They would try to kill the enemy in the most gruesome way for a competition

[hoary locust]

I would've cared like 10 years ago but I'm on PC so it really doesn't matter anymore

[peak trench]

I moved to PC as soon as master chief collection showed up I knew right then Xbox would be everywhere eventually

[waxen rose]

Death by tearing apart at the waist or bazooka💖

[hoary locust]

That's around when I made the switch too lmao I also had my first big boy job for about a year at that point so I could afford it too

It is almost time for an upgrade though I'll probably stick with my 3070ti for about another year hopefully all this tariff stuff will blow over by then

Hello Halo Nation, how we feeling?

[peak trench]

Halo

[hasty zinc]

why did you reply to my comment though? the speedrun comment was in reply to spork

[waxen rose]

Like one million doll hairs

[analog knot]

New speedrun: I reported a cheater who was flying around in matchmaking. Lets see 😄

[peak trench]

People did that in halo 3 a lot on 360, pissed me off so baddd

[waxen rose]

Where's the “fastest to get the headless spartan glitch” speedrunners at💔

[peak trench]

I'ma push this 3060 to 2030

Although oblivion remastered says otherwise

[worldly sedge]

Did y’all hear they’re gonna put Star Wars in Destiny 2 Renegades?

[peak trench]

I didd

Destiny 2 is going to be abandoned pretty soon I'd say yeah? Once marathon shows up

[hoary locust]

I've tried so hard over the years to get into destiny but just couldn't

Maybe I just didn't have a good friend group to keep me invested or something

[worldly sedge]

I’ve played Destiny since day one in 2014 and been on & off with it over the decade

Last played it June 2023 and that’s it since then going back to Halo

Hello everyone

Good one

[meager linden]

Good cold night people of Halo

[molten pelican]

[peak trench]

Halo

[waxen rose]

you keep making me shed tears, ‘it aint cute’

[peak trench]

Best part was I forgot they said anything when they said that part 😂 they took it personal but I had completely forgotten about them at that point

[rough nexus]

I made the m41 tracker boss act like a berserker

[haughty wraith]

make sure he doesn't use the ban exploit that 343 has yet to fix

[faint mantle]

Want

[analog knot]

This is harder. Its a feature not a bug. I want that quit ban system reworked/removed, but thats totally dreaming. We likely arent going to get free stuff let alone something that intense 😛

[haughty wraith]

we aren't getting anything if it's beneficial to us

[waxen rose]

Some halo fans are just kinda… lame
Grown people who feel no shame

[analog knot]

I dont agree with this. My priorities arent always going to align with theirs, thats reality. I believe the devs are doing the best they can, but I can also wish for more

[flat coyote]

I just want different maps or map/mode combos in ranked

Game is best halo mp since reach in its current state IMO but ranked is a bit lacking

Unfortunately I don’t enjoy radar so ranked is like my only option

I’ve seen some damn good maps already in the game they could surely use

Would kill for a midship fix that runs stable on old consoles

[queen quail]

I think 343(halo studios) for the next halo, needs amazon servers

[haughty wraith]

The devs might be, but the corporate entity looming over them is holding them back

[waxen rose]

Halo 7: drop shipping

[candid solar]

I'm pretty sure Microsoft would rather eat its own hands than let that happen.

Good thing, too.

[hasty zinc]

almost done 👏

then I can put on the last suit of armor I will ever wear

[clear hamlet]

Are only some armor coatings universal for armor types?

[haughty wraith]

I think most armor coatings are cross core

most if not all, I know a couple aren't cross core

[analog knot]

I look forward to the day the concept of cross core is erased 😄

[tawny fjord]

is pinging all a timeout?

[analog knot]

Theres no shot they have that enabled

[tawny fjord]

?

[haughty wraith]

mods are gonna murder you 😭

yeah

[hasty zinc]

you cant even do it

[haughty wraith]

speaking of which

[queen quail]

well amazon has servers in all america continent

[nova bough]

ONI censorship is summoned

[candid solar]

Okay? So does Microsoft?

[nova bough]

its so joever

[clear hamlet]

How’s the new firefight? I’m redownloading infinite after a long break

[queen quail]

you sure it does?

[nova bough]

they even have a specific server for IDAHO.

a blessing

[haughty wraith]

Microsoft has servers in every state iirc

[queen quail]

on halo usa eu and australia nothing else

[haughty wraith]

They've got servers in a few different countries aswell

[nova bough]

yalll i have a question

whats the other currency called thats not the spartan credits

[haughty wraith]

why's this guy's message keep getting deleted

[hasty zinc]

credits

[tawny fjord]

Does anyone wanna run Campaign (Xbox Only)

[haughty wraith]

there are spartan points and credits

[nova bough]

are they exclusively bought or can they be earned (in communistically small amounts)

[haughty wraith]

which one

[nova bough]

the credits for battle passes

[haughty wraith]

Spartan points are used in the exchange and are free, Credits are paid for and used in the shop

[nova bough]

the only pass that can 'earn' you them is lone wolves correct?

[haughty wraith]

The credits?

[nova bough]

yes

[haughty wraith]

All of the passes before operations have 1000 credits in them

[hasty zinc]

there are multiple passes with credits

if you start with the last one to have credits you can earn enough credits for each of the passes before it

[haughty wraith]

Enough to buy the rest of the passes if you save your credits

[tawny fjord]

wait crossplay isnt in halo right?

[hasty zinc]

it is

for infinite and 3/ODST on MCC

[haughty wraith]

PC and Xbox players can play together, yes

[tawny fjord]

wb for campaign

[hasty zinc]

yes

[haughty wraith]

I don't think so? What game

[tawny fjord]

infinite

[haughty wraith]

dunno, aegis seems to know though

[haughty wraith]

How did bro get muted 😭

Ah the name

Did they fix the Academy Firefight so that you gain normal XP?

[tawny fjord]

Aegis, is reach available on gamepass?

[haughty wraith]

yes

every game on MCC is available on gamepass if I'm not mistaken

[tawny fjord]

ok

im planning to get 1 $ gamepass ultimate deal

[haughty wraith]

alright

[hoary locust]

Just played a match and only got 250

[tawny fjord]

man i wanna play reach so bad

literly best campaign

[haughty wraith]

you're aware that the payments after that 1$ will be full priced though right

[tiny solstice]

Same thing happened to me yesterday

[tawny fjord]

yep

[meager linden]

All of them best

[haughty wraith]

Except for 5

[tawny fjord]

halo 5 sucks

[haughty wraith]

we don't talk about 5

[tawny fjord]

fr

[hasty zinc]

5 def better than reach and odst

[meager linden]

You're all not right
EVERY Halo campaign is best

[tawny fjord]

bro who cooked infinite chief armor

[haughty wraith]

however I think the multiplayer and the swords of sanghelios mission were pretty good

[hoary locust]

I do wish they would bring warzone back that mode was so much fun

[haughty wraith]

You're tweaking

[hasty zinc]

nah

[haughty wraith]

5 is a slog compared to those two

[tawny fjord]

bro reach cooked and 5 is js dookie

[hasty zinc]

reach did in fact cook 😏

[tawny fjord]

lets make a debate, whats the best halo campaign

tbh i think reach or CE was good

[hasty zinc]

4

[meager linden]

Halo

[haughty wraith]

4 was okay

but tbh

whatchyall know about 3 and HW1

[radiant glade]

Halo Mega blocks Campaign is da best

[haughty wraith]

they should've dropped that

I would've bought it in a heartbeat

[steady jolt]

Probably same, but shout out to Halo 2 and ODST, and I had a ton of fun playing Infinite's campaign. 5's gameplay was awesome too

[tawny fjord]

bro i dont even know whats going on in wars 😭

[haughty wraith]

it literally spoonfeeds you the story

did you just plug your ears and yell during the cutscenes

[radiant glade]

fight over car dealership or insurance something in the commercials

[haughty wraith]

that'd be peak

[tawny fjord]

I LOVE REACH

[meager linden]

Failed bait

[obsidian wyvern]

but aegis truly believes that

[hasty zinc]

you must be new here

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah never seen wade before

[steady jolt]

Yeah that isn't bait

[fickle drift]

Who is this wade guy

[meager linden]

You already seen a new warbond in helldivers?

[tawny fjord]

Aegis Can me get role

[steady jolt]

[radiant glade]

Aegis can buy me Halo 4

[hoary locust]

Halo 4 is top 3 narrative wise argue with a wall

[meager linden]

My worst nightmare is a

[radiant glade]

its up to Aegis to get people halo 4

[steady jolt]

Dammit. Laced records website screwed up my address, so my Halo LPS made it all the way to my city and then got rejected and sent back :/

[hasty zinc]

oh crap, are they going to resend?

[wicked hawk]

Don't know if this is a hot take, but I think ground pound should make a comeback to halo

[steady jolt]

Need to call Royal Mail tomorrow and see if it was actually sent back to the US. If it was, need to reach out Laced and see if they can resent with the corrected address

[fickle drift]

Hey guys, is there no asian playerbase for the mcc?

[wicked hawk]

could be troublesome to find games depending on the hours I'd assume, most players are in north america

[fickle drift]

Haven't found a single server in Asia ever since I installed the game

[wicked hawk]

same goes for europe

[fickle drift]

Its all in NA and EU 💔

[candid solar]

Halo has never really historically been popular in Asian server regions.

[fickle drift]

Asians are too busy on mobas and valorant

[obsidian wyvern]

its still in infinite

[wicked hawk]

no?

[fickle drift]

Upgraded Grappleshot

[wicked hawk]

lmao

i mean in standard multiplayer ofc

[fickle drift]

Oh, then yeah consider the take warm ig. Keep the power moves out imo.

[wicked hawk]

& the hover when aiming mid-air was nice too

[obsidian wyvern]

some maps have the upgraded one tbf

mostly btb maps

[meager linden]

FF also have, but only in one map

Cinema.

[molten pelican]

So I actually went to the theater to watch thunderbolts. First time in a long time for a marvel movie I actually went out to watch it lol

[obsidian wyvern]

verdict

[waxen ruin]

was it garbage?

[obsidian wyvern]

it sounds like its good so doubt it

[fickle drift]

I've heard it was good. But, from the people who hate John Walker and think Yelena is more interesting than Nat so...

[obsidian wyvern]

but ive heard thats only because the mcu didnt do much for nat

[fickle drift]

oof

[molten pelican]

No I didn't like it lol

Won't go to another one in theater

I'm gonna go rewatch winter solider or smthn to be happy again

[fickle drift]

It really does impress me how much good will they've burned.
Like, ruining such a broad swathe of characters takes work.

[molten pelican]

Yeah it's really impressive

Task master lol

[fickle drift]

I mean they didn't try to begin with there.

[molten pelican]

Yeah idk why they included her in this film

[fickle drift]

MVC is my only context for that character and still lol

[molten pelican]

I can't really talk about this movie since I don't want to accidentally spoil anything

Peak fight scenes nothing comes close recently for marvel

[waxen rose]

ANOTHER marvel glazer, well well well

[molten pelican]

Endgame and before? Yes. Post Endgame? More of a hater actually

[fickle drift]

I think it goes downhill after Infinity War, I'm just quirky like that.

Even it has the stupid Sling Ring shenanigans but it's over-lookable.

[molten pelican]

That's fair

I think Endgame was an acceptable ending for most characters, but infinity war was better

Infinity saga feels like Christmas, the build up and atmosphere leading up is amazing, then Christmas hits which is of course wonderful, but then January rolls around and you're just sad lol

[waxen rose]

Im trying to watch Legally Blonde but I have work in 30 minutes💔

You can cram it in, set it to 3x speed

Considering we've got new weapon customization, I wonder how they're gonna handle energy sword customization in the future-if they choose to handle it at all.

[obsidian wyvern]

idk how easy itll be because of the variant swords too

but does the needler coating affect the needler variant for example

[candid solar]

IIRC one coating does

[obsidian wyvern]

if so, then it isnt a problem

[candid solar]

Acid Wash

[obsidian wyvern]

..one? weird

sorry i meant the white needler variant, not the colours of the blamite

pinpoint needler? i think thats what its called

[candid solar]

Oh, yeah, no, it's like the UNSC guns

Always forces the cosmetics even when the gun is a variant

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah then i guess having sword colours isnt a problem

[rare cedar]

Can’t wait for my pepperoni coating on the sword

[candid solar]

It's not like I really change my playstyle when I see someone with a bloodblade.

[obsidian wyvern]

then its just, do they apply coatings? or just stick to giving the sword basic colours

[candid solar]

Like, it's a sword, I don't even know what's different

[candid solar]

I'd say make the sword blade always fit the variant, personally, but I don't know if they could really implement that.

I know the coating system is kind of similar across everything in Infinite (Which admittedly makes me confused as to why customizing non-UNSC weapons took this long to implement), but still

halo chief

[fickle drift]

hi

im new here

huge halo2 and halo3 fan

[fleet imp]

gud

[fickle drift]

hows everyone tonight

[fleet imp]

did you play em from mcc?

[fickle drift]

em?

[fleet imp]

em means them

[fickle drift]

oo play em

well halo 2 on og xbox at a friends and then halo 3 on 360 and yeah mcc

[fleet imp]

halo 3 i think xbox 360 and halo 2 from mcc

[fickle drift]

mcc had a rather rough start but its good to see they still working on it

[fleet imp]

theyre not working on it

[fickle drift]

oh

[fleet imp]

theyre not giving updates

[fickle drift]

well maybe theres some new halo projects in the works

[fleet imp]

theyre just supporting infinite

[fickle drift]

i skipped infinite tbh

was it good?

[fleet imp]

mp is like meh right now.

campaign is good

[fickle drift]

atleast halo devs know not to release a halo without mp

[obsidian wyvern]

it still gets a few updates

[obsidian wyvern]

there are multiple yeah

[fickle drift]

nice

did i hear right that halo 3 might get a re release or was that bs

[obsidian wyvern]

nothing confirmed, and that isnt a rumour thats popular so

[fickle drift]

gotcha

i thought invasion mode in reach was an interesting change .. almost felt like a mission in mp

that feeling of bypassing the elites and pushing them further back behind other shields is a really cool concept

[dry lintel]

Citrus Wash

[candid solar]

Jeans

[dry lintel]

🤘

[obsidian wyvern]

would be nice if they moved this out of ranked in mcc

would also make that achievement for winning possible without boosting

[fickle drift]

It never made much sense as a Ranked mode, but it would be awkward placed into the Composer

Since its a one-game mode with a unique team composition.

wasnt there like two variants of invasion? invasion and then invasion blits? ididnt care fo the blits variant..i prefered the mission based mode

[obsidian wyvern]

i never played invasion on the 360 so idk

[fickle drift]

There was Invasion Skirmish which had the hills with weapon drops iirc

So it was still 6v6 Spartan vs Elites with Squad Spawning, but it was played on standard maps with timed 'reinforcement' areas that dropped weapons.

[dry lintel]

Invasion never hit the same on mcc

[fickle drift]

yea i really just remember enjoying the ones where you pushed them back planted the bomb and won

[molten pelican]

lol I accidentally took Benadryl instead of Claritin before my 6:00am shift today

Deleted that so I don't get caught discussing it lol

[remote spruce]

me and you both

[shell elbow]

Yeah, but now I'm kinda excited because it means I was onto something if they specifically called it leaked or datamined content

Can't wait for new weapons and custom Spartans in campaign

[meager linden]

Even if you deleted it, mods will catch you

[fossil skiff]

Mods see all

[remote spruce]

nobody is safe

[meager linden]

They have logs

[shell elbow]

Question is, why wouldn't they want people talking about it?

[meager linden]

Rules

[shell elbow]

It would generate more hype and increase support

[meager linden]

No, it's not

[hasty zinc]

people who discuss leaked/datamined content often set others up to be let down if they don't come to fruition

[shell elbow]

Yeah but like, I was asking why they weren't coming, so I'm confused

[hasty zinc]

any discussion of leaked/datamined content isn't allowed. It doesn't mean it confirmed a theory you may have had

[shell elbow]

But it wasn't leaked? Was it? If so where?

Genuinely actually curious

[meager linden]

Good rainy morning people of Halo

[remote spruce]

very good

[shell elbow]

It's night for me

[hasty zinc]

1. I don't know what leak you're referring to
2. I would not talk about leaks since they can't be talked about
3. Maybe next to the toaster or under your bed

[remote spruce]

oh no

[shell elbow]

I wasn't referring to any leak? So why was it marked as leaked content?

[remote spruce]

this makes no sense anymore

[shell elbow]

See

[hasty zinc]

let's not discuss this here, if you'd like to discuss server moderation dm @bleak yoke

[shell elbow]

Ok...?

[candid solar]

Don't make me start crying about being able to see Plain Deal in the armor hall for months ;v;

I want that coating so damn bad

[hasty zinc]

idk what that even looks like

[remote spruce]

would you buy it

[candid solar]

Yes.

[remote spruce]

nice

[candid solar]

I've bought stupider things so

[hasty zinc]

I paid for Prefect

[candid solar]

Perfect Prefect, finally yours.

[hasty zinc]

I love it, I'm so happy

I knew the coating would look good on it too

my favorite coating in the game

[shell elbow]

I got cross core through glitches so now I have Noble 6 in Mk.V

Only had to pay for the kit

[waxen rose]

Rare Joyous and happy satisfied halo fan spotted! <3

[remote spruce]

so rare nowadays

[shell elbow]

Very happy with my purchase

[waxen rose]

Another joyous halo fan, very whimsical to see

[shell elbow]

Next imma customize the H2 kit to make Fred

Muahahahahahahahah the power of glitches are immense and immeasurable

[waxen rose]

Get it king!

[remote spruce]

iratus will take it away from you

[shell elbow]

Only issue is that some stuff clips so I'll have to work around it

[shell elbow]

Nah he wouldn't dare

[calm fiber]

wanna bet?

[remote spruce]

[shell elbow]

Ya don't have my account so ya can't take my armor

[waxen rose]

The mods can puppet Iratus…

[shell elbow]

Glitches reign supreme!

Still rocking my Noble 6 in Mk.V kit though

[meager linden]

Also, why is PFP not matching your name?
Your name is Iratus, but your PFP is like one eyed bot

[fossil skiff]

Iratus uses that to infiltrate other servers

[shell elbow]

Yk I am tempted to also make a Cross core ODST and maybe some other notable Spartans

[waxen rose]

He lures them into a false sense of security I bet

[fossil skiff]

You think it’s a discord bot but no, it’s a Banished AI that woke up on the wrong side of the bed

[shell elbow]

Ah glitches are so amazing

[waxen rose]

Headless spartan glitch, do it now

[shell elbow]

I could but.... Nah

[waxen rose]

It was worth a shot💔

[shell elbow]

I can however, customize the new kit in the Last Stand pass

Just got to figure out how to use parts of it on other cores just not replace stuff on the kit itself

[waxen rose]

I think it was a bad idea for me to drink half a cup of coffee at 10 pm knowing I have college tmr

[shell elbow]

Ya think?

[waxen rose]

I had a craving 💔

[waxen rose]

Mr. Hacker or smthn idk

[shell elbow]

Lol, tbh I do think it is interesting how the glitch works

And it's not as hard as you may think

[waxen rose]

Is it pc only?

[calm fiber]

I allow the glitches to happen. You’re welcome.

[waxen rose]

Fear...

[drowsy needle]

hi

[shell elbow]

Nope

I did this on Xbox

Basically it involves equipping the core you want to modify, then going to another core and previewing an item, then enter your social tab, then exit it and quickly equip the equipment at the same time

It essentially copy/pastes the equipped core onto the new core and keeps the previewed item

[waxen rose]

Thx to this im entering my ‘diabolical chief’ era

[shell elbow]

Uh oh lol

[waxen rose]

Master evil-doer

[shell elbow]

Banished Master Chief

[waxen rose]

Master Chief if he participated in glitches (with armor cores)

[shell elbow]

The only issue is actually keeping the cross core, because when you leave the armory it just fixes the glitch, trying to find a way around this currently

Well that, and you can only use cross core for one piece of armor

But it's still better than nothing

[waxen rose]

Right

[floral pollen]

Its because it's only a visual bug
Once the model is reset, it goes back to default
There's no way around it

[shell elbow]

Once I get around these issues though, I shall spread this glitch everywhere!

[shell elbow]

Noooooo

[waxen rose]

Wow I just realized were in two mutual servers: cool

[remote spruce]

which ones?

[waxen rose]

The Halo Archive

[open river]

that coating has never been available, i want it too
theyre teasing us with it in the armour hall

[remote spruce]

would you buy it

[open river]

depends on price

id consider up till 400cr

[remote spruce]

whats the limit for you?

[meager linden]

What does it ever look like?

[remote spruce]

ah ok

[meager linden]

Never heard

[open river]

crazy they have singular coatings in the shop for 800-1000 cr

[shell elbow]

Guys I really wish we could have custom Spartans in campaign

[waxen rose]

Im also curious dawg💔

[shell elbow]

So many cool designs

[remote spruce]

thats what im saying. at most itll be 10 bucks

[open river]

look it up on cylix.guide

[lilac pumice]

I miss old halo

[remote spruce]

same i miss halo 5

[lilac pumice]

Ew

[remote spruce]

that too new?

[lilac pumice]

Halo 5? That game is so bad

[shell elbow]

No it just sucks

[remote spruce]

ok ok

[waxen rose]

Halo 5 is technically old

[lilac pumice]

But i respect your opinion clash

[remote spruce]

wow its really been 10 years

[open river]

nearly a decade old

[lilac pumice]

Damn really?

[waxen rose]

Old halo is halo 5, sorry

[shell elbow]

I feel old now

[waxen rose]

Were all getting up there sooner or later

[remote spruce]

i dont want to be old

[shell elbow]

True

[remote spruce]

it sucks physically and mentally

[waxen rose]

Me neither, I enjoy having my medicine paid for by the state

Once I hit 18 though…

[floral pollen]

I was born just before the OG Halo Wars and H3 ODST released

[waxen rose]

I was born aa year after halo 3💔

The GOAT shall return in a fan made series

Six is just in a cave lol

[waxen rose]

Noble six is still alive in my delusional heart

[shell elbow]

I mean they might bring him back, they brought back James and maybe Jorge

[waxen rose]

Bringing back… jorge? I dont think hes coming back from getting ripped apart atom by atom in that explosion

[shell elbow]

Oh you don't know do you?

[waxen rose]

No..

[shell elbow]

There's a coating from the Tenri event or whatever it was called I don't really remember, which implies Jorge got Isekaied into that universe

Bro is just a Samurai now lol

[floral pollen]

Noble Court I wanna say is the coating name

[waxen rose]

The halo universe omnipresent force reincarnated Jorge is crazy work 😭

[shell elbow]

Yeah, so honestly I would not be surprised if they brought back Noble 6 considering they've recently been bringing back a lot of guys who died on Reach

[shell elbow]

Lmao, hey at least we can take comfort in the fact that he didn't bite the dust, though that does make his "death" less impactful

[waxen rose]

Right like lets not ruin a good characters death by making it absolutely useless

[shell elbow]

Since yeah, we still probably won't have him back, but he's not dead either

[waxen rose]

Unless we use the ‘different universe’ excuse or smthn

[shell elbow]

Bro I am betting they will bring back 6

Such a golden opportunity to milk the fans and I wouldn't complain

[waxen rose]

Halo multidimensional travel subplot to get six 🤦‍♂️

[shell elbow]

Or he just survived in a cave

Make the meme cannon RAAAAAH

[waxen rose]

She’s crazy good at surviving, dang 💔

[shell elbow]

I guess they weren't lying when they said Spartans never die, they just go MIA

[waxen rose]

That quote is so corny im sorry😭

[shell elbow]

It really is but it seems more and more like it isn't wrong lol

Especially for Spartans who died on Reach

Hell if they bring back Six and somehow have Jorge return from the Samurai universe then have them reunite with Jun and Rosenda we could literally have Noble Team back

Imagine if they made a game specifically about finding and reuniting Noble Team, it'd be weird but could be really good if they cook it well

[waxen rose]

Emile is over rated
Carter is where the real ones are at

[shell elbow]

And both are dead 😭

[waxen rose]

YEAH LOL

They did Kat dirty im still salty about that, they killed the girlboss

[shell elbow]

Like why bring back Jorge? They easily could've just brought back Carter by saying he jumped out of the Pelican when it hit the Scarab or something

[waxen rose]

Its coming out a year early full of bugs

[shell elbow]

"Where does he get off calling a demolition op priority one-" Needle round proceeds to end Kat's whole career

[waxen rose]

HELP

[shell elbow]

Lmao why is this so true lmao

[shell elbow]

Nooooooo the Jackal snipers have returned run!!!!

[serene tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-infinite-spartan-haunted-skull-flame-gif-23417135

Fourth wall break right there if I’ve ever seen one

[shell elbow]

Yo guys they should definitely make this cannon https://youtu.be/E5_ynsjwd48?si=e6jCMp97ufLMm-3d

[waxen rose]

I want jackals to go back to the hole they crawled from ong

[shell elbow]

SODAZ is the GOAT

[shell elbow]

Nah we should burn them all, fire the holy rings

[waxen rose]

We’d be ending the human race aswell and all the dogs and cats

[shell elbow]

Dang

Btw I was just thinking, since there is a flood infected Spartan out there, doesn't that mean at some point they will return...?

[waxen rose]

Destroy their homeplanet like cortana did wth the elites or smthn😭

[waxen rose]

They could but haven't yet. My dream is to get a boss fight between a flood-infected spartan

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/bDEq5.gif

[shell elbow]

Well it's definitely something they can do now with a Flood infected SPARTAN on a SLIPSPACE CAPABLE CONDOR

[hasty zinc]

RIP Dosiac

banished yeah

[waxen rose]

Yeah I forgot the name my bad first thought was elites

[meager linden]

Nah, Sangheilios still exist, unlike Doisac

[waxen rose]

Who's telling the arbiter...

[shell elbow]

Also, since there are some surviving precursors, and the consciousness of the gravemind is just the primordial, they should definitely have a story with them arguing with each other over different philosophies

[serene tartan]

Da mans!
This is so cool!

[shell elbow]

It also makes ask... WHY DIDN'T THE PRECURSORS HELP HUMANITY AGAINST THE COVENANT OR FLOOD

[serene tartan]

THEY WANTED IT TO HAPPEN

[shell elbow]

Well duh it's epic

[waxen rose]

Evil doers…

[serene tartan]

not so fast

[shell elbow]

Nah man they were all individuals so at least ONE should have been like "Hey, shouldn't we help out our chosen inheritors of the mantel against these crazy aliens and that one psycho we locked in a stasis pod who became the gravemind?"

[serene tartan]

They really just Fock with life over countless incarnations. They just make it, let it play out, let it die and make it again. This time we just happen to coming close to knowing them

[shell elbow]

Yeah but now they are in a situation completely different than they have ever been in before and their chosen species is getting wrecked by aliens and one of their own who went insane

And began interfering when he shouldn't have

[waxen rose]

Ngl precursors are ugly

[shell elbow]

Lmfao they are literally ugly space crab gods

[waxen rose]

Must be burned💖

[serene tartan]

Like hell. The flood id the mantle’s test or whatever you want me to call it. It’s rampancy and it’s madness to its logical and illogical conclusion.

It’s the best they could do, fake digital game gods as they are

[shell elbow]

But that's just one interpretation of it, the precursors were made up of individuals, couldn't one of them have just Thanos snapped the flood and Covenant out of existence?

Unless they were all a bunch of cowards

[hasty zinc]

the precursors and covenant did not exist at the same time

[serene tartan]

Nah. They’re corporeal, limited entities. They had tools and culture. There just super sentient, like something from Star Trek

[waxen rose]

Bright glowing ring known as the Einstein Ring discovered in space.… the Halo rings are real trust me

[shell elbow]

Incorrect

There are survivors left in recent books

[hasty zinc]

oh the babies?

[serene tartan]

So not ultimately powerful gods like we think of Gods

[shell elbow]

No, the ones on Netherop

They literally have just been chilling there for 100,000 years doing NOTHING

[serene tartan]

Outcasts and oblivion

Good additions

[waxen rose]

Waiting to be burned by me💖

[shell elbow]

Agreed

[serene tartan]

Read it, then bur..no…incinerate it

Never speak of the inner contents of that later novel

[shell elbow]

Ngl now that I think about it, maybe the precursors did intervene but subtlely, like Humanity got seriously lucky a lot, and Chief's main trait was luck, but what if it was actually the precursors manipulating everything all along 😱

[waxen rose]

Luck or crazy plot armor and the precursors were the ones writing the plot the whole time… wow

[shell elbow]

I mean it makes sense, they certainly have the power to do stuff like that

Still I'd like to see them roast the hell out of the Gravemind for going completely against everything they stood for

[waxen rose]

They picked a random boy named John Billions of years ago and said “yeah we’re gonna make his life horrible💖”

[shell elbow]

Nah I imagine that they were just manipulating things as they happened, ever so slightly helping humanity

[waxen rose]

Humanity is the favorite child atp smh

[shell elbow]

So true lmao

[waxen rose]

Humanity created vine... Sanghelios didnt. Who really won?

[shell elbow]

Tbh I think it's kinda crazy that there aren't any Forerunners left but there are Precursors left

[floral pollen]

Didact (at least as of H4)

[waxen rose]

Dont the halos keep genetic dna of every creature? Wouldn't that include forerunners

[shell elbow]

I mean ig if you count being in the domain as being alive then all the Forerunners are still alive as of Epitaph

[shell elbow]

Nah they basically purposefully let themselves die out

[waxen rose]

They just wanna be ‘heroic’ like that when it was actually really dumb

[shell elbow]

Tbh they did create the Flood by almost wiping out the Precursors

So they kinda had it coming

[waxen rose]

Forerunners keeping humans like zoo animals and then them getting hit by the Flood was kinda karma

[shell elbow]

Yeah honestly the Forerunners kinda were just jerks lol

[waxen rose]

That's what happens when you look like Voldemort

[glass crest]

Lord moldy butt...whenever I hear that name most of the stuff breaks in half thanks billy and mandy

[idle plume]

I mean roasting forerunner planets without an explaination is kinda on the ancestors fault too

[silk beacon]

'Sup.

[serene tartan]

Ok I hope you’re still here. It’s practically clear that the Assembly guided humanity for hundreds of years, maybe longer, seeing as the Ancestors had AI

[clear hamlet]

Them just sitting on their hands means they don’t care about the imbalance of Living Time doesn’t it

[boreal lark]

hi gamers, i was just wondering how alive halo infinite is?

i want to get back into it, but am wondering about queue times n more

i have the game on steam

[floral pollen]

Pretty active, at least in my experience
Depending on the times you play it should be under a minute in most modes to find a match (might be a bit over around now ish, since it's 2 AM ish in North America, so most are asleep)

[boreal lark]

thank u!

[floral pollen]

Np

[empty sable]

Right now it feels dead for fiesta firefight.

Would be nice if you could view the active players for each mode.

[open river]

i love having an endless loading screen

KICKED FOR INACTIVITY BAHAHAHAH

[empty sable]

Been here for a while

Long search times then you are stuck on an infinite loading screen

[jade gust]

anyone else stuck on the loading screen of infinite since the new update?

[idle plume]

You need to shout “I love Poland” at your screen for it to work

[gaunt saddle]

is it just me or have i been disconnecting from matches more often than usual

literally yesterday i had disconnected from more matches than actually completing them

[drowsy coyote]

What does he mean by this

[frosty siren]

Well try it and see of it works

[haughty wraith]

yeah it's been taking a second

[crystal glade]

2025

[supple knot]

guess ill leave the game on for an hour

[trim saddle]

Happy Friday Spartans!

[haughty wraith]

yeah, they aren't too keen on fixing their game

try restarting it a few times, waiting, or restarting your xbox

[meager linden]

Good cold evening people of Halo
How it's going?

[fickle drift]

Pretty good going on a road trip

Wbu

I play Master Chief Collection. Usually queue 3 and Reach or just 3. I wish I could queue any game size and game mode. Just give me Halo, any Halo. A random mode. How cool would that be? is this is a good place to leave feedback for 343i?

[trim saddle]

You could just select all games and gametypes.

[fickle drift]

Can I?!?!?!

[analog knot]

No. They are misunderstanding your feedback.

You want to be able to queue for 4v4 and 8v8 at the same time. Thats not possible. Its been suggested for many years 🙂

[fickle drift]

That is exactly what I am asking. Why is that not possible? The way the game server networking works?

[analog knot]

Its not possible in MCC because they didnt design it that way - doesnt mean its technically impossible 😄

[jade gust]

You might have better luck asking that question in #lore-and-universe

[trim saddle]

Oh I thought that was possible, my apologies.

[normal owl]

Lore discussion occurs in #lore-and-universe

[jade gust]

(Am I the only confused as to why they deleted the message?)

[normal owl]

Likely to be courteous and migrate the content to the other channel. It's appreciated!

[frigid flume]

Guys can someone help me? Ive been trying to play multiplayer on halo MCC, but for some reason it kept showing "multiplayer not allowed" and kept telling me about Xbox family settings but my settings are all allowed on multiplayer Can Someones Help? Thanks IM On Steam

[fickle drift]

Flint and steel

[jade gust]

Fair point

[jade gust]

Might be worth making a thread in #1075989764026675210

[frigid flume]

Will do thanks

[last wolf]

Anyone know when the next Halo game is?

[fickle drift]

Sometime after today.

[jade gust]

And before the sun consumes the Earth

[last wolf]

Really??? Who knew except for that guy above...

[hoary locust]

I can only find a game of mutilator madness currently 👎

[last wolf]

Anyone here playing on Xbox Series S? Can you tell me if the performance is till good?

[shell elbow]

Yo guys, do you think at some point we may get Spartan Ops or maybe campaign dlc? Probably never but is it even a possibility? It'd definitely bring back an insane amount of people

[granite sky]

never. maybe more forge campaign missions tho

[trim saddle]

Forge artists are fantastic people.

they do wonderful things.

[shell elbow]

True, if only we could have cutscenes in forge

And custom bosses

[shell elbow]

True, they did make the Academy Firefight that got added to playlists

Still though the original campaign plans for Infinite were GOATED

Still mad they didn't add them in later

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[shell elbow]

My question is why won't Microsoft find Infinite? It could make so much money if they added what fans wanted which they, admittedly, have started doing

[trim saddle]

I feel the time for that has passed and theyre working on newer things.

[shell elbow]

I mean maybe, but I think they could still try

Microsoft has more than enough money to fund it that's for sure

[obsidian wyvern]

it's over for infinite, it's the next game now

[trim saddle]

its just not worth it to them, to us yes.

[obsidian wyvern]

put that into the next game

[shell elbow]

That probably won't release for like 5 years

[obsidian wyvern]

tbh nothing is bringing back as many players as we want to infinite

just make the next game good please

[shell elbow]

Infinite is good, but it could be so much better, and I want it to be even better

[normal owl]

Exactly: when are we finally getting our Star Wars, NFL, and Netflix-Show-of-the-Moment crossovers?

[trim saddle]

Until then we can enjoy a lot of other things. No sense in dwelling on the "what ifs" when you can enjoy the current.

[obsidian wyvern]

it took too long for infinite to get to where it is, thats why the playercount is so low

[trim saddle]

at least for what we have to entertain ourselves.

[shell elbow]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not

[normal owl]

It's what the purchasing consumers want, by the data borne out by big f2p live-service games' offerings. I supposed we did get Desert Tea as our Book of Boba Fett crossover.

[obsidian wyvern]

wow mcc is played more than infinite on xbox, in europe atm

[normal owl]

Also, when's the Kendrick Lamar kit?

[obsidian wyvern]

and in the us, both infinite and mcc are top 50 but mcc is only behind by 2 places lol

[normal owl]

We did get a smattering of web articles saying "Halo Infinite got a new update and it's got good stuff!" so maybe that helped with a bump.

[obsidian wyvern]

then steams mcc numbers are generally higher, i think it actually is the more played game at this point

well, games tbf

[shell elbow]

I mean if the players of Infinite want it, ig it makes sense to add it, as it'll make more money

Which can then be used to fund more narrative stuff, like maybe bringing back Spartan Ops using a revived multiplayer narrative?

[jade gust]

Give me Spartan Ops 2.0 in Halo 7 or whatever it's called, I don't think it'd do anything for Infinite at this point

[normal owl]

Would love that. Their internal data obviously shows that players have been enjoying the cooperative content since they made the effort to release Academy Firefight.

[trim saddle]

i cant wait until the fiesta version of Academy FF

[shell elbow]

Which is why I think it'd make sense to add that all in

[trim saddle]

and more XP from that playlist

[empty sable]

The xp gain from the Academy playlist is terrible.

What do you get 300-600? I get 5000-5500 from Fiesta.

[trim saddle]

it does seem like they didnt intend for it to be that low

[empty sable]

Its also longer than a Fiesta match, at least from what I've played.

[trim saddle]

I wish I could bring in my xbox to work and play it.

[jade gust]

Like, I enjoy the two linear experiences we have gotten in Infinite this week, but it's still got the limitations of Forge holding them back. Which isn't intended to be an insult towards them, it's just a simple case of proper dev made linear experiences having an extra layer of polish which you can't quite get to in Forge

[trim saddle]

cant even use cloudplay 🥹

[empty sable]

I would have liked it if firefight had a loadout select, similar to reach.

[jade gust]

We need custom loadouts for PvE in the next game

[empty sable]

Aye. I hate the avenger with a passion.

I've always been more into precision weapons.

[jade gust]

Heck, I will keep harping on about this but give me the ability to customise the attachments I have on my guns in PvE

Let me run a tactical stealth BR and SMG in campaign

[empty sable]

Dual wield as well.

That hasn't been seen for 18 years.

[jade gust]

It would need to be properly figured out, Bungie never quite got it right. Though I think Halo 2 ironically enough had a better idea. Hate the damage nerf in Halo 3 when you dual wield

But also, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't return

[empty sable]

It would be funny if they introduced prone to halo

[dry lintel]

is the AR/Avenger loadout on legendary firefight designed to make me crash out

It’s so bad

[empty sable]

Battle Rifle all the way for me.

[dry lintel]

Like at least spawn me with a sidekick

[jade gust]

Some of you just don't understand a good SMG (I wish we had the launch M20 from Halo 5 instead but the Avenger is fine)

[empty sable]

I die inside when I spawn in with an Avenger or Plasma Pistol

[trim saddle]

but everything is a bullet sponge, precision would help you.

[empty sable]

I've never been into SMGs or high fire rate weapons.

[trim saddle]

they want you to struggle

[jade gust]

SMGs have always been my style

[empty sable]

My preference falls within medium-long range.

[dry lintel]

The avenger is actually useless on legendary

[empty sable]

The avenger is like a nerf gun at Hill 5 lol.

Grunts looking at me like: And what mate? Hit me again I dare you!

[trim saddle]

hey i have that coating, and i didnt need to buy it from the exchange lol

[empty sable]

I got it from the nerf gun when it released lol

Got it for my birthday with the Halo Infinite Xbox Series X edition

Arrived on November 15th 2021 on release day.

[trim saddle]

i left work early because my series X was on my porch and i didnt want people making it disappear.

[empty sable]

Lol. All the scalpers brought the Infinite Xbox Series X online so my dad walked into a GAME store and they literally had it locally in stock. So he got it.

Scalpers can't scalp local stock intended for physical purchases.

[dry lintel]

I found a single series x at target back when you couldn’t find them, had to buy it on the spot

[trim saddle]

I lucked out and grabbed one online.

[normal owl]

I got mine back when it was $500.

[trim saddle]

guy at work got a series x and a s

[empty sable]

The design isn't too bad with the stars and the grey style.

Is it not £449?

[dry lintel]

I don’t think I’ll ever pay more than 500 for a console

[trim saddle]

if I knew how to take it apart without breaking something, if paint mine like i used to customize the OG xbox.

I still want a clear green series X.

[normal owl]

Scalpers got all the Infinite XSX near me, so I found an OEM Infinite controller faceplate on eBay and swapped out a stock black controller. Now it's the same. 🥲

[jade gust]

I miss when we got clear coloured plastics for tech

Oh I loved the master chief controller but as with all elite controllers, the bloody bumper got worn out

[trim saddle]

I almost ordered a clear green elite series 2 controller

[dry lintel]

I mean thats the real way to do it honestly. Better than letting consumerism FOMO get to you

[empty sable]

So I have the elite 2 master chief controller charm lol

If only Infinite released with all the content it has now.

[meager linden]

That's the custom PC parts somehow working

[normal owl]

So far, no one has come over to my house and said "Hey! That's not the actual OEM Infinite edition Xbox controller! Caught you!" But it's only a matter of time.

[hasty zinc]

omw

[dry lintel]

now we know 😈

[trim saddle]

its really up to you to utilize what you have and get enjoyment out of it, forget everyone else.

[trim saddle]

Im closer, I got this.

[normal owl]

omg i'm so embarrassed

[empty sable]

I hate FOMO.

I prefer it when you can access something indefinitely.

[trim saddle]

lol

[dry lintel]

but then its not specialllll

[meager linden]

Yeah, shame

[trim saddle]

lmao, even.

[empty sable]

I praise fortnite for ending the lootbox trend but I am annoyed that it's now created FOMO. Lesser of two evils I guess.

[jade gust]

I missed out on the free Hatsune Miku skin in Fortnite but alas, I was distracted by other things (Like the horrorsTM)

[empty sable]

Love it when they put collab skins in the BP and you can never access it again.

[trim saddle]

FOMO pushed me to grab Chief in FN, and now thats the only skin ive ever bought and use.

[empty sable]

Want superman? Too bad should have played 4 years ago

[jade gust]

Same here

[dry lintel]

I think its impressive how Fortnite drives people to play the game just to unlock characters and then continue to not play the game

[jade gust]

I imagine they'll be doing a collab for the film coming in July

[fickle drift]

I got that

[empty sable]

Lol when Chief released in FN, I didn't even play fortnite but I just installed the game and brought it lol

[meager linden]

I am the only one who didn't fall to Fortnite gaming?

[trim saddle]

Ive been playing a lot lately, I run Duos no build with my GF and we get top 5 every time. Not many wins but its still fun as heck.

[fickle drift]

Probably

[meager linden]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[trim saddle]

no build was a game changer for FN because i just -cant- build.

[jade gust]

Fortnite comes for us all...

[dry lintel]

I got really turned off of fortnite when they started filling the matches with bots

[empty sable]

Oh... I only play bot lobbies.

[dry lintel]

nothing wrong with that

I just want to play against actual players

[trim saddle]

it helps honestly because youre still having fun with the game.

[empty sable]

Zero build if I have to play pvp with friends.

Though I prefer creative and the lego modes.

[fickle drift]

Once they added I started playing it more

[meager linden]

Those players, who played from the start:🗿

[dry lintel]

no build was a genius move, surprised it wasnt added in earlier

[thorny briar]

Why does the strength of the UNSC seem to vary so much

[empty sable]

Hated it when you'd go to shoot someone and then all of a sudden a bloody castle appeared in front of you.

[jade gust]

Plot

[empty sable]

Idk as far as I am aware the UNSC gets clapped by the covenant everytime unless some green guy is around.

[trim saddle]

plot armor does exist.

MIRA its the mark 5!

[jade gust]

Also the Halo games would just be terrible if the UNSC got wiped completely by the Covenant in every engagement

[dry lintel]

week one player 😎

[thorny briar]

They usually do

[empty sable]

Lol. Book Accurate Chief is basically playing on easy mode.

Though a Halo game campaign where you play as a Marine would be cool.

[jade gust]

How bad are you playing?!

[meager linden]

Ain't Chief has been almost killed by a single brute?

[jade gust]

ODST

[empty sable]

Thats a special marine.

I mean a normal marine who is basically a nobody.

[thorny briar]

What? No in the story

[empty sable]

Nobody else shoots all the marines for laughs and giggles?

[thorny briar]

I went maybe nearly a decade after beating halo CE thinking chief was the last human alive until I got into infinite lmao

[jade gust]

Chief definitely was never the last human alive

[empty sable]

Bruh, played Halo CE and didn't play any other Halo Game.

Chief is just drifting in Space in a Space Ship while some blue lady calls him Stud Muffin.

[thorny briar]

How was I supposed to know that

[empty sable]

Oh wait, this ending sounds familiar.

[jade gust]

Play Halo 2

[thorny briar]

That costs money

[empty sable]

Gamepass for the W

[jade gust]

Like, humanity is very prominant in all the Halo games

[meager linden]

Earlier blue, than purple
And on infinite again blue

[jade gust]

Like, you quite literally cannot avoid bumping into other humans while playing Halo

[thorny briar]

Didn’t feel like it in CE

[jade gust]

Marines

Those are all humans, same with Keyes

[thorny briar]

They always end up dying and there’s literally none in the last levels

[empty sable]

CE was purple, Halo 2, Purple, Halo 3, Blue, Halo Reach blue? Halo CE Anniversary Blue, Halo 4 Blue, Halo 2 Anniversary Blue, Halo 5 Blue, Halo Infinite Purple

[hasty zinc]

you forgot about green

[shell elbow]

Guys I seriously think they should revive the multiplayer narrative

[empty sable]

Green was silent cartogether right?

[shell elbow]

And use forge maps for Spartan Ops and have cross core

[empty sable]

Or Assault on the control room?

[jade gust]

In the extremely brief appearance Cortana has in Reach, she was purple

[meager linden]

Yes, but sometimes it just takes lots of money if you don't use it fully(game pass)
I spent 2 years on gamepass, I already owned games that I want to play, even twice

[empty sable]

Its interesting how they keep changing her colour. Is it like a toggle she has? Black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow, ooh yellow and black.

[meager linden]

Some weeks before I finally cancelled my game pass subscription

[jade gust]

Ok, that's just a case of the AI controlling the marines in CE not being great. That doesn't change the fact that humanity is featured in all the Halo games

[empty sable]

Considering, they are raising prices for games in general, if they keep gamepass the same price then it'll be more value for money.

[hasty zinc]

I think she was pink in a book too

[empty sable]

Can't wait for her next appearence where she is yellow.

[obsidian wyvern]

shes supposed to be dead pls

[hasty zinc]

she can choose whatever color/appearance she wants

[empty sable]

Cortana's got more armour coating than us.

She was supposed to be dead in Halo 4. But Halo 5 decided to go with the whole "Guess who's back, back again"

[meager linden]

Also, my first Halo book "Empty Throne" will arrive soon
Should be in the next 2 weeks

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but maybe they should keep it that way for once

[hasty zinc]

eh, the cortana we knew did die in 4

[candid solar]

And thousands of Halo fans missed the point of that and screeched 'character assassination!' like they got the character

[dry lintel]

i think they should have made cortana red in halo 5, a small easter egg that she is actually EVIL

[hasty zinc]

she kinda came back in Infinite, but for the most part she's gone

[candid solar]

Same as it ever was.

[empty sable]

Came back in 5 and decided to go full blown crazy.

[candid solar]

She was always crazy.

[meager linden]

Just dust and echoes

[empty sable]

You come to infinite and shes dead. Like bruh.

[shell elbow]

Yeah but not as crazy

[candid solar]

Well, that's what happens when you make poor story decisions and harass the prior writer into leaving.

[normal owl]

She achieved her final form:

[candid solar]

Don't want stories to get cut off abruptly, stop harassing writers.

[hasty zinc]

oh my!

[empty sable]

Bruh.

Never liked transparant controllers.

[jade gust]

At least she isn't being turned into a gun

[shell elbow]

It's perfect

[normal owl]

The final cruelest irony: we the gamers can hold her in our hands...but John cannot.

[candid solar]

Well, at least my controller won't go rampant.

[empty sable]

If you are stupid and eat whilst using a controller you'll see all sorts of stuff in there

[obsidian wyvern]

pinning a bad story on the fans is funny

[shell elbow]

DAYUM

[dry lintel]

they turned cartuna into a roller 😭

[thorny briar]

They put the master chief in the soda

[candid solar]

Yes, I will absolutely blame people for their crappy behavior.

[empty sable]

Cortana was never the same once she became an xbox controller, worst form of abuse. The Gamer's wrath.

[pearl laurel]

What are we arguing about now

[empty sable]

Argument? Where?

[candid solar]

It seems like a bad idea to not hold fanbases accountable for their bad behavior

[normal owl]

yet

[dry lintel]

I mean if the majority of fans think a story is bad, it probably is bad

[candid solar]

That's a logical fallacy.

[pearl laurel]

Good morning gang

[dry lintel]

you're a logical fallacy

[thorny briar]

➡️ 🥤

[candid solar]

No, I'm a bird on the internet.

[empty sable]

If I have to read the book to understand the plot of Halo 5, then the game's story is clearly bad.

[last wolf]

Anyone ever think that the UNSC will end up using the Unggoy? (Grunts). They'd be excellent cannon fodder.

[pearl laurel]

Master Chief in the soder

[jade gust]

I looked away for 3 seconds, what's going on?

[empty sable]

Shouldn't have to consume extra material to understand the story.

[candid solar]

Nice opinion, what youtuber did you get it from?

[thorny briar]

You didn’t tell me every suit of armour based on an enemy smh

[candid solar]

Hwuh

[empty sable]

War!

[obsidian wyvern]

343 choosing to just dump the story is their problem 🤷‍♂️
sure that was because they listened too much to some of their fanbase, but that was their choice

[pearl laurel]

Chat is getting glassed today

[normal owl]

I second that, a/k/a Two War!

[dry lintel]

I get all my opinions from act man and hiddenexperia of course (I havent watched them in years pls this is a joke)

[jade gust]

Not really the UNSC style to enslave an entire species for the use as cannon fodder (It's also pretty unethical that the Grunts were used the way they were by the Covenant)

[thorny briar]

You left out the thremaleon

[empty sable]

(Queue revenge of the sith theme)

[candid solar]

I didn't say they were blameless.

[pearl laurel]

Make it a love story

[candid solar]

That's a whole other statement lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

tbf i didnt say you said that 😁

[empty sable]

Oh god, Halo 7 being a romance game.

[pearl laurel]

Idk man, I just wanna see brute weapons again

[dry lintel]

really think a jega romance arc would have improved infinite

[thorny briar]

Mangler.

[jade gust]

Only if Jega's partner is even edgier than he is
