general-chat

[fickle drift]

I don't have one

[vapid siren]

why

[haughty wraith]

Only times i've seen anyone with a mic in infinite they were toxic af

[fickle drift]

Because I haven't gotten one

[haughty wraith]

Most of us just type

[vapid siren]

decent enough headsets or standalone mics are pretty affordable now

[haughty wraith]

Wired earbuds work decently well too

[round laurel]

Try typing.

[vapid siren]

i use earbuds with a standalone mic

but my setup is like 100 dollar earbuds with a 200 dollar mic and another hundo for the xlr interface

[fickle drift]

I know a mic would solve the issue but that's not my point lol, my point is how can you genuinely think if you have died that many times in a row that running into a 1v2 is a good idea

[haughty wraith]

I dont use mic very often, but i have one for when im playing with friends

[round laurel]

Honestly man... if you just type "hey man, let's not go Rambo. Stick with me, ping targets." You'll probably see better results.

[fickle drift]

If someone can actually explain to me the logic behind that I'll stop

[round laurel]

I agree

Try a USB keyboard
(Response to a deleted message)

[haughty wraith]

Also, it would be cool as hell if 343 brought back the original 360 servers as kind of a side project, for the people who never experienced it

[vapid siren]

thing is you're again throwing yourself into these less than favorable positions by going solo, no mic, and then you are seeming to have a defeatist attitude with the matches anyways so i am questioning if you are as active in helping the teammates anyhow

really sounds like you just... aren't a doubles guy tbh

[haughty wraith]

Yeah, i listen to stuff while i play, either a podcast or music, it gets really akward having a mic and earbuds in at the same time

[winter flame]

literally just take the game out and let your friend 1v1

[vapid siren]

in social or in ranked tho

in social who cares

[winter flame]

nobody knows how quit penalities work in this game

[vapid siren]

ranked like... nah that's kinda pepega

[haughty wraith]

i dont play ranked, too Competitive

[winter flame]

i dont even and i've tried to keep up

[vapid siren]

then yeah dw

[fickle drift]

Okay then let me ask this, if someone isn't going to listen to the markers OR the chat, why would they listen to mic

[haughty wraith]

I just play quick play and stuff

[fickle drift]

What difference does it make, is the mic some forbidden secret technique

[vapid siren]

pings dont always make noise right, and i cant see whats out of my fov

text chat can be disabled or just kinda not noticed as much, besides it can be somewhat delayed and isnt good for active callouts

[haughty wraith]

No, some people are just unconfident about their voices, unlike halo 3

[vapid siren]

a mic is audible, i can hear that and i expect it in ranked modes

[round laurel]

I mean, I think it's clear that you aren't really trying to communicate at all other than pings, which are great at signalling targets but there isn't a ping for "stick with me, Rambo."

[vapid siren]

mics in ranked is the bare minimum expectation from anyone worth their salt

imma keep it real unless you are gods gift to mankind you better be mic'd up if you wanna consider yourself good

[haughty wraith]

I'd say im pretty good at the game, mic or not

[vapid siren]

like you need a really good reason to not talk

[obsidian wyvern]

kinda sick

[round laurel]

... and yeah, you'll always get the odd person not responding to ANYTHING. That's just how it is.

[fickle drift]

Fine I'll go one day with mic and if they still don't listen I'm coming right back to you to say I told you so lol

[haughty wraith]

I think my reason was good enough lol

[haughty wraith]

W

[vapid siren]

i mean in ranked contexts tbf

[obsidian wyvern]

bare minimum is pinging

[haughty wraith]

Oh

[vapid siren]

pings can be somewhat inconsistent like i said. and again unless you have a reason to not talk you just should

[haughty wraith]

I can type pretty fast for a controller player

[winter flame]

the only valid reason not to call out is if your team mates do not call out. Nomics only get basic callouts that give me assist because your lack of communication disadvantages me and if we lose the game doesnt know I gave nomics callouts and punish me less

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but youre not gonna type whilst shooting

you can ping whilst shooting though

[haughty wraith]

If an enemy is camping or something i do

[vapid siren]

if speech is hard, if you have language issues, or if you sadly get harassed for talking, then yeah i can get apprehension to micing up

[round laurel]

that must take a while lol.

[vapid siren]

but like... there's a point where you gotta just speak up ya know?

[obsidian wyvern]

i just wish i had a more convenient button on my controller for pinging since i dont have backpaddles

[haughty wraith]

I always say Gg at the end of each game though, regardless of if we won

[fickle drift]

Every mic player is toxic that's also another reason I dread it

[haughty wraith]

Mine is up on the dpad i think

[obsidian wyvern]

so is mine

[fickle drift]

Bc then they're not even gonna play right once I start talking

They'll just be like wahhh shut up blablabla you're trash

[vapid siren]

idk what ranks you're playing in cause for the most part mics i see in ranked are dudes focused on callouts and the match at hand

[fickle drift]

Like grow up bro

[obsidian wyvern]

but tryna ping in the middle of a fight throws me off, if i could bing it elsewhere itd be nicer

[obsidian wyvern]

meh

[winter flame]

it might depends on your level but 95% of mic players are not toxic, a solid 50%+ of people who type are

[obsidian wyvern]

wade is somewhat right

[vapid siren]

i have seen ego ethans show up, but they're an exception not the rule in my experience

[fickle drift]

Low plat, basically minimum expectations but at least don't be so mad lol, I feel like at the rank I'm at you should be anything but mad on mic

[haughty wraith]

Fr, some dude tried arguing with me in a quick play match, said i sucked even though i was in 2nd place lmao, he was so worried about kills and not the objective, then he said "say hi to stream" so i complied :)

[fickle drift]

Because low plat is garbage, you're bad at the game and you should know it

So don't be all angry on mic for it even if your teammate is trash

[haughty wraith]

Im bronze rank still lol

[winter flame]

its so rare to hear someone being toxic at diamond level and when they are i just tell them its just game touch grass etc and they shush pretty fast

[fickle drift]

Ig I gotta grind for diamond then huh

[round laurel]

I don't disagree that people can be really rude online, but from my own experience, if you try to be friendly first, people will return the attitude.

(On mic)

[haughty wraith]

Oh, and he called me the r - word

[fickle drift]

I've went from gold 4-5 to plat 1-2 in a little over a week so I'm at a good pace tbh

[haughty wraith]

Nice

[fickle drift]

You should show your gameplay

I wanna see it

[tardy hare]

sometimes people are nice u just gotta keep a positive attitude too 😛

[haughty wraith]

Im not on PC, dunno if i can

Nor do i have xbox app

[fickle drift]

I've met 1 nice person, I've queued up with mic players over 100 games prob

[tardy hare]

alt z

[fickle drift]

Emphasize that sometimes to rarely at my skill level

[haughty wraith]

I just said im not

[tardy hare]

are you like good at the game

[tardy hare]

xbox u can screen record

[fickle drift]

Are you talking to me?

[vapid siren]

another thing is like if you at least try and be chill and focused on the match and the other dude isnt having any of it you can just mute them and continue to callout

[tardy hare]

yes

[haughty wraith]

I've been playing since it released in winter so i cant be that bad though

[fickle drift]

No, I'm low plat

[tardy hare]

dayum

[haughty wraith]

[tardy hare]

[haughty wraith]

[fickle drift]

I'm not like full on awful I usually get first or second in most arena games but yeah I'm pretty bad lol

[haughty wraith]

And i dont have xbox app

[tardy hare]

ok

[vapid siren]

whats the GT lets see what we're workin with

[tardy hare]

You should really show your gameplay fr

[haughty wraith]

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah idk why they just walked straight at me LOL

[vapid siren]

looks like 10 on the guy

[fickle drift]

W triple

[cedar turret]

Have you tried a profit sharing system?

[winter flame]

Summary:
Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because Hiko was already dead.

Submitted this as a ticket end of last season, Patch notes said they fixed but maybe not?

[obsidian wyvern]

can u clarify the shot numbers

[vapid siren]

its an old copypasta

i was there when it was written

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean recons saying i didnt hit all shots so im probably in the wrong

[vapid siren]

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

[winter flame]

😄

[void magnet]

He’s jokin lol

[haughty wraith]

Hot take,
|| playable elites would probably bring in some clan guys from MCC and boost game population, maybe not significantly but its still peiple right?
Anyway, it would be a great addition to see imo.
I really love the Ascetic armor, so thats my goto armor in halo 3, and it would probably allow 343 to get money, since i know they like money.
Sorry dynf <3||

[obsidian wyvern]

i see now lol

[fickle drift]

What is bro saying

[obsidian wyvern]

i was thinking how tf did i miss 12 shots if you need 9 for a perfect when the gun holds 20

[void magnet]

Not a hot take. Elites would be great, esp in social. Will not happen though

[vapid siren]

i stg halo players need to play more games

[obsidian wyvern]

bro i didnt play ONE GAME

[rare cedar]

NO

[haughty wraith]

probably will not happen, you never know

[vapid siren]

BUT THEN THEY GET MORE PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS AND CAN UNDERSTAND HOW WIDER GAMING WORKS

[haughty wraith]

Lots of people here dislike playable elites

[obsidian wyvern]

oh thats why you put a spoiler over it LOL

[void magnet]

I know, lol but people here dislike a lot of things 🤷‍♂️

[haughty wraith]

I have 9 hard copies of halo games

[haughty wraith]

Yeah

[rare cedar]

DOES PUBG COUNT

[haughty wraith]

They really need to listen to the community more

[vapid siren]

at this poitn ill take anything dude

[haughty wraith]

You got a disc traders nearby?

[vapid siren]

cookie clicker can count for all ik

yall just gotta play more than only halo

[obsidian wyvern]

I JUST DIDNT UNDERSTAND A MEME 😩

[void magnet]

“They” is a loaded term. People making decisions are few and far between, and not many with influence interact with the community

[fickle drift]

Does roblox doors count

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[vapid siren]

ITS ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC WELL KNOWN CSGO MEMES AND THATS A TOP TIER ESPORT REV

[fickle drift]

Also btw I hate this game bc I suck at it

[rare cedar]

Tag Unyshek you won’t I dare you I double dog dare you

[obsidian wyvern]

well i dont care about esports 😤

[winter flame]

tmw they realise infinite's ranking system is actually not half bad

[vapid siren]

really

i will be a man of my word then

[elfin glacier]

esports killed my dog (my dog's name? blood gulch)

[haughty wraith]

I've been playing since i was around 5, i completed halo 3's campaign so many times, never got bored of it, such a high replayability factor, but im too far in to completely leave it now

wtf killing the SOCIAL ASPECT OF GAMING

[haughty wraith]

343 execs are soulless tbh, they need to have more expanded upon gameplay, not to mention that the elites in multiplayer would be lore accurate, since they have an alliance with humanity

[vapid siren]

[elfin glacier]

le soulless

[rare cedar]

Pretty sure I killed elites in Infinite

[pale belfry]

Hi everyone

[void magnet]

Eh I’m not sure I’d say that personally. 343i are constantly changing guard, unfair to say an inconsistent team is “soulless”

[haughty wraith]

Not swords of sangheilios elites though

[pale belfry]

How are everyone doing?

[steady jolt]

Having spoken with quite a few, they are far from soleless so let's not

[haughty wraith]

Fair enough

[haughty wraith]

is that your dog?

Dual glock elites is a life-path

[haughty wraith]

[elfin glacier]

[pale belfry]

¿How are we felling about halo infinite?

[haughty wraith]

Good, its in a stable playable but fun state

[cedar turret]

How come when the brutes stuffed the engines with explosives they didn’t add confetti like they do with the grunts. Or candy

[pale belfry]

Really glad to hear that

[haughty wraith]

Thats just a skull lol

They were made to repair forerunner things, im not sure how they survived the rings being fired though

[void magnet]

Imagine waking up to the ‘look at the lights test’ and it’s an engineer

[cedar turret]

So maybe rose petals for the brutes

[haughty wraith]

Would be pretty cool

[haughty wraith]

How about halo hard copy cases

[cedar turret]

Headshot a brute and a shower of rose petals

[haughty wraith]

Are you serious

Why did you warn me

[void magnet]

You know what infinite really needs? An Elite AI that literally just says H:CE Elite sound bytes

For server moderation concerns, please message @bleak yoke.

[queen remnant]

Good think that 343 said no

[cedar turret]

Drones should be filled with honey obviously

[dreamy stirrup]

i was outside for like, 10 minutes and every mosquito in the area found me

D:

[cedar turret]

Which means we need to add bears to the ring

[queen remnant]

Playable grunts tho? That's fantastic

[cedar turret]

I think playable grunts would make for a good mobile game

Make it a puzzle game where you have to guide plasma grenade loaded grunts to the target

[void magnet]

The best grunt line in Halo Infinite is “FOR BALAHO”

[haughty wraith]

Oh god, cute dog too btw

[cedar turret]

Lemmings or penguin style

[haughty wraith]

Lol

[haughty wraith]

And possible

In halo 2

[cedar turret]

I also have a marine birthday party skull idea. You kill a marine, odst, 4 etc an off screen voice just says, “oh no” and then when they turn on you “oh now you done it”

[rare cedar]

[tardy oak]

They should really add acrophobia to all halos

[earnest umbra]

is that the fear of playing the objective

[haughty wraith]

No, its the fear of boredom

[smoky token]

it’s a skull that allows you to fly

[tight remnant]

How do I turn on Acrophobia in real life?

[round laurel]

[misty solstice]

[haughty wraith]

Sucks to be you

[haughty wraith]

You spelled that horrifically wrong

[misty solstice]

game can be mad mid at times no cap

[misty solstice]

ik

[haughty wraith]

Are you like, 8? Nobody says stuff like that 💀

[misty solstice]

nah fam, but on jah this game mid sometimes 💯

[fickle drift]

im confused lmao

[haughty wraith]

Wtf is this guy saying

[misty solstice]

lol

[forest steeple]

Best halo campaigns? Been wanting to revisit them for years now

[fickle drift]

halo 3 imo

[misty solstice]

best champagne is h2 on jah

[sage crown]

Reach

[haughty wraith]

Halo 2, 3, reach, and possibly infinite if you like openworlds

[misty solstice]

start w ce tho

[haughty wraith]

Hold on, dont you do clans on reach?

[misty solstice]

if youre going for a full champagne runthrough

[sage crown]

Yeah

[haughty wraith]

No wonder you dislike infinite

[misty solstice]

what does clans have to do with disliking infinite?

[haughty wraith]

Stuck on reach

[smoky token]

What

are you talking about

[haughty wraith]

Who

[misty solstice]

asked

[fickle drift]

screw it play halo 4 lol

[misty solstice]

nah fam dont do that to em

[fickle drift]

halo 4 was fine imo

[misty solstice]

storywise yeah, game play wise nah

[fickle drift]

better than amour lock

i still have nightmares abt that

[misty solstice]

ik but still, the game was very boring

[fickle drift]

true but we can all probably agree on the worst halo

[misty solstice]

h5?

[fickle drift]

exactly

[steady jolt]

You'll never get universal agreement on that

[misty solstice]

i will say super fiesta and forge was the best things in h5

[steady jolt]

My least favorite is Halo 3

[misty solstice]

things got mad lit in those fiesta matches

[fickle drift]

fiesta is pretty fun

[pulsar cobalt]

These days my most favorite is halo infinite

[misty solstice]

which honestly they should do the h5 fiesta in infinite, those variants made things so much fun

ik its technically in infinite but still

[quartz ridge]

L take

[misty solstice]

understandingable

im sorry to me the story was beyond mid, gameplay was pretty fun tho, warzone was pretty meh, especially if u had trash teams, mutli can be fun, even tho it didnt really feel like halo with all the extra movement

if it wasnt attached to the halo name it would be a decent game, oh also forgor the customization options, mad let down to me

[quartz ridge]

Halo 3 was beyond mid

[winter flame]

indeed it was epic

[misty solstice]

to a certain extent i agree

[haughty wraith]

Yall are high asf bruh

[quartz ridge]

At least halo 5 explored characters

[haughty wraith]

Halo 5 was beyond mid

[misty solstice]

halo 3 story is weak on some aspects, but u cant deny the cultural impact it had

[haughty wraith]

Multiplayer is decent, campaign story sucks

[misty solstice]

the amount of hype behind that game was insane, multi was godly, forge, while not perfect, was a welcomed addition

[winter flame]

if ur tryna trash something its surely "below mid" not "beyond mid"

[misty solstice]

and by god the custom games on h3 are beyond glated

[quartz ridge]

Not even close

[haughty wraith]

I can say the exact same thing to you

[misty solstice]

nah it is beyond mid

[haughty wraith]

Its called an opinion

[steady jolt]

All hail the birthday cat

[misty solstice]

also lord hood looks funny on h3 lol

[haughty wraith]

The game was made in 2007 homie

[misty solstice]

ik

[haughty wraith]

Happy birthday unnamed cat

[quartz ridge]

What made it mid? Sandbox? Content? Ranking system?

[misty solstice]

im not knocking it for that, its still funny to look af

[winter flame]

that cat is beyond cute

[steady jolt]

That's my Ziggy :)

[misty solstice]

bro bearly anyone wanted to do that 152 grind, it was so overdone

[steady jolt]

Why don't we move the Halo 5 discussion down to #halo-discussion

[quartz ridge]

…

[haughty wraith]

Campaign, controls, the movement, story, Req packs, weapon designs and impact, the list goes on, only thing that makes up for it is multiplayer

[misty solstice]

maps were mostly forge made unfortunately, rather than being 343 dedicated maps

[wary dock]

is there certain game modes that are faster to earn exp in for HMCC?

[haughty wraith]

quick play on halo 3

[misty solstice]

swat is usually solid since theyre quick

especially if ur a headshot god

[quartz ridge]

That can be said about all the halo games.

[haughty wraith]

I disagree

[quartz ridge]

But do you man.

Cool.

[winter flame]

"my favourite halo is better then your favourite halo" conversations should be banned from general chat

[quartz ridge]

Block is an option.

[haughty wraith]

Req packs dont exist in any other game, the "advanced" movement doesnt exist in any other games, and the story of that game was basically vetoed

[misty solstice]

understandingable ill stop

[winter flame]

or you can do what the mod asked you to do

[haughty wraith]

Why do you spell understandable like that

[misty solstice]

lets chill out yall, maybe we got outta pocket

[quartz ridge]

Once again. Block is an option.

[misty solstice]

because its funny to me

[steady jolt]

Or, you can do as I asked

[candid solar]

Agreed tbh

[sage crown]

What rank are you on infinite Zero

[haughty wraith]

Lemme check rq

[candid solar]

It's just a fetid breeding ground for toxicity

Y'all a mod asked you something. please listen 🙂

[quartz ridge]

Lol

[haughty wraith]

I am curious why though @sage crown

[sage crown]

Just asking

[misty solstice]

wait do u mean in ranked playlists or overall rank?

[haughty wraith]

W name

[haughty wraith]

Alright

[sage crown]

And I ain’t stuck on reach, been playing the infinite and I don’t think I can share what I think about it

[haughty wraith]

#halo-discussion is where they wanted the conversation to go

[misty solstice]

if ur referring to ranked then im in plat

[haughty wraith]

im pretty sure he was talking to me

[quartz ridge]

I’ll bring the conversation over there and it’ll still get paused

[misty solstice]

oh my bad, i wasnt sure whomst he was referring to

[haughty wraith]

Its fine

Colonel bronze grade 1 @sage crown

[sage crown]

I meant in ranked…

Nvm

[misty solstice]

shouldve specified my g

[haughty wraith]

I've never played ranked lol

Im a casual player

Mostly just quick play

[sage crown]

I play a game, when I win carrying my team, +7 csr, I lose -10 csr

how new is s4?

[calm fiber]

Season 4 is out now, go download and play!! Stop wasting time on silly discord commands >: )

[astral palm]

Interesting

[hearty flame]

Like a month or two I think, idk

Have you tried googling it

[void magnet]

Season 4 came out within the last 5 years 👍👍

[winter yoke]

Hey guys!

[misty glacier]

hey

[fickle drift]

I HATE MATCH MAKING LATELY UGH
I keep being put on btb teams with low ranking bronze ranked people
It's genuinely making me not want to play

[hasty zinc]

nice

[fickle drift]

I'm having actual embryos for teammates

I saw a teammate drive a ghost off a cliff

Well this is interesting

[fickle drift]

And another run over 2 teammates with a ghost
Tf is going on

[forest lagoon]

[fickle drift]

Are these the Spartans who took a knock aside the head in training

I'd leave the matches but 343 will just give me a 15 minute ban ffs

[forest lagoon]

They can't all be the Master Chief

And if you really think about it, it kind of makes cannon sense.

[fickle drift]

Well every spartan is dead except the chief nearly guess they had to send the rejects out into battle

[forest lagoon]

Like in infinite, how every Spartan you encounter is dead or dying

Exactly.

Things just haven't been the same since they stopped kidnapping children

[fickle drift]

All the Spartans equivalent to clone trooper 99

[forest lagoon]

Excuse you.

[fickle drift]

I actually liked 99

Cooler than fordo and rex combined

[forest lagoon]

Trooper 99 was a brother down to the very end.

If it wasn't for his sacrifice it would have ended very bad. He was a true dedicated soldier right to his last breath

[fickle drift]

Truth

I actually think he was one of the few clones deaths that made me sad
Him and fives off the top of my head
F you fox

[forest lagoon]

[fickle drift]

Bro foxes death in the comics made me so happy
Bro got his neck snapped by Vader
Good riddance you red bozo

[forest lagoon]

And all of the Coruscant guard. The clones ultimate ending is sad but they were so uppity and did almost nothing

[fickle drift]

God I love the clone wars era
So much better than the sequel crap

[forest lagoon]

Shinys all of them

[tight remnant]

No?

[forest lagoon]

Wolfe pack were my fav squad I think

[tight remnant]

I wonder if it's a new map in the tweet

Longbow remake set on zeta halo?

[fickle drift]

IMAGINE LISTENING TO SCORPIAN MIX 24/7 on spotify for like ON FULL VOLUME WITH AIRPODS while driving a car

[forest lagoon]

I need to check out the tweet, I missed it

[fickle drift]

what tweet

[tight remnant]

The one above

Also I don't listen to music on full volume with airpods. I don't want to damage my ears.

It also would hurt

[forest lagoon]

@fickle drift This tweet

[fickle drift]

oh

[tight remnant]

this tweet

[fickle drift]

nice

[forest lagoon]

I didn't even think of it being a new map

Also, why wear air pods when car speakers exist

[tight remnant]

That's what I just

[candid solar]

E

Looks like the facility on Longbow though.

[forest lagoon]

Also, depending on where you are it might be illegal to drive with headphones/earphones

[tight remnant]

Clearly, I recognized it fast

[candid solar]

Damn it, stop saying things before I saw it

[forest lagoon]

[tight remnant]

I mean it is cleaerly longbow indeed. I recognized it fast

[fickle drift]

LMAO

[tight remnant]

longbow shaped. Longbow is set on Concord, a planet where Lethbridge Industrial does its thing. It has a thin belt of well habitable zone. Noble team had an operation on it and they took on a Draugr

[fickle drift]

[forest lagoon]

Either discord is bugging or my internet but some stuff is loading in strange and in chunks

[forest lagoon]

Earbuds cant make your chest buzz with the sounds of bass surrounding you like a weighted blanket keeping you calm amongst a sea of bad drivers who stop, look both ways and then go straight at red lights as if they are stop signs. Or when they try to turn left in front of you abruptly from the third right lane because they needed sonic so badly they decided to risk death

Can someone help me, I’m on halo reach forge on MCC trying to edit a forge map by adding stuff to it. For some reason, the map only lets me remove and adjust already existing objects in the map, but doesn’t allow me to add stuff. All I want to do is add ONE kill barrier. What can I do to fix it?

[crimson spear]

Reach is better than inf

Man, y'all need to try harder. 🎣

Mobile does not show it but it adds everything to the que

[obsidian wyvern]

read the message above

[still barn]

See if I have gold 12 months it will change to Xbox game pass core and I will still have everything 12 months has ? Plus if I buy another 12 months on amazon I can use that to get another 12 months ?

[obsidian wyvern]

wait

so you just got 12 months of gold? it should switch the remaining to gamepass core whenever that rolls out, if it hasn't already

idk how many months you can stack, I remember there's a limit, but yes any amount of gold you have will switch to gamepass core

[amber mirage]

3 years is the limit

[still barn]

No I get it every Christmas for my Xbox but wondering if I can get it this Christmas and use it or will it not work anymore due to changes ? It expires every February but I get it every Christmas and use it then

[amber mirage]

It should still work

[still barn]

Thanks was wondering if I have to do anything different lol

[obsidian wyvern]

well if you're getting it from Amazon, I'm assuming they're just gonna remove gold and switch it to gamepass core

[amber mirage]

Yeah. It should automatically just do a 1:1 conversion from Gold to Game Pass Core when you redeem the code.

[still barn]

So should still work then each year

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[steady jolt]

Xbox Live Support should be able to confirm this for you

[still barn]

Thank god I thought that if I don’t do something else then I lose it

[obsidian wyvern]

there was an article on it by Xbox, worth a read

[still barn]

I got email about it - but just want to be sure about using 12 month codes in future

[steady jolt]

You asked this exact same thing 2 weeks ago...

[wide sable]

Y’all should’ve seen the DUMBEST ad on Facebook

These people tried to photo shop a few Xbox Series X boxes but added spacing so they’re floating claiming Xbox lost the licensing to sell the consoles 😂😂 Like, half of them are floating and the woman standing next to them? Her finger is a little longer than normal 😂😂

[formal summit]

Hope you reported it

[late harbor]

Are all events on this server on Infinite? Or does MCC have events too?

[steady jolt]

I think there was an MCC event a few weeks ago

[late harbor]

Ok. Thanks

[wide sable]

It was a screenshot so I couldn’t

[red urchin]

What’s your favorite halo game

[fossil skiff]

Campaign? 2
Multiplayer? 5. Infinite a close second.

[deep owl]

5s multiplayer has high highs and low lows, infinite seems more consistent imo

[fossil skiff]

Warzone just does it for me, but if infinite gets something like that it’s taking first place without a doubt

[deep owl]

Yeah, i kinda agree. When and if firefight comes out then infinite will automatically get an extra 100 hr from me >:)

[fossil skiff]

Yes please. There’s a massive amount of potential with the campaign bosses especially. Bring back grunt mechs!

[gilded falcon]

hey yall, anyone know why i can only use my platinum anniversary armor coating on the default armor in infinite?

I did not expected this tbh

It's international pirate month???

[haughty wraith]

Idk

[hearty flame]

When's international cowboy month? :/

[faint mantle]

Three days ago, apparently

[candid solar]

Rekt

[amber mirage]

Technically never. Cowboys are an American treasure. We won't share them internationally.

Except for Italy

[dusk phoenix]

Cowboy armor core when

[normal owl]

Fractures: Yeehaw

[amber mirage]

I'm on Team Locke for this one

[normal owl]

Completing the game on Lasso.

[pulsar cobalt]

Enjoy the headache after 😂

[normal owl]

Was just punning per the cowboy discussion.

[regal chasm]

Be right back. Bout to run Steve Downes voice into one of those voice AI so we get an Halo themed Big Iron.

[amber mirage]

After a long day of fighting the Banished, head on down to everyone's favorite saloon, The Spartan Spittoon.

[regal chasm]

I was thinking CE themed since the M6D is undeniably THE biggest big iron of the franchise.

[red urchin]

Hu ?

[candid solar]

Biggest iron would be the Halo 4 boltshot.

Because it can oneshot, the M6D can't.

[twilit canyon]

what does b a n n e d mean

[candid solar]

Google is your friend

Or Bing

Maybe even dogpile if that's still around

[tight remnant]

That's surprising

Nothing new in the store today

[candid solar]

[pulsar cobalt]

Really

[candid solar]

Still last week's?

I don't like that, no sir. I was hoping for new stuff.

[pulsar cobalt]

man 343 has to sort out this store why is it old items that can be brought anyway

[tight remnant]

No, just nothing new

[candid solar]

Ah

[pulsar cobalt]

Like why put items in the store if they can already in the customization menu

Literally doesn't make any senese

[bold sparrow]

They bring back the Courier helmet?

[tight remnant]

no

[bold sparrow]

Womp

[pulsar cobalt]

its all S3 items that can be brought in the customization menu lol

[tight remnant]

aqua hex, lightlink, kinetic instructions, reflext reaction, we can do it, golden age, disruptive measurement, slipstream factorgrid, peaceweaver, cold forest bandit

[pulsar cobalt]

The store team needs to be looked at it because this is just not it lol

What's the point of the customization menu items anyway if they just appearing in the main shop also ?

[muted rose]

Reduce FOMO, but I think that if 343 isn’t consistently making new items, there’s probably a reason, and that mean another shop overhaul

[meager lake]

Coldbrew time

[muted rose]

It’s like my weekly reward idea: have a dedicated NEW reward that’s weekly, but also a returning weekly, and if you already have that weekly, battle pass xp, and if you already have the battle pass maxed out, maybe credits.

Not a whole lot, maybe 50 or 100 credits

[queen remnant]

100 credits is what you get in the battle pass in all the tiers lol

[muted rose]

Every single tier gives you 100 credits?

[queen remnant]

It's in total 1000 credits, just for the next pass

Let me check brb

[stone bane]

Trying not to be too critical about 343, but drum up hype before a HCS weekend, this is not the way. Moving my time and money somewhere else this week I guess.

[muted rose]

Either way, what’s wrong with more credits? You get rewarded for having played in the past, and getting past weekly’s, while also grabbing the new weekly

[queen remnant]

I highly doubt they will give more credits in form of weekly, that's all I'm going to say

[muted rose]

I know, but that is just my idea. I’m sure open to others though

Because I’m not a developer in any way shape or form

So maybes there’s problems that I don’t know about 🤷‍♂️

[queen remnant]

Just checked, in every tier of credits gives you 100

[muted rose]

And 10 tiers gives you 1,000. Enough for the next battle pass, or if you really wanted, something specific.

But, my point is, the shop should have mostly new stuff. I’m fine with deals and discounts, but the big bundles should usually be new stuff. I’m ok with recycling a bundle for a discount, but the focus should be new stuff. They had been doing a good job this season with that, so I’m surprised they stopped this week

[quiet stream]

What was the weekly reward this weekend

[frozen gazelle]

Wow sweet a nickel

[meager rover]

Damn halo is getting a glow up

So many positive things happening

[fresh sail]

wait should I give infinite another try?

[red urchin]

Halo is the best thing ever created

[fossil skiff]

Why not?

[fresh sail]

Cause i dont want to waste my time when I could be playing other games

[fossil skiff]

It’s getting better. Plenty of things to do in it rn

Personally I’ve really enjoyed having squad battle

[fresh sail]

Is there legit infection now?

[queen remnant]

There is infection

[candid solar]

The season is literally named infection for a reason

[fresh sail]

didnt even know that I havent played the game in months

[candid solar]

And they advertised infection in the season advert for that same reason

[fresh sail]

Thats why im asking lol

Is the gameplay comparable to infection modes from previous games like Reach for example??

[chilly ermine]

Yo @candid solar did you pass your finals

[candid solar]

Yes

[chilly ermine]

That's great

[fresh sail]

Is the gameplay comparable to infection modes from previous games like Reach for example??

[candid solar]

It's way harder.

[fossil skiff]

Slide go brrrr

[chilly ermine]

No the other Spartans are infected

[candid solar]

Infected alpha zombies can turn invisible when crouching and can deploy shroud screens (basically smoke bombs).

Beta zombies can use a new teleport/phase shifting equipment.

Both have a higher max movement speed.

[chilly ermine]

You have vk commandos and bulldogs

[candid solar]

Survivors get a wide variety of weapons and equipment they can scavenge from the map, but have very limited ammo, especially for spawn weapons.

[quiet stream]

@queen remnant hmm... I kinda want that.

But it's too late.

[fresh sail]

sounds like a halo 4 infection mode I forget the name

[chilly ermine]

You get a special hazmat core for free. I think it's from the battle pass

Idk

[fresh sail]

Ill give it a try. Still wish we had an actual shotgun

[chilly ermine]

The bulldog one shots

[fresh sail]

Interesting

[chilly ermine]

A body shot

[fresh sail]

headshots insta kill?

[chilly ermine]

Yeah Im pretty sure

[round laurel]

I don't think this is a terrible idea. Overwatch 2 gives you credits for completing weekly challenges, and anecdotally speaking, it gave me enough credits that I only had to spend 5 quid on the new BP rather than 10... so, it might actually bring in some additional revenue.

[tight remnant]

I'm not sure that reduces FOMO if they're already available

[bold sparrow]

Fear of Missing Out cant really be a thing if its impossible to miss out

[red urchin]

[normal owl]

Wow this new stormvapor Xbox controller is nice. And the corresponding dynamic background is free on Xbox FYI.

[bold sparrow]

Oh wait thats plastic?
I thought that was wrapped in foam.

Yesss this weeks reward is the ONI emblem
I want that in real life so bad

[acoustic echo]

A beautiful controller

[obsidian wyvern]

woah

[sturdy mauve]

among us

[acoustic echo]

That’s the game where you throw the guy out of the spaceship for being a sussy baka

[hearty flame]

I bought the Among Us potion from the Dark Web

[acoustic echo]

What happens if you drink the amongus potion from the dark web?

[hearty flame]

You become a Sussy Baka and Dean Norris will accuse you of that

[red urchin]

What are you talking about?

[acoustic echo]

The potion

[red urchin]

What potion

[acoustic echo]

The amongus potion from the dark web

[acoustic echo]

^

Drink it Master Chief

Drink the potion!

[red urchin]

No

[candid schooner]

Bruh where can I download custom game maps for MCC on my Computer?!?!

[acoustic echo]

Steam Workshop

You have MCC on steam or MS store?

Otherwise you can go to the nexus I believe. You just have to manually install those.

[granite sky]

yea i steam workshop and nexus mods are all i know

[acoustic echo]

Anything worth downloading will be on workshop. Considering all nexus mods are pretty much being brought to steam.

Any ones worth downloading.

Thank you 343 for giving MCC the life it deserves.

[maiden tide]

🍔

[candid schooner]

i didnt realize old custom games were on workshop

[acoustic echo]

Ohhhh

[candid schooner]

cause alot of people say go to some website

[acoustic echo]

I thought you meant maps

[granite sky]

in ancient times halomaps.org was the place

[acoustic echo]

Like are we talking mods or are we talking OG fileshare stuff?

[candid schooner]

OG file share maps and game modes

like predator, fat kid, left for dead, great journey etc

[red urchin]

What

[candid schooner]

what what

no one plays predator anymore, I can easily make the game mode again but id like to find the foundry map

[red urchin]

343 needs to add playebel elites for my boy arbiter

[acoustic echo]

Master chief. Fat Kid was a game mode the boomers played back when Deadmau5 released the best album 4x4=12 @red urchin

[red urchin]

Ok

[normal owl]

It's almost relaxing to look at. Love it.

[bold sparrow]

Gahhh.
Of course, I get into Social slayer, start doing good and the game drops me out
18 and 2 in Rocket/Skewer...ggggahhh.

We can only hope

[quiet hedge]

I think I've tried that before but I guess I'll do it again.

Easy Anti-Cheat always bans me for no reason while there will be dudes driving up walls with warthogs.

It's so frustrating and has made me play the game less and less over the last few months.

[main sonnet]

Like... why remove the social playlist? finally we get a break from the constant sweat fest and then they take it away.

[dreamy stirrup]

if you're referring to MCC bans, you can hit up Halo Safety. https://aka.ms/HaloSafety

[elfin glacier]

i really need to make a list of things Infinite has outlasted

[quiet hedge]

Can I still appeal a ban if it's already over?

[pulsar cobalt]

What's the weekly item anyone know ?

[dreamy stirrup]

i know but i'm not gonna tell you so you can call me lazy too

[dreamy stirrup]

well, no. that doesn't do much really

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[dreamy stirrup]

i'm not really laughing tbh

[quiet hedge]

Yeah, um, I think I have to just hope EAC actually responds this time.

[dreamy stirrup]

i wouldn't really expect EAC to get involved in game bans

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rich kernel]

Anyone got a picture of all the ranks like career and normal ranks

[main sonnet]

Its an ONI badge Charm.

[pulsar cobalt]

Ah thanks

[quiet hedge]

So like, when their software bugs up, they do nothing to help you?

[elfin glacier]

man i remember like, in 2021 people swearing up and down that infinite should use EAC

yet i keep hearing about MCC being plagued by cheaters and the like

[candid solar]

Hmmmmmmmm

Curious.

[elfin glacier]

EAC did do one thing reliably
complain about my first party (direct from AMD) drivers every few launches

[quiet hedge]

It still has cheaters. Now you just get banned randomly.

[elfin glacier]

oh i remember someone in a flying warthog in a reach game a while back

good times, thanks EAC

[quiet hedge]

I do not know how it gets triggered. I used to think it was because of how fast I was playing so I started slowing down but I still get banned for just walking.

[pulsar cobalt]

Maybe infinite should have EAC and Vac 😂

[quiet hedge]

My last ban happened while I was standing and shooting.

[dreamy stirrup]

mmkay

well next time you can hit up Halo Safety

but it seems moot now 🙂

[quiet hedge]

What's Vac?

[elfin glacier]

on a related note I have wondered if Microsoft Defender could be leveraged as an anticheat solution.

[fossil skiff]

Okay you had me at pretzel bread

Aaand now I want a Caesar salad 😑

[dreamy stirrup]

i don't love ceasar salads

but i do love me some rabbit food in summer

[fossil skiff]

I am slowly expanding the list of things I’ve tried

[dreamy stirrup]

the cucumber, tomatoes, and peppers were from the garden

[fossil skiff]

Best way to do it.

[dreamy stirrup]

was good

no garden raspberries in the salad

the dogs eat them all lol

[fossil pasture]

hi chat

[elfin glacier]

your dogs like raspberries?

[fossil skiff]

I don’t think I’ve tried raspberries in salad yet..only strawberry

[dreamy stirrup]

yes!

the lil brown one sprints after you if he sees you going to the raspberry bush or the tomato plant

[elfin glacier]

huh neat

[dreamy stirrup]

yes to all

[fiery vortex]

Anyone transitioned from Xbox to PC playing Halo? How hard is it?

[obsidian wyvern]

(is there one without the infection badge?)

[dreamy stirrup]

[obsidian wyvern]

Why is it when BTS (Big Team Social) comes up, BTB itself is not removed during the BTS's allowed time as a matchmaking option.
This only splits the BTB Community, what's left of it, to lower queue times for both options. Can someone explain this situation to me?

[hearty flame]

Which browser is the one that automatically changes your history if you haven't accessed anything in two weeks

[steady jolt]

OperaGx

[fickle drift]

I think its better to let people choose what they wanna play, even if that means longer waiting times

[fickle drift]

I understand that. Some I guess do not like the many vehicles, let alone the Power/Legendary weapons. Okay... 😦
Here we go into the Q. Thank you for replying.

Yeah I really wasn't a fan of btb heavies so that probably changes my opinion

[rich kernel]

Thanks

[twilit vault]

For the past 4-5 days my ranked has been really messed up only getting +4 points for a win. If I lose I down -14 points. I have lost so much rank because of this. Anyone else still having this issue?

[valid ruin]

Are you a really high rank/mmr? Usually higher levels get less progress per win and more per loss

[twilit vault]

I was close to Diamond 4 now I’m almost at a platinum 6 because how bad it’s been.

[late harbor]

How am I supposed to get the nameplate?

[fickle drift]

hey guys

[candid solar]

If yer channelling yer inner Kig-Yar pirate's need fer bountiful booty, then jump into MCC to unlock the International Pirate Month 2023 nameplate. Log in, or walk the plank!

[amber mirage]

That's not an issue. Your rank goes up a lot if you win games against higher skill opponents and goes down a lot if you lose to lower skill opponents

[candid solar]

Literally says in the post lmao

[twilit vault]

It hasn’t been like this before I only get +4 points for a win no matter what. And if i lose it’s always -14 no matter what. I play with other people similar rank and it’s not happening to them

[amber mirage]

Then your skill rating must have dropped and the game is adjusting it accordingly.

Your MMR, that is. Not CSR.

[twilit vault]

Idk how I’m usually positive every game top of leader board even when I lose a game I’m usually positive. Idk what’s going on I had to drop 33 kills in a game last night only to get + 5 points

Was just trying to see if mor people are having this issue

[amber mirage]

Skill rating adjustments are relative. Relative to your current skill and relative to the skill of your teammates and opponents.

[coarse sun]

when you try to buy the skinned reflexes bundle through customization all the weapon skins are not there (only there when its in store) why is this?

[twilit vault]

Yah it makes me not want to play because how much points I lose if i lose a match

[valid ruin]

Welcome to ranked gaming in 2023, pretty much every game is like this anymore :')

[vapid siren]

ngl you need to decouple from the ego of it and realize that rank doesn't really matter at the end of the day

as counterintuitive as that sounds

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean it's nice seeing number go up

if I was just losing it constantly I'd be put off too

BUT infinite doesn't have any other playlist with Br starts for obj modes (why?)

[candid solar]

Aim for Bronze 1

[chrome vortex]

I don't take ranked seriously in regards to climbing through the ranks, I just play at my skill level

I mean that's arguably the point of ranked

[twilit vault]

It’s not about ego at all. You play ranked for competitive and ranking up. When you lose -14 points for a loss and it takes 6 wins to recoup those points back just to lose 1 game to take that away.

[chrome vortex]

the ego comes into it in regards to climbing through ranked in the first place

since there really is no point or reward besides the bragging rights

[vapid siren]

its more that "who cares its an arbitrary number and a png"

[plush sierra]

So, I just dug out possibly an amazing thing to dump on the MCC mod tools. IDK of any of the staff here remember it, it was a project called Titan

[vapid siren]

its easy to get into it but like you gotta go with the flow of it cause it'll just affect you harder than you want it to

[obsidian wyvern]

you're speaking to halo fans lol

[twilit vault]

I mean I do try for onyx for the nameplates but I still play because I enjoy the game regardless

[obsidian wyvern]

the same people who were devastated by there being no career progression

[chrome vortex]

the way I see it, the more you fall the easier the games'll get so you'll most likely get back up anyway

[plush sierra]

Imma move this to #halo-discussion rq

[vapid siren]

there is an even out point yes

that's generally when you see the +/- relatively equalize... ish.

overall you'll always lose more than you gain in many ranked games out there

siege, cs, ow, you name it you'll probably hear the same argument

[twilit vault]

Yeah I know I was just wondering if other people was having the same issue.

[chrome vortex]

the amount of points you lose in some games depends on how the algorithm calculates the results beforehand

not in Halo iirc, in games like CS

[vapid siren]

everyone kinda faces the issue in some capacity like i said its kinda just intrinsic to the territory

[vapid siren]

for the most part yeah

[chrome vortex]

I think CS has it that it predicts who's gonna win and lose beforehand, if that prediction is correct the points gained and loss is not as great as if it's wrong

you get more points winning against people you were supposed to lose against and lose more points losing against people you were supposed to win against

[vapid siren]

in ranked games your rank is overall not so much your actual tangible skill, but a more visual representation of your win/loss record and thus the likelihood of you winning

obv better skilled players win more against the avg joe so they go up until they hit the 50% winrate

[amber mirage]

That's pretty much how it works in Halo

[twilit vault]

Well my things it’s always +4 points a win noo mater what and no matter what a loss is -13 and people said it should go away after a few days and it’s been more than a few days for me

[vapid siren]

if its really that extreme then it wants you lower

[bold ingot]

Just throwing another one out there but is or isn’t it a bad idea to turned previous events into bundles?

[candid solar]

I'm pretty sure that's more or less industry standard at this point.

[vapid siren]

single source item rule says bad idea

[bold ingot]

Single source item?

[vapid siren]

if you'll notice every item is only earned one way

no asterisk it's either you got it or didnt, and how you got it only has the one source or method

[amber mirage]

No. There's two overall systems that are the most popular.

[timber charm]

Lots of games have it, including past halos lol

Sean at 343 said it shudve been day1

I agree with him.

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean to the point where they didn't play the game because there was no career progression

[amber mirage]

Career progression is literally just a one season battle pass

[obsidian wyvern]

which didn't make sense to me

like sure, I agree it should've been there, but not playing because of that just was weird to me

[bold ingot]

Is it really a bad thing tho?

[vapid siren]

yes

the only things that could be done "multisource" are promotional merch items like the monster energy stuff

which is really just a paid cosmetic with extra steps

[bold ingot]

I don’t drink monster so

[vapid siren]

so ultimately that going to the store is kinda... whatever really

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I have to agree, they should just keep the item to being earned through 1 avenue

otherwise it just gets messy

[vapid siren]

making a paid item earnable draws ire of those who put money down, and also then why would a player spend money

why would you actively damage your revenue stream

[amber mirage]

Because your time stream is limited

[vapid siren]

making earnable items paid while that helps revenue, cheapens the achievement of an earnable item and draws the ire of everyone

[obsidian wyvern]

that I have to disagree with

in a sense

[bold ingot]

Ah, I was just wondering cuz my cousin also plays this is a bit jealous of me and the stuff that I have and that he missed out on
