general-chat

[fickle drift]

Personally I don’t care to overcomplicate the whole MCU situation

[obsidian wyvern]

I may have watched it, I'd have to dbl check

I'm just thinking with what actually happened in the series, I don't think they have much to work with

[bronze breach]

Anyone seen the dragon ball gt 2.0? Gutted they not adapting the stories from the manga

[hasty zinc]

[fickle drift]

The only show I’d actually wish would’ve had a different end path isn’t even Marvel

The way Arrow went kinda was a well executed bummer

[bronze breach]

So was flash lol

[obsidian wyvern]

which is exactly what happend with secret invasion.. and it turned out to be horrible

[fickle drift]

I stopped watching Arrow when they started poaching Batman stories

Yk what’s actually an L

[bronze breach]

All the villains was nerfed in flash too for the final episode

Big letdown

[steady jolt]

The 12th letter of the alphabet ?

[hasty zinc]

I wish there was a new Synder Man of Steel movie with Henry

[obsidian wyvern]

(I found it boring)

[normal owl]

Synder-Man has so many good storylines.

[obsidian wyvern]

don't let Santana see

[fickle drift]

It’s a bummer that To appease the whole gender equality social issue they gave Batgirl a show nobody but a small niche group even wanted rather than giving us a Batman series

[bronze breach]

Well I wonder how Gears of War will work on the big screen.

[hasty zinc]

I loved it, it was a great introduction to Superman and it was awesome

music was great too

[fickle drift]

Man of Steel? ehhh

The whole 'no son don't save me from a hurricane' is a really bad change from the heart-attack imo

[normal owl]

only the real Fans of Steel know about Synder-Man.

[fickle drift]

I’m all for equal opportunity but nobody wanted to watch Batgirl, she’s a sidekick 💀

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah Snyder's got that too doesn't he

[candid solar]

I mean it's a series with a shocking amount of depth

[hasty zinc]

umm ackshually it was a tornado

[steady jolt]

Batgirl fans would want to watch it

[forest lagoon]

Kinda enjoyed them since we weren't getting those stories in other media outside of the comics

[bronze breach]

I think you might be referring to Dave Baista or whatever his surname is. He desperately wants to play as marcus in it

[obsidian wyvern]

I think the whole controversy was more so because they had done so much for that film and it was just dropped. why would you do that

[fickle drift]

But over batman? As a majority vote that would be Doubtful

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[fickle drift]

I guarantee it was just to have another female lead

[steady jolt]

So?

[fickle drift]

The point I’m making isn’t against female leads. It’s against giving us a B side over an A side

[candid solar]

I'd rather have an aliens show.

[steady jolt]

You could just ... ignore it if you don't like it

[obsidian wyvern]

gonna go into the new fnaf film expecting it to be bad and hopefully will then be pleased

[lyric robin]

Anyone know how much CE MKV will cost?

[toxic spear]

Ah man the mark 5 armor is just and armor kit that sucks I wanted to use the helmet

[bronze breach]

Well doctor who is next month and I'm sure the alien enemy is a fluffy bear

[normal owl]

like Rogue One, Guardians of the Galaxy, and so many more. Total bombs am i right

[hasty zinc]

gonna be honest, I really liked the Barbie movie

[fickle drift]

It’s almost like opinions exist 💀

[hasty zinc]

I was cracking up the whole time

[fickle drift]

Nah bc those were good

And they weren’t undermining main characters for side ones

[steady jolt]

There's been lots of Batman stuff released over the years. Putting a spotlight on some other characters can be a breath of fresh air and cool for fans of lesser characters

[normal owl]

Glad you got to see it! My favorite movie of the year.

[candid solar]

I think the point they made was more that Batgirl looked more like an attempt at pandering over trying to deliver a good product.

[steady jolt]

And I'm sharing mine. Great how this works

Please turn off the ping/ tag before replying. Thanks

[fickle drift]

I think characters, regardless of what they are, deserve stories that do more to justify themselves than the mere fact they exist.

[hasty zinc]

the whole "I'm Just Ken" song was like a whole production and I was enjoying the ride

[normal owl]

Well, "a good product" has proven to be a tough nut to crack for DCU sometimes lol.

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[candid solar]

Fair

[obsidian wyvern]

I think the only films I've liked from the DC was Nolan's trilogy and the new batman

[fickle drift]

I mean all I’m saying is a sequel to Gotham in which Bruce is actually Batman would’ve been 100x better than a series on Batgirl

And frankly Batgirl is pretty mediocre in execution anyways

[normal owl]

I really enjoyed that they let the film have enough slack to be ridiculous.

[hasty zinc]

you're medi... nvm

[forest lagoon]

They probably don't have the rights for that so they are working with what they do have

[obsidian wyvern]

medieval?

[hasty zinc]

sure

[forest lagoon]

Sounds fun!

[normal owl]

That's on Prime Video now! I'm excited. Been wanting to see that ever since the first trailer.

[obsidian wyvern]

is it actually lol

I need to watch gen v on prime, then invincible season 2 in novembern

[steady jolt]

I got the hoodie 👀

[hasty zinc]

my wife wants it lol

I'll probably get it for her as a surprise

[forest lagoon]

But is it kenough?

[normal owl]

In fact, it is!

[forest lagoon]

Or do you need more now

[hasty zinc]

she doesn't want to spend the money on it, but I'll get it for her

[steady jolt]

It is absolutely Kenough

[normal owl]

It looks luscious in person.

[obsidian wyvern]

the hair complements that so well wtf

[steady jolt]

Lol

[fickle drift]

Personally I don’t understand Barbie hype at all

[normal owl]

That's ok, millions of others are picking up the slack for you.

[forest lagoon]

Did you grow up playing with them?

[hasty zinc]

now we just need a Batgirl/Barbie crossover movie!

[fickle drift]

Nah, Legos are peak

[obsidian wyvern]

can't argue with that

[forest lagoon]

Because I did. They basically ended up all being crazy Barbies slaughtered by Darth vader

[normal owl]

hahahaha

[fickle drift]

W

[forest lagoon]

Good times... But my parents were a bit concerned when I involved ketchup...

[fickle drift]

If they made a Barbie movie that wasn’t just girly melodrama maybe I’d be able to justify watching it through

[obsidian wyvern]

didn't the Barbies turn evil in that small soldiers film

[normal owl]

wait but lightsabers cauterize. Unless Vader was using Force throw etc. too.

[fickle drift]

That movie was epic to watch as a kid

[hasty zinc]

they sure did!

[fickle drift]

God that was such a wild film lol

[hasty zinc]

Major Chip Hazard reporting for duty!!

[forest lagoon]

I was a kid, I didn't fully understand how physics of lightsabers worked with my dollhouse

[obsidian wyvern]

I should get my youngest brother to watch that film someday

[normal owl]

Oh dude speaking of shows and soldiers, I have not gotten sucked into a show this way in a long time: the Hulu show Special Forces: World's Toughest Test.

[hasty zinc]

is that test playing Ranked matches?

[normal owl]

Spoiler: it's math test.

[fickle drift]

The nerdiest thing I can admit to liking is Doctor Who

[hasty zinc]

who?

[obsidian wyvern]

swat*

[fickle drift]

The Doctor

Oh aye, all of Doctor Who coming to Iplayer was a cool announcement

Gonna go back and binge the classic series over Christmas

[obsidian wyvern]

is it bad that I've never watched doctor who as a British person

[fickle drift]

I mean it’s only interesting in some seasons tbh

[normal owl]

I've never watched Suits as an attorney, and people are incredulous every time. So don't feel obligated; just enjoy the "whaaa?"

[fickle drift]

I only enjoyed rewatching season 6-7

[obsidian wyvern]

I thought every new season was a reboot lol

[hasty zinc]

wait so did I lmao

I thought it was like a legend of zelda situation

[forest lagoon]

Dude! I remember building cool houses on my Lego table, and because mini figs are so small in comparison to action figures and especially Barbies, I'd have them be giants that would accidentally destroy the towns because they tripped while playing in their town over. Lego was awesome!

[fickle drift]

I think you were too young to have been around for the Tennant hype era tbf Rev

[fickle drift]

Suits is good but it’s boring in a lot of places tbh

[hasty zinc]

like the armpit

so boring

need to jazz it up

[normal owl]

Dang it Aegis

[fickle drift]

Ngl I wish I would’ve used superglue on my old legosets as a kid, I had so many cool ones 💀

[hasty zinc]

you were gone for awhile

someone need to fill the void

[forest lagoon]

I would think watching suits as an attorney would be hard to suspend your disbelief and get into it

[normal owl]

better than I ever could

[hasty zinc]

just wear suspenders while wearing the suit. EZ

[normal owl]

That's what I think too for real. Watching lawyer shows makes me that nerd that always goes "what they can't do that!"

[forest lagoon]

So what you're saying is... You're lord business

[normal owl]

NICE

[obsidian wyvern]

probably

[hasty zinc]

I remember building a lego airplane carwash for an elementary school project once

[fickle drift]

I think Suits over exaggerates how much Lawyers make to an extent ngl

[fickle drift]

Yes, yes I am

Dang I wish I could relive seeing the Lego Movie when it came out in 3d as a kid again 💀

[normal owl]

I have so much respect for David Tennant for his run on Doctor Who. He acted his heart out far beyond what was likely required of him. Elevated the show a ton.

[fickle drift]

I liked Matt Smith better

[hasty zinc]

there are a lot of movies I wish I could see in theaters as a kid again, Toy Story being one of them

[forest lagoon]

I'll be honest, I built my first actual Lego set a year or two ago with the instructions. Boba Fett's ship. I'm not gonna disassemble it, that was work

[steady jolt]

He was born about 20 miles from where I grew up.

[normal owl]

Nice! How many pieces is it?

[fickle drift]

I had the coolest version of that ship when I was a kid ngl

[normal owl]

You grew up in the penumbra of a beautiful man.

oh woops ping

[forest lagoon]

But if I had a bucket of Legos with a mix of parts, for me, that's where the fun begins

[normal owl]

Was blinded by Tennant

[fickle drift]

One time I bought a lego ti fighter and built them stoned af

[steady jolt]

He is so ridiculously handsome it's actually unfair

[fickle drift]

It was fire

[hasty zinc]

thank you

[steady jolt]

Lmao

[normal owl]

and so humble and pleasant.

[fickle drift]

The new outfit he has for the specials is class

Love the blue coat

[steady jolt]

Makes me want to re-watch Good Omens again

[forest lagoon]

I don't remember

[fickle drift]

Why did I think you were trying to say is for the special Ed class

[steady jolt]

Season 3 plleeeeeeaaaassseeeee

[fickle drift]

Dyslexic as hell

[hasty zinc]

how do you feel about the red ones? that was a terrible joke, please do not respond

[normal owl]

Even though it was work, was it kind of therapeutic to put it together?

[forest lagoon]

Dude I was so hyped to actually put it together

It was a gift, da hub took me to a hobby shop and said "pick one".
As I was building it I said "look! I'm actually following instructions for once!"

[twilit vector]

I wonder how things would go if the flood on zeta halo escaped

Like most people forget that zeta halo has one of the few darkest backstorys

[fickle drift]

They'd rampage for a bit, maybe form a Proto-Gravemind if they were feeling cute, then get wiped out / contained again by whoever we were playing as.

Same thing that always happens when the Flood escapes.

[alpine mantle]

who enjoy halo 3 odst music thunder and rain piano

[twilit vector]

I would like to see the flood actually becomes a threat again enough to get the banished to be scared

[twilit vector]

One of my favorites

[obsidian wyvern]

i always end up breaking my sets

the only one i havent dissasembled yet is my luke skywalker helmet because my friends got that as a gift

[forest lagoon]

Oh that's cool!

[fickle drift]

now that is epic

[carmine fractal]

So calm yet such a feeling of loss and a hopeless fight all fits so well same goes with reach.

[left bone]

mwhahaha

[elfin glacier]

hi jelly

[sour gate]

we saw that in hw2 dlc but more contained

cutscenes were flawless

[hasty zinc]

I hope to never see them become an actual big threat again

[lapis snow]

wait, is CE mark V kit gonna be a free thing or do I have to sell my inner organs for it ?

[hasty zinc]

it's a shop item

[lapis snow]

💀

ok

[lapis snow]

let me guess, it will be also a limited-time item just as the rest of the shop

[hasty zinc]

you just answered your own question

[lapis snow]

wait, you have both pings are okay and no pings roles, how do I even reply to ur messages?

[hasty zinc]

the choice is yours!

[lapis snow]

ok

[sour gate]

I doubt they will. the post forerunner flood had thousands of years to prepare, got lucky with finding high charity, and had the advantage of both major factions not knowing much of it

[carmine fractal]

The fate of the worlds rests on your decision

[sour gate]

even then the gravemind fumbled and lost

what's left is small pockets of flood infection and with any strike most governments (alien or human) would recognize the attack

[carmine fractal]

When a tsunami happens in halo the flood will return in a way

[sour gate]

haha true

[carmine fractal]

A very different flood but people have been asking for the return of the flood

[sour gate]

I doubt the unsc or oni would allow for a spartan to be infected and to just "leave them" without turning the planet into char

[carmine fractal]

Infected spartan pets

[fair plover]

I think they actually have some pretty dark protocols in place for that kind of scenario

[sour gate]

i think nukes or orbital mac are standard

[fair plover]

Like city nuking kind of dark, “whatever means necessary”

Yeah that’s crazy but I mean thorough to be fair

[sour gate]

having a flood infected spartan would cause more trouble. Lore wise spartan armor is extremely resilant to just about everything

[restive plover]

If you shot a mac round at a city, how far would it penetrate?
Is it possible to make MAC proof bunkers?

[carmine fractal]

Activate the rings

Clense the infection

[sour gate]

you'd be better off just making a ship to fly away and avoid it

or ig you could dig near the core of a planet

[fair plover]

How good is a standard Mac against a UNSC frigate?

Let’s say Paris Class

A station like those in Halo 2 I know would obliterate it

[sour gate]

those cannons were able to break open a capital class covvie ship

I doubt anything can withstand a direct hit

maybe the infinity could but not without taking a heavy hit

[carmine fractal]

Master cheif will somehow survive

Lore reasons lol (joke)

[brave helm]

just noticed that dares thighs aren't even textured lmao

the outer thigh specifically

[ionic tide]

Is it wrong to think i am more fond of the Mark V armor than the later versions

[fair plover]

Not at all

I mean it’s all just preference anyway right?

[ionic tide]

True true

[fair plover]

I really like Hazop and CQB

Get a lot of smack for that lol

But we game

[ionic tide]

Tbh the mark V master chief model in gmod looks no different to how he looked lighting-wise in the actual game and im happy abt that

If I have any energy, I may try to make an animation with him
I already made a poster with him and made it my pfp

[tired timber]

me waiting for operator helmet to come out

[ionic tide]

Guys, I’m gonna theorize

I am honestly surprised that a different model was used for the Mark IV and not just the Macworld 1999 armour

That would atleast give the prototype chief model some purpose

[fickle drift]

Haven’t orion armor(macworld) been an armor for first generation of spartans in lore?

[fickle drift]

Mark V is by far my favorite armor Chief wears

[ionic tide]

Ikrrr its like

Literally the OG
The mechanics of it in Halo CE are alot more bareable too

Having some health after your shield is broken

Halo 2 legendary after I played Halo CE legendary threw me so off

[fickle drift]

CE is the only game I’ve beaten on Legendary

[ionic tide]

You barely have any health after your shield is done, or it may seem like it-

[fickle drift]

Honestly my main issue with Halo 2 is the placement of the shields and health on your hud

I’m curious how much mark V will cost tbh
Might buy it if it won’t be too expensive

[ionic tide]

Ive beaten it with 3 skulls
No radar, no aim assist(best choice tbh), and faster firing rate of enemies

[ionic tide]

I rlly want it for halloween

[fickle drift]

I’m definitely buying it regardless of the price

[fickle drift]

It will be in shop on November 7th so kinda late for that

[fickle drift]

343 can take my entire wallet

[ionic tide]

WAIT WHAT WHERE

HUH??? WHAT AM I MISSING WHAA

[fickle drift]

Ok

[fickle drift]

It will be added to halo infinite next season and will be in the shop on November 7th

[ionic tide]

oh wait this aint an irl thing is it

[fickle drift]

When did they say it was coming on November 7th?

[fickle drift]

Newest customization waypoint blog post

oh alr

[fickle drift]

No, it’s a skin in halo infinite

[ionic tide]

[sonic plover]

I'm angry.

[ionic tide]

Dawg…

[fickle drift]

Why?

[ionic tide]

Whats wrong man

[sonic plover]

My Br ran away

☹️

[ionic tide]

Br?

[sonic plover]

Yea

[fickle drift]

Battle rifle?

[sonic plover]

Yes

[fickle drift]

It… ran away?

[ionic tide]

What.

[sonic plover]

I was walking it and it ran off.

[fickle drift]

… what

[ionic tide]

Get a leash for your guns dawg smh

[sonic plover]

Ik that now

[fickle drift]

Grappling Hook is also a good option lol

[sonic plover]

I left that in the husky raid

[fickle drift]

That sucks

[tight remnant]

i play a lot of husky raid

[fickle drift]

Same

[left bone]

not me

i play btb because i like losing myself in a situation where im being bombarded by 10 grenades, 4 rockets, and one banshee

[fair plover]

Question, so is the BR75 being replaced by the EVO in ranked?

I really like the BR I’m not going to trash this change right away but it would be a shame to lose this starting weapon

[hexed geyser]

is the og ver of ce delisted on the 360 store

[cedar turret]

the 2001 game was on there?

[hexed geyser]

yes

well it used to be

[cedar turret]

from what I can see the og xbox halos are not, so no ce. The 360 games are download only so if you previously owned cea digitally you can download that. Otherise you'll need to buy it via mcc.

except reach...reach is 8 dollars? /shrug

[fair plover]

If anyone needs a physical copy I have multiples of each too

Was gonna sell them but I would rather just give them away if it means someone gets to experience them

[hexed geyser]

what game tho?

yeah

[fair plover]

Halos 1-infinite

[cedar turret]

take that to dms.

[hexed geyser]

which ver of halo 1 is it

ok

[fair plover]

Why are the original games not playable on the newer consoles?

[cedar turret]

They are playable. They just don't appear to be for digital sale aside from reach for some reason.

and mcc does exist

[strange sky]

just had a ranked game where my whole team had 100 ping lmao

[steady jolt]

The Backwards Compatibility team at Xbox were the ones working on making older games work with newer consoles, but it was a pre-game situation and not all titles were able to be brought forward. Technical challenges, etc. I imagine with MCC existing that it wasn't as high a priority as some of the other games - or it could have also been purely technical

[fair plover]

It does but there are certain audio cues and other various features from the OG CE that never carried over when it was ported to anniversary, MCC etc. it’s still an amazing experience on MCC but it’s not 100% the same.

[steady jolt]

BC team are working on different projects now

[cedar turret]

the library alone means the cea version is superior.

[fair plover]

Okay I will agree with that

Absolute nightmare.

[charred mauve]

So the mark V wont be a core but a kit and only in the store….fun

[round laurel]

I mean, you gotta keep the revenue rolling in somehow.

[civic walrus]

apparently you can kind of edit the mark VI kit so maybe you could do that with the mark V too

[fair plover]

On the bright side, it does exist in Halo now

[grizzled acorn]

Excited it exists, not excited with how it's obtained. We still need something more enticing for completing Infinite on Legendary. But maybe I'm just getting old lol

[tight remnant]

to be a core thered have to be a lot more customization offerings

[round laurel]

What do you think would be a suitable reward for beating the campaign on legendary?

[fair plover]

What is the reward? I just started my legendary playthrough again after giving up several times lol

[hazy bone]

Less then a day now, so hyped

[round laurel]

A sense of pride and accomplishment.

[fair plover]

Fair enough

[round laurel]

You get two stances for 100% completion though.

[fair plover]

Noice I like adding little stuff like that to the collection

Makes me feel like I have done something worth.. doing

[grizzled acorn]

Those are still not unlocked for me for some reason?

[cedar turret]

Did you pick up all the happy meal toys?

marine squads, spartan point eggs, mini bosses, loot sarcophogi, bases, skulls, etc

Also t-bag the sandwich

[alpine mantle]

another orion sets on exchange ive aready owned at least reamber 1999 halo ce beta

[fair plover]

What happens when you do that?

Actually I think I’ll find out this evening lol

[cedar turret]

You get asked to turn off the ping

[floral cobalt]

Why has it apparently been updated to let people you the grapple hook while carrying the flag?

That is the stupidest thing ever

Literally in my Husky raid match I just had a guy on the enemy team launch himself across the map 2 times with the flag

Why would they change that?

[sour gate]

it's limited to husky raid. you can use abilities with the flag

makes it easier to score given it's a straight line with almost no cover

[void granite]

That's a mighty fiiiiine update post

Everything i wanted left, in one handy update

[earnest umbra]

what time is the update

[calm fiber]

Season 5: Reckoning launches on <t:1697565600:F> which is <t:1697565600:R>
https://discord.com/invite/6VJsKgdV?event=1161382423368564837

[earnest umbra]

nice

[pulsar cobalt]

Can't wait today sad news about mark V not being a core though

[bright shoal]

I'm more upset that the tier 50 reward is a kit. Like, I can understand Mk V and Mk VI being kits because they have unique body types, but that Flood armor set is literally just a suit of armor that was made into a kit for no real reason.

Feels like they just took an armor set and locked it into a kit for absolutely no reason.

[ancient grotto]

yippe

[oblique sigil]

can someone link the ranked changes coming with s5 tomorrow?

are they actually replacing the BR with the bandit evo

as the starter

[steady jolt]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/ranked-update-season-5-2

[earnest umbra]

wish they made changes to ranked itself

[bold sparrow]

What would they even change?

[earnest umbra]

i remember them saying they changed it to ranked matching you based on CSR but it feels like its been reverted

for a period of time there were quality matches then it became the same again with high ranks queueing with low ranks to get easy games

[safe mulch]

More rewards, more ranked modes

[oblique sigil]

so they're changing the starting weapon, getting rid of the only BR ranked playlist, instead of just making a separate HCS playlist?

or are they bringing in a new playlist

if it's not a new playlist that's an oof, just ship us BR heads back to MCC 😂 i'm not about to use a bandit even with a round reticle and scope

[cinder gulch]

Bro that's me in BTB idk why 😭

EXACTLY same happened here lol
It only lasted one day then it was gone 😢

[fickle drift]

I suck at btb

I do horribly every time I play it

[cinder gulch]

Yeah same here

Idk it's like the range or something? I'm just terrible at micro-adjustments on controller

[sick jay]

Hey

[alpine mantle]

tomorrow seasion 5 good luck and still wait for firefight

[cinder gulch]

Wsp?

[sick jay]

How’s everyone doing

[cinder gulch]

Yup! Firefight KOTH looks really fun, even if it's not the original firefight

[sick jay]

I’m new lol

[cinder gulch]

Doing good, thanks! Wbu?
Are you new to Halo or to the server?

[calm fiber]

Season 5: Reckoning launches on <t:1697565600:F> which is <t:1697565600:R>
https://discord.com/invite/6VJsKgdV?event=1161382423368564837

[cinder gulch]

Hyped for tomorrow, can't wait to play 👍

[fickle drift]

I’m gonna buy the battlepass as soon as the season launches

That Flood armor is sick

[cinder gulch]

Yeah honestly this new battlepass might take away my record of being free to play

[fickle drift]

The only things I’ve bought in Infinite are the season 1 battlepass and the cat ears for Mark VII

[cinder gulch]

Ahh

Honestly my current armor's kinda plain

[fickle drift]

I can’t go three days without changing my armor

I don’t like using the same thing all the time

[sour gate]

dropping alot of eddies into it once it comes out

who needs sleep anyway I've got a season to enjoy

[fickle drift]

I’m so hyped for Forge AI

I already know someone’s gonna do some crazy stuff with that

[cinder gulch]

Halo fans are eating good recently

[fickle drift]

It’s about time

[cinder gulch]

Definitely, even if I'm no Forger I can't wait to see what others do with it

[fickle drift]

I’ve tried to do Forge stuff but it’s way too complicated for me

[cinder gulch]

Same here

[sour gate]

the most complex I got with forge was putting the maximum amount of vehicles on one of those massive blue grides and destroying them all in one go

in 360 reach

[cinder gulch]

I only copied an airstrike tutorial in Forge bc I thought it looked cool, though it wasn't mine 😭

[cinder gulch]

Titanfall 2 fans got nothing on us now, they're not gonna change our minds

[fickle drift]

I’m willing to bet that within a month someone’s gonna recreate the Silent Cartographer

[cinder gulch]

Maybe even less than that

[fickle drift]

Dude imagine storming the beach from Silent Cartographer in Halo Infinite with the Mark V armor

This season is gonna be crazy

[civic walrus]

is CE’s warthog fling glitch still around?

[fickle drift]

In the modern games or in MCC?

[civic walrus]

in infinite

[fickle drift]

Idk for sure but if it was an issue 20 years ago I’d assume they fixed it by now

[civic walrus]

darn

[molten pelican]

oh I actually won a giveaway lol

now Im obliged to play halo infinite again

[fickle drift]

Infinite has gotten way better recently

[molten pelican]

yeah its great just more of an MCC guy

dip my toe in it again when s5 comes

[fickle drift]

I get that

[livid nova]

I'm excited for firefight

Will we get rank progression with it?

[oblique sigil]

wym rank progression?

we already have xp ranks if that's what you mean

i'm sure firefight will grant xp toward your career rank

[livid nova]

Thats what I meant

[oblique sigil]

it's a playlist, so it'll most likely grant xp like everything else, and just be performance based

maybe slightly toned down since xp per kill in firefight wouldn't really scale realistically 😂 compared to xp per kill on other players

you'd blast through the xp ranks way too fast

[bright shoal]

Bro, I physically cannot comprehend how people are good at Halo.

Across two decades, I've easily put over 10,000 hours in CE, 2, 3, Reach, 4, and 5, and still go negative 90% of the time.

Combat Evolved was literally my first video game.

[oblique sigil]

i've been playing halo since CE and still have yet to break a consistent 1.5 KDR 😂 don't feel too bad. most people unless they specifically grind like the pros do and actually practice habits and all that just retain what ever their natural ability was on day 1

[molten pelican]

skill issue

[oblique sigil]

more or less, i mean you're gonna improve some from day 1 to like day 30 for example, but your plateau is still your plateau whether you play 30 days or 3000 if you're not TRYING to improve like that

[fickle drift]

Some people just are at good at shooters 🤷‍♂️

[oblique sigil]

^ natural ability

[fickle drift]

Idk man Halo is pretty mild

[oblique sigil]

their plateau is just higher than yours naturally

[molten pelican]

like I dont play infinite but Im natural gifted at online putt putt

got that goin

[bright shoal]

Just gonna blame the autism.

[fickle drift]

From my experience it’s about adaptability in match

If you’re doing something that ain’t working over and over you’re not going to see a change

[oblique sigil]

nah i have autistic friends who can slap my butt and call me son 😂 but i'll blame the autism for me not being able to quit halo after all these years. i'm still here cause the autism hates change

[fickle drift]

Or it’s just a hyperfixation

[oblique sigil]

for 20+ years?

[bright shoal]

I have memorized most weapon spawns in most of the games, and could probably draw you a map of most Halo maps.

[oblique sigil]

nah that's autism 😂

[fickle drift]

Yeah hyperfixations aren’t just phases bro

[bright shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

bruh

[fickle drift]

Innit

[oblique sigil]

hyperfixations don't last that long for me. might get like a good 3 weeks hyperfixating on something then it's just dead to me

[bright shoal]

I usually play BTB because I'm decent at it.

[oblique sigil]

back to halo

[bright shoal]

Whenever I try 4v4, in any halo game, I tend to go something like 2 - 12.

[fickle drift]

Sounds like Halo is an actual hyper fixation if yours

And the others are phase based interests

Hyperfixations aren’t short lived. But people with autism can have short lived episodes of high interest

Just a tad different

[oblique sigil]

halo is like a comfort food, it's the chicken nuggets of video games

[bright shoal]

Dawg, I have put over 1000 hours in each Halo game, barring 5.

[oblique sigil]

it's just always there to go to if nothing else interests me

[fickle drift]

I mean I usually just revisit random games

Like Subnautica

[bright shoal]

Hot take: I've always hated the sniper rifle.

[fickle drift]

Skill issue af

The Sniper and Magnum are the peak guns

[bright shoal]

Whether or not you survive against someone with a sniper is based purely on their skill. The only way you can survive is if you get lucky or if they're bad.

[fickle drift]

Besides the og AR

[fickle drift]

Just be better than they are and you win 🤷‍♂️

[bright shoal]

It's the same reason why I've always disliked the splaser.

[cinder gulch]

Yeah, the more skill-based guns are very rewarding if used correctly

[oblique sigil]

sniper > br > all

[bright shoal]

The problem is that there is virtually no way to counter it if you're on the receiving end.

Whereas the rocket launcher and skewer are slow enough to be dodged.

[fickle drift]

Br is the gun for people who wanna be a sniper but can’t hit shots

[oblique sigil]

yeah, me

[cinder gulch]

Honestly I think my favorite is probably the MA40 AR, Bandit, and Sidekick (don't blame me)
I'm just most used to playing these guns

[fickle drift]

I just need to get a Xbox again atm

[cinder gulch]

If we're talking Super Fiesta I'm usually one who looks out for the Pinpoint Needler or Convergence Bulldog

[bright shoal]

Fiesta. 😡

[fickle drift]

But like ima be playing R6 more than anything probably especially after they gave the R4C the 1.5x and a 2x optic

[oblique sigil]

i forgot player collision was a thing and just scared the crap out of myself on h2 😂

[cinder gulch]

The gamemode with unfair spawn loadouts 😭

[bright shoal]

Side note: HOW are people good with the sniper?

I've used every single sniper in Halo and have never been good with any of them.

[oblique sigil]

you just point and click @bright shoal

it's literally a 1-2 shot kill wym how are they good 😂 it's easy mode

[cinder gulch]

Honestly, 343 should buff Rebound Ravager and the (normal) Mangler
Rebound Ravager just sucks in general, it's too unpredictable, Mangler should have that 1 shot 1 melee kill

[bright shoal]

It's always been my worst weapon.

[cinder gulch]

I'm just terrible at aim, I can never get the micro-adjustments right

[bright shoal]

I'm better with the shock rifle than the sniper. Lol.

[wild sleet]

I just toned the Sensitivity down with the Zoom sensitivity speed for the Snipers scope, but unfortunately I miss half my shots I take

[cinder gulch]

Shock Rifle is my worst weapon honestly, I've never been able to use that thing properly

[bright shoal]

I don't get how people like Ubernick and Mint Blitz can casually hit quad headshots with snipers.

[oblique sigil]

you might just be bad at tracking or reticle placement (not trying to be mean) but majority of the time my reticle is placed and people just walk into it. when i miss it's cause i moved it. even if i'm moving i'm like not touching right stick

[livid nova]

Sniping is easier on pc isn't it?

[oblique sigil]

when i'm on mnk i control the reticle more than on controller. it's harder on mnk

[sand nest]

Most Of The Maps Are Not Balanced For All Game Modes. Mostly The Small Maps For Tactical Slayer

[bright shoal]

You'd think.

I was good at sniping in Battlefield, all things considered.

[oblique sigil]

only the battle rifle is easy on mnk to be honest @livid nova

BR feels like it's got extra magnetism or aim assist on mnk

[bright shoal]

MnK was horrible before we got red reticle.

[oblique sigil]

compared to any other gun on mnk

[sand nest]

SideKicks Too

[cedar turret]

If you want to shoot tomatoes, it's easier if you get tomatoes that want to be shot.

[molten pelican]

Dozen are you at worlds as well?

[livid nova]

I actually find the BR pretty easy to use and I use controller

[cedar turret]

you could even tell the tomatoes where to go and what to do and have them repeat the same action till you manage to shoot them all in a cool way.

[oblique sigil]

everything is easy to use on controller, left stick aim. aim assist basically aims for you, make micro adjustments 😂 if you're a right stick aimer you're gonna miss more shots than you hit

[cinder gulch]

What would you recommend I try? (No offense taken btw, dw)

[bright shoal]

Honestly. Having used both, I can safely say that controller aim assist is bonkers.

[sand nest]

Hope We Get Forge Tools For AI Turrets

[oblique sigil]

literally use the academy function @cinder gulch or look up custom maps/modes meant for aim training or warming up

[cinder gulch]

👍 Thanks

Honestly yeah I should use Academy more

[oblique sigil]

once you get used to where you need to keep your reticle to be at head level most of the time, you just need to play vs bots that crouch and strafe to get the hang of small flicks to hit targets that are ducking or jumping

reticle placement is king on controller

[cinder gulch]

Would you stay still or move around when you snipe?

[livid nova]

I prefer to stay still

[oblique sigil]

to get used to left stick aiming yet, once you get the hang of letting aim assist grab a target it's like second nature to you

[sand nest]

Remove The Macro For Zoom Then Grind It Out Till You Get The Feel Of It

[oblique sigil]

to lay off right stick and apply slight input to left stick to engage aim assist

and if you're crouch strafing at a distance, stop it. it does nothing but mess your own shot up, crouch strafing only helps break the enemy's aim assist at close-mid range. you're just throwing the fight if you do it at long range

[cinder gulch]

👍

Aight, should I play high or low sensitivity?

[oblique sigil]

low or mid sens but get the deadzones as low as you can without your reticle drifting on its own. max input is up to you, i find cranking it all the way to 15 works best for me with like 1.0 or 1.5 deadzones

just start copying pro player settings and try out different players settings till one feels kinda good, and then use that as your starting point

[bright shoal]

Woo. Two hours and I finally won a game.

[oblique sigil]

i know frosty plays low-mid, bound plays high sens

[bright shoal]

🥹

It took me two hours to go positive in a 4v4 match.

[broken mantle]

Does S5 come out at 10 AM tomorrow again

[oblique sigil]

yeah 10am

[broken mantle]

Darn it I was hoping to get it downloaded before I go to work

[elfin glacier]

no 11am

[broken mantle]

Central?

[elfin glacier]

343land time

[misty trout]

yo yo yo mista white

[fickle drift]

Just turn on auto update

[broken mantle]

I feel stupid now

[bright shoal]

I am legitimately distressed.

I have practiced and practiced and practiced and practiced for hours and days and weeks and months and years, and still hit 5 - 14 in the vast majority of my matches.

In the past three hours, I have had one 4v4 game with a positive K/D, which was also the only game I've won.

[broken mantle]

I never have a positive K/D but I get in the teens for kills

So I die more

[fickle drift]

Why not change how you’re practicing?

[bright shoal]

Legitimately, I cannot comprehend how to further improve.

[fickle drift]

Or try another game? Can’t be fun to perform poorly

[bright shoal]

20 years.

[broken mantle]

Are you PC or xbox?

[bright shoal]

Halo is the only PvP game I enjoy.

[bright shoal]

PC.

[fickle drift]

Sometimes you’ve gotta just accept where your skill lies in a game

[bright shoal]

I have 1000 hours in Infinite alone.

[fickle drift]

And you went 5-14?

[bright shoal]

Mhm.

[fickle drift]

Rip

[bright shoal]

Completed every battle pass. Currently a platnum sergeant.

[forest lagoon]

Ever recorded a match to play back and see what you're doing from a different perspective? Or asked someone else to look over your gameplay?

[bright shoal]

Multiple times with multiple people.

[forest sentinel]

have the ua/t-55 shoulder armors for the mk.vii armor set already come out and is it free to get?

[fickle drift]

Honestly aim is key in Halo, hitting Headshots is vital if you’re in a gunfight

Maybe you’re just getting body shots against people aiming for the head 24/7

[vapid siren]

Positioning > aim

[bright shoal]

I partially blame desync. Meleeing someone four times and doing no damage isn't the most fair, nor is landing three headshots with a sidekick and doing no damage.

Still, though.

[vapid siren]

Why get into a fight when you can gang up on a guy with the team

[fickle drift]

Idk man Melee works fine for me

[forest lagoon]

Not just aim but specifically track aiming. I'm much better at flick aiming but to break those shields you gotta track

[bright shoal]

You'd think, but my team just got exterminated a game or two ago.

[vapid siren]

Bandit about to crazy reward flicks

[forest lagoon]

[vapid siren]

Tfw i went 30-15 in a free play on controller

[bright shoal]

My autism can't be hampering me that much, can it?

[vapid siren]

Imagine me properly in my element

[fickle drift]

It can’t be just that

Maybe your playstyle is just not self preservative enough

[vapid siren]

Well lets see were workin with: throw down the GT

[forest lagoon]

Try to prioritize your life over fights and try not to 1v1 if you can. Wait for a buddy.
Don't Golden Retriever fights. That's one I still work on. My brain is like BALL!!! MUST FETCH!!! CHASE KILL!!!!!! And the following death I know is 100% my fault

[bright shoal]

I'd rather not. I'm already distressed enough as is.

[vapid siren]

I just skate fast eat ass

[bright shoal]

Plus it's 11pm. I need to be in bed soon.

I'm just gonna go back to BTB.

There, I usually top the leaderboard.

[vapid siren]

That doesnt tell us much

[bright shoal]

Shrug.

I like how much larger the maps are in BTB.

In 4v4 modes, the maps feel suffocatingly small.

No room to breathe.

It was okay in 2 and 3 because people weren't grappling everywhere and sliding around every corner.

Infinite's maps and high-speed movement make defensive play feel punishing, like being aggressive is a base-level requirement.

[solemn scroll]

Me when I'm having a breakdown at work

[bright shoal]

Same.

It doesn't help that I get stressed super easily, and all of the unnecessary voice chatter overstimulates me like crazy.

Hearing an announcer, Spartan chatter, and your AI buddy makes concentrating an utter nightmare for me.

[fickle drift]

1v1s are fun af though

[forest lagoon]

[fiery quest]

Someone’s gonna make the “wait, that’s illegal” meme as soon as we get the Halo CE spartan in infinite.

someone’s probably already done it.

[fickle drift]

The fact I said that word and got a bot warning is mid

[swift bolt]

Same

[vapid siren]

Oh yeah

[forest lagoon]

And then his teammate turns the corner and finishes you up as a kill

[vapid siren]

Oops

[fickle drift]

[candid solar]

It is part of the Courier Bundle.

[fickle drift]

[bright shoal]

I was warned once because I quoted Sergeant Johnson about giant hula hoops.

[fickle drift]

The official Xbox server be like:

[forest lagoon]

Yeah, that's what we're trying to help if you've been reading

[vapid siren]

[fickle drift]

I mean warnings don’t bother me but more than once I’ve gotten banned from a server due to the mental shallowness of admins being enough to excuse reasonably conversation from existing without conflict

[swift bolt]

Halo 3 rat my beloved

[solemn scroll]

I feel that. I had to turn voice chat off completely. Hated to, but I couldn't take it.

[bright shoal]

I wish muting people was easier.

[solemn scroll]

I gave up on playing ranked because my aim is awful. That or I'd do good for a match or two, then get matched with muuuuch higher ranking folks and get absolutely smeared.

[solemn scroll]

I used to be able to mute an entire lobby with my eyes closed on Halo 3 and Reach multiplayer lol just because I was so used to the button layout.

[bright shoal]

I had to use Google mid-game because I couldn't figure it out.

[inner kindle]

I will definitely say the ui in the game might need a little bit of an overhaul

Stuff is very hard to find

Armor selection needs to be vertical not horizontal

Honestly just copy MCC

[solemn scroll]

I’d agree, except I know as soon as I get used to it, it’ll change 😅

[fickle drift]

Personally I don’t enjoy Halo comp as much as casually playing Halo

The only games I enjoy Ranked in are like R6 and OW mostly

[bright shoal]

Also, there's nothing more demoralizing than thinking you had a good game, only to learn you performed the worst out of your team.

[fickle drift]

Or COD series

[inner kindle]

The only game I ever took seriously was rocket league

[bright shoal]

I wish disabling AI and Spartan chatter actually worked.

[inner kindle]

The best competitive games start out as casual experiences

[fickle drift]

My little brother is a great rocket league player but I don’t really play it like that

[inner kindle]

Yeah that's a lot of stuff in the game

[ornate knoll]

oh! cool

[inner kindle]

But ya know, they are fixing it, the leadership now is not the same that screwed up the launch, they got delt a bad hand

[ornate knoll]

So does leveling up always give you 1 Spartan point, or do you get an exponential amount of spartan points for leveling up?

[fickle drift]

I wish I could relive playing R6 the first time, It was the closest thing to a realistic special ops experience in comp gaming

[oblique sigil]

leadership is new and so are half the coders, art department was also axed almost completely wasn't it during all of the layoffs that came down from microsoft?

[inner kindle]

That's becuase of the recession

[bright shoal]

Isn't the new 343 lead the MCC guy?

[inner kindle]

Or, soon to be recession

[oblique sigil]

"recession" aka buying activision? 😂

[inner kindle]

Combination of both, and executive pay (greed)

[candid solar]

Campaign, not art.

[dire stag]

test

[bright shoal]

It's been two years and we still have no idea what the Endless are. ._.

[dire stag]

lfg to play Halo Infinite (Campaign)

[oblique sigil]

yeah we won't know what the endless are until the next title probably, pretty sure the campaign expansion was axed completely wasn't it

[bright shoal]

You might wanna go to #lfg-campaign

[dire stag]

kk

[bright shoal]

I'm pretty sure the majority of the base campaign was axed. There are a couple scenes in the trailer that aren't in the full game.

[inner kindle]

Failure always comes from the top

[bright shoal]

Some Halo toys are based on items that never made it to release.

[inner kindle]

A shame

[bright shoal]

Like the skiff or the armament blaster.

[candid solar]

She did fine, but it's always nice to hope new people are improvements no matter how good the prior person was.

And if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't have a modern Halo to complain about.

[oblique sigil]

really? i don't remember anything from the tailer that didn't make it into the campaign

[bright shoal]

Apparently the entire northeast section of the map was supposed to be playable, but had to be cut.

[inner kindle]

I hope when they make a new halo game they don't move to EU5, it feels like they would be shooting themselves in the foot

[oblique sigil]

was there an earlier trailer maybe that i missed

[candid solar]

The big alien creatures in the engine trailer.

[bright shoal]

There's a part where Chief has three glowing dots on his visor while standing in the dark, which was implied to be Offensive Bias.

[oblique sigil]

oh, wasn't that specified to be an engine test and not actual in-game footage?

[bright shoal]

The last part is unconfirmed, but still.

[candid solar]

Hmhmmmn.

[solemn scroll]

I do give insane credit to 343 for at least trying to keep things updated and refreshed. I know I'm pretty hyped for Season 5 and grinding to get the backpack, plus all the Halo 3 refueled stuff.

[oblique sigil]

i'm sure there are a ton of creatures that made it to concept in-engine but never in-game

or renders of them that never even made it to the engine for that matter

[bright shoal]

I just think it's silly that there are toys based off cut content.

[candid solar]

Why?

It's better than staying under wraps forever.

[bright shoal]

Because it shows just how terrible 343's management was.

[oblique sigil]

i mean i get that, the fact that toys made it to production and then the content got cut. assuming that's the case and it wasn't a test print of a toy that leaked

was it full production?

[candid solar]

That's... Not how that works.

[bright shoal]

The idea that these companies had concepted and mass-produced toys, only for them to not be in the game, is definitely a communication issue that the higher-ups would be in charge of.

[candid solar]

People cut things all the time, and it's better to do something with the cut ideas than nothing at all.

[oblique sigil]

if it was, then yes, that was an oops 😂 but if it was once again, a concept of a toy to be, test print, then meh

who cares if there's one of those out there leaked

[bright shoal]

I'd send images if I could, but yes.

There are a couple.

[inner kindle]

Yes, yes it is

[candid solar]

You can send links to sites if you cannot post embeds.

[inner kindle]

All problems come from management, either the manger of the employee's or the manager of the managers

[candid solar]

It literally isn't. Having a segment of something cut and having a merchandising product made are two entirely different sections of pipeline, and there's plenty of reasons to cut a variety of things.

It's hubris to think you know it's incompetent when your view of the pipeline is so shallow and narrow.

[inner kindle]

If management is signing off on toys on content you'd assume it would be stuff they are SURE would be in the game right

[bright shoal]

https://www.amazon.com/Mega-Construx-Halo-Infinite-Vehicle/dp/B07YQNRVZX
https://www.amazon.com/Disguise-Halo-Infinite-Forerunner-Blaster/dp/B07KWXGGFK

There are more, but these two are some of the bigger ones.

[inner kindle]

Like imagine management talking to the devs about making halo 7 toys, they devs don't know if master chief is gonna be in the game yet, but management signs off on Master chief toys anyways

[candid solar]

Why would I assume something so stupid when I'm more than informed enough to know it's not really the case?

[inner kindle]

I'm not sure why you are defending the managers, I get defending individual devs, they didn't do anything wrong, they are doing what they are told. The managers are the ones who decide what gets done or not

[bright shoal]

To me it sounds like the 343 executives were more concerned with toy sales than ensuring those things were actually completed.

[candid solar]

If you need to resort to extreme examples to make a point, your point isn't worth making.

[inner kindle]

Toy sales with microtransactions there you go, correct

That's becuase management don't play games anymore, at least at AAA studios. How are you supposed to make art if you have a suit constantly telling you what to do

[candid solar]

Good god, is it armchair developer Monday?

[ornate knoll]

Something interesting going on?

[bright shoal]

Remember that Bonnie Ross said every post-Guardians game would have splitscreen, only for their very next game to not feature it. Shows just how trustworthy she and her collegues were.

[forest lagoon]

Nope

[candid solar]

Actually, Infinite's had split screen since launch.

[inner kindle]

Lil bro is defending management

[candid solar]

Just not for campaign.

[inner kindle]

So it's not full splitscreen

[candid solar]

See, now I'm just waiting for you to say shill.

[ornate knoll]

Like the devs or the guys making 50 million a day for looking pretty

[inner kindle]

50 milli

[ornate knoll]

bro did you not learn your lesson from the writers strike

[inner kindle]

The devs are hardworking, management is not

[ornate knoll]

we are going to eat the rich

[bright shoal]

That seems like an "uhm, ackshually" type of thing. Not on your part, but on hers/theirs.

[inner kindle]

🤓

[ornate knoll]

the rich will pay in more than money soon inshallah

[candid solar]

I mean, it's still splitscreen. The reason it got cut from the campaign was due to performance taking a huge nosedive.

[bright shoal]

"We never shaid campaign splitscreen, sho, uhm, we never lied." 🤓

[inner kindle]

Inshallah

[candid solar]

I'm saying that from experience.

[forest lagoon]

Not really. Just pointing out where you may be lacking in knowledge and are spewing rumors that have no evidence to back up, continuing the cycle we've seen countless times.

[ornate knoll]

what rumors are they spewing

i just got here

[inner kindle]

I particularly don't care, the people making millions of dollars of the backs of hardworking devs and a desperate player base don't deserve a single benefit of doubt

[solemn scroll]

maybe one day we'll all be well informed enough

[inner kindle]

"Won't you think of the millionares" type beat

You can either read the back chat or start up a new topic that's actually interesting instead of droning this on more. Welcome

As long as people care more about sounding in the right than actually being right, not a snowball's chance in hell.

[bright shoal]

Bottom-right says campaign splitscreen is an upcoming feature, even if the date is TBD.

[inner kindle]

They have more important things to work on right now

As much as I would wish splitscreen to be in the game, most of the discourse is more about how they lied about it vs if people actually use it

[bright shoal]

If they promised it, it should be added.

Otherwise, they lied.

[inner kindle]

I agree, maybe once they get everything else ready, the more important stuff

[candid solar]

We must keep the whinemills running eternal.

[bright shoal]

Granted, the people who lied have long-since left 343, but still.

[ornate knoll]

LET the second, third, and fourth players use their multiplayer Spartan-IV armor so it wont be totally lore breaking(that way you can include everyone in cutscenes too)

[solemn scroll]

Yeah, well my Dad promised to take me to a NASCAR race when I was a kid and never did. I'm used to disappointment 😅

[forest lagoon]

Saying something and "promising" something are two different things. Stuff gets changed and different stuff happens frequently. Doesn't always mean it was a lie

[bright shoal]

I'm disappointed every morning when I look in the mirror. 😳

[inner kindle]

I honestly am not sure if that's worth the effort at this point

[elfin glacier]

and yet nobody seems to blame Microsoft for anything

[ornate knoll]

i mean i was playing campagn splitscreen on reach, halo 3, and halo 2 a ton this weekend so its not like nobody uses it

[inner kindle]

I do

[candid solar]

If actually managing to understand this gets translated to them as "Loves rich people", I think they're just a lost cause.

[inner kindle]

Microsoft hired those executives

[solemn scroll]

samesies, dont feel bad

[ornate knoll]

is there a ticket channel

[candid solar]

There's a ticket website.

[cedar turret]

I think it's time to move on. Perhaps to talking about jumpers or soup, since the autumn chill is sneaking in

Good. Summer is horrible. 😈

I do love soup season. I think I might make some french onion soup this weekend again.

My current favorite jumper is a navy blue cable knit number

[candid solar]

Or borscht.

I've never had borscht before, after all.

[inner kindle]

This is what big gov wants you to believe

[elfin glacier]

there's plenty in the channel

[forest lagoon]

It's finally cool enough to wear a hoodie and not die of heat exhaustion

[bright shoal]

I ususally stick to indie games because they're almost always more transparent. Halo is the only real exception for me.

[candid solar]

Wot

indie games
more transparent

lol, lmao even

[ornate knoll]

its true

[bright shoal]

[ornate knoll]

winter is infinitely better than summer, im afraid

[bright shoal]

Indie creators are not bound by contracts to keep quiet, typically.

Jackets and big fluffy pants > the 1 billionth person wearing shorts and t shirt

[bright shoal]

I'm talking about games like Kenshi or Ultrakill. Both are great with creators who are very open when it comes to development.

[forest lagoon]

Whoa there, winter. You can have that cold wet sad mess

[elfin glacier]

for every 1 half decent indie game there's a hundred trash tier utterly derivative wastes of ssd wear capacity

[forest lagoon]

I'll gladly take heat death of summer over winter any day

[solemn scroll]

That's certainly a way of looking at things....

[elfin glacier]

I'm thinking about all those kickstarter rugpulls where the developers just vanish

[candid solar]

I'm aware. I'm saying the majority is shovelware or worse, so saying Indie games are more 'open' and 'transparent' is false the majority of the time.

[inner kindle]

I don't know what you expect from individual game developers

[cedar turret]

The only problem with winter is icy roads. Other than that it's superior

[inner kindle]

Most of these games don't even have budgets

[bright shoal]

It's not an indie game if there is no game.

[cedar turret]

autumn and spring are the best seasons by default

[ornate knoll]

[elfin glacier]

people say iNdIe gAeMz r BetR den aAa, ergo I expect that then

[candid solar]

Morumets?

[inner kindle]

What's worse, playing forespoken or redfall, or playing a garbage indie game to give a small developer feedback to make sure their next game is better

[cedar turret]

Plus our greatest national holiday is coming soon

[candid solar]

Missed the point by a country mile.

[elfin glacier]

or I could save my time and not play any of those lol

sorry but ferenhiet wins in the weather system, sweetie. metric can have the W everywhere else but celsus is poodoo

Don't feed the troll

[ornate knoll]

celcius is way too punishing

[bright shoal]

"Tea and crumpets, it's 0.05 degrees! I've been lit aflame!"

[inner kindle]

This is extremely accurate

[solemn scroll]

Celsius? More like NAH-sius!

[ornate knoll]

actually england is on the same latitude as akaska so the hot weathers there last year are bad and not just englishmen complaining

It's still morally correct to make fun of the British.

Flying home tomorrow so by the time I get home, I’ll be playing it

Man, my hype for tomorrow just got stabbed.

[stoic mantle]

hello im new to this dc

the reason i joined is bc none of my friends liked halo or wanted to play w me, and to also find some people to play with

[fickle drift]

#lfg-campaign
#lfg-competitive

#lfg-customs
#lfg-forge

You can find people this way

[oblique sigil]

beat me to it

you got a macro for that? 😂

[fickle drift]

No

I type it out

[oblique sigil]

[faint mantle]

Pro-tip: do !l4g

[fickle drift]

Thanks

I never know the commands here

How come there isn’t a list for them?

Or would that just result in spam

[wary dove]

Does anyone know what time the season 5 update rolls out

[bold sparrow]

What time zone you in?

[wary dove]

Est

[topaz nexus]

Morning all, hope everyone will have a great day.

[bold sparrow]

About 1pm probably? Give or take

It should roll out at the usual time that the weekly refresh does

[dry dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/master-chief-halo-gif-19708763

Awesome you guys have put firefight into the new season!
If i may make a suggestion, dont get rid of the current seasonal passes (could you bundle them for returning players)
Gives us something to grind and you get some dosh$$
I look forward to coming back to Halo infinite with open arms
*please add the covvie carbine!

Regards

A long time fan

[faint mantle]

Do not forget Firefight isn't dropping tomorrow, but later in the season.

Seasonal passes never truly go away, once a season is over you can't unlock them for free, but they'll always be available for purchase to complete them.

[hearty flame]

I hope they do infinitely repeatable wave-based enemies with scaling health or something in Forge coding

[normal compass]

When Mark V kit cost money and isn’t free for its anniversary

[candid solar]

I'd rather have the Needle Rifle over the Carbine

But then that's like, one of maybe three guns from Reach that I don't dislike simply for being in Reach.

[oblique sigil]

so does anyone know yet how they're doing the ranked bandit starts? is it a 2nd ranked playlist or are they just pulling the BR all together

[obsidian wyvern]

the ranked arena playlist is gonna have bandit Evo starts and not br starts

[fickle drift]

So I watched the season 5 trailer and I honestly gotta just put it out there, after nearly 2 years of just strictly pvp content in halo infinite it would have been nice to have firefight koth at launch instead of extraction

[mental aspen]

does the ranked map rotation change when a new season drops ? (not talking about the new map, i mean the old ones )

i'm sick of live fire, the worst looking map in the history of the game

[elfin glacier]

live fire looks fine?

[candid solar]

It's just got a lot of grass

[mental aspen]

it doesnt to my eyes.

thats all there is , grass.

im sick of usec themed maps in general.

[candid solar]

Of all the complaints, that sure is one

[elfin glacier]

i mean Valhalla is like 90% grass

[mental aspen]

yeah i know, im spoiled by the sci fi themes of older halos

[elfin glacier]

blood gulch is full of grass

[mental aspen]

yeah but it is a great map. grass aint the problem

[elfin glacier]

and yes I am being obtuse

[candid solar]

Mfw literally half of the 'Sci fi themes' of Halo 3 were literally soviet style concrete bunkers or just slightly fancy factories next to modern dockyards

[mental aspen]

whatever i have my opinions doesnt matter what i think, im of the old school maps enjoyer and of the opinion that 343 cant make a good map. But the question stands. Do they change rotation in ranked ?

[obsidian wyvern]

no it isn't

[oblique sigil]

figured that much but are we getting a 2nd ranked playlist with BR starts or are they pulling the BR all together. if they're running bandit evo starts for year 3 of HCS then there should be an HCS playlist with those settings but i don't see why the BR would be replaced in your every day ranked playlist

[obsidian wyvern]

don't think so

[mental aspen]

slayer enjoyer ?

[oblique sigil]

that's a big oof

[obsidian wyvern]

blood gulch is a bad map all around

it's one of the worst maps halo has ever had

[oblique sigil]

most halo maps are bad maps all around, to be fair 😂 few have less cons than pros

halo has always been flawed

[mental aspen]

halo 2 had great maps in my book.

[oblique sigil]

hard disaree there, i hated halo 2 the most of all halo games

the maps + smg secondary

[mental aspen]

each on their own. Im the type that wants BTB to have a ranked mode. Like the golden age of Halo.

[candid solar]

Mood kindred?

[obsidian wyvern]

and wdym 343 can't make good maps

live fire
recharge
Aquarius
plaza

there's so many more but that's just off the top of my head

[candid solar]

I honestly really dislike Plaza.

[elfin glacier]

live fire has too much grass = bad

[oblique sigil]

yeah i'm a halo 3 kid, nothing will ever live up to what h3 was unfortunately 😂 i'm cursed with that

i grew up in the 360 xbox live boom

[candid solar]

It's not as bad as Midship though. Midship can take a long walk off a short pier.

[mental aspen]

grass aint the problem. Its a boring looking map

[oblique sigil]

watched it all die as an older teen/adult

midship was best done as heretic imo, the halo 3 version of it

[candid solar]

Little overdramatic.

[obsidian wyvern]

I can understand disliking the map if you played during the first flight

[mental aspen]

Hes not at all, Halo 2/3 were the peak of halo multiplayer.

[oblique sigil]

literally identical to halo 2's version but polished 😂 and no bxr

[candid solar]

Oh I hated that too. Because I hate Midship and every single iteration of it.

[obsidian wyvern]

all we ever got was live fire and it kind of became too much after launch, but it's a good map nonetheless

[candid solar]

Nice opinion.

Don't agree with it in the slightest unless you're talking relative popularity, but nice opinion.

[obsidian wyvern]

heretic with plasma nades starts was painful

[fading silo]

It all depends on the person ig. I prefer the oldies too but that’s me

[mental aspen]

You dont have to agree.

[oblique sigil]

live fire is solid and so is aquarius, i actually like argyle too but i wish some things were changed. i feel it's too closed in, if it was more open concept and less 3 laney i would like it even more

[mental aspen]

Aquarius is great. I agree.

[oblique sigil]

streets i hate, launch site i hate, detachment i hate

[candid solar]

Well, yeah, it's an opinion to say they were the best. That's kind of the point of an opinion.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah streets is a good map too

[oblique sigil]

i loathe streets

[obsidian wyvern]

detachment is horrible

[oblique sigil]

streets is okay for oddball but i hate it for most other modes

[obsidian wyvern]

it's an intense map

[oblique sigil]

especially slayer, which i don't even think i've seen in ranked tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

for all modes

[lapis snow]

any other news drops before the update ?

[oblique sigil]

but in social for slayer on streets i hate it's 1 sidedness

[elfin glacier]

behemoth my beloved

[oblique sigil]

and i hate plaza, the remake and original. it's too easy to spawn trap at yard/bend

[elfin glacier]

i've loved behemoth since d1

[obsidian wyvern]

siege smh

[mental aspen]

Nothing will top that old era for me. First of all, almost EVERYONE was on mic, coordinating, talking, having fun, playying as a team. Also, BTB was ranked, you had a great ranking system that every MOBA copied later, everyone was playing the objective. It was great.

[oblique sigil]

yeah nothing will live up to halo 3

but that's fine, as long as it tries 😂

[fading silo]

And the smack talk was out of this world

[elfin glacier]

people be like "reember when halo had vehicles and jumps and not unsc maps" and then will proceed to hate behemoth

[candid solar]

I have no real respect for that era.

[oblique sigil]

kids today would just cry man @fading silo they couldn

[mental aspen]

i like behemoth.

[oblique sigil]

couldn't survive the halo 3/mw2 lobbies 😂

[mental aspen]

true yup.

[candid solar]

I dunno, gamers from that era can't seem to handle pronoun options in RPGs. I'd say it's about even.

[oblique sigil]

i think mw2 even topped halo 3 for how bad it was

[mental aspen]

For some reason 343 HATES leaving freaking SPACE for vehicle combat.

[chilly bronze]

hehe

[candid solar]

Conscious decision made to balance vehicle play away from overrunning infantry combat.

[oblique sigil]

it's not about being able to handle them, it's about it being forced. give me a toggle to turn them on/off. idc if other people have them, i just don't wanna have to scroll through an alphebetical list of like 9 things minimum to find male/female 😂 no offense to anyone

[mental aspen]

thats skill issue. And not leaving space for vehicles is not a solution.

[obsidian wyvern]

that's a skill issue is a shot at yourself?

[mental aspen]

are you mad ? for some reason you seem mad.

[candid solar]

Gonna say, that skill issue pointer finger's got another three pointing back at you lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm not the one complaining

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern help my laptop is being loud

[obsidian wyvern]

open 50 more chrome tabs

heard it helps

[oblique sigil]

💀

chrome tabs

[mental aspen]

of course im gonna complain. Too many carebears out there today making halo a shadow of its former self.

[elfin glacier]

i use edge on that laptop due to a work thing

[fading silo]

Try putting it in rice

[oblique sigil]

get opera gx like a real giga chad

[obsidian wyvern]

it's former self to you is blood gulch and that's not a good look lol

[candid solar]

See? Overdramatic.

[oblique sigil]

do you even browse bro?

[mental aspen]

its not just blood gulch, get over it already.

[candid solar]

You really should, man.

[elfin glacier]

opera gx is also chromium

[mental aspen]

Older halo wasnt only blood gulch.

[obsidian wyvern]

my favourite halo is 3 so I don't need you to educate me lol

[mental aspen]

At least the gameplay is still great. I give them that.

[mental aspen]

So stop saying blood gulch then ?

[oblique sigil]

at this point i associate old halo with pit 😂 i'm so sick of seeing pit. but it's one of the only good maps we've had in like a decade. very few top it
