Anyone giving Love to 343?

CUSTOM BUTTON MAPPING
was one of the biggest underrated improvements to the Halo Series in INFINITE
and i didn’t hear anyone say it
if they did, it was a little piddley remark that was dismissed by both the commenter themselves and audience

but then we have
FIELD OF VIEW HORIZON
you can turn your screen fisheye to see beside you.
WHAT!?
I was chirping 343 about needing this, after they installed it of course,
and NO ONE ANYWHERE bothered saying

“343 HAS custom field of View!”

then we have
ZOOM Sensitivity customization!

oh ho ho, but don’t forget
Custom Weapon GIF location
You can customize your weapon offset s o your wide screen, superwide, miniature monitor or 32" bedroom tv
has an optimized field of view!

so I’m all like,
yeah, I paid $40 for socks, got myself a nice Pillow and some other affects
but, “what ingame Microsale am I gonna be All About, because my Rockstar Gold Rhine is only good for warthogs and assault rifles… so I’m int he market still…”

:metal:

Custom Button mapping was a great touch. I made my Infinite Controls my Reach Controls. Playing Halo 5 felt super wrong until I found out you can actually remap your controller on Xbox.

120 FOV is nice, but I need MORE.
QUAKE PRO BABY COME ON.

I’m having too much fun playing to hop on and complain about anything to be honest.

I hope the store prices go down, but I’ve actually gotten a ton of customization options available through the $10 BP, Campaign, and HCS twitch drops.

My playlist rotation (not in any set order, just what I’ve been playing the most).
Team Slayer,
Quick Play,
BTB,
FFA,
Ranked solo/duo controller.

When you can get into BTB games this actually gives a pretty great variety of maps and modes

What they don’t have is dynamic zoom control for the scoped weapons.

I can’t even toggle the secondary zoom on the sniper without unchecking the “hold to zoom” box in the settings menu.

Look. I want 343 to succeed, and they have done a good job in eras. That being equipment, bringing the BR back, and having a good combat system when it decides to work outside of desync and hit reg. AND FINALLY… actually responding to tickets made by players. They still have a long ways to go before this game will take my favorite game (Halo 3) title belt away from it.

If they want my respect, money, and time they have to earn it. They have 2 past games, and MCC to learn from, especially MCC and all they good they did there, but failure to implement any of it into Infinite. Exp progression, way to get cosmetics (really good looking ones too) outside of a marketplace.

One underrated QoL thing Infinite has going compared to H5, is I don’t feel like paddles are required to do well at high platinum and beyond. They weighed definitely help, but I’m finding that I can keep up really well with just the classic controller.

I literally stopped playing H5 and went back to H3 in 2020 because my Elite series 2’s left bumper went out, and it was just impossible to keep up without paddles.

Where it’s due, criticism in place where love can eventually be given.

well don’t you feel like everytime you have a spare moment you do a 360 jump
and think

WOW if i could play a skateboarding HALO game I WOULD

all you need is forced Continual generally-forward motion, when not in the air, and a point meter for riding Clamber edges and sticking 180’s and 360’s.
With kills.
LOL

i do… every day.

i 360 off every ledge and object.

“ope. ledge coming up.” | “ope. here I go.” | “Ope. yep. that rocks good for it… yip yip.” | “Hope I dont get shot or nothing. HIUGH!” | “Oh Oh Oh. there it is. thank God. no one shot me.” | “Woot.” | “He’ll escape anyways. might as well stick this 360 and remain unseen.”

u shoot eachother to stop the pt meter…

343 can’t hear you, they’ve been on vacation for 47 weeks.

oh thank goodness. or i’d get my 4th account deleted for spamming everywhere.
you should see my record…

Going off your title I think it’s actually hard for a lot of players. It’s not that they don’t want to, at least Imo most aren’t about “hate”, it’s more about venting their frustrations and some don’t know how to tell the difference between (hate and frustration) that leads to many dumb so-call conversations on this forum, or any forum for that matter.

From where I stand, basic things added to a game that some companies do without any questions asked that has to be asked with 343 isn’t working for a lot of players. Mainly because a lot of it should be a no-brainer. I can give the devs that do the actual work credit for the work they have put into this game, and I do appreciate it, but when it comes to the very poor leadership, they seriously need some major counseling.

343i have made a lot of mistakes over the years and yeah right now infinite feels unfinished because certain modes aren’t in the game yet and certain features are broken but honestly, halo hasn’t been in such a good place since reach came out. They really have something solid here with infinite, I get peoples criticism and a lot of it is justified but I’ve also read a lot of real bad takes on the forums too. The campaign isn’t perfect, but it’s waaay better than halo 5 (which isn’t hard) and it took the good parts of halo 4’s campaign and the heavy inspiration from the original trilogy and just made it work in my opinion. I’m still kinda mad that btb is pretty broken right now and I really hope there’s a fix soon so I can start playing btb with my friends again. But everything else will come in time. Am I disappointed that certain modes and features like campaign co-op and infection weren’t in at launch and we still don’t know exactly when they’ll be added apart from the estimated 6 months for co-op? Absolutely. But more will come in time and I look forward to it. This is the best halo game that’s been released in a long time and I cannot wait to see what they add/bring back. This game can only get bigger and better!

The only thing I can give the props for is being able to drop weapons. That’s it. Otherwise they back pedaled on ALOT of features and mechanics

There are so many more cons to even acknowledge the pros.

Explain what fun you have. You rotate between the same maps we have already been playing for months.

What exactly are you having fun in

What an absurd argument to make. How do you explain a subjective feeling in objective terms? They enjoy playing the game, stop trying to rob them of that.

At some point looking at someone play with sticks and dirt peaks my curiosity, like “how do they have fun with this?”. It’s a legitimate question

well for keyboard and mouse this has been a thing since PC CE so maybe that’s why, however this is th first game i’ve seen it avalible for controller.

This game will fail no question

Well its a good thing that they arent playing with sticks and dirt then. Theyre playing Halo, a game they probably love just for the franchise name. How do they have fun with it? Probably because they arent jaded and would rather focus on what is enjoyable about the game instead of constantly comparing it to what it lacks.

Lol sticks and dirt… Youre just piling on the absurdity. Just because you dont find ways to entertain yourself with sticks and dirt doesnt mean theres anything wrong with sticks and dirt. It just means you arent creative enough to figure out how to make it a fun experience.
