[smoky token]

ah, took that new Razor Train our combine overlords set up, huh?

[cedar turret]

last train to clarksville?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

wanna make it a 3 way fight rok

[amber mirage]

Sure

[obsidian wyvern]

the band is all here

[amber mirage]

We're missing one

[obsidian wyvern]

who's our missing piece

[amber mirage]

I don't remember. I jsut know it's a 4 piece

[obsidian wyvern]

begin whenever

[fickle drift]

post it somewhere else and send the link

[rare cedar]

rev got domed 😮

[obsidian wyvern]

rok is probably laughing at how bad this map is considering how far 1v1 maps have come since I built this lol

[slate veldt]

lft halo

[rare basin]

I’ll forget about it it’s not working

[amber mirage]

I've never actually done 1v1s before

[slate veldt]

in general chat

[dreamy stirrup]

hey @slate veldt you should check out hte LFG category

[cedar turret]

you never answered me. What is it you're trying to post?

[rare basin]

McDonald master chief

I have idea

[slate veldt]

kk

[rare basin]

Look at my pfp

I kind of mixed it up. I didn’t mean master chief.

[rare cedar]

sry had to get pizza

[cedar turret]

If it's halo related content (not a meme) that you created and comports with the rules here you can use an image hosting site and post a link in #1076327824924872755

[dreamy stirrup]

i think he is having trouble uploading it somewhere

try instagram, twitter, imgur

onedrive

[modern remnant]

hi i have a question, is ther a toggle or setting to disable the aim assist/friction for mnk

[rare basin]

I don’t have any of those

Just discord

[dreamy stirrup]

onedrive and imgur are free

upload the image to your friend

then paste the discord link

[rare basin]

K

[dreamy stirrup]

okay but try again in #1076327824924872755 🙂

i have no idea if an icloud photo will embed but we're about to find out!

[night mango]

Ok

[round laurel]

Your full name is public on that link.

[dreamy stirrup]

great catch

[rare basin]

Damn

There’s got to be an easier way

The show and tell is not giving me an image option

[faint mantle]

Let's watch it together when it drops

PLEASE (Unless you're watching it with the fam first)

[dreamy stirrup]

as i have said a few times now, you need to paste a link from another source

we do not allow direct uploads for obvious reasons.

twitter, instagram, imgur, onedrive, etc

[rare basin]

I will try

[dreamy stirrup]

or, you can DM it to someone and then paste the discord link

🙂

[cedar turret]

You're and this isn't #1076327824924872755

[rare basin]

I’m going to bed

[ruby pecan]

omg Uny's famous

[hasty zinc]

not sure if bug, but all the emblems are a liiiitle too far to the left on the Mark V kit

[frail walrus]

i've noticed that too

[tight remnant]

I've noticed that three

[frail walrus]

just a weee bit

[hasty zinc]

so much that it's overlapping to the undersuit

[cedar turret]

You ever look at 125,000 piece lego castle and notice one brick has a crack in it?

[hasty zinc]

I hate when that happens

[wild sleet]

Me when I look at Bionicle joints

[modern remnant]

hi i have a question, is ther a toggle or setting to disable the aim assist/friction for mnk

[hasty zinc]

nope

[fickle drift]

The emblem is hiding

[modern remnant]

do we know if there are any plans for a toggle like that? it really throws me off whenever I try to play

[obsidian wyvern]

aegis

[hasty zinc]

yo

[hasty zinc]

nothing has been mentioned

[ruby pecan]

it's also bugged where if you change the emblem color palette it'll unequip the kit entirely.

[obsidian wyvern]

you free to play fn with rok and panda

[hasty zinc]

I'm gonna be honest

I really dont feel like playing anything tonight

besides Halo dress up

I'm re-doing every core

except clownmera

it's already looking good

[tight remnant]

I wish we could do poses in-game

[hasty zinc]

I wish HSC victory coating was cross-core

[wild sleet]

So does Fiesta just like have 3 of the same maps but different themes?

[fickle drift]

Could we get like double xp for career rank or something

The lack of any bonus xp stuff makes the grind incredibly boring and not worth it

[hasty zinc]

I mean you could just play the game normally and you'll unlock it eventually

just play what you find fun

[fickle drift]

I’d love to play ranked but nobody plays it

[muted rose]

Oceania doesn’t have a large halo pop unfortunately

I’d imagine the ranked scene is pretty small

[fickle drift]

The people who do are so far away so I’m at a huge disadvantage and that would mean less xp

[fickle drift]

There is none as far as I’m aware

[muted rose]

Yeah it probably isn’t worth playing tbh you’d have so much ping that you couldn’t hit the wide side of a mammoth tank

[fickle drift]

Anyways halo 5 had xp boosts

Why can’t infinite

[muted rose]

It does

In the bp

[hasty zinc]

they're not for career XP

which is what they want

[muted rose]

Oh mb

[fickle drift]

This whole thing about “just play what you want and it comes gradually” is a dumb statement, mw2 has career progression as well (1250 levels) but even they have xp boosts and double xp events for it

Some of us just want to grind it out if we want, whether others think it’s stupid or not

[hasty zinc]

I understand what you want, but that isn't possible right now. So the best thing you can do is play how you want

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cedar turret]

How is it dumb to actually enjoy the game rather than trying to overclock the sparetimeometer

[hasty zinc]

or if you want to min-max xp too, then go for it

[candid solar]

Seems weird to me to care so thoroughly. Mark VI is cool but not that worth it, and ranking up otherwise has no tangible benefit to you.

[fickle drift]

What I enjoy is hitting max rank and then having the freedom to do whatever I want with the added satisfaction of hitting the top/having a bonus attached to it

[wild sleet]

I just care for Mark V, Hero Rank can wait

[candid solar]

Ultrafast gratification really has caused some serious rot, huh?

[fickle drift]

Yeah I noticed that

[candid solar]

It's like a truck so damn rusted through that I could make the truck bed fall off with a swift kick.

[fickle drift]

My bad

[cedar turret]

You can do whatever you want now.

[fickle drift]

I just want to use my 150 xp boosts for something

[cedar turret]

They still work for the 120 battlepasses

[fickle drift]

I’ve finished them all

[cedar turret]

wait a while and a new one will come along.

[hasty zinc]

then bank them and enjoy the quick blasthrough of the next pass

that's what I do

[feral galleon]

Can you get that nameplate that is featured up in this discord?

[cedar turret]

the compass one? Log into mcc

[fickle drift]

I just either grind or buy the BP, xp boosts would be nice to use on career as well as battle passes, seems super dumb that we can’t

Surely this’ll be added sometime soon

[feral galleon]

The one up top for this discord has like master chief by the water

[fickle drift]

Yeah just turn on MCC

[hasty zinc]

yes, just log into MCC

it's auto granted upon login

[fickle drift]

^

[cedar turret]

for now at least

[hasty zinc]

yeah

[wild sleet]

Speaking of MCC, can we update the featured items already

[dire palm]

love it when my team mates rage quit

[fickle drift]

Only mode I’ve played since the start of season 5 is husky raid lol

[fickle drift]

No team working on MCC anymore

Otherwise it would’ve been done already

[dire palm]

think they are still bug fixes and such on mcc, its still active.

[candid solar]

Good lord, that sounds awful.

[steady jolt]

Yeah, there's still folk working on MCC. Digsite crew are still doing work

[fickle drift]

It does, but it’s the only efficient mode I can find games in that gives good xp

[candid solar]

It's really not the only one.

[hasty zinc]

does btb still have the multiplier?

[candid solar]

Affirmative.

[fickle drift]

Btb although it has the bonus multiplier is entirely luck based since my team always has issues with looking up and getting power vehicles

[halcyon mica]

My first experience with Husky Raid was getting farmed while the enemy team delayed capping their last flag for five minutes.
10/10 best game mode.

[candid solar]

NGL, anyone who can play husky raid and not just find it to be the most trash mode in the world right away strikes me as... Weird.

Actually, no, Grifball is still kinda worse.

[dire palm]

was okish but a weird playlist

[hasty zinc]

I love Husky Raid

[fickle drift]

So it’s either get spawn camped for 1-2k points in 15 mins or play husky and get 2-4k points in half the time

[hasty zinc]

it's just chaos and I'm a fan of that

[steady jolt]

H5 Husky was just all out insanity

[cedar turret]

It's fun on a bun. Like a chicken sandwich

[steady jolt]

I loved it

[obsidian wyvern]

they should bring back the halo 5 husky raid map shaoes

[fickle drift]

All the other modes like infection, team slayer, ranked are all dead here so I only have that mode to play anyway

[hasty zinc]

Halo Infinite Castle Wars plz

[halcyon mica]

I dunno if I've got rose-tinted glasses on but classic Grifball in Reach was a lot of fun.

[dire palm]

love getting ranked oddball back to back

[hasty zinc]

glad to hear it!

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I'd love to have castle wars in mm

[dire palm]

^

[hasty zinc]

I also really liked Breakout too

[dire palm]

if only they brought back the Saw from halo 4/5

[ruby pecan]

If only they brought back a lot of things from 4/5

[hasty zinc]

like the didact 🥹

[wild sleet]

Bring back the Brute Shot & the better Carbine

[dire palm]

This

[hasty zinc]

and the Plasma Caster of course

[valid karma]

yo

[hasty zinc]

sticky det etc etc

[feral galleon]

Ty

[feral galleon]

Foreal I'm missing 3 of the first set of stances smh

[fickle drift]

I’m missing some golden skins for CE weapons

Speaking of weapon skins I think it’d be cool if you could do commendations like 1000 kills with a specific weapon and it gets a special skin to show off

Idk maybe I’ve just been grinding too much cod

[wild sleet]

Man I'm just having an insane loss streak & only getting like 1 win

[fickle drift]

Play something else then

[neon halo]

I’m sorry but I was that guy in h3 that grabbed the hammer only to knock people off

[dire palm]

Jenga towers was fun

Garbage man, Fat kid

[neon halo]

Chubby child

[hasty zinc]

Halo 3 Tower of Power

and that train one with the containers over the water

on Last Resort

[analog knot]

Still is!

[rare basin]

Fus ro dah!

[dire palm]

glad we got ranked arena but do miss the Halo 2 ranked games

[rare basin]

“Me is me and I is I so I is me and me is I”

[fickle drift]

Is there a reason that every time I log into Infinite it brings me to the settings menu under the Accessibility Tab? Over 15 times so far! Geez...

[obsidian wyvern]

I prefer this name ngl

[dusk swan]

hey im a noob here, what does the orange tag on the extraction 247 gamemode mean? is that 2x career xp? (INFINITE)

[wild sleet]

Featured Playlist

[dusk swan]

ah so thats it?

[plush isle]

does the bonus xp for owning the premium pass only apply to the live season? currently finishing some seasons i never got around to and wondering if im missing out by holding off on the live seasons for a bit

[worthy ginkgo]

Any one find game fuel in Cali yet?

[halcyon mica]

Where would be a good place to report a spelling mistake on the Halo Waypoint website?

[dreamy stirrup]

what's spelled wrong?

[halcyon mica]

Rakshasa is spelled "RHAKSHASA" in the Season 5 Operations section of this webpage https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite

[dreamy stirrup]

great catch

i'll flag it

[halcyon mica]

Can't wait to try out that Grey Hunter cross-core coating on the 17th though 😋

[lethal narwhal]

Hey does anyone know where to find the codes for the Mountain Dew exclusive rewards on the 12 packs? It doesn’t look like the code is on the can itself.

[ruby pecan]

inside the box

on the handle-side

[simple wave]

Happy early birthday to Halo 2 🥳

[ruby pecan]

maybe we'll get Mk-IV for Halo Wars 2's birthday in February

I know I shouldn't get my hopes up but hhhh.

[civic walrus]

it’s the cool new thing 343 just released and the playlist won’t be there sometime

[halcyon mica]

If Mk.IV ever gets released, I hope it's as a core rather than a kit so we can customise the helmets. That, or it releases as a kit and kits get retroactive cross-core helmet customisation, because both the Mk.IV and Mk.V suits in The Fall of Reach comic show Spartans like James, Fred, and Malcolm wearing EOD, Commando, and what looks alarmingly like the Volant helmet in both Mk.IV and Mk.V Mjolnir.

[simple wave]

Oh I have not heard about mark IV.

[prime ruin]

I’m really hoping someone here can help me. My friend has never played halo before so I’m trying to walk her through the story. But she needs right stick X inverted. Is there any way to do that on MCC. Ik you can in infinite. She can’t play without it being inverted. Plz help.

[cedar turret]

just go into settings

[dreamy stirrup]

you can button map yes

i think you want southpaw settings?

[halcyon mica]

I think Look Inversion is a setting available in MCC. You might need to scroll for it.

[cedar turret]

it is.

[prime ruin]

Seems it’s only y inversion

[hasty zinc]

lol this is great

[dreamy stirrup]

no there's def both

[halcyon mica]

Oh, X-axis inversion. I missed that. Sorry.

[dreamy stirrup]

@prime ruin look at stick layouts

one of them inverts it, IIRC

otherwise, use the xbox accessories app to remap it

[prime ruin]

The Xbox accessories app only inverts Y axis 😦 southpaw switches left and right sticks. The issue she is having is when she points the stick to the right she wants to look left. Vice versa.

[simple wave]

Highly accurate lol I’m keeping this kit on

[dreamy stirrup]

interesting.

she might try the other stick layouts to see if something works better. or maybe try kbm

but it looks like i was incorrect and you, in fact, cannot swap the x axis which kind of surprises me

infinite lets you

[prime ruin]

That’s what’s crazy to me. Infinite lets you but MCC doesn’t

[dreamy stirrup]

well i mean

MCC was older games brought forward

[prime ruin]

Correct but, accessibility throughout would be super awesome.

[dreamy stirrup]

i don't inherently disagree

however i can see why they aren't 1:1 parity and, unfortunately, i don't believe that is something that can be addressed at this time

[shrewd glen]

so how many people can you have in your party when playing ranked?

[dreamy stirrup]

less than 32

hope that helps!

[cedar turret]

how many people do you know?

[shrewd glen]

well i was wondering if there was a fireteam restriction when playing ranked slayer or arena

like can you play with a full fireteam of 4 people if you are all platinum ranked

[dreamy stirrup]

i honestly cannot remember off the top of my head

[prime ruin]

Thank you Sam. I really appreciate it. Tbf I didn’t expect a 343 Dev to answer my question.

[dreamy stirrup]

no problem, i wish i had a better answer

i do suspect that x axis inversion is a very, very small percent of the playerbase so GG to your gf for being unique 🙂

[shrewd glen]

i tried reading the halo infinte page and it doesnt make any sense i understand the CSR increase and all of that but it only says its restricted to just 2 people in a fireteam after onyx level 1600 so does that mean you can have a full fireteam until that point??

[dreamy stirrup]

i would interpret it that way

[split phoenix]

hello! new to the server. Is this where we can discuss MCC?

[dreamy stirrup]

here, #1076337363770417172 , or #halo-discussion

also welcome 🙂

[sly junco]

UH is halo 2 audio broken for anyone

[split phoenix]

Thanks! I was curious about how many ppl actually play MCC. I've been playing it recently and I have a hard time finding matches in Competative matchmaking

[sly junco]

nvm fixed it

[dreamy stirrup]

it can be hit or miss depending where you're playing from and what you're trying to play

but it's generally fairly healthy

[exotic nest]

fix the desync and terrible netcode, add some classic maps to btb and remove the bad ones, bring back assault instead of stockpile, and Halo Infinite will be cooking

[muted rose]

I used to think that permanent suspensions were harsh for quitters

I used to

[smoky token]

just had possibly the best D&D game ever

it was supposed to be a short simple session cause the DM had a headache

purely through the increasingly idiotic actions of my character and nothing else, we ended up catapulting into a 5 hour session that resulted in 3 character deaths, including my own

and we also almost lost the mcguffin entirely

everyone was laughing their asses off the whole time but they are also extremely pissed at my late character

[muted rose]

D&D sounds fun right now

[tiny escarp]

[floral pollen]

this sentence is peak D&D

[gritty musk]

Anyone else having issues creating their account to redeem the Mountain Dew points?

[void magnet]

Really really curious to see the extensive networking fixes whenever they come around

If they re-introduce more momentum I’d send a pizza

[obsidian solar]

That seems borderline impossible, either that or the dice gods hated you today

I haven't had a session that chaotic ever

[candid solar]

Wow, you play D&D, and yet you don't play in the fun server you also moderate in, that I also DM in?

Classic betrayal, Titan, I am quite sad.

[obsidian solar]

What if we just got everyone in here who plays dnd to play dnd together all at the same time

[floral pollen]

that would get chaotic

Initiative would prolly take like an hour if we didn't kill the thing in like 3 turns

[obsidian solar]

Your right

But what could possibly go wrong?

[floral pollen]

Who knows

[limpid ferry]

Has anyone else here been experiencing random crashes with Halo Infinite?

[fickle drift]

note never join and sing in this discord btb vc

people dont like duvet boa

[fickle drift]

Only when joining a custom game with a lot of lagg

Normally firefight

[brittle spindle]

Heyo everyone, how everyone doing?

[candid solar]

Honestly, if I were doing a DnD DM sesh in the official Halo Discord-most of you would be on the chopping block.

[fickle drift]

yea dont wanna be in that call must stinky crazy in there

[candid solar]

So that '3 turns' would quickly result in half the party dying to a sentinel beam.

[candid solar]

Seiously, if I had to deal with 6+ people, most of y'all would end up like Marines in a Halo campaign.

Very, very dead, very fast.

[odd juniper]

Hey does anyone know how the UNSC transports mammoths and elephants to different planets? The question just passed my mind randomly today

[zealous spear]

Hey my career rank is infinitely loading. Why, is this a bug I could fix. Will I continue to earn exp

At the end of matches it’ll say 0 exp to 0 exp it’s like I don’t have a rank

[candid solar]

By throwing them on ships with bays suffecient enough in size to support their sizes.

[odd juniper]

Yeah but what kind of ship you think will be used

[gritty musk]

Forklift, 4 to 8 of them. One for each tread. In seriousness though possibly similar to how the Forward until Dawn lands to drop off the tanks in Halo 3 or possibly something larger than a pelican to move it

[odd juniper]

Ok thanks just really curious on it

[south sundial]

Hello

[gritty musk]

I will say a pelican does have a very high transport weight. If I remember correctly it can in theory tow a scorpion. But I believe a vulture could also lift one. But for the mammoth it would probably be something like a frigate or other transport ship/shuttle that’ll move them from point to point

For instance the Ibis class freighter or the Endeavor class Assault ship

But there’s an halo encyclopedia that lists a bunch of ships and their jobs/designations

[odd juniper]

Ok cool I’ll look it up

[gritty musk]

No problem, I have too much halo info shoved in my brain to let just sit there (not all of it true but it’s there)

[pure meteor]

That's a funny little banner

[floral pollen]

Pelicans can lift a Scorpion
I think in most Halo games we see a Pelican with one at least once

[gritty musk]

Yeah I could swear I’ve seen one lifted by a pelican, possibly in reach during the big rush on the shield tower. Or maybe halo wars, a lot of the unsc’s logistics was established in that game

[floral pollen]

In Infinite you can see it quite a bit if you play BTB, or have played the campaign

[ruby pecan]

Pelicans are capable of dropping in Rhino's too

[limpid ferry]

Would we still be able to retain all rewards upon reaching Hero Rank after season 5 concludes?

[fickle drift]

I bought lone wolves battle pass

[gritty musk]

That be a good pass I tell you wot

[gritty musk]

I’ve almost forgotten pelicans drop stuff in btb

[livid fractal]

Hey, how are people able to break crates in the prism map on infection?

[gritty musk]

Ngl I’m waiting for someone to make drop pods in forge. Imagine a invasion style map with that spawn mechanic

[livid fractal]

I keep getting flanked by players destroying the crates behind me, and when I try to do it they won't break no matter how many times I stab them with the energy sword

Thoughts?

[obsidian wyvern]

people have

[tropic belfry]

bro

[ruby pecan]

@tropic belfry This is not the place. We're not going to do that here.

[obsidian wyvern]

of course it's a mint blitz video

[ruby pecan]

It's also old

[obsidian wyvern]

oh lol

[ruby pecan]

Halo 5's been aggravating me lol. Played infinite so much and adjusted I'm awful at 5. keep fumbling a lot of stuff,

FOV and sens differences don't help either lol

[fickle drift]

Yeah they should have added an fov adjustment to 5

[ruby pecan]

I wish it'd honestly come to PC and get series x enhancements. but.....alas.

kinda illogical to release a self-competing product after all.

[simple wave]

You can get your Back At It achievement today by loading up a game of Halo 2!

[tropic belfry]

it's a 7 day old video m8.

[tropic belfry]

do what?

sorry i thought this was a halo chatroom

[ruby pecan]

call for boycotts and such. This is not the place.

[tropic belfry]

bruh this is general.

[ruby pecan]

Also considering Destiny is not Halo

This server is not the place.

[tropic belfry]

Bungie was Halo, relevant

mostly just weapons

[tropic belfry]

u use anything but magnum & snipe?

[ruby pecan]

forgot how to use the plasma caster for a bit

[tropic belfry]

bruh lol

[ruby pecan]

forgot you could just quickfire it

[obsidian wyvern]

always forget how to use the incineration canon

[tropic belfry]

i forgot that existed

[ruby pecan]

was so used to the Boltshot from 4 that it threw me off when it did the burst tracking shot instead

[tropic belfry]

i wish i had better internet

I'd be stomping infinite

[ruby pecan]

I managed to get 600-700k xp today though before it finally stopped finding games for me an hour ago.

if I continue at that rate I'll be SR152 in 97 more days.

[tropic belfry]

oh yea i forgot that was a thing

same thing happened to me on Reach, i stopped at the rank just before max

[ruby pecan]

the Watchdog weapon coating is cross-core now

[tropic belfry]

sooo

[obsidian wyvern]

i want watchdog
i dont want to play 5 for 200 days

[tropic belfry]

is watchdog the black with the red trim?

[ruby pecan]

black silver white and red trim

[obsidian wyvern]

100 ig

[tropic belfry]

dayyyyyyum

[tropic belfry]

99 days. make it 100

u only need 1 more day

[neon halo]

Hmm thousands of hours of grinding mid game or spending $20 dollars

I’ve made my choice, neither😎

[tropic belfry]

we need quake back

[round laurel]

Do people not play Quake Champions anymore?

[cedar turret]

They released a quake game this year

[fickle drift]

Yeah exactly why I bought it first 🗣️

[smoky token]

I always RPed my character correctly rather than trying to pick whatever is the most optimal route

[proud dirge]

Can someone explain why i often join a game with 300 ms 😄 its getting really annoying...

[rare cedar]

is your search preference expanded?

[proud dirge]

Where can i look this up?

aaah nvm, got it!

[molten pelican]

why is it going to be 80 here today

[hasty zinc]

73 here today

WAY too hot

[rare cedar]

69 here

[hasty zinc]

I don't get it

could you elaborate?

[fickle drift]

[near tree]

The meme lords arbitrarily elected a couple funny numbers, for no particular reason

[hasty zinc]

what's funnier than 24?

[obsidian wyvern]

flipping the numbers and adding 0

[hasty zinc]

incorrect

[near tree]

42 + 0 = 42
Is the comedy in it the act of adding 0, putting in the effort to change nothing?

[hasty zinc]

the answer is 25

do you guys even watch Spongebob?

Can you write me an 800 word essay explaining the cultural significance of that episode?

[hasty zinc]

absolutely

this is what I have so far

[candid solar]

A Scorpion is dropped off by Pelican in Halo 2's scene where Johnson announces the lore that he is Cupid.

[muted rose]

I single handedly would get us killed on the first combat roll

but why not play Mythic instead

actual halo rp

[hasty zinc]

ugh is it friday yet

this week is dragging

[candid solar]

I'm kinda... Not into Mythic's balancing.

It's not awful but I'm not a huge fan of it either.

I'd probs make my own homebrew.

[hexed geyser]

Happy 19th Anniversary to

[normal owl]

Same. We're in the thick of this quarter's client review meetings season and it is hell. I am exhausted.

This year is the record for earliest I've had to set an estate plan execution appointment into the following calendar year.

[dire palm]

Not yet one more day

I love getting Ranked Oddball .. Or getting ranked Stronghold with teammates shooting the ceiling. So much fun

[hasty zinc]

glad you're enjoying it!

[hexed geyser]

what should i do celebrating halo 2's Anniversairy

[hasty zinc]

eat 12 poptarts

[hexed geyser]

i dont have them

[hasty zinc]

then I'm all out of ideas

[gritty musk]

Personally I either play some halo 2 mp or run campaign again

[dire palm]

[normal owl]

the pumpkin spice ones are surprisingly good

[hexed geyser]

yeah but the only halo 2 ver i have is the one that shall not be named

[hasty zinc]

you will never catch me eating anything pumpkin flavored

[normal owl]

I was skeptical, but eating them warm out of the toaster really surprised me.

[hasty zinc]

GROSS

[normal owl]

NET

[hasty zinc]

PROFIT

[normal owl]

🤝

[gritty musk]

Unfortunate, that’s why I have 2 copies for the OG

[dire palm]

I put my poptarts in the freezer

[hasty zinc]

that sounds okay

I eat my uncrutables frozen because it makes them 10x better

[normal owl]

hey whatever makes you happy. It's not like they're fresh culinary darlings.

[normal owl]

I read that those are growing like crazy in sales.

[hasty zinc]

probably because of me

even though they are liars and they DO have a crust

which I still have to pick off

[normal owl]

The only bread crust I enjoy is Walmart's Italian or French bread. Soft and chewy and flavorful.

Sorry, Paul Hollywood, but I love soft & chewy crust way more than your evangelized crispy shell-like bread crust.

[forest lagoon]

I was going to say "what about me" but then realized, yeah, I full on deserve it

[gritty musk]

Anyone thing 343 would add a grifball playlist or just a straight oddball playlist?

[forest lagoon]

Whoops, chat loaded funny. Were a long way away from that lol

[forest lagoon]

Thank you Mr. Attorney sir

[forest lagoon]

I just started doing that! surprised how good they are

On another note, I found my 7of9 Borg eye prosthetic so now I need to figure out how much one of "those people" I want to be on the cruise

[hasty zinc]

[normal owl]

You would be the coolest voyager on board.

[hasty zinc]

[hearty bronze]

Meow

[hasty zinc]

I love Seven of Nine Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01

[hearty bronze]

True

[normal owl]

She legit turned the series around though.

[hasty zinc]

I hope not, if they got turned around they'd never make it back home

[hearty bronze]

Literally

[normal owl]

now I'm hungry for pop tarts.

Skyfi are you for real cosplaying on the cruise though?

[forest lagoon]

Last time we wore uniforms for formal night for fun, it was a blast

[normal owl]

That does sound fun!

[hasty zinc]

what's the name of the ship?

[normal owl]

the Enter Prize

[hasty zinc]

is that a California class ship?

[normal owl]

the Starred Eight

[vapid siren]

i was pinged and i swear it instadeleted

and icant find it

[forest lagoon]

Grandeur of the Seas

[hasty zinc]

@vapid siren

[dire palm]

Specially the chocolate ones are the bomb

[normal owl]

[hasty zinc]

there you go hawk, found it

don't be so careless next time and leave your pings laying out so they get lost

[molten pelican]

detective mr halo on duty

[molten pelican]

we expect more responsibility from grown adults

[hasty zinc]

exactly

[vapid siren]

inshallah

[hasty zinc]

I'm not even getting paid for this babysitting

[molten pelican]

smh

[dire palm]

May or may have not bought some SSG gear with my paycheck

[molten pelican]

we shall never know

[dire palm]

Nah I did lol

[molten pelican]

ah the great mystery has been solved!

[normal owl]

That's crazy that they accepted your paycheck as I assumed it was made out to you and not to whichever retailer you purchased from.

[hasty zinc]

what a quick turnaround of events

[gaunt igloo]

yo

[hasty zinc]

hello again Mr. Bauer

[gaunt igloo]

hi

[normal owl]

boop BOOP boop BOOP

[gaunt igloo]

yo anyone wanna buy gaming equip

[hasty zinc]

yeah that's not allowed here

[gaunt igloo]

ok

[hasty zinc]

it's why your post was removed for advertising your shopfiy page lol

[gaunt igloo]

bruh sad

[normal owl]

more like their flopify page

[hasty zinc]

ayooo

[molten pelican]

womp womp

[forest lagoon]

I had to scroll to find it, but this was us last year

[hasty zinc]

how does having a cartoon face IRL affect your quality of life?

do people stare?

[forest lagoon]

The flatness planes me, but otherwise it's ok for the most part. Just drawn to it at this point

[hasty zinc]

lol nice

[amber mirage]

At least you'll never need a flathead screwdriver

[normal owl]

That's excellent. And those are nice high-quality threads too!

[wild sleet]

Got my Mark V kit, my $30 went to the shadow realm

[normal owl]

I thought they said they were going to unbind kits' individual components in the future? If so, that could be a lot of fun.

[forest lagoon]

That's what I'm hoping for

[candid solar]

Oh, I only partially meant out of spite.

A really good idea I saw once for paring down massive group DnD games is having the first few seshes be split parties assigned to squads, who are put against odds where many members will die.

Until you're stuck with a small 'core' of players.

[forest lagoon]

Oh I know, and I've picked on you enough lol

[candid solar]

Fair.

[muted rose]

DnD battle Royale when?

You use the little army guys with parachutes to drop in

[tall hull]

Hey guys. is anyone else having a really long wait time for ranked slayer?

[limpid ferry]

So my only question is this what happens to the Hero Rank rewards for those who are not able to achieve Hero Rank this current season?

[amber mirage]

They can achieve them later

Hero rewards aren't locked to seasons

[twilit vector]

Yeah today sucks

[wild sleet]

Career levels aren’t Seasoned Based they’re just your personal level

[twilit vector]

I just got fired

[tall hull]

sorry to hear that @twilit vector

[limpid ferry]

I’m still like 6,107 matches away from Hero Rank currently sitting at Platinum LT Colonel Grade 2.

[twilit vector]

So there keeping the meth head but firing everyone else

[wild sleet]

I’m at Platinum Grade 3 Lieutenant

[twilit vector]

I hope that place fails now

[rare cedar]

Did you get fired or let go

There’s a difference

[twilit vector]

I definitely no longer employed there anymore and was told to pack my stuff because im longer needed

[limpid ferry]

My average Score per game is roughly 1100 to at times 1500

[twilit vector]

Im still dropping by tomorrow to pick up my paycheck

[wild sleet]

Grab your paycheck & leave a middle finger for them to remember you by

[tall hull]

nah be respectful, no point leaving a bad impression

[twilit vector]

So cant wait to see the guys face tomorrow as he noticed
That i owned the microwave. The fridge ,the radio and the coffee maker

[tall hull]

Break room is about to be mad boring next week

[rare cedar]

[twilit vector]

And the ice cream machine and smoothie Maker ( yes we have thoses)

[tall hull]

but anyways, is anyone else having terrible queue times for ranked slayer? I havent played ranked infiinite before, is slayer even the proper ranked playlist

[wild sleet]

Man somebody going to be eating their hot pockets cold

[twilit vector]

All thats left is just the table

[tall hull]

cut one of the legs shorter so its wobbly too

[rare cedar]

Ranked slayer is the rotational ranked playlist whereas Ranked Arena is the main (permanent) one

[twilit vector]

And chairs
Oh i so cant wait to see how they realize i was responsible for everything

[tall hull]

Thank you sm! Can finally start investng some time into halo again haha

[limpid ferry]

Imagine you owned the table too then they’d be left with an empty break room lol

[molten pelican]

imagine you owned the breakroom.

[simple wave]

Run through the campaign today play some multiplayer

H2 ain’t that bad compared to others

[forest lagoon]

He was the break room

[tall hull]

whats the state of the game like atm, are people generally happier with it now or is this more a dedicated fan base

[simple wave]

People are a little more satisfied with halo infinite.

[tall hull]

Thats really good to hear

[limpid ferry]

People sending the middle finger to anyone buying the new CE Mark V Kit is just sad no one should be told how or not to spend their money.

[forest lagoon]

Custom games are a blast

[wild sleet]

A lot better than before, Season 5 for me definitely picked up the pace

[twilit vector]

With the stuff i owned i pretty much did own the breakroom

[hexed geyser]

is anyone else gonna celebrate H2 day

[pulsar cobalt]

Really good tbh but something still feels missing commendations is what infinite needs also

[simple wave]

I haven’t beaten it on legendary solo in 10 months…

[mortal bone]

Hi everyone, i'm in search of code for some ingame halo infinite stuff, if someone has some it would be so nice. Here is a code for 1 month game pass for you guys hope you enjoy it CFMQ7-J6CKG-QVG44-623D3-XGQCZ

[wild sleet]

Might celebrate Halo 2 by getting my old 360 & playing the Halo 2 disc on it

[normal owl]

Agreed. People very weirdly think that economics occur in a magic bubble for in-game purchases despite what's been happening everywhere else for consumers for years lol.

[solar root]

Everybody go Superbouncing on Halo 2 today!! Lots of tutorials on YT on any map you can think of!

[hasty zinc]

zanzibar sb best sb

[wild sleet]

People flip the bird that I bought the Mark V kit I’ll just flip them back

[hexed geyser]

thats the Nov 9th Spirit

[molten pelican]

yes sirr

marine corps b day tmrw and veterans day the 11th we got ourselves a tactical weekend here

[solar root]

To the wheel? Or window bounce to the roof?

[limpid ferry]

Do we have any confirmation from 343 of when we can expect to see the Armor sets from the Halo TV show enter Halo Infinite?

[hasty zinc]

window to roof obviously

[wild sleet]

Not sure about Armor but helmets it’s possible

Then again I’m sticking with Mark V until I reach Hero Rank

[limpid ferry]

Same

This is quite literally the best looking Mark V iteration we’ve ever had since the very Bungie original.

[tall hull]

how do you get it?

[simple wave]

18 dollars of credits.

[limpid ferry]

Shop for 2200 Credits

[wild sleet]

Sacrifice your wallet

[simple wave]

Yep 18 dollars is 2200.

[tall hull]

aw what

[normal owl]

To the window
To the wall!

[tall hull]

thats killer

[pulsar cobalt]

I would love if kits can have more customization especially helmets and gloves

[molten pelican]

wait the store is that expensive

[limpid ferry]

Still cheaper bundle than Fortnite’s everything like 26 to 30 dollars

[simple wave]

If you have the platinum anniversary coating, it almost makes you look og.

[hasty zinc]

I'm rocking void ultra on mine, looks sick

[wild sleet]

Im just rocking default because I’m basic

[normal owl]

So happy it became available for purchase!

[hasty zinc]

oh it did? good!

[normal owl]

Yeah just like a week ago!

[wild sleet]

I do hope they fix the emblem placement on the Mark V kit though if that’s possible

[limpid ferry]

I mean for the first time in Halo History we can finally rock the Real Genuine Master Chief Green from the campaign era.

[hasty zinc]

yeah I'm going to submit a ticket for that emblem thing today

[pulsar cobalt]

I think emblems should have a shoulder chest or helm slots

[obsidian wyvern]

idk if it's just me but emblem pallette colours don't have names anymore

[wild sleet]

If they ever include Mark IV or H4 Mark VI Mod I wouldn’t wear anything else anymore

[hasty zinc]

Prefect armor would be a perma armor for me

[twilit vector]

Or have have it also go on top of the attachment

[pulsar cobalt]

And that

[obsidian wyvern]

I would probably use prefect a lot

[simple wave]

The new kit is absolutely not coming off

[limpid ferry]

I’d love to have the Halo 4 and Halo 5 Campaign Mark VI helmet and chest armor in Halo Infinite.

[hasty zinc]

just look at this beauty

[wild sleet]

The kit stays on, just give me Cadet White already lol

[worldly ravine]

So for season 5, when you reached the level 50, you should get some code that makes it possible to buy the backpack. Is it only for people who bought the pass?

[pulsar cobalt]

huh

[limpid ferry]

I’d like a solid black armor coating with no accent colors.

[obsidian wyvern]

they are not giving white or black free lol

[pulsar cobalt]

of course they are

in time they will

[dreamy stirrup]

You can’t get to 50 without purchasing

[obsidian wyvern]

you can't advance past 20?

[worldly ravine]

I am on level 50.

[wild sleet]

I have enough bags as it is

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah that wouldn't make sense, it should let you advance to 50 but u don't unlock anything

[worldly ravine]

I have completed the entire season without the pass.

[normal owl]

[dreamy stirrup]

The free pass is front loaded

But also I completed mine and also don’t have a code so I’ll poke around later

[limpid ferry]

I think there’s a major glitch with the Halo Gear Shop there’s absolutely no way even with my discount code that the Halo Back Pack is $1,117

[hasty zinc]

the backpack should be 140

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I mean you can get to tier 50 right, but don't unlock anything past 20

[wild sleet]

Sheesh 3:31am & I’m still playing Halo

[hasty zinc]

the 117343 price is a meme price to prevent people from purchasing

[worldly ravine]

So will the code require purchasing the pass?

[dreamy stirrup]

Oh I see what you mean. Sorry

[obsidian wyvern]

nws

[dreamy stirrup]

I don’t think it should but I can’t remember

(I’ve had a messy week)

[worldly ravine]

Oh, okay.

[dreamy stirrup]

I’ll check in a bit:)

[worldly ravine]

Understandable.

[pulsar cobalt]

Hey sam where can i find the season 5 wallpaper at 4k 🙂

[hasty zinc]

we need a PRESS KIT

[dreamy stirrup]

There is one in the launch blog

[hasty zinc]

with S5 wallpaper and Operation wallpapers 👀

[limpid ferry]

If that’s the case it worked as in that’s why I haven’t bothered to redeem or purchase any of my Halo Gear Shop rewards lol

[dreamy stirrup]

Do y’all not read them lol

[obsidian wyvern]

do u want a code kanister

[hasty zinc]

wait there's a press kit there

[dreamy stirrup]

Always

[forest lagoon]

What is "read"‽

[dreamy stirrup]

Facts

[hasty zinc]

haha I was just testing you guys, hahaha you all fell for it

don't you feel silly now

[worldly ravine]

Codes usually sound pretty nice if there is a prize.

[obsidian wyvern]

Sam yk that waypoint blog you made on husky raid, were all the maps supposed to be in matchmaking

[dreamy stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/reading-sign-cant-stop-me-no-one-can-stop-me-gif-13921932

[candid solar]

I wonder if anyone's bought it for the meme price.

[obsidian wyvern]

there's that forerunner map that never made it in

[dreamy stirrup]

Were they not?

Which one?

[hasty zinc]

sam getting flooded with questions this early lol

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm out rn so can't get the blog, but it's the only forerunner one there

[hasty zinc]

hope you had coffee

[pulsar cobalt]

Oh haha thanks sam, didn't see it down there must of missed it 😂

[dreamy stirrup]

Someone send me one please

I like how Rev thinks I’m gonna remember a map

[obsidian wyvern]

this map actually

[candid solar]

Sorry, best I can do is pumpkin spice cold latte from Starbucks.

[dreamy stirrup]

Ew no

You basic

[candid solar]

Yeh

I also have peppermint

[dreamy stirrup]

Actually Dunkin has a cookie butter cold brew that’s divine

I wonder if I have time to go get one

[hasty zinc]

I remoted into someones' PC today and they had a wallpaper that said "PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING <3" I almost hung up

[candid solar]

I finally sat down and started to read Outcasts. Gotta say, I'm... Mad I didn't binge read this earlier, lmao.

[limpid ferry]

Meme price actually had me convinced, missed out on getting all my cool rewards from Halo Gear shop

[dreamy stirrup]

Should have changed their wallpaper

[pulsar cobalt]

I can send you a nice tea from England might be cold though 😂

[dreamy stirrup]

It’s good!!!

I read it in like 4 hours

[candid solar]

I'm a bit over halfway so far, around the part when [redacted] has his face get smashed by [redacted] while [redacted] was fighting.

[obsidian wyvern]

just got home and my hadd are freezing

[limpid ferry]

Could you imagine if the actual Halo Infinite Store advertised everything with meme prices, fans would be in an immediate outrage lol

[wild sleet]

Finally ordered myself a Nintendo Switch so I got something to play when I’m too lazy to get up & turn on my Xbox 🤣

[forest lagoon]

Redacted is my fave character!

In so many different things

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah super cold haha

[candid solar]

So it'd be a day that ends in Y?

[wild sleet]

There’s always April 1st

[forest lagoon]

Everything in life is a meme at this point

[hexed geyser]

wait which book told us what happend in the gap between Halo 2 & 3

[hasty zinc]

the halo graphic novel

[wild sleet]

What an extinguish gentlemen

[forest lagoon]

Why sitting so proper like?

[limpid ferry]

Will armor cores continue next season and onwards or are Kits replacing them?

[dreamy stirrup]

Other times he does this so it’s a balance

The bed is clearly upside down

[forest lagoon]

Maybe he heard about the cool side of the pillow

[worldly ravine]

Looks like I received the code to the backpack now.

[dreamy stirrup]

Oh it was removed Rev

[obsidian wyvern]

damn

[wild sleet]

Thankyou

[obsidian wyvern]

looks nice

[worldly ravine]

Quite expensive backpack.

[faint mantle]

Sam have you met my aunt's dog?

[obsidian wyvern]

why is it flat

[forest lagoon]

To match my 2D head

[faint mantle]

Because bad people

[pulsar cobalt]

Nice cat picture aegis 😄

[dreamy stirrup]

He looks like trouble

[hexed geyser]

did his dog got ran over by a warthog?

[obsidian wyvern]

[hexed geyser]

is that why its flat

[obsidian wyvern]

oh right

[forest lagoon]

It makes sense, but out of context lol

[obsidian wyvern]

she was just bought from ikea

[hasty zinc]

thanks, it's his urn

[limpid ferry]

So if the items on Halo Gear Shop are memed price does that mean if I to actually click check out that it would swap to reveal the true price?

[faint mantle]

Some of these dogs have selectively been bred to have a flat snout, it was a tendency for a while, but now it's been outright banned due to animal cruelty

She can't go out a lot because breathing is very labored

[forest lagoon]

We were joking about the pillow not the doggos nose. But sad pupper snoots

[obsidian wyvern]

[dreamy stirrup]

Oh sorry. I default to male dogs because that’s what I’ve had my entire life

[obsidian wyvern]

once you purchase it, your bank will tell u dw

[wild sleet]

No you have to meet a certain requirements in the game to get the code that has a discount price, Bungie does this as well with Bungie Rewards

[faint mantle]

Dw, there was no indicator

[forest lagoon]

I've only had one female and now know why they are called that word

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[forest lagoon]

She's super loving to da hub though

[wild sleet]

Same way my insurance company reacts to me hitting a Ferrari

[obsidian wyvern]

uve got competition

[hexed geyser]

Speaking of Dogs What if Isabelle met The Cheif

[obsidian wyvern]

i cant tell if i missed another joke

[forest lagoon]

It's ok, I'm lost too

[limpid ferry]

My dog won’t allow me to put anything on him other than his collar and leash

[hexed geyser]

i miss my old doggo 😢

his name was Mattias

he died of old age

[wild sleet]

Oh I’m hearing birds that’s a sign to sleep lmao

[high forge]

Hi guys, need a little help. Has anyone else claimed the ingame rewards for the mountain dew/doritos codes? I just claimed mine and it said I will get an email about how to get my reward but havnt go anything.

[faint mantle]

Not even winter sweaters?

[hasty zinc]

the emails can take a bit to receive

just check in 30 minutes

make sure to check spam/junk folders too

[ruby pecan]

ok. that is super scary

that looks almost EXACTLY like my rocco did when he was a young pup

[high forge]

Thank you! Just wanted to make sure I hadn't done anything wrong!

[hasty zinc]

you're welcome, all good

I should give some more away today

[faint mantle]

Pup overload

[faint mantle]

Oh the other one

[ruby pecan]

Frenchies and their radar dishe-....er..."ears"

[faint mantle]

I've never seen them that way but now that you mention it...

[worldly ravine]

I am pretty sad that the season 5 backpack costs 130€.

[ruby pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/radar-dish-world-meteorological-day-observing-radar-monitoring-gif-20801812

when they hear something behind them

their ears just swivel like that

[worldly ravine]

Shipping included it would be 165€ for a backpack.

[ruby pecan]

it's available until January 24th I believe. so you have time

[worldly ravine]

I don't want to use that kind of price for a backpack.

Yes, it seems to have pretty good quality and it looks good.

[ruby pecan]

most decent and rugged/durable packs are 100-200

[worldly ravine]

I already have a really good backpack.

So I will probably end up selling or giving the code for someone else who is ready to pay that price.

[jaunty yoke]

Why is Halo merch often so... bland?

[dreamy stirrup]

@soft oak you can check out #1076334026090094602 however be mindful of the guidelines there 🙂

[normal owl]

Personal tastes in style just vary across the full range from person to person. I prefer understated stuff as I'm not keen on doing homework on a school lawn with big colorful words all over my shirt and a distressed bag covered in a chainmail of patches that really explain what I believe.

[molten pelican]

give me your frog rn

[soft oak]

I do apologize!

[dreamy stirrup]

all good!

you're new, it happens 🙂

[fickle drift]

i wonder, who owneth this server?

[hasty zinc]

343

[fickle drift]

ah yes my favorite person, 343

[dreamy stirrup]

i don't know why people ask this

if we wanted everyone to know, we'd leave the crown on

[fickle drift]

aha, gotcha then

[hasty zinc]

yee

[idle moss]

got a ranked question. how are the number of points given for a win or loss determined? is it purely based on k/d ratio regardless of if you got points for any of the objective type actions (e.g., captures, ball time etc.)? I ask because every game I seem to only get +6, +7 for wins and then -10 for losses, while other teammates are getting +9 and more for wins and -6, -7 for loses for the same game

[amber mirage]

It's based on a few factors and isn't so straightforward. It accounts for your predicted performance, your actual performance, and the skill levels of your teammates and opponents.

[fickle drift]

hoping for a few snow maps when winter comes

[idle moss]

so if it predicts I'm going to get 10 kills and 10 deaths, but get more kills and less deaths then I'd get more points conceptually?

[amber mirage]

Essentially.

[fickle drift]

Eloo

[fickle drift]

Cute doggo

[pallid island]

https://youtu.be/T9wJQcOiQOo?si=ZLmSrkXGY1ux61DH

can someone explain to me what happened to the AI in this clip

[hasty zinc]

he was just coming down to your level

[fickle drift]

Good Noon

[pallid island]

I need to replay da halos.......... specially reach since i only played it once

[fickle drift]

Get MCC then

[pallid island]

I literally have it though????

Literally is how i got into the halo

[steady jolt]

Once is more than enough for Reach
Some may say... too much 😛

[fickle drift]

Heresy

[pallid island]

though tbh i got spoiled of reach story, not for the original trilogy though that one was awesome

[faint mantle]

From the beginning, you know the end.

[pallid island]

well for the original trilogy kinda of, i got a bit spoiled of the beginning of halo 2 that we were to met more of the covenant insides (something that should have been done in CE tbh) but thats about it

and more that we were gonna play as the arbiter and get elites as allies later

idk they are such long games and fun games (except halo 2) that i couldnt wait to see videos about it 😬

[timber sleet]

Question about fire unicorn. I got featured on Instagram, but I submitted my info using the form that was linked on the Halo Spotlight forum post. Is that ok?

[rare cedar]

Yep

It’ll take some time for 343 to review the forms and verify

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/TKLx.gif

[hexed geyser]

I boosted the sevrver

[gritty musk]

Agreed but also CE was more of a proof of concept. Good game all around considering how many times they changed direction

[tired wraith]

I can’t find the gif but insert Dutch “amen” phrase

[turbid urchin]

I agree, lets get him stripped, Henceforth, You Shall Be Known as Darth...Vader. Oh wait wrong series, Henceforth, You Shall Be Known as Arbiter.

[bold sparrow]

Sear his flesh, just the way we like it

[faint mantle]

Congrats, you're wasting money!

[amber mirage]

I wouldn't consider something that was always intended to be a standalone experience to be "Proof of Concept"

[fickle drift]

There's such a thing as money?

[faint mantle]

Boosting the server does nothing for you or for us because we're a verified and partnered server, so please give your boost to a server that actually needs it

[fickle drift]

I've been in my cave for too long

[hexed geyser]

ok

[delicate fog]

The flood is really fun to draw

[gritty musk]

If you’re replacing the games I would recommended playing through reach, then CE, 2, ODST, then 3, 4, 5(if you really want to), and then infinite. If you don’t mind rts games then play halo wars first and throw halo wars 2 between 3 and 4. But that’s just how I do it because I like to play them them “chronologically”

[turbid urchin]

I respect you for making halo 5 optional in ur list

[gritty musk]

This is true but in general the game was more so what could we do with it. The story was solid enough to build on and the end left it open to make a second game, not as cliffhanger has halo 2 was but also from what we know now is that 3 was supposed to be part of 2’s storyline

[gritty musk]

Thank you. I beat it on legendary when it was released, was I super happy about it no. But also it is relatively important for the story, doesn’t make sense half the time but it’s important. The MP was really good though gameplay wise and forge though

[turbid urchin]

my respect for halo made me play it, otherwise i wouldn't even look at it

[gritty musk]

It was my anger at that time but now it’s more of a lesson, development ya know. I respect it as a game and time that devs have taken to somewhat fix things but the story felt a little lost at points for me. I will say Buck was my favorite part of the campaign but I’m also a little biased since ODST is my favorite out of the series

[turbid urchin]

idk what it is about odst, I felt a lot more badass playing as a Rookie odst than I did playing as Spartan Locke. Playing as an ODST in a city that's about to get glassed gave a very tense and ecstatic feeling knowing you are not powerful at all and your efforts have very little impact, yet you're trying what you can to get by

[gritty musk]

343 fixed a few things or atleast got the story back on track once infinite came out but still I feel like a lot of info was left out between the games that could have been interesting, even though I feel it was a little lost

[hasty zinc]

idk, in ODST there was nothing you couldn't do that a spartan could

plus IIRC you had more shields and health than Chief in H3

the only thing that really changed for me was how weird you threw grenades lol

[turbid urchin]

exaclty theres nothing you could do a spartan could, it gives perspective

[hasty zinc]

that's not what I'm saying

[gritty musk]

My thoughts exactly, if not badass I felt more so afraid when being faced with bruits and hunters. Sure it’s still the halo engine but it definitely takes a lot more punches at least on legendary to take one brute down, hell a grunt can take 4-5 smacks to the face.

[hasty zinc]

the gameplay didn't stop you from doing anything because you weren't a spartan. It played the same basically

[fickle drift]

Elo

[pallid island]

I CANT PLAY HALO 5 BRO IM ON PC

[gritty musk]

Plus how grounded it felt in contrast to being a Spartan made me feel more connected to the rookie and his squad. It’s similar to how it felt with reach but still reach was a power fantasy despite how tragic it was. Reach was the reminder that even Spartans aren’t invincible

[hasty zinc]

plus IMO rookie was one of the worst characters in the series

[pallid island]

and no, xcloud doesnt count, i dont play fps with a gamepad

[gritty musk]

Both fortunate and unfortunate

Still it’s kinda optional

[pallid island]

And infinite i dont have the money yet lol

[gritty musk]

Felt that, I was using gamepass for the campaign

[turbid urchin]

i played it on legendary yesterday, i got smacked by a brute and went flying

[pallid island]

and i was talking about replaying them, probably ill start on CE since for me is just the best one

[turbid urchin]

i went ahead and logged out

[fickle drift]

Elo

[hasty zinc]

bro you have to stop spamming that lol

[gritty musk]

That’s completely fair, CE is still very good

In my ranking it goes ODST, CE, then 2

[pallid island]

and tbh the worst one which probably aint gonna replay never is halo 2

[gritty musk]

Legendary is so damn hard on 2

Especially with the Mcc

[pallid island]

heroic still has those stupid difficulty spikes for no reason

[candid solar]

They originally were going to go even harder into the weaknesses of being Rookie. I wish they did tbh, considering you're actually stronger than Chief in some ways in ODST.

[pallid island]

and is not even difficult, is just cheap death that you never saw coming

[gritty musk]

Since plasma shots are tied to fps

Playing it on console is slightly easier though

[candid solar]

For example, this is one of the goofiest parts of ODST I hate the most.

It's literally easier than Halo 3 on Legendary.

[hasty zinc]

yeah it's really easy comparatively

[candid solar]

Somehow. It's baffling. You take more hits, and sure, your melee does less, but you hit as hard as Chief the second you pick up a spiker or brute shot.

[gritty musk]

I may have just gotten bad with my age

[candid solar]

Chief dies in one hit to a beam rifle. Rookie and the rest of his squad can tank one.

[gritty musk]

But I’ve always found 3 easier than ODST

[gritty musk]

That’s because the hit box is lowered for the ODSTs but the camera is still the same as a spartain

[candid solar]

No, it isn't.

Changing a model's hit box does not change the amount of damage it can take.

[gritty musk]

There’s a mod for mcc that fixes the models

[candid solar]

The reason is due to Halo 3 ODST's stamina system and health system, and how that is impacted in turn by the Beam Rifle's damage.

[gritty musk]

From my experience using it I have been one shot

[candid solar]

Either the mod is lying to you, or you're lying to me.

[normal owl]

I'm glad ODST didn't make you weaker than a Spartan. Didn't pay for Halo 3 DLC just to play as gimped Spartan.

[gritty musk]

I could have been low on health or my “shields” could have been down but that is my imperfect experience

[candid solar]

Honestly, that's the game's biggest flaw. It's just so... Well, half-effort.

[normal owl]

Agreed entirely.

[candid solar]

I love the story, because I think it's better than any other story Bungie ever made frankly-granted, that's a bar so low you couldn't trip over it if you tried, but the gameplay is literally just watered down 3 with a rudimentary redesign of its health system and random cuts to specific gameplay elements that didn't even do anything to 'make you feel like a Spartan' anyways.

[normal owl]

RookieVision

[hasty zinc]

I like that people liked the story but I found it to be pretty dull personally

[candid solar]

There's a reason I'm saying there's a low bar.

[hasty zinc]

mainly because of rookie, most of the time you're just aimlessly walking around as him picking up garbage and daydreaming

he has the personality of a wet rag

[gritty musk]

I will agree that it is half baked in some regards. The gameplay of 3 is still solid though, and the story is fairly gripping. Could they have done better, yes very much so but that’s across the series. The unfortunate aspect of the halo series is more how the person interprets the games. Shoot the biggest part of halo for me was community

[gritty musk]

He just a little guy, he trying his best

[candid solar]

Considering I vehemently hate the Halo community despite interacting with it frequently, or perhaps because I interact with it frequently, I can't see eye to eye on that last one.

[hasty zinc]

was* a little guy

[normal owl]

now he's a big boy!

[amber mirage]

They really missed the mark on that Rookie being a noir detective thing

[turbid urchin]

wdym is was ez lowkey

[turbid urchin]

gimped spartan lmaoooo

[normal owl]

Very much agreed. I remember realizing that this new and unfamiliar feeling growing inside me was Boredom With a Halo Game the first time I played through it.

[candid solar]

My beef with this statement is that it implies they made an attempt.

[amber mirage]

They sure made it sound like they made an attempt

Were it not for the achievement names and the ViDocs, I never would've guessed what their intent was for Rookie.

[pallid island]

Is not canon

In my head will never be

[turbid urchin]

yea the details couldve been way better, lots of potential for an odst to look cool, i wanted to feel like the dudes in that odst movie cutscene where they got their helmets on their guns

[candid solar]

Well, it's not like it could be in his head.

[gritty musk]

I’m more so coming from someone that grew up playing on pc with ce and 2. I didn’t get to enjoy multiplayer until the mp map pack for 3. So the community might have been better in the past past or possibly I just have nostalgia for finally getting to actually playing with people. But that’s just how I see it. I could be very wrong and the halo community has always been bad but I like to think otherwise and that atleast there’s some good parts of it. I’ll always say I miss chatting with people and what not over a game of grifball

[candid solar]

Cause that's currently splattered on a wall or two.

[pallid island]

DONT REMIND ME OF IT

[candid solar]

[hasty zinc]

rookie messed up. Not a good time to lose your head

[gritty musk]

I got stun locked by a loading screen. Gravemind was not a fun one for me

[normal owl]

That is sincerely a wonderful memory to have of Halo. It doesn't matter what anyone else's experience with the community ever was; the fact that you had a positive and lasting impression is awesome and I'm happy you were able to have that!

[turbid urchin]

the first halo game i played was halo 2, i despised it, not sure why

[pallid island]

imagine if you could control the rookie around that time..... imagine what the player would done to those innies.............

[turbid urchin]

i wish they added more for firefight in general for the mcc. more maps, modes, levels, in different games as well not just reach and odst

[candid solar]

Absolutely nothing, because it'd be a cutscene.

You'd have as much agency as Kat.

[pallid island]

crap youre right

[normal owl]

I only ever played with friends until 5, then I finally experienced the wider public Halo playerbase. What a...revelation lol.

[candid solar]

Oh, I'm sure that went over gentle for you.

[pallid island]

it would be a type of modern warfare cutscene tho

one of the key perks was the screeching static-y version of free Pandora via other people's mics and their music.

[candid solar]

I've been staring at this Goblin for the past 15 minutes and I still have no idea what I want to render it doing.

[fickle drift]

Son ya know how much this Gear Costs!?

[candid solar]

I instamute everyone tbh.

Nobody ever really says much of value, but then perhaps nobody ever did.

[rare cedar]

I can’t fathom how much I love Halo 2’s story and the one liners it provided

[timber sleet]

thank u!

[pallid island]

Tbh i wish in a different timeline ODST was the hardest halo ever just because you are an odst

[fickle drift]

Agreed

[faint mantle]

Shooting its blaster from a tree vine

[candid solar]

I'd love for a Halo game with mechanics kind of like Rising Storm or Insurgency, tbh.

And no, I don't mean Far Isle or whatever that Arma Mod is. Considering how some of their team acts, that thoroughly soured my disposition towards them.

[hexed geyser]

But would it still have the halo 2 callback?

[candid solar]

Mmmmn, thinking more serious than silly. IDK.

[hasty zinc]

doing their taxes

[regal chasm]

Honestly I have a hard time seeing an Halo game with a playable ODST/Marine not being hated for "not being Halo" if done realistically. The gameplay would need to change drastically for it to work.

[pulsar cobalt]

we have rak for a marine

[candid solar]

I don't follow.

[normal owl]

Marine for sure. Then, instead of Halo 3/Reach's special abilities, you would have various whining/complaints your character could utter.

[pulsar cobalt]

Just need the helmets

[candid solar]

Still don't follow.

Marines can't wear MJOLNIR, after all.

And changing your core doesn't change your gameplay.

[pulsar cobalt]

What ?

[verbal hawk]

wen firefight?

[candid solar]

Well, we're talking about a new game, not Infinite.

[candid solar]

14th.

[calm fiber]

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

[verbal hawk]

legit? LFG

[pulsar cobalt]

Spreading false information

[hasty zinc]

yeah they didn't confirm that date IIRC

[verbal hawk]

😢

[regal chasm]

Eventually is the most accurate date so far.

[hasty zinc]

[bold sparrow]

Make it dab.

Or in mid-Fortnite dance. That seems like something an Unggoy would do when piloting one

[pulsar cobalt]

Oh my bad my fault for not looking up haha

[candid solar]

Really? Huh. I thought it was the 14th because of joint ops was dropping around then IIRC.

[faint mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/shrek-you-thought-wrong-donkey-gif-14966485

[bold sparrow]

No official confirmation.
Just heavy speculation

[pulsar cobalt]

you assumed it was lmao

[candid solar]

Eh.

NBD, if I'm wrong I'm wrong.

i said elooo

[muted rose]

I find it funny people don’t acknowledge how noble went full stormtrooper after she died

Reach equivalent of “Just shoot in that direction.”

[gritty musk]

Excuse me, my roommate just won a 4090 and now I’m attempting not to cry… he doesn’t even play games on his pc

Correction he won an entire rig upgrade with monitor and chair to boot

[muted rose]

And he’s not going to use it?

[gritty musk]

Oh he’s gonna use it

[muted rose]

For Microsoft word maybe
