Hopefully, since this is currently in Insider Beta, the feedback will have them extend the range or even eliminate it unless players are in a linear mission capacity.
I donāt see that happening. Just reminds me of the line of thinking before the āofficialā launch that there would be more content on Dec 8th. I knew better than that then and I do now. 343 is generally clear when they say something like this and rarely if ever leaves room for surprise.
Yea i feel like that distance needs to be doubled at the very least. Maybe they have it in place so friends can have a roundabout way of fast travelling to each other if they get separated. But if thats the case, that just sounds like laziness and a way for the devs to avoid putting in a fast travel option between players.
I donāt think they had any intentions of adding co-op, but 343 sees possible money because the co-op they are adding will hopefully push people that are playing the F2P to buy the game pass or the physical campaign, without it, you canāt play co-op. Co-op should be the best version of any PVE on the market, but nope, everyone plays as the same character and must stay close to each other or Ya die.
The truth is there is nothing groundbreaking in Halo Infinite, so there is no conceivable reason why there canāt be things in this game that are in other games, other than the fact this is not a AAA gaming company, they may be linked to a trillion-dollar company, but thatās it.
The leash Microsoft has given 343 needs to be reigned in. Maybe hiring ex-Bungie developers will be something good or maybe they will teach 343 how to get away with adding the least amount of content possible and still be mega-profitable.
The thing is actually having your sparran in coop would incentize more store purchases.
And yet we have players voicing concerns over the audacity of removing the ātank gunā and how simple it is to add āco-op customizationā when even player distance is a bottleneck on the engine.
Fixing the glaring issues is far more important than frivolities.
Wow that tells me 343i really didnāt have a solid technical plan as to how to fit multiple players in this world. So much for the campaign being built for coop / splitscreen.
Salt aside it is truly baffling they choose to kill players outside the radius instead of just teleport them. That seems like yet another choice on their part that simply makes no sense?
- Iād have to jump ingame to test how restrictive this radius really is, but it does make me worry for the use of flying vehicles to cross the map.
I think 1,000 feet is ok to start with, hopefully during the flight people can leave positive feedback how itās going, then 343 can review and maybe expand the distance.
Especially for example if both players in a wasp, 1,000 feet might be a bit too small, but will see when flight comes out
But the thing is this has to be a technical limitation. If it isnāt I donāt see why itād exist in the first place. So I donāt particularly have faith in 343ās ability to just expand it if it is too small.
That said if it is not a technical limitation then why on earth is it even a featureā¦

Perfect Darkās Co-Op allowed you to go far with no consequence. This was on the N64.
They are adding new achievements when co-op releases?

There are 7 new achievements coming, mainly co-op, but will be post flight, anything earned in flight wonāt get counted

Yeah, I had read that they were adding some more achievements specifically for Co-op. Probably to give players more incentive to hop back into the Campaign. Iāll find a link and verify it for you.
Hereās one source:

Stupid limitation, likely due to the fact that last gen consoles need to run co-op. Also, inferior solution to what was said in this post.

I donāt know how small it is in-game. But GF and I havenāt played the campaign at all, so when the flight starts tomorrow we should be able to see how it goes with fresh eyes.
Thatās if we get the flight invite. I should, Iāve been an insider since the MCC days and got all the last Infinite flights.
Was playing around earlier on campaign leaving a waypoint marker and walking 304.8m away from it, didnāt seem too far, but guess weāll see when flight starts.
Has anyone even had invite yet? maybe they roll out tomorrow
I know I am waiting for the flights.

Itāll definitely have some new and frustrating experiences. Youāll figure them out though!
I can see it being a console limitation for splitscreen. But network coop shouldnt have any of these issues. Especially with dedicated servers.
