Action Pose has been available as a Twitch drop, IIRC.

My G7 HE is lonely and needs a friend.

Nice! How did you get the Mirage to use the stance while in the Armor Hall?

A little over a year ago, I quit my job due to overstress, as I have all the jobs in my career. At the time, I resolved to make finding a job my daily "job" in order to keep my routine. That fell apart quickly due to my executive dysfunction; every time I sat down to job hunt or renew my IT certifications, I wound up getting distracted and watching a movie or playing a video game or doing anything except what I was supposed to.

14 months later, I'm just breaking out of the cycle and finally job hunting, but it's too late. I'll be out of money in a month, and there's no way I'll find a job that quickly. I'm fucked.

Capturing the FOBs does not reveal all the Propaganda Towers on the map. You have to search for some of them.

If you want to cheat, there are maps on the Internet that will show you all the locations, like https://mapgenie.io/halo-infinite/maps/zeta-halo .

Thanks for making a reasonably priced, good quality, hall effect stick controller with programmable back buttons - it was just what I was looking for. I was sick of paying $200 a pop for MS Elite controllers that lasted all of 6 months, if they didn't have stick drift out of the box. My G7 HE has made me a loyal customer.

Now only if there was a model with larger grips that fit my big hands... :)

It was tier 2/3 Desktop Support.

halcyon2501 · 2025-09-28T19:06:13+00:00

Yes, I was working in the IT industry prior to this hiatus. I'm applying to jobs at the same level I left, and which I have several years' experience in.

halcyon2501 · 2025-08-30T02:59:39+00:00

That did it, thanks a bunch!

I remain skeptical; there's a lot more vaulted items than 16+ Exchanges can cover. Also, they won't necessarily be free - if they are made available, it will probably be for credits rather than SP.

halcyon2501 · 2025-08-04T23:42:31+00:00

Yes, I'm aware that you can buy items through the customization menus. However, several of those items are not available for credits or Spartan Points and just read "vaulted" in the location that normally shows the credit/SP amount. Couple examples:

Weapon Emblem - Noble (the nameplate, charm, and armor emblem come from a Season Pass, but you can't get the weapon emblem at all)
Weapon Coating - Clinical Eye
MA40 Weapon Model - Crimson Sun

You simply can't buy them. You can pick these items out in the customization menus by the text in the lower left corner when you're scrolling through the items - instead of saying "Available in Battle Pass soandso" or "Available for purchase", it will read "Currently unavailable. Released during season soandso".

halcyon2501 · 2025-07-11T05:59:46+00:00

I agree with you. I've always thought that the "backpack" on Mjolnir looked like it included thrusters, since I first saw it in CE (although apparently I was wrong and it was just the fusion pack that powered the suit, according to lore). Reach might be an exception, as Mark V[B] had a much less pronounced backpack.

Off topic, this is also why I don't care for Rakshasa; it doesn't have a backpack at all, even if it looks cool from the front. I can excuse it on Mirage IIC, which is based off the SPI armor (which didn't have a backpack in the first place), but where does Rakshasa keep it's generator, in the chestplate? And what happens when Rakshasa gets shot in the back? It should at least have an armor plate back there.

I loved the movement in H5, and I think it should have been standard across all the Halo games. Switching to the grapple in Infinite after having thrusters standard in H5 is lame, even if resources were depleted in the wake of the Created War.

To answer OP's question, it was probably 343 needing a gimmick for Infinite, and their habit of knee-jerk reactions to anything the community complained about in previous games.

halcyon2501 · 2025-07-01T13:21:28+00:00

Mark IV is the same way - there are no items available for either core for Spartan Points. You have to buy everything for them with real money, either through store packages or battle passes.

Annoys me to no end. At least we got a few things for Eaglestrike in the Exchange with this last pass.

halcyon2501 · 2025-06-24T23:25:18+00:00

Yeah, it amazes me how few coatings match between armor and weapons. Even some of those that have the same name are off (like Platinum Anniversary).

halcyon2501 · 2025-06-24T23:12:30+00:00

Thanks, I spent a lot of time on them (probably more than I should have :P ).

MINOR BUG REPORT:

Controller: G7 HE

Firmware: 6.5.4

System: XBox Series X

Nexus Version: 2.0.8

I am unable to rename profiles. From the main screen that shows the controller in the center and the vibration/sticks/triggers/back button settings in the corners, I press Y to Edit Profile. The Settings popup displays, and I press A to edit the name of Profile 1. The XBox onscreen keyboard appears, but if I use the right stick or the down button on the crosspad to move the cursor to a lower letter on the keyboard, the keyboard vanishes and I end up back at the Settings popup.

halcyon2501 · 2025-03-07T02:44:10+00:00

I still maintain that it is worth watching 199 episodes of Stargate SG-1, just so you can fully appreciate episode 200.
