I don't trust roses
At 72k Microsoft points by using the bing apps and the app on my XBSX. Just 19k more till I can get a 100 dollar for Microsoft so I can avoid paying anything on the Halo Infinite store
but I'm all sweetness and thorns
Why do that... I'd just use a teleporter
Fret has been the only AI I’ve ever used
I use super attendant tho sense I'm an odst
Fret is the chipper young guy voice, yea?
Nice!
back to starfield
Why is it everytime i get a Grav hammer, Sword or any weapon are people able to just go through my strikes, survive and kill me but i can't
The more I play the more I LOVE it
Fret is the....uh...
fretful one
(literally how he's described in docs)
Sup
he and circ are tied for my favs
If vr comes to Xbox do you guys think halo will be involved at all?
Sam dropping lore
I feel like halo and vr would match so much if vr and xbox became one... it would opean more doors for fan content like rvb back then and probably even give people a shot at trying to actually aim and test out the weapons
Doubtful. Frankly, I'm surprised Microsoft has any pallet to invest in the IP at all going forward.
So if fret sings the halo theme as a voice line, is he breaking the forth wall or is the song what plays in every spartan helmet... like an mp3 player..... I'm being serious was that a forth wall break
thatd involve windows vr making some semblance of a commercial comeback
VR is still objectively a relatively awful FPS experience anyway.
It would be viewed by the Halo community in about as positive of a light as Diablo Immortal was to Blizzard fans.
I think 343 is doing a pretty good job repairing halo infinite sense this and last season was amazing
Anyone else think thus place is quiet?
Nibre was doing Reach VR before he was at 343. maybe he'll give them some ideas.
There are currently mods out there to play "Halo" in VR in The Contractors. It's mainly just a reskinned version of the game if you're curious on what it would be like
Circ's cheerful psychopath aura fills me with happiness.
And she says I can have a pizza party for murdering people.
Also Pavlov is a pretty fun VR FPS game!
That name rings a bell
nice
I love that game
I recently got into it, since I got the Quest 2! I still working on getting better but would be down sometime!
I blew myself so many times trying to do the Grenade training 🤣🤣🤣 kept dropping it at my feet
I bet @split saddle will be there at worlds as an official fo sho!
I just noticed the announcement
Sorry that was off topic lol
rip halo
rip

Anything's possible
You should try contractors, they have halo mods that work pretty good
Pavlov too but only on pc
Saw critikal talk about it but didn’t really remember what he said
absolutely
Discord’s desktop client is getting a 64bit upgrade which will improve the app’s overall performance and stability.
Never been more bored in my life. Not the game for me at all.
Whats going on guys?
from what I’ve heard people really like it
I’m probably gonna get it soon
It'd very poorly optimized so eh
does it try to download the logo 5,000 times?
From what I've heard besthesda has been working very closely with AMD hence why the benchmarks are all wonky right now. The 7900xtx is consistently beating the 4090 or matching it in this game despite the fact that the 7900xtx is more on par with a 4080
Essentially the game has a very heavy preference for radeon cards. Intels arc lineup doesn't even work though according to an employee at Bethesda the a770 and a750 don't even meet minimum requirements
can you explain this to someone who doesn’t know anything about PC specs?
Essentially the game has a preference for a specific graphics card that's objectively weaker. The reason why it had this preference was becase the game company worked closely with the manufacturer of this graphics card. However due to this graphics cards that are objectively more powerful in every other game are behind this one due to the heavy favoritism
you can’t really say “objectively” with these kinds of things. Nvidia cards are typically tailored to be able to do a couple things better than AMD while AMD cards are better at certain things compared to Nvidia
AMD is usually better in a lot of pure raster tasks and ones with heavy memory management (in spite of GDDR6X)
Asynchronous computing
The 4090 beats the 7900xtx in every single benchmark gaming and workloads included. I can indeed say objectively this is the case literally only because Bethesda didn't optimize their game for other cards that is not AMD
me if i threw the word “optimize” not knowing what it meant
this is an issue with drivers right now
Nvidia simply isn’t putting as much effort into making good drivers for Starfield compared to AMD
As such the hardware can’t communicate with itself effectively enough in one case and falls behind in benchmarks
Starfield also doesn’t use ray tracing or any other fancy lighting techniques, which is where nvidia usually takes the spot over AMD
Uh huh what about intel then? They're putting out drivers to fix this and a Bethesda employee literally said their cards don't meet minimum standards despite the a770 being on par with a 3060 or a 6600xt which mind you is above minimum requirements
intel is worse than both AMD and Nvidia in every conceivable way right now
not really a relevant point
they physically have less competent hardware in their cards
You didn't read the second part lmfao
You do know that the a750 is on par with a 3060 or 6600xt right?
Both of which are above minimum requirements
yeah… no, not really
You compared it to a 3070 silly
I said a 3060
If you're gonna try to prove me wrong atleast use the right gpu
the issue with intel GPUs right now is that they really just arent good at gaming
they are pretty much just for pushing pixels and encoding video
which it does really good at, mind you
but when it comes to vector-based graphics, intel really sells the bag
No no bud the problem here is you haven't done your research and haven't looked at benchmarks anyone who does know the a770 is on par with a 3060
this happens every time they try and enter the GPU market
i’ve looked at the benchmarks.
i literally have friends that work for all 3 companies.
So you're saying the 3060 isn't good?
Or the 6600xt?
Anyone who has actually done their research knows those three are about even
Thats not even mentioning the fact that I said a 3060 and you compared it to a 3070
all nvidia cards suck fyi
that’s a whole new sentence. tf is you talkin bout.
600w still only 35 FPS in cyberpunk
If the a750 is bad then the 3060 is to. You should know they're almost identical in terms of preformance
imagine your cards needing so much power you go and make a whole new power connector standard
i was talking about all intel cards, not just the a750
and like i’ve been trying to say
different cards are good at different things
you want a cheap card that can push pixels and encode video? sure, why not, get an intel card
Yeah so if intel cards are bad then every other non intel card that preforms similarly to it is bad aswell?
you want a meatier card that can do pretty much anything you throw at it? it’ll cost you, but you can get an nvidia card
how about a card that is really good at gaming but not much else? for cheaper than an nvidia card, here comes AMD
Stanfield is just poorly optimized for literally any card that isn't AMD
works fine on my 3080
¯_(ツ)_/¯
literally have had 0 issues with FPS through my entire play through so far
What settings? 1080p?
Eh you probably averged somewhere around 60ish at 1440p
Nobody the game is just that bad for non amd cards
i typically get closer to 120 but the game has some terrible screen tearing so I keep vsync on
never drops below 59
even in the new atlantis commercial district
Still the 7900xtx beating a 4090 is just unreasonable that's proof this is literally just a case of favoritism and nothing else

🍿
Yeah it must be entertaining watching two computer nerds debate
me when my sponsored game that is being built primarily for a specific console that uses AMD cards has priority over the competition:
did you complain about this when the witcher or cyberpunk came out?
same issue there, only opposite ways
games were sponsored by Nvidia
My Xbox Series X ™️ outperforms any PC out there. Don't @ me
@rare cedar

Yes actually, companies need to be held accountable for their incompetence it doesn't matter which manufacturer they happen to prefer
it’s not incompetence my G it is called sponsorship 💀
It is incompetence when a employee of that company straight up says a manufacturers card doesn't meet minimum requirements when It preforms on par with competitors cards that are above those minimum requirements
I have a question, I know 343i shut down all the Halo servers but Infinite’s, but can me and a friend play co-op campaign with Xbox live? Like not couch co-op, but online?
MCC's servers are online. And so are 5's.
^
So yes, you can on those games. Just not the original Xbox title versions.
Precisely
So if I wanted to play Halo 3 (I only have an Xbox 360) and they had the MCC version on their Xbox one, would that work?
last time i’m gonna say this before going to bed
different cards have different purposes. At the end of the day, all graphics cards are is compute accelerators that typically are marketed en masse to gamers. The Intel Ark series isn’t that. Ark was made for datacenters and servers and the like. Frankly, y’all are lucky they even make a driver for games at all.
Night titan
goodnight master chief 2004
No, it would not work.
Your options are get an Xbox One and MCC, or get a PC and MCC, and that is all.
halo the master chief collection does have halo 3
It's irrelevant. You can't play co-op through two games that do not share servers.
Even if they are the same game, MCC 3 is not treated as the same game by the servers.
Online or split screen
If it was split screen, the question would be irrelevant.
or an Xbox Series X/S and MCC
I said that
(I do not consider them different enough to warrant saying a different statement)
:3
I mean my dad has an Xbox one, but he only has 5 and Infinite, and he doesn’t even let me use it so, wouldn’t matter anyway
Ah, so you're likely not old enough to get a job and just buy your own.
Oh well. Better luck next time, I suppose, sorry.
I have the money to buy the games, just not the console.
I could buy the MCC, but I’d also need a controller (my dad lost his)
💘
Master chief version Gordon Ramsey who's winning
It's criminal that we have no footage of any Spartans eating
We have images of it though.
Master chief cooked his food a bit to raw and Gordon sees it and end up in a deathbattle
Are there? I've always heard it was only mentioned in books
There's a pic that I will not be able to find very quickly at all of Halo Infinite concept art with a few Spartan IVs eating rations and talking.
False information TwT John 117 steals crackers for his team in [Fall Of Reach] movie
117 apologizes in that seen due to the crackers being alittle stale
I was only thinking about the 2s and 3s
One hit from Gordon’s frying pan will knock out chief’s shields
So we have seen spartan Kelly eat I think
Lmfao
Sticks two pieces of bread against the chiefs face and screams "what are you!!!"
Fact: Gordon Ramsay cooks with Plasma Rifles
It was actually Gordon who killed Kat for undercooked food.... it was just covered up
Contrary to popular belief, the glassing of Reach was not the covenant, it was Gordon testing out his new kitchen equipment
Killed half of humanity In one hellskitchen episode
... They're literally all Spartans. That's a weird thing to forget.
That's like saying you forgot that Shorthair Tabbys are a type of cat in a conversation about cats.
Or saying that you forgot Dawn Dish Soap was a brand of Soap.
He came searching for the lamb sauce and they were unable to present it to him
I'm dying lmfao
Well IIs and IIIs act way differently than IVs, IVs are way more human-acting so they have their own compartment in my head
Reach got glassed cause Gordon walked into a restaurant and ordered food and instead of cooking they gave him a microwave dinner
XD
I just found out my blender project was broken.
I am sad now because it means I need to start from square one.
I need a halo vs Gordon comic now...lol
Did u have to reinstall?!?
No.
When halsey presented her Spartans he simply laughed and said “I’ve seen dirty kitchens more terrifying” completely un threatened
I know it’s kinda off topic but I finished playing through Black Mesa (Half-life Remake) and damn I don’t get why a lot of games use sound-design to make moments more memorable and impactful.
I'm rolling
It’d be pretty short. Man easily solos most of the verse minimal diff
That would be funny
Halsey: these are the heros of humanity?
Gordon: can they cook?
Halsey: no
Gordon: (censored)
I need a spartan with a chefs hat now! T-T
Not only cause some people call master chief (master chef) when looking him up
But it's funny
LOL
And to say he can beat Chief easily would even be an understatement. A hit from his frying pan is equivalent to a punch from either Superman or goku. Therefore chief is getting dropped harder than chef Mike out of the window on that episode of Kitchen Nightmares

Hey guys, anyone know where I should go about the emblem I’m supposed to get from a map I have in a blogpost/recommended?
I’ll let 343 aware of this post.
Holy crap its been a while since I tried using a controller lol
Was practicing my sniping (I prefer not to use them so I'm not to good at it) and while on MKB I was doing OK. Tried using a controller just to see how strong aim assist is and wow its very strong
Well it feels strong after I've been on MKB for so long
I haven't tried an actual game though with controller
Thanks man 🙂
Just wasn’t sure where to go to with this, it’s not a big deal. I’ve heard a lot of people haven’t been getting them, there was some sort of form that went out but every time I go to access it, it isn’t there
Good morning usa
Hey guys you know for voice AI is that allowed as long if your making memes and no monetization?
morning every one
Hey!
How's it going
whos up
||don't go to Reach tomorrow||
This ranking system is kinda unfair
Whos training for aesthetics? Any struggles?
what is going on reach tommorw
20 percent off all glassware.
How the flip do I delete a message
right click
It would be amazing if a future campaign was about Arby ‘n’ the Chief getting back together and stopping the Ark

Personally I just wanna see a follow up from ODST I think Buck, Dare, Romeo, Dutch, Mikey and The Rookie where amazing. I know we saw Buck in halo 5 but we never got information regarding the rest of the team
I absolutely love the fact that they included the superintendent in infinite though.
No
You're in for quite the ride because they followed up with those characters in the books.
Without spoilers, I don't think we'll get a second game with those characters.
I think captain cutter and red team are able to handle that.
read new blood @somber hazel
@indigo bear Not something for discussion here
Steve Harwell the guy who made hey now your a all star died on sep 4 sadly
he died on me birthday
RIP
So, what are your goals and how long have you been training
wise mod block tbh
You've been asking these questions at the same time for the past few days and nobody is responding. You're probably not going to get a conversation about it going here
lol
My goals are to take over the world, I have been training for 10 years and acquired a 7290 personnel private army with top of the line equipment straight from ONI
#RememberReach 🥺
What’s reach?
I still play it bc it’s the only game with 4 player split screen
Campaign
It's about time for me to play it again
how I like to remember reach
Reach 😴
The thing about 1-3, reach and ODST is that the missions r actually unique and fun
Infinite missions r ok but they’re so repetitive
Just like 4
It feels like less of an adventure
I can play with you (but I still use my 360 disc so I’m not sure if it works cuz I don’t have game pass)
We can figure it out
good morning!

i was cnfused at first

god im so tired
wait
ok it's been 13 minutes, what am I waiting for
Footedpanda is ickys alt 😂
I wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for you.

god im so blef
I gotta collect the whole red vs blue cast in mega construx
ah yes, "unique" (all of CE with its copypasted and reversed levels) and "fun" (2 with its lack of playtesting because they wasted time to make a fake demo for E3 2003)
@queen remnant cut my life into lechaterite
Yeah sure
this is my Last Resort (Halo 3, 2007)
cormtano
Where to put pictur
13 years since halo reach dropped 
How I like to remember Reach is to remind everyone that Noble Six is still dead, and will remain dead for the foreseeable future
Of course I remember reach, people won't shut up about it
why do all my teamates think oddball is tdm?
I’m currently playing through all the halo fps games in release order and I’m on reach
So that’s why I was asking
Yep 13 years as of today.
I remember playing reach in Iraq. Playing Xbox live was ROUGH
Iraq be dangerous
reach was my first halo but my parents didnt let me have xbox live. Had to play campaign and empty multiplayer maps, pretending there were other players
Look at you now, you’re a Lego
heyyo
I didn’t start playing halo until last June and I instantly couldn’t stop playing
yippie!
I wanna poke an energy sword but not by the blade
do u need premium to unlock the cosmetics from winter update?
Winter update is free for all players
Sup folks
Ok bro
I been going ham in ranked today 
Average 343 fanboy
🤨



I dont see this ending well
add smirkle to halo (it's iconic)
Anyway, how are yall?
better than yesterday (i died, but got better)
Imma smirkle the bruh
What rank are you grim
I don't know why it took me this long to think about doing it
i'm talc 15
heyoo
Gold 1 rn, started ranked like a day or so ago so I'm still fresh
Legit been waiting a month for you to do it
Lmao

👀
Oh, OH
My army
Omg I just saw the guilty spark one haha
Haha

That actually describes the facial expression my xbox avatar has perfectly
Yall ever seen that painting The Laughing Cavalier?
the Hals one?
Yes! The smug mf in the hat
I've been using it as my avatar everywhere for years and he has the smirkle
I just never knew
I read that as "the Halo one"

Time to commission The Laughing Chiefalier
I am one season pass rank away from the firey arms, it is almost time
I crave the smirkle Buck.
Birckle

Do you guys have any tips for the AR for me? I struggle struggle it. BR I can get loose but I can't kill nothing with the AR 😦
@steady jolt Just added a picture of the tattoo
I seen, very cool 😄
Shoot it at everything.
It has a really, really nice ability to secure kills at range by way of ABVOF.
Use it for close range, don’t bother when they’re far away. It rips through unshielded, so if you want to try lowering their shields then melting them with it, that usually works
It’s better on lower sensitivities if you ask me

Anyone else wonder why ODSTs are depicted looking at the sky so much... I want to know if it's just a design choice or if there is a legit reason for it
Cause not only ODSTs have been depicted doing it but the master chief has been depicted doing it as well which just makes me wonder
Characters looking at the sky is very common, suggests contemplation
Especially in sci-fi where space travel and the 'mysteries of the universe' are common themes
Plus in Halo specifically most threats come from the sky, so, makes sense practically too
also turning your head into the distance while grinning or chuckling that's 70% of yellowstone
I thought it was them trying to enjoy what peace they have and take what would be there final look at humanity as thy charge into what might as well be there last battle,
Or simply looking at where they had dropped from.
Those just seemed to obvious to me
So I tried to read deeper
It's nice to sit here and enjoy the small lore drops... you don't get this with every game community
so im looking to get a new tattoo, what should i get?
ODST symbol
UNSC symbol
other halo related
It looks good in tattoo form, I have one on my arm
ill probablt get the halo 2 one since that was my first game
been playing for 16 years
im 23
Happy 13th birthday Reach 
halo 5 was honestly better than infinite
I mean wth was that campaign man
Cortana being like "this is too important John 😀" was actually unsettling

halo 5 multi is my fav
Well, I wasn't expecting someone to join, start complaining, and have it actually be in 5's favor.
Huh. That's unusual.
Usually it's someone complaining about Bungie not being in charge.
the btbsf is choas
I didnt even play 5 tbh
thats what i want in a halo game pure chaos
gameplay wise infinite might be better
but the campaign felt so unfinished
its very underwehelming
like the ending didnt even feel like a proper ending
im sorry but chief shouldve died and your spartan take the torch
June should've made a come back in 5
jun should've died at the start of infinite
or whenever they said the training station blew up
but hopefully it's just a sign that they haven't killed off characters we know off-screen
GUYS
Im fairly certain they confirmed Jun wasnt on the station when it went up
not a funny meme.
i honestly never understood it lol

how about this
Armor Cores are a terrible revenue grab instead of just using Reach customization. Change my mind.
Oh it's Craig's grandpa
Reach only has mark v, infinite has mark v mark 7 hazmat yoroi eaglestrike chimera mirage and probably more in the future
not to mention mk v has new pieces compared to the base game(no matter how mid the armor is)
Wtf? Why is my name in Cyrillic?
It's a nickname you had last year that was partially normalized by one of our bots
Bruh. That was a joke! I changed it so long ago I don’t even remember calling myself “Papa Stalin” in Cyrillic… Although that does sound like something I would do so I don’t believe the mods were screwing with me 😅
Considering each individual core already has Reach customization, you seem confused.
Actually, slightly more than. Gloves are a thing, and there's also movement and armor effects.
Assassin's Creed Unity is getting a remake?
That would be at least good news compared to the other Unity lmao
LMAOOOO
Just talking about this in the Xbox server
Apparently games like Pokémon Go and Raid Shadow Legends were built in Unity, this is going to be absolute:

yeah a decent chunk of mobile games use it, particularly those terrible ad-filled ones
Or a lot a lot of inides uses Unity, it's a big one
iirc someone even mentioned that even for class school things teach Unity, which may affect it too
This basically affects like all the industry in one way or another and I don't think even if Unity goes back and cancell the decision the devs will trust them anymore lol, specially if the CEO is still there
I have only 1 brain cell's worth of knowledge about all this, but to my amoeba brain it seems absolutely crazy that a service provider can enter into a use agreement with a developer who relies on a fee structure...and then years into development that service provider changes the fee structure in a way that is both fundamental in definition and enormous in cost difference.
It's funnier that Unity stated that games with unity that are in services like Gamepass, Microsoft would pay the fees 
Even if they decided to be this heartless, why would not not announce that existing dev users are grandfathered in?
Seems like reputational suicide.
even genshin impact uses it
don't worry the microsoft police will take care of that
All Hoyoverse games uses it
Is it sad that I got back into Halo from a bar of soap?
And I also discovered I can do a pretty spot on impression of grunts
Riot games uses Unity too, Blizzard uses Unity too, Disney/Marvel (like Marvel Snap), etc
Like I said, they use it for mobile/PC games stuff or just mobile games
Rest in peace Vincent Biscuit
Man it feels bad to lose rank points because you have bad teammates
Welcome to Gaming(TM)
It happens way more in infinite than anything else I play
I've started just leaving matches and taking the points loss if it happens
You actually lose more points for leaving than if you just stayed
So be it, at least I can get back in a game quicker
Also I keep seeing the exact same people in all my matches, its really weird
No one plays ranked so the pool is small
Ranked Arena is the most played mode I thought?
not to mention several disney games, half of the games on game pass, many apple games, sony games, etc
and unity explicitly stated that microsoft would be footing the bill for game pass downloads
i am very excited to see Microsoft’s legal team get involved
Theres a guy in twitter who scrapes the population numbers and that says arena is most populated
BTB also is pure pain to play
Only because the vehicle spawns of yet to be balanced
The matchmaking is also horrific and regularly throws me to the wolves. Ranked doesn't do that.
what.
Armour cores are free so that kinda backfired lol
yeah but you can’t combine everything
I think they meant that some armor are restricted to specific armor cores which is what got me upset when I first opened up the game
I really like that new mark helmet but can't wear it with reach armor or mix and match them
The man talks about cake 2 months ago, then nothing until Louis XVI
they did a better job at halo 3 armor in mcc than infinite did
You mean, a collection that includes Halo 3, did a better job at making Halo 3 stuff?
whats the thing that goes under your armor? armor layer? whatever it is. you can change it in halo 3 mcc.
techsuit
I thought it was called a undersuit
techsuit. That gave more options than halo infinite did
is it called techsuit now ?
I think so
you might be right, I dunno
That’s what goes under the tech suit
they even have a chainmale version
infinite armor cores sucks and restricts so much good looking armor to one core. Killed it for me and I won't be touching the rest of the cores besides reach
oh and restricts the coating too... destiny did a better job at shaders than infinites coating.. because each weapon has their coating instead of just making the coating universal...
damn. wtf happened over at 343 when they did this
Man these older halo games are just so hard to play now
they are?
the armour core system is actually good just people want cross-core to mix and match and this is why people are angry with it
that is what i'm talking about
wait. what do you mean by "system"?
I like the core designs as a techsuit design in art. but not to go "nah bro you wanna use this cool helmet? gotta use this armor core"
who is gonna tell him
I thought there was some cross core stuff now?
Yeah I'm gonna stick to infinite, the old games feel really bad now
I yearn for the day I can put the Mark 6 helmet on the Mark 7 core
I used to love Halo 3 😦 now I'm too lapsed to get back into it, its a total sweat fest
can I have a list of cross core armor?
cause i'm having a hard time seeing any cross core armor. I assume they moved the new armor that went to new cores and added to the mark VII Core
I hope it's soon. There's also utilities and chest pieces I'd like. I want to put the health pack on the mark VII from rakshasa
Visors and coatings
LMAO
oh thats pathetic
first off. I'm surprised that visors were also locked to cores. I didn't even know that. coating I found out because I saw some coatings that were in the Mark VII but not the reach core
I'm talking about armor
but hey. good on 343 for porting over the reach armor cause I'm not touching the other cores
That spongebob gif would of been perfect haha
LOL
i love paying money 2 paint my spartan red
Oh you do? Good for you. I prefer going to select the free Cadet Red coating to make my spartan Red.
same
the only thing I ever bought from this game was the year 1 cloud 9 kit but even with that damn thing i'm restricted from using the coating of it because I didn't buy the individual coating... What the hell..
And I can't get the coating anymore cause it's vaulted..
it's probably the only coating I like
I like paying all the store, specially buying the cat ears
HCS bundles generally function differently than the other store bundles
the year 1 and 2 cloud 9 is the only one that gives the black feel. everything else is so grey
and you know what? if they did what warframe did with the colors instead of coating. I would still complain but not as much because at least you'd have the freedom to change colors to what you please.
also just to add some positivity to this chat. I love the choice of not removing the season passes. that gives people less pressure to play the game and allows them to play as they please
Which is something I considered anti consumer to remove the battle pass people paid for. or just out right remove something someone paid for and force them to play at a certain time
it's funny how some people defend time limited battle passes but no one is against battle passes staying forever
Guh
You know what games didn’t need micro transactions and still made a ton of profit. Old halos…
fact
However, the difference between halo reach and.. live service vomits is that the game is updated with more new content every year
Pretty sure the teams were smaller, didn't take as much to produce, inflation, and A LOT more factors to consider
back then a game would be finished and comes out with everything and they move to the next game while only updating the game for some bug fixes and thats it
And pixel gun three dee
"Just to add some positivity"
proceeds to immediately get even more negative
aint that funny? I try to be positive but then realized how screwed the gaming industry is for the consumers
^
Looks more like pontification to me, but whatever.
You're playing the wrong games then. It's getting better.
Clone troopers or ODST
how? did you hear the news about unity?
Almost like when you focus on creating a good game you make profit. Focus on selling a season pass and you get pissed off players.
I miss the days where hunting some of the hardest achievements got you Recon and Hayabusa
Hayabusa wasn't hard lmao
there are few games I would reccomend and I play halo because I think the gameplay is great but i'm dissapointed in other aspects of the game
I wouldn't be surprised if Unity backpedal on that decision.
It wasnt, Recon Vid Master was harder, but people still struggled for Hayabusa without guides
as someone that watched master chief sucks at halo 3. how did you get the hayabusa armor? Jon made a joke about how everyone has it at the games launch
I don't know. companies make greedy decisions and stand by it to the end
I believe it was hunting down all skulls in campaign
but since this is more so affecting the devs making the game on unity and not the consumer. this could backfire hard. since game devs know better
oh.. thats it? eh it's something. I had to 100% the game just to get a cool stance in infinite
Remember Reach
indeed, I don't know what point that was responding to but that is true
Pins, you sure are posting a lot of expensive armor. But it's not as expensive as my red.
Sigh
I dont want to. Speedran achievements at release and got my entire gamerscore reset
Apparently 45/47 possible achievments within 24 hours of release makes me a cheater
oh btw. I was watching arby n the chief. was it true that when xbox live was updated to it's new interace, the achievements were bugged and everyone lost their armor?
Of course I remember Reach, people won't shut up about it no matter how many times I beg them to stop.
I originally made it as a joke about that person saying red costs money, but looking at it, it actually kinda goes hard.
Considering bloom was brought back maybe there hasn't been enough remembering Reach
Lessons on what not to do specifically
bloom in infinite? orr what game?
I remember sam from the fall of reach
this is sick
And so does John in infinite
Yep, Sidekick and the Commando.
oh the sidekick needs a hard nerf. that gun is insane
it's not as with reach, its better
The sidekick does not need a nerf..
commando also is.. meh because of the bloom
That looks like a cod operator
Commando's slept on.
Very military yes
yes it does. have you not seen what people use in a AR sidekick match? everyone switches to the sidearm
The commando needs a buff back
it's precice and accurate. it's better than the AR
How did you feel about that in Reach?
The recoil with rof is bad
I dislike the mechanic's existence regardless of execution
TU Reach is better than launch but its still bad.
MKB player here. I eat good with the Commando.
I'm talking about the sidekick
Side kick would have had cool ads
Doesn't matter. Both games have a very effective pistol.
halo reach pistol kicks more. sidekick in infinite is way too accurate
reach's pistol was better than the DMR lol
5 and sidekick > reach
lol reach's pistol has an insane bloom and you rely on luck if it's close quarter for it
I mean
the bloom for the halo reach pistol is insanely high
If you suffer from skill issue, maybe.
no worse than the DMR bloom ¯_(ツ)_/¯
tap tap tap tapatap tap
but idk why were comparing the games. Sidekick in infinite is insane in comparison to the same game Assault rifle
sidekick is fine
The sound of a DMR being spamfired is seared into my head.
Ma40 has cool sound
I hate it so much.
And satisfactory kills
Everyone is using the sidekick over the AR for obvious reasons
No it's not.
that's not being spammed, that the right rhythm
Ehhh
"everyone"
Sometimes i use sidekick sometimes I use assault rifle
I honestly would like the h5 reticle with the sidekick imo
the sidekick is more accurate in more ranges than the ar. and 1 shots to the head
I still use the AR a lot tbh.
as opposed to clickaclcikaclickaclick click click
I can't kill anyone in any game olderbthan halo 5 lmao, too hard
I do too but in comparison. I kick butt with the sidekick more than the pistol. accuracy isn't so bad and the instant head shot kill is amazing
AR's great for kill securing and achieving ABVOF.
the pistol needs to drop it's accuracy
Nah.
Nope
I like to hit what I'm aiming at.
It needs to drop the reticle
and in change for what?
Though I would like the M6H2 to come back
H5 magnums
idk how the h5 magnum is like
Very well balanced
Just the reticle
Basically the sidekick but weirder in shape.
Yeah
Gunslinger Magnum was the thing, IIRC
That handg is top
I take the sidekick over gunslinger
whats the ttk comparison from the ar and sidekick?
But Tactical over both
do we have numbers?
Pthh pthh pthh pthh
oh I forgot to add how fast the sidekick reload is
A thing of beauty
lmao. precise, fast reload and more range than the ar
I can't make the Halo 5 Magnum look like a KARD.
best magnum model
Ergo I think the Sidekick is better.
Amen
yeah using this sidekick is insane compared to the ar
I'm sure i'd beat you with an AR if you had a siedkick
Yeah sidekick isn’t that good up close like an ar is
Misinput calm down calm down
idk. I wanna find out what the ttk is.
Im going to riot now
There are several videos online to answer your questions
I'm sure someone's sat and fired at a wall in Forge for hours to acquire the info you need
Not like Aozalai would 
I'm pretty sure aozolai made videos on them already
Oh, no, I was just making a joke about his constant unhinged whinging he does nowadays.
Heretic!
Perhaps it's time new youtubers made such videos
My beloved
aozolai did it best tbh
okay this video I found was made a year ago. and.. wow. yeah sidekick wins by ttk time. unless some changes were made to the balance. sidekick wins
also.. does the ar do headshots now?
yes it does
Sorry mate, fashion is fashion
0/10
Oooh snap
the explains the sound prompt im getting. okay so the video here says the sidekick is 1.02s on headshots. the ar is 1.18s on headshots
Do we need a running commentary
bodyshot is 1.6s on AR. for sidekick it's 1.52s
so sidekick wins not only on ttk but it has an insanely fast reload and range
Fit verified. Spartan has drip.
Would be nice to see some new people try
Good luck getting perfects all the time
it's not hard
My Spartan is still the generic with the anniversary green
With the 5 emblem to pay homage to the greatest halo game ever made
dk if you're talking about spade or making the videos lol
I mean this game is designed to do headshots. I'm good with the br and bandit. there's a reason i'm saying the sidekick needs a nerf. i'm literally using it and experience it's power
it's almost like a mini br or just a dmr at that point
i think you can shuffle the discussion to #halo-discussion or #1039633978841374720 now 🙂
There's definitely some dedicated halo youtubers out there
oh I forgot I was in general lmao. mybad
all good
but thats pretty much end of discussion. I got my numbers and there's my reasons to it being nerfed. not much to say about it
Also Rev I've started CE LASO now because I haven't been masochistic enough lately
did you start 4 and 3 odst ages ago because you've done them insanely fast
ngl, I've had the week off so I just said 'eff it' and dedicated a day to each
Following Halo Completionist's guides
damn, you'll be done with all the achievements pretty soon
Aye Reach was the first one I kicked out
solid
reach laso is ez
Me: sewersliiiide
hi
Not super fond of the Halo infinite spartan armor
i miss elites
meow
You see that's where you did your mistake
You gotta do H2 first so nothing can hurt you anymore
you got a point but flood missions will always scare me more than jackle snipers
Yeah, with hindsight I'd have done a different order
It is what it is
TwT
You leave for 30 minutes and you've missed do much
Wort Wort Wort
Sup nerds am back
@fickle drift don't DM people randomly.
Nuh uh, you ain't getting my details son
it’s a country
Youre a country
@fickle drift No.
Do any of you have any Halo novels recommendations? I have a bunch I bought online as a bundle but idk where to start
i have a resource for you!
hang on
That'd a lot
22 years worth
🐈
One day, you will have to answer for all of your actions.
And God may not be so merciful.
Same
I got 2 phones
They should honestly bring the beam rifle back, i haven't seen anyone talk about that at all.
A banished beam rifle
I got 2 2️⃣ phones 📱📱
Okay
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HALO REACH
meow?
wtf how dare you siege
🐈🐈🐈
meow
i want to see the helmet wings on brodie
thought that was hyabusa lol
Ngl that lower right spartan looks chunky
Didn’t mean to ping
I told you this year’s was good 🙂
Do people still hate Halo 4?
Also why is my username a randomly generated xbox name 💀
I never did that
I think I set it as my username one time, but never as a server nickname
I'm gonna bird up so good
Hey @dreamy stirrup Is it possible if we could have Custom vcs on this server besides just using General Discussion?
Specifically titled for custom games
Please don't tag 343 employees. See #rules-and-guidelines for more information.
It’s fun revisiting all of Halo’s games and playing them on Legendary.
I can’t wait to play Halo 2 on Legendary. I heard my new armor shields are extremely resilient and very efficient
What’s wrong with the general or squad or other ones?
I’m not really sure I see a use case for another set that’s largely covered by what we have
The shields may be resistant, just not your body 
The community demands a voice channel for attempts at stacking a world record amount of satsumas on your head while walking a mile in fuzzy slippers
Well… at least I get to play as the Arbiter with his new armor. It can’t be worse than an Elite Minor’s combat harness
Surely as a member of the Sangheili race, my constitution won’t be beaten out by an unggoy
I like to give the rare friendly grunts fuel rod cannons
I mean that's just good tactical sense
Halo will literally die without this and it will be all Activision's fault
yes, tactics are to blame.....and not because I enjoy explosions

Oh sorry i forgot that rule
I guess we could use the general discussion or squad battle ones
At least General Discussion goes up to like 99 ppl in vc so it’s all good
Hi
@still python check #lfg-and-voice-chat because it tells you how you can change the number of people in your VC
so you can override the 4
You’d never lie to me, right?
Yeah, i’ve seen our vc do it sometimes
never ever 🙂
Lolol
Fun
I can't believe halo reach is 23
I know right? I wasn't even alive when it came out!
It's crazy how Halo Reach had better graphics than any other game up until 2011.
ODST also looked amazing for its time tbh
Lol I was messing. But yeah. ODST looked good.
Always thought the gloves looked a bit off though
MS rewards
Yeah everything else was amazing. Especially the grunts and jackal shields
I meant 13
Jetpack brutes still terrify me to this day lmfaoo I remember the first time seeing them
The fact that they can just casually leap across the entire map 🤣
Then you also had the random one jumping 10ft into the air because you broke his armor

Has anyone else been getting screwed over when it comes to teammates in matches?
Yes
Real question is who hasnt?

To be fair; everyone says you aren't supposed to play with matches.
If you are talking about infinite the mm system does that on purpose.
Yeah, why?
I end up having to carry my team and ending up losing anyways because all they do is hide and run away lol
That SBMM LOVES putting that OP player on the other team don't it
will i get the legendary and LASO achievment if i use mission replay or do i need a new save?
for infinite btw
I feel old (but I’m not)
Prepare to go 3-12 the next one

Devs are supposed to make their games, not play them!
24 hours in the sweatshops 8 days a week 😡
Devs should be play testing their games
Playtesting is different than playing on the main branch 
most knowledgeable armchair dev
Uh it shouldn't since it goes hand in hand

Long night of solace is long night of OVER
why are the power weapons in halo infinite so goofy? Fake gravity hammers and silly banished weapons with richocheting bullets..
the hardlight weapons aren't banished
i dont know what they are nor how to use them
how do you not know how to use the hardlight weapons
idek what a hardlight weapon is. Most of the time i just use the default loadouts because theyre more reliable than the bouncy bullet guns
good for you
why would you test the existing retail build instead of upcoming stuff that isn't released

hi!, im new here
same

Listen here bucko

so dont @ all of 343?
No.
Just had 4 hours of forging disappear cause of an issue with the dedicated servers 😭
i'll at 342
Nah @434 instead

When I saw it I was going to ping you
But I got distracted by elden ring
so i was trying to figure out what others meant by sword bleedthrough had always been a thing
and i realized they were referring to the fact that if you AIMED PROPERLY and TIMED IT PROPERLY then you could POTENTIALLY knock a sword user back
With a hammer?
Oh yeah I’ve done that once or twice
right, it's difficult and requires skill.
Very hard to time, and I got it out of pure chance
but it's very doable.
Unlike what another user was saying where infinite letting bleedthrough damage on sword vs melee was 'how it always was.'
you ever wanna just THROTTLE someone
's connection speeds?
on the other hand i guess their connection is already pretty slow.
Anyway! Power melee weapons are still in dire need of rectifying on a very basic level. The energy sword is slightly better than a standard melee, which is roughly where you would want a non-power equippable melee weapon to be.
unless the point of it all is to just work in coordination with the other things negatively impacting melee gameplay in infinite, which I doubt.
that said, there is some kind of odd melee 'shield' in effect, at least when you have the sword. test it out on ninja slayer- the fusion coils are much less likely to kill sword wielders.
??
I forgot I set my user to that when Halo Infinite's multi-player was delayed for a few
like maybe i would be genuinely better off remapping my melee button to some other function
like walking or something.
picking up halo for the first time since early launch. Is there a matchmaking playlist with forge maps right now?
squad battle community duos ect
gotcha! thank you
would it kill 343 to like, make the bots a bit better?
👀
a little self preservation would be nice
would make them a less willing participant at the very least lol
hey guys
“We cheat Death from his rightful victory
No one can defeat us. We are glad to plunge
Feet first into hell in the knowledge that we will rise”
i like halo 5's muiltiplayer atmosphere not including the sweaty vibe

@dreamy stirrup Do you know if there are any plans to do anything about the rampant cheaters in Halo 1?
Please don't tag 343 employees. See #rules-and-guidelines for more information.
How do you do, how do you do, how do you do
how can there be an emergency in discord?
What?
Heheheha
Flood gaming
Me telling my lil bro not to drink the Spicy Clorox Water
where halo battle royale 😤
Anyone else make Sandwiches that look like they from the Scooby-Doo franchise... like so big people look at you funny then Proceed to eat it not leaving a single bite behind... I do that.. alot actually cause of my high metabolism lol
I get called grif alot :/
Hardly get to make those Sandwiches so I enjoy them when I do >-<
Is it just me or is the Covenant in Halo 2 significantly more braindead than in Halo CE?
In CE, elites tend to strafe in and out of cover, trying to bait shots, force me to get in close. They dodge overcharged plasma pistol shots and are just extremely tactical
In Halo 2, these same elites just sit there, get stunned and die. They do not seek cover nearly as often and get rinsed because they’re stupid enough to stay there firing in the same location over and over again instead of seeking cover
Yeah I’ve noticed that too.
For an example I was playing the second mission of CE on legendary once and I was trying to snipe this one on an adjacent structure and when I was taking cover to reload he went out of his way to to run all the way over to where I was to attack me
Almost as if he knew my guard was down from that distance
Yeah 2 downgraded elite AI for the behavior tree which i dont see very useful tbh
I mean it was revolutionary but it didnt work out too well
Raids, mass spamming, compromised accounts, there's quite a few things that could require our immediate attention
I also was playing coop with a friend and my bud went afk for a few minutes to go to the bathroom or something while that happened. Dude knew I was alone and without backup lol
The elites will also fall back some and get to cover if you stripped their shields but didn’t kill em.
Sword wielders will also try and bait you into attacking first too alot
i finally found my halo server
There was also another moment in CE where I was behind a rock trying to shoot an elite and attempted to emp his shields with the plasma pistol but missed the shot and he came around the side of it to try and melee me as it was overheating . Another example there of how smart there AI was
suprising enough ive never played halo infinite

I am playing all the Bungie Halos on Legendary. I already completed Halo 2, as it was the first one I did, but now I am doing it again
However, I did CE on Legendary and found that in CE, they were tactical, intelligent and coordinated. They truly were your equals and so they had the tactics to prove it
In H2, I was stunned that the elites typically just sit there in the same spot, don’t seek cover nearly as often, don’t try to sike you out… honestly it didn’t seem like they were anywhere near as threatening as they were in CE, and this includes the fact that your new armor shields are “extremely resilient”
Yeah they also have a tendency to keep shooting at whatever spot they last saw you if you went behind cover
I guess that is our daily reminder that Halo 2 is technically an incomplete game
Good morning
Morning
I just got the peekers disadvantage achievement 
Idk what that is
Please don't bypass the word filters
Anyone see that apex halo mod
I’d genuinely love if 343 jus made that
Officially. With better textures and models
other than it being a cool crossover as a mod, that would be horrible to actually play
BUT we can go the titanfall route instead in terms of mechs and halo
YAS MORE MECHS
give me Jerome’s mantis pls
it had a specific name iirc
Yggdrasil?
I keep getting kicked off this chat ... great ain't it?
If they put Jerome's mantis in halo infinite I would want to try it ... that sounds amazing
I want the other ones they had
