also grenades are objectively weaker than past halos.
Lol im plat vi and ur saying idk how to aim. Spill ur rank. Second when ur weak the amount of time given to walk out of its AoE is second to none. Im not an idiot, dont lecture me like one 
no its the same. Frags still take out ur shields. Spike grenades have the widest area ive seen in any halo and the dynamo. Dont even get me started.
The BattlePass system is already driving people away. Iām enjoying the gameplay, but itās really inconvenient and not fun when I have 5 team mates fighting over the sword or the bulldog for a challenge for xp.
I just alt tab out after a bit and go play Titanfall 2 where everyone is actively engaged in the game.

I placed diamond in both the open list and the controller only list, and my experience was identical in both. I just donāt see any evidence that supports one control method being imbalanced over the other.
I think the default controls are awful, and I think people are upset when they play against people better than them and get their - blam - kicked in.

1-9: all subjective
Donāt see why you brought that up for the first point lol
fair fair not saying that ur experience is invalid. I was placed in plat v but currently in plat vi and omw to diamond. Im just saying that personally i felt that cqc were more manageable on controller. However, mnk does excel at mid to longer ranges. Definitely not upset as i do pretty well when solo queuing. Just a minor issue.
I feel the same way. So many problems right now. 343 had so much time and yet still didnāt fix these before launch. Iām disappointed so far and have already stopped playing. Iāll come back if they fix these problems, including the useless radar range.

The game is very good. Itās such a shame that the monetization is handled poorly.
I agree with the most points, especially with this:
I hope 343i will balance/fix some of that issues. I really like Infinite, and with better aiming on Controller (a lot of people complained about it, it sometimes feels inconsistent and a little bit buggy) a bit lower strafe speed and a better BP system it will be a really good game.
Completely agree my friend, havenāt had that WOW factor nor had a game that Iāve come away with a smile on my faceā¦
Gunplay is horrible and where did the aim assist go?
Also, whereās the regional server selection? As you and I play from Australia, servers have always been an issueā¦
Anyway, Iām hoping to see if things get better come December 8, well December 9 in OZ.

Despite everything, I was still kind of excited to play Infinite, I already knew they hadnāt acted on most of my feedback from the flights, and they just straight up said they werenāt going to change their minds about a lot of things that I really didnāt like, but I still gave the game a chance and Iām let down.
I agree with most of what you say in your post and right now I donāt really have much desire to load the game, Iād rather play MCC.

I donāt think Halo Infinite is a hard pass (yet). I genuinely think this is the best one 343 has made. Not the best one ever, but the best one they have made. I appreciate the art style, I appreciate the setting of Zeta Halo, I appreciate that a lot of the nonsense abilities from 5 are gone.
However, that being said I do have a laundry list of complaints that Iām hoping will be remedied.
- No Player Collision (I know youāve all experienced going through enemies and getting totally disoriented)
- No Friendly Fire (encourages bad habits, spam and anti-skillful playing)
- Heavy vehicles (the whole point of BTB) never spawning, or if they do itās with seconds left
- Terrible, irredeemably bad menus with too many layers on every facet of the game and horizontal scrolling (are you kidding me)
- Radically bad HUD for no reason, not even an option to use the classic HUD layout and bullet counter (plus grenades not being shown side by side? Really?)
- Player outlines are really dumb and they detract from the good looking armor which is the whole reason you removed the Red vs Blue team colors to begin with. Just remove them from the game and give us names/service tags above our team mates.
- No map interactions (think opening gates on High Ground or Zanzibar, lowering bridges, teleporters, conveyor belts, etc)
- BTB maps are very bad for ground vehicles, no wide open space for them to do their thing. Feels like youāre stuck on an F1 racetrack.
- Tiny number of emblems and canāt even customize them like you used to (Whereās my damn Valkyrie emblem 343)
- Motion tracker range is too damn small, and your solution was to extend it by a measly 4 meters in BTB only? So now we canāt build up a sense of spacial awareness when we see a dot on the radar because itās a different distance based on the playlist?
- No overall military rank and no way to earn XP for it outside of challenges even if it was in the game
- Only general playlists of āquick play, BTB, or Rankedā? Are you serious?
- No blood, what is this a childrenās series now?
- Competitive Ranks are back to the medal tiers of Iron, Bronze, Silver, etc instead of the 1-50 system that was in Halo 2, 3, 4(just on the website) and MCC. Why? And one would hope that whichever system you use, the rank should be per-playlist rather than being in the same tier regardless of Lone Wolves, Doubles, TS, etc.

Lol thats total bs I can tell you as a āhorrible playerā Iām not even remotely ācompetitiveā I am significantly SIGNIFICANTLY worse at infinite than literally every other halo game

I feel that. Iām a huge halo fan but this is just not good. Overall the gameplay feels great. I feel like after a few patches in a few months itāll be in a great state. It only makes me scared to see how good the campaign actually is/plays. I bet they wanted to delay the game again, but Microsoft would not allow that.

Great opinion. Iām a huge halo fan, but this is just not there. I bet in a few months maybe after patches itāll be better, but they are going to lose a lot of the casual fanbase by then. Even if it is free to play.
MCC is great with its leveling system and free battlepass. I just want something new to do.

Thatās probably because the vast amount of people love everything about the game (except the progression system). Obviously they arenāt going to completely change the game to impress the tiny amount of people who currently donāt like it, that would be a terrible business decision and would kill the game faster than anything.
1-50 is terrible imo, itās probably the reason why MCC ranked is so dead.
Play ranked for friendly fire.
No, but have fun in BF2042, GTA Trilogy, and other trash games released lately if you donāt like it
