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

If possible, please consider enabling cross-core armor customization for players(The Bots are already using it) once the patches and fixes for matchmaking roll out. Welcome back from break 343!

Please also add proper audio option for surround speakers, now rear and back channels are muted for those using surround channel set up.

Eyyyyy! Let’s gooooo!! Thank you 343 for this information. Can we possibly get a good roadmap?

For a community manager you don’t really seem to respond to the community.

Just selectively picking and choosing small issues while ignoring the bigger issues at large.

Customs are unplayable and no one cares cause forge isn’t out yet…

Very small subset of the playerbase actually wants to play custom games on the current maps versus simply matchmaking.

Custom game parameters aren’t custom enough if we cannot do simple map edits.

We need an option to turn off cross play from previous console generations.

I didn’t buy a series console to be bottlenecked by the last gen.

Shouldn’t be a single brag about loading times out of Phil Spencer / Bonnie Ross if they’re forcing everyone to play with base Xbox One loading times.

isn’t there a option already? thats how I got my plat rank

blame the scalpers fro that they snatch them up and the rectock takes forever

I cannot even get into a players vs bot match sometimes so the problem is far larger in scope then just BTB.

There is a joining error that pops up sometimes and will not go away until closing the game, again, this is not limited to BTB.

What about the terrible performance and lack of optimization? In campaign the game can corrupt your save files, no mention of that, thats a huge issue.

Desync is a massive issue, how many times must we try to melee an enemy only to walk through them and be instantly assassinated? What happened to player collision?

What about how many 4vs4 modes (again, outside of BTB) forcing matches of 3 vs 4 or even 4 vs 5 or 6? We’re gonna have to wait over a month and that might not even be addressed? You’re killing the player base, you get that right?

I don’t know how they can plan for ten years when they can’t even plan for 3 months.

Nope, that’s for Solo/Duo mode only.

I can’t help but feel disappointed by these updates. Many of the issues with this game I swallowed on launch based on the promise that it would be a “live service” game. Here we are a month after release and there is still hardly as much armor in Infinite as in Reach, and we’re being told fixes to major issues like cheating are at least a month out… I can’t imagine what that means for season 2, or more importantly, campaign content.

I need the crashing fixed man, on my next Gen xbox series x it’s as if every other game I try and play it crashed, then I switch to a different video game and no issue so it’s not my console, please fix this, please, I’ve been dealing with this since the flights began, it’s making the experience so much worse

So there will be a roadmap. No ETA. It will take some time ™.

So they are working on it. ETA? Not this week.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct. It wasn’t for me.

So a try to fix cheating in February, with some “other things” adressed. Hoo-wee.

So my take away is: The only thing that might get fixed in the next weeks is BTB. Perhaps.
343 launched a live service game without having a roadmap or without wanting to share it, due to reasons™.
Store updates are working on point, where content? :orangutan:

I am losing confidence in 343 and the Halo franchise, I didn’t even know I still had, by the day now.

See you guys on the battlefield in March, gotta keep myself and others entertained here then. :wink:

Thank you for the wonderful game. For the first time in a long time I’m able to get all my friends on Halo. I’ve been here since Halo 2, and was an active participant in Bungie.net and Halo 3 File Share. Many of us appreciate and understand your teams’ priorities though we are not as vocal. Theater mode and Custom Games need a lot of work, but there is no doubt that these things should be in the backburner. Any semblance of a File Share community is also probably not in the works, and I can understand. As a Halo fan however, I miss these things.
Keep up the good work though. Don’t put mind to the toxicity. Halo Infinite is the most fun I’ve had with a video game in a while and it definitely deserves its place on the top. (it has the potential)

I understand your pain, but from a technical view online multiplayer takes more of a priority. These are hours of work, programming, and research. Unfortunately it can’t be solved with a snap of a finger and then they can work on all that juicy content we want.

They made an extremely fun game, that you’re bothering enough to post on their forums? If it was truly a trash game we wouldn’t even bother being here. But you, just like me, see potential in this game and want crucial problems to be fixed so that it can be perfect. That’s why its so upsetting.
We can either be supportive, help, or apply for a job (if you have the right skills). To get Halo Infinite where we want it to be. Criticizing the developers leads to demoralization of the 343 team, which is the opposite of what we want. Wouldn’t it be better if they were pumped up for putting these problems behind them?

I think 343 will need to step up, and speed up the updates. Updates in game and updates on whats coming. Especially on here. Making players wait 3 weeks here, 1 month there and 3 months here is a great way to lose interest. Letting the players KNOW WHY they are waiting and what EXACTLY they are waiting for would be a better deal than “you will all have to wait 2 months for some new modes” okay what are the modes? Where is that new robust Slayer you guys were talking about, the same Slayer that made you delay NORMAL SLAYER for more than 4 weeks? To me, 343 is reacting way to slow for today’s gaming culture and needs to step this up. Reacting within 3 days is more understandable rather than having us pile question after question after request after bug report after question ALLLLLLL to be made to be answered 1 month away and in one large blog post. STAY ACTIVE WITH YOUR COMMUNITY! Im a long time halo fan but it’s not only not fun, but it makes me want to not even bother keeping up with Halo because for a month straight is the same news, same disappoint felt, update after update after update. And yes, only 3 updates because we have only received 3 verbiage updates from them since launch… that’s not good. Gamers want to learn what’s happening with their game behind the scenes nearly DAILY so PROVIDE US WEEKLY UPDATES AT LEAST. RESPOND TO PEOPLE ON HERE SO WE CAN STOP SHOUTING INTO THE VOID. Yall are a whole company, you can handle a message board. The fact this game claims to be a live service but launched with nothing a live service game has outside of a shop, means it is in fact NOT CURRENTLY A LIVE SERVICE GAME, stop lying to the playerbase and give us something to be hopeful for. Give us ANYTHING we have requested, we all just want to enjoy this game. Lastly, you all need to figure out a clear way to explain WHY these issues keep happening with btb and apperantly “new” Slayer. You guys briefly said something about the UI is hard to deal with. That means nothing to me, to me, Slayer is the easiest multiplayer game mode to create in video game history what is the actual issue? Why do we have no content, where is half the game? Why is forge delayed? Why Why Why Why Why Why Why? Start answering us we made you guys and the franchise you took over behave better please.

This isn’t kindergarten. It’s the real world where people are trying to sell you a product. If aspects of that product are terrible, criticism is absolutely appropriate.

I don’t understand why so many people on here seem to feel the need to mollycoddle a multi-million dollar megacorp that is interested primarily in fleecing our wallets and that can’t even accomplish things like feature parity with a 17 year old game in its own franchise.

Glad to have you back.

Gameplay is fantastic.

The game is seriously lacking in progression. The game needs a proper level up xp progression system alongside the battlepass. Like the one in halo 3.

Cosmetics needs to be better and also a realistic price.

Can we PLEASE be able to see all our Career MP stats and medals in the profile section.

Better weekly rewards.

More maps soon?
