Just adorable. Props to whichever artist was responsible
Agreed
Holy crap this is at the retro gaming store I'm at right now.
the bane of my existence as a child
A unsealed Nintendo Power magazine, issue 5.
I wonder why they turn off comments on the pride month post on insta🤔
One of life's many mysteries.
Absolutely loving this!! 
that does go hard ngl
the coating and visor are so good
guys where did my comment about the lgbtq steam went?
Ask Staff on Steam about that
Unless you mean a comment here was removed?
Hey all
Ah, yeah, we can't help with that here. Steam has their own moderation staff
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
not only my comment, at all comments
l
That looks amazing
wym you cant help, its halo moderator stuff
Whats up stcker
i am not gay
I have nothing to do with Steam, I don't help there, same with other staff here
Ok
somehow from the post an hour ago the comments went from 60 to 1 down
dont think its steam
i hate them 🤬
Ok
You'll probably want to read up on what freedom of speech actually is
wow somehow on steam it says this thread is closed by a mod
I don't think it's what you think it is
surely was steam, right?
Anyways, stuff about Steam forums isn't anything we can help with here
Steam, there will be a way to contact staff there somehow
What exactly did you say.
Again, I have nothing to do with Steam
"about LGBT" gives me a good guess, but you can skip the line if you just say you were being -phobic.
but why should i contact steam, when it says its closed from a mod?
a steam communtity selects their mods
Contact the mods for that forum
I don't use Steam so I don't know how, but there will surely be a way
There is.
Though that way is usually to scream at mods for being straightphobic or whatever.
alright, thanks tho!!! imma try to reach em´
Heterophobic.
man who you talking to, im writing with mods. if i wanted a third party to answer i'd @ you
I equipped the coating and visor onto ce master chief
ooooh
Just a concerned citizen.
Hah, nice
I bet that looks sick
Nice!
Ty tho @steady jolt
For stuff like this, you really don't need to get involved
Valid.
knock it off
It looks really good
Like, I get it, but it rarely ends up being helpful. Generally more harmful
nah its alright, when you serious about you dont know what steam mods do. Then im fine, im sorry for bothering you
Someone already told me this.
Took me a while to notice the bracelets are trans colored with the pink and blue, guess it’s just that eye-catching
it's definitely cool
That last message was directed towards Trench, not you, just to make things clear
I love the visor
Kinda kicking myself for not buying the Lechuza bundle back in the day.
Aight, Have a good Day/Night
@dense pivot
Even with that little misprint oddity the gloves still look perf.
Hello my friend!
👋
I find it funny how it was silently given to everyone without a login announcement about the pride month coatings and emblems
The almighty rainbow fist, top tier
saving this
I love it
My big issue is finding a visor that works with the paint regions.
See #announcements for higher quality
The genius way they managed to squeeze in half of the trans flag is amazing
I feel like the coating shines best on Rakshasa and Chimera.
Still looks amazing on the MK V
e
Miljonir mark V is good no matter the paint job.
I been on halo since the xbox original was announced.....#oldie
When games where proper games ^-^
hell yeah brotherman
That day was really awful
Go to hell with that day
I'm spartan U75 look it up
I'm no where near 117 thou lol
#soldierofmars
Relex like a cat on th any halo game.
Reflex I meant...
Also I been on doom games since 1992
$426742752755252 in shop
reminder that being straight is illegal this month
report violators to the UNSC
Uh... What?
the unity coatings are sooooooo cute I love them!
Good how many cans of beans would it take to fill the empty space inside a halo ring
360
Yep, second round of rewards, didn't get Harvest Dusk.
in the structure or in the middle
Trys to get twitch drop
Twitch: here's the channel
Wacthed it for two hours only to find out twitch wasn't tracking it at all
Both
I'm almost wondering if that actually doesn't get added to in game inventories until next week or something.
360 times pie
Your math skills seem overstated
I lowkey kinda like this
cherry or apple
Apple
hello 1984
Im still waiting for the chrimea coating
I haven't gotten any of them.
what if they made cherry apple pie i think it could work
Yeah it happens cherry and apple go well together.
Very bitter and sweet
Try a McDonald's apple or cheeey pie
Prefer apple
How's everyone
Woim
Doing great wbu bud
Oml
👍
That frog is adorablely obese
forgot "to stream" or "watch stream"
Oh that'd be probably a bullfrog?@candid solar
um what
Gym isn't in these frogs vocabulary
you can get everything tomorrow in one go
Hey halo why I can't say gammiinngg on your halo HCS twitch channel i can't posted tge pic on this channel it wont let me
oh good
have you tried using less letters?
- hrrng,,, interesting.
also
Yes i did and got timeout for saying gammmiinngg
are you spamming it or something?
If you're saying it a lot, the bots there will probably time you out
Moobot will also pick up on duplicated characters, which can often look like spamming.
you said you only said it once, then you said you typed it with less letters which means you were just saying variants of the word "gaming" over and over
Yes the word gaming when HCS come on then when SpaceStation gaming come on 5 hrs later when they come on I say gammmiiinnngg
just type normal lol
Auto timeouts are usually between 1 minute and 10 minutes. Any longer and it means you've already been timed out a few times for other things
army of pies
So how’s everybody’s day going??
I've had food so I'm happy
Forgot that your on xboxon channel as well
can you not manually type in a number anymore?
Get Merty to do it 
I agree 😁
Worst day ever
💀💀
Even on legendary difficulty really hard, I even couldn't leave the start location
Because of elites
anyone have a problem getting the twitch drop harvest dust for chimera, i got the adrenal pistol skin and razorback skin but not the chimera coating
weird
Submit a ticket, it's being looked into
thanks lol
@grim igloo can help with h2 laso
:D
Those people who voted shopify are about to cash in on a lot of points
nah its alr im gonna go through the pain just like every1 else
SSG comeback
Should i get the combat evolved armor or the odst armour for infiniyr
I kid you not my heart still heavily beats every time I have to click that button.
I take long pauses staring at EVERY parameter to ensure it's correct.
👀
ssg my beloved
Stock is about to plummet
Perfect time to invest
nnnnnnoo
good luck with cairo
also im still mad that faze got bought, i used to hold a few FAZE shares and it was funny and made me laugh and slap my knee
now i hold a GAME share and i do not laugh
I will laugh for you
I'll laugh at you
Do 5+5/5 on a phobe calactuer
any updates on halo 7
ty
rude
ahahahahahaha, i'll laugh with you @elfin glacier
ty
So... When are we getting pride month server icons?
Damn wtf did I just witness
pain
Hey guys.
Some bizarre math.
So the match composer is coming soon, pretty neat.
Next map to get removed from the rotation...
【QRT of Shopify Rebellion (@ShopifyRebels):】
'https://t.co/bdtbWrLC9s'
💖 10
what map is that
the rig
oof
To be fair to shopify. I thought they were a darkhorse at arlington
Did not expect them to sweep ssg though
So... what's next after the match composer?
What are the hopes being had?
a good halo 7
Prefect was a nice suit
I feel like anyone being real with themselves will only be asking for cosmetic stuff at this point
new weapons and vehicles and warzone in mm
see that's not being real with yourself 😁
I'll tell you what I want: New weapon/weapons, assassinations, maybe a new vehicle... playable elites maybe.
That's my optimistic take on it, anyways.
The only expectations I have for halo is that I hope the next game just keeps a good story going
Outside of that idc
That and brand-new maps.
Maybe they'll do something and answer questions or something, but there's no telling what's gonna happen with Infinite at this rate.
Not trying to bring down the mood or anything, but Infinite's just kinda feels like a conversation starter at this rate.
Update: Basically everyone is watching HCS at the time of writing this comment, I sorta kinda take back my previous statement.

Everyone is watching hcs today
Oh nice.
Join in
Valid point.
Good night spartans
In all honesty, one of the best parts is getting to hate freely.
In a respectful manner, of course.
Not any more, hate tax for H8.
I only pay taxes when I need to, thank you very much.
I don't believe in taxes
The UNSC needs you to pay your taxes to support the Spartan program and the MIC, civilian!
I got 10,000 points on optic
And what If I d i d n ' t?
Do the dew
Yeah I'm excited. The delivery fees always kept me away from the convenience of it, but now this eliminates that barrier. 
That's a very convincing argument you make there.
It looks like a sniper machine gun by design.
Hits more tax dodgers that way.
There may not be playable elites but at least an elite inspired armor maybe @fickle drift
Helioskrill kit with an undersuit that matches its armor plates a'la Osiris Team would be baller.
Right you are👍
That would be pretty neat, if it's the only way to somewhat represent them in Infinite, then sure thing.
So how many people watching this in total?
I always thought the elites were wearing a tech suit underneath their armor
You are onto something there.
Jul mdama's covenant elites didn't have those but the swords of sanghelios did
Only somewhat good part of that guy's armor was the helmet.
The design just doesn't look right to me.
They do.
They also do.
Jul's elites, for whatever reason, tend to go without the sleeves while keeping the leggings.
Yeah that's true
Also, some of Jul's elites do wear the full suit.
The space suit elite with the jetpack right?
I don't know why I think about that, but what if the entire story of Halo is just revenge for the Noble Team?
“Hey Panda, how’s playing Halo in Japan going”
Panda in Japan:
lol

Bummer. You came from behind and it went opposite, you been robbed.
think I just played with a 343 employee hmm
I want to yorbi marine helemt it looks cools
The yorbi rakshasa looks amazing
i dont think youre allowed numbers in your name like that unless you work for xbox
same with having xbox
Good Night Spartans! 
(And Our Really Kind Marines.
🫂)
that's just a phase ninja like they do in the matrix
I know non-employees with 343 in their gamertag
well i got the coating for the commando and the charm but sttill no armor coatings
Hey
check to see if you have to claim them on waypoint
How are you all guys?
Yeah I got the weapon coatings immediately but no armor. Something’s up with those specifically
yea i already submitted a ticket so hopefully its resolved soon
good and yourself
I'm pretty good thanks for aksing
Guys anyone know where i can post my art work
woot
Nice
didnt think I would get them today
Did you check to see if the armor coating is in your inventory? Most people I’ve spoken to haven’t gotten it
Hoping 343 will finally allow us to get these
Been wanting that wrist one for ages
I think it would also be nice if we could have no knee option like the shoulders
that could make some cursed armors
and allow both knees to be separate
that too
I also think they should split the utility to waist and thighs
and have two thigh slots so you can have stuff on both thighs
And back customization
i think these options would make the customization so much better
if you have a waist option it could allow this type of stuff could still have option for thigh customization
Eaglestrike is sitting here with some nice concept really hope 343 do eaglestrike again
Goofy pants
SSG turning this around!
yay
I got five on the mongeese
I think the trousers look good
well this is fun, tried posting my teaser to the reddit, got removed by mods now been waiting hours for a response I sent in regarding its removal, sad day for me
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I hope they see it soon, got work in the morning XD

I just fiqured out how tp escape Active tripmines...Just tighgly attack a brick to thr side of your shoe and as you are pulling your foot out just aplly downwards press on the boatrm sides of ur shoe
Big brain GIF inset here
Eh
Whats meant by boatrm?
Bottom*
Ah
But just think about it
Pressure relase based Trip mines are usless now even if u cant defued then
The addition of Trip mines did make Family Feud more interesting.
Honestly after Halo 4 and 5's art style I will say 343 nailed it with the Mk VII design
It's very Halo but very much their own and I respect and appreciate that from them
Idkw but i think and say some of the most random stuff
I'd join you but I feel so sleepy my reaction time is probably the one of a kid
So, better than 90 percent of the people in this discord?
Give a 10 year old some sugar and we all respawn together
Do you ever watch your own vods and see someone coming before you saw them in the vid and go "How did I not see that guy!"
Reminds me, forgot to upload my updated pride Spartans 
#1164394180676681798 message
That's me sleep deprived 💀
Somehow I've failed to realize there are nine cores in the game
O LoL my cousian got temperaly suspened from matchmakeing
Is autocorrect just turned off?
Yes
I got annouued with autocorrect
I whoulld try to spell a word and it did the worbg on
For example. I try to spell scilagon it whould go all weird. I WANT MY SILAGON becuce Our core has no SCILACON (Silacone is gone)
Whatever happened to the XP grants? I've not seen any in the BP since either Season 0 or Season 1
Sillagon is a MINDURSTY term
Why are you talking about a fish?
You mean silicon?
whats mindursty mean?
Uhhh ima show pic and link it
You could just... explain it
Its a sandbox factory based Tower defence
Very fun and complex game
O no i an advertizeing
Mindustry is a factory-building game with tower defense and RTS elements. Create elaborate supply chains to feed ammo into your turrets, produce materials to use for building, and construct units. Command units to capture enemy bases, and expand your production. Defend your core from waves of enemies.Play through the campaign alone or with with ...
$9.99
16150
somewhat like Factorio
Yes
but with more of a pve/towerdefense focus
Ye and more retro looking
Man why this game so dead
It also has a Fungle based Infeections coming out in V8 soon
It also LEARNS to go arounf your defence
The virus is caled Neoplasia
cancer
Its free on google play
idk. Been waiting for unranked arena since launch. They seem to be really against that for some reason.
Honestly, I'm surprised they still have ranked playlists. :3
Maybe we turn it back on
I peger it off
im planning on getting the Series S as a BDay gift in 3 weeks
on the 25th
so i'll be able to do 4 players on infinite
That's a good choice if you don't have the series X already I got both the black and white series S and X
Any skins make the infinite sniper screen green like h3?
should i give my Xbox one to bro when i get the seires
eh ii'll give it to him then (so he can play infinite with me)
i wonder which bungie era game bro'll like best
mabye 3 (coz he originally wanted it for 360 but he cant get it digitally
& that the servrs are down
Not that I know of
that’s a shame ): ty
Had a rather good Gruntpocalypse match.
Diamond Major Grade 3
Platinum Major Grade 3
(Myself) Gold Staff Sargeant Grade 3
Platinum Master Sargeant Grade 2
Was an Immortal Chauffeur
I need to play halo wars 2
In Halo Infinite... is a 129.0 KDA good or bad?
1.29 or 129 lol
Alright so, Trenchbird has a humble cosmetic suggestion to 343i that requires making the Mangler model customizable in Halo Infinite.
Fish Mangler.
Fangler
the fingler
you telling us you die once maybe every 3 matches?
their KD is not 129
I was scrolling through the end of match information
My KD is probably atrocious
Not even sure where to find that
for the match you can have 129 if you're doing firefight
pretty average for firefight
should be easily able to survive the basic firefight without dying and killing 200+ enemies
taking a nap
the devs are taking a nap?
bro i’m trying to get the unity coating
that the pride month one?
yea that’s the best coating ever released
got the whole month to get it
yea but is it normal for the servers to just go offline like this there’s no way
and where’s everyone at
if this was 2007 this server would’ve been popping. times really have changed
give us Halo 3 remastered bro
where are all the soldiers that would play this game
we had real killers on this game bro
Sir, drinkee my slurpee
a 1:1 remaster would go hard though. i’m talking about like only changing the graphics but keeping the gameplay and its mechanics the same. and maybe adding more armor and maps.
2027 will be Halo 3’s 20 year anniversary
halo infinite’s servers are still down
Why we never got a halo 5 port to pc even tho I hated that game
it probably wasn't worth the effort to port it
Honestly not a bad idea
not just campaign but MP as well
Ah, we're in the coping phase of the 3 lifestyle once more.
Even better, putting Halo 5 controls/moveset into Halo CE through Reach.
turns out the servers aren’t down im just banned from xbox lol
I hope The Orville gets another season.
Gonna be real as much as i despise 343, the halo 5 moveset actually looked pretty awesome
It made you feel like an actual supersoldier, rather than a heavily armored floaty-boi.
"Heavily armored"
so that alleged leak actually wasnt the worst thing to hear
understandable, I love halo 3s gameplay but it obviously cant stay like that for every installment
sprint was inevitable
I grew up with the OT.
I have an utter and unflinching loathing of them.
yes and unfortunately Norm passed away
the goo was my favorite character
His character wasn't really that central to the plot and wasn't much of a character short of his uh. Tendency to love a character who liked Isaac instead.
I mean, IMO, Bortus is the best character in the series, though.
omg isaac and claire's relationship was so cringe
Explain how.
he's a robot
That's not an answer, friend.
if it's an ex machina style robot that is okay but isaac is literally a tinfoil can C3PO
That's an entirely incorrect assessment.
go search The Orville Isaac
Redenbacher
Isaac is basically the emotive/diplomatic 'face' of the empire he is a part of, designed to seek and emphasize with nonrobotic life forms.
atleast their relationship was better than Ed and Kellys
He ends up ultimately helping 'humanize' his former (Then regained) empire into working with the good guys of the setting, because of his relationship.
wow spoilers thanks a lot trench
It's broad strokes and a classic Trekkie plot, I apologize for nothing.
I wasn't going to watch it anyway lol
There's a lot of nuance to it that's waaaay more important than the broad strokes I presented, it's actually one of the best pairings and explanations I've seen in fiction in a while.
the definitely not a klingon guy? yeah very funny dude
kinda wish they kept Alara
Yeah you're uh
Kinda letting your lack of actual interest in the show show, my guy.
It's extremely rare that an actual good parent in the event of handling a transgender/intersex character goes. Bortus is presented as a sane, reasonable, and effective parent in handling that situation; An empathetic father figure in a sea of crap ones.
Like, the guy's straight up one of the single best dads in science fiction I've ever seen. Best written, too.
He's been praised as a character for a very, very good reason. You don't see a lot of fictional fathers go to bat to the degree he does to ensure his kid is happy and safe.
He's the only one I can think of who does
Orville is surprisingly well written for a show thar was advertised as a Seth McFarlane Star Trek spoof
I'll admit that I'm getting some super "Star Trek was never political" vibes from this conversation.
i thought it was a parody at first
but it was a nice show. Reminds me of Star Trek Enterprise
That was how it was presented, but it was because McFarlane actually has some really damn good writing chops; He was getting wasted in his prior roles.
The worst/best ST theme song.
Oh yeah McFarlane was literally in Enterprise I think
He's a huge Trekkie.
Orville's very much a love letter to Star Trek-good, bad, and goofy.
I like that song
So did I. Was pleasantly surprised to be wrong
First few episodes I was like "what in the...", then eventually it started being an earworm.
Seasons 2 and 3 is when Orville starts getting super damn good.
I skip it anyway
It was the one I properly got to know so it aleuas stuck with me
I like that launching shuttle bit in the opening
I am still mad they didn't let Gordon have a happy ending in the 21st century
It was for the best.
Loved DS9! I donated to that documentary and stood up in the theatre when the documentary asked at the end for donors to stand. Was so proud.
DS9 is my favorite ST series by far.

Hence why Sisko's also my fave captain, lmao.
Fell in love with characters more because the setting became home.
The man who could live with it.
can't wait for new season of SNW
latest season of Discovery wansn't terrible either
Quark is def my fav DS9 character
I'm slowly getting through Discovery. Started S3, then will do Discovery next.
but I'm tempted to interrupt that for Picard S2
I am not even bothering with Discovery s5
I remember a bunch of Halo fans complaining about how they felt Halo was being more "Star Trek" after 4 and like
I remember being annoyed and confused by it, because like... That's great. That's a sign of a franchise maturing.
Instead of like, wheeee, eternal war
Halo 4 had a straight up Star Trek moment though lol
Nothing wrong with that!
All they need is a ship docking scene that's like 5 straight minutes long.
nope, I loved it
Halo is a military sci fi though and part of Halo is war I don't think anyone would like Halo to be about discovering planets
have you seen Orville?
Star Trek isn't just about that.
DS9 is almost entirely about dealing with war.
and building your own sailboat
solar sailboat*
DS9's about handling war, both before, during, and after; None of it is fun. It's on the frontier and is a bad situation for all involved. Sisko doesn't really deal with finding new worlds.
Political intrigue and warfighting.
I could do without the whole Prophet storyline though tbh
Good morning spartans
Yeaaaah. DS9 is at its best the less prophet stuff it has going on. Everything else is peak.
those episodes just draaaag
yeah the pursuit of prophet isn't good.
I. Am. Truth. The voice of the Covenant
It's almost as though a messianic story archtype is a complete drag in stories that are typically grounded and practical.
(Cough cough looking at you John 117 Cough cough)
going to battle with a pistol and a red shirt
Clip from Deep Space Nine episode "The Siege of AR-558"
Right, extremely goofy and silly Star Trek. Not taking things seriously at all.
hugh-mons
Or the entire episode about a prison camp leader and war criminal on trial for execution.
Or the entire episode about political assassinations. Or the other episode about political assassinations. Or the other, other episode about political assassinations.
Dang, I want to repeat the Halo 3 campaign again
DS9's kinda the first Star Trek series to actually take a pretty deep look at other species looking at humans and realizing that they're waaaay more warlike than the Federation claims it isn't.
Almost all the other species are utterly aghast that humanity's first real use of Nuclear Fission was done exclusively to kill one another.
damn true
"they irradiated their own planet?"
but the Vulcans had their own version before they became logic dummies
which was why they witheld human technology for like 150 years
Hey guys, i've been making some youtube videos with my friend, new to editing but we just thought to share our halo playthrough. Was hoping you all could provide some feedback in dm's or on here on what would make the video better editing/commentary/etc... appreciate it, thanks! https://youtu.be/fycpdJosUFU
Vulcans apparently never went to the point of near-complete nuclear annihilation on their own kind, is the difference.
#1076327824924872755 would be better
it'll get buried here
That's literally the entire canon reason the Federation is a peacenik organization in intent; Humanity bombed itself so bad that the survivors had a dedicated interest in ensuring things never got that bad again.
@hasty zinc thanks for letting me know!
Happy pride month everyone!
That would be cool
I'm still annoyed that we have an entire region of space in canon that'd be perfect for political borderland shenanigans and... It never gets used for anything.
It's literally named the "Joint Occupation Zone", is full of UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios buddy missions who're trying to keep that entire area from being a powder keg 24/7, even has Spartan II Grey Team operating with elites in it, and it's all offscreen.
Need more Arby in Halo 7
Really liked the idea that the humans are the reason why the Andorians Vulcans and uhhh the other one got along
Probably not going to happen; I heard the licensing deal with Arby’s fell through so they can’t use the character anymore without doing more roast beef adverts
No thanks
His role are done
But he hasn't completed his Concert of worlds
The last line is “we have the meats”
I need my crossover comics where sometimes Thel and John work together
like the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, but more hardlight and bullets
I need my comedic body-swap issue where they switch bodies and have to live a month in eachothers' shoes
UNSC Vs Starfleet
I prefer the halo vs star wars ones because i know more about them
“Chief is this the end?”
“No, as long as we have potato cakes we have hope!”
Chief and Arbiter bromance
And Spider-Man is randomly there for some reason
Halo was briefly a Marvel-published comic
I wish it was still
Maybe the last line for Arby, '"Slicing up freshness".
Obi Wan Kenobi Vs Master Chief
Yeah Kenobi wins
I thought his last words were to a spider in hell, tbh.
We already saw it in halo 4
Chief Vs Didact
Didact win
They should for real end this created thing and let the Banished be the main villains now
im kinda sure they wont show up in the next game
That's just bad storytelling.
I'll never understand championing for worse storytelling.
Because bringing back Cortana in the first place was bad storytelling
Nah, it was actually one of the best things 5 did.
Honestly, I'm still glad we never did that stupid original format version of "Chief goes rogue, why!?" plot that HTT hinted at. That would've been awful.
Also, two wrongs don't make a right no matter how you feel about Cortana.
With Cortana finally gone there's no more Guardian stuff and they can focus on space monkeys.
And the universe is the worse for wear for such a move.
A very shortsighted and frustrating move, really.
Banished should have been the main villian after the HCW anyway
Man Leonidas killed so many spartans
And frankly, that made more sense than the Banished do.
They need to get rid of all Smart AIs now
I don't understand why I like a franchise where most of the fans seem to actively want to make the story worse.
I feel like whatevers being said here, trench just says no to, just to be like that
its a lil funny
I favor stronger storytelling and narrative reinforcement over buckling to stubbornly held and woefully inaccurate characterizations, sue me.
Same reason I have a hatred of Halo 3's plot.
Nah i do get that. But I do see potential with the banished. I just hope 343 dont write themselves into a corner again, but thats wishful thinking
I would, if they were reserved to a similar position as Jul's Covenant were; A secondary antagonist.
Their motivations as a faction do not match up with their actions.
AI?
If I correctly remember he killed 74 Spartans IV
finally Cortana is defeated I can use my iPhone
yeah Laconia
That's such a dumb plot point.
which is why I don' like the AI rebellion story
Because... It was poorly handled in the game that poorly handled everything anyways, including the Banished?
UNSC rely so much on Smart AIs for their infustructure and all of that gone because Cortana wants to live longer
You really didn't listen to her goals, did you.
Like, at all.
I mean, i'm not surprised. I'm half convinced that Halo 5 would've needed quadruple the cutscenes to get the goal of Cortana's Created Uprising into people's skulls in a way they'd actually get.
Jedi are so much more vulnerable to UNSC guns than blasters
Not comparable
Actually, i will never once understand why people want a hypothetical Halo 3 where a new villain offscreen kills the Gravemind and is now the new central villain of the franchise.
Halo 5 should have explained more Cortana's motives and changes, the domain scenes should have been illustrated
A lot of Epitaph helps but we needed to see that in-game
I honestly think shoehorning the Didact into some of those decisions was a poor call.
Catharsis
I don't think undermining a game's plot is a good narrative choice.
I don't think it does
yeah but he uses the force and chokes chief
No.. John isn't even choked and there is no force
Because also uh
This is kinda what Halo Infinite is.
It's a hypothetical act 3 that decapitates the true big bad of the second game offscreen and has all new enemies.
Forerunner warrior servants have constraint fields. They're very useful in many ways including manipulating, immobilizing and also creating pressurized bubbles to help survive in space
Peace after a war against extermination? nah let's have AI's destroy your entire fleet and subdue your colonies 💀
They didn't, first of all.
Second of all, the UNSC's grasp was tenuous on its remaining colonies.
Third of all, the war against extermination is irrelevant to the Created short of political implications on border worlds right now.
If anything, the fact the freaking Banished, of all things, was a draw to former UEG colonies is an incredibly questionable narrative stance.
The Created were at least benevolent in intent instead of being barbaric slaving despots like the Banished are in truth.
yes Imperial peace by destroying you if you don't agree 😵💫 ... I would have preferred if the banished or covie remnants were the main villians. Atleast now there is whatever the endless are
Oh, no, the destruction is only if you keep disagreeing.
Violently and aggressively.
The galaxy wasn't in this quiet peace, there were a lot of forces and factions at work
Also, it is absolutely adorable to think the Banished would be any better than the Created if you said no to them.
Oh yeah because having planet subjugating Guardians and ordering you to stand down gives you so much choice
The Created might kill a few of your guys. Might put you in chains or take your world from you at worst.
The Banished will use you as rations. Slaves. Resources.
Literally half the bosses you kill in Infinite who are Banished aligned literally lead slaver gangs.
One's a gilded cage. The other is a barbed cage.
That's more interesting than the created imo
Weird opinion. I find it boring and generic.
343 wanted humanity be knocked down again but they did it way too much by destroying everything
At least 5 did it in a way that was interesting. Flotillas of UNSC ships on the run trying to find resources and allies. It's a different back foot than old school Halo.
Instead of Infinite where everything's just screwed up forever, I guess.
How?
In infinite the Infinity gets destroyed
Right now we don't even know if the UNSC still exists
that's like saying why are there noobs in mcc
Infinity was kind of the ace in the hole, and all other fleet assets are unmentioned or unaccounted for versus before where we knew they had a flotilla working around and with the Infinity.
the only other ship that still works is the Panama that shows up on some maps
We know they still go around and do things, but we also know they don't have anything to really keep that fleet going as a central figure anymore. It comes across as shortsightedly done and hopeless unless they have some serious plot contrivances offscreen.
that Banished ship rammed it on the bridge and another one centre mass im pretty sure it should be broken atleast in half
We don't know what all of the UNSC assets are but i think probably shouldnt start thinking they're gone...
I dunno, I'd count mission killed when you lack the industrial base to actually repair the damn thing pretty well and destroyed. Personally.
Also, this.
watch them use forerunner magic to repair the infinity
Considering the vocabulary that is CAREFULLY chosen to avoid the word DESTROYED
it's no accident and it's safe to say infinity is not blown up
Oh, no, I know the vocabulary.
I also think that is not something that should ever be lauded in a million years but instead considered almost offensively poor writing.
There's elements of Infinite I think are fine. I'm not about to give it the benefit of the doubt for what it does poorly, which it does early and often.
This is like when people wre like 'didact is dead he's gone forever' when 343 was careful with the vocabulary too
Hated it then too.
i was annoyed at people
Ugh. Looking at this screengrab actually makes me mildly annoyed.
Before there was the infinity there were still fleets..
they just duct taped it back together
Someone research Harmonious Digestion
Oh, I fully expect them to pull an entire ghost fleet from hammerspace. I thought I mentioned that earlier, but I guess I deleted that message to say something else.
It's not from out of nowhere unless we'd know they wouldnt have any left
I'm not someone to go "Oh well how could they eeeeever get around this narrative issue", I just expect it to be done with the same quality and care as much of Infinite's story so far.
I'd personally would have liked if the multiplayer story had continued
Same. I was more interested in that than the actual campaign.
then the banished were salvaging the infinity, and the academy spartans were sent to retake the infinity
Would've been a nice twist.
After the academy gets attacked and repelled
🤷♂️ Oh well!
Also the created are still around but much more fractured
We definitely need more stories of that
have a couple dozen Huragoks, they will fix the infinity in no time!
I really don't mind them being knocked down a few pegs, I just think Infinite's results went way too damn hard against them and pumped the Banished up way too much.
I think they'll make the infinity look like a loaf of bread with a giant bite taken out of it.
Like, sure, some Guardians. Maybe. But all the Guardians?
What I want to see is the positive work of the created, rehabilitating worlds etc
or at least seeing that in progress
Plus, more on the executors too
I'm sorry I'm still like, floored over earlier. When people were saying that they'd rather be under Banished rule than Created.
Like, yeah, both suck, but like
One's clearly the worse option here. We know one won't kill you because it was having a bad day, or you looked at it funny.
Because Banished doesn't have forerunner technology to subjugate the entire galaxy?
What did you think they wanted a whole ring for, exactly? Picnics?
new homeworld
Ark and halo, new homeworld
Right, a homeworld that is also literally having a gun pointed to the head of the universe forever, for all time.
Sounds a lot like galactic subjugation via Forerunner tech to me.
And unlike the Created, the Banished wouldn't be nice about things.
I mean compared to the created that means every story now has to be based around it since you can't have warships anymore because it's unpeaceful and mean
Halos can be deweaponized technically too
They can, but I don't think Zeta was.
There is so much narrative wiggle room in how the Created run things, as Outcasts directly shows.
The Created subjugate, disarm, and share. The Banished enslave, destroy and despoil.
I dont think the Banished micromanage as much as the Created
Yeah Vale and Arbiter tried finding a guardian destroying weapon but failed anyway
They don't. But they also won't eat you.
Or rip off your arm and laugh as you squirm and bleed out.
We can't have any other conflicts because Cortana will just end it
but she is ded now
I mean, we know that's not true. Half the problem the Created were running into before Cortana died was having too many fires to put out because they didn't have enough Guardians.
or is she. DUN DUN DUN

But yeah like, you had terrorists blowing stuff up on Sanghelios, you had ships trying to take guns to Guardians-two Guardians were dead nearly half a year before Cortana croaked.
A whole battle was waged on Reach and was entirely over with by the time Cortana showed up to stop it.
There were multiple resource and objective raids done on inner colonies that were under Created control, too.
Cat and mouse
Yep. The UNSC was in asymetrical warfare mode. They were a flotilla of guerrillas.
I would guess that the created took over a lot of the UNSC military assets including ships
That's how you write around a Created conflict.
stealth condor everytime
Owls
I mean, the Infinity spearheaded those ops, and I wouldn't exactly call a quartet of Series 8's "Stealthy".
What cutie patooties.
But yeah-I figured that's what Infinite's campaign would be, actually
Stealthy UNSC insert op goes horribly wrong, Chief gets humbled. The marines and such were the original Zeta Halo garrison on the run from Banished forces.
now it's completely stealth since we don't know where it is
I have a guess.
UNSC should have stealths ships now like Romulan ships so they can avoid created
They were working on a type of stealth
Not to forerunners
dude not even ancient weapon that can destroy guardians spotted the cloaked Owl vale was in
I'm surprised they haven't reversed engineered covenant tech for their vehicles
The Long Night of Solace:
"Am I joke to you?"
Uh, Swords of Sanghelios Warthog; Plasma Rhino; Mulsanne Class Light Laser Frigate; etc etc
they have but they still use pea shooter guns
like the MA5
I mainly meant with floating like ghosts for example
thats too unhuman
humans invented the wheel
no one else knows what it is
like SPI cloak is better than Elite cloak apaprently
Small scale is different than large scale. The Covenant have displayed FAR superior cloaking tech on a large scale (THANKS REACH).
I wish they would’ve added the DMR to infinite cause the bandit sucks
I keep holding the left button thinking the bandit is gonna go pew pew pew
they're pretty similar
They should bring back railgun
Who you guys think is gonna win HCS tomorrow
Imo either faze or space station
when does the stream start like 3 in the morning?
So here's a question, are we getting art like this for Pride Month this year?
Also happy Pride Month everyone
Usually I believe is mainly due to the Cole Protocol preventing reverse engineered technology from being properly utilized or the state of the war prevented them from being mass produced.
Some got lost like the prototype suit and only it's combat data was salvaged. Others were kept in high security in fear of tracking or constant study by ONI, planets that held sufficient resources were lost to Glassing.
It was during the post war that we started to see some progress albeit very little and what is allowed to or not.
Yeah Spartan Laser and that's it.
Even though it's just a game, lore wise those lasers aren't really cheap to produce.
Splaser isn't reverse engineered Covie tech, it's firing a proper laser beam, not plasma
I miss the spartan laser from h5 like its end game variant
They became cheaper
Covenant do use lasers too
UNSC just need those planet destroying lasers the ancestors used to wipe out Flood infested planets
Yeah at least since it was developed early in the war. But the UNSC are still a ways away from switching ammo to lasers in all soldiers weapons.
Not that we want to Series to go Star Wars anytime soon.
I remember that spine tingling feeling when I first encountered the flood in ce lol
Nothing beats surviving a Alien Zombie attack than with a good old fashioned Shotgun.
hello
I guess I forgot about that channel. Thanks


Why is the grunt holding the two flags so cute
drops are live
thanks for the heads up rev
Shop items as drops?
And dragon ball charms
Was a promo item before
I can imagine they can be in the Exchange in the next operation or so.
But it’s a shop item now
Watch HCS so you don’t have to earn an awful lot of Spartan points.
Coatings look like some 300 credit one that already happened
and that shop item is mostly locked due to some people only having 1 coating from that set from the promo
They couldn’t fix it by now?
I don't think drops are live for anyone
I was wrong
one of the people working at 343 said today's drops should give all 3 days worth instantly, I can't find the tweet though
So you’ll change your tag to ‘wrong event?’
yup
guys what is the most popular mode in halo infinite i cant find a sigle game in quick play
It's early so most people might not be on
but the most populated would be probably be firefight and quickplay
Grunt smashing mode
i think BTB will be the fastest mode after the match composer is added. so many people quit you just get joined into random games
Games are a bit sweaty, which i mean thats how "pros" do it lol
Optin wins
dangit i was hoping for SSG, i want that infinite series x lol
just don't reply till the grand finals
Formal just says it how it is. Lot of respect for SSG I guess
the codes in chat are PC only, nice.
idk how you even get them
if i put one in, it promts a £0 payment and my bank asks for verification
and spamming my account with £0 payments sounds like a good way to get it locked
since it fails to go through if someone else's payment processes faster
it basically only works if you already have active gamepass
its started
There'll be no proof you ever won that match from 6+ years ago
Wouldn’t that just be infinite with worse hit detection
i got one by changing my payment method to paypal. they are actually ultimate codes
oh well. ultimate isnt that much anyway.
Is it for a free month?
yes
i think the only way you can get them is with paypal payment method. its only valid if you dont have a subscription and the card verification payment takes too long
the first code i tried with paypal linked worked tho so i dont think it's too hard to nab them
any criminal activities going on here
Please no roleplaying.
Im not role-playing
Your name is HIPD Officer, you made a clan recruitment post earlier, you ask about criminal activities, and you're NOT roleplaying?
Why is it always on a Sunday ...
Headache Sunday
Sunday Funday? lol
Is it just boredom?
one last goof off day before school on monday
school is ending soon, the youngsters have feral energy.
Caught red handed 😂😂
Nah huh

Dam I've been caught
not a very good officer huh?
I know 🥲

definitely not under cover..
under cover of night
I have my military police badge from the Army, does that count?
nope
I guess
well, not here i mean haha
Oh nvm
no no i didnt give tickets, that was the air force
31B is the code for Military Police for the Army
Real
we did PTT in Iraq and Detaintee Ops on another deployment.
you could have lol were you in Cob Spiecher around 2008-2009?
Nah, I was in Mosul in '09 and Basrah in '11
Oh, yeah darn lol

it looks like we were only 230km from each other in '09 lol tikrit and mosul arent that far apart.
Nope, I remember hearing about Tikrit while up there
ive noticed a lot of people being generally lame in the twitch chat, especially trying to insult the mods. crazy
jokes on them i get to bully them back
Anyone here get their armor coatings finally?
automod doing its job and people getting puffy about it
im at 75%
I'm at 85%
I’m around there. 68% last I checked
This old S1 image is still true to this day
Is anyone else dealing with an unreasonable amount of lag as of late
drops not enabled yet?
40%, hope I have enough time
When the fallout armor dropping?
lol its not even showing up for me
You have time. We still have Elim finals then grand finals to watch
Are you on mobile?
desktop
They should be on
i left the tab open and went to do something else
Might need to refresh
then i check its not even showing progress bar in the inventory tab
That’s def odd. Maybe sign out of twitch and back in? I’d check on mobile to see if they show there
what drops are live. is it day 1 & 2 stuff or day 3?
All are live
You can get all 3 days of stuff by watching today
now its showing up but 1% 😒
guess I should have checked it was working before doing other things lol
lesson learnt
The intermissions between games are long, you should be ok
watch the stream dies and I never get it

Anybody missing their harvest dusk coatings too? From Twitch drops
Known issue
If it was from day 1 and day 2 that has issues
and if you did it all on day 3 then it has no issues
I’m at 98% for today, so I’m gonna check as soon as I claim them
Presumably it should be fixed soon
So long as I get my Adrenal AR I'm good
So got to watch again ?
No you just gotta wait on a fix
I imagine they’re trying to fix whatever is going on
Okay thanks
Samurai cool
Armor core based on knight when
I do wonder what the next core will be considering still 1 podium left
a knight core would be amazing
But depends if 343 wanna do another fracture
1 left? they can't add another?
i mean they could but right now we can only see 1 more podium that's not got a core yet
Can confirm I have the harvest dusk coating now
Banished themed core
already in game
And right now for likely cores could be Orion,hellbringer,helljumper,mark vi gen 1, and for fractures i would say a knight core
would like a templar based core
