general-chat

[candid solar]

No... It can't be.

I mean, it's a progression system, that people wanted.

[pulsar cobalt]

People wanted armour rewards and coatings

[candid solar]

Which, on the side of 343, I'm sure was internally rationalized as being the entire point of the Battlepasses. Which, to be fair, I agree with.

I don't agree it's a good implementation of the idea, I just think that the Battlepass would be the thing you're supposed to progress to earn cosmetics.

[pulsar cobalt]

Career rank should of been based around mark VI gen 3 core and not a kit and with the old halo 3 armour and new items

[trim saddle]

imagine earning stuff in game without having to throw money at the screen lol

[candid solar]

And it wouldn't surprise me if the push to get the thing out the door is what led to Halo Infinite, despite learned lessons from 5 and despite learned lessons from what is now other competing Microsoft properties, shambling out with a poorly competing model that feels like a skyrim skeleton of a mechanic.

When your best gimmick for driving further monetization is literally "We made it so you can permanently buy any battlepass in the past!" and then include the currency to buy them all, you'll hemorrhage money, because all anyone sane is going to do is buy one and then just complete all the rest for free.

Which is likely the reasoning behind the swap to the 20 tier 'operations'.

[trim saddle]

im happy for the exchange honestly. very good addition.

[candid solar]

Which shambles out 12ish per year, don't provide currency to the next, and only provide one boon for purchasing versus an entire additional track of gear.

[pulsar cobalt]

it's really not though for people who has mostly everything

[trim saddle]

which is me that has everything completed from before, but theres still some new stuff they add into it.

[pulsar cobalt]

All i could get is a new wrist for yoroi and that was it

[candid solar]

I can't overplay how much I've seen because, well, it'd constitute a leak, but I am actually outright appalled at the absolute travesty that is the exchange.

[lapis ivy]

Is there a way to set up the Gaius bot in my own server?

[trim saddle]

and thigh, or was that for mk7?

[candid solar]

And what sucks is, conceptually, the exchange is a great idea. It's something the game sorely needed.

[pulsar cobalt]

yeah that was for mark 7

[normal owl]

Here's everything you need to do that! https://googlethatforyou.com?q=Is there a way to set up the Gaius bot in my own server%3F

[trim saddle]

is it yoroi that doesnt have hands yet?

[candid solar]

But Microsoft and their damn love of ineffecient menus creeping into every damn game franchise they first party just screw it all up.

[lapis ivy]

🍻

[candid solar]

Like, yes, wow, thank you, Halo 5 customization menu design that I absolutely hated with the fury of a thousand suns because it sucked, I really wanted you to come back, please go away.

[hexed geyser]

im playing MCC in Latin Spanish cuz I miss Mexico (I Lived in mexico from 2012 (H4's Release) to 2017 (HW2's Release)

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah yoroi got no new gloves 😦

[candid solar]

What's funny is that I'm sure they reused the normal menu design for the store, but like... THE STORE MENU DESIGN ALSO SUCKS?

[hollow tundra]

Just had a guy in ranked slayer go 0-15

[trim saddle]

sounds like SBMM is working as intended

[hollow tundra]

I was 15-3

So not sure what you mean

[trim saddle]

perfectly balanced as it should be

[hollow tundra]

My entire team had a 2.0 KD except this guy

[trim saddle]

343 wants you to work really hard for the W

[agile palm]

Had some drunk dude say I was bad when he went 2 and 20

[candid solar]

Based drunk guy

[agile palm]

Ranked arena really has some interesting creatures in it

[hollow tundra]

I really hope this dude was drunk tbh

[trim saddle]

which is why i avoid it with a passion, along with game chat off and only people who are my friends can send me messages

[agile palm]

I seem to get nothing but Alcohol anonymous on my team

Drives me crazy

[hollow tundra]

Samee

[candid tusk]

Infinite's matchmaking has a layer of "VIP" built into every mode. You need to protect the terrible player you will always be given.

[candid solar]

I really do hate being an r/Halo Redditor about menu design, so I refuse to do a mockup because it's not like I really have any experience in that sector, but just looking at other games that handle the system far better and far prettier, I know there's a more intuitive and better-looking way to do it than static squares of data aligned in a horizontal scrolling pattern and limited to two vertical box options.

[agile palm]

Im gold V rn man I wanna get to plat :/

[hollow tundra]

I got play in ranked tactical finally after all these 2-17 players

[agile palm]

But with all these horrible 40 year olds who don’t know how to hold a controller….

[hollow tundra]

Now I'm gold 3 or something in ranked slayer and getting 0-15 players

[agile palm]

I decided to take a break and hop on something else to save my sanity

World of Warcraft should not be hitting this hard rn

But idk what it is about it but I’m enjoying a lot more than halo infinite

[floral pollen]

I honestly don't play Ranked all that much, but I'm P1 in everything pretty much, and P2 in Arena
it just takes a different skill between Gold/Plat

[fickle drift]

I’ll get you to plat 😀

[hexed geyser]

now that my 9y/o bro might get a newer Xbox than a 360 I wonder which halo game he'll like best

[fickle drift]

Haha I just want teammates! Plat is not guaranteed with offer🤣

[agile palm]

I appreciate the offer but I gotta take a break for a bit from halo

Gotta take a smoke break or somethin because these people buggin

Thinking I’m gonna carry their 2-17 butt to plat…

[fickle drift]

All good, feel free to add me on xbox if you want, I play on PC!

[hexed geyser]

yeah ik he'll Like H3 cuz he wanted it for 360 originally but i told him the servers are gone

[agile palm]

I ain’t no babysitter bruh

[agile palm]

Well now he can play it via MCC

[fickle drift]

I’m p5

[agile palm]

I’m still in gold rn

I’m like half way to gold VI I think

[hexed geyser]

well now "Now" i mean when he gets a "Modern" Xbox

[fickle drift]

Sad 😭 maybe reach on the 360? But yeah MCC would be the way as of now

[hollow tundra]

I'm Gold 3 in slayer if you wanna team up. I'm plat in tactical

[agile palm]

I still got to do placements in tactical and slayer

[fickle drift]

Good stuff, I used to play a lot more so I just start in plat now, which makes it easier but climb is hard to do solo

[hollow tundra]

I'm in elo hell with leavers and 0-15 players but I'm not bad definitely diamond skill imo

[agile palm]

I don’t think I’m crazy at the game or anything but I think I can carry my own weight

[fickle drift]

Feel free to add me! I don’t play those modes but it’s only because I’m always on arena haha. Maybe I’ll get my placements done and we can try it sometime

[hollow tundra]

Cool I'll add you.in a bit

[fickle drift]

Yeah, I feel you. I’ve been in diamond 1 season out of 4 playing, mostly plat hell for the same reasons haha

[fickle drift]

I just try my best to make the right decisions to set up a win, cuz sometimes I go like 15-25 but will get hill time like crazy or captures it just depends on the team when solo

[hexed geyser]

y'know i could get him GPU (Game Pass ultimate) so he could play MCC/Infinite on the Samsung TV in the living room

but i'd have to wait till i get allowance to do that

[fickle drift]

Do it if you’re able. If you have multiple xboxs you can share home xbox to both have game pass on it.

[hexed geyser]

i am in like a week or to cuz payday's on my bday

[fickle drift]

Happy early birthday Spartan🫡

[hexed geyser]

thx

its on the 25th

[winter flame]

🎈

[fickle drift]

But yea a couple years ago I shared with a college buddy and he still is able to install game pass games to this date 3-4 years later😂

[hexed geyser]

well When bro gets an Xbox he can install my copy of the mcc but for now he'll have to use Xcloud till then

[lapis ivy]

Did Xbox live gold get replaced with gamepass?

[fierce sinew]

Though our enemies crowd around us, we tread the blessed path! In a moment I will light the rings, and all who believe... shall be saved.

[lapis ivy]

Cause I haven't seen those

[meager linden]

To my bday left only 27 days

[meager linden]

Halo 3 moment

[hexed geyser]

yes

[fierce sinew]

You are, all of you, vermin. Cowering in the dirt, thinking... what, I wonder? That you might escape the coming fire? No. Your world will burn until its surface is but glass! And not even your Demon will live to creep, blackened, from its hole to mar the reflection of our passage; the culmination of our Journey. For your destruction is the will of the gods! And I...I am their instrument!

[hexed geyser]

XBLG Got replaced with Gamepass core

no ads

the MCC was More of an early Bday gift for me so im gonna get my brother something on the 25th (Even tho its my bday & not his)

or shoud i Get gamepass for my self

[normal owl]

This is so awesome that you're bringing your son into the world of Xbox! GPU is sharable among home users, so you may want to get it for yourself and then share with your son. See the FAQ for details: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

[pliant hatch]

have your brother get you gamepass

[hexed geyser]

its my brother actually

[normal owl]

Same thing: as long as they're in the same household, the Home Xbox owner can share GPU with other profiles.

[fierce sinew]

Now the gate has been unlatched, headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room, a fate you must abide.

[hexed geyser]

but i'll have to wait till he gets an xbox for home

[fierce sinew]

Tell that to the covenant

[hexed geyser]

why are you saying random quotes

[fierce sinew]

Because halo is life

[graceful inlet]

Good Night Spartans!
(And Our Marines. 🫂)a

[peak flume]

Pew pew pew

[normal owl]

That's up to whatever home configuration you'd like. As a starter, he can play via his own profile on your Xbox's GPU. So either way, you're only paying for one subscription.

[hexed geyser]

ok

[desert zephyr]

Stupid Question from new player: just unlocked halo infinite ranked, why is every single mode bandit evo loadouts? will this ever change?

[opal dagger]

Im curious but does anyone actually care about the pride month stuff because I always see so many people complaining in the comments yet not that many videos other than a few machinima people and low effort bait channels.

[desert zephyr]

idk I think it's dope cause the colors are flashy

[hexed geyser]

The games he'll usually mostly play on XGPU is MCC, infinite & minecraft

[pliant hatch]

it was changed to the bandit a couple seasons ago I think, so it probly won't change for a good while.

[normal owl]

Welcome, Guardian!

[unkempt juniper]

why does it not let me connect to the servers?

[trim saddle]

it looks really good on chimera and ive always liked the colors of the rainbow regardless of their connection to any group.

[forest lagoon]

Have you tried quitting the game and restarting it?

[unkempt juniper]

yes

i have also restarted my internet and still not working

and i have verified my game files

it was working fine yesterday

[opal dagger]

Yeah honestly same here. I just find it so annoying seeing all the low effort youtube channels like red sentiment films and hypnotic cry about and i wonder who actually did care about it.

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[hexed geyser]

why isnt My buddy coming home,he should've been home by now

he's not my brother

[safe dawn]

Stupid answer from not new player: bc 343 made it thatway and noo newverwr

Serious answer from not new player: it was changed to bandit evo a few updates ago because people thought the bandit would be a good ranked starting weapon and i doubt it will change to a new starting weapon anytime soon

[safe dawn]

Call them

[hexed geyser]

he's 8 i dont think he has a phone

[safe dawn]

This leaves me with many questions

[fickle drift]

So relatable

[hexed geyser]

for Some Reason i Always get beaten by the kid in Smash Bros & Halo (He beat me in H2 OG on mcc last night)

[fickle drift]

Did you know in fh5 you can get the warthog?

[safe dawn]

Yes

But im not buying forza 5

[fickle drift]

you play?

[candid solar]

Most of the people complaining are people who just flat out hate gay people. Or trans people. Or people with anything resembling a spine strong enough to be anything beyond straight and cisgender when they feel they are anything but either or.

[fickle drift]

if you have game pass, its free

[safe dawn]

I do not have gamepass at the moment

[obsidian wyvern]

did you know you can find the halo soundtrack on one of the radio stations in fh3

[fickle drift]

WHAT

[obsidian wyvern]

let me see if I can find the screenshot

[fickle drift]

NO WAY

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[obsidian wyvern]

always stuck between choosing revenant for my number plate because it perfectly fits, or rev because car

[fickle drift]

H8TRFFC is the go to for me

Being a license plate is what it was made for lol

[left bone]

its also in forza horizon 4

(i keep trying to run over the deer)

[obsidian wyvern]

I could never get into fh4

h8s probably fuming lol

but you might not see the appeal in Scotland either

[left bone]

wait

[hexed geyser]

why did they Forgot Make People Paper Spartans in the Warthog Rules

[left bone]

i was playing in scotland the entire time?

[obsidian wyvern]

..yes

where did you think you were

[left bone]

hell

[obsidian wyvern]

lmfao

[hexed geyser]

lol

[fickle drift]

I mean FH4 is fine, Edinburgh is shrunk to hell tho lol

[obsidian wyvern]

tbh I loved the city but it was tiny

[vapid siren]

What a thing for discord to show me when i hop in here

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't even remember a city in fh5 so I wasn't a fan

[candid solar]

Hi hello

[fickle drift]

I’d like a Horizon game in Hong Kong or Japan tbh. Totally original I know.

[obsidian wyvern]

but I somehow have a lot more time in there than 4

[candid solar]

Am I wrong though, Hawkboy?

[obsidian wyvern]

I'd take one set in Japan

[candid solar]

Hawkeye? Hawkfella? Hawkbaddy?

[fickle drift]

Or better yet, a Horizon ‘World Tour’ with multiple locations.

[obsidian wyvern]

i think they explicitly said they wouldn't do one there

[left bone]

i can already see hundreds of thousand weebs buying that mate (if japan)

[fickle drift]

WHAT

[obsidian wyvern]

infinite money glitch

[hexed geyser]

Will Horizon be the new AC Situation

[left bone]

ill never understand the anny maes

[candid solar]

They should do a Forza Horizon set on the moon

[fickle drift]

You’re correct I would buy that.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah I just saw something about the moon I bookmarked

[fickle drift]

Cyberpunk?

[obsidian wyvern]

ffs IT WAS

on that note, it was recently revealed you were going to be able to play on the moon but it got cut

[fickle drift]

Lotta good people died trying to make that rock habitable. 🙃

[left bone]

fh on the moon?

[obsidian wyvern]

😔

hey jelly, you should go watch edgerunners and then understand why weebs exist

[left bone]

i watched it

[obsidian wyvern]

😮 and you don't get the anny maes

[left bone]

i never knew why everyone suddenly gets shot to death every 10 seconds

[fickle drift]

Haven’t played the game clearly lol

[left bone]

(minus the tripwire scene)

[obsidian wyvern]

any show introducing a lot of characters at once is a bad sign

[hexed geyser]

no Annie May

[fickle drift]

I was surprised how much I liked Edgerunners ngl, given how much people hyped it.

[hexed geyser]

except Halo Legends

[obsidian wyvern]

I just got told it was depressing from that one guy in my friend group you'd never hear admit it, so I knew it had to be good

top 5? series for me I think

[fickle drift]

hmm, I’d need to think about it.
Probably doesn’t breach top 20 for me but it was great.

[obsidian wyvern]

woah

my series list is hella short tbf

[ocean herald]

Attack on titan has entered the chat

[fickle drift]

It’s not always the case tbf. I’ve seen shows introduce big casts and most of them live to the end.

[scenic dragon]

hello boys

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm thinking mob might be that case, I should continue that today

[scenic dragon]

ive almost 100%'d powerwashing simulator and idk if im proud of myself or not lmao

[safe dawn]

So you spent many hours of your life spraying digital water at a digital house or structure, cool 👍

[hasty zinc]

Bertolts reveal still cracks me up to this day

[fickle drift]

I liked the part where a literal red flag snaps and falls off the wall.

why have all the Ultimate weekly challenges lately been spartan points

[shy kettle]

i love halo

[floral pollen]

its a permanent thing now
They made the decision to not have specific items as the weekly anymoe

[umbral veldt]

anyone else getting "timed out" errors when they try to join a game in Halo Infinite?

[fickle drift]

that sucks

especially when you have everything in the spartan shop and cant use those points in the regular shop

[shy kettle]

bro i played a match of infection with my brother, and i won sole survivor, the second that the next round started i get "timed out" but my brother doesnt. i would have won, too. the wierd part was, once the match ended, it shows up in my "Last match results" part

[fathom ridge]

ñoño

[obsidian wyvern]

that threw me off

I thought no way would they say it this casually

[icy agate]

Why are the servers down again???

343 please get this bug fix ASAP

[fickle drift]

not down

[scenic dragon]

someone should do a "what if" video on what the halo universe would be like if the covenant never existed

[floral garden]

Guys it's been 3 hours and my Halo Infinite campaign is still compiling shaders and it's stuck at 10%

What do I do?

[fickle drift]

cancel and try again

[floral garden]

...how do I cancel?

It's automatic

Hello?

[candid solar]

CTRL+ALT+DEL
Open Task Manager
Right Click Halo Infinite
Left Click "End Task"

[fickle drift]

ctrl+alt+del -> end process

yea

[candid solar]

Alternatively, open your web browser of choice
Enter 'google.com' in the address bar
Find the search bar and enter "How to end a task in (Operating System)"

[floral garden]

It doesn't work, it's the third time I'm trying this and it's always stuck at 10%

[candid solar]

You asked how to cancel it, not how to fix it.

[floral garden]

Scroll up and read

I asked for a fix and was told to cancel and re try

[muted rose]

Buddy you cannot be serious

[ocean herald]

I went back and watched it

Ngl it had me shook when I first saw it

[forest lagoon]

No, you are NOW asking for a fix. Your initial question did not indicate at all you had tried multiple times and was simply stuck at a certain point.

[floral garden]

....ok

[safe dawn]

How far up

[floral garden]

.

[floral garden]

So is there a fix?

[ocean herald]

What’s your gpu?

[floral garden]

RTX 3060

[ocean herald]

Are you on the latest driver?

[floral garden]

No, since the game doesn't run on the latest driver

[ocean herald]

Yeah, just confirming.

I’d try a few of the obvious things, reboot if you haven’t already and/or uninstall/reinstall the game

I googled and possible solutions ranged from rollback driver, update driver, disable ray tracing, etc etc lol, so not exactly helpful

[candid solar]

That's a statement, not a question.

[little anchor]

Did i wait too long to place in Ranked? I placed alot lower than i usually do. also waited longer than usual to place. in addition, i also played way better in my placement matches than i have in most of my games. i assumed id place higher than ever not lower. was wondering if it was me or if ranked is like “saturated” with players or something. tia

[ocean herald]

Respectfully, none of us here are official Halo tech support. You can try finding help here https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1075989764026675210 or opening a ticket with 343

[candid solar]

Read my mind, because what's on it in response to you is not something I can post here.

[left bone]

hashtag justice for eaglestrike

i protest

[candid solar]

Nah

[left bone]

what do i do?

[candid solar]

Sending zip bombs is against TOS, so.

[ocean herald]

You mean the worse core in the game

Jk that’s chimera

[left bone]

i was this close to glassing your entire planet

[floral garden]

I don't see the ray tracing setting in campaign, only in multiplayer

I just submitted a ticket

[candid solar]

9 billion instances of Bonzi Buddy later;

I literally just got back from a 5k.

[ocean herald]

So you can get to multiplayer but not campaign?

[smoky token]

Can yall like

not

[candid solar]

Why are you saying the count of your last snack?

[smoky token]

Stop.

[fickle drift]

@floral garden fail.

[smoky token]

Trench and Jungle.

[candid solar]

KK.

[floral garden]

I can get to both, but playing the campaign, everything looks like it's made out of play dough and the characters faces remain still like puppets in cutscenes, i think it has smth to do with the compiling shaders thing

[floral garden]

??

[ocean herald]

Yeah, that sounds like a shader issue. I’d uninstall/reinstall the game if it’s not too big an ask

[floral garden]

Yk how the download speeds are in the Xbox app? It'd take an entire day to download

[obsidian wyvern]

merty made a variant of it

I know what the gif is but like why is it mentioning birthdays and Mexico

[ocean herald]

I’m Mexican

[obsidian wyvern]

because of @faint mantle

[candid solar]

Also, please explode

[obsidian wyvern]

wtf is that armour

is that a kit

[candid solar]

Yeah, it came out a while ago.

[obsidian wyvern]

it looks good but it also looks dumb, hmm

[floral garden]

Because of what you've done, what you plan to do. Stop, stop now, come back, I LOVE YOU
(sorry, force of habit)

[ocean herald]

Reminds me of the bubblegum ice cream I’d buy as a kid

[obsidian wyvern]

what

[candid solar]

It's grown on me the longer I've looked at it, tbh, I had the same take for a while.

[obsidian wyvern]

probably now that u mention it lol

[floral garden]

Revenge of the Sith quote

[candid solar]

Like, it's not bad, it's not really good, but it's got a neat look.

[obsidian wyvern]

right

[ocean herald]

Have you tried clearing your shader cache? It’ll impact any other games that compile shaders, meaning they’d have to recompile next time you go play

[meager linden]

That electric pistol are so damn OP
Especially the white one

[floral garden]

Hmm, how do I do that?

[ocean herald]

Some of the armor cores just look so impractical

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't care if it's impractical if it looks good tbh

like that SPI design

[ocean herald]

I also think some look bad lol, but I also factor “would a spartan actually wear this”

For example the helmets with no eye holes

[obsidian wyvern]

idk if it's you I've had the conversation about the wrists with 3 times before lol but this is awesome

[floral garden]

@ocean herald

[cedar turret]

I think that was based on an electric razor

[obsidian wyvern]

make a post in #1075989764026675210

[sturdy fjord]

How are you doing how are the birds

[ocean herald]

I don’t think it was me but yeah that looks cool and is still “practical”

Some of the armors don’t check either box for me. I can still appreciate some of the armors for looking cool, but some are over the top impractical

[safe dawn]

Elaborate

[candid solar]

They don't need them due to external sensory equipment.

You have the same FOV and everything, your eyes don't have a direct aperture to the outside world in MJOLNIR most of the time due to armor.

They're perfectly practical so long as you aren't throwing a stick at a land mine going 'unknown technology!'

[hexed geyser]

I Wish my mom didnt Confuse 3 For ODST

[safe dawn]

Welp

[hexed geyser]

no it was back in 2010/2011

[safe dawn]

I remember

You mentioned it before

[hexed geyser]

oh ok

[ocean herald]

Eh, to each their own. I understand they have external sensory equipment and this is a bit of a reach (since this is purely hypothetical) but if your external sensory equipment is damaged in battle you’re essentially blind at that point. You could say the same about a visor becoming cracked and limiting visibility I suppose but I’d say you’d still fair better in that scenario. The eyeless helmets was just an example, there are other armor sets/pieces that are just very irregularly shaped that would make mobility difficult and/or make you stick out of cover lol.

[fickle drift]

what happened to the queuing in ranked arena? went from always being about 1-2min to now 2.5-3.5 minutes searching

[safe dawn]

This is a good point

Emp = blindness

[ocean herald]

I also get that they’re just going for what looks cool so it’s whatever

[safe dawn]

Tbh, i feel like hemets like gungnir and the visrless hazmat helmet are more meant for hazmat operations where you dont want to risk the visr being a weak point

[candid solar]

That's basically why certain helmets are popular. Harder plating.

[hexed geyser]

IS Gungnir the helmet & Mjlonr (or how ever you spell it The armor

[safe dawn]

Gungnir is the helmet, mjolnir is the armor

[candid solar]

Halo is a clip factory 🤷‍♂️

[candid solar]

MJOLNIR's heavily hardened. This wouldn't really be much of an issue.

[safe dawn]

It has been in the past....

[candid solar]

So you know how Osiris kept blacking out on their way to rescue Chief?

[safe dawn]

Yes

[candid solar]

Due to Guardian EMPs.

[safe dawn]

Mhhmmm

[candid solar]

So EMP signals can fry your brain enough to force you to pass out.

Which is basically what was happening in that scene.

[safe dawn]

Im not quite sure i completely believe that

[candid solar]

Their armor was not only still functional, but it was also keeping its sensor systems online the entire time.

[ocean herald]

Functional seems like a strong word there. Didn’t it cripple their suits/systems? iirc it takes down your shields during that scene

[safe dawn]

Sidenote: im 100% certain that if the armor lost its capability to move itself, the spartan could just drag the armor along with them like a suit of medeaval (i dont like that word) armor

[candid solar]

Shields aren't the entire electronics suite.

[ocean herald]

Pretty sure the HUD was gone too?

[candid solar]

Nope.

[safe dawn]

What proof do you have of this

Bc the ingame visuals clearly show the hud fritzing out

[candid solar]

Literally the cutscene.

[safe dawn]

Uh, humans dont see static like that

[candid solar]

K

Still got its sensors working, so it doesn't matter.

[safe dawn]

Whatever, we just put it down as agree to disagree and return to original point of discussion

[candid solar]

Mhmmn. So basically-the UNSC's capable of amazing tech when it comes to keeping electronics getting fried, and EMPs are immensely overstated as a threat to electronic hardware due to lack of public information about EMP hardening.

[safe dawn]

Still, i dont see gungnir as a popular choice if you may have to face plasma wielding enemies, bc its been shown that plasma can quickly screw up your gear

[candid solar]

If you're getting shot in the head enough for that to matter you weren't going to last long vision or not.

[safe dawn]

Emp hardening is one thing, stupidly massive emps that no one couldve accounted for is another

[candid solar]

You aren't getting whacked with a Guardian pulse every battle.

[ocean herald]

I didn’t even say emp originally, I just said damaged lol.

[safe dawn]

My point exactly

[candid solar]

That said, Linda eats a full ravager burst to the unshielded dome in SOR and while her long range sensors were damaged, her actual personal vision was apparently unimpeded.

[safe dawn]

Would it be set up to handle a normal emp, yes, definitely, but one on such a massive scale, doubtful

[candid solar]

Which you aren't encountering daily. It's why we don't build tanks to survive nukes.

We build them to survive other tanks and anti tank munitions.

[safe dawn]

Im only stating that emps have been a problem

And tbh, i just remembered why gungnir canonically exists in the first place

[candid solar]

And I'm saying that it is a nonfactor in the majority of situations.

[safe dawn]

Spartan lasers

[hexed geyser]

343 Should add Crossover Weapons to Infinite ( E'G Banjo-Tooie's Kazooie Shotgun, Crash 3's Fruit Bazooka, etc

[candid solar]

It's a targeting package, not a protective measure.

[safe dawn]

They blind you

[ocean herald]

This almost feels like a power scaling argument lol. We know armor gets damaged and it’d be mega unfortunate if your external sensory equipment doesn’t work when you could have just had a visor (which was my original point)

[candid solar]

I'm explaining why you're overstating the issue's existence.

[normal owl]

Very good intermission to move this lore discussion to #lore-and-universe . Thank you!

[safe dawn]

Fair

[candid solar]

'Rugged and reliable' is an overrated metric for military equipment.

[candid solar]

Welp, there goes the convo.

[hexed geyser]

Can we talk about some ideas for Crossover Stuff for Infinite

[ocean herald]

Last thing I’ll say. I don’t think it’s an overstatement, I was just saying that the visor was more practical

[normal owl]

What would you like to see?

[hexed geyser]

the Crash 3 Fruit Bazooka & The Kazooie gun from Banjo-Tooie

[normal owl]

Wow I did not expect that. I would be down for that zaniness!

[cedar turret]

Halo/Rainbow Brite crossover is 10 years overdue.

[normal owl]

in which direction though?

[limber gazelle]

Being short is a state of mind bro

[hexed geyser]

i turned Halo 3 into an English sub Anime by making my mcc japenese

[cedar turret]

so it was turning japanese?

Do you really think so?

[hexed geyser]

yes i Basically Made a Halo Legends Prequel (not really but i like to call halo games in japanese that)

[limber gazelle]

Yall remember the halo mega blocks

[hexed geyser]

Mario = Lego, Halo =Mega blocks

whats next Ratchet & Clank with some other block company

if that happens then it'd be full circle

[faint mantle]

I made the original, Skyfi made this version with larger text. Why the birthday text I'm not sure.

[cedar turret]

Ratchet and clank would have to be an erector set

[candid tusk]

No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark.

[forest lagoon]

Genuinely no clue! That wasn't a tag I had added 😂

[hexed geyser]

Makes sense for them cuz their Games Have Saucy Names (in the us at least)

[forest lagoon]

Yeah, the MexicanMerty was because I added the text bigger for Merty and was trying to make it as easily searchable for him. No clue where the birthday tag came from

[ocean herald]

I searched “lock it down both of you”. No idea it was merty’s gif lol

[hexed geyser]

I wonder what people from japan think of the new operation in infinite (Cuz its japan based i think

[faint mantle]

My version is officially dead, it died with Tenor

Though it's odd how Sherlock survived

https://tenor.com/view/sherlock-sherlock-holmes-nobody-does-that-nobody-ever-those-that-shut-up-gif-23206715

Huh, maybe it's Benedict Cumberbatch

[covert dove]

[normal owl]

I am excited/not excited to have work off tomorrow, because a mid-week day of means I'm obligated to pack it with all the stuff needing to be done during weekday hours that I've been meaning to do.

[hasty zinc]

I work 7:30-11:30 😐

[forest lagoon]

Same

[normal owl]

Half-day is still better than a whole day

[hasty zinc]

I guess

[forest lagoon]

The excited/not excited part. Not the hours part

Guess what I get to do on my great mid-week day off!
I finally have time to start the mudding on my Sheetrock repairs. So excited woooo

[ocean herald]

I wish I had it off

[obsidian wyvern]

imagine being an adult

[ocean herald]

I’m gonna ask my boss if we’ll start recognizing it lol

[normal owl]

I totally get that "finally get to" but "ughhh"

Is anyone going to be in the Dallas/Ft Worth area on Feb 28 - Mar 2, 2025? Going to Lootfest, a mini gaming convention.

[obsidian wyvern]

me

[normal owl]

YES

[obsidian wyvern]

I totally know what lootfest is and what state Dallas is in

if Dallas is a state I'm leaving the server

[steady jolt]

TX

[ocean herald]

I’m going to the UK. To sconestown

[obsidian wyvern]

damn it, I was close to freedom

[normal owl]

No, you're close to France.

[ocean herald]

Is there a teaville?

[obsidian wyvern]

I hate scones

and crumpets

[steady jolt]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was a place called that here

[ocean herald]

That’s unpatriotic

[obsidian wyvern]

that's not real food

[hasty zinc]

bro that song by those Irish kids is such a bop

[normal owl]

U2?

[obsidian wyvern]

show some love to stckrs Scotland

[steady jolt]

Lmfao

[normal owl]

hahahaha

[steady jolt]

I'm crying

[ocean herald]

It’s a banger

[hasty zinc]

right??

[steady jolt]

It's got, as the youngsters today call it, "The Rizz"

[hasty zinc]

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm so out of the loop lol

[steady jolt]

(I have no idea what song we're on about)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV6uRftA-hM

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think I want to watch this

[hasty zinc]

your loss

[normal owl]

I'm allergic to that domain name.

Bucket hats being back in style is pretty neat though: good 360-degree sun protection.

[hasty zinc]

I could have used that at the air show

[ocean herald]

It’s worth it

[obsidian wyvern]

why did I watch it

[hasty zinc]

now watch it 5 more times

and jam out

[ocean herald]

Peer pressure

[steady jolt]

Anyone seen the film High Fidelity?

[obsidian wyvern]

made me realise how much I don't use tiktok too, uninstalled it lol

[normal owl]

Does the bridge just break it down and they spit some incredible rap?

[steady jolt]

With Jack Black and John Cusack?

[normal owl]

I sadly have not. Is that the one with the iconic image of Cusack holding the boombox overhead?

[obsidian wyvern]

nope, is it one to add to the list

[cedar turret]

You know once a bunch of my friends took me to a dock and then tried to convince me to fish

[hasty zinc]

classic

[cedar turret]

It was pier pressure

[steady jolt]

Next decade, but quality film

[steady jolt]

So when they're listening to the kids beats, and Jack is so mad about how good it is

That was just me

[hasty zinc]

omg

so you agree it's good then!

[ocean herald]

Not your whole friend? Which parts of him

[steady jolt]

It's really good

[normal owl]

Is the song title Rhyme Island?

[hasty zinc]

Spark is the title

[obsidian wyvern]

this made me laugh so hard

[ocean herald]

I was tricked!

[cedar turret]

Maybe next time you’ll do it right and get candy instead

[forest lagoon]

It's a city but let me blow your mind. The Greater Dallas area (Dallas-Fort Worth) alone has almost double my states population

[hasty zinc]

and dallas is bigger than Rhode Island and Connecticut combined!

[normal owl]

I watched it out of love for you guys.

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm surprised by how small Australia's population is

[hasty zinc]

thoughts?

[normal owl]

It is very catchy!

[hasty zinc]

very catchy indeed

[normal owl]

and also very uplifting lyrics, which is refreshing these days.

[cedar turret]

eh, if it doesn't mention the good year blimp it's not uplifting

[hasty zinc]

yeah they could have written a song about getting sloshed, glad they took this route

[steady jolt]

Probably living on a big island, where everything tries to kill you, keeps the population down

[ocean herald]

Eh idk I didn’t get candy last time. The ping/no ping thing on replies specifically is tough for me to remember

[cedar turret]

Ther rabbits seem to thrive well enough

[ocean herald]

Oof wrong reply lmao

[cedar turret]

Neither trick, nor treat for you

[normal owl]

It was sent via mail but apparently was eaten en route and it was not insured. Sorry about that.

Well if anyone ends up finding out they'll be in the Dallas/Ft Worth area Feb 28 - Mar 2, 2025, let me know. It'd be so cool to see someone from the Halo community IRL.

[hasty zinc]

dang I'll be there March 3rd 😦

[normal owl]

Perfect, my flight leaves on Mar 3 so we can still meet up.

[cedar turret]

Three days isn't enough time to make it out of the airport.

[hasty zinc]

oh crap, just got an email. It was moved to the 4th. The timing smh

[cedar turret]

You'll get lost on the little trams on the side

[normal owl]

I remember those! Almost missed my flight the last time I was there because of that.

[normal owl]

omg you're so crushed, I'm sorry!

[cedar turret]

It's not O'hare in terms of terrible airports, but it's bottom 20

[hasty zinc]

last time I flew I had to rush off the plane to make the next gate

[ocean herald]

My favorite is when there’s 15-20 mins between your connecting flights and the terminal is on the other end of the airport. Always wondered why airlines don’t figure that out

[normal owl]

did you say "Specibe" as people let you by...because you were russian?

[hasty zinc]

tht was on the way back though, on the way there, the crew didn't show up for the flight so they had to put us on a bus lol

but I got a meal voucher and ate BK so I was content

[normal owl]

YOU RULE

[molten shoal]

Hi

[normal owl]

Yeah it's like some cruel human experiment.

[molten shoal]

I made a new costume who wants the dm

[normal owl]

and I worry the baggage handlers won't have enough time too.

[cedar turret]

THat's funny, last time I was at Dallas/Ft. Worth one guy was carrying a little metal BK lamp as his personal item

[indigo lotus]

BK. Have it your way.

[hasty zinc]

I want a BK lamp

[ocean herald]

The baggage throwers lol

I just know they are rushing to get their job done

[normal owl]

Thank you for correcting me, yes. also a/k/a shotputters.

[hasty zinc]

this thing?

[elfin glacier]

hey Gamers ™

[normal owl]

Every time I look out my seat window and see the baggage handlers reminds me why I don't buy expensive luggage.

[cedar turret]

no

[indigo lotus]

I want BK. to have 1980s style nostalgia settings

[elfin glacier]

want to feel old?
The Nintendo Wii came out 30 years ago.

[ocean herald]

This unlocked a core memory of the bk motorcycle racing game

[normal owl]

?

[unborn galleon]

Just a tad bit off

[hasty zinc]

I don't want to talk about the Wii launch. Bad memories

[elfin glacier]

exactly. It was decades ago

[indigo lotus]

About 18 years ago.

[ocean herald]

I was 10 when the Wii came out

[hasty zinc]

I was 20

[obsidian wyvern]

..I was 2

[hasty zinc]

and I feel like a jerk the way I got a Wii around launch

[elfin glacier]

centuries ago

[obsidian wyvern]

not even, 6 days off from 2

[fickle drift]

huh, I was ten

[elfin glacier]

stop being younger than me i feel old

[hasty zinc]

youngins

[candid solar]

Hah old

[ocean herald]

So that why you don’t like reach

[candid solar]

Because he is sane?

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't like reach because I have taste

[ocean herald]

He was a mere child. He couldn’t understand the majesty of Reach

[forest lagoon]

Holy memories Batman!

[candid solar]

How old are you.

[obsidian wyvern]

actually I take that back, I'm a halo fan

[obsidian wyvern]

you don't understand how many times I replayed the last mission, wondering why it kept giving me a cutscene when I died

[ocean herald]

27

[fickle drift]

A tragedy, truly.

Encounter some bizarre tree with a face.

It was kind.

I made a deal to give it my first born in exchange for gummy bears

[indigo lotus]

A deal in Las Vegas!? For Gummy bears!?

[cedar turret]

Yeah I know; lucky me right

I suppose I could’ve held out for one of the foot long gummy rats but I haven’t seen one of those in ages

[indigo lotus]

Maybe the Pawn Shop Gold and Silvers might have it.

[cedar turret]

Weird name for a candy shop

[indigo lotus]

Who said it's a candy store?

[fickle drift]

first episode of house of the dragon made me feel all sorts of feelings, I HATE WAITING FOR NEW EPISODES WEEKLY

[cedar turret]

To have vintage candy? It’d have to be

[steady jolt]

I had forgotten what episodic releases were like, kinda liked having something to be excited for each week. Prefer binge watching only if there are a few seasons, and they already out

[amber mirage]

Yeah. That's why I prefer watching weekly. There's a level of hype you get that isn't possible with binge watching

[fickle drift]

the boys give us the first 3 episodes, then release the others weekly, best strat

[steady jolt]

Kinda also prefer the longer seasons with slightly shorter episodes

[fickle drift]

sounds like live service drip feed
i like my 1 hour episodes

[amber mirage]

Same 23 minute episodes is the sweet spot for me. 1 hour episodes have a lot more work to do stay engaging throughout their full runtime

[fickle drift]

well if the series are good like GoT/HoD/the boys then 1 hour isnt an issue to keep you hooked

how long are the halo episodes again

[amber mirage]

Yeah. That's why I said "a lot more work to stay engaging"

[hollow void]

I don't like weekly releases. What if I die before seeing the finale?

[steady jolt]

More the ~40min episodes for me

[hollow void]

Some Netflix shows release all episodes at once

[fickle drift]

1 good thing about netflix

well or bad

[hollow void]

Yeah man I don't want to wait one week for a 20 minute animated series

[fickle drift]

if you're like me and would sit there 8 hours staraight watching the whole season

[hollow void]

cough Invincible

[amber mirage]

Drama works a lot better with on a weekly schedule

[hollow void]

Yeah lol

[amber mirage]

It's far less impactful if a show has you wanting to see what comes next, then letting you see it immediately afterwards, rather than keeping you waiting and wondering for a week.

Loses a lot of the fun of suspense

[steady jolt]

Talking about last night's episode in work the next day

[amber mirage]

Exchanging theories

[fickle drift]

Its weird to think thousands of people who have watched the first episode wont live until the end of the season because they have died, but we dont think about that coz we're young, but some 90 year old man probably watched it yesterday and was like wow that was great now hes not here

maybe that was too deep im going to go back to watching merlin now

[cedar turret]

How can I enjoy this toasted bagel knowing someone might stub their toe later?

🙄

HOTD season 2 didn't release with at least 2 episodes. Big sadge

imagine if hbo made halo series

the intro would have been a better quality than the whole of the current show

[indigo lotus]

Stupid dog you stole my bagel.

[hollow void]

I swear I thought paramount and HBO were the same thing

An Apple TV Halo series imagine

Can't believe the same place where Star Trek is made came out with the Halo Show. Such a disappointment

Weird question, anyone know what 343 employees look like ingame? Like is there a uniformity among tags or something?

There's no uniform, however most will have the 343 nameplate

ive never been a coffee guy, but i do enjoy one every so often. im a morning person so i just generally dont need magic bean juice.

Ok looks like they already delisted a bunch of titles (unless I'm late to the party and they've been delisted for a while).

Of those remaining and still not on sale, I went through the whole marketplace and here are some personal recommendations of heavy hitters to keep an eye on for the next and last sale:

• The Bureau Declassified
• Dark Void
• Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (starring Andy Serkis, one of my favorite gaming journeys of all time)
• Lost Planet 2
• Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
• Nier
• Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
• Sanctum 2 (not BC)
• Singularity (not BC)
• Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed
• Splinter Cell: Conviction (and Blacklist too)
• Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition
• Supreme Commander 2
• Toy Story 3 (actually very good, and developed by Avalanche)
• Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise (also actually very good)

On sale now and worth taking a look at:

• DmC Devil May Cry (not BC): $1.99
• Remember Me (not BC): $1.99
• Street Fighter x Tekken (not BC): $1.99
• Too Human: Free (more as a curiosity: if I remember correctly, this was one of the early major games developed with government sponsorship as an economic foray, and it ended badly and had to be pulled from shelves)

[hollow void]

None I can afford even on sale

[forest lagoon]

*yet

[trim saddle]

Im waiting for a new splinter cell and didnt they give a little hint about it before?

[amber mirage]

Most (if not all. I'd need to double check) of these are back compat, so they shouldn't be affected by the closure

And they did announce a Splinter Cell remake was starting development

[trim saddle]

I remember too human, it was such a fun game and had decent replay value as well.

[normal owl]

I might have to re-run Xbox's back compat list. Some of those were not last time I checked, so hopefully they've continued to crank out more.

[normal owl]

Well it + armor pack are both free for some nostalgia!

[amber mirage]

Yeah Too Human is permanently free

[trim saddle]

i may give it a download lol i swear there was some form of coop i think?

[amber mirage]

I haven't played it yet to know

[obsidian wyvern]

there was a street fighter x Tekken game?

[signal wedge]

really want AC shadows but most likely it will be 130 dollars lol

[signal wedge]

Ubisoft will do anything but that

[amber mirage]

They confirmed a new one was in development

[signal wedge]

it's a remake right

[amber mirage]

Yes

[normal owl]

Yeah they brought Tekken characters into SF's world!

Man I miss the option to grab the text list of BC games.

[hasty zinc]

I MIGHT give Elden Ring another shot

[normal owl]

Couldn't load Xbox's alphabetical list of 657 BC titles so had to use Wikipedia's list of 633. Marked all non-BC titles.

Well that was over an hour [well?] spent.

[ocean herald]

anybody that has NOT had game pass before want a free 3 month code? it's for new members sadly 😭 so i can't use it myself

[cedar turret]

They need to add fear to that list

[ocean herald]

it's for pc game pass

[cedar turret]

Just post it I’m sure some kid will be happy to have it

[hasty zinc]

or one happy bot

[ocean herald]

yeah i rather just dm it to someone if they want it lol

[trim saddle]

Dm would be better IMO, itll actually get to a human that way.

[normal owl]

I think it's delisted. Only seeing 2 and 3 for sale.

Also, LOTR War in the North delisted. Great times with that game. 😭

[obsidian wyvern]

oh look there's a real human

[hasty zinc]

I agree. I am a real HUMAN. Please send code

[obsidian wyvern]

bro the robot too lmfao

[trim saddle]

aegis with the rename.. lmao

[signal wedge]

is it just me or is discord a little slow

[solemn ibex]

Hey, so I had to join the Discord to tell someone about this and I didn't know where to go, but I have been having insane ping and network connection problems on MCC; and just now I was in the lobby waiting for a match to load, when all of the sudden (after like 5 minutes of loading) it said I was kicked, and I got a timeout penalty. Has something been wrong with MCC for a while? Is it just me?

[normal owl]

Haircut complete!

Absolutely love this golden week after a total haircut when it's all short and takes 1 minute to get it ready.

[hasty zinc]

24 minutes left of work

[normal owl]

Soon you will join me in off-work bliss!

[worthy cobalt]

Hiii, one question, which game has the most players online?

[hasty zinc]

probably fortnite

[worthy cobalt]

halo infinite, masterchief collection...?

[worthy cobalt]

aww man 🤓

[normal owl]

@obsidian wyvern might know

[trim saddle]

oh nice, ill be getting that today when i log in after work weeee

[bold sail]

Depends on the time of day and the kind of day. I know that weekends get well populated alongside Wednesdays due to challenge resets. Peak hours are between the afternoon at 15:00 EST to 23:00 EST in evenings.

I know that PC has the Steamcharts but it doesn't add on the console players if you want to narrow down the times.

[bold sail]

This list is for the games on the 360 correct?

[obsidian wyvern]

infinite

and for mcc itd be 3, then reach

though i legit couldnt find any matches for quick play about half an hour ago

[bold sail]

Because it's morning for the US. Europe you'll probably have to wait another 1-2 hours.

[obsidian wyvern]

it was fine when husky raid was its own playlist, cant even find that with all the other modes in the mix too

[normal owl]

Yes via the Xbox 360 marketplace. Almost all of them (except the italicized ones) are backwards compatible. The 360 marketplace has been delisting games and will totally shut down after mid-July.

[pulsar cobalt]

Pretty sure you can still buy the 360 stuff just gotta do it on xbox one now

[bold sail]

Shoot not good. I'm almost out of time. I still have a 360 though.

[normal owl]

Right, this is important for games that were not either made backwards compatible or re-released on XB1/Series.

[normal owl]

That's great, then all of these games are good to go for you. Official FAQ here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/xbox-360/store/xbox-360-marketplace-update

[hasty zinc]

holy cow look at this Origami

ONE sheet with no cuts

[pulsar cobalt]

Should i use chief today on fortnite

[wanton steeple]

I forgot I had chief on fortnite

[dim wagon]

how to image perms so i can display my hubris

[wanton steeple]

I wanted him so bad too 💀

But hes hella rare he like barely shows up

[signal wedge]

activated booster and got 1000xp in one match lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Wait he is ?

He use to show up alot at some point

[obsidian wyvern]

[fickle drift]

i just joined and saw someone with 343 so this must be an actual legit server.

[floral pollen]

its the official Halo server

[fickle drift]

I’m getting a PC in a few days I will be playing MCC soon, I thought I would join.

[forest lagoon]

Welcome to the party!

[meager linden]

I'd prefer to say better than that
Welcome to the Halo addiction, once you try and you never leave

[fickle drift]

Yes I agree, It was the first game that I ever played when I was young and I’m still playing it.

I just took a break for a while, My old PC broke.

[meager linden]

My first game was Infinite not even Halo CE

[fickle drift]

Mine was Halo 3, My father brought it when it first got released.

I mostly play Reach anyway.

[meager linden]

Go try on legendary difficulty
It will be funny and the same time hard

[fickle drift]

Oh I have done that many times. It’s Outrageous but I’ve still managed to complete it a few times.

[meager linden]

I'm still recovering after legendary trauma
Damn was hard, but i still managed to end

[obsidian wyvern]

aye same

[fickle drift]

Nice!💜😌

[floral pollen]

My first Halo, and one I still play constantly is Infinite, but I love Reach and 4 as well

[trim saddle]

Gonna show my age here but my first halo was CE on demo at the game store.. i played The Silent Cartographer on repeat for hours while the family walked the mall lol Ive been playing halo ever since.

[fickle drift]

Started with CE at a friend’s house back in ‘03.

[dim wagon]

does anyone know a way to make it so that I don't constantly get matched with people playing their first game?

every lobby there's 2-3 people who are clearly booting up their first game

skin, emblem, 0-many

[trim saddle]

Thats just SBMM working as 343 intended. gotta "balance" the teams so its an even match.

[dim wagon]

hm. well hopefully they figure that out, as going 20+/under 5 and losing every game is a great way to make people not want to play

SBMM seems like ideally it would populate lobbies with similarly skilled players. would definitely rather wait longer for a game than to get put into lobbies with players who are literally worse than bots.

theyre no fun to play with, and boring to play against

[spring nymph]

Legendary firefight halo 3. Need 1 more

[trim saddle]

do bad long enough and theyll throw you into an easier match, and they wonder why people reverse boost to tank their hidden rank? lol

[dim wagon]

don't want an easier match. I just want to avoid what are essentially impossible matches

[trim saddle]

which 343 thinks are winnable, according to their numbers.

i dont get it myself, but i play other games and dip my toes in infinite every so often because of that.

[dim wagon]

they underestimate 'people's ability to mindlessly run into the entire enemy team

i got back into infinite recently cause they brought back true BTB with genuinely good maps

definitely about to drop the game again though due to this phenomenon

[trim saddle]

and the match composer is a huge addition, makes things better for people.

[warm delta]

Anything new in halo today

[dim wagon]

i guess. pregame lobbies with voting would be superior. the system was never broken before

[trim saddle]

i just wish theyd label the playlists a bit better, like 4v4 instead of quick play.

[obsidian wyvern]

1 min 30 lol

and then i match a 343 employee??

[ocean herald]

i thought those were bots

the 343 gt's

[candid solar]

Haruspis.

[obsidian wyvern]

nah thats the lore dude lol

[candid solar]

... Well, yeah, you matched with Haruspis?

Unless you were already playing with him IG

[obsidian wyvern]

nope

[jade gust]

I wish that was me

But also that's super awesome you matched with him

[hexed geyser]

how Lucky you are!

[hasty zinc]

I thought gamertags can't start with numbers

rev I'm pretty sure that's a bot lol

oh nvm

I misread lol

I didn't see Haruspis

next time I'll read the entire chat

[hexed geyser]

I have Strong Nostaliga Towards Halo CE & 2 back in 2010 (I was 5 Back then btw, Not sure if i had the Big Controller but it Wouldve been Uncomfortable for me cuz Big Controlers Dont feel right in a 3-6 Y/o's palm iirc)

[trim saddle]

Do you get something for playing with a 343 employee or just "oh cool im playing with one"

[obsidian wyvern]

outside of playdates, nothing

[trim saddle]

ah, biscuits.

[hexed geyser]

guys i speed ran the last mission on Reach (& the one That wouldve made me sad as a kid) (Its still sad to me now)

[trim saddle]

i imagine they get "i can haz blue flames?" a lot like how it used to be "i can haz reconz?"

[meager linden]

I liked to stay long as possible

[frosty siren]

Do laso...

[meager linden]

LASO on Halo Reach and Halo 2💀💀
Jackal snipers are everywhere
And white elites on every footsteps

I don't think they'd do as much

Does anyone wanna help me with an achievement on halo mcc

[hidden axle]

Asd

[storm lark]

?

[warm grail]

tons of new people are starting to watch streams on KICK, plus it’s you get 95% of what you own, while twitch gives you 50%

[civic walrus]

what’s the achievement?

[storm lark]

100 splatter kills in match made games

[ocean herald]

Too much controversy surrounding that platform

[warm grail]

oh I didn’t know that sry, is it because they’re paying the popular streamers to come to kick??

Only one row I need to beat to get Hero career rank
After a few games I will got diamond, so technically only onyx left

[past parrot]

Probably because of the weird stuff that happened on the platform recently

[ocean herald]

Their TOS is/has been a bit shaky and they’ve been in the news lately for not good things. An ex employee came forward recently with some internal stuff that wasn’t good

[fickle drift]

heheheheheheh

hewwo

[polar chasm]

I might have an idea about the Halo Remake

[safe dawn]

Congrats, your halfway there

[polar chasm]

So basically, what if Halo CE was remade into Halo Infinite Style

[safe dawn]

You mean the one that doesnt exist?

It was never confirmed to be a ce remake...

[polar chasm]

I'm just building on rumors that's all

[safe dawn]

Building on rumors is a terrible idea

[ocean herald]

You’re saying same movement/mechanics but keep the original story?

[polar chasm]

Yes like that

Like I heard a while back. I can't remember when but 343 asked if we wanted a unified Matchmaking

For older halo games and the new one

[safe dawn]

You mean master chief collection?

[polar chasm]

No no, for Halo Infinite. Before they announced the Match Composer, they asked if the Halo community wanted a unified game experience. I can't remember exactly when but I remember it because it got stuck in my head

[ocean herald]

I’m personally not that interested in a remake. I feel like MCC just needs a little more TLC and I’d love Halo 5 to be included

[polar chasm]

What if they bring all the games into Halo Infinite. In a way, we got all those games and their attributes (weapons, cosmetics, etc)

[safe dawn]

Halo 5 is larger than the mcc itself, so i doubt thats happening

[ocean herald]

It’s very unlikely, I was just saying what I’d like to happen 😔

[safe dawn]

Again, that would make the game absolutely massive, so i doubt it happens

[polar chasm]

In a way, we get DLCs for the Game. Not the Campaign DLC we were expecting

[proud valley]

Jiu-Jitsu is better than Muay Thai

[ocean herald]

They wouldn’t want the older games stealing the thunder of the latest offering

[safe dawn]

Being completely honest here, a campaign dlc being in development is far likelier than this ce remake part 2 rumor

[ocean herald]

It’s actually fazoli’s

[safe dawn]

Factually untrue

Also stop giving info on where i live

[ocean herald]

They always microwave my spaghetti just right at fazoli’s. Peak Italian food
