general-chat

[thorny glen]

warthog wheels are basically airless tires

we do have some existing examples in the modern day but no where near as resilient

brackish or salt water, just about any type of water the warthog can run on it

beyond that everything else in it is very possible to make today

i think we could even make a faster warthog with modern tech lol

faster then what's available in halo lore

[obsidian wyvern]

ravager bug still kicking

[barren haven]

What am I looking at?

Or I guess looking for

[obsidian wyvern]

the alt fire for ravager blocks everything, so the repair field is stuck on its invisible wall

[barren haven]

Oh weird

[graceful inlet]

Good night Spartans!
(and our marines 🫂)

[weary gust]

When I first saw that helmet, I thought "oh gross". When I read the lore of that helmet, my opinion changed completely, it looks weird and creepy so it fits its job. This artist made changes to it to make it more traditional, I feel like the teeth are absolutely necessary though: https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/kn3gr3/i_present_to_you_hivemind_modified_to_fit_with/

It makes me think of how neat a Metroid II style Halo side-mode would be, where you're part of a Hivemind extermination team and have to explore a large open area hunting and purging Flood.

Of the Halo Online armor available in the Master Chief Collection, Pioneer is my favorite, I use its helmet and forearms: https://www.halopedia.org/PIONEER-class_Mjolnir#/media/File%3AHTMCC_H3_Pioneer_Crop.png

[worldly sedge]

Yeah I’ve seen that and it’s probably because of the new net code. One hand it can protect you from grenades and such lol but on the other it can be inconvenient

[hard crane]

Good night

[candid solar]

It always made me a little annoyed that people were so annoyed by decisions that have an obvious purpose. Like, I would totally get Hivemind having its original uncomfortable appearance because of what it's designed to handle.

another example is legionnaire, because it's designed in a way that makes sense for what it is; A generic suit themed after roman legionnaires.

[worldly sedge]

When will Seeker helmet come back to Infinite?

(This is a joke by the way)

[twin salmon]

Anybody know of any clans or groups that play halo infinite? Trying to find a tribe to game with

[hasty zinc]

#1076334026090094602

[candid solar]

Shouldn't be. It needs to be bacj.

[worldly sedge]

Looking like Squidward’s helmet

[obsidian wyvern]

it came back with chimera

[candid solar]

That's engineer with a faceplate, not seeker.

[worldly sedge]

My friends and I are betting the last Armor core is gonna be Mjolnir Mark VI Gen 1

[obsidian wyvern]

nuh uh

[hasty zinc]

seeker at home

[obsidian wyvern]

it's all you deserve anyway

[candid solar]

Y'all watched too much of that 'inside out boy' show

[left bone]

i love trolling clans

those 19 year old neets and their fake militaries

[worldly sedge]

I can’t do clans because I’m lazy

[left bone]

one word and they'll start yellling

[hard crane]

The last armor core will obviously be Kwan Ha

[left bone]

so like
theyre gonna rip kwan ha's flesh and bone and put it over a spartan?

[hard crane]

Exactly.

[worldly sedge]

😂

[left bone]

thats gonna sell millions

[hard crane]

I mean, ripping her flesh and bones is what most of the fanbase wants anyway

[left bone]

wait really?

[hard crane]

Have you missed the weekly call outs for her character to be killed off immediately?

[obsidian wyvern]

honestly don't get what her story was meant to add to the show

[left bone]

i didnt get it either

[hard crane]

I still think ||she was supposed to prophesize the flood|| but they haven't figured it out until it was too late to stretch it like it should have

[obsidian wyvern]

spoiler territory I think

idk how long that's gonna be a thing here

[hard crane]

The whole "moving her to floating rock planet to live with Soren" thing was dumb

[left bone]

it really waz

[hard crane]

How long a spoiler remains a spoiler tho

Because sure, I'll respect someone not catching up for a day or two or even a week but haven't the season ended 2 or 3 weeks ago?

[worldly sedge]

Last armor core is actually Halo 4/5 Mark VI Gen 2

[hasty zinc]

until #halo-the-series-spoiler-chat goes down

[worldly sedge]

That’s Gen 2 right?

[weary gust]

I feel like this is something Halo Infinite has done amazingly with their helmets, it's very difficult not to get its vibe.

[hard crane]

So forever, gotcha
I'll mark my spoiler ig

btw unpopular opinion alert, I dig the whole fractions-armor cores aren't really canon thing, some designs (Yoroi and Hazmat for example) have some magnificent visual potential

[left bone]

i agree

but some halo fans really dont read the thin lines when it comes to facture cores

like bro, they arent canon, calm down lol

[hard crane]

Average Halo fan when they encounter something that isn't canon:

[left bone]

(my favorite fracture core is chimera btw)

[hard crane]

https://tenor.com/view/black-kid-got-scared-gif-20644242

[worldly sedge]

My friends and I also speculate that you can unlock the armor kits so you can mix & match with the helmets. Like for instance the Halo CE you put a Commander helmet and you can cosplay as Fred from the novels.

[hard crane]

Funny enough Chimera is my least liked core, but I get what they tried to go at with it

[left bone]

i felt really comfortable with halo 5's armor so that's why i liked chimera

[hard crane]

It's just not visually appealing to me

[left bone]

it is to me

wait a dang minute

i don't think theres enough rewards for uhh

career ranks

all you get are lame stickers until you get the master chief armor

like they could've at least put some more coatings or few helmets on each rank

[worldly sedge]

Stickers are pretty cool in real life

I used to have a drawer as kid and over the span of a decade I had like so many stickers decorating it

[left bone]

true

but halo inf's stickers should be utilized more

[ornate sequoia]

imagine you can spraypaint the sticker in the enemy base

[left bone]

like i wanna put all the stickers on my spartan like a nascar car

sponsored spartan

like take armored core 6's decal/sticker customization for example

you can put shapes, images, or whateeever on your mech

and it'll look a lot better

(i.e. a mech looking like it's fit for construction jobs)

[livid oyster]

I don’t buy it either. I definitely need a video, because that sounds way too good to be true

[worldly sedge]

I haven’t completed Armor Core VI yet

[left bone]

you should

(just dont try to cry when you go to new game and new game plus.)

[worldly sedge]

I just been on and off with it

Mech games aren’t my niche but it’s pretty cool

[left bone]

im obsessed with anything that has to do with robots or mecha in general

[fleet pumice]

Halo TV show being in an alternate universe is the best thing that ever happened to canon, cuz at least as much as I have a personal dislike for the "Reclaimer Saga" [aka the 343 era games], we at least can all agree that the show was utterly horrid and should probably be canceled or at the very least be made either a dream or a simulation where chief was just being clever by acting dumb to the covenant who have him imprisoned on board.

and at least the reclaimer saga had it's fun and good moments as much as i dislike it

[why not discuss it on the halo tv show spoilers] simple, im not spoiling it am i

[ocean herald]

There’s also a non spoiler channel for the show https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/936817367269384212

[fleet pumice]

Thanks for telling me, other than rants I wouldn't use it much I guess.

[as its a horrid disgrace and has NO redeeming qualities unlike the 343 games which altho flawed at least have some good qualities]

[hasty zinc]

so anyway

I'm hungry

[cedar turret]

you should fix that, make some frog legs

[fleet pumice]

#1. Halo 4 was literal fanfiction but hey at least it has some emotion to the story along with trying to do worldbuilding, now is it perfect? No. Great? No. Good? No. It's just okay and mid for the story, multiplayer was trash and it's a horrid disgrace compared to Halo Reach, but that was down to what it plagarized, not the original idea, now did call of duty 4 outsell halo 3? yeah by a bit, but one thing the devs forgot is that Halo 3 was the best selling Halo game ever, so simply adding onto it and not taking away certain aspects would've helped the game quite a bit. [Also this is literally constructive criticism and the worst I'm doing is insulting the product so...]

Plus as copycat as spartan ops is ripping off spec ops from call of duty, the missions were fun and in my opinion fit the maps they used better than the campaign that had their maps reused for it.

[hasty zinc]

TIL saying something is trash is constructive

[fleet pumice]

For short calling it trash without breaking it down is not constructive, calling it trash along with breaking down the reasons is constructive.

[hasty zinc]

alright

[robust spear]

Guys, is it just me or does it feel like halo fell off?

[fleet pumice]

#2. Halo 5 is basically a rip off of Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare, how? The movement mechanics for Spartan IVs seem to be like just shielded versions of the exosuit they use in that game.

Also not to mention we all know the story so I have no need to call it bad, we know it is.

[hasty zinc]

I don't think it was bad

[fleet pumice]

#3. Halo Infinite basically opened up like Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with a faction in the spinoff game that literally is just an edgier "the covenant" remnant just suddenly growing all high and mighty and beating our heros almost effortlessly like the first order.

Not to mention the person who went missing, Atriox, beat chief at the start and was never seen again, I can understand him being missing but possible clues to that could occur like maybe infiltrating an outpost and checking an outpost console

[elfin glacier]

literal fanfiction

yet more proof the fanbase has a tenuous grasp of literacy

[fleet pumice]

that clues to where they wound up at possibly, so when him being there to kill cortana

you feel like that is where it led up and that he found her before you could.

So when chief having failed cortana would hit even more since he would realize he couldn't save her twice now.

but nope just have atriox pop up out of nowhere while the banished call him missing

[elfin glacier]

i see it's the time of day that "people" barge in and demand their subjective opinions be treated as fact

[fleet pumice]

yet all you said was subjective

i broke down why im OBJECTIVELY right, you can even check the documentaries yourself of halo 4 and 5.

They said they hired people who hated halo and liked call of duty

For me I personally like call of duty with some mechanics, but I am gonna call out what I see no matter what.

[elfin glacier]

actually no?

• The fanbase struggles with reading (known)
• it is a regular occurance that people barge in here and state their personal opinions as fact

[hasty zinc]

people do really just cut out the rest of that quote huh?

[elfin glacier]

documentaries
low quality subjective rants by talentless YouTube sharecroppers aren't documentaries

[fleet pumice]

So you hate the fans of halo because you call them illiterate, yet they use evidence that is not only in the books, but also in terminals and other content that is text only? By your logic, maybe bungie thought forerunners were never human

[obsidian wyvern]

perish

[hasty zinc]

rev get the bingo card

we're gonna hit em all

[fleet pumice]

Also cannot forget that said documents are by 343 themselves behind the scenes, it is evidence of their own.

[floral pollen]

I been playing too well and missed 69,420 score until I rank up

[elfin glacier]

you pretend that the all of fans who trot out the DAE BOOKS "evidence" (what happened to The Games Supersede The Books?) actually read the books and didn't just hear the talking point regurgitated elsewhere

[hasty zinc]

reach had loadouts

[desert dust]

(its 10000% not true)

[elfin glacier]

ah, the moron's gambit
"if yuo ban me im rite!!!!!!"

[fleet pumice]

So by your logic, humans STILL are forerunners since the games seem to have the exact same evidence like humans able to interact with forerunner tech, monitors welcoming humans as "reclaimer" etc.

[obsidian wyvern]

guess I should actually finish that bingo card

[hasty zinc]

rev add forerunners =/= humans to the card

and call of duty if it's not there

[obsidian wyvern]

oh the forerunner human discussion is there already

[amber mirage]

Everything just got ticked off all at once

[hasty zinc]

oh good

[ocean herald]

Such a self persecution complex lol. You’re also just talking to like 5 people, not the whole fanbase 😂

[tired pond]

Hi

[hasty zinc]

so you get a warning about talking about moderation and then talk about moderation

[elfin glacier]

reddit moment

[worldly sedge]

I’m still reading the Fall of Reach novel and it’s been very compelling.

[floral pollen]

I pinged you yesterday with one, idk if u saw it

[obsidian wyvern]

didn't u miss one of noble teams older members

[fleet pumice]

Deleted comment over stating that I am following the rules

[obsidian wyvern]

don't think so

[fleet pumice]

like how i am 100% obediant by giving constructive criticism.

[hasty zinc]

and continue to talk about it

[amber mirage]

I felt the same when I was reading through it for the first time not too long ago

[candid solar]

Surprised they didn't get banned yet tbh.

[ornate sequoia]

Oracle in Halo 3 "You... Are.. Forerunner"

[floral pollen]

"I thought ___ was coming out today"

[worldly sedge]

Also why are there two different book covers?

[hasty zinc]

yoink

[amber mirage]

It got reprinted

[fleet pumice]

Sure, name what rule i broke

[elfin glacier]

the oracle in h3 is crazy, next

[tired pond]

Idk?

[obsidian wyvern]

is it bad that I knew what it was with the thumbnail lol

[candid solar]

Oracle in Halo 3; Literally quotes gollum, screams, explodes, literally goes insane over his degenerate ring lust

[elfin glacier]

yes

[obsidian wyvern]

someone verify whether rosenda was part of noble team

[worldly sedge]

Ah okay, this was probably after when The Fall of Reach animated movie came out so they changed the armor design from Mark V CE to Mark IV

[candid solar]

She was.

[worldly sedge]

Mark IV is still cool though

[elfin glacier]

i was first trenchy

[candid solar]

And yet I'm still cooler, AC

[elfin glacier]

trenchie wenchie

[ornate sequoia]

Loved it. I love the crazy stuff

[amber mirage]

I think it was actually earlier than that, but I'd need to double check

[worldly sedge]

I’m actually Noble Seven

[hasty zinc]

AC is indeed cool

but you know, I have a question about that

when people say AC like air conditioning

they think of cooling

[elfin glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/air-conditioner-blowing-bed-room-gif-1956330387237363874

[onyx moth]

waddup

[candid solar]

The only AC I'm not cooler than is Armored Core.

[amber mirage]

What if I conditioned the air to be warm?

[elfin glacier]

my honest reaction

[hasty zinc]

but could it not also be heating since the name implies that it just conditions the air

[onyx moth]

i need friends to play w cuz all my friends are cod losers

[hasty zinc]

exactly!!

[tired pond]

I’m going by the game so I never knew that

[hasty zinc]

I had this convo with my wife the other day at the store

[obsidian wyvern]

today you learned

[amber mirage]

When the air gets conditioned, is it Pavlovian? Or something else?

[tired pond]

Thank you

[hasty zinc]

idk but as a kid every time I turned the AC on I fell asleep

[ocean herald]

I usually use ac to mean cool but ig it applies to both. I’m just so used to saying “turn on the heater” when I’m meaning hot

[onyx moth]

where can i find friends to play w

i was gonna say, it getting to an account that big on twitter is impressive

[hasty zinc]

best Jorge cosplay

[ocean herald]

We probably have similar Twitter algorithms when it comes to halo

[livid oyster]

So when is 343 bringing back noble 6

[elfin glacier]

tomorrow

[candid solar]

First response is a guy who is totally 6' whatever and 350+ pounds (It's all muscle I swear) who says we're already in WW3 saying "Waste of time"

That's kinda cringe.

[hasty zinc]

but for real, that's awesome cosplay of Jorge

[left bone]

i wanna punch him

[hasty zinc]

jealous of talented people like that

[candid solar]

https://vxtwitter.com/rainmaker1973/status/1780970350735491288?s=46&t=chRvfy9tnkf8kgwBe-KSug

whoa nice

[livid oyster]

That is nice

[left bone]

i wish i could make a cosplay as good as that

[floral pollen]

I know that dude I'm pretty sure lol

[candid solar]

It's a nice cosplay

[obsidian wyvern]

the proportions are perfect. one of the best spartan cosplays ive seen

[livid oyster]

I remember an old video of someone in a hulk buster suit that was like 9 and a half feet tall, some people are super creative

[hasty zinc]

the hunter cosplay

that was awesome too

[obsidian wyvern]

this dudes too

[left bone]

someone's makin an actual spartan suit thats functional

[left bone]

helmet's done, and it works inside n' out

[livid oyster]

Never seen a hunter cosplay. How people make those bulky suits moveable is beyond me

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah the hunter one was wild

shes done other halo cosplays but i forgot her account name

[left bone]

one word

magic

[hasty zinc]

nothing beats the H3 rat cosplay tho

[candid solar]

Do they already have their obituary pre-planned?

[lapis ivy]

That's a paper mache rat or origami paper?

[hearty phoenix]

so im in a 4v4 right now and these people are on top of map ( highground from h3 refueled ), we cannot get a score on them because they're hiding. I can't send screenshots but I took a few, has anyone else seen this?

the game is at a complete stalemate because of this

[twin salmon]

Have you tried asking them to come down?

[hasty zinc]

wait, how is Dune part 2 out digitally already?

[ocean herald]

That’s pretty good, well done

Shoutout to the Halo cosplayers

Would dress as Mjolnir Mark V Halo CE

[shell forge]

sir you can do it

there is an entire group of halo cosplayers called the 405th, if you wanna make a mark V from CE thats the place to start

[cosmic ore]

Anyone around really good at Halo Infinite's forge scripting?

[oblique slate]

I'm not I'm sorry. And I don't want to ask my question cause it might take away attention from yours

[cosmic ore]

You can go ahead lmao, I think 99% of all players in this server won't even know what Halo Infinite's scripting looks like.

[oblique slate]

Well if you insist. Thank you lol

Hi everyone.

I just barely got an Xbox and Halo Infinite last week. I haven't played any ranked games. I want to finish campaign and get familiar with power ups first.

DM me to team up with a noob

[remote jungle]

i hate the flood part of halo ce

[covert dove]

[faint mantle]

That's like the second half lol

[granite sky]

good color choice it fits well i think!

[desert dust]

so 50% of the game 😂😂

[remote jungle]

so im almost done

[desert dust]

which level?

[remote jungle]

well rn im on two betrayals

[desert dust]

difficulty?

[remote jungle]

uhh

easy (i suck at the game)

[livid oyster]

If you beat the game on laso with a guitar hero controller they’ll give you inheritor role

[desert dust]

u like 75% done

[remote jungle]

will the flood ever make a comeback

[desert dust]

yes for the rest of the game

[remote jungle]

what about after halo 3

[desert dust]

well halo 2 is after ce

[remote jungle]

theres gotta be a reason why we dont see thim in halo infinite

[livid oyster]

Flood is still out there, but just not an immediate threat like in the first 3

[desert dust]

but in halo 3 flood are more prevalent

[remote jungle]

im waiting for halo 3 to download so i can play MP

[exotic bramble]

Halo 3 recon

[livid oyster]

I remember when recon was the coolest armor and no one knew how to get it

[remote jungle]

i had it

i just woke up and it was just in my customization options

somehow

[quick rose]

Ughhh these wait times for matchmaking in infinite can be annoying

[candid solar]

Bungie gave it to everybody on their way out.

[remote jungle]

oh that explains it

[candid solar]

Ditto with the flaming head chest armor.

[livid oyster]

Oh damn, I must have stopped playing before that

[candid solar]

I also recall their being a bug where your kit would go to default instead of keeping the recon in-game

[livid oyster]

Yo I remember in the early days when me and friends ran into someone with a flaming helmet and we swore we found a hacker

[remote jungle]

i lost the account i had recon on

i just forgot the password one day and it was just all gone

[livid oyster]

I still wish I was using my og xbox account but it kind of got banned for like a year, was never given a timeframe or reason originally so I just made a new one

[remote jungle]

you should probably check on it

[livid oyster]

I checked on it about year maybe 2 later and it was unbanned

[remote jungle]

are you using it now?

[livid oyster]

My online subscription was on my dads debit card and he switched banks, but the subscription was still on his old card, so I basically got like a year of free online gaming before they figured that out

[remote jungle]

is that how you got banned?

ngl, i think i wanna work for 343 one day

[livid oyster]

Within that year or two I had another account I racked up a lot of games and friends on it so I didn’t feel like switching back. And yes, that’s why I got banned lol

[remote jungle]

damn i guess 343 is based in washington

was just looking at the job apps

[civic urchin]

They are

[remote jungle]

Good Morning Spartans!

Reporting for duty!

[harsh timber]

Hey everyone!!

[dusty peak]

Would be nice if a unsc pelican was in destiny 2 as a jump ship, and like a hover type warthog or mongoose as a sparrow and something from halo as a ghost shell. And have like a cosmetics armor type bundle. Like infinite chief armor look for Titan, halo 2/3 or 5 arbiter armor for hunter and maybe harbinger armor look for warlock. Figure I suggest a idea. As mass effect did a Collab with destiny 2 and mass effect I love it series and prefer mass effect 3 tbh. But have the bundle that has the Normandy ship In it as a jump jet ship, edi as a ghost Shell, and a weird mako tank look sparrow. And armor cosmetics as titan bundle as the N7 commander Shepard armor, hunter as garruis vakarian, and warlock as liara tasoni

[exotic bramble]

Helloo

Always give marines your rocket launcher no excuses

[exotic bramble]

School when ai: I am ordering you to surrender that ai

[soft kiln]

since when do we have ODST maps in gruntpocalypse? 😄 😄

[exotic bramble]

ODST where??

[soft kiln]

in infinite

[exotic bramble]

I need heroes of reach

Hell jumping:D

[soft kiln]

well,that was the weirdest game. suddenly in odst firefight with a lot of grunts. or maybe we have this map in some other modes that i just havent played?certainly havent seen this in gruntpocalypse before. it was a good map,even got the hog from the garage in later rounds

the map name was rendezvous firefight

[mild sleet]

I have a problem and I need help

So basically I’m on pc steam version and my customization area will not load at all its just a black screen with the halo loading symbol but it lets me play, buy stuff, and all other stuff except the customization area

[gaunt saddle]

What did the Gravemind mean by the casket in one of his dialogues?

[fickle drift]

Well what is a casket?

[fierce steppe]

Man I wish we got something like Spartan ops for infinite. The multiplayer/academy story was so boring. It would’ve been really cool to see what the actual UNSC was doing during halo infinite’s campaign like Spartan ops did with halo 4

Plus I’m a sucker for those cinematic cutscenes over the in engine ones

I think we were too harsh on Spartan ops when it came out. Was it better than firefight? Absolutely not but I miss watching those mini episode style cutscenes

[fickle drift]

yeah agreed

[loud vapor]

Why is my Halo infiinite game really white and bright execpt for some bottom parts. Ive tried reducing brightness and exposure but that did nothing

[plain lagoon]

Do you have HDR enabled by accident

Because if you do, and your display isn’t HDR, everything will look way too bright and crushed

Basically this will happen

[loud vapor]

so how to disable

[plain lagoon]

@loud vapor if you’re on console, your video settings. If pc, it’s under system, display, and then there’s an hdr toggle somewhere on there

[loud vapor]

wheres system?

[plain lagoon]

System settings is what I meant

Just your generic windows settings

[loud vapor]

you mean like the app settings?

[loud vapor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xdw6f0WHDNk&ab_channel=YourSixGaming so i watched this video but i dont have the HDR slider???

[worldly sedge]

Yeah hot take in Halo: I liked the Spartan Ops cinematics even if it doesn’t make sense

It’s so cool to see Lasky single handley kill a Promethean knight with an M90 Shotgun

[hoary jacinth]

[worldly sedge]

So far public reaction to me wearing Hero rank armor in Infinite has been here and there.

My friend and I were wearing Mark VI armor kit in a Firefight match once and this random was like, “Two heros wow”

[thorny bough]

Noooo, morning! I don't care that you are in the future

[normal owl]

By the way, the fitness and dieting industries are going to shut me down for this, but I discovered this unbelievable bio-hack for losing 5 lbs in 2 weeks: not eating a package of chocolate every day for weeks straight. Yeah, mind blown.

[civic urchin]

Must be nice to have the ability to gain weight in the first place xD

I eat so much and I can’t pass 170lbs

[worldly sedge]

I lost a few pounds or something just by starving this past year

It’s rough but I must maintain peace within me

[thorny bough]

I cut down on soda and boom lost like 20 pounds from that alone.

[rare cedar]

FINE!! Good morning

[thorny bough]

I bet you are super flexible though 🫶

[normal owl]

YES, pop is a giant that can be felled in one swoop.

[worldly sedge]

I always drink water with every meal or so I eat

Mmmm water

[civic urchin]

I would like some more weight lol
But I’m in ok shape.

[normal owl]

I'm in human shape.

[fickle drift]

I’m in ok shape, as in I look like an O on top of a K

[thorny bough]

Lots and lots of protein 🤌

[covert dove]

[civic urchin]

I mean, my job is physical labor, so I’m in good shape for that. But I don’t look like a gym rat or sm

[normal owl]

That is mouse definitely true.

[civic urchin]

Literally I brought 6 sandwhiches and a bunch of other snacks to one of my jobs last week, and my co-worker really thought that was funny xD

[thorny bough]

I look like a cartoon character ⌛ and hate jeans 🥹 if I smell pie...I gain 10 pounds haha

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah my metabolism is so high so i feel this

[rare cedar]

my metabolism was super fast in my 20's. Hint the word was

[civic urchin]

It’s nice to be able to eat whatever I want, but it still sucks that I have only gained 4lbs in a year lol

[thorny bough]

Have you ever tried protein shakes?

[civic urchin]

I consistently drank those for 6 months and saw almost no gain

[thorny bough]

Oh wow

[civic urchin]

They aren’t cheap for a highschooler anyway lol

[covert dove]

You’re not eating enough calories/working out enough. As someone who struggles to gain weight, it took me eating 4000+ calories a day and working out consistently every week to finally gain weight

Depending on your height and how many calories you burn a day, your average consumption probably needs to be 4000 calories a day

Which you gotta work off or it’ll just turn into fat and end up in your gut lol

[civic urchin]

I was on a 4,000 cal diet a couple years ago, and it did work. But I kinda ran out of money. Working out wouldn’t be a problem, it’s affording the protein that’s a problem.

Stupid prices here are terrible.

I admit I gained about 17lbs in that time

[covert dove]

Yeah protein is not cheap. I went with the mass gainer from GNC, but then I just ate garbage to help bring it up to 4000+ a day. Not ideal and it’s not healthy, but it worked

[thorny bough]

I use whey protein in my morning shakes💪

[covert dove]

Yeah, whey is pretty good for a more concentrated dose of protein

[thorny bough]

Nasty stuff haha

[covert dove]

I imagine so 😂

[normal owl]

This is the whey.

[thorny bough]

No whey 🫵

Depends on the brand. ISO100 goes down pretty smooth. MuscleMilk is chalky like mad.

[granite sky]

185lbs was a nice weight bc every aerobic activity became super easy with training, they become fun!

[normal owl]

I'm sometimes told I'm polished, so that makes sense.

[thorny bough]

Ooooo cool to know, thank you 🫶

[worldly sedge]

I like how fun and chaotic these Custom Games in Infinite are. Having 14 people on House of Reckoning is crazy

[thorny bough]

Haha hell yes

[covert dove]

You gotta try Sumo Bowl

That usually draws in a crowd and is pretty fun

[obsidian wyvern]

i was about to say that

[hard crane]

Why listen to Taylor Swift albums when you can have a loop of Helldivers's theme?

I can’t even play the game, so what’s the point

Only one I tried was Ground Zeroes on a trial and I evacuated with the helicopter by mistake

Blaring Heavens Divide as if I had succeeded lol

were u not supposed to lol

[fickle drift]

Idk man I called it in after saving two guys from prison and as I flew away it was like ‘mission abandoned’ 🥴

Probably was something like "lol this mission is so eas~oh."

We’ll fight the Endless who are even more spooky and bad than the Flood oOooOooOoOoo

[obsidian wyvern]

That was phrased like something was announced and I missed it, just making sure👀

[obsidian wyvern]

would you even play it

[hasty zinc]

maybe

[pulsar mango]

OMGGMGMGMGMGMGM ENDLESS SUPER MEGA THREAT GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW ARE THE MARINES GONNA BEAT THIS ONE (3 AM)

[fickle drift]

Went a bit overboard there friend

[hard crane]

I would try it, for sure

[obsidian wyvern]

would you play any of the previous campaigns lol

[fickle drift]

MCC is on sale right now

[steady jolt]

New campaign is set entirely on Earth.
There are no Covenant or other species
There are no weapons or vehicles
You play as Master Chief struggling to find a job after the collapse of the UNSC

[hard crane]

There's a chance, some day

[hasty zinc]

unironically sounds entertaining

[hard crane]

I actually have MCC, I just couldn't dig it after playing Infinite before

[hasty zinc]

headline news guys

[candid tusk]

No, no it doesn't. lol

[steady jolt]

Master Chief goes for his shopping

[obsidian wyvern]

sounds like me

[hard crane]

Haters gonna hate hate hate

[hasty zinc]

oh I'm not a hater

No silly that’s me 😄

And I'm not a fan, it's practically the only song of her that I know about

[hasty zinc]

I think the only Swift song I can remember is Call me Maybe.

[hasty zinc]

get out

that's Carley Rae Jepsen

[obsidian wyvern]

he was wrong?

[hard crane]

Wrong movie

[hasty zinc]

never watched it

[candid tusk]

Ohhh, that's the artist. I see.

[hard crane]

Same, and yet I know all of it by hand

[obsidian wyvern]

now i cant tell if he was being srs

good job?

[hasty zinc]

NOPE was a great movie though

[hard crane]

Imagine asking someone for a movie recommendation and they type "NOPE", like what the hell did I do to you😭

[hasty zinc]

esp if you recommend them together

[candid tusk]

I know nobody asked, but I will always recommend "Sorry to Bother You" for people over 18.

[hasty zinc]

NOPE, Get Out

[hasty zinc]

it's ok, you're not bothering me

[hard crane]

I can't believe I'm thinking about it for the first time, but calling your movies "nope" and "get out" is smort

[hasty zinc]

Jordan Peele is awesome

[hard crane]

Which is funny to think about because of what he did prior to directing

[gritty steppe]

Anyone playing reach rn?

[forest lagoon]

No but I'm stretching

[pulsar mango]

I could hop on reach

[gritty steppe]

Trying to find a match but no luck sofar

[hard crane]

I could reach a hope

[pulsar mango]

Last time i was on reach its a few players here and there (x360)

[gritty steppe]

I played a few
Matches on reach last weekend

[pulsar mango]

Yeah its never completely dead

[gritty steppe]

Probably just bc it still early in the us it's 4pm in my country

[pulsar mango]

Yeah

[gritty steppe]

Nevermind just found a match lol

[pulsar mango]

if you play later you will ger more

[pulsar mango]

Lol

That tutorial level is going to be brutal: full day of new employee orientation.

[gritty steppe]

Damn 1000ms ain't fun

[pulsar mango]

Damn who hosting, the ISS?

[forest lagoon]

Hold on... This actually kinda sounds like a fun simulator game 👀

[normal owl]

One of the expansions can be a teaching job: Halo: Teach

[forest lagoon]

[hasty zinc]

his job is a dull retail job dealing with customers

[gritty steppe]

Idk, is reach mp also remastered bc it feels like og reach and not as smooth, but mabye it just bc of lag

[hasty zinc]

and then one day someone says "thanks chief" like people do

and he has flashbacks

[forest lagoon]

"I'm not allowed to use my augmented strength on the customer... I'm not allowed to use my augmented strength on the customer...I'm not allowed to use my augmented strength on the customer..."

[hasty zinc]

I had like 8 different people call me chief when I worked retail

[civic urchin]

Chief could be bouncer

[pulsar mango]

If you mean in MCC no its not remastered

[hasty zinc]

he works at Arbys

[normal owl]

Just constantly picking up food and pushing it into the back of his head without thinking.

[hasty zinc]

lmfao

it's all jammed with cake and chicken fingers

[normal owl]

hahahahhahah yeah was going to type something to that effect

[forest lagoon]

Works nights as a delivery driver. He's already on his 5th truck because they don't have the headroom a warthog does and there's been some incidents... Damages this one and he's fired

[hasty zinc]

"do you know how expensive these trucks are, son?"

[gritty steppe]

Oh ok, i know campaign is remastered , or just 60 fps but seems mp isn't

[civic urchin]

Chief forgets he’s not in combat and road rages 😂

[pulsar mango]

Its as remastered as the campaign is

[normal owl]

"Rolling Hunger"

[hasty zinc]

technically all the games in MCC both campaign and MP are remastered

[forest lagoon]

He wants to get a job in a stock room but since he's not forklift certified he's not qualified and no one wants to train him

[pulsar mango]

Yeah, but only a tiny amount

[normal owl]

if you turn on the "Catch" skull, customers more frequently fling their payments at you and you have to scramble to pick up the card/loose change, and angry customers are more likely to throw food at you.

Those mini games to pick up the slim credit card or stubborn loose change will be rough on legendary.

[gritty steppe]

Then it's probably my lag

[pulsar mango]

Actually with Halo 1, the game is not remastered as it uses the gearbox port so the fps and resolution improvements are not actually improvements

[pulsar mango]

Shame

[hasty zinc]

didn't they fix a bunch of stuff that the gearbox port left out/broke?

[pulsar mango]

Not at mcc launch so it would be a patched version

[forest lagoon]

Since the war is over, he's got two grunts working under him he adopted and has to fight the urge to punt them every waking moment

[normal owl]

Taking them to the grocery store and having to keep them within a certain distance.

"You are too far away from the objective."

[ivory coyote]

ifinite grunt design really balls hard between the original trilogy and 343 era halo

oh my god im incapable of spelling

[forest lagoon]

Agreed. I love infinites look

[minor light]

and the grunts in infinite are actually more than just cannon fodder as im sure we have seen during the event.

[ivory coyote]

Spartan 3s were expendable and cheap fodder and not at all a major concern for the UNSC in general.

Only exception being Noble team candidates, deemed too useful to be killed off.

[minor light]

reminder that the pop and swap is still a very viable tactic vs bipbaps. plasma and headshot still does its job. and they have the calcine disruptor, so they should take priority after the suiciders.

[ivory coyote]

i watched a single bipbap body 3 of my teammates on legend gruntpocalypse

it was kinda funny

[minor light]

yuuup. at least one your team needs to carry a plasma pistol and be designated sapper.

[ivory coyote]

I carry disrupters quite often

Great for group clearing, and calcine just makes that AoE nasty.

[worldly sedge]

They trained the Unggoy under the Banished to be more fierce and outgoing compared to their Covenant counterparts

[minor light]

disruptor is great for crowd control, but it doesnt do anything to shields really.

[ivory coyote]

wdym. Disrupter obliterates shielding

[worldly sedge]

My friend told me that Briglard killed brutes, elites, and such. That made me laugh.

[obsidian wyvern]

in multiplayer the disruptor is insane

the variant*

disruptor nerf was too much

[minor light]

well the unggoy have always been cannon fodder. they reproduce and mature too quickly to not fill that role.

most of the grunts we fight through the series are the equivalent of like 16-18 year olds with the vocabulary and maturity of like 8 or 9 year olds

[rare cedar]

dude just @ me next time

[ivory coyote]

Yeah until you read up the Unggoy rebellion and the only thing that got them to finally cave in was the glassing of their homeworld. Unggoy are nutty little creatures.

[minor light]

the old grunts are the ones you actually need to be afraid of.

yeah prior to the uprising the covenant just thought of them as just rank filler. after they almost fought the covenant to a stalemate, they put more respect on the names. and i guarantee the kig'yar didnt try that bull*** again.

also side note: it amazes me how much more of a threat grunts actually are when they have shields.

[soft kiln]

yeah, halo ce is not the same :c

sigh, tried to get into gruntpocalypse for like half an hour, no chance..

[minor light]

ce has an option for reverting to og graphics

I live to see all of it's failures

[cedar turret]

Why is it a ‘cyber’ truck

[normal owl]

temporary failures, so I can snap up more shares before their stock price recovers.

[minor light]

if you have a personal broker, i'd recommend setting an appointment before the end of next week. the stock should start climbing back by the end of the month if elon doesnt do something stupid again.

[ivory coyote]

cannot beleive tesla has an entire team sheerly for the purposes of keeping elon busy so he doesn't ruin their actual real projects

[minor light]

thats why his stock is so volatile. its a gamble that everyone is trying to win.

[minor light]

tbh i would only make tesla stock a part of my portfolio, not my bread and butter.

[normal owl]

yeah dude obviously lol

[minor light]

the safest investments tend to lie in either agriculture, or tangibles like weed or gold. because the values of those things only goes up as our population goes up, which that isnt changing anytime soon.

plus inflation makes sure that those investments mature.

[normal owl]

*not investment advice

[normal owl]

This is unfortunately not true in this day and age, but the explanation for why includes layers of education that I'm not looking to describe on a Friday.

[forest lagoon]

No one thing should be your "bread and butter" ever unless you enjoy gambling

[cedar turret]

What about Bread and butter? Can that be my bread and butter?

[forest lagoon]

It can be your butter and bread. Not sure about bread and butter however

[cedar turret]

But if I see what I eat and eat what I see?

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/butter-scraped-over-too-much-gif-18400004

[forest lagoon]

I believe that's a seefood diet

[cedar turret]

Not quite the same thing as saying what you mean and meaning what you say

[minor light]

I'm assuming it has to do with us being taken off of the gold standard followed by the spending habits and populating habits of the general public as a whole, along with the political shift in the last 5 years, causing general instability in the stock market, which is accompanied by a general distrust of the gov't and confusion of what to do/how to prepare for societal collapse which has only been further egged on by the media, who can also sway the winds of trade by sensationalist media.

[rare cedar]

Oh no, the three pun-ny people are talking amongst themselves

[minor light]

like you said, it could be a whole 8 hour lecture, with notes and slides.

[cedar turret]

callooh callay economic theory is outside our wheelhouse I must say

hmm maybe that's it

[minor light]

sometimes a computer can "get lost". its easier for it to find its way back as it were if it were to start over from the beginning.

also see if defragmenting your hard drive helps.

[dusky marlin]

so uh anyone down to play halo reach campaign w me or

[hasty zinc]

wow, started fallout 76 and this other player saw I was new and dropped a bunch of awesome loot for me

[shrewd moat]

Still doesn't work

it's like i've been banned from online play or something

but I've not gotten any notice about that or anything

[obsidian wyvern]

wait you can see real people in the game

[hasty zinc]

yeah it's online

[obsidian wyvern]

that's cool

[hasty zinc]

this guy has like a whole thing set up

he gave me tons of free stuff

[worldly sedge]

Why are people complaining about forge maps on YouTube?

[obsidian wyvern]

forge community seemingly wants to be paid

[candid tusk]

Is it the forge community though?

[hasty zinc]

dude gave me a sick outfit

[normal owl]

Well it's Forge; they could build a literal neighborhood.

[floral pollen]

Spiderman music begins

[candid solar]

Holy crap it's X-force uniform deadpool

[normal owl]

I was just going to say something about Spider-man but River beat me to it lol

[floral pollen]

I am speed

[hasty zinc]

I have all these awesome guns now

and tons of supplies

[candid solar]

I don't see the Spider Man.

[hasty zinc]

in the helmet mostly

its' the first thing I thought of too

[candid tusk]

I'm so mixed on the gift of giving in 76 and other MMOs. Feels like it takes a bunch of explorative discovery away.

Can you choose to not use them until you find one for real? Sure, but eh, you have them, why not use them?

[candid tusk]

Night-Monkey's brother.

[candid solar]

The only gift I give people in MMOs is helping low level players survive in high level areas.

[obsidian wyvern]

a lot of the ones investing good amounts of time

[candid tusk]

Sad for them. lol Should have thought about the terms and conditions before hand.

[obsidian wyvern]

the biggest problems seems to be bad communications between 343 and forgers from what I've seen

[candid tusk]

I mean, that's not too surprising, but they're also not employees. I'm sure they're in the "we'll get to you when we get to you" pile.

[hasty zinc]

it does seem to make questing a breeze

(I'm using the guns because why not) lol

I just thought it was very nice of them

[candid tusk]

Right. It's funky. I'm generally staunchly independent when I'm playing a game like that though. Only exceptions is when jumping into it as a group, where then we'll share resources as we explore together.

[hasty zinc]

I mean look at this thing, how can you not use it?

this game is a lot different from launch

[candid tusk]

lol It looks like it has three barrel extensions.

[mortal spear]

does anyone know how to fix screen tearing? I have a 165 hz monitor. I have set the frames to be uncapped in nvidia and I set the frames to 165 hz in window and in game? idk whats wrong

[hasty zinc]

is your monitor g-sync or freesync?

[mortal spear]

g sync

[hasty zinc]

do you have it enabled?

[mortal spear]

yes in the nvida control panel

[candid tusk]

I played a little bit when there was a free weekend and the game did not like my display settings.

[hasty zinc]

like most fallout games you have to hard cap at 60

otherwise it gets janky quick

[mortal spear]

unless you use the the F4SE and high fps fix mod

should I disable g sync then or what?

[candid tusk]

60 FPS television as a desktop monitor gang rise up.

[hasty zinc]

I'm not sure to be honest. G-Sync should be the answer to your problem

but if it's not working, then I'm not sure

maybe try #1075989764026675210

[mortal spear]

should I have a sync check in the infinite settings?

[hasty zinc]

do you have v-sync on or off?

[mortal spear]

off

[hasty zinc]

turn it on

see if that helps

[candid tusk]

Eh, fill out a #1075989764026675210 thread and Merty will deal with you.

[hasty zinc]

generally v-sync should be off in game when g-sync is on

I think anyway

[mortal spear]

i nver have v sync on

[hasty zinc]

try it and see if that helps

[mortal spear]

ill try though

ya it fixed it completely

[hasty zinc]

[mortal spear]

but i dont want it on, why is g sync not working 😦

[candid tusk]

For that question, you'll have to call g-sync support. lol

[mortal spear]

i fixed it - it was weird. I had my FPS uncapped in nvidia control panel, I changed it to 165, this for some reason turned off the option to have a custom fps in game but had 165, i chose that and it worked

idk. I thought that if I capped it in game it would go over but i guess it did? idk

[hasty zinc]

glad you fixed it though

[mortal spear]

hopefully it also works for fallout 4 cause i was having the saem issyue there too

[candid tusk]

For Fallout 4 you'll want to set your FPS to 28.

[mortal spear]

i have the mods that allow for high fps

[candid tusk]

Perhaps.

[fickle drift]

whats the nest Battlepass gonna be after this Yappening event wraps up?

[hasty zinc]

now to mod the ini file so I can change the hud color

[obsidian wyvern]

we dk

[fickle drift]

all good

[ocean herald]

Cyber showdown 4 or whatever number is next I’m guessing

[obsidian wyvern]

may actually get an entrenched

[candid tusk]

You know what's cooler than grunts? Brutes. Brute pass is next.

[hasty zinc]

forerunner pass plz

[candid tusk]

They can't. The xbox one can't handle that level of brightness.

What it can handle is a brute pass, with playable brutes.

[fickle drift]

i just want regular firefight back. tired of the grunts

[mortal spear]

turns out the real fix was to do what I did but also raise the min frames from 60 to 82

idk why

[mortal spear]

also do you have BETHINI for fallout?

[candid tusk]

If you kill enough of them they will retreat in a few weeks.

[hasty zinc]

I do not

does it work with 76?

[mortal spear]

check it out. BETHINI pie.. oh idk

you may have to look into that

damn doesnt look it it. sorry thought you were playing F4

[hasty zinc]

I'm playing both to be fair

[normal owl]

That is fair indeed, but only if you're playing both equally.

[obsidian wyvern]

^^

[faint mantle]

For a second I thought that was a brown military cap on your pfp's head

[analog phoenix]

[elfin glacier]

what would the best engine be to make a halo clone with a similar level of gameplay physics and whatnot

source maybe?

[hasty zinc]

UE5

[elfin glacier]

perhaps one of the thousand open source quake clone/derivative engines

[elfin glacier]

i vomit

[jade gust]

I'd argue that UE4 is good enough

[ocean herald]

https://vxtwitter.com/stephenseanford/status/1781112655249543445?s=46&t=chRvfy9tnkf8kgwBe-KSug

This applies perfectly

[jade gust]

Since allot of what UE5 brings is more for visuals than gameplay

[covert dove]

[elfin glacier]

after playing borderlands 2, killing floor 2, and the MCC main menu, my opinion is:

🤮

[candid tusk]

If it doesn't have quixels what's the point?

[elfin glacier]

ok in the third one it's not the main menu it's just that it keeps crashing

[jade gust]

I don't need that

[candid tusk]

Ok, go build your game in a cave with a box of scraps like Tony Stank then. The people need quixels.

[normal owl]

putting the aw in Jaws.

[hasty zinc]

so happy to have a 4 day weekend

[normal owl]

holy crap, 4?

[hasty zinc]

yep!

today, tomorrow, sun and mon

[normal owl]

I would like to buy one of those days off you.

I feel like this emoji this week

[bold sparrow]

Enjoy it, might not get another one of those for ab it.

[normal owl]

Is one of those days going to be a dedicated brainless day? Just sleep, games, and eating?

[hasty zinc]

today is that day

[normal owl]

Sounds delightful!

[hasty zinc]

I have the temp set to 68, I'm in my sweat pants and hoodie

and I have string cheese and french bread pizza out the wazoo

[normal owl]

[normal owl]

🤝 sub-70 home temperature

[hasty zinc]

heck yeah

[bold sparrow]

Ohh, I gotta get me some string cheese, Im out.
Let it never be said that string cheese ever looses its snackability.
5 years old or 32, a cheese stick is a cheese stick.

man I lost my 10 win streak in 1v1s

[candid tusk]

Halo 5 looks cool.

[obsidian wyvern]

it's got the halo 5 BR

[candid tusk]

That image reminds me of Bioshock 2 MP maps.

[pulsar mango]

I loved Bioshock 2 mp

shame its dead

[hasty zinc]

this is Attorneys type of game. You get a joke card with every perk pack

I used to have the right emoji for it, closest I can get without nitro haha

[steady jolt]

sweet jesus lmfao

[hasty zinc]

I almost didn't post it

[candid tusk]

This song is not appropriate for discord. lmao I'm sorry.

[steady jolt]

i'm crying 😂

[candid tusk]

I was gonna do what Aeg did, but I remember what happened last time.

[hasty zinc]

man, fallout soundtracks too good

[candid tusk]

They know what they're doing, and they do it well.

[hasty zinc]

oh god, I can't treat this like a normal fallout game

I can't pause

[candid tusk]

Nope.

You have to live with your choices in real time. lol

[normal owl]

That was excellent 🏆

[ocean herald]

not being able to pause in a game stresses mee out. one of the many things i dislike about the souls games

[candid tusk]

Does the Xbox quick resume work as a pause on souls games?

[amber mirage]

Technically

[ocean herald]

probably lol. on ps4/ps5 you can put the console to rest and launch the game from wherever you left off

[normal owl]

Quick Resume has always been problematic for my games.

[ocean herald]

yeah same. i would always have to relaunch the game anyway

[pulsar mango]

I like that track that plays in fallout 3s underground

[normal owl]

It's like people who think the freezer is a magical thing that perfectly preserves the state of something in time, when in fact the item's quality diminishes with time.

[pulsar mango]

Or the fallout 2 driving music

[candid tusk]

Depends on how well you get the air out, but yeah.

[hasty zinc]

I never played the first 2, but I should

I started when Fallout 3 came to PC

[pulsar mango]

Bit boring but good

[pulsar mango]

Same here

[candid tusk]

Don't sleep on Brotherhood of Steel for PS2 either.

[ocean herald]

the first 2 are tough to play. i tried the first and i'm just not used to that style of game

fallout 3 and oblivion remasters are supposed to be coming is what i heard

[pulsar mango]

I would like a oblivion remaster but fallout 3 has to be done right

[ocean herald]

aside from textures, i think fo3 holds up ok. the shooting mechanics are bad, but then again i don't think anyone plays it for the shootin

[normal owl]

yeah vats for sure

[pulsar mango]

It needs a certain amout of jank, they cant fully fix everything or it wont be fallout 3

[candid tusk]

Everything fully polished. All of the specks of dest cleaned up.

[pulsar mango]

Yes pre war lavish

[normal owl]

speaking of that kind of setting, I bought Metro Exodus while it was on sale. I know it's too scary for me, but I loved Last Light so much I might risk it.

[candid tusk]

Risk it. Do it.

[pulsar mango]

Exodus is good

but not my favourite of the series

In order it goes
2033
exodus
last light

[amber mirage]

I need to get back to Metro. I did 2033 forever ago and never continued

[normal owl]

I just do not enjoy being jump-scared. Last Light was a clenchfest for me, particularly the spiders.

[pulsar mango]

But I need to play last light again so that could change

Also last lights dlc was the best

[hasty zinc]

talk about a jump scare

[amber mirage]

You scared the poor guy to death

[worldly sedge]

Like aiming down the sights

That would be pretty cool

[candid tusk]

Or replacing the engine with UE5.

[worldly sedge]

Yeah the Creation Engine is 90s kid

[pulsar mango]

Yeah

[pulsar mango]

Defo or like any modern engine

[candid tusk]

Fallout 3 remaster needs quixels.

[amber mirage]

I'm surprised anyone even knows the name Quixel that isn't a dev

[pulsar mango]

Steam workshop with quix would go hard

[candid tusk]

😏 I dabble. lmao

[amber mirage]

That explains it

[elfin glacier]

does steam still restrict UWP programs

i need to refresh myself on that

can't find anything definitive but i think it's still no UWP stuff on steam

rip hw2 on steam

[nova badger]

So I just got back into halo MCC on pc and i keep getting games where my team is down 1 or 2 players so after a few matches i just start leaving when I'm down teammates because we just get washed anyway. Now I have a matchmaking ban? does anyone know of a way to remedy this issue or am i forced to play unbalanced matches in order to not get banned from playing

[obsidian wyvern]

the player base sucks
there's nothing you can do

but you can leave after the 2nd person on your team quits without getting a matchmaking ban

[candid tusk]

Is it 2nd person, or is it half the team？

[obsidian wyvern]

half the team

[nova badger]

Thank you revenant, I appreciate the answer. That's super unfortunate though

[candid tusk]

Yeaaaah. It be what it be.

[bronze breach]

Hi

[winter plume]

Any more give aways?? :3

[candid tusk]

Sam's giveaway budget is all out for the year.

I've requested three mugs and a coaster, the response was "No chance."

[midnight hare]

hi

[faint eagle]

Three? Are you insane?

[candid tusk]

I know, I know, I was too greedy.

Where would I even put the other two mugs with only one coaster? It was a poorly thought out plan to begin with.

[wary helm]

Stack the mugs on top one another. Big brain time

[harsh forge]

hi :3

[obsidian wyvern]

looks good.. but I can't see it being comp worthy in the slightest

[nova badger]

Update on my ban, I started playing again, my game crashed and now I'm banned from matchmaking again 🤣 I just uninstalled. I'll stick to halo infinite I guess

[worldly sedge]

Rip

[obsidian wyvern]

mcc be like that

[worldly sedge]

I wouldn’t worry too much about that

Does anyone have the infinite on PC with mods? I’m looking to commission a selection of videos. I want some campaign cutscenes with my Spartan? I hope this is allowed, if not please delete 😌
