Uhh.. helldivers

[granite breach]

Aren't they like ODSTs?

[viral dune]

Yeah

Ridiculously overpowered ODSTs

...that also die in stupid ways most of the time

[granite breach]

How do they compare to unarmored Spartans?

[viral dune]

Well, Spartans are still leagues ahead of helldivers in terms of physical ability and skills

But I guess with many of the stratagems and orbital support, a helldiver could compete

[granite breach]

Gotcha.

[waxen rose]

To answer your question I didnt mean to type it

[sudden hawk]

Hello everyone.

[lucid lagoon]

Hi

[zinc bear]

nice pfp

[sudden hawk]

thank you.

[zinc bear]

ive been using this ODST one for a while but iirc i used the dog one before i got halo 3

[sudden hawk]

hm.

[waxen rose]

He's so dark and mysterious

[sudden hawk]

who is?

[gray cipher]

Hello there! I was wondering if there’s any Halo collectibles groups? I may need to consider rehoming my MC vs Hunter statue.

[umbral nacelle]

How much and do you have a photo?

[floral pollen]

I believe there is a few out there, I think either Facebook or Twitter would prolly be your best bet for that, tho I don't know of any specifically myself

There's no buying/selling/trading within the server tho as per the rules :3

Tho if you do want to show off anything there is #halo-gear

[potent pelican]

I hypnotize you to sleep

[obsidian wyvern]

6am and I cannot sleep 😔

[zinc bear]

go to sleep

[obsidian wyvern]

I've tried that the past uhhh 3 hours I think

[zinc bear]

it’s the phone

[potent pelican]

1am and I can’t sleep

[waxen rose]

I worked 9 hours today as soon as I lay down im passing out like a dead body

[potent pelican]

Night shift like me?

[umbral nacelle]

they're going for around $11k? Nevermind. Lol

[sudden hawk]

9 hour's?! damn!

[waxen rose]

No but im hauling around mulch and lumber all day for needy customers
The world's dumbest species

[potent pelican]

I run CNC machines to make parts to keep the world running

[gray cipher]

Thanks! I don’t do much social media anymore besides discord, and wasn’t gonna try to sell it here. Did drop a few pics, though it could use a good cleaning. Lol

[potent pelican]

From 4:15pm -3:15 am Monday-Thursday

[waxen rose]

Why is my planet running please slow down

[potent pelican]

Like cars and planes that sort of things

[floral pollen]

Fair lol, but yea, overall if you are looking to pass it on, Facebook I think has some Halo collectors groups, and Twitter will prolly also have people that'd be interested :3

[zinc bear]

like my mom would always tell me
turn off the light, turn off your phone and turn your head towards the wall and close your eyes.

[potent pelican]

My pfp is meant to try to confuse people

[waxen rose]

My mom would give me Tylenol and id go to sleep

[potent pelican]

Mine would yell at me for a hour

[waxen rose]

My mom yells by default but thats because she's hard of hearing 💔

Passive-aggressive “why are you yelling”

[potent pelican]

I only was thrown on a wall today by my dad to be taught how life is with other guys

[waxen rose]

Other guys dont throw people unless they want to go to jail

[potent pelican]

It is how the world is I guess don’t trust any guy irl

[waxen rose]

Only man I trust is Leon Kennedy

[potent pelican]

I trust my primarch robute guiliman

[meager linden]

Nobody even knows when it's gonna be released

[potent pelican]

Pls let me out of the basement

[meager linden]

I don't have the basements, so you are lying

[frozen fulcrum]

Can someone explain why halo 3 is the only halo (afaik) that you have to lead your shots in? Like why is it SPECIFICALLY halo 3

[molten shadow]

Fix servers so i can go back to making bad machinimas

[digital garden]

Bullets physically have to travel to their target, it doesn't use Hitscan.

[frozen fulcrum]

But why only h3 though.

Thats what bugs the hell outta me

[turbid stirrup]

Tomorrow my agent told me

[rocky aurora]

it's so funny to open Halo Infinite and see "Ideal: 25.49GB" under VRAM useage

[meager linden]

Left 4 dead 2 opening cinematic still peak

[deep flare]

anyone realise that noble 6 might be master chief?

[lofty cloud]

You mean the original Noble 6 that the one we play as replaces?

We never do learn who the original Noble 6 was all we get is a line "you are stepping into some shoes the rest of us would rather leave unfilled"

[thorn compass]

MCC servers still down?

[molten shadow]

How does rejected shotgun make the civilian and elite characters mouths move when he talks on his YouTube videos?

[jade gust]

We did learn who Six was replacing, Thom-A293. We see his death in the Deliver Hope trailer for Halo Reach back in 2010 https://www.halopedia.org/Thom-A293

[coral yoke]

i don't know the first thing about that person but i think questions about basic lip(/mandible) syncing are better asked in the halo archive server

[lofty cloud]

Oh I didnt watch the trailer back then

[jade gust]

It's a well made trailer, but I imagine the visuals will look a bit dated these days

[lofty cloud]

Depends on the games. Some games were ahead of their time others released on the same year look like garbage its weird how that works

Reach was a good looking game it should hold up well

[cinder pewter]

Cough cough

Silent hill homecoming, a 2008 game looking worse than Silent hill 3 (from 2003)

[lofty cloud]

Exactly

New doesnt always mean better

Oftentimes its the opposite

[jade gust]

I was talking specifically about the trailer, not Reach itself when it comes to the visuals

But also, I think Reach leaning so much into trying to look gritty has made it age worse than other Halo games

[ancient totem]

Thats a good point. They are basically the same thing.

Nah just kidding . Master chied and noble 6 are different

[obsidian wyvern]

you're onto something

don't let anyone dissuade you

[steady jolt]

We've never seen them in the same room at the same time

Good day people of Halo

Finishing Season 2 of Inuyasha before work

[thorn compass]

any eta on MCC server fix?

[analog knot]

No

I wrote it in another channel but we will likely see a tweet acknowledging it roughly lunchtime PST and then a fix around late afternoon/evening EST. So give/take ~5-10 hours from now. Guess based on the last few times this has happened. As always fingers crossed for sooner. And playing other stuff in the meantime 😄

[thorn compass]

@misty marsh you still watching Attack on Titan or no?

[analog knot]

The servers arent offline, which is probably all Azure would tell customers about.

[misty marsh]

Haven't had time recently cause of uni and before that I was busy binging star wars in time for mando and grogu

[analog knot]

Not saying there isnt SOME dashboard that should return a health check but yeah it requires some effort over the weekends.

[sturdy terrace]

Today has been a good day for me! 😄 Currently transcribing two thought lost podcasts for Halopedia! 😄

Its legitimately interesting to hear from the players of I Love Bees and the creators of it.

[haughty wraith]

That kinda thing is why live service games aren't a great business model

[somber needle]

Is it just me or does anyone remember Red vs blue lmao

[ancient totem]

I found the star wars general chat.

I just joined tjeir discord

[thick furnace]

if u dont know rvb u a fake halo fan 🗣️

Probably to new . Halo has so much expanded lore

May the forth be with you

[misty marsh]

Everyone does

[thick furnace]

sucks that most of it is books 💔

[ancient totem]

Nah ah . Talking about steam games right now . Their having a sale !

[ancient totem]

And honestly I liked the star wars books.

[neat vale]

U don’t like reading?

[thick furnace]

i love reading just games are way more fun

[cinder pewter]

Damn Assault on the Control room took a while without skips (only skip I used was that one where you jump from glass panels but that's it lol)

It's been years since I played this game, I died way too many times on this level lmao (playing on Normal). Derusting still in progress

[gleaming hamlet]

am i allowed to use halo music in youtube videos

[obsidian wyvern]

it gets messy with halo 4 and 5 iirc, but the other games are fine

[lofty cloud]

Yall have a good day, im sitting this one out.

Oh looks like they deleted it

[steady jolt]

I did, they had already left

[lofty cloud]

People need to Always ask age before DMing

[meager linden]

Good evening people of Halo

[gusty dove]

helloo!!!!1

[molten shadow]

Are custom games offline on halo mcc?

[analog knot]

dedicated servers are a bit broken right now, so you can still do custom games with your friends directly but matchmaking/custom game browser arent reliable

[delicate tusk]

Heyy

[keen lark]

all the servers were up for me and then start disappearing one at a time

that's an f

[analog knot]

Instability causes weird things to happen - hopefully a fix soon 🙂

[keen lark]

i know the servers are a bit wonky rn but i haven't seen that happen before

yes

[ancient totem]

Cant ask age here

Last time I asked someone's age here. I got in trouble.

And it was just casually out of curiosity. I never realized it could be such a sensitive question . But thats what discord is. Its much worse on elder scrolls though.

[keen lark]

elder scrolls is definitely a place that exists

[ancient totem]

Their discord chat is horrible

[keen lark]

the drama in that game makes assassination tower players look tame by comparison

[ancient totem]

They have no rules there. They say all kinds of crazy things. Just dont say you are a boy

[keen lark]

and i mean eso

[ancient totem]

Jeez I wonder why .

I cant go back. I'm banned for life or something.

[keen lark]

probably for the best

[bleak jasper]

May the fourth be with you all

Also my brother is getting a cat today and naming it jango..

[ancient totem]

Yeah. And thats embarrassing for the Bethesda company. That that is their official discord

[steady jolt]

We don't need to be bringing drama from other servers here

[ancient totem]

K

[ancient totem]

Ok

[keen lark]

that's pretty epic

may the fourth be with you

Someone more witty will be with you shortly im sure.

Hopefully

Its nothing personal. Im just not the best with other people.

[ancient totem]

@delicate tusk Say something to get their attention. Their here. Just not here

[delicate tusk]

Uhm... hiiii

No one is rlly responding

[ancient totem]

Like asking question about halo. Who would win in a fight. Atriox or Tartarus

Oh trust me . They are here. There everywhere here.

[delicate tusk]

So If I ask that theyll come?

[ancient totem]

Something like that yeah

[delicate tusk]

Ok..

What is going on?

Oh

[delicate tusk]

Uhm.. nothing

[ancient totem]

Everyone here is sad

I have a pet pug. That i intentionally train to do bad things because its funny

[steady jolt]

🤨

[ancient totem]

He forces himself inside the house. I give him treats

I went outside one time and I seen him swinging my shoe back and forth. Lol.

And i play tag with him. He runs from me

[ancient totem]

What ?

[cinder pewter]

Gonna continue my first CE run in years... hope the library will go well

[ancient totem]

Its not like call of duty zombies thats for sure

[cinder pewter]

I'll see. I'm on normal mode yet I have died quite a bit when derusting during assault on the control room
(I am also playing without skips, outside of one small glass panel skip I did in AoCR)

Tho I remember the biggest problem with the library just it being long and repetitive.

Gotta lock in and be patient

[ancient totem]

[lofty cloud]

Can atleast ask if someones over 18 even if they dont want to give a specific age answer

[ancient totem]

No .

[steady jolt]

That still becomes too personal a question, especially if they're not

[ancient totem]

Dont ask someone's age here no matter what . They don't luke that

[steady jolt]

People are welcome to state their age if they want to, but we shouldn't be asking

[ancient totem]

This is the first place I ever thought asking someone's age could be offensive. Discord only place like that

[lofty cloud]

I usually like to ask before DMing anyone so im not talking to any young people

Sometimes you can tell easily by the way they write but not always

[analog knot]

Anyone under 25 is probably an idiot, so based (this is a joke)

[steady jolt]

I never said anything about it being offensive, I just said we shouldn't be asking personal questions like that

[ancient totem]

Last time I asked someone's age here. They took is very badly and a lot of people here said I shouldn't ask about people's age.

I didn't realize that some people can be sensitive to this . I never thought anything of it until this incident here

[lofty cloud]

Its usually not a hassle most people tend to get it

[ancient totem]

I wouldn't test it

[green swift]

It’s cuz most people here are 50+, ur scaring them

I didn’t know wokeness affected boomers 😭

[ancient totem]

No no no

[green swift]

Also who censoring here bruh

[ancient totem]

Discord is unique

There is no telling what will offend some people. So just

[lofty cloud]

Discord is better then Reddit. There is some insane theories on there that make me question humanity.

Some people think Stu is alive in Scream 7, its like yo the dude was bleeding out from several knife injuries long before the active tv was dropped on his head.

It would be stupid to write in Stu

[green swift]

Dude both are terrible. I use discord to just hang out with my friends, this is one of the few times I’ve spoken in a big server chat

Mainly cuz this one is dead enough for me to send a message and people will be able to see it

[lofty cloud]

Initially only joined discord to keep up with a phone game i been playing

Information was better about the game on discord it was easier to check out stuff.

[dusty yew]

I stopped playing halo when they put the master chief in the soder

[weak lance]

Sorry for posting this here but LFG is dead.

Anyone wanna run HALO 3 Legendary?

[novel tinsel]

I still play halo

Uhh sure

Idk how to

[pulsar heron]

please dont do this. the lfg channels are there for a reason.

[weak lance]

Okay sorry

[pliant hatch]

so in h3?

[dusty yew]

Yep

[lofty cloud]

Halo is still well worth playing

https://tenor.com/view/halo-master-chief-thel-vadam-longswords-forerunner-gif-8741066215582128165

[lofty cloud]

The MCC was done really nicely.

Very clean and well organized menus

Its still trippy having portable Halo. I figured Halo was always gonna stay purely Xbox

[pliant hatch]

so what brought you back?

[novel tinsel]

I cant play now sorry

[heady hatch]

best firefight mode? MCC or infinite?

[zinc bear]

acting like RvB is niche

[meager linden]

Good night people of Halo

[viral dune]

It really is one of the nichest things

[zinc bear]

Just like Poland

[viral dune]

Yeah man

[lofty cloud]

They could still potentially do something with Camp Camp in the future if RWBY dont work out hah

Red Vs Blue season 17 was actually really entertaining. Goofy yes but better then season 16 was

16 felt more like a fanfic version of RVB

17 redeemed them though and then they went and made Zero

[pliant hatch]

I think mcc has more options, but the best might depend on what you're into.

Just beat The Library. took me a while even tho I'm on normal mode. The level just drones on lol

where can I go for help with MCC exchange?

What kind of help? if it says its stuck on 7 days its just a bug it only rotates once a quarter now: https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/2026-mcc-exchange-update

[dim walrus]

Am I able to post a pic real quick?

won't let me exchange for the free halo 2 assault rifle skin

[cinder pewter]

6 hours in, 3 more levels to go. I thought I was a bit slow but apparently, an average (first) casual playthrough of CE takes 10 hours from what I read

[normal owl]

All help requests go in #1075989764026675210 where those able will attempt to assist.

[pliant hatch]

have you played it before?

[cinder pewter]

Yes, on Original Xbox years ago. I guess it was 2019-2021 in that era or so

so almost every level feels like playing again for the first time

[meager linden]

I haven't played CEA for a long time
Now thinking about playing again

[pliant hatch]

ah, well I guess you know it's just more flood, lol.

[cinder pewter]

I read a lot of comments from other places about how it doesn't run so well on base Xbox One nowadays (I bought a base Xbox one used recently), but so far it runs very well, 60fps smooth

Sometimes there's tanked framerates but it's rare, mostly on anniversary graphics. Tho I just played the Library and the framerate didn't tank a single time on either graphics setting (I ended up switching graphic settings for prolonged periods of time just to get a change in scenery

I lowkey expected it to given the sheer amount of flood I had to extinguish

[pliant hatch]

I think h2a is where it's most experienced.

[obsidian wyvern]

that happens with checkpoints on, i think, everything

youll get that small stutter when its loading the next part of the level or its given you a checkpoint

[cinder pewter]

I'm not counting checkpoints. Framerate also got reduced when there wasn't a checkpoint loading, but like I said, it's very rare

[obsidian wyvern]

ah

[cinder pewter]

I've gotten used to the checkpoint stutter

[obsidian wyvern]

lowkey pretty useful when u cant see ur hud

[cinder pewter]

overall I'm glad I bought this Xbox One and the MCC

Feels nice to have the full main series at my disposal

[zinc bear]

It has been confirmed.

I wonder how they got away with the T for Teen rating, when the Keyes cutscene exists.

I guess they aren’t as harsh as they used to be with the ESRB ratings

[normal owl]

I guess Keyes will be stuck in a big thing of jell-o

[pliant hatch]

maybe they didn't think he was human anymore idk

[zinc bear]

That makes sense

[meager linden]

I guess what is infected by Flood, it now Flood, not anything else

[versed atlas]

Albert is coming

Run

[dusty yew]

He’s the reason we have the infection gamemode

[obsidian wyvern]

i like how it doesnt apply to robots so they can get away with whatever

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/GhEmZbYWsAAe_Fq.gif

[normal owl]

That's my personal theory of how the Prometheans came to be: much more wiggle room within the T rating.

[steady jolt]

What's been confirmed?

[zinc bear]

I thought that was the ESRB rating for campaign evolved, no?

[meager linden]

Current vibes of l4d2
Idk why, but Valve does that in the next game

[steady jolt]

There's nothing for Campaign Evolved up on ESRBs site

[zinc bear]

I’m confused

[lofty cloud]

Steam only has the name and a "coming soon" release date with a trailer and a bunch of screenshots

[hasty zinc]

hi confused, I'm Aegis

[chilly timber]

[zinc bear]

🤬🤬🤬

[meager linden]

It's a preview for the Halo twitter account
And I guess it's overall for Halo games

[steady jolt]

The ESRB rating listed on Twitter is not necessarily for Campaign Evolved.

[zinc bear]

Yeah yeah I realized that after. Didn’t see the person asking for the twitter handle.
And seeing other people talk about the rating, such as revenant saying “this is a rating people will get mad at” made it seem like it was confirmed.

[lofty cloud]

Halo Campaign Evolved: Rated G for Game

[steady jolt]

It's listed as PEGI 16 on the MS App Store, which is expected (don't see that changing). ESRB seemingly being the be-all end-all rating will never not be funny to me

[lofty cloud]

Halo doesnt really have nothing offensive and the alien blood is different colored so its not super gorey

[meager linden]

Ain't it was once pegi 18?

[zinc bear]

Aren’t the ratings on the MS store for non released games just placeholders?

[chilly timber]

Campaign evolved: Trailer 2 when

[chilly summit]

never

[zinc bear]

What more is there to show? It’s just combat evolved with better graphics lol

[steady jolt]

Probably, but with the exception of Halo 3 and Reach, all others have been PEGI 16. So it tracks it probably won't change

[hasty zinc]

there are new levels

[steady jolt]

Oh wait, I'm wrong

That was PEGI Germany

[hearty bronze]

Happy halo day or wtv everyone #spacewars

[steady jolt]

PEGI Europe has had every single FPS title as PEGI 16

[chilly timber]

Which is kinda sad the only thing to be hyped about is the 3 new missions there should be more to it the silent cartographer level looks like it plays the exact same but w sprint

[chilly summit]

would rather experience those for the first time than seeing what they are in a trailer tbh

[zinc bear]

I was thinking that PEGI 16 was the same as T for Teen but never mind

[hasty zinc]

I get that, but I also wouldn't mind a quick little bit on it, nothing too spoilery etc etc

[zinc bear]

They’re working on revamping the missions as well

[chilly summit]

maybe we might get a little preview in the games showcase,that would be the best bet for anything new on cev at this point imo

[meager linden]

Those pegi things are not my type favour to talking about
I just don't understand it

@zinc bear I guess we are not gonna play today
I'm kinda tired from today's busy day

[zinc bear]

That’s okay

[meager linden]

See you all tomorrow

Great reason to work out more lol

The short meme version is that the stock market crashes, you're the one to lose your job. The stock market goes up, investors make more money. Further discussion enters ~political~ territory.

[vapid oriole]

politcal is bs, peoeple trying make manmade politics sound serious and controversial is actually goddamn hilarious

[limber monolith]

I dont understand why MCC has been such a crapshow the last few days

[analog knot]

Servers broke. They are trying to fix it. Maybe today? 😄

[red whale]

Have the Halo devs addressed any of the criticisms people had about the Halo Campaign Evolved first look Silent Cartographer mission? Are they planning to change anything or will it just play as is from whatever we saw in that playthrough preview?

[autumn storm]

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-star-wars-gif-17262241509261421615

[steady jolt]

What we saw was an early work-in-progress build, there will definitely be changes and improvements made before launch. That build itself was at least several weeks old when it was released

[red whale]

Ok, but have they confirmed any changes specifically? Like it wasn’t clear if they were using some Halo Infinite and Halo 5 weapons as place holders or whether that is the intended weapons for the game (such as no original looking needler)

[jade gust]

I don't think they had any Halo 5 models in the demo. Some animations were Halo 5 animations but I don't mind that. No need reanimating something when they can reuse perfectly good animations

[pliant hatch]

don't think they confirmed anything.

[steady jolt]

Outside of the Waypoint blog, the Xbox news blog is all that has been posted so far
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/10/24/halo-campaign-evolved-answering-the-big-questions/

[red whale]

The Forerunner designs also seemed a bit sloppy. Like, the hatch no longer appears as a hatch but was replaced with a spire looking thing from a level like mission 2 in the OG game

[jade gust]

To be fair, the hatch made no sense in the original, since it slid instead of working like an actual hatch

I wouldn't be surprised if they reworked the design of it because of that fact

[red whale]

The spire doesn’t seem to make any more sense 🤷‍♂️

[jade gust]

Well we've not seen the ending of the remade Silent Cartographer. I wouldn't be surprised if they show us an actual animation of the spire receding into the ground before the hatch opens

[red whale]

I can’t remember but they definitely ripped the needler directly from a Halo Infinite asset and looks nothing like the needler used in the original Bungie games

[jade gust]

I never said they didn't use Infinite models

[red whale]

But why re-use any models if it’s supposed to be a complete remake? If those were just placeholders it is understandable but I don’t think the devs ever confirmed that they were just placeholders

[steady jolt]

Some of these things may be design choices, some can potentially be time saving placeholders - gives them something useable to get a build out for testing, while other assets are developed

Re-use of assets is smart and efficient

Building everything from the ground up, is not

[jade gust]

I will always be pro asset reuse because it means they can have the modellers, animators and artists working on actual new stuff, especially when we're at a point where graphics are plateauing in terms of how much we can push realism

[red whale]

It’s lazy if you are making a complete remake in a new engine. They are making the same mistake as Halo CE Anniversary, relying on tons of re-used assets from a recent game (in that case Halo Reach) instead of trying to remake the original game in the most authentic way possible

[vagrant kettle]

If it ain’t broke I guess

[steady jolt]

It's absolutely not lazy

[jade gust]

Like, the Infinite Elites are basically the best looking Elites and I'd rather they stick with those guys as the base Elite design and add new armour sets to them alongside the already existing ones

[steady jolt]

Even with asset re-use , there's still a lot of work required to be done

[red whale]

It is by definition. How many other developers use tons of re-used assets when making a game remake? I can’t think of one. Halo devs have now done it twice

[steady jolt]

This is the second time I've had this conversation today, deja vu

[steady jolt]

Every development team out there

[jade gust]

They had to make sure the models don't have any glaring issues and set up materials within UE5, not to mention actually figuring out the gameplay itself

[steady jolt]

Please go ask any game dev and they will tell you they make use of existing assets

It's insane to think they will throw out months of work to build it again in a new title

Think logically please

[indigo lotus]

Place holders are very common in game developments. For example the H4 sniper was used in H2 anniversary multiplayer demo till an actual true sniper rifle design is made. And reused assets is simple and easy to get things done pending if developers see fit and calling a complete remake on new engine lazy is poor choice of words.

[jade gust]

I wonder if they know about Resident Evil 2 Remake featuring a bunch of decals and stuff which originated in RE7? Because even with those two games having drastically different settings and time period, there are a few reused assets

[red whale]

I am. Why call it a “remake” when you are using 10-20% re-used assets from another older game?

[jade gust]

Ironically enough, the sniper in H2A MP is the Reach sniper with updated textures to work with the material system in that iteration of the engine

[steady jolt]

Because it's smart and efficient

It's much easier to work from a base, that a ground up build every time

[red whale]

That’s fair. My point is that the devs have still not confirmed that they are placeholders…

[jade gust]

10-20% of the assets being reused doesn't somehow invalidate the idea it's a remake

[red whale]

Yes it does. A remake is a completely new version of the game

[jade gust]

And Campaign Evolved is a new version of Combat Evolved's campaign... Not really sure what your point is

[red whale]

Then don’t call it a remake. Call it another Anniversary remaster 2.0

[jade gust]

It's not a remaster though

Like, it's not the same gameplay with new graphics

[indigo lotus]

Remake and Remaster are two different things. There not the same.

[steady jolt]

I hate to break the news to you, but I can all but guarantee that every developer out there will make the best use of existing assets they can, to save time and resources on having to rebuild the same things over and over. That's why asset libraries exist.
The time no spent on having to rebuild absolutely everything, can be out to much better use

[pliant hatch]

they're 'remaking' it with reused assets.

[acoustic pendant]

[steady jolt]

Yep, and they're touching up every asset pulled over

[cedar cedar]

Marrok lowkey peak

[steady jolt]

If you haven't already, please go and read the Xbox Wire article I posted for more information

[jade gust]

I think of all the assets in the demo, the Warthog is the one I'm surprised wasn't a reused asset

[acoustic pendant]

I love riding around the warthog with my friend

[red whale]

That’s what it looks like 😂

[jade gust]

So I decided to double check what I said about RE2make and RE7 sharing assets, and somehow I found a Reddit thread of a bunch of people being much more understanding about asset reuse between games

[naive turret]

Not to do the thing, but as an example the RE Engine games, not just the Remakes, re-use a ton of assets. As in object scans from-
Beat me to it Eon lol

[steady jolt]

Would you rather the team waste all their time building all these assets from the ground up, with no time for doing anything else? Or would you like the possibility of additional features, bug fixes and content?

[naive turret]

It's become a game with my sister to find that one crocodile plushie every time

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-run-gif-6802571979526052001

[indigo lotus]

Not all remakes have to be 1.1 exact the same scale. Take RE4 remake for example. Capcom added several new additions to the game including some content.

[jade gust]

And there's definitely assets reused from previous RE Engine Resident Evil games in RE4make too. The Matilda pistol, the CQBR, multiple of the shotguns, the helicopters seen near the end and Hunk's model are all straight from the previous remakes

Oh! And the knock-off MP5 which is in all the RE Engine Resident Evil remakes

[steady jolt]

It's not even just the gaming world that does this, pretty much every developer for any kind of software does it.

I just spent 3 week rebuilding my personal site. Did I start from scratch? Hell no, I used what I had and built out from it and improved upon it. Otherwise it would have taken me twice as long

[pliant hatch]

reusing assets is meh when they're literally also changing other things as well.

[lofty cloud]

Saves more resources for other projects. They are likely working on a Halo project beyond campaign evolved they arent likely using everything 100% devoted fully to campaign evolved

[steady jolt]

Yep

[lofty cloud]

Money and time saved means they can make another Halo project

[jade gust]

I wouldn't be surprised if projects after Campaign Evolved reused assets originally for Campaign Evolved too

Like, that AR model we saw in the demo was my favourite look it's ever had, be a shame for it to only show up in the CEmake and nowhere else

[lofty cloud]

They probably have the next few games outlined

[jade gust]

Hopefully one of those games is Unggoy Farmer

[steady jolt]

Like, if you want the studio to be efficient with their work and get things out in a decent time and not take years, you'll want them to make use of all the tools and assets they have at their disposal.

Otherwise, you can't complain when things are taking too long and not releasing on your timescales

[lofty cloud]

While some people are working on campaign evolved others are writing plans for future installments maybe even a Halo 2 Remake and also go further with Infinites story

[jade gust]

My bet, and this is based purely on speculation on my own part, is they'll take a similar approach to what has been done with Resident Evil

[indigo lotus]

True. I enjoyed playing both the original and the remake of 4. It has the same guns even reused ones from the previous ones using RE engines.

I need to resume on Requiem, but need to figure out a setting on graphics that doesn’t shut off my series X.

[jade gust]

Like, we'll have CEmake release, then after that will be Halo 7, then after that we may see Halo 2 remake (If that does end up becoming the plan)

[lofty cloud]

I feel it

[naive turret]

The only shakey thing with that is feature expectations

[lofty cloud]

I said that earlier... Remake, new game, remake, new game

[jade gust]

Requiem is so fun and I cannot wait for the free update they're doing soon. I need new stuff to do ever since I 100%ed it

[naive turret]

Like a H2 remake without multiplayer is conceptually kinda whew

[tiny idol]

Halo man

[naive turret]

To say nothing of doing a Campaign only H3 remake, you're missing 70% of the game

[lofty cloud]

Halo 2 had one of the funnest multiplayer

[lilac walrus]

?

[jade gust]

I think if we have a dedicated MP project out by then, we'll be fine

[tiny idol]

the times.

[lilac walrus]

???

[jade gust]

Like, I think having a dedicated multiplayer game which gets updated with new stuff alongside new releases would make more sense for them to do

[naive turret]

I don't think there being a concurrent f2p multiplayer (that isn't gonna play like the classics lets be real) erases the expectations for a remake of H2 or H3

[pliant hatch]

I don't think a mp will feel the same as the original. Just give me campaigns.

[indigo lotus]

I heard it is fun. But I can’t get far without my series X crashing and shutting off. I hope the update addresses this issue including a graphic setting to tone down the complexity and hopefully be on cloud sooner then later

[jade gust]

Yeah, people would complain they can't do stuff like BXR or the crazy sword lunges if they remade Halo 2's MP again

[tiny idol]

i reminisce over this game sm. H3 and Reach days were Prime.

[lofty cloud]

I need to get wifi and try new halo multiplayer. It would be neat to try halo 2 and 3 multiplayer without split screen

[naive turret]

Like you can try and set them with 'these are Campaign only' but it's like

You're a Playstation fan and the version you get of H3 is missing a majority of what people actually love about the original.

[lilac walrus]

Kk

[jade gust]

That's weird, I didn't have that happen at all on my Series X. I don't even think I encountered any bugs... Well, none which were unintentional or discovered by speedrunners to clone ammo (Which require you to do some very specific stuff most casual players won't do)

[pliant hatch]

I was referring to h3, but that would probly happen in h2's campaign as well. speed running would likely be doa at least the fun ones.

[jade gust]

Eh, people will find new methods and I don't think anyone is really expecting the original glitches and exploits to carry over from original CE to the remake

[obsidian wyvern]

pocket reloading and infinite ammo with unsc weapons is Def going

[jade gust]

Yeah

[indigo lotus]

It is not the only one. Had that problem with Indiana Jones, Battlefield 6, Marathon beta and sometime pending Ready or Not. The series X I have is the first edition I got for Christmas in 2020.

[pliant hatch]

it's why I mentioned the fun ones. h2 is all about the sword flying.

[jade gust]

Maybe worth giving it a clean? Either that or getting a look at the insides to see if there's anything wrong

[jade gust]

And I fully expect that not to be something we can do in a hypothetical Halo 2 remake

[obsidian wyvern]

marathon is weirdly CPU heavy

it tanks in performance way more than it should

[naive turret]

Did you guys say it gets more noticeable in cryo

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

you haven't played outpost yet have you

[naive turret]

which is weird right cause that's an indoor environment so you'd think

nah not yet

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah so outpost is pretty bad when it rains, and cryo is pretty bad when you get to the middle section

[jade gust]

Could be the density of objects in Cryo?

[indigo lotus]

That I may need to do. Just need to know what to use. Even on looking the inside, I have someone at a nearby Game Force who could help on that one.

[naive turret]

when it rains you say

[jade gust]

May be worth reaching out and getting their help

[red whale]

I guess it’s not just an asset re-use thing that worries me but a general lack of faithfulness to the original games look and feel. They could have used a needler with the original design from CE-5, there’s even an asset skin of that version for Infinite as a separate skin. But they chose to use the new one from Halo Infinite that looks way different from the original. They also have the OG looking grunts but also chose to throw in a bunch of Halo 4 designed grunts in the mission too which completely clash with the original grunt design style… so what’s even more worrying is that these things seem intentional rather than just lazy 🤷‍♂️

[jade gust]

The Needler changed a whole bunch between CE and 5

[verbal lark]

Needler best halo gun oat

[gilded cargo]

I hate you

[jade gust]

Like, Reach was the first time it got a major redesign, Halo 5 gave it a slightly more organic look and Infinite went back to something closer to Reach's but with the ammo counter on the back

[verbal lark]

Hiya moon

Mcbubblespit*

[jade gust]

Those Grunts are all Infinite Grunts

[gilded cargo]

[jade gust]

Which includes the Halo 4-style backpacks, since Infinite feature those for some of the Grunts

[verbal lark]

So we all know the arbiter is the best halo character right

[red whale]

Ok, well then Infinite chose to throw in weird Halo 4 design grunts with a clashing design philosophy

[vagrant kettle]

False alarm everyone

[ancient totem]

Halo 2 soundtrack. Respite

https://youtu.be/peSKLMBY544?si=4io3h9d6XNxSMGu-

[jade gust]

I disagree, I think they look good

[red whale]

I mean, design wise it changed the most between 5 and Infinite and they are using the one that only exists in Infinite and none of the others that had a more classic look

[wanton drift]

@red whale crybaby

[red whale]

Not classic design at all

[jade gust]

I never said it was the classic design, I just said it looked good

[ancient totem]

Its simple

[verbal lark]

Yeah the grunts got straight heat🔥🔥🔥

In every game

[ancient totem]

It looks good enough to not complain

[jade gust]

And looking at Infinite and Reach's Needlers side by side, The biggest change (Beyond the colour) is just the addition of the ammo counter

[ancient totem]

But even i think halo 2 elites look better then halo 3 elites

[steady jolt]

There's no need to be insulting towards others, don't do this please

[jade gust]

Like, if I didn't know anything about Halo, I would've assumed it was simply an updated design (Which, really, it is)

[wanton drift]

🙄

@red whale i sorry okay

[red whale]

Why do you need an ammo counter on a gun that you can literally vissibly see the ammo? Classice case of over-designed and this literally became a meme. There are now 3 ways to check the ammo on the needler if you account for the UI as well. So unnecessary…

[jade gust]

I don't know why they added, nor did I say whether or not I think it was a good addition to the design or not

But I wouldn't really say that means it's over-designed

[ancient totem]

I dont know what you say is true. But if there really is a ammo counter on needler. I dont think its fitting

If the covenant weapons are going to say anything in their design. I think it should be in covenant symbols

[red whale]

There is. They added it in Infinite changing the entire back appearance of the gun from traditional look just to add an ammo counter and now it looks like they are using that version in Halo CE remake too

[ancient totem]

Like a ammo counter on a needler should have some kind of covenant symbols. Alien . Not English.

[obsidian wyvern]

its just dots on a screen

[ancient totem]

Make it look alien. Like the vision on the fuel rod in halo reach . The fuel rod has some kind of visor attached to it . Or the plasma castor . One of those

[ancient totem]

Thats good.

[steady jolt]

Counter on the needler doesn't bother me at all

[wanton drift]

Did you change my name to this sticker

[steady jolt]

Nope

[wanton drift]

Yes you did

[ancient totem]

It looks good.

[steady jolt]

I can assure you, I did not

Do the bots here change names sometimes?

[ancient totem]

The bots here dont talk . Just watch 😅

What the heck is that there.

[steady jolt]

Before that, you attempted change your nick to my nick, which isn't allowed

[wanton drift]

All the way back in march wow

[wanton drift]

Ohhhh!! Yeah 🤣

I’m still your number one fan here so hey

[ancient totem]

What kind of thing allows you to do that

[steady jolt]

Custom bot

[ancient totem]

Oh . Ok.

[molten shadow]

Just had a update patch on halo mcc on steam

[coral yoke]

randomized xbox gamertags kinda go hard though

[ancient totem]

I thought you were able to access our names or something

[jade gust]

Outside of one time in the novel Cole Protocol, they've never had human language on a Covenant weapon in any Halo media

[steady jolt]

I mean, I can. I change the nick of anyone here if I need to, I just... don't

[ancient totem]

I remember that from being in halo clan discord

[obsidian wyvern]

ive been a victim to the name changing

i think its been aegis each time lol

[ancient totem]

Because I had the super rank in the halo clan . Others were below me

[steady jolt]

It was funnier when people didn't have nickname perms

[obsidian wyvern]

couldnt do anything about it lool

My name is Christian . But some call me Christina

Hey bub . What you doing ?

[static knot]

is it me or is are the books better than the games now>?

[ancient totem]

There he is.

Yeah. From what I understand the books are good

Im reading contact harvest 1 sentence per day.

Im reading my books nice and slow. I already read the combat evolved book about the flood

[static knot]

umm you knew i was coming?

[ancient totem]

Right now in contact harvest. lighter then someone is fixing the weapons ib the weapons bay on the brute ship called rapid conversion

[coral yoke]

and i reckon a felt creature such as you would want nothing to do with that inferno

[ancient totem]

I told bub to come. And you came. So your bub

[wanton drift]

…..

[ancient totem]

Nice and slow ...

[neat vale]

servers fixed?

[ancient totem]

Maybe a few words at a time

[wanton drift]

That’ll take years

[static knot]

you're*

[ancient totem]

Been reading the same book for 304 days

[wanton drift]

Right..

[ancient totem]

Its classified

I have my own halo book club somewhere else

[wanton drift]

👎🏻

Nuh

[ancient totem]

On the game war and order. In their public chat im reading the book to them.

[wanton drift]

Read the one that takes place after the halo infinite game

[ancient totem]

I will read them all. Next will be the fall of reach.

[static knot]

so the books are more enjoyable than this weird story in the games

[ancient totem]

Most likely better as a book

Same story . Just in a book

[static knot]

cause this story in 5 and Infinite are getting confusing.

[ancient totem]

Well . I never tried to understand it . But i understand it because its talked about so much

[coral yoke]

haven't played 5 but i hear that they're hardly connected at all

[ancient totem]

[runic wagon]

@ancient totem 🤡

[coral yoke]

like 5 ends ||by setting up an all-out conflict between the unsc and the created|| and infinite starts with ||chief getting himself handed to him by a completely different splinter faction that we hadn't heard of before||

[ancient totem]

6 comes after 5 . So there is some connection.

[ancient totem]

I like that.

[runic wagon]

[vagrant kettle]

What game?

[ancient totem]

War and order

I've had multiple names. And abandoned most of them. My name is currently my real life name . Christian

Knight space was my last made up name.

Kay, I'm going to call you george

[ancient totem]

Meeee ?

Please let me share a very fact with you all.

And this is going to sound crazy. But this astronomer Anton i watch on YouTube

He did a video on what it means to be named something

[haughty wraith]

names really are just a social construct

[ancient totem]

You look like the name you are given

No . You look like the name you are given. Tyler looks like Tyler!

[haughty wraith]

names aren't really tied to appearance

[ancient totem]

Your appearance forms based on your name

[haughty wraith]

That's not possible, though an explanation for what you're thinking of is probably the association between the name and someone you know or have seen that has that name

[ancient totem]

It is totally possible and it happens.

[haughty wraith]

you associate the name with a specific face, then if you see someone with that same name you try to draw parallels

[ancient totem]

Brittany looks like Brittany. She lives down the road. I just met her

My dog goes to her house everyday and I have to go get my dog

[haughty wraith]

there is no scientific backing to the correlation between names and appearance

[ancient totem]

If i call you a bad word your entire life . How would that make you feel ?

[haughty wraith]

names are a social construct we developed to make communication easier, they have no effect on genetic makeup

[ancient totem]

You become what you feel like . What you think you are

[merry seal]

honored

[ancient totem]

Yeah. Being given a hard time can shape character. I didn't like being called a clown . I dont think im a clown

Just because someone calls you something bad doesn't mean you become something bad

[haughty wraith]

being called a clown doesn't mold your DNA to make you look better or worse though

[ancient totem]

My hair turing white ?

[haughty wraith]

no?

[ancient totem]

K .

Im not arguing

[haughty wraith]

not really arguing with you, just kinda find it weird that you're taking biological advice from an astronomer as fact

[merry seal]

Other peoples opinions and thoughts is just a perception of their own reality. Focus on yourself!

[ancient totem]

I cannot prove what I say .

[haughty wraith]

I know

[ancient totem]

Its just arguing until proven

[zinc bear]

what is your deal bro

[haughty wraith]

I don't know, that tag is real interesting though

[ancient totem]

You know that person c?

[zinc bear]

yeah theyve been messing with me randomly here

[ancient totem]

Oh .

[haughty wraith]

put it into modmail

[ancient totem]

That is the life of a discord

[zinc bear]

i dont care enough to do so

[runic wagon]

Uhh you’re the one replying to me when I’ve said nothing to you at all so far

What’s YOUR deal?

[ancient totem]

They come and go. As such other things in life

[zinc bear]

[ancient totem]

Let him cook.

[haughty wraith]

[runic wagon]

And of course he tries trolling his way out of it when called on his bs smh

[ancient totem]

Lol
Relax

We all trolls here.

[zinc bear]

[ancient totem]

Ai movie probably

[zinc bear]

[ancient totem]

Oh I didn't know bub

[haughty wraith]

as insufferable as the movie is, it isn't ai

[zinc bear]

the first trolls is peak bro shut your trap

[haughty wraith]

bub 😭

[vagrant kettle]

Rewatched with my sister last week and it was funny

The sequels aren’t the best though

[haughty wraith]

You have no idea how many times I've been subjected to that movie

the movie isn't inherently bad, I've seen it way too many times for it to be tolerable

[zinc bear]

trolls is insanely peak

[haughty wraith]

what

[zinc bear]

who

[runic wagon]

You!

[haughty wraith]

real knee slapper

[zinc bear]

well, i do have it. but i don't see whats funny about it.

[ancient totem]

Let's have some restraint here. Nobody is special.

[zinc bear]

what

[ancient totem]

Let's try to act like normal

[runic wagon]

Eh he brought it on himself, I wouldn’t even be here if he hadn’t replied to me with whatever nonsense

[haughty wraith]

shouldn't be here anyway imo

[zinc bear]

anyways

[haughty wraith]

got a pretty bad attitude

[ancient totem]

Please just don't be bothered by it . Relax. Take off

[zinc bear]

lets just move on

[vagrant kettle]

Deja vu

[haughty wraith]

edm slaps every once in a while

[steady jolt]

Block buttons exist, as does the option of not engaging. I suggest people make use of these tools and options.

Additionally, keep it civil and respectful please

[haughty wraith]

didn't know the atomic heart soundtrack had so many bangers either

[zinc bear]

what is atomic heart?

[ancient totem]

In war and order. The leaders of the game defend me in rhe wc by telling other people to block me

[haughty wraith]

it's like a retrofuturistic game set in the soviet union where robots go crazy or something, only played a little bit of it

[zinc bear]

sounds awesome
is it on game pass?

[obsidian wyvern]

its those ballet robots

[haughty wraith]

got like a 60's aesthetic for most of it

[obsidian wyvern]

it was on gamepass, i dont think it is anymore

[haughty wraith]

it might be, that's what I played it on

[ancient totem]

Its honestly the strongest diplomatic argument in a chat. You can say whatever you want. Cause you can be blocked

[haughty wraith]

you're dragging it

[ancient totem]

Block me

[delicate tusk]

Heyy

[hasty zinc]

omg

[zinc bear]

game sounds cool tho. ill look into it.

[hasty zinc]

take it to DMs or something

[haughty wraith]

it has a very cool artstyle

[ancient totem]

Its true

Its the only way you can stop seeing me

[steady jolt]

Did we miss this, or are we just ignoring it?

[calm fiber]

I don't care who started it; knock it off!

[haughty wraith]

I mean I saw it

that's why I changed the subject

[zinc bear]

atomic heart looks cool
cant believe i havent heard of it lmao

[steady jolt]

And I wasn't talking to you

@ancient totem stop bringing it up

Seriously

[ancient totem]

I remember very well. I have good memory

[steady jolt]

Drop it

Move on

[delicate tusk]

I guess I joined at the wrong time..

[haughty wraith]

I think I saw the trailer when it came out and played it couple years later

[zinc bear]

2 was just announced lmao

[ancient totem]

Your just on time 😆

[runic wagon]

@steady jolt you are so cool being able to bypass the cooldown 🤤

[delicate tusk]

..

[ancient totem]

We having a good time.

[haughty wraith]

On the topic of games set in russia, Metro is a great series, new game just got announced aswell

[zinc bear]

yeah im looking into the game rn. was announced last year but is coming out this year

[ancient totem]

I keep getting told to play metro

[haughty wraith]

Stalker is good aswell, dunno anyone that hasn't heard of it though

[zinc bear]

metro looks so cool dude
my eyes are on STALKER rn but when im done with that franchise ill play metro

[ancient totem]

But i want a game thats like destiny but cab be played offline and has procedure generated

[haughty wraith]

Metro is awesome, though you'll want to play then in order or the story is kind of confusing

[ancient totem]

I been looking and still looking. I have not found what im looking for .

[haughty wraith]

you can get all of the games in a bundle on sale for pocket change occasionally

[normal owl]

Metro Last Light and Exodus are some of the best single player games you can experience. They're wonderful.

[haughty wraith]

My favorite is 2033

[ancient totem]

You've sealed the deal. I shall get it

Why do I listen to other people

Well. Maybe. I mean i dont wajt to just shoot people. I want to shoot aliens .

[haughty wraith]

Metro is mostly people and mutated animals

[ancient totem]

I've been eye balling those star wars deals on steam

Can basically buy every star wars game ever made for 50 bucks

[haughty wraith]

I usually just buy my games on disc

[ancient totem]

Bro game stop shut down. You dont get a disc anymore

[haughty wraith]

I don't play a lot of new games unless they're indie, because frankly the quality has gone down significantly

[ancient totem]

Your confused with your products. You buy online

[haughty wraith]

no I don't

[ancient totem]

Yes you do

[haughty wraith]

How are you gonna tell me

[ancient totem]

Because theres no other way

[haughty wraith]

I have like 50 games on my shelf bought in the last 2 years

gamestop is still in business btw

[ancient totem]

Ok. Your right. You buy the disc

[haughty wraith]

but I don't go to gamestop, I go to a local place that has better prices, game selection, and music

[ancient totem]

Hey bub. What you doing ?

[ancient totem]

It has better music ?

[haughty wraith]

it has music on CD's

gamestop doesn't sell music

[ancient totem]

Oh .

I have like 4000 audio files . Each file some kind of audio. I download

[haughty wraith]

alright

[ancient totem]

I use something called 4k Downloader

[zinc bear]

game stop isnt closed down everywhere

[haughty wraith]

Wouldn't advise you talk about that here btw

[zinc bear]

a few gamestops around me are open. they just closed a bunch of stores because theyre going broke.

[ancient totem]

Why ? Its a paid for app. Its not illegal

[haughty wraith]

yeah the said local place i go to actually bought our gamestop's stock

that doesn't really matter if you didn't pay for the music lol

[steady jolt]

We're not talking about piracy here please

[haughty wraith]

hello again stckr 😭

[ancient totem]

I don't overthink. Im a simple minded person and only remember simple things

[delicate tusk]

Heyy guys..

[haughty wraith]

hello

[runic wagon]

Report him for piracy

That’s stealing and theft

He knows better too

[haughty wraith]

[vagrant kettle]

Who is the coolest pirate?

[night tide]

[haughty wraith]

or jack sparrow

[lilac walrus]

Davy Jones’s

[regal stratus]

Squidward

[lofty cloud]

Remember the pirate from Treasure Planet

[hexed geyser]

guys what Original Xbox or 360 games do you want them to bring to the upcoming Backwards Compatibility Revival

[haughty wraith]

Halo 2 & CE

and BF2:MC

[hexed geyser]

i dont think We'll get a 4th way to play ce & 3rd way for H2

[lofty cloud]

I bet campaign evolved is gonna have some beautiful sceneries though

[naive turret]

Burnout 3 Takedown.
Forza Motorsport 4.
Project Gotham Racing 4.

They can’t because licensing though.

[haughty wraith]

don't see why we can't make the originals compatible with modern consoles in it's original form

[hexed geyser]

yeah i think we'll have a 50% chance we'll get the og ce & 2

i hope we get them

[regal stratus]

Mr. Mosquito

[ancient totem]

Bub

[ancient totem]

Yes . To be honest i want the original exactly as it was made. Just for the sake of having it that way

I want to be able to have access to the original menus and everything. For halo 1 2 3 odst reach.

I remember being like 5 years old barley knowing how to play games. Zoning out into the halo 2 blue screen.

Heavy price paid would play. I would look at everything not knowing what to do

Its necessary

I made my Samsung phone look everything like halo 2. The dark blue colors. Every single menu text app icon. Is all halo 2 theme

The exact same colors

And the reason is actually

Because I use the blue color to remain calm.

Because on war and order . Its very stressful

[runic wagon]

Lmao, what?

[ancient totem]

I work my phone like a battle field

[ancient totem]

Ur sad !

[ancient totem]

And need to get glad !

[runic wagon]

You think the fact he pirates stuff really matters to me? 😒

You’re probably baiting me too lowkey but whatever

[ancient totem]

No. Im not a good troll.

Im funny but im not a troll

[runic wagon]

I see the potential but yeah otherwise you could improve some

[ancient totem]

I don't have the mind to trouble

To troll

I don't know how to insult people well

[runic wagon]

It isn’t necessarily about insulting people though that can be a tactic
