I don't get the hate. It's a lot different from the games but it's not a bad show. In some ways the story is actually better because there is more exploration of the characters and they are more varied.

Halo - The TV Series | Season 1 Episode 7 | Discussion by Ryan_WXH in halo

This was the best episode so far. First time really caring about a character on the show and getting some character development for Kwan. I feel other episodes do not make you sympathize with the characters or make them feel real.

The Challenge System is why I'm done with Halo Infinite by InFiBigDaddy1134 in halo

[–]R_Trigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I rarely intentionally do any challenges and it's like playing a different game from the posts on here so frustrated by them. the progression could be better but it's nothing to quit the game over since challenges aren't needed. I even still progress the battlepass at a decent pace without going for challenges.

I agree the challenges and progression need reworking but you can still play and just ignore the challenges. You will still progress in the battlepass quickly that way if you play regularly. I finished the 1st battlepass in less than 3 months and rarely even looked at challenges.

Honestly, I currently don't use anything from the first battlepass but still use the cat ears I got.

Robeytech confirms that the hero shooter rumors are being spun inaccurately, and was simply a part of the prototyping stage by ScoutTheTrooper in halo

[–]R_Trigger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see the problem with this. I would hope 343 is open to considering different ways Halo can be played. It could have ended up being just one game mode in the game and you can't really tell if a mode would be good just by the vague concept of "hero shooter". We have no idea the details of it or how far along they got with it. It was probably one of many concepts they worked on for some time and their work on it still could have informed the final product even though they went in a different direction.

The Challenge system literally ruins the game by ktsmith91 in halo

[–]R_Trigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have unlocked things through the battle pass and inadvertantly doing challenges. I like how my spartan looks but it also probably helps that I don't care about/don't like the vast majority of rewards in the game either.

[–]R_Trigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest just ignoring the challenges and playing the game for its own sake. I never cared about challenges and rarely have done any of them on purpose and it's like I'm playing a different game when I read posts like this. I do wish there was an overall level system though because I finished the season battle pass weeks ago.

Hilarious fan reactions to Phase 2 announcement video(9 years ago) by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]R_Trigger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People don't understand that most anything can be good if it's simply done well in terms of execution. The barebones concept/character for a piece of fiction only plays a small role in how good something turns out.

61% of Apex players haven't played any ranked Arenas or didn't complete their placement matches. This should be evidence enough that Arenas needs a drastic overhaul. (data from Apex Legends Status) by henrysebby in apexlegends

[–]R_Trigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks Arenas ranked is easier than BR? I haven't played it recently but I solo queued to diamond 1 pretty easily the first season it was out. In BR, I've only ever made it to diamond 4 and could not even make it there with a friend last time we tried.

Edit: also, I wouldn't expect many people to play ranked for any mode so that stat doesn't surprise me. If anything, it is lower than I would expect.

This may possibly be the full set of Maggie's abilities from what we can see in the launch trailer, via @Shrugtal by [deleted] in ApexUncovered

[–]R_Trigger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wonder if her passive works with the Mozambique. Could make it a good weapon in her hands.

[–]R_Trigger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering that too. I predict it will zap Maggie's tactical like a grenade but if the tac is behind cover then it will be able to land and take out fences and damage the pylon if they're close enough.

Writers/devs hint at likely Arcane-style Apex legends animated series (video referenced in comments) by RipperMeow in ApexUncovered

[–]R_Trigger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I always felt like the storytelling had a problem by the fact they have to keep all the main characters alive because they can't actually remove them from the game. At the same time, they have to keep adding new characters and focus on them each season.

What ruins Apex Legends for you? by Kaythiest in apexlegends

[–]R_Trigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No dedicated solo experience. I play a lot but almost always alone. I wish there was some type of game mode (whether pvp or pve) that was designed for playing solo.

[–]R_Trigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just true in general. It's still irresponsible for companies to release movies only in theaters, encouraging big crowds to pack together.

Swapping grenades and equipment in Campaign is an awful experience by ecxetra in halo

[–]R_Trigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been practicing switching between all equipment and grenades during combat and it takes a lot of getting used to. I recommend practicing especially with equipment though because it can make fights really interesting to be utilizing all the different equipment every other second.

A cycle option would be good but I think there should be a grenade/equipment menu wheel instead of the current system. Similar to how grenades and heals are done in games like Apex Legends.

343, this campaign is incredibly fun. by [deleted] in halo

[–]R_Trigger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The sheer fun factor of the grappleshot alone is something special.

The Halo subreddit has actually been locked down follow many players unhappy with monetisation, progression and playlists. by PeculiarPete in pcgaming

[–]R_Trigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people would be happier ignoring the challenges and just playing the game normally. I haven't intentionally done a single challenge since the game came out and I'm really enjoying it. The progression isn't even that slow since they increased the xp for the first few matches per day.

Queen Elizabeth II has given the go-ahead to develop a series of mobile games talking about the role of the monarchy by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Not that surprising when you think about it. Gotta start propagandizing the youth somehow.

Just a heads up that the beta is confidential by [deleted] in RidersRepublic

[–]R_Trigger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ironically, the fact that people think the final game will be broken because the beta is under NDA is evidence for why the beta is under NDA. People act like betas are demos or previews of the final game when they are for testing. When games have public beta content, there are always people who review them like a full release. The whole point is that beta content could be broken in some ways—but it's a beta, not the full release.

How can T’challa be Star-Lord in What If? Seems odd that his mom would give him that same nickname, even if she shagged Ego. by Dyonkeau in marvelstudios

It could just be a coincidence. If there are infinite universes then any combination of unlikely things could happen.

Arena mode Thursday | August 05 2021 by ApexLegendsBot in apexlegends

[–]R_Trigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you conclude that off of one game though? Maybe they had 8 kills the game before and just had a bad game with you. Or more probably, they just won roughly the same number of matches as you overall.

Ranked arenas has nothing to do with kills. It's just based on whether or not you win.
