Probably Alex

[pulsar cobalt]

That employee wanted to show the goods 😂

[twilit vector]

Plays two macths
Games refuse to complete any of my challenge

[obsidian wyvern]

my game has just broke too

[twilit vector]

Game is acting as if i didnt play a the shortest macth of ctf

The first one was 30 minutes eich should of knocked away two of my challenges

Daily and win a macth

[obsidian wyvern]

restarting helped

[twilit vector]

Hope it works for me

It didn't help

I swear when i finish this macth and it still refuses to count towards my challenge im losing it

[shut tendon]

So any tips for the weekly ultimate quest to 'kill 3 enemy spartans from behind with a melee attack'? I feel like the have to be hella dumb in order for me to actually get 3 kills

[normal owl]

PSA before spending your hard-earned $2.49, Meijer french bread is vastly inferior to Walmart french bread. The density and weighty feel gave me a lot of hope, all dashed by its anemic flavor. Like very bland sourdough. Tragic.

[obsidian wyvern]

firefight

it says Spartans but FF works anyway

[obsidian wyvern]

tragic

[shut tendon]

wait really? ❤️

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[shut tendon]

AWESOME

[normal owl]

WM french bread costs half as much too. A cheap commonly found bread that has both great taste and essential texture is a hard find.

And then there's Paul Hollywood, who repeatedly says that he doesn't understand why people would ever buy bread again after learning how to make their own lol.

Because, Paul, we don't all have lavish amounts of time to spend assembling, rising, and baking bread, you silly handshake man.

[elfin glacier]

No way

[twilit vector]

Someone should tell the actor for john in the show that you can tell a story with a helmet on
Its called body language

Easy fix: Daft Punk style helmet that acts as a text marquee.

Or, elcor a la Mass Effect.

[candid solar]

Puppy's helmet from Ruiner

[normal owl]

Perfect.

to be real, this would be helpful in many situations.

"Not actually interested" as she accepts the free drink.

[twilit vector]

You can only get two words off at a time so choose your words carefully i guess

[candid solar]

Not that I care about the Chief helmet thing, but "Text on a screen helmet" gotta be one of my favorite things.

Nah, Puppy's helmet can straight up play videos and such.

[normal owl]

Even better: sometimes a gif encapsulates a response's full tenor so well.

[candid solar]

Actually I think most of the arguments about the Chief helmet thing are argued poorly or in bad faith

[normal owl]

in bad face

[candid solar]

Hmmmmm

Punny

[normal owl]

My actually-funny accuracy rate is low, but once in a while I get a killstreak going.

What a nice knight, checking Jun for lice.

[obsidian wyvern]

@fickle drift you're a sabre fan aren't you, might want this nameplate

[bold sparrow]

Zero, from Borderlands

[daring dirge]

He's almost bald....

[candid solar]

He's doing his best don't bully the knight

[bold sparrow]

Scritchy scritchy scritchy

[daring dirge]

why is the knight smiling 🤨

[fickle drift]

Yeah it’s alright, I like the one we have already tbh

[candid solar]

Pain

[daring dirge]

how long till the season 6 thing?

[obsidian wyvern]

32

[restive yarrow]

is mcc invasion still dead?

when i last played it 2 years ago it was taking me around an hour to find a single match

i was wondering if its still like that

[daring dirge]

32 what?

[gilded gale]

Season 6 lfg

[candid tusk]

All of the Invasion players are patiently refreshing their Halo Infinite playlist screens for it to appear. Join us in our misery.

[gilded gale]

Are we hyped, chat?

[granite sky]

if u wanna play invasion look for it in the custom game browser. there is also RabidsMods server that hosts quality modded invasions in the cgb. it's gametype modding so you don't need to download anything, works like any other map

[restive yarrow]

nah, game browser invasion is really boring

not only is it completely unbalanced, it also has all the problems of a custom browser game mode

like people constantly leaving and destroying the balance of teams for example

[daring dirge]

when is the season 6 thing

[candid tusk]

I'm sure you could LFG some folks dedicated to playing and staying in a session.

[candid tusk]

It's in ~20 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aV4pIIz2p8

[obsidian wyvern]

hours

[candid tusk]

Paper turned in on time this morning? lol

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I was up until 430am

[candid tusk]

Foolish, but at least it's done.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah better to sacrifice my night than a whole year

[bronze breach]

What on earth were u doing rev lol

[candid tusk]

True.

[normal owl]

Hey, if you get the credential, then sacrificing a few nights for something worth a few years is excellent ROI.

[analog knot]

Pretty much yes. Would need an arranged team nowadays.

It should probably be in social to have any relevance.

[candid tusk]

Time to hide the side-bar livestream chat. Forgot how out of hand those get.

[obsidian wyvern]

well, im assuming my year has been saved. that depends on whether i passed or not, which im not entirely confident on this time around

[limber musk]

I think the reg Halo and HCS halo announcements are at different times, with HCS being announced at the top of the hour and reg Halo an hour after that(11P.M. PST is 2 P.M. est so I assume they’ll be different streams?)

[obsidian wyvern]

i was making tons and tons of flowcharts

[hasty zinc]

18 mins right?

[normal owl]

*mints

[hasty zinc]

I GUESS I can take a break from Palworld to watch

[bronze breach]

The good old says where me and my friends rewritten our 2000 word assignment on deadline day because we thought our answers were wrong

Fun times

[bronze breach]

At least it weren't code xD

[obsidian wyvern]

coding is due in 3 weeks, and i havent started learning lol

[bronze breach]

Damn dont u pull an all nighter for that!

[obsidian wyvern]

ill say not again, but its gonna happen

[bronze breach]

[obsidian wyvern]

apparently someone sent the answers though so

[hasty zinc]

I heard you got muted for not doing your homework

[limber musk]

Right now it’s 12:42 est and the post from yesterday states 11 A.M. pt which is an hour 15 from now so I’m confused about HCS stating they’re streaming in 15 minutes.

[obsidian wyvern]

no i finished it and then titan decided to say it was my bedtime and muted me

[bronze breach]

👍

[hasty zinc]

pst is 3 behind EST

[normal owl]

11a PT = 2p ET

[limber musk]

Yes, but what I’m trying to figure out is if there are 1 or 2 streams I need to watch

[normal owl]

Have you not adjusted your watch for daylight savings time lol

[hasty zinc]

just one I imagine

[candid tusk]

You need to watch every youtuber's reaction all at the same time. Multibox this thing.

[obsidian wyvern]

just watch the twitch one to get the drop

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/saber-the-office-dundore-dunder-mifflin-is-a-part-of-sabre-gif-15828024

[limber musk]

In 12 minutes it will be 10 P.M. pt, which according to the latest HCS twitter post is when stream starts, however this conflicts with what the Main Halo Twitter said yesterday, that it shouldn’t start for another hour, that’s why I think 1 stream deals with the HCS roadmap and the other with Season 6.

[obsidian wyvern]

main twitter said in 10 minutes

[steady jolt]

It will be 11am PT in 10 minutes

[forest lagoon]

Double check your time zones

[obsidian wyvern]

11am pt

[hasty zinc]

9 minutes 😏

[limber musk]

But it’s 12:51 est

[hasty zinc]

fix your clock

it's 1:51

[normal owl]

Your life doesn't require you to be on time for anything huh

[forest lagoon]

It's 12:51 central

[limber musk]

There are 5 other people with me who have 12:51 as the current time, I live in Oklahoma.

[hasty zinc]

that's not est....

that's central lol

[normal owl]

LOLOL

[limber musk]

Are you saying we all have the time wrong across 7 different devices

[hasty zinc]

is this bait?

[obsidian wyvern]

octo youre right, it starts in an hour. hcs twitter just confirmed in their latest tweet. our bad

somehow all 4 of us got it wrong

[normal owl]

No, we are saying only you are wrong in believing that you live in Eastern Time. This is shattering your world rn.

[hasty zinc]

I'm so confused right now

[normal owl]

So Halo itself was wrong lol

[hasty zinc]

so no streams start until an hour and 6 minutes from now?

[normal owl]

Oklahoma can breathe a sigh of relief [in Central time].

[forest lagoon]

You are not on EST you are in Central Time

[obsidian wyvern]

lmfao

[hasty zinc]

halo just went live

on twitch

[steady jolt]

The live stream starts in 5 minutes

Where are people seeing wrong times?

[hasty zinc]

I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea

[obsidian wyvern]

sk7tch wave

[hasty zinc]

all I know is that Oklahoma is not EST lol

[steady jolt]

HCS tweeted about the stream being in an hour, but that was an hour ago

[obsidian wyvern]

i was messing with that guy because im pretty sure he was messing with us

[pulsar cobalt]

Guy's they updated the mark IV on youtube

[obsidian wyvern]

bro zug is like a magnet to this

[pulsar cobalt]

you can see it fully now and damn it looks beautiful

[obsidian wyvern]

[hasty zinc]

I love these little bts things

[steady jolt]

Live behind the scenes going on right now haha

[hasty zinc]

that's on rak

[jolly willow]

I'm liking the overhead pre-show camera.

[timid vessel]

better be something cool enough

[hasty zinc]

if cross-core shoulders I'm putting those big ones on everything

the cool looking ones

I know that narrows it down

[steady jolt]

Should be a cool stream :)

[hasty zinc]

binging on that dew

[frail walrus]

lost in the sauce

[hasty zinc]

what is this??

I want that

[forest lagoon]

There are always ways to get it

[normal owl]

In re drops: "you all already know how it works". Way too much faith in the crowd lol.

[forest lagoon]

Honestly XD

[granite sky]

looks so good

[hasty zinc]

it's beautiful

[frail walrus]

holy crap that's amazing

[hasty zinc]

free, let's go

gonna put clown coating on it

if they make it cross-core

[forest lagoon]

OMG the mk4 looks so good in infinite!!

[hasty zinc]

helmet ultimate rewards!

wow

[dreamy stirrup]

🙂

[steady jolt]

Riz's helmet is so good

[frail walrus]

that's huge

and lol Ske7ch "Helmet is staying on"

[hasty zinc]

3 helmet ultimate rewards, crazy

[normal owl]

llove the shoulders

[steady jolt]

Need to get my big bag of W's ready so I can start throwing them out

[hasty zinc]

these on every core

[dreamy stirrup]

🙂

[hasty zinc]

forge lord knows what's up

symmetrical shoulders all the way

[dreamy stirrup]

yeah i'm usually into symmetrical too

[frail walrus]

I am a asym lad myself

[steady jolt]

I'm anti-symmetrical

[hasty zinc]

the only exception I make is rak core, since one of the matching shoulders has a walkie talkie on it

[willow bramble]

Cross-core shoulders is sensational

[steady jolt]

Unsymmetrical

[frail walrus]

Was not a fan back in reach but have 180

[amber mirage]

Depends on the shoulders for me

Usually asymmetric for me, but some things look better symmetric

[frail walrus]

Big left shoulder and then a stylistic right shoulder

in honor of Carter

[obsidian wyvern]

what have i missed

[hasty zinc]

everything

[granite sky]

you need one shoulder thats good for ramming folks and shielding or absorbing like dinosaur head

[faint mantle]

Godddddddddddd

[amber mirage]

MK IV free. Helmets for Silver Team are ultimate rewards.

[faint mantle]

Imagine if the operation lore is about the UNSC receiving Prof. Anders's signal

[obsidian wyvern]

sick, i wanted riz's helmet

thank u

[amber mirage]

Also crosscore shoulders

[obsidian wyvern]

is season 6 this week?

[willow bramble]

February

[hasty zinc]

no this is just an update on Jan 30th

[obsidian wyvern]

is there gonna be a season 6?

[faint mantle]

Have they even said when these changes go out

[hasty zinc]

jan 30th

[willow bramble]

Yeah. There should be seasons all the way through at least the end of this year.

[round laurel]

all i heard was 30th of jan

[pliant monolith]

THE CE AR <333333

[obsidian wyvern]

spirit of fire operation jan 30th

and then its another event

[round laurel]

ohhhh are they getting rid of season passes?!

[compact ocean]

Sup Spartans

[willow bramble]

No those will be back still.

[round laurel]

battle passes*

[obsidian wyvern]

..chimera focused pass 😔

[granite sky]

i see his brain

[willow bramble]

Operations are just mini unlock sessions within seasons.

[smoky token]

ah damn did I miss the start of the stream

[hasty zinc]

yes

[smoky token]

what did I miss

[hasty zinc]

everything

[granite sky]

what was that assault rifle i saw

[compact ocean]

What you guys talking bout?

[round laurel]

yeah but there are two more operations straight after the one of the 30th, so i'm wondering if they're getting rid of season battle passes and replacing them with operations. just thinking out loud.

[obsidian wyvern]

i think so

[jolly willow]

I wish we would get swaps instead of xp boosts in the passes

[obsidian wyvern]

nothing mentioned about a new season

[faint mantle]

January 30th update

he said it

[smoky token]

MA5D??

[obsidian wyvern]

it looks slightly whack lol

[round laurel]

um

[smoky token]

oh is it just a skin for the MA40

?

[steady jolt]

Illusion is so much fun

[jolly willow]

did he call it a season though?

[amber mirage]

Yes

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[hasty zinc]

this is just an update

on the 30th

[steady jolt]

Cool to see the vis on this

[hasty zinc]

whoa

[obsidian wyvern]

this is interesting

[pliant monolith]

oh this is def a social map 😭

[obsidian wyvern]

lol yeah

[steady jolt]

This map is absolute madness

[normal owl]

Reminds me of the inside of a star destroyer or something. Very cool.

[hasty zinc]

there should be a low grav section too, like that one reach map

[obsidian wyvern]

it is a very cool effect

[smoky token]

[candid solar]

Maybe someone can make Midship

[hasty zinc]

ugh

[fickle drift]

Purple map… yay

[hasty zinc]

MIDship

[candid solar]

I HATE MIDSHIP I HATE MIDSHIP I HATE MIDSHIP

[steady jolt]

Mid ship

[obsidian wyvern]

midship wouldve been better if you didnt start with plasma nades

[candid solar]

Midship would be better if it was removed from reality

[hasty zinc]

midship would have been better if they decided not to ever make the map

[obsidian wyvern]

slightly

[candid solar]

Even bigger than new Covenant items, new shades of purple

[obsidian wyvern]

seeing familiar names

[south elbow]

[cedar turret]

Don’t be stern, just go to the bow

[south elbow]

[livid nova]

Any new armors?

[steady jolt]

Ayyyy

Sniper tower

[candid solar]

Nope, they're removing all armors

[obsidian wyvern]

i really hope riz's helmet is first

[candid solar]

Back to CE customization

New plants!

[obsidian wyvern]

aegis are u having fun

[forest lagoon]

Gardening will never be the same

[south elbow]

Halo is my geeeeee

[formal halo]

[forest lagoon]

There already is an amazing Bikini Bottom map, this will make it even better!

[obsidian wyvern]

omg finally

this is actually something ive wanted for ages

huuuge

[old junco]

Is there going to be a battlepass? Or is it just operation passes this season?

[steady jolt]

Wait for it

These teases are sooooo good 😁

[old junco]

Standing by

[queen remnant]

Season 6 - wait for it
Weird naming but I can see it

[frail walrus]

so, so good

[steady jolt]

Floooooooood

[granite sky]

whoaa

[formal halo]

the chat blew up

[queen remnant]

Oh god

[candid solar]

Gooey

[steady jolt]

It was touched on and I think will be again before the stream is over

[obsidian wyvern]

MATCH COMPOSERRRRRR

[hasty zinc]

with what

[obsidian wyvern]

that was a funny cut

the colours aegis

[hasty zinc]

I'm sure others will appreciate it more than me

[steady jolt]

Phantasia <3

[hasty zinc]

not that I don't appreciate it

nvm, I stated that wrong

[obsidian wyvern]

chat is going nuts over her

[queen remnant]

Ok the part of ''we'll be back'' and instantly going to that part it's funny
I expected like a break moment LOL

[obsidian wyvern]

exactly

[fickle drift]

Same xD

[queen remnant]

343 devs are so powerful that they can just change to other people and change clothes in an instant

[old junco]

Damn so probably no new battlepass

[granite sky]

they teleported michael away is he ok?

[fickle drift]

They just spawn in employees and out

[steady jolt]

Michael is back is little Forge box now

Safe and sound

[candid solar]

They let the archangels take him

[queen remnant]

Michael is forever trapped in the Forge caves

[candid solar]

Created psyops team came in and stole him (He knew secrets)

[steady jolt]

Script trigger ran and swapped the spawns out

[formal halo]

man every 10th message has these words: "playable elites". After the covvie forge items the community will want them even more now

[steady jolt]

This is why I close chat and don't read it

[obsidian wyvern]

using zug as my average playable elite, him being this happy over mk4 should keep them quiet for a while

[faint mantle]

The chat is so insane I'm not paying attention to what they're saying

Can someone help me with a summary?

[formal halo]

i mean right now the chat is: wort wort wort, big L, yap yap, plz add elites

[steady jolt]

#1095517429611901009 is a great place to start if you want to get a Forge map into matchmaking

I need to clip this section out

[queen remnant]

Chat in any livestream is not worth to read

[analog knot]

A lot of questions on Desync that I’ve seen. Also a lot of bans.

[obsidian wyvern]

yoo scarab

[normal owl]

really enjoyed hearing the exact plainspoken process for how they identify, test, collaborate, and polish Forge maps for official publication.

[faint mantle]

I'm looking at the chat, I meant the stream.

[bronze breach]

Any s6 news?

[obsidian wyvern]

not exactly

[bronze breach]

RIP

[analog knot]

Sorry, I thought you meant you weren’t paying attention to the chat. Discussion on how maps are taken from community and put into matchmaking.

[celest remnant]

There’s a lot of good info about the battle pass and cross core

[obsidian wyvern]

no match composer yet 😔

[normal owl]

ther eyou go Rev

[steady jolt]

Lol

[celest remnant]

I really hope this guy just whips out the falcon

[steady jolt]

Match Composer is coming!

[queen remnant]

Match Composer talk

[celest remnant]

Revenant as soon as you typed that he just said it

[obsidian wyvern]

I've been wanting this since day 1 so no surprise

wait are we talking about attorney or sketch

[analog knot]

Curious what they will do different than MCCs composer

[normal owl]

One of us knows a whole lot more about this than the other lol

[vapid siren]

im in halo infinite

[analog knot]

Careful she’s about to teleport out

[steady jolt]

No eta on Match Composer right now, in case anyone missed that bit

[vapid siren]

[analog knot]

“Later this year”

[queen remnant]

She is going to disappear now like Michael

[hasty zinc]

LOL

[queen remnant]

LOL

[obsidian wyvern]

who are they gonna teleport in

[steady jolt]

Haha

[formal halo]

hahaha

[obsidian wyvern]

ok this should be interesting

[fickle drift]

rejoinable Ranked matches happening?

[obsidian wyvern]

nothing mentioned on that

[hasty zinc]

imagine if the sofa just falls out on the bottom into a room below and they pull a lever

[fickle drift]

dang

[queen remnant]

HCS now, time to sleep

[obsidian wyvern]

perish

[queen remnant]

Ah wait no, networking

[steady jolt]

You don't want to sleep on this

[formal halo]

first networking, then sleep

[queen remnant]

No sleeping then

[steady jolt]

Don't sleep on HCS

[obsidian wyvern]

if we have EU hcs events 😮

[normal owl]

sleep on a mattress instead

[obsidian wyvern]

also the cosmetics are part of hcs too

[celest remnant]

The HCS cosmetics are confirmed

[obsidian wyvern]

did they show the trailer for it

[hasty zinc]

no leak talk

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I know that, just waiting for them to show it on stream

[celest remnant]

Got it no leak talk

[formal halo]

ah yes microphone is nice

[obsidian wyvern]

it wasn't exactly a leak, they just accidentally put it into a public playlist so people saw it

[hasty zinc]

I know, but still ruins the surprise

for people who don't know

[obsidian wyvern]

fair

[celest remnant]

Oh wait screen look at the screen 👀

[smoky token]

We're considering it a leak

[formal halo]

what was leaked?

[analog knot]

They brought Tashi out so he could sit there for 10 minutes lmao

[steady jolt]

Don't worry about it

[analog knot]

That’s pretty funny ngl like hey here’s this guy okay now back to us.

[obsidian wyvern]

pls give me zeta sky

[normal owl]

Spartan Points, nice!

[queen remnant]

Hey hey they said about regional stuff?

[jolly willow]

FINALLY MCC style exchange might be coming!

[queen remnant]

HUH?

[willow bramble]

Why are people acting like there wont be a season 6?

[obsidian wyvern]

guess our monarch isn't gonna be worth 3k anymore aegis

[steady jolt]

Yes! 😀

[frail walrus]

EZ anti cheat is great to hear

[hasty zinc]

not that I would ever sell my account lol

[queen remnant]

EAC on Infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah lol

[queen remnant]

I am not surprised they finally put EAC or something similar in the end

[obsidian wyvern]

ranked doubles permanent, sick

[foggy ingot]

ugh EAC, I hope they turn on Linux support like the MCC

[obsidian wyvern]

and they didn't say ranked swat hahaha

[normal owl]

Well Rev, at least now we know Match Composer is 2024 for sure.

[obsidian wyvern]

it's smthn

his obsession with midship

[frail walrus]

Ranked Doubles and Ranked Slayer as permanet is amazing

Thank goodness

[steady jolt]

Tashi and I can't be friends anymore

He said moist hahahahaha

That's a free lunch

[obsidian wyvern]

I can finally use my fanatic coating

MK4 looked sick there

[normal owl]

SSG COATING YESSSSS

[celest remnant]

It’s here now I can talk about the coatings

[queen remnant]

Ayyy nice

[normal owl]

the very first thing I bought on Infinite

[jolly willow]

did anyone snip an image of the last screen, the info?

[celest remnant]

Yess HCS is real

[obsidian wyvern]

wonder if envy will return

nvm

[formal halo]

still waiting for the falcon...

[obsidian wyvern]

oh sick I get it for all weapons too

[normal owl]

OH

HALO
this is a 2 yrs dream come true

[steady jolt]

Nothing been mentioned about this at any point

[queen remnant]

G2 S1 🧌

[normal owl]

I am in heaven

[celest remnant]

God I really hope the falcon appears one day 😔

[obsidian wyvern]

maps are too small for the falcon atm

[queen remnant]

Or any new sandbox addition tbh

[celest remnant]

Or the best grav hammer variant still not around “Golf Club” 😔

[dense mason]

No mention of Season 6 yet, but next update looks neat!

[obsidian wyvern]

let's see where these events will take place

YOO THAT BANDIT

[formal halo]

the scorpion and wraith are already too big for the og btb maps

[queen remnant]

Oh god

[steady jolt]

Bandit looks badass

[solemn wyvern]

what are y’all talking about

[forest lagoon]

The community stream

[solemn wyvern]

damn son

[obsidian wyvern]

looks like it came straight out of apex

[forest lagoon]

So pretty

[normal owl]

Time to buy more MS credit.

[south elbow]

Nice

[hasty zinc]

I'll be getting complexity

[obsidian wyvern]

optics colours doesn't make sense but nice

[hasty zinc]

and SSG for sure

[frail walrus]

The SSG visor is amazing

[solemn wyvern]

when are we getting this

[fickle drift]

I missed most of it, do you have to rebuy the first HCS stuff or do you get the unlocks if you already owned them

[obsidian wyvern]

man I said I wouldn't buy anything :/

[obsidian wyvern]

Jan 30th

[hasty zinc]

unlock if owned already

[fickle drift]

Yay, thanks Aegis

[queen remnant]

Too late

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe

[normal owl]

genuinely cannot wait to load up after Jan 30 and literally sit inside Armory for like 2 hrs. This is so freaking fun.

[obsidian wyvern]

salt lake again?

[forest lagoon]

Texas!!!

[solemn wyvern]

where can i watch the stream

[celest remnant]

I’m getting both versions of cloud 9

[forest lagoon]

https://www.twitch.tv/halo

[solemn wyvern]

ty bro

[celest remnant]

I haven’t watched esports but Cloud9 got the coolest looking coating in my eyes

[queen remnant]

One day an event on Europe

[hasty zinc]

man great stuff coming for Infintie

GG's

[obsidian wyvern]

london!!!!!

[steady jolt]

LONDON BABY!!

[normal owl]

Rev let's see you front row!

[queen remnant]

Oh nvm LOL

[hasty zinc]

the major starts on my birthday!!

[obsidian wyvern]

now it depends on who goes lol

wait i think i have exams then oh no

[normal owl]

Can't remember, I thought Stckr you're more up north? Might be worth the trip though!

[obsidian wyvern]

stckrs in Scotland

[steady jolt]

Wife and I might make the trip down

[normal owl]

yoooooooo

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah i have exams those 2 weeks it sits between 😐

[normal owl]

study at the Major

[hasty zinc]

School > Halo

[obsidian wyvern]

that is unfortunate

[normal owl]

Majors > your uni major

[obsidian wyvern]

shifting away from seasons

[steady jolt]

Canis > ursula

[fickle drift]

Do you still earn credits or is that over?

[hasty zinc]

is that a space reference?

[fickle drift]

CU29 ?

[steady jolt]

Operations and the operation pass are how things are going moving forward, shifting away from Seasons - rolling events every 4 to 6 weeks

[normal owl]

oh my stars, you didn't get it

[hasty zinc]

I was just making sure lol

if I didnt' get it, I wouldnt' have asked 😛

[celest remnant]

Wait so now it’s just operations?

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[celest remnant]

The spirit of fire is just 20 tiers?

[queen remnant]

I'll be honest, idk how to feel about shifting away from seasons lol

[normal owl]

haha didn't doubt you got it, just wanted to make the constellation pun

[obsidian wyvern]

id have preferred seasons, but this means majority of content is free

but there might be a lot more in the shop now so who knows

[strong ether]

having operations every month feels like a glorified 30 tier season pass

[fickle drift]

dont think they said

[obsidian wyvern]

i think its 30 tiers
either 20 or 30 i cant remember

[queen remnant]

Considering how they said about "for MCC players this will sound familiar" eeeeeh

[solemn wyvern]

No more seasons, interesting

[queen remnant]

More teams doing future projects apparently, which alr

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont really get that, mcc is just seasons and the exchange

[solemn wyvern]

Campaign DLC when

[foggy ingot]

hopefully we get more Firefight stuff in future operations

[obsidian wyvern]

CA announcement pls

[fickle drift]

I prefer the seasons labeling but w/e

[solemn wyvern]

new projects like…

[normal owl]

They were referring to the Spartan Points system.

[queen remnant]

That's was when they said about shifting season

[obsidian wyvern]

idk if youre watching h8 but they referenced your video

[queen remnant]

The spartan points were much earlier tho

[normal owl]

Well I am living high on the hog with this one.

[obsidian wyvern]

spartan points was referring to earning old cosmetics for free i think

[faint mantle]

I can't wait for the avalanche of people, joining just to type "HALO CONFIRMED DEAD"

[tight remnant]

I don't think I enjoy that

[final pollen]

So, let me get this straight

[normal owl]

or for their twitch drop

[faint mantle]

heeere we go

[queen remnant]

We'll see how it goes tho but this feels eh

[dense mason]

People seem upset, im still hyped haha

[final pollen]

Halo infinite will no longer have season battle pass

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/typing-several-people-are-typing-gif-15407184

[final pollen]

No more 50 items

[tight remnant]

They did say from now on seasons would be 50 tier pass but they changed it again. A bit like the drop pods. They had 2 and no more

[obsidian wyvern]

what does CU29 stand for

[tight remnant]

Content update

[steady jolt]

It's just phrasing for the update

[fickle drift]

damn has it been 29 already

[obsidian wyvern]

ah i just figured

[hasty zinc]

or if you're msft cumulative update

[final pollen]

So we will still get a 50 tier pass then?

[steady jolt]

Don't worry too much about it

[normal owl]

This was so so so so so so great.

[tight remnant]

This probably

[solemn wyvern]

why does it look like they’re in a frat house basement

[tight remnant]

No

[steady jolt]

Seasons are moving away to a focus on Operations and Operation passes.

[tight remnant]

So that's dissapointing. They did start off with a bunch of good news but I think ended on a bad note

[pastel forum]

Seriously no new weapons or vehicles? What is the sandbox team even working on

[steady jolt]

Rolling events every 4 to 6 weeks

[old junco]

No more core battlepasses, just operation passes every 4-6 weeks.

[solemn wyvern]

sand

[obsidian wyvern]

@winter flame @fickle drift going to london hcs lol?

[strong ether]

it sucks that the operation is coming in monthly bro 😭

[final pollen]

Just sounds like they want to give us less for the same amount of money.

[tight remnant]

This has been one of halo infinite's weakest aspects

[obsidian wyvern]

operations are FREE

[old junco]

Basically Infinite will get updates here and there while they work on the next projects mainly.

[harsh vector]

i feel so mixed rn tbh

[gentle tiger]

The fact we’re only getting operations is extremely upsetting. Like… why?

[solemn wyvern]

this

[candid tusk]

The same amount of money is zero.

[steady jolt]

Operations are free for their duration

[keen schooner]

Only 1 dev map and no BTB dev map. Rip to the BTB.

[final pollen]

Not if you want to get the bonus items

[foggy ingot]

Rolling events has the potential to keep things fresh (seasons tended to drag on for me) so I’m cautiously optimistic that they’ll help

[obsidian wyvern]

3 btb maps bro

[final pollen]

Or don’t play during the time

[strong ether]

item, its only one item though

[fickle drift]

but you earn credits as you progress

[old junco]

They are basically winding down Infinite now with Forge pretty fleshed out. They are doing what they did with MCC

[hasty zinc]

ugh 343 why are you giving away so much free stuff instead of charging us

[keen schooner]

That is forge made maps

[steady jolt]

You can buy them if you want, to keep them or get them after they close, buying is entirely optional

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but they said 343 worked alongside them.

also i heard darkmaiming made the first one and his maps are very good

[final pollen]

Do we though?

[steady jolt]

They're still focused on Infinite

[fickle drift]

we have since S2 i think - IIRC.....

[obsidian wyvern]

no, operations dont give credits

[final pollen]

We aren’t having a 50 tier pass anymore

[queen remnant]

I'll be honest, Forge right now is so big and powerful that looks like almost dev ones so

[fickle drift]

mmmmm that sucks then

[zenith flume]

MK IV GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[obsidian wyvern]

if its 20 tiers a month, we are getting 10 more tiers than we would in a season

[jaunty yoke]

I missed the playdate, tuned it at the last minutes and the chat was angry, what was announced?

[strong ether]

i think the only thing i am still bummed out on since release is that theres no assassinations

[queen remnant]

I don't mind at all seeing more forge maps in general

[strong ether]

no more season 6

[foggy ingot]

Especially with all the cool palette customization now, you can make some really cool aliens worlds

[keen schooner]

Yeah but there has been so many BTB maps in the works since 2022. If they launch it comes with the falcon.

[pastel forum]

Exactly

Add SAW, GL/Sticky Det, SMG, Laser, Magnum, and Shotgun for UNSC
Add Needle Rifle, Focus Rifle, Plasma Rifle, and classic plasma pistol functionality
Add Falcon, Shadow, Revenant, and some kind of forerunner vehicle

Literally perfect update right there

[final pollen]

And yet now we don’t have any free credits to buy stuff in the shop

[normal owl]

I personally think it's a good move to do away with seasons if they're going to have operations anyway. Seasons in games are getting to the point where they don't care that you may want to play other games with your time. Having smaller bites you can come in and select at your choosing is a player-friendly move, and they're heaping loads of electable content into the game anyway.

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean those free credits were to buy the pass again

[jaunty yoke]

I feel like you are saying it like this is the end of the game, so I'd like a better explanation

[fickle drift]

i'd prefer that ^

[strong ether]

theyre cancelling seasons and only doing operations.

[pastel forum]

Seasonal Model is gone.
Operations once a month for a new drip feed of content

[lunar parrot]

So uhm, there was a lot of past tense stuff there, huh?

[tight remnant]

I think seasonality helps hype up players to come back in numbers rather than, oh its just one small thing. But more, oh look there's a lot going on let's check it out

[pastel forum]

Prepare for 4 armor pieces and 16 nothingburgers in each pass.

[normal owl]

Rev, get your game dev expert image ready lol

[queen remnant]

Tbh it's doesn't sounds like too much confidence about Infinite future with this seasonal shift to operation but that might be because I'm being cynical and maybe we will see more stuff anyways

[final pollen]

That’s exactly why I’m worried

[jaunty yoke]

Ok but the important things, were there new maps, weapons, modes, vehicles?

[tight remnant]

Well the contents of the operations are already revealed

[normal owl]

True, and committing to a season has a higher chance of keeping a player around for longer.

[next harbor]

its good but i expected more man like no new weapons' or vehicles?

[pastel forum]

We recieve pretty much nothing for weapons and vehicles. We get like 3 btb maps I think, but all forge made oh and a 3 lane arena map

[strong ether]

bro we are at the edge of getting the minecraft treatment :

[pulsar cobalt]

nothing new about eaglestrike is pretty sad tbh litreally got left yet chimera get's more stuff

[final pollen]

They literally took out all the bs in the season passes just to put in the bs by removing the season passes

[keen schooner]

More like they are not making enough money to justify another seasonal pass. I think they are gonna jump ship as soon as they can when the next Halo game comes. They said it before that the game is now feature complete.

[jaunty yoke]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

[pastel forum]

AND another 3 lane arena map.

[queen remnant]

I mean, I kinda see the reasoning behind but we'll see

[keen schooner]

1 Arena map and 3 BTB forge made map. And they are asking the community to make maps for them. LOL. Yep they jump ship from infinite.

[jaunty yoke]

Is it really so hard to program at least just one new weapon?

[obsidian wyvern]

lack of sandbox items sucks tbf

[lunar parrot]

Mark IV is cool tho, yeah??

[final pollen]

I mean, they can’t make the money if the don’t try enough to get it

[pastel forum]

"Hey guys... can you make midship for us"

[smoky token]

balancing is the issue

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 5 just one new year after release had new maps, new modes, new weapons and a new vehicle

[obsidian wyvern]

midship has already been made in infinite shockingly well

[steady jolt]

A ton of work goes into building this stuff out, so yes

[candid tusk]

With the time that has been put into Forge, it's not like dev made maps would be any better. Infinite Forge is insane.

[bronze breach]

:l

[pastel forum]

Well yes, of course, but after 2 years since our last weapon, you think maybe they'd have like... anything?

[jaunty yoke]

There's nothing balanced about Halo 2 and 3 and people love those

[smoky token]

balancing is a notorious issue in both those games

[queen remnant]

You mean, only BR and 2 other weapons?

[bronze breach]

The only balance is imbalance 👍

[final pollen]

Isn’t that kind of the point?

[pastel forum]

^
People think imbalance is horrible. What reason do I have to grab a gun that is perfectly balanced to my own?

[smoky token]

what point

[final pollen]

I mean, halo was developed as a party-fps

[queen remnant]

Oh god

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 5 had no problems adding a lot of weapons and a bazillion of variants for each one

[smoky token]

please dont quote marty

[candid solar]

Too bad it can't escape the being midship problem

[smoky token]

he did not build the game

he did sounds and music

thats it

[burnt frost]

Will I not earn back credits anymore from passes?

[candid tusk]

In Halo 3, I can make a lot of choices about my play with the physics engine. Grenade jumps, jumping on the energy drain equipment. Ying and Yang. Take health to get mad hops. #Balance

[steady jolt]

The Halo 5 model of content releases burned the devs out, it's not sustainable

[pastel forum]

Nope. You can pay $5 to keep your 20 tier pass forever tho!

[keen schooner]

There are no more battlepass in the future. Only operations

[candid solar]

Ah, yes, the thing they explicitly patched out of every map because it was unintended

[jaunty yoke]

Aquarius was already the new Midship

[burnt frost]

So just.. cheaper smaller battle passes but now have to pay more frequently instead of paying $10 to enjoy every season. :/

[candid solar]

It's more like 60 free items with 3 paid per season, but now you can only buy one chunk forever one at a time.

[tight remnant]

Well counter point to that is, we've had two years of halo infinite but only. Shround screen, Bandit (evo), repair field and quantum translocator added as new items I think?

[pastel forum]

Or Halo Reach's skill jumps on Forge World. Jumping Alaska or Montana took time and insans skill but it could change the course of a game

[final pollen]

Compared to 90 items total

[keen schooner]

3 paid season=15 dollars rather than 10 dollars for 1.

[jaunty yoke]

And what's with the focus on new Arena maps?
BTB needs more than any other

[candid solar]

How many of the 90 were free in earlier seasons

[steady jolt]

I'm not sure how this is a counter to my point?

[final pollen]

40

[pulsar cobalt]

So i'm guessing we gonna get alot more stuff in the store

[candid solar]

60 free versus 40 free.

Now I'm not the greatest at math, but I think one's a bigger number.

[pastel forum]

I think he means we're significantly worse off from a content standpoint

[next harbor]

i wanna shoot people with new stuff man

[tight remnant]

It wasn't a sustinable model for long term before, but now it's the complete opposite direction. We have barely gotten new items in two years.

[final pollen]

Doesn’t matter if it’s free if the content sucks

[smoky token]

thats subjective

[candid solar]

That sounds like a problem in your chair, buckaroo

[jaunty yoke]

Haven't had a new BTB map since season 4... in June...

[candid solar]

For example, I dislike the whole "Reach equal attention cake" problem, but others love it.

[pastel forum]

True. Before it was like 40/60 armor/filler

Now it's 20/80 armor/filler

And for $5 more over the same course of time

[bronze breach]

No clue but I'm remain unconvinced to play infinite again lol. Last I played afaik was July 2023

Was kind of hoping for something btb related

[steady jolt]

BTB is getting a refresh soon, I believe

[keen schooner]

It is but it isn't enough.

[candid tusk]

By refresh did they just mean maps, or modes too?

[tight remnant]

The emblem issue does persist for passes and XP boosts being thrown in there too taking up slots

[steady jolt]

Please don't ping on replies, thank you

[steady jolt]

Not sure

[tight remnant]

Maps, they did announce which maps were being worked on

[dense mason]

Been a while since I've seen people this divided.

[jaunty yoke]

Keeping it as a surprise doesn't really help, if they got a cool surprise like Squad Battle was then that's good, BUT ANNOUNCE IT

[steady jolt]

They just did...

[candid tusk]

Right on. My youtube stream subtitles cut out for me at the end. 😦

[candid solar]

More free stuff is alright.

[pastel forum]

For BTB there will be 3 new forge made maps. No new modes.

[candid solar]

I preferred the normal passes, but w/e.

[jaunty yoke]

Free stuff is mid
Where are the new experiences?

[final pollen]

Also, they only confirmed 2 operations, where’s this third operation coming from?

[keen schooner]

1 map illusion (the map with camo in the center) and 3 forge BTB maps. That is all. No weapons or equipment.

[final pollen]

So we’re still only getting 40

[pastel forum]

Also i just realized, where's normal firefight? Wasn't it supposed to come out soon after the KOTH mode?

[jaunty yoke]

I would have half of the armor customization options if it meant I'd have the option to play as an Elite

[bronze breach]

Honestly I dont see there will add anymore weapons or equipment to infinit

[keen schooner]

There is gonna be a rotation for firefight. So most likely there will be a new mode with it.

[dense mason]

They confirmed 3. Spirit, Cyber and Yappenning

[pastel forum]

They only announced new maps for the KOTH mode. They were careful to always add the KOTH part too

[strong ether]

if im being honest, i feel like if they chill out on the armor customization and focused on the weapon sandbox by adding more weapons and vehicles i think a bigger side wouldve been satisfied with the game

[bronze breach]

Was banking on warzone being added to infinite but I moved on from my Hope's lol

[limber musk]

They already have multiple new things they’re working on, it was detailed a while ago

[final pollen]

Yeah you’re right, I forgot about yappening

[tight remnant]

I don't think customization teams are working on sandbox..

They did announce they're hiring more

[strong ether]

warzone and warzone firefight was the only gamemodes i played with H5, and assassinations only for customms

[keen schooner]

At this point. Any big content like warzone isn't gonna happen sadly. 343 is just interested on putting small amounts of content while they work on the next Halo game.

[pastel forum]

Seriously. I haven't changed armor since S2 and I have pretty much everything I'd want. They keep just releasing really weird looking Helmets that I'll never use and the occasional utility or wrist attachment.

[bronze breach]

Warzone was the only reason I played h5 myself

[keen schooner]

Halo reach invasion and warzone I want to return so badly

[solemn wyvern]

Animal Crossing Mode when

[foggy ingot]

I was def surprised Warzone didn’t come with Infinite, it was def one of the best things in H5

[final pollen]

But yeah, I feel like this no season pass thing is going to be detrimental, as a lot of people are going to assume the game is dead

[strong ether]

theres one helmet that removes your spartans chin like completely, i think it was the athlon helmet

[tight remnant]

I think halo 5 set an amazing standard for updates, but it wasns't sustainable. So you have to move to have it be set be a better place

[solemn wyvern]

Some of the helmets are janky, clips with the body armour

[next harbor]

we want new items not new cosmetics this game has become a spartan fashion show

[strong ether]

i think the negative feedback on the campaign ruined the popularity on the game

[solemn wyvern]

some helmets make your spartan look neckless

[tight remnant]

Halo infinite has had to do a lot of catch up with its seasons, and a lot of the early stuff was mostly trying to get back to a point where it would be 'on par'

[limber musk]

Wait we’re hating on never ending customization now?

[next harbor]

too much man

[final pollen]

Weaponwise and vehicle wise yes, but I don’t think literal copy-paste maps was very “Amazing”

[bronze breach]

Surely they could outsource customization work to partner studios and 343 could implement and QA it for balancing before adding it to the game?

[leaden pike]

Infinite is such a joke dude. Worst halo game to date

[tight remnant]

I did like the idea of map remixes personally, they did play differently enough for me

[final pollen]

Not really?

[strong ether]

people are realizing that focusing on customization shouldnt have been a good idea

[strong ether]

worst halo game would be the arcade one

[final pollen]

the one game I can’t play because arcades are dead here

[limber musk]

The thing is people buying customization is the main profit point Infinite has, so downsizing that aspect wouldn’t be good for them.

[smoky token]

dont engage with the troll yall

[strong ether]

i touched it once, but maybe its my opinion tbh

[tight remnant]

QA balance customization?

[leaden pike]

I wish I coulda played the arcade game

[solemn wyvern]

john halo

[smoky token]

I think the idea was for new weapons, vehicles, and maps

[next harbor]

fair but like comon man no new vehicles or new weapons

[strong ether]

fireteam raven, the machine looked sick af tho

[jaunty yoke]

Why is it always necessary to make changes that make fans angry?

[pastel forum]

They've outsourced most of this game.
UI/UX was done out of house and being RE-done by people notorious for CoD's bad UI
Forge was Skybox
Campaign levels were developed out of house
I'm curious what 343 themselves actually did and what was delegated to third party or other microsoft studios.

[final pollen]

I mean, I could play the arcade game… Does anybody have a spare $5,000 I can use to buy the cabinet

[strong ether]

ngl, i'd pay 40 euros for a halo infinite DLC if it included your own spartan as a protagonist

[jaunty yoke]

Wouldn't it be easier to ask Xbox to make their own VR platform

[tight remnant]

Ah.

I think i just mentioned it but at least 343 is hiring more people now

[final pollen]

My point exactly

[pastel forum]

I'd pay $40 for any continuation of the story tbh
Chiefs OR Jerome's

[solemn wyvern]

play as jerome, survival horror

[next harbor]

like im patient ill wait wait for vehicles but no teasers what about that February build

[strong ether]

turning a game to a VR game is a stream of suffering for devs i have heard

probably worse for arcade games maybe

[bronze breach]

Sorry. Let me clarify better lol

I meant partner studios can design and make the equipment, weapon and vehicles with 343 giving them what they want in a brief with concepts. Once done by the partner studios, pass the work back to 343 who QA test it for bugs and balance 5hem with existing weapons and equipment before pushing it live for the game.

[final pollen]

Gimme a $60 full length dlc campaign

[strong ether]

look at the DOOM VR port

[pastel forum]

Honestly a game set during the timeskip between HW1 and HW2 akin to Dead Space could be really cool

[final pollen]

Just put it on the kinect. That’ll go over well

[foggy ingot]

There was someone making a VR mod for Halo (at least the MCC) but last I saw they were hired by Microsoft and had to stop working on it

[jaunty yoke]

If it doesn't stop Capcom, it shouldn't stop anyone

[smoky token]

pretty sure they had people in every other studio, not to mention the fact that they were definitely prototyping and designing - if not building - pretty much everything

[final pollen]

Speaking of capcom, where the heck is Project X Zone 3?

[strong ether]

capcom originated from japan, their workforce is insane

[leaden pike]

Halo infinite has the worst sandbox, worst weapons, worst weapons. The game is so bad. I have no problem with them moving on to working on a new more competent halo game. Assuming they can even make one.

[jaunty yoke]

Xbox owns A TON of studios, enough to release 14 exclusives a year, but for whatever reason they got some doing nothing

[strong ether]

havent you heard

[smoky token]

ok

[final pollen]

They are too busy trying to acquire sony and nintendo

[normal owl]

Stepped away for a minute but I'm assuming we have just been gushing over how awesome the update was. Cannot wait for the tsunami of added customization possibilities.

[bronze breach]

The Coalition studio is now split. They will be working on things for the wider xbox organization now including assisting 343

[final pollen]

No season pass, but yes that is a plus

[jaunty yoke]

WHO CARES ABOUT CUSTOMIZATION WHEN THERE'S NO ELITES, NO NEW WEAPONS AND NO NEW VEHICLES

[leaden pike]

For real

[obsidian wyvern]

who cares about elites

[steady jolt]

[covert dove]

I care. If you don’t look good while killing, why do it?

[tight remnant]

Did anyone see the yoroi shoulders

[leaden pike]

Customizations for a game that’s not very fun to play. Okkkk

[final pollen]

Oh yeah, also no gears 6, but like, where were they supposed to go when they made that bang-up job of a choose your own adventure called Gears 5

[tight remnant]

I do want assassinations to look at myself looking good while killing

[jaunty yoke]

I would be fine with just 3 Spartan cores if it meant playable Elites were an option too

[dense mason]

Elites are customization

[obsidian wyvern]

let's just not have playable elites

[final pollen]

If you beat Gears 5 you know what I’m talking about

[round laurel]

I wasn't aware you are an elite enjoyer, hmm.

[pastel forum]

Customization: 10/10 VERY Happy
Maps: 7/10 nothing special
Playlist: 5/10 until the composer comes out.
Sandbox: 0/10 literally no change in 2 years.

That final point brings this update down SO much. It's the only thing this game is lacking.

[jaunty yoke]

Yeah, don't do any of the things that made Halo 3 cool

[bronze breach]

Heaven forbid if the collection is real. People have forgotten about Gears:UE mess and Halo:MCC issues that lasted for year

[covert dove]

Invasion would be amazing to add though

[strong ether]

ngl i can live with no elites

[worthy ginkgo]

i think it has the best sandbox every weapon is viable something that isnt really the case in older games

[smoky token]

So will the Match Composer replace existing playlists entirely?

[strong ether]

assassinations on the other hand?

[smoky token]

or are you just composing from the playlists

[round laurel]

I don't want symmetrical balancing but Reach wasn't balanced to the point that it was unfun.

[jaunty yoke]

I hate Halo Reach but at least that game understood that the sandbox was more important than customization, and it had Elites

[final pollen]

Assassinations just slowed gameplay down and allowed people to steal your kills easier

[smoky token]

assassination was always a gimmick, same with elites

[dense mason]

Never played as an elite and never will, I don't care if they get added personally. Also I think people got way too excited over leaks and never realized no new sandbox items were ever confirmed

[pastel forum]

From what I understand, it's going to operate like MCCs.

Choose Player Counts
Choose Modes
Hit Search

[steady jolt]

It will work a little differently than MCC, but I'm not sure how much they've shared so far. Need to go back and watch

[strong ether]

ok and, theyre fun and cool

[final pollen]

Fun and cool yes, but arguably unneeded

[jaunty yoke]

300 colors for your Spartan, 0 new vehicles

[strong ether]

then we shouldnt have customization yes? Because that means we are easier spotted if we are using brighter coating or brighter colours

[bronze breach]

Just go back to red v blue. Problem solved

[pastel forum]

Counterpoint, armor was also un-needed. No reason we couldn't all be MK V. forever. But for the exact reason of looking cool and customization, they added armor sets lol

[round laurel]

I can't, it's not on Youtube anymore.

[bronze breach]

🤣

[final pollen]

Both of you are absolutely correct

[jaunty yoke]

Halo 5 had the option to disable assassinations, giving options to the player is better than limiting them

[faint mantle]

Don't tread there, Pixel.

[final pollen]

Customization is also, arguably, unneeded.

[pastel forum]

Chose my words very carefully for that purpose dawg...

[tight remnant]

Halo 5 takes it by far for sandbox I say.

[strong ether]

halo 5 had the best sandbox imo

[final pollen]

Infinite can’t be called infinite until AT THE LEAST all old weapons from past games are brought back.

[tight remnant]

Infinite still has some items in sandbox which could be better I think

[final pollen]

and vehicles

[jaunty yoke]

Do we really need all the shoulder pads and knee pads we have?

[tight remnant]

As crazy as some people might think, that would honestly be fun to strive toward

[final pollen]

Maybe equipment too. Repair shield should also function as a power drain for enemy players

[round laurel]

Customisation options and additional gameplay updates aren't mutually exclusive.

[strong ether]

thats too unbalanced lmao

[normal owl]

Understandable and it would be fun to see a lot of new sandbox items added. I do understand how they would reach the opposite conclusion though: to disturb something carefully balanced as little as possible to try and polish it better and better, like perfecting a good steak vs continuing to add flavors to the menu. Both sides are perfectly understandable though.

[tight remnant]

I don't think they reached a carefully balanced experience with infinite's sandbox

If you have a lot of flavours, using that analogy. You can pick and chose which items to have in certain experiences which make it more balanced too

[final pollen]

I mean, it’d just have to take the same amount it heals for whatever team didn’t place it doen

[pastel forum]

I don't want to eat the same steak at every meal for 3 years lol.

Add new seasonings, add new flavors, new sauces

[final pollen]

And ensure it can’t kill obviously

[normal owl]

Yeah I get that.

[tight remnant]

And sometimes you have to go wild

[pulsar cobalt]

You know what i really hope all the cores and customization carry's over to the next one

[strong ether]

probably not

[pastel forum]

You know it won't. Not enough money to be made there.

[final pollen]

It won’t.

[normal owl]

I guess, coming from the H5 Warzone days, I can see one perspective where they'd want to avoid the wild weapon/vehicle meta roller coaster.

[final pollen]

Sadly… RIP nerf dart blaster skins

[round laurel]

Guys, we really don't know if the cosmetics will carry over to the next game or not. I believe Call of Duty does it, but obviously it ain't the norm.

[normal owl]

I personally enjoyed that roller coaster but I'm a very casual player lol

[pastel forum]

CoD did it most recently because MW3 was originally going to be a DLC for MW2.

[final pollen]

I love the chaotic gamemodes, all old weapons would be pure chaos

[strong ether]

there was some dude in footedghosts chat that was trolling saying that people should switch over to cod instead of playing halo 💀

[final pollen]

I mean, I still prefer even the crappiest halo game to CoD

[trim stratus]

Does anyone know when the ranked Reset will be?

[final pollen]

But I mean, there has to be an attempt, I won’t accept hot garbage

[strong ether]

next.. Operation?? I guess since seasons are discontinued they'll reset when a new operation is there

[trim stratus]

Very short window 4-6 weeks?

[strong ether]

monthly? its not that short tbh

[trim stratus]

Definitely is for the casual

[bronze breach]

Tbh I think new weapons and vehicles would bring me back to infinite but the chances seems low of that happening 😦

[strong ether]

then dont play ranked if you dont want to suffer for it

[strong ether]

seems next to impossible, its gotten so bad for me im playing destiny 2 more than halo

its like im in two toxic relationships

[trim stratus]

Sounds very gatekeeper.

[granite sky]

the falcon would be a nice addition because it would mean a whole new set of forge maps are capable. maps were you fly the falcon in first stage like the good modded invasion maps in MCC

[bronze breach]

Ouch. I abandoned destiny 2 for halo infinite and then stopped playing infinite since July 2023.

Since July 2023 I stopped gaming and lost my passion generally. Maybe I've outgrown gaming lol

[strong ether]

not gatekeeping, its just i dont find ranked worth it for a emblem you cant customize

[trim stratus]

Yeah doubt tbh.

[obsidian wyvern]

elites was a downside

oh he's muted, my job is done

[final pollen]

Elites were…. kind of broken tbh

[granite sky]

elites were a nice part of h3 im glad they made it

[final pollen]

They had different settings and hitboxes from spartans

[strong ether]

i didnt like playable elites, they were between uncommon and rare in halo reach

[final pollen]

Like, in reach, they sprinted faster than spartans

[trim stratus]

Yeahh they were cool for their time

[granite sky]

it made the game unique and fun for a lot of people, game is all fun

[strong ether]

they sprinted slower. Their walkspeed was faster

[final pollen]

They were cool, but not for a level playing field

[trim stratus]

But nowadays I'm against them. I don't think they would hold up

[candid solar]

Halo infinite Collection

[final pollen]

Did they? I thought they walked slower but sprinted faster

[strong ether]

thats the spartans

[trim stratus]

They jumped higher too😂

Springy legz

[strong ether]

but tbh, they had a big head saying "shoot me!" since they were taller

[trim stratus]

Elite customization in halo infinite would have been crazy nbs

[faint mantle]

Their head:

[final pollen]

They also can rake more shots

[strong ether]

thats just halo 3, i grew up playing halo reach

how did you find that specific clip so fast too 💀

[final pollen]

Bro literally just said “Also Elites:”

[faint mantle]

I remember a lot of videos and who sent them, so I retrieve them

[trim stratus]

Flew between his jaw. Good hit box.

[candid solar]

Merty has an itemized list.

[faint mantle]

After that it's just a matter of scrolling down

[strong ether]

i can barely remember someones name dawg

[faint mantle]

"BRSBE" isn't easy to remember, so I agree.

[normal owl]

D2 for sure tries to keep you in a monogamous gaming relationship. I just had a messy breakup with it, and it kept all my money in the divorce.

[candid solar]

Did it hit him in the jaw? Are you sure?

[empty zenith]

what is this section on halo reach when you are in space and you have to fight seraphs and banshees 😭

[trim stratus]

1000% 🙂

[candid solar]

I mean, are you really really sure?

[proper granite]

lmao

[trim stratus]

Looks like the jaw to me

[amber mirage]

I wasn't aware their jaws were outside their enclosed helmets

[candid solar]

What's crazy is that it was red reticule the entire time too

[sinful karma]

It's starting to get really annoying how every time I go on youtube I see a video called "Halo is dead!"

[proper granite]

yall really analyzing this

[strong ether]

looks like the neck ate the bullet

[strong ether]

im trying to distract myself from the results of the stream fr 😭

[trim stratus]

Halo bs is so common I stopped clipping it. I just accept it as the nature of the game

[sinful karma]

also when you pulled the trigger the reticle was in the dead center of the neck so idk

[candid solar]

I mean, it's not hard. 5 seconds of analysis is all you need.

https://giphy.com/gifs/CCKoSMo1VpeGitOK6O

[proper granite]

🧐

[pulsar cobalt]

I hope infinite will still get some sandbox items i mean this isn't really the end if you think about it

[strong ether]

i play d2 for the storyline tbh

[trim stratus]

.... I hope the cap was clear...
Doesn't take alot to see that hit box was complete trash

[candid solar]

Diablo 2's storyline is alright.

[strong ether]

i meant destiny 2

[candid solar]

Ew.

[proper granite]

lmao gross

[trim stratus]

Weird how they're changing the season model

[obsidian wyvern]

2 years and one new weapon is really bad

[smoky token]

agreed

[strong ether]

the story is good, its just the execution of it is so so bad

[normal owl]

I do enjoy how many resources they can leverage to make big story changes seasonally: very luxurious. If I miss a season, I'll watch the cutscene movie.

[smoky token]

so to be clear, operations are 100% free but you can spend 500 creds to have access to it forever

am I correct in saying this?

[trim stratus]

Don't forget $1000 worth of cosmetics!

[obsidian wyvern]

• an exclusive item, which is the other ar model for this pass

[strong ether]

in my honest opinion the cosmetics are optinal

optional,

[trim stratus]

Ngl I'm dripped out..

[strong ether]

the only thing that sucks is that xbox DLCs dont go over to PC

[hasty zinc]

not possible

there's always drip to be dropped

[normal owl]

draped in drip they drop in the shop

[hasty zinc]

what do you mean?

[strong ether]

i'd rather have the season mdoel

[strong ether]

if you purchase Destiny 2 DLCs on your xbox console they dont go over to PC

[hasty zinc]

oh
