I think 343 is holding back some combination of maps, game modes, and weapons for final release on Dec 8th. I know they’ve implied this is the full MP suite, but they’ve also mentioned that Nov 15th “wasn’t even the real launch”. That’s part of a quote from sk3tch on the Halo subreddit.
Evidence #1 - There’s an achievement tied to reviving team mates in Elimination. Elimination is a game mode that’s not in the game now, and didn’t end up being the first temporary fracture playlist.
I just think it’s unlikely there’s an achievement tied to a temporary game type… who knotted though!
Maybe I’m the -Yoink!- here, but if you’re launching a major game the week before a major holiday… you shouldn’t expect to be able to just take an extended weekend off immediately following.
I don’t know who you are, but I know who Shigeru Miyamoto is, and when you say that so bluntly, and with an air of authority, I would like to point out that you probably have no authority from which to speak. It is more likely that you misunderstood him than that he was just flat out wrong
Well I have always heard an air of controversy surrounding Destiny 2, and consequently, I have not played it. This can affect Halo too, and we just have to be careful with this kind of “game”. How much controversy is too much? I suggest they shouldn’t touch controversy with a 10-foot pole
Yeah, and you know why it got better? This is gonna be shocker for you… players complained and provided feedback. Shock, horror, lighting crackle, lighting crackle. Nobody hanged them selves, nobody cried, nobody was sending death threats… just lot of pressure and pushback from customer. In-game currency for cash shop armors, SUNSETTING - complete reversal after 1 month, Transmog (partially), just to name a few…
Funny thing is… Loot crates, these nasty slot machines for kids, had much lower impact on gameplay, team play and matchmaking mechanics of H5 than this…
at the rate we complain? your such a corporate shill you should be ashamed, were complaining because they have gutted the game and want us to pay for the remains.
I feel that perhaps Halo Infinite might start out roughish especially around the BP progression, playlists options and some of the customization is at beta. But let’s not forget how MCC was rough to even play at launch and how H5 started with minimal playlists and the OG req packs .

I tend to be positive and feel like these issues will be addressed over time in the near future.
AFAIK, Campaign is shaping up to be very good, so at least that wouldn’t be delayed.
But MP’s entire progression, monetization and customization? Rework all that -Yoink!-, it just doesn’t work.
Came back to see if the list got any bigger. it did not. While that’s disappointing, I understand its going to take 343 time to collect and analyze all of our feedback and think about ways they can improve on the system, that is still going to have to comply with micro$ofts money grubbing hands. THEN test and implement the improvements before releasing it to the playerbase. A lot of conversations need to be had before things get ironed out, and before they tell us anything. Otherwise we get situations where Ske7ch seems to be lying based on what we got vs what we were told.
I think the reality is we are not gonna get exactly what we want but a compromise between the two. The steam is also coming “off of a sprint” according to Joe Staten. Let them have a break.
