general-chat

[vale coral]

lfg ranked diamond

[oak cave]

Ill just rather pay upfront

[amber mirage]

About as lame as going to a controller repair shop to replace my batteries

[hasty zinc]

I'm dying lmao

[oak cave]

Haha

[pulsar cobalt]

Hold up so that means 103 helmets are gonna be for all cores

[oak cave]

That convo was 6 months ago how do you remember it

[pulsar cobalt]

that's a load of helmets like jesus christ

[oak cave]

Oooh heck yea

[candid solar]

Affirmative.

[amber mirage]

6 months is like 6 seconds to me

[hasty zinc]

idk about rok but I remember stuff people said in here years ago

[amber mirage]

There are some things that stuck

Like HQ day

[oak cave]

Well you are staff so you are paid to do that

[hasty zinc]

paid

[amber mirage]

He's only paid in emoji reacts

[oak cave]

Lmao

Well you are staff so you are morally inclined to do that*

[amber mirage]

And the emoji reacts are based on on tipping economy

[elfin glacier]

i rembr.... 🤤

[queen remnant]

Aegis get payed by 343 shillbux

[elfin glacier]

gold req packs....

[hasty zinc]

where do you come up with this stuff

[candid solar]

Shillbux, unfortunately, can only be redeemed in Halo 5 for gold Req packs.

[normal owl]

I still have one of the Platinum Packs from watching Halo tourneys.

[queen remnant]

I'm a certified shill, so next week is going to be wild for the store

[pulsar cobalt]

Can't wait to see what the main menu music is like i hope its zeta halo again

[obsidian wyvern]

gritty

[normal owl]

I cannot wait to fire up Halo, then find myself 90 minutes later still in Armor Hall mixing and matching.

[candid solar]

Same

I think ULLR will finally be where it belongs for me though

On Mark VII

[lapis snow]

Wait, so now 20 first tiers of bp will always rotate independently from the premium, or what ?

[oak cave]

They will rotate for f2p's

Paid players can go back and access them

The rest has to hurry up

Or the battlepass gets glassed

[queen remnant]

The battlepass is always there available to buy tho

[jaunty yoke]

Ok that Flood customization got me sold

[oak cave]

-Buy

[queen remnant]

Yes

[oak cave]

Yes

[queen remnant]

Compared to most games that battlepass gets removed, I think this is a good way to buy and progress it anytime you want

[oak cave]

Yea its a good system but it makes the season feel less special

Since you can go back to its content whenever you like

With out any downside

[queen remnant]

And that's a bad thing?

I honestly don't want to rush every 3 or so months to get everything from the pass

[oak cave]

Yes but not for us

[jaunty yoke]

Future proofing your content is never a bad thing

[queen remnant]

Who is us? LMAO

[oak cave]

The players

[queen remnant]

A lot of people praised this

[oak cave]

It just gives microsoft a bit less money

But eh they will live

[queen remnant]

Did you forget about the store, the tier skips and now later with the operations?

[jaunty yoke]

Mortal Kombat 11 for example, has seasonal skins for the characters that don't come back, so you can't get them anymore, and you won't be able to make any real progress once the servers shut down
That's a terrible idea if you ask me, so I'm glad Infinite took that precaution with the passes

[molten pelican]

ghost recon wildlands on sale for 10 bucks

[queen remnant]

It should be the standard

[oak cave]

Wait there are tier skips in the game?

Since when?

[molten pelican]

those who like open world + shooters, I highly recommend if you want hours of gameplay

[jaunty yoke]

Since launch

[queen remnant]

Since the launch of the game

[oak cave]

Oh

[obsidian wyvern]

https://vxtwitter.com/Kidskull51/status/1711451022562840933

[oak cave]

Huh

[queen remnant]

People go spend 2000 credits to buy and get 20 tiers that fast too when the season launches

[jaunty yoke]

Regarding the future of a certain game mode in Infinite however

Something should be done about the way Fiesta and Super Fiesta are handled
If weapons and equipment won't get variants post launch, then it's a problem
Because regular Fiesta has all the weapons, but Super Fiesta only has campaign variants, the Bandit and Threat Seeker for example, since they are DLC, they don't have a variant, and they are not in Super Fiesta
And the same will happen to any upcoming weapon and equipment

[oak cave]

I never heared anyone do that

Or at least in this game

[queen remnant]

Heard doesn't meant that is not being done and if 343 is still keeping it that way for like all seasons they did, then there is demand of it

It's just that simple

[oak cave]

I dont think demand is the right word but sure

[queen remnant]

Same goes on why there is going to be a pack of 2000 credits for operations

[jaunty yoke]

They took away assassinations because stats showed most players didn't use them in Halo 5
(Same thing that happened to playable Elites all things considered)

[queen remnant]

If it's there, is because there is people willing to buy it

[jaunty yoke]

Supply and demand

[oak cave]

Okay that isnt the case

[queen remnant]

Then what it is

[oak cave]

But i get the tier skips sure

I get ya point

[jaunty yoke]

Fortnite has pass tier skips, Apex Legends does
Many live service games do that, meaning there is an interest in that option

[oak cave]

Tier skips exists because there is a demand to clear halo infinite faster

[obsidian wyvern]

some people dont have time to play but still want the content, so its there for them

[queen remnant]

That or also just want everything in one go too

[obsidian wyvern]

which is why i wasnt against mcc being monetised as long as it was contained to just buying skips

[jaunty yoke]

They are bringing Flood customization not because they suddenly chose to do it now, but because it's popular demand to have the Flood return

[oak cave]

Fortnite does it since fomo

[obsidian wyvern]

^

[void magnet]

Shoulda made them available a day later so they would be up on 11/7 🧠

[hasty zinc]

[livid nova]

I'm at level 35 in season 4, i need to get that done

[jaunty yoke]

You gotta run man

[oak cave]

Your good biz

[jaunty yoke]

Are you packing some double xp boosts? You're gonna need them

[oak cave]

You have most of the cool stuff unlockrd already

[livid nova]

I've been busy with other games since season 4, like Jedi survivor and GoW Ragnarok

I need to finish it tho for the credits so i can get season 5

[queen remnant]

You have all the time of the world

[oak cave]

Just get the armor efect and you can do this

[jaunty yoke]

We don't even know anything about it and I'm already excited for season 6

[oak cave]

Man wait for season 5 first

[jaunty yoke]

Can't

[oak cave]

Dont lift your hopes that up that fast

[jaunty yoke]

When season 3 came out all I could think about was how much I wanted season 4

[oak cave]

Fair enough

[jaunty yoke]

No but on a serious note
We got regular maps, Forge maps, legacy modes, and now Firefight and AI in Forge is coming
What other substantial new content could they possibly add going forward? Griffball?

[oak cave]

Idk if griffball could sell a season

But ay they somehow sold us the last season with infection so we will see

[jaunty yoke]

Me neither

Only real thing I want is more vehicles and customization for Banished weapons and vehicles

You don't know how much I'd love to have purple Ghosts again

[cunning sinew]

Maybe campaign add ons and content surrounding it

[oak cave]

Yea thats not comming mate

[jaunty yoke]

You know how there's a 6 month timeskip between the intro and the first mission
We need a campaign story about those 6 months
Like, it seems the most interesting stuff happened during that time

[oak cave]

As much as we wish the halo infinite story dlc wont be comming

If halo 5 didnt have it why would infnite

[cunning sinew]

I feel like infinite is trying to do something else though and it's whole concept is to keep evolving

[oak cave]

Thats most 343 games

Idk if any of them try to do something with out something else too

[hasty zinc]

I mean to be fair that's most Halo games. It's not a franchise really known for campaign DLC

[jaunty yoke]

Not only Halo 5

[oak cave]

Yea since most of the games were back in 2010

Halo 5 released 6 years ago i dont think dlc would be that hard to add

[jaunty yoke]

The only game you could say had a real story expansion was Halo 4 with Spartan Ops and HW2 with the Banished DLC
You could consider ODST, but that was sold like a standalone game

[hasty zinc]

I mean you have to develop DLC like you would an entire new campaign depending on what you want to do with it, I wouldn't imagine it would be easy.

[oak cave]

We dont consider halo wars now

But sure spartan ops

I guess thats dlc

[hasty zinc]

why not consider Halo Wars?

[terse bear]

with this rate of increase in update quality, im not surviving season 6

[hasty zinc]

what does that even mean

[oak cave]

Tactical spin off

[jaunty yoke]

I mean I do cry when I remember Halo 4 and how good and underrated it is

[oak cave]

I dont think we should consider it while talking about the mainline games

[terse bear]

i was considering buying halo wars on steam but then i watched the new trailer

[oak cave]

And what changed

[jaunty yoke]

You could say Halo Wars 1 is not canon and you wouldn't even be wrong

Its only connection to the story is contextualizing the beginning of Halo Wars 2

[oak cave]

Well it dosent connect to stuff yes

But it isnt not canon

It takes place long in the past

[hasty zinc]

halo wars one connects to Halo Wars 2 which is connected to current Halo

[oak cave]

It isnt really meant to set up for the future since the future really wasnt meant to be

Its still canon just useless

[jaunty yoke]

And Halo Wars 1 has the Prophet of Regret
Possibly the most random character you could have chosen for a prequel
But I liked his dialogues

[normal owl]

Man I had such a witty response to something half-written, then a meeting happened.

[icy lion]

Has it already been mentioned that the 96mb gif embedded into the post in #announcements is absolutely destroying discord mobile? 😂

[dreamy stirrup]

wait is it really 96mb

omg

i'm sorry

i'll remove and repost with a picture lmao

discord let me update it so i said "cool"

@icy lion i've updated lol

[jaunty yoke]

Very awesome

That Prism map looks real pretty and I can already tell pro players are gonna make disgusting trickshots with the explosive crystals across the map

[oak cave]

You can do that on all the maps

Just locate explosive barrel
Chuck on enemy
And shoot it

[jaunty yoke]

This is not Counter Strike 😡

[oak cave]

Not yet

[near tree]

Are operations replacing or coinciding with events?

And could the winter pass last year be considered like an operation?

[steady jolt]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/battle-pass-operations-season-5

[hasty zinc]

replacing

[obsidian wyvern]

so I just watched the 15 min ign gameplay

looks like they're adding the threat seeker into normal matches too
super fiesta variant weapons are now also power weapons, the needler on the new crystal map is pretty cool

I forgot the other 2 things I noticed lol

[steady jolt]

Prism is such a sick map

[near tree]

Interesting, thank you

[obsidian wyvern]

my one concern is that I think the Jorge flood form is a kit and not able to be used separately for customisation

but from what I hear, kits are going to be customisable which is confusing to me

[hasty zinc]

I think we're just gonna have to wait to figure it all out

[livid nova]

Forgeable ai is gonna be so fun

I need to finish my forge map

[fossil skiff]

Customizable kits would be cool. Some days I wanna swap colors or shoulders and can’t be bothered to do all that clicking

[livid nova]

By finish i mean make the entire thing

[jaunty yoke]

What is the best weapon in all of Halo history

And why is it the Sticky Detonator

[icy lion]

Haha ty! 🙏. I thought my phone was messing up at first 😅

[dreamy stirrup]

it let me upload it so i thought it was fine

i didn't bother checking the size lol

[steady jolt]

96mb

That's brilliant

[hasty zinc]

make the next one 99.9

[steady jolt]

Hm, Resident Evil film collection is on sale in the MS Store

[hasty zinc]

main menu before going into the customization screen

[tired wraith]

Evil resident

[hasty zinc]

main menu after going into customization screen

[tired wraith]

What do you think your spartan looks like unmasked

I imagine mine looks like demarco

[steady jolt]

[hasty zinc]

brad pitt

[tired wraith]

Hah

I could see that

[hasty zinc]

either Brad Pitt or Daffy Duck

[tired wraith]

Pfft

[steady jolt]

Natalie Dormer

Hunger Games Natalie Dormer, I should clarify

[fresh urchin]

Yo wait is there a 100 tier battle pass for season 5 or is it just a 20 tier one

[verbal hawk]

wen firefight?

[dreamy stirrup]

#announcements and read the blog

[obsidian wyvern]

50 tiers, first 20 are free for about a month

[fresh urchin]

Ok thanks

[obsidian wyvern]

https://vxtwitter.com/magpieleon/status/1711417420089270359

[livid nova]

I think i kinda like the idea of the new battle pass

Less filler hopefully

[pulsar cobalt]

There seems to be 2 eod helmets also TV show and the reach one

[obsidian wyvern]

where did my embed go

combined arms with these species together, hmm

[pulsar cobalt]

Hot

I really want elites for infinite like really bad and even the YouTube chat was crazy for elites

Really hope 343 consider doing them

[left bone]

meow

[shadow shoal]

ooh is halo makin a come back

[quartz ridge]

No it’s not

[steady jolt]

🤨

[shadow shoal]

season 5 lookin cool tho

[queen remnant]

It's been getting a comeback ever since winter update

[worthy crown]

I mean holy hell I never expected 343 to be THIS GOOD

[shadow shoal]

the only problem is pc player count now lol

first impressions are a huge thing

[quartz ridge]

Every season they get a slight bump, and then drops to normal population

[queen remnant]

Doesn't matter too much when the game has crossplay everywhere

[shadow shoal]

it really depends on if 343 can be consistently good with every update to draw in more and more ppl

also nobody on xbox uses vc so its boring

[limpid ferry]

Will there be a new armor core with Season 5 or is 343 doing away with future armor cores?

[icy ridge]

Hello mortals

[obsidian wyvern]

we have no idea

[pulsar cobalt]

CE mark V is most likely the new core

[quartz ridge]

They have been good. People just don’t care about halo anymore

[limpid ferry]

I mean cross core customization is really nice to see at last but I still like the idea of more Armor Cores advancing the customization of what already exists.

[pulsar cobalt]

Infinite has been super good since winter update

[limpid ferry]

Side note how many players here are close to max Career Rank, I’m platinum Cadet Grade 2.

[worthy crown]

I wouldn't say super good but yeah, it was good

Mk v here I come

[limpid ferry]

Anyways now that we’ve got full cross core helmet customization on all current existing cores, I’d very much like to see 343 do Shoulders, Wrist, Utilities, and Knee Pads next.

[pulsar cobalt]

Same can't wait for this core

[pulsar cobalt]

I reckon shoulders might be next but I'm glad we got helmets

[quartz ridge]

Never understood the need for cross core

[sacred halo]

It’s crazy, MW3 brings nothing new to the table but CoD fans buy anything.

[quartz ridge]

Because COD fans are great

[limpid ferry]

CoD just makes money off its fans regardless of the offers or differences.

[quartz ridge]

Committed, unlike halo fans

[obsidian wyvern]

here he goes blaming the fans again

[hasty zinc]

the road to hero is going great! loaded up infinite, then saw the new season of Kitchen Nightmars aired, finished that and then started the Tom Cruise movie American Made

[limpid ferry]

Season 5 of Infinite is going to be spectacular!

[steady jolt]

Have you seen American Made before?

[sacred halo]

Honestly, I did quit after Season 2 but came back in Season 4. Im one of those “fans” unfortunately. Don’t plan on leaving anytime soon now though.

[hasty zinc]

first time

[limpid ferry]

Do we know if the Flood customization is going to be available for all armor cores or is strictly tied to the Mark V B armor core?

[steady jolt]

You're in for a ride, it's a great film

[hasty zinc]

I love it so far

[pallid island]

Infinite uses Azure servers right?

[quartz ridge]

Kudos on you returning

[pallid island]

if they do i want to know how much ping i will get on their servers

[steady jolt]

Infinite runs on Azure instances, yeah

[limpid ferry]

The season 5 trailer just unveiled so many goodies

[pallid island]

I fricking hate being from chile and not being able to play cool halo

[limpid ferry]

Is the new Bandit EVO going to replace the Standard Bandit Rifle in Season 5?

[quartz ridge]

What is cool halo

[pallid island]

Halo Infinite

Or any halo MP in general

[limpid ferry]

I played more Halo Reach multiplayer than any other Halo game.

[round laurel]

There's a server in Sao Paulo, I believe. You could just ping test a server there and it'll probably be the same.

[pallid island]

Nobody plays in south america

[quartz ridge]

Ah

[round laurel]

I know

[limpid ferry]

Halo 5 was just a mess

[quartz ridge]

A lot of South Americans plays gears

[pallid island]

Most of south americans are playing Valorant, Counter strike, league of legends and none of those games interest me

[pallid island]

Yeah but gears is a xbox exclusive not on pc yet, for some reason.... (i wanna legit play gears)

[novel tangle]

i just saw the trailer for season 5 and i think i almost choked on my own amazement

[quartz ridge]

No it isn’t

[pallid island]

Gears 5 only is

[quartz ridge]

Gears 5 is for pc

[pallid island]

But i wanna play the original trilogy

[quartz ridge]

Get an Xbox

[pallid island]

Why should i get a console just to play a couple of games

[quartz ridge]

Because there’s other games to play

[obsidian wyvern]

which is most of the world really

[pallid island]

Yeah tbh, Halo around these parts... yeah not popular

[round laurel]

You can play Ultimate Edition on PC.

For Gears 2 or 3, you'll need to cloud stream it.

[weary hound]

[pallid island]

i forgot that gears 1 had a pc port

why gears 1 had one and the other didnt? same with halo LOL

[obsidian wyvern]

this helmet not having a shiny visor means emile might look more like he did in reach now

[pallid island]

anyways is kinda weird that gears 5 is on pc and steam but the rest of the gears isnt yet like a collection

[round laurel]

I believe it has something to do with MS not fully committing to previous PC projects like Windows Live.

[pallid island]

Yeah probably nowadays i think they could do a mcc type of stuff

[round laurel]

Basically they'd keep restarting their PC plans, until recently, in which it seems they're fully committed to giving equal experiences on both platforms.

[sacred halo]

Rumors were saying it will replace BR in ranked. Tashi (HCS) said there will be news about this at the HWC this weekend.

[tardy field]

https://youtu.be/XZj8-HnzRDA?si=bqBXpl3f3Iwe_2o3

[ivory coyote]

oh i matched with postums lol

[topaz stratus]

Hey so i have not played since maybe 2 months after launch. One of my biggest issues was the store. Ive started playing and am a bit confused. Are some bundles just permanent in the store? Ive noticed i can buy some armour but its not shown in the store.

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah lots of armour can now be brought through the customisation menu

They did this back in S3

[molten pelican]

I want to try snake nuggets

[errant barn]

halo on geforce now?

i just want to play season 5 i already missed season 4

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[south sundial]

Happy thanksgiving

[errant barn]

It’s thanksgiving in canada for those who don’t know

[tender solstice]

WE’VE BEEN ENGAGED

[rare cedar]

Happy Thanksgiving to our northern ally 😄

[tender solstice]

THANKS

quick question

What’s everyone’s favorite noble team member

[native solar]

either jorge or emile

[pulsar cobalt]

Careful with your name you might be forced to change it 😂

[tender solstice]

EMILE ALWAYS

[errant barn]

changed it

[pure spindle]

sticking your friendlies with it because there's no friendly fire so you can just get easy overkills >>>>>>>>>>>>

[dreamy stirrup]

not that we'd know

.>

[pulsar cobalt]

Is it considered team killing if you let a enemy player on your turret because I've always done this

Pretty fun to do your team's looking at you going what 😂

[civic walrus]

do you get a driver assist for it?

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm not sure i will have to check

Don't think so anyway

[indigo egret]

[obsidian wyvern]

this looks so funny with the gundam arms idk why

[pulsar cobalt]

Any 4k wallpapers for season 5 or do I need to wait until it's released

[pallid island]

Looks like roblox arms

[obsidian wyvern]

actually that's pretty accurate lol

[fickle drift]

A cool idea would be to put hunters behind doors in a PVP map have buttons to release the hunters or something

[hasty zinc]

stckr omg

🚗 💥

[tired wraith]

Lol it does look like roblos arms

[grizzled gazelle]

I think it's kinda odd how the halo figures/action figures like the World of Halo series kinda fizzled out on store shelves after a while, even after the release of Halo Infinite

[tired wraith]

Well not a lot of kids like halo

It’s mainly teens-adults

[errant barn]

im 13 and i like halo

thats true, alot of my friends play fortnite

[tired wraith]

I mean like 5-10 year olds

[errant barn]

ohh

[tired wraith]

Yeah

[left bone]

HAAAAGH

[tired wraith]

Yknow people that would play with action figures

[errant barn]

yeah they’re better off playing minecraft on ps4

[hasty zinc]

ikr who buys action figures as an adult

[tired wraith]

To play with I mean

[fickle drift]

ngl if Hot Toys made an Infinite Chief I'd seriously consider it

[hasty zinc]

have you seen the 1000 toys Chief?

[grizzled gazelle]

quietly raises hand as I kinda collect and play with Transformers figures as a 27yo, soon to be 28

[fickle drift]

I don't think so 🔍

[hasty zinc]

sorry 1000 toys not re-edit

[grizzled gazelle]

Nice

[hasty zinc]

I was poking fun at myself because I'm 37 and still collect them

[grizzled gazelle]

Nice

[hasty zinc]

another shot

[fickle drift]

Looks not bad actually

[pulsar cobalt]

Imagine heavy price paid redone for infinite

[sour gate]

transformers are alot of fun
I buy halo action figures and legos still

[tired wraith]

Legos are goated

[sour gate]

who cares about "conformity" have fun and buy cool stuff you like

[sour gate]

fr
I have a small box of them unassembled so I can just build whatever comes to mind

[tired wraith]

I’m 15 and I’m going to buy a bib >:)

Yesssss

[sour gate]

you could wear a full suit of odst or spartan armor and have a bib on it

[tired wraith]

Haha that would be awesome 😎

[tired wraith]

Also wat

Elite moment?

[granite pelican]

LET'S GO RAIDERS 🏴‍☠️

[storm summit]

Sorry, Buffalo 4 life

[candid solar]

"Those fans" is a wide reaching statement for this franchise.

[open robin]

GOD BLESS AMERICA OORAH

[granite pelican]

Must be rough lol

[storm summit]

Ironic

[granite pelican]

I mean supporting a team that gets so close to a SB but never achieves one

[storm summit]

Oh, yes

It's agonizing man

Allen gets cocky and the O and D line get tired

[granite pelican]

I been rooting for y'all in the playoffs. Would love to see the Bills win, especially when they play the Chiefs lol. Can't stand the Chiefs

[storm summit]

Same man

[analog arrow]

does anyone know if the premium battle pass boost thing that gives you 25 levels can be used on any of your battlepasses? like if i buy this seasons battlepass and then buy the one tomorrow, can i get a free 50 levels on the S5 BP?

[uneven depot]

Im confused if the hero rank reward for master chief is permanent thing

[stark pier]

Honestly i just hope next bp isnt mid like this one

[analog arrow]

i was reading that its only 50 tiers instead of 100 but it will be more rewarding/less filler

[candid solar]

It's permanent as far as can be known.

[candid solar]

I mean, take into account, it's what... 3.5/50 tiers (Fractions are fun) versus 1/50?

[uneven depot]

Thats neat, I dont wanna have to grind for a temporary thing

[candid solar]

Sounds like less filler to me.

[candid solar]

Me with 152 in Halo 5 :c

[storm summit]

Shoulder pads, coatings, emblems etc are bundled together

[uneven depot]

I wonder, will pre existing armor coatings be changed to cross core

[storm summit]

They said in the WP post it's quality over quantity, alongside that, you can get 1k creds with the BP

[storm summit]

They'd have to be for cross core helmets I think

[uneven depot]

Neat

[naive flume]

After playing Halo I think war is awesome, I'm gonna enlist in the military they are just so cool in the game

[forest lagoon]

[left bone]

mooooooo

[wary dove]

For the master chief armour in halo infinte season 5 you need to reach hero rank

What is that meant to mean

[void magnet]

Max career rank, so earn like a bazillion xp

[wary dove]

Wait so like max out the battlepass and then continue?

[cedar turret]

no.

[void magnet]

No like you have a career rank separate from BP

[cedar turret]

The free time-o-meter rank.

[wary dove]

Sorry if this is annoying I started halo infinte again so I am a new player OHHH wait do u mean like the bronze grade and all that?

[void magnet]

Bronze -> silver -> gold -> platinum -> onyx -> hero

[void magnet]

Yea

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/career-rank-overview-season-4

[slim zealot]

Battle pass xp is different from career xp

[quartz ridge]

Lmao

One more hour until I can play forza

[granite pelican]

RAIDERRRRRS!!!!! 🏴‍☠️

[analog arrow]

man i havent played in a while and this doubles playlist is great

really hoping they keep it

[stiff trout]

I wasn't able to play during the Tenrai III event and it had stuff I wanted, do we know if it's coming back with the whole "buy past events" in S5?

Or am I just out of luck?

[void magnet]

Ah I’d imagine they would be available, although I’d really prefer an event shop with earnable currency for old event items 😭

[stiff trout]

I think Dauntless does that, past battle pass items go in a vault and you use battle pass currency to buy items out of it like a shop lol

[naive flume]

They should make Halo pay to win

[stiff trout]

You need to buy internet and electricity to be able to play, it was already pay to win to begin with, smh

[swift tendon]

lol

[pallid island]

Yo i think ik why i am bad in halo MCC

Is because i have 144 ping lol

And nobody plays in south american servers so

[stiff trout]

Yes my Latam brother, you're in the same boat I am lol

Especially in CE

[naive flume]

🇨🇱❓

[pallid island]

Eh? In CE im pretty good but yea

[stiff trout]

I actually just got a south american match in Halo Infinite so I'm pogged

[pallid island]

Yea

[stiff trout]

Weon

[naive flume]

Eyyyyy

viva Chile ctm

[pallid island]

We should play someday are you from PC?

[flint ferry]

servers just go down for anyone?>

[naive flume]

Yeah

Xbox as well

[pallid island]

MCC?

[stiff trout]

Alright Chileans, time to band together

[naive flume]

ye

[stiff trout]

I need to practice my spanish anyways

[naive flume]

Somos el mejor país de Chile

[stiff trout]

Exacto

[pallid island]

Si

Anyways is so difficult to play like that lol, if i win either im lucky or the opponent were low ranks

[warm minnow]

Hmm did the Halo Infinite servers just go down?

[faint quest]

had to of

[midnight karma]

Yea mine is down 😕

[flint ferry]

did for me

[naive flume]

We should start pretending that servers are up for anyone asking

[dapper minnow]

yeah its down

[warm minnow]

Ah ok good to know it's not my connection. GGs I guess

[naive flume]

Servers working fine for me

[stiff trout]

Ahh dang, the gods saw me finally playing a match with low ping and decided to bring the servers down before I could play another, gg

[rugged parcel]

Damn, there goes one of my 230 double xp boosts 😦

[stiff trout]

I just found another match, let's see if it launches

Oh, it's launching

Take that god!

Ahhh it's north american, nevermind

[naive flume]

hehehe

[pallid island]

RIP

[rugged parcel]

It cleared up for me, I have found a game. in NA

[pallid island]

The only place where you find LATAM Servers: Halo infinite

Halo MCC? No where to be seen outside of assasinations

[naive flume]

What will you guys be playing October 10th? Forza on Xbox or ROBLOX on PS5?

[pallid island]

ROBLOX on my PC

Why i would want to play Roblox on a console with no games?

[stiff trout]

Very untrue. It's almost never lol

[flint ferry]

still down for me. im online but cant find match

[worldly trout]

i was just about to try and play ranked too ll

[naive flume]

Just hoping for PSVR2 support on it

now that REALLY has no games

[midnight karma]

Seems like it’s back up for me 👀🤞🏻

[remote fable]

Okay, that all I needed to know. Joined the server specifically to ask that

[midnight karma]

RIP nvm

[toxic spear]

Cross core helmets and coatings next season?

[twin leaf]

What's going on with halo infinite service right now?

[naive flume]

Someone tripped on the Ethernet cable

[twin leaf]

Oops

[stiff trout]

Yo, why the hell does the game automatically turn my search regeion to expanded? I do NOT want it expanded, that's so annoying lol

[limpid ferry]

Yo is anyone else experiencing issues with Halo Infinites dedicated servers right now?

[twin leaf]

Yeah I am

[limpid ferry]

Are the servers offline?

[remote fable]

Bungie sabotaged them because I quit Destiny to play Halo instead

[pallid island]

I forgot how smart elite AI was in Halo CE

Too much playing crappy edge made me a noob

Not like in Halo 2 where they stand still and barely move

[remote fable]

I always point to that whenever someone says all enemy ai is bad in games

[naive flume]

It's a skill issue

[stiff trout]

They don't wort like they used to

[naive flume]

It's wortin time

[stiff trout]

My favorite part of the halo tv show is when the arbiter said its worting time

[void magnet]

TO BE FAIR, I don't think anyone reaaaallly had super high hopes for the show

But I did enjoy hearing the og Halo sounds like with the phantom and the active camo (yes I acknowledge I love the Bungie Halo soundscape, I could talk about it for hours lmao)

[earnest umbra]

the season 5 reckoning trailer is # 7 on YouTube trending RN thats pretty cool

[civic walrus]

bungie’s energy sword sound is by far the superior version

[slim zealot]

Same, it wont switch it to local

[stiff trout]

It'll switch to local, but it doesn't like to stay that way lol

[earnest umbra]

even on expanded it still tries to find local first

[stiff trout]

Well with 5 people in south america who plays Halo, I need to stick on local to have a chance and HOPE they do the same lol

[void magnet]

For real, I love the sound in CE of the sword deactivating on the ground too, but the KTSHHH lighting-esque sound was great. Fun fact COD used the sound for their shock grenades recently

H4's sound is actually not bad, but we gotta get that OG sound mixed in somewhere 😭

[naive flume]

The arbiter is in the TV show?

[faint mantle]

@dire gate mira wn, amigos

[green reef]

Is firefight coming in halo Infinite as soon as s5 releases or later on in the season?

[pallid island]

Fr

[unborn galleon]

Real?

[pallid island]

Im playing a mod that only rebalances a bit of stuff? They have a bit less of an aimbot but still challenging

[unborn galleon]

Jackals being absolute gods in halo 2 😔

[green reef]

Snipers in specific

[unborn galleon]

It made sense though I guess

They are birds like hawks and eagles and they have insane eyesight and reaction time

[bronze yoke]

JACKALS IN THE COURTYARD

[unborn galleon]

Ohhh noooo

[hearty flame]

I wonder if Firefight can have a legit CoD Zombies ripoff now

[wary gull]

I wonder when (or if) the falcon will be added

[bleak flint]

Halo

[livid acorn]

Yo chat I need help deciding my next halo infinite project. Upgrade Yoyorast into Yoyorast v2 or start work on Hydrolysis?

[empty sable]

I hope they add the Halo 3 MK VI considered the Infinite MK VI is a ranked reward.

[dire gate]

xd

[novel shore]

Not a ranked reward but a career reward.
You just need to play a lot of whatever you want to play to achieve Hero rank

(I'm still only just a silver private. Need to play a lot more if I want my Master Chief cosplay)

[obsidian wyvern]

around 9k games

[next anchor]

9k games? How many points per game?

[obsidian wyvern]

around 2k

[next anchor]

How many games for 3k points?

That's what I usually get

[obsidian wyvern]

sorry the AVG with 2k was around 4500

3k is 3k

[next anchor]

Huh? How is 3k more?

oh nvm

[obsidian wyvern]

typo

[next anchor]

Damn that's still a grind

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah because you need around 9.2 million xp for hero

it's insane how people did this so quickly

[next anchor]

I'm almost gold cadet

I'm nowhere close

[obsidian wyvern]

long grind

[fickle drift]

I’m probably platinum sergeant now. Probably will take few seasons before I unlock mark VI…

[jade gust]

Yeah, I need to check where I am exactly but it’s gonna be a while before I reach max rank

[pulsar cobalt]

I do think 343 should do s
Small double XP weekends or something

Like 3 in a year one in Feb one in June and one now

[obsidian wyvern]

I would milk the hell out of that

could do it for the start of seasons and maybe for it's 2 year anniversary

[pulsar cobalt]

That's what I was thinking also

[fickle drift]

1-2 weekends per season and maybe some more during some events or holidays would be nice

[obsidian wyvern]

wonder if it'll be applied to every playlist if it did happen, saying that btb already has a 1.8x multiplier

[obsidian wyvern]

interesting background

[pulsar cobalt]

Looks nice

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm wondering if it's for Spartans that might have died during iratus' infection

I'm still holding out hope for cutscenes, those were a big deal for me

[pulsar cobalt]

i 100% think the cutscenes need to return

[fickle drift]

Season 3 cutscenes were really good, story seemed to finally go somewhere and then… cancellation. Hopefully they will return to idea of narrative events some day

[queen remnant]

I get why they did it but god it is so sad to be gone like that

[pulsar cobalt]

Agreed i was enjoying them so much

was so looking foward to season 4 ones

[harsh vector]

The story got cancelled?

[pulsar cobalt]

i don't think cancelled just on hold

[queen remnant]

The story was being published in waypoint

But cutscenes and all basically got cancelled to put those resources in other more needed stuff iirc

[pulsar cobalt]

I do think they should put a lore tab bit in infinite so people don't need to head to waypoint

something like destiny a timeline

[obsidian wyvern]

it's weird because they had basically completed the first season 4 cutscene but they never released it

[fickle drift]

Maybe this cutscene was teasing some future story that wouldn’t ever come to any conclusion anyways

[pulsar cobalt]

imagine for season 6 Mark VI GEN1, Mark IV and Elites, Invasion and Assault, 2 arena maps 1 btb map 3 invasion maps

[topaz heron]

it sure is

[obsidian wyvern]

well the last one didn't have any conclusion either so it didn't matter

[tired wraith]

I just like have my spartan in cutscenes

It’s so cool

[fickle drift]

Yeah, true

[fickle drift]

Imagine these new flood spartans in cutscenes lol

[pulsar cobalt]

343 ever considered doing a battlefront mode where you can play all the aliens, marines, spartans and that haha

like a massive btb battlefront type mode

[fickle drift]

It would be cool if done right

[pulsar cobalt]

I feel like a mode like that would be real good for halo

ODST rookie i bet your well hyped now you can use rak for ODST haha

all those ODST helmets

[topaz stratus]

Is bullet magnetism/aim assist different on console and on pc in infinite?

[sleek wigeon]

. . .

'coming soon in s5' so not on s5 release
'firefight King of the Hill' . . .

Seriously, how hard is it to just do something without putting a spin on it?

[pulsar cobalt]

it could be few weeks after season 5 or a month probably not far away

its most likely still having tuning and that done

and its good that way so people don't burn themselves out straight away

[sleek wigeon]

exactly what is good?

[fickle drift]

Yep, definitely gonna try ODST helmet on other cores

[sleek wigeon]

i agree i would rather firefight not release broken. That said, i don't think people 'burning out' has much- anything- to do with it

[fickle drift]

I won’t be playing that much within first two weeks of season 5 so I don’t mind it. Also better late and finished than rushed and with problems

[empty salmon]

EA sucks

[fickle drift]

Ok

[sleek wigeon]

naaaaaaah that sescond line used to be something i agree with, but after the way infinite released, i think 'release it earlier so we can figure out what's wrong with it faster' is better than 'let's shave another year off your life while you wait. hope you enjoy pvp.'

[empty salmon]

My EA-account has been hacked and the support doesnt give a damn bout it

[sleek wigeon]

go to an ea server.

[coarse island]

"release it earlier and subsequently worse" is one hell of a take

[sleek wigeon]

sure is.

because earlier and worse is better than later and still bad.

[fickle drift]

If it would be released earlier, it would be in a lot worse state than it was released in 2021…

[coarse island]

earlier and utterly terrible vs later and better

[fickle drift]

I don’t think that anyone here can help you since… it’s a halo server. Maybe you should try going to EA server if they have something like that

[empty salmon]

I know that. But that was warning about EAs support lol

[pulsar cobalt]

when you think about it once season 5 is released halo infinite has all the features that the older ones have now

[sleek wigeon]

i'm 'glad' they're finally working on firefight.

[fickle drift]

Oh ok

[sleek wigeon]

some will still be missing.

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah postgame lobbies and that

but the main stuff is in

[sleek wigeon]

but mentioning that is taboo.

[empty salmon]

Legendary Firefight when?

[tired wraith]

That would rock

[fickle drift]

Indeed

[pulsar cobalt]

i wonder if the flood stuff is in the BP

or store stuff

[fickle drift]

I hope so

[signal tundra]

Im excited for forge ai cuz people are gonna make some cool stuff

[pulsar cobalt]

People can create old campaign missions

[queen remnant]

The library 2

[pulsar cobalt]

the horrors haha

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe we can get an endless wave survival

I'd actually be interested in that

[signal tundra]

Actually? I would die for silent cartographer

[pulsar cobalt]

well yeah its campaign AI

i don't know how to use forge in infinite but i would love to make stuff

Just imagine if people can add in voice line scripts or whatever

[bronze breach]

Warzone finally

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[ivory coyote]

Something something 'we are so back'

Trailer looked promising

[pulsar cobalt]

Man S5 trailer was a banger

CE mark V and cross-core helmets 😄

[tired wraith]

Halos finally making somewhat of a turnaround

[pulsar cobalt]

its only gonna get better and better

[tired wraith]

I hope so

Let’s how they keep what ever they keep putting in their coffee going

Good stuff

[fickle drift]

This game just gets better and better with every season

Hopefully this trend will continue

[pure meteor]

Ai in forge is a huge step for Halo imo

[pulsar cobalt]

cross-core helmets is a huge step for infinite

every new helmet they make now can be for all cores

[obsidian wyvern]

didnt realise the rl had flood stuff too

the skin works really well w it

[pulsar cobalt]

i wonder if coatings for weapons are cross-weapon now also

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont think theres one for the hydra

didnt see anything for the bandit either

[earnest mortar]

Cross core for anything is a huge step for halo lol

Tbh i would be fine with just shoulders

[pulsar cobalt]

i do hope shoulders are next

343 need to do something about husky raid spawns you shouldn't be allowed to get spawn trapped like that

[earnest mortar]

Agreed

[topaz heron]

Will cc helmets be in launch

[pulsar cobalt]

ccc helmets ?

[topaz heron]

cross core

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah cross-core helmets are at launch

[topaz heron]

good

yay

[pulsar cobalt]

all husky raid is is camp and spawn trap

thought i was starting to like but its just this is all the time

add the dot back to the disrupter

[obsidian wyvern]

diamond cadet 1 needs 20k off the bat smh

[pulsar cobalt]

I do like husky raid just the spawn trapping really makes it not fun

[obsidian wyvern]

a bit early isn't it hawk

[fickle drift]

💀

That’s crazy

[obsidian wyvern]

that's 10 games at 2k, which is 2 hours of husky raid

3k is my avg so that's 7 games, which is just over an hour

[fickle drift]

Yeah, that’s a long grind

[pulsar cobalt]

Thing is mark vi kit is gonna make everyone to grind even more now

[vapid siren]

And?

[obsidian wyvern]

wyd there before worlds

[vapid siren]

Tourist stuff

See seattle

[fickle drift]

I will definitely be grinding more lol

[normal owl]

Safe travels and have a blast at Worlds!

[vapid siren]

You singlehandedly jinxed it

[normal owl]

*Have an ok time at Worlds!

[molten pelican]

dont have fun, just be mildy entertained

[wind wharf]

dont have a good day

have a great day!

[vapid siren]

Update: baby alarm

[vapid siren]

Pain

Duh

[left bone]

[muted rose]

Womp womp

[left bone]

womp womp

[normal owl]

If that baby acts up, just 1v1 to put them in their place.

[steady jolt]

Have fun, go to MoPop if you can and also go see the Gum Wall

[hasty zinc]

free gum? sounds like a deal

[normal owl]

Open Package, Like New condition?

[steady jolt]

Ivar's down at the pier does great food

And if you get to Redmond, there lots of great beer places

[obsidian wyvern]

Ive been given a robot and I need to give it a name quickly, help

[amber mirage]

Human

[steady jolt]

Botty McBotface

[left bone]

call it wall-e

[hasty zinc]

important question, what does the robot do

[obsidian wyvern]

I have to code it in java to do something as part of my course

it has wheels and eyes

[pulsar cobalt]

Bot revenant 💀

[tired wraith]

Wheel-e

[steady jolt]

https://youtu.be/D0x_O11HaAw?t=3

[obsidian wyvern]

might just call it rev

[molten pelican]

call it rolly eyes thats a fantastic name I think

[hasty zinc]

Chad

or give it a Halo name

[obsidian wyvern]

bad names smh

[hasty zinc]

Arboter

[molten pelican]

these are the times I wish I could embed gifs

[obsidian wyvern]

ok this might be good lol

[tired wraith]

Beepboop-threethousand

[obsidian wyvern]

I came here for halo names specific

[molten pelican]

u must be more clear

[molten pelican]

cortana

oh my

[tired wraith]

Puma

[hasty zinc]

is that the hazmat helmet? lol

[obsidian wyvern]

bruh lol

[tired wraith]

Rvb reference

[molten pelican]

rollie spark

[molten pelican]

the eyes remind me of somthing...

mendicant bias

[tired wraith]

Echo 216

Look at the under the lights it says echo

[molten pelican]

just add one more eye

[molten pelican]

that too😭

[tired wraith]

Hahahhh

[hasty zinc]

rev, name it SKARBINK

[molten pelican]

looks like someone described what bumblebee looked like and they just used the description

[obsidian wyvern]

genuinely stuck

it needs a name for me to sign the contract lol

[molten pelican]

just name it robot and move on

[hasty zinc]

my vote is for Skarbink (the hazmat helmet)

[molten pelican]

name it Spork

[steady jolt]

BlackBox

[obsidian wyvern]

I hate that helmet so no lol

[molten pelican]

personally for no reason at all, kinda sounds like a cool name

[amber mirage]

Roombot

[steady jolt]

No wait

Intrepid Eyes

[frosty moon]

Maybe S5 will bring in the Grizzly for a Scorpion Model.

[molten pelican]

advanced vacuum

[hearty flame]

This helmet always reminded me of Glitch from Metal Arms

[obsidian wyvern]

it just reminds me of the nerd face now because of the edits

[hasty zinc]

call it nerd face then

[pulsar cobalt]

Call it yokai and add horns

🤣

[frosty moon]

I feel like they were aiming at something close to the Fallout New Vegas cover helmet but didn't get close to it for reasons being too close in design.

[hearty flame]

The one dieselpunk helmet looks closer to that

[frosty moon]

Looking at that one, yeah it’s far closer to that then Fallout.

[left bone]

minion helmet!!!✨✨

[unborn galleon]

Bug eyed

[frosty moon]

Has there been talk about adding more attachments to helmets like Reach did? Would be cool to have 2 slots for that even 3 slots.

[left bone]

idk

i wwanted more attachments for the helmets soo

[frosty moon]

Would be great to have the scuba/cbrn with up armor attachments and a module. Would add a lot of unique looks to each helmet.

[left bone]

ttruee

[topaz heron]

minion indeed

[left bone]

and i dont wanna to hear any excuses why it wouldntt workk

the engine's not motivated

[frosty moon]

I feel like that the limit for helmet appearances for everyone.

[left bone]

give it some pep talk

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL I named it and went to hand in the sheet, the woman just started at me for a good 10 seconds and then asked what the name was. told her and she told me I had to write down the model number on the bottom 😩

[steady jolt]

What did you name it?

[pulsar cobalt]

Can someone knock me out for a week so when I wake up season 5 will be active 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

well it's name ended up being 00003 lol, but I just stuck with rev before she told me

[sour gate]

the knock out went wrong and now it's been 7 years

[frosty moon]

This was me after I saw the trailer. Lol

[hearty flame]

7 years 4 months and 10 days to be exact

[hasty zinc]

@vapid siren found you on flightradar

there are two USAF T-38C falcons near you

correction

there are actualy 10 of them near you lol

good grief

[pulsar cobalt]

Why do i get the feeling they gonna announce CE mark V core today in some waypoint blog haha

[hasty zinc]

alright it's up to 14 now, what the heck lol

oh I missed one in the pic

[amber mirage]

Hawkner's up to no good

[hasty zinc]

dude they are ALL over

I keep finding more

that is one giant training exercise

[steady jolt]

[hasty zinc]

I've never seen anything like this on flightradar before

[obsidian wyvern]

who do you track

[hasty zinc]

anything

I like aviation

sometimes I'll just go around the world and look for neat planes

flightradar shows THIRTY USAF T-38C falcons in the air right now

[vast venture]

What do you guys think about adding back the star in the kill feed after achieving a perfect kill?

[amber mirage]

I'm in favor

[candid solar]

I honestly don't know why they got rid of it.

I miss the revenge and comeback medals tbh

[pulsar cobalt]

Halo 5 headshot pop noise should come back

[hasty zinc]

this is wild

[molten pelican]

the ending of Halo 5: warrior world is possibly the best percussions in a halo song🤌

[candid solar]

Yee

[molten pelican]

hawkner gonna get buddy spiked or bro is wanted

[candid solar]

Eh, the T38C is a training aircraft.

[hasty zinc]

yeah

[rare cedar]

Pilots need to log flight hours eventually!

[molten pelican]

no hes just that important he got escorts

[hasty zinc]

still I've never seen that many out at once

[candid solar]

They have around 500 still in service in the USAF.

[hasty zinc]

dang

I wouldn't have seen them if Hawk didnt post his flight number in his picture

[hasty zinc]

I wish I could have become a pilot 😦

[gaunt saddle]

massive beef

[candid solar]

I failed the depth perception portion.

Sometimes I feel like I should've gone EOD, tbh.

[hasty zinc]

I lost the genetic lottery

[rare cedar]

Wait Hawk is a pilot?

[hasty zinc]

no he's on a flight to seattle for worlds

[smoky token]

he wishes

[rare cedar]

[smoky token]

I could become a pilot…

[warm fiber]

You have 1 bullet against an entire army!

[molten pelican]

flat feet?

[hasty zinc]

well first and foremost is my eyesight

[molten pelican]

he is flying one of those jets

[molten pelican]

skill issue

[hasty zinc]

stack colorblindness on top of that

red and green are like the 2 colors you NEED to see when flying lol

[molten pelican]

if you can fly a banshee you good to go

[amber mirage]

Gotta make sure to stop at the traffic lights

[molten pelican]

just use keyboard and mouse irl

[molten pelican]

imagining helicopter highways with random floating stop lights lol

[hasty zinc]

red orange green yellow, sounds like a nightmare to read an instrument panel

[rare cedar]

Dang, red and green are the colors of everyone’s name here. What color do you see?

[hasty zinc]

I don't know

[candid solar]

Muave

[rare cedar]

Bless you, Aegis

You see my purple?

[hasty zinc]

yeah I can see that

but sometimes purple is weird to me

I guess because I'm missing some of the red in it

[rare cedar]

Fair

[molten pelican]

purple isnt real anyways

[rare cedar]

Your name is green

[hasty zinc]

like admin color and LATAM looks exactly the same to me

[molten pelican]

this is probably new information for him lol

[hasty zinc]

nah someone mentioned it was green awhile back

so that's how I know

[smoky token]

have you watched Adventure Time

[amber mirage]

To be fair, they're almost indistinguishable regardless

[molten pelican]

they should change stop light colors for aegisfate

[rare cedar]

I get confused two for those two role colors

[hasty zinc]

also muted and oceania look identical

[rare cedar]

But Kenny is the only admin, so

[molten pelican]

nah they look the same

[fossil skiff]

what

[wanton ingot]

Does this sewer support lgbtq

[molten pelican]

I thought it said thirsty

[fossil skiff]

I’m sure they are once that low fuel level light comes on

[molten pelican]

I can handle this

[wanton ingot]

Why is every video game supporting lgbtq, its kinda sad

[smoky token]

better question

[fossil skiff]

[smoky token]

why aren’t you supporting lgbtq

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/w3Oc.gif

[wanton ingot]

Because i am homophobic and i find it disgusting, i have my own standards

[smoky token]

lmao alright

bye

[molten pelican]

dont they have fuel planes that can fuel big planes while flying

[fossil skiff]

Yes

[molten pelican]

I could never lol

terrifying

[fossil skiff]

It can be a bit difficult lining it up but hey, that’s what training is for

[hasty zinc]

I didn't find any refueling tankers in the area

[smoky token]

I think typically only small planes (like fighter jets and various types of bombers) get in-air fueling methods? I don’t think commercial jets ever do

Maybe C-130s and such do as well

[wanton ingot]

Is halo still alive, isnt it ded

[smoky token]

honestly no clue

[molten pelican]

I figured not commercial jets, that makes sense but thats neat

[rigid egret]

Neat

[smoky token]

why do you hate us?

[wanton ingot]

Bro why r u offended its just an emoji lmao

[molten pelican]

lol just go play it

[smoky token]

I just asked a simple question

[wanton ingot]

U alrdy know the answer

[molten pelican]

time for a snack

[obsidian wyvern]

second one just being an attack on your skill

[fossil skiff]

Even some helicopters can do it, but that can be a bit weird I imagine

[molten pelican]

that sounds so risky lmao

[smoky token]

Modern avionic systems are super advanced and can accurately keep a jet in a straight line at a constant speed, making in-air refueling extremely easy

[fossil skiff]

I do see the Blackhawks equipped with it down here pretty often though.

[molten pelican]

Im probably wayyyy underestimating what planes and pilots can do today

[smoky token]

Planes can practically fly themselves today

You remember that Cessna from June that got F-16s deployed to intercept it?

[hasty zinc]

take that F-35 for example

[smoky token]

didn’t that one get hit by bird strike

[molten pelican]

it got hit by me

it was an accident

[smoky token]

anyways, it literally turned itself around using in-air avionic systems and kept flying straight for a while based on computer navigation from the pilot (who iirc had a heart attack)

So many memes from that.

‘Lost F-35, offering cash as reward.
Responds to Frank’

Aegis i just remembered. Im gonna DM you a cool little detail I found out a bit ago

[hasty zinc]

aight

[molten pelican]

another reminder that Ghost Recon Wildlands is on sale for 10 bucks on steam, with the first person mod its a fantastic open world shooter

[onyx silo]

Season 5 release day prep:
Time off work
Coffee made
Snacks or snackths as I like to say
Water and a red bull
Uber eats lunch. (Anything but Tacobell on this day)
2 pee bottles (that coffee and red bull has to come out eventually)
Left over Uber Eats order
Call out sick next day from work.

[molten pelican]

I would do all of this just to play drive or die in custom browser

[candid solar]

True!

[hasty zinc]

yeah I always found the comeback medal hilarious

"wow yeah good job doing what you're supposed to do slow clap "

[rare cedar]

That’s a good plan for next Tuesday

[candid solar]

Really though? Urine bottles?

At least be classy and get a stadium helper.

Oh man, this DMR skin got me feeling a way.

[rare cedar]

I have some stories regarding those bottles while I was deployed, but I will keep them to myself

[candid solar]

Is it the gatorade swap story?

[bronze breach]

Bloody hell, need like 7,434 games to reach hero rank.

[twilit shoal]

I don't like the skin but I like the sights.

[obsidian wyvern]

hahaha the realisation just sank in huh

[molten pelican]

footed thank you for getting me interested in something that Il never know

[candid solar]

I... Actually kind of hate the sights, now that you made me look at them again.

It's like a weird super extended buckhorn sight that's so extended that you can use it for kilometer+ indirect fire lmao

[fierce mango]

Morning

[uncut echo]

🌄 mornin'!

[twilit shoal]

I just want to encourage more optics being added really. The Bandit looks naked without one.

[candid solar]

Well...

[twilit shoal]

Halo 5 had many flaws but having a lot of variety in optics gave us some cool looks.

Hell yeah it's better than nothing

[candid solar]

It's a tad scuffed, because that weapon kit doesn't like that scope attachment, but there's a reflex scope Bandit variant now, yeah.

[twilit shoal]

Nice

[candid solar]

I'm a tad bugged because I kind of wish we had the Halo 5 weapon models back still. Though the Akrieva or whatever BR model is basically the next best thing to me.

Like, I wouldn't mind the Pilum coming back as a rocket variant that has a tighter blast radius and far faster projectile. Kind of like the Direct Hit versus Stock Rocket Launcher in Team Fortress 2.

Or just a Halo 5 DMR with backup irons tacked onto it.

I don't need an ammo counter to count my shots, lmao.

[pure gate]

We're actually getting Flood content in Infinite,

[twilit shoal]

Halo 5 had some really good weapon models. I liked its BR a lot. But mostly I liked the variety of attachments, purely for aesthetic reasons.

I also feel like attachments would perfectly fit the half open world sandbox they made for the campaign.

[pure gate]

Indeed.

[fierce mango]

Isn't that just a weapon type cosmetic and not really a scope?

[prisma vigil]

that's what i'm thinking

[candid solar]

Isn't what?

[twilit shoal]

Probably

[pure gate]

I mean the issue is I'm not sure how ADS would have fit in Infinite

[candid solar]

I don't know what you're refering to.

[candid solar]

About the same as it did in 5. Which was smoothly, though probably a bit less smooth now that they made the HUD look less... HUD-y?

[twilit shoal]

Oh I don't want ADS. I think the current zoom mechanic is perfect. But the different optics we have in game now still have different properties. The Commando's zoom is different from the assault rifle, etc.

[candid solar]

People didn't appreciate that 5 actually went to some pretty good lengths to make the system it had work.

[obsidian wyvern]

looks like a skin straight out of apex

[twilit shoal]

Current zoom works great I just want more scopes to look cool. I am admittedly 95% driven by looking cool.

[pure gate]

Plus, Infinite's campaign is basically Halo CE remade anyway

[candid solar]

Like how you could see the projector sight, well, projecting.

[twilit shoal]

I wish Halo 5 was available on Steam

[obsidian wyvern]

this will probably be the new ranked weapon you start with

[twilit shoal]

Only one I don't own at this point

Only ever played it at a friend's

[fierce mango]

Ahh I see, well in that case I think 343 are cooking with good looks on weapons

[candid solar]

I feel like 5's going to end up being the Terminator Salvation of Halo games.

[twilit shoal]

That makes sense, the Bandit is fun as hell in tactical slayer

[pure gate]

I mean Genisys and Dark Fate sucked even worse

[fierce mango]

Bandit starts on ranked? Oh that would take true skill

[obsidian wyvern]

adding the scope allows for descoping when shot at, gonna make it more balanced

[twilit shoal]

Bandit with an optic being new ranked standard would make ranked play more interesting. There's a real rhythm to shooting it

[candid solar]

Salvation has developed a bit of a following because it was promising a different continuation on the franchise that didn't keep rehashing old concepts.

It also wasn't really a bad movie, and raised some perfectly valid plot points.

In fact, Salvation was originally supposed to be the first movie in a trilogy covering the machine war.

[obsidian wyvern]

I remember lucid saying a few weeks ago that they should add a new weapon to ranked starts to swap up the gameplay, this sounds like the way to go

[pure gate]

And can we get the Spartan Laser back?

[twilit shoal]

Descope is vital for any ranked stuff

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[pure gate]

We need another AA weapon

[candid solar]

AA Wraith when?

[obsidian wyvern]

with the regular bandit it'd be a bit too easy

[candid solar]

I'd love to see Battlefield-sized open maps in Infinite tbh

[twilit shoal]

Honestly I want the classic shotgun back...I know it'd be redundant but I miss it so much.

[candid solar]

You can make them in Forge, really. I've considered remaking the Amiens map in Forge.

[fickle drift]

Didn’t skewer kinda take it’s role in sandbox?

[candid solar]

Kind of but not really. It has similar functionality against Banshees and Wasps, but it's not nearly as strong against everything else, lacks a charge time, etc etc.

[fierce mango]

I can already imagine someone making pve custom games for the sake of farming battle pass XP

[candid solar]

Functionally it's kind of a go-between of the Sniper, Binary Rifle, and Splaser.

[fickle drift]

I’m curious how it would work in halo with bigger teams ngl

[obsidian wyvern]

charge time being replaced by a long reload time

[twilit shoal]

Skewer is a wonderful addition but the laser was special too. I like that the skewer has some weapon drop as well

[candid solar]

It does.

[fickle drift]

Oh ok

[twilit shoal]

Really hope they don't crack down on this. Feels inevitable though

[candid solar]

I mean, it's problably intentional.

Besides, you could technically do it in Reach.

[fierce mango]

They'll probably nerf the amount down like they did with bot boot camp

[wary dove]

Does the progression system reset every season?

[candid solar]

No, only your ranked ranks.

[hasty zinc]

no

[quiet dome]

how many players can play co op together in one mission?

[candid solar]

4

2 if it's Halo CE or Halo 2

[pulsar cobalt]

Looking at the flood stuff and you can see eyes in the helmet
