general-chat

[crimson star]

though I don't have many of those

I played Ark once and used to watch it some half a decade ago?

does that count

[lapis ivy]

I used to have many figs from McFarlane's toys

[crimson star]

I've wanted those myself

I also really want the Reach special edition figure display

But finding one that is complete and not a crazy price is hard

there's always something missing; a sniper/hand, a rifle, an entire figure even sometimes

[lapis ivy]

Those were great but you had to be careful with the articulation cause they would fall apart or get loose or loose their accessories

[crimson star]

I have a soft spot for the Scout armor for not particular reason

and I know they did a few of those

I also adore Reach Hazop armor

[dry lintel]

McFarlane toys were from the bungie era, right?

[lapis ivy]

True that I have an interest for weapon replicas and that includes the fuel rod gun from CE but they never made one

[crimson star]

I believe so? At least googling the figs seems to suggest that

The packaging is "nostalgic looking" if that makes sense and the armors seem to be based off 3 and Reach

[dry lintel]

I’m only seeing up to Reach so I imagine that’s the case

[crimson star]

With how detailed they are, I think trying to mold H4 armor would bankrupt them lol

[lapis ivy]

U can still find them at Amazon but their prices have gone up

[dry lintel]

I stand corrected, they DO have halo 4!

Multiple series

[crimson star]

would you look at that

I actually don't hate the H4 warrior armor

[dry lintel]

It’s one of the best 343 designs if you ask me

[crimson star]

I have a few mega figs of it and it's pretty nice

[fast raptor]

I actually just got my delivery of Jazwares in today

[lapis ivy]

A single figure or a set?

[crimson star]

There's this one armor that I'm blanking on the name, it has a fully covered visor with an extending front...

[dry lintel]

Scanner?

[fast raptor]

big shot pack and Vale + Promethean Soldier

[crimson star]

No, I don't think so. I think finding the fig to find the name will be easier

[fast raptor]

So now I have all of fireteam Osiris minus Tanaka, but jazwares only has a 12" of her anyways

The halo 2 chief and cloaked arby go INCREDIBLY hard

[sand quartz]

whatever happened to last spartan standing?

[crimson star]

gungnir is the name!

[lapis ivy]

I once bought a Promethean knight figure but it fell apart lol I should've kept it in the package

[sand quartz]

they should add that back

[dry lintel]

Oh yeah, duh. I should have gotten that

[crimson star]

Though is gungnir an armor set or helmet attachment?

[sand quartz]

Helmet in reach, attachment in infinite

[fast raptor]

I've been collecting Jazwares only super recently, I got a three pack in like 2021 and never expanded it and I've been bored with disposable income

[crimson star]

Still, when it comes to "fully covered visors," I really like gungnir

[dry lintel]

Yeah they got all weird with infinite and had “stormfall” which is the gen 3 gungnir, then they added actual gungnir

[sand quartz]

Wait, it says blast visor

so, the face covering is an attachment

[crimson star]

I'll be honest, I've never played Infinite due to the game size

I miss when Halo 4 was like 8gb or something

[fast raptor]

I'd assume that's the context

[crimson star]

Also I try to avoid games with micro/macrotransactions. Because I hate them but am not strong-willed enough to resist if the cosmetic is fire.

[fast raptor]

Even though you can't remove it in Reach I'm sure that's still the explanation for it, don't see why that can't be retroactive

[fast raptor]

You have a stronger will than I do lmao

[crimson star]

I do hear that Infinite has a lot of free stuff

[sand quartz]

ig

[dry lintel]

Gungnir attachment for stormfall, then actual gungnir helmet from reach as well. totally not confusing

[crimson star]

Though I hate limited time content and am not aware what "battlepass" style it is

[sand quartz]

everything is permanent

like you can unlock stuff after, but you got to pay

only the battle passes give you back the credits though

[crimson star]

What do you guys think of Reach ODSTs? I hear some people prefer 3 or ODST.

[fast raptor]

Yeah for what it's worth you CAN look good for cheap in infinite and the fomo has gotten better over the years

[sand quartz]

not the operations

[sand quartz]

all are good in my opinon

[lapis ivy]

Fomo is everywhere these days @fast raptor

[crimson star]

I find Reach ODSTs to be really nice with all their attachments. Though I can see the superior love for ODST's ODSTs

[sand quartz]

Reach odsts seem a little more tactical

[crimson star]

As in I see why some prefer 3 ODST

[sand quartz]

while odst odsts look a lot more like their own thing

[crimson star]

I will alway be 50/50 split between H2 and H3–Reach

[dry lintel]

3

[crimson star]

Both are amazing

[fast raptor]

Yea you can't really escape it in the modern western gaming market

[crimson star]

I wish both could coexist in some way because H2's design is simply too good to just be left behind

[fast raptor]

But it used to be so much worse with infinite

[crimson star]

Well, for what it's worth, it could be the Asian gacha market

Probably will be some day

[dry lintel]

halo 2 classic odsts fit right in with CE in some of the custom campaigns i've played

the anniversary model always gave me pilot vibes

[sand quartz]

I wish they added Last Spartan Standing back into Infinite though

[crimson star]

ODST cosplays always end up looking so badass. I wish I could afford one or had the time and skill to make one myself.

[fast raptor]

that has it's places though
I'm not doing gacha in elden ring or monster hunter

[crimson star]

I find the cultural gap between the Western and Asian gaming markets to be fascinating. I talked with a guy from the Philippines iirc and they said they didn't understand why "us Americans" (RIP everywhere else lol) got so upset about microtransactions in our game; that he prefers games with them.

It's a mindset I'd never seen before, so I found it interesting

[sand quartz]

🤨

Why pay when you can play?

Maybe money is used differently?

Like, more of a way to skip the grind due to busy schedules?

[crimson star]

I can't remember the rest of their justifications for liking microtransactions. I myself just can't understand it.

[sand quartz]

more balanced

like sure you can pay, but you aren't getting more than those who grind

[crimson star]

Especially when we enter macrotransaction territory

So stuff over $5

[sand quartz]

but like if you pay, you're still getting a good deal

[crimson star]

Doesn't Infinite have some stuff for as high as $20? Or am I mistaken

[tight remnant]

and higher

[sand quartz]

it does

[crimson star]

Because that's literally over an hour of minimum wage.

For one cosmetic

which I find crazy

90% of the games I buy these days cost $20 and under

[dry lintel]

with how expensive games cost to make these days im surprised we didnt get microtransactions sooner

[lapis ivy]

Well like I want the inciter armor in infinite but it's expensive

[crimson star]

At least it's all cosmetics I guess? Trying to not be 100% cynical

[tight remnant]

i dont think they should cost that much

[crimson star]

and not like gameplay impacting stuff

[sand quartz]

they should just let us be able to earn credits or any other in-game money at a resonable rate

like maybe 5-10 per win

[crimson star]

It all has to do with the shifting mindset and favoritism to "live service" games.

[lapis ivy]

U saying they bring back creds@sand quartz

[sand quartz]

I mean in halo infinite

because it's already there

just make it earnable

wait, did you mean like reach?

[lapis ivy]

True

[dry lintel]

expectations for multiplayer videogames have gone through the roof, you can only ask for so much content without there being a price tag on something eventually

[crimson star]

I don't like live service games that much, namely Fo76 comes to mind. But they can be good in some instances. And at the end of the day you get more content (kind of?)

I just want my games to be functional and complete at launch

[sand quartz]

like reach?

[crimson star]

not a half-finished beta that is sold at full price

then they release the rest of the game as DLC (cough STARFIELD cough)

[lapis ivy]

No not reach but like the previous currency we used back in infinite @sand quartz

[dry lintel]

Infinite absolutely dropped the ball on the content portion imo, they had the mtx ready, which would have been fine if they could have matched it in content. Such is life.

[sand quartz]

credits is still there though

i mean like merge spartan points and credits

[crimson star]

Actually, wait, thinking about it. DLC that used to consist of an entire micro-game with tens of hours of content used to cost say $10–20)

[lapis ivy]

You got a good point ngl

[crimson star]

So looking back at that, $20 for a skin is ridiculous

I should be getting an Old World Blues of content here

[lapis ivy]

That sounds like a good idea of merging both together

[tight remnant]

i wish we could earn the store stuff in game with SP

[crimson star]

What currency does MCC use?

That system is decent, at least I can get stuff by just playing

[tight remnant]

spartan points

[crimson star]

Though the whole rotating shop is meh

it's like fomo but not really because it just cycles to my knowledge

[dry lintel]

still think its crazy that the average AAA videogame isnt just 100 dollars now. People went crazy over the increase from 60 to 70 but the gaming industry has had that price for like 30 years, no other industry is like that.

[sand quartz]

I think the infinite shop is just a catalog now

but like some stuff is displayed

[crimson star]

Meanwhile Sims 4 is 1000+ dollars 😭

[dry lintel]

arrr 🏴‍☠️

[crimson star]

Apparently just under $1200 as of 9 months ago

[fast raptor]

Call me dumb but I really think lower cost of micro transactions are more profitable because more people would justify spending the money on it

[crimson star]

Jackal approved method

[crimson star]

Idk, people are dumber with their money than you'd think

[dry lintel]

kig yarrrrr

[crimson star]

I keep begging my brother not to buy so many Fortnite skins

yet he does

[fast raptor]

Like I'm not gonna spend $20 on a single cosmetic no matter how cool it is, but split that and I'll think about it ykyk?

[crimson star]

doesn't even use half of them more than once

he's a sucker for the system

[dry lintel]

yeah fortnite really did a number

[crimson star]

Don't people Bethesda with starting this whole crisis?

ahem, the horse armor

[dry lintel]

yeah thats the OG microtransaction

[fast raptor]

I remember people getting pissy when Bungie released the mythic map pack for 10 dollars

[dry lintel]

good. they split the playerbase

[fast raptor]

I think a map pack would be way more worth my money than cosmetics but forge is so good now I don't know if they could do it

[crimson star]

I remember back in the day Minecraft for the 360 had texture packs and stuff you could buy

[fast raptor]

It's still that way actually for bedrock edition

[crimson star]

4J studios are still updating most of them over a decade later...

for Bedrock now ofc

Including the Halo pack iirc

and the Fallout pack

[dry lintel]

yeah and for some reason now people think making a forge map that 343 uses entitles you to a paycheck

[crimson star]

The Bedrock Marketplace is.... nightmare fuel

there's a "skbidi toilet skinpack" on there, not joking

[hybrid plover]

bob

[fast raptor]

I think the only good point for that is just how reliant infinite is on community content right now

But there's nothing anywhere that'll tell you you'll get paid for forging so it's like trying to make money appear for yourself out of nowhere

and with the current state of Halo there's no way they can just go about dumping money at forgers for maps

[signal wedge]

Ok

[faint mantle]

I've learned that most of the time, your brother looks back and evaluates what he did with his money, may call it well spent or not
But it has to be a realization that he made, or else it may not stick.

Source: I have a brother, and also I've been that brother

[signal wedge]

I mean some people spend all their money they make so..

[faint mantle]

And that's on them

[signal wedge]

I'm glad the battle passes in Infinite is forever

[faint mantle]

Plenty of folks, myself included, often won't learn the most valuable lessons until life teaches us.

[dense shoal]

ive seen a lot of 343 hate recently but 343 taking over halowas the best thing to happen

imagine if current bungie still had halo

[fickle drift]

Horror

[dense shoal]

the absolute horror

removal of content

basically no base game

[fickle drift]

Bungie is a complete mess now

[dense shoal]

"expansions" costing more than a new triple a game

pvp being p2w

any and all things bad

at least with 343 the worst thing theyve done is push cosmetics

however bad it is right now it couldve been worse

at least we still get new games

destiny 2 is on whatever removable expansion its on rn

plus halo 4 multiplayer as far as i can tell is pretty refreshing

im still on odst so i wont be to the actual campaign for another 1 1/2 campaigns

but as far as i can tell the only difference is sprint and loadouts

and no dual wield

[lapis ivy]

Well I at least I enjoy forge

Cosmetics come later

[dense shoal]

ireally dont understand the halo 4 hate

cant play 5 so idk there

infinite is terrible

poorly optimized, terrible graphics, cosmetics are greedy

[lapis ivy]

Halo 5 and 4 weren't that bad just that forge didn't have AI spawning tools etc

[dense shoal]

i wish they would remaster 5 and bring it to pc so i can see if its good or bad

its surprising basically no one plays 4's multiplayer on mcc

[signal wedge]

Imagine if Halo is owned by not Microsoft

[dense shoal]

if it wasnt it would still be xbox exclusive

[signal wedge]

Microsoft owns Xbox

[dense shoal]

anyways imma go see if anyone wants to play odst firefight

[signal wedge]

It's not like Sony will not release it on PC

[lapis ivy]

I hate running MCC on PC cause whenever I quit the game controllers get stuck and can't relaunch the game afterwards

[dense shoal]

bloodborne pain

i play on steam deck

60fps halo mcc on the go

firefight anywhere

[lapis ivy]

How does that even work?

[dense shoal]

amazing it works amazing

steam deck is literally just a handheld gaming pc

steam os is just a branch of arch linux

its got desktop mode and gaming mode

desktop is like your average desktop

[lapis ivy]

And you don't have trouble running MCC on it and when you quit the game your controller gets stuck or can't move joycons around idk I haven't gotten one

[dense shoal]

while gaming mode is basically just big picture mode baked into the os

[dense shoal]

no issues for me

its seamless

[lapis ivy]

👍

I hate the issues I have with it lol

[dense shoal]

steam deck is well worth the investment

think about it this way

youre in bed playing halo

you gotta go to the bathroom but youre midmatch

steam deck is portable

dont even need to pause

need a snack?

dont need to pause

need a drink?

dont need to pause

also you got 3 different ways to aim

joystick, trackpad, and gyro

basically mouse aim on controller

steam input is also baked in

so you can have crazy controller configs

like when i play quake i have 3 different inputs on a single button

each having different triggers

like regular press, long press, and double press

you can even make button coords

like if i press this button then this button then this triggers

steam deck has extreme customization

[lapis ivy]

That seems handy for me I play with infinite more than I play with MCC cause of the controller getting stuck on PC steam and even tho I'm using an Xbox controller which should work but I play with forge cause of the AI spawning and creativity both MCC and ark survival ascended I kinda don't touch cause of the controller issues

[dense shoal]

i played cyberpunk 2077 with rtx on

on steam deck

thats how powerful it is

[lapis ivy]

I'm pretty sure you can connect the deck to the tv like if it were a switch

Idk I'll probably check it out later

[bold lark]

🍆

[signal wedge]

Ok

Wow

[smoky token]

at what frame rate lol

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[worthy ginkgo]

can you put mods on mcc steam deck?

[dense shoal]

anything a pc can do a steam deck can do

[dense shoal]

20-30fps with cryoutilities 2.0's recommended settings

but push the deck past 30

still cryoutilities is a requirement for it

[neat steppe]

I had a weird dream when I was playing halo CE
I was walking in a hall with "there she is" and "vib-ribbon" pictures all over the place
And there is a door when I opened it there was an army of the mantel troopers from haze (the Infamous halo killer) I started running while Baki mati playing from the yakuza series
I got stuck and when kazuma kiryu said "dame da ne" the mantel troopers shot me and I died

[meager linden]

At least your dream has not been made up by AI

[neat steppe]

Real

Unless is Cortana

[meager linden]

You know, my dreams are much worse than yours, and they really are made up by AI
Random explosion, people are just vanishing like nothing lol

[neat steppe]

Tbh I had a dream when I was a kid that young me was driving a monster truck and doing stunts
I did a stunt when I just flew away and then I got exploded
I'm not kidding

Tbh is funny how the x360 had like 4 different layouts through the time and the ps3 was still the same through the years (talking about the console UI)

[neat steppe]

(that is a completely different topic tho)

[rare shoal]

Hey does anyone have an official update from Halo Studios about Digsite?

[rare cedar]

The studio hasn’t released anything official regarding Digsite

[jade gust]

Am I controversial for this?

[meager linden]

Chimera should be on "F" and mark 4 should be on "S"

But that list are pretty good

[signal wedge]

Am I the only one that hate the crysis looking armor

[pulsar heron]

@fickle drift • please dont post memes here. also, please try to avoid dropping links with no context

[safe dawn]

To some people yes, me, no

[safe dawn]

No, but i personally like it

[jade gust]

I feel like I need to fight you for putting the Infinite Mark VI below the H2 Mark VI

[jade gust]

It's neat looking armour

[safe dawn]

Tbh, I don't like any of the master chief kits in halo infinite

Infinite chief is too blocky for me, mk vi alpha is just too small, and mark v is just kinda eh to me

I know a galley worker did not just react with that emote

[fickle drift]

I maintain Infinite is the best Chief has ever looked.

[jade gust]

Agreed

[jade gust]

I think Infinite's Mark V is the best it's ever looked, but I wish the helmet had the visor grooves we got on the Mark V Delta

[finite haven]

I may get beat up for this but I thoroughly enjoyed Halo Infinite and play it daily.

[jade gust]

Why would we beat you up for that?

[finite haven]

Because it seems like a lot of people hate on infinite and say MCC is better.

[steady jolt]

Don't listen to them. It's lame to beat up on someone just because they enjoy a certain game

Glad you're having fun with Infinite :)

[finite haven]

What do you guys think is better, MCC or Infinite?

[fickle drift]

MCC, but for one I’m biased and I do think Infinite is a solid gameplay foundation for the next game to branch off from.

[finite haven]

Out of curiosity, why do you feel that way?

[fickle drift]

A bunch of reasons.
Variety of content, better performance (older games so that’s a given), much better PvE in general.

And nostalgia, if I don’t mention that I’ll get called out so.

[meager linden]

Both

[fickle drift]

Plus I just like going into a H3 or a Reach match where at least my muscle memory and game sense is ingrained enough that I don’t suck most of the time.

[jade gust]

Also MCC is just a larger package than Infinite in regards to the content there is. Infinite is a single game, whereas MCC is a collection of six games

Like, I love Infinite but comparing it to the whole of MCC, it's clear which one offers more

[steady jolt]

Yeah, it's a bit of an unfair comparison

[finite haven]

I will die on this hill that Infinite is better. Yeah there's more games and the nostalgia but Infinite has better multi-player, less cheaters, and is (finally) a well put together game.

[obsidian wyvern]

that's an opinion you can hold lol

[fickle drift]

I mean hey play what you like, more power to you.

[finite haven]

I love the fact that you guys are too nice to debate me.

[obsidian wyvern]

i would only argue if someone said ce was a better game than the rest 😤

[signal wedge]

Halo Wars > MCC

[obsidian wyvern]

🥴

sure

[signal wedge]

yes!!

[finite haven]

If you insist but I hated HW

[signal wedge]

HW the only game with Jerome

[finite haven]

HW was a good idea but executed poorly.

[candid tusk]

I'm still waiting on a Halo: Battlefront announcement.

[jade gust]

I'd rather there be a Battlefront III than Halo try to copy Battlefront

Which reminds me, there's a really cool mod for Battlefront II that I am real tempted by but I'd need to get the game on PC first

[drowsy coyote]

Wasn’t done poorly at all

Not the biggest rts fan but they’re fun games

[jade gust]

Halo Wars 1 was one of the first console RTS games, right?

[ocean herald]

Nah reach owns that title

[candid tusk]

Negative. Earliest off the top of my head is Command and Conquer for N64, but there are for sure older ones.

Taking google's word for it, Herzog Zwei for Sega Mega Drive would be the first.

[viscid nest]

what is hazmat doing on A tier

[dry lintel]

Hazmat over half of those is crazy

[safe dawn]

Hazmat is good when you have the parts for it

(Most of which are behind a paywall but oh well)

[jade gust]

I like HAZMAT stuff

Part of it is because it's yellow but also because I think it's neat

[restive plover]

I thought that it is an interesting take on armor.
I dont want all of my armor kits looking the same.
We need to diversify the armor, and that did a pretty good job.

[jade gust]

Indeed

Like, Mark VII and Mark V[b] are very similar, but I feel one is better than the other in terms of execution of how it looks

[obsidian wyvern]

hazmat doesnt have enough to be anything special imo

[still thistle]

Real

I personally like the classic chunky halo 1 armor

[trim saddle]

Im waiting for a yoroi kit, i dont think it has one yet lol

[obsidian wyvern]

would be interesting

[forest lagoon]

I got my acceptance letter to the MSF course
But in the section of "What to bring" for some reason the had to specify that any drinks brought need to be NON-Alcoholic

Who brought alcohol to a class where state troopers teach you to ride a motorcycle

[jade gust]

There's always that one person

[meager linden]

Lesson will be fun

[normal owl]

enough people that they had to amend the boilerplate language of a notice given to every attendee hahaha

[drowsy coyote]

Guys hear me out

Let’s re release the first 3 halos again

And then make halo 7

[meager linden]

Lol no

[drowsy coyote]

🎉🎉

Release Halo 2 for the 5th time

[molten pelican]

I'd say have fun but now idek if that's possible

[forest lagoon]

LOL

[gusty sparrow]

I’m waiting for my beloved H3 recon. (Rogue as well). Just import every armour from H3 :p

[meager linden]

Good night Spartans

[red dragon]

Hello im new to halo

[shy plume]

Hello

[cinder dune]

caboose??

from red vs blue

[forest lagoon]

or like the last car on a train?

[trim saddle]

we were told in the Army.. if theres a rule posted somewhere, it has happened TOO often and there HAD to be a posting about it

[candid tusk]

Safety regulations are written in blood and all that.

[covert dove]

[trim saddle]

[forest lagoon]

and knowing how people be peopling, I fully believe it happened more than once XD
Just like the application form it had in big bold letters:
"To join this course, you must have bicycle ridding skills. Can you ride a bicycle? _Yes _No"

And I'm like, whose showing up to this that doesn't know how to ride a bicycle!? But if it's on the form... lol

[weary gust]

Yoroi's a bit high and Mirage is a bit low... But overall, can't really argue except Chimera, bold move there.
Though putting the kits there at all is pretty generous.

[candid solar]

Never cook again

[candid solar]

Free my man Boggart he did nothing wrong and isn't even a core

[jade gust]

At least it ain't F tier

[viscid nest]

i can hear the percs calling

[dry lintel]

Boggart and Eaglestrike having a mid off

I only like wendigo for the lore, otherwise I would never use it

[obsidian wyvern]

id rather chimera aimed to be more like that than what it is

[trim saddle]

Each core can look good, just gotta set it up right.

which sucks because the stuff to make them look good is behind a paywall most of the time.

[dry lintel]

Exactly, the fracture cores are hard to make look good without spending money

Chimera can look super dope

Eaglestrike imo is the worst, I have never liked mine

[trim saddle]

oh I LOVE my ES setup.

if i could post screenshots, i would.

[dry lintel]

Drip channel

[trim saddle]

im not gonna post it to some other website just to share a link, its too much work

[dry lintel]

You don’t.

Literally just upload it to #1164394180676681798

[trim saddle]

Oh yeah i see that now, sweet. thank you.

posted 🙂

[molten pelican]

I don't really like chimera but that is lovely

Nice color

What helmet is that?

[fickle drift]

Mater chif

[jade gust]

Mine's just cosplaying Santa, so I can just use that every December

[jade gust]

Spartanstein helmet with the helmet attachment originally for the Rampart helmet

[meager linden]

[trim saddle]

[fickle drift]

[restive yarrow]

rip

[trim saddle]

nah we welcome new people, theres a halo for everyone to like.

they just gotta find the one that they enjoy more. theres plenty out there 🙂

[obsidian wyvern]

chimera will never look good 😤

[molten pelican]

Yeah I don't like it lol but I like recons build tbh

[red dragon]

What happend

[restive yarrow]

The halo franchise kinda died.

[red dragon]

Dang

[molten pelican]

It's not dead. What would you like to know about the games

[red dragon]

I just tried the game like a week ago and kinda like it

[molten pelican]

Which one?

[red dragon]

Infinite hehe

[jade gust]

Can't be dead if new stuff is being made as we talk

Now, what is dead is Noble Six

[molten pelican]

Nice, I'd recommend checking out MCC, goes on sale and has all of the older games and campaigns

I'd recommend playing them through by release date

[restive yarrow]

Ah yes, a game full of hackers, where the most fun gamemode (halo r invasion) is not even in the casual playlist, making it effectively unplayable.

[molten pelican]

Major skill issue

[analog knot]

Define "Full of hackers"

[restive yarrow]

So getting banned by a hacker is a skill issue now lol...

People flying around the map and banning their opponents

[analog knot]

Your likelihood of matching a cheater in that game, especially outside of ranked, is veryyyyyyyyyyyyyy low

[molten pelican]

Dunno what they're talking about

[analog knot]

They watched the same Mint Blitz video all of these kids did, probably

[molten pelican]

If you encounter a cheater, you can report them as well, never heard of or seen what you are talking about

[restive yarrow]

Exactly

Videos are my only source of info on the game at this point. I'm not returning until they add the invasion gamemode to where it's supposed to be

[analog knot]

Cheating problem isnt as bad as he made it seem - but he has to make it seem worse, to get visibility. For the small portion of the population it affects (ranked players) its a big issue.

[restive yarrow]

Which is never

[molten pelican]

Do you hear yourself lol

So you've not even experienced this?

[red dragon]

Interesting

[restive yarrow]

Experienced what

I used to play the game until 2021

[analog knot]

You claim its a terrible problem making the game unplayable, but you dont even play it

Thats so common it hurts

[restive yarrow]

Why would I play a game with such problems

[molten pelican]

The game isn't as big as other shooters such as COD, however it is certainly not dead and the studios have multiple projects being worked on and regular updates.

[analog knot]

Again, I know where your misconception comes from - you're not informed - but its frustrating.

[winter flame]

Why would you believe everything you hear in a video online

[molten pelican]

They're mental

[winter flame]

At least they're not a spork

[molten pelican]

Aye

[restive yarrow]

Because no one stepped out to even disprove it

[winter flame]

play the game and find out?

[analog knot]

You are literally believing propaganda 😄

[winter flame]

or dont and dont spread false information?

[molten pelican]

Literally play it lmao

I think it's a troll, I'm going to leave it now

[dry lintel]

All I needed to know lmao

[analog knot]

Those videos are intended to get people upset to force 343 to take notice and make changes. Not to make you fold your arms and sit saying "Mint Blitz told me to"

[restive yarrow]

Either way, this isn't the reason I'm ignoring the game anyway

Not the main one at least

[red dragon]

Its oke tho i suck at online play

[winter flame]

well lesson for you, if you have a suggestion, focus on that, dont whine about a bunch of other stuff you dont even know to be an issue

[red dragon]

I like campaign and firefight

[restive yarrow]

What's even the point of suggestions if the game's support has been plugged out lol

[analog knot]

Im back, just watched MB video and found out Halo is coming to Playstation, Halo 5 is coming to PC, and more! Pog!

[analog knot]

Even this isnt true

If the games support has been pulled why did it have 4 major releases in the last few years - and the last bug fix was in December

[restive yarrow]

I'm pretty sure this has happened around a year ago

[winter flame]

whats even the point of your messages if you think this?

[steady jolt]

MCC was patched right before the holidays

[trim saddle]

and infinite has constant operations.

[analog knot]

Its not fair, it wasnt in a Mint Blitz video so this person couldnt know

[dry lintel]

Mint Blitz told me to leave the game if I don’t get the sniper

[trim saddle]

so dude clearly isnt listening to people who currently play the games, not much we can do to convince if theyd rather listen to a video from a mid utuber

[restive yarrow]

Damn, I'm starting to feel like this whole chat got farmed by mint blitz in matchmaking at some point

[molten pelican]

It's probably best to move at this point, they don't seem to want to hear it

[dry lintel]

I wouldn’t know, I’m not in his bot lobbies

[analog knot]

I was too busy submitting clips for his videos about the cheating issues 😄

[trim saddle]

basically it lol ill just continue to like the games and enjoy playing them since theyre not dead or broken.

[winter flame]

i've never played with the guy and i use to like him but his viewers are some of the most annoying folk in this server and contribute very little to the conversation because of the nature of his content. thats why he's seen to negatively here and its his own fault

[restive yarrow]

I'm not sure what we are even arguing about. My main problem with the game is that the dev team refuses to make invasion playable again

And mint isn't the only halo youtuber im watching anyway

[winter flame]

i mean yeah a lot of them are the same lol

[restive yarrow]

All of them actually. There is no room for positive attitude towards halo anymore

[winter flame]

bruh

[restive yarrow]

Hence all youtubers are making negative content

Since like 2014 lol...

[winter flame]

its not even that he's negative

its that he spreads information in such a misleading way

doesnt correct himself etc

[molten pelican]

Mintz seems pretty positive in general tbf

[red dragon]

I hope theres 3rd person in campaign cuz i wanna see chief cool armor

[winter flame]

and then other youtubers regurgitate his content

[jade gust]

If you played in 2021, you wouldn't have experienced the cheaters at all, since there were barely any back then

[restive yarrow]

Only if you pick a turret in halo 3

[jade gust]

Sure, there are more now, but it's not like every game is just cheaters upon cheaters upon cheaters

[restive yarrow]

Yeah there were no cheaters back than

[analog knot]

My friend

[jade gust]

Exocyber is asking for a third person mode like what's seen in Infinite's multiplayer. And it wasn't just a turret that put you in third person, driving does so too

[analog knot]

There were cheaters flying in Halo 3 on Xbox

[restive yarrow]

And as I said, this isn't even my main complaint

[molten pelican]

Yeah, not all of his content is really that horrible, but like you said he's great at spreading misinformation even about things that are currently irrelevant, I don't have strong feeling about him perse, this dude here was just a good example of his annoying fan base

[restive yarrow]

Cheaters... on xbox?

[winter flame]

i lost all respect from the guy when he made his completely baseless claims about the SBMM system after 343 publicly stated it didnt work the way he claimed it did

[analog knot]

Yeah, imagine that

[winter flame]

i actually was warming to him before that

[molten pelican]

That's when I stopped watching him lmao

[winter flame]

the sheer number of people regurgitating what he said in that video was just painful

[molten pelican]

He got worse

Liked his campaign trick vids

[jade gust]

Xbox is not immune to cheaters existing. It's rare but does happen

[winter flame]

i genuinely think 343 should have just cut off all relations with him after that

[analog knot]

He has good intentions, thats what I care about 🙂 end of the day, net positive, we can all improve on our approach

[restive yarrow]

I have literally never seen one in all of my years of playing Xbox 360 and one as a kid tbh

[analog knot]

And for the record @restive yarrow I completely agree Invasion should be social (or ranks adjusted so that its possible in any rank to match)

[jade gust]

Having dealt with someone who did much worse than Mint is back at my old job, it's likely more complex than simply cutting ties. Not in a "He has some dirt on HS" kind of way but still

[analog knot]

Youre allowed to be uneducated on a topic, but doesnt make your perspective correct

[jade gust]

They definitely do exist

[restive yarrow]

Oh god, I'd rather stay for an extra hour in que than play against high rank invasion players

[molten pelican]

I wonder what Rev thinks about mintz!

[obsidian wyvern]

pretty sure the 1 match i played against him i won

[jade gust]

Thanks for beating him Rev

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

i dont have the whole screenshot idk why, probably just snipped it

[jade gust]

Oh you didn't just beat him

You destroyed him (And tragically also Panda)

[obsidian wyvern]

i think panda was just farming kills on him lmao

[jade gust]

Oh worm

[obsidian wyvern]

(but both are way better than ill ever be)

[molten pelican]

trash panda

[trim saddle]

doesnt he generally quit if he knows he wont win by a big margin?

[molten pelican]

Idk, from what I've seen he still looks like a solid player

[obsidian wyvern]

idk if i have the high res version

i do

[molten pelican]

What the quality

You've won, but at what cost

[red dragon]

Ow i found opulent halo

He play in 3rd person

[winter flame]

PC gamer Rev is gonna be the goat

[molten pelican]

He will finish building it by 2027

[viral dune]

The goat of noobs

[jade gust]

That sounds ahead of schedule

[granite sky]

check out the custom browser invasion servers they are rlly cool modded invasions. like elite vs elite, or spartan vs elite, on rlly nice maps

[restive yarrow]

You are not the first one to tell me this, and tbh the custom browser invasion can't even come close to the normal one

[obsidian wyvern]

look ok my last part is due to arrive by 20th 🙏

[molten pelican]

When is Rev not getting slandered tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

hopefully

[molten pelican]

Mobo right

[obsidian wyvern]

yea

[molten pelican]

It won't work

It will be broken

[obsidian wyvern]

i hope yours explodes

[restive yarrow]

What are even talking about if the teams don't start and stay the same throughout a custom game

[molten pelican]

Darn!

[granite sky]

thats strange the custom browser ones seem way beyond the standard one. like u can fly covenant spirit dropships lol. and the objectives are more unique

[molten pelican]

I accidentally joined one but it was cool lol

[jade gust]

Been a while since I played MCC Reach, I know the Sabre and Seraph are in Forge, is the Pelican and Phantom in there too or are they just props?

[restive yarrow]

Exactly, I'm looking for a normal matchmaking game of invasion, not a goofy party with 0 balance

[molten pelican]

Me too ngl so I can start building a new one as well😔

I've been putting off getting new car tires...

[restive yarrow]

I actually kinda liked the way invasion felt in ranked, my only complaint is that being only in ranked killed it completely

[viral dune]

Just props

[molten pelican]

Yeah they should have a social for it

[restive yarrow]

Well, and people glitching themselves on top of a mountain on one of the maps, I didn't like that either lol

[granite sky]

i havent seen the pelicans or phantoms being pilotable, but some do have the spirit dropship, you can fly and shoot the main gun

[jade gust]

I see

[granite sky]

actually i totally forgot i have seen the pelicans and phantoms

[viral dune]

There's a reach custom game where you can actually pilot a pelican and phantom

[granite sky]

yea ur right

[viral dune]

Someone else controls the turret

[molten pelican]

I was about to say i swear I piloted them before

[granite sky]

the server is usually called PELICANS AND PHANTOMS in all caps when i see it

[hasty bramble]

I played Halo a couple times, but only multiplayer. I'll get gamepass or buy og trilogy soon.

[viral dune]

That one

[granite sky]

idk man i think ur missing out. people underestimate the fun of cgb

[jade gust]

I recommend waiting for the MCC to go on sale (If you're on PC), then you can get the whole MCC

[restive yarrow]

When mcc goes on a steam sale it costs only 10 dollars I think

[molten pelican]

Probably will have another sale here soon

[hasty bramble]

I was about to ask about that, thanks.

[molten pelican]

Infinite campaign sometimes goes on sale, also worth the wait for a sale since you have to play through the og anyways

I forgot for how much, maybe 20-30USD

[restive yarrow]

This one I don't recommend at all btw, just get mcc, it's way better

Infinite's campaign is mid and the multiplayer is even worse

[hasty bramble]

I love my Mega Brick 343 Guilty Spark

[molten pelican]

You kinda lost your respectable opinion card a while ago bankai lol

[restive yarrow]

Nah I feel like I'm the only one with it

[molten pelican]

I've been meaning to get that, good decor

[restive yarrow]

And I'm also trying to be helpful

[molten pelican]

Red flag

I do understand your ranked invasion argument however

[jade gust]

Infinite is by no means perfect but the multiplayer is easily the best part of it. Had it been given the proper support in that first year of being out, it'd likely have been perfect

[molten pelican]

Shame it took so long, I've only recently gotten back into it, wonderful mp now

[restive yarrow]

The game was doomed the moment they decided that the slipspace engine was functional

[jade gust]

T'is sadly the nature of hiring policies that actively harm dev teams

[molten pelican]

Pressured release dates also seem to have negative effect from time to time

[jade gust]

Tell me, do you have experience working with the engine? And if so, could you tell me exactly what about the engine makes it non-functional?

[restive yarrow]

Terrible desync and stuff

[molten pelican]

You experienced it?

[restive yarrow]

You could feel how clunky the game is compared to even halo 5

I played the game lol

[hasty bramble]

I did a thing with Guity Spark

[restive yarrow]

Don't need anything else to tell how terrible the game engine is

[jade gust]

Weird, I don't find the gameplay in Infinite to feel clunky. And whether a game is clunky or not is not because of the game engine per say

[restive yarrow]

I also know that they outsourced it way too much, which caused all the spaghetti code that we have to play on rn

[molten pelican]

Ah they are moving to unreal for a reason, probably for future proofing anyways

But yeah seems very clean and crisp to me

[jade gust]

Outsourcing is pretty common, AAA games these days often have multiple companies working on them

I doubt the use of contractors and outside companies is why the engine is the way it is

[hasty bramble]

I got told 343 caused a flood with the Rings, so I recycled his shell as punishment.

[jade gust]

Also much more friendly for newer devs to the team too

[restive yarrow]

It isn't the only problem, it only became so bad in combination with the notorious terrible management at 343

[molten pelican]

The flood is an infection form that the rings are designed to eliminate, but it also eliminated all other life forms

Inside it's very large radius at least

[restive yarrow]

They knew exactly how unready their engine was and still decided to not prolong the contract with whatever studios they were outsourcing to

[hasty bramble]

I assumed it happened only within them.

[restive yarrow]

Then they tried to fix this code with their own devs, but, obviously, failed miserably

[hasty bramble]

Not sure what you meant to say here bc of the wording

seems wrong idk

[jade gust]

I can't help but feel like you have no clue how game development works. Tell me, do you actually have experience making game engines or are you making things up based off of things said by people who similarily don't have any experience too

[obsidian wyvern]

still wonder which way gravity would pull you if you went straight to the middle of the ring

[molten pelican]

I'd recommend playing the campaigns I think you would like them

[restive yarrow]

The latter, it's not that complicated anyway lol

[molten pelican]

It's very complicated

[restive yarrow]

You give the task to write some code to other people, fire them and start fixing this code yourself

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-wait-youre-serious-laugh-harder-bender-gif-9628866

[restive yarrow]

What do you think is going to happen

[hasty bramble]

Probably, but I may need to wait. My free PC pass code only worked for new members, which I'm not.

[jade gust]

I am gonna get so much milage from this gif

[molten pelican]

A classic

[meager linden]

Damn, now I want to rewatch Futurama

[hasty bramble]

I was gonna do that but Hulu subscription got cancelled

[jade gust]

Only seen the odd episode

[restive yarrow]

The ghosting is crazy lol

[jade gust]

Ghosting? Someone's ghosting here?

[restive yarrow]

You did manage to completely change the topic with that meme in the middle of an argument

[jade gust]

Topics change, they always do

[hasty bramble]

Ghosting? I ain't afraid of no ghosts

[restive yarrow]

Sounds like ghosting to me, whatever, I was getting tired of the argument anyway

[molten pelican]

But war, war never changes

[molten pelican]

Haha embed fail

[hasty bramble]

Imbed fail :[

[jade gust]

You were making claims about how game dev works that were wildly untrue, people shifting to a different topic isn't somehow me "ghosting" you. If I was ghosting you, I'd be purposely ignoring any and all messages you sent me, especially in private DMs

[hasty bramble]

Mild typo

[molten pelican]

Typing fail

[hasty bramble]

I SAW THAT EDIT LIL BRO

[meager linden]

Just learned a new word from you
I thought "ghosting" is something around to be near to "ghost"
But now, it means for me "ignoring"

[molten pelican]

It's what I do to all my contacts

[jade gust]

That's the gist of it, and it ain't fun when someone who should know better decides to ghost you over someone else being horrible to you

[hasty bramble]

What role do I need to unlock GIFs?

[obsidian wyvern]

inheritor

[calm fiber]

Inheritors are folks with veterancy, a record of good behavior, and currently active

[molten pelican]

You have to have a name that starts with s and rhymes with pork

[meager linden]

Whoa, you can also use commands

[obsidian wyvern]

you only just figured this out? lol

[meager linden]

Yes

[jade gust]

Do you still need to slay a gorgon to get Inheritor or is that no longer a requirement?

[hasty bramble]

Is it part of a level system? Probably, if not then sad :[

[obsidian wyvern]

you can just send me £30 instead

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/good-place-tgp-chidi-thats-gif-18334989

[obsidian wyvern]

debatable

[hasty bramble]

30 to unlock GIF embeds is crazy

[obsidian wyvern]

nope

[jade gust]

Rev was joking

[hasty bramble]

only EA would do that right?

[obsidian wyvern]

seen people waiting over a year for it

[jade gust]

Please do not send him actual money

[edgy osprey]

Oh

[hasty bramble]

Never thought of doing it

[edgy osprey]

Can I get my $30 back?

[obsidian wyvern]

why not

[jade gust]

Monopoly money sure, but please don't give him real money

https://tenor.com/view/eto-bleh-gif-14618428694469046242

[hasty bramble]

I don't think he gives refunds

[molten pelican]

It's hopeless

[hasty bramble]

It's Joever

[jade gust]

Nah, it's more the bit where your soul is eternally owned by him and he can do whatever he wants with it

[obsidian wyvern]

it's like a Disney+ subscription

[pulsar heron]

as iratus said after rev, inheritor is earned through good behaviour and genuine engagement with the server. you'll get it in time (:

[bronze breach]

[trim saddle]

in time they say

member of this server since october 25, 2023 and no inheritor 🤷🏻‍♂️

i must not be that active huh?

[jade gust]

Huh, that's my mum's birthday

But also a few days before stuff in my life fell apart

[molten pelican]

Adv eon lore just dropped

[molten pelican]

Been here since March of the same year oh well 🤷‍♂️

[jade gust]

Well, technically the falling apart started early in 2023 (And even that has roots in 2022) but around the 28th was when things kinda all exploded, metaphorically speaking

And that's all my lore that I will share here

[molten pelican]

Eons great schism of 2023

[molten pelican]

That's a long time for a bomb to go off

[jade gust]

Somehow messier than that

[molten pelican]

Improbable

I will have to give you the benefit of the doubt however

[tight bridge]

HALO IS GOING TO PLAY STATION

https://www.ign.com/articles/halo-finally-looks-set-to-make-the-jump-to-playstation-this-year

[steady jolt]

Nothing like that has been announced, confirmed or even hinted at

[queen acorn]

yes it has been

dont listen to this bloke

[steady jolt]

It absolutely has not been

Don't spread misinformation

[molten pelican]

How many times this week has this rumor been brought up lol

[steady jolt]

Too many

[queen acorn]

Its not just this week lmao

[hasty zinc]

show me an official announcement and I'll send you $500

[molten pelican]

Must be the wind

[queen acorn]

you 3 obviously are either paid to keep it quiet or ur just thick headed in denial.

[molten pelican]

Bold aegis lol

How many times this week have people thought you were getting paid

[steady jolt]

If you can point me to where Microsoft, Xbox or Halo Studios announced Halo was coming to Playstation, I'll happily retract my statements

[queen acorn]

IGN and multiple other trustyworthy posters have been watching microsoft and 343 quite thoroughly. on their job lists it lists personell that would need knowledge of sony systems

[queen acorn]

we never said it was an announcement.

[hasty zinc]

it's all speculation/rumors

nothing official in any capacity

[queen acorn]

Its rumors, hints, and paying attention to detail that tells some of us there some possibly exciting things happening

[steady jolt]

So again, nothing has been confirmed or announced

[queen acorn]

we never said it was lmao xD quit pushing that narrative

[molten pelican]

We are not saying it won't ever happen but literally nothing has been actually confirmed

[steady jolt]

We can move on now

[queen acorn]

we never said it was confirmed. no need to move on. its a peaceful topic

nothing about it is politcal, religious, or disrespectful in any capacity. its exciting

[steady jolt]

It's time for a new topic

[hasty zinc]

favorite cheese

[molten pelican]

Favorite color of bee

[jade gust]

Chilli cheddar

[molten pelican]

Colby Jack/provolone

[fickle drift]

https://tenor.com/view/not-even-wensleydale-wallace-and-gromit-cheese-gif-24623595

[queen acorn]

For sure would bring alot of traffic daily. would be cool to teach players who have never even seen a halo game before.

[jade gust]

I think there's one that's orange somewhere down south here in the UK

[molten pelican]

I think you're mental

[jade gust]

Fun fact! I was born in the same city as the guy who created Wallace and Gromit

[steady jolt]

Ooh, tough one. I love Camembert, Emmental and mature cheddar

[queen acorn]

Expecially campaign guider n such it would give some of the oldest speed runners or LASO guiders a chance to step back into something they really enjoy for a bit

[jade gust]

My old uni had a display talking about him

[hasty zinc]

My favorite cheese is Muenster

[steady jolt]

Some of the flavored blocks are nice too - like chilli, black pepper, mango

[queen acorn]

Respect the love for it brother. 😄

[molten pelican]

You seem like a Muenster kinda guy Aegis

[hasty zinc]

oh thanks

[molten pelican]

Yeah you're welcome

[queen acorn]

imagine being in the official; halo discord but dont want to talk about halos future LMAO yall are clowns XD
for sure paid to keep it quiet, or you are in denial that it would go to PSN because ur xbox obsessed lol. no one would be this determined to change the topic.

[pliant hatch]

ironic

[molten pelican]

Imagine not wanting to talk about cheese

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/bT8oa.gif

Ah you can hear the image

[meager linden]

That gif with palpatine

[obsidian wyvern]

ngl I saw this person's profile yesterday and could instantly tell they'd be a problem

[jade gust]

Cheese is fantastic

[queen acorn]

i would but not in the halo discord

where chats are typically about the franchise. even says it in the chat description ^

[molten pelican]

The Cheese Franchise

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/crowpunk-cheese-challenge-repost-to-cheese-cat-cheese-cat-gif-4123783956472567463

more interested in halo but to each their opwn mate

[molten pelican]

This isn't a halo discord server this is a cheese discord server?

[dry lintel]

Same!

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/bKm49.gif

[molten pelican]

That's what I felt with you and I was kinda right I guess

[meager linden]

I don't like cheese

[hasty zinc]

get out

[queen acorn]

how is wanting to talk about halo a problem LMAO

yall are WILD actually. thats the dumbest thing ive heard all day and i have a 11 year old son

he says some dumb crud

[dry lintel]

I’ve recently taken a liking to Gruyère

got a nice nutty taste

[meager linden]

No

[queen acorn]

thats controversial.

[jade gust]

Insulting your kid's intelligence isn't gonna make him like you. Have you considered actually being supportive of him?

[queen acorn]

hahaha xD i am

[molten pelican]

Okay tbf man I would be excited about it if anything official came out about it I'm not knocking you for that, but the rumor stuff gets old

[queen acorn]

but being a parent for 11 years, you also know when they say something stupid

[trim saddle]

rumor mill never stops and the noise is annoying, so we tend to drown it out with cheese

[queen acorn]

i was that young, i said stupid crud. like. "what about a turd rolling down the roof into the gutter dad."

that is an actual comment from his mouth

[dry lintel]

I used to go by Cheezer for the better part of my Xbox career

[trim saddle]

like muenster, gouda, swiss, provolone..

[molten pelican]

I think we should stay away from peoples parenting lives

[queen acorn]

cant be excited for a rumor?

[trim saddle]

not in here

[molten pelican]

Illegal

[jade gust]

Rumours aren't exactly great things to base excitement around

[queen acorn]

so what. theres thousands of people in the world, new people are gonna talk about it everyday. if its old dont be in the halo discord lmao. make a friends discird group

[dry lintel]

Do you think the Gutas like Gouda cheese

[queen acorn]

yes they are. i can be excited about the possibility of new technology. or the possibility of a new bike in my garage.

[jade gust]

I could start a rumour about Halo crossing over with Doctor Who, would you be excited over that?

[queen acorn]

just because its not a fact right now, doesnt mean i cant be excited.

[jade gust]

Is the new bike in the room with us right now?

[queen acorn]

i can, and will be excited about the simple PROPOSITION of halo going to PSN. and why wouldnt i be? its been 20 years of xbox and pc alone.

[molten pelican]

Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with you, just don't overhype yourself

[trim saddle]

Provolone on a spicy chicken sandwich with pickles is one heck of a sandwich IMO

[queen acorn]

its time for our other console bros to join us

[viral dune]

Actually it's time for everyone here to drink hot oj

[queen acorn]

whether its true RIGHT NOW or not. its exciting to think about

[viral dune]

8 gallons, 5 minutes

[meager linden]

No

[queen acorn]

that saounds disgusting

like. slimey gross

[molten pelican]

Ah I guess that's fair

[viral dune]

No thank you it's actually tasty

[molten pelican]

Incredible

[queen acorn]

NO NOOO! The warm pulp sliding. VOMIT

[molten pelican]

Only?

[queen acorn]

just thinking about it

[molten pelican]

For someone who likes hot OJ so much that's pathetic icky

[queen acorn]

i imagine something like an egg yolk but orange flavored.

[viral dune]

If you're not dead by the time you finish the 8 gallons you can drink 16 more

[dry lintel]

God I love provolone

[molten pelican]

Think of orange juice, but hotter

[viral dune]

Yeah, no egg yolks

[queen acorn]

NO. heretics. burn it. burn they who drink it. call the emperor

[meager linden]

Apple juice are better than OJ

[dry lintel]

Provolone wolf (gotta keep it halo related or something)

[queen acorn]

not even a debate thats just FACT

[hallow oyster]

Indeed

[queen acorn]

little cinnamon and heat it up? boom apple cider.

[viral dune]

Did you know that the emperor of mankind actually likes hot oj I met him once

[meager linden]

Better to do it directly from apple's, not even from juice

[queen acorn]

no because you arent IGN or someone important. they take time to look into these thiings. ur jsut some random dude on discord. lol

[queen acorn]

LIES! slander! You met the emperor you say? HAND ME THAT OJ

[queen acorn]

ARG ARG ARG im lazy. im too old for all that

they do have ins that you would never have.
unfortunately i do live out by microsoft and seattle so i am around those types of folks quite often, they do get to walk into places and ask questions with ansers that you and i would never get

[fickle drift]

IGN has never reported on false information before you are correct.

This is where I add the ‘lmao’

[queen acorn]

i never said that at all, so dont be twisting it taht way. thanks mate. I did say they are more trustworthy than some bro on cod or halo. which is true

[dry lintel]

fair warning, you’ll get muted for 24 hours if you use profanity 3 times, learned that the hard way lmao

[queen acorn]

i really could care less lmao

[molten pelican]

I think we're probably being too harsh on this ngl

[queen acorn]

i dont live on discord so if i got muted id just go to phasmo for a day or so and be chillin

[queen acorn]

i literally just said its exciting.

i never said it was 100% i nefver said IGN is the god of info for games and know everything and dont lie.

i simplyt stated, itd be cool for people like me ( who guide LASO and speed runs) to have a whole new console set of players come in to help and play with again.

[molten pelican]

Alright, I'd not risk getting anymore bitter over it and move on

[steady jolt]

We're still talking about this?

[queen acorn]

we are talking

not arguing thats the difference

🙂

[dry lintel]

the not arguing argument

[fickle drift]

Aye it’s fine to get yourself hyped on baseless info and rumors, for my part I’ve seen people get upset and hostile after said things don’t come to fruition plenty of times though.

That’s what’d prefer to avoid.

[queen acorn]

two people not agreeing on somethign can be a conversation. everyone is so prickly now a days.

[steady jolt]

The point is that a discussion is still going on something I already asked to move on from

So let's do that

[queen acorn]

and thats fine for you, but new people are going to hear about those rumors every day. and ur gonn ahear about it. so get over it

its not like the OP of this discussion new anything b4 today, he was excited.

[hasty zinc]

we should get over this whole topic like stckr has asked multiple times

[queen acorn]

the topic isnt naturally aggressive or bad

[molten pelican]

Cheese conversation was way too short in my professional opinion

[granite sky]

i hope they somehow add the falcon before next game. idk if it will happen

[molten pelican]

Wolves don't risk the mute mate just let it go

[dry lintel]

Absolutely obliterated a bowl of four cheese mashed potatoes for lunch

[hasty zinc]

welp

[molten pelican]

We tried

[fickle drift]

I still wish we had gotten it in Campaign, would’ve been really fun to use there.

[molten pelican]

That's new one lol

[faint mantle]

No it ain't

[dry lintel]

Those “halo funny dialogue” videos are so nostalgic

[molten pelican]

Go away Merty

[obsidian wyvern]

actually one of my favourite ones was in infinite

[dry lintel]

Yeah they really stepped it up with infinite, the marines are great as well

[molten pelican]

I love those IWHBYD video showcases lol

[meager linden]

I like dialogues more from grunt moles

[viral dune]

Mules

[meager linden]

Whatever they called

[molten pelican]

Blindly follow icky

[dry lintel]

Love how the mules are just tired of everyone’s crap.

[jade gust]

Well they are carrying everyone's gear, I don't blame 'em for being mad

[viral dune]

Mules

Thankfully you can put them out of their misery

[trim saddle]

I think im gonna hit up a noodle bar around me for dinner

[normal owl]

Lol too right

[normal owl]

Niiiiice that sounds good

[bold sail]

I still get bad memories of getting wasted by AI Allies because I gave them the heavy weapon. Least with precision weapons they're useful.

[jade gust]

Well, I just had a game end with the second to last player splattering me when my shields were low and I was trying to find cover while the Banished were shooting me, and the person who splattered me decided to just sit there and let themself get killed

Like, I had everything planned out too... I was gonna use my Ravager to clear out the point and then grab the sniper so I could prep for the final capture point

[trim saddle]

I had a game where a guy ran 2 of us over with a mongoose, and then drove off the cliff and ended the game.

[meager linden]

Typical teammates

[trim saddle]

i was surprised they actually got splatters with it

[meager linden]

I thought I have those types of teammates

[jade gust]

Like, in general, I've had bad teammates today, but this one with the Mongoose... I really wish they had learnt not to drive it right towards someone with low shields then stop in the middle of the enemy

[fickle drift]

That's odd, Rev hasn't been playing today.

[jade gust]

Yeah, I was surprised too

Maybe the spirit of Rev possessed the one who ran me over?

[forest lagoon]

[jade gust]

Anyway, shout out to the Metroid speedrun at GDQ last week, I love that it's a vs speedrun

[obsidian wyvern]

iswtg

[jade gust]

Oh hi Rev

[obsidian wyvern]

I will run everyone over

nothing new but still

[trim saddle]

everyone enjoys a bumper hug right?

[jade gust]

Having gotten basically one years ago. No not really

[trim saddle]

well clearly not IRL but

[halcyon mica]

RIP David Lynch

[obsidian wyvern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX9Vran2Ysk what about a banshee one

[jade gust]

So what you're saying is we should take away your pilot's licence

[meager linden]

Driver license too

[jade gust]

Maybe check Rev's not forklift certified too

[obsidian wyvern]

not yet

I actually have the option to at work lol

[fickle drift]

[forest lagoon]

I have absolutely no reason to be but I still think it would be cool to do

[obsidian wyvern]

they're actually so fast

[jade gust]

Note to self, avoid Rev if he is on a forklift

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't realise the speed they could hit in the warehouse

[sturdy mauve]

i forgor I wasn't on r/halo D:

[obsidian wyvern]

you're in a better place

[meager linden]

Reddit still alive?

[fickle drift]

🤯

[dry lintel]

from reddit to discord. Like switching substances

[forest lagoon]

well there is an r/halo discord so I guess there is the morph point lol

[molten pelican]

I think im going to go for it sometime over this spring/summer

also for no reason, and yet all of the reason

[faint mantle]

[molten pelican]

it seemed like it took you a while to look for that lol

[normal owl]

This NFL playoff weekend is going to be insannnnnnne

[forest lagoon]

We could say we can do something the Chief cant, therefore making us superior

[molten pelican]

Being a packers fan is tough

[normal owl]

[molten pelican]

consistently promising, consistently letting me down when it matters most

[fossil skiff]

Sounds like my brain

[normal owl]

I won't feel at ease until the very end of the Lions game. Then I'll be able to fully enjoy spectating the Ravens-Bills shootout.

[molten pelican]

except not promising really, honestly just expected

If you are a KC fan I hope you never get to drive a forklift in your life or have the luxury of eating colby jack cheese

[fossil skiff]

I don’t watch football much anymore, was a bengals fan though

[normal owl]

KC winning would be so boring though. Had enough of that storyline

[molten pelican]

I honestly dont really as well, Im a packers fan because my dad is a big fan, I usually tune into the playoffs (and get sad)

[molten pelican]

real

[fossil skiff]

I might get back into it just to troll a friend who streams

[molten pelican]

Its fun to give pops a hard time about it

he always optimistic about their chances

[normal owl]

your neighboring Vikes are feeling very sad. Sam Darn-it really imploded.

hopes were high going in 2 games ago

[molten pelican]

good.

I actually like playing them, usually a close game

[molten pelican]

you a vikes fan?

[normal owl]

Not at all: Lions

last northmen standing

[molten pelican]

they've been very good. commanders are punching above their weight though

[normal owl]

100%. that's why I'm uneasy until the very end of their game.

[faint mantle]

I actually wanted to write something more elaborate, but decided that a picture is worth a thousand words

[molten pelican]

we have a lot of red skins fans in this part of VA, il have to give some people a hard time if they lose

[molten pelican]

🐌

I like that one

[faint mantle]

I'll do you one better

[molten pelican]

You have good taste Merty

[hasty zinc]

5 minutes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nM3vGdanpw

[trim saddle]

It's insane what spaceX does with rockets and how reusable and cheaper they do it.

[fossil skiff]

I tuned in at like T+12 minutes what happened to the second stage?

[neat steppe]

What y'all think about unreal tournament?

[dry lintel]

it’s unreal

[neat steppe]

It's kinda unreal that they made a tournament after it
Like they want to add some kill zones or something
Maybe they are geared for war

[fickle drift]

I miss it

[obsidian wyvern]

better than haze

[dry lintel]

halo

[neat steppe]

I agree and disagree with you
Unreal is a cool game but don't underestimate the halo killer

(I love the hell out of UT2K4

[obsidian wyvern]

xans design in the secret level episodes is so much better than the game ones I've seen

[neat steppe]

Anyway uhh
What y'all think about halo?

[fossil skiff]

worst game ever, I can’t wait to play it again tomorrow

[obsidian wyvern]

got confused by who you were for a sec

[dry lintel]

I like the evolving combat

Mfs have “combat evolved” in the first games title and people got mad when the combat, indeed, evolved

[neat steppe]

They evolve the combat before modern warfare exists

[dry lintel]

That’s “Unidentified Spartan-IV”

[neat steppe]

I freaking hate this game

I can't wait to spend 2 more hours on it

Anyway how much aura does chief has?

didn't the rocket blow apart?

[hasty zinc]

starship was lost yes

but the booster was caught successfully

[fossil skiff]

Space shuttle reentry be like

(The thing was literally skydiving before landing)

[covert dove]

[signal wedge]

I hope they introduce new UNSC guns next game

[molten pelican]

I totally wrecked that spaceship earlier with my invisible plane

[obsidian wyvern]

lowkey one of the coolest scenes

idk what it is with me and like an army of the same thing coming together but theyre usually my favourite moments

[signal wedge]

Helldivers

[obsidian wyvern]

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

this alone is why no one can tell me iron man 3 is bad

[molten pelican]

Not as bad as iron man 2

I mean it's alright. That was a neat scene

[fickle drift]

I don’t want to remember that movie

[molten pelican]

Never saw the villain twist coming

[cedar turret]

Tony has a pretty good arc in that one. It's well defined and makes sense. The issue is they just throw it away for age of ultron

[granite sky]

Sabre, elephant, Scarab, hornet, falcon, Gauss, pelican, Longsword, sparrowhawk, mantis, cyclops, spectre, prowler, vulture, shadow, spirit, phantom, seraph, lich

[molten pelican]

I used to dislike age of ultron, but honestly from what they've been releasing the past few years my standards for good have dropped considerably

All fell apart after endgame and you can't convince me otherwise, there ain't no more buildup

Maybe a couple decent stand alone films

[obsidian wyvern]

its funny that i enjoyed iron man 3 and age of ultron more than most marvel movies

[molten pelican]

Pre endgame the only marvel movies I really didn't "like" was like the second Thor lol

[obsidian wyvern]

winter soldier probably takes first place though

[molten pelican]

Best fight scenes, and grounded

[obsidian wyvern]

ive fallen asleep during the thor movies so many times. then ragnarok was good.. then love and thunder was garbage

[molten pelican]

Guardians of the galaxy is up there

[fossil skiff]

Loved winter soldier

[signal wedge]

The mandarin is an actor and a lava guy

[molten pelican]

Yeah what the hell was love and thunder lol
