[drowsy coyote]

Oh nvm I don’t

[waxen rose]

Brain wipe.

Maybe he just doesn't like it

[drowsy coyote]

Now that it’s been a few days for everyone to consider the idea

How we feeling about a new halo timeline soft reboot thing

[obsidian wyvern]

no

[waxen rose]

Whats wrong with the timeline we have now

[drowsy coyote]

Post halo4 I feel it went in a bad direction

And they could’ve intergrated blue team so much better

[waxen rose]

Without h4 or h5 we wouldn't get the best character: esparza

[remote spruce]

so what the next halo plot going to be about?

[drowsy coyote]

Introduce him in halo 3 instead🙏

[waxen rose]

Halo

[remote spruce]

unless they make spinoffs which i dont mind

[trim saddle]

Halo

[remote spruce]

[drowsy coyote]

They’ve been saying that since 2012

[waxen rose]

I think they'll name their next game Halo

[drowsy coyote]

Jerome and chief in one game pls

[trim saddle]

I want jerome inspired stances in infinite

[remote spruce]

flood based game

[waxen rose]

Where my chair at?

[trim saddle]

i want my spartan carrying a folding chair or sitting in it

[normal owl]

It was neat to experience time travel, but everyone's breath here stinks. I'm heading over to the Middle East and Tang China where things are a lot nicer and more advanced.

[remote spruce]

cosmetic idea maybe

[drowsy coyote]

So you’re saying it went in a good direction writing wise?

[drowsy coyote]

HIDE THIS

[waxen rose]

If you start coughing I might have to start pulling out my ancient medicine textbooks

[trim saddle]

we can just take the stance where the spartan is carrying the turret and replace it with a folding chair. EZ.

[molten pelican]

Another attorney comedic adventure

[normal owl]

I think it's just an imbalance of the humors honestly.

[waxen rose]

Always always always

[trim saddle]

your thighs are uneven?

[normal owl]

literally laughing aloud

[molten pelican]

He skips left leg day

[waxen rose]

Okay old guy lets get you back to bed

[trim saddle]

hes all right

[drowsy coyote]

Lmfao ok autocorrect

[trim saddle]

Palpatine?

[drowsy coyote]

Palpatine*

[trim saddle]

the emperor type?

[waxen rose]

Evil mayhaps

[trim saddle]

"evil" is subjective.

[drowsy coyote]

The republic gave thousands of in need people JOBS the senate never would

[trim saddle]

i mean the shows and movies are mostly clones already so

[drowsy coyote]

In my eyes Palpatine was for the people

[peak trench]

Yeah, the Jedi definitely didn't need to be meddling in everything

[waxen rose]

Constructing something named the “‘death’ star” sounds kinda evil
But hey maybe it'll get a rebranding to twinkle twinkle little star sometime

[molten pelican]

He loved democracy 😊

[peak trench]

For the Republic for democracy!

[drowsy coyote]

When theres war there’s money to be made

[waxen rose]

WE KNOW

[trim saddle]

"I AM THE SENATE" is a good quote

[drowsy coyote]

The weapon lives

[molten pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-i-am-the-senate-gif-10270130

[drowsy coyote]

Cortana lite

[waxen rose]

Please drop a nuke on her I cant stand her any longer

[trim saddle]

I had people convinced that when you completed LASO and had subtitles on, it showed that the weapon chose cortana as her name.

[waxen rose]

The weapon is cute
Cortana was just yapping in my ear

[meager linden]

He has a lot, like
"Unlimited power", or
"I love democracy"

[drowsy coyote]

there are quite a bit elites, you might need to get creative

[drowsy coyote]

Secret ending😱😱

[trim saddle]

(its not) but it was funny lol

[drowsy coyote]

Instead we got Atriox burnt ahh as the secret ending

Lmaoo

[meager linden]

I'm still sure it will be her new name
I just can't imagine any new name

[waxen rose]

I like when she went “weee” down the tunnel slide

Cortana yelling at chief was funny but it got old when she constantly reminded me not to die
Like girl I do what I want even if that includes blowing up

Okay now I know why you like her so much

[jade gust]

There's only one name I want for Weapon in the next game, Joyeuse

[drowsy coyote]

Cus she was crazy?

[waxen rose]

Not like that Kris.

[jade gust]

She's dead, nothing's gonna change that now

[drowsy coyote]

Alternate timeline….

[jade gust]

I don't want an alt timeline for Halo

[waxen rose]

Y'all are going into the pit

[meager linden]

https://fixupx.com/MarathonDevTeam/status/1923217324384903262
So bungie is cooked?

[jade gust]

That Cortana is also dead

[peak trench]

Last time Bungie made a fire meal was halo

[drowsy coyote]

Uh oh somebodies getting paid

[waxen rose]

You cant be real you've GOT to be a figment of my imagination

[peak trench]

I'm probably scripted ai that's taken a mind of my own

[drowsy coyote]

Grok

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/doctor-who-dalek-cyberman-confusion-gif-26987992

[meager linden]

I'm still missing Cortana, but The Weapon is much better

[waxen rose]

I think youre just weird for Cortana

[meager linden]

But those moment when Chief tried to delete The Weapon, still hurts

[waxen rose]

I screamed out “GIRL WHAT??” when he tried to do it the first time

[meager linden]

At least The Weapon didn't killed 76 Spartans 4 in Laconia station

[fickle drift]

I’m not a fan of the Weapon tbh, a lot of her attempts to be endearing come across as grating.
On replays it’s become pretty noticeable.

[waxen rose]

Cortana is literally a murderer that kinda RUINS her character and morals

[meager linden]

On 5 it wasn't Cortana anymore

[waxen rose]

Maybe my like for a character dies when she murders multiple people

[fickle drift]

Some of my favorite characters have been responsible for genocides.

[waxen rose]

Arthur Morgan gets a pass bc hes cute/j

[fickle drift]

https://tenor.com/view/television-tv-shows-tv-doctor-who-dr-who-gif-18824146

I’m confused. And No.

[meager linden]

Who is it?

[fickle drift]

Thanks for the clarification.

[peak trench]

Snappy

[meager linden]

You already says no

[peak trench]

Oh snap

They killed yap yap

[jade gust]

I'm trying to remember all the ones The Doctor has done. Obviously there was the Daleks in the Time War, then there's the various times they've threatened to do one against different aliens and monsters. But like that's part of what makes them such an interesting character, they're someone who has done terrible things and regret it

[fickle drift]

Anyway controversially I think Cortana’s eventual role as an Antagonist makes sense, they just needed more time to establish it imo.

Since outside of her monologue in Origins II you wouldn’t necessarily equate that mindset with her.

[jade gust]

We needed more time without Cortana in the series before she came back

[waxen rose]

I enjoy evil cortana
Eyes turn red like an edgy emo 2009 oc

[peak trench]

I'm just glad 343 is gone so hopefully I don't have to deal with any more super controversial awful writing decisions lol

[fossil skiff]

erm

[meager linden]

343 is just Halo studios now

[jade gust]

Like, personally, if I the one who wrote Halo 5, I'd have had it be revealed someone else was using Cortana's appearance to manipulate Chief instead of it being Cortana

[jade gust]

343 changed their name to Halo Studios

[meager linden]

They rebranded the company to be focused more on new Halo projects

[normal owl]

Is 343 the same as Halo Studios>

[peak trench]

343 dna for sure but surely they do things differently

[jade gust]

The rebrand wasn't to be more focused on Halo, 343 was always focused on Halo projects from day one

[peak trench]

It just sucks we only got like 3 halo projects from them lol

But that's the past

[analog knot]

If I replace the boards on a ship over time and eventually they are all replaced, is it the same ship?....

[hasty zinc]

with more to come

you trying to theseus me?

[peak trench]

I expect a halo game every year as compensation. I need cod devs to take over

[jade gust]

Also like, 343 oversaw more than 3 projects, they just didn't internally make all the projects which released since they were formed

[trim saddle]

NO

[analog knot]

yeah they only did the good things, they did not do the bad things /s

[jade gust]

Like, all the novels count as projects for example

[peak trench]

Infinity ward specifically

Let them have it first

[jade gust]

Pretty sure Infinity Ward are busy making COD

[meager linden]

If the Halo game is every year, then you will see a lot of bugs, so better no

[peak trench]

Bugs can sometimes make the whole game

All infinite had going for it in the first year was bugs

[waxen rose]

Errrm gang what

[jade gust]

Plenty of games which aren't released yearly feature lots of bugs too. A franchise releasing yearly isn't somehow the only way a game could be buggy

[trim saddle]

-cough- bethesda -cough-

[peak trench]

King of amazing bugs

[waxen rose]

I love the dark ages!

[analog knot]

Does the item being discussed have software? If the answer is yes, its riddled with bugs

[peak trench]

Scorpion gun my beloved where art thou

[normal owl]

COD is not developed by a studio; it's developed by multiple studios, who each work on a title for more than a single year. They are sequenced ahead of time.

[waxen rose]

You dont get one

[meager linden]

Can't say anything about the first year
But I still have a bug, that my settings always resets after launching game
I looked to #1075989764026675210 but someone says that I need to replace the game to the specific folder and it will be saved now

[peak trench]

Yes, infinity ward, Raven software, treyarch, sledgehammer

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/axe-lotr-gif-5532799

[peak trench]

And some more I think

Speaking of those guys, I hate that whole genre of YouTubers like blame truth and Nero cinema that act like it's the end of the world for cod everyday lol

[jade gust]

And my can do attitude!

[trim saddle]

its still there in the campaign

[peak trench]

They added it back? Hell yes

[trim saddle]

there was a small window where they removed it but they listened to the people asking for it back relatively quick.

[analog knot]

Unlike the god awful halo reach shmear that remains years later 😠

[meager linden]

Also, speaking of secret things on halo infinite campaign
Which role does the secret button on House of Reckoning, on the second floor?(I found it accidentally)

[trim saddle]

theres 3 buttons.

[meager linden]

So, each button on every floor?

[normal owl]

speaking of a can of do, I am genuinely seeking to go to Little Caesars for the first time in many years just to try the mango Mountain Dew flavor that's exclusive to them.

[cedar lance]

I played halo reach and starting to play halo ce, should I have watched something first? Because idk what's really happening

I watched the halo show but that was meh except for fighting

[meager linden]

You should play in the release order

[trim saddle]

i think theres 2 on the first floor and 1 more on the 2nd.. or the other way around i cant remember

[jade gust]

OOh that sounds real nice. Wish I could try it

[meager linden]

The Halo show is a separate line story

[jade gust]

Which speaking of trying things, this time last week, I was trying my first ever Taco Bell

[waxen rose]

Noble Six needs your help
he needs your information, front and back

[trim saddle]

the chicken nuggets from TB are top tier.

[jade gust]

Can't have chicken nuggets I'm afraid so I will just take your word they're good

[trim saddle]

wouldnt know 🤷🏻‍♂️

[waxen rose]

Do you know this personally

[meager linden]

If in release order
Halo CE, 2, 3, ODST, Reach and Halo 4
If on time line
Reach, Halo CE, 2(ODST in the same time) 3 and Halo 4

[cedar lance]

Oh I thought chronological was smarter

[jade gust]

Release order is always better for first times

[analog knot]

Maybe chickens taste like humans

[meager linden]

I played for the first time on time line order🗿

[normal owl]

In other cases, often yes. But Halo's mechanics have changed so much across the games that the mechanical progression trumps the chronological progression for enjoyment of the Halo games specifically.

[peak trench]

I wonder if dinos tasted like chicken

[analog knot]

dino nuggets definitely taste like chicken, can confirm

[waxen rose]

Huge lizard tastes like chicken? /j

[meager linden]

They're gonna taste your first, then you're gonna taste them

[fickle drift]

Reach is better experienced with context of the OT and ODST as well.

So you benefit both narratively and through mechanical progression.

[waxen rose]

If a t-rex is attacking me I am NOT biting it back 😭

[jade gust]

???

[waxen rose]

Errrm what

[fickle drift]

9 years, also what

[meager linden]

Does anybody know, does Dino DNA is saved or not?

[trim saddle]

Reach was fun as heck

[cedar lance]

So assuming I already finished reach should I just keep on hale ce and move from there in release order? Cuz now I'm just feeling like they throw me in battle with no background

[waxen rose]

If its preserved enough then there are def some specimens that are saved

[trim saddle]

in fact ive had fun on every halo, some more than others but thats a matter of opinion.

[meager linden]

If saved, then it's possible to recreate Dino?

[jade gust]

Are you paying attention to the cutscenes?

[cedar lance]

Yes

[waxen rose]

They're doing it with mammoths then yes, in time we will have that tech

[molten pelican]

What's with the Jurassic Park conversation intertwined here lol

[jade gust]

I was about to say, have people not seen Jurassic park?

[peak trench]

Halo is finally live

[meager linden]

I'm not

[trim saddle]

which is why i stay away from PvP, theres other playlists to invest your time into.

[fickle drift]

I’m still stuck on that from earlier btw since when was Johnson responsible for a genocide

[jade gust]

He's definitely killed allot, but he's definitely not done a genocide

[meager linden]

Just a little sloppy about that
Nevermind

[fickle drift]

Alrighty then

[molten pelican]

He dropped his rock on an ant colony

[jade gust]

He's the reason we share the rock

[fickle drift]

Hello, read somewhere that infinite has a pve gamemode, is it true and is it a fully fledged gamemode that can be played a lot ? I got burnt out playing the finals and other tryhard shooter games and looking for something chill...

[jade gust]

Firefight

[waxen rose]

It won't fire idk what im doing wrong

[meager linden]

Firefight

YIPPIE!!!!

[meager linden]

Current situation in my mind

[waxen rose]

Aren't there salt and pepper shakers of those little goobers

[fickle drift]

Must be, probably as far back as the 60s

[waxen rose]

I must add them to my whimsy collection

[jade gust]

Oh the Daleks are the least whimsy thing in Doctor Who

[waxen rose]

I wouldn't know
I never really got into Doctor Who

[jade gust]

They just sometimes got silly thanks to people introducing humanity into their tiny mutant brains

[fickle drift]

You got a favorite design for them Eon

[jade gust]

Imperial Dalek design

Though Time War is very close second

[peak trench]

What do I gotta do to do the do my do guy

[jade gust]

And Genesis design is third

[waxen rose]

Brain aneurysm trying to understand this

[stuck wind]

Oh my god I hate the infinite bug where sometimes you don’t get your after match progress

[peak trench]

👀

[steady jolt]

Stick around for a bit, be active, be helpful, keep it clean and follow the rules. If Halo Studios are looking for help at any point in the future, one of their employees may reach out

[peak trench]

Thank you for really real my real guy for real

[waxen rose]

He might've hit his head💖

[peak trench]

Careful there's two of us now remember?

There won't be any heads to hit if we don't stop the banished, their terror will be endless, infinite even

We need a weapon to stop the banished from releasing the endless infinitely

[empty sable]

I think I've got a case of halo infinite burnout

[meager linden]

🥲

[waxen rose]

GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD

[meager linden]

We don't even know what the hell that "Endless"
Only Harbinger, but one thing is strange
Harbinger has been easily by melee, so that means, all endless so weak?

[jade gust]

It's a mystery set up for the future to find out what the Endless are

[fickle drift]

I’m so used to the revival era designs at this point, since they were my introduction to them.

Might be why I’m partial to the Special Weapons model, i like the industrial look

[jade gust]

It's such a good variant

[fickle drift]

Also yeah the Endless wooOoOoOoo

[indigo lotus]

The only thing we can do is wait until the next installment comes out to find out more about the Endless in more detail

[jade gust]

I wish we got to see a Special Weapons Dalek in the style of the Time War Daleks

[meager linden]

Don't forget also about || Atriox ||, he found them, and maybe there will be another Endless alliance with banished

[empty sable]

Endless is 343

[meager linden]

So who will be next?

[peak trench]

Next game is Halo wars 3 in first person

[meager linden]

Forerunner or predecessor enemy?
I'm tempted to see the predecessor enemy

[wise pecan]

I can't play halo it's stuck on the loading screen was like that for 15 mins so I shut it down

[meager linden]

Halo wars is RTS, not FPS

Ok
See you all later in around 20-30 minutes

[empty sable]

I heard the new game is a halo game.

[empty sable]

I thought the endless were precursors

[fickle drift]

That’s the Flood iirc

[peak trench]

It's funny that there's more halo games not about halo than Halo games about halo

[meager linden]

I'm still thinking that's true
Like, The Harbinger knows about the Forerunners plan, possibly it leads to that time, when Forerunners wiped out almost all precursors, some of them turned to dust(Flood)
And Zeta Halo is the only Halo from The Greater Ark(or whatever it is called)
And maybe some precursors survived and renamed themselves to "Endless"
And on Silent Auditorium(Zeta Halo), and maybe it was their cylix(or how those things are called)

[forest lagoon]

The funny part of that is, that's basically how we ended up with Halo CE in the first place

[jade gust]

I remember hearing about how there's a theory about the Flood basically being a more primal stage of the Precursors opposed to a corrupted state a while back. Like, it's got flaws but it isn't an impossibility

[fossil skiff]

Precursors when they don’t get a Snickers

[jade gust]

Exactly

All we needed to do was give Gravemind a Snickers

[meager linden]

If Gravemind still exists(in the Ark, right?), so who would be volunteering to give Gravemind snickers?

[strong knot]

anyone know how to fix my game? It just stops working after pressing "press enter to play" and i just see the world-ring for an eternity without anything hapening

and why do i have the role africa? am from eu

[meager linden]

Should be on #1075989764026675210

[strong knot]

thx

[pulsar heron]

location roles are self assigned. #roles

[molten pelican]

Not anymore you're not

[waxen rose]

My hand hurts from boiling all this caramel… its hard to make a 20 ft long Snickers

[meager linden]

Okay, just imagine
20 ft long Snickers is finished, and someone will deliver it?
But who and to which location?

[waxen rose]

Deliver it to the halo obviously

Get the snickers delivery expert on board

[fossil skiff]

leave it to the blood ravens

[meager linden]

Ok, to Halo
But where is Gravemind?
Currently location, everything

[waxen rose]

Inside the halo… in a nasty pit
We’ll find it, we just gotta follow the map I found in my cerealbox

[meager linden]

But not in every Halo we have already formed Gravemind
Delta Halo was only where Gravemind was formed

[waxen rose]

We will go to the halo 3 halo duh

[meager linden]

The possible place where Gravemind can be found is on High Charity, but currently it is on The Ark, so it's Impossible to travel to it without slipspace jump or without using portal near New Mombasa

So it's really Impossible

[waxen rose]

Do you think the grapplehook should be a staple in halo now and just stay in certain modes or do you think it should stay in halo infinite and no further?

[obsidian wyvern]

no comment on eeaao

[peak trench]

i cant decide at all. I had fun with it but it also makes things easy and unpredictable lol

[hybrid plover]

revenant

[fickle drift]

The grapple as it is in MP, sure. For Campaign make it a limited pickup so it doesn't demolish traversal diversity.

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[peak trench]

if they decide not to keep it in campaign i hope theres a little cutscene of it getting snapped or something lol

How it feels to chew 5 Gum

[slim sequoia]

why is halo red now

[candid solar]

Well. That sucks.

[quaint kettle]

Because of an invasion

[slim sequoia]

nah I got my answer

its because of celebrating halo 5 as the best game of all time

[remote spruce]

Yes the best

[slim sequoia]

(the real reason is I was told its in celebration of the new doom game)
((xbox discord also has the same red pfp))

[normal owl]

[slim sequoia]

J Dilla my favorite rapper!

[normal owl]

A Detroit legend celebrated by a Detroit watch!

[warm brook]

nope

im not sure if there would be anything different now but everytime i played campaign co-op on my xbox i didnt need xbox live

[candid solar]

If it's on sale now it'll still be on sale in 24 hours, I'd reckon. Might be worth checking on via playing the game first, and if it doesn't work then you have your answer.

[obsidian wyvern]

[candid solar]

Considering what it actually is and why, I'm going to take a deep breath and not lose my temper.

I do wish you could actually stop people from reacting to your posts without blocking them, though. It's actually very annoying.

My kingdom for a user-to-user personalized interaction system that allowed for granular capability to determine who can do what. I'd honestly set it so that people couldn't add reacts to anything I posted by default.

Easily one of my single most hated features.

[normal owl]

but then Discord couldn't sell as much Nitro = using other servers' emotes.

[candid solar]

You can piss me off just fine with default emotes, lmao

[normal owl]

As I think about it, that must be really why: forced full universal opportunity for paying Nitro subs to use their benefits. And Discord is very reliant on subs for revenue in the absence of ads.

[candid solar]

I don't see how personalized emotes that specifically get put under someone's message really matters much in the way of emote revenue.

[normal owl]

I think it's more "you paid X and are promised Y and Z features." "I get to use Y and Z features unimpeded as described."

[dire nebula]

Hey fellow Halo players. I am new here.

[waxen rose]

Big brother is watching

[candid solar]

I mean, I can just block everyone and get rid of emote reactions anyways aside from moderation staff, though it does make it functionally unreadable.

And even then-I have Nitro, but I can't use out-of-server emotes here. So that still kinda prevents me from having any of the features unimpeded.

[dire nebula]

I am new to the Halo series and this server. Just started playing Halo Infinite there.

[normal owl]

oh that's true! Servers can restrict that. Totally missed that. Then what I said is eh.

[candid solar]

I'd wager it's more "It's a pain to implement that sort of response system" so I'll just keep on blocking people who seek to annoy me by reacting under my posts until it becomes inconvenient to keep them that way.

[meager linden]

Good foggy morning people of Halo

Good morning Spartan...

[spice ridge]

Lol

[dire nebula]

You Spartans are something else.

BTW, what are the Banished?

[fossil skiff]

The avengers of harambe

[candid solar]

The Banished are a collection of pirates, smugglers, mercenaries, disincorporated religious zealots, and ideological supremacists who operate in cohesion as a unified military force that seeks to win the galaxy by plunder.

[dire nebula]

Ah so they are space pirates?

[candid solar]

Basically, yeah.

[jade gust]

They formed late in the Human-Covenant War after their leader, Atriox, grew disillusioned with the Covenant and they tried to execute him

[dire nebula]

Damn

I'ma join the Banish then, go to Forge and turn them to my team 😂

https://tenor.com/view/halo-banished-rage-fury-macaco-gif-25226900

Aw man.

[peak trench]

And they love red for some reason

[hearty flame]

Sort of? They are actually a guild under leadership of Craig

The #1 reason you see the guy in the end credits scene is because he is looking for a way to revive Craig

Fun fact: the banished are red because that is craig's favourite colour

[oak ibex]

Tragic

[lavish crane]

hm

So have a question

[oak ibex]

What question do you have

[lavish crane]

Like is the only legit way to beat the campaign in Halo 2 to play from start to finish? I there is like a mission in the beginning of the that I have some problem with...

So its just one mission I want to "skip"..

[oak ibex]

You want to skip?

Your mission cannot be skipped

[jade gust]

If you want to skip specific missions, just select the mission after it in the campaign menu

[lavish crane]

Yeah. Understand that but I guess it will not be a legit run of the campaign then if I choose that route.

That said I can maybe find the one or two mission I do play in that way like a sort of tutorial run of the game

I guess you know by now that I play on legendary right?

think I have mention it before heeh

Also maybe that I find the campaign in heroic a bit to easy tbh which I like chossen to try legendary

is that not like what most experience people play the single player campaign on?

[meager linden]

Outskirts?

[lethal karma]

hah

[lavish crane]

@meager linden The mission before is the one Iam stuck on.. tbh 🙂

Outskirts rocks (so far)

[meager linden]

You mean highway?

Or which mission?

[lavish crane]

Cario station man .

[meager linden]

Ok then

Noob combo in help

[lavish crane]

Its very very well done level. But the end game on it...

Its where I get stuck..

That said Iam glad I that I got back to Halo in general hehe

[meager linden]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[obsidian wyvern]

kill at least one elite and grab their plasma rifle

then use their plasma rifles to take out the other elites' shields

[meager linden]

Plasma rifle is mid
Plasma pistol is good

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think there are any in the final room

pretty sure it's all elites

[meager linden]

Yes, they are all elites, but on Cairo station enough grunts

[obsidian wyvern]

he said end game, assumed he was in the final room

[lavish crane]

Or the room before the final room

[obsidian wyvern]

is this with the drones, or outside that

[lavish crane]

Yeah I think its the room where the drones are coming yes. Or its just before. I mean its like after the first big room with elits and stuff.

[meager linden]

First room with drones, then flying elites and then room with bomb, right?

[jade gust]

Oh yeah, Halo 2 legendary is poorly balanced

[lavish crane]

I think there is like two rooms with drones. Its after the first one..

[meager linden]

Jackal-snipers and drones💀 💀

[lavish crane]

Its harder then the first one hehe

[meager linden]

In Cairo there is only one room with drones, it's lift

[lavish crane]

hm

Its the secetion with the ships then

still two rooms with that. And elites hehe

[meager linden]

Elites almost in every room

[lavish crane]

😆

[meager linden]

So where are you currently now?!
On bomb room or where?
I can't understand

[lavish crane]

It again its like two rooms where ships comes in with elites and grunts. Its the second one Iam stuck on..

[meager linden]

That's all you need to say
I now understand, finally

Yeah, those room are hard

[jade gust]

Noob combo everything with shields

[obsidian wyvern]

in any case, grab a plasma pistol from a grunt and overcharge it to take out the elites shields. then use the battle rifle to headshot them once

..also you're about a third of the way through the level

[lavish crane]

Oh Yeah

Will try it.

[obsidian wyvern]

I have spent hours and hours and hours on Cairo station I get it

[meager linden]

I even wonder how you played it on LASO

[jade gust]

T'is a pain

I still need to get back to beating Halo 2 on legendary but alas, my brain be distracted

[obsidian wyvern]

its tied for the hardest level on laso

between this and gravemind

which was an ego check because i found it to be very easy on legendary

[lavish crane]

@obsidian wyvern 😎

I at least hope its not bad that I dont give up or continue to give it a try,.

Guess I could like gain try to play the level on Heroic to but impression is like my impression was that was it was a bit to easy on that setting heehe

Ohterwise any ohter tips for the level or game?

[meager linden]

Look over your head, there always will be a jackal-sniper

[lavish crane]

🙂

Good cold evening people of Halo

[peak trench]

Halo

[remote spruce]

I love halo

[dire nebula]

Are you guys a Spartan?

Why is my name just a username? Is there a no special character rule in display names?

[jade gust]

Last I checked I wasn't a Spartan, I'd be kinda worried if I was one

[waxen rose]

If I was a spartan id crash out ngl

[fickle drift]

Why do people not like Halo 4?

[waxen rose]

They're haters

[cedar turret]

Halo 4 stole their kit-kats

[jade gust]

Bigger thing, we found DB Cooper

[meager linden]

Those elites were from covenant remnants, but not from Thel' Vadam

They have been gathered by Jul' Mdama
He wanted to restore Covenant

But, something went wrong, and on Halo 5 he been killed

[worldly sedge]

Interesting

[worldly sedge]

They don’t like the number 4

4 is my favorite number

[left ermine]

it didnt feel like halo, felt like cod in space and some folks didnt like how chief had a personality

[peak trench]

And none of that was introduced until 5 or a book right? You didn't learn that in 4? I don't remember

[worldly sedge]

That’s odd because Infinite Warfare was the true COD in Space (good campaign)

[meager linden]

Ok see you all later

[peak trench]

I remember everyone being real upset about jetpack zombies and cod lol I didn't play at least

It looked like a modern warfare game but took the personality of a black ops game

[stuck wind]

Yo wish list for next halo

[worldly sedge]

I was talking about this with my friend the other day, but I respect Doom’s constant evolving/changing gameplay from each entry. Like how 2016 was fast and fun, Eternal was doing its own thing, and TDA is stand & fight. Wish Halo fans respect the change from 3 to 4 to 5

[stuck wind]

Firefight at launch

[jade gust]

It built upon what Reach brought to the series, just like how Halo 3 built upon Halo 2's gameplay formula. The story ending on a more somber tone doesn't mean the game features no hope. The Elites are not a hivemind, they do not all think the same and in universe, it would make sense for there to be groups who don't agree with being allies with humanity. The sounds being different is such a non-issue, and 343 wanted to try new things with the artstyle, which is also a very subjective thing they have walked back on and gone more in the direction of the older Halo's artstyle, as seen in Infinite. Sprint was a mechanic in Reach as well as the concept of armour abilities is a game mechanic, it just wasn't one of the base player abilities until Halo 4. Loadouts first came in Halo Reach, and like I said earlier, 4 built upon what Reach had, which naturally would mean custom loadouts. Also pretty sure social features were in Halo 4, such as pre and post game lobbies

Reach played very different to their earlier Halo titles, don't pretend it was very similar to Halo 3

[worldly sedge]

Yeah Reach was VERY different to Halo 3

Only 2 and 3 are almost identical

[jade gust]

Halo 4 Spartan Ops, which is in the game

[worldly sedge]

I wish Spartan Ops came back, didn’t realize how much we took it for granted in Infinite

[jade gust]

Aye, the biggest changes between Halo 2 and 3 when it comes to the gameplay is the addition of equipment, which yeah, does change things, but you had to scavenge the battlefield for them, whereas in Reach, you always start with one

[worldly sedge]

If I recall, I think ODST and Reach were Bungie’s play testing waters for Destiny. ODST for it’s huge world exploration and Reach for its armor-Spartan abilities

[peak trench]

The best ones in the whole series too

[peak trench]

Ah okay I played that maybe a few times in 2012 and then never again that's why I don't remember it.

Im playing trough the games for the first time, im at halo ce
And was wondering, should i be looking for skulls in every corner or are they not worth it first time?

[waxen rose]

Look for them after you play the campaign

[acoustic nymph]

Okay thanks 🙂

[fossil skiff]

As mentioned above, better to take your time and enjoy the games first. In halo 2 you have to play on legendary to find them and that would not be a fun time 😅

welcome to halo

[acoustic nymph]

Ty 🙂

[waxen rose]

Halo 2 legendary makes me wanna rip my hair out

[fossil skiff]

In plasma pistol we trust

Im having trouble enough on halo on normal mode 🤣
Not that good at shooters tbh

You aren't the only one 🙏

[acoustic nymph]

Bit random but anyone seen the new doctor who episode?

[waxen rose]

Nah is it good?

[acoustic nymph]

Yeah this season has been way better then last season tbh

[jade gust]

I saw it, was not expecting there to be two big twists in this one

And welcome to Halo, hope you're having fun

[thorny briar]

What rank do I get the master chief stuff

In Infinite? Hero rank

[peak trench]

If you want the achievements for the skulls right away youll want to find them and its really fun figuring out where they are, and then you get to activate them in the campaign lobby for special perks to come back and play some more!

[acoustic nymph]

I dont want to ruin my first playtrough by searching for hours though 🙂
I already give up on so many games but itd love to actually play at least trough 1-3

[peak trench]

oh yeah thats totally fair and they dont effect the expierence or story if you dont find them!

welcome to the coolest gaming club ever where everyone is really nice and loves all the halo games.

[jade gust]

Yeah, definitely just play through it casually for the first time. And don't sleep on the later Halo games, Halo 4 has a great story and some fantastic environments to fight in

[peak trench]

i often forget that not everyone has played the halo games so ima try to stay spoiler free in here from now on XD

[torpid valley]

Ouh,no spiking spanish🥺 ?

[steady jolt]

We have #español :)

[muted rose]

Your in the halo discord most of the games are more than 10 years old, if someone doesn’t state they don’t want to be spoiled that’s on them

[acoustic nymph]

I only played a bit of halo 3 as a young teen and halo infinite a few years ago
I liked halo infinite but wasnt a fan of the campaign

[muted rose]

Good thing the campaigns an outlier among the franchise

[acoustic nymph]

Idc about spoilers lol
I already read some online, its fine

I do hope despite that I didnt like infinite campaign, i will like halo 2 campaign
Heard its really good

[muted rose]

You heard right

[fossil skiff]

It’s a banger

I’ve played all of the campaigns and it’s still my favorite

[acoustic nymph]

Halo ce is okay so far
Its not amazing but not bad either
But for someone who normally dislikes pure shooters, this one keeps me engaged

[jade gust]

There's some balancing issues in the second half of Halo 2 due to its troubled development. Just be aware of that

Story's fantastic in Halo 2 though

[stuck wind]

Oh question

BTB MCC or Infinite BTB

[waxen rose]

Bro aint a hero 💔

[fossil skiff]

you’re less likely to get relentlessly farmed in infinite

3/Reach is gauss hog point and click simulator

[jade gust]

Unless it's Flood Gulch, then you're gonna be dealing with constant Scorpion shells flying in your direction

[waxen rose]

Blood gulch🙏

[fossil skiff]

True 😭 I leave if I get that map, idc anymore

[jade gust]

Something about it just makes you wonder why you're there

[waxen rose]

My shirt is lightish red, idk man

[jade gust]

I kinda just don't touch anything but Firefight these days, gonna be honest. I should get back into playing other modes though

[jade gust]

Le gasp So is mine

[waxen rose]

[fossil skiff]

That’s me as well, I started getting back into solo queue btb and doing rumble pit too though. Rumble pit has grown on me a lot.

[waxen rose]

“He said da ting!”

Also whenever I play MCC I always get into 2 and 3 MP

Like 80% of the time

[muted rose]

Infinite a million times over

Mcc btb is miserable

[stuck wind]

And soon as I said that I got into a halo 1 match

[last wolf]

Hello. What do people think of the mutilator?

[stuck wind]

Also I gotta mention people are way more sweaty on MCC compared to infinite

Like I can’t get into MCC multiplayer because you got people who still play like it’s 2004

[dawn marten]

In MCC I got my first hate mail

And I broke my first controller too

Ah the memories

Did I just kill the chat

[acoustic nymph]

I dont think so!
I dont know enough about the subject to talk along and im almost heading to bed

Its almost midnight here

[dawn marten]

I've been playing blood gulch after watching red vs blue

You know that old halo series

[acoustic nymph]

Ive seen the show, didnt know it was an actual game too

I thought it was just based on the multiplayer of halo ce or something

[stuck wind]

Old halo MP has to be one of the greatest experiences in a FPS, trust me I want to get into it but man the old school sweats

But here’s a a MCC question

Lower or centered crosshair

[pulsar heron]

it is. blood gulch is the name of the map that a lot of the series takes place on

[pulsar heron]

nah saturday nights and sunday mornings are usually very subded here. i wouldn't expect much activity over the next 12 or so hours

[pulsar heron]

i stick to lowered as that's what i'm used to

[candid solar]

Centered. I can't go back to lowered.

I think Halo 5 was the first Halo where the crosshair was centered?

Halo Wars notwithstanding

[obsidian wyvern]

[analog knot]

[candid solar]

Was OG CE Centered?

[analog knot]

Yes

[hybrid plover]

i had an og ipod

[candid solar]

Huh. I didn't play it enough for that to stick in my memory.

[analog knot]

H3 was the first to lower it iirc

Its part of why people say H3 on PC specifically is easier than OG, big difference in the two perspectives 😄

[candid solar]

Well, that's on me then. Answer doesn't really change, though, I prefer centered. Lowered just feels off.

[hybrid plover]

oh my goodness

[spice cairn]

spork?

[hybrid plover]

next halo game chief should die at the end

[spice cairn]

noo

[hybrid plover]

yes then usher in the new guy

[spice cairn]

hell naw

[hybrid plover]

but he’s gotta die in a glorious manner ofc. sacrificing himself or sum

make us all sad and stuff

[spice cairn]

don't give 343 any ideas >:[

that's gonna make a lot of halo fans mad

[hybrid plover]

i just wanna see them take chances

[spice cairn]

too many chances have already been taken lol

[hybrid plover]

well as long as the story and game is good it’ll be fine

[stuck wind]

Question

[hybrid plover]

bro the chances they take are baby material. idc

[stuck wind]

Should I be a spartan or elite in MCC

[spice cairn]

spartan better

[hybrid plover]

in the last few years

[spice cairn]

halo 4's gameplay was based completely off of cod

[hybrid plover]

we need a freaking gritty story where chief dies at the end. maybe the flood comes back idk but that’ll also set up for the next game and it’ll be hype as crap

[candid solar]

No, it wasn't. Unless you think Reach's gameplay was based off CoD.

[spice cairn]

kill lasky

[analog knot]

Well to be fair theres definitely some influence 😄 (but it obviously wasnt completely based on it b/c of course it wasnt)

[hybrid plover]

if they do it right obviously

[cedar turret]

It's always hilarious when people think the series with five foot purple methane breathing goblins is supposed to be 'gritty'

[candid solar]

The darker the grittier.

[hybrid plover]

way to talk about me but not too me lool

[cedar turret]

Yodeling lizards. Bird like fruits with sniper rifles. Jeeps that flip across the screen if you hit a bump

Yeah, gritty

🤷🏻‍♂️

whateves

just make halo fortnite at this point. whatever

[cedar turret]

That was all CE

[hybrid plover]

who cares. games been terrible for years

[cedar turret]

Halo was never gritty. It was cheesy sci-fi.

[hybrid plover]

you can feel that way

[cedar turret]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j37HGV0FrU&ab_channel=DevinOlsen

[obsidian wyvern]

doesn't mean it can't be done

[hybrid plover]

yeah there can still be light funny aspects and have a deep real story line

[obsidian wyvern]

not that I want anything in this at all. but you can absolutely make a grounded show

[cedar turret]

Deep story? In halo? The closest you get to that is 4 and 5.

[candid solar]

It's fascinating to see how Reach effectively made so many people into Halo experts that think the entire franchise is a dark and gritty band-of-brothers esque experience best witnessed with a copy of some cheesy self-help book written by a navy seal at your side and a memorial candle for Noble Team.

And also very confusing.

[obsidian wyvern]

it can still be done 🤨

[hybrid plover]

again way to talk about me but not too me

i’m right here 🤣

[cedar turret]

Considering reach is the dirty dozen with unlikable characters who lets face it aren't 'bright'

[hybrid plover]

cough odst cough

[candid solar]

I don't think Tailor is talking about you per say. More just that this is an opinion expressed so thoroughly that debunking it is tiresome and tedious.

Feel free to correct me if that's wrong.

Disliking Reach isn't a personal attack, after all.

[hybrid plover]

i’m not saying it always was gritty or blah blah who cares. I’m saying i think we could use a deep gritty story line

i think it would be of benefit to halo. i know it would catch my attention

[cedar turret]

Most arguments are a bit dull. It's just hilarious how few of them are rooted in actually having played the games. They watch some kid with a webcam and decide they know everything when there are those of us that threw elbows back in 2001.

[hybrid plover]

insufferable

[candid solar]

Cynicism is naïveté tuned to the negative, and generally, brooding, 'gritty' storylines trend towards that.

[cedar turret]

That rating one is even sillier, cause it just tells me you've never played the games.

[hybrid plover]

yeah you’re right. make halo fortnite

[cedar turret]

But at least it's not sprint or how many melees should kill

Halo started off closer to fortnite than you seem to think.

[hybrid plover]

bro what 😭

there’s no winning here. i hold my opinion

[candid solar]

Even had some of the first major crossovers I know of with entirely off theme games.

[hybrid plover]

i’m not about to wall text you my take. so i agree or whatever

[candid solar]

Fable, Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden, I'm sure I'm missing more.

I was about to say 'Duke Nukem Forever' but that's more just a hypocritical bad-faith jab at Halo in a game that honestly doesn't deserve the effort to criticize.

[hybrid plover]

kill chief

[spice cairn]

literally no reason for that, kill palmer

or someone on blue team

[candid solar]

Literally no reason for that at all, kill Thel.

Oh, or Rtas.

[spice cairn]

my arbie??
hell no

[candid solar]

Gotta go with the character equivalent of a MAC round in atmosphere.

Really get people's attention.

[spice cairn]

i'd be ok with rtas dying

[hybrid plover]

ugh halo is just so boring now

[spice cairn]

i wonder why...

[hybrid plover]

dead game

[hybrid plover]

fr lool

[spice cairn]

343

[hybrid plover]

cuz they don’t take chances. i don’t care about your grappling hook that’s not a real chance

how much longer can we milk chief until people just don’t care. kicking a dead horse

[spice cairn]

maybe they should add spartan speed

[hybrid plover]

yeah that’ll show em. people will buy the game for that

[spice cairn]

it'll get the bookworms to

[hybrid plover]

even ezio died

[spice cairn]

kill linda

[fickle drift]

The scene in Revelations beneath Masyaf is one of my favorite in fiction.

[worldly sedge]

Then why are you here lol? Dont you have better things to do then waste your words and energy hating on things that aren’t necessary?

[spice cairn]

right lol

[candid solar]

I remember playing Revelation's Multiplayer a good bit. Not a bad game, I enjoyed it.

[hybrid plover]

with Altair? actual peak

[hybrid plover]

i say that out of love and disappointment

[worldly sedge]

I am not convinced, there is more to that

[hybrid plover]

idc

[worldly sedge]

Okay buddy lol

[hybrid plover]

🤷 just being honest. i don’t care

[worldly sedge]

Not uncommon to have trolls here everyday

[spice cairn]

right?

[hybrid plover]

i’m not trolling lol

[spice cairn]

if you don't care then stop typing

[hybrid plover]

are you happy with where halo is as a franchise?

[hybrid plover]

i’m saying i don’t care if he thinks im lying

[spice cairn]

then don't have a conversation with him

[candid solar]

You can be unhappy with a franchise's direction and fundamentally disagree on why, or how to express it.

[hybrid plover]

thanks

[hybrid plover]

yeah and i’m just trying to express. i see it’s hitting a nerve and i understand why

[spice cairn]

making fun of a franchise that this server is built on what'd you think would happen

[hybrid plover]

have a conversation about halo in a halo discord?!

[candid solar]

Most people here are not very invested in another negative conversation about how Halo has 'fallen' from something it never actually had as a primary element.

It becomes rote. Maybe if you were more constructive in that criticism, it'd be more effective.

[hybrid plover]

be honest. do you feel it’s fallen?

[brave prairie]

No

[spice cairn]

not all the way

[hybrid plover]

or on a downtrend

and you don’t have a say if you weren’t around back then

[brave prairie]

Once halo has Lady Gaga armor then I would say it has fallen

[candid solar]

Actually, they do have a say, they are functioning people with working neurological systems.

[hybrid plover]

bruh

[spice cairn]

i was born in 2001 why shouldn't i have a say

[hybrid plover]

😭 holy

[spice cairn]

you can still analyze all the games at any age to see if it's fallen or not man.

[hybrid plover]

yeah no duh it was a joke relax

[brave prairie]

I wouldn’t say halo is on a downtrend rn. Infinite was at first but now it’s better. Maybe a little too late but I don’t make the decisions for the studio or MS

[cedar turret]

or you could do something that isn't the equivalent of navel gazing with a pair of x-ray specs on

[hybrid plover]

it’s better now? really?

[spice cairn]

yep

[brave prairie]

With all the modes they have right now, yes

[candid solar]

Certainly on an upward trend from where it was when it came out.

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean you cant disagree that it is in a better state than launch, content wise

[hybrid plover]

okay compared to being actually dead maybe it’s better. sure

[candid solar]

I still remember being livid about the first long break they did.

[obsidian wyvern]

now the player count is another story

[brave prairie]

If they had all those modes at launch then it would’ve been pure cinema

[hybrid plover]

what modes in particular

[obsidian wyvern]

there were like 4 modes at launch, so itd be hard to name all the new ones lol

[fickle drift]

I think starting with anything that launched in CE would be a good baseline to start with.
So King of the Hill, for one.

[spice cairn]

the new firefights are pretty good

[hybrid plover]

firefights. right

they aren’t good at all. there’s two maps. it’s fun for a day

[spice cairn]

they're still good

[fickle drift]

A purpose-built Firefight would've been nice, I could never get over a sense of jank Infinite's PvE has to it.

[normal owl]

It's fine to discuss constructively, but do not gatekeep. Everyone who can access the game has a say. Halo is not a membership where legacy and experience grant a greater right to give input. It's a consumer product accessed and/or purchased by anyone who is able to do so. That's the whole extent of "credibility" to criticize it.

[hybrid plover]

sure i liked firefights. but got bored fast

[spice cairn]

yeah, it'd be nice to have more than two maps but 343 doesn't have enough people working on halo infinite rn

[brave prairie]

Juggernaut and classic firefight are my favs

[candid solar]

I don't feel like booting up the actual game right now because I'm currently rotting on the couch procrastinating doing dishes, but I know there's a lot more than 2 maps.

[spice cairn]

new firefight mode

[hybrid plover]

for firefight no

unless something changed very recently

[candid solar]

That's not firefight. That's a mini campaign mission.

[obsidian wyvern]

firefight has a lot more than 2 maps

[spice cairn]

that's it's name

[fickle drift]

Haven't heard of Firefighter, did they add an engine and extinguisher? That'd be novel.

[candid solar]

There is an entire dedicated firefight playlist.

[cedar turret]

It has a striking lack of dalmations.

[candid solar]

It is not the current featured playlist.

[hybrid plover]

okay i was wrong about that. my fault lol

[cedar turret]

How are you going to collect enough for a new skin if you don't see any?

[candid solar]

Axtinguisher+flamethrower when?

[hybrid plover]

the gatekeeper comment was a joke. but i do think to have a full understanding it does help to have been around when these games were releasing. yk

[candid solar]

Can't wait to play combo pyro in Halo.

[fickle drift]

Genuinely I'd love the Flamethrower back, more akin to the CE one than H3.

[spice cairn]

yeah the featured playlist only has the two maps, it's called "Firefight : Battle Of The Academy"

[obsidian wyvern]

pls god let jun die in this random story

[candid solar]

Because it's two mini campaign missions, not really firefight.

[fickle drift]

Diet SpOps.

[normal owl]

"full understanding" is not any prerequesite or qualification to be able to give input. Games--and the market expectations--are very different in 2025 than twenty-four years ago: literally a generation.

[candid solar]

Poor thing's starving, really.

[hybrid plover]

again. it was a joke

[fickle drift]

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-controversial-yet-so-brave-controversial-brave-gif-12046682

[hybrid plover]

and obviously it does help

[obsidian wyvern]

itd be funny af

stupid af too but we ignore that

[normal owl]

You might want to follow the Hanar method and give context then because your content isn't doing it lol

[hybrid plover]

i don’t think i will. thanks tho

[spice cairn]

Not even random lol, it's been the multiplayer story since the infection season, ever since they fired joe staten it's been stopped

[fickle drift]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-america-i-understood-that-reference-look-back-gif-14556485

[normal owl]

then neither will the rest of us be mind readers and know that you're joking.

[obsidian wyvern]

they didnt fire joe

[fickle drift]

Although you might've meant Elcor Attorney

[hybrid plover]

it’s not that deep man

[obsidian wyvern]

i doubt joe had much of a hand in the multiplayer story

[fickle drift]

Since the Hanar speak in a detached manor and Elcor are the ones that preface sentences with their emotional state

[normal owl]

ok now I am embarrassed. You are right and I am shamefully wrong.

[obsidian wyvern]

and its still a pretty random story

[fickle drift]

lol it's okay

[normal owl]

I'm genuinely upset that I mixed that up as a Mass Effect lover lol

[obsidian wyvern]

no one can even play it at this point, to see everything itd have to be through 3rd party youtube videos

[fickle drift]

Big stupid jellyfish ruining everything

[normal owl]

Agreed! Which means your criticisms aren't also that deep, nor does anyone else's experience have to be that deep to have as valid of an opinion as yours.

[hybrid plover]

yeah exactly. take your own advice

[candid solar]

Still not convinced that Staten did much to really help. Too many cooks and all that.

[normal owl]

I am. I'm not the one making criticisms of the game.

[candid solar]

Plus it's kind of a bad look when you ditch to join Netflix' gaming division right after.

[fickle drift]

afaik he advocated for the Marine side objectives and got them over the finish line. Beyond that I'm not clued up on.

[hybrid plover]

cool

[normal owl]

Great! Glad you're on the same page now.

[fickle drift]

The marines that are at no-point accounted for in the broader narrative.

[candid solar]

allegedly he is responsible for 'trimming the fat' for the campaign... so likely responsible for the really weird points unlock system.

[hybrid plover]

okay lol

yeesh

[candid solar]

Like, allegedly he's why there's no crafting system, and behind a gutting of at least part of the plot.

[cedar turret]

Let's build the perfect sandwich

[fickle drift]

Is that the one that's on Forbidden

[candid solar]

I'm not sure how true it is-most former Halo employees I've ever known tend to go radio silent for one reason or another. But if even half of it is true, I'm not super convinced of his assistance.

[candid solar]

Medium rare chicken?

[cedar turret]

I was thinking more bacon, but whatever floats your baot

[candid solar]

On the triple stack ground pounder?

[spice cairn]

lettuce

[indigo lotus]

Maybe an ice cream sandwich

[cedar turret]

Bacon on a buttered roll, bit of ketchup.

Alternateively cheddar and gouda on french bread grilled exquisitely

[hybrid plover]

reach 2

electric boogaloo

[obsidian wyvern]

theyre gonna ask for your execution

(valid)

[hybrid plover]

😵

[spice cairn]

cheese wizz

[candid solar]

It's just a timelapse of Six's helmet slowly rusting away. Not even any actual gameplay.

[molten pelican]

What

[spice cairn]

spoon

[hybrid plover]

it’s a series of all their suits rusting away. while jorge’s stays perfect in space

[peak trench]

Put you in between bread and DONE

Nah, you couldn't afford to eat me

Try some turkey or a steak instead

[trim saddle]

You're acting like a sourdough

[ocean herald]

Makes me think of that halo cookbook

[peak trench]

I just wanted to say you're perfect das alllll

Das a good book

[ocean herald]

Did any of yall actually buy it?

[obsidian wyvern]

@/stckr

[trim saddle]

Do you want to talk about it a little moa?

[ocean herald]

I heard the Reach recipes all involve putting the meal into an oven until burnt to a crisp

[obsidian wyvern]

sand in an oven is more accurate

[ocean herald]

Too soon

[trim saddle]

Glassblowing class held by a local sangheili lol

[obsidian wyvern]

i will never ever get over them drifting in the sky just to glass the planet

peak halo

[verbal nymph]

I wish Rtas Vadum got to keep his green eyes he had in H2 classic

[dire nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-banished-rage-fury-macaco-gif-25226900

Oh c'mon.

[trim saddle]

Oh darn

[dire nebula]

Why do GIFs don't work on this server?

[trim saddle]

No img perms 🤷🏻

[ocean herald]

I haven’t been in here as much, feels like there hasn’t been much new “future project” news lately

[trim saddle]

So the normal practice weve had for years about releases.

[ocean herald]

As much as I had my issues with the halo show I kinda wanted another network to buy it 😞.

Other than that I think remember a halo board game

Oh and I guess the ue5 announcement

[trim saddle]

The board game came out already. It has minifigs

[obsidian wyvern]

scrap continuing that show, make something completely different

[ocean herald]

Yeah it’s been awhile. Was meaning there just hasn’t been much new stuff with the ip

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe prime can hit the nail on the head again

[ocean herald]

They have the budget

[trim saddle]

OH true, I misunderstood.

[obsidian wyvern]

cant wait for fallout season 2

[ocean herald]

Going “silver” timeline in retrospect was probably a bad call

[hybrid plover]

isn’t the halo show cancelled?

[ocean herald]

Should be peak

[obsidian wyvern]

i think it was them looking for another company to pick up the rights to continuing or smthn

[ocean herald]

Tlou season 2 has been a bit rocky. Need fallout to restore my faith in game adaptations again

[obsidian wyvern]

and looks like no one did/wanted it lol

[hybrid plover]

oo yeah that does sounds familiar. i think you’re right

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe that gears of war movie will be good too
