[normal owl]

on a hand, I'm guessing, as a mitten

[dreamy stirrup]

devs getting a plaque celebrating putting the final game on PC does not equate "end of life"

[candid solar]

I think everyone involved should try a PPC just to calm down.

[dreamy stirrup]

i have that same plaque here.

[junior horizon]

hello

[fleet pumice]

Just came to hope MCC can be revived, was cool and still is.

[normal owl]

Now those I'm down with!

[jolly willow]

And yet the game has had updates since that post.
Carry on.

[dreamy stirrup]

turn off the pings please.

[candid solar]

Actually, you ever see that one guy who tries booze try to drink everclear?

[dreamy stirrup]

lol

oh no

oh noooooooooo

bad trench

bad words

[bronze breach]

👍

[candid solar]

Wait, that one's not allowed?

[trim saddle]

ruh roh

[candid tusk]

MCC is revived every match we play on it. You carry the torch with you in every game you play. Be the change, invite your friends to play with you. Invite new friends to play with you, bring the light of Halo into their lives.

[fleet pumice]

In terms of the nameplates commemorating occassions like earth day, those technically are updates, but many sources confirmed july 2023 as the time 343 ceased any bigger updates for the master chief collection, if the rumor is true, that'd suck, I was hoping xbox got mod support similar to fallout 4 and skyrim at least.

[normal owl]

just spell it b00ze instead, inside tip.

[dreamy stirrup]

i asked you to stop.

[candid solar]

Huh. I thought because damn was... Ah well, fair enough. Sorry.

[fleet pumice]

I stopped pinging as you said, you could tell me to stop discussing if that was your intent

[candid solar]

Anyways, the review I linked was kinda funny.

[bronze breach]

What's with spam bots here lately. People account getting hacked?

[normal owl]

I cannot even imagine. I remember having 151 for the first time and thinking that was as high as I'd ever want to go.

[candid solar]

I've... Only tried Everclear once. I do not actually desire trying it again.

[dreamy stirrup]

sorry, had to deal with something.

would also remind you that this is a family friendly server and we should hbe mindful about things we're sharing 🙂

[normal owl]

oh, and Albanian moonshine

[candid tusk]

Every day. One of these days it could be you. Keep 2FA on and always be wary of links and DMs.

[candid solar]

Fair enough!

[bronze breach]

RIP.

[candid solar]

Nowadays I stick to seltzers for the most part, and usually only once or twice a week.

[dreamy stirrup]

i've literally tweeted about this and people were shocked pikachu https://x.com/snickerdoodle/status/1734661949550370825

[analog knot]

Now back to the important topic - these birds (Golden Moas) I'm trying to hunt

[candid solar]

The only scam that would work on me is free Battletech minis.

Or paint.

[normal owl]

hopefully shocked that anyone would even click on one.

[candid solar]

Always need more paint. Trenchy wants to paint their Kuritans red and they currently have precisely zero of the right shades.

[candid tusk]

"I thought she was really into me, I thought we had something going there."

[junior horizon]

but links are really exciting!!

[normal owl]

They are! But are they worth $300?
https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/great-deku-tree-2-in-1-77092

[bronze breach]

Sus link

[candid solar]

Ugh. I saw that and my wallet threw up.

I'm glad I'm not a diehard LoZ fan.

[junior horizon]

considering how long its been since i've played with lego, yep

[bronze breach]

Click that and your wallet is gone! Haha

[junior horizon]

jokes on you!! There never was a wallet in the 1st place

[bronze breach]

[junior horizon]

sobs

[amber mirage]

That's actually an error in the title. It's actually a link for a $300 Battletech set.

[dreamy stirrup]

this might get me

i don't know

on the fence

[junior horizon]

i lost my wallet to halo infinite cosmetics. I'D SAY IT'S WORTH IT

[normal owl]

Yeah I would be doing some soul-searching if I was a diehard Zelda fan. Lego's IP sets are very iconic.

[candid tusk]

Brick prices are too darn high.

[candid solar]

I actually spent about $350 on the last Battletech kickstarter and I'm supposed to be getting over 100 minis next month.

My roommate is currently terrified.

[candid tusk]

Does it play like Warhammer?

[trim saddle]

can i pick anyones brain that knows a decent amount about forge?

[candid solar]

Uh, like 40K Kill Team, but with more bookkeeping and location damage.

[normal owl]

Well if you would ever look and wish you'd gotten it, Lego's first run of any new IP set is usually the most iconic and capturing the IP's essence.

[dreamy stirrup]

oh oh oh!

[candid tusk]

The folks in #forge-chat might be helpful.

[candid solar]

So you can shoot a dude's arm off or blow up his engine.

[dreamy stirrup]

@trim saddle check out #1231006559539036233

or #forge-chat

😄

[trim saddle]

oh yeah those are more speficied channels for such a thing, thank you.

[quiet warren]

Come on please start letting me send pics to the chat 😭😭😭😭

[obsidian wyvern]

doesn't work 50% of the time for me

[candid solar]

Plus, IMO, Battletech has harder and more intricate paint schemes than Warhammer 40K, so you'll run into cooler unit livery. (Not mine)

[normal owl]

That's no joke a great return!

[trim saddle]

gotta earn that ability.

[analog knot]

Yeah I gave up years ago when typing in chat was the same way. At least that one works consistently now 😄

[candid solar]

It figures to about... What, $3.5 a mini or so?

[trim saddle]

be kind, please rewind.

[normal owl]

Hold fast brother, we await the day for you!

[candid tusk]

That looks rad. What size armies do people usually play with? Match lengths ~1-3 hours?

[candid solar]

Not counting the shirt, dice, game boards, posters, etc

[normal owl]

You have to wear a shirt to play? Or you mean merch. I have zero Battletech knowledge.

I'll call it BT to seem in-the-know.

[candid solar]

Like 2-24 units you can proxy with pocket change and a pen if you want. Games usually last 1-12 hours depending on player knowledge and game tech level.

[quiet warren]

Has anybody ever made a left 4 dead map on forge??

[candid tusk]

Ever? Probably.

[candid solar]

Battletech's rules can scale anywhere from two dudes having a bar fight in some seedy periphery world den to literally trying to organize a massive army invasion on multiple worlds concurrently, but the primary rule set is focused around two to eight guys in mechs fighting eachother.

[candid solar]

Just merch for merch's sake.

[trim saddle]

a left 4 dead style zombie map on infinite would be really nice, i wonder if the forge falcons are working on something like that

[normal owl]

This whole tabletop world is something I've totally missed. I do enjoy Risk: Lord of the Rings Edition, so I assume I'd like tabletop games. But the time investment...

[candid tusk]

Would be a big map to detail up. Even crazier if it could be proc. genned somehow.

[candid solar]

IMO, it's one of the single best types of hobbies to be into. It gets you into painting, worldbuilding, writing, all sorts of stuff.

[normal owl]

Isn't Back 4 Blood essentially Left 4 Dead?

[granite sky]

Also make sure voice chat is not set to squad or something, use all or team

[normal owl]

That actually sounds like a really successful way to fulfill the promise of "build/customize this, then play with it!" of other toys: a deep meaningful Play part of the equation.

[trim saddle]

yes, its same game same people, just named different cuz someone else bought the name.

[candid solar]

More or less, yeah

[candid solar]

Well, B4B does have a lot of extra bits. Character-specific perks, difficulty/option cards, etc etc

[trim saddle]

i could have inaccurate info though.

[candid solar]

I thought it was interesting but kind of boring in execution.

[granite sky]

Yeah I have seen them, I'd link but waypoint content browser servers have been down for a strangely long time

[candid solar]

But then, I never found L4D riveting

IMO the best 'L4D clones' on the modern market are the Vermintide and Darktide games

Not even a contest

[granite sky]

Those r fun games I may install darktide again

[meager linden]

It's impossible to get
Sadly
It's like a wheel of fortune

[bronze breach]

Took me 5 years to get it.

[granite sky]

I like the vet class just pouring lead

Plasma gun is fun too

[amber mirage]

I don't think Vets should be using lead to treat their animal patients

[granite sky]

I get it...I did a heh

Is there a heh emoji

[meager linden]

If I do not die faster lol
I'll get it too in one day

[urban bronze]

day 4 of me typing in here everyday until I get some kinda promotion

some guys said "death to taxes" and his message didnt get banned

[hollow flare]

someone report this guy

[craggy geode]

Do we still get to purchase stuff off the exchange even after the shop has switched?

[urban bronze]

but I talk about no scoping someone and get a full report

[bronze breach]

I reported him.

[candid solar]

Taxes are inevitable, not political

[cedar turret]

Move on

[craggy geode]

Like with void ultra, you can still buy it even thoguh its not in the store

Can you do the same in the exchange?

[urban bronze]

[candid solar]

So personally, I think the best GEN2 armor is Seeker.

[bronze breach]

finding it a bit funny dozen, but you right.. back to whatever i was doing.

is there a stream going on rn

here is a bit quiet today

[candid solar]

I think Master Chief should wear GEN2 Seeker in the next Halo game, considering it's better than his Mark VI GEN3 in every way.

Just close your eyes and change the sliders at random

I think it’ll become a item in the armor bundle shop but bought with creddits

That’s what I’ve been told.

Shame stuffed shells sound nice

mmmmm

the mini version of my favorite food ever

But that's not a picture of your Infinite armor setup

most stuff im seeing is just realistic triple-a slop

hey at least theres silent hill

[covert dove]

Common sony L, there was like nothing

If only hell divers got some announcement to come to Xbox 😔

[left bone]

if bloodborne 2 is announced, im gonna faint

[fickle drift]

It wasn’t. Nor a port of the first game.

[covert dove]

It ended a bit ago

[left bone]

what wasnt?

[fickle drift]

Ragnarok on PC though, predictably. Need to work around to finishing the first game now.

huh?

silenthill2 remake

looks bad ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::((((((((((((

did you fell asleep on your keyboard or something?

lol

One minute this person is hyping it up and posting it everywhere

[left bone]

wdym

[bronze breach]

And now he's saying it looks bad

I mean the combat looked a bit stiff but I didn’t think that was the focus of that game anyway

[brave igloo]

i stopped watching

[brave igloo]

i expected more from konami

[fickle drift]

Why lmao

[brave igloo]

animations trash performance it stuttered

not ready for 2024 release

[bronze breach]

Next time dont hype yourself about things, then you wont get disappointed :p

[granite sky]

no u

[brave igloo]

voice acting bad faces bad

[left bone]

hot tip: dont expect anything for game announcements

i rather be surprised by something that i dont know of instead of lookin thru rumors on twitter 24//7

[brave igloo]

but it is silent hill 2 remake you know billions of people were waiting for this moment

[left bone]

billions? you mean the earth's population?

now you're just exaggeratin

[bronze breach]

Just sped watched the teaser. It looks quite good, polished no, but good enough for a reveal

[left bone]

anyways

ASTRO BOT > silent hill 2

[left bone]

its not that bad to look at really

i played games that looked worse and still had a good time

[brave igloo]

its not the looks

its animationcs combat voice acting performance

[left bone]

bro calm down
its just a trailer

[bronze breach]

That why typically every game reveal says this is pre game footage and not final.

Even if it's not directly stated. Assume that. Because closer to production they will polish the game

[left bone]

people dont read the thin lines

[bronze breach]

Sadly

[left bone]

and that's a problem

[brave igloo]

well I hope so otherwise konami will lose the trusts of billions of people

[bronze breach]

Yeah I'm still waiting for the animals from the pre game halo infinite trailer

[fickle drift]

You can tone down the hyperbole a bit methinks.

On that note I didn’t think Konami were exactly in anyone’s good graces anyway, given past releases / treatment of their IP.

[left bone]

no rhino = me sad

[fickle drift]

Some games look better at launch others look worse, best to just reserve judgement until there’s a final build out there in people’s hands.

[bronze breach]

Looks like 15 is facing the classic monsters already in the comics.

[left bone]

ugh

[bronze breach]

Would have thought they would delay it until season 2.

[fickle drift]

WAHH WHO CARES ITS A STUPID ANIMAL. all i care about ist hat the game is fun

[bronze breach]

Hey I dont even play the matches because I am too mesmerized with the environment!

[left bone]

man

when the hex is sony ever gonna stop makin remakes and remasters?

[fickle drift]

sony sucks. xbox and pc for life

[left bone]

at this point they might make their next console called remakestation6

[crude onyx]

If Halo 7 is open world maybe we'll get them there lol

[left bone]

open world?

please.

[crude onyx]

open world in the same vein as Infinte so I guess hub based like the outer worlds

[bronze breach]

Destiny level halo pls for real

[crude onyx]

Nah givem to me lol. Remake Resident evil 5 and 6 so that I can complete the collection

[kind rover]

If halo 7 is open word I want to see like deserts, snowy areas swamps and other areas

[left bone]

better throw out the 70$ for each game then lol

[crude onyx]

I can wait for the sales lol I just bought RE 2, and 3 remake like a month ago.

[crude onyx]

At this point with Halo im just done with the "I wanna see" expectations because my expectation for 343 is so low at this point.

Halo infinite a AAA game managed to somehow feel more shallow than the Outer Worlds a AA game lol

[left bone]

halo tubers hyping up the xbox showcase whatever-you-call it thing

saying that "ohh ohh the next halo gaem is gonna be on mobile!"

"wait no- its gonna be da new halo gaem guyz, trust me!"

[quartz geyser]

is it even possible to get achievements done anymore in mcc for halo 2 anniversary? Specifically looking at the multiplayers one. It seems like finding a match is impossible

[crude onyx]

Im hyped for it because I always enjoy these game showcases, but yea Black Ops 6 is the only game in the show that im looking forward to.

[left bone]

another call of duty game

i snore

[crude onyx]

I havent played a CoD game since 2019 but Xdefiant has reignited my interest for one. Plus im a huge Zombies fan so that alone is enough for me.

That doesnt mean that im going to 100% buy it, but this is the most interest that ive had for one in years

[normal owl]

Zombies day one on Xbox Game Pass is insane. I'm excited!

[crude onyx]

Im excited for the lore. With Zombies being set in the same timeline and world as the Singleplayer now, I wonder how and if they're going to implement Woods into the Zombie story.

[normal owl]

We ain't out of the Woods yet! 🌲

[crude onyx]

Woods gonna just come in blasting and assert his gigachad energy over everyone and im here for it.

[left bone]

i wonder wut xbox is gonna show for da summer games fest and its showcase

prob something ill never expect

[severe locust]

im really hoping for something halo related but probably not the case

[left bone]

yeahh theyll prob show a game about a unicorn with guns

[normal owl]

That would be rad actually lol

[left bone]

xbox's #1 seller

[normal owl]

"Rest in Sparkles"

[left bone]

itll get 1 million copies sold on the first day

[normal owl]

voiced by Keith David

[finite patrol]

Probably announce a new gears game for mobile, truly a Diablo immortal moment

[crude onyx]

Probably some indie game. They're going to be showing Avowed news in the showcase coming up so they probably wont show it at the summer games fest

Or maybe its the 2 Fallout games that are being worked on that we dont know about

[bold sail]

I keep getting games in 2A since during peak hours in 4v4 I find them.

[forest fulcrum]

Best thing in halo, rat.

[left bone]

i remember when sony announced their splatoon ripoff game (foamstars)

it fell off hard as it was supposed to

i was like

"this isnt splatoon 3, what is this?"

[normal owl]

Making a half-Billion in revenue in the 1st yr would be great actually.

[severe locust]

never heard of it

[left bone]

bssically its like splatoon instead of shooting ink you shoot foam and bubbles

thats it

[crude onyx]

At this point making half a billion in the first year would just push the focus more to mobile games. I feel like at this point console/pc releases are fending for themselves right now.

Only reason why 343 hasnt been axed is because of the Halo ip.

[severe locust]

if 343 is going to make a mobile game, better release mainline or spinoff so they dont get massive backlash

[normal owl]

Yes, 343 was created specifically to handle the Halo IP, which has been performing strongly, specifically the Halo TV show on which 343 also worked.

[normal owl]

Mobile is the world's most popular gaming platform, and mobile games have potential to achieve high revenue. The way that the plurality of the world's gamers choose to experience video games is not inherently evil just because other gamers who enjoy different platforms feel so.

[languid sable]

That's the whole idea 😅

[severe locust]

not saying its a bad thing, its just gonna be another diablo immortal situation

[silent sail]

This is hella random but does anyone want to play grounded on PlayStation, crossplay isn’t working yet so I can only connect with people using psn but let me know if anyone is down

[languid sable]

343 were made as a skeleton company to move the Halo IP forward. When Microsoft don't want to make a new game, they cut the studio down to just being a name, when they want to make a new game, they start hiring again. But 343 itself would never be axed.

[normal owl]

Could definitely see some traditionalists disliking it, but we can't argue with how well Diablo Immortal did commercially thanks to the apparently many players who enjoyed it.

[crude onyx]

Mobile is the safest bet if you wanna make huge financial profits, but yea they shouldnt abandon the console and pc market just for mobile.

[severe locust]

releasing a mobile alongside a mainline game would be the safest

[crude onyx]

As a consumer it'll be the safest, but business wise creating games for consoles and pc has been less than spectacular. Im absolutely sure that even though Infinite financial wise turned a profit, that it undersold massively.

[normal owl]

I personally very much agree. Video games provide such a wide range of ways to engage, and console and PC are just physically more able to provide the immersive escape into a world that mobile can't. It has such powerful potential, and you can really only experience it above a certain visual scale.

[severe locust]

fans are still getting a game that pushes on with the story and Microsoft would pay off the money spent on development with their mobile game

most likely

[normal owl]

I would love this. Would allow people to dive deep into the rich console/PC game while still scratching the itch when on the go.

[crude onyx]

Thats what I feel like should be done, but you cant put a cap on greed.

[hollow void]

Mobile game? Watch 343 license it to tencent

[exotic bramble]

Hello there

Halo mobile game would be garbage

If you really want to stick to steam link

Well it depends on the type of game

[normal owl]

Tencent would likely turn them down actually. They're the biggest on the block in that space and they've pivoted away from the slimmer margins of licensed IP games because they don't need that exposure boost anymore.

[exotic bramble]

Like halo wars for example wouldn't be that bad

[hollow void]

Their most successful games outside of china is however big IPs. But considering that most American studios now want to make their own mobile games I guess

Nova 3 was so fun and it was the closest to being a halo mobile game

[sick igloo]

Is there anywhere i can show off this fan story i made?

[hollow void]

YouTube

[sick igloo]

Nah its on a website

[waxen berry]

@sick igloo Well you got social media accounts?

[sick igloo]

Its on a book writing website called booksie

[urban bronze]

is it about halo?

[sick igloo]

Yes

Its a story taking place during the fall of reach

[bold sail]

Closest we've ever gotten was Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike for Windows Phone and Tablet if I remember correctly. Over 10 years ago if I remember correctly.

[hollow void]

Well just put a link here it will be deleted if illegal

[sick igloo]

They said not to advertise tho

[solemn heart]

Anyone else having issues with moas this week? None of mine are creditting

[hollow void]

Yeah but you're not advertising you're sharing

[sick igloo]

Oh ok

[frosty siren]

Idea for moible halo... u managege a fleet. As u upgrade u unlock move ships for your fleet

Toatoly not askibg to manage the U.N.S.C infinity

[hollow void]

I would want a Vega Conflict style game for sure

[sick igloo]

Heres the link then

[arctic roost]

Imagine a battle mode where you can do the keyes loop

[sick igloo]

https://www.booksie.com/718533-halo-escapees

[sick igloo]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frosty siren]

Keys loop with the infinity

[waxen berry]

If you want to advertise you could make a book

[obsidian wyvern]

@analog knot was this ur issue

[waxen berry]

@arctic roost Like a full mission?

[sick igloo]

Dont have the money rn

[solemn heart]

?? My issue is destroying moas and none of them have been crediting in my challenges. Affecting two different maps thus far

[obsidian wyvern]

yes i pinged panda because he mentioned an issue with moas earlier today, wanted to see if it was the same issue as urs

[arctic roost]

That'd be cool too, but i was thinking more of like pvp and it was basically a trick shot where the enemy had to be at the right place and you'd have to time and angle everything perfectly to successfully execute the Keye's loop.

[exotic bramble]

I mean those weren’t bad games but a first person would be pretty bad with the state of mobile gaming

[solemn heart]

Yesterday the moas didn't even appear, now they are finally showing up but no credit

[sick igloo]

Are there any mods that know what i can do with this book or nah

[quiet warren]

finally watching halo nightfall wish me luck

[obsidian wyvern]

it's not thaaaat bad but bleh

[quiet warren]

What’s the timeline

[severe locust]

Should I watch halo 4 forward until dawn first before halo 4

[quiet warren]

Yes

It’s the prequel

It’s actually a good movie

[forest fulcrum]

It’s an amazing movie

[heavy ivy]

^its a decent movie, but also sucks

[forest fulcrum]

There sadly are bits that feel like filler/pacing issues, but it is a good film

[heavy ivy]

think of it like this and im not going to sugar coat it as ive seen it a handful of times and recently a few weeks ago. The movie has a lot of filler. going as far as focusing on ODSTS rather than the main character. imagine an anime with 3/4th season as filler and then continues the series

[forest fulcrum]

(Funny enough it’s the main reason one of the characters in my series is able to wear Mk5B, cause Mk4B looks the same because of that film)

[obsidian wyvern]

forward unto dawn is somehow the high bar for halo shows

[forest fulcrum]

I shall set a new bar good sir

[heavy ivy]

halo season 2 was actually really good tbh.

season 1 was bad

[quiet warren]

Am I the only one that liked the halo show it’s not the greatest but it’s not that bad either

[frosty siren]

Great movie

[frosty siren]

Ur not alone

[heavy ivy]

the 2nd season was amazing. Ignore the canon of the game and its an impeccable show

[quiet warren]

Yo the 2nd season was amazing it is better than the first season

O so nightfall is the prequel to 5??

[heavy ivy]

the thing i dont like is that 343 keeps adding their own canon ruining the franchise

[obsidian wyvern]

what did you expect them to do..?

[heavy ivy]

^not implement call of duty aspects

[cedar turret]

So you want them to not add anything? Just sit on the IP? No new games, no new books, no new movies, shows or cartoons?

[jade walrus]

343 technically didn't make that gamemode

[cedar turret]

How is adding more content ruining the franchise?

[safe dawn]

Explain whats wrong with it

[heavy ivy]

are you going to say halo inifinte was good content?

[safe dawn]

I enjoyed it, so yes, i am

[heavy ivy]

bummer

[solemn heart]

Here I am thinking that all multiplayer is ruining halo cannon 😄

[cedar turret]

It was a good campaign

[safe dawn]

Ok and?

[waxen berry]

How many Halos we have so far?

[cedar turret]

And while I wasn't fond of the multiplayer it was what the kids on the net whinged for Halo 3 again

[heavy ivy]

it isnt a good campaign i might as well of just played assassins creed

[safe dawn]

11 games if im counting right, and alot of books

[heavy ivy]

its just assassins creed reskinned

[cedar turret]

Answer the questions in order.

[safe dawn]

Also a few movies/series

[pulsar cobalt]

Halo infinite was good content

[cedar turret]

lol

[waxen berry]

@pulsar cobalt I think I remember on Reddit some people hated one Halo game. It's not infinite

[heavy ivy]

if you dont mind me asking

[cedar turret]

Alirght, you're either straight trolling or never played another video game. Either way time to move on.

[safe dawn]

That was halo 5 lol

[heavy ivy]

how old are yall.

[cedar turret]

Don't ask personal questions

[safe dawn]

9999 years old

[safe dawn]

Also this ^

[heavy ivy]

because im seeing a lot of he/hims lgbtq type that ogs would of never participated in lmao

[cedar turret]

You want to explain that?

[solemn heart]

Uh, well I'm old enough to have bought/played every halo game with my own money

[safe dawn]

Elaborate.

[solemn heart]

And I absolutely use he/hims because I practice inclusion

[safe dawn]

Bc, none of that made a shred of sense

[hollow void]

Should've split the canon like star wars

Because Halo Reach ended quite nicely

[heavy ivy]

absolutely man reach was peak

[cedar turret]

spaghetti is a type of noodle. The sauce can change. Most commonly it's a ragu or meat sauce

[safe dawn]

Wait so is or isnt it pasta? You have confused me

[hollow void]

Mac and cheese my favourite spaghetti

[cedar turret]

It's a noodle. A type of pasta, but it's several different pasta dishes becuase of the different sauces

[safe dawn]

Lol

[hollow void]

A romance halo book when?

[safe dawn]

Oohhhh, idk lol, my family just always calls it spagehtti or pasta

[cedar turret]

So, what you think of as spaghetti, is that type of noodles with a ragu. But it can also be made with a pesto sauce, bolognaise, a few others.

[safe dawn]

Hopefully never

When my mom makes pasta, the only thing that changes is usually the pasta, the sauce is the same

[hollow void]

I want to sent a picture but no embeds

[pulsar cobalt]

Wrong Halo 3 was peak 😂

[safe dawn]

For once, good

[safe dawn]

Wrong, infinite is peak

[pulsar cobalt]

True

[safe dawn]

Infinite has, by far, the most capability for anything out of all the games

[hollow void]

One thing good about 343 was adding the grapple shot

I love flying around like Spiderman in my 300 kilo armor

[safe dawn]

All well and good till you miss your shot and fall into 6 enemy spartans laps

:)

[hollow void]

Gravity hammer says hi

The gravity hammer and grapple is such a good combo

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm surprised 343 never added a filter so you could have the proper core items showing only i have to go through so many

[cedar turret]

AH, but when are they going to make an antigravity hammer?

[quiet warren]

We need a halo and doom crossover

[analog knot]

They should be working now 😄 Make sure youre not hitting the fake ones (that are always there)

[hollow void]

Makes Spartans fly

[brave prairie]

Yes yes we do

[tawdry raptor]

Chief fighting demons or the slayer fighting the covenant? Which were you thinking of?

[robust spear]

Wrong, Halo 5

[solemn heart]

Confirmed first three in H2 work. None of the CE ones worked.

[signal wedge]

wrong, halo 4

[bold sail]

I don't think any of them are peak given the fans divisive nature and how each of them were developed.

[candid solar]

Oh, I only factor in fan opinion after suffering from a massive intracerebral hemorrhage.

[bold sail]

Don't remind me. I'm better off staying away from those people less I lose my sanity. Needless to say, it's been better off.

[signal wedge]

most peak was reach because noble team

[candid solar]

I can't post my relevant meme because it has a swear. I feel so upset by this.

[bold sail]

Even though the game completely conflicts with established lore from the Fall of Reach.

And I mean the book.

[candid solar]

Honestly you'd only have to change 4 things from Reach and Fall of Reach for me to say "Whoa these flow together perfectly"

1; Remove Emile entirely.

[signal wedge]

the game takes priority

[candid solar]

Neither takes priority. We are not following Bungalow's bogus.

[bold sail]

Exactly.

[bold sail]

But keep going with this.

[candid solar]

Oh, the only important one was the first one.

[bold sail]

Ha. Good luck with that especially given how fans like Emile. I don't mind Noble Team but they could've been better.

[candid solar]

I mean, see the brain bleed I mentioned earlier.

I don't understand the love for Noble's least effective Spartan.

But then, I'm not swayed by a mediocre paint scheme and garish paraphernalia.

[bold sail]

Could be a similar love to how fans like Trevor Phillips from. GTA 5. He's a psychopath.

[candid solar]

At least Trevor actually can do his job despite his addled state.

[signal wedge]

Hey man the games are the originals and bungie didn't care about the books

[cedar turret]

During my legendary run of reach emile was the only useful member of noble team. He actually saved me in the room with the skirmishers and the camo elites after the hunters

[signal wedge]

atleast 343 does carea bout book lore

[candid solar]

They didn't care so much that they had to be effectively blackmailed into accepting the deal they agreed to.

[cedar turret]

Lost track of one of the camo elites and emile managed to snag himself his first kill

[normal owl]

Sorry but the undisputably peak game was Risk: Halo.

Noice

[candid solar]

Eh. This is the same vein as saying Kat's a bad driver though.

[cedar turret]

She's no worse than any other halo ai.

There all terrible. Never let the computer drive

[candid solar]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-odst-exactly-gif-23888597

[normal owl]

There we go

[cedar turret]

So, in terms of usefulness Emile is the best, jun is the worst. Every body else is tied for second to last.

[candid solar]

No?

Emile's the only one who fails consistently in every task he is assigned.

[cedar turret]

In terms of actual gameplay experience, Emile saved me once. Jun put me in danger repeatedly and everyone else was useless.

[candid solar]

And in terms of actual narrative and thus consistent experience, Emile fails.

[cedar turret]

In terms of narrative they're all terrible one not characters who exist only to get a laugh when they die with the exception of Jorge who gets a couple pet the dog moments.

[candid solar]

For example, he's never once actually saved me in Reach-in fact, he's shot me in the back more than Jun has.

[smoky token]

I hunger

[robust spear]

halo spartan assault is better than halo 3

[candid solar]

Suggestion; Eat pasta

[smoky token]

I do not believe I have any

[cedar turret]

Jun randomly fires his sniper into the air when you're trying to walk around elites so you can beat two minutes on nightfall

[smoky token]

I've only gotta kill a couple more pirates before the Federal Navy makes me an admiral

[candid solar]

yeah kinda

[signal wedge]

this why 343 should have just restarted the entire canon

[candid solar]

oh god no:

[cedar turret]

Nah, the cannon worked fine you just had to aim at the ships

[robust spear]

Fr, they should make master chief a woman tho

[signal wedge]

because what happens to plotholes left behind by Bungie?

[robust spear]

Idk

[signal wedge]

Joan-117

[bold sail]

Least the one good thing about Reach is that Noble 6 is the unsung hero of it all but due to the Spartan's tendency of completing Black Ops missions no one except for a few in ONI will ever know who Six was.

Which suits some warriors. Least Halsey was able to deliver a eulogy.

[cedar turret]

I really wanted to push him off that cliff

[robust spear]

😟

[calm fiber]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572921337782337566/1211114454142681118/noping.png?ex=65ed053b&is=65da903b&hm=127c1f5a619a9cb041d895fc8b72e2582f18b58934fcc2c232dda28837a796a2&

[signal wedge]

this is like the 5th time today he said not to ping him

[robust spear]

Who?

[cedar turret]

His only redeeming value is that the second carter and six were out of sight he pushed Halsey in the mud and ran for the nearest transport off world. Then got really paranoid when she showed up later.

[bold sail]

Dead or Alive already did that with Nicole-458.

[cedar turret]

me, turn off that @

[robust spear]

Oh Ight

My fault

[signal wedge]

Alice 130 is the only alive II

oh wait

[candid solar]

God, I wish.

Then we'd only have one left to write off as a casualty and get along with the damn narrative instead of another freaking "mabster cheebf storby"

[signal wedge]

Master Chief is Halo

Halo is Master Chief

[candid solar]

If you are an incredibly shortsighted microsoft exec, absolutely.

[bold sail]

Alice, Linda, Kelly. I know there are a few more surviving female Spartan 2's but those three are the ones I can name easily.

[signal wedge]

thats like a batman game with no batman cough gotham knights

[candid solar]

Only being able to see past your nose is absolutely a struggle if you're trying to actually be good at making a story though.

OTOH, yes, Reach's story is absolutely awful.

[bold sail]

Unfortunately there are fans who see it that way too. But as you mentioned before.

[candid solar]

But it's not because Chief, thank god, isn't involved.

[candid solar]

Brainbleeds!

[signal wedge]

Infinite would have been bad if the character you're playing was a random Spartan

[candid solar]

God, I'd actually like the campaign if that were the case.

[bold sail]

Gives me a laugh at the achievement that points it out. https://www.halopedia.org/Collection_Eligibility_Confirmed

[candid solar]

Like, literally the only way to make me not hate Infinite's campaign as much as I do at this point.

[bold sail]

It worked for ODST.

[candid solar]

I am so damn tired of the single least interesting character in the franchise being parroted as being more interesting than he actually is.

[signal wedge]

you're right

[candid solar]

Like, I get you're boring, but for the love of god, the games don't have to be.

[bold sail]

And we need more Elite focus in games. Their dialog in 2 makes them a far interesting experience.

[signal wedge]

no thanks

Master Chief is so iconic though if you're gonna replace him it better be in the next 10 years and then reboot the Halo universe

[candid solar]

Acceptable.

I'd take burning the whole damn franchise to the dirt and salting it to ensure we don't talk about him again.

https://tenor.com/view/it-is-acceptable-gus-fring-acceptable-better-call-saul-acceptable-gif-25806361

The narrative uselessness of having a character literally unable to lose is far more of a cancer than simply not involving him.

[signal wedge]

this person has beef with 117

[candid solar]

Wow, what was your first clue? The fact I actually care about Halo as a universe and not caring for stories like whatever Honor Harrington is up to?

I'm sorry it wasn't obvious enough for you to realize it up around...

[candid solar]

Here.

[bold sail]

It worked for the Wars games and the legends Anime.

[candid solar]

Or any of the many, many other times I've stated how strongly I feel about my dislike for Chief.

Steve Downes has done a great job. Emphasis on the past tense.

[signal wedge]

We already have tons of stuff that has no chief though

[candid solar]

Good. We need more.

[signal wedge]

I doubt majority would like a main halo game with no 117

[candid solar]

Majority didn't like a main Halo game WITH him.

It's almost as though he's boring.

[signal wedge]

Yeah who actually enjoyed playing as Locke in 5

[candid solar]

Me.

Because it wasn't playing as Chief, and I'd rather play as someone who is slimly less boring than he is.

[bold sail]

I could mention Spartan Ops but it doesn't really count.

[candid solar]

I love Spartan ops.

[signal wedge]

that game with palmer

[candid solar]

I'll give you a hint as to why!

First answer doesn't count.

Unless it's "Not Chief", then it counts

[strange saddle]

bro what

[candid solar]

Yes.

[strange saddle]

do you like halo 5

[candid solar]

Explain why Reach is good. You won't get an answer on 5 til you do.

[strange saddle]

never played reach

[candid solar]

Then I never played 5.

[strange saddle]

???

[candid solar]

Stalemate engaged

[strange saddle]

[signal wedge]

A Halo game but with Buck as the maain character would be cool

[candid solar]

At least Buck has opinions

[signal wedge]

I vote buck as new fireteam leader

[strange saddle]

i like the rookie

[signal wedge]

he's dead

[candid solar]

He certainly is pretty good at painting walls.

[strange saddle]

stop talking

[candid solar]

So, what specifically do you like about Rookie's character

[signal wedge]

117's opinion is finish the fight and thats based

[candid solar]

The complete silence short of a whistle?

[robust spear]

Guys, yes or no, master chief would be better if he was bright purple

[candid solar]

Sleeping a lot?

[signal wedge]

if he had hair

like female spartans can keep their hair thats very unfair

[hollow void]

Why do people say Chief is boring he is a soldier he does what soldiers do and plus since Halo 4 he has better characterization

[candid solar]

They say he's boring because he's boring.

There's no drama involved in how he acts at this point.

Oh, he's fighting villain of the day? Guess he'll win.

His most interesting acts are in a game people don't like because they don't really get what's shockingly easy to understand if you're not going out of your way to not get.

[hollow void]

He lost Cortana in 5

That's why he said he made a mistake in Infinite when talking to Echo

[candid solar]

Infinite is basically him returning to form in the worst way.

The safest, easiest way.

[sharp cloak]

How

Did he lose cortana

[elfin glacier]

[hollow void]

Duh

[hollow void]

Idk you tell me

[bold sail]

Did you play 5's campaign?

[bold sail]

Trenchbird, I know for the UNSC there's a lot of ideas that can be implemented for stories but about for the Covenant pre, during and post war for stories? I mean the duel was a good one into why the rank of Arbiter became a mark of shame and the Halo 2 Anniversary terminals got into the rise of the Covenant.

[candid solar]

There's a few possible, but Halo is historically human-focused. Personally, I think emphasizing human-Sangheili relations in the post-war JOZ would be a risky but worthwhile endeavor.

[bold sail]

I would love to see it. Getting past 3 decades of bad blood isn't going to happen easily but in a few generations it'd be interesting indeed.

[signal wedge]

Post war stories would have been cool but then humanity is now at war again

I really like the advancements of the UNSC in Halo 4 like the Infinity and I want to see more of that

that short video of the scientist designing the grapple shot is cool. But that thing was designed to carry an entire Mjolnir set 💀

[fickle drift]

Mcc has got to be one of the worst coop experienced to date.

I am bewildered by how laggy and glitch n crash ridden this game is. How does multiplayer with 8+ ppl run better than 4 player campaign??

And why does this game disappear from my taskbar so damn much? I had to restart h2 regret on LASO because of that bs!

Its these small things building up that genuinely just tempt me to put halo down and never come back. This is awful.

[graceful inlet]

Good Morning Spartans!

Damn, it was a good dream.
It's a pity that this is just a dream

[hollow crag]

Sony really just dropped their best state of play in years, will be interesting to see Microsofts response

[soft olive]

Hello everyone

[minor smelt]

[bold sail]

Wait I forgot that 3 Spartan 2's successfully retired from service. The threes though on the other hand....

[bold sail]

Really? Results have been mixed lately due to the whole Helldivers 2 fiasco.

[thorny glen]

I've heard nothing but people saying the state of play they dropped to be the worst one yet

[thorny glen]

Multiplayer runs on dedicated servers
Campaign co-op does not, it runs on the legacy networking Bungie used for all of them because trying to switch them to dedicated servers or the new networking 343i managed to make for Firefight is a very difficult & time consuming process.

[thorny glen]

Because you use the tab button to switch while playing MCC in full screen, this breaks the game. Run the game in borderless window instead.
If that's not the case, don't click the windows key or exit out of the game at all while loading into matches. If you do, it'll disappear most of the time.

[meager linden]

Day without playing Halo feels like hell, so boring

[signal wedge]

Jun

idk how old is Jun but he is no longer a spartan

he made the IVs I think

[steady jolt]

He trains them

[obsidian wyvern]

stckrs back woooo

[steady jolt]

ish - busy weekend, but I'll be around

[obsidian wyvern]

hope everything's ok

[bold sail]

Could be a troll remark to try to incite trouble.

[hollow crag]

I dunno, for me personally it was great.

God of War Ragnarok PC version.
No big PS5 games.
Crying Playstation fans.

Perfect State og Play.

@thorny glen

[bold sail]

Didn't think I'd be right.

[hollow crag]

You weren't.

God of War on PC is alot better than any thing they have released in recent years, nothing troll about it.

[vapid siren]

Im on tv

[ocean herald]

who are you. are you the guy with quadrant on the back of the shirt?

[meager linden]

That V mark armour is so damn hot
It almost looks like Noble 6 armour

[honest garden]

[vapid siren]

[faint mantle]

Wow, Ubernick is playing?

[vapid siren]

Better bit is that this fulfills my promise to tony that hed see my face

[steady jolt]

I wish I was in London 😞

[rare cedar]

I was gunna ask if you were gunna attend

show up for championship sunday

[steady jolt]

Too much going on to justify the expense to get down, plus this week was a write-off anyways

[rare cedar]

that's fair 🙂

@obsidian wyvern will go in your place

RIGHT REV

[normal owl]

oh lol, well still.

[vapid siren]

Exactly

Now to be half asleep all day

[amber mirage]

I dare you

[obsidian wyvern]

you're in London??

[vapid siren]

No

Look closely

Think about it

[obsidian wyvern]

idk I'm outside and it's raining

have to check when I get home

[rare cedar]

are you the reason why it's delayed?

they're awaiting your arrival?

[vapid siren]

No whatever it is is hardware on the stage it seems

System swaps galore

[rare cedar]

Nothing beats a "we tested all hardware prior to, now it doesn't want to work when we're live" moment

[vapid siren]

Watch it be psu voltage

So used to na 120 they forgot to 220

[obsidian wyvern]

yesh

[rare cedar]

I honestly thought about the voltage difference

[vapid siren]

It would be so funny

[obsidian wyvern]

oh I see next to the rat, lmao

[frosty siren]

How do u get a paper cut from a bush

[analog knot]

Could be an Edgeworthia

[normal owl]

[hasty zinc]

it keeps yelling at me for not continuing my klingon lessons

[trim saddle]

klingon is like russian, always sounds angry

[normal owl]

Lily is going to challenge you to a duel soon.

[trim saddle]

id rather have a duet

♫ Ive had the time of my life, and i owe it all to youuuuuuu ♫

[normal owl]

Michigan Halo server members karaoke night

[trim saddle]

Oh yeah, thats is a possibility.

[vapid siren]

I… i may be right

[quiet warren]

Yea so halo nightfall

Ummmm not a fan

Not the worst but not the best

[hearty flame]

Klingon is like Russian, it's a fake language

[meager linden]

So I just bought 4.400 credits
I can buy something now or is it a better decision to wait for the new season?
Like new stuff etc...

[hearty flame]

I'm convinced when people "learn" Russian they're actually learning a very weak telepathy so they can only understand others who are "speaking" Russian. The words and syllables mean nothing.

[trim saddle]

sounds real to me, english is made up as well.

[meager linden]

Klingon?
Who is it?

[trim saddle]

so much so that everyone speaks a different version and claims theirs to be the authentic one

[hearty flame]

That's completely up to you. Buy what you like, and if you want to wait, you can wait. You could always wait for the new season and then if you don't like anything, buy what you wanted to buy now.

That's the thing about the shop, you can buy anything whenever you want as long as it's not something you had to unlock during a limited time event.

[meager linden]

I know, stupid question
But it is really Important for me😂😂

[hearty flame]

Now go back to like 2021-2022 where that wasn't the case and if you missed something, you had to wait like 6 months for it to come back

[trim saddle]

back then i was just buying everything.. lol

[hearty flame]

I never said it was a stupid question I just said "Wait if you want"

[meager linden]

Thanks for important advice

[hearty flame]

Then you're part of the problem tbh

[trim saddle]

nah, i just have spare cash.

and id rather not be judged on my spending habits for a hobby of mine

[hearty flame]

Yeah, part of the problem. Blindly buying everything even if it's trash just because it's limited time is feeding into their machine of "Just put it out, they'll buy it just because it says Halo on it."

[trim saddle]

so spare your words, they fall on deaf ears.

[hearty flame]

Ironic

[meager linden]

I'm just worrying that I can really miss something cool

[hearty flame]

Anyhoo, if you just buy everything because FOMO you're really easy prey

[trim saddle]

ironic that youre now blocked.

[hearty flame]

Hopefully you don't discover Genshin

[hearty flame]

That's crazy, how much do I have to pay to be unblocked? Wait, I don't care, I don't want to buy that

[trim saddle]

insulting someone because they have more money than you. Childish.

[meager linden]

I know about Genshin, but I don't really like that anime games

[hearty flame]

Yeah neither do I tbh

[trim saddle]

I have no time for toddler antics.

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[faint mantle]

Can y'all not

[trim saddle]

i think im at 50% for the drops right now. It didnt click that the time difference would be rather large.

[hasty zinc]

oh is it over?

[normal owl]

You already had to raise actual toddlers through that stage.

[obsidian wyvern]

started like 2 hrs ago

[meager linden]

No, it's still going

[trim saddle]

yes but i love my kids, i shouldnt have to deal with "grown" ones in discord.

[normal owl]

Haha too right!

[trim saddle]

and no theyre still trucking away at the games. they had a point where they had technical difficulties and were at a standstill.

[obsidian wyvern]

hour to go

[normal owl]

Oh shoot I need to pull that up and start

[trim saddle]

are you able to have more than one tab open at a time for the 3 other drops? or are those for later in the day?

[obsidian wyvern]

u can only progress one set of drops at a time

[pulsar cobalt]

do the co streamer one first then before the last day start it

so you get all of them

[obsidian wyvern]

i just need the commando to finally finish off the set after like 3 yrs

[pulsar cobalt]

Harvest dusk is gonna be great for mirage

I also want the eaglestrike ones for mirage but 343 hasn't blessed those coatings with CC yet

[candid solar]

... Come to think of it, isn't this the first free camo cosmetic that wasn't holiday themed?

Oh, wait, ash gray.

And Desert "Sparpat"

[trim saddle]

Im excited to test it out on Yoroi.

[faint mantle]

Y'all saw the new home page?

[normal owl]

Almost there!

[junior horizon]

I could have sworn adrenal was a store bought coating?

[faint mantle]

Adrenal was a promo skin

Which then turned into a shop item

made controversy because those who already had one Adrenal item couldn't buy the others

And now it's a drop

[faint mantle]

Jeeeesus, what is this Sniper?

[trim saddle]

Im glad other promo items are becoming drops. Im waiting for action block and red shift to come to twitch.

[signal wedge]

guys are Spartans flood immune

[livid oyster]

That's hot

[obsidian wyvern]

id much rather have promo items come to the exchange instead of drops

[livid oyster]

No. They released like a little audio story called Saturn devouring his son. Spartans got infected in it pretty sure

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[trim saddle]

exchange is also a good avenue for redemption, itll just be 30k most likely.

[wild sleet]

So I claimed my drops but I don’t see them

[trim saddle]

they may take a bit to show up. theres probably a few people redeeming currently.

[wild sleet]

I don’t know because I got the weapon coating

[quiet warren]

I just started watching now

[trim saddle]

well if it doesnt show up, youd probably need to put in a support ticket about it. I still have a ticket open for almost a year now about a razorback coating that disappeared on me.

[junior horizon]

london major?

stanchion is peak sniper model, surgeon is alright

[candid solar]

Nothing is immune to the flood.

Not even the Endless-it's only theorized by fans trying to cope around Cortana saying they're 'worse' than the flood, somehow.

[granite sky]

not even master chief is! he nearly got infected before

[signal wedge]

so johnson is?

[candid solar]

No. That was one of very few actual retcons in Halo history.

[granite sky]

johnson was too cool to let die in the first game so some story was written to let him live 😁

[candid solar]

And more amazingly, it was one of the few retcons Bungie ever did that I agreed with.

[faint mantle]

I haven't seen this map before, how have I missed so much stuff

[amber mirage]

You don't play Ranked

[faint mantle]

Oh it's exclusive to ranked?

Figures

[amber mirage]

Yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

it's the rig from 5

[amber mirage]

I wish it wasn't exclusive to Ranked. I'd like to play it, but don't want to have to play 4v4 Ranked

[candid solar]

Still don't get why the hell it's not in any other mode.

[quiet warren]

what happened to launchsite?

i loved that map

[obsidian wyvern]

that map sucks

weighting was probably decreased a ton for that reason

[quiet warren]

i loved playing tactical slayer on it lol

[livid oyster]

Didn't know they retconned Johnson being flood immune. Disappointment

I think it was first strike where chief opted not to turn that data into unsc/oni and saved johnson's bacon. I liked that

[signal wedge]

we need a forerunner human war game for real

[granite sky]

was that a scene in a book where chief or cortana was curious how johnson survived and reached that conclusion? i havent read the book in years just a faint echo of a memory, maybe a false memory

[livid oyster]

Pretty sure it was first strike. But I can't quite remember either

[wide portal]

Hi, I'm new to the halo serie, got interested in the story from the tv show and bought the master chief edition, I've done reach which was a bit quick on confusing but understood that it was suppose to be played after the trilogy.
I'm going through halo ce now and I have to say that there isn't that much story and the gameplay is super repetitive, the mission are super simillar, is it always going to be like that ? Maybe halo isn't made for me ?

[livid oyster]

It gets better. Ce came out in 2001, so that game is old as dirt in terms of videogames

Master piece for it's time though

[granite sky]

interesting time to think about as a game

[wide portal]

I saw on reddit people saying that it's better to stop after halo 3 (story), as the new story is pretty bad

[livid oyster]

Let yourself decide after playing it

[signal wedge]

just play Halo Infinite

the story you can watch on youtube

[granite sky]

definitely try 4,5, infinite on your own and decide, they have moments

[wide portal]

I'm thinking about halo 5 not being on pc and don't want to be frustrated about it ?

[normal owl]

First of all, WELCOME to the Haloverse and the rich world of stories it contains! As for CE, I'm not sure who advised you to play Reach first, but what does the heavy lifting in CE is the discovery of many elements that turn out to be staples of the Halo games. In CE, Master Chief is sort of a visitor/discoverer whose eyes we see through to uncover and realize things. By the time Reach came out 9 yrs later, many of those elements are already assumed to be known by players, so they may have stolen some of the thunder from the "new world" that CE's journey leans on a lot. But it's still a great gateway to the rest of the games and I hope you really enjoy your own journey through the games!

[wide portal]

Thanks, reach was first on the list when you start the campaign that's why.

[wide portal]

I don't plan on playign multiplayer, I only play for story. I'm more of an apex person

[normal owl]

Yeah it's unfortunate that there isn't a clearer description of lore chronological order vs release order. But after CE, you'll play 2, and that will be a huge widening of scope of the story that I think you'll really enjoy.

[signal wedge]

just pretend that Reach is the ending of the story and every game after that is like disney star wars

which isn't bad but it's by a different company

[wide portal]

Is it that bad ?

[normal owl]

As a note, as with any fandom, there are loud minorities that calcify into hating on this or that. Listening to those who say to skip 4, 5, or Infinite only serves to let them deny you your own story experience through those. @wide portal

[wide portal]

So halo 2 start to go deep into the story ?

[signal wedge]

it's okay just try it they added sprinting which is amazing!

[finite patrol]

Halo 2 peak

[livid oyster]

If you can't play it just look up the story review on youtube or read the plot on one of the fan websites

[wide portal]

I was super frustrated with the tv show, but the story on who build the halo and all that is captivating

[wide portal]

I played reach fist, you can guess my first google search ?

[signal wedge]

reach

[rare cedar]

what's happening on june 9 at 1

[normal owl]

Deeper and wider. It's a huge accelerant in the world development and a lot of fun. And if you are captivated by the origins of halo, then you'll definitely want to play 4-5 as that delves deeper into the prior galactic "generation".

[livid oyster]

What's unfortunate about the show is that it's a different timeline/universe

[wide portal]

True

[livid oyster]

Wheres the that's what she said meme

[wide portal]

Teh second season was full on whining and emotional drama, at each their own, but wasn't for me.

[wide portal]

That sold then.

[normal owl]

I would ignore those who say to skip this game or that game. As with anything, there are certain groupthinks that find it fashionable to hate on one thing vs another. No one has the right to discourage you from experiencing the full range of games. @wide portal

[finite patrol]

Depending on difficulty you can blast through them

[signal wedge]

I liked 4 because of the extended forerunner lore

[wide portal]

I did come here for advice, because I don't want to play 15h of a game and be utterly disapointed.

[normal owl]

Xbox Games Showcase! I love watching those things: a feast of hype for all of these time luxuries that I could never afford. It's like when people go to luxury car shows lol.

[hasty zinc]

to be fair, that could still happen even if everyone highly recommended something

[signal wedge]

just play every game in order of release and you''ll be fine

[hasty zinc]

release order best order
