[fickle drift]

I got up to Gravemind prison 2 times and spent a long time trying to beat it
Cairo Station is almost worse than Gravemind cuz you have to bring Johnson thru the entire mission and he can glitch out

Jackel Snipers will end runs

[cerulean belfry]

cairo station is just surprisingly harder than the other mission 2 for some reason

[fickle drift]

its easy if you follow a guide on youtube, just takes time and patience, you can also cheese checkpoints if you die

the only part that's truly impossible without glitching it is the prison because the enemies will always kill you before you even go down the lift

[cerulean belfry]

I’ll probably look into that at some point

[fickle drift]

Infinite LASO was easiest cuz of the tank gun

[cerulean belfry]

its fun to fight infinitly respawning enemies

[fickle drift]

Have you ever found The Rex Easter egg in Halo 2?

[cerulean belfry]

what was the arbiter mission after regret with the sentinals that respawn?

[fickle drift]

yes

Noice

[cerulean belfry]

i beat infinite to get it out of the way and some cosmetics if im being honest

[fickle drift]

on Outskirts

[fickle drift]

Yup

[fickle drift]

i know that one, just forgot the name; it might be quarantine zone

[granite sky]

sacred icon mayb

[cerulean belfry]

is metropolis an overratted mision in your opinion

[cerulean belfry]

its either that or sacred icon

[fickle drift]

metropolis is alright, I prefer outskirts more

Wanna know what I wish Halo Infinite mp bots could do?, Drive Vehicles

[cerulean belfry]

dont think they can do that in campaign either

[fickle drift]

Nope

Then again Halo 4's ai

Tended to uhhhhh drive you off cliffs

[cerulean belfry]

im just gonna say it halo 4 only had the cortana and cheif sidestory going for it other than that ots just basic and the multiplayer is a cod wannabe

[fickle drift]

Yup

the best part of Halo 4 is the Cortana model

[cerulean belfry]

yeah the also had cortanas model that got nerferd in the next game

[cerulean belfry]

same wavelength lmao

[fickle drift]

real and true

[cerulean belfry]

that’s actually sad tho

only other thing i can say is the mantis was fun to ride around for a little bit

[fickle drift]

I think Halo Infinite was supposed to have it because Jazwares realesed a toy for Halo Infinite that was the Mantis and it came with a Halo Infinite Headhunter fig this was during the release period of Halo infinite

It was apart of the Wave 1 of the 3.75 figs

[cerulean belfry]

remember the rc manntis

[fickle drift]

I thought they did release a mantis, it just had an EVA or something

[cerulean belfry]

That mantis that came with a remote could look around and fire rockets

[fickle drift]

It was but it's the Halo Infinite/ Reach Design

ah okay

[cerulean belfry]

or am i the only one that got that

[fickle drift]

I have some Jazwares, but I mostly collect Lego Halo

[fickle drift]

you're probably the only one

[fickle drift]

I wanted to but it sold out

[fickle drift]

I do the Action figures and the mega stuff

[cerulean belfry]

i got that limited needler nerf gun and its epic

[fickle drift]

I tried getting into Mega back when the Infinite sets released but I just couldn't, it felt wrong

[cerulean belfry]

i dable in what collectors things i can afford

most sets are just overprices cause they got retired

[fickle drift]

Noice , I remember when Halo mega was called Halo Mega Bloks Halo mega is what actually got into Halo

[cerulean belfry]

my goal before i die is getting the megabloks scarab

[fickle drift]

There's more coming the New Wasp just released

[fickle drift]

This is a man of taste

where do i post photos in this server

[cerulean belfry]

i used to have a scorpian set but it actually was missing pieces and i got pissed

[fickle drift]

I don't think you can I'm starting to see why those people who where bullying me got banned now lol they must've posted something bad

[cerulean belfry]

i also got to apologize for the spelling errors i use browser discord on mobile

[fickle drift]

I have a lot of Lego Halo builds on my PC, most are incomplete tho

It's all good

I've finished the CE Blood Gulch base & a middle section of Elongation from H2

I also did an FOB from the Infinite campaign

[cerulean belfry]

im recreating the zanzibar map from halo 2 in fortnite creative to see if it would be fun

[fickle drift]

There's a mod I'll recommend to you MCC Bot boot camp it's a mod on the Steam Workshop the bots are better than infinite's bots they can drive even just be warned they're tought to play against

[cerulean belfry]

I’ve actually got fiesta rulesets working with weapons that function like the ones from halo

i get not liking fortnite but its a passion project of mine

[fickle drift]

I played for 15 mins and said heck no

My brother was right it's dumb

[fickle drift]

can you get it on Xbox PC app? I don't have MCC on Steam unfortunately

[fickle drift]

I think it's only for steam

But you know of the mod have fun with it the bots are only for CE atm

But the author plans to expand

Halo 2 is next year

[cerulean belfry]

master cheif hitting the griddy after running someone over with an olive green cyber truck goes crazy

[fickle drift]

I don't reallyl ike it because I remember when the game had innopropate emotes plus it made a generation much more ruder tbh

[cerulean belfry]

fair there are some “not nice words” in that game

[fickle drift]

I think MW2 (2009) made a generation pretty rude lol

[fickle drift]

Well that was a mature game

[cerulean belfry]

heard some kids playing with my cousin that just cussed at him when he was carrying and the yelled no matter what he did. (I was playing halo 2)

[fickle drift]

I just think the Fortnite generation and their "womp womp" and "cope + seethe + whatever" when you say anything remotely opinionated is annoying as hell

[cerulean belfry]

i agree and yet i still play

[fickle drift]

I havent touched fortnite since ch. 2 launched years back

[cerulean belfry]

playing fortnite on a switch has made me humble in a way compared to others

[fickle drift]

I never built in the game either

[fickle drift]

Fair enough and like I stated some of the emotes are not necessary like the L one I know what the L dance is it means loser

[obsidian wyvern]

this all still would've happened with some other game, it's not fortnites fault lol

[fickle drift]

yeah, it's more so tiktok

[cerulean belfry]

i got left behind in terms of building they evolved i didnt

[fickle drift]

building is just lame to me, I don't like cheesing fights like that

oh someone cracked my shields and has me close to death, let me build a skyscraper

[cerulean belfry]

It feels scummy when you see people building hotels

that was never the plan for it

[fickle drift]

it definitely takes skill to do, I just don't play like that

[cerulean belfry]

Yeah but pc is just held by the hand too and it’s honestly unfair

[fickle drift]

My Brother will kill me like he said I would since I played it

Not litterally lol

[cerulean belfry]

thank goodness for the edit button

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm convinced this brim is setup for cross-core it fits perfectly on alot of helmets using a glitch

[fickle drift]

Agreed

Instagram doesn't have one💀

[cerulean belfry]

images in general is possible?

[fickle drift]

That's because they're an Inheritor

[cerulean belfry]

Oh

how does one get that privledge

[fickle drift]

That's a good question

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern helo

[cerulean belfry]

come to think how do you get more roles

[elfin glacier]

you get inheritor by buying 5000 blitz packs for halo wars 2

[fickle drift]

Idk bud what I do know is that i'm going to see one of my brothers tommorow which I'm very excited for

[obsidian wyvern]

no, by sending me 300£

£300

[elfin glacier]

($34.52, current exchange rate)

[fickle drift]

By Sacrificing your soul to 343

[cerulean belfry]

im gonna head off for the night

nice chill chat

[fickle drift]

Good Night!

[elfin glacier]

yeag that's what i said

[fair iris]

Eat it

[elfin glacier]

wtf

[fickle drift]

NUH UH

[elfin glacier]

.

[fickle drift]

50 dollars is nothing to me

You must make a BLOOD SCARFICE

[elfin glacier]

50000 blitz packs

[livid oyster]

Yo anyone know what the deal is with matches not starting. Just constant cycling of the map preview

[fickle drift]

I think the game is down

/ broken is what osmeone said just play against bots

[livid oyster]

Ah ok

[chilly spire]

hey guys, is anyody´s game crashing at finding a match???

[fickle drift]

Alright Gents and Ladies I'm offically retiring for the night, Good Night

[obsidian wyvern]

when someone's in a fire team, there's a chance that one of them doesn't load in

[fickle drift]

Make sure to be here for Tea at noon tommorow

[obsidian wyvern]

and then you get that loop until the match ends as a tie or the affected player closes their game

[pulsar cobalt]

I must say this brim makes alot of helmets look funny

[tidal hatch]

Is everyone getting the message "one or more members is on pc and has invalid EAC"

[rapid vortex]

Yeah, I just fix it by restarting the game.

[livid oyster]

That's unfortunate

[silk belfry]

Bruh how hard is it for 343 to put a jet black/purple armor coding on halo infinite

[autumn forum]

yea but its pretty difficult when i cant find games (sorry for late reply lmao)

[pulsar cobalt]

There's so many purple coatings lol

[fickle drift]

You wanna be part of a SP grind group I'm trying to put together?
We need a team of 4, there's currently me and another guy

The strat is to queue Firefight and blow ourselves up as soon as the game starts, it ends the match and counts as a completion (giving 100 Spartan Points)

I think it's the fastest way possible, I have tried 2v2s but that can take just as long as a normal match

[pulsar cobalt]

343 tomorrow we have fixed a unintended bug allowing players to gain SP by killing themselves in ff 😂

You just know it will happen

[fickle drift]

I hope not LOL

I need 20k more to get Haunted, at least let me grind it for that long

yes guys teen romance where Chief makes Cortana real so he can clap young halseys cheeks!!

ayo

literally from what I've heard, the plot of 4

Inject the Warframe helminth strain into your blood and sacrifice your sanity and humanity for it

exactly, whatever that means

anything for cortana

he would

[autumn forum]

if 343 doesnt patch it then sure im down

been looking for a group to grind with anyway lmao

[fickle drift]

I don't think they will, they'd have to really change how the system awards the points if so

[autumn forum]

true

[fickle drift]

whats your GT? I'll add you so you're on my friends list, we'd just need 1 more

[fickle drift]

I tried 2v2's and people were low-key playing like they were in siege or valorant

[autumn forum]

altho im pretty tired rn been playing almost all day might hop on tmrrw

[fickle drift]

np, I'm just chilling rn anyways

[autumn forum]

swag

[fickle drift]

yeah 2v2 is unreasonably sweaty for some reason

[autumn forum]

hmu whenever i might be playing around that time, also sidenote do custom games award sp?

[fickle drift]

I don't think so, just BP xp

[autumn forum]

damn i was gonna say ff takes quite longer than normal matches and attrition vs bots might be the go to strat if so

[fickle drift]

FF can be done in a few seconds I think, just spawn in and nade urself

yesterday I was testing it and jumped off the map when my teammates were down, still got SP

[autumn forum]

yea my message got deleted but i completely forgot the strat u mentioned a min ago lol

can u tell how tired i am 💀

[fickle drift]

if it was awarded in customs I'd do KOTH insta-cap with 1 bot

or the MCC match completion strat where you start a custom game & end it right away, doing that was tedious for the achievement

[autumn forum]

swag

[signal wedge]

🤨

[fickle drift]

spartan you wanna join the grind

[autumn forum]

im so glad they made dragonborn noble purchaseable for 500 so that u dont have to buy the megabundle

Halo 4s Cortana was so... Detailed

[fickle drift]

what is that

[autumn forum]

[fickle drift]

ah yeah, i dont fw fracture cores ngl

[autumn forum]

theyre alr i really only like specific pieces from them

anyway ima head to sleep

[fickle drift]

Aight bro, ttyl

bro reach was so good I was playing it while my fever was running and passed out on the third to last mission at sword place after Kat got ||scoped by a grunt that appears as Bipbap the menace in infinite||

and I dozed off

and I was noble 6 getting my cheeks clapped by the covenant

and I woke up

lost asf

[summer bridge]

I love halo.

[void flicker]

Can you guys please make BTB sentry defense permanent?? This has happened with a few game modes where it’s the only thing I play and then once the featured playlist is up it’s gone. I love this mode!!! Also love attrition.. but that’s another story

Pleaseee add back BTB SENTRY DEFENSE. lol

[meager linden]

We all

[fickle drift]

sure I'll cheat

[robust sleet]

Im so mad today

[robust sleet]

its national gfs day and my social media feed is filled

[meager linden]

It be like that

[sonic sedge]

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[fair iris]

Hello spartan

what doea that mean?

[fickle drift]

Need something?- Random Skyrim Npc

Must've been the wind- Every Skyrim Npc

[fickle drift]

Just delete social media, ez fix

Gfs are overrated anyways, they need to much of your time & attention, and that can be better spent grinding Halo Infinite for Hero rank/Haunted helmet (Im so alone)

Bungie CEO Pete Parsons reportedly spent over $2.3M buying classic cars after the Sony acquisition

This was uncovered the same day he made a statement saying they laid off 220 employees because the company has been dealing with 'financial challenges'

[fickle drift]

Yikes

Still not as much as he'd have to spend to get every cosmetic bundle in Infinite tho

[hearty flame]

Ok?

2.3m isn't nearly enough to cover the full-time budget of 220 employees

Assume each of those employees even baseline made 20,000/year (well into poverty at that point) that's still 4.4 million.

On top of this, his funds aren't company funds.

[fickle drift]

Hi

[hearty flame]

Hi

Couple that with the fact that going from making Halo to a brand new game like Destiny, you don't want or need a massive team, that was the best time to cut people

[jade gust]

We're not in the early 2010s anymore, Destiny is a well established franchise at this point. Not sure why you think that's important to why the layoffs happened

[hearty flame]

Also it's over a decade old events with a game company that develops a dying shooter-mmo that's been having trouble for almost a decade

Yeah exactly, does he even work at Bungie still

[ivory hollow]

chat

my parents are getting a devorce

[jade gust]

Did you really just ask if the CEO of Bungie is even at Bungie?

[hearty flame]

He could have left at some point between 2011 and now, that's not unreasonable. Even Kotick left ABK.

Imo you asking me if I was asking that is even worse than me asking it.

Not everyone stays up to date with who is and isn't part of Bungie. In fact, I try to actively block Bungie news where I can because of how much of a dumpster fire Destiny 2 ended up being.

[jade gust]

Pete Parsons is the current CEO of Bungie, at least two of the cars he bought were bought just after the first round of layoffs he is personally responsible for last year

[hearty flame]

Oh I thought this was something that happened in 2011.

[jade gust]

If you can't be bothered to do even the smallest amount of research into what's going on, don't comment on it

No! This is stuff that happened both last year and yesterday

[hearty flame]

I read the dude's summary and thought the "sony acquisition" was when Bungie departed from Microsoft's first-party grouping

Don't know why I would have had to have done more research than that when it seems like it came from the horse's mouth

Anyways, there's no use getting mad over garbage like that. Hopefully The Final Shape or whatever the last Destiny expansion is becomes Bungie's Final Release and they shut down.

I wish all the devs good will and that they find work where they are respected and appreciated, because Bungie clearly doesn't give them that.

[jade gust]

Bungie partnered with Activision originally for Destiny, that's why in 2018, everyone was celebrating them splitting away

[hearty flame]

Oh yeah that's how the story went

[hasty sail]

Denme admin

[fickle drift]

so cringe, the r/Halo discord requires your account to be a few days old

I just wanna grind Spartan Points BRO

[hasty sail]

No se

Xd

[fickle drift]

xddd

[fair glen]

343i finallly listened, nice you can finally buy bundles in parts instead of being forced to buy the bundle

now to get all the attachments crosscore -_-"

[smoky token]

not cringe

they do it to prevent spam

frankly i’m surprised we don’t do that as well

[unreal hearth]

This game reeks rn lol

Servers worse than ever

[fickle drift]

sbmm garbage too

useless teammates non stop

[cedar turret]

we do

[onyx oasis]

If only Bungie kept the old servers up so I could play something fun

[jade gust]

Why would Bungie be responsible for the servers of games they don't own?

[smoky token]

how’s that? this guy has a 2 day old account

[willow hedge]

Is it true that the mark 6 gen 1 kit is coming to infinite

[kindred agate]

I also heard that third person is coming to infinite. Any truth to that?

[cedar turret]

That was day one. There's a few thousand persons now

[fickle drift]

just matched with Mint Blitz

I thought people were just talking smack when they said he hogs power weapons and doesn't play the objective, but they're spot-on lol

[willow hedge]

Gotta hit them clips

[fickle drift]

at least he didn't quit this match

[willow hedge]

I have been lied to abt the mark 6 kit it seems
Someone made a render just to trick me 😭🙏

[jade gust]

People do be like that online

[willow hedge]

This is why I got trust issues lol

[fickle drift]

it should be a core so they can port over all the Halo 3 armor

[tranquil loom]

Any one know what percent of how many coatings are left that aren’t cross core?

Just curious on the progress

[haughty wraith]

Mostly just the reach armor cores coatings I think

[obsidian wyvern]

reach ones are mostly cross core

[fickle drift]

any tips for two betrayals legendary?i cant do it istg its so hard

[smoky token]

two betrayals is the one where 343GS meets Cortana right?

[obsidian wyvern]

https://youtu.be/2-Abc0DJCxg?si=YBYXZ9Nj_gNfVUE7

https://youtu.be/icKF89eCac8?si=ttiOrh-13cy7YQ__

I haven't actually started my CE legendary run yet so idk which video is the better one

but they're the 2 ppl I've been watching for guides

[fickle drift]

yes

[fickle drift]

thankss

[meager linden]

I passed this level without skipping, it's actually very easy

Skipping levels is very boring

[obsidian wyvern]

yea but if you're going for the 3 hour achievement too you need to do some skips

and 2 betrayals is so long

[fierce iris]

anyone wanna tell why i was banned for getting black screens and being disconnected instantly after matches?

[ocean herald]

there are a few matchmaking issues right now with people getting disconnected/not able to join games. i've heard of a few getting incorrectly banned

[fierce iris]

why tho? why am i getting banned for 343's issues?

i have never willingly left a match

[signal wedge]

cope seethe mald

[ocean herald]

i'd just open a ticket. it's not just you though. as far as the banning, it's because the game "thinks" you joined and left

[fierce iris]

you like the taste of boots?

[signal wedge]

😵‍💫

[obsidian wyvern]

it's weird because even when the game ends as a tie, you can still get banned

[jade gust]

Unless you want them knowing everything on your machine, they can't track why you left, easier to give bans based on leaving regardless of the why. These server issues happening right now aren't helping

[fierce iris]

that and black screens after loading don't help

[fierce iris]

i'm on xbox, so not sure how that'll do anything

[prisma jasper]

if my game just crashed rn will it save

[jade gust]

Same still applies. You leave a game, regardless of if it's you willingly doing so because you quit out of it or turned off the console yourself, or it happens unwillingly because of server issues or power outages

[winter flame]

Long story short, 343 can’t track you got disconnected due to a server side issue

And obviously they can’t treat DCs different from quitting

[fierce iris]

so because of a broken update i can't play, thanks

[winter flame]

Otherwise people would just pull the Ethernet cable rather then quit

[ocean herald]

bro we don't work for 343. open a ticket lol

[fierce iris]

i did

[winter flame]

Ur welcome

[jade gust]

They do know about the server issues happening and are working on a fix

[winter flame]

I’m just gonna wait

Only time I feel the need to play is when they add a new map to ranked lol

Gotta learn new maps when everyone else is

[ocean herald]

i didn't get on yesterday but i did the day before to try out vip. def a mode where you need comms, otherwise it's not as fun

[next ibex]

what if they added a option to match with people who have a mic

[hasty zinc]

it would segment the playerbase

[ocean herald]

not necessarily. iirc reach had a preferences section for matchmaking that seemed to work well

[left bone]

i used those preferences too, because of that-- i stopped being silent with my mic

until i broke it by accident (i fell and broke my headset.)

[normal owl]

Happy Friday Eve

[next ibex]

yaaay

[rare cedar]

i'm about to go to sleep and wake up to my friday

[next ibex]

im going to go to sleep soon

[normal owl]

Living in the future

[next ibex]

australia time

[rare cedar]

japan time 😮

[normal owl]

Please tell us people living in the past what amazing things happen in the future!

[next ibex]

lets see

literaly nothing just checked lol

[normal owl]

I hear that in the future, breakfast is called brekkie.

[next ibex]

yes very futurey

looks like inifinte shop prices keep goin up

[normal owl]

When people said "We rise together!" the shop was like "me too, I'm a part of this!"

[lapis ivy]

Apart prices going up forge is getting better

[normal owl]

Can't help who we inspire.

[lapis ivy]

How's it attorney

[normal owl]

Well, I accidently let hot coffee flow over the part of my mouth where I had dental surgery last week, so I am awake now.

How are you?

[lapis ivy]

Doing good thanks 👍 hope your's too

[left bone]

man i loved the part when the shop said "its risin' time" and started to raise its prices all over the place

[normal owl]

Yes indeed, thank you!

[lapis ivy]

All I'm doing is collecting SP if something good comes up on the exchange u never know

[jade gust]

Nah, that's just what we call it 'ere in the UK

[normal owl]

That's a good way to approach it: just let it be a regular part of your life and then, hey, if you see something you like, why not!

[lapis ivy]

🍻

[next ibex]

see a want the exchange to show everythhing that you can buy with spartan points

[normal owl]

Did not know that! Makes sense though that etymology for Australian terms would be rooted in UK.

[jade gust]

Aye

[lapis ivy]

Yesterday was trying to get a slushy from stripes but it was terrible

That I got a soda instead

[jade gust]

Though don't start looking into cockney rhyming slang... It's a very deep rabbit hole

[normal owl]

I do wish the shop would show every single purchasable item: so no matter where you're coming from--armory, shop, or exchange, you can see the complete purchase info.

[obsidian wyvern]

damn I missed a play session 😩

[next ibex]

im curious if anyone else shares this opinon with me but i want a filter option to see stuff made for the specifec core

[normal owl]

I love filters: part of normal shopping. Would love this.

[jade gust]

Would definitely make things easier

[left bone]

i agree

the horizontal selection thing doesn't help either

[fickle drift]

Heard ya’ll slandering the horizontal panel layouts and I want in.

[next ibex]

the yori core and eagle stike a very themed so other amor doesnt really work on them

[left bone]

why not just put the stuff in a nice cubic list beside your spartan instead of

spread out like peanutbutter?

[lapis ivy]

I wish the next thing they added to forge would be skybox background clouds from zeta halo if there are more cu updates

[obsidian wyvern]

they should just have tabs. you can open up the armour coating section, the emblems section, shoulder pads section etc etc

for the exchange*

[left bone]

it really doesnt help when it takes a looooong time to look for that one cosmetic just hiding in the list

even worse when it blends in

[next ibex]

yea i have so much stuff it makes it so hard to find stuff

im going to count my helmets

[normal owl]

At this point, it would be a lot easier for buyers if we simply had 4 tabs: Shop, HCS, Exchange, Catalog (all items purchasable with $; with optional filters by core, product type, bundles vs items that can be purchased individually, etc.).

[next ibex]

84

[left bone]

💀

good luck finding that one helmet you want to wear

[normal owl]

Armor Loadouts please

[left bone]

i would like to have player-made armor kits too

[normal owl]

This would be incredible.

[rare cedar]

ive been playing d2 with my coworker, you're good

[next ibex]

i swear i scroll thru the list and im like what the hell is this and how did i get this

[normal owl]

They made a sequel to Dolls 1?

[left bone]

sorting out armor pieces for a look can take a while

so i wish there was a way to save those options like as an armor kit together

[rare cedar]

Q2 2023

[normal owl]

Yeah, loadouts. And having aforementioned filters would help, so we could look only at cross-core items if we wanted to build loadouts that would work on any core, etc. Save up to 5 loadouts or whatever.

[next ibex]

i need it so much i love changing the look of my spartan like between my flood spartan or my halo reach spartan

[normal owl]

I wonder if they're already working on something like this, because if the business strategy at this point is to facilitate revenue via cosmetics, then you'd naturally want to expand buyers' ability to use it in order to encourage them to purchase more.

[fickle drift]

I remember when pre-launch we thought the layout for the core system was actually room for multiple player presets.

Good times. Made sense.

[next ibex]

i liked the core systeam just sometimes i helmet would be better one a difernt core

[normal owl]

"See, you can do even more with what you bought. Doesn't that make you want to buy more?" is a common part of seller strategy.

[next ibex]

i swear there is not 1 good chest peice for the mark VII

[normal owl]

the triple knives

"Letter Opener" or something

[next ibex]

wait we should also be able to sort my who made it eg flood, banished

[left bone]

trash idea: in PSO2, there was a system where you can upload your original outfits ingame so people can see them, give likes, and wear them!...if they have the items. there's also tags for which outfit you want to see specifically like "cool" or "funny"

in infinite, i want it to have that feature too. it would be nice to see how other people made their spartans outside of matches (but i also worry for loads of master chief bootleg spartans and weird abominations.)

(don't ridicule me, i like fashion.)

[amber mirage]

If you look at someone's player profile, you can inspect their armor, so that kind of already exists.

Not specifically searchable or browsable though

[left bone]

yeahh but for me its just a little

underwhelming

[jade gust]

What would be more funny is a reverse of that. Let me go round like Agent Smith in Matrix 2 and force everyone to look like my Spartan

[left bone]

if the system somehow gets brought over, i would like it to have sections where "new", "popular", "most liked", "most used", or "most funny" can be chosen from

also, add a search bar to it too

[left bone]

"and once everyone's agent smith...no one will be...."

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-we-are-not-free-gif-21678927

[next ibex]

with all the banish amour that came out ngl i now want a game where you are a spartan who joins the banished

it could be real cool

it could be like that 1 mission in halo 2

where you fight another faction

fighting the covanant and unsc

[jade gust]

If we play as someone within the Banished, I would want to be an Elite

Can't remember who suggested it but a Halo 7 where the story is similar to Halo 2 in having two sides, one where you play as Jega, that would be cool

we do not allow buying/trading/selling here

[normal owl]

@solid laurel This is not a marketplace.

[next ibex]

can you send me a pic tho i want to see what it looks like

[solid laurel]

Sorry don’t know

[solid laurel]

Sent you a pm

[jade gust]

There's nothing quite like being reminded that Bill Paxton died when you're watching YouTube

[normal owl]

Whoa I forgot he had passed away.

[jade gust]

Yeah

Like, I appreciate that when they brought back his character in Agents of SHIELD, they got his son to play a young version of him

[normal owl]

Oh I didn't know he was in that: I think I got to like S3 or something.

[jade gust]

Bill Paxton is in season 1 as a major character

Then in season 7, they go back in time and encounter a younger version of him

[normal owl]

Oh wow I totally forgot that: must have been buried under the pile of content since haha.

[jade gust]

Fair

[ocean herald]

he was only 61 😔

[jade gust]

For Paxton's role alone, I recommend a rewatch

[signal wedge]

wow I totally don't recall this character in aos

[jade gust]

Also, pretty sure he's the only person to be killed by a Terminator, a Xenomorph and a Predator

[signal wedge]

that is cool

[covert dove]

[rare cedar]

He was great in Twister

[rare cedar]

good morning to you too

[jade gust]

Not seen Twister

[covert dove]

Good morning!

[meager linden]

Just finished operation
Now i need to buy a new one

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[next ibex]

yay

operations are getting better now

[twilit vector]

Ok this getting annoying
The game not properly working after a few macths and i know its not just me because others are having the same problem to

[next ibex]

where you keep getting server issues and the maps wont load?

[ocean herald]

i can normally get 2-3 matches in before i get the "dedicated server error" message

[rare cedar]

It’s frustrating but my work around, which works just about every time, is to quit the game and launch it again.

Get 2-3 games in, reset, and keep going

[normal owl]

Is that from the Azure cyberattack?

[rare cedar]

This is prior to that and the CU

[normal owl]

ah ok

[fickle drift]

Oh yeah that's right monster is very acidic my meds don;t like that

[ocean herald]

yeah i've seen a few people say restarting "fixes" it

[rare cedar]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Until an official fix is implemented, that’s my fix

[twilit vector]

... Hope they get a fix soon because that dose get slightly annoying

[narrow nebula]

Bonjour, un channel français ? ou pas du tout s'il vous plaît ?

[meager linden]

Speak only English or Spanish

[normal owl]

Yesssss!

"Around the time it was announced earlier this year, Citi analysts estimated the new service to encompass about 55% of U.S. sports rights."

Heaven only costs $43/mon

[trim saddle]

Oh look at all that money im saving by not being interested in sports lol

[ocean herald]

i wonder if there are any limits to which games you can stream. that deal seems to good to be true if it's all games included

[narrow nebula]

?
Is French prohibited here?

[ocean herald]

it's english and spanish channel only server https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/471742245419220993

[normal owl]

I believe it's essentially a combo of all games for which any of the participating companies have broadcast rights, which is awesome. This one happens to include everything I wish I could watch: NCAA football, NFL, MLB, NBA, and some of my buddies watch NHL like mad, so this is a sweet bundle.

[normal owl]

Haha well that is true.

[ocean herald]

ah gotcha. is it still limited to your region for which games you can see?

[narrow nebula]

so no French channel? it is not normal..

[meager linden]

Just accept it

[normal owl]

I don't know. I would assume not as that wouldn't make sense for games that would otherwise be able to be streamed out-of-region to suddenly not be able to do so, but I'll hold on until I find out. Good point on that one.

[narrow nebula]

Hmmm no XD

[ocean herald]

i don't think we have many french speakers, also not sure if there are french speakers on the mod team to moderate a french channel 🤷‍♂️. you could always message mod mail and ask

[meager linden]

Rules are rules, nothing personal

[robust sleet]

Good eve halo chat

[steady jolt]

We only have support for English and Spanish here unfortunately, so need to ask to keep to those languages. We have dedicated latam chat and LFG channels :)

[robust sleet]

I like your hair!

[steady jolt]

Thanks 😄

Think this might be my favourite color so far

[upbeat lintel]

Halo

[hasty zinc]

source?

[normal owl]

Toyota

(4Runner)

[fickle drift]

reddit told me 343 is to blame for my car insurance being so high, is this true

[amber mirage]

It's true. They send data about every Warthog you've ever driven to the insurance companies, and the companies use that as proof of reckless driving.

[granite sky]

all the crashed warthogs and pelicans 😿

[jade gust]

Even that one time I crashed that Golden Hog?

[fickle drift]

all warthogs have black boxes confirmed

[amber mirage]

Especially that

[trim saddle]

I have the need for an offroad warthog gokart, akin to what the "grindhard plumbing co" guys do on utube.

[obsidian wyvern]

so apparently you can betray someone 3 times, get booted but still rejoin the match if you have a teammate in? bruh

[ocean herald]

ngl that'd be pretty funny

thank god they're gone!

oh no...

[analog knot]

In MCC if you betray and think the other person has the boot option, you can quit/rejoin before they click it and you'd get around it basically.

[obsidian wyvern]

pretty sure I booted them, but that'd make sense

[placid flicker]

when are we getting an actual halo RTS with ship combat

I’m tired of playing sins of the prophets and stellaris

[elfin glacier]

tomorrow

[jade gust]

I hear it exists over in Earth-2

[obsidian wyvern]

epic start to the match

ok idek how i won that

[jade gust]

You had a Mark V on your team, that's how

[meager linden]

Good night Spartans

[hasty zinc]

people at work are annoying me today

[hexed geyser]

im happy infinite utilises the PS4 controller light bar on the steam ver

[hasty zinc]

I had a guy who was getting an error, so he took a screenshot of the error, then saved it. Then he opened Excel, inserted the picture into excel, saved the excel document and then attached it to an email

[faint mantle]

Did you get that fixed at least?

[jade gust]

Why didn't they just send the picture

[normal owl]

Just respond with the solution by:

• Including a URL in your reply email...
• ...which links to a photos folder that requires a password...
• ...which you put in his Excel spreadsheet that you attached to your reply email...
• ...which was sent secured requiring an auth code.

and the picture is just your discord pfp all huge with the solution text in 6 font on Buzz's forehead.

[covert dove]

[meager linden]

How to make the problem even bigger than it was initially
That's literally me

[cerulean belfry]

whats going on?

[hasty zinc]

I'm done with today

"there's orange juice under my laptop keyboard, what do I do"

buy a sippy cup, have a great day

[fossil skiff]

that’s gotta be a NPC

[elfin glacier]

idk if its been posted yet but number corporation is looking into the connection issues

@obsidian wyvern deeenf

[steady jolt]

Yep, they tweeted a few days ago

[faint mantle]

I didn't know your company hired Icky
@viral dune congrats on the job!

[bleak granite]

i loooove

me some mega bloks

[elfin glacier]

oh ok

[elfin glacier]

omg ickty gj

[obsidian wyvern]

yes but I'm just annoyed there's no fill in

[tight remnant]

I do wish mega distribution was better

[warm heart]

Real

[bleak granite]

tru

i still love it tho

[graceful inlet]

Good night.

[viral dune]

Thanks, man! I'm very excited!

[bold sparrow]

Been having that same issue.
Either its mostly bots, or I run into the exact same people I did last time I played which was literally 3 days ago.
VERY VERY STRANGE

[near tree]

Yo, has anyone ever... Just not booted into a match before?

Like, I'm definitely in a match, I'm just served a blank screen

[fair iris]

It bug

[near tree]

I can vividly hear my teammates dying around me, but all I see is darkness
I even tried shooting to see if it'd make a sound, but I can do nothing

Is this how war feels?

[obsidian wyvern]

you wont load in, gotta restart

[near tree]

Is it a common/known bug?

[near tree]

The match? The game? The Xbox?

[obsidian wyvern]

the game

[near tree]

Alright

Will I be penalized for leaving? Will my teammates get another if I stay?

[obsidian wyvern]

youll get kicked and penalised anyway so you just gotta hope it doesnt give u a ban lol

[near tree]

Oof!

How common is it? Should I even try ranked rn?

[pulsar cobalt]

Torchbearer helmet with the brim 343 why is this not a thing

[obsidian wyvern]

very common, like 1 in every 3 games someones got that problem

[hearty flame]

This is actually such a sick helmet

I feel like the brim helps separate Halo's iconic silhouette from generic sci fi helmets

[tight remnant]

A lot of helmets are lacking attachments already

[near tree]

Has 343 made a statement on it? How long has it been going on?

[pulsar cobalt]

Did this helmet also and it's such a shame it's not a thing

I really think 343 should make some helmet attachments cross-core i really do

[tight remnant]

I'd definitely like them to do that. And even in the same core there are attachments that need to go on the helmets already

[pulsar cobalt]

So many helmets can benefit from this brim

as you can see like on torchbearer above

[worthy siren]

Anyone else feel the DMR nerf effects, MKB players worse than controller?

I was soo used to the 5 shot kill speed, since the update I am finding it difficult to win 1vs1 with my playstyle.

[pliant hatch]

what's a dmr

[red warren]

anyone having matchmaking problems with multiplayer?

[pulsar cobalt]

Most people are 343 already know's

[worthy siren]

Yeah our sqaud dropping players every few games.

[grave nebula]

is it just me who encounters really toxic players? In the past month I've had 2 people message me hate for no reason at all after a match

[pliant hatch]

it's an issue that 343 is investigating

[worthy siren]

yeah we get a few hate messages every few sessions.

Just ignore and report if its really Toxic/racist/homophobic or transphobic, thats what we do.

[grave nebula]

Someone told me to 'enjoy your ban' because i got two more kills than him. The community is small enough as it is, why can't people just be friends

[pliant hatch]

probly thought you were cheating

[worthy siren]

people think I am smurfing cos I play with my fiance and friends who are lower csr.

[pulsar cobalt]

Is this screenshot new or old i swear i've seen it before

[grave nebula]

I have never seen that before

Halo 5 maybe?

that's a halo 5 pelican so it must be

[red warren]

im disliking the new quickplay matchmaking >.<

just want to play oddball

[jade gust]

Some really early concept art for Infinite used H5 era designs

[random sentinel]

why am i getting banned for 30 minutes a game that didnt load and ended in a tie

[grave nebula]

I remember the Infinite flight test had halo 5 chief on the icon for it

[pliant hatch]

if you haven't quit previous games that loaded, you should report it on the support site.

[random sentinel]

i am reporting it but none of the options are viable

i didnt have a "behavior" reported

[pliant hatch]

do the ban one

[true grove]

And why are we being kicked randomly from games? Getting unable to join messages amd games not starting at all? And then getting banned?!

[pliant hatch]

select other or just describe the situation

[pliant hatch]

It's a known issue that 343 is investigating

[true grove]

It's been going on for at least 2 weeks

[pliant hatch]

yeah

[true grove]

Any word on when a fix can be implemented?

[pliant hatch]

nope

[true grove]

I'm just worried that the already decreasing player base will decay even more due to these issues

[pliant hatch]

I wouldn't be surprised

[true grove]

I already encounter 3 minute waits for a game just to find I'm getting kicked

Doesn't feel like much is happening in the way of a resolution. Even recognition of the issue by 343 and an apology might help?

[amber mirage]

They acknowledged it and said they're looking into it

[true grove]

Otherwise, it seems like they just hope people will but the battle pass and stay quiet until the next halo fiasco happens

Sorry. By fiasco I meant game

its alllllll of it

[amber mirage]

No problem. Maybe that's a Twitter setting, but I'm not sure which one

[random sentinel]

even ranked

[halcyon vale]

bans for leaving should be disabled til this is fixed

Halo fell off

[smoky token]

ok

[robust spear]

Your welcome

[covert dove]

You’re

[pulsar cobalt]

Bless 343 for making the boba fett coating cross-core

[fierce mango]

Not bad

[hexed geyser]

guys halo infinite campaign or crash rumble

[stark sierra]

Boba fett 😂

[stark sierra]

Haven’t played Infinite because I’m still playing the Halo 1 campaign on MCC 😆

[fickle drift]

Boba Fett Aproves

is it better to have reload or switch weapon on a paddle

[obsidian wyvern]

think about what you want to be able to do whilst keeping your thumbs on the sticks

[fickle drift]

im not sure, whats the answer?

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean, that's up to you lol

[fickle drift]

well its not really a preference thing entirely, though. Like there has to be a somewhat more efficient choice

[obsidian wyvern]

it'd usually be stuff youre doing in a fight, reloading probably isn't one of them, or at least not as common as swapping to your secondary

[obsidian wyvern]

it depends on the layout you used before

if your swap weapon happened to be on a bumper, then you'd probably keep it there and swap one of your ABXY buttons to a paddle

[fickle drift]

ooo right right. okay I'll tell you my current binds

[cloud holly]

How do we use emojis' and reactions from other servers?

[obsidian wyvern]

nitro, but you need the inheritor role to use other server emojis

[calm fiber]

Inheritors are folks with veterancy, a record of good behavior, and currently active

[fickle drift]

LB: grenade, LT: zoom, RB: melee, RT: fire, Top left paddle: switch wep, Bottom left: crouch, Top right paddle: reload

LS click: sprint, RS click: equipment

thing is, I put both reload/switch wep on paddle, but i heard having equipment on a paddle is important

[obsidian wyvern]

what's your jump

[fickle drift]

oh

bottom right paddle: Jump

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah that makes sense, smthn youd use in a fight as well

[fickle drift]

yeah but isn't having equipment on RS click bad?

[obsidian wyvern]

idk about bad, but I have it set to melee

being able to look around and punch with just the right stick

[fossil skiff]

I have my equipment** set to B

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't have paddles but equipment is RB, older games it was X

I think my B is crouch/slide now

[fickle drift]

isnt it important to aim while using equipment?

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't move my thumbs off the right stick, just move my finger from RT to RB

so I'm still aiming whilst using it, yeah it is important lol

[fickle drift]

how do you do that without paddles

[amber mirage]

It's just shifting your index finger

[obsidian wyvern]

^

I think a lot of people have their index finger on the bumpers and middle fingers always on the triggers but I never did that. probably should do

[amber mirage]

I only do that in some situations

Only for a short time before shifting back to index up top only

[obsidian wyvern]

I think fn is the one shooter where I sometimes consciously do it because I need to swap between weapons quickly whilst keeping my finger on the trigger

[amber mirage]

I can't even recall when I do it.

[fossil skiff]

I just do index and move finger as needed, don’t trust 2 fingers

[fickle drift]

im so confused. so wait.. dont u need your thumbstick free for using equipment

[fossil skiff]

personal preference ig

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm confused by your question

[fickle drift]

cuz i have equipment on RS click which is what i aim with

[obsidian wyvern]

my RS is to look around right, I also have it bound to melee. but my equipment is set to RB, so I'm using my index finger for equipment and still have my thumb on RS to look around

[fickle drift]

yeah thats the default controls

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I only changed like 1 or 2 binds from the default

[hot orchid]

any1 wanna play Halo pubs shoot me a message...

[fair iris]

Sup yall

[fickle drift]

I'm slowly turning into a Physco Bandit from Borderlands

If I start talking about Meat Bicycles run

(They're Cannibles)

We need Craig to return in his full glory

In Halo Infinite as a boss for firefight that'd be extremely halarious

Then again Halo isn't borderlands i.e no halarious content/ childish content because the majority of the jokes are for grade schoolers and high schoolers

[signal wedge]

craig died

[fickle drift]

No that's not true that's impossible!

[lavish eagle]

Why don't Halo 5 and Halo infinite have split screen?? tbh Split screen carried the halo saga, I remember playing it with my homies and I love every Halo game 😥

[candid tusk]

Infinite has split screen multiplayer at least.

[lavish eagle]

Multiplayer is not the halo I know

[fickle drift]

I will refrain from not ranting for 5 hours

[lavish eagle]

I don't care about multiplayer. I play campaign mode.

[cedar turret]

Halo 5’s split screen was removed due to your numerous syntax errors.

[static fjord]

Halo

[lavish eagle]

Moreover, I hate getting too realistic graphics.

They are too detailed and it lowers my fps to below 30

I wish Halo infinite (Xbox one edition) had the same graphics as Halo 5 where it could run at 60 fps

Xbox 360's generation was perfect 😮‍💨

[smoky token]

graphics isn't everything

shaders, occlusion, world sizes, the amount of things you are physically rendering

size of the textures even

its more than just the polygon count

[lavish eagle]

Then I guess Halo infinite is not optimized correctly for Xbox One...

[smoky token]

Really wish people wouldn't throw that word around so much

[bold sail]

Feels like punching a brick wall huh?

[smoky token]

its worse if you actually know a thing or two about game development

particularly about how game art and graphics work

[cerulean belfry]

im holding out hope

[smoky token]

for split screen in campaign?

[cerulean belfry]

just something good in general

[lavish eagle]

That was very cool ngl

[lapis ivy]

I doubt there would be a split screen in campaign

[cerulean belfry]

just been replaying the older games

[smoky token]

ive been replaying various Source games

half life, portal, and the like

[lapis ivy]

But hey music in forge just made my day and forge creations soar

[cerulean belfry]

ive been going through halo 2 on legendary cause i never had the patience for it before

[obsidian wyvern]

idk what I'm doing but I decided to simultaneously try for the 3 hours legendary halo 2 and 3 run

[cerulean belfry]

halo 3 feels way more fair than halo 2

[smoky token]

halo 3 is widely considered the easiest halo game

[obsidian wyvern]

get annoyed at one mission, go to the other game. get pissed at both? taking a week break

[obsidian wyvern]

3odst is

reach was easier than 3 imo but that's just me

[cerulean belfry]

i wouldnt say ithe easiest butvueah what revenant said

[lapis ivy]

And halo infinite is somehow like odst and reach being vulnerable to be killed easily by the banished

[smoky token]

??

[obsidian wyvern]

infinite is probably the easiest LASO

[smoky token]

ok.

[lapis ivy]

Imagine playing in legendary

[cerulean belfry]

huh

[cerulean belfry]

that sounds like your saying it is really hard

[lapis ivy]

Yep

[obsidian wyvern]

I skipped legendary for infinite, jumped from normal to LASO because I heard it was easier

[cerulean belfry]

i didnt go through legendary on infinite i played on heroic and decided im not playing the campaign again

[fair iris]

Lol

[obsidian wyvern]

fairs

[lapis ivy]

Is it hard like I said?

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't like the campaign so I'm surprised I've gone through it so many times

[cerulean belfry]

naw it wasnt hard i just got bored of the setting almost never changing and the lackluster story

[lapis ivy]

Agreed

[cerulean belfry]

hunters went crazy but they hardly showed up

[lapis ivy]

The red banished are very nasty compared to the regular ones

[bold sail]

I may not know but it's similar to how a project is done. Especially for construction and to fulfill a contract. Rome wasn't built in a day.

[cerulean belfry]

i think graphics tend to shine through when pushing through limitations like CE for example

thats probably just old game enjoyer bias

[lapis ivy]

Halo 3 is actually easier cause the master chief in the game is total legend but in infinite he's pretty vulnerable like in odst and reach

[fickle drift]

But it fell🤓

[cerulean belfry]

wassup RC good to see ya

[fickle drift]

Oh about to play Borderlands 1

So I can add another episode to my Youtube basically

[cerulean belfry]

nice bout to continue Quarantine Zone on halo 2

[fickle drift]

Noice

[cerulean belfry]

i should probably work on the script for my video essay instead though lmao

[fickle drift]

Lol

I graduated so yeah and mentally I could not handle college

[cerulean belfry]

how big of a star wars nerd are you i gotta know

[fickle drift]

That's how underdeveloped my mind is I question if I could even pass a Driver liscnese test tbh

[fickle drift]

I'm mostly into legends I watch some of the newer stuff I won't dare touch The Acolyte

[cerulean belfry]

If my sister can get a license im sure yoo can

[fickle drift]

I mean the test would not be hard

It's the Written part

That would hit me hard

[smoky token]

i was hoping you'd be chill...

[cerulean belfry]

i thought the written part was the easier part?

[cerulean belfry]

I gave that show 4 honest chances but i just genuinely didnt like it

[bold sail]

Certain Nintendo games do prove your point.

[cerulean belfry]

for me it was kinda like the halo show star wars

[fickle drift]

I'm only not touching it due to what people are saying

[smoky token]

what are people saying

[fickle drift]

It's pretty bad

[cerulean belfry]

i just found it boring

[lapis ivy]

And doesn't Zelda tears of the kingdom have any good graphics as a Nintendo game?

[cerulean belfry]

id say it good if you dont zoom in

[fickle drift]

I won't hate on you for it lol

[lapis ivy]

As a sequel to breath of wild is pretty hard

[fickle drift]

I'd have to say I'm more into The Clone Wars And the Mandolorian and Book Of Boba Fett

[cerulean belfry]

naw i found the game to be a cakewalk

[lapis ivy]

I like forge lol

[fickle drift]

Sgt Forge is really cool

[cerulean belfry]

i couldn’t enjoy boba fett it felt more like buddy friend

[fickle drift]

Ngl

[lapis ivy]

No bro the mode in the game

[cerulean belfry]

Witch sucks cause Boba is my favorite star wars character

[fickle drift]

Ah ok it can be fun I bet if I could understand the newer Forge I'd love to watch maps come together

[lapis ivy]

👍

[fickle drift]

I personally hate, hating on others for liking things in general I find it rude

And unnecessary

[cerulean belfry]

im recreating last resort from halo 3 in fortnite

also ima head off i gott focus on my mission

[fickle drift]

Aight

[lapis ivy]

Agh Jesus I forgot to call my PC shop earlier and ask them if they could upgrade my PCs storage

[fickle drift]

They require you to do that? 💀

[lapis ivy]

They probably do

[bold sail]

Yep. Though that's due to Monolith Soft helping out on both games.

[fickle drift]

I'm having second thoughts about getting a PC

[lapis ivy]

I was thinking about getting the MSI but it's all the same with the storage and not recommended

[fickle drift]

Ah ok

[lapis ivy]

But you could it's not recommended for me tho

My issue is storage

[fickle drift]

Ah gotcha I'm looking at cheaper alternitives from Microsoft

I'm getting a laptop just to play mods on MCC

And many other WW1 and WW2 shooters that are not on console

Like for Example the Red Orchestra Series

There are many workshop mods for that

As well as the Dlc for The Western Front is free?,

There's also bots to play against and many custom maps

Then there is Squad 1944 coming out

Red orchestra 2 and 1 I beleive are 3 gbs

(Gigabytes)

Oh 1 is 2 gbs

[cerulean belfry]

ight so mission done i was on the gandola section forgot that was the last part

and now imnon gravind and your almost dead rught when you start

[fickle drift]

Good Night my friend

[haughty wraith]

Don't yall just love being told to "play better" by your overly competitive teammate in the social playlists?

Mind you a teammate that was hiding the whole game to get kills too

[cerulean belfry]

cant relate but i do hate the beginning of the gravemind mission and bs it puts you through

[haughty wraith]

Let me guess, where you're put on high Charity and you keep getting murdered by the brutes immediately?

On legendary

[cerulean belfry]

i got a checkpoint so the very very start isnt the problem

its the time to kill with the weapon given to me plus how many and how quick just one can kill me

[haughty wraith]

Try to use those hallways that the enemies run out of as cover

[cerulean belfry]

ight ill try that again

ight i got in one now what should i do lol

[cerulean belfry]

i got dual brute rifles a needler in my pocket and no grenades

[cerulean belfry]

alright i got a checkpint that not hard (unfair) i just have to hit my shots

[meager linden]

High Charity actually easiest level on legendary
But not the last mission, where you go to mausoleum of arbiters

[cerulean belfry]

explain i dont get it

but the mission im on is Gravemind

[covert dove]

[bold sail]

Honestly I'd just take things in stride when it comes to Star Wars.

[cerulean belfry]

any of you guys see that new batman show on amazon?

[signal wedge]

yeah the acolyte looks so bad

but Jude Law would be in skeleton crew. Looking forward for it

I don't want to be that person... but the actress could only make one face. And not to mention..... Lesbian space witches... which would be a cool idea if it wasn't Star Wars

And then they disrespected Anakin

[cerulean belfry]

Didnt they say he blew up the Death Star

[signal wedge]

Yeah the afro hair Jedi

[cerulean belfry]

lmaooo

[signal wedge]

but tbf actors not knowing much about lore is common. Thats not what made me not watch the show

[cerulean belfry]

But they should atleast have a basic understanding of the franchise if its big

[bold sail]

It's just a job to them. Nothing else.

[signal wedge]

I mean... wrong skywalker but close enough

[cerulean belfry]

but still im sure there were hordes of people that could do a better job maybe they could hire people that care

[meager linden]

I'm used to calling current locations in games, not mission names, that's why I said that High Charity, not Gravemind
Because of the Gravemind mission going on High Charity

[cerulean belfry]

yeah but what did you mean by its the easiest

[meager linden]

Easiest level on Legendary difficulty

[cerulean belfry]

but how

[bold sail]

Playing with the scarab/bandana skull on?

[meager linden]

No

[cerulean belfry]

them how

[feral chasm]

So when is 343 actually going to fix the server issues?

this should be like a top priority

[meager linden]

Civil war between the Brutes and the elites (Sangheili)
They are killing each other

[feral chasm]

I bet they are cheaping out on server resources because they just dont care anymore

[cerulean belfry]

but what about the parts when everyone wants you dead like the beginning

[meager linden]

Separatist forces and loyalists

[void magnet]

Guys GOTY today

WOG 2 is TODAY guys

[plush hollow]

i made it to platium 1 on halo infinite

[cursive skiff]

[steady jolt]

If they really didn't care, they wouldn't be doing anything about it. Let's not try and spin this please

[candid solar]

Microsoft as a whole was having its Azure servers DDOS'd, which Halo uses.

[fickle drift]

damn

[analog knot]

Has that been happening for weeks? That’s rough if so.

[obsidian wyvern]

azure doesn't have any problems right now

and I'm pretty sure it was like a 2 day issue on their side, from what I could read on their website

[bold sail]

Maybe for a hot fix but it is something that could be a while to completely repair.

[neon carbon]

@lament parrot hai

[fair iris]

The weapon talk to much

[bold sail]

Just like her mother.

[valid grotto]

That's the stare I give the person who asks me to give them something I have none of

Money

So can anyone tell me why grif hasn't burst through the doors of my work yet .. I work with pizza and an orange Spartan hasn't ran in demanding pizza yet

[covert dove]

[tired wraith]

That takes effort

Your confusing grif with someone who tries

[normal owl]

Happy Friday

[tired wraith]

Whahoo

[next ibex]

but if i fall asleeep it would be saturday

[normal owl]

Sleep sounds incredible right now, and it's only 9:15a here.

[vapid siren]

It's not a 343 thing its pretty plainly MS/Azure

but hey whatever keeps the hate train goin

no sir dont look at things big picture like how xbox went down a TON this month, azure had an outage for office/outlook, and so on and so forth

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-principal-skinner-skinner-children-out-of-touch-gif-4463952

Is it maybe MS kneecapping 343 again, no its 343 whos bad

[bold sail]

No common sense apparently.

[analog knot]

Is every azure game having this issue then? I’ll admit I’m a bit localized to MCC which has been fine - it’s had the same server issue for a while, but it hasn’t changed at all.

[bold sail]

Haven't had much problems with Wars 2 despite an occasional crash or 2 in the last few weeks.

[bold sail]

I know you risk losing a day but sometimes the stress is too much and sleep helps.

[vapid siren]

not every server is built the same

thats why when outlook went down the other day not literally every service went down

thats also why they want as many tickets as possible to pin down data and also just flood MS with em cause thatll get em to actually move lol

[analog knot]

Well sure, but I think you’d expect to hear about it a bit more if it was such a broad issue. But it’s true, it may be an azure issue focused on Infinites servers specifically

[vapid siren]

see now why would MS admit the issue

fr tho like... it should be pretty clear that something is going on deep there at that kind of level and 343 has about as much power as we do in this situation, but are taking a LOT of the blame unnecessarily

(again)

MS dont kneecap 343 challenge (literally has not been done since the founding of the studio)

[analog knot]

Its kind of expected no? The face of the product is who the customer will go to

[vapid siren]

thats shooting the messenger then

[hasty zinc]

unfortunately not eveyone uses critical thinking

[bold sail]

Least I outgrew that line of thought.

[vapid siren]

its THAT kind of thinkning and behavior that gives us why we dont hear from the studio and dont have as much transparency on things

[analog knot]

Customer shoots the messenger, company shirks responsibility, and the circle continues. Not unique to 343 at all

[vapid siren]

it isnt unique to 343, but happens to them a LOT more than others I'd say

less unique more disproportionate

[native crescent]

I think for the casual players who are not following social media will just assume it's a fault on 343 servers and move on. Only a small percentage will actually look into the issue and try to figure out what's happening.

[vapid siren]

see and thats fine but if they dont follow socials they the also arent likely posting and can stay blissfully (or in this case angrily) ignorant

but for those that DO follow and post they get no excuse imo

[analog knot]

I mean yeah, our focus is in a Halo server and on Halo twitter and Halo reddit so the feedback we see will be Halo related, algorithm working overtime 😄

[vapid siren]

i mean... people figured out quick when it came to helldivers and sony

meanwhile over here....

[bold sail]

Could be akin to hidden/suppressed resentment from the old days 14 years ago.

[vapid siren]

i just think halo players are especially dumb

gonna be blunt here

[native crescent]

How nice coming from staff...

[analog knot]

And if you spent all day with League of Legends players you'd probably say the same thing I imagine

[vapid siren]

im not staff lol

thats a very airquotes role

[native crescent]

lol ok

[vapid siren]

im here of my own free will

see i can be critical and mean to sam and uny all i want (ok maybe not vile but still)

SAM YOUR DRIP SUCKS

[vapid siren]

also i dont say it without a LOT of evidence supporting my claim

[vapid siren]

do it im ready

[hasty zinc]

take me with you

[analog knot]

Hopefully after the server issue is fixed they share a writeup of what happened

[vapid siren]

nah

[analog knot]

I enjoyed that a lot in the past 🙂

[vapid siren]

its MS and they wont share

[native crescent]

papa MS won't let them

[vapid siren]

why would 343 need to know

when you lose internet at home does your ISP give you a writeup of what happened

nah you just see its back and carry on

maybe you hear "oh some idiot hit a pole"

[analog knot]

Why did they do an entire writeup of server incidents in the past

[candid tusk]

343 should unionize and then leave Microsoft. 😼

[vapid siren]

some of it was their own stuff

some of it was to drum up interest and probably wasnt all as engaging anyways

tldr: nobody really cared

[analog knot]

"On Saturday morning, now that we’d ruled out any MCC-specific changes being causal, we began engaging partner teams across Microsoft"

[bold sail]

I say more of her tendency of accidental "friendly fire".... Barring that though she's an ok.

[analog knot]

Microsoft allowed them to write about it before

[vapid siren]

and thta was years ago and also mcc interest was pretty high at the time

also security/trade secrets

[analog knot]

Wait

[vapid siren]

info will be compartmentalized so anyone who does care wont get good enough answers and the rest just wont care

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steady jolt]

@dreamy stirrup

[analog knot]

Was 2022 the peak of MCC interest? 😂

[vapid siren]

it was still solid

the peak is technically reach on pc if we go by steam numbers but overall it was holding strong even into infinites release cause of the cosmetics

[vapid siren]

i said what i said

[analog knot]

Yeah I dont expect any transparency from 343, but the engineer in me would love to hear about what happened is all

[hasty zinc]

please don't tag 343 staff

[normal owl]

Sushi & Cigars last night with the kings

[steady jolt]

[vapid siren]

this is the part where i go "you mean like @xrandomdev"

[bold sail]

Lucky it's 7 AM over there.

https://tenor.com/vKIW.gif

[vapid siren]

hm who at 343 do i randomly decide to bully today

[normal owl]

"Nose bridge: you."

[vapid siren]

I wonder rif Div's up for my antics

[hasty zinc]

ok so he did the second part the right way. It bugs me when people do the two fingers on their eyes and then two fingers pointing at the person

[bold sail]

Maybe after the daily dose of morning coffee.

[hasty zinc]

it should be two fingers on your eyes and then one finger pointing at the person

https://tenor.com/bUEzJ.gif

this is the wrong way

[normal owl]

[woven violet]

What if I'm a pirate with an eye patch?

He seems like a very solid, good person from his WSJ interview.

[hasty zinc]

also attorney, I'm in the middle of my 8th office rewatch

[normal owl]

Where are you now?

[bold sail]

Could vary depending on the dominant hand and if you don't have any medical conditions on your body hindering your movements.

[hasty zinc]

wow the timing on that was incredible

[hasty zinc]

ok I'm talking about in general

[normal owl]

Maybe it's a sign that you should include beans with your lunch today.

[hasty zinc]

yee

[normal owl]

Also, the hamachi-kama cut was especially hefty

[bold sail]

Looks tasty.

[normal owl]

Oh it is so good: my favorite fish. So tender it falls apart under your chopsticks, such a mild good flavor without fishyness.

My stomach is cramping now thinking about it and being hungry.

[meager linden]

Only 2 ranks left to reach Onyx(diamond colonel now)

[bold sail]

I feel like I'll eat it like how Naked Snake eats a fish. Call me brutal but I can't resist a good meal.

[normal owl]

A good meal is one of life's original and everlasting joys.

[vapid siren]

see now thats got me wanting to bother with seafood

i HATE that fishy taste in it

most i can handle is crab legs

[bold sail]

Your loss then. Food is food.
