general-chat

[terse bay]

True

[obsidian wyvern]

this ones a mf, im gonna have to do it in coop later. solo was too hard since i wasnt getting checkpoints

[fickle drift]

It's a minor thing, but achievement images not matching the context is a bit eh

[granite sky]

yea i wonder why does it just pick random ones

[obsidian wyvern]

it bugs me so much

halo 5 does it too, so when i saw infinite made images specifically for the achievements i was happy

[forest lagoon]

I like the image to either match the achievement or to be really cool art you can collect (since you can make those your wallpaper)
Even better if it's both a pic featuring the achievement in a cool artistic way

[meager linden]

I'm so good at this game so even phantom can't spawn with the boss on aboard

Waiting with the team for like 5 minutes

FF mode, map "Shelter"

*Still waiting for phantom

[valid portal]

I have my xbox wallpaper set to one of the achievement wallpapers from doom 2016

[meager linden]

Welp, and there goes reach maps, but good they were added to the original map packs

[bold sparrow]

Now I can play them on Heroic with impunity. good.

[valid portal]

Is there a way to permanently keep replays on pc

[trim saddle]

replays?

[candid solar]

Recording them to your PC via the inbuilt recording function

[hasty zinc]

uh oh

[molten pelican]

Hmmmm

[hasty zinc]

someone said Assassins Creed: Red Flag lmao

[molten pelican]

Not wrong

[hasty zinc]

I hope it turns out ok though

I do like assassins creed games

and I know my better half is looking forward to it

[molten pelican]

Same, haven't played the latest and this one doesn't look as good (for me personally) but hoping it turns out alright

I actually like the RPG games lol so valhalla and odyssey are great for me

[hasty zinc]

Odyssey was fantastic

[molten pelican]

its so fun Im not super close to finishing though because I often just do whatever I want lol

[candid tusk]

Attorney really is looking forward to it.

[hasty zinc]

since I hate stealth games I just run into each outpost and fist fight everyone all at once

it gets chaotic

[molten pelican]

kinda like skyrim and fallout are to me, just go do random stuff

[hasty zinc]

do you like the Far Cry series?

[molten pelican]

I get carried away just adventuring around, looks so beautiful

or trying to fight bosses that are levels ahead of me lmao

[molten pelican]

Haven't played any actually, they look really good

[hasty zinc]

oh man

you really should

Far Cry 5 is one of my favorite games of all time

[molten pelican]

which ones do you recommend?

[meager linden]

https://tenor.com/view/vaas-gif-22751248

[molten pelican]

gotcha is that the one with the cult

[hasty zinc]

yes!

[molten pelican]

I think I almost bought that some years back but went with Ghost recon Wildlands (which is a fun one)

[hasty zinc]

3 is also good and usually people will say has the best villain but I disagree and say The Father is a way better villain

[molten pelican]

gotcha

I think they go on sale often il put it in my wishlist

[hasty zinc]

I recently started playing again and I'm hooked all over

the environment and randomness that just happen keep me very entertained

[molten pelican]

sweet, yeah I like those types of games

where you can kinda just mess around but theres still a story to it

Dude I havent played RDR2😅

[hasty zinc]

like yesterday I saw a civilian almost get hit by a cult truck, the truck stopped and the bad guy got out and started shooting him, the civilian was able to shoot back and kill him but then right aftwards the dude was mauled from behind by a bear 😦

I like just standing around watching stuff happen

[molten pelican]

Natural selection brutal

[hasty zinc]

it's wild

[molten pelican]

thats how I feel with fallout 4 some random crap happens or this random battle and im just watching from a distance

[molten pelican]

how long are the playthroughs?

[hasty zinc]

about 20 if you focus on the story missions only

40-50 for all side objectives or whatever

[molten pelican]

gotcha, so at least 95 if you are like me and take 20 hours to just adventure the map

[hasty zinc]

pretty much lol

I dont use the fast travel system

you miss so much stuff if you do

it's also a very pretty game

[molten pelican]

gotchu

[molten pelican]

Is it montana

[hasty zinc]

yep

[molten pelican]

I figured it was either wyoming or montana, beautiful states, except I saw like maybe 20 people the whole time I was there

Thats one of my favorites things about the assassins creed RPG games, they are beautiful

[meager linden]

Ok
See you all tomorrow
Now I am onyx Staff Sergeant 2
For Hero rank left ~1107 matches

[hasty zinc]

very nice!

see you in a few minutes

[molten pelican]

The new Delta Force game looks pretty fun

[hasty zinc]

they're making a new Delta Force game?

[regal palm]

I believe so

[hasty zinc]

interesting

[molten pelican]

Oh idk if its new, its some team jade TiMi studio group game, like a multiplayer extraction game looks fun and its free (which can be a con)

its not out yet, is it a remake?

[hasty zinc]

looks to be a new game

[pliant hatch]

I just think of the novalogic games whenever I hear delta force.

[hasty zinc]

same

the new one is in the same series, just different devs apparently

series isnt' the right word

franchise is probably better

[pliant hatch]

the one that they were 'making' for years was angel falls.

[trim saddle]

i need a delta farce game and its just making fun of every mil shooter and CoD out there.

[sullen orchid]

Fellow CE enjoyer here, i’m slowly starting to appreciate this franchise more and more

[pliant hatch]

have you played the later games or just mcc?

[sullen orchid]

I have to say, the aesthetics, gameplay and sound effects weirdly remind me of Half life if i should give an opinion on them. About gameplay, even on high difficulties like Heroic (As the one i’m playing on) it is fair a lot of the sections. Currently in the middle of Aotcr.

[sullen orchid]

Talking about the MCC this time around. The remaster is good at least from my perspective.

I also tried out 2’s beginning on Normal (The difficulty spike is quite massive between CE and here) and i got both the par time on Cairo station and did it deathless. It was a fun time.

[graceful inlet]

Good night!🫂

[pliant hatch]

for h2, you'll want to use the plasma pistol overcharge on elites. makes it easier to fight them.

[meager linden]

Better using it on legendary or heroic

[fossil skiff]

Go to bed

[meager linden]

Already

[normal owl]

"Whack 10 friends with a wet trout or you will never find true love!"

[pliant hatch]

for any if you want to save ammo and make fighting mobs easier.

[elfin glacier]

i ate number company

[trim saddle]

now you weigh 343lbs?

[elfin glacier]

yep

[hasty zinc]

so you weighed nothing before the meal?

[trim saddle]

they unlocked the secret to instant gains, weight lifters will be in your DMs asking what the secret is.

[halcyon vale]

Would anyone be interested in a HALO LARP?

[obsidian wyvern]

finally got the last multiplayer achievement, sorta. airborne is

[quaint canyon]

I wonder if halo 2 or CE classic can be run on xbox dev mode through emulation.

[signal rivet]

Is that the 5 second warthog achievement

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[bold sparrow]

They got close last year. Let em walk the win this one i say

[bold sparrow]

Granular is next. I feel it in my bones

[signal wedge]

apparently if you bought Halo 4 on steam trough the MCC sale you own MCC not Halo 4 😵‍💫

[severe locust]

but you can only play halo 4 in mcc so..

unless you bought other games for mcc

[rustic breach]

For anyone interested my halo montage competition will likely be accepting entries starting November, a community member decided to cancel the rest of his plans this year which included a montage contest he was hosting, so we'll be allowing entries sooner than planned.

Do you guys like halo montages btw? I know back in the golden days of halo montages were so popular, now the art form is kinda dead, but I'll continue to keep it alive 🙂 as long as I have a roof over my head and an Internet connection I'll keep pushing the art form 🙂

Nothing much getting some tactical slayer in, wbu?

[fickle drift]

What's a Halo montage?

[vocal parrot]

Nothing. Just got a new background for mcc

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[vocal parrot]

It is 8 pm for me

[vernal dune]

what does it look like? love a good background amd yeah man im almost at 10pm lol

[fickle drift]

[vocal parrot]

Oh shoot I just realized I can't upload pics lol. It is a frieza background. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3112643651

lol

[vernal dune]

Oh yeah thats awesome ive been rocking a broken down atte thats in the middle of a lake

[vocal parrot]

Nice!

[rustic breach]

They are halo highlight reels, usually edited to music with syncing and effects used to amplify the experience

[bleak shoal]

A montage in general can be something like a video that's shows clips of best moments of something.

[vocal parrot]

U gotta love a halo montage

Especially a halo 3 montage

[gilded wedge]

💀

how far we fallen

[fickle drift]

Oh, so a montage then xD

[bleak shoal]

Yes

[lapis ivy]

How's everyone

[fickle drift]

for some reason I thought it would be something specific to Halo, I ofc know what a montage is, I have seen the Rocky movies after all 😛

[vocal parrot]

Peachy

[covert dove]

[lapis ivy]

@bleak shoal speaking of forge skybox is the skybox that we already have in the game and not possible for them to add more like skybox backgrounds to maps like void or arid cause the ones I use are getting boring

[meager linden]

Good

[lapis ivy]

👍

[bleak shoal]

Probably not tbh

You'll only be able to change the color, time of day, and environment fx

[somber needle]

Happy 17th anniversary to halo 3

[bleak shoal]

Finish the Fight

[lapis ivy]

Yeah and in halo 5 there used to be map filters like sepia, black and white so you could make it look like you're fighting in a classic war or something

Idk I don't remember it's been a long time since I played halo 5

[noble wyvern]

It interested the most iconic mode from here forge

[fickle drift]

not sure where to ask this but is 343 still doing those developer livestreams

[bleak shoal]

No I think

[fickle drift]

well that stinks

[bleak shoal]

Apparently 343 is working on multiple projects when they can't even make a full content game after 6 years

[candid tusk]

They've got too much work to do to be doing live streams. Trust the process.

[fickle drift]

i will try

i really don't want to sound like a downer but there's a part of me that feels like infinite is over

[steady jolt]

Definitely not over

[fickle drift]

i just don't know

it just feels like it was getting good with everything last year but this year feels like a reality check in some way

[bleak shoal]

Not over, just moving away from it

[steady jolt]

We've had a ton of stuff drop this year

[fickle drift]

i get that, but something just feels wrong

[bleak shoal]

Idk 2 years of a game's lifespan is pretty good amount of time to move on to the next game

[fickle drift]

why did they have to leave out so much before releasing infinite

[bleak shoal]

Because development issues

[steady jolt]

They didn't start working on it immediately after 5 launched

[bleak shoal]

They didn't leave out anything, they didn't make anything to put in the launch

[fickle drift]

just why though, that is my question

[bleak shoal]

Because development was awful

[steady jolt]

Ivy stop

[bleak shoal]

Contracted workers, massive layoffs here and there

[fickle drift]

all the contractor stuff, all the other alleged things, all of it, i don't get it

[steady jolt]

Because majority of the team were working on Halo 5 DLC, with the remainder between MCC and HW2 and other projects

[fickle drift]

i don't know what to really say

[steady jolt]

Contractors, despite what gets paraded around on social media, are not the massively detrimental issue they're made out to be

[bleak shoal]

Don't say anything 👆

[fickle drift]

i don't blame the contractors for the game i think they really tried their best

[bleak shoal]

Probably

Let's just be grateful Halo Infinite is complete ig

[fickle drift]

i just wish 343 would at least say what they can be certain is coming for the game before they are done with it

whether that be a new mode or weapons or vehicles or elites or assassinations or whatever they could have planned

[bleak shoal]

But post launch, they weren't working on anymore halo 5 stuff and still took forever to get content so like if contract workers aren't a big deal, what happened

[steady jolt]

Bugs and other issues that didn't appear until post-launch had a knock on effect that pushed content work back. Took a bit to get back on track again

[fickle drift]

i really do get that part

but why did they cancel the seasons if they were finally starting to get back on track

[bleak shoal]

Probably because not enough people are playing Infinite anymore

[steady jolt]

I'm sure they mentioned the reasons just before the change

[bleak shoal]

Microsoft is still a corporation who wants to make a ton of money so if they want a new game, they get a new game

[steady jolt]

Nothing to do with this

[bleak shoal]

Idk that's probably

[fickle drift]

i feel like they could have done the content update structure with seasons still being present

and season announcements draw more attention than operation announcements so it just feels like they shot themselves in the foot

[bleak shoal]

This is Microsoft, why would they want to keep pouring money into Infinite when they have like 2000 people are playing average

[steady jolt]

Can we stop with the doom posting, it's really getting tiring

[spiral abyss]

What’s good gang

[bleak shoal]

How am I doom posting

There's nothing doom saying about Microsoft just wanting to move on to the next Halo game

[fickle drift]

infinite is a good game in the state it is in with all that has been added, i am not saying it is horrible

there are things that i think could be better, but it is a good game for what it is

i just wish i had a more clear picture of the future ahead

[ocean herald]

most devs/publishers have stopped teasing stuff early tbf. the best we're gonna get is there are "future halo projects being worked on"

[fickle drift]

i had a friend who wanted playable elites in infinite for personal reasons, and he's been waiting for any news of that for over a year now

[steady jolt]

I'd almost be confident saying that's never happening with Infinite

[ocean herald]

it hasn't happened since reach lol, might be time to let that dream go

[fickle drift]

i just wish ske7ch would at least say that and spare of him of waiting for nothing

[steady jolt]

There's always a chance for future games, but I wouldn't look or wait for an update like that for Infinite

[steady jolt]

They've said a few times in the past they had no plans for it

Since before launch even

[bleak shoal]

Id say atleast 3 years average before we see any real next Halo game teaser

[wild sleet]

Yeah the chances of Elites in Infinite is a big 0%

[fickle drift]

i just wish they would finally address it so my friend would stop stressing about it

[steady jolt]

Like I said, they've already mentioned it in the past a few times

[fickle drift]

i get that but i'm just worried about my friend

[bleak shoal]

Just tell us then

[steady jolt]

Don't have twitter any more, so I can't search Brian or John's tweets

[ocean herald]

tell them it'll be ok. give them support in this trying time

[bleak shoal]

Ok

[fickle drift]

i have been and will continue to

[obsidian wyvern]

[fickle drift]

my friend has been depressed can you not

[obsidian wyvern]

343 are so based

[fickle drift]

i am going to ignore you

[viral dune]

[wild sleet]

Why is your friend depressed?

[fickle drift]

close relative passing

[steady jolt]

Just had a look back through all the stuff that launched for Infinite this year, way more than I thought and I've even missed some stuff

[rare cedar]

that was the last time it was spoken about

[steady jolt]

Thanks Panda!

Halo 2 originally and now it's 3

[obsidian wyvern]

do I report breakfast if it isn't really breakfast

[latent anchor]

Nice nice

[hasty zinc]

I'll take that report

[haughty wraith]

The ability to play as elites in general would be great

[latent anchor]

YES

[bleak shoal]

Idk. Disadvantage for Elites in MP

[fickle drift]

give me an hour

[latent anchor]

I WANT TO RUN AROUND AS A ELITE GENERAL SO BAD BRUH

OR A FIELD MARSHALL

[bleak shoal]

Know what? Just be so good 👍

Yeah playable elites 👏

[haughty wraith]

People still played with them in the older games even though they were larger

[bleak shoal]

Yeah true

No one rly cares about winning that bad in the social experience lol

[haughty wraith]

Plus I feel like people would put a lot of money into elite armor instead of recycled halo reach armor

[hasty zinc]

social players deserve fair games, just like ranked players

[amber mirage]

SxLightning or whatever his name was begs to differ

[bleak shoal]

2. Just be so good you beat your bad match ups

[bleak shoal]

Should just play ranked then instead of playing with the casual folks

[wild sleet]

Nah 343 did something right & took away Elite privileges

[haughty wraith]

Wrong but alr

[bleak shoal]

It's not fair when the other team gets a whole scorpion and I get a gungoose 😔

[haughty wraith]

All the mods are elite haters fr

[queen remnant]

Oh it is elite discussion

[hasty zinc]

Just be so good you beat your bad match ups

😏

[bleak shoal]

Yeah true

[queen remnant]

Good thing we didn't get any elite playable for 12 years at this point and it should stay that way

[bleak shoal]

Wait so you agree then lol

[rare cedar]

quick, someone post the 2 elite videos

[amber mirage]

If you can convince him next time he's around, I'll agree with you

[wild sleet]

Exactly

[molten pelican]

Look! an endangered species

[bleak shoal]

Alr

[bleak shoal]

Aight I'm out cya yall

[haughty wraith]

We also haven't had a good complete halo game since halo 4

[hasty zinc]

teamwork makes the dream work

[wild sleet]

A good Elite is a Dead Elite 😉

[fickle drift]

my friend gave me his laptop with it, does that change things

[tawdry iris]

I admit it I’m actually brunch!!! 😭

[molten pelican]

inarguable now

[queen remnant]

Good thing the playable elites are not from that then

[ocean herald]

what's your friends name

[fickle drift]

like his username or real name(i will not say that one)

[wild sleet]

Did he also give you the keys to his house to?

[normal owl]

Just stop lying. It's annoying and unconstructive.

[fickle drift]

why do you think i'm lying

[haughty wraith]

Lwk the banished is worse than the covenant, and could be done much better imo

[molten pelican]

He ran the discord lie detector on you and it all checks out

[haughty wraith]

Real

No debate here. You are, end of story. Move on.

We can smell it

[wild sleet]

Went from borrowing your friends account to gave you the account to be gave you the laptop with it

[tawdry iris]

Also that

[molten pelican]

Honestly I just dont understand wanting to play as the humans enemy lol

[haughty wraith]

It's not even hard to make up a fake story and stick with it either

Because silly split lips are funny to use

[rare cedar]

Just stop as you keep being Scooby-Doo'd from our detectives embeded in the server.

[tawdry iris]

We’ve both been caught lacking

[obsidian wyvern]

id be fine with elites if they were balanced, they are not. you can't make them the same without compromising somewhere

[ocean herald]

i wouldn't be opposed to playlists built specifically for elite v spartan gameplay (i.e Invasion)

[limber hemlock]

[Grenade phases through the neck and doesn't stick]

[haughty wraith]

Invasion would be great tbh

[tawdry iris]

I think it’d be cool if they had different stats in an invasion style mode

[limber hemlock]

Why would Bungie do this?

[obsidian wyvern]

it'd just be better as a balanced mode, but if they had to come back, stick em to one playlist like invasion

[molten pelican]

I never cared about the feature existing or not so I was always curious to why people are so passionate about it lol

[molten pelican]

OH I see

he was on the hot OJ

[obsidian wyvern]

ah yes shooting through the enemy

[molten pelican]

you can see the crosshair turn white even on its neck

[haughty wraith]

Only issues I have with elites are their necks having no hit box

[rare cedar]

why do you think 99% of the players in H3 ranked SWAT were elite players? (I was the 1% - )

[wild sleet]

Elite Swat players 😩

[haughty wraith]

Swat sucked in halo 3

[tawdry iris]

Shame 343 never made some sort of halo 3 style elite customisation for reach mcc

[ocean herald]

so you're saying the community abused a broken system 🤔

[normal owl]

What? Never.

[ocean herald]

i'm starting to come around on the elites. i've been convinced

[obsidian wyvern]

the only hitbox disadvantage I want in my game is this if it had to be customisation and not part of the game 😤

[haughty wraith]

It's almost like people do that frequently in games

[fickle drift]

What's this emoji called 🙂‍↔️

[ocean herald]

nvm i changed my mind

[molten pelican]

Im now tempted to abuse it myself

Thank you, I was deep in fighting game nostalgia.

So many tourneys at friends' houses.

i have a childhood friend that was always better than me at fighting games so it just turned me off from the genre lol

i think i have the newest MK

[normal owl]

Ugh when they don't have the decency to use the match handicap system to make it fair.

[hasty zinc]

I have a really good strate for fighting games

[ocean herald]

they rebooted the story or something

[hasty zinc]

mash all the buttons until it's over

[molten pelican]

How much can you know about yourself, if youve never been in a fight

[wild sleet]

Need another DoA

[amber mirage]

MK1 is still a direct continuation

[amber mirage]

As much as I would like one, I don't see it happening for a while. Series isn't exactly popular.

[obsidian wyvern]

are we saying DoA would be DOA

[ocean herald]

idk why i remember something about it being a new universe

[amber mirage]

It's technically a reboot but also still a direct continuation

[rare cedar]

like Halo Infinite 😮

spiritial reboot

[normal owl]

That was Dad's playstyle on the rare occasions I could persuade him to play with me. He wouldn't even look: just put in his time until the game was done lol.

[amber mirage]

MK1 doesn't do the spiritual stuff though

MK11's trailer was one of the best ever in video game history.

this is kinda funny to read after everything before

In an alternate universe playable Elites reign supreme. Really wish I could visit it.

[lavish hamlet]

I have a question, when trying to matchmake it says that "User Input/Platform Restrictions" is set to "Yes" when I don't have any of those settings enabled. Is that a bug or is it supposed to be like that?

Hater.

[steady jolt]

Is this a fan project?

[ocean herald]

yeah i think it's fanfic stuff

[pastel vault]

Crazy lore theory: Norse mythology in the halo universe is based off of fragments of forerunner artifacts and history

Forerunner glyphs look like runes, and Ragnarok being a final battle where the gods battle their enemies causing almost everyone in the world to die is... pretty on the nose obviously

Maybe I'm crazy but I think it's pretty clear

[candid tusk]

As clear as Humans being Forerunner, I agree.

[pastel vault]

Also there are some character parallels arguably, mendicant bias is a pretty clear link to Loki

Or Faber, arguably

[candid tusk]

Or... It could be that character archetypes are universal. Even through time.

[pastel vault]

Well yeah but that's boring

Yeah obviously in the real world that's true but I'm talking about the internal mechanics of a fictional universe

The Giants being created first and Odin (the forerunners) killing Ymir (the precursors) pretty well lines up

Well not just Odin but you get my point

[fickle drift]

I mean there's plenty of Greek references as well, Spartans, Tartarus, etc.
The Prometheans...

[pastel vault]

Well ofc but I'm talking about in universe

[normal owl]

#lore-and-universe is where you'd want to discuss this @pastel vault People there would enjoy diving into this in that channel.

[fickle drift]

Then you have the blatant references to Christianity, with the Flood, the Ark, etc.

[pastel vault]

It is interesting how the brutes seem to have latin names though

[pastel vault]

Thanks :3

Anyways please update the exchange more than once an operation thanks

[candid solar]

UUuuuuuggh

I hate writer's block.

I'm trying to write this full Halo fanbook thing, and the prologue is kicking my tailfeathers.

[latent sequoia]

write something else to get going or even just create something else entirely

[candid solar]

It's kind of an evergreen problem lately I'm afraid.

[latent sequoia]

when I get design block (which is super rare now) I find it nice to design something else

I design car stuff so to get off it I design other things like logos or a chair or sumn

[candid solar]

That's... Fair.

[limpid ferry]

I feel 343 is running out of fresh original ideas, I mean with modes as lame as the one they dropped yesterday, how do they actually expect to carry Halo Infinite for another year?

[candid solar]

Oh my god right it's so over such a dead franchise wow so dead holy cow complaining will never get boring wow so bad

[obsidian wyvern]

complaining so you hopefully won't have to complain in the future sounds fair

[candid solar]

Anyways, I dunno. It's frustrating because I have this whooooole idea of what I want to write in my head, but not the actual cognitive drive to fulfil it.

[split kestrel]

Does anyone get so bored where you just play H2 legendary?

[candid solar]

Like, I want to, but the frustration feeds into itself like a feedback loop when I can't actually write in a way I want.

[obsidian wyvern]

other way round because I keep dying

[candid solar]

Like, the storyboard's sound, the concept's sound, the intro is sound, the prologue is flowing in my head, but actually writing it is just... Hmn.

[limpid ferry]

You’d think we’d have something like double XP weekends or something by now.

[elfin glacier]

oh yeah?

i have nose block

[candid solar]

I will destroy you

[elfin glacier]

no you won't

the congestion will finish me off first

[candid solar]

I will bury you in blahaj's

[elfin glacier]

I'm buried in pain already

[candid solar]

Did you know they actually made a transgender pride Blahaj in Canada in 2022

[latent sequoia]

ikea is such an ally

[limpid ferry]

Halo Infinite is by no means a dead game just stuck in a rut, with little to no means of getting itself out of it.

[valid portal]

what

[candid solar]

yeh

[elfin glacier]

nice

i need bi pride stuff i just like the colors

[latent sequoia]

what are you even on about lmao

[elfin glacier]

well maybe not just

[candid solar]

I'm still holding out hope that Halo gives us a simple pride flag emblem

[elfin glacier]

i wamnt bi pride coating

[candid solar]

I wanna rock just a standard trans pride flag on all my armor and such

[elfin glacier]

number plz

[limpid ferry]

They butchered the pride armor coating

[candid solar]

I like it

[valid portal]

but why do we need it when the cat ears can come back instead

[latent sequoia]

bi lighting energy sword could be pretty swag

[candid solar]

Because it'd be cool

Bro don't turn this into some crap about the shop, pride month cosmetics are free

[elfin glacier]

pride armor coating is dope

[elfin glacier]

$590863148004 for flag

[latent sequoia]

I felt it was a bit rushed together

[candid solar]

It's too extra to be rushed IMO

[latent sequoia]

just missing like the key red line through it. just mashed together

[candid solar]

But then I absolutely love stuff like CoD's pride cosmetics too

[latent sequoia]

making the pattern it has is super simple and then just assign to armor pieces

[candid solar]

Where you can shoot people with trans bullets

[latent sequoia]

material is probably recycled

[limpid ferry]

Yeh the pride armor coating looks like the flag bomb design Microsoft released for the Xbox Controller not very good in my opinion.

[candid solar]

I loved that design though.

[pulsar heron]

i'd like more pink/red and blue coloured stuff in general (ie not inherently pride), but i'm also too much a fan of my nail polish armour

[candid solar]

Only thing I really didn't like about LGBT pride month's cosmetics is the texture choice for the visor, it's too... dark and glossy.

[latent sequoia]

cant even recall it. mustve not been very good

[candid solar]

It had a similar 'splinter pride' color and pattern set, but it was weirdly dark.

If it had been emissive like Legendary it would've looked better.

[elfin glacier]

i also love the unity emblem

very tasteful

[latent sequoia]

wish they deployed the chameleon effect like on the visors that they had in 4. massively missed opportunity really

[valid portal]

Purple and red looks better tbh

[candid solar]

I mean the game should be able to

[limpid ferry]

The Pride armor coating barely has a hint of Trans Pride showing, if you look at the left wrist you can barely see it.

[candid solar]

Yee, needs more tho.

[latent sequoia]

oh yes its a very simple effect to create. its a normal based colour gradient that changes colour depending on view angle of the surface. any rendering engine and game engine can do this

[candid solar]

Like I hate comparing between games, but

I'd love for this level of rep

Artsy above and beyond is cool and all, but some people also really like simple and stoic.

[latent sequoia]

those cards took real thought and its clear

[limpid ferry]

It’s literally the same for the Pride themed Xbox Controller it’s almost as if Microsoft and 343 don’t care too much about Trans as it’s barely noticeable on either the Pride Controller itself or the Pride Armor Coating released by 343.

[candid solar]

Transgender people generally don't get a lot of attention outside of certain corners, so I kinda get it. It being there at all is neat and a surprise.

[limpid ferry]

I wanted to love the Pride armor coating but I can’t if all it has to show for my Pride identity is a few colored lines on the left wrist.

[pulsar heron]

oh this is awesome actually

it would be nice to have pride cosmetics for more than just the concept of pride

[limpid ferry]

Imagine a Pride weapon coating set complete with Pride weapon charms.

[candid solar]

I'm imagining a Transphobe almost picking up my AR and refusing to use it, and that thought tickles me.

[candid solar]

Right? Like, I don't compliment Overwatch much, but they knocked rep out of the water just by being super simple about it. I'd love to mouthpiece this desire more, because as much as I love the cutesie grunt and stuff, what I want is options and plain rep, not artsy stuff.

[elfin glacier]

iridescence? more of a beetle thing

[limpid ferry]

I’d rather be able to set my Spartans name plate and emblem as Trans cause that’s my identity and my spartan should be able to reflect that in game.

[latent sequoia]

In automotive paint the effect is chameleon but yes technically beetle shells are more akin to it

[limpid ferry]

I mean cod, Overwatch, and Battlefield have all done Pride better as they have allowed players to select the flag they identify with as like their weapon skins, or their player card.

[elfin glacier]

not saying you're wrong but I've personally never heard that, usually just iridescent. maybe it's a regional thing

[latent sequoia]

Or chromflair or oil slick. Many names for that effect

But it even has real world counters like we got sunglasses with this effect so it makes sense to have them on the visors

If they released one now it would sell no doubt

[steady jolt]

This one? I have it and it's pretty awesome. Blog post goes in depth about how they designed it.
https://news.microsoft.com/source/features/diversity-inclusion/a-multi-year-collective-effort-leads-to-the-xbox-pride-controller-customizable-and-available-anytime/

[wraith topaz]

no

i prefer my artic camo controller.

[candid solar]

Okay

[steady jolt]

Ok

[limpid ferry]

I wish they allowed something like this for the elite controller in design lab

[candid solar]

I always forget that's a thing

[limpid ferry]

[obsidian wyvern]

halfway is like 3 ranks into onyx so have fun

[candid solar]

This is truly a Halo 5 moment

[faint mantle]

Have you considered making all your food on a Sunday

[candid solar]

(Halo 5 was worse)

[limpid ferry]

At the rate I’m going I probably won’t be able to join the Hero club till either February or March of next year

[candid solar]

I have, but I'd forget to eat it.

[granite sky]

im never gonna make it i cant grind like that

[candid solar]

Like you'd think ADHD meds would be what makes me remember I need to eat, but my impulse control issue involved just eating whenever I mildly felt like it or was bored

[latent sequoia]

I have the exact same

[latent sequoia]

Its just the effect of the drug it takes out your need for food

[candid solar]

I am on a nonstimulant, which makes it a bit odd

[latent sequoia]

Ooh yeah thats weird

[granite sky]

its funny BP meds are the opposite they make u eat or just gain weight in general. i undereat

[candid solar]

Strattera has similar side effects to Adderall and Ritalin, tbf, it just kinda doesn't do it via stimulants

[latent sequoia]

You eat it every day for the effect to work right?

[limpid ferry]

I only eat till I’m full which is like 2 small meals a day usually consisting of Lunch dinner and snacks

[candid solar]

It does it by increasing a specific chemical in your brain that basically does the same job very specifically

[granite sky]

is it only for first couple months then back to normalish?

[candid solar]

one pill a day yeah

[latent sequoia]

Yeah my therapist said we will try it if the stims dont do it for me

Which so far have only taken out my need for food

[candid solar]

For me that's the biggest thing this has done thus far.

Which, tbf, is freaking great, I struggled with impulse control for food for years.

[granite sky]

oatmeal and apples r pretty good foods

[candid solar]

Like, it was hard for me to turn down an opportunity to eat pizza or something

[latent sequoia]

I empty the cubbards in the evening but the drug barely helps with that

Ive noticed gym balancing my need for food and my intake of it enough to not make me eat during the evening

Like it makes me eat enough during the day. But on those days Im not on stims either (the heart)

[latent sequoia]

But yea honestly sounds like a good trade off, maybe find a way to remind yourself about eating. Are you able to eat even if you dont have the appetite? I know for me its difficult to

[candid solar]

Iffy. Sometimes it doesn't bother me, sometimes it actively disgusts me.

It usually takes about 6-8 hours of not eating to realize I haven't ate anything

I mean as I said though, I'm not actually upset about this as a side effect, if anything it's kind of a feature. I can just have a soylent and not worry about it for hours.

[latent sequoia]

Thats crazy

[forest lagoon]

Always been curious how those work in comparison but I'm now thinking I might have narcolepsy and the stims treating the ADHD have been helping treat the possible narcolepsy without even realizing it

[latent sequoia]

Just hopefully you get enough calories in

[candid solar]

I don't really have a benchmark to compare unfortunately.

[pulsar cobalt]

@normal owl Sorry for the ping but i just wanted to let you know

[candid solar]

I was actually trying to get on adderall but the clinic I went through can't give me them.

[granite sky]

i dont mind delaying game releases its pretty much always a benefit right? idk

[candid solar]

I mean I'm partially fine with that, mind, because... I wanted to kinda go with something less harsh anyways. I feel like mixing adderall and Femme HRT might cause something weird if I just started them both at the same time, no fear.

[fossil skiff]

I’ll take a late developed game over a rushed half-cooked game

[normal owl]

I honestly appreciate that you thought of me for this. It's a huge bummer, but at least one side effect will be their increased efforts at updating Star Wars Outlaws, which I'm currently enjoying a lot.

"Ubisoft said ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ would be released around mid-February, nearly toward the end of the company’s fiscal year, as it bids for time for developers to further polish the game. The group made the decision after sales of its recently launched “Star Wars Outlaws” game disappointed, prompting it to mobilize its teams to update the title in hopes it will attract a larger audience during the holiday season." --WSJ

[forest lagoon]

For me though the stims shutdown my appetite fairly well, but the effect isn't as strong as it used to be when I first started. So the longer you are on it, the less it shuts that down.
But also without them you will look for dopamine again like you did before and if that's through food then that's through food lol

[granite sky]

yeh!!

[latent sequoia]

The stims do have an effect that keeps you awake. Like if you took em before going to sleep youd not be able to most likely. So taking a stim in the morning will most likely regulate that for you. Like birth control regulates cycles

[normal owl]

Same, especially for such a tentpole series like Assassin's Creed.

[forest lagoon]

That's an absolutely wild comparison

[latent sequoia]

And as per usual what it comes to womens biology that probably hasnt been looked into at all

[latent sequoia]

Only thing that came to mind 😭

[normal owl]

And sorry for the confusion across all our ping/no-ping preferences. For me, pings are no problem and I put the bell on my server name as an attempt to communicate that. But your effort to respect communication preferences is sincerely very appreciated, thank you!

[candid solar]

I mean, tbf, I doubt what I'm on is any better, lmao.

[forest lagoon]

Though I do wish there was a nighttime dose because once it wears off at the end of the day, if I don't go to sleep within a certain timeframe, then I'm gonna be up all night and have a harder time sleeping

[candid solar]

It was nice to have that major mood boost when I started HRT as well, actually. Even if wrestling my military stuff is a trial.

Guess you don't really know what's bothering you til you get something that soothes it, sometimes.

[latent sequoia]

Proper sleeping habits and melatonin helped me with this

Theres like a 1-2 hour window before going to sleep that you should keep consistent

[forest lagoon]

Melatonin can help me reset my sleep cycle if I've gone off track for a bit but if I take it for too many nights in a row I end up feeling trapped in my dreams and have a harder time getting deep sleep

[molten pelican]

the real cure no one is talking about is mac and cheese

[normal owl]

You know what's a great tip to reliably fall asleep? Be on the couch and tell yourself you won't fall asleep and you'll get up and get ready for bed. Boom, it's 4:30a and you wake up on the couch. Works flawlessly.

[hasty zinc]

I just watch ODST gameplay if I want to fall asleep

[normal owl]

ODSZzzzzz

Honestly, putting on Minecraft works pretty well (if I'm in a safe place without monsters reaching me to kill)

[normal owl]

can perfectly hear that sound in my head

[fickle drift]

Do you prefer New Worlds to Uncharted Worlds Aegis

[latent sequoia]

I have had an incredibly bad habit for a decade now where I’ll watch something from my ipad in bed. I can fall asleep in half an hour sometimes doing this. Problem is, the ipad tells my brain to shut it down, no matter what time of the day it is. So if I go watch something mid day, I’ll just fall asleep

[hasty zinc]

I don't think I've heard uncharted worlds

what was the one in 3

[forest lagoon]

I've tried the Minecraft sleep sounds but it's hit or miss. It's like I need to feel as if I'm neglecting something to make me fall asleep

[fickle drift]

I think it was Uncharted Worlds actually, it doesn't have the Illusive Man melody underscoring it

[normal owl]

the piano when you're evacuating Earth and the little boy gets in that shuttle...

😭

[hasty zinc]

uncharted worlds seems to have some andromeda mixed in

oh I'm listening to the reimagined version

[fickle drift]

Leaving Earth is such a perfect opener for that game, I wish Clint Mansell got to do more tracks for ME3

[normal owl]

still a mainstay on my get-work-done Spotify playlist

[sullen orchid]

i hate when elites just jump up and ride atop of me

Really hate it when that happens

[tight remnant]

imagine if linkin park had a collab with halo for any of the upcoming anniversaries or wc

[hasty zinc]

omg

[amber mirage]

ME3 had a perfect soundtrack. Everything fit so cleanly and managed to be engaging to listen to

[sullen orchid]

trust me, that just happened to me while playing halo 2’s campaign casually

[torpid lintel]

Where are playable elites?

[worthy ginkgo]

Happy Birthday Halo 3 !

[obsidian wyvern]

what is with these people today

[hasty zinc]

did mint put out a video or something?

[obsidian wyvern]

oh wait. there was something new about someone who worked on infinite having a lot of their stuff cut from the game, but their favourite thing to work on was the elite ultra

I'm guessing that started all this

[molten pelican]

Got to thinking that the ancient "92 is half of 99" meme is applicable to halo in some fashion

[granite sky]

it is rlly cool armor! i wish they didnt always use camo

[pastel vault]

Random question: is anyone aware of what happened in development to cause halo 4s BR sound to sound like one of those "808s screaming in pain" TikTok sounds

[granite sky]

its awful isnt it I cant stand the noise

[candid tusk]

Just about all of Halo 4's sound design drives me bananas. Why does the warthog sound like a fan scraping along the side wall?

[fossil skiff]

Someone sat down and thought, “if this thing is gonna mow down ex-covenant scum we might as well make it sound like a lawnmower”

BR sounds like a field of crickets imo

[graceful inlet]

Good night!🫂 And I'm sorry that I'm not that active I just don't know what to talk about 😅.

[normal owl]

If I win the lottery, we're all going to Worlds.
All I need to do now is start playing the lottery.

[tight remnant]

Yay!

[fossil skiff]

Excellent, let’s coordinate numbers.

[fossil skiff]

Do you play btb?

[bleak shoal]

Yes why

[fossil skiff]

Do you prefer to play with your team or charge alone into enemy territory?

[bleak shoal]

Play with my team

Unless I have some sort of power weapon or vehicle, im gonna die if I charge in alone

[light flame]

i just downloaded the collection

so worth

[steady jolt]

[light flame]

[flat coyote]

Is there a better place to find multiplayer groups than here?

Would enjoy playing with some people with mics but not having any luck finding anyone and in like 25 solo joins I’ve yet to find someone else with a mic

[granite sky]

im not sure but sometimes people ask for groups in lfg channels here, maybe those people can lead u to a group or discord they have running

[lapis ivy]

Same got the whole collection on steam you mean MCC?

[rare cedar]

I ain’t got the data to do that lmao CC @normal owl

[lapis ivy]

Hi How's it going panda?

[faint mantle]

Buy a mobile chip from Telcel, they have this package that lets you have 2 hours of unlimited data for less than a dollar. When I went to Seattle last year it worked like a charm

[rare cedar]

Meowdy

[rare cedar]

I’m just kidding, but I don’t plan on streaming my entire trip cause nobody is gunna watch just like when I stream my hcs-caliber gameplay

[hasty zinc]

6 locked in

[lapis ivy]

I always thought that telcel was the mobile company that had the phones that made the clicking and shutter sounds right?

[hardy plover]

Hi

[empty salmon]

I bought myself "Mountain Tiger" armor coating and it gives me spooky vibes lol

I forgot to turn my spooky season vibe on lol

[steady wagon]

Im replaying all halo 3 missions on halo 3 (xbox 360)

I'm doing this celebration right

Happy 17th birthday h3

[empty salmon]

MP on H3 is overrated

Imo

[steady wagon]

True

[empty salmon]

Like the powerups

I hated them

[rare cedar]

Greatest complete packaged game ever is 17 years old 🥹

[empty salmon]

But H3 campaign was a masterpiece

[bleak shoal]

Whats so bad about the powerups?

[vocal parrot]

Whaddup whaddup

[graceful sphinx]

Tbh, halo 3 mp is probably one of my faves.
I find it so hectic and fun. There's always stuff flying around, or exploding. It's just chaotic. It's never a dull match

Especially now that I don't really play competitively anymore, I find that it's just so much fun.
So simple, yet it's so immersive.

Actually tbh, that's how I find all the original Halo multiplayer to be like (CE - Reach). So hectic, yet so fun lol. Keeps you hooked

[dusk girder]

pls low elos queue ranked 😭

[pale rune]

Halo CE really is the goat of the franchise. I'm having a hell of a time even playing on normal difficulty. The action never gets old feels really intense at times and stuff gets real after you get to the flood. I can only imagine what playing in legendary feels like. Lol

[dusk girder]

i've tried, and it's called hell

[pale rune]

Also screw you guys for deleting messages with swear words. I had to retype that

[dusk girder]

actually give up on first flood level during CE remake, playing on Legendary, literally impossible

[pale rune]

Damn. I am going to have to try it once I finish the campaign

[dusk girder]

pls, don't, for your own sake 😂

[pale rune]

Is it the damage or the enemy spawn count😂

[signal wedge]

hey server owners pls add a UNSC infinity sticker

[dusk girder]

the difficult and lore in Halo's campaign hits different from any other FPS, truly unique and amazing

[dusk girder]

the enemy count just really raises in Halo Infinite, in CE they are waaaay outrageous damage

[bleak shoal]

Here's a tip and it makes the legendary run so much more easier. Treat every encounter more tactically

[pale rune]

Also I don't mind I already lose my sanity playing another game daily.😂

[bleak shoal]

Expirement with the sandbox

[pale rune]

You can guess what that is

[pale rune]

I see.

[cedar turret]

that syntax is painful

[bleak shoal]

Also dealing with encounters as fast possible is key. Enemies start their bursts of fire slowly but it quickly escalates into short rapid bursts of fire

[lapis ivy]

Painful is my high school Days 😂

[bleak shoal]

The 1st quarter is always the worst

Though senior year is depressing. It's the last year you'll probably see a majority of your friends and everyone ends up going somewhere. Out of state, country, etc

[lapis ivy]

Gladly I graduated and now I'm bored at home playing halo infinite forge and nothing else to do

[bleak shoal]

Do not miss the high-school reunion

[dusk girder]

try souls like them (or try halo in souls-like mode like legendary without ammo)

[pale rune]

Have you completed it in legendary? Also based take in bio pb and j really is peak especially uncrustables.

[bleak shoal]

Thank you and yes I have completed Halo CE on legendary

The legendary run is probably easy for me because I've been playing the game for years

So enemy weaknesses are very apparent

[pale rune]

Da freak? No ammo? That sounds like a nightmare.

[bleak shoal]

Yes

It is

[pale rune]

Have you noticed in your runs that certain enemies have specific counters?

[bleak shoal]

Wdym, like the introduction of those enemes?

[pale rune]

Like for instance use a certain weapon on enemies or does it not matter much

[bleak shoal]

Oh yeah definitely

It makes Halo much more dynamic and interesting in its playthrough because it makes you consider what weapons to drop and keep

It's the 30 second rule basically

[pale rune]

I actually got tipped by one of my buddies on how to one shot hunters using a magnum. Also covenant weapons seem to always have an edge over unsc weapons for instance the needler and the (other gun that holds a charge)plows through most enemies

Though the shotgun is very good in the later stages

[bleak shoal]

Yeah their ability to quickly take down shields and stun enemies gets rly overpowered

The AR in my playthrough only had 2 niche uses for my legendary run. Easily taking down a group of grunts and infection forms

[winter flame]

i think its kinda perfectly done, maybe a few weapons are too OP and the AR too weak, but in general you have to use your tools wisely

[dusk girder]

you probablyt will run out of ammo 90% of time coz enemies are so tanky and too mobbed

[bleak shoal]

Facts

[bleak shoal]

Elites and grunts always having plasma rifles and pistols 👀

You will be loaded with these two weapons

(Majority of the time anyway)

[dusk girder]

and they know how to evade your grenades it's insane IA

[pale rune]

Did you upload it to YouTube by any chance?

[bleak shoal]

Nope

[pale rune]

Sadge

[bleak shoal]

I don't even have a YT channel anyway

But If I did, I would like to make it a tennis or art channel

[pale rune]

Maybe I should hop in vc sometime so you can walk me through legendary

[lapis ivy]

Speaking of AI I've been wanting more AI in forge but not everything was included like sentinels and grunt mules I guess that's how the cookie crumbles

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bleak shoal]

A good strat is to throw a plasma grenade on a unalerted grunt, most of the time they end up walking to their own squad for help leading to a giant explosion

[bleak shoal]

The mule is actually in forge

[steady wagon]

Good luck on the library 👌

[lapis ivy]

You can say smart AI rather than insane AI

[bleak shoal]

Oh the library 😔

[lapis ivy]

In the form of briglard

[steady wagon]

I've completed it on legendary

[forest lagoon]

It's not as silent as it's claim

[bleak shoal]

Key tip do not stay on the defensive, push on forward and the mission gets so much easier

[bleak shoal]

I thought that was the cartographer

[steady wagon]

I prefer loud as hell cartographer lol

[forest lagoon]

Libraries are supposed to be silent in general

[bleak shoal]

My bad 😔

[forest lagoon]

How is the chief supposed to study for his exam with all that rukus?

This is why he isn't Forklift certified

[steady wagon]

Rename the mission silent library

Lol lmao

Out of every HCE level. I have ptsd in Two Betrayals

Like actually

[bleak shoal]

The 1st encounter got me so bad

No cover as you get rained down upon by sentinels

Atleast your given the pp because plasma weapons in general have always been good against the sentinels

[steady wagon]

Because HCE you rely on health packs so what happened with me. I went all the way back to just to find health packs.

[light flame]

ye

[bleak shoal]

And those moments when you have to lose your shields and end up getting attacked a few seconds later

[light flame]

i dont like to play competetive cause im not really into that anymore but ill do ctf or slayer if your down for some online play

[steady wagon]

And GOD DAMN ROCKET FLOOD OMFG!!!!!!

[bleak shoal]

Atleast most of time, they're on the other side of a map. Two Betrayals though will literally throw a rocket launcher flood IN A SMALL TIGHT CORRIDER

[steady wagon]

Whoever invented rocket flood. I want to sit down and have a long chat with that person

The person in bungie

[bleak shoal]

Tbh, they're so easy to balance just by accommodating the level design for them

Here's my key points. Only put them in open large areas in a place that you can easily identify them so you can easily see the rocket that's hurdling toward you

[lapis ivy]

If there were to be flood AI in the next game I would spawn them in forge and give them rockets viola u got rocket flood that's if they add AI to forge 🤔

[bleak shoal]

343 should do that for the forge

That would be so cool

[pale rune]

I swear to gawd those things

[lapis ivy]

👍

[steady wagon]

Hey 343 give me back my Covenant Carbine

[bleak shoal]

Why do we want back the BR copy

[steady wagon]

Oh how I missed her 😭😭😭

[bleak shoal]

Actually I can't lie, that gun is rly iconic

[steady wagon]

Or the most iconic the damn plasma rifle. No sight of that gun in Infinite

[bleak shoal]

With the current roster of guns and the two signature shield strippers, the Pulse Carbine and the PP, where do you even fit the gun in terms of function and role

The Pulse Carbine serves as a effective long range shield stripper while the PP serves a rush down CQC tool

[steady wagon]

Or I do you one better. The Beam Rifle

😭😭😭😭

[bleak shoal]

Literally just the sniper but it's plasma

There's no difference in function and role between the Carbine, Br and the sniper, beam rifle

[steady wagon]

Ik..... 😦
