Honestly, I do not understand the complete disregard to current multiplayer issues

Games Halo Infinite

Dear 343,

How? You had what 6 years almost to make this game? So you launch it early, awesome thanks. But with the lowest map count in halo history. But not even taking that into consideration the amount of issues with the core game mechanics and overall multiplayer experience while online is complete BS.

Melee system - STILL not addressed. The game has been out 7 months. How has this not been fixed? I either get a blank melee or I get no lunge/melee at all even though I’m at the same exact distance from which my enemy lunged at me.

BR Jamming - This one is most infuriating for me. I took a little break after this issue came to light because I was headcasing over the sheer amount of times it happened to me every game. I kid you not, literally most games 5 out of every 10 BR fights I get a BR jam. So I come back hoping that 3 weeks is enough time to give you to fix this. Keep in mind, this wasn’t broken UNTIL you did the most recent update. I get online today, I go to challenge and on the SECOND, I repeat the SECOND shot, my BR jams. Okay cool, so I recover in the BR fight, but then somehow my BR jams AGAIN? Are you kidding me? I can’t tell you how often my BR jams on the 3rd or 4th shot and costs me the gunfight because it seems to NEVER happen to the enemy I’m shooting at.

Hit Registration - Worst hit reg I’ve ever experienced in a Halo game, and one of the worst in any triple A title FPS I’ve played. And I thought Halo 3 bloodshots were bad back in the day. I’m sorry, but even Halo 3’s netcode was better then this and that game came out in 2007. I repeat, your game has worse hit registration then a game that was released 15 years ago. How is that possible.

Servers - Absolutely terrible. Servers that say 20 ping feel like 100. Servers that say 100 ping, well, might as well not even try. Constant D/C’s still for numerous players, thank god I don’t have that issue as much anymore.

Ban System - Flawed. Revamp it ASAP. Teammates quitting out every other game. But if I crash, I get banned? Makes sense.

Gametypes - Asscheeks. Infinite KOTH < Halo 3 KOTH. Strongholds = Snowball effect. Only gametype you did right was slayer and flag. Oddball is okay, not great, but tolerable.

Maps - Trash. You know how old it is to play the same freaking maps for 7 months, and we do get a “major” update we get ONE 4v4 map. Idiots.

Desync - HOLY CRAP. This has NEVER been an issue in ANY of the old Halo games. But this game, dear lord, unplayable 50% of the time if not more. I say that because most of the type I stick through it and deal with the BS until I get so tilted I say fk it and go to a different game. Constantly shot behind walls. This has been an issue since launch and it progressively gets worse. How have you not dealt with this?

343, you’re losing your population. You fk up with Halo 4 and killed most of the population. Did okay with Halo 5 and brought a decent amount back. Did you get complacent? Because all the progress you made in Halo 5 you’ve successfully killed.

I do not know what you guys are getting paid to do. You’re programmers, game developers, triple A at that. But you’re underperforming against the majority of the FPS industry. Indie companies have better multiplayer experiences than this; i.e. Splitgate.

If you wanted the game to die off so you could move onto something new you should of just not created a new title and called it quits. Because the route you’re going in is like General Custard’s last stand.

I’m not sure 6 years later is “early”… But definitely unfinished.

I’m pretty sure all of these things are Desync related. Very bad.

Content is severely lacking.

I think many people just prefer ice cream.

Or a game that actually works, with all the content of the previous games in the series.

This was fixed in the patch released this morning.

Honestly, I don’t understand why people still keep playing this game.

Don’t forget MCCs launch back in 2014 of how unplayable the multiplayer was, stuck in queue for 5-6 hrs just hoping to get in 1 match a day or a week. MCC had no supprt from 343 for 4 years bc of Halo 5. In late 2018 MCC finally got the support it needed because 343 was adding Reach with crossplay.

Its sad to know that MCC only got support 4 years later after launch from 343 not bc of Reach it was crossplay with PC players. I’m 100% sure if 343 was to release reach alone without crossplay the servers would still be terrible.

And since 2014 till now H2A which is only available through MCC still never got any new content. Yes the 1999 armor was put into H2A during the 20th anniversary but thats it there’s no new remastered maps, no new armors.

H2A Elites still have the same 3 armor types since 2014
H2A Spartans still have the same 3 armor types from 2014 along with the 1999 armor from 20th anniversary that came out last year.

Thank god for Destiny 1 though that game made me forget MCC and Halo 5 existed.

It’s like watching a loved one suffering in a disfunctional relationship. Lots of broken promises and heartbreak.

Man, oddball is just oddball, no? I like rounds system, for me it much more enjoyable than H5 for example.
Strongholds have the same problem as H5, snowball effect yeah, but it’s just players that unable to play it right. People running around not holding zones that’s it, the same old story.
Idk how many times in H5 I was in rage because my team mates wanted all three zones and in the end we loose our positions because of spawn swaps.

343 needs developer. They the equivalent of the meme where the guy says send dudes.

I think now I understand why there’s no forge mode…
There’s no maps or game types to forge with
:skull:
I wish they would’ve cut campaign and the tv show to have a more complete multiplayer experience.

It wasn’t the progress of Halo 5 that brought players back, it was actually fixing MCC and then upgrading it, with free updates. I agree however the Infinite team pissed away all that goodwill they made from MCC, all because they decided to go the MTX F2P route instead of the “Good Game” route.

It’s baffling isnt it.

At this stage it can only be arrogance and complacency.

This is what I believe + I think they are overrated/ overpayed and lazy as f. They try to do some moves with microsoft so they could get 6 more lazy years making cinematics, focus on campain and merchandising because this is all they can do. // anticheat. matchmaking and desync should have been the number one priority. They like it when we beg for content because we forget the most important thing : matchmaking rework - desync - anticheat

Is really sad seeing this halo “fans” talking so much hate, mi experience with halo infinite even though it hasn’t been perfect , it’s quiet enjoyable. It’s not a life thing, it’s just a game which pretend to be funny

I’m finally calling it quits. 2000 games later, desperately hoping they would build on the solid gameplay base, and fix the issues. But they haven’t. The absolute killer for me is their aggressive SBMM in social. I do not want to be playing against high diamond and onyx players every game in social. If I did I would jump in the ranked playlist. I am just sick of it. You can’t relax, lean back and have a beer with friends playing this game. If you drop a shot you go 5-10.

Sorry, I’ve given them enough chances, I’m moving on. To be clear to 343. Your idea that aggressive SBMM in social encourages people to keep playing is absolutely wrong, it has done the complete opposite for me.

Now I’m moving on to other games that will reward me for the effort I put in, and not punish me for getting better at it. Later

Today again a PC Player cheating in ranked. A smurf account with only 14 matches played, but went something like 20 kills 5 death.
Watched his gameplay in theater mode. He could see through walls. He did not even point with his BR on the head, he just got headshots.
Thank you, 343, for allowing cross plattform in ranked. The biggest mistake you ever made.
And no, im not going to make a video and report the cheater. What for?
I did it once and it took 1 month until i got the Notice “actions are taken”.
If his account is banned he just makes another one.

Many people have gone before you and many will go after. What is 343’s response? The SBMM must not be strict enough. It most definitely does not retain players. At least not the ones that would actually grow the game and bring their friends… Because you can’t play with your friends anymore.

If you’re disappointed about all this… try being a campaign player. Lol we’re left entirely high and dry since launch, and campaign has been the bread and butter of Halo since '01
