The menus overall run like garbage. Everything I click takes ages to load when it was all fine before.
Several times when trying to load a game it throws random errors like “There is an issue with the dedicated server” or “There aren’t enough players that support the playlist” .
The scoreboards seems to be pulling some crazy battlefield stuff and just appears completely white.

Other not bugs but just issues is that I hate the new gamemode but I got to play it everyday just to complete the event. Why not have “Complete 1 game” not “get 5 headshots”. I hate FFA, I hate Battle Royale. Yet I am forced to play a mixture of the 2 just so I don’t miss out?
So when you said battle passes didn’t expire that gave me the impression that you wanted players to complete a battle pass before buying the next one so you wouldn’t miss out. But now it says you need to buy Season 2 for an extra weekly challenge which is stepping towards the complete opposite direction.
I haven’t completed Season 1 because this game is plagued with deterrence’s. At this point its safe to say 343i are so out of touch with Halo that it wouldn’t surprise me if half of them don’t even know what master chiefs spartan number is. Anyway shortly after the games release I stopped playing because a lack of progression and content as a hole I got bored. I had a 50GB update so I thought I would see what’s new. Oh a new battlepass I will buy that when I complete Season 1 as there is no point having 2 battlepasses just to work towards 1. That way if I still don’t complete the 1st one then I haven’t wasted money and buying Season 2 for nothing. But 343i have delayed me spending more money because I can’t progress as fast. Very few people will buy a new Season for an extra challenge so you are actually earning less money.
At this point I really think there shouldn’t be anymore Halo games. Halo Infinite was supposed to be 343is redemption but that’s basically gone out of the window at this point. The game has almost been out half a year and so far we have had, 2 new maps and mini battle royale with a twist. (KOTH doesn’t count as that should have been in the game at launch).
I think even 343i have given up because we get an update once every 6 months for what you would expect every 3 months. I think they are struggling to even keep up with the new store items which is why they can’t make new content for the game.
Well I am no developer but if that’s the case have you ever heard of a reality check? Well reality is if your not making new content and players stop playing the game. Whos gonna buy the store items? I am sure players would much rather new maps and gametypes then the minority who actually pay for store items. When the game is actually up to a respectable standard then pump out all the crappy overpriced cosmetics you want but at the moment thats the least important thing to worry about.

Steam charts don’t lie. I know you got Xbox App and Xbox consoles aswell but those charts if Microsoft released them are most likely similar to the ones from Steam.
I know this post is a bit controversial but its annoying to see something that a series I use to care about suddenly turn to crap because a new company has no idea about what their fan base actually want. Halo was built on the casual player base so 343i tell them to get lost and turn Halo into a competitive game. That didn’t work for Halo 4, 5 and Infinite. 3 times in a row and they still don’t understand what the players want. We want fun gametypes, we want casual playlists to have relaxed SBMM (At the moment casual playlists are identical to ranked just without the ranking system), We want a progression system and to be able to view other players file shares and service records, We want free customization so Spartons are actually unique and a server browser to play each peoples game types with crazy fun rules. And ofc Forge but that’s allegedly in progress. What gets me is these is such obvious things yet the game doesn’t have them. All of those things (Except Forge) could easily be added in 6 months. Which leads me to think 343i don’t care about the game. None of them have worked 5 minutes of overtime in their time at 343i and likely don’t do their job during work hours. At 1st I thought Covid was a reasonable excuse for lack of content but that clearly wasn’t the case. They really are just a useless company. I want them to prove me wrong but at this point my faith in them is 6ft in the ground with the headstone marked “Died waiting for Halo content”.
