They’re not looking into -Yoink!-. The game is just a money pit for taxes.

Back to MCC I guess?
Infinite is still worth playing, it’s just suckish atm when it comes to customization.

Excuse me SIR! But it is the big evil microsoft behind all of this!!! Not poor lil 343 !!!
… Despite microsofts other flagship title this season , Forza Horizon 5, being one of the most fun, consumer friendly, games ever. And Microsoft being the most consumer friendly game company this gen.

I personally think Halo Infinite is the most fun I’ve had in multiplayer since Halo 3. To each his own, I guess.
Consumer friendly
Leaves MCC (a game that actually costs money) in shambles
Refuses to take sprint out of Halo
Charges $20 for a Mark VI nut cup.
So friendly.
I would say no, the games not worth sticking around long term until they fix the battlepass garbage and give us individual playlists.

Ya I’d argue those decisions are on 343 not microsoft. If it was microsoft they’d be pushing this on all their first party MP titles, but they are not.

Exactly. They have no problem dividing up MCC’s 15,000 population into 500 different playlists/social options/custom games, but what for a game with around 400-500k? 3? Pfffffffftt.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully those issues will be fixed one day.

according to Wikipedia and their own site certain affinity had hands in developing halo infinite and has been involved since before halo 4 in making maps and more.
And they made Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer in it’s entirety if I’m not mistaken.
343 has yet to make a true halo game at launch, everything is always halted baked. Like reach have us a campaign, forge, theater, multiplayer, multiple maps and game modes, a shot ton of armor and effects all for $60 we now have to spend $60 just for a campaign, and $20 for one armor set that doesn’t work with half the armor in the game, this whole thing is just a cash grab. Like how was this game made by “Halo Fans”. There’s nothing halo about this all cool things are sold and not earned
No, they remade like 6 maps, halo 2 multiplayer made by bungie basically made Xbox live, you need to go learn your history. Party chat came from halo 2
I don’t play MCC, I kept to H5 and loved it. your perception of everyone “hates” the game is wrong. I love it,
yep, need some minor fixes and a couple of major fixes, but hey nowadays everybody says the “games are broken on released”, 343i can´t please everyone.
lets keep asking for fixes and better BP, stay or don’t stay, this game was made thinking for new players, old layers, PC gamers, console gamers, again impossible to please everyone.
Can’t really speak for the OP, but I’d happily provide you with a laundry list of actual gameplay complaints.
True I was actually thinking about playing it. Such a sad time for Halo.
Exactly. Hence why I brought up Forza.
As long as you don’t mind if I tack a few on myself. There are definite issues with this game revolving around core mechanics and features.
They have yet to make a Halo game period.

Absolutely acceptable, I’d actually appreciate you adding to the list if you have more than what I list here:
- No Player Collision
- No Friendly Fire
- Heavy vehicles (the whole point of BTB) never spawning, or if they do it’s with seconds left
- Terrible, irredeemably bad menus with too many layers on every facet of the game and horizontal scrolling
- Radically bad HUD for no reason, not even an option to use the classic HUD layout and bullet counter (plus grenades not being shown side by side)
- Player outlines detract from the good-looking armor which is the whole reason they removed the Red vs Blue team colors to begin with. Just remove them from the game and give us names/service tags above our team mates.
- No map interactions (think opening gates on High Ground or Zanzibar, lowering bridges, teleporters, conveyor belts, etc)
- BTB maps are very bad for ground vehicles, no wide open space for them to do their thing. Feels like you’re stuck on an F1 racetrack.
- Tiny number of emblems and can’t even customize them like you used to (Where’s my Valkyrie emblem 343?)
- Motion tracker range is too small, and their solution was to extend it by a measly 4 meters in BTB. So now we can’t build up a sense of spacial awareness when we see a dot on the radar because it’s a different distance based on the playlist.
- No overall military rank and no way to earn XP for it outside of challenges even if it was in the game
- No commendations (like in Reach)
- No lobbies (Most Halo games have had a lobby on screen where you see all players in the party on the side of the screen, be able to click each one to see a full service record and pic of their spartan)
- Custom games settings absolutely bare bones
- Only general playlists of “quick play, BTB, or Ranked”
- No blood
- Competitive Ranks are back to the medal tiers of Iron, Bronze, Silver, etc instead of the 1-50 system that was in Halo 2, 3, 4(just on the website) and MCC and the current ranking system has almost no way to go down.
- Lots of missing classic weapons
- Bots that fill social games when players quit or disconnect are set on Marine which is laughably easy and basically ruins your teams chance of winning if it’s a Slayer game because the bot will give free kills.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and
- Battlepass full of filler
- Can’t customize our colors the way we want to
- Store, don’t like it at all
I feel like I’m missing more, but please feel free to add to it
PS, I understand several of these aren’t gameplay, it was much easier to take the list I already had made and give the whole thing to you
