[tame glacier]

what is a friend request

[zinc bear]

do you know what a friend is

[naive turret]

Best to just ignore it.

[tame glacier]

[naive turret]

Very funny Ick I chortled.

[viral dune]

Hi , I'm Icky Spartan

[coral yoke]

[naive turret]

listen, listen. It was Cursed Halo, shenanigans were gonna happen

[viral dune]

The crash tool gun was pretty funny though

[zinc bear]

tool gun can crash the game?

[naive turret]

The fact I got baited with it into 'ohh we made it'

[tame glacier]

i love partaking in shenanigans

[naive turret]

And then UE4 error lmao

[coral yoke]

there's a tool gun specifically designed to do so

[tame glacier]

and tomfoolery

[viral dune]

Yeah

[zinc bear]

didnt know that
im halfway through my cursed halo playthrough rn

[naive turret]

Me and Ick beat it in the Reliant Hog didn't we Ick

[zinc bear]

why are all of your photos watermarked

[viral dune]

It's pretty good to drive actually

[coral yoke]

now do it in the upside down hog

[naive turret]

d'you know I did try

[tame glacier]

[viral dune]

For fun

The ability to embed and upload images is disabled by default. This privilege is granted to users who have the Inheritor role, which is automatically assigned by our bot based on various factors. Stick around, be active, keep it clean!

[tame glacier]

damn

[zinc bear]

i had that inheritor command on standby as soon as you deleted that gif

[viral dune]

Why did u get stuck in the sky tho

Is there a barrier

[tame glacier]

?

[obsidian wyvern]

im gonna take credit for bringing back that watermark

[viral dune]

What did you do I can't remember

[zinc bear]

theres a command to send the inheritor requirements. i already typed it in as soon as you deleted that gif, cause i knew you were gonna ask that.

[obsidian wyvern]

forced u to bring the watermark back lol

[viral dune]

But how

[zinc bear]

But how

[tame glacier]

oh lol

[obsidian wyvern]

ive just got a convincing voice or smthn

[tame glacier]

what various factors

[zinc bear]

stick around be active keep it clean

[viral dune]

True your voice is really good to listen to

[zinc bear]

my voice is more convincing

[obsidian wyvern]

[obsidian wyvern]

i was talking about this bro

[zinc bear]

bro there was a cuss word delete that

[slim radish]

Hello I just bought the master chief collection and I was wondering what order I should play in
Is this the right place to ask?

[viral dune]

Don't use curse words guys

[obsidian wyvern]

my clip isnt even loading to verify

[viral dune]

There actually is lol

[zinc bear]

[obsidian wyvern]

[tame glacier]

[zinc bear]

release order

[viral dune]

Release order

[tame glacier]

https://giphy.com/gifs/liar-lie-misinformation-7PxuiRgTZG9H1B1vW7

[slim radish]

Yeah I came here because there was conflicting stuff on redit but it seems the same here😭

[tame glacier]

damn i forgot i cant send gifs

[zinc bear]

chronological order is bad for a first playthrough since its a huge gameplay jump from reach to ce

[obsidian wyvern]

ok im pretty sure discord videos taken at high frame rates dont play on my second monitor at 60fps. the moment i move it to my main it just works

[zinc bear]

my second monitor is 60 hz and it played fine on mine

[naive turret]

I thought this was another chat for a second there and panicked

[slim radish]

So that would be
Halo 2:Anniversary edition right?

or Halo CE: Anniversary edition?

[tame glacier]

sorry for spreading misinformation and lies

[zinc bear]

start with CE and make your way down. once you beat ODST, go to reach and then 4 and continue with 5 and infinite

[viral dune]

Halo ce first, then halo 2, 3, ODST, reach then 4

[slim radish]

alr thanks

[obsidian wyvern]

idk me and osky always have a problem with videos on discord

[slim radish]

Im doing heroic wish much luck

[zinc bear]

ask chatgpt

[tame glacier]

what is the best halo game

[obsidian wyvern]

too much effort

[zinc bear]

youre like the humans from WALL-E

[viral dune]

3

[obsidian wyvern]

guy who told me to ask gpt

[coral yoke]

the one that's the best

[naive turret]

A thing I've found apparently Rev, Steam renders out to H.265 by default, which can cause issues with Discord playback
So you wanna switch to H.264 and that should solve it

[zinc bear]

i was making fun of you since you used chatgpt before to fix your computer

[obsidian wyvern]

and it worked, crazy right 😱

[zinc bear]

4

[naive turret]

why do we lieeeee

[obsidian wyvern]

and googling for a few hours or something didnt work, crazy right 😱

[zinc bear]

not having this debate again since you clearly just want to argue lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

you have no point you can prove lol

[zinc bear]

anyways
4 is the best halo, mokler10. anyone who disagrees is a follower of the covenant

[tame glacier]

noted.

[naive turret]

Praise to the Prophets ig

[coral yoke]

i am literally a follower of the covenant dude

[viral dune]

[viral dune]

Yeah I got unlimited data for 2 hours 4 hours ago

[zinc bear]

[zinc bear]

How is it working

[obsidian wyvern]

[viral dune]

When I go back to uni I'll get more data

[zinc bear]

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean so why buy unlimited if ur at home

[viral dune]

Not good cuz the 2 hrs ended 😂

[zinc bear]

that’s all you need to do

[zinc bear]

he could’ve been out and about

[viral dune]

I may have been talking to Poland while at the gym

[zinc bear]

I was correct

[obsidian wyvern]

is there not a cheaper option under unlimited

[viral dune]

No loo

[obsidian wyvern]

what lmfao

[zinc bear]

Poland deserves unlimited data dude you don’t get it

[obsidian wyvern]

i was thinking this is another stupid monetary choice of yours but i guess not

[viral dune]

It's either 15 pesos for 2 hrs or 25 pesos for 4 hours

[zinc bear]

how much is 15 pesos in amurican

[thick furnace]

4 and 5 😼

[zinc bear]

so I could go to Mexico with 0.8592 dollar and buy 15 things

[viral dune]

Maybe

[zinc bear]

[zinc bear]

He is an amazing doctor. That’s like the entire point of the show

[waxen rose]

The show good doctor? Bad doctor. Both of them. Bad. Evil

[zinc bear]

He’s a bad guy but he’s still an amazing doctor. That’s the only reason why cuddy keeps him there

[waxen rose]

He “cured” someone's asexuality

[zinc bear]

[waxen rose]

If I go into a coma and I wake up and my personal care physician is named house I am jumping out and mauling him

Well, time is a made up concept so you can argue that you still have plenty of time

[chilly summit]

have you not checked your phone or anything else that tells the time in the last 2 hours

[zinc bear]

Your shelf needs stickers on it

[obsidian wyvern]

My nickname growing up was slim shady so this gave me flashbacks

My dad called me slim shady because the only thing that would get me to fall asleep was eminem

[chilly summit]

lol my brother used to call me that whenever i wore a beanie

[coral yoke]

i think you're looking for #1076327824924872755

[chilly summit]

is eminem's music that buns

[obsidian wyvern]

that crewmate isnt even mine

[misty marsh]

My dad called himself slim shady cause he thought he was that guy

[zinc bear]

my parents call me slim shady cause i bleached my hair

[waxen rose]

Your mom hates slim shady and made me cry

[pulsar heron]

please share your original content in #1076327824924872755 !

[coral yoke]

i'm shady. i'm somewhat slim.

...oh no

[chilly summit]

just remembered my mum's eminem phase when she bought a curtain call cd and would play it in the car all the time

[pulsar heron]

my mother gets easily duped by stan and thank you. she always thinks one is the other

[chilly summit]

lol

[pulsar heron]

i dont consider myself an eminem fan by a mile, but i do think stan is a really good song honestly

[chilly summit]

i grew up on eminem mostly lol

[misty marsh]

Did bleaching ur hair improve ur rapping skills

[chilly summit]

don't really listen to him as much as i used to tho

[zinc bear]

i dont rap

so nothing was improved

[misty marsh]

My household was either bollywood from my mum or backstreet boys from my dad

[zinc bear]

peak lmao

[misty marsh]

Yk like those stories where people hit their heads and suddenly they're grade 8 on the piano

What if bleaching ur hair did smth but you have tried rapping to know yet

[chilly summit]

[zinc bear]

I tried to be a rapper when I was like 12

I still have the email that I use to this day

[chilly summit]

[zinc bear]

Was about to say peak until I saw your profile picture

[waxen rose]

I had to negate the halo 3 slop with halo 2 perfection

[gleaming hamlet]

thanks

[ancient totem]

Hey

[zinc bear]

Halo 3 shows up a few times in that animation you sent bro

[waxen rose]

Shhhh

Just stare at the squishmallow chief arby

[ancient totem]

Ive been playing odst firefight as master chief.

And imagining playing reach.

And will eventually play reach .

[ancient totem]

Covenant dance

[waxen rose]

I imagined playing reach once when I was asleep
It was a nightmare

[ancient totem]

I had a nightmare about how fast the flood spreads. It spreads faster then can run. The smallest underestimate and its spreads faster.

Your profile picture looks nice bro. Its sparkly and all.

Honestly I dont think i have a lot of nightmares about halo.

But I have some crazy nightmares. About that game war and order i play

I had a dream that there was a helicopter in a field. And the sky was read and everything . Brick wall and walls of vegetation. The helicopter exploded. And the whole world was consumed by fire. Then I woke up.

[zinc bear]

I had a dream where I had so many friends and ice cream and we played with legos and ate ice cream together but then I got a stomach ache and woke up

[ancient totem]

Lol

One time at church. I drank to much lemonade. I got stomach ach and had to lie down on the floor. Hoping some of the cold air touches the bottom of my stomach.

[pulsar heron]

i had a book where the main character is in a shopping mall and bad things keep happening that he keeps causing and then his shoelace gets stuck in the escalator and it catches fire so he pees on it to fix the problem and then he wakes up because it was all a dream but his bedroom is straight up flooded. is that anything

[zinc bear]

That’s fire
I made mine up I don’t really remember my dreams

[ancient totem]

I think you were in one of my dreams. I had a few dreams about this halo chat already.

Not exactly good dreams. But most dreams I have are not good.

[zinc bear]

I’ve dreamt of the server members here. Specifically freak, Kitso, rev, icky and spork I think??
Sometimes I do when I’m active right before bed

[ancient totem]

I dont know

I think there generally people i never seen before. But it is of here

[candid tusk]

Nightmare mode activated I guess. 😔

[ancient totem]

Just weird dreams . Not nightmare or dream

But everyone is different. Everyone has their own way of experiencing things.

[waxen rose]

You’ve been in my dreams 3 times

[zinc bear]

As a monster?

[waxen rose]

No like. Talking to me in my living room

[ancient totem]

If your in each other's dreams a lot you like each other

[zinc bear]

Oh yeah you told me that one

[hasty zinc]

[ancient totem]

Because people you dont like. You try to forget abd stay away from

[hasty zinc]

were it so easy

[zinc bear]

I’m too much of a hater to forget the people I hate

[ancient totem]

Yeah. It makes sense. Because you dont eant to be around people you dont like.

[zinc bear]

Yeah, no.

[ancient totem]

Lol. Innocent denial

[waxen rose]

I get anxious when I drive my car alone so I printed out a picture of your face and stick it to a stuffed animal that sits in my back seat /j

[zinc bear]

Oh boy

[ancient totem]

You dont know what its like to hate someone

[hasty zinc]

I think I have told you before
I remember you guys all in suits in a very dark space

[misty marsh]

It does not sound familiar

[zinc bear]

Oh ok

[misty marsh]

Why were we in suits in a dark space that's kinda ominous

[waxen rose]

We were men in black

[zinc bear]

Idk

[misty marsh]

Yay ok I'll be will smith

[zinc bear]

What about the other

[misty marsh]

Tommy Lee Jones is up for grabs

[waxen rose]

I still dream about my ex from 5 years ago
Does that mean I still love him
No

[misty marsh]

I won't lie I don't think I've ever seen him outside the mib films

[zinc bear]

I dream about my dad
Does that mean I still love him
No

[zinc bear]

I’ve never watched men in black

Is that like a British thing

[misty marsh]

Get off discord and go see it right now

[ancient totem]

I mean. Normally when I dream about someone. Its someone i really want to see. I dream about my best friend and all the adventures we used to go on

I dont have dreams about people I dont want to see.

[zinc bear]

No

[zinc bear]

Not everyone has the same brain bro

[misty marsh]

Dreams cast people just for the hell of it man, once you see a face ur brain registers it and then it shows up as a cameo in a dream and maybe even a main role of they're significant beyond their face

[ancient totem]

I know .

[misty marsh]

🤬🤬

[ancient totem]

But it would only make sense that you would try to stay away from people you dont want to see.

[waxen rose]

I dream about ways I can sabotage dareals halo 4 4v4s

[ancient totem]

Id imagine its a natural defense mechanism

[misty marsh]

Why cap it at dreaming

[zinc bear]

Bros got cameos in his dreams

Sorry that word just sounds funny

[ancient totem]

But when I have a nightmare. Its not usually of people. And honestly im not sure what they mean

[waxen rose]

I do it irl instead

[misty marsh]

Theres this random guy on campus I always walk past and he has a comically large briefcase and now him and his briefcase walk past me in my dreams

Well I’m angry cause I might be sick and might not be able to go to prom tomorrow so let’s fight

[misty marsh]

ME TOO

Mines not prom tho it's some award ceremony but my nose keeps getting blocked and burns a little sometimes too

[waxen rose]

Im angry because all my sketches of my halo oc look terrible
(probably bc im at work standing in the freezing cold)

[candid tusk]

Dry them before class.

[cedar turret]

Wear them wet

[waxen rose]

Wear the wet jeans

[faint mantle]

I'm angry because today I said I wouldn't work as hard because of the rest of the week, and I'm still using my work MacBook.

I want to break free

[waxen rose]

Like the song

[misty marsh]

Theyre in the laundry basket, they haven't even made it to the washing machine yet

ok i know destiny is advertised as more or less the same genre but it feels more like just an mmo action rpg to me

(this totally isn't just me relying on a glaive, a regen field and a dream)

[naive turret]

TRUE

[obsidian wyvern]

bro i made that gif mid run LOL

im out here

[grim shore]

this looks like that one Love Death and Robots episode

[faint mantle]

I should upgrade the damage

[grim shore]

the one about the killer who kept getting caught because he kept trying to kill a witness or whatever

[hasty zinc]

@faint mantle have you had this before?

[faint mantle]

Yeah

You have one of those in your corner of the States?!

[hasty zinc]

yee

bro it's so good omg

I almost teared up

LET'S GO

[vagrant kettle]

[small mauve]

Is it ok if I skip halo wars 2 for now and go right to infinite?

[meager linden]

Good morning people of Halo

[small mauve]

Wade?

[meager linden]

It's your choice
I played infinite first, because I didn't know about other games

But yeah, HW2 it's the first game when you learn about banished for the first time

In chronological order, Halo Wars 2 happening before infinite

[coral yoke]

i personally skipped both halo wars games because i just can't play another rts after the incident

[small mauve]

What incident

[meager linden]

I love rts games, especially StarCraft 2

[coral yoke]

it's just an inside thing. nothing to do with microsoft or 343i, as not surprised as i'd be if it was

[signal wedge]

why does your Halo look so different

[zinc bear]

@obsidian wyvern i take back everything negative i have said about this game

[obsidian wyvern]

that quickly?

[zinc bear]

just completed my first run. killed no one except bots and i died to a turret lol

[zinc bear]

it is genuinely so fun
i did take some lessons about the game on youtube while it installed so i knew what to do

my only issue with this game is the UI. everything being blocky makes it a little confusing during navigation but thats like the entire art style of the game so i just gotta deal

im playing as vandal rn

[obsidian wyvern]

u on kbm or controller

[zinc bear]

Controller

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I've heard everyone on controller has an issue with the ui

[zinc bear]

Oh another issue I wish I could set my aiming to toggle aim where I only press it once since I like to use recon controls in every game I play

[zinc bear]

Oh I don’t have issues navigating it, I navigate it with my mouse and keyboard since I’m on PC. I just have issues with it visually.

[obsidian wyvern]

fair, you get used to it

[zinc bear]

I also like how the game is very straightforward and hard

Arc raiders I feel is little more of a friendly PvE focused game than Marathon is. Marathon is very “you are going to die no one will help you” type of game which I like

Obviously there are some friendlies but I feel like arc raiders was too friendly

[zinc bear]

@naive turret marathon is peak

I’m spreading this news everywhere because I was the biggest marathon hater of 2026

[small mauve]

3 more missions and the main campaign of halo wars 2 is done

Are the dlc campaigns canon tho btw?

[placid karma]

hola

[zinc bear]

BT 💖💖

[placid karma]

how did ONE message get me 2 hearts bro

[waxen rose]

Evil

[zinc bear]

Cause I love BT

[small mauve]

Like, are those important to the lore and such

[faint mantle]

@glad crystal sorry, can't do sales here

[glad crystal]

I’m sorry didn’t know I haven’t been on the server in awhile

Plus was looking in the rules and maybe I scrolled over it so won’t happen again

[meager linden]

BT-7274😢

[meager linden]

I still can't believe it's already 1st May

[chilly summit]

True

[signal wedge]

Mayyyyyy

[chilly summit]

summer gets ever so closer

lowkey feel like i might throw up

[granite sky]

BLEH

[chilly summit]

spacestation gaming chain goes hard

[hoary crow]

I held this dude irl

[meager linden]

[scenic latch]

Guys

Does Master Chief eat cereal?

[meager linden]

Idk

[empty lance]

who doesn’t eat cereal

[meager linden]

Good May day people of Halo

[silk hare]

Wort

[dim anchor]

Wort

By the combat evolved...

[obsidian wyvern]

does it really need that much though lol

[vagrant kettle]

Do people even need to carry around 5 needohs every day?

Such a stupid trend

[coral yoke]

the hell is a needoh

[obsidian wyvern]

[vagrant kettle]

Some kinda non newtonian stress squishy

[coral yoke]

oh i see

[coral yoke]

...why did google have to tell me not to microwave one.

don't tell me people are this dumb

i mean i know people are this dumb but like

[chilly summit]

too hot out here

I got myself a magnum icecream tho so im chillin

[celest trellis]

@dusk dune can you add me back. This is my new discord account

[jade gust]

You know how most things have warning labels to make sure someone doesn't do something dumb like stick a hand into the machine which will very obviously crush your hand? Those labels are usually added after someone has stuck their hand into the machine which will very obviously crush their hand

It's also part of why we've ended up seeing yellow paint and similar being used to guide people in games

[obsidian wyvern]

rip

[obsidian wyvern]

the past month has been weird with having freezing winds but being somewhat hot

[jade gust]

It's been messing with me a bunch. Thankfully not taken me out of action completely though

[normal owl]

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/04/30/xbox-mode-pc-windows-11/

[modest cobalt]

Heyo

[haughty wraith]

Did you hit Halo 4 chief or something

[obsidian wyvern]

its even weirder because my rooms always cold 🥴

im not entirely complaining though, can deal with that better than the heat

[analog knot]

Oh its going to be awesome how seamless this is with definitely no problems

(it does sound interesting)

[normal owl]

That is why I stick with the OG Xbox Mode: a console.

[undone seal]

Sounds abt right

[pulsar heron]

for real, i keep getting caught out by the winds. the other day i had to take my hat and lanyard off and shove them in my bag because the wind was gonna snatch them off me

[pulsar heron]

so, metro ui but more reasonable/widely purposeful? steam big screen for xbox games? interesting

speaking of the heat/weather actually, my boiler's been off for at least 12 hours so i just came up to restart it and it's internal temperature was 28°c the loft is crazy hot too

you'd think the heat would be helping it light, but it's not

[meager linden]

Good evening people of Halo

[pulsar heron]

wasnt there a rumour about that like a decade ago

[pulsar heron]

hi wade !!!

[meager linden]

Hello there

[south ferry]

Just getting it turned on is hard enough right now

[digital garden]

I kinda feel bad playing MCC MP bc im always dragging the team straight down

[normal owl]

Glad you're playing it! Never feel bad about that: these are video games, which are 100% recreational activities. As long as you're having fun and being civil, no one has the right to judge you on a performance review. Hope it's giving you a great way to unwind.

[naive turret]

I definitely get that sense of being a liability too lol

But you don’t improve without trying so keep at it

[analog knot]

As long as you arent AFK and are trying your best than anyone who gets upset with you can get over it

[digital garden]

To be fair, Its probably natural im much worse than the guy has been playing halo for years now, not weeks

might also partially be bc im getting American servers

[naive turret]

Exactly, you’re gonna run into people with over a decade of experience, sometimes two depending on the game

[analog knot]

I do not remember how many games of MCC I've played but I can very easily tell someones skill level w/ the game and if anyone trashes a new player its because they themselves are a trash person

Anyway happy to play together sometime @digital garden, what have you been playing in MP?

[digital garden]

Halo 3 and Reach firefight, Team Slayer, CTF and such

4v4 team battles

on European servers now bc American servers wont even let me get in.

[analog knot]

Ooh this is curious what does this mean

[digital garden]

Simple, I get a match hosted on American servers, it loads extremely slowly and im just kicked for connection interruption

My Wifi isnt bad, so im guessing its ping.

[analog knot]

Next time it happens check what map it is

If its Halo 3 players are probably deleting the map in question which makes it do that

[south ferry]

Can always get better!
Have checked out Halorecord.com
,

[digital garden]

I wish Halo MCC cosmetics werent so all over the place in the catalogue.

Reach at least has its own Pack or whatever its called, for the others the pieces are strewn about

[analog knot]

They were more organized when the seasons were going on. As games were added to the PC release they had their own season and the cosmetics were pretty neat (thats why you see them grouped in the first several seasons in the catalog). Later on it got a little wild. Especially with the addition of the exchange which kind of became a bit of everything

[jade gust]

Yeah, it's definitely a bit messy these days

[obsidian wyvern]

the exchange ui in itself is hell

[analog knot]

------------> -------------------> ----------------->

<---------- <----------------- <-------------------

Oh wait its back over to the right -------------------->

[naive turret]

It’s probably not feasible now but I wish you could just unlock everything from the customization menu

[chilly summit]

that would be so convenient

[naive turret]

It’d save so much hassle having to navigate to where stuff is

[chilly summit]

infinite does it already hopefully it remains in the next game atleast

[meager linden]

Did I miss something important?

[south ferry]

I finally unlocked an animated visor

[analog knot]

https://ibb.co/RGKFYF3T For some reason my tag test is split screen. Huh

There are probably more that you dont even know about that you dont have 😄

Nope

[hexed wyvern]

hello

[analog knot]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2069587889 has them all, shoutout to Okom for the list. There are 547. Some of them even Halo Studios doesnt know how to unlock anymore. And some arent unlockable at all. I have 492 total in my list, what does yours show @fleet ice

[hexed wyvern]

any tips on the jega rdomnai boss fight

[meager linden]

Use motion tracker from Spartan Griffin and use grapple hook to evade his attacks

And EMP grenades good for stunning him, even for a few seconds

[hexed wyvern]

alright Ty

[digital garden]

I wonder if Halo 3 Will ever get a graphics update

[meager linden]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[naive turret]

It did, unless you mean an Anni edition in which case that’s really unlikely

[analog knot]

There are some you can only get from grassroots events. There was one only from the microsoft store in person tournaments like 10 years ago. The list goes on. I dont think its possible for anyone to have them all tbh

I thought it would be cool if there was anything unique about the max level, but turns out the last 30 levels are all the same icon etc

[oak hemlock]

Are ya'll getting the Steam controller when it releases?

[naive turret]

Nah

[obsidian wyvern]

dont see a reason to tbh

[digital garden]

Maybe. I do need a good PC controller (Nintendo one is annoying), but its also hella expensive.

[quaint canyon]

Theres a longer gap in the halo timeline between Halo Wars to CE than there is between Halo Reach to Infinite which is crazy

[oak hemlock]

The Switch 2 Pro controller doesn't work with PC. Believe me, I tried

[candid tusk]

Xbox Series controller works perfectly on PC.

[hasty zinc]

it does

steam even supports it officially

[oak hemlock]

Fr? I need to look it up

[zinc bear]

It is may 1st.

[normal owl]

officially in the 2nd third of 2026

[meager linden]

In July of 15th it will be exactly the 50% of 2026

[candid tusk]

Wrong.

I'm not gonna spoil it, but try again.

[pliant hatch]

mayday mayday

[zinc bear]

payday payday

[pulsar heron]

you mean pan pan

[zinc bear]

pans are nice
also, hi tora.

[pulsar heron]

hi dareal

pan pan is an actual aviation term btw, it's an urgent announcement but not life threatening

[faint mantle]

https://youtu.be/q6r4dOD65wU?t=13

[zinc bear]

ohh ok

[zinc bear]

hot OJ

[viral dune]

I see dareal has been infected by marathon

[zinc bear]

marathon is so peak i had to make it my pfp after 2 hours of gameplay

[viral dune]

What did u do in those 2 hours

[zinc bear]

die alot

i didnt exfil once

[viral dune]

😂😂😂😂

[naive turret]

Don’t think I’ve seen such a complete 180

[viral dune]

Also yeah

[zinc bear]

i cant believe i hated this game

cant wait to make this my entire personality

[viral dune]

It'll be like hot oj and Poland to me

But marathon

[zinc bear]

if only you had the game

[viral dune]

Yeah man I sure wish I could get it soon

[naive turret]

btw Ick are you still free for Wars later

So we can save Adam this time

[viral dune]

Oh for sure I'm not going to the gym today so in 1-2 hours I can play

[naive turret]

That’s perfect

[viral dune]

[zinc bear]

you should buy marathon instead so me you and poland can run trios

[viral dune]

Poland still doesn't have a PC/console 😔😔😔😔

[naive turret]

And remember we’ll need three Generators

[viral dune]

What generators

https://tenor.com/view/can-generator-how-coke-coke-in-can-reverse-video-gif-17761449

[zinc bear]

marathon generator

[viral dune]

Poland generator

[zinc bear]

california generator

[meager linden]

What happened to your OG pfp?

[zinc bear]

marathon took over my life

[jade gust]

Don't forget to frog blast the vent cores

[candid tusk]

Are there even vent cores to frog blast in the new Marathon?

[meager linden]

Good night people of Halo

[candid tusk]

Dodging your calendar math obligations I see.

Good night, Wade.

[tranquil wedge]

Is Infinate dead? Took me 10 minutes to find a game yesterday.

[zinc bear]

Idk but infinate but infinite isn’t dead, it’s just not as active on the less popular modes.

[thick furnace]

i am from the year 3500
arbiter solo game has been canceled in place for a brand new halo ce remaster

[ocean herald]

It’s good

Just gotta get over the learning curve. You reach a stage where you’re not fighting for your life every single time

[naive turret]

I look forward to it

Honestly it felt a bit horror like for a game there when I never really encountered anyone until that last second

[ocean herald]

Yeah it can get frightening when you think you have it made and someone sweeps in

Some people do play kinda scummy by camping exfils and whatnot, but you also start to learn those behaviors

[naive turret]

I meant to ask at some point, you know dcon’s, do they beam stuff back to your vault

[ocean herald]

Nah

Just used to drop stuff off for contracts

[naive turret]

ahh okay

[ocean herald]

What level are you now?

[digital garden]

Im currently playing the Halo 3 campaign. is it just me or is the Friendly AI much worse than in Halo 2?

vehicle sections are very annoying because the drivers seemingly got 0 sense of direction

[naive turret]

It’s a placebo effect, they’re useless in H2 for the most part as well there’s just a few sequences where they’re scripted

[naive turret]

I think I’m lvl 10 with CyAc now

Haven’t played a whole lot tbf

[digital garden]

well... thats nice.
I just got out of the vehicle for like 20 seconds to take out a tank, and my driver decided to ditch me.

[hasty zinc]

rekt

https://tenor.com/xrFq.gif

your driver

[digital garden]

WELP hes getting sent to a Court Martial

I dont care that he has a family

[digital garden]

|| Did Cortana being left behind make Master chief that much weaker? I swear in Halo 3 he feels so much weaker than in 2. ||

I dont care anymore

I died a little too often, I want every non Human in the halo universe to brutally die

Every single one.
Any covenant race does not deserve existence, for they are hostis humani generis

especially the brutes and insects

[naive turret]

mmm, mmm

[digital garden]

Does anyone know how to actually fight against a gravity hammer?

to me it seems like that dude can eat buckshot all morning and still smack me

[exotic locust]

Is halo 5 worth getting for $5? I got a $5 gift card from rewards points and I was thinking of getting halo 5 since it's on sale right now

I just didn't know if it was worth it since I heard the story is not that good.

[jade gust]

Story has issues, but the campaign gameplay itself is pretty fun. Also has some fantastic level design which I think people forget due to being so focused on hating on the story

[granite sky]

it was pretty cool $5 is worth it i think

[coral yoke]

i'm not even sure. not only is direct contact lethal but for some ungodly reason the shockwave also seems to instakill

[jade gust]

||Chief is not weaker in 3 than he was in 2. Pretty sure the shield and health values in Halo 3 are better than those in Halo 2||

[naive turret]

Plasma Pistol overcharge and a couple of headshots. Or bait their swing and back-smack them.
They move very predictably.

[digital garden]

just saying, wouldnt any radical xenophobe in the halo universe be absolutely justified?

[coral yoke]

no what the hell

[digital garden]

just saying, almost all advanced alien life we made contact with tried wiping us out.

[naive turret]

With a few other qualifications you'd get hired at ONI probably.

[digital garden]

Look, its like a comparison, I have a ton of reasons to HATE the covenant, and basically none to like the covenant races.

[jade gust]

Genocide is not the answer to genocide

[naive turret]

You'd like Warhammer Sven. Where it absolutely is the answer.

[digital garden]

Wait, I never talked about genocide.

all im saying is, dont let em anywhere near human colonies or earth

[jade gust]

Like, the Covenant shouldn't have tried wiping out humanity, that much is true. But the circumstances surrounding why they did attempt to do so are complex and messy and involve mistranslations

[coral yoke]

tried wiping us out

[naive turret]

This is perhaps getting into paralels with uncomfortable real world talk so maybe shift it to gameplay or smth.

[jade gust]

Calling for all the Covenant member species to be wiped out is calling for genocide

[digital garden]

Never talked about genociding them*

[jade gust]

Anyway, SMGs are fun

Hope we see one in Halo 7 and Campaign Evolved

[digital garden]

true, got a bit carried away there.
ONE of them should be eliminated though, those weird bug things.

[naive turret]

As long as I'm not forced to start with them

[jade gust]

Maybe on select missions, but not on all of them

[digital garden]

(I just REALLY dislike violent insects)

[exotic locust]

I might get it then, thanks :3

[digital garden]

I know of warhammer, I also know humanity in Warhammer is very hard to justify their actions.
In the halo universe? at least theres a damn good reason for hating all covenant races.

[jade gust]

Hope you enjoy!

[normal owl]

Take this to #lore-and-universe please.

[digital garden]

aight, sorry.

[exotic locust]

Thank youuu!

[digital garden]

other question, what Halo game do you guys think had the best story?
Im talking single game here, not connecting with others.

[granite sky]

sci fi aliens are similar enough to humans to where interests are alike. some where aliens are incompatible are scarier

oh sry

[jade gust]

Halo 4 is easily the one I think had the best story

[digital garden]

I cant disagree with that because im only halfway through with 3.
from what I played (MCC campaigns until 3), Reach had the best standalone story imo

which is kinda obvious

[hasty zinc]

bottom 3 for me is Reach, 3 and ODST

[thick furnace]

humans do the same

[jade gust]

My hot take is Halo 3's story is worse than Halo 5's. Since Halo 5 at least attempted to tell a story with its characters, it just fumbled in the execution

[hasty zinc]

absolutely agree

[digital garden]

Imma say it like this, from what I played of 3 until now its okay.
its fun, but not as good as 2 or reach IMO

CE gets a bit of leniency because its the first in the series and was nowhere near as established as the others story wise.

[thick furnace]

4 probably got my favorite ngl

perfect ending to chief being the main character yet 343 kept adding him in games

[hasty zinc]

3 just dropped the ball on the story and characters so hard

[thick furnace]

3 was basically just the ending to 2s story

like it couldve been dlc

i still do like 3 more than 2 tho

[digital garden]

this is a problem with many games, just not knowing when to let go or to drop a character.
you can only ever do so much with one person, its like if JK Rowling wrote 28 more Harry potter books to make money.

[thick furnace]

yeah they really gotta move on

[zenith cairn]

HELLO

[thick furnace]

i still think infinite shouldve been a game just it wouldve felt better to be later on in the series

[naive turret]

Would Nintendo move away from Mario?
Would Sega Sonic?

[thick furnace]

i dont think they should kill off chief but they should only have him be in a game every once in a while

[naive turret]

It's not entirely the same but the guy has too much mascot value even now.

[thick furnace]

sega actually shows love to other characters tho

[naive turret]

Much as I wish we'd get spin-offs. Or anything new (had to get that in there)

[thick furnace]

every halo spinoff just makes up a brand new main character instead of making games for characters people like

[digital garden]

Mario is different imo.
Mario games dont exactly have a coherent story line that needs to make sense.
Halo on the other hand cant keep the war going forever or it gets stale.

[digital garden]

I mean, Noble team was awesome.

[thick furnace]

yeah marios story is awful

[naive turret]

That's why I said it's not entirely the same.

And Mario stories can be great. See Galaxy 1 or Super Paper Mario.

I'm saying from a business point of view, Chief is Xbox's Mario.

They just don't put out anywhere near the same number of games.

[digital garden]

I know, but I would rather see chief Retire or die a hero than him be the Main character of the next 20 halo games.

[zenith cairn]

I think Halo should let the war continue.
The reason is that if the war ends, the number of players will decrease, and that's bad.

[jade gust]

I would not say this is the shared sentiment in the Sonic community

[thick furnace]

whar

[thick furnace]

yeah but people love the games with other main characters a lot too

reach is like the most glazed halo next to 3

[digital garden]

I do think the main difference between for example Noble 6 and Master Chief is that Master Chief was built to be somewhat of a self insert.

[naive turret]

LMAO

[digital garden]

In a way that YOU are Master chief

[naive turret]

Wait I'll let you finish the point hold on

[digital garden]

Chief doesnt have much of a personality, whenever he talks its quick and probably what everyone is thinking in that moment.

[naive turret]

And Six?

[digital garden]

Characters like noble 6? they have a standalone personality that makes them unique.

[thick furnace]

mainly a bungie writing thing ngl

[digital garden]

While Noble 6 also doesnt talk too much, still more than chief.

[naive turret]

LMAO

[thick furnace]

4 and onwards he gets a character

[naive turret]

I'm actually buckled

[zenith cairn]

Who is the best?
Master chief or noble 6

[naive turret]

Chief talks more in one cutscene in CE than Six does in the entirety of Reach what do you meeeaaaaan

[digital garden]

strenght wise? its Chief, theres no beating that.

[naive turret]

The guy who's armour you literally customise to be your own isn't a self insert but Chief is whaaaaaa

[thick furnace]

only time i remember six talking was the very first cutscene and carters death

[jade gust]

There was a run of games for Sonic which were not looked upon favourably by the Sonic community. To the point that there was a vocal group claiming Sega had no clue what they were doing with the franchise. I was learning about it a while back

[coral yoke]

the most i remember ever hearing six say was "yes sir" and the like

[digital garden]

I might have been incomprehensebly rambling rn

sorry lads, its quite late over here.

[zenith cairn]

I have question

[naive turret]

If you got the two mixed up that's fine it's just incredibly funny

I've never heard the take that Six has more personality than Chief

[thick furnace]

which games?

[jade gust]

Halo 4 takes place after the war ended and still tells a good story

[digital garden]

I got my points mixed up.

[zenith cairn]

What happened to Jun in halo reach

[naive turret]

Colours through Forces pretty much

'Baldy McNosehair' era

[jade gust]

Aye

[thick furnace]

wasnt that only like 3 games

[digital garden]

I actually meant to say that Chief is designed to be the Main character not just for the game but pretty much the Whole story (obviously so.)
I mean its simple, chief is THE master Chief, while noble 6 is well, Noble SIX, hes just one member of noble team.

[jade gust]

He lived and went on to recruit for the Spartan IV program

[coral yoke]

heard something about him leaving reach to become a recruiter for spartan 4s

[thick furnace]

i mean colors is awful yeah i think its probably the worst sonic ngl

[jade gust]

More than 3, there was also Sonic Boom, which was not well recieved during that time

[thick furnace]

generations is good and forces is alright

[jade gust]

And well, Halo has never had a string of back to back bad releases quite like Sonic has

[thick furnace]

gameplay tho forces sucks

[thick furnace]

well sonic also has like 5x the games

[jade gust]

If the gameplay sucks, then it's not doing the main thing the game should be doing, being fun to play

[thick furnace]

sonics more story focused

[naive turret]

I have heard nothing but bad about Forces, the main thing being how Tails character is completely reverted to the point Frontiers had to address it

[coral yoke]

-# tell that to helldivers

[thick furnace]

well yeah tails thought his brother/father figure got murdered infront of him 😭

and it was all his fault of course he wouldnt be okay

[naive turret]

The games themselves admit it was inconsistent you don't have to bat for it

[jade gust]

The main issues I hear about Helldivers are bugs (And not the big ones you shoot). People praise the gameplay from what I've seen

[naive turret]

The balancing is the main issue tbf.

There's a severe bloat of things nerfed to uselessness.

[jade gust]

Fair

[thick furnace]

not a whole ton

[naive turret]

And Arrowhead have in the past gone out of their way to remove niche strategies from being viable.

[jade gust]

Ah, that's not great

[naive turret]

Yeah, I love the game but I think their design philosohies aren't exactly aligned with what a lot of people want.

[thick furnace]

frontiers was mainly just explaining why tails has been seen more as weak now

last game he really fought was heroes i think lol

[digital garden]

Just asking, I heard Halo Infinites Campaign is built different compared to the others

[jade gust]

They should hire me, I'll see to it that the balancing isn't designed in a way to remove those lesser known strategies

[thick furnace]

open world

[fossil lintel]

Lots of exploration

[digital garden]

oh... not trynna be that guy, but I dont know how Halo and open world fit together well

[coral yoke]

for me it's just the game by design. i have almost never felt in control of my character and among other things it just kinda leaves a sour taste in my mouth tbh

[thick furnace]

they give a grapple hook to help around a bit

[fossil lintel]

Once I got the wasp I basically hunted down all the items and stuff

[jade gust]

It features an open world environment which you move around, but there are still more traditional levels as well

[thick furnace]

i think u can get vehicles too

[jade gust]

Ah fair

[naive turret]

You can but...ah nvm I'm not gonna do the Infinite rant again

https://klipy.com/gifs/vinyl-records-record-collection--k01KQJKGQZYRJM2G658B92T7FZS

[digital garden]

I mean from a gameplay standpoint.
I played and loved Far Cry 5, but I dont see an open world working too well with Halos signature gameplay mechanics.

[naive turret]

You'll see when you get there

[digital garden]

Does it feature fishing

[naive turret]

no

[jade gust]

I can see what they were going for and I think the story in Infinite does justify Chief being deployed in that way, but I hope we have a linear campaign for the next one

[thick furnace]

if the next game isnt a linda game styled like mgs then 343 is selling

[digital garden]

same here.
Its not that I dislike Open World games, some of my all time favourites are open world.
Its just for me that the reason I love halo campaigns beside the story is their linear mission based gameplay.

[jade gust]

Because I don't really see how they could innovate on what Infinite's campaign is without leaning more heavily into tropes of open world games. And well, Chief doesn't seem like the guy who is being asked to kill 3 rabbits to help out someone

[coral yoke]

i liked the open world aspect of infinite but god it is not worth $60

or hell anything above $30

[digital garden]

Exactly.
Compared to Deputy from Far Cry 5, I just dont see him spending his time FISHING and hunting while Humanity is at an existential risk.

[thick furnace]

fps games try not to be stupidly overpriced challenge

still to this day all of bo2 is around 90 dollars i think

[jade gust]

I think a spin-off Halo game where we play as someone else in an open world could work. Whether it be a GTA clone set on High Charity where we get to see what the criminal underworld looks like within an alien empire, or we're a loan wanderer on a frontier world in the aftermath of the Human-Covenant War, playing rival factions of bandits and raiders against one another as we try to learn the secrets of the planet

[thick furnace]

halo spinoffs would be cool but thats too cool we need another halo ce

[digital garden]

CD Project Red does it well with explaining side activities even with an sense of urgency.
For example in the Witcher 3, you have to quickly find ciri yes, but Geralt also gotta get some money to finance himself.
In halo though? i dont think Chief is the kind of guy who has to go hunt a deer to pay for his new suit of armour.

[jade gust]

You say that as if all we've gotten is remakes of CE since 2011

[thick furnace]

basically have

[jade gust]

I don't remember Halo 4, Halo 5, Halo Wars 2 and Halo Infinite being remakes of CE

[digital garden]

isnt Halo wars just Company of Heroes but Halo?

[thick furnace]

i mean infinite is like kinda

[coral yoke]

not really?

[thick furnace]

halo game trying to go back to the classics mostly and taking place on a halo ring

[coral yoke]

i don't know where people get that from

[thick furnace]

then new ai person

in some ways its similar

[jade gust]

He isn't. He may have to hunt for food if the situation demands it, such as being low on rations and not having contact with any friendly forces, but he's not gonna be going around doing side quests for local town folk

[thick furnace]

they made cyberpunk too right that games good

[jade gust]

Infinite is definitely trying to evoke the feeling of stepping onto a Halo ring for the first time from the second level of CE, but it's definitely not a remake of Combat Evolved

[digital garden]

I just played it like a month ago

Holy hell Cyberpunk is AWESOME.

[thick furnace]

they also do a great job of making side quests seem urgent

iirc some have time limits too

[digital garden]

yes, and they fit really well into the game.
although the one thing I disliked about Cyberpunk was its very short main story.

[naive turret]

Doesn't the short main story fit given it's a ticking clock narrative

[thick furnace]

that was probably just the path u picked ngl

u can make the story pretty long

[naive turret]

Isn't it engaging with the side content that would cause dissonance with the whole 'my identity is being erased I must act quickly'

[thick furnace]

side content connects a lot most the time

[digital garden]

no, not really.
I did EVERY side quest I could (except takemura, didnt know I could save him).

[thick furnace]

buy phantom liberty then 😼

[digital garden]

Already did and played it.
PL had a nice longer story, I enjoyed it.

Songbird? not so much, sold her.

[thick furnace]

either u speedrunned it or i just play super slow then 💔

game doesnt feel short to me

[digital garden]

I wouldnt call 100 hours a speedrun

[thick furnace]

then again i do play a lot of shorter games

[digital garden]

The game isnt short, I meant that its actual MAIN story line is very short.

[thick furnace]

like halo and sonic are my favorite game series those games are short

[naive turret]

I'll need to finish it at some point, I just get the feeling in the back of my head 'wow my V is dying' while taking part in a random street race yk.

[thick furnace]

i mean u could also just view it as V doing fun stuff before they die

[jade gust]

Once I have stable income again, I've gotta grab Cyberpunk, because I know I'll enjoy it

[digital garden]

Oh, didnt do that either.
I found the character annoying so I used my free will and declined.

[thick furnace]

i got a huge problem of not doing missions tho cuz i still dont know what ending to go for 💔

[digital garden]

I went with the Towers ending.

[thick furnace]

i think ik what ending i wanna go for now just dont got the game installed rn

[thick furnace]

prob wait for a sale with phantom liberty

[gloomy pond]

Why there are so many players in oneself team that plays bad on purpuse?

[thick furnace]

it goes on sale a lot with Xbox but pc has good mods

but phantom liberty makes the game like 2x better

[digital garden]

Its fun, it really is.
I dare say Cyberpunk has some of the most fun Combat mechanics I played with.

[thick furnace]

i wish cyberpunk had an fov setting

[digital garden]

also good story.

[thick furnace]

having a first person locked game with movement and be locked on low fov sucks

[digital garden]

First person lock makes sense tho imo, considering the many tight spaces.

[thick furnace]

probably my only complaints about halo 5 and cyberpunk 💔

[thick furnace]

i mean yeah but high fov makes movement wayyy better

[digital garden]

One thing I dont like about many Cyberpunk Fans is that they seemingly forget human biology with all the cyberware.
especially when arguing about the Towers ending.

[thick furnace]

i gotta finish so many games brah

[digital garden]

I need to touch Metro again...

[thick furnace]

im still on my first cyberpunk playthrough just i take my time doing every single thing possible (also havent had the game installed for months 💔 )

[naive turret]

Gonna ask for no spoilers btw

[thick furnace]

still not done the dmc series either i got that years ago

[digital garden]

Oh, sorry then.

[thick furnace]

but in my defense im on dmc2 and that game sucks

[digital garden]

whats DMC?

[viral dune]

Do
Make
Hot orange juice

(devil may cry I believe)

[naive turret]

Devil May Cry lol

I unlocked Trish in dmc 2 so I’ve probably played it more than most

[thick furnace]

devil may cry

its like resident evil but fully comedy and action

also made by the same people too iirc

[naive turret]

https://tenor.com/view/vergil-gif-25306498

[chilly timber]

God damn im legit so starved for halo news

[crisp jolt]

Devil may cry is fire

Resi is even more fire in my opinion

Count of S always makes fire halo fan art

They're in this server too

Haven't seen them in a bit, but love their art

[digital garden]

Man, I hate fighting the flood...
especially in Halo 3, where melee is useless against spores

DUDE HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WIN THIS

[hasty zinc]

you want to try to kill them before they kill you

that way you win and they lose

hope this helps

[viral dune]

Yeah you have to like stop their spread

[digital garden]

Im starting to understand WHY the forerunners resorted to using the rings

I found a flammenwerfer

[vagrant kettle]

Whoop de doo then

[naive turret]

tfw the Flamethrower is very not good

And is more likely to hurt you than the enemies

[digital garden]

Hear me out.

[naive turret]

I just folded my ears closed sorry

[vagrant kettle]

Also why german?

[digital garden]

its my native tounge and its FUN!

Gotta thank Richard Fiedler for the assist on this one.

Wait, doesnt this mean the flood is comically weak against napalm?

what happens if I put dragons breath rounds in the shotgun?

[zinc bear]

Hi

[viral dune]

Hey buddy

[digital garden]

|| This is getting really annoying, I know its for story telling ,but do I have to get Cortana popping up in my Vision or the Gravemind every 7 goddamn seconds? ||

[shy scaffold]

yes

it's meant to spook you out slightly

[digital garden]

|| Well if the Gravemind is trying to spook me, its not working mate, make your goons a little more fire resistant next time bro ||

[shy scaffold]

might not have aged the best but hey it was 20y ago AND its crucial to the plot

[shy scaffold]

play heroic or legendary 😄

h3 isn't as bad as h2 on legendary

[vagrant kettle]

The battle pass is finished and my life is empty once again

[digital garden]

|| Cortana just told me we got a friendly contact, why do I know its either Johnson or Arbiter? ||

[vagrant kettle]

So I guess smurfs play husky raid now.

This game is dead

Remember that one time when playing halo infinite was fun?

[ancient totem]

It was fun . But the media makes everyone think its not

Thats what I think. But I dont know

[digital garden]

It is still fun IMO, but a bit too similar to other shooters for my liking.
like, I still notice its a halo game, but its just not the same as 3 for example.

[ancient totem]

The sprint and all the extra stuff added. It changed the pace of the game and that is probably why it doesn't feel the same as halo 3

A lot of people say that sprint is not a big deal . But dont think through it all.

[meager linden]

[naive turret]

I mean it's the least big deal in Infinite tbf

[ancient totem]

What makes halo infinite inferior to halo 3 ?

[naive turret]

what? idk if you misread what I said

[ancient totem]

I think about this right now. What i think

[dusky sierra]

I’m playing Halo 3 for the first time rn actually

It’s pretty awesome, I see why people love it so much

[naive turret]

Hope you're enjoying it

[dusky sierra]

I didn’t know, but apparently I really needed to see ||Humans and Covenant working together||, it just feels right

[ancient totem]

I don't know

[dusky sierra]

I also adore ||Shipmaster||, though I don’t have high hopes that they’ll survive the game

[meager linden]

Ehhh, it's not covenant helping you, but Sangheili or simpler, elites

[dusky sierra]

Oh ok well yes

The cool part of the Covenant

[meager linden]

Anyway
"Back to work, 621"

[ancient totem]

When I think about what I dislike about halo infinite compared to the classics. All the extra stuff. Like sprint climbing or special classes. It seems cool to have more things in the game. But its more work.

[dusky sierra]

….two minutes into this mission and I’ve already softlocked myself
