I think Halo Infinite should implement these changes to make it feel “thicker”.
~ Implement an Anti-cheat A.S.A.P: Cheaters are making their way into the game and the higher rank you get, the more likely your going to run into them. It demotivates people from grinding the game and will kill player base.
~ Add categories to give the players more options: Like Halo 3, there should be ranked FFA, Duos, Slayer, HCS, Make BTB, and Social (non-ranked games) their own playlists again. Side note: Keep people grinding, by adding more ranks, levels, and/or easy in-game accessible leaderboards like a top 2500 players or something like that. Give incentives like charms, skins, etc. for ranked achievements away, that would be good too.
~ Input locking: Give us the choice of locking and unlocking our preferred input in the main menu.
~ Adding tournament hubs in-game: Ease of access to tournaments and introducing HCS to curious casual players.
~ The ability to shoot bots while waiting to join a game/loading into a match.
~ Halo Reach style customization
~ Pre/post-game chat and being able to party up after a game with the press of a button.
~ Quality of Life changes/fixes:
- De sync issues like Melee hit reg, Ghost shots, Picking up Obj.
- Grenade explosion and hit detection and unbalanced radius
- UI glitches and bugs
- Adding more items to the shop
