general-chat

[bold rock]

yes

[tight remnant]

or 5

[bronze breach]

Likely they wanted to try new things

[elfin glacier]

ew

[bronze breach]

Innovating for the sake of innovating lol

[elfin glacier]

4 style would've been neat

[bold rock]

i mean... how well has that been for them ? H4, H5... Infinite.....

[bronze breach]

But some things shouldn't be innovated for the sake of it

[tight remnant]

I think the core system was probably made in mind with monetization personally

[elfin glacier]

but fully different bipeds allows for even more flexibility

[bold rock]

clearly innovating for the sake of innovating is not working

[fickle drift]

That could be the title of 343's Autobiography

[pulsar cobalt]

Even so i still think deep down the core system is great

[tight remnant]

Or at least, the limitations

[elfin glacier]

ehhh

beyond not having way more default coatings for each core by default it's more the distinct themes thing

otherwise the cores wouldn't be as distinct as they are

[normal owl]

My personal opinion is that they examined the marketplace and saw that games like Apex which separated "cores" for purposes of splintering--and increasing total--shop purchases prompted a "hey design a system where..." that ended up with what we got.

[bronze breach]

Doesnt forge have a color customization for spartan props?

[elfin glacier]

yes cuz that's forge

[bronze breach]

Yet we dont have it in actual customization lol

[elfin glacier]

not personal customization

[bold rock]

And Apex... is pretty much dead.... still thinking why that would be good

[tight remnant]

These systems are thought out, designed, taking a lot of people and time and direction. But those systems aren't inline with player expectations

[pulsar cobalt]

I think they need to remove the rarity thing from the cores though doesn't make much sense these days

[tight remnant]

Forge objects act as forge objects

[elfin glacier]

apex
pretty much dead

i don't care for apex or whatever but lmao

[normal owl]

It actually is going pretty strong by recent numbers.

[elfin glacier]

it probably has a higher concurrent player count than Halo ever has had considering how popular it is

[tight remnant]

I hopo next season we have eaglestrike though

[elfin glacier]

and also multiplat

[bronze breach]

[elfin glacier]

I hope they rerun the original passes too

[pulsar cobalt]

Eaglestrike and rak and mark iv core i hope

[bold rock]

they had... MCC thats has great customization.... yet they chose... to creat a system that limits players in so many ways...

[pulsar cobalt]

How does it limit players

[fickle drift]

tbf MCC is just recreating the original systems and expanding with cut / auxilary content
Infinite is built from the ground up for a different game and monetisation model

[elfin glacier]

you can't put the samurai styled helmet on the dieselpunk biped #oppression

same fanbase that, as I clearly remember, whined so much about the fractures armors in mcc h3 that 343 caved and added a toggle (big mistake imo)

[bold rock]

you cant even choose the colors you want your spartan to be, you need to use precolored systems, you cant use the attachments you want with the pieces you want... same with armor...

[fickle drift]

I mean, tbf, it's almost as if fanbases consist of multiple people with different mindsets

[tight remnant]

halo infinite ha sbeen getting better with it but the chests for instance in previous halo games vs infinite

[pulsar cobalt]

The coating system is way better lol who wants to be red and blue 90% of the time

[bold rock]

the coating system is a joke

[tight remnant]

this season especially, the new mark VII chests are almost like having an entire new chest on rather than an attachment on the chest

[bold rock]

thats why people praise that we can now in forge change the colors of spartans lol

[elfin glacier]

i'm not really that bothered by presets but

343 absolutely dropped the ball by not having like 10x more default free coatings at launch

[tight remnant]

I do wish there was a toggle to colour the older pieces

[elfin glacier]

a toggle would be nice. I like the contrast on my MkVII spartan. Makes me think of like, grabbing standardized stuff to put on before a mission or training

[normal owl]

Believe me, I understand: I was one of the folks very frustrated by the seeming restriction on customization, but now I see that it's more because of lack of explanation for why the current system is in place. I didn't mind it at all in Apex, but it was because it was clearly communicated from the 1st second that I should never expect cross-core customization.

[tight remnant]

imagine if arbiter's guard coating was obtained by getting halo outcasts

halo has a legacy of customization

it doesn't pop out of nowhere and before comparing it to other games i think its important to compare halo to halo. and not just in terms of customization

[bold rock]

the problem is when the customization was said as "something" then showed as a completly other thing... and compared to previous entry's in halo... its a downgrade

[elfin glacier]

what 'completely other thing'

[bold rock]

Millions of customization when launched

[tight remnant]

Wasn't this 8$?

[bold rock]

and that clearly was not the case

[normal owl]

Well said and you're right. I've just tried to accept and not want more as I used to be very frustrated about it and I would rather just be content.

[elfin glacier]

technically true though, due to emblems and such

[elfin glacier]

i think looking at past monetization here is also important. People point to 5 being grindable or 4 having cheaper xpacks but, all of that was underpinned by xbl gold being required for any and all MP access

[bold rock]

thats the problem. You advertice something... people get expectations, you show that something and is "technically true" but not what it is supposed to be... people wont like it

[elfin glacier]

infinite, the mp is f2p, there's no paid gameplay content for the mp, and there's no requirement on xbl gold

[tight remnant]

That bundle would be worth like 34$ today

[elfin glacier]

a staple of halo advertising tbh

[bold rock]

Pretty much why Halo 5 was hated

[elfin glacier]

earth will never be the same

[fickle drift]

I think Infinite is absolutely an upgrade to H5
The core system may be restrictive but it's substantially more customisable than your Spartan in H5.

[tight remnant]

Or more. One more set than dragonborn bundle. 3 armours, and coatings and stuff

[elfin glacier]

i do think the prices could be lowered a bit further

[pulsar cobalt]

Thing is new players now can get tons of customization from just playing

[tight remnant]

The limiting of halo 5 customization is ??? to me

[bold rock]

H5 customization was awful...

[tight remnant]

When people argue that it was because of the REQ system, I think that argument falls apart very quickly

They could have put indinividual armour pieces in the REQ, or the sets that unlock the whole pieces like bundled

so that arugment doesn't make much sense to me

[normal owl]

I do wish they kept the H5 full customization of colors for armor and emblems though.

[fickle drift]

I don't think the limit to H5's customisation was because of the REQ system, they just compound into something very unsatisfying
Personally speaking anyway

[normal owl]

I would personally love to just be able to select "primary: black; secondary: crimson" for free.

[tight remnant]

I do say there are some very nice combos with coatings

[shy holly]

something i dont like about infinite is how im completely unable to get the free items from the previous battle passes
like i understand keeping them behind the paywall but what about the free items in there?

[bold rock]

free customization in Infinite was never an option... since the MP was free to play

[elfin glacier]

there's a decent amount of free stuff though

[bold rock]

when a game goes free to play, they have to make money somewhere

[hearty flame]

They know they can charge that much because they know they'll make more money off fewer people buying it for $34 than more people buying it for $8

[pulsar cobalt]

But there is free customization in infinite

quite alot of it now

[bold rock]

oh i know, i dont say there isnt

[tight remnant]

I think there's plenty of ways to make a player friendly system that also pays

[normal owl]

True. They had to go the Spirit Airlines way to make ends meet.

[shy holly]

i cant get the armor pieces for the mark v core

[elfin glacier]

"free customization in infinite was never an option"

[bold rock]

its just will never be completly free

[hearty flame]

There absolutely is

[bold rock]

i missconstructed my argument...

[hearty flame]

The fact of the matter is that consumer-friendly system doesn't pay as much

[tight remnant]

When people say 'its customization, it doesnt matter", the responses people have i think prove that it does matter

[elfin glacier]

for me i'm willing to let things slide more because before mcc pc or infinite I never could play online MP

[hearty flame]

In a game where player expression was advertised as some level of selling point, yeah, it matters

[tight remnant]

I would have liked to use hellcat in halo 5 more but they had white lines instead of redlines

[bold rock]

YES totaly this.

[elfin glacier]

so customization mtx for free mp content is a perfectly acceptable tradeoff

[tight remnant]

5

[hearty flame]

I absolutely agree

[shy holly]

yeah i agree

[hearty flame]

But not to this extent

[elfin glacier]

that being said there's room for improvement

[hearty flame]

Armor in Infinite is so vastly overpriced

[bold rock]

there always is, and alwasy will be... we just need to wait

sadly

[elfin glacier]

at least we don't have to deal with nonsense like bungie pro anymore

[shy holly]

cant wait for 343 pro tho 🔥💯

[tight remnant]

I would however like colour palettes to be fixed and new ones to be added to the 152 emblem

[hearty flame]

Didn't 343 nuke the forums and now this Discord is considered a forum or am I buggin

[tight remnant]

They changed one of the options available and they should have had some more basic colours to help people match their halo 5 emblems

[bold rock]

yeah

[fickle drift]

Aye the Waypoint forums closed

[tight remnant]

Most 152s i see in infinite just use white because the other options available are not satisfactory

[hasty zinc]

it was all a dream. None of it was real. None of this is real. You are sleeping. WAKE UP!

[hearty flame]

If only

[elfin glacier]

wut

[bold rock]

dont be scared... prolly a joke lol

[hasty zinc]

siege shaking rn

[shy holly]

i remember when i was younger i was tryna figure out how halo waypoint worked and i thought it was a whole separate halo game
i was really dumb

[bold rock]

i mean you where young...

[tight remnant]

it was nice recognizing who the player was in the lobby in halo 5 just by the colour of their 152 emblem

[fickle drift]

The Waypoint 360 app was pretty cool, I remember really liking the 'different way to Campaign' videos and watching the motion comics on there

[tight remnant]

A lot of great content

[elfin glacier]

i wish the phone apps got more resources and development

[hearty flame]

I always enjoyed the franchise's attempts at integrating external media somehow

I really appreciated the effort

[tight remnant]

reach had a live-map position

[bold rock]

sadly pretty much all that is shelved... until 343 gets more people to do the work

[pulsar cobalt]

Coatings should 100% be like 150-200 credits armour bundles should be 800 credits and emblems should be like 50-100 credits anyone else feel the same haha i do feel like prices in infinite are way to overpriced still

[hasty zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfDS9GsLNAY

[hearty flame]

Not only that but coatings should be 200 credits for one coating available across all armors

[normal owl]

Waypoint apps were shut down a while ago unfortunately.

[tight remnant]

i do wish 343 would give us more motion animated things and animations, those are always great

[shy holly]

before i got mcc, i always wanted to play halo 4 spartan ops
and now i have mcc and h4 spartan ops is not as cool as i thought itd be ngl

[tight remnant]

spartan ops is a thing that should have been expanded upon

[pulsar cobalt]

I mean this is happening in S5 but the price reduction would be lovely

[tight remnant]

a really cool concept, and the first season should have been a, okay we did this, how do we make this better?

[bold rock]

yeah...

[shy holly]

yeah it has potential

[bold rock]

it had...

its pretty much done

[hearty flame]

Blessed be. The price reduction should absolutely happen. Not paying 800 credits for a single skin, that's robbery.

[bold rock]

since H5 pretty much killed the boss of Spartan ops... 1st mission

[shy holly]

halo infinite spartan ops would be pretty cool if executed right

[hearty flame]

You know, spartans have many ops to do

[tight remnant]

I agree the prices are not good for the coating bundles

[bold rock]

yeah.. since infinte where are all the suposed spartans ?

[hearty flame]

On ops

[bold rock]

pretty much all dead

[tight remnant]

Honestly the infinite multiplayer story felt like it could have benefitted from spartan ops style thing

[shy holly]

theyre all doing ops at all times with no breaks

[tight remnant]

no

[fickle drift]

Going to the store with the default 360 mic on lmao
Different era

[hearty flame]

If Infinite MP story even came with one "episode" per season kind of like Atomgrad that would have been AMAZING

[shy holly]

now im just imagining a spartan ops level where you survive the iratus ai outbreak

[hearty flame]

IRATUS FIREFIGHT

give it to me please

[unborn wedge]

yo what's the link to the stat tracker for infinite

[safe python]

yes.

[unborn wedge]

the one that works

[normal owl]

It sounds silly but I think it's been shown to be effective in other separated-core games: simply turning Cores into Characters would have preempted a lot of the expectation for cross-core. "I wouldn't think Emile could wear Dinh's stuff anyway."

[shy holly]

black ops zombies in halo infinite

[hearty flame]

Absolutely, I brought up a similar point a few days ago about how this illusion of choice sells easier in CoD for the same reason

[fickle drift]

I genuinely would be down for a story attached to Firefight maps released seasonally

[bold rock]

apart from the MP story spartans that where pretty much at a kind of bootcam (academy) or Chief, spartans in infinite are pretty much done.. atleast all that where in the Infinity

[pulsar cobalt]

800 credits for a coating is crazy i know i buy them but what can you do, they should 100% be reduced though

[bold rock]

so 7510... spartans pretty much dead

[normal owl]

It really does. Consumers just equate Name = Ownership and don't expect as much cross-cust.

[final rose]

But I think the Covenant still has half of the Janus Key with them

[hearty flame]

Stop you're getting my hopes up. Imagine if we had CoD Zombies maps with main quests in Halo.

[bronze breach]

No I have the Janus Key

[bold rock]

the recalimer saga was shelved...

[hearty flame]

If I can figure out a way to make CoD zombies maps in Halo work eventually, my life will be over

[final rose]

I didn't understand

[shy holly]

theres a lot of custom games out there

[hearty flame]

It's a shame we're not getting any more story content because a PvE survival gamemode that followed the MP story would have brought a lot of people in to the game

[bold rock]

all that story... is part of the reclaimer saga, H4/H5 that story was shelved.. they wont expand upon it, Halo Infinite was a reboot to the story

[fickle drift]

I can't wait to find out more about the Endless

[final rose]

Hum... but it wasn't retconed, was it ?

[amber mirage]

Infinite is a direct sequel to 5

[bold rock]

Soft Reboot.... thats worse than retcon

[hasty zinc]

Halo Infinite was the last entry of the Reclaimer saga

[steady jolt]

Infinite was a spiritual reboot. The story was still a continuation

[shy holly]

what happened to the guardians i didnt play halo 5

[pulsar cobalt]

Halo 5 > halo wars 2 > infinite

[bronze breach]

Time lapse from 5 to infinite.

[steady jolt]

I absolutely get what they were going for, but it seems use of the word "reboot" just hasn't worked out

[final rose]

It's a sequel but in a different direction

[muted rose]

Give it to me, humanity must never ascend

[shy holly]

also what happened to spartan locke and the other spartans in halo 5?

[bold rock]

we dont know

[pulsar cobalt]

Grunt propaganda says he's dead 😂

[steady jolt]

Unknown, but so far not dead

[final rose]

That's only on the books

[bold rock]

assumed dead, MIA

[silent cairn]

I was kinda irritated when they never really finished Halo 5’s story, it wasn’t great but the game ended on a cliffhanger and Infinite kinda just moved away from the story immediately

[shy holly]

wow

[bronze breach]

Locke is finding a new key

[normal owl]

*Keyes

[bronze breach]

👍

[pulsar cobalt]

I 100% think they should bring back locke though kinda liked him tbh

[bold rock]

liked locke since Nightfall

[bronze breach]

All hail the conquering hero. The one that was suppose to save us all! Now I must save us from you!

[shy holly]

locke's armor looks pretty cool but other than that i know nothing about him

[silent cairn]

The only characters I really liked in Halo 5 were Locke, Buck, and The Arbiter

[bold rock]

watch Halo Nightfall

that will teach you about Locke

[hasty zinc]

[bold rock]

we still dont know ANYTHING... about tanaka and Vale do we ?

[silent cairn]

Idk they might have had something in the books but I don’t read the books

[fickle drift]

Asking what happened to most of H5's cast during Infinite is wasted effort rn

[bronze breach]

Maybe Locke escaped death by using the quantum translocator? 👍

[maiden crown]

https://youtu.be/QO6Wc7QkJAE

[bold rock]

pretty much

[bold rock]

his armor didnt... Toys of Banished guys with parts of his armor..

[maiden crown]

Any of yall play destiny 1?

[bold rock]

here, and D2 too

[maiden crown]

@bold rock
Word man i go a server for eveyone still playin f1 if u wanna hop in

Xbox or ps4?

[bronze breach]

Stopped playing destiny. Too grindy and story is meh

[bold rock]

ps4

[maiden crown]

In it for the crucible

Word same man

[shy holly]

i play destiny 2

[maiden crown]

My name on there is same as here

[queen remnant]

A loooong time ago

[shy holly]

i got destiny 2 cause it was made by bungie

[normal owl]

Crucible is underappreciated by the devs. Not a moneymaker unfortunately, hence very little content. Crucible feels so dang good to play.

[pulsar cobalt]

Miss zhalo supercell

[silent cairn]

Pretty much the same with me, I hop on every once in a while but I don’t even try to pay attention to the story and I don’t grind out for weapons or anything (except the Halo ones they added)

[bronze breach]

The Witness also appears so far to be undefeatable but they'll do something to nerf his abilities

[silent cairn]

A Halo and Destiny collab would be awesome

[fickle drift]

I mean they did have Halo inspired cosmetics in Destiny a while back

[silent cairn]

An official one, not just the weapons that were based off of Halo

[quaint canyon]

the falling animation in halo ce looks so funny

[shy holly]

meanwhile 343 devs watching the chat knowing they aint ever gonna think about that

[fickle drift]

Given Sony owns Bungie now I doubt a proper colab will ever happen lol

[final rose]

But they couldn't mention Halo

[shy holly]

i have what looks like a spartan helmet on my destiny 2 guy rn
and im never taking it off

[bronze breach]

:l

[normal owl]

There was: an official Bungie celebration of Halo stuff but tweaked just enough to avoid being mirror copies without 343's agreement. That was one of the pillars of their 30th Anniversary pack.

[pulsar cobalt]

The forerunner pistol is kinda close

[elfin glacier]

🤓

[maiden crown]

https://youtu.be/QO6Wc7QkJAE heres an old Destiny Montage me and my friends just came out with

[bronze breach]

Isnt it fall under the laws of passing off?

[normal owl]

e.g. H2BR = BXR Battler pulse rifle

[silent cairn]

Yeah I got all the weapons and items i could without having to pay for the dlc

[steady jolt]

@maiden crown There's a reason your messages were deleted. We don't allow server invites here

[maiden crown]

My bad dude

[bronze breach]

Hate how gallerhorn is quest dlc gated

[pulsar cobalt]

It's easy though

[normal owl]

I wish restaurants would disallow server invites: "Can I tempt you with dessert?" uhh no thanks.

[queen remnant]

That gun was insane last year in pvp

[bronze breach]

I hate to get carried lol and the catalyst I was 1 second before losing the buff to open the chest

[queen remnant]

Morbius, that sounds very skill issue

[bronze breach]

I got it dw

[queen remnant]

Ah

[normal owl]

It was! I got a roll with Incandescent on it and it's worked well as secondary on Deep Dives vs Hive.

[queen remnant]

Oh god

[bronze breach]

But its nerfed now so I vaulted it afaik

[queen remnant]

Bad idea because it is still very good

Specially for dps times

[pulsar cobalt]

It's still op

[shy holly]

my samsung windows laptop cannot run destiny 2 pvp

[normal owl]

It's precision + infinite ammo is so powerful alone before even a good perk roll.

[queen remnant]

In a team with full rockets and one ghally can destroy a loooot vs a boss

[candid solar]

Spartan Locke was born on the same planet as Noble Six, Jericho VII. He was 6 years old and placed in the State orphanages when Jericho VII fell; However, unlike many youths he was with, he grew up blaming the UNSC for their inability to protect the planet. As a result, Locke grew up to become a freelance tracker and assassin (As in, he was a hitman, before he even joined the UNSC).

This strange behavior compared to other HCW orphans and the more cutthroat field he entered into caught ONI's attention, who offered him a job. From there, he sought to improve his own skill set, so he joined ONI and entered into their extensive program to perfect his talents under ONI Section 3.

[pulsar cobalt]

Still use thunderlord

[normal owl]

I still have not completed the Avarice dungeon for gjallarhorn and at this point probably never will.

[shy holly]

thats actually really cool why couldnt we get more of that

[candid solar]

Because it's not really relevant beyond background to Locke as of 2559.

[normal owl]

I keep going back to my ol pal Suros Regime for Crucible.

[stiff shoal]

anyone here play ranked?

[silent cairn]

I wish more of the lore would actually be explained in the games

[bronze breach]

Jotunn ftw!

[queen remnant]

You should one day! The dungeon is really really fun and very cool, love the whole story too

[bronze breach]

Most dont dodge, if they do, I run away!

[candid solar]

Why? Halo's a book franchise with video game spinoffs.

Don't get how people still don't understand that tbh

[bronze breach]

Did Jotunn get a nerf yet?

[normal owl]

I need to just sit down and learn how to use it well.

[shy holly]

i wanna see more of locke's skillset in some more recent games

[bronze breach]

Or does it still one shot?

[queen remnant]

No and tbh it does not need one

[normal owl]

Dang...well now I want to lol.

[severe basalt]

I still have yet to play Halo 5 xD Think it's the only Halo I haven't played

[bronze breach]

Good.

Jotunn is my go to weapon in crucible

[silent cairn]

How does Halo 4 have better graphics than Infinite

[candid solar]

Half the reason I want it on PC is so I can actually play it with an FOV above freaking 70.

[candid solar]

Lolwut

[severe basalt]

I want it on PC just so I can actually play it

[shy holly]

the spartans in halo 4 look a bit off imo

[normal owl]

I started trying MIDA Multi-Tool in Crucible but haven't used it enough to know whether it's a good fit for me or not.

[shy holly]

especially with bright colors

[silent cairn]

Well the art style isn’t as good as Infinite, but the graphics themselves definitely look better imo

[candid solar]

Good thing opinions aren't objective.

[severe basalt]

Different Engine?

[queen remnant]

It's fine buuut there are better options

[normal owl]

What do you use?

[bronze breach]

All halo game uses the same engine

[shy holly]

i feel like the h4 spartans have super tiny waists and it looks weird

[fickle drift]

Halo -compressed textures and abundant lens flares- 4

[severe basalt]

Doesn't Infinite run on Slipspace or w/e it's called?

[silent cairn]

Doesn’t Infinite have a different engine?

[candid solar]

Well, iterations of the same engine. Not the same.

[bronze breach]

Slipspace is blam and blam is halo engine

[queen remnant]

nvm got confused with other gun that has a similar name 💀 it's a good exotic and I've seen people even in trials going with it

[silent cairn]

And I could be wrong but I thought that Reach, 4, and 5 all had a different engine too

[candid solar]

You are wrong.

[silent cairn]

I’m not sure about that though

[candid solar]

They use different iterations of the same engine.

[bronze breach]

Yeah I know. My bad for being vague lol

[silent cairn]

Yeah that makes more sense

[severe basalt]

Halo 4 deffo has the same engine as Reach

[restive plover]

Has anyone utilized the voice channels while playing Halo yet?
Never done it.
The channel makes sense for PC players who have discord on PC, but I play on the Xbox with a headset. I cannot have an Xbox headset on and use discords voice chat on the PC at the same time. Ideas?

[normal owl]

I'll keep putting it through its paces. I got a good Gnawing Hunger roll so I'm going to have that as a full-auto secondary. But most firefights I don't even have time to switch away from primary gun honestly.

[shy holly]

quick question:
do yall like the spartan designs in reach?
cause my sister said she hates it

[bronze breach]

Destiny also uses a variation of the blam engine

[candid solar]

Your sister's a real one.

[fickle drift]

The Reach designs are pretty good all in, some stinkers but that's true of every title.

[shy holly]

dang i like the reach designs

[queen remnant]

Yee it is kinda of situational but it's nice to have but for secondary I usually go with fusion rifles or shotguns, or cloudstrike lol

[bronze breach]

"During development of Halo Infinite, 343 Industries decided to modify and revamp the blam! engine to create the Slipspace Engine. The new engine still retains remnants of the blam! Engine but mostly uses new and modified code."

Sounds like slipspace is a heavily modified blam

[steady jolt]

I hope the next Halo game runs on an engine called Theseus

[silent cairn]

I’m very mixed on the Reach art style, including the Spartan designs. I think most stuff in Reach is just a bit over designed and I don’t think it really feels like Halo. Still way better than the 4 and 5 art style though

[normal owl]

I'm not pro enough to master fusion rifle timing or shotgun distance judgment lol. I tried that slideshot stuff to extend shotty range and slid straight to my death each time lol.

[shy holly]

so infinite is a halo mod!??!??

[bronze breach]

Never heard of it before

[candid solar]

... What?

It's no more a mod of Halo than Halo 2 is a mod of Halo CE.

[shy holly]

thats fair
i agree on that last part tho lol

[shy holly]

(i can be a bit dumb at times)

[candid solar]

It's okay, everybody but me can be.

[normal owl]

I heard that, for those with underpowered PCs, it'll run on Medusa: freeze the game into stone.

[candid solar]

I'm flawless, of course.

[cedar turret]

is it opposite day already/

[bronze breach]

Eh?

[shy holly]

LOL

[normal owl]

Yes

...or no?

[candid solar]

I don't know why I still want to rank up to get Watchdog. It's not even all that cool of a reward.

Now, if the reward was Seeker, on the other hand...

[bronze breach]

Just realized if microsoft bought back dedicated servers and matchmaking for xbox 360 Gears games

Then a remastered Gears collection is even less likely to be in the works.

Oh well

[normal owl]

The creme de la creme.

[silent cairn]

I love the Seeker helmet

[candid solar]

Anyone who unironically hated the helmet for being this based is a terrible person with terrible taste

[silent cairn]

It looks so dumb but i love it so much

[candid solar]

It's ironically not really that bad of a design as a helmet, it just looks ugly.

It can clearly do its job, it's just really ugly while doing it.

Good overhead protection, clearly more sensor-focused (The cameras and sensors on the sides), really wide and clear visor with no obstructions.

[silent cairn]

The sides look like speakers

[candid solar]

They're sensors.

[silent cairn]

Given fashion's fast rotation, Seeker will come back into vogue. Just a few years ago, practical-but-ugly was out of fashion. Now, cargo pants and belt bags are back.

[candid solar]

Practical but ugly will never go out of fashion in my heart.

Nomad my beloved.

[silent cairn]

I prefer impractical and ugly

[candid solar]

Ah, an EVA[C] wearer

Bro you can’t just diss Emile like that

I like to diss lame things, it's my jam.

So I'm gonna diss that edgy dead dweeb

[elfin glacier]

progress bar went from 60 hour estimated time to 23 hours to 8 minutes

I love that this exists

[candid solar]

Okay so I'm seeing that people can get the Corrupted hex Bulldog via the Xbox App on PC

And now I'm suddenly remembering why I have a massive amount of hatred for the PC Xbox App.

Because apparently it just... Doesn't think I play Infinite enough to want to know about this?

[silent cairn]

This is either me having bad taste or me just replaying Halo CE too much, but I actually like the library

[quaint canyon]

its terrifying even in the remastered version.

atleast the flood don't use flamethrowers.

Imma ask can anyone agree in halo cw that the maps are quite plain ig like comparing it to halo 3 for example

[vapid siren]

yo it is matty mcdee the man who made all of the newest spiderverse on his own

[viral dune]

What is halo cw

[steady jolt]

[steady jolt]

@static dust

[vapid siren]

man i was givin a nice congrat ping in rhalo and now i feel like a prick cause he's double pinged and maybe messed with elsewhere

[cedar turret]

It was the pilot for the halo in a modern day high school tv show that didn't get greenlit. The master chief was the nickname of the high school quarterback and cortana was a bookish nerd with a fondness for homemade explosives and an unrelenting desire to be declared prom tyrant.

[clear sequoia]

Hi everyone

[steady jolt]

We should ping him again, jut to even it out

[clear sequoia]

Yooooo that's sick

[steady jolt]

Right?

[twin jay]

Does anyone want this free halo infinite code? I dont play halo infinite so

[clear sequoia]

I want one

[twin jay]

K hold on

Check ur dms

[clear sequoia]

Not the code

I meant the armour

[twin jay]

Oh 😭 mb

[balmy lance]

[static dust]

shpidahman

[twin jay]

One day, when hell freezes over, we'll get Osiris team's emblem in Halo Infinite.

And I'll be there, frozen and staring, like Jack Torrance in the snow.

[vapid siren]

im fairly certain Matty is who linked me the meme the first time

it was probably him liking it on twitter or something cause spiderman

[hasty zinc]

listen hawk, just take your compliment

[vapid siren]

i thank you

[hasty zinc]

np

[obsidian wyvern]

aegis hands out compliments like candy it doesn't mean much

[hasty zinc]

wow

fine, I'll just be mean from now on

[obsidian wyvern]

you see how much he praises reach and 4? means NOTHING

[hasty zinc]

you know what

I'm gonna say it

[obsidian wyvern]

what 😤

[hasty zinc]

I don't like your profile picture

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah let me flip it back upright

[hasty zinc]

it's upside down and it scares me

[obsidian wyvern]

I can't even do that from here nvm lol

[candid solar]

Rekt

[obsidian wyvern]

I only just found out you can connect your switch to WiFi that needs a browser, idk how new that feature is

[hasty zinc]

must be using hotel wifi

[candid solar]

That's what you get for getting needled by a Talon of the Lost

[vapid siren]

oh @hasty zinc have you seen what Titan's gotten up to in Elite

[obsidian wyvern]

yea but like 2 years ago it never let me do that

[vapid siren]

I created a genocidal monster she built a semi-capable AX-conda with 6 shard cannons

[hasty zinc]

not yet but listen to the bop on the halo lo fi channel righ tnow

[vapid siren]

[hasty zinc]

holy cow

[vapid siren]

oh wow they already added more tracks huh

[obsidian wyvern]

I must've missed it because now it's one final effort or smthn

[vapid siren]

the list seemed pretty short yesterday

[hasty zinc]

you missed it

[obsidian wyvern]

damn

[hasty zinc]

but this is good too

[fickle drift]

I think they should change the way platinum rank looks, I actually can't tell the difference between it and silver

[hasty zinc]

just like in real life!

[fickle drift]

Idk about you but onyx doesn't look like that in real life

[hasty zinc]

you said platinum and silver

where did onyx come from

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

I actually like plat the way it is, matches with my nameplates

[vapid siren]

plat's got a bit more shine to it and a slightly bluer tint

silver is a lot flatter and more... well silver

[hasty zinc]

at first glance though it's not easy to tell

[vapid siren]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[hasty zinc]

I mean IRL

not in game

[vapid siren]

oh

[hasty zinc]

I can tell the difference there

[vapid siren]

well im not a jeweler or metallurgist so i wouldnt know

but yeah in game it's pretty evident tbh

[hasty zinc]

well take some classes buddy

get your metalurolgy degreee

idk what it's actually called

metallurgy?

idk

[vapid siren]

metal urology

[hasty zinc]

ouch

[vapid siren]

your words not mine

[candid solar]

It's easier than you might think

[fickle drift]

Im saying that in real life doesn't matter

Why not make bronze and hero look as similar as silver and platinum then

[fickle drift]

That's the ranked ranks tho not career ranks

[hasty zinc]

ooh under cover of night lo fi

[vapid siren]

[hasty zinc]

is there a track list somewhere?

[vapid siren]

maybe in their discord?

[hasty zinc]

eh, that's ok

[vapid siren]

checked, and there is none that i cans ee

[hasty zinc]

solace would be great for this

[vapid siren]

given they seem to be adding more, it's probably not a huge priority cause that'd just mean constant updating

[haughty wraith]

Is being called a ||groomer|| a common thing people do for content on xbox? Cause some dude is calling me david (not my name)
And i've never seen him in my life lmao

[frosty tree]

Sounds about right

[real hemlock]

A friend from work just gave me the halo 3 collectors edition helmet

I'm now happy

[steady jolt]

That's awesome

[severe basalt]

What's the catch?

[real hemlock]

Gave him my destiny 2 raid posters XD

[severe basalt]

I think they lost out xD

[real hemlock]

He a big destiny fan I'm a huge halo fan so it worked out

[severe basalt]

still posters can't be worth that much?

[real hemlock]

They were the ones from the Bungie website they were like 40$ a piece.. they were really high quality poaters

[dreamy stirrup]

it's worth whatever the person feels they're worth

so if he's happy with posters then i'd say worth? 🙂

[severe basalt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fickle drift]

do i need to buy the entire master chief collection if i wanna play halo 1? or can i just buy halo 1 on steam?

[indigo linden]

I has to get 61 kills in ranked while my randoms got only 15 a piece.

Elon musk moment

[toxic grotto]

Does anybody know what is Civil Social Gamemode on Halo MCC?

[pulsar cobalt]

Does elon musk litreally wanna destroy twitter because that's what he is doing

[toxic grotto]

Is it clans hub?

[twilit canyon]

Hello

[amber mirage]

Xbox xeet

[real hemlock]

you got to buy the master chief collection all the games are basically dlc after that

so you can buy the ones you like

which im pretty sure MCC is on sale right now

oh nvm it was on sale

oh and nvm the 40$ to buy MCC comes with every game

[lapis snow]

so is s16 of Red vs Blue a bottom point, or it can devolve from the core even more?

[supple shale]

Hello

[fickle drift]

hey 🙂

[supple shale]

Hru?

[fickle drift]

pretty good
playing with my transformers again

[supple shale]

Nice

I'm going to do some forge stuff

[dreamy stirrup]

that's not totally accurate.

you can buy each game a la carte

it'll install the "launcher" which is functionally "MCC" but if you only bought one title, you only get that title

[real hemlock]

ahhhhh i never fully understood how the "DLC" worked

never really cared tho cause i just bought all the games XD

i think steam needs to update that then cause they made it really confusing for new people

[fickle drift]

so if i buy halo 1, i'll get halo 1?

[dreamy stirrup]

yup

but you'll have to launch it through the "MCC" that will download

[fickle drift]

so it will install the mcc and halo 1?

i saw that

[dreamy stirrup]

yes but you'll only have access to CE 🙂

[elfin glacier]

ah Sam since it is no longer the weekend, are there contingencies in place should twitter vague X.org logo ripoff site finally collapse

[dreamy stirrup]

cry

cry a lot?

[steady jolt]

I don't understand how this guy is the richest on the planet

i also have a figure of red alert

[regal chasm]

The same way most rich people get rich. Daddy's money.

[elfin glacier]

net worth != liquid assets + Tesla is insanely overvalued

now i'm sure he's not wanting for hard cash, if he tried to liquidate his Tesla shares all at once the value would crater

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I guess

[elfin glacier]

also at this point i'm half convinced he let smarter people do most of the design work and such at Tesla and spacex until recently taking a more active involvement for some reason

[obsidian wyvern]

which was

not good

[cedar turret]

So pancakes. Add fruit or no fruit

[elfin glacier]

yes that's what i'm getting at

[cedar turret]

And which fruits are a no go

[steady jolt]

Blueberry and Lemon

No go would be banana

[cedar turret]

https://tenor.com/view/doctorwho-nine-christophereccelston-bananas-gif-5044626

[steady jolt]

I like bananas, but not anything that tastes like banana

[cedar turret]

I’m curious about pears. Never had pear pancakes, but it sounds interesting

[dreamy stirrup]

strawberry banana pancakes are good

[steady jolt]

Pear cheesecake is worth trying

Add a little amaretto to it

[regal chasm]

Raw pears probably wouldn't work but if you cooked them before hand maybe.

[cedar turret]

Now why aren’t pears only sold in pairs?

[steady jolt]

Technically, it's already a pair

[cedar turret]

Raspberry and pear pancakes. Have to work the weekend but maybe next week

[obsidian wyvern]

🤨

pear pancakes?

[steady jolt]

My wife makes muffins, I might get her to try raspberry and pear

that's ez mode

The whole thing screams "I did this"

Nobody else involved. No interns, no design sign off, just him

[obsidian wyvern]

doesn't the series x basically have the same logo

[elfin glacier]

I've made better/more unique logos in an mspaint clone

i'm not even lying

I'm not even doing this because I hate Elon, the series x looks so much better

[cedar turret]

I actually have a story about the latter, but it’s a no-go here

[elfin glacier]

series x

the consistent thickness adds a bit of balance, and the full line through the two shorter lines could represent a "breakthrough"

as a logo, the Unicode x is unbalanced and hollow. style over substance (and it doesn't even bring style to the table)

damn, wish there was something for ppl queuing with them too

[forest fog]

Ima check, i didn't see any announcement for it thou

[dreamy stirrup]

there's literally an in-game news article for it 🙂

[cedar turret]

Owls aren’t birds they’re appetizers

[obsidian wyvern]

if it's the blue one, I remember a tweet about it

[noble heart]

Hey, I haven't played Halo in like 10 years and just opened Halo Infinite. Did they get rid of the ability personally customize armor color?

All I see is a bunch of pre-made microtransaction/battle pass color schemes. I'm certain you were able to make you own color, exactly as you wanted in earlier games... 🤔

[elfin glacier]

hey @obsidian wyvern how's the weather

[prisma finch]

Yeah unfortunately they did for Infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

it's raining

[forest fog]

My bad, i forgot they added one thats diff from the mcc lol

[obsidian wyvern]

I think

[vapid siren]

the infinite one was announced before mcc's

they even talked about it on friday during the playdate

[elfin glacier]

it's overcast here rn but it was raining earlier

[noble heart]

SMFH. Microsoft gotta get those microtransaction/battle pass dollars. Massive L

[elfin glacier]

a welcome respite

[vapid siren]

idk man some of the coatings are kinda cool

[obsidian wyvern]

it was raining when I took this

[vapid siren]

bit more interesting than the black and red that most of yall pulled before

[dreamy stirrup]

yeah MCC's wasn't in the game until the update on the 12th

[obsidian wyvern]

also I think I just broke my hotel window LOL

[cedar turret]

Cool

[elfin glacier]

you're in Paris?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[noble heart]

You used to be able choose exact shades and colors. Infinitely more options then they have rn.

[cedar turret]

You should free climb that

sir.

[obsidian wyvern]

Italian food is unironically on top of everything

[vapid siren]

from there you find a good gelateria

[obsidian wyvern]

fine, croissants

Well, yeah, of course your childhood is dead. You grew up.

my brother in christ french spanish and italian are all just derivatives of latin its the same thing

[obsidian wyvern]

[cedar turret]

That’s not true. They’re all romantic languages so subsets of Romanian.

English is based on klingon

[vapid siren]

🤓

[fickle drift]

It's a derivi've

[vapid siren]

english is the drunken regret mess of latin and german and then because england had to go and cyberbully every country on earth irl a bit of everything else got mixed in

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't expect the accent there lol

[prisma finch]

Aw, at least you got to see the special lights! I bet it was super pretty!

[forest sentinel]

i will suck toes

[dreamy stirrup]

don't be weird, my guy

[late harbor]

Ya keep this pg ok

[forest sentinel]

Okay im sorry

[obsidian wyvern]

woah

[late harbor]

What the dessert!

[fickle drift]

Someone’s down bad

[dreamy stirrup]

Religieuse

[late harbor]

stomach is pleading for sugar

[balmy lance]

Is that a cream pie

[late harbor]

Some day I will order this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auT1bT0GDek

[solid ether]

it like 90 to 100% coca that slaps

[obsidian wyvern]

it's whatever Sam said

[obsidian wyvern]

is this just a hard apple pie

[coarse jackal]

Hey chat

[late harbor]

I think Chief is a dark chocolate guy

[solid ether]

im thinking to

[dreamy stirrup]

no. more closely related to apple turnover

[obsidian wyvern]

oh even better

[dreamy stirrup]

but with homemade compote and baked in puff pastry

[coarse jackal]

When’s the next halo coming out

[solid ether]

salutations

[late harbor]

Ya when, tell me tell me

[obsidian wyvern]

the pictures make it look hard if you get what I'm saying

[dreamy stirrup]

it's definitely not

it's delicious

[coarse jackal]

How u send pictures

[obsidian wyvern]

I think I've got a bakery near the hotel, I'll try get these

[dreamy stirrup]

you can probably find macaron but ehhhh

[obsidian wyvern]

inheritor role

[dreamy stirrup]

not worth the $, IMO

[calm fiber]

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

[dreamy stirrup]

unless you see a L'aduree or something. then maybe get one

just to try

[coarse jackal]

y’all should play brawlhalla it has a halo update

[late harbor]

When does the next season of Halo TV show releasing?

[obsidian wyvern]

I wasn't really a fan of them when I had them

[dreamy stirrup]

Paris-Brest is one of my favorites

[obsidian wyvern]

idk if I'd spend a lot to try it again

[dreamy stirrup]

yeah they're fine but ehh

[coarse jackal]

It came with 2 skins master chief and arbiter

[obsidian wyvern]

this is chaotic

[late harbor]

Arbiter is a great father figure

[dreamy stirrup]

hazelnut cream!

also i'm a sucker for mille feuille/napoleon

[obsidian wyvern]

mmm idk sometimes I like it sometimes I hate it

[candid solar]

Oh boy, i got my Halo cookbook

[obsidian wyvern]

how do you even remember these names

[hasty zinc]

sometime after today

date unknown

[dreamy stirrup]

am french.

am baker

lol

[late harbor]

Where u get it

[hasty zinc]

there's a spiral-bound version of the cookbook?!?

[obsidian wyvern]

so they're Mr Kipling's?

[coarse jackal]

I forgot halo got a show

[candid solar]

Amazon

[obsidian wyvern]

actually those are soft I think

[obsidian wyvern]

oh LOL

[fossil skiff]

I swear those are spinning at different rates

Just slightly

[hasty zinc]

left is faster

[obsidian wyvern]

not just me who noticed, good

[fossil skiff]

lul

I was playing h5 earlier with a friend since co-op achievement bugged and got launched to the bottom of the map

[hasty zinc]

did you survive?

[fossil skiff]

Temporarily

[obsidian wyvern]

I can't remember if you ever sent the clip of you dying to a ramp lol

[fossil skiff]

that game could give halo 2 a run for its money with the amount of weird things I encounter in it

I don’t think so but I can fish it up later

[dreamy stirrup]

[late harbor]

Bread! I love bread. Can't stop eating it.

[hasty zinc]

[fossil skiff]

My mom brought some home earlier with that uhh olive oil dip stuff

[coarse jackal]

I like turkey

[fossil skiff]

It was a literal slice of heaven

[late harbor]

Turkey and gravy. It's a must

Have fun peoples, I gtg. Peace out Spartans!

[lyric burrow]

that moment when you get a 4x noscope overkill and can't record it in theatre because you joined a match in-progress and theatre mode only lets you view from PoV of players who were in from the start

feelsbadman

[obsidian wyvern]

now you have a chance to make a really cool third person movie for the over

(I know the feeling of clips going wrong, it's the worst 😔 )

[lyric burrow]

i can't even do that, because theatre doesn't properly show people who joined after the match was underway - you just get a randomised spartan who always faces a single direction and slides everywhere (no animations)

[obsidian wyvern]

ohh thats why my Spartan sometimes has different armour pieces

[lament junco]

I wish 343 would add in Cross-Core armour mods

[fickle drift]

Surely there’s another way to get more xp in mcc

This 10 million xp gap is a long way away

[unborn wedge]

nope you have to suffer

[fickle drift]

Well yeah

[ancient sphinx]

Is halo infinite crossplay?

[hybrid nimbus]

fr the grind for mcc is unreal its like a billion xp for max rank

[fickle drift]

Grinding this game is a pain compared to infinite but like surely there’s a faster way

Besides getting bots in matchmaking

[fickle drift]

A billion is for the maximum level in max rank iirc

[hybrid nimbus]

challenges is really the only best way i know to get more

[fickle drift]

All I care about is the first rank since the rest are all the same

[fickle drift]

Man that sucks

I already did them lmao

[hybrid nimbus]

ik its brutal I stopped caring about my rank for mcc cause I know I aint getting very far haha

[lyric burrow]

yes

[fickle drift]

Visually I am so close to it

Currently tour 9 rank 24

[ancient sphinx]

Thx

[fickle drift]

So that’s maybe 36 or 37 tiers to go

[hybrid nimbus]

you know how much xp that is to get there about?

[fickle drift]

Probably the same amount as it took to get to where I am now haha

[hybrid nimbus]

honestly wouldn't be surprised lol

good luck with the grind you got it

[fickle drift]

I’m not good by any means but my guess is maybe swat grifball and firefight are the best modes to grind

The first one is pretty quick compared to the others

[hybrid nimbus]

corner camp in swat for a few hours a day youll be there no time

[fickle drift]

I get kills playing aggressively

Hate camping, gets me nowhere

But cheers though

[hybrid nimbus]

I only camp certain maps on swat like argyle on infinite just a ridiculous swat map for me

[fickle drift]

I meant MCC

[woven dew]

would a shotgun be a good weapon for a marine medic

spartan medic i mean

not marine

[hybrid nimbus]

what do you play most for swat in mcc

game

[fickle drift]

Any

[hybrid nimbus]

yeah fair

[upbeat fox]

Mcc is great

[fickle drift]

It’s not

[upbeat fox]

It helps me catch up with story and lore

I’m not into the multiplayer

[fickle drift]

Oh yeah campaign it’s great

[upbeat fox]

Yeee

[fickle drift]

Highly suggest

[upbeat fox]

Have been doing so

Reach fr

🥲

[hybrid nimbus]

multiplayer good for customs tho for sure

[upbeat fox]

Hmm

[regal chasm]

Best advice I can give ya Rev is don't spit on snails. Stuff's good.

[hasty zinc]

are there people going around spitting on snails? that sounds rude

[fickle drift]

Multiplayer sucks outside of NA but customs are alright

[upbeat fox]

I did a bit of private multiplayer

[fickle drift]

There are some whacky modes I like such as desert bus

[upbeat fox]

I felt which ones I disliked most

[candid solar]

:c Those poor snails

[regal chasm]

I assusme I got the "Spit on x" saying wrong.

[hybrid nimbus]

are you not NA

[fickle drift]

No

[upbeat fox]

Where?

[fickle drift]

Oceania, no players in mp

[hasty zinc]

nah, I know what you meant. Just new boot goofin'

[fickle drift]

West US is all I got for a ‘fair’ chance

[upbeat fox]

Oh

[hybrid nimbus]

hows ping for that

[fickle drift]

Horrible

Like 160+

[hybrid nimbus]

oh damn im sorry to hear that

Im US East so I have no room to complain about servers or ping

[upbeat fox]

NAE very nice

[fickle drift]

hey @upbeat fox

[upbeat fox]

Hm?

Hi

[fickle drift]

how are you?

[upbeat fox]

I’m great, yourself?

[fickle drift]

pretty awesome
listening to music from the halo games

[upbeat fox]

Very nice

[fickle drift]

All good, I have to settle with blood shots, getting shot through walls, losing melee fights I initiate and bot teammates

But other than that, it’s pretty chill

[fickle drift]

also i downloaded some halo add ons for garry's mod

[hybrid nimbus]

oh for sure sounds pretty calm

[upbeat fox]

Oh! I don’t use a pc but that’s interesting to hear!

[hybrid nimbus]

must be cracked tho when youre on a good connection if thats your usual

[fickle drift]

and one of the add ons i downloaded was the hud from combat evolved

[stable night]

Can I sell things in here?

[fickle drift]

No

[stable night]

Ok

[fickle drift]

That’s why I play infinite

I’m literally restricted to certain modes like quick play, social skirmish etc

But when I get 25ms I can do well

Just depends on if I go against a stack and have monkey teammates

[hybrid nimbus]

you ever try btb or squad battle or is it like unplayable

[upbeat fox]

Halo CE?

I didn’t know halo infinite had Lekgolo’s

[timber charm]

343 pls make more wep models thx

[haughty loom]

hi is there a staff member i can talk to privately

it's important

[hasty zinc]

you can message @bleak yoke if it's a moderation issue (regarding this discord specifically)

[fickle drift]

Sometimes I can get btb games which give good xp

Like when btb unlimited was in rotation it was like a gold mine for me to farm points

[timber charm]

squad battle is crazy fun tbh

[cloud tundra]

Me waiting for people to play the game so I can play 🛌 😴

[fickle drift]

I know a lot of people are like “squad battle is perfect, this is real btb, make it permanent” etc

[timber charm]

ITS SO FUN

[fickle drift]

I think it sucks and doesn’t belong in halo infinite

[timber charm]

😕

[fickle drift]

The maps aren’t fun to play on

[cloud tundra]

Honestly wish they would just add AI to mp for low playercount

Just so I can get challenges done and not waste hours waiting

[hybrid nimbus]

I somewhat agree the maps obviously aren't made for infinite in mind only thing I like more from squad battle is there are more vehicle spawns and it feels like the spawn in quicker than regular btb

[fickle drift]

My biggest dislike is that it’s vehicle focused

And people in infinite are allergic to driving

[hybrid nimbus]

I love playing with vehicles haha

[fickle drift]

Or using their brains with it

[cloud tundra]

I think it was a good idea as a mode to utilise vehicles more

They were pretty limited to btb

[leaden storm]

Dude ever since this new season, I've been getting this very funny bug where my game will just drop to 20 - 30 FPS and reduce its render resolution to the minimum. God, I've reached my absolute limit with this technical atrocity

[charred fossil]

hey, not sure if its okay to ask here, but my Halo Infinite campaign save file got lost in a move, and was wondering if someone could kindly send me theirs. I want to do a game replay ideally with all skulls to start, thank you 🙂

[hybrid nimbus]

pride myself in being an elite warthog driver 😤

[fickle drift]

My scores are low in that mode usually because I get ganged up on in the tight areas, we get spawn killed by the abundance of vehicles that my teammates don’t use or the fact that I have to drive people since they just let go of their controller when they get in the gunner

I definitely see it, they usually drive head first into another hog or are usually facing away from where I honk in front of them

[open stratus]

Id rather have 10 unskippable 30 second ads
Than have 5 unskippable 30 second ads

[lavish matrix]

I'd rather watch 5 min of ads at the beginning than 3 min of ads spread throughout a video.

[hybrid nimbus]

going around no vehicle as an infantry is tough especially if theres a wasp on the map that sits over you spawn and none of you team goes after it seen that one plenty of times

[fickle drift]

There’s usually nothing but snipers to deal with vehicles

[cloud tundra]

I think vehicle balancing isn’t just there yet in terms of health

[hybrid nimbus]

hydra actually pretty solid

[cloud tundra]

Uncs stuff mostly is fine

[hollow willow]

I miss the spartan laser

[hybrid nimbus]

most real statement I ever heard best power weapon

[fickle drift]

Skewer is good
