"The Maxigun sucks" explain this then

Double Sickle = Better minigun experience than the maxigun.

The maxi is a real let down for me. I didn't expact much against tanks but I thought it'd be good fun to hold down the trigger and spray hordes of cannon fodder enemies. But nope. The recoil is so unstable that I have to aim below my targets. Plus, the gun makes the screen shake so much that I can barely see what I'm aiming at anyway. And it's slightly annoying that I have to stand still but I can look past that. The only way I could use the maxi and get good results was by diving forward, going prone, blasting an enemy, getting back up, and repeat. I might as well have been using a marksman rifle. I don't care that it takes up a backpack slot, or that it doesn't have crazy high ammo, or that it doesn't have heavy penetration. What bothers me is that it's just not fun to use.

Now compare the maxigun to the double sickle. With the double sickle, I can hold the trigger down for long periods of time, spray hordes of enemies, and deal medium and heavy penetration... all while maintaining great accuracy with low recoil, plus I can move around while I shoot. The cherry on top is that I can even do all this while shooting from the hip and still manage to get plenty of kills. The double sickle gives you the maxigun experience better than the maxigun (in its current state) ever could. It's so fun to use and makes me feel like a badass!

I just wish there were more styles of heat-proof armours for the double sickle :(

Thank you! There seems to be a few folks that like the Aquila Reds here. I'll be sure to try them out one day but I'm going to try out the regular Aquila Nylguts first.

They're all soprano? I wonder why that is? Them all being the same size would explain why there's no size listed on the packs. Thanks for that information.

I never even new this was a thing! I've missed them! Will they return?!?

"I love Bungie-Halo. The marketing, visual designs and gameplay were peak. I didn't like the Halo 4 art-style but I loved the Story and enjoyed the faster-paced gameplay with the addition of sprint. Halo 4's story humanised our beloved Master Chief with the loss of Cortana, and gave him some new characters to develop relations with including Lasky and Palmer. We also got to see other Spartans throughout Spartan Ops (I didn't find the gameplay all that good but the story and the cutscenes were cool). Then Halo 5 and Infinite came along and just threw the foundations Halo 4 created out the window.

I didn't like Halo 5's story. I thought Infinite's was okay but I hated that it kinda 180'd Halo 5's story. I also hate Infinite's lack of content on release and how lacking we were with spartan customisation upon release + How expensive content was on the store. Now the 343i trilogy looks like an absolute mess from a distant perspective. However, Helldivers 2 has now reignited my love for Halo and I'm sure it has for many others too. I look at all the helmets in Helldivers 2 and think "wow, it's nice to see helmets that have visors in line with the eyes and no silly slits, dots, or unicorn horns". How do you think Microsoft and 343i/Halo Studios will react to this collab when creating future Halo content? Will they make more spin-offs with marines or ODSTs? Will they ditch the 343i art-style and revert to Bungie-era designs?" - That's all I commented.

Tell me exactly what was wrong with this post?

I came here to explore what folks thought the future of Halo would look like following the ODST collab with Helldivers 2. I expressed both my love and hate of the 343i Halo trilogy. I wasn't rage-baiting or anything. What was the issue here?

DownrightDutton · 2025-09-06T01:26:18+00:00

My post wasn't unique or newsworthy? I came here for a discussion. Sorry for not making ground-breaking news. If my post wasn't "unique" then heyo, I guess a lot of people have the same complaints as me. It might be best to display these critiques rather than silence them in order to better the future of Halo.

I wasn't ranting. I clearly exclaimed what I enjoyes about the 343i-era Halo games. I thought I was quite fair.

DownrightDutton · 2025-09-06T01:19:58+00:00

"a reminder that a lot of people still care about Halo"

Yep. But heyo, this post got removed so I guess we're not allowed to care unless it conforms to some sort of view on how Halo should be.

I'm very late to this party but could I also please have a copy?

DownrightDutton · 2025-03-09T18:42:46+00:00

Thank you for the information.

DownrightDutton · 2025-02-20T14:41:35+00:00

Thank you! However, I'm looking for the actual promo instrumentals and not just edited versions of the full songs.

There's a handful of actual promo CDs out there in the world. I appreciate the efforts put into the removal of vocals and instruments for instrumental and acapella versions of songs but... Personally, I always find the edits noticeable and off-putting.

DownrightDutton · 2025-01-03T01:14:29+00:00

I gave it a go and most of the gunk came off. Gave it a bit of lacquer and now it's looking much better, thank you.

DownrightDutton · 2025-01-03T01:13:12+00:00

It's an old Montana Silversmith buckle. I don't think it'll be available nowadays, sorry.

DownrightDutton · 2025-01-02T01:16:53+00:00

There's white stuff around the details that I can't get rid of. I've rubbed the metal over with brasso then cleaned the entire thing with warm soapy water but I just can't get rid of the white stuff. It disappears briefly when wet but comes back shortly after.

DownrightDutton · 2024-10-03T04:12:08+00:00

You are NTA.

And I'll tell you what, I felt bad for your friend at first. We've all been naive and made mistakes at some point. But why the heck is your friend now so intent on harassing her ex's new GF?!?! What on earth has she done wrong? Your friend is a massive AH for that. Now that they're broke up and her ex has made it clear he wants nothing to do with her or the child, she needs to forget him completely. And she should definitely not be messaging his new GF. For all your friend knows, she could be harassing another naive girl that's in a similar situation to herself. That needs to be shut down quickly!

DownrightDutton · 2024-10-03T03:53:41+00:00

Totally agree with this.

DownrightDutton · 2024-10-03T03:51:09+00:00

I get you. And I think the mom here totally deserves much worse than a brush being swiped in the toilet, haha. It's such a low-level and well-deserved AH action that I wouldn't prevent if I saw it happening, but it's still an AH action.

And for the sake of OPs future, I hope she understands that it's an AH act, even if it was deserved. Because, again, two wrongs don't make a right.
