It’s not a joke. The fact that you want a reimbursement at all shows you are actually serious. Unless you are admitting your thread is some kind of joke?

Long story short, the game is a mess and 343 is more concerned about cash grabbing then making a decent game.
Halo infinite is a joke and that’s because 343 higher-ups are a joke.

It’s more depressing to see it being poorly handled. We went from 272k on Steam to barely 6.5k in 2 months and 343i’s lack of response to that and there lack of interest in owning up to their mistakes or even an apology about lying about the progression system has me worried for the franchise.

I don’t want to make excuses for them, but I think they are clearly behind on forge and campaign coop given they failed to give us an update during January. I’m sure 80-90% of their team that can “fix” issues are on that right now. I bet they do have a much smaller group on things like desync and they are just shrugging their shoulders right now - probably not the right set of guys assigned their if I had to guess. Probably overwhelmed with tickets and struggling to prioritize them.
They have supposedly fixed some of those bugged challenges, ffa should be counting again correctly in addition to sniper body shots and disrupter kills according to the tickets they have closed for me. And supposedly we have another BTB fix incoming. I’m not sure of any other fixes. And whether we like it or not, their priority is probably shop + challenges (since you can buy swaps and progress that battle pass).
Pretty disappointing overall so far.

I have many conflicting feelings here
One on hand I want halo to get more successful (as long as they start improving and listening to us)
On the other hand watching 343 face plant, and then do so over and over again, in shocking new ways, is pretty great.
I think after a year or two the game will be in a good place and they’ll start making halo 7

I’ve gone from being passionate about bringing some positive change to this game, to rooting for this game to burn. 343 have consistently shown they are not capable of delivering a title that is complete, functional, and above all, fun to play. This game is arguably one of the worst offenders.
Infinite is a poorly made and monetised game, covered in a razor thin veil of nostalgic graphics. It’s a spit in the face to long time fans, and they refuse to acknowledge this gargantuan failure to deliver. I uninstalled the game the other day and don’t intend on playing it again.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be playing the Bungie titles. At least they are solid, functional games with no mtx and excellent stories. Not some nostalgia baiting garbage.

It’s funny because they built a new engine so they could have vast options for things with no limits…… I’d imagine that at 343 they have a clown juggling around the office to keep the atmosphere right. They should feel ashamed of how they launch games. Then you have Max over at Certain Affinity (the brains behind the OG XBL) making a game type catered at new players. How about pay Max to fix the game. He has a big brain and he could potentially fix this mess.

The game is -BLAM- dumpster-fire, but no-one wants to admit it. Challenges are extremely bad for the game. Every time I play around them, I get more and more pissed off.
It’s going to die so hard at this rate.

Gonna be honest at this point, I DON’T want Infinite to succeed. I, deep down, hope it fails so 343 has a reason to go back to MCC and continue making that the definitive Halo experience.

100% agreement. Post must be at least 20 charizards.

Its funny in part because of the raging dumpster fire that 343 calls “upper management” but also because of just how badly they seem to fumble… everything. Still no sight of co-op, forge or even ray tracing…
They premiere Halo Infinite gameplay and when it sparks massive backlash and disappointment, Geenberg goes “Did you watch it in 4k? You guys need to watch it in 4k, it looks great” Lol. If they’re not treating their fans like cash dispensers, they’re talking to fans like they’re all Simple Jack.
6 years and a literal mountain of cash, its even less feature complete than 5 was and way more unstable. It’s almost an Anthem level of failure. It’s genuinely stunning to see a production fail so miserably. Given the kind of company Microsoft is now, this was an inevitability. And its why ALL the studios they have will eventually end up the same way.

definently wasting time with the shop. focusing on gameplay is the way to go.
It’s sad…I love Halo and don’t understand why Infinite is so buggy….also why doesn’t 343 communicate with us about the real issues.

All 343 needed to do was continue being Halo. Now they’re trying to be a COD and fortnight hybrid. It’s going to purge Halo fans because they don’t want halo to be those games, they want halo; or at least I do.

Do you know how much money Fortnite is making? Who cares about Halo.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t touched Halo Infinite since December… I don’t think I will again either. There are too many issues with the game for me to want to spend my time and money on it. It’s not for me.
Yet here I am… Almost every week looking at the halowaypoint forums. Laughing my -Yoink!- off. Hoping that the cringy people who worked on this “game” will get their heads out of their -Yoink!- or their feelings hurt. I don’t care which at this point. They deserve both, but I’m leaning more towards the latter.

Not a joke when you’re whining about getting reimbursed for a product you agreed to pay for. Victim mindset, look at you right there assuming it’s a “joke” being made about you… Sorry but it’s not all revolved around you and an agreement for that price was made, foolishly.
It’s hard for me to blame the rank and file devs because most of them are just trying to eek out a living doing something they thought would be their dream job. And a lot of those are $hort (why censor the word $hort? Stupid) term employees that will be looking for a new job in the next year and half no matter how good of a job they do.
Upper management and the cost cutting measures are killing gaming right now. Every suit and tie at Xbox, 343, and related Microsoft departments needs a swift kick in the -Yoink!- to get their lives right and hire permanent teams to make great games. Are you really trying to tell me that Microsoft can afford a $70bn CASH DEAL to buy activision but can’t swing paying enough full time devs for their flagship franchise? What a joke. The higher ups like Phil Spencer should know better. Tired of being treated like a second class citizen as someone who loves Halo. This game is a joke and the whole thing was easily preventable if the stuffed shirts weren’t so freaking cheap.

I got censored for saying -Yoink!- earlier.
Edit: …and it does still censor “$houldn’t”
