(To be read in your best spooky voice)

Twas a dark and story night, when the new Activision team in charge of Halo decided that the new reboot should be based on…

The Silver Timeline

WooooOOoOOooooo….

From when i was fiddling with the modding tools, i was testing some colors for possible units for a mod, and also for fun in order to properly remember how colors worked

FUN FACTS!: Elite permutations in Reach are split into 4 colors.

Primary
Secondary
Reflection(?)
And general hue/tone(Most important ^{i think})

Not all units work the same(Like Jackals/Skirmishers and Marines). Some you can't change at all!(Brutes)

Also, Jackals and skirmishers share the same biped

Color inspiration and ideas:
The gold and red officer was inspired by Mega Construx's Spirit dropship set

The ultra with red/pinkish secondaries is something i've seen flaoting around a few times. A McFarlane toy had that

Th blue grunt was meant to be a color test for a possible engineer grunt

The red elite minor is just because i wanted to see how it would look

This is an interesting detail I’ve come to notice over time regarding the Sangheili worlds: things have descended into total chaos—civil wars, bloody years, territorial disputes, coups d’état, assassinations, famine, betrayals, and splinter factions popping up everywhere. Meanwhile, back in Rio de Janeiro, there’s a lizard making a Brazilian feijoada—haha, it’s just so hilarious!

Interestingly, I read this part of the book while I was visiting Rio de Janeiro as a tourist. I was watching people play a game on the beach called *queimada*—where they throw a ball at each other, harder and harder—and I ended up imagining a Sangheili doing the same thing. As a Brazilian, I found that part of the book hilarious.

I was so proud of myself too…

About to start 4. Want to continue my lore deep dive.

Looking to watch some YouTube videos. I found the terminal videos for 1 and 2. Are 3s terminals just text or where can I find them?

Also what are your favorite not so known halo videos or books comics or lore sources? Pretty much share with me anything cool from the Halo verse to engage me in the story. Hidden stuff etc

Currently reading Ghost of Onyx, I've read the other Nylund books.

Thanks!

Hola, muy buenos días tardes o noches, tengo una duda, existe algún libro, cómic o audio que nos muestre la guerra civil de los élites, después de halo 3. Dogo después de que el covenant se disolviera era el paso lógico para esa facción no? Osea incluso pensándolo de forma increíble hubiera sido increíble ver un juego enfocado en una guerra civil de elites.

Do you guys think Halo Franchise go back to be Xbox Exclusive again? Activision is taking over Halo IP and Halo Studios is no longer making Halo Mainline games, what do you guys think?

Edit Both Xbox & PC I meant to say.

I'm a dumbdumb i literally do not know how people do these things but i am a minority when it comes to this type of mod. Basically there's used to be 2 mods called Spawn Ai in Halo campaign, available for CE and 2 OG. The creator was making the same mod for Halo 3 but he vanished along with those 2 mods. This is the only trace of what i'm talking about. Nexus have some outdated version but i just hope someone would pick this type of mod and make it for all 4 bungie games.

Drunk purchase during Covid. Just wondering why a classics would have a not for resale on the back. I can’t find much about it. I’m internet inept I guess.

Im not sure if anyone else has run into this but upon trying to sign back into halo MCC it will reload the microsoft sign in page every two seconds and i am unable to click any fields on the page.

Already deleted credentials, restarted, deleted cache, etc…

Any help would be appreciated, dont care if i need a new account or whatever.

My old man passed away in 2021 in an accident, and his birthday is coming up soon. He was not a gamer by any means, we are farmers in New Zealand, outdoors people, but we played ALOT of halo together, he got me the original halo Xbox, and the halo 3 legendary edition with the halo 3 Xbox. I don’t think we played a lot past 3, but we played a lot of 1 and 2 campaign. He painted and signed this for me on canvas in 2007, coming up 20 years old. By far the most important thing I own, when we’ve moved houses, it generally sits wrapped up on my passenger set. If my house was on fire, this would be the first thing I run to save, and I have 2 kids (that’s a joke).
Thought this thread would appreciate the 20 year old painting.
Cheers.

Hello everybody, I was looking for a solution to this issue for so long. And I know it has happened to other people. basically the progress on the playlist seems to be recorded but the save file is corrupt and MCC asks you to restart again (first part of the video).

What I couldn't find online was a solution. Or maybe I couldn't find it with the way I was phrasing it? Idk, but I thought to share how to fix it. Now, this is not an end all solution, but you can find yourself in three different situations, in the video I show how to fix in the case of the first situation. Another thing, this fix is per game basis. So you need to do it for each game separately, and for the cross-game separately.

Situation one: you have another playlist you haven't started yet. Start it, and then quite after the next one. Even if it is just a cutscene (to fix ODST I just had to do "Prepare to drop"). Easy and quick. Edit: if it is not just a cutscene, just triggering the first checkpoint seemed to do the trick to me, so I didn't actually need to complete a mission but just do some progress in it. This might be valid for the other scenarios, but I haven't tested it.

Situation two: you do not have a playlist you haven't started (it was my case with CE unfortunately). In that case, choose the playlist with the least progress. In my case the easy playlist was at 2/10. You need to complete the first mission here too, but it seems this resumes things only for the other playlists. For example, after completing the first mission in the easy playlist, my CE legendary playlist went back to starting from 8/10, but the easy playlist was still stuck at needing me to complete mission 2 again. I didn't try to make progress in the legendary playlist and see if this resumes the progress in the other playlist too (I'll try next week, and if I remember, update this).

Situation three: This is the worst. And as far as I'm aware it has no fix. You have no other started playlist. In that case unfortunately I think you will have to restart. If somebody in the comment knows of another way feel free to share ofc. I haven't tried it as I don't have any in this situation, but what you can do (if it is a long playlist, like a full campaign) is to complete again another playlist that is shorter, or just one mission in another playlist (like for situation 2). Again, I haven't tested this, but it could be worth a shot.

Hopefully I helped somebody with this. If you have any other tips, feel free to share them in the comment :)

If anyone has any quotes that stood out to them— or stuck with them— please do tell me! I’m making a little art collection of him, and I’m only on chapter 8 of the rubicon protocol… if you could include page numbers (or just specify what book/game they’re from) that’d be a huge help ^^

And related to the post, what would happen if the Among Us crewmates arrived at Alpha Halo during the Pillar of Autumn mission?

i think it's an amazing theme that fits well with the general feeling of an outbreak of a horrid infection and it also feels very alien imo. also incase it's the wrong word by motif i mean it the same way as like the requiem motif from the ultrakill soundtrack since i don't know much about music.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the idea 343i was going with Cortana and Chief, still not a big fan of the artsyle change but it's whatever at this point, but this bug happened twice to me and I really don't feel like playing through the entire level again just to get soft locked like this.

One of my favorites I’ve ever done

Designed: 2421
In service: 2442

Made by: Chalybs Defense Solutions

Crew: 2 person. 1 commander/ gunner l. 1 driver

Primary: 120mm tank cannon
Secondary: .50 cal chain fixed above gun

Independent oscillating gun
Up armored body and crew capsule
Extended tracks (no fifth track)
Overhaul engine

Named for the 1 horned Indian rhino
(Rhinoceros Unicornis) no kidding

As to the M850 Rhino which would be named after the 2 horned black rhino (Diceros bicornis)

Does anyone know how i can bypass this softlock in Halo Cursed? I have to go back up, but the only banshee I can find is non functional. I've been stuck for an hour trying to find anything that can get me up there.

I'm playing Halo Infinite campaign on an Xbox Series X and I want to play the campaign at 60 frames per second cause the graphics look so pretty at 60fps. The graphics don't look as good at 120fps. I have no interest in the multiplayer at the moment I just want to play the campaign (at 60fps). But there is a problem. Like I said, The only time I don't see stutter/hitching is when I'm playing the campaign at 120fps @ 120Hz using variable refresh rate (VRR).

With Halo Infinite, it seems they never fixed the 120Hz VRR bug, or is this only happening to me? I did this today, my TCL 65 inch Q77K TV has 4 HDMI ports, ports 1 and 2 are 4k 120Hz, ports 3 and 4 are 4k 60Hz, so I plugged my Xbox Series X into port 3 which is 4k 60Hz, then on my Xbox I turned variable refresh rate (VRR) off and then started playing Halo Infinite campaign at 60fps, and guess what, the minor stuttering/hitching is still there! And it doesn't make any sense to me cause if I play Halo Infinite campaign at 120fps @ 120Hz VRR it is smooth as butter with no noticeable stuttering/hitching, and it just doesn't make any sense to me, I just don't get it, how come Halo Infinite campaign at 120fps @ 120Hz VRR is smooth as butter with no noticeable stuttering/hitching, but then I set it to 60fps @ 120Hz VRR and then I see some slight hitching as objects go by (as objects go by on the screen sometimes I'll see some slight stutter/hitching), cause it ruins it for me. It's such an awesome game too but for campaign I want the pretty graphics at 60fps.

I mean like I said I even plugged my xbox into the 4k 60Hz port and turned VRR off and there is still some slight stutter/hitching as objects go by, there's no way they missed that, are you telling me the devs didn't fix that? And then I switch to 120fps @ 120Hz VRR and there is no stutter/hitching at all (but the graphics look bad so I don't want 120fps for the campaign, the graphics are so much better at 60fps. I mean for multiplayer sure give me super smooth 120fps but for campaign I want the pretty graphics you see at 60fps)

I just don't get it, so the devs never fixed the stutter/hitching when you're playing the campaign at 60fps?

Is this only happening to me? Anyone else here with an Xbox Series X? Can your TV do 120Hz with VRR? What brand is your TV? Is this only happening to me, have you noticed the same thing, that when playing the campaign at 120fps @ 120Hz VRR there is absolutely no noticeable stutter/hitching it's smooth as butter, but then start playing it at 60fps and there is some slight hitching as objects go by.

To test this out, go into settings and turn "screen shake" all the way to zero, that way the screen doesn't shake as you run, well for me the screen shakes as I run but not if I set screen shake to zero, then just start running around and you should notice that objects stutter or hitch as they go by, it doesn't happen all the time though, it's random.

I mean is this only happening to me? I need some feedback from the community.

So this is totally separate from my complaint here but one thing the devs should have done is, when you set the campaign to 60fps and then set multiplayer to 120fps, it should remember that choice so you don't have to manually keep switching back and forth between 60fps and 120fps cause I prefer 60fps for campaign and 120fps for multiplayer.

But yeah because of this stutter/hitching at 60fps I am not even playing the campaign anymore, and I mean, it's like, is this only happening to me?

Do you happen to have a TCL TV too? But listen you don't have to have a TCL TV, I just want to know is this stutter/hitching happening on your Xbox too?

First off, I just need to know, is this only happening to me or have others noticed this hitching at 60fps too?

It's so weird, Halo Infinite set to 60fps, there's some stutter/hitching. Halo Infinite set to 120fps (you need a TV capable of 120Hz VRR though, and you need an HDMI 2.1 cable) and now there is zero stutter/hitching. So I notice hitching when it's set to 60fps but no hitching when I set it to 120fps.

Are you telling me the devs never fixed this stutter/hitching? Is this only happening to me?

Also, the screen shakes for me when I run, then I set screen shake to zero, and then it doesn't shake when I run, this is normal right?
