Don’t you mean (12 characters) The character population has dropped

Well, if this thread can be revived after a month of no posts why can’t Infinite be on its feet inside half a decade or so?
Completely unrelated, but I did once encounter someone who knew how to fudge the twenty character limit. It was absolute sorcery.

I think the weapons are broken more so by modders. The hydra with 20 rockets, cindershot that fills up a room, phasing through players, shooting through walls, invincibility, and shock weapons that kill you and kill again upon spawning. If these issues were handled, then focusing on weapon strengths would be a minor complaint (for me).

I think it is become so. The routine message of “There may not be enough players to support a game in this playlist. Please try a different playlist.” ---- this is for ranked. 6 months in and ranked is dead.

Playing during peak time I’ve noticed I am getting matches with over 90 ms ping, sometimes close to 200 ms. Seems like less people playing my region as it was normally 20 ms.

I don’t even know, I’m officially on hiatus with Infinite until 343 fixes the Desync & Unplayable High Ping lobbies

Bold of you make that claim without acknowledging that most of that is core gameplay that is missing, unfinished. The rest of the franchise launched with it, they did not. If the game does survive, the window of expanding into a new audience is long passed now. They could drop all kinds of content, but if desync isnt a fixable problem your hanging a chandelier in a haunted house. I leveled the season 1 bp to 100 without purchase as well, just holding off for a week or two while they get desync until control from launch, That didnt age well. When in a precision shooter, your shooting engagements are almost unrelated to your actual performance that is a very frustrating bit of gameplay to have be the backbone of the game,

Is this not an acknowledgement that all of that stuff is currently not finished / missing from the game?
You aren’t going to be hyped about things to come if you buy an ice-cream cone and they hand you an empty cone. Hype about things to come at this point ignores every action taken so far being in blatant bad faith or incredible ignorance, take your pick. Things to come don’t get credit if they fall into the category of “every other title in the franchise has had this on launch”, even more so when the performance has been dreadful.
I haven’t spent $0.01 on Halo Infinite (I already had game pass) and I’ve really enjoyed playing it so far. How could I not be hyped about that? Imagine complaining about free ice cream.
If that ice cream is made of poop, yeah. Id complain lol

“Bulldog: Needs a damage boost for when you are close, like in the past. It should be the counter to the sword but currently it’s not.”
No. If Infection is added at some point, then they should bring back the classic pump action shotgun for that. The bulldog is its own unique weapon and should stay distinct from it. It still can counter the sword because longer range.

Its not dead but it sure is lacking content and players.
Most game modes are also broken.
In team slayer the MMR rating system is broken.
The desync is killing the game too.
The game goes from fun to frustrating when you feel the desync happening.
It can be a smooth experience and all of a sudden you just feel how bad it plays, aiming is all over the place and shots not register. And your own shield is going out in 1 second and you get killed behind a corner.
Everybody ask themselves this. If MS cared about the franchise they’d be throwing every recourse they have at it. But they are not. This is why it seems to me that they want Infinite to fail. Maybe not the entire franchise but this one currently. They know large amounts of money wont be made from it and are letting it die.
They’ll try again once it’s dead providing they can build a more enticing model that satisfies the shareholders. And that’s how it will now always be folks so you may as well move on
It was a misstake to make the a new engine and not use UE5 or UE4.
I think the next Halo must be UE5, imagine Forge in UE5
