general-chat

[void magnet]

4’s is among my least favorite. At the time I wasn’t too annoyed by it since it was 343i’s first game, but the amount of people who say “4 sucked besides the Cortana Chief aspect” made me retroactively hate it more lol

[quartz ridge]

Tell me what you learned about chief and Cortana in the first 3 games

[void magnet]

I do think it was 343i’s best story though for sure (besides Spartan Assault)

[devout zephyr]

is there supposed to be little little jackals in spartan ops?

[pallid island]

Tbh 343 neither does a good job in telling their story that much

[void magnet]

SPARTANS NEVER DIE

[pallid island]

Yea, but you do that along with forgettable spartans

If they pushed in their personality more like they did with ODST characters.........

[quartz ridge]

That doesn’t answer the question

[pallid island]

odst characters are memorable lol

[void magnet]

Noble Team was great I loved them

[pallid island]

even the rookie which he doesnt talk, is more memorable than any character from noble team

sad he got shot in a book,but isnt canon so who cares

[void magnet]

Rookie is great too

[devout zephyr]

is there supposed to be spider convies

[quartz ridge]

What did you know about them

[pallid island]

They had personality

That makes them instantly better

[quartz ridge]

So did every other character

[pallid island]

Reach didnt stick the same

[quartz ridge]

How so?

[lavish flint]

Brian Reed isn’t big on giving characters personalities

[pallid island]

They died pretty quickly

[quartz ridge]

They still had personalities

[pallid island]

They were generic ones tbh

[quartz ridge]

The argument can be said about ODST

[pallid island]

Nah odst does it good, Reach copies ODST homework and modifies it in their own way

[lavish flint]

Yeah the word “generic” is incredibly subjective.

[quartz ridge]

No it doesn’t. The moment they come together, the game ends

[lavish flint]

Oh rookie doesn’t count

[quartz ridge]

He doesn’t talk

343 at the beginning at least gave their characters some substance

[pliant hatch]

he grunts in the beginning.

[quartz ridge]

Took bungie 3 games to tell us chiefs first name

[lavish flint]

The Master Chief wasn’t the main character. He was the vehicle character.

[quartz ridge]

Plot device

[lavish flint]

343i decided to make it a character drama about the guy with no face. It was a valiant effort, I guess, but I’d say it was ill advised.

[quartz ridge]

343 decided to align his character more with the books

[lavish flint]

Because, yeah, the Master Chief wasn’t really a character.

[lavish flint]

Absolutely not close to true. You’d know that if you read them.

[quartz ridge]

Chief didn’t have a personality in the books?

[lavish flint]

I’m not sure where the heck that came from

[lavish flint]

He didn’t have that personality, no.

[quartz ridge]

Nobody saying that he did.

Bungie made chief without a personality, and 343 gave him one.

[lavish flint]

It’s like Halo 4 is all about the Master Chief learning to think for himself and grow, while the books show him doing nothing but that.

[quartz ridge]

Which is establishing a personality…

[void magnet]

People saying Chief had no personality in Bungie’s games never watched the cutscenes I think

[lavish flint]

343 gave him a different one from the books, though, so don’t claim they’re respecting the books.

[quartz ridge]

It’s like people don’t want to read. Alright man.

[lavish flint]

He had a personality. But he wasn’t the main character.

[lavish flint]

I read the books!

[quartz ridge]

Cool.

[pliant hatch]

goal shouldn't be that we have to read the books

[quartz ridge]

Nobody is saying that you have to.

The books provide more detail about the characters you interact with.

[lavish flint]

Jules was saying that 343 was bringing the Master Chief in line with the existing books, and I called him out for repeating a very common myth.

[quartz ridge]

Right. That’s exactly what I said.

[void magnet]

In the OT, he was actually pretty witty. I feel like he’s just mostly a depressed rock in 343i’s games

[lavish flint]

“343 decided to align his character more with the books”

[quartz ridge]

The context was personality. But continue to strawman.

I literally explained that right after.

[eager mango]

gn

[lavish flint]

He makes a joke once in Halo: Escalation, and then Hood says “wow, that was out of character” and I died inside

Like that was the first time MC sounded in-character and then they comment about it being out of character.

[lavish flint]

Your next comment was literally “Chief didn’t have a personality in the books?” which is like the epitome of a strawman and not an explanation at all.

And then I said:
“He didn’t have that personality, no.”
And then you said:
“Nobody saying that he did.”
(Even though you literally just said the opposite)

I must’ve missed the explanation part.

[quartz ridge]

Because you are asserting things that I didn’t say.

[lavish flint]

“343 decided to align his character more with the books”

You said that. There was no additional context.

[quartz ridge]

…

[void magnet]

Literally one of the first lines to Cortana is banter, it’s kinda depressing how machine-like he is now.

[lavish flint]

Yeah although the Master Chief was never much of a character, his personality really got zapped somewhere along the way

The people who claim he’s more like he was in the books have never read the books.

[void magnet]

I’m not disagreeing, I’m for the whole vessel character thing too, but it does bother me that people say he literally was a robot in Bungie’s games when he wasn’t. They did a fantastic job aligning his demeanor with what the player might feel as well

[lavish flint]

“Calm, quiet, and wryly cynical.”

[upper patio]

I hate ranked in infinite. I had a guy steal all my kills, and then get mad about me having 12 assists. Like bro what do you want me to do

And further he says “ you’re only in p1” and then I check dudes scoreboard and he’s also p1 but 13 points higher than me

[lavish flint]

steal his kills

[upper patio]

My problem is idc about kills. It’s the unsolicited messages. Assists and objective score are still contributing to the win so why does it matter so much to people

Someone could go negative on my team but if they have objective score and assists, idc too much

[pliant hatch]

well you're playing ranked which is the one playlist where the majority of people probly want to win the most.

[upper patio]

Homie was quite literally barely above me in rank and had the audacity

[upper patio]

Lone wolfing ain’t the best way to win imo

[vestal wolf]

Some people just kinda suck like that yeah, it's rough but what can ya do. Just remember they probably got the kills thanks to you and if they dont see that they wont last long at rank

[pliant hatch]

yes, but they will still have the same attitude.

[upper patio]

People amaze me tbh

[pliant hatch]

likely will be worse cause they'll have more things to blame for losing.

[upper patio]

It’s their own fault

I mean we won still but holy hell are people actually insane. It’s just a game

People put too much pride into it. Unless you’re making top dollar to play, the best course of action is to calm down

[pliant hatch]

it's easier to blame other people lol, but yes, people can get pretty toxic.

[upper patio]

At least it’s not like 360 game chat in h3

Things were always crazy there lol

[rare cedar]

it was the wild wild west back then

[pliant hatch]

I got something similar in a social game which is probly worse. I looked at the stats and three of the people on the other team were all high onyxes. It's like, blame the match maker not me.

[rare cedar]

I'm always gunna blame LP 😤

[upper patio]

Imma start blaming you panda, even when you aren’t around

[rare cedar]

[upper patio]

If I die in game even once. Or someone’s grenade does even a smidge of damage

It’ll def be your fault

[rare cedar]

I'll accept that

[pliant hatch]

[upper patio]

If I stub my toe irl

[fickle drift]

Where can I see store updates?

[rare cedar]

https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1098000122023006331

We try to update it daily

[fickle drift]

Thanks!

I just want to know when the HCE master chief armor will hit the store

[rare cedar]

Later in the season 🙂

[lavish flint]

November 7th!

[fickle drift]

I’m sure 343 will be posting it all over their social media platforms but good to be able to see store updates here too

Thanks all!

[rare cedar]

They'll most def post it on socials

[fickle drift]

Halo 3 armor core would be sweet… just saying

[rare cedar]

🙂

[zealous sonnet]

That's why I stick with BTB
Much more fun and casual

[fickle drift]

@rare cedar oh yeah it’s coming lol

[rare cedar]

Just a reminder to not discuss leaks or datamined content here, whether real or fake.

But I have a feeling it's coming too!

[fickle drift]

I don’t know if it’s a leak. I’m just saying it would make sense for that armor core to make it to the store… I mean you know… H3 bro

[rare cedar]

H3 king

[fickle drift]

H3 is legendary. But Halo infinite gameplay is the best. And the content in it right now… idk man.

[rare cedar]

Content is great

[fickle drift]

Yup

Thanks again for the store info

[rare cedar]

[ashen rampart]

I have been trying to create a custom map that goes with the elimination game mode but every time I try to test my map, enemies and teammates are still able to be revived via the ai orb. This setting has been disabled every time i try to run my map. Does anyone know any workarounds? I really like the 1-life last spartan standing type modes but it's frustrating when the settings to customize it do not even work. I tried to create a system like this with scripting, but it just leads to a black screen when the round ends -- another bug i would assume.

[bitter birch]

first time doing ranked, and the the ranked rotational playlist but does it reset on tuesdays? Im seeing it as this is my rank for ranked slayer only and it will reset when it switches playlists

[fierce mango]

It only resets by season ranked slayer and ranked arena are separate playlists

[upper patio]

Bro if it reset weekly I’d never get diamonds

It takes me like two weeks to go from p1 to p3

😭

[broken mantle]

What rank comes after gold

[lavish flint]

Platinum.

[broken mantle]

Cool so close

[pallid island]

Why do elite players want playable elites so badly in infinite? it would throw off the balance completly even for casual games

[broken mantle]

They look cool

[pallid island]

Even if infinite has alot of content and doesnt have many bugs in the future years do you still guys think that playable elites will be coming? lol

[broken mantle]

No

[pallid island]

I just say that to the elite player fanbase tbh just they gotta keep coping and gonna have to read those books

[lavish flint]

muh chonky dinos ب_ب

[broken mantle]

Say what

[pallid island]

Stupid dinos glad 343 doesnt give them attention

[soft thicket]

Hi, who here plays blox fruits?

[pallid island]

No one plays roblox here kiddo

[supple viper]

why? the dinos look cool

[upper patio]

How exactly do you suppose it would throw off balance? The health pool could be exactly the same, but with a different hud. Player controlled elites could have the same movement stats as well, but different animations and slightly different animation timings

Other than the hitbox argument, it really wouldn’t throw balance off. People aren’t asking to play as campaign elites that have tremendously more health . They’re asking for character models when they talk about it

[fallen wharf]

Nobody wants to read books to understand the lore tho fr unless your a massive fan but still unlikely

[upper patio]

There’s a 2 foot difference between Spartans an elites. It could easily be leveled out, for playable elites and written off as a “shorter” race of elites

If I remember correctly, the downside in halo 3 was being larger and taking more damage, the upside was being faster than Spartans and having better shielding. These are things that can be normalized while still making elites feel like elites

[fickle drift]

Am I the only one who wishes we could go back to br starts in ranked?

Imo bandit is still inconsistent, slapping a scope didn’t fix it and now it’s the start for arena

[pure pike]

I'm enjoying the change, I find it more consistent than the BR though getting team shot can be pretty lethal

[safe hemlock]

Does anyone know of a place I can get pings for twitch drops? I'm sad I missed out on the odst emblem

[plain lagoon]

I do not miss BR starts

[pure pike]

Yeah I'm not hankering for BR starts either, they can stay as a pickup in ranked

1v1s are much more fun now imo

[plain lagoon]

Engagements have good mechanical depth to them

[pure pike]

I've definitely windmilled a few times under pressure

[plain lagoon]

I don’t feel like strafing is pointless anymore

And when I jump it actually helps

Instead of just getting me killed

[pure pike]

Definitely, I've noticed reversals are more common now

Even if the other guy gets the first shot, you can still out-dance your opponent and win

[fierce mango]

The bandit evo is pretty interesting to use since I do think the BR feels a bit easier with aim

[fickle drift]

Maybe it’s just a skill issue but ever since the bandit came to infinite I never liked it, its pacing is slow for a precision weapon compared to the br and even the sidekick, but the problem is the shot consistency; it feels like every time I crack shields I’m having to put 2/3 extra shots in the head to get a body kill because this gun refuses to do headshots

Like just now I finished a ranked game and the last shot aimed directly at the top of their head counted as a body shot

Like I genuinely find myself swapping it out for the commando of all guns

[pallid island]

People hate fernando esparza? Why? He is such a cool character lol

I didnt play infinite yet but have seen the cutscenes and my god he is just like me i feel identified

[tardy onyx]

Brohammer seems kinda whiney until you realize this guy was literally a civillian pilot

Dude was forced to help the hero of mankind stop a literal army of monsters

[mighty estuary]

Yes, we all played the game and listened to the characters talk about their character traits. Very subtle.

[wild sleet]

Playing Halo with 2 of my mates & my mate goes “Let’s play Team Snipers”, we got hardcore terminated 🤣

[upper patio]

FR

i miss the BR so much

[obsidian wyvern]

hes annoying

[upper patio]

hey. for some reason game bar isn't letting me report a player with clear cheating going on. Anywhere for me to send a report after I get the clips from the match replay?

[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

[upper patio]

Thanks bot

[royal pollen]

OMG since season 5 release the game infected with overwhelming amount of cheaters in tactical slayer. just watched my friends stream of a 30+ K/D perfection cheater

[obsidian wyvern]

doubt theyre cheating

i could bet money most of them arent cheating

[royal pollen]

They are usaully a alt account with under 200 acheivment score with a accuracy of 80%+ on statistics. you seem like cheating can't ever exist in Halo infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

i didnt say that

and smurfing is a thing yk

[royal pollen]

Game account exploitation is a form of cheating the MMR

[steady jolt]

You can report them - see the details here on how to do that

[calm fiber]

https://aka.ms/HaloSafety

[obsidian wyvern]

fair, ig smurfing does go under cheating, but i meant like aimbot/walls

[tardy onyx]

Hey, quick question: i'm trying to build an elevator in forge and the object i'm using as a base keeps rotating on its yaw and pitch. How do i stop this?

[upper patio]

I sent in definitive proof of one for a report. Bro had 100% accuracy the entire match and visibly snapped to targets. Sometimes it’s blatant

[marble needle]

the games trending, have they fixed the optimization for amd cards?

[inland marsh]

cant seem to purchase credits in infinite??

[steady jolt]

What happens when you try?

[inland marsh]

i click to buy 1000 credits and nothing happens. im on steam PC

i used to get the pop-up for the steam wallet on prior seasons but now it's nothing

[fickle drift]

Have you tried purchasing on the steam site instead of in-game

[steady jolt]

Try what Nova said, but I would definitely file a support ticket about the wallet not coming up on Steam

[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

[inland marsh]

i can try that yeah

seems the button ingame just doesnt sen you to the steam page

[lilac sphinx]

Putting bandit starts on ranked has to be the worst thing they could’ve did

[upper patio]

Fr

I’ve consistently had the worst games of my halo career, this season already

Thankfully still qualified into platinum ranked but bandit evo ain’t it

[lilac sphinx]

I’d be rolling kids into backwoods if we had Br rn

[supple viper]

the evo feels weird, im used to the range of the br

[granite gulch]

It feels great

[lilac sphinx]

Feels terrible

[last anchor]

Yup

[granite gulch]

You just have to adapt

Get better unfortunately

[slow holly]

Yo

[last anchor]

Yo

[upper patio]

I’d already be back to diamond if we had br’s

[sinful karma]

Hello.

[upper patio]

I think aside from having a higher level of aim assist, br just felt better

[inland marsh]

welp. added money to my steam wallet and cant purchase credits... (edit) I think i fixed it

[obsidian wyvern]

rip

[vapid siren]

Think I got my stuff sorted again

[steady jolt]

Nice

[inland marsh]

turned out my steam overlay had been turned off lol

[steady jolt]

Oops 😅

Well, glad you managed to sort it

[upper patio]

At least it wasn’t confirming purchases in the background

Glad you got your creds buddy

[inland marsh]

thankfully 😅

[granite gulch]

You play on MKB?

[vapid siren]

had to move things over due to getting more books which meanst he pelican had to move too making the AA cannon gotta go elsewhere so the wasp had to move

[upper patio]

Yeah. Br had aim assist on mouse, much higher level than bandit evo does

[vapid siren]

cant wait to repeat the process next month

[upper patio]

Bandit still has it but it’s not as prominent

[granite gulch]

MKB is just more work in general, but idk relying on higher AA is not the way to play imo

Especially on mouse

[steady jolt]

Cat knocked my megablox Seraph off, so I need to fix that

Really need to get photos of my updated station

[upper patio]

All the guns have it lol. Br just had more of it

[granite gulch]

They may have it, shouldn't be impacting aim that much

[upper patio]

I agree generally though. I think bandit could use it to be tuned up s but

[granite gulch]

I'm much preferring having this amount of control

[obsidian wyvern]

you gonna paint that helmet you got from the halocollector?

[upper patio]

I prefer to only be sorta good but still have posterity lol

[vapid siren]

uh.... idk

my brother does 40k maybe he could do something with it

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[upper patio]

Damn, you gotta have patience and discipline for 40k

[obsidian wyvern]

would be cooler than white

[empty iris]

why is no one playing ranked slayer? do people not like the bandit or?

[upper patio]

Just the time of day

Folks going to school, and work

[empty iris]

ah guess I do life in an odd time zone

[upper patio]

You could try setting your matchmaking search to expanded

Idk if that’ll help at all but could work

[empty iris]

did not even know you can do that

thanks

[granite gulch]

Need to hop in and try it out, been only playing Arena

[empty iris]

for area I do can get matches, im just curious because back when I played regularly. An only slayer ranked playlist was our biggest prayer (fack oddball). And now that its here no one is playing it xD

[upper patio]

No joke I just got a match in like 10 seconds for ranked and the estimated wait is at 1:57. Maybe people are on??

[turbid stirrup]

it's estimated, Matchmaker probably has more filters before putting u in a match and probably u got lucky as well
I just tried searching in Team Slayer which has 1:20 wait, but my search got timedout (so my wait time > 10 min)

[pulsar cobalt]

Haven't seen you here for awhile rolli haha did you change your name ?

[turbid stirrup]

no I just wasn't here,
kinda lost interest here
just started lingering around here more because of Halo WC

[pulsar cobalt]

Ah right

[turbid stirrup]

I'll probably go back to other stuff, as WC is over and HCS next year is far away,

I got a ranked game in 10s search nice

[upper patio]

10 second gang

👁️👄👁️

[sage hare]

Viper is so funny. Like its meant to be a Rakshasa helmet but its honestly the core it works with the least.

[turbid stirrup]

proud to be part of the gang, hope it lasts indefinitely but with hopefully I get better ping

[twilit carbon]

Do I enter the cesspool that is halo clans again lol

[amber mirage]

I vote no

Unless you're a masochist. Then you might want to.

[charred mauve]

How tf do i get scripting to work when i cant find the object refrence

In what tab is object refrence does anyone know?

[charred mauve]

It can be fun i did it yesterday was a fun time untill the leader died and the clan disbanded lmao

[upper patio]

Only if you like role playing

[twilit carbon]

Scripting is a lot of work when you can just set up 8 turrets in a hallway

[twilit carbon]

In game or irl

[charred mauve]

Im trying to find object refrence ai spawner but i cant fing find it

[charred mauve]

In game

[hasty zinc]

lol

[charred mauve]

Y

If you dont like em are you even truely a halo fan???? Jk

[amber mirage]

Unless they rework them, a lot of them are just slightly different versions of weapons we already have.

[pulsar cobalt]

What we need is sticky det,trip mine,saw,smg, ce flamethrower,

[charred mauve]

The magnum has to return it was one of the og halo weapons

[amber mirage]

We already have weapons that do exactly what the Magnum does.

[pulsar cobalt]

I think my weapon list i put is what infinite needs

[charred mauve]

Halo 5 had alot of weapons that did the others job yet still had em

[vapid siren]

but what of a halo 3 rat shirt

[charred mauve]

And the magnum fully deserves to come back its a staple of halo

[vapid siren]

actually....

gear shop im taking commissions

[charred mauve]

What?

[obsidian wyvern]

honestly other than the backpack their merch has been pretty bad

recently*

[hasty zinc]

I'm still going back and forth about the backpack

[charred mauve]

Is the backpack worth it?

[obsidian wyvern]

it's pretty expensive for a backpack tbf

[hasty zinc]

There is nobody here that can answer that

We've only seen pictures

[charred mauve]

Friend of mine got the code for completing the season

But shes asleep so i cant ask her

[normal owl]

Exactly the image in my head.

[vapid siren]

i dig the patches but yeah the past couple shirts have been kinda bleh

we had a good streak goin imo but idk about some of the most current designs we got

[hasty zinc]

What are you trying to ask her?

[charred mauve]

If she thinks the backpack would be worth completing the battlepass for

[steady jolt]

Haloween tee though

https://gear.xbox.com/collections/homepage-features/products/halo-x-hlo-adult-short-sleeve-t-shirt

[vapid siren]

wait the patches only come for the bag?

I THOUGHT THEY WERE A WHOLLY SEPARATE THING NO

[hasty zinc]

It's a short battlepass, shouldn't be too bad. The backpack is $140

With additional patches being $10

[obsidian wyvern]

each?

[hasty zinc]

Yes

[vapid siren]

35L storage aint too bad tho

[amber mirage]

Prices too high

[charred mauve]

You gotta be kidding right?

[hasty zinc]

No

[vapid siren]

the LTT backpack ran me 250

(pretty damn worth it btw)

[hasty zinc]

https://gear.xbox.com/collections/halo/products/halo-gear-rewards-exclusive-tactical-carrier-backpack?variant=42571886166181

[charred mauve]

Dude wth

Thats not worth it at all like dude

[little coral]

I know this is semi off topic but do you guys think all the titanfall stuff will amount to anything or no?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah it's pretty stupid

[charred mauve]

No

[hearty flame]

It's $163,025.95 CAD apparently

[obsidian wyvern]

they can't have done everything just for a new apex legend, it doesn't make sense

[vapid siren]

140 for a fancy backpack that seems to be pretty well put together and hold a good amount of storage?

[normal owl]

"Stand by for rumorfall."

[vapid siren]

honestly? not that bad

i was expecting 200+

[obsidian wyvern]

wait you've played TF2?

[vapid siren]

140 its kind of a fair deal

[obsidian wyvern]

deal lol ok

[fickle drift]

It's a $40 backpack...

[steady jolt]

Yeah, I honestly expected more - custom designs push prices up

[vapid siren]

for what it is

the jacket was 125 remember

[steady jolt]

Plus with the limited buy in to this, they'll probably adjust to cover costs

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I'm not justifying the backpack with the jacket

[upper patio]

What backpack is 140. What are y’all taking about

[steady jolt]

Scroll up

[vapid siren]

the S5 one?

[upper patio]

I would like the backpack

[normal owl]

I played a few matches one night years ago bc I'd bought a copy for each of the 4 XB1 consoles in my basement Xbox arcade at the time. The group never played it. So that was money well spent.

[hearty flame]

I can't log in to Imgur right now, is there another hosting website I can use to show you guys that the backpack price is bugged in CAD?

[vapid siren]

its not bugged

[steady jolt]

Complete the Battle Pass, get a discount code

The price in USD is $117,343

[obsidian wyvern]

it was money well spent, your friend group just didn't understand 😩

[hearty flame]

Ah! I see

[vapid siren]

cmon weve been through this song and dance over a year now on these promo merch item prices guys

[steady jolt]

It's a meme price to have something on the store front

[normal owl]

Haha that's the positive way to think about it lol

[hearty flame]

Oh that's absolute hoser activities tbh

[upper patio]

Damn I was hoping it was some kind of special backpack. You can get the same thing on Amazon for 30 dollars, minus the unsc logos

[steady jolt]

Got a link?

[hearty flame]

Buy backpack, buy UNSC patches, iron patches on ,EZ

[upper patio]

Himal military backpack on Amazon is essentially the same

[normal owl]

Will there be writing on the patches?

Because I like to read the patch notes.

[charred mauve]

I hate you

That was such a bad joke

[fickle drift]

You can just type in Tactical Backpack and similar ones are listed for as low as $30

[normal owl]

[hearty flame]

Patch notes are some of my favourite parts of updates tbh...

Feels like Christmas morning every time I get to read them

[fickle drift]

But I get it, I sell shirts I pay $2 for $30...it's business.

[upper patio]

Santana so right, just type in military back pack or tactical back pack

[vapid siren]

oh boy i love backpacks that look like a dude just showed upt o class on a GI bill and decided to use his bug out bag for his laptop

punisher patch may or may not be applied

[upper patio]

I think the “himal” one is the closest to it

[vapid siren]

how many zips till it rips open

cheap tactical crap on amazon

[fickle drift]

You want higher end, oakley brand on wholesale is $50...

[upper patio]

The point was to get the 140 dollar halo backpack for cheap

[vapid siren]

there we got at least ik it wont instantly explode

[hearty flame]

The $140 backpack probably is cheaply made

If it's not tho that's really cool

[hasty zinc]

Its a good price for an official halo merch item

You're always gonna pay more for merch like that

[hearty flame]

Real

[normal owl]

I mean, "value" is subjective: we pay huge mark-ups for experiences or for limited editions. If this brings happiness because it's associated with a certain event in an enjoyable activity, why not?

[vapid siren]

i really just want the patches personally cause again i have the LTT bag which is really worth it and arguably better than this bag

[hasty zinc]

I'm going to get it now, just to spite everyone

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm sure they'd get so many more sales by selling it for like 40 less

[hearty flame]

Hawkner are you Canadian or just a tech nerd

[upper patio]

Dang now I gotta too

[normal owl]

at sticker price, not the discount price.

[vapid siren]

but at a glance it just seems like they took the LTT bag, threw MOLLE on it, and then just slapped screen prints

[vapid siren]

tech

[hearty flame]

Aw man

[steady jolt]

Yep, my price. I set this price

[fickle drift]

Of course. It's how I outdo competitors, drop slightly below market and you'll sell 10x the amount. Even a $1 cheaper motivates.

[normal owl]

That got the chuckle lol

[vapid siren]

fr tho it doesnt look that bad overall and again i reasoned itd be 200+

140 im lowkey compelled

[normal owl]

That works so well. Even though my brain knows exactly when a retailer is doing this...it still makes my shopping instincts start running around in circles.

[obsidian wyvern]

hawkner you're gonna make them increase the prices next time

[vapid siren]

good

[upper patio]

I don’t think it’s a 140 dollar backpack. The images say maybe 80

[hasty zinc]

Yeah I'm gonna get it. I forgot to buy the jacket and I didn't want pins, so this I will get

[near tree]

Awesome!
Do you set prices different for your friends/favorite discord members?
Completely hypothetical of course...

[upper patio]

Like it’s at the very least 80 bucks with the halo markup added to it

[vapid siren]

im still waiting on a bunch of my pins too lmao

i only got the shroud screen one

[steady jolt]

I'm still waiting for this 😭

[upper patio]

So hawkner, what’s your goal for that collection?

[hearty flame]

Why not just buy some Halo Iron Ons and a cheaper black tactical bag?

[vapid siren]

because that'd look horrid

[hearty flame]

How

[vapid siren]

and wear off in like 2 days

[upper patio]

343 will ban us from matchmaking if we undercut them

[obsidian wyvern]

basic economics 😤

[fickle drift]

It's made with just screenprinted halo logos...it even says as much in the description

[hearty flame]

Ohhhh

[smoky token]

is the british mailing system any good or is it terrible like most countries

[boreal bear]

why does it say theres only 21 days left in the season?

[upper patio]

Because there’s only 21 days

[obsidian wyvern]

it's actually good

[boreal bear]

it like, JUST started ???

[worthy abyss]

Depends who with

[steady jolt]

Yeah, we're not bad

[boreal bear]

we didnt even get our first event like what... how is it almost over?

[upper patio]

Operation tho

[worthy abyss]

If it's evri it's awful

[upper patio]

That timer is probably counting down to the operation, not end of season lol

[smoky token]

i got my shroud pin a couple months ago, wear it on my starbucks hat during work

[obsidian wyvern]

unless you choose like evri

[boreal bear]

oh true probably

[hearty flame]

The first event IS a "New BP"

[steady jolt]

Funily enough, I haven't had problems with evri since they switched names

[obsidian wyvern]

lol yeah

[steady jolt]

Though our driver also changed and she's awesome

[muted rose]

I want a blue team insignia pin

[boreal bear]

like the winter update pass?

[obsidian wyvern]

not really

you can go back to the winter pass whenever, operations you have to pay 2 to go back to

[smoky token]

I wonder if anyone has paid $117343 for one of those pins

[boreal bear]

aaah ok

[steady jolt]

I did a short write up on the Battle Pass and Operations here:
#halo-discussion message

[boreal bear]

but wait do i need to also pay for the pass to get stuff from it when it comes out or ??

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[boreal bear]

good, good

[summer ice]

Hellooooo

[hearty flame]

🎶Jeffery Bezos, Jeffery Bezos, Jeffer Bezos!🎵

[muted rose]

No, it should be free until the season ends(?)

[obsidian wyvern]

well there's an exclusive item per pass you have to pay 500 to if u want

[worthy abyss]

Thank god I didn't got my pc parts from evri ordered a new CPU recently

[hearty flame]

Order probably got denied though

[obsidian wyvern]

no, until the next event. which is around 4 to 6 weeks after

[muted rose]

Ah

[hearty flame]

I thought the one exclusive item was locked behind the $20 pass?

[boreal bear]

season 6 should go for rakshasa stuff, that core needs more love

[summer ice]

I do agree the core needs more love, one of my favorites

[hearty flame]

Cross-core helmets did WONDERS for that core, I'd like to see an expansion

Rakshasa feels like it's got as much love as the event cores like Tenrai and Eaglestrike

[muted rose]

I love how Cross core helmets on mirage just make your helmet squashed

[hearty flame]

GRD tho... So lovely

[amber mirage]

500 credits for the exclusive item in each Operation Pass. 2000 credits let's you get the exclusive item and unlock everything from the pass instantly.

[boreal bear]

true. the only real stinky aspect of the core is how moneitized it was. like the cooler armor is paid only. only 1 unique chest piece, since the other 2 are part of those spartan kits that belong to characters in the story

[summer ice]

True, someone I was in a match with put a Mark V helmet on the Rakshasa core and removed shoulder armor for a slim look at it was pretty nice.

[normal owl]

It did! First I did was throw Emile's helmet on Rakshasa in camo for that Death in the Jungle vibe.

[muted rose]

Like if you equip the default yoroi helmet you get this goofy toddler looking spartan

[obsidian wyvern]

but paying 500 gets you a bonus item

[hearty flame]

I saw someone post their ODST helm on that core for a marine RP. That was the moment I genuinely fell in love with it.

It was like that gif of Danny Devito in the theatre saying "I get it"

[muted rose]

Odst helmets go very well on rakshasa

Now if we had cross core shoulders…

[obsidian wyvern]

everyone sleeps on the odst helmet that originally came with rakshasa

[summer ice]

I admittedly haven't played around with the cross-core helmets too much

[muted rose]

They’re fun, but some helmets don’t belong on other cores imo

[hearty flame]

Now I have a core for all my favourite helmets. Mk V goes on Mk VII, Mk VI on Mk V, ODST on Rakshasa, etc.,.

[normal owl]

That's a good idea! ODST and Rakshasa would be a good fit aesthetically. Thank you, I'll try it.

[summer ice]

Although wait a minute I did put Mark VI on my Mark VII Spartan that was nice

[muted rose]

Like Kabuto on chimera is super goofy

[summer ice]

My favorite helmet in all of Halo is EOD so as you could imagine I had a smile learning it would be in the S5 pass.

[normal owl]

Please Microsoft give us a Halo Infinite Fashion app so I can sink too much time into my Armor Hall.

[hearty flame]

😫 That would be litty on a STACK

[muted rose]

I honestly don’t mind if it never comes, but it would be so good

[hearty flame]

The 3rd best part about Halo Infinite is playing around with armor configs like they're action figures

[faint mantle]

It was embedded into the Halo Waypoint app

[summer ice]

Lol, I used to spend hours on Reach doing that

[muted rose]

Like the commando shoulders are probably my favorite but I hate mark v b so I don’t get to use them

[summer ice]

I had a word doc as a lad with combinations I liked

[obsidian wyvern]

and it sucked lol

[summer ice]

...maybe not hours but

[boreal bear]

took me a while to get all my cores to a point where im completely satisfied with what they look like...

then they dropped cross core helmets. back to the drawing board 😭

[obsidian wyvern]

they could just do something like xcloud with streaming the armour hall specifically. no need for it to look that bad

[hearty flame]

I was always so disappointed that there wasn't a Mk VI chest for Mk V, I know how stupid it sounds but still. 12 years later and I'm still disappointed

[normal owl]

100%

[muted rose]

I had to rewrite my spartan lore entirely just so I could excuse my spartan having mark V despite being a IV

[hearty flame]

Microsoft's not exactly a software developer...

[boreal bear]

uh what?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah ik lol

the one good app they had was console companion and they got rid of it last month

[hearty flame]

RIP Console Compaion

[boreal bear]

i wonder what the soft in microsoft stands for

[normal owl]

Yeah they never got the armor customization in good shape, even back in H5.

[muted rose]

Do not use Xbox app to voice chat in parties

[hearty flame]

Softshell TacCase

[boreal bear]

ahh of course 😌

[obsidian wyvern]

I remember the armour hall on the app was the reason we had quite a few leaks lol

[normal owl]

Soft sheets. They started in bedding before moving to software.

[muted rose]

What does micro mean then

[boreal bear]

smol

[muted rose]

Are they making beds for ants?

[normal owl]

Microfiber for tight weaves.

[boreal bear]

ants derserve a comfortable rest too!

[normal owl]

Boost that thread count.

[muted rose]

Most ants deserve a comfortable bed

Argentinian ants do not

[boreal bear]

343 pls go back and make all the core exclusive coatings cross core :'

[normal owl]

But yeah, Armor Hall is so freaking fun now.

[boreal bear]

desert sparpat would look great on my mark v b core

[muted rose]

If scorpion punch was available on rakshasa I’d die a happy man

[upper patio]

What led you to this conclusion exactly?

[steady jolt]

I didn't add everytihng in, just a few important notes. Article is linked for anyone that wants to read through it all

[normal owl]

They are, once you look past the Surface...

[boreal bear]

i didnt even realize until this season, they didnt have EOD or Gunginir (thats how u spell it right?). so the reach set is complete finally?

[obsidian wyvern]

I was showing where I got the screenshot from lol, wasn't correcting you

[muted rose]

Still need military police and operator

[steady jolt]

Ooooh

[obsidian wyvern]

but rok beat me to saying it anyway

[boreal bear]

truuuue

[upper patio]

They need to put recon stuff back on sale. I’m missing the damn shoulders

[steady jolt]

I'm tired

[normal owl]

so you're scissors?

bc you said Rok beat you.

[muted rose]

But honestly those two helmets are meh anyways so

[hearty flame]

Poking fun at the fact that some of their companion software isn't good

[boreal bear]

gamebar sucks

[upper patio]

Oh you mean like xbox app for pc. Horrendous downloading. Usually has errors. Always got one bug or another, etc

[hearty flame]

Yes

[boreal bear]

the xbox app is ok, the game bar sucks

[obsidian wyvern]

yesh?

[boreal bear]

at least i havent had any issues with the xbox app

[muted rose]

Xbox app is glitchy and unreliable at best

[hearty flame]

I don't know how the Xbox app's GUI isn't more fluid

[obsidian wyvern]

game bar has been fine for me

[upper patio]

Game bar has been bugged out and said update to the latest version for like a year now, even though I get regular updates

[normal owl]

Rock Paper Scissors

[obsidian wyvern]

I know lol

[normal owl]

oh lol ok

[upper patio]

I hate how much empty space there is. No patch notes, or other things to fill space

[normal owl]

I may be bronze in Halo but I'm plat in puns.

[hearty flame]

I opened the Xbox app and was immediately greeted by a survey 😨

They're listening

[upper patio]

Oh my favorite part is turning off all notifications and still getting notifications that I have points. I can’t even claim points on pc cause back in the day I would exploit the system using 3 accounts and just get free gift cards rapidly

They banned my main account from using Xbox rewards lolol

But even with notifications turned off, I still just get notifications for points

[hearty flame]

part of your punishment

[upper patio]

That was years ago before I was even on pc lol

[smoky token]

both are slow as hell

in every way

[upper patio]

Game bar is fast on my end. But still sucks

[smoky token]

game bar is decent if you wanna do clipping and nothing else, but shadowplay is better if you have it

[upper patio]

The real issue here is, it’s as if nobody at the Xbox team uses game bar

[smoky token]

it can take upwards of a minute to pop up when i do win+g under bad circumstances

[upper patio]

The issues with Xbox pc app, and game bar are very obvious on first time use. It’s crazy this stuff just has the same issues it’s had for years

I 100% would apply to whatever position would allow me to work on gamebar. Fix bugs, and then quit that job, if I knew how to code

[hearty flame]

Gamebar and Xbox's in-game overlay are just so cluttered

[steady jolt]

Quit once all the bugs are fixed?

[hearty flame]

He'll be there forever

[upper patio]

Exactly.Trick them into thinking I’m a great fit for the team. Only work on the bugs and fixing game bar. And then just disappear

[hearty flame]

[upper patio]

I wouldn’t even want the money from it. Just to have stuff fixed

[hearty flame]

You'll be there forever if you think you can fix all the bugs

Can't name a single piece of modern software that doesn't have any bugs

[upper patio]

Well I can’t code in whatever they use for it so I wouldn’t get hired

[topaz heron]

when pilot come

[upper patio]

I only know a teeny bit of haxe for making workshop mods in a game I play. Outside of that, I can’t code lol

[hearty flame]

I used to know how to print Hello World in Python

I no longer know how to print Hello World in Python

[charred mauve]

Heresy

[charred mauve]

How is everyone?

[upper patio]

Haxe better . It’s okay Canadian man

[upper patio]

Straight up this is me

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[faint mantle]

Inb4 the bug returns because they couldn't figure out what he did

[upper patio]

They wouldn’t even get a two week notice from me, I’d just leave once it’s done

[charred mauve]

Everyone doing good?

[obsidian wyvern]

I was thinking what if they break something once he's gone

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think so lol

that was actually so funny

[charred mauve]

I was heated lol had to calm down

[pulsar roost]

Swelling in foot

I have had pretty severe swelling in my foot for a week now. It's also gone past my foot, and is halfway up my calf that is now swollen. I brought it up at my last doctors appointment on Thursday, and he sent me to get an ultrasound to make sure that there was no bludclart. Thankfully no clot, but the swelling refuses to go down, and its gotten very painful to walk from my skin being stretched. Has anyone else dealt with random swelling, and it turned out to be nothing? What did you do to get some relief?

[smoky token]

[steady jolt]

[pulsar cobalt]

I would do this just to get elites and mark iv in then leave

[pulsar roost]

Anyone dealt with this before?

[smoky token]

interesting question to ask the halo server

[steady jolt]

Go see your doc again

Anyways, back to games

[pulsar roost]

Yeah 😂 sorry I’m 34 and don’t have many friends

[void magnet]

Dunk your feet in a warm water bucket 👍

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe there's a medical discord lol

idk how much I'd trust it though

[pulsar roost]

I asked my doctor he said it might be leukaemia

I probably don’t have long left 😅

[pulsar cobalt]

That won't do much though

[hearty flame]

Does anybody else feel like content that was vaulted during S1 and hasn't returned is kind of punishing people who didn't play because the game was in a bad state?

[pulsar roost]

I’m going to die of leukaemia soon

[pulsar cobalt]

You mean the old events and weekly rewards ?

[hearty flame]

Ok

[steady jolt]

Alo, this isn't a conversation for this server

[hearty flame]

I know the weeklies and events come back, but weren't there things like the Bell Tolls visor that haven't returned?

[pulsar roost]

No of course a dead franchise is more important

Lemme just die quietly

[steady jolt]

Ah, so trolling it is then

Gotcha

[pulsar roost]

Looking for medical advice is trolling?

[pulsar cobalt]

this isn't a medical discord lmao

[pulsar roost]

@steady jolt how is that trolling

@steady jolt why is looking for advice from the last people that talk to me trolling

[molten pelican]

uh oh

[steady jolt]

You joined the server, spounted nonsense about your foot, now you're dying and calling Halo a dead franchise?

[pulsar roost]

@steady jolt ^

[steady jolt]

C'mon

[hearty flame]

I googled it, turns out Bell Tolls did return a few times since S1

[pulsar roost]

@steady jolt really?

[steady jolt]

Also stop pinging me

[pulsar roost]

@steady jolt why don’t you like being pinged

[pulsar cobalt]

[pulsar cobalt]

Okay i just noticed that bruh one has cat ears haha

[obsidian wyvern]

looks like he's gonna die alone

[candid solar]

That was funny to witness.

[hasty zinc]

Idk if funny is the right word

[fresh urchin]

I’m a KBM player, I prefer BR starts in ranked but that’s because im bad, bandit evo starts are better for the health of the game

[steady jolt]

Sad

[hearty flame]

Not even sad, just completely apathetic

[steady jolt]

apathetic

[hasty zinc]

Was that a super react?

[steady jolt]

yeah

[hasty zinc]

Weird

My phone vibrated when I reacted and I was confused

[obsidian wyvern]

if you're on your phone does that mean you're touching grass rn

[charred mauve]

Woah i look away for a few minutes and stuffs been happening

[sleek wigeon]

what do you have to do to get a melee lunge

[hasty zinc]

I was indeed outside when I was posting!

[candid solar]

Personally, I make a prayer to the omnissiah and leave an offering to the machine god, and then recite the rites of electronic aggression.

[sleek wigeon]

are yall accepting new members

[hasty zinc]

And I thought I said weird things

[sleek wigeon]

it's not weird when it's just as effective

i know a crypto miner we can sacrifice if it pleases the machine god

[hearty flame]

First game of the day and I'm getting destroyed

[hasty zinc]

Clorox needs to figure out their disinfecting wipes situation

[hearty flame]

Like absolutely dumpstered

Spawnkilled 5 times :/

[hasty zinc]

They always leave behind fibers on everything

[sleek wigeon]

everything isbalanced and you're a bad person for not liking getting stomped

[hasty zinc]

Husky Raid?

[sleek wigeon]

[hearty flame]

Squad Battle

[hasty zinc]

Ah

[hearty flame]

7 times

I'm 1/10 :/

[obsidian wyvern]

no way

[hearty flame]

I hope the AFK timer gets shortened

Tired of having 3 people AFK in my spawn getting farmed for XP

[sleek wigeon]

i hope they figure out this thing called matchmaking soon. was in an ffa game and it was halfway over and i hadn't got a single kill

[obsidian wyvern]

???

[sleek wigeon]

look, at some point, if me playing the game and me jumping off the cliff is the exact same experience, i'm just gonna start jumping off cliffs

i panicked when you took the flag and had to bust out rockets haha 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah love rak with EOD its just so good

and this grim echo coating though is great

[hearty flame]

Just experienced the most brutal last round of Total Control

As soon as the last circles went up, they capped them all and we lost immediately

[obsidian wyvern]

looks better on you than elites ever would

-do not take out of context

[pulsar cobalt]

That went rather quick

[obsidian wyvern]

elite duo lol

[sweet pasture]

why are the campaign textures on infinite so low poly?

[pulsar cobalt]

The hammer is ruthless now man

[sweet pasture]

like they start off fine but after like a few minutes everything becomes like ps1 graphics

it didnt do that when it first came out

like in 2021

i havent played much since then but now the textures are all wack

[pulsar cobalt]

Haha

[topaz stratus]

Hey, do we have an idea of when firefight is coming or is it just "season 5"?

[obsidian wyvern]

no time to grind points with how well we're doing lol

[sweet pasture]

there are some posts about it on reddit and some in #1075989764026675210 but so far there havent been any definite answers

[calm fiber]

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

[pulsar cobalt]

Want me to chill abit on the flag caps haha

[obsidian wyvern]

nah you go for it

[pulsar cobalt]

[bronze breach]

even im baffled now.. ive been working on an excel tool to aid my work, when in fact i want to quit the very work im doing... ironic

guess i'll add to my cv as an acomplishment...

[rare cedar]

My brother in The Great Journey, just quit your job already

It’s getting annoying to read the same posts every week

[bronze breach]

I have been on leave for 3 weeks now, so its close.

I told them specifically, move teams or I'll go. so I'm waiting to see if they heed my request.

and sorry panda for keep dropping drama in here... its a habit i cannot stop. I'll just another break from here once more.

[steady jolt]

You can contact official support if you don't want to try community support here

Also don't know that people won't respond unless you try

Can we do this in the support channel?

[neon halo]

What’s the exact gpu name

Whelp a 580x is gonna die playing infinite

[faint mantle]

An old model. You're better off making a post about it with the rest of your specs in detail.

[dense falcon]

ive played this in the aerlier seasons and it worked perfectly fine

[faint mantle]

Seasons change code, unfortunately that's not an excuse.

[dense falcon]

[dense falcon]

[ashen rampart]

whats your budget when it comes to a new gpu

[obsidian wyvern]

in any case, I can do one more game then I gotta work

[fickle drift]

does anyone know why infinite is so choppy at 60 fps on pc? i get insane levels of frame drops when capping frames below 100 but i dont want to turn my graphics to low just to play the game

[pulsar cobalt]

alright

no idea how we won that game lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

nice clutch back there btw, intense final minute

[ashen rampart]

seems like an issue with gsync or some kind of adaptive sync

[dense falcon]

i will genuinly sell my pc rn for $500 so i can get a new console, i have a radeon 580x and a intel core processor 16 gigs i think all built and ready to go

[neon halo]

I don’t even wanna imagine how the inside looks💀

[hasty zinc]

#halo-support-news message

[pulsar cobalt]

dude your PC is ancient

[rare cedar]

We’re not Craigslist

[dense falcon]

comes with mouse n keyboard

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[dense falcon]

no it looks nice i promise and it runs great too

[fickle drift]

ah ty

[hasty zinc]

Apparently

You're welcome

[ashen rampart]

oh so this is why my game would crash every time i would unfocus halo with vsync on

[faint mantle]

Does it run Halo?

[molten pelican]

Halo spartan strike

[hasty zinc]

Halo 2600

[neon halo]

Runs vista just fine

[ashen rampart]

30+ fps in csgo

[hasty zinc]

@obsidian wyvern

[obsidian wyvern]

omg

[molten pelican]

whats that

[hasty zinc]

Yee

[obsidian wyvern]

wouldn't you like to know

[fathom mesa]

rah

[hasty zinc]

Ice cream

[molten pelican]

no really what is that alien substance

[obsidian wyvern]

zug I can run one final one if you're down to

[molten pelican]

Oh I see

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah i'm down haha

[obsidian wyvern]

aight cool

[pulsar cobalt]

Using my mark 7 core now haha

[hasty zinc]

Lmao

[pulsar cobalt]

wish the game had a random core for each game

[hasty zinc]

Then people would complain about armor core RNG like they do for Fiesta

[tender vapor]

@warm knoll That's really mean and you should apologise.

[neon halo]

Remember when everyone looking the same was a legitimate complaint about infinite

[pulsar cobalt]

Haha

[neon halo]

How far we’ve come

[hasty zinc]

343 please nerf Eaglestrike RNG

Then they would have to add a toggle to disable certain cores

[amber mirage]

To be fair, that is how most games do their random systems.

[hasty zinc]

Ah

Does FN do that?

[amber mirage]

Yeah

[hasty zinc]

Oh cool

[amber mirage]

Except it's an enable rather than disable

[hasty zinc]

Interesting

[amber mirage]

As long as it's not like Apex where there's a limited number of slots for the items you can randomize between, I'm good.

[dense falcon]

okay i posted it in that community post thimng check it iut and hewlp me pleasssseeeeeeee

[obsidian wyvern]

lmao the way all 3 on flag had no shields and you just cleaned them out

ggs, I gotta work now zug

[pulsar cobalt]

Alright catch you later if you wanna play again was fun 🙂

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I'll send a msg

[pulsar cobalt]

We pretty good together tbh haha

imagine if we had a full team

[muted rose]

What if you have allergies to grass

And someone tells you to touch grass and you do

[dreamy stirrup]

no one said you couldn't cry while touching grass

[muted rose]

Fair enough

[hearty flame]

You ever meet that 1 in a million driver who just knows the mission as well as you do?

[pulsar cobalt]

I really do think this BP is the best since S1 its got all the stuff i really like

and the flood customization is just beautiful i hope they do more

[hearty flame]

They brought back the horror in Halo and honestly I'm for it

I hope they know how welcome Season 5 is

[faint mantle]

In Campaign? Well plenty.

[hearty flame]

Nah I meant in mp

My mans and I tore up rats nest for a few games then went toe to toe in the Halo 2 nap

[faint mantle]

Oh nice

I once went with someone on a H3 Gauss Warthog and scored top. I even got insulted in the end! 😁

[pulsar cobalt]

Classic halo 3 that haha

[fickle drift]

I saw a videogamedunkey vid where he managed to spin the warthog in a Halo Reach MCC custom game sideways until it got to like mach speed.

The stuff thats possible in Halo continues to surprise me honestly.

especially with all the crazy stunts Mint Blitz pulls off.

[near rover]

Hey guys, I had my map featured in the July community showcase and I still haven’t received my emblem or name plate. I sent a ticket to halo waypoint and sent a ticket the mod mail bot haven’t received any reply yet. Was wondering if there’s something else I could do?

[faint mantle]

You can wait for the next Spotlight to submit the form

[tight remnant]

One single weapon coating for 800 credits is not good

[faint mantle]

Omg shop!

[tight remnant]

yes shop

[fickle drift]

shop moment

[pulsar cobalt]

why has the shop prices gone back to like S1 prices

Sanguine gift should be 1200. Pumpkin spice should be 800 and the weapon coating bundle should be 200-300

[near rover]

Oh I didn’t know there was a form you fill out where would I find that when the spotlight comes around?

[candid solar]

Oughf, that weapon coating is ugly.

[faint mantle]

At the bottom of the post.

[near rover]

Bet. Thanks my dude. I appreciate it.

[faint mantle]

Trench, did you check the pins?

[candid solar]

Yes

[fickle drift]

oh my god

thats an insanely clever spartan setup

[candid solar]

I am happy to be pinned here

[candid solar]

Tarnished Olympus is actually pretty nice for a gray-and-mud look if not combined with ooey gooey floodybits.

[tight remnant]

I like the flood bits

[bold sparrow]

Same thing I thought when I saw it.
"Yep thats goin on my Eaglestrike"

[tight remnant]

those flood bits do help make other cores look floodified

[candid solar]

Until/unless we get more Eaglestrike cosmetics, that's probs gonna be how my Eaglestrike will look from now on

[fickle drift]

This is random but honestly before Halo Infinite launched I praised it as an alternative to TF2 because of the bot crisis, especially now I think my point still stands.

[candid solar]

The two games aren't really what I'd call comparable.

[fickle drift]

well they are both F2P and on Steam so they do at least compete in a way

[fathom mesa]

ello

[fickle drift]

I get they're different but I kinda got tired of TF2 because of the bots so I needed a game to not necessarily replace TF2 but be a substitute and I think Halo fits that role pretty nicely.

if anyone wanted to look

[candid solar]

That is a very... Goofy rifle.

[faint mantle]

I migrated to MCC during the bot crisis. Best decision I've ever made.

[pulsar cobalt]

isn't that bot thing fixed now ?

[fickle drift]

not exactly

Valve is in a position where they can't fix it entirely in a snap

they only have literally only like 360 employees after all

and apparently they're working on like 10+ projects all at once one being TF2

[queen remnant]

They kinda work different compared to other companies

[fickle drift]

Well yeah, their structure is definitely a unique one to say the least

[faint mantle]

The day EAC works like it's supposed to on Linux will be the day the bots die.

[tight remnant]

vampire MJOLNIR

[fickle drift]

doesn't Epic own EAC?

(yes I know I said isn't at first that was a typo)

I dunno Epic's stance on Linux but I hope they think of Linux in a positive light.

[bold sparrow]

Most companies dont because its open source

Theres a reason I dont play games on my PC.

[fickle drift]

I got MCC working on my Steam Deck in mod mode at least so that's promising

I heard Infinite runs well on Steam Deck but I haven't tested that

[queen remnant]

Yes

[faint mantle]

Sorry, I meant VAC.

[topaz heron]

prices are high

[fickle drift]

oh

[bronze breach]

I call inflation.

[vivid pendant]

Can someone please report that the AI of the elites with the energy sword does not work well against brutes and elites, and that their camouflage only interacts against marines, excluding all other AIs, please, I would appreciate it.

[dreamy stirrup]

why can't you?

[vivid pendant]

I don't know it won't let me send tickets

[hallow marten]

Reinstalled Infinite after a loooong hiatus. It's really nice to see new maps, new modes, and community involvement.

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm 50/50 on the pumpkin spice bundle haha

I love the bats on the coating haha

[vast spindle]

helo

[void magnet]

I thought 800 was bad for armor coatings but for weapons it’s abysmal

[pulsar cobalt]

Weapons coatings need to be 250

or 200

[void magnet]

I think simple two-tone coatings should be like 100-200 for armor, and more complicated coatings with patterns and creative coloring could be like 500 (reaching here, I still think that’s a lot tbh)

[bronze breach]

Is it singular coating and not multi weapon coating?

[void magnet]

I get that it’s harder now with everything applying on all cores but I still think strongly about making these prices lower

[pulsar cobalt]

no its multi weapon

[tight remnant]

All are multi from now on

[void magnet]

No it’s multi-weapon

[pulsar cobalt]

Just the prices atm is kinda ridiculous

[bronze breach]

Price needs to tone down a little, but they will justify it as economic inflation and studio expenses risen up.

[pulsar cobalt]

Coatings and weapons should not be 800 like that's crazy

armours i'm not really fussed if they 1000-1500

[bronze breach]

How I see things in life:

Everything is going up but your salary....

[void magnet]

Inflation making coatings pricier is crazy and I’m glad they haven’t justified prices this way (at least not yet)

But the ‘cost of production’ thing was a bit lame

[bronze breach]

They will eventually, they just not brave enough I guess.

To admit that a profit generating business is suffering from economic inflation

Yet the higher execs wont take a paycut to try resolve the issues

[void magnet]

There’s just no justification for that especially when a pretty decent amount of coatings use the same patterns with different coloring

[pulsar cobalt]

Would be great if 343 did away with credits and just did real currency purchases

because with credits you gotta buy more and that's annoying

[void magnet]

If they’re selling coatings for 800, we should at least get like 8 different variants of the coating as palette options like emblems

1 variant per 100 credits is more than fair in my opinion

[bronze breach]

I would buy a store pass - buy a pass that allows me to buy everything for a limited time. Say 3 weeks.

[tight remnant]

I think there are logistical issues about using direct real world currency

[bronze breach]

Once limit is over, any new you items you buy you need to pay

The only bad thing about it is that some items you may not like. That is rng I guess

[tight remnant]

I think you should haev a way to earn some credits in game too, and also it'd be nice if there was a support a creator code system like in fortnite

[pulsar cobalt]

343 needs to add 100 credits 200 and 50 options

[jaunty yoke]

Or you know

Stop charging 25+ dollars per thing in the store

[tight remnant]

That too, more reasonable prices

Let more people buy more. The game population has grown as well

[bronze breach]

They added a level to credit slider in game now lol

[tight remnant]

let me look at a poll

[queen remnant]

Not seeing happening after season 4 store and now 5

[thorn sierra]

Is there an Infinite playlist update today?

[jaunty yoke]

You can't have anything that is under 1000 credits that isn't a skin for a gun or some boosts

[candid solar]

I really don't... Get the coating prices for this shop.

[bronze breach]

Maybe they apply tax on the items which is why it's expensive?

[weak condor]

I think 343 should add some way to get free coins like splitgate. If you play splitgate for a week, you receive 100 splitcoins

[queen remnant]

Well, If people buy it at those prices anyways why not keep doing it

[candid solar]

Can't say my favorite mutation on Splitgate's name to call it trash. Damn.

[pulsar cobalt]

Why i think commendations might be a good way to earn credits for people who do not want to buy

[topaz heron]

scop

[graceful mountain]

Out of all the armor Mirage with the currotor coating looks the best

[candid solar]

Like, there were all-weapon coatings before this update that were cheaper.

I'm pretty sure atomic flint was like 600CR?

[weak condor]

I used to play a lot splitgate, before halo infinite launched

[topaz heron]

all hcs armor coatings should be cc

[jaunty yoke]

I played it too, but wasn't a fan of the guns or the way the code worked
