Halo Infinite Update - BTB and More (UPDATED JAN 19)

I believe this is currently the number one issue plaguing the game. Sure, you can whine about cosmetics or progression, but ultimately playability comes first and, at the moment, a great game is being severely impaired by desync issues.

The second to last paragraph literally explains why they aren’t doing that. While you may have a valid argument that the game should have launched with an anti-cheat, that’s beside the point. Just my opinion, I rarely run into cheaters in my matches, perhaps that’s just luck. But there are many people that enjoy Halo for the big team experience. From my perspective, occasionally playing against a cheater vs. not being able to play the game at all tip the scale slightly in the btb direction. Again, just my experience and opinion.

Cheaters suck and unfortunately even with anti-cheat, they find workarounds and we’ll constantly be waiting for the next patch to fix it. I agree with you that it needs to be a priority but I argue that it will always need to be a priority and they should consider having a dedicated team focused on that long-term while working with other teams tackling game issues.

@ske7ch Please I beg you to put in a feature that will allow use to reconnect back to our rank match. Halo uses so much of my CPU when I load/playing in the match that it will shut down for some unknown reason. Usually when I have it open for to long. I get no error, lose rank, and get banned. I want to play and get back in. :crying_cat_face:

Yeah I want this to be a focus in the upcoming roadmap, too. Even with a decent system, no overheating/lag/etc, my game occasionally just freezes up an crashes. Super frustrating!

People like you will continue to not buy anything even if they cut prices in half

You’ve played like 10 total matches in the past month

How bout more customization and maybe a reason to play pvp to get stuff not behind a huge pay wall i mean damn look at alll the stuff you had in halo 5 sooo much content were the hell did that all go??!?!?!?!?! pvp has no point in playing once you unlock the game pass completely which has pretty much crap content im so disappointed with huge lack of content and unlockables and pissed that u make us pay for the good stuff which is not really different week from week i mean $10 for a fuking skin for a gun and its impossible to do the events and unlock that armor cause you limit so much by using stupid -Yoink!- challenges to progress in you events is really sad you guys have become so damn greedy. halo infinite more like halo limited. pathetic.

Is there any chance that an option to bind Push to Talk on Controller will be available in February? I find it hard to play the game and chat with my team while playing on a controller. I do not want to leave my mic open as I could have other things playing in the background.

Hi, long time Halo fan here. I’m very happy to see a formal response addressing BtB issues and cheating. Any word on the desync or whatever that problem is? It’s brutal for me. I’ll have the network monitor on and it won’t track any lag at the time of occurence. Seems to happen more in solo queues than with certain friends for some reason if that might help. It almost feels like I’m connected to a local server that is connected to another server or something somewhere else, but I only see the local server ping. I can only hazard guesses. Melees won’t count, shots don’t register despite shield flares, auto-aim won’t work right, my character will stutter or have two to three character models over top of each other for a moment, haven’t seen the double reload for a while but it was a thing, and I’ll be shot while behind a pillar for cover but will die and my dead character will move as if I was just crouching in the open. It’s in no way a definitive list, but the game just feels off and laggy most of the time despite the network monitor assuring me otherwise.

I also wanted to mention that feeling like we’re being heard will go a long way to quelling the high tensions we have in the community. This is a wonderful start, but we may not be so mad about things if we had knowledge the team realizes it’s an issue and is working on it. Felt like a month of radio silence, but maybe that was due to the holidays and all. Perhaps the future looks a bit brighter as far as more steady communication?

Oh, and I’d just like to confirm that y’all know about what we call desync? It’s not really mentioned in the known issues list on the support page beyond standing on top of broken vehicles. Neither is BtB though.

Anyway, thank you for the update. I hope to hear some more from y’all soon. We’re a deeply passionate community who wants this game to succeed. Some are not as adept as others when it comes to communicating in a constructive manner. I hope we aren’t all tuned out in the process. Good luck with everything and keep up the great work.

GOOD NEWS!! I just hope they fix the Custom Game Area as soon as possible.

Here is a link I posted on these forums to get the Custom Games Area as soon a possible.
This is the only way I can get it to work!

Since we are talking about and giving feedback, I want to share my experience to display the biggest issue I have with Halo Infinite. I was playing a match of oddball, the score was 98 to 90 in my team’s favor, the enemy team was just spawning and we were 2 down. I see the ball in front of me and a pulse carabine next to it, I went for the pulse carabine, my teammate died and we lost the game. I could have won the game right then and there, but I don’t regret it one bit, because I was stuck with a pulse carabine battle pass challenge for like 10 matches. If I had won the game I would have gotten 50XP toward the battle pass, by losing it I got the same 50XP plus 200 more XP for completing the pulse carabine challenge. Almost every single match plays like that for me, I don’t care one bit of winning, I just start the match and then I walk around a bit, without shooting anybody unless it’s for a challenge, I get the same amount of XP. In Halo Infinite I get rewarded if I don’t care about the match and play exclusively for the battle pass challenges. In the end the battle pass is what I paid for, that’s the only thing I should care about. Imo getting rewarded for losing (not winning) is fundamentally wrong in a videogame.

I mean, at least a couple of things are going to be addressed soon.

Still won’t be enough to keep me playing consistently, though.

If people just did a little research beforehand, then no duplicates would need to be made. Must be hard to just do 3 clicks to get to info that is already laid out. Why make a duplicate spot for it?

Pretty BS y’all address these topics but, COMPLETELY avoid the topic of microtransactions and pricing. Y’all circumvented the entire armor progression system of previous titles into a $20 commitment in the store or a battle pass grind that is so ridiculously absurd it should be criminal in the modern gaming world. I can beat my destiny season pass in 3 days if I want and halo I’ve been at for 2 months now and I’m not done yet. Y’all know that your store is the hottest topic of debate in the community and it’s time to address it or your game isn’t going to make it long enough to be a 10 year live service. Get a grip 343 and stop giving us blankets statements when you know the real community issues. BTB is minor compared to your greediness over a title that launched half finished.

I literally answered you already and there were TWO points

What do you mean by this?

I hate to tell ya sketchy boi, the BTB issue is just as common, if not MORE common, when trying to que solo

Hi, I’m playing HaloInfinite on XSS.
At the time of technical testing, it was possible to experience the game at 120fps, but now that spec has been removed.
When do you plan to bring back the performance feature?
We believe that we will be able to improve the frame rate using FSR and other techniques.
As a Halo fan, please give a chance to those who are trying to enjoy Halo with XSS.
Getting this feature should be a top priority, we can’t afford to betray the people who bought XSS to play Halo.

The coating wasnt what was shown in the december 2020 post, many of us have expressed our concern to this matter, an issue that for what Ive heard would be easy to fix.
Instead we’ve been ignored and the shop has shown that 343 was aware of this, which has made a good amount of my 152 group just feel as if we had been pushed to the side to most likely sell that later on.
As I said, it was a good ride, maybe in a year when season 2 comes around my group will check it out and see if theres more to do.
