[tight remnant]

What do you classify led lights as

[candid tusk]

Would probably depend on the scale of light emission.

[tight remnant]

Light strips, galaxy lights, all that sort of stuff

[fickle drift]

I buy color changing lights, I buy them to make my rooms look different. I don't care how long they last, but I hope the box of 4 at $50 lasts...awhile.

[candid tusk]

Would definitely class that under mood lighting in the emotional stimulation category.

[fickle drift]

That is exactly it. I have my outdoor lights the same now.

Plus its a lazy way to have themed lights for various holidays and occasions

[steady jolt]

Late, but yes. Full time developer

[candid tusk]

It must be annoying when people walk through the webs if you make them full time. You don't even catch any bugs for sustenance once they ruin it.

[muted rose]

Spider man seems to get along fine

[fickle drift]

God is MCC dumb

So I'm not allowed to use DXVK or else I'm considered cheating?

So wanting to get better fps with Vulkan opposed to using dx11 is cheating

[hasty zinc]

makes sense

it's a modification of files

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ivory spade]

damned nuisance on way too many pieces of PC hardware is what i call em

if i want a light show i'll go outside

[fickle drift]

No I didn't modify a single game file

[candid tusk]

KipMud is telling untruths.

Play by the rules or you get the gruels.

[fickle drift]

d3d11.dll
dxgi.dll

[candid tusk]

Stop trying to hack my discord with your witchy ways.

[fickle drift]

you add two files to your game thats it...I never modified a single game file

[candid tusk]

Side-injection of cheat files probably.

[fickle drift]

A Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 9/10/11 which allows running 3D applications on Linux using Wine.

[candid tusk]

You've added stuff to the folder that doesn't belong there, that's modification. Unfortunately they can't tell your intentions good or otherwise, so you're just blocked.

[bold sparrow]

Hammer drops no matter what.

[candid tusk]

Especially for dirty linux users.

[bold sparrow]

Also, trying to make stuff work for Linux for a company that hates it is...going to end badly no matter what.
(I say this as a Linux user)

Theres a reason I have a Series X.

[fickle drift]

lol all it does it translate the commands from dx11 to the vulkan language and seeing as vulkan is a a more efficient api it gets better FPS

[bold sparrow]

That still counts.

[fickle drift]

you modifiy nothing, its basically saying hey I go to walmart instead of target...walmart being the cheaper (more fps efficient) store

[steady jolt]

I might be misunderstanding, but are you saying Microsoft hates Linux?

[fickle drift]

I get the same results

[fickle drift]

But you modified your choice in store.

[candid tusk]

Walmart is blocked in the Halo country for violation of trade law.

[fickle drift]

yes and why should microsoft get to be anti consumer with your choices...

[candid tusk]

It's their game, go make your own that allows side loading untrusted files.

[fickle drift]

I much rather use vulkan then their closed ecosystem direct x

[bold sparrow]

As an open-source code, yeah.
Apple doesnt like it either.

Even if their stuff is based on it?
Its basically the "open source vs not open source" stuff.

Theres a reason you cant play most games on a Linux machine.

[fickle drift]

If single player, play offline. If using MP, sorry just upgrade your hardware to get better FPS.

can I invite a friend to split screen with no anti cheat?

The PC version of MCC doesn't support split-screen so no, even with anti-cheat on you wouldn't be able to.

[fickle drift]

Sorry not split screen private games between friends

Oh then yeah customs work fine with AC off

[steady jolt]

Maybe 15 years ago, sure, but certainly not now. If Microsoft truly didn't like Linux, they wouldn't have released things like WSL (windows subsystem for Linux), released development tools on Linux or open sourced a lot of their own projects

[leaden grotto]

hi

[steady jolt]

[elfin glacier]

you may get a kick out of this https://www.theregister.com/2023/12/18/who_me/

[steady jolt]

Haha

I've had similar things happen to me before 😂

[elfin glacier]

to be fair Microsoft probably doesn't want people going to desktop linux en masse, but server linux is a big cash cow for them bc azure

Microsoft is definitely less hostile to open source tho, props for that, but i'm not holding my breath for say, something like official linux support for games

[elfin glacier]

i blame EAC being the worst

[steady jolt]

I feel like it's probably a chicken egg scenario - no games because lack of support, lack of support because no games

[elfin glacier]

i don't think Microsoft would intentionally block wine support (i remember bloons td 6 blocking wine/mono support for a bit for some reason), but they also wouldn't want much if any time invested into fixing wine/linux issues

[candid tusk]

It's done. Now with the power of an Xbox Series X on my side and Halo 5 being on sale, I can begin to actually play this game that has eluded me on PC.

Without the cloud play jank. That was terrible. Very excited to play without that being an impediment to joy.

[elfin glacier]

i wonder if unity still uses mono on linux or if they use coreclr or. net core or whatever it's called now

[smoky token]

my dentist just told me i grind in my sleep he real af for that 💯💯💸🗣️

[normal owl]

Sorry to hear that.

[fickle drift]

Then again I'm also the crazy bastard that made a giant bat script that copies every save file to a flash drive I made using a old ssd

[hasty zinc]

trying to get Hero rank even while sleeping 👏

[fickle drift]

Then used a sync program to sync all my save files to backblaze

[vital grail]

is there any news about the halo 99 version being released

[steady jolt]

Don't think I've heard of that

Or is this a macworld thing with MCC?

[vital grail]

it's macworld

i heard somewhere that the dev is planning to release the halo 1999 build

but it's been like two years

[steady jolt]

I think there was some content from those builds released a few months ago by the digsite team

[vital grail]

really?

[hasty zinc]

yes

all the cut weapons and stuff

[vital grail]

can you send me the link?

[hasty zinc]

and the entire level

[vital grail]

does it have the multi-layer crosshairs and third person

[hasty zinc]

it's on steam in the workshop

[vital grail]

i'm gonna buy mcc on steam when it's on sale because i bought mcc on game pass and couldn't use the mods on workshop

[hasty zinc]

I didn't realize Killers of the Flower Moon is 3.5 hours long

[vital grail]

does it though

[hasty zinc]

idk the crosshair part but it has 3rd person

[pulsar garden]

so is the master chief collection multiplayer still alive

[steady jolt]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/digsite-discoveries

[vital grail]

oh ok

[pulsar garden]

I thought about buying it

[hard yacht]

I played earlier this year and it was

[left girder]

I have an idea that I think people would like in halo infinite and it would still make it have a T for teen rating paint mode in settings to where when you shoot a Spartan paint comes out and it can be any color you want just an idea I thought would be cool

[grizzled gazelle]

It was on the map Live Fire for the record.

[fickle drift]

You just now got your tree lit?

[proud arch]

Yupperoni

I believe in the whole no tree up until at least midway through the month.

Gotta get that Fall Vibe and then get that Winter vibe

[fickle drift]

Ah. Makes sense then. I've had my tree up since a week after Halloween. Would be the next day but I have to take down Halloween first.

[proud arch]

Eeeck

That's why I don't decorate for Halloween tho. Like 2 or more holidays are straight up after it

[fickle drift]

I decorate for Halloween in August...

[proud arch]

😬

[fickle drift]

People get seasonal depression, I get spring/summer depression as outside of Easter there's nothing fun to decorate for.

[tight remnant]

we dont have enough decorations during a lot of the other months

[proud arch]

Honestly I only decorate for Thanksgiving and then Christmas 🎁 cause then all I gotta do is badda bing put a tree up, throw some tinsel here and there, and welp badda boom Christmas

[fickle drift]

I go full Chevy Chase on my house so...I gotta start quickly.

Hope you have fun the campaign story is a little wonky but there’s def a lot of fun gameplay in it

[sick raven]

Hey guys

I just had a cool thought: in the event that Halo 7 or Halo Wars 3 comes out soon, wouldn’t it be a treat to see Blur work with 343 studios again? I rewatch Halo 2 anniversary and HW2 cutscenes like a movie sometimes and would love to see more awesome work from blur

[candid solar]

I heard that they actually came out and said that they'll never work with Halo again until Pablo Schrieber voices Master Chief in the games.

Sorry to be the one to tell you.

[smoky crow]

mines gone

[rare cedar]

Was it due to a storm?

[sick raven]

That’s unfortunate. Pablo needs to stay in Backyardigans where he belongs

[candid solar]

Pablo's a great actor with a lot of range.

[smoky wagon]

Howdy howdy

[south topaz]

Merry Christmas

[elfin glacier]

blur isn't the be all end all of cgi

[smoky token]

i prefer in-engine cutscenes a lot of the time

especially the fluid gameplay-cutscene-gameplay ones we get in Infinite

[pulsar cobalt]

I really want a playlist with just the dev maps and not the forge maps tbh

i preferred it when the community playlist was around

[jaunty yoke]

I have a question

Let's say my laptop is strong enough to run Halo CE and Halo 2, but anything from Halo 3 on wouldn't do it

If I installed the MCC on PC, would CE and 2 work fine?

[civic walrus]

I don’t think so, since CE and 2 are tied to the anniversary editions in MCC, which both came out after Halo 3

[analog knot]

You can choose to run the games in the non-anniversary graphics (campaign) or multiplayer you can choose CE / H2 Classic (not H2 Anniversary)

[jaunty yoke]

The main thing is that I want to play coop with a friend who is on PC

I don't know if he playing CE on Anniversary graphics while I am in classic graphics would affect the performance if he is the host

[analog knot]

Well co-op is pretty buggy even if you can run the game perfectly 😛 But no, the graphics are unique to you

[tepid flare]

Merry Christmas

[tepid flare]

[copper swallow]

343 you guys should make infinites firefight have a solo mode that give just as much xp as match making cause custom games doesnt bring in that much xp
at least when i played firefight in customs solo it only gives me 20xp

we need a mode that gives the same ammount as matchmaking for solo players who dont want to play with randoms or have a squad

[wild sleet]

Man what a day can’t wait to get back home & continue the grind out of Platinum Grade for the Career Rank

[severe crystal]

[tight remnant]

you know sometimes non verbal communciation can be nicer than verbal communication

I had a game where a team mate ran over another

in firefihgt so I looked at him, and i shook my head and entire body

I keep looking at him doing that, then he sort of starts looking down in shame asking for forgiveness, what it feels like it. then I nod and t-bag reptidely or something. And it basically is so much better than saying it on mic, there's a freedom to the limits imposed by non-verbal communication and a more genuine moment about it

[proven storm]

I remember there being some sort of shop channel or something here

I can't seem to find it though

[fickle drift]

Custom games award xp based on time spent in the instance when you meet the minimum requirements. It's 50 xp + time accumulation I think?

[tight remnant]

I thoguht you meant youtube at first and there is one

[proven storm]

👌

[bold sparrow]

I mean...its already solo, isnt it? Are people actually squadding up for Firefight?

Its not even that hard to win, its the easiest version of FF we've had so far and even if you loose you still cap around 3k XP.

[marsh crystal]

hey is anybody 3d modelers on this channel?

ish chewsday innit?

[steady jolt]

Absolutely no need for me to be going into the office any more than I currently do, even now my once a fortnight is useless. I get way less done and am stuck in a meeting room by myself for 2 hours for "Support" where nobody ever turns up :/

Plus, no chance am I getting budget to recreate my 5 screen / 2 laptop battlestation in the office 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah theyre asking my dad to go into office more now when he hasnt done for like the last 5 years because its pointless, says everyone there is complaining

Yeeaaa, your set up is a beast, Stckr. Even mine is capped at 3 monitors.
But I understand. Here i sit on discord at work because no one is at the training i give, only for them to email me later on how to do things... 🙄

[normal owl]

It's a control and anxiety issue for the decision-makers: the basic human inside them feels like they have more control if they can see all the bodies there working, or anxiety if they can't see the literal personification of how their company is functioning. The most often quoted justification is a version of "There is an X factor that generates good ideas via in-person collaboration that cannot happen remotely." Recent studies that have the benefit of hindsight over the pandemic period to now have proven that assumption wrong: individuals in fact mostly accomplish most of their breakthrough thinking when alone, and in-person meetings are most productive when they function as an assembly of reported results--not brainstorming.

[candid tusk]

That's nice and all, but I'm leasing this office building from my wife's cousin, so too bad, we're using the space.

[normal owl]

The problem is, during the high-trust period when many people worked from home, some bad apples abused that trust to goof off or even work a second job without disclosure to the current employer. Of course bad things get surfaced more than good things. So now trust is lower among decision-makers that remote is as good as in-person in many cases.

[normal owl]

Exactly this also.

One of the biggest casualties of this anxiety of decision-makers to bring people back into the office is all of the progress we've made over the last few years to get working-age mothers back into the workforce. So much progress destroyed by the emotional need to feel like "ahh I can see everyone here".

[forest lagoon]

Which is extremely frustrating because my husband's boss doesn't "believe in working from home".
Buuuuut... He's a programmer, literally the only one at a small bank. He doesn't work with anyone except for when they need something made, fixed, or tweaked and even then they typically email him instead of walking to his office. He could remote in and work literally anywhere but they want him there. He's even basically on call 24/7 in case something happens during off hours (extremely rare, normally happens only when on vacation) in which he will remote in so it's not like it's not an option not in place

Frustrating

[normal owl]

Yeah, it's definitively the boss's (a) initial emotion of feeling like everyone is under visual supervision if needed, and (b) laziness (and feeling of entitlement to be lazy because he's a boss) against making effort to understand the position's specific role and duties.

"I don't believe in working from home" is one of the laziest things a decision-maker can say, which is hypocritical since they're the ones assuming laziness in employees if they're wfh.

WFH should be a functional evaluation, not a philosophy. In all other business matters, decision-makers would claim they let facts and logic govern.

[cyan verge]

Hallo

[normal owl]

...Obviously I feel strongly about this. I've actually worked in office through the pandemic to now unless I take work home after COB. It's just that I've seen my friends and sibling with kids struggle so much with this: all at the whim of some people in charge who say "we're a family" but then cannot surrender their emotions for the sake of their employees' practical family needs.

[smoky token]

I’m wondering if I should get a 4th monitor since my VR died and I don’t think i’m going to get a new headset any time in the near future

So... What's the likelihood that they will expand the new networking model out to another playlist today? I'd say the chances are pretty slim but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hoping that it will be expanded out to a 4v4 playlist soon so we can get a better idea of how it will affect ranked.

[harsh vector]

Christmas is just 12 minutes away

[bold sparrow]

If the update doesnt work yank the power cord and let it sit cold for 5 minutes

That'll trigger a hard reset when you plug it back in

And I just realize 343 just add Laso firefight

Oh boy we are going to died

I do like the new background with the snow

Bits on the side is meant to be a beard and that top part i have no clue maybe a santa hat

And the other items should of got non Christmas versions also

I still need to try firefight

It's designed to look like Santa Claus' face but a helmet. Jaw and chin painted white with a little mouth, little extra block on the top for a beard.

that's what I first thought of

Why i wish helmets allow you remove certain things from helmets so helmets have more variations

Imagine if you could remove the bits off trailblazer or you could remove the filter thing off notus and same with the default rak helm and remove the face mask

[obsidian wyvern]

I think what aegis is saying is that without the context of it being a winter contingency item, no one would have known

[hasty zinc]

exactly

[candid solar]

Ah

[hasty zinc]

if they released that a year ago with zero context it would just be a goofy looking helmet

[candid solar]

That makes more sense, yeah

I don't mind it even without the santa connection tbh

[forest lagoon]

Looks just like a helmet to me

[hasty zinc]

thank you!

lol

it's only christmas if you make it christmas

I mean yes, I can see how it looks like santa, but I think that's because of the association with winter event etc etc

it may have even been created with a santa look in mind, but it's also just a helmet that I can see people using outside of christmas themed spartans

[pulsar cobalt]

Would of been a good helmet but the top bit and the beard looking thing should of been attachments or completely a different helm

[forest lagoon]

Maybe if it was shown off with a specific coating it would read more of what the intended design is supposed to be, but yeah, all I see is a helmet.

Actually, reminds me of some downhill longboarding helmets

[hasty zinc]

was marketed with this coating

[forest lagoon]

Still don't see it lol

[pulsar cobalt]

I just don't understand what that top part is meant to be lmao rather have that gone and just have the beard as a attachment tbh

[smoky crow]

what ranks are yall on MCC?

[forest lagoon]

A pom-pom?

[hasty zinc]

it's a dash cam

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[pliant hatch]

if there wasn't any context, I'd still see a face, but I wouldn't think of santa.

[pliant hatch]

ranked or progression?

[smoky crow]

Progression.

[amber mirage]

100% can see Santa with that coating, but without it, it's just another helmet.

[fickle drift]

This. It’s meant to be the ball and the extra fabric of a Santa hat. 🎅

I like it with the coating, without its not something I can see myself using.

[rare cedar]

My goodness there's a lot in the shop!

[hasty zinc]

oh really??? is there a place people can go to check out the shop offerings?

[obsidian wyvern]

have u updated the shop channel

[rare cedar]

Do pandas eat bamboo?

[obsidian wyvern]

idk why I didn't get the notif

[hasty zinc]

you're not part of the cool kids club

[rare cedar]

[candid solar]

New Discord logo detected

[rare cedar]

[obsidian wyvern]

I am no longer gonna help unout whenever your e 8nntrohble

[rare cedar]

Uny hard at work 😤

waiting for the server banner to get updated

[hasty zinc]

I'll be sure to let unout know that.

[fickle drift]

I hope Santa brings you a bigger keyboard for Christmas

[mental mauve]

Am I the only one whose game is running like absolute trash after the new stuff dropped?

Originally I never (from what I've noticed) gone under 60 fps, but now it frequently dips below 20, and fluctuates between that and around 60.

[rare cedar]

My game just crashed on pc while browsing the shop, but my pc is also doodoo so

[mental mauve]

I mean, same, though it's also not my PC, just a laptop with similar specs.

[harsh vector]

my fps only drops on forge maps

especially the valhalla remake

[mental mauve]

I also crashed after finishing a game of firefight. :T

[fickle drift]

Santa dropping off the coal for those who deserve it early.

[rare cedar]

[shy mantle]

can somone help me name my elite?

[rare cedar]

Playable Elite'lmao

[shy mantle]

please if you arent going to help dont reply

[obsidian wyvern]

panda was right

[rare cedar]

I'd ask in #lore-and-universe tbh

[shy mantle]

but thats for halo lore aint it?

[rare cedar]

Yes, which the minds of folks who know Elite names may help you out 😄

[shy mantle]

oh your right thanks!

[rare cedar]

[tepid flare]

That would be really fun

[smoky crow]

It didn't take long for Reach to fall: our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory — your victory — was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor — all burned and turned to glass. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild.

#w qoute

[faint hearth]

is the combined arms event going to come back?

[tepid flare]

No

You have to buy it to progress it now

sorry

[tepid flare]

favorite halo

[smoky crow]

Yessir

[primal widget]

Has anyone figured out the career rank multipliers for heroic and legendary firefight yet?

[mental mauve]

Now I'm wondering if there's an update I need to download. The new cosmetics from the pass aren't showing up, no idea if that's intentional.

Like, they aren't showing up in the customization menu when they're still locked.

[smoky token]

if you haven’t updated the game yet, you may have to

[steady jolt]

Should just need to restart or hard reset

All backend updates for events, or generally it's all backend

[steady lotus]

Is anyone else NOT getting match xp and career rank xp? I just did 2 legendary firefight games and received 0 xp both times.

[dire iris]

No it’s not happened to me it’s probably just a random glitch

[dark schooner]

The new battle pass looks okay

[rare cedar]

okay

[deep canyon]

I have got the same problem

[dark schooner]

I think is a bug idk

[dire iris]

The new operation is quite cool I like the Christmas theming of it but I personally preferred the combined arms one

[dark schooner]

I will play halo infinite all day after school

[mental mauve]

Doesn't seem like there is one so far. I waited to start the game until a few minutes after the event's launch, and there still wasn't an update by then.

[dire iris]

Guys does anyone still experience lag even tho there was that update with firefight where they pretty much fixed the servers I still lag so much

[molten schooner]

Which Playlist has the new maps for this update

[amber olive]

[dire iris]

Also what rank is everyone I’m kinda curious I’m platinum colonel grade 3

[round laurel]

"Snow Fire, a snow-covered variant of the map Live Fire, has rotated into the following playlists for the duration of the Winter Contingency III Operation:
Infection
Quick Play
Rumble Pit
Super Fiesta
Team Doubles
Team Slayer
Team Snipers
Team Tactical"

[zealous solstice]

Silver SGT Major

[molten schooner]

only one new map, which is just a snow covered regular map? darn

[dire iris]

I think firefight is easily the best mode to make your rank higher I’ve been having games where I’m earning 5,000 xp or more

[dire iris]

It’d be better if they made more of the maps snow covered or actually added a brand new map with snow on it instead of a reskin

[pliant hatch]

the last tour. don't remember the rank number

[molten schooner]

How do you get the Santa hat

Pls

[hasty zinc]

it was part of Winter Contingency II event

[steady jolt]

Was a store item I believe, might be back again.

Oh, there we go

[tight remnant]

Submit a ticket

[hasty zinc]

no current way to obtain the Santa hat ATM

[zealous solstice]

Winter Contingency III

And still no Operator helmet. This has to be some kind of torture

[steady lotus]

Platinum Private Grade 3

[dire iris]

Has anyone heard of someone on YouTube Caleb mint blitz he was able to get all the way to hero rank before season 5 even started

[hasty zinc]

-_-

[dire iris]

What the heck is it supposed to be

[crystal temple]

Bruh

Active Camuflage charm

[dire iris]

Lol 😂

[tight remnant]

A weapon charm that's snowflake

[tight remnant]

Im almost to Hero

[civic walrus]

ok so it’s not just me

[dire iris]

Yo no way

[tight remnant]

One more rank to go

[sand nest]

I'm Completing Challenges But Not Getting Anywhere On The Event. Almost Got The Weekly Done

[pliant hatch]

that happens a lot on console

[sand nest]

I'm On PC

[fickle drift]

damn i cant find the santa hat anywhere 😦

[pliant hatch]

I'm referring to the ultimate pic

[pine wasp]

can onyx play with gold 4?

[fickle drift]

God the new legendary firefight is incredible for the most part. People really need to learn to give up a hill and to use cover though.

[round laurel]

It was a part of the previous Winter Contingency event, I believe.

Yep... https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/winter-contingency-ii-launch

[tight remnant]

It's like battle passes, they don't unlock per challenge.

[tight remnant]

Not in the store

[junior heath]

Do you think that the Santa hat (not the Santa helmet) is going to be sold anymore?

[hexed geyser]

Sheild's pfp is a Man named Ray

[tight remnant]

Probably it will return

[fickle drift]

ah ok hopefully it comes back!

[steady lotus]

Yeah, he has his own discod too and a lot of his community feed him kills. He had to get like 10,000 kills per day and got it in September I think.

[round laurel]

I don't think they've ever returned any event items, but I could be wrong.

Santa hat is a highly thematic Xmas item so maybe they'll make an exception for it one day.

[tacit quiver]

Man, I love halo so much.

[fickle drift]

ill keep my fingers crossed its definitely the time to bring it back

i want a santa spartan!

[dire iris]

Yeah I want the Santa hat for my mkv

[tacit quiver]

Jolly Spartans pls

[fickle drift]

Same I'm glad the game is in a good state now. Was really worried Halo would die off but the new guys have been amazing. Looking forward to the next few years.

[dire iris]

Does anyone use a website called Spartan record you have to type in your gamertag and it tells you everything like your rank how many kills you’ve got and how many games it will take to get to hero rank

[high warren]

Halo Infinite keeps getting better and I hope this trend never stops

[indigo bear]

Haven’t played it yet ;-;

[dire iris]

One thing I’m dreading tho is that whenever a new halo comes out all the stuff I’ve bought won’t be in there unless 343 decides to do what mw3 did and carry your stuff over

[tacit quiver]

Nah, Halo won’t die off like that

[steady jolt]

That's most games tbh

[high warren]

Maybe Infinite will be the only Halo MP this year. And instead we'll be getting story expansions.

[indigo bear]

I know right! This game went from the most 6/10 game ever, to a 7.5/10 or an 8

[midnight trench]

no sorry i wont be able to carry you in this moment

[fickle drift]

Master Cheeks the show almost finished us off after the initial Infinite launch ngl lol, but the rebound has been amazing. Infinite is coming up as a close favourite for me now and I'm slowly getting friends back into it.

[tacit quiver]

My friend and I want our friends to play it with us

[ripe root]

Anyone here go to HCS Worlds this year? I'm trying to find where to get the VA Photobooth photos. They said there'd be an email but I didn't get anything

[tight remnant]

I hope there's not a new halo game anytime soon and that the live service aspect of halo infinite goes on for a while

I do want a new campaign DLC however

[fickle drift]

I'm guessing we'll get a sidegame or something first. There's a ton of room left to explore story wise. Recent interviews suggested that Microsoft considers Infinite somewhat feature complete now so who knows what'll happen in the end.

[tight remnant]

I'd like side games

[halcyon mica]

who are the endless

[fickle drift]

Halo Wars 3 or something like ODST could be really cool.

[tight remnant]

we could still do with assasinations, better sandbox, more weapons and vehicles returning that's for sure, and some more game modes

Halo infinite with 5's sandbox would be amazing

[fickle drift]

The firefight mode and btb is so fun, if they eventually added grunt goblins and maybe a few other things it could be really cool and on-par with warzone.

[tight remnant]

I'd like warzone back

[tardy thistle]

Apex 7 map was peak

[high warren]

ODST 2.0

[grim junco]

So I just switched to PC not too long ago and I’m having some trouble. When I use controller it feels like there’s no aim assist. Why is that?

[halcyon mica]

A while back, somebody brought up the observation that Halo Infinite's sandbox is fundamentally physics-based (e.g. the repulsor interacts with all current vehicles in some way), and all Halo multiplayer sandboxes hitherto Halo 4's release were like this. I'm a simple man who loves the Mantis as much as a simple man can, but I have to wonder, if the Mantis were to be reintroduced into Infinite, what changes would be made to it to better conform to this sandbox?

[obsidian wyvern]

https://vxtwitter.com/DanTheBloke/status/1737186416298226142/photo/1

[fickle drift]

It would have to be more durable and weighted to feel slower and heavier. Infinite seems to prioritise fragile and bouncy vehicles that do high damage and I'm genuinely not sure how the mantis would survive. Halo 5 vehicles were a lot tougher and and soaked up more damage. The sandbox in 5 felt much slower as a whole.

[hexed geyser]

would Mario Wonder Be a Good 1st Switch game for my 5 y/o bro

[halcyon mica]

I don't know for sure but have you checked the settings to confirm you're using controller inputs over M&K? I've read that sometimes you can be using a controller but the game behaves like you're using your mouse because the setting didn't automatically change over.

[halcyon mica]

Also true and something I didn't consider. Vehicles do feel more agile and far less durable in Infinite than previous titles.

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-odst-gif-25383416

so yeah, this is what we all want

[halcyon mica]

omg bestie so true

The Mantis is old stuff. Now is the time of the Cyclops

[obsidian wyvern]

this has to be my favourite game trailer ever and it sucks because this isnt the type of game id ever finish

just need the next halo fps to have one thats as good as this

[tight remnant]

The wasp can tank more gunshots than halo 5's

But i would have prefered 5's type

[hexed geyser]

i hoping The Gamepass family plan comes soon enough (Cuz my mom might not want To pay alot for me & my 2 bros to Play Banjo & Halo via cloud, Its too pricey)

[tight remnant]

5 is more fragile, can get taken out by small arms fire. But it has a shield. So you have to maneuver, dodge, take cover, hit and run. You can survive if you're a good pilot

[obsidian wyvern]

also criminal we dont have a spacefighter mp yet 😔

[halcyon mica]

I wonder if adding the Cyclops to Infinite and giving it the ability to jump would ruin the game by allowing players to reach spots that weren't designed for it

[obsidian wyvern]

if the grapple cant, what could the cyclops do

[halcyon mica]

I'm still waiting for my tactical mech Halo spin off

[tight remnant]

Mantis too please

[obsidian wyvern]

and now my mind has wandered to titanfall 3

this is bad for my health

[halcyon mica]

The time will come. Just keep holding onto hope

[junior horizon]

ok so what now

we have the winter event, and this is supposed to to be the last event of the season

what comes next

[sly star]

We will see in Jan 20

[halcyon mica]

It'll probably return back to regular Season 5 some time in the middle of January, then we wait for Season 6 as the month nears its end

[junior horizon]

that's too damn long to wait

[halcyon mica]

Apparently Winter Contingency III will last for the rest of Season 5, according to Halopedia?

[obsidian wyvern]

its only a month

and yeah

i say only in this case because season 5 is only 3 months, which is whats expected

[halcyon mica]

(also according to the official announcement in the other channel here)

[junior horizon]

oh thats right winter contingency is over a solid month

[sly star]

I know since Combined Arm is the first event that will run for 1 months

[junior horizon]

i swear ranked strongholds on solitude is gonna make me cry

[molten schooner]

How do u get ice fissure I am on level 5 but can't find it in armory

Armour color coating

It says bonus. Does that mean u get it after u complete all levels

[halcyon mica]

You have to buy the Winter Contingency III premium pass to access it

[sand nest]

I Completed The Weekly Event, Completed A Lot Of Matchs To Just Barely Just Make It To Teir 5 Of The Event. Its Going To Take Me Weeks To Completed The Winter Event With The Low EXP Without Paying A Battle Pass

Also Won't Be Able To Play Much Cause Of The Holiday

[round laurel]

It does not take long at all.

I barely play and managed to complete the last operation through a few sessions spread across the weeks.

Being on tier 5 already is actually pretty good, no? It

[sand nest]

Yes Last Event I Completed No Problem This Event I'm Barely Getting 50EXP

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah, a quarter through in your first play session

looks like it finally happened lol

[grim junco]

Damn bro where’d you get that? Looks dope af

[vagrant patrol]

winter update is nice, good work everyone.

legendary is super fun. the perfect challenge.

[keen trout]

That's the official halo merchandise but that is one of those rewards for the season, so like example the recent one was the backpack you had to complete the battle pass and you would be given a discount code in your waypoint. Hope this makes sense friend!

I missed that reward and kicking myself cause I really like pins!

[molten pelican]

something is off about this discord update but my brain cannot figure it out

Does anyone know how to use scripting to have it so for an infection mode, when one survivor remains, the zombie loses all their traits?

[karmic wraith]

are halo 3 and odst the only campaigns with crossplay?

What does this mean

[candid solar]

Open Broadcaster Software

[sinful thicket]

Where can I find that?

[candid solar]

Google

[obsidian wyvern]

its legit just obs studio

Hey y'all, what's up?

[fickle drift]

I think we're not gonna leave this month

[obsidian wyvern]

i was thinking it was a bit late

[viral dune]

Yeah it's a yet cuz our grades haven't been updated yet lol

[obsidian wyvern]

praying you passed physics 🙏

[viral dune]

I didn't

[obsidian wyvern]

damn it icky lol

[viral dune]

Look lol

[faint mantle]

I'd say something

But I failed college remedial physics twice

That was one of the indicators that told me I wasn't going to be an engineer

[obsidian wyvern]

the numbers dont mean much to me but bio is pretty high in comparison lol

is 10 a perfect

[viral dune]

Anything below 6 = failed

Yeah

[faint mantle]

Icky how did you barely pass history of Mexico

[obsidian wyvern]

well its only 1 (or 2 idk about MB) so thats good?

lol

[viral dune]

I didn't do my homework

[faint mantle]

"Hoja de Cálculo" = Excel?

[viral dune]

I did well on my exams but I didn't do my homework or anything really

Gestión de archivos = word

[obsidian wyvern]

my excel skills are non-existent

[faint mantle]

Omg you're going to get grounded and I'll celebrate it

[viral dune]

WHAT

[green summit]

Anyone a CTF fan in here?

[obsidian wyvern]

very much so

[faint mantle]

I'm an expert in Excel, I'll gladly give you a hand one day

But COME ON ICKY IT'S HW

[viral dune]

I was too lazy lol

[obsidian wyvern]

tbf homework you slack on till the lesson before the lesson its due

it is what it is

[green summit]

Really wow. I'm surprised. I'm not a huge fan and just assumed no one liked it lol. My bias talking.

[obsidian wyvern]

or that 15 min break

[obsidian wyvern]

by far my favourite mode when its played by the team how its supposed to be lol

[viral dune]

I'm surprised I passed biology and literature when I barely paid attention lol

[green summit]

I'm digging the experimental playlist rn but just wish it was Slayer only

[obsidian wyvern]

what is it this week

[faint mantle]

Icky pls

[viral dune]

Yeah, my favorite CTF gamemode is desert bus, best custom game ever invented

[faint mantle]

I don't want you to be an albañil

Or a pawn

[obsidian wyvern]

if its the halo 3 playlist with 1 flag on last resort, then i understand where youre coming from

[green summit]

Got some old Halo 1 PC and Halo 2 maps but to me, CTF just ruins it. I don't play with large parties and find it hard all playing as individuals

[viral dune]

I know that it's really bad and that I shouldn't procrastinate but I keep doing it anyway lol

[faint mantle]

(for outsiders: Albañil = construction worker, but grunts, expendable)

[obsidian wyvern]

mood

[faint mantle]

I'll put it like this

And Rev may hate me for saying it

[viral dune]

😮

[faint mantle]

But BACK IN MUH DAY

[obsidian wyvern]

i think i have a whole coding project due with the documentation in 2 weeks and i havent even looked at the brief

[faint mantle]

There would always be a point of this semester where, if I got distracted with games, I would strongly feel the repercussions later

So I'd just quit games altogether until the semester got better, that was usually after exams were over

I went to a high performance high school, so I don't doubt you will have a small spaces every now and then, but often that sacrifice is needed

[obsidian wyvern]

my gamepass ran out yesterday and i havent picked it back up so i can actually study to be fair

which reminds me icky, i cant 1v1 u in titanfall then lol

[viral dune]

I have a code

[obsidian wyvern]

no this is not the point lol

[viral dune]

Oh

[faint mantle]

I will confiscate that code

[viral dune]

no plz

[obsidian wyvern]

i actually need to catch up, so right now its just steam games ill spend max an hour on before getting bored

[viral dune]

Next semester will be the one I just know it

[obsidian wyvern]

but if i buy lethal company this week, and it is tempting, its all over anyway

[obsidian wyvern]

thats what they all say

[viral dune]

Is lethal company that among us game

[forest lagoon]

So you get grounded the entire summer?

[obsidian wyvern]

i can see why youve said that, so yes but no

[green summit]

Anyone know of the best place to send 343 feedback? Internet tells me Halo Waypoint, but Halo Waypoint tells me it's shut down.

[steady jolt]

Here :)

Well, in one of the forums here

[forest lagoon]

Depends on what you're trying to say and for what reason

[steady jolt]

^ that too

[forest lagoon]

I'm helpful

[green summit]

Feedback on playlists that is 100% subjective lol

[viral dune]

ngl if I fail my physics extraordinary exam I may get grounded for the entire year lol

[viral dune]

Hi helpful I'm Icky Spartan

If it is for Halo Infinite, you can use #1039633978841374720 and start a new thread there. For MCC we have #1076337363770417172

It's in a different spot now. When you pop open what used to be the challenge spot, it brings you to the BP. Notice at the top left of that page you can slide over to the challenges

[hushed stream]

I can't even see what challenges I have its like they not existant

[forest lagoon]

o.O

[smoky token]

Ace Combat is so unserious but I love it for that

[obsidian wyvern]

[forest lagoon]

Steam or Xbox PC app?

[limpid falcon]

I'd file a ticket with support to let them know about it

[potent pendant]

I just beat every campaign on the master chief collection on Legendary ( No Skulls though )

took about 2 weeks

[onyx mango]

I’m hungry

[onyx mango]

H2 legendary is easy prove me wrong

[pine heart]

It makes me want to die

There easy

[civic walrus]

Outskirts

[onyx mango]

It’s really not that bad

[civic walrus]

do you play with a head?

[livid oyster]

Ain’t that bad as compared to what?

Because H2 legendary is almost unanimously considered to be not only the toughest campaign in all of halo, but of any video game

[smoky token]

eh

not any video game

but definitely one of the hardest

halo 2 was so unbalanced

[ebon seal]

don't you mean H2 LASO? 😛

[livid oyster]

Ah yeah

When I think legendary I automatically think laso

[nova rivet]

i'm the only one with server issues?

[hushed meteor]

same

[old junco]

is halo down for everyone?

[hushed meteor]

was about to ask as well

[nova rivet]

lmao

[hushed meteor]

just used a hour boost too -_-

[old junco]

NOOOOOO I was playing so much

[sturdy mauve]

oh no, it's starting..... halo is cancelled bros :(

[nova rivet]

SAME, i was about to clutch a match and then i got out

[worthy ginkgo]

Did Halo servers go down?

[humble yacht]

💀 was in Forge thankfully it autosaved

[eager moth]

Servers are also on holiday break

[humble yacht]

hopefully your boost will remain

[frozen anvil]

Servers are definitely down

[worthy ginkgo]

Aw man

[eager moth]

I rebooted and found a game. Not sure how long it'll last though

[pliant monolith]

the second i hop on the servers go offline... man...

[frozen anvil]

They need new servers anyway. The glitches out too much and the game constantly force quit itself.

[worthy ginkgo]

Guess I’ll just play god of war dlc

[quiet tusk]

Looks like campaign might be working

[frozen anvil]

Servers are back.

[shut prairie]

I went into the campaign menu, then back to the multiplayer menu, and that forced my game off of Offline mode

[storm flint]

https://tenor.com/view/when-server-down-iceeramen-monkey-gif-23229726

[boreal knoll]

We need something better than a server in Australia 🤭

[storm flint]

I was trying to save my map and it kept saying save failed and welp servers went bye bye

[rugged birch]

Can you complete challenges doing firefight?

[fickle drift]

Unless the challenge says PvP you can.

[covert cobalt]

Some, yes

[rugged birch]

So like.. the current challenge list

Does firefight count them?

Cuz I don't see pvp written on them anywhere

[fickle drift]

They’ll work. (I haven’t seen the new list, but the last few weeks the only ones that didn’t count were ones that specifically mentioned PvP)

[rugged birch]

Also do you get the "bonus" after you complete the pass?

[normal compass]

No

The bonus skin from the operation is $5

Only good for people who have jobs and can’t play the game a lot and buy it last second to get all 20 tiers (making the pass stay forever) and the bonus coating

[winter flame]

you can still buy it indefinitely

so its also for people who just cant play the game right now but wanna get the stuff

[edgy vessel]

all these server emotes, but not ONE is the UNSC or UNSCDF Eagle.

[heady narwhal]

hey so was just wondering can the battle pass only be completed with challenges? so i have to wait till next week to complete it? for halo infinite new 20 level battle pass

[edgy vessel]

You have to just level up with it selected

challenges help boost it, they give you more xp

[heady narwhal]

ok thanks

[tight remnant]

So is the legendary score multiplier only 1.4x or something

[formal halo]

343 states that score multipliers for heroic/legendary are not balanced yet to give the appropriate amount of points

[tight remnant]

Oh I must have missed that

1145 -> 1430 score

[formal halo]

For now leg firefight isn't good for farming XP

[tight remnant]

And it wont be by the time I reach Hero

[formal halo]

And it's pretty difficult, id you aren't lucky to get at least 1 spawn of SPNKR on the map

if*

[tight remnant]

Or competent team mates

[formal halo]

And that

[high warren]

I did it on legendary earlier. We lost a round tho but we won.

[formal halo]

But I can most of the time carry the team if I get a spnkr

Or arcane sentinel for fatties such as hunters

[high warren]

Cindershot comes in handy too

[formal halo]

Cinder ain't good later on in the stages, as tougher enemies appear

You aren't gonna do anything against elite major or zealot god forbid

[high warren]

It's good for crowd control at least

[formal halo]

My preferred load out, if possible to get it, for later stages is br and grav hammer

Br to swipe grunts, hammer to smack hunters and bosses

[high warren]

I hate that some maps don't have the impulser

Love using that around to make pancakes

[formal halo]

Equipment doesn't matter in legendary, as you get normal amounts

[high warren]

Yeah that sucks

[formal halo]

Better to just altogether focus on obtaining splash weapons/nades

I remember getting the bandana skull in the beginning of my first heroic firefight, spammed dynamo nades till the end of time

Got 40k dmg

[high warren]

Haha nice

Guess I'd stick to heroic for a while. It's my favorite. Plus the equipment is infinite, so spotify playlist + impulser pancakes

[formal halo]

There is a grandma near me asking if the hour 9:30 exists, wtf

[cobalt kayak]

Are twitch drops worth it?

[high warren]

What lmao

[pliant monolith]

Anyone have any tips/things I should do when it comes to improving with the sniper? I've been playing team snipers for a while, and I still cant hit my shots with it

[high warren]

It's always gonna be a bit tough with controllers but shoot where they're gonna be, not where they're at

[cobalt kayak]

I thought that was common knowledge

[high warren]

Guess I'm out of tips

[cobalt kayak]

Train your eyes and fingers for when you see moving targets

Anything that moves shoot at it no second thought

[winter flame]

main thing is to relax and dont panic shoot

[high warren]

Adjust your controller sensitivity until it really feels synced with your fingers

[cobalt kayak]

Thing I hate most is when I'm too fast for the controller to register it

[winter flame]

become one with your controller, cant beat mind control

[cobalt kayak]

Train to hit heads aswell

Camo also helps too

[high warren]

This is really important. Don't think, just shoot.

[winter flame]

other way around. wait for the reticle to actual be on target

[high warren]

No just shoot, jk

[winter flame]

panic shooting is why you miss so much i reckon

[high warren]

I've got some of my best shots ever because of no brainer shooting lol

[cobalt kayak]

I could film footage of me using snipers in various games if that would help

[high warren]

Sometimes your fingers are gonna be way ahead of you, is what I'm saying

[winter flame]

true but then pretty much every time i choke its because im spamming and not taking my time

[cobalt kayak]

Same I was playing a small scale game and hid in a tree surveying the entire map got like 50 kills

[high warren]

My best sniper kill ever happened in Warzone. I was on a chopper, then I shot a guy on another chopper that was about 700 meters away.

I was like wtf just happened

[cobalt kayak]

My best was on star wars battlefront 2 darth maul was killing everyone at point A but I lined up and shot him in the head

[high warren]

Yeah

[cobalt kayak]

Snipers are so fun when you figure them out

[high warren]

Got a playlist recommendation for Firefight. The official Warhammer Darktide playlist.

[cobalt kayak]

I think why people suck with them is that they don't use them how snipers are supposed to be used, they run around the map but you should really be hiding in one spot shooting from there

[winter flame]

i was working at a christmas party the other day and they started playing Warhammer music lol

[cobalt kayak]

Cool

[high warren]

Darktide music is so unbelievable

[cobalt kayak]

Also did they add female spartans?

[high warren]

Female spartans? I don't think we have those

[cobalt kayak]

That's a shame

[winter flame]

snapshooting is actually probably with way with kbm

i think maybe my sniper brain is too wired to controller play

[high warren]

https://open.spotify.com/track/7ahyC8qdj2a0jVikhz1dqc?si=mtWLUhTiRwqhZ-_R1J-DtA

[elfin glacier]

wut

[elfin glacier]

you can pick a feminine voice to go with whatever build you want

[high warren]

This one too, don't miss it.
https://open.spotify.com/track/2dHZywpd63kkJE36wUkKSl?si=eYwqcr4fRBG7nddYmuGdIQ

[elfin glacier]

better system than before

[cobalt kayak]

Yeah but actual femine bodies

[high warren]

Yeah like, they don't look female

[elfin glacier]

so basically you're saying they look like Spartan-IIs

[cobalt kayak]

They all look masculine rather than having a balance

[winter flame]

pretty much the lore is contradictory because they look different in reach, which is part of the lore

its just a design decision for this game, i dont really care but that's what it is

[elfin glacier]

unfortunately halo: reach is canon, but TFoR should be deferred to where possible

[sturdy crypt]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[winter flame]

no it shouldnt

[cobalt kayak]

Reach is an amazing game

[winter flame]

Halo is a video game franchise

[sturdy crypt]

True

[winter flame]

the game designers made the spartans look how they wanted them to look

[elfin glacier]

Halo is a multimedia franchise

[cobalt kayak]

Also the reach spartans are biologically accurate

[elfin glacier]

wut

[cobalt kayak]

The infinite ones aren't

[winter flame]

right but how much of the art and canon is determined by how the game designers want to design their game? the vast majority of it

[elfin glacier]

???
both have bioengineered supersoldiers in futuristic armor, who says what's "accurate" lok

[elfin glacier]

if bungie wanted full project control they had the option of not joining Microsoft

[cobalt kayak]

Didn't they join Microsoft to stop from going bankrupt

[winter flame]

just because they didnt have full project control doesn't change anything i said, the games and the game designers principally invented the halo universe, like it or not buddy

you dont have to like it

[elfin glacier]

You don't have to like the fact that Microsoft's writers played a large role in establishing the canon and universe for halo

[cobalt kayak]

The games overwrite every other piece of media in what's Canon as they are the focus unless denied by 343,bungie or Microsoft

The games are the main selling point so that's what determines the history of halo

[winter flame]

i do like the fact other writers contribute to the canon

[elfin glacier]

just because bungie is absolutely hostile to anyone they work with shouldn't erase the work put in by Eric Nylund, Eric Trautmann, and others put into the joint project of the Halo franchise

[winter flame]

im just not going to act like they override how the game designers choose to design their universe

you're getting off topic here

[elfin glacier]

without Microsoft's writers halo ce had no script

[winter flame]

i dont care whether the writer of CE worked for Bungie or Microsoft

rather the fact what he wrote was in the video game

it doesnt in any way undermine what im saying

the video games define halo as a universe and franchise

[elfin glacier]

it was clearly intended to be a multimedia franchise from early on

[winter flame]

based around the video games yes

im not in any way discrediting the work put into the books and other media

[elfin glacier]

except that they aren't REALLY part of the canon, of course

[cobalt kayak]

They are until the games discredit them

[winter flame]

im not saying that

they contribute to the canon like i said

dont twist my argument please

[cobalt kayak]

It's like star wars

George Lucas permitted and encouraged books but the movies would overstep any book as he so chooses

The main front of the franchise decides how the franchise goes forward with the other parts adding to it

Does that make sense?

[crisp zinc]

So Firefight much more rewarding now ? 🙂
I love Firefight but the XP reward was meh tbf

[cobalt kayak]

Can't believe I spent 3 hours just for metallic blue coatings

I don't even like blue

[winter flame]

so i can confirm it comes up with 0credits when you first load

since some people said they clicked buy and got charged before it loaded the actual amount

for me it was only for like 2 seconds though

the regular bandit in pve is so good

evo too but man i wish either were in campaign

omg i just had the best team in firefight koth legendary

full on revive train every time someone died

people actually using the OS to then revive the next person, beautiful

i think launch site is probably the best FFKOTH map? so many vantage points and such

[fallen atlas]

What game mode does the Christmas map play on?

[keen kayak]

how does anyone actually defend season 5s cosmetics? like if you look at this season you get 50 levels from the battle pass (half the previous seasons) and then you have 40 extra levels from the other events, meaning you are now 10 levels less than the rest of the seasons, but the rest of the seasons all had events too where you could get more cosmetics, not to mention they've made the premium versions of the event passes 500 credits each that you cant earn back. so you are paying twice as much for less content? I get that they have to earn money etc. but does no one else think its a bit scummy the way they have made it seem like extra?

[steady jolt]

50 levels, but it's the same amount of content

There's a blog post explaining the changes, should still be pinned in the #halo-discussion channel. Look for my comments on battle passes and events

Relevant:

...rather than having to unlock a left and right shoulder across two separate tiers of your pass...

Events being purchasable at any time now also mean you won't miss out if you really want something. Plus you get a bonus item if you buy an event pass

[wind finch]

so when are we getting the gritty emote for master chief?
