general-chat

[normal owl]

"Share the rock with Sgt Johnson? (a) Yes. (b) No."

[pearl laurel]

It worked with halo 4-5 so

[empty sable]

A

I don't think it worked ngl. Fans seemed pretty annoyed about those two games.

[normal owl]

"Sgt Johnson liked that! Relationship level increased by 3 hearts."

[pearl laurel]

The ones from halo 2-3

[jade gust]

(Am I the only one who viewed Chief and Cortana's relationship more akin to that of siblings than romantic lovers?)

[thorny briar]

Y’all forgot halo 2 was a romance game already?

[pearl laurel]

A

[empty sable]

Halo as a fallout game lol

[candid solar]

... I feel like that one is so obvious that it wasn't worth mentioning.

[dry lintel]

I always viewed it as platonic love, not siblings just pure love for one another

[thorny briar]

Well I didn’t know it existed

[obsidian wyvern]

🤨

[candid solar]

Platonic for Chief, something more complicated for Cortana, is how I always viewed it.

[pearl laurel]

I see it now

[jade gust]

Fair

[empty sable]

Does Cortana even understand the concept of love. I certainly don't and she's not even human.

[pearl laurel]

Chief is a machine

[normal owl]

Have you played Halo 4

[thorny briar]

I always thought chief just wanted to stay quiet for the whole game

[dry lintel]

no never

[candid solar]

One of the central themes of Halo 4 and 5 is that Cortana is a direct brainclone of Doctor Halsey. They directly state this multiple times.

[shell elbow]

Bro they definitely had something going on there

[empty sable]

Cortana about to steal some kids if she didn't die in Halo Infinite lol

[pearl laurel]

I heard 343 say something about Chief being a machine and Cortana being more human

[obsidian wyvern]

delusional

[normal owl]

i'm sayin!!

[empty sable]

Time to start the real Spartan program!

[pearl laurel]

Something like that,

[candid solar]

... I get this is a joke, but I'm actually mildly annoyed because trying to prevent anything like that from ever happening again is literally why she started the Created uprising.

[pearl laurel]

Let’s give everyone Dateable ai’s

[thorny briar]

Is doctor halsey supposed to be a bad guy

[dry lintel]

dudes falling in love with AIs...halo 4 really was ahead of its time

[candid solar]

Which, again, is outright stated in Halo 5. Directly.

[thorny briar]

Iratus

[candid solar]

Don't forget AI falling into hallucinating, insane logic spirals.

[thorny briar]

Cortana jumpscare

[empty sable]

The difference between Halo 4 Cortana and Halo 5 Cortana in terms of art style lol.

Absolute massacure.

[candid solar]

... Is literally made to differentiate someone at two different stages of philosophy and thought.

[dry lintel]

the ending of halo 4 should have been Chief running out of coins to redeem more messages from Cortana

[pearl laurel]

Halo 5 wasn’t bad

[candid solar]

Do you want me to explain the importance of symbology in storytelling?

[thorny briar]

What game is the didact in

[trim saddle]

Not a bad game, just not a good halo.

[empty sable]

You are taking this way too seriously

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 2

[dry lintel]

halo recruit

[pearl laurel]

Come on stop following the crowd, halo 5 had good multiplayer

[normal owl]

Preemptive reminder to keep it both respectful and welcoming.

[candid solar]

South Park is not a guide to how to treat media, dude. Sincerity isn't a bad thing.

[empty sable]

Carman?

[fickle drift]

Cartman

[pearl laurel]

Halo 3

[empty sable]

I thought he was in Halo Spartan Assault?

[trim saddle]

I do miss the mantis though.

[dry lintel]

"diiiiiiDAAAACT" - that one elite in the beginning of halo 4

[candid solar]

I'd have loved seeing a more bulked up one in Infinite. Maybe give it a different weapon set and make it more agile.

[pearl laurel]

Mantis and that one vehicle from halo reach

[dry lintel]

forklift? yeah

[empty sable]

Mantis was a fun vehicle to use.

Loved to stomp.

[trim saddle]

fortlift is in infinite though lol

[thorny briar]

Wasp needs more guns

[dry lintel]

can you drive it?

[normal owl]

First time I realized I could crouch to take it into the core rooms in Warzone: blew my mind.

[trim saddle]

yes.

[candid solar]

Every once in a while the recollection that both major Mantis sequences in Halo 5 were Osiris levels pops back into my head like a flashbang grenade.

[empty sable]

Wait you can crouch?

[dry lintel]

wtf how did I not know this

[shell elbow]

Btw guys should we see a living precursor in one of the games?

[empty sable]

Yoooooo

[trim saddle]

they added it a while ago, when that map with the camo hallway in the center dropped.

[dry lintel]

thats like one whole extra point for infinite, now its a 6/10

[empty sable]

Lets add prone to halo lol.

[thorny briar]

No, I killed them all

[dry lintel]

you are blowing my mind rn

[empty sable]

Just see master chief scooting on the floor

[shell elbow]

Nah there's still some alive on Netherop

Would love to see them argue with the Gravemind since he abandoned the Mantle

[candid solar]

Lowkey seething that the Halo 4 Marine armor for Infinite wasn't on Rakshasa or offering a backplate option for Rakshasa.

Because 4/5 Marines have optional back armor.

[sterile fjord]

Good morning, chat

[empty sable]

Afternoon.

[shell elbow]

Morning

[shell elbow]

We need ODST's and Multiplayer narrative with Spartan Ops back

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-friday-gif-8371587034143696958

[obsidian wyvern]

have u not seen forklift 1v1

[shell elbow]

We need new quality content kinda like what they released a few days ago

[empty sable]

Spartan Ops 2 when.

I wanna use a multiplayer spartan in Campaign.

[dry lintel]

I haven't touched the customs since they launched so no

[candid solar]

I do think that the new missions is a good direction, but the reward payout frankly just isn't enough.

It is pitifully small.

[empty sable]

Yea that xp reward is dreadful

[empty sable]

I literally earn 5x more in fiesta.

[shell elbow]

That's why they need a Spartan Ops Multiplayer Narrative

[empty sable]

Though when I get hero, I ain't playing fiesta again. I am sick and tired of grunts grenade spamming me.

[obsidian wyvern]

well forklift ffa

[shell elbow]

Like it wouldn't be too expensive AND they could make loads of money

[empty sable]

Absolute muppets.

[dry lintel]

tears of joy in my eyes rn

[pearl laurel]

Halo needs something scarier than the flood

[shell elbow]

That's simply not possible

[dry lintel]

wym bro the skimmers are sooooo scary

[empty sable]

Honestly, I have not missed the flood. Absolute bullet sponges.

[pearl laurel]

Sniper jackals

[empty sable]

If we have to go back in time, lets go to before the fall of reach.

An FPS game similar to Halo Wars would be cool.

[shell elbow]

Nah I want to see the Forerunner Flood war

[pearl laurel]

Yes

[shell elbow]

I actually like 343's ancient Halo lore

[empty sable]

Now that would actually be interesting.

[empty sable]

A game that is not centred around humans.

Maybe play a grunt in the grunt rebellion?

[pearl laurel]

Agree

[shell elbow]

So much money would be made and so much story potential plus the return of the Flood and Ancient Humans and Forerunners

THE FORERUNNERS HAVE RETURNED

[empty sable]

What ever happened with Offensive Bias?

[normal owl]

I would love that: bring key elements that get multiple fan segments hyped.

[shell elbow]

EXACTLY

[shell elbow]

He just... Exists lol

[empty sable]

Scrapping the barrel.

[obsidian wyvern]

ask for anything but a sequel huh

[shell elbow]

Also we could definitely have some interesting infection game mode stuff

Plus unique weapons and such

Imagine the potential!

[normal owl]

If it takes the complete transplanting of the Halo setting into the Forerunner era in order to use the game to justify why we can have standard modern shooter mechanics and fun passive abilities like wallrunning, I'd be down.

[shell elbow]

Titanfall style mechanics

[normal owl]

the Titanfall 3 spiritual successor

[shell elbow]

Imagine calling down a massive forerunner mech Sentinel

[obsidian wyvern]

i love titanfalls gameplay more than halo but i wouldnt want wallrunning in it

[shell elbow]

Could be an ability integrated into the Forerunner armor

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont want it at all lol

[candid solar]

Well, when you turn on the catch skull they're horrifying.

[normal owl]

Any added mobility and verticality would be great.

[thorny briar]

Oh so the construct in halo CE is the onboard AI for the truth and reconciliation

[dry lintel]

Would it have killed them to add one more endless enemy, and no, the boss doesn’t count

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 5s gameplay being more advanced im fine with, but theres a point where youre going too far with what halo has always been

[dry lintel]

Also why isn’t the harbinger in firefight, cmon

[candid solar]

Technically Skimmers aren't actually the Endless.

[thorny briar]

Hamburger

[shell elbow]

Yeah plus we could also have new cool abilities

Also could probably have cool new Flood enemies

[normal owl]

Would love that: added complexity to gunfights as you now have the added factor of selected abilities to calculate in your in-the-moment predictions.

[shell elbow]

Yeah plus what if there was like Helldivers like system where you call in different kinds of orbital assistance or something

[obsidian wyvern]

people hated that in 4 so i dont see it happening

[shell elbow]

Maybe you could summon a personal sentinel to help

[shell elbow]

That's because it wasn't cooked enough

[obsidian wyvern]

eh

[normal owl]

Yeah, abilities like that which don't totally turn gunfights upside down would be great.

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont know what more they could have done with that system in 4. people just didnt want it

[normal owl]

If it's a choice between Halo decaying slowly but going to its grave true to the way it's always been vs Halo being unrecognizable from before but thriving as an IP, I'll always choose the latter.

[molten pelican]

Honestly was kinda fun in 4

[shell elbow]

Or maybe you could like provide buffs to teammates like perhaps a personal healer sentinel or a watcher as a scout giving you Intel

[empty sable]

Clearly to revive Halo, you gotta add more items to the shop

[shell elbow]

Likewise because at least the story and fun continues and money keeps pouring in so it wouldn't die

[normal owl]

Would freaking love this, and then the armor core system would make sense.

[empty sable]

Bit like classes?

[normal owl]

Yeah a bit: for visual instant tell for the opponent what to expect.

Would be good for telegraphing abilities in the middle of intense PvP sessions.

[empty sable]

Just take Space Marine 2. Make it Halo related. Perfection.

[shell elbow]

YES different kinds of armor systems

[empty sable]

A PvE mode like the SM2 operations mode would be cool for a spartan team.

[shell elbow]

Yeah and you could add unique abilities to each and have cool buffs and nerfs

[empty sable]

Half Life 3?

[normal owl]

like the armor pieces enhance the armor core's base ability? That's an awesome idea.

[meager linden]

Titanfall 2 already has it, but I'm not sure how heavy Spartan will run on vertical position

[shell elbow]

And the story could be interesting and tie in with things like the Domain and the Halo's and we could see iconic characters from the books IN PERSON which would be awesome

[empty sable]

MK IV, Stronger armour plating and more defence against ballistic weapons but weaker against plasma with no shield?

[trim saddle]

like different boots give more speed, longer dodge, wall running.. etc

[normal owl]

yes yes yes!

[empty sable]

Mirage can be the super quick core.

[shell elbow]

Yep, plus if you add armor pieces to that game's shop with premium abilities then guess how much money you could make which would then allow for the game to add more unique things and maybe branch off into the Forerunner-Ancient Human war to expand upon that

[shell elbow]

That would be crazy awesome

[empty sable]

Hero GEN 3 Core can be super OP. Play like book accurate master chief.

[obsidian wyvern]

premium abilities?? are we trolling

[empty sable]

Premium abilities if you spend at least 10000 credits in the shop monthly.

[normal owl]

They'd have to make them all lateral enhancements to avoid P2W but yeah that would add a great layer of incentive to the paid store.

[shell elbow]

Exactly

Also imagine if we could see THE PRIMORDIAL

And what if they added in some fleet battle mechanics or something so we could have our own personal customized ship

[normal owl]

like the SW Battlefront style multi-stage battles where you battle in space but can land and charge enemy core on foot.

[empty sable]

I would love a SW Battlefront styled Halo Game.

All out war and battles.

[shell elbow]

YES

[empty sable]

Imagine a game set on Harvest or something.

[normal owl]

Got me drooling!

[shell elbow]

JOHNSON COULD RETURN

[empty sable]

We truly get to see the rock.

Dwayne Johnson as Sergeant Johnson.

[shell elbow]

And we could have more Spartan II's like Omega Team as well

[shell elbow]

Lmao

[normal owl]

in his tank "The Alcatraz"

[empty sable]

Sergeant Johnson is literally the rock.

[shell elbow]

Nah the Boulder

[normal owl]

well because Alcatraz has a nickname "The Rock"

[shell elbow]

Nah it's a great money maker

[shell elbow]

Oh I didn't think of that, smart

[obsidian wyvern]

its a bad decision

p2w is a never a good choice

[shell elbow]

Maybe we could also also see some unique Covenant Fringe units too

[normal owl]

that's why it'd be lateral enhancements only

[empty sable]

Neither is microtransactions which aren't even micro anymore.

[normal owl]

or just cosmetic alts for existing enhancements

[obsidian wyvern]

selling customisation is better than selling gameplay modifiers

[empty sable]

Shame infinite had no legendary completion reward.

[muted rose]

It does

[normal owl]

as long as it's lateral, it's fine. COD's done this forever and it's been fine.

[shell elbow]

And it would give funding for more stuff

[empty sable]

It doesn't. You get a 100% reward but you can do that with any difficulty.

[obsidian wyvern]

what does lateral enhancements mean

[shell elbow]

Such as more PVE content which people love

[normal owl]

like only stat-changing stuff that identically exists in gameplay-earned armor pieces.

[obsidian wyvern]

u get two for laso

[normal owl]

So nothing new whatsoever in the money store vs battle pass.

[shell elbow]

Maybe Unique Flood forms like the Blightstalker or Juggernaut

[empty sable]

Whats the LASO reward?

[obsidian wyvern]

some stances

[shell elbow]

And flood infected species having different abilities

[empty sable]

Those stances are 100%

[obsidian wyvern]

is it

[normal owl]

e.g. COD does this wholesale via weapon blueprints.

[muted rose]

You also have the highest difficulty completed badge on your profile

[obsidian wyvern]

i swear u got something for legendary or laso

[hasty zinc]

nope

[empty sable]

Nope

[hasty zinc]

just 100%

[obsidian wyvern]

shame

[shell elbow]

Imagine a mission set in a blightland and suddenly you get ambushed by a Blightstalker and then you summon a sentinel to help you or call in an orbital laser strike while running for your life

[empty sable]

I liked how you got the GEN 2 MK VI for halo 4 legendary.

Maybe the GEN 3 could have been legendary and then maybe for Hero you could have had an up to date haunted variant or something?

[shell elbow]

Oh this could be cool for weapons modifications like something out of Tarkov

[empty sable]

Halo 3 recon for hero.

[shell elbow]

Could satisfy those who want more weapon customization

[meager linden]

I wouldn't mind to see in Halo FPV drones

[normal owl]

They'd have to restrict the customizability to maintain the ability of an opponent to see a gun in someone's hand and instantly estimate "they can likely do this and this, they likely will have a hard time doing that and that".

[shell elbow]

True but like adding scopes or silencers or expanded magazines could be cool

[normal owl]

so that someone can see an opponent with a scattershot and approach them reliably without realizing the opponent has slug + long barrel + 2x scope lol

[normal owl]

That would be so freaking cool.

[viral dune]

Energy sword with a silencer

[shell elbow]

Fair lol, also imagine if we got new Sentinels or Prometheans, maybe some new weapons like that energy weapon from Halo Legends

[normal owl]

Man this is so fun to talk about.

[shell elbow]

It is lol

[normal owl]

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

[shell elbow]

Perfect encapsulation of this conversation

[trim saddle]

energy knife, faster run speed but no lunge.

drop all weapons and run super fast, throwing only hands.

[shell elbow]

Imagine if they also had a campaign dlc in that where you contain the endless which could tease them for Halo 7

[viral dune]

That sounds fun bro

[shell elbow]

Or maybe one where you play as an ancient human fighting both the Flood and Forerunners

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/goldeneye-n64-chop-gif-18885833

[shell elbow]

Or energy daggers as a melee upgrade

Like they'd be in your wrists and then they would have different upgrades like electrification, Extra Burning damage, etc etc

[shell elbow]

Bro is throwing hands

[hasty zinc]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjyJhFNq/

[shell elbow]

Also what if we had a Halo Reach 2? Hear me out

[fickle drift]

Hot oj

[obsidian wyvern]

[shell elbow]

You'd play as Jun trying to reunite Noble Team, and you'd go to different locations fighting all sorts of different factions and finding unique stuff, for example going back to Reach and fighting the Banished while trying to find Noble 6, or going to a UNSC planet and fighting the created to rescue Rosenda, or going to the Tenri universe to rescue Jorge and fighting samurai Spartans and elites

[trim saddle]

Nnnnnno.

[shell elbow]

And you'd have abilities you could scavenge and you could upgrade your armor similar to Infinite

[fickle drift]

Trolling used to be subtle, smh.

[shell elbow]

Not trolling, all of them could be/are alive and it'd be really cool

[obsidian wyvern]

there's been like 60 ideas posted here and at most I've been fine with 2

[fickle drift]

If you're genuine that's even more worrying.

[indigo lotus]

Now try the flower pot. Simple saying “Oh no not again!”

[shell elbow]

Jun and Rosenda are alive and Six could be brought back like they brought back James, and Jorge was heavily implied to have been transported to the Tenri universe so he probably is alive

So many opportunities for unique missions and cool stuff

[trim saddle]

i dont know where youre getting your info from.

[obsidian wyvern]

tenri universe????????

[fickle drift]

I missed the part where Jorge became a Samurai, I'd love to read where that was implied

[shell elbow]

A coating

[obsidian wyvern]

bruh

[fickle drift]

Which coating

[shell elbow]

Some Noble Coating

[fickle drift]

Can you pull it up I'm really interested in this

[shell elbow]

Yeah lemme find it rq

Yeah it's Noble Loyalty

So we could rebuild Noble Team and have really cool missions and mechanics and such, maybe bringing back cut Reach weapons like the LMG

[obsidian wyvern]

?? where does this say anything like that

[shell elbow]

Bro doesn't know context clues smh

[fickle drift]

I guess because the palette is Jorge's. That's hilarious.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah he went to the tenrai universe because it has a samurai metaphor

[fickle drift]

Lemme see Shogun Jorge I'd watch that for the stupidity alone.

[shell elbow]

And it says NOBLE and says a "Strange Samurai" arrived in a storm of clashing glass

[obsidian wyvern]

has to be trolling

[shell elbow]

No I'm serious they wouldn't have done this if they weren't hinting that he was alive

[obsidian wyvern]

🥴

[fickle drift]

That aside I'd rather they kill Jun, preferably off-page in a book or something, no spectacle but hard confirmation all the same.
Biggest shame of Reach is that they didn't finish the job.

[waxen rose]

killing a character off screen is so lazy💔

[fickle drift]

Nothing but the best for Jun. 😄

[waxen rose]

LOL

[shell elbow]

Hell nah I want Noble Team BACK

Unlike most people I don't have a problem with bringing characters back after they have been dead or missing for a while

[obsidian wyvern]

its a good thing you arent on the narrative team

[waxen rose]

We need to have an intervention because they're dead... Rotting... In the ground...

[fickle drift]

You a big Star Wars fan by chance

[shell elbow]

Used to be

[obsidian wyvern]

he was jumping with joy when palpatine returned

[shell elbow]

I also am a Marvel Fan and am glad Ironman is likely coming back

[waxen rose]

Oh…

[fickle drift]

Ah yes misery beyond my ability to comprehend.

[waxen rose]

If master chief dies you'll be the first to draft up theories about him coming back

[shell elbow]

I really don't understand what the problem with bringing back characters is, like it's awesome to see them back after a while and brings back some nostalgia

[candid solar]

Jun should get counter-sniped. Because it's ironic.

[shell elbow]

Nah he should be replaced with Jerome

[candid solar]

BTW, did you know that every death in Reach is ironic? It's true.

[shell elbow]

The Chair Man

[candid solar]

@elfin glacier could actually tell you all about this

[shell elbow]

I mean they clearly are fine with bringing back characters which I'm happy about, they've brought back James-005, the Didact, Jorge, etc

So why not bring back Noble Six?

[waxen rose]

Bro who is James they just keep adding names to a list 😭

[fickle drift]

I don't like narrative integrity being sacrificed on the alter of 'damn it'd be cool to see character back'.

It's cowardice, desperate, showcases a lack of faith in your ability to tell a story without them.

[shell elbow]

Hard disagree

[shell elbow]

He's from the Fall of Reach book

Died by having his jetpack explode or malfunction don't quite remember and then he got shot out into space

[obsidian wyvern]

i wouldnt wish you upon any franchise's fans, no matter how much i hate them

[waxen rose]

I aint reading allat /j

[shell elbow]

Yet writers seem to do things like my ideas which makes me happy

Marvel, Star Wars, Halo, etc

[waxen rose]

Ngl thats kinda funny hes just drifting somewhere in space

[fickle drift]

Yeah I mean I'm not saying the quiet part right now but I know you can hear it.

[shell elbow]

Well he was, then they brought him back

In Empty Throne

[fickle drift]

Wanna gauge something, do you think they should bring Johnson back?

[waxen rose]

NOT JOHNSON

[normal owl]

There's a way to bring everyone back and the method has already been discussed and universally beloved: in the upcoming Halo romance game.

[shell elbow]

Yes

[waxen rose]

How much is it my wallet is OUT and READY

[fickle drift]

And you don't think doing so would impact his sacrifice at the end of H3 in any way?

[shell elbow]

We need the legend back and we could say he got healed by some Forerunner Magic

[waxen rose]

Guys we need to bring back guilty spark too if we're bringing Johnson back

[fickle drift]

I mean that did happen right

[shell elbow]

No, because we have not had him for so long, and he went out thinking he would die

[waxen rose]

Yeah but like… a third time

[normal owl]

Are you springing for the I've Waited So Long to Do That Edition??

[shell elbow]

Oh you sweet summer child

[waxen rose]

Im jumping for joy Yippie kiyaying

[fickle drift]

I just, like to think character deaths can be meaningful and their permanence has storytelling potential for other characters and the world.
And maybe undoing that would be a not-so-great thing. Especially if done for shallow reasons.

But anyway.

https://tenor.com/view/peter-mannion-twix-bored-gif-11814128

[shell elbow]

Eh I want them back

I don't like characters staying dead

Hell they brought back the Forerunners and Precursors who were also thought to be gone

[waxen rose]

“I want cortana back” when we have cortana at home

[normal owl]

For the love of The Seven, do not watch Game of Thrones then. You will be devastated.

[shell elbow]

Wasn't planning to really

[waxen rose]

Too much weird family stuff in GoT

[normal owl]

A great show for Seasons 1-6 out of 7.

...then it turned into someone who realized they have to turn in their paper in 20 minutes and they rush to submit it by the deadline.

[shell elbow]

But like you can't say it wouldn't be cool to rebuild Noble Team over time by getting Jun, Rosenda, Six, and Jorge back together and then having an "Avengers...Assemble!" Moment at the end

[waxen rose]

Oh…

[normal owl]

then immediately glassed lol

[shell elbow]

Oh then I may watch it through seasons 1-6

[normal owl]

"Not aga--"

[shell elbow]

Ngl if you failed a QuickTime and the happened it'd be funny

[waxen rose]

Their reanimated corpses coming back but Jorge is missing

[normal owl]

the ultimate homage to H4.

[shell elbow]

Nah Emile, Carter, and Kat stay dead

[jade gust]

I come in and I see someone arguing we should have Noble Team reformed by going to other dimensions to find Jorge?

[shell elbow]

Lol

[jade gust]

All because a coating for Tenrai is themed around Jorge?

[waxen rose]

You're just hating on the best noble characters (besides emile, hes overrated)

[meager linden]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shell elbow]

Nah I think they had satisfying deaths so they should stay dead

[jade gust]

Spartans aren't like the Avengers. They're better than them

[waxen rose]

What is this flip-flopping????

[waxen rose]

No one have goofy looking armor like captain America.… wait

[thorny briar]

I thought kat survived

[obsidian wyvern]

theyre all dead except jun

[jade gust]

Kat got shot in the head

[waxen rose]

No… sadly💔

[shell elbow]

Well see, I actually liked their deaths, I didn't like Jorge's death because it actually made me emotional and I didn't like him dying so early, I didn't like Six dying because he's too much of a badass to die, and Jun and Rosenda never died

[thorny briar]

I could survive that

[jade gust]

Well Kat didn't

[shell elbow]

Emile, Carter, and Kat all had somewhat emotional deaths but they were not too emotional or impactful and it felt like their stories should end where they did

[waxen rose]

Six is a stand in for the player so you dont like that you died womp womp

[jade gust]

Being a badass doesn't make you immune to dying

[shell elbow]

And Jorge and Rosenda and maybe Six

[obsidian wyvern]

six is dead, confirmed by both bungie and 343

[jade gust]

Jorge is dead

[thorny briar]

Whenever halo has a co-op campaign we should pretend the second master chief is six and they’re a super team

[trim saddle]

oh IGN did a nice article on infinite, lets go!

[jade gust]

Confirmed so much they basically made a new version of death, super dead

[shell elbow]

Yeah but he was basically on the level of Chief

[waxen rose]

Rip six, you were such a girlboss

[obsidian wyvern]

idk why im arguing with someone who thinks dead people should be brought back anyway

[trim saddle]

Chief has "luck" tho, clearly 6 didnt.

[jade gust]

Would've preferred this, at least a beam rifle makes more sense to kill her so easily

[shell elbow]

Nah he's in Tenri, they wouldn't hint at it if they didn't intend to have it be the case

[hasty zinc]

he's dead

[jade gust]

In what way do you mean by this? If you mean hyper lethal, all Spartans are hyper lethal

[waxen rose]

Red cortana image wya

[shell elbow]

He literally held off the Covenant for HOURS in lore

[jade gust]

It's a coating used for Yoroi armour with fun flavour text, don't read into it too much

[waxen rose]

This 😭

[fickle drift]

The Hyper-Lethal designation was an old Bungie thing that referred to the meta of Chief and Six being controlled by the player I thought.
And neccessarily decanonised.

[trim saddle]

here i am scrolling through IG finding more 🔥 to add to my spotify playlist.

[jade gust]

Now I'm getting deja vu, pretty sure this exact thing was debunked yesterday

[hasty zinc]

yeah hyper-lethal was a term bungie made up to make you feel better for not playing as Chief in Reach

it's meaningless

[shell elbow]

Nah it's too specific and focused on a character who wouldn't be mentioned if they didn't have a plan for them

[waxen rose]

Master Chief is gonna break the forth wall in the last halo (or just die)/j

[jade gust]

It really isn't all that specific

[hasty zinc]

lol Jorge is dead, he's not coming back

[trim saddle]

its flavor text, they do indeed just have fun with those.

[shell elbow]

It is though

[jade gust]

It doesn't reference Jorge by name or directly reference Jorge's fate, that doesn't sound specific at all

[shell elbow]

He is alive they wouldn't have hinted at it otherwise

[waxen rose]

Ripped-apart in an explosion armor coating

[shell elbow]

Not an explosion, a portal

[jade gust]

And the Fractures stuff isn't likely to be explored in any meaningful way. What we have in Infinite is likely all those universes will ever get

[trim saddle]

🙄

[hasty zinc]

you can make a reference to something to be playful, it doesn't have to mean anything for the lore

[trim saddle]

so whos all enjoying the new update for infinite?

[jade gust]

Like, no Halo Fractures: Tenrai novel is coming to show us Jorge living in a different universe

[shell elbow]

Plus as they always say no one is dead even if you see them die

[fickle drift]

The Mutilator is kinda sick, ngl.

[waxen rose]

Me! Jumping for joy (I've yet to play it)

[shell elbow]

If you mention a major character surviving then yeah it has to be

[fickle drift]

I haven't had enough time to settle into it but early impressions, I really like it.

[jade gust]

I can make more guns yellow! (I have like three which are actually yellow)

[trim saddle]

its on a few FF maps in the power weapon pool for spawns, its pretty neat.

[shell elbow]

This is the same type of argument people are using to say Ironman isn't returning to the MCU

[jade gust]

They always say "No body, no confirmed death" not "no one is dead even if you see them die"

[trim saddle]

my needler is gold and shock rifle pink.

[waxen rose]

Halo Muntiverses need to stay in a pandoras box never to be opened please

[shell elbow]

Well we didn't see Jorge's body

[hasty zinc]

I wouldn't even classify him as a major character. He was a member of a team in a spinoff game who died halfway through

[shell elbow]

Uh he is absolutely a major character

[hasty zinc]

eh, I don't see him as one, but that's fine

[jade gust]

He blew up thanks to a slipspace bomb. Not much left of him to recover, just dust and echos

[shell elbow]

So is the Rookie and the rest of Apla Nine

[jade gust]

Rookie was barely a character

[shell elbow]

Which means there is always a way to bring him back, which they may have through the coating

[waxen rose]

Ripped atom by atom he aint coming back from that LOL

[shell elbow]

I REFUSE to believe he and Six are dead or at least that Jorge is dead

[jade gust]

Bring back what? His atoms? Good luck

[waxen rose]

Delusions

[hasty zinc]

well good thing I go by what they actually say

[shell elbow]

No he was teleported, it was a SLIPSPACE drive

[waxen rose]

That malfunctioned

[fickle drift]

So all of the Covenant that slipped through with him just let him live aye

[jade gust]

Like, at least when Shepard died in Mass Effect 2, there was a body to recover. With Jorge, there is nothing left of his body to recover

[fickle drift]

Since a third of a Supercarrier went through as well

[shell elbow]

He'd probably kill them all he's a Spartan 2

[hasty zinc]

lol

[waxen rose]

Jorge is cool but… I mean. Not master chief level lucky

[obsidian wyvern]

I am interested in this users age bracket

[jade gust]

Spartan IIs are impressive soldiers, but not "Survived their body being torn apart on a molecular level" impressive

[fickle drift]

This makes me concerned about how I write things genuinely, like at what point do I convey that someone is actually deceased

[shell elbow]

No it was just mounted "improperly" in order to send the section of the ship somewhere far away

[normal owl]

Jorge came back as the saxophone player in ODST. Read the books, people!

[waxen rose]

You're so right im sorry 😭

[jade gust]

Nah, that was Forge

[shell elbow]

Man what is everyone's problem with bringing characters back?

[waxen rose]

I want their deaths to mean something

[fickle drift]

I've stated it a few times already.

[normal owl]

I thought Forge was the piano player. I stand humbled.

[pliant hatch]

so he's possible alive in a different dimension that no one will ever be able to recover him. So dead.

[shell elbow]

Screw that I want them to still be around

[waxen rose]

Nightmare blunt rotation

[jade gust]

Nah, Forge was terrible as a pianist

[fickle drift]

D'you know what moment is underappreciated, Serina's goodbye message that opens HW2.
That was a respectful sendoff to the character, and in keeping with what we know about AI lifespans.

[jade gust]

Aye

[normal owl]

that actually tracks.

[shell elbow]

Could just find a way into it

[hasty zinc]

that's inviting a nightmare or awakening one 😏

[waxen rose]

Halo multiverses are the one thing I will not stand by

[pliant hatch]

we mahvel now

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/high-five-gif-16062267483909963763

[fickle drift]

'But what if Chief found a super secret time machine the Endless made on the ring...a-and he went back and stopped the war early and saved everyone' 🤮

[shell elbow]

Well I like multiverses because that means there are Infinite opportunities

[hasty zinc]

ayy, he said the word!

[normal owl]

"and then he woke up and it was all a dream".

[jade gust]

Death without people staying dead in a series as long as Halo is not good. It's part of why so many people disliked Cortana's return in Halo 5, her return was too soon after we lost her at the end of Halo 4. Doing the same with more characters for the sake of having them round is just a terrible plan and would reek of desperation and nostalgia pandering

[waxen rose]

Cortana is becoming dr strange... Ew

[fickle drift]

Cortana was just the nurse that did his daily medication checks lmao

[normal owl]

literally guffawed out loud

[shell elbow]

They did do it to more characters though? Like James and the Didact

[hasty zinc]

Bring back Miranda too so we have her continue to be a terrible character!

[normal owl]

like Santa belly laughs

[waxen rose]

My chief schizofrenia head cannon is finally real!

[jade gust]

It's rare you can pull off a beloved character dying and coming back. The best example I can think of is Bucky Barnes, when he became the Winter Soldier. But even then, some people were no doubt not happy with that

[obsidian wyvern]

I want that grunt I splattered when tryna run over icky back alive

[jade gust]

Didact was never confirmed KIA in Halo 4 and James was long speculated to have survived due to similarites between what happened with him over Reach and what happened with Kurt

[shell elbow]

Well Ironman is probably returning

[normal owl]

that is actually my longstanding cheeky head canon about Noble Six.

[obsidian wyvern]

see how no one sane likes this idea

[waxen rose]

LOL they're both a tad bit ‘quirky’

[jade gust]

We weren't talking about Iron Man. I was just using Bucky as an example of one of the few times a character death being reversed working well

[shell elbow]

But why? It's awesome! We need Ironman back man, he's been dead long enough

[fickle drift]

The only time I want to hear about Iron Man returning is if they announce Marvel vs Capcom 4

[shell elbow]

I believe 343 can pull it off

[jade gust]

343 don't make Marvel films

[fickle drift]

Even wants 343 to be revived lmao

[shell elbow]

I'm talking about reviving characters

[shell elbow]

I meant Halo studios, still not used to the change

[jade gust]

Would you believe me if I said there was a comic where Iron Man comes back from the dead as an AI controlling one of his suits, before eventually the real Tony comes back from the dead

[trim saddle]

anyone else notice that the mutilator shoots a lot of the spike rounds from a mangler?

[normal owl]

Speaking of MvC I realized in organizing my Xbox games that I snagged MvC Infinite on sale forever ago and have never played it.

[jade gust]

I prefer my death to have meaning, even in comic books

[shell elbow]

I don't

[normal owl]

I think I've played Ultimate MvC3 once and it was awesome, from fuzzy memory.

[waxen rose]

Cortana off screen ‘death’ enjoyer

[hasty zinc]

this you?

[fickle drift]

Maaaan

[jade gust]

Never played any of the MvC games. How fun are they? I know Spider-Man and Chris Redfield team up against zombies at some point

Oh wow, Aegis just pulled out the receipts

[meager linden]

Roasted

[normal owl]

The IP has had a good place in my heart for being bombastic purely-for-fun 2d splashy fighters. Has a very Nintendo-esque purity of "just enjoy it" about it.

[jade gust]

Fair

[fickle drift]

Infinite is kind of derided but I haven't played it myself to comment.
UMVC3 is awesome, broken but in a fun way.

And the MVC Collection is really cool as well, the roster for MVC2 is maybe my second favorite in a fighting game

[normal owl]

Is that the one with Onslaught?

[jade gust]

My only hesitation with picking them up is I'm notoriously bad at fighting games

[fickle drift]

I think that's 1, 2's final boss is uh...some sentient armor guy
*Abyss

[normal owl]

That's one of the main reasons I liked the older MvC games actually: it's almost like a smash bros in disguise as a 2d fighting game.

[jade gust]

Fair

[fickle drift]

They've got simplified controls in the collection as well, like one-button supers.

[normal owl]

I can't "feint" and "juggle" to save my life, so I like games where the moves are front and center to access.

[normal owl]

true true true

[waxen rose]

My dogs big nose wont allow my mc helmet on her💔

[meager linden]

Good cold night people of Halo
See you all after my twitch stream
(Currently streaming Halo Infinite campaign Non-Grapplehook challenge, but i can use it on boss fights)

[shell elbow]

Yo does anyone think they'll bring back Infinite's live service story? They sort of already did with Academy Firefight

Or maybe custom Spartans in campaign?

[harsh vector]

did they increase the xp in the new firefight playlist yet

[jade gust]

You asked something extremely similar earlier

[shell elbow]

I did and I still haven't gotten an answer lol

I just want my Spartan to have a role in the story

[harsh vector]

no

[shell elbow]

Why not?

[harsh vector]

ded

[shell elbow]

Halo is not dead man

[harsh vector]

just dustin echoes fr

[meager linden]

@shell elbow

[shell elbow]

I think I've seen that before...

[shell elbow]

I changed my mind

Though honestly I at least wish they'd give the Banished and UNSC new voice lines so they aren't talking like you are the Chief

[harsh vector]

we are all one master chief......

[shell elbow]

Nah

[hasty zinc]

probably not like it was before

[waxen rose]

We literally are master chief

[harsh vector]

yuh uh

[hasty zinc]

with focus shifting onto other projects and Infinite retaining a smaller team, the amount of effort that goes into those stories with voice acting and everything else is probably too much at this point

[trim saddle]

lets add all these great ideas into the next halo project

[shell elbow]

Nah

[shell elbow]

What other projects besides a remake of CE?

[hasty zinc]

no CE remake has ever been announced

[trim saddle]

They havent said what their projects are

[pliant hatch]

the next halo game?

[meager linden]

No info about CE remake

[hasty zinc]

there has been zero information other than there are other projects in the works and that Halo is moving to UE5

[meager linden]

They just show what they can do on UE5

[normal owl]

You know what just hit me: a CE remake would be my personal bet, because it would fit well as a First Halo Game on PlayStation, just like Gears Reloaded.

[shell elbow]

Seems like everything is these days

[waxen rose]

He is our collective meat puppet

[hasty zinc]

everything is what

[trim saddle]

I do like the idea but nothing is confirmed yet, we can speculate all we wish but you know as well as anyone that we dont talk about rumors or leaks here 😉

[harsh vector]

spartan dating app

[meager linden]

Is it even possible to stop asking that?

[normal owl]

I'm not talking about any leaks at all: personal bet.

[trim saddle]

how much for the "hyper lethal" rating to get more matches?

[normal owl]

It makes sense as a business conjecture.

[waxen rose]

Vip epic monthly program 50 dollars

[forest lagoon]

Tree-fiddy

[trim saddle]

Indeed it does! starting the PSN out on #1

[meager linden]

So
I'm running out of ideas to halo infinite campaign
Left only old covenant weapon
Only skewer
And Ravager

[hasty zinc]

one of the funniest comments ever made in this server

[waxen rose]

Halo dating sim you can choose to be noble six or the chief, its the new game they are hiding: they dont want the public to know

[meager linden]

Any, real good challenges?(i will do laso too, but later)

[fickle drift]

Melee only

[trim saddle]

"why does that dude have so many scars and hes HYUGE?"

[forest lagoon]

If KFC can get a dating sim...

[trim saddle]

Kentucky Friends Club?

oh oh Kentucky FUN Club

[hasty zinc]

[fickle drift]

No not the colonel

[pliant hatch]

do mcc now instead

[trim saddle]

thats what it says when you fail

[forest lagoon]

You haven't seen it? It's in epic anime style

[meager linden]

MCC challenges?
Alright
But after Infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

theres only so much u can do lol

[waxen rose]

Halo: fighting for love

[pliant hatch]

plasma nades

[fickle drift]

Wait what

[obsidian wyvern]

beat the game in 3 hours on legendary

[forest lagoon]

It's a legit thing!

[meager linden]

Which one?

Halo 2 for sure(no)

[obsidian wyvern]

thought u were talking about infinite challenges

[forest lagoon]

Halo: Ship-uations

[meager linden]

Yes

[obsidian wyvern]

but any of the games in under 3 hours on legendary

https://tenor.com/view/kfc-kfc-chicken-kentucky-fried-chicken-colonel-sanders-gif-25331659

[waxen rose]

If you choose to be master chief whenever you get dialogue options the first two are always “….” (negative) and “….” (positive)

[fickle drift]

😦

[trim saddle]

theres a special achievement for choosing the silent but deadly route, speak less than 5 times total

[waxen rose]

LOL

[forest lagoon]

Must be a cartographer

[meager linden]

Ok
But first Infinite remains challenges, then LASO, and then 3 hours speed run(infinite)

[trim saddle]

"I dont need a cartographer, i know the direction I wanna go"

[hasty zinc]

the Rookie special

[waxen rose]

Enough “….” negative dialogues spoken and you unlock the awkward achievement

[ocean herald]

What would be the equivalent of laso difficulty?

Admitting you like halo 5?

[waxen rose]

Its gonna be harder

[trim saddle]

infinite LASO was easy in comparison

[forest lagoon]

Stare at the others long enough to unlock the special Marine dialog

[waxen rose]

If you stare at Linda long enough and say nothing you'll unlock the secret cutscene where she beats you up

[trim saddle]

careful with that one lmao

[meager linden]

Ok
So the last infinite challenges
Only ravager
Only old covenant weapon
Only skewer
LASO
And 3 hours infinite campaign speed run

[indigo lotus]

Maybe add a breaking the 4th wall dialogue/achievement.

[waxen rose]

[waxen rose]

The epic IRS are coming

[fossil skiff]

Oh yeah? Well I know the legendary IRS

[peak trench]

Only thing you need to buy is the game, cosmetics are a scam. Why is all your stuff more expensive than food like nahhh

And thankfully Fortnite is free so boom roasted

[candid solar]

Because we live in a society where food is actually pretty damn common.

So money goes towards luxuries.

[peak trench]

Oh right I forgot video game cosmetics are limited numbers

[trim saddle]

I dont buy makeup

oh those cosmetics

[ivory belfry]

Will i get banned if i make fun of a certain dev?

[candid solar]

If you do it you'll certainly find out.

[analog knot]

If you have to ask

[trim saddle]

check #rules-and-guidelines

[waxen rose]

Yeah my video game cosmetics should be 8 bucks: same cost as my eggs

[trim saddle]

dont buy eggs and get 2x the cosmetics

[candid solar]

Irrelevant to my point. Clothing is effectively unlimited in the US due to trade, as another example, but yet is also more expensive than food, because it is a different priority of item.

[waxen rose]

Genius why didnt I think of that… smh

[peak trench]

My point is anything is more worth a damn than game cosmetics

[candid solar]

And your point is built on flawed reasoning, lmao

[peak trench]

If you say so

[waxen rose]

My cosmetics should be the same price as my new car

[ivory belfry]

The dev is mellisa boon

[candid solar]

Which is why I'm pointing that out. You just don't like it, that's the only reason you think it makes no sense.

[analog knot]

I know its just a map with times on it, but I wonder which dev started this trend. First I can think of is Blizzard with WoW but there must have been something earlier

[candid solar]

Something costing more or less than food is a pretty arbitrary line anyways.

[peak trench]

All I said was cosmetics is dumb basically but go off

[candid solar]

You talk in a public forum, you're gonna get talked to, kinda the world we live in

[peak trench]

Oh wow I never thought of that lol

[candid solar]

It's okay, we all make mistakes. It's what makes us human.

Cosmetics are still dumb andddd a waste of money genuinely. Nuff said

From me anyway

[hasty zinc]

but you still buy them :\

[peak trench]

When lol

[waxen rose]

LMAO

[peak trench]

You just have that saved lol

[candid solar]

All luxuries are by definition a waste of money. They're for you to feel good and not used to keep you alive or generate personal revenue.

jkl i tried to phrase it like one of those "describe it in the most weird way possible" reddit posts

[muted rose]

Dumb posts then tbh

[candid solar]

Like, I'm not exactly thrilled by or giving a defense of digital cosmetics, just making the point that they're a luxury commodity, not a necessity that we happen to have in abundance, which is why they are priced as they are.

certified goblin full of whimsy click clacks.

And III Gammas.

[waxen rose]

You're turning green soon, my bad

[trim saddle]

super green

[waxen rose]

Goblin aesthetic

[peak trench]

I have fun until I remember I don't know where the people I saw and talked to on og halo 3 everyday are but I hope they're doing good.

[waxen rose]

Ah

35 is middle aged… as my cousin says

[pliant hatch]

[peak trench]

The coolest club fr

[waxen rose]

“I was born 253-” unc status.

[peak trench]

All the uncs experienced Halo in its prime. Now they don't even want you talking to each other in infinite 😂

Be sure to turn on those outlines or you young folk won't see em 😂

[waxen rose]

ok old man

[candid solar]

NGL I tend to just mute people who have a mic by default in Halo these days.

[trim saddle]

Can confirm, text and audio chat are off for randos lol

[candid solar]

The chances that they're gonna start throwing out slurs is too high for me to really be patient about, and I don't have time for that inanity.

[fickle drift]

The High Ground incident.

[peak trench]

That's how everyone below 25 is now adays it seems, back when we all were very social

[candid solar]

I'm 28.

[hasty zinc]

I had it on by accident yesterday and I all heard was heavy breathing and microphone buzzing

[peak trench]

I'll actually cry if I hear that

[pliant hatch]

I don't hear them cause I'm usually watching a vid.

[trim saddle]

-fire alarm chirp-

[peak trench]

Ha I'm 27

[waxen rose]

Assumptions assumptions

[meager linden]

My micro settings are already turned off, so that makes no sense for me

I guess I killed that chat
Again

[peak trench]

You're right it's 25 and after that mute themselves and everyone

[hasty zinc]

it was less than 45 seconds between your message and saying chat was dead

[meager linden]

Ok
See you all later
After the twitch stream

[waxen rose]

I am the type to breathe heavily into the mic just to make everyone else uncomfortable if they have their mic on and say nothing
But I dont play matches with anyone but friends

[hard heart]

good afternoon

[trim saddle]

rip a bag of kettle cooked and monch monch

[limpid ferry]

I’m 10 levels away from finishing the Operation Pass.

Pushing you into a locker and stealing your lunch money

Then you shut it, bully smart not hard

[trim saddle]

🤷🏻‍♂️ proper use of pressure points does wonders regardless of size

[waxen rose]

Spoon to your neck n knock you out or smthn

[trim saddle]

Ive fought plenty of people larger than me and im 5'7" 185lbs. Its about applying pressure and being quicker.

[waxen rose]

It seems like the Halo Studios Director who created the AI image below to promote a job listing must’ve heard the negative feedback because they created this new handmade artwork to promote a lead concept artist job with the message “We need a Lead Concept Artist so that I can go

[cursive verge]

Halo 3 custom games anyone?

[peak trench]

Peak advertising, bigger hype than the believe halo 3 commercial

[molten pelican]

Would have been funny if it was done first time lol

This is pretty incredible tho tbh

[peak trench]

I'm glad they used AI the first time so they knew right away we weren't gonna appreciate ai halo lol.

[molten pelican]

lol true

They've used it before for certain cosmetic things.. I think

[peak trench]

I asked that directly when it happened and they said it wasn't.

[molten pelican]

Ah I see

[molten pelican]

They really should hire @forest lagoon

[peak trench]

Fr

[forest lagoon]

Why? I could never match that glory of the redo

[molten pelican]

Oh well then, I'm available

[forest lagoon]

[trim saddle]

[molten pelican]

Yes

-future halo designer

[forest lagoon]

[trim saddle]

[molten pelican]

Hi spork

[peak trench]

Halo spork

[molten pelican]

No

[pseudo birch]

is there some sort masterchief collection general soundtrack released somewhere?

[trim saddle]

not that im aware, pretty sure its just all the previous games soundtracks that released separately.

[pseudo birch]

i want to get em but here's the thing the anniversary soundtracks are very weird and different from the originals for halo 2 and ce from what i can see on khinsider

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah halo 2a has different tracks that play

[peak trench]

The anniversary tracks are pretty different but they're still bops

[pseudo birch]

you know gotta love how the base gregorian chants are so iconic and well done that basically every theme is a remix of the previous kind of like terminator

wish the soundtracks were available on steam somehow

[supple knot]

Good cold night people of Halo

[silk beacon]

Cold is better than hot :D Goodnight!!

[peak trench]

I'd rather be hot

24/7
SWEATING

[meager linden]

+40, nice hot temperature

[silk beacon]

Ew.

I slept well because my room was 60f

[hasty zinc]

the colder the better

[stuck sluice]

Night.

[hasty zinc]

esp for sleeping

[peak trench]

Cold is pain heat is gain

[silk beacon]

Yeah. If it's cold, just put on layers, if it's hot, you can't reverse that...

[analog knot]

Can we make AFKing consistently to grief for years bannable? 😄

Same person intentionally AFKing for years in ranked, depending on who he gets on his team. How thats not actionable is beyond me

[obsidian wyvern]

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/bzfdR.gif

[analog knot]

Been making tickets on this same person since 2023 at least (probably earlier, cant see back farther) 😦

[hasty zinc]

see you can remove layers too 😛

[meager linden]

Still scary than Flood

Nah, Flood isn't scary

Mid actually

[silk beacon]

😂

[muted rose]

Would require acknowledging mcc in some capacity which can’t be done apparently

[peak trench]

MCC ran its course unfortunately

[late gate]

WHERE DO I POST MY ART OF MASTER CHIEF PLAYING BASKETBALL

[late gate]

THXXX I POSTED ITTT

[analog knot]

Some day 😄

[waxen rose]

I need to sleep cold or I wont sleep at all
If my bedroom isnt -275 degrees I wont get any sleep

[silk beacon]

[wise steeple]

Hallo 🙂

[peak trench]

Halo

[waxen rose]

“It ain't cute”

[peak trench]

They must not be around anymore 😂

[molten pelican]

Well it's frowned upon

[waxen rose]

If its boiling hot in my room im still sleeping with a blanket on

[silk beacon]

^

[waxen rose]

the boogie man cant get me if I have a blanket on

[silk beacon]

I can't sleep without a big conforter blanket

[peak trench]

The boogie man can literally turn into your blanket

[silk beacon]

Another good point

[waxen rose]

WHAT WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS

[silk beacon]

Dw, the boggieman is supposedly super hot. He don't like cold.

[waxen rose]

Phew! The 7 fans I have on at night keep him away

[waxen rose]

I love my 30 pound weighted blanket to death

[silk beacon]

30 pouind is exessive. 15 is good tho

[waxen rose]

Yeah I only figured outva few months ago after I bought it that the weight of my blanket should only be 15% of my weight

[silk beacon]

My dad when I used to tell him this: "Hahahahah, heh hehehehehahan no"

[waxen rose]

I have ptsd nightmares so my blanket is the best invention to ever be made

Keeps me asleep

[silk beacon]

All my Dreams are supier lucid, so nightmares I don't mind

[waxen rose]

Shark nightmares <<<

[silk beacon]

~~@fickle drift ~~

[waxen rose]

Dude I played halo non stop once that for a full week master chief was in my dreams 😭

[pseudo birch]

I really wonder if halo 5 ever came to pc would it be included in the MasterChief collection? And if yes would you need to buy it if you already own the collection per se?

[silk beacon]

LMAO

I feel you. Locke punched me awake so many times

[fickle drift]

I’ve been summoned

[silk beacon]

Master Freak is scared of u :3

[waxen rose]

Master Chief told me to drive off a cliff (he was in the passenger seat)

[fickle drift]

Cool

[silk beacon]

Lol 😂

[waxen rose]

I watched jaws as a kid and it scared me more than it should've

[fickle drift]

[silk beacon]

[still python]

How is it that Spartans in super soldier Mjolnir armor can’t touch water or they die

[silk beacon]

Because master chief isn't aquatic.

Or anyone else for that matter

[still python]

🎶 There Must Be Something In The Water!! 🎶

[silk beacon]

I don't get the reference

[still python]

It’s a song by Lewis Capaldi called Bruises

[silk beacon]

Ohh.

[waxen rose]

Its mostly just a CE thing - like a joke. They can touch water they just can't swim because they're so incredibly heavy

[silk beacon]

Lewis Capaldi is w.

[still python]

If the army requires swim training, then the UNSC better damn well too 😂

[still python]

Yes he is

[silk beacon]

For real, LOl

[peak trench]

Bloom

[waxen rose]

Spartans in armor plus their body weight are 1200 pounds, they sink rather than swim so they drown

They're kinda big

[candid solar]

No, it's around 500. With gear they push up to about 700.

[silk beacon]

Mhm, but that big bulk should be optimized for water too. Like Halsey completely ignored that every planet with life is completely covered in the stuff

[waxen rose]

Halopedia lyin’ to me

[candid solar]

There are several models of MJOLNIR built around aquatic combat.

[still python]

Yeah!

[candid solar]

That is extremely out of date info.

[still python]

Oh sweet

[waxen rose]

I didnt know it was out of date

[silk beacon]

What, 2005 💀

[candid solar]

The source Halopedia cites is 2001.
