what about master chief agaisnt elite boi
cuz the thing is is that noble 6 and master chief fight would be extremely close so if we say that if master chief would win against xytan than i wouldnt exactly be super quick to say that noble 6 would lose
cuz like noble 6 did take on like 10 of the best elite warriors of the covenant army
fighting like a whole squad of zealots by himself

chief was better than 6

and here hes just fighting one elite

no longer extra XP for playing the featured mode? damn 343 really want people to start buying the XP boosts huh?

Operations is alright but this system of taking away or not the 4th slot challenge and bonus xp from the premium should be changed tbh

SBMM would require you be facing an enemy team with a skill rating. FF doesn't have that so they can't do SBMM like that.

Halo scaling is frequently super funky, especially if it's scaled off of the canon ground vehicles. I wouldn't take too great of stock in it.

IMC is WAY bigger

Find myself using the Commando & Bulldog a lot in Firefight since that’s all since that’s what Skimmers & Brutes use

The best enemy to find in my opinion is usually Ultra Skimmers, they can carry rockets around but they have common sense and don’t shoot you point blank with it
It’s usually just a free Spnkr
runic lintel
IMC is WAY bigger
Really?

commando is actually kinda crazy
night fern
Really?
Yes. The largest UNSC Frigate I believe is the Strident class which is 575 meters in length, 124 meters in width and 112 meters in height.
The IMC Separatist CIS Frigate is 825 meters in length, 426 in width and 243 meters in height

Halo vessels tend to be very big yes.
Mostly since they're built around MACs, A-10 style.
Whereas most Imperial vessels are more designed around the "naval warfare but in space" style of operations.

I'd say the UNSC pretty much outdoes them in that aspect
bold sparrow
Actually on MACs; inernal dampeners dont completely arrest kinetic motion when its interacting with an atmosphere right?
And for the most part Imperial ships are just a bunch of air filled compartments...
You hit one with a MAC slug and the entire ship is going to ring like a bell. You could probably kill crewmembers through direct organ rupture.
Interesting...

Honestly, I'm just finding this writing tiresome at this point. Sure, it's good, but holy crap, have a IV actually, y'know, KILL something for once. We know they can and we know you aren't afraid to kill named characters, but for the love of the rings, have it happen to someone who isn't a Spartan for once.
Set up some big Banished dude and have his head get ventilated by a IV with a stanchion or something, dammit.
bold sparrow
I feel like the series being rated T means they have to hold back on the actual capabilities of an S-IV and make them seem more like heroic figures and not. You know.
Living weapons intended to purgate whole squads in moments.
Seeing someone getting DUMPSTERED would be rather nice honestly.
candid solar
But on the other hand, they're perfectly happy to go "Oh the back of the Spartan's back was so ruined by a blade that he vomited blood on the inside of his visor and died"
I mean c'mon, y'all talk about Stone disemboweling a brute with her bare hands, why not give one of these former Halo 4 dudes the satisfaction?

That said, Uppercut's not really 'genius' so much as 'desperate'. A slipspace drive was more effective than a nuke could ever be due to how strong a capital ship's shields are.

Am I crazy or has the number of people being toxic in vc and cheating increased recently?
Infinite is my first Halo multiplayer game but I feel like I'm getting the tRuE early days of halo experience in this latest season, just based on the number of slurs I've been hearing recently
bold sparrow
More toxic, maybe. Cheating I doubt it.

Don’t be a hall monitor. Teachers pets aren’t exactly the thing nowadays. Just ignore em and carry on
Seriously just mute em. And you always leave a game if it bothers you that much. You can’t expect everyone to live to your standards but you can have standards enough to not be around people you aren’t comfortable around
dreamy stirrup
that's....terrible advice. you should absolutely not have to be subject to abuse.
if you're hearing slurs and unseemly comments, you should absolutely report them.
to xbox and halo support
if it makes you feel better, i have recently reported players myself 🙂

Firefight is so good

I've been playing since like season 2, took a brief break end of season 4, and it just feels like once a night we have a match where someone makes a game unbearable to play. I hate quitting games because it screws over the other people on your team usually so we stick it out and report after. It just feels like it's happening more frequently these days 🥲

I’m glad this game keeps getting better

if it's vocal, you should 100% use the new VC reporting from Xbox
if it's in text, grab screenshots and hit up halo support

Outside of one match of BTB on an Aussie server I haven't experienced anything negative. I don't VC really except with friends so maybe that's why.
ancient swan
Don’t know what the slur was. Personally I put all buzz words as filtered on my Twitch. So I don’t ever see it nor does anyone should anyone that joins my chat. Otherwise I mute everyone

i didn't join someone's party and they got so angry with me.

Did you just block em or mute em?

you're missing the point here.
what i did is irrelevant. because if he's doing it to me he's doing it to others.
the point is he shouldn't be doing it to anyone.

Gotta do both at that point

Tom Warren wrote a short piece on the Xbox filter system that’s supposed to essentially prevent people from harassing others
Is that in place? Or that still a work in progress?

Not sure that kinda information would be revealed here

Fair enough
I’m hoping that they allow us to customize the filter and add to it if we want to block and automatically flag specific words or phrases

fickle drift
Lego has declined in sales by almost $200 million this year, so I am not surprised they did the marketing with Fortnite, hoping to capture/recapture some market share.
The biggest issue for them, right now, is the increased cost and honestly...the product decline. People have not been happy with the digital booklets and the new boxes. And some sets have had insane price tags.
There revenue is up, slightly, by 1% but their profits year-to-year are still down.

It was actually costing more/causing more damage to make them that way.

It 100% is. I've bought some recent sets for SW and they reuse so many models or use some of the most random parts nowadays. They were better than this at one point.

Do you not lose points for leaving ranked games? (Infinite). Why do people always leave right before we lose?
ancient swan
They do is social as well. It’s a point of pride
Their pride can’t allow them to lose or allow a low KD to be on their profiles. People like to flex

point of pride to rage quit? lol

Lego just likes to avoid controversy tbh
They changed how jabbas palace looked because some people got mad it looked like a mosque in like 2012

I forgot about that.
muted rose
They also removed a technic model from stores because it was the same model as a coast guard helicopter
Not coast guard themed, just the same model
I love Lego I really do, but I can’t keep buying sets when they increase in price and I get less for it
mortal swallow
anyone know of any good custom games discords? I've joined like 5 halo discords and it seems theres no one playing any customs.
muted rose
The coroscusant gunship being the latest example of decline in quality. 2013 gunship, stacked with features, come 2023 it doesn’t have most of the same stuff and doors are dumb
Looks better yes, but a shell can look pretty and have no value inside it
The 2024 clone battle pack may be my last purchase from them
fickle drift
I just wish they'd stop charging a small fortune for some larger sets when they, like you said, don't have the same features.
jaunty yoke
Yes please be real
Rumors say they are working on a Blade game exclusive for Xbox
(Just a rumor)

Hold on but to circle back... you still lose points but your w/l ratio doesnt take a hit or?
jaunty yoke
But it worries be that Blade just ends up being a DLC for Redfall 😢

For the most part, lego has good minifigs these days. I’m looking at my Rivendell set right now and the characters are great. But honestly, I see them avoid things in the Star Wars line that makes me confused. New P2 Rex has a printed Kama for some reason, but otherwise looks nice. Vaughn in the 332nd pack I have doesn’t have a printed sun visor, like he does in the show, and commander fox is a weird shade of light red on the torso
I know that Lego has the capacity to improve their products but doesn’t.
jaunty yoke
I always liked Mega Blocks more than Lego simply because the characters had more realistic proportions lol

That's a nice looking set. I only have an earlier Fellowship set and some from The Hobbit. I bought the large Razor Crest (shocking?) and it's a nice upgrade from the original box set, but the cost was pretty high for some things that could have been included in the outset.
jaunty yoke
Of course Lego always had the better licenses
Mega Blocks had Halo but it was not enough to compete against everything Lego had
muted rose
Lego also is very very hard to copy. Buy any off brand and combine or compare them and you’ll see what I mean.

Mega Blocks had some stuff for awhile, like TMNT and Minions, IIRC. I have never bought anything really from their lines.

It’s a business strength honestly, it kills 1offing and close competition in the cradle.

I've bought some pieces from overseas that aren't that bad to put with my existing sets. Plus, I could 3D Print parts if I wished.
muted rose
It isn’t hard to make them Fit together honestly, but just the fact you can tell they’re different by looking at them is how they are so high in the building blocks world
jaunty yoke
I had a Halo Wars Pelican from Mega Blocks and when I finally finished it I accidentally dropped it and it all collapsed
fickle drift
When I was growing up, I think mega blocks was more "big" blocks.

I built a tie interceptor, put it on my shelf, wake up the next morning, see it fallen and taken away my AT-AT with it

As far as I know those are still their main thing, those big bagged play set of blocks.

I wonder where all my sets ended up. I had a lot and they're all lost
naive forge
I tried it just to see. Yes, you do not lose points for leaving a game. At least 1 game. Idk if you lose points for leaving multiple in a row
fickle drift
eBay is full of the older sets.
You can find some cheap at Wal-Mart and Ross nowadays.
jaunty yoke
All the players that leave a total of 100 matches should be permabanned from matchmaking

They probably just fell apart over time, you combined some pieces, and they sort of dispersed into the corners of your house. I’m still surprised when I find little tiles like 100 feet away from my room

Get some IKEA Billy Bookcases with glass and never worry about that again, ha.

My room is weird in that it has a ton of just open surface area so I store most of my legos on those
There’s this weird shelf right by my door that runs to my closet that I line up my more impressive sets on
It would be a weird room for most but it works for me
fickle drift
That's cool, built in shelving is nice.
muted rose
I do relish the look on peoples faces when they walk in and see the UCS falcon sitting on a table to their left. Then they look around and see all these other sets.

I have a friend who has always been a Playstation guy and has never had an Xbox. And even so, he buys many different Halo toys

I just have shelves or nearly any flat surface (end table, night stand, dresser etc) has stuff sitting on it through out my house.

What do the skulls mean in firefight and do you play them? How?
muted rose
The skulls are gameplay modifiers
jaunty yoke
Then again, my parents would always get me Star Wars toys when I was never into it
muted rose
The skulls are gameplay modifiers
They come into effect when you beat a certain round, and change enemy behavior, health and a myriad of other things
jaunty yoke
What do the skulls mean in firefight and do you play them? How?
They are difficulty modifiers same as in campaign
They are activated when a set is completed and all the players survive
molten schooner
So why do they pop up some games but not others
jaunty yoke
There are 2 variations of Firefight, regular and Heroic
molten schooner
I got infinite ammo at the very beginning of last game
jaunty yoke
I supposed skulls only come up in Heroic
muted rose
So why do they pop up some games but not others
Players are just dying. They all need to survive the whole time to activate I think.
I played today and only saw one skull activate and it was when everyone survived
molten schooner
Yeah but somehow at the beginning of last game and it made infinite ammo
jaunty yoke
Yeah, skulls are activated when a set is completed and no one dies during it
