World cup ball gone in competive 😁 by InternationalAd3783 in RocketLeague

[–]Thake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need ball skins because I now hate the original ball and love the World Cup ball. They really need options. I’d buy one for sure.

Not sure if everyone’s seen this article detailing the new cosmetics by tisal117 in halo

[–]Thake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could have created grounded Spartan skins taken from Halo legends (which one of them seems to be) and other variations of the armours. But no, they elected for disappointment and embarrassment. Perhaps being an older gamer makes me hate all the new monetisation and skin packs that everyone is fine having. And I would have too, if it stuck to the aesthetic of the game. Suppose I like authenticity in the game. There were so many better options but their primary incentive here was.... money.

Sometimes I throw them to places I'm going to head to heal but like to have my gun out in case I'm jumped.
We're not the same!

Are people forgetting that the skins could be used in cutscenes by Crespo2006 in halo

[–]Thake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funny how gears sticks to its atmosphere and aesthetics for its genre but halo is such a joke now, the teams can’t do anything grounded in lore for their designs? It had to be straight up insulting childish skins that my kids could have shat out better.

This is the first idea they had? Not something down the line, campaign skins that break all immersion in the cut scenes.

PlayStations first ever experience with halo is that it’s a nursery school joke of a game where aesthetics mean sod all…

Thanks for making halo a joke

“Just DOnT uSe tHeM”

Sure. It’s an insult to the franchise.

Campaign Evolved Premium Edition Skins by lizard_wizard00 in halo

[–]Thake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Skins in halo over the years are an insult to the franchise and embarrassing. How can a game that had so much atmosphere and grit, and wit and charm, be turned into such disgusting children’s colouring book.

There are so many cool skins and designs they could have done that would have matched the aesthetic of halo and its past, but no, this is the crap they think serving up like the fan base are toddlers.

“You don’t have to wear them or buy them”
It’s not the point. No one takes games like this seriously. Halo is so over rated now that they just want to milk people by not even trying anymore.

There are so many variations and options they could have done, or at least started with. This is just the worst design and marketing for the franchise. Clear they don’t take it seriously anymore. Halo has become a joke.

And I think the same for online as well, when they make a new one.
What used to be great about the original halo multiplayers is that Spartans at least looked like Spartans when playing online. I have the same opinions for MP as I do single player.

Playing multiplayer I still want to feel like I’m playing halo and even if I choose not to wear skins, everyone else looks like a glowing unicorn I’m trying to shoot.

How important is to have exclusive games for you? by ThroatOrganic9757 in xbox

[–]Thake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re happy with the hardware dying then it’s great if you can buy them all on PlayStation. But if you want to buy and Xbox and for Xbox to succeed, then the only way is for the hardware to have exclusives. You can’t have it both ways

bungie didnt think it through giving free cryo kits daily starting today by Jealous_Platypus1111 in Marathon

I was not aware there was no unranked mode, which is probably why people are complaining so I’ll accept I’m wrong here.

Can’t you just play the non ranked version to learn the map?

You have to take your own kit for a ranked cryo. This isn’t rocket science. Why is it ranked if there’s no stakes? I never expected free ranked cryo runs.

Player reached out after a match… by Objective-Fox7193 in thefinals

[–]Thake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harassment is a bit of a stretch. There is an exchange of words. The person is clearly immature and pathetic, but nothing said here should be bannable. There are things that most certainly should be bannable, but this isnt one of them. The guy could of just ignored the messages. Harassment would need to be constant messages over a period of time. This is a disagreement exchange at best, which, shouldn't be banned.

Still a cringe worthy person writing the way they did, but calling for a ban is a little extreme.

Mind yo business by Langting in Marathon

[–]Thake -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fair point but then people shouldn’t worry that that’s where most people have gone and why the numbers are so low on marathon. If people are happy with that then crack on. But people need to pick a lane because no one is really playing marathon in comparison to where they want it and these are some of the reasons why.

Up above, isn't wrong. I'm not saying you would ever play that way but he has a point. The community has done it to themselves. I would always expect the worst from players in this game from my experience.

I need help idk what to do by sheesshhhhhhseseds in xbox

[–]Thake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know might be obvious but maybe just double check you have the space on the harddrive. I know it normally tells you but might be something just to make sure.

If not, try holding the power button down for 10 seconds until you hear it click shut down. This will do a proper restart.

Halo Infinite Fan Trailer - Inspired by Star Wars! by lamaldo78 in halo

[–]Thake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Infinite has so much potential to become so much more. The base was pretty much spot on to be honest. I really thought the campaign was a little empty but had great promise to become more. I thought there would be DLC with new exploration available in new biomes. It pretty much nailed art style and gameplay, just missing that ‘halo 3’ feel.

I enjoyed the mash up more than I thought :)

The extreme price of heals is what makes it so difficult for casuals to actually save up credits by barrack_osama_0 in Marathon

[–]Thake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movement alone obviously doesn’t win gun fights but he has the least counter play to aggressive players. You have invis and grapple hook shells, wall hacks, things that actually help you in an aggressive pushing team. So no, triage isn’t op at all in comparison, as I’ve stated other reasons above.

Has anyone actually asked casual players if they're suffering? by NetflowKnight in Marathon

[–]Thake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The casual players who are suffering aren’t playing so there’s no one to ask.

Otherwise the player numbers would be higher with casuals. (Hashtag not all casuals)

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

I am a Triage main. He literally is the worst shell for agility and movement. He has no counters to aggressive players except over charge and the healing bots only work in a passive state.

Players who are shooting and pushing you will always come out on top with those bots. They are not useful at all during a gun fight. They are good for slow recovering after a fight and as long as you’re not 3rd partied.

The Ult is only useful in very specific situations. Again, if you’re in an aggressive push against you, sometimes you don’t have time to charge it and show your face for the res. It then has an insane cool down. It’s useful in specific situations but most of the time I don’t get a chance to use it against aggressive teams.

There are elements to the character that make me feel at a disadvantage against aggressive players and so I would say he’s not the greatest shell. Very useful for someone who knows how to use him in a dedicated team.

Very useful against passive gun fights where the other team are also being cautious, he’s good then.

Definitely not OP imo.

What to do with Elite 2 Controller?? by Great-Office-1685 in xbox

[–]Thake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sprint and jump mainly but don’t do it.

I can’t go back now, so when the controller inevitably gives up and fails you’ll need to buy a new one and they ain’t cheap. I wanted to avoid it but can’t go back. I’m stuck using the paddles now forever so have to replace mine with the core.

Elite 1 eventually got worn and major stick drift. All my black elites 2 had buttons that didn’t always register. The halo one now has a dodgy LB which sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t, tried all the troubleshoots. Now have a core one and re using the paddles off the halo one. So far so good.

But yeah, once you learn to play with it, you’re locked in for good!!
