You can use the Scorpion Gun throughout the campaign, but can never drop it, as it will disappear. It also doesn't respawn where you can get it initially. It's almost a must for a LASO playthrough.

Village is better in almost every single way and is a finished and complete product.
What? Halo infinite doesn’t have time travel
Damn, if this was by The Sun, Times or Observer we could make it a thread full of praise

You sure about that?
What time travel are you talking about? Please explain what scene contains that. I have to ask, did you even play the game or just watch videos?
Did played it and loved it.
Same here, I’ve spent 10 hours trying to figure out why it’s getting game of the year awards. I like Halo 4 and Halo 5 more so far. The enemies, bases, weapons, the scenery, it’s all so incredibly samey.

instead of just posting a triggered smiley, please say if things change later. Do I have anything different to look forward? New scenery or enemies or something?
That's no excuse not to play it. unless you are afraid.
On a semi related note, going back to Halo 3 in the MCC and going forward… and looking at the books. Any advice on how to play and follow the lore in the “proper” order? So many books
.
Bullshit it is.
To be honest, there is so much written I have no idea. I'm pretty sure there is a youtube video out there that explains the order of the books.On a semi related note, going back to Halo 3 in the MCC and going forward… and looking at the books.

You are right. When The Weapon opens up the last portal, it sends the Master Chief three days into the future (at least for the MC and The Weapon). It's why Echo 216 is so surprised and happy to see the MC, as he figured he was dead.

), and halo 4 and 5 are important for the lore, but there are also books and comics in between each of those games that are important (which i havent read), and then there is halo wars 1 and 2 (which i havent played).
so only lore that happens from the events of halo 3 and onward...?
well if you really want to get into the lore, you need to read fall of reach, first strike and ghost of onyx and contact harvest (which all happen before halo 3). there is lore in those books that needs to be well known before you can start to understand the story they unfolded after the events of halo 3. on the MCC, make sure you find and watch/view all of the terminals in halo 1 - 3 (the anniversary collections included some really important cutscenes, you can just look up a youtube video with all of them in a supercut). youre also going to want to read the the greg baer forerunner trilogy (cryptum, primordium and silentium).
additionally, 2 other things you might want to watch, the halo legends animated anthology (some of them are great, some of them are horrible, but there are little tid bits of info in the good ones that help flesh out the universe), also halo: forward unto to dawn (movie) if you want to get more familiar with Lasky and co, but those two arent necessary.
from there, its kind of complicated. halo: reach muddles some of the lore with contradictions and other weirdness but mostly keeps things intact (but it definitely retcons a few things, some like to say "clarify" but
i havent read anything past the forerunner trilogy, and usually wind up just looking up what happened on youtube whenever a new game releases and i want to catch up on the lore. from what i hear, the newer books and comics arent as good, but some of them have essential lore events that you need to understand in order to keep up with all the changes that have happened in the universe. as it is now, im kind of lost lol, but still mostly understanding whats going on. but because i read most of the material leading up to Halo 4, im way better off than those who never had a good foundation for the lore.
im sure someone else could explain all this better, so dont crucify if im mixing up details
its honestly just easier to watch a youtube video that summarizes everything. heres a couple good ones. the first 13 minute long one covers most everything, but the other two are longer and more detailed if thats what youre looking for

Scorpion gun?
I guess when you say their “halo” franchises I could agree somewhat. But only a few of their IPs seem to get that halo treatment nowadays. One could also argue BOTW suffers from a lot of the same issues halo seems to have while still being a great game.
Well start with Halo 3 terminals, maybe read the Forerunner trilogy books by Greg Bear and play Halo 4. Also Halo Wars 2, the antagonists in Halo Infinite were introduced in Halo Wars 2 but you can just watch the cutscenes in YouTube. The lore that Infinite is going forward with involves characters first mentioned in Halo 3 terminals then expanded with Forerunner trilogy books and formed the basis of Halo 4. Installation 00 made a video of the Halo 3 terminals with voice acting if you hate reading and this includes all the extra bits in legendary mode. The "Didact" in these terminals is Iso-Didact aka Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting, not Ur-Didact from Halo 4. Except for Terminal 6, where the Librarian meant Ur-Didact when she said "my love".On a semi related note, going back to Halo 3 in the MCC and going forward… and looking at the books.

, amazing thanks go to you and

that took the time to compile this.
The more I play the game, the more I think I am starting to share your opinion, specially the one on MC (I enjoy MC interactions with The Weapon but that is mostly because of The Weapon); minus the Halo: Combat Evolved changing life thing - back then you could not get me to play any type of first person shooter.
