Why use an untested engine on your crown title…I have no clue but here we are.
100% online experience, failed miserably.
They’re just taking away resources to get coop up and running to make good on their promise, cause if they miss THAT, then whole lot will be found incompetent to manage the timelines of the game.
So you’ll either see a massive overhaul of infinite in 3-4 years, of they’ll just move on to another title they have in development.
It is already known that the Devs who would work on the Desync are currently working on other projects and need to finish them first. It was from a answer on Reddit or something. The Desync will stay for longer.
If everyone who feels this way about desync stops playing the game and state in forums or elsewhere the reasons they stop paying, 343 will get the message. Will this cause them to fix it? Doubtful, but they will know.
Reason 343 keep ignoring this issue is because they can with the knowledge that the core player base will continue to play regardless.
I agree desync is a major issue that needs addressing.
Using resources on existing content is a good time management move in Infinites case because there are a lot of players looking for a PvE experience, campaign is already there no need to build content from scratch.
As long as you can play as your custom spartan, those players might utilize the shop too. But if everyone is the chief the shop will be irrelevant.
So IF a lot of players keep playing co-op campaign then its more likely 343 will invest in more PvE content.
I think a better idea is if everyone just stopped playing Halo Infinite in general… PERIOD! That would be a wake up call for 343I and there boss, Microsoft.
Rocket blast fails or registers wrong and I have to waste a second shot on a guy that should be dead. Then his buddy comes around the corner and kills me.
So a double kill for me turns into a 1:1 trade and rockets for the enemy.
It doesn’t make sense to assume that they’re not fixing desync because they want the game to fail. It’s probably much more likely that the issue is quite ingrained in the game and they don’t have the manpower or competence to fix it efficiently.
I agree, Halo Infinite was an experiment, 343 dont know what they were doing, and still dont. I mean they cant even fix the game modes people want. like a ranked team slayer and its lacking most basic stuff.
The game also need more maps to rotate.
MS was obviously not happy with the state of the game when it released, and because of this the game was Free to play.
It wouldnt surprise me though if the game one day will be a pay to play game, when its actually worth 60 dollars.
But looking at the games coming out in 2023 I dont see how Halo will survive. There are many shooters coming out this fall like COD MWF2 remaster and Overwatch 2/also free to play.
Honestly, it makes me wonder if 343’s current staff is made up of ex-Ubisoft devs, because unless it is a glitch that outright BREAKS the game or is voiced by a pro-league player; Ubi doesn’t do anything to fix it if the bug or error causes only “inconvenience” to the playerbase.
Since the game is “technically playable” and desync causes annoyance rather than breaks, if this were R6 Siege or Ghost Recon - Ubi wouldn’t fix it unless the pros were voicing their grievances.
And 343 is doing just that.
Ignoring the issue in favor of moving on to working on another part of the game.
This game is a giant experiment and I agree that desync should be priority #1. I haven’t experienced a ton of it but about once every week or two it comes out in full affect and it is tilting.
The worst part is there is no where to run when experiencing it.
Switch to social, still a mess.
Switch to BTB, load in halfway through the match.
Switch to customs, won’t save games and takes 30 minutes to get the UI to function to play one game.
Ok old Halos, when I would tilt. I would switch to a different aspect within the game.
Now I just quit for a few days.
And it is drastically affecting player base. A lot of my friends who are die hards are off playing fall guys (a game with 3 controls and marshmallow characters) for gods sake 343
They’ve been trying to actively kill halo’s fanbase since H4, where the hell have you been
And anyone who disagrees with this sentiment I’d like to redirect you/remind you of the
“we wanted to hire people who don’t like halo” quote during H4’s development
