So… remember when people have said Halo 4 and 5 didn’t look and play like Halo? Well with Infinite looking and playing like Halo, all of a sudden people go all “Ooh it’s too much like Halo. 343 are copying Bungie instead of doing their own thing!” Like, what? You wanted Halo and now you got it, but then tell 343 to go back to Halo 4 and 5’s style? What’s going on? Ask them to make a new ip if you want Halo 4 and 5’s style back.

Whahahaha, infinite is trash, a total ripoff of All the halos, infinite is something else! More a 1998 game, boring and slow, not much sound effects, of reloading effects like in halo 5. No own color armor options, just a free to play money making store game. And all this with a year delay? F-that, I’m buying PlayStation 5, I only had Xbox due halo as a kid! Tfu halo infinite

I hated halo 4. The multiplayer was the worst in the series.
Halo 5 got me back into Halo because it was a new fresh take on things.
Halo infinite copied too little and removed too much. What I mean by that is. If Halo infinite was going to go “back to the roots” then why is it not classic gameplay? And if it’s not “back to the roots” all the way then why remove what made Halo 5 fun?
I also don’t see how Halo infinite is any more Halo than other halos. It has a lot of changes down from no collision to new equipment. If anything I would say halo infinite is the least Halo out of all the halos

Lol nobody’s wanting Halo 4 and 5. You see a handful of 343i stans on here and suddenly all the classic fans are hypocrites somehow? No.
What the vast majority of players are wanting is simple; the game to actually be finished, have content and no issues.

I think a completed game holds the hearts of many no matter what the game is.
The game could’ve released in any way but a complete game is what I think would’ve won people over

I don’t think anyone wants Infinite to be like 4 or 5, there are a lot of comparison between them because at least with halo 4 and 5 we were seeing a progression and solutions and refining of the gameplay. There were a lot of bad and good things in 4 and 5. If you take all the negative posts on the forum regardless of topic, its because after such a long wait and so much learning and feedback from Halo 4 and 5, the community expected and deserved a Halo we have all been waiting for. Sadly Infinite fails on so many levels, its sad and frustrating and many are like wtf why!

No one wants it to be like Halo 4. But me and plenty other definitely want it to be like Halo 5 because they got a lot right in that game. HOWEVER for the masses I was expecting a classic Halo with forge on launch. After all this time I thought that was the goal of its “going back to the roots” as they say

I see loads of posts saying stuff like, “343 doesn’t even read these forums, they don’t care about your opinion, game is doomed, Halo has been ruined, this game is a 1/10, etc etc.”
Makes sens to me that people who really aren’t happy just move on.
PS5 is great by the way. For difficult explorative games Demon’s Souls and Returnal were both great. Village plays great on it too, love the Dualsense controller.
“The same people” Citation needed.
That said, I have no idea why people treat Infinite like some sort of return to form just because it didn’t keep every ability from Halo 5. Outside of art style changes, its still 343 Halo through and through.
Change a bit of art and I guess you can get away with being in even worse shape in many respects than Halo 5 was at launch.

oh dear, why should anyone just move on?. Why shouldn’t fans and players of the franchise for many years want a better Halo. If everyone just moved on from every game they are not happy with then where would be. Halo has been going for 20 years and without the fan base and feedback it wouldn’t have lasted so long People are passionate and frustrated, telling them to move on is not a solution
I don’t think everyone should move on, just the way some of the posts are constructed makes me think some of these players will never like the product. I’m not referring to the people that give constructive feedback, hoping to continually enjoy the game. Some players seem to have spiralled far beyond that point. Forums are often swarmed with negativity, lot of posts missing the constructive bit.
I’ve moved on from plenty of game series that I’ve outgrown or that have changed beyond my preferences. It’s a totally normal thing to do. If Halo becomes something I don’t enjoy then I’ll stop playing it.

Right? Like how is removed ablities all of a sudden " a return to form"?
A fresh coat of paint isn’t fooling anyone. It’s still a 343 halo like you say
I think people are frustrated and this comes out in many ways, some people form better opinions and feedback than others, that is true.

A lot of the H5 abilities were widely disliked by a large portion of fans. There was a lot of vocality prior to Infinite’s release about people specifically not wanting ground pound or Spartan charge to return.
That’s very telling. Mmmmm what playlist has the spartan charge and ground pound removed?
Oh that’s right. Halo 5 HCS settings. If the other ablities we’re hated so much why wasn’t the thrust and stabilize removed? Oh that’s right. Because people actually liked it.
Halo 5 HCS settings should’ve been the future of Halo.
The spartan charge and ground pound should’ve been turned into movement ablities like the stabilize.
But either way. It makes sense that people didn’t want the ground pound and spartan charge because that’s exactly what HCS settings was.
Sfor a very long time the consensus has been this.
Halo 4 story good. Multiplayer bad.
Halo 5 story bad. Multiplayer good.
When Halo infinite came out all of a sudden people forgot about that consensus. When Halo 5 was in it’s prime. The multiplayer is what everyone was praising. It’s the spartan charge and campagin that got complained about more than the rest of the game.
And as for the thruster pack. The center piece of Halo 5. This one ablity was never talked down upon. The only people who didn’t like it were the people who couldn’t handle it. Some people just didn’t like it when they got out played. And funny enough the stablize was never an issue because you were able to turn it off.
So no. The “majority” definitely did not condem all of Halo 5s ablities as you say. In fact a lot of people I know thought the thruster pack was going to stay because it’s one of the most fun things a game could have

Umm, no, because the only true Halo that was created was by the original Bungie.
Infinite is a cheap knock off, trying to be a wannabe CoD/Fortnite. As far as the players saying “infinite is too much like Halo”. WTH are you even talking about because not once have I seen anyone make such a lame comment?

I’m not disputing h5 multiplayer isn’t good, I really like it. But, I also don’t think the movement mechanics aren’t essential to be carried over to the nezt game.
I imagine thrust is gone as default due to some fans also not liking it and the fact it resulted in extremely heavy aim assist. Trying to balance that against PC mouse and keyboard would have been nightmarish.
Wait. Are you saying the aim assist isn’t strong in halo infinite?
People made the claim that aim assist was stronger because of the thruster but I don’t think that’s true because in halo infinite it’s just as strong if not stronger. It’s extremely easy to aim on a controller. Idk how it is on console but of controller aim assist is definitely strong.
I guess Sprint was important enough to say even though thousands have asked for a no Sprint Halo for years. So I don’t think mechanics being important or not is a big deal here.
Actually, it should be quite the opposite.
Do you go to a restaurant order a steak, but it wasn’t cooked how you wanted it so you keep your mouth shut and just eat it?
Because if that is the case, you need to man up and speak out for what you’re paying for. I sure the hell am not going to stay silent know what 343 falsely advertised for last 6 years. Staying silent or telling people to leave is the dumbest thing people use on this form as a cop-out for a company’s deliberate poor actions.
The restruant (343) came out with 3 meals.
The appetizer (halo 4)
The main meal (halo 5)
The desert (halo infinite)
343 came out and said that we would have chocolate cake for dessert ( the reclaimer saga)
Then 343 comes out with ice cream.
Where’s my chocolate cake?
