general-chat

[round laurel]

I can totally see them implementing SBMM in a future update when they see their retention rate for new players is low.

[worldly badger]

I don't like how sbmm works in most games though it expects you to always be at peak performance when matching you

[obsidian wyvern]

i only want it to flop because people always complain about how bad it is, this will show them its necessary

[hasty zinc]

oh I think I played xdefiant beta

[fickle drift]

Problem is when people say ‘remove sbmm’ they just want lobbies to pubstomp

[steady jolt]

Yep

[worldly badger]

or lobbies to chill out without having to play at their skill levels every match

[round laurel]

so... what Jae said.

[hasty zinc]

that game was not fun when I played it

[signal wedge]

will the game have a ranked mode though

[fickle drift]

You’re always going to get people who play like it’s HCS and people who are missing their frontal lobe, it’s part of the multiplayer

[worldly badger]

pub stomping is not the same as "hey I am not trying this game" but sbmm puts me in lobbies as if I am sweating for a win

[fickle drift]

If you’re not trying you’re throwing

[worldly badger]

you can try to win without sweating every match

theres levels to it

[fickle drift]

Like you don’t play matchmaking just to throw nades in the air and watch the skybox

[fickle drift]

I get that

[worldly badger]

thats trolling not even trying to win

[obsidian wyvern]

lowkey moments like this are awesome

[fickle drift]

I like sbmm

[rare cedar]

me with 300 ping

[signal wedge]

me on my 8th lose streak

[hasty zinc]

now make the legs criss-cross applesauce and it's perfect

[fickle drift]

I get it can come off as ‘we must channel the sweat’ but I just want fun matches that are close in skill

[normal owl]

Man got home and went straight to the Xbox: still got his Chelsea boots on.

[fickle drift]

Not game modes with half players half chimpanzees

[trim saddle]

I think ill let my 7 year old play on my account for a while to drop my KDR so i stop getting paired against onyx and diamond players in social modes.

[signal wedge]

unfortunately some games with sbmm still pairs you with chimpanzees

[steady jolt]

Don't do that

[fickle drift]

Reverse boosting

[trim saddle]

its how the system works, so why not use it?

[fickle drift]

Mr electric, ban him

[normal owl]

Twist: your 7yo is godlike and boosts your rank.

[steady jolt]

Because it's intentionally ruining matchmaking, it can be detected and get your account banned

[obsidian wyvern]

how do you know they're onyx/diamond

also that's pretty much smurfing, kinda cringe

[trim saddle]

that WOULD be my luck honestly

[fickle drift]

That’s not smurfing

[round laurel]

It'll revert back to normal rather quickly.

[trim saddle]

but no both my kids have thier own accounts to play on

[fickle drift]

Smurfing would be him making a new account and soaring to Diamond

[obsidian wyvern]

funniest outcome

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean I know smurfing is with a new account, but if it worked like that, is it not almost the same thing

[fickle drift]

No

It’s called reverse boosting

[trim saddle]

its not smurfing, but its still abusing the system in place.

[fickle drift]

You’re tanking your stats to get easier matches and more wins

[signal wedge]

how abouyt just start to play bad

[obsidian wyvern]

which is also why people smurf, idk I get it doesn't go under the definition of smurfing, but it's pretty much the same to me

[fickle drift]

It’s the same thing as in fighting games; you tank your elo in ranked and feed off of lower ranked players to grind wins and stuff like that

[steady jolt]

That doesn't help anyone

[trim saddle]

ill just play "meh" and still enjoy the game. Ive decided to not try anymore 🙂 which is also why i stay away from ranked.

[fickle drift]

Like Shled mentioned, it’ll come back to where you were at the start

[obsidian wyvern]

same with smurfing

[fickle drift]

Yeah

I mean if you read the description of the game modes they all have like [SOCIAL] or [CORE] at the start so they tell you how the matchmaking is going to be

[signal wedge]

too bad I suck too much to even smurf

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[candid solar]

GEN2 Raider in good lighting and in drab colors, my beloved

[normal owl]

[signal wedge]

[fickle drift]

I wouldn’t worry about it

[candid solar]

I haven't made a render in forever. I really should.

[fickle drift]

Imo smurfing should be something people get banned for

[candid solar]

It is something people have gotten banned for.

[fickle drift]

I haven’t heard of anyone getting banned for it

[candid solar]

I have.

[fickle drift]

Show me

[obsidian wyvern]

mint blitz did lol

[fickle drift]

I don’t trust any reporting stuff for halo, never worked afaik

[obsidian wyvern]

back in halo 5

[fickle drift]

Lol

[normal owl]

There's no "disciplinary update of the week" publication so it's normal that you wouldn't hear about it.

[fickle drift]

I keep running into him in btb

[worldly badger]

I don't think smurfing is a bannable offense its not even an option on the reports

[normal owl]

Oh this should be a good read.

[fickle drift]

Usually it’ll have an option to describe more

[worldly badger]

I mean the quick report option in the menus

[obsidian wyvern]

smurfing goes under bad sportsmanship

[signal wedge]

what if you just want to create a second account

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think you're allowed under Xbox rules

[worldly badger]

oh no my smurf acc.. I'll just take 2minutes to make a new one

[fickle drift]

I wouldn’t know too much about infinite since I barely run into hackers or just reportable things but I know with mcc one dude was always griefing in matchmaking + customs and never got banned, seen him over the course of two years I think

[candid solar]

Wasn't he outright console banned?

[obsidian wyvern]

idk

[fickle drift]

If you make another account and it’s for social games then I don’t see an issue with it, but if it gets done in ranked it’s a big issue with screwing over other players

[candid solar]

Either way, people going to him for debate about matchmaking is like asking a polar bear how not to eat you while you lay supine on a silver platter.

[fickle drift]

That’s oddly specific

[candid solar]

Don't judge my hobbies.

[fickle drift]

I’m sorry, hobbies?

[cedar turret]

Bears aren’t dangerous. You just need to bite them first, show them who is top dog

[fickle drift]

Wtf do you do in your free time lmao

[normal owl]

LOL this article: making the list that they did, yet also "I’m told the multiplayer was very lacking, but as someone who primarily played Halo for the campaign, that doesn’t factor into the decision at all." [Emphasis added.]

Writer ranked worst to best: 5 < Infinite < 4 < CE < 3 < 2 < Reach < ODST

Smh my hips

https://www.mensjournal.com/videogames/halo-games-ranked

[rare cedar]

I'm writing a letter to the editor to fire that author

[candid solar]

That ranking chart makes me want to shoot blood from my eyes.

[normal owl]

They're a disgrace!

[fickle drift]

Nay, it was heresy

[normal owl]

I finally understand the angst of someone who disagreed with a Halo games ranking.

[ocean herald]

i agree. reach should be #1 not odst

[normal owl]

Perfect Response of the Day

[fickle drift]

Indeed

Very fitting lol

[worldly badger]

I get all my gaming news from mensjournal

[fickle drift]

I’m actually surprised the skewer hits anything further than 5 centimetres from the user

[normal owl]

I forgot they existed, and this was not a pleasant reminder.

[obsidian wyvern]

man i cant find that image of mint being banned from 5

[worldly badger]

The first week of easy anticheat had people flying around capping flags in ranked glad they got that under control

[obsidian wyvern]

@fickle drift its not under control is it lol

i think people just got bored of cheating

[fickle drift]

He tried like 3 different times in the same game earlier to jump out of his banshee and shoot me with rockets for the clip

[worldly badger]

I have not seen flyers so far

it was a 4stack of cheaters flying and ending ctf games in like 20seconds

[broken summit]

I need help from someone that lives near mt. vernon in VA, working on decyting a cypher and I don't live close to the drop location for it

[worldly badger]

and they name changed their names with the cheats to impersonate streamer gamertags and the streamers got suspended because of it

was an interesting time

[ocean herald]

this gives me michael scott vibes when he's trying to make a basket and keeps having to try again. "catch you on the flippity flip"

https://youtu.be/NtszTySgA8U?si=KkiX7Fr7arTbi0Q-

[fickle drift]

Yeah, he didn’t hit them

I’m just that good at flying the banshee

[obsidian wyvern]

saw someone trying this yesterday and just failing each time, was so funny

[worldly badger]

thats something steve o would do

[fickle drift]

Haha wtf

[normal owl]

Amazing reference

[fickle drift]

I wasn’t expecting that hammer kill at the end

[obsidian wyvern]

that was the funniest part

[trim saddle]

ive replayed infinite more than i did with 4/5 combined, all the others have replayability and were enjoyable.

[worldly badger]

I played the infinite campaign once

[trim saddle]

id like a little snow and sand in the campaign, but its still entertaining.

[fickle drift]

Yeah I managed to blow up Mint’s banshee from pretty far away with the skewer

My faith in the weapon has been restored

[obsidian wyvern]

😩emoji too big for my liking

[worldly badger]

the epic music then the flawless plasma

[normal owl]

I personally felt the interiors were bare compared to other games, but I enjoyed the romp as well.

[worldly badger]

I seen enough hex shapes in my playthrough

[obsidian wyvern]

I think infinites campaign is the least replayable

[trim saddle]

were you hexed by the campaign?

[worldly badger]

the hex got me vex'd

[obsidian wyvern]

I only did it again to 100% the game, didn't like it

[normal owl]

Lol. Yeah it felt a little like a roguelike: repeating a dungeon with some changes.

Unfortunately the only campaign to make me yawn aside from H3 and ODST.

[obsidian wyvern]

😐

was gonna say at least odst didn't

[trim saddle]

i recently got all the achievements for infinite only because i jumped into the social FFA playlist and got vampireball for the 3 ball kills achievement that i needed.

[normal owl]

But I'm willing to give H3 another chance!

[worldly badger]

if it had more varied biomes as you progressed the campaign would be more interesting

[obsidian wyvern]

nah it was just annoying how u got the edit in before I got my msg in lol

[worldly sedge]

Haven’t gotten all the achievements in Infinite yet because I require co-op partners to do them lol

[normal owl]

Hahaha unintentional but funny

[obsidian wyvern]

those were the ones I got last

[worldly badger]

I am going to this base that looks the same to this other base that looks the same, then capturing this artifact in the place that looks similar to the other place I was at

[trim saddle]

Variety is the spice of life.

[obsidian wyvern]

it took 9 hours to get them all

[worldly sedge]

To be honest, from what I’m reading The Flood it did mention that the first installation had a desert biome but we never got to see that in CE. I don’t think all the Halo rings we have been on in the games HAD a desert biome. Usually grasslands or snow

[obsidian wyvern]

no maybe 5 hours, I can't remember which save is which

[trim saddle]

the "get an enemy killed by the mining laser" one was annoying

[sly ether]

The rookie in halo 3 odst is “literally me” along with the deference for darkness music…just walking in the night rainy city, thinking about what the people I known from my middle school days were doing now.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh with laso and the 100% save it took about 33 hours

[trim saddle]

my LASO was done in 7hours 48mins.. lol

[sly ether]

It really reminds of cowboy bebop and spike Spiegel is one of my favorite protagonist of anime and manga

[trim saddle]

i did 100% on non laso to save some of my sanity.

[obsidian wyvern]

actually I can't tell which save is which, I just know my 100% save was 28½hrs

[trim saddle]

it wasnt fun to have some of the icons not show up on the map for the com towers and skull, but thankfully theres guides for such a thing

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah just used map genie

[fickle drift]

Nothings worse than New Alexandria and it’s rng objectives

[trim saddle]

theres an interactive map thats hosted on some site where it shows everything

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah that's map genie

[trim saddle]

oh then yeah its a great resource

[worldly sedge]

LASO in Infinite is easy with the tank gun, LASO in ODST is surprisingly easy but hard on the last level. Good luck with CE, 2, 3, and 4

[obsidian wyvern]

3 isn't too bad is it

[fickle drift]

Outside of the Scarabs H3 really isn’t bad.

And even then it’s only really the two Scarab fight that drags on forever.

H4’s fine as well with the skips it has, once you learn how to juke Knights it’s very doable

[ocean herald]

i'm a bit of a LASO hater. i never understood the point of making the game borderline unplayable via traditional means lol

[worldly badger]

I can respect it as a challenge pov

I would just play for the story and campaign gameplay

[candid solar]

Installation 04 had scrubland biomes and such, you fight through one on T&R.

And it's also where Autumn landed.

[worldly badger]

well have a good day everyone

[trim saddle]

you as well

i think im gonna have A&W for lunch today. i havent had fast food in a while

[obsidian wyvern]

match with unstable packet loss - 8 ping
Disconnect before entering second match
3rd match with unstable packet loss - 2 ping lol

h e l p

[trim saddle]

thats how mine was before the networking change

now its wonderful

[fossil skiff]

A&W? Haven’t been to one of those in a decade probably. Lovely place.

[rare cedar]

Good night krusty krew

[trim saddle]

sadly theyre slowing disappearing 😦

[ocean herald]

i think root beer when i hear a&w

lmao i didn't realize that it was a restaurant

its made fresh at the restaurant and its SO good.

I saved forge just in case

Did you reset your xbox or pc

[obsidian wyvern]

all 3 of us are in different parts of the world having the same problem at the same time, it's not to do with us

[stark quiver]

Ok but did you reset your consoles

[obsidian wyvern]

ok fair point lol

[fickle drift]

I just turned mine on

I don't want to back out of my forge session

I will do no such thing.

yes I do have local on. it's a problem with infinite

bring back the servers pls

@stark quiver that's enough roleplay please, thank you.

[wild sleet]

Can the servers be back up I don’t want a David Attenborough about birds

[stark quiver]

It was pretty accurate if I do say so myself

[tight remnant]

nope

[stark quiver]

I've sent them a detailed report and their response was to check my local servers lmao

[tight remnant]

I'm still in game meanwhile 🙂

[obsidian wyvern]

im guessing MCC is down too

[obsidian wyvern]

it should still track my achievements if I'm playing the campaign in any case I guess, off to do those

Just don't take off your helmet as you've seen on TV

It’s alive!!! The servers are Alive!!!!

as soon as I switch smh

off to play the better game, halo 3 😤

[ivory rock]

I am so thankful I found this discord. Couldn't get on halo 3 and I was VERY sad

[stark quiver]

Halo 3 betta I agree

[muted plaza]

Halo 4 and infinite >>>

[ivory rock]

Nah Halo 3 is the greatest of all time, followed by Halo 2, then Reach

[muted plaza]

Nuh uh

[stark quiver]

You're a smart guy imo @ivory rock

Sucks they won't ban cheaters even if they're reported though 😂

[tight remnant]

Revenant was joking when he wrote that by the way

In case you didn't catch on

[ivory rock]

Thankfully I have yet to come across cheaters lmao

[steady jolt]

They will, if they are actually cheating and appropriate evidence is submitted

[left bone]

time to log in infinite

[stark quiver]

Not after seeing the ffa pandas report lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

I wasn't

[analog knot]

stckr is right - there have been some mistakes but file a report with proof and they are getting banned now.

This has only changed recently to be clear

[stark quiver]

Good. Glad they cleared that hiccup

[muted plaza]

Not like it matters too much bc they can just make a new account

[stark quiver]

I'll probably start reporting again then

[left bone]

huh

loading time is slower than usual

[obsidian wyvern]

because most ppl just got booted off, doubt many will sit around restarting till it works

[analog knot]

Youre right, but any form of roadblock is helpful. Better than them not banning them, right?

[muted plaza]

Yeah

[abstract heart]

Love how local network games dont work either, just freezes in current patch

[stark quiver]

They are staying on those accounts and still cheating so they aren't really needing to make new accounts

You can DM me the video of them cheating and I'll submit a waypoint ticket on it on your behalf.

You should only be reporting things you encounter

I have the video so ill send it

There have been a significant amount of outage reports within the past hour. Furthermore, some of us in this server are experiencing server issues too.

[trim saddle]

theyre just a sticker, a normal human sticker like you and I.

[abstract heart]

Im not dev but out of curiosity why are things like in game cheat detection not a thing.
I remember there was a cheat in siege that make splayers able to teleport to the very top of the skybox and shot everyone from above, but no normal player could ever make anywhere near that area. like 100% impossible. I feel like being able ot detect that a player is 100000ft in the air should pu tem on a list or something

[steady jolt]

Haven't had to submit a report for a whole, surprised that's there tbh. Goes against what I've been advised previously

I do understand your original comment - dont want people spam reporting random nonsense just because.

One piece of feedback I gave in the past is that if you're banned from XBL you cant submit Waypoint tickets and so the only way to submit a ticket is to have someone submit them on your behalf.

When there was that XBL Banwave a year ago where a bunch of people were banned accidentally I submitted a bunch of tickets on the behalf of others because of it.

Edit: I hope I turned the notification off for that, sorry if I didnt remember to.

How does halo rank work

[elfin glacier]

carefully

ranked rank measures skill while career rank measures grind

[fickle drift]

I'm just trying to figure out how does it work in multiplayer like if I'm gold six do I go down to Gold five to rank up or how does that work

Because I'd never really play rank to begin with or any sort of competitive Halo

[elfin glacier]

i think it's gold 6 -> plat 1?

@obsidian wyvern help

[fickle drift]

Oh

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[fickle drift]

I don't know if that's good or bad with my rank

[obsidian wyvern]

1-6, 6 being highest. bronze, silver, gold, plat, diamond and then onyx

gold 6/low plat is avg

[fickle drift]

Ah

[abstract heart]

I'm still getting destroyed by the range very often

It's probably a very tricky thing to balance for the devs

[muted plaza]

The grav hammer either has a 2 or 20 meter range depending if you are using it or the enemy

[left bone]

gravity hammer: "I decide who dies or not!!"

[muted plaza]

The energy sword is way more fun imo

if the yoroi can have a skirt, why cant we have a viking core?

[tardy radish]

Hot take, but I think Halo should evolve to be a gyro aim shooter.

[left bone]

what the

[tardy radish]

It’s the perfect game to become one.

Xbox needs to invest in gyroscopic functions in the Xbox controllers ASAP.

I can crystal-clearly hear and see this scene in my mind lol

[trim saddle]

and then i have to come in tomorrow which is rare for this position but we have to swap out the access points for the Wifi since we got rid of our Sophos firewalls for something better and cheaper.

[normal owl]

I also have work tomorrow: estate planning consults.

[trim saddle]

oh joy

[normal owl]

I'm working the next 9 Saturdays already. Been scheduling executions out into July.

[trim saddle]

let heads roll sir

[normal owl]

Seeing Memorial Day weekend makes me think "whew, some extra days when others aren't working where I can catch up".

lol, estate plan executions.

[trim saddle]

Ah, to the chopping block with that joke then.

[normal owl]

If I could construct an AI double to sit in on these meeting calls and deliver legal advice, that would literally cut half of my hours out of my Mon-Fri and eliminate all weekend work.

[trim saddle]

it IS possible, AI is getting pretty fancy

[normal owl]

But it's not licensed sadly.

[meager linden]

Ape's revolution?

[faint mantle]

It's still got a long way to go I'm afraid

Even the almighty GPT-4 has trouble doing rational math, let alone searching documents for precedents (spoiler: it can't do it properly, even the version with internet search enabled)

[candid solar]

Personally, I think AI should speedrun a created uprising so we can write it off in an unnumbered sequel and stop worrying about it.

[faint mantle]

AI has been overhyped lately. I trust it will eventually get on par with complex tasks done by professionals, but until the data and fine-tuning work necessary to get there is made and performed, major usage of AI will probably end up giving more trouble than solution

I remember a law firm tried to use AI for their case last year when GPT-4 was regarded as the miracle worker, and it did not go well for them.
https://youtu.be/oqSYljRYDEM

[bronze breach]

I was said worker who used it.

Safe to say as of today I am no longer employed

[trim saddle]

i remember seeing that in a class we had to host. It referenced material in court that was completely false

[faint mantle]

Good ol' hallucinations

[trim saddle]

silly AI, thinking is for humans

and WE cant even do it correctly sometimes

[faint mantle]

OpenAI says their latest model, GPT-4o, gets 40% less hallucinations. Maybe this law firm will want to go for round 2 if they haven't been disbarred already

[bronze breach]

I'll take one for the profession...

Then blame it on rev

Oh nothing. Heheheh

This is now one of the most precious books in my library.

[steady jolt]

Very nice

[normal owl]

The cover is woven.

I am loathe to open it but on the other hand curious about what kind of quality makes it cost over $100

[amber mirage]

I know that feeling

Getting something nice, but because it's so nice you don't want to ruin it

[cedar turret]

It was probably given free as a prize to anyone who finished teh simmarillon

[normal owl]

You know exactly what I'm going through.

[amber mirage]

I have a bunch of nice books I would love to read on the bus and train, but I don't want them to get damaged in my backpack, so I leave them home.

[normal owl]

Serious question, because I've done this, do you ever contemplate buying the cheapest paperback version of the book so it can get beat up without afflicting your conscience?

[amber mirage]

I haven't

[limpid phoenix]

Is the BR in Ranked anymore?? Not finding it at all just the trashy commando

[amber mirage]

I might have to start going to the library again instead of buying a second copy

[normal owl]

That's even more cost-efficient, nice! I buy my knockaround copies in the used condition that seems the most ok from a reputable seller.

No, that would require him to take off his helmet which this discord has assured me is welded to his face.

[hasty zinc]

please do not advertise

[sick igloo]

Im advertising a product made by halo, technically im helping 343

[hasty zinc]

we don't allow promotion/advertising for peoples discord servers

you do have the option to nominate a community to be featured in #community-servers

[sick igloo]

Well i just got here so i was blissfully unaware

[hasty zinc]

all good, was just letting you know

[sick igloo]

Also whats up with he no advertising servers, not like im harming them in any way

[hasty zinc]

because then this place would be filled with people spamming invites to their servers

[sick igloo]

Why isnt there a channel specifically for advertising halo servers then? That seems like a good idea

[hasty zinc]

because then people would just posts to inappropriate discord servers

we'd have to have someone monitoring every single invite

[sick igloo]

Thats why im saying yk, get a bot to monitor it

[hasty zinc]

monitor what?

[sick igloo]

Ik theres bots like that

[hasty zinc]

people could just call it a halo server and when you join, bam not halo

it would be a breeding ground for scams and the like

[sick igloo]

Theres literal bots to detect rick rolls ik theres bots to detect servers

[hasty zinc]

what I'm saying is

someone could create a server, call it halo and then when you join the server it's something else

[sick igloo]

Im aware, and ik some servers actually have bots to monitor that kinda thing

[hasty zinc]

it's not something we allow

other than the channel I mentioned previously

[sick igloo]

Mmm ok, so Basically the server has to be featured

[hasty zinc]

correct

[sick igloo]

And to do that my brand new miniscule server has to be noticed by a trillion dollar corporation

[hasty zinc]

if you want to put it that way, I guess

[sick igloo]

So Basically my chances are close to zero because my server wouldnt benefit their current moneygrab project

[hasty zinc]

alright, well now that it's devolved into this, I'm going to stop replying.

[sick igloo]

Devolved into what?

Ok then,guess im not allowed to understand things then, got it...

[cedar turret]

https://imgur.com/74VDBHS

[candid solar]

Correct, I turn anyone who thinks into goo with my mind.

[strange saddle]

nooooooo

[elfin glacier]

reddit moment

[sick igloo]

Cant tell if thats a diss or what

[signal wedge]

correct

[elfin glacier]

you want to spam your supposedly halo server but then turn around and call the latest game a moneygrab because you gotta show you're standing up to THE MAN™

[sick igloo]

Mmm no

Im not spamming

I posted it once and yes its quite obvious with the store prices halo infinite is a cash grab, there is no man im sticking up to, its just facts

And im so sorry that im offending your modern gaming

[elfin glacier]

every halo has been a cash grab

[sick igloo]

Not as bad as infinite lol

[elfin glacier]

i can ignore the monetization though?

[sick igloo]

At least every other halo has actual content on release and its customization isnt locked behind 20 dollar bundles

Oh and lets not forget paying for basic colors

[signal wedge]

that is what you call a F2P game

[elfin glacier]

instead the multiplayer in 2, 3, reach, and odst are locked behind an impossible to cancel subscription. don't forget the maps cut out of the base game to resell

[sick igloo]

Facts

Also whats subscription? You can play them on pc just fine

[elfin glacier]

ce: meant to sell xboxes and make Microsoft and bungie money
2: meant to sell Xbox live subs and make Microsoft and bungie money
3: meant to sell 360s and make Microsoft and bungie money
odst: glorified dlc meant to make microsoft and bungie money
reach: insane grind to stretch out xbl gold subtimes and make Microsoft and bungie money

[sick igloo]

The only reason people defend infinite at this point is either copium or that their die hard fans

[elfin glacier]

oh you're an MCC kid

[sick igloo]

No im just saying currently mcc requires no subscriptions

[elfin glacier]

can't wait for it to get c&ded again

[elfin glacier]

it does lol, you need gold on xbox

[sick igloo]

On xbox yes, pc no

[elfin glacier]

and again, the originals all paywalled online mp

[sick igloo]

And also you dont need a subscription to play the campaigns which lets be honest is the main appeal of many of the games

[elfin glacier]

ok and there's stuff in infinite that isn't paid that was in previous titles

[sick igloo]

Hell i never touched multiplayer til halo 4

And even then i barely played it

[elfin glacier]

1. the community is annoying
2. it's barely made by the community, mainly leeching off of existing assets made by far more talented people

is the halo community that devoid of talent that they always need to leech off of the main devs

[sick igloo]

Arent you Literally part of the halo community ?

So ur dissing yourself

[elfin glacier]

i despise the community and like the games

[sick igloo]

Then whyd you join the discord lol

Thats like the worst place to avoid the community

Halo 5 campaign sucked but multiplayer is good, packs are optional to buy so everything is unlockable base game

[elfin glacier]

lol bungie used odst to fill the 5 game quota in the contract

2 was blatantly rushed out the door as well

ah yes the tale of the ebil publisher and the poor tiny indie dev

lmao people complained about the cliffhanger and the lack of polish back in the day

the multiplayer was buggy as hell with a plethora of balance issues

though bungie always sucked at weapon balance

right, instead you straight up couldn't play online without a subscription
or keeping up with the map pack nonsense

[sick igloo]

I love how i started a heated debate by trying to advertise a server to find people to play with lol

[finite patrol]

I’ll take map packs over selling shoulder pads

Or colors

[desert dust]

cap

[sick igloo]

Shoulder pads? What about the basic color and gun charm bundle for 10 bucks lol

[elfin glacier]

ok
if the only mp game i play is halo then do i care about the other games? it's a paywall for halo mp

[signal wedge]

meanwhile pubg charges 10 dollars to just change a name

[elfin glacier]

right, it's so much better to paywall entire gameplay components rather than having to ignore optional cosmetics

[sick igloo]

So does xbox lol

[signal wedge]

this is why Steam is the most moral company in all of gaming

[elfin glacier]

because of the item gambling lootboxen in tf2 and cs?

[signal wedge]

thats a choice if you want to partake

I got all my TF2 stuff with only 5 bucks sold it and got Minecraft

[finite patrol]

Those optional cosmetics used to be earnable it’s something we’ve lost

[elfin glacier]

i weep for thee not being able to waste a hundred hours to get a helmet or something

[rare cedar]

Can we move along please

[finite patrol]

I’m not playing it now so that’s something

[elfin glacier]

ok

if you want fries, and just fries, but i'm selling fries and some garbage you don't want for $50 bucks, you're effectively paying $50 for fries

[sick igloo]

Bro what are we even grinding for then, like, charms and bland coatings? Thats Basically all thats free, that and a few armor pieces here and there

[signal wedge]

I just redownloaded Halo Infinite

[sick igloo]

The whole game is just grinding for cosmetics

[signal wedge]

im satisfied with my stock spartan painted green

[sick igloo]

And yet you pay 30$ and then you get better looking stuff

Which is ridiculous

[rare cedar]

@sick igloo plz move along

[signal wedge]

question is the Mk IV armor buyable?

I wasn't playing when they added it

[elfin glacier]

poor tiny company Microsoft 😭

[rare cedar]

Yup, it's in the shop now

[elfin glacier]

that p2p networking sure costs a ton

[signal wedge]

mod told you guys to move along like twice

[elfin glacier]

i was moving along before getting pinged twice

[rare cedar]

then dont respond

[sick igloo]

Wdym move along im having a conversation lol

[rare cedar]

take it to dms

not here

[sick igloo]

So do you tell anyone having a conversation to move along?

[rare cedar]

no plz

[sick igloo]

What is this discord even for if we cant even have conversations

[rare cedar]

the topic at hand leads to a negative outcome

trust me, this isn't the first time this topic has come up, nor will it be the last

[finite patrol]

The store?

[rare cedar]

you're more than welcome to continue in dms, just not in the server

I hope they re-release the S1 playoffs stuff, and I'd love them to re-release the victory laurels, but ik that's more unlikely

[rare cedar]

I think those all may be locked up

I still rock my laurels from 2022

[floral pollen]

they did S1 launch stuff, so I'd assume they'd prolly do the S1 playoffs as well, but idk on the laurels
I want them so bad tho, bc they look incredible with Midway Emerald from the screenshots I've seen

[rare cedar]

Nothing will embed here or I'd send a screenshot I've seen of it, but they look so good

[worldly sedge]

Halo is the best game ever made

Now to scare half the chat: Ghost of Lockout 👻 oOooOOooOoo

[fickle drift]

that would be 2 and 3 in my opinion

5 has some good multiplayer tho

i hope they add the mk vi gen 2 core to halo infinite

your opinion on the 3 br skin?

nah best game by story is obviously Halo 5

What do you think about how the Halo 3 BR looks like?

that top view halo game with palmer

[fickle drift]

i dunno why yalls hate i-

wait i know

you wanted to complain about the story making no sense and about 343

[fickle drift]

it looks like a br but more high res

[fickle drift]

its the talking sections that i hate about halo 5

[fickle drift]

please elaborate

where you just walk around and talk to people

[signal wedge]

because cortana

[fickle drift]

ah i only played through the entire campaign twice so i forgot those exist

oh

does anyone think halo 3 should get an anniversary

i definitely think so

[signal wedge]

Master Chief retires in Halo 7

[fickle drift]

Now you should be absolutely ectasic ( that's not how you write it, right? ), cause we now know she was corrupted only and fully by the flood

[fickle drift]

dude why he's like the coolest game character in history

[fickle drift]

ecstatic

[fickle drift]

I mean, I don't think it requires an anniversary for those who play it

just for graphics

[signal wedge]

he's going to be 50 soon and all he did the last 36 years was fighting aliens

[fickle drift]

But, it should if we want someone new to play 3

[signal wedge]

you know who can replace chiefy? Jerome 092

[fickle drift]

cause chief is really ugly in that game and we can't be having that

[fickle drift]

Wouldn't be against it

[fickle drift]

thanks

[signal wedge]

they need to bring ONI back from the dead

[hexed geyser]

have you guys ever tried playing Halo (any game) with a GC Controller

[signal wedge]

I hate the created storyline. Humanity just survived the HCW only to be cortana'ed and the Banished

[fickle drift]

i think halo 3 needs an anniversary cause lord hood just... ugh

[fickle drift]

they need to bring a lot of things back from the dead but it's really easy to mess the story up if we bring all of them back now

[fickle drift]

oh yeah, that guy too.

[signal wedge]

I liked divine wind

[worldly sedge]

Need a Halo 2 anniversary anniversary

[signal wedge]

I want more ONI related books

[fickle drift]

Though, to be honest, a remaster would suffice in terms of graphics

[fickle drift]

isn't divine wind like about the prophets or something

[signal wedge]

it's about 3 spartan IIIs and their mother being spies in some banished clan or something

[fickle drift]

halo 2a still holds up

[fickle drift]

what do you mean holds up it's literally the best looking halo game with the old artstyle

and by old i mean any but not the "classic" they made up for infinite cause 30 year olds were having temper tantrums

[hexed geyser]

wish Halo 2A had the bungie sounds tho

[fickle drift]

true

[obsidian wyvern]

h2a legit has the best sounds in halo

[fickle drift]

i think there is a setting on mcc

[fickle drift]

I mean, It's not too bad

but it mildly annoys me

mk vi gen 3 and the banished are best things about infinite

still no dlc tho

i know i know but it makes no sense

just swallow it whole or maybe they open and close their mouth OR they have teeth in their stomach

[signal wedge]

I would believe in the latter

[fickle drift]

the stomach one?

[signal wedge]

ye

[fickle drift]

BUT THATS JUST A THEORY

sorry i wanted to

[fickle drift]

a game theory

thats what i was going for

[hexed geyser]

i miss mat pat

[hasty zinc]

Ugh this is a long drive

[fickle drift]

that'd be noice

[fickle drift]

wdym

[fickle drift]

since when and why?

[steady jolt]

He means the drive is long

[worldly sedge]

He’s doing the Warthog run

[fickle drift]

oh

what did y'all think of h4 mk v

the best mk v

[fickle drift]

mk V?

[obsidian wyvern]

yes mkv, why the question mark

[signal wedge]

Iron Man's suit

[fickle drift]

no the ce armor

in halo 4

i have no idea what armor you mean

[hexed geyser]

idk

[obsidian wyvern]

why don't you search it then

[fickle drift]

the one from the first game it's canonically called mark v

[craggy hare]

Paths of dominance is 🫀

Hell yes!

[signal wedge]

oh they used a different engine for Halo infinite

[signal wedge]

wait what

[hasty zinc]

Going to CT

[fickle drift]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-ce-anniversary-ma5b-master-chief-343guilty-spark-two-betrayals-gif-21303299

[fickle drift]

this one

if it loads lol

the one from the first game

[untold tundra]

I know I come in here and bark About how bad the networking is but good job on the networking

Ragdoll lode time, even resolution seems to be all smoother

Feels good

[hexed geyser]

i like how the ragdoll animations in infnite sometimes bugs out sumetimes

[untold tundra]

The infinite fall tornado?

[fickle drift]

the floating one

[untold tundra]

Yeah, the Gyro spin

[fickle drift]

i had my friend punched me when i was doing that i fell through the map

[untold tundra]

The clipping ones

[fickle drift]

it was weird

[untold tundra]

Like a hand, or a foot gets clipped

[fickle drift]

yeah

ik

[untold tundra]

Last night I was getting smoothies, ragdoll

[fickle drift]

i thought the h1 animations were weird bc when you died next to your teammates you were just all in the same positition, kinda creepy

[untold tundra]

Do you think they’ll be able to figure out the network sharing to make it work for the next game?

Pull a destiny two

That’s what I would do

[candid solar]

... Make a game that's hot garbage and oddly successful?

[untold tundra]

It was the networking that killed this game, mostly

[candid solar]

That's a new take.

[untold tundra]

They have these new power stations being built where I live geothermal know how they work is great and all but the buildings must be built on the grid of the power station. You can’t just build a power station next to a house and expect the house to work with the power station They have to be built in unison, with the coding of this game. I think something similar happened.

Once they realized it was at a foundation level it really limited to what they could do or should

What I’m saying is the game is retrofitting pretty well

[kindred urchin]

is Halo Infinite multiplayer crossplay?

[untold tundra]

Now

[fickle drift]

yes

[kindred urchin]

how?

do i invite my friend he on PC im on Xbox

[fickle drift]

idk i hope they have mk vi gen 2

[fickle drift]

so in the corner of your screen there should be something that says fireteam

[kindred urchin]

yeah

[fickle drift]

press the plus in the fireteam section and click his name

[kindred urchin]

i dont have him added on Halo Infinite again he on PC im on Xbox

[fickle drift]

you should press the xbox button i think im on pc too go to people search their in game name and click their account and press send friend request then go to fireteam after

[kindred urchin]

ok

[fickle drift]

I just thought about something.

what

[main sandal]

@fickle drift

[crisp sorrel]

Does anyone wanna play halo infinite with me?

[fickle drift]

Why doesn't 343 try doing something like "community armor kit/cosmetic" contests?
Like how BHVR does yearly cosmetic contests for Dead By Daylight?

and then they get added if one wins

tell the staff that

And how exactly can I do that?

dm

[obsidian wyvern]

no, just make a thread about it in #1039633978841374720

[fickle drift]

oh yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

ok just ignore that then

[fickle drift]

hot take, they should bring back forerunner weapons, and prometheans just make em more fun to fight

If anyone wants to make a thread about the contest idea, feel free to do so. (simply because I do not feel like making one, respectfully)

can we have cosmetic contests where people make their own and the winner gets their idea added to th

Very nice.

could've did better tho

Eh, you still did good.

But yeah, more weaponry would be welcome. Old weapons and new weapons.

plasma rifle, r.i.p plasma rifle

I'm going to save something that might be controversial, but I only really REALLY want to see five big things, maybe just three depending on the day:

[crisp sorrel]

Someone please join

[fickle drift]

i'll hear the controversial one but first, they should bring back the boltshot and binary rifle

[muted plaza]

light rifle on top

[fickle drift]

-Assassinations
-New Weapons
-New Vehicles(thought I would prefer the weapon side of things)
-Possibly new equipment too.
And finally, the fire starting topic...

[normal owl]

!lfg

[fickle drift]

-Playable elites

definitely assassinations, those are awesome, while playing halo 4 i would ONLY assassinate grunts

[crisp sorrel]

Sorry

[normal owl]

You're good! Just want to make sure you're finding folks to play with.

[muted plaza]

not a fan of animated assasinations tbh, locks you out for a while and you may be denied a kill instead

[crisp sorrel]

Im just not sure wich one to adk on

[fickle drift]

Well, assassinations are mostly for style points.

[normal owl]

Whichever category you're playing. So if you're just doing social games, use #lfg-social . Etc. Hope you have a blast playing!

[fickle drift]

sorry to waste your time but could we have cosmetic contests and the winner gets their armor idea added to the game

(cough) mark vi gen 2 please

And you gotta admit, it would have been something people would probably be interested in buying from the store, being able to buy more wacky assassinations. (though that's just my take)

[normal owl]

There actually has already been! One for tactical theme, one for Valentine's Day duo theme. So you'll want to watch the various server channels for the next one that's announced.

[muted plaza]

imagine a situation where you are behind 2 enemies, you now backhit the one and you can 1v1 the other one fairly when he turns around, w assasinations you get into an animation and the other one turns around and kills you

[fickle drift]

Oh, well that's awesome.

could you still add mk vi gen 2 tho

[normal owl]

Those are for existing armor, so new ideas weren't added into the game, but they were still fun cosmetics contests.

[fickle drift]

What about "Tap melee for backsmack, hold down for assassination"?

[muted plaza]

could work, I just think that those resources could go towards better and more important things

[fickle drift]

assassinations are important

[candid solar]

I think frogs are important.

[muted plaza]

but then again what if you hold down the button and the enemy turns around while holding it down, assuming it takes like half a sec of holding down this could happen realistically

[normal owl]

I think parrots are important

[candid solar]

https://tenor.com/view/secretarybird-vs-snake-serpent-gif-13225270

[fickle drift]

Secretary bird.

https://tenor.com/view/halo-master-chief-xbox-microsoft-video-game-gif-18321271874606772609

[candid solar]

Oh right I was supposed to change my pfp for bird purposes

[fickle drift]

Wait... why DID they give it that name?

[fickle drift]

how cool would this armor be

[normal owl]

Likely due to the high number of words per minute that it could type.

[fickle drift]

mk vi gen 2? bc its the second generation of mk vi

oh the gif?

[fickle drift]

Valid.

[candid solar]

The quills were believed to be like how old-timey secretaries would put a bunch of pens in their hair buns.

[fickle drift]

oh yeah bird

[normal owl]

It is so cute lol, like they're talking to each other

[fickle drift]

Okay, I'm going to ask this: What parts of Infinite(besides things like assassinations and elites, and other things of that sort), do you guys believe should have the resources focused on them?

dlc for campaign

[candid solar]

Sandbox.

More guns, more vehicles. When we start approaching Halo 5's territory I'd say it's good.

[normal owl]

Blood of Suban my beloved

[craggy hare]

The mangler needs to go

[candid solar]

What? No, the Mangler's awesome.

Literally my favorite precision weapon in the game.

[fickle drift]

So... you guys think we should first get new weapons/vehicles, then it would be agreed upon that elites/assassinations(and other things of the sort) can go full throttle?

[craggy hare]

It has sentimental value yes

[fickle drift]

i'd take splitscreen and multiplayer armor in campaign as an option

or halo 7 now

[normal owl]

MP armor in campaign: yes! That alone would get me to replay it.

[candid solar]

MP in campaign would be way better than what we have now. I always hated that about Infinite's campaign, mostly because I'm tired of playing as some green boyscout with mommy issues.

[craggy hare]

My favorite weapons are the Bandit Evo and the Shock rifle

[fickle drift]

i had a good idea!

[normal owl]

Plus, for the "it's each individual's Master Chief fantasy", they could simply leave default as an option.

[fickle drift]

I think the Brute Shot would be cool.

plasma rifle needs to come back and boltshot and binary rifle

[candid solar]

There's also been Multiplayer split screen since launch, just not campaign split screen. Honestly, given how rarely people ever use split screen anymore (I know less than half of half a dozen who even use splitscreen for party games these days), I don't fault anyone for not prioritizing that as a feature.

[fickle drift]

that way you could play the game with ce chief

i love the ce armor

[craggy hare]

Trench I will simp and change my opinion solely because you like the mangler, it's now top 10 in my fictional list

[candid solar]

It's a freaking revolver! In Halo!

[fickle drift]

Spartan Surplus might have some new stuff, based on the name.

[normal owl]

Fan that hammer cowboy

[fickle drift]

After 55 games of halo snipers my KDA is still 1.0

i think of it as a spiritual sucessor to the mauler, and also as a mini shotgun

Otherwise, I'd say that the naming convention might not be the best choice.

Over 7 almost 8 hours straight

[candid solar]

Honestly, of the things I want, I'd want Halo Infinite to get a bolt-action rifle and a break-action shotgun.

So we can have an entire game mode built around cowboy fighting.

[fickle drift]

lol

[wild sleet]

Give me Mark VI gen 1

[craggy hare]

Paths of dominance was absolutely sick, I'm good as is for like 6 months based on that

[fickle drift]

thats in the game bro

[latent sequoia]

neither gun no longer making any sense in their times

[fickle drift]

oh wait

[fickle drift]

i agree with you the 2 or 3 version

[candid solar]

... You do realize most of Halo's human guns literally use IRL calibers and firing mechanisms, right? The BR is gas-operated.

Hell, the Mangler uses a revolver-style speedloader.

[fickle drift]

dang it

[latent sequoia]

yeah

[fallow gyro]

UNSC Eternity in next halo? Would love to see this after the loss of infinity
