general-chat

[forest lagoon]

But this is the definitive answer
https://youtu.be/L4_zFYnnn2Y?si=1u9tWZii2dxXRPsT

[silk narwhal]

I forgot his name

[jaunty yoke]

An average Spartan is like Captain America in titanium armor, you tell me

[forest lagoon]

Exactly

[silk narwhal]

Master chief is like a god

[jaunty yoke]

Not quite

[silk narwhal]

A Deamon?

I spelled that wrong

[jaunty yoke]

Videogame characters are usually more powerful than movie characters because games tend to exaggerate more with everything
But trust me there are games who take the exaggeration way further than Halo

The Chief has a chance against a Mandalorian, but he is hopeless against Doomslayer

[forest lagoon]

Mandalorians are basically regular humans that have lots of battle training, special armor, and some cool gadgets

[silk narwhal]

But it would be appropriate for master cheif would be like a demon

[forest lagoon]

Now which version of Spartan is in the battle, because there are some weaker ones. Not all have the great enhancements of Master Chief

[forest lagoon]

If you're part of the covenant, sure

[silk narwhal]

I also don’t think spartain armour is made from titanium but a much stronger material

[candid solar]

I always disliked the whole "Chief is special because genetic predestination is real" thing.

[candid solar]

It's an alloy, which means it's more complex than just simple Titanium.

[silk narwhal]

Which Spartain. Why not throw master chief againsta mandolrian wielding a darksaber

[forest lagoon]

Chief is basically a generalist who is lucky

[jaunty yoke]

On part, the Covenant refers to Spartans as demons because in canon lore a Spartan is so fast that their movement to the naked eye looks like a series of distorted actions, almost giving them a spectral look

[silk narwhal]

Master chief is referred to as the demon

[forest lagoon]

See, now you are opening up the can of worms of "how do lightsabers work and what universe rules will we apply, how does the Spartan shield protect against it" ect ect ect

[candid solar]

It's pointless.

[forest lagoon]

Exactly

[jaunty yoke]

Lightsabers are pretty much the same as energy swords, just in stick shape

[forest lagoon]

Not quite

[silk narwhal]

All master chiefs would need is a plasma grenade and a good throw

He would also have the elite cloaking ability

[forest lagoon]

And now you open up the can of worms where "how would the plasma grenade function compared to Star wars grenades which beskar can protect against"

[misty kite]

Hello

[forest lagoon]

Do you see the very slippery slope in this argument

[silk narwhal]

Plasma grenade sticks on helmet grenade go boom

Beskar is not invincible

[jaunty yoke]

Covenant weapons in canon lore are extremely deadly, like, incredibly dangerous
Blasters are also quite the weapon too

Many Spartan 2s have died to a Needler

[forest lagoon]

Again, this is the only actual answer. Because the writing would have to be interesting and compelling enough to even delve into such a story

[forest lagoon]

Welcome!

[silk narwhal]

Also don’t say can of worms again in this debate ok

[forest lagoon]

Sorry, did the can of worms open and become a hunter?

[misty kite]

Hello Mandalorian

[jaunty yoke]

If you want to put a Spartan in more equal footing you should instead consider Clone Commandoes or even Darth Vader

[candid tusk]

Can of lekgolo*.

[forest lagoon]

Even then I find clone commandos to be more lacking

[candid tusk]

Aboleth is clearly the only comparison to a Spartan. 💪

[forest lagoon]

I wanted to, but then I couldn't have said "can of worms" again

[silk narwhal]

A Spartan could even defeat superman all he needs is to have part of his armour embedded with kriptonite

[jaunty yoke]

You saw the Didact using the force against the Chief, so you know what Vader can do

[silk narwhal]

What was the non ring thing called from hw2

[smoky token]

I don't even know spanish but this is still hilarious

[hasty zinc]

the Ark?

[jaunty yoke]

"They look like Fisher-Price toys"

[frozen tendon]

Where do you post videos I made

[hasty zinc]

#1076327824924872755

[frozen tendon]

Ty

[jaunty yoke]

What post does this comment come from?

[silk narwhal]

Isn’t the ark the name of the wmd on every fore runner planet thing

[smoky token]

the new forge stuff

[silk narwhal]

Idfk

[jaunty yoke]

Figures

On one hand, they're Forge tools, you can't expect them to be as detailed as dev made assets
On the other hand, yeah some do look pretty bad

[smoky token]

they are dev made assets

[jaunty yoke]

I mean yeah
Dev made maps and Forge maps are both technically dev made because the Forge tools were created by the devs
But you can tell them apart for a reason

[smoky token]

I think the argument you are trying to make is
"Since you can't taylor-make them to any particular map, they have to look pretty generic to fit any proverbial square hole you put them into"

[jaunty yoke]

I guess

Still they are an improvement over Reach's Forge tools being all grey metal plates

[silk narwhal]

Anyone play halo infinite multiplayer

I’m wondering if you would like to add me so we could play sometime

I don’t have a mic yet though

[hasty zinc]

#lfg-social

[hasty zinc]

I really like the H4 flood

they were so cool looking

[pastel oriole]

MCC players here, or just Infinte?

[steady jolt]

Both, you can use our LFG channels for all Halo games

You'll probably find Infinite has a majority though

Anyone BR?

[somber jungle]

im find invasion matchmaking now. i need 15 people to finded the mode... I need the nameplate 😦

just 15 people that lets go find the mode 😢

[left bone]

ouuh

[shrewd hearth]

Is there anyone having requested refund for price difference? I bought the cat ears 2-3 days ago, and it’s on sale now.

[tardy thistle]

You can refund for what you paid for the points on Microsoft website but I’m not sure about the infinite currency

Should also say you’d need a valid reason to do that ^

[astral sky]

how do u get the cat ears

iv never seen it on the shop before

[left bone]

i finally finished the winter contagiousgency 3 event pass thingamabob

couldnt get the bonus armor coating because im broke as a rock

[shrewd hearth]

I don’t want a full refund, I just want to get back those extra credits I paid.

[left bone]

will those hcs coating stuff make me a better player?

[shrewd hearth]

I bought it from attatchment page before, and as aerozola said, you can buy it now from the shop.

[tardy thistle]

Oh then I’m not sure how that’d work. Gl though

[astral sky]

ye i see now thx

[fickle drift]

I just got my first ninja. I’m so hype! I’ve been waiting for this moment 😭😭🔥

[rare cedar]

[twilit vector]

Today i learned you can play as some units in halo wars

Like actually control there movements and attacks

I kinda like it

[rare cedar]

May the enemies now know pain

[rugged birch]

is the new pass all free?

or just another season pass with free and premium

[hasty zinc]

it's free unless you want to pay $5 for a bonus cosmetic item and making the operation pass permanent

(price will vary on country of course)

[rugged birch]

so just like the winter one?

[rare cedar]

Aegis ignoring my ping smh

[hasty zinc]

I just saw it!

[rare cedar]

[rugged birch]

also it's just shoulder armors for now?

when's full cross core amour

[rare cedar]

For cross core, yes

[muted rose]

Helmets, all new coatings shoulders and visors are cross core, hoping hip attachments or chest attachments are next

Shoulders are cross core on the 30th(?) update

[forest lagoon]

I'm really hoping the Wolf shoulders will be white on the MK7 Primal Glory coating

Spartan Ops from Halo 4 should have matchmaking. It had on the original version on 360

[silk narwhal]

Does anyone remember there first ever game they ever played

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 3

[rare cedar]

Halo: CE

Oh game?

Mario Tennis on the Nintendo Virtual Reality Boy

[steady jolt]

Something on the Atari 2600, probably Trap Door

[final rose]

My first games were browser games. I only had a Windows XP PC. I think my first one was some Mario game on the browser

My first console game was Malice

[final rose]

On the PS2

[silk narwhal]

I don’t mean first halo game

[rare cedar]

yup

still is

[forest lagoon]

Sadly I just learned that it doesn't qualify you to be a firefighter 😭

[rare cedar]

ODST had it first 😉

[silk narwhal]

Why is so little people playing squad battles rn there’s usually enough people playing it so you don’t have to wait long

[rare cedar]

east coast US is just now waking up

give it a couple more hours to get it populated 🙂

[forest lagoon]

I'm Central and disappointed I'm waking up right now

[rare cedar]

you must really hate yourself

jk ur a jolly

[forest lagoon]

Mainly the fact that if I have a chance to sleep in, my body goes "sleep in! Awesome!!! Let's wake up hours before we normally do! FOR FUNSISES!!!"

I do really hate that part

[rare cedar]

I only get up to use the restroom

but i'm also lazy to get up

[normal owl]

I wish my body would wake up on its own. If it wasn't for my phone alarm I'd sleep through a fire.

[rare cedar]

but i can't sleep with a full bladder

[rare cedar]

same bro

[forest lagoon]

The struggle is real

[silk narwhal]

That’s normal

I think

[forest lagoon]

Depends how often he has to get up

[normal owl]

omg all this time I thought Panda was a total freak

[silk narwhal]

True

[normal owl]

Now @rare cedar will sleep easy.

[silk narwhal]

You said it not me. I wasn’t even implying that

[normal owl]

But yeah, I also woke up early. Get documents ready for those classic Saturday signings we all love.

[forest lagoon]

Oooo giving out your autograph?

[normal owl]

In a way! Notarizing for client signatures on wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents. "Exciting" would be an overstatement.

[rare cedar]

do you have a stamp yet

[normal owl]

Always bro

[rare cedar]

how do I donate to you

[normal owl]

Dollars or plasma?

[rare cedar]

yes

I tried looking on her artstation and didn't see a button

[normal owl]

@forest lagoon sorry I didn't know about this! Would love to as well.

Whoa, "commission"! Renaissance statue of David but with @rare cedar 's face. Instant front yard garden centerpiece.

[forest lagoon]

LOL

[normal owl]

Last Supper but with Master Chief and faces from people in this server.

[rare cedar]

I'll put it on my wall

[pastel walrus]

(sorry for the random rant) just wanted to point out something strange, why do a lot of the negative opinions on halo come from people that don't play it? 343i posted about the new covenant forge items, and one of the top comments is some dude saying they look untextured and that 343i were too lazy to add the hexagonal patterning...?? Whilst forge mode is ENTIRELY built around the ability to apply custom patterning and materials to pretty much any object, so clearly this person hasn't even played forge? I can't be the only person that's frustrated with how people just farm likes and engagement on social media by just spewing out the same "halo bad" "343i bad" takes that people have had for years with almost no basis

[forest lagoon]

Because people gonna people

[faint mantle]

Sky, Attorney, and I all woke up early on Saturday. What are the chances...

[normal owl]

Panda was awake too. Our initials together are SPAM or MAPS.
Either we are getting new maps in Infinite today, or this server will be getting some spam.

[pastel walrus]

or we'll be getting spam themed maps for infinite, would love a fish based map

[forest lagoon]

I wouldn't be mad at a spam map

[rare cedar]

YOU MEAN LIKE LONGSHORE THAT HAS FRONK ON IT

[faint mantle]

We can't be sure of that, rn for Panda its 11:00 PM

[rare cedar]

[rare cedar]

[faint mantle]

I haven't gotten out of bed for two reasons:

1. It's cold outside of these sheets
2. My dog is next to me and I don't wanna bother her

[pliant hatch]

idk, I've seen comments that they don't look great in a few different halo forums.

[steady jolt]

Me, who said I was gonna have a lie in, still ended up waking early

[normal owl]

Aw that's the right priority.

[rare cedar]

I miss having a dog

[normal owl]

Now it's "spams" or "S Maps"

[forest lagoon]

You are obligated to not moving. Moving would be wrong

[faint mantle]

That means either a lot of boring maps or great, memorable maps 😤 👌

[normal owl]

S tier

[forest lagoon]

S maps is spam, spam is s maps, S maps is spam, spam is s maps, S maps is spam, spam is s maps,

[normal owl]

By the way, here is a sneak peek behind the scenes of the local modeling shoot I did.

i'm off to bed

Bro why was my name prohibited 💀

I changed my Discord Profile name and all of a sudden got a message from Gaius

you used a word that the bot auto flagged

No no no why is it a word that gets flagged?

[hasty zinc]

didn't it sell out like almost instantly?

I wore it the other day

Aw, bummer. Had I known I'd bought and shipped you one.

But uh... That's one more reason to attend Worlds!

I really wanted that jersey

I didn't realize how close the new Mt Dew H3 shirt was so much alike the original from 2007

[drifting silo]

What the heck is going on with these 0 damage gravity hammers in fiesta???

I’ve had a dozen kills not happen because my point blank hammer just didn’t deal damage and I’ve survived 2 or 3 times getting point-blank hammered myself!

It’s making me get tilted

[rancid valve]

your just lucky

[fickle drift]

hey everyone

[covert dove]

Yeah that’s a common issue with hammers in PvP in general, not just fiesta. It’s especially bad with Diminisher of Hope

[tacit quest]

What’s up dudes

[rancid valve]

hi

[pliant hatch]

It's just inconsistent. The aoe on it is also too much.

[jaunty yoke]

Diminisher of Hope is near useless

The other hammer variation, the white one, that's the useful one

[quaint canyon]

i'm still suprised halo reach didn't use an artstyle similar to halo wars or combat evolved since both games are set around a similar timeframe. Halo wars released only a year before reach.

[jaunty yoke]

Halo Wars was made without Bungie's approval, so they didn't want anything to do with it

Reach did take some elements from CE however
Namely health packs

Not a fan of Reach's gritty art style and darker color schemes nor its focus on attachments and Spartans carrying ammo around, that seems to me like Call of Duty inspiration way more than sprint and killstreaks

[obsidian wyvern]

not really

I think they subtly buffed it because it seems decent now

[normal owl]

It was indeed: a scene where we're enjoying drinks and entertainment. There's an unspoken agreement between talent that, if you're not in the shot, you sneak pics of those that are and send to them. 🤝

[limpid ferry]

The Trailer for Halo Infinite CU29 goes live Monday at 11:00am

Not sure of the time zone it’s probably either PST or EST

[twilit vector]

There is alot of amror ingame that hasn't been in the shops or events yet

[limpid ferry]

Hopefully they’ll arrive with the release of this update

[twilit vector]

Some of the amrors say available in upcoming event.
3 of them have been saying that since season 1

[limpid ferry]

The Gunir are confirmed to be free release after the update goes live Tuesday

[twilit vector]

That im happy about

Just need the milltary police

[limpid ferry]

Oh my god yes

Can’t have that true Halo Marine look without the MP helmet

[twilit vector]

I wonder how mp would look on rakshasa

[limpid ferry]

I did notice the MP helmet in the Promo art for the new update

[twilit vector]

Only marine coating we got is the halo 4 Marine color

[twilit vector]

Wait what where

[limpid ferry]

If you look past the Mark IV Spartans you’ll see it

[twilit vector]

The coating is hammerhead
Looks like the halo 4

[limpid ferry]

I almost missed it myself

[twilit vector]

Is there more them one promotional art

Because the one i see just has the Normal marine version

[limpid ferry]

It’s on the marine in the background

[twilit vector]

Ok you have to send me the photo then

And point it out because all i see is the Normal marine

[limpid ferry]

It’s the MP helmet but the marine has his face covered by those tactical masks.

[twilit vector]

Thats not mp
Yes the top part is the same as mp but mp is a full helemt

Wich you can see it in game on the marine snipers

The marine snipers are just missing the visor psrt

[limpid ferry]

https://imgur.com/a/UoVtubh

Oh ok darn it looks very close though

The marines in reach wore the actual MP helmet

[obsidian wyvern]

seems like it gives more now

[twilit vector]

I sent you pics of what the mp looks like

Now the McFarlane version of halo infinite mp i do kinda like

I wish the marines could drive vehicles

[smoky token]

these are typically PST

since thats where 343 is

[limpid ferry]

I wonder if our Year 2 HCS Coatings will be cross core as well in this update?

I’m talking specifically the HCS Playoff Coatings and the Year 2 Starters.

[obsidian wyvern]

they didn't mention it but would be nice to have a black and blue scorpion

[tight remnant]

Should have quoted the other guy but

[covert linden]

yo

[twilit vector]

My friend is hoping they become cross core because he loves the space station playoff coating and he wants it on his guns and vehicles

[limpid ferry]

Right like who doesn’t love the look of Solid Gold

@pseudo ore how did you become a software engineer for microsoft

and why would someone that talented be a discord mod damn

[strong ether]

i find it weird that they removed that from the spartan armor, because where do they grab the mag from to reload

[calm fiber]

Please do not tag Admins or Moderators unless immediate action is needed. If you see anything that does not abide by our rules and guidelines, please tag a Moderator to bring it to their attention.

[strong ether]

i wish you could put decals on your armor in the next halo game as a form of customization ngl

[twilit vector]

And actually put them where there not covered by the amror

[smoky token]

@candid solar show me the jimmy rings armor

[twilit vector]

Emblems on amror is very useless on like 90% of the chest

So like let use have the ability to place the emblem elsewhere on the amror so its not covered

[frail galleon]

how else am i supposed to ask it, bot?

[strong ether]

only thing i wish for is that on the next halo game or a contest where the community can model armor sets and the community would vote if it would be added to the game.

[strong ether]

google it.

[frail galleon]

'how did discord user deek become a software engineer' - no results sadly

[candid solar]

I'll manipulate as many votes as I have to in order to get a 100% game accurate set of Seeker in Halo Infinite.

[winter flame]

is there still no ranked rejoin? i dc'd cause my interent decided to dc but no rejoin :( supprised if they all quit immediately cause we were like 5 kills up

no 😐

[neat fractal]

Hey does anyone want to play halo ce with me?

[winter flame]

pain, 100% coulda rejoined that match and won

[obsidian wyvern]

it's wild because even mcc has rejoin now

and you lost 15csr for that

[winter flame]

i can understand rejoining doesnt negate the disadvantage

but the other players have the oppertunity to quit UNTIL you rejoin

if another player quits after you, disable rejoin. but otherwise you should be able to rejoin and try and win

and then if you lose just give the DCer a harsher CSR loss then the others

[amber mirage]

That's hype

[obsidian wyvern]

I was hoping there would be some sort of effect from the punch and I wasn't disappointed

[amber mirage]

Tekken is nothing without cool fist collisions

Ok ima go on a rant. Who’s idea was it to put a wrath on the og halo 3 map that has a tower at both ends

It makes any mode one sided

"Challenge"

[fickle drift]

How many of y’all got Paramount plus just for halo

[steady jolt]

I did initially, but kept it to watch some other stuff. Had to ditch it for a while, but will be getting it back for Season 2. Also looking forward to Season 2 of Mayor of Kingstown

[fickle drift]

I’m so excited Joseph Morgan is in season 2

He’s a great actor

[steady jolt]

Yeah, he should be good 😄

[obsidian wyvern]

is the show releasing in the UK at the same time this time

[fickle drift]

Not sure

One thing the show did in season 1 is that they made Halsey out to be the villain when I think they should have focused on the covenant. I’m glad it looks like they are doing that in season 2

[cedar turret]

made Halsey out to be the villain

cause she's so kind and lovable in every other depiction?

[fickle drift]

Not saying that.

The covenant are the real threat

[amber mirage]

They can do both

I actually thought the Halsey as a "bad guy" thing was one of the better aspects of S1

[fickle drift]

It was interesting

I just felt the covenant got sidelined

[main nebula]

Are the 2 new drops emblems?

[silk narwhal]

How often does halo infinite get updated

[smoky token]

halsey has always been depicted as a villain in the mainline game/story too

[silk narwhal]

I began watching the halo show I didn’t get all the way through it that was probably mainly because when I began watching it I binged it a little and there weren’t too many episodes

I want to watch it again mainly because I’m a little interested and I don’t really have an opinion on it

[strong ether]

the covenant is gone in halo infinite

their government and capital annihilated, the High Prophet of Truth killed, and most of the loyalists' fleet destroyed by the Sangheili fleet above the Ark, the Covenant as an entity was completely destroyed.

there was barely a covenant left after high charity got obliterated

The Covenant Storm led by Jul 'Mdama wanted to reform the original Covenant and continue to worship the Forerunners but he kinda died in H5 tbh

[jaunty yoke]

The Covenant is almost never the only villain

They share screentime with the Flood, Prometheans, Forerunners, ONI or the Banished

[strong ether]

i like the banished more than the covenant ngl

they dont seem as a pushover compared to the covenant

[cobalt flower]

did 343 talk about every thing in the update already?

[strong ether]

wdym everything? Like seasons or smthn?

they avoided the talk about weapons and stuff.

[cobalt flower]

like all the patch notes

[strong ether]

i think they didnt, not sure

they were more yapping about HCS and Forge objects more than like, armor and stuff

[cobalt flower]

how does cod have assassinations and halo doesn't 😭😭😭

[cobalt flower]

gotta have the hcs stuff

[strong ether]

BeCaUsE iT dOeSnT hAvE a CoMpEtItiVe AdVaNtAgE

[cobalt flower]

I can't believe im gonna give them money for the war master helmet 🗿 i spent like 1k on h5

[strong ether]

who cares bro i want to throw a 1000 pound hunk of metal to the stratosphere

[cobalt flower]

ong just turn it off

[strong ether]

how did you spend 1k to h5 😭

[strong ether]

THERE WAS A BUTTON FOR IT IN H5

and every game i was in when i got hit in the back i got assassinated. And ngl i wasnt even mad abt it

[cobalt flower]

I have everything in it🗿

[strong ether]

i have nearly everything

[cobalt flower]

YES💀💀💀

[cobalt flower]

Achilles?

[strong ether]

343 please bring back the achilles armor

as like an armor core maybe

[cobalt flower]

what 343 games custimzation do you like the best?

this armor core feels rp asf

[strong ether]

i like infinites customization minus the core and coating part

i wish they'd sell colour pallets, patterns and decals instead

and give you like for f2p players a alittle desaturated grimy colours. so edgelords gotta pay for a real black color

[scenic heron]

What's up gang

[elfin glacier]

just washed my bedsheets

now they smell nice

[scenic heron]

The best sleep

[strong ether]

i got a question for yall, would you rather pay like 5 bucks for a colour pallete and 5 bucks for a pattern to customize your spartan or rather stick to the coating thingamajig

[bold sparrow]

Pallet.

Though in truth the coatings basically being additional customization options is nice

[candid solar]

They let me paint every core in the exact same camo pattern. Is nice.

[obsidian wyvern]

@dark lance accidentally found a way

ok maybe its broken lol

[cedar turret]

y'know...i honestly expected i'd deal with more quicksand in my life than i have

[fickle drift]

Could somebody help me out a bit here,

I'm trying to edge ghost on Halo 3, but it seems to really like launching me backward instead of up

Sometimes I'll go straight up but I haven't figured out what Im doing different

[vast venture]

Have you tried working in a call center?

[candid solar]

Become the call center

[cedar turret]

I don't think they have pits of quicksand between the landlines

[cobalt pivot]

I found a Screenshot from 3 years ago and I love it so much

[wintry plank]

Nerf gravity hammer

[vast venture]

Submit a ticket 😊

[dark lance]

The follow up message has me crying 😭🤣

[grizzled gazelle]

Dunno why but I find the MK5B armor combination "Rusalka" and the Y2 Complexity Playoffs coating to be Completely hilarious

[solemn scroll]

Just found out that Monument to All of Your Sins is an achievement on MCC. I remember unlocking it on the OG Reach on Halloween of 2010, so I guess now is as good of a time as ever to unlock it on MCC~

[lost meadow]

I don't think it would be very Halo like, but I wonder what it would be like if the Plasma pistol was a usable equipment instead of a weapon. It would make the noob combo really easy, but there would be a cooldown rate too. Functionality is up to you. It would be more practical but it would make it feel to much like Apex legends.

[solemn mauve]

Does anyone play halo reach invasion anymore?

[silk narwhal]

This escalated quickly

Anyone ever get every achievement on an Xbox game

[cedar turret]

i'd say quite a lot of people have.

[silk narwhal]

Ye probably

[frail galleon]

Did my message get deleted

[solemn scroll]

yup

[silk narwhal]

Probably a spoiler or something

I presume spoilers aren’t allowed

[calm fiber]

For server moderation concerns, please send a direct message to @bleak yoke.

[solemn scroll]

Yeahhh I really don't care much about the show, but I haven't gotten to season 2 yet. So I really hope what you posted isn't true lol.

[frail galleon]

Halo 2 laso is really easy and jackals are balanced

[silk narwhal]

Ye? Halo probably wouldn’t have survived long enough without chief

Speaking of which chief is going to be in the next game right

[gloomy pond]

how do you beat Hunters in the Gravemind level?

[left bone]

it all keeps tumbling down
tumbling down
tumbling doownnn

[silk narwhal]

Idk but I usually just try my hardest to attack them from behind with melee if I have no explosives or shot gun

[gloomy pond]

Hunters in H2 are immune to back melee

[silk narwhal]

I probably haven’t gotten to that level yet

[silk narwhal]

Good to know I didn’t know that

[hoary cosmos]

Howdy. Anybody trying to do a MCC Legendary Reach play through? I did a legendary H3 solo play through to warm up last week.

[silk narwhal]

Anyone else just dual wielding covenant death smgs in halo 2

[hoary cosmos]

Xbox one

[silk narwhal]

When you find 2 of them

[gloomy pond]

the only explosive weapons in Gravemind level are the Fuel Rod Cannon and the Brute Shot, but Hunters have a big melee that directly kills you in one hit

even if you evade them, the game has it hard to register that and, instead, register it as "Hunter hit you"

[silk narwhal]

Then get those explosives get behind them and problem solved

[hoary cosmos]

Convenant smgs ain’t bad. I like to overcharge basic green pistol in one hand to instantly destroy brute and elite shields, and then a pistol in the other hand to headshot. It’s a Fun run and gun technique.

[gloomy pond]

sadly, Hunters are really hard to kill on Heroic + some skulls

[hardy echo]

E.

[lament cosmos]

I wish The rookie ||Didnt die in new blood.|| ignoring that, amazing book.

[hardy echo]

Md fan .:D

[lament cosmos]

I love MD.

[thorn wigeon]

I just found someone who is remake CE maps in forge

[fickle drift]

can anyone pls help me with setting lan co op

its on pc

[open oyster]

Aaa

Hello, and also goodnight

Hope yall sleep tight, make sure not to let the flood spores bite

[fickle drift]

pls halp

I find it utterly ridiculous how you can't move your cursor down on Halo infinite to better reflect that of the earlier halo games

pls anyone halp

Whats up

[fickle drift]

oh hello

#1075989764026675210 my question is there

I'm terribly sorry but I've got no clue how to help with that

[fickle drift]

oh thats alr

So whatever happened to the dlc campaign 343 said was gonna be post content on infinite

[hasty zinc]

how's this for a plot twist: they never said there would be campaign DLC

[fickle drift]

I don't even know why I bother with infinite

I literally just glitched through the ground on one of the earliest MP maps

[fickle drift]

I remember reading about another campaign but it never happened

[candid solar]

Well, those were unsubstantiated rumors.

:>

[twilit vector]

Wait a second
So if there now doing operations none stop now
We can no longer earn credit through the pass

[bold sparrow]

No need for the giant screaming post mate, Im pretty sure people here know how to avoid scams.

[prime lintel]

you never know

[bold sparrow]

(Also you know...just play on Series X and never have to worry about that problem ever. Lol)

(Xbox stays winning)

I mean, you can always just...check your actual account.
If you got banned there'll be a big fat notice on it.
Look up how Valve handles that. They're not subtle.

[twilit vector]

The second someone says my account is blocked/banned
I go check for myself

[candid solar]

I don't even bother to check, lmao. If I was blocked or banned I'd figure it out.

You reported me? Awesome, not the first time. I'm banned? Cool story, why can I still talk?

[livid plover]

.

[prime lintel]

yeah true

i was just trying to help

[cedar turret]

move on.

[forest drum]

Is ranked doubles becoming a permanent game mode in infinite?

[crystal bronze]

Better

[floral pollen]

Doubles and Slayer are gonne be permanent as of the 30th

[fickle drift]

Have y’all read the interview online Joseph Morgan did talking about season 2 of halo

[crystal bronze]

Alright , question can the 3 guardians from destiny titan , hunter and warlock beat AINZ ol goans dungeon of nazarick aka his home

[fickle drift]

He said everyone is gonna hate James Ackerson his character

[pastel walrus]

as far as I see, at least the next three operations passes do not give you credits

however, this is balanced out by 99% of the items being free, and the premium track just grants a bonus item, and for the pass to stay available to you forever

so I think the model is more, you are rewarded for being around and playing by being able to have the passes for free for the most part, but for people that are busy, the passes are available to buy (I'm guessing the assumption is that busier people will most likely be at work or something, and so will have the spare money to buy the pass)

plus the passes are 500 credits instead of 1000, though granted you are getting 20 tiers instead of 100

[tardy thistle]

Yeah and I’m sure like in the books also CICONI will hail him a hero also

[maiden steppe]

[urban monolith]

What’a

@urban monolith

[mild grove]

silly question, so since the season is ending, will competitive ranks reset?

[rare cedar]

I believe it will

[mild grove]

gah

[wild sleet]

Finally Diamond Grade

[mild grove]

so close to onyx bruh

[obsidian wyvern]

now begins the realisation

[mild grove]

im Diamond IV right now and im so close

[wild sleet]

Better not be a “150 is Halfway” realisation

[obsidian wyvern]

it kinda is. but I think saying 150 is the halfway point when you've only got 2 more levels to go is worse

[wild sleet]

Well this is where the fun begins

[iron lynx]

Morning

[rare cedar]

I’m almost at diamond

[fickle drift]

Gonna be honest I’ve been a fan of halo since reach and I’ve played infinite since launch, but that development stream 343 held recently where they just cut seasons is pretty soul crushing to me personally and maybe other people don’t feel as strongly as me in this regard but that’s pretty big news to me at least

[strong ether]

Tbh, i think the only saving grace that could be possible if they want to achieve that 10 year dream is to turn halo into a mmo, where your own spartan is the MC.

But making MMOs is expensive af. But halo as an mmo fps would go so hard.

Probably bring it back from the grave while we are at it.

[crystal bronze]

Wrost anime tropes(not subjective)
1.the entire concept of an isekai
2. Harem
3. Demon king this demon king that
4.the mc being OP without actually working for that power
5. Every side,main,or any character in general always being a female
6.the mc picking on a bunch of thugs and saves a girl

If you disagree you’re wrong

[strong ether]

Ngl i will never watch a harem anime

[crystal bronze]

Don’t

[strong ether]

I only watch animes for the fighting scenes. So i can go "cool" and thats it.

[steady jolt]

Focusing more on Operations, which are like mini seasons, releasing more often and without the need to buy them

[crystal bronze]

Stcker how tf this guy profile majestic

[crystal bronze]

Ight

[strong ether]

Halo mmo would go so hard bro we already have the lore for it

[crystal bronze]

Isn’t that what halo infinite is

[strong ether]

No halo infinite is just another fps game but its f2p

MMO are games like WoW, Eve online, Star wars old republic, warframe and destiny 2

[iron lynx]

I think they mean infinite’s campaign, but even then it’s a crossover between the two in the end.

[topaz heron]

2 DAYS TILL S6

[steady jolt]

2 days until the next Operation, seasons aren't going to be a thing now

[strong ether]

the campaign is open world

[iron lynx]

ah, yes. I got my genres mixed up, my mistake.

[strong ether]

apperantly halo had an mmo back in the day

but it got scrapped

[young solar]

does anyone know if old events/operations will ever come back

or a way to purchase those old armors?

[steep zealot]

Anyone tried handheld naming pcs like Rog ally or legion go

And play a halo game with it¿

[obsidian wyvern]

no one really ever bought those at work

[steep zealot]

But for gaming in halo

How would it change co,pared to using Xbox controller

With the basis of a Nintendo switch

[sharp jay]

I tried the GeForce now stuff on my iPad with a controller connected, For the most part it was pretty smooth but it does lag a bit depending on your connection

[steep zealot]

Hmmm interesting

[sharp jay]

I do believe the rog ally and legion go would primarily use the same software but I think you would have to set up a hotspot for them

[analog knot]

I’ve used a steam deck - once 343 ironed out all of the issues of making the game actually launch it works pretty well most of the time. Limited by the hardware of course.

Keep in mind if it’s a device that’s running the game natively you won’t have the long input delays associated with streaming.

[strong ether]

i hope they revert the ranked starter weapons ngl

[young solar]

u want br again?

[strong ether]

i want atleast not only 1 weapon

bandit is too unreliable

[young solar]

thats why its good for ranked its harder to use

higher skill gap = good for the lively hood of ranked

gotta know when u can and can't do certain things with it

br just does it all which makes it unfun ur garenteed to hit one of the three bullets as long as ur not brand new to the game

plus mnk is more even with controller its just better all around

plus the br is usually close to initial spawn

[strong ether]

thats not how it works, because a weapon is unreliable and hard to use doesnt make it a good competitive weapon

the bloom is annoying and its more of a game of "who shoots who first" since its more viable as a SWAT weapon than a ranked weapon

[young solar]

and plus if there was 2 different rotating ranked weopons it would be much more annoying then just one

id rather have consistancy and learn one weopon then 2 different completely functional weopons fr

[strong ether]

you dont understand what i said lmao

[young solar]

the bloom is so minimal i have never noticed it its very reliable for me

[strong ether]

i said not two rotating weapons god no

[young solar]

^

[strong ether]

yeah but not different weapon per match

2 starter weapons wouldve been better but the issue is how small infinite weapon sandbox is

i had a better experience with halo reachs DMR than the bandit.

the bloom on the bandit barely give you a penalty for spamming the fire button.

ttk for the bandit evo is shorter than the battle rifle, so i dont get the fuss about the battlerifle being better than the bandit evo

[fickle drift]

greetings

[young solar]

sup

[young solar]

its mainly the range

and the little skill it takes

[strong ether]

what the br?

[young solar]

yeah the br is wild always has been not that thats a bad thing

i actually pickup the commando a bit more now for more range but with br i just use that why pickup anything if ur main gun takes the need to use the arenas weapons'

its a shotgun close range a sniper far range im glad its still on the map though but br starts was unfun im ngl

[sonic nacelle]

[fickle drift]

[strong ether]

im looking if i get more kills with BR ranked than Bandit EVO ranked and i noticed that the bullet magnetism is more directed at the body

[young solar]

i just think its more healthy for the arena i actually pick things up rather then just running with br all game

halo is an arena game and if one weapons' makes every other gun pointless then its not a very healthy arena imo

[strong ether]

add a good storyline and thats it

[strong ether]

i got less kills with BR than with bandit evo, i think the main issue is probably the bullet magnetism, i heard that alot of players have to aim the crosshair of the bandit above the head instead of right on, and for the BR is different, headshotting someone in the back when running is near impossible to do compared to BR where it is as easy as breathing, the headshot capability of the BR is better than the bandit evo. But the bandit evo has better TTK ability probably because of higher headshot damage when you DO hit the headshot.

[young solar]

i like the br id just rather it be a pickup weopon

it just does everything

[strong ether]

i think the main thing that makes the BR so good is that one bullet from the 3 round burst is a headshot instakill

without that i think even the carbine woudlve been a better choice if it was in halo infinite, speaking of that.

im seeing alot of screenshots of people finding the carbine in campaign or something.

[steady jolt]

[sturdy frigate]

i need a weapon

[strong ether]

ob omnr

i just had one guy flex that he earn 100 dollars after playing 32 matches lmao

[silk narwhal]

Is halo infinite getting a new season or something any time soon

[hasty zinc]

#announcements

[obsidian wyvern]

i called it, marketing this is gonna be hard

[young solar]

did they announce old events/those mini battlepasses returning?

i missed one of them and i want that helmet in it

[obsidian wyvern]

people will notice when a new season is coming out. they wont realise what content update 37 is

[sinful thistle]

do any of y'all collect halo toys?

[hasty zinc]

here and there

[silk narwhal]

They need to fix some/ all of the maps there so buggy you sometimes glitch through it you don’t die you just glitch in out. Also in my opinion it’s they should remove the wrath from the vallaheim map that vehicle just makes any mode one sided on that map

[scenic bluff]

Halo infinite : stuck on loading screen, the one that shows the map. Ig this may not be the right channel. If so please direct me.Could someone help

[silk narwhal]

There should only be vehicles like warthogs,mongooses,ghosts. Basically anything but a tank

You also never see any scorpion tanks on any map

I may have gotten the map name wrong I don’t know the name of the maps because you never see the name of the map anywhere but basically it’s a classic halo 3 map with 2 towers and both ends of the map and it’s basically a line

[candid solar]

Such a baffling decision.

[obsidian wyvern]

this was a mouthful

[pallid stratus]

I’m not a fan of Spartan 4s

[silk narwhal]

?

[boreal bear]

Hopefully with the re-invention of 343 we'll get some actual flood in the games. Idk if it was MS choice or 343 themselves, but they push so hard for a T rating. But keep adding flood in sneaky ways to please oldhead fans. I don't think kids these days even care about halo or know what it is, hopefully they give up on the T rating schtick and as a result give us the flood in a game again 😭

[strong ether]

343 did really good marketing when teasing halo 5s release

[steady jolt]

I'm quite happy not having flood in the games anymore

[strong ether]

bro, when they talked about the endless i thought they were talking about the flood

i was so dissapointed when it was just a random species i have NEVER heard of

[boreal bear]

ya too good, even. it was disappointing what we got compared to how it was advertised

[boreal bear]

but why 😔

[strong ether]

they are cool tho, in hindsight, its just so silly. The halo ring that has the highest concentrated amount of flood in one place and just nothing.

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/halo5spartans-fireteam-osiris-gif-27024036

[strong ether]

there was a teaser about the flood coming back in H5 legendary ending too

[young solar]

bro this cutscene was so peak

[boreal bear]

the flood were a pretty critical part of halos success, like... without the flood halo 1 wouldnt have been so wild. it also represented a certain tone in the games, when the flood is around, its dark, bad things are happening

[young solar]

the game was good if it was a different game fr

[strong ether]

i got so hype seeing that trailer ngl, i didnt understand people whining about the movement

[steady jolt]

We've done it for 3 games already, you bring them back and they have to become the major focus - which pushes any other potential story elements out the way. You need to take care of them first

[boreal bear]

i liked the running down the guardian cause it was playable 😌

[normal owl]

When they released it as a trailer, the voice at the end saying it was "for Xbox One" even seemed out of breath lol.

[young solar]

i honestly liked it i like more mechanics allows u to widen the skill gap

[strong ether]

h5 sandbox was peak ngl

[young solar]

but it didnt feel halo

[normal owl]

SAME

[boreal bear]

the story is already so butchered, may as well just do a full reset tbh

[strong ether]

ngl, i say this so much but halo as an MMO with a new dlc every year for 10 years would go SO hard.

[normal owl]

H5 movement was outstanding: made you feel like a supersoldier, not just an armored soldier.

[boreal bear]

movement was good, but as a result they cranked down the TTK and cranked UP the bullet magnetism

[strong ether]

halo 5 magnum was a threat back then

[boreal bear]

at least they kinda toned it down later in the game

[young solar]

that thing was the grim reaper

[strong ether]

i hope they keep the old sidekick but add a magnym

[normal owl]

Agreed on the magnetism, but the lower TTK was actually true to the original spirit of Halo as a shooter: a "dance of death" vs just ambush kills rewarding positioning over dueling.

[boreal bear]

halo 5 magnum: so good theres no reason to even use other guns 😎

[strong ether]

there were people called "sandbox purists" whining about that there was too many weapons

[boreal bear]

for sure there was

thats why they removed so many weapons in infinite, and the ones that are there now are all mostly unique

[strong ether]

and vehicles. But thats what made halo, halo.

[boreal bear]

theres no sense in having a bunch of functionally similar guns

[boreal bear]

is it? halo 1-3 all had distinct weapon and vehicles, none of them were the same

[strong ether]

halo 4 and 5 had vehicle variants

[boreal bear]

yeah that was fine

[strong ether]

halo 5* not 4

weapon and vehicle variants were fun to use

or weapons that had a special trait like the h4 boltshot.

[boreal bear]

although, it made playing games kinda wack sometimes, like, you spawn a crazy banshee or wasp and are immediately sniped by the raingun tank

or the explosive sniper etc

[strong ether]

that sniper was fun to use ngl

[normal owl]

Loved the large number of weapon variants: allowed each player to equip more specifically whatever fit their individual style better. With 1 weapon per type, you can choose between CQC, assault, sniping, etc. But with all the variants, each player could be their own version of all types.

[boreal bear]

boltshot was the worst mistake 343 ever made and halo 4 overall was a disaster of a MP

343 said "erm yes, plasma nade, and pocket shotgun start, this is good..."

[strong ether]

fr, i dont get why people hated the loadout system

[strong ether]

boltshot wasnt that much of a threat in mp

it barely had any range

[boreal bear]

cap, it was LITERALLY a pocket shotgun, you chase someone, they go around a corner and prep the shotgun blast

happened to me so many times

[strong ether]

i thought the sound is audible enough to be heard

i wish they didnt remove assassinations in halo infinite ngl

[boreal bear]

being able to hear it doesnt prevent you from being shot by it unfortunately 😔

[normal owl]

People had gotten used to weapon types facilitating battlefield roles like in most other shooters, so when they expanded the sandbox, suddenly all the expertise in specific rock-paper-scissors of type vs type was less useful because any individual could be a better duelist. People who master a sandbox do not like it when their superiority is shaken and the general population can be more competitive.

[strong ether]

then dont push. Its the easiest counter

[boreal bear]

well in a scenario like you pop someones sheilds, they run behind a corner, you chase, it only takes like 1 second at most to charge the shotgun, not everyones brain reacts so fast

[strong ether]

i dont chase people with no shields when they go around the corner lmao thats how you get ninjad

[boreal bear]

this is why i dont like the AR and magum being so powerful

[boreal bear]

a ninja is easier to react to than a shotgun blast imo, at least from so many years of getting ninja'd :'

[hasty zinc]

I'm so excited for the football game today, not for the actual game but because I get to see a B-2 Spirit flyover!

[boreal bear]

waaait a minute! this isnt halo chat 😩

ive been bamboozled

[strong ether]

depends, if its a corrodor with no door theyre both a L

[normal owl]

Why not? ARs and pistols are near-universally understood by anyone who picks up a shooter, so if they're powerful, then anyone off the street can be a threat, which levels the playing field against those who've quarantined themselves into just Halo as a shooter.

[hasty zinc]

second time I get to see this absolute chad of an aircraft flying IRL

[boreal bear]

cause it just depreciates the rest of the guns

why pick up anything that isnt a rocket launcher or sniper, if you have 2 of the best weapons at spawn?

[strong ether]

when i was younger i always thought those aircrafts arent real

[boreal bear]

even the BR and DMR arent the best compared to some pick ups in infinite

[hasty zinc]

I don't blame you. It's such an unreal looking aircraft

[strong ether]

do you want people to spawn with rocketlauncher and sniper rifle or something?

[boreal bear]

i think youve completely missed what im saying

[normal owl]

because having a shooter where the competitiveness is more universally accessible is more important for a business product than a pretty-looking graph that shows how all weapons are being used equally.

[strong ether]

weapon pick ups are usually timed and centered around middle. So theres more engagement and reward during the match

[boreal bear]

for sure but traditionally, halo was more of a community game than a competitve game, despite having one of the largest comp scenes back in the day

[strong ether]

i do agree that directors shouldnt focus only on the competitive side of halo though

[boreal bear]

one of the things that made halo 5 so awful was the push towards highly competitve gameplay. one of the biggest complaints of infinite is that its such a sweaty game and you cant even relax when playing an unranked mode

[normal owl]

then I would think that the many variants of H5 would help what you're saying: encouraging a larger number of people to use different weapon types.

[boreal bear]

its not about having MORE weapons, its about having GOOD weapons

[strong ether]

technological marvels are being produced these days

[boreal bear]

and what im saying is, if the 2 guns you start with are SOOOO GOOD, why would you consider using anythiing else?

[strong ether]

because the other weapons usually have a better advantage depending in what situation you are in

[normal owl]

I do agree that sweatiness is unpleasant. I personally felt that the larger range of different weapons leveled the playing field in that, through trial and error, someone would find a weapon that would facilitate their specific playstyle by which they feel most advantaged in combat.

[boreal bear]

oh man, this is giving me a headache

[hasty zinc]

have you seen the X-59?

[strong ether]

its hard to explain what i mean, but starter weapons are usually just all-around good weapons

[boreal bear]

343/MS really really really want halo to be a comp shooter and blow up in e sports super badly but its not gonna happen i dont think

[strong ether]

yeah it looks insane

[strong ether]

e sports is dying i have heard ngl

[boreal bear]

ya but thats the problem, halo is an arena shooter, typically in arena shooters you have other guns that you can pick up. the guns you start with should never be better than any potential weapon you could find, like for example, the shock rifle in infinite. if the magnum and ar are better than the shock rifle, what is the point of the shock rifles existence, you know? thankfully thats not the case, but do you understand what im getting at?

[strong ether]

the shock rifle is a insta kill in the head, its used for long range encounters

[boreal bear]

ya im surprised it was ever popular tbh, i could never watch e sports

[boreal bear]

oh man dude, i give up lol

[strong ether]

assault rifle and sidekick are usually mid to close range weapons.

[normal owl]

You're correct: esports is constricting across many games. The evidence is in the funding, which has significantly reduced.

[boreal bear]

YA BRO THATS WHY ITS GOOD. DUHHHHHH

[strong ether]

then why are you complaining you are using a weapon wrong?

[boreal bear]

IF MAGNUM AND AR WERE BETTER, YOU WOULDNT USE IT. THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE.

[boreal bear]

THAT IS THE ISSUE WITH HALO 5. MAGNUM AND AR ARE THE BEST GUNS

[strong ether]

then use the weapon its supposed to be used for, lol.

[normal owl]

On the other hand, grassroots amateur tourneys are proliferating, which means more one-off opportunities for everyday gamers.

[boreal bear]

are you trolling me rn?

[strong ether]

no, your arguement is silly

[boreal bear]

ok so you are just this dumb naturally ????

[normal owl]

hey be nice

[strong ether]

no, im going down to your level of intelligence

[normal owl]

RELAX and be civil, it's part of the rules of the server.

[boreal bear]

idk how more clear i could be for you to understand what im saying, idk how one can misunderstand something as hard as you do

[steady jolt]

Chill

[strong ether]

i understand what you mean but the issue seems more personal because i never had it

[boreal bear]

where in what i said, did you get the impression that this is my point, like for real ???

[strong ether]

all of above.

[left bone]

uh

[boreal bear]

ok well i think you need to really go back and actually take the time to FULLY READ my sentences, not just skim it

[strong ether]

i dont feel like paying that much attention ngl it seems more of your own personal issue interfering your fun with halo

[left bone]

smartest halo fan argument

[boreal bear]

you have lost the plot

[normal owl]

Just use what makes you happy.

[strong ether]

no, i think you dont know how the game is meant to be played. just use what ever you want

[boreal bear]

well yeah, needless to say lol, do whatever is fun or works best

[strong ether]

h5 assault rifle was barely used ngl, i only saw magnum being used,

[boreal bear]

nah man, like... im talking about game balancing... if the magnum and ar (the guns you start with) are BETTER than a gun you can pick up, then, logically, there isnt incentive to pick up that gun... do you get it now?

[left bone]

⏳

[boreal bear]

😖

[normal owl]

I'm just glad it's not the CE AR: that thing shot soft tissue paper.

[floral pollen]

It honestly looks like a Longsword

[strong ether]

game balancing is nearly impossible, h5 had barely any game balancing and the starters were good starters but werent all around the best, people usually went for the battle rifle, shotgun, dmr, needler, and so on.

[boreal bear]

i miss mag dumping 60 shots into grunts tho 🥹

[strong ether]

it DEPENDS on what gun you are grabbing.

[left bone]

⏳ i hate tuesdays

[boreal bear]

no they were almost the best, save for power weapons

[normal owl]

lol just massaging enemies to sleep with the soft tiny pellets of the AR.

[boreal bear]

that thing was for sure shooting .22s

[strong ether]

then thats your own issue, you find that the magnum was the best weapon in the game

[boreal bear]

in halo 5 specifically it was

[strong ether]

i usually ran with the classic halo br than magnym

[boreal bear]

in halo infinite, its really good, but even the dmr and BR are better

[boreal bear]

right, which is YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCE. but on a competitve level, the magnum was the best

[strong ether]

br was usually used on a competitive level

[boreal bear]

most of the maps in 5 were really tight, cqc type maps

[left bone]

i prefer the magnum

[boreal bear]

i mean, people used it sure, but mostly people just stuck with the pistol...

[left bone]

easier 2 get kills with it

[boreal bear]

yeah like, this is what i mean, it was so good there wasnt really a reason to use other guns lol

[strong ether]

i saw pistol only being used in the start of the match, and more variation the longer it went on

[normal owl]

the Warzone maps were pretty incredible for a battlefield experience. All of the situational variety, like in Raid on Apex, was awesome.

[boreal bear]

i mean not to say you wont see people using other guns, but 🤷‍♂️ the magnum was just too good

majority of the time people dont bother picking up other guns, cause they are factually weaker

[strong ether]

then what gamemode did you usually play

[left bone]

SAW > AR

[boreal bear]

especially once they gave the AR headshot damage, omg... it was over

[boreal bear]

halo 4 or 5 saw? 🧐

[strong ether]

halo 5s saw was fun to use ngl

i wish they didnt remove the EMP effect of the plasma pistol tho in infinite

[boreal bear]

halo 4 saw fair and balanced https://youtu.be/5ELUHlueg3U?si=cIcUo5mGEUw9x3qS&t=236

no embed? 😔

[strong ether]

like WHY??????

[left bone]

im confused to why they did that

[strong ether]

they made the pistol next to useless unless you're trying to noob combo

[boreal bear]

cause they added the shock weapons, and needed them to feel more unique

i personally, hate the shock weapons

[strong ether]

they didnt even revamp the pistols gameplay 😂 they just removed the emp and called it a day

[normal owl]

Same. It was nice to know to grab The Disabling Weapon (plasma pistol) when you saw the battle necessitate it.

[left bone]

there was no reason to remove the emp part of the plasma pistol

[floral pollen]

I honestly feel like the Pulse Carbine just isn't a good gun, I never am able to hit anything with it, partly bc the tracking isn't great, and I just feel like it does no damage for me

[strong ether]

lmao. you havent seen it pre buff then

[floral pollen]

sumn like the Plasma Pistol tho can be useful especially in Ranked

[left bone]

i love the pulse carbine

[strong ether]

its insanely good for taking down shields

only in mid range tho

[left bone]

i always use plasma weapons to take down shields first

[floral pollen]

I know its like a burst of 2 for shields, but I just can't hit it

[strong ether]

thats what theyre mainly used for

[strong ether]

you need to usually dont go too close

[left bone]

idk why i go crazy in firefight

[strong ether]

like. a scorpions length is good

[left bone]

whenever i see a lot of enemies running up to the objective

i just go on a killing spree like doomslayer

[strong ether]

they should add a infinite round firefight tbh

its too easy.

[left bone]

true

i just be screaming like this "RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"

[floral pollen]

Try Legendary
feel pain

[left bone]

too easy

[strong ether]

legendary was meh just be careful

[left bone]

i need a real challenge

[floral pollen]

How is Legendary easy

[left bone]

it just is

[strong ether]

dont blindly rush in and you'll be fine

[floral pollen]

I've never gotten past about 5 seconds in a hill

like, none of my team

[left bone]

i learned that the easy way

now i just stay back and snipe

or go in with a shotgun or other crazy weapons

[floral pollen]

I feel like there should still be a respawn time in Legendary, like 90 seconds or sumn

[left bone]

burp

[floral pollen]

since it just feels like the game ends too fast without it

[left bone]

gotta go fast

[strong ether]

my teammate just shot a plasma grenade mid air and got me killed

[left bone]

damn

[floral pollen]

pain

[rancid valve]

no pain no gain

[strong ether]

i wish sbmm wouldnt give me teammates that cant even count to 10

[jaunty yoke]

Gotta love how Halo players never take the blame themselves

It's always either their teammates, the enemies or the matchmaking
It can never be themselves

[buoyant flax]

Are any of the halo infinite twitch drops crosscore? I’m watching to unlock gladiator’s edge but it specifies it’s on Eaglestrike which I don’t use.

[jaunty yoke]

If it specifies the core, then it's not cross core

[buoyant flax]

Got it thanks

[silk narwhal]

I think I just unintentionally crashed halo wars 2

I was using 3 scarabs and the ai basically refused to die it was a 3v3 skirmish it went through n for a long time every time I destroyed a base another one popped up i don’t know if I destroyed the last base because it just froze and crashed

I also may have had to many bases which was probably also why it crashed

[sinful karma]

Might be a stupid question but how do you get the ninja weapon charm?

[dense stag]

I’m sad

I haven’t played halo in so long bc of life but I just learned it’s receiving its last update already???

[silk narwhal]

Wdym

[dense stag]

Isn’t the update in 2 days like the final season?

[silk narwhal]

Halo infinite isn’t even that old

[sinful karma]

Not really- last season

[dense stag]

But then there’ll be no more updates after like 2 months right?

[sinful karma]

They just aren't doing seasons anymore it's not being completely discontinued

If so I haven't heard of it

They just won't be doing seasons- that's all, they have a dedicated team working on the game now

I believe they're working on the next game, not entirely sure

[silk narwhal]

If it was being discontinued there would have been a server announcement or a tweet but I don’t think there is an announcement about it being discontinued

I don’t use Twitter so I can’t confirm if there is a tweet or not

[dense stag]

Oh the YouTube videos mislead me smh

Thank god I was surprised

[silk narwhal]

If you hear anything to do with anything on the internet take it with a grain of salt. I usually don’t believe stuff on the internet until it’s been officially announced by a company

[dense stag]

True I gotta not take my news from random videos

[hasty zinc]

here, use this

[silk narwhal]

The first part should be. Insert new influencer news here

[dense stag]

Thank you Aegis I needed this flow chart

[hasty zinc]

it encompasses all new stuff regarding Halo. Content/news/influencers

[dense stag]

Btw is most of the info on Twitter? Bc I never use Twitter

[silk narwhal]

I’m not just talking about halo I’m talking about all random influencers If I’ve learned anything on the internet it’s that people will spew anything just to get attention

It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not

[analog knot]

Discontinued = Rumor, Neglected = Opinion 😄

[hasty zinc]

twitter and #announcements and waypoint are the best 3 places for official info

[bronze breach]

I would say phasing down to focus on new experiences of the future personally.

[hasty zinc]

pretty cool that the Ravens are going to the superbowl

[dense stag]

Whoa I forgot halo has a website

[jaunty yoke]

Not a fan of the new approach really

[silk narwhal]

I was going to say before. When I like read something on the internet that concerns me or something before I sort of make a decision on what I should do I usually go to discord to confirm and clarify if it’s true or not

[silk narwhal]

Does this make sense

[jaunty yoke]

Took you all of 2022 to restructure the game and finally achieved seasonality in 2023, then you celebrate one year of seasonality by ending it...

[bronze breach]

Perhaps it's simply the difficulty of making content on the infinite engine.

[silk narwhal]

At least they didn’t turn Halo into a battle royal like other devs did with their ips

[bronze breach]

But devs seemingly want to turn their games into open world games lol

[silk narwhal]

Open world is better than br

[bronze breach]

I cant imagine playing a fully open world Gears of war game.. I just cant lol

[silk narwhal]

I wish they would turn the pelicans and similar vehicles into things we can drive

I don’t know what the covenant/banished drop ships are called I know what a phantom is but I don’t know what the other one is

[bronze breach]

Leech?

[silk narwhal]

Idk I know what it looks like I’ve just never heard the name

It’s in a sort of u shape

[hasty zinc]

I'm hoping I get to see this soon too. Really close to me

I don't know if the B-2 will be on flight tracker

I hope so

[silk narwhal]

I thought the ac130 was nicknamed angel of death

[hasty zinc]

C-130 and AC-130 are different

one is for transport and the other one is an attack plane

[silk narwhal]

Which is the one in the picture

[hasty zinc]

that's a C-130

[silk narwhal]

Not really my question.

[hasty zinc]

omg it's getting closer, I'm about to go outside

[jaunty yoke]

At this point I would have taken one

[silk narwhal]

If it ain’t broke don’t mess with it halo doesn’t need to be a br

Yes halo infinite has bugs but still

[bronze breach]

Big team battle is enough. All they need to is add free for all.

[jaunty yoke]

Call of Duty didn't need to be BR either but they tried it and the result was a success

[silk narwhal]

It needs a way to choose a specific mode

For example if you just want to play capture the flag

[civic walrus]

I think they said that’s coming

[hasty zinc]

huh?

[silk narwhal]

I hope they change the wrath to something that’s in VANAHEIM I think it’s called because as I’ve said before it just makes any mode in that map one sided

[silk narwhal]

I asked which one is the transport

[hasty zinc]

C-130

[smoky token]

the A in AC-130 stands for "Attack"

the C in C-130 is for Cargo

[hasty zinc]

I heard the C-130 but couldnt' see it 😦

[jaunty yoke]

They need to spice BTB up

I need an actual good excuse to not ask for Warzone mode to come back

[hasty zinc]

it's coming back around, let's go

[silk narwhal]

VANAHEIM is the name of the map I’m thinking of right

[hallow olive]

Any gun game enjoyers here?

[smoky token]

which map?

[silk narwhal]

It’s like a map with 2 towers at bottom ends that was in halo 3 if I’m not mistaken there is also a crashed pelican you can find in it

[smoky token]

Valhalla

or Ragnarok if you are a Halo 4 enjoyer

[hasty zinc]

I saw it!!!

punched right through the clouds YES

[silk narwhal]

.

[smoky token]

pics or it didnt happen

[hasty zinc]

I tried

too cloudy

I'm gonna try to hard to get the B-2

[modest bronze]

I think I discovered an Easter egg in ODST. I haven’t been able to find anything about it online but what should I do?

[smoky token]

Describe it

[modest bronze]

I found the Rookie’s face but it won’t let me post a picture here.

[smoky token]

use Imgur

[silk narwhal]

We need a channel that’s underneath this channel that allows people to post images

[smoky token]

That won't ever happen

Issue is that people will come in and spam all manner of innapropriate images

[hasty zinc]

it's coming back around!!

[soft wharf]

Hopefully the next halo game in a few years would be good

[muted rose]

If people could handle image perms then we’d probably have image perms

Just sayin

[smoky token]

Some people do

Inheritors

[modest bronze]

How do I Imgur the image?

[smoky token]

Imgur is a website

[jaunty yoke]

How does no one know that the Valhalla remake is called Vallaheim?

[smoky token]

allows you to upload images and post them as links

[candid solar]

Because Infinite doesn't show map name usually

[modest bronze]

https://imgur.com/oQ9Fxoj

[smoky token]

barely

[modest bronze]

I know it doesnt seem like a lot but if you look closely his face been in plain sight the whole time on the cover

If someone with photoshop could maybe enhance the image in a way that exposes more you could see it

[strong ether]

what counts as a leak, if you find something in the files is it considered a leak?

[smoky token]

Talking about what's in the files itself is prohibited here
