I don't play Halo to have "fun". I play to achieve something

Yeah I read that comment that’s why I said what I said because it’s not feedback it’s just your opinion on what fun is

Good question…

I didn’t read that far in :sweat_smile:

All I know is when I start seeing an attacker or defender in the end it’s the lock that ruins all the fun :pensive:

True I get that. And it’s frustrating. The last thing I want is for people to be going at it.

I will say another frustrating thing is locking the “magic word” thread. It doesn’t help their case. People are already making connections as to why their locking it.

Yeah silly me :man_facepalming:

Well constructive wise, right here, right now…

What do you want 343 to do about infinite then? Add stats right? I agree with that one definitely.

How come technology gets better but we get the least stats in the latest installment of the game? :woozy_face:

I mean, you can easily play something else. There’s literally thousands of games to play. I’ve been playing Halo since 2006, also 15 years, but I don’t restrict myself to a single game cause that gets boring to me after a while.

If you wanna work towards something, play Monster Hunter, Forza Horizon 5, hell, you could even play the infamous Fortnite if you wanted to.

For the record, I enjoy Infinite for what it is at the moment. I prefer the more traditional gameplay over 5s, even though I did enjoy 5s MP quite a bit. Of course I have my gripes about the game, but none that make me want to wish it was a previous game (which still exist and are playable btw).

No one is forcing you to play Halo and only Halo. I certainly don’t.

Hopefully you’ll understand what I mean when I say this but everything that is Halo 5 should come back. I’m not talking about the ablities. Or the story. I’m talking about the

Action report.

The cleaner UI

The screen where you see eachothers emblems before a game

Being able to choose more colors.

Being able to clearly see who’s what rank at the end of a game.

Other things not realtes to above:

Red reticle needs to come back for PC. It’s not fair that I play with a controller and don’t get that feature.

Collision should come back

Outlines should be a toggle.

Assinaitions should come back as a toggle.

You should start off with the thruster pack as your starting equipment and you still be able to swap out other equipment as you play. This will give players who don’t have equipment a fair chance against those that have it

The Halo 5 Magnum should come back. ADS and everything. Even the running animation. It should be used for ranked play.

FIX THE TRUSTER PACK. It’s gimped and it should funstion like the way it did in halo 5.

I want 343 to pubically explain trick jumps. Normies shouldn’t be left out. I also said this about Halo 5. Halo 5 should have had a dedicated 343 video explaining trick jumps so that the average player understands what high level play is. I bet a lot of people would’ve liked Halo 5 more if they understood how to use the thrust and other combos.

More ranked playlists. THAT ARE PERMANENT.

fix the no legs on higher fov

Fix the melee and lunge. I already have clips of melees not registering or someone getting a kill they shouldn’t have

Also when it comes to the maps the weapons should be placed natrually not on walls. Idk who did this but if they were in a forge lobby and showed a map like that they would get roasted for it. Same with grenades. They should not be on pads. Nothing should be on pads period but they way Halo 5 was enough. It was just the weapon pads and nothing more.

Theres so much that I don’t think I can cover it in one sitting

Who said I don’t at different games?

How is Sprint in halo traditional?

I mean that’s on you, videogames have always been about having fun.
the industry shouldn’t cater to you because you need to prove something to yourself. Nobody else will care about what you achieve, only you.

Achieving things IS fun. Working hard on a project IS fun.

Playing casually is just relaxing.

At least that’s how I see it

You did, I quote “I can’t just go play something else.”

Stop being facetious, you know what I mean. I don’t really care for Sprint but it also isn’t a complete gamebreaker like it was in Reach or 4. By traditional gameplay, I mean all the fancy movement options that 5 added. As I said, I enjoy 5s gameplay, but that doesn’t mean I want Infinite to be exactly like 5 either. Sprint and slide are good enough. I don’t want there to be constant thruster, shoulder base, ground pound, or hover. Just don’t care for any of that stuff.

Except it does. In fact just because it has slide it makes the sprint worse. Just take off the rose tinted glasses for a second and really look at the maps. They are bare. Stretched out. Barely anything in the empty rooms. Classic maps aren’t like that. Halo 5 maps arent like that. You know what maps are like that? Halo 4s. Everything is farther apart because of Sprint. There has been MANY videos proving this. It’s not classic Halo and it’s not good advanced movement either. It’s just the same exact thing you can do in call of duty. What do they do in call of duty warzone? What’s that combo that all the seats use? That Sprint slide cancel thing right? It gets you around the map faster right? What do you think the Sprint slide in halo infinite is doing? Making you slower? No. It makes you faster.

I understand not wanting the ground pound or spartan charge. I’d anything I’m advocating for Halo 5s HCS settings which removed those two things.

But the thrust? Yeah I get it may not be classic Halo but why wouldn’t you want a thrust ? Is it just not fun? That’s the one thing I thought they would keep. It’s the one thing that almost all players loved about Halo 5. It makes the gameplay a lot more exciting because you can do MORE.

Oh yeah you got some good points in hear, I’m sure many would agree :+1:

What sucks is what they gave us is what we’re going to have for a while, at least until we get more options to make games out in in customs/forge.

But I know just online matchmaking alone, it would be great to have matching the way we want it and not have to go to a custom game browser and be at the mercy of finding full lobbies or the creativity to have fun or a challenge.

I’ve looked at MCC’s custom game browser, theirs more boring than fun creations in my opinion. I hope infinite can change us and give us uh, infinite loads of fun? :sweat_smile:

We’ve been asking to have proper clear in game stats since Halo Reach. First they took em’ out of the game and put them on waypoint/Bungie.net and now they’ve left it up to somebody else.

I preferred when you got everything you needed from the disc. Now they just expect everybody to use social media and other websites.

I’m an aged old fool but I deleted my social media years ago. Hence why I’m a lazy gamer hence why I like consoles over pcs.

When I play if it’s not in the game I don’t see… although Reach conditioned me to come here.

I don’t like the way they force you to use other systems. It’s lazy… a bit like me.

I also don’t like how negative these places can be which ruins the experience of the game.

Yup gone are the days of you buying a disk from the local game store and popping the disk in to play.

Now everything is one social media and even some replies from 343 show up on Reddit instead of here.

Everything should be on the game. You shouldn’t have to look at Halo tracker

Yeah. Halo can be toxic. It’s because people can’t accept that other people have different tastes in video games so they attack their performance to make a point that their opinion doesn’t matter because they are casual

From the game not actually being on the disk. To the nonreplayabe missons. To the no co op. Idk how anyone is happy with infnite right now no matter how good the campagin is

My question is …would I/anyone - enjoy the game more if You didn’t listen to anybody and just played it.

It maybe not perfect but it does have a ranking system to progress on…

Although not starting you from Bronze to then progress to Onyx seems counter intuitive.

The journey from 1-40 in Halo 2/3 gave you a sense of accomplishment. With this system they cut that journey in half and just make it super hard from 10 games in.

tbf achieving something can be pretty fun too.

I’m sorry to hear that. That’s a sad way to experience video games.

You’d be surprised how many people agree with that sentiment, one of the biggest arguments out there is that no one asked for Halo to be F2P and I personally believe 343i would be able to sustain itself on a traditional gaming model instead of this.

The issue here is that 343i can’t backtrack, they’ve made it as is, it has been released as is, even if they suddenly made it $60 (bundled with campaign ofc), removed all the micro-transactions, they’d still need to fix WAY too many issues before it even came close to being worth that $60.

By the time that they’ve fixed the game enough to be worth taking it off the F2P monetization path, it will be incredibly hard to justify that to the F2P players who’ve bought the battlepass or simply just been around for a while, it’ll be a huge kick in the nuts for them.

This is before we mention any potential backlash on it’s already rough MP reception and who knows what else could crop up from even doing this.

I think 343 has exactly what they want… people buying their crappy overpriced snake oil. About a third to half the players in my lobbies have purchased some overpriced MTX or another. If we count battlepass, I’d say it’s at least half.

Gamers taken as a whole community are morons. They complain loudly on reddit and forums about this kind of stuff, but then they go and buy things in-game. Even the big youtubers who complain about this stuff have bought things in-game. Mega-corps like 343 don’t care about the complaining. They care about their bottom line.

My guess: 343 is making money hand over fist on the current model and won’t change a thing about what they are doing.

Sometimes in life bandaids need to be ripped off.

I ganretee you the moment forge and co op launches we are going to go through the same growing pains the Halo 5 forge had. It was great but the launch of Halo 5s forge wasn’t without it’s bugs. Who knows what features it’s ganna release with either.

They need to do a hard course correct because someone is always going to be on the back burner

I never played in assinaition lobbies but I can tell they are hurting right now. Halo is known to have its little micro communities. Infection has its own too. Idk why on earth they decided to release it like this.

If I were 343 I would make sure that launching complete would be the FIRST thing on the list. Just imagine if infnite launched with forge. The game would’ve gotten so much praise even if it was broken on launch. It’s like they don’t think it care about what a Halo fan wants.
