[ocean herald]

This is horrible news

[fickle drift]

how do i get the sandbox skull on pc

whats the key to place a mine

[half belfry]

Opinion on the new map

[thorny bough]

😏

[fickle drift]

someone help pls

[gleaming oasis]

It is a good social map i suppose. I dont really like the dimensions to it. Its the first halo map i felt was big top to bottom but small frid side to side. Strange map. I like most of the huaky raid maps tho

[thorny bough]

[molten pelican]

hmmm

[molten pelican]

nah

[spare ferry]

We need a map that takes place in a Covenant or Banished ship, that’d be awesome

[fickle drift]

literally no key on my keyboard opens forge mode

[gleaming oasis]

Ive seen some really good forge maps on youtube. I think we will get some with the yappening

[proud olive]

Is the loading of the main menu always slow? Or is it cuz i just downloaded the game

(i downloaded infinite btw)

Why is my entire game filled with triangles with a “!” In the middle

im so confused i cant even play quick play

[wild forum]

Who is good in the subject mechanic dynamics rotation subject?

[floral pollen]

A legit M99A2S3 Stanchion

or the H4 railgun

[round laurel]

It's a first time thing. It'll do it again if you update drivers or change certain graphical settings.

[brittle cypress]

I have a whole bucket full of halo Lego

I said f ton and got a warning

😔

[proud olive]

I closed out the game and reopened and its still like that

it says that its “transitioning” in the top right corner

[round laurel]

VPN enabled?

[proud olive]

No

[round laurel]

Search #1075989764026675210 for a possible solution, if you don't find one, set up a thread and hopefully someone will get back to you.

[proud olive]

Ok thanks

[floral pollen]

I've noticed for me, especially with Driver updates, it'll slowly get faster over like 5 or 6 reboots or so, so its mostly just a time thing

[floral pollen]

I think that's just a glitch that can happen on a frech download/reinstall, I've had it happen a few times, as well as it repeating the [player name] is now Fireteam leader message

Also depends on your PC specs too

[fickle drift]

Lucky, I wish I still had my small collection.

[lean burrow]

When life gets you down, beating Mint Blitz at oddball (teamwork!) sure does rejuvenate the spirit

[pulsar cobalt]

343 finally mentioning the sandbox huh interesting if that's the case 343 needs to revert the disrupter back to it's original state

and hopefully some more new weapons

[jade walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/wait-that-thats-is-illegal-gif-18393263

oh, should've expected embedded gifs to not work on this server

[halcyon vale]

i love how creative and dynamic the last 2 new maps have been
low gravity and the invisibility hallway have been really fun
i hope new maps continue to do cool stuff like this

[dusty yacht]

We need playable elites fr 🙏

[pulsar cobalt]

We 100% do

[dusty yacht]

I was playing firefight and I didn't know about the update when I saw a elite on my team and I was all hyped thinking they added playable elites

[fervent gull]

How

[covert dove]

We need team slayer removed from squad battle 🙏🏽

[dusty yacht]

They added hunter,elite and marine teammates to firefight

[fervent gull]

Holy ...

I need to play again

[dusty yacht]

343 been actually cooking recently

Wit forge and allat

It actually feels like a halo game now

[last fractal]

Imagine if they just took another year and not ship out halo as a mobile game

[jade walrus]

me waiting for bot bootcamp to return because it's removal is "temporary" and it's a good grinding source

[gleaming oasis]

Yo that one map they added to huaky raid with the halo 1 feeling bridge is crazy. It has the covenant fighting on the other bridge next to it

[muted tangle]

yo guys got a question, so i was watching my brother play halo infinite campaign and i noticed this flashback scene where halsey is giving cortana to chief and they are meeting for the first time. This confused me cause didn't halsey give cortana to noble 6, noble 6 gave her to captain keyes, and then keyes give her to chief? so how did that scene happen?

[gleaming oasis]

I mean we know from halo 1 that chief and cortana have met before

So id assume prior to the fall of reach cortana and chief had met

[muted tangle]

how though

noble 6 had her

[jade walrus]

I need a better way to grind than husky raid, super fiesta, and firefight. I would do btb if there weren't enemies guarding the camping spots and other places near them.

[livid oyster]

What Halsey gave to Six was just a fragment with important information I believe

[muted tangle]

oh interesting ty

i thought it was just her lol since it chose him and stuff

[livid oyster]

That fragment may have still had a capacity to think and choose, but it just wasn’t Cortana entirely

[muted tangle]

gotcha

i should read up on the lore more

[livid oyster]

I believe the information that Cortana had was the coordinates of installation 04 which was the halo in CE. They didn’t know what was at those coordinates but it seemed important

[jade walrus]

also infection is barely any xp due to limited ammo and the ridiculous speed that the infected are

[muted tangle]

makes sense ty👍

also side note i feel like ever since halo 4 master chief talks way too much

[fervent gull]

More human, hes not a machine

[prisma sail]

I have 15 spartan points - can I spend them on practical things? Or is it just vanity stuff?

[pliant hatch]

in mcc, you use them to buy cosmetics in the seasonal stuff

[fervent gull]

Vanity stuff

[prisma sail]

ok ty

Ey I'm just making sure this isn't just my area but is anybody else having internet problems that are so bad that their Xbox is trying to restart itself to reconnect everything?

Soooo

I think I figured out the problem I called my internet provider broad link and they said that the reason why nobody's internet is working to this extent is because one of the big boxes that they used to help connect everyone's Wi-Fi in it certain areas has been torn to shreds by a raccoon, and I know it's a raccoon because they found it's well body

[pliant hatch]

yes

[thorny bough]

Yes

[hexed geyser]

it'll be Bro's Birthday Present But it'll be for me too

[spare ferry]

Absolutely

[cedar turret]

can it run doom?

[hexed geyser]

well it's from 2016 ish so yes

[spare ferry]

Imagine a Halo Wars game, but you can play or watch from the view of a soldier you deploy. Especially with recent RTS games graphics going up in quality, and it’d be a cool gameplay mechanic

[hexed geyser]

you mean like a mashup of normal halo & haloWars

[spare ferry]

Somewhat yes.

[ocean herald]

Extra butter no popcorn please

[spare ferry]

Like in TABS, you’re able too play as the soldier, or person you place down
Though it can just be a camera angle, doesn’t have to be a gameplay mechanic

With the large scale battles in Halo Wars, playing or looking through the eyes of a soldier would look awesome

[jade walrus]

everyone knows the answer to that I think, everything can run doom

[cedar turret]

I've got two cans and some string. Make it run doom.

[jade walrus]

you can run doom on paper if you take the time and effort to draw every frame

[left bone]

you can play war thunder on paper

[spare ferry]

Doom can run on Etch a sketch

[cedar turret]

that would require artisistic talent and they were out of that when I went to the grocery store

[jade walrus]

run doom on fruits

[cedar turret]

I've tried playing video games with lemons before, but the experience always left me sour.

[fickle drift]

Hey guys,during firefight the one with the vault,I got a red energy sword. Not a blood blade,but it was like a red corrupted energy sword. What’s the deal with it?

[molten sage]

need to get that map weighing under control for the next game is all i gotta say

[chrome rose]

-hmph,, crackers with cream cheese and halo reach, this is gonnna be an awesome night

[elfin glacier]

[still python]

@hearty phoenix would you like to come back?

[faint mantle]

Are there any stories of the original Halo Reach resetting someone's rank because all of its XP was earned offline?

(Specifically reaching Noble rank, connecting online, and losing everything)

[candid solar]

Yep, happened to me twice.

I was at Hero the first time, Warrant Officer the second time

[faint mantle]

Was a reason ever given?

[jade walrus]

Yeah, there’s just more of the old maps running on the servers

[candid solar]

Nope, just kinda... Did it.

[azure coyote]

Why do people not play Ranked Slayer??

I'm genuinely surprised people dont want to rank up in a dedicated slayer playlist.

[rare cedar]

I tried searchimg for 15 minutes and couldn't find a game

granted it wasn't peak NA hours

[pliant hatch]

generally you're going to have less people playing ranked and probly doesn't help that the game doesn't have a huge population and the majority are likely casual or pub stomper players.

[azure coyote]

I just got out of one on the new lockout map, was amazing playing slayer with no motion sensor and Bandit starts

[next fossil]

Running husky raid rn

[azure coyote]

I thought this game had a pretty huge population? I mean there's no other arena shooters.

[next fossil]

Who need that

[warm hill]

its low due to other games being out there

[pliant hatch]

that doesn't matter if you base that off of previous modern halo games. I wouldn't say huge, but I guess a lot for a modern halo game. It had around 6k players 30 mins. ago on pc and console would likely be similar.

[azure coyote]

where are you seeing the population number?

[pliant hatch]

steam charts

[azure coyote]

https://steamcharts.com/app/1240440 this?

this game only pulls 6700 as a peak in a 24 hour period?

[pliant hatch]

yes that, for pc players.

[fickle mica]

Hey, where does one go for some help? I can't actually log into the game on steam, just shows my email and then has "Something went wrong, We couldn't sign in with a passkey. Please try again."

[rare cedar]

Halo Support site is probably best

[fickle mica]

I looked at that before and didn't see any option for a live chat or anything

[raven beacon]

is this on the xbox/microsoft login after you open the game

[fickle mica]

Yeah

[raven beacon]

whatve you tried so far

[fickle mica]

Verifying the game files, not sure what else to do

[raven beacon]

"Open the Steam app
Select Steam and select Settings
Go to Web Browser
Select Delete Web browser cache
Select Ok to delete all files in the built-in web browser cache
Select Delete all browser cookies
Select Ok to clear all Steam browser cookie data
Launch Halo Infinite and check to see if the sign-in process has started from the beginning."

if its not your first time logging in try clearing steam cache

[fickle mica]

I don't have an option called web browser in my settings apparently

[azure coyote]

yeah but there's crossplay, so what's the xbox population?

[pliant hatch]

there isn't any public numbers for that, but I'd guess it's similar.

[azure coyote]

that sucks. you're right, Im not finding anything through google. It is listed in the top played Xbox live titles though, but there's no way to tell how many players. I know PC will always have a lower population because it's more popular on xbox

[raven beacon]

try fiddling around with your microsoft account

like changing the password n stuff

[fickle mica]

I can't even get into master chief collection

Time to find my old xbox 360 and halo 4 i guess

[raven beacon]

do you have the xbox app on pc

[fickle mica]

Yeah

[raven beacon]

are you signed in

[fickle mica]

Yep

[raven beacon]

try logging out and see if it lets you back in

[fickle mica]

I can get into mcc at least now

[raven beacon]

win

[fickle mica]

Trying infinite now, I did log out and log back in

Nice. This game is broken. I click sign in and it doesnt let me input a password or anything

[raven beacon]

surprising no one

[fickle mica]

Well i changed my email for my skype username of all things and it got me in

[next fossil]

Whose on husky raid ?

Lmk!

[raven beacon]

lol what

[fickle mica]

Anyway thanks for your help

[azure coyote]

well I've got 3 of 5 ranked slayer matches so far

takes a little while but I am getting matched.

[formal sinew]

Don't much care for the new battle pass

[azure coyote]

Sorry for the late reply but I’m so sorry you don’t have ur collection anymore 😦

[rapid pivot]

For someone who’s not a lore guy, is there a lore reason why the flood’s methods are different throughout the trilogy

Like, why they don’t infect bodies right away in CE but need to collect them

[cloud salmon]

Let’s goooooooo

[obsidian wyvern]

the banshee does not need a nerf though

[hearty phoenix]

not sure if anyone is awake, but i was wondering if anyone could help me setup my controller config; thank you i cant find the right sens, i heard a few people from the btb channel that some people here can help

[rare cedar]

It’s honestly user dependent. I like the low sens while my buddy is maxed out.

It’s best to use The Academy and use the different weapons on Level 3 where the bots strafe and crouch

[hearty phoenix]

yeah im aware, i got this new controller and the sensativity feels a lot higher and its throwing me off, struggling to get perfects with the bandit

and yeah thats how i warm up ^_^

[rare cedar]

I have the same problem with new controllers. They’re stiff so you gotta break em in

[hearty phoenix]

oohhh okay

well i'll play with it, thanks for the help!

[rare cedar]

Yep!

[hearty phoenix]

2.5 horizontal and 3,5 vertical seems good, with 5 accel

i think it just feels funky from the hall effect analog sticks

[rare cedar]

That’s so fast compared to mine 😂

[hearty phoenix]

i went down to 3 accel

couldnt hit my s7 shots lmao

[fathom pulsar]

Yo this guy was strafing crazy fast in Infinite, you can see it after the dodge. https://streamable.com/h47pmt
Does anyone know how to do this ?

[winter flame]

you desync so its hard to say anything about what ur seeing

you can see your own perspective just jolting left mid BR fight

and obvs he thinks he ruined you with that back thrust and doesnt know you got dudded by desync so he bags you

[hearty phoenix]

this is a networking issue

happens on btb

when they get unstable packet loss while strafing it seems to do that

[wild sleet]

What’s that one song y’all listen to when playing Halo

[winter flame]

the clack clack clack of my far too loud keyboard switches

i use to listen to music when i played MCC but something about Infinite makes me need to hear every footstep lol

[hearty phoenix]

I listen to anything

[winter flame]

maybe if i get more into BTB again I'll start listening to stuff

[hearty phoenix]

@cloud salmon

[lunar cobalt]

When do we get new network model this game is unplayable

[last fractal]

Halo 7

[winter flame]

you're desyncing from the server, his movement is your client correcting his position

he might also be desyncing (a lot of the time everyone desyncs from the server at the same time), but its possible its just on your end

[cloud salmon]

Yo wassup

[winter flame]

you can actually see what the server saw (and potentially what he saw) by watching it back in theatre

[normal owl]

Yea I clearly hit a player but it doesn’t register

[bleak crypt]

Continental ids-465-1a turbo Whistler Put this into YouTube and you’ll get some amazing result

[brittle beacon]

You know what, I'm tired of Halo hate, I'm tired of call of duty making 4 straight trash games and people still meat riding it, but when halo makes infinite it's dead? At least infinite is decent better than 5 that's for sure

[candid tusk]

Best thing to do for those things, if you really want to use the sites they're posting on for hate clicks, block the channel from being recommended, or click that you don't like the content recommendation.

[cloud salmon]

Yea exactly it makes no sense, plus infinite is wayyyy better than current cod

[hard crane]

Infinite is a good game and i'm tired of pretending it's not

[cloud salmon]

Exactly

[brittle beacon]

Let him cook

[fickle drift]

I mean infinite is a fantastic game and I’ve been playing since launch. I think the main criticism I have is that it takes ages to get major updates out like career rank and things like that but idk 🤷‍♂️

[brittle beacon]

That's fair, I'm definitely not calling it perfect per se, just that it is enjoyable enough to be undeserving of the hate it receives, especially from people who haven't even played it, and halo shouldn't be called dead because of it

[hard crane]

Infinite is a good game
but
i'm officially giving up on trying to make my Chimera look good 💀

[brittle beacon]

Yeah, my big complaint with halo is the customization prices, that and the just alright campaign, but those are rather small issues compared to what other modern games have

(the campaign issues would be fixed if they just added a weather cycle and different biomes)

[last fractal]

Master Chief mogging

[candid tusk]

Unfortunately, not going to happen. What's cool about Infinite's forge mode though, is that there are a few campaign mission type forge maps and modes people are making to scratch that itch. Some of them are even pretty good.

Halo infinite is now on life support

Here's the trailer https://youtu.be/aOAiUwz7Zt8

[hasty zinc]

we have so much fun playing, she is so good at it

[amber mirage]

I spent so much time playing this past season

[hasty zinc]

yo that is sick

I'll have to make sure it's updated on her xbox

[ocean herald]

did avatar skins get put in the shop recently?

i saw a screenshot of korra in the shop but i wasn't sure if that was recent

[hasty zinc]

I hope the train is still in this season

[amber mirage]

Korra's in the trailer. The new season's not out yet so she wouldn't have been in the shop.

[ocean herald]

i think my personal fav was the gun attachments in the last season

[wild sleet]

We need GoW3 Kratos

[ocean herald]

the ninja turtle weapons were a little annoying. the dash you can do with them was a little op

[wraith vapor]

Has anyone tried to look at their legacy service records on waypoint? Alot of the info is broken or won't load for me. I can see halo 2 kills but not 3 or reach or 4.

[smoky token]

is she ranked?

[smoky token]

i’ve heard rumors that Kratos is gonna be the 8th skin in the battle pass

the trailer only showed 7 skins

[hasty zinc]

nah

[jade walrus]

Kratos already exists, just not in a battle pass

[wild sleet]

They already made a skin for Kratos in the shop, since it’s Greek themed it should be a good opportunity to bring him back & also include his GOW3 alternative look

[smoky token]

that’s what i’ve heard ppl saying yeah

[formal sinew]

Halo 2 elites are so cool man

Thems the best looking ones

[ocean herald]

halo 2 is goated

[fair parcel]

Halo 2 is easily the best halo

[formal sinew]

The campaign gameplay sometimes is a little boring compared to the other games but it has the best story and i like the multiplayer the most

[fair parcel]

Halo 3 is number 2 tho

[formal sinew]

Ce has the best legendary

Nice and fair other than debatably the rocket flood

[fair parcel]

The gameplay was nice in halo 4 but the story was meh but halo 5 was just

bad overall

[hasty zinc]

🐐

[candid solar]

Anyone else smell rotting meat?

[formal sinew]

Campaign gameplay was pretty bad in 4, the needler was really op with it's tracking rounds and they made it so ai could supercombine the player, and grunts could charge the plasma pistol

And the forerunner things were just annoying

[candid solar]

Skill issue

[wild sleet]

I didn’t mind Halo 4’s campaign, found 2 levels to be a little boring but it was still a solid experience

[smoky token]

question for yall

do you organize your servers into folders?

[candid solar]

Yes

[wild sleet]

I organise everything, if I don’t I freak out

[ocean herald]

i try to organize them but if i put a server in a folder, it just means i will never go into that server again

[smoky token]

question number 2

do you name/color tag your server folders?

[formal sinew]

Patience issue maybe, it's not really hard to sit in the back of the map slowly picking off enemies with precision weapons, it's just not fun

[candid solar]

Don't worry, half the Prometheans will come to you.

[normal owl]

I have zero FF experience, but this seems like it will be a popular Xbox release, so this appears to be an important PSA for those excited to redeem the free Game Pass Starter Edition:

[smoky token]

i’ve been playing tarkov with hawkner and some of his friends

but that’s pretty much it

luc is better at tarkov that i expected lol

[bronze breach]

Akira Toriyama passed away 😦

Sad times

[granite sky]

fort,
night

[fair parcel]

I was talking about multiplayer

[formal sinew]

Custom games can be pretty fun

[obsidian wyvern]

not for the like the last month but we did a lot before then tbh

[obsidian eagle]

Hey everybody! Btw, I was just thinking about this… since we have a combat evolved AR skin, why not release a combat evolved Magnum skin for the Sidekick? It would make a lot of sense in my opinion.

[granite sky]

i think there should be a CU where the game suddenly retro teleports back to Halo CE balance and they introduce the Halo 1 powerhouses the magnum and plasma rifle

also flamethrower

just treat CU as fever dream and revert to original balance after

[hidden path]

Hello, i just joined
In any case we need more weapons even if its not magnum or flamethrower, having dmr added in s3 as our only new gun is horrendous

[hidden path]

Yeah, this is nice

[normal owl]

Silly me, I've been wearing shorts on my head this whole time?

[elfin glacier]

is that temu

[normal owl]

H&M, my favorite bargain hunting grounds.

And the only value-priced clothing place I've found where "slim fit" consistently means actual slim fit.

[granite sky]

i agree i was thinking new weapons was part of the new game model but idk oh well maybe

[wild sleet]

Finally levelled up I’m taking a break from Halo Ping Roulette Infinite

[obsidian eagle]

Omg yes, recently my ping has been all over the place and overall it makes multiplayer much less enjoyable

[formal sinew]

Like we needed another precision weapon

We could have gotten the Spartan laser or plasma rifle or something cool

[obsidian eagle]

I was just thinking if they really wanted to truly pay homage to the original Halo, they could’ve at least added the magnum, a few remasters of some classic multiplayer maps (that weren’t made in Forge) and they could’ve made a Halo CE themed operation with an unlockable Mk V core

Arguably short but it would’ve been a bit cooler than what we got.

[wild sleet]

Fuel Rod, Brute Shot, the better Carbine

[obsidian eagle]

Mhm

[formal sinew]

Definitely

Grenade launcher, beam rifle/focus rifle would have been cool too

[formal sinew]

They do have some ce armors and the ce Master Chief skin that costs like $15

[obsidian eagle]

Which I have

But honestly making it its own thing would have been better than an armor kit

[formal sinew]

Yeah

Can you even use other stuff with armor kits

[obsidian eagle]

Other colors and emblems, that’s really it

[formal sinew]

Lame

[obsidian eagle]

All your armor pieces are locked in

[obsidian eagle]

I know, right?

[formal sinew]

Imagine CE mkv helmet on the Mark iv core that would be cool

[muted rose]

W pfp btw

[obsidian eagle]

Thanks man, been a Star Wars fan since I knew how to walk

[obsidian eagle]

Technically you can if you unlock it in that battle pass

According to lore, Mk V is just Mk IV with additional shielding and utilities.

[hasty zinc]

you're Mk IV with additional shielding and utilities

https://tenor.com/MOlQ.gif

[obsidian eagle]

Haha I love that and understood the reference at the same time.

[formal sinew]

Yeah that's what I have but the ce helmet looks pretty different from the normal mkv

[obsidian eagle]

Normal Mk V has that line in the visor

[unkempt vessel]

How do I show my level when I’m streaming

[obsidian eagle]

CE is just one solid flat texture.

[formal sinew]

The visor on the ce version looks smaller too

[obsidian eagle]

It is, yeah

[tribal haven]

Rip Akira Toriyama

[formal sinew]

The infinite mkv looks really tall to me idk how to explain it

[obsidian eagle]

I mean Chief is 7'2" in armor so that’s probably why?

Idk

[livid oyster]

Mk5 is also pretty bulky compared to the other versions. I think that makes it appear that way

[short swallow]

Ahem.

To those who understand, don't you hate playing on game pad & holding tje action button? I do. PC just clicks & goes...but a. Aim assist.

[formal sinew]

I meant the helmet

[obsidian eagle]

Oh

[ocean herald]

the fornite server is going crazy right now with this downtime

[obsidian eagle]

Yeah I noticed that too

[ocean herald]

they had an issue that postponed them another 8 hours

[formal sinew]

Any time there's downtime on any game people freak out

[ocean herald]

that's fair, they're being super extra right now. probably 100 messages every 30 secs

[formal sinew]

Yeah

That's insane lmao

[halcyon vale]

Hey just wondering if anyone’s LASO achievement is glitching, I have completed infinite 20 times on LASO and I get the achievement but after 24 hours it’s no longer there. Does anyone know why this is happening?

[quiet quartz]

Why are grunts on choppers so dumb

They just run in to things and try to drive through them

[formal sinew]

At least they don't beeline right for you and blend you like in halo 3

[quiet quartz]

True, nah the phantoms take care of that

[formal sinew]

Right

Phantom turrets are so annoying on legendary

[quiet quartz]

Those overpowered front cannons will turn you in to putty

[formal sinew]

Those and the brutes with the ravager things are probably the most irritating things in the game

[quiet quartz]

Those dopey boneheaded ogres sure do have incredible aim

[quasi kestrel]

they do lol

[formal sinew]

Yeah imagine trying to hit anything at like 300 yards with a burst gun with slow moving projectiles and a ton of drop

[quasi kestrel]

there secret is mathmatics they just apear bruteish but really 400 IQ

[formal sinew]

They put on an oafish facade to fool you

[quasi kestrel]

lololol

[ocean herald]

The two brute brothers you fight in infinite toward the end are annoying on legendary

You can cheese the fight a bit if you get a vehicle and run them over, but their aim is impeccable

[candid tusk]

I had to hide, playing super slow and steady not to die. That whole area was rough for me first run through. lol

[quiet quartz]

my favourite loadout is s7 sniper+rocket launcher and banshee, those hawking brothers don't stand a chance

[livid oyster]

Yeah, I hid on that encounter among the wreckage. That was a wtf am I going to do here moment

[quiet quartz]

the open world allows you to get high up enugh that AI stop reacting to your presence

[obsidian wyvern]

I found a rocket launcher and just used it on the one with the jetpack, then grapplejacked the bike

[quaint finch]

Halo 3 ODST is pretty cool

Matt (@Wetz1091) on X

@HaloBoxStudios My thought was the charge would cause the controls to go haywire and the controls invert while the shock effect is happening. Could you imagine how chaotic that would be?

Twitter is totally unusable without an account anymore isn't it. lol Can't see what they're responding to.

[zenith hazel]

Someone competitive to farm K/D and wins. I need someone who takes this seriously

[candid tusk]

You're in the wrong neighborhood, friendo. #lfg-other or #lfg-competitive might be more your camp.

[zenith hazel]

ok thx

[candid tusk]

Thank you good sir. Yeah, that's be neat. Both setups combined honestly. Totally whacked out controls while the engine's pumping.

[livid oyster]

Lol, figured I’d offer just in case

[smoky token]

playstation fans might be eating good soon

[bronze breach]

legendary firefight got removed?

[hard crane]

It's a clickbait

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[hard crane]

Just some aftermath stuff from Peter Moore

[edgy osprey]

I'm hearing Infinite isn't getting anymore big updates, and they're working on a new Halo game, is this true?

[obsidian wyvern]

nah there was something about Xbox execs roleplaying as ps execs lol

[hard crane]

So halo comes to playstation for sure😂

[hard crane]

Infinite will be getting more updates (next one is supposedly dropping in the close future) and they are working on more halo stuff

[obsidian wyvern]

this is literally so funny they had xbox execs roleplay as sony ones

Twitter · Mar 8, 2024, 5:40 PM

[edgy osprey]

So, is it true that another game is coming already? I know they're still supporting Infinite, just not anything big.

[hard crane]

Xbox folks having "act as playstation executive" as their roleplay wasn't part of my daily bingo card

[edgy osprey]

I thought Infinite was supposed to last a decade

[hard crane]

I just answered that

[edgy osprey]

I asked a yes or no question and you repeated what I said back to me but more detailed as a statement

[hard crane]

You asked if Infinite will be getting more updates and if they're working on more halo games, which I answered yes to both

We don't know anything further than that for now

[edgy osprey]

That is not what I asked and you did not answer yes to anything

Answering yes to a question usually has the word yes in the answer somewhere

[hard crane]

Ok, I just answered to you again with "yes to both"
Happy?

[edgy osprey]

If it eases your nerves

[amber mirage]

Seeing the word "yes" seemed to ease yours

[hard crane]

What are you even going against me for 💀

[amber mirage]

For not using the word yes

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[fervent gull]

Wut

[hard crane]

yes🤣

[edgy osprey]

Reread my question then take a second look at your answer

If I asked if Infinite was still getting supported it would've sufficed, but that's simply not what I asked

[steady jolt]

Halo Infinite was announced as, from memory, a platform for the next 10 years of Halo. Was never going to be the only project for 10 years

[hard crane]

https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1766156123101385038

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

[edgy osprey]

I see

[lilac pond]

Sir, Finishing this fight

[livid oyster]

I don’t mind infinite sticking around for mp. I just need another campaign. Don’t care if it’s a whole other game or dlc for infinite

Need more campaign

[lilac pond]

Wake me, When you need me

I need a weapon

[tight remnant]

i want more people to enjoy halo

So that means, if it's on playstation, then imagine all the people who'll be able to play

[formal sinew]

Surprised there was never any dlc

[lilac pond]

yes i think it's a fair trade
playstation fans deserve all the games and xbox doesn't deserve any!

[tight remnant]

What..?

[lilac pond]

[candid tusk]

They're being combative.

[lilac pond]

haha i am joking

it's just funny how playstation gets xbox exclusives and xbox gets no playstation exclusives

[candid tusk]

Japanese companies don't operate the same as others is all it really comes down to.

[lilac pond]

reminds me of the time death stranding an playsation ex exclusive was on gamepass but not on xbox

[formal sinew]

I think they should make a third halo game

[heavy orbit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mofN6wWmGok&t=16s

[livid oyster]

Yeah. With all the story that went into mp and this being a platform for the next 10 years, I’m surprised as well

Shame they aren’t making any more cutscenes for mp. It was starting to get pretty good imo

[formal sinew]

I'm guessing not many people were paying attention to them

[livid oyster]

Probably not

[formal sinew]

I really hope the next halo isn't free to play

[tight remnant]

I think people tend to mean as the mainline halo game. Say there's ODST 2, halo was 3, spartan offensive, while halo infinite being the mainline halo FPS that keeps recieving support

[formal sinew]

That was probably one of infinites worst decisions

[bronze breach]

Perhaps they have been over ambitious with infinite which is why when they realised the limitations of what they can and cannot do they decided to make the hard calls?

[lilac pond]

actually not

it would have been waayy dead
considering the game is on gamepass

[edgy osprey]

Most of PlayStation "exclusives" aren't even exclusive, they're just not on Xbox

[lilac pond]

it barely made money from actual sales

[livid oyster]

Well, the free to play aspect did bring more people. Didn’t harm the gameplay, maybe just the cosmetic side of things. Which I’m not concerned with cosmetics costing money

[tight remnant]

I am

[lilac pond]

Yes that still doesn't cover up the part that Xbox games are on playsation and not playstation games on xbox

[formal sinew]

Because the only thing you got for $60 was a campaign that was already on gamepass, you'd have to be an idiot to buy that

[edgy osprey]

It doesn't cover up anything, it just says a lot about Sony

[lilac pond]

even with the 60$ mutliplayer most people would have choose gamepass

[formal sinew]

If it came with mp and didn't launch on game pass it would probably sell decently well

[livid oyster]

Fair enough

[lilac pond]

Yes they want to compete and they know how to that's why they are always #1

xbox wants to compete but doesn't know how to that's why they accept they are #3

[edgy osprey]

I guess, if that's what you're taking from what I'm saying

[livid oyster]

The bright side of mp costing money would be less smurf accounts

[lilac pond]

Make a good game
sale copies

[livid oyster]

With no collision and friendly fire it makes it hard for people to troll. Which there is plenty of that in mcc

[lilac pond]

Halo infinite's development was a disaster
They hired the wrong people

Their motto was
We hired people who hated halo or never played halo to make halo

[mossy jacinth]

Is there any way to play Halo 5 on PC?

[edgy osprey]

No

[lilac pond]

No son

[livid oyster]

Just the forge/custom games

[lilac pond]

this is one of the reason there are alot of layoffs
You hire people for esg and your games fail

[candid tusk]

You can play on PC with xCloud with Gamepass Ultimate, it's streaming an FPS, but it's all we've got.

[mossy jacinth]

@candid tusk I'm in the Xbox app and don't see it listed in cloud gaming. Where would I find it?

[livid oyster]

Not that I want to talk about the economy too much. But layoffs are happening everywhere, not just the entertainment industry

[steady jolt]

I wish people would stop using that quote, or at least look up the actual context behind it

[formal sinew]

Isn't halo 5 forge on pc or did they shut that down

[lilac pond]

Yes because they hire the wrong people

[edgy osprey]

Why do you play a game that you don't like?

[lilac pond]

Okay what is the context please explain

[steady jolt]

"We had people who we hired who hated Halo because of 'X,'" says O'Connor. "But what that really meant was, 'I feel like this game could be awesome because of 'Y input' that I'm going to bring into it. I want to prove it, and I'm passionate about proving it.' So we ended up with a bunch of people who were genuinely passionate about the product. That is a huge advantage, and that helped in hiring and forming our team."
https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/making-i-halo-4-i-a-story-about-triple-a
Hated was more than likely a much stronger word that Frank meant to use at the time, but you rarely get to follow up / clarify these things before they're cemented in

[lilac pond]

Who me? I like infinite's campaign i just don't play it all day
I support good games but i also do not turn a blind eye towards the issue

[edgy osprey]

Read a book

[hard crane]

At what point in time a video game enters to the state where if you like it you play it, and if you're not you just don't play instead of doing the written equivalent of "hate watch"

[lilac pond]

so do you think 6 years of development and 200M where justified for an unfinished multiplayer?

[lilac pond]

i am not hating the game in anyway i am just high lighting the issues

[edgy osprey]

I'd love to answer any questions you have that could lead into a productive conversation

[lilac pond]

💀

[edgy osprey]

Is that something you have trouble with?

[lilac pond]

I don't know

[lilac pond]

i just want to ask this if it's justified

[hard crane]

No, not really

[lilac pond]

Okay what do you think i am saying or doing?

[steady jolt]

Infinite didn't start development the second Halo 5 released

[edgy osprey]

You know what you're doing because every message you send is provocative in some way

[steady jolt]

Halo 5 post launch support and DLC was being worked on first

[lilac pond]

it was announced in 2016 okay let's just say it started in 2017

[lilac pond]

I am confused

[steady jolt]

Please don't ping on replies, thank you

[lilac pond]

Sorry

[obsidian wyvern]

wasnt the first ad for halo infinite in 2018 with E3

[edgy osprey]

You're not here to have a conversation, you're looking to argue and be right about something no one is disagreeing with you on

[lilac pond]

My bad

[lilac pond]

I am not here to argue i apologize if you feel like that

[restive vault]

halo farcry didnt turn out very popular

[lilac pond]

I love halo infinite for it's fun gameplay and good campaign
I just don't feel like it's justifiable as a company standpoint for a product to cost 200M and take 2 years to actually finish the real deal

[steady jolt]

As fast as I'm aware, production costs were never announced anywhere

[livid oyster]

Hard to say it was a disaster. Plenty of people liked the gameplay on its release. The most unpopular thing was the season passes, the very difficult weekly challenges, and cosmetic store

[obsidian wyvern]

how fast are you 👀

[lilac pond]

The budget set by Microsoft and 343 Industries for Halo Infinite is reportedly more than $500 million, according to German website Xbox Dynasty

[edgy osprey]

What place are we in to decide whether or not the money spent on Infinite is justifiable

[lilac pond]

sorry for pinging on reply*

[steady jolt]

Yes and that 1 random site nobody has ever heard of pulled it from where?

Nowhere

[lilac pond]

this was just the first few months gameplay felt boring after same old modes
No forge
no splitscreen

[lilac pond]

Microsoft reportedly spend hundreds of millions of dollars on Halo Infinite's production, including the live service framework and cross-platform release. Microsoft has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on Halo Infinite's development, new reports from Thurrott's Brad Sams indicate

mutliple reports suggest that the budge was more than a 100M

[edgy osprey]

"Suggest" and "reportedly" are not definite

[lilac pond]

i can't send pictures here

[edgy osprey]

This is from Tweaktown.com

[lilac pond]

but in the ftc document it had a gap of 3 numbers for the actual budget of halo infinite

[restive vault]

why split hairs about it they def spent big bucks on the game

[edgy osprey]

The article then explains that Brad Sams is just a fan of Halo

[livid oyster]

The gameplay is pretty much the same it has always been. Which is an arena shooter at its heart. Split screen is not as popular as it once was, and forge wasn’t entirely necessary, but it’s understandable that people wanted it sooner

[lilac pond]

even if they did not spend 500M or 200M they clearly made a loss off infinite

weather you would like to accept it or not

[lilac pond]

forge wasn’t entirely necessary,
forge was necessarry and still carries infinite

[steady jolt]

I don't think any of us are in a position to say that with certainty

[edgy osprey]

This has nothing to do with what I'm willing to accept nor are we in a position to deem it "justifiable"

[livid oyster]

I would also like to add that these massive budgets aren’t as much as they use to be. With inflation, more employees, and more advanced tech that money goes quick

[restive vault]

x indie game here

[lilac pond]

Yes games do cost a bit more to develop and take time but that's still not an excuse for an unfinished product

[hard crane]

So not yet, I see

[lilac pond]

i do not understand your paragraph

[cedar turret]

Do the things you enjoy and try to enjoy the things you do.

[restive vault]

not a paragraph

[candid tusk]

Nah, it's all about the salaries. What they need to do is work on these games as passion projects. No pay. Obviously that would fix it. 🥴

[livid oyster]

Forge is a very nice thing to have, but it just required patience. They had said it was on the way. Would you like forge to be released unfinished?

[queen remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/grandpa-abe-exit-confused-bye-bart-gif-7694184

[restive vault]

i mean being unfinished didnt stop the release of the game

[amber mirage]

The fact that I've seen people unironically suggest says a lot.

[lilac pond]

okay maybe let's forgive them for forge

splitscreen is still no excuse
a part of halo since birth

please no

[amber mirage]

Multiplayer has full splitscreen support. Campaign doesn't.

[livid oyster]

That’s what I’m countering. They don’t like that the game was supposedly released unfinished, so you want more things released unfinished?

[edgy osprey]

Again, who are we to say it's "justifiable" or "excusable"

[lilac pond]

The consumers

[edgy osprey]

Then stop consuming if you don't like the product

[lilac pond]

The campaign SHOULD?

[restive vault]

i want no things unfinished

[steady jolt]

^ yep, and campaign splitscreen was in development until they had to halt it to progress other features and bug fixes

[lilac pond]

that's like the worst way to end an debate

[edgy osprey]

The game came out 3 years ago and you're complaining about issues that existed 3 years ago

[queen remnant]

It's already surprising that a game has some form of splitscreen in this age tho

[edgy osprey]

It's the best way to end whatever state you're in that makes you want to consume content you don't like

[queen remnant]

Normally, there is none

[lilac pond]

Yes because i had a bad time back then and i don't want them to do it again with the next halo game

[edgy osprey]

Get a job at 343 Industries

[lilac pond]

It's like saying
if your food tastes bad just dont consume it

[restive vault]

well i mean

[lilac pond]

Sure

[amber mirage]

That's what lots of people do

[edgy osprey]

Does that not make sense...? I'm not sure what your point is here

[amber mirage]

They choose to get their food elsewhere

[lilac pond]

what if you don't have an option

[restive vault]

you always do

[hard crane]

Yes
Exactly

[amber mirage]

You're saying you're forced to play Halo

[edgy osprey]

You do have an option because we're talking about a game, not means of survival

[lilac pond]

not exactly

[queen remnant]

Halo it's their life, if they stop they just disappear

[lilac pond]

i am giving an example

[amber mirage]

Not a good one

[lilac pond]

😢

[lilac pond]

Fair enough

[steady jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/peace-out-gif-22295199

[edgy osprey]

Your analogy is incomparable to the topic at hand and it wouldn't even work in your favor if it was

[lilac pond]

sure

[edgy osprey]

If you don't like a game, stop playing the game

[lilac pond]

in the end I like infinite it's an good game although i will always question where the large budget went into developing one of my fav franchise? why was it not good on launch?

[edgy osprey]

If you want to be miserable and continue playing the game you don't like, and continue to consume content you don't like, that is your own fault

[lilac pond]

How can i like a game when it's not good? maybe it's the companies fault for making an unfinished product

in the end
it is not justfiable for any company to release and fix later

👍

[bronze breach]

This is not the 360 era. Games are now much more complex to make and optimize

[lilac pond]

Clearly
we have better technolgies and more people and higher budgets

[livid oyster]

It’s kind of a blessing that games these days can be fixed on the fly by online updates. Many mediocre/good games have become great because of that

[edgy osprey]

As long as people like you—who consume content they don't like—continue to do what you do, I don't think things are going to change

[restive vault]

ayup

[lilac pond]

So i am clearly the part of the problem
that makes me the reason why games are unfinished

like i said i dont play infinite all day
i visit it once in a while

[regal chasm]

You buy a pair of shoes. They are full of holes and the sewing is coming undone at every steps. Do you keep wearing them and complain about it on a shoes discord or you just throw them to the trash and move on?

Like I get being disappointed with Infinite if the game genuinly isn't fun for you, you can take a break and play something else until the game change or move on.

[bronze breach]

Execs pushing deadlines is also a factor

[restive vault]

bc it still makes money

[amber mirage]

Deadlines were always a thing

[edgy osprey]

When you are part of a group that allows behavior like this from developers to be acceptable, and in most cases, profitable, then yes, you are part of the problem

[lilac pond]

Do you keep wearing them and complain about it on a shoes discord or you just throw them to the trash and move on?

I return them

[amber mirage]

It's just now, there's more money at stake

[lilac pond]

Yep
game development in the old days used to be ultra short

[candid tusk]

Yuppp and this is why voting with your wallet won't work. People who do like stuff, and who they've done market research towards have bigger wallets.

[edgy osprey]

Especially when you complain about it afterwards, but don't stop consuming the content? Definitely part of the problem

[lilac pond]

So i play the game that makes me the problem?

[amber mirage]

Partially because budgets were small, and fewer people worked longer hours.

[restive vault]

aye matey we caught a live one

[lilac pond]

I do not complain about it i only question

[lilac pond]

yes

[edgy osprey]

Do you want me to simplify it further for you?

[lilac pond]

no thanks i think this is enough

Good day!

[bronze breach]

I think instead of acquiring activision. They should have spent some billions into halo lol

[restive vault]

ms acquiring sutdios like thanos

[bronze breach]

Next will be Ubi and EA

[round laurel]

Good luck with that.
I doubt they will be allowed any major acquisitions any time soon.

[livid oyster]

Well, ubi and ea couldn’t be worse. Would be worth a shot. Especially ea

[edgy osprey]

I could see it happening, but not anytime soon.

[amber mirage]

I don't see it happening

[restive vault]

ea acquires ubi ms acuires ea ezpz ms w

[bronze breach]

I'd say give it 10 years time for another major acquisition

[edgy osprey]

Not Ubisoft, but EA? Maybe

[candid tusk]

And then there are less games released due to internal competition risks.

[restive vault]

im not wanting biggamecorp inc. to be clear

[edgy osprey]

Microsoft is going to be at competition with itself soon

[bronze breach]

Microsoft will then enter the food market and open up its first supermarket

[candid tusk]

Will they sell Microchips?

[bronze breach]

Everything except apples

[edgy osprey]

God forbid one of the execs sees this and gets some bright ideas

[bronze breach]

Get a free coating with every purchase of food over $39.99

[edgy osprey]

Get a free month of Microsoft Office 365 with qualifying purchases

[hard crane]

Yeah, you return them and move on with your life

You're not coming back to the store each week and talk with the cashier about how you wish the show wasn't full of holes

[sullen wraith]

hi

[elfin glacier]

budgets were small
assuming by old days we mean in the 2000s, Halo 2 says hi

but also lol the 500m figure popping up still

[pulsar heron]

i see you are not familiar with the windows 11 ice cream

[elfin glacier]

bloomberry

[pulsar heron]

the very same

[fast sparrow]

How do I formally report a cheater straight to the developers? I have evidence backing my claim

[fickle drift]

UwU

Just googled this. Must have it!!!! 👍

[pulsar heron]

i think its a very pretty colour

[bronze breach]

It really is

[floral pollen]

Anyone else getting really bad ping today or is it just me?
Bc I've rarely dipped below 600 today and I normally sit at 65-80

[livid oyster]

I’ve had quite a few matches with crazy ping

[obsidian wyvern]

mine are fine

[livid oyster]

It hasn’t been many for me, but more than usual

[subtle cove]

Anyone else unable to connect to the Halo Infinite servers? Now it's letting me in. /shrug

[bold sparrow]

Hold up, that's a thing?

Oh you've gotta be kidding IT IS

[floral pollen]

I did a Firefight match just to see and its not a ton better
it sits at like 67 more often but it still spikes to over 1k

[fickle drift]

Seems they are having server issues.

Half the games fail to load.

[tight remnant]

Earlier I was loading up a custom and it went bye bye on me so, probably some server issues at the moment

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah it said multiplayer unavailable just before I quit

[floral pollen]

Yea, I was doing customs earlier and it was the same problem

700-1k besides like 5 mins total of the match

[normal owl]

Must be an issue with you guys. My server was very smooth and quick: got me all my food rapidly and in good order.

[floral pollen]

I would like all of that

[hard crane]

Oh. My. God.

[pliant hatch]

that meat thing looks nasty, but probly tastes good

[livid oyster]

Showing off all that food and won’t even fedex us any

[pulsar cobalt]

Please railgun would be nice

Wait hold up i can post pictures only just realised

[ornate sequoia]

Why the salmon look like that?

I feel like after 2.5 years 343's feature release turn around time has improved quite a bit.

And yet, we are still making a big deal over releasing the classic shot gun. It just baffles me.

[obsidian wyvern]

ZUG

YOU MADE IT

[elfin glacier]

helodnf

[obsidian wyvern]

now where's shleds inheritor

[obsidian wyvern]

hlloseedg

[pulsar cobalt]

I finally made it 🔥

[steady jolt]

You had it a whole day 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

lmao

[pulsar cobalt]

I did i didn't even realise 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

unfortunately u didn't best recons realisation

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm starting to get the feeling CU30 is gonna a sandbox update

[normal owl]

Exactly correct: it's salmon jaw, which is so much more tender, marbled, and flavorful than a filet that it tastes like it's from a different kind of fish entirely. But there's only a few per week bc it depends on how many salmon the restaurant ordered.

[pulsar cobalt]

if that's the case hopefully new weapons and og disrupter back

[normal owl]

I am so full right now 🫃🏻

[halcyon mica]

You've made it to the other side

I'm so proud of you

[livid oyster]

Would love to get og disrupter back. Was such a good gun, now it feels kind of useless

[grand moth]

@wooden flint

[normal owl]

Welcome to Inheritor life One of us! One of us!

[halcyon mica]

[normal owl]

So EA wants to essentially do AI-assisted Forge as a company: https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/ea-ceo-talks-ai-says-the-usual-stuff-before-the-bong-rip-hits-and-he-starts-blabbing-about-a-future-where-3-billion-people-are-creating-eas-games-with-it/

[livid oyster]

Sounds like that could take away some jobs. But I don’t really know what ai assisted forge means tbh

I wonder if this is wishful thinking or something that is soon to happen

[normal owl]

He was referring to everyday individuals being able to leverage AI to contribute to a huge neverending body of user-generated content. Like Forge or Roblox on a company-wide scale.

[livid oyster]

That would be interesting. Definitely could extend the life of a lot of games

I wonder if it could be as complex as making mods for games like skyrim and fallout

[cloud salmon]

Yh prob will

[pliant hatch]

I think tsquared lives in australia now so that could be some long flights.

[candid solar]

I mean, on the one hand, yeah, they've made progress, a ton of it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with addressing some shortcomings, though, on the other; And I kinda agree when it comes to wanting a lot of classic weapons back.

Even if I don't actually care much about the M90/45 coming back, it'd still be nice, because more sandbox is fun and good.

[livid oyster]

If they intend on adding more maps to the rotation like elevation they gotta fix the ai pathfinding or something, because the ai is pretty much useless on the new map

It can’t reach certain areas and dies from falling off quite a bit

[cloud salmon]

They prob gonna add another dev made map in CU30

And maybe a new weapon and balance changes

[livid oyster]

For instance. If an objective is down on the lowest platform it will stand in one place like it doesn’t know what to do

[cloud salmon]

Lol sometimes the flag just flies away

[candid solar]

One of these characters is dead :c

[steady jolt]

Force Ghost

[candid solar]

Kinda surprised they didn't go with Kovan.

[steady jolt]

or would it be Forge Ghost

[livid oyster]

Or it will run back and forth or in a circle within like a 20’ radius

[candid solar]

Ghost of Lockout

[livid oyster]

I do enjoy watching the flag or oddball float away

[cloud salmon]

True dat

But when ur in a 2-2 situation it really gets to u

[livid oyster]

Oh man. In a tight game and you just gotta watch the objective float off a little too far to reach breaks my brain

[granite sky]

new wep?

[cloud salmon]

Yeah saying it’s annoying is an understatement

[cloud salmon]

Maybe idk, apparently there’s some “great” ideas, and we will be “happy” with it

[floral pollen]

I've managed to get both the flag and Oddball stuck in the ceiling of maps before

[void owl]

Any tips on aiming better on MNK?

[floral pollen]

Lower sens is really the only thing

I have mine at 1.452 and have the horizontal/vertical to .7 and its not too bad for me, but you might want a bit higher or lower

[magic knot]

Anyone else no longer able to get 120fps/hz on series X after switching from 1080 to 1440p?

[void owl]

I have mine set up to 1.1 and I think I have same horizontal/vertical the same.

[floral pollen]

Depends if you find you overaim (aim past the target) or underaim (aim before the target) then
Then put your sens down/up a little depending on which one

[candid solar]

bird...

[stuck ruin]

Halo Support isn't working for me. I try and sign in and it just refreshes the page and doesn't sign me in.

[ocean herald]

Try clearing your browser cache/cookies

[steady jolt]

If that doesn't work, try an incognito window

[graceful nimbus]

how do i get image perms

[steady jolt]

Be around for a while, be active, keep it clean. We've got a bot that gives you a role

[thorny bough]

Outside of that, embeds are enabled in #1076327824924872755 and #halo-gear if you have Halo stuff you created / have and want to share. Just link to an image hosted somewhere (Discord, Imgur, Twitter, Insta)

[stuck ruin]

Will I still be able to login and make a post in incognito?

[steady jolt]

Yep

[hexed geyser]

guys im getting somethin' Special today 🙂

[cedar turret]

[hexed geyser]

[candid solar]

WHAT DO THEY WANT

[smoky token]

they've come for your nectar

[hexed geyser]

[worthy ginkgo]

its pretty fun i really like it the floaty area is super fun to fight in

[hexed geyser]

its hard for me to type & Play minecraft with bro at the same time so i might be barely talking

its 5pm & my 2nd mom is still not home

[rapid pivot]

Is it your birthday?

[hexed geyser]

no

but it feels like it

[rapid pivot]

Are you a woman?

(I’m asking cuz it’s international woman’s day)

[hexed geyser]

[rapid pivot]

Well, enjoy the gift regardless.

[hexed geyser]

[worthy ginkgo]

[rapid pivot]

John Halo

[worthy ginkgo]

Oasis is the best btb map change my mind

[hexed geyser]

my plan if the gift is a newer xbox

or should i wait till april ( my Bro's Birthmonth) if that's the case since he wants an Xbox

yes! my 2nd mom is home

[cedar turret]

Birhdays should be like anniversaries where they have specific gifts intended for each year.

[left bone]

wohohohohohoho

[elfin glacier]

wololololo

i wonder if halo wars 1 uses an engine based on aoe3's engine

[ocean herald]

fortnite really dropped the ball, they're STILL down

[elfin glacier]

wut happen

[ocean herald]

some kind of issue with the new season

they had expected downtime due to maintenance for the new update

but they had to extend for 8 hours, and then they extended again lol. i think they're supposed to be back up in another hour or so

[topaz gazelle]

do you guys where did mister chief came from? like, its origin

im not even talking about MASTER CHIEF, im talking about the meme mister chief

[hasty zinc]

from that guy

in a halo 2 bungie blog thing from like 2003/4? ish

[topaz gazelle]

oh, cool, ok

[hasty zinc]

https://www.halopedia.org/Mister_Chief

[thorny bough]

Guyssss!!! It is the weeeeekend!!!

[molten pelican]

I waited all year for friday

[cloud holly]

one of the best ai's in the game. i still hear new voice lines for him.

[ocean herald]

how is he unlocked? he's like the only ai i don't have

[candid solar]

Wallet

[onyx flame]

Just finished halo 2 probably my favorite so far

[ocean herald]

😔

[onyx flame]

Should i play odst or 3 first

[molten pelican]

ODST imo

[onyx flame]

Alright

[ocean herald]

odst might be a good palate cleanser of sorts

[fickle drift]

UwU

[ocean herald]

it's totally different imo since you're not a spartan

[onyx flame]

I liked playing as the arbiter

[ocean herald]

yeah he's fun. it's nice to be able to cloak

[edgy osprey]

If I remember correctly, ODST takes place right after one of the Halo 2 missions

[normal owl]

St Patty's bar crawl is no longer rained out tomorrow. Cannot wait!

[molten pelican]

I believe its sorta in between 2 and 3 I would say play it before 3, same mechanics as 3 but refreshing to play as ODST and then at the end you will be dying to play as chief again lol

[molten pelican]

save me an imaginary glass

[normal owl]

I'll pour one down for you homie 🤝

Well that image took forever to upload lol.

[molten pelican]

thank ya mate enjoy, dont drink to much, or do, its the weekend

[normal owl]

We'll pace ourselves: marathon vs sprint. And I'm excited for chicken tenders.

[molten pelican]

smart, save your stomach for the tenders

[faint mantle]

I got super confused. 47°C is absolutely reachable, but SNOW the next day?

Then I saw the 64° and said "Ah, Farenheit"

[normal owl]

Ah sorry, it's Fahrenheit

[topaz gazelle]

why did cortana, went from a purple female AI to a blue female AI?

[normal owl]

Holy cow I just looked it up and that's 116°F.

[candid solar]

RGB mood lighting

[unique smelt]

hello

[covert dove]

[cedar spruce]

I guess she liked blue better

[livid oyster]

Thankfully, she went back to purple in the end

[cloud salmon]

Yo what happened to the foundation map in husky raid

It suddenly got removed

[fickle drift]

Oh I dislike the Spartan III's so much ;-;

I'm not gonna say more cus spoilers but I just hate them

Makes me angy

[candid solar]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[fickle drift]

When we gonna finally put bayonets on UNSC weapons

[candid solar]

A few years ago.

[fickle drift]

🥹

It’s glorious

[fickle drift]

It's kinda weird

[candid solar]

The Knight blade was statted weird. Energy bayonets were cool and made more sense.

[fickle drift]

I don't understand why put a forerunner bayonet on a unsc weapon when we already have combat knifes that work just as well why not put a combat knife on as a bayonet

[candid solar]

Knight blade did extra damage to vehicles

[fickle drift]

I’m ok with the good old titanium knife tbh

[candid solar]

They literally use forerunner and energy sword bayonets on UNSC guns because the knives do not work as well.

[fickle drift]

Rather energy than forerunner

When we gonna add underbarrel grenade launchers

[candid solar]

In Rubicon Protocol, some of the normal human survivors gang up on a sleeping brute guard while they have an energy bayonet they pilfered. They make sure the guy who goes for the throat is the one with the energy bayonet, because it's the blade they're most sure will actually ignore the brute's armor.

If Emile's grenades cooked off, Reach would've been a few minutes shorter but a lot funnier

[livid oyster]

I definitely would trust an energy blade more than a metal one against a one thousand pound monkey

[fickle drift]

Then why do they make all the knifes be knifes hmm???

[candid solar]

Spartan combat knives aren't the same as marine combat knives.

Spartan combat knives are made out of a special material that makes them strong enough that a Spartan would actively struggle to break it, weighing in at 4 pounds and about 14 inches long.

(Real knives around that size usually weigh around half that)

(I always figured they were made out of similar materials to a UNSC ship's hull or something)

[dawn knoll]

Where btb ? 🤠🤔

[cloud salmon]

Does anyone know

[livid oyster]

Damn. Spartans are walking around with a wakizashi

[rare cedar]

they rotated in new maps

[livid oyster]

I really gotta stop putting god before damn

[candid solar]

Gosh dang it all to heck, I love saying it that way too

It's responsible for at least 3 of my day passes

[cloud salmon]

Na i meant like the new one

the new forerunner one isnt in the playlist anymore

[fickle drift]

Exactly so just stick those on a gun ain't that hard bruh

[candid solar]

Energy bayonets are still gonna do more.

Spartan knives are knives, but energy bayonets are energy, and do energy things.

It's like saying 'man, screw a lightsaber, I got this cool switchblade'

Also, given how Spartans work, I'm pretty sure using the regular bayonet would actually break the gun, versus energy bayonets, which don't need leverage and can just kinda stab like an energy sword.

Course, so would normal melee strikes as a Spartan, considering Chief broke a BR over Locke's head, and Locke didn't even flinch.

[fickle drift]

Yet Spartan knifes kill elites just as well

[candid solar]

🤷‍♂️

They don't make cool fizzle noises as they render fat and muscle from bone

Like IDK man you're being pretty cringe

[fickle drift]

They don't need to

[candid solar]

And you don't need to be cringe, yet that's what you're being

[fickle drift]

Also energy weapons cauterize wounds doing less damage

[fickle drift]

So an opposing opinion is "cringe" now lmao I haven't insulted your opinion yet you insult mine

[candid solar]

Mostly because you decided to ignore all of my points. If you're gonna ignore mine, I'm gonna ignore yours.

[fickle drift]

I didn't ignore them lmao I posed counter arguments

[livid oyster]

I think energy weapons put the target into a sort of shock, doesn’t it? Even if they cauterize wounds it seems to fatally damage other organs around it

Probably melts surrounding organs

[candid solar]

Heat damage like that causes systemic organ failings.

[livid oyster]

Ah yeah

[candid solar]

Also, you can tune down an energy blade so that it causes lots of bleeding-Jul Mdama's Covenant did that explicitly to drive more honorbound Swords of Sanghelios soldiers to die of self-inflicted wounds.

[candid solar]

This isn't a counter argument, this is just saying 'so just put it on' without actually saying anything of value in response.

Your next response wasn't a counter argument either.

[candid solar]

Like, a Spartan can throw a rock really hard, enough to pop a grunt's skull. Why should they use guns?

[smoky token]

I think rocks would be more efficient

[candid solar]

Just because two things both kill really well, doesn't mean they both kill as efficiently.

[candid solar]

Well, they're certainly more environmentally friendly, if nothing else.

[pulsar cobalt]

I think this is refreshing to see and i really hope we see new additions to the sandbox

[candid solar]

So... No, sure, I guess, if I wanted to be charitable.

[amber osprey]

I hate winning a game in infinite and then playing against the master chief himself

[livid oyster]

2 sticks AND a rock

[candid solar]

Gee, Marine Corps, how come you get two sticks?

[smoky token]

(its just one of the Army's old sticks thats been broken in half)
