general-chat

[vapid siren]

but hey... the pros wanna gimp things sure lets do it

dont actually make a game and listen to devs

listen to the dudes hwo have financial incentive to have things their way

where they can make things easier for themselves

[analog knot]

Again - 343 doesnt have to do anything, they can leave everything in the sandbox and the pros can ignore the weapons and whatever.

[vapid siren]

as they shoulud

[analog knot]

Totally up to them to do that

[vapid siren]

but thing is this letting the pros have their way vocally is feeding the issue

tell them no

just tell pros no for once

thats all you gotta do

youre allowed to say no dude

[analog knot]

why does 343 even need to respond to it at all though

[vapid siren]

not 343

you

say no to pros for once here

[indigo lotus]

I remember when Halo was in MLG. Mostly H2 and H3 matches the weapon starts were always BR and no smg or pistols, only the pros can get are the power weapons. Different time.

[vapid siren]

and thats just... lame

[analog knot]

Why would I tell the pros "no, these are the settings you want trust me bro"

[vapid siren]

especially when youd still see pros abuse stuff like bxr which was a way to instakill cheese

[vapid siren]

they dont have to want it

just deal with it

[analog knot]

MLG v4 was the first iteration that made it into matchmaking, by the end of H3 it was MLG v8

[vapid siren]

if you dont wanna play the game a certain way... well then dont play

thems the rules

sorry bud

[analog knot]

I dont play Infinite because its a terrible game, I dont need convincing

[vapid siren]

then yhou have no skin here in this convo

if you dont play the game im sorry but why tf are you saying the pros are right if you ahve no experience rn

at that point youre just parroting them

[analog knot]

I still support Halo as a whole, have friends that are pros, and I watch every tournament 😄 And thank you for deleting that really weird message

There is no world where you have a pro scene and you force their hand to play the way YOU want. They will just leave. Duh?

[rare cedar]

Alright let’s move along from this topic

Move it to DMs

[analog knot]

Will be fun to see where it goes at least. In the meantime I hope to run into people here in MCC more 😄

Have a good night!

[rare cedar]

I don’t need to be out on YouTube anymore

Twas not fair

[mortal spear]

This game is punishing me and I don’t know why.

[cerulean belfry]

cool grunt and thanks for the reminder to drink water

[rare cedar]

I’m here for you

[cerulean belfry]

🌊

[cerulean belfry]

is it still socially acceptable to call elites split lips?

[fickle drift]

Idk

[obsidian wyvern]

yes, go all out on them

[cerulean belfry]

what a releif i thought by now there would be an sangheli lives matter campaign. /j

[bleak shoal]

Forget the Sangheili, The unggoy have been through so much

[fossil skiff]

They are great kickball practice

[bleak shoal]

😤

Also are the infinite servers finally playable? Also what's the deal with MCC, I've heard it's scuffed or something

[fossil skiff]

Infinite’s servers are doing pretty good now

Can’t comment on MCC, havent played it in months

[bleak shoal]

Guess I'll just play it and see what happens

Last time I played I saw a warthog flying so there was a hacker smh

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[glacial spoke]

Ranked Tactical NE1? Plat

[pure jetty]

"racism only accounts for humans" so the word racism is basically racist 💀

[worthy ginkgo]

Am I using it wrong I think it feels awful at range it felt better before to me

[civic walrus]

of course, go ahead and beat up a jackal while you’re at it

[winter cloak]

Call the elites split lips, grunts gas backs, brutes monkeys, you know the drill

[lapis ivy]

What do they mean by the disruptor being gone?

[ebon kayak]

why is input based matchmaking still turned on for me when ive disabled it?

mcc on steam

wtf i got kicked from a match before it even loaded

i got banned???

i just got banned for 5 minutes 💀

[lapis ivy]

I think it's an issue that's been going on

I'm staying away from matchmaking

[ebon kayak]

most normal halo game

tfw titanfall 2 is more playable than mcc

[ebon kayak]

does anyone know if infinite runs on the 4500U

[smoky token]

me when i lie

[ebon kayak]

titanfall 2 has zero issues since sep 2023

[smoky token]

i didn’t have a very good experience with MCC on that thing, can’t imagine Infinite would be much better

[ebon kayak]

i remember it ran back when it launched, but i think after an update it stopped working, but that was like 8 months ago or smth so i wanted to know if anyone has updated info

[lapis ivy]

How is it that people get banned cause of load time

Is it an issue that's going on?

[rare cedar]

It was, now it’s fixed

[lime cedar]

ok

[obsidian wyvern]

it is though

it went down for about a day a few weeks back but they fixed it quickly and enabled double xp for everyone. other than that its been perfectly fine since the fix late last year

[ebon kayak]

was it fixed 30 minutes ago or something

[obsidian wyvern]

a few days ago

[fickle drift]

:seele_sipp:

[pure jetty]

I have no frickin clue why, but it also happens to me. I randomly get kicked, join back, half an hour later I get kicked again and I can't join back again. It's just broken

yeah it's weird and it's clearly still happening

The game is also 10 years old already so they could've fixed it but... why should they? 🤷

[rare cedar]

If you’re experiencing issues online, please submit tickets

https://aka.ms/HaloSupport

[lapis ivy]

Isn't MCC $10 on PC I imagine it went back to $30

[fickle drift]

Should stay $10 with the cheating issues

[lapis ivy]

Naw it's back to $31

Good christ

Although I want the game

Wait ur saying that it's full of cheaters?

[cloud holly]

MCC is an embarrassing mess. Do not install. You will get hacked and/or banned.

[lapis ivy]

👍

Good that you told that

[cloud holly]

Check Youtube if you don't believe.

[lapis ivy]

Nah what you told me is enough

[cloud holly]

MCC community kinda gets what it deserves because of how toxic and nasty they have been over the years.

[cerulean lintel]

Wild generalization

[steady jolt]

Very wild

[cerulean lintel]

I doubt the majority of MCC was toxic enough to deserve seeing their matchmaking fall like this

[lapis ivy]

I've been hearing complaints about it and back then I ran into some nasty people who loved to smack talk

[cerulean lintel]

Survivorship bias is deadly, you remember the idiots better but you'll forget the quiet ones the moment you close the carnage report

[steady jolt]

Let's not spread FUD like this please. The chances of this happening are more targeted towards notable streamers. If it does happen, you can submit appeal tickets.
There have been plenty of people playing without encountering these issues

If it was really that widespread, this server would be inundated with reports on a daily basis, which isn't the case

[lapis ivy]

I haven't encountered anything or banned from MCC only one toxic person the rest were chill

During FF

@steady jolt fud?

[steady jolt]

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt

[lapis ivy]

Oh

Ok yeah I haven't played MCC in a long time anyway

[pure jetty]

If you wanna know the story it's definitely worth it, multiplayer... well... it exists... and it has bad connection issues, you would often get randomly kicked or banned out of a match. But I mean it has Halo CE, 2, 3, 3ODST, Reach and 4

[pure jetty]

Wait, so you do own it?

[lapis ivy]

Yeah on Xbox but only play the campaigns to relive my youth halo days

My first one was CE

But right now I'm playing halo infinite

[analog knot]

This isn’t true and anyone saying this clearly doesn’t play the game. Even the highest level players who stream and are intentionally targeted by these people might only run into them once or twice a session - and they are massive outliers. Your average person is almost never going to see one.

Not to mention - reporting them works. So, as mentioned, play at will and report them 🙂 I still do

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but everyone is gonna have someone ruining each match ngl

because the MCC playerbase really does suck

[lime cedar]

hmmm

[floral valve]

Started playing halo and the master chief collection for the first time today and i gotta say its pretty based

The campaign i reach feels cod inspired

[meager linden]

Just finished Titanfall 2 campaign
Pretty good, just like all Halo campaigns
I'm miss so much good games, and i blame myself for that

[candid tusk]

The Halo: Reach campaign is wildly renowned for being inspired by Star Wars: Rogue One. This is confusing to most as Rogue One had its theatrical release after Halo: Reach was released, however it is now known to us that Bungie's lead development team had created a fully functional time machine for reconnaissance of novel ideas that would strongly reflect on the player base of Halo: Reach circa 2010.

[rapid relic]

hi chat

[floral valve]

Nuh uh

[candid tusk]

It's true. A predictable outcome.

[floral valve]

Nope

[obsidian wyvern]

Hey guys.

[meager linden]

No
Sad but true

[fickle drift]

i wonder what grunts taste like

[whole stone]

Diamond Captain 3.

[whole stone]

Lobster. According to a Marine from Sword Base.

[fickle drift]

gonna have to try lobster then, thank you

[fickle drift]

its probably because of the chest tubes mostly

[cerulean belfry]

oh cool thanks

[whole stone]

No problem

[cerulean belfry]

idk but for a brick he flew pretty good

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't like any of the kneepads ngl

[fickle drift]

fair

[whole stone]

Hazmat was a mistake.

[obsidian wyvern]

chimera was, hazmats aight

[candid solar]

I feel like it's a neat idea.

[whole stone]

Logic-wise it isn't. Guilty Spark said it himself, Mjolnir already acts like an advanced hazmat system for the flood. Hazmat was a decent idea, just not for Mjolnir imo.

[pulsar cobalt]

hazmat is literally used by normal people and spartans

I love all the stuff on hazmat

Just a shame we was never able to get one of the kneepads

[meager willow]

Anyone use the Corsair HS80 headset? Do you like it?

[pulsar cobalt]

I guess neon steel don't work 😂

[candid solar]

Oh boy, this conversation.

[fickle drift]

yeah its a bug i was looking at that yesterday lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Probably will get fixed in the next update or operation

[candid solar]

First of all, Spark is both a goober who prattles on about dead people all day and has more marbles lost than he even gained. His opinion on MJOLNIR is completely irrelevant.

Secondly, Hazmat is fine lore wise because it's not MJOLNIR and not trying to be. It is a heavily dedicated suit that takes what MJOLNIR's HAZOP variant was for and takes it way, way further, and in a more generalized direction than the primarily short-jaunt anti-radiation form HAZOP ended up as.

[pulsar cobalt]

Hazmat fantastic idea, the core beautiful 343 did amazing job on it

[candid solar]

To put it in the simplest way possible;

MJOLNIR is a general combat and assault suit that can play CBRN and Engineering sometimes.

Osteo/Hazmat is a CBRN and Engineering suit that can play general combat and assault sometimes.

[pulsar cobalt]

I just hope we will see more eaglestrike and hazmat stuff again

[winter flame]

I just hope we see Spartans using these cores in future playable stories

best direction they took for Spartans imo

[pulsar cobalt]

I hope all these cores are in the next game

Hazmat,rak,Mirage especially

[winter flame]

yeah the canon ones 100%

[pulsar cobalt]

I could see 343 doing spin off games with the fracture stuff

[winter flame]

nah franchise needs to expand its canon with actual playable stories

[candid solar]

Wake up dear, it's 4pm, time for your Master Chief story, again.

[winter flame]

even then though, there could be other Spartans in that story

or spin off DLCs like how Halo 3 has ODST

[bleak shoal]

Another ODST story yo

Wait playable Mona Lisa game :))

[pulsar cobalt]

I like chief but like he's so overdone now

[winter flame]

idc if its ODST or its another Spartan team or what tbh

but the H3ODST idea of just building another campaign in the same engine is a no brainer

[bleak shoal]

Halo infinite DLC where we play as the Spartans in the audio recordings

[winter flame]

so we get more campaign content then 1 Chief-centric story every 3-5 years

[candid solar]

Uuuuuuuuugh.

[bleak shoal]

:((

We haven't got to fight the flood in ever though

[pulsar cobalt]

Maybe but the fracture universe from what we have are interesting

[bleak shoal]

343 can't convince me the Endless are worst than the Flood btw

[candid solar]

They didn't fight the flood in the Mona Lisa either.

[bleak shoal]

Yeah you right

They fought Necromorphs

[winter flame]

yeah but we're barely getting a mainline story right now. we've had a decade of starting off a story arc and then abandoning it for the next game

[candid solar]

... No, I mean they just mostly ran away and died.

[bleak shoal]

I mean makes sense

[candid solar]

The flood are basically the Necromorphs but more lame.

[bleak shoal]

How so?

[candid solar]

Until recently I guess.

[winter flame]

any story/campaign projects have gotta be focused around developing a mainline story. no prequels etc.

i dont mind if its Chief or another Spartan team or what

[candid solar]

If you're going to do 'malevolent hyperaggressive space entity that wants you to suffer in eternity to suit its whims', the necromorphs are done far more brutally and far more effectively.

[bleak shoal]

Maybe a story that finally makes Sarah Palmer a likable character lol

[winter flame]

i never disliked Palmer lol

[candid solar]

The flood are too static and primitive design wise for that.

[bleak shoal]

Palmer's audacity to disrespect chief

[candid solar]

Really. That crap. That's what makes you dislike her? You know there's actual valid reasons, right?

[bleak shoal]

No

She doesn't do anything

[winter flame]

she actually comes across as a solider imo. I think 343 developed her character decently well.

[candid solar]

Hell, I'd imagine Chief was just glad to have someone treat it as another day at the office instead of polishing his olive drab codpiece.

[bleak shoal]

I would've been fine if she helped throughout missions like Rtas or Johnson tbh

[candid solar]

Original cut of that scene did.

[bleak shoal]

Her being in cutscenes only doesn't do her justice

[candid solar]

It got axed for time.

[bleak shoal]

Well it was cut -<-

I'm talking about what is and not what could've been

Like Palmer should've been fighting with us on Sunanion or helping us fighting prometheans and covenant in Infinity

Johnson or Rtas mightve not had much depth but atleast they actually they help you on missions by joining you lol

[cerulean belfry]

im late but wasnt the mona lisa that oni expirment of the prison ship

[bleak shoal]

I'm gonna go eat Hot pockets bye bye

Yes also had Henry my beloved

[cerulean belfry]

elite with a stick

[bleak shoal]

He probably beat Lopez but realized he couldn't fit in the escape pod

[cerulean belfry]

almost hits as hard as jerome with a chair

[bleak shoal]

So he him being an absolute Chad put the bat in the escape pod saving the stick lmao

[meager linden]

Half life 3 might've been announced on 30th September

[cerulean belfry]

what is Nefnoj cooking im scared

[floral pollen]

There's a bunch that don't work
3 at least, but I think more

[whole stone]

Best thing since Reach's Campaign.

[meager linden]

https://x.com/ImPeQu/status/1821916164357771630

[weary gust]

I both agree and disagree.
I've always thought she was fine. I think her quips are sarcastic but good-natured and she was good in the main campaign of Halo 4, I didn't like how she was written in Spartan Ops but that's also not fair because the Spartan Ops narrative isn't as polished as the mainline games. I think if she was part of Fireteam Osiris in Halo 5, it would've been a great opportunity to grow and flesh out her character.
I think that's 343's problem: With Lasky, Echo 216, the Weapon, and Escharum as the exceptions, 343 has a bad tendency to introduce really interesting characters but not develop them enough and then introducing a new character. So we got a very large cast of characters in Halo 4, Halo 5, and then the Spartan Killers in Infinite, all who didn't get an opportunity to stay long enough to grow.

[cerulean belfry]

Thats what Nefnoj was cooking

[floral valve]

Is it normal to have no idea whats going on in reach campaign? Its my first halo game

[weary gust]

Sorry champ, nothing as cool as the Flood discussion 😔

[bleak shoal]

Yeah fun in the gameplay is what matters first

[cerulean belfry]

imagine a flood game but there are more then just one or 2 models for each infected species

[floral valve]

Gameplay is alright, but putting sprint on a cooldown and same slot as other abilities is extremely stupid

Thats my only complaint so far

[bleak shoal]

I mean halo doesn't need sprint

[floral valve]

How do you dodge gunfire then

[bleak shoal]

Me personally halo started to fall when it had sprint

[floral valve]

I feel like i always get hit so i resort to sniping enemies

[bleak shoal]

You can dodge gunfire just fine in halo ce 2 and 3

[fickle drift]

Don't worry, you're not gonna have any abilities to worry about for the next four games.

[cerulean belfry]

like variety in how twisted they are maybe have different silhouettes would make it more terrifying and actually bring home the scary

[bleak shoal]

Reach is one of the halo games that has a weaker sandbox

It's also unbalanced too

[fickle drift]

Alas another has fallen to starting with Reach.
A shame to be sure, we can only pray it happens to less people going forward.

[floral valve]

What does that mean

[cerulean belfry]

watching a more detailed infection with next gen graphics would be crazy (and finally another rated M game)

[bleak shoal]

Like unlike halo CE or 3

[weary gust]

A lot of fan mods play with this idea too, with cool unique ranks.

[floral valve]

I mean i like the game still

[bleak shoal]

Some guns or strategies just aren't affective because some weapons just suck

[fickle drift]

I just, wouldn't tell someone to start Star Wars with Rogue One, you know?

[floral valve]

Its just some minor nitpicks, it feels like old cod campaigns in space which is epic

[signal wedge]

Imagine a flood game where you need to build an ark and gather all the animals of the earth in pairs

[bleak shoal]

Noah the Ark reference lmao

[fickle drift]

Either way it is what it is. The gameplay change is gonna hit like a ton of bricks when you get to CE, is all.

[floral valve]

Yeah CE is way older right

[cerulean belfry]

Halo: Genesis

[bleak shoal]

Yes the very first game

Is Reach your first game?

[floral valve]

Ive played and enjoyed half life 1 and that game is old af so ill probably be fine

[weary gust]

Not to be confused with the Ark of the Covenant that glasses your face.

[cerulean belfry]

you play as the librarian lmaooo

[fickle drift]

The Storm, Floodgate, The Ark, The Covenant.

What did Bungie mean by this

[signal wedge]

What are the chances the next Halo game is called Halo 1 and it's set in WWI

[cerulean belfry]

all biblical references thats why the flood is the flood cause they wipe everything out.

[bleak shoal]

Arbiter being originally called Dervish

Yeah halo has alot of religious references

[fickle drift]

I see the sarcasm didn't carry over, I apologize and aim to do better in the future.

[cerulean belfry]

nah i wasnt sure if it was or not

[signal wedge]

Halo Beyonce

[cerulean belfry]

when gen chat actually has an interesting conversation

[bleak shoal]

Ah yes

[signal wedge]

I wonder if we would get Halo 7 news before GTA VI

[bleak shoal]

GTA VI will be peak

[bleak shoal]

Should've been Zuko and Yayap

[meager linden]

My prediction is GTA 6 will be released on 2026

[signal wedge]

My prediction for Halo 7 is 2032

[weary gust]

I've always wanted a flood enemy that mimics the feeling of Infection from the multiplayer: Something fast, that kills you quickly, that has low health but you really want to pop it with a headshot. Campaign flood and multiplayer flood are very different. Though Spartans would be a bad decision for lore's sake so I have no idea what a good substitute would be.

[bleak shoal]

I thought they already confirmed a release window

But yeah they probably will delay it

[signal wedge]

Pls no more zombies

Am I the only one who hates the idea of the flood

[bleak shoal]

Why?

[signal wedge]

I want to kill aliens

[bleak shoal]

Aren't they aliens technically

[signal wedge]

But they have no soul

[bleak shoal]

It's a parasite, a living organism??

[rare cedar]

They have a gravemind

[bleak shoal]

Idk how zombies work or if there is a agreed on thing about how zombies work

But I'm pretty sure the Flood is a parasite -<-

[rare cedar]

Correct

[bleak shoal]

The flood is a unique concept tbh

[rare cedar]

There are no zombies in Halo

[bleak shoal]

Unlike zombies or necromorphs where your just dead. Your kept alive as your identity and memories are stripped away and it hurts like really bad

Poor Jenkins and Keyes :((

Both suffered but did their best to resist the floods influence

[rare cedar]

We’ll ignore the infection medals where the multiplayer announcer says “Zombie Killing Spree” and “Mmmmmm, Brains”

Besides that, no actual zombies in Halo

[bleak shoal]

The 1st Gravemind cutscene in Halo 2 is one of the best exposition of lore in halo history imo

For once we see everyone's side and take in this war

Ok bye gonna eat the rest of my hotpockets

[rare cedar]

H2 is so rich in story

[signal wedge]

ONI tried to steal a covie ship to gain that glassing technology when they have an ancient human ship available that was used to complete annihilate flood infected worlds

[weary gust]

I love the dynamic of the flood, Forerunner and Covenant tend to play more defensively, so having a mindless enemy type constantly swarm you is so incredibly fun in the way it turns the dynamic around.

[signal wedge]

Man we really need a prequel game set 100000 years ago in the human forerunner wars

[hexed geyser]

guys im planning on saving up for a Seires S While paying for gamepass

[floral valve]

Dont buy the series s its garbage

[signal wedge]

Have the forerunner tried wearing masks

And stand 1 meter apart

[hexed geyser]

I'll just buy it anyway

[bleak shoal]

I'm back

Wait no nvm

[ember shoal]

Series s is fine, it’s better than Xbox one for infinite in terms of performance. A drawback is the lack of disc drive for buying games used and not being able to play games from prior Xbox generations. If that’s not important to you though then series s is a good choice to save some money

*in my opinion

[winter flame]

tbh i just dont really consider Spartan Ops a canon telling of its own events lol

[jade walrus]

I use series x with 120 fps, wish there could be more fps

[winter flame]

like the plot is relevant but the way it was told is just so absurd it didn't happen that way in my head canon lol

[jade walrus]

Ik on pc you can get 1000 if you have a ridiculously expensive gaming pc

[hasty zinc]

so cute!!

[weary gust]

I get it. The cut scenes vs. what happens in game are so disjointed. You could skip 80% of the missions and the story wouldn't be affected. Though near the end they started getting it.

[winter flame]

if they didn't increase the price of Xbox All Access its probably now an alright deal

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern

[winter flame]

so they did increase the price but this is kinda a no brainer if you're paying the $20/month on Game Pass Ultimate anyway

i think it use to be like $25/month

the savings they list in the cost comparison is kinda misleading since the Series S is on sale all the time and basically nobody pays $300 for one. but it's still a fair price with the Game Pass

[fickle drift]

you can find a Series X Cheaper on eBay

but that bundle isnt bad ^

[cedar turret]

Ultimate is 19.99 a month by itself

So you’re leasing the console for 7 dollars a month

Or 168 dollars total

[winter flame]

yeah its not half bad if you get the value out of GPU

especially if you havent owned an Xbox, there's a ton of games to play

[jade walrus]

Tbh most subscriptions are overpriced

[winter flame]

i think you just have to play a lot of games to justify game pass

more then i could find time to play

because games drop to around $20 or lower eventually. So if you play only 12 games a year, ur better off buying them

[cedar turret]

Depends on whether you want to wait to three years

[winter flame]

yeah true

i paid around $5/month for I think 3 years ish to get Game Pass Ultimate. Now I own all the games I played with the exception of a handful

[cedar turret]

Way i figure it I would’ve bought three games that are on game pass day one next year so that’s most of the price

[obsidian wyvern]

Halo 2'll be 20 in november

[cedar turret]

I was in my twenties before I could snap my fingers. It's also one of the few actions I can only do with one hand

[meager linden]

Yoo, I am older than Halo 2

[balmy cobalt]

same!

[trim saddle]

Im older than credit scores.. lol

[cedar turret]

You were born in the 40s?

[bleak shoal]

Sorry guys about your back pain :((

[ember shoal]

I think he’s talking about the FICO score, which is a specific credit score formula in use today developed in 1989

[cedar turret]

There were other forms before that.

[ember shoal]

At least according to my googling lol

Oh man you’re right lol I stand corrected

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm like a week younger than halo 2 lol

[cedar turret]

Started being a thing in the 50s and then became more common after some laws got past in the late 60s

The benefits of econ 101 being mandatory

[elfin glacier]

i prefer credit scores to some guy at my local bank going "hmm, i like the cut of his gib, give him a loan"

[cedar turret]

in a related note my econ professor did get hit for tax evasion

halfway through the semester

[ember shoal]

Oh man what did that mean for your grades?

Or did you get a substitute professor?

[trim saddle]

credit scores were invented in 1989

[cedar turret]

Sort of. They brought in a dude who was around 90 and was convinced Reagan was president

[hollow grove]

Old but lots of people don't, including a certain emperor on here.

[obsidian wyvern]

my Econ teacher promoted it in lessons lol

[elfin glacier]

econ is 2 things:
supply and demand
game theory

congratulations you now know econ

[meager linden]

Good night Spartans

[cedar turret]

that's a cue for most people to peace out

[obsidian wyvern]

we didn't even start LRAS

[trim saddle]

no back pain, i eat well and exercise regularly 🙂

[bleak shoal]

That's good 👍

centralized national credit systems are a pretty recent thing but the concept of credit and trustworthiness in finance and on paper has been around since the days of the Old West

1840s, 1850s and such

[floral valve]

Halo

[trim saddle]

Halo

[fickle drift]

halo ce sucks

not even a bad story just dated level design

halo 2 and reach were miles better lol

[trim saddle]

I mean, it was the first halo lol

[fickle drift]

yes yes, I love the upgraded visuals and even the classic visuals but ughhh, the second half of the game made me want to die

can def tell it was rushed out once you hit attack on the control room, that and two betrayals were the WORST

those awful repetitive circular rooms..

[trim saddle]

Id feel the same if i replayed it now but when it first came out was just 🤌

[fickle drift]

yeah, but I don't see me ever replaying the campaign like I probably will reach, 2, and 3.

[bleak shoal]

Halo CE had pretty open levels like The Silent Cartographer is peak halo level design

Glad halo 3 went back to to the openess halo 2 lacked

[bleak shoal]

You didn't even mention The Library lmao

[granite sky]

i always rlly enjoyed control room and two betrayals and library

[bleak shoal]

If you wanna talk rushed. Halo 2 hands down

Brutes were not fine tuned enough and legendary obv

The mission The Arbiter has unfinished map geometry and Oracle didn't even finish two of its cutscenes

I will say this

I do like missions like Arbiter and Oracle or Delta Halo and Regret getting split off

You can tell they were originally gonna be levels together but having them cut off means we won't have a AOTC level length 😄

[fickle drift]

library wasn't that bad, it was only 4 floors, 6-7 would've made it so much worse

[bleak shoal]

Yeah but it's repetitive layout

AOTC actually offers stuff in-between

[fickle drift]

at least it doesn't show up 50 times UNIRONICALLY like the circle rooms

[bleak shoal]

Unique encounters yo

The honest fix would've been to split of the mission into 2 missions honestly

[fickle drift]

5 rooms a bridge, 5, rooms, a bridge on and on and on and barely any heals so you have on bit of health

[bleak shoal]

The game gets harder as you play

By now you should've been well acquainted to everything

[fickle drift]

yeah no, I disagree, nothing in halo 2 or 1 is nearly as hard as two betrayals and aotc for me

[bleak shoal]

Ok 👍

Everyone has their opinions and takes so it's interesting to hear the other side

To halo 2 now

Quarantine zone could've been the best level in the entire franchise

It's a 4 way war against humans, covenant, forerunner, and flood forces

Yet you never fight the humans and map geometry was linear and small due to rushed development

The gondola ride is so infamous. What they should've done is take you through the library one last time but you blast your way with vehicles

But we got genesong and reclaimer :]

[fickle drift]

I didn't like most of the arbiter levels in 2, they weren't bad but not nearly as good as the chief levels.

and omg if it wasn't for the cloaking of arbiter it would've been so much worse

[bleak shoal]

I never found his cloak to be useful honestly

Arbiter was meant to be a stealth mission but we know how that turned out

[fickle drift]

if any halo deserves a remake it’s 2, easily

I skipped most of the annoying encounters by cloaking through entire enemies

It’s a godsend when timed correctly.

I love H2 but man, gondolas and elevators

[fickle drift]

no, definitely 1, 2 has anniversary edition for visuals, I'd say one and then two

[fickle drift]

2 has no warthog run at end :((

[bleak shoal]

No a remake

Not a remaster. A Remake blud

That's the anniversary games are. Remasters lol

[fickle drift]

what are you talking about

no one said the remasters were remakes

[bleak shoal]

-<- ok

[fickle drift]

I'm just saying that halo 2 is fine with it's visual upgrades from the anniversary edition, it's level design and stuff isn't nearly as bad as the second bit of CE

[bleak shoal]

I'd say halo 1 doesn't need a Remake. It's pretty fully realized for a final product

[fickle drift]

does it deserve a remake, yes, both games do.

will 343 ever do it? no. because of obvious reasons

[bleak shoal]

Halo 2 needs a Remake as in the earth levels weren't grandiosis in scale as the e3 trailers presumed it to be

[fickle drift]

Controversial but remake H3 and fix the plot / characters.

Make Cortana not suck as a level.

Make the BR not awful.

[bleak shoal]

Make us fight pelicans driven by flood

[fickle drift]

we need flood bosses like the crazy stuff Warframe did with the flood inspired infested

i want more air battles in halo like that one in reach where you’re in space, that was so much fun

[bleak shoal]

If u guys have PC. Check out Ruby Rebalanced halo 2. He's adding so much to the halo 2 levels like new cutscenes

Better lighting to match e3 demo lighting too

[pliant hatch]

I hate the slowed down gravemind parts.

[fickle drift]

that bored me half to death lol, now if it was pvp with more ship types, like imagine you're the top of the leaderboard so you get to fly the covenant cruiser or covenant mother ship

The Restored Warthog Run in the H2 Uncut(?) mod was pretty novel. A bit short but fun.

[fickle drift]

this would go hard hard

[bleak shoal]

Crazy how it even had it's music track

[fickle drift]

halo battlefront

[bleak shoal]

So much potential in h2 that's coming out in Halo 2 Rebalanced >:)

[fickle drift]

halo 2 is my favourite of the original trilogy

[bleak shoal]

Mine too

[fickle drift]

I don't think I will ever get behind what 343 has done with the games, specifically with Cortana

[safe widget]

Halo helldivers 🤑

[obsidian wyvern]

I can get behind halob4 cortana

[fickle drift]

playing as a regular marine

might be weird but i wish vehicles in halo accelerated with the R2 button, feels better imo

[safe widget]

ODST 😭

[obsidian wyvern]

lol I thought someone would say it

[fickle drift]

ye but like in a battlefield type way

[bleak shoal]

Nah they did too much with cortana. She has it but she doesn't have much of her sas

[safe widget]

Imo i think halo wars 1 marines are the best looking

[obsidian wyvern]

man I read something else after what I just said, I need to leave again

[safe widget]

Also they are so badass

[bleak shoal]

Chips dubbo and Marvin Mabuto

[fickle drift]

[fickle drift]

tbh that wasn't that bad, was just halo lore

[steady jolt]

There are much better ways to put your points across

[fickle drift]

probably just the way you worded it, anyways halo 7 linear plz

[steady jolt]

Phrasing is important

[safe widget]

I personally like halo 2 and 3 cortana better then 4

[bleak shoal]

Uhm Reveant said he would get behind halo 4 Cortana too

[obsidian wyvern]

I have a problem with halo infinite, on the main menu screen everything looks fine and the colors are normal, but if I go into the customize menu and go to the armor hall or spartan ID, everything gets darker and the colors are slightly washed out.

question about the #1075989764026675210 channel, I try and describe my problem but the message keeps on auto deleting? am I doing something wrong?

[ember forum]

What is up with the overzealous restriction on ""bad words?"" We can't even say words that are in the Halo games. We can't even say words that are allowed in PG-13 movies.

Why is this a G-rated server?

[fickle drift]

its an official server

[hybrid blaze]

idk, that seems kinda weird to me. I can understand restricting slurs, but cursing really isn't a big deal

[fickle drift]

probably just wants to keep it professional idk

[steady jolt]

Some tamer terms are filtered because people keep being gross and inappropriate

Others just aren't needed when chatting about video games

[fickle drift]

i can probably discuss halo without swearing a ton

[ember forum]

People that are gross and inappropriate should probably be thrown out of the community tbh

[fickle drift]

i save all my swearing for when i play league

[hybrid blaze]

so essentially, a minority that can't control themselves has ruined it for everyone? what a surprise

[fickle drift]

it be that way

it smells like gas outside i love gas

[steady jolt]

They get dealt with, but this way it doesn't impact others so much.

[fickle drift]

sounds like a disaster waiting to happen unironically

[ember forum]

Like gasoline or natural gas?

[fickle drift]

eh it happens every 2 months really, it’s fine

[fickle drift]

gasoline, i have no clue what natural gas smells like

[hasty zinc]

technically it's odorless

[fickle drift]

OH that type of gas

[fickle drift]

it's typically like this in most company based gaming servers

[hasty zinc]

but they give it a sulfur smell

so sulfur or rotten eggs

[ember forum]

Technically odorless but required by law to have a smell in many jurisdictions

[fickle drift]

i drank a dr pepper once and it tasted like rotten cherry
never again

[ember forum]

One of these is a potential respiratory hazard. The other is a is a public safety risk and a disaster waiting to happen

[fickle drift]

wait he bypassed a filter?

Okay buddy

[fickle drift]

nah it’s all good nw

[ember forum]

Dr. Pepper has tasted like children's cold medicine since as long as I can remember. I'm guessing it's one of those things where it tastes different to some people, like cilantro

[fickle drift]

They hate tea

I'm genuinely confused why that's being deleted

[steady jolt]

Let's just move from the filter talk now

[fickle drift]

Coffee drinkers

[fickle drift]

cilantro?? there’s so many things i don’t know

no that's actually kind of ridiculous lmao, it's apparently not just MK

[ember forum]

Some people have a genetic quirk that makes cilantro taste like soap

[fickle drift]

I don't see what's wrong with that whatsoever, but these people are probably unironically paid to enforce it

[calm fiber]

For server moderation concerns, please send a direct message to @bleak yoke.

[ember forum]

I like tea and coffee.

[hasty zinc]

it's time to move on

[fickle drift]

aaand what does it taste like normally?

[cedar turret]

Take it to modmail or leave it be

[fickle drift]

I do too

[steady jolt]

Mods here are volunteers

[fickle drift]

YO I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN?? it's not even a genetic thing it just depends on what it's mixed with tbh

I mean Microsoft couldn't even pay for a good show I doubt they can pay mods lmao

[cedar turret]

Speak for yourself. THey keep me chained to a wall so I'll be on hand to hand out bans.

[fickle drift]

did you know when you sit down you take the sitting pisition?

Isnt cilantro used to make soap?

[fickle drift]

the games showcase this year was pretty good

[steady jolt]

[fickle drift]

I didn't watch it so no idea

im excited for Black Ops 6 and Silent Hill 2 Remake

[ember forum]

Hollywood has a systemic issue with bad writing. Also its pretty much proven at this point that the showrunner had an idea for a scifi series that he wanted to make and no one like it, so he got the Halo IP slapped on it so he could make it.

[fickle drift]

anyone played the hinokami Capcom game? it's actually really good

My faith in Microsoft to do anything right is so low it's basically inside the planet now

[fickle drift]

you mean kunitsu gami?

[fickle drift]

and 343 likes money like any company so they just let him go for it

[tired stirrup]

will I be permanently banned from matchmaking if I get too many temporary bans? I jus got a 15 min ban, I didn't team kill once or leave the match

okay thanks

[ember forum]

I have absolutely no hope for Halo though

[fickle drift]

i prefer Resident Evil

[fickle drift]

it was p good, weird like a lot of Japanese media but good

Yw

[hybrid blaze]

anyone else like the Rakshasa core but really wish it had a backplate? IMO even a thin one that was used to protect some kind of alternate power source would make it perfect

[fickle drift]

I'm a honorary Capcom head, love me some street fighter, MH, or RE

[fickle drift]

never played monster hunter but it looks like something i’d enjoy, never been into fighting games though

[ember forum]

Monster Hunter World is great. I got a copy for PS5 from my local independent game store for $6

[fickle drift]

fighting games are a blast, but you have to be in a certain mood to playem, they're like a lot of competitive shooters takes a LOT of practice to get gud

also dead rising deluxe remaster looks SO good

[fickle drift]

dude the director is so young, especially for Japan. very impressive work

[ember forum]

@fickle drift I highly recommend giving MHW a chance. You can truly tell how passionate the devs were about the game, and how much care they put into it

[fickle drift]

only thing i’m not a fan of is the side perspective tbh

[fickle drift]

try Tekken maybe?

[fickle drift]

monster hunter wilds? probably gonna play that at some point, yeah

[ember forum]

World

Monster Hunter World

[fickle drift]

will do, just gonna get the cheapest tekken and see how i like it

no not wilds, that's not out yet, will def probably be good though and I'm for sure picking it up not long after it releases, but world is a beautiful game

OH world, thank u

rise is okay, I preordered it, it's much more in line with the older monster hunter games

loved the monster riding controlling mechanic tbh, I wish they kept turf wars

[fickle drift]

black ops 6 looks alright

im just kinda tired of the 5 seasons of battlepasses and then bai bai all your cosmetics

[fickle drift]

thought they carried over from MW2 onward

but skins from later games won't work with previous games

[fickle drift]

nah that was just mw2 -> mw3

not a fan of battlepasses myself, glad they atleast include some free rewards

they never stated itd carry with bo6

I do hope it does

it might do but i dont remember them explicitly stating

so they could very well pull a fast one

I'm psyched for cyberpunk orion, I honestly want to play more of 2077 sometime soon since the DLC has literally so many endings

orion my beloved, it has so many things it could improve upon

like SO SO many things

and they have a foundation now that they've fixed up 2077, something to build and improve upon, hopefully they're not rushed again

imagine what 2077 would have been like if it was released this year

[ember forum]

What's CDProjekt working on now?

[fickle drift]

wouldn’t be surprised if it got GOTY

mostly cyberpunk orion I believe, they dropped stuff recently

[fickle drift]

i completed 2077 but still play it :p

[fickle drift]

Witcher 4

got yet another new save going with a silly amount of mods

[ember forum]

I have not heard of Cyberpunk Orion

[fickle drift]

they're split between teams I think

[fickle drift]

it's the next cyberpunk game, no official name yet

just project Orion

[fickle drift]

i’m pretty sure they’re mainly working on witcher, though i much rather want orion

[ember forum]

Yo so since Rainbow Six is a PVP only sweatfest now, can we get a R6 Vegas-inspired ODST tactical shooter?

[fickle drift]

I'll take either, never played witcher tbh, but it would be nice to play 4.

I tried to play dragon age inquisition but the resolution and texture resolution even for a 2013-2014 game were bothering me

[fickle drift]

no because Ubisoft is run by neanderthals

Ello

[fickle drift]

oof yeah those graphics are kinda rough

Does anybody play diablo 4

[ember forum]

TIL Neanderthals can become MBAs and C-suite execs

[fickle drift]

I don't ever see myself playing Diablo 4 again. 3 and 2 MAYBE.

i’m actually pretty excited for outlaws, even if its ubisoft

[fickle drift]

probably because they ate the competition

To be honest I think halo is overrated

destiny 2 is better

this is terrible bait

it’s all up to preference

here I'll do you one better

Warframe has always been better than Destiny

I don't even play that

Warfram

destiny 2 had a lot of potential, but god is it absolutely terrible

But they decided to just abandon it

[fickle drift]

extraction was so mid

The servers for it are still up and stuff but they're no longer making content for it which sucks cus I actually kinda enjoyed it

I want old R6 back mannn

It wasn't perfect Hella room for improvement

But the fun was there

it would've been better if you were fighting ya know... actually terrorists like how R6 is supposed to be

[ember forum]

Well you know Tom Clancy was actually good at writing geopolitical military fiction

[fickle drift]

R6 used to have T-hunt then removed it

[amber mirage]

Is it not in Siege anymore?

[fickle drift]

nope

they removed it for a mid pve ai mode which is just pvp but the enemy has actual aim bot and wall hacks

[amber mirage]

RIP

[fickle drift]

more vehicle models

[ember forum]

Whereas in MCC your opponents can give you aim bot and wall hacks and get you banned

[steady jolt]

It's really only high level players and streamers that are being affected by this, and it's being investigated.
The chances of it happening to regular folk seems to be fairly low, or we would be inundated with reports here (which hasn't been happening).

You can report anything like this that you see and submit appeals in the unlikely event you do get banned

[elfin glacier]

imagine thinking it's just Hollywood lol

sturgeon's law

the only reason Hollywood writing is (often correctly) under scrutiny is the utter dominance it has globally

[pulsar cobalt]

Haunted can have this but not pilot

[elfin glacier]

that is odd

i don't think every attachment works on every helmet, but in terms of external geometry haunted is the same as pilot

[ember forum]

Sadly, you are correct.

[elfin glacier]

anything haunted can use pilot should have and vice versa

[pulsar cobalt]

Pliot with this attachment using the glitch

Same again with a glitch

I'm not sure why these 2 are not a thing on pilot but here we are

I personally think 343 needs to go through the attachments and see which ones fit the best for helms and just enable the attachments for the helms

[kind cosmos]

yea

[floral pollen]

pretty sure its just on Pilot
you may need to own Haunted tho

I've seen someone use it before

[pulsar cobalt]

Oh wait it is i did not see that at all

would help if i scrolled to the right more 🤦‍♂️

🥴

[fickle drift]

man I wish modern gaming took notes, Captain Keyes daughter is how you write a strong female character fr

never does she downplay the people around her and was an actually decent leader and an interesting and strong character with a lot of powerful moments.

[hasty zinc]

yeah but she said and did some dumb stuff

like really dumb

[fickle drift]

halo 3 she has some fairly corny lines lmao

[amber mirage]

She seems like an unintentionally written nepotism baby

[hasty zinc]

corny lines and terrible decision making

[fickle drift]

yeah halo 3 first mission lol

To war, Yolo!

[fickle drift]

I think she’s fine enough in H2 but in H3 she suffers from the dumbification that mostly everyone else does.

[hasty zinc]

RIP Truth

[fickle drift]

yeah she was awesome in halo 2

[amber mirage]

I wouldn't go as far as awesome

She still some some pretty dumb stuff in 2

[fickle drift]

I dunno bro if it wasn't for her and the LEGENDARY chipps dubbo

[pulsar cobalt]

[amber mirage]

If it wasn't for her, the In Amber Clad probably wouldn't have been a Flood ship

[fickle drift]

the amber clad being a flood ship was the entire point, they led it to the capital city of high charity on purpose

well not on purpose per se

I think she made some brash decisions in H2, which is different to dumb decisions in H3.

everyone in halo 3 was pretty dense, not nearly as bad as 4 and 5 tho

what do you all think of the borderlands movie disaster

Going to watch it with friends when it comes to digital

[fickle drift]

Was never interested in Borderlands to begin with so 🤷‍♂️

[pulsar cobalt]

Just because you don't like it doesn mean other people will

[fickle drift]

I was so scared of one I beat it to death with a shoe

[left bone]

if i saw that thing i'd light it on fire and blow it up with an RPG

[fickle drift]

third, Scylla from monsterverse

[left bone]

id call godzilla

[jade walrus]

One time there was a big house spider in the shower and I killed it with a shampoo bottle

[lapis ivy]

Speaking of spiders my house sometimes gets wolf spiders as unwanted guests

[left bone]

i feel like punching spiders now

[jade walrus]

After I hit it a few times it tried to get out but I killed it and dragged it to the drain

[lapis ivy]

You guys ever had house centipedes btw

[jade walrus]

Earwigs are gross

[left bone]

nope

[lapis ivy]

Do they bite

Earwigs

[fickle drift]

yes earwigs bite

[jade walrus]

Yeah if they feel endangered

[lapis ivy]

Ugh no way Jose imma getting rid of those

[covert dove]

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Let them be warm in your ear

[jade walrus]

Nooooo

Nightmare fuel

[whole stone]

If you think that's bad, look up a huntsman spider.

[steady jolt]

Found a post about it with some caps, but it looks more like a set visit than a cameo. He isn't credited anywhere that I can see, either. Wife doesn't remember him being in the appendices

[lapis ivy]

When my mom was cutting the grass where the carpenter was building the fence a Texas redhead centipede came out

[jade walrus]

So a set visit that ended up being a part of the film

[jade walrus]

Ew

[lapis ivy]

Yep never trifle with them

People keep them as pets idk that's just weird

[candid solar]

One react and I eat this creature

[fickle drift]

no eaty :c

[steady jolt]

turns reactions off

[jade walrus]

Birdeaters are gross

[whole stone]

Birdeaters?

[lapis ivy]

And I didn't know we had centipedes in Texas

[candid solar]

He shall be devoured whole

[elfin glacier]

isn't that the guy who scams his audience of 10 year olds with overpriced pcs

[whole stone]

Those things are global dude.

[jade walrus]

It’s another type of tarantula

[elfin glacier]

they eat birds

especially entrenched ones

[candid solar]

I shall destroy them for this crime

[jade walrus]

Black-haired tarantulas that eat humming birds

[whole stone]

Jeez.

[lapis ivy]

I've seen red cardinals in Texas sometimes

[whole stone]

You see them all the time in Georgia.

[lapis ivy]

I like birds but just don't like keeping them captive even if they're domestic they're supposed to be free

[jade walrus]

Shelob will literally eat anything and she’s around the size of a big golden retriever

[lapis ivy]

My cousin keeps snakes bearded dragons oh and creepy crawlies for them to eat he's a creeper keeper

Kind of like he's only hobby than playing on Xbox

[jade walrus]

Ronald Weasley in a room full of spiders, entertainment

[lapis ivy]

I have other hobbies that I haven't participated in cause I don't have the chance or time 😔

There are some people who collect spiders of all shapes and colors and species

[hexed geyser]

Crazy idea for an MCC update if it was still supported : 8 player splitscreen on Xbox series s & X on ce & 2

[jade walrus]

Cursed

[whole stone]

Agreed.

[hexed geyser]

how is it cursed

[jade walrus]

Because there’d be 4 screens on top and bottom, hard to identify who is who

[whole stone]

Better idea, a whole new game set before Reach. Each chapter/level is surrounding the old members of Noble Team before they died. You could watch as the Noble Team that started with Carter and Kat progressed into the Noble Team you see in Reach.

[fossil skiff]

In terms of viewing, we have no viewing

[whole stone]

I'd pay very good money for that.

[jade walrus]

I understood that reference

[lapis ivy]

You guys ever seen coyote Peterson be brave there's only one creepy thing I hate lol and that's the waterbug

[whole stone]

A water bug?

[lapis ivy]

The toe biter

And what's more it flies too

[whole stone]

Insert "they fly now".

[lapis ivy]

It lives in the water too

[hexed geyser]

i mean the Classic Doom Ports did 8 player splitscreen on Seires X & S

[jade walrus]

The cow killer looks scary

[whole stone]

I saw one the other day.

[jade walrus]

Fair

[lapis ivy]

I thought it was the chupacabra

Some weird looking canine

[jade walrus]

It’s some weird hybrid looking thing of a wasp and mosquito

[lapis ivy]

I'll have to look into it on Pinterest

[jade walrus]

And has spider looking legs

[jade walrus]

I can send you the coyote peterson video of it

[whole stone]

I didn't realize how big cow killer ants are.

[lapis ivy]

That guy's crazy lol

[jade walrus]

They look like bees mixed with ants and mosquitos

[whole stone]

I'd take some of the immortal words of Nathan Filion in H3ODST, but not sure if I can here.

[lapis ivy]

Man all my entire life from childhood to my now 30s always hated mosquitoes

[lapis ivy]

That one looks like a cross between an ammonite and a spider

I saw the video you sent and yeah it's a creepy looking type of bug @jade walrus

[haughty wraith]

The halo infinite disc gives you access to campaign and the MP right

[amber mirage]

Technically just the campaign, but the multiplayer is free to play. No disc required

[haughty wraith]

Well, yeah already knew MP was free, was just curious about the campaign, thanks

[jade walrus]

Some free games have paid discs

It’s weird

[ocean herald]

Probably from before the game went f2p

[stark plover]

Anyone know how to get high xp in Sentry BTB? It’s so inconsistent 😭

[cerulean belfry]

wassup chat?

[shell forge]

why is the bandit rifle so frickin big

[cloud holly]

It is nice to have something physical even if you don't use it for the game collection. It's funny I agree.

[tranquil loom]

So tired of vip never replacing quitters

[pliant hatch]

probly didn't help that you went negative three of the games and I didn't see any diamond 4's.

[fallen coral]

?

[pliant hatch]

I guess they deleted the posts if you're referring to me.

[worldly heron]

Yoo wassup

[fallen coral]

ah lol, they do that

[undone bolt]

hey any one wanna play ?

[haughty wraith]

Why do I get people who just downloaded the game as teammates constantly

It straight up ruins the experience

[rare cedar]

You were at that point long ago

let them learn

[mortal spear]

I dont understand why this game just punishes me so hard.

its so annoying

[haughty wraith]

I understand that, I'm just so confused at why I'm only getting them in matches instead of people who have a grasp of objectives and controls

[mortal spear]

No matter what I lose. 3 wins in my last 15. 90% against 4 stacks I'm 5 ranks below where I was before reset

[smoky geode]

They fall in line one at a time

[rare cedar]

I get blueberries on my team occasionally. Nothing wrong with that dude

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[mortal spear]

so dumb.. I hate this game sometimes

[haughty wraith]

I know, and I'm not mad at them, I'm mad that it's every match that my teammates somehow think it's slayer and go for only kills, only to end up dying because they can't aim 😭

[rare cedar]

hate is a strong word

[mortal spear]

no it ruins my day

[haughty wraith]

It seems like it's only VIP that people for some reason can't grasp the objective

[rare cedar]

same issue happened in H3

nothing's changed

[mortal spear]

so blatantly obvious that the game is forcing me down

[haughty wraith]

Generational unawareness 💀

[mortal spear]

unwinnable games. ever since ranks reset

[bleak shoal]

Looks like SBMM is ruining people's lives again

[bleak shoal]

[haughty wraith]

I'm playing the casual playlists

[bleak shoal]

Oh then sucks for you lmao

[haughty wraith]

Not ranked

[haughty wraith]

Oh yeah, absolutely, it does

[bleak shoal]

Don't worry this will probably brush over soon

[haughty wraith]

Somehow my team got called trash by our teammate at the bottom of the leaderboard in firefight lmao

[bleak shoal]

How many kills he or she got

[haughty wraith]

0

[mortal spear]

I dont expect to win all the time, but it just pisses me off. I pretty much know going into every ranked match that the game is going to be unbalanced and then it is.

[cloud holly]

Game developers don't listen to the playerbase. They think it's good, but it's only good on paper.

[bleak shoal]

Lmao

[haughty wraith]

They had like 5 deaths, 0 kills, 0 revives, etc

[bleak shoal]

5 deaths in 1 game isn't bad

[haughty wraith]

And then had the gall to call us trash

[haughty wraith]

The game was about 3 minutes long

[bleak shoal]

Wow dang 😕

[haughty wraith]

Because the guy threw then called us trash

Gotta love matchmaking

[rare cedar]

I guess he... threw out the trash

[bleak shoal]

Well you should just message them and say you were at the bottom of the leaderboard

[haughty wraith]

He was the trash ☠️

[rare cedar]

According to him, he wasn't

[bleak shoal]

It should tell him or her a thing or two before calling people trash

[haughty wraith]

Trust me I did, along with a screenshot with the quote "L Team" which is what he said lmao

[bleak shoal]

According to his leaderboard placement he was

[haughty wraith]

Delusions of granduer

[bleak shoal]

I still can't believe it's not just me who feels like my teammates are just playing the game for the first time

If this is a thing a lot of people have experienced, good job 343 on keeping the old fans in 👍

[haughty wraith]

I genuinely felt bad for the opposite team a few hours ago because they had a dude that literally didn't even know how to move, all he did was stand there and stare at a wall and shoot 😭

[bleak shoal]

What?

Is this new generation of halo players just lobotmized or something

[haughty wraith]

Apparently

[lean abyss]

💀

[haughty wraith]

Idk but they're probably gonna warn you for saying that

[lean abyss]

Good point

[covert dove]

[haughty wraith]

Actually I got banned for saying something similar a few months ago 😭

[lean abyss]

Oof

[bleak shoal]

We can't even cuss

[fickle drift]

How hard is it to find a game in Halo 5

[bleak shoal]

Like I'm not gonna overuse it. Halo 5 is dead dude

[lean abyss]

Oof x2

[fickle drift]

Dang because I actually enjoyed the multiplayer

[lean abyss]

Lol fr tho

[bleak shoal]

Uhm your pfp💀

[haughty wraith]

You can usually find games of warzone or Fiesta mostly

Crazy pfp btw lmao

[fickle drift]

What's wrong with my profile picture

[bleak shoal]

How did we get from halo 5 to infinite in terms of actual playable content

[lean abyss]

I just got a warning from the yappatron 3000 about language

[bleak shoal]

Take a good look at it

[fickle drift]

I see nothing wrong my guy

[calm fiber]

For server moderation concerns, please send a direct message to @bleak yoke.

[haughty wraith]

Swear word?

[lean abyss]

No

[haughty wraith]

Ah, told you

[bleak shoal]

No this is a concerns

Not an actual warning

[fickle drift]

Yo I found a game

[bleak shoal]

How long?

[fickle drift]

Like 2 minutes not even

[bleak shoal]

That's not bad

[fickle drift]

It's a ranked game too

[haughty wraith]

It is decently easy to find matchmaking in halo 5, you'll just be in the same lobbies with the same people over and over

[rare cedar]

Please do not discuss server moderation here. If you have a question or concern, please message @bleak yoke

[bleak shoal]

Halo 5 has the best infection gamemode btw

[haughty wraith]

I disagree

[bleak shoal]

If u gonna say reach

[haughty wraith]

No, reach was the exact same as all of the previous games

[bleak shoal]

Only 3 actually cuz halo 2 and CE didn't have it lol

[haughty wraith]

I actually prefer infinite's over all other 343 games tbh

[bleak shoal]

Infinite infection?

[rare cedar]

H2 had infection, but it was based on honor system

[lean abyss]

Wow

[haughty wraith]

They added it to Halo 2 in MCC

[bleak shoal]

Yeah well I'm talking orignal but ok ig

[lean abyss]

I mean the halo infinite infection is alright

[bleak shoal]

It's horrible
