I was able to play halo infinite October 2nd from 11-12 pm est. I lost my two games, the first game was total control and I thought the idea of the game mode was interesting and the gameplay was amazing. I liked that halo went back to its roots in terms of aiming with the gun instead of halo 5. The gun play was awesome and the sprinting/movement was nice paired with the grappling hook which was a nice addition. The second game was capture the flag neither team won but I was able to score a flag and it brought back some old memories of a teammate pulling up beside me with a warthog and I got in and my teammate drove me to our base and I scored which was nice.
I played BTB for a bit but the time to kill has gone way down in speed of death, felt like Battlefield, and not having BR starts on huge maps is just ridiculous. You need to aim for Halo2-4 multiplayer play. Halo 5 multiplayer was garbage with power weapons everywhere. I’m OG playing campaign or LAN parties back in 2001-2004 pre Xbox Live. Halo 2 was perfect. Bring Terminal, Headlong, & Relic back, Relic, Terminal, Headlong, and Zanzibar. Guns need to do less damage or have a more powerful over shield/health system.the whole CoD weapon drops is lame too. Keep Halo Halo. Stop trying to copy bits of other games and keep the core gameplay the same. Basically give me Halo 2-4 multiplayer and just constantly upgrade graphics. Snd add new maps. All these shiny new things are just distracting from a lack luster multiplayer experience. It should’ve always been the flag carrier puts flag on back, which allows you to shoot. The alert system is good when flag taken/dropped.
