I sure am happy that I can’t play with my non-competitve play group in ranked now. I understand the argument for tightening the fireteam spreads, however this just sucks for those of us with friends who have lower ranks. We intentionally party up so those of us higher ranked can coach and help the lower ranked members. Now we’d have to play social playlists, which none of us want to do, and try to translate everything between ranked and socials.

Of all the gripes and issues with Infinite, this is what they chose to fix. Not the desync, not the rubberbanding, not the random game closures, none of the stuff that makes the game enjoyable.

Outstanding work 343i. Your goal of making this game less social and driving it as hard as you can into the ground is working.

Change my mind

Ok i went and re-read your guys’ previous “update” from May. Let’s be honest here, the two maps were dev’d already…pre-release, you know? Hate to break it to you guys but Last Spartan Standing is dead effing last in regards to player traffic, liek srsly bruh. Who knows, maybe LSS also got dev’d pre-launch. Let’s get hypothetically speaking here, my theory is all the new game variants that’ve been added during “Season 2” were G2G day 1 as well…

What would be 343’s response to OG halo fans like myself who call out BS regarding the live game service? Big team battle servers were a joke for 2+ months lol. What the F are you guys doing? live service features are trash skins and that’s it. Gen Z Cosmetic Simulator should’ve been the game’s title. CHANGE MY MIND

Did you even read the update?

189

Can you fix VRR watch digital foundries video for details

190

I guess the S2 keyart and loading times for Xbox is something to look forward to

is cross customisation and multiple attachments really that hard to nail? :’))

  • the 25 game cap for new players, niceu
    that was a must must for a while but damnn
191

was hoping this would include duos for ranked….guess not.

192

Why would you increase the wasp durability? Its extremely as it is on high power usually turns into a spawn killing match. Stop making vehicles stronger especially the wasp. Add a seperate BTB heavies but dont ruin BtB with excessive vehicles and make it warzone

Summary

Well…here we go. You guys wanted insight, please take this for what it’s worth. >As a fairly loyal 343 fan since the original Halo, on the original XBOX console, I have seen some amazing & disappointing developments within the franchise, which to be perfectly honest, has left me playing more than a few titles other than a Halo over the years. That being said, I’m still a die-hard Halo fanboy & I would like to see the address of the following 3 MAJOR issues I have noticed that really are the differences between great times for everyone & frustration quitting Halo all together!

#1. -SEASONAL CONTENT-
Right off the bat I was really fairly impressed. The content in season 1 was FUN & made you want to unlock more or buy stuff(altho horribly overpriced) most definitely lacking in variety, (which I know is due to “the way of the micro-transaction”) but I feel it still season 1 left you wanting/expecting great things out of season 2…then season 2 DROPPED (& I believe this word is perfectly suited) because that’s what happened to my hopes upon unlocking the battle pass & checking out the new gear… dashed actually. I mean there was some OK stuff but everything feels like a 2nd place reward instead of something to strive for…not to mention again a serious lack of content& absolutely NO difference in the price of items in the shop!!..great we get “free credits now” but everything’s still super expensive & not bundled correctly-Also where is the option where you can create your own skin & then purchase it at anytime? Seriously, think of the micro transactions to be made on that!!

#2.-CROSSPLAY TOGGLE-
Why is there STILL no feature to completely disable PC&Mobile CROSSPLAY??? Or pick your own servers? Seriously??? WHY? WHY WHY!? It REALLY, genuinely feels like console players, such as myself, who greatly enjoy the game but are almost always FORCED to limit play to Tuesdays-Thursdays(due to the infuriating amount of PC & Moible players/CHEATERS) are being COMPLETELY ABANDONED!!! It’s absolutely RIDICULOUS!! All I see is updates for PC interface that, & Mobile stability improvements this, menu fixes blah blah blah…c’mon guys! This kinda stuff should have been ironed out BEFORE release, not released bit by bit as if we are supposed to be grateful that the REAL problems aren’t being addressed?
A SIMPLE CROSSPLAY TOGGLE would ELIMINATE 95%of cheating & false accusations of cheating PERIOD. You are ALWAYS going to have cheaters… but it’s FAR easier to cheat & have access to cheats on PC & Moible… that’s simple fact. Not to mention headache of managing the differences in frame rates, ping times etc…All I’m suggesting is that we have a feature such as CROSS PLAY TOGGLE to eliminate 95% of the problem. That way, cheaters can duke it out against the other cheaters, & all of those mobile wandering 6inch screen wonders, can do the same!! WEE! That way everyone has a FAIR & FUN experience! The PC creeps can continue to try & one up each other with the latest & greatest aim bot cheats, while the Mobility crowd can get smoother & more consistent gameplay! CROSSPLAY is a fantastic idea… until it’s not, which it is no longer…Again fact.

#3.- COMMUNITY FEEL/GAME MODES-

Why does this game feel more & more like that dirty 3 letter word we all know & hate?That’s right! The once all mighty COD, & they’re terribly toxic & a$$holeish community. It’s truly sad to see a once epic & friendly community turn the way of the COD-Harsh, unfriendly & full of cheaters & people who don’t care AT all about advancing their skill level or just having fun. All they want is easy kills & constant gratification for achieving NOTHING. It’s killing this franchise…& more importantly it’s long standing & loyal community.
-GameModes- super disappointed that 343 geared this ENTIRE season content & all to single player FFA type games/gamers… completely (again) abandoning a certain portion of gamers that truly enjoy the couch co-op or team experience. Wow. What a Slippery slope it’s become… it’s nice to talk about “quality of life updates” but it seems like it’s still a dance around any major issues in lou of minor fixes.

Thanks for you’re time to anyone who’s read this little rant this far. Thanks even more for anyone who’s willing to do anything about cough cough 343 cough cough

194

When will us free players get more colors?

195

when you take the paid battle pass route lol

196

where is our cross core? we couldn’t get a single helmet shoulder or anything with cross core? that’s something I really want, starting to feel like they’re holding it back for nefarious purposes

197

Would love to see the ability to choose whatever gamemode I want in quickplay in the next drop pod!

198

Well, I guess it’s a start. I thought drop pods included actual content, but I guess we could be worse without it.

199

Thank you for the hard work. Hopefully a DLC or a more modes come soon!

200

what about crosscore?

201

Definitely need more BTB modes!

202

Challenges are much improved the last few weeks

203

should just be 1-50 makes shutt easy i love halo but thats how ranked work when it had people wanting to play it

204

Thanks for the update…any news when there will be a narrative update?

205

Those ranked bands are way too wide. And they don’t seem to fix the disparity in matchups sometimes.

I had a game with 3 onyx and D5

Vs

D2, D5, D4, Onyx.

That’s just not fair
