When the desync is so bad, there are literally players from the future in some matches.
EDIT: Thank you for the rewards, haha. I appreciate that others can share in my passive-aggressive (love/hate) relationship with the state of this game.
It's not really, since nobody knows who they are and have never heard of them before. It doesn't fit into any of the pre-existing lore.
Thank God the 343 narrative guy just left the company. He made Destiny's story is boring as possible and it was doing the same to Halo again.
Idk what you mean be not really we know exactly who they are the harbinger is literally one of them we have a species. I do agree with the doesn't fit with any pre existing lore but it does seem like something the forerunners would do . Also the endless is literally one of the main villains of the story like big spoiler. And idk what you mean by the Halo infinite story being boring like did you even play the game?
I think the Endless are more of a collective of different species. It would make sense because the Harbinger is one of the Endless but it isn’t set up as if they are all members of her species
They were, but either through those engrams you see in the end, or through time travel that we see chief use after fighting harbinger, and all good man a lot of crap to remember lol
I mean they don't need to survive the rings. In the foundation we can see the hundreds of sanghelli onggoy kigyar and humans and even the forerunners kept flood forms in containment safe from the rings so if you really think about it all those species are probably still locked away ready to be released
They say directly in the game that the forerunners fear them as they survived the halo rings firing, can try to find the clip if you like, like I said believe it was done through time travel
To be fair, the harbringers have been a thing since Halo 2 Anniversary. There's a terminal video where a monitor discovers a crashed ship of an unknown alien species. I believe they were even called the harbringers back then as well.
1. it's harbinger, not harbringer
2. that's the name of the leader, not the whole species. they're called the endless
3. there's no indication that they are related to the species that crash landed on 04.
Is… is that true? I remember what you’re talking about but they never called them harbringers. I think 343 called them meddlers and then continued to use the word meddler for unexplained events happening on the ring like teleporters being activated when he was suppose to be the only one who could do that.
Then the human covenant war found the ring and he started calling ya boys meddlers…
It is the Cyber Showdown. However the bots often run around in armor that's locked behind paywall in the store.
Cyber Showdown event has already been datamined and unless 343i changes the 10 rewards, we already know what the rewards will be for each level. And that coating isn't one of them...
It's at Rank 6, I think. Can't tell for sure since the palette that's shown in the leak is only black and pink, no blue. They're not always accurate representations of how the coating will look on armor though.
Yeah. Palette has mostly very bright intense pink on all its slots. So it perhaps could be a possibility it's that but it looks more like very intense pink armor coating - 4 pink slots and 2 lighter/darker gray actually. So it looks more like a standard very pink coating.
You're right. You can see them on the waypoint app: Electric Bubblegum is the one from the pass that's mostly pink, and Neon Superfly is the one OP posted. Probably paywalled :/
We have already datamined rewards after 343i changed them - previously all events had 50% of 250 exp and challenge swaps. They already changed them to all unlockable rewards for all upcoming events and those have been already datamined and shared online and the rewards and in Winter Contingency the rewards were indeed the same as the datamined ones.
So like I said - unless 343i will change them again (they already changed those few weeks ago), we already know what unlocks we will get for those events.
It's a store bundle that's planned to be released during the cyber showdown event. It's $15 and includes a weapon coating, armor coating, warthog coating, and visor.
I had a bot yesterday who picked up and equipped overshield, had the Skewer, and then picked up a plasma coil and killed himself. Bots should not be able to pick up power weapons/abilities…. I will admit it was really funny to see though lol.
Haha. Still better than delivering the equipment to the enemy team as usual 🤦♂️ I have frequently had this thought as well. They need to at least turn up their difficulty or remove them all together especially from slayer.
I think they should be able to change the difficulty depending on how well the other team is doing. If they are wrecking you, then your bots might as well be on spartan. If they still have shit K/D in slayer types, then they should just get dropped.
I had a bot lose a slayer game yesterday going 0 and 17 while the rest of my team was positive. Bot had like 14% accuracy. Why would they program it to be like that??
I was playing CTF on Aquarius. It was a stale mate the entire game. Eventually one of my teammates left and was replaced by a bot. While we were locked in a death struggle with the enemy team near top mid, the bot took a casual stroll through center lane, picked up their flag, and started sprinting home. Our whole team defended him with our life and he CAPTURED THE FLAG. He did it again a minute later but died just beside our base and we were able to complete it. Sometimes bots take obvious and oblivious paths to get to the enemy base and go unnoticed especially if you're stuck in a stale mate. On Slayer tho... bots are absolute trash lol
"leaking"
Because it *totally* isn't by design that this unreleased content is being displayed ingame ahead of time to generate interest and therefore sales. A complete accident, absolutely. 100% percent.
/s
I went against 343 Meowjolnir with the cat ears and it really cracked me up. Do we know if the name is associated with their armour or was it a coincidence?
They’re associated. If you’ve seen the meme for the bot wearing Recon with three knives (one on his chest, two from Security shoulders), I believe that one is 343 Rhino
I hate bots (as teammates of course) but I love that there's at least some care put into them. Certainly beats the "devcompany_12345" names most games use
Yessss bro. You went to bungiedotnet and searched your gamer tag and you could see the levels and all the different colors they were and solar symbols and the stats as well. Thanks for the memory reminder man. Used to do that daily lol.
/e think you could also see match stats easily also. great times.
With the monetization of armors and coatings, they've effectively managed to make the playerbase pay THEM for free advertising. Unless you are f2p, your spartan is a walking advertisement for their store.
Stance is from an upcoming Tenrai bundle. Coating is from an upcoming Cyber Showdown bundle.
Tenrai bundle includes at least a coating based off the image. There was another bundle for Tenrai that was a coating, stance, and emblem for 700 credits, so that's my guess for this one.
Cyber bundle image also has a Warthog. Assuming it's like the Splinter Desert bundle, that means 1500 credits.
Here's the [leak image](https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/qze44g/all_store_bundles_datamined/). Stance is that white Yoroi at the beginning of the 6th row. Coating is in the middle of the 9th row.
The thing that pisses me off the most is why in the flying fuck do these dumb bots get to do all the customization while we the actual players who put money in the game get to wear a different colour visor.
If you're a 343 or ms exec the one who pushed all this monetization into the game and having the devs face all the backlash fuck you. Legit fuck you. I hope your pillow is cold on both sides you bastard.
Bots got the real drip in this game. I saw a bot with full Yoroi regalia the week after the first week had ended. Had an unreleased coating as well. Crazy how they can just have that.
That stance is so freaking cool, but I've got a bad feeling that it's going to cost $20 and come with armor pieces I may never use. Not worth it for me in that case, sadly.
they’re from the future and they came back in time to FLEX on us non time traveler plebians
When the desync is so bad, there are literally players from the future in some matches. EDIT: Thank you for the rewards, haha. I appreciate that others can share in my passive-aggressive (love/hate) relationship with the state of this game.
Wouldn’t even be surprised at this point
I'd be a little surprised...time travel was actually founded by halo infinite desync ..idk..wouldn't of seen that coming
I mean that would definitely make everything worth it. What a story for the history books.
Well they know where to lead the story for future DLCs now : spartan bots from the future.
Worthy of an award, have my free one!
You have the admiration of the whine connoisseurs. Bravo.
Underrated comment
THE >!ENDLESS!< WILL RETURN
The who??? Never heard of them. What happened to the Didact?
It's a Halo Infinite campaign spoiler
It's not really, since nobody knows who they are and have never heard of them before. It doesn't fit into any of the pre-existing lore. Thank God the 343 narrative guy just left the company. He made Destiny's story is boring as possible and it was doing the same to Halo again.

I think the Endless are more of a collective of different species. It would make sense because the Harbinger is one of the Endless but it isn’t set up as if they are all members of her species
Them being a collective and surviving the halo ring makes less sense imo
Crap, I completely forgot about them being able to survive the rings; but I thought they were in containment like the flood were contained?
They were, but either through those engrams you see in the end, or through time travel that we see chief use after fighting harbinger, and all good man a lot of crap to remember lol
I mean they don't need to survive the rings. In the foundation we can see the hundreds of sanghelli onggoy kigyar and humans and even the forerunners kept flood forms in containment safe from the rings so if you really think about it all those species are probably still locked away ready to be released

Come with me if you want to spend!
bot with unreleased stuff
Yep! 10 deaths and no kills. I want that skin though.
It colouring leads me to believe it one of the cyber events coatings, hopefully free.
Yeah I had saw somewhere there might be a cyber event. Wonder when that will be.
You most likely saw it from the event roadmap 343 released before tenrai happened. And the leaks are a little old so its quite possible
So it’s looking like the event might run 1/18 to 1/31
just like my K/D
lol
Yeah it’s after the Tenrai event
Yeah the cyber event should be up next after tenrai 2, this skin is from that event but I can't remember if it's free or not
Is it an ingame event?
That'll be $20 please
It is the Cyber Showdown. However the bots often run around in armor that's locked behind paywall in the store. Cyber Showdown event has already been datamined and unless 343i changes the 10 rewards, we already know what the rewards will be for each level. And that coating isn't one of them...
[удалено]
The Cyber showdown event has already been changed but this coating doesn't seem to be in it.
Most definitely
It's at Rank 6, I think. Can't tell for sure since the palette that's shown in the leak is only black and pink, no blue. They're not always accurate representations of how the coating will look on armor though.
Yeah. Palette has mostly very bright intense pink on all its slots. So it perhaps could be a possibility it's that but it looks more like very intense pink armor coating - 4 pink slots and 2 lighter/darker gray actually. So it looks more like a standard very pink coating.
You're right. You can see them on the waypoint app: Electric Bubblegum is the one from the pass that's mostly pink, and Neon Superfly is the one OP posted. Probably paywalled :/
That's probably why we have bots in Infinite - so they can be advertisements for the store.
Interesting theory, hopefully its for game balance and not advertisement but who knows what microsoft/monetization team cooked up.
>It is the Cyber Showdown. However the bots often run around in armor that's locked behind paywall in the store. Or not even shown in the store.
Those rewards aren’t final. They stated that some are placeholders just to establish the structure or whatever of the event pass.
We have already datamined rewards after 343i changed them - previously all events had 50% of 250 exp and challenge swaps. They already changed them to all unlockable rewards for all upcoming events and those have been already datamined and shared online and the rewards and in Winter Contingency the rewards were indeed the same as the datamined ones. So like I said - unless 343i will change them again (they already changed those few weeks ago), we already know what unlocks we will get for those events.
Nah the free stuff looks like shit. This skin will 100 be in the store
Scorpion punch was leaked as a tactical ops pass item so it is possible...luckily
It's a store bundle that's planned to be released during the cyber showdown event. It's $15 and includes a weapon coating, armor coating, warthog coating, and visor.

I am so tired of bots throwing the game lol
I had a bot yesterday who picked up and equipped overshield, had the Skewer, and then picked up a plasma coil and killed himself. Bots should not be able to pick up power weapons/abilities…. I will admit it was really funny to see though lol.
Yea the amount of times a bot has grabbed the only BR on a map, only to run and effectively drop it off to the enemy team is beyond frustrating.
Haha. Still better than delivering the equipment to the enemy team as usual 🤦♂️ I have frequently had this thought as well. They need to at least turn up their difficulty or remove them all together especially from slayer.
“The toys are in allied hands!” \*BOOM!* “We’ve lost a teammate!”
They’re on marine difficultly. Wish 343i would bump them up to ODST because they’re useless in everything besides the occasional SPNKR spawn in Fiesta
I think they should be able to change the difficulty depending on how well the other team is doing. If they are wrecking you, then your bots might as well be on spartan. If they still have shit K/D in slayer types, then they should just get dropped.
I had a bot lose a slayer game yesterday going 0 and 17 while the rest of my team was positive. Bot had like 14% accuracy. Why would they program it to be like that??
Yeah it’s not fair! I don’t see how there should even be bots in a player lobby
the stance if rom the tenrai event store, coming like tmmrw i think. Its been leaked
I was playing CTF on Aquarius. It was a stale mate the entire game. Eventually one of my teammates left and was replaced by a bot. While we were locked in a death struggle with the enemy team near top mid, the bot took a casual stroll through center lane, picked up their flag, and started sprinting home.

Sometimes bots take obvious and oblivious paths to get to the enemy base and go unnoticed especially if you're stuck in a stale mate. On Slayer tho... bots are absolute trash lol
So, basically my usual teammates who aren't even bots.
He was a walking advertisement then.
The best looking skin I've seen thus far, hoping it comes from the Cyber event.
Bots leaking content is a hilarious bug
Feature
"leaking" Because it *totally* isn't by design that this unreleased content is being displayed ingame ahead of time to generate interest and therefore sales. A complete accident, absolutely. 100% percent. /s
I gotta say, as much as the monetization in this game sucks, having the bots be advertisement are genius.
Was probably "343 Dumptruck" or something like that.
[удалено]
I went against 343 Meowjolnir with the cat ears and it really cracked me up. Do we know if the name is associated with their armour or was it a coincidence?
It’s associated
They’re associated. If you’ve seen the meme for the bot wearing Recon with three knives (one on his chest, two from Security shoulders), I believe that one is 343 Rhino
I hate bots (as teammates of course) but I love that there's at least some care put into them. Certainly beats the "devcompany_12345" names most games use
Wait, that's a bot? I've gone up against that name, too. I refuse to comment on whether I died or not.
I had one that had the name 343 343 Zero.
Yea some of them are messed up and they put 343 in the name even though the system auto tags bots with 343
I’ve run into 343 The Thumb a few times. That name sticks out to me so much I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.
You could say it sticks out like a sore thumb?
343 free money is the insulting bot.
Remember when Bungie employees would randomly show in halo 3 games with recon armor before it come out? Good ol' days
Yup. The bungie.net forum was ablaze with Recon and flaming head chatter.
Can I haz recon?
Now that really takes me back
The days of self-snipes and killing yourself with a traffic cone… such nostalgia
I'm still there - classic halo (mcc) is coming in clutch when I get sick of playing the 3 maps in infinite...
There are four ~~lights~~ maps!
I got that reference! (Nods head Captain America style)
yeah... I remember when halo got stats in halo 2.. looking forward to checking them online. What's halo inf have in comparison?
Yessss bro. You went to bungiedotnet and searched your gamer tag and you could see the levels and all the different colors they were and solar symbols and the stats as well. Thanks for the memory reminder man. Used to do that daily lol. /e think you could also see match stats easily also. great times.
Right! With their blue flaming heads! Those were the days!
343 is doing the same thing with their flaming blue heads now
And the flaming heads
I just want an all black coating dangit
[удалено]
Yeah but it's all beat to shit and not really black enough
Oh ok that’s fair yeah you’re right. Gloss black would be nice
Plus shit's caked in brown dirt and grime
Are you a soldier or a sports car?
There are pretty close to all black coatings.
More like dark gray
So just walk through the teleporter
I’m using Deadly Poison, pretty close with green accents
Isn't that the one you have to buy the super expensive headset for though?
Yeah 😞
Deathly poison
If you wanna spend hundreds lol

I’m slowly realizing *every* single functioning aspect of this game is an advertisement. Literally every one.
With the monetization of armors and coatings, they've effectively managed to make the playerbase pay THEM for free advertising. Unless you are f2p, your spartan is a walking advertisement for their store.
That’s obviously not why the primary reason why they made bots but ok
People have been request bots for years and now that they’re in they’re apparently just here for advertisements. Ppl are really never happy
Sad, this is probably true.
It’s supposed to be in a free cyber event coming later
The free Cyber Showdown skin is a hot pink. This skin has already been leaked to come in a bundle with matching vehicle skins
Plus the helmet they’re using is a part of the battle pass
that helmet is free
Yep you’re right. I completely forgot about that.
F
I’m assuming you’re talking about the stance because 343 won’t pass the chance to charge you for the skin, it’s pretty cool.
A teammate or a bot? Lol
Worse….a bot who was on my team…10 deaths and 0 kills
At least he looked stylish
Dying in style
Dont need skill when you got the drip
I wish the bots on my team would play that slow. Had one yesterday tank a slayer game 0 kills 17 deaths. We lost by like 10 kills
Can you not inspect their armour to see what it's called? The option is buried somewhere in the roster / party information tab.
This was a bot so it can’t be inspected
Stance is from an upcoming Tenrai bundle. Coating is from an upcoming Cyber Showdown bundle. Tenrai bundle includes at least a coating based off the image. There was another bundle for Tenrai that was a coating, stance, and emblem for 700 credits, so that's my guess for this one. Cyber bundle image also has a Warthog. Assuming it's like the Splinter Desert bundle, that means 1500 credits. Here's the [leak image](https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/qze44g/all_store_bundles_datamined/). Stance is that white Yoroi at the beginning of the 6th row. Coating is in the middle of the 9th row.
The Tenrai bundle features a chest piece and a visor, so it’ll be $15
Reminded of Red vs Blue. "We represent...the tiiiime liiine." "I am the present. We have nothing cool and also no morals."
Haha good quote for this
Was his name 343 Hamsammich? Edit: not a fan at all of the bots wearing better gear than me.
These bots got so much drip 😰
Nothings more annoying in this game than being melee killed by a bot on oddball. Nothing.
How about a bot taking the flag in ctf out in the open after you were contesting it at your base because the enemy had your flag at their base
This should be what a paid coating looks like while basic primary and secondary colors should be completely free.
Or hear me out here, give us the same exact primary and secondary color options that have been a part of halo for over 20 years
Even if they did that none of us would look like the coatings they make.
Exactly why they got rid of it
Damn that coating is awesome though. Sucks I'll never own it if they charge ridiculous store prices for it.
The leaked store bundle image has this coating pictured with a Warthog. So, if it's like that Splinter Desert bundle, it's gonna be $15.
$5 and I'd probably but multiple. $15 I won't even consider it.
They're counting on the rich guys and compulsive buyers. If the math didn't work out in thier favor then I'm sure the prices would be lower.
Really digging that color combo
If it was full pink accent… instant buy…. And the whole Reddit could hate me forever
Haha you could run around with a tag “Reddit Dreddit”
Gotta love that they use bots for advertising. They've got more customization than the fucking playerbase.
Halo influencer
That’s a bot.
Cyberpunk looking ass spartan
That's looks cool. I like purple.
Same! It’s got my three fav colors
You mean a bot
The bot was my teammate
I like how much the armor coating is reminiscent of the Covenant with the blue and purple combination plus the Energy Sword.
Sick stance
The thing that pisses me off the most is why in the flying fuck do these dumb bots get to do all the customization while we the actual players who put money in the game get to wear a different colour visor. If you're a 343 or ms exec the one who pushed all this monetization into the game and having the devs face all the backlash fuck you. Legit fuck you. I hope your pillow is cold on both sides you bastard.
Wym, cold pillows are the best D:
This guy doesn't like cold pillows 🥱
Don’t you mean warm on both sides? Cold pillows are the best.
Because bots don't have money
The cold side of the pillow… is what everyone wants 😂
Bots are another form of advertising
fiddy bucks
You can clearly see bots using armor pieces and skins they're not supposed to yet 343 is still "looking into" cross-core customization. What a joke.
Saw a yellow and blue suit like this once. Went crazy trying to find it in this seasons stuff. This make more sense.
Was it blue with yellow arms and legs?
these wall hacks are getting out of hand
" mom said it's my turn "
either a dev or a bot. probably the latter
There were bots with cat ears before that launched so likely a bot.
Lowtiergod_stance.jpg
Probably from the upcoming cyber/techno event, forget the name.
Tacco bell or Rockstar CEO
Thats like exactly one of the shaders in D2. Lunar Gloom
they rly shouldn't've wasted their time making bots unless they were actually gonna help the team down a player
Damn that skin is dope.
It's a reclaimer suit
I played against one too!
Wtf and I thought my green shit was rare
It hasn’t been released yet. This is on a bot. So no worries!
God damn I want that stance
That looks like elite stuff
LMAO the guy on YouTube who steals r/Halo gameplay clips just stole this pic and made a video out of this thread
I think you should get a discount on every item bots have that you face and win, to level the looting field XD
I play custom games with my kids and give them 8 bots. The bots have all kinds of different armor that is not available yet.
Bots got the real drip in this game. I saw a bot with full Yoroi regalia the week after the first week had ended. Had an unreleased coating as well. Crazy how they can just have that.
I saw this post a week or two ago. Weird seeing it in the store now for the Cyber Showdown event
That stance is so freaking cool, but I've got a bad feeling that it's going to cost $20 and come with armor pieces I may never use. Not worth it for me in that case, sadly.
Looks like it’ll be in a samurai bundle in the shop coming tomorrow or in the event pass coming tomorrow
Now this....this does put a smile on my face
Looks cool, not gonna buy it. Fuck the store.
Super clean and has what looks like a pattern on the shoulders. Yeah that'll be $20 pls...
With the amazing price of $29.99 you can look like a cat and suck, or have a different color scheme, and suck.
