Sometimes I feel like I'm on ignore here. Is there or is there not a conclussive answer to the argument that there is only one ranked hopper (per input)?

It wasn't that way in Halo 2/3. :P

Yea, because there was literally nothing else to play back then for the majority of their lives. 😅

I'd never ignore you bb. I mean they said 3 ranked hoppers for each input method, so I think that's pretty conclusive.

I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, and I admit it could be (and possibly should be) interpretted that way, but all I hear in the video is them listing 3 hoppers - not saying these are the 3 hoppers (again, am I wrong on this!?). It may be a stretch, but I think its an important distinction.

I'm mainly basing my assumption on the fact that they seem to be focused on the bare minimum at launch to focus the population. I wouldn't bet against the 3 based on what they've said in that video though.

Ok cool. Literally tryng to make sure I didn't miss something on this. To be as clear as possible, it seems like it's just the 3 ranked hoppers (based on input only), it just didn't seem 100% confirmed by my reading (and still doesn't).

But bring it on. Skill based mathcmaking will play a role in all hoppers, ranked or social, and I don't think things like radar or no radar will be exclusive to ranked vs unranked.

I'm like 99% certain they just mean there will be 3 selections in Ranked and when you pick one you still pick playlists like Slayer and Objective.

Lol "Bold Bur3n Wrangler" I'm guessing you got from mods giving freebie tags? You didn't even tell us! We all could've had tags in this thread, like "Radar is bad for gameplay Member" or "I'm trash at Halo Member" for Moose or "Conductor of the Bad Opinion Train Member" for jem.

Pfffft, I would've hit up this thread and told everyone to claim, or at least PM'd everyone except Ram about it.

Totally joking btw lol ❤️ But still unforgivable.

Kinda bums me out we won't get any of the classic Mountain Dew GameFuel for Infinite since they moved the brand over to shitty energy drinks. Those Halo 3 cans just hit different.

Y'all are too funny 🥰 Can the thread feel the luv in the air? Let it carry us into December 8th, when the servers won't work and Forerunner will still be grinding MCC for unlocks, HTupolev will still be playing CE on an original Xbox like a champion of the people, and Trup1aya will still be debating about how clamber limits you from shooting and Four Thousand Reasons why that's bad.

I like this community too much. RIP zoojoo

The only sensible solution, IMO is that people choose Mixed-Input or Single input- and the system creates matches that honors everyone's wishes.

Of course that's probably not how it'll end up working…

Yes it does my friend.. Yes it does.

Who gives a rats ass about Sora. Next Smash needs to be a full on ICONS OF ENTERTAINMENT platform fighter, so imagine gaming + anime + comics + whatever.

Mario vs Master Chief vs Kratos vs Goku

It's the only progression that makes sense for the series 😎

Dec 8th can't come soon enough.

it's the day Infinite launches and is also the day the vaccine mandate takes effect at my job. The relief after all the build up to both of these events gonna be euphoric.

I didn't see what those tweets were, but last night I saw Mint Blitz comment on a store listing pic of Infinite that said episode 1: prologue. Probably was fake…maybe. lol

A new "Become" marketing trailer.

Trailers showed 2 people scanning their face and then becoming the Master Chief. Little CGI scene of them fighting Brutes.

Thank you.
I regret my curiosity.
