[limber ember]

W eats

[molten pelican]

I will not ask again

[torpid ore]

Get in my belly

[wild sleet]

So you can repulse Sniper shots back at the attackers

[upper patio]

Looks really good

[upper patio]

I dislike that only certain things count, and not everything

[fickle drift]

Got my first ever quigley

Two dudes were running towards one of my teammates and I shot them both in the head with a sniper

[junior horizon]

easier said than done

[gloomy igloo]

The definition of abuse: halo 2 legendary

Seriously tho
Why is it literal hell

How unfinished is it

[earnest umbra]

343 needs to disable extraction on streets 🤣 you can plant on the ceiling in PD so it cant be disarmed

[dreamy stirrup]

ticket it if you haven't yet

[rare cedar]

It’s a feature

[steady jolt]

New challenge: get the plant on a Spartan so they can run around with it

[twin leaf]

Only the finest

[junior horizon]

whoah how do i do this

[steady jolt]

Don't do this

[junior horizon]

i'll do it against bots

[forest lagoon]

Mmhm... Sure...

[junior horizon]

no harm in that

[earnest umbra]

i saw someone do it in a game randomly

[wheat talon]

Hey guys, one question, I'm doing the achievement of ending H:Reach on 3 hours, if I restart the mission and start cause i want to get par time, does that count?

[earnest umbra]

im gonna take a clip and submit a ticket before more people find out and start doing it

[sand nest]

The Microsoft Rewards System Are Not Recognizing Halo Infinite As A PC Game To Claim 50 Points From Steam Or Xbox App

[steady jolt]

https://rewards.bing.com/support

You can raise a ticket about any issues like this

[wild sleet]

Damn the Defiled Skin coating looks a bit more twisted than the Corruptor Coating for the Rusalka Kit

[pallid island]

Literally some ultrakill type of move

Having parrys in a shooter game will always be good

[wheat talon]

Shoot a coin with the spartan laser

[wild sleet]

Imagine repusling a Splaser shot

[wheat talon]

Repulsing skewer shot

[feral chasm]

has halo been taking forever to load for anyone else recently?

[wheat talon]

For me it just uninstall 💀

[feral chasm]

used to never be an issue for me

[wheat talon]

Idk why Microsoft created the feature of uninstall the game if u want to cancel the update

[dreamy stirrup]

because it's better than having people complain their installations are incomplete and corrupted

[wheat talon]

that's true, anyways I need to install infinite again

[wheat talon]

How do I report a bot account? Like a fake member in this server

[dreamy stirrup]

DM ModMail 🙂

@bleak yoke

[wheat talon]

Thanks

[wild sleet]

Give a Flood a rocket launcher & they give zero trucks about spamming the trigger regardless of range

[wheat talon]

Marine flood 🤝 H2 Jackal sniper
0 cooldown and perfect aim

[limber ember]

POINT BLANK RAHHH

[smoky token]

fnaf was good

don’t let the critics say otherwise

[twilit vector]

Becomes something to fear on laso runs

[wheat talon]

Legendary is enough to be feared

[twilit vector]

If the flood return
I so want a flood driving a scorpion with god tier aim
Why a scorpion so then its a rocket flood but with better armor mostly

The flood in h2 can drive tanks
If you wait long enough for one to jump in

[wheat talon]

Like, spartan infected + any weapons means

Death totally

[twilit vector]

Spartan flood be a better idea for a flood boss actually

[elfin glacier]

:^)

[wheat talon]

Imagine rulsaka kit amor as final boss

that would be scary

[molten pelican]

ive heard its fun from the fans, what more do you want from a FNAF movie

[twilit vector]

Yes

[wheat talon]

Kinda sad I can't enjoy the game rn, I would like to play some matches

[hasty zinc]

don't ask me how

[twilit vector]

I made a story where the rulsaka is used by the gravemind as a commander almost hunting down odst and Spartans

[wheat talon]

In the archives, there's the story of how (I presume) rulsaka spartan was infected

[elfin glacier]

@fickle drift do you need something?

please do not randomly discord call me i have a very tight schedule to stick to

[muted rose]

Cracked

[muted rose]

It was pretty good

Had some moments I was I just like 😶 but otherwise was good

[sand nest]

Flood Infected Spartan With Banished AI

[wild sleet]

Whoever said "What if we give Flood Elites Shields & make their shields insanely strong on Legendary & give it a random weird moment where it's not affected by any melee damage" in Halo 3 I hope your steak isn't well done

[wild sleet]

Yeah I got a Discord call from him as well

[sand nest]

I Just Don't Want To Fight The Brutes On Legendary With All Skulls On From Halo 2

[dreamy stirrup]

he calle dyou too?

@fickle drift are you just calling people randomly?

[ionic tide]

Yall hear me out

Trolldier Elites in Halo 2 Multiplayer

[twilit vector]

He tried to call me to

I got the pic for proof

[dreamy stirrup]

don't need it

[twilit vector]

I so hope we get all his parts later so we can make are own custom version of the spartan like with different shoulders

[wheat talon]

I just hope they add ODST pieces infected by flood

[jolly snow]

Dude

What

[twilit vector]

Honestly with how he is along with the flood jorge they could of been better as a kit so then we got a full flood core for full customization

[wild sleet]

Jorge not feeling too good

[jolly snow]

I just got banned from taking the SAT...

[twilit vector]

Who

[jolly snow]

Me

[twilit vector]

OH SAT the test ....wait how the heck do you get banned from those

Well I mean i never was allowed to take it because of my adhd because the school thought i was to stupid for it

[jolly snow]

I was using my phone

[twilit vector]

That the reason right there

[jolly snow]

And some idiot SNITCHED on me

And I got caught

[twilit vector]

Its the sat you're not supposed to use devices

[jolly snow]

It was last year

[wild sleet]

Man me with a Cert II Horticulture with ADHD

[jolly snow]

And I'm just now hearing that I'm banned from taking the SAT

[fossil comet]

you cant apply speed stat to anything so have fun with troodon elites

[twilit vector]

What they should do is make you do it on paper in a isolated room to ensure no cheating

[jolly snow]

I hope that girl who snitched on me during the SAT fails sophomore year

[twilit vector]

Maybe heres a thought
DONT CHEAT

[dreamy stirrup]

"I got in trouble for doing something i shouldn't but it's not MY fault"

@jolly snow take responsibility. no one else's fault but yours

[jolly snow]

I was snitched on

[fossil comet]

oof

[molten pelican]

good

[jolly snow]

And I don't condone that

[dreamy stirrup]

anyway

halo

friday

[jolly snow]

It was her fault

[fossil comet]

yes

[dreamy stirrup]

who's playing what

[molten pelican]

almost saturday

[fossil comet]

halo very frriday

[molten pelican]

battlebit

[cinder gulch]

It's Friday! Hope everybody's doing well.

And yeah, what are y'all playing?

[wild sleet]

Don't cheat Git Gud

[dreamy stirrup]

tomorrow will be my first like, "day off" in almost 3 weeks

[twilit vector]

Ok ill stop talking almighty mods

[jolly snow]

Bro who's deleting my messages

[dreamy stirrup]

guys. stop egging him on. i very clearly changed the subject.

me.

because this is a halo server. not a livejournal.

[cinder gulch]

Good to hear, enjoy it when you can. 👍

[dreamy stirrup]

i cannot wait to sleep

[molten pelican]

any plans?

[wild sleet]

I'll sleep when CE Mark V is out in halo Infinite

[cinder gulch]

Sleep sounds good, doesn't it?

[dreamy stirrup]

and by "sleep in" i mean like 9am

[left bone]

imagine sleeping

[molten pelican]

I always feel like I really want to game during the night, but around 10:30 I almost always give up

[twilit vector]

Well im going to have a great week

[fossil comet]

thats still early 🫠

[cinder gulch]

Honestly the paid stuff is a little bit much, but I'm not complaining too much

[twilit vector]

So dose anyone have a idea how much the mark v will cost

[dreamy stirrup]

i'm a morning person, Syko. so that's "late" for me lol

[left bone]

i agree

[wild sleet]

Mark V is my last purchase in the shop I'll have what I need after that, well except for white

[cinder gulch]

I'd recommend sleeping a little bit more, but if that works for you then go ahead. 👍
(That's just me though)

[molten pelican]

9 is pretty late

[left bone]

my wallet's nearly empty

and i only have 50$ to spare

i think ill just get a model kit

[twilit vector]

Mark v
Pilot and white
..ok and the scout flood of they do release it as a separate item

[molten pelican]

As an MCC player I almost always have no idea whats going on in here☕

[cinder gulch]

Off-topic question, but low or high sensitivity? I've been experimenting with both and I seem to suck on both (though low sens works better for me)

[wild sleet]

Only Mark V & a White Coating, If Pilot came with the Haunted Variant then I would get it

[left bone]

i quitted mcc

[molten pelican]

Low, 4.5 in mcc, 6 in infinite.... I think

[fossil comet]

so am i up 430am time. i guess we have different ideas what "sleeping in" means mine is yikes 🤣

[twilit vector]

It sadly doesn't wich is a huge missed opportunity

[cinder gulch]

Halo Infinite cosmetics and customization. 👍

[lusty star]

The new fan made campaigns in Halo Infinite are awesome

[ivory spade]

you guys managed to make stockpile even less fun somehow by removing the hilarity of trying to juggle 5 seeds at once

[fossil comet]

any fan made odst remake yet?

[lusty star]

Not from what I've seen

[wild sleet]

People enjoy Stockpile?

[cinder gulch]

Yeah, indeed they are. Honestly, the snow-themed ones just kick it out of the park for me, I just love snowy environments and I don't know why.

[molten pelican]

I did

its pretty funny gamemode, but frustrating bc I swear rarely anyone plays objective

[chilly bane]

when reyna buff comin

[lusty star]

Yeah Inclamancy was super fun

[cinder gulch]

Same can be said about CTF sometimes, though it's kinda funny when I get a good match and get all 3 captures.

[wild sleet]

For me it's all Objective modes it's a rare sight to get a team that plays Obj

[forest lagoon]

Dude... That sounds so frustrating! I loved making my dinos speedy

[candid solar]

Oh, sorry

[forest lagoon]

For what?

[candid solar]

Classic Discord Blunder, I dipped when I shoulda dove

Also I ordered a bed and it should be here next week

[forest lagoon]

Long time without sleep

[dreamy stirrup]

you did it!

[candid solar]

BTW, Sam, the Bat helmet isn't canon, right?

I keep seeing people saying it is, but I'm pretty sure it's gotten cleared as noncanon.

[dreamy stirrup]

uhhhh

idk

i'm not the lore kid

[candid solar]

Okay!

[alpine trench]

Anyone having a problem playing halo infinite got a black screen durning a match then got suspended for one day for not playing I wasnèt able to due to the bug

[novel tangle]

i swear people care too much about a helmet being a canon lol

let a cool helmet be a cool helmet lol

[pseudo swan]

do youy think they call spartans from back then 'spartan 0's'?

[candid solar]

Mood

[candid solar]

Back when?

[tight remnant]

Where?

[tight remnant]

Canon lore story and continuity is important to people

[pseudo swan]

i couldnt provide an image but spartans like the ancient warriors i geuss?

[candid solar]

IDK, I've seen Sith Venator and CIA mention its canonicity before, generally in a negative light.

As in, affirming the negative response.

[fossil comet]

ya game is a lame money injection for wild card anyway eventually once ark 2 comes they'll find a reason to drop ark ascended and have us main their new game. They're showing us buy providing less officials servers so in hopes their community/player base caves in and rent out and operate their own server when they rent from wildcard

[tight remnant]

I haven't seen anything that hard disproves it

[candid solar]

My mean reason is two of the items it's paired with (Comically oversized syringe, syringe bayonet), and the fact it's a '343 industries' armor item, which generally means it can have its description at the very least taken with a grain of salt.

[sand nest]

Ok Got My Flood Infected Spartan With Banished AI Posted In Show And Tell

[sand nest]

Lets Have A Massive Brawl Game Mode Of Spartans (Players) VS Infected (Players) VS Firefight Banished AI

[covert widget]

does anyone know how to disable all the medals popping up on screen they are starting to affect me playing the game and would like them turned off

[vapid siren]

Just be bad at the game so you dont get any

[cinder gulch]

Honestly the Halo Infinite Multiplayer OSTs are underrated...

Damn, the new Season 5 one goes crazy.

[elfin glacier]

@vapid siren i'm gonna banish you to r/funny

[shadow hinge]

every time you load up halo now takes a long time? thought would just be the first, but every time now that progress bar be creepin

[vapid siren]

[shadow hinge]

nvidia update? what your cryptic message mean

[little walrus]

is there a mcc lfg group in this server?

[sand nest]

Getting To The Main Menu To Halo Infinite Takes As Long As Cutting A Door Of A Alloy Of Adamantium And Mithril

[floral pollen]

I'm honestly mad they changed it, it was fine the way it was, and it was honestly my favorite BTB gamemode

[hasty zinc]

#halo-support-news message

[celest axle]

Came back to play some infection.. Wtffffffff is with the scoring? It literally rewards being a wuss, and hiding.. What did they do to my favourite game type? 😤😤😤

[mighty ferry]

In 17 days are we getting a whole new BP or is that just a count down to mid season?

[buoyant plinth]

I mean staying off the radar is a crucial strategy.

[obsidian wyvern]

it's an event, but once that starts, you can no longer level up the battlepass for free

[strong mauve]

Hi I am customizing my phone please send me halo inspired wallpapers and sounds for ringtone and charging and stuff like that

[mighty ferry]

Ok thank you for the clarification

[celest axle]

Yeah I get that, but I shouldn’t be losing to the guy who hid for 3 rounds, who went like 7 and 4, when I was last man once, but I went like 30 and 4. I had a 300 point lead today, was alpha last round, lost by like 50 points to the guy who just hid with invis the whole game. That’s insane.

And then when I try to hide, invis or not, if there’s any bot zombies, they make a damn b-line towards you, like you’ve had the last man icon above your head the entire time lol they broke my gametype 😤😤😤

[obsidian wyvern]

these are my favourite, more on the subtle side for halo fans

[strong mauve]

Wow thanks do you have the original picture without the icons

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah one sec

[kindred dune]

Hello guys

[obsidian solar]

Hello

[obsidian solar]

How are you doing

[obsidian wyvern]

I also use the middle for my home screen but yeah, you do you

[shadow hinge]

anyone send me a file of the 'halo-ween' candy stuff? can't seem to download it off of the tweet

Whoops. Got it.

[north cave]

[stiff ledge]

wheres the support channel?

[dusky swan]

#1075989764026675210 ?

[stiff ledge]

is there no community help anymore, can't launch Halo infinite, it keeps crashing in the loading menu

[dusky swan]

That is community help

[rare cedar]

Literally in the channel name

[obsidian wyvern]

why r u 2 up at this time

[candid solar]

It's not immediate 343i pararescue dropping in to make the game work again

[calm fiber]

You may refer to #1075989764026675210 if you are in need of community based assistance. This is strictly community sourced and operated and is not staffed by any official members of the Support team.

For official support, you'll need to go to the Halo Support site: https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[rare cedar]

Watching Loki

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah I forgot to watch yesterdays episode

[rare cedar]

Bro

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll watch it tonight

[rare cedar]

Not tonight

Now

[obsidian wyvern]

or if I get a break at work

[rare cedar]

Is that Minecraft

[dusky swan]

nah roblox

[rare cedar]

That was my next guess

[obsidian wyvern]

I can't actually tell if that's a game

I was gonna say cities skylines lol

[dusky swan]

It's Cities Skylines 2

Beautiful game, my poor performance

[rare cedar]

Wait you’re in May 2025? What’s the future like

Sunny skies, I see

[dusky swan]

First time in a long time in this city lmao

[rare cedar]

What city is it

[obsidian wyvern]

reach city

[dusky swan]

I called it Query because I couldn't think of a name lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

not a bad name tbf

[dusky swan]

This game is scary realistic at times man, if you ever wanna get into city sims, CS2 is really fun

[rare cedar]

Do you place every tree and house and fire hydrant?

[dusky swan]

The game builds most things for you, I just build roads and zone locations for residential, industry, or commercial. I might die if I had to place every tree and fire hydrant

[rare cedar]

[obsidian wyvern]

I heard it's really poorly optimised

[dusky swan]

It's tuff right now, they're putting out patches like crazy though and it's already showing performance improvements on my rig

What was 8 FPS is now 20, so I'm hopeful

[obsidian wyvern]

lol, progress is progress ig

[dusky swan]

CS1 was way worse tbh, since it was limited to like two or four cores. It would run terribly at like 50,000 population

[wild sleet]

Played a Team Snipers with a mate ended up winning with 2 inexperienced players, what is SBMM man

[raw yarrow]

Finally got my Unicorn of fire

[lean ether]

Just opened Halo Infinite S5. The battle pass has only 50 Tiers

[queen remnant]

Yeah

[lean ether]

Why is that?

Regarding the Mark VI armour kit, is it only valid for the season or whenever we reach Hero rank, irrespective of the season?

[lilac sphinx]

The vehicles in heavy btb are so annoying

[obsidian wyvern]

whenever u reach hero

[warm vessel]

Am I the only one running into a lot of hacked lobbies??

The last few games I’ve gone into people are running around like Speedy Gonzales

[glad copper]

[fickle drift]

I think they're asking if it expires. Some other games force you to reach max rank to use rewards each season so people probably think it's the same here.

[neon halo]

Bro is playing a mode specifically designed for more vehicle combat and he complains about it

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[lilac sphinx]

I’m playing just cause it got Br starts and give more xp

I only ever die to vehicles

Just played last game maybe died once to a sniper 😭

I get it but damn bro 💀 like y’all got guns too

[lean ether]

Thanks

[real fjord]

[true cradle]

helloooo

[smoky wadi]

Hey I'm looking for some forge help, I wanna add large scale dust storm to a map and google searches aren't helping me at all.

[pulsar cobalt]

The forge discord would probably be your best friend

[steady jolt]

@hearty nexus No politics please

[hearty nexus]

Won’t happen again admin

[worldly ravine]

I was playing big team battle in Infinite and everything was just normal. After a while I was put into a match were some people had like onyx rank. The funny thing is that I am on silver rank.

[fickle drift]

Welp....i woke up early its 4 in the morning

[upper patio]

Btb doesn’t account for rank. It’s a social mode. The indicator on their nameplate on the right hand side is account level. Essentially showing playtime

[worldly ravine]

Yes, but there is a small difference in the skill level.

[analog quest]

Did they change anything with the optimisation? My game was running ok before now it’s running badly on the exact same settings I’ve been on for months

[steady jolt]

There are some issues with Nvidia drivers right now that are being investigated

#halo-support-news

[analog quest]

Is that just with loading? I’m not too bothered by the loading more the fps dips and just overall being low at times when otherwise they were high a few days ago

[forest lagoon]

Unless you mean from ranked play, that just means time played and nothing else. Doesn't even take into account the time spent playing before the game was implemented

[turbid stirrup]

Why is finding matches taking wayyy longer rn?
And then I get a 250 ping match? In the forbidden playlist?

[molten pelican]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTsDpmBC2VE
I have found a fantastic youtube channel

[forest lagoon]

Might not have enough matching in your area at the time?

[verbal hawk]

wen firefight?

[civic walrus]

custom games for now

[calm fiber]

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

[civic walrus]

I guess that means we have to wait until at most January

[hasty narwhal]

Works for me. Some are pretty nice

[turbid stirrup]

I am in Asia, when do u think would be my time

[forest lagoon]

No clue, I don't know much about gaming on that side of the planet :/

[lapis dirge]

Hellloooo chaaaat

Your man is losing sleep again

[upper patio]

Anybody will become proficient with enough time put into something, so I suppose.

[lapis dirge]

Yo guys did you hear what mint said

Gold players have higher win rates than pros

[forest lagoon]

No, because I don't watch him much

[hasty narwhal]

Infinite punishes you for playing well.

I played a match, got 20 kills and 9 deaths.

Next round I spawned with one teammate instead of three, and the team on the other end had rockets and snipers. It's actually hilarious how badly we got destroyed

[lapis dirge]

Average skill based matchmaking experience

I have similar happen often

[hasty narwhal]

Kinda demotivating sometimes

[lapis dirge]

Yeah

Got a killtacular one game and the next my ktd was -25

[forest lagoon]

Could be that pros playing against other pros lead to tighter games and narrower leads since they are so high up in skill and fewer players to match with
There are far more gold players to balance and level out stuff

[lapis dirge]

Yeah

That’s the point mint was making

[hasty narwhal]

Sometimes it depends on the weapons you get, but man not everyone is good with every weapon. You get 10 kills with a rocket, they expect you to get 10 kills with the sidekick

[lapis dirge]

I was playing on prism on the first game and I got the tacular with the needler

[forest lagoon]

My experience with squad battle has been embarrassing on my end

[lapis dirge]

Same

[upper patio]

Not when I’m on the enemy team they don’t 😤

[turbid stirrup]

People awake people play?

[lapis dirge]

What rank?

[hasty narwhal]

I've been doing Husky Raid most often because it's sometimes easy farming due to the skill based matchmaking believe it or not.

[upper patio]

I’m almost diamond again, lol

[forest lagoon]

I'm like a n008 that's never touched a game before getting pwnd across the map lol

[lapis dirge]

Farming in husky is an enjoyable experience

[hasty zinc]

just like IRL

[wide sable]

It’s raining hard outside… perfect to listen to the entire Halo 3: ODST album on Spotify

[lapis dirge]

Mid plat here so only a lil better

[forest lagoon]

Husky raid I was surprised how well I did

[lapis dirge]

It’s 1am and I’m listening to covenant dance

(Ce soundtrack)

[hasty narwhal]

Impart absolutely slaps. I love that track

[wide sable]

Gotta bounce trooper, sleep well

[lapis dirge]

Likewise

[forest lagoon]

Except for this one time I was flag juggling back and for some reason I kept picking up a weapon from the ground instead of the flag even though I wasn't looking down and panik death was quickly after

[wide sable]

Overture and Deference for Darkness atm (rain lol)

[lapis dirge]

Overture W

[hasty narwhal]

That happened to me. I picked up the gravity hammer with the red blade and thought it was the red flag 😭

[lapis dirge]

Happens here a lot as well

[forest lagoon]

We had wiped the squad so it should have been a clean run if it wasn't for that blunder

Still won 3-0 though so

[lapis dirge]

I love cleaning squads with rockets/camo

Ight imma head off to bed Gn chat

[hasty zinc]

I need to work on the weekly

[winter bison]

Redemption

[normal owl]

Today I embark on the toughest grind of all: setting up Mom's new phone and customizing it to her liking.

[hasty zinc]

godspeed

[winter bison]

Right up there with helping grandma buy something online

[normal owl]

If I don't survive, I bequeath one of my special edition controller of your choice to you.

[winter bison]

Halo 3 odst edition controller

[hasty zinc]

I helped my mom with a Chrome issue over the phone the other night and she followed along extremely well. Was able to resolve it within 3 minutes

I was in disbelief

with my dad it would have taken at least 30 minutes

[normal owl]

"Mom, when did you get Diamond in tech troubleshooting??"

[hasty zinc]

she followed along better than people who I talk to at work

[winter bison]

my mom is very stubborn, she never asks for my help and when I'm at her house and she's struggling on something if I dare try to help her she starts beating me up

She does kickboxing so she can beat me up fairly easily

[normal owl]

Wow what a G! My Mom on the other hand is as good with tech as I am with battle royales: almost illiterate when I'm dropped in.

[hasty zinc]

it was just weird because she has NEVER called me for tech support ever

[winter bison]

sadge ;,ap

[hasty zinc]

it's always my dad who calls

[winter bison]

he probably was too ashamed to call

[hasty zinc]

he recently got a new laptop and oh man, I wasn't looking forward to that tech session

[normal owl]

Any chance she was pinch-calling for him secretly?

[winter bison]

Oh god

[normal owl]

Dude I still have Mom's new laptop in the box from a month ago bc I've been dreading it.

[hasty zinc]

the first thing he asked me was literally "how do I download the google on my new PC"

[winter bison]

hey Aeg why do you both have the no pings and pings okay roles it's very confusing

[normal owl]

Man knows what he wants.

[winter bison]

Aeg sounds like egg, I'll call you egg from now on

[hasty zinc]

nah it was def her

[hasty zinc]

it's very confusing
good, it's working 🙂

[winter bison]

I'll keep pinging you then, egg

[hasty zinc]

gotta keep you on your toes

[normal owl]

I might've told this already, but this is my favorite tech story about Dad: one time he was hanging out with me at the office and checking his email on the admin's computer. It had an external monitor. When he finished, he slammed the monitor onto the keyboard and desk and then explained like it was totally normal, "oops I thought it was a laptop". @hasty zinc

[hasty zinc]

omg

[winter bison]

Man you're gonna make sam mute me again

[hasty zinc]

that's hilarious

[normal owl]

I didn't even care, I was cracking up so hard.

[hasty zinc]

why would you get muted?

[winter bison]

"time for you to take a break" muted for 1 day

[hasty zinc]

so was that monitor

[normal owl]

Yeah it and the keyboard died gloriously that day.

[winter bison]

How do you slam a monitor so hard the keyboard breaks, like at this point I feel like he would've broken it even if it was a laptop

[hasty zinc]

monitors are heavier than laptop screens

[winter bison]

I've put holes into walls with keyboards and they still work fine to this day

[hasty zinc]

I'll never understand getting so mad at games that you break your own equipment

that stuff costs money lol

[winter bison]

I wasn't mad, it was actually for money

I got paid to do it on stream

[hasty zinc]

I see

[winter bison]

My eyes cannot witness

[hasty zinc]

also I'm really enjoying the new Goosebumps show

[winter bison]

What's that

[hasty zinc]

a show called Goosebumps

[winter bison]

woah, that's crazy

[hasty zinc]

ikr

[normal owl]

Totally surprised by it: kind of a Stranger Things vibe in that it's more supernaturally suspenseful than scary.

[winter bison]

What streaming platform is it on?

[hasty zinc]

I read every single Goosebumps book when I was a kid, my dad would come home every friday after work with a new goosebumps book and I would immediately read it. I loved them

[winter bison]

My dad did the same but with The Adventures of Asterix and Obelix

purebred french goodness

[hasty zinc]

Hulu

[winter bison]

I don't use Hulu

too bad I guess

[hasty zinc]

then no gooosebumps

¯_(ツ)_/¯

keep an eye out around black friday, they usually do a 99 cents per month for a year deal

[normal owl]

The story arc of the kid with the thing reminded me of a toxic gamer lol: found the one weird source of power and turned into a jerk.

[winter bison]

Genuinely not interested in getting another subscription to another streaming service that probably has only 4 shows I'm interested it

[hasty zinc]

just trying to help

my apologies

[winter bison]

Ik

I'm not berating you, just sayin'

[normal owl]

How dare you

[hasty zinc]

I will refrain from doing so in the future

[normal owl]

"What gives you the right?"

[winter bison]

I'm sorry if it seems as such, I guess my written tone sounds the same as my Spoken tone, Yay autism

[hasty zinc]

it's fine

I was just goofin

https://tenor.com/uwiR.gif

[obsidian wyvern]

I loved the goosebumps horror land series

[winter bison]

What a goofy person

[obsidian wyvern]

also on Disney+ rn

[hasty zinc]

genuine Ostrich

[hasty zinc]

oh cool, yeah I guess I should have figured since it's on Hulu

[winter bison]

new controller just came in

[hasty zinc]

well aren't you in luck

I just hope we get a second season so we get my favorite, Horror at Camp Jellyjam

[normal owl]

Such a shame that a delicious sounding camp would suffer a terrible fate.

[hasty zinc]

right

[normal owl]

That's the true horror.

[hasty zinc]

the true horror was getting a new goosebumps book and the raised bumps on the goosebumps logo at the top had been worn off

uhh what was that other series R.L. Stine had

umm I remember one of the books had a big praying mantis on it

[normal owl]

Fear St?

[hasty zinc]

I think it had the word street in it

yeah yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

think I read that one

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah it was something like this

[obsidian wyvern]

wait is the new series the horror land series

[hasty zinc]

now that I think about it, it's probably not the horrorland series

actually I dunno

it's the last episode in the new series

did One Day at horrorland lead into the Welcome to Horrorland series?

[obsidian wyvern]

I can't remember, I read those books about 10 years ago

[hasty zinc]

yeah it's been so long

[obsidian wyvern]

I thought that was the last book in the series but idk

[hasty zinc]

yeah the book was One Day at horrorland but the title of the episode is welcome to horrorland

[forest lagoon]

I believe in you!

[obsidian wyvern]

remember slappy lol

[hasty zinc]

oh of course

[obsidian wyvern]

I think that was it's name, the ventriloquist one

[hasty zinc]

yep it's an episode in the new series too

[obsidian wyvern]

I should watch this then

[normal owl]

Thank you 🙏 The tallest mountains are the toughest climbs.

[obsidian wyvern]

too much to watch and too much to play rn

and then a ton of work

[hasty zinc]

my second favorite goosebumps book is "it came from beneath the sink"

[elfin glacier]

the eternal dilemma

[hasty zinc]

made me afraid of sponges lol

[blazing aspen]

I’m about to get infinite in a couple of days and I was wondering if what battle pass I should start off with

[winter bison]

I like how xbox has put a USB cable that is long enough to go from my computer to the elite 2 controller inside the box, makes me need not to buy a new cable.

[elfin glacier]

probably the first 2

[hasty zinc]

I would do Season 5, then you can earn enough credits to get all of the other previous seasons for no additional charge

[winter bison]

you should own an ma5-c assault rifle for home defense, since that's what the forerunners intended.
Four covenant break into my barracks.
"Demon is here"
as I grab my bubble shield and assault rifle, fill the first one with lead, he's dead on the spot, draw my pistol on the second, miss him entirely because it's from halo 2 and headshots a neighbouring marine
I have to resort to the m247-h heavy machine gun mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with caliber 12.7x99mm.
Time to finish this fight
The 12.7x99mm rounds shreds two covenant in the blast.
The sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms.
Surprise energy sword and charge the terrified squid face, he dies from the boiling wound since the energy sword strikes with extreme temperatures.
Just as the forerunners intended.

[elfin glacier]

🙏

[hearty flame]

MA5C wasn't in Halo 2

[winter bison]

I know

never said it was, I literally just typed in the script of an entire video

[hearty flame]

You did

nope, I misread because I'm stupid.

[winter bison]

I didn't, I said the pistol was from halo 2

[winter bison]

Yes, you are.

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think I've read that one, was say cheese and die the one with the girl diving

late message nvm

[hasty zinc]

say cheese and die was the camera that showed the deaths of the kids before it happened

or rather, the potential deaths of the kids

[cedar turret]

That’s why you eat cheese and don’t name it

if 343 does something like this for this helm i would be so happy

[wary dove]

Can you use custom spartan for halo 3 odst like halo reach.

[quiet stream]

8v8 is epicer than 12v12? 🤔

[obsidian wyvern]

durrdevil!! 1v1 today?

[quiet stream]

I have.... spin class.

[obsidian wyvern]

or more yoga 🙁

[quiet stream]

Yoga tomorrow

@obsidian wyvern I played a ctf today, and didn't quit

It was boring and crap. As expected.

[pulsar cobalt]

CTF is fun

even more fun when you got a nice team going

[hasty zinc]

rev we can 1v1 later

[pulsar cobalt]

Aegis you gonna win 🤣

[hasty zinc]

maybe

I'm still a little rusty

[wary dove]

Play husky raid

[pulsar cobalt]

husky raid should become one flag

[winter bison]

Egg, I want the Void Ultra armor coating.
I have a friend who has it, but when I go look at it, it says coming soon for me. plis egg I got money, I just put 11000 credits in the game, gib void ultra

[hasty zinc]

please don't call me egg

[winter bison]

ok gotcha

I still want void ultra tho

[quiet stream]

Why

[winter bison]

void ultra armor coating

[quiet stream]

Sorry I meant, why play husky raid

If there's an entire playlist for CTF it shouldn't be in other playlists

[winter bison]

husky raid is fun

[winter bison]

CTF and husky raid, despite both being capture the flag, have completely different playstyles and it wouldn't make any sense at all to mix the two of them

[obsidian wyvern]

IM STUCK AT WORKK

their website is stupid so I can't advance through a test on fraud that I HAVE to do by the end of today

[winter bison]

Lol

sadge momento

[pulsar cobalt]

Why can i not play Custom game firefight by myself and earn xp haha

[winter bison]

bc its not official firefight and you're alone

[pulsar cobalt]

Well i know its not official firefight

[calm fiber]

Match XP in Custom games requires at least 2 players, a match lasting 3 minutes or more and a positive personal score at the end of the game. More information is available on the Halo Support Site:

[fickle drift]

hellooo, im new here

[quiet stream]

Do u like halo

[fickle drift]

definitley

im not that high ranked yet tho

[quiet stream]

I don't even think I've ever played a single ranked match

[fickle drift]

dam really?

[quiet stream]

Not interested

[upper patio]

Good, you probably shouldn’t, it’s toxic and unrewarding

[fickle drift]

i think its makes it more interesting

[quiet stream]

I used to play other games and ranked seasons would give you exclusive stuff. Halo doesn't so I see no need to play it

[fickle drift]

what bad experience did you have☠️

[fickle drift]

oh ok dam

[upper patio]

I’m a diamond player. Trust me when I say it’s toxic

The higher up you get, the worse the queue experience is if you go in with randoms lol

[civic ivy]

Cortana is attractive

[fickle drift]

oh ok, Well i wont have to play with randoms if i succeed in what i came here for, (finding someone to play with)

[upper patio]

True. Golds have always been the most chill in my own experience

I loved queuing in gold, chill people

[civic ivy]

Yeah I agree.

[earnest umbra]

ranked is garbage anyway, itsn othing but players boosting

[winter bison]

I thought Lasky was attractive, and roland aswell 🫡

[fickle drift]

huh

[quiet stream]

Great, I will forget about it in the next 2 minutes, and never watch it

[fickle drift]

ummm.....

It's all in good intent

I didn't get the reference at first

[rare cedar]

IF YOU WATCHED THE MOVIE TOUD UNDERSTAND

[forest lagoon]

Of course you would love queuing with golds if you're a diamond rank

[molten pelican]

firstly you must find, ANOTHER SHRUBBERY

[winter bison]

Make me watch it, I dare you

[fickle drift]

..... old conversation

[molten pelican]

I wouldnt mess with panda hes pretty tactical

[rare cedar]

Watch it

[winter bison]

typical gen z attention span, 5 minutes ago and considered old

[forest lagoon]

Oh wow, I know how to scroll past a few minutes and comment on something I see! Amazing

[molten pelican]

new haircut? I dig it

[left bone]

5 minutes is considered old???

[fickle drift]

"back in my day we could stare at a wall for 5 hours and still be entertained"

[winter bison]

I have something even better but I'm not allowed custom emotes so I can't even defend myself, your acts should be considered war crimes

[molten pelican]

here we go

[winter bison]

there's a lot you can do with a wall

[fickle drift]

play wall ball, draw on it

[molten pelican]

you can protect yourself from heavy artillery fire

[fickle drift]

i think you are right

[winter bison]

exactly, that's the spirit

[left bone]

by painting it
carving it
drawing on it
use it for something
break it
run through it
make a hole in it
eat it

[molten pelican]

You can throw the wall at your attackers

[fickle drift]

EAT IT??

[left bone]

i like eating walls

[winter bison]

You can load the wall into your S7 sniper

[fickle drift]

wth

[left bone]

you should try it but it depends on the paint

its either sour or nothing

[fickle drift]

you could break it up and connect the wires to your disruptor and shoot it at people 🤷‍♂️

[winter bison]

I bet you're the kind of guy who can't handle going onto youtube and watching a 3 hour long video about halo lore

[left bone]

i cant believe i sat through an hour of a guy talking in a video

[fickle drift]

LMAO, youre right cuz i like the gameplay, respect the lore and love the community

[left bone]

that was fun

[winter bison]

installation00 makes good videos

[left bone]

halo lore made me fail a test because i didnt study

oh well

[winter bison]

bro relatable (I haven't been to school in over 6 years)

[wide sable]

Why am I being constantly kicked out of someone’s VC?

[fickle drift]

what halo did yall start with?

[left bone]

5

[fickle drift]

i started on halo 3

[left bone]

i wanted it because i thought it looked cool

[winter bison]

CE

[molten pelican]

CE

[fickle drift]

dang youre old asf

[civic walrus]

infinite, though the first campaign I played was CE

[winter bison]

honestly that's probably what 343's thought process was so I can't blame you

[muted rose]

You will cut down the tallest tree in this forest with… A HERRING

[molten pelican]

I love the little horror sound effects whenever they finish a statement lol

[forest lagoon]

Sure, but we also got to witness the video game evolution and enjoy every moment of it as it happened before us

[muted rose]

None have ever escaped the clutches of the knights who say ni

[winter bison]

I actually started playing in 2007 on h3's release. I was 5 years old lol.
My dad sat me down in front of the xbox and let me play halo ce, I liked it and asked him if there was a halo 2, and he said "Yes, you'll be able to play it once you beat the story of halo ce" and he did the same for every halo until halo 4, by which time I kept doing the same but on my own will.

[molten pelican]

stellar parenting, gotta go one at a time

[winter bison]

considering his severe drug addictions at the time, it's probable the best way he could've gone about it

[quiet stream]

1 and infinite the only halo I played.

[winter bison]

oh man oversharing again, not good

[left bone]

meow

[molten pelican]

alrighty

[wide sable]

Hey, is anyone else being forcibly moved to another vc if they try to join someone?

[winter bison]

how did you skip an entire flippin story lmao

[winter bison]

I'll create a vc and join me we'll see

[quiet stream]

I dunno. Something about some trees, gorillas and a naked computer.

[wide sable]

Ok

[fickle drift]

I actually started playing in 2007 on h3

oops

[winter bison]

lol

[fickle drift]

i started a thread

💀

i gtg

[winter bison]

you gtg

Sir, Curity Camera

[plucky island]

So why is Infinite's max controller sensitivity still so slow?

It takes an eternity to turn around

[winter bison]

turn up the acceleration

[plucky island]

It's at max, everything is

[winter bison]

you may or may not have an issue with your controller then

or deadzones

[plucky island]

It's not my controller, considering it's perfect on every other game

[winter bison]

what are your center deadzones, max input threshold and axial deadzones looking like?

[plucky island]

Default

Why should I have to change deadzones just to look around faster tho

[winter bison]

not the deadzones but the max input threshold could affect it

what controller are you using?

[plucky island]

Elite

[winter bison]

one or 2?

[plucky island]

2

[winter bison]

mine feels fine

[plucky island]

I'll try messing with deadzones

[winter bison]

are you on pc?

[plucky island]

For me the aiming is decent it's just that if someone's behind me I can't turn around fast enough to deal with it

[winter bison]

With more time you'll gain gamesense and learn how spawns work, ideally enemies should never be behind you

[plucky island]

If only the minimap wasn't in the bottom left

[winter bison]

it has always been there, on every halo

[plucky island]

I know, but even Bungie themselves knew that wasn't a good spot and changed it with Destiny

Should always be top left

[winter bison]

also go into the xbox accessory map and look at your joystick settings

[plucky island]

It's not like I can change the actual max input in there

The fastest the game will let you turn around is capped

[winter bison]

no but you can change the joystick curve and behavior

and max input threshold is an option in game

[fickle drift]

I'm left handed so I use the fire/shooting right trigger as left and use left button layout on the right trigger so it is easy for me to use the right trigger as left trigger mode to play fps games.

[winter bison]

I'm left handed and I don't

[fickle drift]

Believe me it feels way comfortable that way.

[plucky island]

Idk I thought this game was supposed to be so much better than launch but it's the exact same to me

[winter bison]

everyone's different, I know right handed people who play your way

[winter bison]

not being able to turn around quickly enough just sounds like a skill issue

if you don't have time to turn around on max sensitivity when someone comes behind you it might be that your reaction time is way too slow

[plucky island]

If the game let me it wouldn't be a problem

The settings just cap your turn around speed too slow

Compared to every other shooter, can't even flick

[winter bison]

dm me a video of you turning around I wanna see how slow it is, cuz there's no way it's actually on the right settings

[winter bison]

I can flick just fine, really does sound like something is broken

[fickle drift]

I remember when I played halo 2 on the original xbox. There is a setting that you can swap layouts so I used southpaw to swap the triggers.

[idle lava]

I feel like I knew this at one point but does anyone know if you can get the halo 5. Max level reward anymore

[frail walrus]

yes you still can

[winter bison]

of course you cn

[plucky island]

It's slow to upload give me a few minutes

[idle lava]

How would you acquire it in infinite? Do you have to do anything online

[plucky island]

Beyond that it's just like, there's no progression or anything to get in this game outside of the store

It feels very bland

[winter bison]

if you reach max rank you unlock an armor kit

[plucky island]

Yeah but that's not really good enough lol

[winter bison]

just have the same account on both, I think you do need to go on halo waypoint tho

[idle lava]

Ok

[winter bison]

rn that's now what matters the most, the gameplay is what matters

[idle lava]

Thanks

[plucky island]

I disagree, the gameplay is too slow anyways

Idk why people praise it so highly

Guns don't reward you for hitting headshots until their shields are gone

[candid solar]

A wall is not very good defense against heavy artillery bombardment. A trench is far superior but likely still not enough.

[plucky island]

It's not like I'm bad at Infinite regardless I got diamond a few seasons ago I just don't like the gameplay

[candid solar]

Well, yeah, that's kind of the point of shields. Congrats. You found the secret.

[winter bison]

lol

[plucky island]

Still makes the skill gap compressed

Puts the emphasis on who can throw grenades first and better

[winter bison]

if you think halo infinite's gameplay is too slow you probably would hate halo 3, and as such I despise you

[candid solar]

I hate Halo 3's gameplay, but not because it's slow.

It is slow, but I also play Mechwarrior, which is slower.

[plucky island]

Yeah I didn't like that games pvp very much either

I like Halo 2 and Reach the most

[candid solar]

https://tenor.com/view/massage-chair-chair-furniture-comfort-chair-black-chair-gif-17192928

[plucky island]

Especially in comp I remember it being grenade throw simulator

And I got good at it, but I thought they were maybe gonna change things for the better after I took a year long break

Guess not tho

[winter bison]

they did change the ranked grenade spawn from 2 to 1

and they did nerf the grenades a whole lot

[plucky island]

That's good at least

[winter bison]

genuinely sounds like you're just ranting about old problems without even checking if they actually did fix it, turning slow, so game bad and old problems definitely still there

not to mention the new bandit evo starts in ranked which made the skill ceiling much higher

[candid solar]

I mean, is that really more different than most people who rant and moan?

[winter bison]

true

[plucky island]

Considering all the progression was still bad I didn't think to check

And all the sweaty lobbies don't help

I sent the video btw

[winter bison]

the game's mmr is definitely broken atm

[plucky island]

Either that or 343 is just the next studio to fall prey to the SBMM plague thats going across the industry right now

[fickle drift]

Hot take time. There are no sweaty Halo Infinite players, only players who are better than you. Implementing Halo 2's 1-50 system would give lesser players (myself included) more enjoyable matches. The current system of pre-determined wins/losses has backfired tremendously.

[hexed geyser]

imagine in halo 1 if Master Cheif Broke the 4th wall for a tutorial like in Sonic Heroes or the Shadow game

[winter bison]

there are sweaty halo infinite players, and they're not always better than you. sweaty doesn't mean he's better than you, sweaty means he's trying hard, giving out comms all the time, getting mad at you for losing fights etc etc

there are obviously players that are better than you

that just comes with video games in general

[round laurel]

SBMM is not new.

[winter bison]

imagine

[candid solar]

Considering I literally only ever seem to hear comm from players who are legit just... Awful? And next to nobody's visibly partied up (You can check in the pause menu).

Not sure many people actually qualify as full sweats.

[wise cape]

sweaty to people nowadays = they beat me.

[winter bison]

full sweats aren't always good

[winter bison]

fr lmao

[fickle drift]

The last part, sure. But trying hard and communicating are both essential to doing good in Halo consistently.

[candid solar]

True. But I don't really think someone who isn't really doing much to try and win and is sputtering about how much they hate Halo Infinite's grenades because they can't cook them(???) isn't exactly a sweat either.

[candid solar]

It's literally been in every mainline title for decades at this point and people think it's new lmao

[winter bison]

in ranked yes, but trust me I do a lot better when I'm relaxed and silent, I mean from 20 kill games while trying to 40 kill games while relaxed against the exact same people

[candid solar]

Well, more than a decade at any rate.

[plucky island]

I think SBMM is fine in ranked modes where it belongs

But not in social playlists

[candid solar]

Yeah, like back in Halo 2 and 3.

[winter bison]

the problem is not sbmm, the problem is how it's currently implemented in halo, doing well will get you punished and put you against impossibly higher skilled players

[plucky island]

Also idk why people are claiming I'm bad I'm ranked diamond last time I played so

I just think the game could be wayyyyy better

[winter bison]

diamond is like silver in valorant

[candid solar]

You can be a decent player and still be less capable of intuiting a system deeper than skin level than someone else.

[plucky island]

So you're saying the ranked system is bad then? Because it's only Onyx after that

[winter bison]

It's mainly a playerbase problem

[plucky island]

Well that diamond was at launch when the max amount of people were playing

[candid solar]

Amusingly, I've seen more allegedly 'good' players fail to understand a matchmaking system than allegedly 'bad' players.

[winter bison]

playerbase is lower and henceforth players can climb easier

[fickle drift]

I guess our experiences are different. Used to do Halo 2 doubles with the same partner years ago, and we worked well together. We would win regularly, which I can't do solo.

[winter bison]

same, seen low onyx people say the bandit evo didn't belong in ranked

[plucky island]

I actually like ranked now that I'm playing it but it's the only fun part of the game right now for me

[candid solar]

But then I feel like most players of most shooters even at high levels of play would actively suffer in an attempt to pour water from a boot if the instructions were on the heel, so.

[plucky island]

How tf are people instantly turning around he's gotta be on mouse and keyboard

[winter bison]

the avg halo player is plat so diamond is like slightly above average, low onyx is good and 1700csr+ is seasoned players, 1800-1900+csr is around where the best players hang out

[plucky island]

The only gamemode I don't like in ranked is capture the flag tbh

[winter bison]

CTF is a stable of halo gameplay and halo without CTF wouldn't be halo

[plucky island]

So chasing people around is fun?

[candid solar]

I think I last got plat 5 back in Season One, but I literally only played enough to hit rank and then I basically forgot ranked exists because I cannot think of a more pedantic and boring way to play Halo outside of like, only Grifball grinding a'la Reach.

[winter bison]

if all you see in ctf is "chasing people around" it truly shows you lack experience in the gamemode and can't see the actual skill it takes to master ctf

[plucky island]

Maybe I just don't find it fun lol

[candid solar]

That's a very grandiose way of saying 'learn to PTDO.

[winter bison]

lmao yes

[plucky island]

What are y'all even saying what are these acronyms

[candid solar]

Play The Damn Objective

[winter bison]

play the damn

[plucky island]

Oh, ew

[winter bison]

beat me to it

[fickle drift]

CTF lives and dies by its maps, in my opinion.

[winter bison]

bro if you hate objective based games just don't play halo and leave us to our fun

[plucky island]

What I want is a good extraction shooter tbh

[candid solar]

NGL, anyone who says 'ew' to objective play cannot be trusted to have a truth in their body regarding how they view Objective based modes.

[frail walrus]

Let's pump the brakes a bit here on comments that are only going to instigate

[winter bison]

truth

[plucky island]

That is true because I hate objectives that don't serve to drive gunfights

[candid solar]

... I am suddenly really missing Battlefield 1 because I could severely punish people on the enemy team who refused to PTDO.

[left bone]

meow

[plucky island]

The only purpose of an objective is to make people have to fight each other instead of camping

[winter bison]

there's always ranked slayer, you don't have to play objective if you don't want to

[plucky island]

And CTF promotes the opposite of that

[winter bison]

god no

[candid solar]

You don't win if you don't flag cap, ergo you must go on the offensive.

[winter bison]

mhm

[plucky island]

The only way I've seen people win CTF is by being sneaky and avoiding gunfights because they can't shoot with the flag

[winter bison]

that's low skilled players for you

have you even seen high ranked competitive gameplay?

[candid solar]

Yeah, that's kind of the point of being a flag carrier. It's a team mode.

[winter bison]

teamwork baby

[candid solar]

Personal glory isn't worth the toilet paper it splatters on.

[fickle drift]

Never got three guys in a vehicle before?

[winter bison]

4 players, one with the flag, juggling for speed, 2 protecting him, one making sure the enemy doesn't get our flag, teamwork

[plucky island]

Well that's BTB which is different

[left bone]

btb capture the flag

[candid solar]

I really really hate flag juggling, tbh.

[left bone]

i steal the flag when one flag juggles

[winter bison]

I love it but I suck at it, like absolutely suck

[left bone]

player: "boy oh boy i sure love making my team win-"

me:"yoink"

[winter bison]

and then loses bc of you

[candid solar]

IDK, I just think it's goofy as hell and kinda beats the purpose of sprinting and walking being stealth v nonstealth because it's basically just sprinting with the flag but way better.

[left bone]

:trollface:

[winter bison]

you can't deny that good juggling mixed with movement shows higher levels of skill

[candid solar]

Good thing that isn't what I'm arguing then.

[left bone]

i like making halo players mad

[quiet stream]

Is MM completely borked?

[left bone]

because i think its funny!!!

[candid solar]

It really doesn't take much to make a Halo fan angry

[winter bison]

you must make yourself mad very often then

[left bone]

nah

[winter bison]

saying ctf is bad for example

[left bone]

i just like causing trouble

its what i do basically

if its ctf and someone's flag juggling, i either 1
steal their flag

or 2, drop it in the endless void of the map

[winter bison]

I hope honest to god that you don't play ranked

[left bone]

fool

[candid solar]

Ehhh, stealing the flag's fine. Losing objectives like that, though, I'd be reporting you and encouraging the rest of my team to do the same.

[left bone]

lol

[winter bison]

you know damn well 343i doesn't look at the reports

[left bone]

what makes you think i play ranked

[winter bison]

I said I hope you don't

[candid solar]

They do, lmao. It just hedges your bet when people are on the same page about it.

[left bone]

oh

[plucky island]

I wish I could force myself to like this game because I bought my series x specifically for it back in 2020

But I don't think it's meant to be

[candid solar]

Buying a console for a specific game is dumb and silly.

[left bone]

why say that?

[plucky island]

Halo was my childhood

[left bone]

low iq moment

[winter bison]

not everyone likes good games I guess

[candid solar]

Ooooooh, my heart bleeds for your childhood.

[plucky island]

Ouch

[winter bison]

I don't wanna come across you in ranked

[plucky island]

At least I can still play MCC

[left bone]

however

i'd buy a different console if my friend is not willing to join in on the xbox stuff

just to play in the same platform as them

[plucky island]

Yeah that was definitely part of it too

[left bone]

most my friends play playstation and all they play is madden, 2k, and call of duty

[fickle drift]

I was smart and stuck with the One X. Learned not to trust 343i in 2014.

[candid solar]

I just swapped to PC because I figured I might as well have something all in one.

[left bone]

...now i know that im not missing out on annything.

[left bone]

why?

[plucky island]

Tbh those games are getting more appealing the older I get

[winter bison]

I like to win

[left bone]

i mean, 2 of those are just lame sports games

and call of duty?

..idk what activision's doing wit it anymore

[plucky island]

I didn't mean those games in particular just more "turn your brain off" games

[left bone]

oh

[plucky island]

And it's not like games are as good as they used to be, or they'll have a massive glaring problem preventing me from liking them like forced 30 fps on starfield

[left bone]

what

[bold sparrow]

You grew old. Happens to all of us.
Invest in nerouplasciticty supplements and mental health supports so that you can relax the calcification

[left bone]

i cant tell the difference from 30fps to 60fps

like
i dont care for frames honestly

[candid solar]

Wait, there are supplements for that?

[left bone]

what are you even sayinh

[round laurel]

Yeah, I feel like my brain adapts to the lower frame rate after a few minutes. It's fine in anything that isn't a competitive shooter or racer tbh.

[smoky token]

who here owns airpods

[dusky swan]

Unfortunately, yes I do

[smoky token]

which ones?

[dusky swan]

First gen

Not pro

[plucky island]

I'm 19 bruh

[steady jolt]

Me, 2nd generation I think

[round laurel]

Still great advice.

[left bone]

what

[smoky token]

2nd gen pro or default?

[round laurel]

"Still great advice."

[left bone]

im confused

[round laurel]

We know.

[steady jolt]

Default

[candid solar]

Neuroplasticity is basically helping your brain to react and change more readily in response to fresh stimuli.

Mental Health is important because it also helps keeps your nerves and mind fresh. A happy and disciplined mind is an effective mind.

Finally, getting older can calcify sections of your brain, impeding synapses and making you slower to react and think.

[left bone]

what

[dusky swan]

Goodness gracious

[left bone]

volcano?

[flat vigil]

bruh

[left bone]

what??

[dusky swan]

[left bone]

what was it?

what???

[candid solar]

I was pung

[left bone]

what??????

[obsidian wyvern]

I would make a joke about your message count but I'm likr triple yours

[left bone]

i dont understand

[candid solar]

I'm gonna assume whatever I was pung for was an insult.

[dusky swan]

There was once a time where I'd dwarf your message count

[quiet stream]

How come every BTB there's always a normal team but then one leet hyper mega player with 35+ kills? Every team always has one guy who has 15 kills more than even the guy with the 2nd most

[obsidian wyvern]

was that when the hw channel was a thing lol

[flat vigil]

Look at these janitors deleting my messages

[dusky swan]

Okay

Chill please

[left bone]

what janitors????

[vocal vector]

hi, i got a problem with my game, it doesn't launch and a popup window say "the game is blocked"
what do i do?

[elfin glacier]

1984 tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

the Respawn janitor

[left bone]

im still confused and i dont know what youre talking about

[flat vigil]

The ones under you bed at night

[left bone]

what?

[elfin glacier]

janitors = mods

[sinful karma]

How to not get hate messages on halo 1. suck at the game 2. get hate messages 3. be extremely respectful causing sender to feel bad 4. new friend

[fickle drift]

They know they're just pretending to not understand to troll people.

[candid solar]

Some people thrive in understanding how the teeming masses of people playing BTB can fail to do simple things like secure power weapon or vehicle spawns, and thus thrive on culling hordes of gullible and inattentive fools en masse.

[left bone]

theres monsters under my bed??

what???

literally nobody understands you

[flat vigil]

@left boneYou've said "what" 175 times in this server congrats

[left bone]

stop saying nonsense or speak english for once

[elfin glacier]

[candid solar]

[bold sparrow]

Also presumably those are the ones who really want Hero because ISpiteful got it already.

[elfin glacier]

huh?

[left bone]

what is it now??

[twilit vector]

If you ever bought those store Carmel apples
Make sure to eat them within the week you bought thek because after that they go bad real quick

[candid solar]

Not gonna lie, I autoquit the second I know there's a partied hero or several partied high Onyx leveled players in a lobby now. I am never in the mood for that dumpster fire.

Y'all wanna talk sweaty?

[naive linden]

😎

[twilit vector]

My mom bought camrel apples a few weeks ago to have on Halloween

They should not be black

[winter bison]

I have sony wf-c500 instead, I prefer sony's way of going about it

[twilit vector]

So now I'm going to have to explain to my very angry parents why Carmel apples kept in a fridge for 3 weeks arnt not safe to eat

[bold sparrow]

Havent seen the emblem proper myself but, yeah.
Its like Inheritor in Reach, you see that skull, you bail.

[winter bison]

do your parents not know how biology and food work?

[naive linden]

I got a killtacular in BTB what have you guys got?

[winter bison]

are they flat earthers or smth?

[candid solar]

By the end of Reach's life back in like 2014, it actually wasn't that bad.

[winter bison]

killtac in 4v4

[naive linden]

Noice, I never got that before I don’t think

[twilit vector]

Idk
I try to explain to them but they act like im a idoit

[left bone]

a flat earth would never work

[candid solar]

Just let them do it and save up that I told you so

[winter bison]

I know

[winter bison]

well, I can assure you, you are not.

[naive linden]

Has anyone got the master chief armor kit mark vi, if so how long did it take u ?

[left bone]

no, its going to take me a year.

[twilit vector]

Of course they always go for the
They cost alot of money
Oh idk probably would of been smarter to buy them off the day you planned on eating them

[winter bison]

there's about 20 people in the world that have it and it took a very long time

[winter bison]

Fr lmao your parents are weird

[naive linden]

Wut no 😟 , I really want it

[rare cedar]

Im in platinum now

Idk how far I am

[winter bison]

I'm in plat aswell, then there's diamond, onyx, and thennnn hero

[twilit vector]

The label says
10/10/23

So yeah definitely 100% expired

[winter bison]

lol

[pulsar cobalt]

you could do it in 3 months if you play for 12-15 hours a day

but who has that time

[winter bison]

I've been playing 12 hours a day 4 days a week for 3 weeks and got to mid plat

[twilit vector]

So by the math
My mom bought them in 10/3/23

[winter bison]

probably

[twilit vector]

Well dont you just love it when your boss calls you to come in but you cant drive and the person who dose drive left like five hours ago

[winter bison]

don't come in, ez

[upper patio]

See if I’m scheduled a day off, it’s a day off. Phone off and enjoying the day lol

[pallid island]

Can i send something

Peak edge is on sale atm

[fickle drift]

I'd assume a retired person who still plays Halo

[hardy agate]

hello

[winter bison]

or someone with money(like me)

[bright shoal]

Guys, I have a hot take.

[winter bison]

no you don't

[bright shoal]

Oh yeah?

Chimera is my favorite core. 😈

I'd send my Spartan if I could.

[winter bison]

It's not a hot take, lots of new players love chimera

it's just hated by people like me who like the og art style
