They already brought Bloom back don't tempt fate lol

[blissful lava]

Armor Lock for season 5 if we aren't careful

[exotic abyss]

Oh god

[blissful lava]

Hated armor lock 😂

[exotic abyss]

What was the point

What for people to stop shooting you?

[blissful lava]

It just made combat slower than it needed to be and wasn't fun (imo) to go up against or even use

[fickle drift]

Armor lock was Goated

[exotic abyss]

Every time I activate armor lock a guy with a shotgun or energy sword would wait 2 feet away from me and proceed to murder me the second I came out

[blissful lava]

I will admit you could make some cool plays with it

[fickle drift]

Sounds like a skill issue

[exotic abyss]

Yeah I duck out of the way of a sniper with it once

[fickle drift]

I think being a counter to getting splattered was probably intended to be the more common use, they advertised it that way a lot
But folk got more use out of it in 4v4s where they'd just hide until their team picked up the kill or timed the i-frames to block a melee or 'no-u' a sword user

Armour lock vs Ghost 🌞

[bold sparrow]

Really good Armor Lock users were such a pain

[fickle drift]

Yessssssss

[hearty flame]

People who use Armor Lock for the invincibility < People who use armor lock for EMP, deflection functionality, and vehicle destruction

[fickle drift]

People who use armour lock to troll and be annoying > Everyone else

[hearty flame]

People > Everyone else

[fickle drift]

We love antisocial behaviour involving armour lock 🌞

Omfg can my teammates stop being so stupid

Like genuinely it's so annoyingtat this point

Stop rushing in trying to 1v2 every single game

To all platinum players out there stop being slow

Mad cuz bad. Simple as 🌚

[earnest umbra]

even in Onyx they do that TBH

[fickle drift]

I love team mates 🌝

[earnest umbra]

sometimes

[fickle drift]

Always 🌞

[tranquil elk]

Greetings, this may not be the place but may I ask:
Where can we contact a moderator from Halo Master Chief Collection Steam Forums?
Thanks for any responses in advance and apologies if I'm setting this question in the wrong place!

[fickle drift]

Wrong place... Scram!

[tranquil elk]

I already apologized if it's the wrong place, there's no need for you to be rude :/

[candid solar]

I miss this, but mostly for custom games or specific mode potential.

[fickle drift]

Yeah sure you are prob that teammate lol

[vagrant patrol]

You are everywhere you need to be, always.

[candid solar]

Now you have to make a sort of 'loadout room' which is just plain annoying.

[fickle drift]

No u

[worthy ether]

Anyone remember jt machinima?

[fickle drift]

No

[candid solar]

Like, it used to be that you could set up different loadouts for a sort of Trench Warfare game mode, and it'd simplify matters.

But now it kinda just doesn't let you, which can kneecap some bits of creativity.

[worthy ether]

They used to make halo music using machinima

[fickle drift]

Ooo

[worthy ether]

Now they only really make mascot horror music

[steady jolt]

No need for that, keep it civil please

[fickle drift]

It was a joke

[chilly flint]

This conversation is making my headache worse.

[chilly flint]

[fickle drift]

Well, I pull out Halo Spartan Strike howaboutthat?

[worthy ether]

Screw apple

Pulls out halo ce for Android fake edition on you

[fickle drift]

I surrender 🏳️‍

I am hereby conceding all of my territory

Also, I commit to an agreement to not rearm for the next 50+ years.

[worthy ether]

But seriously I saw halo ce apk and I died laughing

[fickle drift]

I used to play BioShock on the IPhone lol

[worthy ether]

I prefer android

[fickle drift]

Me too

I have an Android now

IOS is mega cringe

[worthy ether]

The fan base for iOS is cringe

Bro we need a halo mobile

[fickle drift]

We need a Halo for Nintendo Switch 🌚

[worthy ether]

Halo is Xbox exclusive

[fickle drift]

I knowwww 😭

[queen remnant]

They should release it for PS and switch

[fickle drift]

So sad. Nintendo and Microsoft should team up to bully Sony

We HATE Sony 😡😡😡

[steady jolt]

Let's not

[worthy ether]

But ps is at war with xbox

[steady jolt]

No console wars here please

[queen remnant]

The more players to experience Halo the better

[fickle drift]

Microsoft is the Fellowship 😁🌞 and Sony is Mordor 👁

[queen remnant]

And this goes to any exclusive games btw

[worthy ether]

That's never gonna happen

[fickle drift]

We need to keep Halo gatekept!

[worthy ether]

An exclusive is an exclusive

[fickle drift]

Only the chosen shall experience its majesty!

[dreamy stirrup]

[worthy ether]

Lets talk about this elsewhere

[fickle drift]

Okay 🌞

[obsidian wyvern]

why don't we all play infinite

[fickle drift]

Cause I'm busy playing Spartan Assault!!!

[worthy ether]

I haven't gotten my Xbox yet

[obsidian wyvern]

even better

[fickle drift]

A person of higher cultural knowledge I see

[worthy ether]

I have a burning hate towards rts games

[fickle drift]

Why isn't the description for team slayer accurate

I have a burning hatred toward Hip Hop Music

[fickle drift]

Idk, just isn't I guess

[smoky token]

aneurysm

[worthy ether]

Bro can we talk in dms I wanna make a joke but I can't do it in here

[fickle drift]

Okay 🌞

I think we need to create a real life Great Journey!

[smoky token]

is there something you need?

[vestal wolf]

Hi I'm Poppy

[fickle drift]

I'm Poppy

[tranquil elk]

Yes. I would like help with something if possible.

[vestal wolf]

I hope to create my own internet one day.

[rugged bloom]

Hi just wanting to get back into reach. Anyone know how to get into some matches

[vestal wolf]

Start the game
Go to matchmaking
Give it a minute or two

[fickle drift]

Today we're going to interview this plant 🪴

[rugged bloom]

Is there many games left.

[vestal wolf]

Hi

Today I'm on the floor

[smoky token]

You can DM me right now but I may ask that we move to Steam PMs at some point

[obsidian wyvern]

r u on 360

or mcc

[rugged bloom]

Yes bud

[fickle drift]

Favourite Poppy Album?

[vestal wolf]

Oh then no

[obsidian wyvern]

you can't find games online anymore

[rugged bloom]

Thanks dude

[tranquil elk]

Whatever is more appropriate/suitable for you. I've sent you a friend request on discord but Steam is equally alright.

[vestal wolf]

Oh tough one

This year's been really good but I'm waiting for the album to decide

AIAG though was my favourite for years but I like to add Flux in

[candid solar]

Poppy to Poppy communication.

Poppy to Poppy conversation.

[modest osprey]

Can 343 please improve the mcc anti cheat 😩 there’s just too many hackers on mcc now

[fickle drift]

Yeah! AIAG is such a great album! Love Chic Chick and Play Destroy.

I must say though that I really do love her metal stuff too. So I can't really decide. Either way, Knock off was a banger!

If I had to chose though, probably either AIAG or I Disagree. (I do love Flux though, especially the title track and Lessen the Damage)

[vestal wolf]

🙏🙏🙏

Play Destroy always makes me wonder how We Appreciate Power would've gone if they didn't fall out

From I Disagree, definitely love the title track and Concrete; I love her metal stuff but more the pop metal tracks, like X as well

[fickle drift]

Me too! Their collaboration had so much potential. Definitely a massive shame :((

Either way, love Poppy. Her and MARINA are my two favourite artists.

[modest osprey]

Please tell me there’s a anticheat update coming soon for mcc. It’s getting overran by cheaters

[fickle drift]

Solution: Stop cheating 🌞

[modest osprey]

They won’t

They all use mod tools like midnight to use cheats in matchmaking

[vestal wolf]

Same haha; I might give MARINA a listen sometime, I also like Aurora and Lorde

[fickle drift]

Lorde is great. Love her stuff!

[coarse sun]

Does the double xp boost only count for challenges?
It doesnt count for any match complete or top 50% of team stuff

[obsidian wyvern]

bruh why

[tender wyvern]

Idk why

[obsidian wyvern]

the console companion app is so much better at what it does than the Xbox app

[tender wyvern]

I got that too

[fickle drift]

Xbox App don't work for me

I sound like a Robot in parties 💀

Discord works fine though. It's a real nuisance.

[steady jolt]

I imagine other functionality of the old app will come in time, but aspects that maybe weren't used will probably be dropped.

[wind bridge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/868627474400047155.gif?size=48&name=wha&quality=lossless

[obsidian wyvern]

the companion app was just so much smoother than the Xbox one

it was like the one good app from Microsoft

[vapid siren]

[smoky token]

Microsoft try to make any program without at least a gigabyte of bloat challenge (impossible)

[small ferry]

Hello I need help, I want to get back in the day achievement on pc, do I need anything else except 3 other players, which I find very hard?

[bronze breach]

Taking a break from discord for the past 2 days and infinite this week feels so good

[obsidian wyvern]

was wondering where you were

[plain lagoon]

I can’t find my tickets to ice spice

Oh this is not the right discord

[smoky token]

lol

[severe basalt]

christ campers on scarr are just... I don't even

[scenic dragon]

hey guys this might be pretty niche but does anyone know who the youtuber is that made videos about going "Behind the scenes" in halo reach cutscenes? i wanna see the one in winter contingency where you get abushed by zealots and punch one in the face

might be generalkidd actually

but idk if he made one of those videos on that cutscene

[earnest fossil]

should i redownload this game

havent played it in forever

[severe basalt]

Up to you

[earnest fossil]

is the game even good

idk

[fickle drift]

sup im new here

[brave prairie]

That’s gamecheat13 and the video is playable cutscenes

[viral dune]

Hi new here, I'm Icky Spartan

[earnest fossil]

hi

[fickle drift]

sup

[round laurel]

Yes, it's free and a relatively small download compared to other triple-A MP games.

[earnest fossil]

is the campaign any good?

[round laurel]

For Game Pass or a heavy discount, yes.

[pliant hatch]

which game

[severe basalt]

campers kinda just make you wanna quit this game sigh

[fickle drift]

im pretty sure campers are in every game tho lmao

[pliant hatch]

yes, dating back to original CE

[fickle drift]

i miss being able to play ce at a lan party

[earnest fossil]

pretty much goes for every game

[severe basalt]

Campaign is amazing imo

[severe basalt]

Sure but I feel like there were a lot bigger maps then

I keep getting Scarr on BTB and its too small

[bronze breach]

Just been watching movie recaps on youtube and just chilling and not going on computer for once.

I think I wont play infinite for another week.

Feel so good not worrying about btb kd every match

[clear sequoia]

Hello

Alright my name is back I think

[rain latch]

No

[clear sequoia]

Hi sam

Dang this chat dry

[mellow yoke]

Sam

How do I get the earth unicorn?

[earnest umbra]

🤷‍♂️

[hasty zinc]

discord giveaways

[steady jolt]

And some Twitch streams, I think

Oh, no it was streaming Infinite for 15 minutes

[hearty flame]

Streaming it in Discord right?

[steady jolt]

Yep

There's chat about doing some giveaways again

[lapis dirge]

Hello chat

[earnest umbra]

i got the drop through discord a while back i think thats how i got it

[spare oak]

Can we say spoilers in the chat

[steady jolt]

Prefer they at least be spoiler tagged, but depends what it is you want to talk about?

[spare oak]

I was just asking

[tired bolt]

Hello chat

[real hemlock]

When they doing the next one do you know?

[rare cedar]

[median wharf]

does the infinite campaign provide any closure on the halo 5 story or is it something completely random

[muted rose]

Eh, both

[rare cedar]

That's a great question for the #lore-and-universe channel 😄

[haughty wraith]

My brother and his friend really tried bragging about beating me in a 2v1 so now im making them mad rn

Absolutely whooping them currently

[misty solstice]

kinda does and doesnt if that makes sense

[steady jolt]

I need to check LinkedIn more, missing out on some cool stuff and announcements

Just saw Eric Dies is moving on from 343, he worked on some cool stuff

[undone stone]

Imagine the day when Halo Infinite on PC allows people to use their Steam user names rather than the Xbox ID.

[rare cedar]

I'd rather not see some highly inappropriate names in the games

I already get my fill in D2 and BattleBits

[winter flame]

Just change ur gt to ur steam name…

[queen remnant]

D2 names

It's also that I think all Microsoft games has to use your Xbox ID anyways, right? I remember that in Sea of Thieves and in Forza

[amber mirage]

Yeah. Since they run off of Xbox's online infrastructure, they use Xbox/MS accounts and the associated gamertags.

[rare cedar]

yep

[amber mirage]

Infinite using Steam names has pretty much zero chance of happening

[smoky token]

I saw someone on Infinite named LambFornicator or something like that

plenty of names can get past Xbox’s filter

[rare cedar]

For sure

[obsidian wyvern]

https://vxtwitter.com/XLR8_LIVE/status/1685767888169226240?t=X33hc9P92z5aLU7MAW9Khw&s=19

[amber mirage]

I'm actually kind of surprised Infinite doesn't use the updated Gamertag display system that properly shows discriminators in the tags

[amber mirage]

I'm surprised they knew how to move. It looked like they were struggling for a good bit.

[obsidian wyvern]

seeing this in season 4 threw me off

[coarse sun]

what

[hearty flame]

Wdym "What," it's season 4 and there are 4 default armor setups

[bold sparrow]

Thats a lot of first timers.
That, or they're going for a specific look.

The one on the left is an HCS skin

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont even think they were all in the same fireteam

[hearty flame]

Guy on the right definitely just likes the Recruit look

[undone stone]

The Xbox gamertag system is horrendous and I don't know why it hasn't changed. 12 characters and having four numbers following your name is abysmal.

[hearty flame]

It's a gamertag system from a time long gone

[winter flame]

i only have 2 numbers because im cool

[obsidian wyvern]

isnt that that new system which discord basically had

(which was stupidly changed)

[winter flame]

they switched to discord's system so discord was like hey that't not cool and switched to the system xbox use to have

i guess discord's system is most like steam, a username and a display name

[queen remnant]

And look how they handle it in Discord

I prefer more having a name with a numbers like Xbox does or Discord did before

[fickle drift]

ive had the same gamertag probably since 360 (with some minor variations like clans etc) but i totally get that

[supple shale]

@dreamy stirrup what is your position in 343 industrys?

It's alright if you don't want to answer

I was just wondering

[bold sparrow]

Someone remind me to do a funny ragdoll compliation for show-and-tell, I got a bunch on one of the new maps.
I dont know what it is about this remake of Waterworks but if you're anywhere near a wall or a floor and you die to an explosive your Spartan starts doing the worm.

[coarse sun]

yeah but why

that must mean you are using the default armor

well not u the guy who posted

[bold sparrow]

Some people like Calvilino. Its a clean skin, wont lie.

[pulsar cobalt]

I wouldn't tag 343 devs lol

[coarse sun]

yeah but nothing else on it

[cedar turret]

When we gonna get pirate mjolnir

cutlasses, powered peglegs, and eye patches for all.

[amber mirage]

After COG armor

[bold sparrow]

We cant be out of Fractures, we gotta have at least one or two more.
We got vikings, romans, and knights in MCC, lets get pirates next.

[pure gate]

Once I find my controller i'm joining tonight's BTB session

[bold sparrow]

We got samurai. Where's my pirate vs ninja.

[pure gate]

Okay, that would be sick

I kind of want cowboys too

[cedar turret]

Buck already has armor

[bold sparrow]

Only if we get actual leather holsters.

[bold sparrow]

Browncoat-class MJLONIR when.

[pure gate]

Because a MJOLNIR Cowboy Hat would look a little goofy

[pulsar cobalt]

Mark IV first then other cores

[candid solar]

We already got santa hat.

[bold sparrow]

I think MK IV is the inevitable next canon core.

[cedar turret]

who cares it'll be fun

[pure gate]

Oh, MS rolled out the new dashboard to Xbox One too

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm not lol

[bold sparrow]

TBH, it would be cool if we eventually got a Destiny style bit where everything old is new again.
One armor core for everything, MK IV through VII

[cedar turret]

Don't let your hangups get in the way of fun

[candid solar]

GEN2 core or bust

[bold sparrow]

Seeker returns.
50 dollar bundle.
STONKS.

[candid solar]

Hell, I'd buy it.

[pure gate]

Yeah, all I'm saying is it'd look a little silly

[cedar turret]

Sill want cosplay cardbaord armor too

[coarse sun]

a

[pure gate]

But that's fine

[coarse sun]

then how the pic

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah no one is buying it for 50

[bold sparrow]

You'd be surprised considering how many people Ive seen wearing the new stuff from this weeks store.

[obsidian wyvern]

we lost, that was the end game pic

[candid solar]

GEN2 "Greatest hits" pack; Goblin, Seeker, Legionnaire, and Breaker.

[bold sparrow]

And how many people in Magpie's 5k subscriber "drip or drown" were rockin the stuff from last weeks.

[pulsar cobalt]

Yoroi is a good core so not surprised

[obsidian wyvern]

no one being 343 making significantly less from selling it for 50

significant may not be right, but they wouldn't be making as much

[candid solar]

Hence why I'd say a 'greatest hit' pack

But like, you can buy em all seperate

[stiff trout]

Anyone else having problems finding a match? Been waiting an hour

[cedar turret]

Ooh and armor designed to give the appearance of a zoot suit or a flapper dress

[coarse sun]

o

dang and u lost

[stiff trout]

lol the moment I ask it pops

[fossil skiff]

I’d be very happy

[stiff trout]

Question, if I kill someone in Infinite who is sword lunging at me with my shotgun, and I die, is that because of ping? Shouldn't I have stopped them from killing me and got a bulltrue?

[eager mango]

Chilling on halo

[pure gate]

I like the idea of also a more tactical looking fracture set

Or post apocalyptic

[cedar turret]

It can be either. It's not ping, but you can pop the medal and still die. That was true in earlier games too.

[chilly ermine]

Do you guys think that the color scheme power suit hero is a reference to samus

[cedar turret]

Ping is when I backsmack a guy and get a showstopper in reach and then it tried to go into the animation for them assassinating me.

[chilly ermine]

It's the same colors as samus

[cedar turret]

yeah, the power suit in the metroid games comes in a variety of colours. And usually changes in game several times.

https://tenor.com/view/samus-super-metroid-nintendo-snes-samus-aran-gif-22070591

[stiff trail]

I'm sorry but I have to rant here because I'm sick of it. Despite me for over a year now sending it problem tickets I can't anymore.

All Xbox issues.

Starting off with Variable refresh rate on Xbox completely messing up the frame pacing on infinite, causing it to not reach a stable 60 or 120 ever with it turned on. When turning off Variable refresh rate, it'll hold a stable 120 or but face the same frame timing issues on 60 which causes stuttering. Also with Variable turned off and a stable 120, once you load into a btb map that lowers your frames or any possible drop in arena maps, a stable 120 goes completely out the window. It'll drop to about 80-90 frames consistency, even on maps where if you restarted your game, it would be a stable 120 again. Basically the best experience offered on console currently for consistency is 60 frames with Variable refresh rate turned off and refresh rate set to 60, not 120.

[chilly ermine]

Skill issue

(I'm joking)

[cedar turret]

I hit the drive thru after my shift today and when the clerk handed me my reciept he was explaining to a woman in one of the cars behind me how combos work.

and it was new information for her.

[stiff trail]

You'd think that Halo on Xbox would be the smoothest game on there but it's actually like the roughest game that makes me switch eternal settings on my Xbox everything I boot it up just so it can run smoothly

[stiff trout]

I didn't get a metal either time, so I don't know what that means lol

[chilly ermine]

What xbox do you play on

[stiff trail]

Series X

[chilly ermine]

Huh

[hearty flame]

Maybe she was new to Western culture

[cedar turret]

How did you get bulltrue if you didn't get a medal? You're contradicting yourself

[cedar turret]

or earth

[stiff trout]

What I'm saying is I did the thing that would normally get the bulltrue. If you read in my orginal statement, it said, "Shouldn't I have stoped them from kiling me and got a bulltrue?"

Emphisis on "Shouldn't I have" and "got a bulltrue"

I killed them as they lunged at me, but we both die and I got no metal.

[cedar turret]

No. You can get a bulltrue and still die.

You can definitely get die if you don't.

[chilly ermine]

But recharge is right halo is a pretty western thing

[calm fiber]

To disable the ping/tag when replying, please click or tap the "on" button at the right hand side of the chat box in order to turn it off.
For users on PC, if you hold Shift while clicking reply the tag will be automatically turned off.

[stiff trout]

Okay, I wonder why I didn't get the bull true metal then, that's odd.

[cedar turret]

That wasn't about halo.

I've actually gotten bulltrue for shooting sword users who were attacking other players

[vapid siren]

that is all

[stiff trout]

I guess me not getting the bulltrue was because the game didn't see them dying before I did or something.

[chilly ermine]

That's sick

[stiff trout]

That looks like a good time.

[vapid siren]

it was

[chilly ermine]

What was it

[vapid siren]

worlds

steve and jen were there and here they are doing the trolli shooting range thingy

[chilly ermine]

? What's worlds

[vapid siren]

its the first image for the info blog for htis years' worlds https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halowc2023

[vapid siren]

the end of competition year lan event. Halo World Championships

[stiff trout]

I just wanna have that needler in my room

[chilly ermine]

Oh okay that's kool

[vapid siren]

then buy it

https://hasbropulse.com/products/nerf-lmtd-halo-needler

hundo bucks

ez

[stiff trout]

Listen. Buying and having are two different things haha

[vapid siren]

just have money

[stiff trout]

You right.

Honestly not a bad price for how good it looks

[chilly ermine]

Yeah

[stiff trout]

I feel like the needler is probably the most iconic weapon

[stiff trail]

Sent it another problem ticket. I think that's my 9th one now. I'm sure I'll get the same reply back that they will look into it again. I'm sure another year will pass that it doesn't get fixed again.

[cedar turret]

In halo? It's probably the most unique. Especially in ce

[stiff trout]

Yeah, for sure.

[cedar turret]

plasma pistol = just stunning weapon
plasma rifle = standard energy gun
UNSC weapons all have common video game counterparts
Needler = shoots a bunch of tiny piece of straw that explode when you get enough of them together which can really hurt you if you do it wrong

[stiff trout]

pink spikes, gotta stick out- and in

[cedar turret]

Not saying there weren't other similar game weapons before (there might have been), but it's certainly the most out of the box.

[stiff trail]

Rest in piece old distruptor. It was unique

[cedar turret]

not really a bunch of things will blank out the enemy's phone

and tazers exist irl.

[stiff trail]

Nothing else in halp did overtime damage directly to a spartan that I know of

In Halo lol

[cedar turret]

in infinite alone you've got the ravagers secondary fire for dps

[dusty sparrow]

hey guys

anyone have node scripts that make bots drive?

i've seen some scripts but they're too confusing for my pea brain

[wicked ferry]

anyone wanna chill and play sum team slayer dm me

[stiff trail]

Yeah but I was very specific on how I said it. Nothing else does overtime damage directly to a spartan. One that sticks with you on a single target.

For this server to be the cornerstone of all Halo games I’m surprised it’s not that active

[stiff trail]

But in other Halos like Halo 5, forunner weapons track targets and the new distruptor explodes when it hits a target enough so yeah idk

[river wigeon]

i got a question
for custom games in halo ifninite, do you bring your fireteam with you?

[novel tangle]

im so used to infinite bruh, what button settings do yall recommend for halo 5, i feel like a noob again playing warzone lol

[cedar turret]

play with your feet

Then you can use one controller with your hands and one with your feet and as long as you've got two xboxes with gold accounts take everyone by surprise with your solo tag team

[dusty sparrow]

hey guys how do you add bots to an object list?

[river wigeon]

i just found out with my friend no need to tell, you cant

[undone stone]

I will say this: the shock rifle is tough to use. I need more practice with it.

[candid schooner]

give us the OG menus for MCC

[naive panther]

hello,was just wondering if anybody could assist me with an issue i have for MCC,not sure where else to go as xbox live support wasnt much help

[mellow yoke]

If I stream infinite for 15min on twitch am I able to get earth unicorn?

[hasty zinc]

I do not belive that is a current promotion

[dusty sparrow]

hey guys

is there a way to make bots drive?

[hasty zinc]

yeah it ended on Dec 30th 2022

[mellow yoke]

Did the lightning unicorn come out yet?

[dusty sparrow]

???

[fickle drift]

Can my teammates stop going afk mid match

Literally will forever be stuck in plat 1

[modest lichen]

Does anyone know how to make gravity lifts go higher in forge

[cedar turret]

Did you try placing one grav lift on another?

[mellow bane]

Chat chat is this a W or an L

[shell agate]

Guys I got a great idea
Just the Skewer
But the spike is a massive needler crystal

I’m so tired

[novel tangle]

its already in the game, its called the volatile skewer

[cedar turret]

What if the skewer fired kebabs

[shell agate]

Fine then. Needle shotgun

[stoic rapids]

Well that was actually a discord promotion for some reason

Had to have like 2 or 1 viewer watching your discord stream

But yeah it's over now

[haughty wraith]

They should make a game based on the mona lisa ship instead of an ODST game

They as in 343

Or instead of a BR

[smoky token]

He says, as if 343 has ever stated that they are working on such projects

[split bone]

What channel do i ask questions about halo infinite forge?

[rare cedar]

Best I can do is #lfg-forge

[thorny glen]

No idea

[thorny glen]

Depends on the day or time of day really. Some days it's super active, some days it's active occasionally, and some days it's slow.

[thorny glen]

wouldn't #1075989764026675210 work?

[rare cedar]

Perhaps

[real hemlock]

hi everyone!

[south sundial]

Hello

Agis_0197

How is everyone doing

[fickle drift]

im doin good

[south sundial]

That good

[neon halo]

Why do you have 2004 in your name?

[supple shale]

Hello

[south sundial]

I no idea

[neon halo]

You were born in 2004 weren’t you

[south sundial]

Yes

I was born in 2004

[undone stone]

Baby

Around that time, I was still in high school getting hyped up over Halo 2 being released.

[supple shale]

Man I even when I was bor. In 2009 I still felt nostalgia from play old halo games

[unborn wedge]

back pain now?

[rare cedar]

I was in Iraq in 2009

[undone stone]

Whenever I have to carry scrubs.

[unborn wedge]

👍🏻

[undone stone]

2005/2006 and 2007 for me.

[rare cedar]

[timid warren]

The old halo days where you stood outside a GameStop line on midnight releases. Infinite doesn’t even come close

Actually pretty sad

[unborn wedge]

gaming in general doesn't come close anymore

because the companies got greedy

🤷🏻‍♂️

[hard marten]

true

[tight remnant]

A lot of you also grew up

[undone stone]

The last midnight release for a Halo game I attended was back in 2010 for Halo Reach. I got the game pre-ordered because I wanted that recon helmet.

[fickle drift]

Hello. How are you?

[candid solar]

Sitting outside waiting for a game to release got obsoleted by an ever changing and evolving world.

It also sucked to do, but nobody remembers the sucking part, especially not when you can leverage your nostalgia for cheap, shallow critique.

[undone stone]

One of the best midnight releases ever was when I was waiting for Black Ops 2. We had some people cooking lots of sausages on a mini grill and talking about how good we were in MW3

[candid solar]

I mostly remember being cold and 'excited' for a game I likely wasn't going to get to play that night anyways.

Either way, I prefer the now. I can get sloshed on a first night release with people I know, and I don't have to be cold and annoyed by people.

[fickle drift]

I wait for 5 and wars 2 on steam

[timid warren]

I disagree man, games today objectively aren’t that good so it’s not really a fair convo on how we’d react to newer games that were just as good, there’s literally none to have that talk to begin with lol

[candid solar]

That's... Not objective, but alright.

Like, literally by definition, it can't be objective. It's a highly varied entertainment medium.

[timid warren]

Ties perfectly with this point and I didn’t even read it yet, this is why that convo can’t exist

[candid solar]

Ugh.

[timid warren]

Completely agree times changed so no one needs to stand in lines anymore but there’s very few games that could replicate the same hype we felt back then

Not because we got older though, newer games generally aren’t that good

[candid solar]

Oh, no, it's 100% getting older.

More responsibilities, less free time, more understanding and concerns about money (Hopefully, if you're smart), a world that's on fire.

There is so much more important things going on in everyone's lives and games are just another medium meant to distract. They became less important because there's more noise.

[timid warren]

Nah, Halo objectively gotten worse even if you gave an 8 year old kid the remote they’d rather play older Halo games I bet 💀

[candid solar]

Subjectively.

[fickle drift]

Damm

[candid solar]

I vastly prefer playing 5 and Infinite over 2 and 3.

Hell, I disliked playing them over other games when they came out.

[timid warren]

I mean don’t have the argument with me, argue with the thousands of YouTubers that universally agreed infinite was the worst Halo and gave millions of valid points

[candid solar]

I really don't care what opinions nostalgia grifters have.

They're there to sell you a product, and that product is their opinion. They have a vested interest in follower counts and establishing opinion cults.

Just so happens that they're good at selling that product to a group of aging people who defined their franchise as being better on the basis of being the last of a dying breed of game.

[errant crown]

interesting

[timid warren]

So you’re saying Halo games pre Reach was better? I’d argue most people would universally agree old Halo games were better

[candid solar]

No.

[timid warren]

Like 90%

[candid solar]

And I don't know where you got me saying "Halo games pre Reach were better".

[candid solar]

Both an exaggeration and a point of proof for people not having taste.

[timid warren]

If old Halo was better that proves my point that Halo gotten worse not cause we’re older but they’re objectively worse 💀

[candid solar]

But they aren't better.

They aren't even better compared to their primary competition in terms of graphics, story, dialogue, gameplay improvements.

At this point, you're just abusing the word 'objective'.

[quartz ridge]

That is beyond false.

[candid solar]

I had something I wanted to say regarding clockwork orange and its eye clamps scene, but the moment's passed.

[quartz ridge]

At least with current halo we actually get context behind the main characters in the games

[candid solar]

Abusing the word 'objective' actually really irks me. People don't appreciate that word enough. They add it on like some sort of Redditor-tier 'gotcha' like it's an extra bullet point that somehow supports their argument just by being included.

[quasi tree]

hi

[tight remnant]

That annoys me as well

[tight remnant]

Oh yes halo 5 had amazing multiplayer

[timid warren]

Add in microstransactions and paywalls for classic armor and it balances the scale, I’d argue the cons outweigh the pros

[tight remnant]

That's what does it for you?

[timid warren]

Meanwhile older Halos were the complete opposite

[candid solar]

That's a hell of a lot to leverage on one fractional component of a larger whole.

$120.

[timid warren]

Obviously there’s a lot more that goes into it but that’s an hours long conversation lol

[candid solar]

Actually, wait, how much was XBLG back in 2009?

[quartz ridge]

And the older halos didn’t have paywall behind game content?

[quasi tree]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-elite-halo-halo-sangheili-halo-combat-evolved-t-bag-gif-24883223

[quartz ridge]

The only thing bungie halos did objectively better than 343 halos was release with more content at launch.

[candid solar]

Like $8/month, rihgt

[timid warren]

Not as much as the horrendous system we have today, i can’t even remember older halos having micro transactions if they even had one 💀

[tight remnant]

so someone convinently doesn't remember map packs?

[candid solar]

Yeah, and that's something I outright wouldn't deny. I'd disagree with the amount of care I have about it-I enjoyed Infinite just fine well before Forge.

[quartz ridge]

Facts

[quasi tree]

https://tenor.com/view/the-arbiter-master-chief-gif-22134808

[quartz ridge]

They used to lock people out of certain playlists

[timid warren]

loot boxes, virtual currency etc. doesn’t equate to a one time DLC, two completely different things 💀

[quartz ridge]

But micro transactions are bad?

[quasi tree]

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3FEsyxqoInDWczVZwvwKBC?si=9cf441926d3b4c23

halo playlist

[timid warren]

If y’all agree older Halo was better how are we arguing lol, my point originally was it’s not because we got older

[quartz ridge]

The loot boxes argument is such a bad argument

Older halos were not better

[fickle drift]

Damm that sad

[quasi tree]

older halos = better

[candid solar]

Not a single person arguing with you has agreed with you on older Halo being better. In fact, two have outright stated that no, we disagree with you.

[timid warren]

Finally some based responses, like what 💀

[tight remnant]

I think you need to understand that people will not have the same opinion as you and that you are not the arbiter of 'correct' opinions

[quartz ridge]

What does the older halos do that’s better than the newer ones? Content? Nope. Netcode? Nope.

[quasi tree]

there better

[quartz ridge]

Forge? nope

[candid solar]

That would be me. I'm the arbiter of correct opinions. #bringbackcasualfridays.

[quartz ridge]

PVE game modes? Nope

[quasi tree]

old halo more fun then new

[quartz ridge]

Sandbox? Nope

[quasi tree]

people have different opinions

[tight remnant]

Dont be rude

[candid solar]

I don't think Jules asked either.

[quartz ridge]

Clearly I pinged him.

[tight remnant]

I much prefer infinite to a lot of older stuff, though five is amazing

[quartz ridge]

There’s nothing that the old halos do that’s better than the new ones.

[candid solar]

Except for the aformentioned launch content problem.

[quartz ridge]

Aside from release with more content

[fickle drift]

Better story?

[quartz ridge]

Not even close

[fickle drift]

How about halo ce ?

[candid solar]

If you're going to sit there and tell me Halo 3 had a better story I'm just not even going to dignify it with a response.

[quartz ridge]

Lazy writing on characters

[quasi tree]

i agree

[tight remnant]

halo 2 had the best story of olde older halo games

[quasi tree]

halo 3 had good story

[timid warren]

Their argument is good graphics = good game pretty much, nothing else is validated 💀

[candid solar]

Marty couldn't write his way out of a paper bag if the pen was holding it shut.

[tight remnant]

Though 4 is just wow

[quartz ridge]

You still haven’t provided anything that supports your argument that makes old halos better

[quasi tree]

old halo is more FUN

[candid solar]

Eh.

[quartz ridge]

New halo is more FUN

[tight remnant]

i have more fun in infinite for me

[candid solar]

I like my guy not having moon shoes on, thanks.

[timid warren]

I’m trying to avoid the “what makes a Halo game good” argument cause that’s completely subjective but if you lined up millions of people most would say old halo was better

[quasi tree]

🙅‍♂️

[fickle drift]

Halo 5 is an abysmal game, in terms of Halo. Do I hate it? No, but I honestly wouldn’t have played it with enthusiasm if not for Nathan Fillion. Infinites story isn’t bad, it’s miles better, but 2/3 are the better games in terms of world building and story.

[tight remnant]

HAlo 5 is a great halo game

[quartz ridge]

What makes it an abysmal game

[fickle drift]

l guess people have opinions about old halo it have been good or not

[tight remnant]

and the best sandbox of any halo game

and my favourite game mode out of any halo game, warzone

[candid solar]

Only basing it off of Nathan Fillion is basically just going into a medical exam after shooting yourself in the gut with a 20 gauge and expecting a clean bill of health.

[tight remnant]

forge is obviously beat by halo infinite but its sandbox allows it to do certain things infinite cannot

[quasi tree]

halo ce-3 are the best halo games

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3FEsyxqoInDWczVZwvwKBC?si=9cf441926d3b4c23

[fickle drift]

Straying from the narrative, lack of focus on the objective, etc. it didn’t fit halo, but it’s not a “bad game” in terms of execution itself, if that makes sense.

[quartz ridge]

What narrative were they straying from?

[timid warren]

Infinite has the greatest sandbox don’t get me wrong, y’all think I hate new halo games but i’m simply pointing out that Older Halo was overall better

[fickle drift]

I agree bro but they some people don’t agree that all let face it

[candid solar]

Honestly, if there's any issue I have with 5/Infinite Forge, it's that the skill floor is significantly higher.

[tight remnant]

infinite greatest sandbox? 5 takes the cake for sure I would say

[quasi tree]

yes

[quartz ridge]

Facts

[tight remnant]

i wish we had 5's sandbox in infinite

the custom games you could make too

[candid solar]

I'd honestly kill for a sandbox that tied Infinite and 5's together.

[tight remnant]

imagine being in a mantis on zeta halo

[quasi tree]

have any of you guys actually played old halo games on an actual xbox with friends?

[candid solar]

Yes.

It was literally my first experience with a Halo game.

[quasi tree]

not online

[timid warren]

I meant newer Halo in general has the better sandbox, but that’s probably the only good thing about new Halo

[candid solar]

Yes. It was couch co-op Halo 2.

I was not impressed.

[quasi tree]

ce?

[candid solar]

Was the next day.

[fickle drift]

If liking art is subjective, my reasoning for enjoying the game being just him is fine. If you enjoy it, great, I think it’s a dog water Halo game, but I like Buck so I don’t hate it.

[tight remnant]

also, no gatekeeping or 'not true halo fan if you didnt start at x'

[candid solar]

I just think it's an absolutely absurd hill to die on.

Like, specifically Nathan Fillion.

[tight remnant]

I also much prefer the shooting in infinite than older shooting mechanics

[candid solar]

That's just baffling to me.

[quartz ridge]

What narrative were they straying from in 5?

[quasi tree]

bungie fans like this post

[tight remnant]

infinite does retain a lot of the crispness of 5 in terms of shooting

[candid solar]

What's funny is that I literally started from the beginning for Halo games, they just never struck me as all that impressive or worthy of being put on a pedestal.

[fickle drift]

The one set in 3/4. It wasn’t needed. Clearly they got the point by correcting the ship with Infinite.

[quartz ridge]

Which is?

[candid solar]

You say corrected, I say crashed the bus into the Potomac.

[tight remnant]

Correcting the ship with infinite?

[candid solar]

There were no survivors.

[tight remnant]

I am annoyed at 343's constant sweeping under the rug of storylines

[timid warren]

This is completely subjective unless you want my personal take, but if you take 100 hundred people most would say older halo is better by far

[fickle drift]

I’ve liked him longer than you’ve been alive so I’ll gladly die on the hill of Capt. Reynolds.

[tight remnant]

Keep on exploring the created and the effects on the galaxy

[quartz ridge]

First ad populum of the night.

[quasi tree]

bungie is better than 343 in my opinion

[tight remnant]

keep on with the didact

[candid solar]

... Firefly debuted 5 years after I was born.

[quartz ridge]

Felt the didact was set to return.

[candid solar]

Like, what the hell sort of scraping for an insult was that.

[tight remnant]

Janus keys, absolute record

[tight remnant]

You could... just not do that

[dusky berry]

ce had online?

[candid solar]

I mean by all means, fall on that sword.

[quasi tree]

?

[fickle drift]

And? He’s been in numerous 90s shows, including two guys and a girl, long before that.

[quartz ridge]

@fickle drift I’m still waiting for the answer on the narrative that started in 3/4?

[quasi tree]

gtg

[tight remnant]

So what

[fickle drift]

Or I could and not care what you or anyone else thinks?

[timid warren]

What makes a Halo game good IMO is gameplay, storyline, art concept, graphics in that order

[tight remnant]

I mean, you can't write ANYTHING you want, there's still guidelines

[fickle drift]

Read the game summary and go from there Jules.

[quasi tree]

i meant on pc and stuff

gtg

[fickle drift]

Really? There’s a guideline on why I can like a game in here? Mind blowing information.

[quartz ridge]

How about you answer the question?

[tight remnant]

The whole "I liked him before you were born!"

[timid warren]

Damn Santanas ruthless 💀 i was the nice one in this debate

[candid solar]

1 year. Unless you were a fan of him since Ordeal in the Arctic or Strange and Rich, which would be absurd considering he had relatively small roles in both.

[fickle drift]

I don’t think this chat wants a book on the entire destruction of Cortana’s character.

[quartz ridge]

It’s not a debate if you haven’t brought up any valid points

[quartz ridge]

How was it a destruction?

[tight remnant]

4 did an amzing job with cortana

[quartz ridge]

She was turning into her creator…

[candid solar]

Or a book on why people who say it's a 'character destruction' don't know Cortana's character very well at all.

[timid warren]

Clearly I did but Valid is subjective to you I guess, not being rude

[tight remnant]

I can't wait to read halo outcasts to see if i learn anything about the created

[quartz ridge]

You didn’t

[timid warren]

Immediately proves my point 💀

[quartz ridge]

You have yet to provide an argument on why the old halos are better than the new ones

[fickle drift]

Factual statement. They sprouted off that it was weird I’d like a game for a certain person, and they’re 26 and I’ve been a fan since the early 90s, I don’t need to explain my reasoning or random things. Trust me my comment was me being nice, cause you wouldn’t want my real opinions.

[quartz ridge]

So it’s not a debate until you bring it up

[candid solar]

I've heard mixed things. Without getting into spoiler territory explicitly, because it was spoiled for me, I've heard two seperate people be annoyed at different interpretations of what was apparently the same thing.

[candid solar]

You're just bringing it up to be a pedant for the singular purpose of trying to lord something stupid over me.

[tight remnant]

Spoilers not go here though. I'll probably make the discussion thread at some point

[candid solar]

It's pathetic.

[tight remnant]

Or someone else will

Let's remember to keep it civil

[quartz ridge]

I’m glad they went with the halo 5 art style

[timid warren]

When I say I did and you say I didn’t, that’s quite literally the definition of subjective so you literally keep proving my point 💀 again not being rude

[tight remnant]

I miss the sangheili banshee..

That was a thing of beauty

Hesdurian banshee

[candid solar]

I'm not gonna lie, my fingers have been crossed that we'll someday get alternative geo for that.

Buuuut I'm also not expecting it because that would be a significant change in profile.

[tight remnant]

Energy shields too

[quartz ridge]

How am I proving your point? You have not provided an argument.

[tight remnant]

The way it handles

[candid solar]

I honestly can't compare 5 Banshees and Infinite Banshees. Haven't played Infinite with a gamepad.

I imagine they handle differently, but I wouldn't know anything in particular about that.

[tight remnant]

Halo 5 you have a lot of control

[timid warren]

3 had the best banshee

[tight remnant]

and the flip is actually useful

[candid solar]

That still sounds pretty similar.

[tight remnant]

A good fuel rod as well, and survivability was better

Better maneuverability too

[quartz ridge]

Everything in 5 was great

[candid solar]

Slow, ponderous, nonresponsive, had a dodgeroll measured in eons.

[tight remnant]

Yeah that one will be a not really... I'd definitely say reach's banshee was better than 3's

[candid solar]

Hell, ODST's Banshee was better than 3's, lmao.

[open stratus]

Just to remind everyone here
That the Mario. Bros franchise has been going on for 15 years

[candid solar]

[timid warren]

Infinite objectively had the better banshee like it was specifically designed to be the best but 3 just felt the most natural

Idk

[quartz ridge]

There he goes with the objectively

[tight remnant]

that is not objective

[quartz ridge]

Lmao

[tight remnant]

and i dont like infinite's banshee a lot

[candid solar]

Eh, I'd honestly give Reach the best Banshee award, but that's mostly because the damn thing was a flying tank that just did not die in a reasonable timeframe.

It's a rare day where I'll actually give Reach anything props.

[tight remnant]

5

[timid warren]

Didn’t it have limited boost, hated that and everything they added that too

[candid solar]

WZFF kinda ruined my perception of 5's Banshee.

Mostly because it just gets utterly mulched by literally anything sneezing on it.

Or at least, it feels that way.

[tight remnant]

not the same in PVP

very dependent on pilot's skill, which i was very good

[candid solar]

I think the only thing I really miss from any vehicle was using the Mantis on Ragnarok in 4.

I'd make it last the entire match without dying while making sure the enemy never once got the flag.

[tight remnant]

hanniblal variants..

[quartz ridge]

Which banshee are we talking here

[candid solar]

Ehhhh, hit or miss. Hannibal Wasp was kind of eh, but Hannibal Mantis and Scorp were both beasts.

[tight remnant]

Hannibal wasp eh? WHaaaat?

[quartz ridge]

PHAETON HELIOS

[timid warren]

Mantis was a hit or miss Im actually glad they removed it, it was slow asf

[tight remnant]

that thing is a beast!

[timid warren]

And easy to kill

[candid solar]

Most people didn't know how to use it. It's still decently fast.

[quartz ridge]

The Scorpion is slow and easy to kill

[candid solar]

Problably could've used a utility movement option though.

[quartz ridge]

What’s you’re point

[candid solar]

I like having missiles that work.

Instead of weird landmine things.

The repeater's great, though, I got no complaints about that.

[timid warren]

The best vehicle in Halo strictly in multiplayer was the gauss warthog in 3

[tight remnant]

You definitely didn't know how to use it then

I made good use of the ion field missiles/bombs

[candid solar]

Suits me fine. ONI Wasp had brrrrrrrrrrrt too, so it also just sounds better.

[tight remnant]

You can wreck with the ion field bombs better

[candid solar]

But that doesn't go brrrrrrrrrrrrt.

[tight remnant]

Throw them right, wreck anyuthing

[candid solar]

NGL though, I'm super glad I get weird luck with getting Hannibal Scorp cards.

Seems like they're the cards I get the most.

[tight remnant]

I would have loved hannibal scorpion on zeta halo

laser everythign

[candid solar]

I'd honestly rather a Mantis, but not because of anything about its guns.

It's because Zeta's covered with little rocks and sticks and stuff and in a perfect world, the Mantis could just walk over it.

[tight remnant]

I do wish the mantis stomp EMP was consistent though

Yeah

[candid solar]

That's like, the one huge fictional benefit of mech walkers

Not caring about terrain nearly as much. Can't high center something that walks.

[tight remnant]

And the music

[timid warren]

I’m curious what y’all would do to fix Halo since you know a lot about Halo

[candid solar]

That music is almost insulting on Legendary, lmao.

It's this super awesome steady track but you kinda can't do that because Legendary vehicles are paper

[candid solar]

From a lorenerd perspective, I'd have actually followed through with the damn Created arc.

That's honestly the biggest issue I yet have. The rest is common stuff like upping Infinite's sandbox and implementing a custom/matchmaking game side loadout system for custom games purposes.

Loadouts are a dirty word, but Reach's implementation of them as a game settings only side mechanic was kino.

I'd just have them be more of a custom game/special playlist deal

[fickle drift]

damm you guy know halo too much ngl l can’t keep up with it

[timid warren]

I’m trying to keep up too cause I stopped taking Halo seriously after reach but I completely agree with @candid solar points

[tight remnant]

I certainly know my halo

I can't wait to be onyx and not diamond career rank

[candid solar]

Hah, Pins plays ranked

Goofy, silly even

[tight remnant]

?

[candid solar]

Oh right

[quartz ridge]

Continue halo using the halo 5 model. Boom. Fixed

[candid solar]

Career rank

[timid warren]

They need to tone down the micro transactions all the way down and honestly Chief should’ve died in 3 or still asleep

[candid solar]

Can't go back in time I'm afraid.

[tight remnant]

No..

[quartz ridge]

“Chief should’ve died”

[tight remnant]

Make the microtransactions better yeah, theres ways to do

but should have died..? why no

[timid warren]

They keep reusing Chief like a dirty Napkin, after infinites storyline it’s clear they don’t know what they’re doing

[candid solar]

Though, I actually never was a fan of Chief-centric stuff. I think he should've stayed on ice, and Halo should've been about the armor-the Spartans-being the face of the universe.

Establish them as the brand, with Chief being sort of a narrative 'exemplar'.

[tight remnant]

Infinite doesn't do much wrong with John in infinite?

[candid solar]

Well, except for Escharum.

[quartz ridge]

Chief dying would’ve made his reclaimer arc in the old halos irrelevant

[candid solar]

I'm sorry, but that whole Escharum speech is just... Whew.

[timid warren]

Halo Reach story is a perfect example that you don’t need Chief at every single corner of the franchise, I actually prefer a storyline like that again

[tight remnant]

you dont like John respecting escharum as a warrior?

[quartz ridge]

“ He was just a soldier” 😂

[tight remnant]

John's diplomat arc is something that needs to be further exploredthough

[candid solar]

There's a difference between acknowledging your opponent as a dedicated warrior and failing to acknowledge that he is a savage, brutal (kek) butcher who has no right getting respected by his human opponents.

[quartz ridge]

They should’ve used Osiris more

Each character had a cool backstory

[timid warren]

Nothing inherently wrong but nothing inherently new, they just have an entire Halo universe they could use instead of Chief constantly

Chief was the most prevalent and iconic in 3, I could probably read you the entire script 💀

[candid solar]

It's like, sure, I respect Gregor Clegane's character in terms of being a brutal, grim, determined warrior, but he's also a degenerate savage who relishes in the slaughter of helpless innocents masquerading as a knight.

Escharum's an old man looking for a way out, but at the end of the day, no matter how 'rightous' his thought process was for his side, he's still the enemy, and by human standards, he's an utter monster that doesn't deserve to have his words respected on his deathbed, but put down like a sick dog.

You respect a monster's intelligence and drive, but you'd be a fool to count monsters as men.

[timid warren]

@candid solar They don’t hire people like you that knows the lore down to its core but they’ll hire people that puts spartan colors behind a paywall

343 is going completely backwards

[fickle drift]

“A super soldier “ that a way to say about master chief

[quartz ridge]

?

[fickle drift]

Bro a he super soldier you understand what I mean ?

[timid warren]

Master Chiefs story stopped after 3 for me, I refuse to accept the horse crap storyline they put constantly put Chief in

They should do an entire campaign reboot after 3 and I’ll take that over literally all campaigns after Halo 3

[candid solar]

Technically, Chief would be a Super Sailor, not a Super Soldier.

[candid solar]

I would honestly just straight up tap out and leave the franchise.

[quartz ridge]

I’m aware he’s a super soldier

[candid solar]

Just find a new muse.

[quartz ridge]

Imagine wanting to retell the same story over and over again

[candid solar]

No thanks, modern media retells enough for me already.

[quartz ridge]

Can never be me

That’s what I can’t stand infinite

Basically a retelling of CE

but worse

[timid warren]

Man, 3 and reach had the best armor

[candid solar]

I honestly don't mind Infinite in its very own small vacuum storywise, but it's also kind of like eating your second favorite food because your first favorite was closed to me.

Like, I love kung pao chicken, but what I wanted was chicken carbonara.

[quartz ridge]

They removed all of the interesting characters to make it all about Chief

[candid solar]

Yep.

[timid warren]

I’m glad we agree on something new halo is doing worse 💀

[candid solar]

As I said, in its vacuum, I don't mind it. I take it out of that vacuum, it bothers me.

[quartz ridge]

Infinite story could’ve been a prologue/dlc

[candid solar]

And frankly, I was super invested in the MP Storyline and will be bellyaching about it being axed until I own cows to bring home.

It was vastly more interesting than the jolly green giant and his new vault suited buddy and AI replacement goldfish.

[quartz ridge]

Give me more blue team stories

Not big green man with ai and pilot

[candid solar]

Spartan Locke campaign would be nice.

[quartz ridge]

Were it so easy

There are people to this day that puts infinite in their top 5

I’ve never been more disappointed as a halo fan

[timid warren]

I don’t even care much for characters past Reach cause the games foundation was already awful

[candid solar]

Too bad it's my go to and basically my top Halo from a gameplay standpoint.

[quartz ridge]

5
2
CE
4
3

[candid solar]

Being actively the focused game and having an FOV above 80 is a hell of a factor in my enjoyment of a Halo game.

[timid warren]

God no not 5

[fickle drift]

lm aware of that part

[quartz ridge]

You think 3 is the best…

[timid warren]

Sandbox 5 is the best but 5 overall Jesus Christ 💀

[candid solar]

I don't particularly like listing Halo games because it leaves out the granularity in feelings towards specific games.

[quartz ridge]

You still don’t have an argument for 5 and why it’s not the best

[candid solar]

Like, I vastly prefer 5's campaign in terms of pretty much every factor, but the Xbox only, no MKB support, and forced low FOV status both drive it down to a #2 slot overall for me, because I just can't get all the gameplay enjoyment I know I could out of it.

[quartz ridge]

So preference

I’m a console head till I die, so none of those things mean anything to me

[candid solar]

And even if it was, I'd likely still prefer Halo Infinite as an overall product, because I genuinely just love how slick Infinite's equipment is for the gameplay.

Grapple is just, Chef's kiss.

[timid warren]

Almost everything they added I was against for starters

[quartz ridge]

Cool

[quartz ridge]

Never liked equipment outside of power ups

[timid warren]

I think most people would universally agree 5 was the tipping point in the downfall of Halo

[quartz ridge]

Most people that universally agree cannot provide sound arguments on why it’s bad

[dusky berry]

so isn’t it just a preference for you too? you don’t have an argument as to why 5 is the best

i’ll give you a hint tho, it’s not

[quartz ridge]

I do have an argument

[fickle drift]

no if you have too

[timid warren]

Reach was hated at first cause it was different now one of the best Halos, 4 was also different but no one like the advanced stuff, 5 doubled down and killed Halo

[quartz ridge]

It has a better sandbox, most content and more ambitious story than the rest

Halo 2 was hated back in 04

[candid solar]

Still want my Halo2sucks t shirt.

[dusky berry]

2 for 3 i’ll give you that

[candid solar]

I hope they didn't all end up in a landfill.

[quartz ridge]

What’s wrong with the story?

[timid warren]

Thank you that was his only comeback for the longest ngl 💀

[timid warren]

Not a valid argument

[candid solar]

Halo 5 also didn't really double down on much of anything 4 did. It removed unpopular loadouts entirely, it rebalanced multiplayer to the Halo 2 equal starts standard people were asking for, it emphasized feeling like a supersoldier in gameplay.

[quartz ridge]

Provide an argument before saying that please.

[candid solar]

The base game mode that was heavily advertised on launch was literally equal starts AR+Magnum on a Midship remake.

[fickle drift]

Halo 2 had some dissent based on the ending and the arbiter, but nothing compared to the disdain that 5 had and still has...

[candid solar]

And just like Halo 2, Halo 5's was undeserved.

[quartz ridge]

Halo 4 was very experimental that influenced a lot of the ideas 5 had

[candid solar]

Influenced, but I'd hardly call actively changing most of the mechanics so utterly as to be considered widely a return to balance form a 'doubling down'.

[quartz ridge]

To me it plays like a modern CE

[candid solar]

That's like, a diagonal shift backwards from Halo 4/Reach/3.

[worldly torrent]

What did I just join

[candid solar]

Hell.

[dusky berry]

nothing is objectively wrong with the story it’s all subjective… preference of each person. for me the story was so lame i couldn’t finish it and just had to watch youtube videos on how it ended

[timid warren]

Careful you’ll be hit with a that’s not a valid argument 💀

[fickle drift]

As I have said before, I do not hate any of the games, but I think the story/art changes/poor advertising campaign are all justified reasons to dislike the game. I don't think the dissent of the game series as a whole has much to do with the game, moreso that younger audiences have moved away from it and there's a lot more competition in the MP realm than earlier titles. That said, I do think 5 is the worst of the games, simply for how they handled Cortana.

[quartz ridge]

They’re just justified if you’re wrong on those subjects

[candid solar]

Amusingly I like it most for how it treated Cortana, lmao.

[undone stone]

Unpopular opinion: Halo 4 had the best soundtrack. I also preferred Chief's armor design in Halo 4 and 5. It makes no sense why they reverted it in infinite aside to make the fans wet their pants.

[quartz ridge]

For example, the advertisement campaign had no connection to the plot of the story. A lot of people thought it did.

[candid solar]

TBF, his look in Infinite is pants-dropping gorgeous. I like 4/5, but... Whew. They made it beefcake.

Like, yeah, yeah, bad because pandering, but man does it look solid.

[fickle drift]

Given art is subjective, there's no right or wrong here...that said, by and large a huge portion of the fanbase dislikes the game (at least the outspoken portion) so.... its a failure as a product, even if some find the game to be great.

[quartz ridge]

How should they of handled cortana?

[undone stone]

It's a shame that Master Chief in Halo Infinite was accompanied by an airheaded AI and a crying janitor.

[hard marten]

🧍‍♀️

[candid solar]

Is Logic Plague an automatic disqual? Please tell me begging for Logic Plague is an automatic disqual.

[timid warren]

Chiefs armor and halo armor in general is something I completely agree is subjective. Some like bulky defined armor others like simplistic

[fickle drift]

Left it as it was in 4.

[quartz ridge]

Which was what? Kill her off?

[fickle drift]

Yes.

[undone stone]

Yes

[quartz ridge]

Lmao

[candid solar]

What I find amusing is that's honestly what I would've done instead of 5, but I still really like 5's actions regardless of that.

[quartz ridge]

Ah yes, explain her importance to the mantle of responsibility in 4 and then kill her off. Great plot

[timid warren]

For me chiefs armor in 3 is the best looking. Simple and the lighting was arguably the best in any Halo game

[undone stone]

Either Cortana doesn't come back in Halo 5 or Infinite should have continued her story just after Halo 5.

But we didn't get to see that happen because infinite had a terrible campaign.

[candid solar]

LITERALLY JUST

SHOW ME A CREATED CITYSCAPE, I WANT TO SEE THE GILDED CAGE UNDER THE MANTLE

[timid warren]

I’m completely down for a campaign reboot after 3 cause I can’t accept any of 343s storylines

[quartz ridge]

How does killing cortana off make the story better?

[undone stone]

I think it's not to make the story better. It's just to make the character more redeeming considering her development suffered after Halo 3.

[quartz ridge]

Wrong

[timid warren]

Oh god here we go

[quartz ridge]

Cortana barely had development to begin with

[fickle drift]

Nah nah not this again

[quartz ridge]

4 actually fleshed her out

[fickle drift]

Just let it go

[undone stone]

In the Halo trilogy, I found her to be quirky and cool. In Halo 4, she sobs too much. And Halo 5, she goes, "Hey Chief, I'm a bad girl now."

I'm confused about why that happened.

[quartz ridge]

This is why I can’t have discussions with people.

[candid solar]

Devil's advocate, for most people who don't pay a ton of attention, it seems more consistent to keep her dead. I wouldn't have gone with it personally strictly because of that alone.

But that said, if I were to bring her back, Halo 5's how I would've done it.

[quartz ridge]

So cater to the ones that aren’t actual fans of halo?

[candid solar]

What else is new?

[quartz ridge]

You right

[fickle drift]

Oh, so if we want her to stay dead we have no attention span and missed vital details? Alright.

[quartz ridge]

You lack a lot of details

[candid solar]

Didn't say you lacked an attention span. Just a lack of attention to detail.

[fickle drift]

I cry everyday in my house about that fact.

[candid solar]

And 'you' is not the singular 'you'.

[quartz ridge]

Because once again, why would they emphasize her importance to the mantle of responsibility and then kill her off

You obviously weren’t playing the story to understand the plot of it

[fickle drift]

You realize there's other ways they could have handled it, right?

Pick up a book or a comic sometime.

[timid warren]

Oh damn

[quartz ridge]

What does other ways of handling do with my argument? You think killing her off would make sense when it doesn’t from a plot standpoint.

[candid solar]

... Are you seriously 'oh damn'ing something that barely even constitutes the bare minimum of a comeback?

[fickle drift]

oh

[fickle drift]

It does if killing her off led to a different type of plotline that could have been explained. Which is possible. But I am sorry, you apparently don't have the imagination to see beyond what 343 gave you.

this why l don’t share opinions with someone

[candid solar]

Opinions are stupid unless they're mine.

[queen remnant]

Just do it and don't care too much

[fickle drift]

hell nah

[quartz ridge]

Lmao this is hilarious

[candid solar]

Huh. Surprising, they're releasing the last Broforce update.

Broforce FOREVER.

[undone stone]

I offer opinions, but I'm not a bad guy.

[quartz ridge]

And you don’t follow along to stories

[timid warren]

Bro giving him that sneak uppercut 💀

[candid solar]

Guess I'm reinstalling Broforce.

[candid solar]

This is the Discord discussion equivelant of some guy in a tank top screeching world star in the background.

[fickle drift]

If you say so. You're the only correct one here. 🤷‍♀️

[quartz ridge]

Not true. @candid solar is also correct

[timid warren]

Before you know it you need 50 reasons to validate your argument and those reasons aren’t validated 💀

[fickle drift]

And that says more than you know.

[queen remnant]

Give me an essay why, right now 😡

[candid solar]

You should problably just outright say what it is then.

[quartz ridge]

Correct. You get context and reasoning behind his comments. Not baseless arguments.

[candid solar]

It's disingenuous to not voice what it says, if you're uncertain if the other party knows. Bad manners.

[fickle drift]

Insert that's bait gif here.

[steady jolt]

They hired Grim and Haruspis who, collectively, probably know more about the lore than everyone who has ever graced this server

[queen remnant]

Lmao

[candid solar]

Yes, you posted bait.

[timid warren]

Provide 3 examples to your thesis statement or whatever English teachers said 💀

[candid solar]

Gee, just harpoon flattery towards me, why don't you.

[steady jolt]

Anyways, why don't we move on from this measuring contest that nobody is going to win

[candid solar]

I caught a Cortuna once and it was this big

[fickle drift]

just got quite very quiet

[wooden shoal]

cortuna

[candid solar]

Peanut Butter or Pumpkin Bread?

Whiskey.

I forgot that I was going to have three shots for my 26th birthday because frankly, I spent most of the day working out instead.

[undone stone]

How does the Master Chief pee? Is it an iron man based suit filtration system?

[candid solar]

Spartans are catheterized in their suits.

[wooden shoal]

good question

[fickle drift]

Hmmm

[candid solar]

The urine is then recycled into drinkable water via filtration system, with the castoff matter being purged into a filter, presumably.

[undone stone]

Pee into Pepsi conversion in the suit. Although, they taste the same even without it. 🔥

[wooden shoal]

yoo i can finally drink my own piss

[steady jolt]

God can we not

[wooden shoal]

we now have a way to survive the apocalypse

[fickle drift]

Y E S

[candid solar]

This man has never seen Bear Grylls.

[wooden shoal]

that brings me to the next question, when do spartans eat food

[undone stone]

Dune actually has a suit function where sweat converts into water

[candid solar]

When they have the chance and are hungry.

[candid solar]

That's likely something MJOLNIR also does, though I can't recall if it's outright stated. Given its status as essentially a human shaped medical APC, and Dune idea bleed into Sci fi, it would not surprise me at all.

Even then MJOLNIR's still supposed to be actively and autonomously climate-controlled.

[fickle drift]

hold up it got quiet

[wooden shoal]

yup

[fickle drift]

I don’t like it

[candid solar]

That's what happens when someone randomly says a bunch of dumb lore things.

[timid warren]

From someone that recently joined assuming the server was super family friendly that was surprising 💀

[wooden shoal]

your first mistake was making a discord account

[timid warren]

Had discord for like 5 years 💀 seen the worst of the worst

[wooden shoal]

fair

[timid warren]

Idk the boundaries with this server tho but I’m slowly learning

[fickle drift]

I here because l want talk about halo ce how good it is but now l don’t want to share about it anymore

[candid solar]

I forgot about Skrewball's aftertaste.

Oh. Damn, I guess I should've got cranberry sauce.

[cedar turret]

CE wasn't the same after they added online play. You just can't elbow someone through the internet or toss your drink at them.

[fickle drift]

I’m aware of that

[obsidian wyvern]

ouch LOL
