Games live and die on their launch, and Infinite is currently busy falling on its sword. Why should I bother being patient with 343 when by the time they’ve managed to fix it everyone else has long given up and gone off to play other games? It’s the exact fate that befell Halo 5 and Infinite is currently in a worse state.
Unless 343 acts big time and acts faster than they’ve ever acted in their entire existence - which I guarantee you they won’t - Infinite is doomed.
I know, its simply hard to believe with your rather active presence on these forums.
So thats it then, Halo Infinite is already dead. Wow that was quick. Infinite was dead -5 days into it.
This forum is just one tab among many. I used to check news headlines as my ‘microbreaks’, but they’re depressing.
And these forums aren’t? 
Nah, these are cathartic lol.
What?
We don’t need Halo to copy Fortnite or Valoran or Apex.
It might not be 2001 but guess what, Halo 1- Reach worked. Reach might not have been 100% perfect but it worked. Why? Because people loved that setup.
So yeah, we don’t need a battle pass or 90% of the cosmetics behind a paywall.
Also yeah, the majority of people everywhere are disliking the game. The only people who I seen really liking it are gaming news outlets (some being it their 1st halo) and people who love f2p games.
It’s not the first Halo for these gaming websites - the articles are just pay jobs. I see Insertion Orders for these positive plugs all the time.
A majority? Got a link to back that up?
Get out of your internet bubble, my dude. There’s tons of people having a blast with Infinite, myself included. Stop letting digital clothes ruin your fun. No one really cares what your Spartan looks like.
Well a little over half of the Steam playerbase has already dropped Infinite (and it continues to drop at a “stone dead by the end of the month” rate), so technically a majority of people do in fact dislike the game enough to not play it any more.
I love how you guys just pull this crap out of the sky. Half my YOINK.
Alright, here are some hard numbers for you:
Peak player count on November 16: 269,176
Peak player count yesterday, December 2: 116,627
116,627/269,176 = 43.3%
I trust you are familiar enough with using a computer to be able to enter ‘Halo Infinite Steam stats’ into your search engine of choice if you want to verify these numbers for yourself.
oooohhhhh I see. You’re basing all your claims off one platform. Noted.
Of course I am, but I’m not the one tossing around wild claims.
The old its in beta nonesense. Cant wait till wednesday when your realise this is it…
I’ll be rolling through the campaign on the 8th, Can’t wait.
I feel sorry for you since you don’t know how to have fun 
Lol overwhelming praise… you mean like IGN and reddit? Not really a great pulse on how the community is receiving this garbage. Just wait for the player plummet after Christmas and New Years.
Steam numbers are already plummeting.
Hey now, let’s be reasonable. One of the two platforms the game is available on losing almost 60% of its players already does not in any way indicate that the game is being poorly received, you know.
Iv had 5 full days of fun so far. People just wish the game wasnt so bare bones
You don’t get to make a post with a title like that and then not break down all your points in the style of Alanis Morrissette.
For instance.
"A fran-chise,
Turned decade two,
It smashed the gameplay, but gouged the **** outta you,
It’s the Prophet of Truth, in your underground bunker,
It’s a flag cap, two seconds too late,
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
It’s like bu-uh-ggers, in your Halo 3,
It’s Free to Playayay, when you’d rather just pay,
And who would’ve thought, it triggers?
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He caught the only banshee and kissed his *** goodbye,
He waited the whole damn match to take that flight
And as the grapple crashed home, he thought
“No challenge for me.”
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
It’s like bu-uh-ggers, in your Halo 3,
It’s Free to Playayay, when you’d rather just pay,
it’s the well loved game modes, you just didn’t make,
And who would’ve thought, it triggers?
Well, games have a funny way of sneaking up on you,
When you think everythings gonna be great, and everything’s going right,
And 343 has a funny way of launching half formed,
So you think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up,
In your face,
A desync when you’re driving a hog,
A pebble that launches you into a wall,
It’s like armour cores when all you want is your dude,
It’s meeting the shader of my dreams,
And then meeting his horrific price tag,
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
A little too ironic,
And, yeah, I really do think,
It’s like bu-uh-ggers, in your Halo 3,
It’s Free to Playayay, when you’d rather just pay,
It’s the core systems that you just left behind,
And who would’ve thought, it triggers?
And, yeah, 343 has a funny way of repeating the same old mistakes,
343 has a funny, funny way of shooting their own foot,
Shooting their own foot."
I’d like to note, buggers never really bugged me, and I actually think that while it’s incredibly frustrating that we’re repeating the same old “there’s gold in those hills, but we’ve launched with a mountain on top of it to clear”, 343 can, and I hope will, solve it and make Infinite MP as amazing as it so nearly is.
Please 343. You’re smart people. You know what you did. You know what to do to get it right. Please.
