[ocean herald]

Apparently you can still matchmake in the halo reach demo? And halo 4 is still playable online but loadouts/commendations don’t work

[candid solar]

I always thought that was dumb tbh.

[obsidian wyvern]

if it was just campaign I was on about, reach would probably be lower

[candid solar]

Like, not everything needs an explanation.

'Yeah the skirmishers nearly died out'

You're telling me you dedicated so much of a subspecies that you nearly wiped them out in one campaign?

[vapid siren]

gents

is there much art of elites and humans being chill during a peace time bit

[candid solar]

Halo Spartan Strike is better than Halo 3

[obsidian wyvern]

I think I just saw someone drawing that one sec

[candid solar]

Not really, no.

[vapid siren]

i stfg if its smut

i need like regular art

[obsidian wyvern]

ffs whilst searching for it I accidentally ended up on THAT SIDE of twitter

[vapid siren]

[candid solar]

I don't get it. Ibie'Shan jackals are much cuter.

Lil hyena lizard bird things.

[lapis ivy]

Sounds pretty ironic for a kig yar subspecies to nearly die out due a battle but I guess that's how the cookie crumbles lol

[candid solar]

Not really ironic so much as just goofy.

The kneejerk part of me always gets annoyed at Halo 4 slander until I remember how much it randomly seemed to lose.

And that I actually don't like 4 that much outside of things you really only get in 4.

Then I remember how annoyed I am that it wasn't an Xbox One launch title.

[obsidian wyvern]

that line is a joke, I just don't like playing the game idk why. it's not fun to me

it's got a lot i like that's only in halo 4 though

[lapis ivy]

Somehow I find the banished to be a Goofy bunch lol the way they insult each other

But cool at the same time

[ocean herald]

So much happens offscreen between 5 and the start of infinite that I personally struggle liking the banished. I also don’t get some of the recent lore additions regarding some humans joining up with them

[candid solar]

That's honestly one of the biggest reasons my opinion is so heavily soured to the Banished and Infinite in general.

@vapid siren what sort of pic were you specifically looking for

[livid oyster]

H3 the goat

[vapid siren]

just like an image of humans and elties chilling in some capacity

[candid solar]

I can render them frozen to death or something idk

[vapid siren]

a version of them not killing each other NOR fighting something else

[candid solar]

Lock Arbiter in a deep freezer in an Arby's

[lapis ivy]

Like atriox that accepts in humans and the like is the swords of sanghelios only composed of elites or does the arbiter do the same?

[vapid siren]

listen here bucko

[candid solar]

Arbiter's forces comprise of a mix of elites, grunts, jackals, and hunters.

maybe brutes, I think he had a few on staff before Jul formed his new Covenant.

[vapid siren]

the CLOSEST art ik of is this one and even that is combat focused

trying to see if there was ever art of them legit vibin

[candid solar]

Here comes the Trenchbird angry at cut Infinite stuff

[vapid siren]

silence

[lapis ivy]

Lol

[ocean herald]

Like drinking some beers? Playing Xbox?

[vapid siren]

in a sense

[lapis ivy]

There's a little bit of good and bad of every species in a way

[signal wedge]

Yeah man I really hate those traitors

[lapis ivy]

I mean you got every faction the banished,swords of sanghelios, covenant whatever's left of them ofc

[signal wedge]

im going to send this again https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/svk0by/palmer_and_elite_from_halo_5_that_one_lleite_who/

[lapis ivy]

I always found both kig yar and unngoy to be the goofiest species mostly the grunts lol

[vapid siren]

no

[signal wedge]

Interspecies relationship!

they might not be compatible physically but emotionally yes

[signal wedge]

the grunts are funny

but they are also dumb and annoying

[lapis ivy]

Pretty clumsy too

Grunts are almost like children

Lol

[signal wedge]

plasma nades loving numb nuts. I have died a few times to them trying to melee them

[lapis ivy]

Yeah they pretty love exploding like fiesta pinatas with nades

[signal wedge]

I am so bad at infinite

[lime vine]

Anyone else having an issue with masterchief collection where if you switch tabs the game tab dissapears?

[lapis ivy]

Infinite reminds me of odst and reach with dying so easily well halo 2 also with getting back smacked by elites and brutes

[signal wedge]

the charging brutes are so scary

[lapis ivy]

They're actually pretty cool to add in forge I had so much fun with AI

I'm just disappointed that sentinels don't exist in forge

[signal wedge]

guys how to call friendly aliens in firefight

[lapis ivy]

At first I wasn't sure how to spawn them in forge and found that you had to build navigation mesh it's going to be hard for me to call those guys in firefight of my own

[obsidian wyvern]

there were no humans I was wrong

I love his art though

[rare cedar]

the split photo goes hard

[signal wedge]

not sure why they are called hinge heads

[candid solar]

Anyone got any ideas for a slice of life render for Halo?

I'm thinking of one of the following but I'm open to ideas.

• Engineers (as in human engineers) fixing an Onager, in a field full of Onagers that are also being fixed

• A few Marines working on putting a tire back on a Warthog while a Spartan helps lift the Warthog in lieu of a jackstand

• A Spartan in damaged armor taking night watch over a few marines on Zeta Halo

[signal wedge]

Spartan Jackstand

a Spartan and an SoS unggoy playing chess

[obsidian wyvern]

last one sounds like something I'd have liked to see in the campaign

[signal wedge]

Nina Kovan

[candid solar]

I was just going to go with a nondescript Spartan in a desert with the ringbreak visible in the background.

Nowhere near where Chief and co were.

IDK, I've had a lot of good ideas that kinda fizzled out and I need to redress. Another was Tanaka standing guard outside of a large tent where you see Locke on a gurney.

[winter flame]

i wouldnt mind remakes of first three Gears games. Kinda like the gameplay improvements in 4/5

[signal wedge]

remake of Battlefield 2142

[normal owl]

I like the tire change. It tells a great story of the Haloverse in one slice:

• The fabled supersoldier is fulfilling their service to humanity and fellow soldiers in a humble but practical way and does not consider it beneath them.
• The inarguable difference between them isn't causing friction: it's simply being utilized to fix a problem at hand.
• They don't disappear when the spotlight turns off; they continue to deal with everyday challenges even if those aren't plot-worthy.

I really like that one as an audience. Great concept!

[candid solar]

Mundane utility of superpowers is always a neat touch in fiction, IMO. Makes the world feel more lived in.

[heady oasis]

[obsidian wyvern]

iswtg if they announce a halo ce remake I'm gonna lose it

[signal wedge]

nah. Call of duty black ops 10

[obsidian wyvern]

there couldn't be a worse way to go

[heady oasis]

Anyone need help with laso I will change the campaigns I do

[fickle drift]

but if they are remaking ce again on unreal then it could mean halo 2 and halo 3 remakes

[obsidian wyvern]

i don't want more remakes, give me new stuff

[neat pumice]

Im both scared and exited for what might be announced, yet again, it could also be a big nothing burger

[analog knot]

Anniversary Remake 2: Electric Boogaloo

[obsidian wyvern]

instead of making a whole new game, fix up MCC

[fickle drift]

what if the new stuff ends up like infinite? you still want new stuff

[neat pumice]

Halo 2 anniversary 2

[obsidian wyvern]

wdym ends up like infinite

[signal wedge]

Halo 4 remake

[fickle drift]

bad

[analog knot]

Creating a new game before fixing MCC is kind of their thing lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

I liked infinite for the most part

[neat pumice]

It was alr, it was just very rough around the edges

Needed some sandpaper, a few bug fixes, and still needs some now

[fickle drift]

I don't think infinite has had a least 1 month of no complaints, when the content is good, the servers weren't, and when the servers did work, the content was questionable and bad

[neat pumice]

Yeah, that was really funny, they got it playable and nothin was there to play

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm not gonna pretend like it was all good

[neat pumice]

Also, I keep gettin this bug on infinite where when loading into a match, it only plays the intro cutscene then bans me for 10 mins when the game ends?

[fickle drift]

guys I have a big brain idea, what if ms tells 343 you wont be able to push game updates after the game has launched, forcing them to release a mostly bug free game that works, like how halos back on 360 just worked with no major updates

[neat pumice]

That might just work

[fickle drift]

im going to feed my guinea pig now

[fickle drift]

where is best place to watch xbox live stream that isnt 56 minutes behind another stream

[obsidian wyvern]

twitch

[rare cedar]

they’re streaming the event on twitch and YouTube

[obsidian wyvern]

their new mobile UI is so bad though

[fickle drift]

what was that streaming site ms bought and killed

[obsidian wyvern]

mixer

[fickle drift]

they should have their own website for all the products they have killed like google does

[normal nova]

When I downloaded MCC on Xbox, download speeds were a lot quicker (10 mbps). Now I’m trying to download it on my lenovo legion but it’s a lot slower (1 mbps). How do I maximise Wi-Fi speed when downloading things on laptops via the Xbox app

[fickle drift]

https://tenor.com/view/usb連接線-wire-cable-connector-gif-14764217

huh i typed in ethernet cable and it shows me some funky looking printer cable

[normal nova]

I don’t have long enough Ethernet cables 😔

But it’s a good idea definitely, I’ll look into it thanks

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/usb連接線-wire-cable-connector-gif-14764217

bruh

[normal nova]

I tried it by putting my laptop close to the router and plugging it in from there but the speed is still the same

[fickle drift]

blame xbox app its always slow

[normal nova]

Fair point lol

[fickle drift]

i get 650mbs on steam, then xbox app is like "hurr durr here ur is your 7mbs sir"

[normal nova]

I’ve noticed that a process called service host is using most of the network, is there a way for optimisation to let the network be used for other apps instead? Or is service host important?

[normal nova]

650? What nasa-computer-level Wi-Fi are you on? 💀💀💀💀

[fickle drift]

1gig came to road

i pointed at the page and said
plz mommy this one, this one mommy, we need this

and she said ok

[spiral nacelle]

I'm gonna say something kinds controversial.

I don't understand the appeal of The Bungie Halo Games.

[fickle drift]

you dont like Bungie jumping?

[spiral nacelle]

No, the Bungie Halo Games

[normal nova]

Huh why

[spiral nacelle]

Honestly that'd be a cool nickname for Bungie Employees

[normal nova]

They’re the best shooter games ever made

[spiral nacelle]

The only 2 I like are ODST and Reach.

[fickle drift]

did u play them when they came out or super late

[spiral nacelle]

Late. But I understand the limitations. The Halo 2 Crunch etc

[fickle drift]

coz most people dont like old games unless they played them when they came out

poeple tel me to go back and play mario and all these amazing games people tell me about, then i play them, and im like wtf is this and stop

[spiral nacelle]

And I honestly liked Halo 4's Multiplayer more than Reach's

Campaign was fire tho. Played it like 4 or 5 times over.

Halo 4's Campain was meh

[hasty zinc]

sorry have to take away my clap emoji

[bold sparrow]

DENIED

[hasty zinc]

you were doing so well too 😦

[spiral nacelle]

Halo Reach Campaign > Halo Reach Multiplayer.

[fickle drift]

hello bizz did you play buzzlight year game on ps1

[granite sky]

i wouldve liked 4s multip more but i didnt enjoy the look or the sound of it. esp of certain guns. it's generally fun to mess around in though with the abilities

[safe dawn]

Ngl if i leak my ranking if the halo games here im going to get crucified

[spiral nacelle]

Idk who made the Halo 4 DMR Sound but I'd take them to a 5 Star Steak Dinner prepared by Gordon Ramsey.

[fickle drift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJSGu4KB33g&themeRefresh=1

[spiral nacelle]

Same

[granite sky]

it's balanced out with the h4 BR sound

[spiral nacelle]

Oh that was terrible. You're super right.

[safe dawn]

Eh screw it, i like chaos

1. Infinite
2. Halo 5
3. Halo 4
4. Reach
5. Halo 3 ODST
6. Halo 2
7. Halo 3
8. Halo CE

[spiral nacelle]

Honesly swap halo 4 and 5 with reach an odst that's my ranking. Swap around halo 2 and 3 aswell

[fickle drift]

nice list, most hated to mosted liked

[safe dawn]

I like the 343 games more than the bungie games lol

[spiral nacelle]

SAME FR

[candid solar]

My clan tag is something about porting Halo 5 to PC

[spiral nacelle]

Bro everyone hated Halo 5 why would they port it to PC?

[candid solar]

Define 'everyone'

It's my second favorite, and it'd be the favorite if it had forge AI and Infinite's graphics options.

[floral pollen]

I honestly haven't played H5, partly bc its not on PC
Since I don't feel bothered to learn controller for it

[candid solar]

Honestly, the FOV is a bigger issue to me. I can't play games through a damn paper towel tube.

[spiral nacelle]

Halo Fans used to hate Halo 5. Yeah it was good but a lot of peopke hated it.

[candid solar]

I played original Reach a month or two back and I'm nauseated by the motion blur and FoV, lmao.

[hasty zinc]

I've never hated Halo 5

[meager linden]

Halo MCC legendary difficulty almost finished
Only left Halo 2 and ODST

[candid solar]

Well, yeah, it's an underrated and overhated game, that's kinda the problem.

[meager linden]

Because of 343 development it, not bungie💀

If bungie developed it, maybe it would be a great game

[hasty zinc]

lol

lmao even

[analog knot]

One of the best changes in MCC was the accidental removal of that awkward blur filter over everything (forget what its really called) - its a shame they silently added it back in without a toggle 😦

[fickle drift]

If it was identical but with a Bungie sticker on it I'd still not like it.

Reach doesn't get a pass because of Bungo logo.

[candid solar]

Oh, I hate it sooo much.

[analog knot]

Loved playing Reach without it though. So much better.

And for reference I hit Inheritor twice when it was the current title, so Ive played a ton of reach.

[candid solar]

It's better with a higher FOV at least.

I think the combo was what made it truly intolerable to me.

[meager linden]

Does anyone have good tips for Halo 2 legendary difficulty?
I'm going crazy with those elites at the beginning

[fickle drift]

Watch a good guide.

[analog knot]

Noob combo (plasma pistol) ezpz

[pliant hatch]

it's actually a bug.

The blooming effect around light sources is larger than in the original release of Halo: Reach.

unless you meant motion blur

[fickle drift]

the was the grain effect added over a reach which made it less clear, should be a toggle imo

[pliant hatch]

oh, that

[candid solar]

Yes the motion blur

[candid solar]

Don't die

[shadow stratus]

so whats the predictions for the new halo game showing in 10 minutes

[pliant hatch]

If you're just trying to finish it then use acrophobia, bandana, and scarab until the tartarua fight

if they do indeed show ce on unreal then tom warren earns my trust as a creadible source 💩

I meant that as in they won't be lmao

Genuinely, I'd prefer no news over that CE rumour.

[fickle drift]

why

I'll take entering the biggest gap between announcements in the franchise's history over that being real.

[shadow stratus]

honestly id want to see what 343 would do with unreal

Let's hope they do it properly this time

[hasty zinc]

yeah I may actually play it now

Can’t believe they waited until now to give us more then 2 ranked playlists at a time

Can’t have been that hard to put the ranked playlists under a sub menu when they designed the UI

At this point I’d just get rid of ranked slayer and add bandits slayer to quick play

Armored Core?

[worldly badger]

ok this japanese game looks interesting

[fickle drift]

japanese like their robots and vending machines

[steady jolt]

We need an updated one, but Microsoft is not the biggest one out there. More people should be throwing shade at Embracer, if anything

[worldly badger]

They really embraced every industry

[fickle drift]

Seems like Ubisoft and Rockstar might as well be removed from that chart seeing as its jsut their own companies

T2 i mean

[steady jolt]

I don't think I can count how many studios Embracer dropped recently

[cedar turret]

New perfect dark looks interesting, but I still feel a bit burned by zero

Also a little worried they’re putting mirror’s edge mechanics in it cause that never worked right for me

[worldly badger]

New Metro game?

nvm

[fickle drift]

a value/size of each company version of this chart would be useful
like activision/blizzard under ms alone would probably be worth 15-20 companies from another side

[elfin glacier]

hmm, i think one additional axis of info that would be interesting would be individual studio size

also lol ubisoft is 90% ubisoft

[fickle drift]

t2 is 90% rockstar

[elfin glacier]

as in studio names

[cedar turret]

New LIS too

[elfin glacier]

lis needs braces

the trailer for BO6 looked so cool though

i just hope the game is gonna be as good

I would get game pass to complete the campaign

[hollow sparrow]

[worldly badger]

if its any good

[hollow sparrow]

its been like 3 years

[meager linden]

As expected no halo
Welp
At least we can play MCC and Infinite
So wait until the next showcase?

[tawdry maple]

aaand apparently we're not getting new halo :(

there are 3 games i wanted them to showcase really bad

[worldly badger]

not even a halo infinite trailer Sadge

[obsidian wyvern]

thank god they didn't reveal a CE game

[tawdry maple]

doom, halo and silksong

and unfortunately it was only doom

the new game looks really cool though, the shield is probably gonna be really fun to use

[bold sparrow]

Least MS makes games that aren't mobile aimed for the most part. Freakin' Tencent...

[fickle drift]

Yeah Doom looked sick.
I'm glad they're wilding with it.

[worldly badger]

doom in an old age setting looks cool

[elfin glacier]

don't worry the super duper trustworthy leakers will move those goalposts

[tawdry maple]

and the way doom slayer's armor looks 😩

[bold sparrow]

Wait Tencent owns Miniclip? Is that why their website broke?
Man I remember Miniclip...good times back in like, the early 2000s

[worldly badger]

miniclips was the school computer site lol

[pallid quest]

Yeah can’t wait for what they say

[tawdry maple]

on the other hand, i have more time to git gud and beat other games on legendary kek

(it probably was a bad idea to start a halo ce legendary playthrough with no experience)

[bold sparrow]

It is. E-Day was the Locust's surprise first strike on the humans that started the Locust War.
If I remember the old lore, they killed 2/3rds of all humans on Sera in one fell swoop.

[glacial grove]

Honestly the games showcase was cool, but it’s kind of sad to see halo doing absolutely nothing beyond the occasional operations in infinite filled with cosmetics and sticking with no other games beyond the mainline titles

there’s so much potential for this franchise they could tap into, but they just aren’t even doing anything with it at all, and it’s so depressing to see

maybe next year we’ll see a W

[elfin glacier]

"uhhh actually its been delayed but it's totally real guys trust us"

[bold sparrow]

Games been out for 3 years. They're probably waiting for a quieter point.
If they released or revealed something NOW they'd get instantly ignored and swallowed by the gigantic Garfield-like cat in the room of Final Shape

[obsidian wyvern]

I think they said it was really early, no one said it was gonna show up today

[worldly badger]

They need other studios working on the Halo IP so much potential

[elfin glacier]

deeeeeeeeeeeeeeenph

[bold sparrow]

Did you use some fancy linking to get around the game site blocker or did you not have them on yours?

[indigo lotus]

Looking forward on these new games including the new Doom, Perfect Dark and Indiana Jones.

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm in denial anyway siege

[hasty zinc]

perfect dark looks incredible

so does IJ and MSFS

[fickle drift]

Perfect Dark could be good, really depends on the story and level design

I'm just happy we saw it at all lol

[steady jolt]

They are working on other projects, but it's too early to be sharing information about them right now. Things will absolutely change between now and any announcements

[pallid quest]

“Believe me, my source from my brothers friends sisters uncle dad’s son coach formers roommate wouldn’t lie to me about the leaks guys”

[worldly badger]

you could download offline versions of the website games on a usb

[bold sparrow]

I just hope they get E-Day right.
we've KIND of seen bits of it, with some of the DLC for 3 and elsewhere, but its hasnt really had its own unique feeling just yet.

And I dont consider the opening of 4 to be canon considering they completely retconned the entirity of Aspho Fields (which, while dont like Karen Traviss, I have to admit wasnt a BAD book)

[hexed geyser]

should i get MCC On Xbox

[indigo lotus]

Hope one day a new Banjo-Kazooie and Conker entry. (If they decide to)

[bold sparrow]

I swear if I see a Gear running around with an MK II Lancer in E-Day Im going to have issues with the Coalition.
The MK II happened well into a year later, because the MK Is bayonet kept breaking on Locust hide.

Tai Kaliso used a hobby saw on a Grub in front of Marcus and Marcus went "hey that works"
Then told his dad and his dad had the MK II designed.

[elfin glacier]

they're working on a pvpvpveve battle royale extraction shooter rts mmo sim with forge mechanics made in source with a CE remake for PlayStation 6 😤

wow cod is actually innovating

[elfin glacier]

i see you that and raise you the unbeatable "it came to me in a dream"

[cloud tundra]

“If we lose our way with Halo, we’ve lost our way with Xbox”

[worldly badger]

Xbox is putting full effort to gamepass now

[bronze breach]

They posted an article on about it on xbox news site.

[elfin glacier]

• Phil "I ❤️ Destiny" Spencer, giving the interviewer a nice soundbyte that isn't a policy or something

[pallid quest]

Touché sir very well played

[bold sparrow]

Good thing Destiny's dead now. Final Shapes done, on to Marathon.

[elfin glacier]

which may or may not be dead

[fickle drift]

does Marathon have single player

[gloomy pond]

There will be more seasons in D2

[bold sparrow]

Long suffering Warlock sigh
Of course there will be...

[cloud tundra]

Destiny 2 will have more sagas

[worldly badger]

Changing hud in cod cool

Call me when one of them is "Ikora finally has enough to do with the Hive on the Moon and summons enough Sunsingers to scortch it to bedrock."

[obsidian wyvern]

three hundreeeeeed

[cloud tundra]

The price to pay with Cod Hub

[molten hare]

im just going to call it Cod Black ops 6 is going to be bad

[fickle drift]

tree hundred is bigger than my first ssd

[worldly badger]

I hope you can choose to not install campaign if you just want multiplayer, I am sure like 60% of that file size or more is campaign

[bold sparrow]

They realllyyy dont want you playing anything BUT COD these days, seems.
Good thing I have a 5 TERABYTE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE!
My brick of a consol has a SMALLER BRICK taped too it.

[cloud tundra]

Microsoft did and spent a LOT to get CoD and Activision

[tawdry maple]

final shape? like, the destiny 2 dlc?

[cloud tundra]

They’re going to do a lot of marketing for it

[molten hare]

not halo in showcase 😦

[bold sparrow]

The one that just released and literally had someone loose his fiancee of 4 years over, yes.

[cloud tundra]

They’re going to want everyone playing CoD of course

[tawdry maple]

thats crazy

[elfin glacier]

i wonder if snoy will keep destiny going

[molten hare]

i mean 343 is just in eary stages but damn

[pallid quest]

Not having halo in this showcase is a crime though

[tawdry maple]

i still have to buy it though 😭

[worldly badger]

Cod replaced halo as Microsoft's top IP

[cloud tundra]

The issue is more so a worry

[fickle drift]

legit i dont even see people talking about halo anymore, unless someone is complaining about it, sad times

[bold sparrow]

His fault. He thought he could make Worlds First.
Of course your not going to make Worlds First. No one but human-chair hybrids make worlds first.

And as such he wasnt there for his fiancee when she was having a bad time (lots of stress atop everything else)
And so she called it off.

TBH I wouldnt marry someone who plays Desinty with that kind of devotion anyway so maybe she dodged a bullet

[cloud tundra]

A worry about confidence with its future with the new child in the family (CoD) and Halo having problems

[fickle drift]

ZOMBIES

[tawdry maple]

i like destiny 2 but i could never be THAT devoted to the game 😭 like sure its fun but no way id choose it over my fiancee (even though i dont have one yet)

[bold sparrow]

Thats more a result of the echo chamber you surround yourself with.
Real life conversations tend to be more flexible than just video games.

[indigo lotus]

300 gb on a CoD game is a bit overkill. Game size required to play is starting to become an issue.

[bold sparrow]

You'll be a better significant other for it, trust me.

[worldly badger]

Round based Zombies is back baby

[tawdry maple]

i dont see anyone talking about halo at all tbh

i mean, not online, irl

[cloud tundra]

Infinite winding down more than ever now and still no news, it’s not an easy pill to swallow as a Halo fan of course. Just gotta survive the storm til they are ready to announce.

[analog knot]

Would have been fun for MCC until it tells you you're two years away

[fickle drift]

hopefully they be cooking a good halo game in the background

[tawdry maple]

even then its pretty rare online too

[cloud tundra]

We don’t want them to rush and replicate the same rushed mistakes of Infinite

[tawdry maple]

truee

[hasty zinc]

I see people talking about Halo every day

[fickle drift]

in a positive way?

[hasty zinc]

sometimes

mix of both

[fickle drift]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-gasp-what-cat-shock-gif-635629308990545194

[indigo lotus]

Everyone does.

[tawdry maple]

i didnt really play infinite

i mean, i play multiplayer, but not singleplayer

[worldly badger]

most hardcore halo fans will surround themselves with similar people

[cloud tundra]

Go to any games Discord and it mostly will be a ‘mix of both’, it’s not just Halo

[fickle drift]

cod should just release a zombie only game tbh

[tawdry maple]

(to be fair, i didnt really play halo at all, im basically just getting into it with infinite mp and mcc)

[worldly badger]

Zombies mode is basically a game within a game

[pallid quest]

I hope we can uninstall warzone, don’t feel like wasting half the storage on a gamemode I wont play

[tawdry maple]

you'll probably be able to do that

[cloud tundra]

Shutting down Warzone 1 was not a good move

[tawdry maple]

im honestly a hater of warzone

i dont like battle royales as a whole genre, and last time i played warzone it was all very sweaty

[worldly badger]

They are shutting down warzone 1 to push more of the population to the newer games

[pallid quest]

Same, I haven’t even played call of duty since MW2019 because of warzone

[tawdry maple]

i basically only play MWIII MP

[stoic pulsar]

😭 no halo

[worldly badger]

Overall good Xbox event, had a handful of games on my radar

[tawdry maple]

MWZ is the worst thing they've ever done though

[manic lake]

damn to see a whole montage of the showcase and no halo hurts

[cloud tundra]

It shut down already

[tawdry maple]

yeah i agree, it was pretty good

[cloud tundra]

They shut it back in December 2022 I believe

[tawdry maple]

too bad we didnt get to see TES6, any new forza or halo

[worldly badger]

Really want to play the new Fable

[tawdry maple]

(or hollow knight silksong)

[worldly badger]

And flight sim 2024 looks like a chill game to play

just flying around the world

[fickle drift]

down bad, laying on ground, asking why is there no halo, where is the halo, arms too weak to lift, just want to lay there and weep

[worldly badger]

tbh when I saw no halo on the last mini xbox event I knew it wouldn't be at a major event

[tawdry maple]

wasnt there a flight sim before that

[worldly badger]

ya this is the sequel with more content

[fickle drift]

how many countries are in flight sim

[hasty zinc]

all of them

[fickle drift]

even russia?

[hasty zinc]

it's the entirety of earth

[worldly badger]

it even has AI weather based on what is happening in real time really cool

[fickle drift]

wow

i might have to buy it now, how easy is it to run on pc

[hasty zinc]

it's resource heavy

[peak gust]

Anyone wanna run some co op campaign

[bold sparrow]

Thats how interests and friendship works yes.

[worldly badger]

its manageable on a decent PC a lot of graphics options and DLSS/FSR support makes it less heavy than launch

i have 9700k and rtx 2080 but that might be old now

[tawdry maple]

that sounds awesome actually

[worldly badger]

it will run but you would have to tweak the settings depending on your fps goal

[tawdry maple]

i5-9400 and 1070Ti 😭

i am definitely not running that game

[worldly badger]

anyways you could try it on gamepass and see how it runs before buying it

[fickle drift]

if there like an easy flight mode options so you dont have to press 10 buttons every 6 seconds to actually pilot a plane

[worldly badger]

ya there is a flight mode where its like just fly

and a more advanced mode where its for people using actual flight simulation joysticks

[subtle frost]

Well at least I'm getting Perfect Dark, STALKER, and Gears E-Day

Those are good

[tawdry maple]

honestly, stalker 2 seems kinda.. mid

like from what i saw in the trailer it doesnt seem that good

[subtle frost]

I'm Ukrainian. I have a bias on that one.

[worldly badger]

the game is really optimized for just using an xbox controller

[tawdry maple]

maybe thats just me

[tawdry maple]

crazy

[subtle frost]

I'm just annoyed that we get a Gears game that gives us a look at the start of their war before we ever get a Contact Harvest game.

That boggles the mind.

[tranquil loom]

It’s funny how they couldn’t figure out how to continue gears 5 story so they are just going backwards now

[gentle bronze]

No more operations after surplus?

[worldly badger]

Reminds me of mortal kombat they went back to Mortal Kombat 1 lol

[worldly badger]

no confirmed operations after surplus

doesn't mean there aren't any we just don't know which ones

[fossil agate]

hello

[amber mirage]

MK1 was a pretty cool take on the story. Simultaneously being a reboot and a continuation of the story.

[fossil agate]

Could someone help me with this problem?

[feral egret]

wasn't any halo, not that I had any expectations

[tranquil loom]

Kinda suck tho since the last time they showed off a halo trailer it took 3 years to release

[floral pollen]

Well I'll be checking that out rn

[pulsar cobalt]

It's a shame there was nothing about infinite

would of been the perfect time to show of that trailer they had few weeks ago

[floral pollen]

and ofc there's a massive ad on it that you can't scroll through

[carmine fractal]

If I'm honest, I'm surprised xbox didn't even show the tenrai iv event trailer at least.

[obsidian wyvern]

im surprised youre surprised

[final temple]

So did 343 forget the showcase was today?

[pulsar cobalt]

I mean even showing the next major CU or whatever that will be would of been nice

[restive dirge]

What're they gonna showcase? 30 cancelled Halo game pitches?

[final temple]

I mean that would’ve been nice to read at least

Just to show how Microsoft kicked them square in the gonads for coming up with good game ideas

[obsidian wyvern]

would've been painful

[subtle frost]

Hey look here's that ODST 2 game that you'll never see. Mald at what could have been.

[restive dirge]

Tbh yeah that would've hurt like a right bastard.

[final temple]

I was surprised to see that not even certain affinity didn’t even tease anything

[obsidian wyvern]

didn't know we could say this here, awesome

[restive dirge]

Tbh I would've loved that.

[restive dirge]

Seems so. Enjoy it while it lasts.

[final temple]

I was watching hiddenx’s stream and he said hope for game awards and expect this show next year for any announcement

That was a hard pill to swallow I hope he’s wrong

[restive dirge]

Personally, I wouldn't mind that at all.

[final temple]

To go another year of radio silence? Idk

[restive dirge]

Makes it so that they've got more to show. Nothing worse than a bunch of cinematics and a nothingburger in terms of gameplay and features.

[pulsar cobalt]

I doubt we will see the next halo for a good few years

[restive dirge]

Maybe if the Halo CE remake is legit.

I severely doubt it, though. I want to believe, but I'm sceptical about the whole thing.

[pulsar cobalt]

Why remake ce when they literally can do stuff for infinite

[final temple]

Exactly

[restive dirge]

Because the remaster we got was a right downgrade to the original experience.

[final temple]

Why remake Halo CE when we could have a shop update 🗿

[pulsar cobalt]

Yes but they can do that for another time right now they really should focus on infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

I would take a shop update over CE idgaf

[carmine fractal]

Increase the shop prices

By around 60%

[obsidian wyvern]

I would take that over CE

[left bone]

man

[final temple]

I want a H3 remaster not CE

[left bone]

folks really did expect a halo announcement

[final temple]

I mean if they weren’t gonna be there they would’ve told us no? That’s what happened last time

[meager linden]

I want Halo 5 on PC

[restive dirge]

Same.

[carmine fractal]

Let me pitch this to ya, how about we lock specific game modes behind a paywall and charge the user $5.99 per game mode, I could be onto something anyone else feeling this?

[restive dirge]

I actually had fun playing Firefight Warzone recently.

[final temple]

That would put 343 out of business

[left bone]

yeah but i still saw some of halo fanz expecting a annoncement

[carmine fractal]

Yeah for what it was worth warzone firefight in h5 was great for the most part.

[steady jolt]

They've said previously that they weren't showing anything and people ignored it and still got mad

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[restive dirge]

I play it on and off. In fact, I'm booting it up right now. XD

[left bone]

playstation knights are weeping right now i think

"wah wahh they actually put up a good show!!"

[restive dirge]

Skill issue.

[worldly badger]

found the shareholder

[left bone]

i told them karma is a ####

[restive dirge]

Same thing with PC devs whinging on about Steam's 'MoNoPoLy', legit a skill issue, make a better launcher.

[left bone]

they didnt listen and look what happened

[restive dirge]

No one lost anything though, we just didn't get any Halo. Which was expected.

[faint mantle]

That's the only thing Minty Blitzy forgot to mention

[left bone]

yup, but i guess the megaphone wasnt loud enough

[left bone]

wait

he did?

[faint mantle]

Shhhh

[obsidian wyvern]

bringing it back

[elfin glacier]

bungie basically did that

[carmine fractal]

I miss it when game projects were less ambitious or didn't cost as much, getting a new gears of war or new halo every 3 or 4 years felt great.

Yeah not great graphics and all but the games kept on coming.

[restive dirge]

Tbh what I'd love to have is like a bunch of smaller scale Halo games like the Mega Construx game that was canned.

Or maybe someone could finally finish that Halo DS pitch and port it to Xbox/PC as a retro-styled shooter.

[carmine fractal]

It makes me wonder how much stuff has actually been scrapped.

[restive dirge]

Still think it's bloody hilarious that someone made and pitched that

[pulsar cobalt]

Well i knew nothing was gonna be shown kinda obvious haha

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern ????

[left bone]

banana

[restive dirge]

It's actually surprising that Destiny 2 still gets 200K players after all the controversy they've been through.

Either that or the Destiny fandom just loves to whine.

[restive dirge]

what did I miss at the xbox showcase

[left bone]

cool stuff

[elfin glacier]

peak

[restive dirge]

Nothing.

[smoky token]

i saw the doom thing

but nothing else

[left bone]

(better than the state of play)

[elfin glacier]

Age of Mythology Retold

100% sincerely it looks great

[carmine fractal]

Nothing too mind blowing what was shown was about par for the course.

Doom, gears of war and probably state of decay 3 peaked my interest not cod as well everyone knows that release every year.

[smoky token]

i also saw a new trailer for MGS Delta but that wasn’t at the xbox showcase was it?

[pulsar cobalt]

Gears of war

[pulsar cobalt]

I still play wow

[worldly badger]

can be addictive

[obsidian wyvern]

[tranquil loom]

I’ve never played it

[safe dawn]

Which WoW are we talking about?
World of Warcraft?
World of Warships?
War of Wizards?

[obsidian wyvern]

there's this girl at my uni that I know plays it so I was interested

I just want good Halo *sequel in my lifetime

[vapid siren]

so

how bad is the gigamald in here lads

do i get to point and laugh at anyone like i am with bound rn

[faint mantle]

Surprisingly no

Things are calm

[fluid crest]

it feels kinda like people gave up on anticipating Halo

like that's time and energy that could go toward building towers in fork knife

[graceful inlet]

Good Night Spartans!
(And Our Marines. 🫂)

[vague swallow]

At least that rumor of remaking Halo CE seems to be busted.

[meager linden]

Good night spartans
That day was so tiring for me
I want to sleep so badly, so see you soon

[bronze breach]

@obsidian wyvern what a coincidence. I know that dude you just linked lol

[pliant hatch]

we got one green man in a suit trailer today, but the wrong one.

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[obsidian wyvern]

I like dooms gameplay I guess but I was only there for the story and the last one was such a letdown

[pulsar cobalt]

Least we finally got gears of war haha

[hasty zinc]

I love all these games being on gamepass though

[obsidian wyvern]

yeaa

[tawdry dagger]

was there a doom release date

[hasty zinc]

truly the best deal in gaming

[obsidian wyvern]

2025 is all they said

[fickle drift]

💀 $599

[hasty zinc]

and creation kit for starfield tonight is huge

[cedar turret]

Is it a cardboard box, an ice pick, and halogen flashlight

[queen remnant]

Yeee

Super good honestly

[amber mirage]

This line is the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Cole

[candid solar]

There's no Halo 5 Anniversary, so I am infuriated

[queen remnant]

Where is Halo Spartan Assault anniversary?

[hearty flame]

Where is Halo Fireteam Raven anniversary

[covert dove]

Cannot wait for the DLC and then the mods tonight

Started a new play through last week so it’s going to go perfect 🙏🏽

[obsidian wyvern]

I miss the joy of finding digipicks

[hasty zinc]

I dont miss the pain of using them

[pulsar cobalt]

I need these because 343 hasn't done eaglestrike items since it came out 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

it's probably the least used core

which is a surprise because chimera sucks 🔥

[pulsar cobalt]

that's because not many people want to use it due to not having any customization for it

[safe dawn]

Chimera isnt that bad

[obsidian wyvern]

actual garbage 🔥 🔥

[pulsar cobalt]

it aint bad with the new items tbh

[safe dawn]

This statement is factually untrue

[zealous spear]

Question. Since we have match composer. Which firefight mode is the best for exp

[obsidian wyvern]

wendigo was the only one I kinda liked but I'm not a fan of the core

[obsidian wyvern]

still legendary, idk which one exactly

[safe dawn]

Wendigo was just weird

[safe dawn]

Anything you can get a lot of kills in

[livid oyster]

That's hot

[pulsar cobalt]

Gonna be honest i think chimera turned around with it's last op

[lapis ivy]

Hot stuff btw

[pulsar cobalt]

Made a mark 7 look for mark v b

[obsidian wyvern]

that looks nice

[cedar turret]

Needs a Pepsi logo

[candid solar]

Bird

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah i'm quite pleased with it

[lapis ivy]

My bad

[cedar turret]

That reminds me I should buy some Cornish game hens

[balmy monolith]

guis

I got in med school

Thanks

[cedar turret]

Now you just have four years of med school, internships, and several years as a resident to look forward too

[balmy monolith]

It cant be any worse than 2 years of studying for the uni exam

[hasty zinc]

let's go!!

[hasty zinc]

update is OUT

[covert dove]

You’re a blessing

I’ve been waiting for news, I am downloading rn

[pulsar cobalt]

due to the creation kit

[covert dove]

Yep! And there is also the creation club as well as new paid mods

[obtuse spire]

You guys just gotta hang it up and make Halo Mobile. Dominate the Phone game

[hasty zinc]

yes!

[pulsar cobalt]

here comes the star wars conversion mods

[lapis ivy]

If I get a DM from Gaius cicereius what do I have to respond?

[candid solar]

No.

[obsidian wyvern]

love this coatingg

[hasty zinc]

nothing. Just read it and learn from it

unless you would like to appeal it

which in your case I would appeal it

[covert dove]

Dude, they gave us 100GB of mod space

[hasty zinc]

actually, just hold on

[covert dove]

That’s incredible

[lapis ivy]

Ok cause some phrases are prohibited

Idk how appeal to it

[hasty zinc]

just hold tight

[pulsar cobalt]

That's pretty nice rev

[hasty zinc]

pardoned it doorless

[lapis ivy]

Just did

[hasty zinc]

just did what

[lapis ivy]

Apologized

[hasty zinc]

no no, you're fine. I pardoned the warning for you

[lapis ivy]

Oh ok

Thanks 👍

[hasty zinc]

you're welcome

[fickle drift]

can i egt my warning pardoned for using "#" before my text

rude bot

[elfin glacier]

wtf

[floral pollen]

Gruntpocalypse Fiesta is the mode I run
I just do it on normal, but I can average 5-5.7k score a match, with like 12-15 mins a match

Gruntpocalypse normal or Fiesta is good though, since it gives a skull per hill no matter what, so you get a ton of Skull bonuses

[obsidian wyvern]

did you see how many games u need to play to reach hero by a certain date

[floral pollen]

there was a massive ad that popped up so I couldn't actually change the date, but its roughly 2k games, 9 games a day for Hero on 06/09/2025, which is what it defaulted to

[lapis ivy]

I didn't know that phrase was prohibited but be careful though

[obsidian wyvern]

mines 10 games a day for that date and I'm way ahead wtf

[floral pollen]

I did the math a while ago though myself, and its roughly like a month and a half from now for Hero
roughly

21st/22nd I'll get a big chunk ahead, since I'm on all night
I'm almost Lance Cpl. 1

[fickle drift]

the servers will shutdown before you make it

[floral pollen]

Don't think they're gonna shut down for at least like 5 years, or more

[jade walrus]

i'm still diamond major smth

[floral pollen]

I'm pretty much exactly halfway through Private 3 rn

prolly get Lcpl. 1 tomorrow, and will most likely be Staff Sgt. at least before the 21st

[normal owl]

Oh is that so?

[jade walrus]

onyx lcpl is half way

[obsidian wyvern]

ofc you find this msg lol

[floral pollen]

I did XP math a while back, and from Private 1 to Hero I think was like 70 ish days, if I get around 60k a day

so I prolly have about 60-65 days at most left of the grind

[obsidian wyvern]

I gotta play 40 matches a day if I want to finish it in the next month

[cedar turret]

Well if you play four matches a day that is ten days.

[floral pollen]

I'll prolly get like 250-300+k XP over the 30 ish hours I'll be on on the 21st/22nd

[jade walrus]

so I'll prob get to hero rank before you (considering I get 5000+ per firefight round

and I play for most of the day

[floral pollen]

I get 5-5.7k a match in FF, and do about 10-12 games a day of it sometimes

I'm generally on for 6-7 hours

[jade walrus]

10-12 games is roughly 3-4 hours

[floral pollen]

I take long breaks sometimes

I could do 15+ if I just did one after the other all day, which is prolly what I'll do when I'm on all night

[vagrant escarp]

Your wasting ur time on this dead game hop on destiny

[floral pollen]

Gonna try for Lieutenant or Captain in my overnight session

[jade walrus]

I have 62920 score until the next rank (Lt Colonel 1)

[hasty zinc]

or just let people play what they want to

[jade walrus]

that's a long ways away

[floral pollen]

I have about 30k to Lcpl. 1

[jade walrus]

that's still at least 24 hours of nonstop playtime

[floral pollen]

I'll get a ways in leading up to my overnight session

[obsidian wyvern]

not bad

idk why i thought it was 40

[cedar turret]

That seems impossible

[floral pollen]

I'll be doing roughly 30 hours straight in like a week, plus 50-60 ish hours leading up to that over a few days

[jade walrus]

for me it says 8 games a day to reach it by the end of june

from where i'm at

[floral pollen]

Would you be able to check mine for July 9th, just out of curiosity?
(I would but there's a stoopid ad on that for me)

[cedar turret]

I don't see how anyone would have the spare time to play 40 games a day. A week maybe

[jade walrus]

that's 2 hours of playtime (1 per 4 matches)
if I double that, i'll get there way sooner

[floral pollen]

I can theoretically do about 4 Firefight matches an hour, 5+k score per

[jade walrus]

I think spartan record knows how fast I can rank up

[pulsar cobalt]

the default rak helmet looks kinda beautiful like that

[jade walrus]

20k score per hour

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah one sec

[floral pollen]

that looks like whatever the helmet that can have the Quillhawk thing is
I'm blanking on the name rn

[pulsar cobalt]

Rasetsu ?

[obsidian wyvern]

have fun LOL

[jade walrus]

i'll prob get hero before july, I'm gonna play for 8 hours or more per day starting wednesday or thursday

[obsidian wyvern]

ping pins and ask

[floral pollen]

prolly closer to 25k ish, since I usually get over 5k

[floral pollen]

good lord

[jade walrus]

that's hilarious for some reason

[floral pollen]

Well lads
time to grind 25 hours a day

[jade walrus]

"you need to play 100 games / day"

[jade walrus]

wait that's illegal
a day only lasts 24 hours

[floral pollen]

yes

[obsidian wyvern]

no bro thats like 150 hours a day

[indigo lotus]

Yikes! That's a lot of games to reach that.

[floral pollen]

I'll see how fast I actually do it, bc in my head it feels faster than that lol

[obsidian wyvern]

wait no there isnt 100 minutes in an hour ignore me lol

that is 25 hours a day LOL

[hasty zinc]

how are your marks rev?

[pulsar cobalt]

I still think the default rak helmet was setup to have this kind of customization

[obsidian wyvern]

im not failing yet 💪

[floral pollen]

also yes, that

[calm wyvern]

Is survive the undead gone?

[floral pollen]

yes

[jade walrus]

survive the undead did not survive the undead

had to make that pun

[obsidian wyvern]

id need to play 4 hours a day to reach my august goal, bleh

but im unemployed and not at uni rn so i could do it

[candid solar]

Furry, weird

[worldly badger]

If infinite had that tracker it would show me how many years it would take for hero

[floral pollen]

4,672,500 from Lcpl. 1 to Hero
roughly 76 days if I get 60k a day
So a while off but doable

[jade walrus]

2000 years later

[jade walrus]

considering i'm on 85% of the day, i'll be able to speed through hero (I'm almost at lcnl 1)

[floral pollen]

aren't you in Diamond still

and do you mean Lt. Colonel?

[jade walrus]

oh right

epic rank fail

would that be ltclnl?

or lcnl

[obsidian wyvern]

to you, 2000 years from now

[floral pollen]

idk tbh

[jade walrus]

i'll probably be at brigadier general III this week

at the end of this week

[obsidian wyvern]

thank you for understanding h8

didnt realise just how good this heatwave is on this map

[analog knot]

This isnt correct. Used to be. Now they will be actioned at least.

[amber mirage]

I can't remember the last time I fired my Heatwave horizontally

[obsidian wyvern]

the alt works better horizontally

[pulsar cobalt]

how rev is using that heatweave is how i use it

[floral pollen]

I got back-to-back triples with it on that map I think

[worldly badger]

I believe 343 bans people now after they banned those flying cheaters after 150 games of ruining ranked games

[obsidian wyvern]

wait why is halo here

[candid solar]

They forgor

[worldly badger]

Its there in my heart

[hasty zinc]

where is that pic from?

[fickle drift]

The Dolby Atmos ad ofc 😄

[worldly badger]

looks like someone photoshopped on top of Dragon Age

[hasty zinc]

yeah they did

[obsidian wyvern]

smh

[pulsar cobalt]

rev got bamboozled

[obsidian wyvern]

no i made it LOL

[hasty zinc]

first 100 minutes in an hour, now this

[worldly badger]

Wow the call was coming from inside the house

[obsidian wyvern]

manj called it out too quickly to troll enough people

[hasty zinc]

[fickle drift]

Is that spreading misinformation

[worldly badger]

Would be more believable if it was a poorly written "Halo 7" using a trackpad

[obsidian wyvern]

i spent 30 seconds and i wasnt going to spend a second longer

[pulsar cobalt]

Rak without kneepads is pretty nice

[brisk fjord]

Hey all, I played today for the first time since launch, and the game actually seemed so much better. Before I get really involved, is it worth getting into?

[amber mirage]

That's a decision best left up to you

[candid solar]

If you don't get involved I will eat a puppy

[obsidian wyvern]

theres a joke to be made here

[candid solar]

I will go and pick out the cutest puppy I can find and eat it

[worldly badger]

If you don't get involved I will be forced to get involved with you getting involved

[worldly badger]

its free to play try out a few hours and see if its something thats for you

[fickle drift]

Samus wore it best imo.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[brisk fjord]

I loved what I played so far. I have just seen so much negativity on YouTube and Reddit

[obsidian wyvern]

i should play the metroid games

[fierce mango]

The doom slayer one looks like he stole it from kratos

[amber mirage]

If you're having fun, keep having fun

[worldly badger]

People are seeing it out of the perspective of playing since launch, its much better so have fun

[amber coral]

Omg guys

[obsidian wyvern]

if youre getting into it now, its probably gonna be more fun for you than the majority

[amber coral]

The showcase was amazing best showcase I ever seen

[worldly badger]

ya which games are you looking forward to

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm looking foward to fable and gears

[normal owl]

Just snag this and catch up: https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/world-of-warcraft-welcome-to-azeroth-bundle

[pulsar cobalt]

Gonna say it character boost is not the best way to start wow

[obsidian wyvern]

i have a feeling ill regret this

[brisk fjord]

Wow is fun, but it will take a lot for a new player to understand everything if you’re playing retail

[obsidian wyvern]

its not even my kind of game, im more interested in just relating to the person lol

[fierce mango]

There was a lot that I'm looking forward too from the showcase

[pulsar cobalt]

If it's not your kinda game then i woudn't get it

but it's always worth to give it a try atleast

[worldly badger]

I am looking forward to flight sim 2024, relaxing game and I like aviation

[obsidian wyvern]

i honestly thought wow died like 25 years ago

[worldly badger]

not even close

[obsidian wyvern]

when she brought up that she plays it sometimes i was more shocked that the game even had a playerbase than i was about someone my age playing it

[worldly badger]

they even released wow classic because of popular demand from hardcore players of the game

[pulsar cobalt]

still one of the most populated MMO's

[obsidian wyvern]

i heard one of its latest updates was so popular, blizzards servers couldnt handle that many people. not even ow has done that

[amber mirage]

WoW died five years before it was born

[worldly badger]

everytime a wow expansion comes out the servers cant handle it

[pulsar cobalt]

ESO and swtor are nice MMO's also

[worldly badger]

they either crash or have a queue timer

[pulsar cobalt]

and if you love lord of the rings lotro is great

[amber mirage]

Rev would use that as a sleeping aid

[fickle drift]

Rev’ll use it as sleeping ambience th- smh

[obsidian wyvern]

https://twitter.com/Fallout/status/1799894260071763981 @hasty zinc i might have just pinged u for this like 3 mins ago but i cant remember

Fallout (@Fallout) on X

Play as a Ghoul in early 2025. #Fallout76

Twitter · Jun 9, 2024, 8:00 PM

yeah ive tried watching it a few times, fallen asleep every time 😁

[worldly badger]

The fallout show really revived the fallout games never seen their population this high before

[normal owl]

Well hey, the Xbox Games Showcase made you wake up to it and, hey you know, maybe she can show you around, give you the tour of Azeroth?

[obsidian wyvern]

i havent actually spoken to her LMAO

[pulsar cobalt]

What lord of the rings ?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeaa

[worldly badger]

and they are playing it well by having a ghoul like from the show playable soon in fallout 76

[pulsar cobalt]

76 is starting to go places like damn

[worldly badger]

fallout 76 launch was pretty disastrous and it came so far

they didnt even have human npcs in the game

[hasty zinc]

yee, excited

expansion next week

[pulsar cobalt]

i didn't even complete the pass for 76 this time

oh well

[worldly badger]

lmao this xbox gamepass meme on twitter

with the doom dragons

[fickle drift]

Sold me with being able to pilot the giant mech

[obsidian wyvern]

did u play the eternals dlc

[hasty zinc]

I'll see if I can tolerate this new doom

luckily it's on GP so I don't have to buy it

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-eternal-gif-20780560

[worldly badger]

gamepass reminds me of the blockbusters where I beat multiple games and returned them

[obsidian wyvern]

i went through the entire game waiting for this moment before i realised it was dlc, then i just never bought it

[molten shoal]

Now the day bleeds! Into night fall! And your not here, to get me through it all! I let my guard down! And then you pulled the rug. I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved.

[worldly badger]

https://tenor.com/view/blockbuster-video-blockbuster-video-rental-gif-18081702

[fickle drift]

Haven’t yet because of the supposed difficulty spike, when they’re on sale I’ll probably just give it a go anyway.
