Far too many people in this world will read a single tweet, or watch a single YouTube video and that will be all the “evidence” they need. Even if the tweet or video makes every effort to claim speculation. Most just claim themselves as fact, but even Sean goes on for over a minute disclaiming his videos as speculation - doesn’t matter. Critical thinking seems to be the single rarest human attribute anymore.
I was cautious after H4, but lost all trust after MCC (which came out before H5 btw).
I’ve got bigger concerns than Infinite, my person.
You can doomsay all you want. If the game turns out well, cool - if it doesn’t, it’s just another 343i failure. I have way, way bigger things on my plate to deal with.
What absolutely ravages me though is the dreck you people will believe because you can not stop feeding the hate machine. Gods, how do you people thrive on such unhappiness? Get a life.
It is a considerable shame.
Pretends to be shocked.
You may want to look into getting one of those lives you speak of. You seem to be the one that gets angrier and angrier at the thought that this game may never turn out to be the blockbuster you, and the rest of the fan base hoped it would be.
You also have trouble with opinions that differ from your own. Might want to look into working on that as well.
Edit: this comment got flagged? Not sure how suggesting the commentor do the same that they suggested to me gets my comment flagged? If I had to guess, my comments were a bullseye and the truth hurt a little bit so they reported it. Oh well.
If they don’t fix this one Halo game, I do not jump on the next train, I’m off, and I’ll join the crusade of those who want to see Halo burn to the ground, to stop spoiling the memories of Bungie’s Halo (no, I am not a fan boy, I actually loved Halo 4) but for me it went down hill with Halo 5. Infinite is way better then Halo 5, but has too many flaw.
Judging by the recent shift in upper management, I would say Microsoft probably dropped the 10-year plan vs. 343.
You’ve got a very different version of me in your head man, keep shadowboxing her and you might get a hit in.
Well, the fact that most or all of the management has been changed that idea may have been thrown out the window. What I would hope with this change is they focus on hiring more people, fixing current features that don’t work and add all other features that should’ve been in the game at launch.
Infinite way better than 5? That is completely wrong on all levels!
This is 100% fully what I expect. I don’t expect another road map for Infinite, once they finish everything on the current roadmap I expect that to be the end and for 343 to move on and try to make a better game, but they need to drop the failed F2P Live service ideas, it doesn’t retain players, and 343 have PROVEN they can’t handle it.
Except Halo 5’s MP was widely regarded as “well liked” during it’s life cycle. AND MCC has become the best Halo experience to date.
Your point doesn’t really stand when Halo 5 never crashed and the MCC team gave MCC a douse with the fire extinguisher and polished it up for several years.
Halo 5 is way better even with just ground pounds, thrusting, assassinations, and yoinking.
so, what’s the verdict. When’s infinite’s coffin-date?
When Season 3 makes all of its profits, they might close it up and then slowly update fix it like they did with Halo MCC.
It is a 10 year plan still. Just a 10 year plan to get it from beta to vanilla.
That legitimately might still be the plan for 343. Just focus on updates to hammer out the networking. However, the longest time between updates for Halo MCC was 1049 Days : 14 hours : 37 mins : 28 seconds.
So we know that this can possibly be a 10 year process regardless.
Like someone wrote in one of the threads regarding the layoffs - they’ve had a good run with fixing the issues they created themselves already. I believe it’s only fair to believe that MS has reached the ‘enough is enough’ state given their recent moves surrounding 343 and Halo, the studio had 6 years, one whole extra year of delay when Infinite was supposed to be the launch title for XSX, the whole marketing hovered around that game, and they still didn’t deliver, politely speaking, another year and two seasons later the game is still in the exact same shape, Season 3 would have to be a real miracle that fixes enormous amount of issues if the game wants to have any longer run, let alone 10 years, no one, literally no one will be working on a gane that has less than 1K players, they’ll leave it as it is because those few die-hard fans accept the game as it is, and it’s just better to move the resources onto the next project.
For years now, I’ve been struggling to understand why so many Halo fans have such disregard for Halo 4 and Halo Guardians, both great games in my opinion.
I’m gonna guess that your comment is directed more at their respective multiplayer offerings than their single player campaign, so I’m going to respond to that.
Go play Halo 3!!!
… it makes not a drop of sense to me, as a ‘classic Halo’ fan like yourself, to not appreciate Halo’s multiplayer changing somewhat with each release, they can’t just keep releasing Halo 3 with better graphics, which it appears a rather healthy number of ‘classic Halo’ fans want, although I don’t think that group really takes the time to understand ‘why’ they want that.
I love that 4 switched things up with it’s soft take on C.O.D.'s ‘loadouts’ and that 5 placed an emphasis on movement and vertical use of the map with Spartan Charge and Ground Pound… and that Infinite kinda brought us back.
… all of it still felt and played like Halo but more importantly, gave the player something ‘new’ to invest their time and efforts into.
here, think about it like this… how disappointed would you have been, how many angry comments would you have left on these message boards, if Halo 4, Halo Guardians, and Halo Infinite all released with new campaigns but then redirected you to Halo 3 when you jumped onto multiplayer. 
I also cannot wrap my head around all those die-hard Halo fanboys who “want just the same game with updated graphics” who don’t just go play the MMC, that’s like, EXACTLY what they ever wanted.
I can’t wrap mine around that misconception.
i think nobody can wrap there head about then in the first place.
if i read the first post from this thread now my head is going to hurt again like it has done last time a few years ago on a other thread with the same type off things more.
Is said, followed by;
Not just loadouts, all changes made for Halo 4 could be found in COD.
Soo, Halo became a sort of COD clone to cater to COD fans.
Why not just…
Go play COD!!!?
Among other things,
Which begs to question, why not just go play any of the other games having more emphasis on movement with Advanced Movement mechanics?
Others didn’t think they felt like Halo.
“New” doesn’t translate into good.
Do you mean the old multiplayer?
Quite disappointed. Just as I was disappointed in each of Halo 4’s and 5’s mechanics, and in their campaigns.
See, having a carbon copy isn’t wanted, change isn’t opposed.
It’s the direction some changes take the games into which people take issues with.
Nobody who neglects to put any thought into it that is.
