I don't know why I'm just now realizing this, but it mildly bothers me that we've never seen a brute vacuum suit. We've seen them for grunts, jackals, and elites, but never brutes.

[hard crane]

Make sense, gamerant LOVES drama

Ooh I see

It's a sticker or something they added

[sturdy frost]

The Halo music kit is my CS2 menu music

[candid solar]

Genuinely surprised they went with the 4/5 Chief helm.

Pleasantly so, but surprised.

[short swallow]

Deeeefinitely the key binding & smoothness, I...I can NOT figure out deadzone stuff x.x so I suffer

Still, I believe the only great thing on controller, that M&K sort of has, is the slow walk motion. Almost impossible in CE, considering that was a run'n'gun experience. Being able to be virtually "invisible" whilst in motion, instead of having to crouch, is just beautiful. Since Halo 2, you can just like, WALK up to tanks without tripping motion sensors or sneak up on people camping & they just, it's awesome. Then like...somebody else was following you & ech. Sneaky sneaky

[fickle drift]

by the rings, you've got to be kidding me...

[hexed geyser]

What is the SSBM of Halo?

[fickle drift]

hell yes my way worked for broken steam achievements on halo reach just do them on xbox then transfer back to steam it unlocks

I was scrolling up to catch up but then hit that rough patch and gave up

Any tips for my little niece's jellyball shootout? From my sister: "is going to a bday party today and is nervous. theyre playing jellyball aka softer version of paintball but is wondering if you have tips. she did it once before and had no idea how it worked and when they said GO she was just standing there and got pummeled from 360 degrees for like ten sec 😭 v traumatizing"

[short swallow]

Does she have her standard Mk. VII armor?

[edgy wyvern]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[hard crane]

Aim for the chest and the knees, helmet on at all times (yeah I know the irony of saying it here), cover face when moving from cover to cover

(I assume whatever works for nerf guns shootouts also works for that)

[hallow sandal]

anyone down for some Halo shenanigans?

[normal owl]

I passed this on, thank you!

[hexed geyser]

hey look its past me

[covert tide]

Are you able to complete the killing spree medal challenge in infection?

I’m having a lot of trouble getting a killing spree

[cinder fulcrum]

no

[obsidian wyvern]

which region r u from

[covert tide]

Us e

I suck with controller is most of the problem

[obsidian wyvern]

a if it was EU I could've helped

[covert tide]

Well i need to get it myself

[crystal idol]

Can we discuss how the customization menu has an infinite loading bug? or has 343 already addressed that? I'm just curious because I'm still getting that bug.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I meant by stripping shields off people for u to finish

[covert tide]

Not going to help I cant hit anything with a controller. The max sens and acceleration is still way too slow for me

[obsidian wyvern]

does the challenge specifically say in PvP
because it can usually be done in firefight

[torn bison]

Do you guys think 343 should ban players who leave halfway in ranked its so frustrating at times how they only give warnings

[obsidian wyvern]

I would've said yes before but the quit penalties being high for them and non existent for u is fine

[covert tide]

I have no idea

Yeah it says pvp ive been trying all week to get it

[obsidian wyvern]

tried husky raid? if you get a hammer it's pretty easy

[covert tide]

I really dislike these time gated challenges that bad players cant do.

[torn bison]

Unpopular opinion but I feel like casual are more sweaty than ranked sometimes

[covert tide]

Ive been trying to get better with a controller for months. I have no idea how you guys do it.

Especially when the turn speed is so slow in this game with controller… i can never hit people behind me.

[bronze breach]

Broke my pc whilst trying to ddu smh

Screen gone black and tried switching ports etc

[covert tide]

How many kills need to be done to get a spree?

5 kills. I just got 4

[warm scarab]

I'm completely stuck trying to complete microsoft's captcha... Anyone wanna help me? It's impossible

Dont you guys miss the "No Controller" Messages from N64/ OG Xbox Games

[torn bison]

Please reconnect your battery

Disconnected xbox 360 while playing custom games on 360 people shouting yea those were great times

Reconnect your controller

[rare forge]

Lan partys 16 people Halo 3.

Those memories will never fade away.

[torn bison]

And don't forget the countless teabagging makes me chuckle thinking about it even after so many years😅

[rare forge]

I don't know how we played on those tvs with splitscreen in 4. God.

Those were the good old times. It was funny, eating all together and chilling all night long.

[torn bison]

Also one thing I really miss about the bungie multiplayer era is its a minor one but If you guys notice the sounds the funny sounds that you make while you die those were the moments that really made halo different from other games

It's more than just a game it's a social kind of thing in fact I still keep up with some of the friends I met in 2007 because of the multiplayer and custom games we were in our early 20s now we are in almost to 30 years old crazy thinking about it making friends through a video game but yeah halo was that more than just a game

[full flicker]

Just beat 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗼 𝟰, it was pretty good

[torn bison]

@full flicker are you new to the halo franchise?

[full flicker]

not really

ik that Halo 5 is considered the worst game in the franchise lol

[torn bison]

So what are your thoughts on the prometheans? Do you enjoy fighting covenant or prometheans if you have a choice?

[full flicker]

they're pretty cool ig... prefer fighting covenant definitely tho

[torn bison]

Have you played the previous games? Ce 2 3 and reach? I'd argue that 4 was worse in my opinion

[obsidian wyvern]

but it isn't

meant to reply to the msg below

[full flicker]

?

[rare forge]

Yeah

[candid solar]

Just because something's considered the worst doesn't mean it ever deserves that rep.

Except Reach

[rare forge]

I play on pc and sometimes I write in chat just greetings or glhf and no one replies, Don't know if they are all from console.

[full flicker]

i dont own Halo 2 but yeah i've played the others

[rare forge]

Halo 3 was the best, hands down.

[bronze breach]

No one owns games. We only have license to play 👍

[rare forge]

At least to me.

[full flicker]

ah... well my brother introduced me to Halo and he says that its considered the worst game in the franchise

[candid solar]

You don't need to bold Halo every time.

[full flicker]

i will if i want to

[torn bison]

I think reach has arguably the most emotional component in any halo game

[candid solar]

It's good at presenting a facsimile of depth through good atmospheric work.

[torn bison]

For example jorge sacrificed himself thinking he destroyed the covenant carrier not knowing there's another carrier and even more covenant than he himself realized

And kat out of nowhere got shot in the head

[full flicker]

bro I loved Halo: Reach

[candid solar]

Kat's made me laugh.

[hexed geyser]

Halo Reach a'k'a Press X to Be Sad

[candid solar]

And Jorge was annoying because I already knew what would happen.

Carter's made no sense, Emile's was just dumb, Six's was actually not that bad.

[torn bison]

Technically Jun is the only member of noble team who didn't die but we didn't knew what happened to him

[candid solar]

We know exactly what happened to him.

[full flicker]

everyone's death made sense with their position on the team (except Jun cuz he didnt die lol)

[candid solar]

Jun became a recruiter and trainer for the Spartan IVs.

[obsidian wyvern]

idk why u say technically
but yes we do!

[torn bison]

Idk why but I feel like jun is underated I don't see a lot of people talking about jun that much

[short swallow]

Agreed, to generic Hollywood ragtag thing

Reach had the best binoculars though

[obsidian wyvern]

as much as I'd have liked Jun to die through the events told in infinite, it could be a good sign to them not killing big characters off screen with the destruction of the infinity

(even though Jun wasn't on the infinity yes)

[candid solar]

... Oh right, 5 had 38 baseline weapons. I think that's actually the largest weapon pool Halo's ever had.

Not counting variants.

[short swallow]

Yup, vehicles as well. Almost everything got an over shield, fully automatic Carbine is mad beautiful

[hexed geyser]

Halo Reach feels like a A Emotional Warthog-coaster

[torn bison]

I would like the classic carbine to return to infinite😪

[obsidian wyvern]

meh

[torn bison]

And plasma rifle

[cosmic urchin]

x2

[obsidian wyvern]

even more meh

[cosmic urchin]

Hahahaha

[short swallow]

SMG is lackin' I liked 5's model high key

[obsidian wyvern]

I liked the carbine in 5, but we really don't need another one of those types of weapons in infinite

[candid solar]

Poorly controlled, the most annoying segment of whatever game it's in?

[candid solar]

I used to think that, but honestly, weapon variety is the one thing that-while I don't think it'd save Infinite-it certainly wouldn't do much to hurt it, either.

[short swallow]

Bungie sucked for taking dual wielding away in Reach

[cosmic urchin]

How dare you

[cosmic urchin]

True

[full flicker]

Jorge (the demolitions expert) died destroying something
Kat (the technical one) died because, by failing to press the elevator button, she gave the sniper enough time to line up the shot
Carter (the leader or captain) died going down with his ship
Emile (the tactical, close range, one) died in a close range fight
Noble-6 (they mention at the beginning he used to be a lone wolf) died fighting alone

and Jun left lol

[torn bison]

Like I remember when infinite trailer first came out and there was no plasma rifle like how is a halo game without a plasma rifle? Seeing elites using storm rifle in the trailer gameplay feels so weird

[junior horizon]

Honestly i'd like to see the sticky grenade launcher and grenade launcher make a return

[obsidian wyvern]

I wouldn't mind it coming back but it should be towards the end of the sandbox additions

[candid solar]

At least you didn't say the funny line that isn't even true.

[obsidian wyvern]

like a carbine isn't gonna bring back people the way other weapons could

[torn bison]

Dual needler was the best combo against the brutes in halo 2

[candid solar]

Cough cough DMR Cough cough

[torn bison]

Brutes in halo 2 are terrifying af on legendary especially when they are berserking

[short swallow]

It was almost the only way ((T_T))

[obsidian wyvern]

well I wasn't a fan of that choice

[candid solar]

I know, just poking fun at the one choice they made.

[short swallow]

You do Legendary one time & then you feel complete

[cosmic urchin]

Ya that literally saved my life many times especially when they got ape

[hexed geyser]

there's Some dialouge about Dual Weilding in Reach but they are just jokes about it

[short swallow]

I still get New Mombasa plaza flashbacks

[candid solar]

Okay, can't say that variant of that. Weird.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh no, I misread my point lol

I think that brought people back though because it was supposedly the balance for mkb, plus everyone liked the 5 shot kill from h5

[full flicker]

whats super freaking annoying is you can see elites dual wielding plasma rifles in the game where the player cant dual-wield

[fervent raptor]

Never played Halo until this week, beat CE on Legendary, 2 and 3 on Heroic

S tier: 343/Library/Oracle/Regret/Tsavo/Covenant/Cortana
A tier: Halo (CE)/TSC/Outskirts/Metropolis/Arbiter/Delta Halo/Storm
B tier: PoA/Maw/Cairo/Great Journey/Sierra/Ark/Halo (3)
C tier: AotCR/Keyes/Sacred Icon/Quarantine/Gravemind/Uprising
D tier: T&R/Two Betreyals/Armory/High Charity/Crow/Floodgate

^don't kill me^

[obsidian wyvern]

doing it again would do nothing imo though

[candid solar]

But I thought nobody liked 5!?

[full flicker]

what line?

[torn bison]

The covenant is undoubtedly in my opinion and many others the best mission of all time in halo history

[candid solar]

"Noble Team's deaths are ironic"

[torn bison]

Whoever designed the covenant really is a legend

Having the flood on your side I remember seeing that the first time I was like wtf

[cosmic urchin]

Hahahahaha

[torn bison]

I'm with the flood....that's the coolest thing in the world

[full flicker]

nah

[candid solar]

I am... Strongly biting my tongue, when it comes to the Covenant.

[full flicker]

they just make sense with their specialties

[candid solar]

Carter's kinda didn't, but then again, he's also wounded for no good reason because Bungie forgot to add a whole damn level.

[torn bison]

I still remember buddies and I try to get 2 arbiter idk if you guys know this but at the end when you go through the rings fight you can bring two arbiters in

[short swallow]

Truth & Reconciliation & Delta Halo for me

It's the dropping in with ODST's, for me

[candid solar]

Eh. I'm more of a fan of Swords of Sanghelios as a level.

[short swallow]

That one was hella cool

[torn bison]

We've talked about the best mission in every game now what's the most annoying mission every halo?

[rare forge]

Anyone still playing the multiplayer? Or is it kinda dead on pc rn?

[short swallow]

The ones I don't like.

[torn bison]

Halo 2 I hated quarantine zone on legendary its pure bs the flood driving vehicles are completely nightmares

And the rocket flood one hit kill

[fervent raptor]

flood sucks in 2, it doesn't swarm you like in 1 and 3

[torn bison]

Now imagine there was a flood scarab in halo 3

[torn bison]

Personally I find halo 2 flood to be the worst out of all and also the toughtest

Not just flood the whole game basically halo 2 legendary is not only legendary it's ultra legendary no contest halo 2 legendary is the most difficult out of all the halo games

[short swallow]

Ahahah no, uh...Library, The Horse You Rode In On..., Sword Base, Quarantine Zone & High Charity, Tsavo Highway & the save Cortana mission, Halo 4 & 5...I. I dunno. 4 was fairly good, but I couldn't really, care, for 5

Infinite...well, I believed in it. Felt like a kiddy Far Cry 4

[torn bison]

Try halo 2 with all skulls turned on

Those who beaten it you guys know how frustrating it is

Halo 2 LASO

It so hard to the point you can break your controller

[short swallow]

I'm not that brave dawg

[obsidian wyvern]

whoever designed the covenant USED 1 ROCK

[candid solar]

I can't decide how I feel about that. I do feel annoyed by feeling slighted, in some sense, that they're getting praise for it.

Like, why does that annoy me?

[quasi iron]

Where is the landmine in halo infinite forge?

[candid solar]

It's problably because I know anyone else doing the same thing now would get lambasted by the fanbase of a given game for it? Dunno.

[obsidian wyvern]

I think someone's made one that you can just copy

[hard crane]

I honestly don't see anything bad in particular in this

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think many people do

[torn bison]

That opening cutscene is probably one of the best opening cutscene in any game and the piano and the pelican losing control and the whole mission is just a masterpiece

[hard crane]

If anything, props for the efficiency

Why work hard when you can outsmart?

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't know this until I saw this tweet

[torn bison]

Bungie cared more about the community than the trends if you guys watched the video ex bungie next to 343 you guys will know why

[obsidian wyvern]

...

[hard crane]

laughs in destiny 2

[torn bison]

I mean 343 has improved a lot but it's nowhere near to bungie

[obsidian wyvern]

..

[candid solar]

I've seen it. And I'm convinced people who got that from the video are... Misguided.

[torn bison]

Forget about what they did in destiny

[hard crane]

Bungie cares about the community 🤣

Good one

[candid solar]

They didn't even care much about the community back then. Certainly did enjoy doing publicity stunts though.

If anything I'd say 343i cares too much about community feedback.

[bronze breach]

I think my pc is a goner. Computer turns on but no display and I tried switching ports rip

[obsidian wyvern]

#1075989764026675210 save your pc

[candid solar]

I want to clown react but I said I'd be more polite today.

[muted rose]

Bungie did too

[faint mantle]

I don't think I can help on that one

[torn bison]

But 343 dosent understand what halo is

[faint mantle]

Though I haven't even read what happened

[muted rose]

Bungie was hypercritical of themselves

[bronze breach]

Is that for tech support as well?

[muted rose]

And honestly worsened because of it

[hard crane]

I think you'll be better taking it to a technician honestly

[candid solar]

According to what? The delusions of an aging fanbase that has all the clairvoyance of a drug addicted tarot reader hawking fortunes on a New Jersey beach?

[bronze breach]

What I was trying to do was ddu and update nvidia driver. How regretful I now feel

[torn bison]

I don't know if you guys realized but 343 has this obsession with spartans it almost makes new players to halo think halo is all about spartans it's more than just spartans like don't get us wrong we love spartan but 343 it's not all about spartans

[obsidian wyvern]

I can never tell if it's just halo problems on pc or problems on pc

[steady jolt]

That video is intentionally misleading

It cherry picks

[obsidian wyvern]

you went from being somewhat pure to blargh

[bronze breach]

Who doesnt love a good cherry

[hard crane]

If Bungie would still be handling Halo you wouldn't be able to play 90% of what Infinite had since launch due to "being too big"

[candid solar]

Steps to understanding Halo properly

• Watch a Youtube video by a Halotuber
• Realize Halotubers are idiots and/or grifters who want your nostalgia watches
• Never watch a Halotuber again

[faint mantle]

Ooof... At this point I'd take it to the buildapc discord server.

[muted rose]

I do like a good cherry shake myself

[oblique quail]

Bungie cares more about putting Numbers or letters next to the word Latino lol

[faint mantle]

"3" "Latino "Players"... Did I do it right?

[hard crane]

Funny thing about holotubers: 99% of them I've heard about or seen either play horribly, highly manipulate their footage for fake fame or a nostalgia googles addict on steroids

[faint mantle]

Never meet your heroes

[hasty zinc]

oh is this what we're doing again today

[bronze breach]

Will do. Though I didnt build this PC myself. It was from scan labs. For halo infinite sake I tried to update the drivers.

Hard lesson learnt haha

[hard crane]

I pity the fool who chose halotubers for heroes

[faint mantle]

The people over there are better qualified to help

[bronze breach]

Awesome! Will do.

[hard crane]

Good luck Morb

[bronze breach]

I'll ask 24 hrs. For some reason PC is randomly rebooting. So all this time it could be updating lol

[faint mantle]

It ain't

Just go now dude

[bronze breach]

In the build discord. Assuming it's not what I think it is

Ok ok!

[candid solar]

Autocorrect strikes again

[obsidian wyvern]

haven't really seen anything I dislike about ubernick for the big YouTubers

people say he's too merry lol which fair, but it's needed sometimes

[pulsar cobalt]

That's usually a ram issue

[short swallow]

HiddenXperia or Installation 00 are where you wanna be for any lore. Like...

Detailed.

[torn bison]

You guys can hate me for saying this I am aware that bungie is not as good as nowadays my stance as why I think halo isn't the way as it is used to be before you guys a lot of new players cannot handle this as a fact halo will never be good as it was back then like take a look at 343 they care more about microtransactions and customization and 343 has this idea that halo is competitive ask any OG players about halo you will know halo is not a game just to be competitive sure there is competitive but mostly its about the community and its players I remember back in the halo 3 days everything was unlocked as you play throught the mutiplayer unlike modern gaming of course its not 343's alone fault because every multiplayer game nowadays does this only focusing on esports and competiveness and no causal it's a harsh reality but halo is never going to be what it was back then

[pulsar cobalt]

For lore just go on halopedia

[smoky token]

Holy mother of run-on sentences

[faint mantle]

Commas man... Use them...

[obsidian wyvern]

BRO IS THAT ONE SENTENCE

[hard crane]

I read it as "too marry" for some reason and for a sec I was like "wait why would halo fans would be against someone married" but I remembered we're talking about the same people who dislike that John-Makee scene because now they can't relate to Master Chief

[steady jolt]

I think he talked about this before, it's something like - the negativity is just draining, so he prefers to just focus on the things he enjoys. Still gives fair criticism, his feedback is generally pretty solid

[hard crane]

I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart that after further consideration I will not read this wall of china

Thank you

[short swallow]

You gotta also take blame for what type of people's Halo content you make popular, to which people will see Halo.

[obsidian wyvern]

yep that's exactly what he said

why would he makes content on stuff he dislikes, that makes no sense

[hexed geyser]

You Guys need to stop living in the Past With The "Bungie & Halo" Stuff

[short swallow]

If you put money into microtransactions, thank you for keeping the franchise alive. It's free to play, because your money makes it so.

First of don't be xenophobic second of all I'm not from china I'm from singapore thank you

[obsidian wyvern]

what

I don't think he said wall of china because of where you're from

[muted rose]

I don’t think it was meant that way

[short swallow]

Halo is in our hands though. Y'all are building maps, adding more content & making it beautiful. Then you got, whatever you see that YOU feel isn't what Halo should be.

[hard crane]

Bruh I was comparing your TED lecture to the great wall of China

Please stop playing and go do some homework for tomorrow thanks

[torn bison]

I misunderstood apologies

[nocturne locust]

Thank you

[hard crane]

No idea but the reward is Vannak's helmet

[bronze breach]

I do feel infinite could do with Gears 5 approach.

Alongside credits, introduce a in game currency earnable from gameplay alone.

In game currency can buy shop cosmetics like with credits.

But the currency would have a very high cost equivalent to the credits

[obsidian wyvern]

man this game has put me into FFA matches with people who have 17 kills already

22 this game, sick

[green tinsel]

playing Halo: Combat Evolved right now after playing reach and I hella prefer reach

[hard crane]

quick exp m8

[short swallow]

Like Rainbow Six Vegas 2, even if you couldn't play online, you can unlock cosmetics

That game has servers still up too

[bronze breach]

Yeah

[pulsar cobalt]

I think the way Red dead 2 does it with it's gold could work

[short swallow]

Gears...I dunno what happened there. I thought 3 was it, then they went a weird route & then just retold the same story. Just, made the enemies like, different & added old ones

[pure meteor]

Oh man. Speaking of gears of War, I'm curious about gears 6

[short swallow]

Although, you saw an even darker side of the COG, but I couldn't quite grip the Kate thing, but like Noobified, I'm curious to see how long this goes

[bronze breach]

Yeah the enemy is pretty much the same. Lore wise, I wish they was explained as ancient dormant species beneath the planet surface

Awakened by the countermeasure weapon

[green tinsel]

What are yalls thoughts on Halo: Combat Evolved?

[short swallow]

Dormant species? There's another one x.x

[pure meteor]

The Swarm

[short swallow]

Oh. Yeah, no

[sturdy frost]

Halo Infinite. Is it better with Xbox controller or Keybard+Mouse?

[short swallow]

The lambent were terrifying

[torn bison]

One of the best games ever it's the game that set the gold standard for fps games back then in 2001

[green tinsel]

I prefer reach

[faint mantle]

FYI, you gotta wait for the current troubleshooting topic to die down before you can get people's attention. Think of it of a turn-based service with no turns given.

[pure meteor]

By the by, the lambent are way different than the flood

[hard crane]

With whatever you're more comfortable with

[sturdy frost]

ok thanks

[green tinsel]

I can play halo with controller and keyboard and mouse

Because I play infinite on xbox and then the campaigns on pc

[frosty plume]

yall is halo CE anniversary that bad or is it overhated

[torn bison]

Halo just feels better on the controller in my personal opinion don't hate on me

[green tinsel]

yes its bad

[frosty plume]

OK, well i have a copy of it and also a copy of CE coming in so i'll be able to compare lol

[bronze breach]

Ahh I see. Thanks,!

[green tinsel]

You not got MCC?

[obsidian wyvern]

halo infinite feels better on kbm to me

and I've barely used it

[frosty plume]

no, i'm playing on OG hardware lmao

[green tinsel]

ah

[frosty plume]

it does, kb/m will always be better but i prefer controller 9/10 times

[torn bison]

The original graphics of CE of Jenkins camera is much scarier than the anniversary version imo it was darker in the original graphics and the introduction of the flood is scarier on the original graphics

[pulsar cobalt]

Halo feels real nice on KBM

[obsidian wyvern]

I just started using it again the other day and it did feel pretty nice. just have some binds I need to figure out

I would've liked my equipment and interact to have both been E

[frosty plume]

i'm not much of a fan of it personally

(again kbm is just objectively better but enjoyability wise i like controller more lol)

[torn bison]

You guys should check out the Real life sized of flood you can find it on Google the real sized of an infection form it's truly terrifying

Infection form looks like small things in game but the real size replica is horrifying

[obsidian wyvern]

ok but are you shorter than a grunt 😁

[torn bison]

Grunts are pretty huge in real life sized too

You can search it up on google it seems small because chief is huge

[obsidian wyvern]

they're 5'6 max

[torn bison]

Elites are like 3 times of a human

Hunters are 6 times

Pretty terrifying if you encounter a elite in real life

[hexed geyser]

I knew Halo 2 was The Melee of Halo

[torn bison]

Except for brutes LOL it would take a long time to kill a brute with melee with a normal weapon other than the sword and fuel rod

[hexed geyser]

i mean the Most Competitve one

[thorny bough]

I'm taller by an inch I got this muahahaha

[torn bison]

Sometimes don't you guys feel bad when fighting grunts like they are just like small kids running around

[hexed geyser]

i'm 6'4

[thorny bough]

🥹 yesssss

[hexed geyser]

not making a Nintendo joke i Really am 6'4

[thorny bough]

Then boom, pow, right in the kisser

[molten pelican]

no

[steady jolt]

Not that tall, they're about 7½ to 8½ ft tall
Hunters are around 12 to 13ft

[thorny bough]

🤓

[torn bison]

If you get into a fight with a elite irl would you win?

[molten pelican]

yes

[hexed geyser]

idk

[torn bison]

Emp their shields and kill them

[thorny bough]

I'd home alone the crap out of my place but yes, I'd take them out 💅

[torn bison]

Elites will be damn terrifying irl I think

[molten pelican]

will be?

[torn bison]

They would grab you and slice you with their sword in a matter of seconds

[hexed geyser]

i would use a Bird as a Rifle like a certian bear on that elite (not Trench)

[candid solar]

They both, though this is more a Hidden problem, tend to apply headcanon (Which is a fool's gambit) where it shouldn't be and have enough pull that it can actually make people mad when it turns out he was wrong.

Not mad at Hidden, mind, but at 343i. For... Some reason.

[torn bison]

Or alternatively you can say wort wort wort to let them know you are friendly gain their trust before killing them when unnoticed still pretty hard though

[candid solar]

They've both also gotten flak for poor research.

[torn bison]

Or hug him like how johnson hug that elite at the end in halo ce

[hexed geyser]

Imagine if halo 2 Had Platforming Sections

would that make sense

[faint mantle]

I got to recreate my Eaglestrike Spartan on Starfield

Everything's there except the coating

[torn bison]

Kinda look like a clone trooper from star wars

The helmet resembles

[hexed geyser]

I always wonder if Halo is A Platformer & a FPS at the same time

[smoky token]

It's an Arena Shooter

[hexed geyser]

oh

[smoky token]

So apparently "Titan" isn't allowed as a playstation network name

[obsidian wyvern]

woah

mods?

[smoky token]

anyone got any suggestions?

Aspen____

[obsidian wyvern]

lol what

[steady jolt]

Tyetan

[smoky token]

I'm guessing it has something to do with the first 3 letters

[hexed geyser]

AspenSpartan

[smoky token]

thank you AcSiegeMaster

[obsidian wyvern]

dinf

[steady jolt]

Tietan?
Taitan
Thaitan

[candid tusk]

Tibetan!

[smoky token]

idk i dont want it to just be a misspelling of titan

ive had that name since I was like... 7 or 8

[steady jolt]

Just drop all the vowels like me

[candid tusk]

Go with AspenDoubleQuarterPounder

[steady jolt]

Ttn

[molten pelican]

2021 was a while ago

[smoky token]

Then it almost sounds like a ttv name

[candid tusk]

And we certainly don't want one of those.

[hard crane]

Can you do T1TAN?

[smoky token]

Not allowed and not available, huh?

[obsidian wyvern]

tάɪtn

had to search up the ost to get that

[molten pelican]

spork?

[obsidian wyvern]

Sony is more strict than you guys, oof

[smoky token]

[obsidian wyvern]

[obsidian wyvern]

[smoky token]

https://tenor.com/view/aspen-trees-birds-gif-13203982

[obsidian wyvern]

oh right LOL
I forgot

[smoky token]

very ubiquitous in the northeastern united states

[hard crane]

Then go for "AspenTheTreetan"

[hexed geyser]

Aspen the Troton

like bird trot

[smoky token]

No offence but you're guys names kinda suck lmao

[hard crane]

Blame Sony 😢

[smoky token]

real

[molten pelican]

spork is a very efficient name

[hard crane]

Are you suggesting Aspen should steal your name?

[smoky token]

I'm a professional identity thief

[short swallow]

I had no clue of any of that, I just like them for lore purposes or to relearn about infantry, all of that though, I dunno

[molten pelican]

identity theft is not a joke jim, millions of families suffer every year

[smoky token]

Damn I hope I'm able to play the game, I heard they are having server capacity issues

[hard crane]

Identify theft is not a joke, Jim
Millions of people suffer from it every day

[hexed geyser]

AspenColousus

[hard crane]

OH COME ON

[smoky token]

I actually considered that one (albeit spelled correctly)

[hard crane]

I literally built that joke and you just stole it Spork

Just for that I'm gonna do the worst thing I can imagine

[smoky token]

oh come on

[hard crane]

I'm gonna open a twitter account with your name and pic @molten pelican

[hard crane]

At least it's not the actual game💀

[smoky token]

it is.

lol

its both

[hard crane]

Oh.

[molten pelican]

while you are at it please post about controversial topics for me

[smoky token]

servers are at max capacity i think

[hard crane]

I'll absolutely will

[smoky token]

WAIT IM IN

[molten pelican]

🥳

[hard crane]

Again??? Jesus Christ what's going on there

[indigo temple]

Who's jim

[hard crane]

This is why I'm holding back on buying Helldivers for now

[steep shard]

What's helldivers?

[hexed geyser]

Shimp on An Oreo? no

[hard crane]

Jail
Someone take this one to jail rn

[smoky token]

Starship Troopers but if it was good

[steep shard]

Pff

[indigo temple]

Nah, no way, Bruh fr? nah bruh, nah, no way Bruhhhh?

[steady jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/why-guy-ryan-reynolds-free-guy-what-for-gif-22851668

[hard crane]

You just made the 9 and half Starship Troopers fans very sad

[cloud salmon]

You have good taste buddy

[regal chasm]

I'd probably be mad If I did watch that movie.

[muted rose]

Horror, pure unadulterated horror

[indigo temple]

Wait, what's wrong with starship troopers

It literally has clancy brown in it

The guy who can make anything great

[molten pelican]

nice

[cinder fulcrum]

they’ve raised the server caps by like 350k i think

it’s just absurdly popular

[hard crane]

Clearly not enough, poor folks are DJ Khaled

[cinder fulcrum]

yeah it’s not

for anyone here who cares about hd2

there's a twitch drop for the master chief armor piece

[steep shard]

Wait fr?

[hard crane]

For the what

[indigo temple]

hd2?

what's that?

[steep shard]

Helldivers 2

[indigo temple]

oh

[hard crane]

I'm gonna have to change this than

[steep shard]

That looks dope.....

[muted rose]

Hazmat if it was a good core

[steep shard]

Wish I had the game now

[indigo temple]

Knockoff mister chef

[steep shard]

Is it on xbox?

[hasty zinc]

PS5 and PC

[steep shard]

Bruh

[hard crane]

Sony didn't wanna miss again after Palworld

Oh wait, it's their game

[steep shard]

Will it come out on xbox or is it exclusive to those?

Oh

[indigo temple]

I swear the only reason that e><ists is because the devs got distracted playing HL2 and thought Mr Freeman was a cool character

[candid tusk]

They capped at 450k concurrent as that's what their progression services can currently handle smoothly. The game is incredible though, so once you do get a chance to dive in, it's worth the wait.

[steep shard]

When does the spirit of fire pass end?

[indigo temple]

3rd of march I think

[candid tusk]

If you buy it it never ends.

[indigo temple]

In about 15 days

[steep shard]

15 days? Cool

[indigo temple]

Too much time in my opinion

Already 3 quarters through it

[steep shard]

Yeah ik
I already completed it lol, bored because I want something else to complete

[indigo temple]

and I only recently picked the game back up a couple days ago

[candid tusk]

Complete a sick no-scope montage.

[steep shard]

I've only completed heros of reach, winter update, and spirit of fire

What pass should I buy now?

[indigo temple]

They should have made it 30-40 tiers long

[steep shard]

Agreed

[indigo temple]

Lone wolves is a good starting one

[cinder fulcrum]

should i get heroes of erach

[indigo temple]

Ig, I never completed it because it was back when completing a tier actually took some effort

[steep shard]

What pass has the most reach armor in it...other than the one I've competed

Ones*

[indigo temple]

Anything with the word reach in it

[cinder fulcrum]

isn't it all in heroes unless you count shop stuff

[steep shard]

No

[indigo temple]

there are two reach passes

[cinder fulcrum]

there are?

[steep shard]

Ik rekoning has the reach EOD, there is also the winter update pass but I'm not sure what else

[cinder fulcrum]

what's the other one

[indigo temple]

Yeah, the 1st season pass and then the season 3? it think? update pass

[steep shard]

JFO was in an event sonincant really get that anymore

So I cant*

[indigo temple]

Oh yeah, winter update pass

[green tinsel]

does anyone else do this on the campaigns where when they need ammo they kill the friendly soldiers

[covert dove]

Despicable

[candid solar]

No, that's messed up.

[green tinsel]

I personally just throw grenades at em

[indigo temple]

That's what everybody does and has done for the entire series

[candid solar]

Nah.

[steep shard]

Hate how hazop is a shop thing. I used the hazop shoulders when I played reach on my 360 years ago so I can't really complete my look unless i shell out money

[covert dove]

Speak for yourself

[indigo temple]

Well... mostly for their weapons

[steep shard]

I never purposely kill the marines

[candid solar]

It helps when you already know about the secret free reloads they give.

[covert dove]

I used to restart checkpoints over and over to save marines, especially ODSTs lol

[green tinsel]

Personally I feel thats why they added the marines so when you need ammo you just kill them

[candid solar]

No?

[steep shard]

Bruh

[candid solar]

That's literally not the reason in any way, shape or form. They're there to help you and have companionship.

[indigo temple]

I don't think they're that useless

[cinder fulcrum]

bruh

[green tinsel]

I kill all but 1 marine when I need ammo and theres no too many hostiles

[indigo temple]

Isn't that why we have cortana

oh wait, she's dead

[steep shard]

Lol

[candid solar]

No, she got replacement goldfished.

[green tinsel]

I leave 1 marine alive so that he can see what I've done

[indigo temple]

I refuse to call that thing cortana

[candid solar]

Well, good, because it's not Weapon's name.

[hard crane]

You're a sick, sick person

[steep shard]

It's the weapon

[green tinsel]

No I'm fine

[steep shard]

100%

[hard crane]

Someone take his Spartaning license

[indigo temple]

Karma police, arrest this man

[green tinsel]

I intentionally attach grenades to marines so when they going running at hostiles they kill themselves + the hostiles

[cinder fulcrum]

????????????

[green tinsel]

sometimes works

[hard crane]

Ok now you're just making stuff up for the fake provoking

[steep shard]

You're cruel

[green tinsel]

I WILL RECORD IT

letme find a place in the halo CE campaign I can do it

[hard crane]

Great, supply me proofs when I'll go get the cops

[steep shard]

Keep this dude away from any and all weapons

[hard crane]

You're a disgrace to all and any Spartans

[indigo temple]

But the master chief needs a weapon

[green tinsel]

anyone wanna play halo CE with me?

[hard crane]

This ain't the Master Chief

I refuse to accept it

[indigo temple]

We all do

[hard crane]

He's playing Jimmy Rings afaik

[lilac rose]

Wort wort wort

[steep shard]

Lol

[fickle drift]

Greetingss

[muted rose]

The guy from circular object show

[indigo temple]

Even me, the dude with the avatar of a drunk smoking fool with a gun pointed at his head plays as the master chief

[steep shard]

I dont

[lilac rose]

It's 2007 and you just got a 360 and halo 3

[hard crane]

In 2007 I got a Nintendo Wii and busted my brother in Wii Sports Tennis

[fickle drift]

🫠

[green tinsel]

dusk check dms

[indigo temple]

AWUUUUUUBADUGH

[fickle drift]

I first played Halo in 2013

[lilac rose]

It was wii sport and halo 3

[hard crane]

If you sent me footage of exploding marine soldiers I swear

[steep shard]

My first halo game was reach in 2012, I was like...9

[green tinsel]

yeah dont share tho I left my gamertag in it

[cinder fulcrum]

if i buy a battlepass will it give me enough currency to buy another

[hard crane]

HE ACTUALLY DID IT

[steep shard]

Heros of reach doesn't give credits

[hard crane]

Yeah, but not the S1 pass

[cinder fulcrum]

lame

that’s the best one

[fickle drift]

I was 8

[steep shard]

Fr

[fickle drift]

My mom got me Halo 4 and Reach on Valentines Day

[steep shard]

Oh nice

[fickle drift]

I recall Halo 3 being my 1st halo game but it was scratched up so me and my friend never got to experience it.

I put toothpaste on it lmao

[steep shard]

Bruuuh

[fickle drift]

Didn’t work and was worse

I watched a video of it and was so pissed

[green tinsel]

@hard crane Do you think I need anymore free ammo

[cinder fulcrum]

man

remember that halo arcade game

[lilac rose]

Imo halo fell off after halo reach am I right?

[cinder fulcrum]

halo wars is peak

[lilac rose]

Halo wars were both good. Need a 3rd to complete the trilogy

[steep shard]

Fire team raven, I've played jt

[hard crane]

War criminal 😂

[steep shard]

It*

[green tinsel]

should I edit the video and stick it in show and tell

[hard crane]

Idc

[fickle drift]

Honestly I wish Halo Infinite had a system similar to Reach’s. You’d get credits similar to HR. I’m not a big fan of seasons.

[fickle drift]

Very fun

[steep shard]

I don't mind seasons but I wish there was a way to actually earn credits that don't require buying a pass

[fickle drift]

Indeed

[fickle drift]

Fair 👍

[stiff fern]

Is there anywhere I can send a picture on this server

[fickle drift]

If y’all were to name the sequel of Halo Infinite what would it be

[fickle drift]

Not that I know of.

[stiff fern]

Halo 7

I like the numbers

[cinder fulcrum]

halo unlimited

[indigo flint]

reach was bad so no

[livid oyster]

Halo finite

[indigo flint]

numbers makes it easier for new players to understand what to go from so I'd just return to 7

[cinder fulcrum]

halo immeasurable

[stiff fern]

You are crazy

[obsidian wyvern]

nah reach was bad 😤

[livid oyster]

If we go by the population. Halo fell off after 3

[stiff fern]

🤷‍♂️ I disagree very strongly

[fickle drift]

Fair but I would probably name it Halo: Resilient, and the motto being “Let there be hope.”

[fickle drift]

Cap

I respect your opinion but L

[green tinsel]

Just run outa ammo time to kill some marines

[fickle drift]

The plot being Chief and the group fighting off the banished.

Chief, Fernando, and Cortana find Lasky and Palmer, with a few other marines. They later meet Jerome and the other spartans teaming up to beat the Banished.

[green tinsel]

why not make it in forge?

[cosmic urchin]

Wtf are you talking about

[obsidian wyvern]

I said what I said

[cosmic urchin]

Reach was gorgeous

[charred brook]

The spirit of fire should stay on the ark and keep fighting the remaining banished and covenant. There’s still hope for a Halo Wars 3.
Instillation 00 also made some awesome videos about what the story could have been

[cosmic urchin]

If Halo made more campaigns like reach it would be so good

[lilac rose]

I loved reach tbh

[lilac rose]

ODST was ok not my favourite personally

[cosmic urchin]

I loved it

It felt like real war

Without shields or armor

[lilac rose]

Halo wars though the cutscenes made the game and it was fun. Loved the brutes and hope we get to see more of them. Halo infinite story was amazing but its just a one play through and done I found

[cosmic urchin]

Infinite is awesome

Campaign is awesome and multiplayer is great

[lilac rose]

I play the mcc for multilayer still. Mainly customs now

My time was halo 3 for multi

[cosmic urchin]

I have mcc but don’t play it’s multiplayer

I mostly bought it because of the campaigns🔥

[lilac rose]

Still waiting for flood to come back

[cosmic urchin]

It just if 343 added flood in the next campaign it wouldn’t made sense with all of this endless stuff

[fickle drift]

I liked ODST

[cosmic urchin]

Me too it felt like real war

[fickle drift]

It had a very realistic view on soldiers. They weren’t perfect like Spartans and it gave a real impression of what a Soldier experiences.

It also had a good soundtrack that I totally do not listen to fall asleep.

Yeah real soldier experiences like dropping from space, carrying the top of a mounted machine gun with ease, or punching a tank to death.

[cosmic urchin]

Yeah soldier experiences are just the best that is why I think COD is well a big hit (sadly)

But Halo is better

A lot better

[fickle drift]

I don’t think you understood what I meant. The vibes you get from the soundtrack, you being alone surrounded by many enemies is like symbolic to PTSD.

[hexed geyser]

Johnny-117

the best Spartan out there

[cosmic urchin]

Oh 😥 sorry

[fickle drift]

I meant to reply to H8 mb if I replied to you lol

[cosmic urchin]

Okay hahahahahah

[fickle drift]

I mean the game has a great atmosphere and the story is told well imo, I just wouldn’t have worded it as ‘true to soldier’s experiences’ as a point of realism beyond purely allegorical.

Oh ok

ODST’s probably my favorite of the franchise, but the whole ‘levelled down’ experience you’re meant to get from being a trooper instead of a Spartan is hindered somewhat due to mechanics retained from H3.

[restive vault]

spi odst 🙂

[fickle drift]

And I get why they were kept because the game is more fun when you can still rip off turrets and melee wraiths to death but like, isn’t helping the concept lol.

[restive vault]

odst wrench

[cosmic urchin]

Being an ODST is fun

[restive vault]

but ya it wouldve been hard to committ to the true odst experience and follow the rookie. maybe it wouldve worked better following a "battalion" (forgor what the big groups of them are called) of odst instead of jsut a squad

[restive vault]

or they couldve done a "doom 3" (not horror just meaning the tonal shift) and really lean into the stealth part

[fickle drift]

is the winter update battle pass free in infinite

[buoyant musk]

How does show and tell work ,for screenshots can i just copy the link for my screenshot and send it

[fickle drift]

I would love to play an odst horror game with the flood

[charred brook]

Honestly after seeing Hell Divers I really want an ODST game based off that

[cosmic urchin]

Ah yes that would be amazing

[fickle drift]

Agreed. Is it fun?

[charred brook]

Haven’t played it. Just seen a tone of clips on Tiktok

[fickle drift]

Same.

[smoky token]

I'm playing it right now

[fickle drift]

Mostly YT

[smoky token]

this game is a HUGE time waster

I'm barely noticing the hours go by

[fickle drift]

Is that good or bad?

[obsidian wyvern]

yes
and yes @buoyant musk

[obsidian wyvern]

good

[molten pelican]

*chain of replies learning that there was a pitch for a halo Helldivers type game

[fickle drift]

is season 2 good or bad, i havent watched it yet

[lilac rose]

Better than one that's for sure

[obsidian wyvern]

lowww bar

I have not watched S2 to comment yet

[lilac rose]

I'm enjoying it so far. I didn't mind 1 either though

Anything can happen in 6 episodes though

[restive vault]

i just will never get why writers like to make their own twist on things that are already established

like just following silver team probably wouldve been recieved far better than master cheek

but the s2 action scenes are decent at least

[umbral sentinel]

aw man i cant send images

[fickle drift]

skill issue

[round sierra]

Anyone want to join in on some BTB?

[umbral sentinel]

is it actually?

[restive vault]

gotta get those discord levels

[umbral sentinel]

do you have to unlock sending images here

[restive vault]

ya

[umbral sentinel]

drat

[lilac rose]

See what they do with the fallout series

[fickle drift]

i want to unlock images sending to send pictures of cortanas toes

I liked the 1st and 3rd episode of S2

But it’s okay ig.

[molten pelican]

this is why we cant have nice things

[fickle drift]

what is wrong with admiring the talents of the devs work

someone had to sit and make those toes

[round sierra]

hop in btb chat ❤️

Just heard some bad news…

“Microsoft Executives shot down 20-30 Halo game ideas pitched by 343 Industries in the last 12 years.”

“Many single player ODST themed ones, multiplayers, some spanning galaxies, some more grounded and even one that was really really dark…”

Source: MintBlitz

its ok you can make yourself feel better by imagining these awesome sounding games would have launched in the same state as infinite did

[restive vault]

were the reasons provided?

[fickle drift]

Nope

[restive vault]

exec had no faith in 343 is my headcanon

[fickle drift]

But idk why they’d shut the ideas down, that could get them millions of dollars.

[fickle drift]

I was too harsh on 343.

[restive vault]

idk if thats possible

[fickle drift]

i dont like mint

he went from just making cool videos to thinking he is more important and gives bad takes

[obsidian wyvern]

I laughed when the dude said this but I think it was actually confirmed

I know David Ellis was somewhere in that thread

[balmy tundra]

its not even super suprising, pitches being shot down is the industry working as normal

see that's a source

[cedar turret]

I watched the source. It wasn't a good movie.

[fickle drift]

It was meant to be funny

[obsidian wyvern]

where are you my Halo:Starfighter TM

it didn't make it ^ 🙁

[fickle drift]

Just had to do it lmaoo

@AndrewP67162156 @kolbepayne @Arrrrash Oh boy, how I wish I could answer this. lol

[obsidian wyvern]

the original tweet that started this got deleted for some reason

ok well the above is the reason lol

[tight remnant]

All the possibilities that halo could be

[fickle drift]

I would have loved to seen a Halo-based video game in space, got me interested since Reach.

[tight remnant]

Halo has so much untapped potential, and missed potential

[fickle drift]

I wanna see halo in the hands of someone not microsoft, they have fumbled too much

[tight remnant]

It kinda makes me sad to think about all that halo could have been and infinite too, just thought about the season cuts and before that the story being cut, especially when it was getting interesting

[pulsar cobalt]

I wish they stuck with the story

[restive vault]

ms is just the wallet

[fickle drift]

Playstation maybe? Personally after Helljumpers 2 that’s what got me interested.

[tight remnant]

helljumpers

[fickle drift]

ps have some really good devs behind them

[fickle drift]

I get confused, lol.

[tight remnant]

The halo books are doing really good, especially the upcoming one

[fickle drift]

halo needs to become like the star wars games where different studios pumped out their own version of it

I’m fine with 343

[tight remnant]

But we only get so many per year

We definitely need more halo stuff and the staff at 343 needs to be bigger to handle things

[fickle drift]

they're not enough, even with them working on 1 game, but the time it does come out it has issues

[tight remnant]

And 343 to partner with other studio sto make more projects

Still want it to stay true to halo and quality

but the ammount of projects there can be

Halo as a setting is just amazing and it can help tell some really grounded stories and explore a lot of themes and things and corners of the universe

You got so much in it

[restive vault]

halo 7 should just be halo: gmod

forge cranked to 11

its clear audience appeasment gets inthe way

[fickle drift]

gmod2 would shadow it

[restive vault]

gmod2 release janutober

[fickle drift]

i think its s&box on going project, seem to be doing well

[tight remnant]

Which is why I didn't like when the show people said that they needed to change things and deviate from canon to fit tv show. Because halo has such a rich universe, enough to tell so many stories in it. Look at the ammount of novels there are, and so many threads in the halo tapestry.

[restive vault]

idk why ms gives halo to people who expressly want to change halo

but alas

[lilac rose]

Halo 1-3 goat trilogy

[tight remnant]

I'd really like a show in a similar vein to the stories of the ace of spade crew

[tight remnant]

?

[fickle drift]

coz they think you need to do something big and bold for your game to do good, so they have all these big ideas, fail to execute them properly, and people dont like it

[tight remnant]

Sometimes they need to stick with the ideas they started

[restive vault]

half of paramount didnt play halo
343 leadership at the onset of the reclaimer saga wanted to make halo more streamlined to appeal to broader audiences; cant find the source at this exact moment but i swear on the bible right hand up

[tight remnant]

Spartan ops, dont cut it but improve it, learn from season 1

[tight remnant]

You should try to make sure you get things more accurate because theres innacuracies in what you say

[restive vault]

i believe it thats the era

[tight remnant]

warzone, really great, it was popular but it didnt come back

[restive vault]

warzone wasnt h4 and i did like warzone

[tight remnant]

explore the created more, stick to it. make it good, make it interersting, don't simply have it be offscreen from one game to the next

Not about soft reboots and restarting every time. Plant the stake on the ground, and improve things and keep going the direction but with learnings, rather than having to try out something else over and over and over and over again and not finishing it

[maiden creek]

Sorry for intruding but whats a good halo book to start with?

[tight remnant]

The fall of reach

[maiden creek]

Amazon selling it?

[tight remnant]

Yes

[restive vault]

fall of reach and contact harvest goat

[tight remnant]

Fall of reach is like the entry point

[maiden creek]

Thanks

[tight remnant]

IT sets uo the universe well

[restive vault]

i agree with that its really unsatisfying to replay the reclaimer saga and have so many disparate factions

[cinder fulcrum]

😞

[tight remnant]

I like having many factions

[restive vault]

disparate 🔑

[cinder fulcrum]

tbh it should have been a bunch of random factions

it's a world post-galactic war where one side completely collapsed and the other was almost completely conquered

[tight remnant]

Destroyed not conquered

[cinder fulcrum]

yeah destroyed

[tight remnant]

Another good thing we have right now are the waypoint chronicles

[fickle drift]

maybe they should just sell books, give the games a rest for a couple years, come back with a reboot

[tight remnant]

I shall quote myself

[foggy kernel]

ranked doubles or arena diamond lobby

[obsidian wyvern]

didn't they recently stop this

[tight remnant]

Stop this? What do you mean? What made you think that?
They have a new one coming soon! I just hope we get them continiuously too over time because they're a great source of story

[hasty zinc]

you might be thinking of the Intel drops

[fickle drift]

did they replace intel drops with amd drops

[tight remnant]

Did they say they'd be stopping intel drops?

I guess without seasons they might have axes those too?

[normal owl]

not the AMD drops

[normal owl]

I didn't even see this before making my reply. I salute you.

[obsidian wyvern]

they said they're stopping one of the waypoint stories

it was probably intels

[fickle drift]

i hope

[tight remnant]

Aw

I get tired of the UE5 stuff

I wish the slipspace engine was something people could get ahold of like the UE5

[fickle drift]

UE5 demos look sick tho

from where

[tight remnant]

Rumors, unrealible stuff so

Still 😦 about the lack of seasons, just when infinite was getting a good cadence (minus the story)

[fickle drift]

i want something new, infinites name has been dragged through the mud so much people wont touch it anymore even if it was updated

well if its real I will buy

i do like me some og triology

[obsidian wyvern]

it's not.

[wraith vapor]

Screenshot my post 😉

[obsidian wyvern]

bet

[hasty zinc]

my buddy who used to doordash boba tea to a MSFT employee told me it was true

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll send it to mint blitz, he'll probably believe it

[wraith vapor]

Lol!

[chilly timber]

@fickle drift depression

[fickle drift]

hello strange person

[chilly timber]

hi

[fickle drift]

is your wallet ready for halo 3 on unreal engine 5

[candid solar]

It'll be untouched.

[fickle drift]

bobaluga personally confirmed it (his uncle is bill gates)

[chilly timber]

u seem nice i'd like to introduce u to halo and lotr and we could play together

[fickle drift]

would you rather play infinite or the gollum game

💩

[grand minnow]

i wonder if the Vauntlock chest piece will eventually be available for the Mark IV core

[thorn wigeon]

[fickle drift]

last time i saw this dude i spartan lasered him in the eye ball and he screamed like a child before exploding

wait it just accoured to me

why is the dev of halo named after an evil deceitful robot

did they really have no other interesting charcters to choose from

they could have been called wort or elite toe

[tight remnant]

Last I saw spark he became friends with Sergeant Forge's daughter and had this great adventure of friendship and purpose. Even revisiting his past and finding a place.

[fickle drift]

is that the same floating ball in halo 3 that tried to kill everyone

[hexed geyser]

How Do Elites Eat?

[tight remnant]

With their mouths

[fickle drift]

what other animals irl have no bottom mouth

[hasty zinc]

they have a tongue too

[tight remnant]

343 guilty spark wasn't always a monitor. A long time ago, he was a living breathing human being. He went mad. He served his enemies. They became his only friends.

[fickle drift]

He killed my homie Johnson )):

[chilly timber]

sounds like the studio they went mad launching infinite with 3 playlists

[thorn wigeon]

What

[tight remnant]

More exageration

[fickle drift]

didnt they add halo 3 content to infinite

[fickle drift]

Guilty Spark

[covert dove]

[thorn wigeon]

Oh

[fickle drift]

smart way to try and get back players, slap halo 3 in the game

[glossy pine]

Keyboard 🙂

[chilly timber]

3 years too late

[glossy pine]

*: )

[thorn wigeon]

They are my "i don't know what to say but must post" fill in

[fickle drift]

i havent played it in a while

anytime a youtube video came in my feed or youtube shorts

it was someone saying it was bad or something didnt work

so i stopped searching for halo to clear my feed

[tight remnant]

It's better to get your own experience rather than to listen to click-baity youtubers

[obsidian wyvern]

mood

halo YouTube is no fun

[fickle drift]

im still scrolling down google images to find an animal or fish with no bottom mouth

some weird looking fish on here

[obsidian wyvern]

also 343 WHY

[tight remnant]

I want it

Oh nevermind

[chilly timber]

leslie i wish you went to the museum 😿

[muted rose]

Sturgeon

[tight remnant]

Where's the other unreleased one

[obsidian wyvern]

why the random orange this is

wtf

[muted rose]

Oh you said without, nevermind

[tight remnant]

?

[fickle drift]

what can i say, i like water but never learnt to swim

[obsidian wyvern]

they had a good coating till they added the orange arm

[hasty zinc]

can't wait until didact coating

[muted rose]

Must have asymmetry 🤑

[obsidian wyvern]

10 days from now it releases iirc

[hasty zinc]

yep

[muted rose]

Asymmetry is fine but it throws off a lot of otherwise good coatings

[obsidian wyvern]

are you gonna finally read the book you've bought

[hasty zinc]

😬

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah :(

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[hasty zinc]

I've charged my tablet like 6 times

every time "I'm gonna read it"

then I don't and the battery drains over the months

rinse and repeat

[fickle drift]

i found a fish with human teeth that looks like a victorian british eprson

[obsidian wyvern]

hard copy ftw
minus delivery time

[hasty zinc]

I'm charging my tablet now

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll buy it with my Google play credit and tell you the important stuff

[hasty zinc]

oh I'll read epitaph

the others at some point

[muted ruin]

HALO

[fickle drift]

i dont agree with this statement, halo 4 is bad

[muted ruin]

halo

[fickle drift]

oh

[muted ruin]

master cheif

[fickle drift]

does master chief have a built in shower

wouldnt his body get all dirty and sweaty then get infections

[muted ruin]

I dont think so, also his suit is the strongest

its mark six armor

[chilly timber]

always wondered how he pee's

[fickle drift]

pee would jsut come out his shoe i think

on some poor grunts face

[cosmic urchin]

the Urine is recycled as energy for the suit as well as💩

[thorn wigeon]

It's a skin tight suit, there is no space for filth and he's augmented so sweating probably not a common problem

[fickle drift]

imagine how op master chief would be if you put irons mans arc reactor intergrated in his suit

[thorn wigeon]

I love it

[normal owl]

@viral dune This is your coating: The Arm of Hot OJ.

[obsidian wyvern]

how ones of these messages is still here is beyond me

[viral dune]

LETS GO

[normal owl]

I think I see which one you're talking about.

[obsidian wyvern]

I kinda wanna see how long it lasts

[viral dune]

Now I need to save up so I can buy that coating

[obsidian wyvern]

you have to sell your soul to 343

[normal owl]

It's the only explanation for that orange juice-colored arm that's such a different color from the rest of the suit.

[viral dune]

Can't I already sold my soul to hot oj

[viral dune]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention

[shell forge]

where should I ask questions like "Is there a way to play halo 5 on pc"

[obsidian wyvern]

xcloud

[shell forge]

which is?
