Thought id go back to multiplayer which ive not been on since just after launch and i was just reminded why i walked away from it!
Radar - no one appearing on your radar yet all of a sudden people out of nowhere smack you in the back and kill you!
People quitting games - every game i played we had teammates quit and were left with a small number of us agains the oposite team resulting in us being slaughtered! This happened probably 7 out of 10 games! People on this forum openly admit they quit games all the time and even brag about claiming there not wasting there time in a game mode that wont let them do there challenges etc… what happened to people playing cause a game is fun and not making it all about a constant grind to unlock poxy pieces of armour that make 0 difirence to the gameplay!!! People quiting games need instant bans! If your not going to play most games you get put into then dont play at all!
Cross Play - everytime someone was scoring a high number of kills and hardly any deaths and repeatedly slaughtering me and in some cases what i would have certainly considered a miracle the profile always belonged to a PC player! Its no secret PC players are more hardcore than console gamers and im not a person who gets alot of time on my console so i consider myself a occasional player and would like the choice to play against console players only!
Melee kills - normally takes 1 from the back or 2 from the front yet certain people where killing us with only one melee hit to the front!
XP progression- same issue since launch… you can have a great game and perform well with triple kill, splatter spree etc but will only be rewarded xp if you completed a challenge or complete a full game… no incentive for performance at all
Honestly all these issues and all the other issues people have recorded will never all be resolved this game is a disgrace! ive always been a massive halo fan and enjoyed multiplayer but not this time im done with infinites multiplayer and the campaign didnt leave me itching to play again either with its lifeless open world, repetative missions in the same old environments (forunner structure) constantly pulling the weopon out to open a door or having to refit a power seed to get through each door etc with its mediocre story
Ive said it once before and il say it again this franchise needs bungie back to revive it!! Or even risk moving it to another studio cause 343 just cant get it right!
Hey ngl if I play a match for a few kills and my bullets don’t Work because of desync or lag etc, if it isn’t ranked I just leave. Its not worth the frustration.
It’s 2022, halo is the only game that still punishes you for dipping out in social matches.
This game has issues for sure but let’s be real. We’re NEVER going to get the dopamine hit that Halo 1-Reach gave us. This was all new and exciting. Xbox live was still fresh. We’ll never get that nostalgia from joining a custom game 16 player FFA on Lockout at 2am just to BS and talk while we play. Online gaming was FRESH and EXCITING. We didn’t have 900 titles to play online and there were only a few that really excelled on live. Gears, Halo, MW2.
I truly wish I could experience that again but we never will. We have online gaming at our literal fingertips now. I think some of the reasons I mentioned is what made Halo a very special game back in the good ole days. I mean quite a few people have caught accidental perma bans from Xbox this week. The enforcement of Xbox honestly turns me away from talking to ANYONE outside of my play group. Xbox enforcement has honestly destroyed a lot of social aspects of gaming. We’ll NEVER make the friends we did or have the memories we had with the old Halo games.
Oh hell no! Have you seen the work this new Bungie has done with Destiny?
I may not like what 343 is doing right now, but Bungie can’t even balance a scale and has literally nerfed Destiny to the ground. They don’t even know how to make any decent content anymore, and a lot of that has to do with the key devs leaving Bungie.
If I’ve smacked someone with a hammer twice and they’re still running around smiling I’m quitting, what is the point in staying?
Not only that but you can tell within a minute what your team is like. If I’m running round getting kills and marking more enemies then I die and look on my team’s cams and they’re all in one room hiding together, not pushing with me, not looking where I’ve just marked one shots, again, what the hell is the point.
If they are even trying, then obviously I’ll stay and carry if I have to, but if not then bye!
That’s just it. The servers, the challenges, desync, all of it effectively make this game NOT fun.
People are playing because they feel obligated to. Hell, during the Christmas event I was logging in on my phone and just AFKing to complete my daily match and be done.
Yes but not in intentions. Bungie knew better than to change the formula and they did so in spite of the fans. 343 was just following what Bungie did. Despite how much I love reach, it was the stab in the heart the series never recovered from
Ive said it once before and il say it again this franchise needs bungie back to revive it!! Or even risk moving it to another studio cause 343 just cant get it right!
No way! I played the Destiny franchise for 7 years. I have about 10,000 hours in it. Bungie has always been clueless. During the past few years the game became so bad that I finally quit playing it several weeks ago.
Bungie does not care about the players. They continue to change the game into the ultimate time consuming grindfest so they can focus their effort instead on a new game to be released in about 2024.
I played over 10,000 game matches of Halo 2 multiplayer. several hundred playthroughs of the campaigns of the original trilogy.
The Lack of Biomes, the lack of the campaign being inconsistent with what we were shown in the 2018 trailer, the lack of multiplayer maps and modes, no pre-game or post game lobbies, and a story that feels “off” in some way has me dissapointed.
I thought this was going to be a return to the Halo we love, and it wasn’t.
The concept art they just released looks FREAKING AMAZING, with a battle against the Guardian, Chief flying onto the ring from space with fellow spartans, giant Covenant-like mechs shooting at Banished ships, some action on Sanghelios, and bigger open world environments, and makes me wish we got a game with that kind of exciting set pieces.
The Infinite campaign just felt like one really long level and I kinda got bored quickly with it.
this problem is all a old problem since the halo 3 and halo reach time so its a old problem you now get.
if i remember it good in the halo 4 and halo 5 time people have complain about the JIP system when that was the only solution to fix this quiting problem but now there have not add it in the game and people going to complain again about the quiting problem agian.
banning then has no use since there are time’s its the connection problem with the host you get.
or you disconnect from the netwrok from some reason when its not your problem.
the only solution is to bring the JIP system back in the halo series and that if people not like it there need to deal it since its or there complain there is a quiting problem or there not like the JIP.
If competent people were given the chance to make the game, I think it could come back. Unfortunately 343i have proven time and time and time and time again that they aren’t the ones to do that. I would be surprised if they didn’t overall their staff at some point. Clearly this group that doesn’t have it. The game feels like a cheap Chinese ripoff of a Halo game.
If you can’t max progression with the amount of exp they give you, then you’re awful. So many of us are done with our battlepasses that you’re just complaining to complain.
Radar is working as intended. If you’re only using that to identify enemies then you deserve to be backsmacked for not checking corners.
Melee kills are working as intended, you just didn’t see the round they shot first.
