You know it’s bad when all the comments are like “at least there is this or that.” Expectations have devolved so far it’s crazy for a flagship title. Like, I mean halo is on the box for my xbox series x. Halo, battlefield 2042, and Vanguard all are kind of in the same basket which is weird to observe. Incomplete titles will continue to release as long as people keep buying them. Basically the lesson I learned here is when an anticipated title is first released, wait a few months to see what it’s about instead of pre ordering or buying on release date. As long as people keep buying, this substandard level of quality will continue.

Oh I’m waiting alright. Not coming back till Spartan Career Progression is incorporated. No tracked stats or medals on waypoint? Like wtf. Looks like I’ll be waiting till at least Season 3 with that lazy, bleak roadmap they released.
Starring at my screen for 5 minutes to find a ranked game. prime time in middle europe. I highly doubt this game will see a season 3…
Imma be real. They shoulda delayed. Now we’re having to wait another half year for a few fragments of content people are gonna get bored of in a month after releasing it. Not to mention the amount of revising they had to do after launch. The other problem is they have stated themselves “WE THE FAITHFUL COMMUNITY ARE IN THE WAY OF GETTING A BROAD AUDIENCE” and they have continuously gone a different direction from what the player base NEEDS! They are aiming at an audience that Simple’s doesn’t exist. THAT or the “audience” they are aiming to are gonna play the game once or twice then say it’s boring and leave. The rout 343i is going is going to kill the game. Not to mention the absolute BS that is the fact that now we have to buy armors that where free in previous games with real money. I barely touch this game now because I can assure you. This game is no longer built for us vet players anymore. I started in halo 2 on Xbox original. It’s sad to see the road this franchise has gone in terms of community treatment and accessibility.

Pardon the trash typing (iPhone user here) and typo is trash……
The game offers too little for too much. It won’t be good for a long long time. Mabey never

Most likely never. 343i doesn’t care about us anymore. They care about money and an audience that simply doesn’t exist.

Here I was thinking we would get 10 years of new content, not that it would take 10 years to finish the base game.

What’s funnier is the fact that, back when halo 5 was new almost everyone hated it. But once infinite came out in the shape that it was. Everyone went back to halo 5 like infinite never existed. It’s sad that infinite flopped but also heart warming to see halo 5 get the love it deserved.
In my opinion halo 5’s multiplayer was the best, I absolutely loved it. It beat every other game by a mile. It was the only game I wanted to play. It made me get bored of any other game really. Especially halo 5’s forge, it was soooo gooood bro.

That’s what happened to me with the MCC. I hadn’t played MCC in so long because of so many bugs and having played all those games a lot when they originally launched. My Halo buddy and I have been playing MCC weekly, doing the challenges and unlocking stuff to use in the campaigns. Pretty fun. I didn’t play MP on Halo 5 much, usually the campaign draws me into a game, and I stick around for the MP. I have heard good things about Halo 5 MP tho.

Halo 5 was hated mostly for it Campaign.
The Forced 4 player team with Brain Dead AI, along with the entire game being long corridors.
Plus the,
“Safe area Story Break time about why 343i Hates the UNSC and the Murder Hobo Aliens children are Human too guys”.
The Writing of Halo 5 is utterly bankrupt, It checked a load of weird preogressive Idioms and crammed them into a Story they don’t fit into.
Then when it came to multiplayer…
It was… different. I still don’t think it was very good.
The movement system butchered how maps were designed,
And Warzone had Horrendous P2W Micro-Transactions. You could Drop 200 Dollars into it and You could spend the match spawning Vehicles with a Giant middle finger soldered onto the Hood.
Or be that one guy that ALWAYS had the BR that could killed in 1-2 Less shots.

Understandable. Ya, I had some problems with the campaign. My main issue was with halo 5 multiplayer though was in the customs browser half the time map thumbnails where just straight up -Yoink!-……
Lmao the censorship. What I was saying was, on the customs browser map images/thumbnails where basically images of naughty things if you catch my drift.
Microtransactioned Forge will ensure the very death of Halo forever…mark my words it CANNOT happen without consequences!

If anything people need to keep their fantasies to themselves. Be it anime, furry (mostly furry for some reason)…. Half the time it’s suggestive images of that stuff on customs browser. -_-
Yeah, if transactions are implemented in forge. Yeah. That’ll be the death of halo infinite and 343i. People are already on their tails for them selling armor parts that where free in previous games. If they make a paywall of any sort for forge it’s game over.
As of now 343i reminds me of some money hungry devs I know of ehem epic games and mobil game devs….
As much as I hate to say it I do believe that it will be game over for halo infinite by the time season 3 comes out. At least from a growth perspective. Like, I don’t think the newer generation of gamers (broader audience) will be like “Hey, they just updated the game that’s more than a year old, let’s get on this!” Modern consumerism won’t allow it. From a live service perspective, the window of opportunity is really short. This is what the industry themselves have created by releasing new titles each year (call of duty). And you see the continual issues that live service games in the past have gone through. If it doesn’t succeed right away, it’s pretty much done for. It’s what the consumers now expect. It seems the part of the formula that is missing here is to create an engaging environment first, then come in with the live service bells and whistles. This game just skipped step 1. Which leads me to speculate that it might have been better to include an altogether different multiplayer in infinite instead of double dipping with a stand alone free to play multiplayer. Like a multiplayer in infinite and a separate live service title. It would have been a better perceived value to the consumer (see updates to cyberpunk). I mean, at least cyberpunk issued refunds. I believe all infinite players got for season 1 were tier skips and challenge swaps?
