"Everybody relax." "Case closed."

[steep isle]

Thanks for cooling the heat

[normal owl]

Deal, let's get started.

[hybrid plover]

awesome

[normal owl]

Thank you for cooling things down in the meantime, much appreciated!

[haughty moat]

Does the Microsoft sam Easter egg in halo 3 have an achievement or no?

[candid solar]

So what was the other subject you were so eager to talk about instead of actually talking about the damn franchise.

[hybrid plover]

what documents you need?

its not that. its that you started getting nasty for no reason lol

no use for that

[candid solar]

Riiiiiight.

[normal owl]

Let's please remember to read the room and adjust our tone to facilitate a good time for everyone.

[tough iron]

Hi

[hybrid plover]

[normal owl]

I would be on my way home from the office but for this so I'd like us all to give each other a nice hug and move on.

[candid solar]

Nah.

[normal owl]

Then just moving on is good enough.

[hybrid plover]

i dont think he'll do that either

they'll

[steep isle]

We can always report

[hybrid plover]

report to the IRS

[normal owl]

Let's all just drop it.

[steep isle]

Affirmative

[candid solar]

I'm pretty solidly annoyed because I actually enjoyed that conversation, and from my perspective y'all were just screaming and yapping about nothing on the sidelines.

[normal owl]

Trench

Drop it like the New Years ball.

[hybrid plover]

[haughty moat]

Got all of the Easter egg achievements too. GOOD GOD WAS THE LAST MISSION’S DRIVE A PAIN.

[hybrid plover]

[haughty moat]

12 days until i can get the remember reach achievement

[edgy osprey]

How

Log in and play reach?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah you get an achievement for it

one for each game for the date it came out on

[edgy osprey]

Oh I think I have one of those for Halo 2 on Xbox

[waxen rivet]

Halo 3 and odst are peak

[haughty moat]

It said play on the 14th of any month

Wait do all halo games that an achievement like that?

[trim saddle]

[hasty zinc]

Halo 4 has a similar one

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

in MCC anyway

[fickle drift]

MCC 🗣️

[urban bluff]

Halo good game

[fossil skiff]

Real

[noble wyvern]

His voice reminds me of someone

[smoky frost]

sonic?

[noble wyvern]

Yeah

I'm a big sonic the hedgehog and halo fan

Lol

[smoky frost]

i can tell lol

[noble wyvern]

My dad actually got me into halo

[smoky frost]

for me it was my older brother

[noble wyvern]

I don't know what xbox Live was back then I just played forge with my brother

[smoky frost]

splitscreen for me

[noble wyvern]

And the campaign

I actually beaten 3 on legendary

And lasso

For mcc

[median herald]

I

always

come

back

[fickle drift]

British

[left bone]

what is halofollower even doing bruh 💀😭

i come back to his channel months later and

maybe i shouldve stayed away a bit longer

[steady jolt]

Stirring up drama over nothing, as usual I would imagine

[cedar turret]

Imma guess that he had a strawberry salad for lunch and one of the strawberries was a secret message from 343 that said that Elites would be playable in halo 5

[fossil skiff]

Hey that was my clickbait video idea >:(

[steady jolt]

Can't help but laugh sometimes
Halo does a collab: "why are they wasting time on this, just make games"
Halo doesn't do a collab: "omg why are they not doing this"

[urban bluff]

hot take: unreal collab spells bad news for next game

[hasty zinc]

cold take: you don't know enough about how it will work to make that call so far out

[ripe ridge]

I hope they continue infinites story I’d love to actually see the endless in game

[hasty zinc]

well technically you already did

[ripe ridge]

Yeah but I think it would be cool to see more of them since they are allegedly more dangerous than the flood

Plus the grapple hook is one of the best additions to halo

[edgy osprey]

So you want to see more

I think we will see more

[cedar turret]

HOT TAKE: Tea is good.
Also the next halo needs a giraffe buddy

[granite sky]

is there a Recent Players area in Xbox Game Bar? Im on PC. trying to apologize to a guy after my HW2 crashed

[steep isle]

Uhhhh idk for Xbox One bc pretty sure HW2 is suited for that console

[signal wedge]

Bruh you're telling me Microsoft said no to a Doom X Halo crossover for Secret Level??
Someone please buy the Halo IP from Microsoft

[hasty zinc]

this is the new helldivers odst rant

[steep isle]

agreed

[hasty zinc]

can't wait to see people posting about it every hour for the next month

[steep isle]

This entire server is going to be filled with "what? Microsoft said no to a Doom x Halo crossover for secret level?"

[granite sky]

hehe indeed...as abraham lincoln said, way she goes boys

[fast raptor]

I think the whole debacle is such a nothing problem for this same reason

[steep isle]

That's the way for I feel like just Microsoft. Fans are like: "Come'on! Do a collab! Make more mods!" but when they do, they're just like, "This is trash! I never asked for this! Just make a new game!" Not to be harsh but at this point, fans are just spoiled children who are never thankful for what the games give them.

[covert cliff]

[granite sky]

i guess its just how social media is there's always those 2 louder sides stirring up stuff for views n such. then there's the quieter folks that r just like...can more people play Halo pls it's fun and forge is cool 🥺

feel like halo has a LARGE social media bubble but not many play, idk i wish more played

[fossil skiff]

Woulda been neat I guess but I got some great space marine action so idc

[signal wedge]

I mean if you are taking Ls after Ls everyone is gonna comment the same thing on social media

[tough iron]

hi

[proud summit]

aye

fam

[edgy osprey]

Yes, because social media is the end all be all of everything, and of course, the best place to get opinions from

[signal wedge]

That's what social media is for

What you gonna do? Talk to real people? They are just gonna have the same opinions

[candid solar]

Most people aren't as willing to insult you to your face for having a different take IRL

[warm sparrow]

When’s Infinite’s next operation coming?

[floral pollen]

This coming Tuesday I believe

[fickle drift]

To infinity and beyond

Hi

[mystic matrix]

guys do you remember the achievement "bite the hand"? i cant find it

[fickle drift]

I bite my hand all the time

[opaque cove]

Why has the matchmaking been insane for me for weeks. Used to get lots of close matches with good wins and now most of the time im getting rekt like 20-50

[smoky token]

yeah

practically everyone has it now

[tardy lark]

Sup Haloers, we gamin or what? 😎

[granite sky]

i sleepin

[grim shore]

Wooorblagah!

[bold sparrow]

Round two, specifically

Also, the answer is the same as that one, and, in truth, even more so considering how abominably bad the crossover episode was
I don't CARE if it would have probably been really jarring and m-rated to see several Helldivers murder a teenage girl on screen, presumably with extensive orbital support.

It would be canon to the game and the playerbase

[candid solar]

I absolutely loathe the concept of a DoomxHalo collab SL episode.

[bold sparrow]

If we HAD gotten a Halo crossover, it would have been bad, and the entire fanbase would have complained about THAT

[candid solar]

Like, vehemently, i hate it, vehemently.

I don't care how redundant I get

[bold sparrow]

Because they're already primed by...you know
Everything thats happened the last couple of years...

[candid solar]

Really yeah.

[bold sparrow]

You and I need to stop thinking so similiarly Trench, its kinda weird

[candid solar]

Borrowed from another chat.

Basically how that'd go.

They don't release it, people complain. They release it, people become pedantic and insufferable.

[bold sparrow]

The fanbase, as usually, is never happy no matter what.

[candid solar]

I don't get it. My entire personality is based around being an insufferable details pedant, and somehow I'm outdone. How the hell am I supposed to find a job, Killer Orca? Am I meant to starve to death?

[bold sparrow]

Neg, just find the right person to do it for.
Someone whos willing to pay to have someone pick the story apart to the most detailed level and find stuff that doesnt make sense, so they can make it make sense.

Absolute nerd-proof it.

[candid solar]

Eh, I say anything positive about Halo 5 and I get ravaged by bots and nerds who follow bots.

You really can't win.

[bold sparrow]

Funny enough people are saying 5 was peak and we should go back.
But then peopel said 4 was peak when 5 was out, even if it was mostly considered a step in the right direction...

Some people need to step back from the computer methinks.

[candid solar]

I remember when people hated Halo 4's story vehemently and that was the popular take.

Until 2014.

And some nerd released a looooong video and essay talking about how people were wrong.

Good essay, tbh.

[bold sparrow]

I remember the one.
Amazing what happens when someone can make a persuasive argument, isnt it?

[candid solar]

True.

I've done so for Halo 5 but never actually sent out the essay.

[sterile tinsel]

Halo 5 multiplayer was fun for me

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[sour scarab]

I was just re watching the forward until dawn movie/ series and in the ending we see other Spartans inside a pelican beside chief and the last surviving marines in training and one of them looks incredibly similar to noble six, what is the meaning of this? is it some sort of Easter egg, or just a coincidence?

[jade gust]

Reuse of costumes from the live action Reach trailer

[sour scarab]

oh damn i just got my hopes up lmao

[jade gust]

Pretty sure Six wasn't born yet at that point

And can confirm they weren't born yet, Forward Until Dawn takes place in 2526 while Six wasn't born in 2530

[sour scarab]

idk cause it was when keyes was still a teenager and im guessing from appearance when we first see him in the game series hes in like his mid 20s to 30s so that would mean that its been like 10 years no?

cause doesnt reach take place first in the lore

[jade gust]

The original trilogy and Reach take place in 2552

Reach is the first chronologically of the FPS games but Halo Wars is the first of all the games chronologically

As Halo Wars is in 2531

[sour scarab]

oh yeah

[sour scarab]

oh right

[peak sequoia]

Y’all hear about the secret level halo and doom episode coming out?

[sour scarab]

its not coming out didnt halo say no

[lavish crane]

hm

Is this Halo general or just the general chat?

[sour scarab]

if your talking about the server its the chat

but arent they the same thing...

[lavish crane]

Honestly dont know what hcs stands for,, Is that the general Halo chat?

[peak sequoia]

I just saw the news😭

So sad

[sour scarab]

did you watch the halo follower video he talked about it last night

[lavish crane]

hm

[meager linden]

👆

[sour scarab]

im bummed cause it would be so cool

[lavish crane]

Honestly picked up Halo yestoday 🙂 What a day,

Did also cleared some maps 🙂

[sour scarab]

if youve saw the 40k episode just imagine something simlar to that quality if not better with chief and doom slayer it would be iincredible

[peak sequoia]

Big gaming corporations honestly have to be run by troglodytes

[lavish crane]

While I dont want to brag. It like feel like the first time I play Halo for real 🙂

[peak sequoia]

That would just be a net positive

[lavish crane]

not sure what that means..

Anyways it feel like a new chapter for me

I dont want to brag but unlike many ohter I like to like bump up the challange when I play

[sour scarab]

dude what are you blabbering on about😭

[lavish crane]

CE

[sour scarab]

have you just started playing halo?

[lavish crane]

@sour scarab Well I played some like 20 years ago but I

[verbal nymph]

Halo Championship Series (esports)

[lavish crane]

But I am like basically new to the game 🙂

[sour scarab]

oh yeah so your getting into it now properly

enjoy it bro the halo experience is incredible

[lavish crane]

@sour scarab Yeah you can say that 🙂

@sour scarab Thx 🙂

[sour scarab]

if you really want to play it in chronological order start with halo reach

[lavish crane]

MCC not did exsitsed back then hehe

I started with CE like yesterday or a few days ago hehe

Like to get better. But wow. Its already..

such a 🙂

hm do like most play on PC or the box theses days?

I that like make sense to start with CE btw

[candid solar]

Watching that charlatan is not helpful.

[sour scarab]

i think the majority of people play it on xbox just because of conveniance but i play it on pc just cause i prefer tto play on mouse an keyboard

[lavish crane]

MCC included quite many games you know

so it was a bit confusing to what to chosee hehe. But

[sour scarab]

you think hes a charlatan?

how so?

[candid solar]

More know than think.

[lavish crane]

Even a few month ago when i got the collection hehe

[sour scarab]

yeah but the games go from top to bottom in chronological order

[candid solar]

Plagiarizing Halopedia and coming to poorly reasoned conclusions does not engender belief in what he says.

[lavish crane]

@sour scarab Aha

Its intresting becuse Xbox dont seem to big here heeh

[sour scarab]

who is someone better to get information from in videos then if thats really the case?

[lavish crane]

I likely only one of my friends who have it now hehe

[candid solar]

Not gonna lie-Halo does not have very good youtubers.

Like, it's a historical issue. The best have universally quit due to harassment.

[lavish crane]

But yeah I hope again that it is like not late to get into Halo now

again its like something I have been thinking about for such a long time.. hehe

[candid solar]

Some for being transgender and getting even further harassment, and not agreeing with angrier party lines, others for the latter alone.

[sour scarab]

I mean the multiplayer is a bit dead and not really that popular but you will find a matchmaking most of the time

[sour scarab]

thats sad really

[candid solar]

Being nonbinary myself, I find the formermost infuriating.

but yeah, we are not spoilt for choice like other franchises for consistent honest youtubers.

[sour scarab]

i dont really understand what peoiples problem is with that sort of thing when the youtuber is just ttalking about halo😭

[candid solar]

Cruelty is the point.

[lavish crane]

Iam more into single player

I guss I could get the latest Halo game if I Im more into mp?

[candid solar]

I'd recco getting really into the books if you like the universe.

Reading is fun and informative.

[jade gust]

Fall of Reach is the best novel to start with too

[lavish crane]

@candid solar Hm yeah but I think I care more about the games. For now at least hehe. There is only so many hours in a day...

I have sleep as well hehe

[sour scarab]

yeah but i think halo multiplayer is just kinda dead in general nowadays

[lavish crane]

walk and stuff like that hehe

[candid solar]

I'll be honest I knocked out Glasslands in an afternoon

[lavish crane]

@sour scarab ok

[candid solar]

But then I read fast

[lavish crane]

not what want atm hehe

[candid solar]

Still, I strongly recommend getting into the books at some point. They help get the franchise a lot.

[sour scarab]

but its not like you cant play multiplayer yesterday i got a game of infection in halo reach with a full lobby after like 10 minutes of waiting

[candid solar]

Also Infinite isn't that unpopular.

[lavish crane]

Anyways I like have tried the game on legendary ge

[candid solar]

I get matches pretty fast normally.

[lavish crane]

it feels good

[sour scarab]

yeah try laso lmao

[lapis ivy]

U ain't wrong about that lol I enjoy both campaign and forge

Do you get matches faster cause of fast and good internet?

Mine takes like the same as 10 minutes

[lavish crane]

Its also intresting. Maybe Halo in some sense was even bigger like 20 years ago

then today

I dont hear much about kids or teenagers playing the game

[sour scarab]

maybe but i wasnt even born so i would have no clue

[lavish crane]

@sour scarab oh

I have had such a good time with the first levels hehe

more then I thought hehe

[lapis ivy]

Fist or first levels before the flood?

[lavish crane]

@lapis ivy Hm I dont know. I like came out from the cave some time ago hehe

that is like last thing I remember hehe

Now Iam on the Warthog again hehe.

Open area hehe

[lapis ivy]

I remember shutting down my Xbox cause of the flood lol

[sour scarab]

how long ago did you land on the halo

[lavish crane]

Hm way 35 min ago for something like that

I like to play games kind of slow if I can btw he

Try not to stress to much hehe

[sour scarab]

are you like going around looking for surviving marines

or are you past that

[lavish crane]

Yeah I think so 🙂

A little bit past it maybe hehe

[sour scarab]

yeah so your on the halo mission

[lavish crane]

Yeah I think so 🙂

Just came of the cave and took down some ships hehe

[sour scarab]

i was actually replaying ce the other day but im near the end

[lapis ivy]

Nothing wrong with taking a stroll on the halo ring looking for marines and taking down banished bases

[sour scarab]

preach

[sour scarab]

like your gonna get to a point where there is a different type of foe not gonna spoil though

[lapis ivy]

Also nothing wrong with forging and building banished bases too

[candid solar]

Aside from helping the Banished

[sour scarab]

IM READY HOW BOUT YOU

My goat emile

[lavish crane]

I well I hope understand I kind of into the game now 🙂

[candid solar]

Poor Emile. Enjoyed despite being the least effective member of Noble.

[lavish crane]

But yeah still a very much a newbie hehe

that is like why Iam asking some questions hehe

[candid solar]

The only member of Noble to fail every mission assigned to him.

Sad!

[sour scarab]

yep but where he lacks in effectiveness he definetly makes up with it in his coolness

[candid solar]

I think he's a loser who tries too hard.

[lavish crane]

Iam just have started basically so I dont know to much 🙂

[lapis ivy]

How bout like building and scripting a Hyrule warriors like matchup where you're on the banished side versus the unsc in a koth FF

[lavish crane]

about Halo.

[pulsar briar]

Omg im gonna play halo ce for the first time should i play it on like easy or normal mode idk i haven't played a shooter in years

[candid solar]

Still helping the Banished, so bad

[lavish crane]

@pulsar briar I started on Legendary.. As mentioned hehe

[lapis ivy]

Well 343 gave us those choices tho

[candid solar]

Banished still stinky and bad and ugly

[sour scarab]

idk but something i find funny is that pretty much whenever your ina firefight with him for some reason his ai only ever uses his shotgun so theres been times where he will just try to shoot an enemy that is meters away with his shotgun

[candid solar]

Eh Halo's shotguns are some of the worst in FPS history

Especially Reach's

[lavish crane]

@pulsar briar Maybe you would find it fun at that difficultyl evel as well.

[pulsar briar]

That sounds too hard Fr

[sour scarab]

@candid solar are you a pessimist

[candid solar]

Nope

[sour scarab]

are you sure lmao

[candid solar]

Yep.

[lapis ivy]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sour scarab]

i pllay halo games on heroic im not devoted enough to play legendary lol

[hexed anvil]

me watching Halo:CE reviews

growing up the two concensus most hated levels are the only two my pops would want to play with me on split screen whenever we played (library, two betrayals) and on legendary (we always beat them)

Did he raise me to become a masochist?

I’m trying to remember a game where you would explore. There was mention of this creepy figure or monster but it would be written on walls somewhat like ratman from portal.

[sour scarab]

nah but you deffinitly got one hell of a resolve

it looks like i cant spell in my messages but ive just got a really low actuation keyboard haha

[lavish crane]

@sour scarab Hm it would be intresting to see if there is like many Achivements in the game hehe

I dont know tbh hehe

Have not like had time to look into it much yet hehe

[sour scarab]

i m not really the most educated in that but im sure other in the server are @candid solar

[candid solar]

Gwuh

[lapis ivy]

Lol

[sour scarab]

just help the guy out hes new to halo you act like you know it all

[candid solar]

I don't really follow the game achievement smuch

Mostly because I am selfish, focus on finishing them on my own, then never think about again

[sour scarab]

yeah i am the same tbh

[lapis ivy]

U also don't play halo on Xbox?

Currently I play it on PC when I play it on both

[scarlet otter]

anyone wanna run 2v2s on infinite?

[sour scarab]

the main reason ii play on pc is cause i lost my disk for the 😭 xbox version

[lapis ivy]

🤦‍♂️

[fallen bay]

@raven trail

[lapis ivy]

Well I got an unopened backup of infinite

[lavish crane]

@lapis ivy Have you like played all of the Halo games?

Feel like Halo could be big this year hehe

[smoky token]

many have

i have

[lapis ivy]

Except wars 2 and spartan assault

[sour scarab]

yeah i tried halo wars but i couldnt get into the gameplay

i have a quesstion about halo reach

[obsidian wyvern]

there's 700 in mcc

[sour scarab]

what was it that cortana was needed for so much to win agsinst the covenent

[obsidian wyvern]

144 in infinite

73 halo 5

[lavish crane]

Its intresting becuse I think that that while Iam not obssed I like and try to keep an closer eye on achievements then most pepole hehe

[lapis ivy]

I'm nearly done with the achievements there's no laso in infinite right?

[smoky token]

Operation: RED FLAG

[obsidian wyvern]

there is

[sour scarab]

whats that

[lavish crane]

Mean not obssed hehe

[obsidian wyvern]

laso in infinite is easy at least

[smoky token]

She was supposed to be the codebreaker that the Spartans would use to hijack a covenant ship and hopefully hold a Prophet for ransom to end the war

[obsidian wyvern]

you get infinite ammo and there's no iron

[smoky token]

but RED FLAG didn't really occur

at least that was Eric Nylund's explanation

[sour scarab]

oh so technically noble teams sacrifice was in vain?

[smoky token]

Yes and no

[obsidian wyvern]

well reach broke the lore in that sense lol

[sour scarab]

didnt noble six deal a load of damage on the covenent in the last mission

[obsidian wyvern]

in the original book cortana was on the pillar of autumn before the covenant got to reach, the game changed that

[sour scarab]

plothole

[smoky token]

RED FLAG didn't occur but Cortana's abilities and intelligence at Alpha Halo saved the human race

[smoky token]

retcon

[sour scarab]

ah

[sour scarab]

yeah that makes sense

another question what was cortanas goal in halo 5 i never really understood the plot of halo 5 i kinda just went along with it

[candid solar]

Oh boy. Here we go.

[smoky token]

Who wants to explain the Mantle of Responsibility

[obsidian wyvern]

forced peace

[sour scarab]

my bad

[candid solar]

the Mantle of Responsibility is basically a reformulated "White Man's Burden" with an expanded set of rules that make it seem less like the ultimately degenerately oppressive system that it is.

With all the same degenerate downsides and falsehoods.

The mantle is a responsibility that is a falsehood to achieve.

[sour scarab]

i dont follow

[candid solar]

I should say, as clarification, THIS IS A BAD THING

[smoky token]

"We are the most powerful race so it's our responsibility to shelter all the other races and bring them to enlightenment"

[candid solar]

Thank you Aspen

[smoky token]

its inherently fasc-ey

[candid solar]

I am not in the headspace to describe it properly, as much as I'd like to

Currently cooking breakfast

[sour scarab]

so what your saying is that cortanas goal was something to do with the 'mantle of responsibility'

[smoky token]

she believed herself and the Created to be the inheritors of the Mantle

[sour scarab]

just for power? did cortana really switch up like that

[candid solar]

Less for power, more to safeguard everyone else.

It's like why Halsey created the Spartans.

[sour scarab]

so she had good intentions originally?

[candid solar]

Yep.

[smoky token]

my theory is that she's not the cortana we knew and more a defragmented version of one of the copies from the Mantle's Approach

(Didact's ship)

[candid solar]

The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

[sour scarab]

so why at the end of halo 5 is she like i found you to commander keyes

[smoky token]

?

[candid solar]

I strongly feel like this devalues her point.

It's one of my biggest criticisms of post-5 Halo analysis.

[sour scarab]

wait halo 4 i think

im getting lost here my bad im not tooo clued in on the lore im getting mixed up between games

[candid solar]

Her point of doing so was because of her experiences, not because she was fragmented. A perfectly intact Cortana would've come to a similar conclusion.

[smoky token]

Do you mean Laskey?

[sour scarab]

probably

[candid solar]

She comes from Halsey; Who wanted something similar, but not exactly, hence Halsey's own failiures with the Janus key.

[smoky token]

Keyes can either refer to the captain of the Pillar of Autumn, shown in Halo Reach and Halo CE, or the captain of the In Amber Clad who died in the middle of Halo 3

[lapis ivy]

What happened to lasky in infinite?

[sour scarab]

yeah its cause i just got finished watching the farward into dawn series again so keyes's name was in my brain for some reason

[candid solar]

He got off the Infinity. That's all we know.

[smoky token]

Laskey was the successor to Del Rio as captain of the Infinity after Del Rio was forced to retire because he messed with Chief and nearly indirectly destroyed Earth through inaction

[lapis ivy]

Was also del Rio's hostility towards the chief that made him retire?

[sour scarab]

wait wait wait so getting back to my question so cortana just wanted to help everyone

[candid solar]

Del Rio's a hero for going back to Earth

And he will be honored as such

He was not wrong for that part of his plan

[candid solar]

Yep. Against their will.

[smoky token]

In the same way Von Bismarck wanted to help Germany, I guess

[candid solar]

She wanted to stop all war.

By killing everyone who wanted to wage war.

[sour scarab]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i think im kinda getting it

[lapis ivy]

Bismarck the German battleship?

[candid solar]

Which is kinda like Halsey, who wanted to stop all war by doing horrible things.

[smoky token]

no, the guy the battleship was named after

[sour scarab]

yeah i still feel like the spartans should have held grudges against her for that

[smoky token]

the Kaiser of germany who unified all the german tribes

[candid solar]

... Do I need to tell you to look up the historical significance of Bismarck

[lapis ivy]

Ah

[candid solar]

Some did. Some didn't. A lot of IVs who knew her for who she was hated her for it.

[lapis ivy]

I can always find a documentary tho

[candid solar]

I think she's a monster and the fanfiction response of loving her is disgustingly repugnant to me, personally.

[sour scarab]

idk i just think that its crazy that she could do that whie having a kid of her own

wansst the spartans like 6 when they were kidnapped

[candid solar]

It's easy when you don't care about the kid of your own.

8-10 was the average.

Buck's older than most Spartan IIs.

[sour scarab]

she didnt care about jorge?

[smoky token]

Lmao no

[candid solar]

Only as a Spartan II. Beyond that she didn't give a damn.

[sour scarab]

i didnt really get that from reach i kinda felt like she was just busy with her work

[smoky token]

She didn't ever really give a damn about any of the IIs except Chief

Halsey cared a lot more

[candid solar]

And even then she only seemed to like Chief due to reasons I cannot adequaetely express here.

[sour scarab]

but at the same time i feel like halseys biggest thing that she cared about was cortana

and chief i guess

[candid solar]

She didn't care about Cortana.

[lapis ivy]

That's cold

[candid solar]

Not any more than her several other projects regarding AI she had at the time.

Because she cloned a lot of her brain

Which is why the UNSC hated her.

[smoky token]

She cared about cortana as much as you care about that cool thing in the shed you made but then forgot about

[candid solar]

She violated medical protocol for personal gain, which is part of why she is terrible.

[smoky token]

so you gave that thing in the shed to your favorite kid and told him to have fun

[sour scarab]

waiit now that i think about it did halsey even ask about jorge after his death i feel like she did but i cant remember

[sour scarab]

w analogy

[smoky token]

its a mediocre analogy

[lapis ivy]

I wonder what happened to Locke if you noticed that hyperius is wearing his helmet on his shoulder and severed fingers

[sour scarab]

w is better than L

[sour scarab]

locke was a mid character anyway imo

[candid solar]

Locke was a fascinating guy who got done dirty because fans disliked him for petty reasons.

Which is typical, Halo fans suck.

[sour scarab]

ouch

[lapis ivy]

So he's pretty much dead?

[candid solar]

No.

He's defeated, presumably not dead.

That's all we know.

Because of a failiure of Infinite's narrative.

[sour scarab]

i feel like if a spartan doesnt die on camera its so that they can either decide to use him again in the future or just not

[candid solar]

When I'm proven wrong, my attitude will change, lmao

[sour scarab]

its not that i didnt like locke i just prefer the games with just chief

[candid solar]

Chief is so damn boring that I'd prefer a blank slate to him

[sour scarab]

what😭

[candid solar]

He has the superman problem of being an abhorrently boring character with an incredibly boring personality that there is not any drama.

[lapis ivy]

My best history research is documentaries unlike my high school teachers who spent so much time speaking nonsense than teaching us about history lol

[sour scarab]

idk what your talking about i think the dynamics with chief and cortana in the first 3 were amazing

[candid solar]

It's like enjoying completely flavorless yogurt.

Ah, yes, the grand total of whatever.

OT's bad writing.

Any comraderie between Cortana and Chief is by accident.

[obsidian wyvern]

this is the part where you can ignore trench dw

[smoky token]

Halo 4 was peak writing

OT was mid

[candid solar]

Can't ignore people who agree with me though.

[sour scarab]

you saying im right or wrong

[candid solar]

:>

[warm sparrow]

When people plant grenades on my wraith, i die, but when i do it, they escape

[lapis ivy]

Halo 4 was meh ok but the absence of the elites was frustrating

[obsidian wyvern]

well it's an opinion

[candid solar]

Learn to understand seat swaps

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah spam that jump button

[candid solar]

https://tenor.com/view/kamala-harris-trump-debate2024-weird-confused-gif-2607009590885175550

[warm sparrow]

I can't really seat swap when there's a gunner

[sour scarab]

yeah i suppose your right

[candid solar]

Skill issue

[obsidian wyvern]

this is why you team kill anyone close to your wraith

[warm sparrow]

That's kinda rude, we can take it to DMs

[candid solar]

No

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[warm sparrow]

You said yes

[candid solar]

I'll be meaner there

[sour scarab]

dont

either of you

lets not do this, its like 4 AM

[candid solar]

"Take it to DMs" is best countered with me pointing out that I'm no longer subject to rules enforced here.

I don't like to be that mean.

[warm sparrow]

That's why I'm taking it to DMs, so it won't be your problem sir.

[sour scarab]

oh no

[candid solar]

She's not a sir.

[smoky token]

Just don't make it a problem?

Like cmon

[lapis ivy]

Well if you seen all the elite armor ranks you would want to play as them instead they only made the halo 2 anniversary from the halo 4 version

[signal wedge]

how is superman boring

[sour scarab]

i feel a discord argument cooking up where no one can be right im exited

[smoky token]

also yeah I figured it would be pretty obvious from the profile but I guess not

[warm sparrow]

I can't name you any females named Aspen sorry

[signal wedge]

theres like 10 million shows of superman and none of them are boring

[candid solar]

Incredibly easily. Superman always wins. it's like worrying about freaking Goku or One Punch Man losing.

They won't.

[smoky token]

Goku did lose a few times though

[sour scarab]

who is your favourite fictional character

[candid solar]

They never will.

[candid solar]

RJ Macready from The Thing.

[lapis ivy]

What was the first game that halo studios made at first MCC or halo 4?

[signal wedge]

superhero? Batman

[smoky token]

Halo CE Anniversary

[sour scarab]

i mean herowise

[smoky token]

John Wick

tbh

[candid solar]

I wasn't aware that I stuttered. R. J. Macready. From the Thing.

[sour scarab]

is john wick a hero though

[lapis ivy]

Oh ok yeah cause it got me confused at first

[signal wedge]

no

[sour scarab]

nah ive just not watched the thing my bad didnt think he was a hero

[smoky token]

why not

[candid solar]

Watch. The damn. Movie.

[signal wedge]

John Wick is a retired assasin who worked for the criminal world how tf is he a hero

[candid solar]

It's literally foundational sci fi.

[smoky token]

hes the protagonist

and as far as we know only killed other criminals

[sour scarab]

i just thought you were answering my question wasnt saying he is

[candid solar]

Like if you haven't watched the original 1982 Thing you need to

It's foundational sci fi

it's that good

It's like saying you're a sci fi fan when you haven't even read the original I, Robot

[signal wedge]

Yeah well. I personally will not count him as a "hero". Someone like James Bond is more of a hero if you're going out of caped stuff

[candid solar]

Or don't know anything about Frankenstein's Monster

[lapis ivy]

I think it was like three john wick movies I've seen but I always got confused by them lol

[candid solar]

Cool, heroes are irrelevant to Scifi

[sour scarab]

nah if you just scroll up i said herowise and you put john wick so i thought you were replying to me

i just read it wrong

[smoky token]

I was replying to you

[signal wedge]

nah Iron Man was cool sci fi acting as a standalone movie

[candid solar]

He's a superhero with scifi trappings who frequently dips into proper sci fi.

Like the time he gave Daredevil vision again just to prove a point.

[sour scarab]

so you think john wick is a hero?

[smoky token]

Yes.

[signal wedge]

the fi at the end of sci fi stands for fiction

[sour scarab]

elaborate

[candid solar]

Cool. RJ macready's still my favorite sci fi "Hero".

[obsidian wyvern]

I would hardly call him a hero lol

[smoky token]

I think hes a wonderful protagonist fighting on a just cause against others who are exclusively bad people

[candid solar]

Protag=/=Hero

[steady jolt]

Science Fience

[sour scarab]

yeah but wouldnt you call him an anti hero then

[smoky token]

We never see him kill, harm, or otherwise injure someone uninvolved in the Syndicates

[signal wedge]

Thats a term called Anti Hero I think

[sour scarab]

yh

[obsidian wyvern]

I wouldn't call him an anti hero either

[candid solar]

The main character of Bioshock is not a Hero if you kill all the little sisters

[sour scarab]

yeah but not all protagonists are heros

[lapis ivy]

Follow me all the good ones

[signal wedge]

John Wick be firing weapons in a subway full of people

[candid solar]

Yes I literally pointed this out here #general-chat message

[sour scarab]

my fault

[smoky token]

did he hit anyone tho

[signal wedge]

no

[sour scarab]

yeah but he could have

[candid solar]

NGL though Kurt Russell was hot as hell back in the 80s

[smoky token]

but he didnt

[obsidian wyvern]

you could say that for heroes as well

[candid solar]

Holy hell, talk about swooning

[obsidian wyvern]

in fact there were casualties in civil war which is why the movie happens

[sour scarab]

yeah but heroes make sure to try to not be in those situations

john wick dont care

[obsidian wyvern]

I doubt he would if he could control it lol, then again I'm not calling him a hero

[candid solar]

If you have a poor definition of what a Hero deals with maybe.

"Hero" is a flexible title.

[sour scarab]

im just going off of the stereotypical iron man type hero

[candid solar]

Iron Man is not a stereotypical hero.

[sour scarab]

or spiderman

[obsidian wyvern]

hero to me is someone going out their way to save others, I wouldn't call John wick that

[lapis ivy]

Kurt Russell wasn't the guy in the guardians of the Galaxy lol?

[candid solar]

He can be multiple guys.

[sour scarab]

yeah there is probably a better example

but iron man does try to do right by innocent people

[obsidian wyvern]

he was ego iirc

[candid solar]

Not uncommon.

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think I can comment here

[sour scarab]

yeah

[lapis ivy]

True I forgot that was his name in the movie tho

[signal wedge]

Iron Man is a hero lol he quite literally had that arc in the span of Phase 1-3 of the MCU

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/star-lord-what-rage-gif-21026712

[sour scarab]

yeah but what they were saying is that iron man is not a stereotypical hero

[obsidian wyvern]

insane gif quality

[lapis ivy]

I miss the iron man days ngl@signal wedge

[meager linden]

Jackal quality 10/10

[signal wedge]

Yeah Iron man 1 and 2 was very good

[smoky token]

but he sold weapons to militant groups 🤓

[obsidian wyvern]

IRON MAN 3 SLANDER?

[signal wedge]

Iron Man 2 is my favourite simply because of that Mk5 suitup

[obsidian wyvern]

iron man 3 was peak simply because of how many suits he brought together at the end

https://tenor.com/view/iron-man-battle-formation-gif-13742887

[sour scarab]

yeah but iron man one was sick causse of the flamethrower (joking)

[signal wedge]

nah they changed the Mandarin from some ninja with 10 magical rings to some lava guy

[obsidian wyvern]

ok so this is where my lack of comic reading lets me enjoy the movies more than most again

[signal wedge]

and the MCU made the rings so weak in shang chi like am I supposed to think those are powerful weapons

[lapis ivy]

I really like the MCU brought the original Spiderman villains like both doc oc and the green goblin using the same actors and it still makes me wonder if that was the last Spiderman movie

[signal wedge]

nah they making Spiderman 4

[sour scarab]

issnt there a nw one in 2026

[signal wedge]

Marvel is going to continue milking Spiderman because it's their only hero more popular than DC

[sour scarab]

i meann their continuing the miles morales movies arent they

[lapis ivy]

No with Tom Holland

So far as DC goes they haven't even brought up a new penguin in a movie yet

[smoky token]

Yeah they did

[sour scarab]

did anyone elsse play the old lego batman game

[smoky token]

The Batman

[meager linden]

Just started my own challenge

[sour scarab]

if i were to try halo 2 laso on aa scale of 1-10 how much would i lose my mind

[lapis ivy]

Penguin is my favorite villain of all the DC villains even tho he's classed as DC's darker villain

Danny devito did a hell of a good job with the character back then

[meager linden]

11/10

[sour scarab]

i feel like to complete halo 2 laaaso you need to have absolutely no life

[meager linden]

Rev already did this on last year

[sour scarab]

rev?

[meager linden]

Yes

[sour scarab]

whos that

[meager linden]

.

[sour scarab]

oh you mean revenant

@obsidian wyvern how was the experience

[smoky token]

LASO aint that bad

ngl

theres a bunch of speedrun tricks you can use

[sour scarab]

yeah but isnt that kinda cheating?

[smoky token]

no lol

[signal wedge]

Penguin should change his name because he doesn't look like a Penguin at all

[lapis ivy]

Is that how you pass laso with Speedruns or not necessary?

[sour scarab]

why dont gifs work

[smoky token]

you need to be trusted to post gifs

[lapis ivy]

Well in the Gotham series he didn't look like it tbh

[sour scarab]

oh yeah i understand there are some baaad gifs

[smoky token]

for this server the Inheritor role indicates the trust necessary to embed gifs and post images

[sour scarab]

yea

[trail pasture]

Hello everyone

How are you

[sour scarab]

great bro how are you

[signal wedge]

Okay guys. Batman with or without trunks

[lapis ivy]

❔

[trail pasture]

Great too

Hope everyone has a nice day

[sour scarab]

is this skibidi toilet

[warm sparrow]

Have a nice day as well

[warm sparrow]

Depends on the batsuit

[obsidian wyvern]

wrong lol

[sour scarab]

revenant how was halo 2 laso

how long did it take

[obsidian wyvern]

horrible

maybe like 40 hours idk

[sour scarab]

ooof

[obsidian wyvern]

speedrunners make it look easy but the amount of attempts to get that god rng is insane

[steady jolt]

I want to attempt LASO, but at the same time I'm not sure I want to inflict that much pain on myself

[sour scarab]

im in a siimilar situation

i just dont know if i have it in me

[lapis ivy]

Is it necessary to Speedrun on laso or play it without speed running?

[sour scarab]

i think it makes it easier when you do the speedrun tricks cause i think it leets you skip some enemies

[trail pasture]

I don't think you can "speedrun" laso, it would really take a lot of attempts to pull of the tricks

[obsidian wyvern]

there are some parts most people would absolutely have to skip

[sour scarab]

i think they mean the speedrun exploits like skips

[steady jolt]

There are some mission sections that would just be obscenely hard, almost impossible, on LASO without using speedrun skips

[meager linden]

https://tenor.com/view/jsjw-gif-26473381

[obsidian wyvern]

try killing 16 or 20.dual wielding, flying elites where there's no noob combo and like triple overshield

[sour scarab]

meh i could do it with my eyes closed

[obsidian wyvern]

I would say 3 odst but the final mission is comparable to a pretty hard halo 2 laso mission

[trail pasture]

What is .dusl.wielding?

[obsidian wyvern]

double plasma rifle

[trail pasture]

Ok

[sour scarab]

dusl wielding is when you wield 2 dusls

[steady jolt]

😂

[obsidian wyvern]

probably halo 3 laso, it's not the easiest but generally fine all around

good way to get into it

[trail pasture]

Why are they called dusls? Sorry this isn't my first language lol

[sour scarab]

ah yes dusls the tale aas old as time

[obsidian wyvern]

dual as in 2

[trail pasture]

So you typed dusl instead of dual by accident

[obsidian wyvern]

oh I didn't even see lol

[sour scarab]

no you did😭

[obsidian wyvern]

but yes

[sour scarab]

nvm

my brain is fried

im gonna excuse myself

[obsidian wyvern]

my brightness is too low

[trail pasture]

Don't worry, mine is fried too

I understand you

❤️

[sour scarab]

i have college next week so i have to pull an allnighter today to fix my sleep scheduale and its 11am

[steady jolt]

11.41 and I've looked at 1 email and filled in 1 box of a spreadsheet
Work is going great for me today - add my name to the brain fried club

Little one had me up most of the night 🙃

[trail pasture]

I wish you luck with that

[sour scarab]

i will prevail

[trail pasture]

Cool

[sour scarab]

damn bro is a cool halo dad

[steady jolt]

Soon as I can introduce her to Halo, it's happening

[sour scarab]

the co op legendary is happening

[trail pasture]

Very cool

[sour scarab]

walk? hmpffffffffffffffff beat halo ce on leganndaary yeaaaaaaa

[foggy pewter]

nah only the vehicle part of coastal highway is difficult

defending the olifant is like defending keyes

[trail pasture]

Buck was absolutely useless on the gun

I don't even know how I pulled it off under 3 hours

[foggy pewter]

that's why I just give him a fuel rod

[trail pasture]

I never tried that

[foggy pewter]

it's not that effective and it gets us killed half the time but when he does shoot straight and hit the vehicles, it goes well. altho very ineffective against the buggers

[meager linden]

Warship Gbraakon are done without any shot

[trail pasture]

Cool

Recently played through infinite for the first time

[meager linden]

Only need to find an energy sword

[trail pasture]

Pretty fun but there is a ton of wasted potential. Both the story and setpieces aren't as epic as in any other halo game

And the cutscenes are boring and fan service feels a little forced

[obsidian wyvern]

..yeah that's what I'm referencing

[bright halo]

Ong he crazy

Bro

[oak ibex]

🙏🏻

[sour scarab]

halsey you an opp

kidnapping chief like that

[oak ibex]

Like what?!

[sour scarab]

john was 7 years old...

you have no heart

[oak ibex]

Yes, I don’t have heart, is that a problem?

[sour scarab]

did you even care about your own son??!

jorge gave his life for reach thinking he had saved the planet, and...

[hasty zinc]

jorge wasn't halseys son

[oak ibex]

Good morning

[hasty zinc]

he said ma'am with an accent

[sour scarab]

yeah i was just rage baiting

but i admit defeat

[hasty zinc]

I can't get rid of this sickness. I'm dying

[jade gust]

So what happens to your status as moderator when you die? Does it pass on to the person that killed you like it does if you kill Santa?

[sour scarab]

dude is getting some big ideas

[hasty zinc]

how did you know???

[bright halo]

I was really shocked that people thought he said mom

I mean

[sour scarab]

santa?

[bright halo]

As far as I know

They are spartans 2

[hasty zinc]

big guy, red and white suit, gives presents, is a glutton for sweets

[bright halo]

3

And they werent kept in as kids

[hasty zinc]

jorge was a 2

[sour scarab]

yeah but if you kill santa you become santa?

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/b0nhV.gif

[jade gust]

I saw what happened to the last guy to kill Santa

[oak ibex]

Yes

[bright halo]

Oh

Didnt know that

[jade gust]

The IIIs were kids too, only the Orion Is and Spartan IVs were consenting adults

[bright halo]

Damn just failed the Halo lore test

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/mortal-kombat-soul-mine-pointing-gif-21380777

[oak ibex]

That’s a good idea to kidnap Santa and transform him into a Spartan

[sour scarab]

i swear ive played halo reach so many times and for some reason i never clocked that he was saying ma'am

[signal wedge]

Spartan Santa

[trail pasture]

Would be such a moral boost for humanity during human-covenant war

[trail pasture]

I played with subtitles and it was always ma'am :)

[oak ibex]

Yes

[trail pasture]

🙂

[fickle drift]

Should I play Halo 3: ODST after Halo 3

or just whenever I want

[rare cedar]

H3 first

[bright halo]

Play it before 3

[fickle drift]

ok which one

[bright halo]

Halo odst events are happening mid Halo 2 story line

[rare cedar]

I recommend playing the series in release order

[hasty zinc]

release order best order

[fickle drift]

but I played reach first

[rare cedar]

[bright halo]

Also did that

[fickle drift]

bcuz its the first on the list in the mcc

[bright halo]

What are yall yapping about release order 😭

[fickle drift]

The odst blue helmet thingy so cool

[rare cedar]

Fair point I guess

[bright halo]

I mean it sucks to go from Reach to CE

Bc of the gameplay

[fickle drift]

Didn't for me

[bright halo]

But story line speaking

[fickle drift]

I just played whatever

[rare cedar]

This is why release order is best as it makes sense visually

[bright halo]

Is neat

[bright halo]

I mean like

[rare cedar]

And game mechanics wise

[fickle drift]

and now I know what "Did we lose them" means

[bright halo]

Yeah

Exactly

[rare cedar]

But that was the mystery when everyone launched CE back in 2001

[fickle drift]

Does halo 3 odst have a nice soundtrack cuz i heard it does

[bright halo]

Fair point

[fickle drift]

ok

[bright halo]

Yeah Bro

[fickle drift]

:D

[bright halo]

Its neat as hell

[rare cedar]

ODST is a banger soundtrack if you like jazz

[bright halo]

Also the story

[fickle drift]

Ya like jazz?

[bright halo]

Playing as a Human

[fickle drift]

I do :3

[bright halo]

Just feels different

[bright halo]

A normal one at least

[fickle drift]

is master chief not some special human

[rare cedar]

Jazz is soothing to the ears

[fickle drift]

with special dna

dont tell me about the energy shield situation

i will find that out for myself

[bright halo]

I dont want to give any spoilers to you about the story

[fickle drift]

good

[bright halo]

Youll get to know that eventually through mcc

I finished it all in a week

Probably the best gaming experience Ive ever had

[fickle drift]

bruh what 😭

[bright halo]

Brother I used to play reach when I was a kid and fell in love with halo

But then my 360 just kinda died

Abd my parents got me a ps4

[fickle drift]

I thought it was xbox one game

[bright halo]

I hadnt played a Halo game for 8 years

Then I got a pc

[fickle drift]

Halo was one of the first pc game i play

[bright halo]

Yeah but it released for 360 too

[fickle drift]

Cool :D

[bright halo]

Good choice

[fickle drift]

my first was portal

[bright halo]

Playing it for the first time now?

[fickle drift]

no

first played in 2021

gg

but then i stopped

but now I'm so back

[bright halo]

I feel you man

The halo gaming experience is so Good

[fickle drift]

yes

[bright halo]

They dont make them games like they used to

[fickle drift]

Halo 2 is probably my fav so far but im not done with halo 3 so we shall seee

[bright halo]

Halo 3 is the goat for me

Dont rush for it

Its worth it playing odst first

Cuz youre still locked in on the halo 2 story

[fickle drift]

but im on mission 5 r smth

[bright halo]

3 or odst?

[fickle drift]

3

[bright halo]

Then continue playing it

[fickle drift]

ok

[bright halo]

Odst aint making you miss out on anything

[fickle drift]

does odst have yellow u

ui

hud

silly me

[bright halo]

Yeah

[fickle drift]

Yay :D

idk why i like that so much

[obsidian wyvern]

odst is the best mix of story/campaign gameplay imo

[edgy osprey]

Possibly

[scenic kettle]

I cant believe I carried that Grav Hammer all the way to the Didact and I didn't even get to use it!

[bright halo]

Didact would have smoked you regardless

He like Darth Vader or something

[lapis ivy]

Jesus lol

That's rough

[oak ibex]

Maybe

[scenic kettle]

TBH all I needed was an opportunity and a little bit of feedback.
You couldn't beat Guilty Spark with anything but the SL but I stil shot him for fun lol

[jade gust]

This might be a hot take but I kinda wish they just made Spark's fight with Chief a cutscene

[trail pasture]

And music

[meager linden]

Meh

[trim saddle]

no, ODST OST is top tier

and i dont even like jazz.

[lapis ivy]

Why not I used to have the soundtrack

I had four CD halo soundtracks starting with CE , CE anniversary odst and Halo 5

[trail pasture]

Truly a man of culture

[trail pasture]

It's okay if you don't like odst music

[trim saddle]

no its not ok (it totally is actually)

[trail pasture]

What kind of music do you like? :)

[noble wyvern]

Halo ce . cea and odst osts are bangers

[trail pasture]

I agree (It really is ok)

[lapis ivy]

I could recollect them again and probably buy Halo 2 anniversary CD in the future

[noble wyvern]

Halo 2 had like the best soundtrack

The main theme is so good

[trail pasture]

CEA has a good one and I like its epic drums but I feel like original snare and synth sounds are cooler in songs such as Covenant dance and its remaster variant

[trail pasture]

True

[lapis ivy]

I really hate getting premium on Spotify all the time just to to listen to them instead of getting the CDs

[trail pasture]

It's a gift for a metalhead such as myself

[noble wyvern]

And also I just noticed one of the songs in odst that one of the songs sound similar to halo reach's theme

I was playing odst 3 like a few days ago a and heard a song that had the same beet to halo reach's

[lapis ivy]

Is it the one with the falling space elevator mission?

I know there's one in the song called neon night

[meager linden]

Same in Halo 4 Spartans Ops

[trail pasture]

Halo reach also has Covenant Dance from CE in the mission Tip of The Spear

I also remember odst having spooky string ambient from CE

From The Maw

[lusty cairn]

microsoft is a joke

[hasty zinc]

let me guess, secret level

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[steady jolt]

Valve also said no, from what I heard

[normal owl]

Yeah they must not know what they're doing to become one of the top 3 most valuable publicly traded companies in the world smh.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

praying for an episode for both in season 2 though

and hopefully theyre able to do longer ~40 min ones

[meager linden]

Good night Spartans

[open imp]

Does anyone wanna help me get 2 achievements on mcc it’s the 4 player yoke if anyone looking

I’m on Xbox I hav gold too

And a mic

[jade gust]

Here's hoping that they get the funding to do longer episodes

[sacred mantle]

I wonder what the next halo will be

[normal owl]

elliptical

[past tapir]

will the winter update battle pass leave

[floral pollen]

Shoot, I was really hoping it'd be square

[viral dune]

No

[floral pollen]

Also no, none of the passes will leave

[jade gust]

I was hoping for a triangle Halo next

[past tapir]

it said easy anti cheat removed me from my game im not cheating what do i do and well i wasnt removed when i was queing it said restart your game anti cheat had a error what happend?

is it because i have a vpn?

[normal owl]

[hasty zinc]

[normal owl]

[fickle drift]

Lmao

[rare cedar]

They’re just sigma betas with Ohio-less rizz

I feel like I need to wash my hands and screen after typing that

[bleak shoal]

Hehe

[bleak shoal]

Rock in a hard place

It goes so friggin hard

[spare thorn]

it is wild that at every turn you guys betray the entirety of your community. A community that has done nothing but try to support you through thick and thin, trust you through rocky and unfinished releases, and even during a leadership change. But I guess none of that matters when you're profit motivated and dont actually care about the community.
I was so hopeful for a fresh page, being a long time halo fan, literally since I was a kid. Seeing MCC be brought to pc was a dream come true to me, only ever having played Project cartographer and halo cepc, and now Halo MCC is an abandonware mess of hackers and trolls with no word from Halo Studios on any effort to fix it, paired with community members being told that their content isnt even theirs, that it doesnt count as actually content because a dev didnt make it.
And most of all, Halo infinite remaining the lackluster piece of garbage it was on release, because Halo Studios hates listening to their fans and actually creating a proper fully functioning halo game.

Good Job guys, you killed Halo. the next release will have criminally low sales, and will probably be the full end of Halo Studios, and Halo as a first party Microsoft title.

Not my Halo

[bleak shoal]

I just got jumpscared by this text. Wasn't expecting this

[spare thorn]

sorry

[bleak shoal]

It's OK

[spare thorn]

I'm upset and felt I needed to post it here

[bleak shoal]

Aight

I'm pretty mad about some stuff too but it's aight

[steady hemlock]

what's your main issue?

[bleak shoal]

But tbh. Alot of people say Halo is dead but let's be honest, they're gonna come back and buy the next game

[spare thorn]

of course they will, I still bought infinite and it was by far the worst release they had yet. thats just halo, we are a loyal bunch

[steady hemlock]

well it is free

[spare thorn]

the campaign isnt lmao

[steady hemlock]

yeah i know

[spare thorn]

$60 ea open world slop

[steady hemlock]

but i feel like the multiplayer is prety solid

[bleak shoal]

Halo Infinite is a good sign though imo. The gameplay, the sandbox, and now how it's full of content. (I mean the campaign was lackluster af compared to other games. Halo 5 was lowkey cooler lol)

But they just have to get the launch right and actually interesting campaign with cool stuff happening and we might have the best Halo yet

[spare thorn]

the mechanics were fine, the fact that they made it live service with $20 for blue is wild, that kind of monetisation I think doesnt belong in halo unless its a spinoff title instead of a mainline release

[bleak shoal]

Though days are gone now. I mean stuff is still overpriced but that's probably inflation or something

[rare cedar]

That was 2021

[bleak shoal]

Doesn't make sense why I can't buy individual stuff from bundles tbh

[steady hemlock]

i actually do agree with you on MCC. it's really gone down hill.

[steady jolt]

MCC was patched like 2 weeks ago, it's not abandonware

[eager jasper]

its getting regular security patches to stop cheaters. ^^ They're maintaining it well.

[steady hemlock]

oh hyeah i guess the newest update was nov '24

[hasty zinc]

guys stop using logic, that doesn't fit their narrative!!

[bleak shoal]

I mean its a 10 year old game and it aint live service bro
