also for them the infinity and chief are the same kind of threat that the banished are to the UNSC

[hollow void]

100% they using humans to activate forerunner stuff

[latent sequoia]

I think part of the problem that the halo universe has is it doesnt highlight enough the bad things UNSC has done. it really should be more grey than it is. as much as I dread the world of warhammer 40k at least no ones trying to claim moral high ground

[hollow void]

Good soldiers follow orders

[queen lantern]

no that's a slave more in my opinion

what if your commanding officer told you to shoot all the world leaders would you do it or not

if you dont you bad soldier but if you do your executed

[orchid cipher]

True but I guess that would be hard to do when your playing a character from the UNSC side unless your turning traitor

[signal wedge]

and all the badass spartans are unsc

[queen lantern]

just halo ai take over the spartan suits and have them start a riot or something

like how that banished ai took over that spartan armor in halo infinite

[signal wedge]

is that why he looks like he wasn't wearing armor

didn't know brutes have IT scientists

[latent sequoia]

I think theres a lot of space in the universe to tell stories from some other points of view

the lore is strong and well established so you could explore it more and not have it be from the UNSCs side

Hi!

[candid solar]

The Banished AI did not take over the armor in a way that would let them actually fight with it.

Iratus was puppeting the armor via utilizing holograms and controlling the armillary gantry it was mounted on. He did not have motive capability regarding the armor itself.

Saw a video on my recommendation that is titled “343 reasons why 343 sucks”, I was gonna say “Oh great another unnecessary overly critical/hate farm video on Halo” just simply asked YouTube to not recommend me the channel.

[left bone]

(most) modern halotubers be like:
"343 bad!"
"halo infinite is toast...."
"im gonna post rumors from twitter as true statements for clicks!"

[hearty flame]

343 reasons why 343 sucks; It has been 343 days since I last saw my wife and kids and it's Halo Infinite's fault

[left bone]

my car exploded
its 343i's fault!!!

[meager linden]

I don't really understand that hate about 343 and Halo infinite
Maybe because I am a newbie halo fan??

That world is going to madness...

[candid tusk]

It's a nostalgia thing. The industry was very different in the early 00s in compare to today. Mixed bag to compare for sure, but it was mostly better on the AAA side of things back then.

[left bone]

im tired of seeing "gaming is dead" videos

[worldly sedge]

The video game industry is indeed going insane

[left bone]

no, gaming isnt dead-- you're just playing the same 3 FPS games and not giving any better titles and indies a chance

[worldly sedge]

I think they’re like burning themselves playing the same game for 6 months, I think everyone should play Another Crab’s Treasure. It’s pretty funny and silly

[left bone]

right

they keep bringing up the AAA stuff and pretend the better games and indie games dont exist and mourn how they miss the days of playing super mario galaxy or wutever

[hearty flame]

Halo 4 had a lot of issues like a weak multiplayer, the change in art style was really off-putting to a lot of people and it was generally unwelcome because it was change for the sake of change, they dedded Cortana

Then Halo 5 rolled around, they doubled down on the art style and continued to make some of the ugliest sets in the game, the campaign was incredibly weak and not even focused on John (not even as close a split as Halo 2), and the community tore itself apart on the sprinting vs no sprinting conversation. People also didn't like the mtx in Halo 5 in general but it was far from being an issue.

Halo Infinite just been plagued with development issues, has the most egregious optional paid content, and was just overall 5 steps back in terms of gameplay from Halo 5 and even Halo Reach in a lot of cases

That's not to say that Bungie's Halo didn't suffer from a lot of these same issues, Halo 2 arguably suffered more from development issues than Halo Infinite did, but it was more easily forgiven because it helped forge the identity that Halo came to have before 343 decided to change it because they had something to "prove" (and whiffed harder than any other first party game dev ever could)

[meager linden]

I really enjoyed playing every part of Halo(except 5, because I don't have a controller)
And multiplayer is my weakness, I rarely play with someone, so I can't say anything about that

[shut hawk]

Morning

[meager linden]

[worldly sedge]

I forgot what I was gonna say

[snow tundra]

I felt as though the gameplay in Infinite is arguably the best in the series. While content was lacking at launch, I thought the campaign was really well done. I’m happy with infinite now but it really could have been much more had everything been there at launch.

[worldly sedge]

Yeah just development right now in the gaming industry is veeeery slow so it’s a challenge to have to wait for something new to release

[candid tusk]

This is the biggest issue for Halo today. We need stability and content launch parity with Halo 3/Reach at a minimum or it gets abandoned by the masses.

Infinite's release was so undercooked.

[snow tundra]

Absolutely. I really loved infinite and it probably will go down as the biggest missed opportunity in the series

And that’s coming from someone who has played halo since CE on the OG Xbox. I felt that infinite was the perfect combination of modern gaming and still making halo feel like halo

[candid tusk]

Infinite is great today, especially as an original CE enjoyer 100% no doubt about it. It's a huge coulda shoulda woulda title, they didn't launch with what they needed to to keep the game poppin' off the charts and the first few updates were really bad with BTB being broken for months.

[fossil skiff]

Seems like a lifetime ago ;/

[livid oyster]

People who say gaming use to be better x amount of years ago are probably 20 something years old + and have completely burned out their dopamine receptors

[snow tundra]

I’m just happy halos story is in a good spot compared to halo 5

[worldly sedge]

I ain’t no psychiatrist but that defitnely sounds like the matter

[snow tundra]

Like the endless and all that are genuinely interesting. And fun to fight. I’m curious if the next halo will be open world or not

[rare cedar]

Good night Spartans

[livid oyster]

I think its burned out a lot of people. Myself included

[fossil skiff]

If it is, I hope it has random encounters at least

[signal wedge]

more like 30

I am 21 and wasn't even born when the first halo came out

[fossil skiff]

I do miss playing minecraft back in 2012 and onwards

Watching Yogscast got me into modding in general. Tekkit was fun. Feed The Beast was even more fun.

[livid oyster]

I mean any video game. Doesn't have to be halo

[snow tundra]

I agree. Also hope we’re still on zeta halo and that linear missions are fleshed out a bit more. Either way I’m genuinely really excited to see where this goes which I cannot say I was after halo 5

[hollow void]

I just wish they don't focus too much on chief

There's a whole world of Halo out there.

[snow tundra]

Oooo hot take. I do agree there’s allot of world out there but I loved halo 4s story so I felt like infinite was a natural continuation off of that. So yes I agree to show more of the world but I’m also good with it being about chief

[candid tusk]

"And with all due respect to you, soldier, I'm not willing to jeopardize my ship because of the hallucinations of an aging Spartan and his malfunctioning AI!" - Andrew Del Rio

Chief is simply too old. Time for his retirement.

[snow tundra]

Fight ain’t finished yet. Chief ain’t done till it is lol

[stuck cliff]

Yo everyone hear me out

[hollow void]

Like I mean the only other Spartans we saw in infinite was dead ones and griffin

[candid tusk]

It's time to put you to bed, grandpa. The fight was over forty years ago.

[stuck cliff]

Halo on VR with a feeling suit

[snow tundra]

True and I’d like more Spartans, lasky and other people but I love chief as a character so naturally I’m good with a master chief focused story

[candid tusk]

It would have been very cool to see the viewpoint of these spartans through a similar sequence to ODST's levels.

[stuck cliff]

Like imagine getting hit with a plasma weapon and that spot heats up or in the books Chief describes it being cold when he puts an ai in so on the back of your head it gets cold

[candid tusk]

Played ODST again yesterday and was like... Man they could have done this for the dead guys we find in Infinite.

[livid oyster]

I do kind of hope the next installment is chiefs last game as a main character. He either has to die or go mia with no way back imo

[hollow void]

An ODST pov or like Noble team game. They were not a master Chief focused

343 would never

[stuck cliff]

Die no no no. Spartans never die they just go missing in action

[hollow void]

That's alot of missing Spartan IIIs

[finite patrol]

They never gonna stop wheeling Master Chief out of the old folks home to humiliate him

[stuck cliff]

Yep. “It’s protocol to create the illusion that spartans never die”

[hollow void]

Maybe Arbiter will show up in Halo 7

[obsidian wyvern]

nah you can just read the book for that, no need to have it in the games

[hollow void]

I still can't understand why half of the pelican's length is empty

It looks so tiny

[obsidian wyvern]

you can just read the book for the weapons origins too, no need to have that in the game either

[candid tusk]

I'm a Halo player, I can't read.

[hollow void]

REAAADD

[candid tusk]

Missed opportunities for something awesome to change the pace of the game is all.

[shut hawk]

That be so awesome

[stuck cliff]

Exactly what I’m saying

[fickle drift]

I did like the little weapon decriptions you got when pressing the back button in Reach.

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't think I got my sarcasm across tbh, guess I was right

[candid tusk]

I'm a Halo player. I can't read sarcasm through text.

[stuck cliff]

Only thing is imagine how scary it’d be on 343 guilty spark

[obsidian wyvern]

true

[fickle drift]

Pet peeve is this need to refer to weapons by designation instead of their generic name.
Why you specifying S7 man, we've only got one Sniper.

[shut hawk]

Or when your fighting the flood the first time.

[hollow void]

Every time a book mentions a gun's name I will not understand

[meager linden]

It was a nightmare for me
Shotgun based against flood

[hollow void]

I still don't know the name of the main gun from Halo. The one with the bullet counter

[candid tusk]

Assault Rifle.

[stuck cliff]

Imagine what’d it would feel like having a floor spore attached to your chest

[candid tusk]

No.

[stuck cliff]

MA5B and MA5C

[shut hawk]

My child like mind was scared by just the music xD

[obsidian wyvern]

the only time I was really confused was when they mentioned the actual name of a forklift or something in a book and I had no idea what it was until I reread it lol

[hollow void]

MA5 assault rifle is the most sci fi looking weapon while every other gun looks like it can exist in the 21st century

[fickle drift]

The uh, Rocket Launcher doesn't look very conventional lol

[livid oyster]

Yeah I was just thinking the rocket as well lol

[stuck cliff]

Yeah the SPNKR would be a pain in the A to make

[hollow void]

Spanker

[livid oyster]

Still kills me that they changed its designed to a more practical one in 5

[meager linden]

Pfff
You were a child
But me, I am a grown up man and it was really scary

[obsidian wyvern]

the spnkr is honestly one of my favourite halo designs

[fickle drift]

Do we have the Pillum? No? Then it's just the Rocket Launcher

This is what I mean lol

No need to specify

[hollow void]

I mean we do have ones that are more advanced in the same size

[hollow void]

For me it's the Pelican tbh

[shut hawk]

I wonder what would happen if Atrioux was infused with a gravemind..

[hollow void]

As for Halo vehicles... It's the most sci fi looking

[candid tusk]

Human wise, for sure.

[fickle drift]

The Warthog IS a classic.

[hollow void]

Warthog is like supeeer fast

[fickle drift]

The Elephant / Olifant is up there for 'sci-fi' design with the human vehicles imo, with how exaggerated they are

[hollow void]

And I really really hate the Scorpion tank

They are using WW2 Tank doctrines in the 26th century

[obsidian wyvern]

I love halo 5s scorpion

[livid oyster]

Isn't oliphant the lotr creature

[fickle drift]

It's also a garbage truck

[obsidian wyvern]

I prefer the garbage truck

[candid tusk]

I mean, if we go that far humanity should have an AI death machine hive mind that they fire and forget a drop pod of using laser rifles by then.

[hollow void]

Anyone knows what happend to the Guardians after Cortana died

[candid tusk]

Slipspace drop some terminators onto the planet.

[fickle drift]

Not when we were doing that achievement you didn't lol

[fickle drift]

Ask the lore channel, they might be able give you an answer to that.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah, no

[livid oyster]

Yeah sometimes you have to go with what's cool. Because realistically by 2500, granted no serious setbacks, ai will most likely be used for everything

[hollow void]

Ye

Boston Dynamics has been creating robots for decades and nothing has come into fruition yet

[candid tusk]

That's just what they're showing to the public.

[fickle drift]

That reminds me: Remember when some people were talking about 343 adding a "robot core" to the game?
I still don't see the angle with that.

[hollow void]

Though current warfare just proves that robots would be useless. What you need are drones

[livid oyster]

Technology improves fast. Fast forward 500 years in the future and I'd bet everything I own that robots will be used for everything

[hollow void]

Robots will rebel against humanity

[candid tusk]

"Humans need not apply" for sure.

[hollow void]

The UNSC needs to make robots. Why haven't they done it yet

[snow tundra]

Spartan IVs basically humans in robot suits

All they need is make a Spartan suit that don’t need a human 😂

[hollow void]

I mean you can have robots to do menial labor

[fickle drift]

IRATUS is why they might not be looking into robots.

[snow tundra]

True that

[hollow void]

Like star wars always have robots to do labor and stuff

[vapid siren]

Pretty sure outsourcing military work to robots is kind of a bad idea with the whole created uprising

[snow tundra]

Yeah that lowkey may scare the unsc

[fickle drift]

Yeah, he gets the chance to infect a Spartan robot and now you got an armored Terminator to deal with.

[hollow void]

Beep boop

[snow tundra]

Armored terminator with an energy shield 💀💀

[fickle drift]

Unless they could make the best antivirus ever created in existence, making a robot Spartan would be risky.

[snow tundra]

Definitely. I mean even just an AI who got too mixed up with some forerunner junk went and destroyed literal worlds 😂😂

[hollow void]

I mean it doesn't have to be smart AI

[fickle drift]

They would arguably have a better chance trying to convince to elites to join the UNSC than mass producing robots that would be at risk of backfiring.

They'd be better off just trying to convice a bunch of GRUNTS to join them, I argue.

[hollow void]

I would like to have a grunt unit in the UNSC

[snow tundra]

Dude the fact that the last time we fought with grunts was halo 2 (or 3 I can’t remember lol) is an abomination lol

[hollow void]

Pretty sure Grunts is in Halo 4,5 and Infinite

[fickle drift]

He means "fight alongside grunts".

[hollow void]

Ohhhh

Like I mean they are mistreated so badly. And they love human media. It makes sense

But now most of them are on team banished and created

They deserve to be bullied ig

[signal wedge]

that one grunt in infinite that asked if he could surrender lmao

[fickle drift]

Let's be honest, you hear every species insult the other in practically every game.

[signal wedge]

I mean. in the covenant it's Kig Yar hate Grunts, Elites and Brutes have beef

[fickle drift]

They're all just "mildly tolerate" of the other.

Who knows how much infighting has happened that we just don't see.

[signal wedge]

Troy Denning or Kelly Gay who is better

[signal wedge]

I've read the halopedia apparently the covenent species really hate each other

the Kig Yar poisoned the Grunts

[fickle drift]

Oh, I'm aware.

[signal wedge]

almost started a rebellion and the grunt homeworld almsot got glassed

[meager linden]

Good teammate💀💀

[signal wedge]

honeslty I would like to have a grunt friend

[fickle drift]

"Ranking Covenant species based on how good of a friend they could theoretically be"

[signal wedge]

yeah last place would be those brutes

[fickle drift]

I agree.

Where would elites be placed?

[signal wedge]

either first or second since we have entire books on them being friends with humans

[fickle drift]

Valid.

[signal wedge]

like I swear I thought Thel Vadam was going to kiss vale

[fickle drift]

No comment.

[candid solar]

I don't actually see anything wrong design wise when it comes to Elephants. In fact I'd say it's actually one of the more reasonable Halo designs.

[smoky token]

lemme guess, you watched the Spookston video?

[candid solar]

I hate the Spookston video.

[signal wedge]

not much but I had the same idea. the tank should be smaller

[candid solar]

... Except the parts crapping on the stock designs.

But his 'redesigns' were hot garbage past the Scorp.

[smoky token]

I love spookston, pay him $10 every month in fact, but that video was such garbage

[hollow void]

Oh yeah

[smoky token]

most of his halo videos are

[candid solar]

Most Halo videos are.

[smoky token]

trur…

[hollow void]

Like huge tanks is a thing of the past... It's just a big target

[smoky token]

every tank today is like 3x the size of any WWII tank

[signal wedge]

have you seen the Maus

[smoky token]

Abrams, Challenger, LeClerc, T-90, etc

[signal wedge]

also I have no idea whats the size of the Scorpion but I really hate the 4 seprate sections of tracks

[smoky token]

a tank that was made as a last-ditch wunderwaffen by the order of a mentally unstable dictator who spent all of his time high on methamphetamines?

[candid solar]

Uh... Aspen, tanks today aren't actually much bigger.

Hell, the Sherman's taller than the Abrams.

[smoky token]

i mostly meant in terms of tonnage

[candid solar]

It's only like 20 tons lighter 🤷‍♂️

[smoky token]

but the abrams is also longer than the sherman which matters a lot

[signal wedge]

but halo tanks need to fit a spartan so... make sense it's XXL

[smoky token]

not what they were designed for

[candid solar]

Ah, yes, we designed this tank for Spartans, which consist of less than a percent of a percent of a percent of a percent of our total military force.

(This is equally stupid after the IV program, btw, there aren't enough IVs to justify the size of the Scorp)

Also, what goober is trying to put a Spartan in a tank on a regular basis?

[smoky token]

the scorpion is an all-environment mass deployment armored vehicle which theoretically is made to be as survivable as possible

arguments can be made against the repairability of the scorpion but we don’t really know much about that

[candid solar]

My current running theory on the Scorp's obnoxious size is the same as my theory on why the Pelican is so obnoxiously big.

Heat shielding.

[smoky token]

not to mention the fact that the thing was designed some 200 years before the Spartan program was even a twinkle in Halsey’s eye

[smoky token]

…maybe?

[signal wedge]

Pelicans are huge because it's dropship size and it's also vacuum proof

[smoky token]

most of it’s profile comes from the massive turret though

[candid solar]

It's the size of a C-130 with a fourth the carrying capacity.

[signal wedge]

💀

[candid solar]

I figure its mass is more because it needs to enter and exit the atmosphere several times a day, and a foamed metal hull of one variety or another is used to offset the heat load.

[signal wedge]

well the overhang is half the length of the pelican so it's used to carry stuff ig

[candid solar]

Oh, yeah, there's a reason I prefer the M820.

[smoky token]

what kind of engine does it use?

the pelican

[signal wedge]

rolls royce

[candid solar]

The Pelican? Four hybrid fusion drives.

Four "Bussard Ramjets"

[scenic quartz]

hey

[signal wedge]

it can VTOL but the vtol engines are so tiny and hidden

[smoky token]

ramjets and fusion engines?

that’s… odd

[signal wedge]

oh damn they are just casually using 200 year old tech?

[smoky token]

we use 100 year old technology today

in our modern militaries

[jade knoll]

fr even small arms, the 1911 is over 100 years old

[signal wedge]

like what. I know the F-16 is near 50 years old. but not 200 💀

[smoky token]

we don’t use the 1911 anymore

[pulsar cobalt]

These shoulders float with this pose haha

[smoky token]

google when the M2 Browning was invented

[candid solar]

Browning guns in general seem to have ridiculously long usage times.

[smoky token]

a lot of modern weapon calibres are also really old

like 7.62x51 NATO

which they still use in Halo lol

[pulsar cobalt]

if it works keep using it 😂

[smoky token]

I like to think myself above gun culture worship but they really don’t make them like John Browning did

[signal wedge]

is that leather

[jade knoll]

humanity at large i mean. it's still a reliable handgun comparable to most modern sidearms but yea military doesn't use the m1911

[candid solar]

Hi-Power moment

Mosin Nagant moment

Lewis Gun moment

[signal wedge]

guns are a differen't thing though. Let's see if the US still uses the Abrams in the 22nd century lmao

[jade knoll]

tru

[candid solar]

B-52 bomber moment

[smoky token]

do the british still use the vickers?

[signal wedge]

no

[smoky token]

it’s already 50 years old

[jade knoll]

it's service got extended into 2060 from what i remember

[pulsar cobalt]

Pretty sure they stopped using these back in the 60s

[smoky token]

unless some sort of revolution comes in the field of ballistics that necessitates a new platform, I could easily see it being used into the 22nd century

[signal wedge]

yeah but most of these stuff gets upgraded with variants. did the scorpion?

[candid solar]

Yes.

[smoky token]

mhmm

[jade knoll]

fs

[smoky token]

hell, we see like 4 different variants throughout the games lol

[jade knoll]

even halo to halo it did

[signal wedge]

I see... UNSC does not have abrams size tanks do they

[candid solar]

Not really, no.

[smoky token]

the scorpion is larger than an abrams isn’t it?

in terms of size, not tonnage

[signal wedge]

looks like it's twice or 3 times

[candid solar]

Twice as wide, twice as tall, just as long, same weight.

[signal wedge]

and it still uses a 90mm cannon

[jade knoll]

unsc did everything big

[candid solar]

It's the turret and track assembly that makes the Scorp so goober-style.

[smoky token]

if you want something a bit more conventional, there’s the Grizzly (which is ridiculous) and the Kodiak

[candid solar]

Well, until the M820 threw a 150mm on the Scorp chassis with a coaxial and primary gunner position that never gets used or discussed despite some very proud designer adding it.

[smoky token]

size doesn’t matter much in Halo

[candid solar]

And then it got thrown away in Infinite because WHOOOOOO REACH REMEMBER REACH

[signal wedge]

yes I agree size shouldn't mattter

but

[jade knoll]

it's how you use it guys

[smoky token]

tbc the leading theory with why everything is so weird in terms of ballistics in halo is because they all use more efficient propellant in their guns

a 90mm cannon might have the same exact amount of energy as a 120mm one

[signal wedge]

atleast it has shield tech. otherwise a big tank like that will attract plasma

[smoky token]

that’s what the ablative coatings are for

and what contributes so much to it’s weight

wait does the scorpion use a combustion engine or a hydrogen one like the Warthog does?

[jade knoll]

prolly hydrogen since we see it used extensively in halo ce

[candid solar]

Hydrogen turbine.

[signal wedge]

I see

it's so fun to use in multiplayer tho

[candid solar]

It's so damn goofy to me that the M808C has had a coaxial since it came out but it isn't believed to have one because you can never fire it.

[smoky token]

so that probably makes it quite a bit lighter than a similar modern vehicle

well, that came out wrong

the engine would be significantly lighter I mean

i don’t remember where I was going with this

[candid solar]

Gooberland

[signal wedge]

the warthog is so fast in game I always lose control

[smoky token]

ya :D

[signal wedge]

driving with wasd is so bad 💀

[smoky token]

it’s about a ton lighter than a humvee technical

[candid solar]

And has about the third the armor.

[signal wedge]

warthog has shields as well which is weird

[jade knoll]

my biggest issue with the warthogs at least in bungie halo is how quick they flip and how little time takes while upside down until it ejects you, a lot of the time it'll eject even if it was on course to flio back upright

[signal wedge]

how did they fit a shield in a warthog

[smoky token]

I think the side armor is thicker? it also has an ablative coating as of the human covenant war

[candid solar]

No it doesn't.

[smoky token]

they didn’t

[candid solar]

There's a variant that does, but it's a Swords of Sanghelios modified variation.

[smoky token]

also shield generators are tiny

would not be hard to fit one in a warthog if one desired to

[signal wedge]

huh. then I must have seen a diffrent thing

[smoky token]

you are probably a bit confused as far as using a mjolnir’s shields goes? if you are in a warthog in halo 3, you will always die before the warthog does, so your shields will always go down before the vehicle does

same with every vehicle in halo 3

[signal wedge]

because in infinite i've seen vehicles glow in blue

[candid solar]

That's an EMP effect.

[signal wedge]

also idk if it's a me only bug but sometimes dead bodies will float and dance

[smoky token]

that is a universal bug

[signal wedge]

I see

[signal wedge]

it's so goofy

[smoky token]

afaik the only vehicle that has shields is the Mantis?

i might be forgetting something

[candid solar]

In Halo 5, a few Covenant vehicles do.

This is also true in Halo Wars.

[smoky token]

just reqs or default variations too?

[candid solar]

All, yeah.

For example, stock Banshee.

[frosty siren]

What happen

[fickle peak]

You are got jebatet

[smoky token]

don’t worry about it

[frosty siren]

Was my pun really that bad

[candid solar]

Yes

[frosty siren]

Welp least i got bad pun 1*

[candid solar]

Also yes

Hope I can get my pride patches sewn on before June.

Too bad it's also looking to be the hottest damn summer in a while.

[smoky token]

yeah 💀

global warming am I right

[candid solar]

It was 87 degrees yesterday

[frosty siren]

Arent we duw for an Ice age

[candid solar]

I live in Michigan

[smoky token]

loaded question

[smoky token]

it was in the 80s the entire weekend for me too

and I’ve got the lake acting as a heat sink

I did get some beautiful pictures though

[frosty siren]

I have some of the most cursed photos sometimes

Pic 7

: D

[candid solar]

Lake Michigan or?

[smoky token]

that’s the one

[frosty siren]

Time to think of more bad puns

[candid solar]

Ah. I always thought you lived further south.

[frosty siren]

Or just break minds

[smoky token]

nope, right on the lake

[candid solar]

... I'm guessing at or near Wisconsin. Usually that's where white lake rocks tend to be.

at least from memory

[smoky token]

these particular lake rocks were put here by the army corps of engineers in 2019 to stop the town from collapsing into the lake

northern indiana

[candid solar]

Either way, neat lake pics

[normal owl]

That's really nice: takes me back to summertime road trips.

[trim saddle]

yesterday was a good day, my kids and I were out in yard playing in my sprinklers and throwing water balloons. Im in Michigan too lol

[frosty siren]

Did u know that when u twist yout arm... the bones in your fore arm touch

[smoky token]

yes actually

[candid solar]

They don't unless you have something damaged. There's connective tissue in the way.

[forest lagoon]

Felt so good out this weekend in the deep south too! Now we're getting into the 90s this week

[candid solar]

They cross, but they don't really touch.

[frosty siren]

How bout the fact that yours toes always touch wachother

[trim saddle]

its currently 80 and its almost noon lol

[candid solar]

Guh.

I hate the weather so much. I left Vegas to get away from heat like this!

[trim saddle]

it followed you i guess?

[candid solar]

Where's my rain and snow, damn it

[trim saddle]

i like rain but spring and summer are my JAM.

find me on the kayak most of the time.

[frosty siren]

I think any of us that like rain has Halo 3 ODST as one of your fav halo games

[smoky token]

I have a question

Is the phrase “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse” a statement about the quality of a horse’s meat or the size of a horse and how much the user of the phrase could eat?

[forest lagoon]

If they're smushed together inside a shoe sure

[trim saddle]

covered porch swing in my back yard JUST for sitting in the storms

[azure canopy]

humans should just evolve to have 1 big toe instead of 5 toes

[frosty siren]

This town aint big eboufht for the 2 of us

[forest lagoon]

Idk, I've never eaten at an IKEA to know what horse taste like

[frosty siren]

Like horses?

[smoky token]

that’s what horses did. It didn’t work out so good for them.

[candid solar]

It's about the size.

[trim saddle]

the process has started with certain bloodlines, my family has webbed feet.

[frosty siren]

The mussles of the horse get eaten

[forest lagoon]

We'd have almost no balance that way

[candid solar]

Well, that, and Horses have very... Strange body mechanics. Like how they rhythmically breath while running.

[frosty siren]

Nah just eveone a a toe faceibg backwards

Balanced as all things should be

[trim saddle]

it worked out great until humans started riding them which causes different wear on their hoofs lol

[smoky token]

noooot really

there’s this whole tumblr thread about horse’s hearts and veins and how they connect to their hooves I could send you

[candid solar]

Personally I think that birds are really cool.

[smoky token]

birds are really cool

[frosty siren]

Bird is the word

[trim saddle]

oh so its more than just hoof wear thats an issue

[frosty siren]

Dumb question but has there been any cases of human cross speices with aliens

[forest lagoon]

The hoof wearing is mainly a problem if you are on paved roads. Not an issue really if you stay riding on land

[candid solar]

No, aliens have never been seen IRL.

[frosty siren]

In halo*

[hasty zinc]

I can see where this is going

[candid solar]

Well, you can't crossbreed a chimpanzee with a papaya, if that's what you're asking.

[trim saddle]

oh in halo

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/liara-liara-tsoni-mass-effect-liara-mass-effect-gif-26042099

[frosty siren]

Starwars did it a lot. But where is halos

[candid solar]

Unlike Star Wars, Halo tends to surprisingly acknowledge that it's impossible.

[trim saddle]

ONI probably has a few files on it, lots of black ink.

[smoky token]

i’ll try putting this as best as I remember cause I read it a long time ago: basically because horses have one big toe instead of 5 littler ones, they also have one big supercharged vein for that toe, and it moves around blood really fast, especially when the horse is startled which happens all the time as an evolutionary mechanic

problem is that this creates ridiculously high blood pressure for horses who’s hearts simply can’t handle it, so a startled horse is particularly likely to just drop dead of a heart attack whenever it’s heart gets blood moving

[normal owl]

Yet another untapped area of lore that would be illuminated by the Halo dating sim.

[smoky token]

as the vein wears it also can increase the likelihood of certain vein-related injuries

[trim saddle]

oh.. oh my.. that brings "The Weapon" to a COMPLETELY different topic lol

[forest lagoon]

Even in star wars there are only very specific species.
Halo isn't like Star Wars. There isn't a place with a lot of different aliens and humans peacefully coexisting. It's setting is in a full scale war

[frosty siren]

Engrgy sword vs lighsaber. Who wins

I say engery sword

[candid solar]

I'd make a sequel to the Trenchbird dating sim, but people aren't buying the one that's already out.

[normal owl]

It would test your lore knowledge in a totally different way. Example: you're taking your brute date to a steakhouse for the first time. They run to the restroom and ask you to order for them. To pass the checkpoint, you need to correctly order their steak rare. Bonus dialogue option: "Your steak is seared just the way you like it."

[trim saddle]

i feel like theyre the same thing, just different adaptations of the same tech. they both can be activated and deactivated at will.

[trim saddle]

seared, and nothing else. so all the juices are kept inside.

[frosty siren]

A.i relataionships gonna be even weirder

[granite sky]

hint for brute date: probably best to not mention home planet

[normal owl]

Good tip! Selecting that dialogue option eliminates possible good outcomes.

[smoky token]

https://youtu.be/teHu8Njm5HE?si=3kTJH5XxBJhIjV3B

[trim saddle]

get something wrong and you get tossed like a unggoy

[normal owl]

Gotta go back to that save point right before the date started.

[trim saddle]

it autosaved right before I said that Atriox was weak.

[fickle drift]

Nothing like a bit of timeline abuse to recover your relationship eh

[normal owl]

That's never gone badly for anyone in a story ever, so I think we're all right!

[trim saddle]

timeline is as its supposed to be

[normal owl]

Messing with timelines is harmless right?

[trim saddle]

time police wont be kicking down out door anytime soon

better use that Quantum Translocator ™

[normal owl]

to get some quality time.

Speaking of time, another milestone:

[smoky token]

If I was you I’d try switching to Babbel or Rosetta Stone

Duolingo is not good as a language learning tool and most of their lessons are written by AI now

[candid solar]

Eeeewwwww.

[normal owl]

I already have the Rosetta Stone license-for-life thing but Duolingo is such an easy and bite-sized thing that's effortless to fit into my life. I'm fluent in what I'm learning now: was using these sections as habit-builders, and it's accurate so far. Once it stops being accurate, I'll switch and try Babbel.

[hasty zinc]

yeah but do they teach klingon?

[normal owl]

*head butts someone to flirt

[hasty zinc]

duolingo teaches it lol

[normal owl]

So far, Duolingo's been like fitness: sure there are more objectively effective ways like personal trainers and expensive gyms, but building the habit to eat right and exercise is the most important starting point, and Duolingo's excellent at that.

[candid tusk]

It works as a good stretch/warmup the further you get in difficulty from English.

[normal owl]

It's also fun: their system of gamifying it is pretty darn good.

[candid tusk]

True. Streaks, friends, and leaderboards all help bring it all together as something you want to do.

What we won't do is compare my activity to yours though. 😮‍💨

[frosty siren]

I did that in star feild

[normal owl]

lol I see you pop up now and then doing a lesson.

[candid tusk]

It's rare, yeah... I've been using other resources.

[obsidian wyvern]

lol same

[frosty siren]

So what worng thing did u so. I made stuff levate in the ship and she got made

[obsidian wyvern]

think I killed someone idk, been like 8 months

[frosty siren]

Your able to forcepush there face into a rock. But if u make stuff in home ship float they get mad

[teal sparrow]

Yo how do I get people to play with me in BTB

[frosty siren]

Itratus will help with that

[teal sparrow]

[frosty siren]

About 70% is bot

You're a bot

[frosty siren]

Arent we all programed in some sort of way

Im just a tank

I should update my tabk pic

Bunch of families' kids yell into their parent's mic "Xbox, buy ten thousand vbucks."

Unfortunately, no AI is powerful enough to actually perform action "Xbox, improve my aim." 😔

[bold sparrow]

"no one else can make a sword exactly in this manner, manner, welcome to my manor, manor."

I just hope it doesnt turn on while your in a party cause if I accidentally trigger it using a Deez joke...

[normal owl]

Now, will MS Copilot on Xbox help you with Xbox Copilot settings?

[topaz gazelle]

ever puted a metal gears rising revengeance boss theme on a halo infinite boss fight or any halo games missions?

[candid tusk]

Never.

[topaz gazelle]

have the idea of putting now?

[candid tusk]

Not even a little.

[azure canopy]

i think im gonna make some armour

[obsidian wyvern]

you should be allowed to quit with no penalty on isolation 😤

[bronze breach]

44 deaths lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Beautiful map

[obsidian wyvern]

shut up:£5-

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[topaz gazelle]

wait a sec, just thinked in new and old zealand case, so... if there is new alexandria, where is the OLD alexandria??

[worldly sedge]

Woah you guys have the Watchdog armor coating?

[floral pollen]

that ain't Watchdog, if you're talking about Morb's pic

[bronze breach]

It's some rando banished coating

Brute might I think

[floral pollen]

that sounds right
I was gonna say it didn't look like anything I'd seen

[smoky token]

@trenchbird 90 degrees with cloud cover atm

wtf

@candid solar

[sly basalt]

hiii

[normal owl]

Similar here

[normal owl]

but dang you looked fresh while doing it!

[candid solar]

Pain

[fickle drift]

I might be kinda late with this news, but the Needle Minder helmet attachment is able to be used on the Air Assault helmet AKA Kat's helmet.

[floral pollen]

that was found out a while ago

[fickle drift]

I know...

[floral pollen]

I'm considering getting the attachment but I also never use AA

I'm prolly just gonna save SP for Tenrai, bc I want Kabuto

[fickle drift]

It's up to you.

I like the helmet.

[floral pollen]

I've been running Agitator with cat ears for the past while lol

[obsidian wyvern]

kat looks jank in infinite

most reach stuff does unfortunately

[normal owl]

Kat looked best in Gears 5

[obsidian wyvern]

true

[tight remnant]

I think a lot of reach stuff looks great in infinite

[fickle drift]

I think it depends on what you're going for.

[normal owl]

I'm going for Connect Four.

[fickle drift]

We got a comedian here.

[floral prawn]

most armore cores*

[candid solar]

Seeker core when

No seriously Seeker core when

[fickle drift]

When the next game inevitably rolls around, would you guys rather have the core system stay or go back to having one Spartan that you can just customize a whole lot?

[graceful inlet]

Good Night Spartans!
(And Our Marines. 🫂)

[cedar spruce]

One Spartan, the core system isn’t like super bad but I just don’t think it’s necessary

[fickle drift]

I'd say that's a statement right there.

[obsidian wyvern]

wow yeah that is a statement!

[candid solar]

Statement

[obsidian wyvern]

😱 statements everywhere bro

[candid solar]

Both at the same time.

A roster of empty slots, where cores are just one part of the armor choice selection.

[fickle drift]

Moths are the most underrated insects.

[normal owl]

and they're unfairly stigmatized. They're actually pretty cute.

[fickle drift]

I'd go as far to say they're potentially better than butterflies.

[normal owl]

Way cuter than butterflies. Butterflies set the expectations for how fluttering insects should look, and moths are trying to be graceful but have their pudgy fuzzy bodies.

[candid solar]

Wow. Someone actually made their own version of Seeker that didn't make me want to turn their brainpan into a soup bowl.

Captures the big brow plate and goofy 'speakers' of the original, while making it look better in the process.

[fickle drift]

That's pretty neat.

[normal owl]

Kind of has whispers of Vale's helmet.

[candid solar]

A bit. Most Seeker designs tend to move waaaaaay too far.

Like, this? Nah. Why's the visor small? Seeker's an Operator visor helmet, not a Commando visor helmet.

[fickle drift]

Hold on, this reminds me of something I saw a few hours ago...

[candid solar]

Seeker's gotta have a big visor and big 'speakers', plus a forehead that could bash through a mountain. Anything else is getting seeker wrong.

Touch grass

[obsidian wyvern]

just forget about seeker

it never existed

[normal owl]

It's a seeker-et

[fickle drift]

Seeked

[candid solar]

No. We need to memorialize Seeker. It must exist in all versions of Halo.

[fickle drift]

But why?

[candid solar]

This started as a meme. Now I believe Seeker is the single most important armor in Halo history.

[fickle drift]

It looks like an overly complicated coffee maker.

[candid solar]

The question of cowards and fools. A true Seeker of truth only knows that they must SEEK.

[fickle drift]

A fool, you say?

[fickle drift]

I knew it.

[pulsar cobalt]

Better this helmet stay in the bin tbh 😂

[candid solar]

Me with EVA[C]

[obsidian wyvern]

yo this is coming from zug who likes chasm, behemoth and isolation. maybe he can redeem himself with more takes like these

[candid solar]

Well, I guess liking 1 okay map out of 3 ain't bad

[fickle drift]

What if someone theoretically wanted elites in Infinite?
What would the consensus be on that individual?

[candid solar]

I would find them and destroy them with my mind

[fickle drift]

Very interesting.

[pulsar cobalt]

I like Snowbound also 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah, into the bin

[fickle drift]

What if someone liked to use the Covenant Frontline coating, would that be in the same vein as an "elite lover"?

[obsidian wyvern]

into the bin as well

[fickle drift]

But... why into the bin?

[obsidian wyvern]

excused

[fickle drift]

Hmm... I see.

[bronze breach]

Slap covenant frontline on rakshaa. Its the closest core you can use to resemble an elite

[pulsar cobalt]

You know what keep gen 2 in the bin also 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

trench is about to DM you 17 paragraphs

[bronze breach]

Both of you need to go in the bin.

[fickle drift]

What about me?

[bronze breach]

You can join them too if you want!

[obsidian wyvern]

hey don't make me bring up those 40 deaths darkchaoz

[fickle drift]

n o

[bronze breach]

It's your fault. Rev. You got me stuck to play husky raid just to finish challenges

[obsidian wyvern]

oh it was on husky raid, understandable

[bronze breach]

Still your fault. Had I not known about how 1quickly the matches go. I would have stuck to firefight

[obsidian wyvern]

I think I was playing husky raid that time, we didn't find each other 🙁

[bronze breach]

Is that Valhalla map low weighting on husky raid

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah, fortunately

[bronze breach]

Good. Because speed boost with duelist sword is OP

Why is that Map in there lol

[fickle drift]

Why isn't there an option to change the color of an energy sword?

[dreamy stirrup]

friendly reminder that my DMs are not for random questions or anything

if you have questions, you can ask them in chat and hope we see them

[fickle drift]

Oh, sorry.

[forest lagoon]

[normal owl]

@obsidian wyvern trying to find a listening ear for how to express his secret love of LOTR again? Don't be ashamed Rev!

[obsidian wyvern]

wait what

oh

[fickle drift]

Eh, probably not.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah totally, I watched all 3 movies last night and didn't want to say I actually enjoyed it this time round

let's not

[fickle drift]

Fantastic argument.

[bronze breach]

Rev you finding a summer job now?

[forest fulcrum]

I feel my actions resulted in that message above so I'll ask this then. Is there an email for business related enquiries I can use to get in contact with someone at 343 regarding licensing?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I am

[normal owl]

So happy to welcome you into the fold!

[forest fulcrum]

Been searching everywhere for something and most I've gotten is either here, or support tickets which never got me results

[bronze breach]

Same. Looking for my next legal job. I feel so relieved yet concerned after leaving my current firm.

Cant wait to see what the future holds now!

[normal owl]

Wishing all the good fortune! I know you've worked hard, gone through a lot, and have a very bright future ahead of you.

[fickle drift]

Make your dreams come true.

[bronze breach]

Thanks attorney! Actively searching everyday instead of just gaming hahaha

[obsidian wyvern]

oh u finally left, congrats lol

[bronze breach]

16th was my last day.

Colleagues given me £60 worth of steam cards

[normal owl]

That's a mark of high character: choosing discipline over immediate desires. Very admirable that you're choosing resilience and proactivity.

[bronze breach]

Either I will save up for Gears 6 or spend on halo infinite

[forest lagoon]

Support is probably the best way to go if you can't find anything on the site. Otherwise it might not even be an option

[obsidian wyvern]

just wait for the gears announcement lol

[forest fulcrum]

Support have stated there's nothing they can do.

[bronze breach]

I'm hoping it will be ar this year showcase in june

[forest fulcrum]

I've had to resort to sadly sending a DM as I had no clue who to contact.

[bronze breach]

Praying for it

[obsidian wyvern]

were you the one who got locked out because of 2fa or smthn

[fickle drift]

Keep pushing, man.

[forest fulcrum]

No?

[obsidian wyvern]

right

[forest fulcrum]

My query is regarding licensing in relation to the game content usage rules.

[fickle drift]

You know, if sam is actually reading the chat... then I'm going to take this chance to ask a question.

And I don't care if this gets me hunted down, I'm gonna ask it:

[forest fulcrum]

But there's no contact information available anywhere to contact the relevant people or departments sadly

[forest lagoon]

What you're looking for might not exist then

[obsidian wyvern]

"are we ever gonna get playable elites in infinite"

[fickle drift]

...impossible.

He predicted my line...

[forest lagoon]

The answer is no unless stated otherwise. There you go

[fickle drift]

I'VE BEEN READ LIKE A BOOK.

[forest fulcrum]

That's greatly unfortunate if that's the case then

[obsidian wyvern]

Dinos going extinct were 343s biggest achievement

[bronze breach]

I'd say unless you not making money from it any way or form. It's good as long as it conform with the usage rules

Probably bad advice lol

[forest fulcrum]

That's not what the query is relating to so don't worry in that regard

[fickle drift]

Geez, what did elties ever do to you, man? This hatred is p o t e n t. Not judging or anything, but it's S T R O N G.

[forest fulcrum]

I've read the content rules thoroughly, following them already, this is more business related enquiry territory.

[pulsar cobalt]

The hitbox on halo 2 and 3 gave him PTSD 😂

[fickle drift]

Being forced to attack with them in Reach Invasion, don’t forget about that.

Love going against a high ground where they all have magnums and we’re stuck with repeaters.

[pulsar cobalt]

Repeaters 🤡 gun

[fickle drift]

You’re right it is the Elite gun

[obsidian wyvern]

you could probably find someone big in the community who'd know

[winter flame]

Anyone think it’s wild Lando Norris, who will probs be one of the greatest F1 drivers, has a Halo esports team lol?

[bronze breach]

Didn't know odsts drop in firefight lol

[obsidian wyvern]

like someone who's done a lot with halo assets

[obsidian wyvern]

I was actually thrown off when I found out it was his team

[forest fulcrum]

I wish, already tried that avenue as I have connections with some content creators, its purely either directly 343 or some xbox department related.

[normal owl]

Someone small (or tall, or short) may know as well.

[soft wharf]

They were last seen in 2014

[obsidian wyvern]

wish they'd go extinct in mcc too

[soft wharf]

I like playable elites

[bronze breach]

Dinos probably in those cylex pods

[normal owl]

D-elite them.

[soft wharf]

They add more variety to multiplayer customization

And dare I say the cringe word: player expression

[fickle drift]

Really I don't care outside of general H3, that's where they cause issues for me.

[soft wharf]

Honestly if you make your own custom Spartan vs elite game modes, it’s entertaining

[fickle drift]

Man, some of this is looking like Kendrick Lamar levels of hating. Not judging, of course.

[soft wharf]

However people go way into the rp, I just want to simulate invasion again

[fickle drift]

Like your fringe modes in other games or your weird RP servers sure
But the second it impacts my gameplay experience that's when I pull the trigger.

[soft wharf]

It’s for fun

[forest fulcrum]

It probably sounds like I haven't with the replies but I have tried this.

[soft wharf]

Halo 2 might have been an issue, but if you grew accustomed to where their hitboxes are the. It wouldn’t be a problem

[fickle drift]

That's a image.

[soft wharf]

The Halo 2A art style was trash, Halo 4 basically

[obsidian wyvern]

bleh

[fickle drift]

An Elite player's weird xeno-self-insert player model shouldn't trump other player's gameplay experience.
Sorry if that's a hard line for some folk, don't really care.

[normal owl]

I was joking around with a pun on "big". But in seriousness, I'm sorry that you've hit dead ends with your attempts at connecting with someone about this. I know that can be very frustrating when you have a genuine inquiry. I wish we had more insight on this, but all we can do is wish you luck on your endeavor and look forward to what you're making.

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[soft wharf]

If seeing a different character model offends you then I can’t help you

[fickle drift]

LISTEN...

[soft wharf]

It’s easy to deal with elite players like it is with Spartans

[fickle drift]

It just depends on how they're implemented, THEN it's a debate as to if they work well or not.

[forest fulcrum]

Thanks, I'm hoping with the connections I have and the people supporting it atm that at least someone will allow me to reach out. So far our project is going extremely well, just needing that extra, bit of transparency and communication ya know?

[soft wharf]

Halo 3 has the most fair implementation

[obsidian wyvern]

where is that video

[fickle drift]

Said player model flinching, throwing off my shot, when I already have to deal with projectile lead and random spread, does offend me, yes.
That's ignoring the legitimate hole in their neck.

[fickle drift]

lol,
lmao even

I rofl'd

[soft wharf]

That you have to get at by a specific angle

[hasty zinc]

it doesn't matter

it happens

[hasty zinc]

when it shouldn't

[soft wharf]

It’s probably a bug they didn’t bother patching

[fickle drift]

They flinch from the front, hole in the neck from the side, and they're hunched over from the back.
They're broken, it's not an opinion.

[soft wharf]

Could be easily fixable their model and bipeds match Spartans

[fickle drift]

If I can just say this: I feel like Infinite's elites could arguably be the most "balanced" if they were playable?

[soft wharf]

I don’t see an issue with them, they’re easy to deal with

[obsidian wyvern]

and then you have a whack looking elite on hand

[hasty zinc]

smol

[obsidian wyvern]

just keep them out of the game. oh 343s done that? perfect

[soft wharf]

There’s more wack looking Spartans, people always wearing the marathon or ninja gaiden armor

[normal owl]

Understandable. We have no power or influence to create those kinds of connections, but we do wish you the very best with it. Keep showing it off in #1076327824924872755 and other avenues and no doubt you'll be picking up eyeballs for your great work!

[soft wharf]

And did you see halo infinite? The most cringiest designs I’ve ever seen

[fickle drift]

I just wanted to ask about elites, that's all I wanted to do... Now I've started a metaphorical wildfire.

Right but their heads don't flinch and they don't have holes in their hitboxes.

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm not using this to defend bad looking spartans lol

[trim saddle]

elites have different hitbox, cant balance, dont need to. just make them each have strenghts and weaknesses. outlaw in ranked to appease the sweaty ppl.

[forest fulcrum]

All good to do things like bumping my original post right like I just did?

[fickle drift]

Some dude with a unicorn helmet still has the same hitbox as me, the armor doesn't change the actual shape.

[candid solar]

They're nearly a foot and a half taller than Spartans.

[soft wharf]

The shield should give you a good indicator you’re landing your shots

[candid solar]

And have vastly different proportions.

[obsidian wyvern]

that's not the poinnnnnt

[fickle drift]

I'm being educated on the fact that shield flare exists.

Thank you so much.

[soft wharf]

Who cares about competitive

Competitive is what was killing halo infinite for the casual playlists

[trim saddle]

I dont, but they have a strong voice apparently because we all hear it

[obsidian wyvern]

ah yes unfair starts

[trim saddle]

i agree

[fickle drift]

WAIT

[trim saddle]

social is full of unfair starts

[soft wharf]

I think elites can offer that casual experience to those who only care about social

If you want to play competitive than play ranked, problem solved.

It’s not like most elite players are good anyways, I don’t see an issue here

[fickle drift]

I mean I'll compromise with you and say I don't care if Elites are pushed off to side modes and the CGB

But then it's like, good luck convincing the team that they're worth their while at that point.

[pulsar cobalt]

Elites are perfect for social and pve modes

[fickle drift]

This is the problem, I feel like(only kinda) if elites were playable in Infinite from launch, then 343 could've taken time to tweak them a bit. Fine tune it and get it to a good state. (MAYBE)
I might be reaching with that, though.

[soft wharf]

I think invasion is an interesting mode too

[fickle drift]

Invasion would be better as Spartan vs Spartan. You know, give the attacking team a chance beyond morons on the other team.

[normal owl]

No worries this time, but from now on, it's understandable why posts can only be kept current for genuine engagement, not intentional bumping. While your project is very cool, you can see how easily bumping could be abused by anyone to hoist their item's visibility. Hope that's understandable. Don't be discouraged; quality always shines through regardless!

[soft wharf]

The elites are just given bad starting load outs

Bungie tried replicating covenant weapons to be more UNSC and failed miserably

[forest fulcrum]

alrighty just wanting to make sure I understand what rules are in place for posting content as stuff gets lost really really fast in show and tell. For my team and I exposure early on is paramount atm. Cheers for the info

[fickle drift]

We good?

[obsidian wyvern]

does anyone have that playable elites figure

[pulsar cobalt]

Invasion would be better of as a pve mode

[obsidian wyvern]

like there was only 2% of the player base that used them or smthn lol

[soft wharf]

That’s scary of 343 is able to track down your data for a personal option

[obsidian wyvern]

are you ok

[forest fulcrum]

Also just real quick, ||could I possibly DM if that's allowed?||

[soft wharf]

How do they know what you’re rocking? Customization is a personal preference. Something that can entirely be done offline too

[obsidian wyvern]

bruh

you're actually being srs?

[candid solar]

Yes.

[pulsar cobalt]

343 can 100% see what core is being most used and stuff

[soft wharf]

I’m talking about statistics for past halo games

[fickle drift]

Listen, if elites come to Infinite and it's really a question of "my gameplay would be at risk": I'd say just keep them out of ranked modes, problem solved(possibly). (it might be a reach)

[soft wharf]

How can they get data from a personal option like in Halo 1-R

[fickle drift]

Your preferred species would be part of telemetry data.

But it'd be skewed in Reach anyway given the gametype segregation.

[hasty zinc]

MCC is online

I'm sure they have all kind of datapoints they can get

[soft wharf]

Insane

[hasty zinc]

not really, all that stuff has to load in

[fickle drift]

Aye, and Bungie.net knew all that stuff as far back as H3 so

[soft wharf]

Okay but can it go back to the Halo 2 and 3 days?

[hasty zinc]

just like how discord is getting all your data rn when you're talking in here

[soft wharf]

Crazy

[fickle drift]

I do wonder about H2, I know Vista had stat tracking
For all that was worth

[candid solar]

They got metrics the same way.

[fickle drift]

So in summary, "are playable elites coming to Infinite?", the answer to that question is "no until said otherwise" and/or "it's possible"?

[obsidian wyvern]

I can't find the article where they talked about how many people played as elites, closest I've got is that it was only 6% of you guys

[candid solar]

How many times have you been told that

[soft wharf]

Halo Infinite still gets updated?

[fickle drift]

Just making sure.

[obsidian wyvern]

he asks like every day

[fickle drift]

https://tenor.com/view/its-groundhog-day-again-reporting-news-bill-murray-groundhog-day-gif-10873928

[obsidian wyvern]

come back tomorrow to see if the question has changed

[candid solar]

Must be getting an amnesiatic concussion every time.

[fickle drift]

...

Am I?

[obsidian wyvern]

banging his head finding out the answer is no

[fickle drift]

what did i do

[obsidian wyvern]

nothing, it's just elite preferred species hating time 😁

[fickle drift]

Isn't that everyday?

[obsidian wyvern]

YES ZUG YOU AS WELL ITS NOT THE NEXT CORE

[fickle drift]

...

[pulsar cobalt]

It's the next core

[obsidian wyvern]

keep praying for gen 6 zug

[fickle drift]

But what if it was? (theoretically speaking)

[pulsar cobalt]

It could be Orion though

[obsidian wyvern]

wait not gen 6, uhh Mk6? I forgot which one it was

[pulsar cobalt]

Or it could be mark vi gen 1

[fickle drift]

How about Mk.1 in general

Guys...

[obsidian wyvern]

I can't take it

[fickle drift]

That's what she said.

[candid solar]

I did not say that.

[obsidian wyvern]

brurgr abanrjtsoqirvw +_;#(#832

[fickle drift]

I WON.

[candid solar]

It's Discord.

[fickle drift]

I DID IT!

[candid solar]

As you can tell by the blocked goober going off in Halo discussion on what I can only assume is an unhinged rant about camo being totally possible in Halo 3, you can't win.

[fickle drift]

I got to make the joke.

[obsidian wyvern]

ok gonna go finish steins gate :(

I kinda went through this really fast

[fickle drift]

Hooks you in doesn't it.

[obsidian wyvern]

why didn't you shill it more smh

[fickle drift]

Because I didn't want to overhype it

[amber mirage]

I thought we shilled it a decent amount

[soft wharf]

And you support needing to fork money for a simple shade as wanting white

[obsidian wyvern]

rok I swear u mentioned it like once lol

[fickle drift]

It is like, my actual favorite piece of media, in general, so I didn't want to push too hard lol

[amber mirage]

I think I put it on my suggestions list

[obsidian wyvern]

you did

[amber mirage]

That's like peak shilling from me

That's all the stuff I considered a must watch

[fickle drift]

It's a good shout

[obsidian wyvern]

fairs, like the 3 of 6 I've watched from your list have been really good

[candid solar]

Damn they're still going down there

[obsidian wyvern]

ngl it was that statue you showed that got me really interested h8

[fickle drift]

Yes she's perfect.

[pulsar cobalt]

What if we got playable jackals 😂

[amber mirage]

Only if they had aimbot

[soft wharf]

And you still yapping about it

[fickle drift]

I did try that Fiesta mod where you play as different species, was actually pretty fun in a chaotic way.

And where it belongs imo, in the realm of customs, fan content.

[amber mirage]

I also just realized I only recommended six things. Thought I did more.

[obsidian wyvern]

bang on

[amber mirage]

Once you finish all six

[fickle drift]

Aye, careful what you wish for Rev

[obsidian wyvern]

ffs

[fickle drift]

Bout to recommend Legend of the Galactic Heroes or smth

[pulsar cobalt]

I do think a battlefront mode would be great for halo

[amber mirage]

That was something I was holding back

[hasty zinc]

watch all of Macross

ALL of it

[obsidian wyvern]

my brother was shilling psycho pass a lot a few months back but I've never been huge on his suggestions lol

[fickle drift]

I thought you didn't like Macross Aegis lol

[normal owl]

Rev when are you going to watch my recommendations?

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't see a list smh

[hasty zinc]

I have a love/hate with Macross

it's just a lot

[soft wharf]

That’s what they were gonna do for halo 2 and why playable elites were added

[fickle drift]

True, lot of the older mecha shows just, have so much stuff

[obsidian wyvern]

btw I think klk was good, it was just weird lol. 4 is still good from me 😠

[soft wharf]

Elites were gonna have jackals and grunts accompanying them while Spartans had marines and such

[candid solar]

If Battletech fans and Robotech/Macross fans can agree on anything, it's their utter hatred of Harmony Gold.

[obsidian wyvern]

I only gave dune 2 a 4.5

[hasty zinc]

oh yeah, it's def weird lol

[soft wharf]

That movie was okay but some parts of it felt rushed

[hasty zinc]

but the music 🤤

[soft wharf]

The music is great

[obsidian wyvern]

idk I just think I expected a lot more from everyone hyping it up

[fickle drift]

Sawanooooooo

[soft wharf]

Reminder me of halo 4, the one good thing about that game tbh.

[obsidian wyvern]

sawano doesn't miss huh

[hasty zinc]

whoa whoa

let's calm down

[soft wharf]

The problem with the movie is it has more spectacle than anything. The Paul and chani love story felt tacky, and there were some stuff omitted from the book

[soft wharf]

I liked the soundtrack ngl

[obsidian wyvern]

ive heard the book is uh, yeah

[soft wharf]

It gets really weird but it’s good

[obsidian wyvern]

or was that the first first dune movie idk

[soft wharf]

Messiah, children of dune, and god emperor are really wacky but they’re good reads

It does has some questionable stuff in it

[obsidian wyvern]

I think I'll stick to the films. I like them a lot but I don't think it's something absolutely crazy

[soft wharf]

Yeah, the books get too crazy

[ocean herald]

Bro what

4.5 is wild

[fickle drift]

Out of 5 he means

Going by Letterboxd's rating system

[ocean herald]

Oh I see

[fickle drift]

This is when Rev comes back like 'nah out of ten'

[normal owl]

It is so hard to pick some favorites! Aside from the big obvious recent releases, some of the "journeys" I've really enjoyed in film have been:

• Band of Brothers (HBO 10-episode series) - for when you want to go through a journey of brotherhood.

• Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles (by Zhang Yimou) - for those time when you're wide awake wondering about life and what it all means.

• Apocalypto (set in Mayan times) - for when you're ready to have wide eyes and white knuckles for like an hour straight.

• The Dead Lands (set in Maori times) (but there is a middle part focusing on mystical elements that drags on) - for when you're open to something "dang that's different and cool!" vs being a cinephile.

I first saw all of these many years after their actual release and was impacted by them all, so that tells me they stand the test of time pretty well. I would definitely skip any trailers though as some of their trailers give way too much away.

[austere venture]

Whatcha guys talkin bout?

[winter plume]

🥺 👉 👈 no more #giveaways ?

[amber mirage]

Be the change you want to see. Give something of yours away.

[real shard]

I need people to play the Steam MCC with me but none of my friends play on PC : (

I want to play mods.

[dreamy stirrup]

why can't you play on steam and - oh

[real shard]

If only console had a mods browser for MCC just like the Bathesda games

A man can dream.

[cedar turret]

I hope that happens. Reach needs a laugh track.

[real shard]

Yup

And a playable The Tick character. I want to play as the Tick.

[rare cedar]

Good morning, Spartans

[normal owl]

Yooooooo

[buoyant cave]

HELLO GUYS

who is clapping

WHY ARE WE CLAPPING

[cedar turret]

a penicillin allergy?

[abstract heart]

"Halo Infinite"

• halo infinite

Halo infinite

Billions of armor customizations

[lapis ivy]

What controllers can play halo infinite on steam with?

I use an Xbox controller but I hear you can use the steam controller Amazon Luna,stadia, playstation and switch so many controllers on steam

[shrewd stone]

Heyo

[obsidian wyvern]

I think pretty much any

[obsidian wyvern]

added to my never ending list

[lapis ivy]

Already three games have a mod browser ark survival ascended, Skyrim and fallout

With ark I don't need to play it on steam unless I purchase ark survival ascended on steam

I need halo infinite campaign I only got multiplayer for free

[lapis ivy]

Yeah I got an Amazon Luna controller

[shrewd stone]

What ship should I 3d print next? Spirit of fire, a Punic class carrier, or a Paris class frigate?

I already did infinity and pillar of autumn

[obsidian wyvern]

if it doesn't work straight away, I'm guessing it'll work with steams controller support

[candid solar]

Vindicator LBS

[shrewd stone]

I don't have a gcode for that yet T-T

[normal owl]

I edited the list with mood descriptors in case that helps narrow down a choice to gamble on depending on what kind of watcher you feel like in that moment.

[lapis ivy]

Yeah it does work just that steam counts it as a Xbox controller lol

[quartz wing]

anyone getting massive lag fluctuations in ranked infinate arena?

[jade walrus]

behind paywalls

[lapis ivy]

🤦‍♂️

[bold sparrow]

Even the free stuff outstrips even Halo 5 at this point.

Especially since technically you arent limited to three choices for armor. Which frees up a LOT more.
(Of course, everyone inevitably goes towards a few armor pieces, but thats just the case with all customization; look at Reach at high level, tell me how many people you saw wearing anything but Security, robot arm, Haunted with the jet black visor and blue flames)

[normal owl]

Wow, finally went through my gaming stuff and assembled together all the new/sealed gaming hardware and software that I should give away. Feels good!

[tight remnant]

Only non-free stuff was voices of war

The free stuff in infinite is being lower as time goes on

[bold sparrow]

And the MK V helmets with Operaror

[worthy scroll]

Does anyone have any tips on the halo 2 mission Sacred Icon?

[signal wedge]

shoot

[pliant hatch]

they also gave it out for free at one point if you watched the hcs finals.

[cedar turret]

You can shoot the pillars to make them lift up from a distance to give you access to the slip n' slides.
When you get to the tram if you go to the back and walk up the main support you get dropped into a spot where you're safe and can just wait for the ride to end.

[pliant hatch]

the tram is the next mission, but that is a good trick.

[cedar turret]

true.

I suppose you could count spawn killing the flood pop ups

[opal mist]

hallo!!

[shy karma]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

did anyone play halo combat evolved before

[buoyant cave]

NO I DO NOT PLAY HALO COMBAT EVOLVED

[fickle drift]

Some girl at my school just had a seizure🤯🤯🤯

Evil

It was at sport too

We had to get her a medical taser because she stopped moving, she is ok

[livid oyster]

Get your priorities straight

[faint mantle]

TIL those things exist

Where were those when I was seizing smh

[frosty siren]

There hasnt been a halo memen vid in a long time

[tight remnant]

Had no idea or i forgot

[tight remnant]

Could buy them actually during time windows

[wild sleet]

Ahh yes, my Ping can sit at 150ms then decide we’re going to add another 50ms 3 mins into the match. Love this game

[worldly badger]

the all new adaptive ping

[tardy island]

I am a HERO
🥳

[meager linden]

Good morning spartans

[worldly badger]

[meager linden]

Congratulations

[feral chasm]

Has anyone else noticed how the skewer literally never registers?

[wild sleet]

Not since the network update

[worldly badger]

I love the much hyped network updates after 2.5 years of gathering data and shot reg is worse than launch

[feral chasm]

The skewer seems to have like a 50% chance to just go through vehicles or enemies for me

[tight remnant]

Congrats

[wheat river]

1.5 kd 46% WR halo matchmaking experience
