Home for shitty takes about Halo & gaming in general. I also retweet some neat stuff too like Forge maps. Don't harass people. DMs open. π

Today I learned killing aliens and electric guitar are exclusively right wing.
This is along with the narrative that apparently the left would just let themselves get glassed by the Covenant, for some reason? Let's just blame it on 'wokeness' or whatever, I guess...
What part of Halo did you think WASN'T rw?
The super soldiers?
The fighting against alien?
The military centric story and cast?
The male chorus harmonizing over an electric guitar?
The tiny naked blue lady?
Halo is about the indomitable human spirit violently refusing defeat.
Bro I still remember when you had to switch teams manually to play Infection, and now you can make Tower Defense, Horde Mode, even full blown campaigns in Forge. Just...holy fuck man...the future is actually looking pretty bright with some more QoL polishing.

Welcome to a brand new Halo Infinite experience -- Tower Defense Ultimate!
1800 scripting nodes and 17 days of no-lifing the Forge AI update and I've made a mode I've always wanted in Halo π₯Ή

My biggest fear for Infinite is that it reaches the state MCC and Halo 5 matchmaking are at where it's fucking miserable to play if you're soloqueuing or in a duo.
I am so goddamn tired of getting rolled by four stacks when I'm stoned and just trying to play a little Halo.
Honeslty hiring Michael Salvatori and not hiring Marty would be such an unbelievable fucking chad move that I'm convinced 343 doesn't have it in them to do it.
halo is a franchise saddled by the insane decision they made one score years ago to have your enemy be 75% little dumb trolls who fire two shots and then scurry around waving their arms screaming wahhhhh in a high pitched voice what even is this stupid game
1. This is the Halo studio lol. Like it or not, they're not 'replacing 343'. If 343 goes, so does Halo.
2. Can we save the stupid multiverse shit for Marvel movies?
3. "Hey I didn't like the last three Halo games, maybe if I arbitrarily shuffle staff around that'll change!"
I could censor this post like usual, but everyone would know who the guy is because there's only one person who DMs people to constantly talk about how he's better than everyone.

Proof that the anti-woke brigade will use literally anything as an excuse to talk about 'political correctness' or 'being woke' or whatever moonbrain shit they're on at the moment.
That trailer was pretty fucking great, I thought.
Lootboxes blew, I think we can all agree, BUT this new shit is so much worse. Now every game has a season pass that you need to grind challenges for.
It went from free gear with an optional slot machine for more stuff to getting a part-time job you have to pay for.
I played one last game of Halo 3, went positive and won by a large margin so I decided I'd end on a high note. Once we got to the 40 kill mark I started getting choked up and even now, a good ten minutes after I finished the game I'm crying like a baby.
343, I promise you no one wants to do these fucking 'stop an enemy killing spree' challenges.
I'm convinced at this point they're only still around to get people to buy challenge swap packs, change my mind.
Been busy but I like when I posted this in response to a shitty take and people jumped on me in the comments to say how it wasn't true. Then to prove it wasn't true, they gave examples of it being true lol.
This in particular was a take I never got (the 'can't have weapons with the same roles part'). I enjoy all the weapons being useful while having difference nuances because then it was all down to personal preference, not 'use this weapon because it's the good one'.
That's why people are tired of hearing from the old school fans. Even nice gestures are just met with constant hostility. Not even allowed to say "well that's nice" without including some dig at 343 because if they don't they...lose all their integrity or something.
Bro shut the fuck up for once in your life.
It's a tribute to the legacy of the Franchise, and its honestly a cute Easter Egg.
Even the name of the room is cute.
I understand the opinions of people who are upset with 343 over their abandoning of some aspects of the Halo 4/5 era, but they ultimately serve at the pleasure of the community. Most of the community disliked a lot about those two games, so elements like the Prometheans are gone.
"We're anxious for Halo Infinite, right,because the industry is just so dry."
Also wants Infinite to be the 394th game with a BR mode.
Streamers are the worst fucking thing to happen to video games I swear lol.
Saw this meme posted on r/Halo which I disagree with. Not a super shitty take, but I liked the boss fights in Halo Infinite. Could have done with a Scarab battle or two, but yeah...
Season 2 confirmed for six months and their roadmap doesn't even really talk about anything much outside of Season 2. No look at beyond Season 3 besides some vague metaphor in 'drop pods' of QoL improvements.
First thought: wow holy shit
Second thought: where are these pylon enemies in *my* games? I try that and I have six Sidekicks aimed at my dome piece instantly before I even hit the triple, much less the naire...
Played a Fiesta game right now, Rocket and Sword fest as always. Have a challenge for killing a Spartan with the Sentinel Beam in PVP 0/1. Get two kills with a Sentinel Beam. Finish the match. 0/1.
GOD this game is a pile of fucking shit lol.
There's a skull that adds wacky dialogue to the game and an entire class of enemy, voice acted in such a way that they're basically comic relief characters. You pilot a dude in power armor as he kills aliens and zombies in space. Get over yourself lmao.
General response to people who say Halo Infinite's microtransactions are better than H5's because they 'don't have filler'.
I would buy the standalone War Master helmet that I used in H4 and 5, I will not pay 12 bucks for this bundle that has 12 items, 11 of which are filler.
Reminder that 343 employees follow this dude for some inexplicable reason.
What does Moses even do? He's considered popular in the community and I have zero idea why other than the vague explanation of 'he does esports stuff'. Like what tho?
Cherry-picking two things that look alike compared to the myriad of ones that don't is a shitty way to make an argument.
Example in pic 2: did the BR just rip off the FAMAS or M16 designs, or maybe, just MAYBE, UNSC guns are based off real life guns?
First pic here is funny to me. For 1, Haruspis literally works at 343 now so... 2, Haruspis is apparently a year younger than me so I guess I wouldn't make that imaginary cut-off for veteran either? I've played this game for 18 yrs, any actual sport, I'd be considered old af.
It's not just sad, it's downright depressing to see the game have so much sheer momentum and just start grinding to a halt because of the issues below the surface. There's a LOT that needs to be fixed, and I don't know if the game can survive waiting until Season 2 in May...
Imagine seeing someone drop a 42-0 game and implying the loss was partly their fault lol. Even ignoring the fact that the game is designed to sandbag you with horrible teammates from time to time, how do you even do better than this?
I almost wanna see if these articles are in fact written by the same person but then I realized I don't care because the takes are steaming hot bullshit anyway lol.
I would react like a full blown zoomer Twitch streamer if I hit this in a game. Like straight up MOM GET THE CAMERA territory and I say that with absolutely ZERO shame. Holy fuck.
PSA: You can repulse sniper bullets in Halo Infinite
(and hit headshots)
one of the hardest, but sickest things I've done in a Halo game. it was so rewarding once it connected
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got from the head professor of my major in college was 'underpromise and overdeliver', it seems someone finally whispered that to 343...
"Wow the official Halo page blocked me? Fucking censorship much? All I did was tag them regularly to tell them how terrible they are and celebrate the studio head leaving like I won the lottery. They must just hate REAL Halo fans" - absolute and complete clowns.
There's no legit reason to lock emblem color customization to a few specific palettes and they already knew that this preset color system was bullshit because they tried it with H5 and people hated it then too.
Another aspect of 'we hear your complaints but we know what's best'.
Not really Halo related but I don't understand for the life of me how people can say Game Pass hurts devs and publishers.
Rockstar put GTA V on GP, then it left, then it came back, and now San Andreas Remastered is on Game Pass day one. If it hurt sales, why would they do that?
343 continuing their proud tradition of implementing playlists people want extremely late and with aspects the community doesn't like, then removing them shortly after when they're underperforming.
They have literally done this with Halo 4, Halo 5, AND Infinite lmao.
2021 - Remember Reach
2022 - Remember Reach
2023 - Remember Reach
Yo, when can we start the Forgetting Reach event? Instead of a playlist or event pass we just agree with cyberbully people who used Armor Lock back in the day.
What's your biggest pet peeve in Halo multiplayer? Mine for Infinite (and 5) when teammates just flat out don't fight for power weapons or powerups even when their spawn is announced on the map. Countless games lost because my team just gave the other team rocks/camo every 2 mins
Well that's a new one, I never heard this 'I want Halo Infinite to flop' argument come from someone PRO 343...so that's something, I guess.

Overall I was wrong about my assumption that the community would explode after the multiplayer reveal. There's a handful of shitty takes but that's to be expected and generally speaking, everyone is pretty happy.
I'm really glad we got to this point.
We've really gotten to the point where we're defending cores eh?
People are gonna have armor styles you don't like. I don't like the EVA helmet, you don't see me demanding it get restricted from use...jfc...
Everyone was saying Halo Infinite was gonna be DEAD when MW2 dropped. Seeing all the complaints so far about MW2, I'd like to retroactively declare those to be shitty takes lol.
Infinite's microtransactions suck, but I really wish people would remember why map packs sucked too. They divided the community into smaller groups and after the DLC playlists were removed, you rarely ever saw the maps again unless they were required for a playlist.
A game that was hyped up as a great first-party Xbox title but ended up being a mediocre buggy 6/10 average glitch fest, destined to fall out of public consciousness almost as quickly as it came.
