I know a lot of us have been looking for a response on being able to que for the desired gamemode and John Junyszek has done so.
A Social Slayer playlist (with multiple variations) is also in the works (we see this request the most), but we won’t be able to get that one ready until after the holidays. We hope you can understand and enjoy the ones that make it in before the team takes a well-deserved break!
They also said playlists like swat and free for all are also in the works for post holidays. This sounds like some good news to me.
What modes are you most interested in getting? I personally am looking forward to infection.
“in the works”. You wanna tell me you developed a game over 6 years and have no system in place where your intern can mak a new playlist in 1-2 hours? Sorry, but if true: maybe game development should net be your profession…
Be honest for once: you delay and hold features back to get people back playingand be “the good guy” who is providing content.
Woke up this morning and read their “responses,” … shocked. What the F have they been doing for 6 years other than baking in their piece of trash monetization and challenge swap system into core Halo features. Why is mode specific playlists even a dispute, this has been in EVERY HALO GAME!!!
I’m just sad. Halo doesnt come out every year like COD, its a big deal when one launches for the fans, and we have a clown car running the show at 343 that cant even get the basics right and actively ignored all the flight feedback.
Where are the playlists, where is the account based ranks, why do I need to pay 20 dollars for BLUE, where are the vehicles in BTB ( one scoprion every lunar eclipse doesnt count), WTF IS GOING ON OVER THERE. How does Bonnie “Reinvent the wheel even though Old Bungie did everything better” Ross still have a job after botching 3 games?
It’s a Saturday morning, i have nothing to do and I’m on the forum instead of playing your game 343. WTF.
Don’t care. No one asked them to use a new engine, what we did ask for was a fun Halo game that has the features we expect. Let’s go through the list:
Campaign - No co-op for half a year.
No Forge
No PvE mode outside of the campaign
No mode specific playlists
No swat, griffball, infection etc. - they are allegedly in the fliles but being held back.
No account based progression (the service record for infinite on this website goes to the battle pass LOL)
No lobbies
No clans
What does seem to work flawlessly is their garbage challenge swap system and cash shop. I wouldve paid $200 dollars for feature complete MP that doesnt actively try to annoy me. I bought this BP out of hype but wont spend another dime on Infinite after seeing how this launched.
I’ve explained what I think is going on a few times but it just makes people mad, so I’m not sure worth even typing it out any more. They obviously have their reasons to hold stuff back and a lot of it makes sense in principle. It may have upset people but they are still trying to assess the data their side so they can map out the future.
No-one wants to upset fans but it will happen when certain considerations need to be made. This Halo game is unlike any other released before it so it can’t be expected to be the same.
Without the new engine a lot of new amazing features like the grappleshot. They must have some infection assets because you can see the icon for the mode in-game. 343 is trying to bring new things to the table which means they have to start from scratch. Its best if they take the time to reintroduce the items properly rather than half baking it.
