general-chat

[thorny glen]

The only person who hasn't agreed is just you dude, Idk who else you're talking about cause you're the only one who's ever brought it up. As I said, no need to keep bringing it up when we already had this discussion months ago. I can link you the halopedia articles again if that helps, otherwise move on.

[candid solar]

The UEG/UNSC do subjugate outer colony worlds and ONI likewise seeks human safety via dominion and, potentially, extermination. So, while humanity absolutely would, the point of the narrative is largely that actually attaining the narrative of the Mantle, as described, is not the proper way to go about it.

As it stands, The Created and their goal likely dampered a lot of internal attitudes towards trying to attain the mantle, which itself is kind of against the general tempo of the modern UEG anyways given their proclivities towards cooperation with other species when possible.

Of course, with Earth presumably still in the stranglehold of the Created, it's anyone's guess how this'll get perceived in the future. As it stands now the UNSC and ONI are both effectively in-exile.

[hollow void]

Books made it clear quite a few elites still hate humans. But one thing for sure pretending they didn't try to exterminate you 4 years ago is crazy

[candid solar]

As I've made clear elsewhere, humanity didn't forget.

But there's a point where squeezing a stone gets no blood, or no value.

[elfin glacier]

so 343

[candid solar]

And in the case of siding with Thel, well, it's smart diplomacy.

[hollow void]

I like how there's absolutely no peace loving aliens in Halo

[candid solar]

Well, the Grunts like peace.

[thorny glen]

as I was saying about the Mantle
Over many generations the Builder rate changed the view about what the Mantle meant, the Builders viewed the Mantle as them being able to control everything & everyone. All power would go to the Builders alone & no one else, even in Forerunner society.

"The Kradal conflicts in particular happened because of this (along with quite possibly many Forerunner civil wars).
"Rates that had accumulated millions of years’ worth of history, wealth, culture, knowledge, and ritual were forcibly absorbed by the Builders. This was achieved through the consistent erosion of the rates’ contributions to society, through corruption, and via campaigns of misinformation. With each assimilation, small-scale rebellion broke out across the ecumene, but was quickly tempered by Builder Security forces and Warrior-Servants forced to follow leadership and orders.
Some rebellions, however, led to full-scale civil wars."

"The Didact’s father was such a Forerunner—a Warrior-Servant by rate, but a descendant of the lost Interpreters and, as such, the need to uphold the Mantle and bring to light the misuse and misinterpretation and corruption of its laws was imprinted upon his very essence—just as Lifeworkers inherently nurtured, studied, and preserved life in all its forms, or Weavers told tales as soon as they had the ability to form simple sentences. The Didact’s father had become outspoken and passionate about his lost history, his innate ability to stir a crowd on par with the Speakers of old and the best silver-tongued Builders in the Capital. His eloquence had appealed to the true heart of Forerunners: their desire for glory, their joy in the diversity of rates, and the tremendous loss felt to Forerunner culture when identities and rituals were forgotten. He evoked the Mantle’s Twelve Laws of Making and Moving, its Upper and Lower Tenets of Authority, and the Rules of Virtue."

page 97 - 99 btw of Epitaph. Not sure why this doesn't get focused on more. There's a whole lot more stuff then just this to btw.

[elfin glacier]

both sides are aware but the ones who favor alliance are able to see the strategic benefit of being allies

[candid solar]

Thel's end goal is peace, as well. Or at least atonement and unity.

[elfin glacier]

like, Lord Hood in H3

[hollow void]

Also ONI trolling Arbiter by helping his enemies is something I hate

[thorny glen]

Point is the Builders viewed the Mantle as an excuse to control everything, which wasn't right, and wasn't the Forerunners original views of the Mantle.

[elfin glacier]

yes i don't hate H3 and i actually even like some of the lines

[candid solar]

The ending lines aren't bad, so.

[elfin glacier]

like Lord Hood to Thel

[candid solar]

I mean-the goal was destabilization, and shadow cabal organizations operating outside of jurisdiction and without proper oversight is not exactly uncommon.

[hollow void]

I like him. He introduced medics and the funny Elite medic conversations in Halo 5

[candid solar]

Yes, he actually made great strives to 'humanize' his military, because he's actually one of the best Sangheili leaders ever by dint of having a functioning brain.

[elfin glacier]

man i miss the down mission vibes from h5

[thorny glen]

It's mainly ONI that tries to control everything or at least the general narrative, which is bad, all the UNSC does is protect humanity from other species or internal conflicts that cause death.

[elfin glacier]

lots of worldbuilding and fluff

[candid solar]

It's funny that there's so many scenes where they'd be great in Infinite, especially if you kept a full fireteam a'la 5.

[hollow void]

I can understand not wanting Sanghelios to be a threat again but going against your Ally 😭

[candid solar]

Personally, I think a winning 'quartet' in Infinite could've been Locke, Tanaka, Chief, and Linda.

Covers all the needed bases, and the personalities are ones that have potential to bounce off eachother.

Sniper, Medic/Engineer, Generalist, Stealth/Scout.

[thorny glen]

mission down vibes?

[elfin glacier]

the guns down missions

[thorny glen]

still don't know what you're referring to

[fickle drift]

Nighterlev?

[hollow void]

I just learned that a Grunt caused contact harvest to go sideways?

[thorny glen]

oh wait i know what you're thinking of now

[elfin glacier]

turns nighterlev into this

[candid solar]

This is a certified Matrix moment

[thorny glen]

the ones that had your weapons lowered right @elfin glacier

[elfin glacier]

yes

[thorny glen]

new app who this

[candid solar]

I kinda wish my original prediction for Infinite's plot was what happened.

Kinda feel like it'd have been easier to backpedal from.

[elfin glacier]

he became the machine...

[thorny glen]

pretty sure it was a mix of Grunts & Brutes

[fickle drift]

Reopen dms with me so you can see. Was apart of yer serv a long while back.

[hollow void]

Which was

[fickle drift]

A grunt panicked and fired a shot at humans, then brutes started firing, it went to hell quickly

[thorny glen]

oh yea you said you were done with halo, change ur mind?

[elfin glacier]

i need this

[hollow void]

It's always those little mustards

[fickle drift]

I’m still conflicted at this point

[thorny glen]

why not just set up a timer where the computer turns itself on automatically

[candid solar]

Instead of the Infinity getting mollywhopped, I had predicted that Chief and a bunch of other Spartans would've been jumped in Bravo Company style onto Zeta Halo to counter a Banished attempt to gain control of the ring, with the Infinity leaving due to the heat of battle right away.

[elfin glacier]

hmm i should maybe actually do that one pc mod project i want to do where i take a car ignition and make it a power switch for my pc

[fickle drift]

I think Im just gonna stick with 3, reach, and only infinites firefight/infected tbh.

[fickle drift]

I love those little crab monkies

[candid solar]

Infinity still has an uncertain fate (It left), Chief's survival of being in space is less weird (In a drop pod rather than floating empty in space), full Spartan drop makes more sense, etc etc.

[thorny glen]

I still don't think the Infinity was destroyed, more so just heavily damaged & left to adrift in space. It's obvious it didn't get absorbed by the emergency slipspace portal Zeta Halo created (which is weirdly completely ignored in Infinite beyond an audio log that barely mentions it even happened).

[hollow void]

I think they went back to the early stages of the HCW where humanity is fighting a superior enemy with the destruction of the Infinity and the UNSC being fractured

[candid solar]

Which is dumb because the Created already fractured the UNSC.

They were already a disorganized exiled flotilla, they didn't need to double down.

If anything, destroying the Infinity makes it more unlikely that the UNSC could crawl back, not less.

[fickle drift]

Chief’s luck is above 10 clearly

[hollow void]

Well either 343 will bring the ship back or they will introduce a meaner ship

[thorny glen]

as of right now all that happened is -
whatever humans left on zeta halo are fighting but dwindling down in numbers
a distress beacon was sent out as described by Halo Rubicon Protocol (which never got mentioned in the game at all but who cares lol)
next campaign will involve UNSC reinforcements showing up and defeating the banished 🤷‍♂️

[hollow void]

I really liked the Infinity it was so cool. I need more Forerunner Human hybrids

[candid solar]

I still liked the lore tidbit of some of its mechanics being daisy-chained reverse-engineered Covenant tech.

[thorny glen]

I think the Infinity will come back tbh

[candid solar]

IE, connecting Forerunner stuff to Covenant stuff because those can talk; And connecting human stuff to that Covenant stuff because those can talk.

So they use the Covenant tech as a translator.

[hollow void]

Eh we don't know what happened to Lasky and Palmer, Eschsrum said they had control of the entire ring but that might be a lie

[candid solar]

Escharum was established as a liar pretty quick tbh.

[hollow void]

But Chief is kicking butts now

[hollow void]

Interesting. But confusing

[thorny glen]

Pretty sure they have there own contingent of humans that are also fighting the Banished somewhere else on the ring, we know they survived tho

[hollow void]

Technology can talk now

[thorny glen]

i'ma be honest I don't see the Banished being that big of a threat anymore after the next campaign

[hollow void]

We know that two Spartans is still alive

[thorny glen]

I think we'll be "defeating the banished on installation 07" more or less and done

[hollow void]

I really hate the Banished

[thorny glen]

then halo 8? will just be defeating the endless i guess? i have no idea lmao

whole aspect of the endless existing at all still makes no sense to me

[candid solar]

Not really, IMO.

[hollow void]

It's 2589 and Humanity is finally recolonising reach

[thorny glen]

you kinda have to bend a ton of logic for them to exist, like them not having any sort of central nervous system let alone a brain

[candid solar]

Human tech can't talk to Forerunner tech very well, Covenant were doing it for millennia.

[hollow void]

Oh what's that? noble Six's helmet?

[hollow void]

Didn't it talk once in one of the Spartan Ops episodes

Oh I see

[thorny glen]

100% positive the finding of Noble Six's helmet went like this

"huh whats that, another miners helmet?"
"nah it's more advanced then that but it's still ancient tech, probably just some random kids toy or a science experiment that survived the glassing, lets send it in for examining"

[hollow void]

Maybe Halo 8 should be set like 200 years into the future

By then Humanity would have reached atleast Tier 2

[candid solar]

Chief is somehow still alive

[thorny glen]

they froze him incase a future conflict was to happen again just like Doom guy

[livid oyster]

I'm still putting my eggs in the endless have some kind of relation to precursor basket

[thorny glen]

i actually am curious what long term effects of cryosleep are in the halo universe

[livid oyster]

Ideally for me I would like the next halo to be Chief's last. Either to die or be lost far away(similar to h3) but no coming back

[thorny glen]

we know they can do about 30 years without any ill effects, but what about 100 years? 200?

[hollow void]

I mean they have colony ships before the FTL drive was invented

So I assume way longer than that

[thorny glen]

Interstellar colony ships didn't exist until the FTL drive was invented

The only colony ships that existed before that were localized to the Sol system only

[hollow void]

I see

[candid solar]

Reminder that some Spartan IVs have a longer active service history as Spartans than Red Team

[thorny glen]

the Odyssey in particular was the very 1st colony ship that lead the wave of Human colonization outside of Sol, in 2362.

[hollow void]

Yes but Jerome singlehandedly survived Atriox and blew up their flagship

[thorny glen]

https://www.halopedia.org/Odyssey

[hollow void]

Interesting

That's like 200 years ago and Human population is already in the tens of billions

[candid solar]

He's got plot armor.

[thorny glen]

I do not see this happening, ever.
The last time we see Chief is when he dies tbh.

[hollow void]

Like beating the flood with a chair. Yeah sure he's probably younger than most but he's still legendary

[thorny glen]

FYI Atriox let them survive

Jerome didn't just "survive", he let them. He wanted them to run

[hollow void]

Yes but doesn't change the fact he defeated the Banished multiple times

Along with red team of course

[candid solar]

He didn't do it single handedly any of the times and his feats were matched by even dead Spartan IVs.

[hollow void]

Give them Gen 3 armor they will tear Atriox apart

[thorny glen]

I mean..yea?
200 years is a long time, you know we went from 1 billion to 8 billion in about 200 years just on Earth right?

[candid solar]

Sorel took a mortal gut wound and was actively dying and he still took out about 30 brutes and elites in melee.

[thorny glen]

Imagine this but on multiple planets, same thing.

[candid solar]

Stone disemboweled a brute after having half her body shattered by getting rammed by a ghost.

[hollow void]

But not to mention the city building, the terraforming, the bla bla bla

[thorny glen]

They have advanced tech, creating an entire house may as well be as simple as pressing a button that automatically creates the whole thing in minutes.

[hollow void]

That one dead Spartan IV in infinite with a screwdriver

[thorny glen]

which you know I would expect colony ships to have the most advanced tech capable of doing stuff like that. Life and death situation and all. You're not coming back.

[candid solar]

That was Sorel.

[hollow void]

Based

[candid solar]

The thing about the dead IVs in Infinite is that unlike Jerome, they actively never had a chance to recuperate their armor and weapons and wounds.

[hollow void]

Jerome just doesn't have enough screen time or storytelling. Hope to see him kick alien butt again in either media forms

[thorny glen]

He didn't beat the Flood with just a chair, he smashed a few spores with a chair & managed to kill any remaining flood on the Spirit of Fire.
Maybe 20 forms tops, not anywhere near the stuff Chief had to go through on Installation 04, or the Arbiter on 05, or really any moment the UNSC has encountered the Flood since.

[candid solar]

He's so boring.

[thorny glen]

They were also being actively quarantined by Serina at the time who was going rampant

[livid oyster]

Probably I just wouldn't mind either ending. And would prefer it to be sooner than later, man is getting old and seen enough

[hollow void]

I still think Spartan IIs are built different though.

[thorny glen]

Chief is only in his 40's, it's not like he's anywhere near the age Johnson was.

[candid solar]

They literally are built different. Like, structurally. But I think it makes the universe lose its magic if they aren't allowed to ever be surpassed.

[hollow void]

Even IVs like buck think they are legendary

What every Spartan wants to be

[candid solar]

I hate how Buck was written in that book.

[thorny glen]

Technically speaking Chief is 49, but Cryosleep has reduced this drastically to where he's probably no older then 42 - 45 tops. @livid oyster

[candid solar]

I really hate how Buck was written in that book.

[thorny glen]

Maybe even younger

[candid solar]

Professionals should not glaze other professionals that hard.

[livid oyster]

But the guy has known nothing but combat. Had no normal life, 40 to him is like 100 year civilian

[candid solar]

That level of fangirling (and blatant wrongness) is just... Ugh.

[thorny glen]

Full disagreement here.

If anything I think Chief should get the chance to experience a normal life tbh

he's actively denied ever doing it or making any time for one but it would be funny seeing it happen

[livid oyster]

I think there was a realization by John that his destiny was to die in combat

I think blue team as a whole had that realization

[thorny glen]

Nah, he specifically said the way he wants to die is in combat. Fighting, and losing.

not retiring or anything

[hollow void]

Master Chief can always call up that cute Marine from Halo 2

[candid solar]

Seriously, there are NSFW subs on other discords, GO THERE INSTEAD.

[livid oyster]

Well that to me means John shouldn't have a normal life because he doesn't want to

[thorny glen]

I don't think it's because he doesn't want one, it's because he sees a threat that needs to be dealt with 1st before he has time to do anything else.

[quaint ore]

whats the last gold rank ?

[thorny glen]

gold 6

or gold VI

then you go to Platinum 1

[quaint ore]

aight

im gold 4 righ now

but it says v under it

[quaint ore]

how does it work ?

[thorny glen]

V means gold 5, not 4

[rare cedar]

You continue to win games and increase your rank. Eventually, you’ll meet the threshold for Gold V

[quaint ore]

there is a big IV logo and there is a small v logo on its right

[thorny glen]

IV is 4, if it says gold V but not gold IV, that means your gold 5 @quaint ore

[rare cedar]

You’re currently gold 4, working towards gold 5

[thorny glen]

the rank is based off how many wins you get & player performance

usually the better you do, the higher you go up

even if you lose as long as you do good your rank won't decrease or decrease badly

[normal owl]

Finally bought a new printer for the home office.

Ugh cannot believe how much I've spent on laser toner over the last 5 yrs.

Printers are one of those bigger items that you feel zero satisfaction after spending the money: purely out of necessity and not pleasure.

[thorny glen]

wdym
ink goes on paper
it's the new thing, new century, this is the newest tech available today

[quaint ore]

im always the one with top kills with over 2000 points , but i usualy keep getting deranked beause of team mates

but its cool tho , im playing for fun

[normal owl]

the ppm of ink & quill has just not been satisfactory as of late.

[elfin glacier]

ink i am assuming?

[normal owl]

End of an era though: been faithful to Brother printers for years. But the toner costs rub me the wrong way when they still have print quality issues with OEM toner.

[elfin glacier]

who can we trust in this dark era

canon? epson?

[normal owl]

Yeah we've been trialing the new Epson EcoTank tech for about 6 months and results at office volumes has been very satisfactory. And it's crazy how inexpensive the ink is: $45 vs literally $300 for a 4-pack of laser toner.

I got this mid-range for the home and am using one of the big boys at the office.

It's crazy how technology has made ink printing viable for office use. 5 yrs ago, I laughed at anything not laser.

[rare cedar]

The amount of paper and ink used in the government is staggering

[elfin glacier]

hmmm

[normal owl]

Proud to support it as a taxpayer.

[rare cedar]

I'm guessing that "New Type of Printing Experience" is a massage during print jobs.

[rare cedar]

If you want an easy Noble Peace Prize or some high level award as a citizen, find a way to cut costs for the USG when it comes to paper and ink

WITHOUT using a tablet

[normal owl]

EZ: change default font size to 8. Margins: narrow: 0.5" on all sides.

Default font color: dark grey.

[rare cedar]

Nope, that won’t satisfy leaders as they’ll have to squint to read the words

[left bone]

ha

who needs glasses

[normal owl]

In seriousness though, I feel like people's reading preferences are really what's holding back saving on paper & ink. If people were willing to accept a 10-pt serif font, life would be so much simpler.

[rare cedar]

The answer should be tablets, but you can’t bring any tablet into a secure area. If there’s a way to make them, that’s the key to success

[normal owl]

Rate my Memorial weekend lunch

Dang it they're all stale. But I already poured all these so I can't not eat them.

[hasty zinc]

I had an absolute food tragedy last night

[normal owl]

Allow us to commiserate.

[normal owl]

That's a crime!

[hasty zinc]

my whole night was ruined

[normal owl]

Did you rightfully complain to Kellogg's yet?

[hasty zinc]

not yet

[candid tusk]

What you can do is break it in half and fold it. Put the frosting in the middle.

[hasty zinc]

not ONLY was the frosting missing, there was NO filling in the unfrosted section

[candid tusk]

Oh... That's bad.

[hasty zinc]

Oops all Crust

[normal owl]

AND that they'd dare do that on Memorial Day weekend. Terrible look.

[hasty zinc]

probably guerilla marketing for their movie Unfrosted, starring Jerry Seinfeld now streaming on Netflix

[normal owl]

I hope they make it right. This cannot stand.

[rare cedar]

It would be a 8/10 but seeing how it was stale, 2/10

[rare cedar]

[normal owl]

Refilling more stale chips 🥲

[meager linden]

Looks tasty

[normal owl]

Thank you! The chips were stale but the salsa was good.

Whether I enjoyed it or not, it served its purpose of filling my stomach until dinner: the true hype of the day!

como puedo poner halo 2 en español en master chef colection??

[clever tundra]

👍🏻

[quaint ore]

just unistalled this thing

cant find eu servers :3

[clever tundra]

[obsidian wyvern]

we were told at work that epson was good because you pay a lot for the printer, but the ink is way cheaper

oh i was scrolled up a lot

[rough valley]

How can I put Halo 2 in Spanish in Master Chef Collection?

[topaz gazelle]

metal

[normal owl]

But that's good to hear another verification of it being a good candidate.

[clever tundra]

this server disappoints me as a og Halo player

[candid solar]

?

[safe dawn]

As a still relatively new halo player, you disappoint me with your inability to let other people live their lives without judging them for no reason

[thorny glen]

as a OG Halo player from 2002 this server makes me happy

[bronze breach]

Here's a story for ya

Been waiting for my shift to start at 4am today. Waited for a guy to come and open up. Didn't even show up.

Tried to call manager but no one was picking up and colleague gone god knows where.

Was confronted by a thief who took some newspapers that was delivered outside. Had 2/3 angry truck drivers asking what on earth is going on lol. Tried to calm them all down

Didn't start my shift till 6.30am. Yes I been waiting for 2 and half hours lol until another colleague showed up

Talk about bad luck lol

[floral pollen]

pain

[clever tundra]

cry about that

[safe dawn]

Nah, i dont let random people on the internet get to me

[bronze breach]

Just went back and sat in my car after the thief till colleague showed up. He had a knife. Somehow he knows the newspapers were there for the taking.

Safe to say that colleague who didn't show up is going to be in deep trouble. 2 other delivery trucks left after waiting for 20 mins.

[opal geyser]

what is there to cry about?

[bold sparrow]

Someones getting pink-slipped

[opal geyser]

about how much you dissapoint me?
and @safe dawn

[bronze breach]

Looks like it. I was told this was not the first occasion either lmao

[floral pollen]

There's a very small part of me that's glad I don't have a job, especially after hearing this lol
but I do also want a job, so I'm minorly conflicted lmao

hope it all got sorted tho

[safe dawn]

Get a job where you dont have to worry about this happening

[bronze breach]

It did. I could have gone home, but I'll be in trouble too lol

[fickle drift]

Hey guys i have a problem
The game launches at 1366x807 when it was previously released in a 16:9 proportion (1920x1080) Any solution to get the game back to 16:9?

[bronze breach]

Another story: two occasions, bread delivery driver left bread delivery in the car park store entrance.

By the time I arrived with someone to open up, some people stole some bread.

Store manager reported the delivery as theft as they shouldn't have dumped it there to begin with.

[floral pollen]

there should be an option to change that in video settings
mine's been booting in smallscreen today for some reason

[bronze breach]

So both occasions, 4 stacks of bread was left outside.

Gotta love working in food retail. So much drama.

[meager linden]

Good night spartans

Hi everyone am new here 👋👋

[livid oyster]

Welcome to the salty spitoon, what rank are ya

[floral pollen]

Welcome

[candid solar]

I do wonder what Halo's equivalent of a milkless bowl of nails would be.

[livid oyster]

I got my augmentations.. without any milk

Gave it my best shot

[fickle drift]

beating legendary for the first time without using the noob combo

[candid solar]

Nah, that's too low tier.

[livid oyster]

I played one mission on laso and only cried for 20 minutes?

[obsidian wyvern]

pulse combined with the bulldog was op

[bronze breach]

@obsidian wyvern I'll play with ya when they expand it to bigger teams lol

[jade walrus]

Btb is too unfair due to how garbage sbmm is

[obsidian wyvern]

QUIT COMPLAINING ABOUT SBMM ITS NOT THE PROBLEM

[obsidian wyvern]

why not 4 players 🤨

[jade walrus]

Yes it is technically

[bronze breach]

game finishes quickly because everyone dies so quickly lol

or leaves

[obsidian wyvern]

the start of the clip was rough lol

[jade walrus]

There are always better enemies instead of everyone being equal skill

[jade walrus]

Makes it not fair

[obsidian wyvern]

you keep complaining about it but honestly, in the nicest way possible, just sounds like it's not a mode you're good at

yeah it's so bad

[pulsar cobalt]

Made a riot look with hazmat

[jade walrus]

I’m good when there aren’t a 12-sweat enemy team or 8-sweat

[obsidian wyvern]

you're good when there isn't 12 other competent players*

people who are better aren't 'sweats' bruh

[jade walrus]

Incorrect

[pulsar cobalt]

also did the same with this look with this helm and the default hazmat coating

[jade walrus]

You don’t know what matchmaking with sweats is like

[obsidian wyvern]

bruh

I'm well aware of what playing with good players is like

[jade walrus]

They literally are sweats, how is 50-100 kills not sweating

[obsidian wyvern]

no one is getting 100 kills in your lobby I promise you

50 kills just means they're really good or your team is really bad?

[jade walrus]

No one helps me improve, nobody on my team helps

I’m a lone wolf because everyone is ignorant and won’t help me improve

[obsidian wyvern]

btb isn't the greatest mode for learning how to deal with 1v1s if you're that annoyed by losing

[pulsar cobalt]

I would say FFA is probably best to learn halo

[jade walrus]

I’ve done multiple 1v1s, the problem is surrounding enemies and power-vehicle/weapon abusers

[obsidian wyvern]

grabbing power weapons/vehicles isn't abusing 😐

[jade walrus]

Yeah it is if you’re using it to destroy an entire team

Someone kept abusing the scorpion gun

It’s too powerful

[obsidian wyvern]

someone kept using the scorpion gun*

as they should

[jade walrus]

Shut

[obsidian wyvern]

it being too powerful is a different argument

[jade walrus]

They were abusing it

[obsidian wyvern]

your team has to play around it to secure it

your definition of abusing is wrong 🤷‍♂️

[jade walrus]

It wasn’t my team

[pulsar cobalt]

They had control that's not really abusing

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm saying you and your team needs to make sure you guys secure it

play around the weapon when it's about to spawn, hold that area

[jade walrus]

Your definition of good players is an overstatement

[bronze breach]

Dont play btb heavies if you cant stand people taking advantage of the most powerful stuff

[pulsar cobalt]

^ this

[obsidian wyvern]

Charlotte if I beat you with just the ravager or pulse carbine in a 1v1, would that make me a sweat lol

[jade walrus]

Trust me btb is worse

[bronze breach]

I am a notorious scorpion gun / tank / wasp camper

[pulsar cobalt]

Morbius the wasp camper

[bronze breach]

Facts

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I've seen him get hate messages for it lol

[bronze breach]

Too bad I play only firefight now

[jade walrus]

I’ve died so many times due to aggressive/sweaty players

[obsidian wyvern]

that happens in every mode

that doesn't make them sweaty, that's their play style

[jade walrus]

People sweat more in regular btb

[bronze breach]

Tell them to bring a towel then

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm gonna lose my mind

there's nothing wrong with admitting you're bad

[bronze breach]

I'll start.

[obsidian wyvern]

that mode isn't your thing, try anotherr

[jade walrus]

I’m gonna lose my brain because you’re not telling me how to improve, you literally are just “correcting” me and calling me bad

[bronze breach]

I'm terrible at btb and changed my play style to defensive and running away. Which made me remain positive in btb

[obsidian wyvern]

didn't you get a killionaire in btb mf

[bronze breach]

That was with the wasp

On oasis

[obsidian wyvern]

I gave 1 point with the power weapons did I not

[jade walrus]

Eh

[obsidian wyvern]

and that was the only time you mentioned something related to how you were playing in contrast to finding people being sweaty in your eyes

[obsidian wyvern]

a killionaire is a killionaire

[jade walrus]

I’m better in every other mode, therefore I’m not bad

[bold sparrow]

Additionally fueled by the need to get more points to get Hero eventually.

[obsidian wyvern]

that's why I specifically said btb

[bronze breach]

My tips: apart from camping at the wasp

• go with someone when pushing, don't go solo.
• run away if you get ganged up on
• use power weapons and shock

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm a lot worse in btb than other modes, I can admit that. some people are a lot better in there than 4v4 or whtv

[pulsar cobalt]

Get on mongoose and beep around the map 🤣

It looks like... We won a hockey World Cup! 😄

someone drove off the map

[bronze breach]

Not the one, it was the wasp map. Forgot its name lol

[obsidian wyvern]

[pulsar cobalt]

or you can be a traitor and try to get a enemy player on your turret and down your own team it's funny 😂

[bronze breach]

He wasn't great on driving and was auto booted. Poor guy

Nah that's not fun better to have a medal called traitor if enemy team get's on your turret and they gun down your team 💀

[obsidian wyvern]

oh I've driven an enemy on my turret straight to our base in CTF lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah i've done that also free flag caps for the enemy team 😂

[jade walrus]

There should be a medal, it’d be called nuclear damage, how you’d would get it is you bomb 10 people with the banshee

What’s the funniest way to play halo infinite

[bronze breach]

Jump on the enemy team razorbeck and enjoy the ride before they realize and self kill everyone for the sake of getting the kill

[cursive skiff]

This may be the day that breaks me from Halo Infinite. :/

[jade walrus]

One thing I don’t like is how every time that 343 adds new mode to halo infinite, it always messes with skill based matchmaking. Somehow it just does. First it happened with Bot Boot Camp. And then it happened with firefight and now it’s happening with survive the undead… why does this always happen?

[obsidian wyvern]

..wdym

[cursive skiff]

No clue. I've had two matches so far and I'm the only one that went 20+, everyone else? Under 10.

Highest I saw was in the first match... with 8.

[jade walrus]

Apparently the kills in those modes that I mentioned somehow and correlate to skill, even if it’s ai, I don’t even know why it does and I remember that they fixed it with firefight and I think it’s one of the reasons why they removed Bot Boot Camp.

[tribal kernel]

Just got back in to the game after a break since season 2, holy crap firefight is fun to play.

[obsidian wyvern]

they probably removed bot bootcamp for firefight

there was a bug where your bot bootcamp matches increased your MMR but that was like 3 yrs ago and got fixed iirc

and there's no way they do at this point

you're not getting placed with onyx players for 5k in firefight don't worry

jimbob is just built different

[grizzled gazelle]

TIL: Katee Sackhoff (Bo-Katan) was the voice of some marines in Halo 3

[jade walrus]

I’m pretty sure that used to happen when the firefight first got released but then fixed it the next update

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe, but that is def not the case right now

[jade walrus]

I wonder what the funniest way to get 100 to 0 is

[jade walrus]

For some reason STU increases overall skill level for matchmaking in general and because of this matchmaking has been messed up, yet again, all from the latest mode

[cursive skiff]

Really, really wish they'd let us set the max ping we'd like to have like on MCC.

[obsidian wyvern]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/471727594392256513/1079533887052591104/PetGrass.gif

[obsidian wyvern]

you can pick which servers you'd like to connect to in mcc

[cursive skiff]

Not on Halo Infinite though.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh like on mcc, my bad

[jade walrus]

Problem with that is that halo infinite is incredibly unstable in terms of servers on medium end PCs as well as low end, it’s only really stable on Xbox in high-end/expensive PCs

[obsidian wyvern]

why is everything you say so wrong

[cursive skiff]

Only time it was ever unstable was back when it first released and the servers were struggling. Been fine ever since.

[jade walrus]

I get 80-200 ms on a medium end pc

[obsidian wyvern]

that doesn't mean your pc is the problem

[cursive skiff]

It depends on how close to a server you are, not your PC.

[jade walrus]

True, but not exactly true at the same time because when I set it to local, I still have the same issue

[obsidian wyvern]

I used to get 1-8 ping on my Xbox one at launch, it isn't to do with how good your hardware is

[cursive skiff]

I'm on a i5-13600k and 3080 12GB and get 28 at my lowest with a 300 up/down speed. I was getting close to that on an older PC running a i7-9700k and a 1080ti

[jade walrus]

And as far as I’m aware, there’s no way to decrease ping

[obsidian wyvern]

move closer to the server, ez

[cursive skiff]

There is... by moving closer to the server.

Ping is how many times your PC has to send a single to PING the server and get a connection.

[bronze breach]

I did. I live in the server room now as I got a job as a janitor.

[fickle drift]

I'm stuck on Xbox being in the same bracket as a high end PC here.

[obsidian wyvern]

isn't ping a measure of latency

[jade walrus]

I use an i7-5544 and a 3060

[cursive skiff]

The lower the better, means it's close by and has little delay. The further away, the higher, which means you will see lag and have issues with getting kills due to delays.

[finite patrol]

I can get 0 ping in chivalry 2

[jade walrus]

I get horrible latency on PC

[cursive skiff]

You may wanna upgrade that CPU at some point.

[jade walrus]

Specifically in halo infinite

[fickle drift]

Is this like a blanket term as well, are Xbox One's getting more ping than Series consoles lol

In this hypothetical

[cursive skiff]

I think lowest I ever get on ping is 28 cuz I live in the middle of nowhere. On CoD, I rarely see 28-38, mainly 40+.

[jade walrus]

Oh yeah I’ve been trying to find one that’s good but then again I’ve also been thinking on getting a new PC because the 3060 is on the weaker end of graphics cards in the mid range

[haughty wraith]

Bro I just got a temp ban on infinite for nothing, game didn't even start, we just sat there for like 5 minutes in the intro sequence then I got banned for "unsporting behavior"

[obsidian wyvern]

3060 is considered mid range??

[haughty wraith]

Fix your game ffs

[jade walrus]

But then again, wouldn’t the storage clear if I get a new CPU

[cursive skiff]

No....

[fickle drift]

Baffled. Genuinely.

[cursive skiff]

Storage is it's own component. It isn't tied to your CPU or GPU.

[obsidian wyvern]

I've lost that gif of the knight banging his head

[jade walrus]

I was thinking it was because it’s part of the motherboard I think

[cursive skiff]

It is.

[jade walrus]

I think it ran away

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe

[fickle drift]

For my part, my 2070 is relatively consistent at like, 90-ish, but my ping goes anywhere from 80 to nearly 2k in that one game.

[haughty wraith]

@hybrid frigate whyd you send me a friend request

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-promethean-knight-promethean-knight-halo-knight-halo4-gif-26689148

[jade walrus]

Why is a 2070 more powerful than a 3060

[cursive skiff]

Your components work together, but they are not tied directly to one another. You can swap out your CPU/GPU/Motherboard, ect and keep your storage and everything will be there. Only thing you may have to do is reformat your OS drive cuz of the motherboard and CPU at the same time. I'm not 100% sure how that works, but I believe that is the case typically.

Your GPU isn't doing anything besides powering your display. It has 0 to do with ping.

[jade walrus]

What’s the weirdest way to improve in halo infinite?

[obsidian wyvern]

weren't you told your CPU was a bottleneck for the 3060 a while ago

[fickle drift]

It isn't, I think you're just confusing individual performance with server connection.

I play with folk from different parts of the world, my ping is all over the place as a result. that 2k one was an anomoly tbf

[obsidian wyvern]

that 2k one was wild

[jade walrus]

I don’t really remember

[cursive skiff]

The only thing on your PC that may even be hampering your internet connection is your ethernet port on your motherboard. Damage can cause that, an older board can also have a worse net card and can't handle whatever speeds you have.

[obsidian wyvern]

I think it was recon talking to you, should honestly listen to his advice if you go back to the messages

[obsidian wyvern]

I can't remember if icky was there, but even then, it should've been like 150 max

[cursive skiff]

Honestly, Charlotte, I'd look into getting a new motherboard/CPU, that GPU is not terrible. It is a lower end card compared to the 4000 series, but it is a very good 1080p card and I think may handle 1440p on low settings.

[ocean herald]

Just open a browser window and run a speed test to see if you’re getting the speeds you’re paying for

[cursive skiff]

That CPU is going to bottleneck and cause more issues for you than your GPU would. If you get a new PC, you can even keep that 3060 and be fine for a while.

[fickle drift]

iirc it was just you me and Va, so it shouldn't have been anywhere near that bad.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah we're all EU lol

[fickle drift]

I think the Server just got a mirgraine or something.

[queen remnant]

That's because I wasn't there

[cursive skiff]

It just went "nope, you guys can't play"

[bronze breach]

Where is stckr. Is he on vacation?

[fickle drift]

He's absent for personal reasons atm.

[obsidian wyvern]

I did mention that earlier today, hasn't been here for over a week

[bronze breach]

Ahh.

[bold sparrow]

Wonder if thats why I was always getting ~5 when I last checked.

Im within walking distance of 343. Unless the servers are off-site somehwere else

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm in London so I'm like sitting on top of a server

[jade walrus]

Would i7-12700 be good?

[cursive skiff]

Much, much better than what you have, make sure it works with your motherboard.

[fickle drift]

Then get off it, that's probably what's affecting folk's connection.

[cedar turret]

I'd be worried if they're going to make it to all the other tables. Either way it's a good way to get banned from a restaurant

[cursive skiff]

?

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm why we got 2k ping, mb

[cursive skiff]

Think I seen a ping that high during the OG Yappening event.

[hybrid frigate]

Just doin a socialising

[cedar turret]

If you set on the server how are they going to keep people’s water topped off

It’s just rude

[cursive skiff]

Omg. XD

[jade walrus]

nvm my pc uses the i5-5560

so yeah I def need to upgrade

[cursive skiff]

Yeah, your card is fine but that CPU is bottlenecking your GPU majorly.

[hybrid frigate]

Hiya people

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/43550/intel-core-i5-660-processor-4m-cache-3-33-ghz.html

Will that fit in my tandy 1000?

[elfin glacier]

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

Bus Interface
PCIe 4.0 x16

[elfin glacier]

16 lanes of pcie 2.0

[cedar turret]

I think I need a new modem for it since I don't have a landline these days

[elfin glacier]

the way it's MEANT to be played

I'd never even touch that. Dx

[elfin glacier]

wait

i'm looking at the wrong one
I blame search engines

[jade walrus]

weaker than what I have rn

[elfin glacier]

cant find it

[jade walrus]

is the cpu also making my fps lower? because I get stuttering when I have 165 fps on a 165 hz monitor

[jade walrus]

i5-6600K

[elfin glacier]

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/88191/intel-core-i5-6600k-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-90-ghz.html
here we go

[jade walrus]

that's my cpu rn

[elfin glacier]

pcie3 is less of a bottleneck than 2 but still a bottleneck

[cursive skiff]

Yes. Bottlenecked GPUs are affected by CPU and even RAM speeds. Make sure you balance it out for whatever you want, if it's 1080p, make sure it wont bottle neck with your RAM, CPU and GPU combo.

Charlotte, your GPU is getting bottlenecked by roughly 30% with that GPU/CPU combo.

That's likely a lot of your issues is simply your CPU. Once you get a new motherboard, CPU and RAM, you'll be fine. 🙂

[jade walrus]

in the meanwhile i'm stuck playing infinite on xbox with mkb until I get a new cpu

[cursive skiff]

Yeah, even with that combo on 1440p, it's still bottlenecked by roughly 23%. Time to upgrade a good portion of your PC. The GPU is fine, you can easily use that still, so can keep it and have it cleaned out.

[jade walrus]

the i9-9900 is compatable with my motherboard, so that crosses off motherboard

[cursive skiff]

Much better choice.

Even if you get a 9900k or KF version, you'd be fine!

Your motherboard should be able to handle one of those two as well. I'd double check but yeah. 😄

[amber mirage]

I still recommend getting the the most recent CPU, rather than a few year old model to delay the need for an upgrade as long as possible.

[cursive skiff]

It depends on how much they got to spend.

A new motherboard and CPU combo can cost 600-700 depending on brands, ect.

So upgrading a CPU, keeping their motherboard and getting better RAM can work just fine for a while.

[amber mirage]

Yeah. It's more long term advice, though. Rather than spending a moderate amount now, and a moderate amount in a few years, spend a higher amount now to ultimately save some money.

[jade walrus]

the 9900 costs 400 + tax

saving more would make me upgrade longer

[cursive skiff]

Uh, yeah you may be best off getting a new CPU/motherboard combo cuz a 13600k is like 300ish. Can pick up an MSI board for around that price that works for the GPU

[amber mirage]

Yeah. 400 for a five year old CPU is not worth it

[jade walrus]

eh it's much better than the one I have now

[amber mirage]

For not much more, you can get an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which is considered the best gaming CPU right now.

[jade walrus]

plus it's an i9, so it's much newer

[amber mirage]

i9 doesn't have anything to do with age

There's a new i9 every year

i9 is just the highest grade for Intel consumer CPUs

[hybrid frigate]

Helloo

[cursive skiff]

For 513, you can get a 13600k, a MSI Pro Z680-A and G.Skill Trident Z5 32GB of 6400

I'd honestly consider getting a new CPU, motherboard and RAM if that GPU is 400 and that old. It'd honestly save you and you can even upgrade your GPU in a year or two and have a 4000 or even lower end 5000 series on that same PC.

[jade walrus]

are those compatable with the 3060

[quiet warren]

my buid is a 4060 with a ryzen 5 5600 and 16gb of ram

[smoky token]

anything with a PCIe port is compatible with the 3060

[jade walrus]

did some research and its compatible

and i'm definitely saving for the 4000-series graphics card once I get these components (i'm saving up for them)

[amber mirage]

Personally, I'd recommend skipping at least one generation before upgrading your GPU. The gains you'd get aren't usually worth the price.

[jade walrus]

does anyone have tips to get good at strafing with kbm with btb

[obsidian wyvern]

you just strafe like you usually would

[jade walrus]

Feels different because everyone is so speedy

[obsidian wyvern]

strafe speed is quite high in this game tbf yeah

[neat pumice]

Walk left a bit, then walk right a bit

Maybe crouch a lil every now and then

[jade walrus]

It’s like those gifs of cats spinning on a record player

[quiet warren]

y is launchsite map not in matchmaking anymore

[dawn cradle]

Guys if I buy MCC for my Xbox, do I need a subscription to play online matches?
I'll wait

[quiet warren]

im not sure how it works now since they got rid of gold and replaced it with game pass core

but i believe u do

[dawn cradle]

Bruh

Thx for letting me know

[floral pollen]

As far as I know you shouldn't, but I also play PC so I'm not 100% on that

[quiet warren]

I love skittles

[neat pumice]

Anyone else cant sleep unless they got BFG Division on in the background?

[obsidian wyvern]

my head legitimately hurts listening to that with headphones

[neat pumice]

Yeah, you still need gamepass core to play online multiplayer

[obsidian wyvern]

^

[neat pumice]

Full volume, Doom BFG division at almost 1 in the morning

[dawn cradle]

....

[neat pumice]

Headphones ofc, not gonna annoy my neighbours too much

[obsidian wyvern]

if the game isn't free to play, you need to pay to play online

[dawn cradle]

Goodpoint

[dawn cradle]

Bruh

Halo infinite tho
U dont need to pay

[obsidian wyvern]

because it's multiplayer is free to play

[dawn cradle]

Oooooooooooooh

Why tf am i playing on Xbox then?
Should get a pc

[hardy echo]

Wort wort wort

[dawn cradle]

Tru

Arbiter's scream in halo 2 tho

[hardy echo]

“Urrghhh”💀

[neat pumice]

Yeah, Xbox's subscriptions are really weird

Im stuck with xbox tho cuz I've sank too much money into it

[severe locust]

You have to pay for multi-player if the game itself costs money

[neat pumice]

Thats stupid, id argue that you should have to pay for the free ones, instead of havin to pay more for the games you already sank about £60 into just gettin it

[severe locust]

Stupid for paying for multi-player at all

[neat pumice]

Especially considering the fact game prices are going up rapidly if you go for the triple - A studios

[neat pumice]

Yeah, but companies need their money

[fair rover]

Yeah Star Wars Outlaws launch price packages are ridonculous pricing

[neat pumice]

Or our money

[severe locust]

It's ubisoft now, cmon

[neat pumice]

And the new Assassins creed game

No real gameplay out and yet they already let you pre-order for over £100

[severe locust]

But you can get an exclusive mission for those that pre-order right now

[neat pumice]

£100 is the price of most modern games, but then most of the game is cut content

[fair rover]

They can make the subscription fees worthwhile with ongoing content and perks. I haven't played Helldivers but I hear the live service is done very well

[neat pumice]

Or content that is overhyped

[neat pumice]

Yeah, people seem to love it, too bad it ain't on xbox though

Looks like xbox is a dying platform :/

[severe locust]

Management won't get their act together

[fair rover]

It literally is right? Didn't they announce they aren't making any more and Microsoft will be making games for PC and Playstation

[neat pumice]

Yeah, closing studios like they aint just removing people from their jobs that were supposed to be secure as they're backed by a multi-billion dollar company

[severe locust]

They barely spent a dime marketing their latest title. I don't even know what the game is called I forgot

[neat pumice]

They'll still make consoles probably, gotta beat the cash-cow to death now

Anyway, ima go sleep, tired as hell and got some coding project to do for college

[fair rover]

Ah, I see now that was just speculations

[neat pumice]

Yeah, they were speculations cuz a couple xbox games are goin to PlayStation supposedly

[candid solar]

Hey who here loves the Mark Vb default helmet

[neat pumice]

I don't trust the internet people anymore, so everything is alleged

[neat pumice]

Its good

Anyway, gotta sleep, cya guys

[pulsar cobalt]

I love it but it unfortunately never got it's brim

@normal owl she loved the headphones!

the first song she played on them was Skibidi Toilet. I swear to god lol

[lapis ivy]

Oh Jesus Christ please tell me that glitch isn't still going on in forge where my buildings fall apart for no apparent reason?

[slim nymph]

whats yall favorite halo game

im curious cuz my favorite is definitely halo reach but a lot of people say that halo 2 or 3 gotta be the best

[normal owl]

That's awesome! Great Dad Moment Did you get to try them too?

[lapis ivy]

Well I fixed the building at last lol

[vale pond]

So, did Bungie make the halo 3 announcement trailer, or did they outsourced a studio to make it?

[harsh tide]

halo3?

[quiet warren]

??

[wicked whale]

servers just went down smh

[queen veldt]

Servers just go down?

[covert dove]

Yeah the servers just crashed

[granite sky]

for me also

[queen veldt]

🤦‍♂️

Finished a match and couldn’t star a new one

[covert dove]

Ok they are back up

[queen veldt]

Yep I can start match again

Let’s get it

[granite sky]

its not quite recovered yet for me i cant select my forge map. edit now its ok? for now.....

[covert dove]

Yeah it just crashed again. Dang 😔

[granite sky]

🪦

[short storm]

is it just infinite multiplayer thats down?

[tepid prawn]

I thought i was tripping because my internets been acting up lately so I thought it was just that

but nvm

[lapis ivy]

Have you experienced that issue with your buildings falling apart for no reason in forge I had one earlier but I fixed it @granite sky

[short storm]

mcc servers are still up at least

[granite sky]

yes i noticed some building objects moving that i've had to re-adjust. fortunately not large scale for my maps yet. just some set pieces broke apart that ive had to replace

[tepid prawn]

has halo support said anything?

[marble ether]

Anyone else? Experiencing reeally long wait times for ranked arena right now?

[granite sky]

servers are in a troublesome state rn, most are prob disconnected

[queen veldt]

Down again

[marble ether]

I need to play!

[thick nest]

Me to😂

[silver path]

lost 15 CSR cuz the servers dropped mid game

[simple prawn]

Buy more cosmetics and make more forge maps for 343 and they will turn the servers back on

[marble ether]

Error occurred while searching for players

[unique vigil]

Keep making all the content for them because they don't know how

Ubisoft servers are better than this

[simple prawn]

They can't even run a server. Let alone a game. I hope this is the last halo by 343

[unique vigil]

I took a break from infinite for about 5-6 months

Can't even play because it's always broken

[queen veldt]

343 isn’t going to sell halo to someone else.. they make to much money from it

[simple prawn]

Microsoft own halo. They can get a new dev

[queen veldt]

Bungie never should have sold it to 343.. bungie was legit

[unique vigil]

The only thing Microsoft is good at doing is closing down studios

[simple prawn]

Bungie didn't sell it ms had the rights

But Bungie is a train wreck right now too

[unique vigil]

Give halo to ArrowHead at this point

[cunning pewter]

Every Sunday, I’m getting tired bro

[lapis ivy]

I say the same lol

[granite sky]

i wonder if they're trying secret server maintenance on sundays

[simple prawn]

Joe Bidens team gotta be running this game

[hexed geyser]

i remember deciding a nickname for the halo games for my 6 y/o bro, i decided to call it Future army Man for him cuz he might not understand the lore ( why the halo rings are there

[fair glen]

heh, ubisoft xD

that's a meme

[daring kiln]

Anyone else experiencing server issues?

[fair glen]

yeah i cant connect

[wicked whale]

@dreamy stirrup The multiplayer servers for PC/Steam are having connection issues

[queen veldt]

Servers are down yes

[agile jackal]

Yep. Me too

[fair glen]

bungie isn't even the same team that made Halo, the devs are either part of 343i or have gone on to other games or left the gaming industry all together

[hexed geyser]

server's ddown for which game

[queen veldt]

Halo

[wicked whale]

Halo

[hexed geyser]

no which halo game

[fair glen]

Infinite

[queen veldt]

I means we are kinda in halo discord server after all

[wicked whale]

Definitely Halo

[grave moat]

I need a mod

[simple prawn]

Lol sensitive mods offended by sleepy Joe comment

[wicked whale]

eepy joe

[queen veldt]

Apparently his name is prohibited lol

[daring kiln]

I really wanna know how i can see some games in the cgb, but it says im offline and i cant join

[queen veldt]

Bc 343 is trash and can’t do anything right

[fair glen]

okay boomer

[granite sky]

it's ok it's a widespread issue. who knows, perhaps those games may not actually exist, maybe just the server acting up in such a way

[simple prawn]

Blood raven wasn't around when games launched complete. Chomping on tide pods

@fair glen

[quiet warren]

will we ever get a halo wars 3

[simple prawn]

@quiet warren yes in forge. No more new content unless it is community created. Per 343

Even mm is all community maps. It's kinda sad

[quiet warren]

so 343 just basically moving on to a new halo gamr?

game

[simple prawn]

I hope not. 343 needs to stick with candy crush type games

[fair glen]

heh, okay kid, whatever helps you feel secured in life

[quiet warren]

somebody else needs to pick up the halo rights

[wary cedar]

🙋

[hollow void]

Me

I will sell the IP to EA

[wary cedar]

gross

[quiet warren]

only thing 343 did right was MCC

[simple prawn]

Mcc was so bad at launch they lost the community

[hollow void]

Halo on the frostbite engine

[quiet warren]

if EA makes halo i will crawl on broken glass

[hollow void]

If Amazon had rights to the Halo show it would've been so much better

[hollow void]

I mean they have great campaigns their games

[granite sky]

infinite is pretty good right now especially the forge! i made a couple maps i never did that in older games bc there is so much to do

[wary cedar]

The Halo show wasn't terrible but I feel like it would have performed just as good if not better if it was fully cannon.

[quiet warren]

i didnt think the show was thatbad but thats my opinion

[hollow void]

Especially the Star Wars games have good stories, same as BF3 and 5

And 1

[wary cedar]

@granite sky the forge is absolutely breathtaking, the scripting has many features that need work still though....

[hollow void]

I agree

[quiet warren]

imgagine in forge they make a raid mode

[hollow void]

If Fallout could do it...

Why couldn't Halo

[granite sky]

i recommend the PvE "Raid" maps, a team of forgers have made very good ones. They are a trilogy right now and searchable in the waypoint content browser:

• Raid: Entombed Sanctum
• Raid: Foundry of Scoria
• Raid: Cascading Winter

big, challenging maps that require a large fireteam, best for a 24 player lobby. Make sure you play them with their accompanied mode. I've made the "Campaign Op" trilogy (in my profile) but those Raid maps are still peak! I recommend them to all

[swift belfry]

can i post fanart here?

[granite sky]

yes! in https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1076327824924872755

Hello

[signal wedge]

We already saw the Harbinger in Infinite

and she was defeated

tought maybe Atriox would find a way to free them. And I want the endless to actually fight the banished

[urban bronze]

nevermind restarting the game fixed the issue lol

[dapper rivet]

Aging is your biggest fear when your mom sees u she sheds a tear

Born on the wrong format 3,2 same hight as the lorax everyone uses u as a doormat

[forest lagoon]

What do you mean by uncommon?

[glass tangle]

do many people not use it for mnk

[forest lagoon]

It was a recent feature that you could turn off so there's still probably a high majority still using it by default

[glass tangle]

that explains it, i havent played for 2 years and im getting stomped on

then i saw in the settings that there was aim assist for mnk as well

[forest lagoon]

I mean, a small part of that could be you haven't played in a while

[glass tangle]

ya, broke my hand too and then eft died while it was healing lol

this was the first fps i have been able to play

[forest lagoon]

Ouch!

Mando in Mjolnir would be cool

[meager linden]

Did someone ping me?

[neat pumice]

Yeah, I did, I was responding to the trailer thing you found saying that if 343 made a trailer and it got out, people would be on it like flies to fecal matter

[signal wedge]

yeah dude it's weird that 💩 btw the name of this emoji

[neat pumice]

This is one heavily moderated server

[signal wedge]

[rare cedar]

If you have a problem with it then you can leave 🙂

Nah, I just find it funny that a word is censored that everyone used when they were like 4 years old

[harsh dust]

Pood?

yall should ban butts too

[graceful root]

343 stinky monkeys

[winter flame]

[winter flame]

[harsh dust]

Yeah for the last 15 years

because Halo

[neat pumice]

For the good halo games?

[harsh dust]

DOnt ask dumb questions

[winter flame]

[latent sequoia]

[harsh dust]

Good 4 them>

[winter flame]

[harsh dust]

Yeah your moms house

[graceful root]

[neat pumice]

Never said I hated the company, just said they've pumped out some real stinkers

[latent sequoia]

mfs mad

[harsh dust]

Dont be a shill

[neat pumice]

Man, he doesnt know opinions exist

[graceful root]

bro your glazing 343 by calling them not hated company

[harsh dust]

The only opinion is that Halo 3 is cooler than your uncle that gave you beer for the first time

[winter flame]

I criticise 343 all the time lol. y'all are just crying about a filter designed to get rid of the low quality nonsense you're demonstrating rn

[neat pumice]

No, I'm saying I don't hate them, I'm not glazing them, I just think their games have been lower quality than what is expected by Halo

[winter flame]

be sure to make a reddit post about how draconian this place is lol

[harsh dust]

The low auality nonsense created you bro

[neat pumice]

Dont have reddit lmao

Place is hell incarnate

[winter flame]

you'd be right at home

9 June guys Halo 7 trailer???

[craggy hare]

Lol

Wait

[neat pumice]

Maybe in 2027

[craggy hare]

That's not real right?

[neat pumice]

Probably not

Maybe the 32nd of July we might get somethin

[craggy hare]

Lol

[signal wedge]

Master Cheeks and his new AI girlfriend continue their fight on Zeta Halo.

[craggy hare]

I can't even

Master cheeks, demon buns

[signal wedge]

meanwhile on Sanghelios...

Vale and Arbiter are on a date

[neat pumice]

And then the coveNOT come

[craggy hare]

Arbiter needed that

[neat pumice]

They look like the covenant, they talk like the covenant, but they're in Halo 5 so they aren't the covenant

[craggy hare]

Imagine an existance before infinite

Smh

[burnt hawk]

Sorry for the maybe stupid question but the battle pass switcher, if I want to change the active battle pass for the previous ones I have to pay real money?

[craggy hare]

No

If you want the premium pass then that will cost money

[winter flame]

they're not, only the Winter Pass is free. Past passes are paywalled.

can only progress the current pass and the Winter Pass

[burnt hawk]

So heroes from reach I have to pay to access that pass?

[craggy hare]

I don't think so no

[winter flame]

other then the current pass and Winter Pass, every pass is paid

[burnt hawk]

Oh well okay why is only the winter pass free?

[winter flame]

2, 3, 4, and 5 give you the credits backs though

the Winter Pass was a free permanent pass, the rest have only had a free track while they're the current pass

[burnt hawk]

Okay thanks for the info and clarification

[winter flame]

the reason is basically so there isn't endless free stuff to unlock for new players, but there's always free stuff to unlock each season/operation for free players

[burnt hawk]

Makes sense I guess

I dont have time enough to complete the current pass anyways but was just wondering

[meager linden]

Dead chat

Good morning everybody!!!
