Halo data consumption too late for a fix

Yall fixed the data usage from the game over a phto that was being uploaded 2000 times per match. I played less matches thispazt month then i did the last two pior months and im at 909 GB wich is about 730gb more of my average consumption and over 400 GB which has my bill over $350 on a data plan of 500gb for $70…
This hurts in these hard times … and com’on… thanks for the late fix… and the overpriced bill

My wife pointed out a guy that is complaining about a $2k bill and the only game his wife plays is Halo infinite… i thought it was nothing till i viewed prior 3 months and i just caught wind of this. I definitely would have throttled back on the gameplay. Little upset here

To player base because … i could have bought two new games at these data rate consumption… i fell bad about the guy who has the $2k bill.

Yeah this is the time to say bye bye to Infinite. Its mind boggling that 343 has glitches that legitimately damage or constrict PC’s and the fact that they’ve been in the game since launch. Its as if none of their developers ever knew how to program the game to work on PC. Just shameful. Its crazy how a much bigger and more ambitious game like Forza could launch with photo realistic graphics, amazing performance, and only minor cheating bugs and launch a massive expansion and still continue to function properly.

WOW! Sounds like your phone? Get a XBOX or PC get free unlimited data for less that $60 bux a month most internet companies. It has been years since I heard of people paying that much for data unless they are on a phone or some types of Satellite Provider.

Sorry to hear about the issue bud :frowning:

Peace! :fist_right: :fist_left:

Nope. I occasionally do 3-5 games via cloud but for most part im just sitting on my xbox one x wondering why 60fps 4k is taking up to a gig in data. I run fiber optics straight wired on a cat6 ethernet wire. Thats fast.
I’ve done alot back in December on my cell Verizon plan spamming the BTB when it had issues and per game was 312-355mb … IF the match even loaded otherwise it pulled hardly anything and i never would cap not even go over 30 Gb and plan was 75gb and i was streaming it not cloud playing.
You can play infinite two ways outside console.

  1. xbox app via streaming
  2. game pass app via cloud

I have an S21 and it runs fast over cloud and the graphics are comparable and then some to an LG 4k running 60 fps.
If i run on the xbox app its glitchy on graphics but thats technically the beta cloud on via streaming on xbox app.
You notice more lag a d latency via streaming and i PREFER To stream IF i have to as i dont have to disconnect and reboot the game and i can talk through headset. Its more convenient to stream from a middle of an online match then it is to cloud it as if you clouded while already running via xbox or streaming then the cloud overules on its boot up and kicks you out of match leaving the option to give you a 10 min soft ban from dropping the match via transitioning from box/stream via cloud from online matchmaking.
I am very well aware of data consumption over cloud consumes more but not as much as 700 plus more than the average

I sometimes truly tell myself that this game has been under attack via all the halo haters via through undercover dev sabotage… its been problem after another …
The lack of maps is because of a war and this makes sense in that perspective.
Also as i see more forge play im starting to realize that this engine was specifically designed for the best of the best of forge. It shows anf i believe all the development resources should push in 3 areas hard.

  1. Desync 1st ( this will affect forge especially soo on all vehicles more than anything [ im rank 65 in driver assist and i ping from 3 to 50 on btb and getting yanked out of driver seat is why im also ranked soo high in suicide because i have to physically fix the desync hijack tether other wise i move in blocky movements its wild] this will make forge very very un fun if this is gonna be around still )
    2)forge content just needs to drop soo they can mash all the issues out over the 1st year and i believe it should be realesed before this kids go back to school as that has always beeen the biggest influx of players is over summer break and during the holidays Thanksgiving and xmas newyears. They need creativity now and not later as most the kids end up leaving halo-infinite due to the fact that this game is geared more towards those whom dont like playing with the youth under the age of 16. This kids get into matchmaking and have yet to have the experience with the franchise like the older crowd that they get shoved out of ANY SOCIAL LOOKING FOR GROUP AND EVEN THEIR OWN SOO MUCH TO WHERE IT AFFECTS THOSE SMART ENOUGH TO TRY INSIDER FOR CO-OP CAMPAIGNS.
    Use to be able to do that day one on the rest of the halos forge and co-op split screen at that. Your hurting yourselves soo bad on this alone and the only thing too redeem the new and younger crowd is too feed them creativity because THAT’S REALISTICALLY ALL they have going for them. Trust you doo this… and my kids will be begging me to buy stuff for them on halo infinite more than will for a Goat simulator game thats been around for only 10 years… feed these kids creativity… theres too many other games outside of halo for them to play to want to play halo.
    3)catering to 1 and 2 will most definitely keep this strong up till season 4-5 and would give the map creative team to deal with real life issues and would give them time because they need alot of it and i hope the best but this is litteraly gonna help take care of the monitization and the lack of maps right now and also making the players happy which would encourage more positive feedback to 343 which is needed because everything ive seen pourn into forge shows that 343 loves and cares for the game. They dont hire unintelligible people. Everyone comes from some sort of background into really expensive programs to get them where they are and they definitely have alot of passion for the game and it makes me truly proud that its cabable but males me incredibly said that im going through it with them and it makes me think that someone hates their life or loves it knowing they may not be doing their best for the game and the rest are busting -Yoink!- just for a bug to go unnoticed every time a drop pod or an big update drops. I as the rest hope for the best and want the best for this as its still here and theres still haters that just offer nothing but negativity. I do just hope 1 and 2 get focused on because ive even done the insider hub reports and metioned things and ive had just the desync hijack tehtering go unfixed but they literally have fixed everything else ive conplained about. Soo i know they are listening and i pray this gets handled and the data issue is to never return because if that bug is to exists with forge… i could only imagine how astronomical the data pull would be on a max budget forge map if a bug was to exist…

I am getting close to getting my Recon helmet, and even though it looks like this has been fixed I think I’m giving up for a bit. If I got hit with any extra fees like you did I’d be screwed financially. This is reaching levels of incompetence that is hurting people in other aspects of their lives.

Its a shame they swept this issue under the rug without reimbursing anyone. Luckily, some of yall monitor yalls data. Alot of people are gonna be confused when they see their monthly bill.
