[bronze breach]

Been silent for years now

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm mostly want to know what the new fable is gonna be like

[hard crane]

A new gears game would be DOPE
Lowkey praying for tactics 2

[bronze breach]

Would be great to see but the studio who made it was bought out by Tencent I believe

[pulsar cobalt]

who ?

[hard crane]

WUT

[bronze breach]

Splash Damage

[elfin glacier]

Waiting for AoMR news

[bronze breach]

Splash Damage made Gears Tactics with TC just overseeing things

[bold sparrow]

Large corporation keep something fun and interesting without taking instant advantage of it challange; impossible.

I mean look what happened to Splitgate, lol.

[hard crane]

And now I'm 1% more sad

[hard crane]

Sony never fails to disappoint when they can

[normal owl]

Announcement that all old COD titles are available on Game Pass starting right then. "whhaaaaaa"

[bold sparrow]

I mean, I wouldnt say no to that. I wanna replay Advanced Warfare again.

Oh the amount of grinding I could do for achievments XD

[normal owl]

Seems like a big "wow look at this beefy new benefit on Game Pass!" morsel that they would drop in an announcement.

[pulsar cobalt]

this is what the ceo said about it so he knows it's bad

[elfin glacier]

Le gane ded

[bold sparrow]

This is capitalism in a nutshell; anything that can be monotized or controlled WILL be monotized or controlled.

Presumably this is also about throttling PC players since they arent specifically attached to Sony and therefore are probably a LARGER portion of the playerbase.

[normal owl]

Politics aside, this does seem to be about Sony maintaining it within their garden.

They're pretty aggressive about that in general.

[carmine fractal]

its a sad state of affairs....

[pulsar cobalt]

About the helldivers thing ?

[carmine fractal]

yes.

[bold sparrow]

To be 100% fair its just good buisness.
If you have something you can keep hold of and not have "leakers" why would not have hold of it?

[nimble portal]

It's ok we got Helldivers at home gametype

also EDF 6 soon

1 Reach cR

[jolly willow]

They should've just had the requirement from day 1.

[elfin glacier]

it does seem odd putting it in now

[amber mirage]

From what I read, they did have it on Day 1, then turned it off when the servers struggled to keep up.

Doesn't explain why they sold the games in regions where it wouldn't have worked, if that's true.

[jolly willow]

sheesh

[boreal schooner]

How goes everyone's Friday?

[soft kiln]

almost died playing beat saber 😂 it's a workout

[boreal schooner]

Oh lord

[soft kiln]

made buddies with somebody there and we gamed so hard, it's fun to mime in the lobby. we both started sitting down during breaks and miming how exhausted we were but had to continue 😄 and sending some ❤️ 😂

[pulsar cobalt]

Beat saber got MP or something ?

[soft kiln]

yeah, it has online. the lobbies dont have mic, you can only mime with the floating hands and your avatar

it's very wholesome at times

[boreal schooner]

And the games called saber?

[soft kiln]

you only get the sabers when the round starts

[boreal schooner]

I was asking is the game called saber?

[soft kiln]

oh sorry! it's called Beat saber

[boreal schooner]

Never heard of it

[soft kiln]

it's one of the most known vr games, it's so good. if you ever get to try it, i totally recommend.

[boreal schooner]

Is it on epic, steam?

[soft kiln]

yeah i think so. i have it on my quest. you need a vr set for it.

[boreal schooner]

Rats. I can't afford one

[pulsar cobalt]

Shouldn't this helmet Manufacturer now should be banished ?

[soft kiln]

i think there are some pretty affordable ones too now and if you buy it used someday. i bought the quest 3 as a bday gift for myself, i had been waiting for years to get my own set.

[boreal schooner]

Ah

[candid solar]

I think it's still meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

[inland zodiac]

Camazotz is so good

[candid solar]

No bias detected

[inland zodiac]

i own a lot of helmets

i swap between them a lot, but i enjoy the look of Camazotz

[pulsar cobalt]

I have the same problem and it's a pain due to having so much choice and not knowing what one to put on

[worthy ginkgo]

Ready for gears as well should be good to hold me over until whatever Halo is gonna do next gets announced

[pulsar cobalt]

Halo infinite would be amazing if they literally brought back the seasons and adding sandbox stuff

[bold sparrow]

More content, as usual.

[worldly badger]

I am beating smurfs and will still gain the same amount of csr because it already decided my mmr

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/E5t4.gif

[worldly badger]

unrewarding system just pointing it out

[normal owl]

How did that term "smurf" arise in this use case?

[worldly badger]

someone playing on an alt acc on a rank lower than their main

usually around 100 games played and top of the lobby

[normal owl]

No but using the specific character "smurf" to portray that concept.

[candid solar]

Apparently the term came from banking.

[worldly badger]

"It's called smurfing due to two very good players in a game called Warcraft II. Players would simply avoid playing them if they saw their usernames, so they created new accounts to combat this, choosing “PapaSmurf” and “Smurfette” and the term has stuck since"

[candid solar]

No, that's an incorrect origin.

Urban rumor. Original was just from making new accounts in any system for illicit reasoning.

[worldly badger]

ok what is the correct origin

[candid solar]

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/smurf.asp

[worldly badger]

in gaming

[candid solar]

The name comes from the similarity between the way funds are broken down and the way that cartoon characters known as “smurfs” divide up tasks.

[bold sparrow]

I heard it was cause smurfs are small and unassuming.
And a lot of games used blue as a base color for new players

Same as "blueberries"

[normal owl]

Wow this is genuinely fascinating.

[bold sparrow]

It might be a bunch of reasons. The Ultramarines are called smurfs too after all and it applies in more than just their colors

[candid solar]

Basically;

• Smurfing originates as a term for money laundering under fake accounts, making many accounts to prevent triggering suspicious activity notices, named after the literal fictional characters.
• Gamers do the same thing, in the same fashion, for a similar reason.

[bold sparrow]

Since the Ultras follow division of labor via THE BIG BOOK DAD WROTE so that fits too

[candid solar]

From how it sounds, that WoW thing was a coincidence; Two smurfing characters happened to choose smurf-themed names.

[bold sparrow]

Maybe they chose the titles as a meme

[normal owl]

and apparently the financial industry borrowed the term from the illicit drug trade.

[candid solar]

And it was either an inside joke, or just did it because getting your rear end kicked by a smurf is funny.

[fickle drift]

may be a dumb question but does anyone here know any good heavy armor combos for halo 4?

[candid solar]

HAZOP or EOD are solid cores.

[bold sparrow]

Protector

[fickle drift]

Using eod head and chest now with the protector shoulders

Ok thank yall it looks better now

[wraith loom]

Guys is there any solution to boost more ur sens in halo infinite. Iam a controller player and ive set the sens all at 5, and still moves slow :/

[forest lagoon]

There's a joke in there somewhere

[soft kiln]

wow okay,i play with the lowest sensitivity.

[finite patrol]

Abuse the aim assist

[wraith loom]

Nahh amigo i cant play with low sens, and i cant boost it more

I ve set it max and still moves slow

[soft kiln]

did it change at all when you did that? or is it just buggy

[wraith loom]

Yes it changed its a bit faster than the default but its still slow

[soft kiln]

i have no idea,it probably just is what it is

[wraith loom]

Maybe. Well imma watch maybe a tutorial

If tutorial dont help me , well i gotta accept the failure :(

[forest lagoon]

Lower the acceleration too so you don't get a laggy initial drag

And if you really want to feel like your aim in flying around, mess with your FOV

[graceful inlet]

Good night Spartans!
(and our marines 🫂)

[quartz compass]

wot

hey whys ur profile picture Dr. Hemlock

[fresh turtle]

[frosty siren]

Who hates when u have to dig and dig for stuff your commets got replied on

[wraith loom]

My fov is 110

But imma try the acceleration

[worldly badger]

aim feels different server to server or that might just be the way ping affects aim assist

some matches I feel locked in

[wraith loom]

Wait fr ping affects aim assist;;

Daym i didnt know tat

[worldly badger]

It might idk just saying from my experience

[wraith loom]

Nah i dont think so that affects aim

[worldly badger]

like the spartan hit box is delayed so it acts weird

sometimes I clearly miss someone and it counts as a hit

like I shot where they were not where they are

[wraith loom]

Well thats ping

[worldly badger]

thats why I said ping affects aim assist

[wraith loom]

I think happened to me too before

Not sure tho.

[worldly badger]

like you have to lead your shots

if you aim directly at them it partially hits

and thats where it gets wonky people feel like something is up with their sensitvity

I had servers I am lasering people and felt like another game

[inland zodiac]

Anyone know where to turn off the aim-magnetism in the settings?

[worldly badger]

Ill let you know

[inland zodiac]

just found it under keyboard/mouse

[worldly badger]

under controller

its aim magnetism or mnk too ya

[inland zodiac]

yeah haha

[worldly badger]

aim magnetism "slighly" pulls the reticle

[midnight lotus]

is the pistol nerfed in infinite compared to other halos?

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[elfin glacier]

It's a different pistol

[candid solar]

You're a different pistol

[cedar turret]

I have to question my neighbors priorities. There is a fallen tree covering about a quarter of their yard and having taken out half their fence and they decided to build a swing set

[supple hazel]

[lapis ivy]

Surprised that halo infinite was free in steam and played it yesterday but there was a server issue

Agh my whole squad got wiped out in FF koth

[round laurel]

What do you mean?

[obsidian wyvern]

yo anyone know the forge mode which had a kill ball that chased u

[lapis ivy]

It bugged out and was loading forever @round laurel

[hasty zinc]

Indiana Jones?

[obsidian wyvern]

it was that huh, not made in infinite :(

well there was a map but no mode

[lapis ivy]

I couldn't get into multiplayer on both steam and Windows infinite

And then I fell asleep and I woke up and found that it's working again

[normal owl]

Still more work to do today but mannnnn I've got weekend fever already.

[lapis ivy]

Halo news, multiplayer were loading forever and I couldn't get into multiplayer to finish my BP yesterday and now it's working

Same thing happened with the previous update

[worldly badger]

Why are the HCS weapon bundles for the Battle Rifle the primary weapon is the Bandit Evo

[tight remnant]

Tell me more revenant

[obsidian wyvern]

we actually did find an Indiana Jones game that pretty much worked

it was called Indiana John's lol

[floral pollen]

Jus hit Diamond General

[obsidian wyvern]

I think everyone here should play ffa so I can actually find matches in the mode, thanks

[winter flame]

i will play just so i can match with you and then t-bag you 🙂

[worldly badger]

I can try to search but through the magic of the sbmm you might still not find a match

[winter flame]

also i will ignore every other player and only hunt you

[worldly sedge]

I was looking at the Firefight medals now in the game and this struck me:

Breacher: Kill 5 enemies with SMG weapons in a game.

[worldly badger]

It took me around 10 minutes for finding each placement game in ranked snipers I powered through getting my placements and called it quits

[worldly sedge]

What SMG weapons?

[inland zodiac]

Needler

[worldly badger]

I was matching against diamond 5s and placed D1

[worldly sedge]

The Needler as an SMG bamboozled my mind lol I see it like an automatic pistol, but I’ll look it up

[craggy hare]

Were you also winning in addition to 'matching'

[worldly badger]

I was indeed winning but a lot of the games were my team getting slammed

[craggy hare]

.....

Smh, teams letting enemies slam

[winter flame]

after placing you immediately go up a few ranks so its possible you just played against people who placed the same as you and have played a lot more

[worldly badger]

What I mean is I was performing personally but my team couldnt hang in the lobby

[winter flame]

An Onyx 1600 will play their placements against Onyx 1600 players and place diamond

[lavish stratus]

Did anyone else have to agree to new terms and conditions after the update ? Some message popped up mid game for me I couldn’t even read because I was pressing buttons playing and skipped the message. very sus

[worldly badger]

I was matching 1800s in previous season players in my regular ranked placements and got D2 meanwhile the 1800 player won only 1 out of 5 games and got D5

[winter flame]

its not about winning

[worldly badger]

It doesnt really matter

It takes your previous rank position and just bumps you down like 200-300csr

[winter flame]

probably

enjoy the easy games for a week

[craggy hare]

New acc works unless you want to fight time

[worldly badger]

oh ya I tested with new accs

[obsidian wyvern]

play then

[worldly badger]

and can fly past my main accounts rank because my mmr isnt hard stuck

[winter flame]

im tired rn

i will play FFA with u tho

[worldly badger]

but I don't want to play with an alt acc kinda boring

[bold lark]

Hey anybody who has gotten a fire unicorn how long does it take to pop into your account

[worldly badger]

if I play good in social before going into ranked I can get D5 easy

[craggy hare]

You might even get d6

[worldly badger]

It worked in season 3 with bot bootcamp thats how good the mmr system is

I was getting 1900 lobbies because I popped off against bots on my alt

and got destroyed but still placed D5

[winter flame]

they did address that

[craggy hare]

The smurf wars are crazy

[bold lark]

Anybody know?

[craggy hare]

All the anti Gargamel propaganda too

[ocean herald]

yeah indiana jones

[worldly badger]

I made my account name "testing ranked" and everyone thought I was a reverse boosting

[craggy hare]

Like he's the bad guy all of a sudden

[obsidian wyvern]

Indiana John's* cmon osky

[ocean herald]

so true, silly me

[worldly badger]

After I placed D5 I saw my theory worked and abandoned the account to not grief more games

my ten 40 kill games against bots convinced the game I was goated

[red plover]

I wish they would make a halo film with the story of CE

[spare ferry]

Been loving HD2 but…
Halo might get some new or returning players soon

[worldly badger]

why because of the sony account thing?

[ripe willow]

yes it is

halo: where did it bring you back to? back to me!

[worldly badger]

wait until they find out Infinite requires a microsoft account

[ripe willow]

already have one lmao i'm just triggered that they should have done it in the beginning and sony doesnt have a great reputation when it comes to having your data secured plus 60+ regions not available to make a psn basically those peeps are being robbed

[worldly badger]

I am curious why psn is not available in those regions

[nimble gull]

New vehicle coming to matchmaking?

[nimble gull]

Is Halo Infinite good??

The multiplayer

[inland zodiac]

i really enjoy the gunplay, specially the grapple

[silent ice]

halo 7 multiplayer is better

[lapis ivy]

Lol what?

[red plover]

just found out how the elites eat.

they rip the food apart with their bare hands and shove it down their throats.

Burp

[fickle drift]

literally just did that

[worldly badger]

the oil spill one possibly

idk who would photoshop that

[dusty peak]

I really need to chuck my two cents in on halo infinite spartan points earnings. I clicked on a item that I know that I don't have points for and it states of course insufficient funds. And it states the only way to earn is from doing challenges which is only from every one daily match and from the ultimate weekly challenge. Sadly there ain't a few challenges on it weekly to help out on that. And of course of the pass.

My big train of thought is bring back the old method of like year one of the daily thing. So you can at least earn like 1st game as like 500 sp, 2nd game like 450, 3rd game like 300, 4th game like 250 and 5 and up games as a constant 100 SP of just playing any match making games

As I know like the first of it was like for the XP gain and which at the 5th game and over that we get like 50 XP per game for the season pass

Hello I’m new do you know where I can share my YouTube videos in here

[untold tundra]

Ranked is so bad the game is not fun to play in ranked because the net work can suck my

It’s just absolutely horrible. Not a single game played six in a row to get ranked and it was awful.

Network pack problem. I don’t know what it is not fun every game there’s a problem every single game not kidding.

#1076327824924872755 , as long as it's halo!

Crap I accidentally write it the wrong way and deleted it I going try it again anyway thank you

[south sundial]

Hello halo people

How is everyone

[lavish hamlet]

who runs this iratus account

received a warning for nothing

[sleek wigeon]

that's a bot

it's notorious for uh... misinterpretting common words.

[lavish hamlet]

like i might get another warning right now watch

alright nvm i guess we’re good

[sleek wigeon]

anyway, you want to avoid talking about the moderation here. Any complaints about moderation is directed to the mod private chat, where people have been pushed to frustrations of all kinds before, ranging from literally crying to rage quitting the entire server.

[lavish hamlet]

LOL dear god i was not aware

[worldly badger]

@lavish hamlet someone took down your comment because its not official released yet the coating so they said "no leaks"

[sleek wigeon]

i'm

THAT'S not officially released yet? Am I insane?

[worldly badger]

Its in June I guess

[sleek wigeon]

but yeah, no leaks.

Seriously, i thought we already had that

[worldly badger]

It looks like spilled oil paint on the armor

[sleek wigeon]

anyway, go ahead and delete the question asking about it i guess.

[lavish hamlet]

yea and i had asked if that was a rumor in that same post I saw it on reddit

[sleek wigeon]

i was thinking of the banner. lol.

[elfin glacier]

You mean iridescence?

[worldly badger]

yes but to me it looked like spilled oil

[sleek wigeon]

ehhh sure? but anyway, i like iridescent stuff and oil on water aesthetics.

[lavish hamlet]

i’m still gonna rock it anyway lol

[sleek wigeon]

if it's free i will.

[lavish hamlet]

everyone’s thinking the same thing, it’s weird because it’s “pride” but it’s so beautiful it doesn’t matter

[worldly badger]

for sure it will be a login reward most likely

[sleek wigeon]

might reinstall it long enough to do that

[lavish hamlet]

LOL yea same i’m gonna have to reinstall for that

[worldly badger]

like the mental health awareness/pacific islander coatings that are out now

[lavish hamlet]

i have watchdog and pride looks way better imo

[sleek wigeon]

isn't watchdog like gray and red?

[meager linden]

Good morning spartans

[fervent fern]

Something went wrong the post link is not working is there a cooldown on what time I should be posting

[lavish hamlet]

yes and they have 2 versions because ppl complained about the colors

[sleek wigeon]

i mean, cool, but aren't both of them grey and red?

[worldly badger]

The first version looked like a shop coating from season 1

[lavish hamlet]

lmaooo agreed

[sleek wigeon]

Cadet Bland?

[lavish hamlet]

indeed brotha, granular is the closest to pride i think i wish i had that.. also better than watchdog lmao

[sleek wigeon]

i do think it's weird you can approximate the value of a coating by how shiny it is

[worldly badger]

then people were like wth its a shop coating that people grinded for on halo 5 so they redesigned it

[sleek wigeon]

but i guess the same thing is usually true for rocks, so

[lavish hamlet]

i’ve always been so bad at halo i just love the franchise

[sleek wigeon]

my brother told me there's a halo anime, so i googled it, and

it's a german-american-japanese product. Like what, was this anime made by nasa?

that's a semi-dark joke

[worldly badger]

if it was nasa got their priorities straight

[lavish hamlet]

spacex ftw

[sleek wigeon]

but i started thinking about it, and i remembered that halo is pretty unpopular in japan

[worldly badger]

The spacex boosters landing back down never ceased to amaze me

[sleek wigeon]

i wonder if that's because of poor localization.... anyway, i like anime, and it's weird to me that we dont' have a ghost in shell type of anime for halo

because it could be freakin awesom

[worldly badger]

best we can do is paramount plus halo take it or leave it

[sleek wigeon]

naaaaaaaaaaah

i don't begrudge the halo tv show

but i'm certainly not satisfied by it.

and i think the thing to do about that, is to push for more and better media.

• I even have a 'proof' of sorts that the tv show is technically at least okay

it's rather similar to mass effect, and mass effect was good. so it's similar to something that's good, at the very least.

the fact i don't care for it personally doesn't make it bad. But I do want stuff that I like.

[half belfry]

Is it my bad wifi or is it a bug where the hammer sometimes doesn’t hit when it’s supposed to

Because the enemy will be standing in the new effective range of the hammer but they won’t die even if I’m staring at them right in the face

[obsidian wyvern]

welcome to halo infinite

[half belfry]

It’s most likely me

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[half belfry]

Oh?

[obsidian wyvern]

the hammer is inconsistent af

[half belfry]

Deminisher of hope is the only one with a longer range then a melee

Which still, doesn’t hit sometimes

Why did they even nerf the hammer? It’s a power weapon. It’s like saying “we need to nerf the skewer, give it less range”

[obsidian wyvern]

play 2 matches of husky raid and youll understand

[fickle drift]

why?

[maiden granite]

where are all the mcc players at? trying to play halo ce social games but not getting anything

[hybrid zealot]

Their changing it so that PC players have to link their steam account with a PSN account or else they can’t play

[fickle drift]

psn?

[hybrid zealot]

PlayStation Network

halo ce doesnt have online matchmaking. add all the halos to your search.

can anyone tell me any fps boosters for halo infin

[meager linden]

Upgrade computer

Get some better PC parts?

[rare cedar]

Just like wifi boosters, they sell fps boosters at Best Buy for pretty cheap.

May The 4th 🫡

[hard crane]

With each day passing my passion for a SW tactics game is growing stronger

[normal owl]

But they zoom all the way in with the tactics on a lightsaber fight, so the turns are just single strikes, blocks, or Force actions. So it's the speed of Kenobi vs Vader on the Death Star 🐢

[hard crane]

Nahhhh, a full on turn based game for me

[normal owl]

Haha yes, I was messing

[hard crane]

Gimmi XCOM but it's Star Wars and you have an unlimited supply of clones and each can grow to be a legend of its own!

[spare ferry]

Real shame EA pulled the plug on a MANDALORIAN GAME. The profit you could make from a Mandalorian game would be insane, think EA, think

[jade walrus]

Fun fact, star wars day is on microsoft’s creation day

[normal owl]

I did not know that, that is fun!

[hard crane]

I'm surprised nothing was announced today tbh

[jade walrus]

Oof, a mandalorian game would be fun

[fickle drift]

*could

[normal owl]

I wonder if Outlaws will channel some of that energy, bc the best fit for a Mando game is third-person. SWBF2 had great mechanics, but Outlaws may hone the direction into one that fits Mando.

[spare ferry]

I was excited for Outlaws but after that overview trailer my hype kinda died down, Ubisoft kinda did a Ubisoft and it doesn’t seem as appealing

[hard crane]

Outlaws will most probably channel some of that "run around in a semi-like-open-world, do some delivering quests for me until you level up enough to bypass that levelgate"

[normal owl]

The gameplay trailer actually excited me more, bc it seems like they're putting work into deepening the gameplay, which in turn makes any kind of quest more fun.

[spare ferry]

We need Jedi Robes in Infinite
Or the poncho from the H5 teaser

[normal owl]

I'm one of the people that are very excited to simply live in that world: more Assassin's Creed than Outer Worlds.

[normal owl]

Very possible they add cameos from other games!

[hard crane]

I'm mostly cautious because I know exactly what's the Ubisoft formula at this point

[jade walrus]

Jedi Master Chief

[left bone]

uargh

[normal owl]

I'll be curious to see, since I actually love Ubisoft's AC formula: the fact that you almost could not possibly complete all the side quests in the world drives home the immersion that you are among living communities. But I haven't been as big a fan of Massive's open world stuff.

[hard crane]

I'm honestly surprised because you're the first one I've been talking about who loves the modern AC formula (self included, although I couldn't get into Valhalla yet)

[normal owl]

The mental hurdle is completionism. Once past that, it feels cool to run past a little village where there could be individuals who would need things but you may never know because you ran past. It's the opposite of open-world games where essentially the entire world outside of hubs is window dressing.

[hard crane]

What do you think about immortals phoenix rising?

[normal owl]

I never got a chance to play it unfortunately, but I heard it's excellent at its vision: to be a more lightheaded and super powered version of essentially Odyssey's Atlantis DLC (which I adore).

[obsidian wyvern]

outlaws' teaser looked good and then everything after that kinda said dont buy this

[normal owl]

Don't worry guys, I'll buy it and let you know.

[hard crane]

It's very fun, I suggest picking it up whenever you can (thankfully Ubisoft are also great with making their games cost way less pretty quickly)

[normal owl]

Then inevitably when it gets discounted I won't be able to resist buying it for people lol

[obsidian wyvern]

this guy is cool af though

[normal owl]

YES, the Ubi price half-life is very steep and I love it haha

[jade walrus]

“aewaaayahaa-” - halo 3 elite

[normal owl]

I'm excited for that companion! It's perfect bc sometimes AI companions can seem stiff and not fully human...which is taken care of by it being a droid.

[hard crane]

And their subscription service makes it even easier, just sub for a month and you could probably finish one or two games for 1/6 of an AAA release

I actually never finished WDL and Immortals when I think about it 🤔

Almost finished AC origins and Odyssey, not entirely but far too in it to start again now

And I just bought Prince of Persia... So I'll probably buy Outlaws when it hits the Ubisoft discount

[normal owl]

My 2 favorite AC games of all time

Being able to run around in two richly detailed and archeologically researched civilizations that I've read a bunch about was an experience beyond gaming.

[fickle drift]

Not trying to barge into the conversation, but I understand that feeling. Good times.

[normal owl]

That's exactly what a good Assassin does: barge in.

[fickle drift]

That's a good point.

[hard crane]

Same!

[fickle drift]

You know, this might be random, but anyone else find it weird that this Operation only brought one new shop bundle?

Compared to previous Operations, this is the least shop-ified one so far(that price tho...).

Nope, not really weird

[worldly sedge]

Ubisoft games for me right now are boring and uninspired

[hard crane]

Random question, have you got to play Ryse?

[worldly sedge]

I am tired of these Assassin Creed games and how RPG-gear based they are

[fickle drift]

I wish games would try to implement gun jamming again.

[normal owl]

I never got to, and I ended up watching the game movie on YT.

[fickle drift]

Make you actually care about your weapons.

[hard crane]

Ubisoft games are overall fine, not great and not bad; you can get some good 30-40 hours from it, just make sure to wait few months and get them on a half off

[hard crane]

Such an underrated game, that one and ReCore

[normal owl]

That's an opinion, but as the sales numbers prove there are many like me that love the RPG-ness of AC.

[normal owl]

I heard ReCore was one of the proto NMS where they did such significant post-release work on it that it became very excellent.

[normal owl]

You might enjoy Metro Exodus, the game we've talked about recently here. It distinguishes between mag and revolver and shotguns, giving a higher jamming chance to mag based guns.

[worldly sedge]

I liked the linear gameplay of AC because it was simple and didn’t require you to invest 1000 hours into the game

[hard crane]

Yepppp.
Sadly being an Xbox one release, it's easy to understand why it fell under the chairs; with some better publishings efforts it could've been counted as a great title to talk about

[normal owl]

Didn't a legendary dev work on it, the guy who made one of the seminal Capcom IPs?

[fickle drift]

Oh yeah, I loved Metro Exodus, but I was also thinking about Fallout: New Vegas too.

[normal owl]

A doctor with good taste!

[hard crane]

According to howlongtobeat, AC origins takes 30h to finish, 84h to complete; AC Odyssey takes 45h to finish, 143 to fully complete

A bit less than 1000h

[floral pollen]

morning

[fickle drift]

I appreciate those kind words.

Good morning to you as well.

[hard crane]

Idk about it, but I do know one of the lead directors worked on Metroid Prime

[fickle drift]

Samus would make for a pretty awesome Spartan imo

[worldly sedge]

The only reason why I enjoyed Odyssey was because it takes place in Greece and as a mythology lover I like to get to understand the culture & all that

Origins it was okay, dropped it early because it didn’t fit with me

[normal owl]

Now I finally understand how @obsidian wyvern feels when people don't like Halo 3.

[fickle drift]

Quick question: When was the last time Infinite got a new victory pose?

[obsidian wyvern]

you knew how it felt when I said lotr was boring

[floral pollen]

Season 4 I believe
maybe S5 but I can't remember

[fickle drift]

Okay, I got an image showcasing the full Season 5 pass up... and there is no victory pose present in it.

[pliant hatch]

they were probly in the shop

[fickle drift]

I don't see anything from the Reckoning season.

[static helm]

Where could I post my voice clip for a brute?

[pliant hatch]

do you mean free ones?

[pliant hatch]

[fickle drift]

I would say show and tell.

[obsidian wyvern]

season 4 was the last time

[fickle drift]

Thank you.

[obsidian wyvern]

actually

infection was season 5 right, the stance battle ready was released then

there's actually quite a few that came out during s5

[candid solar]

Do you know how much power she'd lose doing that?

[fickle drift]

You make a fantastic point.

[obsidian wyvern]

for some reason one s5 one is saying it came out during s4

[fickle drift]

Well, that's odd.

[static helm]

Thanks

[obsidian wyvern]

I count 17

[fickle drift]

You're welcome.

[fickle drift]

From S5?

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[fickle drift]

I see, but since then, no new poses have been added?

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[fickle drift]

Interesting.

So that means that new poses stopped with S5, along with the Bandit Evo, and ever since then, the newest weapons have been the sandwiches...

My brain is starting to do something, but I'm not sure what.

Okay

[pliant hatch]

k

[floral pollen]

S4 may have been the last one then
Ik there was a few ones

[candid solar]

I do want many more poses.

[floral pollen]

I honestly want the ability to swap out weapons on some stances
I get that not all of them could work on every stance, but some could work on a few others

[obsidian wyvern]

if you go to stances and filter by season and descending, you can see there were quite a bit released during s5

also buying that needler attachment was a mistake, there's like 5 helmets you can put them on and it doesn't include kats

[soft kiln]

what's a good killscore in gruntpocalypse?

[floral pollen]

honestly why I'm not gonna get it tbh

[civic walrus]

I average like 3k

[floral pollen]

Dunno rly, I average like 5k ish tho

[soft kiln]

oh sorry i meant like how many kills 😄

[floral pollen]

150-200+ I'd say

[soft kiln]

cool cool. i wish i would have kept a record while the gruntpocalypse was on. got 189 now and felt that maybe i got more in some games but i really dont check the scoreboard at all usually

[floral pollen]

I think my kill record is like 385 or sumn in Gruntpocalypse lol

[mystic marsh]

Hello guys.

Sorry for being a bit inactive, but I pretty much binge watched the whole Star Wars prequels trilogy.

Now that RotS is my favourite movie now, it's Anakin Skywalker.

Some of it.

Neat.

Time to think about things.

[soft kiln]

i am tempted

[spare ferry]

Arbiter Vs Darth Vader would be such an epic battle

Or Vs Atriox

[fickle drift]

So, Arby getting force choked and dying imediately counts as 'epic'

[spare ferry]

Fair point 😭

[candid solar]

Force be op.

Though elite swordsmanship is pretty damn sloppy, it wouldn't be that much of a fight for Anakin.

I just wanna thank the mods for not banning me

I just think the helm for some reason really suits Mirage

[spare ferry]

Arbiter Vs Boba Fett would be a pretty neat fight

[sleek wigeon]

boba tends to fight less than he tends to assassinate, but it might be a good match.

what I would be really interested in is ODST versus Republic commandos.

[livid oyster]

Commandos win. Those are my boys

[sleek wigeon]

it's a close call, but personally I would hand it to the odsts.

yyyyyou posted the same link twice?

[tawny cloak]

Sorry

Did you see it

😲

[sleek wigeon]

I think in a straight up fight, the commandos would win. and the reason I think that it's because their reflexes are probably better than most humans are able to get to.

but if you're talking about an urban firefight, or jungle warfare, I feel like the ODSTs have that one hands down. if for no other reason, functional camouflaged armor instead of sheets of Gray.

Star Wars vs halo. Who would win

[sleek wigeon]

if you could give the commandos equipment accessible to the odsts, I think it would probably increase their survivability

[hard crane]

generally, don't click links being sent on discord if you don't know the person who sent them directly

[left bone]

i wonder if halo armor could be made today (without the energy shields part)

[livid oyster]

I don’t think so. It’s not practical to have armor that heavy

[sleek wigeon]

not really. not yet. biggest issue is power distribution.

that said, they have made some pretty cool improvements on that front

[candid solar]

Hypothetically, sure, but it wouldn't operate to the same degree.

[sleek wigeon]

can't talk about some of it without getting into some of the real world politics behind it, which is a general bad idea to bring up, but there are rigs that have the potential to increase a soldier's carry load to 300 lb without loss of mobility

[candid solar]

A lot of the bottlenecks are in material science and power generation.

[left bone]

i think power armor is possible

[sleek wigeon]

it doesn't help them punch any harder or anything, it's just a superior back to leg weight distribution device

that said, if you had a harness of armor that you needed to not slow down the user from its weight, you would definitely want the person wearing it to have that kind of thing equipped

[candid solar]

... What word got that axed? Huh. Didn't even get a warning.

[livid oyster]

Powered armor just isn’t a thing. And if we’re just talking regular armor, that’s just not practical. One of the reasons we moved away from steel armor was foot troops couldn’t cover as much distance

[sleek wigeon]

and as long as there's going to be people having to fight through streets, doorways, alleyways, etc, there's always going to be a heavy appeal to armor fit for a tank on the scale of a human

[candid solar]

Weird. Anyways, I imagine it would work like Fallout Power Armor in that troops would wear armor more for the equipment carrying than for the armor.

[sleek wigeon]

you have to remember that the bot is dumb. you cannot say far ther because it thinks you're talking about passing gas

[sleek wigeon]

I think the two concepts are valid separately. for some reason though, whenever people think of EXO frames, they only think about the armor it can support, not the hundreds of pounds of batteries necessary to operate ground level electronics

or ammo

machine guns are hungry.

[candid solar]

Hence why most franchises get around it via either mini fusion reactors (Halo) or hyperdense nuclear batteries (Fallout) or efficient fuel cells (Battletech).

[sleek wigeon]

that, too. what I mean is that getting hundreds of pounds of batteries through Urban terrain that can't support ground vehicles is a major pain in the rump. EXO frames capable of carrying the battery's necessary to operate radio equipment for example would be very nice. especially if that equipment is upstairs. three stories.

no I'm not bitter. your back hurts, not mine.

[candid solar]

Laughs in professional refueler tire swapper

[livid oyster]

Probably more efficient to have robots for that role then to outfit humans with a power hungry suit that weighs 500-1000 lbs

That weight would make moving in a lot of environments tricky

[sleek wigeon]

yeah, mules and donkeys generally don't like going upstairs while under loads

[candid solar]

Figuring out robots was the worst thing that could've ever happened to humanity. Now we're doomed to be power armorless losers.

[sleek wigeon]

"now we yell at eachother without ever having the thought to build a giant weaponized robot!"

[sleek wigeon]

if such a thing can be fixed while maintaining the language standards, I'll be impressed. I figured it was just a cost of modern day interaction.

which brings me to point number three.

Because people are incredibly weird and inappropriate with the gas one

[sleek wigeon]

ahhhhh.

[steady jolt]

To the point we got fed up and filtered it

[candid solar]

I always found it funny that the text that introduces Spartans also heavily implies that the UNSC had basically already won the conflict by the time Spartans were combat ready.

That’s one way to look at it

[soft kiln]

i have had to ask on customer service chats if the "person" im talking to is a bot/AI because they have kept answering in this really superpolite/nonhuman way. so creepy.

[cedar turret]

You know those are heavily scripted right?

They’re required to give specific answers in response to specific questions with little leeway

Had a friend due it during undergrad and she had a giant binder with each question and what she was supposed to read back

They’re also heavily timed and get money docked if the calls last too long

[amber mirage]

Depends on the place. That's not universal among customer service.

[soft kiln]

yeah that's what i meant. but it has been superscripted sometimes that i truly feel like they didnt even read what i wrote.

sometimes when u go to a customer service chat in my own country, then its on the other end and they are too unprofessional 😂

[cedar turret]

It’s a mixed bag. My experiences with nintendos customer service are 100 percent positive. Amazon has been mostly positive though there was one where I had to explain that I didn’t live on a loading dock in Michigan and that took an hour plus.

I sent an Xbox back to Microsoft cause the disc tray didn’t work anymore and they sent me back a letter saying they couldn’t find the problem and the serial numbers on my Xbox had mysteriously changed.

[round laurel]

That has to be mistake.

As far as I know they haven't mentioned anything about it, have they?

[floral pollen]

no clue

I don't think so, unless we all missed sumn

[pulsar cobalt]

Maybe just a icon glitch ?

[winter flame]

how did XP for CG work? was it like a % of your match XP or just time allocated?

[floral pollen]

There wasn't an icon for XP tho, it was just the letters
so if it is that's a pretty big glitch

[floral pollen]

not sure tbh

[winter flame]

yeah 10 XP per full minute spent in the Custom Game

[floral pollen]

I'll test in a sec to see if it actually gives SP or not

[pulsar cobalt]

Ah right yeah it just said XP didn't it

[round laurel]

It says XP for me: https://imgur.com/a/bW7tHik

[floral pollen]

I'm checking rn to see what it gives me

[frosty siren]

Ok its finsihef

[forest lagoon]

Bright and shiny. I like

[frosty siren]

I eveb added a halo saw twsit on it

[floral pollen]

yea it gave XP, dunno why it showed SP

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah it gives 7500

I mean I guess that can be abused with the type of customs you play, but after 2 hours of messing around yesterday, I got like 160xp

[floral pollen]

Part of the reason I don't play customs
No CR and barely any XP

Plus I'm honestly not a fan of a lot of the custom modes lol

[soft kiln]

there are some really cool custom maps. i love those +20 people campaign attrition maps

we come as a horde,its so cool to run there with everybody

[floral pollen]

maps are cool, yea

[worldly sedge]

When will Master Chief come back to Fortnite?

[civic walrus]

whenever epic runs out of crossovers

[worldly sedge]

Haha

[ornate sequoia]

Hi Microsoft, how do you define fun in video games?

well, microtr oh um...

[worldly sedge]

Psychonauts

I loved Psychonauts 2, such a good game

[amber mirage]

Psychonauts was great

Can't wait for 3 in another 12 or so years

[worldly sedge]

I know people still play Sea of Thieves, it’s fun with friends but idk I haven’t played it in awhile

[obsidian wyvern]

it's on ps as well now

[worldly sedge]

Last time I played it, I left food cooking on the stove and the ship caught on fire

[amber mirage]

Now you've learned a valuable lesson

[worldly sedge]

Only a month until the Xbox Showcase, I’m interested in what’s gonna be presented

[fickle drift]

Perfect Dark 🥴

[ornate sequoia]

Are Indie Games thinning out the community? 🤔

[amber mirage]

To an extent

Although it's not specifically indie games. It's that there are more games in general now.

[bronze breach]

damn infinite froze up and crashed on me

[bold sparrow]

No ones ever playing those tho.

[bronze breach]

update seem to made the game freeze up

[pliant hatch]

I had a game where everyone was walking into walls, but the game didn't crash.

[fickle drift]

After how many weeks will the list of items in the Spartan Points store be refreshed?

I don't see a timeframe for purchase.

[obsidian wyvern]

every new op

[bold sparrow]

Every season. So, next month give or take

[fickle drift]

Life tip: Don't make a Twitter account.

[civic walrus]

way ahead of you

[fickle drift]

Very good.

In other news, it turns out that the Unbound Plasma Pistol does NOT have the EMP effect.

I asked Halo Support is that was intended, and they said it was.

Personally, I don't see how giving the UPP the EMP property could go that badly. It's not even that strong(in my experience with using it).

[floral pollen]

its also not really on any maps either, outside of Big Team Super Fiesta

[fickle drift]

Also a fair point.

You know, I seem to remember ske7ch was on here answering questions on May 19 of last year.

"Spartan Chatter", that's it. My brain started working again.

Would be nice to actually get the chance to ask the devs questions.

Man, I suck at conversations.

Energy sword or lightsaber, which one is cooler?

[amber mirage]

I do not know which operates at a lower temperature

[soft kiln]

how so? i play them all the time

[fickle drift]

Energy sword my beloved. <3

[soft kiln]

energy sword 100000%

the amount of time we spend trying to grab it in halo ce and then getting it in 2....oh my

[fickle drift]

Valid.

Halo 4 wasn’t that bad…

I’ll say lightsabers since there’s a lot more variety in aesthetics and fighting styles.

[fickle drift]

@soft kiln?

[soft kiln]

this is herecy

[soft kiln]

i am not a fan 😅 i think ive played the campaign once and i regret iit

[fickle drift]

Reasonable.
I found myself having fun when playing it with my dad.

I was only having fun after I realized that knights are just Elites that teleport.

[floral pollen]

I like the Forerunner side of the sandbox in 4

[soft kiln]

for me it just didnt feel like a halo game at all 😔

[fickle drift]

The weapons are awesome, but the enemies are annoying.

[soft kiln]

but we are luckily past that era and now got infinite

[fickle drift]

Infinite is pretty good.

You guys think we're getting another Spartan Chatter soon or is that just unlikely?

[round laurel]

Idk, probably not soon.
It'd likely just coincide with an event or announcement. So... whenever that is.

There's always the potential for something Halo to show up at that Xbox thing next month I suppose.

[fickle drift]

Well, they did seem to start one on a smaller scale on May 5, then did a "full Chatter" on the 19 of the same month last year.

If anyone here can answer: How long has Spartan Chatters been at thing? And also, if they have been a thing for a decent while, do they have a consistent date of occurence?

[hasty zinc]

no schedule for them, they just happen when they do

[fickle drift]

I see...

[normal owl]

This new solar avatar decoration is badass...but from far away it makes me look like Sauron.

[hasty zinc]

oooh there is space stuff now??

[normal owl]

Check your DM

Isn't it amazing!

[hasty zinc]

holy cow!!

this is PERFECTION

hold on, let me adjust my pfp

[left bone]

i just had the biggest grin of my life

[hasty zinc]

done

[normal owl]

HAHAHAHA

[fickle drift]

What do lawyers wear to work?

[normal owl]

Suit

[fickle drift]

Law suits.

Why shouldn't you trust trees?

They seem shady.

[bronze breach]

In my law firm people where casual smart clothes while my supervisor comes in polo shirt and jeans

[fickle drift]

Interesting.

[bronze breach]

I always wear a suit myself

[hasty zinc]

it suits you

[bronze breach]

Well not for long. 16th May is my last day!

Looking for new work atm, just difficult right now. And leaving out of necessity

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL

[normal owl]

None of them are fitting me that well.

[fickle drift]

...the moderation won't let me do it.

I know what will happen if I try...

[obsidian wyvern]

one u got now goes well with the gold on your profile

just cuts off your hair slightly

[normal owl]

Which one, the swirly thing?

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[normal owl]

Yeah that was exactly the problem

And this "constellation" one just looks like a spore cloud

[bronze breach]

Looks like the portal from no way home tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[bronze breach]

The 30k coating on the exchange seem not to be worth it lol

How on earth can it cost so much

[fickle drift]

I'm gonna say it.

That coating is definition of MID!

[obsidian wyvern]

it's not even cross core

[bronze breach]

Rip

[soft kiln]

who was the one who posted that

[hard crane]

I grabbed the cloud9 black/blue one earlier, it's a one time payment and now I don't feel like chasing coatings anymore so there you go

[fickle drift]

Don't worry, they're probably gone now.

[bronze breach]

That guy over there

[fickle drift]

Who?

[bronze breach]

At least 17k for me is going to be used up for tenrai exchange

Need that horn helmet to complete my devil spartan

[left bone]

there is never enough horns

[fickle drift]

I know what I really want to see come in with (either late into this operation) the next Operation, and there's a part of me that really wants my "non-descriptive substance in association with pottery" theory to be true. But I just don't know anymore.

[round laurel]

"non-descriptive substance theory"

Wut.

[bronze breach]

As for armor cores, I dont think we will see any more tbh

[fickle drift]

Can't explain, would get the bot angry.

[fickle drift]

Well, either that, or they're working on something similar to an armor core but not exactly.

[obsidian wyvern]

I should've kept my Spartan credits instead of using it for the blamite

[bronze breach]

🤣

[obsidian wyvern]

just need enough for when the good stuff comes around

[bronze breach]

All mine would be gone for tenrai

[fickle drift]

Not gonna say what I'm trying to imply, as I know the wildfire that will start as a result. But it is a theory that I have.

[bronze breach]

I only missed 1 daily sp challenge

But infinite seem to have a problem with bsod with anti cheat

Concerned it will eventually corrupt hdd

[fickle drift]

I don't even know where to set my expectations for the rest of Infinite's live service to be honest.

It's flip flopping around.

[bronze breach]

I think they phasing down tbh

And focusing on their next project

[fickle drift]

Then WHY would the be sending out those surveys if it they don't MEAN anything? That makes no sense.

Why get a consensus of the community's opinions and thoughts on the game, if you're not somewhat focusing any effort on the game?

[bronze breach]

To tune the balance. To me it feels like it's easier than making content lol

[obsidian wyvern]

I've got 2 friends crashing a lot as of late

and my game freezes a lot

[bronze breach]

Same. I crashed during a firefight match

[fickle drift]

That's plausible, but who is taking that survey an answering with "oh yeah, can we this weapon one percent slower"?

[round laurel]

My performance has tanked since the latest update. I'm getting a lot of stuttering and freezes which require me to tab out to fix.

[bronze breach]

I think its anti cheat. Because it was never the problem before

[round laurel]

It was fine before the latest update though.

[bronze breach]

I still had crashing issue stuttering and freezing came with this one.

[fickle drift]

I think they got SOME big things coming up, otherwise the surveys would be serving barely any purpose. They might be doing one final push of features and/or gameplay additions before going full throttle on the next game.

[bronze breach]

Possibly.

[fickle drift]

I'm HOPING that's the case.

Is it likely? No fricking clue.

[obsidian wyvern]

I have to open the in game chat for it to stop lol, it's so weird

[fickle drift]

Is it POSSIBLE? Definitely.

[round laurel]

I'll try that next time.

[fickle drift]

Let me tell you something, if Infinite actually manages to get things like assassinations, elites(hot topic, we already know), new weapons, vehicles, and basically everything (you know, the big things that are still reasonable) people want out of the multiplayer before the next game takes center stage?

Amazing, chef's kiss, five stars.

But if Infinite gets those things, the community's wishes are granted, and the shop isn't taking up more space than the local American population at a fast food restaurant, then that would be proving the team has true dedication. (NOT saying they aren't dedicated, they're trying their best with the game, I'm sure of it)

The good PR from that would go crazy.

Let's be honest, Infinite still has the potential to be great, potential that should be explored and not just given up on. Whether that be assassinations or whatever, adding those things to Infinite would be proof that they're dedicated to listening to their community. The shop? Maybe that won't ever get much better, but if they were to introduce all the cool content that people wanted to see from the beginning, nobody would complain!

[obsidian wyvern]

it's not happening

[fickle drift]

I'm just saying it's a possibility. I didn't say it was concrete.

[round laurel]

Keep dreaming.

[fickle drift]

We all dream.

I'm just saying...

[craggy geode]

I'm be real, I know the 343 games aren't as good as the bungie ones, but that doesn't mean they suck

[round laurel]

Season 5 was probably the closest this game ever got to what you illustrated above. But meh, you gotta do what you gotta do.

[normal owl]

Actually, Xbox says to power our dreams

[craggy geode]

Every halo release was good, never bad, some just weren't as good as the others

[fickle drift]

It would be cool if it does happen.

[fickle drift]

Well yeah, I'm not trying to degrade anyone's work here.

[fickle drift]

Exactly.

If we don't get that content in Infinite, oh well, there's always next time.

[craggy geode]

I know, but I've just been hearing different people rant and rant saying 343 had the worst halo games and I'm getting tired about it

[fickle drift]

I wish I could be that optimistic, I'm still concerned about the next game dropping things I like that Infinite did

But if we do get that content in Infinite, that would be pretty awesome.

[left bone]

i just wish that infinite deserved better

[craggy geode]

I say I appreciate infinite, I got baraded about how games like reach are better by miles

[left bone]

i see the potential but it got rocked.

hard.

[fickle drift]

Reach fan moment.

[craggy geode]

That's what I'm saying

[normal owl]

As long as the next Halo game is Halo 5: The Sequel + Warzone Is So Back Baby! I will be happy.

[left bone]

...

[fickle drift]

I was thinking more of "Halo Infinite: But Better", but hey, we all have opinions.

[normal owl]

Heck, just Halo: Warzone as a standalone game would be amazing

[craggy geode]

Infinite's good, yet everyone be complaining about its item shop and comparing it to reach all the darn time

It's just cosmetics, the gameplays still the same gawd damn

[fickle drift]

I know, we should compare it to H4's unlock system instead.

Genuinely did like H4's unlock system, with commendations, etc.

[craggy geode]

Plus you literally get the goat's armor set at max level, still not enough for bungie fans

[left bone]

i hate bungie fans

[craggy geode]

Nobody ever shuts up about the bungie ones being better than 343 games

[normal owl]

Relax, no need for that.

[fickle drift]

Oh no, I started a fire again.

This always happens.

[fickle drift]

no one cares

Kinda weird trying to take credit but okay.

[meager linden]

First time?)

[left bone]

calm down

i only said 4 words

[normal owl]

Yeah usually I have to buy my credits.

[fickle drift]

n o

[fickle drift]

says the guy hating people

[left bone]

ok

[fickle drift]

don't be a hater be a lover

[normal owl]

You're intelligent enough to know you used harsh language. Now let's drop it and enjoy our weekend together here.

[bold sparrow]

The next game wont launch in the middle of a global pandemic.

[left bone]

what is love

[fickle drift]

great song

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/jim-carrey-what-is-love-meme-loop-gif-7181564581532448552

[craggy geode]

What I'm trying to say is to stop dragging down the entire game because of cosmetics that don't even affect the gameplay

[fickle drift]

please don't hurt me no more

[craggy geode]

That's what people are doing over and over all the time

[left bone]

when i get my drivers license im gonna blast halo 2's theme song in my car

and go 200mph at a highway

[normal owl]

Totally on board with only part 1 of that lol

[finite patrol]

H2 goated

[left bone]

freeeee biird yeahhh

[fickle drift]

The "ONLY" thing keeping Infinite from being entirely loved(besides the lack of new gameplay content) is the shop, that's really the main issue people have.

[left bone]

no way i made stormtroopr in hal infinit

this is amaazing

[fickle drift]

Incredible.
