[spare oak]

Why not

[static orchid]

Weren't they wiped out in 3?

[grim glacier]

The Flood never dies

[static orchid]

When I murdered some of the flood it seems like they die

[grim glacier]

They come back to life with a tiny flood form

[spare oak]

I think the next halo game is going to be about the same ring and them finding some other big bad guy that wasn’t in the first game and them having to kill him and the ring

Or something like that

[grim glacier]

Maybe there won’t be a new halo game, in that case it would only be a DLC for infinite campaign

Making a entire new game would take years

[spare oak]

They said they don’t plan on having a dlc

Just updating the newest game

[grim glacier]

That’s it

I’m leaving halo (jk)

The idea to still updating the game sounds awesome, but let’s just say that they can’t keep updating a single game forever

[dusty moon]

there gonna make an ODST style game then

oh wait no dlc

[grim glacier]

A spin-off?

[spare oak]

Does anyone remember the cod vs halo battle? Halo lost so badly

[pulsar heron]

what is an update if not downloadable content (im being silly, to be clear)

[grim glacier]

It’s something new my child

Something we never seen before

💀

[pulsar heron]

i'm no child but you have opened my eyes

[grim glacier]

Ikr

Just being silly

Bring back halo 5 helljumper helmet 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[spare oak]

Halo 5 had an ok multiplayer

[grim glacier]

Warzone was the best

[candid solar]

The witching hour?

[elfin glacier]

one letter off

[pulsar heron]

i had a lot of fun with halo 5's multiplayer. it's in my top 3 halo MPs

[candid solar]

Based

[spare oak]

What ur first

Halo 3 is the top dog

Or halo 2 both were really good

[candid solar]

Halo 3's near the bottom, 2nd only to Halo 2.

Halo 2 being by far the worst by virtue of having none of the saving graces 3 has short of funnier ragdolls.

[rain mist]

Ah, dear interlocutor, I must respectfully disagree with your assertion that Halo 2's ragdolls are the "worst" in the series. While Halo 3 certainly boasts its merits, let us not dismiss the unique charm of Halo 2's ragdoll physics. You see, what some might consider shortcomings, I perceive as a certain whimsical artistry.

Halo 2's ragdolls possess a certain eccentricity, a whimsy that adds a distinctive flavor to the battlefield. Their unpredictability and unscripted acrobatics have been the source of countless memorable moments, fostering an environment where hilarity thrives. While the mechanics may not be as refined as in Halo 3, this inherent quirkiness provides a different dimension of entertainment.

In essence, my dear friend, the beauty of Halo 2's ragdolls lies not in perfection but in their ability to evoke laughter and spontaneity. It's akin to appreciating a vintage piece of art—flawed, perhaps, but with an allure all its own. So, let us not be too quick to dismiss the peculiar charm that is Halo 2's ragdoll ballet, for in the world of gaming, diversity of experience is a treasure in itself.

[candid solar]

I'm saying Halo 2's ragdolls are funnier than 3's.

They've funny. The game's not very fun to me but the ragdolls are amusing.

Mostly the backflip.

[rain mist]

Ah, I see your point now, and I must concur with your sentiment. The comedic prowess of Halo 2's ragdolls, particularly the quintessential backflip, is indeed a distinctive source of amusement amidst the game's broader tapestry.

[odd sky]

I am delighted that both parties have successfully arrived at a harmonious accord.

[rain mist]

My good friend, may I inquire, what are your thoughts on Halo Infinite's ragdolls in comparison to their predecessors? Do they maintain the same delightful comedic flair, or have they taken on a different, perhaps equally charming, persona within the evolving world of Halo?

[odd sky]

I am equally intrigued to ascertain your perspective regarding this subject. @candid solar

[candid solar]

They're pretty damn good, especially the Mangler and Skewer ragdolls.

Mangler ragdolls tend to make the Spartan drop and flop to the ground absurdly hard considering what they died from, and it's typically like a slapstick routine where they hit everything possible on the way down.

[rain mist]

Ah, your assessment of Halo Infinite's ragdolls, particularly those associated with the Mangler and Skewer, brings a smile to my gaming heart. It appears that the tradition of whimsical and entertaining ragdolls continues to thrive in the latest installment of the franchise.

Might I inquire, my astute companion, what are your impressions of the intricate coding that bestows such wackiness upon the ragdolls in Halo Infinite? Do you find the technical wizardry behind their absurd and entertaining movements to be a testament to the developers' artistry?

@candid solar forgot to @ u mb

[candid solar]

It's aight.

[weary lodge]

i got a question but, what happens if you play all halos on legendary ?? bc ima do it today

[carmine fractal]

Nothing

You get achievements and a special ending cutscene for completing the entire game on it

[weary lodge]

bruh 😭

[pulsar heron]

hard to say. i think 3, reach and 5 are all tied for me. 4 would probably be up there too if i had really played matchmaking to any significant degree

[weary lodge]

someone said b4 that, u can get a special skin on halo 5 or something, if u beat all of them

[carmine fractal]

Never heard of such

[pulsar heron]

i've heard of people wanting that, but never heard of that being an actual thing i'm afraid

[candid solar]

Helioskrill.

[pulsar heron]

if you get to rank 152 in halo 5 you get a coating in infinite, perhaps that's what you heard?

[weary lodge]

yes that

[weary lodge]

i dont think so

[pulsar heron]

oh, the armour. i was thinking skin as in gun paint :p

[weary lodge]

oh lol

silly

[pulsar heron]

i do have a tendency to be quite silly, yes

[lone jacinth]

Man I been watching Red vs Blue

Funny

[civic walrus]

first time?

[carmine fractal]

Sure had its fair share if behind the scenes controversy too

Of

[lone jacinth]

Byeah

[carmine fractal]

Jerma

[civic walrus]

you’re in for a real treat

[carmine fractal]

The meeting of the byeahs

[lone jacinth]

I used to watch the red v blue video that has Cant Hold Us. When I was a kid

[lone jacinth]

Real

[civic walrus]

the only behind the scenes I wanna see is how the did the thing with lopez’s head

[faint mantle]

What a strange looking Cindershot.

[umbral loom]

🗿

True tho

[candid solar]

Plz bring my baby back

[haughty crypt]

well the image on this page is actually a Plasma Caster from Halo 5: Guardians

not Cindershot

[cedar turret]

A better weapon

[icy ridge]

🥱

[candid solar]

I should.

Stop playing Darktide so much.

I'm gonna burn myself out if I keep on it.

[elfin glacier]

me with almost any game i play

"oh boy this game is fun time to play it for 2 months straight then get burnt out and never touch it again"

i keep doing this to myself
i never learn

[fossil skiff]

Sims games in a nutshell. Haven’t touched it in 4 years

[candid solar]

What sucks is that next month they completely overhaul the system for skills

I don't wanna burn out before then, but this game is so damn good.

[lyric burrow]

ffffs. tac slayer at 100+ ping is literally unplayable, would be nice if i could get a match with reasonable ping for once??

[candid solar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGBOeLdm-1s

[forest lagoon]

I do this but get random times when they become my main game again

[lyric burrow]

i can, AND I WILL! UNGABUNGA

[lyric burrow]

seriously i'm just trying to get a single killing spree for my weeklies and i haven't been able to for like 5 matches in a row lol.

no challenges, fine enough, challenge up? literally turn into a potato
edit: nvm i got one. apparently all i needed to do was complain here

[candid solar]

Glad Discord could help.

[lyric burrow]

thank you! complaining here netted me 3 in a single match, i really should've done this sooner

[forest lagoon]

[rare cedar]

[near tree]

I need to try that sometime

This sucks! I can't get a single kill (I don't have access to my Xbox atm)
All I wanna do is get a win or two, and I can't even do that. Bungie would never let this happen.

[candid solar]

This sucks! All I want to do is have GEN2 MJOLNIR in Halo Infinite (I don't have access to my Halo Infinite atm (I haven't opened it))
All I wanna do is get a new core or two, and I can't even do that.

[lyric burrow]

clearly someone here works at 343 and loves me ❤️

[near tree]

Maybe
But they must not love me
It didn't work...

[lyric burrow]

i am the only beloved

there can only be one!

[wise stag]

Who still plays reach slayer

[candid solar]

Reach
🤢

[rare cedar]

[lament solar]

😈

[coarse marten]

Hello

[lament solar]

hi

[worthy ginkgo]

Heya

[stone prawn]

Wrong one

[worthy ginkgo]

Woah someone chose violence

[jaunty yoke]

Name one reason to keep playing legacy Reach when you already have Reach on MCC

[stone prawn]

Mah bad

[worthy ginkgo]

All good

Just to experience the game as it launched and to see all the beautiful menus and UI again

[jaunty yoke]

Not a very strong reason all things considered

[worthy ginkgo]

It’d would be hard for me to play the full campaign that way but I could do firefight or see how long I could last in the last mission

Lone Wolf

[jaunty yoke]

Lone Wolf in on MCC too

[worthy ginkgo]

Been playing too many cool campaign mods to really do it classic anymore anyway

Ya but if I was only going to play 1 mission on the Xbox 360 version of the game that’s the one I would play

[jaunty yoke]

I've seen so many cursed Halo videos that now normal Halo feels like it is the cursed one

[worthy ginkgo]

I don’t like the cursed ones but the mythic overhaul is legit

Might play that when I get home from work

Or starfield idk

[bold sparrow]

You fool, you cannot kill a game.
Its like trying to kill the Flood; all you can do is starve it to death.
And even then, it wont always work.

As Halo fans are like the Endless and the neural physics wave merely crashes over us without causing any issues.

Those less interested have a tendency to kind of just keel over as the NP wave fries their entire nervous system but we just try to ignore that

[dire spade]

guys you know with co op campaign, do they balance it so it’s harder the more members you have?

[jaunty yoke]

Nope

The only, and I repeat, ONLY mission that changes if you play coop is Lone Wolf

Every other mission in every game is the same regardless of difficulty

[haughty crypt]

I feel like 343i needs to take the Tunguska Iteration syringe to fix the reputation of Halo series going forward

[jade gust]

I don't think a freak explosion that happened in the middle of the Siberian wilderness is the solution

[foggy path]

Anyone wanna play the Infinite campaign coop?

[faint mantle]

#lfg-campaign

[dusty dove]

Add and follow me on xbox live Player1Login

[foggy path]

Im on pc cuz I suck on Controller

And my most modern Xbox is a 360

[brazen locust]

is this discords voice channels dying again 😦

[obsidian wyvern]

it's really early/late rn

[haughty crypt]

I meant this thing from Crysis 2 that causes Nanosuit to fully interface with Ceph Nanospores in order to reprogram to go against Ceph instead of humans

[neon halo]

All the kiddies are sleepi rn cuz school

[brazen locust]

school

[neon halo]

All the men are playing Armored Core

[brazen locust]

L

[jade gust]

I don't see how that's the solution either

[haughty crypt]

besides the joke, yep

[jade gust]

???

[dusky widget]

Who tf did interface for Halo Infinite multiplayer? Who thought it was good idea to put 2 ranked modes on the two ends of gamemode list?

[obsidian wyvern]

I believe the ranked mode at the top is rotational and the one at the bottom is permanent

but I am also not a fan of the layout

[plain lynx]

Hi

[dusky widget]

Random question of the day
What Halo is most underrated and why?

[pulsar heron]

that one mountain dew promo king of the hill thing they did for h4. not that i knew it existed until way later

[clever sun]

easily odst

[warm fiber]

Odst because some people think it’s crappy either because of the lack of story or because you don’t play as master chief but I think it’s pretty good and worth a play

[dusky widget]

Reminds me of Sonic Unleashed with (almost) the same reason. Say, in ODST was also differing from main series, giving actually pretty decent ideas but community not liking it at it's release?

[fickle drift]

Completed halo ODST today

Now Halo 4 left

[fickle drift]

Halo 4 is pretty good imo, other people say it isn't but the story is still really good imo

hope you like it!

[hasty zinc]

it's so mid

[fickle drift]

I dunno man I feel like if Halo as a franchise ended 4 would be a perfect way to end the main Halo "Master Chief" plotline

[hasty zinc]

it's the worst one by far

[fickle drift]

erm... did we forget that Halo 5 exists and a bunch of people hate it for reasons?

[forest lagoon]

Are you ok?

[fickle drift]

personally I feel like Halo 5 isn't the worst game ever, if anything Hunt Down the Freeman is FAR worse.

same with 4

[hasty zinc]

I'm just messing btw, 4 is my favorite in the franchise

[fickle drift]

oh lol

yeah I don't detect sarcasm all that well lol

[hasty zinc]

it's not your fault. I purposefully made my comments seem serious

[fickle drift]

fair enough

[hasty zinc]

that's why sky asked if I was ok

because I usually stan H4 pretty hard in here

[queen remnant]

Sorry Aegis but H4 mountain dew is better

[fickle drift]

I played the Halo Digsite sandbox level thingy on my Steam Deck just now, god bless the Steam workshop

[hasty zinc]

https://giphy.com/gifs/Q8Dubr4o23mSc

[hasty zinc]

it's awesome isnt' it?

[fickle drift]

yep!

[hasty zinc]

finally being able to play this stuff after seeing videos on it for decades is wild

[fickle drift]

I already played it on my main PC but being able to play it portably as well via Steam Deck is literally insane

[warm fiber]

What is the most mid halo game

[queen remnant]

Reach

[fickle drift]

Hunt Down the Freeman 🤣

thats a joke lads

[harsh vector]

🔥game

best game of all time easily 100%

[fickle drift]

nah that title goes to Half-Life 2 m8

[harsh vector]

hunt down the freeman basically half life 3….

[fickle drift]

Erm... have you played Entropy Zero 2?

[harsh vector]

i havent yet actually

been planning on it for a while but never got around to

[fickle drift]

its basically HL3 in disguise

[harsh vector]

heard its really good though

[steady jolt]

For me, Halo 3

[fickle drift]

yeah, Halo 3 plot-wise felt like a downgrade from Halo 2

[hasty zinc]

it def was

[fickle drift]

the change in the Prophet of Truth's voice didn't help either

[hasty zinc]

his voice changed as well as his entire character

[fickle drift]

yeah

[molten pelican]

more mid than 5?

[hasty zinc]

he went from an actually interesting character to generic sci-fi religious zealot villain

[fickle drift]

uh oh you are about to get noped by stckr m8

[molten pelican]

ping off lol

[fickle drift]

oh lol

[steady jolt]

I much prefer 5 over 3

Had way more fun

[molten pelican]

I see, I get that multiplayer wise

[steady jolt]

Campaign too

[candid solar]

I get that in every possible way.

[harsh vector]

5 looks so much fun... waiting for the day it gets fully ported to pc 😔

[forest lagoon]

I didn't know if it was some prank day I wasn't aware of or if you might've hit your head

[queen remnant]

The voice is kinda fine but it hurted a lot of the direction they went with him

[hasty zinc]

I mean you get to run down the front of a guardian while it's standing up, I'll never forget doing that mission the first time

[fickle drift]

agreed

[molten pelican]

heh

[queen remnant]

I still enjoyed more 3 than Reach tho

[steady jolt]

Gameplay in Halo 5's campaign was awesome, ground pounding grunts, smashing through walls, the Mantis

[candid solar]

The cool setpieces in 5 get waysided in favor of complaining. It's a massive shame.

[fossil skiff]

I have a clip where my friend ground pounded me off of it and I just went flying into oblivion

[hasty zinc]

I legit played through the campaign in one sitting at midnight release

[molten pelican]

It was better than 4s bullet sponge enemies

[forest lagoon]

It did feel really cool to blast through stuff

[hasty zinc]

it was fun

[fossil skiff]

Now that I think about it, I got sent into oblivion several times in co-op

[steady jolt]

I'd rather fight a million Wardens than play Cortana again

[hasty zinc]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ford-truth-yup-fact-q5VgPxwf8gzxyeUJrz

[molten pelican]

cortana makes me wanna scream

warthog run afterwards tho

[queen remnant]

Halo 5 campaign despite the story in general it had a lot of cool stuff

It's just fun

Also the locations was neat too

[hasty zinc]

agreed

[molten pelican]

that one intro cutscene I rly wish we could have played instead of watched

[fickle drift]

I mean we kinda did

[hasty zinc]

blue or osiris?

[fickle drift]

I'm pretty sure he means osiris

[molten pelican]

idk the name, the opening cinematic

[candid solar]

The one lame people complain about

[hasty zinc]

While the Osiris intro was absolutely sick, I enjoyed blue teams intro far more

the precision and planning of that entry to the station was incredible

[molten pelican]

i need to rewatch that

[molten pelican]

hey one could say the same thing about 3s voice acting

[fickle drift]

the thing that was funny about the Osiris intro is that they literally become so overpowered that they literally take down an entire Covenant cruiser and then the gameplay shows up

[molten pelican]

I know! it was sick but would have been rly cool to at least have some control over

[queen remnant]

I still find it insane the launch trailer https://youtu.be/Rh_NXwqFvHc?si=8aYuEkt9mRl28uPE

[hasty zinc]

while I adore Muse, I didn't like the mixing of songs that have lyrics with Halo

[candid solar]

In the case of 3 they'd be right.

[hasty zinc]

although the instrumental of that song would have been sweet with the trailer

[candid solar]

That wasn't them. It happened next to them.

[molten pelican]

they would be, Miranda keyes "to war"😭

[fickle drift]

Was just thinking about halo 5 today. Man what a game. Probably one of the best halos OAT

Glad I grew up with 5 instead of infinite

[molten pelican]

if 5 was on MCC or pc, and had FOV changer, I would replay it

[queen remnant]

I wish to have 5 on PC just to have all halo in one platform but oh well

You can't have all

[molten pelican]

yep yep

[fickle drift]

It's a crime it's not on pc

Imagine not having arguably the best halo on pc

[molten pelican]

Its not too big of a deal for me tho, im more of a reach and everything prior guy, not that new are bad

[warm fiber]

When humans land on another planet like earth we should call it Reach

[molten pelican]

was there a reason?

[hasty zinc]

they were working on Infinite

[molten pelican]

that would bad luck lol

[warm fiber]

We won’t be alive to see it

[molten pelican]

possibly the saddest reason to not have h5 on pc lol

[fossil skiff]

H5 co-op is up there for me simply because of moments like this

[molten pelican]

good idea, lil bro gets to experience this

[molten pelican]

man I love grunts, the way it keeps singing lol

[hasty zinc]

we'll probably land on mars in our lifetime

well maybe your guys lifetime

[hearty flame]

My mans was not Blown Away ✊😔

[molten pelican]

aegisfate has been playing too much starfield

[fossil skiff]

NASA when a guy named Mark Watney submits an astronaut application

[hasty zinc]

no lyrics in the actual game though, so it was fine

[hearty flame]

Yeah I just saw thw opportunity

[molten pelican]

considering ive been alive so long probably

[molten pelican]

it was a good opportunity

[hasty zinc]

right? I was on Mars just yesterday pfft

[molten pelican]

What was it like?

we gotta see your spaceship designs now too

[hasty zinc]

I haven't messed with the ship creator yet

there's just so much to do in this game

[molten pelican]

bethesda moments

[dusky widget]

If you compare Infinite to older Bungie and 343 games in MCC, how better or worse it is compared to them?

[hasty zinc]

ugh

[jade gust]

Y'all still exploring Mars? I was on the Citadel partying with Wrex

[molten pelican]

play them and make your own opinion on it

[dusky widget]

Ok

[hasty zinc]

I'm Aegisfate and this is my favorite discord on the citadel

wow that was lame

[candid solar]

Yes it was.

[dusky widget]

I just heard that after Halo 5, 343 listened to community way too much, changing principles

[hasty zinc]

I'm going back to starfield

[molten pelican]

personally for me the new ones are good, but I think the old ones are better, but im not gonna be one of those bungie stans

[candid solar]

Depending on who you ask, you'd be right.

[fickle drift]

Speaking of Starfield, I saw footage of Earth in Starfield and all I can say is ||how the hell did we screw it up that badly||

[candid solar]

I'd concur that Infinite was a step back story direction wise.

[molten pelican]

bye aegisfate still cant believe we saw you this year

[hasty zinc]

I mean, is it that hard to imagine humanity could do that?

[normal owl]

Today I get to pick up my Upgrade Edition from Best Buy.

[fickle drift]

fair enough

[molten pelican]

havent played yet?

[dusky widget]

How hard would it be to adapt to older Halo games if I only played Infinite MP?

[hasty zinc]

how was your vacation/trip thingy?

[normal owl]

I was out of town all weekend with friends and I forced myself to keep Discord closed. So now it's back to normal life.

[molten pelican]

greta gonna be flying her jet to get some new stories published after this game release

[hasty zinc]

wat

[molten pelican]

ay good idea no distractions

[normal owl]

This was the first night, so it was pretty exhausting weekend haha. How was yours?

[hasty zinc]

that's a lot of booze

mine was good, still on vacation this whole week

[molten pelican]

my man the hangover must have been awful

[normal owl]

Oh that's right! Man that is the LIFE.

[hasty zinc]

yee

[normal owl]

I chugged water while we were in the hot tub so I was straight. But the other guys were destroyed the next day lol.

[hasty zinc]

that amount of alcohol would last me until I died

[hearty flame]

Did you shoot your way out? Mix things up a little?

[hasty zinc]

I only have like one or two drinks a year

[hearty flame]

Me too but in a different way

[molten pelican]

u got the genetics or smthn lol

[fickle drift]

Speaking of vacation, I went on a trip to see my nephews and celebrate my big bro's 40th birthday last weekend

[hearty flame]

I just wanna clarify that was a joke

[normal owl]

Yeah no hangover lasts past a half day for me for some reason.

[normal owl]

Hahaha I got it.

[molten pelican]

I wouldnt know ig, I cant drink my body would just melt🤷‍♂️

[hearty flame]

Nah the second message was the joke, this was more of an acknowledgement

[normal owl]

You're not missing out; you're just saving money.

[fickle drift]

Yes. To make future generations experience halo at its peak

[molten pelican]

gotta save for the new games man

[fickle drift]

Gotta save the old games man

We gotta preserve PEAK content

[molten pelican]

my most played games lol

[normal owl]

That's going to be Starfield for me this next year lol

[fickle drift]

Halo mcc would be insanely popular if they add halo 5

Literally top 3 halo game imo

[hasty zinc]

mcc would be insanely bloated if they add Halo 5

[ivory fossil]

Hello!

[hasty zinc]

[fickle drift]

So? More halo means more fun tbh

[hasty zinc]

every time my wife sees the numbers 117 she say something lol "that number follows us everywhere"

[jade gust]

There's no way Halo 5 is going to become part of MCC. Even ignoring technical reasons why, the point of MCC was to serve as a collection of games from before Halo 5 about Master Chief. This was expanded to include ODST and Reach as they're both FPS Halo games that had yet to have a proper rerelease on the Xbox One when they made MCC PC

Also original MCC released before Halo 5

[molten pelican]

thats crazy thats the number from the green fortnite guy

[hasty zinc]

[jade gust]

I get that with the number 268

[fickle drift]

Add halo 5 to mcc. But make it a anniversary edition. Now that will be peak

[hasty zinc]

lol

[fickle drift]

Ppl keep saying halo 3 and reach need a anniversary edition. But none are as deserving as halo 5 getting one

[hasty zinc]

imagine they made H5 anniversary before H3 anniversary lmao

[hasty zinc]

this community would collectively lose their minds

[fickle drift]

Found Jules alt account...

[fossil skiff]

That would be the great schism 2.0

[queen remnant]

First if H5 is going to be on PC it would be most likely going to be stand alone
Second lmao why anniversary

[fickle drift]

That would break the internet. Everyone would love 343 again

[hasty zinc]

I'm sure

[fossil skiff]

[fickle drift]

Halo 5 is the fan favorite

[jade gust]

The game looks fine honestly, Halo 3 is definitely in more of a need of a repaint these days

[fossil skiff]

H3A but all they do is fix lord hood’s face

[hasty zinc]

H3A but all they do is remove miranda

[jade gust]

All the human faces, please

[fossil skiff]

[normal owl]

H1-4 but with H5 moveset/controls option.

[queen remnant]

I think some graphic changes can be done for H3 but I honestly don't think it needs a full anniversary thing imo

[jade gust]

Aegis please, you're scaring the children

[fickle drift]

Halo 3 is kinda mid. So idkw ppl would want a anniversary edition of that game. Plus it's already on pc just add visual mods that I
Enhance the experience. Halo 5 is DESPERATELY in need for a remake. It's still exclusive to the xbox one and has no port to pc or mcc

[queen remnant]

But the Halo 5 anniversary suggestion is the funniest thing

[queen remnant]

The game doesn't need a remake at all lmao

[jade gust]

Halo 5 definitely does not need remaking

[hasty zinc]

"Halo 5 is DESPERATELY in need for a remake." top 5 sentences of all time

[hearty flame]

It is, I need it remade to have a better campaign story

[fossil skiff]

H5A might honestly be the most based thing I’ve read on here so far

[normal owl]

That sentence is desperately in need of a remake.

[hasty zinc]

they just add anniversary to the title and re-sell it

[fickle drift]

I'm in need fora remake ngl

[hasty zinc]

bro are you getting GA when it comes out?

[jade gust]

At most, I'd do a couple changes to Halo 5, like revert balance to how it was before they changed it and make it so that the weapons exclusive to the multiplayer are in the campaign

[fickle drift]

Nah this is the best suggestion of all time

Also doom eternal needs a remake aswell

[hasty zinc]

Starfield remake when

[normal owl]

Prophet's Bane default loadout

[jade gust]

I'd have that be obtained via an Easter Egg on Battle of Sunaion honestly

[queen remnant]

What

[fickle drift]

Warzon should return to halo. It's thefan favorite for one of the best halo games of all time

[jade gust]

Since I don't want people team killing Arby to get his sword

[jade gust]

Doom Eternal isn't even 5 years old, why would it need a remake?

[normal owl]

I would actually think about getting one of those Game Pass-supported portable systems like Legion Go if Starfield could be playable everywhere: notch a little progress, manage inventory, tinker with ship.

[fossil skiff]

Needs more chainsaw music

[hasty zinc]

should I spend 33k on this starfield gun?

[jade gust]

Fire rate isn't 117, pass on it

[queen remnant]

Yes

Buy buy buy

[normal owl]

I know you're being tongue-in-cheek, but I would seriously and selfishly love a full-on return to H5 Warzone.

[hasty zinc]

you've convinced me I'm buying the 117 gun

[jade gust]

Good

[fickle drift]

The game is sorta old and outdated. It's easily not beginner friendly 💀. While the visuals and art direction still hold up. Most of the character models for the humans look trash. Even doomguys face has seen better days. There needs to be a more accessible version of doom eternal. It's gameplay mechanic's are hard to get used to. And the game does a very poor job teaching new players the basic fundamentals .

[jade gust]

2020 is old and outdated now?

[hasty zinc]

"still hold up"

I'm dying

[fickle drift]

It's been 19 years

[hasty zinc]

this is all bait

[jade gust]

And yeah, you contradicted yourself by saying the visuals hold up before saying all the models look bad

[hasty zinc]

it has to be

[queen remnant]

There is no way

[jade gust]

Gotta agree with you there Aegis

[jade gust]

What year is it?

[fickle drift]

2039

great movie. 10/10

[jade gust]

I was thinking more The Doctor asking the question but sure

Also not seen that film yet

[hasty zinc]

it's an oldie but robin williams is great in it

[fickle drift]

I miss Robin Williams... 😭

Doom eternal is older than most kids who are watching skibidi toilet among us 3am videos

[jade gust]

Not surprising, Robin Williams was great

[fossil skiff]

watching what

On second thought nvm

[hasty zinc]

that's the third time I've seen that phrase mentioned

[fickle drift]

Amazon added Mork & Mindy and I've been rewatching it.

[hasty zinc]

nanu nanu

[obsidian wyvern]

is that from Jumanji

[hasty zinc]

yes

[fickle drift]

The only true Jumanji.

[obsidian wyvern]

cmon it's not that olddd then

I think

[unkempt zodiac]

@hasty zinc thanks for picture!
Now I need to decide which one it will be

[hasty zinc]

I absolutely REFUSE to watch the new Jumanji movies

it's from the 90s

[fickle drift]

1995 release date.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh wow

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah same lol

[dusky widget]

Is Halo Wars 2 worth it?

[fickle drift]

I saw the 2017 one, never watched the sequel. Just an awful attempt to reinvent the story. Even took the board game aspect out of it and made it a video game.

[hasty zinc]

dumb

[fickle drift]

If you liked the first one, sure.

[dusky widget]

And if I never touched it any Halo before?

Except Infinite?

[hasty zinc]

do you like RTS games?

[jade gust]

Halo Wars 2 is a very different game to Infinite in terms of gameplay, it's an RTS

[dusky widget]

Yes

[hasty zinc]

I think you'll be happy

[dusky widget]

I like Company of Heroes 2, best RTS I played

The only strange thing it isn't on steam, the fudge (Halo Wars 2)

[hasty zinc]

yeah only the first one is

[jade gust]

Oh, you're gonna have fun with HW2 then

[fickle drift]

In your honest opinion: does halo 5 NEED a anniversary edition?

Why yall booing me??

Tell me when I'm telling lies smh 🤦‍♂️

[hasty zinc]

right now

[fickle drift]

Love that song

[dusky widget]

At least PC Port, I don't have Xbox and never had, plus the issue with companies leaving Russia is very bad

[fickle drift]

Seems legit

[dusky widget]

But judging from what I saw on youtube, it's certainly a good game

[jade gust]

Sorry to hear you're there, got a few friends over there who wanna get out

[fickle drift]

It's peak halo imo. Tho many tend to disagree and say halo 2 is (boomers istg 🤦‍♂️)

Hot take: Halo 2 hasn't aged well

(Sorry, not sorry)

[hasty zinc]

you good?

[dusky widget]

They play Infinite or MCC? Can get MCC soon, but not sure since I CAN'T USE MY OWN MONEY

Yeah I have to convince my mom to give me permission to use my own money. I'm 18 years old

[fickle drift]

Redditors when someone shares a vastly different opinion: "this guy tweakin 😂"

[fickle drift]

Ayee I'm 19 LETS FREAKING GOOOO!!!

[hasty zinc]

I wasn't saying that about your opinion

you just kept going and going lol

[jade gust]

I get wanting to defend Halo 5 from people who hate it, but this is something else

[jade gust]

Sadly not, they're not all that into FPS games

[fickle drift]

Halo 5 has been trashed by 90s kids for too long. It's about time it gets the love and respect it deserves

[hasty zinc]

relax lol

[fickle drift]

Ill never forget that one youtuber who made a 5 part series on why halo 5 campaign sucks

What a boomer he is lol 😂

[jade gust]

That person is not representative of the entire community

[hasty zinc]

yeah your first problem was watching Halotubers

[dusky widget]

Yeah I got enough of other genres, especially Call of Duty with number one buggy royale

When I tried Halo Infinite for first time it was middle of the night I was like "Uuuuuh waht is that" and deleted game

[obsidian wyvern]

do we have another Jules on our hands lol

[dusky widget]

I reinstalled it recently and was like "Damn, that's epic game"

And not like other franchises are better at giving satisfaction than Halo

[fickle drift]

Yeah. They're pretty much crappy

All of them share the exact same opinion

"Bungie good 343 bad"

[jade gust]

Infinite is just a fun game, not perfect, definitely had issues at launch, but it's just fun

[obsidian wyvern]

you want a good halo YouTuber?

[fickle drift]

Literal npc type take

[fickle drift]

Yeah one that doesn't crap all over halo 5

[jade gust]

My take?

[obsidian wyvern]

https://youtu.be/e-ZKkX3DhJg?si=8VY_4Ecrn7oZqdeJ

[queen remnant]

There are some good ones tho
And also there were some good ones too but they don't upload anymore 😔

[fickle drift]

Sucks to suck ig

[jade gust]

Ok...

[fickle drift]

No offense

[fickle drift]

"Bungie good 343 bad" -🐀

[obsidian wyvern]

lol aegis

[jade gust]

I find that those who call other people "NPC" are doing it when they have no proper defense and so resort to trying to upset or offend

[hasty zinc]

it's the same as resorting to insults

[fickle drift]

Chill

Bungie isn't good LOL I played Destiny and Destiny 2 long enough to know that the community over there just is extremely forgiving to them because they're bungie, well until recently only took the community 10 years to hold bungee to a standard for Destiny

No need to take things personally

[jade gust]

And at no point did I try the "Bungo good" thing, I have plenty of issues with Bungie

[hasty zinc]

"calls person NPC" tells them to chill and not take it personally

[jade gust]

Part of why I stopped playing Destiny 2, alongside burnout

[dusky widget]

Are there 8v8 or 12v12 modes in games in MCC?

[jade gust]

8v8 yes, it's called Big Team Battle or BTB for short

No 12v12

[fickle drift]

Ermm

Shurr...up

[jade gust]

Mainly because Halo didn't get a mode with more than 8v8 until Halo 5

[fickle drift]

Big team battle?

[dusky widget]

Ok

Yeah. Anyway, your favorite Halo multiplayer gamemode you had most fun in?

[jade gust]

Recently, Infection in Infinite

[dire spade]

Well it was a decent challenge doing legendary alone, but with even 2 more people wouldn't it be stupidly easy?

[fickle drift]

There's a remixed version of lockout sitting in the games files

Yet 343 hasn't added it to matchmaking yet

[jade gust]

Not as simple as pressing a button that just adds them in

[fickle drift]

I will die happily if they're added

This should NOT be a case where it's up to the modders job to add them in 💀

Like cmon man

[hasty zinc]

you're exhausting lol

[fickle drift]

Just add the halo online mp maps to halo3. And everyone will be busting their shots and praising 343 again

[dire spade]

guys who would win the master chief and his ai or the entire sea of thieves universe

[quick escarp]

All at once? Or gradually.

[dire spade]

all at once i guess? Or just hes plopped on an island and tasked to kill everything that lives i guess

even all the undead and stuff

[jade gust]

Depends on what Chief has access to as weapons

[dire spade]

all of the ones from the halo series :DD

that you can use in the games

[quick escarp]

Infinite ammo?

[dire spade]

no limited ammo

[jade gust]

How much ammo? Like one mag for each weapon that takes them or what?

[dire spade]

4 mags per weapon

except power weapons they only get 1

[jade gust]

You really want to give Chief that much ammo with the CE pistol?

[dire spade]

ohh you know what

how about he gets just an infinte energy sword and a sloop

thats it thats all he gets

[jade gust]

A sloop?

[dire spade]

basically the smallest boat you can get in sea of thieves

the one with the single sail

[jade gust]

Ah, that's on me, my naval knowledge is lacking. I can already hear my great great grandad being upset at that

[dire spade]

D: ok well im not sure how else to put him up against the sea of thieves universe

does he swim in the halo games

[hasty zinc]

no but he sinks pretty good

[jade gust]

Eeeeeeh, more he sinks to the bottom of the water because his armour is heavy

[dire spade]

could his armour tank a whole cannonball shot?

[jade gust]

Think the first Pirates of the Caribbean film when all the skeletons are walking along the bottom of the ocean

[dire spade]

i see

[jade gust]

Quite easily

[dire spade]

woaah and he'd stay standing?

[quick escarp]

I mean he can tank plasma at least with just his shields

[jade gust]

Well he might be knocked over depending on how big but Mjolnir armour is real though

He'll walk it off

[dire spade]

Its small enough to be held in your hand xd

[fickle drift]

Just have him walk across the bottom of the ocean recycling air blowing holes in the boats with powder kegs

[dire spade]

ohh how about

can master chief survive a flaming meteor dropping from way above him, and the meteor is the size of a few cars piled together

[jade gust]

Honestly, that might just bounce off like it's nothing

He's been the meteor

Look at Halo 3's intro

[dire spade]

:0 woaah hes op

Then he would just kill evreyone no one would stand a chance

I wonder what would be a more fair matchup for him

maybe quake 2 :0

[jade gust]

Other super soldiers, so characters like Captain America or Black Widow, or heavily armoured characters, like Iron Man

[dire spade]

Ah wow hes avengers level?

[jade gust]

Well the Spartans are all designated hyper lethal

[dire spade]

thats pretty cool, maybe him VS iron man in a halo map

[jade gust]

My money is on Chief as despite his lack of flight, he's a great shot, though Linda will always be better

[dire spade]

Linda D: goat sniper

[dire spade]

Wait he actually beats iron man for real???

that is absolutely insane :0

[jade gust]

Not sure but Chief is who I would bet on

[fickle drift]

Master chief vs doom guy

Who would win?

[quick escarp]

If chief gets access to blamite weapon’s definitely chief

[clever sun]

with which weapons?

[jade gust]

I know Doom Guy is strong but like, the demons are all just alien creatures in Doom, right?

[quick escarp]

Blamite aka needler or needle rifle etc

[clever sun]

i dont really think its chief vs doomguy. its just weapon vs weapon

[quick escarp]

Those weapons are terrifying in lore

[jade gust]

Forerunner weapons are even scarier

[dire spade]

Wait I just remembered cortana right, isnt she like stupidly good at hacking things?

[quick escarp]

I mean the composer is, but being blown to smithereens after being impaled by a giant spike with massive pain is not fun.

[dire spade]

Couldnt she just lock down iron mans suit while also scanning for weaknesses

[quick escarp]

I hate the fact there’s a blamite infused energy sword

[clever sun]

spoilers ||isnt she dead?||

[quick escarp]

Pretty sure she needs some way to actually access the suit though.

[dire spade]

||yea but assuming she isnt||

[jade gust]

Cortana isn't the only AI in Halo capable of infiltration of enemy systems

[jade gust]

Why do you hate it? I assume you mean the blade Jackals use in the novels and not the pink sword skin in MCC

[quick escarp]

Well there is a different actual energy sword infused with blamite, I forgor where it is though.

But I do mostly mean the ones jackals use

[jade gust]

Roger that, just needed the clarification, because yeah, having a sword that explodes when you stab someone is not exactly a good idea if you don't get away in time

[quick escarp]

Would be one bloody mess

[jade gust]

Indeed

[obsidian wyvern]

that sounds cool

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe not

Halo 2 Xbox Live

[shut nymph]

when we getting playable elites

[fickle drift]

Nobody knows been no word yet

[quaint canyon]

In surprised there isn’t a mobile port of halo wars.

[obsidian wyvern]

hopefully never

[fickle drift]

Never lol

[hasty zinc]

they're not working on it and it's not a priority, so probably a very long time if ever

[quaint canyon]

I am xenophobic I hate elites.

[fickle drift]

343 based for adding no playable elites

[obsidian wyvern]

wow I actually agree with lord

[fickle drift]

L no image perms

1984

[hasty zinc]

even a broken clock is right 2 times a day

[obsidian wyvern]

there kinda is, they've given a mobile layout if you try it on xcloud

[obsidian wyvern]

I did not know that

wait how

[hasty zinc]

an analog clock

if the battery dies, the time will be correct 2 times in 24 hours

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

I thought we were saying if the time was initially set wrong lol

[fickle drift]

Also clocks that use hands

[near tree]

Have you never heard that?
I always thought that was a common expression, but maybe it's more of an American thing

[fickle drift]

That clock is 19 years old man. Let it go 💀

No wonder it can't work for crap

[jade gust]

I see Lordofnutz still thinks the year is 2039 when it's actually 2023

[obsidian wyvern]

nah never

[jade gust]

I know I've heard that phrase

[fickle drift]

Guys you guys know that one halo Mandela effect where when you start a match that iconic count down goes "boop, boop, boop, beep" right? Well it actually turns out that's not the case. Instead it's actually "boop, boop, boop-". Cuts right off after it can make the beep

Weird right?

[tight remnant]

Hey You Mewtwo (@HeyYouMewtwo)

A consensus has been made:

Halo Inifnite is better than all of The Master Chief Collection

This means that Infinite is better than the likes of Halo CE, 2, 3 and even Reach.

Twitter · Sep 5, 2023, 12:05 AM

[pulsar cobalt]

You know what would be amazing for halo infinite social space like destiny

[hasty zinc]

yee

should have done that in 4 or 5. Use the Infinity as a social space

[pulsar cobalt]

Agreed

[granite sky]

darn wish halo had more players the mcc custom browser is always packed and fun but want moar

[pulsar cobalt]

So when you load up the game it takes you straight into a social space i think this is what infinite needs so people can go up and go hi wanna go group up and that

then within that social space then can do coating shops armour shops etc.

[fossil skiff]

Speedrun disabling of lobby chat any %

[fickle drift]

I'm glad it doesn't, I get the desire for more social functionality in Infinite but I'd rather just have better menus than a big social environment
I don't need to add travel time to the list of things slowing down my interface with UI

[pulsar cobalt]

Don't need menus when it just loads you straight into a social space then the pause menu can litreally just be the playlists and settings

[round laurel]

I could kind of see this working if Infinite had PvE missions like raids from Destiny, in which group work is essential. Otherwise, it'd be a bit weird and add unnecessary loading times.

[fickle drift]

It's funny how every "bad" decision that was made by 343, turned out to be some of the best decisions out there for the halo series. 343 are just ahead of their time.

90s halo fans crying over peak

[dusk raven]

Dang so Halo Infinite made some updates or had stuff added to make the game better?

[amber iris]

Halo

THREE???

FOUR????

five

INFINITE????

[fickle drift]

And how long is it going to take to load into said social space
With all of the other players

How does this work when offline

Does party syncing count, so if I'm in an EU social space do I get sent into an NA one for joining a friend

[round laurel]

It has had a few seasons worth of updates, yes.

[fickle drift]

I liked how headquarters was in COD WW2

[bold sparrow]

So what Im hearing is...Halo needs huge detailed PvE missions that are basically six-person campaign operations.
Im very down.

[candid solar]

plz

I crave it

[fickle drift]

Halo NEEDS skibidi toilet

/s

[queen remnant]

The academy thing would be neat to be expanded like that

[fossil skiff]

Same

[glass eagle]

Hey, just a quick question, is it okay to use the clan corner to make an initial start of a fresh, newly established clan? I'm heavily considering creating a UK/EU player based clan then slowly branch out in perhaps having NA and other regions being enrolled into it all?

[fossil skiff]

Spartan ops on Zeta Halo but we sneak into banished ships or facilities and assassinate HVTs. Bring it on.

[warm fiber]

Does halo infinite have vip?

[faint mantle]

No

[fossil skiff]

No

[dusky widget]

Husky Raid is a nice way to learn Halo Infinite weapons

[pulsar cobalt]

You know that's a neat idea

[dusky widget]

Personally for me

Also are there any way to get cat ears without spending money?

[pulsar cobalt]

Using Microsoft reward points

[queen remnant]

Microsoft rewards

[fickle drift]

They should add cat ears to halo 2 and 3
I think that will revive the games player base

We need to save old halo yall

[sour gate]

mcc is no longer more popular than infinite. I g that means it's a dead game

[queen remnant]

Dead game.... doesn't have one halollions players....

[fickle drift]

I like how that post says 'even Reach'

[pulsar cobalt]

Rockeye helmet is out

[sour gate]

WAIT ROCKEYE???

[pulsar cobalt]

its 1400 credits

[sour gate]

I cannot curse but Freak yeah

I felt like an 8yrold learning bad words saying that

[fossil skiff]

Seems like it’s the only thing that changed aside from the stuff at the end of the list in shop?

[sour gate]

idk yet

my game takes forever to boot up

[bold sparrow]

We're an hour out from refresh so

[pulsar cobalt]

Nothing changed tbh

the daily is still the same

[fossil skiff]

Oh

[pulsar cobalt]

just that rockeye appeared

[sour gate]

lame

does it come with anything else?

or is it just a helmet for 1400

[pulsar cobalt]

coating a helmet attchment for the helm emblem and a backdrop

and why do these new helmet attachments not matching with the coating

[fossil skiff]

But that’s for challenges

[sour gate]

coating isn't half bad

idk the helmet looks massive compared to the spartan lol

[dreamy stirrup]

random question time....

what's more useful info for y'all to know here on discord via user colors

a player's region or a player's device/input?

i'm guessing region?

[fossil skiff]

Region

[sour gate]

region would be more important

[dreamy stirrup]

thought so

[round laurel]

Region.

[dreamy stirrup]

thank you!

[pulsar cobalt]

I mean PC player icon or xbox icon role would be good to show up on the name though

[candid solar]

Favorite soup.

[dusky widget]

I mean, region. As long as all games have crossplay, region

[sour gate]

im pretty sure the emblem is an evangelion reference

During one of the episodes the Magi system is nearly corrupted by an angel

or it could just be cool idk
i like to believe

[vapid siren]

color for region, icon for input

[rare cedar]

Region for sure

[vapid siren]

unless ofc there's some overriding role

this reminds me i got like 50 bucks at best buy i should redeem relatively soon

Yeah you should probably look into that. Im always nervous with rewards like that because in my head they could close/go bankrupt and I'd lose my points

[vapid siren]

thing is i bought like... everything id ever need when i worked there cause discount go brrrr

so what would i even buy lmao

[bold sparrow]

No photobombs here sadly?

[obsidian wyvern]

weirdly, I remember this video

[forest lagoon]

The first time I crossed his path I was insulting his truck and parking skills (didn't know who it was, just knew they took up the spot I wanted... Taking up 4 parking spots. Massive truck too) when I found out he was there I got to the spot in time to watch them leave and had to laugh because the parking situation made sense now. Dude needed room just to exit the vehicle

[vapid siren]

but yeah only 24k at best buy

we have TVs more expensive than all of that

[vapid siren]

shaq is the one man who gets to take more than 1 space and it be ok

[forest lagoon]

When I got home I pulled my dash cam footage to see the truck and hear my ramblings xD

[rare cedar]

Wait you work at Best Buy?

I've never really cared much about meeting a celebrity before but I am small gorl and I really want a photo next to him

It's because of those discords I was able to get a standard series X for me, a friend, my parents and In-laws (at different times)

[vapid siren]

true story lady wanted a wifi repeater and ended up getting like 2 mesh networks, a treadmill, 2 tvs....

[forest lagoon]

She wanted a what?

[vapid siren]

wifi repeater. range extender, booster, etc

[forest lagoon]

FINALLY

[normal owl]

The Xbox One controller? That has a Locke counterpart?

[forest lagoon]

I got someone with that stupid joke

[bold sparrow]

One of those things you put on the top floor of your house if you cant get signal in your bedroom from the router in the basement.

[molten pelican]

we have a celebrity in this server

[vapid siren]

OH YOU LITTLE

[forest lagoon]

[though it doesn't work well over text]

[rare cedar]

[vapid siren]

tbf people dont always know thats what its called

so well played

[forest lagoon]

Da Hub gets me like that all the time and I've only gotten him back like once. I've been scanning for opportunities

[vapid siren]

but uh yeah turned out we were selling the exact treadmill she wanted, and i convinced her just a repeater wasn't the most viable option but had a guy go to the house to consult, and it was a new summer home she just got

and so she got a second one for the actual main home too, plus a TV to watch stuff while on the treadmill i guess idk, but i got texted by my supe during a training class and he's like "dude wtf did you do this receipt is as tall as me"

[forest lagoon]

Honestly how you pulled that off baffles me and you've explained it

[vapid siren]

no commission btw

[normal owl]

What about a hearty "nice job!"?

[vapid siren]

know the tech, be really lucky, ask the right questions, and follow up with a slammer of a move

those in home consultations HIT when you do em right

[normal owl]

Did you guys get anything, like a tangible mark on your record for eval for raises, for customer positive comments?

[vapid siren]

NPS score

[rare cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/g4tv-aots-attack-of-the-show-g4-will-neff-gif-26381994

^hawkner when sealed the deal

[vapid siren]

i mean that kind of sale is something they'll remember but wouldnt be written down

cause like... that's a hell of an upsell lmao. 20 bucks to 5 figures

[normal owl]

NPS score actually progresses towards raises/benefits, but sales don't contribute to NPS?

[vapid siren]

sales are their own metric at bby

even then raw rev isn't important its all about attach rates, totaltech, and credit applicatiosn

[rare cedar]

What’s NPS score

[vapid siren]

there's an event for million dollar sellers

[vapid siren]

hell

everyones worst nightmare tbh

[rare cedar]

Retail thing?

[vapid siren]

anything below a 9 is bad

here a better image

[forest lagoon]

Meanwhile when we were looking for a new TV, the sales guy we got flipped what the difference was between OLED and QLED and I tried to friendly correct him with a "are you sure about that? I thought the O stood for Organic and the Q stood for Quantum" but he doubled down and gave his whole shpill while we just smiled and nodded and then said "thanks we'll look around"

[normal owl]

hold up, so NPS does not actually attach to an employee's record to raises, promotions, etc.?

[vapid siren]

yeah best buy is really hit or miss

you get my store which has good guys who know wtf is up, and then... that

[rare cedar]

That’s crazy

[dusky widget]

MCC released in 2015 right?

[vapid siren]

14

[dusky widget]

And 343 keeps adding content for 9 years straight in remasters?

[forest lagoon]

The detractive zone is huge

[vapid siren]

not necessarily thigns got really moving in 2019 when PC support was added

[dusky widget]

Oh, it was Xbox only before?

[normal owl]

So I have made it a point for over a decade to give positive comments about employees directly to location and district supervisors. So I've completely wasted my time and it had no effect on any employee's job?

[vapid siren]

basically had some lovin for a bit, H5 comes out, then silence, then 2019 rolls up and we back

[forest lagoon]

Why not just do a 1, 2, 3 scoring

[normal owl]

@Best Buy

[vapid siren]

nah they'll remember and mayb e jot it down, but the overall quotas/metrics will be the first thing that matter most likely

[dusky widget]

But still, they add content to old games in remaster? My fricking respect, I never saw such hard-working ppl

[vapid siren]

down to the leadership at that point @normal owl

[dusky widget]

Unlike Bethesda who did a fake note for doctor so Starfield devs could rest

[normal owl]

Dang, that is a reality check.

[vapid siren]

... what

[faint mantle]

That sounds like a bro move

[vapid siren]

you mean the note Pete Hines shared for people to use to take off to PLAY starfield?

same as Baldurs Gate?

[dusky widget]

That's real, Bethesda's supervisor did that

[dusky widget]

What happened in Baldur's Gate 3 case?

you mean this?

this isnt for the devs its for the fans who wanna play

[dusky widget]

Wait, I'm dumb, I haven't finished reading article and got it wrong

[vapid siren]

Baldurs Gate did the same concept

[dusky widget]

Also Twitter isn't a thing in Russia, it's blocked

Anyway back to MCC theme

What's firefight?

[lapis crag]

Why is halo mcc servers down

[candid solar]

They finally realized the only good Halo games are 5 and Infinite, and shut down the servers to the lesser titles. Duh.

[dusky widget]

Maintenance, probably

[fickle drift]

Horde mode but Halo

[dusky widget]

Call of Duty Zombies and Left 4 Dead 2 kick in

[rare cedar]

PVE round based game type

[hearty flame]

It'd be nice if Halo had a difficulty where the AI was dangerous but their health wasn't super beefy

[dusky widget]

I mean, most ppl turn into RPG

[rare cedar]

So rocket flood?

[dusky widget]

Just cranking numbers up

[hearty flame]

That's not really the AI being dangerous as much as their equipment is

[cedar turret]

Blame reach for that

[pulsar cobalt]

Halo 3 rat is the weekly

let's go

[cedar turret]

It’s when they began taking insane damage

[stoic pulsar]

[dusky widget]

The what platform

[stoic pulsar]

Game boy color

[dusky widget]

Halo

[stoic pulsar]

IS real no joke

[dusky widget]

Fan demake I guess

I mean. Combat DEvolved sure sounds funny

Is it in exe file or for emulator?

[stoic pulsar]

For emulator

For now IS only first mission playable

[dusky widget]

I mean. GBC. GBA would be more fitting tbh, MGS: Ghost Babel was really funny experience xd

[dreamy stirrup]

rat rat rat

[night fern]

Are grunt unggoy naturally shorter than humans? Like when they reach adult age are they still not as tall?

[normal owl]

Why, is height a dealbreaker for you?

[dreamy stirrup]

grunts are taller than me

[night fern]

It was a general question dude

[obsidian wyvern]

L

[night fern]

And no, I don't have a problem with the height. I was just curious

[dreamy stirrup]

(p sure attorney was just trying to be funny)

anyway i think grunts are like 5'6 or something?

[dusky widget]

Wait there are two Halo 2s in Halo MCC?

[forest lagoon]

I remember seeing 5'2"-5'6" and I'm taking that knowing there are some grunts out there at least my height

[smoky token]

i seem to remember them being around 5’6 as well

[dreamy stirrup]

Classic and Anniversary, yes

[smoky token]

ah

[uneven depot]

Master chief is 7’2

[forest lagoon]

Shaq is 7'1"

[smoky token]

in armor*

speaking of armor

who has played armoured core

[uneven depot]

When do we ever play as him without armor?

[forest lagoon]

I haven't played the new one

[smoky token]

it’s SO GOOD

most fun i’ve had in a game since Titanfall 2

[night fern]

Ok thanks for the input guys

[forest lagoon]

Are the controls super complicated ?

[smoky token]

that’s awesome

[smoky token]

No, not at all

there’s some button combos but you rarely need to use them

[normal owl]

That was from an article I saw of the amazing creations people are making in that game.

I cannot wait for time to pass and for there to be more.

[smoky token]

it’s just your two mouse buttons, WASD to move horizontally, space to move vertically

ctrl allows you to fly straight forward

[forest lagoon]

I mean for xbox

[smoky token]

oh

i don’t know

[uneven depot]

Cant afford ac 6 😭

[forest lagoon]

Da hub used to really like it but there was one game where he said it started getting overly complicated and lost interest

[dusky widget]

What game is this

[normal owl]

The most complicated I ever got in a mech game was Iron Brigade, so Armoured Core would be way beyond me.

[smoky token]

armoured core 6

[dusky widget]

Oh, that game that was Dark Souls Shooter on it's release

[obsidian wyvern]

wasn't it just everyone complaining about the first boss being too hard.. when it wasnt

[dusky widget]

Also it's protection got hacked the day it released

[dusky widget]

I mean it was certain boss

[obsidian wyvern]

the helicopter one I think

[dusky widget]

Only heard ppl complain about single boss, I forgot which

But honestly I'm still laughing and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart getting hacked 5 minutes after Steam release

(Before that TLOU PC Port held first place at getting hacked into torrents, 30 minutes after release)

I mean if Sony wouldn't make Turkish Lira price go up the double it was before, it wouldn't get cracked THAT fast

[dusty wolf]

whats this week weekly ultimate reward?

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 3 rat

[dusty wolf]

ty

[dusky widget]

Honestly, of all shooters in my experience

[obsidian wyvern]

[obsidian wyvern]

wrong image, I swear if anyone sniped that code I'll be mad

[dusty wolf]

sorry

jk

better reedem before i do

[dusky widget]

The most hillarious shooting while ADS has the Metal Gear Online 2. Like, hold one button to aim, press second button to enter first person, and with slight screen jumping and weapon just jumps around screen (M4, to be exact)

[calm fiber]

Thanks for the code, now I can invite my friends to my Minecraft server

[dusky widget]
