[obsidian wyvern]

[fickle drift]

Need to go into a cave and medidate on my behaviour. I'll say hi to Six when I'm there.

[gilded wedge]

i was rlly tempted to say “nerd”

Then realized im in this server

[bleak shoal]

Alr

[normal owl]

and his imaginary friends, "Noble Team"

[obsidian wyvern]

I've heard rookie is there too

[gilded wedge]

and the plasma rifle

[queen remnant]

That one can stay there

[trim saddle]

and the falcon from reach

[gilded wedge]

shotgun and magnum too

[normal owl]

lol

[obsidian wyvern]

honestly the plasma rifle is so boring idk why people want it

[gilded wedge]

aesthetic ig

[bleak shoal]

Nostalgia, and it's better than storm rifle and pulse carbine imo

[gilded wedge]

I mean i just like it for looks

[trim saddle]

i mean, its something more than were currently using in infinte, so of course people desire something

[normal owl]

This cave is very well-furnished it seems.

[fickle drift]

Furnished by Ikea

[obsidian wyvern]

I get wanting anything because infinite has given nothing, but of everything.. the plasma rifle? you don't even see anyone pick it up

[gilded wedge]

The plasma rifle in the mac build had the Green Gun’s charge. bring it in

[trim saddle]

add a fire and its well furnaced

[normal owl]

GOOD one

[bleak shoal]

Cuz it not in the game

[candid tusk]

Plasma Rifle + Spiker combo slays.

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm talking about in the games it's in obviously

[gilded wedge]

Wort Wort

[trim saddle]

wort wort

[bleak shoal]

Wort wort

[gilded wedge]

the Halo reach AR sucks yet its in every game except halo 2

[lavish hamlet]

since we’re on the topic of caves, real ones remember the shirtless man easter egg from halo 3

[obsidian wyvern]

idk like if you're going for something to strip shields, you'd see people go for the plasma pistol

[bleak shoal]

Tbf, the pp is more numerous

[gilded wedge]

just change how it works idk why it has to “act as it did”

[trim saddle]

the one that required a grenade jump to get to in campaign? or the one hidden far in the distance on a multiplayer map?

[obsidian wyvern]

I guess the red plasma rifle was used a lot on that qp forerunner halo 5 map but I don't think there was a plasma pistol lol

[gilded wedge]

The Halo Assault Rifle got buffs

[fickle drift]

Generally I'd have just preferred it over the Storm Rifle for the look
But since Infinite doesn't have either it's 🤷‍♂️

[bleak shoal]

Idk I'd this applies to everyone, but the PR was just suppose to be a consistent long range shield stripper while the PP was meant for rush down strats.

[lavish hamlet]

LOL a true legend 🫡. i was referring to the campaign one but yea i forgot about the one on standoff i think its called

[fickle drift]

Kinda feels like a gun needed for enemies to have a general automatic than for actual player use
Outside of the niche in CE with the stun mechanic

[bleak shoal]

Every gun should have a niche tbh

[gilded wedge]

Theres ways to improve the Plasma Rifle. One being to change plasma

[bleak shoal]

The AR in CE being good against hordes of grunts

[trim saddle]

i wish the PR would be in infinite and have the stun mechanic, and itll be instantly GA'd in HCS but thats fine for them.

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't think of the campaign ngl, that is true

[gilded wedge]

plasma is gonna be outclassed by ballistics if the AR is gonna be as good as it is. And takes 5 shots of a sidekick

to strip shields*

[granite sky]

h1 ar is good for my monkey brain as well

[gilded wedge]

plasma needs a new gimmick

[bleak shoal]

It should be better at a long range than the AR

[obsidian wyvern]

on the topic of CE, how tf did people do that 2 betrayals achievement for not killing any grunts on legendary

[trim saddle]

run, but not sprint cuz its CE lol

[bleak shoal]

By not killing them

[obsidian wyvern]

genuinely losing my mind trying to do this

[gilded wedge]

Skill issue

[bleak shoal]

Literally you have the flood to deal with them

[gilded wedge]

I just uninstall game

[obsidian wyvern]

you don't have the flood in the hardest room to clear

[bleak shoal]

Just run past them lol

[obsidian wyvern]

you can't it's legendary lol

[fickle drift]

Just got to rely on killing the Elites scaring them tbh

[bleak shoal]

Yeah killing the elites makes the grunts flee in terror so 🤷‍♂️

[obsidian wyvern]

I did try that but the set of grunts guarding the exit don't budge

[bleak shoal]

Because the elite you killed wasn't in their squad then

[candid tusk]

Play it on co-op with the other person killing everything.

[trim saddle]

i feel like that would ruin the achievement for all

[obsidian wyvern]

thats a possibility but I kinda wanted to do it legit

[bleak shoal]

Or do that lol

You technically are doing it legitimately

[obsidian wyvern]

I killed every elite there lol

h8 u did it solo right

[bleak shoal]

Oh then idk. Just hide behind some cover and there firing patterns should return back to level 0

[fickle drift]

I think I did it and the keep weapons one in the same run

But I can't remember if that was OG Anni or MCC, so maybe tickrate and enemy behaviour idk

[bleak shoal]

Does CE have a weapon scary value? Or did that start at 2

[trim saddle]

infinite has the weapon but shes not scary thankfully

that would be interesting to have an AI that tries to jumpscare you though lol

[amber mirage]

Halo 3

[trim saddle]

id rather not talk about the mission "cortana"

[amber mirage]

Minding my own business and then Cortana pops up out of nowhere

[bleak shoal]

Oh yeah it did start at two

Too bad Halo Infinite doesn't have one. Would've been cool to have a squad of grunts and pull out a energy sword, and they all flee in terror

[trim saddle]

whats the highest rated "scary value" that a weapon has and what is the weapon?

[bleak shoal]

Between the energy sword and rocket launcher

[trim saddle]

Oh makes sense.

[bleak shoal]

The rocket launcher immediately made any zealots and ultra berserk on sight

[gilded wedge]

Halo Dating simulator is just which weapon has the best “hot” value

[trim saddle]

nooo not the wall sphyncters

[bleak shoal]

Lower ranking elites, grunts, and jackals just did their best to get out of sight

[candid tusk]

Gllllrrrpp.

[valid portal]

This can't be done in CE but during halo 2 playing as chief while elites are being killed by brutes, you can straight up ignore alot of the grunts as they are running around in panic

[trim saddle]

i can hear it.. i hate it..

[meager linden]

Good mission

[trim saddle]

i just didnt like people butting into gameplay for this "can i have a moment of your time to talk about our lord and savior Prophet of Regret?" thing

[gilded wedge]

is he not our lord and savior

[trim saddle]

not yours, no.

[gilded wedge]

He def is my healer

“charge me doctor”

[trim saddle]

he just wanted to help advance the great journey, can ya blame the dude?

[gilded wedge]

He made a deal with the devil to be a covenant prophet

[valid portal]

Thank god for 4 player co-op being a thing or running through the cortana section in 3 would be even more annoying because of reloading from checkpoint

[gilded wedge]

I hear he’s a Mercenary now

[trim saddle]

deal with the devil, and a demon came for him hue hue hue

[gilded wedge]

for like 1 out of 9 hearts he had

[obsidian wyvern]

that's what I'm tryna do

[obsidian wyvern]

it can be done

[valid portal]

I meant can't be done as in
Grunts ignoring you entirely and instead running around in circles until a brute kills them or something in 2

[steady jolt]

Mr Monopoli did zero shot runs on CE. I think maybe ProAce Joker did too?

[obsidian wyvern]

monopoli is that speedrunner right

[steady jolt]

Yeah

You don't need to go full zero shot, but it will have some good skips and strats

[trim saddle]

reminds me of how much of a pain it was to not kill sentinels on a mission to get a skull in infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

there's so much luck involved with a lot of speedrun tactics I've watched, this included

[steady jolt]

I did that by accident by speed running on easy 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

bandana + grapple lol

[fickle drift]

I'd suggest banshee-out-of-level but

[candid tusk]

Summon your inner Master Chief.

[obsidian wyvern]

i haven't got to the banshee grab section yet

[candid tusk]

That part is terrible. You can kind of get it with grenades timed properly, but it's rough.

[trim saddle]

at the time i didnt have the bandana skull. This was when the game first dropped. I did LASO on December 31st, 2021 so any skulls were before that lol

[obsidian wyvern]

actually that's a different mission lol

[nocturne raft]

heya

anyone know a fix for the low poly graphics on infinites campaign?

[lavish hamlet]

i will wait as long as i have to for a match of ranked invasion. unpopular opinion but this game mode should be one of the trendy ones.

[meager linden]

I ignored them

As you pinged me, so right now I'm going to sleep, thanks

[pliant hatch]

which exit?

[obsidian wyvern]

https://youtu.be/863zJG5I964?si=pO8oWY0EGzL_ihDq

it doesn't give me the ability to timestamp on mobile anymore but the room at 5:07

you can also see it's the most popular part of the video lol

silver makes everything look easy ngl

[pliant hatch]

do mean the room right after the bridge part?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah, after you deactivate the first thing and fly down to the bridge

[pliant hatch]

so you can't go into that door on the bridge? I would say to shoot the elite or fly/shoot around them and see if they'll scare. or bail the banshee right at the door and make a break for it and hope they miss.

[obsidian wyvern]

I can get through that door, it's just the first room after that

[elfin kelp]

Ah

[remote trench]

@dreamy stirrup we found him, he need the cosplay channel please

[dreamy stirrup]

done!

[meager linden]

Oh yeah
I was shocked when I saw that lol

But true
In Infinite i can't see my legs on 120° FOV

[amber mirage]

I was shocked too. Never saw legs before.

[meager linden]

Ok
See you all tomorrow

[pliant hatch]

oh, maybe throw a nade in their vicinity or stand close with the door open so they'll start moving or just try to run past them after you throw the nade so they're startled.

[fossil skiff]

78° FOV or lower afaik

[meager linden]

78° FOV bad

[hasty zinc]

go to bed

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/phk2.gif

[graceful inlet]

Good night!

[fossil skiff]

Remember when Rev got a timeout to make him go to bed

[obsidian wyvern]

not fun times

[hasty zinc]

I got one too 😦

[obsidian wyvern]

at your big age???

[fossil skiff]

Aegis got in trouble??

[hasty zinc]

yeah this was 4 years ago now

[obsidian wyvern]

damn I missed this

[hasty zinc]

my only mute

my record TARNISHED

[fossil skiff]

wow

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/xNxC.gif

[ocean herald]

I’ve never been muted before

[meager linden]

Same

[fossil skiff]

Slander Halo 4 enough and you will :D

[trim saddle]

I dont plan on giving them a reason to mute me

[ocean herald]

I like to keep my options open

Halo 4 is….

[obsidian wyvern]

mid

[meager linden]

Halo 4

[trim saddle]

still a halo

[obsidian wyvern]

upgrade from trash on my last tierlist

[hasty zinc]

[fossil skiff]

Rev ruin h4 chain speedrun any %

[trim saddle]

D150 is a sleep talker, which includes discord chat apparently.

[obsidian wyvern]

I've been muted for not going to sleep 3 times

[fossil skiff]

Nice mute 🤣

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL

[trim saddle]

3 times is definitely a number.

[fickle drift]

More than it should be but still less than I thought

[obsidian wyvern]

@smoky token hater

[slow ferry]

wsg chat

[trim saddle]

food is good

also halo

[candid tusk]

I have no idea what wsg could mean.

[trim saddle]

"whats good" i imagine.

[candid tusk]

That'd be wig though. lol

[trim saddle]

the population that says "whats good" leaves parts out in speech, more akin to "whas good"

[obsidian wyvern]

finally made it through that room and I'm not getting a checkpoint

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[trim saddle]

I grew up in flint, I can translate for you if you have any questions.

[candid tusk]

Kids these days, speek americahn dag nabbit.

[trim saddle]

tru dat

[forest lagoon]

Waiting for it to go full circle and the kids discover talking with numbers replacing letters and seeing what they call it instead of 1337

[obsidian wyvern]

and it reset me after 10 minutes more progress I hate this game

[granite sky]

beep boot bop 💀 blip 🧠 😂 👊

[slow ferry]

halos goaded

goated*

[lapis ivy]

Jesus I missed that too cause I wasn't part of the server yet

[hasty zinc]

yee

[lapis ivy]

Ok I got my response from steam and they forwarded it to the forums? Omg 🤦‍♂️

About the controllers acting weird taking a long time to turn off

And I don't think they have anything to do with the Xbox console cause they sync to one device at a time?

[obsidian wyvern]

you can pair them to more than one device

[bleak shoal]

It's "wsg"

[lapis ivy]

So if they're paired to the Xbox can they also be paired to a PC at the same time?

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean you can't use them on both at the exact same time, but you can pair them to both and switch pretty easily

[lapis ivy]

Oh so you simply unpair it from one device and pair it with the other?

I think that's how it should work I suppose

[trim saddle]

I had an issue where my xbox wireless headset would randomly switch from my PC to my xbox so I had to tell my PC to forget the headset and the issue was resolved, so I can see how having more than one thing paired to controllers could cause an issue.

[lapis ivy]

Well the truth is I have two controllers synced to my two PCs they're not synced to the Xbox but still has me wandering why they take a long time to turn off

I'm contacting Xbox support and they tell I got wait 22 minutes 😂

[trim saddle]

🤷‍♂️

[lapis ivy]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[trim saddle]

id say pull the battery but most of mine are elite controllers so... yeah that might not be possible to do for some.

[lapis ivy]

They used to regularly turn off in 2 minutes but somehow they take a long time now and how many controllers you can pair with the Xbox console by any chance?

[normal owl]

You'll want to move this to #1075989764026675210 as it's likelier that others who have encountered this issue are there as well.

[lapis ivy]

Alright thanks bro Attorney

[obsidian wyvern]

hold the Xbox/power button for ages and it switches off

[lapis ivy]

Oop I'm getting the callback from support but yeah I'll post it in the community self help thanks attorney

[normal owl]

Thank you, yeah it'll be good for us to know what they say!

[candid tusk]

Wiggle so good.

[bleak shoal]

Alr

[hasty zinc]

I dont know where these fruit flies are coming from but they're driving me INSANE

[forest lagoon]

Do you not just hold down the Xbox button on the controller until it turns off?

[lapis ivy]

You mean gnats? They're the only fruit flies I know

[hasty zinc]

yeah

[lapis ivy]

No just let it turn off by itself

[forest lagoon]

They were so bad at work not that long ago, two coworkers bought Venus Fly Traps lol

I use my controllers as if they are wired controllers when I'm at my PC so not a thing I worry about.

But if I'm gaming with my iPad I will manually turn them off when finished because they will turn off when I say they will not when they feel like it.

[hasty zinc]

I just put the fly paper roll up and I'm watching them get stuck

[lapis ivy]

I like Venus fly traps but I don't know how to keep them from dying lol

[hasty zinc]

feed them flies

[normal owl]

now hang on a minute...

[amber mirage]

Used to have a bunch a couple years back that would fly near my desk and land on my monitors. Bought a pack index cards to and would take two and clap them together to get the fly and not make a mess.

[hasty zinc]

that's a good idea, but I'm far too lazy

I'll let technology do the work for me

[amber mirage]

Understandable. It was mainly because not all them would go for the flypaper.

Had to take care of the stragglers somehow and didn't want to clean fly off my monitor or desk

[lapis ivy]

Bug zappers aren't a thing nowadays?

[hasty zinc]

they are

[lapis ivy]

I've seen them at 99¢ stores probably not very effective ones but maybe academy has the good ones

[amber mirage]

You have to clean up after a bug zapper and I'm too lazy for that

[forest lagoon]

The most satisfying thing ever was coming back from a hunting trip and being attacked by mosquitoes that were flying through the bug spray as if it was their life fuel and didn't care...
Taking that electric fly swatter and killing them all inside the truck was nice...

BUT

Rolling down the window as we drove holding it outside was beautiful

So many skeeters dead

[cedar turret]

https://tenor.com/view/mosquito-giant-gif-14169911

vengeance will come

[forest lagoon]

No. It is my retribution.

[hasty zinc]

they're very annoying so it's a bonus to watch them get more stuck the more they struggle on the strip

[fickle drift]

Hello

[lapis ivy]

How bout giant spiders?

[fickle drift]

No

[lapis ivy]

I mean spiders eat the files lol

[rustic breach]

Happy Monday fellas; unfortunately I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps right now.

[fickle drift]

Whys that?

[bleak shoal]

Monday do be like that sometimes 😔

[rustic breach]

You don't wanna open up that box brother, I appreciate you asking, I'll save you from the BS

[fickle drift]

Ok 👍

[forest lagoon]

There's a whole children's book about this. Next thing you know, Aegis will have a horse in the office and have to explain that to HR

[near salmon]

you actually arent allowed to play halo on the mcc, some 20 year dbag w 8000 hours on the game will show up every lobby without fail

[cedar turret]

giant spiders are a vague category anyway. A giant spider could be the size of Chihuahua or the golden gate bridge. It doesn't convey enough information

[near salmon]

the game's a complete unplayable mess

[quaint canyon]

when was the last time you've used the plasma rifle?

[near salmon]

like these guys go hard they run my whole team off, like what was the point even? now no one gets to play

[fossil skiff]

Better than an ostrich in an elevator I suppose

[near salmon]

psa, mcc social is in fact not mlg guys

you wont get money for winning

[bleak shoal]

The only arachnid that gets to the size of a chihuahua would be a tarantula.

Giant spiders. . . Yikes

Jumping spiders have a soft place in my heart though

They're so chill

[near salmon]

i plead with them in the chat to let us play and that everyone will leave with them tryharding but they never listen and then everyone leaves

[cedar turret]

Jumping snakes are more fun. Especially, when you've taught a copperhead to use a pogo stick.

[bleak shoal]

Lol. The people who have a bunch of snake tanks usually have too many snakes who would kill them on sight

[fossil skiff]

Only thing I’m teaching a copperhead is what a shovel feels like

[bleak shoal]

Facts

[fossil skiff]

Or, if you’re like a relative of mine, a pistol. Because they like to nest on his farm :/

[bleak shoal]

It is what it is

[hasty zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIZm3xkTcp4

[dusty peak]

Hey I have a question. In halo mcc with the center and lower crooshair settings. Does that effect the reticle crosshair for vehicles as well?

Never thought of that question till yesterday

[bleak shoal]

I think so

I mean it wouldn't make sense not to

[dusty peak]

Yea it was just a question that just sprung in my head as I was thinking of trying laso eventually

[granite sky]

do CGB i reccomend

[bleak shoal]

Stop

[near salmon]

whats cgb

[bleak shoal]

Custom Games Browser

Stop

[granite sky]

custom game browser. check out invasion mods servers in there it's pretty fun

[bleak shoal]

STOP TYPING DOOR

[lapis ivy]

What's the audiobook for

[bleak shoal]

Thank God

[lapis ivy]

Still wandering what else is in store for forge that's all

[bleak shoal]

I hope marines can drive vehicles

Like bots already can. Just give them bot nav mesh and just make animations for them to drive all vehicles

[lapis ivy]

Nah only the banished do for what I've seen I've added bots but they killed all my banished teammate AI

[elfin glacier]

idk how to say this but in a pvp game people like to win

[lapis ivy]

I want more skybox options in forge cause it has gotten a little boring with not having zeta halo clouds on void or the desert map I forgot it's name

[bleak shoal]

The ability to stop environment fx from showing up in places

Halo 5 did it, idk why Infinite didnt

[lapis ivy]

What skybox backgrounds?

[bleak shoal]

Like snowing fx

[bleak shoal]

I want an army of warthogs and scorpions to follow me in forge

[lapis ivy]

Was it you who got AI to fly around in banshees?

[bleak shoal]

It was @fickle drift first and then I followed up with a more polished version

[gilded wedge]

i made a pizza

[bleak shoal]

Before a update, his method was to trap banshees in a dome.
Idk what update did this, but I found out that AI banshees will shoot targets if they're set to follow those targets

[lapis ivy]

Wow idk how you guys did it cause some say it requires aerial navigation mesh for that to work

[bleak shoal]

It's rly simple now

Their target has to be in the air though. . . Like a phantom, another banshee, or the wasp

So the use of banshee enemies can only be used in aerial segments

[lapis ivy]

I'm quite disappointed with the no possibility of sentinels in forge lol

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bleak shoal]

Would've been easy to implement actually. Set the sentinels as spawn able AI but give the forgers to ability to place down their flight path

[heavy crane]

mb didn’t realize I was supposed to be losing on purpose

[bleak shoal]

Cuz in Infinite, they like to move from 1 place to another and stop, which is opposed to their 2 and 3 counterparts where they're always on the move

So their flight path is simplified from this 1 example

[lapis ivy]

So that's why they're not going to be part of the toolkit as they said cause they require a 3d nav mesh

Eh that's a bummer

[elfin glacier]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=tVSvaq0J84M

[lapis ivy]

Although they exist in campaign with the banished AI in one place at the same time

[elfin glacier]

is bird law like tree law

[bleak shoal]

Custom Halo forge missions in Infinite kind of suck

Most of them have really uninspiring design and most of them have lackluster encounters.

Why hasn't a mission taken advantage of the banshee Nav Mesh yet

[amber mirage]

Be the change you want to see

[bleak shoal]

Maybe

[lapis ivy]

I would've loved to have sentinels and marines teaming up in FF koth like a pair of friendly hunters or elites spawn in but again the no possibility

[fossil skiff]

You can.

[bleak shoal]

Peak mission design in Halo is when you offer a bunch of ways to handle things

Open environments too

[fossil skiff]

Custom equipment. It’s on fragmentation, scarr, and breaker

[amber mirage]

Sounds like Halo 5

[bleak shoal]

When you 1st get the scorpion it's a small linear path 😔

[lapis ivy]

And imagine having them sentinels flying around in your custom maps yeah that would be such an experience

[bleak shoal]

I haven't played 5 in a long time but I'll try to analyze it's level layout from Ben Plays

[fossil skiff]

This is not acceptable

[granite sky]

its hard to do an open worldish custom mission bc with more players going diff ways, u need more ai spawners activating to fill up the larger map, while also limiting them to theoretically have multiple sections active at once. then each encounter will be low amount of AI. it can work for like 4 players I guess but for large lobby strike missions the more linear style is needed to keep everyone contained and really toss AI or control the encounter more

[tardy hull]

Anyone been around since Halo Reach times? I am searching a montage of the Halo Reach beta that had Cracks by Freestylers (Flux Pavilion) playing and when the player in the clips was about to kill someone it would go into slowmo and draw a white outline around the enemies. I've been looking far and wide but I cannot find it q.q Help is appreciated <3

[lapis ivy]

I liked forge in halo 5 for a time but I got tired as there was no object scaling or AI tools in it and with halo infinite I got hooked on it

[bleak shoal]

You have to rly sell the illusion for it to work sadly

One halo modder once said, "we have to force our players to have fun lol"

[limpid nova]

I got kicked for dropping a triple kill marked as "betrayal" in social with rockets, at least I found out kicking works

[bleak shoal]

There is 2 missions to actually take inspiration from that are rly good custom missions.

Zero Point Order and that 1 Sunanion remake?

[iron thicket]

Ngl making halo ce and halo 2 backwards compatible would be pretty neat for the 25th anniversary

[lapis ivy]

What's the desert maps name in halo infinite I forgot lol

[bleak shoal]

I think it's Arid

[lapis ivy]

Oh ok thanks

[bleak shoal]

could've looked it up lol

[iron thicket]

PLEASE MICROSOFT

[lapis ivy]

That map also lacks the zeta halo clouds skybox

[bleak shoal]

Are clouds not a fx object?

[lapis ivy]

No

[bleak shoal]

Damn

I probably won't work on a custom campaign mission but there is 1 thing I would like to do before I eventually never touch this game again

[granite sky]

u can do the flood fog fx but it hurts performance. pretty cloudish

[peak wagon]

Hello everyone

[bleak shoal]

Any forgers think it's possible to have an elite technically board your warthog with you if you spawn in a bot?

[lapis ivy]

Although I do want ocean waves FX for the water that would be nice and seashells as decals

[peak wagon]

What’s everyone’s favourite halo game ?

[bleak shoal]

Halo 3

[peak wagon]

Me too

Halo 3 is king

[bleak shoal]

Halo 3 just has the most iconic missions

[iron thicket]

Reach

[peak wagon]

Yes Fr same with halo 2 missions the flood was sick

[peak wagon]

Yes that is phills favourite game

[granite sky]

i couldnt even figure out how to teleport spartan bots into a player piloted phantom. once the bots spawned it would just spawn a ton of phantoms and crash the game

[peak wagon]

I work for phill he’s a good halo player

[hasty zinc]

master chief and I share the same favorite Halo game

[bleak shoal]

Yeah but they're unpolished state rly made the playthrough a sore experience

Halo 2 flood are too spongey

[peak wagon]

Yes that’s right but halo 3 missions were fun co op too

With friends

[limpid nova]

Halo 5

[peak wagon]

That was a fun halo too I miss playing it

[lapis ivy]

I've been into creating oceanic themed maps for a long time now but the only way I make it look as if there were waves I would just use underwater splash FX I think the only way to save budget is if they add waves as FX to forge

[bleak shoal]

They somehow bypassed the spam rule

[hasty zinc]

taken care of

[bleak shoal]

Oh nvm

That was funny lol

[hasty zinc]

was it though?

[bleak shoal]

For me it was, I understand taking it down though but getting pressed over it, nah

[granite sky]

yeah i like mangoes

[lapis ivy]

Like six times of spam

And I'm full

[hasty zinc]

yeah after the first time it lost any humor it would have had

[bleak shoal]

Alr

It was just random that's all

[granite sky]

u underestimate how dumb i really am

[bleak shoal]

Mangoes are like top 5 in favorite fruits

You can't go wrong with them

[granite sky]

i never get a good one though its always the stringy ones. had like 2 actual good mangoes in my life

feel like i need to live somewhere they are native and grow well otherwise i get the scraps

[bleak shoal]

Depends on what store your getting it from

[lapis ivy]

I think u guys mean mangos 😂

[bleak shoal]

Yes

[lapis ivy]

I've had chamoy and chili mango dried strings

[granite sky]

thank u i will remember

[lapis ivy]

Man I remember getting chamoy candy apples two days ago

I could go for another

[fickle drift]

Cool, they kinda sound tasty

[bleak shoal]

Kinda? Definitely more like

[storm lily]

hello

[lapis ivy]

They are why I said I would go for another if the lady who sold them for $5 but it's random when people sell them

I would mention all the flavors etc but I don't wanna spike ur sweet tooth

[dusty peak]

Well I tested my question out and sadly in all halo titles in mcc all vehicle and turret reticles are center. So the center and lower crosshair options only for when you are on foot in First person only.

[vapid crypt]

You could cover up the bottom fifth of your screen and recreate the lowered cross hair look for full immersion

[dusty peak]

So it good information in case trying to do laso

[lapis ivy]

Anyone here use an Amazon Luna controller as a steam controller by any chance?

[meager linden]

Once my classmates brought dog or cat food (dry) to school as a joke, I don’t remember anymore, but when we tried it it was really tasty

[lapis ivy]

Eww dog food

[meager linden]

Well, I'm telling you, I don't remember if it was dog food or cat food

literally the next day everyone came as if nothing had happened

We laughed and forgot about it

[lapis ivy]

Maybe as a kid I found it tasty and my mom scolded me and saying why u eating it 😂

[tight tapir]

im just guessing, prob taste like MCD

[gilded wedge]

damn, this korean fried chicken rn is tasty

should order this stuff more often

[tight tapir]

🧐

[lapis ivy]

It's processed food so it tastes like how u describe it @tight tapir

[meager linden]

When I first read the food composition, I was surprised, cats and dogs eat much better than people

[gilded wedge]

i just wanted to eat my chicken 😔

[tight tapir]

what kind

[gilded wedge]

korean fried chicken

[tight tapir]

oh lol

[gilded wedge]

Waiting for Team Falcon news for Helldivers in Halo Version

[twilit vector]

If laskey has a theme I think it should be axios since he is probably the only member of that squad still alive and axios is a good theme

Still werid how a Tarzan movie used the theme in there trailer and movie

Good Morning!

[sharp aurora]

GREETINGS

[pulsar heron]

morning gamers 🫡

[lapis ivy]

Morning

I can't even sleep tho

[winter flame]

Im late 20s and I’m a halo 3 kid so I feel like reach kids are probably also well past their teens lol

Unless they were playing Xbox when they were 4 like Revenant

[pulsar heron]

i was a reach kid and i'm 25 lol

[obsidian wyvern]

i was a halo 3 kid more than a reach kid

[pulsar heron]

yeah tbf i was really only a reach kid on a technicality (my friend exclusively wanted to play reach instead of 3 once we both had reach. i guess she's the real reach kid)

the youngest a reach kid could feasibly be right now is like 10 years old

which makes me feel old

[halcyon mica]

You're ancient

By the standards of Club Penguin anyway

[pulsar heron]

[fickle drift]

Try being a CE kid lol, then you'd feel old like me

[halcyon mica]

Personally I'm a 23 year old CE/2 kid who is only like this because I didn't have a 360 and didn't know that Halo 3 existed until around the time that Reach was announced

[pulsar heron]

i wouldve been a CE or h2 kid had i not been a RaC kid for the first 10 years of my life

[halcyon mica]

Republic ahh Commando?

[pulsar heron]

ratchet and clank lol, i only had a ps2 for the longest time

[fickle drift]

I was 16 when I bought an og XBOX for CE, in 2002

[halcyon mica]

Prehistoric Gamer over here

[fickle drift]

Yep lol

[halcyon mica]

Did you first learn about Halo when the game went mainstream?

[fickle drift]

My friend showed me it

I was so blown away I saved up as fast as possible for a console. But we did it co-op split screen too

[halcyon mica]

Those were the days

[fickle drift]

Yeah great times. We did 2 and 3 release day co op, each game in one sitting on Legendary

Those were great times to be a gamer

[halcyon mica]

Good lord. 2 on legendary in a single day? Thankfully nobody knew about skulls back then

Or, a single sitting, at least.

[pulsar heron]

i love hearing stories like this

[fickle drift]

^^ it was amazing honestly, the excitement of the Halo trilogy launch days

[pulsar heron]

my 360 was connected to the family tv, so i never had the experience of late night halo, in the dark, on a school night. i always wanted to but never could ):

[halcyon mica]

Living in the Golden age and not even knowing it

[pulsar heron]

i got to experience something close when the 360 servers shut down which was fun

[fickle drift]

Historical moment too, I have heard stories about that

[halcyon mica]

The Noble 14 of Halo 2

[fickle drift]

Aye, and the 14 dead Spartans on the Reach mission Lone Wolf are a tribute to them

[lapis ivy]

Reach kid?

[ocean herald]

yeah reach kids are mid/late 20s

i was in middle shool and my brother was just about entering middle school when we played reach, and i'm 27 now

so i can't envision a reach kid being under 20 lol

[quiet warren]

I was 14 when halo 3 came out

[ocean herald]

i was either 11/12

i didn't play h3 at launch though

[jade gust]

I thought Halo 2's servers were shut down after Reach released?

[steady jolt]

Xbox/Halo shut down in the April, Reach released in September

[steady jolt]

Never heard of this before though

[fallow turtle]

That's kinda neat

[steady jolt]

Not mentioned on Halopedia either, so I'm not sure where that story came from

[candid tusk]

It came from the land of playground fairytales.

[jade gust]

Ah, my bad. Been a while since I looked into OG Halo 2's servers being turned off

[jade gust]

Like how Mew is under that truck

[ocean herald]

there's dead spartans scattered throughout the level but i didn't realize there was "lore" about who they were

https://www.halopedia.org/Thirteen_dead_Spartans

[jade gust]

It's more just speculation than proper lore. Like we know they were there and died. But we don't know who they are or where they came from

[ocean herald]

yeah basically what that halopedia link says. the armor/gender is random each time the level loads, which i did not know

[candid tusk]

People in power armor lost to Reach, same as Noble 6 will be. Nameless and faceless.

[rare cedar]

All info from dog is reputable

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I've still got it on my Xbox

[normal owl]

You might need an ext HD to make space to install that.

[obsidian wyvern]

all those live fire matches

[hasty zinc]

that's the main reason why I dislike that map

[candid tusk]

I did appreciate the joy of the bots leveling up and wrecking shop for a bit.

[obsidian wyvern]

live fires one of the best maps in halo, but playing it so much ruined it

[pulsar cobalt]

False Behemoth is the best halo map

[hasty zinc]

like in ALL of Halo or just infinite?

[obsidian wyvern]

you should leave

behemoth and good do not belong in the same sentence

[pulsar cobalt]

All of halo the map just plays super well and great for vehicles

[candid tusk]

The best Halo map in all of Halo is Glacial Ravine.

[pulsar cobalt]

They do

[obsidian wyvern]

I can't even tell if you're joking because you actually do like bad maps

[candid tusk]

Their tastes are different than yours. Better, more refined.

[hasty zinc]

that's a weird way to spell exile

[candid tusk]

Exile's OK. If we're talking BTB FPS maps, my vote goes to Sandtrap.

I very much dislike how low the skybox ceiling is for Exile.

[pulsar cobalt]

Not joking i'm being for real i generally think behemoth is amazing the aesthetic and that is just great and i want more of it for maps

[obsidian wyvern]

thank god you're not on the halo map team

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[rare cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-yapping-level-today-catastrophic-yapanese-gif-13513208407930173397

[obsidian wyvern]

it looks good though, just doesn't play well

[candid tusk]

Yeah, they're putting out bangers like Detachment and Corrosion.

[obsidian wyvern]

[candid tusk]

Behemoth is leagues ahead of those. lol

OG Infinite team knew what they were doing. Nailed it.

[obsidian wyvern]

corrosion is a level higher in how it is
behemoth and detachment are just as bad in different teams

[pulsar cobalt]

Corrosion is so bad

[rare cedar]

Go into forge and make a better map. I'll wait

[normal owl]

Nothing beats Blood Gulch with shotties only and no vehicles.

[obsidian wyvern]

the first set of infinite maps, minus launch site and behemoth were really good

bazaar was eh actually

[pulsar cobalt]

Launch site 🔥

[obsidian wyvern]

[pulsar cobalt]

I think every launch map on infinite is amazing the team cooked with them

[candid tusk]

You'll have to wait a while. I'm not in my "Going back to school for my Associates of Halo Infinite Forge" era.

I love what people who do really care about learning and using Forge as it has evolved are able to do, but man... Really wish there was a Halo: Reach mode for Forge in Infinite. Toddler mode for people who take one look and say "I ain't gonna learn all that."

Continued.... When it's nearing dev kit level tools, there's a give and take for the player of... Do I learn this tool, for this game specifically? Or do I go and learn Unity or Unreal. lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Launch site i reckon was meant to have some payload mode the way it is just feels like that

[normal owl]

In seriousness though, no map has stirred the "awww yeah!" when it comes up in rotation like Battle of Noctus in H5.

[candid tusk]

Sentry Defense on Control is that map/mode combo for me. It's just too fun.

The newer BTB map Thunderhead is also very, very cool with the starting area having you leap down to the play field.

[normal owl]

Love that "woohoo!" feeling when your preferred map comes up!

[rare cedar]

YESSSSSSSS

[viral dune]

Hi

[candid tusk]

Welcome back.

[viral dune]

Thank you

[normal owl]

Have you tried any new games yet?

[viral dune]

In a couple of days I'll get Warhammer 40k space marine 2!

[normal owl]

WHOA, the Emperor provides!

[viral dune]

Attorney will you get the game or do you have it bro

[normal owl]

You going to play with Recon and Osky and [who else has it too?]

[viral dune]

Solvoyager

[normal owl]

I don't have it since I know for sure I won't have the time to enjoy it with how busy work has been. Am about 1/3 through Star Wars Outlaws and then Assassin's Creed Shadows comes out in mid-November. But I 100% intend on playing it at some point.

And it'll only get cheaper with time.

[candid tusk]

We hope.

[viral dune]

When you get it we could play it too bro

[normal owl]

I would love that: co-op campaigns are one of my favorite gamings activities ever.

[viral dune]

Same! And when there's friendly fire enabled it makes things 737% better

[valid portal]

I haven't ever tried infinites forge
But from a distance, it appears like map development software, something that feels completely separate from the game compared to something like reach's forge

[normal owl]

Ok FF I am not on board with lol

[viral dune]

[normal owl]

I'd bet that it will: the market is not kind long-term to story/adventure games that give a nice full up-front experience, so I expect it to be half off by the new year lol.

[meager linden]

Good evening everyone

[viral dune]

Did you drink hot orange juice today

[normal owl]

Good evening! Did you have a nice sleep?

[meager linden]

Ofc

[candid tusk]

I wouldn't bet anything as I'm mostly joking. We know there's no Nintendo sticker on the box. lol

[normal owl]

Lol, on sale for 20% off in 2030.

I was joking but that's actually kind of accurate.

[candid tusk]

30% more in 2030. Nintendo needs to keep prices going with inflation of course. If you didn't buy the newest Mario at $60, surely you'll buy it at $80.

[amber mirage]

Well, Space Marine 1 is still $60 on Steam, so it could go either way

[viral dune]

Rok are you gonna get space marine 2

[amber mirage]

Not for a long long time

[viral dune]

[candid tusk]

I'd like to get it, but my desktop is flirting with minimum specs and I don't like that.

[valid portal]

All I know is
I'm done with Nintendo and going full pc

[normal owl]

It needs to know its worth and only give time of day to maximum specs

[hasty zinc]

that's why every PC game should have a demo

[winter flame]

Every steam game does. It’s the refund button 😄

[fossil skiff]

It was way cheaper and then they jacked the price up kinda wack imo

nvm i am dumb

[candid tusk]

...True, but I'd like to go all in on the Mega Super Deluxe edition and I don't think the DLC stuff is included in the refund.

[gilded wedge]

Alot of games take up alot of space

[gilded wedge]

do games just not compress anymore

[valid portal]

For some developers, yes

[gilded wedge]

I remember Doom Eternal was like 30 gb at launch

[valid portal]

I thought eternal was 70gb

[gilded wedge]

before DLC and post content it was 30

Jedi Survivor was like 128 and crashes on pc. Fantastic

[hasty zinc]

I remember when Titanfall 1 on PC had over 40GB of uncompressed audio

[valid portal]

At least alot of developers compress stuff well

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-peek-hiding-hide-gif-5340342

[hasty zinc]

it might have been 35 but still, it was a lot

[valid portal]

As its often a loud minority of games that eat up space

[steady jolt]

Compressing for download makes sense, but compressing for during gameplay isn't always perfomant

[trim saddle]

Performant sounds like a cologne for gamers.

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/VurZ.gif

Hundred dollar idea right there

[hasty zinc]

get doritos onboard

theyll get their dust covered fingers on everything eventually

I don't like the playstation style joystick setup on the 8bitdo

[valid portal]

I somehow go between playstation layout and xbox/nintendo layout like it's nothing

[hasty zinc]

is this new?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[candid tusk]

There's a remix thing Discord is also testing on mobile with some users. Same with the clan stuff. Lots of things in the wild in different baskets right now.

[obsidian wyvern]

remix thing has been here for like a year I think, this is really new

[trim saddle]

I.T. here, can confirm lol Google has a quick certification process you can go through to learn the basics of I.T. among other areas of expertise. Theyll even give your info to the correct field you learned.

[valid portal]

My question is what is the point of these features when it costed losing 25mb uploads and 480p streaming

[candid tusk]

$$$ nothing else to it.

[valid portal]

I don't understand taking 480p streaming away then
To make lower end machines unable to stream in the first place?

[candid tusk]

I can only see 480p being the high end for something like a school issued Chromebook in the year 2024.

[valid portal]

Those computers are bottom of the barrel
They're to
comparable as a low to med end computer from the late 2000s in capability

[candid tusk]

Perfect for Google docs and classroom.

[valid portal]

And also the fact that you cannot use it without internet
Online only hardware... (I know you can use it offline once you tinkered with the settings but still)

[molten pelican]

chromebooks suck I used to own one, horrible

after like half a year they start getting worse lmao

[valid portal]

I remember the ads in the day suggesting you can game (you can't aside from the crappy play store which contains stuff that would perform horribly anyway)

[candid tusk]

That may have been referring more towards Stadia access.

[molten pelican]

yep, I made it linux and attempted to run minecraft just to see lol

dont think it got 10 fps

[valid portal]

ChromeOS is a butchered android which is already butchered arm architecture linux

[obsidian wyvern]

had a friend with one of those Chromebooks given by the school, it could barely keep chrome open lol

[molten pelican]

basically severely limited linux then?

[valid portal]

basically

although android feels like a separate entity from linux entirely

[molten pelican]

opening more than 3 tabs and it forgets its supposed to do something when you click a button

[valid portal]

Chromebooks may as well be E-waste if schools never used them

[molten pelican]

I guess its expected from such a cheap piece of tech, but surely there isnt something slightly better around the price? (imo just dont buy something cheap in the first place)

[candid tusk]

Probably had a bunch of junk extensions installed.

[valid portal]

I've been seeing higher priced chromebooks lately and I'm just like "wtf, it being pricey defeats the whole purpose"

[molten pelican]

just looked it up they making them 300+ now? 😂 mine was like 110 although that was before a lot of the rising prices

at that point just save a little more and get something infinitely better

[obsidian wyvern]

nah he opened it with all of us around and after setup it was already performing badly. most people the school gave it to ended up using their own from home

[valid portal]

Already more than half way to a steam deck oled

[molten pelican]

i need to get myself one of those

never owned a handheld like that would be nice for long flights and such

[obsidian wyvern]

i need to sell my switch but im too lazy

[valid portal]

I got one because it was impractical for me to get a heavy custom built machine (I have to move between 2 households every 2 weeks because family divorce)

[molten pelican]

il sell it for you and then il split the profits 90/10 because im a nice fellow

90/10 in my favor

[obsidian wyvern]

good deal

[molten pelican]

solid!

[normal owl]

Depending on your urgency, you may want to wait to purchase one until there are more announcements on portable gaming systems in development.

[obsidian wyvern]

the switch successorrr

[molten pelican]

from what ive seen they look very nice, im not worried about battery life since I would probably played plugged in anyways, good experience in your case?

[candid tusk]

Nintendo Swiitch.

[valid portal]

I was considering a ps5 until the helldivers situation happened, which made me want to avoid sony entirely
And I wasn't considering Xbox really because of the leaked stuff that's suggesting they're gonna phase out physical games

[trim saddle]

Looks like its gonna get switched out

[molten pelican]

good points, Ive been wanting once since launch but have been patient to get one to make sure they last

[hasty zinc]

we need a WiiU2

[valid portal]

So a wii 3

[molten pelican]

Im almost certain my most advanced minecraft world was in a Wii U

[candid tusk]

It'll release with or without you.

[molten pelican]

I loved my Wii U😂

[molten pelican]

Chances are without grandpa

[valid portal]

Never had a wii U but I loved my 2ds and wii

That's excellent buying strategy. Portable gaming systems are an industry section in rapid growth, and more big names may join.

[molten pelican]

flying the airplane into wii sports resort volcano was one of the great gaming achievements of the time

[molten pelican]

true true, il have to see what comes out during the holidays

[valid portal]

"If they came to hear me beg" achievement from halo reach and that one hl2 achievement that you get for using only the gravity gun throughout the entirety of ravenholm

[hasty zinc]

it's not bugged

😏

[amber mirage]

I just remembered, been a while since we celebrated Tornado day

[valid portal]

Bugged achievements still aren't a thing in modern halo I promise

que to 4 days ago when it took 40 minutes for a halo 2 toy achievement to trigger, it took long enough that I got the achievement while I was playing firefight

[molten pelican]

After the amount of office media you've sent I can only imagine you being the actual Asian Jim

[normal owl]

You're damn right I am. One of the best (easiest) Halloween costumes I've ever had.

[molten pelican]

[stoic sphinx]

I wish for an newest game.

This is,
Halo: New Dawn with a touch of Halo Reach style.

Make our fans smile.

[hasty zinc]

remove the Halo Reach style and I think you've nailed it

[molten pelican]

understandable

[molten pelican]

is it too modern for you?

[obsidian wyvern]

[hasty zinc]

all these kids with their new fangled dlss's and hdrs and whatnots

[molten pelican]

[valid portal]

The look of reach at least fitted reach because
This is the fall of reach, we are not winning the war until ce

[stoic sphinx]

Halo: New Dawn hehehehehe hehehe

[molten pelican]

Preach

[pulsar heron]

i think it got changed to that text version (or it's bugged and the video just isnt there now)

[hasty zinc]

back in my day we only had 8 bits and we loved it

[obsidian wyvern]

2021 i think

[obsidian wyvern]

ah rip

[hasty zinc]

the video about the bug is bugged

[candid tusk]

One single bit.

[valid portal]

back in my day we had compressed midi sounding audio on dual screen handhelds

[pulsar heron]

you guys had TWO screens ?!

[hasty zinc]

back in my day our handhelds were filled with water and rings you had to get on a spike

[amber mirage]

Back in my day, we didn't have screens. We had punchcards.

[molten pelican]

You guys weren't there when they released the fishing net and domestication of animals?

[valid portal]

Dammit I forgor that one johnson line that only plays on heroic
The 2 sticks and a rock

[obsidian wyvern]

[molten pelican]

The first rage quit machine

[obsidian wyvern]

[valid portal]

[hasty zinc]

[obsidian wyvern]

[hasty zinc]

[obsidian wyvern]

[hasty zinc]

[amber mirage]

Can't believe you edited the truth, Rev

[naive crystal]

true

[trim saddle]

-sigh- im still waiting on my tabletop halo. its been preordered for almost a year now.

[balmy cape]

Well I beat Halo 1 for the first time
I can see why it's so good
It's like half life just without the nerds
Being a Big badass with a big suit of armor killing everything Is awesome
I'm halfway through Halo 2 and I'm having a blast these games are incredible and fun
It's hard to believe people stopped making campaigns for fps games
Can you imagine a single player OverWatch campaign... Or tf2 campaign
Idk

[valid portal]

just don't do halo 2 heroic or your gonna hate the game

and legendary may as well be a death sentence

[meager linden]

Or legendary

Tomorrow will be a special day for halo 3 fans

[analog knot]

Its also on the same day playlists rotate for MCC, im sure there's going to be something fun thrown in

[valid portal]

I keep forgetting about the playlists rotating being a thing

[analog knot]

343 did too dont worry

[hasty zinc]

wait what's happening tomorrow

[valid portal]

Idk
Besides 25th being related to an achievement that you get when playing halo 3 on the 25th of any month

[hasty zinc]

oh because of the release date

[meager linden]

Oh it is?
Never know that

[hasty zinc]

so why is tomrorow a special day for Halo 3 fans?

besides the 17th anniversary?

[valid portal]

idk

I was thinking it was gonna be special because 20th anniversary before realizing that wouldn't make any sense as it released in 2007, not 2004

[hasty zinc]

@meager linden what did you mean by that?

[obsidian wyvern]

bcs birthday

[midnight relic]

HELLOO

[meager linden]

Good night Spartans

[midnight relic]

where are you from?

[meager linden]

From another galaxy

[midnight relic]

[meager linden]

Tomorrow is Halo 3 release
17 years ago

[midnight relic]

who play halo infinite online

[trim saddle]

a few people I hope

[bleak shoal]

Few people?

[granite sky]

im burnt out for halo but space marine 2 has been cool

[bleak shoal]

Yes

[meager linden]

I am too feeling that I am burning out for Halo
But I can't give up, I am just too close to reach Hero

[bleak shoal]

All this to just get the Master Chief armor

[meager linden]

Yes, another question?

[floral pollen]

the best* Chief armor

[obsidian wyvern]

ehh

[reef wharf]

Ngl im not emotionally prepared for halo2,s 20th anniversary wild it's been that long ....

[valid portal]

Oh dang
Half life 2 is turning 20 in November

[meager linden]

A few days for me, and I even don't know about Halo franchise till 2024
Since I joined the Halo community in April 2024

[reef wharf]

Always nice to see new player's discovery halo 👍

First time I played it was in 05

[valid portal]

And so is mgs3

mh already turned 20 this year

I started playing in 2022 or so
had reach on my xbox 360 but I was never allowed to play it
So mcc was how I played halo in 2022

A bit funny to think that me getting the xbox 360 for splitscreen minecraft eventually led to me and my brother getting an Xbox one s

[reef wharf]

Reach is forever a timeless game to me I can play it whenever and never get bored of it 👌

Played it since it came out

[midnight relic]

me too

[reef wharf]

I actually replayed odst since it turned 15 always nice to play some odst

[valid portal]

I wonder if there's a way to bring the original games loading screens to mcc

[obsidian wyvern]

there are mods for it

[reef wharf]

People have asked that question for years it would be awesome and mcc does have options now for backgrounds so it probably could come

[obsidian wyvern]

lets goo

[lapis ivy]

Still more to grind here already at platinum and not there yet

I almost forgot about this odst theme in MCC @obsidian wyvern

[obsidian wyvern]

i only found out about custom backgrounds a few weeks back

[candid solar]

@normal owl

[fleet gust]

mcc or 5 which has more social multiplayer players now

[obsidian wyvern]

mcc by far

[fair glen]

what are the chances that the anti cheat bug will be fixed xP

[granite sky]

rip

[candid tusk]

4% chance that it's fixed today. 99% chance that it's fixed sometime in the next three years.

[fair glen]

sad but likely true

[terse bay]

Bro that's 103%

[molten pelican]

how was that?😅

[fair glen]

its Microsoft math

[candid tusk]

Correct, if you add them, which is not how that works.

[obsidian wyvern]

pretty easy actually
