I’m starting to get extremely frustrated with this game. I’ve already limited playing this game drastically for the past few months because it has no longevity currently and I’m getting frustrated with everything.
Why can we get some reassurance about the life of this game? Why can 343i be upfront and tell us when to expect NEW content, not rehashed modes or customization.
The is the first halo game I haven’t cared to play and I’m a long time halo vet. I’m so frustrated that the lack of transparency and care just leaves us guessing. Week after week there is nothing new, old modes and “events” that use old modes or content is NOT new.
We need to know what the heck is going on. When can we expect actually content like maps, new modes, new playlists, new weapons/vehicles and FORGE! I just get angry at the neglect of the fans that supported this franchise. 6 years and we get a fraction of what a 3yr halo game.
Sorry for the rant but I’m getting tired of how we are all getting treated and especially how us 152’s got treated too.

We’re completely on the same page mate.
Regarding the situation with the sr152 thing, speaking as someone who hates 4 and 5 and would never want to attain sr152, I agree you guys are being ripped off. It sucks.

The maps are already old. I can imagine it’s even worse for BTB fans.
Even with a lack of maps, Launch Site should just be retired. It’s the worst. I’d take a Snowbound remake over it tbh.

At this point in time, 6 years ago we were all playing with forge in halo 5. One of 343s biggest mistake is not releasing the game with forge.

Yeah the maps are bad, well not bad just lackluster, better than the maps in 4 and 5. Wish they’d hire fanatics like me to start making Forge maps now in order to roll out nice content faster.
P.S. Snowbound is a great map! I don’t know why it’s so hated. Totally underrated imo.

You and me both. I’ma big time forger and would gladly make maps for them. I think a lot of forgers would. If anything I don’t know why they didn’t take the best maps that came out of Halo 5 forge and make them into dev maps in halo infinite

Yeah I can’t understand it either. Even if we had a barebones new forge with content added weekly would have been better than waiting 9-12 months for a core feature
Why not reverse the release and release forge first? Why does common sense not apply here?

Idk I want to forge so bad, I have so many maps from previous games that I’d love to make but 5 had major limitations with lighting, budget and framerate issues with cluttered objects. So I’m hoping with this one I can make the btb playlists that I want to make

I think we were able to make do. As it stands halo 5 forge can completely recreate anything. You just have to be conservative with your piece usage. With that said a higher piece count would nice and polygons will always be polygons. The more there is. The more stress it puts on the system. Sure it should be able to handle more but to spawn a 1000 trees and expect it to not have frame drops is a stretch.

Yeah that wasn’t my main issue. I just had a lot of objects for a bigger map. Btb is my favorite playlist so now with 12v12 maps are gonna be a little bit bigger and in halo 5 you kinda had to make you maps look dumbed down.
4v4 or smaller maps you could be a lot more outgoing because you didn’t have to worry so much about piece usage and all that.
I’m hoping we can merge items into one piece kinda like grouping but it will remove polygons that are t visible or reshape them. If the engine can recognize multiple pieces as one then that’s a huge win.
When I first heard that we can merge the objects together I thought that we could mesh the objects together how you say. If we were able to do that it would remove polygons and therefore be less of a stress on the system.
I did see in the leak that the piece count has been raised. One of my main gripes is that yes you can make anything but it won’t be as detailed as you would hope. For small scall stuff like 4v4 it’s well within in it’s range but for more btb and big ideas the new piece count will help.

Yeah I’m really hoping we can make very detailed maps on a larger scale with the lighting breaking and framerate issues. It was fun to build btb maps but once you aim down a certain sight line and the game would chug super hard it would discourage me to even forge. The gameplay be effected by those issues was frustrating. I’d assume that it being on pc and next gen that those issues should be very minimal
Launchsite and Behemoth are way too big to be 4v4 maps, yet too cramped for 12v12.
It’s perfect for 8v8 but 343’s MUH UI probably can’t implement that.
And every single bloody map is too cramped for vehicles.

Yup
All we have gotten from 343 is “we aren’t sure” , “when we know more we will post it”, “season 2 this” Season 2 that"
If anything they are just full of Store content aka default colors we got for free in Other halos now for the price of 10 bucks each.
Maybe they should pull back the store and just make the game not free to play. Like if I have to pay 20 bucks but it gets me all the cosmetics to grind for than why not.
But right now the store is not a item I wish to engage on when the rest of the product is sub par

I agree completely, doesn’t help that the store is way overpriced for basic colors or armor. Why would I spend 5-10 for a helmet, colors and a few stances.
Like make it way cheaper. The catalog got unlocks should be insane. I would rather the store be a huge list of everything you can get by using credits or pay money for. I’d also love a credit only store where maybe certain items you can only get the option to buy with credits if you complete a hard feat in the game.
We all know they want to make money but if we can’t have it our way then we need to reason a little I guess. I think credits will help a lot but I hope they are reasonable with them. Shoot it would be cool if we could buy a promotional product and get credits as a reward.

Hopefully ,to be honest they won’t just create a huge catalog because they want players to have FOMO.
Also they timegated basically cosmetics of the game. Which sucks be ause we basically have to wait till they sort things out before they let us have the next set of cosmetics.
I kinda wonder if those who still defend the game feel that going to a live service free to play was even worth it.
In the end we basically got the same service as a standard payed game except they paywalled most of the cosmetics. And in return we got no actual service.
It suck but to be honest I would t care if 343 gets shots down after this and revamped. At least on the executive level they need to be fired
Like how do misshandle such a large Franchise and still be employed.
Also There has been zero communication from Bonnie Ross. I wonder if she had a hand in this and is axed but we never got word of it

My guess is we get a roadmap in season 2, a new more realistic roadmap in season 3, and new content following that roadmap in season 4, beginning September 2023, which all 500 people still playing this game will love.
Be reasonable with your brutal expectations guys. The developers are working hard in difficult times, and it’s important they don’t burn out working too much. Besides, the summer holidays are coming up and the devs need some well earned vacation time.

Drip-feed content at its finest.
Nothing new is coming until S2 (3 MONTHS AWAY!!!)
It is really sad.
Welp, they ruined CoD, I guess they can ruin Halo too (the industry)

People like sketch, postums, and unyshek are hired so that people like Bonnie Ross, Frank O’Conner, etc can just enjoy their 22 vacation homes without ever needing to speak to the community (or play their game).
