okay, look. more ranked modes would be dope as heck, like ones SPECIFICALLY for swat, doubles, objectives, etc…
but lack of modes in ranked aren’t the only issue. casuals only have standard halo gamemodes, nothing new, nothing memorable to mess around in. no firefight, no invasion, no warzone, no infection, no btb heavies, no vip, no headhunter, flat out king of the hill, 2v2/1v1s etc…
not even forge to casually make a map in and show off to other people, ya know, be social in a different way. not even any ‘dev favorites’ for theater
the game just seems lacking in every way
there is, so far, no reason to play halo infinite over… h5g and mcc

I’m more worried about what BS they are going to pull with the forge world than the time it takes to release it.
As far as the rest of what you said it seem 343 tactics are all they care about, because the quality of this game is vary damn low that it’s ridiculous.

Nah, you’re thinking of the 7-13 year old sweats in Fortnite that can throw together a 16 story building with matching indoor hedge maze.
On the real though, even if the premise of hiring the Fortnite Devs who don’t work in anything other than the Unreal Engine to work on Slipspace wasn’t “out there” enough to be considered bait, it ignores the fact that Fortnite pumps out so much content because the art direction and low poly models makes it ridiculously simple to churn out.

Dude… ita not even the reward system it’s the cross play issue… if they dont fix crossplay by removing forced to play with PC players, this game is going to die very quick… I’ve been posting asking to please add toggle feature to block PC players in rank, over 90% xbox players are getting destroyed by PC because we cant kill em due to several advantages…
This game is going to die very quickly if they do not add that toggle feature even I’m starting to lose patience of dealing with not being able to kill PC players it’s so stupid to force us to play and get wrecked by PC players because we cant kill em with “1sec ahead” advantage is what i like to call it…
19 of my xbox players friends quit/gave up because of ranked getting ruined by PC players… cant stress enough how important it is to add this feature in to keep this gf game alive it really sucks none of my friends want to play it anymore and my hands are getting blistered playing so hard against PC qne trying to carry my team that’s an xbox player when they get destroyed easily…
No I’m talking about the actual designers who can build a game map ,destroy the game map and rebuild a new entire map, while also making multiple creator modes… Like seriously how is 343 having trouble with one Forge mode.
I just think they have some incompetent people, seems like Epic games can at least build worlds and modes at will. Like if they they are gonna build another creator mode world it’s not delayed it’s just made on time.
Seriously 343 has a damn blueprint for the mode and several iterations for it and still can’t get it out the door even with a 1 yr delay…
If anything they probably trying to find a way to monetize it

Omg dude I have been saying they will probably monetize it. That’s why it’s taken so long. You will get half of the stuff in Forge mode and the rest will be purchasable.
20 bucks for a man cannon… All UNSC vehicles are free but Banished are sold separately in 5 bundles

Between lack of Customs, lack of Forge, lack of modes and broken BTB, it’s a wonder we even have players.

It’s a huge part of the reason assassinations haven’t been added either. 343 thinks they are fooling everyone and that simply isn’t the case at all.
They will make money off this game but anyone that is intelligent enough will eventually dropped this game. It’s a lot worse off than their previous titles.

Dude they gave their bots full range of cross core customization and locked us out of it. They have it in the programing
They purposely locked us out of it to keep us buying individual stuff at 20 bucks in their lame repeated item bundles…
Like the iron man armor Coatings says there items when you look at each coating but it’s all the same coating just locked to a core for sales and fluff

Its no surprise to be honest.
The servers are terrible.
The matchmaking is wonky as excrement.
Its severely lacking content.
No anti cheat and the most convoluted way of reporting its just not worth the effort.
They spent all the time making a store then tacked a half finished barebones game on at the end.
Cortana: Bet you cant sell it.
Some exec in MC voice: You’re on!
What a way for the franchise to go out.

All I want is more Battle Rifle start playlists, spawning with an Assault Rifle in everything except Ranked Arena and Team SWAT is an absolute joke and a slap in the face honestly. Having BTB be 12v12 and on maps that are 2x-3x bigger than the 4v4 maps and still having BTB be Assault Rifles and Pistols is just idiotic, this isn’t Halo: CE where the Magnum is the best primary weapon in the game and has nearly infinite range. BTB needs to be Battle Rifle starts not bullet hoses and pea shooters. We need a BRs FFA and BRs Team Slayer playlist too.

To be fair all games will have their intial decrease after launch… some people will try it and get bored ,others just won’t like it, some just rage… you know… the basics…
I know, people will try it to see what the hype is at launch then dip, especially with a free game. But I think it would have a lot more players than it currently does if they treated the game right and not like a store with a game tacked on with major server issues.

ranked NEEDS both BR and AR starts, ASAP. also, the omission of ranked slayer if flat out inexcusable. and i cant believe the lack of maps after they pushed the release back a year. what were they working on? they need to add 4-6 new 4v4 maps as soon as possible, maybe with a classic remastered.
and where is my lifetime stats page!?

Not to mention what you get in to Onyx is just riddled with cheaters I just got done submitting 15 tickets and I have other tickets still open from four weeks ago. It’s a pain collecting clip after clip after clip. 343 still has not done anything cross play needs to be turned off.

You nailed it.
People are realizing that Halo 5 WAS the pinnacle of the series. It’s multiplayer was absolutely fantastic and far superior to what Infinite has to offer.
Warzone was fantastic and I played the hell out of that mode.
The movement and the controls were way better in absolutely every way.
Everything else you said is spot on. As for me I’ve gone back to MCC and sadly that’s the only Halo I’ll be playing since Halo 5 is not on PC.

yeah that defintly did not help…
Challenges are dull and the way you collect customisation in campaign is so basic. If they were going down the open world route. They needed to make it fun. However it seems it’s open world but still linear. They need better quest lines to follow to get better skins/colours…. Armour? Weapons?
I don’t think they really thought about this open world malarkey.
Plus the grapple hook kind of ruins the experience in the open world as it makes it too easy to get around. (Which is probably a good thing, considering there isn’t much to do)
The main story is the only reason to be in the open world - should have stuck to that linear level route.
Unless they have a cunning plan? Do they have a plan?

You have to think - the halo fan base isn’t on Steam. I’m surprised anybody is still playing on that platform.
It would be interesting to see Live account numbers that would give you a true figure. I bet you they reached a million players plus on day one.
Steam is a huge PC platform, before others came around there werne’t many competitors to it… but releasing the game on steam, allowed for a lot more players
