[patent goblet]

Also guys does anyone know how many warnings till you get taken out back and shot😨 i keep accidentally typing banned words its scary i dont wabna get ban

[coral yoke]

instructions unclear; the stars are now verbally telling me to make soup

[zinc bear]

I don’t think you’ll get banned for auto mute. You’re more likely to get banned by just being a negative Nancy.

[chilly summit]

you haven't praised halo studios enough quick do it now

[zinc bear]

And also, if you have any more questions DM @bleak yoke for confirmation.

[patent goblet]

Halo studios i love you but tr bringing me down, halo studios i love you but yr bringing me down

[patent goblet]

@bleak yoke hi

[zinc bear]

@calm fiber how you doing babes?

[patent goblet]

@calm fiber you owe me money.

I beat halo 3 today

[zinc bear]

I hate H3

[patent goblet]

Again for the billionth time

[patent goblet]

Why do you feel this way?

[zinc bear]

I hate everything

[coral yoke]

i half expected a "i'm sorry for you"

[zinc bear]

My name is John negative Nancy

[patent goblet]

This is true

[zinc bear]

Aw man.. that would’ve been better!

[patent goblet]

Also I cant praise halo studios.. I have a very personal beef with Microsoft rn 😾

[zinc bear]

Microsoft stole my lunch money

[patent goblet]

Microsoft my ops

[zinc bear]

Hey, Phil Spencer took my lunch money!

[rare cedar]

Explains why he left Xbox

[patent goblet]

Xbox doesn't let me play a game i own its very annoying 😿

[rare cedar]

Buy the physical copy then

[patent goblet]

I own it physically

[forest wigeon]

I pray one day the halo gods will turn their back from us halo wars players and accept us with open arms 🥺

[zinc bear]

Halo wars loves you too bro

[patent goblet]

Disc is fine, its hitman 2 they removed hitman 2 from xbox and now if i wanna play the game i already own i gotta buy a bundle when I already own the game😺

[zinc bear]

That’s just the hitman devs sucking

[patent goblet]

True

[zinc bear]

Microsoft got nothing to do with that

[patent goblet]

Sorry Microsoft we no longer have beef

[chilly summit]

22 days under the new xbox ceo and we're already getting gaming copilot 🕊️

[zinc bear]

Me and Microsoft still have beef
After they introduced Xbox live gold..

[patent goblet]

Actually wait no we do, you haven't done a repress of the halo soundtracks on vinyl. And odst isnt on vinyl so we still got beef

[zinc bear]

Gaming copilot has been here since before she took over

[forest wigeon]

Gold used to get me in hella trouble when I I was kid

[chilly summit]

into the consoles too?

[zinc bear]

Wait it’s in the consoles now?

[patent goblet]

Hella... like the band...

[chilly summit]

it's coming to the consoles now i think yeah

[forest wigeon]

My parents were NOT tryna buy that

[zinc bear]

Eh
They were prolly gonna do that before she took over. I mean, there’s no way they could’ve implemented AI co pilot into Xbox in 22 days

[patent goblet]

New ceo should give me $40

Ngl mods should hire me i will ban everyone that I have an ever so slightly disagreement with

[zinc bear]

WE should be hired

[patent goblet]

Yes

[chilly summit]

yes WE

[patent goblet]

My cat is asleep next to me

[chilly summit]

do they work for halo studios

[humble mango]

Im being trolled

[coral yoke]

i love losing streaks

just makes the grind feel so much more like a grind

[jade gust]

Oh to have a cat sleeping next to me

[verbal drift]

i haven’t played halo in a while

[edgy citrus]

Is Halo the goat

Or is it the elephant

[coral yoke]

halo is the horse

[edgy citrus]

Maybe the bee?

[patent goblet]

They out to get you

[chilly summit]

halo is the sandwich

[verbal drift]

halo is the bird

[fickle drift]

is the support page down rn on halo waypoint?

[patent goblet]

Yawn

[potent musk]

Wait Master Chief was supposed to just rot away after Halo 3 until 343 changed it right

[zinc bear]

he was gonna wait until he was woken up, which cortana did in h4

[potent musk]

I know but H3's ending was just kind of the end of his story

[zinc bear]

well yeah
until it was continued

[viral dune]

Should've completely skipped H2

[zinc bear]

i will never make you another sticker ever again

[viral dune]

Will anything top this

[zinc bear]

tbh no
i cant make a better one

[viral dune]

Exactly, that's why I named it the ultimate hot oj sticker

[jade gust]

Before Bungie settled on making Reach, they had thought about doing a Halo 4. But since they were already on their way out the door at Microsoft, they decided to instead make a prequel game. And from what some of the Bungie devs from that time have said, their idea for a Bungie Halo 4 is not too dissimilar to what the actual Halo 4 was

[viral dune]

It's got everything I need to be happy

[zinc bear]

actually its missing me

so not EVERYTHING but

[viral dune]

😂😂

[zinc bear]

💔

ok its 3 AM
i shall sleep

[viral dune]

I was about to ask lol what are you doing up so late

It's 4 am for me

[zinc bear]

i was modding HD2 and downloading resident evil 2 remake cause my aunt wants to watch me play it

helldivers 2, not halo 2. icky its okay dont crash out

[viral dune]

LMAO

I was about to hit send on "are you modding the multiplayer to make it bearable"

[zinc bear]

i was just installing tons of halo mods for HD2
no H2 mods and i even installed the H3 main menu music too

okay well gn

[meager linden]

Good day people of Halo

[patent goblet]

Hello

[chilly summit]

dude at my airsoft game has a battle rifle i'm so jealous

[jaunty phoenix]

Must have said battle rifle. That is essential.

[potent musk]

Guys I'm freaking out rn, I'm pretty busy and I've prematurely left a handful of Halo Mltiplayer matches and now I'm probably going to have a trash rep score

Should I try to play Firefight or smth

[pastel bobcat]

Probably

[unborn coral]

Hey, just joined the server 👋👋👋👋

[pastel bobcat]

Yellow

[unborn coral]

👋👋👋👋

[pastel bobcat]

Have any of you guys heard of a video game called "halo" by any chance

[steady jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/ron-burgundy-ron-burgundy-anchorman-never-heard-gif-137750405740834355

[pastel bobcat]

It's pretty good

[unborn coral]

I believe I have, definitely rings a bell

[potent musk]

Indeed, it does ring a bell.

Ba-dum-tsss

[unborn coral]

Okay that was good

[pastel bobcat]

What if there was halo combat devolved and it took place thousands of years in the past

[unborn coral]

That would actually be really cool

[rough thicket]

boutta be fighting on the new invention called the wheel 😭

[unborn coral]

😂😂😂😂 bro what fr, but seriously tho it sounds like a cool concept ngl

[deep night]

if i try to play sweatinite I'll loose definitely

[coral yoke]

if you're worried about losing because of tryhards, play firefight where the opposite happens

[deep night]

Fair

[trim saddle]

Whaaaaaat

[trim saddle]

Welcome!

[coral yoke]

chivalry 2 in the halo universe sounds...like a concept. that somebody brought up.

[unborn coral]

Ty also sry for the semi-late response just saw this

[coral yoke]

i'm all for seeing sangheili curveblades get some use though

[potent musk]

Is there any way to get more gore into Halo 3?

I want to bathe myself in the blood of a million innocent grunts.

[jade gust]

Mods

I know there's one modder who made one which adds in a primitive dismemberment system

[naive turret]

There was one for CE but I can't remember the name, I wasn't a fan ngl

Speaking of mods I'm trying RE4: Berserker and I've nearly thrown my controller four times already lol

[deep night]

Gore in halo 😍😍😍

[jade gust]

I have heard horror stories about that mod and the people who played it. I wish you good luck!

[jade gust]

Honestly, gore in Halo has never really been a big part of it so I don't get the fixation people have with making Halo more gory

[coral yoke]

thanks you (scratch that, i) just tied whatever the hell i was talking about (the chivalry thing) into this conversation

[signal wedge]

Because there is plasma and big explosions in this game but nothing happens

[jade gust]

And that's something in plenty of games, again, I'm not sure what the weird fixation is

Unless you're gonna try and tell me Super Mario needs to show us Mario being dismembered every time he is blown up by a Bobomb or slashed at by Bowser

[signal wedge]

Halo is a game about war tho
Like Battlefield and COD

[coral yoke]

halo's already rated m, mario is not

[deep night]

gears has gore when getting blown up

[signal wedge]

But it's okay if everything is all cartoony, blue blood comes out when you hit grunts. Doesnt change anything for me tbh, just kinda weird you can get a lot of gore in the books the game will never show

[naive turret]

I definitely get wanting gore as a feedback mechanic, dismemberment is a good, diegetic substitute for something like a health bar for example

But Halo to me has always gotten away with shield flares and ragdolls, with blood being a neat detail thing that was only really as prominent as people say in CE

The exception being the Flood, ofc.

[jade gust]

Halo was barely pushing the M rating in the earlier titles and with the time since the early days of rating games, they've evolved how they judge games that I imagine if CE released today (As in the original Combat Evolved releasing today and not a remake), it wouldn't get an M rating

[signal wedge]

Doesn't even have to be too gorey. Just cutscenes like Marines getting blown to bits or melting doesnt exist at all

[jade gust]

The thing with the Flood is that because they're not counted as human (Anymore). They could potentially get away with them in a T rated game

[pastel bobcat]

This

[deep night]

halo combat evolved getting a t rating is just pathetic tbh

[signal wedge]

They need them teens to play so their mom and dads can give them money

[naive turret]

Obligatory 'they're all PEGI 16'

I'm sorry you guys in the US are so fixated on it

[jade gust]

It honestly is such an odd fixation to me

Like "Oh no, the game which was barely at this one rating isn't this rating anymore"

It's not like the age rating determines if the game is good

[naive turret]

It's a pretty low-res target of what I'm sure they think is the outcome of...idk a censorship campaign?

[jade gust]

I usually hear people claim it's because 343 wanted to target kids

But like, game devs aren't the ones who decide the rating

[signal wedge]

Microsoft wanted to target kids

[pastel bobcat]

I don't like how people blame 343 for every bad thing that happened to halo like yeah they made it but they aren't 100% in control of the games they're making

[naive turret]

https://c.tenor.com/UIXlMricy70AAAAd/tenor.gif

For the kids

[signal wedge]

I mean they do somewhat control the ratings right. Like making no gore and toned down violence

[jade gust]

I think it's a case of so many people not wanting to learn how things actually go within the games industry

[naive turret]

Certification boards independently verify games after they've gone gold, no?
Or at least that's how it's supposed to work

[jade gust]

Like, I have encountered so many people who, even when they have the most simple explination of how things work, they still go "No, that's not what goes on at all"

[deep night]

343 was also to blame for hiring non halo fans

[jade gust]

Usually around then or just before

[naive turret]

I don't imagine a lot of guys at Bungie where Halo fans when working on H2

[signal wedge]

Paramount show writers

[patent goblet]

Me

[jade gust]

Non-fans can work on a franchise or sport, I worked on Football games and I'm definitely not a Football person

[jade gust]

Actually look at the violence and gore on display in the Bungie and 343 era games, any toning down is much less than you think it is

[naive turret]

Also I spent my morning listening to a go-over of the recent Silent Hill film, the director of which said SH2 is his favourite game of all time
And considering what he churned out maybe fandom isn't a good barometer for being put in charge of something

[jade gust]

Aye. I can't help but think about how for Andor, Gilroy was very much not a big Star Wars nerd and had people working on it who sure, knew what Star Wars is, they weren't die hard fans

That outsider perspective is pretty important to have

[signal wedge]

Gilroy didn't have to handle any Jedi or existing characters

[potent musk]

Master Chief has the greatest sense of humor I've ever seen.

[naive turret]

Mothma, Krennic, Saw, and even had an Admiral Yularen cameo where appropriate.

It wasn't a revolving door of deepfake cameos because he didn't have that FIloni mindset of jangling keys.

[jade gust]

I'd wager a Jedi (Not any of the known Jedi to be clear) written by Gilroy would be really interesting to see, but I'm glad he wasn't mandated to include one in Andor. It wasn't a story about the space wizards with laser swords, it was a story about the common people of the galaxy

[coral yoke]

safe to say i hardly know any jedi aside from the player character

damn did i already forget his name?

[naive turret]

I wish Gilroy was given something like Obi Wan. So it could've been an engaging introspective character drama instead of Fallen Order but worse.

[signal wedge]

You're right. But like I still think you need someone with deep star wars experience to handle main title films. Gilroy was good but he made a rebel thriller that happened off screen before episode IV

[jade gust]

Oh how cool a Kenobi show with Gilroy writing would be

[naive turret]

Guy took time during the off-season in Covid to redraft scripts and tighten them up. What an insane concept that is in an industry where Multiverse of Madness was shooting before its second act was written.

[jade gust]

Aye, last thing I would want is to be on a production like that

[signal wedge]

the ginger?

[naive turret]

Cal Kestis, or Jedi Purge survivor like 1000 at this point

tbf I do quite like him

[signal wedge]

Yeah he's dying by Jedi 3 alright

[coral yoke]

seeing how badly survivor runs, i think our hardware might be dying first

[naive turret]

Thank goodness for dlss not excusing it just happy I was able to play

[signal wedge]

I ran survivor fine tbh. But that was like 2 years after release

[jade gust]

I remember crunching the numbers on how many survived the purge and it's interesting because before the purge, there was somewhere between 10,000 and 12,000 Jedi. But after, there's somewhere around 100. In isolation, 100 does sound like allot, but factor in how many died and just how big the galaxy in Star Wars is. It really is a small number of survivors

[naive turret]

I guess it just feels inflated with so many projects coming out that introduce a new one

[jade gust]

Aye, we don't need every story to feature someone who survived because it does feel repetitive when it keeps happening

[signal wedge]

It doesnt matter anyway. We all know in the end Palpatine somehow returns and every Jedi dies again

[naive turret]

Nah I just headcanon switch to EU after ROTJ

[signal wedge]

Makes good Star Trek movies so he decided to hijack Star Wars

[jade gust]

I'm not saying only have people who aren't experts on the IP to be clear, I just think having someone who isn't neck deep into a franchise is a good way to keep things from getting too self referential and full of pointless cameos instead of actually telling a good story

[jade gust]

That's very much not how it went down. JJ didn't hijack Star Wars because he did good Star Trek films

And I'm gonna be honest, I think once the original director left Episode 9's production, it was gonna be a wreck no matter who took over

[naive turret]

Yeah in the end up how entrenched you are in a franchise is secondary to your ability as a writer / director, etc.
And ofc given time and support to actually put said ability to use

[signal wedge]

Yeah they seem to conflict with each other, I don't remember how but I don't wanna

[signal wedge]

I guess it's also their job to research the IP they are working on. Obviously

[toxic meteor]

I have a stupid question. Can you get the monopolized achievement in H2 with the scarab skull or no

[naive turret]

If it's a non-scoring skull that voids times so no

[vagrant kettle]

I hated multiverse of madness

And I loved Andor

[signal wedge]

Regarding the first movie you mentioned...

Did not adapt the book well, but it's well knwon regardless

[vagrant kettle]

Starship troopers is the Greatest Film of All Time

[naive turret]

https://klipy.com/gifs/andor-the-eye

Or at least one of them

[naive turret]

what a show, I wish I could watch it again with fresh eyes

[viral dune]

That reminds me of something

Hi Guys

Greetings

[viral dune]

[signal wedge]

I just got back to playin HD2

[south bramble]

Whens the next halo multiplayer game coming out? Infinite is getting a bit bland, kinda curious to see whats up next

[signal wedge]

I can't wait for the movie

[south bramble]

HD2 movie? Since when?

[signal wedge]

When pigs start flying and Fish start climbing trees

[signal wedge]

it's confirmed by Sony or something with the fast furious director directin

[south bramble]

Dude thats dope

[south bramble]

Sounds about right

[fair abyss]

After halo campaign evolved, I think

[signal wedge]

Yeah

I just... hope that it's Justin Lin style

[patent goblet]

Yawn

[jade gust]

You say this as if pigs can't fly

[signal wedge]

My keboard keeps switching to UK and suddenly @ becomes """"""" this makes me so mad

[south bramble]

Mine switches to french lol

[viral dune]

https://tenor.com/view/bad-piggies2-gif-26842263

[signal wedge]

can they? only if they are on aircraft perhaps

[viral dune]

This game taught me that pigs can fly

[jade gust]

Not quite what I was thinking but sure, we'll go with that

Im in Toronto technically

Im too lazy to find specific flags atm

[misty marsh]

Peak

[fair abyss]

What can I do in Infinite after getting hero rank?

It seems that everything in this game bored me

[viral dune]

Wanna know what else is peak

[meager linden]

Finishing all possible battle passes(optional)

[fair abyss]

There is one problem, I can't buy them

But I really want to buy the Season 1 Battle Pass

[meager linden]

Iirc, you can buy all old battle passes, but that has arrived after "Frontline" you can't anymore

[fair abyss]

I know, I mean, I can't buy them because I'm from Belarus

And I can't make a payment with my card, but I want to find another way

[trim saddle]

Get hero rank again on an alt and give yourself challenges or restrictions.

[fair abyss]

It seems that after the previous grind, I don't want to repeat it again, the previous getting the hero rank exhausted me a lot

[chilly summit]

ranked grind ig

[fair abyss]

I don't play very well, and it's difficult to find a match there

Maybe I'll try it later

[meager linden]

Good evening people of Halo

[pastel bobcat]

I burned my hand and now I can't play halo reach today

Did you notice the 67 on chiefs armor?

[viral dune]

I didn't notice it yesterday lmao

[potent musk]

I've always noticed that.

It pisses me off.

[viral dune]

That's not good

[fathom ore]

Six Seven

[zinc bear]

@ocean herald what’s your stance on 67?

[naive turret]

I was not prepared for the big plaga

[jade gust]

Just give yourself to the holy body and you don't have to worry about big plaga anymore

But yeah, that sucks it's hard

[cosmic shale]

Anyone else agree that halo 5 guardians is really bad campaign wise 🙏

Ngl glad didn’t get a pc port

[zinc bear]

I’m playing RE:2 remake for the first time and have a master chief mod installed

I’ve never played the resident evil franchise other than a bit of RE:2 on my ps4

[hazy grove]

I have such a good joke I wanna post

But I don’t have image perms 😭

[jade gust]

Please tell me you've seen the RE5 clip

[zinc bear]

“Did you put a mod in this?”
“No.”

[naive turret]

It's so well timed lol

[zinc bear]

Apparently that music plays with the mod whenever chief is on the screen and it wasn’t edited in lol

[jade gust]

It really is perfectly timed

Easily one of my favourite genres of meme. Chief showing up somewhere unexpected

[naive turret]

I'm debating a replay myself at some point, great game

[zinc bear]

I hope someone re creates that with chief on the newest resident evil

[jade gust]

Someone already has I believe

[zinc bear]

No way lol

[jade gust]

https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/631

[zinc bear]

Oh yeah I saw that. I meant the video from RE:5

[naive turret]

this is truly an evil resident

I'm gonna get punished for this

[jade gust]

Maybe you should've brought the Punisher instead

[zinc bear]

Leon would say smth corny like that

“This residents.. they’re evil, but stand no chance against my requiem.”

[viral dune]

"...deluxe edition"

[zinc bear]

“Out now.”

[simple wave]

Hero this week

[jade gust]

"Now featuring Dante from Devil May Cry"

[simple wave]

depends how much I play today, tomorrow, Tuesday

[zinc bear]

“With PC mod support and 4K visuals on the PS5 and Xbox series X.”

[jade gust]

Side note, I am surprised they never gave Leon a DMC outfit in RE4 given that they spun Devil May Cry off of RE4 during development

[silk hare]

I need Hunk is Jega in RER MOD

[meager linden]

30 matches per day and you will reach Hero faster than you planned

[naive turret]

Dante's coat looks great on Leon too, they could've called it Redgrave for the reference

[jade gust]

I imagine that would be harder since Jega isn't exactly the most human shaped character

[simple wave]

With 147k left, and minimum median score being 10k total points per match, it could be up to 15 matches left.

Remember we have the 2.3x multiplier.

[deep night]

Why is it hard to find games now

[simple wave]

I find Firefight fast.

[silk hare]

Maybe D:

[deep night]

I don't

[indigo lotus]

The more evil resident are the Baker family from 7

[naive turret]

I really like the story of 7 but it's not one I want to play personally

[simple wave]

Firefight does actually take a few minutes to find sometimes but most of the time it is very quick.

[patent goblet]

Hii

[fair abyss]

I spent 4-5 hours getting a hero rank in firefight on weekdays, it gave me 100k points every day, and on weekends I got 200-300k, although I was very bored with this mode, but it was the fastest way to reach hero rank

[ocean herald]

No thoughts

Hello can anyone tell me how I would go about running a Halo server?

[hasty zinc]

what kind of halo server?

[jaunty phoenix]

Infinite. Anything. Experimental.

[analog knot]

When you say server, are you meaning like a dedicated server i.e. a game function? Something like we used to do in 2004 for CE on PC? Or like this, a Discord server? 😄 A custom game browser?

[jaunty phoenix]

Yes yes and yes.

Im down to clown.

Jk i want to do Halo gaming server. For infinity. Because yes.

What kind of rabbit hole am I going down here?

I want system secs. Creative paramiters and limits ie the rules.

Potential problems and solutions.

I need a room.

[meager linden]

Warhammer 40k feels more like a funny game, not serious lmao

Halo Campaign Evolved Remake pls

Wait.
Do you want the remake, which is Halo Campaign Evolved or do you want a remake of Campaign Evolved?

[stable grove]

you want a remake of a remake?

[obsidian wyvern]

would I be surprised if 343 did that

[pastel bobcat]

They should make the code for the original ce open source when campaign evolved releases

[stable grove]

halo ce anniversary is already enough, graphics still are pretty good to this day

[fathom ore]

yes

[fathom ore]

remake of Campaign Evolved

[obsidian wyvern]

you'd think

[fathom ore]

Halo CeA looks good

[stable grove]

its not even out yet mate ✌️

I mean they're not and it doesn't but that's not reason for another attempt imo

I think Contact Harvest is a pretty cool guy. Eh gives motivational speeches and doesn't afraid of anything.

Oh…

[haughty cedar]

i hate the numbers 343

[tacit atlas]

434 kidnapped my non existent pet hamster and killed halo!!! /s

[stable grove]

343 wanted to contain the flood, 434 wanted to release it

[wraith storm]

@waxen rose ts is for you

[regal stratus]

Halo 3 Recon is the best Helmet ever designed and I will rot and decay on that hill

[meager linden]

Mark 7 better

[waxen rose]

Awww

[regal stratus]

2nd place goes to either Cambion or the Mark 5 Zeta

[stable grove]

valid take

me personally i like reachs mk v b

[regal stratus]

Modern Recon is cool but it's too skinny for me

[stable grove]

fair enough

[regal stratus]

If Infinite could get 1 more update I would wish for Recon gen 1 to be in the Exchange

[stable grove]

i doubt infinite will be getting anything like that

[regal stratus]

A man can dream

[stable grove]

a man certainly can dream

[meager linden]

They are now more focused on new games
But, iirc, they are still supporting the game

[stable grove]

honestly im just waiting for campaign evolved

infinite got too boring very quickly for me

[regal stratus]

This is why I used words like "if" and "wish"

[modest hill]

Facts

[simple wave]

343

[pastel bobcat]

Ttue

[whole lark]

really wish that the first vanguard and the serpens sets werent also mark vii sets because i already have a good set on my mark vii

[whole lark]

not sure how much i wanna play campaign evolved considering the whole AI thing

[pastel bobcat]

What

[whole lark]

they're likely to use genAI for assets

which like.... ew?

[stable grove]

not a fan of generative ai in games either, but its better than no halo game

[naive turret]

You can filter down to 'The AI Issue' section. I'm assuming Rolling Stone Magazine is a reputable enough source.
https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-gaming/halo-campaign-evolved-remake-impressions-1235451111/

[stable grove]

hold on this is pretty interesting

“I want to be very clear … People are creative. People make games. AI can improve workflows. It can do things for the game,” Conn says. “But I want to be very specific and clear that the people are the ones who are creating the game, and there’s an opportunity to improve a workflow, or something along those lines, we’ll look at it again. It really should be additive to the creation of a game.”

[pastel bobcat]

Interesting

[whole lark]

to me thats just talk for "its gonna be in and we just wont tell u instead"

[pastel bobcat]

The excuse of "it's done to improve workflow" is already overused which sucks

[whole lark]

yeah like. using ai for your work usually makes it slower and worse anyways

[pastel bobcat]

The game IS called halo: campAIgn evolved though

[naive turret]

This was for folk interested in what the people involved had actually said so draw your own conclusions.

It's not a title I'm interested in anyway.

[stable grove]

shame it wont have multiplayer, I mean the title already revealed it

[waxen rose]

Draw my own conclusions? Don’t mind if I do 👨‍🎨

[whole lark]

id rather wait for a good multiplayer halo after the ai bubble pops

[stable grove]

valid

[faint mantle]

In my experience with SQL queries, it depends. But most of the time, a query that would have taken me hours or even a whole day, is reduced to taking a few minutes, leaving me with more time to do other, more important things.

[pastel bobcat]

I suppose I can tolerate it as long as all the models and scenery are manmade but I will riot if that's Ai

[pastel bobcat]

🥀

[indigo lotus]

The CE remake is being done by hand, being made by people. The game is not being made by AI

[whole lark]

i know it is not being entirely made by ai, because ai doesn't know anything abou t halo

[stable grove]

i wonder if it will have that toggleable feature to switch from CE-CEA?

[naive turret]

I'd much rather a technique like photogrammetry was used.
The results that have come from that tech are amazing.

[whole lark]

but you know id rather have zero ai beyond the canon ones ingame which dont have those issues

[pastel bobcat]

Halo copilot evolved

[whole lark]

true

[viral dune]

Halo gpt

[faint mantle]

If we're going to go for technicalities, then it doesn't know anything about anything. It's just predicting what the next best word it should output based on your prompt and the massive neural network it has.

[stable grove]

at the end of the day, the purpose of AI is to help with things, not replace it, though I’m not a fan of it, as long as humans made the majority of it, im not complaining

[faint mantle]

Doubt it

[stable grove]

😔

[naive turret]

It's not being layered onto a pre-existing game so a graphics toggle wouldn't exactly make sense

What old version are you toggling back to

[obsidian wyvern]

generative ai has its uses, it shouldnt be there to "replace" art though

[whole lark]

until ai is sustainable and has the ability to actually understand its work instead of spitting out a mix of stuff made and ripped from other people, i really dont think it has a place in any artistic medium including gamedev

[stable grove]

in xbox mcc, if you press the menu button, you can change from CE graphics to CEA graphics

[regal stratus]

I believe my father put it best. "AI is a tool, not a cheat code"

[stable grove]

absolutely correct

[whole lark]

campaign evolved and combat evolved are not the same game

[naive turret]

Yes because CE:A has a graphics engine layered overtop the legacy CE

CEV is a ground up project, so there's no legacy appearance to toggle back to

[stable grove]

makes sense

[indigo lotus]

The CE remake is being made from ground up. It won’t have the ability to toggle the graphics of the original CE snd CE:A

[stable grove]

still it was a feature that i liked

[whole lark]

someone will probably make something to make it look like old ce

[naive turret]

I say 'ground up' it's UE5 rendering presumably layered over whatever iteration of Blam! that Reach used for game behaviour.

[pastel bobcat]

I mean if it's really killing you cea is only 10 bucks on mcc and that has the graphics switch

[naive turret]

A switch I keep firmly off unless it's a very specific skip I need to do lol

[stable grove]

its not a biggie, just a feature that was nice

[whole lark]

i love how it always goes over reachs stuff too

guess reach was Just That Good

[stable grove]

cant wait to get battered on the library and two betrayals again

[dusk cradle]

lol

[cedar turret]

Two betrayals without the overly affectionate banshess would be more tolerable

[pastel bobcat]

I hope cea and 2a are cheap during the spring sale so I can get both

[obsidian wyvern]

they always are

[naive turret]

idk why they're using Reach as a basis for behaviours in CEV ngl, I've already seen complaints the AI is dumbed down compared to the original.
And there's no descope which is another weird choice.

[stable grove]

100%

[whole lark]

the ai in infinite was really good

[obsidian wyvern]

the ai that did nothing from what i remember

[whole lark]

(enemy ai obvs)

[naive turret]

They're not using Infinite's AI though they're using Reach's. And probably ODST's for the Flood.

[whole lark]

ik, just a shame

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 2s ai is insane

[hearty flame]

The AI is dumbed down compared to the game that pioneered enemy AI in first-person shooters???

Oh you mean Reach not Combat Evolved

[naive turret]

As in Elites don't dodge, they don't flank you as aggressively, etc.

[whole lark]

i really admired how they'd scrounge around and find other weapons that were better if they could in infinite

[cedar turret]

ODST has flood AI?

[obsidian wyvern]

firefight i assume

[naive turret]

In Firefight yes. They can pilot vehicles and infect the player model.

[whole lark]

that was a really awesome feature that i hope becomes a consistent feature amongst the banished

[steady jolt]

Where did using Reach as a basis come from, because I don't think that was ever posted anywhere

[whole lark]

thought that was from the devs mouths? and i know some playtesters have corroborated it

[steady jolt]

They're using Blam under the hood for some things, yes, but no specifics

[waxen rose]

reaching for answers
Get it?

[naive turret]

The enemy animations and behaviours, the Marines slow turn before entering vehicles, the AR having slightly reduced recoil when crouching.
It's not explicitly from a post or anything it's coming from watching the gameplay.

The Grunts even have their backpack explosions from Reach.

[whole lark]

like the exact same way too?

[naive turret]

Lemme find the part from the demo

[jade gust]

I feel like we'd have allot of this cleared up if we had a vidoc talking about this stuff

[whole lark]

or transparency

that could possibly help too

[naive turret]

It's not 'they're just layering it over reach' because that's a massive simplification

But all of the AI behaviours I've seen so far are pretty much 1-1

[whole lark]

we need them elites to feel SLIPPERY

[steady jolt]

Yeah, that seems to be what a lot of folk are saying, which is definitely not the case

[whole lark]

i dont wanna be able to stick an elite every single time, i want them to jump out the way

that stuff is awesome

[naive turret]

https://youtu.be/hSjbIM0iegY?si=9FD6B5cQmpH48E_V&t=605

Like I say there's no descope in that build either, which was a H4 exclusive thing.

[whole lark]

oh my god the backpack explosion IS the same

[stable grove]

echo 419 🫡

[silk hare]

I need Bossfights...

[whole lark]

glad echo 419 still sounds the same

[naive turret]

The Jackals are also right-handed, unlike in CE where they were left-handed.

[whole lark]

oh yea, bc reach ones were

i know its a super minor thing, but it would be interesting to see jackals with different dominant hands as a minor shakeup

[naive turret]

Like personally idm, I enjoyed Reach's PvE and taking bloom out basically fixes most of my issues

[whole lark]

reach's pve was fine but i do wish the elites were more lively and acrobatic

these are honorable warriors but they act like sitting ducks

[waxen rose]

As the worlds biggest ce fan
I hope the jackals all mysteriously disappear. Especially the snipers

[viral dune]

I hope they add hot oj

[stable grove]

that one rocket flood in the hallway

[whole lark]

do the elites in this game have different helmets

[potent musk]

I have 117GB of Halo mods

What a way to celebrate the anniversary

[waxen rose]

Make them mysteriously disappear in a pile of ash h4 horrific style and replace it with lukewarm orange juice

[naive turret]

I do wonder if they'll add Jackal snipers to certain encounters

[whole lark]

since the map is generally a lot larger and grander it wouldnt surprise me if we had needlerifle jackal snipers

[viral dune]

Jackal snipers surrounding the control room

[naive turret]

They're adding the Needle Rifle right? That's a thing I never found the source on

[viral dune]

Like, the inside of it, where there's the giant hologram

[whole lark]

yeah they said so on a post on twitter i believe

[waxen rose]

“We knew you loved the two hunters at two betrayals so we’re adding 4 jackal snipers!”

[whole lark]

tbf

if its the needlerifle we all know and love, it shouldn't tear you apart too ridiculously fast

[naive turret]

If my guess is right then Two Betrayals is gonna be where the Flood use vehicles

They might not, granted, but out of anywhere in the game

[waxen rose]

Horrifying
The spores have learned how to drive a BMW we are doomed

[whole lark]

it would make the most sense i suppose

[obsidian wyvern]

that started in 2026 with kitso being the first case

[whole lark]

imagine there were flood vehicles in the maw

[waxen rose]

She is green so that tracks

[viral dune]

Flood tank

[whole lark]

lol

god they even do the thing where they tapfire the needler

you would think the covenant guys know how to use the weapons they invented

[waxen rose]

I … would hope so

[viral dune]

Just like the helldivers

[whole lark]

kinda wish they used the old zealot helmet and not the new warlord helmet

[viral dune]

Why the oggdo h8 it's true

The Helldivers are a bunch of goofy goobers most of the time

[strong sleet]

i havent played it at all so i have no opinions

[viral dune]

Huh

[whole lark]

but like. the covenant AREN'T goofy goobers. its pretty well established that they're religious zealots who wish to purge humanity to keep their great lie strong

[naive turret]

the humble grunt enters the room

asks why he dreams in english

[whole lark]

im sure they think they're serious

grunts can be stupid maybe but why are elite majors tapfiring a needler

[naive turret]

Let's not thanks

[pastel bobcat]

Aw man

[whole lark]

its true but i dont think this is the server for it

[naive turret]

It's like 50/50 when it comes to us

[viral dune]

You're like way wayyy way off

[waxen rose]

They’re… they’re just like me fr /j

[jade gust]

You could also blow up their backpacks in Halo 3, 5 and Infinite

[whole lark]

Well yea, but it is literally the exact same as it is in reach

Down to the accelerating spin, and the timing of the explosion.

[naive turret]

This isn't relevant but

[naive turret]

Oh if it's friendly fire the accuracy goes way up

[waxen rose]

Random gameplay with red spartan who will perish in 8 to 9 hours

[jade gust]

I think replacing the Fuel Rod Shades with normal Shades would make that encounter flow better. Wouldn't fix the annoyances of the Concussion Rifle in Reach but for an opening encounter of a level, it's a brutal one

[waxen rose]

That’s why you turn the eracnid skull on and fly like a bird, I always fly away

[pastel bobcat]

My hand has stopped feeling like raw pain so I might be able to play a bit of reach

[simple wave]

125,776 to go.

[vagrant kettle]

People who have the Veteran Magnum:
When you fire, does the animation show the whole slide going backwards?

[coral yoke]

the sidekick model? i'm...still working on that

i probably wouldn't pay much attention to it either way though lmao

i just don't understand guns like some people do

[sand chasm]

Anyone here have any experience with OLED monitors?

Was thinking of getting this 500hz verison but not sure if burn in is as bad as it used to be for OLEDS

[jade gust]

I can go check it now

[pastel bobcat]

I don't think I've given enough credit to the starting handguns in these games because they're pretty good

[jade gust]

Halo's pistols range from the fantastic (CE's) to absolutely terrible (Halo 2's)

Honestly, I hope the next game gives us both the Magnum and the Sidekick, because I like the idea of there being a smaller, less powerful pistol and a hand cannon

[jade gust]

Can confirm it does move backwards while firing

[misty marsh]

Am I

[waxen rose]

It's all the matcha

[sand chasm]

I second this, two variants would be awesome

I loved Halo 5's pistol especially

[misty marsh]

Omg ur right, I should switch to pink matcha

[waxen rose]

Become neon pink immediately

[jade gust]

How I'd do it is keep the Sidekick basically as is from Halo Infinite, maybe give it a couple extra rounds. Then have the Magnum come back with similar stats to the CE Magnum and treat it like a power weapon

[sand chasm]

Love this idea!

[misty marsh]

I was neon pink for my 7th birthday actually

[jade gust]

You mean neon lightish-red?

[waxen rose]

Quiet, you

[misty marsh]

I told the face paint lady I wanted to look like draculaura and she didn't know who that was and went overboard

[jade gust]

Admittedly it's inspired by Halo 5, where we had a few different Magnum variants, including the CE Magnum

[waxen rose]

I would've wanted to look like clawdene but in retrospect that wouldn't be good

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/no-thanks-resident-evil4-leon-gif-18406020

[misty marsh]

I think cleos the easiest for me to pull off

[graceful flicker]

How come nobody ever plays infection on halo 5?

[sand chasm]

CE magnum was such a great edition to 5

[sand chasm]

Game is pretty dead honestly

[waxen rose]

Its easy to become mintgreen

[sand chasm]

Used to one of the more popular playlists too

[graceful flicker]

Firefight is up all day

[sand chasm]

I think you can find warzone lobbies sometimes too

Too bad it was not still popular, would love to play me some h5 again. My poor Series x is just collecting dust

[vagrant kettle]

Tiësto got me in firefight flowstate right now

[sand chasm]

Super fiesta seems to be thriving too

As well as ranked Slayer for the higher ranks

[pastel bobcat]

How am I supposed to believe that these genetically modified superhumans can't run for more than. 5 seconds

[simple wave]

Continuously getting perfections is all I ask at this moment.

[misty marsh]

Ugh but I dont like frankie

[sand chasm]

Most satisfying thing to do

I'm sad to hear of the passing of William C. Dietz. I met him a number of times at various conventions, mostly chatting about his Battletech and Halo novels. He was a patron saint of tie-in novelists working with games. My deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and fans.

[misty marsh]

Zootopia 3 will get it trust

[pastel bobcat]

They should put me in charge of 343 because I will make the best game ever and it will make them 100 quadrillion dollars

I will call it halo 3 2

Why not halo 2 3?

Pls watch it y'all i would rlly appreciate if u like aswell ✌️

[thorny glen]

I agree, we should get unlimited sprint, a feature Halo 5 introduced 😎

[pastel bobcat]

Halo reach creepypasta:
I was playing the game and it was. Night and there was a grunt and my game froze and he said my full name and it was scary and I couldn't turn off my Xbox and then he came out of the screen and ate all my ham

[vagrant kettle]

BECAUSE
they are twue halo fans and HATE spwint

[velvet spruce]

Oh nice

[pastel bobcat]

What is going on with my game bro

It keeps making me restart the campaign

[velvet spruce]

Check the disc

[thorny glen]

they hate sprint because they can't relate to master chief anymore

[pastel bobcat]

How the elite with no shield feels running straight at me and then getting punched in the face

[coral yoke]

yeah that's a freezer burn if i've ever seen one

[faint mantle]

Man, this is better than the Wii Shop theme

[zinc bear]

Were the assassination animations in halo 4 mo-cap with a bit of animation or were they fully animated and no mo-cap involved?

[hasty zinc]

yeah they mocapped real assassinations for accuracy

at least the hours weren't long for that job

[deep night]

Halo infinite ruined my day again

[zinc bear]

I don’t think they were actually killing each other. I was just wondering if they were enhanced with computer animation, since most of halo 4 was done with motion capture.

Since the animations also look very realistic

[vagrant kettle]

They should’ve actually been assassinating each other
Adds a new level of realism

[cedar turret]

Not really, spinning that dude around with the grenade was a long day. And your ears hurt after

[zinc bear]

In mjolnir armor too

[coral yoke]

they look too fast to be mocapped

[vagrant kettle]

You lose 100% of the games you don’t win

[zinc bear]

Yeah that’s why I said they were either enhanced with computer animation or just fully created with animation

[coral yoke]

also the elite versions. couldn't have with those proportions anyway

[zinc bear]

True. I didn’t take the covenant ones into consideration

[deep night]

That's why it's stupid

[cedar turret]

The hulk is motion capped.

[deep night]

Matchmaking in halo is the most dumb stupidity of human evolution

[coral yoke]

what hulk?

[zinc bear]

One of halos core parts is the matchmaking since 2003
Come on now

[deep night]

Uhuh sure it is

[vagrant kettle]

THE hulk

[zinc bear]

Oh, and the forerunner ones. Like with those flying things and the dogs

[coral yoke]

...i was never told forerunners were playable now

[zinc bear]

I’m talking about halo 4

I thought you meant when you’re assassinating elites in campaign and stuff

[coral yoke]

nono i misread the question and interpreted it as every halo after odst

[zinc bear]

LMAO you’re good

[coral yoke]

speaking of, who felt the need to add an announcer callout for assassinations?

[zinc bear]

I thought it was cool

And also kinda funny

“Assassination!” Yeah man, I just did it.

[coral yoke]

personally yeah buddy, i know what i did, there was a whole animation for it and everything, i don't need it spelled out for me

[haughty cedar]

[waxen rose]

Who’s crabby?

[pastel bobcat]

I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I found a game that's better than halo 3

[random vessel]

halo reach

[pastel bobcat]

Yup

[hasty zinc]

not a high bar 😛

[dawn jasper]

No

[pastel bobcat]

Yup

Halo reach is possibly better than halo 3

[west willow]

Hot take but I think the 4 co-op Spartans in campaign evolved should be blue team in the mark V since co-op In CE Isn't cannon Might as well make it more than just 4 chiefs

[patent goblet]

Halo 3 is amazing idk what you guys are on about

The levels are fleshed out in such lovely and interesting ways the storytelling is beautiful

I think all the bungie halo games are beautiful and really creative and interesting, i adore how they design maps and just overall everything about the games. Halo 3 for me I feel was the peak of halo with the story at its most interesting and the maps fleshed out really well

[cursive sparrow]

Halo 2 had the best story halo 3 was the best ending game of any series and reach is the best prequel story anyone has attempted and peak pvp

Hey guys

If you guys were in a jungle stage in halo, would you play this song the whole time? https://youtu.be/q9V363tCcHU?si=TDv66Pz2iIaJRabv

there was a jungle level in spartan strike

halo 5's genesis missions technically also count as jungle ones

i'm on the edge of hurting people

ok how the hell do these supernatural occurrences keep happening to people?

[deep night]

figure it out

[coral yoke]

there's no way the game just does that though

i'd say check your drivers

[deep night]

the game is just full of stupid randoms with hero rank who acts like a ten yr old

[coral yoke]

i've had one time where infinite turned on HDR even though my display doesn't support it but this is on an entirely different level

[deep night]

the game should just die already

[obsidian wyvern]

get good

[coral yoke]

wait so just to clarify, you launched infinite and at some point the keyboard and mouse suddenly stopped working entirely?

Shut up

[deep night]

I. Broke. It.

[coral yoke]

okay jeez. was just under the impression that the game did that somehow

[deep night]

smh

I can't do anything in firefight and pvp cause of idiots, Idiots and IDIOTS

[obsidian wyvern]

skill issue it seems

if you're breaking your stuff over a game, you probably need to seek help

[jade gust]

Anyway, shout out to Sinners winning a few Oscars last night

[coral yoke]

that is the wrong sticker

whatever i'm keeping it here

realizing absolute cinema would've made more sense anyway

[meager linden]

Good day people of Halo

[bitter sequoia]

Why is the 25th anniversary poster kinda buns

[coral yoke]

the one on this server?

[chilly summit]

it lowkey looks ai generated

[steady jolt]

Definitely not AI

[coral yoke]

aren't there tools that can detect these sorts of thing?

can't remember what they're called

[hasty zinc]

probably, but it's not AI

also I'm not sure how accurate those things are

This scene has been gathering dust in a blend file for 5 years, finally got a chance to put it somewhere 🤣

It was Will that made it

[meager linden]

Since when the photoshop(and work related to pictures or called correctly) is now called "AI generated"?

[obsidian wyvern]

its because there were details that werent fully polished, but i guess it was a bit like concept art where stuff was just mashed together in some cases

[meager linden]

AI can't even closely generate what humans can make

[steady jolt]

Everything is AI these days, even when it's not. That's just how it seems to be working. "I don't like this" = AI

[jade gust]

To put it in a technical way, everything was too on model for it to be AI in that artwork

[obsidian wyvern]

like this piece of concept art looks weird because its just things thrown together, but its not ai

[jade gust]

But yeah, people need to be both better at recognising what is and isn't AI and knowing that calling something AI because you dislike it is not a viable way of doing things

[meager linden]

AI anyway will add everything that has not been described on prompt

[jade gust]

Good ol' photobashing is the technique they used for that Soldier. You can tell by looking at the shoulder closest to us that it's been cut out from a render of a Soldier from 5

[coral yoke]

ok that one's relatively obvious because the signs are actually coherent

[obsidian wyvern]

this was one of the first pieces of concept art they showed for infinite and way before the ai image generation thing

then they had a blog with this as the cover a few years later and people jumped to it being ai

[meager linden]

Working with a chainsaw is such a pleasure

[scarlet shoal]

I don't feel like I have good enough micro game.

[naive turret]

https://tenor.com/view/ponchita-cute-chainsaw-man-gif-26903106

[scarlet shoal]

My processing speed is way too slow.

My working memory is garbage too.

How do I do the micro game if these suck.

My inductive reasoning is good.

[jade gust]

Why does the chainsaw have a mouth?

[scarlet shoal]

But I feel like I can't think fast enough. So I always silly mistakes even if I react fast enough.

[obsidian wyvern]

the chainsaw also has a heart

[scarlet shoal]

Can someone help?

[naive turret]

He’s just a lil’ guy

[robust salmon]

ts thing looks so cute its like a cat with a chainsaw in its head

[naive turret]

I feel like I do this too, if I ever find a solution I'll share it

[trim saddle]

[small mauve]

So now I beat halo 3 on xbox 360, and idk when exactly my copies of odst and reach are gonna come so... not sure what ima do till then 😐

[muted rose]

Ai’s purpose is to deceive. Cut through all the buzzwords and hype phrases, and at the end of the day it’s made to trick people, in one way or another. I don’t blame people for being paranoid about it at this point

[meager linden]

Honestly, I'm not against AI
But if you want to share your creativity with using AI, you should label it

[robust salmon]

why is he telling the truth?

[muted rose]

Would you say you used AI on an assignment? If the answer is no, then your using AI for its purpose

[signal wedge]

I use chat gpt to help me translate

[jade gust]

But does he need feeding? What do we feed him? Do we have to feed him petrol so he can go about his lil' chainsawing day?

[naive turret]

He likes bread iirc

How do you spell it? Pochita?

[silk hare]

RIP

Ok, he can stay. Bread is good

I finally got my nephew into playing halo, but he can not log into halowaypoint.
He always gets an authentication error. Any Idea on how to fix this?
We already tried the usual stuff, but clearing cache and cookies, using a mobile browser and incognito mode all didn't help.

[steady jolt]

Seems to be a known issue at the moment for some users, it's being looked into. Hopefully it will be resolved soon

[forest turtle]

ok, do you think it's woth collecting twitch drops or will they most likel, time out?

He likes some of the stuff I got there

[steady jolt]

You need to make sure and be synced up with Waypoint first or drops won't work correctly, as far as I remember

[forest turtle]

Ok, thanks for the info.

[analog knot]

If you happen to be from the UK, I know the AgeVerification they rolled out blocks access to MCC, I wonder if it also impacts Waypoint? If you arent from the UK you can ignore 😄

[forest turtle]

No we both live in switzerland

[analog knot]

Its been a mixed bag as stckr mentioned, good luck with it; usually it resolves with time

[forest turtle]

And my login work since years...

I hope so

[obsidian wyvern]

i wanna go back to switzerland so badly

[meager linden]

Try to log to infinite from the Xbox app on PC, not from Steam(sometimes it has issues with logging)

[hasty zinc]

thunder already started

today should be fun

[meager linden]

Mid of March and already thunder
I'm just hoping for a warm day

[faint mantle]

Thank you Microsoft for reminding me there is one device left I need to install Linux on

[faint mantle]

Wade you should get a job with the national football team

They'll play the world cup at my city

[hearty flame]

I thought Waypoint was defunct?

[hasty zinc]

no

just the forums

[indigo lotus]

The Waypoint forums were shutdown about three years ago. Waypoint is still used to check game stats and weekly updates on upcoming events or future games.

[faint mantle]

Guilty as charged

Did you see it was mentioned in the chunk of text I sent in modmail?

[meager linden]

Nah, I'm bad at football

[faint mantle]

You can still offer your brain

[frozen snow]

halo support still down?

[frozen snow]

ah yeah im still having issues

[untold magnet]

found out Williams C dietz had passed away

[steady jolt]

Yeah, seen that yesterday

[untold magnet]

rest of 2026 is gonna be horrendus if it goes on like this

[waxen rose]

Hooray my halo 2 shirt comes Friday

[steady jolt]

[waxen rose]

It has arbiters beautiful face on it

[meager linden]

https://tenor.com/view/titanfall3-apex-legends-gif-13433539

[chilly summit]

I paused my halo 2 to be here

[waxen rose]

Correct

[dawn jasper]

im finally gettting the 2007 halo 3 masterchief helmet display piece

im so excited

[chilly summit]

how much do one of those go for nowadays?

[jade gust]

Welcome to the club of people with a Halo helmet

Technically the one I have isn't Master Chief anymore but that's because my former friend painted it in the colours of Agent Washington

[chilly summit]

i have an olive green paintball mask with a gold visor does that count

[meager linden]

Good evening people of Halo

[forest turtle]

Doing that, not using steam

[forest turtle]

Android is Linux too.....

[dawn jasper]

thanks

[dawn jasper]

im getting mine for 85 bucks

[chilly summit]

oh that's awesome,thought that would be in the hundreds lol

[hasty zinc]

I'm aware

[dawn jasper]

it usually is, thats why im so stoked

[muted rose]

I got a death trooper helmet but no halo helmets

[chilly summit]

got yourself a great deal there frfr

[dawn jasper]

yea, and im gonna make sure to inspect for damage before buying js to make sure, but if its alright its a huge steal

[chilly summit]

good call

[dawn jasper]

yea but if thers some scratches i probably wont care

saving 100$ is saving 100$

[waxen rose]

I got mine for 110

[chilly summit]

adds to it

[chilly summit]

nice

[vestal nimbus]

Which halo game would you spend 24 hours in?

[obsidian wyvern]

like live in or

[hasty zinc]

like playing or living in

[vestal nimbus]

Playing

[hasty zinc]

none

24hr is way too long

[vestal nimbus]

I,m more talking about if you were teleported into the halo game. Which I guess means living so I,m rephrasing it

[meager linden]

Infinite for 100%

[naive turret]

I mean, do I get to choose where in the game I'm teleported and at what point

[hasty zinc]

Infinite, put me on Dosiac

[naive turret]

I could spent a day in the Delta Halo ruins

[vestal nimbus]

Yes

[viral dune]

🍿🍿🍿🍿

[meager linden]

Zeta Halo my fav🫂

[naive turret]

I'm trying to think of a place that'd actually be safe for a full day after it first shows up in the game

[meager linden]

Earth, Moon or Mars

[obsidian wyvern]

earth when lol

[naive turret]

tfw Mombasa is very much invaded (twice in quick succession) and undergoes an in-atmo slipspace rupture

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 2 instantly gets attacked, halo 3 and odst its under attack

halo infinite mentions it being attacked

[vestal nimbus]

And you can't pick halo reach obviously

[viral dune]

Your house gets invaded actually

[naive turret]

I guess if MP maps can be brought in, there's a bunch of places that aren't actively under threat.

Harvest in H4 seems nice.

[viral dune]

Cuz of that multiplayer intro cutscene, wasn't it set in London

[obsidian wyvern]

isnt harvest the first planet to get attacked by the covenant

[obsidian wyvern]

seemingly

[naive turret]

Yeah but it seems alright at that point

[naive turret]

It was actually the King's Row map from Overwatch

[viral dune]

I'm gonna go smack you

[meager linden]

I know only a few planets from Halo lol
Reach, Harvest, Earth and Mars lol
Others have been mentioned in books, and lazy to learn

[obsidian wyvern]

meridia

[viral dune]

The absolute safest planet in all of halo is seaward

[obsidian wyvern]

do you think poland exists

[viral dune]

Well of course it does

I just hope Poland is safe in the 2550s or whenever infinite takes place lol

[naive turret]

Arcadia always stood out to me, idk why.

[viral dune]

What

[naive turret]

That is where you have to save Adam which was a weird coincidence.

Really difficult too.

[viral dune]

Arcadia reminds me of super earth cities

[meager linden]

Imagine if Halo 4 would have the promethean hunters, the size same as hunters and hp as promethean knight, and it has no weak points, like regular hunters. What would you do?

[viral dune]

I'd play halo 3

TRUE

Stupid embed fail

Mr boss…

[waxen rose]

They are NOT friends

[viral dune]

https://tenor.com/view/master-chief-doomguy-check-brotha-halo-gif-27128201

[dawn jasper]

they probably would be

[naive turret]

If only it wasn't the worst Chief design, ah well
