general-chat

[obsidian moon]

i had halo 5

[round laurel]

Assassin's Creed II, probably. Wolfenstein is quite old, so it depends on whether you enjoy retro shooters or not.

[obsidian moon]

but i stopped playing it because i got tired of it and its lack of customization

[lofty karma]

i like wolfenstein but i dont know if its wroth.

what about flatout 2?

[round laurel]

I mean, on Steam it's €2 lol

[lapis ivy]

Forge I used to play on halo 5 but it's limited compared to infinite

[round laurel]

Never played.

[lofty karma]

currenty i got like 4,68

[round laurel]

Any game that isn't complete trash is worth that low cost tbh.

I still think AC II is the best game on your list though. Far Cry 2 is a repetitive slog, but it has neat effects.

[obsidian moon]

ik

[lofty karma]

people said ubisoft sucks

[round laurel]

People say many things lol

Ubisoft are just incredibly safe with their games. They're very formulaic and their recent games are getting so long that it's actually tiring, but that's my own take.

[lofty karma]

i might refund a game and get 7 more euros.

[round laurel]

Ok

[lofty karma]

i'll see if i can. still

[lofty karma]

hope to god it can

i can get some banger games.

[lapis ivy]

Cod I played rarely only once after I found out how toxic it can be lol

My cousin used to play it

[lofty karma]

they say the n word in the new cod faster then eddie van halen soloing eruption

[lapis ivy]

Lol geeze

[lofty karma]

dude could get a world record

that would be actually kinda funny if that was a thing lmaoo..

[neat abyss]

Star Wars is better than halos

[lofty karma]

not really buddy, but star wars is my complete childhood so they're both on the same level.

star wars battlefront II classic is my game i used to play at 10 or 9

[lapis ivy]

I play also on ark survival ascended and evolved but in solo cause online is also toxic and full of cheaters lol

They keep patching the game constantly

And it's also a shooter game

[magic escarp]

Hey guys

[neat abyss]

Halos is same thing for 20 years I s all crybaby unsc

[magic escarp]

I wanna starrt to play halo games wich one should i start

[lofty karma]

halo master chief collection

[neat abyss]

Star Wars grow more better expansion with sequels

[magic escarp]

Whats the age rating ofHalo ce

[lofty karma]

why does that matter

[magic escarp]

I dont know i think its for 23 year olds

Im too young

[lofty karma]

did u know that i played call of duty at the age of 9

[magic escarp]

But its so confusing

[lofty karma]

dude i dotn even care about age rating plus it isnt even a big deal.

the age doesnt matter dude

[magic escarp]

Why is halo ce is for 23 year old

[lofty karma]

theres 40 year old men playing halos

[magic escarp]

Is it like language

[magic escarp]

Yeah my dad plays halo

[lofty karma]

language preset if im sure

[dawn glade]

I'm so confused by what's being said right now lol

[lofty karma]

you can just set languane

[lapis ivy]

32 here and still playing halo:)

You get more experienced at that age too

[granite sky]

Just some blood and enemies, don't think the language is rated M

[lapis ivy]

Not like Mass effect or dead space

That's m mature

[fickle drift]

tbf ME has different reasons to be rated M

[hasty zinc]

oh is it that time of day again already?

[fickle drift]

Oh yeah the age rating discussion write that down for bingo

[hasty zinc]

@obsidian wyvern

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm here

[lofty karma]

boy u didnt answer me.

[round laurel]

Halo The Master Chief Collection is rated M under ESRB and 16 under PEGI.
A very small sample of 21 parents say it's more like +11: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/game-reviews/halo-the-master-chief-collection
Might be worth showing that website to your parents if they won't allow you to play it, but ultimately it is up to them.

[obsidian wyvern]

shled did

[ocean herald]

Did we put down someone asking for blood/gore to return to halo?

[obsidian wyvern]

kinda tied to age rating

[lofty karma]

oh yes mb

[dawn glade]

I've got the collection on Xbone, I guess I could fire.it.on that and try to use controller lol

[obsidian wyvern]

I've only played ac and a bit of Wolfenstein from that list anyway, wouldn't be able to give much insight

[fickle drift]

Ah, but which AC 👀

[hasty zinc]

Air Conditioning

[lone crag]

Yooooo

[covert dove]

[graceful inlet]

Good night Spartans!
(and our marines 🫂)

[lofty karma]

@round laurel

its refundable, i'll get around 12 euros

im a lucky bastard

[fleet imp]

https://tenor.com/view/master-chief-cake-amir-crink-fortnite-gif-25613283

[lapis ivy]

Air supply vs air conditioner

[fleet imp]

🤦‍♂️

[lapis ivy]

Well Air conditioning is cooler

[fleet imp]

good night!

[obsidian wyvern]

need this map gone from ffa because the spawns are trash

[fleet imp]

bro i have the same enemy color

[obsidian wyvern]

same with behemoth

[fleet imp]

but have the ally color green

[floral pollen]

Simple solution:
Don't play FFA

[lapis ivy]

You listening to Spotify at gameplay?

[fleet imp]

good aiming tho

[obsidian wyvern]

i missed most shots with my ar lol

and yeah it was in the background doorless

[fleet imp]

i said the pistol aiming

[lapis ivy]

Oh ok yeah I listen to Spotify while forging lol

Too

[fleet imp]

i listen to Spotify when i play mc or i chat here

[lapis ivy]

Nice!

@fickle drift honestly such a nice sentence to hear

Culture Crave 🍿 (@CultureCrave) on X

Tony Gilroy says #Andor is the most 'important' project he's ever done

(via @WGAEast)

Twitter · Apr 16, 2024, 8:02 PM

i have high hopes for season 2 ngl

[fickle drift]

God I hope it's good

I'm glad he's really invested in it

[void magnet]

So excited for Andor

Beau Willimon on the new movie is also a massive W

[obsidian wyvern]

wait wtf

[fleet imp]

huh?

[lapis ivy]

I only barely realized how bad is FFA just now kinda the reason I stick with FF koth and gruntpocalyse

[fleet imp]

i like gruntpocalypse

you can get more kill there than in the normal one

[lapis ivy]

Hence the experience too

Xp

[fleet imp]

if it is the banished thing its more easy because of the rockets

[lapis ivy]

Or gravity hammer

[fleet imp]

theres no gravity hammer in the judge house

[lapis ivy]

🤔 ok

Grenades you can use

Plasma preferably

[cedar turret]

h4 pulse grenades are op

[narrow locust]

Halo multiplayer cool

[round laurel]

Yes.

[fickle drift]

Fr

[lofty karma]

yo

[lavish fern]

ever have that moment where you get into the zone in firefight and just go '86 prime on the enemies?

[fickle drift]

Yeah, I do often get a good streak going before dying prematurely because of a teammate

[left bone]

yep

[floral pollen]

Never liked the pulse grenades
unless they're better in MP

[granite sky]

maybe they were kinda useful against vehicles? idk i cant remember

[cedar turret]

They're op. Toss one you get 85 kills minimum

Put them in your loadout and you'll max that commendation in 4 or 5 matches

[civic urchin]

Easiest way to boost kd

[tight remnant]

No, they didn't EMP unlike splinter grenades

A tactic for pulse grenade is punch and pulse grenade an enemy for a kill

[civic urchin]

Why do you like sauce so much lol

[smoky wagon]

He is a great cornerback 🙂 def one of my fav players 🙂

[cedar turret]

nah, just toss them anywhere instant 85 kills

[smoky wagon]

lol

[cedar turret]

and they one shot the mantis. Takes two for a scorpion though

[floral pollen]

Ight ima need to test that
bc in my experience they ain't good

[barren haven]

How so? I’ve usually avoided them in MP at least

[calm fiber]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572921337782337566/1211114454142681118/noping.png?ex=65ed053b&is=65da903b&hm=127c1f5a619a9cb041d895fc8b72e2582f18b58934fcc2c232dda28837a796a2&

[barren haven]

•_•

K sorry dude

[civic urchin]

What happens if he gets traded?

[cedar turret]

And if you get one to go off midair you kill all the banshees...even the ones in other people's matches

[lapis ivy]

How bout dynamo grenades those any good?

[floral pollen]

Imo, no, not at all

[smoky wagon]

sad sad days then lol

[floral pollen]

unless its campaign or firefight, but otherwise Dynamos suck

[lapis ivy]

Lol they don't kill as much

[cedar turret]

if those are the infinite shock grenade you can use them to shield strip even groups in small spaces

[round laurel]

Yes, they're excellent in BTB.

[barren haven]

They’re meant for crowd control

[floral pollen]

hate them in every MM mode but Firefight personally

[barren haven]

The tooltips say they do more damage per target

[floral pollen]

used to sorta like them but the nerf just made them unusable imo

[cedar turret]

but back to the pulse grenades. If you get a full btb team to toss them all in the same spot it crashes the servers...they're just that good

[fleet imp]

hello!

[lapis ivy]

The pulse grenades are the ones that disintegrate you?

Like the forerunner weapons

[cedar turret]

No, they disintigrate everything. and send out lasers and burst of flame to damage people across the map

[left bone]

imagine walking up to a promethean and suddenly you get turned into air

a fate worse than death

[cedar turret]

honestly that sounds pretty breezy

[civic urchin]

More painless then being shot by a railgun

[left bone]

the air part is when your body gets disintegrated by their weapon and you'd feel the burning force of a thousand suns

[civic urchin]

For a split second

[left bone]

yup

[cedar turret]

sounds like an air raising experience

[left bone]

??

what?

[civic urchin]

Hair raising

He is the master of corny jokes

[cedar turret]

It's all dust in the wind

[left bone]

???

[left bone]

i dont get it

[cedar turret]

deep breath, you'll get it

[left bone]

?????

idk if youre trynna make me laugh or confused

[cedar turret]

maybe some more oxygen

[languid flame]

so no new map today ::9

[livid oyster]

Had a guy chase me around a corner and I repulsed him into a chasm then messages me saying I’m the reason this game is hated lol

[cedar turret]

that's a cold wind blow

[ocean herald]

Do y’all think it would break the mp if you could have all the armor abilities in mp(same as you do in campaign)? I feel like it would be hectic but I’d also like to see the chaos

[hexed geyser]

Idea for if i get 4 Xbox elite series 2 controllers P1 -Green P2 - Red P3 - Yellow - P4 Blue

cuz the led on the big x button is color changable

[worldly sedge]

I wish there were moar Firefight maps 👀 loved that sneaky Rendezvous from ODST in the playlist.

[hexed geyser]

should i get bro gamepass as a late bday present

[winter flame]

if you live in the same household you can just share a subscription

[round laurel]

No, timing was revised. It now says "Corrosion will arrive in-game later this Operation."

[floral pollen]

feel like that would be best for Fiesta or sumn

[ocean herald]

I could see that

I’d say it would probably work best on larger maps, where you have to do more traversal

[foggy shell]

The toxicity of halo players is hilarious

[hexed geyser]

we are a lot of miles away soo...

[barren haven]

Oooh, what happened?

[obsidian wyvern]

it's why people didn't like 5

[ocean herald]

Is it? Halo 5 had plenty of things people didn’t like, I don’t think movement/abilities was top of list

[obsidian wyvern]

it was because of that, it's "not halo"

[ocean herald]

Those people probably said the same about Reach

[barren haven]

It amazes me people get that upset over your character moving a little faster

[foggy shell]

nothin out of the norm LD energy

[barren haven]

LD?

[ocean herald]

Plenty of the takes I’ve seen in recently memory are people praising the movement in 5. I’m sure there was a crowd that didn’t like the armor abilities in 5 but I didn’t see a lot of that hate

[obsidian wyvern]

the halo cycle

[barren haven]

I always found Spartan Charge amusing

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/troll-troll-face-gif-25116980

[foggy shell]

they should fix the desync to get a bigger player base

[barren haven]

If you get people from behind it not only one shots, but it sends them flying

[obsidian wyvern]

too late

[foggy shell]

ye

[barren haven]

Anyway, I highly doubt this’ll be seen, but I desperately want Scorpion Punch to return

It’s the one thing I want above all in H:I

[ocean herald]

The thrusters/boosters were my favorite. I really liked being able to float for a sec to get some shots off in the air

[barren haven]

Spartan Slam was cool too

[round laurel]

The networking update which was recently released was designed to fix it.
It's way too late though at this point.

[ocean herald]

Yeah they’re already focused on the next halo. Growing the player base at this point is probably not on the to do list

[barren haven]

Think it’ll be on Zeta halo again?

[ocean herald]

They could have done some cross promo with season 2 of the paramount show and that did not happen

[round laurel]

Well, they did have the TV show's helmets as capstone rewards.

[ocean herald]

No one aside from existing players would have seen those lol. I was meaning like actual ads or somethin

[worldly sedge]

I wish people repopulated H5 again so I can grind to 152

I wish I had that Watchdog armor coating

[barren haven]

I tried Grinding 152

I’m like in the 90’s or low 100’s and you barely progress in a match

[round laurel]

What rank are you?

[barren haven]

Don’t torture yourself

[worldly sedge]

147 I think or 149

[round laurel]

Yeah you still have a long, long, way to go.

[ocean herald]

I have no clue honestly. The endless don’t really make sense to me, so I imagine (meaning I hope) they flesh them out more in the next game. Really hope they don’t keep pushing the chief/cortana narrative

[barren haven]

What if we went back to reach and found noble 6

Nah lmao

[ocean herald]

He’s very dead

[worldly sedge]

Oh Nevermind I’m 145 lol

[fickle drift]

Idk the temperature of this take but doing the whole ‘oOooOOoh they’re even worse than the Flood’ for the Endless was cringe as hell

[worldly sedge]

I’m like 7 ranks away

[ocean herald]

If we’re going crazy, I want to see a the force unleashed 2 story arc for chief were he gets cloned and has to figure out if he’s the real chief or not

[barren haven]

They seem way more chill than the flood tbh

[ocean herald]

Yeah I’d agree. It kinda retcons the threat of the flood

[barren haven]

Like take away Harbinger’s powers like we did in the story and they’re pushovers

[ocean herald]

The real meat of the story in infinite happens off screen, which is a shame. The harbinger didn’t get enough screen time

[fickle drift]

Nah we had to spend the whole game fighting goons of a guy who says he wants to fight us himself

Saving allied forces that the narrative doesn’t acknowledge

[ocean herald]

lol yeah pretty much

[winter flame]

wait ur suppose to save the marines

[fickle drift]

Well you can’t kill them unless you run them over 🙃

[winter flame]

i just watched them die then cleaned up the banished after 😄

[ocean herald]

I love calling in a warthog and giving them all rockets or the sentinel beam

Driving around watching them wreak everything is so fun

[round laurel]

Yeah but SR150 is just a little under halfway to SR152 though.

[foggy shell]

next halo I mean

[round laurel]

It's a real grind. So keep that in mind if you decide to pursue it.

[foggy shell]

feelin better still get those games of where are my shots

[round laurel]

Well yeah, I assume they won't make that mistake again.

[foggy shell]

its 343/Microsoft though

[mild oar]

do people even play Halo 2 Anniversary MP anymore?

[fickle drift]

Yes. Or they do as of two weeks ago anyway

[livid oyster]

Damn 150 is half way to max. I stopped playing at 147, because I just didn’t have the grind in me no more

Was also upset about breakout changing( I’ll never stop voicing my displeasure with that)

[worldly sedge]

If grinding was the case, what was the fastest way? Multiplayer or Warzone?

[mild oar]

so how's Halo Infinite doing? haven't played it for a couple of months, kinda figured since they were done with it and moving on that it was time to drop it, not sure when they are gonna reveal Halo 7 though

[livid oyster]

I would think warzone. But I never paid attention to which was faster. I logged most of my games in breakout and warzone

[candid solar]

WZFF

[worldly sedge]

Especially on Mythic when the Warden Eternal shows up

[candid solar]

Full stack with people who know what they're doing and it's not speedy, but it is more effective

[livid oyster]

That was also the quickest way to getting achilles armor

I never changed my helmet once I got that

[candid solar]

I always thought achilles looked kinda dumb, tbh

[livid oyster]

[candid solar]

Shockingly, I don't love every set of GEN2. Sorry.

I also don't like Helioskrill very much.

[livid oyster]

I didn’t think the armor was all that, but that helmet was awesome for achilles

[gloomy igloo]

noble six folds master chief
reason: he is forklift certified

(this is a joke)

[tranquil plaza]

Does anyone know which game modes do/don't have the threat sensor? Need to find and use it for the final weekly challenge.

[bold sparrow]

Technically all Spartans are trained on every UNSC vehicle so

[gloomy igloo]

Master Chief, you mind telling me what youre doing in that forklift?

[round laurel]

Try Husky Raid

[fickle drift]

Yeah you’ll get a few Odin’s Ravens pretty easy in HR

[tranquil plaza]

Oh yeah, because of random loadout. Thanks!

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah you can just spam that crap into the enemy base and you'll get it pretty instantly

not many people seem to shoot them down either

[obsidian wyvern]

has to be

there's no way they finish it in a book right..

[fickle drift]

[silent venture]

What’s up guys. Is there a channel where I can promote vids on halo and or streams?

[obsidian wyvern]

your own stuff in #1076327824924872755

[candid solar]

I always thought that was really stupid

[covert dove]

[covert dove]

Why is that stupid?

[remote jungle]

i just finished my 2nd playthrough of reach and this time i actually ended up in tears, its just so sad but so good of a story

[worldly sedge]

Forklift Sumo is the greatest custom games I’ve seen

[covert dove]

I mean the goal is to be able to be like a one man army, meaning you have to be able to handle any vehicle in case you’re stranded lol modern militaries use the same thing for their “special operators”

[worldly sedge]

That does raise a question: why can’t you use an Energy sword in Halo CE?

[remote jungle]

chief didnt know how to use one yet

[worldly sedge]

“How to use sword thingy”

[remote jungle]

its just what i like to think

[remote jungle]

look it up on reddit

i mean, he did barely come out of his pod during CE so thats the most logical imo

[worldly sedge]

I mean objectively game design, Bungie didn’t think of the player to use said Energy sword maybe in crunch time

I bet there’s mods that let you use it

[remote jungle]

oh yeah 100%

[fickle drift]

The sword is in the cut content of the test map they released for the workshop

Doesn’t have a first person viewmodel

So it couldn’t have been as far along as the Fuel Rod or Flame Thrower

[remote jungle]

bro who designed this bot

im waiting for my headphonejack splitter but the amazon delivery guy keeps moving more and more away from my home

[exotic bramble]

Hello

I keep being killed by the banshees in reach somehow

[safe dawn]

Idea: stay in cover and avoid the bansees

Also: six MA40's wreak havoc on a bansee

[fleet imp]

Wsp Spartans!

https://tenor.com/view/master-chief-cake-amir-crink-fortnite-gif-25613283

🤦‍♂️

[dim pebble]

Chats kinda dead man

[fleet imp]

yes LMAO

[dim pebble]

Kinda like Halo

[fleet imp]

Halo aint dead

Has a good playerbase.

[dim pebble]

The games themselves are still around and it’s decently active.

[fleet imp]

yes

MCC is most played bc of the NOSTALGIA players.

[dim pebble]

Just not as much of a vibrant community as it used to be.

[exotic bramble]

It's that one level in legendary mode

Am I done?

[dim pebble]

Huh?

[exotic bramble]

Wha

[fleet imp]

everybody was kung fu fighting

[celest kestrel]

Why is my name cheerful kangaroo?

[smoky token]

Some people's names get automatically filtered

Welcome to the slower part of the day

i dont like that they pulled out the operation:spirit of fire.

[inland pilot]

when you play to much halo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRG9KwvbVhk

[final roost]

[hearty flame]

Mcc is mostly played by nostalgia players***

[fleet imp]

actually that

[obsidian moon]

i forgor what btb is

[polar chasm]

How long will GruntApocalypse stay?

I thought it was going to change today?

[fleet imp]

i hope it stays

[polar chasm]

Hopefully we'll have nothing regular Firefight and Gruntpocalypse.

[fleet imp]

yes!

[polar chasm]

I don't know why I said nothing. Typo

[polar chasm]

But I just want to know cuz I thought it wad ending today

[fleet imp]

oh ok

gtg

[polar chasm]

It said Apr 3-16 so that's why I'm asking

Anyone know?

[bold sparrow]

It's 4 weeks not 2
Ends on the 30th

[prime kindle]

There's another orca?

[exotic bramble]

Gruntpocalypse laso

[bold sparrow]

Aye

[exotic bramble]

Should I buy season 5 and then with the credits buy heroes of reach?

[fossil skiff]

this is getting out of hand, now there’s 2 of them

[urban anchor]

I think it’s a good idea, hero’s of reach is one of the better passes

[worldly sedge]

I assume there’s gonna be another community update by the end of this month

Please let the last armor core be Mark VI Gen 1

[prime kindle]

What you mean? Lol

[fossil skiff]

It’s a trick. Send no reply.

[exotic bramble]

I love reach(except not in legendary)

[tame pebble]

Interesting

[faint eagle]

Why

[exotic bramble]

That level with the fighter

[candid solar]

Rate my MCC reskin on Steam

[weak socket]

hello

[exotic bramble]

Should have put Kat being sniped as the banner

But overall 10/10

[graceful inlet]

Good Morning Spartans!
(And Marines)
Reporting for duty!

[exotic bramble]

What about us ODST

[cedar turret]

They drop in periodically

[fossil skiff]

sometimes in pieces

[exotic bramble]

I totally didn’t break my legs last time I dropped

[fossil skiff]

but you stubbed your toe

[cedar turret]

No rp

[barren haven]

Heroes of Reach should be one of your first honestly

[exotic bramble]

I need hell jumper

Wait is there kat’s helmet with the needle round stuck on it?

If yes I need it

[fickle matrix]

Hawo

Gen chat ded

[tired pond]

hi

[soft kiln]

it's morning in europe and night in usa->people busy

[tired pond]

i got to go college soon

[hard crane]

I caved in and got fo76, good luck to me

[graceful inlet]

ODSTs hate spartans So....

[candid solar]

That's not actually a thing as much as people say it is.

[graceful inlet]

Okay but still i was saying the Reason here

Why i say only 'marines too'

[muted plaza]

Is the ravager in infinite like completely useless? xD

It feels so weak and there is literally an achievement to get a kill w it and only 8% of players have it

[faint mantle]

No? It's actually pretty solid

[bold sparrow]

Situational if anything

[faint mantle]

On launch it used to launch water, now it's deadly if your aim is right.

[muted plaza]

It feels kinda useless because it uses up soo much ammo with a charged shot and it just seems better to use an ar

[faint mantle]

The secondary blast is weak, yes, but it's used for area denial for some seconds. The primary is still good.

The goal isn't to use the charged shot often.

[muted plaza]

Wdym secondary blast? Charged?

[faint mantle]

If you just pull the trigger without charging, the Ravager will fire three bursts of plasma, and they are way stronger than the charged shot.

[muted plaza]

Ayt, I'll see if its better that way, thx

[obsidian wyvern]

it's a 2 burst

[muted plaza]

And wbu the electric pistol? That one also feels like just a worse default pistol tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

and the secondary fire blocks all incoming fire as a bug rn lol

[muted plaza]

Its not bad but the default pistol feels like it has better ttk

[obsidian wyvern]

it is, they nerfed it too hard

[muted plaza]

Probably better for range because it doesnt get bloom but pistol feels better overall otherwise

What about the hydra? What does changing the reticle do exactly?

[rare cedar]

When did you move to LATAM, Rev

[astral yacht]

Halo is the only game where warcrimes will be accecpted

[edgy ginkgo]

i mean, who's gonna stop em?

[astral yacht]

No one will stop em

[edgy ginkgo]

exactly

[fickle drift]

Normal reticle fires where you aim, changing the reticle to the circle one makes your hydra rockets track targets

It’ll beep and show a diamond on your target and home in on it when fired

Think of it like the old rocket launcher with the tracking

[obsidian wyvern]

but it takes 1 extra shot to kill when tracking

[obsidian wyvern]

yday

[rare cedar]

oh si si si si

[soft kiln]

yeah defo dont use tracking in gruntpocalypse. way better without

[rare cedar]

[short yacht]

Why did the BR get nerfed into a grave in halo infinite, was it for the bandit(basically the halo infinite DMR) to shine?

[worldly sedge]

I wish you could fire the BR in semi-automatic mode like the Halo 2 E3 demo

That would be quite tactical and cool

[short yacht]

Yeah

[short yacht]

My favorite’s the halo 2 BR, it just felt powerful, especially in the anniversary campaign.

[fickle drift]

The BR whose recoil actively encourages aiming for the chest instead of the head

[obsidian wyvern]

it didn't get nerfed either

[worldly sedge]

They did buff the Commando’s recoil handling which I’m so glad it can be used properly now

[timber flint]

Weapon balancing would have to be massively retuned since it’d suddenly have 3x ammo efficiency for headshots

That’s my guess at least

[worldly sedge]

Ah okay

So there is some repercussions to the adjustment of the BR

[timber flint]

Would defo make sense in campaign though. Burst fire for heavy targets, single for smaller ones

[worldly sedge]

Yeah that’s what I had in mind for the semi-automatic mode, I’d use it for PVE modes to see how well I can handle.

[obsidian wyvern]

is that Alonso 😮

[granite grove]

343, can I ask a favor, can you make Cadet Red look all red for the Mark 6 Gen 3 armor? How come most of the other Cadet colors, like Cadet Orange for example, how come Grif gets all the orange he needs, but Sarge can’t get all the red he needs? How’s that fair?

Please give me all the Red on Cadet Red

This is how Cadet Red should’ve looked on the Mark 6

[rare cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/no-nope-dont-like-that-not-funny-not-happening-gif-17287086

[granite grove]

Why?

Why does Grif, Simmons, Lopez, ECT, even some of the blues have to have their colors completely covering the armor with no grey spots, and Sarge doesn’t?

Give Sarge the red he deserves

Not red and grey

Just red

[fickle drift]

I think all Spartans should have a weight slider so I can play as a sphere of death, that's my request

[granite grove]

Hmm

But I just don’t understand why Cadet Red doesn’t look all red on Mark 6, it’s not fair

Do you think it’s fair if someone has more of their favorite color on their armor than you have your favorite color on?

343 please make the Cadet Red coating all red with no grey at all, whatsoever on the Mark 6 Gen 3, and it doesn’t have to be just Mark 6, every other armor as well, maybe except Mark 5 B

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Please, I ask you this nicely

[steady jolt]

Drop some feedback into #1039633978841374720 - better chance of it being picked up there

[granite grove]

Why not here?

[steady jolt]

It'll get buried fairly quickly, it's also 5am Seattle time

Forums are more structured, have tags

[lofty karma]

i dont know what gmae to pick up for 12 euro

[ocean herald]

What are your options?

[lofty karma]

anything thats good..

[ocean herald]

Limited to a specific storefront?

[lofty karma]

some gaes i cant run due to my gpu but im getting new one in about some month or two

[lofty karma]

wym..?

[ocean herald]

Like does it have to be steam, epic, Xbox, etc

[lofty karma]

steam of course

just tell me smth good cuz i've been ignored for a long time

[ocean herald]

Well I don’t know your specific interests but I’d recommend either fallout 4 or borderlands 3. Both are on sale right now

[lofty karma]

e

ok here comes the problem

i cant run fallout 4 its sh

my gpu*

not that the game is bad.

[ocean herald]

Ah dang. If you like horror some of the resident evil games are on sale. Re2 remake is great

What gpu do you have?

[lofty karma]

well here comes what i found but idk if they're really worth it: wolfenstein the castle, ac 2

[ocean herald]

Assassins Creed 2 is good

I’ve never played any of the wolfenstein games

[lofty karma]

i have a intergrated gpu but sometimes it runs like 1000 mb ram games but trust me its so sh you will get mind blown of how i can play with this.

games around 2015 or 2014

are fine, i guess..

[ocean herald]

Fallout 3 or fallout new vegas you might be able to run, both are very good games

[lofty karma]

i got both on epic games but i really hate epic games cuz of how it turned out.

do i buy them both on steam for good?

[ocean herald]

I think they’re a good deal if you like rpgs

[lofty karma]

of course.

[ocean herald]

Maybe just get 1 of them and see if you like it first

[lofty karma]

tell me more gaems and i'll have a look in them

[lofty karma]

fallout nv ultimate?

[ocean herald]

Yes, that one

[lofty karma]

i love fallout franchise trust me but sometimes the game is weird as hell.

[ocean herald]

I’d have to think on it given your gpu. I was just looking at what was most popular on sale

[lofty karma]

intel core i3 7100 ghz 3.90

oh my bad i thought u said cpu

[lofty karma]

around 500 mb ram is fine trust me

[lofty karma]

so???

[ocean herald]

I can look in more detail in a bit.

[lofty karma]

okay

[candid tusk]

Remember to pick up Zuma Deluxe as well for gaming on a low end device. Hours of fun.

[lofty karma]

i didnt say that old man.

i can run games like battlefield 4

[candid tusk]

That low end huh... Ouch.

[lofty karma]

yeah too bad im not rich.

[candid tusk]

Might need to pull it back a little and play something more like Monkey Island.

[hard crane]

+1

[lofty karma]

WHAT

i can play games liek batman arkham city asylum

[ocean herald]

Scepter how much ram do you have?

[lofty karma]

16

[candid tusk]

16 bytes of ram. Ouch.

[winter flame]

you can get an Xbox 360 for £20 that can run BF4 so it's maybe not the best example lol

[ocean herald]

So i3 7100, 16gb RAM, and you said no dedicated gpu, right?

[lofty karma]

16 gb*

[winter flame]

sidenote Xbox 360s are a steal

[lofty karma]

ye, but please games like 2012 not games like from 1999 cuz those games probably dont even work at this time of talking.

[candid tusk]

They work great. Solid and functional right out of the box.

[winter flame]

...if you install Windows 98

[lofty karma]

send me list ( if u made oen ( in my dms

[lofty karma]

what the actual.

[candid tusk]

Nah, Win 11 back compat works great.

Worst case, install dosbox.

[lofty karma]

no

[winter flame]

ohh so its just the GFWL era games that have issues

[candid tusk]

Yuppp. Built in failure thanks to Microsoft.

[hard crane]

Microdunk

@lofty karma HoMM3, non demanding but incredibly fun

[lofty karma]

what ho mm3

[ocean herald]

Not having a gpu is tough. Onboard graphics won’t get you too far. So any of the early assassins creed games are good, my favorite is probably brotherhood, dishonored is good, deus ex human revolution, the walking dead (telltale)

[lofty karma]

look i agree but some games do get me kind of far.

[ocean herald]

Not what I meant

[lofty karma]

i send my game list in ur dms u can go check it out but some gaames i cant run.

[lofty karma]

it is tough not having a gpu

[winter flame]

RX 580's are cheap and widely available

[lofty karma]

i know.

[hard crane]

Old school turn based tactical game, very fun, great story

[lofty karma]

i got weird parents so idk if they will buy me that.

[hasty zinc]

they NVIDIA fans?

[lofty karma]

Heroes of Might and Magic III
?

[hard crane]

Yep, I think I can send you the exe if you'd like

[lofty karma]

dude that doesnt matter they just in general dont want me to buy me pc stuff

[hasty zinc]

it was just a joke

[lofty karma]

well id give it some try if its free

[hard crane]

@hasty zinc it's from GoG lol, and it cost like a single sock

[hasty zinc]

yeah that's still piracy lol

[winter flame]

imagine having to make do with a GT 1030 😔

[lofty karma]

are u sure brotherhood is a good one?

[hasty zinc]

huh

[hard crane]

Yep, but if that person relies on its parents and need their permission they're most likely pretty young anyway

[hard crane]

I'll see if I can do it later

[lofty karma]

some old games cant be bought and needed to be pirated

either way the devs might not even giving a f about it

[amber mirage]

Piracy talk breaks the rules of this server

[round laurel]

Heroes can be bought

It's 15 quid on Steam for the HD edition.

[lofty karma]

nvm mthen

[lofty karma]

he mentioned it.

lmao

[hasty zinc]

it doesn't matter who mentioned it

[fickle drift]

Brotherhood was alright. Rome felt a bit samey compared to the cities of 2.

[lofty karma]

what abotu fallout new vegas, flatout 2,

[ocean herald]

NV is great, never heard of the other one

[lofty karma]

flatout 2 is a destruction action game similar to wreckfest.

[ocean herald]

And you said you just have 12 euros?

[lofty karma]

yes, sir.

[ocean herald]

I’d buy an rpg, since you’ll probably get more playtime out of it

[lofty karma]

okay what rpg.

[ocean herald]

I already gave you a few suggestions

[lofty karma]

vegas?

[ocean herald]

NV for sure if you haven’t played it

[lofty karma]

i did play it

[ocean herald]

Deus ex human revolution is good

[hard crane]

You think he'll run the original Dragon Age?

[ocean herald]

He prob could. It’s not graphically intensive I don’t think

[lofty karma]

whats that

[ocean herald]

I wasn’t sure if that one was on sale though

[hard crane]

An RPG, Witcher-like

[lofty karma]

isnt.

[hard crane]

Oh, you can also try Dungeon Siege

[lofty karma]

what that

[hard crane]

Similar to Dragon Age

[lofty karma]

how much play time is it normally

[hasty zinc]

you can get fallout 4 and all DLC for 9.99 rn

[ocean herald]

Scepter you have to google some of this stuff dude 😭

[fickle drift]

Bro Dishonored Definitive edition is £3.99 right now holy

[hard crane]

Which of them?

[ocean herald]

I recc that one as well

[lofty karma]

1

[ocean herald]

The problem is he can’t run a lot of the newer games

[lofty karma]

sorry

[hard crane]

Dragon Age 1? I'd say... You can probably get 40, 50 hours out of it
Haven't played it for some long time tho, so I don't recall correctly

[lofty karma]

none of em are on sale

[hard crane]

You can probably still find keys in dirt cheap prices.

[lofty karma]

mb dude but i have the money already in steam

[fickle drift]

It’s an fps focused sale on Steam rn so if you want an rpg you might want to wait a bit

[hard crane]

In that case, you might want to wait for the next big sale

[lofty karma]

f

[hard crane]

Which is in.. June 27th.

[lofty karma]

i cant wait that long 😭

[hard crane]

I'm afraid you don't have many choices

[lofty karma]

its over

[hard crane]

Have some patience, young Padawan

[lofty karma]

impossible

[lofty karma]

oh..

should i just buy new vegas and done.

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm just gonna throw in you should try the deadspace remake if it goes on sale

[hard crane]

I mean you definitely can just buy one game now, but you can also wait for a sale and get multiple games

[hard crane]

Idk if they'll run it without a card

[lofty karma]

i have nun to play tho.

[hard crane]

You have zero games rn?

[obsidian wyvern]

oh they don't have a GPU?

[lofty karma]

my pc will be a spacex spaceship

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[lofty karma]

i do have 50 gmes on steam but most of them are completed.

some are just boring

[hard crane]

I see
I'll dm you in a sec

[lofty karma]

ok.

[fickle drift]

Check the specs for Dishonored, it’s dirt cheap rn and a lot of content with the expansions.

It’s got some flaws but otherwise is a great stealth / action game

[lofty karma]

i know it, great game.

im careful with what i am buyng

huh

[timber flint]

If Alonso has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Alonso has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Alonso has only one fan then that is me. If Alonso has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Alonso, then I am against the world.

[round laurel]

@lofty karma

• Undertale.
• Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl.
• FTL: Faster Than Light.
• Darkwood.
• Bioshock Remastered.
• Dishonored.

I just went through my game ratings and they should all be affordable on Steam and a good time.

[lofty karma]

stalker shadow of chernobyl had my eye for a few months..

what is bioshock btw

[hasty zinc]

a great franchise

[round laurel]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/409710/BioShock_Remastered/

An amazing shooter that received critical acclaim and still holds up today.

[lofty karma]

sorry for taking ur time im a hard person for choosing games and im really careful on what im buying.

[fickle drift]

Even if you can’t run remastered because it is a bit buggy the original is included with the purchase so

[hard crane]

Bioshock is amazing.

[lofty karma]

bioshock kinda has my eye lol.

[fickle drift]

I’ll echo everyone else, it’s a fantastic game

[lofty karma]

it looks very good..

[iron sage]

So, work has been super busy the last 2 weeks and I ended up not finishing the gruntpocalypse event.

Is it possible to buy the operation passes after they've ended?

[round laurel]

Yes.

It's still ongoing though.

[lofty karma]

i might just buy new vegas and bioshock.

[amber mirage]

I hold the unpopular opinion that I didn't think Bioshock was all that good

[round laurel]

I thought you already played New Vegas?

[lofty karma]

on epic games but not alot.

[lofty karma]

if that isnt then what is 😭

[amber mirage]

I mean, I'm not saying you shouldn't try it. If it seems interesting to you, go for it.

[iron sage]

Oh, I thought it ended on the 16th. Sweet!

And thank you for the reply! 🙂

[ocean herald]

Bioshock infinite is amazing. 1 & 2 are good but they are “older”

[lofty karma]

you think its worth it rebuying new vegas?

[amber mirage]

I thought you said you already had it?

[lofty karma]

on epic games..

[amber mirage]

Then why rebuy it?

If money is tight, rebuying it seems like a poor investment

[ocean herald]

If you already have it, then no

[lofty karma]

okay

[ocean herald]

Did you buy it on epic and refund? Or like you actively own it

[amber mirage]

It was given out for free a while back, I assume that's how they got it

[ocean herald]

Ah makes sense

[lofty karma]

i had it for free

[round laurel]

Then it makes no sense to buy it.

[lofty karma]

ok

[obsidian wyvern]

have u played portal

[lofty karma]

i cant decide now

[plucky slate]

like double kill triple kill kill tacular type beat the sounds of the guys u feel me

need them on my sound board fr

[round laurel]

Where can I listen to the sound effects?

[hasty zinc]

in a voice chat under soundboard

[steep zealot]

Listening to MW2 2009 soundtrack while playing grunt firefight is satisfying

Just wish to play like Vladimir Makorov in a Spartan Suit. He’s deadlier than the Master Chief in that

[obsidian wyvern]

good race track

probably my favourite actually

[obsidian wyvern]

in this server?

[lofty karma]

no

[lofty karma]

ok chat might officialy be buying vegas and ac 2

I thought you already had it

oh my days i do but i dont like epic games that much cuz of many reasons

[obsidian wyvern]

bruh

[lofty karma]

what?

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern helodinph

[obsidian wyvern]

epics launcher isn't even that bad

[elfin glacier]

it's very baaaaaaad

[ocean herald]

You can add non steam games to steam tho 😔

[obsidian wyvern]

not to the point where you feel the need to buy a game again when you have nothing to spend anyway

no offense lol

[round laurel]

Buying Vegas when you already have it for free is a really illogical move when you're tight for money.

[elfin glacier]

tru

[ocean herald]

Just add the exe to steam and you don’t even have to look at the epic launcher

[lofty karma]

oh..?

Whatever you have installed is accessible

[steep zealot]

Remember no Grussian

[lofty karma]

ok

But but but the good people of Reddit told me the game is too boring to have mods

[faint mantle]

Can't relate, I have like 40 installed

[hard crane]

I might have to cave in and buy it after playing it for 60ish hours on gamepass

[ocean herald]

I don’t think it was bad, especially given how much content it is, but after about 15 hrs I couldn’t help but feel I was just playing Skyrim in space. The ship building is probably its coolest feature. I was a bit bothered with how many loading screens there are and the planet exploration isn’t what I expected

[amber mirage]

I don't know why anyone expected anything other than Skyrim in space

[winter flame]

the planets are the biggest let down, and if you look at the concept art you can see its far from what they wanted it to be

[ocean herald]

It was oversold big time

[ocean herald]

It was overly Skyrim-like ig? The fact your character is special and can collect abilities felt very dragonborn to me lol

[obsidian wyvern]

I think I remember saying I'm going in with no expectations at all which might be why I liked it more than others

[fickle drift]

Dm for co-op

[obsidian wyvern]

same with how I didn't see any of the hunt the truth ads for 5

[amber mirage]

Bethesda's RPGs are all pretty similar to each other. I went in expecting that, and that's what I got for the 5 hours I played.

[faint mantle]

I didn't watch too many trailers, and it was my first Bethesda game

[hasty zinc]

I thought it was great

[ocean herald]

To be clear, I think it’s an ok game but not revolutionary. The ad for it glazes it up like it’s a genre defining game

[hasty zinc]

glazes?

[ocean herald]

It’s an expression. To glaze something up is to talk highly of it

[hasty zinc]

interesting

[ocean herald]

I googled it and it’s probably better defined as “to over praise, over compliment”

[hasty zinc]

noted

[ocean herald]

Apparently it’s a twitch thing, but I heard it on YT

[cedar turret]

I’ll keep that in mind next time someone offers me a glazed donut

[hasty zinc]

another entry to my cool kids dictionary

[amber mirage]

Back in my day, people said "gas up." None of this extra letter nonsense with "glaze"

[ocean herald]

I’m familiar with gas up

[obsidian wyvern]

https://vxtwitter.com/GmanLives/status/1780360543368585684?t=wYJywdWKbifib0wFgx7aEg&s=19

star wars version of the halo marine flood horror game

[cedar turret]

That’s not surprising I have to do it at least once every other week with two to three vehicles

[hasty zinc]

that's a lot of gas

[amber mirage]

How long until Disney issues a takedown?

[cedar turret]

My car does use more than it’s fair share

[ocean herald]

This is the ad I mean btw https://imgur.com/a/6N0uYnL

[fickle drift]

I'm stuck on why the blaster bolts are purple tbh

Or why it says 'survive as long as you can' before starting a countdown

[cedar turret]

Purple is cool.

No other reason is necessary

[warm delta]

Has anyone ran into a game with a random toxic player in halo?

[cedar turret]

No. Never in twenty plus years

[forest canopy]

i don't play oneline- i replay the campaigns

[bold sparrow]

Not toxic. Annoying, at worst.

[warm delta]

Well I just found my first one. Some guy with 21 kills 6 death talking trash she the guy watching the flag with a sniper.

That on the same team

[calm fiber]

[bold sparrow]

Okay...so?

I had someone tell me to go swallow hydrogen peroxide last night cause I was doing my job (IE; watching the flag) instead of pushing for the enemies.
Apparently not noticing that his inatention to the flag situation nearly resulted in us loosing it to the enemy twice, and was only stopped thanks to my intervention.

Still doestn count as toxic, thats just annoying.

[warm delta]

Okay, that fair. But if you going to be annoying why do it in halo. The only chill game with no drama.

[bold sparrow]

Because its a game. Period.
People are going to be like that. Its inevitable.

[warm delta]

Alright I'm going to run another match on btb

[cedar turret]

A free for all so mute them all

[warm delta]

It was in the chat box

[cedar turret]

Pretty sure you don’t have to open that. And if anyone engages in misconduct you can report them via live

[warm delta]

It was too close to the end of the match

Well... I was trying to say something like: good Night, kill covenants all Night but in my head it sounded better... 😂 So I'll say my classic...

Good night Spartans!

[bold sparrow]

How the hell do people just...not let loosing in games get to them.
I try my best to let it pass through but it still feels like a personal insult.

[graceful inlet]

Nope 😁

[round laurel]

The idea and name is borrowed from the book Death Troopers. It's actually quite good.

[round laurel]

In Infinite? Probably once or twice.
Rare, very rare.

[bold sparrow]

Most of the more vocal complainers moved to other games because Infinite was a "dead game" (read; not throwing events at them every week to keep them invested and their shortend attention span requires constant feeding)

That said those that are still here tend to be calcified

[hard crane]

There are 3 different games I can think about this is a jab at

[bold sparrow]

Five come to mind.
Honestly I rather appriciate the fact that I dnt have to feel like playing a game is a job.
I do what I want to do and I get the weeklies and the pass rewards. No fuss and no complications.

[hard crane]

That mindset died the moment live service became a thing

[worldly sedge]

I saw this one StarShip Troopers meme where Johnny Rico has the CE Marin green visor edited and says to the camera:

“I’m from Reach and I say Kill ‘Em All!”

[forest lagoon]

I don't let losing get to me as long as I feel like I contributed to something. I can't control my teammates and what they do so a loss isn't actually a reflection of me. It's more of a how can I play my best with the cards dealt to me and how can I overcome if I'm in a situation that seems hopeless.

[hard crane]

So keanu reeves is playing Shadow the hedgehog, lets talk about that.

[bold sparrow]

You think they're gonna give him the pump action MP5?

[hard crane]

idk, but including Maria now feels right in context

[bold sparrow]

RIP to the poor kids watching this and bout to see her get gunned down...

[hard crane]

lmao i'm gonna go watch it day one just to see their reactions.

but I doubt it'll make me laugh like that day I went to see sausage party and some parents figured out not every animated movie is for kids.

[obsidian wyvern]

surely there was an 18+ age rating for it

[bold sparrow]

You think parents pay attnetion to ratings?
You think most parents have the bandwith to comprehend that, and take their kids to movies because they want to have a family outing?

Most of em take them there to keep em entertained for two hours or something.

[hard crane]

There was, but like Orca said parents don't really give a damn

and the enforcement in the middle east isn't that great to begin with

[bold sparrow]

Its only gotten worse as time has gone on, tbh.
If I had to guess though, if she does get shot, it will be a gory disgresion shot and we wont actually see it.

In truth, Im okay with that, because if they do it right we can see the emotional damage Shadow suffers as he witnesses it.
And the animators for the movies have shown consistenly they know how to do emotion on a CGI animal good

[hard crane]

Which is highly ironic, considering Sonic's first look

(I still think they just completely replaced the animation team tbh)

[candid solar]

I still find it funny how the intro cutscene implies Sonic got his brains blown out by Shadow.

[bold sparrow]

Very on brand for Shadow tho
The First Edgelord xd

[elfin glacier]

you seriously underestimate how dumb some people can be

in the steam forums for baldurs gate 3, a game rated M by the ESRB, some weird guy was raging about how Larian was evil for putting adult content in a game "directed at children"

[bold sparrow]

It's been this way since ratings came out

[elfin glacier]

the esrb itself was an industry response to angry dumb parents who wanted to abdicate any responsibility for raising their children to others

[granite sky]

dumb people are great they give me hope

[elfin glacier]

"oh no mortal kombat is violent (it is, even if it was low rez/low fidelity), what if little Timmy sees this???? clearly the solution isn't for me, his parent, to take responsibility but blame the developers or something!!!!"

[candid solar]

Why?

[hard crane]

probably because every time I see a dumb person doing something stupid, I feel better about myself

[cedar turret]

Too easy 🪞

Just hit my first ever Fastball

[floral pollen]

bro y'all still got Target down there?

we just got Walmart

[elfin glacier]

remember the whole GameStop reddit thing

there's still people who are true believers in GameStop, one of the reasons being "people still want physical media"

[obsidian wyvern]

which one lol

[elfin glacier]

the stock thing that happened in '21

[candid solar]

Welp

Time to start checking out clearance for Target lmao

[elfin glacier]

https://bstock.com/target/auction/auction/view/id/107844/

[pliant hatch]

ugh, hate that everything is just moving to be online

[elfin glacier]

just make sure you have protective gloves and plenty of sanitizing agents

[obsidian wyvern]

ah yes

[elfin glacier]

yeah honestly same but it's hard to beat the convenience of digital

especially for producers (devs/pubs)

massive logistical overheads, just poof

[pliant hatch]

when ww5 happens and the internet gets nuked, people will pay me good money to watch some crappy dvd movie. I'll have the last laugh.

[cold mesa]

hey ive got a question is master cheif in halo infinite if so how do you get him

[pliant hatch]

? he's the main character

[civic urchin]

What about the other world wars 💀

[obsidian wyvern]

get hero rank

[cold mesa]

hero rank in what i just got yesterday

[pliant hatch]

oh, you meant the armor

[obsidian wyvern]

you level up for just playing the game, get the last rank and you can get his armour

[pliant hatch]

don't think they'll want to get rid of it in those, lol.

[civic urchin]

Bro we should go back to the Iron Age

[floral pollen]

oh btw @obsidian wyvern, if you have another spot to fill on that bingo card you were making:
