Infinite has 4 major problems; They have only (barely) addressed 1

Halo Infinite has 4 main problems:

  1. The netcode is awful. Desync/melee/hit registration is still absolutely terrible. Even 20 ping games feel hilariously bad.

  2. The way they have implemented True Skill 2 for skill based matchmaking is awful and ruins both the ranked and social experiences. SBMM is not a problem, but the way they have implemented it is a problem, where everything is based around a global hidden MMR.

  3. The progression systems are either non-existent or terrible.

  4. There’s almost no content.

They have done the bare minimum to address #4, but it seems they are pretending #1-3 don’t exist in their roadmap. They really need to be commenting on improvements to all of these systems. Even minor tweaks to #1 and #2 could fix a lot of things, and I think they could copy-paste the progression system of Reach, Halo 3, or Halo 5 and most people could live with it. They could help #4 a lot if they’d just fix custom games, too.

As it is, the core of this game feels broken and like a beta at best, and the “live service” aspect of this game is woefully inadequate. I respect that the devs need to keep work-life balance in check, but if all they do is add some new content without fixing bad netcode, bad SBMM, and bad progression systems, the new content won’t matter.

343 is slow walking this game and it’s really shameful. 343 had 6 years to get us a full game and now we’re getting things in piecemeal.

Their words and actions don’t line up for me. Their words say they care about the game, etc but their actions suggest they are just milking the game for money.

The gameplay and campaign I honestly enjoy but the lack of game modes, maps, etc are really making the game stale. The challenges, and lack of progression beyond the battlepass is also pretty shameful. The ultimate reward is like a free sample at a store, sometimes it’s ok but if you want the good stuff, etc you have to shell out money to buy credits and buy stuff in the store.

Infinite will not survive 10 years. Period.
