I created a poll the other day in a pretty large Halo Infinite community.
I wonder if 343 could take a survey like this on a larger scale to gauge what the fans want right away. MSFS does a great job tracking community requested content and fixes, 343 should do the same.
My poll got over 700 votes so far.
The poll was this:
Which of these would bring you back to OR keep you playing Halo Infinite?
I had over 50 options to choose from but here are the top 40 in order of votes.
Fix desync
Add new or legacy maps
Campaign dlc
Fix melee
Forge
Co-op
Add new or legacy weapons
Better anti cheat

Bring back Warzone from H5

Have Br starts in btb and more vehicle centric maps
Add friendly fire to social
Infinite reminds me of Destiny 2 on how Bungie changed the entire game. They spent the next 2 years or so after D2 launched wasting time and the resource when they could have taken that time designing a game moving it forward by simply using what has worked for the game, the feedback/previous titles they have had over the years
343 literally pulled a Bungie down to the T…
“f2p”
“Live service”
Based the entire game around the shop/SP
Using challenges in hopes to forcing players to play how they want them to play.
Using “RNG” to extend that unnecessary padded playtime
I could easily make a huge list on all the wrong things 343 did with Infinite to follow Bungie’s footsteps that there were way too many unnecessary changes for selfish reasons. Do you know why the original Bungie was successful, and I’m not referring to financial success?
They were successful because they were developers that were gamers that had heart, (and there were key devs that were board members that actually cared about the work they were producing in spite of whatever issues took place.) You could see the passion, talent, motivation, inspiration put into Halo.
None of that is applied to infinite outside of devs doing their job that don’t have a say. It’s even at the point that devs are leaving 343 because it’s that bad. 343 had the opportunity to design a grate game, but the higher-ups running 343 and Microsoft had other plans. Right now, the only thing that will bring me back is the forge world, to see what they have done because the rest of the entire game is literally broken that it will take a miracle to get it in a good place.
After seeing how many options there’re I got overwhelmed. Obviously, there’s many things that can and will be added in over time. Playable elites/brutes would be a pretty neat new capacity of Halo Infinite that I’d like to experience.
Desync and melee are two game items that are very frustrating on the online experience side of Halo Infinite.
It feels terrible to aim. It lacks animations in just about every action performed (re-scope, strafe de-accel, etc.) so looks jerky. It has horrid server de-sync issue and thus terrible shot reg. It’s just bad.
It’s painful to go back to H2 or H3 after playing this because it shows just how bad it misses at feeling like a Halo game. Even H4, as bad as it was at launch (legendary slayer is more in line with classic Halo), feels like Halo when shooting a target.
Everyone says the gameplay loop is great, but it lacks content. They don’t know Halo and were probably in diapers when Halo was at its prime. We could play Halo 2 Lockout 1v1 for 48 hrs straight and not be bored, it isn’t content that is the main problem. Sure it’s one of them, but if the gameplay was great you’d wait on content. We had the color blue and red back then and no armor to pick from, the difference is the game was amazing and kept you coming back, not some unlocks. This game misses on all ends and it hurts to admit it. On to the next, they need to cut their losses and hire a competent team.
Yes! Any 2v2 mode would work. A larger LSS 2v2 would be so much fun though. A true BR would bring people back I think. That’s the thing with most players atm. The game is dying and the only people left are true fans and even they are getting board or giving up hope. To be fair 343 has terrible communication and that’s why I think this poll by Hunter is so critical.
You forgot that The Custom Games Area still needs to get fix!! I just wonder if they ever going to fix The Custom Games Area. It’s been 9 mos. since the release date. Are you kidding me? What the hell is the problem?
Desync is a must. The integrity of the game is at stake.
Forge looks soooo good. Please don’t let there be any delays.
Campaign co-op is imminent.
New maps are surely coming. And if not Forge to the rescue.
Server selection is on it’s way!
Ranked Slayer and FFA - not that fussed about the former (I like the mix of Slayer and Objective games) - but FFA is a must. And with Doubles coming they said that adding new game modes will be easier in the future.
FSR 2.0 - probably won’t be looked at until they get the engine / desync under control.
