[desert bridge]

I’d tell them to fix these damn servers lmao

[spice quest]

LoL yeah, I doubt they would have their actual offices be open for the public whenever. It's a business, afterall

But I'm sure they have special tours that they announce for events like that. Kind of like how Valve used to do many moons ago in Seattle

[lament eagle]

HA HA HA

[steady jolt]

It's not possible to just drop by, community members are only allowed in at specific times - usually in groups around big events, and generally by invitation only.

Almost every time we win too

Someone's booting me offline I just can't prove it..

I feel you. I opened Instagram for the first time in months the other day. My algorithm was completely back to ground zero: mishmash of TikTok-esque randomness. Closed app and am not incentivized to open it again.

[tacit pebble]

Hello guys, I’m new to Halo so I kinda need some help getting started, I started watching Halo (the series) but idk if it’s gonna tell me a lot abt the lore (I dont have the games yet so its all I got 😓)

[worldly venture]

The halo tv show?

Gotta read the books, the show is only good for hype moments and aura

Though like, mostly just hype moments. No one has aura in that but Vannek

[waxen rose]

I only like the show because it gives a little bit more character to miranda

[waxen rose]

Dont hate on my girl… whatever her name is with pink-and-blonde hair

[tacit pebble]

How much do the books usually cost?

[worldly venture]

Riz!!

Or Kai i forgot

[worldly venture]

Idk maybe 5 dolla

[noble wyvern]

Imagine a super halo

[waxen rose]

New halo books are 19 bucks

[worldly venture]

What if I don't want to, huh, "Tails"?

[waxen rose]

between 13 to 19 depending on the length

[noble wyvern]

A ring that kill everything from reality s to universes you name it etc

[worldly sedge]

If I recall, the Halo Encyclopedia is like $70 or something

[waxen rose]

Its 50 where I am 😭

[cedar turret]

50 kelvin? or Latitude?

[halcyon mica]

50 degrees on the Rankine scale

Tons aren’t a unit of measurement accepted in the server.

Temperature is measured in kelvin
Volume is measured in cans of beans
Weight is measured in red ringed Xbox 360s
Height is also measured in stacked cups

[waxen rose]

I am being crushed

[rare cedar]

Did you know “buttload” was an actual term of measurement based on weight?

Hello

[sullen pawn]

It’s been awhile since I really played the games but like what is the banished end goal is just to be the most powerful faction
Like why did they kill the human scientists on the ark instead of just capturing them
I know they let humans join their ranks but for gameplay reasons can’t be really shown

[burnt abyss]

i am new here and i need a friend i am living alone

[glad aspen]

JUST MADE MY FIRST KILLIONAIRE

[burnt olive]

Ah, Husky Raid CTF lol

I got my first killionaire there too

what was your combo?

[glad aspen]

gravity hammer+doom music

[burnt olive]

now that's more like it, I gotta do try it with a mutilator one day

[worldly venture]

They hate the UNSC, so maybe that's a hint

[sullen pawn]

Eh? Hate is a strong word the banished simply want to be the strongest and only faction

[worldly venture]

Yea its a strong word and it absolutely works here, do yk what the unsc did to them?

[sullen pawn]

Made the ai that blew up the brute home world?

[worldly venture]

Yea, exactly. I think thats a good enough reason to hate them specifically lmao

They hate the existence of the UNSC and don't want to be ruled by false prophets or truthtellers

[tight remnant]

It also did go against the UNSC and pretty much everyone else who did not submit. But I'll say, in many ways the Banished does do and become the things it hates

[hearty flame]

I don't think the Banished cared about their homeworkd

Weren't they already exiled from it for decades by that point?

[faint mantle]

The destruction of their homeworld meant almost complete extinction of the Jiralhanae. Now to mention a good chunk of their history and culture gone.
You don't need to care about politics when the primal sense of family and loss is present.

[latent anchor]

Thoughts on Ghost of Reach anyone?

[jade gust]

I'd be pretty upset if I was someone raised on a distant human colony and suddenly learnt Earth was destroyed

[burnt olive]

Is it the fan film or the song? 🤔

[sullen pawn]

The arbiter was lowkey dropping one liners and chief was just like nah you don’t exist

[latent anchor]

The new game that’s supposedly coming out next year

It’s suppose to be like a what if noble 6 survived

[burnt olive]

...oh dear.

[latent anchor]

Yeah…

If they mess this this up..

Damn I went back and looked it back up. I read it wrong it is a fan film

[jade gust]

If it's what I think you're talking about, I have very little reason to care for it given who it is made by (Also thought it was a fan film, not a fan game)

[latent anchor]

Ye I went back, misread it

Wish me luck spartans

Lol

[gloomy oriole]

After failing to find any guide about this online and eventually resorting to asking ChatGPT for help, I'm happy to verify that the Alpha Ring split-screen mod for Halo MCC works on macOS

It does have some hitches/stuttering (probably due to my Mac having only 8GB of RAM), but I'm just impressed I was able to get it working in the first place

[blazing cave]

Halo on Mac?!!!

[burnt olive]

Damn deep cut lol

If it comes with cheese though....

[grave lichen]

I tried to play it in a crhomebook and it worked

With extreme low graphics and burning

[blazing cave]

I think my mac will explode

I mean this thing struggles to use an online calculator lol

[plush oriole]

just freeze your computer components duh

[blazing storm]

Damn

[hexed geyser]

should i get a gaming laptop fo my 10y/o bro

cuz he's been wantiung a gaming pc/laptop for a year

[analog knot]

Do you want the real life adult answer, or the meme-discord response

[hexed geyser]

etheir answer works

[desert bridge]

Xbox is cheaper lmao

[analog knot]

Adult Answer: Nobody here has the context to answer your question. Theres a bunch of other details. Can you afford it? What alternatives are you considering, if any?

Assuming all of the stars have already aligned and you just want confirmation, a gaming laptop for most people isnt the end of the world 😄

[obsidian wyvern]

he asks questions like these like every 4 days

[hexed geyser]

sorry

[analog knot]

Dont be sorry, learn and adjust and go next

[desert bridge]

Why does he have a similar bio to revenant lmao

[hybrid plover]

morning halo

[hexed geyser]

lol

[obsidian wyvern]

im just thinking save your money instead of trying to buy something new every other day

didnt you buy him an xbox a while ago

[hexed geyser]

no

[hearty flame]

An Xbox can't open Microsoft Word

[hexed geyser]

but im getting $2500

[blazing storm]

True

[desert bridge]

Why does a 10 year old need that

[hearty flame]

Besides, gaming laptop? That's an Xbox now

[hearty flame]

I've been using Word for a very long time. Typing assignments out has always been faster than handwriting them.

[desert bridge]

Yea because a 10 year old gots to pay the bills lmfao

[obsidian wyvern]

I feel like that would cause more issues for a 10 year old than anything

[hearty flame]

Yeah? Explain

[obsidian wyvern]

wanting to play something and it not working off the bat. his original console questions were better

and yeah I thought of the "I've been using a pc since I was little, I was fine" argument. bleh

[hexed geyser]

ok 'ill get him the series s & switch 2 instead

[desert bridge]

Debate Cord

[obsidian wyvern]

now we wait 4 days

[obsidian wyvern]

at 10 years old the teachers are gonna want them to use paper though

[hearty flame]

Parental controls exist

[hearty flame]

And that's fine, but in a couple years he's going to be switching to Word anyways because highschool is when they start doing essays. If their highschool is anything like my younger sibling's, can be typed, for example

[hybrid plover]

my xbox account is older than 10 years

more like 17

[obsidian wyvern]

that's not what I meant

games will have a lot more issues than they would on a console

[obsidian wyvern]

ok and at that point they can get a laptop lol, at 10 years old they're realistically not gonna be playing much other than like Fortnite and Roblox

I've got a 10 year old brother, that's what most of his class plays so that's what he plays with them

he'll occasionally play halo against my dad on the Xbox or war for Cybertron when none of his friends are on. a console is fine, and way cheaper

[mortal field]

my stepson gets the choice and has had the choice since 5th grade.... america is cooked

wrong reply

[mortal field]

this is what i meantg to reply to

[normal owl]

This was premium football. What a game! "If every game in the NFL was like this one, we'd never leave our homes."
https://www.nfl.com/news/lions-ravens-on-monday-night-football-what-we-learned-from-detroit-s-38-30-win-over-baltimore

I know they want them to use paper here to also practice their handwriting

[blazing cave]

Halo Infinite’s tech flights were 4 years ago 🥹

[naive turret]

Better times, well in here anyway.

[valid portal]

there's a reason why people praise developers when they turn unintended movement tech into an actual feature

[blazing cave]

Live Fire map, my beloved ❤️‍🔥

[hearty flame]

No way the Lions were actually worth watching for once 💀

This will only give the Canadians more ideas

[candid tusk]

You missed last year's season?

[normal owl]

Must've been years since you tuned in. They've been ascendant for a while now.

Just had the new office internet installed and the technician and I had to gush about the game for a while. Just too good.

[hearty flame]

I don't actually watch football, I've just been bullying my mom for years because her and my stepdad have been lions fans for decades

Lots of Canadians go to Lions games because it's the closest venue iirc

[normal owl]

They're true honolulu blue: One Pride.

[hearty flame]

As long as they're not Leafs fans I guess

[waxen rose]

I cant remember the last time the ravens were a hot topic to talk about

Glad to see Lions love though

[jade gust]

I've become a completely different person since those days... Which is weird to think about

[waxen rose]

Eon character growth love to see it

[burnt olive]

I'm having cookies for breakfast, ama.

[hasty zinc]

I cant remember the last time the ravens were a hot topic to talk about
tell me about it

[normal owl]

That was a Super Bowl-worthy throwdown we had though: awesome football.

[silk hare]

Halo x Dead By Daylight

Jega ´Rdomnai for DBD Killer

[hasty zinc]

it was pretty good ngl

[hearty flame]

There's a lot of options for killers if you wanted to do a Halo crossover. Jenga would have been a better option when Infinite release. I think a Flood character with multiple forms would be much better now.

[indigo lotus]

The 4 NFL teams to pay attention (pending) is usually the Chiefs, Bills, Ravens and the Lions. They have been hot or on a good roll for the last couple seasons.

[muted rose]

Like Dracula?

[hybrid plover]

deftones is so good

[burnt olive]

dunno man, I'd like a bit more Minecraft crossovers since Halo's been in MC before lol

anyone owned the Halo mashup back in the day?

[dreamy stirrup]

Not quite that and more the me that was me back in those days died (metaphorically speaking) and now I'm someone else

[waxen rose]

Eon became a butterfly love to see it

Left your cocoon and spread your wings

[worldly venture]

Im a fake fan, I haven't heard a lot of it 😭

All I know is like uh...Beware...uuuuuuuuhhh

[waxen rose]

I gotta throw you in a lake with no floaties for that

[worldly venture]

Brah im new to this i only got into it so far cus it was on my friend's story 💔

[waxen rose]

I personally like Around the Fur but ik most deaftones fans love White Pony or Diamond Eyes

[worldly venture]

I should listen to those eventually...

[waxen rose]

If I catch a Ohms fan in the wild I will combust

[lone creek]

Halo is so bad now a days

[worldly venture]

Whats Ohms

Also whos the girl on that one cover

Since ur the superest super fan of deftones

[waxen rose]

Ohms is a album

I am Deftones’ #7 biggest fan actually

I dont think the eyes on the cover for ohms is even supposed to be any particular lady

You could infer it might be Lisa( the girl on the cover for Around the Fur) but I honestly dont know

[worldly venture]

Who's the other 6

[waxen rose]

Theyre lost to time

(I forgot their names)

[worldly venture]

😭

[waxen rose]

Im actually nine inch nails #1 biggest fan so I can answer any queary you have for nin

[worldly venture]

Whats the most popular song by em

[waxen rose]

Closer or Hurt I think

Everyone loved Hurt because Johnny Cash wrote it

[worldly venture]

Oh yea I heard that recently, friend was playing it

[waxen rose]

Its a good song, I just prefer the nin version (because I gotta stay the outliar)

Reminds me I haven't listened to the track nin made for the TRON movie

[amber mirage]

Fake fan confirmed

[waxen rose]

NO PLEASE IM REAL FAN

dont banish me to the fakery realm

[burnt olive]

better, you will be sent to the Domain

[waxen rose]

NOOO

I will listen to The Hand that Feeds for 72 hours non stop to make up for my transgression

[worldly venture]

Is that bad

[waxen rose]

The song is good
72 hours of it isnt

[worldly venture]

Are you speaking from experience

[waxen rose]

Yes. Genuinely😭

Used to be the only song I would listen to for weeks and weeks like two years ago

[valid portal]

reminds me of somehow having 700 plays of collective consciousness according to my ipod play history
I don't know how this happened

[merry vortex]

I have a meme I made and I want to share it here

Is there a designated chat?

They're probably next on my backlog collection, now that I have Coheed's back catalog on pre-order

[waxen rose]

Gore mentioned omg I am jumping up and down

Reminds me that I might wanna buy the private music cd

[steady jolt]

New album is so good. I remember having Gore on repeat for like 3 months

[obsidian wyvern]

[waxen rose]

This is so real

[stuck wind]

How were you when you fought them

[obsidian wyvern]

wdym

[sinful beacon]

Sounds good

[stuck wind]

Like when you fought them were they easy or hard

You just need good crowd control weapons and you’re set

[hybrid perch]

hey can anyone here offer me any guidance

i recently got the xbox mastercard which is supposed to come with a game pass ultimate code right after making your first purchase with the card. however the code is only for "new" xbox live subscriptions

i never got sent a code, and got bounced back and forth from the card retailer and xbox customer support. now i'm told it will take 2-4 weeks to recieve the code

so what in the world was the point of the code in the first place if it can take a month after even getting the credit card in the first place? is the player just not supposed to use game pass for a whole month just to remain eligible for the code?

[obsidian wyvern]

discord.gg/xbox

[hybrid perch]

thanks

[obsidian wyvern]

if they were easy i dont think id be complaining

was playing against them today, we had endless waves right at the start for no reason

there werent any ships nearby, their floating diamond thing was being killed before it could call for reinforcements

and then all the enemies are tanky as hell

its pretty fun fighting like 7 fleshmobs at once

you disrespect the mantle of responsibility

[waxen rose]

I ain’t a human

The mantle therefore cannot fall upon me

[forest fossil]

the drones followed the covenant and the great journey and the covenant used the mantle so if the covenant found the mantle the buggers would be forced into it

nothing is stopping you from doing the math on that

[hybrid plover]

might even get some extra credit

wait am i allowed to reply to you? idk

[waxen rose]

Please tell me the velocity and potential energy of the halo grenade jump NOW or you will FAIL my class

Master chief (every time he does a grenade jump) sits down for 10 minutes and calculates it all in the middle of battle
You should be able to do it too

If it’s okay to share here, I recently wrote an article about how Halo Infinite helped me overcome my fear of FPS games and actually start enjoying them. 🌈✨💙
It’s in English (translated from Japanese), so I’d be happy if anyone gives it a read!

Might be better suited to post in #1076327824924872755, but congrats either way :3

[celest gate]

Who do y'all believe would win in a War:
The Covenant
Or the Banished (Halo Infinite - Present)

[faint mantle]

@rare cedar reading time

[neat rock]

Thank you! I’ll share it in show-and-tell too. 🌈✨💙

[cosmic monolith]

Hell yeah! As an Indian, CS2, Valorant or the free FPS games are really popular here but they never stuck with me. I heard Infinite was going free, played it and never looked back. It only game alongside Minecraft where I have 2000+ hours in.

[rare cedar]

Kawaii!!! I’ll take a read after work

[neat rock]

Thank you for sharing about the FPS games popular in India! 🌏
In Japan, VALORANT and APEX are also very popular, but they were too difficult for me. 😅
Halo Infinite, though, feels friendly not only for advanced players but also for beginners like me — and that’s what I love about it! 💙✨

[cosmic monolith]

I guess the reason why Halo seems easier than other FPS-es is likely due to:

• Slower TTK.
• Easy to learn, hard to master.
• Falls as an Arena Shooter.

When I started to first play, I was trying to run, gun & smack.
I don't like Apex, battle royales aren't my cup of tea...
Valorant, um that's a mess for me, 😭.

[waxen rose]

“I wonder if there are some new cheeses on the moon”

That makes me so happy, thank you!! You’re super cool too!! 💙🌟

Hello

[late ivy]

You like Des Miserables?

[blazing cave]

It’s going to be Halo Infinite 2 😊

[waxen rose]

I’m a professional hater

[naive turret]

Him surviving is a pretty solid reason to dislike him.

Throwing your Nightfall run multiple times even moreso.

[sullen pawn]

Kinda sucks that the spartan that was added to Fortnite was so basic imagine if it had some customization like the mandos

Kinda sucks it doesn’t use the mark 7 helmet my goat

I watched it once

[late ivy]

That's funny

[pulsar heron]

good morning gamers 💪

[halcyon mica]

HOLA TORA!

[signal wedge]

also his name is pronounced like my name in English so.

[obsidian wyvern]

member rech, nvr 4get.

[restive star]

Question for everyone. Is it just me or is making friends on halo practically impossible today?

[naive turret]

I can only speak personally but I've met some of my best friends through Halo.

And I do mean within the past half decade as well as before.

[restive star]

I did to when I was I a kid. But tbh today it seems impossible

[compact herald]

rech

[valid portal]

I've heard of people running into the same people on MCC, suggesting that mcc is really struggling to get new players aboard

[compact herald]

in other games in general, people are starting to become more introverted

[restive star]

Understandable

[restive star]

Fr

[valid portal]

It kinda sucks that 95 times out of 100 when I type something in chat, complete silence from everybody else, never chatting the entire game

also no pregame lobby makes this a bit worse

[compact herald]

due to the conditions of the world, people have changed. No one has the motivation to get along, chat, be positive, etc

[restive star]

When I was growing up halo used to social a party game for you and your friends. But now its just toxic/sweats

[valid portal]

and why do we need skill matchmaking in casual when we have low player counts, we just need people in lobbies period.

[valid portal]

the sweats are why I can only find fun in doing private lobbies with friends or setting up a LAN party

[restive star]

Also Sorry for my terrible typing

[restive star]

Fr

[valid portal]

I never got to grow up with halo but
it sucks to see mcc in this state
I love alot of these games regardless of their aged visuals (4 is the exception, I despise that ones multiplayer)

[restive star]

It is. Tbh I'm heartbroken to see my childhood game be like this today

I guess I'll just have to keep looking for friends tbh

[ember lake]

I actually have had some decent success finding different lobbies in mcc recently

But it’s definitely not as much as it used to be which is unfortunate

[restive star]

I know how you feel bro

[valid portal]

im also still scared about cheaters
or the anti cheat possibly giving me a false positive because of me hearing reports of linux users getting temp banned for a false positive

is the cheating still a problem?

[restive star]

A false positive?

[ember lake]

I haven’t run into any cheaters in mcc

[restive star]

I have

[valid portal]

are you playing on Xbox with cross platform matchmaking disabled?

[restive star]

Aimbotters or people who can go invisible

Ect

[valid portal]

I've tried playing on Xbox to avoid this problem but people are even more silent on xbox

and also finding a lobby of Xbox players using keyboard is next to impossible

[naive surge]

A false positive would be the anticheat detecting youre cheating when youre not

[restive star]

Ah ok

[pulsar heron]

if you get hit by a false positive ban, you can appeal it and have it removed. from what i hear, the team are quite receptive and quick about that

[ember lake]

Ye I play on Xbox, but I’m pretty sure cross play is enabled

[restive star]

I ran into a a lot of them on reach custom games

[ember lake]

I mostly just play without any search filter and let the game take me to wherever lmao

[valid portal]

o

I could probably do that then if I do get a false positive
still a bit scared about the idea of bans being on record
and also cheaters using the identity of other peoples gamer tags unless that's been fixed, I've been living under a rock

[restive star]

Speaking about gamer tags ran into a guy with a barcode name

[waxen rose]

Recon dad is awake wow

[trim saddle]

thats just someone that uses capital i and lowercase L alternating between

[naive surge]

Still haven't found a chocolate coin that tastes good

[waxen rose]

[naive turret]

You'll want to take the wrapper off first

[trim saddle]

the wrapper gives it more texture

[restive star]

Chocolate bunnies taste better

[trim saddle]

[waxen rose]

Does anyone also eat the fruits with the stickers still on
I think the stickers count as a fun little extra treat

[naive surge]

Its always more tangy that hersheys somehow

[naive turret]

Genuinely they've started with advent calendars around here too, mental

No respect for getting Halloween out of the way first

[restive star]

Uhh no? Are they coated with toxic chemicals?

They dont even put chocolate in the calendars here

[drowsy coyote]

I hope I never find out the context of this

[hybrid plover]

i really do think killing off master chief could be beneficial and act as a great powerful story line

that’s not rage bait either

what’s wrong with having a new “master chief”

[valid portal]

kinda ruins his luck trait

I just think the story needs to step away from chief

[hybrid plover]

he’s had plenty of luck! regardless of his death you can’t take his legacy

[sinful olive]

What is going on

[valid portal]

although halo 3 implies chief is dead, ish
so if you only looked at Bungie lore, or took a time machine back to 2011 or earlier
chief may or may not ever be found
rookie never died
humanity's struggling as they only have their home planet left, I'm pretty sure sangheilis were struggling too after the war?

[hybrid plover]

he was just in cryo sleep

[valid portal]

that's why I said ish
he may or may not ever been found

[sinful olive]

读完这些我头疼

[hybrid plover]

im saying he officially dies

it’s a whole dramatic thing

bros gone gone

[trim saddle]

Theres a lot of stories that could be told outside of the Chief. A lot of untapped gold in the Halo universe.

[hybrid plover]

right! they can end off with chief dying. Then Halo Studios can focus on some more spinoffy things whatever that be, new Halo Wars etc, then eventually make the new flagship title continuing what happens after chief dies

[trim saddle]

I think they can leave it off as Chief is MIA and they can go do other stories.

[hybrid plover]

i think that would garner a lot of hype also

which is what halo needs…

[trim saddle]

put him in a hushed casket for a few games.

[hybrid plover]

but that’s been done already

how many times can chief go MIA until he just dies…

[trim saddle]

Spartans are pretty resilient, especially chief with his luck.

[hybrid plover]

i understand that

[trim saddle]

I just dont think actually killing him off is a good idea, let him retire or something else.

[hybrid plover]

retire yeah. it would just be refreshing to see a new face

have a new character to kinda bond with

daydream about

tho i still think the reaction to chief actually dying would get alot more people interested

would bring back a lot of old fans who don’t really play anymore

[forest lagoon]

It would definitely create a lot of conversation... that's for sure

[hybrid plover]

they would have to perfectly execute it. that’s the catch

[valid portal]

it'd also come off to alot of people as

343 shooting their childhood character and replacing him

people would not be happy

a slap in the face

[forest lagoon]

It would be an onslaught of "They got rid of 343, made Halo studios, just to kill halo?" no matter how it's handled

[placid tree]

(Almost like how Halo 3 intended his story to finish lol)

[naive turret]

It's either CE was his intended end or they had plans for their own H4, no inbetween.
Both are true

[naive surge]

dont have a big opinion on if he should die or not just as long as its in game and not in a comic or blogpost. dont really get the idea itd make spinoffs more possible, the only thing stopping spinoffs is microsoft and halostudios not doing them. the halo wars games, spartan assault/strike, odst and reach all did pretty great and none of them needed chief to be dead.

[valid portal]

halo 3 tied it up way too nicely for a halo 4 to be completely planned

[forest lagoon]

I liked Halo 4 and remember thinking that the ending meant that Cortana was fragmented across the universe and that Halo 5 would be about him trying to piece her back together again

[valid portal]

yes there's the legendary ending, but everything else ties it up

[trim saddle]

I mean, we can do both side stories and chief focused games.

[naive turret]

And yet the Legendary ending exists. Bungie had ideas that were shelved when they settled on a prequel with Reach.
Truly the worst outcome but at least we got ODST.

I'm not a fan of killing Chief. We haven't committed to an arc he's been on yet, and none of the current antagonists feel like suitable threats to justify him going out.

[hybrid plover]

it would absolutely have to be in the game i agree. And true, my idea isn’t really taking into consideration Corpos decision making, i’m just saying what i think would be cool and potentially revive interest in halo.

[valid portal]

it'd also be a slap in the face to long time fans, and makes the villain come off as "he's stronger than chief, wow!" like it's infinite from sonic forces, one of the worser sonic villains because he's over the top, trying to be the ultimate villain and overly edgy, reminds me of skull face in a way

[naive surge]

fr. prophets silenced, flood dammed, didact sent to summer camp, cortana dead again, endless ended, escharum was a bro, and atriox is a penpal at most who promises he'll make it for the holidays this year but wont commit to a date

[trim saddle]

If chief lived through the start of infinite, that should show that hes not going to die.

[hybrid plover]

it’s not just about killing chief, that will get the attention. It’s more so about what they do after… And i think that challenge of having to continue halo without chief could birth some awesome creative ideas

[forest lagoon]

The only way I can see it working is if his death ends up being necessary to stop an actual threat. Not a 1v1 villain but his actions like having to seal in the flood causing their permeant destruction or something like that.

But we just got the Weapon as a whole new addition so it feels like whiplash if they were to do that in the very next game

[trim saddle]

like "oh we get a new cortana and a new chief?"

[hybrid plover]

and also the implications of an enemy that could kill chief. What’s next? you know

[naive turret]

Queue the Jerome jump cutscene

[valid portal]

if halo as a series was in a better state
an April fools video of chief dying to a sniper jackal would be funny

[hybrid plover]

😐

[hidden axle]

chat

[naive turret]

I think using characters as power-scale yardsticks is something that needs to be handled well.
Cause it can end up feeling contrived and backfiring.

[hidden axle]

if i buy halo master chief colecction on steam in cs2 gives me music?

[hybrid plover]

most definitely. I don’t want to make it seem like what i’m saying is easy to do. Those writers will have to COOK

[valid portal]

on steam in cs2?

[hybrid plover]

if it’s done wrong then it’s jover

[naive turret]

I'm also not really a fan of Chief's defeat being a way to 'put over' a new villain. Again we already had that with Atriox.

And then he dipped for his terminal uncle

[hybrid plover]

well it doesn’t have to go that way

[naive turret]

It goes back to the whole 'more scary than the flood OOooOOOOOooOOO' thing I hate.

They've pulled that twice now.

[valid portal]

I hate this trope so much

[hybrid plover]

it’s the flood v3

but this time it’s actually water

and everything floods 😔

[jade gust]

That's the plot of Doctor Who Waters of Mars

Like, straight up evil water controlling people and trying to infect others

Really good story

[naive surge]

the nanites that upgraded chiefs armor cause a greygoo event

[valid portal]

oh yeah
the nanomachines excuse they used for chiefs armor change in 4 and never mentioned ever again

this isn't metal gear solid 4

[jade gust]

Definitely one of the best for sure

[jade gust]

Well, I don't think shooting water would be effective

So no, evil water being a Halo enemy wouldn't really fit

[naive turret]

You ever see Splash Site on the workshop, pretty cool.

[naive surge]

what changed between ce and the rest of the games that made water kill spartans on impact?

[naive turret]

I mean it doesn't right, infact you can go underwater in certain parts of H3.

[jade gust]

I've played that! Fun map

[naive turret]

In fact it's necessary to go underwater on a LASO run of Sierra if you want to live.

[valid portal]

spartans had very strong hydrophobia
so strong that they die on contact

either that or the water is actually superheated steam

[forest lagoon]

Servos can't handle it

[hybrid plover]

doom guy is new master chief

WAIT! You play as cortana and master chief is in your head

the ole switcharoo

[fossil goblet]

So how is it that I’m plat4 in arena. But I’m playing against a top 200 onyx with a peak of 3200

And a D6

Please make halo infinite make sense

[naive surge]

The matchmaking system tries its best to get you an even match but it'll expand the search parameters to get you a match today instead of later. Because of that if there are not that many people queueing at the same exact time you can get wild matchups

[indigo lotus]

Looks nice. Maybe make an 1980s electric watch. A good sense of nostalgia.

[normal owl]

You have no idea how much I appreciate that! This has been really fun and heartfelt hobby to snag a piece here and there over time.

Watches make an impact on me because time is this very extreme positive/negative: both inexorable in its forward march, yet also one of the only things that connects all of us uniformly no matter where we are.

[waxen rose]

I like to think sangheili makes fun of humans for their big noses
the short time elites and marines got along I like to imagine the elites would flick their noses and laugh

The idea makes me giggle

Even though passed time is always lost and never recoverable, yet what happened in times past can be treasured and immemorial. And watches have an infinite variety of ways/designs to frame that.

infiinite's hit registration is a million times better than halo 3.

I'm not sure why you'd claim otherwise you've been around long enough to know

hey guys, im going to buy halo master chief collection pack
wich one i should start playing? i finished reach a long time ago in xbox and i think i started playing combat evolved, i dunno, it had anniversary edition on its name

[zinc hatch]

Never once heard this in my life.

In fact, one of Infinite's biggest problems was that it had awful hit registration and desync for the majority of it's life cycle.

I heard the desync was kinda fixed, and that was only within the last year or something. The hit registration is still pretty bad though, even on decent ping.

[hybrid plover]

is there any situation where you would be okay with chief dying

[deep night]

Yea, like if he's old enough maybe Jerome will be the next lead, but I doubt chief will die anytime soon

[waxen rose]

Big kaboom

[vagrant kettle]

He defeats the banished, covenant, and the evil forerunners, and then says
“The fight. It’s finished.”
And peacefully dies

CINEMA

No no master chief fights the purple guy from fnaf at freddies the movie and loses but says “I will come back” and doesn't come back

Beautifully written article!! I’m glad Halo helped overcome your fear ☺️ Continue to do great things

[terse blade]

Yay! 🎊

[worldly venture]

They probably make it a lot more enjoyable

[dusty oak]

The Halo Infinite assault rifle hurts my ears

[grand cove]

Much love

[pliant hatch]

play in release order

[modern spoke]

Play Reach first

You know i never played odst and the first time i played it i did it on legendary

I cant believe halo is like almost 20 years old

[hasty zinc]

over 20

[valid portal]

it's nearly 24 I think?

[hasty zinc]

yeah

[worldly venture]

[sterile star]

How do i get into w giveaway does anyone know?

[sullen pawn]

Wrong play ce then 2 then odst then 3 then reach then 4 duh

[sinful olive]

I think I joined the wrong server

[ember lake]

Ye, release order is superior imo

[modern spoke]

2 on legendary is going to be pain

[ember lake]

True

But at least 3 4 and reach will be easy after that lol

[sullen pawn]

Just play the game on heroic for your first time legendary is just ball busting hard in 80% of the halos

[ember lake]

Ye especially ce and 2

The ones after that ain’t too bad tho

[modern spoke]

No pain no gain

[sullen pawn]

3 is the easiest

[ember lake]

Fs

4 second easiest for me

[modern spoke]

3 and odst

[hybrid plover]

am I crazy or does the song from this Trailer have HEAVY Reach music vibes

ignore the Reach comment, it's definitely the Believe Trailer

[rare cedar]

You should tweet that question to Joe Staten

Hey peeps

[safe trail]

Can you find ranked games on MCC?

[abstract pasture]

[forest fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/rvb-halo-good-morning-gif-11422682207770137650

[valid portal]

eh
I did not find fh5 fun, at all

[analog knot]

https://i.imgur.com/L62b2z2.png

(Its technically possible to find games at rank 1, but its veryyyyy timing dependent. Enough so I dont consider it)

Most of the MCC ranked players all had their ranks locked at ~23, thats why the 10-30 window. Searching is 10 up/down, so 13-33 would be more specific

And to answer the inevitable, a cheater came along and modified their profiles forcing them to be stuck at 23. It used to be 2 (a "bad cheater" did this) but then it was changed to 23 (a "good cheater" did this)

[valid portal]

"good" cheater reminds me of the one time in mariokart 7 online when someone made it rain items throughout the course
it was definitely interesting
may as well have been a game type mode that was invented

[mental helm]

finally a new fh game

it's been so long

[molten pelican]

@forest lagoon I will personally commission you to make a panda version of this

[forest lagoon]

I will accept the free commission for the fun of it all

[analog knot]

Typo? Didnt you mean a mantis version

[molten pelican]

both, both is good

[analog knot]

panda-mantis

im biased but approve

[desert bridge]

mantis-panda

[steady jolt]

Tickets booked for Halestorm 🤘

[trim saddle]

nice!

[steady jolt]

Seen them supporting In This Moment, this time my wife and I are catching them headline

Got Thornhill 2 weeks before that as well with my nephew

[waxen rose]

I love it when Steam sells a game 170 dollar game for .3 cents and a hug: its my favorite thing ever (even if I dont personally use steam)

[deep night]

Tried getting back into infinite, not surprising to see a garbage sweatfest of a game

[jade gust]

Have you tried Firefight?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah but they've made better games

[valid portal]

fh5 gave me a McLaren senna within the first hour, completely destroying the point of progression

then again hardly any modern games gives me this "caRPG" (car + RPG) experience

[waxen rose]

go go gadget grapple hook extender

[valid portal]

I have to play older Forza motorsport or fh1, or older Gran turismos for that

[obsidian wyvern]

tbf that was for owning horizon 4

but yes, progression was pretty bad in that game

[deep night]

grapple hook needs 3x not the stupidity of 5x

[obsidian wyvern]

off the bat, I had the horizon 2-4 cover cars lol

[obsidian wyvern]

get good

[valid portal]

is infinite in a self destructive player base phase already

[waxen rose]

go go go go go gadget grapple hook extender

[deep night]

sounded like every modern halo person

[waxen rose]

Is being a modern halo fan suddenly a negative connotation again

[valid portal]

when a games population is mostly or exclusively people who have spent thousands of hours, making it impossible for new players to jump abroad and stick around because they get demolished every match

[obsidian wyvern]

no it isn't

you just don't find games to get demolished

[valid portal]

halo reach's Xbox matchmaking lobbies felt like this to me
can't say for infinite though because I haven't played it in months and it was nearly exclusively custom games

[obsidian wyvern]

in all seriousness, there are players of all skill levels so someone calling it that sweaty is just someone who needs to be better

[hearty flame]

Yeah Infinite is definitely not in its self cannibalizing phase

[valid portal]

good

[hearty flame]

MCC is in its self cannibalization phase

Borderline dead, if not completely dead already

[obsidian wyvern]

that person reminds me of Charlotte so I can't say I'm surprised they said this

[valid portal]

which is why I can only find fun in private lobbies with 2 or more other friends

[waxen rose]

If someone kills me in halo infinate I will find their location(/j)

[hearty flame]

MCC actually saw a numerical doubling of people playing it recently.

They fixed Xbox and Microsoft Store versions of it on PC 🤣

[valid portal]

is it time for me to actually jump on public multiplayer for once?
also wait the Xbox version was busted too?

[obsidian wyvern]

waiting for the hate message

[deep night]

really? So basically the team having 3 flying vehicles and a warthog, and a wraith with dozen of heavy weapons? please tell your not that stupid lol

[waxen rose]

Did bro cook

[obsidian wyvern]

not at all

that's infinites vehicle system being garbage

not the players being sweaty

[hearty flame]

everybody worse than me completely sucks. everyone better than me is a sweaty no-life.

[obsidian wyvern]

real

[valid portal]

anyone worse than me would infact be complete garbage
because I'm not good at infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

that guy who never plays infinite just demolished me? he must no life this game

[hearty flame]

very true and real

[deep night]

yes they are when they can snipe you off of it and steal yours

[obsidian wyvern]

people being good at the game is a bad thing guys

[waxen rose]

I should etch this into stone and frame it on my wall like its apart of the commandments or smthn

[valid portal]

full sweat is
a complete land slide over the opposing team

[obsidian wyvern]

the term sweaty is just used by idiots I'll be real

[subtle furnace]

Real

[waxen rose]

Just use goober like every normal person

[obsidian wyvern]

anyone remotely good is a tryhard to them

[subtle furnace]

They could just practice to get better

[obsidian wyvern]

then you check their stats and all they've ever played is firefight so it's no surprise they aren't doing that well in pvp

[valid portal]

or if all their time is in campaign

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[deep night]

First off prick I play btb

[obsidian wyvern]

(then you look at my stats which is mostly PvP and are surprised I'm doing that badly)

[valid portal]

I like private lobby alot in mcc because I'm laughing to a stupid death rather than being pissed off
and also ffa deathmatch with friends is fun

[waxen rose]

Oh!

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe you should get better at btb

there are some good training drills

[waxen rose]

No need to get pressed when it's a game…

[valid portal]

because public lobbies doesn't feel like other players are human with how the vast majority of them don't use any form of chat
so it feels like I'm fighting against bots

[waxen rose]

Daily reminder that even strangers on the internet/video game are human people with complex emotions

[obsidian wyvern]

anyway, maybe drop complaining about players when it's the game you really have a fault with. and if you don't play against people who are better than you, you'll never improve

[valid portal]

that's not what I'm saying
what I'm saying is, it feels lonely, and that lonelyness combined with constantly losing, is gonna make you feel mad at the game

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think that's aimed at you lol

[waxen rose]

I only get mad at the game when cortana jumpscares me
We are not the same

[valid portal]

when there's a vc going on
the getting pressed goes away and is replaced with entertainment regardless of whether I'm winning or not

[waxen rose]

I never go on vc with strangers I get too much anxiety LOL

I will be your friendly neighborhood real person who looks like a bot

[valid portal]

the only vc I've ever been able to do is with friends
because I haven't found a single soul using vc in public lobbies

[valid portal]

it's not
it just feels like it is when there is no communication

[pliant hatch]

eh, I'd say that's circumstantial.

[waxen rose]

Err

[valid portal]

I don't mind me losing more often than winning
it's just, the modern state of multiplayer PVP feels isolating a bit because again, hardly anybody uses any form of communication within the game

[waxen rose]

Yesturday’s (2010’s) pvp felt toxic
I think I prefer isolating vs toxic

[deep night]

Not just isolating... Basically just the amount of players not giving a care

[valid portal]

I wasn't there for the toxic era so I have no idea what it was like outside of small bits

[waxen rose]

The toxic era was so bad but I cant go into depth why bc of rules

I will say why via telepathy and you'll understand

[valid portal]

racial slurs I'm assuming

[waxen rose]

Lot more than racial lol

[obsidian wyvern]

that still happens today though

[waxen rose]

If I was in the halo fandom in 2010 I would've been casted out

[waxen rose]

Sadly but not as much as before thankfully

[obsidian wyvern]

really only because there's a lot more moderation in place

[valid portal]

I feel like that may partially be why people stopped bothering with in-game chat features
because they'd rather vc with friends on a third party platform

[waxen rose]

Yeah

[deep night]

How would you know? You're not a moderator

[analog knot]

Can you elaborate on what this means? Sounds interesting

[obsidian wyvern]

you don't need to be a mod to see what goes on

[valid portal]

type anything remotely to what Sargeant Johnson says in the intro of combat evolved, in MCC or infinites chat
although I prefer censoring over outright message deletion, which thankfully both MCC and infinite do rather than deleting

[waxen rose]

Graaahh im sargent johnson and I got blasted by a flying soccer ball!!!

That's my ghost impression I will be sending in an infinate chat

[valid portal]

cursed halo's Johnson va completely fooled me with how good the va's impression is

[hearty flame]

multiplayer doesn't have enough players for sbmm to function so the game consists of the same 20ish people per region dominating the other 20 people

[analog knot]

Where do you get that idea from?

[hearty flame]

from playing the game

[valid portal]

or as I call it
the self destructive playerbase, as opposed to a healthy playerbase

[analog knot]

Consistently? Or? Have you actually tried tracking tags etc?

[hearty flame]

if you read the conversation above you'd see someone already described it that way

[valid portal]

yeah
it was me

[hearty flame]

yeah, so say it a third time, for brevity

[valid portal]

I'm convinced my memory is non-existent

[waxen rose]

One of that 20 people is Aurora
Almost heroic, I see you girl

[analog knot]

Oh wait nvm when you say 20 people you're talking about Infinite

I get it now 😄

If you want to see actual real stats about MCC, I have a lot of fun recording them. Over 100 games heres what I found: https://i.imgur.com/psvNZNp.png

Seems to be quite a big difference from "matching the same 20 people over and over". However, I only have a little over 30 thousand games. Surely you have much more than me to make such strong statements

[deep night]

At least someone understands

[waxen rose]

Link hint me with immediate nsfw ad im dead

[valid portal]

that's imgur modern internet ads for ya

[waxen rose]

Hoping my teacher didnt see

[hearty flame]

it only hit you with that ad because you have cookies bruh

stop going to those websites

[waxen rose]

Who the heck took my cookies

I was saving those for a special day

[deep night]

Mmmhhmm suuurree 😜

[waxen rose]

I know what you are

[deep night]

No you don't

[valid portal]

I know what I am
