I posted my comment, scroll down, and immediately saw you said just about the same thing lol. At least we agree!

I just returned to MCC and have been loving that progression system. The store concept with “the exchange” is also a good way to spend credits outside of linear progression. I also find that I participate in it more voluntarily than compulsory like with Infinite.

“no shields and pistols only”

You’re mad! Playing this in CE is part of why I hate it. The pistol is so OP in open spaces and that’s all this map is. Can’t believe you’d play no shields. I vaguely remember the H2 remake of it and only ever played team snipers in the Reach remake. It’d be good to see it in a playlist…

I usually hate Mr Beast’s content but this was actually really well done and seemed like a lot of fun.

Absolutely beautiful work. Love the colors, scenes, and style.

I always see/hear Hang em’ High being regarded as one of the best maps but I don’t think I’ve ever had a good time on that map. It’s so big and open and just weird.

Coincidentally, I had an epic flag recovery/save in OT of Avalanche in H3. I still have the theater clipped saved too!

My understanding/experiences is that it’s not always ironic or negative in connotation and sometimes synonymous with “big brain”. The following sentences don’t suggest it’s negative.

Probably developing the aimbots now XD.

Grind for BP? Buy BP? Or do this?

Not that people haven’t been doing this forever, but BP systems definitely inspire more of this.

They should’ve done this with Dune.

Idk, there are plenty of aliens in the show that would most likely be completely CGI in the show which may or may not work. I don’t know how well it would do though since the story is not terribly original. It wouldn’t be filling any gaps that star wars, star trek, or the expanse couldn’t imo. That’s why I think it’s…

“...combined with its competition’s poor reception”

This made me laugh because, while BF may be more buggy, they’re both categorically premature and another example of a downward trend in initial quality.

“...in a truly galaxy brain move by Microsoft, launched a few weeks earlier than initially announced.”

Was it though? It seems like they could’ve used the extra few weeks and still released on time.

I think there’s plenty to work with in the ME universe for this sort of thing to work. Just like other adaptations though, part of what makes the series special to me is the fact that it exists in a medium that complements it (video game in this case) where your experience is uniquely derived from your actions. Not to…

Don’t worry, everyone blocks out the disgrace that was the H3 pistol. Reach’s pistol felt fairly balanced between its power, rate of fire, and bloom. I still maintain that the AR/Pistol combo in that game was the perfect balance. I think Infinite put too much power into the AR while subtracting from the pistol and…

I’m level 5 now and the only things I’ve unlocked are gear that can only actually be unlocked through the premium battlepass. It’s such a slap in the face. I’m scheduled to unlock a visor color for level 6 and if I finish my impossible weekly challenge I’ll get...a different visor color. I ordinarily could care less…

IT’S BEEN A WHILE.

I’d love to see a team with these in a Nightbird just merc-ing vehicles.
