I’m becoming less frustrated by the whole thing. Halo Infinite has truly highlighted how much I never really cared about customization so long as the game itself is fun.
I even enjoy some of the challenges. And, not for nothing, but when I get stuck with three tough rng challenges that won’t budge, I can just not participate. The game is still fun in spite.
Genuine question here, just because I’m curious. What is the difference you guys see here with the challenges in Infinite and in MCC? Both are the primary means of moving up the Season Passes, and both require players to do specific actions to complete. What’s the difference to you guys?
Free to play is what Infinite is deal with it. You’re not going to agree with everything in life bud. Crying about it online isn’t gunna change that.
I never said Infinite give a lot, in fact it is very barebones with content. But what it does provide is some of the best Halo gameplay we’ve had in many years. I don’t care about making my spartan look pretty. Gameplay is what was important for me
So keep up with your whining. No ones ever gunna take you seriously until you can discuss things like an adult
You think other peoples opinions are BS. What a waste of my time talking to you lol. Clearly you’re never wrong.
Cheers bud I’m gunna buy some cosmetics from the store now 
Weekly rewards are FOMO. People get stressed because one of the few free customisation options in the game have a deadline on obtaining them, and it’s assumed that it’s one chance to get them before you’re locked out.
They’re the only way of progressing in Infinite right now, so if you want to progress, you have to do them. Daily challenges are nicer in the notion that they don’t depend on you putting your self into specific scenarios to just get the chance to do them, but the EXP you get from them falls off fast.
MCC has six games worth of content to go though, whereas in Infinite is light on content. Custom games also isn’t in a great condition ether. These both contribute to the fact that once you start to get bored with the sandbox available in match making, there isn’t really much you can do other than try to progress in the battle pass.
Hey, I recognize your name from the classic bungie forums! Btw, I agree. Challenges were never fun, even when they were in Reach. I want to have fun playing the game, not doing chores.
I haven’t been too annoyed with the challenges just yet. Its annoying i cant pick the damn game mode, yes. Like if i need oddball wins 3x, i seriously dont even mind if it takes me 9 oddball games to get 3 wins, if i can manually select oddball. Luckily ive been pretty lucky with challenges, but its still a tad annoying.
That said, since i maxed out the battlepass and just playing to play however the heck i please, i am actually enjoying it more to be totally honest. Id like to see an overhaul where challenges are just extra progressjon, not main progression. That way i can do then if I want, not need to do then
After reading many of your replies it seems anything 343 releases you will buy and support them no matter what. The more I read from you the less your opinions matter
" Halo infinite multiplayer is free deal with it"
Shows what type of person you are. Clearly your tone deaf because this has been an issue for the last decade and shutting up about it isn’t going to do anything. Speaking out does. IDC if it had to be said a million times. Halo shouldn’t be free and it will hurt in the long run cause of it. FACTS.
If you have an objective-based challenge in MCC, you can choose to just play objective-based game types. It’s way more of a gamble on Infinite. People have gone almost a week without ever getting the game type they need for a challenge.
Not really. Didn’t like 5 at all multiplayer and campaign were terrible. If your reading my posts and think I agree with everything 343 has done then clearly you don’t know how to read.
Free to play has its own pros and cons dude. The cons being there will be customization locked behind a paywall. Another being, without a good anti cheat this game will see it’s fair share of hackers.
The pros are there will be more people playing Infinite, which keeps the population healthy. Another being the amount of free content and updates that will come to the game overtime with the revenue they earn from cosmetics.
Just because I like Halo Infinite doesn’t mean my opinions don’t matter. If you expect everyone to think like you and agree with you, you need to grow up. Right now it feels like majority of the people I disagree with are spoiled children, cause everything has to be their way and they won’t accept any changes. They dismiss other peoples opinions because in their head, they’re always right.
Good luck with that mentality. My advice would be if you don’t like Infinite, don’t play it. Such a novel idea right there
Funny. I’m not talking about the game itself at all. You talking about knowing how to read but you miss my main point. Point is free to play is bad and new players isn’t an excuse. A good game has a healthy population wether it’s paid for or not. In fact free to play is driving players away because of of bare everything is BECAUSE of it being free.
If they didnt make it free was the game ready? Would you have paid full price for the game as it is? I bet many wouldn’t have even touched it with a ten foot pole.
That fact that your not disgusted by the store being in there before slayer says everything about you. It’s ok. You don’t want to fight for gamers freedoms in choice.
But don’t act like it being free to play was a good choice. Nothing you say will ever defend it
Funny I was talking about your assumption that I defend 343 on everything. I see even the point I made you just dodged it. It was expected you wouldn’t address it because you’re never wrong.
Who’s being driven away? Lmfao the game has been topping xbox charts since it cane out. Let me guess you’re gunna bring us the steam population and think that’s a majority of players.
Your other points made no sense but I’ll humour them anyways.
No I was not happy that individual playlists were not there at the start. Was I concerned that 343 was not going to address this soon? No. They have a huge track record, one if the few companies out there, that communicate and update the fans regularly. When people got upset, of course 343 was going to address it. If you’re expecting perfection from a game developer or video game, get a a software degree and make a video game yourself. I’m sure it will have so much content and top game charts for months.
But at the end of the day it’s just a video game. Not gunna lose any sleep over it. If I don’t like a game, I don’t play it. So simple
Even in terms of a free to pay system, Halo Infinite could do better, especially with his restrictive it is with its current customization. Destiny 2 has effectively the same coloring system with shaders and yet they don’t charge actual money for them and let you use them on practically everything. They also provide you an in-game currency outside of the premium to unlock weapon skins and such each week in a rotating section of the store.
So long as you have to rebuy armor coatings, don’t unlock a full suite of armor from armor kits, armor is only available from the pass, and cross core customization is restricted then 343 ain’t getting a dime.
Funny. Other games with less money. Less workers. Less everything but they still come out with more content on day one. Look at spilt gate. More game modes on launch than infinite but yet it’s a triple A game. Don’t make me laugh bro.
I don’t expect anyone to think like me. I expect gamers to not buy into this scam of a game. I expect gamers to push back on bad practices but again. You will defend 343 no matter what and it’s pretty clear you will because your making excuses at every turn as to why it’s free to play. Halo 3 never had a population problem and it had maps packs for sale. Something that separated the player base. So don’t give me that piss poor excuse
Halo 3 was one of the only first person shooters on the market at the time, only competing with cod and battlefield. Plus back then you got 8-10 maps in a 3 year life cycle for the game, compared to the amount of content that generally comes with a game that’s monetized. Look no further than Halo 5, which received more content updates in it’s life than all previous Halo games put together. When you also consider how negatively received Halo 5 was, with its horrible campaign and terrible multiplayer gameplay, they still made a crap ton of stuff to keep the game alive.
With Halo Infinite playing like a true Halo game, it’s excellent story and hands down one of the best multiplayer experiences in terms of gameplay, the developers will pump this game with as much content as the can *overtime
So you’re asking me to push back on what?It’s a bummer it’s missing a lot of features,however 343 have already said it’s coming so whyget mad over something we can’t control.
I’ll gladly support 343 for finally bringing Halo back into the limelight after Bungie left it to die
Halo 5 is objectively better no matter how you spin it. Name one thing I can’t do in halo 5 that I can do in infnite. Pickups? That’s it? Lol. There’s nothing new about Halo iffinite. Everything there has been done and proven to be a mess. Why do you think equipment wasn’t in lmg like that back in Halo 3 days? Because it didn’t work. Same as the abilities which is far worse this time around
“Yeah missing content sucks” yeah that’s the fight I’m talking about. But now since everyone bent over for 343 now game devs know they can release an incomplete game and youll buy. You already did. They already got you and you don’t even see it
Stop it Halo 5 completely changed the formula of Halo. Half of the Og fans hated sprint, now you’re adding thruster and ground pound. These were horrible mechanics. I know Halo 5 has a small community who love the game, but it pushed away many Halo fans from the series.
Idk why you’re talking about lmg and equipment, majority of the community loved equipment. If it’s a concern then they can remove equipment in ranked.
You’re last point actually hurt my brain. What did I buy? The game is free-to-play
Lmao yeah I bought a free game good logic.
If you don’t support the game then don’t play it. The game is fun to play 300 matches in so good luck with whatever your issue with the game is
It didn’t change the formula. It ADDED TO IT. Halo infinite changed the formula because now you have grapples repulsor sheilds. All of which were never in halo like they are now. All these things change the fourmula because you are no longer equal anymore.
Halo 2 is eqaul. Halo 5 is equal because THERE ARE NO EXCLUSIVE movement options. Like you don’t get my point here. Yes I like Halo 5. But I’m advocating for it not because of the abilites I’m advocating for it because you move the same from start to finsish. This is why I would rather classic over infinite
You said great story so I assume you played it if your saying it’s great. If you played it then means you paid for it even if it’s on game pass
Sure let’s agree to disagree about Halo 5. We can let the population for 5 speak for itself (which dropped dramatically after a month)
Your point about equipment being on the map is the same as finding other weapons on a map lmao wtf. So if I find a shotgun now I can 1 shot my opponents up close. Whatever dude think what you want I guess
Yes the game came with my new Series X. Did I enjoy the campaign? Absolutely. Does this have anytHing to do with supporting the multiplayer? Obviously not. Just like How I buy COD every year, I only play the campaign. Doesn’t mean I’m supporting multiplayer.
Keep going this is great
The challenges in MCC are also more generalized, like get 100 kills with heavy weapons, with a weapon of your choice in any mode you like. (Campaign, PVP and PVE)
And not get 100 kills with the cindershot in PVP (if you are lucky enough to get your hands on the cindershot and if you are lucky that the cindershot will spawn on the map you are playing).
