[obsidian wyvern]

not sure but if you happen to be going for the master chief saga playlist achievement, it breaks in coop unless you do some levels solo

[fickle drift]

This is what it should be called

[fickle drift]

Hot oj 🗣️

[shrewd stream]

Is that a challenge. . .?

https://tenor.com/view/halo-halo5-spartan-game-gif-16156960

Wow.

Now I have to endure the unspeakable shame.

[frosty siren]

Close the game completely and try again... my dose that when I just turn off my console instead of quiting the game.

[sonic sedge]

@chat who do yall think the best player in the world is?

[shrewd stream]

Master chief

[floral pollen]

It should come back around this Pride Month, since they seem to be using lady years stuff
So yea it's a bit of a wait, buy that's prolly the easiest way

[fickle drift]

does reporting a player in infinite do anything

some dude said half a dozen slurs in like, 30 seconds.

on the mic

[zinc carbon]

If that's the case when where's Titan fall or another Crysis game

[viral dune]

@viral dune

[dry lintel]

It’s called Apex Legends

[viral dune]

Apex legends more like raid on apex 7

[zinc carbon]

Don't think Titan fall fans are happy

[dry lintel]

They aren’t lol, apex lives rent free in their heads and they seethe because of it. The titanfall subreddit is always throwing a tantrum over apex

[lunar night]

I have a question when will be halo 7 will be out if they are making one

[floral pollen]

No idea.
Prolly 1-2 years for an announcement even

[lunar night]

What is @pale rune typing

[pale rune]

There's bound to be another halo game. But I agree titanfall 2 needed a sequel (so good) rip 🙏

[dry lintel]

lemme ask real quick

they said it needs a couple more weeks sit tight

[lunar night]

Proof?

[dry lintel]

I can never tell a lie

[pale rune]

"Were it so easy"

[zinc carbon]

I'm just worried if this franchise dies. I know everything has an end but not too soon

[pale rune]

Even if the devs let us down(and hopefully they dont) you can always count on the community always making new content.

[idle scaffold]

Damn! That’s a bit crap but ah well I’ll wait it out! Thank you any way 🙂

[lunar night]

@rocky oasis are you guys making halo 7 soon? it a question

[solemn trail]

Hello!

New to this server, but not new to Halo or Discord.

I'm hoping to find people interested in playing as a team on Ranked Arena.

Currently, my CSR is Silver II (395/400). I've made it into Silver III a few times, but just temporarily.

[floral pollen]

Don't ping the employees.
They can't say anyway

[lunar night]

Okay sorry

[lunar night]

will this work ?#1039633978841374720

[solemn trail]

Probably. Need to dig around abit

[lunar night]

#halo-the-series-chat *

[floral pollen]

I might be down depending when ur on
I haven't played Ranked in a while, and I'm not super competitive, but if you just wanna vibe or whatever I might be able to (I was P2/3)

Also #lfg-competitive is the best place to ask otherwise

[solemn trail]

I'm usually on in the evenings for an hour or two. Maybe longer depending on the day. I generally prefer 4v4, probably because I grew up playing Halo 2 and Halo 3, so I'm used to maps of that size. I get wrecked on 12v12, and 8v8 is noticeably harder for me.

I'm not trying to be the best there ever was, just play with a group that takes communication and teamwork a little more seriously. Halo for me was fun because my friends and I used to play together; and that's what I'm looking for.

I only recently started playing again, and am surprised how much of the muscle memory is still there.

Ninja edit: Evenings according to US time (CST).

[floral pollen]

I'm usually on afternoons EST (12-6 PM) so I may not be able to unfortunately
I 100% get the 4v4 thing though lol, even though I mainly play Firefight now, I also have never liked 8v8 or 12v12

I was pretty good with comms and teamwork and stuff though back when I did play Ranked a lot

Later this year there's a few weeks I should be able to play later, but 12-6/7 is kinda what I'm stuck with rn due to parents

[solemn trail]

That time can work for me. I work remotely and set my own hours. If there's a meeting/call scheduled, I will have to focus on that; otherwise, I'm left to my own devices. And as a morning person, I've usually completed my work by the early afternoon, anyways.

Should we try to find one or two more to join us?

Btw, "Queens of USBs" is a stellar epithet. Not sure if badUSB or goodUSB...?

[floral pollen]

I don't mind either way tbh
I don't wanna sound like I'm tryina flex, but I can carry pretty hard in low/mid Gold, which is prolly where it'd average lobbies with us lol

[floral pollen]

I can plug in USB-As (the big ones) first try every time lol

[solemn trail]

I regularly get killing streaks and double/triple kills in Silver II. I think the reason I'm not getting to higher tiers is due to lack of communication, not individual skill.

[floral pollen]

Fair, I get that tbh
I'm also down to run 1v1s or anything too if you just wanna skill test or whatever

[solemn trail]

You know, the creator of USB-A said that he shouldn't have designed it that way. They were trying to cut costs and he regrets it now

[floral pollen]

Interesting

Also if you wanna move to DMs or anything so we don't clog up General we can lol

[meager linden]

Good morning

[meager linden]

Meanwhile that one Old spice ad where the brain goes off from his head

[visual meadow]

Hey, lore question: is there a difference between the covenant separatists and the swords of sanghelios? Was the latter formed after the war?

[devout fossil]

.

[crisp tundra]

are MCC servers down?

[jade gust]

#lore-and-universe is a better place to ask that but the basic way of explaining it is that the Covenant Separatists is the group of covies who were forced to fight against Truth and the Brutes due to the Great Schism in Halo 2. In the aftermath, the Elites of the Covenant Separatists formed various different factions, such as the Swords of Sanghelios and Jul's Covenant or went on to become mercenaries, whether that be small mercenary bands or joining larger groups like the Banished

[visual meadow]

Hero, thanks for clearing that up

[jade gust]

To be clear, there's more to it than that, as not all Elites allied with Arbiter necessarily approve of him being an ally of humanity but work with him as they see him as their best hopes to protect their people within the post war era. Same is true for factions opposed to Arbiter and the UNSC, like the Keepers of the One Freedom, who are a Brute led faction following the old Covenant religious beliefs but welcomes humans into their ranks more openly than other factions

To be clear, they need the proper cloaking equipment in order to hide from their enemies.

[hallow oyster]

[hallow oyster]

doing great

[trim saddle]

Id say I see what you did there, but the camo makes that difficult.

[undone stone]

I would agree, but it's a little hard to see from your point of view.

[trim saddle]

If i wait long enough, im sure ill see what going on.

[jade gust]

Good thing the Elites invented active camo

[trim saddle]

humans reverse engineer stuff often weeeee

[trim saddle]

will sprint and zoom be disabled for the classic SnD feel?

[candid tusk]

Now why would they disable sprint and zoom for Call of Duty's Search and Destroy?

[dry lintel]

Then give us cod maps

[obsidian wyvern]

bo6 snd was so bad

the map size was tiny

[dry lintel]

That one apartment map was terrible

[candid tusk]

My favorite map for SnD is Bloc, by far.

The pool really sweetened the whole thing up.

[wheat ridge]

the desync 💀

[meager linden]

That reminds me CS:GO 1.6 map

[obsidian wyvern]

because it is from csgo

well maybe a cs from before that idk

[dry lintel]

just cs

dust 2 is older than me, wild

[wheat ridge]

the dust maps never really changed

[calm zephyr]

Hi chat what we talking bout

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[scenic wave]

hi

has halo MCC Halo CE been fixed over the years or has it still got issues? thinking of replaying Halo CE in either og or Anniv graphics

[pliant hatch]

most of the issues left are what the die hard ce players want fixed, but it's had numerous things fixed throughout the years.

[trim saddle]

Its how you throw sentences together and the extra punctuation is offputting. A simple sentence or 2 would of worked perfectly.

[glad aspen]

Blue Team armors that are coming the next week
image from steam

Kelly is the free armor of the operation

[worldly bridge]

Good boy

[dapper tinsel]

My bad, I’m used to typing like this

[dry lintel]

they look fantastic, not the biggest fan of that argus but i'll take it

[glad aspen]

that's just her original infinite design
but yeah i get your idea

but honestly im kinda a fan of that helmet

[trim saddle]

Are we getting a nornfang style sniper as a new weapon like how they did the fuel rod? 🤔

[wintry jetty]

Literally just joined the server to say my thanks to 343I for finally adding the eaglestrike event stuff to the exchange shop, as I’ve been waiting since the release of the exchange shop for this stuff to come back. I know it’s really random but I was gonna uninstall if it wasn’t in the next operation, so thank you

Oh okay my bad twin 💔

[glad aspen]

oh no i wasn't talking to you

[wintry jetty]

Oh, okay my bad again twin 💔

[glad aspen]

its good to know some people are getting the armor they want 👍

[wintry jetty]

DUDEEEE, back in season 2 I had just gotten back into the game and it was the last day of the last week for the event, I was so devastated. I really am happy to get back into this game

I miss season 2, it’s so nostalgic

[glad aspen]

I don't
a season of 10 months never again

[floral pollen]

Kinda surprised Kelly is grey and not white tbh

[dry lintel]

I know, I heavily prefer the halo 5 version

[glad aspen]

these armors are like a mix of both gen 2 and gen 3 armors

[trim saddle]

those armors look 🔥

[wintry jetty]

I enjoyed the long season, it let me make more memories with my friends, and it was at the peak of its playerbase, just about everyone i knew was playing halo and it was a ton of fun

[glad aspen]

chief and kelly are using their gen 2 armors
linda and fred are a mix of both gen 2 and gen 3

[floral pollen]

I just got the credits for the super bundle today lol

[wintry jetty]

It was around Covid as well, so it just made it so much better

[molten pelican]

Not bad not bad

[dry lintel]

I hope we get a cursed oathsworn bulldog skin

[wintry jetty]

OOOOHHH WAIT

is it gonna be kits? Or like actual armor

[glad aspen]

actual armor for the mk7

[wintry jetty]

I’m lowkey gonna be kinda mad if it’s kits again, I hate those

[wintry jetty]

[dry lintel]

ah yes, the charrot

[wintry jetty]

I’m definitely buying Master Chief, I’ve been wanting his armor in halo infinite, it’s my favorite look

[glad aspen]

and with that armor
this is the first game where we can use every armor of master chief

that looks identical to their original design of course

[jade gust]

I think it's the blue her armour was in Halo 5

[dry lintel]

still need macworld chief

[glad aspen]

true

[jade gust]

Operation Orion when so we can get that

Though which core should the armour be on?

[glad aspen]

a new armor core
just because it could be funny

[wintry jetty]

Is there a channel where I can show off my armor? I’m really proud of them

[dry lintel]

mirage maybe? idk lol.

[glad aspen]

i think there's a forum in #1076327824924872755 where you can post your spartans

[dry lintel]

#1164394180676681798

[wintry jetty]

I, I already posted it in show and tell 😢

[meager linden]

So others will be bundles?

[glad aspen]

yes

[meager linden]

[glad aspen]

so prepare your wallet for a very expensive bundle

[molten pelican]

I wonder if Ubisoft just doesn't realize their servers are down sometimes lol

[glad aspen]

they are too busy doing NFTs of rayman

[molten pelican]

I used to be easy on having to use Ubisoft connect but man does it get irritating as hell

[jade gust]

I try to forget they're pushing those

[meager linden]

It's just that this Friday is my payday, so I've got my wallet more than ready(to be empty again lmao)

[molten pelican]

Let's go back to rayman on Wii

[wintry jetty]

Wait would my username be considered “unusually lengthy”? I don’t wanna have to change it

Okay, yeah it is, someone already changed it 😭

Nevermind, sorry for asking so many questionsss

[normal owl]

I know right! I used to really enjoy allocating my points towards fun stuff in upcoming games. My personal theory is they're letting it languish as they focus on rewarding U+ subs.

[dry lintel]

if I had a dollar every time I was prompted to login to ubisoft connect despite marking "save info" I would be a millionaire

[dry lintel]

you just reminded me that I probably have like a thousand of those coins collecting dust lol

[normal owl]

less than that: they began setting 2-yr rolling expirations on those (I think it's 2 yrs from earning)

[dry lintel]

noooo but how will I redeem all those R6 Siege cosplay guides I was saving up for

(yes those exist)

[normal owl]

I would use those for Assassin's Creed and Far Cry resources and gear: every little bit to boost my starting experience.

[dry lintel]

I just used mine for boosters in siege

[molten pelican]

It's really a horrible system

[dry lintel]

still better than origin

[molten pelican]

Oh yeah lol

Ea is annoying too ngl

[meager linden]

Just started my own Halo Infinite challenge: using only needler

[fickle drift]

With Bandana?

[dry lintel]

I fear the day steam starts sucking as a launcher

[molten pelican]

Can't I just launch a game from steam and steam alone

[meager linden]

Needler is OP weapon

[meager linden]

Ofc

[fickle drift]

Pinpoint needler would eradicate

[molten pelican]

It's been good for a really long time now, don't know what they would change to ruin it

[dry lintel]

gabe newell is getting old man

[normal owl]

While we 100% appreciate any support for equality and inclusion, in order to maintain a space free of animosity, we ask everyone to refrain from flaming and to include positively rather than attack negatively. Thanks for understanding! @fickle drift

[forest fulcrum]

And also
Needler only is a good challenge to test your patience

Because off shields
Brutes have shields, elites and jackals

And the hardest part it's to down elite shield

[lapis ivy]

Idk how much Microsoft money I've got to purchase a pass from the ops

How did the secret service catch the counterfeiters?

Their lair smelled like a mint

[lapis ivy]

I mean when I use Xbox gift cards for games add ons and etc

That joke was brand new and in mint condition

[high spire]

Is it me or they should've bring back the mcfarlane halo figures but at a cheaper price

[steady marlin]

Idk what destiny is about but I might get it

[night crystal]

Its fun and cool.

[lunar night]

Can I promotion my friend gamer discord server?

Okay thanks you

[hasty geyser]

it’s a trash game

[steady jolt]

Had a lot of fun in D1, but didn't have as much time to play D2.
Story was cool, but never really got to experience the raids. Was always too under leveled to play with my group, eventually dropped it.

[knotty atlas]

No way it takes 4 mins to find a ranked game

Smh

[lapis ivy]

Yay I only have for one op

So I'll get it

[molten hare]

Will the new operation have a new game mode?

there’s no real difficulty in d2

How long did it take

Did you go insane at any point?

[gloomy notch]

We all have

[gloomy notch]

[real urchin]

Yeah when it took me 3 and a half hours to beat the final mission

Overall took me probably about 15 hours across all missions

[scenic wave]

Thank you

Idk which graphics to choose on halo ce, they both look great

[floral pollen]

I never played D1, but I did start D2 a while ago and am having decent fun with it
It was a good break from Halo for me tbh

[waxen rose]

You have so much patience

[high spire]

Strange. No replies

[hasty geyser]

Actual gaming achievement (unlike d2 players who think beating a grandmaster is an achievement) nice job.

I’d try LASO if i could keep my HUD tbh

[real urchin]

Thanks man, I've beat the games normally multiple times. Beating them on LASO out of normal order, trying to go from what I hear is the easiest to hardest, I've done H3, H3 ODST, now I've done H4. Starting on reach this Friday after work, then gonna do 1 and finally the final boss, 2.

[stark oyster]

4 fiberglass or 3 gundpowder

[hasty geyser]

how about reach

[real urchin]

I'm starting on reach Friday? I said that in the message lol

[hasty geyser]

Oh sorry i didn’t see that mb

[real urchin]

Lol np

[normal flint]

As my first message on this server, I'd like to announce that my favorite armor is the Mark V.

[sage geyser]

This is aces

Mine would be Mark 7

[normal flint]

Mark 7 is tight

[pale rune]

How was it?

[near tree]

Don't knights have to have a certain amount of damage dealt before you can assassinate? Or is that just h5?

[real urchin]

Not in my experience, I haven't played 5 in a very long time so I can't speak for that game but when it actually worked I could easily one hit melee every variant of the knight in H4

[near tree]

Huh

It'd be funny if one of the skulls was melee attacks have a 20 percent chance of doing nothing lol
But not gonna pretend 4 was bug free

[real urchin]

It would be hilarious because I gotta be 100p, I don't know what the skulls are. I just pick the Playlist and roll with it.

I don't remember the skulls off the top of my head

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah you can back smack knights at any hp

the strat for halo 4 laso is to get them stuck in a grenade throwing animation so that you can do that

[pale rune]

Yeah halo 5s gameplay I'd say actually improves on the promethians because the knights have weak spots they also don't spawn as often and there weapons aren't copy paste of existing weapons anymore.

[tough iron]

I don’t even play destiny but why gatekeep

[sage geyser]

Do you guys forge?

[signal wedge]

forgeing my sword

[tough iron]

I do, but I haven't had time. And I do it in mcc

[sage geyser]

I was wondering if there would be a way to make that stealthy “clearing house” level from call of duty. Like a no sprint. Check your shots. Stacking up in doors kinda thing.

Could be cool! Like an ODST level

Some players could go up the fire escape and link with the team coming up from the bottom floor. It would be pretty controlled

[tough iron]

I'm trying to make a battlefield vietnam in reach forge, lol

[sage geyser]

Sounds like fun

[tough iron]

but I have not been able to due to academic/time issues

[sage geyser]

Reach was top tier for sure

[tough iron]

yes

[hybrid perch]

why would someone preinstall tony hawk 128 days before it releases

[sage geyser]

I mostly play coop stuff. Firefights and community mission. No one really revives. But I make 2 of my Spartans medics and 1 ODST medic 😋👍❤️ I’m very admired by ppl when I rev them in those hard levels

[sage geyser]

What?? Wow. Sounds like waste of GB

[hybrid perch]

nvm it is a fake install

it's just 10mb. not sure why that is even listd

[scenic wave]

yeah i do xD

[scenic wave]

i just drank it without sugar not knowing and my insides are killing me

[oak ibex]

And?

[ivory spade]

being palatable without sugar is the true test of a good tea

[fickle drift]

Hol up… Dr. Halsey is in the Halo discord, chat?

[jade gust]

It's not actually Doctor Halsey, this is someone pretending to be her

[trim saddle]

Good Morning Spartans! (time zone dependent of course)

[normal owl]

Good morning. Very sore from my amazing ab workout last night: coughs were so strong they woke me up throughout the night.

[idle plume]

An imposter. So fake that he uses the shows Halsey instead

If you gonna role play at least pick the correct one

[dim geode]

Good morning Halo Nation, how we feeling?

[normal flint]

I've read the flood and first strike, and now Im reading ghosts of onyx. I have silent storm, and oblivion. Any other books I should get? I'm really into them.

so far, first strike is my fav. I love how it explained things

The flood also expands on the events of alpha halo way more than expected.

[jade gust]

Cole Protocol and Envoy because Grey Team is in both of them

[fickle drift]

Silver timeline doesn’t even deserve to be its own timeline. I remember the moment that girl mentioned a “space monster” it be the flood. Not to mention the flood look weird.

[jade gust]

Calling the Flood a "space monster" isn't exactly an issue. If I came face to face with a parasitic life form while I was in space, I'd be calling it a monster too. But I also think if you're picking something as specific as someone calling a thing they do not know a "space monster" to be upset about from the show, you're kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel to find things to complain about

[twin flare]

I really liked New Blood but I’m such an ODST simp so I’m prolly bias

[fickle drift]

I never said calling it a space monster was an issue. I just said the moment they said that I knew the whole plot of the 2nd season, and absolutely nothing came to me as a surprise. The flood design is absolutely nothing like the original. That’s what I don’t like.

[fickle drift]

Halo 3 Rat supremacy

[rare cedar]

There’s only one right answer

[fickle drift]

Those legs look like they could support the weight of 10,000 planets

[rare cedar]

What on Forerunner’s green Halo is that thing

[hasty zinc]

it's the halo reach squirrel

[fickle drift]

On top of what Aegis said, it is the progenitor of God, the Halo 3 Rat

[rare cedar]

How do you downgrade a rat

That means H3 is peak Halo

[trim saddle]

thats not my favorite dance

[hasty geyser]

I’m gonna try and beat every halo campaign on legendary deathless

ofc not full runs but individual levels

[fickle drift]

Good luck

[meager linden]

Good luck on Halo 2

[hasty geyser]

I know halo 2 is gonna be torture lmao

[molten pelican]

The squirrel from trench's favorite halo game

[hasty geyser]

I actually enjoy doing it normally but deathless is gonna be one of the hardest things in gaming ever esp regret

regret is insane, probably the hardest level in halo

[obsidian wyvern]

gravemind is harder

[hasty geyser]

really? i found regret to be harder in my first play through

[sage token]

Sigh... I need other opinions here. Do yall think the people at Halo Studios just hate their fans? The reason I'm asking is because of where the studio is now. They make some very divisive titles with 4 and 5 and infinite, ok a tv spinoff with Master Cheeks, go through a complete rebranding, and hire the people that were responsible for Concord, which is the BIGGEST flop in video game history, to come and work on the next title. Its almost as if they want Halo to die and stay buried.

[fickle drift]

No. They’re just bankrupt and unwilling to spend money on an actual team. It’s a skeleton crew. W pfp btw

[hasty geyser]

this reminds me of what destiny 2 has become, insane parallels between to the two franchises

[obsidian wyvern]

regret is just hard because of regret, all of gravemind is hard

[hasty geyser]

i found the dark room of regret to be borderline impossible if i’m being honest, took me a whole evening to beat that one room alone

[obsidian wyvern]

in my experience anyway

dark room?

[hasty geyser]

the one with all the sniper jackals

that room had me questioning my life choices

[sage token]

Ty for the pfp love yours is kinda fire too. I just don't understand why they would hire the ppl that made concord. That just sounds like a recipe for failure

[hasty geyser]

if i’m being honest, i’ll probably have to do the cheese for long night of solace

[pliant hatch]

do you think bungie hated their fans after they made h2 and reach?

[jade gust]

You know people who worked on projects that failed can go on to work on things that succeed, right? You do know that many devs move from studio to studio due to how commonplace it is for devs to be contractors as opposed to full time staff at a studio? You do know that Concord's failings are not directly the fault of any one single dev who worked on that game?

[jade gust]

Money is not the issue, Infinite is not the main priority these days, devs are working on new projects

[jade gust]

Was the room underwater?

[hasty geyser]

Reach is a classic bro. And yeah bungie (at least now) definitely hates their consumers with how manage some of their games (esp destiny 2 with the fomo)

[jade gust]

Reach has its fair share of haters

[hasty geyser]

why?

[jade gust]

As does Halo 2, there was even a website dedicated to hating Halo 2

[hasty geyser]

Pvp or campaign?

[pliant hatch]

reach was very divisive

[hasty geyser]

I liked reach’s campaign the most form the setting to the story to the actual gameplay. The enemy ai in reach is so engaging as well

I can see why halo 2 has its hater

[jade gust]

Bloom, armour lock, the film grain filter over everything, the campaign clearly not respecting already established lore from before CE released

[trim saddle]

Regardless of hate, theres a halo to like for anyone.

[pliant hatch]

and many people liked H4's and Infinite's campaigns as well so does that nullify his point about HS hating their fans?

[jade gust]

Heck, every once in a while, you'll find a sprint hater who remembers it was introduced in Reach, not 4

[hasty geyser]

Why is sprint hated? Most modern fps games have sprint

[jade gust]

Some people really hate the idea of Halo featuring it as a mechanic

[trim saddle]

I liked the addition of sprint and Ive been playing halo since the beginning.

[jade gust]

Those people also don't understand maps being designed with the ability in mind either

At least in the cases I've seen

[floral pollen]

I love sprint personally
Honestly, I just love Infinite's movement sandbox

[hasty geyser]

I need to try infinite

Haven’t played that game yet

[jade gust]

Infinite is very fun in terms of the core gameplay

[hasty geyser]

I heard the campaign is better than both halo 4 and 5

[jade gust]

The grapple especially is a game changer in movement in the campaign

[pliant hatch]

this was in 2010 and halo didn't have abilities yet.

[normal flint]

I wish 5 was available on steam.

[steady jolt]

[normal flint]

I haven't played 5

[jade gust]

As time has gone on, I do kinda miss the thruster pack being an ability we always have access to but I think the way Infinite handled equipment is pretty good

[wheat ridge]

you can play it with pc game pass ultimate

[wheat ridge]

because halo fans are old and cant keep up with more fast paced games

[hasty zinc]

wow

[hasty geyser]

Infinite looks really good, i’m curious are there any co op missions like destiny has in the form of vangaurd strikes, raids, etc

[jade gust]

I'm not old and I can keep up just fine!

[jade gust]

Halo doesn't really do raids

[wheat ridge]

but i think halo infinite solved the sprint

[obsidian wyvern]

targeting aegis

[jade gust]

Not outside of clans making maps to fight each other on

[wheat ridge]

most people just press the sprint button as a habit and in infinite it makes you like 0.5x times faster

[hasty geyser]

Feel like there should be strikes in halo that are coop missions dedicated to taking down certain covenant/banished/prometheus leaders

[jade gust]

I do think the concept of strikes could be adapted

Maybe as a Spartan Ops 2.0

[hasty geyser]

Yeah like that

then there could be a grandmaster version where one wipe= boot back to start (basically the same as iron skull)

[wheat ridge]

The closest thing to this is custom games

[pliant hatch]

sprint was in halo before some of you were born so I'd say they can keep up.

[wheat ridge]

it looks like halo fans don't like new stuff

[jade gust]

To be clear, Halo has always had co-op for the campaigns, just Infinite's was delayed and outside of Reach, it's never been a matchmade activity

[hasty geyser]

I like the concept of boss fights added to halo though

most of endgame in destiny isn’t match made you mostly lfg or play with clan members

[obsidian wyvern]

Will we ever get good boss fights

[hasty geyser]

That’s honestly one good thing about it

[normal owl]

Age is a protected category like race and other features, so do not denigrate or stereotype based on age.

[pliant hatch]

a lot of halo fans nowadays grew up or were introduced to 343's halos so I don't think that's true.

[hasty geyser]

One thing i really really like about bungie halo is the ai

[wheat ridge]

yet they hated them

[hasty geyser]

The enemy ai is extremely creative, smart, and engaging

And not bullet spongy one hit machines

[fickle drift]

Me either, I’m honestly unsure of halo infinite’s future. An Unreal revamp is pretty fire though.

[pliant hatch]

uhh, no. I can't count the amount of defending I've seen over the years for abilities and new things. not saying everyone btw.

[hasty geyser]

Id take modern 343 over modern bungie anyday

[wheat ridge]

just search up "halo" on youtube and the only thing that will come up is halo leaks and "bungie good, 343 bad" type of videos

[hasty geyser]

If halo fans want modern bungie to take halo back, you will be very disappointed

they will just introduce fomo and artificial difficulty

[fickle drift]

Exactly

[jade gust]

Infinite isn't getting revamped in Unreal, the projects in Unreal are gonna be new games

[pliant hatch]

you should expand your view if that's how you form your opinions.

[wheat ridge]

the only thing that would save halo is developers that actually play video games

[meager linden]

Good night

[normal owl]

vaulting various campaign levels lol

[jade gust]

Like, the work it would take to recreate Infinite in Unreal is basically the same it would take to make a new game

"Ow, they vaulted The Ark from Halo 3" is something I never want to say

[idle plume]

And doing that in the first place is a waste of resources

[candid tusk]

What's your goal with that statement?

Expand your view.

[normal owl]

You have below-minimum knowledge of video game development.

[hasty geyser]

it’s funny because bungie devs don’t even playtest destiny 2 before releasing content, that’s why every season is a buggy mess

[wheat ridge]

developers nowadays dont care and dont love videogames, all they care of is money

[hasty geyser]

for example in destiny 2 enemies literally are known for teleporting behind your cover

[jade gust]

It's less they don't playtest and more the higherups laided off their QA

[normal owl]

before it loaded, I knew with 100% certainty what this was, and it is beautiful.

[hasty geyser]

Yup

[fickle drift]

Wasn’t referring to infinite for the Revamp.

[hasty geyser]

can i post links in here?

[wheat ridge]

how can you be so sure?

[hasty geyser]

I can show bungie devs unable tod deal with a singular enemy type in destiny 2

[candid tusk]

That's not the devs my dear, that's the purse suite. The devs very much care for making something that others will enjoy, even if you're not one of those others.

[jade gust]

While devs are more than capable of playtesting, having a dedicated QA team allows for the devs to focus more on making and fixing the game

[normal owl]

because of blanket dumb statements like this.

[obsidian wyvern]

doesn't take much after seeing your messages

[jade gust]

What do you mean then? Because HS isn't revamping by swapping to a new engine

[wheat ridge]

im just telling the truth and you guys are soft

[hasty geyser]

for destiny it’s probably both, but it’s mostly on higher ups for wanting to speed up content to make more money

[idle plume]

Money is the main goal though. But for other games it’s more evident

[hasty geyser]

as a result we get buggy content every season

[muted rose]

Your blaming the wrong people

[obsidian wyvern]

^

[idle plume]

I wonder if they gonna do the free to play for Halo 7 as well

[fickle drift]

The Unreal project for CE they teased a while back

[idle plume]

Making tons of money on battle passes

[jade gust]

CE hasn't been confirmed to be getting a remake

[normal owl]

In your own little world. To the rest of us, everyone is looking at you and seeing someone who has no idea what they're talking about and whose opinions have no credibility.

[wheat ridge]

im blaming people that glaze 343 no matter what

[fickle drift]

The one where people started saying they made master Chief more “woke”?? It was weird

[idle plume]

Making multiplayer free to play is actually genius

[fickle drift]

Well it’s heavily teased. I’m down for it.

[jade gust]

Again, that was not showcasing a CE remake

[muted rose]

Ok, that’s fine, that’s a problem, but those aren’t devs

[idle plume]

All because he looked a little thicc

[muted rose]

Don’t go after people who don’t have anything to do with the current state of things

[wheat ridge]

you cant tell me developers dont care about money

[jade gust]

Like, I am convinced at this point people don't bother listening to devs when they say "Hey, this is a cool showcase of assets in Unreal"

[hasty geyser]

still 343 devs>>> modern bungie devs

[muted rose]

They’re devs, they don’t really make any

[jade gust]

Everyone cares about money. You need it to survive in this world

[muted rose]

It’s a job for the people who love making games

[hasty geyser]

343 is just mismanaged bungie is just lazy

[wheat ridge]

you cant tell me they love halo

[jade gust]

Laziness isn't the problem at Bungie

[muted rose]

I can tell you they need a job

[covert dove]

[wheat ridge]

"we hired people that hate halo 🤓" "we cant hire people that worked at bungie 🤓"

[hasty zinc]

now do the full quote from the first one

[obsidian wyvern]

out of context

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/poe-dameron-heavy-sigh-star-wars-sigh-sighing-gif-26030273

[idle plume]

You know if they really want money all they have to do is spam out projects like ODsT 2 and Halo: Blue team

[hasty geyser]

Bungie is pretty lazy, last season in destiny 2 was so poor that player counts hit all time lows

[muted rose]

Look dude, I agree that studios these days have problems but your blaming the wrong people entirely

[jade gust]

Again, that's not due to laziness

[muted rose]

Devs are just doing their job, they don’t call these shots

[fickle drift]

You’re allowed to have gifs, no fair…

[idle plume]

I wonder when is the bungie tarkov coming out

[wheat ridge]

the developers at 343 are incompetent

[jade gust]

Bungie's current situation is a combination of higherups not caring, layoffs so higherups can have a higher paycheck and Destiny having had its "Avengers Endgame" moment in the form of The Final Shape

[muted rose]

Going after devs gives the higher ups the reasons they need to cut lower staff out, which is never a good thing

[hasty geyser]

like there are SO many bugs in destiny 2 but their priority is adding ornaments and cosmetics for people to buy lol

[hasty zinc]

didn't 343 like just hire someone from bungie like last year lol

[hasty geyser]

But yeah

[idle plume]

They should hire me

[hasty geyser]

Most of it is on the higher ups

I hope some of the old devs of halo from old bungie come back to halo, the bungie halo games will always be a classic

[jade gust]

They did. Also wasn't Sketch hired after he left Bungie?

[idle plume]

I don’t understand the higher ups, they let call of duty have 2 projects a year and Halo has only one every 7 years

[muted rose]

If you have problems with a studio, you should be looking at people in marketing, or management, or anything financial, you should be following the money

[wheat ridge]

they aren't allowed to

[hasty zinc]

that is false

bro watches too much Mint Blitz

[jade gust]

COD was until the Activision acquisition the other year, not under Microsoft. They had different corporate overlords to answer to

[normal owl]

You are tragically clueless about the very thing you are apparently so passionate about.

[fickle drift]

A warthog spinning 10,000 miles up in the air with a velocity of 200 kph landing on a sleeping grunt must have been the cause of it.

[wheat ridge]

"343 Industries has a policy of not hiring former Bungie developers who worked on Halo. This has been widely discussed in the Halo community, especially by ex-Bungie devs themselves. The reasoning behind this policy is not publicly confirmed by Microsoft or 343, but speculation suggests a few possible reasons.

Multiple former Bungie devs, including Marty O'Donnell, have commented that 343 simply wouldn’t consider them for Halo roles, even if they wanted to return."

[fossil skiff]

How does that compare to the velocity of an unladen swallow?

[hasty zinc]

what's your source?

[jade gust]

Old blood isn't going to guarantee the next Halo will be good

[hasty zinc]

(wait for it)

[wheat ridge]

google

[muted rose]

Marty can’t come back for unrelated reasons

[obsidian wyvern]

also it was explained why they didn't

[jade gust]

Google is a search engine, not a source

[idle plume]

The next Halo is gonna be good and also 70 dollars

[jade gust]

Like, if I used Bing, another search engine, as a source unironically, I'd be laughed at

[fossil skiff]

This is like using Wikipedia as a source in a class presentation

[hasty geyser]

we can all agree on one thing that infinite is miles better than the trash that was 5

[fickle drift]

Oh my emoji overload

[jade gust]

Wikipedia is thankfully good for finding sources

[hasty geyser]

halo 5 campaign is the worst thing i’ve ever played

[idle plume]

Sometimes I wonder what Halo would look like if Bungie stayed

[fossil skiff]

Yes. But citing it is the issue 😭

[muted rose]

There’s plenty of people and things to go after, going after devs is dumb and wrong

[steady jolt]

Studio just hired 2 prominent Forgers last week, from what I read
Guess it's the community that's incompetent then 😂

[hasty zinc]

oof (to the last part, the first part is awesome)

[fickle drift]

Type stuff. Least favorite campaign.

[jade gust]

I don't like to view the games in such absolutes, Halo 5 brought some pretty cool things to the series. Sure the story isn't great but the gameplay is solid and I love the environmental design across most the levels and maps

[obsidian wyvern]

hard disagree

[hasty geyser]

I just didn’t like the campaign or the gameplay, or even the graphics, i personally enjoyed 4 more (just personal opinion)

[normal owl]

Absolutely not all agreed. H5 was my favorite multiplayer of all.

[fickle drift]

H5 did a good few things better than Infinite.

Like being a live service. 🤭

[hasty geyser]

Oh

[obsidian wyvern]

having an actual story

[hasty geyser]

i was talking about campaign not multiplayer, never touched multiplayer so i can’t judge

[muted rose]

5 had a plethora of problems, but none of them were the kind infinite has

[jade gust]

Halo 5 also launched with an SMG, which I hope happens with the next mainline game

[fickle drift]

Same. Never even touched MP

[obsidian wyvern]

and good campaign level design

[hasty geyser]

well we have our own opinions

[fossil skiff]

Where’s the 5 minute game dev sticker thingy

[fickle drift]

Indeed

[pliant hatch]

I just saw the source and it's not even correct.

[muted rose]

5 was and is a finished game by all means, I can’t say the same about Infinite

[idle plume]

I hope Halo 7 brings back railgun

[wheat ridge]

railgun suck

[normal owl]

I liked 5's campaign a lot more: diversity of settings especially, and story delivered by characters in the setting with you, not just over video screen.

[jade gust]

Honestly, I'm surprised the Railgun was axed from the sandbox for Halo Infinite

[normal owl]

Endgame, with that rapid fire 2nd shot.

[fickle drift]

I mean H5 was severely lacking at launch as well, it’s just that Infinite was even worse and took even longer to get going.

[hasty zinc]

just as long as the anti-fun gun stays out. I'm ok with whatever weapon stuff they want to do

[obsidian wyvern]

everyone complaining about 5s story requiring the book and not saying the same about infinite is wild

[hasty geyser]

Wow i’ve never seen halo 5 campaign get praise

[hasty zinc]

you must be new here

[hasty geyser]

maybe i’ll replay it

[muted rose]

It had a plan and foresight that was followed, I can’t say the same about infinite

[fickle drift]

The Mantis section rocks

[jade gust]

That thing was my favourite one of the Railgun variants. Not saying Arclight is bad, but I just prefered that specific Railgun

[normal owl]

The vocal gripe population is not representative of the actual gaming population.

[wheat ridge]

dont hurt yourself

[idle plume]

I look at you with disrespect. If you were my co worker I would steal your lunch and put it in the freezer

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/my-man-together-smile-gif-20682410

[muted rose]

They both suffer from having a character driven plot and a plot that moves too fast and too inconsistently to reach their potential?

[obsidian wyvern]

tbh I don't get what that has to do with my point lol

[frosty siren]

evertime i think of this sence i think of Preator 1

[muted rose]

It’s a feature of both games

[jade gust]

I kinda hope they look at the variants for how to make the Railgun function for the next game

[muted rose]

Moves too fast for its own good

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm just thinking all of halo 5s story I could understand with the game

you kinda needed 2 books for infinite

[jade gust]

Like, let it just carry two rounds for the base variant

[idle plume]

The fact that an entire story that should have been part of the campaign was compressed into a 1 minute introduction cutscene lmao

[muted rose]

You kind of don’t need books for 5 though

That’s the thing that irritates me

[obsidian wyvern]

that's what I'm saying

[muted rose]

Yeah and I have to agree

Infinite would have benefited tremendously by just slowing down

[normal owl]

I think it'll largely depend on how the movement is for the next game. Railgun would be impractically too effective with Infinite's more restrained movement; it was only sort of countered by how agile players were in H5's moveset.

[jade gust]

Fair

[fickle drift]

You ever wonder what Anders is doing these days?

She still on that Ring somewhere?

[normal owl]

but man, Endgame as a OHK pvp weapon: delightful.

[jade gust]

Ideally, I think the next game should bring back a bit of the additional movement we got in Halo 5

Like I don't need the ground pound, as cool as it was

[idle plume]

Dead

[jade gust]

But I do miss having the thruster in my back pocket at all times

[muted rose]

Would be a good point to follow up on for a hw3

[normal owl]

YES, feeling like an agile supersoldier, not just a heavy trooper.

[jade gust]

Exactly

[fickle drift]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-tanamen-gecky-incorporeal-gif-21102682

[jade gust]

Back before we learnt we were gonna be on Zeta Halo for Infinite, I had assumed Installation 09 would be where Infinite was set, allowing for Anders to appear and interact with Chief

[idle plume]

Shrek 5 is coming and people are already mad about the redesigns

[fickle drift]

I think I’d have preferred that all things considered.

[muted rose]

5’s legendary ending showed a ring, I don’t think it said what ring

Could’ve worked

[idle plume]

The one ring to rule them all

[jade gust]

They weren't really redesigned, just tweaked to fit the Puss in Boots Last Wish artstyle

[trim saddle]

Would of been nice if the Spirit of Fire showed up at the end cutscene of infinite.

[idle plume]

I was gonna say that

[signal wedge]

JEROMEEEE

[hasty zinc]

isn't Spirit of Fire stuck with no slipspace drive?

[trim saddle]

they can make one with 2 sticks and a rock

[muted rose]

Yeah, don’t think we ever got an answer for how they got to the ark either

[normal owl]

You know what Infinite's campaign was? a bottle episode. That explains all the missing tie-ins and the self-containment.

[idle plume]

Anything could happen tbh. They can slingshot themselves using the sun or something

[hasty zinc]

I see

[normal owl]

using the sun?

[idle plume]

Yeah a star

[hasty zinc]

although since the ark is outside of the milky way galaxy, I don't think a slingshot around a planetary body would do much good

[idle plume]

Must be careful though otherwise they will go back in time by accident

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/wheezer-slingshot-our-gang-little-rascals-bobby-hutchins-gif-17878897

You would actually need two stars for a slingshot as well as a massive rubber band.

Awesome glad to hear just went to academy yesterday and got two catcher gloves for my collection

I used to play baseball when I was a kid and would still do

[fickle drift]

Home run

[lapis ivy]

Question the catcher dude isn't also known as an umpire?

In baseball

[normal owl]

Umpire is a referee; catcher is a player.

[lapis ivy]

Oh ok thanks

[pearl laurel]

No one wants to play

I heard halo studios is working on a new halo , is it true?

[meager linden]

Multiple Halo projects

[pearl laurel]

Can’t wait, that sounds exciting. I hope they at least consider adding dual wielding or playable elites.

[cobalt kelp]

hi

[stuck sluice]

Hello Mr. TV Show Master Chief.

[cobalt kelp]

hi (lol)

[round hill]

Hey
I animated this halo short
What do you think of it?
https://youtu.be/KxWbQ4S7WZM?si=4DYQ-OmEYjDqjUZc

[cobalt kelp]

WAAUW

its actually very f**** cool man

well done

how long did you work on that?

This actually is my main thing in Among Us lol

[round hill]

Thankyou
I started from basic, like storyboarding to modelling to finally sound design and editing
All in all it took me like 5-6 months, along with my college work

[cobalt kelp]

wauw

nice work man

[idle plume]

The Minecraft hinge heads look kinda cute

[fickle drift]

sup

[pastel trellis]

Question

has anyone used/downloaded Vanity for reach?

I tried but all the links aren't working for me

Help

[terse moon]

That's on pc right?

[frosty siren]

guessing in the morning you pop all ur bones

[plucky rapids]

I have a question for everyone. Will halo end as a franchise?

[candid tusk]

As long as there are stories to tell in universe, no.

[plucky rapids]

Wdyt halo 7 will be about

[fickle drift]

The Endless, assuming they don't drop that thread.

[plucky rapids]

Wait your a staff member right

[fickle drift]

I just ordered the Halo mythos book. Anoda for the collection!

[fickle drift]

A volunteer moderator not staff in any official capacity lol

So anyway. I am hoping for the next title to be good but I'm a bit tired of the main story now. Which is funny given how little Infinite contributed.

[plucky rapids]

Prob won't because. They hired people that hated guns and also people that hated halo and this is a very bad start for the staff on halo

Also for the fact they actually did good with infinite next time if they add cat ears and weird stuff like in infinite I'm gonna quit

[candid tusk]

If I had to guess, it's going to be about self-replicating grey goo from the future time traveling back to the past, and then Chief has to go to that future's past to stop the goo from ever being made.

[steady jolt]

The "hired people that hate halo" is such a terrible misquote

[candid tusk]

Never said I was good at guessing though.

[steady jolt]

Halo Studios has hired so many members of the community over the last 15 years

Here's the full context of that quote

"We had people who we hired who hated Halo because of 'X,'" says O'Connor. "But what that really meant was, 'I feel like this game could be awesome because of 'Y input' that I'm going to bring into it. I want to prove it, and I'm passionate about proving it.' So we ended up with a bunch of people who were genuinely passionate about the product. That is a huge advantage, and that helped in hiring and forming our team."
https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/making-i-halo-4-i-a-story-about-triple-a
Hated was more than likely a much stronger word that Frank meant to use at the time, but you rarely get to follow up / clarify these things before they're cemented in

[fickle drift]

Honestly hating flaws of prior games is a great motivator to improve.

Like, how about we never do Bloom again.

[plucky rapids]

I'm being honest look at halo then vs now. We lost the feel on what halo was and no you guys don't listen all you guys did was add one thing a year and I thought ok infinite might be good and it is but now the fact we have hired people that hate guns. Thats just terrible. We're ruining the game by the second. And you guys are giving halo to a console that hated halo. Actually no that's Microsoft I'll save that for them. But still the fact we are seeing stuff like NeW CosMETics and damn cat ears it looks like the only good thing you added this year was action sack

[steady jolt]

Ok

[plucky rapids]

I will love halo again if we just do that

[meager linden]

I've missed something?

[fickle drift]

Nothing worthwhile.

[plucky rapids]

I'm surprised someone actually just responded with ok. Half the time I just get cursed out by the staff 😭

[dense orbit]

Halo Infinite is on the verge of receiving 'Mostly Negative' reviews on Steam. If its rating drops below 40%, it will officially be classified as 'Negative.' Currently, it stands at 48%.

[plucky rapids]

Not much just the fact the halo is prob screwed by people that hate guns

[candid tusk]

I'm very much imagining the interview process being something similar to...

Interviewer: Hey, Halo super fan that wants to work with us? What's one thing that stands out and grinds your gears that if you could, you would change, and how would you change it?

Halo super fan then replies with whatever info they genuinely feel passionate about. Because that's how it works. Nobody applies to work on something they fully hate, genuinely.

[meager linden]

No comments

[fickle drift]

I think a sci-fi millitary shooter franchise is an odd place to go if you're pacifistic but I can't judge anything until I've seen the output of their work.
The game is all that matters to me at the end of the day.

[plucky rapids]

We're not hating we're saying the truth. Look at halo then vs now. Then was more energetic but now is somewhat ok compared to the fact that people aren't liking this. Like the whole halo community RN is dogging on halo rn like I even loved halo 5 but now that I'm older and have been playing mcc halo kinda lost its feel

[candid tusk]

I don't believe you, plainly. If you liked Halo 5, you're not an "average internet" Halo fan.

[plucky rapids]

Wdym by average

[steady jolt]

Who's got the r/halo graphic, the one with the slider for old games/current games

[fickle drift]

See the narrative is that Infinite is better than H5 but also shot itself in the foot. You're straying from script.

[plucky rapids]

Que?

[candid tusk]

By average I mean raging lunatic going on about DEI and Woke.

[plucky rapids]

Oh yeah the reason people hate that stuff is because they might try to push it onto halo and that's not what halo is about

[candid tusk]

There's a slope you've slipped down at some point between the time you enjoyed Halo 5 to now, and I don't believe it has anything to do with Halo.

Halo has always been woke. You're literally fighting a war against a christo-fascist analog.

[plucky rapids]

I loved halo 5 and still do it's just when I tried reach I loved it more for the fact that it doesn't feel the same anymore

And them shutting down halo reach and 3 was criminal

[steady jolt]

Can't support games and servers forever. Some of them were going for 14 years

[fickle drift]

So Bungie shutting down H2 back in 2010 was criminal as well aye

[plucky rapids]

Yeah it was

[steady jolt]

Maintenance costs time and resources, the longer something runs for, the harder and more expensive it becomes to maintain and keep it secure

[plucky rapids]

What would have been really nice with mcc is that if you guys added custom menu UI like reach's menu ui

[fickle drift]

You know even that legal movement to preserve games doesn't expect perpetual server upkeep because that's an insane request.

[steady jolt]

At some point, the amount of work and money required to keep it secure will outweigh the benefit of keeping it going - especially if nobody is using the services

I don't work for Halo Studios, just so we're clear here

[plucky rapids]

I will gladly donate my entire bank account to have halo reach back

[candid tusk]

That won't be enough.

[plucky rapids]

C'mon 15 is enough 😭

As long mcc is up I'm chilling

[jade gust]

Did I miss a fun discussion about incorrect quotes and misinformation about people who work on the series?

[plucky rapids]

Ye

[meager linden]

Yes, and you're lucky one

[jade gust]

Aw, I love getting to watch people get their false info proven wrong in real time

Anyway

If any of y'all need a recommendation for lunch, cheese toasty packed with chilli and olives

[plucky rapids]

You really want to add on this

[dry lintel]

I can feel my eyes glaze over every time someone calls something woke these days

[trim saddle]

So you sleep on it?

also, hello all you wonderful spartans!

[normal owl]

Hey how's Avowed Sevenfold??

[trim saddle]

Avowed is a lot of fun and a decent time dump

[normal owl]

man i bet! Now that you've gotten through a decent chunk of it, any "wish I knew this before I started" thoughts?

[trim saddle]

Grab every plant you see and explore, youll run into some really cool stuff most of the time.

upgrade materials arent as common as Id think and exploring gave me a lot of chances to grab more of it, so that lead to my gear being at a good level. Also the party chest has no limit, so store all the weapons and armor you wont use/break down for materials in it.

[normal owl]

"has no limit" are the sweetest words I can hear in a RPG. And I love exploring all nooks & crannies: good to know that will be rewarded.

[trim saddle]

I have this ring that increases crit chance with how much $ I have, so im STACKED lmao

[dry lintel]

How’s the combat?

[normal owl]

I have never seen that kind of perk; that's hilarious!

[trim saddle]

it felt a bit clunky at first but it feels solid and polished. I just increased my look sense and it solved the issue of "being stuck in mud" and that feeling was at the start of the game.

[dry lintel]

Good to hear. I don’t think I’ll start Avowed any time soon but it’s definitely on my list

[normal owl]

I read that some of the abilities can make combat flow very well compared to other ARPGs, which sounds fun.

[trim saddle]

I have boots that increase dodge distance and perk tree help that too so I dart around with my dual pistols and sword/shield. Very fun.

[normal owl]

These boots were made for dodging 👢

Are you getting Assassin's Creed Shadows or is that not the kind of open-world game for you?

[trim saddle]

I generally wait for the AC games to pop into gamepass to play them. I imagine Mirage will come to gamepass when Shadows drops lol

[dry lintel]

On the topic of open world Ubisoft games, I finished Far Cry 5 this week, never played a Far Cry before and it was honestly a blast

Ubi gets a bad rap for their game design but idk, maybe the checklist speaks to my gremlin brain

[dim geode]

Good morning Halo Nation, how we feeling?

[trim saddle]

Amazing. A week until my GF flies up for a weekend visit.

[molten pelican]

I've started the Ezio trilogy recently, I think I enjoy the slightly more linear storytelling a little more

Valhalla runs great on the rog ally so I'm nipping at that, but the story is just not interesting in my opinion, odyssey is great and I've spent the most amount of time in it, but thus far the ezio games have hooked me a lot more

[fickle drift]

Revelations has one of my favorite moments in fiction.

So I hold the Ezio games in high regard

[molten pelican]

I'm excited to get to it, rn I'm
Enjoying AC2 (very very late to the party)

[fickle drift]

It's got such an atmosphere to it

Jesper Kyd's soundtrack is phenominal

[molten pelican]

It does, and the characters and story is actually interesting

[dry lintel]

I played a few hours of Origins once upon a time otherwise I’ve never played AC, I have like half the older games through games with gold tho so one day I’ll have to play them, but I’m a completionist and I’ve heard about those feathers 😂

[molten pelican]

I love AC3s soundtrack, but I don't want to get the remastered version but that's the only version on steam

And I don't really want to get it through another launcher other than steam lol

[dry lintel]

Ubi was planning to make a launcher just for AC

Don’t know if that’s still happening

[molten pelican]

Ew lol

I already hate their launcher now lol

[kindred urchin]

Anyone tryna run pubs later. I’m learning M&K and wanna get better

[normal owl]

I completely get that: Valhalla was a bit too scattered (and brown) for me, loved Odyssey, and I have very fond memories of going through the Ezio trilogy story. And if you just got into AC2, have you gotten to the part near the beginning: "It's-a-me, Mario!"

[normal owl]

Yeah, Infinity, like the CoD launcher. I hope they still do that. It's been a longtime wish of mine that in-game store credits be shared between games, and it seemed to be one of their planned features last I heard.

[dry lintel]

Well I hope the launcher doesn’t completely suck then, just for you

[jade gust]

I genuinely think Assassin's Creed Origins, even with the changes they were forced to make to the game's story during development, is one of the best games Ubisoft has ever published. I just wish they went in a different direction with the games they made after in regards to how to tell the story (That and Bayek is a character who deserved sequels for his story like Ezio got)

[dry lintel]

I will say the presentation of it was incredible, I’ll have to give it another shot one day. Shout out to Abubakar Salim, the va for Bayek. Pretty awesome dude in the industry as well

[jade gust]

I am begging for him to be given a character in a Halo project, he would be fantastic

[normal owl]

Mannnnn Origins was such a delight. 100% on that statement.
