal]

on a more serious note opinions on possible campaign dlc?

[opaque gyro]

Nice, whoever popped that, thanks

[honest spire]

Yeah just got kicked from a game then got server issue message

[carmine fractal]

i see it unlikely but i always have hope to see someday

[mighty estuary]

@opaque gyro can I join you guys?

I’m really useful

[carmine fractal]

super pro elite mlg player.

200 years of btb service.

[mighty estuary]

You know what I meant, I could use a full lobby on rank

Yah I wish lol

[carmine fractal]

i know i would typically ask in lfg most times.

[mighty estuary]

Do they do ranked?

[opaque gyro]

@mighty estuary stop trolling bro you arent funny

All ill say

[mighty estuary]

All I’m hearing is “duh this guy’s beaming me” I think you’re the troll

All I’ll say

Looking for a 4th?

Now they’re calling me trash 😂

What a friendly community, they take their anger out on me lol cause they’re losing

😂 😂 now they don’t think I’m from Iraq are you fr

[opaque gyro]

“Probably” and no its because you came in here making weird noises and spamming disconnect/reconnect when we asked you what was going on you didnt respond

[mighty estuary]

😂 they’re calling mods “trash”

[mighty estuary]

All I did was snore

[winter flame]

youre joining the vc of people who just wanna play a game and annoying them, grow up

[steady jolt]

Take this to DMs or something please

[obsidian wyvern]

@opaque gyro you can make a VC that limits it to 3 people iirc

[mighty estuary]

Yeah take this to dms

[obsidian wyvern]

or you can lock the VC and only let certain members in

check #lfg-and-voice-chat

[carmine fractal]

what are the limits of quantum physics?

[opaque gyro]

Nice to know, thanks!

[mighty estuary]

@opaque gyro can I join now stop trolling

[wild sleet]

We have a VC here? Wow I’m oblivious

[carmine fractal]

prime reason why i dont use any server voice channels

[chrome vortex]

this server has always been a place to play halo with people as well as talk to them about it

although primarily US players use it

[winter flame]

Nate should be able to /kick him and lock it

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[opaque gyro]

We got it figured out its ok

First time ive had that issue on this server to be honest

[carmine fractal]

he got deported

[chrome vortex]

dude left the server

or got kicked

[eager sandal]

be aware of void wars

[obsidian wyvern]

I wonder who void wars is

[carmine fractal]

probably a clan member

[wild sleet]

Void Wars sounds like some Bollywood Star Wars

[carmine fractal]

nah ive seen them on mcc....runs a petty rp clan lol

[opaque gyro]

Mashed destiny 2 and star wars together…. Cmon man this is halo lol

[winter flame]

honestly just lock your vc and invite people in the #lfg-competitive channel. randos always join not knowing what your doing or playing when youre in the middle of a game

[carmine fractal]

their gt too

[opaque gyro]

True true

[gusty elk]

I'm willing to join anyone on btb when I get off work

[opaque gyro]

Just wanna say you guys are beautiful

[winter flame]

you too 😄

[eager sandal]

👌

[wild sleet]

Nicest thing anyone has said to me

[glad copper]

[carmine fractal]

we are all stud muffins here friend

you beautiful majestic creatures

[stoic rapids]

why did I only just find out that Gamepass gives a discounted price for halo infinite credits

[obsidian wyvern]

it's not much tbf

[stoic rapids]

10% is still something

[wild sleet]

Man I just elbowed the wall so goddam hard giving my dog the biggest belly scratch

[carmine fractal]

heres your unique 2 cent discount code!

[fickle drift]

10% racks up if you’re a frequent spender

[amber mirage]

Any discount is a good discount

[wild sleet]

So I should get a 60% discount for the bundles I purchased in Infinite

[carmine fractal]

dont think they stack

[wild sleet]

Dammit….

[amber mirage]

What do you mean?

If you're buying credits at the discounted price, it doesn't invalidate the discount on shop bundles

There's no stacking done in the first place since they're separate transactions anyways

[carmine fractal]

ultimate discount code super treasure hunt

[fossil skiff]

[carmine fractal]

collect 20 for a super rare discount code of 60% off limited time and vat apply.

[wild sleet]

I remember when EB Games gave you a Pin if you purchased a code for Halo Infinite Credits

[hasty zinc]

I wish I had got my hands on one of those

I also ast some point need to get the MCC and H5 challenge coins

they're so cool

[carmine fractal]

halo points

credits? req points new stuff which one are we thinking

[hasty zinc]

I have no idea what you're talking about

[carmine fractal]

commendations too many currencies itll drive me to a breakdown

[obsidian wyvern]

you wanted this too right

[hasty zinc]

yee, there's quite a few pieces I would love for my collection

[obsidian wyvern]

I can try get a spare to give to you whenever I can

[steady jolt]

Think I have one of them

[obsidian wyvern]

probably, you came down to the ms store last year didn't you

[idle rain]

Did the feedback channel get changed?

[carmine fractal]

gold plated chief helmet with cat ears

[hasty zinc]

you don't happen to have a sealed McFarlane Halo 4 Didact Deluxe figure laying around do you?

[obsidian wyvern]

aren't those sold for like 100s

[steady jolt]

Nope

Couldn't make it down

[steady jolt]

What feedback channel?

[obsidian wyvern]

yikes

[idle rain]

I might be misremembering. I'm looking to post a feedback for controller input on the MCC

[carmine fractal]

i think if anything halo waypoint is your place

for that stuff.

[smoky token]

the waypoint forums have been gone for months

[steady jolt]

You can drop that into #1076337363770417172 and add any appropriate tags

[carmine fractal]

theyre gone?

[hasty zinc]

so when I check ebay they're always like 500, but then look at this

maybe I'll just have to live on ebay for awhile

[carmine fractal]

if the forums are gone where is the next best place for halo discussion?

[steady jolt]

Here

[carmine fractal]

apart from this discord

[hasty zinc]

next best place is to scream into the void

I recommend a pillow or blanket

[coarse geyser]

Smash

[steady jolt]

This is the only official discussion space, now that the forums are gone.
You can chat about Halo on any other social Space you like - Reddit, Steam, Insta, Twitter, Threads, Facebook...

[pulsar cobalt]

Gotta be careful they not fakes haha

[hasty zinc]

I don't know how big the bootleg Didact figure market is

[carmine fractal]

is there a known reason as to why it was shut down?

[hasty zinc]

there was a post about why

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/forum-farewell

there was more info on the forums before it shut down but I don't have that right now

[pulsar cobalt]

Problem is the forums were just getting less and less active and more people were here

[carmine fractal]

understandable but isnt a valid reason

maybe more places to discuss halo but doesnt justify it being shut down and read only.

[pulsar cobalt]

And forums these days are kinda old school tbh haha

[carmine fractal]

hmm i still use them frequently for certain games but well maybe i should try other places.

[oak cave]

hello

[carmine fractal]

hi there

[oak cave]

hola

Why anyone wants a place to see the opinions of a halo fan is absolutely beyond me 🙏

[oak cave]

yes i am

[carmine fractal]

source of discussion

[stoic rapids]

what do you think we're doing now?

[carmine fractal]

read what they said

[stoic rapids]

same

[opaque gyro]

Crazy to think some day discord will get dusty and forgotten

[carmine fractal]

it happens

[gusty elk]

Hopefully not for a long time

[bronze breach]

I will buy out discord and replace it with irc

[jade gust]

I'm just here to push my agenda of more Grey Team content because I miss those three characters so much

[smoky token]

discord is 10000x better than IRC ever was

[bronze breach]

[smoky token]

it’s only usage these days is in super niche circumstances to organize help requests for certain communities

[bronze breach]

Back when I played fan web pokemon games and chats were all on a particular network

I got network banned 7 times for 3 months each

[candid solar]

Skill issue

[bronze breach]

Good times, but was so immature back then

[pulsar cobalt]

You still immature now

[bronze breach]

True true

[vapid siren]

Just say fuel rats

[smoky token]

😭

[bronze breach]

🤡

[hasty zinc]

I use IRC every day still. I'll join you

[candid solar]

My first internet chat group was a SFW Furry IRC back in 20...11?

[inland marsh]

man it makes no sense why 343 dont push forge more. actually advertise the mode and use it to compete with Fortnite creative. heck, even the h3 playlist that's in the game now. WHY has that not had ANY marketing???? do they not want players to return and try it out? (also how could they find it when the playlist thumbnail is of Fragmentation

[bronze breach]

Need more than 12v12. Not chaotic enough!

[gusty elk]

42 vs 42

[wild sleet]

Still think they should push for more Classic BTB maps in Squad Battles

[safe harness]

I think the guy was talking about actual marketing, not posts on twitter or waypoint. Like I see ads for fortnite on youtube sometimes, but I've never seen a Halo ad on youtube

[obsidian wyvern]

50v50 nothing less

[hard marten]

1000v1000

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm debating playing ranked or waiting for the random french buddy I made yesterday and playing with him in hours. ranking up without him feels like I'm betraying him lol

[winter flame]

ideally i would like:
BTB = 12v12 or 10v10 (10v10 on Breaker and Scar)
Squad Battle = 8v8 or 6v6
Non-ranked Arena = 4v4 or 5v5 (5v5 on Cliffhanger, Behemoth, Launch Site)

idk how hard it would be to implement this though

[candid solar]

Halo but Planetside 2

[inland marsh]

yes. I know the mode is there. but at looking at that picture can you tell it is 8v8 and H3 maps?

because you cannot.

[bronze breach]

I'll join you in ranked

👍

[obsidian wyvern]

do your placements dark

[wild sleet]

I’ll play Ranked when I’m not lagging

[inland marsh]

343's marketting team could have been smarter with 1. making the thumbnail a three split image of the three h3 maps in the playlist 2.doing even a simple 30 second clip of the mode to pop onto social media and 3. actually naming the mode 'classic btb'

[winter flame]

i feel like if they called it classic btb people would expect it to be too close to... classic btb which its not

[wild sleet]

Not really Classic BTB if I’m Sprinting

[amber mirage]

I didn't actually realize there were only 3 maps, but more maps are always welcome.

Exile and Longbow would be fun.

[winter flame]

the header image is fair feedback but otherwise i dont think they did a bad job. its a playlist with 3 maps in it, overhyping it would be a mistake

[hard marten]

should i get on halo or no ?

[amber mirage]

Do you want to?

[slim zealot]

What kinda question is that respectfully 😂

[inland marsh]

the company has this toxic aversion to even mentioning the word 'classic halo' as if in saying so negates all the work they've ever done. both Classic Halo and Modern Halo can exist simultaniously.

[hard marten]

😭

[wild sleet]

Play Halo if you want to.
Don’t play Halo if you don’t want to

[obsidian wyvern]

isn't Europe and oceania like the worst combo

our distance is the biggest isn't it

[inland marsh]

yup game is completely dead here

[pulsar cobalt]

Europe isn't so bad

[winter flame]

a playlist in infinite with 8v8 and some old maps is not suddenly classic halo. why set false expectations?

[obsidian wyvern]

nah I mean to play with in terms of ping

[pulsar cobalt]

US servers play alright tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

also idk why but all my games are like 70 ping today, I have my matches set to local too

[wild sleet]

I think when I was in a Europe server I felt like I was floating

[slim zealot]

That's same for me too, tho i live in the middle of nowhere in texas

That's why i can't play that game. I play on an xbox one S and high ping + 30 frames. It's not possible for me

[obsidian wyvern]

for about a month, unless I'm playing with friends, my games haven't been above 10 ping

[wild sleet]

Yeah when I solo it’s 12ms but with my mates from the US it’s 140 or higher

[winter flame]

343 have supported one of the greatest collections of classic video games, made a new classic multiplayer for it (Halo 2AMP), added multiple classic weapons to Halo 5, have added map remakes to Infinite. But all because they wont label an 8v8 playlist "classic" (which its not) they have a "toxic aversion" to using the word?

[slim zealot]

The thing is, MCC runs fine on higher ping, infinite requires less ping

[wild sleet]

Depends on the game, had rockets in CE take 2 shots to kill someone because I was in West Central US

[winter flame]

he probs had overshield

half the "hit reg" issues in halo ce are probs just people not understanding OS in that game

[obsidian wyvern]

ngl the white OS in infinite is so obnoxious

[winter flame]

the other half are probs people not understanding the pistol has spread that increases if you dont tap fire very carefully

[wild sleet]

Or the RNG with the Flamethrower damage

Man do I want to play Halo or get jumpscared by some Necromoprhs

[slim zealot]

I love CE

Had a 56 kill game in Oddball CE the other day

[rose forge]

I love CE but the library mission got me hating my life

[slim zealot]

I haven't played any of the campaigns since i was a lil kid

[rose forge]

Oh

[slim zealot]

I know what you're talking about though

[wild sleet]

I love CE for the story & also that Retro feeling playing it

[slim zealot]

Me and my brother played CEA on the 360 years back and it was so fun

He quit when we got to the part after you crash land onto the ring though 😂

[fickle drift]

So i cant get forge to work neither can my friends

[slim zealot]

Good thing i had 3 other brothers to take his place

[wild sleet]

Is The Exchange ever gonna get updated the Featured Items I swear it’s been the same since they’ve dropped that update for H2A cosmetics

[fickle drift]

Is there a reward for hero?

[bronze breach]

Us.. permanently camo

[wild sleet]

Someone told me a Coating but I’m not entirely sure

[bronze breach]

👍

[wild sleet]

I’ll believe it when I reach Hero

Eventually…..

[bronze breach]

Master chief core at hero rank? 👍

[fickle drift]

The nameplate looks really cool ngl

[worthy abyss]

i keep on getting a dedicated server error every time i try loading into a game ?

[wild sleet]

It’s cool how they let us display it on our Spartan, shame my Spartans wear chestplates that block it

[obsidian wyvern]

first mcc game, 1 quitter and 1 afk, nothings changed..

[bronze breach]

That quitter and afk was me

[obsidian wyvern]

second game, 1 griefer already

[slim zealot]

Y'all have that problem where you're 3 letter ID won't show up on infinite at the start of the game on your nameplate?

[dreamy vortex]

Is anyone having an issue getting games? It keeps saying there was a problem with the dedicated server in halo infinite matchmaking

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[worthy abyss]

literally just commented that

[obsidian wyvern]

you from EU?

[worthy abyss]

yee

[delicate basin]

actually didnt get to ask whether they fixed the clan tags for mcc bc reach still uses the 3 character tags instead of 4

[dreamy vortex]

No I’m NA

[worthy abyss]

just tried for infection and super fiesta greeeeeat

[wild sleet]

Still 3 character tags

[obsidian wyvern]

oh wow JIP is a thing for quitters

[wild sleet]

Honestly I just use S14 the character tag I’ve used since H3

JIP I Insta quit I ain’t joining a Loss

Okay hear me out, Ricochet Helmet on the Rakshasa core

[coarse pawn]

Anyone want to play flood indundation

On mcc

[torn fractal]

hey everyone. may i just ask a qns unrelated to halo, just cause there's active people on.

is it just me or is disney plus website not working? i tried on chrome and firefox and it's just loading circle blackscreen

on phone is okay but aaaa i want it to work on website too

[coarse pawn]

Is your connection secure?

On website

[torn fractal]

yeah im playing league of legends and youtubing just fine. phone and pc are on the same wifi network, phone disney+ app is working

it's just so weird...

[coarse pawn]

Are you signed in on website? (I don't own Disney+ so yo might not have to)

[hard marten]

same thing happened to me earlier

[hasty zinc]

I was able to sign in

but you're in a different region

so YMMV

[obsidian wyvern]

it wasn't working for me yesterday night tbf

[torn fractal]

i am signed in. if i go to login disney plus it wont work too. but the home website where they ask me to sign up is woring fine

[hearty flame]

Just logged in and loaded up HIMYM so yeah

[steady jolt]

Login and streaming works for me

[hearty flame]

Probably regional

Could be just AS maybe

[torn fractal]

i searching for whether disney plus is down rn and i cant find any info 😦

[obsidian wyvern]

it's infinite that I'm having problems with today

[hearty flame]

I think the biggest problem I have with playing Infinite personally is I worry so much about personal performance that it really turns me off of the game

[coarse pawn]

If I happened for another guy earlier I might just be an error that will be fixed later

[hearty flame]

Like does anyone else feel that progression is so strongly attached to personal performance in a match that it sucks the fun out of it?

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[coarse pawn]

Sometimes

[obsidian wyvern]

but I don't care about progression much so

[fickle drift]

100 ping when my matchmaking is set to local

[hearty flame]

I feel like if I don't get that MVP XP or top-half XP then I'm just not being properly rewarded for my play

[fickle drift]

I get lower than that on us servers on rocket league

[obsidian wyvern]

same I'm only getting 70 ping matches and dedicated server issues

[coarse pawn]

Anyone want to play flood indundation on mcc?

[obsidian wyvern]

oh look another 75 ping match

[calm fiber]

[bronze breach]

The question is... do I go Macdonald's

[hard marten]

yes

[bronze breach]

Tough decisions

[hard marten]

go to macdonalds

[pulsar cobalt]

What other places are near you ?

[bronze breach]

Pepe

[hard marten]

are they still serving breakfast for you?

[bronze breach]

But they take too long

Like half hr

Dont think so. Was going to order 2 fillet o fish and 2 large fries

[hard marten]

i’ve never had a fillet o fish

[bronze breach]

Dont ask... I got a big appetite 👍

[hard marten]

but i know people like them a lot

[pulsar cobalt]

Go for 2 fillet o fish, bic mac, wrap and chips and a nice flurry 😂

[hard marten]

hopefully the ice cream machine works

[wild sleet]

2 double quarter pounders, 20 box of Nuggets & a Mc Flurry

[bronze breach]

Will buy it Monday at lunch. That's too much of a big order and I'll miss my bus

[wild sleet]

Wow I made myself hungry off to the pantry

[pulsar cobalt]

All this food talk has made spectral hungry haha

[torn fractal]

sg has a new bbq mcspicy and it's soo good

[fickle drift]

Idk how aussies do it, I'm prolly not gonna play until they fix the ping

[obsidian wyvern]

fr

out of maybe 20 or so games I've played today, 2 maybe 3 have been on normal ping

[wild sleet]

As an Aussie I’ve played on American servers for so long I’ve gotten to the point where I’m just used to it, if I can drop around 40 kills in BTB then I’m fine, but I can also admit at times it does get frustrating

Also whoever mentioned bbq mcspicy how dare you I’m now carrying food back to my room 🤣

[hearty flame]

Never met someone who calls it MacDonalds instead of McDonalds, Mac's, Micky's, Micks, Don's, Macca's, or McSquicks

[obsidian wyvern]

who the hell calls it dons lol

[hearty flame]

Or "The mac"

[wild sleet]

I have to say McDonalds or I’m confusing people when I say Maccas

[bronze breach]

I'm multi tasking doing legal work and typing quickly on discord on mobile so there'll be typos xD

[hearty flame]

You've never heard someone call it Don's?

[pulsar cobalt]

Must be a us thing

[obsidian wyvern]

never

[hearty flame]

I can't speak for US but I can speak for CAD

[wild sleet]

All my mates I play Halo with in the US tell me to pronounce water

[hearty flame]

Wo ah

Uh li el bo el o wo ah

[bronze breach]

Time for me to file an application in the UK supreme court to block Activison merger because they will harm my gaming experience

👍

[dreamy vortex]

I give up on trying to play Infinite right now. I got a couple of matches this morning but couldn’t anymore just recently. Keeps saying “There was a problem with the dedicated server”

[hearty flame]

How will they do that?

[amber mirage]

Aside from McDonalds, I've never heard any of these. The only other name I've heard people call it is Mickey D's.

[hearty flame]

I don't see how the ABK purchase can harm your gaming experience

[hearty flame]

Ah I forgot that one

[bronze breach]

No clue, but a group of gamers done it in the US and the supreme court rejected it.

Time for to try in the UK!!!

[pulsar cobalt]

the water thing is mostly a londoner thing😂

[obsidian wyvern]

everyone I know just says mcds

[hearty flame]

Why don't you want it to pass in the UK? Lol

[bronze breach]

I will prevail where they have failed!!!!

[obsidian wyvern]

as in MC dees

[hearty flame]

Even if it doesn't pass in the UK they're still going to buy it and deal with the repercussions or anything they need to do to make it legal

[obsidian wyvern]

my dad says it like that and it legit annoys me

[bronze breach]

I'll answer your question with my question.

Why do you want it to pass?

👍

[hearty flame]

Answering with a question is a fool's game

[wild sleet]

I’m Australian and I get asked to say it

[hearty flame]

I'm not the one actively taking steps to support or impede it

[pulsar cobalt]

Well 😂

[bronze breach]

[silk charm]

An Aussie! in a good way!

[hearty flame]

I want it to pass because I think it's funny

[bronze breach]

You do realise I'm just being sarcastic/trolling right?

Idc if it merges or not

[hearty flame]

Msft owning ABK would, indeed, be funny

[amber mirage]

I want it to pass because I don't want to have to pay Activision prices to play their games.

[hearty flame]

No yeah I got that

[amber mirage]

I dont really care if it doesn't pass though.

[hearty flame]

The only downside to it passing is Bobby wins

[amber mirage]

He wins regardless

[bronze breach]

He will probably get laid off tbh

Get replaced by Phil Spencer

[hearty flame]

They already said they'd keep him on

[bronze breach]

Oh lol

[amber mirage]

Phil Spencer actively working towards his demotion

[wild sleet]

I have a Xbox, PlayStation & a Gaming Laptop for certain games on Steam, merger doesn’t really bother me

[bronze breach]

[pulsar cobalt]

I thought bobby was gonna step down once the deal is done

[amber mirage]

I have too many consoles and not enough desk space

[silk charm]

I need a pc, game selection is very lacking on xbox

[wild sleet]

I feel this

[hearty flame]

Bobby was probably likely to step down if the merger didn't go through and retire because he's pretty done with running ABK

[bronze breach]

Business 101 how do you crush the competition?

You buyout the competition

[hearty flame]

Microsoft isn't competing with ABK in any way

[pulsar cobalt]

Can't wait for this to happen all again with take two, ubisoft, EA

Looking foward to it

[hearty flame]

Inb4 "How aren't they competing? ABK has CoD, Msft has Halo"

To which I say, not much competition there

[bronze breach]

They should at least invest 1 billion on each of their first party studios

If they are willing to spend 69 on the merger

[hearty flame]

At a certain point, money's not going to help

[bronze breach]

Lack of talent?

[hearty flame]

Msft first party developers have tons of talent. They just have no passion for anything they develop and never will.

[steady jolt]

...

[wild sleet]

Getting a PC is worth it if you’re willing to invest into building one, I just got a Gaming Laptop just for something temporary

[steady jolt]

That's so unfair and untrue it's no even funny

[bronze breach]

Maybe. I have a strong feeling Gears is going to be shelved after Gears 6

[hearty flame]

Okay it's a bit of an overgeneralized statement, but it's mostly targeted at the suits behind the devs

[silk charm]

Ah OK, I am considering buying a pre-built, and I'm making sure it's not cringe

[hearty flame]

I also don't think it's completely unfair or untrue because if it was, we'd still have a campaign team

[steady jolt]

That has nothing to do with your statement

[hasty zinc]

the campaign team didn't quit or fire themeselves

you said the DEVELOPERS have no passion

[hearty flame]

Exactly. You don't just disappear an entire campaign team if you're passionate.

[hasty zinc]

I'm so confused

[hearty flame]

Yeah I misspoke. But the suits behind the developers don't let the passion thrive.

[bronze breach]

It was super effective!

[dreamy stirrup]

you act like it was an easy choice.

[steady jolt]

They weren't let go becuase there's no passion

[dreamy stirrup]

let's not make those kinds of statements in the future.

[steady jolt]

I can't even with that

[dreamy stirrup]

it's incredibly unfair and so off base it's not even funny.

[steady jolt]

Half the tech industry gutted themselves

[hearty flame]

I already said I misspoke

[steady jolt]

Again, nothing to do with passion

You misspoke and went back and doubled down

[dreamy stirrup]

your backpedal was a doubling down and still incorrect.

so i'm asking you to not make those comments again and move on.

[bronze breach]

Is layoffs in tech still happening or its stopped now?

[dreamy stirrup]

Still happening.

[bronze breach]

That's ashame

Hopefully the sector recovers in time

[hearty flame]

I wonder if it ever will tbh

With the way tech is developing you'd wonder why it took a hit in the first place

[bronze breach]

It will. For gaming industry, games will become more complex, expensive and much longer to develop.

So companies want to hire the best talent to develop games of the future

[hearty flame]

The issue is more bodies doesn't help, you know? A 200 person project can get developed much quicker and with higher quality control than a 400 team on the same project, so why grow when it will hinder you?

[torn fractal]

well im on call w tech support at disney plus now

[hasty zinc]

ARE YOU TALKING TO MICKEY??!?!

Mickey moonlights as a call center tech support agent

[amber mirage]

What's their day job?

[wild sleet]

If I ever hear mickeys voice when I’m calling support at Disney I’m burying my phone

[hasty zinc]

making fat stacks

[dreamy stirrup]

i'd wanna talk to donald

[hasty zinc]

I went to disney as a kid and we went on a tour of his house

[wild sleet]

I never went to Disney land, we don’t have one here

[hasty zinc]

I was very creeped out because we were just trapsing through his house while he was off working

[bronze breach]

Never went to Disney and never went to the cinema in my entire life. No joke

Missing out on the finer things in life

[steady jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/disney-princess-evil-queens-customer-service-gif-8219571

[hearty flame]

Like you've never been to a movie theater?

[bronze breach]

Nope. Never

[hearty flame]

That's crazy

[dreamy stirrup]

[fickle drift]

Hello. How are you?

[amber mirage]

Before last year, last time I went to a movie theater was about 12 years prior

[bronze breach]

Good. Just waiting for the bus home

[steady jolt]

I was actually looking for a Disney character tch support gif, that one was just funnier haha

[candid solar]

It's weird to play Fallout 3 a ton considering I haven't touched it in nearly a decade. I didn't realize how small the map actually was.

[small geode]

Donald Duck was really relatable, to me at least

[bronze breach]

Hoperully trains are back to normal next week

[hearty flame]

Doesn't it take like 3 minutes to walk from one side of the map to the other?

[candid solar]

It's not that small, but I remember it being bigger.

[wild sleet]

Im closing that opportunity window

Im behaving tonight

[hearty flame]

Ope it takes 40 minutes to run across the Capitol Wasteland apparently

[candid solar]

Yep

Sounds about right

I'm seeing anywhere from 11 minutes to an hour with some change

[wild sleet]

I think I have Fallout 3 in my files when I got Fallout 4, might give it a download

[hearty flame]

The Commonwealth is smaller and it shows

Which isn't a bad thing

[candid solar]

Half of the Commonwealth is also water.

It also doesn't use its space as effectively, IMO.

[hearty flame]

But I just wish downtown Boston didn't make my 3080 and 5700x weep

[candid solar]

... I run it off a 1080 on high and my computer doesn't give a damn.

[hearty flame]

Must be all the mods?

I'll have to look into it but it nerfs my FPS to 60

[candid solar]

I usually run with a modlist in the mid 80's.

[hearty flame]

Could be that I'm running ultrawide 1440p at 120fps tho

[candid solar]

I'm starting to think that 1080 just hard carries and is the true peak of graphic card technology

Anyways, Fallout 3 handled a city pretty damn well. It helps that DC actually has legal restrictions on building heights and thus everything can be samey and reused though.

The idea of having it be a plethora of block by block cells traversed via subways improves its sense of scale.

[pulsar garden]

finally after so long i have record store owner achievement in mcc

[hearty flame]

Fallout 3 Subway is mentioned
Can't help but remember the Fallout 3 subway is just a man's hat and the man runs under the map

[candid solar]

(There's laws/ordinances on the books stating that buildings in DC cannot be taller than the Washington Monument, at least not without direct approval)

[bronze breach]

O.o

Sound absurd

[candid solar]

It's actually a really good idea.

It democratizes the skyline and emphasizes the importance of the structure.

[hearty flame]

Is that why people were so offended when the web-headed menace terrorized it?

[candid solar]

That's New York.

[hearty flame]

(He has never seen Spider-Man Homecoming)

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[candid solar]

Mmkay.

[bronze breach]

Dont understand no way home

How on earth did electro know peter parker is spiderman. He didnt take of his mask in the 2nd film

[candid solar]

I do wonder if they'd approve a skyhook in DC if we ever figure those out though.

[hearty flame]

It is assumed he put 2 and 2 together when he entered Oscorp's database just prior to becoming pure energy

[bronze breach]

Likely but he never met peter parker before? I cant remember lol

[hearty flame]

No, he never did, he just knew his name. Electro also says he's from Queens, so it makes sense Oscorp has information on Peter like where he lives but not what colour his skin is

Because Electro later states, "You help poor people, you're from Queens, just thought you'd be black"

[bronze breach]

Either way. Those new timelines created by curing the villains, probably got pruned by he who remains.

[hearty flame]

The movie takes place after Loki though, so likely not

[bronze breach]

Oh

[hearty flame]

That's how Tobey and Andrew get in, their timelines are no longer pruned

[bronze breach]

Make sense.

Just hope spiderman doesn't get rebooted again

[latent nebula]

People complain about how much Halo's Bundles are, but $34 for a bunch of stuff when MW22, you're paying $20 for a skin and a gun blueprint, Halo's MTX's are a little less offesnive than COD's or Fortnuts

[hearty flame]

You're looking at it from a relative standpoint. From an absolute standpoint, it's all atrocious.

[elfin glacier]

@latent nebula neco ghost?

[hearty flame]

One game's sins aren't absolved because another game sinned harder

[elfin glacier]

a fair point

though at the least infinite is far from THE MOZT PREDUHTOREE SYZTEM as the fanbase likes to claim

[candid solar]

It's more presented as a reaction regarding how it's weird that Halo gets called out harder over MTX when other companies do it far more pervasively and far more aggressively in all aspects.

[latent nebula]

yeah

[elfin glacier]

nice (nice)

[candid solar]

While I'm not really a fan of Halo's MTX model and especially not a fan of its pricing (I think it's backslid regarding some content, or outright gotten worse), half the reason this gets pointed out is due more to the inconsistency in expectations.

[elfin glacier]

The least charitable way i would put Infinite's mtx is "overpriced and a bit clunky"

is it predatory? No more than your average grocery store when it runs a sale or something

[hearty flame]

I think it's seen this way because CoD seemingly has more customization content by way of operators inherently looking almost completely different from others, and each operator has 4/5 free skins total on average. CoD also has more supported live content, and more content in general, and is vastly more popular, so more people overlook this

[elfin glacier]

it's absolutely far less front and center than a plethora of games. There's no on-launch splashscreen directing me to the store

[hearty flame]

CoD also now offers skins that are just completely way out there like rat heads, superheroes, bunny heads, that diversify the content a lot more than what, at a glance, looks like metal arm piece #5

I'm glad Halo doesn't things like that though

[candid solar]

I want

Bird helmet

Mark VII bird helmet

[wheat spear]

this keeps happening to me during the last 15 min :C Came here to see if anyone else is being given the same message. Every time I try to connect to a game! grrrr

[obsidian wyvern]

so halo 3 scout

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah you're not the only ones dw

[elfin glacier]

pistachio

[hasty zinc]

was this armor effect always uneven like this?

[obsidian wyvern]

doesn't look like that for me

[hasty zinc]

hm

back shot

[candid solar]

I said bird, not nut

[obsidian wyvern]

beak

[amber mirage]

It's both

[hasty zinc]

it's like a sparrows beak

[obsidian wyvern]

I've just joined a cops and robbers custom game, I hope it's not rp

[languid yew]

I think it’s because we know that 343i can do better, MCC is right there. Also I think it’s very fair to criticize infinite, seeing how at launch, the shop was literally the only thing completed

[pulsar cobalt]

Didn't this go around the arm completely

[amber mirage]

Ah yes. MCC: A game with no post-launch income. A perfectly sustainable business model.

[candid solar]

A) MCC is paid from the ground up with no post-purchase income.

B) Never said it wasn't fair.

C) Seems pretty completed to me.

[obsidian wyvern]

i think it's a RP game

[candid solar]

Personally, I don't think a company should put its hand in those 20th century pistol mousetraps so they can blow off a few fingers, but hey, you can if you want.

[queen remnant]

It's a miracle that Microsoft/343 is keep doing updates or even fixing MCC without any additional purchase apart of Xbox live (or gamepass core) and the initial purchase of 30€

[languid yew]

I can agree with the argument for point A, but saying infinite at launch was complete is kinda crazy considering we’re still suffering from engine problems today

[candid solar]

You.

Not we.

[obsidian wyvern]

we

[languid yew]

Are we playing the same game? The same game that has trouble implementing game modes because of in-engine limitations?

The same game that runs sub-optimally on its own console because of its terrible core utilization?

[hasty zinc]

dunno, was going to buy them but it would bug me

it already rotated out anyway 😦

[languid yew]

I love infinite but saying it’s previous state 5ish months ago (15 months into the games lifespan) was anything more than a mess is kinda disingenuous

[candid solar]

Guess not, considering I've had no major issues since launch that weren't a problem I couldn't fix from my own chair.

[obsidian wyvern]

settings issue??

[candid solar]

And any issue I had got fixed, and I'm not really in the business of whining about things that already got fixed.

[candid solar]

Not a console player.

That said, that one I get.

[obsidian wyvern]

it didn't only affect console

[candid solar]

Weird, never affected me.

[obsidian wyvern]

lucky

[candid solar]

Guess I'm just a magician.

I still have the menu pop up but it never changes anything.

[twin leaf]

Did I come back to people talking about the setting resetting glitch

[candid solar]

No.

[twin leaf]

Understandable

[pulsar cobalt]

I really want those rak shoulders to release that were in the S4 trailer really bad

[candid solar]

For whatever damn reason, every system I've ever used is apparently bombproof.

"Oh no Halo's network settings are sooooooooo bad guys"

Trenchbird getting sub-110 ping with no real packet loss on a middle eastern network through a VPN; "Y'all hear somethin?"

[twin leaf]

Last game I played I got like 3000 ping no joke

[dreamy stirrup]

rookie numbers

[candid solar]

^

[dreamy stirrup]

i've had over 10k ping in games before

not halo

anyway

MCC patch is out 🙂

[candid solar]

Watching your ping go up like a Saiyan's power level is a right of passage for gaming.

[safe dawn]

lol

[twin leaf]

When we getting the MCC content updated for Xbox?

[safe dawn]

soon

[smoky token]

apex predator

[vapid siren]

man i just had a great idea for r/place this year cause it seems it's back to business as usual, and i realized our color palette is horrid

we had like double to triple the colors last year

[safe dawn]

awwww

[hasty zinc]

I was going to mention that earlier

very few colors this year

[candid solar]

I blame the Government.

[dreamy stirrup]

probably thought you could cause less mayhem with less colors

[vapid siren]

i was gonna propose a beam emitter that shoots up and see how far people will let it shoot

[hasty zinc]

boy were they wrong

[candid solar]

This just changes the color of the crowdsourced... Well, I can't say that here.

[vapid siren]

we dont even have the color grey]

like... man

[hasty zinc]

man is grey?

[twin leaf]

Bro killed the wither

[safe dawn]

boof

[hasty zinc]

little grey men 👽

[pulsar cobalt]

👽

[bronze breach]

Jiren?

[candid solar]

You see, little gray men are cave dwellers.

[novel tangle]

i think thats rookie numbers, ive peaked 52,000 ping on titanfall 2 once

[candid solar]

They are pallid, big-eyed creatures with eyes designed to collect as much light as possible.

Ergo, they are cave-dwellers.

[pulsar cobalt]

Those little grey men be scouting the planet 😂

[bronze breach]

The life pondering question. Are we alone in this universe.

[hasty zinc]

very very very unlikely

trillions upon trillions of galaxies with trillions of stars with trillions of planets, we aren't that lucky to be the only ones IMO

[candid solar]

Humanity is alone in the universe. Greg the spontaneously generated self-identifying planet is an outlier and does not count.

[bronze breach]

[lost jewel]

chasm is a horrible map

[hasty zinc]

you're a horrible map

[twin leaf]

We just need to find the halo rings now

[hasty zinc]

💥

[candid solar]

A dyson sphere would be more useful.

[hasty zinc]

remember when scientists thought they found a dyson sphere

[candid solar]

Honestly, that'd be a terrifying thing to find.

[bronze breach]

Need dat alien tech yo

[lost jewel]

thats true

[candid solar]

Because watching a star get Dyson Sphered would mean it happened decades, centuries, millennia, or even eons ago.

[lost jewel]

are u playing infinite right now?

[bronze breach]

Looks like you need a cup of joe

[hasty zinc]

no I'm typing to you

[candid solar]

IIRC they decided it was a dust cloud, right?

[lost jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/meer-plus-one-mulan-plus-one-meer-plus1-and-thats-a-plus1-gif-26257120

[lost jewel]

thats our problem

[hasty zinc]

dust cloud, giant rocky ring etc etc nothing confirmed though

[pulsar cobalt]

I find it funny people think we are the only ones haha

[bronze breach]

You know what there is probably an asteroid on earths trajectory somewhere in the universe

[hasty zinc]

I mean to each their own I guess

probably a rogue planet or rogue star as well

[candid solar]

The only thing I never understood about Dyson Spheres is that they seem like a relatively technologically inefficient way to get that energy.

[vapid siren]

i mean we are gonna collide with andromeda

[twin leaf]

Stars crashing into earth sounds fun

[candid solar]

If you have the tech to make a reliable dyson sphere, you problably have the tech to make your own star.

[hasty zinc]

I wish I could freeze myself to when we collide with andromeda

[bronze breach]

Need to google that one sec

[candid solar]

Because that's basically what a self sustaining fusion reactor is.

[vapid siren]

the only issue is the earth and sun will be gone by the time that happens

[bronze breach]

Meteorite or asteroid?

[hasty zinc]

I'm still mad at the name of the galaxy after we collide. Milkomeda

[candid solar]

Neither, galaxy.

[hasty zinc]

like, the Andromeda Way would be so much better

[bronze breach]

Before that happens, I will cast away my mortal form and ascend!

[candid solar]

I mean, a lot can happen in 50 years.

[hasty zinc]

sun will still be there

Earth on the other hand... ehhhh

[candid solar]

Our tech's still actually increasing at a pretty high rate, especially computational. You might not even need to be frozen, but instead digitized.

[hasty zinc]

Didact was right

[pulsar cobalt]

Wouldn't it be great freeze yourself and wake up in 1000 years just to get taken away by aliens 😂

[bronze breach]

There is 1 big weakness of earth..

The dead outweighs the living.

Aliens weaponizes the dead. 👍

[candid solar]

k?

[hasty zinc]

digitize the entire earth

[bronze breach]

Composing? Great idea

[hasty zinc]

hologram planet

[candid solar]

Holographic meatloaf, my favorite

[hasty zinc]

low calories

[candid solar]

Same great non-taste

[brave trout]

umm a little bit random, but did anybody see that r/place is back, just wanted to in form but now i got to get back to helping to build a fanta

[bronze breach]

Or make everything chrome

[candid solar]

Honestly, if I had to choose a way to be perpetual, I'd want to go with Titanfall Simulacrum.

Or a SOMA style situation.

[hasty zinc]

I'd want to be a little robot that just drives around spouting catchphrases from 90's sitcoms

[candid solar]

I never really found the concept of non-jumping, but rather cloning, consciousness to be all that horrifying, so people treating SOMA like some big ethics/consciousness question was always a little funny to me.

[bronze breach]

When can I buy a plot of land on Mars 👍

[hasty zinc]

https://lunarembassy.com/product/buy-land-on-mars/

[candid solar]

The 3000 Trenchbirds of digitized consciousness

[obsidian wyvern]

nightmares

[hasty zinc]

I take it back, I don't want to live in that world

[candid solar]

"Who doesn’t love Mars? Elon Musk (who has 5 acres himself)"

Nope, buying property on Venus now.

[bronze breach]

Too late, I bought the planet as my garage

[candid solar]

I bought the atmosphere

[bronze breach]

[candid solar]

So... Do we actually get to choose which part of the planet we buy as acreage?

I want it in writing.

[bronze breach]

No one has any rights to sell it anyway

[candid solar]

Yep.

[hasty zinc]

what atmosphere

[candid solar]

I mean it's pretty much a scam anyways

[amber mirage]

Why is the Lunar Embassy selling land on Mars? Seems like it would be out of their jurisdiction.

[hasty zinc]

no idea

[candid solar]

... Venus has an atmosphere. What?

[hasty zinc]

oh I thought you meant mars

[bronze breach]

Imagine going to another planet. If life is there, they probably think it's an invasion and start a planetary war

[candid solar]

Mars has an atmosphere too.

[hasty zinc]

yes I know mars has an atmosphere

but barely

[candid solar]

Enough for 60mph winds.

[hasty zinc]

not enough to save it

[amber mirage]

It technically would be an invasion

Foreign entities showing up uninvited

[bronze breach]

[candid solar]

I've seen that movie before.

[amber mirage]

Sounds like a lot of movies

[candid solar]

Hmmmm yes today I shall use my spaceship to drop a bomb from within the atmosphere

Within the flight range of the freaky alien birds

Well, Pteradons.

[bronze breach]

Next day. They find out where you live

[candid solar]

The Na'vi literally already knew where humanity lived

In terms of on-world

God, I hate Avatar.

[bronze breach]

Cbb to watch the second one

[muted rose]

Not much better than the first imo

[bronze breach]

Any more predator or alien movies out?

[muted rose]

Prey is the only one that comes to mind

I think it’s on Hulu

[bronze breach]

Oh. I think thats a prequel

[sly night]

Question: Does anybody ever play Halo 3 on MCC and sometimes the flood takes 0 damage from melee? Combat forms specifically.

[candid solar]

That's a legacy issue

[obsidian wyvern]

I swear they said they removed pit slayer from ranked

[hasty zinc]

done and done

close to finishing BP too

[safe dawn]

nice

[candid solar]

I don't know how much I want to finish the weekly tbh

I don't like Highlit Steel much.

[pulsar cobalt]

you might regret it maybe one day you wanna use yoroi with highlit steel😂

[candid solar]

How's it look with BIG HAT YOROI?

[pulsar cobalt]

What kawari ?

[tired wraith]

halo fud is an awesome film

[candid solar]

Yes I literally always mean Kawari

[pulsar cobalt]

I can take a picture if you want

[hasty zinc]

[fickle drift]

I just played someone that was a plat rank on my team and the only way I knew that was because they were gold not too long ago

It looks like silver way too much

[tender pollen]
