Eww stinky

[sudden hound]

¿Do Elite get backaches for speaking to humans and other smaller species?

[odd anchor]

It create a neckhump

[sudden hound]

I sure do get backaches from time to time when talking with anyone below 6 feet

[waxen rose]

Do tall people get back aches when they have to look down at short people?

[odd anchor]

You are NOT over 6 feet

False

[waxen rose]

Right like😭
The question answers itself

[odd anchor]

Bums

[waxen rose]

Their entire neck is a weird bump💔
Where is it going

[odd anchor]

I added cat ears on my oc's helmet :3

[odd anchor]

😭😭😭😭😭 stop being logical

✋🏼

[obsidian wyvern]

windows?

[waxen rose]

Peak I fear

[odd anchor]

Really is!

[waxen rose]

Halo studios respond to my email I sent asking for different types of cat ears NOW

[jagged sluice]

I love Star Wars lore

[signal wedge]

Star Wars is worse

[waxen rose]

“Please watch my 80 hours worth of movies and cartoons to understand the latest installment”

[signal wedge]

The canon got so diluted over time

[odd anchor]

WHAT DID YHEY SAY?!

[obsidian wyvern]

u can watch andor without watching anything else

[odd anchor]

Can I see?!?! That's actually soo cool

[jagged sluice]

They didn’t respond

[obsidian wyvern]

and its peak

[waxen rose]

They didnt respond 💔

[rare cedar]

Andor got my fiancé hooked on SW

[odd anchor]

I'm dumb

😭 oh my gosh I can't read

I don't have reading comprehension i swear it's my dyslexia don't @ me

[jagged sluice]

Fr

[obsidian wyvern]

? oh

[jagged sluice]

Autocorrect

[waxen rose]

Wasn't referencing andor but I’m gonna watch it anyway once I finish arby ‘n’ chief and arcane

[obsidian wyvern]

no im saying go watch andor lol

[odd anchor]

Arby's chicken sandwich

[waxen rose]

Is it bad💔

[obsidian wyvern]

no its the best star wars content out there imo

which is weird because its not really got anything that made star wars popular

[odd anchor]

I really really love your banner of spicy triangles (grunts)

[rare cedar]

Rev and I display a lot of sarcasm, but we’re serious about it being amazing

[scarlet siren]

after replaying halo ce and being able to switch between the remaster, im not sure why they dient remaster halo 3 and 4 instead

[obsidian wyvern]

[candid solar]

Huh, that's wierd. Who's that white-armor wearing Spartan next to Fireteam Osiris? And where is the legendary green Shinobi-wearing member of Osiris, Glorbo?

[waxen rose]

Got tired of the same old thing ig

[signal wedge]

Andor was really good by it could have been better

[rare cedar]

[odd anchor]

Its me

[signal wedge]

HBO Star Wars when?

[waxen rose]

NO FRED BLORBO IM CRINE

[hasty zinc]

I still need to finish Andor

[scarlet siren]

theres a new darth maul sw series coming out soon

[signal wedge]

RIP HBO. Netflix slop on the way soon

[candid solar]

I'm split between ending my joke early and not because I'm actually quite glad they remembered Tanaka.

[waxen rose]

They remember freaking vale and not… omg im gonna die in this house

[odd anchor]

Uhm soo did anyone watched the halo series?...

[signal wedge]

Must be Tony Stark

[scarlet siren]

no because its not really a good representation of the main character of the games

[signal wedge]

I think if they offscreen kill Tanaka nobody will notice

[scarlet siren]

Master cheese

[hasty zinc]

it's not supposed to be

[scarlet siren]

then its pointless

[hasty zinc]

why

[scarlet siren]

thats why it failed, which is good

[odd anchor]

Oh well

[vagrant kettle]

Yes
I enjoyed it

[hasty zinc]

same, I liked it

[waxen rose]

The show and rvb got me into halo like 4 years ago
I dont like the show but I can acknowledge that it did give me a foot in the door into my latest hyperfixation

[hasty zinc]

it got my dad interested in Halo, something I've been trying to do for over 20 years

[scarlet siren]

they should have made a halo series not really about the master cheese but some other character

[odd anchor]

Master cheese

[faint mantle]

Marvin Mobuto episode in season 3 when

[odd anchor]

Interesting

[waxen rose]

My dad liked halo but never told me about it so sadly I never got that bonding experience ugh stupid chud dad gatekeeping halo from me for more than 3 seconds

[odd anchor]

The day after yesterday

[signal wedge]

The Halo show made me not support a Paramount takeover of WB

[hasty zinc]

alright

[scarlet siren]

its just a very poor adaptation could have easily been good for the games aswell if done right

[signal wedge]

Strange new worlds was alright I guess. Then Halo happened

[waxen rose]

Can't hate paramount too much bc it has transformers PEAK on there

[signal wedge]

RIP Transformers One

[candid solar]

There's other reasons to hate the everloving crap out of Paramount that have nothing to do with Halo.

[scarlet siren]

the micheal bay transformers movies ended on a cliffhanger lmao

[candid solar]

It's a huge shame that Star Trek and Transformers are stuck on Paramount's services, on that note.

[waxen rose]

Dont mention his name around me

[signal wedge]

Yeah I’m guessing it has something to do with the owner

[sudden hound]

Since Halo CE Remake and the subsequent Halo 2 & Halo 3 remakes won't have multiplayer (as we know)

All leads to another free to play game apart from the main titles

[odd anchor]

Did someone mentioned transformers?

[candid solar]

You know my reason for hating things so well.

[scarlet siren]

i wanna see unicron or whatever hes called

[odd anchor]

Ayoooooo I love transformers! They're soo cool

Bumblebee is my fav:3

[sudden hound]

Michael Bay wanted to stop after DOTM (2011)

[scarlet siren]

i dont care what he wants i wanna see big robot

[waxen rose]

I am not looking forward to galvitron coming to life because of unicron in a live-action setting. Rehashing what the very very very first ever transformers movie did. Its wasteful.

Michael Bay's Transformers movies were literally a Giant commercial for:

United States Army, Sports cars, great music (Linkin Park), Awesome peak CGI & sell transforming toys

[signal wedge]

The write for that move is now doing Batman movie for Gunn btw

[scarlet siren]

[odd anchor]

[zinc bear]

Linkin park best band ever wow I love them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

That’s why it’s literally the peak

Oh it literally was a 2 hour long GM commercial

Michael Bay do all that rendering in 2007

Lincolns park “divide” was made directly in mind about optimus prime and Megatron drifting relationship btw

[zinc bear]

linkin and new divide but yes king

[sudden hound]

People often say they lacked good storytelling and the script was madness, but for the time they released, they were good

Age of Extinction stood it's ground and still had great grossing when Marvel was already settled

[waxen rose]

H3 is buns but was good at the time
Story as old as time.

I miss Shia and Megan, once they moved away from Sam I kinda lost interest

I did enjoy the bumblebee movie though

[zinc bear]

dafreakmasterrealchief

[sudden hound]

Shia is coming back

[rare cedar]

Crazy the animation back then for the transformation between the vehicle to their robot was top tier. It hasn’t been matched since then imo

[candid solar]

Why am I pung

[scarlet siren]

they should make more transformers games tho, there were some crazy good ones

there not doing alot with the brand rn

[zinc bear]

theres alot

[ocean herald]

The cybertron games were goated

[scarlet siren]

new ones?

[signal wedge]

I remember playing that one one bumblebee simulator game

[sudden hound]

Hot topic: Hasbro should strike a deal with Microsoft/Xbox to remake/remaster the Cybertron games for new gen consoles

Transformers The Game was also kinda fun, but it was a bit jank thinking back

[odd anchor]

The glasses 💀

[candid solar]

Okay?

[waxen rose]

Im just a silly boy

[signal wedge]

Now transformers will have to be BYDs and Teslas 🥀

[scarlet siren]

theres actually a game, on the 3ds that had you scan vehicles so you could transform into them, i think that was like peak even tho the rest od the game was shallow

[sudden hound]

It was wild when I learned that the Hoover damn level was scrapped from both campaigns

We would've been able to play/fight as bonecrusher and brawl

[ocean herald]

I didn’t even know that

[waxen rose]

Hey thats me

[sudden hound]

Transformers 3Ds Autobot/Decepticon campaign

[scarlet siren]

but tbh i rather have a new ac than a new transformers game rn

[low swan]

hellooo halo community, happy 25 years of halo!

[scarlet siren]

yes 🙌

[sudden hound]

Ratchet, while not being playable, would be around the map to heal you during boss fights

[waxen rose]

Ratchet my beloved im sorry they did this to you

It’s been too long, I need to find my ps3 copy (if I still have it)

There was 1 mission with ratchet, right?

Nope, Ratchet became playable in ROTF

I need more Halo stickers 😫

[waxen rose]

Secret

[hollow vine]

Hmm. Halo is 25 now

[sudden hound]

Yesterday I had a crazy idea:

343 Guilty Spark (or just a Monitor) as Shockwave

[hollow vine]

Uhhg what ?!

[waxen rose]

As a shockwave lover
Never cook again

[hollow vine]

Indeed

[vocal matrix]

💀

[sudden hound]

But is logical

[sudden hound]

One-eyed robots are known to be treacherous

[hollow vine]

Never cook again

[vocal matrix]

Do i have gif perms here?

[hollow vine]

No

[vocal matrix]

Rah😩

[sudden hound]

Guilty Spark, Hal-3000, Glados, Shockwave

Even Weathley

[jagged sluice]

Imagine if they make Esparza a spartan in halo 7

[hollow vine]

No is no that's cursed

[waxen rose]

The only correlation is that… they have one eye? They're all drastically not alike its funny

[hollow vine]

They head shaped are different

[waxen rose]

They won't dawg. He aint built for these rings

[hollow vine]

Of course it will not work

[waxen rose]

I was talking about personality and story relevance but sure

[hollow vine]

Like imagine glados head on shockwave body

I could see something quite cursed

[jagged sluice]

If Palmer could become commander of all Spartans on the infinity he could be a spartan

[sudden hound]

I can make it happen

[jagged sluice]

But yeah Ik they won’t

[waxen rose]

fernando esparza aint NEVER gonna become a spartan dawg

[hollow vine]

Imagine in halo 7 you will play as chips dubbo instead of chief

[mellow socket]

He aint for the streets 💔

[hollow vine]

Ifunny !?

[hollow vine]

I wish he was purple
I like purple grunts

[waxen rose]

Splash some food dye on him

[jagged sluice]

Banished Spartans as an enemy type in halo 7

[hollow vine]

I think the reason why the flood can't infect the grunt is probably because of the giant ahh methane tank behind them

[waxen rose]

The flood can't infect grunts because grunts stink

[hollow vine]

Or because they are built different

[sudden hound]

Either that or no one has really tried to make Flood combat form using grunts

[hollow vine]

Also how can the flood infect Abunch of worms 🤔🤔🤔

[hollow vine]

Except halo wars

[sudden hound]

Flood can't infect Lekgolo

[hollow vine]

Hmmm??

[vagrant kettle]

Grunts do get infected, they just don’t show it in games because they get assimilated into carrier forms.

[sudden hound]

They're both parasites in their own right, Lekgolo mostly being part of a rival hive mind

[hollow vine]

There some normal flood grunt in halo wars though

[waxen rose]

Please join my…grave mind

[sudden hound]

The Flood only uses the Lekgolo as biomass because they can't enter the Lekgolo collective hive mind

[hollow vine]

Flood infect everything tbh even machines and stuff

[naive turret]

I think that's the Aparoids

ugh i love prostheses
i have the itch to give my sniper OC a robot leg since nikolai has a robot arm

[zinc bear]

#real

[floral pollen]

We barely even have Lego dude 🥀

[waxen rose]

I got a warning from my boss for talking to a customer for 7 minutes and y'all talking about being awkward

It's a pretty small store
So dealing with shipping from some ppl is a time

[waxen rose]

He's been mute ever since the accident🥀🖤🐺⛓️❤️‍🩹

Oh give him a crazy wicked awesome burn scar omg omg

[zinc bear]

i just came up with the idea that the reason why he has 2 robotic legs is because he got into a recon position and laid on a landmine and it blew up which took his legs
goofy but idc

i just think they look cool

[waxen rose]

Holy unlucky bro

[zinc bear]

(birth was the accident)

[waxen rose]

LMAO

[floral pollen]

How did he not step on the landmine before laying down bro 🥀

[zinc bear]

repositioning while laying down
knee pressed on the landmine

[waxen rose]

He's soooo sleepy so so soooo sleepy cut him some slack

[zinc bear]

im coming up with this as we talk btw
its honestly kinda buns

[floral pollen]

I should make more OC lore again sometime

[zinc bear]

i just love how protheses look on spartans

nikolais reason for a prosthetic arm is because he ate his og arm

[waxen rose]

try not to project onto your halo ocs challenge impossible

[waxen rose]

WHAT

[floral pollen]

Ngl I'm like the exact opposite
At least in Infinite, I've always really hated the prosthesis parts

[waxen rose]

I didnt know Niki was crazy like that

[signal wedge]

Yeah they don’t look good

[zinc bear]

yeah remember
going schizo on that abandoned ship and having almost no food for 2 months

[signal wedge]

There needs to be Mjolnir over it

[waxen rose]

Bro prayed on his lucky star and it finally worked (Benji incoming)

[floral pollen]

That's kinda my thing with them is like
I feel like 500 years into the future we have the technology to make prosthetics look like the actual body part

[waxen rose]

Right you’d think it would have plastic flesh color matched and everything

[floral pollen]

Plus there's a Mark VII glove iirc that mentions its like a prosthesis glove
And yet you can't have gloves with prosthesis

[zinc bear]

i took away his robot legs nvm
they look better off tbh

[odd anchor]

Bums

[waxen rose]

“We gotta make it skinny so people can tell they're missing a limb”

[floral pollen]

Ah yes
Make the weak point obvious

[waxen rose]

What keeps anyone from breaking it off and hitting the spartan with their own arm

[floral pollen]

Real

[grand halo]

Spitting facts rn

[waxen rose]

Maybe if it looked like a regular limb it wouldn't look so stigmatizing idk man just a hunch

[odd anchor]

I just finished eating and now my stomach hurts

[floral pollen]

Like
The hand prosthesis I don't mind sometimes
But I dislike the full arm
Also bc it makes like every attachment float

[odd anchor]

I'm tired I need sleep

But i lowkey don't wanna sleep

Idk im weird

[waxen rose]

It looks like someone got lazy and just tore the arm off a robot spartan and attached it onto an actual person and called it a day :/

[floral pollen]

Honestly felt

[odd anchor]

I'm always scrolling on Pinterest or either on twitter 🙃 I have no life

[floral pollen]

Ngl
I think there's like twice I've used prosthesis
And both were for Titanfall builds

[waxen rose]

Because titanfall is peak

[floral pollen]

Maybe 3 times
Still Titanfall tho

[zinc bear]

i cant do it in game but in my head benji built nikos arm custom
engraved 010 on it and make it flashy with stickers
and niko hates/loves it

[floral pollen]

Ngl, I never really got into it 🥀
I completed the Campaign then haven't really touched the game since

[waxen rose]

Not true. Never been said anywhere, but he's definitely "straight" when it comes to his sexuality based off what we've seen him do in Halo lore.

but their Spartan-II augmentations included thyroid implants that released human growth hormone catalyst, which significantly suppressed their s-drive, making reproduction rare, though not impossible, as seen with Maria-062 and Randall-037, who both had children. The goal was to create super soldiers by boosting physical attributes, but a known side effect was a greatly diminished s*exual interest, not outright sterility, though some Spartans felt they were unable to have families.

This is more or less what google said since the bots tryina bleep me here

Also Ace is a spectrum my friend. There are many types.

[jade gust]

Right but you don't chemically make someone ace

[deep night]

Can't create humans with like liquad

[patent bough]

Yea being ace is a choice man.

Show me tiny Cheif, and I don't mean the grunt.

Closest he has to an offspring is Joyouse

I think that's what they named the weapon

Also being ace dosent mean you can't reproduce. It means your not driven by those desires like many others are. You may need to do some research I'd guess.

[jade gust]

I never said being ace doesn't prevent you from reproducing

[patent bough]

I didn't say you did. Just stating you altogether might need to do research like I am.

[jade gust]

I was pointing out you stating that they were chemically made to be ace is not how being asexual works

And I have done my research

[patent bough]

They where altered. But they can still chose to not be Ace. Like Randell and Maria.

[rare cedar]

What on SGT Johnson’s green earth are we talking about

[patent bough]

Master Chief possibly being Ace.

[meager linden]

Idk

[rare cedar]

I feel this needs to be taken to the DMs

Not here

[jade gust]

I was just gonna walk away because I do not have the energy to explain this to them

[patent bough]

I didn't start this. Just showed up and was glad to be represented until people started getting upset that they have alot of representation, and us Aces don't have much.

Either way it's fiction. You had your ideas. I have mine. We can all have our own.

"Him"

After 25 years Call of Halo is just getting worse. I bet the flood was less of an infection than this can be.

This is why they can take advantage of us. Cause the fanbase isn't altogether the most intelligent.

[patent bough]

I'd rather do this where everyone can see and add input.

[deep night]

Agreed

[patent bough]

Well yea but I'm not gonna suppress myself just to ease your mind. Not like you'd do that for me.

Iv done that my whole life. I made a choice awhile back to be myself instead. I'm glad to have some representation as an Ace. You have all other forms of media.

[wise pecan]

Anyone want to play?

[kind hedge]

Campaign?

[wise pecan]

A few matches

[kind hedge]

I'm cool with that

[wise pecan]

Okay

[kind hedge]

You play on Xbox or PC ?

[wise pecan]

Pc

[kind hedge]

Same

Add me on steam then

[patent bough]

Id be down if you'd have me. Upto you, but my DMRs locked and loaded and I'm standing by.

[covert glacier]

In my massage chair rn

[thorny glen]

The s-drive was only suppressed, not significantly suppressed or massively eliminated.
Reproduction isn't rare at all, that's not how reproduction works in the 1st place either.
Interest was not diminished either, nor were they ever sterile. Where are you making any of this up?

[wise pecan]

Bet dm if you want to

[thorny glen]

None of this happened. You're actually just making this up.

[covert glacier]

Why so hurt over someone not knowing lol

[patent bough]

Ill send you a link in DMs if you want proof.

[vapid hare]

I think he's a lil desperate to prove himself right ngl

[thorny glen]

I don't need it because I already have the proof myself, both in wiki form and in book form.

[patent bough]

Don't think it'll let me post here. No I'm glad to be represented, and you guys are so upset about it.

[covert glacier]

I needa buy the books I remember getting a library card because I saw some and then I went back and they were taken off the shelves lol

[vapid hare]

I'm suprised halo players can actually read

[patent bough]

Is all other forms of media not enough for you?

[covert glacier]

I just look at pages and assume what's going on obviously

[patent bough]

Iv read at a 12th grade level since I was 5

[thorny glen]

Idk why you keep bringing up "glad to be represented", I'm just telling you everything you're saying right now is purely made up & didn't actually happen.

[thorny glen]

Buy them through Amazon kindle, you just need to install the Kindle app to access them, login with your Amazon account, and then get to reading. Accessible on phones & pc's.

[patent bough]

I looked it up on Google dude. They have all the information and can process it faster than our feeble human minds

[covert glacier]

Ah sweet I didnt even know that thanks

[thorny glen]

If you were to buy every single book today you'd be spending around $450 - $550 afaik.

how do I know?
I did it myself.

[covert glacier]

Ive been on a halo collecting spree recently, but its basically impossible in new zealand

[vapid hare]

My whole pc setup is only $400😔

[thorny glen]

got no idea if they even have halo books in your native language lol

i assume not

[covert glacier]

Ive played most of the games all the way through and got all achievements on the 360 but damn its hard to find anything merch or book related

[covert glacier]

English is the only language I speak

[patent bough]

I named my son after Ghosts of Onyx. One of the best books.

[thorny glen]

oh I assumed it was Maori

[covert glacier]

dw im a white dude

[covert glacier]

I worded this wrong

[patent bough]

Buncha nurotypicals lmao

[thorny glen]

mine is around $1,000, although with RAM prices it may as well be $2,000+ now 😂

[kind hedge]

What PC do you have ? (curious is all)

[patent bough]

Next you'll talk about how much your car parts cost

[covert glacier]

Mines around 2k in my currency atm maybe less

[thorny glen]

BTW you might need to use the USA version of Amazon to buy the books through Kindle, I've got no idea if they're accessible otherwise.
Once you have them bought tho, should work as normal.

[covert glacier]

Should be fine i can just use a VPN if I cant

[thorny glen]

make sure you're buying the kindle versions, they're fully digital so

[patent bough]

Yep your a typical Jerome. Glad the one I know isn't like you.

[vapid hare]

Damn what's he like

[patent bough]

Nice.

[covert glacier]

Jeez man what crawled inside you

[patent bough]

No I just have only met a single Jerome-092 that iv liked.

[thorny glen]

The 1st 4 books are around $56 total btw.
Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Ghost of Onyx
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V2XTVTR

Try to buy them through the "series" links

[covert glacier]

Sweet yeah I just checked around the price you mentioned ill have to buy it in a couple weeks. The only book I semi read was the fall of reach

[thorny glen]

https://www.amazon.com/Halo-Standalones/dp/B09V2WX9SG
Contact Harvest
Broken Circle
Hunters in the Dark
Legacy of Onyx
Rubicon Protocol
Outcast
$84 usd

[covert glacier]

Oh god

[thorny glen]

Like I said, if you try to buy all the books digitally, it's around $450 - $550 🧩

[covert glacier]

Ill definitely buy the first pack you sent me, but maybe I can find other ways to read those 😅

[thorny glen]

Gets expensive fast lol

But yea it's a TON of reading

[covert glacier]

Fine with me, I like reading i use to collect comics

[vapid hare]

I got 2 sticks of viper rgb ram how much would that cost in today's economy

[covert granite]

December.

[thorny glen]

It's confirmed to be December 11th, 12th, and 13th 2026.

YOOOOO

I truly have no budget limit with this: will buy every single item.

[hasty zinc]

it looks like the part after you tie the yarn

[normal owl]

I have truly never been anywhere near as excited for a FN collab as this.

I guess it means that The Office is my favorite IP over Star Wars, Mass Effect, and Assassin's Creed.

[hasty zinc]

and Halo???

[normal owl]

Yes, more than Halo. I wasn't as excited when Halo met FN as when The Office did. So that's the proof.

[hasty zinc]

that's fair

now we need Parks and Rec and a Star Trek collab with FN

I wish there was a letterboxd but for hardware and video game reviews
I like movies but not enough to review them

[misty marsh]

In my defense, I had a phase of not being able to study without a movie in the background

[obsidian wyvern]

there is for games

[zinc bear]

Nuh uh

[zinc bear]

Yk what maybe I should use google more

[obsidian wyvern]

also not accepted

[zinc bear]

i dont get how people study with anything in the background
i cant study with music cause i start to write the lyrics of the song instead of what i actually wanna write

[misty marsh]

Same tbh lyrical music distracts me so I just play soundtracks

[obsidian wyvern]

the lock in playlist

[misty marsh]

Idk why that doesn't apply for movies

[naive turret]

If I'm studying it's gotta be something lowkey and ambient

[misty marsh]

I need to add more tracks 😤

[zinc bear]

I have 1 playlist and it has every song/album I like so like over 1000 songs
I cannot make another playlist

[misty marsh]

I have like a yearly dump playlist where I just throw in everything I like

[obsidian wyvern]

we watch aot and youll have so many

[naive turret]

This reminds me I ought to update mine

[misty marsh]

Then I have random other playlists for specific purposes

[zinc bear]

Still not one for rating hardware
Get mogged revenant

[floral pollen]

I mean.. I do hate CE, so

Rev get out of my walls smh

[zinc bear]

WHY

[jade gust]

Yeah, it's not easy to get rid of a Rev when they're in your walls

[zinc bear]

CE is PEAK especially anniversary cause we see Linda

[floral pollen]

I've never enjoyed it
Yes the story is good
But the gameplay feels painfully slow in like any outdoors section
Also bc they never seem to give you a vehicle

[zinc bear]

Honestly I get that
That’s the reason why I haven’t replayed CE since like 2023

I’m excited to use sprint in campaign evolved, especially on the Halo mission since it’s very slow paced

[floral pollen]

I never wish to touch it again now that I've done Legendary (I am never doing LASO)

[jade gust]

Having the ability to move a bit faster at the cost of being able to fire your weapon while moving at that faster speed would resolve that... I wonder what we could call a mechanic like that?

[floral pollen]

Honestly, as much as I don't care for the remake at all, I do wanna see if sprint helps

[jade gust]

I would bet it will

[floral pollen]

I'll prolly just get a month of gamepass whenever it comes out (if it's cheaper than just buying the game), and play through once or twice

[zinc bear]

im excited for it cause i just like anything halo

hence the reason why i keep getting called a bootlicker

[jade gust]

I'm mainly interested in the prequel missions honestly

[zinc bear]

lol that was funny

[blazing cave]

Why is it called “Halo’s Silver Anniversary”?

[floral pollen]

Honestly same
And since there's no MP, I don't really care to play much anyway besides that

[jade gust]

Because 25th Anniversaries are usually the "Silver Anniversary" of a thing

[blazing cave]

Ahhhh

I seeeeee

[zinc bear]

im excited for halo 4 remake

[blazing cave]

Facts

[zinc bear]

and halo: linda evolved

[jade gust]

Aye, outside of the difficulties, terminals and skulls (If those are something we have to seek out within the levels), I'm not sure how replayable it will be. I wouldn't mind if they take some inspiration from Resident Evil and how those games encourage repeat playthroughs

[floral pollen]

I just woulda liked a new game first tbh
Before any remakes
Since I'd like a satisfying ending to Infinites story at least

[zinc bear]

they said they have multiple projects in the works

[floral pollen]

Yea ik
I'm not doubting a Halo 7 coming
I just woulda liked it first

[zinc bear]

my theory is that campaign evolved is a project for them to test ue5 on and crossplay between ps5 xbox and pc
and also since they wanna release a game for halos 25th
same with gears reloaded

and see how the public reacts

[vagrant kettle]

Same
I guess I don’t hate things enough

"Why does John Halo from Fortnite look different"

[zinc bear]

when campaign evolved comes out we'll get one

[zinc bear]

i had a friend who didnt know what halo was and thought chief was from fortnite
it broke my heart

[dusky swan]

Dumb question, did we get confirmation if there’s a multiplayer for the CER?

[jade gust]

They've not talked about multiplayer beyond co-op campaign

[zinc bear]

theres a multiplayer but not pvp
just multiplayer campaign

[jade gust]

Like, none of the stuff talking about the game mentions anything about PvP

[dusky swan]

[normal owl]

• Added 4-player and crossplat co-op
• Removed LAN play

[zinc bear]

NO LAN?

[jade gust]

I imagine they will have friendly fire turned on though

[steady jolt]

^ this.

It's campaign only

[zinc bear]

no lan 💔

[normal owl]

Most of the people confident that Halo "removed multiplayer" don't know the fundamental fact that CE never had online multiplayer.

[steady jolt]

You'll still have splitscreen as far as I know

[ocean herald]

i hope they release a demo before whenever it releases

[dusky swan]

Gearbox was the goat for that, even if their netcode was garbage

[jade gust]

I do have to wonder if they'll be adding Firefight in some form. I wouldn't mind seeing some of the environments repurposed for that

[zinc bear]

only good thing randy bumford has ever done

[candid tusk]

Would be nice to have UE5 Sidewinder though...

[jade gust]

Sorry, another Blood Gulch remake is happening instead /j

[dusky swan]

[hasty zinc]

that's a weird way to spell Chiron TL-34

[zinc bear]

get him out of my sight

[jade gust]

We gotta make our players really wonder why they're here

[dusky swan]

[candid tusk]

You know, honestly that'd be great too. Really cause pain to the younger generation. They need to know what a FPS version of Scooby Doo looks like.

[hasty zinc]

people slept on that map so hard

it was actually really fun

[dusky swan]

Chiron?

[hasty zinc]

yee

[jade gust]

They should've remade it for Halo Infinite as an official dev remake map

[zinc bear]

why doesnt campaign evolved have haven im not buying

[dusky swan]

Chiron was a car crash in slow motion. Hard to look away, awe inspiring even

[hasty zinc]

rockets on Chiron

[dusky swan]

How it got through the drawing boards is beyond me, but I appreciate it

[candid tusk]

It got through the drawing boards by having a pipeline that doesn't have drawing boards.

And it's all the better for it. CE my beloved.

[zinc bear]

i wanna be included but i never remember map names

[hasty zinc]

Rockets on Foundation will always be my favorite map/mode combo

[jade gust]

They were just throwing anything at the wall

[analog knot]

99% of Chiron nowadays is Hellbringers. What a train wreck of Map/Gametype combos

[dusky swan]

Y’all be forgetting snipers/shotties on Narrows. Talk about a truly awful experience

[analog knot]

Shotty Snipers was in Ranked TS at launch, what a time

[zinc bear]

ohhh shotty snipers my beloved

[dusky swan]

Man

[hasty zinc]

Dino Blasters

[zinc bear]

fortnite blasters

[waxen rose]

Transformers dinobot reference

[robust salmon]

kinda crazy how epic went from Gears of War to Fortnite

[zinc bear]

almost like theyre just greedy and have been since the start

[zinc bear]

boy go do your high school stuff

[hasty zinc]

oh no, company wants to make as much money as they can??

THE SHAME

[dusky swan]

Tbf, Epic went from making Unreal engine to monetizing it

[thick furnace]

halo devs please kill fred next game

[waxen rose]

School was canceled because it's -45 out.

[zinc bear]

ohh ok

[zinc bear]

im a proud epic games hater since the start

[waxen rose]

It is when they're predatory and greedy

[robust salmon]

Even Gears of War?

[zinc bear]

prime example: locking maps and matchmaking modes behind DLC paywalls

[thick furnace]

halo studios would never..

[zinc bear]

i love gears but the dlcs aint it chief

[robust salmon]

Gears of War is peak and slander of it will NEVER be tolerated

[hasty zinc]

yeah like Bungie did, I agree

[waxen rose]

[normal owl]

If you think most companies whose products and services you use are not trying to make as much money as they can and aren't preying on your basest human psychology, then you live an extremely privileged life in an ivory tower.

[waxen rose]

Why are you attacking me

[normal owl]

"for a limited time only"

[dusky swan]

You will own nothing and be happy

[zinc bear]

"leave the multi billion dollar companies alone!!"

[zinc bear]

you will only own a digital license for your games that we can take away at any time and not refund you for it

[robust salmon]

buy on GOG lil brosquito

[normal owl]

more like "don't condemn the company in charge of the IP we're in this very server for if you participate and condone the same things in many other like aspects of your life".

[zinc bear]

im talking about epic games never said anything about halo studios

[waxen rose]

We were talking about epic

Like…

[robust salmon]

UE5 is a good engine tho

[zinc bear]

yeah epic just sucks

[amber mirage]

I'll remember this

[robust salmon]

trve...

[dusky swan]

At least with digital licenses, the software is mostly running on your bare metal. It gets way trickier for me with cloud services

[waxen rose]

Not rok from fortnite💔

[dusky swan]

My Steam library is close to $2,000 strong and it could be gone tomorrow

[molten pelican]

What

[normal owl]

Halo Studios is relying on Epic. Just chill with the bandwagon hate. It's unconstructive.

[robust salmon]

at least a digital game can be cracked and preserved. Slop like cloud services are lost forever when servers inevitably go offline

[amber mirage]

Cracking is illegal though

[robust salmon]

which is why we should fight against cloud services

[robust salmon]

only if you distribute the files afterward

[normal owl]

You start the movement.

[dusky swan]

Me cracking my knuckles rn for the knuckle sammich u finna get

[jade gust]

Got ya, I will go punch the fog the next time it descends on my home

[zinc bear]

all of a sudden im not allowed to criticize a company? epic has done the same things bungie has and yall criticize them for the same exact reasons

[robust salmon]

I don't pay for any cloud services. They all run like garbage anyways.

[normal owl]

Take it to @bleak yoke as you know.

[waxen rose]

The fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is

[zinc bear]

im literally calling them greedy for locking matchmaking behind paywalls. the same things bungie has done

[molten pelican]

Oh we are hating on cloud gaming, I can get in on this

[dusky swan]

Always bb

[robust salmon]

I don't think this has been done since the 360 days

[zinc bear]

i dont have an issue with cloud gaming
its good for people with bad gaming rigs

[robust salmon]

games don't have DLC map packs for MP anymore

[robust salmon]

it's an attack on personal computing

[normal owl]

They do not, so you must have last used them a while ago.

[amber mirage]

Under US copyright law, creating a cracked copy, even if you don't distribute it also counts as copyright infringement.

[vagrant kettle]

“But if halo comes to ps the giant company that sucks out my dollars will lose money 🥺”

[waxen rose]

You say as I cry against my halo 2 mp map pack dvd

[robust salmon]

the feds, WEF, FSB, they all want you to use cloud services so they can have ultimate control over your computer

[jade gust]

[hasty zinc]

@normal owl it IS the Scarn dance!

[zinc bear]

[normal owl]

Is it available to buy yet??

[waxen rose]

I have h3 one too but only if you ask nicely

[zinc bear]

not out it was just announced

[jade gust]

I refuse to be royalty

[hasty zinc]

tonight after teh shop resets

[zinc bear]

there was a dlc dvd for h3?

[stuck mulch]

You’ll still have my praise

[waxen rose]

Idk I just have two

[zinc bear]

i own almost every halo on 360
i just want the map packs

[waxen rose]

I not getting out of bed to check mu dvd wall

[robust salmon]

that was 20+ years ago

[waxen rose]

One day we will revert back fo the greed

[analog knot]

Accidentally dividing your playerbase of millions of players is a great problem to have though, have to admit

[waxen rose]

Waiter waiter more dvd mp maps please!

[hasty zinc]

"accidentally"

[amber mirage]

I'm sure if you made something you wouldn't want someone else to steal it, that's why laws like this exist.

[dusky swan]

That’s how rocket league was prior to the epic takeover tbh

[zinc bear]

waiter waiter please give me more $20 dlcs so i cant play with my friends!!

[waxen rose]

Waiter I am STARVING

[zinc bear]

waiter waiter more microtransactions so you can lock cosmetics!!

[jade gust]

I would like to poilitely ask for the waiter to bring me more games which don't try and lean too much into realism for the graphics

[waxen rose]

So when are you buying me the fred armor

[zinc bear]

yesterday

[amber mirage]

I think it's a safe bet that there's probably more games that don't aim for realistic graphics than there are that do

[normal owl]

If you want AAA games, then you want microtransactions, because you definitely will never be able to convince enough people to pay full retail price for a game that reflects recoupment, inflation, and profit expectations.

[zinc bear]

if i made a game so peak that people will go out of their way to steal it just so they could play it i would be honored

[waxen rose]

Bring back low poly chief
I hate high poly chief I dont wanna see the 3 microspecks of dirt on his left knee💔🤞

[zinc bear]

you can make an AAA game without microtransactions

[dusky swan]

Tell that to a shareholder lol

[normal owl]

Otherwise, there are plenty of shovelware games (now made with AI assistance!) for your pleasure.

[analog knot]

What happens if the games main monetization scheme is MTX but they have no players, asking for a friend (the friend is me)

[amber mirage]

But what about a AAA multiplayer game?

[zinc bear]

you can do that

[waxen rose]

Too many double a’s, i don't have enough batteries for you people

[zinc bear]

ill make one tomorrow
stay tuned for halo linda royale

[zinc bear]

lol what
why are we moving to insults

[dusky swan]

Oh dude that’s gold

Stealing that

[zinc bear]

this isnt even about halo

[jade gust]

I would kill for a Halo game with visuals heavily based on 90's anime. Like, not just as inspiration for the designs, but the actual graphics within the game taking heavy inspiration from them

[zinc bear]

like the RVB anime episodes 🔥

[normal owl]

I have a friend in a similar predicament who has an in-game wallet with a lot of wasted never-to-be-used currency lol

[jade gust]

Aye. But not what I was specifically thinking of

[waxen rose]

People

A good book (warriorcats)

Scholars
I fixed it for you

[zinc bear]

dareal

a good book (diary of a wimpy kid)

halo studios CEO

[analog knot]

I have over 2000 Spartan Points in MCC that I will likely never get to use and I'm supposed to pretend it was ever a good idea to sell me more 😛
