So Destiny was created through a very long lucid dream.
I don't see anything new so it's just a regular Xbox update i guess.

Which playlists were you trying to play in?
I played several matches of HCE last night, no issues.
TS, H2, H3, THC.
Were you playing solo?
Yes.

That's the spirit, Jem.
Aye, if you can't beat 'em, join them.

I've come to view the main menu as a symbol of the sorry state the MCC has been delivered to the unwitting consumer. It's shaped like a halo, but completely fragmented, missing expected features and functions, with a Gregorian chant for a funeral dirge.
Oh damn, was not aware it was that big. Edited.
51MB? Well, that explains why Chrome threw a hissy fit.
Thank you.
Here's a nice extension that puts a band-aid over Chrome's fucking atrocious handling of gifs. Basically tries to display them all as .gifv's.

Same for me last night, nothing in H4 playlist, nada and hard reboots etc. Went Destiny raiding instead.
Funny thing is between the Destiny X1 and MCC issues, matchmaking and party/chat patches that reddit post about the multiplayer API is looking more and more on the money.
orbiting around a sun that's been put inside slipspace. the gravity and mass still exists, therefore the asteroids can orbit it.
ship it
Weird man. Lately when I've been playing solo, I've been getting consistency for once.
Hmm, I'm not entirely up to scratch on my Halo faux physics. However can slip space be maintained in one position like that?
It would be somewhat possible for a ring of rocks to be "orbiting each other", at least temporarily. The scale doesn't really work, but whatever.
Temporarily is an understatement. It would be ridiculously unstable and wouldn't form unless you could somehow instantly remove the original mass it was orbiting. It certainly couldn't form without a body being there before hand.
Aren't the rocks orbiting the small star and dust cloud at the center of the screen? Or is that part of the planet behind it.?
That's what I initially thought. However you can see that the star and asteroid field are in front of the planet. Which would mean that planet is obscenely large.
I suppose it could be a neutron star however the planet would be torn apart at that distance.
Basically it's a load of rubbish.
I don't actually care btw, I just noticed it and thought it was mildly amusing.
i've never really read the extended lore, so i dunno
I always assumed halo's idea of slipspace, ships have to choose to travel through and can decide to stay inside of it as long as they want. so you could sending something into slipspace and just.. not have it move.
edit: my joke post seems to not hold
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Slipstream_Space
"Slipstream space is a specific set of seven dimensions existing in a very small bundle. While these dimensions are present in normal space, they do not have an effect on the physics of normal space."
basically space magic and i'm too lazy to link to the 'correct' wiki.
"The Forerunners had a far greater understanding of Slipstream space, with the abilities to travel nearly instantaneously over galactic distances, to disrupt slipstream travel from normal space, to create bubbles of Slipstream space, accelerating time, slowing time considerably inside (or even a complete time lock) while keeping the contents of the bubble visible in normal space, to store considerable mass and volume in Slipstream space stably for thousands of years and potentially for all of time, and to transition matter from normal space to the inside of a construct in Slipstream space without requiring the construct to transition back to normal-space."
so basically the Forerunners could make slipspace do whatever the hell they wanted it to.

Playing Titanfall this past week has reminded me how nice it is to find lobbies quickly.
Haha, so apparently the forerunners had super space magic.
Edit: wow... You know what, if it annoys you that I post so often I'm going to keep posting. Honestly, I don't give a shit if you don't like my opinions.
Destiny gives me the same feel. Even random co-op mode lobbies take less than 60 seconds to fill and launch. Wish MCC worked.
You are way too fucking mad.

Isn't there a planet in the center?
The ring looks like it circles in front of the planet rather than around it though.
Edit: I'm surprised this post has actually caused any discussion. It was only a joke
Space clouds are quite pretty though.

Yeah, that main menu image doesn't make too much sense. It proudly continues the tradition of space clouds from the Reach intro, because that's totally how space works.

You did? I still never know what deadalius is talking about.
I'm pretty sure the Turkish flag is accurate astronomy/cosmology. Pakistan is just a poser.
Mauritania is the real winner, though.

Yes, but slightly ridiculous astronomically... personally I picture Reach having shiny specks moving everywhere around it with some larger stationary shiny things for the MAC platforms, etc due to the space infrastructure it supposedly has. This is naturally all nitpicky, and I know it.
Personally I admire Angola's "Sickle and Hammer with a twist!" approach.
Oh yeah it's completely ridiculous. "space clouds" are technically possible, nebulae are exactly that. However they wouldn't exactly be very hospitable.
Yup, it's very nitpicky. Oh well

nebulae are just condensed areas of hot gas and dust, a cloud is condensed water...
not the same "look" or thing at all

Guys.
It's a Mil Sci Fi Space Opera.
The "scientific accuracy" ship sailed a long-ass time ago. Halo can only aspire to consistency at this point (which it actually does fairly well).

For some reason I couldn't tell if you were complaining about Jem or something else. I brain farted.
haha
Maybe. I dunno. Looks fine to me. Maybe 343i (or whatever outsourced company) has just created one of those optical illusions that can be taken 2 ways. (Distance is hard to gauge in space, and .... things.)
If so, we should stand up and clap.
