anyone know what happened to "tossin a nade" voice line? I really miss it

[opaque totem]

[tired wraith]

Who said it

Chief?

[smoky token]

iirc they got rid of a bunch of voice lines

[hasty zinc]

yeah it was just spartan chatter IIRC

[fickle drift]

Halo 4 Is it an incomplete game or very bad?

[elfin glacier]

did you mean: halo 2

in which case it's both

[tawdry lintel]

halo 4 mp is good single player eh

[final rose]

In Halo MCC players shouldn't be able to choose which games they want to play. Because when I search only for Halo 4, I never find a match and that's because the players only search for Halo 2 and Halo 3. Sometimes Halo Reach or Halo 2 Anniverssary, but almost never Halo Combat Evolved or Halo 4.

[safe dawn]

excuse me?

[final rose]

It should be: "choose slayer or objective" "4vs4 or big team"

[safe dawn]

halo 4 aint THAT hard to find a match in...

[elfin glacier]

as much as i wish more people played (insert game) that's a horrid take

[fickle drift]

True

[safe dawn]

# Concern #

[fluid compass]

Same here I think it’ll catch up to them

[clear junco]

Ok ok hear me out when I say this. If you ever do another play through of Halo Infinite campaign (one of the best btw) during the 1st mission when you blow up the ship. When the explosions start and you have to run through the ship play the free bird guitar solo. You will not regret it

[forest relic]

Ok I’ll try that

[clear junco]

Honestly I do it everytime it’s brilliant

[fickle drift]

Can 343 industries please fix the shotgun its hella goofy how far it shoots

[forest relic]

Sounds like a skill issue ngl

[clear junco]

I mean, it’s better than in other halo games where it had the range of a punch

It’s almost like it’s designed how shotguns act in real life 💀💀💀

[fickle drift]

Dude it's shoot too far this aint fortnite

[clear junco]

Shotguns have almost a 30m range in real life wdym?

[forest relic]

I mean that’s the type of shotgun they were going for because all the Fortnite kids would rage if they tried to use the normal shotgun

‘wiDEr aUdiENCe’

[molten pelican]

DE BRUYNE OUT FOR 4 MONTHS?!

[fickle drift]

Why do you wanna add realism to a franchise with super soldiers and aliens

[clear junco]

It doesn’t 1 shot so no realism

Plus skill issue tbh

[molten pelican]

✨ weapon balancing✨

[molten pelican]

no. i mean yes! absolutely

[fickle drift]

Bro anit no skill issue every time i use it, it's too overpowered and i hate it bruh

How can they 'fix' the shotgun if it isn't in the game

What you're referring to is the Bulldog and its working as intended

[shut nymph]

they should add halo wars mega bloks to infinite

as in you can play with them while you play infinite

[molten pelican]

is there a skill issue sticker

alas there is not

[fickle drift]

Ok ok but can they at least change how i get chasm and cliffhanger in team slayer over and over

90% i always get those 2

[shut nymph]

map veto

[muted rose]

Wtf

[fluid compass]

I KNOW I KNOWSW

[molten pelican]

I JUST SAW IT

😭 aint no WAY

[fluid compass]

HUGE

[muted rose]

Spork slander over here

[fluid compass]

Nuh uh

[shut nymph]

what an era, remember when your lobbies coudl actually veto maps if you guys didnt want to play them

[molten pelican]

no such thing

[burnt herald]

I was defending spork

[fickle drift]

So that's not gonna happen because people have conflated Veto with Voting and shunned it by association

[molten pelican]

now im confused

[muted rose]

Idk

[molten pelican]

oh shoot

[fluid compass]

Ok, so l-let's say, hypothetically, for the sake of the argument, that, perhaps, I, Ben, were to ask you, Stacy, to the prom, right now. Now let me ask you, in that situation, would it not be in your best interest to say yes? I mean the answer is obvious, right? Now let's suppose, that in fact, I was doing so right now, in this room. Now, hypothetically, what would your response be?

[fickle drift]

Wow

[molten pelican]

yes

[muted rose]

All I saw was Profanity spork because he sucks

[fluid compass]

Let’s gooo

[fickle drift]

😂

[molten pelican]

anyways

[fickle drift]

I just want a good game dude

[shut nymph]

they never really seemed all that different tbh, you'd either vote for the map you wanted or veto'd the ones you didn't want to play. I could have sworn the game only let you veto/vote back in the day when you played atleast on one map the game itself force chose no?

honestly i cant remember how the system went

did it let you veto one and the other two were rng picks?

[molten pelican]

yeah bro but prom is like next year

[fickle drift]

Bro remember that time we had a debate on what sporks can do

They're pretty distinct

Veto is just a re-roll in the map / gametype weighting system, an 'oh god not this' button that a majority of the lobby needs to opt into
Voting on the other hand is 'here's three visible options and a reroll' which any one player can influence, and frequenlty ends up in the same thing getting played over and over.

[molten pelican]

which was anything and everything 10x more efficiently than humanity combined

[jaunty yoke]

Remember when you could vote for the next map on MCC matches?
Much better than the current system fr

[molten pelican]

@fluid compass whats your top songs for utopia

[fickle drift]

Best of the best

[fickle drift]

Oh aye I loved playing nothing but H3 Longshore and Avalanche non-stop /s

[molten pelican]

of course

[shut nymph]

how did map voting work in halo 3

i cant remember

[jaunty yoke]

Veto

[fickle drift]

You have a GT

[molten pelican]

map voting usually ends up with ppl picking the same 3 favorite maps

[shut nymph]

how did it work though i guess i got it right the first time with veto

[jaunty yoke]

Halo CE LAN matches had a button to delay the start of the match, any player could press it and ruin the fun for everyone lol
Why did the developers ever add that

[fickle drift]

#general-chat message

[shut nymph]

was there anything wrong with that? its not like you wouldn't eventually play on other maps. There were enough players so that the variety stuck

[jaunty yoke]

Yes there was something wrong with playing on Guardian 5 times in a row

[fickle drift]

Ok they can leave the bulldog the way it is

[molten pelican]

well yes bc thats subjective to everyone, could use more rotation, now im not exactly talking in terms of halo but in general

[shut nymph]

doesn't really sound like the people were a problem it sounds more like the design was flawed if it kept presenting guardian after every match instead of 3 new maps

[fickle drift]

No see, if Guardian didn't come up, then people would dogpile 'none of the above' until it did come up

[jaunty yoke]

Exactly

[molten pelican]

yes more maps could be presented to vote on

[molten pelican]

oh thats a thing

[shut nymph]

then they could have kept veto they should have removed none of above and made the system choose 3 maps that you hadn't played let alone the one you just played on to keep it fresh and keep it more variety

just completely gutting it and forcing a map by automation has been a catastrophe since the game will iterally choose the same map over and over if you're unlucky

[jaunty yoke]

Variety was a bit complicated in the first year because Halo 3 launched with only 11 maps and had to wait over a year to start getting new ones... which you had to pay for

[fickle drift]

Yeah I mean I'd prefer Veto tbh
But like I say it isn't happening because people have it associated with Voting and don't make the distinction

[shut nymph]

i could have sworn getting launch site 3 times a row has been a problem in infinite so its not like the alternative map picker has been any better

[molten pelican]

battlebit.

[shut nymph]

like having veto would also only work if you could stay opt in to stay in lobbies

[fickle drift]

It's pre-game so not really

[shut nymph]

yeah but hypethetically what if you got the same map you just played because the lobby broke up and you moved to a new lobby

[jaunty yoke]

GOTY candidates this year:
-Zelda TOTK
-Baldur's Gate 3
-Starfield (maybe)
-Resident Evil 4 Remake
-Spiderman 2 (maybe)
Which one is winning?

[fickle drift]

Then you have the 'not this' button which is better than the current system without enabling folk to just pick the same thing all the time.

[molten pelican]

battlebit is winning no questions.

[shut nymph]

no you wouldn't need not this option if the game just shuffles maps correctly and has a stay in lobby feature. the chances of you playing on the same map would diminish compared to not having the option to stay in your lobby

[fickle drift]

I mean I'm with you on bringing continuous matchmaking back sure

[jaunty yoke]

I wish there was an option to play any completely random match without any specific playlist for when you can't decide on what you want to play

[shut nymph]

its prob never going to happen sadly, now that hidden mmr in shooters is popular among devs they would have to do away with that particular thing just to let the game shuffle post game lobbies

[fickle drift]

A match composer would also have been fantastic but it's basically a pipe dream at this point

[sage idol]

is master chief collection ever getting another new season

[unkempt bolt]

why does 343 think 1000 credits is a reasonable price for a single hcs team shoulder effect

[earnest umbra]

its 3000 to get one teams skins from the shop 💀

[unkempt bolt]

those armor effects are ugly too

[fleet kettle]

Depends on what your fit looks like

[unkempt bolt]

it won't fit anything unless your plan is to be a walking billboard for a team

[bleak sable]

$30 for a Skin set smh 343 is trash

[fleet kettle]

Yeah true but then again the skins are pretty bright to begin with

I only paid for the game that’s it I ain’t spending more on it

[bleak sable]

Wish Bungie was never bought from Microsoft… They did such a better job with Halo than 343 has honestly

[fleet kettle]

I earn all my stuff 😂

[unkempt bolt]

Most of the skins actually are decent tho unlike the shoulder things

[fleet kettle]

Actually tho

[earnest umbra]

bet they will end up doing some sort of team bundle in the future

[bleak sable]

343 just here for the micro transactions… Player base is honestly shrinking because of it.

[fleet kettle]

You will be missed greatly Bungie 😞

[unkempt bolt]

as if bungie isn't doing the same with 4 dlcs and cosmetic shops a year

[bleak sable]

SBMM is a big problem as well… The matchmaking system is worse than CoD honestly

[fleet kettle]

Isn’t that why they added ranks or is that not used

[earnest umbra]

to be fair the matchmaking system pretty much sucks in every game with ranked not just Halo

[bleak sable]

Ranked has SBMM but so does regular multiplayer. Either your team is stacked and you dominate the other team or you get a team of bots that have never played and you get dominated it’s rarely a close match

[earnest umbra]

in social its always 2 or 3 players on each team that are fragging out

[bleak sable]

Yeah every game with SBMM sucks because it should be solely connection based and random makes every match unique and different

[unkempt bolt]

in my experience most social games are very close

[open stratus]

Char
You donate 1 kidney and you are suddenly a hero
Donate 10 and you are suddenly under investigation

[unkempt bolt]

except for fiesta and btb

[earnest umbra]

imagine griffball ranked 💀

[unkempt bolt]

and I don't mean close in a good way tho, usually one person on each team fragging, other 3 even or goosing

[earnest umbra]

yea in 4v4 its one maybe two players on each team fragging

in BTB its about 4 on each team

[bleak sable]

For me when I play quick play I’m dominating while my teammates are all double negative and we lose or my entire team dominates the other team lol

[unkempt bolt]

One time I played quick play slayer had 32 kills and we lost

[earnest umbra]

i dont really mind in social too much to be honest

[bleak sable]

It’s like when you do well the game puts trash players on your team and expects you to carry them

@unkempt bolt Exactly! Same here!!!

[unkempt bolt]

the match where i got my btb kill record of like 70 kills my team also lost

[earnest umbra]

ive had teammates go 1 - 15 and i lose a lot but i dont mind it cus its not ranked

[bleak sable]

Yeah and for me in ranked my teammates rage quit 9/10 and then it becomes 2 v 4

[unkempt bolt]

Even for ranked I seem to always be put on the losing side

[earnest umbra]

maybe your KD is too high 🤣

[unkempt bolt]

Its not even my fault, last 10 matches I played I was top of team postive kd and most objective time

[bleak sable]

Yep same!

[unkempt bolt]

My season 3 ranked win rate was 27% and its probably the only reason I'm still stuck in diamond hell

[bleak sable]

After I hit platinum I just gave up on ranked because I constantly would get teammates who would quit mid match

[unkempt bolt]

I stopped playing this season cuz I had unstable internet but someday I gotta suck it up cuz i want the onyx emblem

[bleak sable]

Now I just dominate in quick play and BTB and do crazy stuff lol

[earnest umbra]

i dont care too much for emblems

[unkempt bolt]

And since high diamond players are "good" by most standards you would expect me to have a good win rate in social

most other people similar rank to me have 60% rates even plat or gold players have like 50%+ in social

I swear the matchmaker hates me cuz my social win rate is 44%

[bold sparrow]

Current Destiny Eververse dumpster fire

[bleak sable]

I know this is a Halo group but I’m ready for Xdefiant to drop mainly because it doesn’t have SBMM

[bold sparrow]

Don't hold your breath, it doesn't have stable net security either, like basically every COD game

[bleak sable]

Screw it I’ll roll the dice 😂

[earnest umbra]

i tried the Xdefiant beta it was alright

[smoky token]

le funny number company

[bleak sable]

It’s was great I loved the beta

[earnest umbra]

The medics seemed super OP in that game. I assume they are going to be nerfed on release

[candid solar]

GET OUT OF MY HEAD

[elfin glacier]

nah

man i need to finish pathfinder wotr so i can start baldur's gate 3 while it's still fresh

[echo current]

Hello

[storm summit]

Yo.

[opaque totem]

💗 💗

[brave prairie]

343 give us a PVE mode next season 🙏🏼

[cedar turret]

It launched with one

[brave prairie]

That’s not campaign

[cedar turret]

Bot bootcamp

[brave prairie]

I want firefight

[cedar turret]

That wasn't what you asked for.

[brave prairie]

343 give us firefight next season 🙏🏼

[rich anchor]

Agreed Infinite needs some sort of PVE mode eventually, firefight would fill that niche well

[storm summit]

I want to play as Marvin Mobuto and slaughter flood.

I want a Marvin Mobuto mini game.

[rich anchor]

Let me play as a traffic cone, I can't really feel immersed in infinite, the human form I'm given isn't enough

[indigo bear]

If only old cod was playable

Like seriously if you do something like cheat in old COD game or make Team Fortress 2 spin bots I hope you get stuck in a public restroom with no toilet paper.

[tight remnant]

Bot bootcamp isn't in the game

[indigo bear]

Huh?

[fossil skiff]

It was removed due to career xp exploits for now

[indigo bear]

Firefight would be a cool addition honestly.

[indigo bear]

Wow ok didn’t know that

[fossil skiff]

As long as the red hunters get put on steroids, I want them to make mythic hunters from halo 5 look like child’s play

[indigo bear]

I’ve actually recently played firefight on Halo:Reach for the first time.

[fossil skiff]

What did you think of it?

[indigo bear]

Kinda sad it took me so long to play firefight.

[indigo bear]

Enjoy it, Didn’t really understand a lot of it but I enjoy the hour I played it.

[fossil skiff]

Yeah I didn’t really research it before hopping in, was still pretty fun

ODST has flood firefight now which sounds fun too

[eager mango]

Gn

[rich anchor]

Especially with how fun Infinite's covena- uh I mean BANISHED can be to fight, there's some real MP potential there

[indigo bear]

Yeah Also would bring back a lot of players and keep them engaged.

[fossil skiff]

I can already hear the screams of terror if they make the Chieftain from the Harbinger fight into a boss

That dude was insane

[rich anchor]

Lol, I could see that as a bonus round

[fossil skiff]

Dual wield gravity hammers.

[rich anchor]

Or even beyond that, just porting campaign bosses to this theoretical firefight

(btw sad we have to think of a theoretical firefight nowadays)

[fossil skiff]

Wasn’t forge AI gonna be a thing eventually? Might be possible to code one somehow

[indigo bear]

That’s like OW2 PVE stuff

Plus dual gravity hammers would be hilarious. Imagine the funny ragdoll potential 🤣

[fossil skiff]

It would be like something out of Pokémon

https://tenor.com/view/team-rocket-pokemon-fly-sky-anime-gif-16659565

[indigo bear]

Or GMod

But yeah I agree

[fossil skiff]

I tried GMod with friends a couple times, so much dumb stuff to do lol

One decided he wanted to summon a tornado and nuke it

Needless to say our games crashed

[indigo bear]

I’d say that’s valves best game but they are just a publisher

[fossil skiff]

wonder if anyone’s tried to make TTT in forge yet

[amber iris]

Is there any way to use an item that’s part of a kit without wearing the kit?

[stoic rapids]

Aside from dinh's coating, the season 1 hcs kits, and I think part of thom's and rosetta most of the kit items are obtainable through battle passes and such.

[barren comet]

343 please add map names in the title screen

[amber iris]

But I can’t use Emile’s knife shoulder

It’s so cool looking

I can’t even use the one without the knife that’s not part of his kit

Which is so stupid because then it just exists for NO reason because nobody else uses it I don’t think

[scarlet forge]

LFG Ranked Arena in 10 minutes.

[fickle drift]

hi

[stoic rapids]

It's in the winter update battlepass

Which is entirely free

Go check it out, it's only 30 tiers iirc

It has cqc cqb and mark v helmets as well

@amber iris

[amber iris]

Oh shoot word?

Well that helps thanks

[fickle drift]

hi?

[amber iris]

Never saying word again idk why I did that but yes many thanks

[fickle drift]

i want to report a gitch

[stoic rapids]

Go submit a ticket at halo support's website

[fickle drift]

ok

[amber iris]

Dang there it is yeah

There’s all of noble teams stuff too

[stoic rapids]

Uhuh

[amber iris]

Now I just need a good helmet

And I’ll consider making the swap from rakshasa to mark V

[worthy ether]

the halo community is interesting

[devout musk]

Hello

[fickle drift]

[merry forge]

anyone still play halo wars definitive edition?

[brave prairie]

no

[faint mantle]

[hard mist]

who broke waypoint? getting internal server error

well that's weird....working in chrome on my pixel 7 pro but not working in edge on my windows 10 PC

something's definitely wrong....but what?

works in firefox on the same PC

so there's something not right with edge probably

[steady jolt]

Try incognito mode in Edge and see if it works

If it does, it's probably a corrupt cookie or something. Should be able to clear any Microsoft/Waypoint/Xbox cookies, hard refresh (CTRL + SHIFT + R) and try again

[hard mist]

yeah works in inprivate on edge

[hard mist]

cleared out the cookies and now it works

[ivory coyote]

Putting on the ODST and reaching soundtracks for work today. Guess I'm gonna be crying today

Hey everyone!

I hope you're having a good morning (or afternoon/evening, depending on where you are in the world 😛 )

Does anyone know where I can find some custom game maps and mode recommendations?

[tired wraith]

Bruh cmon I’m on the moon why no respect?? :.(((

[tired wraith]

Today is the best day to play it as it’s raining

At least for me I don’t know about you

[fickle drift]

Well, he said world, not earth🤷‍♂️

[tired wraith]

Oh

[storm summit]

The moon isn't a planet.

He was left out.

This is a catastrophe.

[fickle drift]

No one have ever said that it is lol

[cedar turret]

The moon is in fact a tooth.

[molten pelican]

yes it is bc I said it is so it is now I've decided

[sweet pasture]

so um im making a halo cosplay but i need some help i guess

so i've already finished the helmet

its an odst helmet

should i go full odst

[molten pelican]

you should go full spork

[sweet pasture]

or make a spartan with an odst helmet

or make a sort of kitbash with both pieces of mjolnir and odst armor

[molten pelican]

might look a bit contrasting

[molten pelican]

yeah if you were gonna change it up id go all the way not just helmet

[sweet pasture]

i mean cant you equip the odst helmet in game?

[molten pelican]

I have no idea im a f2p player lol

[forest relic]

Same though probably not for long

[sweet pasture]

true but i havent found the pepakura (templates for the foam) files for the odst armor other than the head

[molten pelican]

then I would go full ODST personally

[molten pelican]

that nice.

[sweet pasture]

but i dont have the files

i only have the odst helmet

but the rest are for mjolnir mk 5

[molten pelican]

well idk any of that im just answering your question which was "should I go full ODST" lol

[forest relic]

I used to not like mk5, but now I do (probably because of red vs blue)

[sweet pasture]

well i kinda wanna tbh

[molten pelican]

then there ya go👍🏻

[sweet pasture]

the files for mk5 are insanely hard (especially the chestplate area)

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm at peace now i have athlon

[fluid compass]

Too many to choose but FE!N, Hyaena and My eyes are some of my fav

dang I thought FE!N had the weakest feature from carti but my eyes is underrated

I also not a fan of carti so im bias there

[steady jolt]

Oof lol

[molten pelican]

9-5 as in .950 right

[rare cedar]

Maybe lol

[pulsar cobalt]

I hope one day 343 expands the customization to legs, separate gloves and knee pads and back slots and chest attachments for knifes and other things

[molten pelican]

spartan with panda dunks

[candid solar]

I want my Spartan to have a flanged mace.

[rare cedar]

Losers want knives, winners embrace Spartans being like Knights.

[molten pelican]

I want my spartan to just go assasins creed style

I mean, if you think about it, attaching a bayonet to the front of an S7 is kinda like a spear.

I actually really hope we get a Sniper Rifle reskin someday that gives it a ghillie wrap.

I know that's like, generic remodel #1 for video game snipers, but still.

I don't think so

the only time we saw an elite in H2 without armor was in the branding scene and the mauseoleum and that background doesn't fit either

idk it looks too good compared to the elite CGI in the show

[fossil skiff]

Been a while since I watched an episode so idek. Trying to think where else I’ve seen elites

Definitely not forward unto Dawn

[pliant hatch]

I asked the person who posted it

[hasty zinc]

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/d0rnxA

Sol was right

@pliant hatch

[pliant hatch]

oh, nice

[hasty zinc]

GG @fossil skiff

[fossil skiff]

oh neat

[plush scroll]

Hi

[last ember]

@signal granite thinks my status message is real and harrassed me in the dms lol

don't know why you told me to stop doing what I am doing when I have done nothing 🙂

[fresh urchin]

💀

[indigo bear]

I’m just gonna say donkey Kong barrel blast as a joke

[indigo bear]

Agreed

[amber mirage]

I was incorrect

[normal owl]

Gremlins!

[pulsar cobalt]

The halo TV show elites looked amazing

[normal owl]

Sadly still awaiting a good P+ deal since I foolishly let my T-mobile perk of 1 free year go too long without claiming it.

But I might just spring for ad-free. All of the major ones except Max have ad-free as half the cost of premium, but man those same ads clobber you over the head over and over and over again.

[fossil skiff]

My experience with Pluto tv in a nutshell, but I won’t complain much because the on demand is amazing

[tribal onyx]

Man I wish there was still Gamepass ultimate halo rewards, especially for the xp boosts

You don't know what you have until it's gone 😂

[hasty zinc]

there is one right now

the hex bulldog

[fossil skiff]

Yee just play for 4 hours I believe

Still think a game pass armor coating would be cool 👀

[steady jolt]

Just a coating that's covered in Game Pass logos

@ sam - do the thing!

[fossil skiff]

I’d still wear it honestly

Gimme an Xbox emblem for the sniper and we’re good to go

[steady jolt]

I'd LOVE to see some Xbox themed stuff - coatings, branding, etc

[fossil skiff]

Series X and S charm when

[hasty zinc]

that would be sick

[fossil skiff]

My Porsche 918 in FH5 had a gamepass uhhh paint job livery. It looked sick

[tribal onyx]

Can't find it anywhere on the perks page?

Sorry for the ping

[dreamy stirrup]

Livery*

[fossil skiff]

Yes that’s it, thank you. Brain no work today

[hasty zinc]

it's not on the perks page it's on the main page

[candid solar]

God

I love the frog prince emblem so much

[forest lagoon]

Ah, that's where it is. I hadn't looked a whole lot but noticed it didn't show up in the perks anymore

[onyx mango]

Anyone have $1.2k I can borrow I am about to make a horrible financial decision

I found a 9 stringer

https://www.guitarcenter.com/Schecter-Guitar-Research/Hellraiser-C-9-Electric-Guitar-Black-Cherry-1396278323745.gc

[hasty zinc]

is venmo ok?

[onyx mango]

I’m being sarcastic

Are you dead 🫏?

[hasty zinc]

no

[onyx mango]

The tuning is C#, F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E.

[tribal onyx]

Oh thanks

[amber mirage]

I can assure you that he's alive ◯

[tribal onyx]

I'm screwed though I've been in Canada for the last 2 weeks and only got a chance to come on today

[hasty zinc]

get your 4 hours in today

I wonder how it tracks playtime

like could you idle it and redeem?

[amber mirage]

With a timer

[hasty zinc]

I set myself up for that

[fossil skiff]

gottem

[amber mirage]

In all seriousness, I would assume it would go the simple route and use the playtime tracker every Xbox game has, so idling would count in that case.

[strange sky]

if anyone wants to play halo infinite duck hunt pls play 😦

[hasty zinc]

#lfg-customs

[slow comet]

I wish this server had a meme channel

[amber mirage]

I don't

I can already picture everyone reposting the same bad memes

[candid solar]

"New Halo bad"
"IVs bad"
"343 bad"
"Overused meme"

Halo fans can't meme tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

this seems bad for an all onyx team, why can't they party up together idk

halo.api (@halodotapi)

343 Industries is working on a longer-term solution leveraging Fireteam search restrictions in Ranked Arena.

• If your CSR is 1500 and above (Onyx), you'll be unable to search with a Fireteam of 3 or 4, and will be shown an error message.

• This is not based on Fireteam…

[stoic rapids]

such a weird change

[fickle drift]

[safe dawn]

aegis became a cat apparently

[hasty zinc]

huh?

[candid solar]

Cat

[rare cedar]

Good change

No more 4stacks and ruining lesser experience players

[steady jolt]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/ranked-arena-party-matching-update

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but I can't see why they would do that

keep 4 stacks and bring back the solo duo queue

[true ibex]

yeah bringing solo/duo queue back would kinda fix this whole issue

that way both sides win

ppl can queue with friends or not play w 4 stacks

[obsidian wyvern]

exactly

[timber charm]

maybe onyx 3/4 stacks only match 3/4 stacks

Better than a straight up ban

[true ibex]

thats another solution

restricting parties in ranked halo is so wack

[obsidian wyvern]

they picked the worst possible way ngl

[true ibex]

yeah

like i dont even play ranked and i hate the change

[normal owl]

Four separate playlists: for 1, 2, 3, and 4-person fireteams

*people riot in the streets*

[slim zealot]

not enough ppl

[steady jolt]

No matter what options they pick, a chunk of people are gonna be unhappy

And they'll be vocal about it

[normal owl]

People gotta choose their chunk: happy or unhappy.

[obsidian wyvern]

for solo duo, there weren't enough people in season 2, where let's be real the game was at its lowest point. this should be significantly better than then

[green reef]

Has halo Infinite improved since launch? I haven’t played since then and I found out it to be pretty boring back then

[hasty zinc]

@normal owl did you have time to review my lawyer talk from yesterday?

[normal owl]

It has improved, and it is guaranteed by me personally to be worth your time.

[normal owl]

Let me look back and enjoy.

[green reef]

Did they at least add super fiesta? Cause I don’t remember it being there at launch

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[hasty zinc]

super fiesta is in the game

[obsidian wyvern]

and it's good imo

[green reef]

Oh nice, gonna try it out tmrw

[obsidian wyvern]

as someone who hates fiesta, I really do like super fiesta for some reason

[normal owl]

Powerful plea for the jury to consider milk-first a cereal offense.

[green reef]

I guess it’s cause halo infinite is more fast paced compared to older games

[obsidian wyvern]

milk first is straight up illegal

[steady jolt]

That's high treason

[normal owl]

It was a bowl'd argument, while still understanding that lay juries need to be spoon-fed proofs to reach the desired conclusion.

[fickle drift]

Cereal, then Milk, then Spoon, then Bowl. It’s a no-brainier.

[hasty zinc]

wait

confused about bowl last

[tidal tartan]

I still think they should add more body tipes

The ones we got in the game look all the same

It's just boring

[normal owl]

Is this like a snapshot of a deconstructed bowl of cereal?

[hasty zinc]

🥣 + cereal + 🥛

[normal owl]

Would be quite a mess each time if Bowl was last lol

"The flavors are good, but I hate having to rake all the wet cereal from my countertop into my bowl."

[hasty zinc]

I picture H8 scooping the ceral and milk off the edge of the counter into the bowl

[fickle drift]

It’s like a sandcastle you’ve got to pat the top of it

[hasty zinc]

pro tip place your hand over the cereal when pouring the milk so it doesn't overflow

[normal owl]

Key factor: ensuring the hand is still out of the milk's way.

"It's getting everywhere! But my cereal is staying down."

[hasty zinc]

pour between gap in pointer finger and thumb

[normal owl]

like Bishop did with the knife in Aliens.

[hasty zinc]

I have cereal eating down to a science

[normal owl]

Replicating and repeating it is delicious.

[hasty zinc]

upgrade from regular bowl to plastic mixing bowl

[normal owl]

Are we the same person???

It's such a luxury and relief to have that generous extra edge for the cereal's ebb and flow without spilling over and having that in a larger portion.

[hasty zinc]

nothing beats eating a giant bowl of cereal and watching your favorite show

life is just so good during those moments

[normal owl]

Totally vibing with that. And when you look down because you're out of cereal...but you're an adult so you just grab the box and pour more in without being denied permission.

[hasty zinc]

when you finally get done with the cereal and then you are treated with the cold sugary milk

[normal owl]

Do you switch cereals halfway through, like a multi-course cereal dinner?

[hasty zinc]

I've been experimenting with mixing cereals

[normal owl]

Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops: amazing.

[hasty zinc]

2/3 lucky charm, 1/3 cinnamon toast crunch

you dont' want the CTC to overpower the marshmallow

[amber mirage]

My daily routine for a few years was having breakfast in the morning, usually cereal, and watching an episode of a TV show before work.

[normal owl]

A fine balance

[hasty zinc]

livin' the life

[normal owl]

I greatly admire your ability to wake up earlier than critically necessary to get to work on time.

[amber mirage]

I work from home, so getting to work was the easy part

[normal owl]

oh my gosh, you just made the biggest case for WFH

[amber mirage]

I've been slipping recently with my sleep schedule

[normal owl]

*sleeping recently

[amber mirage]

True

Still get up early enough to start early, but not enough to squeeze in an episode before work

[hasty zinc]

ok I'm getting cereal now

[amber mirage]

Although, I technically could, just means I would have to end my workday later, and I don't want to do that

[normal owl]

I want some too so badly now.

[normal owl]

Agreed: work tries to creep into Life.

[amber mirage]

Getting done early and looking at all the extra time you have to yourself feels good

[hasty zinc]

new record time

poured a bowl in less than a minute

[normal owl]

I usually defaulted to a more "grains" kind of cereal first, like frosted shredded wheat or crispix or cracklin oat bran, then followed with the more "dessert" kind of cereal, like crunch berries, froot loops, etc.

[hasty zinc]

today's menu is captain crunch with berries

[amber mirage]

What kind of cereal?

Read my mind

[normal owl]

We are a cereal hive mind here.

[hasty zinc]

cereal killers

[normal owl]

perfect

That's the clan name.

[hasty zinc]

I'll post in clan corner

[amber mirage]

Reminds me, there was this indie game called Cereal Killaz announced a while back. Wonder how it's going along.

[hasty zinc]

still in development

[normal owl]

All Cereal Killers members must maintain a rank of Stainless Steel or above.

[obsidian wyvern]

no longer dead weight huh

[carmine horizon]

Why do I lose 15 points when I disconnect from a ranked game

[normal owl]

Dang you're right. What an identity crisis now.

[obsidian wyvern]

because you're ruining the match

[obsidian wyvern]

idk any cereal that skins to the bottom of the bowl

[normal owl]

No, we have to stay DeadWeight: that's the true nature vs ardent passions.

[obsidian wyvern]

sinks*

[hasty zinc]

shredded wheat

[normal owl]

I was just gonna say

[obsidian wyvern]

is that like weetabix

[hasty zinc]

no idea

[carmine horizon]

How am I ruining the match I disconnected

[hasty zinc]

...

[normal owl]

Gotta scoop around the murky milk like a guy in a movie thinking he killed his opponent in the water and unable to find him.

[carmine horizon]

I was doing fine and stuff my ping was fine then boom

I disconnected

[amber mirage]

Some people purposely disconnect and there's no way to tell, so they assume the worst

[hasty zinc]

you lose CSR because anyone can just disconnect internet or close the game and say "oh I disconnected"

[obsidian wyvern]

whether intentional or not, you've probably just lost your team the match

[hasty zinc]

have to treat everyone equally

[normal owl]

But yes, @obsidian wyvern , if you can get a hold of flavored frosted shredded mini wheats in the UK, treat yourself to Blueberry or Strawberry. They are very good.

[fickle drift]

Really need to get back to having cereal, been skipping breakfast too much lately

[obsidian wyvern]

bing with my Coco pops

[hasty zinc]

milk is extra cold today, sheeesh

[obsidian wyvern]

bro autocorrect

[amber mirage]

Just the way I like it

[hasty zinc]

it's so good

milk is a strange one, sometimes it's super cold, sometimes it's barely cold

even if it's been in the same spot in the fridge

[amber mirage]

As long as its cold, it's good enough

[normal owl]

Is someone sitting on the milk carton right before you use it sometimes as a prank

[hasty zinc]

it's how I stay cool in teh summer

[fossil skiff]

Is it being hit by moving air?

[hasty zinc]

I'm not a fridge expert, but probably?

that makes sense too though

like if something is behind it blocking direct air

[normal owl]

I think it's obvious that the milk sitting is the explanation.

[amber mirage]

Not an afridgecionado?

[normal owl]

wow nice!

[hasty zinc]

that's actually impressive

[amber mirage]

Took me a sec to figure out if would translate well to text

[ivory coyote]

got nominated for EOTM

i cannot cope with this lmao

[fossil skiff]

Could be dependent on how much stuff has been set in the fridge as well, or ambient air temp maybe

[hasty zinc]

Elephants On the Move?

[fossil skiff]

Like if you just came back from the store

[normal owl]

Egg of the Menu?

[ivory coyote]

employee of the month lmao

very, weird.

[normal owl]

haha we know, congratulations though for real!

[ivory coyote]

i do not do well with praise, just give me my money and let me do my thing lmfao

already trying to find a hole to slink back into

[dreamy stirrup]

my dad is up for civilian of hte year or something

he had to get new pictures taken and everything

[normal owl]

Yeah the best hole around, because you're the best employee of the month

[dreamy stirrup]

he is not happy

😂

[obsidian wyvern]

same, someone today at work forced me to call my manager down just to praise me and it was so awkward lol

[normal owl]

Those are the best pictures, when you can tell the person would have wished literally anything else.

[amber mirage]

How do you get nominated for civilian of the year?

[obsidian wyvern]

true lol

[dreamy stirrup]

he's a DOD civilian

[normal owl]

and a DAD of the year!

[dreamy stirrup]

woah now

don't go that far 😂

[ivory coyote]

be straight to HR after a scuffle from that, i am grateful this is a remote work project now LMAO

[normal owl]

Good for all of you guys though! I would be so proud of Dad despite his begrudging acceptance of the nomination lol. And Solis and Rev, while uncomfortable, it's awesome that you're being recognized for the quality that you truly bring despite not trumpeting yourselves!

Was that a trumpet?

[hasty zinc]

yeah idk why it went away

[normal owl]

Sam, what would make your dad's day even more: letting him know you also told a bunch of strangers on the internet and they all congratulate him.

[hasty zinc]

oh. daily

oops

[obsidian wyvern]

praising us when we didn't want praise smh my head

[fossil skiff]

Pictures suck

[muted rose]

Nuh uh

[normal owl]

Bold statement.

[hasty zinc]

bold and brash?

[ivory coyote]

bro yeah like cause they say 'smile' and you're trying to not do your best jerma impression LMAO

[fossil skiff]

I hate em, partially cause bad smile.

[jolly willow]

I think enough people are chiming in that the Onyx change is a good one, but the 1500 isn't the right starting point.
https://twitter.com/Lucid_TW/status/1691864300460142834

343 could make that starting point be different before launching this, if the pre-feedback is strong enough.

OpTic Lucid (@Lucid_TW)

@HaloSupport This should apply to only to 1900 or 2000+ csr not just your average onyx player. Close but not like this.

Twitter · Aug 16, 2023, 5:27 PM

[normal owl]

"The Bold and the Brash" doesn't quite have the same ring.

[fossil skiff]

Looking like I’m about to be sentenced or something

[ivory coyote]

Hang on I clearly haven't been paying attention, what's this about Onyx CSR?

[normal owl]

ohhhh as in having your picture taken. I was like "wow just a blanket statement of condemnation huh".

[muted rose]

We know you are no heretic…

[hasty zinc]

I love how I'm in my late 30's still quoting spongebob

that cartoon had a big impact apparently

[amber mirage]

Hard for it not to

[normal owl]

For years and years, my driver's license picture was hideous because, when I got my picture taken, I thought it'd be funny to pull my face back to make it look like I had a huge double-chin. But the low-res of the camera flattened out the image and made it just look like I looked terrible. Then they kept renewing my license without a new picture.

[amber mirage]

It was quality entertainment

[jolly willow]

#halo-support-news Onyx players will only be able to search in a max party of 2. (starting at 1500 CSR)

[ivory coyote]

Is this to prevent sweeps for high rank vs onyx players?

[true ibex]

yes

but all it will in turn do is create more smurfs

and in turn lower the ranked population

because why would u want to queue with a full 4 in a team based shooter, beats me

/ s

like they literally had this issue solved all the way back to when the game released

[ivory coyote]

Not that it will create more smurfs but IMO it'll have the opposite effect I think. I don't think punishing high skilled players is the move.

[hasty zinc]

I'm glad all of this doesnt' apply to me lol

[true ibex]

well either way, if u play ranked you basically better get used to only playing with one other person

[normal owl]

lol same

[muted rose]

Me neither.

[ivory coyote]

Like there's players like Lucid and Spartan yeah having them show up on your team is marginally an advantage but players at their ELO are always gonna be at their peak

[true ibex]

it doesnt apply to me either, still care tho

[hasty zinc]

I don't know enough about how any of this works

[muted rose]

Watching Onyx players fight is like that one Michael Jackson popcorn gif

Fun for viewers

[ivory coyote]

Yeah at that point it's just a case of who messes up first lmao

[fossil skiff]

Where missing 1-2 bullets gets you killed. Probably.

[muted rose]

“He missed the headshot!”

You make your headshots every time?

[jolly willow]

it's to prevent 4stacks of onyx players dominating the playlist.

Have a quick read of the article posted in #halo-support-news

[sand nest]

My Theater Mode Isn't Playing Back The Same As My Video Recordings

Players Facing Wrong Directions

[fossil skiff]

Do my placements and dip

[hardy roost]

lol its a trash idea whats wrong with playing a comp game competativly with a team with comms thats the point where else can they play

add solo duo q if ya wanna again also i win alot with a duo lol 4 stacks aint all that prepare diamonds for the smurf waves

[muted rose]

I know I’m getting old now because I’m having a hard time reading this

[hardy roost]

use your brain to add a , where you need to im in game no time to type it all out for you.

[normal owl]

That's ok, you do the work. We'll wait.

[dreamy stirrup]

less typey typey more pew pew then

[hardy roost]

busy de ranking a smurf

so i can play with my friends since i guess thats not cool anymore

[muted rose]

If I had a dollar for everytime someone said “I can’t do XYZ because it isn’t cool anymore” despite there being obvious reasoning (if flawed implementation), I would buy Elon musk himself

[true ibex]

reasoning doesnt matter if its objectively flawed

[slate saffron]

[true ibex]

which in this case, it is

yeah man i just killed this guy in broad daylight cause i wanted to

at least i gave u a reason tho

its like when 343 axed splitscreen coop, least they gave u a reason right?

right.....

[muted rose]

I think you need to see the definition of reasoning, because that’s not what I said at all.

You made something up and then attributed it to me.

Reasoning can be bad.

I don’t think it’s very flawed to want to give other players a chance against onyx players. Maybe the implementation is, I don’t know, but the actual purpose of the update is not that bad.

[solemn wyvern]

If I have a mouse and keyboard connected to my Xbox, but playing on controller, will it affect auto aim?

[hardy roost]

Why would we give others a chance against onyx? Onyx vs Onyx should be already "Even" Same rank

[rigid egret]

Anyone did the weekly challenges this week and get the light bike thing?

[vague mesa]

Hello guys

[true ibex]

you implied it then later double down on it lmfao. the purpose of the update is to stop onyx players to stop matching against 4 stacks, sure it may solve one problem in the cog but that also creates more issues that are argueably worse in the process such as alienating players who enjoy working together as a full team

you LITERALLY said "despite there being obvious reasoning"

lmfaooooo

not gonna waste my time tbh

you yourself said you dont play ranked so you shouldnt even be giving input tbh

[muted rose]

The reasoning is that onyx players don’t get to sweep

Is that bad?

[normal owl]

Same

[hardy roost]

sweep what?

Other onyx players? The same rank thats how ranked play works.

[slim zealot]

🤦‍♂️

[normal owl]

If this update is a bad idea, then the data will prove them wrong. Just let time work it out.

[earnest umbra]

what update

[normal owl]

Playable Elites.

Just kidding lol

[slim zealot]

honestly the update is pretty dumb imo but you can't satisfy everyone

[earnest umbra]

[obsidian wyvern]

wonder if it'll just be like a £15 discount lol

[hasty zinc]

people say the elite controler is gaming perfection??

[muted rose]

With Amazon, it’ll be maybe a 2% discount

[normal owl]

They used the wrong picture for the Kinect, how embarrassing.

[obsidian wyvern]

pfft haha

[solemn wyvern]

lmao

the elite 2 is pretty good tbf

[hasty zinc]

I only ever hear people complaining about issues

[muted rose]

And no, that’s not gaming perfection. That controller is maybe a 6/10

[unreal tree]

👋

[solemn wyvern]

well if you’re annoyed by something you’re more likely to talk about it on the internet

[muted rose]

Gaming perfection is obviously the Teletubbies games on PBS kids

[normal owl]

While I'm sad that your pfp no longer makes me hungry with a picture of a delicious mcdouble, I support you expressing yourself with a new picture.

[muted rose]

Hahaha, its actually a funny story. It’s not Einstein because I think I’m smart, its Einstein because me and my friends were jokingly doing Oppenheimer role play the other day

[dire palm]

Always Wonder what happened to triggers down, final boss , carbon and str8 rippin. Guess they just departed and joined optic or faze? Etc

[muted rose]

Literally just Strauss yelling at Oppenheimer

That’s all it was.

It’s funnier if you were there.

[normal owl]

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

[muted rose]

My profile is usually an inside joke

[fickle drift]

Surely the better alternative would be to just only have 4 stacks only play other 4 stacks

[muted rose]

McDouble was part of the “McDonald’s menu” lineup

[jolly willow]

either that, or just give us 2 playlists again

[hasty zinc]

this is a brand new sentence

[muted rose]

Maybe roleplay is a bit of a strong word

[normal owl]

I was gonna say, but you do you.

[fickle drift]

‘Historical reenactment’ then

[muted rose]

Yes, considering the amount of yelling there was

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/clown-mcdonalds-happy-excited-gif-19692209

I guess there is a shortage of relevant McDouble gifs

And then way back when, the missing spartan was a joke that Miranda’s “to war” line in 3 caused a Spartan to get lost in transit, costing her a valuable asset

[hasty zinc]

H3 Miranda made some poor choices

[muted rose]

To say the least…

[normal owl]

Definitely a nepo baby

[hasty zinc]

after Keyes was turned into a flood and had a hole punched in his face I wouldn't be using him to gain advantage in any scenario

that's all people will think about if she mentions him

anyone else think the Ui is crazy in Infinite?

[hasty zinc]

in what way

[earnest umbra]

[hasty zinc]

could you provide an example?

[earnest umbra]

like when you are in queue and try to look at the shop or something then getting back to that tab is like 5 steps

[true ibex]

f1 > customize > shop

[earnest umbra]

or try to cancel queue if you arent on the right screen

[bold sparrow]

Never had that issue. Left stick cancels anywhere right

[earnest umbra]

idk i dont use controller, if there is a button to cancel i dont see one as an option for MnK

[obsidian wyvern]

when you're queueing, it should say on the blue bar on the far right

[earnest umbra]

How in the world had i not noticed that ever

I always clicked through tabs trying to get into the tab to click on cancel search

man, i'm pretty disappointed in how swat plays 😦 the spawns are horrible, you only win your fights if you have better ping and the game decides not to blank your headshots, i've lost count of how many times i've been killed and THEN the person comes around the corner or out from behind cover, I get headshotted around corners when I am taking cover from a fight etc.

[elfin glacier]

Hey guys

[fleet bluff]

too many network issues for it to be a good playlist

[vapid siren]

its not the same

[hasty zinc]

I don't get it

[obsidian wyvern]

you haven't watched the punisher?

[elfin glacier]

hey THEPUNISHER

[earnest umbra]

even if you have high ping you get peakers advantage especially in swat

[hasty zinc]

no

[obsidian wyvern]

you're missing out

[obsidian sandal]

honestly with all of Infinite's issues, I've just gone back to MCC H3 MP.

[vapid siren]

there's a guy in r/halo that just comes in and says hey guys and he is our national icon

thats it

[hasty zinc]

I see

what's the "it's not the same" mean

[fossil skiff]

it’s “hey guys” at home?

[obsidian wyvern]

I guess it doesn't hit the same way the other dude's does lol

[hasty zinc]

what other dude?

[fossil skiff]

you, dude

[fossil skiff]

What cereal before milk does to a person

[obsidian wyvern]

😮

[vapid siren]

Because we have a bot command to post it

But it isnt the same

[elfin glacier]

have it on a random timer

[stray wharf]

I am a new author and would love to publish a book into the official Halo Universe. Does anyone know how or where I can contact someone who does?

[vapid siren]

if you want an official book in canon that'd be pretty tough to do as a new author

pretty sure all the folks that wrote halo novels have had a lot of years writing novels before Halo

fanfic is ofc always welcome tho

[stray wharf]

Well, the one who wrote The Cole Protocol was new when he wrote it. It says it when he's thanking Eric Nylund for excepting new authors.

[hasty zinc]

ah. I understand now

did the person leave or something?

[vapid siren]

no

hes still around

[hasty zinc]

then why does the bot post it if he still does

[vapid siren]

he hasnt posted in a week

[stray wharf]

@vapid siren could you direct someone who I can talk to about publishing?

[vapid siren]

we need our fix

[elfin glacier]

it's over

[stray wharf]

It's ok if you can't

[hasty zinc]

ah ok, thanks. I just didn't know what was happening lol

[elfin glacier]

the discord has collapsed
billions must be banned

[hasty zinc]

I don't go in that place very often

very scary

[vapid siren]

idk who that'd properly be aside from sam forwarding on, but if you just pull up like that idk how itd pan out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stray wharf]

True. But I need permission to publish. And a # of pages.

So I need to find someone who can help. And as far as I know 343 has no official email.

[hasty zinc]

you would probably have to contact MSFT

[faint mantle]

I'm pretty sure Discord folk can't help you either

We're common mortals, like you.

[hasty zinc]

speak for yourself

I'm gonna live forever

[pliant hatch]

is the light bike supposed to be a tron reference?

[hasty zinc]

absolutely

[faint mantle]

Silly Aegis, we all know even after death, AIs can't live for more than seven years

[hasty zinc]

the domain would like a word with you

[faint mantle]

We don't talk about the domain

[hasty zinc]

[pliant hatch]

[smoky token]

if you don’t know the difference between “excepting” and “accepting” then I doubt you will get into any kind of program

also the days of Eric Nylund are long over

[stray wharf]

Ok, that's true

[vapid siren]

xbox is kill?

[stray wharf]

But it's worth a shot and it was a typo, sorry.

[misty tusk]

Servers down???

[pliant hatch]

apparently

[barren eagle]

did the servers just die

[faint mantle]

It's not chewsday, innit

[fleet bluff]

[obsidian wyvern]

[visual oasis]

[hasty zinc]

[unkempt prism]

[fleet bluff]

[molten pelican]

ah one of the best animated films!

[normal owl]

No joke, Through Heaven's Eyes is on one of my Spotify playlists. That soundtrack had some bangers.

[molten pelican]

extremely underrated

[supple hazel]

Just finished building the 2019 Lego millennium falcon

[empty parrot]

MCC is working

[brazen bronze]

it is

[empty parrot]

Yeah

[jaunty yoke]

The space combat section in Reach is so boring 😔

[hardy roost]

343 steady killing their game lol

mcc h2 and h3 are better at this point

[brazen bronze]

fr tho, no clue why bungie thought it was a good idea

[hardy roost]

cant even play with my friends hard days work crack a beer run MM with my 4 life friends nopeeeeee

[jaunty yoke]

H2 will be good the day enemies stop spamming button combos on you

[dreamy stirrup]

yes you've had your lamentations all morning

you can leave constructive feedback in #1039633978841374720 but at this point, i think we can leave it out of general 🙂

[hardy roost]

Just that time of day and now sadness my old friend

[jaunty yoke]

Why do players pretend they care about splitscreen but then they didn't know Infinite has had it for multiplayer since launch

[hardy roost]

ill leave it in there but i doubt anyone cares lol

[jaunty yoke]

Are you gonna blame 343 for making online play the rule when that has been the rule ever since Xbox Live was conceived?

[queen remnant]

The daily Halo is dead comment

[hardy roost]

Huh the online is fine rn they need to fix desync and people not getting beat down etc

halo is never dead we love it to much

Keep coming back for more

[jaunty yoke]

I've yet to experience any desync that isn't common in online games

[hardy roost]

Ive got clips where im 100% standing behind a wall for a full second almost then my buddies pov i was still in the open and he shot me in the head i dropped dead standing still. Trust me play 2k onyx and you will see the issues. On lan the games great.

mcc had this issue couldnt find a game logn que time etc

[jaunty yoke]

I have no interested in ranked modes

[empty parrot]

WERE BACK BOYS

[hardy roost]

Well then you woudlnt experience the issues we do in Br fights

[empty parrot]

AND GALS

[brazen bronze]

Infinite's back up?

[hardy roost]

Its been up

[brazen bronze]

hell yeah

[jaunty yoke]

Why would I even want to play ranked. MLG is not gonna call me or anything

[brazen bronze]

finally i can stop playing Halo 3

[queen remnant]

Imagine downloading MCC again

[fickle drift]

As an honest Halo fan since Combat Evolved, this is the best state I have seen the franchise in since 2001! As a loyal Halo fan and Xbox Live Gold member for the past 22 years,
I have never enjoyed the series as much as I do today. I've never seen a game developer more committed and better suited for the Halo franchise than 343 Industries. They are by far
the best game developers on the market. We must back them and trust the process! I have to admit that 343 Industries is simply the GOAT, far better than Bungie ever was or could ever
hope to be!

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT! 🌞

[jaunty yoke]

Imagine downloading heavy games

Cloud gaming master race

[brazen bronze]

i keep it installed for Reach and 2, still nothing beats those games

[jaunty yoke]

Ah yes, armor lock and button combos the games

[muted rose]

Ucs?

[queen remnant]

H2 is understandable, reach is not

[brazen bronze]

I should specify Halo 2 Anniversary, 2 Classic hurts to play, physically, also I think Reach players have an agreement to just... not use armourlock

[supple hazel]

I've never really struggled with desync

[supple hazel]

Last time I checked, clouds are really friggin heavy

[jaunty yoke]

The fact that Halo 2 doesn't have the screen arrows that show up when you get shot makes the game unplayable, and sometimes the game glitches and you can't hear Battle Rifle shots, so you die without any clue of where you were getting shot from

[pliant hatch]

I'll get desync every now and then

[brazen bronze]

We're also in NA, so we get the best servers, that's a good thing to keep in mind

[jaunty yoke]

I played a Warzone match yesterday and got that nice summer 2016 nostalgia
Not many people still playing Halo 5 but the ones that are, you're legends

[normal owl]

YES. You're the legend.

[brazen bronze]

I wish I could play 5, the lack of a PC port makes it kinda hard
