Custom Games Browser Feedback Thread

Games Halo Infinite
72

Correct me if I am wrong and some of these are already existing or is being addressed but here are my following feedback so far. Also, I am factoring in SMART so I’m not expecting anything immediate, hoping for these over time. Even if it takes years with other top proprieties taking precedence.

Feedback - Host Required Tag/Filter Option

Description: Allow party leader/host to be required to tag their game with one or more, maybe up to 3, tags to choose from and allow others to filter out what they do and don’t want to play. MCC did something like this. Hope to see Infinite evolve on this subject.

Reason: I know it might be a little bit of a challenge to perfectly nail this one down but to help ensure a fun experience. This way users can filter out the less desirable custom games that often plague the CGB, often times toxicifying the Halo 5/MCC CGB and find more the customs they are more interested in. So be able to filter out tags for “Social Space”, “Clan Recruitment” (MILSIM roleplay), “Raids” (Clan Raids), “Assassination/Vanity Tower”, “Forge” (Forge Mode) and instead find games like “Minigames”, “Infection”, “Jump”, “Competitive”, “Casual”, “Racing”, “Puzzle”, “Battle Royale”. As well as maybe one day even a “Modded” option if 343 ever allows modded custom games to be played on the Infinite CGB

Feedback - Custom Playlists

Description: Just like MCC, have the ability to set up multiple custom games with rounds, time, rules, and other options

Reason: So when one playlist ends, another starts instead of going back to dashboard or being stuck playing one map over and over. Thus having player retainment

Feedback - Add Queue System

Description: If match is full, join with a waiting queue when a spot opens

Reason: Sometimes players see a custom they really want to play and are willing to wait

Feedback - Fixes to technical issues with CGB

Description: Address the join function glitching requiring players to restart the entire game multiple times, laggy joining connections as well as disconnections, as well as backing out getting stuck trying to leave. Also accuracy in player count, sometimes says 1/28 players but joining it says match is full.)

Reasons: They are making the CGB currently a slog to get through and make me want to just go back to MCC because it makes joining such a hassle.

Again, I know some of these may take a lot of time, possibly not even going to happen maybe, but I think these would really good additions that would improve the CGB mode with a better experience

Love it! What a great surprise.

That being said, I find the UI/UX to be quite akward. When I click a lobby in the browser, I expect it to at least take me to the lobby. I find it odd I just sit there and I need to navigate to the Custom Games lobby on my own. And while in the lobby, I find it odd that pressing esc/B does not let me leave the fireteam. I just go to the main menu while still in the fireteam. After 200 hours in this game, I just found out how to leave a fireteam. Tab → click my name → select leave. I do not know how that is easer than just pressing back.

Also, I find it odd if I quit a match mid game, that is when I go to the Custom Game lobby. It makes more sense to go back to the browser.

It is part of a larger problem where navigating the menus while in matchmaking/still technically in a lobby is a confusing feature with no clear benefits, but the CGB makes the issues with this feature way more obvious.

What are you talking about? Sounds like a forge issue, not a CGB issue.

I would love to see offline support. Please allow us to access saved custom modes and maps offline!

Ive had little to no issues, its worked great. Maybe ping should automatically be ascending when you first enter the cgb though - I mean who is actively looking for connection issues anyways? On another note, it would also be nice to have an effective way of leaving a lobby after tbe match ends. Id say thats more cumbersome than it needs to be

Cant believe this feedback needs stated, but oh well here we go. It is a terrible idea to ban a player from accessing forge as opposed to uploading content if you deem their content inappropriate. It is almost as terrible an idea as forge being online only in the first place though they are fighting hard for the title of second dumbest decision in infinite so far. First place obviously goes to the king of infinite desync and ignoring it for a year to sell multiple passes without any content or improvements to baseline stability.

It seems that many players are unable to load into games near the top of the list, and workaround it by starting at the bottom so perhaps a way to unlist those games appropriately when they are currently full would be in order? Great that forge is allowing the community to do the work to finish infinite on content, but we are still at the mercy of 343I on the core game so that is why its so problematic to have engaged creators banned from forge to me. Your already designing things so that the community does the heavy lifting, but to kneecap them along the way for funzies seems unnecessary.

As per the OP:

You need to submit a ticket on the Halo Support site

pain. It’s all pain.

There’s not enough users to generally get a stable game going on.

The game modes you can get are always hit or miss.

Digletts was fun the first thousand times.

There’s no way to look for games of different modes going active.

I’m struggling really hard to care right now, y’all.

CGB is the only thing that we can use when 343 blunders on the playlists. If it doesn’t work, it kills gameplay.

My own thoughts are that you should just play MCC. :rofl:

I am not a fan of this UI at all. I prefer the list format like in the MCC customs browser and let’s be honest, that has been the standard customs / server browser set up since multiplayer gaming immemorial for a reason. It works well to present relevant information in a conveniently readable way). I find this tiled format somewhat annoying to actually read, and there are not as many games listed per page.

Additionally, I don’t understand why there isn’t a player count sort option. Who cares about max players?

Needs to be any easy way to pair maps with their intended modes.

Custom lobbies created by 343 so it only has a specific gametype and not like player created ones which they may change them anytime

I just want to be able to bring my party/fireteam with me when I join a game in the CGB

Hi!

Say I’m on the fourth page of the CCB, I select a lobby but after some thoughts I don’t want to join this game and goes back to the CCB with “B” (Controller).

At that moment, I would prefer to still be on page 4 instead of going back on page 1. (Same goes for Popular Maps, Modes, etc.)

Take care !

Let me able to set “Ping” as sorting measurable for CGB games. Playing in EU and seeing 130-170 ping games is one thing, navigating to right menu, choosing “Ping” and refreshing page is another. Perfect solution - tight it to search range in game settings or make another setting right under it
