general-chat

[candid tusk]

That'd be a fun story to cover in the HCU Multiverse. "What if John Halo failed?"

[hasty zinc]

duolingo sends way too many notifications

[mellow patio]

What’s up guys

[tardy knot]

we need more campaign

[molten pelican]

The overconfident sup lol

Shoot I didn't know it was blur

[foggy pewter]

alright halo CE legendary is done

what next

[meager linden]

Halo 2

[hasty zinc]

H2 LASO no deaths

[molten pelican]

Halo 2 legendary

[meager linden]

Predictable answers

[molten pelican]

People overreact when they hear these words, it's not hard unless you have a skill issue

[hasty zinc]

a no death H2 LASO run isn't hard??

[molten pelican]

I mean I've looked at the halo 2 laso option in the menu so many times and have not spontaneously died yet

[hasty zinc]

lmao

[jade gust]

So you don't spontaneously combust upon seeing that playlist?

[molten pelican]

That would be strange Eon

[trim saddle]

life is strange ™

[foggy pewter]

nope

[foggy pewter]

the first person to pull it off is jervalin

halo 2 LASO deathless glitchless would be impossible

[normal owl]

Xbox loves this one

[candid tusk]

I'll be honest, the only things I allow my phone to notify me on are texts and calls. Everything else gets muted on install.

[signal wedge]

I tend to use my fingers and swipe away. That or press the clear all

[oak elk]

God I hate that half my weakly points are locked behind multiplayer on mcc because everytime I try I just get paired against people with no life

[hasty zinc]

I usually do the same, however I turned duolingo on so I don't forget to do my lesson and now I'm getting spammed

oh cool I figured out how to turn off all duo notifs except for lesson reminders

[candid tusk]

That's fair, and our use time is definitely different. All about ~building habits~ ✨

Wake up, Duo a bit in bed. Duo a bit at work. Duo a bit while drifting off to sleep. We'll see how long it sticks, but it's definitely a better use of time than the reddit doom scrolling I was doing before.

[foggy pewter]

how did sgt johnson survive if he was on the halo ring in the CE legendary ending?

[candid tusk]

CE Legendary ending is just for fun.

[foggy pewter]

so he didn't give the elite a homie hug?

remember kids, it's not gay if the halo ring is exploding

[eternal gate]

Yoooo what u man saying

[hexed geyser]

I cant go to school cuz my body hurts

[obsidian wyvern]

Ive been dying at this one section for 2 hours on cairo and you're saying deathless

[hasty zinc]

you can do it

[foggy pewter]

is odst's pistol really as good as CE's magnum?

[jade gust]

The only time we got a pistol as good as the CE Magnum is in Halo 5 when they added it as a power weapon

But even then, the Whispered Truth is a better pistol by virtue of being a burst fire Magnum where each shot does as much damage as the default Magnum from Halo 5

[hasty zinc]

nothing beats the H2 pistol

[jade gust]

You'd do more damage with that by throwing it at the enemy

[fickle drift]

I got no legs 😔

[zinc violet]

Anyone who speaks Spanish?

[fickle drift]

No hablo español 👍

[hasty zinc]

#español

[molten pelican]

No he can't

[fickle drift]

#español

[foggy pewter]

it's fine if you dual wield it with a plasma pistol for elite combo

only for close range tho

[foggy pewter]

there were only 3 streamers who beat halo 2 LASO deathless

might be more people now tho

there was only one ship. they call it the pillar of autumn

[bleak shoal]

Be the fourth person then :>

[steep shuttle]

Hello, i got a question
I wanted to buy a halo game/s on microsoft store. I saw the master chief collection and it interested me, but it weights a lot(136gb for a laptor user is a lot :/) and i wouldnt have time to install that much. So i thought, is it possible to install Halo 3 ONLY? without the mcc? And if i bought halo3 only, would it weight a lot less? Cuz thats the only issue for me.

[floral pollen]

You will have to install most of it, but you can choose to uninstall the other games later, there's a selection in-game for what games and MPs/campaigns you want

[steep shuttle]

So i have to buy the MCC? I can’t buy halo 3 only and it will download only that game?

[obsidian wyvern]

you can buy halo 3 itself

but

steam just lets you choose which one to install

[steep shuttle]

I’m downloading from microsoft store. There’s a big discount for halo games here

[fast raptor]

It's honestly really worth getting the whole MCC when it's on sale anyways, great value

But you do get full choice over which games you want installed

[obsidian wyvern]

wait a few days for the steam winter sale and the whole of MCC will be like $10

[steep shuttle]

The only thing that stops me from getting mcc is the space and time i would spent to download it

[peak sequoia]

Skibidi toilet is coming to Fortnite….

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah so legit just wait a few days and steam will have the sale, then you can download only halo 3

[fast raptor]

well you can think of MCC like a launcher

[steep shuttle]

So on steam, if iil buy halo 3(its marked as DLC) it will download only that game, with a way lower GB space for it?

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

also what's it's price on ms store rn

[steep shuttle]

I’m from Poland, it’s 37 PLN for mcc, 12 PLN for halo 3

Thats why i want to get it from here

[obsidian wyvern]

one sec

[steep shuttle]

For example, mcc on steam is 199 PLN

So you see a drastic difference

[steep shuttle]

So, if iil download halo 3 from steam, it will download the mcc launcher and a halo 3 for less space?

[obsidian wyvern]

just checked and it's on sale for exactly the same price on steam, when it is on sale

[steep shuttle]

Am i right? @obsidian wyvern

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm like 100% certain it does

[steep shuttle]

Ok, last question, how much gb could these take then?

50 gb?

[obsidian wyvern]

it should stay on steam, can't remember

ok halo 3 is 55gb according to steam

[steep shuttle]

How much is the mcc launcher?

[obsidian wyvern]

not sure

[steep shuttle]

Ok,thanks

[meager linden]

Good night Spartans

[unique finch]

Wait WHAT

Damn, wrong reply

[fast raptor]

Well, MCC has Halo games on it. It can load you across different games quickly

[unique finch]

God i am so sleepy lmao

[fast raptor]

oh alright

[unique finch]

My bad mate

[unique finch]

WHAT

[fast raptor]

Wait WHAT

[peak sequoia]

I’m not kidding

[fickle drift]

It's what the kids want don't you know

[unique finch]

THAT'S WHAT IM SAYIN'

[unique finch]

I mean, no yeah, it was inevitable

But i wasnt expecting it to be so fast

So this is like, basically Fortnite x Gmod?

[fast raptor]

I hope they add Warhammer to fortnite

Not because I actually care for that as a crossover I just want to see people whine

[meager linden]

Fortnite will be cooked with kids

[unique finch]

Salamander Space Marine skin...

[fickle drift]

It is kind of wild to see how enduring Gmod is.

Can't harsh on the toilet meme too hard if I liked the Idiots of Garry's Mod when I was young.

[fast raptor]

also totally not saying that because I just patched together my first batch of world eaters (painting these is gonna be a nightmare)

[unique finch]

My condolences.

[unique finch]

Yeah honestly, we've all been there

[fast raptor]

If you knew Shrek is life you're a hypocrite to speak ill of skibidi toilet

tbh that was probably... A lot worse for kids

[foggy pewter]

you can choose what to install when you buy the whole collection

it only installs halo reach by default

but you can untick that too in the DLC section

[steep shuttle]

I think i’il do that, how much gb would the launcher and halo 3 take?

[foggy pewter]

halo 3 singleplayer is only 8gb and the launcher might be around 20 gb or less

[steep shuttle]

Thats good for me then, thanks

[molten pelican]

@obsidian wyvern new episodes dropped have you seen any

[obsidian wyvern]

nah not yet

[trim saddle]

i still have a few garys mod videos favd on utube.. lol

[obsidian wyvern]

snowball mode is fun and stickies are actually registering 🫡

[trim saddle]

noice!

[fast raptor]

Wish the invasion playlist on MCC reach was more active

Probably has to do with it being ranked

[unique finch]

It sucks that the coolest gamemodes are on Ranked

Like man, i just wanna play for fun. Now if we lose everyone's gonna send me death threats

[meager linden]

Gotta need to try it

[south sundial]

There a snow ball mode in halo

That kinda stick

[meager linden]

Get stick bugged lol

[keen dock]

Brrrrrr 🥶

[foggy pewter]

my problem with halo 2 anniversary is.. visibility. I can hardly see the enemies with the crazy shadows

[meager linden]

Halo 2 jackals snipers will say "Hi" right on your head
So, be aware

[molten pelican]

Not losing hope in an ODST episode

[agile trout]

They should add a way to vote to skip maps in ranked playlists & implement stat combat records like there was in halo 5 it was awesome

[vapid siren]

good day chat

[foggy pewter]

halo 2 legendary is actually hell

[vapid siren]

if youre having a bad day you could be my job causing 17 million dollars in damages because a single truck fell out of a specified temperature range and the product whatever it is needs to be destroyed as a result

odds are its vaccines but my theory is a frozen mammoth body

[foggy pewter]

who sells bodies as a product

[viral dune]

It's easy!

Just speedrun everything

[foggy pewter]

you can take quite a few hits in CE but one shot is enough to melt you in halo 2

[meager linden]

Night

[jade gust]

Something as rare as a Mammoth's corpse would be pretty expensive, especially if it's a perfectly preserved one

[jade gust]

Is it bad that, despite me being a big fan of the Woolly Mammoth, I'd rather it be one of those ruined and not vaccines that have been damaged?

[molten pelican]

Horrible of you

[reef mulch]

I miss playing MCC on a daily basis

My Xbox overheats now

[molten pelican]

What Xbox do you have

[vapid siren]

not really that seems fair idk i just threw out a random idea when i got told about it

[jade gust]

Ah fair

[hasty zinc]

I've been waiting on a Mammoth clone for close to a decade now, WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?!

[vapid siren]

idk but did you see the Cocijo event?

free pre-engied FSDs baby

[hasty zinc]

excuse me?

[molten pelican]

Look in your mirror

[hasty zinc]

it's true

my beard is insane rn

[molten pelican]

And you've been around since the ice age

[hasty zinc]

alright

[molten pelican]

Double kill

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/cUQ3eOIyLD2.gif

[molten pelican]

You walked into that one haha

[hasty zinc]

hopefully my finger doesn't slip

[molten pelican]

Hey be careful with your arthritis

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/j0BbSbtsS0v.gif

[molten pelican]

I really enjoy halo 4

Incredible game

That was your queue to forgive me

[fickle drift]

Wow

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/bJFnW.gif

[molten pelican]

Cool so anyways how's the week going my friend

[hasty zinc]

super busy rn

[gloomy pond]

I don't understand how Stick works: most of the time plasma grenades goes swoosh! pass enemies but not pass teammates

[hasty zinc]

yours?

what do you mean, are you sticking your teammates?

[jade gust]

Gotta learn from Donut for how to throw grenades

[molten pelican]

Dynf moment fr

[fossil skiff]

Nah he drives over teammates

[gloomy pond]

Not intentional, but most the time plasma grenades do not land on enemies but sometimes it sticks on teammates

[obsidian wyvern]

what

[gloomy pond]

Its more like: it's easier to stick plasma grenades on your teammates rather than against enemies in the Snowfight playlist

It doesn't help that I played in a server I shouldn't play (but there's no other choice because my native server is a paperweight for Halo as a whole)

[hexed geyser]

im giving my 9 y/o bro H2 ,CEA & the good ol 360

[fickle drift]

W

[foggy pewter]

halo 2 legendary

[hexed geyser]

i dont think he'll be able to do legendary

[quaint canyon]

I have floodphobia unironically

Anyone else?

[fickle drift]

W

[fickle drift]

I used to when I was a kid, but to be fair they were sort of my introduction to the whole 'your entire being consumed by a parasitic entity' concept, which kind of rocked me a bit.

Now I dislike them mostly because their levels are bad.

[remote flame]

hi how is everyone

[fickle drift]

Pretty good

[remote flame]

good

[old fog]

It’s hard to find ppl wanting to play MCC campaigns

[lapis ivy]

I remember shutting down my Xbox back when I played the guilty spark mission for the first time when the flood came out lol

I was like 10 back then

[thorn raptor]

wsg yall

[molten pelican]

Keyes mission on CE always spooked me lol

[lapis ivy]

Yeah that one also freaked me out with Keyes becoming one of them

[tribal grove]

GUYS WHO'S EXCITED FOR THE NEXT HALO!? DID THAT FOUNDRY TRAILER LOOK SLICK OR WHAT'

[rare cedar]

Chill on the caps homie

But I’m much excite

[past tinsel]

Hello. I still think HS could take a shot at porting Halo 5 to PC.

[lethal sand]

HW2 has the weirdest bugs

first it was a weird crash

then it was a glitched out texture

and now theres no more audio

what??

[jade gust]

If I still have the clip, I'll share it here but once I had a unit that was moving like The Flash across the map

[granite sky]

if ur speaking of the foliage glitching out try disabling foliage in ur settings

[lethal sand]

no like

I have the screenshot

[storm trout]

Nice to see 343 forgetting to disable vehicles in the snowball mode

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 2 moment

[obsidian wyvern]

anyone using them is the freest kill ever

[storm trout]

Still it ruined the whole purpose of the mode

Why even release a mode that you can use vehicles knowing it’s supposed to be a snowball fight

[celest gate]

Controversial theory: 343 said forerunners aren't humans because they likely wanted to say that forerunners and humans were part of the same GENUS or FAMILY

[hasty zinc]

ngl a snowball fight IRL with vehicles sounds hella fun

[jade gust]

Catch me doing a drive by with a super soaker in that fight

[pliant jewel]

dang I thought they were the souls/spirits of humans

[undone drum]

So forerunners are advanced chimps?

[celest gate]

no they're essentially SIBLINGS to humans as a species

[undone drum]

So chimps

[fickle drift]

I like them being a different species. I don't like humanity having previously been an advanced society akin to them.

[halcyon mica]

Nah, we're gonna finish it. 😏

[somber tusk]

is anyone in the eu still playing Halo Infinite lol? I've been trying to find games for 3 days now in quickplay, arena obj, even btb and i can't find any after 9pm. Only option is to do extended search but the ping is worse than it's ever been, i used to get games around 100 on east US servers and now is mainly 150 ping

it makes me sad but i think it might be gg for me...

[foggy pewter]

cairo station took me over an hour

[pliant hatch]

did a new one come out?

[rustic sun]

Question

[molten pelican]

15

[rustic sun]

How to play Noble 6 as a female

[molten pelican]

Noble 6 isn't a female

[rustic sun]

I just noticed this just now

[fickle drift]

If you change your body / voice type in customisation that'll be reflected in the Campaign.

[molten pelican]

That he's a male?

[rustic sun]

Yeah but there's a female varient of him you can play at the campaign

[rustic sun]

Got it thx

[molten pelican]

Oh I misunderstood lol

[rustic sun]

Time to replay Halo reach again

[molten pelican]

Yeah you can change your appearance and it will show up in campaign it's pretty neat

[fossil skiff]

Brb bolting 3 CIWS onto a flatbed truck and doing a drive by snow balling

[covert dove]

[rustic sun]

Noble 6 female is kinda curse ngl

[abstract surge]

Time for the second Warden Eternal bossfight on Legendary lol

[sharp aurora]

my canon version

[tight remnant]

Easy if you know what to do

[slim sequoia]

i need me a channel to post screenies in, just finished a game with 5 PLAYERS on my team (one being a bot) he was mad bugged standing afk, running around clueless, absolutely in his own world

[thorn raptor]

Hypothetically if Master Chief gets K.I.A, who’ll replace him?

[molten pelican]

Me

[strong jacinth]

i figured it'd be Fred or maybe locke

[reef mulch]

Hello

[tough iron]

It would probably Kelly or The Inquisitor

[signal wedge]

Jerome

People here hate that idea but it makes no sense to be anyone else

[tender oyster]

Same

I thought Jerome, too

I love Jerome

[tender oyster]

Will we ever get a Halo game based on the Battle for Earth?

[smoky token]

Halo 2, 3, 3: ODST?

[hasty zinc]

lol

[tender oyster]

lol

Forgot 💀

Idk how tf I forgot abt those games 😭

[frosty siren]

[signal wedge]

Spartan Assault is my favourite Halo

[frosty siren]

is that the halo with the werid pov and it is quite diffvuilt overall?

welp ima listen to music to help me sleep since its 10:30 pm

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[fickle drift]

Morning spartan

[slim sequoia]

we need BRs back in ranked tactical, this current gun is not it, also while we're at it, completely remake the rank system, seems very bad

[verbal nymph]

I miss when Halo had really good trailers like Landfall, Believe, Deliver Hope, etc

Those trailers were peak

[verbal nymph]

Halo 4 doesn't deserve all the hate. It's not perfect, but it's not a bad game, and I enjoy playing it

[wheat ridge]

its better than halo 3 tbh

[verbal nymph]

That depends on what genre you prefer, since one is first person and one is top down

[split kestrel]

Sooooo

Hero when?

[chrome jolt]

Hello i need help with this question.
So currently my brother and i are on high charity on laso we did everything together except the heretic and i found out today that he wont get the achievement even if we kill tarturus,do we have to restart the whole playlist or we can just get him to do the heretic mission with another acc than mine then we can comeback to doing the last 2 missions and both get the achievement ? It took us 10h to get there so it'd be nice if we dont need to restart the whole playlist

[obsidian wyvern]

you guys didn't do the first 2 levels?

[chrome jolt]

I did the heretic mission alone because i forgot to invite him so pretty dumb on my part but we did everything together from cairo station to uprising,so do you think we can just get him to start some1's else playlist from the start so he can just do heretic or do we have to restart everything on my playlist ?i'm the host

[obsidian wyvern]

ok so the way it works iirc is that you both have to do the heretic and armory alone before finishing the playlist

actually no you can be fine

this should work, your brother alone restarts his playlist and does those 2 missions, then he joins you and you complete high charity together

if you haven't done the armory yourself, you then restart your playlist (making sure that his playlist has updated to where he can play the final mission), do the heretic and armory again and join him

basically you can pull one another to the last 2 missions, so that you don't have to redo the entire playlist

[hybrid perch]

could someone log onto snowball fight? only 800 total steam players on infinite rn, been sitting in queue for almost 10 min

[chrome jolt]

We did that but he's missing one mission still, it was on his playlist so i think he gotta do it on some1's else playlist that considering he was never the host but not sure, it was in coop btw but maybe being alone would work

[chrome jolt]

Do you know if he has to do heretic in coop considering we did everything in coop or the 1st mission is fine alone ?

[obsidian wyvern]

he has to do the first 2 missions alone or it won't give the achievement

which is heretic and armory, just before Cairo

[chrome jolt]

It'd explain why i got the progress but not him we'll try that thanks

[obsidian wyvern]

good luck

[chrome jolt]

What do you think could be the issue if it doesnt work ?

We 1000000% did everything else together

[obsidian wyvern]

99% sure that is the issue

[sage geyser]

Pretty sure you just have to go back and do that mission and continue on from there.

But that mission is a hard one…

[obsidian wyvern]

if need be, I am running through laso again so in a few days time I might be able to get back to high charity to pull him

seems like I'm not getting all MCC achievements this year though, left it too late 😔

well I could if I put in like 8 hours a day but no

[sage geyser]

I think I got all the achievements the first time these games came out. Got the rarer ones later on.

Some of them are impossible for some people

[obsidian wyvern]

I've only got halo ce and 2 laso achievements left but Cairo without Johnson is just hell

dude despawned on me as I got a checkpoint 😩

[chrome jolt]

I tried doing it solo but game kept crashing so i gave up

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 2 crashes very often for me

[sage geyser]

I just noob combo the whole way. And make use of the marines when I can.

[chrome jolt]

Only halo 2 does that for me so no way i'm doing Slaso when my game can just middle finger me anytime

[obsidian wyvern]

yea same

I got to the arbiter and my entire progress reset to Cairo

[sage geyser]

Geezus

That is awful

[obsidian wyvern]

mmm, id probably be done with MCC by now if that didn't happen lol

[foggy pewter]

remember reach

[chrome jolt]

In coop it wasnt that bad ngl, we took 2h30 on both cairo station and gravemind,2h on regret and the rest was sub 30 besides a couple
P.S idk how people can do prison on laso coop,we did the prison and it was way easier with the right settings

[foggy pewter]

cairo without johnson is fine lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

I thought you haven't done laso

[sage geyser]

Oddly enough the flood levels are the easiest when you have a battle rifle. Chest shots to the red antenna kills the flood no matter how much health they have.

[foggy pewter]

oh I didn't read the laso part

[foggy pewter]

so it's the shotgun from CE

I'm not looking forward to gravemind

[sage geyser]

Shotgun helps

[obsidian wyvern]

gravemind on legendary itself is a pita

[sage geyser]

But battle rifles are more common and shoots faster

[foggy pewter]

halo 2 shotgun is crap

[sage geyser]

Well it’s a point blank weapon.

And most enemies you really don’t want close to you 😂

[foggy pewter]

except CE shotgun was hella effective

[sage geyser]

CRAZY well done

Best range

[foggy pewter]

legendary without shotgun against the flood kinda sucks

[obsidian wyvern]

you can survive if you've got magnum and a ton of carrier forms to blow em up

[foggy pewter]

halo 2 smg is worthless

[sage geyser]

Not if you carry 3 of them and crouch when you fire

Bullet hoses

[verbal nymph]

If you're new to esports, how do you know what team to root for?

[foggy pewter]

why do people complain about the anniversary music and sounds when there's an option in the mission select screen where you can choose to hear the original music and sounds by default?

[sage geyser]

Honestly halo music is good all around. It doesn’t matter which one. It’s all 10/10

[verbal nymph]

Dual Wielding killed the usefulness of several weapons

[foggy pewter]

I prefer the original sound effects

[foggy pewter]

single smg still sucks

[verbal nymph]

I know, I'm saying weapons have to be bad if they can be dual wielded, otherwise dual wielding them would be overpowered

[foggy pewter]

also double plasma pistol. and the fact you bring multiple weapons by juggling and dual wielding, which is pretty essential for legendary

[obsidian wyvern]

pretty sure the only time i had to dual wield was first room of gravemind

didnt have to do any of that for anything else

[foggy pewter]

calling halo 2 a "timeless masterpiece" is kinda crazy. it's not terrible but it's not even great

[obsidian wyvern]

crazy that a timeless masterpiece isn't the same to everyone 😱

[frosty siren]

Neediler exist

[verbal nymph]

They only made it good in Halo 3 because they stopped it from being dual wieldable anymore

[frosty siren]

It was sad....

[sharp aurora]

the needler sucks in infinite bro

[obsidian wyvern]

the needler is great in infinite wdym

[sharp aurora]

maybe I just suck then

I can never get kills with it

[obsidian wyvern]

legit don't need to aim with this one like you did with the previous ones

[verbal nymph]

Do Blamite crystals taste like Pop Rocks?

[sharp aurora]

I’m about to find out

[verbal nymph]

Unrelated, but I need a new jaw now

[jade gust]

I don't think I've ever had an encounter in Infinite where the Needler's been useless. If anything, people don't respect how good it is

Like, the thing is fantastic in PvE modes against bosses yet nobody seems to use it for them

Not to mention it's a great anti Hunter weapon

[sharp aurora]

I’m talking about pvp

[jade gust]

Which is a welcome change from previous iterations where it was basically useless against them

My point stands, people don't respect it in PvP

[foggy pewter]

meh blinded by nostalgia or multiplayer

[verbal nymph]

Will they ever make gloves and knees cross core?

[foggy pewter]

I can think of at least 20 other games that are better than halo 2

[sharp aurora]

Probably not

[verbal nymph]

It sounds easy to implement though

[foggy pewter]

needler sucks if you spam it

[obsidian wyvern]

what

[jade gust]

Do you know how to use a close range SMG type weapon at all?

[obsidian wyvern]

lmfao

[foggy pewter]

I mean it has a homing thing so firing like one shot at a time and slowly picking off enemies is better

[obsidian wyvern]

the whole point of the needler is to just full auto and get as many needles in to blow them up

???? you have to be trolling

[jade gust]

Gloves present less of an issue in regards to clipping, which is why I still hope for cross core gloves to happen. Knees I'm not banking on given how some kneepads are designed to fit specifically on certain armour cores

[jade gust]

Surely you can't be serious?

The Needler is anything but the weapon you use by firing one shot at a time

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah bro let me just snipe them with my needler one sec

[foggy pewter]

needler is effective against elites if you peak on a corner and fire one shot at a time

[verbal nymph]

I want the Needle Rifle back

[foggy pewter]

needler has homing

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/why-annoyed-eye-roll-really-gif-25602660

[jade gust]

Or you could just hold down the trigger and supercombine them, which most the time will kill an Elite

And if not, leave it weak

[foggy pewter]

they can move bro

[sharp aurora]

there’s so many weapons I want to see come back 🥲

[foggy pewter]

why aren't you just using smg then?

[steady jolt]

There was a very short time, pre-launch, the needler was INSANITY 😂
I'd love to see those settings in a mini game or something

[jade gust]

I like the idea of positioning it as an in-between a Carbine and a Beam Rifle within the sandbox in terms of power

[obsidian wyvern]

and they still track bRo

[jade gust]

And like you have brought up a few times, it has homing

[foggy pewter]

if you're not taking advantage of the homing part of the needler and firing it like an automatic rifle then why not use a rifle?

[obsidian wyvern]

that would be fun to see, I honestly think it's the best base needler any game has had

[jade gust]

I don't always have an SMG when I'm playing the game

[obsidian wyvern]

nah slip we're being trolled right

[foggy pewter]

you always have a needler?

[jade gust]

Because the Needler is an SMG with homing... You're meant to be firing it in full auto

[foggy pewter]

except when I fire it in full auto it does zero damage

[obsidian wyvern]

Jason 1v1 needlers only rn

you use it your way I'll use it my way

[foggy pewter]

nah bro I suck at pvp

[jade gust]

I wouldn't be surprised

Side note, are you still seeing me being called SlipstreamTechnician here on Discord, or are you sticking with "Slip" because you're used to calling me that?

[foggy pewter]

I saw a legendary guide where they shoot the needler one needle at a time at an elite and it works better

[jade gust]

That sounds like a terrible guide

[foggy pewter]

it just works

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm too used to it ig lol, it's a problem I have with most people who change names

I'll think about it more before typing lol 🫡

[sharp aurora]

ok Todd Howard

[foggy pewter]

trust the process

[jade gust]

You fire it in full auto to get a supercombine, which is where the needles blow up, it takes 7-8 needles to get this

[jade gust]

No worries, I was just a little confused

[foggy pewter]

by the time the needles travel to him, he's already dodged behind cover

[jade gust]

Do you try to fire every automatic weapon the same way?

[obsidian wyvern]

then why fire one needle you're contradicting yourself

[foggy pewter]

he doesn't notice you if you fire one at a time

[jade gust]

Like if I handed you an assault rifle in CE, would you be squeezing the trigger to let off one shot at a time instead of firing it in full auto?

[obsidian wyvern]

I would like to tell you that you are playing halo incorrectly lol

[foggy pewter]

I mean assault rifle in CE is kinda useless against flood lmao I shot a whole 60 bullet mag and he's still not dead

[obsidian wyvern]

use them on popcorn

and it really isn't tbf

[jade gust]

I'm not asking about how effective it is against Flood, I was asking how you use the weapon in general

Like, if you're trying to use the Needler like a semi-auto weapon, I have to know if you're doing the same with all other full auto weapons

[foggy pewter]

well I do spam it but it doesn't have homing so yea

[obsidian wyvern]

crying here

[foggy pewter]

I don't fire smg full auto cuz the recoil is insane

[obsidian wyvern]

i cannot kill the last 2 elites that come down

[wild sleet]

So controller the recoil

[obsidian wyvern]

^

[jade gust]

Aye, you need to learn how to control recoil

[foggy pewter]

cairo station again?

[jade gust]

Which is part of the fun with SMGs

[obsidian wyvern]

yes I had to restart

[foggy pewter]

I did play COD lmao

[jade gust]

I hated that part on legendary, glad I'm not insane enough to try LASO

[foggy pewter]

I can control recoil but smg is still useless

[obsidian wyvern]

recoil isn't a huge issue in cod with how fast the ttk is

[foggy pewter]

also plama rifle shoots faster when in bursts

[jade gust]

The SMG is not useless if you know how to use it properly, it's a weapon meant for closer ranges

Not to mention the travel time of the SMG projectile is faster than a Plasma Rifle's

[foggy pewter]

which will never happen on legendary

[jade gust]

Burn down the shields using a plasma weapon, SMG them after

[foggy pewter]

if you're in close range, you're already dead

[jade gust]

Are you fighting Elites with swords in CQC?

[obsidian wyvern]

sniping them with the sword no doubt

[jade gust]

Let me just throw the gravity hammer like a javelin

[sharp aurora]

you guys don’t use a scope on your energy sword?

[wild sleet]

Nah I slap on a ACOG on that sword anyday

[normal owl]

6x/10x thermal scope only

[jade gust]

When do we get to use the Mongoose as a melee weapon?

[foggy pewter]

no

[normal owl]

he could, he can flip warthogs easily, so a mongoose would be an easy melee weapon.

[obsidian wyvern]

why did I expect a yes

[wild sleet]

If we can flip an elephant we can throw a Scarab

[foggy pewter]

even tho the halo 2 pistol is useless it still takes out grunts before you run out of the clip

[jade gust]

I was making a reference to when Adrianna uses one to fight Grunts in Cole Protocol

[jade gust]

Aim for the head, you can still get headshots

[wild sleet]

Noob Combo with the Magnum

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/dodgeball-ouch-gif-5375951

[foggy pewter]

shayde turrets:

[jade gust]

Throw grenades to destroy the turret

[foggy pewter]

halo 2 grenade arc is weird compared to ce

[queen remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/simply-a-difference-skill-simply-a-difference-in-skill-gif-21335337

[foggy pewter]

altho it might be due to me not using the centered crosshair

[obsidian wyvern]

isn't 2 the only one with a centered crosshair

everything else is lower iirc, could be wrong

[foggy pewter]

centered crosshair was not introduced until halo 4

or halo 5 I forgot

[obsidian wyvern]

pretty sure 4 is the same as 3

[foggy pewter]

then it was halo 5

I just heard a female marine say "he's cute for a cyborg" lmao

[fallen ocean]

Guys have i got a w banner?

[rare cedar]

That was a good scene

So yes

[chrome jolt]

@obsidian wyvern so i did the 1st 2 missions on my bro's acc solo,didnt work so then i did heretic in another's acc playlist, didnt work so i think another mission didnt count for him and i found out he had this issue before regret

Do you know what else could be the issue on why he's at 12/15 on the laso playlist whereas i'm at 13/15 ,we're at high charity rn

[viral dune]

Ohhhh I had that exact same issue

Get someone to pull you to one of the final missions, as long as it's not Gravemind you'll be good (and even if you get pulled to Gravemind, it's easier on co-op)

Then just complete the rest of the playlist

[obsidian wyvern]

nah but his problem is not knowing which mission is causing it

[chrome jolt]

It was before regret for sure

[covert dove]

[fickle drift]

Yo is there any recent news about the next halo game

Or what's going on with the Halo in general

[chrome jolt]

It was cairo station,we got it down

We're both at 13/15

If we dont get it the achievement still idk

[edgy osprey]

Halo 3 remaster 2025

[fickle drift]

Fr?

[edgy osprey]

No

[strange hinge]

Hi there.

[fickle drift]

Lovely

[jade gust]

Multiple projects are in development within UE5, as per the demo we got back at HCS. Outside of that, we've got another operation for Infinite next month and I assume more on the way to tide us over until the next game is ready

[fickle drift]

That's a relief honestly

I don't want this franchise to die out

And we all really want them to do the next game properly

I feel like they are actually trying now

[jade gust]

Well the swap to UE5 is gonna help make things go smoother at least since they won't need to focus on making an entire engine

But they definitely were trying with the previous games

[fickle drift]

Did they mention anything about the next game? New story or?

[jade gust]

No specifics about the next game have been talked about

I can say what I hope the next game does but that's not news and is just me listing what I want

[fickle drift]

I'm pretty sure they learned from their mistakes

From Halo infinite

[jade gust]

Plenty of Infinite's issues stem from things outside of the dev team's control

Anyway, I just hope Halo 7 or whatever it's called picks up from where Infinite left off, be a shame to abandon the Endless storyline for the sake of a fresh start

[heavy crane]

Why did they combine the community maps with the arena playlists in quick play? I don’t want to play community forge maps unless I actively choose to search for them, but now they are mixed in with the dev maps and I don’t have a choice

[fickle drift]

They can't really afford to mess the next game up

They do that and everything comes down falling on them

[jade gust]

I've heard people say that since back before Halo 5 released

[fickle drift]

And if the same company tries to start a whole other franchise

No one would really trust them

Like fully

[fickle drift]

Yeah but now they are in a really really bad position

[jade gust]

You do know that 343/Halo Studios exists specifically to make Halo, right? Like their whole thing is just Halo stuff, they're not making other franchises

[fickle drift]

As far as I've understood

[fickle drift]

I only know that they make Halo so ye

[jade gust]

Why were you suggesting they'd try making another franchise?

[fickle drift]

Nah I'm saying like if they attempt to

None would trust them

[heavy crane]

They can’t. They were created by Microsoft specifically to make halo

[fickle drift]

Not saying they should make another franchise

[heavy crane]

Also for all of infinite’s problems I am quite sure it was still a very profitable game

[fickle drift]

Ye people are still putting money into it

Loads of money

[jade gust]

I think had they been able to properly support it in that first year, it would've been in a better position, but with the addition of things like the MA5K Avenger and the mention of the team looking for forge maps suited for Invasion in a recent blog post, I imagine they're gonna give the game some nice additions at the very least before they finish support

[strange hinge]

"Invasion maps" has me very curious.

[heavy crane]

That blog post also asked for halo 5 content. Looking forward to a halo 5 anniversary playlist in infinite next year when it turns ten

[strange hinge]

If I may ask: I haven't played Guardians in a good while, what was that "Warzone" mode like?

[heavy crane]

Warzone was kind of like a large scale BTB that also had AI enemies you could get score from. PvPvE. It also had the requisition weapon variants and you’d essentially unlock stronger weapon variants in the match as you scored

[strange hinge]

Ah.

[amber mirage]

I imagine it was profitable, but not too profitable. If it was really profitable, they most likely wouldn't be looking into new projects.

[molten pelican]

Like titanfall attrition

[heavy crane]

I think it was probably the most profitable halo to date. But the population cratered. They’re not going to sit on this game forever with all of its problems and a low population. There is more profit potential with a new game done well

[molten pelican]

I'm curious as to what halo
Game was the most profitable

Staying consistent with inflation

[heavy crane]

I would guess infinite in a landslide due to the f2p microtransaction model

[molten pelican]

Right, I mean copies sold perhaps

[heavy crane]

Kind of an irrelevant metric now with gamepass

[amber mirage]

And f2p

[molten pelican]

Yeah

Personally I don't love F2P but infinite is probably one of the best you could get

[heavy crane]

I have over 2500 hours in game and have spent hundreds of dollars on it but never actually bought it

[fickle drift]

I'm assuming you got Hero Rank on infinite

Is it worth it?

[heavy crane]

I actually don’t yet because of how long it took them to add the career rank. I had played over 5k matches before they even put it in the game lol. Plus I mostly play ranked which isn’t very good for xp. I’m almost to hero now with ~9k matches played

Whether it’s worth it just depends on whether you love playing halo or not. I wouldn’t grind it if I didn’t have fun

If you want to grind it out I suggest btb and firefight for better xp gains

[fickle drift]

I'm doing firefight

Collecting around 3000 XP

I'm trying to push up the XP

[heavy crane]

If you mostly play firefight it shouldn’t take nearly as long as it has for me

[fickle drift]

I did calculate it, if I play 60 games a day which is a nightmare and collect 3000-4000 xp

It should take me around a month

Or 2 months

Basically in a day I gotta collect around 100k XP

[heavy crane]

Idk if I would force it like that. That’s basically doing nothing but playing halo. I just play and I’ll get there when I get there

I’m about 90% of the way there

[fickle drift]

I'm still having a self debate whether I should do it or not lol

I got doubts for days

I'm just imagining myself getting to it then the next week I find out the new halo game is coming

[heavy crane]

We aren’t gonna get the next halo game for a good while. You’ve got time to just play at a normal pace and not force it

[fickle drift]

Alrighty

I'll be heading off now

Yall have a good day and take care

[foggy pewter]

halo 2 legendary isn't that hard if you follow halo completionist's guide and skip some sections lol

don't fight a war you can't win, as they say

[obsidian wyvern]

headhunter is better for xp

[foggy pewter]

how did lord hood know that "the ship that destroyed reach was 50x this size"?

[hasty zinc]

the fleet*

[jade gust]

And he's read reports

[hasty zinc]

how many ships attacked Reach vs how many ships showed up to earth

https://tenor.com/bs99W.gif

[jade gust]

Like, if you're in charge of defending Earth and the big military bastion of the stars was just wiped out by a large fleet, you're gonna want to know how big it was to prepare for it, so he is gonna be surprised when a significantly smaller fleet shows up to attack Earth

[restive yarrow]

can't we just have normal invasion in mcc instead of whatever slop is coming to infinite?

[hasty zinc]

@hazy spindle we do not allow advertising of tournaments that have fees to enter, etc.

[jade gust]

Invasion is already in MCC yes, but that doesn't mean Halo Studios can't add it into Infinite. Not sure why you think it's gonna be "slop" though given we don't know anything about if and how Invasion will play in the game

[restive yarrow]

i mean that it should move to the casual playlist

otherwise its as good as non existent in mcc

[jade gust]

Ok

That doesn't explain your "slop" comment though

[restive yarrow]

they already confirmed that playable elites are not coming

whats even the point of invasion gamemode then

it was fun in reach EXACTLY because there was unbalance between both teams

[obsidian wyvern]

how is that fun

[restive yarrow]

different character modes, different weapons, different shield values (i think)

[jade gust]

So the lack of Elites is why you think it would be "slop"

[obsidian wyvern]

elites are slop

[restive yarrow]

you do know that assymetrical games exist right?

the balance there isnt equal but its 100 times more fun than a perfectly balanced game

[jade gust]

Halo's had asymmetrical modes before that didn't require Elites; One Flag CTF, One Bomb Assault and Warzone Assault are the main examples I can think of

[restive yarrow]

sure, but invasion is just special

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't have the elite video on my phone 😔

[restive yarrow]

brining it to infinite without elites would make it no better than every other mode

[restive yarrow]

i know that they have different hitboxes

[jade gust]

In fact, specifically with Warzone Assault, it may as well have been called Invasion because it's very similar in structure to how Invasion works

[lapis ivy]

The one with the sound effects or different video?

[restive yarrow]

i hated this gamemode back in the day ngl

either way, its much easier to just add 6v6 into the casual matchmaking than to make new maps and game modes for infinite

[true sun]

I'm looking for casual players too play halo 3 reach and others with where would be a good place too look?

[restive yarrow]

without elites no one is going to play it, but the mcc invasion was so legendary in 2020-2021 that bringing it back would also bring a lot of players back

[foggy pewter]

he was on reach?

[restive yarrow]

there is a channel for party searching

[true sun]

Thankyou kind sir

[foggy pewter]

if halo 2 was made with better technology and with more time, bungie would've made a masterpiece

[jade gust]

No, Hood wasn't. That doesn't mean he wouldn't have access to things like reports explaining what happened on Reach

[jade gust]

I think you're overselling how important to Invasion the Elites were

Like yes, they are part of the mode's identity, but they are not required for the mode to work

[restive yarrow]

they created the atmosphere that warzone simply never had

and also contributed to the assymetrical design of the invasion game mode

they are VERY important

[jade gust]

You don't need a different player character to make a good asymmetrical mode

[restive yarrow]

oh and people absolutely loved getting various armor for the elites there

[restive yarrow]

you absolutely need that, imagine that in a game like dbd instead of a killer chasing survivors, it would be another survivor mode chasing them

this wouldnt feel the same at all

[jade gust]

Dead By Daylight is a completely different genre of game to Halo

It's entire design is around killers vs survivors

Halo's multiplayer is for the most part, about two teams going at one another on as equal terms as possible. Yes there are asymmetrical modes like Invasion and One Flag CTF, but they things that make those asymmetrical are the same things as Dead By Daylight

Like, one flag is about one team attacking the other team to get their flag without having to worry about defending their own flag

That's completely different to Dead By Daylight

The closest we ever get to DBD in Halo would be Infection, but that's simply because of the unbalanced members on the teams

[strange hinge]

I wouldn't be against Invasion personally. Would I like it if Elites somehow came in alongside it? Probably. But is it a deal breaker if they're more absent than the will of a McDonald's employee to use the ice cream machine? Eh, not really.

And besides, the status of playable Elites with Infinite is more of just a "eh.... ah... oof... um..." than a hard no from how I understand it.

[obsidian wyvern]

u can't compare dbd to this lol

[strange hinge]

Speaking of DBD, The Clown was my favorite killer.

I played him before he got his rework and I never understood why so many people in that community called him trash.

He was fun.

[meager linden]

Good night Spartans

[jade gust]

Exactly. The main comparable things between Halo and Dead By Daylight is that they're both games... And that's kinda it

[strange hinge]

A Halo Chapter for Dead By Daylight would be kinda cool tho. Imagine it... "The Flood" as the killer and Sergeant Johnson(or maybe an ODST like Rookie) as the survivor?

[fickle drift]

Jason Voorhees

[strange hinge]

I've been waiting for that man to come to the game for years now.

[jade gust]

Problem with the Flood is they wouldn't really work in that context. It's why if we do get a Halo horror game, I'd rather the "big monster" be a cloaked Stealth Elite hunting down civilians

[strange hinge]

That's fair. But what if that's the case, then who would work the best as a killer for a Halo DBD chapter?

Jega?

[jade gust]

Probably

Like, not all the killers need to be some crazy powerful entity. Sure they have Dracula from Castlevania but aren't a few of them just some guy

[strange hinge]

Like the Legion, yeah.

[jade gust]

I'm gonna assume not related to Legion from Mass Effect. I'll admit that I've only seen a few things about DBD like how the Xenomorph is in there

[strange hinge]

Oh, the Legion in DBD is basically just a bunch of teenagers in masks(think Ghostface).

[jade gust]

Ah, yeah that makes sense

[strange hinge]

I remember I used to watch this VS series called "Fan War"(it was basically a low budget Death Battle series) and they did an episode on the Xenomorphs vs The Flood.

And their verdict was that the Xenomorphs win. I just had unlocked a memory.

Death Battle recently had a "rematch vote" poll after that whole kickstarter thing happened. People could vote for one out of the three matchups to win... and "Master Chief vs Doom Slayer" was the winning vote.

Anyone have any thoughts on that?

[foggy pewter]

can hackers ban you from mcc?

[strange hinge]

I don't have an answer to that question but someone else might.

But you might be able to find an answer from Halo Support or the GAMES channel(but I'm not an expert so I wouldn't take those words over anyone else's words).

Pair it with Typescript if you get the chance, little bit more of a learning curve but the end result is much better

react uses JavaScript right

[bronze breach]

I'll attempt react once I get this headache of a project out the way

[obsidian wyvern]

Nope, irl

yea but it's not enabled

[molten pelican]

Driving through on legendary gets annoying ngl

I'm finishing up halo 3 legendary with a buddy, feels a lot easier than reach, part of it because of two people and part of it because halo 3 isn't a hard game in general, but I imagine h2 legendary with a Buddy is worse than solo

regret is just as bad when it comes to the boss fight

I see

Il probably take the slow approach tbh

Use as many skips as I can

[obsidian wyvern]

regret is kinda fast paced

you can't really stand still in the boss fight because of all the elite guards

[lapis ivy]

Rev you play MCC on steam or Microsoft Xbox app on PC?

Cause when I play MCC on steam my controller stops navigating on steam after quitting MCC or ark survival ascended lol

[molten pelican]

You have to enter into big picture mode

With the startup video and stuff

[lapis ivy]

I'm in big picture mode but the rest i don't know @molten pelican

I set it up in start in big picture mode in the settings

Btw

[obsidian wyvern]

nah I don't

[lapis ivy]

On both?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I don't play on either

[lapis ivy]

Oh ok then it's probably on Xbox

[obsidian wyvern]

sorta lol

[fickle drift]

Rev you’re the number one user of xcloud from anyone I’ve seen

[amber mirage]

Yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

probably

[molten pelican]

Fr lol

What device do you use it on

[obsidian wyvern]

me being lazy to switch on my Xbox or build a pc just makes me use it sm

[obsidian wyvern]

my laptop

[molten pelican]

Is there input delay

[amber mirage]

One of these is significantly easier than the other

[molten pelican]

For rev, they go hand in hand

[obsidian wyvern]

I agree picking parts is easier than going downstairs and switching it on

[fickle drift]

smh

[obsidian wyvern]

I only use it for Titanfall and I haven't touched that in weeks

[molten pelican]

I'm building a new one in a couple months il let you play xcloud on it Rev

I am not the person to be commenting on this

[foggy pewter]

is that isaac clarke btw

[obsidian wyvern]

yep

[foggy pewter]

I just beat dead space 2 on normal after 1 year

[lapis ivy]

I think when my controller gets stuck and stops navigating on steam after playing MCC is probably a glitch cause I always play on big picture mode

[minor apex]

Am I the only one who hates fighting someone with a cindershot?

When they have one I mean

[molten pelican]

So is the impaled doll gone forever lol

[obsidian wyvern]

probably not

idk I just changed it randomly

[molten pelican]

I like people knowing what I look like irl so ive kept mine for a while now

[bleak shoal]

Is that safe?

[molten pelican]

only if you look incredibly intimidating and tough so no one will want to mess with you

I've decided that my contributions to the #Halo scene conclude here, for now.

Going away for a while to focus on recovering my health and finding work. See you all next year.

Thank you to all that supported my & our work on #Digsite, it was a great journey.

[hybrid perch]

they are pretty big for halo it seems, they have as many followers as infinite has steam players

[fickle drift]

Did fantastic work for the Digsite projects, wishing the best for him.

[split kestrel]

I keep getting ghost pinged

[rare cedar]

It was in your clan recruitment post

User deleted their message

[split kestrel]

It's the second time its happened

[hasty zinc]

it happens

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rare cedar]

@brisk terrace try typing here plz

[brisk terrace]

Okay.

It works here?

[rare cedar]

Hmm, weird

[verbal nymph]

I always thought the Carbine was too similar to the BR, so that's a good idea

[jade gust]

I never had an issue with the Carbine having similarities to the BR, but I think if we were to get another game featuring the Needle Rifle, it would need to be a bit more unique than it already is to really stand out

Like, I'm hoping that we see a bunch of weapons return in the next game, like the Carbine, so if that game features say, the Carbine, Stalker Rifle and the Needle Rifle, they'd need to do something to make each feel unique enough

Plus Infinite features three precision UNSC/human rifles with the BR, Bandit and Commando

[verbal nymph]

Bandit and DMR are really similar to the Carbine, idk if they can coexist

They both have about the same fire rate and are both single shot precision weapons, the only real difference is one is plasma

[rare cedar]

There’s a cooldown timer in all clan channels, which is why your messages are being deleted.

[jade gust]

They co-existed in Halo 4 and 5

Which featured the Light Rifle and BR too

[verbal nymph]

I consider the Halo 4 DMR to just kind of be leftovers from Reach

[fickle drift]

Carbine has a faster firerate and lower damage per shot.

[naive sparrow]

speaking of dead space, isn't that game kind of like halo?

[verbal nymph]

A bit but not really

Dead Space focuses more on horror than being a shooter

Also, I hope Halo brings back horror

[naive sparrow]

Imagine if issac clarke and master chief met each other though

[hasty zinc]

they can, in fortnite

[naive sparrow]

huh

[verbal nymph]

Have you heard that Fortnite is adding Skibidi Toilet to their game?

[naive sparrow]

NO GOD PLEASE NO

Isn't there a movie of that coming out too?

[fickle drift]

Haven't seen anything officially announced. Not that it'd surprise me since Fortnite is already a pop-culture blender.

[naive sparrow]

I already suffer from brainrot

[verbal nymph]

Which Xbox console was your first Xbox console?

[hasty zinc]

xbox

[verbal nymph]

Mine was the Xbox 360 S

[naive sparrow]

I've never had an xbox before

[verbal nymph]

Oh, you were introduced to Halo from PC?

[naive sparrow]

yes

well, I have played xbox

[fickle drift]

The matte black 360 S, though I did play on my buddy's original Xbox first.

[verbal nymph]

I play MCC exclusively on PC now

[naive sparrow]

but not at home

[verbal nymph]

I started on Xbox though

[naive sparrow]

there's this student in my class who brings an xbox 360 to school and he has halo on it and a couple others

[verbal nymph]

My middle school used to have an Xbox 360 S with a Kinect sensor that the kids would play Kinect Adventures on in the cafeteria

[naive sparrow]

can't have halo 2 or 4 sadly because they're a 16.

[proven relic]

What's a 16?

[naive sparrow]

wat

[fickle drift]

I'm assuming its the PEGI rating, the UK's equivelant to the ESRB

[naive sparrow]

16+ I meant.

[proven relic]

Oh

[fickle drift]

Which is confusing for a different reason since all of the Halo games are 16+? The fps titles anyway.

[naive sparrow]

It's funny how halo ce and halo 3 are a 15+ while 2 and 4 are 16+

[proven relic]

That's wierd in America all Halo games are 18+ except for halo 5 and infinite

[naive sparrow]

wait what? Halo is an 18+ in America?

[proven relic]

Yup

[naive sparrow]

that sounds like something Australia would do since they're strict on games.

[fickle drift]

I thought M for Mature was 17+. Which isn't too different.

[olive ravine]

Heyy I have to study, can someone take my mind off that

[naive sparrow]

left 4 dead is rated Mature 17+ while it looks okay for 14 year olds to play.

[fickle drift]

Also this is bizarre, the launch H3 is a 15 as if it has a Film age rating but the Classics and Platinum Collection re-releases are 16+ 🥴

[candid solar]

It's why a lot of (Very dumb) Halo fans tended to complain a lot about how 5 and Infinite were 'made less mature' due to the rating change.

[tough iron]

Hi

[candid solar]

When it's more that the rating system's window shifted. Most Halo fans are American, after all.

[proven relic]

There's also no swears in the campaign

[naive sparrow]

halo isn't even that brutal

well if you kill the marines then yes that is quite brutal from the way they scream

[jade gust]

Weird way of looking at it. But the fact it carried over into Halo 5 showed the devs thought it could co-exist alongside the other precision weapons seen in that game too

[tough iron]

Hi

[candid solar]

There was never that much swearing in the first place.

[jade gust]

Halo has never really been horror

[fickle drift]

The opening encounter of Gravemind comes close.

[candid solar]

So... Latin America, but Russian quote? Interesting combo.

[naive sparrow]

swears in games make them great

[jade gust]

I remember something like two, maybe three at most in the whole of the Bungie era

[naive sparrow]

so technically halo should be a 12+

[candid solar]

Most of the 'swears' were things I could say here.

[jade gust]

If anything, most the swearing was in online play when you have full lobbies

[candid solar]

Which isn't rated by the ESRB-

[jade gust]

Aye

[candid solar]

Yeah like Halo 3 only ever had 'mild language'.

Which is your 'Damn', and 'crap'.

[jade gust]

Anyway, not swearing forces you to become more creative with insults, like calling someone a "Rotten Tangerine" or a "Stuck-up, scruffly looking, nerfherder"

[naive sparrow]

I've never played halo online and idk if I ever want to since I hear it's toxic.

[candid solar]

It's online gaming. You can't walk six feet without finding toxic.

[fickle drift]

It's blown out of proportion, the majority of matches are fine.

[jade gust]

I've had a custom game where someone used some very choice language after they saw my Spartan's cat ears, but that was a few months back now

[naive sparrow]

I've played online halo on the kid's xbox at school to scrap, that's about it, lol.

idk if that really counts as playing online though.

bc it's splitscreen

[fickle drift]

I wouldn't let it deter you, there's toggles for voice and text-chat, and people actually playing in annoying ways can always be blocked.

[naive sparrow]

hmmm

I guess I was overreacting

[jade gust]

That just sounds like you were playing an offline custom game

[molten pelican]

I've had a maximum of like 7 "toxic" encounters in my entire time playing lol

[naive sparrow]

because I've read that it's what started teabagging, that's why I thought halo is toxic online

[jade gust]

Teabagging isn't even a toxic thing

[molten pelican]

It's the law

[fickle drift]

It's a versatile means of non-vocal communication lol

[naive sparrow]

is it not?

[molten pelican]

It can bring peace and it can bring emotional destruction

[fickle drift]

Give a crouch to a teammate and they do it back, it's like exchanging a greeting.

[molten pelican]

Best friends

[naive sparrow]

wat

[molten pelican]

It's almost universal in every game that has crouching mechanics lol

[fickle drift]

I mean yeah if someone does it after killing you, but then its motivation to get them back.

[molten pelican]

Its all good fun

I even like a bit of friendly banter

[winter flame]

millennials see the bag as a sign of respect

Gen Z dont understand our old ways

😔

[molten pelican]

I think it's just that one person

I've not crouched someone who hasn't crouched me back

Wait

I actually don't know how to word that normally lol

[winter flame]

i was actually talking to my zoomer coworkers about this the other day and they all saw it as toxic / similar to body shooting

its called bagging, i bagged you, you bagged me back

[molten pelican]

Some pretty crazy character archs can happen in game

[jade gust]

As an elder Gen Z, I disagree with the notion we don't understand

[molten pelican]

@viral dune I have a somewhat upgraded version of your hot OJ, I've found if you combine a mixture of orange juice, pineapple juice, and apple juice, let it simmer on a stove with bits of cinnamon, you will create a very nice strong cider drink

It may be too tangy for someone's taste but you can always adjust the levels of cinnamon

[winter flame]

icky is a hot OJ purist

[molten pelican]

Am I blaspheming

[winter flame]

yeah he accepts nothing but hot organic 100% orange juice

[molten pelican]

Liquid heresy

[molten pelican]

It's quite good

[tough iron]

Yeah

I just like the language and I am practicing it.

[pulsar heron]

i've always been a hot OJ sceptic, but i can imagine this actually being quite nice

[molten pelican]

It's a very nice holiday drink, you should give it a try sometime, if you like apple cider this is like a tangier and more complex tasting drink

[pulsar heron]

sounds similar similar to hot vimto (for those unaware of vimto: its a grape and berry squash, it already has herbs and spices in it, and is very nice warmed up)

[molten pelican]

That also sounds nice, I will look into that

[pulsar heron]

i forget what word americans typically use instead of squash. its a juice concentrate

[molten pelican]

Squash sounds normal to me but I actually don't know if there is an American word for that lol

[pulsar heron]

i shouldve gotten some bovril at the weekend ): a hot bovril drink for xmas week would be nice

[molten pelican]

Besides the vegetable of course

[molten pelican]

Enlighten me once more

[pulsar heron]

every time ive mentioned "squash" to americans they tend to ask if i mean of the legume variety

[frosty siren]

...Gen alpha has the skibibit brianrot

[tough iron]

Damn, I've been playing MCC for over 3 days now

☠️

[molten pelican]

I guess you would have to specify if you mean juice or the legume yeah

If you put fruit before it makes sense to me however I rarely hear it being phrase that way

[pulsar heron]

bovril is effectively beef stock. it's a british ww2 era foodstuff, since it makes for a nice hot drink for relatively cheap

bovril is on a similar wavelength to marmite

[molten pelican]

Oh yeah I already like beef and chicken stock

I will try that berry squash drink soon, I encourage you to try the tangy cider

[fickle drift]

Ok gramps

[slim sequoia]

god I love mind the gap kills

makes kids SOOOO angry in ranked 😂

[pulsar heron]

[lapis ivy]

Ok what in tarnation do I get a random message saying that couldn't find easy anti cheat when there is lol?

[lapis ivy]

Have u also heard that Godzilla is also coming to Fortnite too?

[tough iron]

in my time was trollface

[dim bramble]

Sup

[rare cedar]

[tough iron]

hi

[lapis ivy]

Too bad there's not a craigface

[steady jolt]

[lapis ivy]

Lol now that's what I'm talking about thanks @steady jolt

[rare cedar]

[slim sequoia]

I love getting +6, +8. +12 than getting -15 3 times in a row

10/10 balanced rank system

[lapis ivy]

Godzilla in Fortnite sounds pretty cool btw I wonder if he's playable

[cedar turret]

If it's to scale it would seem you'd be an easy target

[lapis ivy]

I would've preferred more there to be a Godzilla bandai nameco game for either Xbox or PlayStation

Like the first one back in 2014

[zinc hatch]

Skibidi Chief

[hasty zinc]

[fickle drift]

Horror

[hasty zinc]

Hold A for 4 seconds

[fickle drift]

Lmao

[zinc hatch]

I'm debating it tbh. I can make the Vbucks back from STW, but I'm probably gonna get the OG Pass first.

[obsidian wyvern]

he is

[obsidian wyvern]

kinda meh pass

[zinc hatch]

I like it more than the C6S1 pass. I'm done buying the main passes at this point.

[lapis ivy]

Oh nice both the blue and evolved versions I heard they're also adding the Mecha Godzilla skin or something@obsidian wyvern

[obsidian wyvern]

I bought the main pass for big hero 6 lol

[bold sparrow]

Aren't most of the passes fairly mid

[obsidian wyvern]

what a unit

[zinc hatch]

For a few chapters now, yeah. Although I loved the Greek pass.

[obsidian wyvern]

can only see pink rn

[lapis ivy]

You know what this game reminds me it reminds me of super smash bros but as I've heard lately they're not making another one anymore

Ultimate was the last game

[crisp shale]

Does anyone know why I’m muted in game even tho I have it set to Open Mic?

[amber mirage]

Me with my two presets

[open robin]

got into a ranked match in halo 5 at last and then immediately crashed

[molten pelican]

Baymax is BT

[verbal nymph]

I thought Godzilla was already in Fortnite

[lapis ivy]

Well in that case I'll probably download Fortnite it's free isn't it?

[hasty zinc]

not yet

[quaint canyon]

Does halo mcc have splitscreen?

What is this?

[fallow oyster]

what help did you need ser

is the help team ser

[quaint canyon]

I just wanted to know if halo mcc supports splitscreen
