general-chat

[jagged slate]

there was a halo 2 beam rifle variant that did the same thing, such a fun gun to use

[normal owl]

Yes indeed. Always hilarious. And an underrated breach weapon when assaulting a base.

[jagged slate]

facts, that and loading up with a speed boost and prophets bane

[normal owl]

PvP kills with Endgame

[jagged slate]

infinite camo

[normal owl]

yes indeed! Predator mode

https://tenor.com/view/roar-rawr-predator-gif-11210937136773139413

[acoustic viper]

It was a broken sandbox… but everything was broken, so it felt fair.

[jagged slate]

couldnt be more accurate lol

[normal owl]

It was fun because you were rewarded for mastering a quirky weapon, and then had to compensate for its shortcomings.

[glossy drift]

Warzone in halo 5 is 🔥

[jagged slate]

exactly, i think thats where infinite lacks quite a bit, everything is super balanced for competitive and not so much for casual fun

[jagged slate]

than again halo 5's sandbox was insanely large, i have no clue how they put out that much content so quickly

[normal owl]

It also added a nice gamble to calling in Reqs: something that would be perfect for one situation would be very unfavorable for another.

[jagged slate]

facts, man i wish the mantis was in infinite, hope it comes back in the next game

[normal owl]

I think it's too beloved to be left out for long.

[jagged slate]

anyone remember the custom game in a maze where you had to run from it? that mode was insanely fun

never going to forget those nights

[normal owl]

So true. Many utterly wild H5 custom game nights

[jagged slate]

maybe one day there will be a 5 port, potentially in the middle of whatever period of time until the next game just to have something

or it just wont happen, which would be quite unfortunate

[normal owl]

I join you on this hopium train in the clouds.

[jagged slate]

hopium is a must when it comes to being a halo fan

[normal owl]

I wish some famous person would discover Halo 5 Warzone and blast it out on their socials, and the population would come flooding back.

[jagged slate]

same, i think it was honestly super underrated

[acoustic viper]

I just want more stuff in Infinite, tbh. It has a great foundation. But it’s basically been killed in its crib.

[graceful inlet]

Hi, So.... I'm Now completing those community drop. And in a hour i'll leave PC on again. And i'll complete the final 3h. And 35 minutes of the main drops.😊

[normal owl]

Agreed. In my personal completely subjective opinion, I feel like if the mode came out now in its H5 form, it would've made a huge splash.

[jagged slate]

If infinite launched content complete and in a good state it would have taken over, battlefield 2042 and cod vanguard were both horrible

[acoustic viper]

We’d need a lot more sandbox items, but I agree.

[normal owl]

Definitely true.

[jagged slate]

thats my main issue with infinite, the sandbox is amazing but lacking

[acoustic viper]

Like, if we had the brute shotgun, the MA5K, vehicle variants, etc.

[jagged slate]

even just the classic shotgun, i really dont understand why they changed it

[acoustic viper]

I like the Bulldog, myself.

[jagged slate]

kinda throws the entire flow of infection off

[normal owl]

Vehicle variants were so much fun!

[normal owl]

I guess you could say the old shotgun went out in a blaze of glory.

[acoustic viper]

Not necessarily the aesthetic of it, it’s a bit too bulky, but the feel isn’t bad.

[jagged slate]

i think its good AND bad, i see both sides, its cool in concept but i think the original should still exist

[jagged slate]

i miss vaporizing people with that monster

[normal owl]

Active Camo + Blaze of Glory = everyone's nightmare for 60 seconds.

[jagged slate]

yeah that i can agree with, other than i remember a bug either in the flight or at launch where it would jam and not shoot lmfao

[jagged slate]

man the design of that weapon too, it looked so good

[normal owl]

YES

[jagged slate]

or the Halo 2 BR, ill never forget when i got that, legit just a laser beam

no bloom at all

[normal owl]

Good things came to those who waited...and waited...and waited through so many Req packs lol

[tight remnant]

weapons, vehicles yeeah

[jagged slate]

took a very long time getting the certifications for everything

i remember when i got the phaeton helios, that vehicle was unstoppable

[tight remnant]

I dont like the weapon update in halo 5 though

didn't take me a while personally

[jagged slate]

you mean the REQ system? or the visuals

[normal owl]

the Flying Peekaboo of Death, loved that thing

[jagged slate]

that thing could just teleport everywhere lol

[tight remnant]

No, the sandbox change which made the battle rifle not great, storm rifle less nice, fuel rod more clunky, etc

[jagged slate]

i gotchu, the base br did kinda suck

[tight remnant]

Pre-nerf it was nice

After, it didn't feel good to use

[jagged slate]

storm rifle was actually useless, id rather have a stick and a rock

[tight remnant]

Storm rifle was very good at launch

Great fun weapon, close range

[normal owl]

You know what I felt was underrated: Carbine at Req lvl 2. If you could get Req lvl 2 inside home base at first, then it was an unequaled overwatch gun while your teammates tried to cap a center base. Couldn't be matched by base BR.

[jagged slate]

ig the nerf killed it then

[jagged slate]

you mean the full auto one?

[tight remnant]

Carbine in early warzone was very very powerful

[jagged slate]

the blood of suban was also insane, super combining with a carbine felt so nice

[normal owl]

the semi-auto purple Covenant gun.

[normal owl]

It was such a good flanking weapon when the enemy was filing into the center base with their pistols and ARs.

[tight remnant]

Rain of Oblivion

[jagged slate]

the 2nd variant of it had full auto so you could just hold the trigger down lmfao, thing was crazy

nornfang was insane too, loved that sniper

[tight remnant]

I also prefer the halo 5 wasp over halo infinite wasp

[normal owl]

Nornfang: the beautiful treat at the end of a match. Like dessert after the in-match Req grind.

[tight remnant]

Halo 5 wasp is more of a, its not strong but it has shield so you can survive if you plat it well

halo infinite is more, tank the damage then die

[jagged slate]

that thing was death incarnate, guaranteed kill if you could land the shot

[normal owl]

Yeah H5 wasp rewarded good ambush tactics.

[normal owl]

Grazed the enemy's toe? Kill.

[tight remnant]

Also airburst

[jagged slate]

couldnt be a more accurate description

[tight remnant]

Nornfang so fun

[hasty zinc]

almost there!

[tight remnant]

Interesting talking about this while the sandbox thin goes on

[normal owl]

That is gorgeous wow

[normal owl]

Dang I'm behind a little

[jagged slate]

honestly a pretty good book

[meager linden]

I have 69% on both 8 hours drop, and 55% on both 10 hours drop

[jagged slate]

wouldve been sick if we went back to reach for the first time in a game tho

[normal owl]

I can perfectly hear this sound in my head from seeing this image:

[jagged slate]

https://tenor.com/view/worried-scared-oh-no-stop-it-fearful-gif-12534009

[normal owl]

Really enjoyed the around-the-corner kills with it.

[meager linden]

See you all tomorrow
Oh and also it's raining outside, fresh air is waiting for me for tomorrow morning

[normal owl]

Good to see you today. Rest well and we'll see you tomorrow!

[jagged slate]

you remember the SPNKR Prime?

[lapis ivy]

Autumn is finally coming

[jagged slate]

bout time

[lapis ivy]

And winter ahh

[normal owl]

A beautiful death delivery system

[lapis ivy]

Was that the spnkr in halo 5?

[normal owl]

one of the Warzone variants: Ad Victoriam, where you could steer the rocket as long as you're zoomed in. Was great for launching the rocket at a corner then whipping your aim in that direction to steer the rocket around the corner to blast whoever was there.

[lapis ivy]

I have this idea of creating the map Alcatraz and it will be either for ff koth or try to make a warzone or something

Tbh warzone was the craziest best mode in the game

[normal owl]

You are darn right about that!

[lapis ivy]

🍻

[graceful inlet]

Nice. Like i was Saying here, i'm completing those community drops Now.😅 Then i'll continue in the main drops. I have 65%

[obsidian wyvern]

the halo Helldivers announcement is at the end of this hour for anyone interested

[jagged slate]

huh? like a crossover?

[obsidian wyvern]

nah some forgers have made their own version for infinite, it's gonna get its own matchmaking playlist by the looks of it - with them being allowed to announce it at worlds in front of everyone

[graceful inlet]

Okay So... The Community drops Are done... Now the main ones . Good Night 😊🫂

[obsidian wyvern]

did u get the other channel drops

[jagged slate]

ah i gotcha

[dry lintel]

[obsidian wyvern]

[obsidian wyvern]

he was playing the music between events on the community stage

[graceful inlet]

Can i ask you something 😅 i see you're 3d artist... You're like... Making spartan pictures for people on request or...🤔😅 I dont know if i can ask you here or in DM. I Didnt want to annoy you for just a stupid question in DMs.

[glad aspen]

yeah dm me so we dont spam here

[graceful inlet]

Okay.😊

[hybrid narwhal]

I miss SWAT in infinite 🥲 both ranked and casual, ranked snipers is fiiine but like its not swat 😂

[glad aspen]

[obsidian wyvern]

let's gooo

it was a sign 😤

[glad aspen]

there was a spoiler in the events tab lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

oh lol I missed that

[glad aspen]

much better

[topaz gazelle]

am i the only 1 who thinked that space marine 2 kinda look like gears of war?

[verbal epoch]

Yo guys I'm trying to install infinite on my laptop but having issues
I have DirectX12 but it's saying I don't, and I have 4GB+ of VRAM but it's saying I don't, and it crashes on the loading screen

[topaz gazelle]

like, more in gameplay

[glad aspen]

HELLJUMPERS

[obsidian wyvern]

👀

[glad aspen]

PREPARE TO DROP

but soon

[topaz gazelle]

i tryed, but my laptop is in theese days is now a potato, and smh, i have infinite "installed" and just when i try customizate my spartan, it crashes

[glad aspen]

THEY MADE AN ANIMATED VIDEO????

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't even realise

[jagged slate]

what kind of gpu do you have/

[obsidian wyvern]

it looked really well made

[glad aspen]

i work for them but there's a lot of things i dont know yet

[verbal epoch]

Intel UHD Graphics, 8194 MB total memory which is definitely more than 4G, and DirectX version is 12 like it said

I've disabled the high res multiplayer DLC pack

[obsidian wyvern]

it was kinda funny seeing even u be surprised

[glad aspen]

ye

[jagged slate]

ah i gotcha, ive never had an intel card so i cant say much about that

or is that integrated graphics?

[verbal epoch]

It's just the default that came with the laptop

[obsidian wyvern]

isn't it impossible to run on that

[jagged slate]

is it a GPU? or is it using the onboard integrated graphics

yeah thats what im saying, you need an actual card

[amber mirage]

If you have Intel UHD Graphics, you do not have over 4GB of GPU RAM/VRAM

[verbal epoch]

I'm guessing the integrated? It's whatever the computer has

[jagged slate]

ive got a laptop that runs infinite but it also has a 3070ti lol

[verbal epoch]

Is that not what the 8000 MB memory is?

[amber mirage]

You're probably looking at regular RAM for the 8194 number

[verbal epoch]

It's in the graphics section of dxdiag

[jagged slate]

thats likely just RAM, VRAM is a different thing

[amber mirage]

It's the second number which is your VRAM

[verbal epoch]

Says normal memory is 16384MB in the general section

[jagged slate]

thats your ram fs

but if you have onboard maybe you dont have updated drivers?

[verbal epoch]

Oops 128MB

[jagged slate]

nvm

[glad aspen]

i made this structure!!!!!

[normal owl]

Let's migrate this to #1075989764026675210 so that the tech experts in there can help and we can keep this channel for more conversational items. Thanks so much!

[obsidian wyvern]

the map looks so good

[jagged slate]

nice forging

[obsidian wyvern]

it's so clean wtf

[amber mirage]

Yeah. Unfortunately, not enough. If it's a laptop, you'd need a new one or an external GPU. If it's a desktop, you'd need to buy a GPU. Hope that helps.

[glad aspen]

helljumpers looks so cool

[obsidian wyvern]

this actually looks pretty cool, I'll probably play it quite a bit

[glad aspen]

i haven't playtested it personally
its the first time i see the map and gameplay

[amber mirage]

Which stream?

[obsidian wyvern]

xbox

[glad aspen]

the xbox stream

[obsidian wyvern]

it just ended though lol

[glad aspen]

OCTOBER 25 HELLJUMPERS

[obsidian wyvern]

is that gonna be in matchmaking, didn't seem like they said so 🙁

[glad aspen]

the gamemode its too big to be in matchmaking

:>

[obsidian wyvern]

or when did it start ig

[tight remnant]

almost two hours ago

[acoustic viper]

Nothing new.

Just going over the recent change during FLEETCOM.

Helljumpers | October 25

Helljumpers will be launching on October 25, thank you all for your incredible support and we cannot wait for you all to play it.

Twitter · Oct 5, 2024, 9:51 PM

[acoustic viper]

One day before liberty day, dangerous choice.

It won’t pull me off Helldivers, unfortunately. Not their fault, but you know, they can only do so much.

It does feel like - again - trend chasing, lol, which the community at large dislikes.

[rustic breach]

Happy Saturday Spartans 😛

[mild brook]

What is helljumpers?

[bold sparrow]

Basically Helldivers but Halo

[mild brook]

Sounds cool

[muted rose]

10/10 paraphrasing

[glad aspen]

helldivers on halo but odsts

[tight remnant]

Ron is so funny

[mild brook]

I stopped playing helldivers bc of the bad balancing and poor solo experience but the idea is great so i’ll check this out fs

[smoky token]

i dont think the solo experience has changed much but in the recent major update all the weapons got universally more powerful

u can 1-shot the bile titan with a grenade now

or 2 shot if you cant hit it in the head

[mild brook]

Oh wow

[glad aspen]

the gameplay reveal if someone missed it
https://fxtwitter.com/TheForgeFalcons/status/1842688198427787691

[mild brook]

I mean all the weapons being way better would indirectly make playing solo more possible when playing on lvl 6 and up

[acoustic viper]

I mean Helldivers is a co-op game, teamwork is the optimal and intended way to play.

[mild brook]

Yeah that’s why i just stopped playing and didn’t complain but i do feel there’s a way to balance both

I wonder when 3rd person gets added to the game if there’s will be an option to use it in helljumpers

[glad aspen]

already confirmed as a future update for the gamemode
https://x.com/TheForgeFalcons/status/1842317363011617195

The Forge Falcons (@TheForgeFalcons) on X

Helljumpers | 3rd Person

Now that it is out there, we are happy to say Helljumpers will be getting a 3rd person mode shortly after launch!

We will give players 2 options with Helljumpers, those being 1st & 3rd person. Allowing you to play the way YOU want to play.

We hope you

Twitter · Oct 4, 2024, 9:34 PM

[mild brook]

Oh nice

Definitely gonna play that

[glad aspen]

the true helldivers experience

[acoustic viper]

That made me…unreasonably angry for a second, lol.

You can’t just “make Helldivers in Halo”, I mean.

The entire game was built around the experience.

Halo (at least as a forged mode) just can’t really compete.

That goes for any game, really.

Like if Call of Duty, or Fortnite, etc, tried it.

You have to basically make the entire game from scratch.

[mild brook]

Yeah it’s just cool to have the mode/game since helldivers is heavily inspired by odsts in the first place.

[glad aspen]

prepare to drop in a few weeks

[acoustic viper]

It’s more inspired by the original Starship troopers, not ODST’s.

Well, Helldivers takes from a ton of Sci-fi, but the inspirations of Starship Troopers, 40K, Dune, and The Forever War are basically written on its sleeve.

But yeah, it’s neat to have a similar-ish mode in Infinte.

[glad aspen]

good old times when the team thought this gamemode was going to be released in may

[mild brook]

What pushed it back to the 25th?

[glad aspen]

its a really big project
like 10 times bigger than all of the battle royale modes

[mild brook]

Oh ok fair. How many missions are available on the 25th?

[glad aspen]

no idea tbh

im just the graphic designer guy

[mild brook]

Is that like a paid job or is it like a passion for halo type thing

[glad aspen]

we just like halo

[mild brook]

Im glad we have a group like that to make big projects purely just bc they like halo

[glad aspen]

but i dont mind if 343/microsoft decides to pay us lol

[pulsar cobalt]

I wonder if we gonna get a 10th core

i mean there's a extra podium

[mild brook]

What would you want it to be?

[candid tusk]

Pumpkin King core.

[pulsar cobalt]

Well i have like few things that i want it to be Hellbringer,Orion,Agryana core,elites

or a knight fracture core

[glad aspen]

i wonder why agryna's armor is not a core yet

[pulsar cobalt]

I want it to be a core badly

[mild brook]

I’ve seen agryana mentioned before as a core but why would that be a core? Its just 1 set of what i assume is her custom armor

[candid tusk]

A kit set would make sense for it.

[pulsar cobalt]

It's different enough to be a core

[pulsar cobalt]

Please no

[candid tusk]

A core would require that they have other pieces to be added to it as well.

[mild brook]

Yeah i could see it as a kit but cores usually look way different and have a theme. (Not that i like kits being added)

[pulsar cobalt]

No one want's a locked boring kit

[candid tusk]

Infinite is definitely not in the development spot for a full core to be added.

[pulsar cobalt]

Look at mark 7 and mark v b

[pulsar cobalt]

It's what makes them money so new cores 100% likely

[mild brook]

I’m convinced they made mkv(b) a different core just to give it the same weird body type as reach had

[hasty zinc]

all drops done!

[candid tusk]

"My watch has ended."

[glad aspen]

damn im still missing the main drops

[pulsar cobalt]

10th core possibly could be the last one who knows we have to wait and see

[mild brook]

I can’t even press claim on my drops

[hasty zinc]

yeah it wont let me, just give it some time

[pulsar cobalt]

I have faith 343 have already cooked the next core and waiting on the right time to release it

[hasty zinc]

you have 9 days to claim them

[mild brook]

Mark iv was the biggest W they’ve had with infinite for me personally

Customization wise

[normal owl]

Now, you rest, sweet prince.

[mild brook]

If everything was fully cross core it would be that but they stopped doing that

[graceful portal]

ahh thought i was the only one having issues claiming drops

[fossil skiff]

I’d be cool with more of the h4/5 armor added. There were a few that really cooked.

[pulsar cobalt]

I think GEN2 stuff is being converted to mark 7

[fossil skiff]

Prefect in Infinite 😭

[candid tusk]

The only faith I have is Faith of the Heart. 🎵

[bleak shoal]

Does the spartan have like cameras you see out of

[fossil skiff]

It makes sense, given that we have GEN3 now. But some of that stuff is mighty confusing at times

[graceful portal]

well we have achilles from h5 but you have to get it from the store.

[candid tusk]

Many do.

[fossil skiff]

Fred-104’s armor does

[graceful portal]

i wish that those unlocked the achilles in h5 also got it in infinite

[fossil skiff]

Funny little bit in a book where he’s talking to someone in a warthog while looking at them and still driving without issue

[bleak shoal]

Ah ok. I always wondered how we went from halo 3 visors to like here's a giant strip in the middle

[mild brook]

Do you guys think that hero rank will get you something in the next game? I hit it in july

[bleak shoal]

Probably

[pulsar cobalt]

What i want for infinite mostly is eaglestrike,hazmat and Mirage stuff and new weapons and some more dev maps would be nice that's all i want

[candid tusk]

It'll get you a firm handshake and a coupon for a medium fry on the McDonald's app.

[bleak shoal]

Or a mcflurry atleast 😭

But they're always broken

[candid tusk]

Not with their new cups. Not touching those again. Nope.

[pulsar cobalt]

Like it confuses me eaglestrike is the only core that that's been left to rot 😭

[normal owl]

IF you agree to the amended Terms & Conditions.

[bleak shoal]

When you're broke, you gotta take what you can get

[fossil skiff]

Ngl saving big cups from restaurants is a strat

[pulsar cobalt]

But if 343 have stopped doing new cores that's fine but like come on give eaglestrike some love

[fossil skiff]

Got a bunch from Dunkin saved up to hold stuff and use for cleaning now

[verbal epoch]

Did something happen?

[candid tusk]

More cost effective to buy a tub of icecream at a grocery store.

[lapis ivy]

Now that's a good deal

[candid tusk]

McDonald's changed their McFlurry packaging is all.

[bleak shoal]

👆

[normal owl]

UGH I just discovered those when getting one for my admin: horrible.

[verbal epoch]

Ah, may depend on country

Hasn't changed here in ages (As a mcD worker)

[forest lagoon]

Why change packaging on a product they don't even sell

[bleak shoal]

I'll just take my PBJ sandwich then

[fossil skiff]

Idk what the new cup looks like but based on these reactions im in no hurry to find out

[normal owl]

They're now a glorified takeout box trying to hold ice cream.

[verbal epoch]

We definitely do

[forest lagoon]

It's a joke... becuase machine broke...

[fossil skiff]

You guys have functioning ice cream machines? D:

[bleak shoal]

I've never actually found a broken machine like ever

[candid tusk]

Only missing the cute metal handle.

[verbal epoch]

I don't understand that joke, it's working most of the time here

[forest lagoon]

Mine's never broken. Just "shutdown for cleaning" perpetually

[bleak shoal]

I've gone to Alabama, Oklahoma, Florida, and Georgia Mcdonald locations and I've always gotten my ice cream

[bleak shoal]

It is what it is

[verbal epoch]

Should only be happening at 3am

[mild brook]

Hilarious that the conversation pivoted to mcdonalds struggles 😂

[forest lagoon]

You go tell them that then lol

[verbal epoch]

Right which country

[lapis ivy]

I'll have a large order of a big mc with a side of fries and a soda with no ice please

[bleak shoal]

Respect to all the late night shift workers who probably getting minumum wage

[verbal epoch]

Mm

[fossil skiff]

Covid definitely changed that forever imo

[bleak shoal]

Life was so different after Quarantine

[fossil skiff]

Same with late night shopping. Used to go to our local Walmart with the buddies at 3 am for snacks. Cant do that anymore.

[mild brook]

Mcdonalds pays 15 near me but 15 is kind of a joke with how expensive housing and groceries are

[bleak shoal]

I'm living in an apartment now and I'm having trouble finding a house I can afford. Let alone actually want to live in

Yall faring better?

[verbal epoch]

Isn't that just life? Right now it takes more than the combined income of a full-time working couple to afford even the most basic house here

[bleak shoal]

Im literally struggling to pay tuition rn. The scholarships are not helping me

[mild brook]

Im looking for a new apartment currently it’s tough trying to find the most cost effective place thats not too far from work but at the same time not taking too much out of your monthly earnings

[verbal epoch]

I live with my Uncle, paying 1/3 of his rent and it's still more than half of my income

[woven estuary]

Can't claim the HCS armor coating

[lapis ivy]

I live in a mobile home and it ain't any better except for the AC

[bleak shoal]

Ah shucks

[mild brook]

My main concern is AC living in texas lmao when i do a tour i immediately check and ask about that

[bleak shoal]

Why economy be like this

[verbal epoch]

Because rich people buying all the properties

[bleak shoal]

Gas is expensive too 😩

[mild brook]

How much is is in your area? Its gone down a good amount near me. Usually 2.50-2.80

[verbal epoch]

$2 a litre in some places, down to $1.50 in others I've seen nearby

[bleak shoal]

It's 3 bucks here what

[normal owl]

Let's get it started!

[lapis ivy]

The economy has gotten worse not to mention the inflation rates

[verbal epoch]

Is fish?

[verbal epoch]

Is that per litre or gallon?

[bleak shoal]

Per gallon

[bleak shoal]

2 per liter? Damn

[lapis ivy]

The only thing I hate about Texas is the heat the AC keeps things cool but prices are going up

[verbal epoch]

Solar panels?

[lapis ivy]

Nope

[mild brook]

Yeah same

[fickle drift]

like i should be able to micro aim easily with the right stick. its not "friendly" like that in this game though

[verbal epoch]

Any reason not?

[lapis ivy]

I don't trust those to last

[verbal epoch]

I mean ours went for several years, how long are you thinking?

[bleak shoal]

Your telling me it takes 8 dollars to pay for a gallon at where you are

[lapis ivy]

Maybe 14 years without falling off the ceiling?

[verbal epoch]

Yeah, Americans complain about their prices but...

[verbal epoch]

Not sure about your roof specifications and things but should get a few years out of them at least, enough to pay for themselves

[bleak shoal]

Well we also have alot of other stuff to pay. Taxes, tuition, bills, groceries, etc.

[verbal epoch]

Same

[bleak shoal]

Idk what your paycheck but mine is enough to make ends meet

Like barely though :p

[verbal epoch]

It's partly why we've got so much public transport and bike lanes and things

[bleak shoal]

Hmm I see

[verbal epoch]

Varies greatly on the week - sometimes I make less than rent, sometimes enough to cover all and have a little left for next week

Taken a year to save up 3k

[lapis ivy]

My home needs repairs since 2009 cause of hurricane Dolly man I hate that hurricane so much ngl

[bleak shoal]

I've been investing in the stockmarket in the last couple of months. It's been helping some bit

[lapis ivy]

Plus weather here is so rainy that imma bout to build the ark of Noah cause of the flooding lol and cutting the grass the mosquitoes

Yeah big job for me lol

[verbal epoch]

Simply put: The world is stuffed

[mild brook]

What do u guys think of the rumor about them making a CE remake

[verbal epoch]

Could be cool, lot of nostalgia gone though I think

[lapis ivy]

CE is indeed my childhood game that's how I got into halo

[mild brook]

I would definitely play it and support it if it’s done right but i think there should also be a new game released first or soon after that

But CE is 3rd worst behind halo 4 and 5 in my overall ranking of the games

[bleak shoal]

:<

I think they should not make a remake

[mild brook]

I think they need it just to prove that a halo game can sell in the 2020s

[bleak shoal]

I mean Halo Infinite sold like 8 million copies

I think

[mild brook]

Even if it did i think there’s no denying a sequel to infinite would sell alot worse bc of how infinite was handled

But remakes of beloved games always sell really good

[lapis ivy]

Only thing I praise about the infinite is forge tbh

[mild brook]

I love infinite in alot of ways but i’ll never say it’s the best we could’ve gotten

Idk how most people feel about it but i really hate that bloom is a thing

[fickle drift]

anyone wanna play?

Caint

Dang there’s 48k people watching infinite on twitch

Anyone think they’re gonna announce the mk6 gen 1 armor at some point during the championship event?

[amber gulch]

Hey guys is teabagging allowed in Halo infinite or can you get banned if you do it ?

[hasty zinc]

you will not get banned for it

[gilded wedge]

shooting body imo is more disrespectful, need more of it

[fickle drift]

thats a real questions or what?

Is halo offline right now?

[solid thicket]

I was gonna ask the same thing

[granite sky]

yea seems to be for me

[flat coyote]

Same

[fickle drift]

yeah okay just making sure

cant get in

[solid thicket]

I can't connect to the servers

[glad bison]

ok so it's not just me

[fickle drift]

Im so close to be able to play rank man

10 more games i think

[woven estuary]

I can't claim my HCS armor coating and Killionare charm

[fickle drift]

I think its just cause its being funking right now

[glad bison]

server is derping

[upper niche]

RIP just hopped on for the first game of the night 😦

[fickle drift]

[fickle drift]

Everyone enjoy good luck on your games

[hasty zinc]

yes, it's an ongoing issue

I recommend trying tomorrow

[mild brook]

Bruh this co streamer just put up 15 ads while im trying to get my drops

[rare cedar]

ATTENTION HWC2024 ATTENDEES We will be hosting a group photo of all the Halo Discord members who’ve come out to attend HWC2024!!!

Please join us at the Community Stage at 7:45pm PST, just after the Girly Spark panel.

Hope to see you there!

[mild brook]

Wish I could’ve gone

[faint mantle]

x2

[jagged slate]

hope they host it again next year but i kinda doubt it

[jagged slate]

if halo ever bans t bagging then all halo fans will have truly lost lol

[fossil skiff]

x3
But guaranteed next year

[jagged slate]

it is? didnt know that

more than anything i really hope we get an announcement / trailer minimum next year for the next game

its crazy to think but next June it will have been 3 and a half years since infinites launch

[fickle drift]

They just need to keep this and update it

making new games now days is the key to destryoing games

[signal wedge]

this year

[steady jolt]

Wouldn't look for a new game trailer this year, especially not at this point

[jagged slate]

1% chance

id bet an announcement would be at the xbox showcase

not outta nowhere unless 343 have something big planned

[jagged slate]

the sad yet honest truth lol, it woulda been at the showcase

[signal wedge]

😭

[fickle drift]

its too late

[meager linden]

Oh yeah

Just claim last twitch drop

[fickle drift]

good thing i did the Xbox partner drop , it ends tonight

but i click claim and it stays there 😦

[jagged slate]

Infinite? i can understand where your coming from but they have very clearly all but left it behind

whatever project they are working on it isnt infinite thats for sure, especially with a potential engine swap to unreal

[fickle drift]

the game got tarnished early on. hopefully they learned from the disastrous launch

[jagged slate]

has a lot to do with bad code from all the research ive done and things ive heard over the years

[signal wedge]

Infinite 2

[jagged slate]

i think a new engine would really be a fresh start for them

[fickle drift]

well not only that but .... launch with more fleshed out modes early on, the poor choice with unlockables, shop, blah blah

[jagged slate]

especially since games like Black Myth wukong are being developed on unreal, a new halo could look so good, question is how would it play

[fickle drift]

plenty to correct for next launch

[jagged slate]

yeah the launch was bad, they nailed the hardest part ( gameplay ) and fumbled everywhere else

[signal wedge]

almost every game is on unreal now

[jagged slate]

quite a lot are yeah

ive got hope for the future with the new management, hope they nail the launch of the next game

really hope they get rid of the contractor stuff tho, i doubt it due to microsoft but still

[signal wedge]

permament employees

meanwhile Ubisoft layoffs and news of being sold out

[jagged slate]

we dont talk about ubisoft

definitely the worst game dev studio out there

in my opinion atleast

[signal wedge]

correct

[jagged slate]

star wars outlaws is the definitive proof lol

[smoky token]

Ive heard Outlaws was pretty decent

[signal wedge]

I think it was defo a flop, Ubisoft shares fell

I've seen the gameplay and animation it looks so meh for a "AAAA" game

[smoky token]

they said it was an "AAAA" game?

I remember them saying that about skull and bones

not star wars

[amber mirage]

Outlaws underperformed financially. Wouldn't say it was a flop.

[bleak shoal]

I'm sure blizzard can compete with that title

[bleak shoal]

Financially. The game is uhm, interesting. I've seen worse video games

[signal wedge]

would be funny if tencent buys Ubisoft

[rare cedar]

Photo time didn’t happen as it was a bit confusing post-panel.

Next year, I’ll try to establish a better time and location for a server photo!

[hasty zinc]

sorry to hear that 😦

[bleak shoal]

Tis sad

[fossil skiff]

Aegis go to worlds next year or else

[hasty zinc]

maybe

[fossil skiff]

So there is a chance

[bleak shoal]

🤨

[feral yew]

You should if you can!!

[hasty zinc]

I'm still upset with myself for missing HaloFest

[fossil skiff]

When was that?

[hasty zinc]

2011

[fossil skiff]

Dang o_o

[bleak shoal]

Ooo we are going to get Halo 2 Earth City soon from the Digsite team

I'm not gonna post links cuz me not want banned

[hasty zinc]

was it information they released?

[bleak shoal]

From Neo Te Aika from X.

Idk, I'm asking here if this person a credible source

:v

[hasty zinc]

he's a member of digsite

they probably talked about it at worlds

[fossil skiff]

I sleep 🛌 gn

[hasty zinc]

night man

[bleak shoal]

I'll just dm what he sent

[hasty zinc]

I already have it up

[bleak shoal]

Alr

[steady jolt]

Every game studio out there makes use of contractors, there are game studios set up solely to be a contract partner and help out with different games. This isn't anything new, been the same for well over a decade now. Practically every type of business uses contractors.

[bleak shoal]

Nov 9 it will be here apparently

[hasty zinc]

Playing the Halo 2 E3 demo mission is a bucket list thing for me

[steady jolt]

343 has permanent employees

[bleak shoal]

Wait so the contracted employees wasn't the problem that content was taking forever to come?

Or main factor whatever idrc

[signal wedge]

Idk what's going on over there. Must be tough, I don't get it though since Halo is like a very successful IP. Unless of course Infinite didn't do well in sales

[bleak shoal]

Infinite sold like 8 million copies right?

[signal wedge]

Not beating the only in for the money allegations

[bleak shoal]

• whoever actually spent money on the shop

[harsh elk]

Why are my ears ringing

Did someone fire a 152mm howitzer indoors?

[bleak shoal]

Oddly specific 🤔

[signal wedge]

tinnitus

[harsh elk]

I probably do have tinnitus been thinking I do for years

[hasty zinc]

it sucks

[harsh elk]

I’ll just be sitting there and then my ears go EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[hasty zinc]

the quieter the room the louder my head

[harsh elk]

Same

[hasty zinc]

it's why I wear a bluetooth sleep mask for brown noise

[granite sky]

whats the name of the ally arbiter group again i cant remember

[harsh elk]

At this point I just learned to live with it because to my at this point it’s almost normal

[harsh elk]

Swords of sanghelios?

[granite sky]

thank u!

[harsh elk]

No problem

[plush flax]

What were those orange/gold elites called that were hidden through out reach? If you couldn’t get to them quick enough they would disappear?

[bleak shoal]

B.O.B.

[tiny solstice]

Any chance there will be more opportunities for these new unicorns?

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[steady jolt]

Yep

[bold sparrow]

They offered the one from yesterday here as a giveaway just yesterday.

[signal wedge]

thank goodness I got a ceiling fan

[steady jolt]

The one in #giveaways is still going and there will be more posted tomorrow

[valid grotto]

I can't big type here?

Is halo still alive

[sharp aurora]

Of course

[hushed wren]

I thought third person was only for the multiplayer

Just found out its for campaign too

[zealous spear]

I turned off my Nadia overlay and halo stopped crashing, which doesn’t make sense because I would be watching my character in Main menu and the game would be running. Then it would crash after i press any button

How could that even be an overlay problem. Doesn’t even make sense

[fickle drift]

"You killed poonflip!"

[wooden surge]

3/10

[wooden surge]

Depends on what you mean by "alive"
Only 2 game modes on infinite seem to have players, and h5 is no longer cycling through the game modes it had, so all of the good ones are permanently out of rotation... I miss griffball in arcade

As for mcc
It's just endless slayer in h2 and reach

Everything else has a 20 minute wait times, and someone always disconnects within the first minute of the game,

[meager linden]

~892 matches left to reach Hero
I wanted yesterday to reach onyx Lt 1, but my head almost exploded

[graceful inlet]

Good Morning, the drops Are all done 😅

[split kestrel]

I'm on my last 500

From August 16th - October 6th I went from Onyx Cadet to Onyx Colonel.

(I'm going insane)

[meager linden]

From September 1th -October 3rd I went from onyx cadet to onyx master sergeant
(Gotta need to grind more for the end)

[split kestrel]

Also Onyx Major and LTCOL aren’t that bad

Grade 3 for both major and Ltcol is only 175

I genuinely thought it would’ve been 200k but I guess that’s for Colonel

Which means grade 3 General is probably either 300k or 350k

[bold sparrow]

Mmm, infinite Firefight games...

[meager linden]

It's almost like an MMORPG games where you need to grind eternity to get one item

[obsidian wyvern]

fINALLY

ive spent like a good hour and a half on this section alone

[rare cedar]

That cutscene =

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-12869046600151364058

Legendary?

[obsidian wyvern]

laso

[split kestrel]

GG

[obsidian wyvern]

[graceful inlet]

Yeah, I remember my exact reaction😅
It was a good cutscene.

[meager linden]

Only 3 missions left for him
Covenant
Cortana
Halo
Good luck with Cortana level

Forgot how dope the trooper mods are, feels like a completely new game

[fickle drift]

Sorry if this isn't the best place to ask, I can't find anything online, can enemies see your text chat in FFA?

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[near salmon]

have i just gotten worse or are the legendary campaigns at 60hz way way harder?

[obsidian wyvern]

they are harder

[near salmon]

like i am struggling so hard, i dont remember dying this insanely fast even on legendary

[obsidian wyvern]

from what I've heard, the sabre section on reach got affected most

[near salmon]

i did reach recently and that part sucked lol

[obsidian wyvern]

a lot of hiding compared to other difficulties

[near salmon]

yea prolly wont use legendary as my go to in mcc anymore which is sad bc i always used to

[obsidian wyvern]

tbf it's fun learning the skips at least

but there is a lot of luck involved with the enemies

[fickle drift]

Wtf is the point of having text chat if no one can see it? So lame

[short moat]

Is anyone up for running firefight legendary (infinite) I’m trying to finish an old battle pass before the new season

[shy bluff]

im still looking for more answers but for now ill reccomend him halo ce, halo 2 and halo 3

[meager linden]

Just buy a good PC or console

[fickle drift]

Why is FFA always the most fun in FPS games?

[regal sluice]

man why doesnt anyone play MCC in asia its frustrating af

[balmy slate]

They prefer League and Valorant

[queen remnant]

Halo was never that big over there so I am not surprised

[regal sluice]

i hate it

i wish to move to the US just to find matches on MCC

[white valley]

Which controller layout do you guys use ?

I use Reclaimer, on MCC, 5 and Infinite. Reload with X, shoot with RT, grenade on LT, zoom with RS, LB is ability, B crouches, RB melees, A jumps, Y switch weapons and D Pad switch grenades

[rare cedar]

Ol’ reliable - Bumper Jumper with A (Sprint) and X (Ability) on the back paddles

[hearty fog]

Is there some sort of news coming out today?

[normal owl]

Yes, studio update: tune in before the Grand Finals.

[steady jolt]

Definitely worth watching the stream today

[graceful wigeon]

is the wcs over or not yet?

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think it'll run ngl

[obsidian wyvern]

what time is grand finals

[plush flax]

Halo infinite’s display setting are a joke

[normal owl]

4:30p ET, so is that 8:30p/9:30p for you?

[obsidian wyvern]

thanks

i thought that was when the stream started though, the actual grand finals match is a few hours after. they said their studio announcement is right before then

[normal owl]

You know what, you might be right. Looking at this thing:

What's the big secret they've got? 🤫

[obsidian wyvern]

I gotta stay up I guess

[white valley]

Is WCS only Infinite ? Or does it have other Halo games too ?

Is there a team world champion and an individual world champion ?

[amber mirage]

It's only Infinite. There is a winning team.

[meager linden]

So today is the last game?
In grand final?

[steady jolt]

There will be a few more games played today, then it will head to the grand finals

[meager linden]

If my head doesn't explode from pain, I'll watch it

[trim saddle]

Standard daily greeting (morning for me)

[meager linden]

Halo 5 is coming to pc nearly time, or something else

[meager linden]

Greetings

[signal wedge]

they are games

[amber gulch]

Fair enough good answer👍

[latent anchor]

😄

[hushed lake]

Is the default armour cadet grey or cadet blue

[meager linden]

Cadet blue

[hushed lake]

I saw a hero ranked player the other day using the default armour

[bronze breach]

3rd person view is coming to infinite?

[bleak shoal]

Only in certain playlists

[bronze breach]

Damn.

[bleak shoal]

You'll probably be able to allow it on in custom games if you choose

[granite sky]

Yea it'll be everywhere in customs bc it'll be a scriptable trait

[bronze breach]

Haven't played infinite since April so wanted to get back into it

[bleak shoal]

Oh. Uhm we also can have campaign music in forge too

[bronze breach]

Sweet.

[white valley]

Are there campaign levels on Halo 5 forge ?

[granite sky]

What like with campaign AI?

[white valley]

Yes

I dont remember if halo 5 had forge ai

[granite sky]

H5 does not

[elfin glacier]

i hope spacestation wins

[graceful wigeon]

did we get any information on a potential dlc on the campaign?

[signal wedge]

cancelled

[worldly garnet]

When will Halo 5 release on PC?

[hasty zinc]

there are no announced plans to bring Halo 5 to PC

[graceful wigeon]

really? What baout the 10 years fo service?

[signal wedge]

idk

[sage timber]

when today's live stream start?

I have 2.5 hours to carry on

[sage timber]

they said win10 is the last windows

[fickle drift]

Hello

[obsidian wyvern]

until today ( )

[hasty zinc]

I feel like I'm missing context

[steady jolt]

There was never any campaign DLC announced, pre or post launch

[forest lagoon]

[amber mirage]

The angle they decided to capture that emoji hurts me

[jade gust]

There was never any confirmation that the campaign would get any DLC in the first place. Anyone saying there was cancelled DLC for it is going off of misinformation

[bleak shoal]

Oooo not only are we getting Earth City from the Digsite, we're also getting Alphamoon

[obsidian wyvern]

Twitter · Oct 6, 2024, 4:00 AM

[hasty zinc]

hmm

oh ske7ch said it's not a new game

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

halo 5 isn't a new game

[forest lagoon]

lol

[bold sparrow]

Its too early for a new game anyway.

[digital pewter]

morning everyone.

[hasty zinc]

I knew you would say that lol

[indigo lotus]

Still too early for a new game. The update might be for Infinite, MCC or both. One way to find out is watch HWC.

[hasty zinc]

my money is probably a partnership or something

[obsidian wyvern]

my biggest fear is them announcing season 3 of the TV show

I just hope they start a new movie/show instead of continuing

[obsidian wyvern]

I just want these last 2 matchmaking achievements man

the things we've seen trying to get it

[acoustic viper]

I’m expecting n a partnership deal or something, yeah.

I doubt it’s a game update.

[meager linden]

Good night Spartans

[hasty zinc]

this is cool

[pulsar cobalt]

I think it might be something PlayStation related or the studio is at full strength again

[obsidian wyvern]

there's no way they got their campaign team back already if they still didn't have one a few months back

[hasty zinc]

lmao this mod called Prowlers "Wacky Wookie Wagons"

[faint mantle]

What is THAT 👀

[fickle drift]

Genuinely screw those achievements

[hasty zinc]

it's glorious

[obsidian wyvern]

MERTY WITH A NEW PFP

[fickle drift]

Infernoplus is at it again isn't he

[faint mantle]

I'd gladly take that as long as a good director is taking the wheel. Didn't Christopher Nolan show interest?

[obsidian wyvern]

nvm it's a server one, but still. like the first time in 4 yrs I've seen it change

[obsidian wyvern]

that was fake lol

[faint mantle]

Clearly you didn't look at it on my birthday.

[faint mantle]

Damnit

[obsidian wyvern]

I saw the party hat

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah, I feel like no one's gonna want to help again after that experience lol

still proud of us getting 8 ppl on somehow

[faint mantle]

I have four moods

[obsidian wyvern]

I have not seen the Santa one

[hasty zinc]

which is the one where you assign the wrong points on Twitch? 😏

[obsidian wyvern]

top right lmfao

[faint mantle]

Mertín Sánchez, top right

[hasty zinc]

lmao

I'm just goofin Merty

[obsidian wyvern]

he almost did it again yesterday

[steady jolt]

LMAO

[faint mantle]

In my defense, they cued the music

[obsidian wyvern]

that was the problem last time too lol

[faint mantle]

You expect me to learn from my mistakes? What am I, Iron Man?

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll always remember that mess up, such a great end to that weekend

I believe it was the same weekend I hosted that first custom night

[normal wagon]

I know the game is kinda dead and unsupported but anyone else having issues starting games with friends in halo wars 2

[meager linden]

Me, and my schizophrenia through life

Ping me, when HCS Grand final are will start

[hasty zinc]

you could just set an alarm

[fickle drift]

Make it the Nostromo Alarm and set it to full volume, it'll do the trick.

[fickle drift]

The Ark and The Covenant are the two big roadblocks for H3

[obsidian wyvern]

ive been on the ark longer than the last mission of odst at this point

wow aegis youre not a real halo 4 fan on easy 😤

[jade gust]

That's so weak, we must make them play on legendary

[jagged slate]

3V3s? Or customs?

[normal wagon]

Custom idk about 3ve

3v3

Whats "welcome to the arc"?

Im my halo wars 2 installs ive never seen that

[steady jolt]

It's a DLC entitlement I believe, related to buying a certain edition of the game

[normal wagon]

My friend doesnt have it. Its the only difference between us

[normal vale]

Anyone on the steamdeck getting issue on MCC campaign co-op with PC and steamdeck cause it still crashes

[hasty zinc]

I"m not even playing Halo 3 lol

I'm playing a Halo 3 mod

lol

[valid portal]

Seems to be a problem with proton 9.03, I was encountering the same problem when playing on deck with someone on Xbox
I've heard that using proton GE fixes it?

[fickle drift]

The game banner can be buggy sometimes, it's weird.

I remember it saying 'H:CE Multiplayer: Pillar of Autumn' one time

[normal vale]

Oki I need someone to test it out hmm

[valid portal]

My favorite slayer map

[granite sky]

Why does everything speak volumes

[normal vale]

I wonder why it’s only campaign multiplayer works fine

[jagged slate]

I’ve played a lot as of lately, haven’t had any issues

[normal wagon]

Idk my friend doesnt own any dlc and we think thats causing the issue

[jade plank]

hi

[normal wagon]

My other friend turned on the "welcome to the arc" dlc and that fixed his game but the one im with now doesnt have that dlc and it wont load anything. I tried turning it off and it stopped letting me invite people to games

He switched to playing on the cloud and it seems to have fixed the issue but I'm so confused

how's everyone's sunday going so far? i'm having a pretty slow day at work, but at least i brought reading material lol(i have a picture of my desk with a copy of the flood on it but i can't post images)

[pliant yoke]

is there a promo channel for yt videos?

[faint mantle]

As long as it's Halo, you can use #1076327824924872755

[limpid ferry]

When does the HCS Championship Finale stream start?

[near salmon]

I wanna replay the campaigns on legendary but the last time I did that was before 60hz. I literally cannot do any of them now without constant hiding, it's so miserable

[rich marlin]

wdym?

[near salmon]

How do people play them like this? Genuinely how has there not been enough talk to fix it lol

[steady jolt]

#1291512787545096243 message

[near salmon]

Campaigns are 10x harder on mcc these days than they ever were cuz of the stupid 60hz update

[naive crystal]

?

its not

[near salmon]

It is tho, enemies can take more actions more quickly

I can go play og halo 2 rn and it's way easier

[limpid ferry]

Based on the schedule I still can’t figure out the exact time in CST

[steady jolt]

BST - 6

[limpid ferry]

I know CST is an hour ahead of PT but I don’t exactly know what times are

[steady jolt]

Look up a time converter and convert PT to CST

[near salmon]

I wish the old games were at least backwards compatible on the one

Might have to pull out the 360 for a legendary series replay

[faint mantle]

The show starts <t:1728240300:R>

[near salmon]

Anyone try the mod to restore mcc to 30hz? That might be what I'm looking for

[clever basin]

Can I put my Minecraft video in show and tell?

[faint mantle]

No

[faint mantle]

Oh yeah I forgot
@torn pebble nice work!

[clever basin]

I know it

[meager linden]

Great job, not everyone can do that actually

[split kestrel]

Another day of grinding fire fight

[clever basin]

[steady jolt]

Wake up babe, new Unicorn emblem just dropped 🌬️

[faint mantle]

[clever basin]

No?

[trim saddle]

[pliant hatch]

[hasty zinc]

I don't think so

I'm sure this place will blow up once it does

[pliant hatch]

unless it's something meh

[steady jolt]

Studio update is happening just before Grand Finals

We're a few hours away yet

[bleak shoal]

Studio update?

[trim saddle]

Oh true, thank you for the info 🙂

[steady jolt]

[jagged slate]

Looks like we might actually be getting some good halo news

[obsidian wyvern]

doubt it

[sturdy fjord]

I need help with something

[obsidian wyvern]

[bleak shoal]

Let's hope

[meager linden]

Please

[candid tusk]

There's no need to move that fast. I'll get there when I get there. Don't wait for me either.

[fossil skiff]

80s suits be like

[bleak shoal]

Slow and steady wins the race

[viscid crown]

@bleak shoal

[bleak shoal]

Hello

[viscid crown]

My dog is licking my face rn 😛

[bleak shoal]

Ok?

Uhm good for you

[trim saddle]

dogs are awesome though. puppy kisses are nice.

[bleak shoal]

I'm a more of a cat person

[trim saddle]

me too, have 2 cats. I like dogs, I just dont have any lol

[bleak shoal]

It is what it is

[mild brook]

Have they made the studio announcement yet?

[bleak shoal]

No I don't think

Wait what's so important about this announcement again?

[mild brook]

Idk but they made sure to make it apart of their tweet so im a tiny bit excited

[bleak shoal]

Idk what I'm expecting

[mild brook]

They already said its not a game announcement and I wasn’t even expecting that so maybe it’s something for infinite

[bleak shoal]

New game?

[mild brook]

Negative

[bleak shoal]

Wait why did i say that

[obsidian wyvern]

good question

[fickle drift]

It's a studio announcement, probably announcing a partnership with another studio or smth of the like.

Like 'hey we're working on something special with Certain Affinity'

[obsidian wyvern]

I would legitimately be mad

[bleak shoal]

If?

[candid solar]

I think it's gonna be a merch announcement.

[bleak shoal]

Damn

[mild brook]

Maybe CA is taking over supporting infinite so they can put 100% into other things

[candid solar]

No matter what it is, I fully expect it to pander to people's nostalgia glands.

[bleak shoal]

If it's gonna be merch, I'm gonna be a little sad

[candid solar]

reach core 2, now with 30% more Reach!

[obsidian wyvern]

because we've been waiting for news on CAs halo project for 2 yrs now and if it's just "we're working with CA" idk

[fickle drift]

Confirmation of it's continued existence would be something ig

[bleak shoal]

Is there a Halo CE medpack pillow in the merch store?

[mild brook]

They just did odst merch a couple weeks ago idk what merch would warrant an entire announcement at a championship event

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but I assume that'll go under "new halo game" so it won't be the case

I can't see it being an infinite project anymore

[fickle drift]

True, at least we wont have to speculate much longer

[bleak shoal]

When is this announcement gonna happen

[obsidian wyvern]

just another 2 matches at most hopefully

[mild brook]

Yeah there’s no point really they would lose money on that people aren’t gonna come back to infinite anymore if they’ve already dropped it

[forest lagoon]

Especially if OpTic wins the next set

[obsidian wyvern]

wins the what skyfi

[forest lagoon]

hush

[obsidian wyvern]

NOO I didn't get to screenshot it in time

[forest lagoon]

[candid solar]

Hopefully they do the offload-to-smaller-streamers thing

[mild brook]

What is that

[candid solar]

I had about 2 hours get eaten by my computer deciding it didn't want the internet anymore so I'm behind on stream rewards

[obsidian wyvern]

let co streamers continue the main drops

[fossil skiff]

Guys it’s gonna be halo 2: anniversary: anniversary

Get ready for 4K campaign

[mild brook]

Oh

[obsidian wyvern]

grave grind in 8k

[fossil skiff]

As expected :)

[candid solar]

Halo CE Reboot

Literally watch my interest in Halo kickflip itself directly into the garbage

[bleak shoal]

Halo 2 needs a reboot

Atleast CE is polished

[candid solar]

https://tenor.com/view/yuckers-yummers-homelander-its-yummers-gif-10513465113292340707

[pliant hatch]

h5 pc, h3a

[fossil skiff]

CE ain’t polished 💀💀💀

[mild brook]

Yeah a reboot would destroy halo how would they restart the story when we barely get any stories from the current timeline

[bleak shoal]

Because?

[candid solar]

https://tenor.com/view/crygup-yummers-its-yummers-reddit-slot-machine-reddit-gif-3043316022607177622

[fossil skiff]

CE Anniversary’s graphics were disgusting

[candid solar]

Honestly I'd accept a H3A if the compromise was adding H5 to PC

[bleak shoal]

Oh were talking about anniversary :<

[bleak shoal]

Yes so the rebalanced squad can touch up on 5 :>

[fickle drift]

I think the plans for H2's twentieth lay exclusively in the Digsite team lol

[candid solar]

They already make everything I like garbage, why stop now

[fossil skiff]

game itself was fine, I always love playing it, but those anniversary graphics killed the original ambience

[bleak shoal]

Ruby of Blue?

[mild brook]

Lol

[candid solar]

That's just a confused Sapphire

[bleak shoal]

Alr

[candid solar]

... OH MY GOD I JUST GOT THE DAMN JOKE

[bleak shoal]

?

[candid solar]

Steven Universe joke/reference/whatever. A Sapphire is one of the two component gems of a main character.

[bleak shoal]

Ok

[candid solar]

Sapphire->Sapphic.

[bleak shoal]

Yes

[candid solar]

I don't know why I didn't figure out that extremely obvious thing before.

[bleak shoal]

Wait where did the joke come from?

[candid solar]

Gems present almost entirely as feminine/female characters, hence Sapphic.

[bleak shoal]

👍

[candid solar]

So it's kind of a wordplay thing.

[bleak shoal]

Well back to Rebalanced, I just like it cuz new content to a game I already like

I see

Hmm

You think this announcement might change alot of people's view on Halo/343

[fossil skiff]

No

[candid solar]

Having been here for over a decade watching the crapshoot?

[bleak shoal]

:<

[candid solar]

Hell no, not a snowball's chance in the top rings of hell

[bleak shoal]

Idk what I was expecting 🤷‍♀️

Well I'm probably betting this announcement will be a partnership with another studio

Ig

[candid solar]

It could literally be a re-release of Halo 3 with top-tier netcode, full all-system support, remodeled and remastered animations, and a full 150-rank system with an unlock system between Reach and 4 and 3, and it'd still get hated.

[fossil skiff]

didn’t fix lord hoods face?
Garbage.

[bleak shoal]

All of Halo 2's faces in general

[candid solar]

Fix Lord Hood's face? It was iconic, what the hell.

[fossil skiff]

Yes you’re right, it was scarier than the flood

[bleak shoal]

I mean back then, it was iconic

Idk now what's the majority has to say about his face

[candid solar]

Honestly I don't even think Hood's face is that bad compared to the rest of 3's faces.

[bleak shoal]

Atleast 3's faces have proper good facial animations. Halo 2 lip movements were. . . Something

[candid solar]

But that's speaking relatively, it's still awful.

[obsidian wyvern]

the announcement should be now, so start watching the stream

[bleak shoal]

Pls link me to it

[obsidian wyvern]

https://twitch.tv/halo

[bleak shoal]

👍

I'm getting anxious

[candid tusk]

Don't have to be. It's just game.

[pliant hatch]

5 mins

[bleak shoal]

My bad BUT WHEN IS THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

[candid tusk]

Luke might have answered that above you. lol

[bleak shoal]

Ah so after this break ok

[candid tusk]

Have to get the stage setup for the announcement real quick.

[bleak shoal]

I was kinda expecting it to be after the match now but ok

[candid tusk]

I'm sure they're rolling out jungle props to announce Halo 3 Anniversary.

[bleak shoal]

YT live chat is going mad rn

[candid tusk]

No jungle props. Disappointed.

[bleak shoal]

OMG IS THIS HAPPENING

[candid solar]

Wait. That's what he sounds like?

Huh.

I honestly expected a totally different vocal cadence, tbh

Oh.

Unreal. Oh no.

[bleak shoal]

Bruh

[candid solar]

Wait I just realized they're using the Osiris intro theme

[bleak shoal]

Well atleast this game looks better now

[candid solar]

Seething

[bleak shoal]

Infinite looks so bland compared to what they're showing

This looks so good!

[fickle drift]

Whats happeneing

[obsidian wyvern]

that's why I thought it was a halo5 pc announcement

[bleak shoal]

343 is changing to UE5

[fickle drift]

Thats awesome

[smoky token]

what did i miss

[bleak shoal]

The game actually looks good now

[fickle drift]

It looks amazing

[smoky token]

what am i missing

[candid solar]

Halo is on Unreal engine going forward from it sounds like.

[smoky token]

☹️

[fickle drift]

Duuuude thats so sick

[candid solar]

There's also a few Halo 5 suits in the backdrop of a lot of these pics

[bleak shoal]

See the hcs stream, the game looks stunning

[candid solar]

It's just a render theater, it's not much of an actual game, from the looks of it.

[fickle drift]

CHIEF LOOKS INSANE

[bleak shoal]

I know right

[candid solar]

Pretty sure it's the same model as the CE armor in Infinite.

[bleak shoal]

Wait so it saying it's rendered in UE5 isn't true?

[fickle drift]

It is

[candid solar]

No, it's rendered in UE5, it's just not a game.

[bleak shoal]

It's the lighting and reflection that gets me

[candid solar]

It's more like a blender stage type deal, you see people make virtual sets all the time.

[smoky token]

ok what exactly was announced
