[amber mirage]

Battlefield proved way back that people are willing to pay for shortcut packs that give them all the unlocks they could have earned through playtime.

[obsidian wyvern]

making credits earnable is a good thing? it'll make people return to the game and play it

earnable isn't a word? lol

[valid ruin]

Dang almost like FOMO is a bad idea and just contributes to the toxicity of online gaming therefore also making the lives of devs harder, perhaps something incredible and new and revolutionary like including an actual decent progression system within your game for free would help reduce all the anger people feel when gaming online

[vapid siren]

what

[candid solar]

I honestly think the people constantly complaining about it are more toxic than the problem itself.

[vapid siren]

bro really came out of left field there ok

[timber charm]

it makes sense, some ppl don’t have time

[amber mirage]

Honestly, yeah

[vapid siren]

pay to skip is its own thing and we do have that with swaps and xp boosts

[fickle drift]

Not a great comparison but I liked what Battlefront 2 ended up settling on.

Credit skips and bundles absolutely existed, but they were also earnable, albeit through a grindy process.
Can argue profitability but I think cosmetic saturation would've helped there.

[obsidian wyvern]

the way mcc was gonna do it sounded like the right way to go

[candid solar]

No, Halo MCC is a charity.

Reddit told me so.

[obsidian wyvern]

but people heard monetisation and instantly said no

[fickle drift]

Said it then, will say it again.

If monetisation would've encouraged further / more frequent support I'd have taken it in a heartbeat.

[valid ruin]

I would've been glad to accept MCC getting monetization if progression had remained the same and it meant MCC got more new content and support

[candid solar]

I'm pretty sure that was outright stated when it was put forth.

[silent trail]

i regret breaking my fast, had carbs now im in food coma and im not done with work yet lol

[candid solar]

Oof

Was it at least good food

[silent trail]

i usually fast until like 4-5 pm every day which has helped me cut down from 222 to 213, want to go down to 205

[candid solar]

I'm trying to go from 170 to 150 myself. Best of luck.

[silent trail]

my aunt started fasting and she lost weight too, i learned its important to fast because it cleans the body and flushes it out

i recommend just doing this
fast every day
track your calories using food scale and my fitnesspal
dont go over your calories for the day, so eat in caloric restriction 500 calories below mainenance

i googled tdee calculator, then entered my info, it told my maintenance was 3200, so i eat 2700 every day

im 6'3, so going down to 202-205 i would be lean which is my goal, being lean is the best

[cedar turret]

Leaning isn’t great, good posture is good for you

[silent trail]

some days its hard to fast until 4-5, and i break around 3:30 instead

haha

[timber charm]

I started intermittent fasting, it’s great

[silent trail]

fasting is awesome!

[regal chasm]

Is this gonna end with an offer for a 150$ weight loss program?

[elfin glacier]

lol
lmao even

[silent trail]

haha no

just chatting about life

[obsidian wyvern]

damn it

[elfin glacier]

Age of Empires 3 fans eating good

[silent trail]

think back to the primitive days, we had to build bow an arrow from scratch, learn how to hunt, rub sticks together to make fire to keep warm and cook our game we hunted, the frequency of people eating today is not good for our bodies

[timber charm]

Facts, processed foods poison basically

[obsidian wyvern]

siege

[round laurel]

This is starting to feel like an ad you find in your filtered message requests on Instagram

[elfin glacier]

nf

[obsidian wyvern]

I played age of empires 2!

but it was only for my gamepass quest

[candid solar]

Yeah I was getting that vibe

[elfin glacier]

you should play more of it

[silent trail]

i stopped eating all that trash, i am spending the extra money for organic things at my local farmers market and learning how to cook from home, and i stopped using products with toxic chemicals by learning about toxic ingredients and avoiding anything that has it

[elfin glacier]

doctors hate him!!! learn his secret! click here

[silent trail]

so worth it and gives you peace of mind knowing you arent putting trash in your body

[cedar turret]

So who likes twizzlers or maltesers ?

[candid solar]

My secret was running to an unhealthy degree

And my new secret is

Guess what

Running to an even unhealthier degree

[obsidian wyvern]

damn it didn't track my 8 seconds of staying in the menu

[timber charm]

Haha

[elfin glacier]

play the game

[dreamy stirrup]

i've had to baby step back into running

i am not gud at it

[elfin glacier]

i need to start biking again

[obsidian wyvern]

I haven't even played halo wars properly

[elfin glacier]

do that too

[obsidian wyvern]

Same

[elfin glacier]

or else

[obsidian wyvern]

I've still got my BMX in my shed lol

[candid solar]

Between lifting, ab workouts, and going back to running, I think I'm going to be more rounded out than the last time I lost a lot of weight.

[obsidian wyvern]

it goes up to my knees or something lmfao

[candid solar]

My old shop thought I had cancer and didn't know it when I lost about 40 pounds in 2 and a half months.

[cedar turret]

We’re you a bandit as a child?

[dreamy stirrup]

he's well rounded

[silent trail]

yeah building up lean tissue and muscle endurance while shedding body fat is the best thing anyone can do

[candid solar]

Round is, indeed, a shape.

[silent trail]

no need to do dirty bulk

my best friend has become caloric restriction and measuring weighing everything i eat on food scale and logging it on myfitnesspal, it changed my life, just need to commit

[thorn pebble]

Any wanna run campaign Mcc slow lore play

[candid solar]

This is what's on the other end of the screen when you bully a Trenchbird on the internet. Are you really gonna have a beef with him? A silly little round guy?

[candid solar]

Lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

well

[candid solar]

The double

[obsidian wyvern]

I did lose

[dreamy stirrup]

i've been to the gym for like 9 weeks in a row

i'm v proud of myself

now i need to work running back in

[candid solar]

My issue was always getting bored when running past 30 minutes.

In Qatar, I got over that hump by playing Pokemon Ultra Sun and grinding for Shinies.

[dreamy stirrup]

i was up to like 10 miles

🥺

then i had to take a year off

😭

[candid solar]

This kills the cardio.

[dreamy stirrup]

it truly does

[candid solar]

2020?

[dreamy stirrup]

no

bilateral tarsal tunnel

1/10 experience

[candid solar]

Ah, that's what killed mine.

[dreamy stirrup]

i started running in 2020 cuz i needed to gtfo

lol

[candid solar]

Air quality in Vegas was still awful and pretty much every gym near me had closed at the time.

Plus, Vegas in Summer.

Excuses, excuses, but still.

[dreamy stirrup]

I’m in a swamp. Gimme Vegas heat to run in over swamp water air

[candid solar]

Fair enough.

I just recall the air basically being pepper spray to me.

[dreamy stirrup]

heh that's fair.

[fickle drift]

We love cardio

I do 2x 10km runs a week usually.

[candid solar]

Welp

Last final of this semester, Sociology.

[cedar turret]

That should be fairly easy.

Finals were always annoying because of them being scheduled weirdly. You could end up taking the final for an 0800 tuesday/thursday class on a wednesday and 2100

[candid solar]

Yeah it's just on one module

[cedar turret]

At least 85 percent of undergrads already know where there classes are and when, so why make them use a completely random schedule to find out the change. Just have it at the normal session.

And the other 15 percent are going to bomb anyway, so whats the difference

[plush sigil]

i follow halo.api on twitter like the i am

[granite sky]

15% gang

[dreamy stirrup]

smh stealing the low res images

[plush sigil]

oops lmao

[dreamy stirrup]

LOL

tsk tsk

normally he asks me for the 4k lol

i responded with a tweet with the 4k one 🙂

[coral gyro]

Anyone else get an issue where the search changes back to expanded after a game ends?

[plush sigil]

pixelflare excels yet again with the keyart

[candid solar]

I gotta admit, while I usually like pixelflare, I'm still not super on board with that pre-GEN3 design they went with for Fireteam Shadow months back.

But then, I don't think the choice in codpiece was the best for that particular spot of art.

[chilly ermine]

They should make a memes channel

[candid solar]

They should not.

I've seen what Halo fans post. Y'all can't meme.

[chilly ermine]

Yep forgot bout that

[dreamy stirrup]

you can post memes on r/halo on saturdays!

[chilly ermine]

Cool

Wait why only Saturday's

[dark lance]

[dreamy stirrup]

cuz it's Ryan's fav day

[candid solar]

Not gonna lie

That Spartan II, III, IV meme I keep seeing reposted is already irking me greatly.

I gotta be less annoyed by people being wrong someday.

[dreamy stirrup]

channel your inner keanu

[candid solar]

I'm gonna spike my blood pressure like a damn volleyball instead, I think.

:3

[dreamy stirrup]

well

you do you lol

[candid solar]

See, now you've got that Keanu energy. Great example.

[chrome vortex]

what meme is it?

[misty solstice]

theres a meme of that?

[obsidian wyvern]

coUGH

[candid solar]

The one with IIs and IIIs being women bodybuilders and the IVs being some random woman with buzzcut blue hair.

[chrome vortex]

haven't seen it

[candid solar]

It's pretty mid.

[dreamy stirrup]

i posted it here!

[obsidian wyvern]

wait without the

thing

[dreamy stirrup]

i don't give him the clean one

😛

[obsidian wyvern]

😔

[dreamy stirrup]

i give him the branded 4K

[quaint canyon]

i used to think grunts were dumb but ever since i saw their back story i pitied them.

[obsidian wyvern]

tbf the infection logo is neat, i just like it being plain

[misty solstice]

anyone finished the bp yet?

[candid solar]

Yes.

[misty solstice]

damn bearly at 25

[candid solar]

I've maxed out every pass within the first month and a half of them being released.

[misty solstice]

using 2xp boosts or nah?

[candid solar]

Sometimes yes, usually no. Even then it's only 2XP.

After the amount you earned per match was boosted heavily it's been a cakewalk to level up just playing regularly.

[obsidian wyvern]

if you play a few games every day, you can get it done in like 2 weeks

a few games being around an hour

[misty solstice]

i only play at max 3-4hrs per week, mainly just to get the weekly done

ive just been grindin zombies on cod bo3 & 4

[obsidian wyvern]

fair, as long as you have smthn to do which is what most people seem to need to stay interested in a game

[misty solstice]

i will say squad battle has been most enjoyable in infinite

not too chaotic like btb, but the maps are familiar since theyre h2-4 maps

[undone stone]

If two vegans get into a heated argument, can we still consider it beef?

[coral gyro]

im only on tier 31 of heroes of reach BP rn lol

i started in s2 and its the only one that doesnt give you the money back so i maxxed all other passes first

[fickle drift]

Dont have to

You are 100% right

[steady jolt]

Best is always subjective, so if that's what you like that's cool :)

[fickle drift]

I replayed H3 countless times when I was younger

[undone stone]

I found out that if your room is too cold, you'll be warmer if you stay in the corners since they're 90°.

[fossil skiff]

You would actually be warmer towards the ceiling due to natural convection.

[candid solar]

Boy

It's been every night with one of those guys, hasn't it.

[candid solar]

Thousand years, dungeon.

[undone stone]

In other news, I'm reading a book about the properties of anti-gravity and I can't put it down.

Ok, I'm done.

[fossil skiff]

I hope your book gets hit by an anti-matter

[chilly plinth]

I would like to be able to wear hoodies again.

[empty salmon]

I just noticed smth

My K/D in Halo MCC was 0.7. Now it is 0.9. I have made progress 🫶🏻

[fossil pine]

Hey fam. New on discord cuz I couldn’t find Reddit threads or simple google searches answering what I needed. I just have a couple very basic forge questions lol 🥹

[fickle drift]

Is it worth buying all the battle passes

[chrome vortex]

Seasons 2-4 have 1000 premium currency littered throughout, meaning you can complete all 3 of them from buying one of them

Season 1 has no premium currency though

if you plan to grind through all of them and make no other mtx purchases, you only have to buy 2 of the passes

[fickle drift]

Yeah I'm planning to grind through entirely

[jaunty yoke]

Every season pass going forward will include 1000 credits to buy the next one

[coarse sedge]

Drugs

[coral stratus]

Why was the attempts to flesh out master chief’s character in h4 - h5 failed but kratos character development succeeded

[coarse sedge]

I don't know

[jaunty yoke]

It wasn't a failed attempt

Halo 4 did it perfectly

But immature fan backlash lead to the team forgetting about all that in Halo 5

[coral stratus]

The majority of the fanbase didn’t like that unfortunately

[jaunty yoke]

The majority of people don't like pineapple pizza but that doesn't make it bad

Not everyone was happy with Kratos either

But the God of War fans are much more mature

[hasty zinc]

people throw the word majority around too much

[timber charm]

h4 had a intriguing setup

but h5 kinda took a new direction

dropped the didact return for created

which then got reset again with infinite

that said infinite is fun asf and drippy asf

so idc

[fickle drift]

sup

[jaunty yoke]

Who would have thought fan overreaction and exaggeration would lead to creative changes that would deviate from their original vision

[timber charm]

reaction was artstyle dissonance

which was received as plot rejection

infinite corrected exactly that, got praise

[jaunty yoke]

That's exactly what strikes me about the Halo community as immature and unberable people

[polar walrus]

Hi Group! I want to start Playing a Halo Online on my PC in a competitive environement. Whats the most active right now between Each game in Halo MCC and Halo Infinite?

[jaunty yoke]

Of all the things they can complain about, they wanna complain about how Elites look fat now

[timber charm]

pretty sure infinite if total players

[jaunty yoke]

Currently Infinite is more active

[timber charm]

i feel chiefs h3 armor was alot of it

went into tube one way

[jaunty yoke]

Yep

[timber charm]

like i get it

[jaunty yoke]

And Halo 3 can get out of the way with his armor being significantly changed from Halo 2 despite being the exact same, but Halo 4 can't

[polar walrus]

How about the Older games between them?

[timber charm]

its like if u took idk a captain rex

clone trooper suit

and ppl recognize a certain look

[jaunty yoke]

If it's ranked competitive you want, only Halo 3 and Reach are played

But people like to pretend Halo 4 Chief is ugly and unrecognizable when he just isn't

[timber charm]

i legit think 343 used that logic exactly

but console tech difference was the reason

and 343 didnt take into account

h3 graphically is already real enuf

high poly enuf u cant change anymore

[polar walrus]

Thanks for the Answers! 🙂

[jaunty yoke]

Like, what's the point of having new artists with their own distinct talent and ideas if fans just want them to copy the exact same thing they already had before

[timber charm]

i literally feel if chief remained in h3 armor out

and by the end changed into h4 armor

with a cutscene, it'd help loads

mentally at least

[jaunty yoke]

That's a double standard for me

[timber charm]

like CE to H2

some lil idk 10 second cutscene

[jaunty yoke]

They care so much about a little plothole like why his armor looks different

[timber charm]

take the spOPs budget to make that happen

(if u need to)

[jaunty yoke]

But they absolutely don't care at all that Halo 2 has Johnson back without explaining how he survived CE, and still be an important character

[timber charm]

its like DarthVaders suit

or idk, phase 2 clone trooper

its just a thing

u know wut i mean

[jaunty yoke]

Even with that they would have complained about something else

[timber charm]

like certain established visuals

[jaunty yoke]

Or rather, they did

[timber charm]

the lightsaber got a reaction remember

the kylo lightsaber

[jaunty yoke]

Like the new looks for the Covenant and the new Forerunner style

[timber charm]

for not being established lightsaber visually

[jaunty yoke]

Yeah

They can't accept that a franchise can have more additions to its universe beyond the 3 original installments

[timber charm]

welp i hope 343 know infinite is solid

and totally worth building on

(especially gameplay pls no change)

[jaunty yoke]

It's not like Halo 3 didn't significantly changed how Brutes looked from Halo 2
Oh sure a book explains it
But people that only play the games? Yeah good look findfing out why

[timber charm]

with species i can headcanon

its jus different regional types like people

[jaunty yoke]

I can do that

[timber charm]

like all the brutes are the species brute

[jaunty yoke]

Which still wouldn't explain why they have armor now

[timber charm]

infinite brutes?

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 3 onwards

[timber charm]

oh u prefer hairy naky brutes haha

[misty solstice]

h2 brutes r better

[jaunty yoke]

The point is
Every Halo games does significant changes that go unexplained but only Halo 4 gets criticized for it

[timber charm]

post covie split?

[jaunty yoke]

I do love me some Chewbaccas

[misty solstice]

h3 and reach brutes look like pure garbagio imo

[timber charm]

theres an artist who did H2 brutes faithfully

high poly and high res

[misty solstice]

man those h2 designs were so godly

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 3 Brutes don't look so bad for me, the gameplay is the thing I disliked most about them. In Halo 2 they were feral and clearly more aggressive than Elites, while Halo 3 made them way more similar to Elites.
Reach Brutes now, those are ugly as all hell

[timber charm]

abimael salazar on artstation, halo art god

[misty solstice]

they screwed them up so hard in reach, literally brutes if they underwent chemo

[timber charm]

ya i dont like reach brute facially

i am glad infintie brutes continue H2A,HW2

so some consistency

[misty solstice]

yeah infinite brutes are decent, but still a farcry from h2

[jaunty yoke]

Reach has this problem of including Brutes and Phantoms despite the Covenant fleet in Reach being canonically the same fleet you fight in CE, which had already established by the latter that this particular fleet did not have Brutes or Phantoms

[timber charm]

ig cud be reach brutes are some assist group

for the ce fleet

[jaunty yoke]

Maybe

[timber charm]

hav u seen some of the infinite brute concepts

they initially had brute v created

[jaunty yoke]

They were really good

[timber charm]

it was neat

[jaunty yoke]

And I'm glad Brutes in the final game have some facial hair because the clean bald Craig from 2020 looked wack

[jaunty yoke]

Beautiful

[misty solstice]

no

[slow plover]

damn took me long enough to realize ranked takes no skill

[jaunty yoke]

What game and what platform

[slow plover]

they needa make ranked for swat or snipers, a more independent game mode

to actually show skill

[timber charm]

i mean onyx gets sweaty

gota lean forward for that

[slow plover]

from what ive seen its just rng

[timber charm]

crank volume up

[slow plover]

you either get lucky or dont

[coarse sedge]

Drugs

[timber charm]

there a def borderline winnables

[jaunty yoke]

Why is everyone playing on PC, where all the Xbox players at

[timber charm]

where if u play ur role perf u win

[jaunty yoke]

Don't you see there's no crossplay

[fickle drift]

no embed perms? actual 1984

[coarse sedge]

MCC?

[timber charm]

[jaunty yoke]

You didn't know?

Only Halo 3 supports crossplay, so, that's 2 games out of 6

[coarse sedge]

What about Reach?

[jaunty yoke]

For campaign that is
Multiplayer, all of them have crosplay

[coarse sedge]

Oh

What about drugs?

[jaunty yoke]

They're bad, like Noble 6

[coarse sedge]

WOAH

Naughty Naughty

[fickle drift]

pipe down with the noble six hate

[coarse sedge]

Fr

[jaunty yoke]

Nah

[coarse sedge]

Ok u big-nosed mf

[jaunty yoke]

I can barely like Master Chief as is, imagine someone that is a clone of him but with even less personality

[coarse sedge]

Calm urself

[fickle drift]

what is blud blabberin about

[coarse sedge]

I don't know

Anyways, Freddie Dredd?

[fickle drift]

"errm i can barely like master chief" BE NORMAL ‼️

[coarse sedge]

Ong?

[jaunty yoke]

If I wanted to play as a carboard cutout I'd get inside a box

[fickle drift]

dudes be like "noble six sucks" my brother in christ you designed his armor

[jaunty yoke]

His armor is the least of his problems

[misty solstice]

i will not accept noble 6 slander in this chat

[coarse sedge]

Do u lack the certain amount of brain cells 2 be a normal human being? Or r u stuck in the middle-ages like the middle-aged peasant u r?

[fickle drift]

real

[jaunty yoke]

While we're at it

Reach is the worst Halo game

[misty solstice]

debatable

[fickle drift]

blud has never played halo 4

[jaunty yoke]

Not open to debate

[coarse sedge]

We should bully the middle-aged peasant imo

[misty solstice]

blud has never played h5

[fickle drift]

halo 5 at least had fun gameplay

[misty solstice]

true but h4 had a decent story

[coarse sedge]

Ong

[jaunty yoke]

I've played all of them, ALL. OF. THEM.
Yes Reach is the worst

[fickle drift]

4 had like a medicore story

[coarse sedge]

Ur the worst

[fickle drift]

some parts were done well others absolutely awful

[misty solstice]

better than h5 at least

[fickle drift]

true

[coarse sedge]

Hold on

[fickle drift]

its ok to have a wrong opinion

[jaunty yoke]

I'll take Chief and Cortana any day before a team of 6 cardboards

[jaunty yoke]

Opinion can't be wrong, that's not the corect use of words

[coarse sedge]

Ok boys

[misty solstice]

but reach has issues in its campaign, from a lore prespective that is

[fickle drift]

yeah it was a joke

[jaunty yoke]

The joke here is pretending Noble 6 is good

[coarse sedge]

Because they are

[misty solstice]

🅱️ruh

[fickle drift]

extremely loud incorrect buzzer

[jaunty yoke]

I'd rather play the story mode of Mortal Kombat 11 again

[misty solstice]

noble team is aight, couldve been written better

[coarse sedge]

Ong

But like, Noble 6

[misty solstice]

but better than the mess that we got with h5

[coarse sedge]

Ong

[fickle drift]

halo reach is like the third best halo game idk what youre wafflin about

[coarse sedge]

Its 2nd for me

[jaunty yoke]

You mean third most overrated

[fickle drift]

i put 2 and 3 above it

[misty solstice]

id agree w 3rd

h2 and odst are above it for me

[slow plover]

peak

[coarse sedge]

Its goes

1. Halo 3
2. Halo:Reach
3. Halo 2

Thats my top 3

[misty solstice]

ill be honest, h3 while godly in terms of gameplay, kinda had a weak campaign imo

bro got yoted lol

[coarse sedge]

But it was easy 2 speedrun

[fickle drift]

what did blud say

[misty solstice]

he had a curseword

[coarse sedge]

Blud got denied

[coarse sedge]

Damn

[jaunty yoke]

Remove the story, armor lock, weapon bloom, the multiplayer maps that are campaign recycled areas, the fact that you had to pay for new multiplayer maps after the low count of 9 at launch, and then Halo Reach starts becoming decent

[fickle drift]

nick eh 30 type censorship

[coarse sedge]

Pfft

[fickle drift]

the mods of the official halo discord server when i tell them theres curse words in halo

[coarse sedge]

Crazy

[frozen gazelle]

counterpoint: i cant make Master Chief look like a tube of toothpaste in cutscenes

[jaunty yoke]

Do you have any intentions of staying in this server?

[misty solstice]

nah firefight was lit in reach tho u cant lie, so was forge

[coarse sedge]

Ong

I liked 5's Forge tho

[fickle drift]

whats the problem with what i said

[jaunty yoke]

That only makes the experience 10% more enjoyable

[fickle drift]

gulp

[misty solstice]

h5 forge was actually godly

[jaunty yoke]

Las time someone talked about that got banned

[fickle drift]

i sincerely apologize for joking about the official halo discord server moderation team

🙏

[coarse sedge]

XD

[misty solstice]

blud on his knees

[coarse sedge]

Where is the 343i people at?

[misty solstice]

shleepin probably

[jaunty yoke]

Watching over you

[coarse sedge]

Rip our hard thought out messages

[jaunty yoke]

The thing is simple
Even though Halo had harsh language in the past, this server is tied to rules that Discord itself gives to verified servers, including that.
Having troublesome members puts the server itself in trouble

[fickle drift]

thats crazy

[coarse sedge]

Maybe don't include minors under the age of 16 in the server

[misty solstice]

thats why i mainly chill in the dead space discord

cuz we can be chill and curse like crazy

[coarse sedge]

Can't wait until I'm an adult

2 more months, so amazing

[jaunty yoke]

Both Discord and the T rating for videogames are 13 above

[fickle drift]

ok guys so it actually isnt joever

we are fine

For server moderation concerns, please message @bleak yoke.

[coarse sedge]

I'm gonna write a report to 343i about me not being able to speedrun certain Reach stuff

[jaunty yoke]

And that's their fault?

[coarse sedge]

Yes

[fickle drift]

guys when do we get fusion coil jumping back

[coarse sedge]

Ong

[fickle drift]

literally the most important feature in infinite

[jaunty yoke]

Never

[coarse sedge]

I don't play Infinite

2 reasons

[mortal falcon]

Unpopular opinion: The Halo 3 AR was mid asf

[fickle drift]

i ony play campaign i do not like the multiplayer

for infinite

[candid solar]

Only a fool would disagree.

[jaunty yoke]

It's not unpopular actually

[coarse sedge]

1. I prefer the older games
2. I have no Xbox rn

[fickle drift]

this is a popular opinion imo

[candid solar]

The only game it's actively worse in is Reach.

[mortal falcon]

I just got chewed up on Twitter for that 😂😂😂😂

[misty solstice]

not unpopular, it was borderline useless in h3

[fickle drift]

welll ok that sounds stupid "popular opinion imo"

[jaunty yoke]

Everyone knows the Halo 4 AR is unbeatable

[coarse sedge]

Who is typing in my dms?

[candid solar]

And that's because Reach's AR is weaker due to how Reach's health works.

[jaunty yoke]

And it also looks so ugly

[mortal falcon]

I agree

[fickle drift]

do not be dissing the reach ar like that

[misty solstice]

man halo infinite ar during the beta was so godly

[mortal falcon]

What’s your thoughts on the H3 needler?

[coarse sedge]

Just burst fire, it'll be ok

[candid solar]

Eh, Halo 5's is arguably the best in terms of power, but then I'd be leaning into variants and, well, yeah.

[jaunty yoke]

I can't not

[fickle drift]

they nerfed it too hard

[jaunty yoke]

Some Reach designs are so bad

[fickle drift]

it went from too overpowered in halo 2 to near unusuable in 3

[candid solar]

Not a matter of burst fire, though its accuracy is about the same level as Halo 3's even from center cool.

[misty solstice]

too overpowered on h2?

[jaunty yoke]

Wait a second...

[misty solstice]

my guy what r u smokin?

[fickle drift]

dual wielding them in campaign went crazy

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 2 had no AR...

[fickle drift]

im talking about needler

[timber charm]

343's new chonky AR in infinite 🤌

i repn that for lifee

[pliant hatch]

listening to gamer music.

[misty solstice]

bro in multi the needler was beyond useless in h2 multi

[surreal ridge]

Halo 2 needier went crazy

[misty solstice]

they nerfed it so hard from the h2 beta

[jaunty yoke]

Ah yes I agree actually the Needler is useless in 3

[mortal falcon]

I was playing the other day and I have that instinct playing campaign from H5 and Infinite grab a needler then I forgot that will not help in halo 3

[candid solar]

Not gonna lie, that slick bulky AR redeco model from the first infection bundle was fire.

[surreal ridge]

I’d duel weld with an smg or plasma rifle

[candid solar]

Straight up one of my favorite Halo redesigns ever.

[misty solstice]

nah but h4 needler is actually crazy

[jaunty yoke]

The Needler was only ever useful in Halo 2 and wasn't useful again until 4

[candid solar]

I didn't get it, but man, it is nice.

[mortal falcon]

I think that was a nod to the CE one. Which I hope they end up bringing back some old weapons

[candid solar]

It wasn't at all.

It's its own thing.

[mortal falcon]

343 had a massive W with their needless

[pliant hatch]

needler rifle

[mortal falcon]

Yeah that’s what I meant by a nod referring to the design of it

[jaunty yoke]

The Reach needler had an extremely fast firing speed and a ton of ammo, but it had one problem: it only supercombined if the target didn't have energy shields
Halo 4 was the same but that energy shield restriction was gone
The result was overpowered and brutal

[candid solar]

Honestly, every AR redesign in Infinite that isn't the default MA40 or the various muzzle brakes is just beautiful. It's a shame it's built on the garbage look of Reach's AR.

[coarse sedge]

Guys, where r my drugs?

[surreal ridge]

I only like it in mp for infinite

[misty solstice]

thats what made the h4 needler so good 🤤

[fossil skiff]

H4 needler is ridiculous which made campaign against covenant that much more fun imo

[mortal falcon]

Does anyone think the sounds of the game in general in H4 were just idk not it

[jaunty yoke]

It made Jackals a threat for once

[fossil skiff]

A few of them

[jaunty yoke]

Shielded Jackals that is

[candid solar]

I'm one of very few people who actually likes the Halo 4 BR sound.

[misty solstice]

yeah the sfx for the guns were mid in h4

[surreal ridge]

Me I don’t like H4 at all

[candid solar]

It sounds very futuristic.

[misty solstice]

that h4 br was ugly tho

[candid solar]

Nah

[misty solstice]

but mad op

[fossil skiff]

The shade turret sound was one of those that makes me irrationally annoyed

[candid solar]

I love blocky BR.

It's a shame I have to use the HCS model to achieve even half of the BR85's good looks.

[fickle drift]

its ok

[coarse sedge]

Let us look at the clan corner

[jaunty yoke]

The Warthog turret sound from CE all the way to Halo Reach was taken from a sound library of pre recorded stuff and it's the exact same sound Omega's guns make in Sonic 2006 lol
A lot of sounds from the Bungie era came from sound libraries actually

[mortal falcon]

Be sound wasn’t bad tbh. But what I loved is how the unpopularity of the new for example grunt design in Halo 4,5 ended up leading to 2 or 3 different canon types of grunts

[misty solstice]

doesnt matter, h2 br still is an eargasm

[candid solar]

Not the first time it happened in Halo.

Hell, it's not even the first time it's been that drastic.

[jaunty yoke]

Grunts were cute in Halo 2, in Halo 3 they look like old people

[fossil skiff]

One of these days I’m gonna find a lawnmower picture and fit it with the halo 4 warthog somehow

[fickle drift]

personally think halo 2 had the best sounds and designs in the series

[coarse sedge]

All suck, Six is Goth ran all of their fades

[mortal falcon]

It happened with most of the main species right?

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 4 Jackals look the best

[fickle drift]

nuh uh

[coarse sedge]

Reach Elites look the best

[mortal falcon]

They look cute in halo 1 and infinite ngl maybe a tad bit in halo 5

[fickle drift]

true

[jaunty yoke]

For one they have some muscles

[misty solstice]

h2 is godly in general

[coarse sedge]

But Halo:CE Elites had the best AI

[jaunty yoke]

Counterpoint: Halo 2 Elites

[fickle drift]

ce elites are terrifying

[candid solar]

Brutes got hit with it about 3 times, Elites got hit with it about 3 times, Grunts got hit with it 2 times. Marines technically got hit with it every single game, but I feel like I'm cheating if I mention them.

Pre-343.

[coarse sedge]

We know

[misty solstice]

h2 elite design w hce elite ai would be god tier

[candid solar]

You must have a really watered down definition of terrifying.

[fickle drift]

10 year old me watching as the gold elite with an energy sword charges down a hall at me

[fickle drift]

well terrifying in terms of halo

[fossil skiff]

[mortal falcon]

Halo 2 original or remake?

[fickle drift]

i dont literally like piss myself or something

[candid solar]

How did you manage to water down actual water?

[jaunty yoke]

Elites in Halo 1 and 2 were cool and unique because they were not too bulky but they were really tall, much taller than humans, specially noticeable when the stretched and you saw the crocodile snake figure
But in Halo 3, then specially in Reach, 4 and 5, Elites started looking shorter, and worse, fat, bulky af

[jaunty yoke]

Original

[fossil skiff]

Which game has the best hunters though?

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 5

[candid solar]

Infinite's honestly just peak Elite design. I don't actually mind the 4/5 designs though, because they actually kinda went away from the bulky Reach designs and stiff 3 designs in a few ways.

[mortal falcon]

Honestly I liked their appearance. And it is cool to see how the halo infinite ones similarly resemble them in their remake design.

[fickle drift]

probably 5

[misty solstice]

h2 elite designs were so menacing, too bad the ai wasnt as aggressive as it was in hce

[jaunty yoke]

Hunters in any other Halo game are a kids game
Halo 5 Hunters are straight up Dark Souls

[mortal falcon]

The halo 2 originals really laid the law down for how elites should look. Now given if there are other variations across their worlds.

[fickle drift]

FOR REAL

[candid solar]

The sound of an enraged Hunter double firing its 'needler' is seared into my brain for 'get into cover now' sounds.

[fickle drift]

in all the other games you absolutey cheese hunters

[misty solstice]

h5 hunters are so cancerous

[mortal falcon]

Halo 5’s hunters scarred me about all hunters have that terror and sprinting every where grabbing any gun after I run out

[fickle drift]

i mean ce isnt even a question lmao

actual 1 tap from magnum

[fossil skiff]

I watched a elder hunter hit me with that textbook physics 1 arc shot to blow up my phaeton on firefight earlier.

I agree with 5

[fickle drift]

halo 2 was relatively easy iirc

for hunters ^^

[misty solstice]

bro those firefight bosses were so annoying to deal w in h5

[mortal falcon]

The elder hunters were so ghetto 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[fossil skiff]

The way they appear in 5’s campaign is pretty cool too

[jaunty yoke]

For all the faults in the story Halo 5 sure does make up a lot in the campaign gameplay
Hunters for example are presented in the second mission and it's like a horror game, first hearing them on a dark corridor and sensing how their punches made everything shake, then one of them breaking a bridge, then finally seeing them on the ground and slowly get up as the worms started joining the armor

[mortal falcon]

The only in H5 firefight I can think of at the moment is they should have made a lobby where we fight covies only

[misty solstice]

bro the final boss where its 4-5 hunters camping in the back of the map was so annoying

literally never could finish matches because of that

[candid solar]

Or the fact they both straight up hunt you and if you managed to dodge them and escape the first time, they find you again at the end of the level.

[mortal falcon]

The part that was in a snowy area right?

[fossil skiff]

And it’s an achievement!

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 5 had 2 godlike additions:
-Pressing a button to change seats on a vehicle
-Have Hunters be encountered laying on the ground and getting up as worms started coming together

[candid solar]

Which means the end of the level brawl has four Hunters who hate you.

[misty solstice]

uhh i think its multiple maps in firefight

[mortal falcon]

Yeah they were actually scary to fight. Especially the fact that you know you need to run and hide nonstop.

[candid solar]

Whew. That seat switching one has led to some takes that were just scalding.

Like how it allegedly made old vehicle combat more 'engaging' somehow.

[mortal falcon]

Oh yeah your right sorry I was thinking about a similar part in the last level in the campaign

[candid solar]

Like, what?

[fickle drift]

seat hopping is a good feature

[timber charm]

3 wardens on sanctum 😩

[misty solstice]

bro that is just as bad

[candid solar]

I honestly liked fighting Warden on Legendary tbh.

[timber charm]

i cried seeing that boss iteration

[candid solar]

That triple Warden fight on The Breaking was fun.

[misty solstice]

or the 4 op knights

[mortal falcon]

Facts

[timber charm]

its pain on WZlegendary FF

[candid solar]

Campaign, not WZFF

[misty solstice]

nah that fight is easy, theres a speedrun tactic u can use to skip the whole fight

[timber charm]

that map had that but also ez wraith wave

[mortal falcon]

I would just get those special Created ugh I forget the name of it and just blast and blast them till they died

[candid solar]

The fight I'm talking about is near the end of The Breaking where you fight a trio of them on foot and turrets spawn to knock you off your game and keep you moving.

[timber charm]

ya i spedrun that campaign level

[candid solar]

Sorry, I'm not a coward.

[timber charm]

im like nahhh

lemme h5 movement outa here

[candid solar]

I fought through the entire campaign the hard way. Loved it on Legendary.

[misty solstice]

nah bro, im not tryin to fight them on legendary

[candid solar]

And that is why noone will remember your name.

[misty solstice]

😔

[timber charm]

i mean its not a glitch, jus using h5 groundpnd

[mortal falcon]

Add me on Xbox y’all I’d you want I’ll be back on here later

[candid solar]

I need to go back and LASO 5 one of these days.

SLASO, sorry.

[timber charm]

SLASO'd all MCC

actual pain and suffering

[candid solar]

The only thing that sends me into conniptions is the damn blind skull.

Everything else I can deal with, but blind just infuriates me.

[timber charm]

same also foreign

[candid solar]

I can vibe with foreign tbh

Half the power weapons are human anyways

[fickle drift]

my condolences

[candid solar]

I can see it being hell in Halo 4 though.

[timber charm]

ya

[candid solar]

Halo 4's campaign in the latter levels is so reliant on making you swap to different kit and mixing it up, so locking you to that in 4 is just... Oh boy.

Though I don't think it's forced on in the actual playlist.

[timber charm]

i think tbh halo2 slaso is hard of course

but ce was surprising difficult too

[misty solstice]

mad respect 💯

[timber charm]

brother the high charity lvl almost broke me

i didnt throw my controller but i squeezed

so angrily on the grips

[misty solstice]

u mean gravemind of actual high charity?

also did u use any speedrun strats?

[timber charm]

ya that council chamber room

gotta time despawns just right

remember covie rate of fire is boosted

i despawned, nade jumpd, button elevator skipd

[misty solstice]

gravemind is the only reason i wont do h2 laso

everything else i can go through, its just that damn mission

[fossil skiff]

I imagine the prison skip would make that significantly less…taxing

[timber charm]

my blood pressure fr spikedd

that said the pure joy of completion

the r e l i e f

[misty solstice]

i value my sanity over playing laso gravemind

but cairo station is cancerous too

[timber charm]

oh fr ya i was shocked by that

i prep'd mentally for gravemind

[fossil skiff]

Watching Jervalin do all that live was something amazing to say the least

[timber charm]

GOAT

[fossil skiff]

And then that person who was blowing him up with invites during the HC skip…

[misty solstice]

that was beyond legendary

[haughty wraith]

Just got the most perfect game of my life

[timber charm]

nice

deathless?

[haughty wraith]

We won, i got top of the leaderboard, all of my challenges complete, and finally some good teammates

[haughty wraith]

Almost tbh

Like, a 28/5 KD

[timber charm]

def an amazing feeling

[haughty wraith]

Yeah

[timber charm]

especially when ur teammates are in flow

[misty solstice]

that moment when ur teammates arent bots

[timber charm]

that kinda seamless target to target

in infinite i usually get bots,

once i went 28-0 and still almost lost slayer

(which goes to 50)

[misty solstice]

🅱️ruh

[timber charm]

teammates were day1s i dont hate

but like fr i had to carryyyyy

[fossil skiff]

It be like that sometimes

[haughty wraith]

1 good match followed up by a seemingly bad

[fossil skiff]

I was upset over someone in my swat match going 3-20 but the poor dude had 5 games in Infinite at that time

I could not be mad at him

[timber charm]

ya fr same i check now

im like ya, thats expected lol

but brother, theres some at 4000+ games

[fossil skiff]

Still get annoyed at times but it’s whatever ig. Move on and hope they get better too

[timber charm]

and still day1 awful, i dont know how

like it blows my mind

[misty solstice]

how tf do u have 4000+ matches?

[timber charm]

thats more than double mine

[fickle drift]

4000+??????????????

[timber charm]

and im like, how u still day1

[misty solstice]

i bearly have 1.2

[fickle drift]

[fossil skiff]

“Mom said it was my turn on the Xbox”
little brother hops into ranked and drops you down from onyx to platinum

[timber charm]

ikr, usually full whaled out in cosmetics too

[misty solstice]

and ive been playin since beta

[fossil skiff]

I have ~3.2k

[timber charm]

but see sol, u've evolved past day1 play

these dudes, they still in tech beta

[fossil skiff]

My stats today would say otherwise

I mainly play mouse and key so if I ever pick up a controller in infinite I lose all ability to aim…

[haughty wraith]

Yea, that game sucked, bad . .

[tight remnant]

I have over eight thousand matches

[timber charm]

mcc?

[haughty wraith]

No

[misty solstice]

i wont lie ill have a match here and there were i go full bot mode

one time had a match i was 30-5 and the next went 1-20

[fossil skiff]

Happens to the best of us haha

[haughty wraith]

Quick play superiority

[coarse sedge]

Question

[timber charm]

see the game will be impressed

and assign u the carry role

[coarse sedge]

What is yalls favorite monster?

[timber charm]

and if u dont carry ur team suffers pain

[haughty wraith]

No wonder i get 1st or 2nd place

[misty solstice]

[timber charm]

ultra blue for me

[misty solstice]

not in terms of kills but in terms of objective

[coarse sedge]

Mine is either Ultra Rosà or white boomer juice

[misty solstice]

i swear people play ctf and stronghold like its a slayer match

[timber charm]

i need armor reward to grind onyx again

too stressful tbh

even just a coating

[coarse sedge]

White Pineapple is good also

[haughty wraith]

Pipeline punch

[misty solstice]

have any of yall ever played any of the 343 devs on a random pub match?

[haughty wraith]

No

Theyre all gone

[misty solstice]

ive played uny twice and some other one on fiesta matches

[fossil skiff]

Will never forget some dude on Reddit saying the devs were bad and didnt realize he was playing against bots

[misty solstice]

😂😂😂😂

[fossil skiff]

Like 343 Meowlnir, etc

[candid solar]

Honestly about the average intelligence I expect out of r/Halo redditors.

[dusty peak]

Is it me or is there lot of players not able to load into any multiplayer, skirimsh matches or campaign in Halo wars 2 at all?

[cedar turret]

They already did

Two of them

[candid solar]

And they were objectively the best Halo games

Anyone who disagrees is terminally skill issued

[dusty peak]

halo spartan assualt and Spartan strike I believe

[calm fiber]

Please do not tag Admins or Moderators unless immediate action is needed. If you see anything that does not abide by our rules and guidelines, please tag a Moderator to bring it to their attention.

[cedar turret]

Those are shooters

[dusty peak]

Well that is the halo games on phone tough luck if you don't believe it

[candid solar]

It's also on Steam.

It's honestly better on MKB.

[haughty wraith]

Spartan runner

Spaetan firefight

[cedar turret]

They’re third person shooters. Isometric angles. I’m not sure what you think an rpg is, but that isn’t one

[candid solar]

Well, the proper term is "Twin Stick Shooter", Dozen.

... Though they aren't actually that.

[cedar turret]

You throw sticks. You don’t shoot them

[candid solar]

No, you pretend sticks are swords

And hit things with em

[dusty peak]

The console versions also feature an exclusive cooperative horde mode. After years of rumored or cancelled handheld Halo projects, Spartan Assault was the franchise's first mobile game.

[candid solar]

Halo DS

[cedar turret]

And no. Top down or third person shooters have been a thing since well before I was around

[haughty wraith]

How do i fix my prefab system

It doesnt let me move them around

[plucky void]

I can not find a match in halo infinity

It take to long

[jaunty yoke]

Wait longer

[earnest fjord]

What region are you in?

[jaunty yoke]

Infinity is a ship btw, the game is Infinite

[plucky void]

Is this only way

[jaunty yoke]

What region you on?

[plucky void]

Asia

[jaunty yoke]

That explains it
I'm sorry

Your only option is either switching servers or party up with a person from another place in the world

[earnest fjord]

I’ve gotten matches today and I’m in Australia

Which would be less populated I imagine

[jaunty yoke]

You know how popular shooters are in Asia?
I'll tell you
They aren't

[plucky void]

Which region is best for my problem

[jaunty yoke]

North America

[plucky void]

Hmm got it

[earnest fjord]

You’ll just have lag

[plucky void]

Lag is better than nothing

[mystic harbor]

I like halo 5 better than Halo infinite 😔

[jaunty yoke]

It's a better game in a lot of areas

[analog arrow]

is aim assist still enabled for mouse in Infinite?

i remember them turning that on last year, curious if it was still the case

[novel tangle]

i just reinstalled the game this week to get back into warzone, been having fun so far

[mystic harbor]

YESSS

[novel tangle]

that game still feels like a console game in a goodway

[mystic harbor]

Maybe I can matchmake with you since theres barely any players

[mystic harbor]

I love console games

[novel tangle]

they say warzone is pretty populated on weekends, and firefight is up all the time,

for arena, i heard ranked slayer is all what people play nowadays

and 2v2

[novel tangle]

yeah, you might find me on, im level 144 with a blue hunter banner, bout to be 145

[mystic harbor]

WOW

I'm level 138

[novel tangle]

yeah, im not gonna bother with 152, specially if its literally going to take 7x the amount of playtime i already have to reach it

[rare cedar]

You’re half way to 152 when you hit 151

Not joking

🙂

[novel tangle]

yeah maybe 2 years if i try to grind it out as hard as possible prob

[pliant hatch]

lol, not even worth it anymore.

[plucky void]

Oh, sorry

Apologize again the right way. Say “Sorry lukepowa, I won’t do it again”

Time to power through my RSI and try and kill 5 people

Very cool to see this

[cedar turret]

They need to do a rewards for not having enough time to play

[quiet edge]

Is it me or is the match making on infinite dwindling down?

[lament finch]

Heard that catalyst just re-added to ranked with the wrong weapon spawns for the second time. Anyone played it yet?

[obsidian wyvern]

not yet

[winter flame]

i think i'll just wait

[amber mirage]

I'm fairly certain you can't play Catalyst right now because it was removed again to fix that issue.

[lapis snow]

big team social is the best addition to halo infinite

ever

[obsidian wyvern]

I wanna play the new doubles map

haven't got it yet though

Hmn. I wonder if Sam and Uny watched the GDC vid on Game community managers.

This is a fascinating listen.

If you don't mind playing with a Diamond 1, I'm down

[worthy ether]

hey

[steady jolt]

@fickle dagger no self promotion here please, especially for non Halo content

[fickle dagger]

alr sorry mate

[undone stone]

I know I talked about this before, but what if Halo Infinite was added to MCC rotations? The reason is for an increase in the player base.

[amber mirage]

You've been responded to before about the technical limitations that would need to be overcome somehow to allow that.

And that the assumption that it would increase the player base doesn't exactly hold up.

[undone stone]

I think it would increase player count, especially if it means no longer swapping games.

[cedar turret]

I think that if we replace all the spartan models with sushi rolls it'll increase the player count.

[amber mirage]

Sure. It would combine the player counts of the two games. Doesn't really account for all the work needed to make that possible, if it even is possible to accomplish on a technical level.

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm almost plat 6 so it should be decently balanced, but when we played regular doubles those guys were way above my skill level

[steady jolt]

From a technical standpoint at this time, adding Infinite to MCC is an impossibility

[cedar turret]

There is as much evidence to say mine will work as yours and it makes more sense too.

[amber mirage]

They were above mine too. Since we're just one rank apart, hopefully Ranked gives us tighter matches.

[slim zealot]

They took out catalyst because of that

somehow taking them forever to fix the problem

[fickle drift]

Sad that Halo is dead

I only wish 343 could've tried harder

They had so much potential.

[steady jolt]

Not dead

[pure fractal]

gentlemen, i have succesfully beat Halo 2 on legendary.

[cedar turret]

Congrats

Now do it on laso w/o skips

[pure fractal]

😭

no

[cedar turret]

A reasonable response. If it helps 3 is a lot easier

[pure fractal]

i actually want to do all the games on legendary, ive already done CE and Reach before

[true ibex]

only thing thats dead is your common sense

[pure fractal]

fr

[round laurel]

Common sense would tell you not to respond to bait lol.

[true ibex]

didnt ask

[round laurel]

Ohhhhhhhh

[true ibex]

thats the crazy part

[round laurel]

🙂

[lapis snow]

can we hope for the inclusion of Mantis mech to the infinite`s sandbox?

[candid solar]

Nope

Mantises cannot hope

Until you step inside

[lapis snow]

?

I was talking about me hoping

[candid solar]

k

[lapis snow]

so is it possible or we will never see them added to the game ?

[fickle drift]

We don't know any better than you, tbf

If you look at the track record of Sandbox additions so far, I'd say 'unlikely'

[lapis snow]

idk, maybe it was stated by 343 before , like "we are boring guys, and will never again add giants robots to this game", or smth like that

[fickle drift]

k

[normal owl]

You know what though: I would think about changing my name to Halo for lifetime free Halo games & credits.

I'm excited that the Community episode has finally come true in our lifetime.

[valid ruin]

Tbf Bethesda gave some big prizes to someone who named their kid Dovahkiin back in 2011

[winter flame]

hmm i might try naming my first child "Master Chief"

[steady jolt]

Change your name to Subway
Update all official documentation
Get Subway for life
Subway enters administration 2 weeks later
Goes bust

[normal owl]

literally wheeze-laughed aloud

A big problem for me is that I would have to physically go to Subway to get the benefit. If it was Halo credit that just shows up in my account, that'd be better.

[cedar turret]

Nothing like 5 to 50 grand and a life time of teasing for a six inch sub with mediocre cold cuts once a week for the next twenty years

[normal owl]

Eat Fresh?

[cedar turret]

I’ll buy you a twenty dollar infinite points card if you legally change your name to blastoise

Documentation required

[normal owl]

That would create a lot of tempting marketing themes for my legal practice.

[cedar turret]

[normal owl]

Gotta sue em all

[amber mirage]

Blawstoise

[normal owl]

NICE

Yes, that would avoid skirting too close to IP issues. Need to also change the shell and skin colors and have the cannons blast out...judge gavels?

[hearty flame]

Blast out legal script

The constitution, even

[lament finch]

Oh I know that. I'm talking about the re-re add: https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveHalo/comments/15g7u2s/catalyst_is_backwith_hammersword_still/

[slim zealot]

😂 that's wild

Haven't played infinite in like 5 months cuz of servers so i wouldn't know

[subtle crow]

@upbeat marsh did that plan ever work for you to play on the pc?

[upbeat marsh]

I sucked hahahha

[subtle crow]

Lol

You'll get better

[upbeat marsh]

@subtle crow yeah it just made me more excited to get my pc!

[fickle drift]

Hello everyone I have returned 🌚

[subtle crow]

Trust me. Ater a month of playing halo infinite on the pc, you will DOMINATE those battles that make you struggle on xbox

Sup

[fickle drift]

On my way to the airport 🌞

[subtle crow]

Have a safe flight. I know you have no control over anything, but have fun

Hi stckr

[steady jolt]

Hello

[fickle drift]

Haha thanks 🌞

[upbeat marsh]

@subtle crow I hope so. His halo isn’t working at the moment every time he try’s to load it it sapzes out. He’s uninstalling and reinstalled it multiple times so just hoping it’s a bug on steam . Or what ever is making it do that.

[fickle drift]

Steam Halo is awful

Get the Xbox app version

Works a lot better in my experience

Steam Halo ruined 200+ hours of forging for me 💀

[subtle crow]

@upbeat marsh like as soon as it loads up it closes?

[upbeat marsh]

No it just starts messing with the picture. Like it’s glitching then it stops running it.

[subtle crow]

Maybe it is an issue with the computer's processor or something. Something similar happened to my dad's computer and he had to adjust the processing level

[upbeat marsh]

I will mention it but Halo is the only game doing it. And it’s a brand new PC. But I’ll mention that to him and he can check it out.

[subtle crow]

@upbeat marsh Well, you know you can get a Harvard degree on youtube? Meaning you can do anything you want just by watching a couple videos. Try troubleshooting the problem first if you can

No need to worry him if it is a simple fix

[fickle drift]

YouTube is good. But has a lot of nonsense on there too.

[subtle crow]

It is better than tictok

[fickle drift]

Tiktok 💀

[forest lagoon]

Gotta look up multiple sources and compare to get a good tutorial

[fickle drift]

^ Exactly

[hearty flame]

??

[subtle crow]

True. Dont be lazy like Steven and play the game all the time. You have to start a business with one foot and do your researcg

[hearty flame]

I don't think Steam's version of Halo Infinite has had significant problems compared to the Windows Store/Gamepass version

[fickle drift]

Steam Infinite was suuuuper buggy for me. Then I switched to the Microsoft Xbox App version and it runs a lot better now.

[hearty flame]

For you

[fickle drift]

Yes. That's what I said..

[forest lagoon]

YouTube + reddit comments comparing has helped me out with so many things. Before doing a project I'm unfamiliar with but confident I can figure it out, I now dedicate the first day to basically scrubbing YouTube + Reddit with notes and save links for reference

[subtle crow]

That is a good idea. My dad will do the same if he is unfamiliar with the thing he is doing

Hey skifi, if you went to college, what would your degree be in?

[amber mirage]

Fahrenheit

[subtle crow]

?

[amber mirage]

It was a bad joke

[subtle crow]

Calculus

[forest lagoon]

What a complicated question.
My degree is in I.T. Networking (software focused) but I have certification/diploma for graphic design

[round laurel]

Interesting, I'll make sure to watch a few videos on surgery before operating on my first patient.

[fickle drift]

Niiiiice

[subtle crow]

I want to become an engineer

[fickle drift]

I'm studying a degree in Business me.

[subtle crow]

@fickle drift so, doctor or lawyer?

[slim zealot]

Nah he said business bro 😂

[fickle drift]

Noooo, Business Administration lol

[subtle crow]

Steven he says that those are the only two jobs that an Asian parent wants their kid to become

[slim zealot]

I'm asian and i can confirm

Doctor or engineer

[subtle crow]

Do you watch steven he?

[round laurel]

Not always a good idea to listen to your parents.

[slim zealot]

Sometimes he pops up in my feed

[brave helm]

anybody have the 3rd person odst firefight mode on their fileshare?

[fickle drift]

My flatmate from India told me his parents were proper pressuring him to become a doctor or engineer. He decided to study archeology instead 😂💀

Learn a trade, you'll make just as much money in today's market with less schooling.

[subtle crow]

Would you say it is offensive if I did an asain accent for fun?

[fickle drift]

Probably.

[slim zealot]

I do it all the time, idc

[subtle crow]

I just found my asain pass to the asain accent

[forest lagoon]

Then I was a wedding photographer until I had a some health issues that got in the way of that. So for covid I re-honed my drawing skills and now do commissions and working on concept work for a game being developed along with being on the Player Council for skate.

But I also have experience in machining, drapery, sewing, and woodworking.

Do everything you can. Try everything you can try and learn!
You never know when certain skills will come in handy and cross over into other forms of work. I've been surprised at the cross over my skills have helped out on multiple instances

[round laurel]

No, but someone would probably get offended.

[slim zealot]

That's like my parents but I'm studying physical therapy on a basketball scholarship 😂

[brave helm]

i assume thats a no?

[fickle drift]

That's a negative Spartan, stand down.

[brave helm]

;-;

[subtle crow]

@round laurel I just do it for fun. Not to make fun, but to make people laygh

[brave helm]

i just wanna find it and try it with my partners

[round laurel]

You must be quite young.

[subtle crow]

Thank you mando
