The most tactical use of the yoinky sploinky I've ever seen

I was playing Halo 2 on Legendary and while switching graphics I realised that this crate is blue while the others arent? And on the anniversary graphics it's just a normal one. Any known reason behind this?

Started in 2024, bought most of them during 2025, just got battle born series, Rion and forerunner trilogy

I haven't really read any of the halo books yet, but I remember hearing how spartan energy shields can tank small arms fire and it just barely drains the shields.

Though I do remember master chief crashing down from outer space though granted if I remembered right he got lucky.

Since other Spartan's who did the same thing either straight up died or are too injured to continue fighting which I find impressive technology to keep the user alive from getting mulched on impact.

Didn’t even know this existed but by the prophets I needed it. It has found a permanent home in one of my car’s disc slots

The Striker Sidekick Variant is the best pistol in the entire series, this thing is almost broken it's so good. Super satisfying to use, feels great, the stopping power of CE's pistol, the fire rate of H2, and lightning fast reload speed.

I was commissioned to make this set of Spartans. Each one is carved from mostly poplar wood then dyed to get the bright colors of Spartan armors.

A journey started 12 years ago, I can finally say I’ve mastered Halo

It’s my first time playing Halo CE, and something about this game has been driving me insane.

I genuinely felt like I was taking crazy pills because the rocks are changing shape! I’m not joking. I looked online, I asked around, and nobody knew what the hell I was talking about. I couldn’t find anything. But I KNEW I saw it happen. I knew those rocks were different.

And now, finally, I have evidence of the Shapeshifting Rock Phenomenon.

I’m somewhat of a halo trilogy collector. Because of this, I buy Japanese Halo’s and apparently Korean ones as well now. In this scenario, I just couldn’t help myself. After spotting this while in South Korea I had to have it. I didn’t know at that point what I’d find inside the case as they tend to wrap them in plastic despite being preowned.

It was rusty on the front and also had a Halo CE attached in the same plastic wrap, pushing both cases together. I bought them. Took them back home (UK), and now I’ve only just opened them.

Koreas an interesting one as the Xbox really didn’t take off there. They were mostly PlayStation based, so games like halo just kind of fell off since the Xbox just didn’t sell. Which is kind of fascinating to me.. as when you do stumble across Xbox related stuff, the shop owners are surprised you even looked twice. Let alone scrambled to buy.

I bought Korean H3 and also Korean ODST as well ;)

Anyway! I opened up this halo 2 today and found code cards and some obviously really rare Korean Xbox live marketing. Honestly such a cool find. Had to share! Tell me what you think :)

A couple weeks ago I got my old Xbox One plugged in again and decided to play Halo 5 again after maybe eight years since beating it and never touching it again.

Overall, it was not a bad experience. It surely doesn't match the level of the other Halo games in the series, it still remains on the bottom of my rankings, but the game itself is not that bad, or at least not as bad as the community pictures it.

The campaign and the overall story could have been made better, maybe with more memorable levels and better writing, but from a gameplay prespective I think it was an improvement over Halo 4 and it added a nice twist with the more fast-paced gameplay, introduced in the previous games.

If I had to give it a rating after playing it again for the first time in a really long time, I'd give it a 7/10, and honestly it was a shame considering all the wasted potential this game had, maybe it could've been used better if it was handed to a better studio than 343.

I was playing TnR on Heroic with some skulls on, and I got to the part before the grav lift where you usually grab an active camo and run past everyone. Why the hell can they still shoot at me as if I never had took the camo in the first place? (Before you ask, I waited a good 5 seconds to give the camo time to activate, since in CE it does that "fade" where enemies are still able to see you)

I'm sure this disc pops up every couple of months but I uploaded a video with basically all the content you'd care about on the disc.

All the other videos are from 15-16 years ago so I figured a dog shit video with my commentary was warranted.

What You Should Actually Do, is check out down below as I've taken the discs contents for preservation sake and put them in a file on the Internet Archive

For Preservation Sake

Alright, enjoy share with Halo loretubers, your friends, or anyone else who would care, or keep the content for yourself.

WHAT threw me

It has taken me 40 hours since the early access came out with preorders and I did this to solidify I'll be a halo fan forever. I've been one since 6/6/2025 and I'll forever be one.

curious with the lower player counts lately on if people are getting more enjoyment from halo 3, reach, 4, infinite, or others? i enjoy infinite and 3 a lot multiplayer but want to know where you guys spend more time. and has anyone tried other games and decided on them instead? the finals, marathon?

Does anyone here have any experience using backwards compatibility on an Xbox 360 (bonus points if it’s the 360 E console) for specifically the OG Halo CE disc and Halo 2 OG disc?

Does the game run relatively okay?

Is it so horrible it’s unplayable?

Anything to know?

Or is it pretty much a good time and resembles very closely the OG feel as if it was being played on an OG Xbox?

Wanted to draw something different.
