[spice bolt]

Hi everyone 🙂
I am on a mission to obtain Halo 2 Anniversary's cutscene music and I want to get in contact with 343 industries. Is this the proper location to do that?

[halcyon glen]

Me, an ODST (minimum wage worker) getting deployed to the drop zone from orbit (pulling up to work in my Toyota) to get into scuffles with Covenant (customers arguing about prices) and eliminating grunts by the dozen (yelling at children running down the bowling lanes)

[spice bolt]

...?

[wheat lantern]

Wort Wort Wort

[coarse sphinx]

What is you'lls opinon on the bandit Evo

I like BR better

[silent grotto]

ok. . . HOW do i start a BR game on Infinate??

i cant change the Round limit and every time i start a game it ends with in the first 5 seconds. . . so like WTF!?

[coarse sphinx]

?

[silent grotto]

the new battle royal gamemode

[coarse sphinx]

Did it drop?

[steady jolt]

I don't believe there's any way to get this without violating the Game Content Useage Guidelines

[coarse sphinx]

BR or Evo for ranked?

[void jasper]

awabugdah

[fickle drift]

Is it too much to ask for the sword reticle when sprinting?

[steady jolt]

I have no preference, but please remember to turn off the ping/tag before replying. Thanks

[silent grotto]

someone made one, its a Forge game with AI and its awsome but im trying to start a game of my own and i cant. .

[spice bolt]

But is there any way to get in contact with 343?

[steady jolt]

please remember to turn off the ping/tag before replying. Thanks

They'll tell you pretty much what I said already

If it hasn't been officially released, there isn't a way to get it

[lofty verge]

It is not. It’s original to Infinite. But three-lane maps are very common in Halo.

[coarse sphinx]

When is falcon coming to ifinite?

[fickle drift]

As far as we know? Never

[obsidian wyvern]

😔

I can't say it'd work too well on the maps we have rn anyway

[vestal wolf]

@smoky token Are leaks allowed to be shared here?

[coarse sphinx]

Idk

[fickle drift]

They are not, fyi

[coarse sphinx]

oops, should i delete that

[fickle drift]

You'll note the part where I said 'As far as we know'

[livid nova]

For all its flaws, I still think Halo 4 has arguably the best soundtrack in the series

[vestal wolf]

Oh hard agree, I love Halo 4s story too but the soundtrack is a huge winner in my heart

[coarse sphinx]

should i delete that'

[queen remnant]

Leaks are a no no here

[coarse sphinx]

so should i delete that]

[queen remnant]

What do you think?

[coarse sphinx]

Idk

[fleet burrow]

Ranked mode is great

[sinful solar]

Hey guys, I’m looking at a piece of armor for the chimera armor core. It’s called compliance protocol for the chest. I can’t see to show when or how that was released, but it’s not among the “vaulted” items I can purchase even though it’s not in store rotation. Will that ever return? Was it exclusive or something?

[tawny warren]

How come brushfire shows up for every core except mk vii for me

[steady jolt]

I'm sure it will return at some point

[zenith jackal]

YEA

[sinful solar]

Gotcha. What about past release twitch drop items? Are those the kind of items that do not return?

Thanks for the replies also. I’m thinking about getting back into Halo more.

[steady jolt]

Twitch Drops were actually part of our #giveaways during the Halo World Championship, I'm sure they'll return at some point too

They also show up, sometimes, when Grassroots or other streamers are live on Twitch for various community events

[forest sentinel]

are we ever gonna be able to get the individual armor peices from the rusalka armor kit or are we forced to use the entire set together?

[muted rose]

Never, I blew up the manufacturing facility on reach

(Join the colonial alliance)

[dreamy stirrup]

#halo-support-news

[radiant mortar]

What’s up boyos

[muted rose]

The sky

[bronze breach]

was a store bundle and I think was purchasable throughout the season under redundant spiral coating.

[hearty kiln]

Yo

[fresh urchin]

Hello

[hearty kiln]

I just reached lvl 50 with the new pass from 2x boosts and challenges

[earnest umbra]

im at tier 39

[lapis snow]

I was skeptical about cross-core chest pieces, because they are made for each core individually and will probably cause a lot of visual clipping.

but 10 seconds of this vid and Im sold on that idea, I don't care about what kind of visual abominations it will cause if we will have smth like that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq_OrVSnS_0

still no perms

life is pain

[rigid heath]

Maybe this is a stupid question, but is there an option on the XBOX store that lets me buy Game Pass Ultimate beyond singular months? There used to be a time I could buy a years worth at a discounted price for Xbox Gold, but I don't know if that is even around anymore. The reason I ask is because I've seen GPU cards being sold online that lasted a whole year

[little coral]

Don’t you love it when the enemy is a world renowned marksmen anytime they pick up the battle rifle yet when you pick it up you can’t hit the side of barn?

[muted rose]

Church?

Is that you?

[little coral]

Maybe

[obsidian wyvern]

you can get 3, 6 and 12 months

[upper patio]

Should be able to buy 1 month, 3 months or a year

I didn’t see you beat me to that rev

[obsidian wyvern]

but they changed the 1:1 gold conversion so something less, so it's not worth it anymore

we're just drilling the info into his head

[steady jolt]

Conversion is now 3:2

[obsidian wyvern]

it's just cheaper to stack the GPU itself right

[rigid heath]

I've been looking at it, but I can't seem to find the option. Maybe I need to use my laptop for this part

[spice bolt]

Nooooooo thanks anyway

[rigid heath]

Do I need to cancel the subscription, then resubscribe via the other months?

[little coral]

How about we pay Microsoft in literal gold. An ounce for 6 months

[upper patio]

That’s 2 thousand dollars bro. More like a flake of gold for 6 months

[smoky token]

@vestal wolf you kinda smell

have you showered recently?

oh wait that’s just the stench of Ac

i think he’s nearby

[vestal wolf]

😭 i just got hom- oh yes that'll be it

[smoky token]

@elfin glacier go clean the sewers

[rare cedar]

[dusty peak]

So I feel like halo infinite custom games match cap to get the daily cap seems like it takes forever to get with the 120 XP per match cap of being in there for 12 full minutes.
As custom daily cap is 7500

So it would take bout 10 hours in best education guess. But feel like there should be a slight change to the XP received per match. I think it should be 500 XP for the full 12 minutes per match and would be a little bit faster to get to the custom daily cap in just bout 3 hours

[obsidian wyvern]

Brett with a valid complaint is wild

the match cap is too low

[dusty peak]

You can all agree or disagree with this but I just feel like the XP gain in customs for infinite just take too long to get to the daily cap, and not really worth playing 12 hours to get to the cap. As it doesn't give you score progress to the career rank system.

[elfin glacier]

i will add literally thousands of reports to the queue

[dusty peak]

Yea I been thinking on it for a bit

[bronze breach]

the irony... im making an excel tool with macros and formulas to aid my work when Im on sick leave due to MH of my job

[rare cedar]

How would you feel if I added the ) at the end of your name

[bronze breach]

probably couldnt because he reached discord char limit lol

[obsidian wyvern]

PANDA PLEASE DO IT

[dusty peak]

Correct

[obsidian wyvern]

remove the space between t and the first space and add the final bracket.. or do a dash

[rare cedar]

type now, brett

[obsidian wyvern]

omg ty

you don't understand how much that final bracket being missing has annoyed me

it was almost worse than capitalising the first letter of every word

[rare cedar]

it's been bothering me too lol

[hasty zinc]

it's beautiful

I've waited so long for this

[rare cedar]

@dusty peak if you want it back, lemme know

[dusty peak]

K

[fickle drift]

what did I miss?

[hasty zinc]

pure glory

[obsidian wyvern]

😮😮

[bronze breach]

you missed me winning the world cup

[hasty zinc]

this is better than full cross-core

[obsidian wyvern]

my life has lead up to this moment

[vestal wolf]

oh no i missed it

[fickle drift]

what? did Woolly Mammoths get resurrected or something?!

[obsidian wyvern]

(really cool pfp)

[hasty zinc]

not for another 3 years

[fickle drift]

darnit

[obsidian wyvern]

I heard they come back when season 14 of halo infinite comes out

[hasty zinc]

oh 4 years, dang

https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/animals/a42708517/scientists-reincarnating-woolly-mammoth/

[vestal wolf]

new minecraft mob

[fickle drift]

The thylacine and dodo are being resurrected as well

[obsidian wyvern]

but we have to vote for it and it'll lose

[vestal wolf]

here we have all the cute mobs who are hoping to be restored from extinction!

https://tenor.com/view/jeb-tiny-jens-minecraft-mojang-dance-gif-13231209238714427824

[obsidian wyvern]

waiting for the return of the dodo bird

[hasty zinc]

we're so close to dinosaurs

[vestal wolf]

oh right i cant embed yet whoops

[bronze breach]

You know what this sounds like...

Jurassic Park...

First mammoths, then Dinos then full on bioengineering war

[fickle drift]

if theres one depressing story relating to extinction its what happened to the Kauai O'o' (a hawaiian bird), we only have the male part of the song and not the female part and that alone haunts me.

[hasty zinc]

have you ever seen that picture of that last known lion species?

[fickle drift]

you mean the one in north africa?

[hasty zinc]

Barbary Lion

[fickle drift]

yeah I heard of that

[fickle drift]

they're still around actually albiet in zoos

theres less than 100 of them left though

beautiful creatures

[hasty zinc]

wait really? I thought that was the last known photo of them

that's cool

[fickle drift]

have a look at these beauties https://youtu.be/kzMUYF2FFZU?si=MuCgZPDUAyz2lk3q

[hasty zinc]

✨ MAGESTIC ✨

I want to cuddle with one

[fickle drift]

yeah good luck with that

[bronze breach]

What happened to the ufo meeting that was on the news?

Just concluded its dead end fake news stuff so far?

[hasty zinc]

it's still ongoing

[bronze breach]

Damn.

[hasty zinc]

we call them UAPs now

[bronze breach]

Which stands for?

[vestal wolf]

Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena

[bronze breach]

Oh

In medical terms, delusions?

[vestal wolf]

UFO will stay in pop culture

[bronze breach]

[hasty zinc]

no like legit stuff that nobody can figure out what it is

[vestal wolf]

Mmmm, no, all three things apply to historic sighings; they're unidentified, anomolies, or phenomenons

instead of just being unidentified, but objects, and flying

so now UAPs can land too kek

[bronze breach]

Oh

[fickle drift]

fun fact: there was one bear species also in North Africa during recorded history, the Atlas Bear: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_bear

[bronze breach]

Well aliens can utilize the key strategic weakness of the human race.

Reanimate the dead. Since the dead outweighs the living. 👍

[fickle drift]

imagine if Aliens aren't little green men and its literally just Dead Space all over again

[bronze breach]

Thought they were suppose to be grey lol

[fickle drift]

oh, wait

[thorny saddle]

I need a squad for ranked anyone can play I need 3 ?

I’m on series X and have a mic looking for good callouts

[fickle drift]

at least they're focusing on something that won't wreak havok and eat humans

besides, the non-avian Dinosaurs are literally impossible to resurrect because none of their DNA is left because DNA dies off and fades away after like 1 million years

[twilit vector]

If we get cross core shoulders nexts
Im going to have so much fun making custom armors for my group

Im so hoping we get gunginer shoulders soon

[dry kelp]

Best way to get halo infinite xp 🗿

[twilit vector]

So when are we get old events back

I missed alot due to work and there no way to get the amrors

[fickle drift]

Hey fellas! What’s up? I don’t chat here often

[fickle drift]

I usually just play btb, it gives you 250 xp per match and if you have the battlepass is gives you 100 more xp

So if you equip an xp boost you can level up from only 2 matches of btb

[spark drum]

Quick question is 343 making a short story about how the Spartan containment team got infected by the flood?

[rare cedar]

Other than the intel blog that came out, I don't believe so.

[strong ether]

they dont do that anymore right

[rare cedar]

BUT we could be wrong

[spark drum]

I was kind of hoping they were gonna do a short horror story for Halloween but I guess it’s a longshot.

[hasty zinc]

no the longshot is a gun

[cedar turret]

Write one yourself. Maybe they'll do a story contest or a story themed spotlight in the future.

[hasty zinc]

is that a super hero named longshot?

[lunar parrot]

quickshot

[cedar turret]

more of a reality tv star named longshot.

[chilly timber]

is there any official confirmation on how long s5 lasts

[muted rose]

Forever

I actually thought you were unyshek for a sec though

[rigid heath]

Been tinkering about with this. Is there any way to switch from the monthly Xbox GPU to yearly on my device without having to buy a card, or is it exclusively through the cards?

[haughty wraith]

I think a month

Or two

[chilly timber]

lol unyshek asking discord chat how long season lasts

[rigid heath]

There is an operation that will begin in November, and another in December, but those are like mini seasons within S5

[copper harness]

what about S6?

[clever basin]

I hope for season 6 in next year

[rigid heath]

What are you hoping for in S6?

[clever basin]

I don’t know yet

[pliant hatch]

s5 ends Jan 30th so sometime after that

[candid quail]

has anyone else been having issues with steam & halo infinite

like, installing/updating

[clever basin]

I hope it’s gonna be another halo championship in next year

[earnest umbra]

there is

[clever basin]

How about the voice actors I’m just guessing for the halo championship 2024

[clever basin]

Oh

[chilly timber]

where did u saw this

[clever basin]

Well ill wait and see what happens in next year

[rigid heath]

The only thing I would hope for are bigger sandbox updates in S6. Things like weapons, vehicles, equipment, etc, I would love to see more of. There are still many missing weapons and vehicles that really shouldn't be gone. Maps are coming in droves now, and with firefight coming in mid S5, that will be alot of fun for some folks

[clever basin]

I met Steve downes in a month ago I was like 😱😃🥲

[fickle drift]

have they given us a date for when Mark V is gonna release in the shop?

[lusty star]

Halo infinite season 5 has me like "ITS DA FLOOD ITS DA FLOOD".

[clever basin]

It was a miracle and my dreams or my wishes came true when I met Steve downes for the first time I thought I was gonna cry

[alpine mantle]

halo infinite the helment got cross core like example samuri helment on mark V this update

[clever basin]

I will totally cry if I met the voices of arbiter and Cortana

[pliant hatch]

in the s5 blog and in the patch notes

[dawn shoal]

What's the xp bonus for owning the BP?

[rigid heath]

Kinda hard for that to happen since he sadly passed away

[alpine mantle]

Press F to pay respect

[clever basin]

DUDE I WILL BE SO HEART BROKEN

[rigid heath]

It was definitely unfortunate. The man was a great voice talent

[clever basin]

I know right he’s my favorite person ever I since I met him

[cedar turret]

Keith David is still alive.

[clever basin]

I know that

[fickle drift]

I hope 343 brings back warzone in Halo Infinite, it’s my favorite gamemode in Halo 5

[rigid heath]

Oh man, sorry. It was Lance Reddick who passed away. I thought the guy who did Zavala and the Arbiter were one in the same

[fickle drift]

I think Keith David is going to be the replacement voice actor for Zavala

[alpine mantle]

im still waiting firefight for halo infinite

[rigid heath]

That will happen during the mid season update

[clever basin]

Keith david did amazing job of voicing arbiter. The cat from the stop motion coraline , the king what ever his name from Disney’s amphibia and I can’t remember the villain name from the Disney’s princess and the frog either

[fickle drift]

Keith David is just awesome

[clever basin]

I know right?

[fickle drift]

I’m glad Bungie chose him to play Zavala, he’s pretty cool

[clever basin]

Nice

Disney the princess and the frog was so nostalgic for me

And the most nostalgic song ever is that the song called never knew I needed by ne-yo

[crystal hamlet]

guys is waypoint down?

[wind kayak]

any custom games for grinding xp quickly yet?

[hasty zinc]

up fo rme

[zenith jackal]

what do ya'll think they'll add in season 6

[smoky token]

FOTUS Chillrose and Operator, I hope

if absolutely nothing else

Warzone would be cool too but I don’t know how they would do that without monetizing it like they did in 5

[desert basin]

How do you get XP in custom games? Do I have to do PVP matches? I try firefight modes but dont get XP in the end

[viral dune]

Hot oj

[elfin glacier]

🙏

hello ickty spartan

[viral dune]

Hi

[spare oak]

Is there a game mode with arena battle rifle as the starting weapon

[quick escarp]

Slayer

[spare oak]

I thought u started with the MA5D in slayer

[rare cedar]

!xp

Oop

I forgot the command

[thorn flame]

Is anyone else experiencing a ton of crashes in infinite? I can’t play because the game keeps closing to my Xbox home menu. Really very frustrating. My ping is in the low 20s I have a series X why is the game crashing. This needs to be fixed

[desert basin]

How come custom games have me loading forever?

[hearty flame]

I LOVE how he is popping off rn

Two versions of Spawn, Zavala, and a TV and movie appearance

I love Keith David

[fickle drift]

same

Like I said before, he’s awesome

[quick escarp]

There’s a variant in team slayer that lets you start with BRs, there’s also a BR variant in tac slayer

[tight remnant]

i dont like that

[thorn flame]

The game crashing and having a 50-50 sbmm that results in a predetermined outcome? Or the br varient?

[tight remnant]

BR variant

[ebon seal]

100 xp bonus per match (independand from the kind of match, so you will get 100 bonus xp for a BTB match, but also for a bot bootcamp match)

[forest lagoon]

Have you filed a ticket?

[floral cobalt]

Man you I think with the new season there would be more group posts for like BTB or something

[rich cypress]

anyone messing around with forge ai that might be able to help with a script issue?

[torpid ore]

The ai is out now?

[rich cypress]

yup lol i'm making a custom firefight map but my script is all whack at wave 3 lol

[torpid ore]

Dear Sue,
I write this haiku for you.
The river is wide, and I can't step it.
I love you, girl, and I can't help it. Cortana - is that 21 syllables?
No - 17... 17 for a haiku. Sergeant out.

that fact that an ODST sings Edwin Starr's War in Halo 2 is hilarious

[rich cypress]

gotta love it

[torpid ore]

then that same ODST divorces his wife via Cortana

[leaden bay]

When will halo come to Mobile

[copper harness]

never

[upper patio]

Why would it ever

👁️👄👁️

[leaden bay]

Dang it

I always wanted to play without cloud

[upper patio]

If you save up some money you could get a console, or buy one off someone locally

[leaden bay]

I own a PC

[upper patio]

Then why do you need cloud to play halo????

[leaden bay]

Phone

So I could do It portable

[upper patio]

Oh yeah that won’t happen. I was almost stunned just now

[pliant hatch]

think Spartan Strike and Assault are on mobile

[upper patio]

I was like, if this goes in a circle that’s crazy

[leaden bay]

Not on Android

[pliant hatch]

well you didn't specify

[upper patio]

I doubt mcc or infinite would ever come to mobile

[leaden bay]

Sorry

[gentle island]

Hey guys

[austere vigil]

any idea why the load times are worse than the og xbox?

i try to get 3 matches a day in but now it seems I barely have time for 1...

[pliant hatch]

maybe try this if it applies to you.

[feral yew]

Good evening fellow humans

[tight remnant]

ugh not fun having to face this team of farmers in BTB at night

[novel tangle]

interesting

[tight remnant]

why is it that when i play with this one friend, who's been burnt out, it almost always seems to go bad and result in him crashing, and now me crashing. the few times he comes to play halo, something wrong almost always happens

[neon halo]

343 is literally murpheys law

[tight remnant]

It's literally something goes wrong so he stops playing and he forms a bad opinion because of crashing out lagging out glitching out

[neon halo]

Can’t even blame him at that point

[mighty stream]

anyone else having audio issues? Seems like footsteps are unaudible sometimes, and gunshots take some seconds to register, getting shot from behind is harder to detect bc you cant even hear where you are getting shot from

[obsidian wyvern]

my footsteps have been non existent for the last 3 seasons

[vestal wolf]

very sneaky

spartans are noted to be able to move quietly even in mjolnir that's a feature

[obsidian wyvern]

I have to rely on Spartan chatter to figure out if they're below me

[candid solar]

Trenchbird (real)

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern

[tardy pier]

I kinda wonder if infinite will kill halo like crysis 2 killed crysis.

[novel tangle]

i doubt it. forge update is cool. feel like the main things people are bummed about is alot of paid customization, shop prices, playlist options, and playable elites, and then campaign and storylines in general.

oh and cant miss assasinations and some of these weapons

[tardy pier]

yeah but the microtransactions and mediocre gameplay

i mean yeah player made maps might be great but i would like to see a official infection mode

[novel tangle]

i mean there literally added one last season unless you are talking about a more traditional styled one

[tardy pier]

My favourite infection style was in early halo 5 prob only good thing that came out of it

[novel tangle]

idk, i think infinite did really good this update, and it makes me optimistic to see what more they can improve upon and add.

afterall, its not like the game is completely broken and unplayable, it plays really well now.

so in my mind, theres not much left to add that the fans want

[obsidian wyvern]

5s infection is the best infection I've played

I would bring back that type in a heartbeat

[wild sleet]

I need Reset to hurry up getting tired of having no Challenges to boost the Battle Pass up

[novel tangle]

yeah, i keep hearing that alot recently. 343 has an opportunity that they could take, maybe make a playlist speciffically designed to play like 5 infection down to the atom, and then add flood theming to it, maybe even give us real living flood for infinite

i guess im at the point where im past the doom and gloom, and i dont really have much to complain about or rather a desire to complain at all

flood firefight in infinite would be awesome too

[raw yarrow]

Why is it taking so long for these Unicorn of Fire nameplates to be sent out? Me and a few others have been waiting since August

[steady jolt]

Did you fill out the form at the bottom of the Spotlight post?

[raw yarrow]

Yes

It said 4 weeks, and I’ve tried to reach out via Twitter

[obsidian wyvern]

I haven't seen you here in a good year

I remember the Anubis pfp pretty well

[raw yarrow]

Yea, been busy with a job and animation/blender stuff

Though I do still play Halo whenever given the opportunities, just never really active here

[wild sleet]

Drop Walls in Super Fiesta fair dinkum they’re infuriating sometimes

[grizzled bluff]

I wish this game would stop putting me on the trashcan team every match

[wild sleet]

You & me both

[novel tangle]

solution, stack. just find someway to stack, regardless if you don't have friends

unless you feel like playing solo of course

[tough rose]

Why can't I find any matches on this game

[obsidian tundra]

hello halo

Anybody?

[hollow hamlet]

Howdy

[obsidian tundra]

Sup

[hollow hamlet]

Now much, how are you?

[obsidian tundra]

I’m good, how about you?

[hollow hamlet]

Doing well, thanks.

[obsidian tundra]

Nice, dam your staff

[hollow hamlet]

Most of the other folks are far more active than I am, but I like to check in every now and then.

[steady jolt]

Viper! it's been a minute 😄

[hollow hamlet]

Yessir haha

[obsidian tundra]

Okay

[obsidian tundra]

Hello

Okay

[steady jolt]

Hi

[obsidian tundra]

How are you?

[steady jolt]

Busy this morning, would appreciate you turning off the ping/tag before replying. Thanks :)

[obsidian tundra]

Okay

Didn’t know

[obsidian tundra]

ok

Is this an active server

[steady jolt]

Generally, yes, but this is always a quiet time for most places - it's very early across the US and in the UK/Europe, people are in school or at work

[queen remnant]

Imagine sleeping, working or studying. Couldn't be me

[tough rose]

Been trying to played rank for the past hour

[obsidian wyvern]

good luck with that lol

[wild sleet]

Playing Husky Raid with 2/10 wins I’m suffering but I’m happy about it

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont think my husky raid W/L ratio is very good ngl

[tired wraith]

My husky raid kill to death ratio is the most unsimplified thing ever

[tough rose]

When am I able to play rank

Only thing what stop me from really playing cause I can't even find matches with good ping here in England

[hasty zinc]

[steady jolt]

big same

[obsidian wyvern]

idk how youre still alive

[tough rose]

Why is it so hard to find eu games

[steady jolt]

My body doesn't function well with more than 4 to 6 hours sleep
Every few months I will get a dip though, and crash

[obsidian wyvern]

stckr

[steady jolt]

A day or 2 and I'm back to normal

[steady jolt]

This is the dream

[obsidian wyvern]

just look at the time

[steady jolt]

I'm coming back as a giraffe

[obsidian wyvern]

bet

[void jasper]

what

why can we all be like that

[obsidian wyvern]

we gotta evolve bro

[steady jolt]

I would absolutely have my sleep removed if I could

[obsidian wyvern]

the only reason i stay up past like midnight is because its pretty much the only time of day where im not disturbed

i can actually do whatever i want without being annoyed lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Rev likes peace

Rev has become night person haha

[steady jolt]

Yep, after 10pm it's my time. 10 til 3 I can do whatever

[obsidian wyvern]

only problem is that it basically tanked my performance during the day lol, not by a lot but it was still noticeable ig

[raw yarrow]

Survive off 5 hours sleep
Become ungovernable

[pulsar cobalt]

Here me out they should let people change the helmet on the CE mark V kit

and the Mark VI kit

[cyan gate]

I saw somebody using the CE helment on another body kit other way around? I don't know

[raw yarrow]

It’s not out yet

[cyan gate]

Oh-

well 🐱

[raw yarrow]

MkV Zeta is out, but that’s MkVII
Same with MkV from MkV(B)

[cyan gate]

[pulsar cobalt]

Well not anymore mark v zeta is on all cores 😄

No such thing as rak helmets or spi helmets anymore

[raw yarrow]

Technically, they still are due to their attachments

[cyan gate]

My brain is going numb from not sleeping and only playing Halo

[raw yarrow]

Cat ears only work for MkVII helmets for example

I hope to someday add Purrfect audio to ULLR

[pulsar cobalt]

i would use ULLR if it had a visor

[cyan gate]

Them adding lore to it just makes it canon

[pulsar cobalt]

and i would use cambion more if it had a clean visor and not the skull look

[raw yarrow]

Lack of visor is what makes it nice imo
Like GUNGNIR

[pulsar cobalt]

Maybe it could get a visor attachment

[placid needle]

Question: If there is a spartian chatter, why isn’t there an elite chatter?

[steady jolt]

[pulsar cobalt]

Nodinos wow 😂

[wild sleet]

I did it!!!!! I got a Killionare!!!!!!!

[obsidian wyvern]

WOO

im not part of the killionaire club yet

[wild sleet]

I'm so goddam jumpy I finally did it!!!

[obsidian wyvern]

i was 1 shot away from getting it at one point and ive never been more disapppointed in myself

[wild sleet]

I would like to thank thy Gravity Hammer for gracing me with thy moment

[bronze breach]

do i even have a killionare?

I cant remember

[wild sleet]

I've never been so happy in Halo in my life until now I'm just so happy right now my hands are shaking

[pulsar cobalt]

the grav hammer is crazy good now

[bronze breach]

oh look at that i do have killionare.

very likely from wasp camping

[wild sleet]

No more Halo tonight that's a good way to end it on that I feel like a child getting a Playstation for Christmas

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[bronze breach]

couldnt remember so had to look up

looked up my match history too

last match was 23/07/2023. rip

[pulsar cobalt]

oof

[hasty zinc]

do husky raid multikills count as real multikills?

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[hasty zinc]

sweet

[steady quarry]

i successfully got two of my non-halo friends to install infinite

[cedar turret]

How would they not be real?

[hasty zinc]

because it's like a goofy mode

idk

[wild sleet]

Are these Kneepads from the CEA Mark V UA/TYPE KLT look very close to the kneepads

[cedar turret]

I think that sentence is missing some stuff.

The only thing that doesn't 'count' is the bot playlist due to the lack of actual people.

[obsidian wyvern]

infection gives separate medals for multikills, i think thats what aegis was referring to

[wild sleet]

Yeah Infection's Killionare is called Divine retribution

[steady quarry]

infection is silly

[cedar turret]

Never figured out why Hell's Jerome was called that.

[wild sleet]

I don't mind Infection getting it's own unique medals, makes it more fun getting them

[sleek wigeon]

isn't it nice when the power weapon is a power weapon?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but now we have a nerfed rushdown hammer

[pulsar cobalt]

all the hammers are really good

[hasty zinc]

from Halopedia "The medal's name is likely a reference to Jerome Simpson, Bungie's Head of Security."

[upbeat fox]

That’s always fun

[obsidian wyvern]

thats pretty cool

[hasty zinc]

you know what's not cool?

how tired I am

[wild sleet]

What is sleep lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Aegisfate wants the mark VI kit so bad

[wild sleet]

I want the CE Mark V kit

[pulsar cobalt]

Same Spectral

imagine if it came with the Classic CE AR and sniper now that would off been epic

[wild sleet]

Needs the M6D Magnum weapon kit

Can't have CE without the Pocket Sniper

[pulsar cobalt]

True

[hasty zinc]

I do, but I know I'll never have it

[wild sleet]

I have 2,800 Credit's for Mark V & I will not be tempted by the Item Shop until it drops

[cyan gate]

Good luck

[pulsar cobalt]

Seeing so many people use rak now is nice

[hasty zinc]

rak city

[wild sleet]

Sundown Smile on Rakshasa definetly gives it a very gritty vibe

[hasty zinc]

I spend more time customizing my spartans than I do actually playing

[wind wharf]

Rak being used

The earth is healing

[wild sleet]

I've always like Rakshasa, just want more shoulders for it

[obsidian wyvern]

that guardrail shoulder pad is cool af

I hate how many good shoulder pads this game has tbh. once we get cross core with it, it's gonna be too hard to decide between them

[pulsar cobalt]

Same

Really hoping they gonna do double xp events for career rank so people that are casual have a chance

[wild sleet]

Honestly I put more effort into the cores I use than the ones I don't, I only use MArk VII, Mark V[B], Rakshasa & Yoroi

Not a fan of Eaglestrike, Chimera gives of Crysis vibes but don't like it & Mirage is just doing it's own thing

[onyx ingot]

I absolutely despise the fracture core series. Idk why, I think it’s because I think of all the other things they could have done with canonical cores.

My mark VII is my main, but I like mark v(b) and mirage. But mirage I associate with the headhunters halo story

[pliant hatch]

pleasing us with your Spartans is a full time job

[main flame]

is halo dead

[steady jolt]

yes, i ate it

very tasty

[main flame]

i bet

halo infinite should have a trading system

and a gacha system

so you can get stuff that others dont

and like theres a market system

and prices go up and down for items

343 take this into consideration

[near tree]

Gacha will save Halo

[wild sleet]

As someone who plays Genshin Impact on the side, I'm good chief

[upper patio]

Rak ugly

Oop. It didn’t show there was more unread

That’s embarrassing

[rigid egret]

Any1 here ever gotten a communication suspension from xl Microsoft?

[wild sleet]

Nope

[upper patio]

I did way back in the day, on halo 3

I’m no longer on Xbox so, don’t really have risk of comm suspension

[steady jolt]

Also nope, there's information about the enforcement systems here:
https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-online-safety/enforcement/xbox-enforcement-action-faq
https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-online-safety/enforcement/enforcement-strike-system-faq

[wild sleet]

Man these Challenger II Gloves for Mark V [B] got some serious clipping issues

Just holding the sidekick & my wrist is sticking out the arm

[wind wharf]

Theres a few geometry issues with some of the cores

[steady jolt]

Worth submitting a ticket for

[calm fiber]

Please refer to the Halo Support site for additional information and/or to submit a ticket concerning any issues you may be experiencing.

https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[wind wharf]

Never really thought of doing that. Thanks! Theres deformation on the reakshasa thats been bugging me

[hasty zinc]

the back of the neck?

[wind wharf]

No the shoulder. Theres hard surface thats bending with the shoulder

[obsidian wyvern]

the back of the neck

[upper patio]

No clip drives me insane, in games. Like someone has to see stuff like that on dev teams

Most of the items with knives, will have no clip intersections with tons of helmets too or shoulders and chest pieces phasing each other

[wind wharf]

Its just clip. No clip is just that source mode

[upper patio]

Idk man, 3d modeling software calls it clipping, to make objects not intersect

[gaunt saddle]

Husky raid is literally just being spawn killed simulator

[upper patio]

Specifically 3d coat, and blender calls it clipping, and no clip when clipping is off

[wind wharf]

Its just called clipping

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[upper patio]

So if you don’t have clipping turned on. That’s no clip

[pulsar heron]

"no clip" specifically refers to physics clipping - the mode removes player collisions with static models; what's being talked about above is model clipping. clipping refers to any kind of intersection, and physics vs model clipping are two different scenarios

[wind wharf]

Ty

[pulsar heron]

tldr: it's accurate to say clipping for this, "noclip" primarily refers to "specific situation where the player ignores collision

[hasty zinc]

which is not to be confused with chip clip, which is a device that helps keeps bags of chips closed so they don't go stale

[upper patio]

What

[wind wharf]

Oh thanks for clarifying :)

[hasty zinc]

glad to help

[upper patio]

1v1 or you’re wrong

[upper patio]

I’m okay with being both confident and wrong if I can learn. So kudos. I just call it no clip since that’s what I know for modeling and I didn’t consider the difference in physics and modeling instances, thanks!

I’ll reevaluate my wording from now on lol

[obsidian wyvern]

aegis best icky in a 1v1, who beat Dex in a 1v1. aegis is a tough opponent

[upper patio]

Uh so on s different note, halo infinite does this weird thing where the intro video changes my screen resolution to be blurry, and I’ve got to unplug my dp, from my monitor and plug it back in to fix it. It’s the only game that does this. Has anybody encountered this? If not I’ll probs submit a ticket to figure this one out

[obsidian wyvern]

-we don't have 1v1s streamed in this server anymore, that's when this server was at its best

[upper patio]

I’ll stream my 1v1 with aegis on twitch for you, if they accept

😤

[obsidian wyvern]

Nah these 1v1s were reserved for people with horrendous takes

[upper patio]

Damn

What’s a horrendous take I can pretend to have in order for this to happen

I need ideas, rev

[obsidian wyvern]

advocate for playable elites

[upper patio]

that's actually a good take tho wym

[obsidian wyvern]

we got one

[upper patio]

:(

[main flame]

i play genshin too and i still think it would be good to have gacha on halo

at least infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

keep to your cave man

[upper patio]

it's just the variety that would be nice. I know there's semantic stuff regarding hitboxes and such that wouldn't be great for the game

[steady jolt]

"So, you want to be an Elite..."

[mighty estuary]

Cave goblin

[near tree]

Yo, I figured out my issue wasn't with my internet, but with my GPU. The short story is I can play Halo again

I haven't tried prism yet, but forbidden is an absolute blast

[upper patio]

Forbidden big

[rigid egret]

How long was your suspension?

[upper patio]

I think I only got one week. I was toxic when I was a kid, playing h3

[rigid egret]

Lol

[upper patio]

Wasn’t too bad though

[rigid egret]

I thought it was spam when I got the email.

I get hate messages all the time when I play infinite. The one time I decide to respond I get suspended lol

[upper patio]

My favorite type is the people pretending to work for Microsoft

[rigid egret]

I was too, pretty sure I smashed a controller once while playing lol

[hasty zinc]

I never understood smashing controllers

they're not cheap

(unless you buy from tik tok )

[candid solar]

Can't imagine Gamers do either, they just do

[queen remnant]

No thanks

And I played regulary genshin and play Star Rail and still no thanks

[hasty zinc]

yeah that's up there for one of the worst ideas

might as well make Halo link your bank card and just take out money from your account randomly every few days

[queen remnant]

People already complains about the prices of the store, imagine a gacha there too

[fickle drift]

Did it turn out to be fake? or broken?

[hasty zinc]

100% real and brand new

[near tree]

I wouldn't say the one of the worst ideas. It was okay in H5
Just a bad idea

Besides, there's still people who want to take off sbmm, so there's that

[hasty zinc]

yeah but it's up there

[near tree]

That's epic

Maybe Imma have to downlaod tik tok just for the xbox controllers

[hasty zinc]

$20 shipped. Can't beat that deal

that's some PDP controller level pricing

[round laurel]

It's entirely possible I'm misunderstanding what a gacha game is, but how would this work with Halo? I could only imagine gacha mechanics working if we brought Warzone back. You either pay for possible gameplay items, or you grind with your time.

[bronze breach]

spends two hrs making a vba macro for my future job, only to realize im reinventing the wheel and deleted it... fun times

[main flame]

no i mena like you get in game currency by doing challenges, acheivements, wins, unlockables, etc, then you get the currency, then when you get enough currency you spin wheel or smth similar and depending on what you get you can use it wear it, trade it whatever you want

or you could just buy the ingame currency to spend on the wheel.

[round laurel]

So instead of a store, you get an item randomly after exchanging credits?

[main flame]

yea smth like that

[round laurel]

That seems less consumer friendly

[steady jolt]

That would absolutely not go down well with the majority of the community, I can guarantee you

[main flame]

no but the currency would be pretty easy to obtain

[hasty zinc]

every day you'd see posts "omg I spun the wheel 40 times and all I got was emblems!!!"

[main flame]

like if you win a game you get like 50 of the in game currecy and you neeed like 500 currency

[bronze breach]

basically lootbox?

[amber mirage]

Trading is also almost never good. Creates really bad user economies.

[main flame]

to spin the wheel

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/9u7a.gif

[bronze breach]

imagine campaign lootbox... buy a lootbox and you open it and get the end cutscene of the campaign...

[main flame]

idk it was just an idea

[queen remnant]

So basically gambling

[main flame]

yes exactly that

[rare cedar]

I woke up to my fire alarm beeping, saying it’s low battery 🪫 This sound is one of my most hated sounds ever.

Idk how people live with this on a daily basis

[amber mirage]

What are your other most hated sounds?

[normal owl]

That just happened to me too last week.

[rare cedar]

People clipping their nails at work

[hasty zinc]

the amount of people that call in that have their smoke detector beeping is insane

[normal owl]

People's music coming through their mic in multiplayer lobbies.

[hasty zinc]

there was one that it beeped and then screamed LOW BATTERY

[normal owl]

Years ago I heard a car alarm go off that loudly said "Help, I've been tampered with. Help, I've been tampered with."

[hasty zinc]

that same person had a thing on their PC that when the time changed it would audibly announce the time. It was the worst call I've ever had

[normal owl]

Literally guffawed

[amber mirage]

Like every minute?

[hasty zinc]

on the hour

[amber mirage]

Still bad, but better than every minute.

[hasty zinc]

because all of it happened in a row

[normal owl]

Now that armor customization is off the chain, I really wish we had a Halo Infinite Customization app so I could keep tinkering with my wardrobe on the go.

[fickle drift]

I had to replace all the batteries upstairs recently. It was driving me insane as I couldn't figure out why they still beeped but I guess it was end of life for the model itself so I had to put in all brand new units that are guaranteed for 10 years, but the beeping... ohhhhhhh god. It isn't as bad to my ears as someone shaking a popcorn bag/fiddling with candy bags at the movies or the sound of someone eating sloppily tho. I see red on that.

[rare cedar]

I try to be considerate at the movies while eating candy/popcorn

But there are some folks who dgaf

[hasty zinc]

I once took a box of poptarts into the theatre

like the big box

[fickle drift]

Oh if they also shake with drink and the ice....grrrrrr

[steady jolt]

I've gotten like a McDonald's or a BK and had my lunch in the cinema a few times

Quietly though, I hate making noise

[fickle drift]

I've ate chiptole at the movies. I usually get there early tho so I am not bothering anyone. Sometimes I could even be in nearly empty theaters so its fine, but the people who shake their bags and make noise constantly....blah. I find it worse than people who are whispering. Full on talkers should just be tossed out. Along with those who use their phone.

[slow comet]

Where can i post my halo memes?

[bronze breach]

😐

[hasty zinc]

reddit on Saturdays

[bronze breach]

or post it to aegis house.

ooh and it could have flood and marines!

Is this not what marathon technically is lol

I know it really isn’t but bungie put some cryptic stuff in there

[pulsar cobalt]

i want a halo diablo type game

Imagine being able to play as any race in it

blizzard should 100% make a halo diablo type game haha

[obsidian wyvern]

let's keep blizzard far away from halo

[rare cedar]

“theatre”

I knew you were a Brit

[obsidian wyvern]

that's unfortunate

[hasty zinc]

idk why I spell it like that tbh

[upper patio]

Top down halo is meh

[pulsar cobalt]

Aegisfate is british but moved to the usa confirmed

[rare cedar]

[upper patio]

We already know it’s meh cause we had Spartan assault

[hasty zinc]

I use both spellings

but what I don't do is throw random u's in words

that's just psychotic

[pulsar cobalt]

Armour

Colour haha

[rare cedar]

[hasty zinc]

armour colour called olde harbour

[rare cedar]

🤢

[pulsar cobalt]

How it should be spelt haha

[rare cedar]

At least you’re holding onto that, unlike all the colonies you claimed

[upper patio]

Damn

Verbally assaulted

[hasty zinc]

zug trying to think of a comeback now

[pulsar cobalt]

Yes haha

[upper patio]

At least he didn’t mention how beans on toast isn’t actually cuisine

[pulsar cobalt]

Still haven't got extraction yet

[fickle drift]

@calm fiber good morning. What can you tell us about Halo’s development on unreal engine?

[upper patio]

I did once and it’s just king of the hill with extra steps

[fickle drift]

Lol

[upper patio]

Extraction is okay. Respawn timers might be too high for having such a strict deadline on extractions

If your team dies once or twice, it’s a guaranteed point for the enemies. Respawn timers or extraction time could stand to be tweaked just ever so slightly

[steady jolt]

I drop the u, it's silly.

[feral yew]

Does anyone know the deadline for the Halloween Candy spotlight thing?

[crystal bronze]

Halo needs to add a Animated weapon coatings and armor should be able inspect your weapons like in cod also ai such as cortana , rollin and others should be the next ai

Halo should also add back the female physique back

From like halo 5 and reach

Assassnations should definitely come back

[hasty zinc]

I miss the Rollin AI

[steady jolt]

I miss the Roland AI

[pulsar cobalt]

Elites first

[hasty zinc]

Roland mid compared to Rollin

[candid solar]

It is unspeakably frustrating to not be as snarky about this as usual in this chat

[graceful mountain]

finally got my first win of the day... after losing nearly every game all morning

[candid solar]

Either way, moving away from the dark times of 2010-2016 Halo body types is a move I'm still happy with.

[hasty zinc]

$140 for the backpack

surprisingly cheap for them

[elfin glacier]

predatory mkultra fomo

[wary dove]

Is firefight coming out the day the first operation is

[bold sparrow]

No word but I doubt it.

[wary dove]

Would you say it comes earlier or later

[bold sparrow]

My moneys on it being the second operation

[calm fiber]

Firefight: King of the Hill is scheduled to come later in Season 5, per the release trailer and announcement

[wary dove]

That’s all the way in December

[bold sparrow]

Better get grinding on that Hero rank then, shouldnt you?

Battlepass and Career Rank aint gonna unlock themselves

[wary dove]

Yeah I am on private gold but firefight was gonna be my main mode and I unlocked full battlepass already

[bold sparrow]

Then get back to BTB Heavies and grind more.

[wary dove]

The wait times are 5 min, I can only do husky raid.

[hasty zinc]

If I were a betting man, I'd say it'll be with the first operation. The name and artwork for that operation seems to imply it

[wary dove]

Thank you for your opinion I will take both of your information in with a grain of salt.

[hasty zinc]

as you should!

[dusty berry]

I feel like it'll come with the first op, but whichever is fine to me since we've got loads of other stuff for the meantime

[upper patio]

I think the first operation will be release date. It was mostly playable when they were showing it off and letting folks test it. I’m sure they needed time for balancing and any bug fixing necessary

[spring dust]

How come in rank I consistently top score and get the lesat amount of points towards mmr compared to rest of teamates (who are even higher level than I am?) For example I'll consistenly get 7 or 8 and they all get +10, +12 or +15

[hasty zinc]

yeah and this is the art for the operation

[upper patio]

Top fragging doesn’t net you more points, team play does

[spring dust]

I'm not saying top fragging I'm saying highest score so that means objective, frags, etc depending on the game type

[fickle mist]

who likes dogs 🐕

[swift gust]

Me

[supple viper]

I think playable elites may be coming with the first operation, not firefight. The name and cover art imply it. Firefight is more of a mid-season update thing, I'd say.

[hasty zinc]

def not playable elites

[graceful mountain]

Question did 343 fix the double xp if your in the middle of a game it still counts it if runs out?

[hasty zinc]

they've stated multiple times they aren't in development

it has always counted it if you start the match before it expires

[supple viper]

eh, you never know

[upper patio]

I am hoping they pull something out of nowhere and add a weapon or two, for firefight tbh

Odds are low, but not zero

[fickle drift]

Playable Grunts when? 👀

[grim apex]

We really need more weapons in this game, low-key getting tired of the ones we have atm

[pulsar cobalt]

Who knows maybe they said that so they can surprise drop them haha

[upper patio]

Would that be worth lowering community trust though? They wouldn’t be taken seriously in the future if they start lying for no reason

[hasty zinc]

if they drop playable elites during the first operation I will take a bite of my halo soap and upload the video here

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[grim apex]

343 please do this because it would be so funny

[fickle drift]

please halo reach 2...

[supple viper]

i will eat my needler model needles first if they drop them

[fickle drift]

What would that even be? 😂

[hasty zinc]

they made a Halo Reach 2 book. Halo Glasslands

[upper patio]

Make it from the covenants perspective of winning, and claiming reach

[hasty zinc]

there's almost a 0% chance of playable elites in the first operation

[fickle drift]

im from french so Xd but Halo reach back Im happy The goat halo reach 2

[hasty zinc]

Reach 2 you play as a corpse disposal UNSC employee

Someone just stole 106 dollars off of me

[steady jolt]

Report to the police ?

[torn plover]

I have to file a claim

They used my credit card info and spent 106 bucks on Home Depot 💀

[hasty zinc]

been there

[torn plover]

Imagine stealing credit card info….

[hasty zinc]

same place too

[torn plover]

How did it happen?

[hasty zinc]

not sure

this was like 15 years ago

[torn plover]

Ah

[obsidian wyvern]

i will quit infinite right then and there

[torn plover]

Did you like finding any information on the person that stole it ?

[hasty zinc]

don't worry, it's not happening

[cobalt schooner]

HI i have a question guys

[fickle drift]

What if they add playable Brutes?

[round laurel]

Go on...

[cobalt schooner]

what is the name of the stance in Halo infinite where at the start they just kinda do a small shrug with their hands

[hasty zinc]

it's not a stance, it's just a match intro animation

the stances are used at the end of matches

[cobalt schooner]

wait so the intro animations are random?

[hasty zinc]

yeah

[cobalt schooner]

that makes so much more sense

[steady jolt]

I'd love if they were customizable

[cobalt schooner]

also guys why does everyone hate halo 5 i kinda liked it

[supple viper]

you mean the campaign or multiplayer?

[steady jolt]

I love Halo 5, campaign and mp

[cobalt schooner]

campaign

[supple viper]

i personally didnt really enjoy the campaign, but the gameplay was very fun

the story, was objectively lacking though

[cobalt schooner]

i feel like it was a good bounce-back from the kind of randomness of the halo 4 campaign (not that i didnt like Halo 4)

[obsidian wyvern]

most people dislike the campaign because it wasn't gonna be what they thought itd be 😤

I'm sure if you didn't see all the hunt the truth ads like me, you would've liked it better

[cobalt schooner]

fair, it definitely wasnt like what you’d expect after halo 4, but u think making cortana out to be a villian was really cool, it almost makes me a little sad that they kinda retconned it with the infinite campaign

[neon halo]

Probably not lol

[cobalt schooner]

i didnt lol

[obsidian wyvern]

you not being directed at you specifically lol

[hasty zinc]

Halo 4 launch trailer came out 11 years ago today 😢

[cobalt schooner]

no ik but im saying like i fall into that category

[obsidian wyvern]

is that what u remember doing that day lol

[fickle drift]

starts rewatching Halo 3 announcement trailer
Ah the good ole days

[hasty zinc]

yep I watched that show just for the trailer

[neon halo]

Why Cortana bad? Who is Chief with? New Spartans? Who’s this new character? Why are they hunting chief?

Ad campaign or not doomed to fail

[obsidian wyvern]

I could answer all of that in my first playthrough with no knowledge outside the games

[amber iris]

[obsidian wyvern]

like cmon

[neon halo]

Stop trying that lol

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm being serious, and I was like 9

[neon halo]

Halo 4 to halo 5 gives zero context and you know it

[hasty zinc]

who is this big green guy and why he shoot aliens in Halo 5???!!!

[obsidian wyvern]

halo infinite gives you less context with its story but everyone likes to just bash on 5

[cobalt schooner]

cortana bad bc of her decaying, that was established i think since halo 3? chief being with ppl was definitely strange, new character was just some other spartan chosen to hunt him down, and they are hunting him bc he’s a valuable asset that seems to have started disobeying orders and has abandoned his post

[neon halo]

Aegis reaction when halo 2 comes out and chiefs armor is different

[neon halo]

Established yes but she literally died lol

[hasty zinc]

bungie changing the artstyle smh

[neon halo]

Oh yeah another one lol why is Cortana alive

[cobalt schooner]

i mean same thing with halo 5 to infinite tho, its WAY disconnected

[fickle drift]

Isn't the first cutscene Chief literally getting new armor in Halo 2? 😂

[neon halo]

Yep no argument there

[neon halo]

Yeah Lmaoo it was just jokes

[obsidian wyvern]

blue team said in that first cutscene that they were with him whilst he was training or smthn

[cobalt schooner]

hot take but i REALLY liked the halo 4/5 art style, i think him looking more “realistic”/ advanced was rly cool and i liked how the weapons and everything just looked more realistic in general

[hasty zinc]

not a hot take for me

[neon halo]

Infinite gets a good bashing as well, the comeback in art style and gameplay softens the blow.

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm not saying what they did with cortana was a good idea.. but she says why she's still there lol

[cobalt schooner]

like ik a lot of ppl has nostalgia for the halo 2/3 art styles but i really liked the halo 4/5 look bc it looked how youd expect high tier advanced scientific armor to look like in the 2500s

and halo changed its art to be “more advanced” between halo ce and halo 2 so idk

[neon halo]

Somehow, palpatine has returned..

[obsidian wyvern]

not a good idea
lol

[cobalt schooner]

kinda different considering cortana is a program who is canonically able to be copied and palpatine is a person

[obsidian wyvern]

it was a clone wasn't it

[cobalt schooner]

the weapon is a canon copy of cortana who they explicitly say only lacks her memories bc they wiped them from her

[neon halo]

Star Wars lore

[cobalt schooner]

or do u mean palpatine

[obsidian wyvern]

Palpatine lol

[bold zodiac]

palp was a clone

he'd been trying to perfect it for decades

[obsidian wyvern]

probably gonna be linked with whatever happened in mando s2

[fickle drift]

We need a Keyes clone now 👀

[obsidian wyvern]

no s3

[cobalt schooner]

also guys be fr how difficult is it to become onyx level in Infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

some people can pick up the game and get it pretty quickly

depends how much you play games in general ig

[cobalt schooner]

ive been playing 2 days now and im gold 2 in arenas

[muted rose]

Not actually a hot take when you consider the context behind it imo

[obsidian wyvern]

it's gonna be quite hard tbh

[cobalt schooner]

should i be playing arenas or slayer?

[bold zodiac]

im just coming back to reach after at least a year or so. is the multiplayer still active?

[hasty zinc]

pre or post CE? 😏

[cobalt schooner]

i also grew up on halo 4 initially so im definitely biased too

[obsidian wyvern]

arena you got ranked higher in general, I think it's because slayer has a bigger population

[muted rose]

Maybe, but art style isn’t really a big deal for me as long as gameplay is fun

Unless I can’t see anything because your art style is so bad

cough the duel cough

[cobalt schooner]

true, like i REALLY like the addition of the zipline and stuff in Infinite

it allowed for more difficult enemies bc we had more support systems

[muted rose]

Exactly

[cobalt schooner]

someone said a swear word smh

[muted rose]

Hunters genuinely felt like a threat in infinite

[neon halo]

They were beasts in 5 too

[cobalt schooner]

i saw it for a split second lmao

[graceful mountain]

need 5,577 games for Hero.. and needign to get 2,500 points agame... ooy..

[fickle drift]

I believe in you!

[graceful mountain]

Kinda hard to get 2.5k right now in husky raid with everyone just speedrunning scores

and theres no more 1.8k boost

[dreamy stirrup]

and if they weren't going for the objective you'd complain then too lol

"omg they're just stat padding!"

[graceful mountain]

You can just mute me sam

[hasty zinc]

I help my team score in husky raid by spawn killing the enemies

it's a legit strat

[neon halo]

Bro thinks this is bo2 nuketown

[graceful mountain]

with the new gravity hammer bug were it just does the normal melee trying to spawn kill becomes hard lol

which btw I have reported and seen others talk about it

[neon halo]

Hammer kills if you’re in eyesight

Op

[graceful mountain]

the new bug is if your right on top of someone and RT it does the B melee

[hasty zinc]

I had that happen to me too

at 35 seconds

[bronze breach]

ok i give in.... time to finally play infinite...

[fickle drift]

Well I guess I tested twice negative last Friday and today.....ehhhhhhhh

[neon halo]

Mk5 inbound

[fickle drift]

Still have a cough

[lone turtle]

anyone having issues with slow loading screens? can't even play because of that!!!!

[bronze breach]

yes

[hasty zinc]

#halo-support-news message

assuming you're on PC with an nvidia card

[lone turtle]

yes

[fickle drift]

Anyway afternoon guys

[lone turtle]

some said on reddit that is because of drivers

[dreamy stirrup]

like the link in the section linked by the mod?

😛

[bronze breach]

is it? im on 456.71 and its still slow. never been slow like that before the update tbh

reason why i dont update, pc simply refuses to install driver after ddu, so i stopped risking updating it

[lone turtle]

its's been a week i can't play

[hasty zinc]

if only there was a post

that explained your issue

and told you how to fix it

oh well, one can dream

[lone turtle]

yes i saw

[pulsar cobalt]

Hopefully your gonna enjoy yourself morb

[lone turtle]

[bronze breach]

rollback to driver 537.58?

[hasty zinc]

did you see that on reddit?

[bronze breach]

@pulsar cobalt avoiding btb, just cant put the effort to play that mode rn. so for once going to play other modes

[neon halo]

You put effort in btb?

[pulsar cobalt]

I haven't touched btb that much this season

[bronze breach]

no my next door neighbour 3 streets away told me.

[fickle drift]

hello spartans, what did I miss?

[neon halo]

I thought of all modes that one is the chill mode

[pulsar cobalt]

sad they didn't add a btb map but i guess they are more work to make

hopefully we get one in season 6

[bronze breach]

btb is just stress, so im avoiding that and playing something else lol

the stress to maintain positive kd lol

[hasty zinc]

what a good neighbor. Make them a casserole or something

[fickle drift]

btb in Infinite is like a CSGO/CS2 match, every time you attempt to succeed in defeating the enemy team some overpowered player (or players) exterminates and dominates your entire team.

Thats why I prefer 4v4.

[obsidian wyvern]

were there

[hasty zinc]

yes

[obsidian wyvern]

we're there btb maps in the halo 3 MTN dew thing

for infinite

[bronze breach]

full on robo spartan... https://i.imgur.com/ffH0Iw7.jpg

I have ascended to Spartan Drone.

[obsidian wyvern]

have u not seen the RoboCop helmet

[bronze breach]

the next generation of Spartan Bots.

yeah i did. but wanted to go for one with no visor at all lol

[obsidian wyvern]

and use the red helmet effect to top it off

critical dewpoint looks like a foundry map

[hasty zinc]

it doesn't line up

[obsidian wyvern]

damn

[neon halo]

Insane only one good map is on here

[obsidian wyvern]

I count at least 2

actually idk about narrows

[fickle drift]

Guardian, Blackout, the Pit, Isolation

I like those ones

[obsidian wyvern]

blackout debatable
isolation is BAD
the pit we already have and it's not great for slayer

[fickle drift]

Critical Dewpoint gives me serious 2000s game vibes for some reason

idc what anyone says, I like the pit

wait

[neon halo]

Isn’t the pit popular lol

[fickle drift]

wrong thing, i meant isolation

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but spawn trapping on the pit is far too easy

[fickle drift]

idk what happened there

[neon halo]

I’m a halo 2 map propagandist I must slander every map that isn’t on halo 2

[fickle drift]

I just realized: imagine if The Combine from Half-Life decided to show up in the Halo universe

[obsidian wyvern]

they wouldn't last very long

[fickle drift]

which side?

[obsidian wyvern]

the combine

[muted rose]

insert complaint about the pit here

[fickle drift]

well tbf in HL lore they invaded almost every universe so they'd have the Halo universe surrounded

[obsidian wyvern]

the grunts could take them on

[fickle drift]

true

Bipbap the Vanquisher solos Goku

[obsidian wyvern]

I still need to look at whatever piece of media talked about the grunt rebellion

[hasty zinc]

if it lined up I would have purchased

[obsidian wyvern]

one job 343 😩

(I'm not serious, not entirely anyway)

[fickle drift]

imagine one Combine Soldier squad vs One Brute, the Squad wouldn't stand a chance

[hasty zinc]

yeah I'm not mad or anything, can't make em all line up. Esp when the effect was released before the helmet

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe if you use it on a core which places the helmet lower, like the spi core

[hasty zinc]

hmm

I think it's just helmet related positioning

but I'll try

[obsidian wyvern]

that's rakshasa you've got it on right

[hasty zinc]

yea

[obsidian wyvern]

actually I just clocked what you meant, that makes sense

[fickle drift]

This image reminds me of the Valve Index for some reason

[neon halo]

Imagine a helmet no visor doom Eternal style

[obsidian wyvern]

locus

[hasty zinc]

it's the same

[fickle drift]

what the scallop

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah what u said before made sense, see where I went wrong

[fickle drift]

how did you get that coating?

[obsidian wyvern]

been sitting in this care for 20 mins waiting for my brother to come out with his happy meal 😔

[neon halo]

Just choose that color

[warm fiber]

Looks like Samus

[fickle drift]

yeah
