[hybrid plover]

it’s a good one

[faint mantle]

Extremely simplified:

• became the species responsible for the development of all others in the galaxy.
• They were so technologically advanced they could live for centuries. Everyone was issued an armor with a personal AI. They were able to fabricate their own worlds and warp reality to fit an entire planet inside a very small space (Onyx).
• They were responsible for restarting the galaxy's life when the flood were eventually winning the war and were responsible for getting every species back to its original planet afterwards.
• The strongest fear of the forerunners was likely losing their status as the protectors of the galaxy, which is why they went to war with their makers, the Precursors. But no, this does not mean the Astartes automatically win because they know no fear.
• Are they better than the 40K Imperium? Likely. Their technological advancement, capacity of innovation, and capability to eliminate everything in the galaxy is definitely something the Imperium of Man cannot (and will not) do. If they could, it would have already been proposed to fight the Tyranids.
• War in Heaven Necrons win. Very few things beat the Necrons.

[harsh ginkgo]

They sound very similar to the old ones

[hybrid plover]

what fighting game was ezio in?

[harsh ginkgo]

You’re right forerunners destroy the imperium except for one funny little man

[hybrid plover]

just googled. It’s Soul Caliber V

[hasty zinc]

smh, not even using the good one

[obsidian wyvern]

it's now a video 😤

[harsh ginkgo]

From what I’ve heard so far

Necrons VS Forerunners would be awesome

[hybrid plover]

what about Franklin from GTA 5 vs The Covenant

[faint mantle]

You ever watched that first episode of the Halo show when the kids go out to the woods?

[hasty zinc]

I'm working on it

[harsh ginkgo]

Lol that was funny

[storm lily]

Nah get Lamar. Yee yee ahh haircut

[harsh ginkgo]

Grug vs covenant

[hybrid plover]

just watched it. holy cow lol

they really butchered those kids

[harsh ginkgo]

It was funny not because they kill kids but because of the CGI

[obsidian wyvern]

there was no CGI, they actually killed those kids

[hasty zinc]

interesting

[hybrid plover]

[tight remnant]

I recommend it either way

[hybrid plover]

what? all the non anime guys? 🤣

[obsidian wyvern]

I think it was my first mainstream anime show, it was pretty short but very good

[harsh ginkgo]

I don’t trust that Guy he said the covenant would survive Warhammer

[hybrid plover]

i’ve heard it’s good. and i believe it. just don’t really care tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

[remote spruce]

i got it just now holy

[dawn sorrel]

Now, with this much higher ratio of mobilization, Super Earth has 745 million soldiers in a 253-planet scenario and an eye-watering 1,030 million active military personnel in a 2530-planet scenario. Both numbers are more than enough to crew a million Super Destroyers and maintain enough support units behind the scenes.

[dry lintel]

[faint mantle]

Your best option on that computer is Cloud Gaming, available on Xbox Gamepass Ultimate

[dawn sorrel]

dam

ty

[dawn sorrel]

is there a nother way that does not require money

[faint mantle]

Find a PC in the garbage with the minimum requirements to run the game and restore it.

[frosty siren]

there no meme channle?

[faint mantle]

I don't see any other way as Xbox will require money for online play.

[dawn sorrel]

even on steam

and i can't run onmy laptop?

[faint mantle]

Does your laptop have a green or red sticker?

[frosty siren]

Playstatiom moment requireing you to pay playstation plus to even watch youtube...

[dawn sorrel]

nither

[faint mantle]

Then you cant't run the game

[dawn sorrel]

dam

why

[faint mantle]

Because your computer does not meet the minimum requirements to run the game

Requirement #1 is a dedicated graphics card, your laptop only has integrated graphics

And Intel integrated graphics suck. If you had a red sticker, then you would have AMD, which MAYBE could run the game.

[hoary locust]

Still doubt it could, at least not in a playable state

[faint mantle]

And before you ask, no, your laptop likely doesn't support an external GPU

[dawn sorrel]

i will still try and report back if it blows up

[faint mantle]

That'll be a fun observation

#1076327824924872755 if it's Halo related

[cursive tendon]

I wish they would you to put armor on the halo 2 kit

[jade gust]

They'd need to make it into a full armour core but honestly that's not happening at this point

[cursive tendon]

They can still let you customize the kit that cost 20 dollars

There is a glitch that lets you

[jade gust]

That's a glitch, it isn't intended

[cursive tendon]

My point is that a glitch shouldn't be better then the actual game there's no clipping with the helmets

[jade gust]

It's still a glitch to be able to swap helmets on kits

Like, I assume you wish it was a full armour core, believe me I wish it was too. They could've given us the Mark VI as a full core twice now but didn't. But let's not act like the glitch being used to swap pieces on an armour kit is somehow better customisation than the actual customisation system in the game

[cursive tendon]

The glitch has no clipping for helmets its better then the game currently.

I'm saying for kits it's better

[jade gust]

I'm confused as to what you're saying? Are you saying you'd rather just have the option to just swap helmets and no other customisation options because that's somehow better?

[forest dust]

I don't understand why the CSR matchmaking is so high on restrictions. Like why is gold not restricted? Also when you get plat 1 why is it 900 csr difference? That seems high. For example played againist gold 4, plat 3, plat 5, diamond 5. The d5 got 35 kills which made them win the game. It's a smerf account so he's onyx in his other account. How does it make it fair for csr matchmaking trying to balance out the teams when one person can win the game?

[worldly sedge]

Morning

[forest dust]

Why can't csr be restricted to 500 difference? or 400 difference? why restrict it to a high onyx? Players who are lower don't find it a fun game to play when all they do is die?

morning

[remote spruce]

Yo ya boy is back

[empty sable]

The fact that they are making Halo 3 content for the MK V(b) means we will most likely never get an actual Mk VI core.

[obsidian wyvern]

getting any more cores at this stage would be a surprise

[empty sable]

Honestly, I never liked the idea of kits and cores.

Should just be a fully customisable spartan where you can select different parts such as the front and back of the torso, legs, arms, etc and then you can save different slots. Might be easier said than done though idk.

[remote spruce]

Playable cortona when

[empty sable]

Garry's mod.

[normal compass]

It my bday im unc now 💀

[remote spruce]

How old bud

[jade gust]

This was obvious when we didn't get a Mark VI core twice and instead we got kits, one for Hero rank, the other in the store

Anyway, Andor season 2 has destroyed me

[empty sable]

Haven't watched the last episode yet.

Hope its not boring.

[obsidian wyvern]

on ep 3 rn

[shell elbow]

Tbh I think they should turn the kits into cores

Or just remove cores and go back to the systems we had previously where you didn't have to pay $5 for colors

[empty sable]

I miss being able to have normal colours now for some reason I see candy cane spartans in firefight with cat ears.

Cat ears are not forklift certified.

[shell elbow]

Halo Infinite should become more serious and remove all that silly stuff and refund anyone who bought it and then remove all cores and kits and just make all armor pieces available

Also add ODST's because we need them raaaah

[empty sable]

Reaches customisation was peak.

[remote spruce]

And add cortona

[empty sable]

Realistic and practical.

Corona???? We getting face mask spartans now?

[shell elbow]

Halo Studios would get a lot of praise if they did that, even better if they just made Infinite $60 then made all customization free and refunded anyone who bought stuff

[shell elbow]

Superintendent would be perfect for that

[empty sable]

Lol.

[remote spruce]

I’m actually tired of multiplayer for now. I’ve been thinking alot lately of playing the story of halo, especially the flood

[shell elbow]

"Please remember to wear your mask, Spartan"

[steady jolt]

Halo has never been serious though

Not fully

[shell elbow]

"I? I am the monument to all your sins..."

[shell elbow]

🤣

[jade gust]

Some I think make sense as kits, like Agryna and the Flood kits on the Mark V[b], but I don't think all kits need to become cores

[empty sable]

Like, I'd imagine the UNSC would not approve of their spartans having childish and unneeded accessories to very expensive armour costing the human taxpayer millions even billions. Even Halsey was annoyed at Jorges modifications to his armour and his looks professional in comparison to the ODST nutjobs in Spartan Armour.

[shell elbow]

Plus they literally had those customizations mocking others like that one mocking Kat

[jade gust]

The armour cores aren't inherently why we have armour coatings instead of the old armour colour system. I think there definitely merits of bringing back proper armour colour customisation, but coatings are not something which exist because of the armour core system

[shell elbow]

Uhhhhh yeah, they exist to make money which is not okay

[jade gust]

Would you want Hayabusa removed from Halo 3? Because that's a pretty silly looking set of armour for a half tonne super soldier to wear

[empty sable]

Yes. I was never a fan of it.

[shell elbow]

Maybe... Idk

[candid tusk]

Capitalistic company is gonna capitalize. News at 11.

[empty sable]

I personally sported the MK V helmet, EOD torso and MK VI shoulder pads in Halo 3.

[jade gust]

In other news, water is wet

[empty sable]

No way..... Water is dry but make things wet obviously.

[jade gust]

You realise people were mocking Kat far before Halo Infinite added a cosmetic based on a Needle Rifle round going through a helmet, right?

[empty sable]

Never trust Kat to drive.

You'll find yourself down a mountain.

[shell elbow]

They should ignore their shareholders and focus on the customers

[jade gust]

Also, to loop back to the cat ears, who do they hurt for existing within the game?

[empty sable]

Everyone that it pokes.

[shell elbow]

Anyone with common sense and a good sense of fashion or military knowledge

[jade gust]

What genuine harm do a pair of cat ears, styled in a way that fits in with the armour of the game, do those ears cause?

[empty sable]

Oof imagine you get hit by a gravity hammer and then proceed to get stabbed by those cat ears. Deadly.

[shell elbow]

Yeah but the cosmetic is IN UNIVERSE, which is messed up

[queen remnant]

And

[jade gust]

If you're coming to Halo for a ultra serious military shooter which never does anything with any levity, you're at the wrong franchise

[shell elbow]

It ruins the seriousness and the military aesthetic

[jade gust]

Emile is quite literally fighting with a visor covered in scratches to make a skull

[shell elbow]

And it honestly just looks stupid

[steady jolt]

looks at Pestilence

[empty sable]

Next halo game better force us all in MK IV armour and force us all to have Sage Green Armour.

[shell elbow]

Yeah but that's got a reason behind it and looks awesome so it's different

Cat ears are just silly

[queen remnant]

Just say you don't like it because it looks stupid and that's it lol

[jade gust]

What reason do you think it has?

[candid tusk]

Advanced long range listening devices look awesome.

[queen remnant]

Because the emile skull is also silly but you like it

[jade gust]

Because I'm pretty sure there's no deep meaning behind Emile having a skull etched into his visor

[empty sable]

Halsey would have a heart attack if she saw one of her spartans with cat ears. Then again she has zero respect for the IVs so, she may not even be surprised.

[shell elbow]

Eh I'd say force us to have Mk.IV with customization

[shell elbow]

It's explained that each scratch represented a kill

[jade gust]

That's literally not a thing with the skull on Emile's visor

[shell elbow]

Not when they are cat ears...

[empty sable]

Its a fan theory that each scratch represented a major kill.

[jade gust]

So not canon

[shell elbow]

Ok but it still actually looks cool and like something a psychopathic Spartan III would do

[candid tusk]

Taco night? Killed it. Major interview? Killed it. Got up without crying in bed this morning? Killed it.

[shell elbow]

IV's aren't Spartans, they're glorified ODST's

[queen remnant]

There you go lmao

[jade gust]

Here we go again

[empty sable]

Lol. It represents every time Emile had a taco bell and survived the aftermath.

[jade gust]

Let me guess, the Spartan IVs being concenting adults is a bad thing to you

[empty sable]

100%. Too unprofessional, too many rights, too many objections, not as strong.

[jade gust]

But also, I fail to see why the IVs being different is relevant to a discussion specifically about armour customisation

[steady jolt]

Just as strong

[empty sable]

I highly doubt a Spartan IV is as strong as a Spartan II in hand to hand combat.

[steady jolt]

In armour, yes

[empty sable]

Right, so in armour. Without armour what are they.

[candid tusk]

"Nothing but a man."

[obsidian wyvern]

hard disagree, hayabusa looks fineee

[jade gust]

I wasn't the one advocating for it to be removed

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean the second sentence

[jade gust]

Ah

[tawny fjord]

any halo reach players here

[obsidian wyvern]

not a single one

[empty sable]

Nope, we don't play halo. Only think about the past.

[steady jolt]

Can't actually remember what was written about them, but the I don't believe the difference is as much as people make it out to be. Regarding unprofessionalism, that's limited really to a few Spartans we see in H4, not every SIV

[tawny fjord]

yes i cant agree more with u

[steady jolt]

Encyplopedia probably has a good chunk of data on them, I haven't read it all yet

[queen remnant]

No, I hate Halo

[tawny fjord]

get out dawg

[jade gust]

Also real world soldiers act unprofessional all the time. It'd be weird if they were always acting ultra serious throughout every single thing they do

[queen remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/master-chief-fortnite-fortnite-dance-griddy-meme-gif-13285482021022037410

[remote spruce]

Noooo not my halo

[tawny fjord]

what are u guys talking about. marines or ODST

[empty sable]

The generally consensus is that Spartan II's are much stronger when it comes to actual strength and physical fitness, intelligence as well. What makes the Spartan IVs somewhat match the IIs is the GEN 3 armour. That is what I've read from various posts.

[jade gust]

Like, the situations we see IVs not acting too serious in are ones where they make sense most the time. It's not like Halo 4 ended with Chief arriving back on Earth and being greeted to a bunch of Spartans twerking or anything. They all saluted him

[harsh vector]

no its MINE

[candid tusk]

S4's in the campaign were locked in. Spartan Ops is where they were characterized first in a really bad way for an intro.

[empty sable]

However if you were to get a Spartan II and IV in hand to hand combat with no armour or weapons, the Spartan II would wipe the floor with them.

[tawny fjord]

its also cuz they were trained much longer and the enhancement boost was much powerful

[tawny fjord]

more experiance = better tactics

[jade gust]

Someone claimed the Spartan IVs are all unserious and are "a joke" compared to the IIs and IIIs because they are concenting adults

[empty sable]

Aye.

[candid tusk]

S2's were all trained the same. That S4 may have trained with Mr. Miyagi. Could go either way.

[empty sable]

Of course, given the fact that Spartan IIs were trained at the age of 6.

[tawny fjord]

bro prob learned crane kick

[empty sable]

Mr. Miyagi lol. Sweep the leg!

[jade gust]

Should be noted the majority of Spartan IVs come from the military branches of the UNSC, they're trained soldiers, not random people off the street

[empty sable]

Wax on, wax off.

[tawny fjord]

ye thats true

[candid tusk]

For one reason or another, they all want to give the covenant back their bomb. A Spartan's a Spartan.

[tawny fjord]

Spartan IIs are built different cuz of how long they have been in training and im pretty sure theyre drug enhancement for body was much stronger

Spartan IVs are some stupid guys who decided to join the UNSC

[empty sable]

Aye, the enhancements to the Spartan IVs were much more mild.

[jade gust]

Like, there are some IVs who are definitely not the best people, some defected or went rogue, but that's gonna happen regardless, Soren is a Spartan II who defected after all

[tawny fjord]

fr fr

[empty sable]

The Spartan III's even had a more mild augmentation compared to the IIs.

[tawny fjord]

srry i meant picked

[jade gust]

So you saw me say the whole thing about where the Spartan IVs come from and still said they were stupid

[tawny fjord]

ofc because of how many died

[empty sable]

Most likely due to the 50% death rate. 75 spartans and only about 30 survived.

[candid tusk]

"Here's your combat booster, put on your paper mache armor and go die for that hill."

[tawny fjord]

i meant picked mb

[jade gust]

Picked and stupid are very different words

[empty sable]

Jarheads clearly.

Am I allowed to post a link to halopedia?

[idle plume]

you can but there is no embeds

[winter flame]

i though 3's were just augmented in a more cost effective way, not any less effective

[empty sable]

"Spartan Edward Buck considered the Spartan-IVs to be demigods rather than the artificial gods of the Spartan-IIs"

https://www.halopedia.org/Biological_augmentation#SPARTAN-II

Well this link basically outlines the different augmentations for the Spartans

[idle plume]

not this again

[jade gust]

Buck isn't a reliable narrator

[idle plume]

they are as strong as the IIs but they took a super soldier serum instead of augmentations

[jade gust]

And like, the Spartans are categorically not gods

[empty sable]

Tell that to the Covenant.

[jade gust]

Going "Tell that to the Covenant" isn't a checkmate in a discussion

[winter flame]

right but that was just advancement in the understanding on how to augment humans, not a less effective means to augment them. you seem to be making your own conclusion there

[empty sable]

Wasn't meant to be.

I just saw an opportunity to say an iconic line and took it.

[jade gust]

It comes across as such

[winter flame]

they were selected more loosely and used in a much more disposable way because they were cheaper, not because their augmentations were any worse

read Ghost of Onyx

[idle plume]

Yeah i didn't say anything bad about the IIIs ok

they are on par with the Spartan IIs I would say

[empty sable]

The IIs recieved Titanium A bone grafts whereas the III didn't whether that made a big difference is beyond me.

[winter flame]

you said they had milder augmentations which is not true, they were just performed in a more efficent and less invasive manner

[empty sable]

Most sources appear to say they received a more mild augmentation however whether that made them less effective is another question.

It could be that the interpretation of more mild by the sources could mean that the operation wasn't as intense.

[idle plume]

I am not sure how chemical augmentations can create titanium bones

[winter flame]

its literally the opposite, they had better augmentations according to Ghost of Onyx

Maybe 2s needed titanium bones because they couldnt augmentation them in another way

[jade gust]

Better and safer, considering there was no casualties from the augmentation process for the IIIs compared to the many IIs who died or were crippled when they were augmented

[empty sable]

^

[winter flame]

honestly i dont understand trying to conclude that 2s augmentations were better yourself when its clearly stated 3s were an improvement

[jade gust]

Aye, I'm confused by Green's point too

[idle plume]

the only difference is size then

most IIs are 7 foot plus and then there is Lucy

[empty sable]

Taking a closer look it does appear that your argument is correct, most appear to say that the reason why the IIs were considered better was due to experience. Most sources I've looked at previously constantly stated that IIs were better than IIIs however this may be down to misinterpretation and possibly outdated information.

However looking at direct quotes it does appear that the IIIs augmentation were more advanced and safer.

[obsidian wyvern]

it was a finee ending, i guess i expected more but thats what rogue one is for

[winter flame]

better selection probably resulted in better capability, even if 3s have better augmentations

[obsidian wyvern]

spoiler tags my dude

[empty sable]

Aye, also the experience of 27 years by the time of reach.

[jade gust]

Yeah let's not say any Andor spoilers out loud, people here might not have seen it

[obsidian wyvern]

but yeah

[idle plume]

the rebels pisses me off sometimes

[winter flame]

they could probably afford with 3s to use survival of the fittest, the ones who made it back from suicide missions etc

[idle plume]

only 2

[normal owl]

Do not discuss spoilers.

[empty sable]

Not even car spoilers?

[signal wedge]

Tow Mater is an MI6 agent

[empty sable]

Holy Westminister Batman!

[shell elbow]

Yes

The kids being turned into Super Soldiers with better augmentations and lots of extra experience plus brainwashing makes them 10x than an S-IV

Not saying S-IV's are weak or anything, just that they aren't real Spartans

[jade gust]

So you're fine with child soldiers?

Because that's what the Spartan IIs and IIIs are

[shell elbow]

I mean that's part of what makes them so damn good

Their lives being upended saved many more lives than were ruined

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few

Plus imagine if we had gotten all 150 original S-II's, we could've absolutely held off the Covenant even longer

[jade gust]

Or the Covenant would've glassed them from orbit

Which they did to plenty of planets

But either way, the Spartans being effective doesn't justify the use of literal children

[shell elbow]

Ehhhhhhh in the specific scenario it did

[jade gust]

They weren't made to fight Covenant

Only the IIIs were

[shell elbow]

It was that, or full on rebellion and then potential extinction, then the Covenant showed up and it was either make child soldiers or go extinct

[shell elbow]

Oh I know that

[jade gust]

You're just gonna keep justifying a vile and horrible practice no matter what I say, aren't you?

[meager linden]

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

[steady jolt]

they aren't real Spartans
Except they are
/thread

[fickle drift]

they are not

[trim saddle]

I find it funny that theyre called S-IVs.. what does the S stand for? Spartan?

[meager linden]

Sierra maybe?

[trim saddle]

Sierra is just the letter, just made more pronounced for radio chatter so people dont misunderstand letters.

the phonetic alphabet the military uses.

[fickle drift]

if you werent abducted as a child you cant be a spartan

s-ivs are not spartans

[trim saddle]

weird thing to try to gatekeep but ok

[jade gust]

Aye

[trim saddle]

go you 🤷🏻

[fickle drift]

Dr Halsey, is that you?

[jade gust]

Like, being a Spartan isn't determined by you being kidnapped or taken as a child

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/rainbow-spongebob-imagination-gif-2024300603359468440

[trim saddle]

being in the spartan program is how you become a spartan regardless of how you get there. Thats why theyre different sets of spartans.

[jade gust]

Indeed

[waxen rose]

What if I become an orphan. What then huh? LOL

[trim saddle]

Batman

[forest lagoon]

That's not abduction, that's batman

[waxen rose]

NOO

I am justice.

[hasty zinc]

Batman mentioned

[waxen rose]

“Not real spartans” like they're a ‘half breed’ or smthn whattt

[trim saddle]

mudbloods? are we allowed to say that in here?

[waxen rose]

No clue

[jade gust]

I forgot I can't say the first Robin's name here

[shell elbow]

It is

[shell elbow]

Yep because I'm right

[indigo lotus]

No matter on the Spartan number series, spartan 4s are spartans regardless.

[trim saddle]

Richard?

[waxen rose]

So any kidnapped kid is automatically a spartan

Amazing, wow

[steady jolt]

Pardoned it for you

[jade gust]

Thanks Stckr

[jade gust]

He normally goes by a shortened version of it

[trim saddle]

Oh I know lol i didnt want get automodded also.

[jade gust]

Anyway, what I was saying is that the reason Batman trained the Robins was because he wanted to make sure they don't turn out like him. He wanted them to not be consumed by a quest for vengeance like he was

[waxen rose]

If it says spartan Infront of the number... It might be a spartan you guys

The jokerrrr

[pliant hatch]

[jade gust]

Meanwhile ONI decided to use child soldiers when they really could've tried to crack augmenting human adults

[trim saddle]

no

[waxen rose]

Goofy ahh reasoning of “kids are easier to groom and manipulate then grown adults”

[jade gust]

Like, obviously, the whole point of the Spartans from a real world perspective is to show us the darker things a government is going to do to protect their interests, but it's also very clear that it's not something which is to be portrayed as good, even if a Spartan II says something like "I'm glad this is what my life ended up being"

[waxen rose]

A spartan 2 saying that is... Actually messed up💖

[jade gust]

Absolutely

Like, they're effective soldiers, but they lost much of their humanity

[waxen rose]

Group therapy session update when

[fickle drift]

Intro cutscene of Halo 4 be like

[jade gust]

Exactly

[trim saddle]

we dont do that here

[fickle drift]

Did they ever elaborate on who that guy was

[jade gust]

They did not

[waxen rose]

“Tough it out”

[fickle drift]

I'm not sure when it's meant to have taken place either, like if they were considering mental conditioning for the SIV's if it meant greater combat proficiency.

[jade gust]

But yeah, Spartan IIs and IIIs need lots of therapy

[trim saddle]

there wont BE any therapy if we dont stop the banished

[jade gust]

It's such a weird one the intro of Halo 4 is

[waxen rose]

its ok they totally cant feel anything you guys trust me

[jade gust]

Like, it's great as an intro to Halo 4, but when you sit and think about the interrogator and what little we do know, it just doesn't make much sense for him to be someone from the Spartan Branch, and we know he isn't ONI

[trim saddle]

What did everyone have for breakfast? hopefully you had a breakfast lol

[jade gust]

I had fruity bread

[waxen rose]

Coffee that was it

[jade gust]

Toasted

[fickle drift]

A cereal bar on the way to work, as has become customary

[trim saddle]

ooo yum! I had caramel cold brew oats.

[waxen rose]

Public Halsey execution in 3 days

[trim saddle]

thats a bit extreme.

[fickle drift]

Palmer's giddy at the thought lol.

[meager linden]

No Palmer please

[jade gust]

Palmer was just desperate to put a bullet in Halsey

[waxen rose]

Palmercore💖

[trim saddle]

some people really -like- her though

[fickle drift]

Might even bring her second Magnum.

[waxen rose]

Thoae are them FREAKS

[jade gust]

Which honestly I think could've been really interesting if properly explored. Like, we don't get much as to why she hated her so much outside of a general "Halsey is a bad person"

[fickle drift]

She's got two endearing qualities imo, her desire to bury Halsey being one.
Being voiced by Jennifer Hale the second.

[trim saddle]

i found her annoying and i wish chief measured the top of her head to his chest when the asked about his height

[jade gust]

You mean Jen Hale?

[fickle drift]

Yes I oopsed.

That's the other Halo Jen lol

[waxen rose]

I wanna have spartans loudly arguing with eachother over if she is good or bad

[jade gust]

To be fair, both are VAs called Jen

I know my Spartan III would just be like "Yeah she's terrible"

But like, I really wish we got more exploring the why for Palmer's strong dislike that she was making it known every time she was in the same room as her during Spartan Ops

[waxen rose]

Palmer is the one who sends “dead yet?” texts every morning

[forest lagoon]

If she sent "still alive" then she'd be in the wrong universe

[jade gust]

Just breaching protocol to annoy Halsey

[obsidian wyvern]

she'd add egghead because she doesn't say it enough apparently

[fickle drift]

"How's the arm?"

[trim saddle]

is the phrase "arm and dangerous" for you orrrr

[forest lagoon]

I can't type this morning lol

[waxen rose]

she types really slowly because of her armored fingers so it looks like a grandpa is texting 💔

[trim saddle]

she needs the BIG button tv remote.

[trim saddle]

neither can I apparently. the batteries died in my keyboard this morning as well.

[obsidian wyvern]

her waving her prosthetic arm at Palmer was funny

[forest lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-buzz-lightyear-lightyear-arm-plane-gif-2522747953725564685

[waxen rose]

The “at least I got two real arms” response

[jade gust]

Palmer coming in with the ableism against Halsey

[waxen rose]

Thx

[fickle drift]

Hit her with the 'did you lose your keyes again?'

[jade gust]

Which one?

[empty sable]

"Thought you'd be taller"

[fickle drift]

Tell me if a elite wore a spartan badge is he now a spartan?

So woke

[waxen rose]

It was a joke are you dense lmaooo

[jade gust]

Dolphin, I don't think Master Freak was saying Elites were Spartans

Also not sure what's woke about any of this?

[waxen rose]

Right like?

[fickle drift]

Because he was saying if you identify as a spartan you are one

[meager linden]

Wait, why is everything waiving?
Nicknames, my phone, everything
I am cooked?

[fickle drift]

He has 0 knowledge about the spartans

[waxen rose]

Oh my goodness dawg 🤦‍♂️

[fickle drift]

You have to be abducted as a child to be a spartan

[waxen rose]

Not this again loll

[jade gust]

You don't, as shown by the Spartan IV program

[fickle drift]

They arent spartans

[waxen rose]

The rage bait goes crazy with you

[remote spruce]

Halo is a spartan

[jade gust]

And heck, the Orion I program was retroactively called the Spartan I program, Johnson counts as a Spartan and wasn't kidnapped as a kid

[waxen rose]

Whats that supposed to mean lol

[fickle drift]

So are the Spartan I's fake as well then.

[jade gust]

Like, all you need to be a Spartan is to be part of a specific linage of super soldier programs which begins with the Orion I program

Specifically as one of the people being augmented

[waxen rose]

Shhh, dont wake him up

[trim saddle]

but he literally said "wake me when you need me"

[waxen rose]

What if hes still sleepy

[trim saddle]

Chief do be eepy

[jade gust]

Now these days we have multiple parallel attempts at recreating the success of the Spartans, like Venesia's Janissaries or Optican's CEO's personal super soldier project (Which is likely still in very early days)

[waxen rose]

Honk schoo…. Honk schooo… thats how he would sleep

[remote spruce]

Bro just give the armor and I’m set

[trim saddle]

but you didnt get taken as a child. YoUrE NoT a SpArTaN

[haughty wraith]

If anyone, I'd assume optican would get the closest

[remote spruce]

I don’t need all that extra stuff

[meager linden]

I still can't understand that "Spartan 4 isn't Spartan", it's wild to me

[waxen rose]

child abduction insurance becomes crazy expensive once your kid becomes 6 years old

[haughty wraith]

your bones would be ground to dust

[trim saddle]

you dont need to, clearly theyre confused about something and their ego is preventing them from accepting the truth.

[jade gust]

Well we don't know much about Optican's super soldier project yet outside of the CEO getting rumble drugs from a Kig-Yar on Arcadia

[fickle drift]

Depends on the armor.

[jade gust]

Meanwhile we have seen Janissaries on Venesia and other planets

[haughty wraith]

might be fine wearing the buccaneer armor

[true vortex]

Bro VK78 commando best gun change my mind

[forest lagoon]

Best bait of the morning lol

[waxen rose]

Master rage baiter

[forest lagoon]

The abduction, not the commando

[haughty wraith]

High recoil

[meager linden]

Spartans 4 just like Spartan 1, but Spartan 1 not augmented, but Spartan 4 yes

Adult volunteers

[waxen rose]

Better start paying for your child abduction insurance before its too late

[obsidian wyvern]

its not the sticky detonator

[trim saddle]

i miss the sticky det

[haughty wraith]

it's also not the original pistol

[jade gust]

Spartan Is did have augmentations, they were just nowhere near as good or effective as the later generations

[haughty wraith]

rip to the Magnum

[trim saddle]

it has SO many uses.

[empty sable]

I miss the Magnum

[meager linden]

Whoa
Really?

[remote spruce]

I miss halo

[empty sable]

I wonder if we'll get a halo 3 model for it with the legacy pass.

[jade gust]

It is an eternal shame it never came back

[forest lagoon]

But why? I don't have to parent and get to know that I'm protecting the universe? Seems like a win win

[haughty wraith]

Wonder if I could make with a deagle

[meager linden]

So they are just identical I guess

[empty sable]

I do wonder what weapon skin the legacy pass will include. Hopefully something relevant to Halo 3 and not some lame promethean thing.

[trim saddle]

Imagine paying child support to ONI

[waxen rose]

No more kid. No more extra money from the gov. Lose win situation

[remote spruce]

I need a new update. I’m already bored with this one

I’m on 5%

[waxen rose]

Spartan Romeo situation

[haughty wraith]

wish they would've kept the forerunners somewhat of a mystery

[forest lagoon]

You think the government offsets enough of what you have to spend on them for the year? Nah...
The longer this argument is going the more I'm starting to see that Powerful Dolphin is right

(I don't even have kids )

[jade gust]

You say that like they've been throwing irrelevant items into the operation passes to what the operation is about

[waxen rose]

he misses Mr. Halo bc hes been asleep for so long💔

[true vortex]

Still it got good dmg

[haughty wraith]

the recoil is terrible on it

[true vortex]

Better then the ma40

[haughty wraith]

it really isn't

[true vortex]

But it’s got good scope and dmg

[true vortex]

Rlly?

[haughty wraith]

yeah I far prefer the AR

[trim saddle]

the commando is pretty good now since they made it better a few updates ago. Could reduce the kick a little more honestly.

[remote spruce]

No the ma is beyond better

[meager linden]

Needler good

[jade gust]

The Commando is meant for longer ranges than the AR. It's less one is better than the other and more they have different roles

[fickle drift]

[haughty wraith]

needler is pretty good, I agree

[true vortex]

Not good at range

[jade gust]

But if you're really good with the Commando, you can use it in the same ranges as the AR and do better with it

[haughty wraith]

However, I will never understand why they got rid of the plasma rifle, the replacements suck

[meager linden]

Brutes in LASO campaign very good using commando💀

[trim saddle]

im not a fan of how accurate they are with it

[jade gust]

Give me a Plasma Rifle in Halo Infinite using the Halo 5 model for the Brute Plasma Rifle

[remote spruce]

[meager linden]

I know
It's called cheating

[jade gust]

Like, this is easily my favourite look for the weapon (Even if it's strawberry flavoured instead of my prefered blueberry flavoured one)

[remote spruce]

That’s looks so good

[jade gust]

In general, I really enjoyed it in Halo 5 when it was added. Just wish it wasn't exclusive to multiplayer

[haughty wraith]

It was a missed opportunity to add the brute plasma rifle to infinite

[jade gust]

But alas, they didn't update the weapons you could find in the campaign

[trim saddle]

i knew that would happen when they separated campaign and multiplayer

[haughty wraith]

it'd be cool if they let you use the CE or H2 armor in the campaign

[jade gust]

I was talking about 5, not Infinite

[inner fulcrum]

It’s cool that they did different versions in halo 5

[jade gust]

What I find funny is the Sorrow of Teash is basically just a standard Plasma Rifle in function

[trim saddle]

oh oops lol

[true vortex]

im good with commando

i like to think i am atleast

[meager linden]

Go say it to brutes in Halo infinite LASO campaign

[haughty wraith]

[true vortex]

[haughty wraith]

Ain't it on gamepass

[meager linden]

Yes

[shell elbow]

Btw guys what do you all think of Halo Reach Evolved?

[waxen rose]

I dont want it

[shell elbow]

Just did Unearthed firefight and it was absolutely INSANE, though I missed my window to shoot down the cruiser at the end after an HOUR getting to that point so I got glassed lmao

[fickle drift]

Is it out yet?

[meager linden]

I'll better wait for next Halo

[waxen rose]

I heard the physical game is gonna be 80 bucks

[empty sable]

Unearthed firefight? Whats that

[shell elbow]

It's one of the firefight maps in Halo Reach Evolved

[fickle drift]

Unearthed was the first DLC Firefight map for Reach.

[shell elbow]

Demo yeah

[empty sable]

Oh that map. Wasn't it like £1

[shell elbow]

It also has Installation 04 firefight, which was also insane except I managed to call the pelican to escape and survive unlike Unearthed where I failed the objective and got glassed

[fickle drift]

Might give that a shot later, been interested in that project for a while.

[shell elbow]

Why? Evolved Demo is already awesome

[obsidian wyvern]

is that the one by kashiiera

[true vortex]

no tiene

[shell elbow]

Absolutely should, it's literally amazing and it's firefight maps play like Firefight+COD Zombies+ it's own unique thing

[glass crest]

Halo you need to bring back a couple of weapons like beam rifle, rail gun, remote detonator, energy rifle, needler rifle, m90 shotgun, m45 shotgun, plasma launcher, Saw, Br85 battle rifle, mauler, SMG, SMG silencer, spartan laser, magnum pistol, magnum silencer, brute shot, carbine, spiker & plasma caster

[shell elbow]

YES, and make all cosmetics free like every other game until H5

[glass crest]

https://tenor.com/view/deadpool-ryan-reynolds-the-right-idea-guy-point-gif-4474048

[shell elbow]

They also should remove armor cores and have a fully customizable Spartan

[glass crest]

Yeah, I just hope they actually bring back the Hayabusa armor and the katana

[shell elbow]

YES, they literally have a Samurai armor core and they DON'T HAVE HAYABUSA

[glass crest]

Spartan locke spartan armor & and maybe a couple of some anime armor too.

and I also do expected they’re actually gonna have to add a doom armor and gears of war armor too & and maybe a little bit of a guardian titan from Destiny to us also

[shell elbow]

Ehhhh I'd rather not have all that

[obsidian wyvern]

hayabusa isn't as easy to bring back

[glass crest]

Hmmm no gears of war & doom armor then

[rare cedar]

liscening is a thing 😦

[jade gust]

Hayabusa not being in Infinite was because they legally couldn't

[dusty valley]

Anyone elses MCC lose sound after the new Win10 Update?

[jade gust]

And like, armour cores are fine

[haughty wraith]

Hayabusa was based off of ninja gaiden right

I could see how that'd face some legal issues

[jade gust]

It is indeed based off of Ninja Gaiden

[faint mantle]

Imagine a 14 year old knowing or understanding the implications of that

[jade gust]

Now, I could see a new deal happening with the new one coming out to add Hayabusa into Infinite but we'll see

[dawn sorrel]

Lol

[trim saddle]

I want H3 recon and Busa, i have both IRL and want them in infinite.

[spare owl]

Hyabusa is a one of the best looking armor sets in H3. Unfortunately it has no place in the lore. It really wouldnt make sense for the UNSC to issue armor with no specific purpose. Only reason its in the game is because Microsoft wanted to promote Ninja Gaiden 2 which came out the next year.

[jade gust]

There's lore surrounding Hayabusa being a parallel project to Project Mjolnir

[empty sable]

Best looking Halo 3 armour is the MK VI.

[spare owl]

Agreed, thats what im rocking currently

[worldly sedge]

Oh yeah there was a contract for MS & Team Ninja around 2006-2007 when both games shared their IP characters. Nicole-458 in Dead or Alive 4 (2006) and Ryu Hayabusa armor in Halo 3 (2007)

[foggy seal]

anybody played mass effect? Im thinking of purchasing legendary edition but it looks very similar to halo. And I didnt find much fun in halo (bought reach about 1 month ago and havent finished half of it before I just stopped playing)

I did play original combat evolved 20 years ago but back then i didnt have internet as a kid so it was entertainment

[candid tusk]

Mass Effect is a very different game style.

[fickle drift]

It’s very different to Halo beyond the surface level.
Third person, heavy emphasis on dialogue and character interaction, much less vehicle play.

I’d absolutely recommend it, a different experience.

[foggy seal]

I mean yeah I just meant like similar genre, alien shooter. Gameplay and mechanics do differ slightly for sure

[jade gust]

Mass Effect features allot of dialogue

[foggy seal]

I heard its very long like 100+ hrs but if I couldnt finish 10hr of halo reach who am i kidding then

[jade gust]

Like, it's basically half the game you'll be spending talking with various people

[foggy seal]

ahh got it

[jade gust]

But like, it's a really well made RPG

Like, you will be making decisions which will have an impact later in the series

[fickle drift]

Cause I don’t know what you personally value in games or need to sustain your experience but I love both franchises, warts and all.

[peak trench]

Halo extraction shooter lets go

[foggy seal]

dying light was a masterpiece for me but yeah I see how it is a completely different genre (although I never played any horror games with zombies tbf)

far cry games (especially 2 and 3) were also very enjoyable

[peak trench]

Dying light is 10 years old 😂 😭

[fickle drift]

Age doesn’t have anything to do with quality lol

[jade gust]

And some of the Halo games are over 20 yet are still beloved

[foggy seal]

so I dont know my preferences, for single player definitely open world with some good lore.

[jade gust]

Mass Effect is packed with a galaxy's worth of lore

[peak trench]

I'm just saying it's old now which is crazy

[fickle drift]

So ME isn’t open world but it does have hubs. It’s lore dense though so you’ve got that.

[foggy seal]

I also enjoyed metro games though theyre not open world really

[fickle drift]

I’d even say it’s lore viscous.

[peak trench]

Last Bungie title is 5 years from 20

[foggy seal]

No freaking way they released Jacksmith: Weapons and Warriors yesterday on Steam bruh 😭 🙏

[jade gust]

Ok

[fickle drift]

I’d say give it a shot, never know until you try.

Advice would be to take the games at your own pace, commit to either Paragon or Renegade choices, especially in ME1, and don’t be afraid to look up maps for the uncharted worlds.

[jade gust]

There is one choice in ME3 where it is always morally right to do the renegade option though

I think H8 can figure out which one I am talking about

[fickle drift]

I think I might have an idea lol

[jade gust]

DM me so we don't spoil it for them if they do pick it up

[foggy seal]

ah got it

[fickle drift]

I took a stab at sending it but didn't get through. I know the one though.

[jade gust]

Huh, weird that didn't work

My DMs should be open

[indigo lotus]

I did enjoyed playing the first three Mass Effect games. The choices in dialogue is fun. But you got to know what the results would be good or bad. Plus it has hours on good story to keep you occupied.

[molten pelican]

You are welcome

[silk beacon]

Hello ppl 🥱

[peak trench]

Halo

[silk beacon]

Wsp?

[peak trench]

Wondering why slowmode is on 😂

Wby

[silk beacon]

Loll.

[silk beacon]

Recovering from a fever :D Otherwise fine

[steady jolt]

Because people start spamming the second they realise it's off, so we just keep it on and move it up and down as necessary

[silk beacon]

Wasn't it recently 5s?

[fickle drift]

Emberxx2TAP

[fickle drift]

hello!

[silk beacon]

Sup

[fickle drift]

Not alot just finished ODST

[silk beacon]

Nicee. First time?

[fickle drift]

Nah about the thousand time

[wary dove]

Top 2 sound tracks in video game history and it ain’t 2

In my opinion atleast

[fickle drift]

lol

[wary dove]

I’ve always liked reach and halo 2 more

[fickle drift]

i will say though as depressing as ODST looks its absoulte insane good

[wary dove]

Facts

[fickle drift]

just wished they did a follow up tbh

[wary dove]

I think they should do one for infinite

[fickle drift]

ill be honest

infinte was okay but it was you know too open worldy for a halo game

[glass crest]

Just imagine those weapons make a return a customized colors

[wary dove]

If it had more biomes

I think it would be great

[fickle drift]

i know instead of just grappling around the entire damn map lmao

[wary dove]

Facts

[fickle drift]

And the boss fights sort of took it out of me tbh

[dawn sorrel]

[hybrid plover]

oooh lordy

[waxen rose]

Tomorrow it'll be Banished supporters

[dawn sorrel]

[waxen rose]

Arbiter haters will come out of the woodwork after that

[dawn sorrel]

fr

[meager linden]

Good cold night people of Halo

[dawn sorrel]

night

[dawn sorrel]

then people who think Halzy is a kidnaper

[waxen rose]

Halsey IS a kidnapper

Just not the last thing

[dawn sorrel]

some people may think that but in my opinyo she was just doing he job

[waxen rose]

A job that consisted of kidnapping small children

[wise pecan]

Hi everyone

[jade gust]

Why is there yet another person trying to justify the terrible things Halsey did?

[waxen rose]

Right like?

Public Halsey trial in 3 days

[jade gust]

I'll be a witness at the trial

[waxen rose]

We need someone to volunteer to be the executioner when she is convicted guilty

[steady quarry]

me

[waxen rose]

Yippie
We will have a banquet after full of food and soder

[steady quarry]

YEAHHH

[dawn sorrel]

firing squad?

[steady quarry]

no. throwable warthog.

[waxen rose]

Try and dodge THAT, Halsey

[dawn sorrel]

make it a mamoth

[steady quarry]

that can be arranged

[waxen rose]

I gotta check if that’s in the budget

[steady quarry]

we just need jorge to come back from the dead he can lift it trust

[dawn sorrel]

just use a freget as a pelican

[waxen rose]

Zombie man
Didn't Jorge like, see Halsey in a positive light or was that a different member or noble team

[dawn sorrel]

almost like a mom

[fickle drift]

Oh you already know who's got that job.

[waxen rose]

HELPP

[dawn sorrel]

💀

[jade gust]

Like just Jorge having some form of Stockholm syndrome due to his childhood being spent raised to be a super soldier

[waxen rose]

Yeah

Add that to the list of Halsey sins

[steady quarry]

why don't we have a mantis squash her

[waxen rose]

Okay but what if she tries and runs away

[dawn sorrel]

dont forget murder of all sparten 2s that did not make it

[steady quarry]

1: she's an old woman
2: chaingun

[waxen rose]

Ableist halsey killing all the kids who got hurt and couldn't recover

[dawn sorrel]

mamoth is bigger

[dawn sorrel]

that too

[steady quarry]

okay but big robot

[dawn sorrel]

mac round to the chest

big splat

[steady quarry]

tape her down

[waxen rose]

Duck tape IS in the budget

[steady quarry]

and use a strident's spinal MAC

[dawn sorrel]

no need mac big splash zone

[frosty siren]

Didn't belle have Stockholm syndrome in the beauty and the beast

[steady quarry]

okay but we don't want her to die with her dignity

[waxen rose]

Yes thats the entire plot

[dawn sorrel]

she has none

[frosty siren]

Hahha

[waxen rose]

But unlike Beauty and Beast - it was not romantic put paternal

[dawn sorrel]

tbh

[steady quarry]

Halsey wouldn't enjoy being duct taped down which is exactly why we should

[frosty siren]

And cheif fell in love with a small blue Version of her...

[waxen rose]

Ew ew ew please dont say he romantically likes cortana its so nasty

[dawn sorrel]

not wrong

[steady quarry]

I would argue that cortana and chief are good friends tee em

[jade gust]

I've never read the original story or seen the Disney film

[meager linden]

Eh...
I don't care about Halsey
So not today

[waxen rose]

THIS

[hasty zinc]

he was def not in love

it was a friendship

[meager linden]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[waxen rose]

YES FRIENDSHIP THEY WERE BFFS

[frosty siren]

Don't make a girl a promise you know you can't keep

[steady quarry]

she was a valuable ally and his greatest friend

[jade gust]

I personally saw Chief and Cortana having a sibling-like relationship

[waxen rose]

Best friends forever and ever

[steady quarry]

I do not think chief knows what a romance is

[waxen rose]

I see this but with The Weapon and Chief 🙏

[steady quarry]

I can get behind this

[jade gust]

It means he's an Ace king!

[frosty siren]

Lol

[waxen rose]

AROACE chief core

[forest lagoon]

is for friends that do stuff together

[steady quarry]

I would argue all S-IIs are especially due to an implant that I'm not gonna discuss here but does canonically exist

[waxen rose]

I mean Frederic did have a gf for 3 seconds on some random planet in that one book

[steady quarry]

yeah but that's fred

[dawn sorrel]

true

[stark pine]

Hello people :p

[frosty siren]

Hormonal supresser tablets like in the TV show?

[dawn sorrel]

welcom

[steady quarry]

he has infinite rizz

[stark pine]

Hi hi

[waxen rose]

He's the type to say “where is my hug atttt”

[dawn sorrel]

fr

[jade gust]

Sounds like something his VA would say

[steady quarry]

it's an implant that basically suppresses that urge entirely iirc

yeah

[frosty siren]

So the TV show yes?

[waxen rose]

Wait is Spartan Romeo a Spartan 2

[dawn sorrel]

idk

[jade gust]

Romeo is a IV

[frosty siren]

From odst?

[waxen rose]

Sigh…

[steady quarry]

there's a difference between a pill and an implant

[hasty zinc]

oh so not a real spartan /s

[jade gust]

He was part of Alpha 9

[frosty siren]

If it was a odst then he's a spartan 4

[waxen rose]

Romeo wasnt kidnapped SMH

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/dandadan-anime-momo-ayase-okarun-ken-takakura-gif-1624990033878390232

[remote spruce]
