Games Halo Infinite

Forge, cut for six months after ‘release’. No custom games.

Co-Op with your buddies- cut for 3 months after ‘release’. No shared experiences to talk about with your friends.

Progress linked exclusively to challenges(chores). No progress until you finish your vegetables or hand over 10 bucks Jimmy.

Free ‘Free’ multiplayer that will only incentivize cheaters. Which is fine because theyre more interested in selling children EXP boosters to complete the season passes than delivering an experience people cant wait to come home to

Yeah, no thanks. I’ll watch the campaign on YouTube. If its obvious that HI will come out in a sorry state im skipping the Series X all together.

I cant continue to hold out for garbage. Sorry, not sorry.

Ill bring popcorn will be watching on youtube too, with my buddies now that we can’t play together.
So much for a strong launch, so much for preordering.

Truly disappointing. The worst part is watching people with no friends say that Co-Op and forge arent integral to Halo as if Halo 3’s life span wasn’t exponentially extended by those two specific game modes.

Shame.
