general-chat

[void magnet]

This stuff just really hits home for me personally. Company I work for had layoffs not long after I joined. Before I was pretty optimistic and really believed in the good will of everyone involved but after watching so many people I worked with get let go, even the one who referred me to the company to begin with, my entire perspective just completely shifted and I’ve realized that the only one on your side in this business is yourself

[candid solar]

And ODST was $60.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh we talking about Spartan strike and assault

namely the 2 best games in the halo franchise??

[queen remnant]

SO TRUE

[full kite]

Love me some ODST 🤤

[keen badge]

AMA going on in General Discussion for Halo! Ask me anything!

[smoky token]

yeah for what they are, they are NOT bad games

[steady jolt]

Palmer's backstory was pretty cool

[keen badge]

Ill pretend I know the answer!

[frank bronze]

Long campaign with its own identity? Absolutely

[queen remnant]

Sorry for what happened to you 🫂

[void magnet]

Spartan Assault was best 343i game

[queen remnant]

Long?

[void magnet]

Unironically

[full kite]

Was there lore in spartan assault ?? I never played it because that’s never been my genre

[candid solar]

Lmao, what rock did you crawl out from under? ODST was panned for being short and adding effectively nothing over 3. And I say that as someone who likes its campaign.

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[candid solar]

I mean, it's also the only good campaign Bungie ever shaped, but that's besides the point.

[void magnet]

It’s really good, I think Palmer might be my favorite 343i character after playing it.

[frank bronze]

Felt realllllly long for me, like Halo 5

[obsidian wyvern]

when I was forced to go to do the weekly grocery shopping with my parents, they'd take about 2 hours to finish. I'd just spend that time in the phone section playing the halo mobile games lol

[full kite]

You don’t like halo 2?

[void magnet]

Just ignore her in SPOPS

[candid solar]

Part of me was joking, because 2's campaign's not bad, but it's also not exactly what I'd call great.

[full kite]

That’s understandable

[candid solar]

Solid C+ on the American grade scale.

[full kite]

Which of the halo campaigns was better to you?

[frank bronze]

2

[void magnet]

2 peak fosho

[obsidian wyvern]

but making a second game is milking the franchise!!!!

[livid oyster]

C+ . What

[full kite]

Not ODST vs 2, but of all the halos

[livid oyster]

[candid solar]

I don't criticize off of nostalgia. I criticize off of content.

[frank bronze]

Anything after a 4th installment is milking

[candid solar]

Weird, you've posted more than 4 times here.

[full kite]

That’s arbitrary

[steady jolt]

So Reach, then

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[smoky token]

Oh boy do I have news for you…

[frank bronze]

What does that even mean

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm really really hoping the concept for warrior for infintie makes it in

[queen remnant]

Real

[full kite]

Random

[candid solar]

4, 5, CE, ODST.

[smoky token]

subjective, opinionated

[frank bronze]

Ah

[candid solar]

Not in that order but for the FPS games, those are the campaigns I liked.

[obsidian wyvern]

I love how through all of this, zug just randomly comes in thinking about nothing but customisation options in infinite

[steady jolt]

Lol

[void magnet]

Anyway I’m out, Halo 2 peak. Screw Microsoft and a big middle finger to layoffs gnight everyone

[candid solar]

The rest of good options but not enough to make me go and play them unless I can speedrun part of it.

[full kite]

Zug has the coolest spartan

[candid solar]

Am I allowed to call people divas?

[full kite]

Bye @void magnet

[frank bronze]

Who’s this zug guy?

[steady jolt]

[obsidian wyvern]

he's in your walls

[candid solar]

God, you are such a diva.

[frank bronze]

Zuckerberg?

[full kite]

Is that ONI thing also mod only @steady jolt

[steady jolt]

Yes, please don't ping me though. Thanks

[full kite]

Oh sorry

[obsidian wyvern]

there's no gif of Zuckerberg getting stabbed by an elite at the start of halo 4

[frank bronze]

Why not?

[round laurel]

Well now you're never going to get mod for that infraction.

[smoky token]

SO IM NOT THE ONLY ONE

[full kite]

I don’t think I have the patience to mod here 🫤

[frank bronze]

Modding should be a paid job

Discord’s executives should be grateful

[round laurel]

Yeah modding takes a lot of time.

[steady jolt]

Here's my secret to moderation

[full kite]

I’m too anti-confrontational

[frank bronze]

I’m too lazy

[pulsar cobalt]

Just how it be sometimes haha 😂

[steady jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/chill-destress-woosah-calm-down-relax-gif-5102209

[full kite]

Look at zug’s spartan @frank bronze

[frank bronze]

Why’s it so small

[obsidian wyvern]

his Spartan takes up more of the pfp than your thing does of your pfp

[frank bronze]

It’s so small I wish we could zoom in

[obsidian wyvern]

reason 2 as to why I prefer discord on browser

[frank bronze]

A lot of us are on the move

No one has time to be on a computer I imagine

Unless they work on a computer of course

[obsidian wyvern]

pretty big for me 🤷‍♂️

[frank bronze]

Pretty blurry

It looks like AI art no offense

[full kite]

It looks fine to me

[obsidian wyvern]

ok you're just making stuff up

[left bone]

looks fine to me

[frank bronze]

Look I’ve just got bad vision or something

[obsidian wyvern]

[frank bronze]

This server needs more extroverts

[left bone]

no

[obsidian wyvern]

wait I didn't realise this thing underneath was part of the gif LOL

[smoky token]

you’ve been here all of 10 minutes sir

[frank bronze]

I know

[round laurel]

I'm already exhausted.

[pulsar cobalt]

That's cursed haha

[left bone]

whats a specsaver

[obsidian wyvern]

guess this is a joke only like 4 of us here would get

[steady jolt]

What is that gif lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

idk I just wanted something that said Specsavers 😩

[steady jolt]

[hushed sigil]

Anyone what to play campaign?

[elfin glacier]

[viral dune]

The one in the middle looks like one of those knight helmets from mcc

[pulsar cobalt]

one in the middle is the warrior helmet with a brim 🙂

[full kite]

The bottom middle one is my favorite

[pulsar cobalt]

They all so good and i hope 343 brings them all

[full kite]

I wish the Achilles armor from 5 came back

I was only ever able to get the armor but not the helmet

[elfin glacier]

hi ickty spartan

[viral dune]

Hi

[elfin glacier]

i stole (took after asking) many breakfast items today

[frank bronze]

I’m sorry guys

[full kite]

For what

[viral dune]

Hi sorry guys, I'm Icky Spartan

[full kite]

Nice

[candid solar]

I don't know why you are apologizing, but I will never accept it.

[full kite]

😂

I can’t tell if that’s sarcastic or not

[cedar turret]

An apology is like a simile. It only matters if you mean it and then doesn't fix anything.

[wintry ferry]

Good afternoon:)

[full kite]

Hey, did you get your MCC to work?

[gritty stirrup]

So with no seasonal updates for infinite, do we still get the comp ranking nameplates and emblems?

[fickle cloak]

I am a little upset, some credits I purchased through steam didn't go through all though the charge to my card did and all halo support basically said is "we can't help you or refund you good luck"

[smoky token]

contact steam support

they’re usually pretty good with this stuff

[fickle cloak]

Thanks I will try that

[spark tendon]

Yo can someone help me out with an issue im having on MCC for steam?

[civic walrus]

is it for any of the games on MCC in particular?

[smoky token]

#1075989764026675210

[spark tendon]

The game itself isn't the issue, its the ability to connect to the servers i think? I get a permanent loading symbol in the bottom left, no friendslist, and all my servers say unavailable.

[smoky token]

^

[celest remnant]

I might sound like an idiot for asking but I’m curious, is ranked more fun compared to casual?

[candid tusk]

I had to hunt through my steam library to remember what this was from. "In Silence".

[tawny flint]

Someone silver or gold down to play ranked matchs?

[full kite]

Solo isn’t imo, it’s very sweaty - but your rank itself probably plays a part in that

[tawny flint]

I need to find some way to play Halo Infinite ranked arena in Brazil. Its being very (almost imposible) hard find ranked matches…
#Does anyone know any way I can do to get it? Maybe use a vpn for xbox? someone has some tip?

[forest relic]

i have arrived

[limber monolith]

Ia there a section here for MCC?

[cedar spruce]

Me when I find the gloomy mf graffitiing buildings in ODST

[frank bronze]

Everything I’ve said

I sounded way too aggressive and am a malignant narcissist to everyone on this server… I’m sorry for what I’ve done

[hearty spire]

Huh

[celest remnant]

Honestly ranked where 3 other people got mic are taking would be fire @full kite

[full kite]

Oh yeah for sure

[fickle drift]

Hello

[old garnet]

Do they still sell or make halo mega construction sets?

[tight remnant]

yes

[lapis dirge]

What’s popping chat

[manic remnant]

No more Halo 3 Refueled?

[trim sundial]

😦 I enjoyed refueled

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm 50/50 on this

the playlist didn't need to be there since the maps were out into other playlists.. and majority weren't great

but this was the only social 4v4 br starts playlist 🙁

watch the opinions change when they experience this

[candid solar]

Xdefiant moment

[elfin glacier]

what a pandering advert

also it's not like they're being truthful. as long as nobody can assess the server side code it's a black box.

[elfin glacier]

can't wait for another round of yahoos stumbling around and trying to convince everyone this game is the second coming of christ

frankly more proprietary games should just claim they don't use sbmm and use it anyways. Just rig it every couple games to make it look random

[obsidian wyvern]

that's also true I guess

I'd hope that's not the case because I wanna see it fail horribly

[elfin glacier]

same 🙏🪿

[silk narwhal]

Is armour lock still in halo multiplayer

[steady jolt]

Was only ever in Reach

[silk narwhal]

Is there a way to get a 12 month subscription to game pass so I don’t have to pay every month

[obsidian wyvern]

buy 12 months of gamepass

[silk narwhal]

What’s everyone’s least favourite map and mode for halo infinite

[silk narwhal]

K. I probably won’t do that yet

I’m not going to renew my ultimate game pass I only got it because I was kinda low on money at the time and it said I could get14 days for £1 because it was my first time getting game pass

[wintry plank]

Idk if that bot boot camp mode still exists but that's boring and that spartan training yard map is also very boring

[silk narwhal]

So I’m going to let this run its course and expire so I can get the console game pass which cost less and I don’t plan on needing gamepass anywhere else

Please tell me I’m not the only one who did this

[steady jolt]

Just a note, the console game pass tier doesn't include online play. You need core for that

It's a bit weird how they do it

[steady jolt]

Core -> includes online play and like 40 games from the library?
Console -> doesn't include online play, access to the entire game pass catalog

[steady jolt]

Thanks

[silk narwhal]

Do I need both subscriptions or?

[obsidian wyvern]

what are you looking for

[steady jolt]

If you want to play multiplayer games, you need at least Core

[agile heron]

you'd be better off with ultimate at that point

[silk narwhal]

Are you asking me that question or someone else

[obsidian wyvern]

f2p multiplayer games do not need a subscription. you can play online for free*

and yes it was to u

[silk narwhal]

So with the console version I don’t get online pay at all

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[agile heron]

unless the game is F2P

[silk narwhal]

I thought the part of the point of gamepass was to replace Xbox live

[obsidian wyvern]

thats the core tier

[steady jolt]

That's what Core did

[agile heron]

if you want online play for all games and the whole game pass library, go for ultimate

[steady jolt]

It's basically a name swap

[silk narwhal]

Thanks guys I didn’t know that

[agile heron]

It really is odd that console gamepass doesnt come with Live...

[obsidian wyvern]

Core: online multiplayer access, ~40 games you can play whilst sub is active
Console: just gamepass library, no online play
Ultimate: gamepass library and online play + cloud gaming

[agile heron]

but i guess thats where the draw of ultimate is

[silk narwhal]

Also any o y’all wanna add me on Xbox rq just note I don’t have a mic

[agile heron]

Ultimate also gives you access to PC game pass

[silk narwhal]

Also where are you all from if you don’t mind sharing

[agile heron]

oh yeah, i havent set up my roles again

im Aussie

[obsidian wyvern]

does PC gamepass have games that console doesnt. i know its library is smaller but i thought everything there was already on console

[silk narwhal]

True but my laptop I don’t think can run most of the games on gamepass that’s why initially I was going to get the console version after the 14 days was over

[obsidian wyvern]

the only reason i get gamepass ultimate is for the cloud gaming tbh

[silk narwhal]

It’s a dell laptop it’s a generic laptop it has windows 11

[agile heron]

I just have the PC gamepass at this point, I barely use my xbox

[obsidian wyvern]

i only use my xbox for titanfall 2 lol

[agile heron]

its on PC game pass ;p (idk if its on xbox too)

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah its on gamepass, but progress doesnt carry over platforms

[agile heron]

yuh, Respawn seems to have lots of issues with that lol

[obsidian wyvern]

i still dont have apex cross progression 😩

[silk narwhal]

Btw I know most of everyone here probably knows this but if some people here don’t have a laptop or a computer and are thinking of getting one. Do not get Chromebooks. They are worthless. If you’re looking to get a computer get one with windows because someone correct me if I’m wrong there isn’t a better option than windows operating system because it can do everything

[obsidian wyvern]

not that im gonna play much on my switch, but still wanted it

[agile heron]

tell me about it, I played a ton on my PS4 and then switched to PC and just had to start from scratch, that was many many seasons ago and i've stopped playing now

[silk narwhal]

Is there a better operating for computers system than windows

[agile heron]

fat chance ill get my progress moved over

[silk narwhal]

Just out of curiosity

[agile heron]

not really if you want to play game pass games

Linux is good, but if you're not super familiar with PCs it can be a drag at the start

[obsidian wyvern]

i played apex for the movement and then i discovered titanfall, couldnt really go back

[agile heron]

amen

[obsidian wyvern]

made a horrible realisation. im so close

[silk narwhal]

Anyone know why the slow down is 10 seconds and not 5 seconds

[obsidian wyvern]

i wanna get all the achievements before i hit 1k though

which i guess i could do

[silk narwhal]

How do I find 12 month subscription for gamepass

[agile heron]

I started from the first TF game, but dropped off and didnt play TF2 when it dropped and feel sad now i missed out on that

I loved Apex, but got bored of it pretty quickly after how restrictive the movement felt

[obsidian wyvern]

honestly its still pretty active. that recent blow up a few months back got the game in decent shape. goes up to 5k players during peak eu times

[agile heron]

Idk if there is a 12 month sub for game pass, i think its just monthly or you buy 12 months of xbox live

[obsidian wyvern]

5k on xbox anyway

[agile heron]

since Xbox Live transfers over to gamepass ult

[obsidian wyvern]

there are 12 months offers

[agile heron]

CDKeys 👀

[obsidian wyvern]

wait £40 is such a good deal

i didnt even realise what i was looking at

oh no thats gamepass core, makes sense

[silk narwhal]

Is cdkeys reliable I don’t want to get scammed

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah they are

ive bought plenty from them, never had a problem

[steady jolt]

CDKeys is... eh. As long as you steel clear of places like g2a and Eneba
Don't risk your account with stolen codes

[silk narwhal]

I think if I want to play it smart until I I get enough money so I have enough for renewal subscription I think it would be best doing a 3 month of ultimate first right

[obsidian wyvern]

now that youre on xbox, i guess you should learn about microsoft rewards

[steady jolt]

If you're able to, sign up for Microsoft rewards and start earning some points. You can redeem points for Game Pass

hah

[agile heron]

yurrr

[steady jolt]

Also, look into the Xbox Ambassadors program, they also have Game Pass rewards

[silk narwhal]

How do we know this isn’t a scam website though

[obsidian wyvern]

i signed up too late for gamepass this month :(
gonna miss the 1k despite doing all the achievements

[silk narwhal]

It very well could be

[agile heron]

i do this, I use it to get Credits, tho the exchange rate for Rewards Points to Aus bucks kinda sucks

[silk narwhal]

Also question are all the halo games permanently on gamepass

[obsidian wyvern]

how do i know its no fake?

[agile heron]

almost every xbox game is

[agile heron]

all halo games are

[obsidian wyvern]

i wonder if anyones got 999

[silk narwhal]

I’m m talking about cd keys

[agile heron]

Howd you get so manyyyy??

[obsidian wyvern]

cdkeys you can trust

[agile heron]

how long have you been at it for?

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont even have much, lets see stckrs lol

on and off for 2 years. playing with friends on pc gives me 250 everyday. i know theyre gonna get rid of it soon because its too good

[agile heron]

I have Microsoft Start on my phone and bing search setup there and then pc gaming with that 250

[obsidian wyvern]

wait no 4 years i think. i forgot its 2024

[agile heron]

how do you check lifetime stats btw?

[obsidian wyvern]

https://rewards.bing.com/ do the dashboard stuff

[obsidian wyvern]

https://rewards.bing.com/status/

[agile heron]

have also been doing htis

[silk narwhal]

Just for future clarification if you are talking to me and this could probably go for everyone else. Reply or ping if they allow the through the role. Im just saying this just to avoid any confusion. Make sense?

[obsidian wyvern]

11k doesnt seem like a lot

[agile heron]

I guess ill have to spend a few more years at it lol

[agile heron]

11k bonus holy moly

and stckr too, yall are crazy with it

[obsidian wyvern]

rok had 600k at one time. i think he spent quite a bit though

[steady jolt]

I spent 130k got an Elite Series 2 Core for a fiver haha

[agile heron]

O_O

[silk narwhal]

.

[obsidian wyvern]

how long ago was that, like just over a year now right

[steady jolt]

Yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

doesnt feel like that long, damn

[steady jolt]

Sure :)

[agile heron]

I need this sort of dedication in my life, to get something so spency for so cheap is the dream

i just like getting my lil spartan credits

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah im more impressed that people can save that much without spending it

and im good with money too

[steady jolt]

I'm back down to 24k, bought some more Game Pass

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[steady jolt]

About to spend 30k on a gift card to buy my nephew a new controller

[obsidian wyvern]

this is like the third week in a row where ive forgotten to get my puzzle piece on the 7th day

[obsidian wyvern]

thats nice of you

[steady jolt]

I'm PARANOID

Somehow this one got reset back to zero a few days ago, but i didn't lose anything

Just a few more days 😩

I've started using the Bing mobile app for all this, web just... doesn't track

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah they nerfed the website

[silk narwhal]

Is there anyway I can suggest stuff that might improve the server. I have an idea for something that everyone can use to report scams they get in dms or in the server or basically anywhere. So awareness of such scams can be spread and help try to prevent people from getting scammed or hacked

[obsidian wyvern]

i feel like most people who are in here are aware of scams tbh

[steady jolt]

We have @bleak yoke if you want to report scams, but we're usually aware of them before anyone sees their DMs

Got extensive logging set up

[obsidian wyvern]

panic

[steady jolt]

Best thing to do with scammers, is report the Dms and block them
Let Discord handle it

[silk narwhal]

True but it isn’t impossible to get scammed especially if it’s a type of scam or new technique of an known scam that nobody knows about

[obsidian wyvern]

??? mine got reset but i 100% did it yesterday

[silk narwhal]

I doubt discord pays attention to most of the reports people do

[obsidian wyvern]

im never gonna finish this again lol

[steady jolt]

Been a loooong time since we had anything new
Steam gifts, onlyfans, "I accidentally reported your profile", "hey, want to beta test my game?"

[steady jolt]

Oh they do

[silk narwhal]

How do you know

[bronze breach]

Source: trust me bro

[steady jolt]

Sending in reports, speaking with staff, watching and monitoring activity over time

[silk narwhal]

Also is there any way i can eventually get embed permission or something

[steady jolt]

There's a danger in "they won't do anything so I won't report it", which leads to nothing being reported and nothing being done

Same with "someone probably reported already, so I won't bother"

[silk narwhal]

So I can use images as a reference to what I’m talking about sometimes

[steady jolt]

Need the Inheritor role, which involves sticking around for a while, being active and keeping it clean :)

[silk narwhal]

Also are warnings permanent or temporary

[steady jolt]

They'll expire after a period of time

[obsidian wyvern]

i still think recons inheritor reveal was one of the funniest things to happen in the server

it may have been in the infinite channel which we cant see anymore though

[bronze breach]

What happened? I dont come here as often since busy irl

[silk narwhal]

K just wondering because I did get one it wasn’t too serious I put a prohibition word in a long message I was typing yesterday I didn’t even mean it in a profane way just as a descriptive way

[steady jolt]

LMAO

[bronze breach]

Lmao I remember that

[steady jolt]

I know that URL off by heart now, ain't no fooling

[silk narwhal]

It wasn’t to bad but I’m not gonna say what it was here

[obsidian wyvern]

i was gonna click it too 😩

[steady jolt]

Unfortunately some tamers terms have needed to be filtered here, because people are weird, creepy or inappropriate with them.
Unless you're doing it constantly or over very short periods of time, nothing you really need to worry about

[severe sequoia]

Is there any information about the next halo game

[bronze breach]

No

[obsidian wyvern]

thats literally it

[steady jolt]

^

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah, mb

[bronze breach]

Meanwhile I stay in hope for a Gears reveal this year

[severe sequoia]

Is it true that halo infinite will be the newest game for 10 years

[obsidian wyvern]

CA news

[bronze breach]

I got rid of my gears fansite this week

[steady jolt]

No, see the post I linked to above

[severe sequoia]

Ok

[bronze breach]

Got rid of hosting but kept the domain

[obsidian wyvern]

you had a fansite?

[quiet sluice]

H̷͎̋ẻ̶̈́l̶̋̿l̴̊̚o̷̅͑

[bronze breach]

Yh but it more an extension of the twitter page. I abandoned it after Gears 5 support ended lol

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[silk narwhal]

Rev check your dm

[obsidian wyvern]

my dms are off

[silk narwhal]

K

[bronze breach]

So this week I cancelled webhosting

[obsidian wyvern]

ah

[bronze breach]

What's a bit dodgy, I read I need to call customer support to cancel the contract

What an odd way to cancel webhosting.

[obsidian wyvern]

ive never looked into webhosting so i couldnt comment

[bronze breach]

So I just switched to move everything to a domain only contract and keep the domains

[obsidian wyvern]

in case gears ever comes back?

[bronze breach]

I recall I paid like £12 a month for hosting

I just dont want people taking it lol

[obsidian wyvern]

i thought those stuff were like £3 a month

[bronze breach]

I have 3 domains in total, 2 gears, 1 was suppose to be for a fan pokemon like game I abandoned

1st year for of hosting was £1, then until last year it was £8

[obsidian wyvern]

mr lawyer, do u think anything will happen with palworld

[bronze breach]

Since Oct 2023 it risen to £12

[obsidian wyvern]

wait i forgot what your profession was lol. despite hearing all about it

it was a lawyer right

[bronze breach]

Havent read anything or heard about pal world.

But if temtem able to continue on, so palworld can. Nintendo typically goes after things that people would enjoy them their project

For example a game dev I know owned pokemonlegends.com before release of legends arecus

He made a fan pokemon game and nintendo sent him cease and desist

[obsidian wyvern]

doing smthn like that doesnt look like the smartest of moves

[bronze breach]

Likely because of arceus legends.

All he did, was change the name of the fan game and brought it back up and nintendo didnt go after him again but I'm sure its aware

So moral of the story, if nintendo sees any potential that would take fans away from their project because of name or some similarity, they will attack you with a legion lol

*products

[obsidian wyvern]

they got that dude who was making the pokemon mod for palworld lol, that was amusing

[bronze breach]

I think designs can be copyrighted, but you cant stop someone from taking inspirations from it and putting their own spin.

Blatant copying and using yourcreavity is a big difference

Personally, using pokemon stuff shows your promoting the brand and encouraging people to go into the main franchise.

They just fun killers lol as much as they are trying to protect the brand

YESSSSS

That's awesome

I can do my daily rewards and still watch TV 😄

[obsidian wyvern]

now if only my ms rewards app on Xbox wasn't still broken after a year

[candid tusk]

Make a new account and start from scratch. 😄

[obsidian wyvern]

broken for all accounts lol

[candid tusk]

what

That's a load of malarkey.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah something about changing my Xbox location to what it's supposed to be.. which it is. do idk. can't be bothered to contact support again because they werent helpful the first time

[candid tusk]

Do it. "Support" is not a hivemind. You might get someone useful.

[normal owl]

Is there any update on remote play from Series X|S to Xbox One consoles?

[dusty sparrow]

happy chips dubbo day

[silk narwhal]

What is academy on halo infinite

[candid tusk]

Tutorial/Practice stuff.

[fair spade]

Linda is just a different type of spartan Linda got pelted with overcharged plasma boiling through her armor and her flesh to the bone one hit her in the back of the head she legitimately died John took her body and placed her in cryo hoping she could be revived later her cryopod was jettisoned when the pillar of autumn was attacked and after the events of Halo CE she was recovered by John and Doctor Halsey who managed to revive her replacing her damaged organs with flash cloned organs and days later less than a week she John Fred William and Grace commenced Operation First strike where she would shoot 7 elite pilots out of their banshees upside down one handed hanging from a cable and that's why I think Linda is an absolute maniac

[normal owl]

Google "punctuation", it's wild.

[rare cedar]

Sure would be cool to throw in some periods or commas in there

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL

It's a chocolate chip cookie weekend. Going to make the batch today and have cookies as one of each day's meals.

[candid tusk]

no need for all those annoying dots and commas

[candid tusk]

people should just get over it and read its not that hard adding punctuation wont make it any better just saying

Before you ask, yes... I did ask Chat-GPT to give me a snarky punctuationless comment. lol

Since the Halo Channel is discontinued, if I buy and watch Halo: Nightfall on Xbox through the Halo: MCC extras menu, do I get the nightfall helmet in Halo 5?

[steady jolt]

Don't think so

[limber musk]

Ah, that’s a shame. I got the body armor after clicking the link in MCC but I don’t have the helmet, guess I gotta hope to get Bucks helmet.

[digital pumice]

Feels good

[silver fable]

granted it was husky raid which isnt the hardest mode because all the enemies are bunched up in a corridor

but i topscored yay

Botcamp really works

[steady jolt]

After bashing my head on my desk for 3 days trying to build and test an email template finally got it all fixed and tested this afternoon.
Too late for the email to go out, but that's what they get for giving me 3 days to build it

[forest lagoon]

Not even surprised. How dare you not work magically at the snap of a finger!

[obsidian wyvern]

closer and closer

[weary lodge]

[smoky token]

aren’t you not even halfway there

[obsidian wyvern]

nope

[desert drift]

Its mad how you have to be ONYX Corporal (or there abouts) before you're halfway done with the rank grind..

[obsidian wyvern]

bruh

halo 5 did one shot stuff really well so this is hopefully on par

[candid solar]

It helps when one guy's doing the entire sequence, if hearsay is to be believed.

[obsidian wyvern]

one guy did that entire opening right

[livid lion]

Any next patch notes for MCC?

[analog knot]

No. 343 does not provide any roadmap information at all. Not sure there will be anything in 2024.

[marble furnace]

Where can one find this chart?

[livid lion]

Well, there’s still bugs that needed to be fixed such as audios inconsistent.

Something has to be done

[analog knot]

Nobody disagrees. But no official communication, which is what you asked.

[hasty zinc]

They used to do roadmaps

[candid tusk]

And now we're muddin'.

[elfin glacier]

blob

[candid solar]

It's very odd that that stopped.

[subtle crow]

Haaaaay

Does anyone know what the paid item will be for the next event in halo?

[old garnet]

Like do stores sell halo mega construx stuff still cause everywhere I’ve been doesn’t

It’s all Pokémon

[limber musk]

You mean the next halo gear item tied to completion of a pass?

[subtle crow]

Yes. In the Lego aisle. Usually in dg or walmart

[subtle crow]

Yes. The item you get when you buy the pass

Idk if they revealed that in the twitch stream, but I am actually hyped about the halo event

[subtle crow]

Yes. The Lego aisle

[limber musk]

Just to be certain, you’re talking about things like the backpack you can buy when you complete the season 5 pass and not whatever the level 1 item is, correct?

[subtle crow]

When you buy the event, there is a skin/item you get for buying the pass. Like the shotgun for the infected event

[candid tusk]

Not odd in the slightest. Can probably count the number of big games that hold fast to their roadmaps and release said roadmaps frequently on one hand. When I think of roadmaps, my first thought is "yeah, keep dreaming."

[subtle crow]

That is what I am talking about. I am asking if anyone knows what it will be

[candid tusk]

Classic AR skin.

[livid lion]

So why did they stop doing updates for MCC?

[silk narwhal]

How long are all the halo games

[steady jolt]

As far as I'm aware, Dig Site stuff for MCC is still being worked on

[silk narwhal]

Starting with reach and ce

[limber musk]

Is it the classic ce or is it a combination of 2 designs?

[subtle crow]

Ah. I'm going to get that pass at some point. I will get a $10 gift card for free, then get it

@limber musk yes

[candid tusk]

#announcements message

Exactly as depicted here.

[subtle crow]

Long enough to play for months on end. They are long

[livid lion]

Or can it still be updated?

[candid tusk]

https://howlongtobeat.com/

[silk narwhal]

The campaign is months long?

[candid tusk]

Absolutely not.

[subtle crow]

From 1-infinite it is. But halo 4 is the longest

[queen remnant]

#general-chat message just go a little up lol

[candid tusk]

You walking a step a day?

[queen remnant]

But as for general stuff, idk

[silk narwhal]

I’ve started playing ce and reach

[subtle crow]

And eating an apple a day

[subtle crow]

Reach is the second best

[silk narwhal]

But I have no idea how long they are when talking about the campaign

[subtle crow]

What difficulty you playing on?

[silk narwhal]

Easy I didn’t mess with the difficulty

[candid tusk]

Roughly 8 hours per game, they're not RPG grinds.

[subtle crow]

Yeah, you can get then done in a week

[silk narwhal]

Does master chief talk much in ce

[limber musk]

It looks like it has the muzzle of the MA5B but it has the MA5D grip.

[candid tusk]

Eh, Spirit of Fire stuff, could be they cobbled things together with what they had on hand.

Still looks cool.

[limber musk]

It does look cool.

[candid solar]

I mean, it's not that weird to slap a different muzzle brake on a gun.

[silk narwhal]

I put Duracell batteries which in the uk as far as I know the best batteries you can get. In my Xbox controller the day I got it which was if I’m not mistaken Tuesday or Wednesday. And I haven’t had to change the batteries yet

[candid tusk]

Plug your controller into the xbox and you won't have to change the batteries ever.

[limber musk]

It’s not just the muzzle, it’s the front of the body as well. The grips too flat to be MA5B though.

[silk narwhal]

I prefer wireless

[candid solar]

... Yeah, I know, I'm just saying, it has the MA5D's muzzle brake.

[silk narwhal]

With my ps5 controllers I have a charging dock which there basically on whenever I’m not using my ps5

[willow hedge]

For what Rev?

[obsidian wyvern]

ranked

hit 1000 hours lol

[full kite]

I might be at 100 hours, but reach and 5 I got a thousand easy each

[subtle crow]

Congrats. I have about that in fortnite. It is nice to know I'm not the only guy out there with no life.

[tardy thistle]

I only got like 500 hrs

[subtle crow]

I probably have about 50 hours in the game itself

[tardy thistle]

I got 46d on fort lol

Well that’s just on Xbox idk about my ps5

[full kite]

I played Fortnite so much in the early seasons

[subtle crow]

I think mine is around there. I honestly don't know. It has been a month and a half since I last checked

[full kite]

When the planes came out I skedaddled

[tardy thistle]

I started chapter 3

[subtle crow]

Bro, you have missed so much

[full kite]

I started season 1

[tardy thistle]

Least I got master chief and his black armor

[subtle crow]

I started in chapter 2 season 4

[full kite]

Stopped season 6 I think, chapter 1

I have black knight and the old John wick skins

[subtle crow]

I got the black master chief too, but I got a friend who got save the world when it came out and he gets free money daily

[tardy thistle]

I wish I started sooner because I wanted Travis Scott’s skin

[subtle crow]

I got Mando and a lot of star wars, but not many pop skins

[tardy thistle]

Black Chief with the Cactus Jack back bling would be a good combo

[subtle crow]

Eh. I like regular chief. But when did the cactus jack back bling come out

[tardy thistle]

It’s part of the Travis bundle only got released once

Glows red looks so good

[subtle crow]

Because I've played for several years and never saw it except on some people

[obsidian wyvern]

chapter 1 season 1 here 😤

[subtle crow]

I bet. I saw a guy with the og knight skin with the blue tag 9n his arm

[full kite]

Me too rev

[tardy thistle]

Everyone I talk to started before me lol

[subtle crow]

I started in C2 S4, but quit in C2 S6 until C3 S1

[full kite]

That game has had an insane lifespan

[obsidian wyvern]

everything after chapter 2 has been a blur

[full kite]

Been so popular for so long

[subtle crow]

Ik. I wish they would add the arbiter

It hit 1B players in the og season a few months ago

[tardy thistle]

And sgt Johnson

[obsidian wyvern]

what

[full kite]

That was a cheat code

[subtle crow]

Lol

[full kite]

I tried the Lego Fortnite, that was ok

[subtle crow]

But C2 had Deadpool, a marvel season, the zero point in the map and the wilds

Lego is OK, but I prefer guitar hero mode or racing. I am amazing in both on the pc

[full kite]

Love guitar hero

I’m god awful at it, anything above medium I can’t do it

[tardy thistle]

They need to drop some irl controllers for the festival mode

[subtle crow]

Me too. I changed my Xbox buttons to match it in fortnite. I do hard, but on PC, I do expert

[full kite]

I hate the racing, all it did was take away trading and support for rocket league

[tardy thistle]

I only played Aerosmith and I was good at it

[subtle crow]

I played rock the 80s, guitar hero 3, Aerosmith, and band hero

[full kite]

I have three of the quitar heros and band hero

[subtle crow]

Same

[full kite]

I wish I was able to get the Interpol songs before they took them down

I would play an interpol only guitar hero so much

[tardy thistle]

I still got my 360 I need to hop back on Aerosmith ngl

Only controller I got for it though is that Halo 3 one with the Spartans on it

[candid tusk]

It is done. Reactions have been chosen for the latest announcement. I have done my part today.

[torn magnet]

Noble 6 shouldn't have survived the fall when jorge threw him off, assuming this is about the height of high earth orbit but for reach or about 36000 kms up, and he's going terminal velocity which for a human is about 60 m/s and him being about 108 kgs using the formula for kinetic energy (delta)KE=0.5●M●V(squared)
Aka 0.5●108●60(squared)
Which is about 194400J of kinetic energy no way he should have survived that fall

Correct me if I'm wrong on anything here

[tardy thistle]

Pretty sure some Spartan II’s had to make a jump like that in First Strike. Some died and some didn’t

[torn magnet]

6 was a spartan 3 he didn't have the augments the 2s did

[magic charm]

Best weapon that's not the BR? Either the S7 Sniper or the Mangler for me

[tardy thistle]

The armor was still Mjolnir

[magic charm]

Not even Mjolnir could save him from that height and velocity

[torn magnet]

His Shields would have gave in during rentry even if he had a rentry pack. The 3s Armour Wasent to my knowledge as powerfull as the 2s so they compensated when making it so the 3s could wear it

[torn magnet]

Exactly

[tardy thistle]

That’s what the Hydrostatic Gel layer is for

It adjust to where the Spartan will fall on so depending on the surface where they land is a huge key factor on how they will survive a long fall

[magic charm]

Still tho; the amount of gravitaional force slamming through him would definitley kill him. No way he should have survived

[torn magnet]

His potential energy was even higher 630000j of PE

[tardy thistle]

So Chief should’ve died in the beginning of halo 3? Because one of the marines said the gel layer could’ve taken most of the impact

[torn magnet]

The 2s Armour was way better than the 3s

[tardy thistle]

Six and Chief both were both wearing Mjolnir

[magic charm]

Exactly. It makes sense that Chief survived. His armor was better than 6's

[tardy thistle]

There’s no major difference in the lore explaining how the gel layer works

And as I said some of the II’s died in First Strike they were wearing Mjolnir also

[torn magnet]

Spartan 3s can't wear the same mjolnir as the 2s the 2s had special augments and there Armour was designed to use them to the best of there ability the 3s didn't if they tried to wear the 2s Armour they would Have been ripped apart, the 2s Armour calculated the brains input before it happened so they could be extra ready the augments given to them enhanced this, if the 3s tried to wear the 2s armor and made a mistep while pulling out there gun since the electric input is carried out before the brain can process it by the Armour if the 3s tried to force there movement the Armour would rip them apart so they made the 3s Armour in a way that didn't happen making it way way weaker

[tardy thistle]

And Shields aren’t really going to matter in these kinds of falls just to get that out of the way

[tardy thistle]

You’re referring to SPI armor there’s no chance he’d survive wearing that armor at all

[torn magnet]

Yeah he wore armor designed for the 3s he was a 3 the 2s stuck to that armor

[tardy thistle]

Grey team wore the same armor issued to noble team

So that’s armor technically made for Spartan II’s given to some spartan III’s

[torn magnet]

6 should have not survived given the gravitational force being exterted on him during the fall and the kinetic energy he should have experienced the landing alone should have pulverized him

[tardy thistle]

Well he did due to his suit’s hydrostatic gel layer forming up to the point of impact

[torn magnet]

Just saying the gravitational force during the fall should have flattened him inside his armor 36000 kms up falling at terminal velocity

[tardy thistle]

You’d save a lot of time if you just looked this up you know

[tardy thistle]

That wouldn’t make sense and you’re doubting the capabilities of Mjolnir armor

[torn magnet]

I did the calculation to see how hard the fall was

I forgot about the hydrostatic gell

[candid tusk]

Noble 6 used a reentry pack. https://halo.fandom.com/wiki/M-Spec_Reentry_Pack

[torn magnet]

I know that

[tardy thistle]

You looked up the fall not that component of the armor that helps Spartans survive long falls

[fickle drift]

Why are you debating such silly things when you could be looking at photos of Halo 4 Cortana

[torn magnet]

It's fun

[tardy thistle]

Every suit of Mjolnir has that layer and the lore doesn’t really say if it’s weaker in his version of the armor or not so it’s right to assume it’d handle the fall just as any other 1st gen suit

[torn magnet]

Fair enough u win

[tardy thistle]

Thanks. My break is less boring

[torn magnet]

It's fun to know how much force he experienced though

194400j of kinetic energy on impact

With 630000j of potential energy

[torn magnet]

My free class period was less boring

[tardy thistle]

That’s good

[torn magnet]

👍

[hasty zinc]

C'mon Teams. Get it together

[tight remnant]

You do know eveyrthing you wrote here is wrong right?

You try to apply physics calculations too like a calculator without considering the problem at hand

[torn magnet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tardy thistle]

This is why I figured he was referring to SPI instead

[tight remnant]

The re-entry pack is what allows one to land back on the surface and survive. It's not some increase shield thing

[tardy thistle]

Yeah no idea how shields would help

[tight remnant]

Shaped shields would help but that technology isn't widely available and not available to the UNSC during Mark V[B] days

[tardy thistle]

Wasn’t that given to chief during his test with Akerson’s attempt to kill him?

Could be remembering wrong

[tight remnant]

No

[torn magnet]

Look I dont know THAT much about the armor I just wanted to know how much force he experienced and I concluded that there's no way he would have survived I didn't know all the other stuff that came with the armor, I just thought "big strong armor protect spartan well"

[tight remnant]

He didn't experience that force however

[tardy thistle]

I’ll look up shaped shields rq. What was Cortana doing with chief’s shields when he was walking through the mine field because I remember she did something to better shield his lower body

[tight remnant]

Shield strength can be increased and decreased at certain locations of the armour

It helps be more or less slippery versus more or less protection

[tardy thistle]

I see

[tight remnant]

Also spartan-IIIs can wear any MJOLNIR. Their augmentations aren't like spartan lite. They are full blown spartans.

[tardy thistle]

Yeah idk where the notion came from that they can’t wear Mjolnir

[torn magnet]

Ahh mb I was just using info I remembered about the spartan augments

[tight remnant]

Some MJOLNIR platforms, particularly some in gen 2, specialized in being able to let a spartan survive orbital falls and entries.

We see the thrusters in effect too to help with drops

[tardy thistle]

Yeah like with that one mission where you jump from a guardian in h5

[tight remnant]

That's the seemingly biggest downgrade to gen 3

[tardy thistle]

Honestly yeah we literally had borderline iron man armor with gen II

Gonna head back to work for 30 min and hop on infinite when I get home. Keep it good ✌🏼

[tight remnant]

im just thinking about one of the missed opportunities in halo 5's campaign

[celest remnant]

I just had a crazy idea for next campaign

[tight remnant]

If the arbiter and vale had interacted, and if thel had mellowed thanks to seeing vale and talking to her and him showing some concern and back and forth. For lore fans it's a great nod. For fans who don't know, it's a way of seeing how close the UNSC and swords of sanghelios are and helps build that, there is more, and that depth

[celest remnant]

What if spirit of fire land on zeta halo, instead of the giant open world though this time they go back to mission areas like previous games.

[tight remnant]

The spirit of fire doesnt have a slispace drive, nor to they have large ammounts of troops, they ar ebattered and in need of reinforcements

[celest remnant]

So they’re nowhere near the ring?

I was thinking about it, and everyone wonders how they can make halo exciting for a different campaign, what if instead of playing as chief, what if we play as Jerome FPS

[hasty zinc]

Give me a Halo space battle game

[celest remnant]

If spirit of fire doesn’t have alot of troops what if the story is Jerome’s squadron fighting through countless troops on the ground, utilizing classic halo vehicles and maybe halo wars vehicles used first time in FPS, not sure if chief has a slipspace drive on the pelican but imagine they rendezvous with Jerome and his team

[candid solar]

Six had a reentry kit and was still injured from the fall. You see it in the cutscenes.

[smoky token]

how does the reentry unit work?

i cant imagine it possibly produces enough thrust to counteract gravity for that long

[candid tusk]

Space magic.

[candid solar]

You are... Very wrong. IIIs have always been able to wear MJOLNIR and are effectively on par with IIs out of armor.

And even IVs, despite being behind IIs and IIIs out of armor, can also wear MJOLNIR Mark IV and whatnot without significant modification.

[torn magnet]

@candid solar I addressed that

[candid solar]

And I'm catching up.

[torn magnet]

Who knows

[candid solar]

According to concept art, it looks like thrusters. Of course, concept art also says UNSCAF pilots can wear it and use it without dying.

[smoky token]

yeah theres no way in hell

lol

I'm just gonna go with the idea that 6 got REALLY lucky with maxing out his hydrostatic gel layer

[torn magnet]

I like this conclusion

[candid solar]

I mean, if it works in canon, it works in canon. Doesn't really matter if it breaks SOD.

[torn magnet]

How long does it last though?

[candid solar]

There are literally zero actual design notes that give us an idea of how long it's supposed to work.

[torn magnet]

Cause there's no way in hell it lasted the whole trip

[torn magnet]

Guess we will never know

[smoky token]

thats what I'm saying

[candid solar]

I guess it really only matters if it has a parachute and enough thrusters to slow you down.

[smoky token]

i feel like if he had a parachute then he wouldnt be limping in the next cutscene

[torn magnet]

No way those thrusters would be able to stop the amount of potential energy that man had during rentry

[smoky token]

hm... yknow if the thing used the MJOLNIR's fusion(?) reactor pack, then I suppose it might be able to produce sustained thrust

I wouldnt bet on it though

[candid solar]

Why? You can get hurt with a parachute.

[torn magnet]

He would be dead
Cause deploying a parachute at that height with that MUCH PE would snap him in half

[smoky token]

He's a spartan in half a ton of armour who I'm sure has training with handling a parachute

actually the half ton of armor thing might have caused an issue or two...

[candid solar]

Which is why thrusters are likely more for slowing you down instead of doing literally all the work.

[smoky token]

^

also why they use um... I cant use that word here

[candid solar]

Why do people insist on the dumbest possible interpretation?

[smoky token]

the metal drag chute

on SOEIVs

[candid solar]

Thrusters-to-chute to kill the energy, not all chute or all thrusters.

Considering we don't even know how it works, you have to go with what we know Spartans use, which has been both.

[torn magnet]

630000j of pe no way those thrusters lasted long enough to get rid of all of it im just going with aspens conclusion that he got really lucky with the gel layer

[candid solar]

They don't need to get rid of all of your bad math.

Just enough to make the chute work.

[smoky token]

yeah, sorry dude but your math is kinda shot lol

[torn magnet]

😦 I asked yall to correct me if needed

[smoky token]

I have gotten over 50 steam community awards on my profile over the past week

I swear every time this dude buys a game he gives me more clown awards

I just got 8 more

[torn magnet]

Yikes

Anyway I gtg see yall later

[candid solar]

... I just realized he was listing the amount of force Castle Bravo had.

[smoky token]

Retrothrusters on full blast using the fusion pack on Mjolnir + huge-ass drag chute + maxing out the gel layer (or if not maxing, at least setting it very high) could probably do it realistically

[smoky token]

on god?

[candid solar]

Nearly, if I'm reading this right, which I might not be.

[smoky token]

what are you reading

[candid solar]

I was looking up the number cited for joules.

One of the first responses was someone saying how much force Castle Bravo generated.

And it was in reference to achieving escape velocity.

[smoky token]

real quick trench do you remember reach's relative (or exact) gravity?

[torn magnet]

1.08 gs

[smoky token]

im doing quick maths on my own

[smoky token]

thx

I do believe my firefox just crashed

[torn magnet]

My brain does that sometimes

[candid solar]

Headfirst impact for Chief on Earth unassisted would be around 32140.6 newtons or 3.3 metric tons

[torn magnet]

Dayum

[candid solar]

With a terminal velocity of around 70~ m/s.

Eh, that's solveable, tbh. We airdrop heavier things with chutes.

[smoky token]

Assuming an altitude of about 300 miles above Reach's surface and Noble 6's weight being around 1200 pounds, thats 2783309856 joules of KPE or 2,783 megajoules of KPE

[torn magnet]

The wiki said he was 108 kgs

[smoky token]

thats most likely out of armor

[torn magnet]

Dam u right

[torn magnet]

So like alot more than I got

[smoky token]

how did you even arrive at that number?

[candid solar]

Either way, I feel like it's actually pretty realistically solveable, considering the UNSC's penchant for rocketry fuel being as far as it is.

If the reentry pack is meant for a man sized operator, it actually checks out even more favorably.

[smoky token]

the fact that they were able to get the PoA off the ground from a cold stop and moving so fast in the same game really speaks to that yeah

[candid solar]

Hell, reentry packs are likely pretty common and likely meant for a closer distance, too.

[smoky token]

those things gotta be crazy expensive though

you need an energy source that can consistently output a LOT of energy

(it still says im typing in the sidebar even when I'm not )

[candid solar]

Well, it's problably a lot easier to stop a 200 pound man in a vacuum suit than a 1200 pound supersoldier.

Which means it may loop back into Six needing the gel layer to survive, because he's trying to use a reentry pack for someone less than half his weight.

[smoky token]

even so, you need a lot of energy output to counteract gravity. A 200lb man in the same gravity would need 463884976 joules of opposite ended energy to counteract gravity all the way down

[candid solar]

It's reminding me of this one movie I watched where a space elevator fails and a guy has to use a reentry pack style thing to survive

[jagged drum]

Are you guys talkin about that backpack 6 had when he was going to that corvette level? what was that thing for?

[smoky token]

ooh, which movie?

[candid solar]

I wish i remembered.

[smoky token]

a shame

[candid solar]

I've been trying to find it for the past 10 minutes.

[smoky token]

Well it would help with explaining why none of his bones were broken

or why his internal organs were seemingly mostly undamaged and/or pierced by ribs

a la Kelly

[candid solar]

I always found the bone thing with Spartans a bit funny.

Doesn't really help a lot when you get shot. Seems more like it just adds weight and stopping power to a fistfight.

You'd think the UNSC would've decided to opt into subdermal armor plating.

[torn magnet]

falls with the force of 600mm artillery
Spartans: "IM OK. MY BONES ARENT BROKEN"

[candid solar]

Eh, Fred literally walks off a banshee FRG-inflicted concussion.

They are built, and I cannot stress this enough, different.

Hell, you wanna talk crazy survival, Spartan Kovan literally plows a SOIEV into a Phantom. Not only does she survive this, the elites in the Phantom also survive, and she proceeds to kill them all when the Phantom crash lands because it just had a damn SOIEV land in it.

This is in the same book as a Spartan surviving getting rammed against a wall by a ghost at full speed.

And then proceeding to literally gut a brute with her bare hands in close quarters.

[smoky token]

I mean, we see ODSTs survive crash landings with vehicles in things like the I Know You trailer for HW2

[smoky token]

that’s badass though

[candid solar]

Did the ODST in question actually survive that? I always figured that it would've been a horribly abused dummy pod, because I know they do that sometimes.

I mean, technically, it's also just a trailer, though, so grain of salt.

It's more of "Did that ODST ever actually exist?"

[smoky token]

they dropped actual ODSTs within the same second so I would assume so?

good question though

i feel like an Archer would have done better in that scenario

[fickle drift]

I need to do a Halo game night

[tardy thistle]

I’m sad I missed this part of the convo

Glad I wasn’t the only one saying the gel layer was a factor of his survival

[obsidian wyvern]

there was no clip submission this time round was there

[tight remnant]

Narratively it's basically chevhok's gun..

Otherwise they wouldnt have included the re-entry pack

[pliant hatch]

don't think so

[pliant hatch]

never liked the whole gel layer thing which let's someone take enormous forces even with ironman.

[tardy thistle]

Heavy impact is just one purpose of that layer

[pliant hatch]

just seems like a convenient way to dismiss what would normally be something unsurvivable.

[tardy thistle]

Never guaranteed to survive also

[tardy thistle]

It’s not. It did not save a few Spartans in first strike and left Fred injured

So that plus re-entry unit would make sense on how 6 made the fall

[tight remnant]

This reminds me how narratively nanobots to make modifications to the armour were talked about in glasslands. They were put in there narratively in connection with John and his armour change with nanobots. And like, people don't pick up on that. -_-

[pliant hatch]

I guess it's mainly that gel seems unrealistic, but different tech and universes come into play.

[tight remnant]

It's not watsonian. It's doylist.

[tardy thistle]

Halo 5 probably did good on showing the thrusters breaking a fall. It’d be hard to portray a internal feature of the armor in game without making it some sort of boring dialogue

I’d imagine that’s why the marine in halo 3 doing a diagnostic on the Chief’s locked armor kept it brief

[candid solar]

I think Six actually fell from higher up than Chief did, as well.

Because Chief visibly jumped out in atmosphere if the cutscene was to be believed.

[tardy thistle]

Yeah the carrier was like way up there above Reach

[candid solar]

... Which... How the hell did Chief somehow drift away nearly 100 miles?

His trajectory makes no sense.

[tardy thistle]

Seemed like George also unintentionally put some force into his throw

Jorge*

Also does Snow make falls less worse? Seemed like he landed on snow but I don’t know if it’d help

[hazy spindle]

I'll be hosting a 12v12 BTB Tournament tmrw if any teams or Lone Wolves want in on the action. Message me
https://twitter.com/YNOT_B_RECKLESS/status/1748149767304085697?t=nl_dqWgk6_6m2Lnsf_jsLQ&s=19

[pliant hatch]

he surfed the air on that piece of metal, lol.

[tardy thistle]

Fortnite glider’d in

[livid oyster]

From that height and his weight that snow had about as much resistance as paper

[tardy thistle]

You’re probably right. That’s if the snow wasn’t solid from being possibly untouched in a seemingly no man’s land

Then it’d be just ice

Gonna hop on infinite. Lmk if anyone attempts this irl and bust this myth

[wintry ferry]

Hey, can u send me ur pfp? i like it

[round laurel]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DCYiP7kUMAAJpr7?format=jpg&name=large (It's the image URL from Twittter)

It was a popular image back in the Halo 3 days.

[wintry ferry]

Thx, i'm playing h3 rn

I didn't played h3 in months 😩

[pliant hatch]

I just randomly found it. don't have the pic anymore.

[wintry ferry]

No problem, i found it, thx anyways

[livid lion]

I think I have figured what the problem is of the voicelines acting inconsistently in a Halo MCC campaign.

Some reason, I have Halo: MCC stored in my 8TB Seagate storage device, and it was going on and off, so I have to unplug and plug it back in to fix it.

And I have set “turn off storage device when turning off console” enabled because last time my Xbox wasn’t detecting the storage drive right, so I enabled that then restart the console to fix it.

[winter flame]

im more curious how many Xbox One and 360 games do you own to need 8TB of storage

[amber mirage]

I own enough where 8TB isn't enough

[fickle drift]

Something odd is happening which is causing me to see through walls, my pistol disappears, and grunts becomes invisible on my CE LASO run

FIRST CE LASO MISSION COMPLETE

[jaunty yoke]

See, this is why we can't have nice things

It can't just be a week where Palworld is a massive success and nothing else
No no
It has to be the same week where Xbox announces Activision layoffs and their departure from physical games

[normal owl]

Let's freaking go!

[rare cedar]

[hasty zinc]

[full kite]

I just googled about the physical games thing, how depressing

I buy physical as often as I can

[jaunty yoke]

I don't mind it personally because I'm mostly a digital guy, but I know this will cause nothing but disappointment across a big part of the community

[full kite]

It’s dumb, but I like having to put a disc into my console, and having the cd case. It’s comforting to me

And if somehow my account were to get banned, I’d still have the game :3

[jaunty yoke]

They might as well stop producing Xbox consoles if they're gonna take away every reason to have one

[hasty zinc]

I mean one of the major reasons to have one still exists

[full kite]

From the article I read, the next console is going to have xbox series x specs but be digital only

[jaunty yoke]

The major reason why you would have a console above everything else is exclusives

And they launch everything on PC now

[hasty zinc]

one of the major reasons to own a console is cheaper plug and play gaming

without the hassle of pc maintenance

[full kite]

I think how casual console is

[hasty zinc]

buy box, plug in box, play games

[full kite]

I like feeling like a kid or kid-adjacent when I play

[jaunty yoke]

The majority of gamers are on PC, something tells me they are willing to make the extra investment

The ease and price of a console is good, but they're still focusing on the wrong thing, they're focusing on power

[full kite]

What should they focus on?

[jaunty yoke]

Nintendo focused on power with the Gamecube and it failed, then they focused on games with the Wii and it was a massive success

[full kite]

I feel like games and power go hand in hand

[jaunty yoke]

The Nintendo Switch is a borderline worthless platform for gaming
But you know why it sells millions regardless?
Because it has a lot of exclusives

[full kite]

It’s the most convenient too

That’s why I got it

[jaunty yoke]

That is what gamers care about, they care about games

[full kite]

Nintendo is by far the most casual, I would say that’s its biggest draw

[hasty zinc]

sure gamers care about games, but that's such a broad statement it excluded everything else that goes along with games that gamers care about

[jaunty yoke]

We even saw it 2 generations ago

The PS3 was stronger than the Xbox 360, but why did the 360 dominate for several years?
Because it had a lot of games

[full kite]

Did you ever watch the Buzz movie or show

[hasty zinc]

indeed

[full kite]

Was it good? I only heard bad things but the trailer looked alright

[jaunty yoke]

It's alright

[full kite]

I’ve never used a PlayStation before

[jaunty yoke]

Put Interestellar and Star Wars in a blender and you get Lightyear

[full kite]

If that’s the case, then that’s a pretty glowing comparison

[steady jolt]

PS3 also used tech that was too bleeding edge at the time and was hard to develop for
Shame, cell processor was a fantastic idea

[jaunty yoke]

In time it showed, the PS3 exclusives were very impressive in the visual department

I can't comment much on the gameplay of any, but I always say gameplay is the most important part of a game

I celebrate Palworld for being a fun game without needing state of the art graphics or modern gimmicks, all it needed was to be fun

[silk narwhal]

What’s everyone’s favourite version of the halo theme

I’m asking this because in some games they sound a bit different

[elfin glacier]

weren't both the xbox 360 and ps3 powered by some sort of powerpc isa chip?

[candid solar]

Light is Green, which isn't technically 'the Halo theme', but it's one of the first songs you hear in 5, so.

[elfin glacier]

halo 4 menu theme

[candid solar]

If we were going by more strict rules I'd say The Trials.

[silk narwhal]

Why is cortana purple in ce

And in the rest of the games blue

[candid tusk]

Art

[silk narwhal]

Na but is there a lore reason though

[candid tusk]

AI can be whatever they want to be. She was probably feeling purple at the time.

[silk narwhal]

How tf can you feel purple

You technically can’t feel colour. Just the surface a colour is on

[faint mantle]

You've never heard the phrase "I'm feeling blue today"?

[silk narwhal]

Not in a long time

[faint mantle]

[candid tusk]

Marty Wolf was feeling blue.

[faint mantle]

This is the definite answer, really.

An AI can look however it wants, another example is Cortana's changing hairstyles

It's just art design

[silk narwhal]

Why does chief only talk in cutscenes

[candid tusk]

Black-Box is my favorite AI design.

[full kite]

Argent moon and Rock and Ice were pretty good from Halo 5

And halo canticles

[faint mantle]

During the Bungie era, Chief was more meant to be a vessel for the player, having little dialogue. Halo 4 and above gave the Chief more personality by having him speak in more than just cutscenes.

[silk narwhal]

I guess that’s kinda for me atleast one good thing 343 changed I personally like more dialogue in my games

[amber mirage]

Part of this was also just general game design at the time. It was uncommon for FPS protagonists to talk during gameplay.

I'm glad that's no longer the case

[full kite]

Me too

[candid tusk]

I mute all audio when I play. Too much gabber.

[full kite]

Huh

[faint mantle]

So that's why you're so easy to backsmack...

[candid tusk]

lmao you nailed it.

[full kite]

So do you listen to music while you play or something

[candid tusk]

I listen to my heart pump blood through my ears.

God that'd be so edgy. lol

[full kite]

I don’t have a response to that 🫤

[amber mirage]

I think you should get that checked out by a medical professional

[tardy thistle]

He’s my top 3 favorite characters in all of halo

[jaunty yoke]

Halo fans hate that Halo 4 gave Master Chief dialogue during gameplay while Dead Space fans celebrate that Isaac speaks since the second game and they even gave him dialogue in the remake

[silk narwhal]

Is it fair to say that I don’t have a favourite console anymore since I have both Xbox one and ps5. Yes the one I’m using mostly now is my Xbox but that mainly because I get to play halo and its newest console I have. Not by generation by most recently acquired

[candid solar]

For a franchise that started out as 'combat evolved', Halo fans are remarkably against anything of note evolving.

[silk narwhal]

In history there’s always a group of people who hate change

[jaunty yoke]

True

[silk narwhal]

I bet a group of people hated it when the covenant changed to the banished

[jaunty yoke]

I mean there was a group of fans who hated to play as the Arbiter

[silk narwhal]

I mostly like dialogue though because it’s ads to the lore

[silk narwhal]

As I said before. Throughout human history there have been and always will be a group of people who don’t like change

[jaunty yoke]

How about we complain about the actual issues
Like how Brutes in the Bungie era were only good in Halo 2 and ruined in every subsequent game until Infinite brought them back to form

[fickle drift]

@bleak yoke halo needs to add 3rd person

[jaunty yoke]

No

[silk narwhal]

No nononono

[jaunty yoke]

Leave the 3rd person to Gears of War

[silk narwhal]

Exactly

[steady jolt]

Modmail can't help with this

[silk narwhal]

Hell I’m thinking of playing gears of war again also

[jaunty yoke]

ODST was gonna have a 3rd person skull, it would have been interesting, but only as that, as an option

[silk narwhal]

Did anyone hate that 343 removed the flood

[candid solar]

Ugh.

[jaunty yoke]

Like you wouldn't know

[wild sleet]

The FPS drops on the Valhalla map in Infinite kinda insane

[jaunty yoke]

What's funny to me is how people will complain about the Prometheans pointing out the exact same problems that the Flood had
"Annoying to fight"
"Bs instakill"
"Too many of them"

[silk narwhal]

Which map is that

[jaunty yoke]

Vallaheim, remake of Valhalla in Halo Infinite

[candid solar]

I was confused by the middle one until I remembered that rocket flood were a thing.

I don't actually die to those very often, so I forget that they are an issue.

[silk narwhal]

Isn’t the promethins the same species that created the halo rings i forget wtf there called. If not the same but same tech era

[jaunty yoke]

More or less

[silk narwhal]

Ah yes forerunners

[jaunty yoke]

The Prometheans are robots created by the Forerunners
And some Forerunners were turned into Prometheans

[candid solar]

Prometheans are the digitized constructs that make up an anti-flood Army the last surviving Forerunner, The Didact, made. They share a name with his prior warriors as well.

digitized, once-organic minds. Though this is only the Promethean Knights-the rest, from the Watchers to the Crawlers to the Armigers, are just normal constructs.

[jaunty yoke]

Don't really know why the Librarian refers to the Prometheans as abominations
They didn't turn out so bad

[silk narwhal]

Atleast there isn’t a promethian that explodes into tiny promethian insta kill like the flood

[candid solar]

Because they are stolen minds driven mad by the destruction wrought upon them. They are twisted and torn asunder into their new forms.

[jaunty yoke]

At its most basic definition they are robots

[candid solar]

In other words, they are powered by the broken and shackled souls of the dead.

[silk narwhal]

Also why the hell in halo 2 is the energy sword not insta kill

[jaunty yoke]

I guess you're talking about the campaign

[full kite]

I didn’t even know that halo 2 had a usable energy sword

[silk narwhal]

There is

[full kite]

Except for the Rex one

[silk narwhal]

You just need to pick them up from dead ai.

[jaunty yoke]

Yeah, CE is the only game where you can't use them
(ODST too, but that one is on purpose)

[silk narwhal]

Tbh I don’t know if it is good or bad that bungie doesn’t have halo anymore. Just going off of the state of destiny 2

[jaunty yoke]

It's clear that it is good

[full kite]

I’m so looter-shooter averse I could care less about destiny

[silk narwhal]

But is the state of destiny 2 caused by losing halo

[jaunty yoke]

The developers are not particularly good or bad in any scenario, they are only tasked with doing the game, so if they're talented they can do it
The main problem is the publisher

[full kite]

I don’t understand how they’re reliant on each other

[full kite]

Referring to this

[jaunty yoke]

If the publisher tells you "I want the game to have this and this and this, and I want you to monetize this part, oh and you have to complete this game in one year" then as a developer the best you can do is just follow the instructions

[silk narwhal]

I mean did losing halo make bungie plumite into not being a good dev

[jaunty yoke]

No

Bungie didn't want anything to do with Halo after Halo 3, so losing it was a relief to them if anything

The thing is that they had a lot of passion and ideas for Destiny, but they went with the wrong people (Activision), who tasked them with an MMO filled with paywalls

[silk narwhal]

You know at least halo has a better server than cod

In cod it either lags or doesn’t lag

In halo as long as you have good internet you should be good

[jaunty yoke]

And after being free from Activision, Bungie just kinda took all the lessons from there and decided to keep the franchise like that
And now it is what it is

[silk narwhal]

Question is this server official halo

Like official official

[jaunty yoke]

Yes

There are 343 people here and all

[forest lagoon]

As official as official can get

But they did let me in here so... 🤔

[jaunty yoke]

Well there were rumors about Bethesda working on a Mandalorian game

But unfortunately it seems like the rumors were fake

[silk narwhal]

Who would win in a fight

A mandolorian or a spartain

[jaunty yoke]

A Spartan

[forest lagoon]

I swear we've had this conversation multiple times in here

[jaunty yoke]

To get it clear, almost everything in the Halo universe would win against its Star Wars counterpart
The only Star Wars part that would come out on top are force users

[forest lagoon]

Spartan would win unless the Mandalorian gets clever somehow

[silk narwhal]

Is the other spartain from halo 5 the most hated
