Bros talking from experience

I know what you are desireddream

roblox is like the worst platform of the century i hate that chuzz

[waxen rose]

Roblox taught me english but it lowk socially stunted me

[raw crag]

same

not the english part i was born with it but the second part

[waxen rose]

Halo Tycoon got a negative effect on my psyche

[raw crag]

same with ai apps in 2022 bruh im so glad im not addicted to ts anymore

honestly 2020-2023 are the worst years of all time

[odd anchor]

Real

[bright patrol]

Maybe....

[simple bison]

I grew up with Sega game consoles personally, only reason I got into Xbox was because one of my friends back in the day had be OG Xbox and we played Halo 2 all the time. Then I got one and we would do lan parties

[waxen rose]

Twin…

[raw crag]

how many twins do you have

[waxen rose]

4

[raw crag]

am i included

[waxen rose]

Yes

[wild shell]

hope xbox dies a new consome company comes in woth tons of new unique ips would be goated

[bright patrol]

Brother...

[ivory echo]

R.i.p

[odd anchor]

I wish I could play Halo combat evolved for the very first time again

[bright patrol]

You will, next year

[wild shell]

No just no

[bright patrol]

Yes just yes

[wild shell]

No that's not experiencing halo ce for the first time again that's experiencing trash

[stoic crown]

im too young i wasnt allowed back in the day to play rated m games

lol i got to start playing halo when halo 3 came out on xbox 360

[harsh bane]

Fairly different experience, but it'll be fun and meaningful anyway

[clear prism]

Just finished halo Ce, main takeaway guilityspark lied, we destroyed the ring, sarge died, we’re floating in space. Now boutta play halo 2

That flood mission had my heart racing

[hearty flame]

When did 343GS ever lie

[meager linden]

When in CE we're floating in space?
Can't remember though

[hearty flame]

The end

[hybrid plover]

should i make popcorn

even tho it’s 1 am

[worldly sedge]

And now Halo is coming to the PlayStation 😎

[fickle drift]

Spoilers after 25 years🥀 🥀 🥀

Can’t believe halo 2 had the legendary scene “to give the covenant there bomb back”

[hollow swan]

[heavy steppe]

smh, should've bought an xbox, have 'em deal with spoilers

[heavy steppe]

No perms?

[gaunt lance]

who else has a crush on cortana?

[coral yoke]

hey just don't go cheating on chief alright?

never a good idea getting on his bad side in general

[vital ore]

The Humble Atriox:

[tired bloom]

Lalalalala

[main gate]

Dont remind me i want him back

[heavy steppe]

they gave him the Two-Face treatment at the end of Infinite

[gaunt lance]

hell naw don’t say that name to me again

“humble”

[bright shoal]

guh

[mossy raven]

you dont think we’ll see him next entry?

[main gate]

Theyve been so radio silence on an actual new Halo story i just dont know.

[mossy raven]

truth nuke

but pretty much guaranteed he’ll be the main villain in halo 7

unless they pull a halo 4 or halo 5 on us

[meager linden]

Today's is 9 year anniversary when PPAP dropped on YouTube
Time goes so quickly🥲

[signal wedge]

Pen pineapple apple pen

[grim pagoda]

Is the ‘new’ halo going to be playable also on the Steam Deck? I am curious

[compact herald]

Nothing has been mentioned about that but probably ye

[coral yoke]

steam page says steam deck compatibility is unknown. that's to be expected as it hasn't released yet

[covert ocean]

im working on a carboard ma5b that can be pulled back and has loadable magazine

[old jolt]

Hello

[potent musk]

Is CE Anniversary more canon?

Everybody is wearing the same uniform as they did in Reach, so imo Anniversary is more canon

But I dunno

But maybe HS would like to override all this stuff and make Campaign Evolved canon.

[potent musk]

Campaign Evolved will be released on consoles so unless the game is too much for the Steam Deck I don't see why not

[short jasper]

Does anyone else have bugged achievements on PC,and if they do what was the fix?

[grim pagoda]

I hope so, is there anything known about it already like how the game itself will be? I mean, is it just a revamped CE or does it have additional missions

[potent musk]

It has 3 extra missions set during Reach (I think?)

[candid solar]

Set before, from what I've heard.

[potent musk]

It was something like the good 'ol days when Chief and Johnson had 2 sticks and a rock

And they had to share the rock!

No fancy-shmancy tanks like the Battle of Installation 04.

[naive turret]

CEV Tank - Shoots straight

CE fans in shambles

[grim pagoda]

Sounds good 🙂

[normal owl]

Most likely. Halo Campaign Evolved will be on Steam.

[compact herald]

legit drooling for the day this comes out. Im going to grind like crazy on it

[regal palm]

Is the new halo game coming out tomr?

[coral yoke]

be honest with me here. is this even a question.

[regal palm]

It has a question mark

So probably

[tacit glacier]

I dont think so, UE5 is pretty demanding

[regal palm]

Will i be able to run it on my xbox 360?

[compact herald]

Ya you can run CE but not the same CE that you know of

Really excited about this. Just bought this to be shipped from England. Love old maps and now there's a beautiful collection from the University College London's map library!

Hola/Hello

[silver arch]

Kind of a nothing burger of an article ngl. I think people have far greater questions to ask and I believe much of this has been answered already.

Not dissin on ya, just stating how I feel about the article

[past wind]

[raw crown]

my only real concern for the remake is performance. h2a still runs poorly and UE5 is notorious for stuttering

[meager linden]

Good evening people of Halo

[trim saddle]

Good morning Spartans

[silver arch]

Gmorning

[silver arch]

Yeah I'm also worried about that. Couldn't be bothered to finish stalker 2 because the performance just kept getting worse. UE5 seems like a great engine, but nobody wants to optimize their games that run on it

[brisk copper]

afternoon here

[spiral solar]

Good morning kings

[raw crown]

for sure, I think it's fine if you're cool with 30fps locked but ue5 performance is more stuttering / unstable than anything

[waxen rose]

I wake up the morning and im jumpscared by cortana first thing

[odd anchor]

Haiii

[silver arch]

Hello

[cursive berry]

Yo

[fleet pawn]

Hello

[night forum]

Whats up

[fickle drift]

Y

[raw crown]

what?

[fickle drift]

Why ue5 so bad

[raw crown]

it's just usually not very optimized and devs use it to make games by default very pretty so you have visually shiney games that feel awful

[fickle drift]

Why cant it just be optimised then

[heavy steppe]

ask Epic Games

[trim saddle]

That's not very epic of them

[fickle drift]

@dense plaza why cant it just be optimised then

[heavy steppe]

bruh

[trim saddle]

Weee firefight grind continues

[fickle drift]

Do you has recon

[fickle drift]

You could even say... that the fight is 🔥

[jade gust]

It's less that games made using UE5 can't be optimised and more just the work to optimise the games isn't always done, normally due to pressures from higherups wanting games out faster

[trim saddle]

I'm wearing it in my pfp

[fickle drift]

Exactly

[compact herald]

once I get income, Imma try to get a hold of the mark 7 helmet

one of the best looking helmets imo

[jade gust]

Love the Mark VII as well. Only reason I don't use it anymore is because I wanted to change up my look for a bit

[compact herald]

Id love to show you what my spartan looks like but i cant share anything here. Its basically the mark 7 helmet with chief's halo 4 armor

looks nice and clean, but all I need is the cinder ring coating

[trim saddle]

I have that one too 😁

[compact herald]

Oh how much did it cost?

[trim saddle]

I have H3 Hayabusa, H3 MK V, H3 Recon, Reach ODST, Infinite MK 7, Infinite Chief, and I'm working on Reach Recon.

I made the Hayabusa, MK V, and reach recon, bought the rest. I don't remember how much the MK7 was but it was on Etsy.

[odd anchor]

Sleepy

[trim saddle]

Can confirm.

[compact herald]

Imma check out the mk7 rn

[trim saddle]

According to my calculations 🤓 I need 180 games for onyx career

[compact herald]

ya theres a variety ranging from 30 dollars all the way to 300

[compact herald]

calculated mine, to be able to get hero rank in 3 months, I need to play 30 games a day

which is physically impossible for me

[trim saddle]

The one I have is made from foam, if that helps narrow the search.

Shop name was precision props

[meager linden]

Easy task for me
I played even more, maybe... 35 days on match
It was all for just reaching Hero Rank

[compact herald]

I only found noble's helmet from precision props

and they got ODST

oh boy once i get an income, imma stack up on these 😭

[odd anchor]

Anyone know where i can get a perfect replica of the energy plasma sword?

[trim saddle]

Echo is another name they go by

[compact herald]

Damaged Echo Props? is that them?

[trim saddle]

Could be? If it's foam then maybe.

[compact herald]

I think it is them because their recon helmet is crazy similiar to yours, pretty sure its them

[viral dune]

Time travel to the year 2552

That is if you come out alive

[odd anchor]

Oh my gosh

[compact herald]

there is no if, he just wont 💀

[trim saddle]

I bought the recon from someone else tho lol

[odd anchor]

She will.

[trim saddle]

Plasma sword from which halo?

[wheat ridge]

tf is a plasma sword

[viral dune]

Still counts as getting the sword, if only for a couple moments

[odd anchor]

Combat evolved, I've look almost everywhere and it's really hard to see an accurate one maybe im not looking at the right places

[odd anchor]

😭😭😭

[steady jolt]

Maybe someone from the 405th could point you in the right direction
https://www.405th.com/

[odd anchor]

Thank you! I appreciate it.

[coral bramble]

Once i got a good enough income I straight up made an entire ODST cosplay, out. of. metal. Had to make it realistic

[shell turtle]

anybody else play Halo 4?

[coral bramble]

I've just got to find some smart coding person who can create an actual HUD in a helmet, and I've got to find a way to make a Hemet that has a HUD.

[odd anchor]

What's halo?

What even is halo ?

Lmfao

[coral bramble]

Hardest part is making a polarized visor that's strong enough to be dropped without being cracked, and I don't work with glass.

[shell turtle]

its the game series, how do you not know that

[odd anchor]

How do you even do that

[odd anchor]

I was being sarcastic:D

[coral bramble]

That and somehow managing to jury rig some sort of electronic inside of It too project onto the inside the visor without compromising the comfort of it.

[shell turtle]

thank you for clarifying, im sorry

[odd anchor]

It's okieee😭

Don't be sorry lmao

[coral bramble]

That's what im trying trying to figure out. I know some motorcycle helmets have HUDs but they're expensive and i don't want to buy one for 400$ just to rip out the tech.

[odd anchor]

Buy one from Amazon its cheap

[coral bramble]

Then I'd have to find someone who can screw around with the tech to make it project an ODST hud.

It's a big project for me. Spent lots of money on this.

[steady jolt]

Someone at the cosplay contest last weekend did just this, Let me see if I can find it

[coral bramble]

Oh hell yeah TY

[odd anchor]

I'm trying to think but my smooth brain wont let me

[coral bramble]

I have next to no experience with engineering tech like this sort of stuff. It's absolute hell for me to try and find a solution to it. Maybe an Augmented Reality projector could work. It'd need to be small enough to fit inside the helmet next to my skull though.

[steady jolt]

https://www.youtube.com/live/OrvqXfY_7tU?t=22846

[steady jolt]

Timestamped at the right spot, the helmet it pretty sweet

I can't use them either 🙁

[unreal dagger]

I was grinding all day yesterday on inf to finish all of the halloween quests

[odd anchor]

Mhm

[jolly condor]

Oh hell nah I already grinded inheritor on halo reach not doing that again to send gifs

[odd anchor]

Anyone here started playing halo at a very young age? I started playing halo 1 and halo 2 at like 8 years old 😭

[trim saddle]

Well I've been here for 2 years and still don't have it, then again I don't chat consistently so idk what metrics they look for when the bot automatically grants it.

[jolly condor]

I cant enjoy grifball anymore, it became my 9-5 job

[trim saddle]

Sorry, I've been here for 3 years.

[odd anchor]

My dad thought me how to play it:3

[jolly condor]

yeah same, played the halo 3 beta with my dad when I was like 10

[odd anchor]

Nice nice!!

I completed the first mission on halo reach LASO last night

[odd anchor]

That's cool! Congrats

[misty marsh]

My dad had me on it at 2 💪

[steady jolt]

Gif role isn't tied to anything in-game, it's just named inheritor as a nod to the universe

[jolly condor]

ty ty

[calm fiber]

The ability to embed and upload images is disabled by default. This privilege is granted to users who have the Inheritor role, which is automatically assigned by our bot based on various factors.

[odd anchor]

At 2?! 😭

Damnnn

[jolly condor]

yea I know, it was just too good of a joke to not say it

[grim pagoda]

I need to finish Reach, 3 and 4 on Laso but I just don’t want to go through those games again xD

[odd anchor]

Gimme it bot 🤬

[misty marsh]

Patience is not the guys strong point lol

[jolly condor]

My first halo was CE on the original xbox

[odd anchor]

I can see that

[jolly condor]

wait maybe it was halo 2 cause I thought it looked better lol

[odd anchor]

SAME

[coral bramble]

I have a breakthrough. I can use a 3d printed projector that's small enough to hang from near my forehead, projecting the custom HUD. A Buddy I know Can do all tech stuff. This would project the HUD onto the inside of the visor.

[jolly condor]

based

[odd anchor]

I love the old graphics

[jolly condor]

Do I need a role to screen share too?

[odd anchor]

Halo 1 will always be my fav

That and reach too:3

[coral bramble]

Powering it with a military NVG battery pack on the outside of the helmet, looping it through a pinhole to power it.

[steady jolt]

That's fully disabled here

[meager linden]

I'm curious now

[jolly condor]

i want to screenshare LASO to the serverr

[nocturne sleet]

Hi

I'd imagine it's a headache to moderate since it can't exactly be watched at every second

[odd anchor]

Haii!

[nocturne sleet]

How are you???

[odd anchor]

I'm good! Hbu?

[thin rain]

Will there be multiplayer in the halo ce remake

[faint mantle]

You can share your ideas at the 504th's forum, they can also give you advice on what to do.

[faint mantle]

There will be Co-Op as far as we know

[coral bramble]

Was just about to create an account

[steady jolt]

Yep, campaign co-op and splitscreen, but no multiplayer

Co-op is also cross platform, which is cool

[molten pelican]

hi

[jolly condor]

The memes for cross platform between xbox and playstation will be so funny

My playstation teammate: shows them driving off cliff

[steady jolt]

[nocturne sleet]

The important thing is that I have my health.

If it doesnt have multiplayer, it better cost less than 50 dollars

[meager linden]

If Jun died, we would never seen Palmer.... Or other Spartan 4
But, than Kat would be recruiter for Spartan 4 generation

[cinder dune]

i do that

[waxen rose]

Kat couldve hit a jig in halo 5 if she had lived
Just think of what was stolen from us

Kat victory dance

[tired bloom]

Jun did nothing wrong tbh

[waxen rose]

Jun existed and thats problem enough

[tired bloom]

Jun was nonchalant and cool

[waxen rose]

Jun isnt invited to my birthday party

[meager linden]

When it will be?

[tired bloom]

Jorge is my favourite noble team member

[vagrant kettle]

Is it because you weren’t invited to his?

[waxen rose]

In 8 months

[waxen rose]

No I went to his just to photobomb all his photos because I am evil

[meager linden]

Long enough
You can invite me, if you want

[jade gust]

Can confirm this, I was also photobombing

[waxen rose]

Jun can't have one happy day if we can help it

[jade gust]

He doesn't know about how none of his sniper rounds are in his magazines, they've been replaced with crayons

[waxen rose]

Okay
Wade RSVP to my halo 5 themed birthday party

[waxen rose]

Make the crayons his least favorite color just to add salt to the wound

[fathom bolt]

That’s fine.

[silver hound]

Ik it is

[fickle drift]

does anyone know if the halo flood would ever make some attempt to recreate a spartan or make something on the same scale as one?

[vagrant kettle]

I don’t think they would need to, it could just infect a spartan or improve its combat forms.

[steady jolt]

^ that. They just want to consume life

[thick furnace]

they usually just go to infect spartans

but those big brute guys from halo 3 are probably near hunter or spartan level

[fickle drift]

hm

thank you

[waxen rose]

I've been saying ts for the past year
Halo 7 I hope the flood comes back JUST to infect a spartan and we gotta fight them as a mini boss

maybe we can fight like… flood infected Samuel or sum just to make the chief miserable LOL

[meager linden]

On halo 7 I expecting to see more Endless

[waxen rose]

Yeah it seems like the endless it becoming a far bigger plot point
Not that I dislike it

[hearty flame]

Given that the Flood can already mold and shape things to whatever it wants, outside of piloting MJOLNIR, I just don't see why a Spartan would be any more deadly than any other Flood form

[waxen rose]

Its just
Master Chief vs Horrorterrors beyond the human comprehension

[hearty flame]

Moreover given that Flood often transform into non-humanoid beings, I just don't know why they would want to stay in humanoid form

[waxen rose]

Flood become more humanoid so they can whip and nae nae
Doncha’ know?

[hearty flame]

If they expand on the flood in another project, I'd love to see those questions answered

[pliant hatch]

unless they try to make a 'terminator' flood to infiltrate areas, there's really no point. Most of the flood are already huge and they have numbers to overwhelm things.

[jade gust]

I also wouldn't expect the Flood to actively try and be covert. At most we'll just encounter some with active camo from before their hosts became Combat Forms

[waxen rose]

The flood should just be door-to-door salesmen and infect anyone who opens their door

[pliant hatch]

they'll just send out the popcorns to infect everyone.

[silk beacon]

Guys

Spartan points are overpriced20$ for 20k

When you can grind 20k in like 30 minutes

[pliant hatch]

you're not gonna play 200 games in 30 minutes.

[past wind]

No negativity November

🌸

[willow hamlet]

No spending november

Gotta save for a car

[meager linden]

Alright
See you all tomorrow

[harsh bane]

I always interpreted it that the Flood's "endgame" is entirely unique forms, but they have to rely on bodies and their forms until they develop enough. Like, a late-stage infestation would be nothing but pure forms, with all newly-acquired bodies dedicated to biomass.

[reef fulcrum]

anyone wanna play, I got no halo friends

Unenforceable

[jolly condor]

killzone was awesome, I wish shadowfall didnt flop

[sterile scarab]

D'invention

[wild shell]

how yall feel about halo chronicles cancelation

[sterile scarab]

Put sushi

[wild shell]

think it would have been good

[pliant hatch]

versions of it

[jolly condor]

oh noooo

[sterile scarab]

Over-the-counter

[wild shell]

send me the rest

[odd anchor]

Tuna mayo

[sterile scarab]

Get up marines and je suis à l'hôpital et toi comment ça se fait I will take control of it was a temple after the creation et toi and the Federal Union's Capitol of a new habitable planets

[odd anchor]

Sushiiiiiiiiiiiii

[sturdy wharf]

Which game has the most well designed campaign from a gameplay standpoint?

[odd anchor]

I know right

[sterile scarab]

Reach

[tropic kiln]

halo 5 has the best gameplay imo

[odd anchor]

Fortnite

💀

[wild shell]

reach the issue is reach is in that weird standpoint where everyone knows its the best but either have so much nostalgia for the old ones they are born with or people who just wanna be part of liking everything new. Which leads halo reach in that area. However, it is the best by miles

[jolly condor]

I think halo 1, theres not a single gun that is useless on legendary

[wild shell]

fortnite is fun

[odd anchor]

Combat evolved and reach is best game don't @ me

[keen sequoia]

NASCAR CHAMPIONSHIP TODAY RAGHH

[jolly condor]

In terms of level design? Not halo 1 lmao

[sturdy wharf]

Isn't that against the server's rules or something

[odd anchor]

Depends on my mood.

[wild shell]

delulu?

[odd anchor]

WAIT WHAT

[bright shoal]

We yes WE want the library to be even longer in the remake

[odd anchor]

Maybe

[sturdy wharf]

Except for automatics which is my biggest problem with the bungie games

[tropic kiln]

lol

[jolly condor]

The library needs to include 20 more minutes of monitor yapping and whistling

[velvet bough]

What if we went through CE forward again after going backwards

[bright shoal]

also no

you can talk about all the halo games with genuine criticism without getting nuked

[jolly condor]

Even the AR in CE was useful on legendary, for grunt clearing mainly

[bright shoal]

just dont cuss 3 times or you'll be sealed for 24 hours

[pliant hatch]

what did you use the needler on

[jolly condor]

It was useful as an SMG mainly because the spread was crazy wide

[sturdy wharf]

Maybe this is a hot take (I don't know why I never hear it) but the enemies felt too spongey, like there should never be a Halo enemy that takes more than 2 sniper heads to kill

[jolly condor]

hunters and also everything else lmao

[sturdy wharf]

The library gets carried by how fun the shotgun is to use

[wild shell]

people compare doom to halo but playing doom its not even close by miles i would go as far to say that even cod is colser to halo than doom

[tropic kiln]

until a flood with a spnkr appears

[pliant hatch]

eww

[turbid schooner]

anyone playin infected on reach?

[jolly condor]

Well halo CE is like doom for having health kits and powerups to extend your survivability

[bright shoal]

infected has to be my least favorite mode on reach

[sturdy wharf]

Yeah or just use the magnum

[wild shell]

might be comparing eternal your tight

right not tight*

[jolly condor]

On legendary the needler is best used on hunters and jackals

[sturdy wharf]

CE's version of jackal snipers

[pliant hatch]

ironically, reach's version gets the most praise.

[compact herald]

whats the best game mode on halo infinite for XP?

[normal drift]

1000 more combat forms to library

[jolly condor]

The people that break out of bounds ruin the mode lol

[pliant hatch]

probly the living dead playlist if you survive a long time.

[vagrant kettle]

Firefight or thunderbowl, if you can find a match.

[wild shell]

well as long as halo infinite does not have micro transaction or battle passes should be good

[tropic kiln]

bro has NOT played infinite

[vagrant kettle]

Lol

[wild shell]

i have not

[odd anchor]

[pliant hatch]

I read people getting 25-40k in the living dead playlist.

[jolly condor]

The fact that there is a choice between the magnum or the AR is good design. Now in the remake would you EVER use a 32 round mag AR to clear grunts? The Vengeful Vadam spent his entire play session on the remake just testing guns, and the AR can barely even kill 2 grunts with one mag. It needs the 60 round mag.

[tropic kiln]

nah but i prefer infinites model

game is free and i can get nice free stuff

[jolly condor]

nice free stuff = helmet that makes you look like a block of cheese

[pliant hatch]

if they up the damage, then it'd be fine at 32.

[odd anchor]

What do you call an angry carrot?

A steamed veggie.

[sturdy wharf]

Yeah until later levels where you always want the magnum on for hunters / mini sniping / noob combo so... yeah, power crept by power weapons

[odd anchor]

Bruh im soo bored

[tropic kiln]

u missed hayabusa 🤪

[jolly condor]

Yeah in a sandbox sure, but its Halo 1, the mags were 60 and retcons in a remake are just in bad taste

[wild shell]

free games are just lower quality

i had no idea it was free but thats all i needed to know

[tropic kiln]

how

[bright fjord]

Hey guys, im stuck at the login screen for mcc

[pliant hatch]

I agree, but it's one solution if they keep it at 32.

[sturdy wharf]

Maybe I'd use it if they buff the damage or fire rate, as it stands even the original ain't uniquely useful outside of the flood

[bright fjord]

Theres just a grey box even after i logged in

[jolly condor]

if you want to see how much use the AR gets on legendary, take a look at halo 1 speedruns

[tropic kiln]

download cloudfare 1.1.1.1 and try again

[bright fjord]

I thought it would be fixed after 2 days but nope

[sturdy wharf]

I'm approaching this from more of a regular perspective rather than a speedrunner one

[bright fjord]

Whats that

[jolly condor]

look up how to reset your login key maybe

[wild shell]

because they put more money and develop a finished game with little to know micro transactions in gull 60-80$ games

What if they change the mag size to 90 or 120 instead lol

[pliant hatch]

what if they made mc ten feet tall. it's based on lore.

[jolly condor]

I think you are looking at it from a perspective of not using it yourself

[cedar turret]

The proper magazine size for the Ar is 23

[bright fjord]

Another guy has been having the same problem

[tropic kiln]

sorry its cloudfare warp, its like a vpn

[bright fjord]

It is not fixed

[vagrant kettle]

Exactly. Box magazine full of 7.62 is going to have less bullets

[bright fjord]

Last time this happened to me, the game fixed itself in a day

[jolly condor]

Guys halo is meant to be cool, not realistic

[cedar turret]

And it should take 38 bullets to kill

[vagrant kettle]

Yeah, sorry about the ping.

[jolly condor]

and less bullets in the mag is just less fun

[sturdy wharf]

I do like using it in terms of fun factor

[tropic kiln]

i dont understand what are you trying to say

[pliant hatch]

yeah, it's why mc doesn't know how to prone in the game.

[tropic kiln]

trust me bro it fixed it for me

[jolly condor]

I mean on legendary specifically, on all other halo games the assault rifle isnt very useful at all on legendary, so you wouldnt be wrong to assume the one in CE would be bad too

[vagrant kettle]

Because he can’t get back up again

[bright fjord]

If you say so ig

[pliant hatch]

he's been slacking on those pushups.

[tropic kiln]

u can disable it after loging

[steady jolt]

Yeah, you need the Chumbawamba skull for that

[bright fjord]

Why does it happen tho, how did u find the solution

[jolly condor]

thank you I never saw that button

I just thanked a bot I am so stupid

[wild shell]

if you do not see the difference in quality you are to far gone.

[vagrant kettle]

Buddy I have 1 game

@bright fjord please make a thread in the support section, as advised earlier. There may also be people with similar issues, you may want to search the forum before posting

And it’s halo infinite

“Too far gone” lol who do you think I am

u need to find more games trust

i dont exactly know why but i knew it had something to do with my internet

Delete your xbox live logins on your windows credentials manager, this will reset the login information and hopefully let you login

I just rediscovered a perfect image I had saved from ages ago... Would've loved to have remembered this for two weeks ago when I was busy playing Z-A

[hasty zinc]

We do not allow political discussion here.

[grave bough]

Oh gotcha

how we feelin about the art style of the ce remake?

[jolly condor]

no bueno

[grave bough]

its so close to being good

[jade gust]

It's what Halo Combat Evolved would look like after 25 years of Halo's artstyle evolving, I don't think there's much which needs changing

[jolly condor]

It looks good graphically but there is way too little attention to how it makes us feel

[grave bough]

I agree. I think if they add some shaders and dirty up the metal and make it look a little less crisp it would go a long way

[jade gust]

Define, add some shaders

[grave bough]

i havent been excited for a halo game since halo 4 came out and broke my heart. Its weird wanting to play it this bad

[grave bough]

everything looks too realistic. Thats the problem with good graphics, theres less of an art style than when graphics were simple and cartoony

Realism can only look like itself

[silver arch]

I was excited for infinite and was promptly disappointed

[jolly condor]

For example, The Vengeful Vadam spotted major details that were left out in the remake. The biggest offender was a mountain face having a huuuge chunk missing from it, revealing a forerunner structure embedded deep within the mountain. This is simply a normal mountain with no hole in the remake.

[mossy raven]

you mean on the forerunner stuff outside right? Bc all the other metal in ce is super shiny

[grave bough]

yeah outside

[jade gust]

You know, for once someone has said something unique instead of blind hate on the artstyle, I have to applaud that

[jolly condor]

yeah, I can look outside my house at the VERY realistic looking dead grass, but its not pretty despite having the best ever graphics lol

[grave bough]

its something that I notice about VR fps games. They all feel the same because they are esentially the same game with different skins. Once something becomes realistic, theres only so much you can change

i prefer unrealistic unique graphics over realism for fantasy games for the most part

[jade gust]

See that's less of an artstyle problem, that's more down to just simply overlooking adding that detail. Given Vengeful brought it up and devs have responded to the video saying the feedback provided was done in a way which is very much stuff they can act up, I imagine they'll be looking to add in that detail

[tropic kiln]

just play og CE bro

[jolly condor]

i didnt know they responded to it, thats good

[grave bough]

Me and my wife play it all the time. It just feels so good. We are going to go into the woods and hang a sheet sometime hopefully soon and project it and play in nature at night

[jolly condor]

If thats what we have to do, halo studios wont make money, I think they should appeal to halo fans

[tropic kiln]

i will buy it if its good

[silver arch]

Honestly, pretty graphics can still be blended with a unique artstyle, but modern audiences only care about how realistic something is. Heaven forbid it looks "old" or "low-quality". That's just a bad game and the devs don't care about their jobs

[grave bough]

i LOVE that they have released so much so early and are taking feedback

[silver arch]

Well we'll see if they listen

[tropic kiln]

campaign evolved does have a nice artstyle

[jolly condor]

borderlands is a game that never lost its good looks due to amazing art direction, same as combat evolved

[grave bough]

i havent seen the community positive about halo in so long, I hope they understand what potential they have to win it big

combat evolved is timeless in the way that the original mario games are

[jolly condor]

pleaase watch vengeful vadams video, its pretty, not artistic

[tropic kiln]

i have NEVER seen halo community be positive once

[grave bough]

Halo 2 aged terribly imo, but halo 3 will alwats look amazing to me

[silver arch]

This is true, was mostly just making a general statement about modern game design/audiences

[tropic kiln]

you can have your own opinions bro

[jolly condor]

After being ignored by 343 for so long, its alot better considering the devs actually watch the criticism videos apparently

[silver arch]

True, not a fan of how 4 looks, but it certainly cemented itself in the gaming world with its unique cel-shaded artstyle

[jolly condor]

Its information

[silver arch]

That is not how art works, sorry to say

[grave bough]

nah when i see campaign evolved I see halo CE. Its not a remaster, its a remake. I dont want it to be 1:1 CE bevsuse we already have the original easily accessible

[tropic kiln]

its his opinion

[grave bough]

im excited for the new changes to see how it plays reimagined

[jolly condor]

Vadam states facts that he himself studied, he didnt even complete the remake demo because he spent his entire session testing stuff. Its not an opinion.

[tropic kiln]

wdym testing

[sturdy wharf]

HOLY CRAP, I JUST THOUGHT OF THE COOLEST IDEA

[jolly condor]

You can choose "ignorance is bliss" of course, just know you dont have all the pieces

[sturdy wharf]

Arbiter easter egg, like how they added Yuri and Makarov in the Modern Warfare remasters (not the remakes)

[odd anchor]

Bruh nothing is helping my sore throat not even numbing spray 😭💔

[jolly condor]

weapon damage, ammo drain on battery weapons, AI behavior

[compact herald]

is the applied score to a carreer rank considered XP?

[grave bough]

HALO: Cigarettes

[odd anchor]

Am I cooked chat?

[jolly condor]

yes

[cedar turret]

I'm personally hoping it'll be more like I'd hoped CE anniversary was going to be before I was disappointed and it just turned out to be a graphics rehash. New levels, fixing some of the stuff that didn't really work, mechanics from later games, weapons and enemies from later games.

[tropic kiln]

thats not artstyle

[silver arch]

It does have a nice artstyle, but it's not entirely authentic and focuses more on that "pretty realism" to cater to modern audiences. That's one of my major problems with the CE remake

[grave bough]

dude i cant wait to clap elites with the BR, they wont know what hit em

[jolly condor]

he touches on artstyle too

[silver arch]

Too much detail I think

Less is more

[tropic kiln]

yea his opinion

[compact herald]

?

[jolly condor]

You're ragebaiting

[tropic kiln]

no carreer rank xp and operations xp are different

[sturdy wharf]

"500 AR mag size"

[compact herald]

im trying to increase my career rank

[tropic kiln]

bro i havent seen the video and i can assure you he talks about how it doesnt look like og ce etc

he complains because he doesnt like it

[jolly condor]

Watch the video and learn, or dont

[tropic kiln]

what did he say about it then

[silver arch]

Regardless of the authenticity of the artstyle or how it looks, it style has an artstyle. I don't know how it couldn't. Not saying it's special or good, it's nice to look at and it's a cool adaptation ig, but that's about it. Still, it's art, a bit soulless, but still art.

[jolly condor]

Do you not like vadam or something? Its legit just stuff you havent seen about the CE remake.

[silver arch]

He made good points about the graphics/stylistic choices

[hasty zinc]

halo youtubers

[silver arch]

It was a great video and I would hardly call it complaining

[tropic kiln]

i saw some of his videos

[jolly condor]

vadam literally MAKES halo content, he isnt speaking from opinion, its experience.

[odd anchor]

What's your favorite Halo comments?

[tropic kiln]

yea i played halo too lol

[silver arch]

Well he still shares opinions. Not everything he comments on is de facto

[odd anchor]

Mine is when cortana went "rogue"

Cortana is a baddie

[naive turret]

She was pretty villainous in H5

[odd anchor]

Fr

[tropic kiln]

exactly, its his opinion about the artstyle

[cedar turret]

Her villainous arc is foreshadowed in CE and 2. And as much as Hate PLAYING Cortana in H3, it's storytelling regarding Cortana's descent into madness is fantastic

[tropic kiln]

i like both, forerunners structures look like infinites

[silver arch]

The use of placeholders and disregarding elements of Halo CEs artstyle ARE fact for sure

[jolly condor]

If you have rose tinted glasses, thats fine. But outright denying information just cause you want to be a contrarian is just going to start arguments.

[tropic kiln]

im asking you what is the information

about the artstyle not the gameplay

[jolly condor]

And i told you to go read the book man, I'm not your teacher

[vagrant kettle]

What is this information/opinion everyone is arguing about

[ocean herald]

I still don’t get why her death was handled offscreen in Infinite

[jolly condor]

If you dont care about information on the remake why am I even discussing artstyle with you, you dont even seem to care

[hasty zinc]

idk halotubers or something

[vagrant kettle]

[tropic kiln]

bro is saying that ce remake looks bad because vengeful vadam said so

[jolly condor]

You really are grating, you know that?

[tropic kiln]

im telling him thats his opinion but he says that it is a fact lol

[jolly condor]

Its is literally different. And the change is not for the better. It is less detail not more.

[odd anchor]

[jolly condor]

BUT YOU DONT KNOWWW THAT because you refuse to learn

[tropic kiln]

because it looks shiny?

[odd anchor]

What's happening

[twin pivot]

As this is descending, I'll quickly point out that just citing an authority with "go watch yourself" isn't really having a discussion, especially as its unclear what the authority is. Longtime Halo fan here, no idea who Vadam is or why demo experience is credentials.

[cedar turret]

#general-chat message

They listened to the fans and that is always a mistake

[vagrant kettle]

Everyone just calm down

[odd anchor]

Yeah

[twin pivot]

Yeah

[twin pivot]

There was also a lot of executive medling and project restarts, fans aren't the only dysfunctional element to this plot beat. Sometimes just need to commit on your deep lore and plow on vs. rebooting.

[calm fiber]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572921337782337566/1211114454142681118/noping.png?ex=65ed053b&is=65da903b&hm=127c1f5a619a9cb041d895fc8b72e2582f18b58934fcc2c232dda28837a796a2&

[odd anchor]

Yall I found a good plasma energy sword replica on Etsy and I want to show it but I can't send pictures:/

[cedar turret]

Right, but 343/Halo studios have always responded to the loudest complaints. The executive meddling and project interuptions are symptoms of the former.

[twin pivot]

Dang, still waiting for the day I'll have the disposable income for replicas like that

[steady jolt]

The studio are constantly looking across social spaces, surveys and focus groups for feedback. This isn't something they've just started for the remake.

Though it's important to note that feedback not being acted on doesn't mean it's being ignored. There are a lot of conflicting view points across Halo's wide array of communities. Navigating those and building priorities is not an easy task

[odd anchor]

Like, why is it soo expensive 😫

[twin pivot]

Bungie also followed the loudest fanbase, hence pivoting to multiplayer at the expense of the campaign sandbox (because LAN parties were such a vocal part of the online culture, though a minority of gaming experience)

[pliant hatch]

think we should be reminded that this is a demo which could change completely between now and release. take everything with a grain of salt.

[cedar turret]

seriously turn off the ping

[analog knot]

Doesnt this eventually become their own fault?

[silver arch]

There was a signed colored metal energy sword at a collectible shop in town. Signed by Steve Downes specifically

[odd anchor]

WHAT

OMG I needed that 😞 im jealous

[silver arch]

Yeah it was pretty rad

[twin pivot]

See. Halo 2 E3 metropolis vs. launch.

[jolly condor]

Okay, brother. Listen, you talk about opinion alot, you are only going off of opinion and refuse knowledge. You are making an argument where there doesnt need to be one. If you dont know what I'm talking about then instead of assuming I am wrong, go look. Its alot less annoying that dismissing what I say as opinion.

[cedar turret]

I mean, yes. But it's the pattern I've noticed. And it is exactly the opposite of 'they don't listen to the fans.' No, they listen to much. They try to give the fanbase what it thinks it wants and it is still at the 'faster horses' stage

[tropic kiln]

ok tell me why is halo ce remake artstyle bad

please dont say "go watch vengeful vadam vid!"

[jolly condor]

No. That would be an argument. Watch the video or do not. There is no "discussion" to be had when you dont know what I am talking about. No arguing, you heard the mods.

[vagrant kettle]

We’re just going in circles now

[tropic kiln]

this dude is a wall

[jolly condor]

ditto

[twin pivot]

If all you have to say is watch the video, then you may as well not reply in the first place. It's not your discussion to have and some random youtube video is not authoritative to "badness of art"

[analog knot]

I have always said I would respect their decisions more if they made them and stuck to them. Waffling back and forth isnt good for either side. We will see in the next decade where they take history I guess 😄

[misty marsh]

Debating your side of a disagreement does not equate to argument unless you're disrespectful abt it

[vagrant kettle]

Exactly

[twin pivot]

You may buy what someone is selling, but if that can't be condensed into "here's why I feel it doesn't work" (expressing a coherent viewpoint others can consider for how it relates to art) then there's not a lot of you in this conversation

[analog knot]

Im sorry if I didnt turn pings off, I try each time but dont remember if I did

[jolly condor]

No, I'm just annoyed that I'm going off of actual info, and hes just blindly defending halo studios while denying any info, its just annoying behavior.

[tropic kiln]

brother im asking you for the info

[jolly condor]

You'll just dismiss it as opinion. No.

[tropic kiln]

do you want me to beg 🥺

[twin pivot]

I honestly have no idea what you're referring to after reading the chat, and the question seems to be disagreement with what you take as binding info per personal experience. That's not transferrable to others. Some random person on the internet can absolutely disagree with this vid you keep citing. No one involved is a not a doctrinal authority, even OG bungie employees or Halo Studios folks now. (as art style is also highly circumstantial and the same folks making the game can absolutely do something different. See. Reach.)

[pliant hatch]

what was the original question

[tropic kiln]

ok tell me i will read it with my serious hat on

the question is: why is halo ce remake artstyle bad

[hasty zinc]

I think you've both run this conversation into the ground

[wraith valley]

yo.

[cedar turret]

I've found something worthwhile in all of their games, event though they aren't catered to me. I liked the emotional storytelling in 4, I liked Chief actually showing some character growth in 5 (he is not longer the Naive idiot he was in CE-3) and the multiplayer was the one I liked the best since 2, the emotional beats and follows up on loose plot threads in infinite were well done in spite of the multiplayer being a carbon copy of the mp I liked the least.

[jolly condor]

you already showed you just dismiss it as opinion

[misty marsh]

Personally if you're not going to actually provide information to give your side of the argument and you're only fighting point is telling people to watch someone else's video and to trust your word is objective based upon that, you should never have entered into debate in the first place lol

[cedar turret]

My biggest 'wish' would be to see the original outline/script for halo 5

[tropic kiln]

bro just tell me your info

[wraith valley]

i know new game ideas are not allowed but i feek the need to send this just to get it out of my head

[cedar turret]

Cause that game feels like it has day of the dead level cuts in it.

[wraith valley]

A Halo game with similar story to Halo reach but you are a spartan so you can continue fighting with ease but structured in the same way as Battlefield 1 campaign where the loss switches the character to another one meaning you can tell more of the Halo story without taking away from the experience and the story of the actual losses of humanity during the war, to can also allow for greater prequels and further lore accurate story telling without taking away from the gaming experience. (This also allows the introduction of new characters and more Spartans to use and dispose of when necessary.) Finally this can also allow for a great expansion and continuation of the Halo universe with stories that can intersect with the original trilogy and further flush out the story

this is a broad unspecified prompt that has no ip use or claim

[jolly condor]

his only fighting point is "I assume it is just opinion"

[ocean herald]

You can disagree with someone and just move on 🤣

[tropic kiln]

nah man 😂

[misty marsh]

Well most youtuber videos are going to be based off of that youtubers opinion yeah 😭 if you don't plan to elaborate on how it's objective versus subjective, the obvious assumption would be it's opinion based

[jolly condor]

Assumptions cause arguments, if we arent on the same page then dont talk about that page of the book y'know?

[hasty zinc]

let's move on

[pliant hatch]

do you have an opinion on why you think the art style is bad?

[plush pasture]

Hey chat

[tropic kiln]

i mean im asking for the facts

[steady jolt]

So anyways, here's my cat

[jolly condor]

because they removed style from the art, such as details on objects that told a story

[plush pasture]

Aw cute

[clear prism]

Halo 2 is peak I know I still got three and reach. But from ce to 2 the story and everything is so much better

[tropic kiln]

ok we got something, what could be those details

[steady jolt]

We're moving on from this please

[hasty zinc]

take it to DM's if you want to continue

[steady jolt]

Feel free to take it to DMs

[junior kestrel]

... why aren't we allowed to swear? When all the halos have their own swears.

In addition to... yk. Tbe trilogy having a lot of blood and guts

[ocean herald]

Even if it was “unpopular” at the time I would have liked for them to keep the mp additions from 4 in 5. 5’s movement was great imo, infinites is good as well but we lost out of the thruster pack

I say this just for the sake of consistency instead of the flip flopping you described earlier

Not having feature complete games at launch has also been a big misstep that I hope isn’t repeated with whatever’s coming down the pipe

[steady jolt]

Discord isn't a game, we have our own rules here and follow Microsoft and Xbox community guidelines

[vagrant kettle]

A server this size needs more moderation, and it’s just unnecessary imo

[junior kestrel]

Those guidelines don't exactly seem congruent with the content on sale.

[steady jolt]

nice cats

[cedar turret]

Two out of three play fetch. You'd be surprised which one doesn't.

[heavy steppe]

from what condition do those cats suffer? they look odd

[young sage]

I’m not keen on it either, it’d be different if people were calling each other swear words though

Oh well, silver lining is you can scream at the automod

[cedar turret]

One of the three also attempted to befriend a blind, growling and snarling great dane. And another tried to attack a grown man. Feel free to guess which is which

I think the second one was the chihuahua looking dog (idk dog breeds)

[odd anchor]

Poisonous potato

[junior kestrel]

I guess. But not really gonna fix anything. The auto mod kinda just takes out all the nuance.. and stuff.

How did you...

I almost brought in a stray today. Little long hair orange babby meowsickle

[misty marsh]

What stopped you?

[heavy steppe]

"I am the man! I am the man!"

[pliant hatch]

you're the man now, dog

[junior kestrel]

Got a question abt infinite. Why did 343 just make up a bunch of new weapons, pulled some from the lore and just throw em in and leave out fan favs. Or legacy weapons. Like the plasma rifle, carbine, spiker, brute shot, brute plasma rifle, magnum, combat shotgun.

Needle rifle.

[heavy steppe]

Have they not heard the term don't fix what isn't broken?

why did bungie add new guns? why fix what wasn't broken?

[heavy steppe]

but that dog beat me over the fence

a moment of silence for the poor swiss, serbs, finns and all others unrappresented by the server's role tags

actually norwegians, not finns

[junior kestrel]

How many did bungie totally replace in 3?

Reach's sandbox changes are a lot of miss steps if you ask me.

[misty marsh]

The tags are just continental. Nothing to do with being part of the EU or not

[candid solar]

One simple truth has shown through in all the years I've followed this stuff: Developers do not know how to react when their so-called fans are being some of the worst types of people imaginable in the most caustic environment possible in the most idiotic ways knowable.

There's a reason I save so many screenshots between here, Reddit, Twitter, Bluesky, and elsewhere about the absolutely deranged takes Halo fans of certain calibers have. Entirely disconnected people with no relationship beyond liking Halo independently having takes that amount to burning the studio down for the FPS equivelant of paint Sonic's arms blue for an iteration.

[odd anchor]

Tanks or wraith?

[heavy steppe]

ik, but just EU is kinda funny, 'cause NA makes sense. LA for Latin America also excludes Brazil and guyana, lmao.

[obsidian wyvern]

anyone who says wraiths is a bit silly

[candid solar]

I'm the silliest got-dang goober this side of Delta Halo.

[misty marsh]

I'm saying wraith out of spite

[obsidian wyvern]

who wouldve guessed

[heavy steppe]

wraiths have aura points, they're dope as hell. Gameplay wise though, I choose tanks (outside CE)

[junior kestrel]

Caustic. I like that. Good word. Not enough people use synonyms. I just see a poisoning overuse of the word toxic.

[obsidian wyvern]

apex legends wraith was kinda cool though

much like revenant

[heavy steppe]

boooooooring

[misty marsh]

Wraith in dbd is pretty chill

[obsidian wyvern]

i actually didnt realise his name was revenant till years later, i just found his trailer sick af

[candid solar]

I think it gets across the point a lot better than "Toxic". "Caustic" implies a much deeper source of rot, like something that causes sepsis at a glance.

[odd anchor]

What's happening

[pliant hatch]

cause that's the choice they decided on? most of those weapons were junk if they weren't dual wielded anyway.

[junior kestrel]

... I mean like.

The blue arms thing is about colour break up. Easier with modern tech but on older hardware, with crt screens? It muddies things too much.

[heavy steppe]

bro is acting like literature major

[candid solar]

That's likely going to end up being my minor at this point.

[candid solar]

There was a specific Sonic Fan who isn't the best subject to discuss outside of this who pepper sprayed a gamestop employee due to the changes they made to the Sonic Boom iteration of the character.

[junior kestrel]

I disagree. It's not the damage itself, it's how you use it. I can dominate a br user with an ar in halo 3 for instance. For ages I thought and was told it's just trash and a vestigial limb.

[junior kestrel]

I think I know of whom you speak.

Lol cow one right?

Terribly Infamous?

[pliant hatch]

lol. at what range and what was the skill level of the other person

[junior kestrel]

Dunno the skill of the other guy. It was at pretty close range though. I was kinda just letting off 5 round bursts or so.

[odd anchor]

Wort wort el pozole

[junior kestrel]

Little too far for a shotty to be effective

[heavy steppe]

aaaaaawobudugh

[candid solar]

Natch.

Anyways, my point is that it's to a level of deeply unhinged and actively corrosive mentality that makes a stunning amount of people seethe and rage at what is, effectively, time passing and processes engaging in evolution. Real "Charging at windmills in a frothing rage" type thing. And a not-insignificant amount of those people are also rage tourists, who just want to find a fight and start shouting at it.

[chrome estuary]

[heavy steppe]

YOU CHANGED YOUR PFP, I SAW IT!

[candid solar]

When I was more active in moderation for fan forums on other sites it was not uncommon to see that the most caustic accounts that immediately started slinging slurs and vitriol at 343 were accounts that had literally never talked about Halo on their profile whatsoever until the point they went to start screaming.

[junior kestrel]

Another matter. While it is true. A lot of the discourse can be far to inflammatory, we can't just ignore the critiques of the well mannered but frustrated fans. And I mean well mannored. These people have been exhausted.

I have been exhausted of all of... this.

[chrome estuary]

[junior kestrel]

Natch?

[candid solar]

Naturally. Basically just saying yes, that.

[heavy steppe]

halo 3 rat vs master chief

[junior kestrel]

Rage tourists?

[odd anchor]

My bf's car is sitting on my lap and she's purring but I need to go pee but I don't want to bother her 😫

[junior kestrel]

Ah.

[candid solar]

People who show up to watch and/or start fights.

[heavy steppe]

[candid solar]

Typically know absolutely nothing about the actual thing they're fighting over aside from which side they want to yell at more.

[junior kestrel]

Hydrogen operator vs coughing baby.

[odd anchor]

[heavy steppe]

google en G13 cat meme

[pliant hatch]

then I'll have to dismiss this as a one time thing, but damage is important or else you wouldn't have to alter play style or be in certain situations for it to be effective. anyway, like I said it's just a design decision on their part.

[odd anchor]

Oh, Lmao

[candid solar]

Like how Warhammer 40K will have those odd fans who pop in screaming about how much they hate LGBT+ representation in Warhammer 40K or something ridiculous and don't know that there is at least one figure representing every letter of the LGBT+ spectrum.

Rage tourists. They just want to yell at trans people, or how a gun is weird, or how someone killed the franchise by acknowledging something they happen to dislike.

[junior kestrel]

Well I'm personally not a fan of it because a lot of it feels incongruent with much of the standing lore.

I think it has it's place. Just not within every aspect of everything.

Like how straight stuff would be misplaced in other things.

[candid solar]

That's not how that works, is the thing.

[odd anchor]

I hate being allergic to cats

[candid solar]

Like, it's seeped into every element of everything, because that's just how life is.

[junior kestrel]

°.°

[odd anchor]

My eyes itching 😩

[junior kestrel]

And I'm saying it's not befiting all aspects of a setting like 40k.

[candid solar]

... It's absolutely fitting, what are you talking about?

[heavy steppe]

g13

[junior kestrel]

Should have clarified*

[trim saddle]

Is that a new version of the song G6?

[junior kestrel]

G11 anyone?

[candid solar]

The Admech is literally about transcending the weakness of your mortal flesh. It's an entire faction of humans who surgically and medically augment themselves to fit their ideal body plan and form.

It's why transgender and nonbinary people love the faction.

I mean I have plenty of examples, that's just the foremost one.

[junior kestrel]

I fail to see how transumanism is a good comparison. You're becoming more or less human, or even surpasing humanity fundementally.

It's kinda a slippery slope sometimes.

I'm not really interested in discussing the transgender matters personally. It's not my race to run.

I'm more focused on stuff like space marines and custodes.

[candid solar]

I mean, there's lots to talk about on the subject in SMs and Custodes as well.

[young sage]

What in the world do you mean?

[junior kestrel]

It's complicated and I don't think this is the place for the topic anyways.

[candid solar]

It's not really complicated. It's not like straight people don't exist in the life of gay people any more than gay people don't exist in straight people's lives.

Media's the same way. Media even at its most avant garde is still a reflection of life.

[cosmic shale]

and thats enough halo general chat for today 🚶‍♂️

[junior kestrel]

I'm saying I don't have my thoughts together on the subject to discuss it.

Not in a way that satisifies me.

[candid solar]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[junior kestrel]

So. Lets move back to talking abt halo stuff.

[heavy steppe]

halsey should kidnap more kids

[junior kestrel]

I have a long list of issues with the new halo. I'm not particularly excited. Andnthe devs haven't filled me with confidence.

[steady jolt]

[junior kestrel]

I'm sure she tried.

[heavy steppe]

car

g13

[junior kestrel]

Range of matters.

Like sprint.

I'm just gonna say it. I think bungie messed up by adding sprint. And that it damaged halo for the worse. I think 343 did more damage by making it innate and have kept on damaging halo by sticking to their guns and keeping it wround despite the fact that it's a square peg, halo being a round hole.

[junior kestrel]

No fighting oki? Sprint has just been such a heated debate. A 15 year old one. It's been debated even back in the old bungie forums to much poison. That it's best we just... yk. Try making a halo without sprint.

They said that infinite was the last that used their old recipe. Doesn't look like they changed it much. Just took out te ingredients people liked. Like equipment.

Equipment is a more fun and engaging sandbox tool. Ignoring flares.

[ocean herald]

Infinite has equipment tho?

[junior kestrel]

3 has better equpment.

Mostly.

Ignoring flare.

[heavy steppe]

ah yes, the radar jammer

[ocean herald]

No no, you said they took “it” out. So you meant they took out the specific equipment from 3 you liked

[pliant hatch]

bubble shield was just armor lock lite

[junior kestrel]

I'll be fair in saying that infinite had some improvements to the system.

[junior kestrel]

Not really. The deployable cover is closer to that. Except that was destructible.

[heavy steppe]

yeah, but at least you couldn't stop a boosting wraith dead in its tracks

[junior kestrel]

And even the bubble shield you could take over by playing well.

How many bubble shields did you take over in 3s campaign?

[haughty fractal]

Armor lock, my beloved meme.
Anyways back to work

[junior kestrel]

I and many agree it deserves to stay dead tbh

[pliant hatch]

I'm talking about mp. all it did was extend gun fights and make this dumb cat and mouse.

[junior kestrel]

I do like bubbleshield being both shield and regen field tbh

[junior kestrel]

Nah that's what made it fun. It actually encouraged map control. Power positions

Stuff like that.

Armour lock just halted combat totally.

Mines were also a great tool for area denial.

[ocean herald]

Yeah it got kind of ridiculous. In retrospect there should have been a way to counter it in real time

[pliant hatch]

i'm gonna run in and melee, no, i'm gonna run in and melee. no neither of us are gonna run in and melee. ugh

[obsidian wyvern]

better in what way

[pliant hatch]

I don't think sprint is terrible in infinite compared to the previous games.

[obsidian wyvern]

3s multiplayer equipment is kinda ridiculous insta win equipment

[ocean herald]

4s hardlight shield I found less annoying

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't really play 4 multiplayer but I always liked the hardlight shield in concept

[junior kestrel]

Deployable cover is also arguably worse cause ballistics weapons can shoot through the protected side.

[obsidian wyvern]

I'd take it over the cover

[ocean herald]

Sprint debate is pointless. Idk why anyone thinks removing sprint would “bring back halo” in 2025

[junior kestrel]

I disagree.

[pliant hatch]

I hated that you couldn't shoot the exposed feet of the hard light user.

[obsidian wyvern]

insane regen and make enemies one tap and nothing can hit me now + that flare lol

[junior kestrel]

Like I said. Once deployed the gear is neutral. Anyone can take it over and exploit it if they're good enough.

[obsidian wyvern]

saying they're within range

[junior kestrel]

You can also force enemies into a boxed/bad position through suppressive fire.

[pliant hatch]

ohh, and then you're about to kill someone. nope, here's my bubble that I've been carrying. so annoying

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

bubble I didn't mind as much, regen was overpowered

at least with bubble they couldn't fight back, regen is so one sided at mid-long range

[junior kestrel]

Reach is worse abt it since it's bubble has regen. 4 also has regen field.

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean yeah it's an equipment they should be getting the advantage, but it was a bit ridiculous

[pliant hatch]

ironically, having sprint isn't going to save it either

[obsidian wyvern]

I guess, but weren't you able to damage the bubble

[junior kestrel]

No I think you have a point with the regen field.

[junior kestrel]

Only positive tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

they just needed to put down how much you regained from it, infinite has it too but it's a lot more balanced

[heavy steppe]

ok, but are you seriously going to waste ammo on the bubble especially for how tough it is? Like if you have a chaingun on either a warthog or on the ground, then yes

[junior kestrel]

I think we'd benefit from some sort of fusion of infinite and 3's equipment. Some of infinite's is either op movement tech or totally inadequate and borderline useless

[junior kestrel]

Only reach's bubble could be destroyed from the outside.

[obsidian wyvern]

I can't remember how strong the bubble was

[junior kestrel]

One tank shell

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't like reach's multiplayer much

[heavy steppe]

I remember it being rather strong

[heavy steppe]

so yeah, pretty strong

[pliant hatch]

I think it was only in certain gametypes like invasion

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah you couldn't use it in most modes iirc

def wasn't in regular 4v4

[junior kestrel]

Shroud screen is interesting but doesn't really get any favor. Threat sensor and seeker are redundant.

Infinite's drop wall is... crap.

[obsidian wyvern]

I've never really seen shroud used super well

seeker was supposed to be the ranked sensor just because it required a little more skill lmao

and yeah drop wall sucks

[pliant hatch]

usually gets deployed when you're one shot from what I've seen.

[heavy steppe]

I always try and use it directly on the enemy if there's a sniper, I find the thing pretty funny: suddenly the just stares at a completly blue wall

[junior kestrel]

Reach's camo is just... just the worst

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I've never used it to cover myself, always to cover the enemy

[odd anchor]

Dr pepper is soo good

[obsidian wyvern]

or like Luke said, when you're 1 tap it's kinda just an emergency equipment

[ocean herald]

Can it be “stuck” to vehicles? I don’t remember

[junior kestrel]

Kinda just how smokes are used irl. Or to mark friendly positions

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/kurisu-makise-kurisu-christina-assistant-steins-gate-gif-10614139948196234699

[pliant hatch]

I only play ff so the threat sensors and shroud are useless lol.

[obsidian wyvern]

I can't remember, I think it would stick but the shroud would actually stay in the initial location

[trim saddle]

ill test if the shroud sticks to vehicles next time i hop on infinite lol

[ocean herald]

That’s what I’m remember but honestly used it so little because it wasn’t practical to me lol

[heavy steppe]

Nope, tried sticking it to a falcon with the granadier on it. Didn't go well

[safe dawn]

no

[junior kestrel]

I will say. On infinite. I like that the heatwave, hydra and new shotgun have alt fire modes.

I think we need more stuff like that.

[safe dawn]

shroud screen never stuck to moving objects unfortunately

woulda been funny tho

[junior kestrel]

Like say... assault rifle with gl.

[safe dawn]

just a blue bubble flynig around the map

[heavy steppe]

"Please, everyone, lend me your energy!"

[hearty flame]

Its about as good as saran wrap

[junior kestrel]

Seriously. Picture it. Gl ar being a power weapon.

[hearty flame]

"Dropping a saran wrap wall!"

[junior kestrel]

What kinda plays it could encourage

[pliant hatch]

reach's jepack was the worst though. literally broke every map.

[junior kestrel]

Yep

[ocean herald]

I was gonna say it’d be pretty funny if you could stick it on teammates lol

[junior kestrel]

Grav lift is similar but was a map control item and can be exploited by the enemy.

[ocean herald]

You could have a custom game where it’s just blue bubbles fighting each other

[heavy steppe]

The ominous blue orb approaching you at terminal velocity:

[junior kestrel]

Anyone seen that 30 mm from FN?

Could be a grovy little attachment to the ar for campaign and multiplayer. Just saying.

Imagine dogging some guys by dumping in like 6 30mm grenades.

Or we could have the brute shot back. Remember the brute shot anyone? 343/hs doesn't

[coral yoke]

i think i'd know what you're talking about if you didn't call it a "30mm"

[naive turret]

that thing Bungie replaced with the Concussion Rifle and 343 brought back in H2:A's MP? Yeah maybe

[coral yoke]

i'm not that knowledgeable on guns lmao

[junior kestrel]

It's a 30 mm mag fed gl.

[junior kestrel]

And never again?

Not even in infinite where it'd fit the most?

[coral yoke]

do you know what the game calls it at least?

[merry hemlock]

Hey guys. Which halo is better. Halo Reach or Halo 3 on the 360?

[naive turret]

🤷‍♂️ I'd rather it got in over the shock weapons tbh

[junior kestrel]

It's not in halo. Just look up the fn 30 mm and you'll get the idea. Then put it as an underbarrel option for an MA5 variant.

[coral yoke]

i know it's not in halo i mean what does fortnite call it?

[junior kestrel]

3. Easy.

Better sandbox, more extensive weapons, equipment breaks the maps less.

[junior kestrel]

Than it's not in fortnite.

The only FN thing that is in fortnite is the scar.

[coral yoke]

the hell does fn mean in this case then?

[junior kestrel]

They're a brand. Manufacturer.

They made the scar. Fal, and loads of other stuff.

[coral yoke]

mmh

[junior kestrel]

They made the f2000. Which I believed swrved as inspiration for the halo ar.

FN herstal

[vagrant kettle]

Fabrique Nationale, an arms company from Belgium

[junior kestrel]

Thankyou.

They made the p90, f2000, fal, scar and a lot of other weapons systems for the military. America and otherwise.

[spark siren]

F2000 mw2

[ornate gazelle]

I'm playing through the first game....

I think Gearbox wanted us to suffer man

[trim saddle]

175 games until onyx oh boy

[grim pagoda]

If you could keep 1 Halo game for PvE which one would it be?

[sturdy wharf]

MCC

[grim pagoda]

That’s a bundle 🙂

[trim saddle]

Infinite, forge means endless possibilities for maps and gametypes for PvE

just wish they had more enemies.

[sturdy wharf]

I know, that's why I chose it

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 3 and it's not even close

[trim saddle]

infinite could emulate what H3 had for PvE
