@@raphaeljacques9226 also just annoying they keep changing it lol, like pick a version and stick with it! I was finally used to it and they change it again lmaooo
The commando has always been super weak and then they nerf it?! It needed to stay the same performance and then add 5 additional shots to the mag at the bare minimum
Tbh I think they regret adding it now. They have the Ma5b, the Battle Rifle, the Dmr and now the Avenger. The Commando just seems too much, like it’s a weird mix of Avenger and Battle rifle or even the Ma5b, but for me it doesn’t have its own unique role. It’s like „just another gun“ and Halo never had this sort of mentality, every gun has its own use and the commando might be an exception because it does the same stuff as so many other weapons
Hot take: I like The Commando, and I think I would pick it up over the BR or DMR It has an interesting design, and it can outgun the SMG Sadly, this update made it really difficult to use
Played with buddies who rarely play halo and our teams were so garbage every match last night. Meanwhile the enemy team was absolutely stacked. Totally killed our vibe.
Dude, I thought it was just me. I was getting demolished. Normally I can get at least 10-15 kills per game but last night I was struggling to get past 5.
i dont think people realise how good of a sign this is the moment halo studios came they released the biggest update to infinite yet with a ne NEW gun that actually has a diferent role in the sandbox (looking at you bandit copying the BRs homework) new maps new game modes TPS and now theres so much content pretty much confirmed to come ACTUALLY soon unlike 343s "soon" (one year later)
My wife and I jumped into the Delta playlist and the first few rounds were amazing! Then SBMM kicked in and punished us for it. And we keep getting Warlock!
SAME! The first 3 games were fun then SBMM said “okay buddy enough fun, time to serve your role as a bottom” and put me in onyx/hero lobbies (im platinum)
It’s salvageable, if they drop a campaign dlc and incentivize the forge creators to do their jobs for them, add some lore based forge created missions and put them in a multi playlist, all they’d have to do after that is pay a big streamer to play their new content.
@@gamerzay69they can barely get basic vehicles and armor sets in the game for two fucken years of waiting, an with an actual competent studio they could have made an entire halo game with more shit than what they done now there is absolutely no campaign dlc, even then don’t want it considering how dog shit the campaign story is
That’s one thing that’s always griped me with 343. The balancing of the guns are almost perfect, just slight tweaks needed. Then they always go ahead and change it, months or years after release! If it’s bothering a small population of people reporting it, why go ahead and overhaul it for them, while the other millions of players are forced to get used to that change. Makes it worse when you hop on months down the line and you realize your favorite weapon’s abilities have vanished. WTF 343 / Halo Studios. Do better.
When they stopped updating MCC I stopped caring about Halo. Infinite being F2P just makes it such a shell of a game, being nickel and dimed for all cosmetics. Unless the next Halo is a normal price model I never see myself returning. I hate to be negative with all this positive news, but that's just how I feel about Halo these days.
I feel like a big part of Halo back then was customization and player expression. Your armor back then acted almost like a calling card in that it showed your progress and experience playing the game and everyone had their own unique story behind their armor. Today its just who levelled up the battle pass / who has the biggest wallet.
They’ve invested a lot into MCC and turned it around. It is ten years old and does not have a huge player base. They tried to keep it going with purchasable items, but the community voted no, without considering the long term implications. Halo studios and Microsoft are a business. I’d voted yes because I knew this would happen. Other whales can buy things and you don’t have to. But that’s in the past now. I doubt the next Halo will be a like it was in the past. Again a business.
@@bclaw1353 they turned an art form into a shit show with corporate greed. Gamers don’t want to just “support a business/corporation “, but e will gladly pay and support a fun and enjoyable experience. The original 3 games was fun for everyone, casuals, forgers, and comp play. The game had it all, story, mix of game modes, player base, competitive tournaments, coach co op, and more! 343 and Microsoft took what the players wanted and threw in a can and lit it on fire
I’m so happy they didn’t abandon Infinite entirely. I actually just reinstalled Infinite for the first time since February. 343’s change to Halo Studios and the Unreal Engine did make me feel a little better about their future projects but I did think Infinite development halted. This really brightened my day. With development resuming on previously scrapped content I would still LOVE to see Infinite get the Campaign DLC that sets up the next installment. It’s a longshot to hope for that but it would allow the studio to set the narrative going forward. Maybe even improve Infinite’s open world and add a new biome.
Imagine having a development cycle where a new item to add (whatever it is) is added to Forge for people to play around with, view balances, and provide a HUGE benefit to feedback prior to polishing and official matchmaking releases!
I’ve really enjoyed playing the delta halo playlist even if the matchmaking punishes me for doing good. My biggest issue with infinte right now is the process of getting into a match. It takes forever to load and get through the intro animations and then it forces you to requeue when the match is done. I want to get on and play a bunch of matches back to back, not sit around watching loading screens.
I do appreciate the optimism that you bring Mint, but we're definitely not back. They are just slapping bandaids on Infinite. It's an absolute crime how much they charge for cosmetics. And it's way too late. We're just patiently waiting for the next game. And we're praying they don't F it up. MCC is getting me through these disgusting "battle pass" days.... The H2 E3 demo has me way more excited than anything in Infinite. We're just coping here....
These people keep saying that “ we are so back” every new operation but back from where? That implies the game falls off shorty after every update doesn’t it? 😂 Not to be a hater but isnt every operation just a small new battlepass, a new playlist, and updated shop?
Id rather have toxic positivity than constant negativity. Its exhausting. Everyone knows they funbled infinite. If youre unwilling to let yourself feel good about anything in the game, then move on. @SolidLoach
@KarltheBarl the game getting consistent updates does make it better. Just constantly belittling it and the people who work on it because you're addicted to being angry only sends the message to the devs that they should stop trying. Then we get nothing. Everyone e ran this game through the mud already. Everyone knows it was a fumble. So when a new update comes out that actually adds a lot of good content, we should be positive about it because there's nothing new to add to the conversation by being negative. Especially because it's reached a point where the game is actually in a feature complete state. So they're adding new stuff that's keeping it alive. Yall can't even say "this should have been in at launch" anymore. So there's nothing to really criticize beyond small things like maybe some balancing changes and stuff. If you're still So angry about the game that you can't give any credit where its due, then it's time to move on to something else. It takes energy to be angry. It doesn't take energy to let go
The skill-based-matchmaking feels like back in the OG days, when the game turned to into a 4v3 against a full team communicating and spawn trapping. NUMBER ONE TURN OFF, literally the reason I hardly play anymore.
Same here, the game kept prioritising sbmm over connection. If a managed to get a single game I could walk in a straight line without being jolted around by ruber banding it would be against people at least two ranks ahead of me. Not numbered ranks mind you, I'd be low gold and getting matched against high plat and diamond players.
3:34 yeah I think the main part is the scope being too high. I put it into blender and lowered the scope a bit and it already looked much better just from that.
I’m so excited for the double barrel! Out of any leak that’s ever come out for this game that has always been the sickest imo and I’m happy we’re finally getting it (hopefully).
If they want the community to truly trust and believe that with 'HALO Studios' the franchise will take a new and renewed direction, they definitely need to prove it. Providing continued support to Halo Infinite is the first step. It doesn’t matter if the game doesn’t have many players or if it’s not financially rewarding. They have to do it for the community to believe in this franchise again. Halo is amazing; Halo deserves it and so do we.
New weapons are cool, but I really just want some classic weapons back... where is the Plasma Rifle? Where is the classic Shotgun and Magnum? Where is the spiker? Where is the brute shot? There's many more I could say but I just want them back
Just played around with the shotgun this morning, too much fun. Great one-two combo with the melee at mid range. I heard of an lmg and fuel rod possibly coming too. This is so exciting
I really hope we get a halo 3 armor core with all the customization. I have said this before, and I'll say it again: yes, it's disappointing that the mk v and mk vi are kits, but customization was limited back in H: CE and H: 2, but halo 3 has a bunch of customization and looking back at the time the CE and H: 2 mk vi released. They're 20th anniversary's. It could happen sometime around September 2027.
For the Delta Arena playlist I think they should let you spawn with a pistol aswell as the new SMG. The SMG is a lot of fun to use and I know H2 classic had SMG only starts but they were removed after a while for good reason because it just isnt fun having a gameplay loop revolving around running straight towards the first precision weapon you see. Besides that I really like the mode the new maps are great and the classic settings are a lot of fun.
The sidekick is way more effective than the halo 2 magnum though. If they spawned you with a sidekick in this playlist it is all anyone would use and then the MA5K would feel useless with all the long range engagements
The MA5K is also way better than the Halo 2 SMG, it’s incredibly powerful at close range and has headshot multiplier it would definitely still have its place. Even now in the game mode most people don’t use the smg they just look for precision weapons anyways (at least the people who are good) so I don’t see the difference just spawn us with one. SMG only starts are just not fun even Bungie acknowledged it
If I cared even a little bit about multiplayer, this would be exciting. But seriously, for those of us who are into Halo for its story, we're completely starving.
I quite literally haven't been able to enjoy this game. Online, I play various CODs, Apex, Human Fall Flat, even Resident Evil online, but only Halo has the problem. Matches take forever to load, the game crashes consistently, forge is only usable for 10 minutes before giving out, and when I finally get a match, I'm stuck moving in one direction for 8 seconds at a time while playing against people who believe they'll die if they lose. I've tried reinstalling, resetting my router, restarting my Series X, but literally nothing makes this game playable. I need help.
When you threw the sticky I was thinking this will be a cool kill. Then as the sniper launched, I realized I had completely forgotten about this mechanic and it brought back so many memories!
They really need to add any new weapons, equipment and vehicles to the campaign. Ya know make the replayablity better. Too many games forget about the campaign, perfect example is For Honor...
TOTALLY agree on SMG starts. The maps are so open that, if you don't have a precision weapon, there is nothing you can do. Nothing. That said, if you have a precision weapon, the gamemode is pretty fun
I tuned out of halo a while ago. Love the franchise but 343 dropped the ball with infinite and while they’ve put in work to make it better, it doesn’t feel right. So sick of corporate greed and micro transactions. Customization to me should be a blend of Reach and halo 3. Using in game credits and progression to buy armor without real money. Then use achievements to reward players with other armor. Would love a vidmaster set for the challenge and exclusive feel. Also it’d be nice if they released all the features with the game completed and then just did balancing updates and DLC. Make the game cost $60-70 and no micro-transactions. I hope the next new halo game listens to the fans and doesn’t just go for newer game trends. Go back to what made the originals so damn good
I think you should make a dedicated video about how poor stability is for Infinite on PC. The fact that the game is nearly unplayable for a lot of people is a slap to the community's face.
As someone who has loved this game since launch, almost religiously plays its multiplayer, and has never stopped having hope for this game, all i have to say, is that we're SO fucking back.
Stim that increases movement and reload speed could be cool Would also be interesting to see something that prevents you from getting knocked out of zoom
it feels good to know that their working on new things for halo infinite, I think there's a bright future for halo as long as halo studios listens to the community.
I hope that once the multiplayer updates are over, they will update the campaign with the new vehicles, weapons, and graphics. It seems like the game is finally getting the care it deserves, and I'd like to see the campaign a part of that.
I’ve always used the commando like a semi automatic marksman rifle and it still feels fair yet slightly nerfed to me after the update. The only time I hold the trigger down with it and let it spray is if I’m so close I can’t miss. In close quarters it is consistently outclassed by the new SMG though, which is to be expected
I think Halo is really making a comeback, after our muddy 343 years with Halo 5 and early infinite its exciting to see that the people who truly love the game are really working hard to bring it back to gold!
y'all ever think the SBMM is bad rn because people who don't play often are playing against the only people keeping the game alive, and therefor are sweats by nature? Obviously... but maybe it's because 90% of people playing these new playlists play the game consistently and the 10% who don't won't find a game otherwise?
Bro I tried the shotgun and it is so fun to use being able to choose between shooting both rounds or one at a time along with the grab hammer melee is just so fun it’s gonna make one hell of a power weapon
I hope we see all of the leaks but I also really hope they finish the spiker for H3 remakes, and also that lacerator brute lmg they were working on could be like a banished SAW power weapon really wanna see that too! Also new vehicles plz!
The only thing I care about for this operation / season is the white armor coating in the battle pass. I just don’t know if it’s worth taking time away from the black ops 6 grind to get that coating. It’s been hard to care about Infinite since bo6 came out because it’s actually rewarding to do challenges in cod.
Im actually quite happy with the MA5K after playing a few rounds last night. Had some nasty packet loss that really messed with me but otherwise not a bad collection of maps in the Delta playlist.
This is looking GREAT. I really hope they will be consistent with expanding the sandbox greatly each "big" update now. It could return a whole bunch of the community to infinite
So, I think that most of these changes were already in the works and were just pushed out to give us something, which explained the mistakes. However, I also think that they are heading in the right direction and are just testing the waters, as this is technically the first update for Halo Studios. I hope that they are on the right track and this update is promising.
Maybe there is some hope. I've just launched Halo 5 and saw that they changed the promotional window info regarding Halo Infinite from the old one (from the times of Season 5) to a new one (Great Journey Operation).
im still disappointed the new assault rifle is just the battle rifle with no scope and a higher rate of fire. the fact they put the QR code on the gun itself to say its an assault rifle makes so funny to me
Good to finally hear someone talking positive about the update. My only problem with Halo infinite is the frame rate drops and the melee is made to favour unskilled players
The new double barrel shotgun is the embodiment of what I want a db with a gravity hammer its looking like its going to be my favorite weapon in the entire franchise
*Not just the H2 Sniper but the MA5K Avenger is missing an ammo ejector and also should either have a larger mag or shoot pistol rounds since 60 rounds is too much for that mag size.*
I want the falcon, the skif, the cougar, a functional elephant. All doable things. Really is a shame. A hornet, marauder, & jackrabbit would also be pretty fun additions too, & so would the mantis. There’s a bunch more vehicles like the ones in halo wars but they’d be kinda wack in the sandbox.
i wish they would come out with a literal bundle of new weapons instead of a few every year. we really need more weapons and vehicles for forge to actually be fun. literally like why cant we fly a pelican without welding a banshee or skeeter to it. or those mechs.
The Commando is one of my fav guns from Halo, mainly with one of the weapon model that makes it look like a carbine, I am gunna keep using it and hope I can adjust, and even then, I just play firefight.
I love in your clips how if you don't already have the sniper rifle, you're hunting down and killing the person with the sniper rifle 😂 Love your videos man, you've been a beacon of light through some of the darkest days of Halo and always keep it real
Downloaded for the first time in months recently after the update. I played for the first time this morning, 2 rounds before work, and it was so sweaty I just couldn’t enjoy it.
Are we back?
Maybe
MCC's BTB is still broken.
Nope
Custom games browser desperately needs a fix
DO you guys think mint blitz is lore accurate master chief? Maybe google 10 minute house of reckoning. That will determine if he is or not.
The fact the Falcon has been at 95% ready for 2+ years and they still haven’t released it is just insane
Just a stark reminder on the constant missed opportunities with this game.
It still hasn’t registered with you guys and it’s honestly making me face palm.
then you'd compLain it feels janky and unfinished
The fact they had to frankenstein an AR into an SMG goes to show just how scuffed their dev cycle is.
If it's close to being ready and not making progress, it means someone isn't letting the devs work on it
The devs constantly sabotaging the commando is really frustrating to me
Were there really people that wanted Commando changes? *shrugs*

The Commando is such a thorn in Infinite’s side, lmao. It’s the living embodiment of the “it’s over… we’re so back” meme chart.
Idk why they changed it in the first place, it was good at launch
I’ve always hated it
@@vvanderer2287Yeah I was actually a big fan of it at launch. Luckily it's not as bad now as it once was but still not as good as at launch

The SMG is a lot of fun to use and I know H2 classic had SMG only starts but they were removed after a while for good reason because it just isnt fun having a gameplay loop revolving around running straight towards the first precision weapon you see. Besides that I really like the mode the new maps are great and the classic settings are a lot of fun.
The sidekick is way more effective than the halo 2 magnum though.
If they spawned you with a sidekick in this playlist it is all anyone would use and then the MA5K would feel useless with all the long range engagements
The MA5K is also way better than the Halo 2 SMG, it’s incredibly powerful at close range and has headshot multiplier it would definitely still have its place. Even now in the game mode most people don’t use the smg they just look for precision weapons anyways (at least the people who are good) so I don’t see the difference just spawn us with one. SMG only starts are just not fun even Bungie acknowledged it
The glazing is real. There’s less than 2000 players playing on steam lmao. I don’t think “we’re back”
If I cared even a little bit about multiplayer, this would be exciting. But seriously, for those of us who are into Halo for its story, we're completely starving.
I quite literally haven't been able to enjoy this game. Online, I play various CODs, Apex, Human Fall Flat, even Resident Evil online, but only Halo has the problem. Matches take forever to load, the game crashes consistently, forge is only usable for 10 minutes before giving out, and when I finally get a match, I'm stuck moving in one direction for 8 seconds at a time while playing against people who believe they'll die if they lose. I've tried reinstalling, resetting my router, restarting my Series X, but literally nothing makes this game playable. I need help.
Your internet might just be trash . Majority of ppl have literally nun of these problems
@StunttManZ you literally didn't read what I wrote.
When you threw the sticky I was thinking this will be a cool kill. Then as the sniper launched, I realized I had completely forgotten about this mechanic and it brought back so many memories!
They really need to add any new weapons, equipment and vehicles to the campaign. Ya know make the replayablity better. Too many games forget about the campaign, perfect example is For Honor...
TOTALLY agree on SMG starts. The maps are so open that, if you don't have a precision weapon, there is nothing you can do. Nothing.
That said, if you have a precision weapon, the gamemode is pretty fun
Custom games are fun! Ppl who are not playing are missing out
I tuned out of halo a while ago. Love the franchise but 343 dropped the ball with infinite and while they’ve put in work to make it better, it doesn’t feel right. So sick of corporate greed and micro transactions. Customization to me should be a blend of Reach and halo 3. Using in game credits and progression to buy armor without real money. Then use achievements to reward players with other armor. Would love a vidmaster set for the challenge and exclusive feel. Also it’d be nice if they released all the features with the game completed and then just did balancing updates and DLC. Make the game cost $60-70 and no micro-transactions. I hope the next new halo game listens to the fans and doesn’t just go for newer game trends. Go back to what made the originals so damn good
These companies will never go back to the golden days now that they know how much money there is in monetizing basic content.
The Halo 2 Sniper matches Halo Infinites aesthetic perfectly. Goes great with their Temu Phantoms.
Halo fans will still find a way to make this negative.
Morons will always force their toxic positivity on others.
I think you should make a dedicated video about how poor stability is for Infinite on PC. The fact that the game is nearly unplayable for a lot of people is a slap to the community's face.
they have never been able to get the commando right
As someone who has loved this game since launch, almost religiously plays its multiplayer, and has never stopped having hope for this game, all i have to say, is that we're SO fucking back.
Dang, I can’t imagine how different Halo would’ve been if they attacked the updates like this when they launched. Good turn around. A win is a win
I wish 343/ms would make all the Halo games backwards compatible on series x
mcc exist you Know
Stim that increases movement and reload speed could be cool
Would also be interesting to see something that prevents you from getting knocked out of zoom
Oh that’s cool adding the Light Rifle. It’s pretty much the main Promethean gun people used and it kind of should have been lying around on Zeta Halo.
it feels good to know that their working on new things for halo infinite, I think there's a bright future for halo as long as halo studios listens to the community.
This is the most one-sided I've ever felt when matching against randoms. I lost all my matches on Tuesday, just killed my hype for using mark 6
I hope that once the multiplayer updates are over, they will update the campaign with the new vehicles, weapons, and graphics. It seems like the game is finally getting the care it deserves, and I'd like to see the campaign a part of that.
The skilled based matchmaking was so rough that it quite literally sent me back in time to halo 2 🤯
I’ve always used the commando like a semi automatic marksman rifle and it still feels fair yet slightly nerfed to me after the update. The only time I hold the trigger down with it and let it spray is if I’m so close I can’t miss.
In close quarters it is consistently outclassed by the new SMG though, which is to be expected
HALO STUDIOS STARTS OFF WITH A BANG!
I think Halo is really making a comeback, after our muddy 343 years with Halo 5 and early infinite its exciting to see that the people who truly love the game are really working hard to bring it back to gold!
I find the double barrel Shotgun to be such a gimmick but beggers can't be choosers.
Man. Pierre Hintze is simply the best. I'm so happy he's in charge now.
What an awesome time for Halo fans
y'all ever think the SBMM is bad rn because people who don't play often are playing against the only people keeping the game alive, and therefor are sweats by nature?
Obviously...
but maybe it's because 90% of people playing these new playlists play the game consistently and the 10% who don't won't find a game otherwise?
"Get a precision weapon as soon as you can"
Yeah...me and the sniper unfortunately don't really mix.
My Delta Playlist experience has been followed: Spawn, run for BR, teammate takes BR, die
Bro I tried the shotgun and it is so fun to use being able to choose between shooting both rounds or one at a time along with the grab hammer melee is just so fun it’s gonna make one hell of a power weapon
I hope we see all of the leaks but I also really hope they finish the spiker for H3 remakes, and also that lacerator brute lmg they were working on could be like a banished SAW power weapon really wanna see that too! Also new vehicles plz!
So good to be back. Being a Gamepass owner has never felt so good tbh
The only thing I care about for this operation / season is the white armor coating in the battle pass. I just don’t know if it’s worth taking time away from the black ops 6 grind to get that coating. It’s been hard to care about Infinite since bo6 came out because it’s actually rewarding to do challenges in cod.
Im actually quite happy with the MA5K after playing a few rounds last night. Had some nasty packet loss that really messed with me but otherwise not a bad collection of maps in the Delta playlist.
This is looking GREAT. I really hope they will be consistent with expanding the sandbox greatly each "big" update now. It could return a whole bunch of the community to infinite
So, I think that most of these changes were already in the works and were just pushed out to give us something, which explained the mistakes. However, I also think that they are heading in the right direction and are just testing the waters, as this is technically the first update for Halo Studios. I hope that they are on the right track and this update is promising.
Maybe there is some hope. I've just launched Halo 5 and saw that they changed the promotional window info regarding Halo Infinite from the old one (from the times of Season 5) to a new one (Great Journey Operation).
Imagine they made the AR models cross core with the MA5K, we could get the CE AR back with the Evolved model applied to it
im still disappointed the new assault rifle is just the battle rifle with no scope and a higher rate of fire. the fact they put the QR code on the gun itself to say its an assault rifle makes so funny to me
I use the commando specifically in firefight, with the magnum too. Works like a charm if you can predict the recoil lol
Good to finally hear someone talking positive about the update. My only problem with Halo infinite is the frame rate drops and the melee is made to favour unskilled players
That double barrel looks really interesting, pretty unique.
The new double barrel shotgun is the embodiment of what I want a db with a gravity hammer its looking like its going to be my favorite weapon in the entire franchise
The skill based matchmaking is the one thing that keeps me from playing the game. I refuse to play something that sabotages me.
so still no single player content
I Can't Wait For Halo 2's 20th Anniversary Who Excited 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
yeah, im no esports halo player but when im the one who starts carrying the team i know somethings up becuase my team will be in negative KD.
It's always funny when Mint talks about sbmm, bc he's on the complete other side of it than me 😅
the statis field im pretty sure has been an option in forge for ages, similar to how the bandit was before it was added
It is crazy that the fanbase has done a 180 on precision starts.
*Not just the H2 Sniper but the MA5K Avenger is missing an ammo ejector and also should either have a larger mag or shoot pistol rounds since 60 rounds is too much for that mag size.*
FREE MY BOY COMMANDO HE AINT DO NOTHING!
I want the falcon, the skif, the cougar, a functional elephant. All doable things. Really is a shame.
A hornet, marauder, & jackrabbit would also be pretty fun additions too, & so would the mantis.
There’s a bunch more vehicles like the ones in halo wars but they’d be kinda wack in the sandbox.
i wish they would come out with a literal bundle of new weapons instead of a few every year. we really need more weapons and vehicles for forge to actually be fun. literally like why cant we fly a pelican without welding a banshee or skeeter to it. or those mechs.
The Commando is one of my fav guns from Halo, mainly with one of the weapon model that makes it look like a carbine, I am gunna keep using it and hope I can adjust, and even then, I just play firefight.
Honestly I wonder if the SMG starts in the Delta playlist was just some nostalgic trolling on their part
I love in your clips how if you don't already have the sniper rifle, you're hunting down and killing the person with the sniper rifle 😂
Love your videos man, you've been a beacon of light through some of the darkest days of Halo and always keep it real
Downloaded for the first time in months recently after the update. I played for the first time this morning, 2 rounds before work, and it was so sweaty I just couldn’t enjoy it.
The great journey season pass just makes me want playable elites even more it's incredibly frustrating.
A shotgun gravhammer thing is absolutely fucking diabolical
