My standing hasn’t ever changed iirc

[forest fossil]

glory to atriox glory to the banished

[valid portal]

I had to use vesktop because discord is too incompetent to fix a 5 year old bug on linux that doesn't allow you to stream audio in a vc

[obsidian wyvern]

bro I directed someone to modmail and I got reported as doxxing someone for that message

[muted rose]

By the user?

[hasty zinc]

I did it

jk lol

[muted rose]

Lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

when you click the learn about harassment link, it directs you to a page based on what you did, mine is for doxxing

which was what the other member was doing smh

[muted rose]

Bro doxxed the monitor

[obsidian wyvern]

😔

[muted rose]

Probably got you by association tbh

Happened once or twice to a friend

[obsidian wyvern]

and then naturally, when I went to ask for help in the official discord.. discord? no one believed me

[mellow fractal]

new updateeee

[quasi garnet]

13 minutes let's go

[forest fossil]

operation haloween has started

[worldly venture]

No it hasnt

It will in 8 minutes

[misty shard]

discord is low-key moronic often

[misty shard]

pawsome

more firefight bleghhh

[analog knot]

The new fortnite/discord thing is cool 😄

[misty shard]

I'm so tired of it 😭

[analog knot]

Being able to play via gfn in discord is a cool concept

[worldly venture]

Gfn?

[analog knot]

nvidia geforcenow

sorry, always see it written gfn

[worldly venture]

Oh its pc stuff

[analog knot]

its basically nvidias cloud play product

[limpid ferry]

So it appears the official Halo YouTube channel forgot to drop the trailer for the new Halloween Operation.

[forest fossil]

guys XBOX just made the game pass more expensive

why the hell wouldthey do that

[quasi garnet]

Xbox is already the most expensive gaming subscription can't believe they raised the price

[forest fossil]

i mean nothing is benefited

no exclusives

NOTHING

i going to playstation

[limpid ferry]

They’ve raised existing Console prices for no real reason either

[obsidian wyvern]

people here understand nothing lol

[wheat ridge]

Microsoft ☕

[limpid ferry]

Launched a $1000 Handheld pc

[valid portal]

I'm telling my dad to cancel it anyways since either of us hardly use gamepass or online play on the Xbox

[obsidian wyvern]

gamepass is still gonna be a good deal if you play loads of the games on their subs

[forest fossil]

i have had enough of xbox for it im heading to playstation

and nintendo

[obsidian wyvern]

and if you play Fortnite it's an even better deal

[valid portal]

just go to linux PC's at that point

because that's what I did

[obsidian wyvern]

most people aren't gonna need more than the first/second tier. I bet you'd hardly utilise the ultimate perks

[wheat ridge]

360 a year, i'd rather buy steam games during a sale

[obsidian wyvern]

then do that lol

[forest fossil]

fortnite is just an excuse to add characters without copywrite

[limpid ferry]

Sounds to me they only raised the price of Xbox game pass ultimate to make back the money they lost for raising console prices and not selling enough of them same goes for their newly launched Handheld PC for $1000

[obsidian wyvern]

Fortnite doesn't just add characters without going through the legal stuff lmfao

[wheat ridge]

nintendo is even worse

atleast they still make decent games

[valid portal]

Xbox doing this
doesn't surprise me that much but I'm also disappointed
probably because I'm desensitized to all of this nonsense

[jade gust]

Copyright is very much a big thing they have to deal with with Fortnite, none of the characters in the game are there without the people who own them agreeing to them being there

Like, if DC didn't agree, they would not have been allowed to put Batman in the game

[forest fossil]

i dont play fortnite so i wouldnt know

[steady jolt]

https://youtu.be/321otwFqEcU?si=m7nIiSfzr4rs3bti

[wheat ridge]

They often agree because it's basically free advertisement

[forest fossil]

@##$#%$&^&^%$# xbox

[valid portal]

if they actually did do it without consent of the copyright holders
they would've been struck down instantly

[jade gust]

Aye, but there still has to be an agreement between Epic and whoever owns the IP they want in the game (I imagine there is also an exchange of money but yeah, it basically is free advertising)

[worldly venture]

What?

Fortnite is literally just a kid's imagination

[meager linden]

So...
Halo 5 armor sets in the exchange is coming later this operation

[valid portal]

id give a kid any game over fortnite

[worldly venture]

They said that?

[meager linden]

Watch trailer

[tight remnant]

That was a funny trailer. I liked. Yay for exchange, also RIP tanaka. Forgotten and replaced by shinobi

[limpid ferry]

Should’ve been launched an hour in advance

[worldly venture]

Ye I saw it

[worldly venture]

Good, shes forgettable

[meager linden]

Locke, Buck, Tanaka and Vale

[obsidian wyvern]

trench incoming

[forest fossil]

lets go

[wheat ridge]

Fortnite rots your brain

[forest fossil]

yes it does

[analog knot]

H5 Armor Sets in Infinite, this means we can finally say H5 is on PC right

[valid portal]

give them og doom over fortnite

[wheat ridge]

H5 PC confirmed

We need halo 5 PC for the 10 years anniversary

[worldly venture]

Im not wrong, tell me one notable thing from her

[tight remnant]

Maybe a bit of chilling out is required. The whole gamepass thing sucks and is disappointing, however being reactionary and saying 'you're now going to the competition!' isn't the most thought out or best way of thinking. Especially since it's not all sunny rainbows there either.

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't disagree

[obsidian wyvern]

not like they're gonna switch to playstation anyway lol

didn't mean to ping

[worldly venture]

Gooooooooood

[tight remnant]

I will say I'm glad I'm now on PC. Do wish halo 5 was on PC though, and I mean full halo 5... not the cut down version

[tight remnant]

No.

[meager linden]

We have Blue Team and later Fireteam Osiris
Partially, but yeah

[tight remnant]

No tanaka actually

I don't get that decision though

[worldly venture]

No?

All I remember about her is kicking a crate over

[obsidian wyvern]

running through a rock was cool

that's really all I remember

[worldly venture]

Every other member has more background than she has

[wheat ridge]

The only problem is how are they going to handle crossplay

[royal terrace]

Nobody remembers anything about Halo 5

[worldly venture]

We all remember halo 5, how can we forget

[granite sky]

APEX 7!

[royal terrace]

I mean what was actually in the story

It’s the most forgettable campaign in the entire series

[meager linden]

Titanfall 3

[obsidian wyvern]

you all remember the story because you like to bash on it

[tight remnant]

Guiding osiris in the mindset and politics of Meridian.

[obsidian wyvern]

apex 7 was a halo 5 map

[tight remnant]

Raid on Apex 7

Fun map

[limpid ferry]

Hopefully the Halo 5 armor sets aren’t too overpriced in the exchange, also hoping they don’t have fomo for those of us who can’t afford to purchase everything right away.

[tight remnant]

But yeah having the sets in the exchange is great

[tight remnant]

Start playing, get those SP

[paper sun]

Happy Mantis hour

[wheat ridge]

They probably wanted to focus on multiplayer, for example battlefield has a campaign but it's not the main focus

[royal terrace]

I like to focus on campaigns rather than the multiplayer of games, I enjoy playing games with deep stories which is why I love Halo so much

[wheat ridge]

which is a bad decision imo

[royal terrace]

True

[wheat bramble]

Inclement Weather?

[tight remnant]

That's an assumption of what happened

Halo 5's story could have been great, but the execution if it left to be desired. Same plot points, same number of characters, just executed differently. With characters being more fleshed out and interacting more, with Jul dying later, and Cortana's change actually being explored and not having to be understood in the graphic novels/books/extra material.

I never agreed with people saying it had too many characters

Other games with lots of characters do it well. It's about how you do it, now that it has a lot of characters

[royal terrace]

Honestly the game should’ve stuck to the core of what was in its promotional campaign. Had it been the shady ONI hunt for Master Chief it was marketed to be then I think Halo 5 would’ve gone down in Halo history

[tight remnant]

The promotional campaign was made after the main story. Not the other way around

But the whole hunt thing definitely did create false expectations

But Hunt the Truth audioseries was absolutely amazing that's for sure

[royal terrace]

They still had atleast a couple months or maybe a year to change the story to make it look like what it was “promising” to be

[wheat ridge]

Promotional trailer 10/10
Game: 0/10

[royal terrace]

They should’ve either changed the story or made the marketing stick to what was in the game so people wouldn’t be lied to when they buy Halo 5

[normal owl]

I would've personally enjoyed if they had let Osiris be the focus for the big first stretch of the game, catching clues of what Blue Team left behind. Then midway through the game, we switch to see what Blue Team/Chief was up to this whole time, and we rapidly discover that "whoa they've had their eye on something way bigger than what Osiris thought it was".

But it's literally decade-old wishful thinking.

[valid portal]

I'm thinking it was some sort of miscommunication between the people who are marketing and 343

[tight remnant]

That would have been a complete disaster considering how game development actually works...

Sucks Vale didn't get a lot of interaction with the SoS and Thel. That would have been really cool seeing them take the spotlight on sanghelios relations

[royal terrace]

If bungie could’ve restarted Halo 2 and made it from scratch with about 8-6 months left 343 could’ve done it too

[royal terrace]

Lowkey Vale was my favorite because of her connections to the sangheili, shame it didn’t get used as much

[worldly venture]

Crazy to think 5 is finna be a decade old brah

[valid portal]

I doubt it, simply because infinite was in development for quite awhile and it still needed to be delayed

[wheat ridge]

AND they did it with a smaller team

[analog knot]

Hopefully w/ the next title we can have less "could have been good if" items 😄

[royal terrace]

Can’t wait for the combat evolved remake announcement

[analog knot]

I feel like those items outweigh the other deliverables for the last many projects

[tight remnant]

Both of you definitely need to learn more about how game development works better ...

[normal owl]

or at all, lol

[wheat ridge]

oh ok, more devs = more mess

[valid portal]

but there is one other point

bungie wanted to make a damn good game, devs willing to burn out harder than re entry capsules to make a game
this was awful for mental health but it showed they cared alot

343 meanwhile, seems directionless?

[analog knot]

It would be way more fun to take this conversation to LinkedIN

Then we could see Resumes

[tight remnant]

"Willing to burn out"

Please stop trying to accept bad working conditions and make it the norm

[valid portal]

read it again

[analog knot]

If the largest project you ever worked on was in grade school, probably should sit this conversation out

[normal owl]

literally laughed aloud!

[wheat ridge]

directionless? yes, they thought getting rid of the whole art style was a great idea

[tight remnant]

Also if they wanted to make a good game, why they make halo 3 and reach?

[worldly venture]

We just killing people in chat publicly 💔

[wheat ridge]

It's considered a good game by the majority of fans

[royal terrace]

Is this bait

[analog knot]

Yes its bait lol

[normal owl]

Is this bait?

[wheat ridge]

The mods probably do this for engagement

[worldly venture]

@thin token is this bait?

[valid portal]

now I remember why I left the first time

[royal terrace]

Ask the old bungie employees

[normal owl]

You made the claim about a development cycle almost a quarter-century ago; the onus is on you to ask them to back you up.

[royal terrace]

When was E3 2003

[wheat ridge]

2003

[analog knot]

(roughly)

[royal terrace]

Exact date bruh

[meager linden]

Good Halo-ween night people of Halo

[worldly venture]

About 20 years ago

[wheat ridge]

November 9

nevermind

[muted rose]

We are literally blessed by the universe halo 2 came out at all so no that is a ridiculous standard

The ENTIRE lighting system had to be cut and the game suffered for it

People worked day in and day out to get the game out the door

[worldly venture]

And they did beautifully

[valid portal]

I have no idea how majoras mask, halo 2 and fallout new Vegas came out to be good games with how short of time they had

[worldly venture]

Dedication

[muted rose]

That’s like holding games to the standard of red dead 2 or fnv

That is completely unrealistic

[wheat ridge]

Devs were passioned

[hexed geyser]

happy pre halloween boys

[muted rose]

Both were developed by extraordinarily professional crews with a love for the craft and endless dedication that is basically superhuman in comparison to the work an everyday Joe like me does

[worldly venture]

Nah i could do it

[tight remnant]

Halo 3's weapon sandbox, the characters being downgraded with sometimes bad terrible lines. Shock deaths that serve little purpose other than shock value. Truth's character being downgraded was pretty bad. Reach also had the whole campaign canon thing, bloom fest, and other issues but I don't feel like getting into it

[tight remnant]

Do it then

[worldly venture]

Give me 10 years I'll brb

[muted rose]

It’s insulting to devs everywhere to compare them frankly if you ask me

[worldly venture]

Ill give you the best game ever

[worldly sedge]

I don’t wanna know what’s going on here

[tight remnant]

And so do devs now

[wheat ridge]

only the story was rushed

[tight remnant]

Happy Halo-Ween!

[wheat ridge]

yeah...

[muted rose]

I do expect good products, but I don’t expect them to be made on a crunch

[valid portal]

the AAA?

hahaha no

[normal owl]

unless it's Capn Crunch.

[worldly sedge]

So hard for the average gamer to understand game development to be honest

YouTube is not a gaming development course

[muted rose]

It’s a gaming dumbing down course sometimes

[trail bronze]

New battle pass any good?

[valid portal]

it also doesn't help that burnout and mental health issues can happen with crunches

[wheat ridge]

They didn't update the "recent posts" tab...

[muted rose]

Both of the first two halos took a toll on bungie frankly I’m thankful they continued at all

[wheat ridge]

AAA game btw

[worldly venture]

Infinite is obviously not an AAA game rn

At most its just A. With 5 people working on it

Give the indie devs time

[wheat ridge]

quick google search says the opposite

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/seen-it-marty-back-to-the-future-ive-seen-this-one-gif-5960361

[muted rose]

Quick Google search also says I’m right and your wrong

[wheat ridge]

but right now, halo infinite is just an aaa game given to a modding team

[valid portal]

it had way more money poured into development than mgsV by multiple times over

[worldly venture]

This

[muted rose]

Me when the search engine is the source

[worldly venture]

It was built to be an AAA game but it clearly isnt in that space rn lmao

[desert bridge]

Dawgggg they’re adding halo 5 armor to the exchange no wayyy

[naive turret]

*you’re

[valid portal]

why do people give a damn about cosmetics?

[worldly venture]

Getting just buck, the rest suck

[analog knot]

Everyone has a different reason to play

[muted rose]

*yr’oure

Google said so

[analog knot]

As someone who plays Maplestory I was very surprised to see there are people paying >$1000 a month just to buy cosmetics

[obsidian wyvern]

i never really understood people who only played to grind a rank

[analog knot]

But yeah, they exist. Go off kings/queens

[desert bridge]

God forbid I say something about cosmetics 😭

[tight remnant]

I think additionally what's worse is that some people that are so wrong just entrench themselves into being wrong, and aren't even willing to try and learn and consider that things work differently than the little they know

[wheat ridge]

Halo infinte updates are just cosmetics, forge maps and sandbox changes

[obsidian wyvern]

and then i kinda did that just so i wouldnt lose to someone. wasted like 2k hours of my life

[analog knot]

Please keep your criticisms to people who arent me pls

[desert bridge]

That’s ridiculous

[wheat ridge]

At the end there's no point

[obsidian wyvern]

in the end, it doesnt even matter?

[desert bridge]

Help me revive h2a hc 😭

[normal owl]

If you don't understand that, then you don't understand a large portion of the modern gaming population and thus how modern gaming works.

[muted rose]

Tried so hard and got so far

[analog knot]

I can revive it right now - make a monthly challenge that says "Play 20 games in X playlist" boom

[desert bridge]

Lmao

[analog knot]

Theres no reason the challenge for competitive in MCC has to be WIN. That makes nobody even try it lol

[desert bridge]

Oh you’re talking about the monthly one I saw 😭

[worldly venture]

I had to fall, to lose it all...

[valid portal]

modern gaming is a plague then

jokes aside (partially), I genuinely don't understand why people are willing to spend money for cosmetics

[worldly venture]

Because it looks cool

[obsidian wyvern]

because i kinda like my spartan looking how i want it

[naive surge]

Someone with image perms post a rubber banded controller

[desert bridge]

I know you’re a bot on the game

[analog knot]

The max rank grind in MCC is fun because it takes 4 years and all of the last 30 rank icons are identical and oh yeah at some point the XP counter breaks

[valid portal]

if people like that
then why not have it be unlockable rather than behind a paywall

[thin token]

yall ever bum bait

[hybrid plover]

i like the new server photo

grok. leave

[worldly venture]

What did grok mean by this?

[obsidian wyvern]

..because people like that and they can make money off it

[thin token]

ok

[valid portal]

I can't be a bot in a game if Ive refused to install infinite for awhile and still haven't

[hybrid plover]

🤖

[desert bridge]

@thin token is this real?!

[normal owl]

Most people want things in their life to look a certain way. There may always be some categories that people don't care about, but everyone cares about how something in their life looks that is completely irrelevant to function. Even if you don't care what your car looks like, you might care what your clothes look like, etc. etc. etc. Games are just another consumer product, and many people like to customize: simple as that.

[analog knot]

I was sent another video of me flying and cheating in Infinite - a game I havent played in years - that always gets a chuckle out of me

[trail bronze]

Bc it’s an Easy money maker for them

[thin token]

idk

oh

[valid portal]

damn
they don't allow the j word

[muted rose]

Bro heavy drip is immaculate don’t even

Mandatory iron halo with a skull for everyone

[valid portal]

it just feels like exploitation to me with paid cosmetics

[wheat ridge]

Microsoft server, what did you expect

[analog knot]

Welcome to capitalism, if you sell things people want they will buy them

If they didnt want them nobody would make them

[normal owl]

If tantalizing you with something you want to get you to spend your money is exploitation, then you have willingly participated in exploitation as a regular consumer.

[obsidian wyvern]

heavy is probably my favourite for armour

[trail bronze]

You can buy Spartan points for cheap online too if you really wanted it

[obsidian wyvern]

then either assault or bulwark

[valid portal]

I meant the fomo
but I still despise item shops

[muted rose]

I love being a minigun guy in any game

Not my fault space marine is the best for it

[trail bronze]

Yeah CoD season 6 skins go hard but I don’t wanna spend more in that game lol

[obsidian wyvern]

i need to level up my heavy class, i just maxed out bulwark and gonna work on assault next

[wheat ridge]

It's not fomo, they just don't know what armors/weapons they should add to the game anymore. The cow has been milked dry.

[normal owl]

FOMO has been a part of the consumer economy for longer than any of us have been alive. The fact that anything is limited-time, whether sales or offerings, is FOMO. That's just normal business.

[muted rose]

Bulwark is pretty fun too

Assault is in your face and that’s how I like to play

[normal owl]

Heck, time is FOMO. This stage of your life is flying by and you'll never get it back.

[valid portal]

just because it's the normal doesn't mean it doesn't exploit this fear

[normal owl]

lol too right. I'm just glad credits transfer to the next game. I fell off BO6 before I spent the credits I stacked up.

[obsidian wyvern]

havent even got any cosmetics for it and its my favourite to customise

the hood and like, idk collar? is peak

[trail bronze]

I may need to dabble in that game what is it again?

[obsidian wyvern]

space marine 2

If only the Heavy was more fun to play

[muted rose]

Units bigger than just grunts tend to be a problem with heavy icl

No flinch or stun means your just kind exposed permanently

Natural tradeoff I suppose

[waxen rose]

Warhammer mention
Ick!

[naive turret]

Are you trying to call Icky? You need to mention Hot Orange juice

[misty shard]

tried the new mode

it's alright kinda stupidly easy

let myself die just to end the game cuz it got boring

that and people were quitting not getting xp

450xp for 22m isn't worth it lol

I get your greedy Microsoft but stop incentivizing us to buy tiers /hj

[wheat ridge]

That's a small update

[candid solar]

Real

[misty shard]

you could probably load into the match and die instantly and get XP ngl

[wheat ridge]

i expected more

[misty shard]

it's good for what devs are still on infinite

[candid solar]

Reminder that a true adherent for the Imperial Truth would kill you for this.

[misty shard]

consider, most of them are probably focused on something else

[rotund anvil]

Isnt the game about christianity wars

[wheat ridge]

99% of the studio is

[candid solar]

No.

The last Christian Priest was burned to death on the orders of the Emperor of Mankind.

[analog knot]

Hey supposedly the fix for logging in on Infinite was fixed today, W if true

[trim saddle]

Oooo Imma rock that needler for sure

[rotund anvil]

Idk 0 lore

[misty shard]

wrong that religions been dead for millenia, it's about humanity's struggle to survive as it kills itself against the unstoppable forces of chaos and other violences of the universe

[rotund anvil]

I only know big men fight big alien

[misty shard]

big augmented men fight cuz daddy says so

[rotund anvil]

When did lore start? 2020's?

[candid solar]

The 1980s is when Warhammer 40K started.

[rotund anvil]

1900's

[spring shoal]

Warhammer lore is best lore

[rotund anvil]

Oh, how

[misty shard]

technically Warhammer 40k lore starts millions of years before humanity was born

but Warhammer as a franchise is from like 1987

it started as a tabletop using DND minifigs and developed its own lore gradually

[spring shoal]

Boltgun was a pretty dope game when I played it

[misty shard]

boltgun ain't bad but I don't like blueberries

I prefer my masheen people

[rotund anvil]

Anyways is there lore about the 1900's or 2000's

[hybrid lynx]

where halo wars 3

[rotund anvil]

2041

[candid solar]

If you know it it kinda sucks because of how many people are entirely and utterly incorrect about what literally any faction in 40K is about.

Like the weirdly common belief that the space crusaders are somehow Christian, instead of people who, by their state religion, are required to wipe it out entirely.

[misty shard]

not much as there's no reason to be

it happens as it does irl, the emperor influencing circumstances to get hsiw ay

[spring shoal]

I agree honestly

[rotund anvil]

So when the thing happened like becoming futuristic

[candid solar]

Over time.

[spring shoal]

The year 40K lol ofc

[candid solar]

Y'know, time moving forward, that whole shebang.

[misty shard]

realistically JFK was probably the emperor if you think about it cuz he would've wanted humanity to reach the stars imo

[rotund anvil]

So what happened in other 38000 years

[candid solar]

....

[candid solar]

A lot of stuff.

[hybrid lynx]

Do we agree that the only good things 343 has put out in their tenure is Halo MCC (remake of bungie games) and Halo Wars 2 (primarily developed by Creative Assembly)?

[candid solar]

No.

[misty shard]

at some point, during the golden age of humanity, it collapses and all goes to hell

[hybrid lynx]

why don't more people play halo wars 2

[rotund anvil]

Explain the beggining like after the 2000's

[candid solar]

Because they don't.

[hybrid lynx]

is so good

[misty shard]

humanity struggles, emperor shows up, gets some dudes and takes earth, gets to Mars and gets ships

gets better soldiers and kills the original ones

[candid solar]

There's nothing specific there on purpose but what S-B just said is basically it.

[misty shard]

makes some magic warp babies

chaos no likey and sends them away

this begins the something crusade

[hybrid lynx]

are there any mods here? can we have a halo wars 2 channel?

[lethal sand]

woah the halo 5 sets will be in the exchange??

[forest fossil]

set a fire in your heart spartan. bare your fangs. fight hard, die well

[lethal sand]

awesome

[misty shard]

they do

[rotund anvil]

Some person said it in yt shorts

[analog knot]

Idk if it would make a sense to make a channel for like 20 people, I feel like ive seen it asked for before

[misty shard]

they're considered abhumans by most

[rotund anvil]

Not kidding 😭

[misty shard]

like the rat people who I can't remember the names of, ratlings I think

[rotund anvil]

So what is religion of warhammer then

[normal owl]

Skaven

[misty shard]

skaven is fantasy not 40k

[candid solar]

There is not supposed to be one.

The Imperium's "State religion" is worship of the God Emperor of Mankind, which he does not want to exist but cannot stop.

[naive surge]

I sometimes forget i own it cause its on a backwards storefront i never open. If it got a gog or steam release id buy it again

[hybrid lynx]

def a lot more than 20 people

[misty shard]

I'm talking about the abhuman freaks in 40k that are snipers usually in the Astra militarum

[hybrid lynx]

HW2 has one of the most dedicated communities

[normal owl]

I had no idea you were talking about WH at all, was just being funny. Aw rats. @misty shard

[rotund anvil]

Is there a halo HOI4 mod

[misty shard]

pun spotted

[hybrid lynx]

are y'all mostly just not HW2 fans?

[analog knot]

This is every halo title tbh, but H5 doesnt have its own channel etc

[candid solar]

I freaking HATE waffles, clearly.

[naive surge]

Yes but i dont know that its very developed

[misty shard]

goated reference

[rotund anvil]

Idk never played hoi4

[hybrid lynx]

has a single better halo game been made since it came out?

[normal owl]

I personally enjoyed HW2, but there hasn't been enough of a fan population to warrant a dedicated channel at this time. Great game though!

[hybrid lynx]

(MCC doesn't count)

[rotund anvil]

Does anyone like Cry of Fear

[misty shard]

rage bait

[hybrid plover]

what yall yapping about

Oh my god who cares

[hybrid lynx]

I'm being serious

[rotund anvil]

Or k ow it

Does anyone even like Cry of Fear

[hybrid lynx]

curious how this crowd feels about it

[hybrid plover]

i like Tears for fears

[misty shard]

I don't care about halo wars

[candid solar]

I'm just gonna say it sucks and it's the worst game ever if it'll make you stop talking about it.

[hybrid lynx]

oh

Trench, be nice.

[candid solar]

Fiiiiine.

[rotund anvil]

These clankers

[misty shard]

I keep thinking trench is a nevrean

[rotund anvil]

I hate them

[misty shard]

brother

[waxen rose]

Hate is a strong word

[candid solar]

Nop

[rotund anvil]

I remember my clanker massage got deleted like a month ago

[candid solar]

Oh. This flood Needler is... Certainly something.

I feel uncomfortable looking at it.

[hybrid lynx]

So anyway, who wants to play the only good Halo game made since 343 took over?

[misty shard]

it's just an excuse to hate on something derogatorily drop it

[candid solar]

Sure, I'll boot up Halo 5.

[misty shard]

no robo slur word have some decadence or something

[normal owl]

then wait til you see the chest piece lol

[meager linden]

Yeah, it's good actually

[rotund anvil]

Reach? Odst? 3, 2, Ce?

[waxen rose]

Halo 5
Blue team in halo 5…
Omg FRED MENTION!!!!

[misty shard]

infinite 4 or 5

[candid solar]

Oh, neat, there's a new Osteo helmet in the exchange. Neat.

[hybrid plover]

halo 5 mentioned

[naive surge]

Clearly seanagone is refering to spartan strike c'mon people

[rotund anvil]

Halo 5 is the worst

[waxen rose]

Fred simulator mention..

[candid solar]

Yeah but that one's not co-op

[misty shard]

osteo striga

[candid solar]

And other fun things bad youtubers say

[hybrid plover]

nu uh

[misty shard]

Fred durst mentioned

[waxen rose]

Blowing you up with my mind

[rotund anvil]

Halo 5 is only understandable by boks

[hybrid plover]

have you played more than 5 minutes of it?

[rotund anvil]

What website can I get it?

[candid solar]

Wait, this is just a helmet from No Man's Sky.

[hybrid lynx]

so anyway

[rotund anvil]

Or is it on steam

[misty shard]

you just say anything you disagree with is a bot bro

[hybrid lynx]

how many hours do y'all have in halo wars 2

[misty shard]

0

[waxen rose]

NONE

[rotund anvil]

Never played

[hybrid lynx]

to speak with this much authority on it 😡

[hybrid plover]

uh are you asking me how to buy a game

[normal owl]

*books

[naive surge]

Think about a hundred, dunno how to check on windows store

[hybrid lynx]

legit one of the best games ever made

[misty shard]

oh books I'm stupid :3€

[hybrid lynx]

of all time

[idle ferry]

I'm gonna try 3D printing Emile's helmet

[hybrid lynx]

if you haven't tried it, you ought to

[rotund anvil]

Take me serious gif

[waxen rose]

i just realized there’s no fire hydrants on my street

[waxen rose]

No more gifs EVER

[naive surge]

Eh, its a real good rts but like not even top 5 of that genre if im being honest

[candid solar]

So how angry is reddit about the new jack o lantern helmet.

[analog knot]

My home has a sprinkler system

[hybrid plover]

mine has a shower. does that count

[rotund anvil]

Wait yall have fire hydrants in the town?

[analog knot]

Although now that I think about it we also have hydrants. huh

[waxen rose]

Peek your head around the corner and check

[jade gust]

They're usually embedded into the ground in places that aren't America as to not take up space on the pavement/sidewalk

[rotund anvil]

I hope the pumpkin isnt canon or smth

[jade gust]

It's most likely not canon and just meant as something fun

[rotund anvil]

Uhhh

[naive surge]

Pumkins are extinct by 2300, its in one of the books

[hybrid plover]

usually there’s at least one lol

[waxen rose]

The jack-o-lanten, muahahaha
The chocolate frosting, muahahaha!

[rotund anvil]

How did it even dead

[jade gust]

Like how the Timmy helmet in Halo 5 isn't an actual helmet Spartans can wear

[hybrid plover]

i have the timmy helmet

is that cool? am i cool?

[rotund anvil]

Isnt timmy helmet homemade one

[candid solar]

Well, that's not supposed to be in there.

[visual pond]

We got any new mode for Halloween event?

[desert bridge]

Anyone in here do blender/render stuff

[jade gust]

Survive the Undead with new maps

[rotund anvil]

343 making anything but except a real good story

[waxen rose]

keep hating

[rotund anvil]

So Floodfight?

[waxen rose]

fred hears you

[hybrid plover]

just put nicki minaj in halo it’s over

[naive surge]

"Why do we have to listen to this old stuff sarge?"

[normal owl]

It looks...unfortunate.

[waxen rose]

Halo 7 dance break at the very end with Nicki Minaj
This is peak cinema

[jade gust]

No, that's not what Survive the Undead is

[hybrid plover]

that’s when i’ll buy! that’s what we all wanna see!

[waxen rose]

Amen!

[jade gust]

It's a COD Zombies inspired mode where you go up against Banished who use nothing but melee weapons

[hybrid plover]

banished zombie noise

[waxen rose]

No thx

[rotund anvil]

Totally not a bait

[trim saddle]

That'sbait.gif

[waxen rose]

Grandpa!!!

[hybrid plover]

a zombie halo game could be cool. like actual zombies, not flood

[trim saddle]

Get off my lawn

[muted rose]

Just typing garbage atp

[waxen rose]

I eated your lawn what are you gonna do now

[trim saddle]

Weird flex but ok

[waxen rose]

Grass soupppp

[hybrid plover]

shark soup

😔

[naive surge]

Dont eat grass, it'll mess up your teeth

[waxen rose]

Rest in soup; king shark

[normal owl]

mow money, mow problems.

[waxen rose]

Pay me 20 bucks to eat your lawn

I am Entrepreneurs

[normal owl]

Cranes already do that. They're beautiful from afar but they tear up the lawn.

And they are terrifying up close: freaking terror birds.

[trim saddle]

Less sass, more grass.

[waxen rose]

cranes are geese’s beautiful cousin
Same vibe
Different look

[hybrid lynx]

all of this is off topic

nothing to do with halo

let's talk more about halo wars 2?

[obsidian wyvern]

no thanks

[waxen rose]

Nothing worth talking abt with halo wars 2 that hasn't already been said

[glad aspen]

a whole level for free by playing STU lol

[candid solar]

Still super profitable?

[granite sky]

halo has grass

[glad aspen]

just like the last year

[hybrid lynx]

wym? i bet there's plenty of things to be said

[glad aspen]

you still get a lot of hero xp

[hybrid lynx]

do you know when to open ghost or grunt vs. a Forge on Rift as Arbiter?

[glad aspen]

i hope they make this permanent this time
i wanna grind hero much faster

[waxen rose]

Is that the new flood needler you have on?

[glad aspen]

yes
available in the new operation

[waxen rose]

That is certainly... A design! /pos

[waxen rose]

The helmet omg I am in love

[viscid kernel]

I hope so but likely not

[waxen rose]

Looks like the flood infected part stops at the abdomen… that is a little disappointing but it looks great either way

[steady jolt]

@hybrid lynx we don't allow anything that involves money or trades here. Feel free to use the LFG channels if you're looking for players though

[glad aspen]

monitor included

[waxen rose]

Maybe this is a hint that we will get a flood infected spartan mini boss in halo 7 /j

[viscid kernel]

Does the monitor eye change with different visor colors?

[glad aspen]

[hybrid lynx]

oh my bad

[hybrid lynx]

can we have a halo wars channel @steady jolt ?

[viscid kernel]

Well that's cool

[waxen rose]

Loving the blue

[steady jolt]

No plans for any additional channels at this time. We used to have one, as we did for other halo games, but it became to much to handle and there was little to no activity in a lot of them

You can use the #1076337363770417172 forum for HW2, I believe there should be a tag for it

Yep, there is

[trim saddle]

I like that the flood coatings change it.

[glad aspen]

so true

combat evolved needler coating is available in the exchange

[viscid kernel]

Holy

[hybrid plover]

what’s the goofiest subscription service

[glad aspen]

in the weapons menu

[waxen rose]

so vibrant I am drooling

[glad aspen]

this is gonna take a lot

[waxen rose]

YIKES-a-million!!!

[viscid kernel]

Might not need to buy the flood needler after all

[desert bridge]

They cooked with the exchange

[crimson kettle]

The ranke is reset ?

With the new season in halo Infinite ?

[hybrid lynx]

do you have connections to 343 employees

[desert bridge]

No it’s not a new season

[hybrid lynx]

who do i have to bribe'

[glad aspen]

next season starts the next month

what do you mean 41 days?

[steady jolt]

Yes

But I don't pass on requests

[crimson kettle]

My question is : The ranked in Halo Infinite is restart today no ?

[viscid kernel]

The cosmetic in the update are fire but what's new

[viscid kernel]

No

After this season

[glad aspen]

survive the undead is back in matchmaking

[viscid kernel]

Yea but it's not really new

[steady jolt]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/haloween-ii-operation-launch

[viscid kernel]

Don't get me wrong I love it

[viscid kernel]

Gonna read it before I sleep thx for the link

[glad aspen]

i mean
there's not a lot of stuff in the third operation of a season lol
but in this one they gave us A LOT of stuff to grind for

[waxen rose]

I wanna male a halo oc that wears the pumpkin helmet 24/7 for fun now
Cannon helmet or not

[viscid kernel]

Fair but I feel like it's too much yk

[jade gust]

I remember when people complained there wasn't enough in Infinite to grind for

[viscid kernel]

I didn't spend a point last season to grind for scanner

[viscid kernel]

Still don't have it

Hayabusa sucked me dry

[thorn osprey]

It is, but the point isn't for you to actually earn them. They are now adding stuff to the Exchange with super high prices to get people to just buy the SP since they can't get them to buy the cosmetics in the shop directly for inflated prices.

[viscid kernel]

I feel like the coatings are over priced except the needler it's worth it

[thorn osprey]

Plus, they are asking you to spend SP to unlock the same cosmetic you eanred in prior challenges... Like the Mesa Inclined Armor Coating.

[viscid kernel]

Never thought of it that way

[hybrid plover]

anyone finish the Alien show?

[viscid kernel]

I still don't know why is heat stress 30k if you want to buy sp to get it it'll be 30 bucks

[thorn osprey]

Yup, this is why the exchange currency purchaseable with premium curreny is a bad idea... It incentivises the developer to do stuff like this. Especially worse when they do it years after release and you get no credit for any grind you did before they add the stuff post launch. Thankfully the bad idea was scrapped for MCC... of course 343 all but abandoned that project and wont rotate stuff in the exchange anymore.

[worldly venture]

Thats...the point

The exchange was made so FOMO and unreleased items had a home

[analog knot]

Why does MCC still have unreleased items is the real question

[hybrid plover]

i like the exchange kinda

[worldly venture]

the void

[analog knot]

The exchange takes ~2 years to rotate, doesnt have items its supposed to have, and then they just...didnt release one of the items in general. Why would Microsoft do this 🙁

[thorn osprey]

Yes, but now they are readding FOMO items for players who did not "miss out" the first 3 times the challenge came up. Glad its availiable for players who missed it, but for players who allready earned it should not have to rebuy the cross core variant.

[viscid kernel]

Yea I missed out on so many event passes I appreciate the exchange even if it's overpriced sometimes

[worldly venture]

What? You dont have to buy it

They made it crosscore when the coatings went crosscore

Id know, I have the coating on every core

[viscid kernel]

You need to buy the cross core??

[worldly venture]

No

[analog knot]

I hope after Infinite we never have to hear "cross core" again lmao

[worldly venture]

Lmao real, infinite made that such a word

[thorn osprey]

Yes, for the Mesa Inclined core that is now in the exchnage.. it's showing as 5,000 credits.. even for players that earned it before.

[viscid kernel]

Idk if the core system would be in a new game

[thorn osprey]

Go look in the exchange for yourself.

[analog knot]

We can only hope. Because wow

[viscid kernel]

I love the cores (except chimera) they are a great side of the customization

[dusty oak]

Has anyone played Crysis

[normal owl]

Maximum Armor

[worldly venture]

Im not too proud to say im wrong but yea im wrong

[wise pecan]

Hey everyone

[hybrid plover]

never admit you were wrong

[worldly venture]

With some cores its on there, didnt know it wasn't on them all

[worldly venture]

I gotta stay humble

[hybrid plover]

overrated

[glad aspen]

the real falcon

[worldly venture]

Yea, odd

[forest fossil]

question. are the flood weapon models canon?

[thorn osprey]

So 115,500 SP worth of new unlocks in the Exchange for this month with only 15,000 SP + 1,000/week SP offered in the pass/capstone challenges. Not counting the 50 bonus SP after your second daily game, that's 965 games required to earn the additional SP for those who wanna complete thier Armory with this months stuff alone.

[jade gust]

The stuff in the featured section of the Exchange is moved to the sub menus so that new stuff can be featured in the featured section. This has been the case since they updated the Exchange to include the sub menus

They're not purposely hiding that stuff to annoy people

[forest fossil]

sounds like chatgpt

[jade gust]

I went through and checked the submenus, didn't see anything which was brand new to the Operation which started today

August, when it was added to the Exchange

Which is when it was added to the game

[tight remnant]

Midnight whisper, the blueish metalic dark armour coating that's the companion to the pass armour?

[thorn osprey]

Ok, I stand corrected.. Sorry, indeed looks like both were also in the exchange as part of Shadows.

[steady jolt]

If there is an issue here, or you think there is one, it's worth filing a support ticket, if one hasn't been sent already

[brave prairie]

Flood armor looks cool

[glad aspen]

amazing

[candid solar]

I was flood armor once.

It was squishy. And cold.

[faint mantle]

I wore it on Worlds

before everyone else

that makes me automatically better

(I can't forget about the 15-minute fame pls help)

[foggy parcel]

I wonder if flood clans will make a come back, since now you can dress up as the gravemind

[frosty siren]

The primordials

monument of the sins

Hmmm what next

The uhhhh idk lol

[vagrant kettle]

What is gate 1??? And how do I reach it???

[obsidian wyvern]

you have to reach steins gate

[vagrant kettle]

Also,

[grim swan]

I have a amount of lore for my sparten that would make my English teacher cry

[glad aspen]

you just need to survive the undead ;)
a lot

[vagrant kettle]

If it means 2 whole pass levels, I will do anything

But first, loading up my shiny new Xbox gift card to get the pumpkin

[glad aspen]

amazing

im sure you need to survive like round 15 to get at least 1 free level

[hybrid plover]

bf6 3 days

[cobalt kayak]

flood clans?

[tidal vortex]

@worn iris my friend made up a Jorge load out which is heavy armor, hmg, portable hellbomb and shield thingy

GUYS im nearly at escharums boss fight

help meh

[misty marsh]

What difficulty

[forest fossil]

legendary

[misty marsh]

It's lwk easy just run bro round in circles

U got this

[forest fossil]

last time i got instakilled three times

but good thing i brought the bloodblade this time

[misty marsh]

I took my sweet time with it grappling around him in circles I can't lie

[misty marsh]

Ur brave for using a short range on him

I can't remember how I did it was years ago ✨✨🫶

[forest fossil]

hardest posible.

my ranged weapon is a plasma pistol

[misty marsh]

✨

[forest fossil]

anyways il deal with him tomorrow

we will be back

[misty marsh]

I prefer his fight to harbinger or all those house of reckoning stages

No ones a bigger hater of house of reckoning than I am

Even the library was better

[forest fossil]

like dealing with horatius. he is the final boss

[misty marsh]

I've seen ppl spawn kill him with fusion coils

[forest fossil]

better then i could do

[misty marsh]

Me and my friend tried to replicate it but our dumb bums killed ourselves instead

[forest fossil]

also btw my cutom halo novel is complete

[foggy parcel]

Last flood clan I heard of, they basically absorbed other clans, this was halo 5 I think? I dunno. But they act somewhat like the actual flood

Not sure how it works entirely

[cobalt kayak]

What is a clan

[foggy parcel]

Just a gaming group basically

[pulsar heron]

i think it's funny to think that the clan themed around hiveminds absorbed other clans :p

[foggy parcel]

I dunno man, I just live here, I just find it a bit confusing how a flood clan would work, I mean its a cool idea, but confusing

[bold sparrow]

Presumably someone went "yo that would be cool" and then just went without. Any issues they ran into got paved over

[pulsar heron]

yeah on a meta level i would imagine its a similar mindset to odst or spartan clans, or even ones themed after other franchises. i was just making a joke about a clan themed around "parasites taking over lifeforms" taking over other clans

[waxen rose]

Thunderclan from warriorcats

Vote yes to Firestar as leader

Trust

[cobalt kayak]

What is warrior cats

[candid solar]

An old show

[waxen rose]

Its a book series

Gotta read all 120+ books to understand the lore

They share that in common with halo

[worldly venture]

No you dont

You gotta watch the cartoon network show with the goofy artstyle

Thundercats ROAR!

[waxen rose]

Thundercats has NOTHING on my GOAT squirrelflight from thunderclan

[worldly venture]

Opps

[naive turret]

See I've heard of Thundercats but not Warriorcats

Is this like, a GoBots situation

[waxen rose]

No

Warriorcats is as old as halo 2

[naive turret]

So a reverse GoBots situation perhaps

[obsidian wyvern]

I still have my sword from thundercats somewhere

[waxen rose]

What is gobots😭

[naive turret]

See that's my point

You know Transformers right, you don't know GoBots

[waxen rose]

Warriorcats is better than gobots because it has relationship drama

I love my fictional tea

[naive turret]

It's no Cubix anyway

[waxen rose]

All these transformers wanna bes

Warriorcats wants to be Tailchasersong soooobad

[pliant hatch]

gobots is what you got for x-mas when your relatives don't know what a transformer is.

I saw that 2 days ago omg

[obsidian wyvern]

this is a better outcome than CE 3

[modern lantern]

The fact that the UA/PHILES shoulders are STILL invisible after two operations makes me tweak a lil bit.

[naive turret]

Imagine H2 with like, good balancing and the Warthog run re-implemented.
I still reject it on principle but man

[waxen rose]

who invited Megatron’s unwanted little sibling 😭

[naive turret]

I feel like I've pushed someone into another rabbithole

hehehehe

[obsidian wyvern]

I would run laso again in the new halo 2 just to show how much I appreciate the lack of another CE

[naive turret]

(real)

[waxen rose]

All these characters are so chopped omg

He literally doesn't have a name
He’s called “leader 1”

[cobalt kayak]

Not the gobots

[naive turret]

Oh hey they named Megatron's Mini-con 'Leader 1' in Armada

[cobalt kayak]

Thats because Hasbro bought gobots

So they use then as transformers now

Mainly as brutal deaths in the comics

[waxen rose]

I dont like this guy
His name is Destroyer

[naive turret]

I used to have the Galvatron, such a sick tank mode.

[cobalt kayak]

Galvatron was a turret

Oh you mean armada galvatron

[naive turret]

This is Armada I mean, the Galvatron redeco aye

[cobalt kayak]

They did a new one

You can combine it with the new tidal wave to get a super mode or something

[naive turret]

It's cool that they're bringing some of those old designs back, and it's not all G1 and Bayformers stuff

I'm a Unicron Trilogy kid through and through

[waxen rose]

Give me more starscream. More. Starscream.

[pliant hatch]

I feel like it would just fall backwards when it shot the tank round.

[cobalt kayak]

Did you see the new armada optimus they did?

[waxen rose]

His little head spins around and he has to catch it thats kinda cute

[cobalt kayak]

They're repainting it as Nemesis prime

[waxen rose]

Grandpa aegis is awake

[hasty zinc]

I've been awake since like 9AM smh

[waxen rose]

[obsidian wyvern]

id make it 60,001 if my favourite GIFs loaded

[cedar turret]

Not sure what time zone you're in, but that is only 11 hours here.

[pliant hatch]

I used to have him. 😭

[waxen rose]

I love starscream he is so pathetic

[naive turret]

I liked it when Starscream became the size of a planet and fought Primus (God), only to get wrecked by two moons

[subtle furnace]

I swear this happened in Cyberverse but I dont remember

[naive turret]

TF: Cybertron

[subtle furnace]

You know that was my third guess

[quasi garnet]

Whats the fastest way to complete this operation pass ?

[hybrid plover]

i got a flannel on

it’s nice out

[pliant hatch]

xp boosts are good.

[blazing cave]

Bruh

[quasi garnet]

What mode ?

[blazing cave]

New Hazmat core armor !

lol

[pliant hatch]

I heard you can get a lot of xp in the survive the undead playlist.

[worldly venture]

It just came out

💔

[forest fossil]

new hazmat?

[blazing cave]

New armor pieces for the hazmat

[forest fossil]

which class?

[blazing cave]

Hazmat

lol

[quasi garnet]

Just trying to find an efficient way to grind

[forest fossil]

there are several OSTEO classes

[blazing cave]

What the

[forest fossil]

https://www.halopedia.org/OSTEO_combat_engineering_suit

is this it?

[blazing cave]

Isn’t that just hazmat? lol

[worn shoal]

Can't wait to play ranked 1v1 said no one ever.

[forest fossil]

ok you got me

itis called hazmat but in lore is the OSTEO and has several classes

[blazing cave]

I should call it the OSTEO then? lol

[worldly venture]

I get it lol

[forest fossil]

yes i guess

anyone heard about the upcoming marathon game? its a pvpve extraction

[blazing cave]

Ah so it’s OSTEO just as we would refer to chiefs armor as the mark vi

[forest fossil]

yes

[blazing cave]

What does OSTEO even mean doe

[forest fossil]

idk

its called project OSTEO

[blazing cave]

I might just call it OREO

[candid solar]

"Osteo" as a term usually refers to bones.

Which makes sense, considering it's an exoskeleton.

[forest fossil]

that makes sence

[blazing cave]

OSTEO sounds like a cereal

[forest fossil]

halo cereal armor MJOLNIR featuring OSTEO flakes

[candid solar]

It's dervied from the greek word Osteon, and usually, in medical fields, revolves around issues involving bone such as osteal and osteomyelitis.

[tidal vortex]

It'd bad

Like a very bad loadout

[blazing cave]

What about Osterios

[candid solar]

Sure,

[blazing cave]

Jk lol

[forest fossil]

there are actualy other armor things like the executors

[candid solar]

No

[forest fossil]

or was it chimera

[candid solar]

The Entrenched armor and Yoroi armor flatly are not canon, and many of the variants of Chimera are also not canon. Executors are the people forced to wear Chimera.

[forest fossil]

halopedia says that executors are canon

yoroi is not however

[candid solar]

Executors are canon, as one has been made

[blazing cave]

Dang we have to worry about the flood AND executors 😭😭

[forest fossil]

the created are dead and replaced by the banished

but it would be interesting

to see them in like an online halo game

[blazing cave]

How about we keep them…uncreated

Capeesh

[forest fossil]

because they were created. the only thing we could do is decreate em

destroy em

[blazing cave]

Yeah let’s anticreate them

man this game never fails to impress me

[forest fossil]

exaclty

[forest fossil]

aaaand what game is it

[obsidian wyvern]

no mans sky

I think

[forest fossil]

ah i see

its the one with the robots right?

[halcyon mica]

yes woman's land

[forest fossil]

no non binary and genderless land

chatgpt

[halcyon mica]

maybe enby's sea

💅

[forest fossil]

maybe

[signal wedge]

so no robots allowed?

[forest fossil]

robots are genderless

[halcyon mica]

Now hold on there, let's not generalise all of robotkind like that

[forest fossil]

they lack anything that dictates gender

[signal wedge]

yeah but clankers run on zeroes and ones

[cedar turret]

Why don't robots go off the high dive?

[halcyon mica]

I dunno. Why don't they?

[cedar turret]

They want to stay away from the can opener

[forest fossil]

is that used to reproduce?

[signal wedge]

🤨

[forest fossil]

anyways

[halcyon mica]

I hope this would've been funny if I understood diving terms

[forest fossil]

change da subject please

[halcyon mica]

What kind of pickle are you

Is no man’s sky a story game

[obsidian wyvern]

don't think so

oh yeah aegis I started uhhh

I keep forgetting the name of the game

elite dangerous, I cannot keep my ship straight bruh

[halcyon mica]

Loosely. It's mostly a space exploration lite-RPG with some survival and base-building elements

[cedar turret]

You've never seen a pool before?

[forest fossil]

what the hell is going on?

[viral dune]

Yeah

[hasty zinc]

Who wants it

[swift musk]

Man I'm fryd

Halo 2

What a concept

Juicy j could be the new sergeant jonson

[swift musk]

UNC and ts a college

[vagrant kettle]

Who tf is juicy j

[viral dune]

Well, Juicy j of course

[queen crown]

How funny, I was listening to Juicy J for the first time in years yesterday.
A zip and a double cup.

[vagrant kettle]

That doesn’t tell me who he is 😭

[queen crown]

Could always look him up.

[swift musk]

He was chief keef

Before chief keef

Gulp

[halcyon mica]

Nope. We don't have that much water here down under

[swift musk]

Ausieeee

[halcyon mica]

Oi

[hybrid lynx]

What about something reasonable like getting a production-level API key for https://developer.haloapi.com/products

I've tried like hell to no avail. The developer key is super restricted and nearly unusable

[swift musk]

I am Texan

[waxen rose]

Reminds me of the master chief chief keef art I saw a few months back

I should really send that artist some money

[swift musk]

Heh

[candid solar]

Man

I'm sad right now because I'm thinking about gorillas

And how some learned how to disbale poacher traps

And that's cool and all but like, they shouldn't have to know how to disable poacher traps

[waxen rose]

I feel bad for almost asking “the music band”

Apes are very intelligent
We forget that sometimes

[candid solar]

Like

[waxen rose]

Grandpa😭

[candid solar]

The entire reason we know they can do this is observation, right. Two researchers were on their way to disable a trap in about 2021.

When they got to the trap, one gorilla stopped them while two others disabled the trap. And it's really cool that they disabled a trap, awesome even. And they knew who the good people who helped them out were, and they knew who the bad people who set the trap in the first place were.

[waxen rose]

[candid solar]

But they shouldn't have to know that.

[swift musk]

Nice facts vro

Ale gn fentfreak09 out

[waxen rose]

The ultimate fact is that we need to enforce anti-poaching laws harder
We as in the countries who enforce said laws where the animals are being hunted in

I am forgetting which tiger species it was that we poached out of existence and only have a single photograph of

[candid solar]

There's a lot of things we need to do harder.

And one of them is to push for empathy with people.

[candid solar]

Caspian Tigers?

[swift musk]

Generalizations are bad

[waxen rose]

I think thats it

Cool hopeful fact of the day: blue macaws (once believed to be poached to extinction) have been found in the wild again

[candid solar]

Could also by Thylacines which were actually marsupials

[fading valve]

Howdy there fellers my favorite halo game is halo reach what about yall?

[waxen rose]

Halo reach mentioned
Glassed on the spot

[fading valve]

😔

[candid solar]

In a weird way I think it's understanding a lot about sympathy/empathy and human behaviors that makes Cortana in 5 so compelling to me.

Because her desire to stop wars in the galaxy, by any means necessary, makes sense, from a certain, emotional, point of view.

[waxen rose]

H5 Cortana goes way too deep with not enough time given to her
I love the point they're trying to make abt mental health but…

[candid solar]

Even if her execution leaves so much to be desired.

[waxen rose]

Justice for halo 5 cortana (make her purple)

[candid solar]

NGL a 'remastered' 5 that makes her purple would be fine.

[waxen rose]

I think halo 5 needs to focus more on cortana
I love fred and the blue team and vale or whatever but
Cortana...this is HER story now make I about HER(more so)

Too much time given to sidecharacters (who barely got fleshed out anyway)

Or you can be Tanaka and not get any lore

I think Tanaka not getting anything is just ladies in halo constantly getting the short end of the stick

[hybrid plover]

remastering halo 5 would be crazy

[drowsy coyote]

Give it another 15 years

[jagged silo]

Remastered halo infinite before remastered halo reach

[blazing storm]

Lol

[quasi garnet]

I wonder who the big bad of halo 7 will be

[worldly venture]

Probably a monkey

[worldly venture]

If halo 5 gets ported to pc for its birthday ima laugh because it took them 10 years

When is the fireteam raven console port coming

[hybrid lynx]

What if halo wars 2 comes to steam

[misty pawn]

H5 was the epitome of Halo games. They need to let it rot beside infinite.

[hybrid plover]

genuinely don’t know what’s taking them so long

halo 5 fans matter!

[worldly venture]

No one wants it so it'd be a waste

[hybrid plover]

plenty people want it

[worldly venture]

I wouldnt care if it was ported or not, at least it'll make some people happy

I still wouldnt play it however

[hybrid plover]

ight

[worldly venture]

Halo is giving me the birthday present of Osiris dropping in the exchange on October 28th

Id say it sucks but if I can get Buck for free I wouldnt complain

Hoping they not Scanner levels of SP

[zinc hatch]

Well it's either that for free or paying CoD bundle levels of overpriced for the armor.

[meager linden]

Good morning people of Halo

[worldly venture]

Lmao im never paying that much

[signal wedge]

Me

[worldly venture]

Scary..

[desert bridge]

Many people would play halo 5 on pc

[worldly venture]

I wish the same could be said for the console players of now

[desert bridge]

Most people moved on to pc, in fact there was a vote on who would people rather play next year in terms of competing. H5 or MCC and the majority voted Halo 5

[tranquil loom]

Wish they would put the reach stuff for h5 back in the store

It’s literally unobtainable

[desert bridge]

Got to take the 1% chance in gold packs lmao

[worldly venture]

Why would they gatekeep one of the few good armor sets in that game

[worldly venture]

What vote? Here?

[tranquil loom]

I don’t think you can get it in gold packs?

[desert bridge]

No, what

[desert bridge]

You can, I pulled Carter’s helmet out of nowhere last year lmao

[tranquil loom]

So even if I have everything else unlocked it’s super unlikely?

[nova lantern]

No way ppl still play halo 5

I can hardly get into a game nowadays

[lucid hawk]

I miss castle wars 😢

I think they removed it from infinite too recently

[tranquil loom]

It’s in btb
