Overwatch, this is ANVIL-1, Viscon on malignant exogens, requesting permission to go Daggers Free

`ANVIL-1, STERILIZE MALIGNANT EXOGENS. HAMMER DOWN.

Code: Lock | Cauterize | Stabilize`

This track includes a heartbeat which is taken from Bailey's Nova Prospekt theme from Half-Life 2. The marching snare is inspired by Chris Jensen's 'Storm' from the Half-Life: Opposing Force ost. The melodic ending might let you think of Bailey's ending theme from Half-Life 2: Episode Two 'Dark Interval'.

Hope you like it.

You can get this tra...

anyone else not getting any playlists to load in infinite mp?

tight remnant
#

one of the things i dont like about super fiesta and infinite's sandbox is how some of the variants are just worse than the normal weapons

#

did you restart your game?

heady raven
#

twice

quaint knot
#

Halo 3 is the best halo ever made and that's my opinion

tight remnant
#

My opinion differs quite

#

Hm, hard reset jd?

heady raven
#

idk im just gonna play mcc

slate lantern
#

Halo 3 is my second favorite, Halo: Reach with vanilla settings is my most favorite.

tight remnant
#

i prefer CU reach

#

Bloom feels gross to me

slate lantern
#

Bloom is basically SPREAD like in most FPS games, it's a good thing. I find TU somewhat unfair, I feel like I'm killing or getting killed too easily in most cases. Shield bleedthough works in the rest of the games but not in Reach.

crisp zinc
#

Yo guys, helped a buddy with LASO in Infinite. But he didn't get the achievement even tough all missions are listed with "mission complete+"

Any solution to this ?

slate lantern
tight remnant
#

Randomness is what's unfair

slate lantern
#

In causal games, it's totally fine. I can see how it can be annoying in competitive, I think zero-bloom fits there.

fossil oak
#

Just realized Shroud said Halo 4 was the best halo

fickle drift
#

dont let e girls distract you from the fact that halo is love and reaal

amber iris
#

You know halo infinite is starting to pick up the pace

#

Everyone’s been saying when 343 does this or when 343 does that it’s gonna revive and that never happened

#

But looks like the movement update has set it into a solid territory

#

Now that people are looking imagine they do something big like cross core armor or a big map update or something of the sort

amber iris
#

They did the plasma pistol dirty by taking away the vehicle EMP

#

But the unbound plasma pistol is somehow worse than a weapon that’s already bad

#

Which just makes it sting slightly more

#

Like all the bad guns or mediocre guns have WORSE variants

#

You’d think if a weapon has a lot to improve on then a variant would help it out but no

#

The ravager rebound manages to be worse than the ravager which I already hate

#

Of course the best variants are for all of the power weapons

#

I mean some of the variations make no sense at all

#

Like they don’t improve on a flaw they just give you a random upgrade

#

“The skewer’s weakness is its slow reload and small magazine size. To fix this, we made the bullets EXPLODE!!!”

#

Oh and sometimes the variants directly work against themselves

#

Like the rapid fire pulse carbine

#

If the pulse carbine’s main flaw is how quickly it overheats, the last thing I want is for it to do that quicker

#

Rapid fire carbine is still really good though

#

Didn’t realize I typed that much

Sonic is just a dramatization of real life sonny

I wouldn't be worried about mice/rats because there's a lot of neighborhood cats EXCEPT for there is a crazy lady who USED to live here but moved that comes Every. Single. Day. To feed them so they aren't hungry.
I saw a cat last year playing with a rat, it was in the cat's mouth and the cat was rolling around. Then the cat just spit it out, booped it on the head and walked away why

do yall think there will be full campaign crossplay support for mcc in the future? 😄

amber mirage
#

They mentioned it taking somewhere along the lines of 6 months of work per game at a minimum, so if it does, it'll be a while.

obsidian wyvern

hoping reach is next

#

and then go from CE to 4

amber mirage
#

You want to play Reach?

obsidian wyvern
#

we don't tell anyone I enjoy it in coop

amber mirage
#

After the lagfest from just the two missions we did in 3 and ODST, I don't think I wanna play more co-op.

winter flame
#

you cant really do high ping co-op

hallow oyster
#

Ello chat

winter flame
#

it depends a lot on the hosts connection I think though

stoic rapids
#

god I hope starfield is good

hallow oyster
winter flame
#

but i had a good experience with the host in Central US but as soon as we invited a guy in West US everyone experienced lag

#

which makes no sense to me since the host is the same but I guess its dependent on everyone's connection

hallow oyster
#

i have had bad ping issues while playing

#

fun thing is me and my friend both from eu

#

we also been realy geting folded by halo netcode for coop

#

i on my second playthru still we on break

winter flame
#

high ping isn't necessarily the issue since like I said playing co-op with my friend in Central US worked fine (im in the UK) but sometimes the latency is just so bad depending on who you invite

#

p2p just aint really ideal

#

basically without dedicated severs its never going to work for everyone i think

hallow oyster
#

realy hope 343 fixes netcode for halo ce and 2 maby one day

obtuse marten

and you 3 from were from NA

simply dont be in Europe Rev, easy solution

obsidian wyvern
#

when me and h8 played with icky and sol, the lag wasn't anywhere near as bad

obsidian wyvern
obtuse marten
#

we are in the same network - xbox and pc always lags

winter flame
#

i hear if you cap the FPS on PC to match the console player (60 or 120) it helps

obtuse marten
#

and also they should add aim asisst to mnk like they did in infinte

#

godammit

obtuse marten
winter flame
#

you can hide them with a content blocker like uBlock Origin or a userscript injecter like Tapermonkey

hallow oyster
winter flame
#

just google filter lists or userscripts for blocking youtube shorts, someone will have made one

#

a filter for ublock is probably easiest if you dont know what you're doing

sharp totem
#

why does it take so long to find a game in mcc

winter flame
granite sky
winter flame
#

half the reason i switched from console to PC is just because console has latency even in games with 120fps

#

if you're using VRR, 60 feels smooth enough after a little bit of time to adjust from what your use to

#

granted 60 without vrr or vsync is pain

#

but i mean these are games designed for 360. you can't expect p2p co-op to magically work across xbox and pc with your PC uncapped tbf

muted rose
#

Haha the reason my pfp and status in Einstein is a funny story, it’s doesn’t have anything to do with the whole “literally me” Kinda thing

@near tree

obtuse marten

imagine we could play splitscreen campain on pc :<

muted rose

And since I don’t have nitro I just changed my whole profile pic instead just that server

winter flame
obtuse marten
#

you can use nucleos coop mod

#

but an officall coop would be way nicer

obtuse marten
hallow oyster
#

2h my fav

winter flame
#

with hyperthreading now standard and much better integrated graphics i dont think split screen is a huge deal

#

other then the anniversary titles, the games will run on most newish hardware

obtuse marten
#

you just need like 32gb of ram and should be fine

winter flame
#

lol wut

obtuse marten
#

also like i mentioned you can play splitscreen pc with nucleus but yea

#

halo 4 takes a lot of ram

winter flame
#

you might need 32GB for nucleus but I'm pretty sure the games run fine with 8GB

obtuse marten
#

i dont say it will use all of the 32, you would be just better with 32 instead of 16gb

winter flame
#

i dont think so

obtuse marten
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

halo 4 takes like 10 or 12gigs

#

also its 2023, 16gb is just to less

winter flame
#

its really not though lol?

obtuse marten
#

it is

winter flame
#

i honestly dont know a game that saturates my 16GB

obtuse marten
#

especially if youre using multi monior

#

its not the game, its the other things your pc does 😄

winter flame
#

are you sure you aint running out of vram and its spilling over or something?

obtuse marten
#

im still fine with 16gb but 32 will be the thing to go

winter flame
#

oh i just close everything when im playing games

obtuse marten
#

well, imagine you dont need to close all

winter flame
#

well it depends if its a game im trying to get the highest FPS or not

#

if its single player i will just cap at 90fps because with VRR I can barely feel much difference above that

#

but if its MP i will close everything and only cap to avoid CPU bottleneck

#

Halo 4 only using around 2GB of RAM

#

if its higher then that for you, it might be a memory leak issue

stoic pulsar
#

not full true

#

in mcc halo 4 and ce is good with mouse and keywoard

#

and infinite i think now is balanced

winter flame
#

dont take the bait mate, its just cope because he died to a kbm player

empty salmon
stoic pulsar
#

also if you want full mouse and keywoard come to halo custom edition or h2v

#

and there is another one but Microsoft kill it

winter flame
forest lagoon
#

split play half controller half mouse has entered the chat

winter flame
#

oh nevermind i thought you meant switching not using both lol

forest lagoon
#

Using the perceived advantages of both I shall take of and become full advantage!!!

winter flame
#

you are even more cool

forest lagoon
#

I mean I switch it up a bit too. I gotta have some excuse for my mediocrity fingerguns

winter flame
#

i just find first person shooters are generally more enjoyable on kbm but halo is exceptionally fun with a controller

#

whereas 3rd person i prefer controller because you can see your character and so being able to control how fast they move makes much more sense i guess

stoic pulsar
#

@winter flame nice profile

your win ratio is 48.6%

hasty zinc

give me Infinite with the optimization of 4 plz

fickle drift
winter flame
#

i guess it depends if your CPU or GPU bottlenecked

Sure we can always wish life was easier/more fun, but any difficulty in my life has been absolutely nothing compared to the challenges that many others face every day. I sponsor some kids in very poor parts of the world, and seeing their circumstances on a regular basis continually reminds me that I have nothing to complain about at all.

Why of course! Everyone can find something to be grateful for, if nothing more than the gift of life. Any you're here in America, the land of opportunity, and a lawyer too! And you've been given opportunities to serve others as well. Sounds like you have a lot to be thankful for. I wasn't trying to imply that you should be basking in self pity
But hardship can strike anyone, and often grows amidst blessings. There's no shame in it either

I always thought PC was a bigger market than console, Google confirmed it

PC is where gaming began. It will always stay strong

winter flame
#

im basically just routing for Valve to push back into the console market after devs start paying attention to SteamOS

#

then Xbox and Playstation might actually start being a bit more consumer focused

#

in fairness to Sony, they're on top so they dont really have to care. IMHO Xbox should be doing more to regain share then just buying franchises

jaunty yoke
#

I'll always say Xbox is more consumer friendly as of now by encouraging backwards compatibility and "play anywhere"
But PS fans make of fun of that with things like "Xbox only has old games"

#

Or "PC has everything Xbox has"

winter flame
#

Xbox are definitely more consumer friendly I would say but there's a lot further they could go

#

Sony are basically Apple at this point with how they position the Playstation brand

Not to mention that PCs are more of a consumer need than consoles which also have an ability to play some games. (Or at least PCs used to before tablets took over a lot of stuff)

jaunty yoke

But this is what frustrates me you know
Red Dead Redemption is backwards compatible and you can have it for less than 50 dollars, much better option than the recent Switch and PS4 ports
You see, things like that are positive Xbox points that people just gloss over
That's a major selling point if you ask me, and somehow the Series X is still in 3rd place, WHY

what we're seeing now is really just a result of having only two players in the high-end console market. their only real motivation is to get you to buy in based on how many titles they can offer you that the other console cant. If they both spent less money on stopping games being avaliable to consumers who dont own their console, maybe the quality of games wouldn't be at a lowpoint.

#

maybe they will do a 40fps mode who knows

jaunty yoke
#

From what I recall in the interview, Todd Howard said during playtesting, they saw that yes, Starfield could go higher than 30 fps on Xbox, but it couldn't maintain a stable rate, and they didn't want to sacrifice visuals and performance so they locked it at 30

forest lagoon

But things are still prettier with my Xbox because I have a better quality TV than I do for a monitor

pseudo egret

#

I wonder how many calculations starfield is making on the CPU side to run. How massive is this game?

jaunty yoke
#

Even if I would have preferred at least 40
30 fps has one advantage: you can have more objects on screen
With Halo games for example, especially those with the Flood, if you have it running at 30 you can have almost double the amount of Flood spawned in the map as opposed to 60fps

jaunty yoke

Have no doubts
Even with all the new technology, if you want a new Halo game where waves of Flood overwhelm you and the map, you're gonna have to set the game at 30fps for that

pseudo egret
#

The Series X has a very good GPU though so they can push high res even if they are cpu limited, Hellblade 2 for example will most likely run at 60FPS and so will Avowed and other games that don't have high NPC count and interactivity like Starfield

pseudo egret

Nice

343/Playground Games, Turn 10 and The Coalition are actually kind of talented imo, I have no idea how they manage to get 60FPS on the Xbox One CPUs, those were actually terrible.

winter flame
#

at this point there's just so many great games you can play at 40fps+ with relatively cheap hardware i would just wait for an upgrade to play a game that i cant run above that. it was different when every open world console game was 30fps and you needed a high end PC to do better.

# normal owl Live service games are where it's at.

But making studios who traditionally made single-player games to make live-service is kind of a bad decision unless the studio heads want to do it.

The most recent live service I've been playing now is Exoprimal
And it's alright, but it has the same problem every live service has at launch, there's very little content

pseudo egret
# amber mirage Maybe the studio did want to do it.

I think they didn't because Raphael Colantonio the director and writer of Prey (2017) left to form his own company in 2019, so he probably wasn't happy with the game, but the other guy who I forgot his name who was the director of Dishonored 2 stayed for Redfall.

and Redfall could have been a badass game, is the thing.

Such a shame.

you're not losing money if the money being invested into it will result in greater returns. But games get a lot of hype and the management just assume it can't flop pretty much

jaunty yoke
#

Yeah

pseudo egret
#

But you are right live-service games are where it's at right now, Sony's big triple a titles are actually not making that much money if at all, the money comes from people who use Playstation and buy other games and micro-transactios on it where they get a 30% cut of every purchase made on Playstation consoles. So they are now pivoting to making more live-service games

Earlier today i saw a one of those advertisments on the xbox dashboard and it was a Halo one. It had a bunch of game covers on it like Infinite and MCC and stuff. But the thing that is confusing me is that it had the game covers for the Xbox 360 versions of Halo 3 and ODST and more. When I clicked on it i was met with an error screen. Im not sure if this means they'll put the classic versions of the games up for sale again or the person who made the advertisement picture made a mistake.

A part of me is sad about that as I have a lot of fond memories about that journey through an epic single-player self-contained game. But I understand how it's inevitable: the compensation for a quality traditional game is paying full price for it. The compensation for a live service game is paying for digital content once in a while. And we've more or less decided as a consumer base that we will not accept floating the shelf price up to actual inflation-adjusted amounts for games.

@RingstadTTV on Xbox.... Need 1 for ranked matches

Anyone know how I get halo MCC controls back to before the most recent update?

safe dawn
#

sup

rapid pivot
#

On halo 2 I gotta press Y to duel wield and use d pad to switch nades. I wanna go back to holding LB to duel wield and tapping it to switch nades.

#

When the latest update installed it changed the controls. Anyone to get it back to how it was before?

amber iris
#

What are some ways you guys get credits?

safe dawn

#

Infinite

#

I’ve been free to play for like 2 years

#

Someone gave me credits for a battle pass once but I bought the season 1 pass and it doesn’t have credits in it so I’m back to 0

queen remnant
#

There is no other way, unless you pay any of the season 2, 3 and 4 that those gives you 1000 credits each of those

amber iris
#

Ugh

#

Oh well

#

I’ve already maxed 2

#

I should have gotten 3 and 4 and then gotten 1

#

Or just never gotten 1 and continued getting the following passes

#

Oh well

#

Mark V is still my favorite core

safe dawn
#

its only $10 USD

You can customize your keybinds, both KBM and Controller, on MCC

Thanks.

So am I the only one this happened to? Was this not a feature of the update? some kind of glitch? It happened to my parents as well on a totally different Xbox.

#

They’re old and get confused by the changing buttons.

rare cedar
#

It may have been done to enable the customization for the keybinds.

Season 4 pass is mid anyways

safe dawn
#

its not that bad

amber iris
#

Eh

safe dawn
#

it has a rather nice armor set tbh

amber iris
#

I do like hazmat

safe dawn
#

wasnt talking about that but ye

#

for mk7 it has the emerson tactical parts

amber iris
#

Oh

#

Thought you meant the featured core

My mom is very slowly playing through Halo 2 solo campaign on normal. Which is pretty impressive since she’s been playing Halo and console games in general for less than a year. She recently beat Regret. After she beats the game (or gives up) the three of us will move on to Halo 3 co op.

safe dawn
#

meh, it would be better if it wasnt all behind the paid pass

rapid pivot
#

Real bummer 5 and Infinite don’t have split screen since we planned on doing 3, ODST, Reach and 4 together. With two on one screen and one on another. Would have been fun to do 5 and Infinite that way.

amber iris
#

Nothing about 5 is fun except turning it off

#

Ok that’s a bit of an exaggeration

#

But I still don’t like it

#

I hate you Locke you stink

rapid pivot
#

Not a big fan of 4 and 5 either.

amber iris
#

I do like 4

hasty zinc
#

that makes sense, it's easy to like the best game in the franchise

safe dawn
#

i dissagree, 4 and 5 are awesome

fickle drift
#

Tbh halo 4 is the only halo game that I don’t like much

safe dawn
#

only problem with 5 is the lack of customization ability

amber iris
#

The campaign in halo 5 ruined the experience for me

rapid pivot
#

I enjoy both of them. Just not in comparison to the classics. I thought Infinite nailed it in a lot of ways and dropped the ball in others. But it feels true to Halo. 4 and 5 felt kind of like an insult to Halo. Changed art style, music style, character presentation etc. Became a melodramatic soap opera. Took the mystique of forerunners and squandered it.

safe dawn

#

Ok listen

#

First of all, Locke can go die in a ditch

hasty zinc
amber iris
#

The writing for the story is honestly kinda pathetic

rapid pivot
#

I also despise how Halo went from a game where you could explore any place you could manage to reach - to a game that punished you for exploring and literally kills you just for trying

safe dawn
amber iris
#

Sick

safe dawn
#

bc infinite boss has his helm

safe dawn
queen remnant
#

That doesn't mean he is dead

#

Like at all

safe dawn
#

locke was a decent character

queen remnant
#

We still don't have any confirmation about it basically

amber iris
#

But there was NO reason to root for him

rapid pivot
safe dawn
queen remnant
#

Or not

safe dawn
#

:|

amber iris
#

I just do not like Locke at all

fickle drift
#

Like when Atriox crushed Douglas' helmet amirite
He's totally unalived now

amber iris
#

My favorite part of the game is when chief beats the crap out of him

fresh urchin
#

Brutes are known for being very merciful especially to Spartans

hasty zinc
#

suit gets damaged from battle, locke ditches it, grunts find armor, give to brute leader, brute lies that he killed him and tells grunt to spread the word via propaganda towers

#

ez

safe dawn
#

and atriox didnt keep the helmet

amber iris
#

Speaking of chief, did the writers literally just forget about him???

queen remnant
#

He might be dead or might not, so still no confirmation about it

amber iris
#

The main character of the franchise who has one of the biggest legacies in gaming history is in 3 missions of his own game

#

oh we talking about Halo 2 now? smirkle

rapid pivot

In CE there are no invisible walls. I think there’s literally one in the entire game and you can even bypass it if you want. In 2 they started to add some but for the most part - you could go anywhere. 3 started to add too many barriers but still, you could explore a lot. Reach is when they added awful kill timers.

amber iris
#

I mean he’s in it but the spotlight is basically completely stolen

queen remnant
#

So Halo 2

#

Or Halo 5

amber iris
#

Halo 5 not halo 2

rare cedar
safe dawn
#

WHEEZEE

amber iris
#

The arbiter and chief share halo 2 completely half and half, both have compelling backstories, and gameplay differences

#

Meanwhile with Locke, he plays the exact same, lame narrative, very much a punk

hasty zinc
#

half and half KEKWHYPERR

queen remnant
#

Say that to the people back then

In Halo 3 on The Storm there are some invisible barriers in terrible spots where if you jump in certain areas you are pushed back down.

Yeah he did

hasty zinc
#

length comes into play too, not just number of missions

queen remnant
#

One billion small missions for Arbiter

amber iris
#

The reason arbiter has invisibility is because if you get caught with your pants down in heroic or legendary you are dead on the spot
