Free Spotify is… strange.

I’ve always had a subscription, but once I logged in with the wrong email and got a taste of free Spotify

[normal owl]

Yeah one of the enemies of the ancient Homerian Greeks was putting out a lot of commercials on Spotify at that time.

[muted rose]

I had to think about that for a moment

[obsidian wyvern]

i take a break from Spotify for like 3 weeks every other week and I just never get ads when I use it lol

[fickle drift]

I just end up using YouTube, lot of music I like is region blocked on Spotify, or with stuff like Theme Park music its just straight up not on there

[normal owl]

[cinder fox]

Yeah pandora has better playlist for free user

[muted rose]

What really bothers me is nintendos refusal to release their soundtracks

[obsidian wyvern]

YouTube regularly nukes my playlist so I just downloaded it from there

[muted rose]

I would totally buy Mario 64’s soundtrack

[cinder fox]

I don't see how halo game tracks can have a copywrite to be streamed if they're in the game your streaming

[candid solar]

Spartans are catheterized (Likely through the bladder wall via a port, traditional catheters wouldn't be the best idea for MJOLNIR). Their suit recycles the waste into drinkable water.

For understandable reasons, just saying "They're catheterized" is likely all you'll ever know.

[reef depot]

3 gifs b2b? lol

[fickle drift]

That's quite the price tag

[gaunt saddle]

lads, is it normal for the scarab to clip through the walls in the halo 3 mission, The Ark?

[muted rose]

Worth every penny

[obsidian wyvern]

which walls

[fickle drift]

I was gonna say lol

[obsidian wyvern]

you see it a few times before engaging it

[gaunt saddle]

i'll send you an image of it in dms

[muted rose]

If Nintendo could work out a way with Spotify to release their soundtracks on there I’ll die a happy man

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think I have DMS on and I cba tbh

[muted rose]

I don’t want to listen to the remixes or whatever

[obsidian wyvern]

I've also just realised my iron has been on for a whole 6 hours while I was at work

[rare cedar]

Are you talking about this

[gaunt saddle]

YES THAT EXACTLY HAPPENS

😭

[muted rose]

Is this recent?

[hasty zinc]

idk

[fickle drift]

That's a first I've seen that

[muted rose]

Yeah, that artist changed a bunch of the original songs to like “orchestral remix” stuff

There’s still some original ones

[hasty zinc]

these are all the original songs

[muted rose]

But the bangers like bomb-mob battlefield are remixed

[candid solar]

This is a certified Halo 3 moment

[muted rose]

I found it on Spotify

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't even know where that image is taken from

[muted rose]

The playlist aegis sent

[gaunt saddle]

so true

[muted rose]

It has the ones that are unmodified

[gaunt saddle]

(im playing halo 3 legendary at the moment)

[muted rose]

But the ones I like are composed or something

[rare cedar]

[candid solar]

I always want to go back and play Halo 3

[rare cedar]

It’s the part where you take down the scarab with the tank before you storm into the big building with Arby

[candid solar]

But then I play it for like 5 minutes and remember why I don't play it very often

[muted rose]

First mission is a drag tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but that's not from where it jumps down from the top is it

[candid solar]

I honestly usually just have MCC for the Spartan Ops these days.

[muted rose]

Fighting in voi and the last level are the only ones I like

[gaunt saddle]

sometimes i wonder why i chose to attempt to beat every halo game on legendary

[candid solar]

For whatever reason, it's Cortana for me.

[rare cedar]

Is it happening every time you enter that part of the mission

[candid solar]

I think it's the limited sandbox.

[muted rose]

You like the level Cortana?

That’s a first

[gaunt saddle]

first time i see it happen

[candid solar]

More for the gameplay than anything else. I hate the design and I hate the story of that mission, but I don't mind the actual encounter and gameplay setup.

[hasty zinc]

the solution to that issue is obviously just to play Halo 4 instead

[candid solar]

It's kinda like a diet Library, which is my favorite mission in CE.

[gaunt saddle]

suprisingly, during my halo ce legendary run, The Library wasnt too bad for me

[candid solar]

Library's really only got two particularly nasty encounters. It's very much a slog through a constant dungeon, but it's fun for that IMO.

[muted rose]

I don’t mind Cortana or the library, but I don’t have particularly strong feelings toward them

[gaunt saddle]

the rocket launcher flood...

[candid solar]

I like levels that are just constant pushing through hordes.

[rare cedar]

I’m going to recommend you to the local therapist

[final rose]

I always thought that for me The Library was an easy mission on Legendary

[obsidian wyvern]

he also said reach was better than odst

[final rose]

A hard one is two betrayals

[fickle drift]

I dislike Cortana more than the Library
But then I dislike Two Betrayals and Keyes more than the Library so

[candid solar]

Two Betrayals sucks.

[gaunt saddle]

😭

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah screw two betrayals

[candid solar]

Hands-down one of the worst levels of the entire franchise.

[muted rose]

I never had a problem with rocket flood on legendary, I don’t think they’re really that bad tbh

[gaunt saddle]

I SWEAR TO GOD, I JUST DESTROYED THE SCARAB BUT I DIED BEFORE GETTING A CHECKPOINT...

[obsidian wyvern]

L

[fickle drift]

Certified Halo moment

[gaunt saddle]

certified

[obsidian wyvern]

what difficulty you on

[final rose]

On normal I think its a good level

[gaunt saddle]

legendary, working on getting all halo games on legendary

[candid solar]

It just drags on and on.

[muted rose]

If you liked assault on the control room maybe

[candid solar]

Even AotCR isn't that bad

[obsidian wyvern]

ah cool, you got this

[bronze breach]

is there any event next week?

[candid solar]

And it's literally the same level backwards

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[bronze breach]

good, trying to binge play matches to complete event now. sad to say i've gone off gaming after my 3 week hiatus lol

[muted rose]

I actually despise going backwards in levels, with the sole exception of floodgate

[fickle drift]

Floodgate has the decency to be brief

[gaunt saddle]

true

[muted rose]

Fighting with elites is great, and that’s really the only thing it has going for it

Atmosphere too I guess

Repeating sections also annoy me

Like in composer, in the one airlock room that’s in like, half of the level

Just copy and pasted

[obsidian wyvern]

was it halo 4 where you could eject the elites out the airlock

[muted rose]

I think so

[fickle drift]

I get more annoyed by on-rail like sections tbh

Gondolas, Elevators, Falcon turret sections

[gaunt saddle]

yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

aye that was kinda neat

[muted rose]

That was a funny part

[candid solar]

Yep

[muted rose]

Halo 2 isn’t your favorite is it?

[obsidian wyvern]

not enough to make me shill for 4 aegis calm down

[fickle drift]

ngl I love Halo 2 but its level design can be infuriating

[muted rose]

I’ll drink to that

[hasty zinc]

H2 is one of my favorites campaign wise

[gaunt saddle]

the sounds of explosions, and brute shots scare me now

[muted rose]

H2 has a great story, but the actually gameplay leaves something to be desired

[hasty zinc]

it has its moments of course

[muted rose]

Like leaving your frigate over a flood infested zone

Good job Miranda you are truly a tactical genius

Just like your father

I’ll never pass up an opportunity to trash on Miranda

[obsidian wyvern]

what does he mean by that 🤨

[candid solar]

Miranda, the nepotist extraordinnaire.

At least Madsen can actually kill what he shoots at.

[obsidian wyvern]

lol you didn't have to edit it

[muted rose]

The edit button exists solely for me

I claimed it

It’s mine

[obsidian wyvern]

it's yours buddy dw

[candid solar]

I'm pretty sure that Miranda only ever visually kills a singular thing in the entirity of Halo 2 and 3.

[gaunt saddle]

edit button has been changed to The Mcdouble Spartan

[muted rose]

She hits a brute once or twice

[candid solar]

The brute she shot with a shotgun got back up.

[muted rose]

It’s literally me

[candid solar]

The other one fell off a cliff because she hit it with a pelican, and screamed instead of being pulverized.

[fickle drift]

I'm still convinced she could've Mac blasted the control room and saved a lot of extra hassle

[gaunt saddle]

literal

[hasty zinc]

let's not use logic here please

[candid solar]

Easiest canon fix ever, just outright say the MAC was entirely dry of ammo.

[hasty zinc]

ram the ship into the control room then

[fickle drift]

Better than going in on her own with a Pelican lol

[muted rose]

Here’s another great idea, go against an assault carrier with one unsc frigate

Like, why would you even ask hood to go against one you don’t need to be a tactical genius to know that’s a incredibly poor idea

[candid solar]

Miranda has very... Confident stances on what she can take on and with what.

[hasty zinc]

I didn't realize you could just straight put real pictures for maps in CGB

[wheat talon]

Yo guys, I have a question it's halo mythos Canon?

Like the book

[hasty zinc]

yes

[wheat talon]

Oh, k, thanks

[hasty zinc]

[hasty zinc]

but you'll miss out on that sick BR weapon model

[dawn crest]

[earnest umbra]

APG playing vs a cheater on stream RN 💀

[oak cave]

Hello

[mint mesa]

Hey there, I've got a real big problem here. Supposedly reach is a planet orbiting epsilon eridani, but in the game and opening credits we see it RIDICULOUSLY close to a gas giant. There is NO way a planet with that much gravity, that close to a gas giant, would not end up a moon. So what I'm saying is, given the evidence in the game itself and just good old common sense, reach is a moon.

At the very least it's a close orbiting binary with a very small gas giant. But moon is way more likely

[left bone]

who are you?

[mint mesa]

Me? I'm spartan John-117

[left bone]

checks profile

seems legit

[umbral loom]

[mint mesa]

Now, any idea on the satellite status of reach? Because reach os actually a moon

[umbral loom]

[echo current]

Bro spawned in and dropped some mad science

[hasty zinc]

I don't see a gas giant in the opening of Reach

[echo current]

Maybe he is talking about Csodaszarvas

[devout tide]

APGs stream?

[echo current]

But technically that's orbiting Reach

[hasty zinc]

yeah

that's a moon of reach

[echo current]

Yeah

[earnest umbra]

are you asking what his channel is ? its APG but he doesnt ever have vods on

[eager mango]

Happy Sunday, on Halo Infinite, Ranked Games on Kick.

[devout tide]

Nah, was wondering if it was his stream you were talking about or someone elses stream showing that. I got you though.

[mint mesa]

That right there is a gas giant large enough to have itself a set of rings, and an object the size of reach is STILL small enough in this scenario to at minimum be in a binary orbit, if its not outright a moon of the Gass giant

Can't add pictures darn

[hasty zinc]

make sure to read the comments in there too because some of them fix OPs calculations

[mint mesa]

The whole system is pretty messed up. But basically like OP said, Csodaszarvas is most likely a gas giant

[hasty zinc]

idk

I don't think they put a lot of thought into it

other than "cool space stuff"

[dapper kindle]

👉💀👈

[fickle drift]

Hey, does anyone know if it's still possible to watch past seasons cutscenes in game? I can't seem to find a cutscene tab

[candid solar]

Funny space sky looks pretty

[mint mesa]

Do elites have throwing knives? In the movie, halo: forward unto dawn, about halfway through the movie, just before I show up 😉 one of the hastati squad members gets the elite zealot's attention, then prepares to throw some sort of gas container at the elite. Before he can however, the elite makes a flicking motion with its arm and something flashes at the squad member. We hear an audible "stabbing" noise as he falls to the ground. Looks to me like the elite went all 9knives on him.

[hasty zinc]

no RP

[mint mesa]

K sorry, just a joke there

[candid solar]

Still the funniest RP moment in this server for me.

Context was someone asking about military farewell ceremonies.

[mint mesa]

Oh I thought he was telling me of for joking about me being in the movie as master chief. I'm surprised no one tried using capital i as a 1 in J-II7

[candid solar]

After someone was pretending to be an Admiral retiring from the UNSC when they were just... Leaving the server.

[candid solar]

It's generally frowned upon outside of the #1076334026090094602 because it's kind of cringe.

And the Clan Corner is clearly a containment zone.

[hasty zinc]

I wasn't "telling you off" per say I was just stating that roleplay isn't allowed

[mint mesa]

I wasn't meaning to roleplay. It was meant to be a one off joke. Hence the wink

[mint mesa]

🤣🤣🤣

[echo current]

Craig my beloved

[dusky scarab]

God I hope that the cross core stuff comes sooner, it's a pain that we have to wait so long for it

[fickle drift]

They're already starting. 343 atm is a small studio, so it'll take time

[mint mesa]

Can't believe that everyone passes of the fact that Craig is dead from the beginning, the picture has the "enemy killed" red x across the crosshairs.

Does anyone know if elites have throwing knives though?

[dusky scarab]

Wdym??

[cedar turret]

throwing knives become obsolete when you develop firearms

[dusky scarab]

But tbf they need to fix the engine

It's hard for even them to do stuff on it

[fickle drift]

They've made progress towards Cross Core, but due to the size of 343, it won't be fast, and understandably so

[elfin glacier]

nobody actually knows what the specific issues with the engine/tools/processes are beyond the people who've actually seen it and work with it

[bold sparrow]

Oh man, people tried that back in the day?
Wasn't that what started off IX Auxiliary with his "clan troll" stuff?

[bold sparrow]

Its also, you know, dead for the most part, ever since they reorganized the server into t hreads.

[fickle drift]

Clans are awful anyway

Full of weirdo's exercising power fantasies and engaging in historical revisionism and apologia.

yello

Hello 🌞

how you doing man

Great. How are you?

I'm in the car rn just waiting for a friend to get out the cannabis dispensary

picking up his prescription

[true ibex]

W

[fickle drift]

lmao

Fair. That stuff's big illegal here.

wya?

I'm listening to music me

I'm in Florida

yeah I got music on the radio too

[fickle drift]

United Kingdom

Ic ic

I love Florida. Been there many times.

oh cool, yeah it's nice here, I'd much rather live somewhere like Missouri though

[pliant hatch]

wow, florida actually does something right

[fickle drift]

I've never seen snow before

Really? If I ever moved to the US it would probably be to Florida to be honest.

just not for me, between the person in office rn (the states governor), the swampy humid weather, and wanting to see snow

Snow ahahaha

Snow makes me sad.

Spent many years in Sweden

[pliant hatch]

aside from the politics it's super humid which I can't stand

[fickle drift]

Ooh

[fickle drift]

yeah I kinda dislike the humidity but I'm also sorta used to it

[queen remnant]

Just press the switch engine button

[fickle drift]

Ironically I wanna go somewhere colder but I begin shaking and shivering at 60°f (15°c)

The Cold isn't too bad.

It's the fact that it's soooo dark during winter months in places like Sweden

Makes it very depressing

[echo current]

I was wondering this too btw,

[fickle drift]

Fr, I actually enjoyed the cutscenes, i do hope there's a way to revisit them

Kinda like how you can watch Spartan Ops cutscenes in MCC

Though I've noticed MCC is still missing the "We are the giants" cutscene

[echo current]

I think you can watch them all on yt actually

[terse ember]

Is there any free nameplates u can get on mcc ??

[obsidian wyvern]

everything cosmetic wise is free

[fickle drift]

aaa

[obsidian wyvern]

random nameplates come out pretty regularly too, usually all you have to do is log into the game around the time period it's added

[pliant hatch]

played against a racist and homophobe. haven't run into one of those in awhile.

[pulsar cobalt]

Oh god in this day age its ridiculous

[muted rose]

They’re rare but super frustrating/annoying to play with

[pulsar cobalt]

I had a friend that i use to play with like that i just cringed all the time and told him to shut up haha don't play with him anymore though now

[muted rose]

Probably for the best. I had a friend like that too, he just whined and complained about everything and always played the victim, even though he is literally making other people victims in the process

[obsidian wyvern]

relatable

[fickle drift]

Perhaps, but idk, it ain't the same as being part of the actual game yk?

[spring yarrow]

i am onyx .

[echo current]

Major W

[spring yarrow]

thankssssss

Took me all the weekend, but i did it

[echo current]

I am only gold 😆

[spring yarrow]

aaaaaaa

[echo current]

Thats epic

My w for this week is buying my first battle pass

[spring yarrow]

it truly feels unreal for me to be onyx

[faint mantle]

I told you you had a bright future

[echo current]

Good for you dude like I said thats sick

[tidal tartan]

I'm definitely getting better after playing ranked

But I have a hard time getting to silver 4

[spring yarrow]

i would like to make content on youtube and tiktok on halo tbh, like making it look good and fun to play

[muted rose]

You probably could

If your onyx I bet people would watch

[spring yarrow]

yeah i have to get ideas, i also have already 8h of matches recorded if i feel the need to do anything

[muted rose]

Currently omw to diamond, but I’m teetering on gold 4 right now

[echo current]

When the season ends you keep older battle passes you've purchased even if you haven't completed it right?

[muted rose]

Yeah

[spring yarrow]

yeah

[muted rose]

All battle passes are kept

[spring yarrow]

i still have to complete the reach one lmao

[muted rose]

And you can purchase any one you want at anytime

Reach one is kinda mid tbh

Season 3 and 4 are my favourites

[spring yarrow]

nah i like my og stuff

[echo current]

It's my favorite lol

[spring yarrow]

also i am sad i couldn't finish the tenrai event

[muted rose]

I have nothing against the mark V b but I never use it

Im a Mark 7 User for the most part

I use rakasha, mirage and yoroi sometimes

I might use hazmat once I get more for it

[steady jolt]

I also like Hazmat though, very cool stuff

[faint mantle]

This helmet looks both christmass-y and like a Rudolph reindeer

[spring yarrow]

only use yoroi armor core

[cedar turret]

What did they call rudolph after the he got sober?

Rudolph the noseless reindeer

[misty tusk]

Ive played 5 games tonight and 3 of them have been crashes. Ive lost over 250 CSR in the last 3 weeks from crashes. Im on a very good system and have updated all the drivers, done fresh installs and verified the game countless times. What is wrong with Halo. it has never been this bad EVER.

[faint mantle]

Do you have the High-res textures installed? Are you on Steam or Xbox Store?

[misty tusk]

Ive installed unistalled the hi res textures, tried steam and xbox.

Its a pile of garbage

[faint mantle]

The patch notes say they're supposed to be installed on Steam, but uninstalled on the Xbox Store

[misty tusk]

Ive dropped from D3 to P5 in the last 3 weeks]

Ive seen in reports to support but they dont give a damn

[fickle drift]

Ngl i admire the moderation, quite polite

[steady jolt]

We try our best :)

[fickle drift]

I can see that, i accidentally broke a minor rule and instead of getting stroppy, the one i was talking too was actually calm and cooperative, we need more mods like that on this app for all servers, usually mods are snobby and power hungry in other servers 😂

[steady jolt]

Definitely won't find that here

[bold sparrow]

Main servers tend to have actually competent mods, for the most part.

[fickle drift]

Setting a good example for all, i like that 💪🏻

[fickle drift]

This is one of the only game servers i joined, since i adore halo

[spring yarrow]

yeah, that's just infinite, even with my new pc, sometimes it does weird things

[misty tusk]

Why is -15 for a crash still a thing. I know it could be games but at the same time. It’s killing all the effort I’m putting into the game.

[spring yarrow]

i just had issues when being matched up with golds or silvers recently, but that's maybe because i play very late

[fickle drift]

As in 15 mins?

Like a 15 min soft ban

[spring yarrow]

-15 csr i believe

[misty tusk]

-15 CSR everytime you crash out

[fickle drift]

Ohhh

[misty tusk]

3 crashes tonight is almost an entire rank

[fickle drift]

Sorry, I don't play mp Much, I'm a campaign lover all the way 😅

[bold sparrow]

Its a ranked problem more than anything.

Unless you happen to care about your W/L ratio much.
Seen a LOt of people dip out of BTB maps the moment someone else grabs their prefered weapon.

[fickle drift]

@misty tusk you may wanna restart your router and make sure to put a vpn on incase you're being hit offline

[misty tusk]

I get -15. My team drops score for no fault of their own and it wastes everyone’s time

[bold sparrow]

Or if they start to fall behind.
Yank the first take in Total Control and watch half the enemy team leave.

[misty tusk]

I’ve done all this. I’m on a gigabit line and hardwired in

[fickle drift]

Ah, I'm not sure then, apologies for not being able to help

[misty tusk]

Yeah no worries. It’s just a complete head wreck and a waste of time

[fickle drift]

Only been happening recently or nah?

[misty tusk]

Literally within the last 3 weeks

I’ve dropped so much rank that I’m playing against mid diamond teams with just P4-6 on my team and I’m expected to carry every game

[ivory coyote]

lmao im watching uny and he caught someone daring to hack in his comp games

[bold sparrow]

You surprised?

[misty tusk]

So I’m now hard stuck in rank and then dropping further and further down plat

[ivory coyote]

not really but he did a whole theatre mode schtick to to show everyone else lmao

Reminds me of when i did modding for riot games

one rioter would always come in and post logs when someone was claiming innocence

[fickle drift]

It may simply be the game then, that or perhaps assuming you got the VPN on, try setting it to another location to get games you won't dc from

[misty tusk]

I’ll probably just take a break and come back next season

[spring yarrow]

i will just take a break from ranked for few days too

doing that 8 hours a day for two days getting onyx was quite the burnout

but I consecrated my twitter for halo content now

[bold sparrow]

Least you managed to get to Onyx.

[spring yarrow]

yeahhh, much easier than valorant tbh

in halo you can carry way easier than valorant

[earnest umbra]

it makes sense, in Valorant you only get one life and no health regen

[spring yarrow]

yeah, that with the abilities that can stun you, blind you, detect you, block you etc etc

[earnest umbra]

I played Valorant up until icebox whatever its called map came out then i stopped

[bold sparrow]

Never been a fan of single life games. Is why I never liked BRs

[echo current]

Halo: Warzone 💀

[bold sparrow]

No.

[echo current]

Lol

"Lets drop Blood Gulch"

[bold sparrow]

If nothing else revives would be good. Do it like 5s campaign

[echo current]

Sadly never have played 5 cause no egbox 1

[earnest umbra]

I like Apex but thats it as far as BRs

[bold sparrow]

Apex works cause it's got a viable respawn system and the bones of Titanfall

[earnest umbra]

guess its also because i prefer FPS games with longer TTK

cant count how many times in Valorant i should ranomdly get headhsotted when they werent even shooting at me, they were shooting at a teammates

[spring yarrow]

too much ttk in apex tbh... also, the mmr is terrible

like, i legit have a screen, when i started ranked, the bottomest elo, and still be matched up with diamond and master

[bold sparrow]

Yeesh

[earnest umbra]

i thoguth that was a bug or something

[sharp veldt]

Surely it can't be hard to make a ranked system, just match people with their own rank, at least thats my understanding as someone too bad for ranked lmao

[bold sparrow]

If everyone played ranked it would be.
But the ratio of total to ranked is always low

[sharp veldt]

Titanfall 2 was a travesty, the mp was so damn fun

[smoky token]

I am a big fan of the BR55

I honestly really liked the 85, especially the Halo 4 version.
It felt like an evolution, like the UNSC was taking all this stuff they'd stolen from their foes and making their stuff better.
I wasnt a huge fan of the 85N from Halo 5, it looked okay but it felt...off. Too organic, almost? If that makes sense.
I really liked the MA5D though. Especially with all the options.

I would not be sad if we either got A) an 85 skin for the 75, B) the 85 as an entirely seperate weapon (some variation to the 85 somehow, not quite sure where it would fit) or if we got a different scope on the 85.

Albiet that would require them recreating the modular components for them but, hey, maybe it can work.

if you got good internet and a controller you can always get ultimate and play halo 5 by xcloud 😂

[fresh urchin]

Bruhhhh I just got kicked from a ranked game and I was carrying so hard smh

[fickle drift]

Ouch

Can u post pictures in general

[spring yarrow]

back in the day... when i had a secret and totally imaginary relationship with my atlas with a japanese ai...

[bold sparrow]

Heh. I miss the customizable suit AIs

[fossil skiff]

Customizable VISRs would be cool

[echo current]

When I move out I will probably just buy a new xbox and use that for streaming movies and stuff and also buy 5 for it

[fossil skiff]

even just color changing would be great

[echo current]

This ^

Or relocation so I could put my radar and stuff where I want it

[spring yarrow]

there is that on minecraft with simple mods lmao

[echo current]

lol

[fickle drift]

There was a saying in the age of unknown back then

But it culminates into 3 words

||HALO ITS REAAAAL||

[left bone]

the halo!!

the halo is real!!

[steady jolt]

I asked you earlier to knock this off

[echo current]

I wish there was a ctf only mode

Best gamemode

[fickle drift]

let him cook

[sharp veldt]

I get what you mean, about things being too organic. The Phantoms and a bunch of other Covenant vehicles look like bugs. I honestly hated 5's art style, but Infinite seems to have nailed a mix of classic Bungie and newer 343.

[bold sparrow]

Yeah

[fickle drift]

Discord implements feature to continue conversations
"How dare you use this feature to continue a conversation"

[echo current]

I mean it's just his personal preference

I can see how it annoys some people

[steady jolt]

I have the No Pings role, which means I prefer not to be pinged

I'm also staff, which means I really prefer not to be pinged unless it's an emergency

[echo current]

That too

[steady jolt]

It's also nearly 2am so I really rather not be pinged :)

[fickle drift]

if it is nearly 2 am for you this means you are british therefore your opinion has been DENIED!!!!!!!

joking of course but in all seriousness ermm

ok

[steady jolt]

Scottish, not British

[candid solar]

I'm pretty sure calling a Scot a Brit is a capital offense.

[ivory coyote]

Hmm, I shouldn't have missed the eaglestrike event

i wanna make a kreigs corp mog for that core

[steady jolt]

Calls for a Haggis pelting

With live Haggis

[pulsar cobalt]

Good core tbh

[ivory coyote]

i have the core just not the cool stuff

[civic walrus]

there was an event?

[ivory coyote]

idk

how was the kereberos helmet gained?

[pulsar cobalt]

Eaglestrike fracture event

[dapper kindle]

Anyone diamond or above?

[ivory coyote]

yep definitely never getting it lmao

fomo'd to oblivion

[pulsar cobalt]

Tier 20 on the event pass back on the event haha

I do hope 343 sorts it out so people can get the past event items

[civic walrus]

even if I need to pay for it it’ll be nice to at least know I can possibly get it

[candid solar]

Can't do it with that core. Kriegers use helmets that borrow from French lineages, not German.

[bold sparrow]

Same with much of their uniform.

[candid solar]

Armageddon's armor is closer.

[ivory coyote]

ah well

tenrai II next week? im counting that right?

Lacquered heartwood willb be up for grabs

[candid solar]

Tenrai III.

[ivory coyote]

neat

will work it off whule im finishing lone wolves, then im up to speed battlepass wise

[sharp veldt]

damn, is no-one playing campaign?

[robust nymph]

pp

[civic walrus]

what’s trash about it?

[fickle drift]

do u mean campaign or multiplayer

[echo current]

Bro got removed 💀

[fickle drift]

💀

[echo current]

My second monitor has died may it rest in peace 😢

[sharp veldt]

What did they say to get removed? lmao

[echo current]

Idk bro said the game was trash and then he was gone

[sharp veldt]

343 took it personally lol

[fickle drift]

frfr

[lusty mason]

Rip in peace that man

I'm gonna try halo 2 again later today

[sharp veldt]

campaign or mp?

[lusty mason]

I'm gonna throw myself against this brick wall until I finish it

[lusty mason]

Campaign

[echo current]

Mp great, never played the campaign

[sharp veldt]

you the one doing the heroic run?

[lusty mason]

The great journey keeps crashing

[lusty mason]

Haha

Yeah

I wish I wasn't

[sharp veldt]

well I'm just sat on the main menu all on my lonesome so if you wanna try doing it co-op we can suffer together lol

[lusty mason]

Oh no I've got a friend I'm doing it with

I'm also pressed for time

[sharp veldt]

ah fair enough

[lusty mason]

But I'm willing to play some other time for sure

[spring yarrow]

I will be pro .
I swear to god I will .

[lusty mason]

In retrospect I was a bit angry last night from the constant crashing

Still halo 2 even on heroic is hard

Wait what do you mean "the one doing halo 2 heroic"

Is that something people don't often try

[sharp veldt]

I saw someone earlier talking about how they were struggling with Halo 2 on Heroic

[lusty mason]

We're not struggling per se co op helps a lot with that

It's more the game is struggling

[spring yarrow]

I had a lot of issues with mcc recently

[lusty mason]

Apparently halo 2 LASO is completely insane

[spring yarrow]

Lagging, keyboard input latency

[sharp veldt]

Is it just me or have half the recent messages disappeared?

[lusty mason]

And only one person has ever verifiably beaten halo 2 LASO with no deaths and 25 have gotten past the first level with no deaths

[spring yarrow]

Y e s

Halo 2 Laso is a nightmare

[lusty mason]

It's making me rethink my choice of going back and doing them all again laso

[sharp veldt]

I still haven't done LASO, I don't have enough brain cells left for that lmao

[fickle drift]

Same here lol

[spring yarrow]

I would advise you to get lot of energy drinks, meditation, focus, and complete control of your emotions

[lusty mason]

Oh God the nade skull is gonna be so painful here

[fickle drift]

I always do Legendary campaign but that crap, it kinda haunts me lol

[lusty mason]

Brutes and others already nade spam enough

[fickle drift]

You got to be one with the Halo gods too.

[lusty mason]

I've legitimately turned a corner and immediately been killed by like 3 grenades

[sharp veldt]

What was the mission where you spawn in the prophets chamber?

[lusty mason]

Without the skull

[sharp veldt]

I think after the gravemind cutscene

[lusty mason]

Gravemind I think?

[sharp veldt]

I heard most people die instantly on LASO on that first bit

[spring yarrow]

Yeah you kinda have like 2 secondes or less before dying

[fickle drift]

Has anyone ever beat Laso before?

From #general-chat

[spring yarrow]

No

Never tried it, never will

[lusty mason]

The prophets: nothing can stop us now!

Chief:

[sharp veldt]

My brother did LASO on Halo 3 back in like 2009 lol, he said never again and I heard 3 is the easier one lmao

[lusty mason]

Johnson and the arbiter talking will still be the greatest thing ever

[fickle drift]

Not even Chief can beat Laso lol

Only lore accurate Chief can lol

[lusty mason]

Johnson makes everything better

[sharp veldt]

Every single MintBlitz video title be like:

[lusty mason]

Oh which reminds me

[fickle drift]

He’s your moral support through that hell

[fickle drift]

Pretty much

[lusty mason]

You should see my tag

Perfect

Hang on

But yeah my in game tag

[fickle drift]

Hanging lol

[sharp veldt]

He's become shampoo

[lusty mason]

Everything on my tag is johnson

[fickle drift]

Just notice your name is Johnson, pretty crazy

[lusty mason]

Seargant moustache is the best

[fickle drift]

You’re new name is Johnson & Johnson

[lusty mason]

Seargant

[forest lagoon]

A family company

[lusty mason]

I'm doing all the halos in order

And I'm not looking forward to 3

[forest lagoon]

Story order or release order?

[lusty mason]

Story

So reach first

1 is definitely the weakest of the original 3 for me

And yeah 3 is the best

[spring yarrow]

I need ideas for infinite videos to make, got any?

[fickle drift]

Here’s one: Why is Halo Infinite called Halo Infinite? 🤔

[forest lagoon]

How infinite is infinite? Is it actually finite?

[spring yarrow]

I love how sync you are both

[fickle drift]

Great minds think alike

[lusty mason]

Can we make server suggestions

[fickle drift]

Why aren’t the flood in Infinite?

[spring yarrow]

Being made thousands of times I think

[lusty mason]

Cause we don't have a "greetings!" Sticker and that's making me very upset

[cloud hearth]

maybe to keep the game rate Teen

[forest lagoon]

They dried up and became dehydrated

[forest lagoon]

Is there one in particular you have an idea for?

[fickle drift]

They look like popcorn and Spaghetti zombies

[lusty mason]

Elite greetings

Are gifs allowed

[lusty mason]

Lmao

[fickle drift]

[forest lagoon]

We have this

[fickle drift]

Hello everyone 🌞

[lusty mason]

Wavinggrunt is an acceptable substitute

Also himb

[spring yarrow]

We need a dabooey sticker

[lusty mason]

I think 3 is great but it makes me sad they went for a more serious tone

2 is really funny

Just a bit sad

[sharp veldt]

aight, i was just playing Ruby's Rebalanced with someone in LFG - Campaign and they randomly ended it and blocked me

[lusty mason]

When did h2a come out

Well when did mcc come out

2014?

This came out in 2014?

[limpid nova]

I got the achievement one final firefight, I've never done so many Assassinations. I swear the elites telegraph attacks I think I heard zulu kick or something

[lusty mason]

These cutscenes look amazing

Even by today's standards

Brb

[pliant hatch]

yes

[cursive snow]

Hello

I just joined so idk what to say

[fickle drift]

👋

[vapid siren]

well

turns out i CAN hang with the big boys

walshy pulled up as a random teammate

[near tree]

Hey hey
And he didn't have to carry you?

[vapid siren]

no

we were all pretty even overall and the match was honestly really close

[sharp veldt]

I'm tryna find someone to play with but LFG is deader than the Prophets

[bold sparrow]

SBMM doin its work.

Just my luck too, I finally get a game where I can spam grind the Shock Rifle...but my team looses anyway despite me getting covering fire.

[near tree]

That's super cool man

[dusky scarab]

I used to be in the fnaf community, and into fnaf

But with what's become of them

It made me come back to halo, even if the community is horrible imo, but somehow it's much better than fnaf's community

I guess you find a path in the weirdest of places

I still think fnaf with scott was amazing, but I just can't be there anymore because of how bad the games have grown to become, and with the community becoming way too toxic and twitter-like

[bold sparrow]

One is a series bloomed from an indie horror game that exploded well beyond even the creators attempts to control.
The other is a first person shooter of extensive pedigree that, while not the cream of the crop anymore perhaps, is still solid and overall stable.

Also the lore for one is best understood while intoxicated, and the other has several books. I'll let you decide which applies to which.

TBH any game that pulls the active attention of early string YouTubers is going to end up awkward. Especially if its an Indie game.

[dusky scarab]

The last one also applies to fnaf, with it also having a ton of books, halo just has some of the books

And I honestly did like the fnaf lore even when it was so complicated, even back then

I just think fnaf 6 is the true ending to fnaf

It was a great ending

But then, steel wool took over

And I think it just bloated the lore too much

[bold sparrow]

Wait, FNAF has books

Who the heck did they get to write for it?

[dusky scarab]

Sometimes it's was another writer, sometimes scott himself once in a while

[bold sparrow]

Self published lores probably the best way to go in truth.

[dusky scarab]

Scott can be a great writer, look at his older game desolate hope.

Fnaf he just had to go out on a whim

I'm glad that he's big, I'm inspired by him so much

I just think my time with fnaf needed to end

I needed to grow up

I'm 19 with a job

I can't be focusing on something like this anymore

And it's now caused me more pain being into it than being an outsider to it, especially when I made the people I used to look up to, hate me. I hated them too, even still somewhat now...

But I've moved on from them. And I needed to do the same with fnaf

[bold sparrow]

Halos lore is overall better anyway. Lot less complicated. Lot less weird.

Lot bigger in scope too which is good.

[dusky scarab]

It's way more organized anyway

And I really loved, and now again I love halo

And I'm new technically to halo

Like a year or two ago

[bold sparrow]

Never too late to get into a game series.

[dusky scarab]

It was right before infinite came out.

With MCC, then halo 5, and now with infinite

[dusky scarab]

I'm just sad I had to leave another in turn with finding peace with halo and its community

One I grew up with, in turn for one I'm gonna grow to hopefully love more

[grizzled gazelle]

Is 12v12 BTB/BTH Fiesta /Super Fiesta a thing in Infinite

[bold sparrow]

Yeah, its called Big Team Social and its a temp playlist.

[bold sparrow]

Read the novels. That always helps me appriciate it more.

[dusky scarab]

I really need to make an animation about how I feel about all of this someday.

After I grow out of my burnout from my art stuff...

Oh yeah, I also used to be into destiny 2 a lot too, but right after that bungie ruined the game apparently and I left it

Lots of money I spent on it too, but I kinda don't really regret my time with it

I have all I wanted from that game

I'm just glad that halo infinite is finally doing better

It's that, I've been having a hard time getting into other stuff as of late, and I might even have depression

Since it's also linked most likely with my motivation being dead in the water for art

[bold sparrow]

Sounds like burnout

Play some BTB.

[dusky scarab]

I mentioned that earlier too

[dusky scarab]

Maybe I should

[fossil skiff]

[exotic plover]

Think I found another thing relating to the number 7 within Halo. At the end of the song Epilogue, from Halo: Reach, there are exactly 7 seconds of silence

[novel pier]

Damn

[hard mural]

Hey fellas

I have a potentially controversial statement to make and I'd like you to say if you agree or disagree

Here it is:

I have a better way to deal with solo queuers and teams in ranked, and it is a follows:

Have a solos ONLY ranked arena playlist, and a duos-and-QUADS-only playlist

[fickle drift]

Yo how do you attach photos in show and tell?

[hard mural]

This will promote comms in the duos-quads playlist, where you will usually be able to expect duos to be comming w each other, and it will prevent solos from having to play partied teams

[hard mural]

Hit the plus button

[fickle drift]

Yea well it doesn't give me an option to attach photos

I only have stuff for stickers or gifs

[pliant hatch]

they already tried two separate ranked playlists like that, but they wanted a better experience so they combined them.

[hard mural]

Yeah but there's a huge difference between a solo-duos playlist and a solos only playlist

Because lots of people play in twos

Which in solos only would push them into the duos quads playlist

Leading to healthy pop in both

You'd get regular comms in quads-duos

And solos wouldn't have to play partied teams

[pliant hatch]

if you read between the lines, they combined the playlists cause of low population so I doubt they'd want two playlists again because of that.

[hard mural]

Only because barely anyone played the "open" playlist. Plus ranks were skewed because the open list was the defacto playlist for pc players

There will always be enough solo queuers. And duos being pushed into duos-quads would keep that one alive as well

It would hugely promote regular comms in matchmaking in a natural way

Building the comp community naturally

Plus disallowing squads over 2 above a certain rank is extremely stupid and doesn't solve the problem that solo players have

Below that rank

[real hemlock]

how many more days are left in this season?

also just hit diamond 1 in ranked so im happy

Interesting...
To the customization screen!

[bold sparrow]

Little over a month I think? Might be a month and a half.

[real hemlock]

oh i found it its 57 days

[bold sparrow]

Woah, 2 months, okay cool!

I am back

Just smaller. Much much smaller.

[fickle drift]

1984

[static orchid]

So got through a lot of the halo 4 story

I don't see why its hated

[fickle drift]

best halo for chief and cortana

[static orchid]

Yeah they made horrible decisions

[fickle drift]

Its gameplay was the weakest but the characters carried with the story

[static orchid]

Like ruining the sound of the magnum and changing the design of the battle rifle but overall it's great

[fickle drift]

its just a shame on how they wrote the didacts end

[static orchid]

The gameplay was almost like any halo gameplay

[fickle drift]

its similar to reach

[static orchid]

Other then you have new weapons and a big walking robot armor

[fickle drift]

i mean gameplay is when dealing with enemies

[static orchid]

It's also like halo 3

[fickle drift]

the prometheans are bullet sponges

[static orchid]

And halo ce anniversary

[fickle drift]

i hated ce

hate the slow walks back then

[static orchid]

I hated the beach mission

Went around the beach like 7 times before figuring out where to go

[static orchid]

In halo 2 so are the brutes

But halo 2 in my opinion is the best halo I played so far

[fickle drift]

brutes are weak hesdshots

[static orchid]

But still very resistant

[fickle drift]

Pistol alone is enough in pc

easy to aim

[static orchid]

Pc?

[fickle drift]

pc controls

[static orchid]

Halo is on computer?

[fickle drift]

well if you have aim assist that would be easier

[fickle drift]

mcc

on steam

[static orchid]

Lol sadly I don't think anyone does

[static orchid]

Best way to kill brutes for me was dual wielding the one pistols of the convenant that is automatic

[bold sparrow]

Thats why Im looking through the customization.
There's some that get close in Eaglestrike...

[static orchid]

Plus the beginning cutscene of halo 2 anniversary was amazing in my opinion

[spark spade]

I rarely hear from people how they massacred the mongooses horn

It’s so mid now

[glad copper]

God did

[real hemlock]

also when does ranked tactical slayer reset

is it a weekly reset type of deal?

if so i guess imgrinding to onyx

[dark lance]

It's here for four weeks, so you got plenty of time. Don't think it'll reset till it goes away.

[junior sand]

How is everyone?

[fickle drift]

Mid

[junior sand]

Why is that?

[fickle drift]

I randomly eepy lol

😹

[junior sand]

It's 4AM for me

[ivory coyote]

Woke up to find out i got employee of the month

[obsidian wyvern]

what was it the other week

employee of the day/week?

[ivory coyote]

well i got nominated last week, but it doesn't guarantee it

So people basically had a flame war in my name

[obsidian wyvern]

[brazen spade]

is coop lag problem in mcc get fixed?

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[thorn plaza]

Hi

[obsidian wyvern]

youre laughing here sol but i was crying lol

tbh i think we were lagging because of me, i was the only one in europe. when we played with h8 it probably found something in the middle which was better for the 4 of us

[spring yarrow]

It is I
I am awake!

[normal owl]

Hope everyone had a nice weekend.

[forest lagoon]

I did! Started a new game of grounded with my sister. Those spiders man....

[normal owl]

I just started that with a friend a week ago! We beat our heads against the wall until we could craft a good enough mosquito rapier to not be bullied by spiders.
Are you building a home yet?

[forest lagoon]

Yeah, not too far from the mysterious machine. It's got a nice overlook and we're going to upgrade it into a fortress for wave attacks

We stole a bunch of ant babies, then a wolf spider showed up inside the ant hill

Scared the crap out of me

[steep spire]

question has 343 ever mentioned adding an option to turn AA off or on in pc

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[normal owl]

Can I ask how you actually capture insects? We've done some incredible feats...yet can't figure out how to even tame an aphid.

[forest lagoon]

Yeah! You gotta give the aphid slurry, drop it on the ground and then after a few slurry meals he'll love you

[sharp oriole]

controller aimbot needs to be turned down abit. anyone agree ?

[forest lagoon]

Aphid - Plant Slurry
Weevil - Mushroom Slurry
Gnats - Spoiled Meat Slurry

[obsidian wyvern]

what is a slurry lol

[forest lagoon]

Like a smoothie but thicker?

[fossil skiff]

Pretty much

[obsidian wyvern]

oh lol, I was kinda joking about that in my head, didn't know I was right

[normal owl]

Ohhhh no wonder we were seeing crafting options for slurries. Thank you!

[spring yarrow]

lmao, it is only us, frenchs, who are complaining about shroud and all coming into infinite

like, " yeah, but does it really interest them ? or ar they only surfing on the buzz ? "

[obsidian wyvern]

why gatekeep, he tried it out and if he still didn't like it for whatever reason, it's whatever

[amber mirage]

I really thought that was a comment regarding the Shroud Screen equipment

[hasty zinc]

so did I lmao

[slim zealot]

Lol?

[formal halo]

Yo

[formal halo]

💀💀💀💀

👍

[brave helm]

i love it when someone who gets angry at their teammates then call me the f-slur after telling them to just go back to ranked 😊

[formal halo]

Me too 😃

[brave helm]

odd ik

[formal halo]

Check your messages

[formal halo]

[brave helm]

anyways their gt was just as bad

[formal halo]

Check your messages that I sent you

[brave helm]

what messages?

[formal halo]

Go to my profile and click on messages

[rare cedar]

Please don’t bait users here.

[brave helm]

im not trying to sorry

[rare cedar]

[slim zealot]

idk who's telling a gold 3 to "go back to rank" but you do you

[fierce stag]

shroud, dr disrespect and asmon and streaming halo infinite this week, is the game gonna finally gain popularity again

[slim zealot]

that summit 1v1 vs bound video was super funny

[cunning mango]

i hope so

[fierce stag]

hes been doing a ton of 1v1s with current and ex pros

[brave helm]

well regardless his reaction was uncalled for even the next match i saw him in he was being vile af

[slim zealot]

That's valid, good to see the mainstream recognize halo somewhat 😭

[cunning mango]

what do you mean?

[molten pelican]

today I will play my first game of infinite since the launch of season 4

[brave helm]

lmao

[slim zealot]

It's good for popular people give halo attetion. There's no on in the halo community that can stream and get 10k viewers nightly. That kinda exposure is dope for halo

[cunning mango]

true

i honestly feel like halo infinite is the best 343 can give us

[sharp oriole]

remove aim assist for controllers in competitve. then kbm players will come back

[slim zealot]

💀

[obsidian wyvern]

actually enjoyed that

[fierce stag]

is there actually aim assist for kbm or something? something feels off while hipfiring it kinda sticks

[near tree]

I think so, but I don't play kbm

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[near tree]

Or they could buy controllers and at last the world will be balanced and at peace

[brave helm]

would be cool if the weapon was a replika from signalis

[sharp oriole]

im not hating on the game. i love infinite. but the controller aim assist needs a nerf.

ALL IM SAYING ❤️

[dense pecan]

What is catalyst doing in ranked

[pulsar cobalt]

its a good map for rank that's why

[fresh urchin]

What time do they stream?

[swift quest]

Not sure about everyone on that list but shroud and summit were playing around 9 pm CST. Summits been playing a lot. Shroud has never liked any of the halos but he gave it a shot last night

[fresh urchin]

Ok, thank you

[muted rose]

Man I tried grounded and I just couldn’t get into it

Like I wanted to play it but I just didn’t enjoy it which is odd because normally I like games like that

I don’t even know what It is about it, it’s a solid game by all means I just stopped playing

[sweet mango]

Is anyone still getting BR jam issues>

https://streamable.com/uoye13

I have other issues I think are tied to the games horrendous desync problems but would gun jamming be another symptom of that?

[ivory coyote]

Summit being back on Halo is saying a lot

He generally knows his comp scene and playability

I remember he played D2 pvp and like he generally had no issues but even he thought it was unbalanced as hell lmao

A lot of destiny players were incensed by the statement but tbh he's not wrong. It's an impossible game to balance when everything is a variable

[half harness]

dead game

[ivory coyote]

Which one are you referring to cause it's a multiple choice here lmao

[fossil oak]

He maybe means D2

[muted rose]

Some of these dudes pop up occasionally on every game focused discord. Don’t feed the animals.

[queen remnant]

They been saying dead game all the time, ignore them

[fossil oak]

Well the game is def not dead rn it’s prob popping up now right?

I’ve seen hella vids from pop YouTubers saying Halo Infinite is actually good now

[ivory coyote]

Still has a daily high login amount

and yeah Halo is picking up

[fossil oak]

I just wonder if 343 is making the next halo or a new industry will

[muted rose]

I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again, as long as I can find a match for my challenges, I don’t care how many players are on.

[fossil oak]

That’s facts

[swift quest]

eh gotta care alittle bit. If the player count drops too low, the game shuts down.

[ivory coyote]

343 is still the designated core developer for Halo, so high chances it will still be them. Infinite is year 2 into a 10 year proposed plan, granted there was definitely hiccups but to abandon it now and make something new is a disaster of a play from all optics.

[fossil oak]

True

They’ve def turned infinite around

Hopefully one day we see ODSTS again tho 😓

[ivory coyote]

Seeing alpha-9 in a game again would be great, but since the rookie has been dead for at least a few years now the challenge would be who'd take his place as the protag

[muted rose]

Well it’s still going and there’s been no indicators that it will, so people can slam me over the head with steam charts and “halo is dead” YouTube videos for as long as they want, and I’ll take it because I can still find matches.

[half harness]

bro gave me a warning just for saying a sentence and gave me a reason that i was spamming

[sweet mango]

Halo wont die but I think Microsoft is moving away from it being the FLAGSHIP franchise

[fossil oak]

What else would be the flagship franchise

[ivory coyote]

Forza.

[sweet mango]

I think they are trying to figure that out

[fossil oak]

That’d be a bad turn lol

[sweet mango]

Bethesda games?

[ivory coyote]

And has been for quite a while since Forza has been showcased quite a lot.

[sweet mango]

Activision acquisition?

[amber mirage]

I think the idea of having a flagship franchise is dated

[sweet mango]

That too

[fossil oak]

What’s the game like on old gen?

[ivory coyote]

Infinite?

[fossil oak]

Last time I played was release of multiplayer

[fossil oak]

Yea

[half harness]

ratio😘

[sweet mango]

I still think if the game launched with what we had now it would have had legs. They had the biggest population in a Halo game ever at launch. If community creation tools were there we could have had some cool stiuff

[muted rose]

Infinite on Xbox one has significantly more issues, but is still playable.

[sweet mango]

But eveyrone quit by week 2

[muted rose]

It’s far better on series x

[sweet mango]

The game literally had like 3 playlists at launch lol

[fossil oak]

That’s the same thing people say about Battlefield 2042 and same thing happened to BF5

I mean it’s true tho

[sweet mango]

Its a big issue with games right now

[ivory coyote]

I've played both on X1 and Series X, there's definitely a serious difference. X1 simply cannot keep up. It just about stays in control but the game seriously pushes the hardware.

Things like crashing, suttering frames etc are far more common

[sweet mango]

If theres an infinite 2, you need to make sure it launches like "Halo 3" complete

[fossil oak]

Xbox Series S do a good job like the X?

[fickle drift]

File a ticket with mod mail, he's abusing mod power and hiding evidence thru deletion. He's an out of control staff member and we can fight back against his abuse by alerting authorities.

[ivory coyote]

I only have Series X, can't say how S performs.

[fossil oak]

Ah

[steady jolt]

Uh... no

That's now how this works

[sweet mango]

But theres a lot of brutal rumors right now with thats happening in the franchise so who knows. Turnover, tech layoffs, are we sticking with this engine... etc etvc

[round laurel]

Series S performs well.

[muted rose]

Infinite was going to be new gen exclusive, at first, wasn’t it?

[fossil oak]

I’d get a X but I got a ps5 couple months ago lol, but Ima sell my Ps4 pro and Xbox one s for a Xbox Series S

[ivory coyote]

Honestly you can get one second-hand at a decent price these days.

[fossil oak]

Mmm

[half harness]

i dont fight with mods that wont even leave their basement

[ivory coyote]

Unless it's been absolutely trashed it should run like a dream

[half harness]

i would rather just trool them

[ivory coyote]

This guy

[steady jolt]

Anyways

[ivory coyote]

lmao

[fossil oak]

Yo there’s a Xbox Gotham knights bundle for 173 on Amazon

“It’s on sale”

[muted rose]

The Arkham games are better, and cheaper.

[fossil oak]

This is for a series X

[ivory coyote]

Hahaha, oh dear. So our HR put out a post about social media posts about being careful about what you post and could violate NDA etc.

[dreamy stirrup]

still waiting on your "evidence" here

[ivory coyote]

And some guy literally just asked 'where can i find the NDA'

like hello we're an otusourcing company most of what we do is NDA'd lmao

[fossil oak]

Lol

[sweet mango]

My next hope for a big Halo update is for them to dramatically revamp BTB. But I don't have much confidence since their balance vision for BTB doesnt seem to line up with my own

[molten pelican]

ReBEl AND FiGHt bACk NoW WE cAn Win THiS WAr✊

[sweet mango]

Squad Battle is a great direction, just suffers from the same sandbox balance issues BTB has

[ivory coyote]

I mean, what are those issues specifically?

[fossil oak]

Yo Solis can I dm you rq?

[ivory coyote]

yeah sure go ahead

[sweet mango]

2 off the top of my head... Sniper being an anti vehicle weapon feels bad. Dynamos too powerful.

The banshee is trash unless you use mouse and keyboard and then its REALLY good

[granite sky]

yea the launch was very sad

all those people now gone

[sweet mango]

Ghost is still absurdly powerful, which I don't mind but other vehicles should be brought up to it or it needs to be toned down

BTB, to my knowledge, still has the "bug" where it drops uneven vehicles on each side

[ivory coyote]

Sniper is less anti-vehicle than it was a couple of games ago. In Reach it'd take less than an entire clip to drop a banshee, now it needs like 5 shots.

[sweet mango]

4 I think

[ivory coyote]

You can still body a wraith too since you can shoot the top off and take out the gunner

[sweet mango]

Yeah its great even against tanks

[forest lagoon]

Every time I finally get to pilot a wraith it feels like I get instantly taken down like that

[sweet mango]

Wraith took me a while to get down.

[fossil oak]

Did the drip get better in the game?

[sweet mango]

The way you aim the shot isnt consistent

[forest lagoon]

But if I don't take it, then it seems like the whole team ignores it and gives it to the enemy lol

[ivory coyote]

Ghost is anecdotal. Some games I'll get minced 5 seconds into getting one, others I'll dominate with it. Ghosts can't be 1v1'd unless you have anti vehicle stuff on you, and in most cases you need to bully the driver from all angles.

[sweet mango]

In previous games you sorta had to lead and arc your shot right?

In this game Ive found you should just aim at the player you wanna kill

it will do the arc for you

[ivory coyote]

However I will say that it is beyond logic that it can tank a skewer shot whereas banshee and hawk need only 1

[bold sparrow]

Shoot the wings off first, then nail em with the skewer.

[sweet mango]

Not only this, but I hate how it will beat a warthog which doesn't seem fair to me.

Hog takes 2 people to operate and is more restrictive in movement

[weary hound]

[sweet mango]

it should be rewarded with more power because of that

But its trivial to just mow down a gunner while you are in a ghost

[ivory coyote]

It still purports my main point, should the ghost be able to tank a gun that one shots aircraft?

Warthog taking 2 is fine because it's supposed to be a bit beefier

[sweet mango]

I don't understand hog health at all

Sometimes it can tank a stick

other times a stick kills all occupants

[forest lagoon]

I think it really depends on where the stick lands

[ivory coyote]

Depends where the grenade lands yeah

you can take out the driver and occupant if you get a direct stick on one of them

[sweet mango]

I also think with the advent of hitscan weapons we should give the gunner more armor. That armor can eventually be chipped off to reveal them kinda like it already does. But the issue is the little shield they give isnt good enough protection

[forest lagoon]

Like shooting the gas cans on the back do nothing (unless that was changed. I'm just remembering it from a halo myth busters video)

[sweet mango]

it is SO easy to kill hog gunners

[sweet mango]

*water cans 😉

[ivory coyote]

Hog gunners are disgustingly vulnerable yeah

like a couple of taps is all it takes to do them in

by all counts they should be able to pressure a ghost, not the other way around

[sweet mango]

yep

But you can get the jump on a ghost and it just needs to turn around and melt the gunner

and it will still have the majority of the health

[muted rose]

The chain gun for the hog can do some pretty serious damage

I think if you have a good driver then the gunner doesn’t need to be armored

[sweet mango]

It can but its hard to use for most people because it isnt hitscan

[muted rose]

If people would use the handbrake a lot of silliness in the hog could be avoided

[sweet mango]

I hardcore disagree, its not a good driver that makes the gunner survive. Its an inept other team haha

Like we said, its trivial to kill a gunner.

A good driver still helps though

[muted rose]

Fair enough, but the warthog design hasn’t changed much, what’s different now?

[sweet mango]

Hitscan weapons

which isnt new but this was an issue in Reach-Infinite

Whereas the Halo 3 hog was a MENACE

[forest lagoon]

It evaporates into a gas though. There. I fixed it

[sweet mango]

The balance issue with the hog you need to fix is that it takes 2 people to operate, it should be easier to get 2+ kills in it. And maybe its my MMR pushign BTB sweats but when we try to go on a hog run its very difficult to breach 2 kills wit it

whereas you jump in a ghost it feels like 5+ kill guaranteed

I mentioned this before but the banshee operating completley differently on mouse is not very good

[spring yarrow]

YEAH BOIIII

[ivory coyote]

that thing could take splaser shots like no tomorrow frrrr

[sweet mango]

I play with controller on PC, but when I get the banshee I start using the mouse lol
