general-chat

[mossy raven]

yeah id be a little bummed out if my new halo game was like 4 hours long

pretty sure ce is like 10 hours long or smth

[obsidian token]

In fairness, if the exact level design of CE is mostly retained in Campaign Evolved, sprint is gonna cut down on the play time a lot

We know they’re making some changes but still

[raw crag]

Speaking of halo, a bot is dm’ing me right now talking about how they were attracted to the “ninja” on my profile and that’s why they added me.

I love trolling bots

[vapid siren]

just ignore em and report

[mossy raven]

w bots ❤️‍🩹

[obsidian token]

Did they ask you if you play Roblox too?

[paper sun]

Bots need friends too

[raw crag]

No. I just said some bs and blocked

[hollow zealot]

Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahha!!

I get the joke haha!

[raw crag]

hera gets the joke W HERA ❤️‍🩹

[haughty palm]

How did master chief change his armor while falling from space

Is he magic

[shell belfry]

yep

[haughty palm]

Why doesnt he use magic for anything else

People died to the flood and he did nothing

Thats disrespectful

[obsidian token]

He doesn’t know it

Being a reincarnated demigod across time messes with your memory

I have been Roland, Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh. I have been called a hundred names and will be called a thousand more before the world goes dim and cold. I am hero.

[restive sparrow]

Halo

[shell belfry]

true

[hollow zealot]

HAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Erm nano technology duh

[restive sparrow]

He destroyed the the flood in halo 3 though 💔

He tried his hardest

[hearty flame]

I don't think he did

[obsidian token]

There’s slight design differences between his halo 2 and 3 look

It’s just not acknowledged anywhere

[hearty flame]

Oh noooo slight design differences ohhhh oh noooo

[meager linden]

It's the same mark 6

[obsidian token]

Yeah but so is the halo 4 armor :^)

[hearty flame]

Nanobots were not involved in the making of Halo 3

[meager linden]

Just owned now little scar on right chest plate

[hearty flame]

Halo 4, however...

[obsidian token]

If you wanna get technical, this might’ve been internally accepted by Bungie as of 2005 already

[meager linden]

Oh no... Anyway©

[hollow zealot]

Guess what

[obsidian token]

The Alex garland screenplay suggests the armor is self repairing

[hearty flame]

Ohhhh we're speculating on old internal dev lore oooohhh wooooooooah

It's the same Mk VI

[hollow zealot]

Guess what people

[obsidian token]

I mean I’m moving on from that, just commenting on the hypothetical nanobot stuff

[hollow zealot]

Danggg

[hearty flame]

Do you know how expensive that armor is???

[obsidian token]

That’s classified

[slim ermine]

Who here has sins of solar empires rebellion with the sins of the prophets mod?

[drifting needle]

ffs

i keep getting disconnected from games and getting banned from match making in mcc

[slim ermine]

Oh damn, that sucks

[haughty palm]

I will not stand for such blatant revisionism. The flood was defeated by the hero Rtas 'Vadum after he nobly destroyed half of africa

[slim ermine]

[haughty palm]

There’s some grunt dialogue that mentions it

[sudden hound]

I noticed some frames in Halo 5 going slow in certain moments while playing on Series X

[obsidian token]

Grunts can be a little meta, as a treat

[short token]

People still play halo 5..?

[haughty palm]

I wish

[drifting needle]

no true pc port xd

[short token]

The gameplay of the game was good but the missions were bad, only 3 with the chief like bro I don't wanna play as Locke, yes his armor is cool but still, and the prometheans were annoying

[sudden hound]

Been seeing a lot of post on X about the game, I was like "why I'm seeing this when I can simply turn on my Xbox and play?"
Now I'm here playing, starting the Sanghelios mission

[lethal skiff]

Hi guys
I’m new over here

[sudden hound]

Welcome! Make sure to read the rules
Once done, make yourself comfortable ✨

[tired bloom]

Pprometheans are worse in 4

Ayo weekly cod check in

It has 16k people on steam rn, Shesh

[indigo tide]

can anyone explain what campaign evolved is

[peak sequoia]

A remake of Halo: Combat Evolved

[indigo tide]

thanks I’m confused though. Don’t we already have that in MCC? Or is it a complete overhaul or?

[fallow iris]

🫡

[peak sequoia]

The thing in MCC is purely graphical. Campaign Evolved is a completely new game made in the Unreal Engine which will have new weapons and missions, as well as more playable areas within missions.

[steady jolt]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/introducing-halo-campaign-evolved

[coral yoke]

did my research and found that that's a bit dated. late seventh console gen i think it was

[steady jolt]

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/10/24/halo-campaign-evolved-answering-the-big-questions/

[indigo tide]

Wow thanks!

[coral yoke]

this is the late ninth if my sense of time hasn't failed on me

[indigo tide]

appreciate ya

[obsidian token]

Ostensibly the goal is to introduce players on PlayStation to halo for the first time by updating the gameplay and visuals, because CEA is already 14 years old and to be frank wasn’t the highest fidelity to begin with

[indigo tide]

Ah this makes so much more sense thanks man!!

[obsidian token]

But also I think it’s meant to help halo studios gain confidence with the UE5 tooling for future halo games

[signal wedge]

They say 2026 but no date

[mild elm]

Hello guys

[weak patio]

They shoulda done a halo 3 anniversary

[ripe lava]

Halo, how is everyone doin?

[stuck wind]

Will we see classic voice lines in campaign evolved?

[steady jolt]

Yes, original cast re-recorded their voice lines along with recording some new dialog

[wheat ridge]

Re-record flood voice

[fallow iris]

I still am in between

[stuck wind]

So Pozole and wort wort wort are getting remastered

[stoic peak]

Hey there Spartans, Marines and ODST’s. Im not a multiplayer dude im a campaign lover and lately i have been wanting to complete the campaign in chronological order on all Halo games and im looking for players to do the campaign with me from start to end and wondering will there be any players willing to do that. Im usually at work through the day but at late afternoons im avail like after 5pm CST, wondering if there are any guys out there that wanna go back to the 2000’s and such, ☺️

[stuck wind]

What’re our chances of an also CE MP?

[wheat ridge]

1%

It's called campaign evolved

[stuck wind]

If they’re doing a CE campaign remake I gotta feeling the first UE MP game is either Infinite 2 or a CE remake

[steady jolt]

Multiplayer is not coming for this

It's campaign only

[stuck wind]

Halo has potential, I hope the campaign remake can start something good with the UE games

Also it seems halo is using like a hybrid engine, both UE and the old engine so I dunno if they’re going fully unreal engine

[steady jolt]

All of the new content created in Unreal Engine 5 is layered on top of code and systems carried directly over from the original games. That legacy code is instrumental in maintaining that authentic “Halo feel” within gameplay. It means that Halo Studios can achieve the desired visual goal with Unreal’s photorealistic rendering capabilities, with the simulation systems of Halo living and breathing beneath it, Hermann adds.

[wheat ridge]

Like oblivion remastered

[stuck wind]

Oh alright

Man I’ve gotta say I love halo, I do want to support it all I can so that I don’t go back to the dumpster fire that is cod

[meager linden]

Anesthesia effect is so damn long

[signal wedge]

photorealistic

I can hear my GPU going on fire

[radiant fulcrum]

Hey all! Has the Halo Infinite Multiplayer server issue been fixed? (The dedicated server issue)?

[ocean herald]

should be fine now. there was an azure outage yesterday causing the issue

Looks like it is

Gonna rest a little, see ya all later

[short fossil]

I hope we get Brutes in CaE

[brisk copper]

probably not

[short fossil]

:(

[brisk copper]

Thel 'Vadamee really didn't want them on his ships

[short fossil]

Maybe they don’t work narratively before 2

[brisk copper]

they're in reach but they justify that by saying another fleet showed up

in Halo 2 Vadamee says he followed with all the ships in his command in pursuit of the Autumn to Halo, so that's why there's no brutes on the first Halo ring

[radiant fulcrum]

Thanks Reach, @steady jolt , @meager linden 🙂 Legend!

[tribal parcel]

I often wondered, if we take the covenant species' lore in isolation, how a halo game with species-consistent military tactics would play.

[brisk copper]

you mean like just one of the races fighting the whole thing or the covenant as a whole?

[tribal parcel]

A Halo game where you're fighting the typical covenant troops, but their behaviors and tactics are aligned with how they are described in lore.
Like, even the downsides too

Would grunts be thrown at us in charging waves and would we see brutes openly disobey verbal orders to get glory kills

[brisk copper]

think Brutes are like shock troops, send in to terrorize and cause mayhem

[brisk copper]

Grunts maybe, it is explained in the books that if left unchecked grunts breed like crazy so it's possible they'd be used in a russian style wave attack

[cloud rose]

Good morning

[brisk copper]

Unggoy = basic infantry
Kig-Yar = recon, flanking etc.
Sangheili = command, spec ops etc.
Jiralhanae = shock troops, terror force
Yanme'e = light air support (think akin to the fpv drones in todays battlefields)
Lekgolo = tanks, heavy armor support

So basically how Bungie portrayed them

[blazing yarrow]

Goob morning

[timid merlin]

Hey Halo fans and players. Didn't the trailer feel like it lacked atmosphere? Didn't it feel way too old to get new generations excited about this game? I didn't notice the AI, but didn't it feel pretty bad?

[timid merlin]

?

[blazing cave]

AI?

[timid merlin]

Aı (enemy)

[blazing cave]

If anything, you saw a 13min demo in pre build

There’s a whole year for things to get polished

[timid merlin]

The most important thing for gamers is the trailer, the material presented. Not everyone is a longtime Halo player. Being able to appeal to new generations is the most important thing. The marketing element is extremely important.

[blazing cave]

Ah well

I guess halo studios needs a marketing major in their crew

[timid merlin]

yeap

[blazing cave]

But I’m pretty sold

I love-it Halo

[obsidian wyvern]

jets does it take much to sell halo to you

[blazing cave]

Facts

I’m excited to play CE for the THOUSANDTH time 😇

[jaunty parcel]

November 9th is coming up everyone should Queue up Halo 2 for the next month

[timid merlin]

Frankly, I'm expecting a production that will make even the younger generations say, “Halo was a great game back in the day.” I was hoping for a trailer that not only old Halo players would enjoy, but that new generations would also appreciate, even saying, “Halo was amazing.”

Frankly, radical changes aren't bad. This game should be able to move beyond nostalgia.

[jaunty parcel]

im ok with changes

but please keep the core in tact

[obsidian wyvern]

original or mcc

[blazing cave]

I can’t wait to see a lot of the rework in the entire game

[jaunty parcel]

like no sprinting please that is like the whole feeling of Halo 1 gone if you can sprint

[blazing cave]

lol sprint is fine

[obsidian wyvern]

I know some people who are still after the h2a multiplayer stuff so it'd actually be a good time to hop in

[jaunty parcel]

im just gonna keep hyping up November 9th in other discord servers as Halo 2 day

[blazing cave]

I was hoping for multiplayer but I have a feeling HS is going to focus that onto somewhere else

[split viper]

Floop

[candid solar]

They gave you a toggle for if you get motion sick running too fast.

[jaunty parcel]

yeah sprinting gives me motion sickness

metaphysical motion sickness

give me an achievement no sprinting the entire game. "Like We Used To Do It"

[haughty wraith]

sprinting is just kinda boring

[blazing cave]

I just like seeing the streamlines when we sprint

[candid solar]

Sounds kinda. Diversified. Kinda. Equitable. Kinda. Inclusive.

SMH, when did Gamers need so much handholding?

[haughty wraith]

lol what

ah the toggle, nvm

[candid solar]

Shhh, I'm trying to be sarcastic, cut it out

[blazing cave]

I love handholding

[split viper]

Kinda is yeah

[haughty wraith]

Sprint feels like something thats needed because of fried attention spans lmao

[candid solar]

That's a very weird take.

[split viper]

I don’t see the point

[blazing cave]

I don’t see why not

[split viper]

It’s just the tiniest speed boost

[haughty wraith]

Feel the need to get through the game as fast as possible and not take in any of it

[compact herald]

Cardio

[jaunty parcel]

thank you

also its cuz your aim sucks

[split viper]

Fair enough

[jaunty parcel]

you should be POPPIN HEADS

[blazing cave]

Sprinting adds momentum

[split viper]

Wanna know what’s more fun than that? Rocket launcher

[jaunty parcel]

confetti explosion

[steady jolt]

Having played Halo since it first released, I was so glad when sprint was included. I explore absolutely everywhere on a first play through, but after the I'm in speed run mode. Early games can be a slog to get through

[compact herald]

Momentum adds burning calories

[split viper]

Fair

[jaunty parcel]

there is only two things more great than that, and that is plasma grenade and the magnum

[candid solar]

Increased mobility options results in increased combat options. Increased combat options results in more varied engagement tempos.

It's why even games touted for their lack of sprint these days tend to still have a plethora of movement options (Doom).

[split viper]

You mean a mini nuke and a small handheld artillery cannon

[hasty zinc]

I hope one day this community as a whole will eventually get past the fact that your futuristic sci-fi super soldier can run a little bit.

[candid solar]

But how could they possibly connect with someone having the ability to run?

[split viper]

I don’t see a problem with sprinting. What I do hate about it is that people cry about it

[hasty zinc]

we're at a point where we've had sprinting in Halo games longer than we've not had it.

[jaunty parcel]

sprinting equals run away and covenant can't get you, not how the first 3 Halo's are. If you make a mistake on Legendary you are dead in like 3 seconds tops.

[split viper]

Dude it’s just a running mechanic not a big deal

[jaunty parcel]

sprint bad

[candid solar]

The fact people act like this somehow increases skill ceiling is... Certainly a take.

[compact herald]

Oh we're slowly getting there, just a bit more effort left then we should no longer have complaints about spartans doing running exercises mid fight

[amber mirage]

Moving fast feels good. It's that simple

[robust salmon]

Halo fans when Master Chief gets the ability to sprint and they can't relate with him anymore:

[jade gust]

They would've balanced the enemies with the fact you have sprint in mind

[split viper]

WAAAAAAH

[candid solar]

Like, people forget how much Halo 5 kills you if you sprint in without thinking on Legendary.

[jaunty parcel]

that is hilarious

[steady jolt]

Well you can disable sprint in the remake if you want to, so it's not an issue

[jade gust]

Now you know what I can't help but wonder, did COD fans have this debate when COD2 added sprint after the first game didn't feature it as a mechanic

[haughty wraith]

Imo sprinting in infinite was the best it's been due to it being a gateway into slide + it only provides a minor speed boost

[hasty zinc]

slowly is an understatement, it's been 15 years

[compact herald]

15 YEARS?! Mi bombo

[hasty zinc]

coffee time

[haughty wraith]

Cod 2 doesn't have sprint

[jade gust]

It does

[jaunty parcel]

Big Red One no "Sprint"

[split viper]

Do you mean COD3

[haughty wraith]

It literally doesn't, i'm currently 100%ing the game

[jaunty parcel]

LMFAO

[jade gust]

COD 2 has sprint in multiplayer

Which still counts as COD 2 having sprint

[haughty wraith]

Cod 2 has the left stick mapped to Binoculars

[jaunty parcel]

Call of Duty sucks

Battlefield better

[split viper]

The newer ones do

[haughty wraith]

New cod sucks*

[candid solar]

[split viper]

The old ones not so much

[haughty wraith]

Bo2 is peak

[blazing cave]

I’ve been hooked on BF6 lately

[split viper]

WW2 is peak imo but BO2 is good too

[jaunty parcel]

i like the old COD games

[jade gust]

Anyway, regardless of whether COD 2 or COD 3 was the first one with sprint, I don't think people were complaining about being able to run being added, especially not 15 years after it was added to that series

[haughty wraith]

Sprint isnt a terrible feature for stuff like cod, for halo it's just kinda iffy

[candid solar]

Halo fans are weirdly insistent on chasing their windmills slowly.

I've also never seen a convincing reason for why it's iffy 15 years in.

[jade gust]

As someone who often wonders if he is Don Quixote, I kinda like being able to chase after them at a pace faster than a slow walk

[jaunty parcel]

if its being remade and the environment calls for sprinting then its fine

[haughty wraith]

Yes I chase my grain windmills through fields, thank you very much for noticing

[split viper]

But I don’t have a windmill

[jaunty parcel]

the textures look absolutely crazy

[jade gust]

Well, the environments are remade for the remake, so they'll most likely be updated to account for the additional mechanics this game has

[robust salmon]

windmills? Those are obviously giants

[candid solar]

I'm glad people got the joke.

[jade gust]

Like, I would assume we'll be seeing vehicle boosting added as well

I have a copy of the book less than a meter from me

[candid solar]

I'm going to go on r/halo to complain about the ghost having boost and not floating high enough, posthaste

[split viper]

Now I’m looking forward to that

I can never get used to the CE Ghost

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/you-know-what-you-must-do-green-goblin-goblin-willem-dafoe-norman-osborn-gif-24234930

[haughty wraith]

I got it, just like you said though

Shh, i'm trying to be sarcastic, cut it out

[candid solar]

:3

[jade gust]

It is definitely a learning experience, especially if you were used to how vehicles felt in Halo 3 and Reach before playing CE

[split viper]

Yeah

[haughty wraith]

I'm looking forward to not being killed on impact with a single molecule of the vehicles

[shell belfry]

CE ghosts were peak

[jaunty parcel]

can do cool tricks with the brake

[split viper]

I’ve played 3 before CE and I had so many questions when I first played

[hollow zealot]

Hhhhhhhhhhhhh

[candid solar]

But yeah I think the single weirdest sprint complaint to me will always be the one about people being able to run away from fights.

Like, you also have sprint, and being able to secure kills or deny the enemy a kill on you are both expressions of skill. If anything sprinting can get you into even worse messes than running normally.

[haughty wraith]

why would you run away from a fight anyway, just hide for a second and let your shields come up

[jaunty parcel]

bruhhhhhh I used to host neighborhood halo ce tournaments even after Halo 3 came out

[split viper]

Like “where’s the boost” or “why are we fighting elites” or “why can I kill Johnson”

[jaunty parcel]

Halo CE was like the flood irl

then halo 2 was like the taking over of the flood

it was so crazy my babysitter played halo 2

and she was like a normal girl

crazy absouletly insane times

[shell belfry]

Mark VI armor is still the best Chief armor to this day, 4 and 5 chief is so bad, and CE is nostalgic

[haughty wraith]

Altogether though, i'm cautiously optimistic about the remake, they just need to get better models instead of the infinite stuff, add stylized, moody sorta lighting, make sure the game runs well, and has fun gameplay and I'll be happy

[split viper]

Personally I’m a fan of Chief’s 4 armor

[tired bloom]

I think infinite has the best armour

[haughty wraith]

and maybe add a bit of dirt in the process

[split viper]

But not as good as Halo 3’s

[compact herald]

Cleanest one by far

[shell belfry]

Mhmmm

[split viper]

I’m excited for it as well

[candid solar]

Can't stand 2/3's Chief. He's so weird and lanky. It's like looking at an emaciated cat.

[shell belfry]

Well 2 and 3 are the same 2 is slightly better tho

[compact herald]

The game def needs volumetric lighting

[shell belfry]

Infinite is pretty good

[split viper]

I say 3 cuz it’s the first halo game I played and it’s my favorite

[tired bloom]

In halo 2 he has a skinny waist

[haughty wraith]

It needs that sorta washed out, mystical lighting that CE had originally

I don't even know how to explain it, the game just has that look

[hasty zinc]

I don' t think they need new models at all. Infinite has the best enemy models we've ever had. I have zero issues with them reusing them.

[shell belfry]

This hurts my soul

[split viper]

The feeling that you’re on like a mysterious alien world

[shell belfry]

Yall just didn’t grow up with old chief huh

[hasty zinc]

I did, and I still prefer Infinite chief, it's the best he's ever looked

[split viper]

Fair enough. Everyone’s got their own opinion

[steady jolt]

^ same

[shell belfry]

It does look very good

[obsidian wyvern]

for some reason I hate halo 4 chiefs model but halo 5 is one of my favourite

[cerulean sun]

Infinite looks fire

[split viper]

Infinite’s is just chef kiss for me

[tired bloom]

CE and infinite are the best looking imo

[jade gust]

The Infinite design for Chief fixes the proportion problems I had with Halo 2 and 3's design for him

[shell belfry]

I think ppl forget you could dual wield in h2

[jade gust]

Is it the colour of the armour? Because he's a darker green in 4 compared to 5

[hasty zinc]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a big fan of the OG CE chief at all

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe

[compact herald]

It needs some fog, sunrays, eerie places

[haughty wraith]

Dual wielding would be awesome in the remake, doubt it'll be added though lol

[shell belfry]

I need a 2 remake

[rigid garnet]

idk
I grew up with the first Halo, still I like almost all of the armors
especially in a single player game they could just add every Halo armor and let the players choose their most liked chief or make it unlockable things for playing different difficulties etc.

[split viper]

Fair

[compact herald]

Its too OP

[haughty wraith]

Eh

[tired bloom]

Today i will torture myself by playing spartan ops

[split viper]

Golden chief when

[shell belfry]

I wanna dual wield energy swords so bad 😭

[jaunty parcel]

https://wiki.halo.fr/images/5/52/Halo_CE_wallpaper_Chief_Dark.jpg

[split viper]

Ok Ripa

[haughty wraith]

Easy 100% achievements

[naive turret]

You say Ripa but I always think of Fal when it comes to dual wielding swords

[tired bloom]

How easy are they to get

[shell belfry]

Everytime I see this it makes me feel 8 yrs old again

[candid solar]

I did. I had the same criticism then, too.

[haughty wraith]

I mean the game is a walk in the park, so pretty easy

[hasty zinc]

people that complain about the needler having an ammo counter or the forerunner buildings not being faithful to the original but then also want dual weilding confuses the hell out of me

[tired bloom]

Ight i still need halo 4 campaign achievements too

[compact herald]

Don't we already have a needle with an ammo counter in infinite?

[jaunty parcel]

easy asf

[hasty zinc]

like pick a lane

[shell belfry]

Fr

[haughty wraith]

because you can want something changed and want something added at the same time

[obsidian wyvern]

I just think having a screen counter is a silly choice lol

[candid solar]

Nostalgiamaxxxxing

[obsidian wyvern]

but I also just never noticed it in infinite

[jade gust]

Unironically, I saw someone earlier complaining it wasn't faithful enough but that they should also add new missions to the game. I would assume they didn't hear about the prequel missions we're getting

[split viper]

He’s the only guy I know that dual wields energy swords

[candid solar]

Those Nostalgains ain't natty

[haughty wraith]

I prefer the bulky weapons they had in CE personally, not a huge fan of the sleeker stuff like the infinite needler

my needlers need a bit of chunkyness to em

[candid solar]

There's Emile's fursona-er, I mean, Jega, in Halo Infinite.

[compact herald]

Majority of these complaints come from people who are uneducated about the remake C:

[shell belfry]

Everytime I try to play 4 it makes me cringe, armor is mid, enemies look terrible, map is beautiful but that’s it

[haughty wraith]

Wild, but accurate

[split viper]

I like chunky weapons cuz it’s gives me a sense like “I have a big gun screw you”

[robust salmon]

filtered, 4 is peak gaming

[jade gust]

This is true but I kinda had to chuckle

[haughty wraith]

most of the armor is silly, but I like some of the sets, especially chiefs armor

[shell belfry]

The elites look so stupid 😭

[jaunty parcel]

343 ruined Halo

[candid solar]

Emile reminds me of every angsty angry kid who was way too into WW2 German tanks in High School. I'll take any opportunity I can to dunk on that.

[hasty zinc]

everyone take a shot

[shell belfry]

Nah chief in 4 ain’t it for me

[haughty wraith]

Ehh, moreso just kinda misguided a bit, their games are still decent compared to most other stuff

[robust salmon]

I knew a kid exactly like this

[split viper]

Would we count his wrist thingey as a sword?

[naive turret]

I missed these circles people talk in. Truly.

[candid solar]

Oh come on I gotta drive soon

[haughty wraith]

guns >>>> tanks

[jade gust]

The irony of people disliking the Halo 4 Elites is that they're actually closer to the Halo 3 Elites than Reach's ever were in regards to their actual bodies

[candid solar]

IIRC it's canonically built out of the remains of his original sword.

[hasty zinc]

everyone but you, stay safe!

[compact herald]

Only thing that needs fixing on his armor are the shoulder pads, just slap some ODST ones on and you'll see how good the armor looks

[jade gust]

It'll circle back to it I'm sure

[steady jolt]

[split viper]

Speaking my language

[shell belfry]

That and helmet is so weird

[candid solar]

Being into WW2 Germany anything is kind of a red flag lmao

[haughty wraith]

Not even that, the bulky guns are just eyecandy

[candid solar]

"I just really like the MG42 and Stahlhelms and Erika, I totally won't develop any problematic views in the future despite defending this stuff to the death"

[haughty wraith]

True, but i like pretty much any gun out of the late 1800's through 1950's so

[compact herald]

I kinda like it

[short token]

Their first 2 games were a mess, but I mean halo reach is too, the elites have melee attacks that you cant dodge, no BR is very bad too, in the MCC its better than halo 4 only

[candid solar]

I still find it annoying that they decided to have the cracked version in Infinite and have no unbroken model.

[haughty wraith]

The h4 helmet?

[candid solar]

Yeah

[haughty wraith]

I liked halo 4, I did not like hce anniversary

[candid solar]

Like battle damage is cool and all but I really want one that didn't eat a Locke backhand

[compact herald]

When you had an elite coming towards you on reach, you'd legit start panicking trying your best to flee😂

[split viper]

I think the MG42 is cool. The other things meh not so much

[light shell]

Hello

[jade gust]

I wish they'd have made the cracked visor a specific attachment

[compact herald]

Halo

[jade gust]

Like, if we had a version of the Mark VI MOD with no battle damage, it'd be my main helmet

[candid solar]

Wonder what you'd even call it.

[jade gust]

Not sure, maybe just something as simple as "Battle scarred"

[tired bloom]

Brothers in arms: hells highway

[short token]

It"s very annoying, and i get super upset when an elite jabs me in 0.000003 seconds when theres a boat load of fire coming my way

[haughty wraith]

I like the elite ai in ce

the elegance and strategy in it is unmatched

[rigid garnet]

dunno if they fixed it, but the mcc version differed from the custom edition
also I think there was something weird going on with halo 2

[haughty wraith]

Elite zealot armor from h4 is peak

[short token]

I like H2A more because theyre cool and are easy to eliminate, punch once, get behind and punch then they died

[haughty wraith]

that's boring

[short token]

How do they look i dont remember

[haughty wraith]

look up h4 elite zealot

I cant send images

[short token]

My favorite way is shotgunning them

[haughty wraith]

The helmet just goes crazy

[short token]

Meh

I wish we saw the silent shadow in a game

[jade gust]

We've seen ex-Silent Shadow thanks to Jega

[split viper]

What I hate is that they look too skinny

Not really “elite”

[haughty wraith]

Skinny in the waste specifically

[split viper]

Then again it’s a splinter faction

[jade gust]

I thought people like their Elites being skinny?

[haughty wraith]

I like my elites skinny if its the hce design

[jade gust]

Like, for years I've been seeing people making up all sorts of things to claim the Halo 4/5 Elites are too Brute-like, including about their proportions being too big

[split viper]

Skinny but not too skinny

[haughty wraith]

Every games elite has their own look

[split viper]

The Halo 4/5 elites look too skinny to me

[haughty wraith]

halo reach elites are pretty brutish and elitey at the same time

they're similar other than the waist size on h4 elites

[jade gust]

The Reach Elites are so weird looking it's not even funny

[haughty wraith]

I like em

[jade gust]

Like, they gave them black eyes for some reason and it weakens the design so much

[haughty wraith]

Especially the ultra armor

[jade gust]

They look leagues better when they have proper eye textures

[split viper]

Ugh I love the ultra armor

[jade gust]

To be clear, the armour is fine, I just think the Elites themselves when viewed without it looks so weird

[haughty wraith]

Yeah the reach elites give off an animal kinda tone

[trim saddle]

Happy Thursday Spartans!

[haughty wraith]

Hello

[split viper]

Yeah

They just seem off now that yall are talking about it

[haughty wraith]

Little bit

I don't dislike any of the elite designs though personally, just think some are better than others

[split viper]

My favorite’s gotta be the H2A elites

[copper storm]

Meow

[split viper]

Woof

[winter sable]

Whoa is that a Alastor pic

[jade gust]

My issue with the H2A Elites is their feet, they look too small

[split viper]

CRAIG I FORGOT ABOUT HIM

[copper storm]

Why are you l-

[jade gust]

Craig never forgot about you

[trim saddle]

I have a Craig action figure

[haughty wraith]

Since i've been glazing them, mine is obviously the CE elite, H3 elites are a close second because of the funny hunchback thing they've got going on

[winter sable]

CA did their best

[jade gust]

Not like that, the feet just look really awkward for them in H2A campaign

[jade gust]

Certain Affinity didn't work on the campaign of H2A, the MP used modified Halo 4 Elites (Which have messed up eye textures if I recall)

[split viper]

Maybe

[haughty wraith]

I hate the mandible clipping on MCC reach

[winter sable]

Oh yeah I think MP was running on a completely different engine too?

[haughty wraith]

Yup, modified halo 4 engine

[winter sable]

I guess they took notes from MOH 2010

[haughty wraith]

Haven't really played medal of honor tbh

[split viper]

I forget H2A has a multiplayer

[haughty wraith]

Yeah its really boring

And has nobody playing it, so

[jade gust]

The biggest difference between the Halo 4 and H2A MP Elites is they've been slightly scaled down in size and have different armour sets

[haughty wraith]

The h2a mp elite armor is egregious

[jade gust]

Which like, I wish they had reused those armour sets for Halo 5, just to give us some more Elite variants but alas, different pipelines and different teams

[split viper]

I usually run elite in most halos but you’ll never catch me using it in H2AMP

I’ll stick to my OG Chief armor

[jade gust]

I can't remember what I'm rocking in H2A MP

I want to say it's a combo of the Omega Team Mark VI gear they added a few years back

[split viper]

Not familiar with that one

[jade gust]

This stuff

So Mark VI with stuff added on

[split viper]

OOOOOH

I really like the shotgun shell shoulder pad

[jade gust]

It's something Sarge would've loved to have had

[heavy steppe]

Yeah, cause it's the Halo 4 models

[hasty zinc]

MP Elites are egregious in general

[heavy steppe]

That's not true

[hasty zinc]

[heavy steppe]

They're cute and lovely and smell like clean feathers

[split viper]

I love playable elites

[jade gust]

I think you're getting confused with Jackals, Elites don't have feathers

[meager linden]

Hello there

[split viper]

Hiya

[heavy steppe]

No no, female elites are described as having a scent resembling clean feathers in lore

[heavy steppe]

Halo there

[wild shell]

I fnd it so funny that some people are mad that halo fans are not happy with the halo games lmao idkrather its just a sprint thing or guns its a game they enjoyed for decade ofcourse they would want to show it how it was meant to be showed not a version to please to a wider audience for the sake of it?

[true ravine]

H2a multiplayer armor in general is

[split viper]

I kinda wish we got the like medieval and Viking armors in the other Halo games

[tired bloom]

I think the MPs from 343 are good its just the stories which aren’t so good.

Except halo 4

[split viper]

I’m not a big MP player but they look ok to me

[obsidian wyvern]

5k people on tf2, its so back

[heavy steppe]

I was litereally trying to type something about Halo 4 when I saw your comment

[split viper]

I thought you meant Team Fortress for a sec

[tired bloom]

Halo 4s mp is the one i disliked the most, id honestly rayher play ce than that

[obsidian wyvern]

not playing team fortress ever again

[split viper]

Fair. It’s not for everyone

[true ravine]

Halo 4 is underrated. I had a great time playing it (except for Prometheans. Screw those guys. They weren’t nearly as bad in Guardians tho)

[split viper]

Personally I love it

[obsidian wyvern]

the bots ruined the experience for me

[split viper]

Yeah but hey they’re gone now

[candid tusk]

The peak TF2 experience could only be had on The Orange Box.

[jade gust]

I wish the Prometheans would come back honestly

[tired bloom]

Campaign was mediocre but the mp was terrible imo

[split viper]

You might come across a cheater or two but other than that casual is fine

[heavy steppe]

get out

[split viper]

This

[candid tusk]

I didn't mind the Prometheans in Halo 5. Halo 4 ones were awful though.

[true ravine]

I’ve never even played mp for 4

[split viper]

It’s how I started TF2

[tired bloom]

I have orange box

[jade gust]

Like, give us the reveal that the ones who accompanied Cortana retreated into the crashed Guardian on Zeta Halo and were waiting for new orders until someone opened the thing up and disturbed them

[jagged drum]

I miss some stuff from halo 4 like the sticky detonator, spartan ops and the big team battle and that really fun and cool hardlight shield

[split viper]

Shield made me feel like Reinhardt

[true ravine]

Prometheans in 5 were pretty easy felt like. Knights went down in like three hits for me, whereas in 4 I’d spend 5 minutes just trying to tag the watchers

[jagged drum]

halo 4 was a straight up screw up but damn they had some good stuff

[jade gust]

The Knights were much tankier in Halo 5 than in Halo 4

[jagged drum]

I really wanted to use the energy sword with the hardlight shield I kinda jump on halo 4 ops just to do that sometimes

[jade gust]

Even with the weakpoints on their armour in 5, it was longer to take them down compared to Halo 4's iteration

[true ravine]

Didn’t feel like that to me

[heavy steppe]

I feel like most people don't know you can stun Hunters and Knights in Halo 5 by charging into them with the melee boost

[true ravine]

Yeah, I used melee mostly when dealing with knights in 5

[jagged drum]

Knights were alright in 5 only issues is there one frame melee they use sometimes and dumb weapon switching

They needed more polish

[true ravine]

Also, hot take but I really liked halo 4’s soundtrack

[split viper]

Everytime I hear melee and charge in the same sentence I think of Reinhardt

Mainly because I main him

[thick furnace]

117 so peak

[heavy steppe]

give him a grav hammer

[split viper]

My favorite song from the OST

[true ravine]

The music when you see the giant floating towers on Requiem for the first time after the crash is P E A K

I think it’s literally the requiem theme, in fact

[split viper]

“HAMMER DOWN” and everyone goes flying

[jagged drum]

4s soundtrack was alright, best one they ever did in my eyes that surpasses the original ost is 343s version of never forget

[true ravine]

Midnight version?

[jagged drum]

yup

[true ravine]

I honestly can’t choose between OG and midnight I really like both

[split viper]

Midnight’s ok i just prefer the original

[jagged drum]

Its a real shame too because thats the only thing that reminded me that I was playing a sequel to halo 3 honestly

[true ravine]

Haven’t played 4 in a hot minute, does midnight version play in the end cutscene or credits

[jagged drum]

only plays in the credits

[true ravine]

Oh right. Man, the ending made me tear up

[split viper]

Great now I’m getting teary eyed talking about this

[jagged drum]

Its just so annoying how that version of never forget was never used as the games menu music

[true ravine]

Now that would be awesome

[split viper]

Only in Halo 3 Mythic but that still sucks

[jagged drum]

Its very sad how halo 4 ended up in the end, barely anyone even plays it on mcc that really shocked me

[split viper]

Wait crap you’re talking about 4 mb

[jagged drum]

yeah halo 4s never forget midnight

[split viper]

Yeah that does suck tho

[true ravine]

It’s still kinda funny to me how people didn’t really acknowledge Chief in 4. They were basically just like “Hey, Chief. Good to be back?” I feel like there’d be more fanfare that the guy who saved the galaxy THRICE in a matter of months was back from “the dead”

[thick furnace]

ngl didnt like the gameplay a whole ton 💔

[true ravine]

Also Palmer’s “I thought you’d be taller” got way too much flak

[jagged drum]

My insane hot take the broadsword mission is a fantastic successor to the warthog run

[heavy steppe]

The gameplay loop just isn't halo (in MP). And it just feels like Halo Reach but worse

[true ravine]

Felt like the Death Star trench run it was really fun

Although I crashed into walls quite a bit

[thick furnace]

was that the ghost mission in 4 ion remember

[heavy steppe]

my gripe is that you can't really go that fast. You have to slow down drastically at certain points

[candid tusk]

The layout is very, very similar to Halo CE's hog run. Was good.

[jagged drum]

Halo 4s campaign was boring as all hell playing to me. But the first mission and the broadsword flying part I got hyped

[meager linden]

Wow, what are you doing on there?

[true ravine]

My reflexes are awful I kept going full speed through it

[jagged drum]

It just felt good going fast I couldnt help it,

[jade gust]

I just wish the Broadsword was given the chance to shine outside of just the Broadsword section. It handled so much better than the Sabre in Reach and I'd have loved to have fought Covenant Seraphs in it

[true ravine]

I hate long night of solace space section

[heavy steppe]

on legendary especially

[true ravine]

I pretty much exclusively play on easy and it sucks, I don’t even wanna think about how hard it’d be on legendary

[split viper]

I like 4 because Chief talks more

[jade gust]

The station is your best friend on legendary (In MCC)

[winter sable]

First three missions felt like CE but directed by J.J Abrams

[heavy steppe]

nah, I play it on legendary 'cause I'm hot headed

[split viper]

Kinda like Blazkowicz in Wolfenstein: TOB

[jagged drum]

Holy crap imagine if there was a section where you did fight Seraphs and it played a bit like star fox before making it to the actual broadsword level

[true ravine]

I only play on legendary SOMETIMES. Usually after I’ve done whatever level a few times and am used to it

[true ravine]

Halo: The Ring Awakens

[jade gust]

Or expand the final section to include Seraphs or Forerunner crafts coming to intercept Chief

[split viper]

Pffft

[winter sable]

Lmao

[jagged drum]

To me it never felt needed but happy he has more lines and cortana as well

[jade gust]

Or heck, take inspiration from Episode 6 when they go inside the Death Star and have Chief having to deal with enemy craft as he flies in through the hole Infinity punches for him

[true ravine]

Sometimes it hits me just how little time Chief and Cortana spent together but then I realize she was literally in his head pretty much 24/7

[obsidian wyvern]

multiplayer

[heavy steppe]

living in your head rent free

like, pay your share man

[true ravine]

There’s a lady in my head who calls me stud muffin

[jagged drum]

I found cortana more annoying in 3 and 4 honestly. I enjoyed her much more in halo 1 and 2

[true ravine]

The only time I found her annoying was the level Cortana with all the fricking pauses

[split viper]

Lemme guess. In 3 because of the slow down parts and stuff

[true ravine]

Took me 2 days to get through that level💀

[jagged drum]

Yeah all my friends hated it too. Wish that was not a thing in halo 3

[split viper]

I think on my white Xbox 360 that mission is locked for me

[true ravine]

God, Cortana on legendary must be an absolute SLOG

[heavy steppe]

it depends on when you use your equipment. It's kinda fun

[split viper]

Surprised that beast still runs even after two red rings of death

[jagged drum]

I remember it being very easy completing on legendary on my first try back on 360 but doing it now on mcc its just hard now for me

[true ravine]

My 360 died like eight years ago

[heavy steppe]

one ring to kill'em all

[split viper]

My condolences

[split viper]

More like multiple for me

Idk how old mine is but she’s still kicking

[jagged drum]

cant remember what happen to mine might be still around somewhere

[split viper]

I need to finish my ODST legendary playthrough and finish Oblivion on there

[compact herald]

Has anyone here tried outer worlds 2?

have yall seen this new video that came from some jamaican blud screaming out bomboclat amidst a hurricane

it went on the french news as well

its hilarious

[trim saddle]

im glad im saving space on my SSD by not downloading CoD

[tired bloom]

When does bo7 even come out

[compact herald]

this month i think

november 14

[tired bloom]

Thats how yk cod hype is dead, i remember when ppl used to know the exact date and time it will release

[compact herald]

they release games way too fast

[tired bloom]

They should do it like every 2-3 years tbh

[compact herald]

4 is enough I think

[trim saddle]

they want quantity, not quality.

[tired bloom]

Still gonna play bo7 and get dark matter and prestige master then dip like i did was bo6

[compact herald]

did u play the b06 campaign?

[tired bloom]

Haven’t touched bo6 since February

[tired bloom]

Only did 3 missions

Apparently its pretyy good

[trim saddle]

They should do a remake of WaW or WWII

[hoary locust]

I just went 38-11 in extermination and lost 😭😭

Sbmm you cruel cruel mistress

[tired bloom]

The only cod campaigns i liked were bo1s mw3s and cod 4, rest of them are kinda mid

IW had a good campaign i forgot about that

[trim saddle]

clearly the game thought you should of done better. I like getting punished for doing better than my teammates.

[naive surge]

Waw but with the dismemberment system updated to be on par with dead spaces remake

[tired bloom]

What are your guys top 3 cods

[compact herald]

b06 campaign is 8 hours long as well. Surprisingly, Halo CE beats that by 2 hours

[trim saddle]

WWII, BO4, MW2.

[tired bloom]

Someone has bo4 in there top 3 in this economy?

[compact herald]

1. Ghost, 2. BO3, 3. MW2

[trim saddle]

anything after BO4 just hasnt been fun.

[naive surge]

Mw2, waw, bo1

[tired bloom]

Bo4 is the most overhated cod in history

[trim saddle]

the blackout mode was absolute 🔥

[tired bloom]

Bo1 bo3 and mw3 are my favourite

[pliant hatch]

haddock, atlantic and ling

[thick furnace]

bo6 mw3 2023 and ghost

[iron thicket]

MW2019 remains my favourite

[dim oriole]

WaW remaster would be insane🔥

[tired bloom]

Mw19 was mediocre, bad maps, and introduced doors. That game was only good for SnD

[heavy steppe]

Halo there

[dim oriole]

Id say it started at Cold War but I agree

[wild shell]

why am i gettng warnings for saying the f word no one even read my messages it was ignored so wgaf

[iron thicket]

Bruh

[tired bloom]

i actually enjoyed cold war, even tho it was unfinished

[compact herald]

ngl i love doors but only really for search n destroy

[wild shell]

ohhh

[heavy steppe]

those damn clankers

[compact herald]

mw3 2023 was nice but too short imo

[pliant hatch]

join la resistance against them

[thick furnace]

gonna b playing bo7 a lot the beta was so good

[iron thicket]

I hope the bo7 campaign is good

[tired bloom]

Beta was pretty fun ngl, reminds me of bo3

[trim saddle]

we need a GIF of the Chief saying that, but to the theme of General Kenobi.

[thick furnace]

hopefully, its gonna be a direct sequel to bo2 so they better not mess it up

[compact herald]

i may be able to make that happen

[heavy steppe]

there is a video of chief vs general grevious and he says that

[candid quail]

holy hell, breaking even in team snipers is harder than it ever was before lol. It was sweaty before but gd

[tired bloom]

I don’t get why they didn’t just add wall running to bo7 instead of that trashy wall jump

[wild shell]

did the new halo game developers really say this ?Halo: Campaign Evolved doesn't have multiplayer — here's why. "We're not trying to replace what is a masterpiece in the original. We're trying to basically make something that stands kind of shoulder to shoulder with it..."???

[dim oriole]

@thick furnace did you guys try out zombies by any chance?

[compact herald]

never heard of this

[wild shell]

if its true im buying this game day 1

[tired bloom]

Bo7 zombies? I actually thought i was playing bo6 zombies lol couldn’t tell the difference

[pliant hatch]

sounds like something ai wrote

[wild shell]

i have no respect for games that try to replace the original ever but acknowledging and stating your not doing it and making changes is an automatic buy from me personally

[steady jolt]

Looks like it came from a Windows Central interview
https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/halo-campaign-evolved-no-multiplayer

[dim oriole]

They’re just trying to milk their fanbase for as much money as possible. Anything they say is 👎

[steady jolt]

They're really not

[compact herald]

oh boy

[wild shell]

idk i just love when i can play an old game and then play a remake and they feel different instead of completely replacing it just makes me happy

[tired bloom]

Tbh they could easily beat the original ce mp imo

[dim oriole]

That’s unfortunate I played bo6 every EE on every map and it was fun leveling up and grinding (Felt like a rouge lite) but for whatever reason the end game /gameplay isnt fun. I felt like I was only playing to unlock the next thing and not because I was having fun :/

[wild shell]

which is ironic since most people despise differences in remakes i do think however i prefer the idea of reboots but i get why games don't call it that since it will get hate

[dim oriole]

I get that, I guess I felt the same with TLOU

[wild shell]

????

theirs only last of us 1 and 2

[hoary locust]

I will simply just be better next time

[tough agate]

If halo campaign evolved is 90 -100$ then somehow halo studios failed

[copper storm]

67!

[steady jolt]

I don't see it being anywhere near that expensive tbh

[tough agate]

Ehhh

[iron thicket]

Ain't no way bruh

[tired bloom]

My bet is CE remake will be 30-40

[tough agate]

Considering Xbox and game pass prices

[dim oriole]

There’s the original game from like 10 years ago and it had some of the best stealthy multiplayer mechanics I’ve seen in a video game… a few years later they completely remastered it and called it part 1 (Without MP) but I still like and play both

[obsidian wyvern]

[tired bloom]

LA noire is such an underrated gem by rockstar

[hasty zinc]

I've seen too many bendy cringe meme videos to ever want to actually play it

[dim oriole]

I doubt the base game will be $100 maybe a deluxe version with a skin thrown in lol

[tough agate]

Almost 1,200 for the Xbox ROG ALLY I can see halo ce's remake being that expensive

[pliant hatch]

It was remade

[obsidian wyvern]

same

[tough agate]

And the rog isn't even out yet

[steady jolt]

The Ally released like 2 weeks ago

[tough agate]

? It was ?

[hasty zinc]

yes

[dim oriole]

If It’s $30 I’m getting it day one and will never complain about no MP again lol

[steady jolt]

I have the white one under my desk lol

[wild shell]

Although i stated before I prefer exclusives since nowadays consoles like xbox only have like so little hope xbox just gives them all to playstation and let xbox just drop out maybe in the future a new console company will take over and give us tons and tons of great new games but until then yeah.

[tough agate]

Oh I didn't know that it was out I thought it would some out ltr

[split viper]

BATIM mentioned

[hoary locust]

Thoughts vs steam deck? (Assuming you've used one)

[tough agate]

Bro PS5 is getting the halo remake

[wild shell]

i know

hence why i said that

[dim oriole]

Even Gears of War on Ps5 has multiplayer 😅

[steady jolt]

Although it's Xbox branded, it's also an Asus device. So I think pricing is more towards their side. Xbox do have their own native handheld console in the works, one that's not a PC handheld

[trim saddle]

Im happy that more people are getting to play halo

[trim saddle]

Halo Studios are working on multiple projects so who knows what else theyll drop on us 🤷🏻‍♂️

[candid tusk]

The pickle that comes in is ~retention~. I could get Halo CE^2 on my PS5, or I could buy it for Xbox, and it will sit neatly with all of my other Xbox games and achievements and years of history.

[iron thicket]

$1,000*
And that's hardware, not a videogame

[steady jolt]

It's a Christmas present for my wife. I set it up and it's real nice to hold, haven't played with it yet as I need her to log in with her account

[compact herald]

hope they know that if they price it at like 70, the game will flop lol. Highest ill go is 60 and that is IT

[languid ridge]

ehhh, I do believe Xbox has their own handheld, I do not believe that it won't be a PC.

[tough agate]

Fr

[steady jolt]

I'm sure they said it won't be a PC handheld

[wild shell]

Tbf if people did not have this console war hate they could have just gotten an xbox ngl

[languid ridge]

They never did.

[iron thicket]

Apparently the PS6's tie in handheld will be dockable

[hoary locust]

I've heard the grips make it very comfortable to use for a long period of time

[trim saddle]

the console wars always seemed immature and pointless to me, even as a kid.

[hoary locust]

I've been debating getting one of the other for my gf

[candid tusk]

Space+Price limitations are a big deal for some people. Arguably, it's a big deal for most people.

[tough agate]

Since halo infinite was so BUY THIS and BUY THAT it didn't do well on launch but ce could do good if they don't make it so you can buy cosmetics for weapons (tho weapon charms would be cool)

[tired bloom]

Im just gonna play it through gamepass

[compact herald]

That wasnt the reason for infinite's bad launch I think. It was because of the lack of content

[tired bloom]

Halo infinite had hardly any content at launch

[tough agate]

That and the online services we crappy

[split viper]

Same

[compact herald]

every online service in a game is crappy, have u seen BF6's?

[tough agate]

And campaign launched like 6 months after infinites original launch

[tired bloom]

BF6’s isn’t that bad tbf

[wild shell]

I just have different views hence why i love exclusives but its a mis-conception to say that we all want exclusives to feel superior I play and collect all consoles. no hate for any

[tough agate]

I don't play bf6

[compact herald]

their stuff is pretty pricey. 20 USD for a battlepass vro....

[pliant hatch]

we need the console wars to continue! chugs mt dew

[tired bloom]

If i was 12 i would agree

[languid ridge]

Infinite's campaign launched like two weeks after the multiplayer, on the day it was supposed to. The multiplayer launched early

[split viper]

I’d rather not

[normal owl]

It's not platform vs platform; it's games vs short-form video.

[fallow iris]

laughs in PC

[tough agate]

Ooo I don't remember a whole lot when the game first launched all I remember is playing the tutorials and getting mad because I got stuck on the first weapon tutorial

[compact herald]

a person who has a PC and both consoles is considered a spectator at that point

[wild shell]

Im still gonna miss how consoles were about the unique different games they provided now its just what piece of machine has better specs

[languid ridge]

Also a misconception, Infinite had an extremely successful launch

[tired bloom]

Infinite was still fun for like the first 3 weeks but it got boring fast

[tough agate]

Uh bro I have PC, Xbox 1, Xbox 1 X, and an Xbox 360 and switch

[tough agate]

U cannot call us spectators

[compact herald]

mane i miss my 360s. My parents sold them without my permission

[tough agate]

Dang

[tough agate]

How much did they get?

[tired bloom]

I still have my 360, i was playing halo 3 on it like 2 weeks ago

[compact herald]

no clue honestly, never asked

[tough agate]

Dang

[tough agate]

I meant 2 360s mb

[compact herald]

i got the 2nd 360 from my cousin because he didnt want it anymore

[meager linden]

How it's going people of Halo?

[tough agate]

Ah

[candid tusk]

Legitimately this though. Games are experiences of all shapes and sizes and time commitments. Short form video is the ultimate 30 seconds at a time soul sucker.

[wild shell]

I mentally can not have a pc im going to be honest. The idea of sheer amount of games you can just download through roms etc will just put me ina frenxy tryna play all the console games

i mean i have a laptop but still

[languid ridge]

I think the TikTok comparison was kind of silly, but they're not wrong. The video game industry competes with anything trying to grab your attention, and TikTok is nothing but bite size attention grabbers design to suck you in

[tough agate]

Ik 360s go for alot on ebay

[wild shell]

bro nooooooo

[compact herald]

its about to be great because TONIGHT, Im going to get on infinite and start blasting at grunts

[languid ridge]

Before I say this, emulation is not piracy, so any roms you play, obviously get them legally.

Anyways you can emulate on Xbox

[wild shell]

360s go for around 80-120

[obsidian wyvern]

no they do not lol

[wild shell]

yes they do i buy consoles all the tim

[obsidian wyvern]

unless u mean in like very good condition or smthn

[glad flower]

i have 4 of them in my closet lol one of them being a halo 3 xbox edition

[wild shell]

they are cheap

[tough agate]

Dang

[obsidian wyvern]

im saying they go for way cheaper, theyre like 20 to 30 here

[tired bloom]

My 360 is still in good shape, ive had it since 2011 or 12

[wild shell]

yeahh i got mine for 60 i sold it but still

[compact herald]

I dont like using PCs either, just dont sit right with me. I like the idea of using consoles, because I feel like Ive gone back to the old days of gaming

[normal owl]

Yeah definitely true for what both of you said. Every single time I get on, I'm hoping for whatever is the most bite-sized: with my limited time, the potential of a game to be modular in how I arrange my time playing becomes more and more valuable @languid ridge

[wild shell]

just didnt wanna low ball

[candid tusk]

Pricing on eBay is all over the place.

[tired bloom]

I still have a box of xbox 360 and ps2 games, never getting rid of them

[obsidian wyvern]

i guess ppl either think very little or very highly of their 360 atp in time lol

[trim saddle]

we dont talk about this here.

#rules-and-guidelines

[languid ridge]

This is part of the reason that a game like Minecraft is so popular

[wild shell]

for me personally is why i say people who havenot played halo is just xbox hate cuz reality is 50-60$ for a xbox original and 360 your not being gatekept from playijng halo im sorry

[tired bloom]

Crackdown 3

[trim saddle]

Love that game.

[languid ridge]

Or maybe, they don't feel like doing that?

[tired bloom]

I remember when that game was hated

[normal owl]

I still have some tracks from the soundtrack in my regular rotation: was thumpin!

[candid tusk]

There are a lot of reasons to not play a FPS besides disliking a platform. lol

[iron thicket]

What take is this bro

[trim saddle]

I started a playthrough with my kids with my maxed out character, we were having a blast.

[languid ridge]

Juat because someone would like to play Halo on their own platform rather than buying another console, even if it is an old one, does not mean they hate Halo.

I desparately wanted Halo to be on PC, didn't mean I hated Xbox

[wild shell]

A normal take bro or do you think waiting decades to play a game is more resonable

[languid ridge]

Also Halo CE and Halo 2 were both on PC as well, so like the fact that Halo 3 and above were not on PC was kind of like a slap in the face

[meager linden]

Finally, anesthesia effect is down
This was... Quite long

[tired bloom]

Crackdown 2 is my favourite one

[iron thicket]

I'm just baffled at how unreasonable of a thing you just said

[compact herald]

What happened?

[wild shell]

these consoles and getting the game is the price of one game today its wild to not have just done that .

[wild shell]

baffled by what?

[meager linden]

I went to the dentist today

[languid ridge]

#general-chat message

[compact herald]

What did the dentist do for ya? (im studying dentistry btw)

[tired bloom]

Both crackdown 1 and 2 are free wth

[meager linden]

Cracked teeth in some places

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/my-man-together-smile-gif-20682410

The orb sound has been my ringtone forever. Though I've had my phone on vibrate for like 15 yrs lol

[compact herald]

bad fractures?

[meager linden]

Something like that

[candid tusk]

They are. Related to the time for gaming side convo, I have these installed, I just haven't attempted starting either of them because I don't know how involved they are. lol

[compact herald]

Ah get well soon mane

[trim saddle]

I had tiny tina from borderlands as a ringtone for a while lol

[languid ridge]

Why is it that "2" is usually the best game?

Halo 2
Portal 2
allegedly Crackdown 2
Modern Warfare 2

[candid tusk]

It's a chronic issue nowadays. So many things to play, no idea if I'll have time to enjoy them without interruption, so I just stick to what I know I can get in and out of in ~15 minutes sessions like Halo.

[tired bloom]

GTA 2

[naive surge]

eyeing up the valve catalog i wonder when we'll get deadlock 2

[iron thicket]

The opposite is true for movies. Sequels tend to not be as good

[languid ridge]

There are plenty of examples of sequels that have surpassed the originals

[trim saddle]

theyre just a fun arcade shooter with a platformer feel and blow stuff up and collecting things. story is fun too.

[tired bloom]

I will always have a soft spot for gta 2 idk why

[naive surge]

Shrek 2 skews that statistic so much

[meager linden]

I don't know why, but when it's raining, I'm always looking to upward
(Not fan of ODST thoughts, but...)
Even if it raining on games or real life

[compact herald]

still gotta hit that ODST pose. its a necessity

[languid ridge]

Spider-Man 2
Shrek 2
Puss In Boots The Last Wish
Aliens
The Godfather Part 2
Avatar Way of Water
Dune Part Two

Empire Strikes Back

T2

[obsidian wyvern]

dune > dune 2 sorry

[normal owl]

and 3 is where you look back and mourn the fellow games that had great 2's but never made it to 3.

[languid ridge]

I'll learn to forgive you in time

[obsidian wyvern]

this was targeted before u even saw me typing

😤

[normal owl]

I didn't see you yet but I knew "this is going to be a sore spot for Rev" lolol

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[languid ridge]

Every Valve series ever

[normal owl]

and Star Wars Battlefront

[languid ridge]

Battlefront is a sore point because it stopped at 2 twice

And both Battlefront II's are objectively the best games in that series

[split viper]

There’s only one thing that I loved from 2015 BF

Walker Assault

I wish it was in BFII

[rose mango]

t

[split viper]

u

[naive surge]

Half life 3 was great idk what youre talking about

[tired bloom]

Valve cant count to 3

[dim oriole]

Portal 3 is game of the year 100%

[molten pelican]

real

[dim oriole]

If you go back and play it today it seems like a game that could drop this year. Way ahead of its time idk how they fumbled that

[naive surge]

I thought the throughline narrative of lfd3 was underwhelming but the ability to duel wield m60s was great

[split viper]

What in the Wolfenstein

[molten pelican]

Titanfall 3

[languid ridge]

I don't understand what EA was thinking. It had a massive resurgence, the Celebration Edition, TROS expansion, it was hitting peak numbers like above their launch numbers, the moment was going great we were readying ourselves for Ahsoka and Ventress.....and then.....it just stopped

[fickle drift]

$

[past kettle]

I love wolfenstein

[split viper]

Same my favorite’s Old Blood

[languid ridge]

Team Fortress 3 was better

[naive surge]

Miss pauling as the 10th class was peak

[split viper]

I really liked playing as Saxton Hale

[solemn vine]

why cannot i customize my char? i bought some outfit in the store

[steady jolt]

Try restarting your game

[solemn vine]

it says my gpu is not up to the requirement

[solemn vine]

when i restart

but i can play the game fine

[pliant hatch]

see if your gpu needs an update.

[thick furnace]

which game

[solemn vine]

it say cannot find the supported graphics device

[steady jolt]

Probably want to open up a support thread in #1075989764026675210 to troubleshoot further

Include your full specs there

[solemn vine]

how do i open it?

[mild elm]

Guys, what's the solution for depression? Does Panadol help?

[solemn vine]

psychiatrist

[mild elm]

Wrongggggg

The answer is... Panadol

[pliant hatch]

Click the plus sign in the bottom right to start a thread

[compact herald]

or try @viral dune hot orange juice

[solemn vine]

panaldo is for fever and headache

[mild elm]

But it's ok i am not a doctor

[steady jolt]

You should reach out to your GP for advice or speak to a therapist

[mild elm]

Should I

[native juniper]

You don't want to mess around with psych meds without someone with a background

[mild elm]

Its not for me

[compact herald]

Yes. You'll get alot of help

[serene pine]

Getting offline, seeing a professional, sticking to your care plan, and being honest

[pliant hatch]

I thought everyone on discord was a doctor

[steady jolt]

Discord is absolutely not the best place for this, speak to professiosnals about it

[native juniper]

It took like 4 different meds for me to find one that worked.
One of them REALLY screwed up my temper

And every brain reacts to those meds differently

[split viper]

Mostly servers. A close friend could help

[serene pine]

Dont miss doses either, highly reccommend do not miss doses

[pale grove]

I like halo

[stark pelican]

Can concur with Stckr on this one.

[compact herald]

Would be the right move to stand beside that person who is going through depression and help them in any good way possible

[split viper]

If you didn’t you wouldn’t be here

I’m joking sorry if that sounds rude

[compact herald]

rude

[split viper]

:(

[split viper]

NO NOT TGE CUPCAKES

[mild elm]

Thanks but he said you dont help what's wrong with panadol

[stark pelican]

Is it his birthday?! 😮

[solemn vine]

how do i post to community self help?

[split viper]

Gotta wait till June for that

[pliant hatch]

^

[trim saddle]

Mines in 12 days weeeee

[compact herald]

Panadol is not an antidepressant, its sole purpose is to reduce fevers and pain but not the type of pain that comes from depression. I would advise him to seek professional help, trust me it helps ALOT

[obsidian wyvern]

this is clearly bait

[mild elm]

[hasty zinc]

if discord didn't do that stupid loading thing it would be quicker

I wonder if I could capture that, but I'd have to be like super fast

[amber mirage]

Back in the day there was. We're not allowed to have nice things anymore

[molten pelican]

Aegis official recorded screenshot time: 0.0000463 of a day
