Good day halo fans

I suddenly feel like having a snickers bar

[waxen rose]

You're not you when you’re hungry

[dusty oak]

How many hours do u guys have in dis game

[analog knot]

mcc or inf

[dusty oak]

inf

both

[worldly venture]

54d, 13h, 16m

Whatever how many hours that is

[analog knot]

inf 90 mcc 12k

[dusty oak]

what u doing in mcc that has takes thousands of hours

[worldly venture]

Mcc been out forever like a decade

[valid portal]

syncing my account to the steam version gave me like 100 achievements at once

because I previously played it on xbox

[paper sun]

And your pc didn’t crash?

[celest grove]

Is anyone here in the citadel? (for halo clans)

[analog knot]

max rank, all achievements, climb leaderboard....then record videos, try to reverse engineer how the game works etc 😄 It adds up over the years

Happy birthday Halo 3

[burnt turret]

Guys, some of my achievments from halo mcc does not pop up even tho i did exactly what the achievment told me to do

Some terminal achievments dont pop up

And no smoking does not pop up

[analog knot]

MCC has a lot of issues with this over the years. If you happen to have gamepass I usually tell people to try via cloud gaming. But yeah, its just a known issue we all live with

[valid portal]

I've had achievement problems in other games but oddly not mcc

[worldly sedge]

Hope sometime MCC or Infinite gets shared with the PlayStation bros

[next sparrow]

is infinite still having trouble on pc?

[night crystal]

Hello y'all

[nocturne sphinx]

okay thx, idk if i replay it, i already finished it but would be a great experience anyways i think

[fiery turtle]

Yall did halo reach remaster come out?

[steady jolt]

Closest it's had to that was when it came to MCC in 2019/2020

[deep night]

Gonna regret saying this but how come I asked when is ce remake coming out and I'm glad that I didn't believe people here saying it isn't when it actually is coming out lol 😆

[pliant hatch]

source?

[deep night]

Basically waaaaay up on top of this channel

[waxen rose]

“People just do that? Spread lies on the internet?”

Yeah bro it aint coming out keep dreaming you sleepy lil guy hoonnnk schoooo

[deep night]

lol, not a liar since I'm a witness

[waxen rose]

Hooonnk mimimimimi🛌

[naive turret]

Did something change to indicate that it is in fact happening

An official post by HS perhaps

[pliant hatch]

unless it's from halo studios, it's not confirmed.

[waxen rose]

Our savior halo studios come to the rescue (and kill jun in halo 7)

[naive turret]

I'm willing it not to happen for the sake of whatever the next project is being in the realm of something I'd actually care about.

[deep night]

basically I remember that when me and @worldly venture were talking about it

[waxen rose]

I dont think you should look to desired for concrete facts LMAOOO

I stan you desireddream, my twin
Just gotta be 100

[deep night]

lol thats why I didn't believe anyone from that coversation 😂

[naive turret]

If it ends up being a CE Remake that just means even longer before the next mainline game.

And we haven't been getting Wars's or Top-Downs or ODST's in the meantime.

[pliant hatch]

they could have two teams working on it.

[steady jolt]

Yeah, there is no confirmation or announcement of any kind relating to a remake of CE

[deep night]

[steady jolt]

I mean, yeah lol. Until it's announced, it's not a thing

[pliant hatch]

have to wait until oct for something.

[deep night]

until some tournament that optic is in it? yeeeaaaa I'll just wait till I see the gameplay trailer and not care for competitive gameplay 😂🤣

[waxen rose]

I may be ce number 1 fan but I think it's good how it is
Keep my cute low poly guy low poly

[pliant hatch]

it might not be any gameplay and just an announcement of something.

[deep night]

any announcement without seeing formals bubble

[pliant hatch]

well my guess is it will be in the finals so there's a chance optic might not even be in them.

[normal owl]

In that case, the optics would be bad.

[steady jolt]

You also don't even have to watch any of it. You could just wait for it to be posted on socials

[deep night]

optic just gets boring when formal whines and talks trash everytime he wins... 🥱

[worldly sedge]

The Internet is so bad at spreading hysteria or “rumors” lol

I’ll believe it when I see it, but I can imagine it

[deep night]

honestly his Twitter explains everything 😂😂🤣😂

Whats with that halo reach trailer

Theyre making halo reach anniversary game?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOHAY_0jXCc

[deep night]

not rly

[worn sail]

what is it then

confused

[steady jolt]

No, it's just marking the anniversary since its release

[deep night]

to celebrate its anniversary or something

[worn sail]

Stupid, got me excited for nothing

thought it was getting halo 2 treatment

[steady jolt]

That would be a much bigger announcement

[hybrid plover]

halo reach 2

[worn sail]

true, its fine as it is i guess

[hybrid plover]

halo reach 2 but they’re zombies

[worn sail]

noble 6 coming out the cave

Rampant cortana achievment aint appearing for me

On mcc

[worn sail]

Aint that halo 4

[burnt turret]

The toy on high charity

[worn sail]

Ah

[valid portal]

I can't think of much differences between reach on 360 and mcc
besides framerate boost, more bloom or blurring I think?, and keyboard support
and I guess no splitscreen if your playing on PC without mods

[worn sail]

All the halo ppl playing helldivers these days?

[worldly venture]

Waddup gang

[worn sail]

halo reach campaign with 144hz is crazy

[hybrid plover]

personally. yes

[worldly venture]

Thats just halo 4

[waxen rose]

Halo reach anniversery idea; we kill Jun

[naive turret]

Now we're talking

[worn sail]

id redownload if it wasnt 130 gb

smh

[valid portal]

I do consider mcc the best way to play reach simply because accessibility (I'm talking accessibility as in, it's available on PC and Xbox)
but the extra blurring/bloom is a con

[worn sail]

i wish they kept the reach ranking system

10 yr old me put alot of work into it

[royal bone]

yo guys is there anyone from halo studios here active in chat

[valid portal]

I was never there during reach's original online service
but I oddly have it in my Xbox library, even backwards compatible on one and series x

[worn sail]

I am still chuckling: that lore drop about the genesong was the best thing my ears have heard today.

[jade gust]

Oh worm

[hasty zinc]

was a good spartan chatter

[vagrant kettle]

Never

[plush oriole]

H3 is fine as is no need to improve on perfection. I get people really liked H2 cutscenes but eh

[hasty zinc]

lol

[mental helm]

halo 3 lord hood and miranda keyes are my no.1 reasons for a h3a

[plush oriole]

oh no a 10+ year old game doesn't look as amazing as it once did quick let's ruin it with a forced update that surely will ONLY improve graphics and not touch other parts of the game and possibly ruin them. No, im good

[mental helm]

eh okay

but i did like h2a

cea was...... fine i guess, unironically looks worse than halo reach

[analog knot]

Campaign -> Sure
Multiplayer -> No please no, H2A mp is not a good benchmark

Same with CEA 😄
Campaign -> Awesome, go nuts
Multiplayer -> wtf is this

[mental helm]

oh yeah i meant campaign, i dont like playing multiplayer

[plush oriole]

bro CEA looks AWFUL i stright up refuse to run that on my PC except to get the terminals and skulls for achivements

also it SOMEHOW lags my system when I use anniversy graphics which is impressive

[naive surge]

ill always prefer in-engine cutscenes and 3 was especially good at that transition with your aftermath and even vehicle appearing in the background where you left it

[hasty zinc]

tbf it was the same with CE and 2

[naive surge]

i notice it the most in 3

[deep night]

imagine a halo game without weapon buffs since esports teams killed off this idea

[obsidian wyvern]

if anything, pros have got everything nerfed dude

[pliant hatch]

are they saying they want a game with or without weapon buffs?

[deep night]

without

[stiff vector]

Halo Studios is trash as hell.

[deep night]

lol got deleted for speaking the truth 😂😂

[stiff vector]

Halo hasn’t been good since Reach. Reach was the last good Halo game frfr.

[vagrant kettle]

[steady jolt]

Let's keep it constructive please

[vagrant kettle]

I actually can’t take you seriously
Your name is literally booger hahahahahah

[pliant hatch]

pros usually want the weapons nerfed.

[stiff vector]

Deleted for speaking the truth, again.

[vagrant kettle]

“Halo is dead” ahh quotes

[stiff vector]

Why my comment get deleted though?

Halo Discord on damage control or what?

[waxen rose]

Wade left without even telling me the time💔

[vagrant kettle]

I’m sorry this has happened to you, I hope you get better.

😢

[deep night]

Yeeeaaa but I shouldn't be two shotted by a br or a dmr [and no I'm not calling it a stupid "bandit"]

[pliant hatch]

it's a five shot kill unless you're playing h2 and get double shotted.

[deep night]

Hm..... 🤔 I died by two shots..... 🤨

[pliant hatch]

you probly got team shotted.

or were already low shields.

[balmy pagoda]

The Bandit does the same damage as the DMR from Reach if I remember correctly

[analog knot]

Have you ever played Fortnite? Lmao they seemingly bend over backwards for the pros in that game

It’s not really a fair comparison because of the population difference / company I guess.

But the people who play your game for a living have feedback that should probably be weighed more heavily because that also tends to correlate to playing the most.

Doesn’t mean you accept every single thing they want but you should of course weigh it more heavily then some random person from discord right

[deep night]

formal used to be cod then he gives advice to halo, then halo infinite flails down

[analog knot]

At the end of the day if HCS makes a change you could blame the pros but HCS are the ones who pull the levers 🤷🏼‍♂️

[pliant hatch]

formal was a reach pro.

[deep night]

basically formal came up with the idea of "going pro" in halo infinite and by then it became sweatfestivel to get your own bs ice cream

[deep night]

not surprising

reach was sweaty

[analog knot]

Reach was probably the most casual of all of the Halo “pro” scenes, no? I’d have to think about it but gut reaction is yeah it wasn’t that serious

[rare cedar]

I’d say H4

[deep night]

reach wasn't sweaty yes... But in mcc? that's a whole different story

[analog knot]

I’ve never met someone who played prior to reach who thinks Halo has gotten more competitive post that era (and maybe h4 is a better line? But still)

[pliant hatch]

he also was a pro in h4 and 5. went to cod when the scene died out

[analog knot]

In MCC there are no rotations, all of the maps/gametypes are solved. So you have people who were playing at launch the same things thousands of times, it may seem “sweaty” but to them it’s just going through the motions.

Part of the problem of small population. Good players get into lobbies with bad players much more often.

You need a healthy population of average players to match other average players. Not to mention there’s no ranked support to split those people out further.

[rare cedar]

The only “pro” thing in H4 days was the H4 global championship

Which was actually pretty awesome

[pliant hatch]

Agl did events

[deep night]

same thing goes for infinite

[analog knot]

Well yeah arguably its population is even smaller. So crank that dial harder yes

[rare cedar]

The drama following suit with agl didn’t sit well

Brad was his name, right?

Never paid out the winnings

[deep night]

not to be "blunt", but should people really listen to a smoker like apg

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, it didn't end well, but it's where all the remaining pros went for the time being.

[analog knot]

You are misunderstanding. AGL not APG.

[deep night]

ah ok lol

[rare cedar]

[deep night]

at least he gets it

[rare cedar]

I was laughing at you not with you but ok

[deep night]

🤣

[vagrant kettle]

What if the announcement in October is just a paid update for halo infinite campaign

[paper sun]

Good morning Panda

[obsidian wyvern]

apg slander for no reason again

he's such a nice guy bruh

[deep night]

That would kill it

[obsidian wyvern]

this guy spends most of his stream just thanking his viewers

[deep night]

isn't smoking bad tho?

[obsidian wyvern]

for your health sure

doesn't make you a bad person

[rare cedar]

[obsidian wyvern]

and I'm pretty sure hes mentioned it was for treatment or something, I could be getting that wrong

[rare cedar]

He’s so chill

ignore my long hair, I went through a phase

[deep night]

unless it is a herb sure, but I already experienced too much smoking health problems

[delicate warren]

Imagine if in the next halo game, Master chief took off his helmet and hanged out with some kid named quan ha

It would be peak

[swift mantle]

Hello.

[vivid heath]

What do you mean that Halo 3 is old enough to vote in the US 😭

[swift mantle]

During the summer I played through the MCC! It was awesome.

[steady jolt]

[swift mantle]

Reach was my favorite.

[lucid hornet]

In infinite, are both the Spartan IV armors and Chief’s armor gen 3 Mjolnir?

Cuz the multiplayer mark vii core looks like reach’s armor

I’m guessing chief’s mark vi gen 3 instead of mark vii?

[deep night]

I didn't do much research but isn't spartan jerome armor identical to ce chief in lore or no?

[lucid hornet]

Uhhh idk

[deep night]

sry typo

[lucid hornet]

Jerome wears mark IV

[deep night]

my keyboard old as frick

[lucid hornet]

And Chief wears V in CE

That’s all I know I think

[deep night]

ahhh ok

[lucid hornet]

I guess chief in forward unto dawn is wearing mark iv canonically and has worn it plenty in the books

[deep night]

I guess halo lore is pretty difficult to manage

[golden gale]

because 343 tried doing too much with lore

[lucid hornet]

I like the lore lmao

[golden gale]

wow cant even cuss

[deep night]

yea obviously, examples h4 & h5

[lucid hornet]

Also if reach mark V[b] is kinda modular considering the different helmets and shoulder pads, does the Mark V from CE canonically also have different helmets and shoulder pads?

[swift mantle]

Did anyone else find 4 in general subpar?

[golden gale]

games dont need a lot of lore everyone wants a fully fleshed out story just let the game be cool and fun

[lucid hornet]

True

Halo as a game franchise kinda ehhh rn

I just like dumb lore

[golden gale]

Yeah

I think a lot of people did

[swift mantle]

Idk what it is, but I just could not get to like it

[golden gale]

Theres been a switch recently with people liking 5 and 4s campaign a lot

[lucid hornet]

I don’t think people like 5’s campaign

4 ik people are switching

[golden gale]

But yeah I could never really fw the new halos as much as I did bungies

[swift mantle]

The gunplay did not feel that good in 4 imho

[lucid hornet]

I’m a halo 5 multiplayer apologist

[deep night]

I like h5 firefight alot better

[golden gale]

I love halo 5 multiplayer

[lucid hornet]

Ugh I miss h5 firefight so much

[golden gale]

Honestly my favorite in the franchise but worst campaign

[swift mantle]

I feel like none of the new weapons in 4 were that good

[lucid hornet]

I liked the squad mechanic but I miss the ai shooting at dead Spartans

Like I liked being in a fireteam

[lucid hornet]

I get that

[naive surge]

Assault rifle (purple) and assault rifle (greyandorange) really didnt do it for me but i didnt know how good i had it for choice

[obsidian wyvern]

4 had the best new weapon

[deep night]

Me when I find that ai "RICKY! WHEN I CATCH YOU RICKY"

[swift mantle]

Yeah they felt pretty average

[lucid hornet]

Idk maybe I’m just weird but the halo infinite sandbox didn’t do too much for me. Like it’s good now but idk I prefer the contrast of covenant weapons to UNSC weapons than UNSC to brute weapons

[steady jolt]

The troll gun

[golden gale]

Yeah I feel the same

[lucid hornet]

Weapon designs were eh in 5 but I loved the variety in gameplay in firefight

[naive surge]

Why isnt this in infinite, the really quite excellent weapon from 4

[golden gale]

I dont care for the banished

[lucid hornet]

I like diversity, I don’t like how kinda human it looks compared to the UNSC weapons

I mean sure they’re different but not enough imo

[golden gale]

I wanna play a odst spinoff where you fight rebels

Like some ghost recon type of gameplay idk if it would work but sounds fun

[naive surge]

There being 0 returning brute weapons from previous games besides the gravhammer hurt so much

[golden gale]

wasnt there that spike gun

[lucid hornet]

Right? It kinda makes sense but not really. At least they do have the brute aesthetic

What I don’t like is the ghost and banshee being banished red now

I miss the shiny purple lol

[obsidian wyvern]

crazy that this gun was only in like one mission too

[swift mantle]

My ranking is Reach, 3, 2, odst, CE, 4

[lucid hornet]

From playing mcc?

Ngl personally the reach art style wasn’t my fav

[swift mantle]

I liked it tbh

[lucid hornet]

Didn’t feel futuristic enough considering it takes place in the distant future

[swift mantle]

But I can see it’s different

[naive surge]

Thats a pretty fair ranking imo. Id probs put reach between odst and ce but thats just me

[lucid hornet]

But that’s a personal preference. As an art style it’s nice

I get that it’s a prequel so it has a tiny bit of leeway imo

[swift mantle]

I feel like reach had the best balance of gameplay, story, visuals.

[lucid hornet]

I’d probably like reach more if I played in on pc cuz abilities on controller weren’t really fun to me

Except for 5 for some odd reason

[swift mantle]

I wanted to play 5 but it’s not natively on pc

[lucid hornet]

Yeaaah

There’s forge, sometimes custom games are hosted

H5 pc forge

But there’s a skill gap, I can’t keep up with them cuz I’m no good at pvp

[swift mantle]

I am mostly into the campaigns of the games tbh

[lucid hornet]

Yeaaah valid

[swift mantle]

I suck at PvP lol

I played through the mcc with my friend and the vehicle sections were honestly so chaotically fun lol

another halo 3 anniversary, another year of disappointment.

no teaser, no rumor, nothing pointing at a halo 3 remaster or remake

cant even curse in the server without the mssg getting deleted lol.....................

it like watching your little sibling turn into a monster as he gets older and u cant do anything about it

also lost massive respect for Bungie. never forget how they abandoned us and let us not forget how they have done nothing at all for halo once they left. I am thankful to Halo Studios for leaving no man behind.

youd think Bungie would appear out of nowhere with a waving cape behind them to save the day but they have done nothing, they just observed the massacre. I find it hard to believe it all ends here like this... no. I refuse to believe it. Halo, we are still here. You will be saved. h3 menu theme starts playing

[obsidian wyvern]

haven't cringed this hard in a while

[steady jolt]

Bungie haven't done anything for Halo, because they didn't want to do Halo any longer. They've been trying to escape from it since Halo 2. They wanted to move on to Destiny and eventually did

Bungie haven't done anything for Halo
Actually, this is a slight lie, as they did do some thing in D2 for an anniversary

[steady jolt]

They don't own the IP, Microsoft do and have done since 2001. Sony owns Bungie now

[zinc hatch]

Oh dear lord, this reads like one of those Halo larper fans that responds to everything with corny Master Chief gifs and calls people that disagree with them "heretics."

Especially with that "Halo3 menu theme starts playing" at the end.

He's still typing after 6 minutes? Oh god.

[obsidian wyvern]

yoo saber

[zinc hatch]

Hell yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

based

[lavish hamlet]

I understand that part but I don't think they should sideeye the franchise that made them successful. it's their creation. if there's anyone that should love halo more than anybody else it's Bungie. and I also feel like you're misinterpreting what I said, they've done nothing for Halo in terms of reaching out for example to Microsoft to be able to co-develop the next Halo, or a gesture as simple as a tweet reminiscing on their past title aka halo 3 since it is its anniversary. they literally dont do the very minimal things they can do to help out. that's not normal for any game dev company... when have u ever seen devs act as if their game that made them who they are doesn't even exist anymore?

[obsidian wyvern]

they didn't even wanna make more than CE

[zinc hatch]

I thought it was anything more than 2?

[obsidian wyvern]

oh maybe

[lavish hamlet]

yea but I didnt want to be at the gym for more than 30 min. see where im getting at now?

not everything that you dont like is bad for you

they made so much money and countless memories even though they didnt want to continue after CE or 2

[zinc hatch]

Atleast I believe that was the sentiment before all the content in 2 got cut and shifted to 3.

[obsidian wyvern]

no I don't see the correlation between being forced to make a game and going to gym lmao

[zinc hatch]

LMAO WHAT

"We don't want to make any more Halo games past Halo2. That means we MUST keep making more."

[obsidian wyvern]

we don't have enough on our plates already, let's go help make a new game for an IP we wanted to disconnect from over a decade ago!

[queen remnant]

Bungie is not even that independent anymore either lmao

[zinc hatch]

I'm not really a 343 glazer by any means, but how has it still not clicked in people's heads that NO ONE working at the current Bungie office is an employee that actually worked on Halo two decades ago?

[queen remnant]

The only small heads up Bungie did about Halo was either marketing for Marathon or the Bungie anniversary in D2 lol
And Sony is not going to let Bungie do more of their things alone anymore too so like

[urban epoch]

hi everyone

[lavish hamlet]

Halo 3 though? most are still at Bungie

[queen remnant]

Most veterans got fired recently at Bungie

[zinc hatch]

The only (major) one that's still floating around is like, Joseph Staten, but he's not with Bungie or anything anymore. And I think now he's just been relegated to Netflix Gaming, which is more a lowball DEMOTION if you ask me.

[queen remnant]

Or left after Bungie released Destiny

[zinc hatch]

No they absolutely do not.

[steady jolt]

Joe is at Duolingo

[obsidian wyvern]

he's on Duolingo now

recently released a thing

[queen remnant]

He's where now

No way LOL

[zinc hatch]

Hmmm. Honestly can't say if that's a good or bad thing, but i guess it's better than Netflix.

[steady jolt]

Netflix gaming got the old Spanish archer

[ember fjord]

neither current bungie nor 343 are good for halo, cos current bungie is a shell of what it used to be, and 343 imo are literally 3 for 3 bad halo games so far 😭

[queen remnant]

Surprised Duolingo is hiring actual humans after them firing a lot of employees for AI

[zinc hatch]

Omg and this was just yesterday, too. Lmao

[zinc hatch]

Probably unintentional but the pun at the end made me cackle a little too hard.

[hexed geyser]

they cant co develop halo 7

[obsidian wyvern]

bungie are owned by Sony now

idk if owned is the right term, can't remember

[queen remnant]

It is

At the beginning was more like owned but Bungie remained independent
But Bungie being Bungie as always got a bit silly and Sony was not having any of it so they lost that too

[ember fjord]

it was intentional and im proud of it 😂

i was a big bungie fangirl up until like... i'd say around shadowkeep era for destiny 2, beyond that i started to see how bad they were falling off

[lavish hamlet]

lol I just wrote an essay for it to be blocked for profanity

[ember fjord]

i was loving them since halo CE

then they dropped off, had a good run though tbf

[lavish hamlet]

whats stopping Bungie from co-developing the next Halo

nothing. NOTHING AT ALL

[ember fjord]

considering how theyve handled d2 the past few years i wouldnt want that

[obsidian wyvern]

me when I have no idea how businesses work

[deep night]

Ugh.... bungie lovers

[lavish hamlet]

I know business and there's no isse with this becoming a reality

[ember fjord]

dude i literally just said they fell off years ago

[obsidian wyvern]

Me when I lie in front of everyone

[ember fjord]

😭

[hexed geyser]

i agree they should just move on

[zinc hatch]

Hmm, let's see.

-Sony.
-Bad reputation in their modern developments.
-Literally stealing money from players.

[queen remnant]

Sony and themselves

[ember fjord]

i love sony's consoles but theyre a terrible company, especially recently

[lavish hamlet]

that actually slipped my mind

[deep night]

even if they fell off, there's still roaches of them

[obsidian wyvern]

???

I'm out of this lmfao

[lavish hamlet]

but wait they dont have an exclusive contract with sony? theyre still releasing Destiny on all platforms so

[queen remnant]

Sony let them releasing all their games multiplatform but they are still under the Playstation studios

[hexed geyser]

can we stop talking about bungie

[zinc hatch]

"That actually slipped my mind."

we've been saying it over and over.

Yeah, I'm done, I'm gonna go read more ReZero.

[deep night]

agreed

[queen remnant]

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

[ember fjord]

are they like the man who shall not be named atp 😭😭

[lavish hamlet]

so they were freed from MS's shackles only to be a prisoner to Sony now? either way how does that stop them from co-developing the next Halo if the next Halo will also be on Playstation? are you just assuming they can't or do you know for sure that they can't

[queen remnant]

I think I already said what I said

As like any other here

[ember fjord]

me when instead of calling her perfect i call her Halo Reach DMR

sorry im just trying to change the subject

is it working

[hexed geyser]

yeah lets change the topic

Great idea kira

[pulsar heron]

"what's stopping bungie from working on the next halo" bungie didnt want to work on halo anymore. that's a pretty big reason i would imagine

[ember fjord]

does anyone agree

or do you not fw the DMR

[obsidian wyvern]

not the reach dmr

[steady jolt]

Microsoft would have to grant Bungie the opportunity to work on Halo again, and Sony would have to be in agreement. Neither of those things are likely to happen as Microsoft already has a dedicated studio for the franchise

[obsidian wyvern]

reach's looks nice but bloom
i think 4 has the best dmr look
5 was aight, but why use it when you start with the magnum
bandit evo is nice

[steady jolt]

Also, yeah, Bungie would have to want to do it in the first place

[queen remnant]

They are also all hands with Destiny 2 and Marathon at this point

[steady jolt]

Yep

[ember fjord]

ive never had an issue with bloom in reach ngl

[obsidian wyvern]

that can be an example of the issue with bloom lol

some people's luck is just better, your shots landing shouldnt be based on luck

[lavish hamlet]

its not all black and white though. maybe it was the environment they were in when working on the game that they didnt like. that was the whole thing I clearly remember them wanting to be their own company and not a subsidiary of Microsoft which is why they left. i used to be a game dev on a project i was working on and if it ever became a hit I would never stop working on it

[queen remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/man-gif-27702344

[lavish hamlet]

lol

sad

[ember fjord]

it only becomes luck based if youre spamming the trigger, if you pace your shots then youre controlling where they go, ill agree that it couldve been less severe but i really dont mind it

[lavish hamlet]

like all around

[ember fjord]

then again though i am very biased, reach is my favourite

[lavish hamlet]

wait im confused so you chimed in just to post that?

what was your goal engaging in the convo lol?

[steady jolt]

Putting an end to it, I think we're done now

[queen remnant]

[pseudo pendant]

I wish 343 could make a good Halo

[analog knot]

How much Reach have you played? Bloom was always kind of eh, spinning the roulette wheel when shooting was never my thing. But also the weird visual smear bloom is worse 😂

I forget what that lighting effect is called but it needs to go back to 2011

[rare cedar]

Bloom

[lavish hamlet]

is general chat for anything

can i talk about something else since the previous topic is null?

[rare cedar]

Yaya

[ember fjord]

too much 😭 i only just recently got into playing it tho cos i got a series x last month, my main console is usually ps5, but yeah ive played a ton

again, i dont think the shooting is that luck based with precision weapons, it definitely is with full auto weapons, and it definitely couldve been less severe with those, but with weapons like the magnum and DMR, it really is just a case of pacing your shots

[worldly venture]

Man im hungry

[hexed geyser]

you guys should add a dont complain about 343/HS/ wanting bungie back rule

[ember fjord]

i played MCC on pc before i got an xbox again, glad to be playing it again

[lavish hamlet]

im just so glad god made me a 6'4 man in miami. I really am blessed and I truly love and appreciate life. do you guys love life too? let's spread the love

[analog knot]

Yeah in the reach days I got inheritor a couple of times, im painfully aware. But now I cant enjoy it the same

[lavish hamlet]

i have 0 complaints I just want a H3 remaster

[pseudo pendant]

See the difference between me and those people are I don’t think Bungie would do a good Halo either

[analog knot]

the whole pacing your shots argument is fun until you lose every competitive fight around the other person spamming - theres a reason why the hardcore stuff removed the bloom completely

[pseudo pendant]

Reach had problems that a lot of people hated like bloom, the maps being mostly Halo CE remasters and the sandbox

[hexed geyser]

then why are you here if you dont like hale

[pseudo pendant]

I still like Reach a lot but it’s got its problems

[rare cedar]

The chat would be dead

[pseudo pendant]

What

I love Halo

[hexed geyser]

oh ok

[pseudo pendant]

I just said in response to bring Bungie back I still think they would fail because it isn’t the same Bungie

[worldly venture]

True!

[pseudo pendant]

However that being said my criticism of 343/HS is still a thing. My main problem is they refuse to fix things that are still problems in MCC

[lavish hamlet]

your status literally says "343 sucks"

[pseudo pendant]

Yeah lol

I don’t like them but I love Halo

It’s also good to ragebait

[steady jolt]

Nobody is refusing to do anything, the issue is down to time and resourcing

[analog knot]

MCC is on around a 6 month fix schedule for game breaking stuff rn

[pseudo pendant]

The game hasn’t had support in a while

[analog knot]

When the guardians broke in July, it was fixed in December

When the EAC update broke the microsoft store in Feb it was fixed in Sep

[pseudo pendant]

From my understating at least

[analog knot]

Rejoining still doesnt work, no idea if thats being looked at tho

[ember fjord]

i feel like spamming only works if youre short range though no? if youre at mid-long range, the person spamming isnt hitting anything

only way i can see spamming getting a kill is on swat maybe

[pseudo pendant]

You know what I would love

[analog knot]

and in kind of a sad way both of those "fixes" were required as a result of a "fix" happening. Its rough 😄

[pseudo pendant]

Console mod support and PlayStation and Nintendo get MCC

That would be cool so more people can play Halo

[worldly venture]

Can the switch even run it lmao

[analog knot]

Game has major functional issues on the platforms its on, I agree it would be cool but its hard to imagine totally new platforms rn

[pseudo pendant]

The switch 2 definitely can

It’s better than my pc and my pc runs it at 360 fps max on CE

[worldly venture]

Ah yea that exists now

[lavish hamlet]

what are the odds of Infinite coming to Playstation? this is something actually realistic that I want to happen

[pseudo pendant]

I wouldn’t care if Infinite came over

I haven’t touched Infinite in like two years

[pulsar heron]

i have to agree you tbh, until i returned to halo 4 i was very spammy. it wasn't until i started pacing my shots that i actually started getting a positive kda

[pseudo pendant]

I have no reason to now

[lavish hamlet]

well I do I care about playerbase and infinte is a very good game, very slept on.

[rare cedar]

Chat hear me out: Halo battle Royale on all platforms

[worldly venture]

KILL HIM!!!

[analog knot]

Most competitive reach engagements are in this window. Yeah if youre across the map in btb spamming is worthless

[lavish hamlet]

literally yes I have been saying this for a while now if you look at my message history

[pseudo pendant]

I’m not going to get into here because that’s a long conversation no one here wants to have. I’m just not going to touch a 343 game

[worldly venture]

Dunno man Infinites pretty good rn

[analog knot]

but will it have sprint?

[pseudo pendant]

It should’ve been good from the start ngl

[worldly venture]

Oh you're one of them

[rare cedar]

Uuuuuuuh duh

[hexed geyser]

that would be a great introduction for newer players that dont have an xbox/PC for halo

[rare cedar]

Infinites sprint

[lavish hamlet]

very slept on. it's quite literally just the playerbase that's wrong w it

[rare cedar]

It’s perfectly balanced

[analog knot]

Infinite Sprint?!

jk

[worldly venture]

Halo's player base as a whole sucks

[rare cedar]

Slide down hills lie Apex

[ember fjord]

yeah i can see how bloom becomes a massive issue in competitive play but i think for social games its okay, i definitely agree that they couldve lessened it, 343 did so in MCC but they probably couldve tweaked it even further

[lavish hamlet]

nope. sprint would make the matches end quicker. plus if they don't include sprint thats a bonus for going back to its roots

[pseudo pendant]

We are simple people. We just want good games at launch and no live service crap

Live service and Halo don’t mix well

[analog knot]

343 reduced it in Reach, ive never heard of it being rebalanced when mcc came out

[obsidian wyvern]

sprint can be used to run away so can also make matches longer with that logic

[ember fjord]

my main issue with bloom in reach is that it makes the AR absolutely horrendous, like its gotta be one of if not the worst ARs in halo 😭

[analog knot]

Has Halo ever had live service?

[worldly venture]

Pretty much yea

[ember fjord]

sorry, thats what i meant, 343 tweaked it when they re-released reach

[wild sleet]

They tried it with Infinite but it went under

[pseudo pendant]

No and it was fine without it
Technically Halo 5 did but it’s not the same live service as today

[worldly venture]

5 and infinite

[pseudo pendant]

Halo 5 had much more content at a faster rate

[analog knot]

TU Reach was a big W, saved that game

[worldly venture]

Halo 5 also had a full studio, maybe idk

[lavish hamlet]

It's the playerbase I grew up with. after a long day of getting made fun of at school halo's com would always cheer me up and it was always a good time. the good and bad times. even getting spawn betrayed by a grav hammer in grifball brought a smile to my face; home is where the heart is and that's exactly where I was

[analog knot]

I am spoiled bc of playing Fortnite, when I think Live Service I point to their model and it seems we are many many many miles away

[pseudo pendant]

I don’t think it was that. 343 had contract workers that would switch in and out and most of them didn’t even learn the engine well before being replaced

[analog knot]

But its apples and oranges comparing HS / Epic

[steady jolt]

Every game studio out there has this

They work with multiple partners and contractors

[pseudo pendant]

Not to the extent that 343 did

[steady jolt]

yes

[obsidian wyvern]

where is that image

[analog knot]

This argument sounds really compelling if you have no idea what you're talking about ngl

[pseudo pendant]

I mean look at DE (Warframe devs) they probably have less people don’t know their engine as well but they put out more content than Infinite

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont have nitro so

[ember fjord]

this could be applied to so many games, when fans have issues with certain things with their game they suddenly become professional game developers

"see, if it were me, i'd do this"

[lavish hamlet]

why do I feel attacked

[obsidian wyvern]

it probably applies to you as well yeah

[indigo lotus]

Stckr is correct. Every game studio has contractors. It isn’t anything out of the ordinary.

[pseudo pendant]

If 343 would actually make a good game maybe I would defend them

So far they haven’t so I can’t care

[steady jolt]

All you need to do is look at video game credits to see the amount of other companies involved in making games

[ember fjord]

i thank them for MCC at least

[pseudo pendant]

The one good thing they’ve done but even then it took them five years to add reach and fix the damn game

[analog knot]

Wait MCC is fixed? 👀 /s

[worldly venture]

Reach wasnt even in the game cus its the master chief collection, reach and odst being added were just a nice thing they did

[pseudo pendant]

Well now it has more issues

[pseudo pendant]

Well it’s part of it now

And that’s nice

[worldly venture]

Aint it

[ember fjord]

i dont like halo 4, 5 or infinite either but i also cant really say i hate 343 because i play MCC a lot

[lavish hamlet]

why can't they contract someone that used to work on og Halo to work on the new halo? also didnt they say a new Halo would be announced next month or was that someone on twitter just messing around?

[pseudo pendant]

Gives me no reason to play 343s other crap

[pseudo pendant]

Most of them moved on from Halo

There’s not as much Halo-Bungie era devs in 343

Which is fine honestly

[steady jolt]

They'll be announcing what they're working on at the Halo World Championship next month

[pseudo pendant]

If it’s a Combat Evolved remake with no multiplayer I’m going to crash out

[wild sleet]

I didn’t mind Halo 4, pushing aside the complaints I have for it the game itself is quite fun

[lavish hamlet]

bro the hype is real. been a minute since we got news like this

[pseudo pendant]

at least make it cheap

[worldly venture]

Do you really believe that?

[pseudo pendant]

I would like not to

[worldly venture]

You got that from a halo youtuber didnt you lmao

[pseudo pendant]

No

[hexed geyser]

i wonder what the announcement could be

[worldly venture]

The remake doesn't even exist publicly

[analog knot]

Why speculate? Read their actual words here: https://i.imgur.com/VHGLWpu.png

[pseudo pendant]

One of my friends told me

[ember fjord]

i prefer it over halo 5 but its still kinda mid imo

[worldly venture]

Ur friend was lied to

[analog knot]

Youre in the official Halo discord, Halo Studios makes blog posts, you can just read what they write

[indigo lotus]

Could be Infinite sequel

[obsidian wyvern]

what

[pseudo pendant]

I have been burnt out of Halo for two years and just recently came back so idfk

[obsidian wyvern]

idek what i hit send on

[lavish hamlet]

im buying the most expensive edition. just purchased sonic racing deluxe today so id be a klutz not to

[obsidian wyvern]

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

[pseudo pendant]

Too lazy to I love spreading misinformation and propaganda because it’s easier to ragebait than be positive

[analog knot]

You dont have to look at Mint Blitz interpretation of a Tweet from an "insider" who read a Slack message of a bluesky post from inside of a terminal

just....read what they wrote 😄

[pseudo pendant]

I don’t even like Mint Blitz lmao

Most Halo YouTubers I actually just dislike

[analog knot]

Amen brother

[ember fjord]

a CE remake seems so pointless to me i cant even lie

[hexed geyser]

sadly i cant go to hwcs in person so how would i see the announcment

[wild sleet]

I’d rather have another ODST spin-off than a CE Remake

[pseudo pendant]

I used to like Act Man, then he did slop content. Used to love Hidden X but the lore got boring and so did Halo for a long time.

[analog knot]

Unfortunately the announcement is only limited to people who attend in person. They will be confiscating everyones phones, no journalism allowed. bing chilling

[hexed geyser]

🙁

[analog knot]

(You can just read about it after? Or watch a stream? Or check here? Whatever they announce will be everywhere)

[ember fjord]

i'd literally rather have ANY new game over a remake of CE, or a remake of any of the old games ngl

[lavish hamlet]

bro that man is single handedly keeping halo alive LOL cant even hate the guy. hes always posting rumors and news of Halo but I agree, when i finish watching the video I learned that there are no rumors and I was just clickbaited

[ember fjord]

i'd rather just play the old games on MCC

[analog knot]

MB is truly a master of clickbait its true

[hexed geyser]

welp imma ask may respite dad if he can take me to america

[pseudo pendant]

There’s one guy I cannot even stand and that’s HaloFollower

I really don’t like him

[ember fjord]

people already complained that the remastered visuals for CE completely ruin the vibe, could you imagine the reception for a REMAKE

like lmao

[pseudo pendant]

I think they could do a good job IF they put in the effort to

Again I’m still very on the fence and I will not pre order

Whatever it is they may show

[analog knot]

You realize you're talking about not preordering something that is a total rumor

lmao

[pseudo pendant]

^
@analog knot

I’m not saying it’s going to be a CE remake

[analog knot]

I wrote that out before you sent that

[pseudo pendant]

Oh

[ember fjord]

what even happened to my message huh

[pseudo pendant]

I’m gonna break your chair

[ember fjord]

😔

[analog knot]

It got filtered out, fix whatever rule you're breaking

[cosmic monolith]

hello

[ember fjord]

didnt realise i was breaking any, all i said was i thought they did a good job with the CE remaster but its not their fault that it changed the vibe

but in a longer form

[pseudo pendant]

If it is a CE remake I think there is a lot they can improve on, I love CE but it’s kinda outdated in a lot of ways and a lot of my friends who didn’t grow up with Halo straight up hate it which makes me sad

[ember fjord]

remasters or remakes of old games are bound to not match the old vibe its just nostalgia

[wild sleet]

I’m 50/50 about Pre-ordering the next Halo game I rarely play Halo as I used to now but other half I’ve always gotten the limited editions for Halo

[cosmic monolith]

Might be a controversial question would Halo Infinite's take on sprint, clamber would work well in this new remake?

[pseudo pendant]

I disagree. I loved the Silent hill 2 remake, RE4 remake, and the dead space remake. While they are completely different genres they are proof of good video game remakes

[analog knot]

There is a simple answer to that - if they do it correctly, it will work well. If not, it wont.

[pseudo pendant]

I think it could

[cosmic monolith]

I would exclude slide, that thing is busted in Infinite ngl.

[ember fjord]

remakes can work, im just saying theyre bound to not please everyone, i love those remakes too

[pseudo pendant]

Even though I’m a Bungie Halo glazer I still do appreciate a lot of what 343 did to the gameplay

[pseudo pendant]

That’s completely valid

[cosmic monolith]

🤝 i like reach my man

[pseudo pendant]

Halo 3 is my sweet spot

I love Halo 3

[wild sleet]

Halo 2 is my pride

[cosmic monolith]

i wasn't there in the xb360 days, i had a wii

[ember fjord]

im a glazer of bungie's old work, that includes halo CE up to reach, and then their work on destiny (for a while) but i cant glaze current bungie LMAO not at all

[pseudo pendant]

I could never with Halo 2 lol I always sucked at that games MP

I also just hate hitscan infinite range BRs

[ember fjord]

i love halo 2's campaign but i never liked the multiplayer

[pseudo pendant]

Current Bungie is just sad

[ember fjord]

i also thought halo 3's multiplayer was mad overrated

the forge was good tho

[pseudo pendant]

The fact that people are saying a mobile game is better than their actually game is just hilarious

[wild sleet]

Feels weird the 360 is considered a Retro console now

[cosmic monolith]

isn't there a fallout rate at long ranges (i.e reduces damage?)?

[pseudo pendant]

I’m exaggerating but there probably is

The Halo 2 br is objectively hitscan though

[cosmic monolith]

yeh it is

[pseudo pendant]

Okay I have one question regarding infinite

[cosmic monolith]

the h3 br on mnk, is well a journey when you use it

I might invest in a controller but my brain is hardwired is for fps to be played with mnk

[pseudo pendant]

I quit playing in Season 4 not even a month after it released
Am I able to still get the Mark IV armor

Interesting

[cosmic monolith]

welp, censoring in place, but yeh all cores are free
exchange offers plenty to unlock, just play the game 🙏

[pseudo pendant]

I did see your message though don’t worry

[ember fjord]

halo was designed around the controller so i dont really mind, but yeah for most other shooters, mnk is the way to go

[pseudo pendant]

It’s honestly the pinnacle of Halo Multiplayer to me. There was so much it offered with the dlc maps and the different modes you could play. 5v5 Halo was fun for ranked and public matches though I do think 4v4 is way more balanced there was still a lot I love about 3

I will say Reach had the best armor customization and progression

It was the example of what a new Halo release should be

[cosmic monolith]

reach feels like modern + legacy halo to me

[ember fjord]

yeah thats valid, i know im alone in not really liking 3's mp, the shining spectacle of 3 for me was always the forge, i have great memories with it, but even then i prefer reach's forge these days, and did back then too

[pseudo pendant]

I still have my issues with it

[ember fjord]

i also prefer reach's mp to halo 3's

[cosmic monolith]

armor lock 🤢 man i hate that

[ember fjord]

but i am just incredibly biased to reach its my favourite by far

[wild sleet]

Halo 4 did a good job as well with how you earned your Armor & such

[pseudo pendant]

I just hate that you get the DMR and Needle Rifle every other gun is just bad

The assault rifle in reach also just sucks

[ember fjord]

reach's customisation is so fun, the spartans look the coolest in that game for me

[pseudo pendant]

I hate how it spreads too fast

[cosmic monolith]

i find myself being effective with single shot weapons in h3.
For the BR, the 3 burst ofc needs to be paced but I find myself not being able to do that consistently.

[pseudo pendant]

Reach is definitely my go to for fun custom forge maps and matches for sure

[ember fjord]

the AR is terrible i agree but theres definitely way more serviceable guns besides the dmr and needle rifle

[pseudo pendant]

I do love Reach’s sniper a lot

[cosmic monolith]

needle rifle is beast in tu modes

[pseudo pendant]

It looks sick and has a great reload

[ember fjord]

for short-mid range i unironically prefer the magnum over DMR

[analog knot]

5v5 ranked?

[ember fjord]

theres just something about it

[cosmic monolith]

idk, i keep using those things like precision shotguns

[pseudo pendant]

Everything else I prefer in Halo 3 there’s just so much to that game

[ember fjord]

theyre both 5 shot kills anyway

[pseudo pendant]

Yeah Halo 3 on the 360 used to be 5v5

You also had to have a Bungie developer manually recognize you if you wanted the Recon helmet

[analog knot]

For social yeah

[cosmic monolith]

due to the firerate or smth else?
I prefer the magnum over the drm in tu either way
i find it easier to use at range (likely due to 2x zoom) or i just prefer hipfire over everything

[ember fjord]

not the fire rate, i always shoot slowly with both, i genuinely cant even explain theres just something about the magnum that feels really nice, but i guess in general i just love pistols in games

[pseudo pendant]

As a Bungie simp I can say one very controversial take

Sprint CAN work in Halo

[cosmic monolith]

pistol flip?

[analog knot]

There was eventually ranked squad battle and ranked BTB in og h3, but never 5s iirc

[ember fjord]

that is definitely one of the things

[cosmic monolith]

infinite made it work ig?

[pseudo pendant]

Eh kinda..?

It still felt very slow to me

I think Halo 5 had a decent sprint

Felt fast and you could go back to shooting pretty quickly

[wild sleet]

Halo 4 had the quicker sprint I believe

[pseudo pendant]

The biggest issue I have with Halo 5 are spartan abilities I think they broke the progression

[pseudo pendant]

Halo 4 sprint felt like you were sliding on Ice

[cosmic monolith]

its actually insane, combine it with the mobility perk, you are zooming across the map

[safe dawn]

Wdym?

And are you talking about 5 or infinite

[wild sleet]

Halo 5

[pseudo pendant]

I did say Halo 5 lol

[safe dawn]

Jus making sure lol

[pseudo pendant]

Spartan Abilities like thruster, spartan charge and ground pound

I didn’t like those very much

[cosmic monolith]

wasn't sprint in h4, hr & h5 designed for going from point a to b?

[wild sleet]

I didn’t mind ground pound, Spartan Charge never want to see that again

[safe dawn]

Ngl that never really broke anything for me

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 4 had infinite sprint if u meleed every so often

[safe dawn]

Mostly bc I could never figure out the ground pount XD

[safe dawn]

It had infinite sprint period with a perk lol

[cosmic monolith]

mobility 🙏

i used to have it in my loadout on mcc, now i don't

[wild sleet]

Yeah Halo 4 sprint was like Halo Reach sprint unless you used the Mobility Perk

[pseudo pendant]

Yes but one of the problems with Halo Reach and Halo 4 sprint was it felt punishing to go faster because it took a bit to get back into the firing position. One reason why many bungie fans hated sprint is because they believed in the golden tingle of Halo gameplay where you can move, shoot and throw grenades at the same pace

[safe dawn]

Ngl that only bothered me because of the blast to 3rd person, woulda been fine otherwise

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean in the campaign

[safe dawn]

I have mever heard this before

[cosmic monolith]

no it was limited like reach

[pseudo pendant]

There’s a lot of people that hate sprint

[safe dawn]

No I mean about the golden tingle thing

[pseudo pendant]

Mainly people are in their mid to late 30’s lol

[cosmic monolith]

double melee

[pseudo pendant]

Oh really?

[wild sleet]

For me it was how well it locked on

[pseudo pendant]

That’s been a core thing for Halo since it started

[safe dawn]

Golden triangle sure, but never golden "tingle"

[pseudo pendant]

Oh lmao I didn’t see the mistake I made

My apologies

[safe dawn]

Also I have no issue moving shooting and throwing grenades at the same pace usually so it may just be a me thing XD

[safe dawn]

You good lol

[pseudo pendant]

I still remember when people complained about Armor lock

[safe dawn]

My pace is just "Go until I'm pinned down bc I went too hard"

[pseudo pendant]

Ngl it is so easy to counter

[safe dawn]

Wait 10 seconds like 5 feet away lol

[pseudo pendant]

I don’t even use it often I just do it to three peak lmao

[wild sleet]

Unless you’re a Ghost driver

[pseudo pendant]

I love pissing vehicle players off

[safe dawn]

Wait 5 seconds 10 feet away lol

Only time armor lock screws a vehicle is mid charge into it

[cosmic monolith]

i assume the issue would be:

• you get your opponent to low health, they dump armor lick.
• you wait, they unlock & melee

i always succumb to this everytime

[naive turret]

Thing about the triangle is that it has had auxiliary factors since CE with vehicles.

It’s just a way of articulating the importance of harmonizing basic gameplay elements.

[safe dawn]

Ngl I do find it amusing tho how a 3 ton vehicle at least, cannot move a half ton spartan

[obsidian wyvern]

if you meleed midair or something, it could become infinite

[cosmic monolith]

i would play h:ce on mcc but the audio is barely audible with ingame low volume settings

[cosmic monolith]

wait really?

[safe dawn]

Ngl I never had that issue XD

[cosmic monolith]

i never understood how h4 sprint "recharged"

[analog knot]

Yes, revenant is correct. Its extremely important for speedrunning for obvious reasons

[wild sleet]

I learn something new after many years

[cosmic monolith]

i used to have a mono speaker, now i don't

[wild sleet]

Treat it like the Halo Reach metre

[safe dawn]

I just assumed it just reset after like 2 secs of you stopped running

[analog knot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUx0yMia61M IDK who this is but they do a pretty good example

[safe dawn]

Oh I always used a headset lol

[cosmic monolith]

in reach, you have a visual indicator in h4, you don't so how you keep track?
mentally obviously or no?

[analog knot]

muscle memory yes

[safe dawn]

You just go with it

[cosmic monolith]

earphones/headsets make my ears scratch badly

[safe dawn]

Oof, that sucks

[wild sleet]

Yeah literally just go by muscle memory

[safe dawn]

Ngl I got miffed playing h4 bc I was used to infinites sprint at the time lol

[cosmic monolith]

one thing, i did built with muscle memory, with halo, always chucking a nade before dying
now i do it on reflex

[wild sleet]

For me it’s pressing the reload button after shooting once

[cosmic monolith]

same xD

[safe dawn]

Thats just something we do everywhere

[cosmic monolith]

i just do nade chucking before dying, somehow works like 75% of the time

its less effective in h3 due to the physics

[obsidian wyvern]

helldivers actually got me to stop this

[wild sleet]

I still do it on Helldivers 😩

[pseudo pendant]

See I decide to Melee during a reload

Because reload cancelling is funny

[wild sleet]

I do that in Borderlands 1 with some of the weapons

[pseudo pendant]

Honestly this is a perfect opportunity for Halo to make a comeback. CoD is looking more like crap each year and I am not even going to sugarcoat it BF6 looks like it’s gonna be a huge disappointment

[wild sleet]

With the direction 343/Halo Studios is taking I do have hope for they can deliver a game for both old & new fans

I am still being hesitant

[drowsy coyote]

No the perfect opportunity was when infinite released

Battlefield newest game was so beyond bad and cod released another ww2 game which nobody wanted

As barebones as Halo was it still got praise at the time because of how bad everything else was

[pseudo pendant]

There’s still many people who do not trust Dice or EA myself included

[drowsy coyote]

Tbh none of these 3 companies can be trusted

But battlefield is looking solid imo

[pseudo pendant]

This is true

[pseudo pendant]

My only problem is I’m not expecting much out of the campaign

It looks very generic

They are nerfing the movement and that in my eyes is a good thing

Battlefield isn’t an arcade shooter and I want it to feel more grounded

[drowsy coyote]

Ugh I know it’ll be surprising if it’s good

[strong ether]

Yo, anyone that does halo cosplaying, if so, what material should i use if im making an halo 3 odst cosplay? I do have ground knowledge on how to print stuff, and how to do proportions right, but my concern is the right use of material.

[trim saddle]

best way to size it to test print or cut out the foam templates and make a rough draft piece to fit for yourself. Everyone has different dimensions for their body so its hard to get a "one size fits all" for armor.

[pulsar heron]

to my knowledge, EVA foam is still the standard for 99% of armour pieces. 3d printing is good for connector points, but if you're printing armour plates you have to balance weight (increased density) with fragility (decreased density)

[vagrant kettle]

I could honestly do it out of cardboard. I’ve gotten pretty good at building stuff with cardboard

A couple years ago I made Predator gauntlets

[trim saddle]

I printed a whole set for my rakshasa armor, ive just been slacking on painting it. Its all sanded and in primer and have most of the stuff to put it together 😭

[vagrant kettle]

Sweet

[waxen rose]

You can have your little mini-me’s help, recon

[trim saddle]

I dont trust pins or glue in their hands.

[waxen rose]

Might accidentally cause a revolution

[trim saddle]

or paint, it says "keep away from children" on the can

[vagrant kettle]

But I’m not a children

[trim saddle]

you arent one of my mini-me's

[vagrant kettle]

Oh I thought it was implied that I was the mini me

[pseudo pendant]

Marcus Fenix throwin it back

Wait this isn’t the gears of war discord…

[trim saddle]

freak was referring to my 2 sons.

[obsidian wyvern]

out of context this is wild

[trim saddle]

is this one of those "post this in random servers" things?

[pseudo pendant]

No i genuinely thought it was the gears server

I forgot to open it lol

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/lie-detector-lie-wrong-no-no-way-gif-43427437960130531

[strong prism]

insert the "ehhhhhhhh alarm" sound

[sonic dirge]

God this game is so dead 🙁

[trim saddle]

weird, theres full lobbies everytime I play the game. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[pseudo pendant]

I think they mean it’s not as popular as it used to be

MCC had less players now than it did three years ago

Three years is also a long time

[analog knot]

The averages / peaks of MCC are pretty much the same over the last few years

They swing up in the winter (because all games do - people are inside more)

I dont understand if you dont play and dont know thats fine but why make such strong statements lol

[trim saddle]

Thats how games are now honestly. I play a few different games and have no issues finding lobbies when I do play halo. The whole "dead game" thing is a bit annoying. its not dead, not as alive as it used to be yes, but not dead.

[obsidian wyvern]

dead in europe lol

[molten pelican]

You knew that

[sonic dirge]

after a 10 minute queue?

[trim saddle]

ive never had anything longer than 30 seconds.

[sonic dirge]

thats crazy. so its just me?

[trim saddle]

what playlists are you queuing for?

[sonic dirge]

one play list said might not be able to find a match instead fo the eta. Then I sat in Social arena for 10 minutes.

the legacy playlist said match might not be found

[trim saddle]

and what server are you on, EU or NA? It does suck but europe has a small amount of ppl playing.

[sonic dirge]

NAE

[trim saddle]

Oh weird

[sonic dirge]

let me check my server settings, maybe something weird happened.

[trim saddle]

it also depends on when youre playing too, and the younger generation just started school, older people are at work.

[worldly sedge]

You’re not gonna find any players who live in Antarctica

Or Siberia

[waxen rose]

This would hit harder if you had the video and the loud incorrect buzzer noise played

[trim saddle]

gifs with audio is just a short video lol

[waxen rose]

Recon mini-mes not recon hunter the guy he doesn't know at all😔

[empty salmon]

My rating of all Halo's campaign:

Halo 2
Halo 4
Halo Reach
Halo 3 ODST
Halo 3
Halo CE
Halo 5

[waxen rose]

Halo reach top 3 is certainly… a choice

[empty salmon]

Yeah. I enjpyed it but not as much as 4 or 2

[waxen rose]

Halo Reach couldve been my favorite if they just killed Jun

[empty salmon]

Wanna know why Halo 4 is at top 3?

[waxen rose]

Why

[empty salmon]

I have memories playing it on legendary with my brother

[waxen rose]

I felt fear because I thought you’d say something something cortana

[empty salmon]

And we sometimes had 1v1v1 with my dad and my brother

[blazing cave]

bro lol

[empty salmon]

The ending broke my heart

[waxen rose]

Wholesomecore
Wholesomecore spotted

[blazing cave]

unexpected lol

[empty salmon]

Not in usual arena map

We had that 1v1v1 usually in BTB map

[waxen rose]

I lost my hyper lethal image so the world got a little brighter

[valid portal]

halo 4
I never wanna touch it's campaign because I tried it's multiplayer with friends and all of us were complaining about the mechanics and such the entire time
we all hated it

[waxen rose]

Going from halo 3 straight to halo 4 mechanics was whiplash for me

I wonder why... 343…

[blazing cave]

im a big hater of the art style

[empty salmon]

Halo 3s multiplayer is good

[blazing cave]

but its whatev

[waxen rose]

Omg omg dont get me started on how much I HATE the halo 4/5 mc armor

[blazing cave]

you dont even have to explain lol

[empty salmon]

I remember having 1v1 with my brother and i was always the one who held flamethrower

[waxen rose]

We connect via telepathy and you just know this is peak

[delicate warren]

I think the best Halo game is gonna be the halo game based on the silver timeline

[waxen rose]

I wouldn't mind playing alongside Kai or whatever her name is
The girl with the pink-and-blonde hair

[delicate warren]

Yeah, she was cool, everything else about the show I just meme on

[delicate warren]

Yeah, idk what they were doing with the GEN 2 armors they look so weird

[waxen rose]

She was legit the only spartan in that show I was emotionally invested in

Screaming at my tv when they kill her off

There goes my GOAT

[delicate warren]

For real, it’s like the Snipers are the only goated characters Linda in halo 5, and Kai from the show

[obsidian wyvern]

this was the best thing about 4 though

😁

[waxen rose]

Cortana the character yes
Cortana the new body shape isnt

[waxen rose]

Shaking in fear

[delicate warren]

I’m be honest I kinda wish Cortana stayed dead after 4 or atleast if she was gonna be evil it should’ve been the logic plague from her time in high Charity

[obsidian wyvern]

wrong way around

[waxen rose]

My third favorite pastime
Drawing Linda and Kelly

[delicate warren]

W

Mine is playing halo modded

[obsidian wyvern]

she died?

I don't remember that part

[delicate warren]

Idk I stopped watching season 2 half way through cause it got so mid

[obsidian wyvern]

I try not to remember much from it but

I swear only that dude died

[waxen rose]

End of season 2 when she pilots the ship and kamikazes it into another ship or smthn

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

[waxen rose]

I may be misremembering it idk its been a year and a half

[obsidian wyvern]

oh with the new spartans right*

[waxen rose]

Yeah the white armored spartans

[obsidian wyvern]

my typing

[waxen rose]

Vannek died i honestly cannot remember he was so incredibly forgettable

[obsidian wyvern]

that episode was rated like a 9 on IMDb for some reason

[waxen rose]

LMAOO

[obsidian wyvern]

I felt nothing when he died lmao

[waxen rose]

Bring back my GOAT Kai
She has more character on that show than the chief

[blazing cave]

The one who put oil in her hair?

[delicate warren]

My issue is with the halo tv show the Spartans felt so bland even chief felt bland and it’s not hard to write master chief, Kai had something going on

[waxen rose]

The pink hair dye yes

[blazing cave]

She silly lol

[delicate warren]

I honestly forgot about Rizz and Vannak

[obsidian wyvern]

how I don't understand

[delicate warren]

I’m gonna be honest there’s so much I forget in this show

[waxen rose]

Why is it 8.8 stars omfg

[delicate warren]

I forgot Halsey was in the show 😭😭

[obsidian wyvern]

it was like the one ok episode and halo fans were so overjoyed they thought it was a 10

[waxen rose]

The only part about Halsey in the show I liked was how much her and her daughter butted heads
Actually gave miranda character besides “TO WAR!!1!”

[obsidian wyvern]

I say ok, I didn't like it at all

[delicate warren]

I don’t like how Miranda was a scientist tho

[waxen rose]

Halo tv show please do the divorce arc between Halsey and Captain Keyes LOLLL

[blazing cave]

i hated Mirando so much lol

they butchered her character so badly lol

[delicate warren]

Like in the games she’s so goated, but in the show she’s just what ever

[obsidian wyvern]

the game butchered it too tbf

[waxen rose]

The game barely gave her any personality it pmo
