  @ThelVanDamne @asha_shar @XBOX I'm speaking for how 343 designed Halo 5. Doesn't matter if casuals came back eventually, they all left when the game needed a big player base. Also the multiplayer ViDocs on how the maps were made & how they pushed the e-sport arena to play in Halo 5 are avaliable to watch. They even HIRED a pro team telling them what to change. Bungie made maps for fun first then MLG would make MLG versions of the maps after in older Halos. We got the best of both worlds back then. Of course abit of casuals come back to Halo games once 343 finally puts out tons of Playlist like these but neither Halo Infinite or Halo 5 started off with most of these. I was speaking for Halo 5 in its first year or two. Same with Infinite. Warzone on Halo 5 was full of try hard clans going for the armor after the player base started to die out. Made it unplayable for casuals for the longest time. They forced us to play team arena aka the same settings as the e-sports teams for years in ranked. Halo 2 & 3. Had a separate Playlist for MLG & Ranked team slayer. It also had no skilled based matchmaking in tons of Playlist from the START. 343s Halos came incomplete, we wait for years & that's why everyone who worked on these games were rightfully "let go". Side note, Unishek is the worst community manager of all time, has more than half of the Halo community blocked. Good was to manage the community... Last good Halo game was Halo 2 anniversary made by a different studio that did their best, it needed more updates & some nerfs/more maps but that was the last good arena Halo we had. Infinite was solid but sadly they failed the weapon sandbox & map design. If you want to worship these past twitch shooter halo games. You're supporting the unsuccessful side of Halo that drove a studio into the ground because 343s problem was how inconsistent each Halo game was, they copied Cod with sprint, killstreaks & fast gameplay in Halo 4. Changed it all the next game. They want for Titanfall/Cod crazy movement e-sports chase in Halo 5. Warzone was decent, guess what. Got rid of it in Halo Infinite. They never built upon anything creative, they just chased treads & failed with each Halo game. All the OG halo games were made & all of Bungie had fun playing it in the studio, 343 devs don't even know how to play their own game in the live streams half the damn time. I'm not talking about sucking, I'm talking about not even knowing the correct buttons on the controller. So please, you must be new here.

  @ATVIAssist why does you Trello say the split screen issue is resolved but it still disabled

  @SkersSC @VikeClones Yes it actually does. It proves you hate reading even the amount of a full tweet, because you’re a little moron. Sorry that you try to talk **** and constantly fail, relying on the most basic-***** of insults like a middle schooler playing COD online. It’s not working for you :(

  I have spent the past week using Fable to completely rebuild my workspace, from `~/.claude to my directives, executions, resource folder, / commands, skills, plugins, and pruning. Yesterday we built a prompt enhancing dispenser we're calling prompt cartridges, that are triggered either by the shape of what's being worked on, fully autonomously, or triggered by /prompt. Today I used it on a brain dump for a mission control I'm building for a conference website rebuild, and that one command converted it into 14 build missions, queued to build and ship in parallel: I've already used up my fable credits so I've used about $600 in extra usage on top of that, so when my usage resets on our last day with subscription fable @ 5pm PST on 7/7, I can blast off 14 parallel chats and giga ship the rest of this project in "one" shot Here is what the cartridge actually does, in order. 1. It verifies before it composes. Every claim in my dump that a grep, a *** log, or a live SQL query could check got checked first. I was sure about a ticket price. The database said $20, capped at exactly 1,000, and the filter quoted the row back to me. I said our applicant photos lived in Google Drive. Partly stale: the newer intake uploads to storage buckets, so both paths got handled. Wrong assumptions get stripped with receipts instead of becoming instructions to a dozen builders. 2. It routes cartridges. Tactical patterns that fire on conditions, like interrupts. A few that fired on this run: TAKE THEM: - C-DEL-01, the delegation spec. Fires when real work is about to be handed to an agent or a person. Forces source of truth, write boundaries, and proof-of-done into the handoff. Move: When the user is about to hand real work to an agent, a session, or a person, do not shrink it to a prompt-sized ask, spec the whole job. Reframe from "what would I give a smart person for four hours" to "what would I hand a sharp senior hire for their first week with full access to my files." Walk the seven task-imagination questions: what finished ARTIFACT should exist that does not, what messy SOURCE material feeds it, what TOOLS they open, what JUDGMENT calls they make, what they LEAVE untouched, what would CONVINCE the operator it is actually done, and what EVIDENCE they leave behind. Then compress to the brief: outcome, source pack, tool access, boundaries, first concrete move, cost route (what this model does versus what to send cheaper), review standard, proof trail, and the one or two human sign-off gates. This strengthens the context-demand and boundary parts of the anatomy at whole-job scale. Encode the outcome and the constraints, never the step-by-step procedure, because a procedure is a bet against the model getting smarter. Sources: gap-fill 2026-07 - C-DEL-03, the unwatched automation guard. Fires when something will act on real systems with nobody watching. No kill condition, no ship. Move: When designing any unwatched automation that acts on real systems, specify it as enforceable scopes, not good intentions, because an agent's ethics are its permissions. State what it may read, may write, and must NEVER touch as concrete keys, allowlists, and directories. Set the escalation rule per action class (stop-and-ask, flag-and-continue, or best-guess-and-log), since one global rule is always wrong somewhere. Define the receipts it emits every run (diffs, before-and-after counts, logs) so a finished-looking run is verifiable in thirty seconds, not trusted on looks. Name which action classes need a second model's verdict before executing (external sends, money, deletes). Design the three most likely bad days now, and give it a one-command kill switch plus the usage pattern that means retire it. This strengthens the boundary-and-escalation part of the anatomy, which is the whole card. Put the boundary contract and receipts in the agent's directive file before any code. Sources: W2-AUT-02 - C-DEL-05, the phase decomposer. Fires on substantial multi-step builds. Bounded phases, gates between them. Move: For a substantial multi-step build the operator would otherwise break into phases, relocate the phasing into PLANNING instead of execution. Push the plan until it is decision-complete: split the discoverable facts (go look them up) from the preference calls (ask the operator once, up front), so nothing blocks mid-build. Stand up the verification loop BEFORE writing code, defining how the operator will SEE it working and which three design choices will rot in month two. Execute one pass against that plan. Then gate the diff with a reviewer that did NOT write it, because the maker is not the judge. This strengthens the protocol-over-request and boundary parts of the anatomy: the run has a front-loaded plan and an independent gate. The move is decision-completeness before code, which is what makes one pass safe instead of reckless. Sources: W2-COD-04, W2-COD-01 - C-ADV-07, the exposure red team. Fires when a prompt, agent, or form is about to face the public. Assumes hostile input before it assumes users. Move: Before any agent, prompt, or form goes near the public or untrusted input, have the model write the top five injection or abuse payloads against THIS actual surface, using its real tools and scopes, not generic textbook examples. Audit each payload as BLOCKED, PROBABLY, or OPEN against the current design. Fix every OPEN by narrowing permissions first (remove the scope, tighten the allowlist) and only then by patching prompt wording, because an instruction is not a boundary. This strengthens the boundary-and-escalation part of the anatomy and turns a vague "is it safe" into a checkable list. Output the payloads plus the fix per OPEN, so the hardening is a diff, not a promise. Sources: W2-SEC-01 - C-VRD-05, the load-bearing fact check. Fires when a single fact is about to drive a decision. The fact gets verified or flagged, never trusted. Move: When a load-bearing claim is about to drive a decision or appear in client work, do not let the model assert it from memory. Require it to trace the claim to its primary source, run the disconfirming search (actively look for what would prove it false, not just corroboration), and return a verdict of SOLID, PLAUSIBLE, FOLKLORE, or FALSE, with SOLID reserved for claims backed by two independent primaries. Make it show the source and the disconfirming attempt, not just the label. This strengthens the context-demand and de-sycophancy parts of the anatomy: it blocks the confident-sounding fabrication that is the model's most expensive failure. Any claim that cannot reach a primary comes back PLAUSIBLE at best, flagged for a human check before it ships. Sources: W2-RES-02 3. It composes on a fixed anatomy. Context with receipts, a mission with a motive, a numbered protocol, explicit out-of-scope, escalation rules, and a definition of done that is evidence, not self-congratulation. Fourteen times over, one mission file per build stream, committed to the repo. 4. It routes models. Heavy reasoning where judgment lives, cheaper models where the work is mechanical, and a standing rule that nothing ships judged only by the thing that built it. From there, 13 chats build simultaneously in isolated worktrees, each proving itself on its own live preview URL, while a 14th merges and ships each one to production the moment it passes its QA gate. Every mission carries the same bar: desktop and mobile, tested and screenshotted, receipts or it did not happen. In the words of Fable: "The intelligence was never in the prompt. It was in everything that happened before the prompt was allowed to exist." I want to hear some system ideas you've had like these. Drop comments. These days, my Opus is MILES past what it was a week ago, thanks to Fable showing up, getting taken away, prep for the return, Fable 2.0 task lineup, and now a 7hr window Fable 3.0 lineup. let's ******* GO!!! These constraints have helped me be more strategic with my moves, but the usage credits are brutal. Can't wait for them to keep Fable in the subscription. That can't happen soon enough...

  @ItzNovhaTV @MrTLexify The main issue with the cod hq is that they are building the same game every year off this engine reusing same graphics same map props etc and it makes the call of duty games feel less new every year.

  @BTV_Cast @SulyceGaming Xbox lost of sight if the customer a long time ago, tried to fight its way back when the customer moved on, bought up too many studios to bolster Gamepass, and are now floundering as a result while also under a corporation that has shifted into AI and is beginning to hold the brand to standards they are unable to achieve. I don’t blame the current head of Xbox, she was given this mess just a few months ago and now has to right the ship in what I’m sure feels like a very narrow window of time as compared to the amount of leniency Phil Spencer was given. The industry as a whole is sharing some of the problems Xbox has, but I think Xbox remains a wholly unique situation because they are a platform holder and own some of the largest IP in gaming with Minecraft, COD, Halo, WoW, Overwatch, Forza, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Doom, among others. Many if their issues are self inflicted, but if Xbox goes down, a significant portion of the industry goes down with it.

  @PaulRoundy1 @BBrzozu @jasonhickel Overfishing, by-catch and krill clearance has wrecked stocks. Underneath are terminal issues; Cod left Grand Banks, 90% eel collapse & fish infertility seems due to sea +0.25ºC. 90% fish eaten by fish so PFAs concentrate in apex. N.Atlantic Orca are now sterile.

  @IdleSloth84_ "There’s a real sense amongst some teams that they’re being punished after Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's poor performance caused revenue issues across the entire business." Well, that would be because they have turned COD into a complete joke

  @_Tom_Henderson_ Multiple reasons. Game Pass was always most adopted on console. Microsoft gave up on consoles years ago before the new leadership changed course. Also, the price increases and additions of things into the service that make no sense: COD, Fortnite Crew, Ubisoft+ ect
