general-chat

[fickle drift]

Think it's a store purchase

[floral pollen]

Main shop I think

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9xOkGJAMVPE

[civic walrus]

why is that

[queen remnant]

So, apex?

[floral pollen]

SP is only vaulted or unreleased things as far as we know

[elfin glacier]

blank USB drive

[queen remnant]

You don't need to go that far, is literally on Steam

[lapis ivy]

Hopefully I get SP for that one

It's too nice to be squandered

[obsidian wyvern]

because itd be my problem with elites all over again

i hope its a pay 2 lose helmet

[floral pollen]

I think all the SP stuff will be what was shown in the stream, for Banished Honor at least

[civic walrus]

no, no, why did anyone think the helmet should look like that

[obsidian wyvern]

its based off the brute chieftan isnt it

[languid ferry]

yes, they said it'd be those items in the exchange for 4-6 weeks

[normal owl]

@hard crane are you seeing this?

[lapis ivy]

Ok thanks like yappening I'll play all the way to get it all otherwise it gets locked afterwards and you need premium

[floral pollen]

at least the BP for Banished Honor is mostly SP instead of emblems nobody's gonna use

[languid ferry]

the new (30,000sp) armor coating will take over 5 weeks to unlock with daily play

[lapis ivy]

I stick with the banished emblem

[hard crane]

Eaglestrike??

[obsidian wyvern]

bruh

[hard crane]

I'm still going through the stream

[languid ferry]

if you want all the "net new" items, it will take you exactly 12 weeks of playing daily 😉

[elfin glacier]

ok

[obsidian wyvern]

and that means not spending on anything else

• the stuff rotates after a month.. so you cant even get it the first time round??

somethings off

[languid ferry]

that's how I understand it! the math is correct, just their timing seems wayyyy off

(but are we thaat surprised) 😄

[obsidian wyvern]

unless operations are gonna be lasting longer than a month now

which isnt ruled out

[languid ferry]

still would need 12 week operations to unlock everything

[lapis ivy]

I go for the armor instead of emblems tbh

[languid ferry]

*NEW unlock everything new

[obsidian wyvern]

and yes its a shop item doorless

[languid ferry]

they did use the word "grind" to describe the exchange SP, so I am lead to believe this is intentionally long, or the length of time to unlock these things has at least been discussed internally

[lapis ivy]

Yep it seemed so question u have to purchase it using the credits u purchased from the ms store?

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[ocean herald]

I’m hoping they give SP per match

[languid ferry]

from what they showed, you get SP for your daily challenge now. 1 a day valued at 250 sp

[obsidian wyvern]

good thing is i think i have almost everything in the first wave

[harsh vector]

Hoping for this too, especially if the prices stay this high

[obsidian wyvern]

only want the leg attachment and blamite so i need 15k

[lapis ivy]

Nonetheless I'll check it for myself as soon it drops on the 30

[languid ferry]

lol that's kinda the problem with this, it's a little bit of a slap in the face to players who have been around and playing/earning throughout the lifecycle of the game

[lapis ivy]

Thanks @obsidian wyvern

[languid ferry]

cause now you'll have to grind 12 more weeks to unlock the NEW stuff since you have all the old stuff already

[obsidian wyvern]

which is just going through the pass according to pins calculation

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah i get that 🤷‍♂️

[normal owl]

So there's Spartan Points now?

[obsidian wyvern]

yea, like mccs exchange if youve seen it

[ocean herald]

Yeah they’re introducing “the exchange” from MCC

[normal owl]

Yeah I have

[winter flame]

weeklies were 90% fluff anyway

[obsidian wyvern]

mccs exchange was a lot more relaxed

[languid ferry]

i'm not mad mad about it or anything but it's just another tally in the column of "does 343 know what they're doing for a live service game?" haha

[ocean herald]

The operation pass offers a bulk of the SP you can get

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe

(i doubt it)

but maybe you can earn points through pve too

[normal owl]

That's exciting! If real life got in the way and a player missed something, they can obtain if they're willing pay up the time for it.

[ocean herald]

For now there doesn’t seem to be a way to purchase SP

[obsidian wyvern]

im just gonna hoard as many points as i can in case they bring back zeta sky

[winter flame]

you can just buy your way through an operation for the points

[obsidian wyvern]

they did say promo items will be there so theres hope

[languid ferry]

if you use 30k as the base for the cost of zeta sky, you'll need to play for 5 weeks and 5 days to get 30k sp

[normal owl]

I didn't know you didn't have it. Would've scooped stuff off ebay had I known lol.

[ocean herald]

Well yeah but they only nets you about 15k SP. No where near the amount to get some of the pricier items

[obsidian wyvern]

no that stuff is like £150 lol

[normal owl]

Now it is.

[winter flame]

is this counting the daily, weekly and operation points

[languid ferry]

yes

[winter flame]

yeah im guessing they're selling the points lol

[lapis ivy]

As in British pounds In currency?@obsidian wyvern

[normal owl]

This is so cool: giving a second chance to folks who missed it and also giving more choice over how someone can spend.

[languid ferry]

they didn't show the full store 😄 haha

[obsidian wyvern]

yep haha

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[lapis ivy]

Oh ok

[ocean herald]

I really hope this doesn’t play out as “after community feedback you can now buy SP!”

[languid ferry]

sp's are definitely in there. for a nice lil surprise next week

[languid ferry]

it should be lowering cost (slightly - i still love the grind idea) but it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to unlock all the NEW items given their timelines they've provided

12 weeks of daily play to unlock all coatings, armor, and emblems (48,000 sp)

[ocean herald]

Yeah I agree. Either that or give SP each match

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah crazy lol, I'm sure it'll be available again anyway

[elfin glacier]

scalpers btfo

[obsidian wyvern]

I wonder how many of them get scammed, both ways

[ocean herald]

Didn’t people back in the day sell Xbox accounts that had max rank in halo 3 lol? Reminds me of that

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I've heard ppl buy accounts at max rank lol

[languid ferry]

250 every match makes a lot of sense. it's a minimal reward for bare minimum cosmetics.

the "new" stuff in the exchange would have been in the slots where they tripled down on SP in pass. (500 tier, 500 tier, 1000 tier should be ONE 2,000 tier)

[obsidian wyvern]

there'll def be a daily cap if that exists, people will just afk more than ever

[languid ferry]

yeah

[tight remnant]

I'm looking for my calculations as we speak

[bold sparrow]

Right

[languid ferry]

clearly not thought out tho lol

[obsidian wyvern]

you said 15500* from the pass iirc

here

[bold sparrow]

They're field testing probably. Seeing if it'd enough

[languid ferry]

15,000 for pass

[languid ferry]

i don't think they need to "field test" it to understand that all the NEW items would take 12 weeks to obtain if a player played every day

which if they rotate out the content at (worst) 6 weeks, that is literally half the time it will take

[obsidian wyvern]

my bet is on the shop, just like swaps/xp boost. it'll always be available there

[elfin glacier]

tfw my skinner box takes too many lever presses

[queen remnant]

Another one

[elfin glacier]

@queen remnant rothpanda

[bold sparrow]

If it takes multiple weeks, then multiple weeks I shall grind.
I have all the cosmetics I could ever want
I have Mirage and my ALL KNIFE MK VII
Anything else I'll get as I see

[unborn river]

Did infinite remove the input based matchmaking? I couldn't find the option to change input in settings.

[copper swallow]

i'm still waiting for new sandbox items

[hard crane]

I hope you got some spare years

[queen remnant]

so true

[elfin glacier]

i know

[ocean herald]

So you’re thinking it’ll go from free to purchasable if you don’t get it in the exchange?

[obsidian wyvern]

no I think you'll be able to buy the Spartan points

like 1k Spartan points = $3 or smthn

[languid ferry]

lmao the more i think about it....

they removed seasonal passes for operations.....

now they're removing actual content (albeit meh content) from the operations (emblem, thigh piece, needle skull, coating) and putting it in the exchange - replacing those tiers with 500 sp slots, and then making it impossible to obtain those pieces they removed from the operation pass?

[tight remnant]

Thanks revennat

Step forwards but also backwards basically

[languid ferry]

(why have two 500 sp tiers, when you have a 1000sp tier?) that's the definition of fluff. hell just make 3 tiers 5,000 sp each, or 5 3,000 each to hit the 15,000 per op

it's all fluff spun to make it look like we're getting more

[obsidian wyvern]

https://vxtwitter.com/Kidskull51/status/1782847016722219325?t=cmvzEqNPDcJD2JlWNSLifA&s=19

[tight remnant]

Ultimately video games are a combination of systems and interactions that work in a certain way. There is game design. In the design of the systems, there is something called pacing which is very important to the engagement of players. Pacing. That means a lot of different things depending on the context. But ultimately? Yes. Yes the pace of that 'skinner box' IS important

[obsidian wyvern]

the pp has tracking too so this will be fun

[worldly sedge]

Everyone’s pacing is greatly different than mine because I have a lot of free time compared to everybody who has a job or something busy.

This doesn’t affect me at all with the gameplay shift or system.

[tight remnant]

Wish the disruptor would have it's DOT back

Pacing is tricky

[obsidian wyvern]

actually it doesn't matter how much free time you have because you still won't get enough for everything lol

[copper swallow]

sadly they rather say 2 forgo made maps are new content and put stupid high prices on armor that could be in a bp or earnable

[obsidian wyvern]

from what we've seen anyway

[worldly sedge]

Maybe, but I always find the fun in picking things out

[void magnet]

Alexa play Halo Reach Epilogue

[round laurel]

I hope you're patient.

[tight remnant]

I think it would be hopium to be waiting for much more like sandbox items or game modes. Assault, VIP, grifball (natively) etc

For this update i mean

[lapis ivy]

I also thought those armors were in the BP but instead are in the store oh well I guess I gotta purchase them

[tight remnant]

Oh I misunderstood what you meant revenant

[left bone]

jelly fact 5001: money sucks sometimes.

[obsidian wyvern]

?

[elfin glacier]

jelli spotted

[tight remnant]

I thought you meant content wise

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

[void magnet]

Money… the root of all trees, I think that’s the saying right

[weary lodge]

Hi

[left bone]

more like the root of all evil

[void magnet]

I like money tho

[lapis ivy]

The flood stuff in forge looks pretty cool tbh

[void magnet]

That-was-the-joke.png

[left bone]

trees are evil too

[simple sluice]

What's the best way to earn BP XP?

[void magnet]

You wouldn’t fight a tree

[lapis ivy]

Money don't grow on trees though

[round laurel]

Use double XP boosts when completing the daily and capstone challenges.
Play daily.
Play well.

[void magnet]

You can grow trees by spending money on them though

[left bone]

yeah

but a certain rectangle dude with a square head will

[simple sluice]

Is playing customs help with xp?

[lapis ivy]

Well I got spruce trees that I bought on Christmas 😄

[round laurel]

Honestly, I've no idea.
I don't play customs.

[winter flame]

yeah corrison is horrible with sidekick starts

[round laurel]

Why?

[void magnet]

🌴🥊🐼

[winter flame]

constantly shooting enemies half way across with map with this pistol

so boring

[amber mirage]

Not really digging the map

[obsidian wyvern]

I dislike the map too

[round laurel]

So like Timberland?

[void magnet]

Fighting tree visualized

[amber mirage]

Feels like it would be better for Squad Battle

[lapis ivy]

Which map

[winter flame]

i hate timberland in reach fwiw lol

[amber mirage]

Corrosion. The new one

[elfin glacier]

squad games ‼️

[winter flame]

so boring i dont even care to win

[obsidian wyvern]

the ghost is weirdly balanced on corrosion tho

[left bone]

i could prob make better map than that

[never forged a map her entire life]

[lapis ivy]

I'm still working on mine takes a long time to finish

[fickle drift]

Trying to draw rn and I feel the same way

[tight remnant]

i enjoyed my first match, i need to play it again

[candid tusk]

Never a better time to learn.

[fickle drift]

cant wait for season 2 of squid game

[obsidian wyvern]

😮

[simple sluice]

Is there a mode that gives more bp xp?

[left bone]

i dont need too!

ill just do what my brain tells me to do

[worldly sedge]

I’m gonna crush it with the DMR at the Weapon Drill next week as Master Chief lol

[fickle drift]

Yeah when I made an off-hand comment the other day I got inspiration

If I end up liking it I’ll post it

[slim niche]

This new update is a mess

Bring back seasons

[thorny glen]

It's not. Other helmets like it have released before and those aren't part of the hit box either.

I am confused how the exchange is a fomo system wut

[worldly sedge]

Like I said, everyone needs to calm down

[fossil skiff]

I refuse

[thorny glen]

I am really confused why people are complaining about the exchange system

[round laurel]

People are calm...

[thorny glen]

it's a massive W system, I love it.

[worldly sedge]

Confused scream

[thorny glen]

It's literally what the game needed at launch. Now if only they could include paid only items into it to..

[round laurel]

They want everything in rotation, or at least, an improvement in the rate of Spartan Points.

[worldly sedge]

So not only is Halo Infinite the first game to have Grunt armor but also Brute

Where the Jackal

[pulsar cobalt]

it's a rotational exchange system and people still got to wait months just for the items to rotate in what they want

[round laurel]

There is some merit to their argument. Realistically, an upgrade in point acquisition doesn't harm anyone, other than possibly 343, as I assume they want people to play for longer.

[worldly sedge]

I can’t wait to grind all those SP and see what I can get, gonna be fun and collective of me

Gonna have to figure out the math to see where this leads me

[pulsar cobalt]

If they remove the rotational part and just constantly add items to it instead and allow people to earn SP for each game they do instead of it just being on operations and the first daily and weekly

[worldly sedge]

At least it’s not Overwatch 2 where you take five years to collect one skin smh

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm glad they finally letting people get unreleased items and that but making it rotational was a mistake

[craggy hare]

What if they just give everybody onyx, will you be happy then!!!

Lmao

[pulsar cobalt]

and having to wait like what is it each operation for it to rotate is crazy

[round laurel]

They may reduce the wait as time goes on. As one of the pieces need 30k points, 6 weeks is understandable.

[pulsar cobalt]

They don't need to reduce the wait time make it a static exchange system with everything being available on it and make spartan points earnable from just playing matches

[unborn sail]

hello everyone, I am trying to play halo CE on my pc thru halo MCC but I am hearing no audio in dialogues during cutscenes and during gameplay sometimes as well. I know this is a general chat but I am new to this discord so I am wondering where/who/which channel I can take this issue to? Thank you

[vast ibex]

why is firefight still gruntpocalypse?

[tranquil loom]

Instead of playing for a week and getting something new with the weeekly ultimate you get to grind for a month for 1 old item

[obsidian wyvern]

you can get gruntpocalypse in ff

but it's not exclusively that

[vast ibex]

4 gruntpocalypse matches in a row man

[obsidian wyvern]

damn

wonder what the weighting is

[vast ibex]

ive had enough of that damn mode

nobody knows how to play it

and it always has the bandana skull on?

[lament solar]

does anyone else think the halo 5 funding went mostly into the trailers rather than the actual game

[obsidian wyvern]

does anyone care at this point

[lament solar]

god forbid i have fun

[bold sparrow]

This is Halo: no one gets to have fun

[zealous lily]

uhhh can any devs tell me why these playlist continue to be the worst part of this game?

[tranquil loom]

More like the trailers tried to hide how bad the campaign was in h5

[vast ibex]

okay the firefight playlist is broken

doesnt give you any xp

fun

[steady jolt]

Make sure and report any issues you're getting

[zealous lily]

@dreamy stirrupyo why da playlists doodoo?

[steady jolt]

Don't tag employees/staff please

[copper swallow]

good to know
one of the modes i use to grind to max rank doesnt give xp

halo infinite is so broken it make starwars battlefront classic collection look good by comparison
and that games launch was worse than infinites

[vast ibex]

yeah i was gonna grind today but i guessi cant

it doesnt even give the match results

[steady jolt]

Have you restarted your game/device?

[copper swallow]

i was thinking about hopping on and playing some rounds of firefight but since its broken i think i'll just stick to mcc

[zealous lily]

the audacity of this company to make us pay money to change the color of our armor, but cant even give us a team snipers playlist lol

[elfin glacier]

you can change your armor color for free

[pure hollow]

Huh… my post was deleted?

[copper swallow]

on top of the lack of new sandbox items , story dlc, and everything else people have been asking for
for 2+ years now

halo infinite as a whole is just one huge step back

shop prices are wrose than they were a launch and the excuse that crosscore is the reason things cost more is just sad

i wont be buying the next halo title cause i've lost all faith 343 can make a good game or even a fun game

even more so with how they ignore the people who have asked for new sandbox items or dlc

[elfin glacier]

lol ok

[livid oyster]

I feel they definitely dropped the ball with no story dlc. That was the biggest let down for me

[zealous lily]

its sad because this is the first decent 343 halo.. and they shoot themselves in the foot continously

[copper swallow]

halo wars2 is the last good halo title

[elfin glacier]

ok

[round laurel]

Other than white, all basic colours (as far as I know) are free.

[pure hollow]

They have to ignore it. If MS says shut up they’re gagged no matter what. I feel like I can see it in their faces when they’re streaming.

[steady jolt]

Catching up with the live stream, man that flood palette is wild lol.

[pure hollow]

Probably the best thing about the stream TBH

[steady jolt]

Loving the Alien palette, some cool stuff in there

[elfin glacier]

best forge in the series keeps getting better

[round laurel]

It was real colourful.

[steady jolt]

Today is the first time I think I've ever heard someone actually say the word 'whack' when talking about the / in a URL 😂

[zealous lily]

ok thats actually true. the forge is a beast

and the forge community is doing better work than the devs

[elfin glacier]

the community didn't make the tools

[zealous lily]

but the maps and gametypes they add are better

[elfin glacier]

nah

[steady jolt]

Ooh nice, Heavies refresh on the way

[elfin glacier]

it's also funny how the halo fanbase flops between shallow praise for forgers to saying forge maps suck

[floral pollen]

nobody in at least YT chat likes the Forge section of the stream lol

[elfin glacier]

it really activates my almonds how theres tons of decent forge content, maybe a handful of worthwhile mods, but not a single full on fangame that's worth anything. Just stuff that heavily depends on existing content.

that's not to say the forgers don't do good stuff, more that the community for all the hot air it generates, fails to do much without 99% of the heavy lifting done for em

[muted plaza]

Any other news other than the exchange?

[elfin glacier]

yes

[steady jolt]

#announcements

[elfin glacier]

#announcements message

[floral pollen]

good job
you did the same thing but one of you cited it

[steady jolt]

I'm very surprised at the Plasma pistol update, did not expect that.

I'm even more surprised at the negative reaction, considering how often that feedback has come through

[elfin glacier]

to me that change kinda seems like pandering tbh

[pure hollow]

Plasma pistol returning to form is a plus

[elfin glacier]

it's no longer classic halo™

[steady jolt]

I absolutely don't see the need for it

[pure hollow]

I don’t understand

[elfin glacier]

true halo fans know the classic, true halo plasma pistol doesn't have emp

[normal owl]

There are many who faithfully grind a lifelong battle pass: Complaining.

[zealous lily]

BRO THERES A RANKED SWAT PLAYLIST WHAAAT. literally cant buy common sense these days

[pure hollow]

True but removing a much-loved and time-tested function of an item that the community has relied on for well over a decade was obviously going to be met with negative feedback. Putting its functionality back gives it purpose in Infinite. Something it sorely lacked IMO.

[tight remnant]

You've seen negative reaction to plasma pistol change? I haven't seen that

[elfin glacier]

you're right the plasma pistol in halo ce and 2, aka true halo/real halo/classic halo was a placeholder that did nothing

[hard crane]

Whaaa? Negative reactions for halo stuff? No way, nope

[elfin glacier]

also lmfao at much loved and time tested

mainly the former, ah yes, the much loved emp

[pure hollow]

It was stronger in those titles. It was way too weak in Infinite

[tight remnant]

Halo 5 has my favourite plasma pistol

It's single shot isn't weak

[elfin glacier]

was it? holding a charge drained much faster in ce/2 than in infinite

[round laurel]

CE for me. It's a beast in that game.

[vague geyser]

the halo 2 one was randomly cracked

[void magnet]

Maybe referring to the “should’ve been in at launch” crowd? Or the “shock EMP gotta go” crowd? (<— both of which is me 😎)

[vague geyser]

lost of things should have been at launch but.... you know

Wouldn’t say that’s totally “negative.”
Maybe a “negative reaction” but absolutely fair imo

[distant mirage]

halo ce plasma pistol is my favourite because when you power it up it feels like a ki blast :D

its like a meaty punchy ball of goop

[vague geyser]

ngl ce multiplayer was always real wonky

[proud osprey]

Big time but it can be fun in custom lobbies and stuff

[vague geyser]

spawns are diabolical

litteraly just spawning ontop of frags instantly dying

[distant mirage]

its so funny

[tight remnant]

Not quite the same thing though

[vague geyser]

no playing the game allowed 😡

[elfin glacier]

i'm going to destroy someone's face if this script fails again

[tight remnant]

What's your script?

[elfin glacier]

setting up a PC to do some stuff for work

but also if the fix i'm trying works i'm chucking someone into a black hole

because both would be annoying in their own ways

[tranquil loom]

I think the problem with the pp is that we already have so many emp weapons

[tight remnant]

I thought you meant in forge

[void magnet]

CE gotta be among the worst online MP Halo games but is absolutely peak with a party of friends

[vague geyser]

almost as bad as halo 4 💀

[tight remnant]

in BTB it's good to get the plasma pistol too because a disruptor OR plasma pistol usually spawns, so you have half a chance of missing out on an EMP weapon

so now it just garantees it

[elfin glacier]

i should do more forge stuff tbh

[tight remnant]

I was about to be like, oh i probably can help

[vague geyser]

22$ for the battlepass is wild

[tight remnant]

Huh what

[vague geyser]

"premium"

[tight remnant]

To skip levels?

[obsidian wyvern]

bro I'm in a 5 stack and we've been searching btb for like 15 mins wtf

[fierce mango]

Is the estimate time that long?

[vague geyser]

oh thats for 20 skips and pass, oh 5$ for brown guns?

[candid tusk]

You don't have to buy them. lol

[tight remnant]

and to keep it once it expires

as in, if you dont complete it in time

[vague geyser]

wait it says gold lmao looks alot more like copper

[vague geyser]

was just searching for corrosion solo for almost 20min no dice

[feral chasm]

cindershot change was unwarranted

[tight remnant]

that shouldnt be happening...

what region are you?

[vague geyser]

eu

[tight remnant]

Maybe that affects it but still

[vague geyser]

got it set to extended search

[ocean herald]

i had a teacher that called * a 'splat'

it would confuse the heck out of me hearing that

[elfin glacier]

well i mean it is a splat

[round laurel]

I'm having a lot of difficulty finding BTB matches after 10pm.
Like, sometimes I get lucky and the usual pubstomp squads are online, but other times they aren't, and I'm searching for eternity.

[feral chasm]

I think the main reason is that people feel like vehicles are way too countered already

i mean i dont really mind the change though

[cedar turret]

https://tenor.com/view/split-gomez-fly-balance-chill-gif-13203602

sure it's not a split?

[feral chasm]

mainly considering that usually the plasma pistol spawns instead of the disrupter and vice versa

[hard crane]

So good news, Netflix kinda made a Titanfall movie

Bad news, it's with JLO and looks generic as hell

[distant mirage]

with the current stae of video game adaptations, it's probably also shot like a toothpaste commercial

i'll check it out regardless

[safe dawn]

Wait really?

[vague geyser]

dont get the mans hopes up

[hard crane]

If I'm being fair calling it a Titanfall movie is a stretch, it's a Titanfall movie in the same way that Justice League was a superhero movie

[vague geyser]

and the halo series being a halo show

more like generic space drama wearing halo themed socks

[hard crane]

Basically JLO and Sterling K Brown are in space, evil AI Simu Liu is evil and wants humanity to go bye-bye, JLO gets strapped to a mech with an operative AI etc etc

[fickle drift]

He’s right. Fallout is the gold standard on game based shows now.

[vague geyser]

heard the fallout one is good havent gotten around to watching yet tho

[sweet fox]

it was so simple.

[fickle drift]

It’s great. I watched it in two days. Lots of fun Easter eggs.

[sweet fox]

they couldv'e just made a show about reach

hell if they were so into going into this somewhat grounded military experince they could of made an odst show

[vague geyser]

pretty impressive how they fumbled the bag on the halo show lmao

[fickle drift]

Yep, instead they condense the story to an hour and barely show anything.

[sweet fox]

like how do you mess up that bad.

how do you take the concept of chief, this super awesome soilder who doesn't speak a lot, the covenant, all these characters, the halo rings, cortana

[fickle drift]

The same way the Witcher writers did, thinking they know better than the story they already had. Arrogance basically.

[vague geyser]

like getting a licence to print money then deciding to print monopaly money

[sweet fox]

its like they had a sci fi themed show

and just decided to slap halo cgi over it

[vague geyser]

cant forget the OC inserts

[fickle drift]

More like dollar store money that’s sloppier printed. They had so much lore and story they could have pulled from and made that mess.

[sweet fox]

i dont even remember there names

[fickle drift]

And even that was rare too.

[sweet fox]

nail in the coffin of an already somewhat dead franchise

they couldve revived the halo hype with this show, do yall see how high the sales where for fallout 76 (even tho its mid)?

the mod downloads are at an all time high for fallout games, its trending hella on google

[fickle drift]

Fallout is massive again, but Halo it moved the needle none:

[nimble portal]

Hi, new here. Where can I complain about the upcoming plasma pistol change?

[zealous lily]

RIGHT HERE BABY

[nimble portal]

Hell yeah

[fickle drift]

The pistol needed a buff but lol making vehicles even easier to take down…solid move

[sweet fox]

I mean like I try to like the games, I try to like the lore, I try to like the media

[vague geyser]

😡 NO COMPLAINING ALLOWED! YOU WILL EAT THE SLOP 343 FEEDS YOU AND YOU WILL BE GREATFULL ABOUT IT! 😡

[sweet fox]

Im not a bungie die hard, but like they have so much to work with

[nimble portal]

The EMP niche was divided and given to electricity weapons; bringing it back to the PP is so obviously just to appease "fans" that want every advancement to be undone.

[sweet fox]

we see that halo has somewhat of a market still with games like splitgate going viral for a little bit

[candid solar]

Oh boy, we're back to this again.

[nimble portal]

I'd suggest greatly buffing the Disruptor instead.

[fickle drift]

That would be nice, I like that weapon

[nimble portal]

I don't want to be super negative, just saying my thoughts.

[hard crane]

Just let them spit some slobs before they all go back to not talking here for a year, it will be faster this way

[sweet fox]

I mean, halo infinites multiplayer isn't the worst, I like playing it from time to time

[candid tusk]

You could make a youtube channel or a blog.

[pulsar cobalt]

Disruptor needs to be reverted back to it's og state

[sweet fox]

The campaign was really fun

[candid solar]

I mean I'm just walking, so it's not like it matters.

[sweet fox]

they just voicing opinions?

[hard crane]

The most generic, unoriginal "opinions" I keep hearing here every 2 days on average

[sweet fox]

well these "generic opinions" seem to be pretty popular, which means people might want change in those such things

[fickle drift]

Maybe don’t sit in a discord all day and you wouldn’t be bothered that people have opinions you don’t like.

[zealous lily]

sounds like theyre valid then

[sweet fox]

REAL

[vague geyser]

📠

[sweet fox]

took the words out my mouth.

[hard crane]

And yet they come from people who will keep consume whatever being thrown at em, you're fooling no one with this criticism attempt

[vague geyser]

But they dont align with his opinion! so they are wrong ofc

[zealous lily]

you arent fooling anyone either

[sweet fox]

I didnt buy halo

[hard crane]

It's called "socializing", should try it sometimes

[distant mirage]

why are people being mad at each other? we're all on a computer rn this isnt serious

[sweet fox]

fr im not even mad rn

[nimble portal]

Believe it or not, you can voice an opinion on something, and not completely abandon said thing if you don't get the change you want.

[sweet fox]

we're all here because we are pasionate or atleast are somewhat passionate about the game that is halo

[fickle drift]

There’s an outside world. Grass, go touch it sometime.

[vague geyser]

anyone else getting suck on the intro shots of a map?

[tight remnant]

Let's keep things civil please.

[sweet fox]

Im too busy dying to cheaters on mcc flying around with the sniper

[hard crane]

You can socialize on both worlds, it's actually pretty easy 🙂

[vague geyser]

happened to me yesterday what was his name?

[distant mirage]

theres only one world sillyhead

[sweet fox]

gerbil but it was a name change

they can change their gamertags.

[fickle drift]

Play ranked and get the same amount of fun in Infinite!

[candid tusk]

Faerun.

[pulsar cobalt]

I wouldn't name shame people

[vague geyser]

yea noticed that one guys name was the N word

[elfin glacier]

dae splitgaet dae splitgaet dae splitgaet

[hard crane]

But like I already said, I know the type; in 3 hours tops you won't be here anymore anyway 🤷‍♂️

[sweet fox]

oh yeah he sucks too

[tranquil loom]

Hackers can change their name and worse when they get banned the real player with the name gets banned

[sweet fox]

he plays a lot of reach around 8pm pacific time

[tight remnant]

Calling out people isn't allowed on the server. Instead submitting reports is the best thing to do

Dusk. People can have criticism and opinions.

[sweet fox]

I just play customs now tbh

sometimes theres a few slayer lobbies

[elfin glacier]

i still remember when the splitgate devs spent tons of money on the least useful people on the planet, halo youtubers

[candid tusk]

Is there a proper way to report people that spoof their name in MCC?

[tight remnant]

Including the match link maybe? I'm not entirely sure. I am thankful I haven't had the misfortune of running into one

[distant mirage]

people spoof their names in mcc?

[sweet fox]

you can go into your theater after the game

[hard crane]

Sure, but at least be original and don't repeat the same thing people already said word by word

[candid tusk]

Gotcha. Yeah, I haven't been playing MCC to run into it. Ahh. That'll show their real name, JoJo? Good tip if true!

[tight remnant]

Common issues will be talked about more commonly Dusk.

[vague geyser]

wtf did i just get a warning for lmaooo

[sweet fox]

most of the time, they change their name mid match, so if you open the theater mode for whatever game your playing, most of the time you can see what their name was prior to the change, and report them via that

[obsidian wyvern]

ok 7 stack and still finding nothing!

[candid tusk]

Split into 7 stacks of 1 player each.

[tight remnant]

Doesn't increasing the stack increase time as well generally?

[tranquil loom]

True skill 2.0 can’t handle that

[obsidian wyvern]

as soon as I said that we found one

[candid tusk]

lol

[vague geyser]

Halo infinite matchmaking 😎

[tight remnant]

Honestly sometimes complaining about something happening is a good way for it to stop happening. It's happened to me before many times

[elfin glacier]

r/halo tier post

[hard crane]

Than said people shouldn't be surprised they're being called out for being part of the bandwagon 🤷‍♂️
Like you said, people have opinions

[ocean herald]

cuz i'm host

[candid solar]

Bungle good

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah sure

[vague geyser]

watch it just put you in the match intro for 10 min then end the game in a tie

[ocean herald]

america #1

[candid solar]

The algorithm requires engagement, Pins.

[sweet fox]

bungle good, 343 bad 😠

[distant mirage]

ah man. r/halo... people were so weird to me there

[sweet fox]

nah cause I dont understand nostalgia blinded bungle fans

[exotic bramble]

America 🛢️🦅🇺🇸

[candid tusk]

Nothing more engaging than being mad about video games. lol

[candid solar]

Nerd rage is a potent fuel.

[tight remnant]

Common occurrences doesn't mean simply bandwaggoning. That implies following a trend

[tranquil loom]

True skill 2.0 ain’t a halo only problem, its Xbox one and up problem

[candid solar]

Personally, I think we should all get milkshakes and talk about our feelings.

[candid tusk]

Been around in some form since Halo 2.

[candid solar]

If you say the wrong thing I'm breaking open my milkshake on your head though.

[tight remnant]

I could honestly use one after today

[distant mirage]

do they have to be milkshakes

[tranquil loom]

Yea true skill 1.0……

[sweet fox]

its the equivilant of peeps complaining about sbmm in cod

[hard crane]

Bandwagoning is sort of a trend on its own

And it's still funny because you know eventually the people who say these things are those who will keep playing the games and will watch season 3, no point even denying it.

[candid solar]

I try to avoid ice cream these days, but tomorrow I might go get one. I've been having gelato instead.

[sweet fox]

ask these kids who "hate sbmm" I bet you they'll say they loved bo2 or halo 3.

[hard crane]

Gelato is the food of gods.

[candid tusk]

I don't know if many of the complaints come from people who played them tbh.

[vague geyser]

it didnt take it into account much at all in those games

for social playlists that is

[tranquil loom]

I only had high 40’s in halo 3 lone wolfs

[sweet fox]

I was trash at halo 3 only reached like 19 in lone wolfs

[candid solar]

I've played more than enough games with 'pick a lobby, what's team balance' to know that the sheer concept of doing away with a skill based system is the take of a stark raving madman.

[hard crane]

I never played Halo 3, what's stopping me from googling the most common complains and join the echo chamber?

[vague geyser]

pre rank rework RAAAAAAAA!

[tight remnant]

There's something called wanting the games people play to be better and the series they love to be better and good..

[sweet fox]

real

[tight remnant]

Consuming things uncritically is not great

[sweet fox]

but like, you dont wanna allow others hate to blind you either

[tight remnant]

There's obviously going to be a lot of stuff that's senseless or unfair

[candid tusk]

Keeps the brain smooth. Smooth happy. No concerns. No regrets. No sadness.

[sweet fox]

if you like a game, you like it, if you dont like a game, you do not like it

[elfin glacier]

indeed. I really need to stop being lazy and write my AUTHORITATIVE halo infinite review

[tight remnant]

That can be called out sure, but there's still a lot of valid things to be said

[sweet fox]

I loved advanced warfare, even though some parts where flawed it was still a fun game to me

[candid tusk]

We can talk about it on our podcast together.

[tranquil loom]

https://youtu.be/-RdK7TQcKTQ?si=twz2T1kBKjurb6rX

[zealous lily]

Halo is bad*

[elfin glacier]

mint quitz
i don't give serial liars views thx

[candid tusk]

A MintBlitz embed? lmao

[hard crane]

There's a way to express criticism Pins, I think sometimes people forget that "how could have they fumbled the bag so badly" isn't constructive nor can be built upon.
If you actually care about the IP/franchise, you'll keep your criticism constructive, sharp, to the point. Or else you're just mindlessly venting, which is fine but don't expect to be taken seriously

(You = general)

[candid solar]

This video is just infuriatingly stupid as a concept.

[sweet fox]

bro be getting like 7 feeds with the sniper

thats just to draw in viewers tho tbh.

[candid solar]

Like, this is a guy who literally has everything to gain from there not being matchmaking restrictions in place.

[tranquil loom]

Literally he talks about the bungie dev who invented true skill and why it was the way it was but I guess facts are too much

[candid tusk]

I find "One" to be a good replacement for "you".

[candid solar]

He literally has a direct financial incentive to make matchmaking feed him worse players, ergo a direct financial incentive to make the matchmaking system more imbalanced and thus worse.

[hard crane]

I'm a simple guy, I see Mint Blitz and I ignore

[sweet fox]

He's hella good at halo

[hard crane]

I'm used to use "you", but I'll try to replace it

[elfin glacier]

Max Hoberman was one of the people who worked on TS1 yes. Max Hoberman has opinions, and his opinions are not fact

[hard crane]

Who's gonna tell em?

[candid solar]

It's like getting the info on how to stop cancer from the damn cancer.

[tranquil loom]

Bro he literally looses 20 games in a row 😂

[elfin glacier]

Max Hoberman is not the ultimate authority on matchmaking for working on an implementation in the padt

[sweet fox]

I mean yeah he bodies players who just got on the game but still never the less impressive

[candid solar]

It's like getting AA meetings sponsored by freaking smirnoff and jim beam.

[elfin glacier]

bim jean

[hard crane]

No, he just heavily edit a bunch of kills he randomly gets and whenever he gets bodied (which is pretty often) he just quits the match.

[tranquil loom]

I guess we know who is good and bad at this game because if you’re good true skill gives you the worst teammates possible 😂

[sweet fox]

better than me

[candid tusk]

The clips can be neat if he was playing against bots, but the new people on the other end are being bullied and likely to not bother playing again.

[sweet fox]

I think my best feed in a slayer match was like a 5 man

[elfin glacier]

Hoberman's "solution" to tryhards is having a playlist labeled "ranked"

[candid solar]

I'd rather go against 3 trash players and one who absolutely wipes the damn floor with me and my team than four guys who wipe the floor with me.

Because the former at least means both sides get a chance.

[worldly sedge]

Do you think Halo YouTubers are overly critical about the game? I feel like they are.

[hard crane]

Better than you doesn't give me a lot of info when I have no idea how you're playing

And yet he's still heavily manipulating both the game and his footage to make it look like he's actually better than the average player

[distant mirage]

if you cant take 4 guys, are you even a skilled halo player? 😉

[candid solar]

Yes, but they also, like Mint's crap, have a direct financial incentive to do so.

[sweet fox]

Well, some games I get bodied because I go against a full team, but other times I can get like 20 kills in a match easily no sweat

[candid solar]

Hell, it's the same side of the same coin.

[tranquil loom]

Would you enjoy being on a team of all new players with one good guy while the other team all know what they are doing because true skill is trying its hardest to make him loose? Those new players can’t be having fun

[worldly sedge]

Yeah I just noticed people content farm on YouTube over anything for the sake of revenue.

[sweet fox]

I know all the weapon spawns, I know all the times, I know all that stuff, its just the matter of who I get matched with and who my teamates are

[worldly sedge]

Like it now makes sense and just shows how desperate the platform is

[hard crane]

See? You're not that bad.
Difference is you're probably not presenting yourself like someone you're not

[candid solar]

If the match is balanced, and the overall system is functional? Absolutely. Noobs need to start somewhere after all.

[sweet fox]

thats actually a fair point

[worldly sedge]

People aren’t making money = makes 3-4 videos on the same topic

[hard crane]

And that's just the technical stuff, there's also Trench's things about how he's also genuinely a terrible person

[tranquil loom]

Loosing 90% of your games ain’t balanced sorry

[vague geyser]

oh he said a bad word 😮

[sweet fox]

that sucks

[sweet fox]

i was unaware you couldnt cuss in the halo server, a franchise known for its more mature themes

[candid solar]

k

[hard crane]

It indeed sucks that so many people take him as a valid source.
And you're a person that actually listened, most aren't even gonna try to listen.

[sweet fox]

skill issue tbh

[tranquil loom]

Haha the fact you can’t be bothered to look at the facts before having an opinion says it all sorry

[vague geyser]

reminds me of the bf3 servers with filters lol even tho there is quite some good voicelines ingame

[sweet fox]

dude, I play the game.

[candid solar]

TBF, I'm not actually saying Mint's a terrible person, he's just a terrible person to listen to like he's objective and truthful.

[sweet fox]

I que with randoms, some games the score is 50 to 14, other games its like 12 to 50

[elfin glacier]

i thought it's a forced 50% win rate? get your talking points correct

[sweet fox]

sometimes my teamates are mlg pro's, other times they are splitscreeners who just got off of work and are playing with their kids.

[hard crane]

That's how I'd describe a bad person, ngl

[vague geyser]

MCC im just getting stuck with 1-2 afk on my team every game 😢

[sweet fox]

ME TOO

[safe dawn]

Hello there

[candid solar]

There's more metrics than that. I doubt he's rude to wait staff or kicks puppies or whatever.

[safe dawn]

What unpopular opinìons are being voiced today

[vague geyser]

or there is not even a 4th person on my team

[sweet fox]

so mintz is a clip hunter

[candid solar]

Yes.

[vague geyser]

damn bro thats craaaaazyyy

[candid solar]

100%. He's well known for it, it's literally where his fame started.

[tranquil loom]

Yea he is he plays a lot and shows his best clips no surprise there

[distant mirage]

don't most youtubers do that?

[sweet fox]

well i mean he is a youtuber, ofc he isnt gonna show the games where he loses

[safe dawn]

Doesnt everyone do that?

[sweet fox]

my goofy ahh

[distant mirage]

I thought it was best assumed when youre watching videos of people playing fps games, they'd naturally pick out the most exciting parts

[obsidian wyvern]

misato sighting

[candid solar]

Matchmaking systems existing is bad actually

[hard crane]

Lots of people do it, but not everyone are trying to use it to make it look like you're an elite pro

[sweet fox]

I mean you can also watch streamers

[tranquil loom]

Ok, playing the game doesn’t mean you understand the system at play

[obsidian wyvern]

oh my god it's goobot

[winter flame]

Online gaming existing is bad actually

[distant mirage]

who's doin that? sounds a bit silly to me

[candid solar]

I want more imbalanced games with more teams of god's own anti-son-of-a-female-dog-machines to stomp my utterly randomized PUG squads.

[winter flame]

LAN parties were it

[hard crane]

I'll give you three guesses

[elfin glacier]

post the guardian quit clip

[elfin glacier]

TRUE

[safe dawn]

Tbh, my opinions on this of no meaning since i never have problems with matchmaking lol

[sweet fox]

Its not balanced because they rig it so you go against people who are super better than you then to keep u on they put u against bots and yada yada

[elfin glacier]

Matchmaking was a mistake

[vague geyser]

the infinite guardian map remake makes me sad 😢

[hard crane]

tbh we both know exactly who's the type of people to be against matchmaking

[distant mirage]

ehh, i dont really watch gaming content.

[fickle drift]

👀

[safe dawn]

Mint blitz, mint blitz, mint blitz?

[elfin glacier]

blessed video

[sweet fox]

HAHAHAHAAHAHA

[hard crane]

Are you trying to wake up Voldemort?

[safe dawn]

Rip mint

[distant mirage]

who is mint blintz?

[tranquil loom]

Halo YouTuber

[safe dawn]

Depends

[vague geyser]

anyone ever played against that one halo lore youtuber?

[tight remnant]

Ultimately higher populations do help aleviate a lot of matchmaking skill issues by having a good pool of players in certain skill ranges.

[candid solar]

Well, yeah, because it's not a hard thing to figure out. It ain't no Hellen Keller filter.

[hard crane]

Don't 💀

[vague geyser]

x something or whatever

[sweet fox]

meanwhile I'm staying in matches where my whole team left, and I gotta face the entierty of optic from 2009

[candid solar]

CIA keeps typing and I am confused

[hard crane]

A true skill issue

[candid solar]

They are implementing a mercy mechanic tbf.

[sweet fox]

simply because I dont wanna get banned.

[sweet fox]

Im talking about mcc now

[hard crane]

If you ask me, most halotubers are annoying as a cultural thing

[candid solar]

Well, yeah.

[sweet fox]

tbh youtube culture as a whole kinda sucks

[safe dawn]

It depends on what mood im in, sometimes im in the mood to be chaotically right, sometimes i just want to explain something to a brick wall until it understands

[candid solar]

Most of their content is inundated with complaint after complaint.

[sweet fox]

fr

[tranquil loom]

YouTube encourages click bait way too much

[distant mirage]

youtubers are kind of annoying. I typically just watch the same series over and over

[hard crane]

Well, it pays to be negative.
It hella pays to be negative on Halo.

[sweet fox]

most youtubers I watch are smaller and make like hour long videos

[tight remnant]

Youtube as a company tends to be very unhelpful too to its creators

[safe dawn]

Yes

[elfin glacier]

@candid solar keep an eye on the typing thing rn

[candid tusk]

Which series is your guilty pleasure?

[safe dawn]

Tbh we need more creators to be positive about the game

[dapper salmon]

Hello, infinite is dead no new content no sandbox weapons really wanted more weapons halo guardians has more content than infinite it’s embarrassing

[sweet fox]

like I feel like a lot of them forget, you dont have to be good or seem good at a game, to make it entertaining.

[tight remnant]

We also need more wins in halo

[elfin glacier]

knew it

[hard crane]

YouTubers aren't necessarily annoying, they become it when they try to turn into the messiah of their niche

[sweet fox]

there are people I watch play games who aren't even close to understanding the game, yet its still fun to watch due to their PERSONALITY.

[distant mirage]

200k views, 300 likes type video

[tight remnant]

Lore and stories tends to be the aspect of halo that I think is probably doing the best

[hard crane]

Thank you for your very original opinion.

[candid solar]

Wow. Utterly stunning. Truly original. I'm clapping so hard right now, you have no idea. I called my roommate into the room and he burst into tears at the state of Halo upon reading this.

[safe dawn]

And its never the wholesome niche

[sweet fox]

and the comments being like "Bro we need to go back to bungie, our lord bungie would never have done this like this"

[safe dawn]

Cap, lies, also comparing any halo game's weapon sandbox to h5 is like comparing minecraft to terraria

[hard crane]

I found some wholesome niches, but it's usually because they're relatively small.

I guess that's why some communities try to stay as small as possible

[vague geyser]

@sweet fox then they went ahead and made destiny 💀

[candid solar]

At least I don't see people constantly comparing liking modern Halo to spousal abuse nowadays. That was suuuuper popular a few years back.

[sweet fox]

EXACTLY I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT.

[hard crane]

Wait for Season 3 debut

[candid tusk]

Hey now, Destiny raids are awesome.

[sweet fox]

like bro, I BET if bungie stayed, halo wouldve been where it is rn but EVEN WORSE.

[safe dawn]

Wait what?

[sweet fox]

because they DIDNT WANNA MAKE HALO ANYMORE.

[tight remnant]

I don't get how?

[vague geyser]

destiny was a complete snoozefest @sweet fox

[distant mirage]

Idk, the platform necessitates narcissistic behavior. the average youtuber seems more obsessed with getting ad revenue than actually making videos

[candid solar]

Yeah, it was a pretty popular trend to do that years back. Still is, rarely.

[sweet fox]

pay 2 win bullet sponge bordem

[tight remnant]

Halo 5 did have an amazing sandbox though

[hard crane]

Yep, they just wanted to make live service open world looter halo instead.

[candid solar]

I'm actually downplaying it for PG13 purposes. People compared it to worse stuff constantly.

[tight remnant]

I'm not a destiny fan or a bungie fan personally

[safe dawn]

Minecraft, in terms of weapons, pales in comparison to terraria's weapons

[sweet fox]

the req varriant glitch in halo 5 was peak for customs

[tranquil loom]

Eh, difference is bungie while a part of Ms has creative freedom, their goal was to make a good game, Ms doesn’t, Activision ruined bungie

[hard crane]

Read my following comments on the subject

[tight remnant]

Ah

[worldly sedge]

As Asmongold once said, “Content is king. That’s all that matters.”

[sweet fox]

and the fact that 343 left it in was so awesome

halo 5 has some of the best customs we've seen in a halo franchise

[distant mirage]

but you didn't follow up on the comment?

[candid solar]

It's funny when I have a pretty hefty pile of complaints about 5 and Infinite and they tend to get swamped out by how angry people get about the weirdest crap from both.

[tight remnant]

Honestly a lot of decissions bungie has made regardless of Activision, even going in for sony. It's on bungie's tops.

[distant mirage]

oh wait, i see now

[hard crane]

@distant mirage

[safe dawn]

Have you seen ultimate fiesta in infinite? Its crazy lol

[candid solar]

Like the guy who went on a looooong rant about how bad it was that 5 added seat switching.

[tranquil loom]

Halo wars 2 was good cause they had creative freedom

[distant mirage]

ya i found it

[vague geyser]

you ever tried halo 5 custom games on pc? input delay was on another level

[sweet fox]

never got a chance to play it.

[tight remnant]

The biggest sandbox no no in halo 5 was probably the weapon update they did at the end of the game's update lifespan

[sweet fox]

halo 5 was on pc? swear?

[tranquil loom]

Halo 5 forge

[elfin glacier]

bungie's goal was to make money, they willingly took Microsoft's contract for money, but pretended to be le wholesome chungoid indiedevs, then went to activiz for more money, then after a brief indie stint they went to snoy for even more money

[sweet fox]

OHHHHH

[vague geyser]

yea thats what it was called

[tight remnant]

It brought a lot of the weapons to a point where it wasn't too great and it wasn't followed upon

[safe dawn]

Try it when you get a chance, the weapon mashups are funny as heck lol

[pliant hatch]

they were supposed to change the magnum, but never did.

[tight remnant]

The magnum was well balanced

[tranquil loom]

There was no contract they were bought

[sweet fox]

my pc cant run infinite so I gotta try it when I visit my mom again

[tight remnant]

It was other stuff that needed to be balanced around a bit

[distant mirage]

i miss halo 5 multiplayer tbh. wish i could play it on pc, no gold for my xbox atm

[safe dawn]

Ngl the magnum was the main weapon in h5 lol

[candid solar]

Buying a company connotates a contract, typically.

[tight remnant]

A proper port would be good and an update for FOV and improvements yes.

[sweet fox]

the magnum killed the battle rifle

[pliant hatch]

it was planned after an hcs final, but then I guess they decided to move onto infinite.

[elfin glacier]

they agreed to 5 games and a book deal as part of the contract with Microsoft but cried about having to play nice with others

[tight remnant]

My biggest issue playing halo 5 right now is the low FOV

[safe dawn]

I left and came back after a few years bc infinite happened and forgot magnum was top dog in h5

[distant mirage]

what was that one gamemode on halo 5 with the multiplayer firefight mix?

[elfin glacier]

warzone

[worldly sedge]

Warzone

[candid solar]

I'd also want to turn down the blur and motion effects at this point too.

[sweet fox]

warzone.

[distant mirage]

warzone was so fun!!!!

[tight remnant]

The days of warzone were very great

[vague geyser]

was that the p2w one?

[candid solar]

There's soooo much in 5 that it can be annoying to play sometimes. It never gets as bad as Reach's motion blur, but.

[sweet fox]

req packs sucked.

[elfin glacier]

warzone and dominion were peak

[safe dawn]

Hence, i got drilled into forerunner alloy by a space deagle

[sweet fox]

but damn halo 5 warzone was fun

[tight remnant]

It wasn't. Multiple systems in place to mitigate it

[safe dawn]

Ngl, warzone is fun with friends, otherwise i dont see all that much appeal

[vague geyser]

i try to forget halo 4 and 5 ever happend

[sweet fox]

it was more like pay 2 unlock

[distant mirage]

warzone was so peak. it felt like a big ol' party game again

[tight remnant]

I do wonder how many people thought their enemies REQs were paid rather than grinded and obtained

[safe dawn]

Your missing out man

[vague geyser]

i played

[safe dawn]

Bro chill man

[sweet fox]

the reqs where definetly obtainable. (then again I was in highschool still)

[tranquil loom]

Halo 5 only bad halo campaign imo

[candid solar]

Yeah that's fair lmao

[elfin glacier]

nah

[candid solar]

I shouldn't have done that, that was a bit too far.

[sweet fox]

halo 4 gameplay was bad

[pliant hatch]

it had some interesting meta with the trying to win the fastest.

[safe dawn]

Tbh, id take h5s campaign over infinites

[vague geyser]

cant think of anything good about halo 4 tbh

[tight remnant]

The gameplay of the campiagn in halo 5 was at least pretty fun i'd say

[safe dawn]

I dont mind the open world, but it felt too empty

[candid solar]

Infinite's campaign is... Very annoying, because it plays the hell up out of fanservice.

[tight remnant]

And the level designs

[distant mirage]

i think each halo campaign has their own thing to offer :)
halo 4 is pretty good, it has a pretty decent sandbox and good vehicle missions. The art style isnt my favourite, but it works for what its trying to do

[elfin glacier]

reddit moment

[candid solar]

No, it was a leak.

[safe dawn]

It was an icon in the campaign

[candid solar]

@sturdy terrace gonna be typing one hell of a tome, huh?

[tight remnant]

No leak discussion real or fake.

[sweet fox]

halo 4 had a good story

[distant mirage]

i wouldnt even really go as far to say halo 5 was terrible like many people say, but it definitely was the weakest halo for me

[safe dawn]

Call it 50/50

[tight remnant]

And keeps things more constructive, calling lazy and worst etc isn't too helpful.

[vague geyser]

now i know youre trolling lmao

[tight remnant]

Halo 4's story was amazing

[cedar mantle]

best childhood game

[sweet fox]

understandable, at launch it was bad

[hard crane]

No leaks, only leeks.

[safe dawn]

Tell this to youtube, please

[elfin glacier]

i feel like you clapped when Miranda said "to war"

[pliant hatch]

bruh

[safe dawn]

Fr

[candid solar]

Meanwhile 5 was the Halo that made me actually prick my ears up and sit up regarding the Halo franchise after Reach thoroughly divorced me from the concept of enjoying a Halo game for more than custom games.

[distant mirage]

halo 5 seems sort of confused in its campaign.
the chief missions felt obnoxiously long at times. and locke had a lot of missions, but they were really short.

[cedar mantle]

do i realy need to buy campaign in halo infinite:(

[sweet fox]

I mean, they humanized the chief more, the relationship between cortana and chief actually made me feel tense for something (unlike the cliche "the galaxy will explode if the profit blow up space ring")

[tight remnant]

Is, beautiful story that deconstructed a lot John and explored

[distant mirage]

it felt like chief had 3 hour and a half long missions, and locke had 10 15 minute missions

[fickle drift]

Gamepass.

[candid solar]

That was the idea. Locke's missions were short and varied, Chief's were long and more 'classic' in structure.

[sweet fox]

I cried when cortana died

if we look past the unfun gameplay with the stupid promethians

[sturdy terrace]

No tome here. Just Discord thinking I'm typing something when I wasnt

[sweet fox]

it was solid

[candid solar]

I liked fighting Prometheans more than I liked fighting the Covenant or Flood in 4.

[distant mirage]

i think the idea is good, but was executed poorly. it was a bit unbalanced in time invested for the reward the player got

[elfin glacier]

classic discord moment

[dapper salmon]

Who is really excited for the next halo game?

[sweet fox]

everytime I hear this line bro im like "where tf is the war?"

[dapper salmon]

I’m not

[vague geyser]

what game is that even from lmao

[pliant hatch]

I still think the part where they're chasing each other above the lava should've been a playable section.

[candid solar]

Yeah, that's kinda 5's problem-it's more pacing and structural than dialogue or the actual story itself.

[sweet fox]

maybe it was a skill issue, but I felt they were too bullet spongey

[distant mirage]

when she said the "to war" line it really felt like a cheesy sci-fi movie to me, and i loved it

[tranquil loom]

Not having prometheans with flood was a L

[elfin glacier]

as if more proof was needed that halo 3 is the worst written halo

[sweet fox]

kind of like the brutes in halo 2. man I hate the halo 2 brutes

[distant mirage]

halo 3 was so camp

[candid solar]

Not everything needs to have the flood shoehorned into it.

[safe dawn]

Meh, i dont really get excited for games, and tbh, infinite (if fixed up) could serve as an mcc style platform for the next few campaigns

[safe dawn]

^^^^^

[pliant hatch]

I just want some dlc

[tight remnant]

I think the characterization was also an issue with 5

Flood vs prometheans is a natural fit

[sweet fox]

I do prefer fighting promethians over the flood

[tranquil loom]

The litteral purpose of them and their weapons are to fight the flood…

[distant mirage]

i believe they were poorly balanced due to a time crunch near end of development, werent they?

[sweet fox]

god forbid a man wants to have fun.

[vague geyser]

this feels illegal

[elfin glacier]

pretty much

[safe dawn]

It was, it had the best colors but the worst armor (in terms of only being body and helm instead of helm shoulder wrist chest legs hip ect.

[sweet fox]

Im speaking on behalf of halo 3

[candid solar]

And I'm supposed to shoehorn in them fighting the flood because... Why, exactly? Where would you put the flood in that makes sense?

[sweet fox]

not halo 2 and ce.

[tight remnant]

Indeed, thus that's where it should be shining

[distant mirage]

oh! about halo 2! did anyone else have a halo 2 disc that had the engineer species in it?

[tight remnant]

Gameplay wise it's something new too

[dapper salmon]

I just don’t think I’ve got patience to go through all that crap again another half bake halo game again because I don’t trust anyone at 343

[sweet fox]

them stupid sniper flood varriants bro.

[tight remnant]

There are a lot of ways to do that

[sweet fox]

cortana mission was trash.

[pliant hatch]

stored in the ring

[safe dawn]

H3?

[tight remnant]

The galaxy has pockets of flood here and there that lay dormant

[vague geyser]

yea worst mission of the game

[sweet fox]

yeah, It was like the libarary, speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down

[fickle drift]

It’s too long.

[candid solar]

Depends on the character. It's usually not the ones people get angry about, like Cortana. I remember 'character assassination' getting thrown around a lot by people who mostly use Cortana for unmentionable content and disrespectful gazes.

[tight remnant]

The covenant would sometimes deal with the flood as well and cleanse it from locations

[distant mirage]

when i first played halo 2, my copy had the engineer species on one mission. cortana said a throwaway line about how they werent hostile and i thought it was interesting. I have yet to find a copy of the game that has this in it. is it some sort of easter egg you hae to unlock?

[sweet fox]

your forced into playing it a specific way

[tranquil loom]

Where does fighting the promethians make sense? Why shoehorn them into h5 at all?

[safe dawn]

"Hot take": the H3 flamethrower is not good for anything besides cool fire pew

[tight remnant]

Cortana could have been handleded better however

[sweet fox]

the only purpose it serves is burning weaker flood varriants when your low on ammo in legendary

[tight remnant]

The pace of the discussion is fast while I'm trying to do certain things so trying to stay on top of all

[vague geyser]

it was good on the one map i keep forgetting the name of

[sweet fox]

like halo 4 did what halo 3 tried to do in terms of story

[candid solar]

The game about fighting Forerunner equipment, in forerunner facilities, with Forerunner constructs as the primary opfor, where the Promethean general resides and then fighting for the person who took control of what the general was doing before. Gee, yeah, I wonder where the Prometheans would make sense there.

Oh, wait, there's literally nowhere else they would be. Huh. Crazy.

[vague geyser]

woops wrong reply

[pliant hatch]

was good for burning that corrupt cop in odst, lol

[safe dawn]

That too lol

[sweet fox]

or the castle wars gamemode

[tight remnant]

I think showing why Cortana turned and more of the domain stuff would be more helpful

[tranquil loom]

Oh wow forrunner I guess they weren’t in the previous games because there was no forrunner stuff in those game right

[sweet fox]

the flamethrower is simply a situational sandbox weapon for custom games

[dapper salmon]

How much I wasn’t a big fan of halo 4 but that game has more sandbox weapons and I had more fun playing again. I miss Promethean weapons.

[vague geyser]

halo 3 forge custom games was peak

[candid solar]

I mean, yeah, and that'd be more of a structural issue there-another act to explore her dipping into Halseyisms and instability would help.

[distant mirage]

i dont even remember the story to 5 that much. all i know is lockes team has a marvel movie moent sliding down a hill that people didnt like and then theresa fight where halo dorks scream and froth at the mouth that two big super soldiers had a fight and could actually damage each other

[tight remnant]

And they're not in infinite for all that

[humble night]

@steady jolt

[calm fiber]

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

[sweet fox]

and yet for some reason all these dudes wanna play is fat kid on the custom browser

[safe dawn]

Tbh, h5 shouldve done what infinite did and let cortana stay dead, instead, have exuberabt witness instead be the enemy tryna take over the universe

[candid solar]

You don't even fight the Prometheans for all of 5, yeah. Only places where they make sense.

[vague geyser]

fatkid was so much fun

[candid solar]

... Hard pass.

[sweet fox]

halo 5 I dont even know whats going on

[vague geyser]

everyone in full panic

[sweet fox]

I just played through the game

[distant mirage]

something about cortana i think

[candid solar]

5's a pretty basic story. It's weird that people get so confused about it.

[tranquil loom]

I wonder why they aren’t in infinite doesn’t everything you wrote apply to that game?

[pliant hatch]

I didn't like that fight

[sweet fox]

I think its cause the artstyle overwhelms me. plus I played it on heroic so Im already tensed up

[candid solar]

Because Infinite is a regressive game in some respects and meant to pander to people who wanted a 'classic' Halo, and that is literally one of my most frequent criticisms of Infinite.

[safe dawn]

Maybe because, oh idk, we're fighting the banished not the didact or the wannabe blue didact lady?

[vague geyser]

i cant remeber much of halo 4-infinite campains

[sweet fox]

whats yall favorite introduction mission for halo

[pure hollow]

CE

[distant mirage]

i can remember halo 4's story pretty wel, but 5 is lost on me. I think i was so annoyyed during the long chief missions that i forgot to actually pay attention

[sweet fox]

my personal favorite is cario station from halo 2 because they actually let you experince a good chunk of the sandbox early on

[tranquil loom]

Yea I guess the old games make no sense that we are on several forrunner worlds with no promethians but suddenly h5 it makes sense to have them everywhere

[safe dawn]

Tbh, i really dont care for any of the ones that ive played, the only one i havent played is h4, and i doubt id care for it either

[distant mirage]

cairo station has that awesome cutscene at the end too! i'm going with cairo

[sweet fox]

I like CE for challenges because I can run through it so quick

[dapper salmon]

I did like halo 5 multiplayer I actually liked rank more then infinite,

[tight remnant]

I'm not sure why exueberant specifically

[candid solar]

Because the game literally explains directly to you that Cortana took control over them, because there was a whole activated Promethean army up and about because of the Didact's revival.

[vague geyser]

halo 3 sierra 117 was prob best for me then CE second

[tight remnant]

They were let out

Escaped, went around the galaxy

[sweet fox]

that end section where you gotta take out all the elites is so awesome

[safe dawn]

Altho tbh, cairo does go hard with its cutscene, altho the fighting was a pain

[candid solar]

I like 4's intro but not the dialogue for it, only the setting.

[distant mirage]

i always rush in with the shotgun

[tight remnant]

From a gameplay perspective flood vs prometheans would make a really good pair up

[pliant hatch]

until I play it on laso

[safe dawn]

I just picked the one other thing that couldeve made sense, wasnt going for anything in particular

[tight remnant]

Ah

[tranquil loom]

So infinite having them and flood would be shoehorning when installation 07 is known for flood?

[distant mirage]

you guys think we're gonna fight the flood in the next halo?

[safe dawn]

No

[candid solar]

https://tenor.com/view/moving-goalposts-goalposts-changing-requirements-gif-25214446

[tight remnant]

To be fair infinite didn't lean in to its history, although 07 was cleansed of flood

[sweet fox]

I think it starts weak due to them forcing you to use a magnum and ar or a plasma pistol

[candid solar]

Remember to lift with your legs and not with your back, goobot.

[tranquil loom]

Look at the beginning of the convo you’re the one moving goal posts

[sweet fox]

but as soon as you get access to the carbine its fun

[safe dawn]

Hopefully, more, better, banished

[candid solar]

If we're just gonna start doing this crap then you can piss off.

[sweet fox]

we do not speak of halo 2 laso.

[dapper salmon]

If they put full halo 5 game on PC I would actually play that more than infinite

[vague geyser]

atleast its not the halo 2 magnum 💀

[tranquil loom]

Don’t get mad your logic isn’t sound

[tight remnant]

I need a break, I keep forgetting what I just typed up and thinking of other stuff

[sweet fox]

I much perfer the halo 2 magnum

[distant mirage]

what if we go back to the ark in the next halo?

[vague geyser]

peashooter

[tight remnant]

Let's stay calm please

[safe dawn]

Your entire argument made no sense

[distant mirage]

I think it would be sort of funny if humanity kept going back to the ark

[candid solar]

Already solved.

[tight remnant]

What do you mean by that?

[candid solar]

I really hope not. It makes the galaxy feel obnoxiously small.

[tight remnant]

Humanity did try maintain a constant presence on the ark

Then the banished came

[ocean sierra]

No because lore-wise no gravemind to make them a galactic antagonisitic threat & gameplay-wise, they're just glorified zombies & aren't as interesting or fun to play against compared to other Halo enemies.

[safe dawn]

Question, what coating is that on the armor in your pfp?

[tight remnant]

Arctic void

[tranquil loom]

How? I said promtheians would be at the best if they fought flood, he said why shoe horn flood into it, I said they literally exist to fight flood. He said it’s forrunner so it has to have promtheains and I said I guess that’s why every other game has them right, halos are known to have flood, maybe look at the full convo rather than bits and pieces

[distant mirage]

pretty good analysis actually.

[tight remnant]

Anyways there's like a spartan that has a condor

[candid solar]

Well, Graveminds always come back. It's kind of the point of the Gravemind.

[safe dawn]

Ive been here for the full argument my guy, and it just doesnt make sense for infinites lack of plot to add promethean to it

[candid solar]

Spartan can't fight back to say they wanna get on a condor. No brain left.

[vague geyser]

343s fat elite was the goofies elites change my mind

[pliant hatch]

child of my enemy why have you come

[tight remnant]

I mean flood infected spartan

[distant mirage]

theres a fat elite??? AND I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM???

[normal owl]

Dang it, second time today I've missed a conversation praising Halo 5.

[candid solar]

There's... Not really much of a reason to assume it's specifically a Spartan.

[safe dawn]

🫂

[tranquil loom]

That’s literally not the point I said the promtheians would be at their best fighting flood…

[candid solar]

Personally, I think it'd make more sense to close the Saturn loop by just having the Condor fly to the Saturn and try to infect it, regardless.

[normal owl]

[safe dawn]

Yes and no

[tight remnant]

That's what I've been saying for like ever too

[vague geyser]

not a fat elite haha just the much bulkier design of them in 4-5

[candid solar]

... Did people think I was actually saying the Prometheans weren't for fighting the flood?

[livid oyster]

For all of the flood’s intelligence, I bet they don’t know what the sound of one hand clapping is

[safe dawn]

1, what flood, we dealt with that and atleast in the games, we havent seen any in ages, 2, tbh i just cant see it

[distant mirage]

its too late

[normal owl]

That sounds dirty

[safe dawn]

Lol

[tight remnant]

Infinite has a lot of flood stuff

[tight remnant]

But not playable flood

[livid oyster]

I was thinking that too, but I swear it’s not meant to be lol

[tight remnant]

Sorry

[distant mirage]

breh why are you posting screenshots of discord

[vague geyser]

lool

[tight remnant]

Infinite has a lot of flood stuff but not enemy flood

[safe dawn]

This does nothing for your argument

[tight remnant]

I'm just going to take a break I think I'm messing up some of my words, play nice everyone

[safe dawn]

Clarify please

[safe dawn]

[distant mirage]

whats with the professional discord users trying to wun internet arguments as if they mean anything

[tranquil loom]

Lol I must be talking to a 10 year old what’s the point when I post a literal screen shot I’m done

[vague geyser]

gravemind lore when?

[livid oyster]

What is the sound of one hand clapping is actually suppose to be a paradoxical question, but I guess not anymore

[normal owl]

Literally wheeze laughing out loud

[livid oyster]

[hard crane]

Technically you've got the hivemind, just look at r/halo

[safe dawn]

15yo, who has better common sense than most adults, and clarify what your using as an argument in the screenshot

[distant mirage]

anyone wish the halo series had a time skip? just go a decent leap into the future and see whats up?

[vague geyser]

what a funny guy

[tranquil loom]

How about the one comment with my name next to it, not too hard to figure out

[hard crane]

I'm here every day, tips are appreciated

[normal owl]

I would but I don't have an internet hazmat suit.

[safe dawn]

It kinda is when you drop a screenshot with no context

[distant mirage]

whats with the halo reddit? Some guy called me an idiot cuz i participated in a convo about a game asset

[livid oyster]

That’s the internet

[fickle drift]

It’s Reddit.

[vague geyser]

i try to stay far away from halo "content" but then again im here 💀

[hard crane]

A Hazmat suit won't make it, you need full on cancer immunity

[safe dawn]

But to adress that, i dont think it really was, imo, sentinels are far better suited to look cool fighting flood than prometheans ima

[tranquil loom]

How about to the comment it was in replying to? That’s some context but you constantly ignore the previous comment, sure you have common sense but can’t figure this out?

[livid oyster]

A birthday suit will do just fine

[hard crane]

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

[safe dawn]

How about ya read what i just sent

[hard crane]

When your argument stops being about the subject and starts being about your arguments maybe it's time to drop it off

[normal owl]

That site unfortunately often perpetuates a culture where it's ok to be much ruder than is acceptable in a normal non-sociopathic society.

[candid solar]

Looking at it because the constant replies to blocked messages was starting to be amusing-I think he's somehow under the impression that I was saying that the flood vs Prometheans is a terrible idea because the Prometheans are weaker somehow, or weren't meant to fight the flood-neither of which was what I said.

Honestly, I don't even know anymore, I think he's just mad because I said the flood are basically a narrative relic and shouldn't be shoved into everything constantly, and everything past that has been divorced from reason.

[distant mirage]

it was stupid too.
theres little plastic baggies with bullets in halo 2 and someone postulated its to cut down on mass. because shipping crates with air would cost more. and the guy just called us idiots because "air doesn't weight that much, thats stupid."

[tranquil loom]

Trust me I’m done, when people change the subject with each comment and pander there is no point

[distant mirage]

like, who even really cares that much over a bag of ammo in a video game? we arent stupid for talking

[safe dawn]

This is just sad

[candid solar]

Video gamer nerds and pointless pedantry, y'all should ask the real questions.

[livid oyster]

Like when is Xbox gonna come with a cup holder

[normal owl]

Humans seek to feel valued, and some people think that being "correct" about fictional video game information gives them value.

[hard crane]

If anything, reddit does good by providing a proof that expressing your opinions is a privilege rather than a necessity.

[distant mirage]

when will we get an xbox with a deep fryer component

[safe dawn]

Tbh, video game nerds are fun to chat with when they arent the idiotic kind

[safe dawn]

That was the 360

[distant mirage]

my 360 used to get so hot the room would warm up 😭

[vague geyser]

then you see the covenant got these massive supply cases with a couple guns

[normal owl]

I read that as "pointless pageantry" for a sec and was like you know, that would be fun.

[candid solar]

That's fair. But y'all gotta start asking the right questions, like I did.
