cuz its cool
And on sale for 5 bucks
Halo 5 the only one I don't have lol
Interesting $5
Eh ill find someone
i only play 2v2s or 1s on PC but that's it. Usually can't find games in h5 after a while
It'll be on MCC eventually
No
Nah lol
It cant
Why not?
Way too big
Might as well while it's cheap
Just buy what you want to play we can't help you
if you want halo 5 get it
if you want MCC get that not much we can do
I dont want it tho
Then why do you wanna buy it
Sell blood till you can afford everything
MCC will continue to get updates for years to come halo 5 is dead. Easy choice
I need asurance over doing the right thing
only you can determine what's best for you
Anyone else experiencing mm issues in Infinite?
On another note, why is there hardly ever games with h2A on MCC? Such a beautiful game
You are right
Well its time to get halo 3 odst
What’s up with the servers today
I think Halo 5 will see a resurgence because it's one of the Game Pass core games
I've been playing for like 2 hours and had no issues. Now I get dedicated server issues when I try to q
I’ve been having 100 ping all day
Yea for the past 5 years
Infinite has went down 2 times last 2 days for me. So I just switch to mcc
cant get a match either
Hm, maybe the servers are down then.
i can search and get a game but once it starts loading i get "Unable to Start Dedicated Server. Please try again."
Yeah I'm playing MCC until i get a Xbox Series X and I move out to atlanta
Where i live currently, the connection and internet is terrible
Same
Same x2
I got the series s. I'm a playstation guy at heart. But wanted Forza and halo. Series s is a great console love how small it is
Likewise
lol the have 33 they can share lmao
Oh me too!
i asked bard if infinite servers were down
Yes, it appears that the Halo Infinite servers are currently down. There have been reports of players being unable to connect to the servers since around 11:00 AM PST on July 20, 2023.
343 Industries, the developers of Halo Infinite, have acknowledged the issue and are currently investigating the cause. They have not yet provided an estimated time for when the servers will be back up.
In the meantime, you can check the Halo Infinite server status website for updates. You can also follow 343 Industries on Twitter for the latest news.
Here are some of the possible reasons why the Halo Infinite servers are down:
Technical issue: There could be a technical issue with the servers that is preventing them from functioning properly.
DDoS attack: The servers could be under a DDoS attack, which is a type of cyberattack that floods the servers with traffic in order to bring them down.
Maintenance: The servers could be down for maintenance.
I hope this helps!
Even if its a halo server its still self promo which is not allowed lmao
Sucks that they went down. I was locked in lol
Infinite is hard to play on the S by itself with 30 fps
I think so, yes
we need pelicans like BAD
I think it's 60fps minimum I wanna say. 🤔
yeah just got into rat trap slayer
ping is 70 though gross
Nah on the series S, 30 is the max you can get
oh wait
I saw someone play on the series S its 60 lol
Nope just looked it supports 120fps at 1080p on the S
yea yea wait how the heck bruh 😭
yea ur right
S can go up to 2k though
idek how to do that tbh with you, mine always sets to 30. Prolly the monitor i play on?
Halo MCC 🤝🏻 Halo Infinite
maybe change your hz in your settings lol
Um idk I haven't looked. Is there a graphic setting?
I've tried, they're all greyed out tho
The Xbox one x is the 30fps cap console
Yeah it's so annoying
I wonder how many parents bought the wrong one
Bruh imagine a 10 year old throwing a tantrum at Christmas 😭😭
Wait till you see the names of TVs, phones, or literally any other electronics.
Xbox One*
Xbox One X runs Halo Infinite at 1080p 60fps, or 4k 30fps.
Xbox Series S runs Halo Infinite at 1080p 60fps, or 900p upscaled to 1080p at 120fps.
Check to see if your monitor supports a 60hz option, it should have one. Most monitors/TV's do especially if they were made in the last like 10 years.
You got to enable it in your monitor settings if it's not enabled by default, kinda weird it'd be defaulting to 1080p 30hz
If you had the Xbox One S it runs at 1080p 30fps
sony devices 
Probably basically none considering Xbox One X's haven't been sold in stores brand new since like 2019 or early-mid 2020.
cause production for them stopped years ago, way before MS even stopped making Xbox One S's.
Series x came out in 2020 tho
Yea late 2020, XONE X's stopped in early-mid 2020
or at least that's the last time I ever saw one being sold as new both online & in stores.
Yeah but stores don't stop selling them right after they stop making them
plus nowadays kids probably send amazon links to their parents for christmas stuff
Re-read what I already said, supply for them had long disappeared in stores before the Xbox Series X ever hit the market.
last year my daughter gave us a list of items on her wishlist with prices next to them 
rare for me to agree with apple
https://twitter.com/Dexerto/status/1682045754402021377?t=E0_4-f-ANZwyDQ1neMK2NQ&s=19
some had where you could buy them next to it as well
Plus the series x had stock issues so parents might see the xbox one x for sale and wanna get it as soon as possible
wonder how many kids will have ChatGPT create a christmas list for them
ok at this point you aren't reading what I'm saying lol
Used Xbox One X's were still being sold in stores, not new ones afaik
even now you can still find used XONE X's in a couple stores
Okay?
so..why would a parent buy a used item over a new one?
except for saving money lol
so your point kinda doesn't make any sense, it's like saying "parents might get confused and buy there kid a used xbox 360 in the store over a xbox series x"
It's not at all
just gonna stop it there cause I'm not even sure what your arguing about anymore
so basically Apple is going to remove iMessage & Facetime from all apple devices in the UK or?
No they're basically threatening the government
how long was I out?
Exactly 1 trine
is it possible to get a adblocker on iphone ?
I know you can read
4 years, 7 months, and 12 days
it's being investigated
I'm sitting here in ranked, not getting anything because I keep getting that issue
I really hope the whole lobby gets that message or I'm pretty much leaving so many teams to 3v4s or smthn
halo is ong bad now the campain has no split screen and only 4 joinable slots for co-op
when has it had more than 4
reach
That's not correct
?
reach was up to 8
But guys.
It was 4
343 bad. Don't let the facts get in your way.
ngl 8 player pve/coop halo sounds awesome
there's 8 player firefight now
They added that to MCC
4 but with each of the four split screening for a tottal of 8
Tha's still not correct
Someone give this guy mod?
lol
He's obviously above us all.
Halo has never had support for more than 4 players in campaign co-op
ong ong
oh yeah. i dont have 8 friends that play halo but still cool
that's where the halo server comes into play
It was 2 player splitscreen or 4 in total lol. 4 player coop split screen and 8 total has never been a thing for campaign
I can already imagine Reach co-op campaign struggling along with 8 players
it struggles with one player 
8 player laso for real
well 343 if your reading this make co-op 1-8 players please
lol
where's Irene?
Busy, think she's doing 8 man reach LASO.
For firefight they have added this in MCC 😄
At least 20 players co-op
yesterday my boys and i were tying to finish up our legendary run but a 5th guy wanted to join bigger co-op
maybe with 8 players we could have saved Reach
i got a match 😮
strike anywhere or normal?
Needed our boy Noble 13 on the job
Noble Six-2
My day is going so bad rn. No oats in Sainsbury’s, mam threw out the packing paper I was keeping, dropped a screw on carpet and can’t find it, now my pc won’t load steam or restart
Noble Six-2_final_final.pdf.jpg
Noble six had a twin like in avatar and now taking his place
.bmp since that's what he was after the planet fell
it's perfect the way it is
Played a hour long flood firefight last night glad they added it in
I need a good messenger bag for work, I wonder if there are some Halo ones
IIRC there was an Infinity one awhile back
this one?
Yeah
Wife got me mine from ebay a year or so back
Hello everyone! How are you all in this fine morning/afternoon/evening!
Yeah I really like it
boy I sure hope my finger doesn't slip and I add it to the cart and accidentally checkout
that looks so good
hello sam
The inside has a nice padded spot for a laptop
I've been talking about the issue all day, but this was more of a map problem than a server problem 😔
grip?
Because it's a Elite S2
WHY IS IT GREEN THO
I swapped the stick from my Halo Elite S2
oh right
Dont tempt me to play! 
anyone else having server issues?
no
Nope
same
I saw you in the menu for almost 2 hours without going into a single match, you sure?
Yes, my server is not giving me the food I paid for!!!
hi
i've never played halo before and i really want to try halo ce, but it's $10 which i already don't have, and i don't know if i can have someone get me CE seperately from the master chief collection, i don't want someone to spend $40 for the whole collection
MCC is $10 rn
not for me
Ah Xbox store is $10
I’d agree
the halo bags are nice but idk the LTT bag has em pretty beat imo
that thing is honestly pretty goated
I had a solid match rn, few people quit but I think just cause skill discrepancy
I played a few matches and just left it open
it really is
my wife can attest to that
yours too lol
So who here thinks 343 should add pelicans and crashed ships to forge
Yeah surprisingly pelicans aren't in forge
Please add a pelican and those crashed ships
GPU go brrrrrrrr
Had dedi server problem but it seems intermittent now
I'm also not getting 70 ping matches anymore
Worth playing now?
yeah
Time to hop on then I guess
Watch out for middle aged men who talk too much 😂
Imagine not having the disk
I don't remember the dmr pin
https://twitter.com/HaloGear/status/1682012488966053889?t=ctJC1Yzz7PeBeJxWPyHhYg&s=19
No Season 4 pins.....
But are there season 4 pens?
afaik there's nothing for s4
The official Season 4 MOPP gear
tbh doesn't bother me, the shipping prices were stupid
What if you need to jot a note about season 4
I do hope future seasons go back and add armors to cores that aren't Mark VII.
New Rakshasa helmets or something.
Ghillie Rakshasa
I hope mods get added to xbox
It'll be a Spartan Locke themed backpack (Actually Hyperius themed)
Preorder now and get a spartan Locke finger necklace
all ik is i'll be dripped af at worlds with my jacket

that thing goes way too hard
Entrenched?
I love mine. Barely had it off since I got it
Same with the denim Pride one
do people actually buy these pins btw
well those aren't his fingers afaik so
Yes
I'm a pin collector, but I only bought one. Shipping costs made it very difficult
how much is shipping?
Initially, because it was being shipped internationally, shipping was more than double the price of the pin. They eventually had the pins show up on the UK store, came down to 4.95. Didn't let you get all 4 pins at once though
damn
£34.14 was the initial cost for 1 pin. After the change, came down to £19.94
Only time I've ever really been unhappy with the store tbh. Everything else has always been pretty decent
International shipping sucks.
That’s why we need to hire sharks as postmen. They’d work for fish. And pat is a good name for a shark.
Shipping cost is just so much
Happened to with Bungie store with some pins awards, even when I'm buying it in their european store
They'd get distracted and eat fibre optic cables
community playdate tomorrow
just realized that once they add campaign ai to forge we can recreate firefight
What's this playdate about?
it says it
They play Infinite
it's literally just Uny and a guest hanging out and playing matches.
🙂
ah thanks
I def wont try to join Uny's party before they start matchmaking
I wonder if they'll do squad battles too
Dangit, I have to be somewhere at that time tomorrow
Think I need to go see the doc about my hand. Still not gotten better
I miss gaming :(
I suppose I didn't help myself by handballing 12 25kg cement bags and 70 3kg cinder blocks
The garden rebuild has started
hi
are u hulk
i can't do one
Faaaar from it hahaha. My first jobs were in retail and barwork - carrying boxes of jeans and and lifting multiple boxes of beer and helping carry in kegs. I'm just used to heavy lifting
stckr shredded

55 pounds isn’t that much. You probably lift that much more often than you realize
unless my controller weighs 55 pounds I dont
I still work at the supermarket, 6 years now working on produce which is 10-15kg per crate, my back hasnt got better since the 2 weeks its been hurting. may have to quit this job unfortunately due to health as much as I want to keep it
what did he do
last 2 weeks its been hurting, I never had any problems before... i think the lifting finally taken its toll
combine your two jobs and become a Produce Paralegal

o
im a kid
just FYI but if you can, please try to remember to turn off the reply tag for staff 🙂
ok
this thing over here.
if you're on PC, you can hold shift when replying
white theme is an eyesore for me.. why do you two torture me... 
what did I ever do to you!
i need to get my extension to enable dark mode on all sites but thats long
does squad has a seperate stat page and does not affect regular btb?
need to see how it plays
And?
need to avoid some sweaties in regular btb thats why. 
and see how the halo 3 maps plays too
Imprisoned for his crimes
if its any consolation i try to chill out in BTB but sometimes i gotta combat tryhards by being a tryhard
i typical remember the names and position of tryhards and go for them though
feels much more satisfying to ruin someone's spree then just go round killing whoever
i did once try this against ubernick in halo 3 and fail every single time
halo 5 husky raid is wild

@winter flame I did that as well, while trying to maintain my kd xD but i stopped playing after 2 matches lol
Try not to worry about kd that much lol
Yeah, they can take care of themselves
It's actually crazy how much 70ms makes a difference, the game feels so nice now
hello
Ever since career rank came out I stopped caring about kd and just go for kills
You should still care about kd. Send them a birthday card or call and say hello once in a while
I just hate seeing negative difference lol
So I try to maintain positive at least by 5 kills
ranked will teach you that you can go negative and still contribute to a win. the time to be passive is when your team is getting baited, not when your kills are low
In Gears 5 ranked, if you lost a match, you go down considerably lol
That's before they opted to get rid of the visible ranking system in favor of numbers
All that graphics and rank system was wasted
also if i just looked at my kills and adapted my playstyle plainly because i had low kills i would have wayyy fewer wins. there's so many games i've had a bad start but i keep playing what i think is the best strat and i turn my stats around through aggressive play
especially in social
there's a time to slow things down but your stats alone shouldnt be the reason
For me, when I play aggressively, I end up dying most of the time haha
14 player ffa in Gears 5 was like a mini btb
Very fun to play
it would bother me more if my kills were lower then the average then my deaths being high honestly
If you get fifty kills and 49 deaths you still win.
I only play gears for horde mode and sometimes pve haha
less then 13 kills in a social game and i would question myself much more then if i had high deaths
but people are really sweaty in the pvp mode
other stat i always recommend people look at is damage dealt. if you are landing shots but not getting finishes because of poor team mates, your damage dealt will be high regardless of your deaths
In Gears?
Yeah
if i die a lot in ranked its usually someone on my team has really low damage dealt and that's probs why it felt more like a 3v4
I do it too, I try to wall bounce and outmanuver them. Something you cant do in halo lol
Highest I went in Gears ranked was diamond 2
Solo
I don't really touch ranked in games anymore
there's people who are just naturally really good at games but for most i reckon you have to play a ton to enjoy ranked
if im playing less then twice a week i just stick to team slayer and occasional quick play
mostly cause i just like BR starts. feels relaxed
Im not good at ranked but like the challenge
the only reason i like ranked is br starts
True, feel this 100%
i like the sbmm in ranked but its punishing if your rusty
i kinda think infinite would be perfect social if the bandit was buffed in terms of AA and replaced the sidekick
Yeah
Why not just play team slayer ?
you still get sidekick+AR
like half the time
and its not map specific either
big maps you would expect BR starts but it doesnt work like that
spend half ur time on forest pushing the enemy and getting 2v1'd cause of sidekick starts
I wish Squads had BR starts
yah i think i lost interest in squad battle after a few games because of sidekick starts. bandit or BR would help it a ton
its an odd decision not to go bandit like 12v12
Sqauds is ar and sidekick i think
I was hoping at minimum larger arena maps would get bandit starts for Quick Play
Is it just me or is there a delay after throwing grenades?
but Squad battle getting sidekick starts makes me think they probs arent even considering that
I don't notice it, are you on high ping?
i've heard other people say there is
i probably have noticed it but i cant remember
I'm hoping if there's any new bundles for Tuesday
Nope, the servers are good now but sometimes I can't shoot after throwing a nade
Odd, I'll look out for that.
Might be something similar to the jamming issue if it's an actual bug?
Man i played some HALO:CE multiplayer a few minutes ago, i was instantly 20 years younger >.>
are all btb maps have bandit as secondary instead of sidekick ?
or there is a map with bulldog as your starting wep?
Only fiesta and Infection have the shotgun as a starting weapon. Fiesta is random, though.
The new CE networking improvements are S tier
Took me like 45 Minutes to find a match, but hell was it worth it :D
Imagine wasting your time to join this discord just to say that 🥴
Don't care didn't ask plus you're British
I joined like week ago and asked other questions, so go be mean elsewhere
I'm not being mean what ??
Um
They're referring to the other guy.
oh, lol sry
lol
Not quite sure why i got attacked 😂
idk, you written your message exactly after mine and then it got deleted
also I have newbie leaf near my nickname
Yeah it was towards bani not you just bad timing haha
Hey, we british are good folks
so...
Is bulldog ultra rare? I was scavenging every map I was on and found it only on one wall, and it was glowing rerd and unaccessible.
They're long gone dude...
RIP
Btb or arena?
I think stckr gave him the old boot 😂
If its glowing red then someone has it
it'll be either a bulldog or a heatwave
btb
all the btb maps have a bulldog/heatwave pad on both sides i believe
you can go into customs and find them
From the top of my head it's on scarr and fragmentation at least
where...
honestly halo ost and footage of bulldog is the only reason I became interested in infinite and franchise overall
and like, I had my hands on it 10% of my total playtime
its honestly harder for me to explain where they are then it would be for you to just set your movement speed to max and run around each btb map in customs
kk...
its on highpower too
random chance the pads are heatwave or bulldog but they're on most maps
i think they're on all btb maps
On fragmentation it's on the door of the active camo spawn or sometimes at a weapon rack at the side cliff entrance
yeah i think each btb map has the ability to spawn every single weapon
probably
it usually shows you where all items are on a map before a match begins
thinking about it there isnt many weapons lol
Halo doesnt need a lot of wweapons they all just need to fufill a role
many people would disagree with you
but even then, theres a lot of weapons halo has had in the past which can be brought to infinite without making other weapons redundant
As opposed to those railguns that run on rubber bands?
I'd like to see the railgun return preferably the arclight version from h5. I could lose most of the h4 added weapons, but I did like the railgun
If you played Gears 5, I was referring to the embar. But I think that's more of a hybrid between a sniper and a rail gun tbh.
Rail gun generally, yeah I love to see return
Maybe in the future. Who knows
bruteshot, railgun, grenade launcer, plasma caster, a carbine and I'd be reasonably happy.
I have a hard time imagining what the Brute Shot brings to the table that the Cindershot doesn't already do, except better.
Fun? That the weapons work differently? The cindershot is closer to the plasma casters base fire. Brute shot jumping? Having a more powerful melee on a shotgun/grenade launcher combo
The differences in the weapons functions are super minor, and as I said, the Cindershot does everything the Brute Shot except better. The difference in melee damage has always been super minor too. As far as Brute Shot jumping, can't say I've ever seen much use for it.
😂
The cindershot is closer to the plasma caster, then the bruteshot. Even then the cindershot is mostly used as a pestering drone with the alt fire. I want back to basics boom.
6 shot grenade launcher with shots that ricochet is how I would describe the Brute Shot and Cindershot. The Cindershot just does it better because it kills faster and has an alt fire option to set it apart.
Sending cindershot rounds directly over a wall and back down to get someone behind cover is fun
I'd also say the Plasma Caster does everything the Brute Shot does, but better. Difference is that the Plasma Caster's alt fire also sets it apart from the Cindershot.
Dying to a cindershot is so frustrating sometimes, it just throws you about and blinds you at the same time
also really slows you down so you can't move
It's so annoying
That gravity effect from it does make your game go out of whack now and then
Cindershot just wasn't the play, not sure why 343i went for it with Infinite at all ngl
the only thing that needs erased is electric nades seriously
Fun weapon though
Ehh it's kinda mid more often then not.
Aye, this sounds like a good idea!
sounds like a awful idea lmao
ctf in halo is almost like tf2 capture the intelligence it takes way to long and is just annoying
its so back and forth it mentally hurts
By request:
How to be a god with the Cindershot
💖 472
My game crashed and when I got back on I had a little surprise ban waiting (first one)
The cindershot is such a cool weapon
rip
I think its really strong, it might not be as easy as rockets but you can get more value from them
its 100% better than rockets in the right hands

Why have they only done weapon skins for unsc weapons?
Cross-core would make all the difference
Pretty sure quite awhile ago they was looking into but nothing heard since
I mean, the only thing we can customize is unsc weapons
true
Maybe in a map other than Chasm. I can never have fun there.
I don't see why it'd be a bad idea to have weapon skins for other weapons tho
Other then it taking more time
It's not a bad idea.
Mangler skins would be awesome
Hard no. Plasma Caster also bounced but it mechanically operated with a different secondary function and shorter bounce range.
add Mangler Nerf skin and retroactively grant it to those who redeemed mangler nerf code
But the mangler is already nerfed Aegis why would you want more nerfs
I was playing squad battle earlier and forgot Disruptor DOT was gone 😦 was waiting for a guy to die after I stripped his shields with it
no wait social skirmish
yeah its sad it got remove
i always hit them run off then it just does nothing such a pointless change
it used to be my favorite infinite weapon
Plasma Caster was a hybrid H2 Brute Shot/HR Plasma Caster, Cindershot is more a hybrid H2 Brute Shot/H3 Brute Shot/Unique third weapon without prior form.
I'm really hoping 343 has made the S5 BP a banger
S4
hopefully falcon?
Hopefully that and the rest of the reach items
Because if duplicates are being resolved and shoulders should be 1 slot and coatings and that are only gonna be 1 slot also means the BP is gonna be so much better
challenge swaps and xp boosts should not be in the BP
@fossil skiff https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/hubble-is-able-to-spot-boulders-blasted-loose-by-the-dart-impact/
the BP is so fast even without the XP boosts and challenge swaps are not really needed anymore due to challenges being so easy
Infinite still not working huh?
I wanna see low-poly weapon models, just for fun

@copper garnet Wait your in here? Damn.
Hey guys
I wish we could use double xps for career rank
I have like 60 of them, mostly from me spamming the rockstar collab
I could see that working if they add the other reach ranks to it
I dont think ill ever run out, but id rather use it
uh
why is my name zany seal lol
Did you have a weird name before ?
Has anyone here had alt+tab and windows+tab switch before? How do I fix it?
Double xp for career rank would be so good
Would give me something to use my like 500 xp boosts on
Now that has me thinking, is there a limit to how many xp boosts a player can have saved
I just had two dots and the character for sun in weeb
doesnt seem like it
I should find out
It wouldn’t really be fair. We horded 2xp because we play the game enough not to need to use them
People probs wouldn’t have used them if they knew they’d work for career rank
How is that unfair
Both xp boosts and challenge swaps are pretty much redundant considering you can blast through the battle pass without them
Double xp boosts being applied for career rank seems like it’d put them to good use, I mean look at Halo 5
Halo 5 grind is crazy though
would someone happen to know why since the new season, absolutely none of the nodes on a forge map work anymore?
if its worth noting, the runtime budget is only at 3%, meanwhile the simulation budget is at 29%
Double XP being time limit based is why I've never used them, cause that's what's unfair
Since match time varies
Also dependent on matchmaking times
does anyone know how i can make a infection gamemode in halo infinte so that players only have one life?
You only live twice as it is
Instead of it being timed it should be a certain amount of matches
Mhm
has anyone else’s games freeze while ur in the middle of playing custom games
Hello
I don’t know if it was fixed but it freezes in matchmade games
Whatever happened to game pass perks for Halo?
Perfect timing
FFA vampire ball makes sense.
Team vampire ball does not.
because other people didnt know to save them
we didnt save them for career rank
I slurped em up
I slurped up everybody's gamepass perks for Halo
its just giving random people a way to boost through the ranks pretty much
also means you can pay to rank up double as fast
And? People didn’t know the bundles would come back at a discounted price
the fact our free double xps are useless because we play the game a lot is not really an issuee
it doesnt bother me at all
i have hundreds and i would much rather career rank be the same grind for every player
If they don’t have xp boosts it’s not harming their progression
double xp is literally just a way for people who play the game less to get through the battle pass faster
It’s like halo 5
its good for that. people can buy more which is there choice
getting through the career rank faster? nah
Yes that’s how it works in that game
you earn you xp for your rank the same as everyone else. hoarding 2xp or buying them shouldnt change that
You get xp boosts and you use it to increase the xp payout from matches that go towards your spartan rank
the whole point of the career rank is a superficial way to compare yourself to others
So why are we trying to gatekeep people trying to grind it out
so yes it does affect everyone if you can use 2xp
gatekeep lol
the xp boosts are to help people who play less get through the battle passes man. no logical reason why you need to grind up the ranks faster
That’s what this is, if you don’t use double xp for your personal rank that’s fine, just don’t stop people like me who want to use it, it’s just pixels and doesn’t harm you in any way whatsoever
people who play the game less will miss out on content
what will you miss out on if you cant grind up a rank supercially faster? clout?
its just pixels so why do you care about getting higher number faster?
Well why do you care about others reaching it before you?
literally isn't what 2xp was made for, so that reason alone is good enough not to let you use it for career rank
why do you care about reaching higher ranks faster???
its just pixels bro
boil it down to that and your argument falls apart
If it’s just pixels let me get more of it
it its just pixels stop caring about it at all bro
the fact you want more of it shows its more then just pixels
and thats why you cant use 2xp on it lol
This whole game is pixels what’s your point lol
bro you literally started the whole "its just pixels"
i think thats a stupid argument
im just saying it because you said it lol
Challenge swaps serve almost no use since the actual weeklies are super easy to do, and the xp boosts are redundant since you already gain a lot because of the post game bonuses along with the weekly challenges
you care about your rank, other people care about their rank. people wont care if they feel other people can buy rank faster. idk whats hard to understand
you might not mind people buying rank
buy you care enough about the pixels to rank up
2xps exist to help players through the pass, they still serve that purpose
And what happens after that
they are useless if you play enough you dont need them
They just sit there
I’m proposing a use for them
a use that undermines the value of pixels on a screen to other players that you claim is just pixels even though you care to grind it faster
Undermines? I thought they were just pixels
My guy xp boosts were in H5 and they increased your xp for your spartan rank
Look Nova if they're just pixels you wouldnt care to grind them. So you yourself see them as more then just pixels. If everyone could just choose their rank you wouldnt grind it would you?
That’s not the same thing lol
343 decided everyone ranks up the same. play the game, rank goes up. Spending money cant increase your rank. That's entirely reasonable to me
2xps compromise that approach
Hey by chance, does anyone remember if Xbox ever used to have an attempt at cloning God of War?
Like Killzone, Resistance, and Haze were comparable with Halo. Forza was comparable with Gran Turismo. Infamous was comparable with Crackdown. Blinx the Time Sweeper was comparable with several 3D platformers. Etc.
Anything like classic God of War that Xbox published or had as an exclusive?
So what about halo 5?
what about it? is 343 not allowed to change their approach to something?
You don’t have to pay to get to 152, but if you do it’s there - it’s optional
The xp boosts can be bought
so that undermines this attitude how?
The more we talk about this I think the less we’re going to come to a middle ground
i mean the middle ground is you like how it was done in halo 5, i prefer the approach in infinite
im just explaining the logic to it
You would prefer that there’s no interference when grinding career rank, I would prefer that there is for those who want it
indeed 🙂
I won’t keep going on because this will just go in circles
i think we covered all bases for both sides of that argument, have a good one 😄
did these people just argue for like 2 hours, then tell each other to have a nice day? my faith in humanity has been restored
a rare occurrence in the Halo community
Impossible.
The argument will start back up, I assure you, and it will be just as goofy and inconsequential.
nah, i dont think it will.
Im kinda sad that we cant use XP boosts to increase career rank cause otherwise Im never going to use them
i think the 2xp things are a neat idea, but i don't think they work very well right now even for their original intended purpose. Because lobby time eats away at it instead of gameplay time, people with worse connections get less out of it
Im sitting on like, 200 XP boosts and 170 challange swaps because I never use either one.
I dont think I have since Season 1.
same.
Its not even that, its just that playing normally gets you levels fast enough as it is.
You have to actively not play the game even a little bit to even get close to falling behind.
i mean, for sure
It was even worse back when we had 6 month seasons.
it's a compound problme.
Same. If you could trade them in for credits... oh boy.
i kinda wish we could get another game based off of noble team, like a game where you fought rebels as the old noble 6, just seems like a cool idea
Hmmm similar but nope
That’s what I was saying
Another team game yes, but Noble Team specifically, no
Who’s Miku
I do wish infinite had more marine variants, and maybe republic commando style squad orders. Imagine plowing through banished forces and giving fellow MK7 Spartans orders.
That PS5 is beyond overpriced even including 2 games
That retorical or actual.
that's an expensive router
Actual
Hatsune Miku is a proto-Vtuber, in essence, a fictionalized character to explain the use of early AI in music.
Similar to the Gorillaz in essence.
Oh ok
I got my series x, with a headset, controller, extra joycon jackets, and a controller jacket.
Modern day Cortana, but anime
I believe the term was "vocaloid". Shes still rather popular to this day.
"Artificial Idol" that was the title. "AI" lmao.
Help me guys, what should I reply to the "why getting an Xbox if everything is coming out on PC?" argument?
Some games are genuinely better on console
No need to upgrade every two months. No backlog for parts.
PC ports aren't the greatest.
Jedi survivor, cough
honestly, sure. i would prefer noble team, but any game like reach would make my day
I don't agree with the PC upgrade every 2 months part
@smoky token honk
Feels like it with me, but then, my box isnt custom.
Its not the parts, its the software.
I built my PC in 2019 and I haven't had to upgrade since
mimimi
I also don't understand why people say Xbox doesn't have any GOTYs and when you say Halo CE, Morrowind or Oblivion they either laugh or ignore you
Not a recent enough year I guess
Halo CE revolutionized the fps genre, so idk what they are on
Boy do I miss the 2000s
So ive wondered this for a long time, but why does halo 3 and halo 3 ODST get crossplay but none of the other games do, like what does halo 3 have that the others dont?
just seems a little goofy
A terrible difficulty
Just kidding
The reason also escapes me
i mean, halo 3 did have a good warthog run, so maybe they didnt want platfrom issues to get in the way of the beautiful co-op warthog run?
halo
Series X is a lot of power in a super quiet compact PC that “just works” if you like playing games with controller. also can play older console games that never came to PC.
I’m not set on keeping my Series X because I have a One X and PC parts keep getting cheaper, but the Series X is a good main gaming machine. Imo no $500 console is worth it if you have a good gaming PC and most people looking at either console don’t have a gaming Pc.
Nah they don't actually care about sentimentalisms
There is something about Halo 3's programming that just allows crossplay that they haven't figured out with the other games
Or they just don't care
im gonna guess thats the reason
It’s literally just more challenges with the other games to get it to work
If it was easy it would be done by now because of how highly requested it is
I see a lot of people talking about Halo CE and Halo 2 with 4 players
But programming difficulty to make it work aside, I really think that would make the games too easy
They were never desgined around 4 players, so having double the limit would just put the enemies at a disadvantage
is the MP for Halo Infinite F2P?
Yes
yeah, on steam it is
Beep beep
It is everywhere
does it matter where I download it
Not really
Nope, either on the Xbox family or on PC
i hope we could get a game set before reach, like before the covenant, probably wont happen, but to me it sounds like a nice idea
Before the Covenant narrows our options quite a lot
Since the Covenant was created in the year 800 and something before Christ
i didnt mean it like that, i meant before the covenant started attacking earth
So that leaves us with 2 options:
-Cavemen game
-Human-Forerunner-Flood war game
How often do yall run into afk spinners in MCC?
Just had one a few games in a row, was curious if reporting them did anything lol
Steve Downes & Jen Taylor are coming to Dublin Comic Con on August 12th & 13th💛 @SteveDownes117 @jentaylortown

All you Dublin folks
Can anyone confirm if Microsoft is still bringing 360 and og Xbox games into Xbox One and Series backwards compatibility or if they are done with that?
id have to guess their done with it
Sad if they're done
And if acquiring Actiblizzard lets them bring back their 360 games then PLEASE
im so dumb, i thought you meant halo games lol
if its just Xbox games in general, yeah, most of them probably
but with halo games, they probably wont because of the MCC
Nah I was asking general
Halo specifically all of them are already backwards compatible since Halo 3
so yeah, unless your playing the most unknown indie game, it will probably get backwards compatiblity
All the Spiderman games made during Activision's time with the IP are not owned by Sony, theoritically they could be brought back
probably not since even though they didnt make or own those games or spiderman at the time, unless they get permission it isnt happening since sony does still own spiderman. considering sony and microsofts rivalry, it probably wont happen
Depends on who they need to ask because Sony only owns Spiderman's movie rights, not his game rights
actually i think sony owns the game rights and disney owns the movie rights
nvm thats just wrong
If your whole team quits in mcc, can you leave without a ban?
probably not
So far I've gotten afk teammates and leavers, I've got one good match on MCC so far, this is a tough game lmao
I'm pretty sure they already are compatible, aren't they?
lol, wish microsoft would do more about that, but i dont play competitive so i cant say it affects me.
I'm just playing social lol
I don't think you would get banned if you do it once in a while
The minority of them
i meant competitive as in any pvp at all. (i suck at pvp, so i only play pve)
Fair nuff. I think I'm pretty good, but eh, old games and high ping are not a good combo
Still old engines
Fax
Kinda like how coop high ping there is button press delay, where as modern pve games just have damage delay instead
I wasn't expecting reviving the servers for the old CoD games would bring as many people as it did
i would hate any kind of damage delay, i would be so angry if i just died after not knowing that i just got sniped lol
If someone shot you, nothing happened, and out of nowhere you died 10 seconds later
Not exactly, sucks either way tho
yeah
scarabs are just big hunters, prove me wrong
Hey guys welcome back to my starting a riot tutorial
Start the time in 3, 2, 1, and go
Halo 3 is a terrible game
(I’m joking I’m kidding I swear)
How’s everyone’s night
Or day depending on where it is you live
Or evening or afternoon
good.
Interplanetary War.
Operation TREBUCHET
Operation KALIDASCOPE.
PROJECT: ORION.
He is partially right
Scarabs are controlled by Lekgolo worms
I know everyone has a different opinon on things
But me personally
I don't play Halo to kill humans as another human
I kill aliens
In the campaign that be
Ive had my fill of killing aliens. Let me wreck some Innies
honestly, the marines can get annoying at some times, kinda would like to play as a elite (yes i know the arbiter exists)
And this is why I want to play as an Orion candidate.
Less Marine, closer to the dudes from Resistance 2; hard core gritty supersoldiers sent to do the dirty job no one else can or will.

Greetings Spartans
Honestly a halo game from the covenants perspective would be cool
Playing as arbiter or the one missing the mouth bit(I can't remember his name)
honestly, as long as i could get some revenge on dave the marine after flipping the warthog and crushing me
id be happy
Dave 😂
The rating would go up from it going from alien violence to human violence, so it might not get approved in this day and age tbh
But i could be wrong
Hi
Hyello
Who here knows some lore behind halo?
So basically, the halos, the universe destroyers
go to town there
Ok
Wrong target. You're not gonna play as an Innie.
You're going to fight alongside Marines as one of them, presumably.
Think closer to a COD campaign but...one of the good ones.
Still think they could have made Infinite Warfare not bad if they'd set in Halo as the Interplantary War. final mission not being the sacrifice of some people and a ship but instead the arrival on Mars of the proto ODST and the horrified laminations of the Freidiens as the sky falls upon them
i dont care, as long as i get to kill a couple a marines im good
Keep looking then mate.
If you wanna kill humans go play alien
i mean, i dont think were ever getting a game were you kill humans
Or play reach online
It's not really halo
You've never killed humans, unless you count halo wars
spartans were made to kill rebels, which were humans
I mean, idk what the point is really
It says in halo 4 that they were perfected to kill the covenant(defend earth against them)
So the Spartans we know don't kill humans
So, kinda just cope ig
Spartans originally was designed to kill and destroy rebels
And iirc, after the covenant war they kinda went to the same thing again
At least in some places
I mean chief was counted as a rebel at that point
But idk why they would delve into killing humans
yes, but they were first made to kill rebels, then were perfected to be covenant killers.
Bunjie has never delved into making human killer games
Spartans were just good to kill covenants when the covenant war started so they just kinda used more for them
bunjie?
They lead halo
That was a Bungie idea lol
not anymore
343 just took it and expanded more
fr
It was about 4 years.
And some change.
pretty sure spartans were originally used for garbage disposal.
All my friends got off, I have come in search of people to talk to
The same cutscene also directly and correctly calls out Halsey for bending history's results for her own gain. Because she was contracted to make Spartans explicitly to kill insurgencies, but the Covenant were a good gander.
I’ve literally been waiting on halo 4 grifball for like 35 minutes and STILL no one has joined 😂
Welcome to looking for non-Halo 3 MCC games at 3AM?
iirc halo 4 servers are still up no? Or are all halo 360 games down?
curious
Pls don't beg for money here 
😮
Can I beg for the pride visor from a year or two back?
That'd actually make a pretty nifty visor.
Is there any information about the new mcc nameplates?
Just checked the option in player ID and there’s like 20 or so new ones, looks like they might be for next year or something?
i was begging for a game not the money
i can't get $10 for mowing a lawn even no one has grass lol
This is... *checks notes* ... Halo

The Halo fortnite clan🔥🔥
Yooo 💪💪🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯
Guys I'm kinda dumb but whats MCC
💀
The Master Chief Collection
Literally says it on the title screen and I think the main menu as well
And when you load it up on Xbox or pc
... lol I'm an egg
Dw, I live in a cave
🤣
can I disable maps from my queue like in tf2?
I'm so sick of this sand turbine map in squad battle, I hate it with every inch of my soul, but I enjoy other maps of this mode pretty much
nope
big sad
so custom games browser is the only way I can exclude turbine map from my squad battle games ?
hmm
can I multi-queue for more than one gamemode at a time?
nope
which weapon disables vehicles and makes them glow?
shock rifle, disruptor and the dynamo grenades
disruptor...
low damage trash taser pistol ?
any idea how to fix halo logging into the wrong account on first start up?
Log into the right account…?
Idk just saying
Is this for Halo Infinite on Steam?
yes, steam.
itd be so so funny if they gave locke as the hero reward
i wouldnt even complain if they got the armour looking as good as it did in 5
clicking "sign in with a different account" goes to the "enter password" screen for the account i didnt want. and ive got all my accounts on xbox logged into mine.
thank you.
We need Halo by r/place
That's up to the r/halo folks - don't believe they're taking part
Man Kinetic Instruction jumped up to be my favourite weapon coating, wish it wasn’t only for the AR, BR & Sidekick it would’ve been sick to have the full set
Wat
FTC withdrew its challenge to the MS-ABK acquisition and MS-ABK extended their closing to mid-Oct. 
the greatest deal in gaming is about to get a lot better 👏
this?
I kind of wish more armour coatings had matching weapon coatings like Kinetic Instruction
And vice versa
That'd be cool
this is what I was expecting when they said cross core with this season
but nope
Hello
I started playing halo infinite recently again
And planning on getting live gold for mcc
now branded as gamepass core
Right
Still something to get me back in mcc
I remember loving halo 3
Infinites fun but just not the same
Tbf I think most people’s expectations of “cross core coating” is only across armour cores and not extending across weapons too
But I really think some weapon coating sets would look really good on armour
And some armour coatings might look good on weapons
Please use english only
i messed with offsets too much
wth 😭
Who tryna talk about the political and economical state of the world ?
buddy
im just starting halo infinite
big W
Nobody here
i always move the gun as far forward as i can, then lower it so it doesnt take up too much room. Games always have you holding the gun too close to your body I think, at least at a comfy 90-100fov
yea thats what i do
rev trying to flip it to wumbo
i just wanted to see how whack it could be so i changed the offsets and put it to 120 fov
I had a dream I was working then I woke up and made my dreams come true 💪🏼💯
"why use coatings if i cant see the whole gun" 😄
exactly
what mouse do y'all recommend for casual gaming like halo and other fps games, currently im using the g304 wireless
Halo infinite is still kicking is it
U don’t speak for everyone
he speaks for the rules of the discord
guys
would you say this person is angry
(the comment is in response to the dude hitting hero)
whichever works, but i prefer wireless (also how long does the g304 usually last?)
I've never had one so I cannot speak for the longevity
logitech mice last ages from my experience
although I will say, unless Logitech changed out their switches, probably not long
well those are some conflicting answers
maybe not then lol
you will eventually experience clicking issues (double clicks, no clicks) etc
i havent used wireless gaming mice
every single logitech mouse I've owned has had issues where the switches eventually end up going bad
maybe i'll go for a glorious mouse after this one runs its course
i recommend buying wireless device battery powered
so you buy recharchable external batteries
and yo uar eprtty much set up for life until it breaks
or get the wireless logitech 502 and the powerplay charging mousepad
powerplay is too expensive
so when the battery dies you have to throw it away
can I killbind in this game ?
or plug it in and use it wired (depending on your setup of course)
I have the wired counterpart to the G304 (G203) and i only use it for gaming so i think it will last a while
at that point umay as well buy a wired mouse
I just be on the Xbox
my MX Master has lasted many years for productivity
Gold+ 💀 More like high diamond - onyx
tbh i kinda regret not buiyng a wireless keyboard
however k95 platinum wasn't wireless
as much as i lvoe wires, they aare hard to manage whe you have 20 of them
is this game dead or am i just playing the wrong mode lmao
so ye wireless keyboard and mcie for the win, but only if they use external batteriesthat can be changed so they can last forever
where u at'
oce
dead other there
anything i use for gaming i keep wired
only on some hr sof day u may fid agmes or weekends
it isnt 2010
technology has come a long long way.
We've got some Oceania folks over here that might know when the best times to find a match are
imagine playing with a wired controller tho 💀
wireless is pretty much the same now.
I play with a wired controller on my PC
i seee
Yee it’s not 2010 🙄🙄
i dont know, considering i downloaded the game today
i refuse to even think about it, you a meanance to susciety 
just been playing fiesta
quickplay is msot alive
i couldnt figure out how to set up a loadout
you could also consider movint to a new country to play halo
so
what controller doe
