Experienced Opinion About Halo Infinite. Some points are very obvious

343- “Add a feature, break a feature”

-This game had a terrible premature launch in so many ways. First halo game in history with no actual built in Service Record, XP/Level/Playlist Rank, or Campaign at launch. Every feature keeps getting delayed with 343 multiple times. They had plenty of money, resources, and time. What is 343 thinking? Did they pocket their 500 million dollars or just use it for advertising? This game had the highest budget in video game history. Look it up there are videos and documentaries about their time and budget. There is no excuse for this high level of incompetence.

-FYI the halo waypoint Legacy Stats page has been very very broken since before the launch of MCC. Still no fix or update for legacy games. I feel insulted to have every halo game maxed out but my Legacy shows half those titles aren’t even played.

I get it…@343 Industries. You want to slowly lure us into new content over time so we keep playing. Just know this: “It’s better to have a stable KNOWN launch date from the start and release with a bang and most content at the start. That gives the new game more publicity and hype.”

343 needs to refresh themselves on what made Halo great in the first place years ago when bungie owned the franchise.

OHH I almost forgot to mention Halo Infinite does not have individual playlists at launch. I cannot remember a Halo game that didn’t. (Team Doubles, Team Snipers, Team Swat, FFA/Lone Wolves, Team Slayer, etc.) Most people want individual playlists like all the other Halos. -->(everything on infinite is grouped together in like “Quickplay” and you cant choose what exact mode you want to play.)<-- We need more original content. The Battles pass is called “Heroes of Reach” and is literally Halo Reach armor.

EDIT - I HAD TO PIN MY COMMENT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T EXPAND THE COMMENTS:

"They had 6 BETAs then. (Closed Alpha, Closed BETA Week 1, Closed BETA Week 2, Open BETA Week 1, Open BETA Week 2). I don’t have to explain this. The official game is out. Don’t fool yourself. Anyone who was there at the release of all the Halo games will say this game is lacking a lot of key aspects at launch.

YOU DONT REMEMBER HOW MANY MANY TIMES THEY DELAYED THIS GAME. WAS IT 4 TIMES. THEN RELEASED IT A MONTH EARLY. It wasn’t even supposed to be out until December. They randomly released it on November 15th without announcing it.

THEY HAD AN EXTREMELY LONG TIME AND MONEY TO MAKE THIS.

PEOPLE WERE LEAVING FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE HALO INFINITE PLAYER BASE IS MOSTLY CONCERNED.

THIS IS THE FLAGSHIP TITLE OF XBOX AND A MAKE OR BREAK FOR THE HALO POPULATION. THEY ARE SCREWING IT UP.

THE LAST HALO LAUNCHED ON October 27, 2015. THATS A LOT OF TIME!!!

DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT HALO 5. NO ONE LIKES HALO 5. ITS A FAIL."

Read. No it doesn’t. They are grouped together. How do I play 2v2 or 4v4 SWAT or 4v4 Snipers. The idividual playlists are gone. They had this at the start of basically every Halo game. Even Halo 2.

Halo 3 didn’t have Snipers or SWAT at launch. At some point they also locked out all players who didn’t own the map packs from playing those playlists too. It launched with very few playlists. Some of those playlist were absolutely dog as well, they got rid of them and never even tried to bring them back.

Bruh would you say they grouped H3 because one flag, one bomb, KOTH and oddball were all in the stinky Team Objective ranked playlist.

Halo CE didn’t have ranks, levels or XP. Halo 2 just had competitive ranks, nothing else. Halo 3 added playlist ranks way after launch. Reach launched without a ranked playlist, and capped social progression. Older Halo games had stats on Bungie .net and not in game. Want stats now, just use Halotracker. Or make your own with Halo API.

Campaign is at launch. They dropped the MP early. Most people happy about that fact.

Not even true lmao, other games have costed more than $500m before. Let’s not pretend either of us have any idea how that money is used. They are also funding a 10 year plan, some do that will be projected with reinvestments and they’ll have a safety pool no doubt to offset risk.

Lol.

Your missing the point. Most of the games that applies to. All my points are valid. Obviously Halo 1 (CE) didnt have online so it didnt have stats. The campaign was there at launch with an actual set in stone and very hyped launch date planned. Not for this game.

Also use google my friend. Multiple sources say its the most expensive budget game ever produced.
I can’t post links…
Google “halo infinite highest budget ever”

“According to German website Xbox Dynasty, the budget for Halo Infinite is rumored to be a staggering $500 million . That would easily make it the most expensive video game project ever produced, with the developmental budget coming from Microsoft and 343 Industries.”

They had more than 10 years working on this game. It was secretly in production before it was announced to the public.

The majority of what you’re upset about doesn’t have any actual merit until we hit retail and these issues persist. The only things we have thus far that are considered “release” content are maps, core game modes, academy and battlepass content. That leaves a whole lot of stuff up in the air to be addressed by retail launch, which is also when the campaign will drop BTW.

I just guessed one game, googled RDR2 and the budget was $540m.

I cant believe this. You are agreeing with 343s incompetence? Unbelievable. Halo Infinite is not Halo. Waypoint stat pages are sad and under developed. They need this content at launch like every other Halo. Ranked Play is the only thing people grind for and its only 4 groups/ranks. No Service Record. It feels like an arcade game in 2021.

The campaign got delayed 3 times and Forge 2 times. Campaign will not have co-op at launch multiple sources said. Do your research.

Everyone knows this, most people just don’t care.

It’s gonna be out in like what, 6 months. That’s nothing.

Kiddo you need to spend more time reading and less time raging. I said campaign drops at retail as your own complaint was that this was the first Halo to launch without one, and that many of the issues you outline have no real merit unless they persist into retail launch, as this isn’t an early release but a beta. Everyone knows coop is delayed, you mentioning now as a a lateral argument has no bearing on your chief complaint.

Again:

This. Is. A. Beta.

I understand people are upset about a lot of things with Infinite, but the constant misrep and hyperbole about how bad this or that is, or how much better this and that was is not only getting old, it helps nothing.

It’s not a beta though. This is the day-one product. Staten said it himself when they announced that multiplayer was dropping early.

The choice behind using the wording “beta” is up for debate but timeline wise, I think it was a convenient shield to hide behind for the issues with the game.

In that announcement they (Fenchy) stated that the maps, core game modes, academy, and battlepass were “release” content. This was specifically worded and has been reiterated in their announcement blog, and in every single press release.

People absolutely have mixed feelings about the early release, but there is no evidence this is anything other than a beta outside of “I think 343i is full of it”. 3 weeks isn’t gonna kill anyone, and I have no problem giving them the benefit of the doubt until the retail launch on the 8th. If the game remains unchanged then fire away and I’ll be right there with everyone else calling them out in the lie.

Chill out bro, I don’t personally care about snipers, swat and the battle pass, the campaign will be here in a few days, so from my point of view this is a good game
